1. Collection of General Information

When you access our website, information of a general nature is automatically collected. This information (server log files) includes, for example, the type of web browser, the operating system used, the domain name of your internet service provider, and similar data. This is exclusively information that does not allow any conclusions to be drawn about your person. This information is technically necessary in order to correctly deliver the contents of websites requested by you and is mandatory when using the Internet. Anonymous information of this kind is statistically evaluated by us in order to optimize our website and its technical platform.

2. SSL Encryption

To protect the security of your data during transmission, we use state-of-the-art encryption procedures (e.g., SSL) via HTTPS.

3. Cookies

Like many other websites, we also use so-called "cookies." Cookies are small text files that are transferred from a website server to your hard drive. This automatically provides us with certain data such as IP address, browser used, operating system about your computer, and your connection to the internet.

Cookies cannot be used to start programs or transmit viruses to a computer. Based on the information contained in cookies, we can make navigation easier for you and enable the correct display of our websites.

Under no circumstances will the data we collect be passed on to third parties or linked to personal data without your consent.

Of course, you can also view our website without cookies. Internet browsers are regularly set to accept cookies. You can deactivate the use of cookies at any time via the settings of your browser. Please use the help functions of your internet browser to find out how you can change these settings. Please note that some features of our website may not work if you have disabled the use of cookies.

We use various cookies and tracking technologies on our website to statistically evaluate the use of our website, optimize marketing activities, and provide you with a better user experience. For this purpose, we use the following services, among others:

Google Analytics (GA4):
This service from Google Ireland Limited analyzes user behavior on our website by creating pseudonymized usage profiles. The information collected about your use of our website is generally transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. Further information can be found at https://policies.google.com/privacy .

Google Ads:
We use the online advertising program "Google Ads." As part of Google Ads, we use so-called conversion tracking to measure the success of our advertising measures. Cookies are set when you click on a Google ad.

Apollo:
We use Apollo to support marketing and sales activities, such as analyzing website visits and user interactions. Further information on data protection at Apollo can be found at https://www.apollo.io/privacy-policy .

The use of these services is based exclusively on your consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR, which you can grant or withdraw via our consent management tool ("Borlabs Cookie").

4. Borlabs Cookie Consent Tool

This website uses Borlabs Cookie from Borlabs GmbH, Hamburger Str. 11, D-22083 Hamburg for managing consent to the use of cookies and external services. For this purpose, Borlabs sets a technically necessary cookie ("borlabs-cookie") to manage and store your consents. Borlabs Cookie does not process any personal data.

Your consents given when entering the website are stored in the "borlabs-cookie" cookie. If you wish to revoke these consents, simply delete the cookie in your browser. When you re-enter/reload the website, you will be asked again for your cookie consent.

The legal basis for processing is § 25 (1) TDDDG in conjunction with Art. 6 (1) lit. b GDPR, the legal requirement to ensure proper consents when visiting a website based on clear and comprehensive information. More information on data processing at Borlabs Cookie can be found here: https://de.borlabs.io/datenschutz/ .

5. Contact Form / E-Mails

If you contact us by e-mail or via the contact form, the information you provide will be stored for the purpose of processing the inquiry and for possible follow-up questions. Without your consent, these data will not be passed on to third parties.

6. Legal Basis of Processing

The legal basis for processing operations for which we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose is Art. 6 (1) lit. a) GDPR. If the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract, Art. 6 (1) 1 lit. b) GDPR is the legal basis. If our company is subject to a legal obligation that requires the processing of personal data, such as in the field of tax law, processing is based on Art. 6 (1) lit. c) GDPR.

In some cases, processing of personal data may be necessary to protect vital interests of the data subject or another natural person. In this case, Art. 6 (1) lit. d) GDPR is the legal basis.

Processing operations may also be based on Art. 6 (1) 1 lit. f) GDPR if the processing is necessary for the purposes of legitimate interests pursued by our company or a third party.

7. Deletion or Blocking of Data

We adhere to the principles of data minimization and data economy. We therefore store your personal data only as long as necessary to achieve the purposes mentioned here or as required by the various storage periods stipulated by law. After the discontinuation of the respective purpose or expiration of these periods, the corresponding data are routinely blocked or deleted in accordance with the legal provisions.

8. Data Protection for Applications and in the Application Process

We collect and process personal data from applicants for the purpose of handling the application process. Processing can also take place electronically. If an employment contract is concluded with an applicant as a result of the application process, the transmitted data will be stored for the purpose of managing the employment relationship in compliance with the legal provisions. If no employment contract is concluded, the application documents will be deleted at the latest three months after notification of rejection, provided that no other legitimate interests of our company oppose such deletion.

9. Automated Decision Making

We do not use any automated decision making or so-called "profiling" with the data processed by us.

10. YouTube

We have integrated the external service YouTube Video on our website. YouTube Video is a component of the YouTube video platform, LLC, where users can upload, share, and receive detailed statistics about content over the Internet. YouTube Video uses cookies and other browser technologies to analyze user behavior, recognize users, and create user profiles. This information is used, among other things, to analyze the activity of the content accessed and to create reports. If a user is registered with YouTube, LLC, YouTube Video can assign the played videos to the user's profile.

When you access this content, a connection is established to servers of YouTube, LLC, Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street Dublin 4, Ireland, with your IP address and, if applicable, browser data such as your user agent being transmitted. The use of the service is based on your consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. a) GDPR.

It cannot be ruled out that personal data may also be processed on servers of Google with locations outside the European Union (EU) or the European Economic Area (EEA). Google is certified according to the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, the applicable data protection agreement between the EU and the USA. Based on this, we may assume that Google guarantees a level of data protection comparable to that of the EU.

For more information about data processing by Google, please visit: https://policies.google.com/privacy . You can also change your personal data protection settings in the privacy center there.

11. Social Media

In addition to this website, we also operate various social media channels. Currently, we have presences on LinkedIn and YouTube. You can access our pages there via the corresponding buttons on our website. Please note explicitly that you use these pages and their functions under your own responsibility.

When you visit our presence on the platforms mentioned, personal data may be transmitted to the operator of the respective platform and processed by them, such as IP address, processor type used, and browser version including plug-ins. The data collected about you in this context is processed by the provider of the social medium and may also be transferred to countries outside the European Economic Area (EEA).

If you are logged in to such a website with your personal user account during your visit, the operator can assign the visit to your account. If you want to avoid this, you should log out of the respective platform before visiting our online presence, deactivate the "stay logged in" function, delete the cookies present on your device, and restart your browser.

For the purpose and scope of data collection and the further processing and use of the data by the operator of the respective platform, as well as your rights and setting options to protect your privacy, please refer to the respective data protection information:

You also have the right to correction, blocking, or, apart from the required data storage for business processing, deletion of your personal data. Please send an e-mail to office@tps-elektronik.com for this purpose.

In order to consider a data block at any time, this data must be kept in a lock file for control purposes. You may also request the deletion of the data, provided there is no legal obligation to archive it. Where such an obligation exists, we will block your data on request.

You have the right to withdraw your consent to the processing of personal data at any time with effect for the future. The legality of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent until withdrawal remains unaffected by the withdrawal. You can make changes or revoke your consent with effect for the future by sending a corresponding e-mail to office@tps-elektronik.com .

We have a statutory response period of one month to process your request, which may be extended by a further two months in exceptional cases. We strive to process your request as quickly and completely as possible within the first month after receipt. Please note that, due to legal retention periods, we may still be obliged to store certain personal data about you even after a request for deletion.

If you believe that the processing of your personal data violates the GDPR, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, in particular in the Member State of your residence, place of work, or place of the alleged infringement.

The supervisory authority responsible for data protection for us is:
