Data processing on this website is carried out by the website operator. The operator’s contact details can be found in the Legal Notice of this website.

How do we collect your data?

Some data is collected when you provide it to us. This may include, for example, data that you enter into a contact form.

Other data is collected automatically by our IT systems when you visit the website. This primarily includes technical data, such as your internet browser, operating system or the time at which the page was accessed.

This data is collected automatically as soon as you enter our website.

What do we use your data for?

Some of the data is collected to ensure that the website is provided without errors.

Other data may be used to analyse how visitors use the website.

What rights do you have regarding your data?

You have the right, at any time and free of charge, to obtain information about the origin, recipients and purpose of your stored personal data.

You also have the right to request the correction, restriction or deletion of this data.

For this purpose, as well as for any other questions concerning data protection, you may contact us at any time using the address provided in the Legal Notice.

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority.

Analytics and Third-Party Tools

When you visit our website, your browsing behaviour may be statistically analysed. This is mainly carried out using cookies and analytics programs.

The analysis of your browsing behaviour is generally anonymous, which means that the browsing behaviour cannot normally be traced back to you.

You may object to this analysis or prevent it by not using certain tools. Detailed information about these options can be found in this Privacy Policy.

We will also explain the available objection options in the relevant sections below.

What Happens to the Data You Enter into Our Contact Form?

When you submit the information entered into the contact form by clicking the relevant button, you agree that we may use your information to respond to your enquiry or contact you.

As a general rule, your data will not be passed on to third parties unless applicable data protection regulations permit such a transfer or we are legally required to do so.

You may withdraw your consent at any time with effect for the future. If you withdraw your consent, your data will be deleted without delay, unless statutory retention obligations require us to retain it.

Otherwise, your data will be deleted once we have processed your enquiry or when the purpose for storing the data no longer applies.

You may request information about the personal data stored about you at any time.


2. General Information and Mandatory Information

The operators of this website take the protection of your personal data very seriously.

We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with applicable data protection legislation and this Privacy Policy.

When you use this website, various types of personal data are collected.

Personal data is information that can be used to identify you personally.

This Privacy Policy explains what data we collect, what we use it for and how and for what purpose the processing takes place.

Please note that data transmitted via the internet, for example when communicating by email, may be subject to security vulnerabilities.

Complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.

Information About the Data Controller

Telephone: +49 76459 17 97 50
Email: info@seteco.de

The data controller is the natural or legal person who, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of processing personal data, such as names, email addresses or similar information.

Withdrawal of Your Consent to Data Processing

Many data-processing activities are only possible with your express consent.

You may withdraw consent that you have previously given at any time. An informal notification by email is sufficient.

The lawfulness of the data processing carried out before the withdrawal of consent remains unaffected by the withdrawal.

Right to Data Portability

You have the right to receive data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfilment of a contract in a commonly used, machine-readable format.

You may also request that this data be transferred to a third party.

A direct transfer of the data to another controller will only take place where this is technically feasible.

SSL or TLS Encryption

For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or enquiries that you send to us as the website operator, this website uses SSL or TLS encryption.

You can recognise an encrypted connection by the fact that the address bar in your browser changes from “http://” to “https://” and a padlock symbol appears in the browser’s address bar.

When SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

Access, Correction, Restriction and Deletion

Within the framework of applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time and free of charge to receive information about your stored personal data, its origin, its recipients and the purpose of the data processing.

Where applicable, you also have the right to request the correction, restriction or deletion of this data.

For this purpose, as well as for any other questions concerning personal data, you may contact us at any time using the address provided in the Legal Notice.

Objection to Promotional Emails

We hereby object to the use of contact details published as part of the legal notice requirements for the purpose of sending unsolicited advertising or informational materials.

The legal basis for processing personal data in this context is Article 6(1)(c) GDPR and Article 6(1)(f) GDPR.

The data entered into the contact form is processed on the basis of your consent in accordance with Article 6(1)(a) GDPR.

You may withdraw your consent at any time. An informal notification by email is sufficient.

4. Social Media

Sharing Content Using Social Media Tools

The content on our website may be shared on social networks such as Facebook or X in a manner designed to comply with data protection requirements.

This website may use the eRecht24 Safe Sharing Tool for this purpose.

Information about the eRecht24 Safe Sharing Tool can be found here:

https://www.e-recht24.de/dsg/12639-erecht24-safe-sharing-tool.html

The tool only establishes direct contact between the relevant social network and the user when the user actively clicks the corresponding sharing button.

The tool does not automatically transfer user data to the operators of these platforms when the website is initially accessed.

If the user is logged into one of the relevant social networks, an information window may appear when the social media buttons are used.

Our users can therefore share content from this website on social networks without complete browsing profiles automatically being created when the website is initially accessed.

Facebook Plugins

Plugins or functions from the Facebook social network may be integrated into our website.

The provider responsible for users in the European Economic Area is:

Meta Platforms Ireland Limited

Information about Meta’s social plugins can be found here:

https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/

When you visit one of our pages containing an active Facebook plugin, a direct connection may be established between your browser and Meta’s servers.

Meta may receive information that your IP address has accessed our website.

If you click a Facebook button while logged into your Facebook account, you may link content from our website to your Facebook profile.

This may allow Meta to associate your visit to our website with your user account.

Please note that, as the website operator, we do not receive complete information about the content of the data transmitted to Meta or how Meta uses that data.

Further information can be found in Meta’s Privacy Policy:

https://www.facebook.com/privacy/policy/

If you do not want Meta to associate your visit to our website with your Facebook account, please log out of your Facebook account before visiting our website.
