Privacy Policy Schmachtl GmbH

Data Transmission

We process your personal data with the help of data processors who assist us in providing services (e.g. web hosting, email newsletter delivery service). These data processors are obligated to strictly protect your personal data and may not process it for any other purpose than providing our services.

Your personal data is only disclosed to typical service providers such as banks (in the case of transfers to you), tax consultants (for our accounting purposes), shipping service providers (in the case of shipping to you), etc.

If our contractual partners or data processors are located in a third country, i.e. a country outside the European Economic Area (EEA), you will be informed separately by us.

We do not sell or market your personal data to third parties outside the group.

Storage Period

Personal data will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of storage is no longer applicable. Storage may also take place if required by the European or national legislator in Union regulations, laws, or other provisions to which the controller is subject. Data will also be blocked or deleted when a storage period prescribed by the aforementioned standards expires, unless there is a need for further data storage for contract conclusion or contract fulfillment.

Contact Form

After submitting the contact form, the personal data you entered will be processed by the data protection officer for the purpose of processing your request based on the consent you provided by submitting the form.

There is no legal or contractual obligation to provide the personal data. Failure to provide it will only result in you not being able to submit your request and us not being able to process it.

You have the right to revoke your consent at any time by written notification, without affecting the lawfulness of the processing carried out based on the consent prior to the revocation.

Direct Marketing

Based on your consent or legitimate interest, your data will be further processed in a manner that is compatible with the original processing purpose. You have the right to object to the use of your personal data for the purpose of direct marketing at any time by written notification. In the event of objection, your personal data will no longer be processed for the purpose of direct marketing.

Google Analytics

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google LLC ("Google"), on the legal basis of our overriding legitimate interest (analysis of website usage). We have concluded a data processing agreement with Google for this purpose.

When you access our website, a software application establishes a connection to Google's servers and transmits data to Google's servers, some of which are located in the United States. Google Analytics also uses cookies to store information about website users and to analyze how users interact with the website.

This website uses the "IP anonymization" feature. As a result, your IP address is truncated and anonymized by Google within Member States of the European Union or in other states party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area before being processed. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transmitted to a Google server in the United States and truncated there.

According to Google, the collected data will be used to evaluate the use of the website, compile reports on website activity, and provide other services related to website usage and internet usage.

Google may also transfer this information to third parties where required by law or where such third parties process the data on Google's behalf.

Detailed information on how Google Analytics handles user data can be found in the Google Privacy Policy and the Google Analytics Privacy Policy.

Use of AI Services for Automated Document Processing

To automate the processing of incoming business correspondence (e.g. for the creation of invoices and quotations), we use services provided by Mistral AI (Mistral AI, Paris, France). For this purpose, the content of incoming emails, which may contain personal data of contact persons of our business partners (e.g. names and contact details), is transmitted to the Mistral AI interface (API) for automated text recognition and data extraction. The processing is carried out solely for the purpose of generating the requested result (e.g. extraction of relevant fields). No permanent storage of the data takes place at Mistral AI (Zero Data Retention). The transmitted data is not used to train AI models.

The legal basis for this processing is Article 6(1)(b) GDPR (performance of a contract or implementation of pre-contractual measures with our business partners) and Article 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in efficient, automated business process management). A data processing agreement pursuant to Article 28 GDPR has been concluded with Mistral AI. Processing takes place within the European Union.
