Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy sets out the approach which OMNITRONICS will take in relation to the treatment of Personal Information. It includes information on how OMNITRONICS collects, uses, discloses and keeps secure, individuals’ personal information. It also covers how OMNITRONICS makes the personal information it holds available for access to and correction by the individual.

This policy has been drafted having regard to OMNITRONICS’s obligations under the Commonwealth of Australia Privacy Act 1988 (including the National Privacy Principles) (the Privacy Act).

In addition to Australian Privacy Legislation, the processing of personal information, such as the name, address, e-mail address, or telephone number of a data subject shall always be in line with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and in accordance with the country-specific data protection regulations applicable to OMNITRONICS’s operations in EU member countries and other non-EU legislations.

The use of the Internet pages of OMNITRONICS is possible without any indication of personal information; however, if a data subject wants to use special services via our website, processing of personal information could become necessary. If the processing of personal information is necessary and there is no statutory basis for such processing, we generally obtain consent from the data subject.

OMNITRONICS has implemented numerous technical and organizational measures to ensure the most complete protection of personal information processed through our website (s). However, Internet-based data transmissions may in principle have security gaps, so absolute protection may not be guaranteed. For this reason, every data subject is free to transfer personal information to us via alternative means, e.g. by telephone.

 

  1. Collection

1.1 OMNITRONICS will only collect Personal Information where the information is necessary for OMNITRONICS to perform one or more of its functions or activities. In this context, “collect” means gather, acquire or obtain by any means, information in circumstances where the individual is identifiable or identified.

1.2 OMNITRONICS collects Personal Information primarily to supply individuals and organisations who obtain OMNITRONICS products and services directly from OMNITRONICS with information and details of its products and services. OMNITRONICS also collects and uses Personal Information for secondary purposes including:

  1. provision of products and services;
  2. accounting purposes;
  3. business planning and product development.

1.3 OMNITRONICS will notify individuals (including, but not limited to, our customers) of the matters listed below at the time of collecting any Personal Information:

  1. the main reason that we are collecting Personal Information (this reason will be the Primary Purpose);
  2. other related Uses or Disclosures that we may make of the Personal Information (Secondary Purposes);
  3. our identity and how individuals can contact us, if this is not obvious;
  4. that individuals can access the Personal Information that OMNITRONICS holds about them;
  5. that individuals should contact OMNITRONICS (even if they are not a member or an employee of a member) if they wish to access or correct Personal Information collected by us or have any concerns in relation to Personal Information;
  6. the organisations or types of organisations to whom we usually Disclose the Personal Information;
  7. where applicable, any law that requires the Personal Information to be collected;
  8. the consequences (if any) for the individual if all or part of the Personal Information is not provided to OMNITRONICS .

1.4 Where it is not practicable for OMNITRONICS to notify individuals of all of the Collection Information before the collection of Personal Information, OMNITRONICS will ensure that individuals are notified of the Collection Information as soon as possible after the collection. OMNITRONICS will provide “post collection notification” in those circumstances where it is not practicable to notify individuals about the collection of their personal information before it is collected.

1.5 OMNITRONICS will not collect Sensitive Information from individuals except with express consent from the individual and only where it is necessary for OMNITRONICS to collect such information for an activity or function.

1.6 OMNITRONICS will not collect Personal Information secretly or in an underhanded way.

1.7 OMNITRONICS will take steps to ensure that individuals on purchased lists are or have been notified of the information as outlined at 1.3.

1.8 OMNITRONICS may collect data online:

  1. Cookies

The Internet pages of OMNITRONICS use cookies. Cookies are text files that are stored in a computer system via an Internet browser.

Many Internet sites and servers use cookies. Many cookies contain a so-called cookie ID. A cookie ID is a unique identifier of the cookie. It consists of a character string through which Internet pages and servers can be assigned to the specific Internet browser in which the cookie was stored. This allows visited Internet sites and servers to differentiate the individual browser of the data subject from other Internet browsers that contain other cookies. A specific Internet browser can be recognized and identified using the unique cookie ID.

Through the use of cookies, OMNITRONICS can provide the users of this website with more user-friendly services that would not be possible without the cookie setting.

By means of a cookie, the information and offers on our website can be optimized with the user in mind. Cookies allow us, as previously mentioned, to recognize our website users. The purpose of this recognition is to make it easier for users to utilize our website. The website user that uses cookies, e.g. does not have to enter access data each time the website is accessed, because this is taken over by the website, and the cookie is thus stored on the user’s computer system. Another example is the cookie of a shopping cart in an online shop. The online store remembers the articles that a customer has placed in the virtual shopping cart via a cookie.

The data subject may, at any time, prevent the setting of cookies through our website by means of a corresponding setting of the Internet browser used, and may thus permanently deny the setting of cookies. Furthermore, already set cookies may be deleted at any time via an Internet browser or other software programs. This is possible in all popular Internet browsers. If the data subject deactivates the setting of cookies in the Internet browser used, not all functions of our website may be entirely usable.

  1. Collection of general data and information

The OMNITRONICS website(s) collect(s) a series of general data and information when a data subject or automated system calls up the website. This general data and information are stored in the server log files. Collected may be (1) the browser types and versions used, (2) the operating system used by the accessing system, (3) the website from which an accessing system reaches our website (so-called referrers), (4) the sub-websites, (5) the date and time of access to the Internet site, (6) an Internet protocol address (IP address), (7) the Internet service provider of the accessing system, and (8) any other similar data and information that may be used in the event of attacks on our information technology systems.

When using these general data and information, OMNITRONICS does not draw any conclusions about the data subject. Rather, this information is needed to (1) deliver the content of our website correctly, (2) optimize the content of our website as well as its advertisement, (3) ensure the long-term viability of our information technology systems and website technology, and (4) provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for criminal prosecution in case of a cyber-attack. Therefore, OMNITRONICS analyzes anonymously collected data and information statistically, with the aim of increasing the data protection and data security of our enterprise, and to ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal information we process. The anonymous data of the server log files are stored separately from all personal information provided by a data subject.

  1. Registration on our website

The data subject has the possibility to register on the  OMNITRONICS website with the indication of personal information. Which personal information are transmitted to OMNITRONICS is determined by the respective input form used for the registration. The personal information entered by the data subject are collected and stored exclusively for internal use by OMNITRONICS , and for our own purposes. OMNITRONICS may request transfer to one or more processors (e.g. a parcel service) that also uses personal information for an internal purpose which is attributable to OMNITRONICS .

By registering on the  OMNITRONICS website, the IP address—assigned by the Internet service provider (ISP) and used by the data subject—date, and time of the registration are also stored. The storage of this data takes place against the background that this is the only way to prevent the misuse of our services, and, if necessary, to make it possible to investigate committed offences. Insofar, the storage of this data is necessary to secure OMNITRONICS . This data is not passed on to third parties unless there is a statutory obligation to pass on the data, or if the transfer serves the aim of criminal prosecution.

The registration of the data subject, with the voluntary indication of personal information, is intended to enable OMNITRONICS to offer the data subject contents or services that may only be offered to registered users due to the nature of the matter in question. Registered persons are free to change the personal information specified during the registration at any time, or to have them completely deleted from the data stock of OMNITRONICS .

OMNITRONICS shall, at any time, provide information upon request to each data subject as to what personal information are stored about the data subject. In addition, OMNITRONICS shall correct or erase personal information at the request or indication of the data subject, insofar as there are no statutory storage obligations. The entirety of OMNITRONICS employees are available to the data subject in this respect as contact persons.

  1. Subscription to our newsletters, white papers and events

On the OMNITRONICS website(s), users are given the opportunity to subscribe to our newsletter(s), white papers and events. The input form used for this purpose determines what personal information are transmitted, as well as when the information is ordered from OMNITRONICS .

OMNITRONICS informs its customers and business partners regularly by means of a newsletter about enterprise offers. The newsletter may only be received by the data subject if (1) the data subject has a valid e-mail address and (2) the data subject registers for the newsletter shipping. A confirmation e-mail will be sent to the e-mail address registered by a data subject for the first time for newsletter shipping, for legal reasons, in the double opt-in procedure for data subjects within GDPR jurisdictions. This confirmation e-mail is used to prove whether the owner of the e-mail address as the data subject is authorized to receive the newsletter.

During the registration, we also store the IP address of the computer system assigned by the Internet service provider (ISP) and used by the data subject at the time of the registration, as well as the date and time of the registration. The collection of this data is necessary in order to understand the (possible) misuse of the e-mail address of a data subject at a later date, and it therefore serves the aim of the legal protection of the controller.

The personal information collected as part of a registration for the newsletter will only be used to send our newsletter. In addition, subscribers to the newsletter may be informed by e-mail, as long as this is necessary for the operation of the newsletter service or a registration in question, as this could be the case in the event of modifications to the newsletter offer, or in the event of a change in technical circumstances.

There will be no transfer of personal information collected by the newsletter service to third parties. The subscription to our newsletter may be terminated by the data subject at any time. The consent to the storage of personal information, which the data subject has given for shipping the newsletter, may be revoked at any time. For the purpose of revocation of consent, a corresponding Unsubscribe link is found in each newsletter. It is also possible to unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time directly on the website of the controller, or to communicate this to the controller in a different way.

  1. Newsletter-Tracking

The OMNITRONICS Newsletters contain so-called tracking pixels. A tracking pixel is a miniature graphic embedded in such e-mails, which are sent in HTML format to enable log file recording and analysis. This allows a statistical analysis of the success or failure of online marketing campaigns. Based on the embedded tracking pixel, OMNITRONICS may see if and when an e-mail was opened by a data subject, and which links in the e-mail were called up by data subjects.

Such personal information collected in the tracking pixels contained in the newsletters are stored and analyzed by OMNITRONICS in order to optimize the shipping of the newsletter, as well as to adapt the content of future newsletters even better to the interests of the data subject. These personal information will not be passed on to third parties.

Data subjects are at any time entitled to revoke the respective separate declaration of consent issued by means of the double-opt-in procedure. After a revocation, these personal information will be deleted by the controller. OMNITRONICS automatically regards a withdrawal from the receipt of the newsletter as a revocation.

  1. Contact possibility via the website

The website(s) of OMNITRONICS contain(s) information that enables a quick electronic contact, as well as direct communication with us, which also includes a general address of the so-called electronic mail (e-mail address).

If a data subject contacts OMNITRONICS by e-mail or via a contact form, the personal information transmitted by the data subject are automatically stored. Such personal information transmitted on a voluntary basis by a data subject to OMNITRONICS are stored for the purpose of processing or contacting the data subject.

There is no transfer of this personal information to third parties.

  1. Comments function in the blog on the website

OMNITRONICS offers users the possibility to leave individual comments on individual blog contributions on a blog, which is on a website of OMNITRONICS . A blog is a web-based, publicly-accessible portal, through which one or more people called bloggers or web-bloggers may post articles or write down thoughts in so-called blogposts. Blogposts may usually be commented by third parties.

If a data subject leaves a comment on the blog published on this website, the comments made by the data subject are also stored and published, as well as information on the date of the commentary and on the user’s (pseudonym) chosen by the data subject. In addition, the IP address assigned by the Internet service provider (ISP) to the data subject is also logged.

This storage of the IP address takes place for security reasons, and in case the data subject violates the rights of third parties, or posts illegal content through a given comment. The storage of these personal information is, therefore, in the own interest of OMNITRONICS , so that we can exculpate in the event of an infringement. This collected personal information will not be passed to third parties, unless such a transfer is required by law or serves the aim of the defence of OMNITRONICS .

  1. Subscription to comments in the blog on the website

The comments made in the blog of OMNITRONICS may be subscribed to by third parties. In particular, there is the possibility that a commenter subscribes to the comments following his comments on a particular blog post.

If a data subject decides to subscribe to the option, OMNITRONICS will send an automatic confirmation e-mail to check the double opt-in procedure as to whether the owner of the specified e-mail address decided in favour of this option. The option to subscribe to comments may be terminated at any time.

8.3 OMNITRONICS will endeavour to manage any privacy related complaint efficiently and in a timely manner.

8.4 OMNITRONICS websites will contain a prominently displayed privacy statement and will include a copy of this OMNITRONICS Privacy Policy.

  1. Anonymous Transactions

9.1 OMNITRONICS will not make it mandatory for visitors to its web sites to provide Personal Information unless such Personal Information is required to answer an inquiry or provide a service. OMNITRONICS may however request visitors to provide Personal Information voluntarily to OMNITRONICS (for example, as part of a competition or questionnaire).

9.2 OMNITRONICS will allow its customers to transact with it anonymously wherever that is reasonable and practicable.

  1. Transferring / using personal information overseas

10.1 OMNITRONICS generally does not send information overseas.

10.3 For users within the EU member states the following applies:

  1. Data protection for applications and the application procedures

The data controller shall collect and process the personal information of applicants for the purpose of the processing of the application procedure. The processing may also be carried out electronically. This is the case, in particular, if an applicant submits corresponding application documents by e-mail or by means of a web form on the website to the controller.

If the data controller concludes an employment contract with an applicant, the submitted data will be stored for the purpose of processing the employment relationship in compliance with legal requirements.

If no employment contract is concluded with the applicant by the controller, the application documents shall be automatically erased two months after notification of the refusal decision, provided that no other legitimate interests of the controller are opposed to the erasure. Other legitimate interest in this relation is, e.g. a burden of proof in a procedure under the General Equal Treatment Act (AGG).

  1. Legal basis for the processing

Art. 6(1) lit. a GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing operations for which we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose. If the processing of personal information is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party, as is the case, for example, when processing operations are necessary for the supply of goods or to provide any other service, the processing is based on Article 6(1) lit. b GDPR.

The same applies to such processing operations which are necessary for carrying out pre-contractual measures, for example in the case of inquiries concerning our products or services. Is our company subject to a legal obligation by which processing of personal information is required, such as for the fulfillment of tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6(1) lit. c GDPR. In rare cases, the processing of personal information may be necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or of another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor were injured in our company and his name, age, health insurance data or other vital information would have to be passed on to a doctor, hospital or other third party. Then the processing would be based on Art. 6(1) lit. d GDPR. Finally, processing operations could be based on Article 6(1) lit. f GDPR.

This legal basis is used for processing operations which are not covered by any of the abovementioned legal grounds, if processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by our company or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject which require protection of personal information. Such processing operations are particularly permissible because they have been specifically mentioned by the European legislator. He considered that a legitimate interest could be assumed if the data subject is a client of the controller (Recital 47 Sentence 2 GDPR).

  1. The legitimate interests pursued by the controller or by a third party

Where the processing of personal information is based on Article 6(1) lit. f GDPR our legitimate interest is to carry out our business in favor of the well-being of all our employees and the shareholders.

  1. Period for which the personal information will be stored

The criteria used to determine the period of storage of personal information is the respective statutory retention period. After expiration of that period, the corresponding data is routinely deleted, as long as it is no longer necessary for the fulfillment of the contract or the initiation of a contract.

  1. Provision of personal information as statutory or contractual requirement; Requirement necessary to enter into a contract; Obligation of the data subject to provide the personal information; possible consequences of failure to provide such data

We clarify that the provision of personal information is partly required by law (e.g. tax regulations) or can also result from contractual provisions (e.g. information on the contractual partner). Sometimes it may be necessary to conclude a contract that the data subject provides us with personal information, which must subsequently be processed by us. The data subject is, for example, obliged to provide us with personal information when our company signs a contract with him or her. The non-provision of the personal information would have the consequence that the contract with the data subject could not be concluded. Before personal information is provided by the data subject, the data subject must contact any employee. The employee clarifies to the data subject whether the provision of the personal information is required by law or contract or is necessary for the conclusion of the contract, whether there is an obligation to provide the personal information and the consequences of non-provision of the personal information.

  1. Data protection for applications and the application procedures

The data controller shall collect and process the personal information of applicants for the purpose of the processing of the application procedure. The processing may also be carried out electronically. This is the case, in particular, if an applicant submits corresponding application documents by e-mail or by means of a web form on the website to the controller.

If the data controller concludes an employment contract with an applicant, the submitted data will be stored for the purpose of processing the employment relationship in compliance with legal requirements. If no employment contract is concluded with the applicant by the controller, the application documents shall be automatically erased two months after notification of the refusal decision, provided that no other legitimate interests of the controller are opposed to the erasure. Other legitimate interest in this relation is, e.g. a burden of proof in a procedure under the General Equal Treatment Act (AGG).

  1. Legal basis for the processing

Art. 6(1) lit. a GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing operations for which we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose. If the processing of personal information is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party, as is the case, for example, when processing operations are necessary for the supply of goods or to provide any other service, the processing is based on Article 6(1) lit. b GDPR. The same applies to such processing operations which are necessary for carrying out pre-contractual measures, for example in the case of inquiries concerning our products or services. Is our company subject to a legal obligation by which processing of personal information is required, such as for the fulfillment of tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6(1) lit. c GDPR. In rare cases, the processing of personal information may be necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or of another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor were injured in our company and his name, age, health insurance data or other vital information would have to be passed on to a doctor, hospital or other third party. Then the processing would be based on Art. 6(1) lit. d GDPR. Finally, processing operations could be based on Article 6(1) lit. f GDPR. This legal basis is used for processing operations which are not covered by any of the abovementioned legal grounds, if processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by our company or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject which require protection of personal information. Such processing operations are particularly permissible because they have been specifically mentioned by the European legislator. He considered that a legitimate interest could be assumed if the data subject is a client of the controller (Recital 47 Sentence 2 GDPR).

  1. The legitimate interests pursued by the controller or by a third party

Where the processing of personal information is based on Article 6(1) lit. f GDPR our legitimate interest is to carry out our business in favor of the well-being of all our employees and the shareholders.

  1. Period for which the personal information will be stored

The criteria used to determine the period of storage of personal information is the respective statutory retention period. After expiration of that period, the corresponding data is routinely deleted, as long as it is no longer necessary for the fulfillment of the contract or the initiation of a contract.
