II. General information on data processing
1. Extent of processing of personal data
We fundamentally collect and use personal data of our users only insofar as this is necessary for the provision of a functional website as well as our content and services as well as for the implementation of our business purpose. The collection and use of personal data of our users regularly only takes place with the consent of the user. An exception applies in those cases in which prior collection of consent is not possible for actual reasons and the processing of data is permitted by legal regulations.
2. Purposes and legal basis for the processing of personal data
We process personal data only to fulfill our contractual obligations or to protect our predominant legitimate interests. Our legitimate interests are based on the implementation of our business purpose. Insofar as we obtain the consent of the data subject for processing operations of personal data, Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) serves as the legal basis for the processing of personal data.When processing personal data that is necessary for the fulfillment of a contract of which the data subject is a party, Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b GDPR serves as the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations that are necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures.Insofar as the processing of personal data is required to fulfill a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. c GDPR serves as the legal basis.In the event that vital interests of the data subject or another natural person require the processing of personal data, Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. d GDPR serves as the legal basis.If the processing is necessary to protect a legitimate interest of our company or a third party and the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not outweigh the first-named interest, Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR serves as the legal basis for the processing.
3. Categories of recipients and personal data, origin of the same
We pass on personal data to our business partners and service providers for the implementation of our business purpose. To implement our business purpose, we typically use the contact and address data of our customers and business partners. We typically receive personal data directly from the data subject or, with the consent of the data subject, in exceptional cases from third parties.
4. Transmission to third countries
As a principle, we do not transfer personal data to recipients in third countries (i.e., countries outside the EU). If data is transferred to recipients in third countries in the future, we will ensure that in addition to the necessary permit for the transfer, the third-party recipient ensures an adequate level of data protection (or an exception under Art 49 Para. 1 GDPR is present).
5. Data deletion and storage duration
The personal data of the data subject will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose for storage ceases to apply. Further storage can take place if this is provided for by the European or national legislator in Union regulations, laws, or other provisions to which the controller is subject. A blocking or deletion of the data also takes place taking into account the retention periods specified by the mentioned regulations, unless there is a need for further storage of the data for completing a contract or fulfilling a contract.
III. Provision of the website and creation of log files
1. Description and scope of data processing
Whenever you visit our website, our system automatically collects data and information from the computer system of the calling computer. The following data can be collected:
- Information about the type of browser and the version used
- The user’s operating system
- The Internet service provider of the user
- The IP address of the user
- Date and time of access
- Websites from which the user’s system reached our website (so-called referrers)
- Websites accessed by the user’s system via our website
- Other similar data and information used to prevent threats in case of attacks on our information technology systems
The data is also stored in the log files of our system. This data is not stored together with other personal data of the user.
In addition, technical connection data of the server access can be collected (IP address, date, time, page requested, browser information). Purpose of processing: Monitoring the technical function and increasing the operational safety of our web server, delivery and provision of the website and anonymization and creation of statistics. The legal basis for processing: a legitimate interest that outweighs the rights and freedoms of the data subjects (Art. 6 (1) f GDPR). Legitimate interests in this context: strong economic interest in a safe and functioning operation of the technical systems. A transmission of data is to: the processor Bluehost, Inc., 10 Corporate Drive, Burlington, MA 01803, United States of America (https://www.bluehost.com/). This may also mean a transmission of personal data to a country outside the European Union. The data is transmitted on the basis of standard data protection clauses issued by the Commission according to the examination procedure under Article 93 paragraph 2 GDPR. Duration of processing: varies and ends with the cessation of the processing purpose. The data processing on this website is carried out by the website operator, Bluehost Inc., under the following link you will find the privacy policy: https://newfold.com/privacy-center
2. Legal basis for data processing
The legal basis for the temporary storage of data and log files is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.
3. Purpose of data processing
The temporary storage of the IP address by the system is necessary to enable the website to be delivered to the user’s computer. The user’s IP address must remain stored for the duration of the session. When using this general data and information, Awi Engineering does not draw any conclusions about the data subject. This information is rather needed to correctly deliver the content of our website, to ensure the permanent functionality of our information technology systems and the technology of our website, and to provide law enforcement authorities with the necessary information for prosecution in the event of a cyber attack. The anonymous data and information collected by Awi Engineering are therefore evaluated statistically and further with the aim of increasing data protection and data security in our company, in order to ultimately ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data we process. The anonymous server log files are stored separately from all personal data provided by a data subject. This is also our legitimate interest in data processing according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.
4. Duration of storage
The data will be deleted as soon as they are no longer necessary to achieve the purpose for which they were collected.
5. Objection and removal possibility
The collection of data for the provision of the website and the storage of data in log files is absolutely necessary for the operation of the website. Consequently, there is no possibility of objection on the part of the user.

The IP address transmitted by the respective browser within the scope of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.
On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate the use of the website, to compile reports on website activities, and to provide other services related to website use and internet use to the website operator (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR). The legitimate interest in data processing lies in the optimization of this website, the analysis of website usage, and the adaptation of content.

The data sent and linked with cookies, user identifiers (e.g., User-ID), or advertising IDs are automatically deleted after 50 months. Data whose storage period has been reached is automatically deleted once a month.
The collection by Google Analytics can be prevented by the visitor adjusting the cookie settings for this website. The collection and storage of the IP address and the data generated by cookies can also be objected at any time with effect for the future.
