1. General Information and Principles of Data Processing

Protecting your personal data is very important to us. We process personal data exclusively in compliance with the applicable data protection laws, in particular the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) as well as the relevant national data protection legislation.

With this Privacy Policy, we inform you in a transparent, clear and comprehensible manner about which personal data is processed when you use our website, for which purposes such processing takes place, and which rights you are entitled to as a data subject. Our aim is not only to provide legally accurate information, but also to present it in a way that is easy to understand.

This Privacy Policy applies to all visitors of our website as well as to interested parties, business partners and customers who contact us via this website or use our online services.

2. Joint Controllership pursuant to Article 26 GDPR

Personal data processed in connection with the operation of this website is processed under joint controllership pursuant to Article 26 of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) by the following entities:

LGIM Logistics Automation GmbH

Flughafenstraße 59, 70629 Stuttgart, Deutschland

Commercial Register: Stuttgart District Court (Amtsgericht Stuttgart), HRB 796125

and

Linyi Lingong Intelligent Information Technology Co., Ltd.

Nr. 112, Huaxia Street, Economic Development Zone

Linyi, Shandong, China

Email: intl@lgmgim.cn

Phone: +86 539 8780182

Both entities cooperate closely on an organizational and economic level and jointly determine the purposes and means of processing personal data in connection with this website. This includes, in particular, the provision of the website, the handling of contact requests and the internal organization of data processing.

The jointly responsible entities have concluded an agreement pursuant to Article 26 GDPR which regulates, among other things, the allocation of data protection obligations between them. The essential elements of this agreement (“essence of the arrangement”) will be made available upon request.

Regardless of the joint controllership, you may exercise your rights as a data subject at any time against either of the jointly responsible entities.

3. Definitions

Personal data means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. This includes, for example, names, email addresses, telephone numbers, contractual data or IP addresses.

Processing refers to any operation performed on personal data, such as collection, recording, storage, use, disclosure, restriction or deletion.

4. Processing of Personal Data When Accessing the Website

When accessing our website, certain personal data is processed automatically. This processing is carried out by the hosting provider we use in the form of so-called server log files. In particular, the IP address of the requesting device, the date and time of access, the pages or files accessed, the previously visited website (referrer URL), information about the browser used and the operating system are processed.

This processing is technically necessary to ensure the proper display of the website, to guarantee the stability and security of our systems and to detect and analyze technical malfunctions or security-related incidents. No personal evaluation or merging of this data with other data sources takes place.

The processing is based on our legitimate interest in maintaining a secure, stable and functional website pursuant to Article 6(1)(f) GDPR.

The data stored in the server log files is deleted on a regular basis, at the latest after a period of approximately seven to thirty days, unless security-relevant events require longer storage.

5. Contact Requests and Communication

If you contact us via the contact form on the website, by email or by telephone, we process the personal data you provide, in particular your name, contact details and the content of your request.

This data is processed solely for the purpose of handling your request, communicating with you and, where applicable, initiating or performing a contractual relationship. Without this processing, proper handling of your request would not be possible.

The legal basis for this processing is Article 6(1)(b) GDPR, insofar as your request relates to pre-contractual measures or the performance of a contract. In all other cases, processing is based on our legitimate interest in efficient, professional and transparent communication pursuant to Article 6(1)(f) GDPR.

The personal data processed in connection with contact requests is deleted once your request has been conclusively processed and no further follow-up is expected. In any case, deletion takes place no later than after 24 months, unless statutory retention obligations apply.

6. Use of Cookies and Consent Management

Our website uses cookies. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device and enable certain functions of the website or facilitate its use.

We distinguish between technically necessary cookies and optional cookies, for example for statistical or analytical purposes.

Technically necessary cookies are required to ensure basic website functions, such as proper page display, security features or language settings. These cookies are used on the basis of our legitimate interest pursuant to Article 6(1)(f) GDPR and, where applicable, Section 25(2) No. 2 of the German Telecommunications and Telemedia Data Protection Act (TTDSG).

Optional cookies, in particular those used for analysis or statistics, are used exclusively on the basis of your prior explicit consent. In this case, processing is based on Article 6(1)(a) GDPR and Section 25(1) TTDSG.

You may withdraw or adjust your consent at any time with effect for the future via the cookie settings. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out prior to the withdrawal pursuant to Article 7(3) GDPR.

7. Recipients of Personal Data

Personal data is disclosed to third parties only if this is legally permitted or if you have given your explicit consent. Disclosure may take place in particular if it is necessary for the performance of contractual or pre-contractual obligations or if there is a legal obligation to do so.

Recipients of personal data may include hosting and IT service providers, internal departments as well as affiliated companies within the framework of joint controllership.

Where external service providers process personal data on our behalf, this is carried out exclusively on the basis of data processing agreements pursuant to Article 28 GDPR.

8. Transfer of Personal Data to Third Countries

Due to our international corporate structure, it may be necessary to transfer personal data to countries outside the European Union, in particular to China.

Such transfers are carried out exclusively in compliance with the requirements of the GDPR. In particular, we ensure that appropriate safeguards within the meaning of Article 46 GDPR are in place, for example through the conclusion of EU Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) and the implementation of additional technical and organizational measures.

Further information on the safeguards implemented can be provided upon request.

9. Storage Period of Personal Data

We store personal data only for as long as necessary for the respective processing purposes or as required by statutory retention obligations.

Once the purpose of processing no longer applies or statutory retention periods expire, the personal data is deleted or anonymized.

10. Rights of Data Subjects

As a data subject, you have the right at any time to request access to your personal data. Furthermore, you have the right to rectification of inaccurate data, erasure, restriction of processing, data portability and to object to certain processing activities concerning your personal data pursuant to Articles 15 to 21 GDPR.

Where processing is based on your consent, you may withdraw such consent at any time with effect for the future.

11. Right to Lodge a Complaint with the Competent Supervisory Authority

You have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority if you believe that the processing of your personal data violates data protection laws.

For LGIM Logistics Automation GmbH with its registered seat in Stuttgart, Germany, the competent supervisory authority is generally:

The State Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information Baden-Württemberg (Landesbeauftragter für den Datenschutz und die Informationsfreiheit Baden-Württemberg – LfDI)

P.O. Box 10 29 32

70025 Stuttgart

Germany

You may also contact the supervisory authority of your habitual residence or place of work.
