Data Protection
The operators of these pages take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with statutory data protection regulations and this Privacy Policy.
When you use this website, various personal data is collected. Personal data means data by which you can be personally identified. This Privacy Policy explains what data we collect and what we use it for. It also explains how and for what purpose this is done.
We would like to point out that data transmission over the internet, for example when communicating by email, may have security vulnerabilities. Complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.

The controller responsible for data processing on this website is:
Beckmann Automation GmbH

48607 Ochtrup
Germany
Phone: +49 (0) 2553 / 20 58
Email: info@beckmann-sew.com
Represented by the Managing Director: Rosa Maria Padilla Beckmann
We are neither willing nor obliged to participate in dispute resolution proceedings before a consumer arbitration board.
Withdrawal of Your Consent to Data Processing
Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You may withdraw consent you have already given at any time. An informal notification by email to us is sufficient for this purpose. The legality of the data processing carried out up to the point of withdrawal remains unaffected by the withdrawal.
Right to Object to Data Collection in Special Cases and to Direct Marketing (Art. 21 GDPR)
If data processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6(1)(e) or Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, you have the right at any time, for reasons arising from your particular situation, to object to the processing of your personal data; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions. The respective legal basis on which processing is based can be found in this Privacy Policy. If you object, we will no longer process your affected personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that override your interests, rights, and freedoms, or the processing serves the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims. This is an objection pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR.
If your personal data is processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right at any time to object to the processing of personal data concerning you for the purpose of such advertising; this also applies to profiling insofar as it is associated with such direct marketing. If you object, your personal data will subsequently no longer be used for direct marketing purposes. This is an objection pursuant to Art. 21(2) GDPR.
Right to Lodge a Complaint with the Competent Supervisory Authority
In the event of violations of the GDPR, data subjects have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of their habitual residence, their place of work, or the place of the alleged violation. The right to lodge a complaint exists without prejudice to other administrative or judicial remedies.
Right to Data Portability
You have the right to have data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfillment of a contract handed over to you or to a third party in a commonly used, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only be carried out insofar as it is technically feasible.
SSL or TLS Encryption
For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or inquiries that you send to us as the website operator, this site uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the browser’s address line changes from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock symbol in your browser bar.
If SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.
Information, Blocking, Deletion, and Correction
Within the framework of the applicable statutory provisions, you have the right at any time to receive information free of charge about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients, and the purpose of the data processing, and, where applicable, the right to correction, blocking, or deletion of this data. For this purpose, as well as for further questions regarding personal data, you may contact us at any time at the address provided in the legal notice.
Right to Restriction of Processing
You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. For this purpose, you may contact us at any time at the address provided in the legal notice. The right to restriction of processing exists in the following cases:
• If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we generally need time to verify this. For the duration of the verification, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
• If the processing of your personal data was or is unlawful, you may request the restriction of data processing instead of deletion.
• If we no longer need your personal data, but you require it for the exercise, defense, or establishment of legal claims, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of deletion.
• If you have lodged an objection pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR, a balancing of your interests and our interests must be carried out. As long as it has not yet been determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, this data may — apart from being stored — only be processed with your consent, or for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims, or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person, or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or of a Member State.
Objection to Promotional Emails
We hereby object to the use of contact details published as part of the legal notice obligation for the purpose of sending unsolicited advertising and informational materials. The operators of these pages expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of unsolicited promotional information being sent, such as spam emails.
3. Data Collection on Our Website
Cookies
The websites partly use so-called cookies. Cookies do not cause any damage to your computer and do not contain viruses. Cookies serve to make our offering more user-friendly, effective, and secure. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer and saved by your browser.
Most of the cookies we use are so-called “session cookies.” They are automatically deleted after the end of your visit. Other cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them. These cookies enable us to recognize your browser during your next visit.
You can configure your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies and only allow cookies in individual cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or generally, and activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. If cookies are disabled, the functionality of this website may be restricted.
Cookies that are required to carry out the electronic communication process or to provide certain functions requested by you, such as a shopping cart function, are stored on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing cookies for the technically error-free and optimized provision of its services. Insofar as other cookies, such as cookies used to analyze your browsing behavior, are stored, these are dealt with separately in this Privacy Policy.
Server Log Files
The provider of the pages automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. These are:
• Browser type and browser version
• Operating system used
• Referrer URL
• Hostname of the accessing computer
• Time of the server request
• IP address
This data is not combined with other data sources.
This data is collected on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the technically error-free presentation and optimization of its website; for this purpose, server log files must be collected.
Contact Form
If you send us inquiries via the contact form, your details from the inquiry form, including the contact data you provide there, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the inquiry and in case of follow-up questions. We do not pass on this data without your consent.
The processing of the data entered into the contact form is therefore carried out exclusively on the basis of your consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR. You may withdraw this consent at any time. An informal notification by email to us is sufficient for this purpose. The legality of the data processing operations carried out up to the point of withdrawal remains unaffected by the withdrawal.
The data you enter in the contact form will remain with us until you request its deletion, withdraw your consent to storage, or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies, for example after your inquiry has been fully processed. Mandatory statutory provisions, in particular retention periods, remain unaffected.
Inquiry by Email, Telephone, or Fax
If you contact us by email, telephone, or fax, your inquiry, including all personal data arising from it, such as your name and inquiry, will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of handling your request. We do not pass on this data without your consent.
This data is processed on the basis of Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR, provided that your inquiry is related to the fulfillment of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, processing is based on your consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and/or on our legitimate interests pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, as we have a legitimate interest in effectively processing inquiries addressed to us.
The data you send to us through contact inquiries will remain with us until you request its deletion, withdraw your consent to storage, or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies, for example after your request has been fully processed. Mandatory statutory provisions, in particular statutory retention periods, remain unaffected.
