The protection of your personal data during survey, data processing and handling regarding your visit on our homepage is of S&A’s high concern. Your data will be protected according to legal requirements. Please find attached the information about which data are collected and used during your visit on our homepage.

Survey and processing of data:
Each visit on our homepage und each requested file from S&A’s homepage is noted in a protocol. This back up is relevant for internal systematical and statistical purposes. The protocol consists of : name of searched file, date and time of visited page, requested amount of data, indication about the successful download, name of webbrowser, searching domain as well as your request sometimes, when coming from a search engine . Additionally IP-addresses from incoming servers are noted. However it is impossible to draw conclusions on other personal data and not even wanted.
More personal data are collected only, if you agree in line with your request or registration for a newsletter, for example.

Use and transmission of personal data:
Regarding to  § 28 BDSG (German Bundesdatenschutzgesetz) S&A informs you about saving the data you sent to us. Our treatment of  data you sent to us is in accordance to the BDSG as well as the German Teledienstdatengesetz.

As far as S&A receives personal data from your side,  S&A uses them for replying your request, for processing of your order/contract and for technical administration. After your agreement - e. g. to receive a newsletter - S&A uses your data to inform you about offers or news. To execute these services S&A might delegate a third party, which is legally bound to the BDSG (Bundesdatenschutzgesetz) and its regulations. S&A won’t sell or rent your personal data, except it is necessary to conduct your order/project. You owe the right to recall a given consent at any time with effect for the future.

The deletion of saved personal data will be carried out when you recall the given consent for saving the data, when data are not necessary any more or when the saving of data is legally inadmissible.

Right of access:
According to our German Bundesdatenschutzgesetz (BDSG) you reserve the right on free of charge information about your saved data as well as a right for correction, barring or deletion of personal data. On written request S&A gladly informs you about all data saved in relation to your person.

Notice on security: It is of S&A’s high concern to save your personal data by using all technical and organisational methods so that no third party persons will have access. A full security on data per e-mail sending cannot be ensured, therefore  S&A recommends a sending of confidential data per post.
