Privacy policy
1. Data protection at a glance
Brähler Systems GmbH appreciates your interest and your visit to this website. In general, you can visit the internet pages of Brähler Systems without providing any personal data. Nevertheless, data must be collected to ensure error-free provision of the website.
Personal data is any data by which you can be personally identified. Anonymous data exists when no personal reference to the user can be established. For detailed information on the subject of data protection, please refer to our privacy policy listed below this text.
2 General notes and mandatory information
2.1 Data protection
Brähler Systems GmbH as the operator of these pages takes the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with the statutory data protection regulations and this privacy policy.
We would like to point out that data transmission on the Internet (e.g. when communicating by e-mail) can have security gaps. Complete protection of the data against access by third parties is not possible.
2.2 Note on the responsible body
The responsible party for data processing on this website is:
Brähler Systems GmbH
Auf der Alten Burg 6
D-53639 Königswinter
Phone: +49 2244 84144
E-mail: info@braehler-systems.com
The controller is the natural or legal person who alone or jointly with others determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data (e.g. names, e-mail addresses, etc.).
2.3 Legal basis
The legal regulations on data protection are derived from the European General Data Protection Regulation. The German Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG) and the German Telemedia Act (TMG) apply in addition.
Your rights as a data subject
- The right to information (Art. 15 EU-DS-GVO),
- the right to deletion (Art. 17 EU-DS-GVO),
- the right to rectification (Art. 16 EU-DS-GVO),
- the right to data portability (Art. 20 EU-DS-GVO),
- the right to withdraw consent to data processing (Art 7 EU GDPR),
- the right to restrict data processing (Art. 18 EU-DS-GVO),
- the right to object to data processing (Art. 21 EU-DS-GVO).
If you have any questions about data processing in our company, please contact info@braehler-systems.com.
Right of appeal to the competent supervisory authority
In the event of breaches of the GDPR, data subjects shall have a right of appeal to a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of their habitual residence, their place of work or the place of the alleged breach. The right of appeal is without prejudice to other administrative or judicial remedies.
2.4 Storage duration
The anonymized data logged by our web server is deleted after six months.
2.5 Note on data transfer to the USA and other third countries
Among other things, tools from companies based in the USA or other third countries that are not secure from a data protection perspective are integrated on our website. When these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to and processed in these third countries. We would like to point out that no level of data protection comparable to that in the EU can be guaranteed in these countries. For example, U.S. companies are obligated to release personal data to security authorities without you, the data subject, being able to take legal action against this. It can therefore not be ruled out that US authorities (e.g. intelligence services) process, evaluate and permanently store your data located on US servers for surveillance purposes. We have no influence on these processing activities.
2.6 SSL or TLS encryption
For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or requests that you send to us as the site operator, this site uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the browser address bar 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.
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 assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of an important public interest of the European Union or a Member State.
3. Data collection on this website
3.1 Data acquisition
On the one hand, your data is collected by you providing it to us. This may be, for example, data that you enter in a contact form.
Other data is collected automatically or after your consent when you visit the website by our IT systems. These are mainly technical data.
When you access our website, the following access data is stored anonymously:
- Target website,
- Time of access,
- amount of data sent,
- Source page,
- browser used,
- operating system used,
- IP address, last byte anonymized.
Based on this stored data, it is not possible to identify a person. This privacy policy explains what data we collect and what we use it for. It also explains how this is done and for what purpose.
3.2 Request by e-mail, telephone or fax
If you contact us by e-mail, telephone or fax, your inquiry including all resulting personal data (name, inquiry) will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of processing your request. Wir geben diese Daten nicht ohne Ihre Zustimmung weiter.
The processing of this data is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b DSGVO, insofar as your request is related to the performance of a contract or is necessary for the performance of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective processing of the requests addressed to us (Art. 6 (1) f DSGVO) or on your consent (Art. 6 (1) a DSGVO) if this has been requested.
The data you send to us via contact requests will remain with us until you request us to delete it, revoke your consent to store it, or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies (e.g. after we have completed processing your request). Mandatory statutory provisions – in particular statutory retention periods – remain unaffected.
4. Cookies
Our Internet pages use so-called “cookies”. Cookies are small text files and do not harm your terminal device. They are stored either temporarily for the duration of a session (session cookies) or permanently (permanent cookies) on your terminal device.

Permanent cookies remain stored on your terminal device until you delete them yourself or until they are automatically deleted by your web browser.
Cookies have various functions. Many cookies are technically necessary because certain website functions would not work without them.
Cookies that are required to carry out the electronic communication process (necessary cookies) are stored on the basis of Art. 6 (1) lit. f DSGVO, unless another legal basis is specified. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing cookies for the technically error-free and optimized provision of its services.
You can set 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 in general and activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. When cookies are disabled, the functionality of this website may be limited.
