II. Data Protection
The protection of your personal data when accessing our internet site and, where relevant, when entering data into your profile is important to us. Therefore, we comply with the legal requirements for data protection, in particular, the German Data Protection Act (Bundesdatenschutzgesetz - BDSG), the German Telemedia Act (Telemediengesetz - TMG), as well as the data protection regulations of the individual federal states in Germany.
All data that you transfer to us will be handled of course as confidential. As a matter of principle, we do not make your data available for use by third parties unless you have provided your consent to do so or we are required to disclose this data by order of government or judicial authorities.
The gathering, storing, processing and use of your personal data will only take place according to the following data protection policy.
1. Gathering data by calling up the internet site www.scmt.com
We do not gather, store, process or use any of your personal data in connection with simply browsing the internet site. However, usage data is stored in a log file for the purposes of data security for a short period of time on our server that could possibly enable identification (e.g. IP address, date, time and the accessed files). This usage data is evaluated anonymously for statistical purposes in the course of internal investigations into user interests and user behavior. For this purpose, the IP address is shortened to the last octet (partial segment) before the evaluation process.
An evaluation of this usage data to create a personal usage profile is not carried out unless you have expressly agreed to the use of this data in this way. We expressly reserve the right to evaluate this usage data in case of an illegal attack on our internet site or other legal violations that may lead to charges being placed with the relevant law enforcement authorities. Above and beyond this, no further evaluation of your usage data or the transfer of data to third parties will occur.
We also collect personal data when you voluntarily provide us with such information, for example, within the framework of the registration process, by filling out your profile or by sending us e-mails.
However, the German Data Protection ACT allows such data to always be used and processed when it is provided within the framework of a contractual relationship or similar contract-related relationship or insofar as it is necessary for the protection of the legitimate interests of the storage site and there is no reason to believe that the legitimate interests of the person concerned for excluding the processing or use of the data take precedence. Despite the withdrawal of consent or a complete or partial renouncement of your agreement on the validity of this data protection policy, it is possible, therefore, to use and process data without your approval within this limited legally permissible framework.
Insofar as you enter and save data in your profile and commission us to make your profile available to companies for application purposes, we are entitled to transfer the data you provide about yourself to our partner companies.
2. Cookies/Session IDs
We make use of the possibilities provided by so-called "session IDs" to improve the use of our internet services. Session IDs are small units of information that are temporarily stored on your hard drive by our server when you browse our internet site. They allow us to identify you during you visit to our internet site and to correctly assign you to the customer profile you have created with us. Session IDs do not contain any information readable in plain text and are not used to execute any programs and/or to load viruses onto your computer.
Session IDs are not stored permanently on your hard drive and are deleted again when you exit your internet browser. Most browsers are configured to accept session IDs automatically. However, you can disable this automatic acceptance of session IDs or set up your browser in such a way that you are informed as soon as session IDs are sent to your computer. If you disable the acceptance of session IDs, you can of course also continue to use our internet service without session IDs. However, we must point out that it may not be possible to use or there may be some limitations on those services requiring registration on our internet site if session IDs are disabled and also that navigation on the site may be limited.
