As the operator of this website and as a company, we come into contact with your personal data. This refers to all data that says something about you and with which you can be identified. In this privacy policy, we would like to explain to you in what way, for what purpose, and on what legal basis we process your data.
The following entity is responsible for data processing on this website and in our company:
Betzinger Railtec GmbH
Hembecker Talstraße 57
58256 Ennepetal
Germany
Phone: +49 2333 83841-22
E-Mail: info@betzinger-railtec.com
When you enter your data on websites, place online orders, or send emails via the Internet, you must always expect that unauthorized third parties may access your data. Complete protection against such access does not exist. However, we make every effort to protect your data as best as possible and to close security gaps as far as it is possible for us.
An important protection mechanism is the SSL or TLS encryption of our website, which ensures that data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties. You can recognize the encryption by the lock icon in front of the entered Internet address in your browser and by the fact that our Internet address begins with https:// and not with http://.
In some places in this privacy policy, we inform you about how long we or the companies that process your data on our behalf store your data. If such information is missing, we store your data until the purpose of data processing ceases to apply, you object to the data processing, or you revoke your consent to data processing.
In the event of an objection or revocation, however, we may continue to process your data if at least one of the following conditions is met:
In this case, we will delete your data as soon as the condition(s) cease(s) to apply.
IF YOU READ IN THIS PRIVACY POLICY THAT WE HAVE LEGITIMATE INTERESTS IN PROCESSING YOUR DATA AND THEREFORE BASE THIS ON ART. 6 PARA. 1 SENTENCE 1 LIT. F) GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT TO THIS ACCORDING TO ART. 21 GDPR. THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING BASED ON THE AFOREMENTIONED PROVISION. THE PREREQUISITE IS THAT YOU STATE REASONS FOR THE OBJECTION ARISING FROM YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION. NO JUSTIFICATION IS REQUIRED IF THE OBJECTION IS DIRECTED AGAINST THE USE OF YOUR DATA FOR DIRECT MARKETING.
THE CONSEQUENCE OF THE OBJECTION IS THAT WE MAY NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR DATA. THIS ONLY DOES NOT APPLY IF ONE OF THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS IS MET:
THE EXCEPTIONS DO NOT APPLY IF YOUR OBJECTION IS DIRECTED AGAINST DIRECT MARKETING OR AGAINST PROFILING THAT IS ASSOCIATED WITH IT.
Many data processing operations are carried out on the basis of your consent. You give this, for example, by ticking a corresponding box in online forms before sending the form, or by allowing certain cookies when you visit our website. You can revoke your consent at any time without giving reasons (Art. 7 Para. 3 GDPR). From the time of revocation, we may then no longer process your data. The only exception: We are legally obliged to retain the data for a certain period of time. Such retention periods exist in particular in tax and commercial law.
If you believe that we are in violation of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority according to Art. 77 GDPR. You can contact a supervisory authority in the Member State of your habitual residence, place of work, or place of the alleged infringement. The right to lodge a complaint exists in addition to administrative or judicial remedies.
Data that we process automatically based on your consent or in fulfillment of a contract must be provided to you or a third party in a common machine-readable format if you request it. We can only transfer the data to another controller to the extent that this is technically feasible.
According to Art. 15 GDPR, you have the right to obtain free information about what personal data we have stored about you, where the data comes from, to whom we transmit the data, and for what purpose it is stored. If the data is incorrect, you have the right to rectification (Art. 16 GDPR), and under the conditions of Art. 17 GDPR, you may request that we delete the data.
In certain situations, you can request that we restrict the processing of your data according to Art. 18 GDPR. The data may then – apart from storage – only be processed as follows:
The right to restrict processing exists in the following situations:
Our website is hosted on a server of the following internet service provider (host):
Hetzner Online GmbH
Industriestr. 25
91710 Gunzenhausen
Yes
The host stores all data of our website. This also includes all personal data that is automatically collected or entered by you. This may include in particular: Your IP address, pages accessed, names, contact details and inquiries, as well as meta and communication data. In processing the data, our host adheres to our instructions and processes the data only to the extent necessary to fulfill the service obligation towards us.
Since we address potential customers through our website and maintain contacts with existing customers, the data processing by our host serves to initiate and fulfill contracts and is therefore based on Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b) GDPR. Furthermore, it is our legitimate interest as a company to provide a professional internet presence that meets the necessary requirements for security, speed, and efficiency. In this respect, we also process your data on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f) GDPR.
Server log files record all requests and accesses to our website and record error messages. They also include personal data, especially your IP address. However, this is anonymized by the provider after a short time, so that we cannot assign the data to your person. The data is automatically transmitted by your browser to our provider.
Our provider stores the server log files to trace the activities on our website and to identify errors. The files contain the following data:
We do not combine this data with other data, but only use it for statistical evaluation and to improve our website.
We have a legitimate interest in ensuring that our website runs without errors. It is also our legitimate interest to have an anonymized overview of the accesses to our website. The data processing is therefore lawful according to Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f) GDPR.
You can send us a message via the contact form on this website.
We store your message and the information from the form in order to process your request including follow-up questions. This also applies to the provided contact details. We do not pass on the data to other persons without your consent.

This does not apply if we are legally obligated to retain the data.
If your inquiry is related to our contractual relationship or serves to carry out pre-contractual measures, we process your data on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b) GDPR. In all other cases, it is our legitimate interest to effectively process inquiries directed to us. The legal basis for data processing is therefore Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. If you have consented to the storage of your data, Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a) GDPR is the legal basis. In this case, you can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future.
You can send us a message via email or fax, or call us.
We store your message and your provided contact information or transmitted phone number in order to process your inquiry, including follow-up questions. We do not share the data with other persons without your consent.

We use the following tools to analyze the behavior of our website visitors and to show you advertisements.
We are always interested in optimizing our web offerings for users and placing advertisements optimally. The WP Statistics plugin helps us with this by analyzing user behavior and thus providing us with the necessary data basis for adjustments.

The data is stored exclusively locally.
As website operators, we have a legitimate interest in analyzing user behavior for the purpose of optimizing our web offering and the advertising placed there. The data processing is therefore lawful according to Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. In the event that you have consented to the storage of cookies or otherwise consented to data processing, Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a) GDPR is exclusively the legal basis. You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future.
We use fonts from the US company Google on our website. We have installed the fonts locally, so no connection to Google servers is established when you visit our website.
You can find more information about Google Fonts at https://developers.google.com/fonts/faq and in Google’s privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en.
We use icons from the Font Awesome icon library on our website. The library is offered by Fonticons Inc. We have installed the icons locally, so no connection to the company’s servers is established when you visit our website.

Service that enables access to a JavaScript library for use on this website
The OpenJS Foundation, 548 Market St, PMB 57274, San Francisco, California, USA
jQuery adheres to the standard contractual clauses of the European Commission (see https://openjsf.org/privacy)
We use jQuery services on our website. jQuery is a JavaScript library. It simplifies JavaScript programming by providing an easy-to-use interface for many common tasks. With jQuery, users can make their websites faster and more interactive. When you visit our website, a direct connection is established between your browser and jQuery servers. This way, jQuery learns that our website has been accessed via your IP address.
The fonts from jQuery ensure a uniform font appearance on our websites. As a company, we have a legitimate interest in this. The data processing is therefore lawful according to Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f) GDPR.
If you have consented to data processing, we process your data exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR. You can revoke your consent at any time. From the time of revocation, we may no longer process your data.
By social media, we mean the social networks on which we have created publicly accessible profiles. You can read which specific social networks these are further below.
The respective operating companies of the social networks. You can find the individual operators further below for the respective networks.
The operators of social networks are generally able to collect and evaluate comprehensive data about the behavior of visitors and users of the network. It is not possible for us to track all processing operations in the social networks we use, which is why additional processing operations not listed here may be carried out by the operators of the social networks. You can find more information on this in the terms of use and privacy policies of the respective social networks.
The processing of your data can be triggered when you visit the website of the social network or our profile page there. Even if you open a website that uses certain content from the network, e.g., Like or Share buttons, data can already be transmitted to the operators of the social network. If you are a user of the social network yourself and logged into your user account, your visit to our profile page can be associated with your account by the operator of the social network. Even if you have not registered a user account yourself or are not logged in, it is possible that the network operator still collects your personal data, e.g., by recording your IP address or setting cookies. With this data, the operators can create user profiles tailored to your behavior and interests and display interest-based advertising to you within and outside the network. If you are a registered user of the network, interest-based advertising can also be displayed on all devices on which you are or were logged in.
Our profiles on social networks are intended to ensure the most comprehensive presence of our company on the internet. We have a legitimate interest in this as a company. The data processing is therefore lawful according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.
The data processing operations and analyses carried out by the operators of the social networks themselves may be based on other legal grounds. These must be stated by the operators of the social networks.
When you visit one of our profiles on social networks, we are jointly responsible with the operator of the respective network for the data processing operations triggered by this visit. You can assert your rights in principle both against us and against the operator of the respective network.
Despite the joint responsibility with the operators of the social networks, our influence on the data processing operations of the respective operator is limited and is primarily based on the specifications of the operator.
If we collect data via our profiles on social networks, it is deleted from our systems as soon as the purpose for its storage no longer applies, you request us to delete it, or you revoke your consent for storage. Stored cookies remain on your device until you delete them. Mandatory legal provisions – especially retention periods – remain unaffected.
We have no influence on how long the operators of social networks store your data, which the operators collect for their own purposes. You can obtain information on this directly from the operator of the respective social network, e.g., in the respective privacy policy.
