Information on data protection

Data protection declaration - general notice and mandatory information

Thank you for your interest in our company and your visit to our website.

We take it for granted that your personal data will be protected during collection, processing and use during your visit in accordance with the statutory provisions.

In accordance with the new EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), we use and store your contact details (essentially: name, business telephone number/address/email) exclusively for the purpose of contacting you. This includes business correspondence, information on TOPAS electronic AG's participation in trade fairs and the irregular sending of a few newsletters per year on current innovations in our service and product portfolio. Below you will find information about which data is collected and how we handle this data.

Revocation of your consent to data processing

Some data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You can withdraw your consent at any time. An informal notification by email is sufficient to withdraw your consent. The legality of the data processing carried out until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

Right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority

As the data subject, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority in the event of a breach of data protection law. The competent supervisory authority for data protection issues is the Landesbeauftragte für den Datenschutz Niedersachsen.

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 third parties. The data will be provided in a machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only be done to the extent that it is technically feasible.

Right to information, rectification, blocking, erasure

You have the right to free information about your stored personal data, the origin of the data, its recipients and the purpose of the data processing and, if necessary, a right to correction, blocking or deletion of this data at any time within the framework of the applicable legal provisions. You can contact us at any time using the contact options listed in the legal notice regarding this and other questions on the subject of personal data.

SSL or TLS encryption

For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content that you send to us as the site operator, our website uses SSL or TLS encryption. This means that data that you transmit via this website cannot be read by third parties. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the "https://" address line of your browser and the lock symbol in the browser line.
