As the operator of these pages, we take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with data protection information.
When you use this website, various personal data are collected. Personal data is any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (‘data subject’); an identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier. This privacy notice explains which information we collect and how we use it. It also explains how and for which purpose this is done.
Personal data is only collected, used and, if necessary, passed on by the provider if this is expressly permitted by law or if the user consents to the collection, processing, use and passing on of the data.
We would like to point out that data transmission on the Internet (e.g. communication by e-mail) can have security gaps. Complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.

This data protection notice provides users with information on the type, scope and purpose of the collection and use of their data, that is collected and used by the responsible provider.
The legal framework for data protection is provided by the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the German Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG-new).
Our offer sometimes includes content and services of other providers. In order for this data to be called up and displayed in the user's browser, the transmission of the IP address is mandatory. The providers (hereinafter referred to as "third party providers") therefore perceive the IP address of the respective user.
Even though we endeavour to use only third-party providers who only need the IP address to be able to deliver content, we have no influence on whether the IP address may be stored. In this case, this process serves statistical purposes, among other things. If we are aware that the IP address is stored, we inform our users of this fact.
If we transfer data to third countries, i.e. countries outside the European Union, then the transfer takes place exclusively in compliance with the legally regulated permissibility requirements.
If the transfer of data to a third country is not for the purpose of fulfilling our contract with you, we do not have your consent, the transfer is not necessary for the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims and no other exemption under Article 49 of the GDPR applies, we will only transfer your data to a third country if an adequacy decision under Article 45 of the GDPR or appropriate safeguards under Article 46 of the GDPR are in place.
An adequate level of data protection in the USA has been declared most recently by the adequacy decision "Data Privacy Framework (DPF)" adopted in July 2023 which you can find here. U.S. companies must certify to be listed within the DPF. We have agreed so-called EU standard data protection clauses with the providers in third countries, as well as partially data processing on European and German servers. Timely data deletion reduces the risk of third-party access.
Alternatively or in addition, by entering into the EU standard data protection clauses adopted by the European Commission with the receiving entity, they create appropriate safeguards in accordance with Article 46(2)(c) of the GDPR and an adequate level of data protection. Copies of the EU standard data protection clauses are available on the website of the European Commission, available here
Your data will not be passed on to unauthorized third parties. Where external service providers receive your personal data we have ensured that they implement appropriate technical and organizational measures and that they comply with the applicable data protection regulations and laws.
In accordance with the principles of data avoidance and data minimization, we only store personal data for as long as is necessary or prescribed by law (statutory storage period). If the purpose of the information collected no longer applies or the storage period ends, we block or delete the data.
This website uses so-called cookies. These are text files that are stored on your computer from the server. They may contain information about the browser, the IP address, the operating system and the internet connection. We do not pass this data on to third parties or link it to personal data without your consent.

In the case of merely informative use of the website, i.e. if you do not register or otherwise transmit information to us, we only collect the personal data that your browser transmits to our server. If you wish to view our website, we collect the following data, which is technically necessary for us to display our website to you and to ensure stability and security (legal basis for this is Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. f) GDPR), legitimate interest:
If JavaScript is enabled, also:
Essential cookies do not require your consent and are processed by us in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest here is the smooth and optimal use and presentation of our website.
On our website we use the cookie consent tool "Banny" of Kemweb GmbH, Mainz. The purpose of this processing is to request your consent for the non-technical cookies used on our website and to document it in accordance with applicable data protection regulations and laws.
When you visit our website, a cookie is stored in your browser to document the consents you have given or the revocation of these consents.
The legal basis for this data processing is Art. 6 (1) lit. c) GDPR - legal obligation, which is that consent must be obtained for non-technically necessary cookies before they are used in accordance with the ECJ ruling of 1 October 2019, AZ C-673/17.
The collected data will be stored until you request us to delete it or until you delete the cookie yourself or until the purpose for storing the data no longer applies. Mandatory statutory retention periods remain unaffected.
If you register on our website in order to make use of personalized services, personal data will be collected. This includes the name, address, telephone number and e-mail address as contact and communication data.
Registration enables access to services and content that are only available to registered users. If necessary, registered users have the option of changing or deleting the data provided during registration at any time, taking into account the legal retention periods. Upon request, we will of course inform you which personal data has been collected and stored. The legal basis here is your consent within the scope of registration (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR).
In addition, we will correct or delete the data upon request, provided that there are no legal obligations to retain the data. For queries and your request for correction or deletion of the data, please use the contact details stated in this data protection information.
If you register for our newsletter, we will use the data you enter exclusively for this purpose or to inform you about circumstances relevant to this service or registration. We do not pass this data on to unauthorized third parties. We use Hubspot Inc., Cambridge, USA (complete address with contact data see paragraph „Hubspot“) as our newsletter service provider.
A valid e-mail address is required to receive the newsletter. The IP address used to register for the newsletter and the date on which you ordered the newsletter are also stored. This data serves us as proof in the event of misuse if a third-party email address is registered for the newsletter. In order to also ensure that an e-mail address is not improperly entered into our distribution list by third parties, we work in accordance with the law with the so-called "double opt-in" procedure. Within the scope of this procedure, the ordering of the newsletter, the sending of the confirmation email and the receipt of the registration confirmation are logged. The legal basis is your consent in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a) GDPR.
You have the option at any time to revoke your consent to the storage of data, e-mail address and their use for the newsletter dispatch. We will provide you with a link for revocation in each newsletter and on the website. You also have the option of informing us of your wish to revoke via the contact options mentioned in this document.
On our website, we offer you the opportunity to contact us via the online form or by e-mail. In this case, the information you provide will be stored for the purpose of processing the contact. The disclosure of your data is completely voluntary. The processing of the data you provide is based exclusively on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR) or if you wish to conclude a contract with us or have questions in this regard (Art. 6 para. 1 b) GDPR).
You can revoke your consent at any time. An informal e-mail to us is sufficient for this purpose. The legality of the data processing operations carried out until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.
Data will not be passed on to unauthorized third parties. A comparison of the data collected in this way with data that may be collected by other components of our website is also not carried out. The services offered may - as far as technically possible and reasonable - also be used without providing this data or by providing anonymized data or a pseudonym.
Your data will remain with us until you request us to delete it, revoke your consent to store it or the purpose for the data processing no longer applies (e.g. after we have completed processing your enquiry). Mandatory legal provisions - in particular retention periods - remain unaffected.

This website contains plugins from YouTube of Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, associated with Google Inc. based in San Bruno/California, USA.
When you start an embedded YouTube video on our website, a connection to the YouTube servers is established. This tells YouTube which website you have visited. If you have your own YouTube account and you are already logged in there, you enable YouTube to assign your surfing behaviour directly to your personal profile. You can prevent this association if you log out of your account beforehand.
If you wish, you can use the "YouTube button" or the share function. To do so, it is necessary to register with YouTube. The registration has the effect that the service of the provider is activated.
The processing is carried out in accordance with your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO). If you have given your consent, you can revoke it at any time in the cookie settings.
Through the embedded use of YouTube, further services are reloaded, we cannot prevent this and we do not actively use these services ourselves.
These services are:
The embedded use of YouTube loads the online marketing tool Campaign Manager from Google Ireland Ltd, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. Campaign Manager uses cookies to serve ads that are relevant to users, to improve campaign performance reports or to prevent a user from seeing the same ads more than once. Google uses a cookie ID to record which ads are served in which browser and can thus prevent them from being shown more than once. In addition, Campaign Manager can use cookie IDs to record so-called conversions that are related to ad requests. This is the case, for example, when a user sees a Campaign Manager ad and later visits the advertiser's website with the same browser and makes a purchase. According to Google, Campaign Manager cookies do not contain any personal information.
If you are registered with a Google service, Google can assign the visit to your account. Even if you are not registered with Google or have not logged in, it is possible that the provider will find out and store your IP address.
The processing is carried out in accordance with your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO). If you have given your consent, you can revoke it at any time in the cookie settings.
The data sent by us and linked to cookies are automatically deleted after 14 months. The deletion of data whose retention period has been reached takes place automatically once a month.

As part of the business process and during our business relationship we process personal data that you provide to us prior to or during the business relationship. The legal basis for this is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR. As a rule, this involves the following data:
The controllers process your personal data for marketing/sales purposes for contacting you and for initiating, establishing or implementing a business and/or contractual relationship as well as for responding to your inquiries (pre-contractual and/or contractual measures, contract performance) and, if applicable, for sending you our newsletter, provided you have consented to this or this is in our legitimate interest.
The controllers only process your personal data if there is a legal basis for doing so. In particular, the following legal bases come into consideration:
Recipients of your personal data are authorized SIMONA employees in various business units of the SIMONA Group (worldwide) who are entrusted with activities and processes within the scope of customer and prospect relationships (sales, branding), the IT department as well as, if applicable, financial authorities, auditors and, if applicable, other institutions or authorities (e.g. customs authorities). As a result, your personal data may be transferred to and processed in third countries in which SIMONA companies are located (e.g. USA, Asia and others), primarily for internal purposes, unless otherwise agreed. Furthermore, contractually bound service providers may be used for contract processing. In the current case your data will be stored on servers located in Germany by SAP Deutschland SE & Co. KG, Walldorf (in the SAP cloud). An IT service provider for maintenance and support (currently Sybit GmbH, Radolfzell) may also gain access to your data. Your personal data will not be transferred to unauthorized third parties for purposes other than those listed above.
Among others, the software application SAP C4C, a cloud-based CRM software with analysis, reporting and recording capabilities as well as interfaces to other systems, is used. Software and data are physically located in Germany.
Furthermore, we use software such as SnapADDY (Würzburg, Germany) as well as Microsoft 365 incl. "Teams" as well as Hubspot (both USA), or other software from providers in third countries for data processing for the purposes mentioned above. Your data may thus also be transferred to the USA or other third countries. An adequate level of data protection in the USA was declared by the most recent adequacy decision "Data Privacy Framework (DPF)" adopted in July 2023. The above-mentioned U.S. companies are among those listed and certified therein. We have agreed so-called EU standard data protection clauses with the providers in third countries as well as partial data processing on servers in Germany and the EU. Timely data deletion reduces the risk of third-party access.
Your personal data will only be stored for the above-mentioned purposes and will be deleted after expiry of legal (primarily commercial and tax law) retention periods. If the personal data is not affected by legal retention periods, it will be deleted if it is no longer required for the purposes described above or if you revoke a previously given consent to receive our newsletter. The storage periods are 6 years for business letters (e.g. offers, delivery bills) and 10 years (e.g. invoices) - counting in each case beginning with the following year of the document date. Prospect data will be deleted 24 months after the last contact, unless otherwise agreed.
