Personal data is any information that refers to an identified or identifiable natural person (“data subject”), such as e.g. your name, your address, your phone number, your date of birth, your bank details and your IP address.
Basically, we only collect and use personal data when this is necessary in order to provide a functioning website and our contents and services. The collection and use of personal data takes place regularly only with your consent. An exception applies in such cases, where obtaining prior consent is not possible for practical reasons and the processing of data is permitted by statutory regulations.
The following data is recorded during the use of our websites, whereby storage is exclusively for internal system-related and statistical purposes, so-called usage data:
Legal basis for the temporary storage of data and log files is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation).
The temporary storage of the IP address is required by the system, in order to enable the delivery of the website to the user’s computer. For this purpose, the user’s IP address must be stored for the duration of the session.
The storage in log files is carried out to ensure the functioning of the website. In addition, the data is used to optimise the website and ensure the security of our IT systems. An analysis of the data for marketing purposes does not take place in this connection.
Our legitimate interest in data processing according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR also lies in these purposes.
The data is deleted as soon as it is no longer necessary for the purpose for which it was collected. In the case of recording data to make the website available, this is the case when the respective session is terminated.
In the case of storing the data in log files, this is the case after seven days at the latest. Storage beyond this is possible. In this case, the IP addresses of the users are deleted or modified so that it is no longer possible to allocate them to the accessing client.
The recording of data to make the website available and the storage of data in log files is absolutely necessary for the operation of the website. Consequently, the user has no contesting option.
We offer you the option of registering on our website, giving personal data. For this, the data is entered in an entry mask and transmitted to us and stored. The following data is processed in the course of the registration process:
At the time of registration the following data is also stored:
Legal basis for processing the data in the case of the existence of your consent is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR.
If the registration serves the fulfilment of a contract, of which you are a contractual party or the execution of pre-contractual measures, additional legal basis for processing the data is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR.
Registration is necessary for making certain contents and services available on our website.
Registration is necessary to fulfil a contract with the user or to execute pre-contractual measures.
The data is deleted as soon as it is no longer necessary for the purpose for which it was collected.
This is the case for the fulfilment of a contract or the execution of pre-contractual measures during the registration process, if the data is no longer necessary for the execution of the contract. Even after concluding the contract, the necessity to store personal data of the contractual partner may exist, in order to comply with contractual and statutory obligations.
You have the opportunity, as the user, to cancel the registration by an appropriate request by e-mail. You may also have the data stored about you altered at any time by appropriate information by e-mail.
If the data is required to fulfil a contract or to execute pre-contractual measures, a premature erasure of the data is only possible, if it is not contrary to contractual or statutory obligations.
We provide a contact form for you on our website, with which you can conveniently get in touch with us electronically and send us your request. We only collect your name and possibly title and your address as well as the name of your company, your department and the address of your company, your e-mail address and your phone number via the contact form. Giving your phone number is voluntary.
We seek your consent for the processing of data during the dispatch process and refer to those privacy notices.
Alternatively, it is possible to contact us using the e-mail address provided. In this case the personal data transmitted with the e-mail is stored.
We only use your data to process your enquiry and can contact you for this purpose using the contact data given. Use of this data for advertising purposes or forwarding to third parties does not take place.
Legal basis for processing the data in the case of the existence of your consent is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR.
Legal basis for the processing of the data transmitted to us via the contact form or in the course of transmitting an e-mail is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. If making contact also aims at concluding a contract, additional legal basis for processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR.
The processing of personal data from the entry mask is only used for processing the communication with you. In the case of contact made by e-mail, the required legitimate interest is also in the processing of the data.
The other personal data processed during the dispatch process are only used to avoid abuse of the contact form and to ensure the security of our IT systems.
The data is deleted as soon as it is no longer necessary for the purpose for which it was collected. This is the case for the personal data from the entry mask of the contact form and the personal data transmitted by e-mail, if the respective conversation with you is terminated. The conversation is terminated when it can be inferred from the circumstances that the situation concerned has been conclusively clarified.
The personal data additionally collected during the dispatch process are deleted after a period of seven days at the latest.
You have the possibility of revoking your consent to the processing of personal data at any time. To do so, you can contact us by e-mail and revoke your consent. Should you contact us by e-mail, you can revoke the storage of your personal data at any time. The conversation cannot be continued in such a case.
All personal data that was stored in the course of making contact will be deleted in this case.

The legal basis for the transfer of data to third-parties for the purposes of executing a contract or for invoicing purposes is provided by Art. 6 para. 1 item. b GDPR.
The data is stored for the duration of the relevant contractual relationship or contractual or similar obligation. This period is generally 10 years in the case of legal transactions and 6 years in the case of commercial documents.
We use the information made available by you to select potential employees in accordance with Article 6 paragraph 1 b) GDPR.

The legal basis for the transfer of data to third-parties for the purposes of executing a contract or for invoicing purposes is provided by Art. 6 para. 1 item. b GDPR.
Data received from applicants is always deleted 4 months after the position in question has been assigned. This does not apply to the data of applicants who have given consent for their data to continue to be stored in the pool of applicant data. In the case of such data, a check is performed after two years to determine whether there is a requirement for continued storage. If there is no such requirement, the data is deleted.
We use the personal data you make available to us to answer your enquiries, to deal with your order in our online shop as well as for the technical administration of our websites.

We use a service of the company TraceParts S.A., Parc Eco Normandie, 76430 Saint Romain (France), in order to also be able to present our products to you in the context of our product descriptions in the form of 3D models. Our legitimate interest according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR also lies here.
If you make use of this offer by entering the corresponding e-mail address to your TraceParts Account in the appropriate box with the designation “TraceParts Account”, this address you have entered will be transmitted to TraceParts for identification purposes.

We use a data application service from the company OpenAI OpCo, LLC, 3180 18th St., San Francisco, CA 94110 (referred to as “OpenAI” below) for the launching, processing and execution of orders as well as for the processing of enquiries received via email or the contact form on our website. If you send an enquiry or an order via email or get in touch with us electronically using the contact form on our website then the subject and content of your email or the data collected in the contact form are passed on to the application via a technical interface. The data you enter are sent via the encrypted interface to OpenAI, where they are stored and processed. The data is processed in order to handle the contact request and, in particular, to categorise it on the basis of its subject matter and assign it a priority, as well as for the automatic recording of transferred invoice and delivery addresses for further processing in the order process. OpenAI processes data on our behalf and processing is safeguarded contractually by a contract processing agreement in accordance with Art. 28 GDPR and the corresponding standard contractual clauses issued by the European Commission (Implementing Decision (EU) 2021/914 of the EU Commission of 04.06.2021 – ref. C(2021) 3972, OJ. EU No. L 199/31 of 07.06.2021). The standard contractual clauses are used as a suitable mechanism for the transfer of data overseas in accordance with Art. 46 (2) point c GDPR in order to safeguard the transfer of data to OpenAI, which has its head office in the USA as a so-called EU third country. The German version of the standard contractual clauses can be consulted https://commission.europa.eu/system/files/2021-06/1_de_annexe_acte_autonome_cp_part1_v3.pdf.
The legal basis for the processing of the personal data is provided by Art. 6 (1) point b GDPR insofar as the data are used for the above-mentioned purpose of launching, processing and executing orders. Art. 6 (1) point f GDPR provides the legal basis for enquiries that do not relate to the fulfilment of a contract. The legitimate interest lies in the processing of contact requests, the rapid processing of the information that you send us and in the categorisation and prioritisation of the received enquiry so that it can be processed quickly and correctly.
For more information on the purpose and scope of data collection, as well as on the processing of your data by OpenAI, please consult the OpenAI API data usage policy. This can be found on the web at https://openai.com/policies/api-data-usage-policies. The general data protection provisions of OpenAI can be consulted at https://openai.com/policies/privacy-policy.
You have the right to object to your personal data being processed by OpenAI at any time. To exercise this right, please use the contact details given above.
When entering and processing notifications in our internal notifications system, we process, among other things, the following types of personal data:
We process the personal data with the aim of investigating notifications in order to prevent or detect infringements of applicable law or company regulations and/or to implement follow-up measures (such as measures to examine the validity of the claims made in the notification and, if necessary, to take action to counteract the notified infringement, including through internal follow-up, investigations, prosecutions, measures for the recovery of assets or for the conclusion of proceedings).
We only process the personal data of the informant if the informant has given their consent to this in accordance with Art. 6, (1) point a GDPR. This states that processing is only lawful if the data subject has given consent to the processing of his or her personal data for one or more specific purposes.
Information on employment status, information on data subjects and other information that makes it possible to draw conclusions about the identity of natural persons is processed only on the basis of Art. 6, (1) point f GDPR. This states that processing is lawful if it is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by the controller or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subjects who require protection of personal data.
Our legitimate interest consists – depending on the actual concrete case that is to be investigated – in the processing of notifications in order to implement follow-up measures, such as measures to examine the validity of the claims made in the notification and, if necessary, to take action to counteract the notified infringement, including through internal follow-up, investigations, prosecutions, measures for the recovery of assets or for the conclusion of proceedings. We examine whether the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of data subjects preclude the processing of such data on a case-by-case basis – including with regard to the infringement in question.
We may also process the personal data of employees pursuant to § 26, paragraph 1, sentence 2 of the German Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG). This states that the personal data of employees as defined in § 26, paragraph 1, sentence 2 of the German Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG) may be processed in order to uncover criminal offences if there are genuine reasons, which must be documented, giving rise to the suspicion that the data subject with whom there is an employment relationship has committed a criminal offence, if processing is necessary in order to uncover the offence, if the employee(s) does (do) not have compelling legitimate interests that override the justification for processing, and in particular if the nature and extent of processing are not disproportionate to the cause giving rise to it.
The personal data that are processed as the result of the notification are processed by the company lawcode GmbH, Universitätsstraße 3, 56070 Koblenz, on behalf of and in accordance with the instructions of mbo Osswald GmbH & Co KG.
Personal data are only transferred to third parties if there is a legal basis for doing so. This is the case, in particular, if the data are transferred in order to comply with legal requirements obliging us to provide information about, notify or transfer data, you have given us your consent to do this or transfer is justified in the light of the balance of interests.
In addition, external service providers, such as external data centres or telecommunications providers, act as processors on our behalf for the processing of personal data.
Depending on the area of competence relevant for the notification and in order to ensure the effective implementation of follow-up measures, the personal data may be transferred to the internal specialist department responsible.
Under certain circumstances, we also transfer personal data to state civil defence and/or law enforcement agencies, other competent administrations and/or persons who are subject to an obligation to maintain confidentiality, such as auditors/attorneys.
Data are usually stored until the follow-up measures have been concluded. In most cases, the data resulting from a notification are erased two months after the process has been definitively concluded, unless the instigation of further legal steps requires the continued retention of such data (e.g. initiation of criminal or disciplinary proceedings). We immediately erase personal data resulting from notifications if we consider that they clearly have no factual basis.
There is no contractual obligation to provide data relating to a notification and this is also not necessary for the conclusion of a contract. Under certain circumstances and on a case-by-case basis, there may be a legal obligation to send us a notification. It will then be necessary to process the data in order to deal with and investigate the notification correctly.
We point out that we are entitled in individual cases to give information on data upon instructions of the competent body, where this is required for the purposes of law enforcement, averting danger by the police forces of the German federal states, for complying with the legal assignments of the state and federal offices of the protection of the constitution, of the federal intelligence service or the military counter-intelligence service or to enforce intellectual property rights.

Whenever you connect to our Facebook page, your browser establishes a connection to Facebook and transfers information.
When you access a Facebook page, the IP address assigned to your terminal device is transferred to Facebook. According to the information provided by Facebook, this IP address is anonymized and deleted after 90 days. Facebook also stores information about its users' terminal devices (e.g. as part of the "Login notification" function). It may be possible for Facebook to use this to assign IP addresses to individual users.
If you are currently logged into Facebook as a user then a cookie with your Facebook identification is present on your terminal device. This allows Facebook to tell that you have searched for this page and how you have used it. The same applies for all other Facebook pages. Due to the Facebook buttons present on web pages, Facebook is able to record your visits to these web pages and assign them to your Facebook profile. This data can be used to tailor content or advertising to your profile.

Whenever you connect to our Instagram page, your browser establishes a connection to Instagram and transfers information.
Instagram uses cookies and similar technologies such as Pixel, Web Beacons or local storage in order to collect information about how you use Instagram, make functions available to you and show you advertising tailored to your interests.
When you use Instagram, certain log file information is automatically recorded. This includes the web request, IP address, browser type, referring/exit pages and URLs, the number of clicks and the way in which you interact with the links in the service, as well as domain names, landing pages, called pages and other similar information. This information allows Instagram to perform more accurate reporting and consequently helps improve the service.
When Instagram is accessed via mobile devices, Instagram can access one or more “device IDs”, record and monitor these and save them on your device and/or another computer. Device IDs are small files or similar data structures that are stored on your mobile device or assigned to it and uniquely identify your mobile device. A device ID can take the form of data and/or other software that is stored in connection with the device hardware or its operating system or data that is sent to the device by Instagram.
The device ID supplies information on how the service is used and allows Instagram to provide reports or personalised contents and advertising. Certain functions of the service may not function correctly if the use or availability of device IDs is impaired or disabled.
Instagram processes all the data collected about you via our Instagram page and may sometimes transfer it to countries outside of the European Union. Instagram provides a further general description of the information it obtains and how it is used in its Privacy Policy, which can be viewed at https://privacycenter.instagram.com/policy/?entry_point=ig_help_center_data_policy_redirect.
The ways in which Instagram uses the data resulting visits to Instagram pages for its own purposes, the extent to which activities on the Instagram page are attributed to individual users, the period for which Instagram stores this data and whether data resulting from a visit to the Instagram page is made available to third-parties are also set out in the above-mentioned Privacy Policy.
When your personal data is processed, you are a data subject as set out in GDPR and you possess the following rights vis-à-vis the controller:
You can find more information on these data subject rights in the Privacy Notice on our web site at https://www.mbo-osswald.cn/privacy/.
Because only Instagram has full access to the user data, we recommend that you contact Instagram directly if you wish to request information or have any other questions regarding your rights as a user (e.g. right to erasure). If you require any assistance to do this or have other questions, please contact us by e-mail at datenschutz@mbo-osswald.de or at the above address.

We have taken a variety of security measures to protect personal information appropriately and adequately.
Our databases are protected by physical and technical measures, as well as procedural measures that restrict access to the information to specially authorised persons in compliance with those data protection notices. Our information system is located behind a software firewall to prevent access from other networks that are connected to the internet. Only employees, who require the information to complete a special task, obtain access to personal information. Our staff are trained regarding security and data protection practices.
We use the standardised SSL encryption technology when collecting and transmitting data via our internet pages. Personal details are transmitted via SSL encryption during the ordering procedure, identifiable in the browser by the lock icon and in address line by the addition “https://”.
You should never give your password for the access to our websites to third parties and you should change this password regularly. In addition, you should not use the same password for accessing our websites that you also use on other websites for password-protected access (e-mail account, online banking etc.). When you have left our websites, you should actively log out and close your browser, in order to avoid authorised users gaining access to your user account.
When communicating by e-mail, we cannot guarantee full data security.
We use the services of the provider, CleverReach GmbH & Co. KG, Mühlenstraße 43, 26180 Rastede, Germany, for sending e-mail messages. The data named below is processed by CleverReach on our behalf and stored on the servers of CleverReach for this purpose. CleverReach uses the data for dispatching and analysing the newsletter. The data protection provisions of the service provider are available at https://www.cleverreach.com/en/privacy-policy/.
The following data from the entry mask is thereby transmitted when registering for the newsletter.
Legal basis for processing the data by our newsletter service provider after registering for the newsletter in the case of the existence of your consent is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR.
The collection of your e-mail address is used to send the newsletter.
The data is deleted as soon as it is no longer necessary for the purpose, for which it was collected. Your e-mail address is, therefore, stored for as long as the subscription of the newsletter is active.
You can cancel the subscription of the newsletter at any time. A corresponding link can be found for this purpose in every newsletter.
A revocation of the consent to store personal data collected during the registration process is also made possible here.
An evaluation of the opening rate of the e-mails and a click evaluation within the newsletter are also carried out by CleverReach. We use this technique to determine the degree of interest in specific topic and to measure the effectiveness of our communication measures. Our legitimate interest according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR also lies here. This data is segmented and stored in an anonymised manner. We do not exchange this data with anyone and we make no attempt to associate "click-throughs" with individual e-mail addresses. The individual user data is deleted after the compiling of the anonymised total evaluation - after 3 months at the latest.
The newsletters dispatched by CleverReach contain a tracking pixel that sends information to CleverReach as soon as you open the newsletter. In doing so, the following information is collected:
The legal basis for the processing of personal data by the service provider CleverReach for analysis purposes is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.
The use of tracking software is carried out to improve the quality of our newsletter system and its contents. Through the tracking software we discover how the newsletters are used and can thus constantly optimise our offer.
Our legitimate interest in data processing according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR also lies in these purposes.
We use so-called cookies on our websites. Cookies are small amounts of data in the form of text information that the web server sends to your browser. These are only stored on your hard disk. Cookies can only be read by the server that previously stored them there and provides information about what you have looked at on a website and when. Cookies themselves only identify the IP address of your computer and do not store any personal information, such as your name. The data stored in the cookies is not linked to your personal details (name, address, etc.).
We use cookies in order to make our website more user-friendly. Some elements of our website make it necessary to be able to identify the accessing browser even after a page change.
The following data is therefore stored and transmitted in the cookies:
The details relating to you in this manner are pseudonymised by technical means. An allocation of data to the accessing user is therefore no longer possible. The data is not stored together with any other personal data relating to you.
It is up to you to decide whether you allow cookies. On the one hand, you have the option of accepting all cookies, of being informed when cookies are set or refusing all cookies by changing your browser settings (usually to be found under “Option” or “Settings” in the browser’s menu. On the other hand, you are free to decide via the banner that is shown the first time you visit our websites and which refers to those privacy notices, whether you wish to give your consent for cookies to be set or refuse this.
The legal basis for the processing of personal data using the cookies technically needed for this is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.
The objective of using technically necessary cookies is to simplify the use of websites for you. Some functions of our website cannot be offered without the use of cookies. It is necessary for these that the browser is also identified after a page change.
The user data collected by technically necessary cookies are not used for creating user profiles.
Our legitimate interest in data processing according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR also lies in these purposes.
Cookies are stored on your computer and transmitted by this to our page. In this way, you still have the full control over the use of cookies as the user. You can deactivate or limit the transmission of cookies by changing the settings in your internet browser. Cookies already stored can be deleted at any time. This can even be done automatically. If cookies are deactivated for our website, it is possible that all the functions of the website may not be used to their full extent.
Some of our services also use so-called tracking bugs or tracking pixels as well. These are mostly only 1x1 pixel measuring code snippets that are able to identify and to recognise the type of your browser via the browser ID – the individual fingerprint of our browser. The service provider can therefore see when and how many users have accessed the pixel, or whether and when an e-mail was opened or a website was visited.
You can prevent the data recording by these tracking bugs, by either opening your e-mails offline or by stopping the loading of external graphics in your e-mail programme.
If personal data relating to you is processed, you are a data subject as defined in the GDPR and you are entitled to the following rights against the controller:
You have the right at any time to obtain information free of charge about any personal data we have stored about you, about the origin and recipient as well as the purpose of data processing via our websites. In addition, you have the right to rectification, erasure and restriction of the processing of your personal data, where the statutory provisions exist.
Right to data portability
You have the right to receive the personal data relating to you that you have made available to us as controller in a structured, commonly used and machine readable format. We can meet this right by providing a csv-export of the customer data processed relating to you.
If you have asserted your right to rectification, erasure or restriction of processing to the controller, this is obliged to inform all recipients, to whom the personal data relating to you was disclosed, about this rectification or erasure of the data or the restriction of processing, unless this proves to be impossible or involves an unreasonable expense or effort.
You have the right vis-à-vis the controller to be informed of these recipients.
You have the right, for reasons that result from your particular situation, to object at any time to the processing of personal data relating to you that is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. e or lit. f GDPR.
The controller no longer processes the personal data relating to you, unless he can prove compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that override your interests, rights and liberties, or the processing serves the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims.
If the personal data relating to you is processed in order to operate direct advertising, you have the right to object to the processing of the personal data relating to you for the purpose of such advertising at any time, this also includes profiling, where this is associated with such direct advertising.
If you object to the processing for direct advertising purposes, the personal data relating to you will no longer be processed for these purposes.
In addition, you may revoke the consents that you have given us with effect to the future at any time at the contact details stated below.
Without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular, in the member state of your place of residence, your place of work or the place of alleged infringement, if you consider that the processing of the personal data relating to you infringes the EU general data protection regulation.
The supervisory authority, with which the complaint has been lodged, informs the complainant on the progress and the outcome of the complaint, including the possibility of a judicial remedy pursuant to Art. 78 GDPR.
