This collected data does not contain any personal reference or is sufficiently anonymized so that it cannot be traced back to you personally.

Access data/Server-Logfiles

The provider of the pages automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. The access data includes:

• Name of the retrieved website
• Date and time of the retrieval
• Volume of data transferred
• Message about successful retrieval

An exception to this are informations which the user transmits voluntarily to Gigatherm AG by filling out website forms or by contacting Gigatherm AG in another way via the website.

Handling personal data

Personal data are informations which help to determine a person, so details which can be traced back to a person. This includes the name, email address or phone number. But also data about preferences, hobbies, memberships or which websites were viewed by someone count as personal data.

Protection with personal data

We have taken technical and organizational security measures to protect your personal data from loss, destruction, manipulation and unauthorized access. Our security measures are continuously revised and optimized in line with technological developments.

When you use a service on our website, your personal data is transmitted to us. To prevent these from falling into the wrong hands, we encrypt them using the SSL (Secure Socket Layer) process. The SSL procedure is currently the most common and most secure data transmission procedure on the Internet.

How does the SSL process work?

The SSL (Secure Socket Layer) process protects data that a customer sends over the Internet to a company’s server.

SSL provides a triple protection:

• Your input to be transmitted is encrypted.
• It is ensured that the form is returned only to the server from which it was opened.
• A check is made to ensure that the data reaches its respective recipient complete and unchanged.

SSL comes into play whenever you see a small (usually green) lock in the top left corner of your browser’s address bar.
