III. Data protection information for customers and interested parties of BBT – Materials Processing

1 Scope of data processing and designated uses

a) Contract performance

BBT – Materials Processing processes the data that we receive from you as part of your inquiries or existing contractual relationships. In addition to your business contact details, this comprises all information that is exchanged, such as e-mails, orders, requests for our products, and payment details. If you have business relationships with us, you must provide the personal data that is necessary for the preparation or performance of the contracts or that we are legally required to process; otherwise we cannot fulfil the contracts.

BBT – Materials Processing processes the data provided during order placement for use in fulfilment of the contract and may employ specialized and monitored service providers for this purpose. Processing of the data for the purpose of contract fulfilment comprises using the data to render the service stipulated by the contract, including rendering of services defined in service agreements or handling of any warranty claims. In addition, if a request for financing is made, the data required for generating a quotation may be used by BBT – Materials Processing and, if necessary, passed on to contractual partners. Further details regarding the purposes of use can be found in the relevant contractual documents.

Data collected by BBT – Materials Processing regarding the purchase of our products or use of our services may also be passed on to the external auditors and/or tax consultants of BBT – Materials Processing for consulting and auditing purposes. BBT – Materials Processing saves the data collected for fulfilment of the contract in its operative system as long as warranty claims, or other purposes of use laid out in this declaration still apply. All other data is deleted immediately, unless this declaration specifies other designated uses for this data.

b) Verifying your address and credit rating

To verify your address and credit rating, BBT – Materials Processing accesses databases from external agencies to collect address details and credit data about your company, including data that was calculated using statistical methods (scoring). This is done as long as BBT – Materials Processing is undertaking a commercial risk in concluding the contract and seeks to safeguard itself through this credit check. This information is used by BBT – Materials Processing to grant trade credit for goods or services.

c) Use of data by BBT – Materials Processing for advertising purposes

BBT – Materials Processing and engaged service providers (printing companies, letter shops, etc.) use your name and address as a contact person in ongoing business relationships or of interested persons for additional measures for entering into and activating business partnerships. This includes the sending of advertising by post in relation to interesting products and services, so that potential customers and business partners can become aware of products which may be of interest and in order to form a long-term business relationship. BBT – Materials Processing uses your telephone number for promotional purposes only if you have given your consent or if consent can be reasonably presumed – for example, within an existing business relationship or after previous contact. BBT – Materials Processing also uses your e-mail address which was obtained from the contact persons during the conclusion of contracts in order to advertise similar products and services. In all other cases, we only use your e-mail address for advertising purposes with your separate consent. Of course, you have the right to refuse these promotional contacts. We notify you of your right to object to advertising in each separate case.

Furthermore, BBT – Materials Processing processes the data which is obtained in the course of the business relationship (contact data, products purchased, services ordered, etc.) and data which is acquired when using services (use of data when accessing the website and your voluntary information which you provide when using the site) in order to provide you with offers which are tailored to your interests. By means of the above, we use the data which is collected over the course of the business relationship and the data which is obtained when using services in order to inform you of offers, information and current developments in relation to our products and services which may be of interest. Thereby BBT – Materials Processing provides further information concerning products and services of the BBT – Materials Processing. By means of this data processing, we can showcase the products and services which we think may be of interest to you by means of personalized offers (website, e-mail or postal advertising). As a rule, your data is saved in the EU for advertising purposes. Should data be transferred to servers in the US and saved there for advertising purposes, we use engaged and monitored service providers who have agreed to guarantee the reasonableness of the level of data protection under the EU-US Privacy Shield ( https://www.privacyshield.gov/EU-US-Framework) or the standard contractual clauses of the EU Commission were agreed with these.   

To achieve the goals associated with this promotional usage, we process your data over the service lives of our products and as long as you remain a customer. Exceptions are made if you consent to a longer period of usage and/or if the data is subject to statutory retention obligations. In the latter case, the data is deleted after the retention period has elapsed. The processing period may be shorter if you exercise your right to object, of which we inform you in Section V.

d) Processing of personal data based on legal obligations

BBT – Materials Processing, like every other company in Europe, is subject to various legal obligations to verify the data of our customers and business partners. In such cases, we process your personal data only to the extent legally required. To fulfil these legal obligations, it may be necessary to process some of your data automatically in order to evaluate personal aspects (profiling). Unless you are expressly notified, automated individual decision-making is conducted. The legal basis for this processing is Article 6(1)(1)(c) GDPR in conjunction with the applicable statutory provisions.

These statutory provisions relate to, in particular:

• Prevention of fraud and money laundering
• Tax auditing and reporting requirements
• Evaluation and management of risks in the Group
• Sanctions lists.

2 Forwarding of data within BBT – Materials Processing

BBT – Materials Processing may pass on your master data (company name, contact persons, address and contact details such as telephone number and e-mail address) to other companies within the Company and possibly update it to ensure that all BBT – Materials Processing subsidiaries involved with you in a transaction (e.g. fulfilling a contract) have the same master data. This is intended to simplify our processes and may help you avoid having to provide the master data again when contacting another company within the Group. Your rights are safeguarded by internal contractual policies that ensure a high standard of data protection.

In addition to master data, order data may be passed on to other BBT – Materials Processing subsidiaries if necessary, for your order. For example, different BBT – Materials Processing products are manufactured by different BBT – Materials Processing subsidiaries, so data may need to be transferred to simplify order processing and delivery. In such cases, you will be informed of this transfer upon conclusion of the contract.

If your company is based outside Czech Republic, a BBT – Materials Processing subsidiary associated with us will be responsible for managing and processing your contracts or inquires. Therefore, if you wish to receive contract offers or additional information about BBT – Materials Processing and our products, the personal information we have stored for you (in particular: name, contact details, associated company, products in which you are interested) must be transferred to the BBT – Materials Processing subsidiary that is responsible for your company’s location. This international representative of ours will use your personal data unless you object to the dissemination or saving of your data in these subsidiaries.

This may result in your master data being processed in BBT – Materials Processing subsidiaries outside the European Union (EU) or Economic Area (EEA). In cases where the EU Commission has not specified an appropriate level of data protection, we have made contractual commitments; generally, we have concluded the EU standard contractual clauses. You can find a list of the companies belonging to the Group here. This data is subject to the same deletion policies described above.

IV. Your rights as the data subject
As a data subject, you have various rights. The relevant chapters in the text of this data protection declaration describe the solution most suited to you for exercising your rights.

Every data subject is entitled to the following rights:

• Right of access
• Right to rectification of incorrect data
• Right to erasure
• Right to restriction of processing of personal data
• Right to data portability
• Right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority

You can object to the processing of personal data for promotional purposes – including the analysis of customer data – or the dissemination to third parties for promotional purposes at any time without providing a reason.

Furthermore, every data subject is entitled to a general right to object. In this case, the objection to data processing must be justified. If the data is processed with your consent, you may revoke this consent at any time with immediate future effect. Revoking your consent does not affect the legality of the data processing that occurred with your consent until the time of revocation.
