  • Operating system used
  • Browser used

This data is not merged with other data sources. The collection of this data is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR.

b) Contact form

If you send us inquiries via the contact form, your details from the inquiry form, including the contact details you provided there, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the inquiry and in case of follow-up questions. We will not pass on this data without your consent.

This data is processed on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR, provided that your request is related to the performance of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. Data protection information for business partners and interested parties of the management holding company is available here.

In all other cases, processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective handling of inquiries addressed to us (Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR) if this has been requested; consent can be revoked at any time.

The data you enter in the contact form will remain with us until you request us to delete it, revoke your consent to its storage, or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g., after your request has been processed). Mandatory legal provisions — in particular retention periods — remain unaffected.

e) Cookies

Our websites use so-called “cookies.” Cookies are small data packets and do not cause any damage to your device. They are either stored temporarily for the duration of a session (session cookies) or permanently (permanent cookies) on your device. Session cookies are automatically deleted at the end of your visit. Permanent cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them yourself or your web browser automatically deletes them. Cookies may originate from us (first-party cookies) or from third-party companies (so-called third-party cookies). Third-party cookies enable the integration of certain services from third-party companies within websites (e.g., cookies for processing payment services). Cookies have various functions. Many cookies are technically necessary, as certain website functions would not work without them (e.g., displaying stock prices). Other cookies can be used to evaluate user behavior or for advertising purposes. Cookies that are necessary for carrying out the electronic communication process, for providing certain functions you have requested (e.g., the shopping cart function), or for optimizing the website (necessary cookies), are stored on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR, unless another legal basis is specified. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the storage of necessary cookies for the technically error-free and optimized provision of its services. If consent to the storage of cookies and comparable recognition technologies has been requested, processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of this consent (Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR and § 25 (1) TDDDG); consent may be revoked at any time. You can set your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies and only allow cookies in individual cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general, and activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. If you deactivate cookies, the functionality of this website may be restricted. You can revoke your cookie consent for this website at any time and adjust your cookie settings: Cookie consent / Cookie settings

Storage period

Unless a more specific storage period is specified in this privacy policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for data processing no longer applies. If you assert a legitimate request for deletion or revoke your consent to data processing, your data will be deleted unless we have other legally permissible reasons for storing your personal data (e.g., retention periods under tax or commercial law); in the latter case, deletion will take place once these reasons no longer apply.

General information on the legal basis for data processing on this website

If you have consented to data processing, we process your personal data on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR or Art. 9 (2) (a) GDPR, if special categories of data are processed in accordance with Art. 9 (1) GDPR. In the event of express consent to the transfer of personal data to third countries, data processing is also carried out on the basis of Art. 49 (1) (a) GDPR.

If you have consented to the storage of cookies or access to information on your end device (e.g., via device fingerprinting), data processing will also be carried out on the basis of Section 25 (1) TDDDG. Consent can be revoked at any time.

If your data is necessary for the performance of a contract or for the implementation of pre-contractual measures, we process your data on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR.

Furthermore, we process your data if this is necessary to fulfill a legal obligation on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (c) GDPR.

Data processing may also be carried out on the basis of our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. The relevant legal basis in each individual case is explained in the following paragraphs of this privacy policy.

Recipients of personal data

We only disclose personal data to external parties if this is necessary for the performance of a contract, if we are legally obliged to do so (e.g., disclosure of data to law enforcement authorities), if we have a legitimate interest in the disclosure pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR, or if another legal basis permits the disclosure of data.

When using processors, we only disclose our customers’ personal data on the basis of a valid data processing agreement. In the case of joint processing, a joint processing agreement is concluded.

Your rights as a data subject under the GDPR

a) Revocation of your consent to data processing
Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You can revoke any consent you have already given at any time. The legality of the data processing carried out until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

b) Right to object to data collection in specific cases and to direct marketing (Art. 21 GDPR)
IF DATA PROCESSING IS BASED ON ART. 6 (1) (E) OR (F) OF THE GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT AT ANY TIME, ON GROUNDS RELATING TO YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION, TO OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING BASED ON THESE PROVISIONS. THE RESPECTIVE LEGAL BASIS ON WHICH PROCESSING IS BASED CAN BE FOUND IN THIS PRIVACY POLICY. IF YOU OBJECT, WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR PERSONAL DATA UNLESS WE CAN DEMONSTRATE COMPELLING LEGITIMATE GROUNDS FOR THE PROCESSING WHICH OVERRIDE YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS, OR THE PROCESSING SERVES TO ASSERT, EXERCISE, OR DEFEND LEGAL CLAIMS (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21 (1) GDPR).

IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA IS PROCESSED FOR THE PURPOSE OF DIRECT MARKETING, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME TO THE PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA CONCERNING YOU FOR THE PURPOSE OF SUCH MARKETING; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING TO THE EXTENT THAT IT IS RELATED TO SUCH DIRECT MARKETING. IF YOU OBJECT, YOUR PERSONAL DATA WILL SUBSEQUENTLY NO LONGER BE USED FOR THE PURPOSE OF DIRECT MARKETING (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21 (2) GDPR).

c) Right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority
In the event of violations of the GDPR, data subjects have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of their habitual residence, place of work, or place of the alleged violation. The right to lodge a complaint exists without prejudice to other administrative or judicial remedies.

d) Right to data portability
You have the right to receive data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfillment of a contract, either to yourself or to a third party, in a commonly used, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only be carried out where technically feasible.

e) Information, correction, and deletion
Within the framework of the applicable legal provisions, you have the right to obtain information free of charge at any time about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients, and the purpose of data processing, and, if applicable, a right to correct or delete this data. You can contact us at any time with any questions you may have on this topic or on the subject of personal data.

f) Right to restriction of processing
You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. You can contact us at any time to do so. The right to restriction of processing applies in the following cases:

  • If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we will usually need time to verify this. For the duration of the verification, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
  • If the processing of your personal data was/is unlawful, you can request the restriction of data processing instead of deletion.
  • If we no longer need your personal data, but you require it to exercise, defend, or assert legal claims, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of deletion.>
  • If you have lodged an objection pursuant to Art. 21 (1) GDPR, a balancing of your interests and ours must be carried out. As long as it has not yet been determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.

If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, these data – apart from their storage – may only be processed with your consent or for the assertion, exercise, or defense of legal claims, or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person, or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or of a Member State.

SSL or TLS encryption

This site uses SSL or TLS encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or inquiries that you send to us as the site operator. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock symbol in your browser line.

When SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

Consent to cookies / Cookie settings

Our website uses its own consent technology to obtain your consent for the storage of certain cookies on your device or for the use of certain technologies, and to document this in compliance with data protection requirements.

Consent technology stores a cookie in your browser in order to be able to assign the consents you have given or their revocation. The data collected in this way is stored until you request us to delete it, delete the consent manager provider cookie yourself, or the purpose for data storage no longer applies.

The consent tool is used to obtain the legally required consent for the use of cookies. The legal basis for this is Art. 6 (1) (c) GDPR.

Newsletter

Newsletter data

If you would like to subscribe to the newsletter offered on the website, we require your email address and information that allows us to verify that you are the owner of the email address provided and that you agree to receive the newsletter. No further data is collected, or only on a voluntary basis. We use this data exclusively for sending the requested information and do not pass it on to third parties.

The data entered in the newsletter registration form is processed exclusively on the basis of your consent (Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR). You can revoke your consent to the storage of data, your email address, and its use for sending the newsletter at any time, for example via the “unsubscribe” link in the newsletter. The legality of the data processing operations already carried out remains unaffected by the revocation.

The data you provide to us for the purpose of receiving the newsletter will be stored by us or the newsletter service provider until you unsubscribe from the newsletter and will be deleted from the newsletter distribution list after you unsubscribe from the newsletter or after the purpose ceases to exist. We reserve the right to delete or block email addresses from our newsletter distribution list at our own discretion within the scope of our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR.

Data stored by us for other purposes remains unaffected by this.

After you have unsubscribed from the newsletter distribution list, your email address may be stored in a blacklist with us or with the newsletter service provider, insofar as this is necessary to prevent future mailings. The data in the blacklist will only be used for this purpose and will not be merged with other data. This serves both your interest and our interest in complying with the legal requirements for sending newsletters (legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR). Storage in the blacklist is not limited in time. You may object to the storage of your data if your interests outweigh our legitimate interests.

Newsletter distribution to existing customers

If you order goods or services from us and provide your email address, we may subsequently use this email address to send you newsletters, provided that we inform you of this in advance. In such a case, the newsletter will only be used to send direct advertising for our own similar goods or services. You can unsubscribe from this newsletter at any time. For this purpose, there is a corresponding link in every newsletter. The legal basis for sending the newsletter in this case is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR in conjunction with § 7 (3) UWG.

After you unsubscribe from the newsletter distribution list, your email address may be stored in a blacklist to prevent future mailings to you. The data from the blacklist is used only for this purpose and is not merged with other data. This serves both your interests and our interests in complying with legal requirements when sending newsletters (legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR). There is no time limit for storage in the blacklist. You can object to the storage if your interests outweigh our legitimate interest.

This website links to videos on the YouTube website. The operator of the website is Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

Instead, however, so-called local storage elements are stored in the user's browser, which, similar to cookies, contain personal data and can be used for recognition purposes. Details on extended data protection mode can be found here: https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/171780.

Further links

Our website contains links to other websites, for example those of business partners. These links have been checked by us with reasonable care. However, Salzgitter AG is not responsible for the content or the protection of data privacy on the websites we link to.

Comment function on the career blog

You may comment on posts using the comment function. The use of this comment function requires the entry of a name, although you may also choose a pseudonym. In addition, an email address must be provided. The provision of an email address is necessary so that we can forward to you any complaints about your comments on the blog and request a statement from you. Use of the comment function is not possible without this information. When your comment is published, the email address you provide will be stored but not published. Furthermore, your IP address will be stored. Your name will only be published if you have not written under a pseudonym. Comments are not reviewed prior to publication. We reserve the right to delete comments if they are objected to by third parties as unlawful.

Share buttons on the career blog

We use social media plugins (“social buttons”) on our website, e.g., from services such as X (formerly Twitter), Facebook, Xing, LinkedIn, or other social networks. To ensure the protection of your personal data when using our website, we use the privacy-friendly “Shariff” solution.

Shariff technology allows social media buttons to be integrated into a website in such a way that a direct connection between your browser and the social network servers is only established when you actively click on the respective button.

This means that no personal data will be transmitted to the social networks as long as you do not click on a button. Only by actively clicking do you consent to communication with the respective platform. In this case, the privacy policies of the respective provider apply.

The legal basis for processing your data after clicking is Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR (consent). Our legitimate interest in the data protection-compliant presentation of social media content on our website is based on Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR.

Further information on Shariff can be found at https://www.heise.de/hintergrund/Shariff-Social-Media-Buttons-mit-Datenschutz-2467514.html.
