Privacy Policy

Data protection declaration

We are very pleased about your interest in our company. Data protection is of particular importance to the management of Walton Industrial Containers Limited. It is possible to use the internet pages of Walton Industrial Containers Limited without providing any personal data. However, if a person concerned wishes to use special services of our company via our website, it may be necessary to process personal data. If the processing of personal data is necessary and there is no legal basis for such processing, we generally obtain the consent of the person concerned.

1. definitions

The privacy policy of Walton Industrial Containers Limited is based on the terminology used by the European Directive and Regulation Giver when the Basic Data Protection Regulation (DS-GVO) was adopted. Our Privacy Policy is intended to be easy to read and understand by the public as well as by our customers and business partners. In order to ensure this, we would like to explain the terms used in advance.

In this privacy policy we use the following terms, among others:

  • a) personal data

    Personal data means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (hereinafter referred to as “data subject”). An identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, a location data, an on-line identifier, or one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person.

    Personal data is defined as any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person, hereinafter referred to as “data subject”.

  • b) person concerned

    Person concerned is any identified or identifiable natural person whose personal data are processed by the controller.

  • c) Processing

  • d) Restriction of processing

  • e) Profiling

    Profiling is any automated processing of personal data consisting in the use of such personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to analyse or predict aspects relating to the performance of work, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, conduct, whereabouts or movements of that natural person.

  • f) Pseudonymisation

    Pseudonymisation is the processing of personal data in such a way that the personal data can no longer be attributed to a specific data subject without the need for additional information, provided that this additional information is kept separately and is subject to technical and organisational measures which ensure that the personal data is not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.

  • g) Controller or data controller

    responsible person or controller is the natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which alone or jointly with others determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data. Where the purposes and means of such processing are determined by Union law or by the law of the Member States, the controller or the specific criteria for his or her designation may be laid down by Union law or by the law of the Member States.

  • h) Job processor

  • i) receiver

    Recipient is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body to whom personal data are disclosed, whether or not it is a third party. However, authorities which may receive personal data in the course of a specific investigation, in accordance with Union law or the law of the Member States, shall not be considered as recipients.

    .

  • j) Third party

    Third party is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or body other than the data subject, the controller, the processor and the persons who, under the direct authority of the controller or the processor, are authorized to process the personal data.

  • k) Consent

2. name and address of the controller

The person responsible within the meaning of the basic data protection regulation, other data protection laws applicable in the member states of the European Union and other provisions of a data protection nature is:

3. cookies

The internet pages of Walton Industrial Containers Limited use cookies. Cookies are text files which are placed and stored on a computer system via an internet browser.

.

Many websites and servers use cookies. Many cookies contain a so-called cookie ID. A cookie ID is a unique identifier for the cookie. It consists of a string of characters which can be used to assign internet pages and servers to the specific internet browser in which the cookie was stored. This enables the Internet pages and servers visited to distinguish the individual browser of the person concerned from other Internet browsers that contain other cookies. A specific Internet browser can be recognised and identified by means of the unique cookie ID.

.

By using cookies, Walton Industrial Containers Limited can provide users of this website with more user-friendly services that would not be possible without the setting of cookies.

By means of a cookie, the information and offers on our website can be optimised in the interest of the user. As already mentioned, cookies enable us to recognise the users of our website. The purpose of this recognition is to make it easier for users to use our website. For example, the user of a website that uses cookies does not have to enter his or her access data each time he or she visits the website, as this is done by the website and the cookie stored on the user’s computer system. Another example is the cookie of a shopping basket in the online shop. The online shop remembers the articles that a customer has placed in the virtual shopping cart via a cookie.

.

The person concerned can prevent the setting of cookies by our website at any time by means of a corresponding setting of the Internet browser used and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Furthermore, cookies that have already been set can be deleted at any time via an Internet browser or other software programs. This is possible in all common internet browsers. If the person concerned deactivates the setting of cookies in the Internet browser used, it is possible that not all functions of our website can be used to their full extent.

4. collection of general data and information

When using this general data and information Walton Industrial Containers Limited will not draw any conclusions about the person concerned. This information is required to (1) deliver the content of our website correctly, (2) optimise the content of our website and the advertising for it, (3) ensure the permanent functioning of our information technology systems and the technology of our website and (4) to provide law enforcement agencies with the information necessary for prosecution in case of a cyber attack. These anonymously collected data and information are therefore statistically evaluated by Walton Industrial Containers Limited on the one hand and also with the aim of increasing data protection and data security in our company, in order to ultimately ensure an optimum level of protection for the personal data processed by us. The anonymous data in the server log files are stored separately from all personal data provided by a data subject.

.

5. registration on our website

The data subject has the possibility to register on the website of the controller by providing personal data. The personal data transmitted to the data controller is specified in the registration form. The personal data entered by the data subject are collected and stored solely for internal use by the data controller and for his own purposes. The controller may arrange for the personal data to be disclosed to one or more processors, such as a parcel service provider, who will also use the personal data exclusively for internal use attributable to the controller.

.

By registering on the website of the data controller, the IP address assigned to the data subject by the Internet Service Provider (ISP), the date and time of registration are also saved. The storage of this data is done against the background that only in this way can the misuse of our services be prevented and, if necessary, these data make it possible to clarify criminal offences that have been committed. In this respect, the storage of this data is necessary to protect the person responsible for processing. As a matter of principle, this data will not be passed on to third parties, unless there is a legal obligation to do so or the passing on of such data serves the purpose of criminal prosecution.

The data controller shall at any time upon request provide any data subject with information as to which personal data relating to the data subject are stored. Furthermore, the data controller shall correct or delete personal data at the request or notification of the data subject, unless otherwise required by law. The entire staff of the data controller is available to the data subject as contact persons in this context.

6th subscription to our newsletter

The Walton Industrial Containers Limited website gives users the opportunity to subscribe to our company newsletter. The personal data that will be transmitted to the data controller when subscribing to the newsletter can be seen from the input mask used for this purpose.

.

When registering for the newsletter, we also save the IP address assigned by the Internet service provider (ISP) of the computer system used by the person concerned at the time of registration as well as the date and time of registration. The collection of this data is necessary in order to be able to trace the (possible) misuse of the e-mail address of a data subject at a later date and therefore serves to provide legal protection for the person responsible for processing.

.

The personal data collected during registration for the newsletter will be used exclusively for sending our newsletter. In addition, subscribers to the newsletter could be informed by e-mail if this is necessary for the operation of the newsletter service or for registration, as could be the case if there are changes to the newsletter offer or if technical conditions change. The personal data collected within the scope of the newsletter service will not be passed on to third parties. The subscription to our newsletter can be cancelled by the person concerned at any time. The consent to the storage of personal data, which the person concerned has given us for the newsletter service, can be revoked at any time. For the purpose of revoking this consent, a corresponding link is included in every newsletter. Furthermore, it is also possible to unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time directly on the website of the data controller or to inform the data controller in another way.

7. newsletter tracking

The newsletters of Walton Industrial Containers Limited contain so-called counting pixels. A tracking pixel is a miniature graphic embedded in such e-mails sent in HTML format to enable log file recording and log file analysis. This allows a statistical evaluation of the success or failure of online marketing campaigns. The embedded pixel-code enables Walton Industrial Containers Limited to identify if and when an e-mail was opened by a data subject and which links in the e-mail were accessed by the data subject.

8. contact possibility via the website

The website of Walton Industrial Container

8. contact possibility via the website

The website of Walton Industrial Containers Limited, due to legal requirements, contains information that enables rapid electronic contact with our company and direct communication with us, which also includes a general address for so-called electronic mail (e-mail address). If a data subject contacts the data controller by e-mail or by using a contact form, the personal data transmitted by the data subject will be automatically stored. Such personal data transmitted on a voluntary basis from a data subject to the data controller are stored for the purposes of processing or contacting the data subject. These personal data are not disclosed to third parties.

9. comment function in the blog on the website

Walton Industrial Containers Limited offers users the possibility to leave individual comments on individual blog posts on a blog located on the website of the data controller. A blog is a portal on a website, usually publicly accessible, where one or more persons, called bloggers or web-bloggers, can post articles or write down thoughts in so-called blog posts. The blog posts can usually be commented on by third parties.

If a data subject leaves a comment in the blog published on this website, in addition to the comments left by the data subject, information on the time when the comment was entered as well as the user name chosen by the data subject (pseudonym) are stored and published. Furthermore, the IP address assigned to the person concerned by the Internet Service Provider (ISP) is also logged. This storage of the IP address is done for security reasons and in the event that the person concerned violates the rights of third parties or posts illegal content through a comment submitted. The storage of this personal data is therefore in the own interest of the person responsible for processing, so that he/she can be exculpated if necessary in the event of an infringement of the law. The personal data collected will not be passed on to third parties, unless such a transfer is required by law or serves the legal defence of the person responsible for processing.

.

10. routine deletion and blocking of personal data

The controller processes and stores personal data of the data subject only for the time necessary to achieve the purpose for which it is stored or where provided for by the European Directives and Regulations or by any other law or regulation to which the controller is subject.

The controller shall process and store personal data of the data subject only for the time necessary to achieve the purpose for which it is stored or where provided for by the European Directives and Regulations or by any other law or regulation to which the controller is subject.

If the purpose of storage ceases to apply or if a storage period prescribed by the European Directive and Regulation Giver or any other competent legislator expires, the personal data will be blocked or deleted as a matter of routine and in accordance with the statutory provisions.

11. rights of the data subject

  • a) Right to confirmation

  • b) Right to information

    • the processing purposes
    • the categories of personal data processed if possible, the planned duration for which the personal data will be stored or, if this is not possible, the criteria for determining this duration
      • if the personal data is not collected from the data subject: All available information on the origin of the data

      Remotely, the data subject has the right to be informed whether personal data have been transferred to a third country or to an international organisation. If this is the case, the data subject also has the right to be informed of the appropriate safeguards in relation to the transfer.

      .

    • c) Right of rectification

      d) Right of cancellation (right to be forgotten)

    • The personal data has been collected or otherwise processed for purposes for which it is no longer necessary.

      • Personal data have been processed unlawfully.

    • The deletion of personal data is necessary to comply with a legal obligation under Union law or the law of the Member States to which the controller is subject.

    .

    The personal data has been made public by Walton Industrial Containers Limited and our company is the responsible party in accordance with art. 17, paragraph 1 DS Block Exemption Regulation, Walton Industrial Containers Limited shall take reasonable measures, including technical measures, taking into account available technology and implementation costs, to inform other data controllers who process the published personal data that the data subject has requested that these other data controllers delete all links to this personal data or make copies or replications of this personal data unless processing is necessary. The employee of Walton Industrial Containers Limited will make the necessary arrangements in each individual case.

  • e) Right to restrict processing

    .

    • The accuracy of the personal data is contested by the data subject, for a period of time that allows the person responsible to verify the accuracy of the personal data.
    • The processing is unlawful, the data subject refuses to have his personal data deleted and instead requests that the use of his personal data be restricted.
    • The controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of the processing, but the data subject needs them in order to exercise or defend his/her rights.
    • The data subject has lodged an objection to the processing in accordance with Art. 21 (1) of the DPA and it is not yet clear whether the legitimate reasons of the controller outweigh those of the data subject.

  • f) Right to data transferability

    .

    furthermore, in exercising their right to data transferability in accordance with Art. 20 Paragraph 1 of the DS-GVO, the data subject has the right to obtain that personal data be transferred directly from one person responsible to another, insofar as this is technically feasible and provided that this does not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of other persons.

    To exercise the right to transfer data, the data subject may at any time contact an employee of Walton Industrial Containers Limited.

  • g) Right of appeal

    To exercise the right to object, the data subject may contact directly any employee of Walton Industrial Containers Limited or any other employee. The data subject is also free to exercise his right of objection in connection with the use of information society services, notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC, by means of automated procedures involving technical specifications.

    .

  • h) Automated decisions in individual cases including profiling

  • i) Right of revocation of a data protection consent

    If the data subject wishes to exercise his/her right to withdraw his/her consent, he/she may at any time contact an employee of the controller.

12 Legal basis of the processing

Art. 6 I lit. a DS-GVO serves our company as a legal basis for processing operations for which we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose. If the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, as is the case, for example, with processing operations necessary for the delivery of goods or the provision of another service or consideration, the processing is based on Art. 6 I lit. b DS-GVO. The same applies to such processing operations which are necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures, for example in cases of enquiries about our products or services. If our company is subject to a legal obligation which makes it necessary to process personal data, for example to fulfil tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6 I lit. c DS-GVO. In rare cases, the processing of personal data may be necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor to our company were to be injured and his or her name, age, health insurance details or other vital information had to be disclosed to a doctor, hospital or other third party. In this case the processing would be based on Art. 6 I lit. d DS-GVO.
Finally, processing operations could be based on Art. 6 I lit. f DS-GVO. Processing operations which are not covered by any of the above legal bases are based on this legal basis if the processing is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest of our company or of a third party, provided that the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not prevail. We are permitted to carry out such processing operations in particular because they have been specifically mentioned by the European legislator. In this respect, it took the view that a legitimate interest could be assumed if the data subject is a customer of the person responsible (Recital 47 Sentence 2 DS-GVO).

13. legitimate interests in the processing pursued by the controller or a third party

If the processing of personal data is based on Article 6 I lit. f of the DS-GVO, our legitimate interest is to carry out our business activities for the benefit of the well-being of all our employees and our shareholders.

14. duration for which the personal data are stored

The criterion for the duration of the storage of personal data is the respective legal retention period. After expiry of this period, the corresponding data is routinely deleted, provided that it is no longer required for the fulfilment of the contract or the initiation of a contract.

.

We would like to inform you that the provision of personal data is partly required by law (e.g. tax regulations) or can also result from contractual regulations (e.g. details of the contractual partner).
Sometimes it may be necessary for a contract to be concluded that a person concerned provides us with personal data, which must subsequently be processed by us. For example, the person concerned is obliged to provide us with personal data if our company concludes a contract with him/her. Failure to provide the personal data would mean that the contract with the person concerned could not be concluded.
Before the person concerned makes personal data available, the person concerned must contact one of our employees. Our employee will inform the data subject on a case-by-case basis whether the provision of the personal data is required by law or contract or is necessary for the conclusion of the contract, whether there is an obligation to provide the personal data and what the consequences would be if the personal data were not provided.
