Data Protection
The operators of these pages take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with the applicable data protection regulations and this privacy policy.
When you use this website, various personal data is collected. Personal data is data that can be used to personally identify you. This privacy policy explains what data we collect and what we use it for. It also explains how and for what purpose this is done.
Please note that data transmission over the Internet (e.g. when communicating by email) may be subject to security vulnerabilities. Complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.
Information on the Controller
The controller responsible for data processing on this website is:
Limtronik GmbH

65549 Limburg
E-Mail: info(at)limtronik.de
The controller is the natural or legal person who, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of processing personal data (e.g. names, email addresses, etc.).
Withdrawal of Your Consent to Data Processing
Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You may withdraw any consent you have already given at any time. An informal notification by email (Info(at)limtronik.de) is sufficient. The lawfulness of data processing carried out prior to the withdrawal of consent remains unaffected by the withdrawal.
Right to Lodge a Complaint with the Competent Supervisory Authority
In the event of data protection violations, the data subject has the right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority. The competent supervisory authority for data protection matters is the State Data Protection Commissioner of the federal state in which our company is based.

Right to Data Portability
You have the right to have data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfillment of a contract provided to you 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.
SSL/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 website operator, this website uses SSL/TLS encryption. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the browser's address bar changes from "http://" to "https://" and by the padlock symbol displayed in your browser's address bar.
When SSL/TLS encryption is enabled, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

Within the scope of the applicable statutory provisions, you have the right at any time to obtain free information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients, and the purpose of data processing, and, where applicable, the right to have this data corrected, blocked, or deleted.

4. Data Collection on our website
Cookies
Our websites use so-called cookies in some cases. Cookies do not cause any damage to your computer and do not contain viruses. Cookies help make our services more user-friendly, effective, and secure. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer and saved by your browser.
Most of the cookies we use are so-called “session cookies.” They are automatically deleted at the end of your visit. Other cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them. These cookies enable us to recognize your browser the next time you visit our website.
You can configure your browser to notify you when cookies are being set and to allow cookies only on a case-by-case basis, to accept cookies in certain cases or generally exclude them, and to activate the automatic deletion of cookies when you close your browser. Disabling cookies may limit the functionality of this website.
Cookies that are necessary to carry out the electronic communication process or to provide certain functions requested by you (e.g. shopping cart functionality) are stored on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing cookies to ensure the technically error-free and optimized provision of its services. If other cookies (e.g. cookies for analyzing your browsing behavior) are stored, these will be addressed separately in this privacy policy.
Server Log Files
The provider of the website automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. This information includes:
- Browser type and browser version
- Operating system used
- Referrer URL
- Hostname of the accessing computer
- Time of the server request
- IP address
This data is not combined with data from other sources.
The legal basis for data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR, which permits the processing of data for the performance of a contract or for the implementation of pre-contractual measures.
Contact Form
If you send us inquiries via the contact form, the information you provide in the inquiry form, including the contact details you provide there, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing your inquiry and in case of any follow-up questions. We will not pass this data on to third parties without your consent.
The processing of the data entered into the contact form is therefore based exclusively on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). You may withdraw this consent at any time. An informal notification by email (Info(at)limtronik.de) is sufficient. The lawfulness of data processing carried out prior to the withdrawal remains unaffected by the withdrawal.
The data you enter in the contact form will remain with us until you request its deletion, withdraw your consent to its storage, or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies (e.g. after your inquiry has been fully processed). Mandatory statutory provisions – in particular statutory retention periods – remain unaffected.
Job Applications
We are pleased that you are interested in our company. Your personal data will be processed in accordance with the provisions of the GDPR insofar as this is necessary for deciding whether to establish an employment relationship with our company.
The legal basis for this is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR, insofar as a potential contractual relationship is established or is in the process of being established.
We may also continue to process your personal data insofar as this is necessary to comply with legal obligations (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR) or to defend against legal claims asserted against us pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit.f GDPR. An example of this is the obligation to provide evidence in potential proceedings under the German General Equal Treatment Act (Allgemeines Gleichbehandlungsgesetz – AGG).
If you expressly give us your consent to process your personal data for specific purposes, the lawfulness of such processing is based on your consent pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit a GDPR. You may withdraw the consent you have given at any time with effect for the future.
If we enter into an employment relationship with you, we may continue to process the personal data already available to us for the purposes of the employment relationship in accordance with Art. 88 GDPR and § 26 of the German Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG-neu).
We only process the personal data that you provide to us via the application form, including: name, address, contact details, qualifications, CV/resume, professional training and further education, as well as other data that you provide or upload as part of your application. We only process the personal data that we receive from you as part of your application, whether submitted by post or electronically via the application banner or application form.
Within the company, we only disclose your personal data to those persons who require this data to fulfill contractual and legal obligations or to implement our legitimate interests. Specifically, these are:
- Management
- Human Resources Management
- Team Management
Your data will not be transferred to third countries.
We store your personal data for as long as this is necessary to make a decision regarding your application. Your data and application documents will be deleted six months after the application process has ended (e.g. after notification of a rejection decision), unless a legal requirement or other legal basis permits or requires further storage.
If you have consented to the longer storage of your personal data, we will store it in accordance with the terms of your consent.
In addition, we will only store your data insofar as this is required by law or, in a specific case, is necessary for the assertion, exercise, or defense of legal claims for the duration of legal proceedings.
Every data subject has the right of access pursuant to Art. 15 GDPR, the right to rectification pursuant to Art. 16 GDPR, the right to erasure pursuant to Art. 17 GDPR, the right to restriction of processing pursuant to Art. 18 GDPR, the right to notification pursuant to Art. 19 GDPR, the right to data portability pursuant to Art. 20 GDPR, and the right to object pursuant to Art. 21 GDPR.
If you believe that the processing of your personal data is not lawful, you have the right under Art. 77 GDPR to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority. This right to lodge a complaint is without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy.
If you have given your consent to the processing of your personal data, you have the option to withdraw this consent pursuant to Art. 7 GDPR. However, this withdrawal only applies to future processing and does not affect processing that has already taken place. It should also be noted that certain processing activities are necessary to comply with legal requirements and therefore the relevant data must be stored for a specific period of time.
There is no statutory obligation to provide personal data. Therefore, as an applicant, you are not obliged to provide such data as part of the application process. However, this also means that important information required for making a decision may be unavailable. We therefore recommend that you only provide the personal data that is necessary for processing your application.
Our decision-making criteria are not determined through automated analysis. For this reason, we do not use automated decision-making systems.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us using the contact details provided above.
