The subject of data protection is the protection of personal data. This is all information that relates to an identified or identifiable natural person (so-called data subject).

This includes information such as name, postal address, e-mail address or telephone number, but also other information that your Internet browser transmits to our web server, e.g. date and time of the request, page from which the file was requested.

3.1. Accessing website

If you simply access the website without registering or otherwise providing us with information (e.g. via a contact form), we collect information about your interaction with our website, including your device and user ID, information about your operating system, subpages accessed during your visit, the date and time of each visitor request ("usage data"). This data is temporarily stored in a so-called "log file".

The collection of this data is technically necessary to display our website to you and to ensure its stability and security. The aforementioned data is processed for the purpose of ensuring the smooth establishment of a connection to the website, its convenient use and system security and stability.

The legal basis for the data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. Our legitimate interest follows from the aforementioned processing purposes. Under no circumstances do we use the data collected for the purpose of drawing conclusions about your person. The above-mentioned data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer required to achieve the purpose for which it was collected.

3.2. Google Fonts (operating on own server)

We use Google Fonts for a consistent display of fonts and for user-friendliness. The fonts are hosted on our own server. This means that no data is transmitted to Google Ireland Limited. The legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. Our legitimate interest is to be able to display our internet offer in a visually appealing version.

We can also inform you about new, updated products and services from HENSOLDT. If you subscribe to our newsletter, the above-mentioned contents are decisive for your consent. As a rule, it is sufficient to provide your e-mail address. However, as part of the newsletter registration process, you will also be given the opportunity to specify your interests according to various subject areas to provide a personalized service. We keep a record of the registration process to be able to prove that it has been carried out properly.

You can unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time or withdraw your consent at any time by sending an email to info@hensoldt.net. If you do so, we will immediately remove you from our newsletter mailing list to comply with your request. We may retain the data for up to three years to be able to prove former consent.

You can of course withdraw this consent at any time with effect for the future.

The legal basis for processing the contact request is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR if your request relates to the conclusion of a contract.

We delete personal data in accordance with the statutory provisions as soon as the underlying consents are withdrawn or there is no further legal basis for processing.
