2 Contact

You can send us your inquiry to the email addresses we provide or use our general contact form. The personal data that you provide to us as part of your inquiry will solely be stored and used by us to respond to your inquiry. We delete this personal data after the storage is no longer necessary or restrict the processing if there are statutory storage obligations.

The legal basis is Article 6 paragraph 1 s. 1 lit. f GDPR, when using the contact form also Article 6 paragraph 1 s. 1 lit. a GDPR. If you contact us in connection with an existing contract or a contract you wish to enter into with us, additional legal basis is Article 6 paragraph 1 s. 1 lit. b GDPR.

3 Newsletter

With your consent to the collection, processing and use of your data, you can subscribe to our newsletters on various topics, with which we inform you regularly about products, training offers, learning materials, events and news. To subscribe to our newsletter, we use the so-called double opt-in procedure. This means that after your registration, we will send you an email to the email address you provided, in which we ask you to confirm your newsletter subscription. In order to prove your registration and, if necessary, to be able to clarify a possible misuse of your personal data, we log the subscription to the newsletter. We save the sending of the confirmation mail and the receipt of your hereby requested response as well as the data of the registration and confirmation. The data will be used solely by Heidelberg Engineering and will not be passed on to third parties. If you do not confirm your subscription within three days, we will send you a reminder. If you do not click the confirmation link in the reminder either, we will no longer be able to send you our newsletter. Should your newsletter subscription be the only reason for processing your data, it will be deleted accordingly.

The only mandatory data for sending the newsletter is your email address. The provision of further, separately marked data is voluntary and will be used to address you personally. The legal basis is Article 6 paragraph 1 s. 1 lit. a GDPR.

You can withdraw your consent to the storage of your personal data and its use for sending the newsletter at any time. To do so, click on the link provided in each newsletter, send an email to Newsletter@HeidelbergEngineering.com or send a message to the contact details of the controller as stated in this privacy policy.

Please note that we analyze your user behavior when sending the newsletter. For this analysis, the emails sent contain tracking pixels, so-called one-pixel image files, and personalized tracking links. We use this data to find out which topics are of interest to you and to improve the content provided. We record whether and when the newsletters we send to you are opened and which links are clicked on. The legal basis is Article 6 paragraph 1 s. 1 lit. f GDPR.

Tracking based on the one-pixel image files is prevented if you have deactivated the display of images in your email program by default. In this case the newsletter will not be displayed completely and you may not be able to use all functions. If you display the images manually, the above-mentioned tracking will take place. Clicks on personalized tracking links are always logged.

To provide our newsletter service, we use the marketing automation solution Salesforce Marketing Cloud Account Engagement, which we explain in the “Marketing Cloud Account Engagement” section of this Privacy Policy.

4 Marketing Cloud Account Engagement

We use Marketing Cloud Account Engagement – MCAE (formerly known as Pardot), the marketing automation solution of Salesforce.com, Inc., Salesforce Tower, 415 Mission Street, 3rd Floor, San Francisco, CA 94105, USA, which is linked to our Salesforce CRM system. In addition to the Salesforce infrastructure, MCAE uses Amazon Web Services, Inc. as a hosting provider (third-party hosting provider). The data processing is carried out on our behalf on the basis of a contract data processing agreement that we have concluded with Salesforce.

We use the MCAE software in online marketing for:

  • systematically recording, analyzing and optimizing our website
  • provision of personalized content and product recommendations
  • implementation of (automated) marketing campaigns and advertising activities
  • measuring the success of marketing campaigns
  • implementation of our email newsletter service
  • provision of landing pages and forms

The legal basis is Article 6 paragraph 1 s. 1 lit. f GDPR.

To register for our email newsletter service, we provide you with a MCAE form embedded in our website or – if your browser does not display the form – directly with a link to the form created in MCAE. When you click on the subscribe button in this MCAE form, a session cookie called “Pardot” is set in your browser by MCAE. We have no influence on the setting of the cookie and its content.
