In this privacy policy, IngAMPro Ingenieurgesellschaft für Angewandte Mechanik und Prototypenbau mbH (“we”, “us”, or “the Company”) outlines its procedures regarding data collected from users who access our website at ingampro.com (“Website”) or otherwise provide us with personal data (collectively: “Users”). The competent supervisory authority within the meaning of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is the State Data Protection Commissioner of the federal state of Rhineland-Palatinate, where our Company is located: https://www.datenschutz.rlp.de/de/themenfelder-themen/der-landesbeauftragte/
User rights
You have the following rights: Request confirmation, free of charge, as to whether and to what extent your personal data is being used and processed, its origin and recipients, as well as access to the personal data stored about you and additional information; request a copy of the personal data you have voluntarily provided to us in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format; request the correction of the personal data we have stored about you; request the deletion of your personal data; object to the processing of your personal data by us; request the restriction of the processing of your personal data by us; and lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. Please note, however, that these rights are not absolute but are subject to our own legitimate interests and regulatory requirements. If you wish to exercise any of the rights listed here or require further information, please contact the responsible party. The responsible party for data processing on this website is: IngAMPro Ingenieurgesellschaft für Angewandte Mechanik und Prototypenbau mbH, Rippstadter Str. 110, 67663 Kaiserslautern, Germany, Phone: 49 631 68039 270, Email: info@ingampro.com. The responsible party is the natural or legal person who, alone or jointly with others, decides on the purposes and means of processing personal data (e.g., names, email addresses, etc.).
Revocation of your consent to data processing
Many data processing operations are only possible with your explicit consent. You can revoke your consent at any time. The legality of data processing carried out before the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.
Right to object to data processing in special cases and to direct marketing (Art. 21 GDPR)
If data processing is based on Article 6(1)(e) or (f) of the GDPR, you have the right to object, on grounds relating to your particular situation, at any time to processing of personal data concerning you; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions. The specific legal basis for each processing operation 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 the purpose of establishing, exercising or defending legal claims (objection pursuant to Article 21(1) GDPR). If your personal data is processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you for such marketing. This also applies to profiling insofar as it is related to such direct marketing. If you object, your personal data will subsequently no longer be used for direct marketing purposes (objection pursuant to Article 21(2) GDPR).
storage
We retain your personal data for as long as necessary to provide our services, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our policies. Retention periods depend on the type of data collected and the purpose for which it was collected, taking into account both case-specific circumstances and the need to delete outdated or unused information as soon as possible.

We may, at any time and at our sole discretion, correct, complete, or remove incomplete or inaccurate data.

Use of script libraries (Google Web Fonts)
To ensure our content is displayed correctly and attractively in every browser, we use script and font libraries such as Google Web Fonts (https://www.google.com/webfonts) for this website. Google Web Fonts are cached in your browser, so they only need to be loaded once. If your browser does not support Google Web Fonts or blocks access to them, the content will be displayed in a standard font. When script or font libraries are accessed, a connection is automatically established with the library provider. Theoretically, this provider could collect data. Currently, it is unknown whether and for what purpose the providers of the respective libraries actually collect data. You can find the privacy policy of the Google library provider here: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy.
Data collection by third parties
This policy only addresses the use and disclosure of data we collect from you. If you post data on other websites or disclose it to third parties online, other terms and conditions may apply. Therefore, always carefully review the terms and conditions and privacy policies of any websites you disclose. This privacy policy does not apply to the business practices of companies that we do not own or control, or to individuals other than our employees and staff, including third parties to whom we disclose this data as described in this privacy policy.
How do we protect your data?
We implement security measures on our website with great care and protect your data. We use industry-standard procedures and guidelines to ensure the protection of the data we collect and store, and to prevent the unauthorized use of such data. We also require third parties to adhere to similar security requirements in accordance with this privacy policy. Although we take reasonable steps to protect data, we cannot be held responsible for the actions of those who gain unauthorized access to or misuse our website, and we make no express or implied warranty that we can prevent such access.
Transfer of data outside the European Economic Area
Please note that some recipients may not be located within the European Economic Area. If this is the case, we will only transfer your data to countries approved by the European Commission as having an adequate level of data protection, or we will ensure an adequate level of data protection through a legal agreement.

This technology uses your service usage data for ad targeting (e.g., by placing third-party cookies in your web browser).

We respect your right to privacy. Therefore, these marketing materials will always include an option to unsubscribe from further communications. If you unsubscribe, your email address or phone number will be removed from our marketing distribution lists. Please note that even after unsubscribing from our marketing emails, we will still send you emails containing important information that do not include an unsubscribe option.

Minors
Protecting children's data is especially important online. This website is not designed for or directed at children.

If a parent or guardian becomes aware that their child has provided us with personal data without their consent, they can contact us at info@ingampro.com.
Inquiries via email, telephone, or fax: When you contact us via email, telephone, or fax, your inquiry, including all resulting personal data (name, inquiry), will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of handling your request. We will not share this data without your consent. The processing of this data is based on Article 6 Paragraph 1 Letter b GDPR if your inquiry relates to the fulfillment of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective handling of inquiries addressed to us (Article 6 Paragraph 1 Letter f GDPR) or on your consent (Article 6 Paragraph 1 Letter a GDPR), if such consent has been requested. The data you send us via contact requests will remain with us until you request its deletion, 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, statutory retention periods – remain unaffected.
