If you visit us on our company premises, we, KWS SAAT SE & Co. KGaA, Grimsehlstrasse 31, 37574 Einbeck, Germany (hereinafter also referred to as "KWS", "we" or "us") process personal data from you. Below we inform you about how we process this data.
1. What personal data do we process from our visitors?
If you come to us as a visitor, we process your last name, first name and your company with the company address. In individual cases we also process your academic title, your e-mail address and your telephone number.
2. For what purpose do we process the data?
The purpose of processing your personal data on the occasion of your visit is
(i) in the event of unforeseen incidents on the company premises, to be able to determine at short notice, for the safety of our visitors, which visitors are on the company premises
(ii) to provide efficient visitor management for our visitors and employees
(iii) to secure our domiciliary rights and
(iv) in the case of incidents on the premises, to be able to establish subsequently who was on the premises at the time of the incident.
3. On what legal basis do we process your data?
The legal basis for the processing of your personal data is Article 6(1)(f) of the EU Data Protection Basic Regulation. KWS' legitimate interest is to ensure the safety of our visitors and equipment and to enable efficient visitor management, the latter also and especially in the interest of those visitors who visit us frequently.
4. Who is the recipient of your data? Do we pass on your data to third parties?
The recipients of our visitors' personal data are the departments of KWS responsible for your visit and external service providers who work for us as processors as part of our visitor management system.
5. Is your personal data also collected by third parties?
We mainly process the personal data that we receive directly from you. If you do not organise your visit yourself, we may also obtain the personal data mentioned in section 1. from the persons who organise your visit, for example your employer or your colleagues.
6. How long do we store the data of our visitors?
Your data will be stored for 365 days and then anonymised in such a way that it is no longer possible to draw conclusions about your person. The 365-day period starts again with each of your visits. On the one hand, this is for your convenience, since if you visit us regularly or several times in a short period of time, you do not have to register again at reception each time you visit us. On the other hand, it also simplifies the work of our visitor management.
7. What are your rights?
Within the framework of the respective legal requirements, you have certain rights regarding your personal data. Please note that certain exceptions may apply to the exercise of these rights and that you may therefore not be able to exercise them in all cases.
