RHI Magnesita GmbH ("us", "we", "RHI") takes the protection of your data and your trust in us very seriously. This data protection declaration applies if you visit or use our website. RHI observes the applicable legal regulations for the protection, lawful handling and confidentiality of personal data, as well as for data security, in particular the Austrian Data Protection Amendment Act 2018 ("DSG"), the European General Data Protection Regulation ("GDPR") and the Telecommunications Act ("TKG"). In the following, we would like to inform you about the gathering, use and transfer of your personal data in connection with your visit to and use of our website www.prospectus.rhimagnesita.com ("Website"). Apart from the context described in this data protection information, we only gather personal data on/through our Website if you provide this yourself in order to use one of our services offered (e.g. establishing contact via the contact form or e-mail).
Personal data is information about natural persons that determines their identity or allows it to be determined e.g. name, e-mail address, IP address. The type and amount of personal data of yours that we process directly is always dependent on how you interact with us and what personal data you provide us with. It can especially comprise
If you contact us (e.g. via e-mail or telephone), we process the personal data you provide us with, for the purpose of processing and answering your enquiry. This of course also applies if you contact us through a contact form via our Website.
Please note:
Declining to provide necessary personal data can restrict our service or render it impossible.
This Website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service provided by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA ("Google"), with the aim of continuously improving the functions and services of the Website. The data gathered for this is not merged with other personal data by RHI.
Google Analytics uses so-called "cookies": text files that are deposited on your computer and that enable an analysis of your use of the Website (esp. user figures/day; via which links/search words; viewed content etc.) If this involves a processing of your personal data (the IP address), this is on the basis of our legitimate justified interest in compiling easy-to-use Website access statistics in a cost-efficient manner and in continuously improving our Website for our customers and business partners. The information generated through the cookie about your use of this Website (including IP address and URLs of the accessed websites) is generally passed on to a Google server in the USA and stored there. RHI does not store any of your data that is gathered in connection with Google Analytics.
Due to the activation of IP anonymisation on this Website, your IP address is shortened/anonymised by Google as soon as Google receives your IP address and can therefore no longer be attributed to you. This anonymisation/abbreviation is carried out within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. It is only in exceptional cases that the full IP address is transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. For these exceptional cases, Google is subject to the EU-US Privacy Shield.
Google will use this information on our behalf to evaluate the usage of the Website, to compile reports about the Website activities and to provide further services associated with website usage and Internet usage.
You can prevent the storage of the cookies by means of a corresponding setting of your browser software (https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en - (mobile devices not supported)) or by clicking on "deactivate Google Analytics" to deactivate Google Analytics for this page (mobile devices supported). However, we would like to point out that in this case it is possible that not all functions of this Website can be used to a full extent. Further information about the gathering and processing of data as part of Google Analytics can be found at
