This information is recorded in the form of log files.

You can visit the publicly accessible ARL websites without revealing any personal data. The information listed in 2.1 is analyzed in anonymous form for statistical purposes and cannot be used by ARL to identify you as an individual.

In order to register in Extranet (GLORIS, eCommerce, Knowledge +, Jam for Externals, Technology Academy etc.) you have to provide personal data such as your title, first and last name, address, email address, phone number, fax number and company name. We need this data to provide relevant service and support applications with the necessary contact information and especially to determine whether or not someone is authorized to access certain restricted-access areas of our website (user authentication).
2.3.2 Use of web stores
You can visit ARL web stores without personal data being entered or saved.
However, if you wish to set up a customer account, request a quotation or place an order, then you will need to register, specifying personal data such as your title, first name, last name, company name, company address, company phone number and your business email address. When placing an order, you may also have to provide a VAT identification number. ARL does not collect payment data. Depending on the method of payment you select, this data might be collected by the payment service provider.
You will always be directed to the web store of ARL and affiliated companies responsible for sales in your region. Depending on the order placed, your personal data and order details may have to be disclosed to Ancor Research Labs LLP so the order can be processed.

If you are applying in Germany, your profile is also released for more than one company (List of German companies). If you have not released your profile, we always obtain your consent to us disseminating your personal data in advance, or we do not disseminate it. You can revoke this consent at any time.
As we have high standards for our processes and are always striving to improve, we may contact you after the end of the application process to ask for your feedback on our application process. Participation is voluntary. Your answers will be treated as confidential.

For the processing of your personal data, you are the data subject as defined in the European General Data Protection Regulation (EU-GDPR) and you have certain rights with respect to the responsible controller.
Rights of the data subject pursuant to the EU-GDPR

7.4.3 Paragraphs 7.4.1 and 7.4.2 will not apply to the extent that processing is necessary:
7.5 Notification obligation
If you have asserted the right of rectification, erasure or restriction of processing to the controller, the controller will communicate any rectification or erasure of personal data or restriction of processing to each recipient to whom your personal data has been disclosed, unless this proves impossible or involves disproportionate effort.

7.6 Right to data portability
You have the right to receive the personal data concerning you, which you have provided to a controller, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format and you have the right to transmit this data to another controller without hindrance from the controller to which the personal data has been provided, where:
In exercising your right to data portability, you have the right to have the personal data transmitted directly from one controller to another, where technically feasible. This shall not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others. The right to data portability shall not apply to processing necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller.
7.7 Right to object
You have the right to object, on grounds relating your particular situation, at any time to processing of personal data concerning you which is based on point (e) or (f) of Article 6(1) EU-GDPR, including profiling based on those provisions.

Where your personal data is processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time to processing of personal data concerning you for such marketing, which includes profiling to the extent that it is related to such direct marketing.

7.8 Right to withdraw the declaration of consent regarding data protection
Insofar as you have given your consent for reasons of data protection, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time. The withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.
For details on withdrawal of consent for newsletters see section 6, and for tracking cookies see section 4.
7.9 Automated individual decision-making, including profiling
You have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including
profiling, which produces legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affects you. This will not
apply if the decision:
Decisions referred to in the points above are not based on special categories of personal data referred to in Article 9(1), unless point (a) or (g) of Article 9(2) EU GDPR applies and suitable measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms and legitimate interests are in place.
In the cases referred to in points (a) and (c) of this section, the controller will implement suitable measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, at least the right to obtain human intervention on the part of the controller, to express your point of view and to contest the decision.

Without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of your habitual residence, place of work or place of the alleged infringement if you consider that the processing of personal data relating to you infringes this Regulation.
The supervisory authority with which the complaint has been lodged will inform the complainant on the progress and the outcome of the complaint including the possibility of a judicial remedy pursuant to Article 78 EU-GDPR
7.11. Lawfulness of processing
If we obtain the data subject’s consent to the processing of his or her personal data, point (a) of Article 6(1) of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) serves as the legal basis for processing.
If processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party or in order to take steps at the request of the data subject prior to entering into a contract, point b of Article 6(1) EU-GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing.
If processing of personal data is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which our company is subject, point (c) of Article 6(1) EU-GDPR provides the legal basis.
If processing is necessary in order to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person, point (d) of Article 6(1) EU-GDPR provides the legal basis.
If the processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests of ARL or a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject, then point (f) of Article 6(1) EU-GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing. The legitimate interest of our company lies in the performance of our business activities.
