1. Introduction

We, GRIMME Landmaschinenfabrik GmbH & Co. KG, respect your privacy and your personal sphere and take the protection of your personal data very seriously. The processing of your personal data ("your data") by us is carried out on a legal basis. Since 25 May 2018, the most important basis is the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). It goes without saying that we also observe all other pertinent statutory provisions, in particular the Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG). On this page, we have provided a range of information on the topic of data protection.

4. Information on data transfer to the USA

Among other things, tools from companies that are based in the USA are incorporated on our website. When these tools are enabled, your personal data can be passed on to the US servers of the respective companies. We would like to point out that the USA is not a safe third country in terms of the EU Data Privacy Law. US companies are obliged to release personal data to security agencies without you as the affected party being able to take legal action against this. It can therefore not be ruled out that US authorities (e.g. secret services) are processing, evaluating and permanently saving your data that are located on US servers for surveillance purposes. We have no influence on these processing activities.

External hosting

This website is hosted at external service providers (hosters). The personal data that are collected on this website are stored on the servers of the hosters. These personal data can comprise

IP addresses,
meta and communication data,
website accesses and
other data that are generated via a website or are incorporated

To guarantee the data protection compliant processing of data, we have concluded an order processing contract with our hosting partners.
In addition, the respective server calls are recorded in a log file. We use these log file data for technical debugging and to fend off and clarify unlawful attacks on our systems, and, where necessary, to hold responsible persons accountable. We create evaluations of these activities from the stored log files, which we use to optimise our websites. The evaluation as such is done in anonymous form, i.e. by summarising call data, so that the results no longer have a personal reference.
Within the scope of accessing our offer, the following details are collected in a log file:

IP address of the computer through which the query was made
Browser information (browser used, operating system, language, etc.)
Details of the server service used
Protocol version
