Our policy

This privacy policy will explain how our organization uses the personal data we collect from you when you interact with us in any form, for example using our website, emailing us or applying for a job

– When you visit our website
– If you are active on our social media channels
– If you send us an email
– If you sign up for our newsletter
– If you or your employer is our customer or supplier
– If you or your employer is a potential customer or supplier
– If you apply for a job with us

When you visit our website
With your consent we are using tools to analyze user behavior to optimize our website. We are also using cross-website tools for marketing purposes via partners. These enable personalised online advertisements and extended analysis and evaluation options regarding the target group and user behavior. This data may also be transferred to third countries outside the European Economic Area without an adequate level of data protection (esp. USA). It is possible that authorities may access the data without any legal remedy.

If you are active on our social media channels
We are active on social media such as LinkedIn and Facebook. If you choose to publish content, such as a post or comment, on any of our public pages, you agree that we process the personal data you publish. We do this to be able to market ourselves and communicate with the people who contact us. In addition to your personal data being stored in the service you have published it in, we also process them by reading, possibly answering and in exceptional cases deleting them. You can withdraw your consent at any time by deleting what you have published yourself, in accordance with the terms for the service.

Remember that by publishing content on one of our public pages, you also submit the information you publish to the provider of the social service. Metal Powder Group has no control over what these providers do with your data, but it is completely regulated by their own terms for each service.

Sometimes we also market our posts on LinkedIn and Facebook. When we do this, we target people who has shown interest in us or our products by visiting our website. We do not have access to any information about specific persons, but with your consent we target you if you have visited our website.

If you send us an email
Incoming e-mails usually contain personal data. If you send an e-mail to us, we will process your personal data by reading, storing, and handling your message and by, if applicable, passing it on to the right recipient within Metal Powder Group. The personal data processed by us for this purpose is the same as you state in your message. Common examples of personal data that comes to us in this way are name, e-mail address, telephone number and position.

The legal basis for this processing is a balance of interests, where we have made the assessment that our (and your) interest in the e-mail being handled and answered weighs heavily enough to justify the processing of your personal data. If your message has not been transferred to a case with a different legal basis, you have the right to object to further processing. We will then delete all messages containing your personal data unless we have an obligation to save them by law or if there is some other legitimate reason to save your messages. The same applies after the case has been resolved. If the case, for example, belongs to an existing customer relationship, we may save it during the time that the customer relationship lasts (even then with a balance of interests) and a time thereafter (to be able to safeguard our rights according to law).

Facebook Custom Audiences / Conversion (“Facebook Pixel”)

We use the Facebook pixel for remarketing purposes to be able to contact you again within 180 days. This allows us to display interest-based advertisements (”Facebook Ads”) to users of the website when they visit the social network ”Facebook” or other websites also using this tool. In this way, we pursue the interest in displaying advertisements that are of interest to you to make our website or offers more interesting for you.

We also use the Facebook Pixel to ensure that our Facebook Ads match the potential interest of users and are not annoying. With the help of the Facebook Pixel, we can track the effectiveness of Facebook ads for statistical and market research purposes by seeing whether users were redirected to our website after clicking on a Facebook ad (so-called ”conversion”).

Due to the marketing tools used, your browser automatically establishes a direct connection with the Facebook server as soon as you have agreed to the use of cookies requiring your consent. Through the integration of the Facebook pixel, Facebook receives the information that you have called up the corresponding website of our internet presence or clicked on an advertisement from us. If you are registered with a Facebook service, Facebook can assign the visit to your account.

The processing of this data by Facebook takes place within the framework of Facebook’s data policy. Special information and details about the Facebook pixel and its functionality can also be found in the Facebook help area.

The following processes are therefore not covered by joint controllership:
