1. Usage Data
You can generally visit our websites without informing us who you are or divulging personal data. If you visit our websites, however, so-called usage data is temporarily analyzed as a record on our web server for statistical purposes in order to improve the quality of our websites. This set of data comprises the following:
The aforementioned record data is analyzed only in anonymized format.
2. Storage of IP Address for Security Purposes
In addition to this, we store the complete IP address transmitted from your web browser for a period of seven days strictly for the specific purpose in the interest of identifying, containing, and eliminating attacks on our websites. Once this period of time has ended, we delete or anonymize the IP address. The legal basis for this is the first sentence of Article 6(1)(f) GDPR.
3. Data Security
First Sensor AG maintains suitable physical, electronic, and administrative safeguards to protect your personal data from unauthorized or inappropriate access, accidental or intentional manipulation, loss, and destruction and also makes use of the extensive data security management at TE. We are continuously expanding our security procedures. We restrict access of your personal data to employees who need to know data in order to respond to your request or order. Employees who misuse personal data can expect disciplinary measures. Nevertheless, it is impossible to ensure the internet is entirely secure. If you have any questions about the security of your personal data, you can contact us at privacyoffice@te.com.
4. Storage Period of Data
Unless explicitly stated in this privacy statement, data stored by us is erased as soon as it is no longer required for its intended purpose and as long as no legal retention period prevents its erasure. If the data is not erased because it is required for other, legally permitted purposes, processing is restricted. That means that the data is blocked and not processed for other purposes. This applies, for example, to data that must be retained for commercial or tax reasons.
5. Contacting Us
Our website provides contact data which you can use to directly get in touch with contacts at First Sensor AG.
Alternatively, a contact form is also provided on the website. The contact form will forward you a contact form for the TE group of companies. Contact inquiries are processed centrally at TE by the competent company units.
Upon submitting this form, the personal data you enter is sent to TE Connectivity and processed in the United States in order to provide you with the requested information or services. We will use this data to send you TE news by email or phone. You may unsubscribe from these updates at any time. Please read our privacy policy to learn more.
For legal reasons, we ask for your consent. Please see TE's privacy statement included on the contact form for details https://www.te.com/deu-de/policies-agreements/privacy-policy.html
6. Product Inquiries
In addition to general contact inquiries, you may also make inquiries about specific products and request information through our website. A product inquiry form is provided for this purpose on the product sub-pages. In order to make product inquiries, we ask that you use the form to send us the following information.
The data you enter is stored for the purpose of personally communicating with you. Your inquiries are forwarded to the competent employees at TE based on the products you are inquiring about. In this case, the TE Privacy Policy additionally applies (https://www.te.com/deu-de/policies-agreements/privacy-policy.html).
The data entered is processed on the basis of a legitimate interest (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR). Our aim in providing the contact form for product inquiries is to enable you to make contact without complications.

In this case, the TE Privacy Policy additionally applies (https://www.te.com/deu-de/policies-agreements/privacy-policy.html).

11. Cookies & Measuring Reach
We also use cookies in our website. This standard technology uses small text files, which are transmitted from our web server or the web server of third parties to the user’s web browser and stored there to be accessed at a later time. Cookies can involve small files or any other way of storing information. Cookies allow us to design websites so that they are more convenient and secure to visit. Cookies also mean that website content can better take into account the interests of the visitor and improve the overall website thanks to statistical analysis. Depending on the type of cookie used as well as the intended purpose, the associated data processing is carried out either pursuant to Article 6(1)(f) GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest in having a user-friendly design for our website or on the basis of your consent.
We use “session cookies,” which are stored only for the amount of time the visitor spends on our website (e.g. so that our online services can be used). Session cookies randomly generate a unique identification number known as a session ID. A cookie also contains information on its origin and how long it may be stored. These cookies cannot store any other data. Session cookies are deleted when the user finishes using our online services and, for example, logs off or closes the browser.
In addition to session cookies, this website also uses other types of cookies. Some cookies are employed by third parties which appear on our website. When a user visits our site for the first time, the user is asked to read our cookie notice and then either accept or reject our cookies. Consent can be changed or withdrawn at any time under the following link:

OneTrust is used to save the cookie settings for the whole website. OneTrust stores information on the categories of cookies used by the website and whether users have agreed to or revoked permission for their use in individual categories. This allows us to prevent cookies from being used for every category in the user’s browser when they have not given permission. OneTrust uses cookies with a standard lifetime of one year to store information so that the preferences of returning visitors can be saved.
The list below shows the various types of cookies used by us and third parties on the website: strictly necessary cookies, performance cookies, functional cookies, targeting cookies.

They help us answer the question of which pages are the most popular, which are used the least, and how users navigate the website.

If, as a user, you do not want cookies to be saved on their computer, you can deactivate this in your browser system settings. Stored cookies can be deleted in the browser system settings. Deactivating cookies may restrict functions on online services.
You can also object to customized online marketing from many companies via the Network Advertising Initiative’s opt-out page (http://optout.networkadvertising.org/), the US website (http://www.aboutads.info/choices) or the European site (http://www.youronlinechoices.com/uk/your-ad-choices/).
12. Analytics
In order to design our websites in line with needs, we use the Google Analytics web analysis tool. Google Analytics creates usage profiles on the basis of pseudonyms. Cookies are permanently stored on your computer and read by us for this purpose. This allows us to identify repeat visitors and to count them as such.
As part of Google Analytics, we receive support from Google Ireland Limited and Google LLC (USA) as the processors pursuant to Article 28 GDPR. Data processing may thus also occur outside the EU/EEA.
Google Analytics is used only when IP anonymization is activated. That means that users’ IP addresses are shortened by Google within European Union member states or in other Contracting States to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Full IP addresses are transmitted to a Google server in the US and shortened there only in exceptional cases.
IP addresses transmitted from the user’s browser are not combined with other data from Google. Users can prevent cookies from being stored by going to their browser software settings; users can also prevent data that is generated through the cookie about their use of the online services from being collected or processed by Google by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en.
More information on Google’s use of data, settings, and how to object to data collection can be found on Google’s website: https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites?hl=en (“Google’s use of data when you visit websites or apps from our partners”), https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads?hl=en (“use of data for promotional purposes”), https://adssettings.google.com/authenticated (“manage information Google uses to show you marketing”).
An adequate level of data protection cannot be presumed for Google LLC due to processing in the US. There is a risk that authorities will access the data for security and monitoring purposes without your being notified of this or being able to appeal. Please note this if you decide to give your consent to our use of Google Analytics.
The legal basis for data processing is your consent pursuant to Section 25(1) of the German Telecommunications Telemedia Data Protection Act and Article 6(1)(a) GDPR. Consent is given through the cookie consent management tool (“OneTrust”). Transfer to a third country occurs on the basis of Article 49(1)(a) GDPR.
You may withdraw your consent at any time. To do so, please select the corresponding settings through our OneTrust consent management tool.
13. Integration of Third-Party Services and Content
1. As part of our online services, we use content and service offers from third party providers in order to integrate their content and services such as videos or fonts (hereinafter referred to collectively as “content”). Embedding occurs on the basis of your consent, Article 6(1)(a) GDPR. Data is transferred to a third country on the basis of Article 49(1)(a) GDPR. Consent is given through the cookie consent management tool (“OneTrust”).
We try to use only content for which the providers use IP addresses for the sole purpose of delivering the content. Third party providers can also use “pixel tags” (invisible graphics, also known as “web beacons”) for statistical or marketing purposes. These pixel tags allow information such as website visitor traffic to be analyzed. The pseudonym information can also be stored in cookies on the user’s device and may contain technical information regarding the browser and operating system, referring sites, visiting time and other information on the use of our online services. It may also be linked to information from other sources.
14. Collaboration with Processors and Third Parties
15. Transfers to Third Countries
Any processing of data in a third country (outside the European Union (EU) or the European Economic Area (EEA)) or in the context of the use of third-party services or disclosure or transfer of data to third parties, will occur only for the purposes of fulfilling our (pre)contractual obligations or on the basis of your consent pursuant to Article 49(1)(a) GDPR, a legal obligation or our legitimate interests. Subject to legal or contractual authorization, we process data or allow the data to be processed in a third country only if the special requirements under Article 44 et seqq. GDPR are met. That means that data is processed, for example, on the basis of special guarantees such as officially recognized levels of data protection in the EU or by observing officially recognized special contractual obligations (“standard contractual clauses”).
16. Rights of the Data Subjects
Your rights as data subject
If your personal data is processed, GDPR grants you certain rights as the data subject:

In such cases, we will no longer process the personal data unless there is evidence of compelling reasons worthy of protection for the processing that prevail over your interests, rights, and freedoms, or if the processing serves the assertion, the exercise, or the defense of any legal claim on our part.
Right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority (Article 77 GDPR)
Pursuant to Article 77 GDPR, you also have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority if you consider that the processing of personal data relating to you infringes data protection regulations.
