If you have revoked your consent, we may nevertheless retain certain Personal Data for the period required in order for us to meet our legal obligations and defend ourselves in legal disputes. If we have not received your consent for Processing, the Personal Data will only be retained to the extent we are permitted to do so by law.

Who do we share your personal data with?

  • We share your personal information with third parties who perform functions on our behalf and who also provide services to us, such as professional advisors, IT consultants carrying out testing and development work on our business technology systems, research and mailing houses and function coordinators, our distributors/representatives who are providing maintenance and/or support activities on our behalf.
  • We share your personal information with our other Fortive Group companies for internal reasons, primarily for business and operational purposes.
  • As we continue to develop our business, we may sell or purchase assets. If another entity acquires us or merges with us your personal information will be disclosed to such entity.

  • Where required we share your personal information with third parties to comply with a legal obligation; when we believe in good faith that an applicable law requires it; at the request of governmental authorities conducting an investigation; to detect and protect against fraud, or any technical or security vulnerabilities; to respond to an emergency; or otherwise to protect the rights, property, safety, or security of third parties, visitors to our website, our business or the public.

Our content may offer social sharing features and other integrated tools (such as the Facebook “Like” button), which let you share actions you take on our services with other media, and vice versa. The use of such features enables the sharing of information with your friends or the public, depending on the settings you establish with the entity that provides the social sharing feature. For more information about the purpose and scope of data collection and processing in connection with social sharing features, please visit the privacy policies of the entities that provide these features. We accept no responsibility for the privacy practices of these entities.

What legal basis do we have for using your personal data?

We process your information:

  • To be able to provide you with products AND/OR services in line with our Terms & Conditions via the Dynapar websites
  • As this is necessary for the performance of the inquiry responses, application engineering support, contract negotiation and contract fulfilment with you for or to take steps at your request
  • To comply with our legal obligations as required
  • To protect your vital interests AND/OR the vital interests of your employer
  • As this is necessary in pursuit of our legitimate interests in direct marketing, market research and web analytics, and this includes profiling related to audience segmentation and personalization. While there are some risks with this type of activity, on balance, we consider the risk to your rights of data protection is outweighed by the significant benefits in providing information which we think will be of interest to you, and enabling us to enhance, modify, personalize or otherwise improve our services/communications for the benefit of our customers. We’ve also implemented protections for your rights, by balancing our legitimate interests with any potential impact on you and your rights under data protection and any other relevant law. Our legitimate business interests do not automatically override your interests – we will not use your personal data for activities where our interests are overridden by the impact on you (unless we have your consent or are otherwise required or permitted to by law). You’ve the right to object, on grounds relating to your particular situation, at any time to processing of personal data concerning you which is based on legitimate interests. More information on this right and on how to exercise it is set out below.

What happens if you do not provide us with the information we request or ask that we stop processing your information?

If you ask us to stop processing your information, and if we do not require this personal information to fulfil our contractual or legal obligations, we will remove your data from our database, within 30 days of the date of the request.

Where we have legal or contractual obligations that require us to process your information, if you don’t provide the information requested:

  • You may be denied entry into the Dynapar office location(s)
  • You may be denied information about our products and services that is not publicly available such as pricing or detailed specifications
  • Certain methods of payment (e.g. credit cards) require verification or personal information to process payment and as a result, sale may be denied
  • If identity is required to verify proof of purchase, you may be denied warranty or repair services
  • You may be denied access to one of our facilities

Do we make automated decisions concerning you?

In some circumstances we use an automated decision-making system to make marketing and business decisions based on your location or citizenship status.

Hubspot, the marketing platform to which we subscribe to, has a built-in Predictive Lead Scoring functionality which may be used for automated decisions. A Predictive Lead Score is assigned to each contact profile. This is calculated by an algorithm which combines user demographic information with behavioural data relating to user engagement across our various digital platforms, namely: marketing emails; website and landing pages; and social platforms. Predictive Lead Scores may be used to identify and prioritise opportunities for automatic follow up, whether by telephone or email.

You have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which has legal consequences for you or similarly significant effects. While we’re confident that the technology works, we understand that not everyone is comfortable with decisions being left entirely up to machines. If you have any questions about our processes, please contact us on using the details at the end of this Privacy Notice.

Do we use Cookies to collect personal data on you?

To provide better service to you on our websites, we and our service providers use cookies to collect your personal data when you browse. To learn more about our usage of cookies on our websites, please visit our cookie policy

What about marketing?

Dynapar would like to be able to contact you from time to time about our new similar products and services and promotional offers, where we have your permission or are otherwise permitted by applicable law to do so.

You can unsubscribe / opt out at any time by clicking the “Unsubscribe” link in any of our communications or by contacting us using the details at the end of this Privacy Notice.

Our group companies in the Fortive Group would also like to contact you from time to time about their products and promotional offers by email, telephone, post. The Group has a wide range of products and services that we do not offer but that may be of interest to you, or they may be able to service your requirements where we are unable to do so.

Each organization will have its own privacy terms about how it will handle your information. These will tell you how you can opt-out of receiving marketing from them if you change your mind at any time (in addition to using the “Unsubscribe” option in any of their communications).

Where do we store your personal data? Do we transfer your personal data outside the EEA?

All information you provide to us is stored on our data processing service provider’s secure servers.

Where possible, we try to only process your information within the European Economic Area (EEA). If we or our service providers transfer personal data outside of the EEA, we always require that appropriate safeguards are in place to protect the information when it is processed. Some portions of our sales, marketing, customer service, operations and engineering functions are based in non-EEA countries. We have put in place safeguards to protect personal data processed in or accessed from non-EEA countries. You can obtain a copy of the safeguards in place for such transfers by contacting us using the details at the end of this Privacy Notice.

What rights do you have in relation to the personal data we hold on you?

For data subjects under the GDPR, you have a number of rights when it comes to your personal data. Further information and advice about your rights can be obtained from the data protection regulator in your country.

Rights under the GDPR What does this mean?
1. The right to be informed You have the right to be provided with clear, transparent and easily understandable information about how we use your information and your rights. This is why we’re providing you with the information in this Privacy Notice.
2. The right of access You have the right to obtain access to your information (if we’re processing it), and certain other information (similar to that provided in this Privacy Notice).
This is so you’re aware and can check that we’re using your information in accordance with data protection law.
3. The right to rectification You are entitled to have your information corrected if it’s inaccurate or incomplete.
4. The right to erasure This is also known as ‘the right to be forgotten’ and, in simple terms, enables you to request the deletion or removal of your information where there’s no compelling reason for us to keep using it. This is not a general right to erasure; there are exceptions.
5. The right to restrict processing You have rights to ‘block’ or suppress further use of your information. When processing is restricted, we can still store your information, but may not use it further. We keep lists of people who have asked for further use of their information to be ‘blocked’ to make sure the restriction is respected in future. 
6. The right to data portability You have rights to obtain and reuse your personal data for your own purposes across different services. For example, if you decide to switch to a new provider, this enables you to move, copy or transfer your information easily between our IT systems and theirs safely and securely, without affecting its usability.
7. The right to object to processing You have the right to object to certain types of processing, including processing based on our legitimate interests and processing for direct marketing (i.e. if you no longer want to be contacted with potential opportunities).
8. The right to lodge a complaint You have the right to lodge a complaint about the way we handle or process your personal data with your national data protection regulator.
9. The right to withdraw consent If you have given your consent to anything we do with your personal data, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time (although if you do so, it does not mean that anything we have done with your personal data with your consent up to that point is unlawful). This includes your right to withdraw consent to us using your personal data for marketing purposes.

How can you make a request to exercise your rights?

To exercise any of the rights above, or to ask a question, contact us using the details set out at the end of this Privacy Notice.

How will we handle a request to exercise your rights?

We’ll respond as soon as we can. Generally, this will be within one month from when we receive your request but, if the request is going to take longer to deal with, we’ll come back to you and let you know.

We usually act on requests and provide information free of charge, but may charge a reasonable fee to cover our administrative costs of providing the information for:

  • Baseless or excessive/repeated requests
  • Further copies of the same information.

Alternatively, the law may allow us to refuse to act on the request.
