Privacy Policy
We are very delighted that you have shown interest in our
enterprise.
Data protection is of a particularly high priority for the
management of The Company / EMD-Technology Co., Ltd.. The use of the Internet
pages of The Company (published by EMD-Technology Co., Ltd.) is possible
without any indication of personal data; however, if a data subject wants to
use special enterprise services via our website, processing of personal data
could become necessary. If the processing of personal data is necessary and
there is no statutory basis for such processing, we generally obtain consent
from the data subject.
The processing of personal data, such as the name, address,
e-mail address, or telephone number of a data subject shall always be in line
with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and in accordance with the
country-specific data protection regulations applicable to The Company . By
means of this data protection declaration, our enterprise would like to inform
the general public of the nature, scope, and purpose of the personal data we
collect, use and process. Furthermore, data subjects are informed, by means of
this data protection declaration, of the rights to which they are entitled.
As the controller, The Company has implemented numerous
technical and organizational measures to ensure the most complete protection of
personal data processed through this website. However, Internet-based data
transmissions may in principle have security gaps, so absolute protection may
not be guaranteed. For this reason, every data subject is free to transfer
personal data to us via alternative means, e.g. by telephone.
1. Definitions
The data protection declaration of The Company / EMD-Technology
Co., Ltd. is based on the terms used by the European legislator for the
adoption of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Our data protection
declaration should be legible and understandable for the general public, as
well as our customers and business partners. To ensure this, we would like to
first explain the terminology used.
In this data protection declaration, we use, inter alia, the
following terms:
a)Personal data
Personal data means any information relating to an
identified or identifiable natural person (“data subject”). An identifiable
natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in
particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification
number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more factors specific
to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social
identity of that natural person.
b) Data subject
Data subject is any identified or identifiable natural
person, whose personal data is processed by the controller responsible for the
processing.
c)Processing
Processing is any operation or set of operations which is
performed on personal data or on sets of personal data, whether or not by
automated means, such as collection, recording, organisation, structuring,
storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by
transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or
combination, restriction, erasure or destruction.
Restriction of processing
Restriction of processing is the marking of stored personal
data with the aim of limiting their processing in the future.
eProfiling
Profiling means any form of automated processing of personal
data consisting of the use of personal data to evaluate certain personal
aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to analyze or predict
aspects concerning that natural person’s performance at work, economic
situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behavior,
location or movements.
Controller or controller responsible for the processing
Controller or controller responsible for the processing is
the natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which,
alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the
processing of personal data; where the purposes and means of such processing
are determined by Union or Member State law, the controller or the specific
criteria for its nomination may be provided for by Union or Member State law.
Processor
Processor is a natural or legal person, public authority,
agency or other body which processes personal data on behalf of the controller.
Recipient
Recipient is a natural or legal person, public authority,
agency or another body, to which the personal data are disclosed, whether a
third party or not. However, public authorities which may receive personal data
in the framework of a particular inquiry in accordance with Union or Member
State law shall not be regarded as recipients; the processing of those data by
those public authorities shall be in compliance with the applicable data
protection rules according to the purposes of the processing.
Third party
Third party is a natural or legal person, public authority,
agency or body other than the data subject, controller, processor and persons
who, under the direct authority of the controller or processor, are authorized
to process personal data.
Consent
Consent of the data subject is any freely given, specific,
informed and unambiguous indication of the data subject’s wishes by which he or
she, by a statement or by a clear affirmative action, signifies agreement to
the processing of personal data relating to him or her.
2. Name and Address of the controller
Controller for the purposes of the General Data Protection
Regulation (GDPR), other data protection laws applicable in Member states of
the Asian Economic Communities and other provisions related to data protection
is:
The Company
published by EMD-Technology Co., Ltd.
52/173 Soi 15 Soi. Krungthepkeeta Sapansoong Bangkok 10250

3. Cookies
The Internet pages of The Company / EMD-Technology Co., Ltd.
use cookies. Cookies are text files that are stored in a computer system via an
Internet browser.
Many Internet sites and servers use cookies. Many cookies
contain a so-called cookie ID. A cookie ID is a unique identifier of the
cookie. It consists of a character string through which Internet pages and
servers can be assigned to the specific Internet browser in which the cookie
was stored. This allows visited Internet sites and servers to differentiate the
individual browser of the data’s subject from other Internet browsers that
contain other cookies. A specific Internet browser can be recognised and
identified using the unique cookie ID.
Through the use of cookies, The Company / EMD-Technology
Co., Ltd. can provide the users of this website with more user-friendly
services that would not be possible without the cookie setting.
By means of a cookie, the information and offers on our
website can be optimised with the user in mind. Cookies allow us, as previously
mentioned, to recognise our website users. The purpose of this recognition is
to make it easier for users to utilise our website. The website user that uses
cookies, e.g. does not have to enter access data each time the website is
accessed, because this is taken over by the website, and the cookie is thus
stored on the user’s computer system. Another example is the cookie of a
shopping cart in an online shop. The online store remembers the articles that a
customer has placed in the virtual shopping cart via a cookie.
The data subject may, at any time, prevent the setting of
cookies through our website by means of a corresponding setting of the Internet
browser used, and may thus permanently deny the setting of cookies.
Furthermore, already set cookies may be deleted at any time via an Internet
browser or other software programs. This is possible in all popular Internet
browsers. If the data subject deactivates the setting of cookies in the
Internet browser used, not all functions of our website may be entirely usable.
4. Collection of general data and information
The website of The Company and associated websites collects
a series of general data and information when a data subject or automated
system calls up the website. This general data and information are stored in
the server log files. Collected may be (1) the browser types and versions used,
(2) the operating system used by the accessing system, (3) the website from
which an accessing system reaches our website (so-called referrers), (4) the
sub-websites, (5) the date and time of access to the Internet site, (6) an
Internet protocol address (IP address), (7) the Internet service provider of
the accessing system, and (8) any other similar data and information that may
be used in the event of attacks on our information technology systems.
When using these general data and information, The Company /
EMD-Technology Co., Ltd. does not draw any conclusions about the data subject.
Rather, this information is needed to (1) deliver the content of our website
correctly, (2) optimise the content of our website as well as its
advertisement, (3) ensure the long-term viability of our information technology
systems and website technology, and (4) provide law enforcement authorities
with the information necessary for criminal prosecution in case of a
cyber-attack. Therefore, The Company / EMD-Technology Co., Ltd. analyses
anonymously collected data and information statistically, with the aim of
increasing the data protection and data security of our enterprise, and to
ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data we process. The
anonymous data of the server log files are stored separately from all personal
data provided by a data subject.
5. Registration on our website
The data subject has the possibility to register on the
website of the controller with the indication of personal data. Which personal
data are transmitted to the controller is determined by the respective input
mask used for the registration. The personal data entered by the data subject
are collected and stored exclusively for internal use by the controller, and
for his own purposes. The controller may request transfer to one or more
processors (e.g. a parcel service) that also uses personal data for an internal
purpose which is attributable to the controller.
By registering on the website of the controller, the IP
address—assigned by the Internet service provider (ISP) and used by the data
subject—date, and time of the registration are also stored. The storage of this
data takes place against the background that this is the only way to prevent
the misuse of our services, and, if necessary, to make it possible to
investigate committed offenses. Insofar, the storage of this data is necessary
to secure the controller. This data is not passed on to third parties unless
there is a statutory obligation to pass on the data, or if the transfer serves
the aim of criminal prosecution.
The registration of the data subject, with the voluntary
indication of personal data, is intended to enable the controller to offer the
data subject contents or services that may only be offered to registered users
due to the nature of the matter in question. Registered persons are free to
change the personal data specified during the registration at any time, or to
have them completely deleted from the data stock of the controller.
The data controller shall, at any time, provide information
upon request to each data subject as to what personal data are stored about the
data subject. In addition, the data controller shall correct or erase personal
data at the request or indication of the data subject, insofar as there are no
statutory storage obligations. A Data Protection Officer particularly
designated in this data protection declaration, as well as the entirety of the
controller’s employees are available to the data subject in this respect as
contact persons.
6. Subscription to our Digital Briefing (e-newsletter) and
Marketing Emails
On the website of The Company, users are given the
opportunity to subscribe to our enterprise’s newsletter, also known as The Company
Digital Briefings as well as our event and product marketing emails. The input
mask used for this purpose determines what personal data are transmitted, as
well as when the newsletter is ordered from the controller.
The Company;/ EMD-Technology Co., Ltd. informs its customers
and business partners regularly by means of a newsletter about enterprise
offers. The enterprise’s newsletter may only be received by the data subject if
(1) the data subject has a valid e-mail address and (2) the data subject
registers for the newsletter e-delivery. A confirmation e-mail will be sent to
the e-mail address registered by a data subject for the first time for
newsletter shipping, for legal reasons, in the double opt-in procedure. This
confirmation e-mail is used to prove whether the owner of the e-mail address as
the data subject is authorised to receive the newsletter.
During the registration for the newsletter, we also store
the IP address of the computer system assigned by the Internet service provider
(ISP) and used by the data subject at the time of the registration, as well as
the date and time of the registration. The collection of this data is necessary
in order to understand the (possible) misuse of the e-mail address of a data
subject at a later date, and it therefore serves the aim of the legal
protection of the controller.
The personal data collected as part of a registration for
the newsletter will only be used to send our newsletter. In addition,
subscribers to the newsletter may be informed by e-mail, as long as this is
necessary for the operation of the newsletter service or a registration in
question, as this could be the case in the event of modifications to the
newsletter offer, or in the event of a change in technical circumstances. There
will be no transfer of personal data collected by the newsletter service to
third parties. The subscription to our newsletter may be terminated by the data
subject at any time. The consent to the storage of personal data, which the
data subject has given for shipping the newsletter, may be revoked at any time.
For the purpose of revocation of consent, a corresponding link is found in each
newsletter. It is also possible to unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time
directly on the website of the controller, or to communicate this to the
controller in a different way. You will find the option to unsubscribe from
email communications from the Company at the bottom of emails and you will be
able to either update your preferences to choose how we communicate with you or
unsubscribe from all future communications.
7. Email-Tracking
The newsletter of The Company / EMD-Technology Co., Ltd.
contains so-called tracking pixels. A tracking pixel is a miniature graphic
embedded in such e-mails, which are sent in HTML format to enable log file
recording and analysis. This allows a statistical analysis of the success or
failure of online marketing campaigns. Based on the embedded tracking pixel and
unique links used by the emails, The Company / EMD-Technology Co., Ltd. may see
if and when an e-mail was opened by a data subject, and which links in the
e-mail were called up by data subjects.
Such personal data collected in the tracking pixels
contained in the newsletters are stored and analysed by the controller in order
to optimise the shipping of the newsletter, as well as to adapt the content of
future newsletters even better to the interests of the data subject. These
personal data will not be passed on to third parties (unless specified for the
individual campaign and agreed with by the recipient). Data subjects are at any
time entitled to revoke the respective separate declaration of consent issued
by means of the double-opt-in procedure. After a revocation, these personal
data will be deleted by the controller. The Company / EMD-Technology Co., Ltd.
automatically regards a withdrawal from the receipt of the newsletter as a
revocation.
8. Contact possibility via the website
The website of The Company contains information that enables
a quick electronic contact to our enterprise, as well as direct communication
with us, which also includes a general address of the so-called electronic mail
(e-mail address). If a data subject contacts the controller by e-mail or via a
contact form, the personal data transmitted by the data subject are
automatically stored. Such personal data transmitted on a voluntary basis by a
data subject to the data controller are stored for the purpose of processing or
contacting the data subject. There is no transfer of this personal data to
third parties.
10. Routine erasure and blocking of personal data
The data controller shall process and store the personal
data of the data subject only for the period necessary to achieve the purpose
of storage, or as far as this is granted by the European legislator or other
legislators in laws or regulations to which the controller is subject to.
If the storage purpose is not applicable, or if a storage
period prescribed by the European legislator or another competent legislator
expires, the personal data are routinely blocked or erased in accordance with
legal requirements.#
11. Rights of the data subject
a) Right of confirmation
Each data subject shall have the right granted by the
European legislator to obtain from the controller the confirmation as to
whether or not personal data concerning him or her are being processed. If a
data subject wishes to avail himself of this right of confirmation, he or she

the controller.
b) Right of access
Each data subject shall have the right granted by the
European legislator to obtain from the controller free information about his or

the
purposes of the processing;
the
categories of personal data concerned;
the
recipients or categories of recipients to whom the personal data have been or

information about the logic involved, as well as the significance and envisaged
consequences of such processing for the data subject.
Furthermore, the data subject shall have a right to obtain
information as to whether personal data are transferred to a third country or
to an international organisation. Where this is the case, the data subject
shall have the right to be informed of the appropriate safeguards relating to
the transfer.
If a data subject wishes to avail himself of this right of
access, he or she may at any time contact our Data Protection Officer or
another employee of the controller.
c) Right to rectification
Each data subject shall have the right granted by the
European legislator to obtain from the controller without undue delay the
rectification of inaccurate personal data concerning him or her. Taking into
account the purposes of the processing, the data subject shall have the right
to have incomplete personal data completed, including by means of providing a
supplementary statement.
If a data subject wishes to exercise this right to

or another employee of the controller.
d) Right to erasure (Right to be forgotten)
Each data subject shall have the right granted by the
European legislator to obtain from the controller the erasure of personal data
concerning him or her without undue delay, and the controller shall have the
obligation to erase personal data without undue delay where one of the
following grounds applies, as long as the processing is not necessary:
The
personal data are no longer necessary in relation to the purposes for which
they were collected or otherwise processed.
The
data subject withdraws consent to which the processing is based according to
point (a) of Article 6(1) of the GDPR, or point (a) of Article 9(2) of the
GDPR, and where there is no other legal ground for the processing.
The
data subject objects to the processing pursuant to Article 21(1) of the GDPR
and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing, or the data
subject objects to the processing pursuant to Article 21(2) of the GDPR.
The
personal data have been unlawfully processed.
The
personal data must be erased for compliance with a legal obligation in Union or
Member State law to which the controller is subject.
The
personal data have been collected in relation to the offer of information
society services referred to in Article 8(1) of the GDPR.
If one of the aforementioned reasons applies, and a data
subject wishes to request the erasure of personal data stored by The Company / EMD-Technology
Co., Ltd., he or she may at any time contact our Data Protection Officer or
another employee of the controller. The Data Protection Officer of The Company
/ EMD-Technology Co., Ltd. or another employee shall promptly ensure that the
erasure request is complied with immediately.
Where the controller has made personal data public and is
obliged pursuant to Article 17(1) to erase the personal data, the controller,
taking account of available technology and the cost of implementation, shall
take reasonable steps, including technical measures, to inform other
controllers processing the personal data that the data subject has requested
erasure by such controllers of any links to, or copy or replication of, those
personal data, as far as processing is not required. The Data Protection
Officer of The Company / EMD-Technology Co., Ltd. or another employee will
arrange the necessary measures in individual cases.
e) Right of restriction of processing
Each data subject shall have the right granted by the
European legislator to obtain from the controller restriction of processing
where one of the following applies:
The
accuracy of the personal data is contested by the data subject, for a period
enabling the controller to verify the accuracy of the personal data.
The
processing is unlawful and the data subject opposes the erasure of the personal
data and requests instead the restriction of their use instead.
The
controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of the processing,
but they are required by the data subject for the establishment, exercise or
defence of legal claims.
The
data subject has objected to processing pursuant to Article 21(1) of the GDPR
pending the verification whether the legitimate grounds of the controller
override those of the data subject.
If one of the aforementioned conditions is met, and a data
subject wishes to request the restriction of the processing of personal data
stored by The Company / EMD-Technology Co., Ltd., he or she may at any time
contact our Data Protection Officer or another employee of the controller. The
Data Protection Officer of The Company / EMD-Technology Co., Ltd. or another
employee will arrange the restriction of the processing.
f) Right to data portability
Each data subject shall have the right granted by the
European legislator, to receive the personal data concerning him or her, which
was provided to a controller, in a structured, commonly used and
machine-readable format. He or she shall have the right to transmit those data
to another controller without hindrance from the controller to which the
personal data have been provided, as long as the processing is based on consent
pursuant to point (a) of Article 6(1) of the GDPR or point (a) of Article 9(2)
of the GDPR, or on a contract pursuant to point (b) of Article 6(1) of the
GDPR, and the processing is carried out by automated means, as long as the
processing is not necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the
public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the
controller.
Furthermore, in exercising his or her right to data
portability pursuant to Article 20(1) of the GDPR, the data subject shall have
the right to have personal data transmitted directly from one controller to
another, where technically feasible and when doing so does not adversely affect
the rights and freedoms of others.
In order to assert the right to data portability, the data
subject may at any time contact the Data Protection Officer designated by The Company
/ EMD-Technology Co., Ltd. or another employee.
g) Right to object
Each data subject shall have the right granted by the
European legislator to object, on grounds relating to his or her particular
situation, at any time, to processing of personal data concerning him or her,
which is based on point (e) or (f) of Article 6(1) of the GDPR. This also
applies to profiling based on these provisions.
The Company / EMD-Technology Co., Ltd. shall no longer
process the personal data in the event of the objection, unless we can
demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override the
interests, rights and freedoms of the data subject, or for the establishment,
exercise or defence of legal claims.
If The Company / EMD-Technology Co., Ltd. processes personal
data for direct marketing purposes, the data subject shall have the right to
object at any time to processing of personal data concerning him or her for
such marketing. This applies to profiling to the extent that it is related to
such direct marketing. If the data subject objects to The Company / EMD-Technology
Co., Ltd. to the processing for direct marketing purposes, The Company / EMD-Technology
Co., Ltd. will no longer process the personal data for these purposes.
In addition, the data subject has the right, on grounds
relating to his or her particular situation, to object to processing of
personal data concerning him or her by The Company / EMD-Technology Co., Ltd.
for scientific or historical research purposes, or for statistical purposes
pursuant to Article 89(1) of the GDPR, unless the processing is necessary for
the performance of a task carried out for reasons of public interest.
In order to exercise the right to object, the data subject
may directly contact the Data Protection Officer of The Company / EMD-Technology
Co., Ltd. or another employee. In addition, the data subject is free in the
context of the use of information society services, and notwithstanding
Directive 2002/58/EC, to use his or her right to object by automated means
using technical specifications.
h) Automated individual decision-making, including profiling
Each data subject shall have the right granted by the
European legislator not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated
processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects concerning him or
her, or similarly significantly affects him or her, as long as the decision (1)
is not is necessary for entering into, or the performance of, a contract
between the data subject and a data controller, or (2) is not authorised by
Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject and which also
lays down suitable measures to safeguard the data subject’s rights and freedoms
and legitimate interests, or (3) is not based on the data subject’s explicit consent.
If the decision (1) is necessary for entering into, or the
performance of, a contract between the data subject and a data controller, or
(2) it is based on the data subject’s explicit consent, The Company / EMD-Technology
Co., Ltd. shall implement suitable measures to safeguard the data subject’s
rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, at least the right to obtain
human intervention on the part of the controller, to express his or her point
of view and contest the decision.
If the data subject wishes to exercise the rights concerning
automated individual decision-making, he or she may at any time directly
contact our Data Protection Officer of The Company / EMD-Technology Co., Ltd.
or another employee of the controller.
i) Right to withdraw data protection consent
Each data subject shall have the right granted by the
European legislator to withdraw his or her consent to processing of his or her
personal data at any time.
If the data subject wishes to exercise the right to withdraw
the consent, he or she may at any time directly contact our Data Protection
Officer of The Company / EMD-Technology Co., Ltd. or another employee of the
controller.
12. Data protection for applications and the application
procedures
The data controller shall collect and process the personal
data of applicants for the purpose of the processing of the application
procedure. The processing may also be carried out electronically. This is the
case, in particular, if an applicant submits corresponding application
documents by e-mail or by means of a web form on the website to the controller.
If the data controller concludes an employment contract with an applicant, the
submitted data will be stored for the purpose of processing the employment
relationship in compliance with legal requirements. If no employment contract
is concluded with the applicant by the controller, the application documents
shall be automatically erased two months after notification of the refusal
decision, provided that no other legitimate interests of the controller are
opposed to the erasure. Other legitimate interest in this relation is, e.g. a
burden of proof in a procedure under the General Equal Treatment Act (AGG).
13. Legal basis for the processing
Art. 6(1) lit. a GDPR serves as the legal basis for
processing operations for which we obtain consent for a specific processing
purpose. If the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of
a contract to which the data subject is party, as is the case, for example,
when processing operations are necessary for the supply of goods or to provide
any other service, the processing is based on Article 6(1) lit. b GDPR. The
same applies to such processing operations which are necessary for carrying out
pre-contractual measures, for example in the case of inquiries concerning our
products or services. Is our company subject to a legal obligation by which
processing of personal data is required, such as for the fulfillment of tax
obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6(1) lit. c GDPR. In rare cases,
the processing of personal data may be necessary to protect the vital interests
of the data subject or of another natural person. This would be the case, for
example, if a visitor were injured in our company and his name, age, health
insurance data or other vital information would have to be passed on to a
doctor, hospital or other third party. Then the processing would be based on
Art. 6(1) lit. d GDPR. Finally, processing operations could be based on Article
6(1) lit. f GDPR. This legal basis is used for processing operations which are
not covered by any of the abovementioned legal grounds, if processing is
necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by our company
or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the
interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject which require
protection of personal data. Such processing operations are particularly
permissible because they have been specifically mentioned by the European
legislator. He considered that a legitimate interest could be assumed if the
data subject is a client of the controller (Recital 47 Sentence 2 GDPR).
14. The legitimate interests pursued by the controller or by
a third party
Where the processing of personal data is based on Article
6(1) lit. f GDPR our legitimate interest is to carry out our business in favor
of the well-being of all our employees and the shareholders.
15. Period for which the personal data will be stored
The criteria used to determine the period of storage of
personal data is the respective statutory retention period. After expiration of
that period, the corresponding data is routinely deleted, as long as it is no
longer necessary for the fulfillment of the contract or the initiation of a
contract.
16. Provision of personal data as statutory or contractual
requirement; Requirement necessary to enter into a contract; Obligation of the
data subject to provide the personal data; possible consequences of failure to
provide such data
We clarify that the provision of personal data is partly
required by law (e.g. tax regulations) or can also result from contractual
provisions (e.g. information on the contractual partner). Sometimes it may be
necessary to conclude a contract that the data subject provides us with
personal data, which must subsequently be processed by us. The data subject is,
for example, obliged to provide us with personal data when our company signs a
contract with him or her. The non-provision of the personal data would have the
consequence that the contract with the data subject could not be concluded.
Before personal data is provided by the data subject, the data subject must
contact our Data Protection Officer. Our Data Protection Officer clarifies to
the data subject whether the provision of the personal data is required by law
or contract or is necessary for the conclusion of the contract, whether there
is an obligation to provide the personal data and the consequences of
non-provision of the personal data.
