1. Privacy at a glance
General information
Our company places the greatest value on the protection of your personal data. Our processing of this data occurs in strict adherence to privacy regulations, including the European General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR), the German Federal Data Protection Act (FDPA) and other legislation. The GDPR obligates us to provide you with the following information on the processing of your data.
Data collection on our website
Who is responsible for data collection on this website?
Data collection on this website is carried out by the website owner.
You can find their contact data in the imprint of this website.
How do we collect your data?
Some of your data are collected when you share it with us, e.g. via e-mail or as part of order processing.
Other data are automatically collected by our IT systems when you visit our website. This includes technical data in particular (e.g. your Internet browser, operating system and the time you called up the website). These data are collected automatically as soon as you access our website.
What do we use your data for?
When you contact us with a request:
You can contact us with a request at any time. You can do this by telephone, letter, e-mail, fax or in person. When you transfer data in doing so, the following applies for this data:
Personal data: Information you freely share with us
Purpose of processing: Handling your request
Legal basis: Section 6 Paragraph 1 Letter a of the GDPR
Recipient of the data:
– Company management and internal specialist departments
– Entities to which we forward the data at your request
Storage duration:
The data are archived following the completion of processing. The data in the archive are deleted after 10 years.
Business partners (customers, suppliers, service providers etc.):
Most of our service providers name one of their employees as a contact to Saalemühle Alsleben GmbH and Dresdener Mühle. The contact data of this contact are processed by us as follows:
Personal data:
– Name
– Company, company address
– Position, function
– Telephone number, fax number
– E-mail address
Purpose of processing: Consultation on ordered services/deliveries
Legal basis: Section 6 Paragraph 1 Letter f of the GDPR
Origin of the data:
– Provision to the contact by yourself
– Provision by another entity of the service provider/supplier
Recipient of the data:
– Company management and internal specialist departments
Storage duration:
The data are archived following fulfilment of the order. The data in the archive are deleted after 10 years. There is no obligation to pass on these data. Processing also is not absolutely necessary for the service/supply. The expenditure required for consultation would be disproportionately high without set contacts, however. The risk of misunderstanding would also be very high. For this reason, there is a justified interest in this processing.
Applicants
We welcome you to send us your application by e-mail.
When you apply with us, we process the following of your data:
Personal data: Data you send with the application
Purpose of processing: Employment decision
Legal basis:

– Section 6 Paragraph 1 Letter a of the GDPR (consent to the longer-term storage of documents)
Recipient of the data:
– Company management and internal specialist departments
Storage duration:
– Should employment occur: 10 years following the end of your employment with us
– Should employment not occur: 3 months following the negative decision (should you not consent to a longer storage duration)
Processing of the data is necessary for considering employment. An employment contract is not possible without the provision of these data.
We follow the principle of data economy and minimisation here. Only those data required for moving forward with our business relationship are processed. The data are neither used for other purposes nor made accessible to others for their purposes.
We would like to point out that we will continue saving data arising of the type described above in the future, as this is absolutely required for handling our business processes.

– Reception of your data in a structured, conventional and machine-readable format (Section 20 of the GDPR)

5. Plug-ins and tools
Google web fonts
This website uses so-called web fonts provided by Google for the standardised representation of fonts. When a website is called up, your browser loads the required web fonts into the browser cache for the correct display of text and fonts.
For this purpose, the browser you are using must connect to Google servers. This notifies Google that our website was called up from your IP address. The use of Google web fonts occurs in the interest of the uniform and attractive representation of our online offerings. This represents a justified interest as per Section 6 Paragraph 1 Letter f of the GDPR.
If your browser does not support web fonts, a standard font from your computer is used.
Google Maps
This website uses the Google Maps service over an API. This is provided by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.
To utilise the functions of Google Maps, your IP address must be saved. This information is generally transferred to a server by Google in the USA and saved there. The provider of this website has no influence on this data transfer.
The Google Maps service is used in the interest of an attractive presentation of our online offerings and the easy findability of the locations specified by us on the website. This represents a justified interest as per Section 6 Paragraph 1 Letter f of the GDPR.
6. Visiting our location
Our facility grounds and locations which are especially sensitive with regard to product security are monitored by video. No other working areas are monitored. Non-personnel are only recorded if they enter monitored areas. Saalemühle Alsleben GmbH and Dresdener Mühle have a justified interest (GDPR Section 6 Paragraph 1 Letter f) in exercising their domiciliary right and resisting negative influences on product security. Video monitoring is a necessary means for monitoring sensitive areas.
7. Analytics and advertising
Google Analytics
This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service. It is operated by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.
Google Analytics uses so-called “cookies”. These are text files that are stored on your computer and that allow an analysis of the use of the website by you. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there.
Google Analytics cookies are stored based on Art. 6 (1) (f) DSGVO. The website operator has a legitimate interest in analyzing user behavior to optimize both its website and its advertising.
IP anonymization
We have activated the IP anonymization feature on this website. Your IP address will be shortened by Google within the European Union or other parties to the Agreement on the European Economic Area prior to transmission to the United States. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address sent to a Google server in the US and shortened there. Google will use this information on behalf of the operator of this website to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity, and to provide other services regarding website activity and Internet usage for the website operator. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with any other data held by Google.

You can prevent these cookies being stored by selecting the appropriate settings in your browser. However, we wish to point out that doing so may mean you will not be able to enjoy the full functionality of this website. You can also prevent the data generated by cookies about your use of the website (incl. your IP address) from being passed to Google, and the processing of these data by Google, by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en.

Outsourced data processing
We have entered into an agreement with Google for the outsourcing of our data processing and fully implement the strict requirements of the German data protection authorities when using Google Analytics.
Demographic data collection by Google Analytics
This website uses Google Analytics’ demographic features. This allows reports to be generated containing statements about the age, gender, and interests of site visitors. This data comes from interest-based advertising from Google and third-party visitor data. This collected data cannot be attributed to any specific individual person. You can disable this feature at any time by adjusting the ads settings in your Google account or you can forbid the collection of your data by Google Analytics as described in the section “Refusal of data collection”.
