Privacy Policy

1. Controller

Sevskiy GmbH, Schatzbogen 43, 81829 München, Germany. Represented by Dr.-Ing. Sergey Sevskiy. Telephone: +49 89 38907229. For privacy inquiries, please use these contact details or our contact form.

You can find our electronic contact address in the legal notice via “Show email address”.

2. Provision and hosting

We use IONOS SE, Elgendorfer Str. 57, 56410 Montabaur, Germany for hosting and email processing. When the page is accessed, the server processes technically necessary data such as IP address, time, requested address, transferred data volume, HTTP status, browser and operating system and, if applicable, the referring page. This enables the delivery of the website and the detection of technical malfunctions and abusive access. The legal basis is Art. 6 paragraph 1 lit. f GDPR; our legitimate interest is safe and reliable operation.

IONOS processes hosting data as a service provider. Log data is retained in accordance with the deletion cycles applicable to the hosting contract. We use access logs for technical troubleshooting and to prevent misuse, not to create personal usage profiles. In the event of a specific security incident, necessary data may be retained until the incident is clarified and, if necessary, legal claims are enforced. Further information: Data protection information from IONOS.

3. Contact form, email and telephone

When you contact us, we process your name, email address, chosen topic and the content of your message. The company and telephone number are voluntary information in the form. The data will be used to process and answer your request. Art. 6 paragraph 1 lit. b GDPR applies to pre-contractual or contractual inquiries; for other inquiries Art. 6 paragraph 1 lit. f GDPR based on our interest in communicating with you.

The form transmits your information in encrypted form to our web server. This sends the request via an encrypted SMTP connection to our business mailbox at IONOS. No additional message database is maintained in the form system. The people involved in your request and the necessary technical service providers have access.

We delete request content when processing is complete and it is no longer needed. If this results in a contractual relationship or if there are legal retention obligations, further storage will be based on these purposes and deadlines. The information marked as mandatory fields is required to process and answer your request. You can contact us by phone instead.

4. Protection against abusive requests

The form uses a time-limited security token and an invisible validation field. To limit repeated requests, a check value of the IP address generated with a secret key is processed on the server side along with times. The IP address is not stored in plain text in the form memory. These check values are scheduled for deletion after 24 hours at the latest and are cleaned the next time the form is accessed.

The legal basis is Art. 6 paragraph 1 lit. f GDPR. Our legitimate interest is to prevent automated misuse and overloading of the contact channel. External CAPTCHA providers are not integrated.

5. Online shop and local content

The online shop processes search, filters and sorting in your browser. Filter values can be included in the page address to allow a selection to be reopened or shared. Please do not enter confidential or personal information in the product search.

Fonts and images as well as our own scripts are provided locally. The external Cal.com embed is automatically loaded on the separate appointment booking page. The contact form security token is only temporarily held in the memory of the opened page. Access required for expressly requested technical functions is governed by Section 25 Paragraph 2 No. 2 TDDDG.

6. External links and PDF documents

Our online shop sources items, prices and inventory from Minerva. When you place an order, we process your company, contact, invoice and delivery data to process the contract. For a customer account, the associated account data is processed in Minerva.

Technical data sheets supplement the product information. You can find the current released range, prices and ordering options in our online shop.

7. Online meeting booking with Cal.com

When you open our “Book an online meeting” page, the Cal.com booking calendar loads automatically. Your browser connects to Cal.com and transmits technically necessary connection data, such as your IP address and browser information. If you book a meeting, the information you enter in the booking form is processed to organize and conduct that meeting. The booking script does not load on our other pages. You can also contact us by phone or through our contact form without using Cal.com.

The booking service provider is Cal.com, Inc. Information on data processing and possible additional service providers is available in the Cal.com privacy policy. Please also read the notices displayed there before booking.

8. Your rights

Subject to the statutory conditions, you have rights of access (Article 15 GDPR), rectification (Article 16), erasure (Article 17), restriction of processing (Article 18) and data portability (Article 20). Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw that consent at any time with effect for the future; this does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.

Right to object: You may object under Article 21 GDPR to processing based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR on grounds relating to your particular situation. Please send your objection to the contact details above.

You can also complain to a data protection supervisory authority. The Bavarian State Office for Data Protection Supervision (BayLDA), Promenade 18, 91522 Ansbach, is responsible for private companies based in Bavaria: www.lda.bayern.de.

9. Automated decisions

We do not make exclusively automated decisions with legal or similarly significant effects based on your website or contact form data and do not carry out any corresponding profiling.

10. Own statistics without cookies

We count page views, contact requests successfully sent to our mail server and confirmed online meeting bookings in our own statistics. The counters are summarized for each calendar day (time zone Europe/Berlin), a defined page and language version. No visitor profiles, recognition identifiers or cross-device links are created. These are view and event counts, not the number of different people.

Our statistics use no cookies, local storage or fingerprinting. They store no IP addresses, browser identifiers, referrers, search terms, URL parameters, names, contact details or message text. When a statistics request is made, technically necessary connection data is temporarily received by the server; separate hosting logs and processing by the contact form or Cal.com are governed by the other sections of this notice.

The legal basis for temporary processing to create these data-minimizing counters is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest is to assess and improve our content and contact channels. Our own statistics respect enabled “Do Not Track” and “Global Privacy Control” signals for page views and browser-triggered events. You may also object to this processing through our contact channels.

Combined daily counters are kept for a maximum of 13 months; Older entries will be cleaned up during the next counting process. In standard operation, appointments are only counted in the open calendar if the booking is confirmed. If server-side Cal.com feedback is activated, this signed feedback is evaluated instead. To avoid duplicate reports, a secret check value derived from the booking ID is stored for a maximum of seven days and cleaned up during the next counting process; Booking ID and transmitted contact details are not included in the statistics. The two counting ways are not added together.

Online shop and customer account

We use our Minerva system for product data, prices, inventory and order processing. When an order is placed, the required company, contact, billing and delivery data as well as the order items are transmitted to this system. Customer accounts, registrations and saved shopping carts are also managed there.

The shopping cart is saved in your browser's local storage. The technically necessary cookies sevskiy_session and sevskiy_account are used to log in. The session cookie is not accessible to JavaScript. A registered shopping cart can be synchronized with the customer account across devices.

If online payment is selected, the payment amount and order reference are transmitted to Stripe via Minerva. Depending on the activated payment connection, the secure Stripe payment form is displayed within our shop or on a separate Stripe payment page. The payment details are entered directly into Stripe; our website does not store credit card numbers. The payment form is only loaded for the respective payment transaction. The contact form continues to use the separately described submission method.

For the shop functions, in addition to the shopping cart, product-related shopping cart information and the last selected delivery country can be stored in the local storage of your browser. Information about the most recently placed order may remain in the session memory during the browser session. You can delete this data via your browser settings. The legal requirements of § 25 TDDDG apply to required memory access.

Checking an EU VAT identification number

If a VAT-exempt supply of goods to another EU Member State is requested, we verify the foreign VAT identification number provided through the European Commission’s VAT Information Exchange System (VIES). Our server transmits the country code and VAT identification number for this purpose; names, contact details and payment data from the order form are not transmitted for this check. The legal basis is Article 6(1)(c) GDPR in conjunction with our VAT documentation and due-diligence obligations.

The test result is used in the ongoing ordering process. A signed technical verification certificate is valid for 15 minutes and is not stored in an additional tracking cookie. When placing an order, the time and, if necessary, test reference can be saved with the order documents required for tax purposes; The statutory retention periods apply to this. Information about VIES can be found at the European Union.

Optional Minerva product assistant

Opening the optional Minerva product assistant starts a chat session. Your questions and the conversation context required to answer them are transmitted through our server to the configured Minerva/AI system. Please do not enter confidential information or special categories of personal data. We use the information to handle your technical inquiry; depending on its purpose, Article 6(1)(b) or (f) GDPR applies. You may contact us by form or telephone instead.

The requested chat function may use a technical session cookie and a conversation identifier in local browser storage. The conversation identifier remains until browser data is cleared or a new conversation replaces it. In the RAG API mode provided on our web server, the session cookie lasts 24 hours; locally stored conversation and job files are deleted during cleanup runs after 14 days of inactivity. Processing and retention in the connected Minerva/AI system also depend on the service configuration actually used. Conversations are not part of our anonymously aggregated website statistics.
