Links
So-called “links” are integrated into this website at various points and are always clearly identified as such. Links provide access to third-party content over which steelconcept has no control. Despite the fact that we exercise all due care when placing such links, it cannot be excluded that linked pages may contain questionable or even unlawful content. In such cases, steelconcept distances itself unequivocally from such content and asks you to inform us accordingly so as to enable the link concerned to be removed without delay.

IP Anonymization
We have enabled the function “IP Anonymization” on this website. This means that Google already truncates the user’s IP address within the member states of the European Union or other states party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. It is only in exceptional cases that the full IP address is transmitted to a server operated by Google in the USA and truncated there. Google uses this information on behalf of the operator of this website to evaluate your use of the website, to create reports on website activity and to provide further services concerning website and Internet use to the website operator. The IP address communicated by your browser within the framework of Google Analytics will not be associated with any other data held by Google.

The “Jobs” section of this website refers to the possibility to submit applications for employment via e-mail.

Secure data transmission via the Internet, however, lies beyond the control of the recipient.
