Data protection is a matter of trust - and your trust is important to us. We - Mitutoyo RCE BV - respect your privacy and personal life. The protection and lawful collection, processing and use of your personal data are important considerations for us. To ensure that you feel safe when visiting our website, we strictly adhere to legal requirements when processing your personal data and wish to inform you about our data collection and data use.
You can visit our website without providing any personal information. We only store so-called ‘server log files’ and access data without reference to individuals, such as the name of your Internet service provider, your browser, the page from which you visit us, the date and time of access or the name of the requested file. This data is used exclusively to optimise our web services and does not allow us to derive any information about your person. These anonymous data are stored separately from any personal data you may have provided and are not traced back to a specific person. They are used for statistical purposes to optimise our web services.
Personal data is only collected if you provide it to us yourself when registering on our website, requesting our newsletter or contacting us via our contact form. We store and use data you entered in the contact form, such as name, company, address, e-mail and telephone number, for individual communication with you. Please note that no confidential information may be sent via the contact form.
Once you have subscribed to our newsletter, you will regularly receive interesting offers by e-mail. Your e-mail address will not be passed on to other companies. You can revoke this permission to use your e-mail address for advertising purposes at any time with effect for the future by clicking the ‘unsubscribe’ link at the bottom of our newsletter.
By registering for our newsletter, we collect your IP address, the date and time of your registration. This is for the purpose of a third party misusing your e-mail address and subscribing to our newsletter without your knowledge, as a cover on our part. We will not collect any further data. The data collected will only be used for subscribing to our newsletter. No data will be passed on to third parties. A comparison of the data collected with data that may be collected by other components of our site will also not be done. You can unsubscribe from this newsletter at any time. For more information, please refer to the confirmation email and each newsletter.
Our website uses so-called ‘cookies’, which are used to make our website more user-friendly, effective and secure - for example, to enable faster navigation. Cookies also provide us with information on the frequency of page views of our website and general navigation. We inform you that some of these cookies are sent by our server on your computer system, most of which are so-called ‘session cookies’.
‘Session cookies’ are automatically deleted from your hard drive at the end of your browser session. Other cookies remain on your computer system and enable us to recognise your computer the next time you visit our website (so-called ‘persistent cookies’). You can of course always reject cookies in your browser settings, if your browser supports this. However, please note that in this case not all functions of our website can be fully used.
Our website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043 USA, hereinafter referred to as ‘Google’. Google Analytics uses so-called ‘cookies’, text files that are stored on your computer to allow analysis of your use of the site. The information generated by these cookies, such as the time, place and frequency of your visits to our site, including your IP address, is sent to Google's location in the USA and stored there. When using Google Analytics, our website uses the extension ‘_gat._anonymizeIp’. In doing so, Google shortens and anonymises your IP address before transferring it to Member States of the European Union or to countries party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Google uses this information to analyse your use of our site, to compile reports for us on internet activity and to provide other services relating to website and internet usage. Google may also transfer this information to third parties where required to do so by law, or where such third parties process the information on Google's behalf.
Google declares that it will never link your IP address to other data held by Google. You can prevent cookies from being installed by adjusting your browser software settings accordingly. However, you should note that this may not allow you to fully use all the features of our website. In addition, Google offers a deactivation add-on for most current browsers that gives you more control over what data Google can collect on websites you visit. The add-on tells the JavaScript (ga.js) used by Google Analytics not to send information about website visits to Google Analytics. However, the browser activation add-on provided by Google Analytics does not prevent information from being sent to us or to other web analytics services we may enable. You can find additional information about installing the browser add-on at the following link:

It is possible that third-party content such as, for example, YouTube videos, map images from Google Maps, RSS feeds or images from other websites may be integrated within the scope of our website. This always means that the providers of this content (hereinafter referred to as ‘third-party providers’) detect the user's IP address, because without the IP address they cannot send the content to the browser of the respective user. This means that the IP address is required to display such content. We make efforts to use only content whose providers use the IP address only for content delivery, but we have no way of ensuring that third-party providers do not store the IP address for statistical purposes.
We collect and process your application data electronically for the purpose of processing the application procedure. If an employment contract is concluded on the basis of your application, we will store your forwarded data in your personnel file for the purpose of the usual organisational and management process in accordance with the relevant legal regulations. If your application is rejected, deletion of the data you have submitted will start automatically two months after notification of the rejection. This does not apply if longer retention is necessary due to legal requirements (e.g. the burden of proof according to the ‘General Equal Treatment Act’), or if you have expressly agreed to longer retention in our prospect database.
In the Netherlands, the ‘Algemene Verordening Gegevensbescherming (AVG)’ gives you the right to free information about your stored data and, if necessary, the right to correction, blocking or deletion of this data.
On our website, we offer the possibility of contacting us by e-mail and/or via a contact form. In this case, the data you provide will be stored for the purpose of processing your contact. No transfer of data to third parties takes place. A comparison of the data collected with data possibly collected by other components of our site is also not possible.
If you have any further questions about our privacy policy, please contact us. If you have questions about the collection, processing or use of your personal data, or about the provision of information, correction, blocking or deletion of data, as well as the withdrawal of granted consent, please contact:
