Google Analytics: Privacy and Opt-out

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service provided by Google Ireland Limited ("Google"). Google Analytics uses "cookies", which are text files that are stored on your computer, to analyze how you use the website. The information generated by the cookie on your use of this website (pages viewed, behaviour on the website, approximate location, technical information, origin of the visit) will be transmitted to Google's servers in another member state of the EU or in the USA, where it is stored in aggregated form for 14 months.

In case of the transmission of information to Google's servers in the USA, IP-anonymization is first carried out on a server in a member state of the EU or EEA. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use the transmitted on behalf of the operator of this website to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activities and to perform further services for the website operator in connection with the use of the website and the Internet. The anonymized IP address, which is transmitted by your browser within the Google Analytics framework can be merged by Google with other data originating from an existing Google user account or the use of other Google products.

By downloading and installing the browser plugin available here: Browser add-on to deactivate Google Analytics, you can prevent Google from collecting the data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) to Google and the processing of this data by Google.

Use of social media

General information

  • Purpose of data processing: We use social media primarily to communicate with new and existing customers and to provide a wide audience with information about our company. In particular, we process contact and communication data for this purpose as well as data needed to measure the reach of the information we provide. Beyond this, the operator of the respective social media platform processes personal data for tracking (e.g. generation of user profiles based on usage behaviour or interests), remarketing (e.g. targeted advertisement by cooperation partners) and in order to be able to supply us with statistical analyses about the use of our service.
  • Data subjects: Generally all profile visitors, meaning individuals who access our profiles in social media.
  • Scope of data processing: For the purposes stated, we, or third parties commissioned by us, process personal data for the identification of the profile visitor (e.g. name, address), data necessary to contact the profile visitor (e.g. email, address, telephone number), data on usage behaviour (e.g. length of stay, websites accessed, content searched for, services used), technical data (e.g. IP addresses, devices and programmes used to access the website), the profile visitor's contents (e.g. texts, photos, videos) and also, subject to approval, data regarding the profile visitor's physical location.
    This personal data related to the profile visitor is merged in a user profile and stored as a file ("cookie") on the profile visitor's terminal device. Other websites may also access these user profiles occasionally in order to use the data they contain for the targeted selection of advertising content or to supplement such data. Additionally, the third-party providers who make social media and other tools for data processing available for marketing purposes can store the data contained in the user profiles on their servers.
  • Legal grounds for data processing: We process personal data due to our legitimate interest in communication and direct advertising in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR.
  • Data processing outside of the European Union: Sometimes, social media operators process data outside of the European Union.
  • Data subject rights: We ask profile visitors to exercise their right to be informed or any other data subject rights (e.g. erasure), where possible, by contacting the social media operators directly, because only the operators have unrestricted access to the processed data. Of course we will be happy to forward any data protection questions (e.g. information, correction, erasure) addressed to us to the respective social media operator.
    For more information on asserting your data subject rights, in particular regarding the existing options of objecting to the processing of your data, please refer to the respective social media operator's privacy policy.
  • Use of cookies: The user profiles are stored as a file ("cookie") on the profile visitor's terminal device. The saving of this file is subject to the profile visitor's consent which can be withdrawn at any time.

Marketing measures

General information

Purpose of data processing: Our website uses tools with which personal data can be processed for the specific purpose of aligning the display of advertising content to the website user's hypothetical interests, derived from individual patterns of use and to measure the reach of our advertising content.

Scope of data processing: For the purposes stated, we, or third parties commissioned by us, process personal data on the website visitor's usage behaviour (e.g. length of stay, websites accessed, content searched for, services used), technical data (e.g. masked IP addresses, devices and programmes used to access the website), and also, subject to approval, data regarding the website visitor's physical location.

This personal data related to the website visitor is merged in a user profile and stored as a file ("cookie") on the website visitor's terminal device. Other websites that use tools of this sort may also access these user profiles occasionally in order to use the data they contain for the targeted selection of advertising content and to supplement such data. Additionally, the third-party providers who make data processing tools available for marketing purposes can store the data contained in the user profiles on their servers.

Legal grounds for data processing: During the course of our processing of data, we disclose personal data to third-party providers only with the previous approval of the website visitor in line with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR. We process personal data that is not disclosed to third-party providers due to our legitimate interest in direct advertising in line with Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR.

Identity protection measures: The IP addresses contained in the user profiles are invariably masked by abbreviation, so that the IP address stored does not allow identification of the website user. As a general rule, we do not process any further personal data for the advertising purposes described above that allows identification of the website user (e.g. name or address of the website user).

However, data that allows identification of the website user may be merged with the user profiles if the website visitor also uses other services supplied by a third-party provider who provides data processing tools for marketing purposes (e.g. profiles in social media). The data is merged exclusively by the third-party provider and on the basis of any existing agreements between the website visitor and the third-party provider. Data merged in this manner is not provided to us in a way that would permit us to identify the website visitor.

Generally speaking, third-party providers only provide us with aggregated data which we use to measure the reach of our advertising content and the effectiveness of our advertising activities. In particular, we use this data to determine what advertising contents and activities precipitate a visit to our website ("conversion tracking").

Use of cookies: The user profiles are stored as a file ("cookie") on the website visitor's terminal device. The saving of this file is subject to the website visitor's consent which can be withdrawn at any time.

Tools used

Retargeting/Remarketing

This website uses retargeting services from the following provider: Google Ads Remarketing, a retargeting service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. Retargeting technology enables us to target visitors to our websites who are already interested in our products with personalised and interest-based advertising. The insertion of the advertising media is based on an analysis of the previous usage behaviour, which is determined using stored cookies. However, personal data is not stored. For you as a visitor, this means that when retargeting technology is used, a cookie, i.e. a small text file, is stored on your computer or mobile device in order to collect anonymous data about your interests and thus adapt the advertisement individually to the stored information. This allows you to view advertisements that are highly likely to match your product and information interests.

Google Analytics reports on demographics and interests

This website uses Google Analytics reports on demographic characteristics, in which data from interest-related advertising by Google and visitor data from third parties (e.g. interests, age, gender) are used. This data is anonymous and cannot be traced back to any specific person and can be deactivated in the ad settings.
