Definitions
Our privacy policy is intended to be simple and understandable for everyone. In this privacy policy, the official terms of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) are generally used. The official definitions are explained in Art. 4 GDPR.
Access to and storage of information in terminal equipment
By using our website, information (e.g. IP address) may be accessed or stored (e.g. cookies) in your terminal equipment. This access or storage may involve further processing of personal data within the meaning of the GDPR. In cases where such access to information or such storage of information is absolutely necessary for the technically error-free provision of our services, this is done on the basis of Section 25 (1) Sentence 1, (2) No. 2 TTDSG. In cases where such a process serves other purposes (e.g. the needs-based design of our website), this will only be carried out on the basis of Section 25 (1) TTDSG with your consent in accordance with Article 6 (1) a GDPR. The consent can be revoked at any time for the future. For more information on the processing of your personal data and the relevant legal basis in this context, please refer to the following sections on the specific processing activities on our website.
Webhosting
This website is hosted by an external service provider (windCORES). The hosting of this website takes place in Germany. Personal data collected on this website is stored on the hoster’s servers. This may include, but is not limited to, IP addresses, contact requests, meta and communication data, website accesses and other data generated via a website. We have concluded an order processing agreement with the provider in accordance with the requirements of Art. 28 GDPR, in which we oblige the provider to protect our customers‘ data and not to pass it on to third parties.
Cookies
Our website uses so-called „cookies“. Cookies are small text files that are stored either temporarily for the duration of a session (session cookies) or permanently (permanent cookies) on your terminal device. Session cookies are automatically deleted at the end of your visit. Permanent cookies remain stored on your terminal device until you delete them yourself or an automatic solution is provided by your web browser. Cookies have various functions. Many cookies are technically necessary, as certain website functions would not work without them (e.g. the shopping cart function or language settings). Other cookies are used to evaluate user behavior or to display advertising. Technically necessary cookies are stored on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. We have a legitimate interest in storing cookies for the technically error-free and optimized provision of our services. Other cookies are only stored with your consent on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. The consent can be revoked at any time for the future. The legal basis may also arise from Art. 6 (1) lit. b GDPR if the processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, or for the performance of pre-contractual measures taken at the request of the data subject. Insofar as cookies are used for analysis purposes, we will inform you separately about this within the scope of this data protection declaration and obtain your consent. You can set your browser so that you
- be informed about the setting of cookies,
- allow cookies only in individual cases,
- exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general,
- activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser.
The cookie settings can be managed under the following links for the respective browsers:
You can also manage cookies of many companies and functions used for advertising individually. To do this, use the corresponding user tools, available at https://optout.aboutads.info/?…. Most browsers also offer a so-called „Do-Not-Track“ function. When this function is activated, the respective browser tells advertising networks, websites and applications that you do not want to be „tracked“ for the purpose of behavior-based advertising and the like. For information and instructions on how to edit this feature, depending on your browser provider, see the links below:
Additionally, you can prevent loading of so-called scripts by default. „NoScript allows JavaScripts, Java and other plug-ins to run only on trusted domains of your choice. Information and instructions on how to edit this function can be obtained from the provider of your browser (e.g. for Mozilla Firefox at: https://addons.mozilla.org/de/…).
Please note that if you disable cookies, the functionality of our website may be limited.
We use the „Real Cookie Banner“ consent tool to manage the cookies and similar technologies used (tracking pixels, web beacons, etc.) and the relevant consents. Details on how „Real Cookie Banner“ works can be found at https://devowl.io/de/rcb/datenverarbeitung/.
The legal basis for the processing of personal data in this context is Art. 6 (1) (c) GDPR and Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest is the management of the cookies and similar technologies used and the relevant consents.
The provision of personal data is neither contractually required nor necessary for the conclusion of a contract. You are not obliged to provide the personal data. If you do not provide the personal data, we cannot manage your consents.
Change cookie settings
You can revoke or change your cookie settings at any time. To do so, call up the cookie settings again via our „Manage Consent“ link. You can find this at any time at the left bottom of the website.
Google Analytics
Our website uses Google Analytics, an internet analysis service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland („Google“). Google Analytics uses so-called „cookies“. Google will use this information on behalf of the operator of this website for the purpose of evaluating your use of the website, and compiling reports on website activity. Google will also use this information to provide the website operator with other services related to the use of the website and the Internet. The IP address sent by your browser as part of Google Analytics is not combined with other data from Google. The processing is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR on the basis of the consent given by you. We use Google Analytics only with IP anonymization enabled. This means that your IP address is only processed by Google in a shortened form. We have concluded an order processing agreement with the service provider in which we oblige it to protect our customers‘ data and not to pass it on to third parties. Since a transfer of personal data to the USA takes place, further protection mechanisms are required to ensure the level of data protection of the GDPR. To ensure this, we have agreed standard data protection clauses with the provider in accordance with Art. 46 (2) lit. c GDPR. These oblige the recipient of the data in the USA to process the data in accordance with the level of protection in Europe. In cases where this cannot be ensured even by this contractual extension, we endeavor to obtain additional regulations and commitments from the recipient in the USA. The terms of use of Google Analytics and information on data protection can be accessed via the following links: http://www.google.com/analytic…, https://www.google.de/intl/de/... The data is deleted as soon as it is no longer required to achieve the purpose for which it was collected. Deletion of user-level and event-level data associated with cookies, user identifiers (e.g., User ID), and advertising IDs (e.g., DoubleClick cookies, Android advertising ID, IDFA [Apple identifier for advertisers]) occurs no later than 38 months after collection. You can prevent cookies from being stored by adjusting the settings of your browser software accordingly. However, we would like to point out that in this case you may not be able to use all functions of this website without restrictions. You can also prevent Google from collecting the data generated by the cookie and from analyzing your use of the website (including your IP address) and processing this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at https://tools.google.com/dlpag….
