There is a legitimate interest on our part in this data processing to ensure the security of our website and protect us from automated entries (attacks).

7.2 - Google Ads

We use the online advertising program Google Ads from Google Ireland Limited, through which we place advertisements on the Google search engine. When you access our website via a Google ad, Google sets a cookie on your device ("Conversion Cookie"). Each Google Ads customer is assigned a different conversion cookie, so the cookies cannot be tracked across websites of various Ads customers. The information obtained with the help of the cookie is used to generate conversion statistics. Thus, we learn the total number of users who have clicked on one of our Google ads. However, we do not receive any information that can personally identify users. Further information on this processing activity, the technologies used, data stored, and the duration of storage can be found in the settings of our Consent Management Tool. Processing only occurs with your consent in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR. You can revoke your consent via our Consent Management Tool. Data transfer to Google Inc. in the USA cannot be excluded in the case of Google services. Please note the information in the section "Data Transfer to Third Countries." Further information on data protection at Google can be found in Google's privacy policy, currently accessible at: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy

7.3 - Microsoft Ads

We use the service Microsoft Advertising (formerly Bing Ads) from Microsoft Ireland Operations Limited (Ireland/EU) on our website. Microsoft Advertising is an online marketing service that helps us to display targeted advertisements via the search engine Microsoft Bing using the Universal Event Tracking (UET) tool.

7.4 - LinkedIn Ads

We use the LinkedIn Insight Tag on our website, a marketing service provided by LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company (Ireland/EU). The LinkedIn Insight Tag is a snippet of JavaScript code that triggers when you visit our website and stores a cookie on your device. This allows us to evaluate conversions, i.e., to gather data on visits to our website, including URL, referrer URL, IP address, device and browser characteristics (User Agent), and timestamp. IP addresses are either shortened or hashed (if used to reach members across devices). LinkedIn does not provide us with personal data but rather supplies reports (in which you are not identified) on the audience of the website and ad performance. This enables us to measure the effectiveness of LinkedIn ads for statistical and market research purposes. Direct identifiers of members are removed by LinkedIn within seven days to anonymise the data, which LinkedIn then deletes after 180 days.

Further information on these processing activities, the technologies used, the data stored, and the retention period can be found in the settings of our Consent Management Tool. The use of LinkedIn services occurs only with your consent in accordance with Art.6 Abs.1 Article a GDPR.

Data transfer to LinkedIn Inc. in the USA cannot be excluded. Please refer to the "Data Transfer to Third Countries" section for more information. Further information on data protection at LinkedIn is currently available at https://www.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy.

7.5 - Google Tag Manager

We use Google Tag Manager by Google Ireland Limited. Google Tag Manager allows us to manage our website tags via an interface. It is a cookie-less domain that does not collect personal data. Google Tag Manager only triggers other tags which may collect data themselves without accessing the data directly. If deactivation has been set at the domain or cookie level (e.g., via the Consent Management Tool), it remains in place for all tracking tags implemented with Google Tag Manager.

7.6 - Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited (Ireland/EU), on our website. Google Analytics uses cookies to enable an analysis of your use of our website. This involves processing personal data in the form of online identifiers (including cookie identifiers), IP addresses, device identifiers, and information about interactions with our website. Some of this data is stored on your device.

Furthermore, other information is also stored on your device via the cookies used. Such storage of information by Google Analytics or access to information already stored on your device only occurs with your consent.

Google Ireland processes this data on our behalf to evaluate the use of our website by users, compile reports on activities within our website, and provide other services related to the use of our website and the internet. User pseudonymisation profiles can be created from the processed data.

We use Google Analytics only with IP anonymisation activated. This means that the IP address of the users is shortened within member states of the European Union or other parties to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. The IP address provided by your browser is not merged with other data from Google.

Data on user actions are stored for 14 months and then automatically deleted. All other event data are stored for 2 months and then automatically deleted. Data whose storage period has expired is deleted automatically once a month.

Further details on this processing activity, the technologies used, the data stored, and the retention period can be found in the settings of our Consent Management Tool.

The setting of cookies and the further processing of personal data described here occurs with your consent. Therefore, the legal basis for data processing associated with Google Analytics is Art. 6 Abs. 1 GDPR. You can revoke your consent via our Consent Management Tool.

Data transmission to Google Inc. in the USA cannot be ruled out. Please see the "Data Transfer to Third Countries" section for more information. Further details on data protection at Google can currently be found at https://www.google.com/policies/privacy.

By sending newsletters with CleverReach, we can analyse the behaviour of the newsletter recipients. We can determine how many recipients have opened the newsletter message and how often each link in the newsletter has been clicked. With conversion tracking, we can analyse whether a predefined action (e.g., purchasing a product on our website) occurred after clicking a link in the newsletter.

The data processing is based on your consent (Art. 6 Abs. 1 lit. a GDPR). You can revoke this consent at any time by unsubscribing from the newsletter.

More information is currently available at https://www.cleverreach.com/de/datenschutz/.

The registration for our newsletter takes place in a so-called double opt-in procedure. You will receive an email after registering in which you can confirm your subscription. This confirmation is necessary to prevent someone from registering with an email address that is not their own.

The registration and confirmation time, as well as the IP address, are logged to be able to prove the registration process. Changes in the data stored by the shipping service provider are also logged. To subscribe to the newsletter, your email address is sufficient.

The legal basis for sending the newsletter and the associated performance measurement is your consent according to Art. 6 Abs. 1 lit. a) GDPR. The logging of the registration process is based on our legitimate interests according to Art. 6 Abs. 1 lit. f) GDPR. The purpose is to use a user-friendly and secure newsletter system that meets the expectations of users and allows us to prove consents.

The data is deleted once it is no longer necessary for achieving the purpose for which it was collected. User and event level data deletion occurs no later than 14 months after their collection. You can revoke your consent for the processing of personal data by trbo for the aforementioned purposes at any time with effect for the future or change your selected preferences. To do this, revisit the cookie settings through this link [Embed hyperlink to cookie settings].

We have entered into a data processing agreement with trbo, in which we require the provider to protect the data of our customers and not to disclose it to third parties.

Further information on data protection at trbo can be found here: https://www.trbo.com/datenschutz/

7.12 ADCELL Affiliate Programme

We participate in the affiliate programme of Firstlead GmbH, Rosenfelder St. 15-16, 10315 Berlin, Germany. As part of this programme, we have included links on our website that lead to offers on the provider's websites or other partner sites. To measure the success of an affiliate link, evaluate orders generated via such links, and manage commission payments, the provider uses cookies and/or similar technologies. These are generally placed on the partner sites and therefore fall under the provider’s data protection responsibility. In this context, the provider regularly processes the IP address and, if applicable, additional information about the device used. The processing described above, particularly the reading or storing of information on your device, occurs only if you have expressly given your consent in accordance with Article 6(1)(a) GDPR. You can withdraw your consent at any time with future effect by using the cookie consent management options on the partner sites.

Right to restriction of processing according to Art. 18 GDPR

You have the right to request the restriction of processing of your personal data as long as the accuracy of the data which you dispute is being verified, if you refuse deletion of your data due to unauthorised data processing and instead request the restriction of the use of your data, if you need your data for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims after we no longer need this data after achieving the purpose, or if you have lodged an objection for reasons of your particular situation, as long as it has not yet been determined whether our legitimate reasons outweigh yours.

Right to information according to Art. 19 GDPR

If you have asserted the right to correction, deletion or restriction of processing against the controller, he/she is obliged to inform all recipients to whom the personal data concerning you has been disclosed of this correction or deletion of the data or restriction of processing, unless this proves to be impossible or involves a disproportionate effort.
