    1. Objective and responsible body

    This Privacy Policy explains the nature, scope and purpose of the processing (including collection, processing and use and obtaining consent) of personal data within our online offerings and related web pages, features and content (collectively referred to as the “Online Offer” or “Website”). The data protection declaration applies regardless of the domains, systems, platforms and devices used (e.g. desktop or mobile) on which the online offer is carried out.

    The provider of the online offer and the body responsible for data protection is Grönheit & Weigel GmbH Load Securing Systems, Owner: Ralf Grönheit, Holger Weigel, Thorsten Seuren, Tempelsweg 44, 47918 Toenisvorst (hereinafter referred to as “provider”, “we” or “us”). Please refer to our imprint for contact details.

    The term “user” includes all customers and visitors to our online offer. The terms used, such as “user”, are to be understood as gender-neutral.

    2. Basic information on data processing

    We only process users’ personal data in accordance with the relevant data protection regulations in accordance with the principles of data saving and data avoidance. This means that user data will only be processed if legal consent has been obtained, in particular if the data is necessary for the provision of our contractual services and online services, or if required by law, or if consent has been obtained.

    We take organisational, contractual and technical security measures in accordance with the state of the art to ensure compliance with the provisions of data protection law and to protect the data processed by us against accidental or deliberate manipulation, loss, destruction or access by unauthorised persons.

    If content, instruments or other means of other providers (hereinafter collectively referred to as “third party providers”) are used within the scope of this data protection declaration and their registered office is located abroad, it must be assumed that a data transfer to the countries of establishment of the third party providers takes place. The transfer of data to third countries takes place on the basis of a legal authorisation, user consent or special contractual provisions guaranteeing the security of the data required by law.

    3. The processing of personal data

    In addition to the use expressly mentioned in this data protection declaration, personal data will be processed for the following purposes on the basis of legal or user consent:
    – Providing, performing, maintaining, optimising and securing our services and user benefits;
    – Ensuring effective customer service and technical support.

    We only pass on user data to third parties if this is necessary for billing purposes (e.g. to a payment service provider) or for other purposes if these are necessary to fulfil our contractual obligations towards users (e.g. address communication to suppliers).

    When you contact us (via the contact form or e-mail), the user’s data is stored for the purpose of processing the request and in the event of follow-up questions.
    Personal data will be deleted as long as they have fulfilled their purpose and there are no storage obligations to prevent deletion.

    4. Collection of access data

    We collect information about any access to the server on which this service is located (so-called server log files). The access data includes the name of the website visited, the file, the date and time of access, the amount of data transferred, the notification of successful access, the browser type and version, the user’s operating system, the referring URL (the previously visited page), the IP address and the requesting provider.

    We use the protocol data without attribution to the person of the user or other profile creation according to the legal regulations only for statistical evaluations for the purpose of operation, security and optimization of our online offer. However, we reserve the right to check the log data afterwards if there is a well-founded suspicion of illegal use based on concrete indications.

    5. Cookies & range measurement

    Cookies are pieces of information that are transferred from our web server or third party web servers to the user’s web browser and stored there for later retrieval. The user is informed about the use of cookies in the context of the pseudonymous range measurement within the framework of this data protection declaration.

    Viewing this online offer is also possible with the exclusion of cookies. If users do not want cookies to be stored on their computer, they will be asked to deactivate the corresponding option in their browser’s system settings. Stored cookies can be deleted in the system settings of the browser. The exclusion of cookies may lead to functional limitations of this online offer.

    It is possible to manage many companies’ online advertising cookies via the US website http://www.aboutads.info/choices or the EU website http://www.youronlinechoices.com/uk/your-ad-choices/.

    6. Google Analytics

    We use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc. (“Google”). Google uses cookies. The information generated by the cookie about the user’s use of the website is generally transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there.

    Google will use this information on our behalf for the purpose of evaluating the use of our website by users, compiling reports on website activity for website operators and providing other services relating to website activity and internet usage. Pseudonymous user profiles can be created from the processed data.

    We only use Google Analytics with activated IP anonymisation. This means that the user’s IP address is truncated by Google within the member states of the European Union or in other treaty states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be sent to a Google server in the USA and truncated there.

    The IP address transmitted by the user’s browser will not be merged with other Google data.

    The user may refuse the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on his browser, he may refuse the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on his browser, he may refuse the processing of personal data by Google, and he may refuse the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on his browser, and he may refuse the processing of such data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plugin available via the following link: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en.

    More information on the use of data for advertising purposes by Google, settings and objection options can be found on Google’s websites: https://www.google.com/intl/de/policies/privacy/partners (“Use of data by Google for your use of our partners’ websites or apps”), http://www.google.com/policies/technologies/ads (“Use of data for advertising purposes”), http://www.google.de/settings/ads (“Management of the information Google uses to display advertising to you”) and http://www.google.com/ads/preferences (“Determine what advertising Google displays to you”).

    7. Google-Re/Marketing-Services

    We use the marketing and remarketing services (“Google Marketing Services”) of Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (“Google”).

    Google’s marketing services allow us to better target ads for and on our website in order to show users only ads that may match their interests. For example, if users see advertisements for products in which they are interested on other websites, they are referred to as “remarketing. When you visit our and other web pages on which Google marketing services are active, Google directly executes a Google code for these purposes and processes (re)marketing tags (invisible graphics or codes, also called “web beacons”) in the web page. With their help, an individual cookie, i.e. a small file, is stored on the user’s device (similar technologies may also be used instead of cookies). Cookies can be set by various domains, including google.com, doubleclick.net, invitemedia.com, admeld.com, googlesyndication.com and googleadservices.com. This file indicates which websites the user visits, what content he is interested in and what content he has clicked, further technical information about the browser and operating system, referring websites, visit time and further information about the use of the online offer. The user’s IP address is also recorded, whereby we inform Google Analytics that the IP address will be shortened within the member states of the European Union or in other treaty states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area and only in exceptional cases will it be transferred in full to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. The IP address will not be merged with user data in other Google services. The above information may also be linked to such information from other sources. If the user subsequently visits other websites, advertisements tailored to the user’s interests may be displayed.

    The user data is processed within the framework of the Google Marketing Services pseudonym. This means, for example, that Google does not store and process the user’s name or e-mail address, but that Google processes the relevant data relating to cookies within pseudonymous user profiles. This means that, from Google’s point of view, the advertisements are not managed and displayed for a specifically identified person, but for the cookie holder, regardless of who this cookie holder is. This does not apply if a user has explicitly given Google permission to process the data without this pseudonymisation. The information that DoubleClick collects about users is transferred to Google and stored on Google’s servers in the United States.

    One of the Google marketing services we use is the online advertising program “Google AdWords”. In the case of Google AdWords, each AdWords customer receives a different “conversion cookie”. Cookies can therefore not be tracked via the websites of AdWords customers. The information collected via the cookie is used to generate conversion statistics for AdWords customers who have opted for conversion tracking. AdWords customers learn the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a page with a conversion tracking tag. However, you will not receive information that identifies users personally.

    We use Google’s DoubleClick marketing service to include third-party advertisements. DoubleClick uses cookies to enable Google and its affiliate sites to serve ads based on users’ visits to this site and other sites on the Internet.

    We also include third-party advertisements based on Google’s AdSense marketing service. AdSense uses cookies to enable Google and its affiliate sites to serve ads based on users’ visits to this site or other sites on the Internet.

    Another Google marketing service we use is the “Google Tag Manager”, which can be used to integrate other Google analytics and marketing services into our website (e.g., “AdWords”, “DoubleClick” or “Google Analytics”). Further information on the use of the data by Google for marketing purposes can be found on the overview page: https://www.google.com/policies/technologies/ads, Google’s data protection statement can be found at https://www.google.com/policies/privacy .

    If you wish to unsubscribe from Google marketing services, you can use the opt-out and setting options offered by Google: http://www.google.com/ads/preferences.

    We use the Google reCaptcha service to determine whether a person or computer makes a particular entry in our contact or newsletter form. Google uses the following data to determine whether you are a human being or a computer: IP address of the terminal device used, the website you visit on our site and on which the captcha is embedded, the date and duration of the visit, the identification data of the browser and operating system type used, the Google account if you are logged in to Google, mouse movements on the reCaptcha areas and tasks for which you need to identify images. The legal basis for the data processing described is Article 6(1)(f) of the basic data protection regulation. We have a legitimate interest in this data processing in order to ensure the security of our website and to protect ourselves against automated input (attacks).

    8. Integration of third party services and content

    Third party content or services, such as city maps or fonts from other websites, may be integrated into our online offerings. For the integration of the content of third party providers it is always necessary that the third party providers detect the IP address of the users, because without the IP address they would not be able to send the content to the user’s browser. The IP address is therefore required for the presentation of this content. In addition, the third-party content providers can set their own cookies and process user data for their own purposes. User profiles can be created on the basis of the processed data. We will use this content as much as possible to save and avoid data and select reliable external providers with regard to data security.

    The following presentation gives an overview of third party providers and their content, together with links to their data protection declarations, which contain more information on the processing of data and, in some cases already mentioned here, possible objections (the so-called opt-out):

    Google external fonts, Inc., https://www.google.com/fonts (“Google Fonts”). The integration of Google Fonts takes place via a server call at Google (usually in the U.S.).
    Privacy Policy: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/
    Opt-Out: https://www.google.com/settings/ads/.
    Maps from the “Google Maps” service of external provider Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.
    Privacy Policy: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/
    Opt-Out: https://www.google.com/settings/ads/.
    Videos from the “YouTube” platform of Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.
    Privacy Policy: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/
    Opt-Out: https://www.google.com/settings/ads/.

    9. Social-Share-Buttons

    The original share buttons automatically send information about their own visitors to the social networks. It is not necessary to actively click any of the buttons, but this already happens when the page is opened in the background. Users have no choice to send information to Facebook and Co. or not.

    On the other hand, we use the “Shariff”, developed by the German computer magazine c’t, which allows buttons to be integrated for components that meet the requirements of the basic data protection regulation (DSGVO – Directive (EU) 2016/679).

    More information about the Shariff project can be found in the original Github project or on the information page of the c’t magazine.

    10. User rights and deletion of data

    The user has the right, on request and free of charge, to obtain information about the personal data we have stored about him or her.
    In addition, users have the right to have inaccurate data corrected, to withdraw their consent, to have their personal data blocked or deleted and the right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority in the event that it is assumed that unlawful data processing has taken place.

    The data stored by us will be deleted as soon as they are no longer necessary for the purpose for which they are intended and there is no legal obligation to retain them.

    11. Amendments to the data protection declaration

    We reserve the right to amend the data protection declaration in order to adapt it to changed legal situations or in the event of changes to the service or data processing. However, this only applies to data processing declarations. If the consent of the user is required or if elements of the data protection declaration contain provisions governing the contractual relationship with the user, the changes will only be made with the consent of the user.
    The user is requested to inform himself regularly about the contents of the data protection declaration.
