Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

With the following information, we would like to give you as a “data subject” an overview of the processing of your personal data by us and your rights under data protection laws. It is possible to use our website without entering personal data. However, if you wish to make use of special services of our company via our website, it may be necessary to process personal data. If the processing of personal data is necessary and there is no legal basis for such processing, we will ask for your consent.

The processing of personal data, such as your name, address or e-mail address, is always carried out in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and in accordance with the country-specific data protection regulations applicable to our company. By means of this privacy policy, we would like to inform you about the scope and purpose of the personal data we collect, use and process when you access our website.

As the controller, we have implemented numerous technical and organizational measures to ensure the highest protection possible for personal data processed via this website. Nevertheless, Internet-based data transmissions may have security gaps, so that absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, you are free to transmit personal data to us by alternative means, for example by telephone or post.

You can also take simple measures to protect yourself against unauthorized access to your data by third parties. We would therefore like to give you some advice on how to handle your data securely:

  • Protect your account (login, user or customer account) and your IT system (computer, laptop, tablet or mobile device) with secure passwords.
  • Only you should have access to the passwords. Make sure that you only ever use your passwords for one account (login, user or customer account).
  • Do not use the same password for different websites, applications or online services.
  • The following applies in particular when using publicly accessible IT systems or IT systems shared with other people: You should always log out after logging in to a website, application or online service.

Passwords should consist of at least 12 characters and be chosen in such a way that they cannot be easily guessed. Therefore, they should not contain common everyday words, your own name or the names of relatives, but should contain upper and lower case letters, numbers and special characters.

4. Legal basis of the processing

Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR (in conjunction with § 25 para. 1 TTDSG) serves our company as the legal basis for processing operations for which we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose.

If the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which you are a party, as is the case, for example, with processing operations that are necessary for the delivery of goods or the provision of another service or consideration, the processing is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b) GDPR. The same applies to such processing operations that are necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures, for example in cases of inquiries about our products or services.

If our company is subject to a legal obligation which requires the processing of personal data, such as for the fulfillment of tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c) GDPR.

In rare cases, it may be necessary to process personal data in order to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor were injured in our company and his or her name, age, health insurance data or other vital information would have to be passed on to a doctor, hospital or other third party. The processing would then be based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. d) GDPR.

Ultimately, processing operations could be based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. This legal basis is used for processing operations which are not covered by any of the abovementioned legal grounds, if processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by our company or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject which require protection of personal data. We are permitted to carry out such processing operations in particular because they have been specifically mentioned by the European legislator. In this respect, it took the view that a legitimate interest could be assumed if you are a customer of our company (Recital 47 Sentence 2 GDPR).

 

5. Transmission of data to third parties

Your personal data will not be transferred to third parties for purposes other than those listed below.

We only pass on your personal data to third parties if:

  1. you have given us your express consent to do so in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR,
  2. the disclosure is permitted in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR to protect our legitimate interests and there is no reason to assume that you have an overriding interest worthy of protection in not disclosing your data,
  3. in the event that a legal obligation exists for the disclosure pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c) GDPR, and
  4. this is legally permissible and necessary for the processing of contractual relationships with you in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b) GDPR.

As part of the processing operations described in this privacy policy, personal data may be transferred to the USA. Companies in the USA only have an adequate level of data protection if they have certified themselves under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework and thus the adequacy decision of the EU Commission pursuant to Art. 45 GDPR applies. We have explicitly stated this for the service providers concerned in the privacy policy. In order to protect your data in all other cases, we have concluded data processing agreements based on the European Commission’s standard contractual clauses. If the standard contractual clauses are not sufficient to establish an adequate level of security, your consent may serve as the legal basis for the transfer to third countries in accordance with Art. 49 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR. This may not apply in the case of data transfer to third countries for which the European Commission has issued an adequacy decision pursuant to Art. 45 GDPR.

6. Technology

 

6.1 SSL/TLS encryption

This site uses SSL or TLS encryption to ensure the security of data processing and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders, login data or contact requests that you send to us as the operator. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the “https://” in the address line of the browser instead of “http://” and by the lock symbol in your browser line.

We use this technology to protect your transmitted data.

 

6.2 Data processing when visiting the website

If you only use our website for informational purposes, if you do not register or provide us with information or do not give your consent to processing that requires consent, we only collect data that is technically necessary for the provision of the service. This is regularly data that your browser transmits to our server (“in so-called server log files”). Our website collects a range of general data and information each time you accesse a Site. This general data and information is stored in the server log files. The following can be recorded:

  1. browser types and versions used,
  2. the operating system used by the accessing system,
  3. the website from which an accessing system reaches our website (so-called referrer)
  4. the sub-websites that are accessed via an accessing system on our website,
  5. the date and time of access to the website,
  6. a shortened Internet Protocol address (anonymized IP address) and,
  7. the Internet service provider of the accessing system.

When using this general data and information, we do not draw any conclusions about your person. Rather, this information is required in order to

  1. to deliver the content of our website correctly,
  2. optimize the content of our website and the advertising for it,
  3. to ensure the long-term functionality of our IT systems and the technology of our website, and
  4. to provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for prosecution in the event of a cyber-attack.

This collected data and information is therefore evaluated by us both statistically and with the aim of increasing data protection and data security in our company in order to ultimately ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data processed. The anonymous data of the server log files are stored separately from all personal data provided by a data subject.

The legal basis for data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest follows from the data collection purposes listed above.

 

6.3 Hosting by All-Inkl

We host our website at ALL-INKL.COM – Neue Medien Münnich, Inh. René Münnich, Hauptstraße 68, 02742 Friedersdorf (hereinafter referred to as All-Inkl).

The use of All-Inkl is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. We have a legitimate interest in the most reliable presentation, provision and security of our website.

We have concluded a data processing agreement (DPA) with All-Inkl in accordance with Art. 28 GDPR.

7. Cookies

 

7.1 General information on cookies

Cookies are small files that your browser creates automatically and that are stored on your IT system (laptop, tablet, smartphone, etc.) when you visit our website.

The information stored in the cookie that results from the connection with the specific end device used. However, this does not mean that we obtain direct knowledge of your identity.

The use of cookies serves to make the use of our website more pleasant for you. For example, we use so-called session cookies to recognize that you have already visited individual pages of our website. These are automatically deleted after you leave our site.

In addition, we also use temporary cookies to optimize user-friendliness, which are stored on your end device for a specified period of time. If you visit our site again to use our services, it is automatically recognized that you have already visited us and which entries and settings you have made so that you do not have to enter them again.

On the other hand, we use cookies to statistically record the use of our website and to evaluate our offer for you for the purpose of optimization. These cookies enable us to automatically recognize that you have already visited our website when you visit it again. The cookies set in this way are automatically deleted after a defined period of time. The respective storage duration of the cookies can be found in the settings of the consent tool used.

 

7.2 Borlabs Cookie (Consent Management Tool)

We use the WordPress cookie plugin “Borlabs Cookie” from Borlabs GmbH, Rübenkamp 32, 22305 Hamburg, Germany. This service enables us to obtain and manage the consent of website users for data processing.

Borlabs Cookie uses cookies to collect data generated by end users who use our website. When an end user gives consent, the following data, among others, is automatically logged:

  • Cookie lifetime,
  • Cookie version,
  • Domain and path of the WordPress page,
  • Selection in the cookie banner,
  • UID (a randomly generated ID),

The consent status is also stored in the end user’s browser so that the website can automatically read and follow the end user’s consent in all subsequent page requests and future end user sessions for up to 12 months. The consent data (consent and withdrawal of consent) is stored for three years. The retention period corresponds to the regular limitation period pursuant to Section 195 of the German Civil Code (BGB). The data will then be deleted immediately.

The functionality of the website is not guaranteed without the described processing. The user has no right to object as long as there is a legal obligation to obtain the user’s consent to certain data processing operations, Art. 7 para. 1, 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. c) GDPR.

The data collected will not be forwarded to Borlabs GmbH, nor will Borlabs GmbH have access to it.

The legal basis for the processing of the data is our legitimate interest in responding to your request in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. If your contact is aimed at concluding a contract, the additional legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b) GDPR. Your data will be deleted after final processing of your request; this is the case if it can be inferred from the circumstances that the matter in question has been finally clarified and the deletion does not conflict with any statutory retention obligations.

9. Newsletter dispatch

 

9.1 Newsletter tracking

Our newsletters contain so-called tracking pixels. A tracking pixel is a small graphic that is embedded in emails that are sent in HTML format to enable log file recording and log file analysis. This allows a statistical evaluation of the success or failure of online marketing campaigns to be carried out. Based on the embedded tracking pixel, the company can recognize whether and when an e-mail was opened by you and which links in the e-mail were called up.

Personal data collected via the tracking pixels contained in the newsletters are stored and evaluated by us in order to optimize the newsletter dispatch and to adapt the content of future newsletters even better to your interests. This personal data will not be passed on to third parties. Data subjects are entitled at any time to withdraw the separate declaration of consent given in this regard via the double opt-in procedure. After the withdrawal, this personal data will be deleted by us. Unsubscribing from the newsletter is automatically interpreted as a withdrawal.

Such an evaluation is carried out in particular in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interests in the display of personalized advertising, market research and/or demand-oriented design of our website.

 

9.2 Mautic

We use the newsletter tool Mautic.

In order to optimize the design of our newsletter for our customers and business partners, we use tracking to evaluate the open rate and click rate when reading news from nexoma.

In addition, website visits by our newsletter subscribers are logged in Mautic on a personal basis if consent has been given via the cookie consent banner.

The following personal data is collected:

  • First name,
  • Surname,
  • E-mail address,
  • Click rate,
  • Newsletter openings,
  • Time of the opt-in/double opt-in,
  • Consent for tracking/newsletter dispatch and
  • Website visits.

You can unsubscribe at any time by using the unsubscribe link in the newsletter. The newsletter program is hosted on our own server. We have concluded a data processing agreement (DPA) with our IT service provider in accordance with Art. 28 GDPR.

The legal basis for sending the newsletter and for the evaluation of newsletter tracking is your consent pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR.

 

10 Our activities in social networks

To ensure communication with you on social networks and inform you about our services, we have our own pages there. If you visit one of our social media pages, we are jointly responsible with the provider of the respective social media platform for the processing operations triggered by this, within the meaning of Art. 26 GDPR.

We are not the original provider of these pages, but only use them within the scope of the possibilities offered to us by the respective providers.

As a precautionary measure, we would therefore like to point out that your data may also be processed outside the European Union or the European Economic Area. Use may therefore be associated with data protection risks for you, as it may be more difficult to safeguard your rights, e.g. to information, deletion, objection, etc. In addition to that processing in social networks is often carried out directly for advertising purposes or for the analysis of user behavior by the providers without us being able to influence this. If user profiles are created by the provider, cookies are often used or the user behavior is assigned to your own social network member profile.

The described processing operations of personal data are carried out in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest and the legitimate interest of the respective provider in order to be able to communicate with you in a timely manner or to inform you about our services. If you have to give your consent to data processing as a user with the respective providers, the legal basis refers to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR in conjunction with Art. 7 GDPR. Art. 7 GDPR.

As we do not have access to the providers’ databases, we would like to point out that it is best to assert your rights (e.g. to information, correction, deletion, etc.) directly with the respective provider. Further information on the processing of your data in the social networks is provided below:

11. Web analysis

 

11.1 Meta Pixel (formerly Facebook Pixel)

This website uses the “Facebook pixel” of Meta Platforms, Inc, 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA (“Meta”). If explicit consent is given, this allows the behavior of users to be tracked after they have seen or clicked on a Facebook ad. This process is used to evaluate the effectiveness of Facebook ads for statistical and market research purposes and can help to optimize future advertising measures.

The data collected is anonymous to us and therefore does not allow us to draw conclusions about the identity of the user. However, the data is stored and processed by Meta so that a connection to the user profile is possible and Meta can use the data for its own advertising purposes in accordance with the Facebook Privacy Policy (https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/). This enables Meta and its partners to place advertisements on and off Facebook. A cookie may also be stored on your computer for these purposes.

These processing operations are only carried out if consent is given in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR.

This US company is certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework. This constitutes an adequacy decision pursuant to Art. 45 GDPR, meaning that personal data may be transferred without additional security measures.

 

11.2 Google Analytics Universal

On our websites we use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited (https://www.google.de/intl/de/about/), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (“Google”).

This information may also be transferred to third parties if this is required by law or if third parties process this data on our behalf. Under no circumstances will your IP address be merged with other Google data. The IP addresses are anonymized so that they cannot be assigned (IP masking).

You may refuse the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser, however, please note that if you do this you may not be able to use the full functionality of this website.

These processing operations are only carried out if consent is given in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR.

You can also prevent the collection of data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) and the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing a browser add-on (https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de).

12. Advertising

 

12.1 Google Ads with conversion tracking

We have integrated Google Ads on this website. The operating company of the Google Ads services is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. Google Ads is an internet advertising service that allows advertisers to place ads both in Google’s search engine results and in the Google advertising network. Google Ads allows an advertiser to predefine certain keywords that will be used to display an ad in Google’s search engine results only when the user uses the search engine to retrieve a keyword-relevant search result. In the Google advertising network, the ads are distributed on relevant websites using an automatic algorithm and taking into account the previously defined keywords.

The purpose of Google Ads is to promote our website by displaying selective advertising on the websites of third-party companies and in the search engine results of the Google search engine and by displaying third-party advertising on our website.

If you reach our website via a Google ad, a so-called conversion cookie is stored on your IT system. A conversion cookie loses its validity after thirty days and is not used to identify you. If the cookie has not yet expired, the conversion cookie is used to track whether certain sub-pages, such as the shopping cart from an online store system, have been accessed on our website. The conversion cookie enables both us and Google to track whether a user who has reached our website via an AdWords ad has generated sales, i.e. completed or abandoned a purchase.

The data and information collected through the use of the conversion cookie is used by Google to compile visit statistics for our website. These visit statistics are in turn used by us to determine the total number of users who were referred to us via Ads, i.e. to determine the success or failure of the respective ad and to optimize our advertisements for the future. Neither our company nor other Google Ads advertisers receive information from Google that could be used to identify you.

The conversion cookie is used to store personal information, such as the websites you have visited. Each time you visit our website, personal data, including the IP address of the Inter- net connection you are using, is therefore transmitted to Google in the United States of America. This personal data is stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may pass on this personal data to third parties.

These processing operations are only carried out if consent is given in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR.

Google LLC is certified as a US company under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework. This constitutes an adequacy decision pursuant to Art. 45 GDPR, meaning that personal data may be transferred without additional security measures.

You can view Google AdSense’s privacy policy and further information at: https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/.

 

12.2 LinkedIn Ads

We have integrated LinkedIn Ads on this website. The operating company of the service is LinkedIn Ireland, Wilton Plaza, Wilton Place, Dublin 2, Ireland.

We use this to advertise our company on the LinkedIn social network. For this purpose, LinkedIn places a cookie in the browser of your end device, which automatically enables selective advertising based on the websites you visit.

These processing operations are only carried out with your consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. Your data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer required to achieve the purpose or you withdraw your consent.

As part of processing via LinkedIn, data may be transferred to the USA and Singapore. The security of the transfer is regularly ensured by so-called standard contractual clauses, which guarantee that the processing of personal data is subject to a level of security that corresponds to that of the GDPR. If the standard contractual clauses are not sufficient to establish an adequate level of security, your consent will be obtained in accordance with Art. 49 para. 1 lit. a GDPR.

DoubleClick by Google transmits data to the DoubleClick server for example clicks or other activities. Each of these data transfers triggers a cookie request to your browser. If the browser accepts this request, DoubleClick places a cookie on your IT system. The purpose of the cookie is to optimize and display advertising.

14.1 Google Photos

We use the Google Photos service provided by Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA, to store images that are embedded on our website.

Embedding is the integration of specific third-party content (text, video or image data) that is provided by another website (Google Photos) and then appears on your own website (our website). An embed code is used for embedding. If we have integrated an embed code, the external content from Google Photos is displayed immediately by default as soon as one of our web pages is visited.

Your IP address is transmitted to Google Photos via the technical implementation of the embedding code that enables the display of images from Google Photos. Google Photos also records our website, the type of browser used, the browser language, the time and length of access. In addition, Google Photos may collect information about which of our subpages you have visited and which links you have clicked on, as well as other interactions you have carried out when visiting our site. This data may be stored and analyzed by Google Photos.

These processing operations are only carried out if consent has been granted in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR.

14.5 YouTube videos in extended data protection mode (YouTube NoCookies)

Some subpages of our website contain links to YouTube content. We are not responsible for the content of linked websites. However, if you follow a link to YouTube, we would like to point out that YouTube stores the data of its users (e.g. personal information, IP address) in accordance with its own data usage guidelines and uses it for business purposes.

The operating company of YouTube is YouTube, LLC, 901 Cherry Ave, San Bruno, CA 94066, USA.

We also embed videos stored on YouTube directly on some subpages of our website. With this integration, content from the YouTube website is displayed in parts of a browser window. When you call up a (sub)page of our website on which YouTube videos are integrated, a connection to the YouTube servers is established and the content is displayed on the website by notifying your browser.

The integration of YouTube content only happens in “extended data protection mode”. This is provided by YouTube and ensures that YouTube does not initially store any cookies on your device. However, when the relevant pages are accessed, the IP address and other data may be transmitted, i.e. which of our websites you have visited. This information cannot be assigned to you unless you have logged in or if you are permanently logged in to YouTube or another Google service before accessing the page. As soon as you start playing an embedded video by clicking on it, YouTube only stores cookies on your device through the extended data protection mode. The data does not contain any personally identifiable data, unless you are currently logged in to a Google service. The cookies can be prevented by making the appropriate browser settings and extensions.

Requesting the video also requires your consent to the placement of the cookie (Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a) GDPR).

YouTube is certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework. This constitutes an adequacy decision pursuant to Art. 45 GDPR, meaning that personal data may be transferred without additional security measures.
