We are pleased that you are interested in our company and our products and services and would like you to feel secure when visiting our website with regard to the protection of your data. Because we take this very seriously. It goes without saying that we comply with the provisions of the European Data Protection Regulation (DS-GVO), the German Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG ) and the Telecommunications Telemedia Data Protection Act (TTDSG).
As part of our duty to inform, we would like to make this data protection declaration as transparent as possible. To this end, we set out below the purpose limitation of the processing of your data, the use of cookies, tracking/analytical tools, social media and other third-party services and inform you of your rights.
If, despite the following data protection information, any questions regarding the handling of your personal data remain unanswered, please feel free to contact us or our data protection officer (see below for contact details).
Responsible party
The
IngSoft GmbH represented by
Karsten Reese
Irrerstraße 17
90403 Nürnberg
Germany
Phone: +49 911 430879-0
E-mail: datenschutz@ingsoft.de
as the operator of the websites (www.ingsoft.com, interwatt.ingsoft.com & easypipe.ingsoft.com), is the responsible body (controller) within the meaning of the DS-GVO, which alone or jointly with others determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data, hereinafter "data".
Definitions
In order to make our data protection declaration easy for you to read and understand, we will explain the terminology used in advance.
"Personal data" are, according to Art. 4 No. 1 DS-GVO, all information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (data subject). An identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier (such as name, address, telephone number, e-mail address, IP address, location data or specific characteristics such as the genetic, economic and social identity of that natural person).
According to Art. 4 No. 2 DS-GVO, "processing" means any operation or set of operations which is performed upon data, whether or not by automatic means. This includes, in particular, collection, recording, organization, classification, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or making available, alignment, combination, restriction, erasure or destruction.
According to Art. 4 No. 11 DS-GVO, "consent" of the data subject means any freely given indication of his or her wishes in an informed and unambiguous manner, in the form of a statement or other unambiguous affirmative act by which the data subject signifies his or her agreement to the processing of personal data relating to him or her.
According to Art. 4 No. 8 DS-GVO, a "processor" is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body that processes personal data on behalf of the controller.
According to Section 2 (2) No. 6 TTDSG, a "terminal equipment" is any equipment connected directly or indirectly to the interface of a public telecommunications network for sending, processing or receiving messages (for example, a desktop PC, a cell phone or a tablet PC).
With regard to the other data protection terms used, we refer to the definitions of Art. 4 DS-GVO.
Scope of the processing of personal data
In order to use our website, it is generally not necessary for you to provide data. In certain cases, however, we need your name and address as well as other information so that we can provide the requested services.
The same applies, for example, to the sending of information material and ordered goods or to answer individual questions. Where this is necessary, we will inform you accordingly. In addition, we only process data that you provide to us voluntarily and, where applicable, data that we collect automatically when you visit our website.
If you make use of services, we generally only collect the data that we need to provide the services. If we ask you for further data, this is voluntary information.
Purpose limitation of the processing of personal data
We process the data provided by you in accordance with the principles of data economy and purpose limitation (Article 5 (1) (b) and (c) DS-GVO). The purpose limitation principle means that data is collected for specified, explicit and legitimate purposes and may not be further processed in a manner incompatible with those purposes. Further processing for archival purposes in the public interest, for scientific or historical research purposes or for statistical purposes is not considered incompatible with the original purposes.
In principle, we process your data for the purpose of answering your inquiries, processing your orders or providing you with access to certain information or offers. In order to maintain customer relations, it may also be necessary for us or a third party commissioned by us to use this data to inform you about product offers or to conduct online surveys to better meet the tasks and requirements of our customers.
We will process the data you provide online only for the purposes disclosed to you.
Legal basis for the processing of personal data
In principle, any processing of personal data is prohibited by law (Art. 5(1)(a) DS-GVO in conjunction with Art. 6(1) UAbs. 1 DS-GVO, so-called legal prohibition with reservation of permission). The data processing is only permitted if it falls under one of the following permissions:
Insofar as we obtain your consent for data processing operations, the consent pursuant to Art. 6 (1) UAbs. 1 letter a DS-GVO constitutes the legal basis for the processing of your data. In the case of special categories of personal data within the meaning of Art. 9 (1) DS-GVO (for example, health data), Art. 9 (2) (a) DS-GVO is additionally the relevant legal provision.
When processing data that is necessary for the fulfillment of the requested service, we invoke Art. 6 (1) UAbs. 1 letter b DS-GVO as the legal basis.
Insofar as data processing is necessary for the fulfillment of a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Art. 6 para. 1 UAbs. 1 lit. c DS-GVO serves as the legal basis.
If processing is necessary to protect a legitimate interest of our company or a third party and the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not outweigh the former interest, Article 6 (1) (1) (f) DS-GVO forms the legal basis for the processing.
In the further course of our privacy policy, we list the relevant legal basis for each individual data processing operation. In this context, the processing may also be based on several legal bases.
Legal bases for storing information in the end user's terminal equipment or accessing information that is already stored in the terminal equipment
Storing information in the end user's terminal equipment or accessing information that is already stored in the terminal equipment is only permitted if it is covered by one of the following permissions:
- § Section 25 (1) TTDSG: If the end user has consented on the basis of clear and comprehensive information.
- § Section 25 (2) no. 1 TTDSG: If the sole purpose is to carry out the transmission of a message via a public telecommunications network.
- § Section 25 para. 2 no. 2 TTDSG: If the storage or access is absolutely necessary to enable the provider of a telemedia service to provide a telemedia service expressly requested by the user.
In the further course of our data protection statement, we list - where necessary - the relevant legal basis in each case.
Data deletion and storage period
Unless a more specific storage period is listed in our data protection declaration, this is determined according to the following rules:
We only store your data until the purpose has been fulfilled and no other legal storage obligations exist (for example, storage obligations under commercial or tax law).
If you have given us your consent, we store your data until you revoke your consent, provided there is no other legal basis for processing your data and no legal retention periods prevent deletion.
In addition, in individual cases, for example for evidentiary purposes, longer retention may be indicated for the defense or enforcement of civil or public law claims.
Disclosure of data to third parties
Your data will only be passed on to third parties in exceptional cases,
- to external service providers acting on our behalf (order processors), if this is necessary for the purpose of implementing the contractual relationship,
- to companies affiliated with us, if this is necessary for the fulfillment of contractual obligations,
- to state institutions and authorities if we are legally obliged to do so, or
- if you consent to this.
We conclude the corresponding agreements on commissioned processing with the commissioned processors on the basis of Art. 28 DS-GVO. The service companies commissioned by us are obliged to maintain confidentiality and to comply with the provisions of the DS-GVO and the BDSG. The data passed on may only be used by our service providers to fulfill their task. Any other use of the information is not permitted and does not take place with any of the order processors entrusted by us.
A transmission and further processing of data to institutions and authorities entitled to receive information will only take place within the framework of the relevant laws or if we are obliged to do so by a court decision.
Beyond this, we do not pass on any data to third parties unless you have given your express consent.
Of course, we will respect your wishes if you do not want us to use your data to support our customer relationship (especially for direct marketing or market research purposes). We will neither sell your data to third parties nor market it in any other way unless you have given us your consent to do so.
Data transfer to a third country
If, in the course of using third-party services, data is disclosed or transferred to third parties in a third country, i.e. outside the European Union or the European Economic Area, and data is further processed, this will only be done on the basis of your consent, a legal obligation, our legitimate interests or if it is necessary to fulfill our (pre-)contractual obligations. Subject to legal or contractual permissions, we will only process data or have data processed in a third country if the special requirements of Art. 44 et seq. DS-GVO are met. This means, for example, that the processing is carried out on the basis of special guarantees, such as the officially recognized determination of a level of data protection corresponding to the European Union or compliance with officially recognized special contractual obligations (for example, standard contractual clauses for the transfer of personal data to third countries, so-called "EU standard contractual clauses" or "standard contractual clauses - SCC"). If applicable, a transfer of personal data to third countries or to international organizations will exceptionally take place based on your explicit consent pursuant to Article 49 (1) UAbs. 1 letter a DS-GVO. Should this be the case, we will point this out to you once again in our data protection declaration - explaining the existing possible risks of such data transfers.
Data that is automatically collected when visiting our website
When using our website, the following data may be automatically processed in so-called server log files (log files) for organizational and technical reasons:
- the names of the Internet pages called up,
- the sub-websites that are accessed via an accessing system on our website,
- the website from which an accessing system arrives at our website (so-called referrer),
- the browser you use (type and version),
- the operating system used by you
- the date and time of access to the website,
- the search engines used,
- the names of downloaded files
- the Internet protocol address (IP address) and
- the Internet service provider of the accessing system
- other similar data and information that serve to defend against dangers in the event of attacks on our information technology systems.
When processing this data, we do not draw any conclusions about the data subject. Rather, the information serves the purpose of,
- to deliver the website content in a technically correct manner,
- to optimize the website content as well as the advertising for the same,
- to ensure the long-term functionality of our information technology systems and the technology of our website, and
- provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for prosecution (for example, in the event of a cyber attack).
The data and information collected are therefore only evaluated statistically and with the aim of increasing data protection and data security, in order to ultimately ensure an optimal level of protection. The data and information of the server log files are also stored separately from any data provided by a data subject.
Our overriding legitimate interests pursuant to Art. 6 (1) UAbs. 1 lit. f DS-GVO form the legal basis for the collection and analysis of the server log files. Our interest as the operator of this website to collect them for the reasons mentioned above outweighs your interest in not collecting the data. The decisive factor for this balancing result is that logging promotes technical data protection and the intrusion resulting from its use is of low intensity. Furthermore, the data is collected for the purpose of fulfilling contracts with our potential and existing customers. The legal basis for this is Art. 6 para. 1 UAbs. 1 letter b DS-GVO.
Web hosting
Our website is hosted by an external service provider (so-called web hoster or hosting provider).
Our hosting provider for this website is:
eCentral GmbH
Wehrdaer Weg 1
35037 Marburg
Deutschland
Therefore, the data that is collected when you visit our website is stored on the servers of the hosting provider. This is mainly data that is automatically collected when you visit the website (see above). Our hosting provider will only process the data to the extent necessary to fulfill its service obligations. This provider is subject to our instructions regarding the provision of its services. To ensure the rights and obligations under data protection law, a contract on commissioned processing in accordance with Art. 28 DS-GVO has been concluded with this provider.
We use the hosting provider to offer you our website. Through this, we guarantee you a secure and fast online offer through a professional service provider. This is because the hosting provider has the necessary resources and expertise.
Our overriding legitimate interests pursuant to Art. 6 (1) UAbs. 1 lit. f DS-GVO form the legal basis for the use of the hosting provider. Our interest as the operator of this website in using a web hoster for the aforementioned reasons outweighs your interest in not using one. The decisive factor for this balancing result is that this promotes technical data protection and the interference resulting from its use is of low intensity. Furthermore, the use of a hosting provider is for the purpose of fulfilling contracts with our potential and existing customers. The legal basis for this is Art. 6 para. 1 UAbs. 1 letter b DS-GVO.
Google Fonts
On our website, we use the font library Google Fonts of Google LLC, Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, in order to be able to display fonts in a uniform and user-friendly manner. This constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. f DS-GVO.
If your browser does not support Google Fonts, a standard font is used by your computer.
For this purpose, your browser loads the required fonts into your browser cache when you call up a page.
The fonts from Google Fonts are provided on the servers of our web hoster.
This ensures that your IP address is not transmitted to Google LLC when you use our website.
You can find more information about Google Fonts at https://developers.google.com/fonts/faq.
Cookies
1. General information
When you visit our website, we may store information on your terminal equipment in the form of a cookie. Cookies are small text files that are sent to your browser by a web server and stored on the data carrier of your terminal device.
Some cookies are deleted after the end of the browser session, i.e. after you close your browser (so-called session cookies). Other cookies remain on your terminal equipment and enable your browser to be recognized the next time you visit (so-called permanent cookies or persistent cookies). Permanent cookies are automatically deleted after a specified period of time, which may vary depending on the cookie. However, you can also delete them yourself or have them deleted automatically by your browser.
If cookies are set, they process certain user information such as browser and location data as well as IP address values to an individual extent. The purpose and functionality of the individual cookies varies, which is why these contents may be shown to you again separately in our data protection declaration.
The cookies we use do not usually store any of the user's personal data other than the IP address. This information is used to automatically recognize you the next time you visit our website and to make navigation easier for you.
If necessary, cookies from third parties (so-called third-party cookies) may also be stored on your terminal device when you visit our website. These enable you or us to use a certain service of the third party.
Of course, you can also view our website without cookies. If you do not want us to recognize your terminal device, for example, you can prevent cookies from being stored on your data carrier by activating the "do not accept cookies" function in your browser settings. Please refer to the operating instructions of your browser manufacturer for details on how this works. If you do not accept cookies, however, this may lead to functional restrictions of our offers.
Cookies that are necessary for the technically error-free and optimized provision of our services (so-called "technically necessary cookies" such as for a shopping cart function or real-time chat) are stored on your terminal device on the basis of Section 25 (2) No. 2 TTDSG. Consent on your part is not required for this. Any subsequent data processing, on the other hand, is based on Art. 6 (1) UAbs. 1 DS-GVO. As a rule, we have an overriding legitimate interest in processing the information of the technically necessary cookies in order to provide you with our website in an error-free and optimized manner (Art. 6 para. 1 UAbs. 1 letter f DS-GVO). Depending on the cookie use, however, other legal bases may also be relevant, which is why we may present these to you separately for each cookie used in our privacy policy. In the case of technically unnecessary cookies (so-called "optional cookies"), access to your terminal equipment only takes place if you have given us your consent in accordance with Section 25 (1) TTDSG. The subsequent data processing, if any, is also based on your consent pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 UAbs. 1 letter a DS-GVO.
If we use third-party cookies or optional cookies on our website, we will inform you about this in the further course of our privacy policy.
You can also find detailed information on the cookies used (function, storage period, access options of third parties, etc.) in our consent management tool ("Cookiebot")(cookie overview).
You can adjust the cookie settings at any time and revoke any consent you have already given for the future.
2. Cookie bot
We use the consent management tool "Cookiebot" on our website.
The consent management tool "Cookiebot" is operated by Cybot A/S, Havnegade 39, 1058 Copenhagen, Denmark (https://www.cookiebot.com/de/).
"Cookiebot" enables us to display a notice about cookie usage (so-called "cookie banner") and to integrate cookies in a privacy-compliant manner via opt-in. This means that technically unnecessary cookies will only be set and any associated data will only be processed if you as a website visitor give us your consent (Section 25 (1) TTDSG and Article 6 (1) UAbs. 1 a DS-GVO). For this purpose, when you call up our website, you will be asked in a cookie banner to select which cookies and services may be used.
"Cookiebot" uses technically necessary cookies ("CookieConsent") to store your consents, which you have given when visiting our website. In this context, no consent from you is required to access your terminal equipment in accordance with Section 25 (2) No. 2 TTDSG. The subsequent data processing is necessary to fulfill a legal obligation. The legal basis for this is Art. 6 para. 1 UAbs. 1 lit. c DS-GVO. This is because according to Art. 5 (2) DS-GVO, we as the controller must demonstrate compliance with the principles of data processing (Art. 5 (1) DS-GVO), in particular the principle of lawfulness of data processing (Art. 5 (1) a DS-GVO). If we fail to comply with this legal obligation, this could be legally disadvantageous for us (such as the imposition of a fine, Art. 83 DS-GVO). The collected data will be stored until you request us to delete it or until you delete the cookie "CookieConsent" yourself or until the purpose for storing the data no longer applies. This data will not be passed on to the provider of "Cookiebot". Mandatory legal retention periods remain unaffected. Detailed information on the cookie used (function, storage period, access options for third parties, etc.) can be found in our consent management tool ("Cookiebot")(cookie overview).
For more information on the "Cookiebot" consent management tool, please visit https://www.cookiebot.com/de/privacy-policy/.
3. Overview of the cookies used
The cookie declaration for the domains www.ingsoft.com, interwatt.ingsoft.com & easypipe.ingsoft.com can be found at: https: //www.ingsoft.com/en-en/cookie-declaration
On the two aforementioned pages, you have the option to adjust or revoke the cookie setting for the respective domain.
Analysis and tracking tools
1. In general
When visiting our website, your usage behavior may also be statistically evaluated. This is done primarily with cookies and with so-called analysis programs. The analysis of your usage behavior is usually anonymous; the usage behavior cannot be traced back to you. You can object to this analysis or prevent it by not using certain tools. Detailed information on this can be found below:
2. Matomo (used without cookies)
Our website uses the web analysis service "Matomo Analytics" ("Matomo"), a service of InnoCraft Ltd, 150 Willis St, 6011 Wellington, New Zealand, NZBN 6106769, ("Matomo") by means of cookie technology.
We use the web analysis tool "Matomo" to design our websites in line with demand. Matomo creates user profiles on the basis of pseudonyms. For this purpose, permanent cookies are stored on your terminal device and read by us. In this way, we are able to recognise and count returning visitors.
In addition, this website provides a contact form which allows you to send us an enquiry directly and allows us to respond directly to your email address.
The legal basis on which we process personal data using Matomo is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f of the DSGVO.
Further information on the Matomo terms of use and the data protection regulations can be found at: https://matomo.org/privacy/.
If individual pages of our website are accessed, the following data is stored:
- Cookies
- Anonymised IP addresses by removing the last 2 bytes (i.e. 198.51.0.0 instead of 198.51.100.54)
- Pseudo-anonymised location (based on the anonymised IP address)
- Date and time
- Title of the accessed page
- URL of the page accessed
- URL of the previous page (if allowed)
- Screen resolution
- Local time
- Files clicked and downloaded
- External links
- Duration of page load
- Country, region, city (with low accuracy due to IP address)
- Main language of browser
- User agent of the browser
- Interactions with forms (but not their content)
The software runs exclusively on the servers of our website. Personal data of the users is only stored there. The data is not passed on to third parties.
The software is set in such a way that the IP addresses are not stored completely, but 2 bytes of the IP address are masked (e.g.: 192.168.xxx.xxx).
In this way, it is no longer possible to assign the shortened IP address to the calling computer.
The data is deleted as soon as it is no longer required for our recording purposes.
Details on transfer to third countries
The data of this website and Matomo are hosted in Germany. The data never leaves the EU.
3. Google tag manager
We use the organization tool "Google Tag Manager" on our website.
The "Google Tag Manager" is operated by Google LLC ("Google"), 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, United States of America, or if the service is provided in the European Union, by Google Ireland Limited, Google Building, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland(https://tagmanager.google.com/).
The "Google Tag Manager" enables us to integrate various codes and services on our website in an orderly and simplified manner. The "Google Tag Manager" implements the so-called tags or triggers the embedded tags. Tags are small sections of code that, for example, record your activities on our website. You can find more details about the individual tags and how they work in our privacy policy. By using the "Google Tag Manager", we pursue the purpose of being able to carry out a simplified and clear integration of various services. Furthermore, the integration of the "Google Tag Manager" optimizes the loading times of the various services.
When a tag is triggered, Google may process data and information via the "Google Tag Manager". In particular, the following data is processed:
- Online identifiers (including cookie identifiers).
- IP address
The information generated by this about your website usage is transferred to Google servers, which are distributed worldwide(https://www.google.com/about/datacenters/locations/?hl=de). A large part of the servers are located in the United States of America, which is why your data is also stored there. In the event that personal data is transferred to Google LLC, which is based in the United States of America, Google LLC has taken appropriate measures (such as concluding EU standard contractual clauses), which generally ensure compliance with the level of data protection applicable in the European Union. More detailed information can be found in the Google Ads Controller Data Protection Terms(https://business.safety.google/adscontrollerterms/). However, it cannot be ruled out that US authorities will access the data stored by Google. The United States of America is currently considered a third country from a data protection perspective. You do not have the same rights there as within the European Union. If applicable, you have no legal remedies against access by authorities.
The data will only be stored as long as necessary for the intended purpose or as required by law.
If a corresponding consent to activate the service has been requested and granted, the processing of the data is based on your consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) UAbs. 1 letter a DS-GVO. With your consent to use this service, you also consent to any data transfer to Google in a third country in accordance with Art. 49 (1) UAbs. 1 letter a DS-GVO. You can revoke your consent at any time with future effect by clicking on Cookie Settings and unchecking "Google Tag Manager". An opt-out cookie will then be set, which will prevent the collection of your data during future visits to this website. The provision of personal data is not required by law or contract, nor is it necessary for the conclusion of a contract. You are also not obliged to provide your data. However, we would like to point out that deactivating or not providing the data may result in you not being able to use our website or not being able to use it to its full extent.
Further information on the "Google Tag Manager" service can be found at:

Furthermore, you can also contact the Google contact person at https://support.google.com/policies/contact/general_privacy_form regarding the service.
4. Google analytics
We use the web analytics service "Google Analytics" on our website.
The web analytics service "Google Analytics" is operated by Google LLC ("Google"), 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, United States of America, or if the service is provided in the European Union, by Google Ireland Limited, Google Building, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland(https://analytics.google.com/analytics/web/).
"Google Analytics" is used by us primarily for analysis and marketing purposes. The reports generated by "Google Analytics" enable us to optimize our virtual presence. The statistical data show us the strengths and weaknesses of our website. We want you to feel comfortable on our website and therefore provide you only with the web content you want. Furthermore, we would also like to use our financial resources in a targeted manner in order to be able to offer our services to you at the best possible price.
"Google Analytics" is a tracking tool that is used to analyze traffic to our website. For this purpose, a tracking code is integrated into the source code of our website. When you visit our website, this tracking code records your actions on our website. As soon as you leave our website, this data is sent to the servers of "Google Analytics" and stored there. This data is then processed by Google and provided to us as reports about your user behavior. Among other things, the generation of the following reports is technically possible:
- Acquisition reports (How can we reach more people?)
- Display reports (How successful is our online advertising?)
- Conversion reports (How successful are individual marketing measures?)
- Real-time reports (What is happening on our website right now?)
- Behavior reports (How are people interacting with our website?)
- Target group reports (Who is interested in us?)
Through the use of the tracking code, which is linked to a cookie, "Google Analytics" is enabled to perform an analysis of your website usage. For this purpose, a random but unique user ID is created. This is used to distinguish individual website visitors and to evaluate pseudonymous user profiles. The following data, among others, is recorded during your visit to the website:
- pages viewed
- date and time of your visit
- orders including sales and products ordered
- the achievement of "website goals" (for example, contact requests)
- your behavior on the pages (for example, click path, scrolling behavior, and dwell time)
- Your approximate location (country and city)
- Your IP address (in shortened form, so that no clear assignment is possible)
- Technical information such as browser, Internet provider, terminal equipment and screen resolution
- Source of origin of your visit (i.e. via which website or via which advertising material you came to us)
In particular, the following cookies from "Google Analytics" are used for this purpose.
- Cookie name: _ga
Purpose: The JavaScript "gtag.js" uses the cookie "_ga" by default to store the user ID. This is basically used to distinguish between individual website visitors.
Storage period: 2 years - Cookie name: _ga_#
Purpose: HTTP(S) is a stateless protocol. This means that the session state cannot be stored from one web page to the next in a website. This cookie is therefore used to maintain the session state across all pages in the session.
Storage time: 2 years - Cookie name: td
Purpose: Registers statistical data about visitors' behaviour on the website. Used by the website operator for internal analytics.
Storage time: Session
This list is not exhaustive and may be changed at any time due to technical changes on the part of Google, over which we have no control.
Detailed information on the cookies used (function, storage period, access options for third parties, etc.) can be found in our consent management tool ("Cookiebot")(cookie overview).
The information generated by this about your website usage is transmitted to Google servers, which are distributed worldwide(https://www.google.com/about/datacenters/locations/?hl=de). A large part of the servers are located in the United States of America, which is why your data is also stored there. In the event that IP anonymization is activated on this website, however, your IP address will be shortened beforehand by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area (so-called IP masking). Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the United States of America and shortened there. IP anonymization is active on this website. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of the website, compiling reports on website activity and providing other services relating to website activity and internet usage to the website operator. In the event that personal data is transferred to Google LLC, which is based in the United States of America, Google LLC has taken appropriate measures (such as concluding EU standard contractual clauses), which fundamentally ensure compliance with the level of data protection applicable in the European Union. More detailed information can be found in the Google Ads Controller Data Protection Terms (https://business.safety.google/adscontrollerterms/). However, it cannot be ruled out that US authorities will access the data stored by Google. The United States of America is currently considered a third country from a data protection perspective. You do not have the same rights there as within the European Union. You may not be entitled to any legal remedies against access by authorities.
The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of "Google Analytics" will not be merged with other data from Google. In particular, 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. You can also object to the collection of 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 by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de.
Insofar as a corresponding consent to set or store cookies and to activate the service has been requested and granted, access to your terminal equipment and the subsequent processing of the data will be based on your consent pursuant to Section 25 (1) TTDSG in conjunction with Article 6 (1) UAbs. 1 letter a DS-GVO. With your consent to the use of this service, you also consent to any data transfer to Google in a third country pursuant to Art. 49 (1) UAbs. 1 letter a DS-GVO. You can revoke your consent at any time with future effect by clicking on the cookie settings and unchecking "Google Analytics". An opt-out cookie will then be set, which will prevent the collection of your data during future visits to this website.
We would like to point out at this point that by using the service, "Google Fonts" (fonts) may be reloaded and a connection to Google's servers is automatically established for this purpose. "Google Fonts" is a collection of fonts for commercial and personal use. Through "Google Fonts" fonts are made available, which visually improve the service called. In the process, the following data is transmitted to Google:
- IP address
- Aggregated usage figures
- Font request
- Referrer URL
- CSS requests

5. Google Ads
We use the service "Google Ads" on our website.
"Google Ads" is operated by Google LLC ("Google"), 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, United States of America, or if the service is provided in the European Union, by Google Ireland Limited, Google Building, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland(https://ads.google.com).
This service enables us to draw attention to our attractive offers with the help of advertising media (so-called "Google Ads") within the Google advertising network.
We use "Google Ads" for marketing and optimization purposes, in particular to place relevant and interesting ads for you, to improve campaign performance reports and to achieve a fair calculation of advertising costs.
We ourselves do not collect or process any personal data during the advertising measures. We only receive statistical evaluations from Google. These evaluations enable us to identify which of the advertising measures used are particularly effective. We do not receive any further data from the use of the advertising media; in particular, we cannot identify users on the basis of this information.
We and Google are considered independent data controllers with regard to the "Google Ads" service. In this regard, each party individually determines the purposes and means for the processing of personal data and complies with the requirements of data protection law. More detailed information can be found in the Google Ads Controller Data Protection Terms(https://business.safety.google/adscontrollerterms/).
In the event that personal data is transferred to Google LLC (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043), which is headquartered in the United States of America (USA), Google LLC has taken appropriate measures (such as concluding EU standard contractual clauses), which in principle ensure compliance with the level of data protection applicable in the European Union. However, it cannot be ruled out that US authorities will access the data stored by Google. The United States of America is currently considered a third country from a data protection perspective. You do not have the same rights there as within the European Union/European Economic Area. If applicable, you have no legal remedies against access by authorities.
If a corresponding consent to set or store cookies has been requested and granted, the processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Section 25 (1) TTDSG in conjunction with Article 6 (1) UAbs. 1 lit. a DS-GVO. With your consent to the use of this service, you also consent to any data transfer to Google in a third country in accordance with Art. 49 (1) UAbs. 1 lit. a DS-GVO. You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future by clicking on the cookie settingsand unchecking the "Google Ads" box. An opt-out cookie will then be set, which will prevent the collection of your data during future visits to this website.
You can prevent the installation of cookies by deleting existing cookies and disabling a storage of cookies in the settings of your browser. We point out that in this case you may not be able to use all features of our website in full. Preventing the storage of cookies is also possible by setting your browser to block cookies from the domain "www.googleadservices.com". In addition, you can deactivate interest-based ads via the link http://optout.aboutads.info. This setting will be removed when you delete your cookies. Detailed information on the cookies used (function, storage period, third-party access options, etc.) can be found in our consent management tool ("Cookiebot")(cookie overview).
Further information on data use by Google, on setting and objection options and on data protection can be found on the following Google web pages:
- Privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de&gl=de
- Google website statistics: https://services.google.com/sitestats/de.html
In connection with the "Google Ads" service, we use the following functions:
5.1 Google Ads Conversion Tracking
In order to measure the success of our advertising campaigns and to achieve a fair calculation of advertising costs, we use conversion tracking as part of "Google Ads". In particular, we pursue the goal of making our website more attractive and displaying advertising that is of interest to you.
With conversion tracking, Google sets a cookie when a user calls up an ad placed by Google. If the user visits certain pages of this website, we and Google can recognize that the user called up the ad and was redirected to this page. The following data is processed in the process:
- IP address
- Browser and device information (for example, the operating system)
- the referrer URL
- the timestamp of the visit, the cookie ID
- general usage data, such as the ads clicked on, as well as the web request.
The information obtained through this is used to create conversion statistics. This tells us the total number of users who have viewed our ads and been redirected to our website, as well as performed certain actions on our website. However, we do not receive any information that can be used to personally identify users. The cookie lifetime is 30 days by default. The data is deleted as soon as it is no longer needed for processing purposes. Furthermore, we store a Google Click ID. This is parameter that is passed in the URL when a Google ad is called up. The Google Click ID collects information about the called advertising medium, such as source, medium, campaign, ad group, search term and search term option. Using this information, we can determine which visitor to our website came from which ad. This allows us to evaluate the success of our ad placement. The Google Click ID is stored in a separate cookie, called gclid. The storage period is 90 days. The data is deleted as soon as it is no longer needed for processing purposes. Detailed information on the cookies used (functionality, storage period, third-party access options, etc.) can be found in our consent management tool ("Cookiebot")(cookie overview) take.
For more information on Google's privacy policy, please visit https://policies.google.com/privacy?gl=de.
6. Leadfeeder
Our website also uses the services of tools for prospecting ("leads"). We use the web analytics platform of the Finnish service provider Liidio Oy, Leadfeeder, Mikonkatu 17 C, 00100 Helsinki, Finland for this purpose. On the one hand, a lead is interested in our company or a product. On the other hand, his information is given to us for further dialogue building to enable contact initiation. Generating leads is an important part of acquiring new customers. The targeted generation of leads as a purpose of advertising is in our legitimate interest in data processing under Art 6 para 1 lit f DSGVO, whereby the rights of the data subject of lead data in the context of the willingly given and general data does not prevail.
The privacy policy of Leadfeeder can be found at https://www.leadfeeder.com/privacy, information about Leadfeeder and compliance with the GDPR: https://www.leadfeeder.com/leadfeeder-and-gdpr/.
Detailed information on the cookie used (mode of operation, storage period, access possibilities of third parties, etc.) can be found in our consent management tool ("Cookiebot") (cookie overview).
Your inquiries by e-mail, telephone, fax or contact form
1. contacting us
If you contact us by e-mail, telephone, fax or via our contact form, the data you provide will be processed. We use this data to be able to process your request. The processing of the data is based on your consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) UAbs. 1 letter a DS-GVO. However, depending on the circumstances, the processing of the data may also be based on Art. 6 para. 1 UAbs. 1 letter b DS-GVO (fulfillment of pre-contractual or contractual obligations) or on Art. 6 para. 1 UAbs. 1 letter f DS-GVO (overriding legitimate interest in the effective and efficient processing of your request).
As soon as the respective conversation with you has ended and the facts concerned have been conclusively clarified, we will delete the data accruing in this context. Mandatory legal provisions, such as statutory retention obligations, remain unaffected.
We would like to point out that data transmission via e-mail is generally not encrypted. A (complete) protection of the data can therefore not be guaranteed with this type of contact.
2nd contact form
If you use our contact form to contact us, we will ask you for personal information. In order for us to be able to answer your inquiry, you must provide a valid e-mail address. Further information about your person can be given voluntarily - unless otherwise stated.
Your information will be processed by e-mail.
The contact form is sent using end-to-end encryption.
Your data will be stored on protected servers in the Federal Republic of Germany in compliance with data protection regulations.
By pressing the "Send form" button, you consent to the processing of your contact information for the above purposes. If you do not agree to this, you must cancel the process. In this case, the content of the form will not be sent and your data will not be processed. You can revoke your consent as stated above at any time with effect for the future.
We will use your data only to the extent necessary to process your requests and for further correspondence with you. The data collected by us for the use of the contact form will be stored for the purpose of processing the request and for the case of follow-up questions and deleted after completion of your request under data protection law, unless there is another legal obligation to retain data.
3. transfer of data to service companies
We use various services of third parties for the operation, optimization of our website and our services and for contract processing. In doing so, it is necessary that the data required for the fulfillment of the task, in particular for central IT services or the hosting of our website as well as for the payment and delivery of products, are passed on to them.
When passing on your data, we always ensure the highest possible level of security. We assure you that the third parties involved have been carefully selected by us beforehand and are contractually bound. Insofar as a third party acts for us by way of commissioned processing (for example, for hosting the website), we ensure that appropriate data protection precautions and data security measures have been agreed with the third parties commissioned by us.
We pass on the personal data required for the delivery of ordered goods, such as first name, last name, address, to logistics companies and the parcel/postal service provider specified in the order, such as DHL, DPD, UPS and Hermes. This is necessary in particular for the fulfillment of contracts and to protect our legitimate interests or those of a third party (Art. 6 para. 1 UAbs. 1 lit. b and f DS-GVO).
In addition, we transmit the data provided during the order process to payment service providers or to a financing bank for their own use in the processing of the contract, if applicable.
During payment, we do not collect and store payment transaction information such as credit card numbers or bank details. You only provide this information directly to the respective payment service provider.
E-mail newsletter
If you are offered the option of ordering a newsletter on our website and you register for such a newsletter, we process the data collected from you in this context as follows:
1. purpose of data processing and registration for the newsletter.
The only mandatory data for sending the newsletter is your e-mail address. We store this for the delivery of the newsletter. Through the e-mail newsletter, we would like to inform you at regular intervals about our company and our goods or services. In this way, we provide you with information that is important to you. Furthermore, the e-mail newsletter also serves to inform you about changes to the newsletter offer or in the event of a change in technical circumstances. The data collected as part of the newsletter service is not passed on to third parties.
The legal basis for data processing is your consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) UAbs. 1 letter a DS-GVO. We have logged your consent and are obliged to keep its content available for retrieval at all times.
The provision of further, separately marked data and information is voluntary. They are used for the purpose of personal addressing and/or personalization of the e-mail newsletter.
2. double opt-in procedure
If you register for an e-mail newsletter, the data you provide and transmit will be electronically recorded and stored by us. The purpose of this processing is firstly to carry out the so-called double opt-in procedure, with which you can consent to receiving the e-mail newsletter on a regular basis. This means that after you have submitted your data, we will send you an e-mail to the e-mail address you have provided and ask you in this e-mail to confirm that you wish to receive the newsletter. If no confirmation of your registration is received, your data will be deleted again within 14 days.
After your confirmation, we store your IP address, the content of the confirmation e-mail and the time of confirmation. The purpose of this procedure is to prove your registration for the e-mail newsletter and, if necessary, to be able to recognize and prevent a possible misuse of your personal data. The legal basis for this is Art. 6 para. 1 UAbs. 1 lit. c DS-GVO (fulfillment of a legal obligation). Failure to comply with the double opt-in procedure when sending an e-mail newsletter, for example, would constitute an unlawful commercial act (see Section 7 (1) and (2) No. 2 UWG).
3. duration of storage
The data collected during registration (e-mail address and voluntary information) is deleted as soon as it is no longer required to achieve the purpose for which it was collected. This is the case after a cancellation of the newsletter or a revocation of your consent.
4. revocation of your consent
You can revoke your consent to the transmission of the newsletter at any time with effect for the future and thereby unsubscribe from the newsletter. You can declare the revocation by calling up the hyperlink provided in each newsletter. In addition, you also have the option of contacting us directly with a revocation.
Webinars and other events
If you wish to register for (free or paid) webinars and other events, it is necessary for the conclusion of the contract that you provide your data, which we require for the processing of your registration. The mandatory information is marked separately. The remaining information is voluntary.
We process the data you provide to process your event registration. The legal basis for the processing of the mandatory data is Art. 6 (1) UAbs. 1 lit. b DS-GVO (for the performance of a contract or for the implementation of pre-contractual measures). In contrast, the legal basis for the processing of voluntary information is your consent pursuant to Art. 6 (1) UAbs. 1 letter a DS-GVO. You can revoke this consent at any time with effect for the future. Please address the revocation to our contact details above.
We will also use the e-mail address made known to us in this context for our newsletter (for more details on the e-mail newsletter, see already above). However, since we have received your e-mail address in connection with the conclusion of a contract (see above), this does not constitute unreasonable harassment under competition law pursuant to Section 7 (3) UWG. The processing of your data for this purpose is based on a legitimate interest of our company within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) UAbs. 1 letter f DS-GVO. We thereby pursue the purpose of informing interested parties and customers of our company by e-mail about further news, offers and events relating to the topics of energy, environment, climate and statics in order to establish and maintain a long-term customer relationship.
You can object to our direct advertising via our e-mail newsletter at any time by sending a message to our contact address given above, in accordance with Art. 21 DS-GVO and § 7 Para. 3 No. 4 UWG. You will also be informed of the other options for objecting in our e-mail newsletter.

As soon as they are no longer required to achieve the purpose for which they were collected, your data will be deleted.
You have the option at any time to revoke your consent to data processing with effect for the future or to object to the use of the data.

Presence in social networks (social media) and on other websites
We maintain publicly accessible profiles in social networks.
Where applicable, a link to these profiles can also be found on our website. However, unless otherwise stated in our privacy policy, this is merely a link to the external websites. Unlike so-called social media plug-ins, for example, the integration of the hyperlink on our website does not yet process any data of the website visitors in relation to the social networks. In contrast, calling up and visiting the profile by activating the link initiates a number of data processing processes.
We maintain the social media profiles in order to communicate with users and interested parties and to present information about us. This enables us to better align our products and services with the needs of interested parties. In addition, we want to meet you in the virtual place and communicate with you where you already feel comfortable and know your way around. This will improve the overall communication between you and us.
We use the technical platform and services of third-party providers for this purpose. Since the providers of the social networks - in addition to us - pursue their own purposes, we are considered joint controllers under data protection law in accordance with Art. 26 DS-GVO. We would like to point out that you use our social media profiles and their functions on your own responsibility. This applies in particular to the use of the interactive functions (for example, commenting and sharing). When you visit our profiles, the providers of the social media platforms collect, among other things, your IP address and other information that is present in the form of cookies on your terminal equipment. This information is used to provide us, as the operator of the social media profile, with anonymized statistical information about the interaction with our profile. We use the statistics to improve your experience when visiting our social media presence. However, we do not have access to the usage data that the social network provider collects to create these statistics.
When you visit our profiles, your data is collected, used and stored not only by us but also by the operators of the respective social network due to joint responsibility. This happens even if you yourself do not maintain a profile in the respective social network. The individual data processing operations and their scope differ depending on the operator of the respective social network. If you are logged into the platform in your profile, it is possible to regularly track how you have moved around the Internet via a cookie on your terminal equipment. Via social media plugins integrated into websites (for example, a Like button), it is also possible for the platforms to record your visits to these websites and assign them to your respective profile. Based on this data, user profiles can be created and content tailored to you or advertising content relevant to you can be offered by the platform operators. If you wish to avoid this, you should log out or deactivate the "stay logged in" function, delete the cookies present on your terminal equipment and restart your browser. We do not know in detail how the social media platforms use the data for their own purposes, how long this data is stored and whether data is passed on to third parties. To our knowledge, the platform providers will primarily use the data obtained to improve the platform's own advertising system. Data processing may differ depending on whether you are registered and logged in to the social network or visit our profile as a non-registered and/or non-logged-in user. Details about the collection and storage of your data as well as the type, scope and purpose of its use by the operator are described by the providers in their own privacy statements (see below). Furthermore, you will also find information there about contact options and about the settings options for advertisements.
The data collected about you in this context will be processed by the platforms and, if necessary, transferred to countries outside the European Union, in particular the United States of America (USA). The providers named below - insofar as they are not originally European companies - maintain an appropriate level of data protection according to their own statements. We have concluded the standard data protection clauses with the companies for this purpose. However, it cannot be ruled out that U.S. authorities may access the data stored by the platform providers. The United States of America is currently considered a third country from a data protection perspective. You do not have the same rights there as within the European Union. If applicable, you have no legal remedies against access by authorities.
In contrast, we as users of a social media profile process - in addition to the anonymized statistical evaluation of profile visits (see already above for this) - only the data from your use of our service that you provide to us and require an interaction. For example, if you ask a question that we can only answer by e-mail or via the social network messaging system, we will store your information in accordance with the general principles of our data processing, which we describe in this privacy policy. The legal basis for processing your data on the social media platform is - depending on the facts and context - Art. 6 (1) UAbs. 1 lit. a, b or f DS-GVO. Our legitimate interest lies in particular in presenting our products and services in a promotionally effective manner and communicating effectively and efficiently with you. The data processing operations carried out by the social networks may be based on different legal bases. These must be disclosed to you separately by the respective operator. Access to your terminal equipment - in particular through the use of cookies - is governed by Section 25 (1) or (2) No. 2 TTDSG. You can find more details about the cookies or comparable technologies used in the privacy policy or cookie policy of the respective providers of the social networks (see below). You are not obliged to provide us with your personal data. However, this may be necessary for individual functionalities of our profiles in social networks (for example, to respond to your inquiry). These functionalities will not be available to you or only to a limited extent if you do not provide us with your data.
To exercise your data subject rights, you can contact both us or the provider of the social media platform. To the extent that one party is not responsible for responding or must receive the information from the other party, we or the provider will forward your request to the respective partner. Please contact the social media platform provider directly for questions about profiling, processing of your data when using the social network. For questions about the processing of your interaction with us, write to the contact details we provide. Please note that despite the joint responsibility, we do not have full control over the data processing operations of the operators of the social networks.
For more information on social networks and how you can protect your data, please visit www.youngdata.de. Youngdata is the youth portal of the independent data protection authorities of the federal and state governments, as well as the canton of Zurich.
We would like to explain to you below which profiles we maintain with which providers. If you would like to visit our social media profiles, you can find the exact locations in the imprint of our website. We have linked the social media profiles there accordingly.

Children and young people
Our website is aimed exclusively at potential applicants, customers, interested parties as well as business partners and representatives of the press.
Persons under the age of 16 should not transmit any data to us without the consent of their legal representatives (usually parents or guardians). We do not request data from children and young people who have not yet reached the age of 16. We do not collect this data and do not pass it on to third parties.
Security of your data
We have taken technical and organizational security measures in accordance with legal requirements to protect your data from loss, destruction, manipulation and unauthorized access.
The security measures include in particular the encrypted transmission of data between your browser and our server. This website uses TLS encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content such as requests that you send to us as the site operator. You can recognize an encrypted connection in particular by the fact that the address line of your browser changes from "http://" to "https://" and by the padlock symbol. If TLS encryption is activated, data that you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.
All our employees and all persons involved in data processing, as well as the service companies we commission, are obliged to comply with the DS-GVO, the BDSG and other laws relevant to data protection, as well as to handle data confidentially.
Our security measures are regularly reviewed and continuously revised in line with technological developments.
