4. Data Collection on our Website

Cookies

The internet pages partly use so-called cookies. Cookies do not harm your computer and do not contain viruses. Cookies serve to make our offer more user-friendly, effective and secure. Cookies are small text files that are deposited on your computer and stored by your browser.

Most of the cookies we use are so-called "session cookies". They are automatically deleted after your visit. Other cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them. These cookies allow us to recognize your browser the next time you visit.

You can alter the settings of your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies and allow them only in individual cases, accept cookies in specific cases or generally exclude them as well as enabling the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. Disabling cookies may limit the functionality of this website.

Cookies that are required to carry out the electronic communication process or to provide certain functions that you wish to use (e.g. shopping cart function) are stored on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the storage of cookies for the technically error-free and optimized provision of their services. Insofar as other cookies (such as cookies for analyzing your surfing behaviour) are stored, they will be treated separately in this Data Protection Declaration. .

Server Log Files

The provider of the pages automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. These are:

  • Browser type and browser version
  • Utilized operating system
  • Referrer URL
  • Host name of the accessing computer
  • Time of server request
  • IP address

A combination of this data with other data sources is not carried out.

The basis for data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR, which allows the processing of data for the fulfillment of a contract or pre-contractual measures.

Contact Form

When you send us inquiries via the contact form, your details from the inquiry form, including the contact details you provided there, will be stored in order to process the request and in the event of follow-up queries. We will not share this information without your consent.

The processing of the data entered into the contact form is therefore exclusively based on your consent (Art. 6 (1) lit. GDPR). You can revoke this consent at any time. An informal message by e-mail to us is sufficient. The legality of the data processing operations carried out until the revocation occurs remains unaffected by the revocation.

The information you provide in the contact form will remain with us until you ask us to delete it, revoke your consent to storage or the reason for data storage no longer exists (for example, after your request has been processed). Mandatory statutory provisions - especially retention periods - remain unaffected. /p>

5. Analysis Tools and Advertising

Google Analytics

This website uses functions of the web analytics service Google Analytics. Provider is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheater Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.

Google Analytics uses so-called "cookies". These are text files that are stored on your computer and that allow an analysis of the use of the website by you.

Google Analytics cookies are stored on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in analyzing user behavior in order to optimize both its website and its advertising.

IP anonymization

We have activated the function IP anonymization on this website. As a result, your IP address will be shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or other parties to the Agreement on the European Economic Area prior to transmission to the United States. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be sent to a Google server in the US and shortened there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide other services related to website activity and internet usage to the website operator. The IP address provided by Google Analytics as part of Google Analytics will not be combined with other Google data.

Order data processing

Google AdWords and Google Conversion Tracking

This website uses Google AdWords. AdWords is an online advertising program of Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheater Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, United States ("Google").

Within the scope of Google AdWords, we use the so-called Conversion Tracking. When you click on an ad placed by Google, a conversion tracking cookie is set. Cookies are small text files that the Internet browser stores on the user's computer. These cookies lose their validity after 30 days and are not used for the personal identification of the users. If the user visits certain pages of this website and the cookie has not expired yet, Google and we can recognize that the user has clicked on the ad and was redirected to this page.

Each Google AdWords customer receives a different cookie. The cookies cannot be tracked via the websites of advertisers. The information gathered using the conversion cookie is used to generate conversion statistics for AdWords advertisers who have opted for conversion tracking. Customers are advised of the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a page with a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not receive information that personally identifies users. If you do not want to participate in tracking, you can contradict this use by easily disabling the Google Conversion Tracking cookie via your Internet browser under User Preferences. You will not be included in the conversion tracking statistics.

The storage of "conversion cookies" is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in analyzing user behaviour in order to optimize both its website and its advertising.

For more information about Google AdWords and Google Conversion Tracking, can be found in the Google Privacy Policy: https://www.google.de/policies/privacy/.

You can alter the settings of your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies and allow them only in individual cases, accept cookies in specific cases or generally exclude them as well as enabling the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. Disabling cookies may limit the functionality of this website.

8. Video conference systems

Description and scope of data processing

To conduct online meetings and video conferences we use the software solutions Webinargeek and Teams. In such an online meeting, participants can write chat messages to each other and share their own screens. Online seminars and video conferences are generally not recorded by us nor are chat contents logged by us. If we do record them, we will expressly point this out to you.

If you use a video conference system, various data is processed. The extent to which personal data is processed also depends on what data you disclose when using the software. The following categories of personal data may be processed:

  • User details, e.g. first name, surname
  • Metadata: Meeting name, participant IP addresses, device and hardware information
  • When dialing the phone: Information on incoming and outgoing telephone number, country name, start and end time. If necessary, further connection data such as the IP address of the device can be saved
  • Text, audio and video data: if necessary, text input for using the chat function; when using the video function, data from the video camera of the terminal device; when using audio, data from the microphone of the terminal device. Camera and microphone can be switched off or muted during an online meeting
As a matter of principle, we do not pass on personal data processed in connection with participation in an online meeting to third parties unless it is explicitly intended for this purpose.

If you access the websites of Webinargeek providers or teams, these respective providers are responsible for the data processing

Legal basis for data processing

The legal basis for the processing of personal data when using videoconferencing systems is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) and f) DSGVO. Our legitimate interest is based on the holding of online meetings. You can withdraw your consent at any time during the registration process or by email to bonded@lohmann-tapes.com.

Purpose of data processing

We use video conferencing systems for the purpose of holding telephone conferences, online meetings, online seminars or video conferences.

Data processing outside the European Union

GoToMeeting is a service provided by LogMeIn Ireland Limited, headquartered in Ireland, a subsidiary of LogMeIn Inc. headquartered in the USA. Teams is a service from Microsoft Corporation, Inc. also based in the USA. As a result, personal data is also processed in a third country. A contract for contract processing, which meets the requirements of article 28 DSGVO, was concluded with the providers.

LogMeIn, Inc. and Microsoft Corporation, Inc. and all its affiliates have US-EU Privacy Shield certification. In addition, the conclusion of the EU standard contractual clauses is guaranteed.

Duration of Storage

The data will be deleted as soon as they are no longer required for the purpose of their collection. Any longer storage beyond this can be justified by legal retention periods.

Possibility of objection and removal

When using video conferencing systems, the processing of metadata, connection data and a few profile data is mandatory. The processing of further personal data, e.g. optional profile data, video and audio data, can be prevented by personal settings of the video conference systems.
