(3) We may also forward your personal data to third parties in the event that, together with partners, we offer you the opportunity to take part in special offers or competitions, to enter into agreements or in order to provide similar services. You will receive further information on this upon providing your personal data or in the following description of the offering.

§6 Use of our online shop

(1) If you wish to place an order through our online store, to conclude the relevant contract it is necessary for you to provide your personal data which we require in order to complete your order. The mandatory details which are required for processing of contracts are separately marked. Further details are voluntary. We will process the data provided by you in order to complete your order. We may forward your payment details to our principal bank for this purpose. The basis in law for this is Art. 6 (1) Clause 1b GDPR.

You may voluntarily create a customer account through which we can save your data for subsequent further purchases. When you create an account under “My account”, the data which you provide will be saved with revocable effect. In the customer area of our website, you may delete any further data at any time, including your user account.

We may also process the data which you provide in order to notify you of further interesting products featured in our portfolio or to send you emails with technical information.

(2) Due to requirements of commercial and tax law, we are obliged to save your address and your payment and order data for a period of ten years. However, we will restrict processing of these data after a period of [two years], i.e. your data will only be used in order to comply with applicable statutory obligations.

(3) In order to prevent unauthorized third-party access to your personal data – in particular, your financial data – the order transaction will be encrypted by means of TLS technology.

§7 Newsletter

(1) Upon providing your consent, you may subscribe for our newsletter “Excellence in Practice” through which we will keep you informed of EagleBurgmann’s current products, projects and services. The goods and services thus advertised are indicated in the declaration of consent.

(2) We use the so-called “double-opt-in process” for the purpose of registration for our newsletter. This means that, following your registration, we will send an e-mail to your specified e-mail address in which we will request confirmation that you wish to receive our newsletter. If you do not confirm your registration within a period of 24 hours, your information will be blocked and will be automatically deleted after a period of one month. We will also save your IP addresses and the time of your registration and your confirmation. This is in order to document your registration and to bring to light any possible misuse of your personal data.

(3) The only mandatory item of data required to receive our newsletter is your e-mail address. Additional, separately marked data are voluntary and will be used in order to address you personally. Once you have provided your confirmation, we will save your e-mail address in order to send you our newsletter. The basis in law is Art. 6 (1) Clause 1a GDPR.

(4) You may revoke your consent to receive our newsletter at any time and cancel our newsletter. You may provide notice of this revocation by clicking on the link provided in each newsletter e-mail, by sending an e-mail to info@eagleburgmann.com or by contacting us via the contact details provided in the Imprint section of our website.

(5) Please note that we will evaluate your user behavior in sending you our newsletter. For the purpose of this evaluation, the e-mails which we send you include so-called “web beacons” or “tracking pixels,” which display one-pixel image files that are stored on our website. For these evaluations, we will link the data listed in § 3 and these web beacons with your e-mail address and an individual ID. Links provided in our newsletter likewise include this ID.

These data will exclusively be collected in pseudonymized form, i.e. the IDs will not be linked with your other personal data. It will thus not be possible to directly associate them with you.

You may object to this tracking at any time by clicking on the separate link provided in each e-mail or by notifying us through a different means of communication. This information will be stored for as long as you continue to subscribe to our newsletter. Once you cancel your subscription, we will only save these data for statistical purposes and in anonymous form.

Moreover, such tracking is not possible if, by default, you have disabled images in your e-mail program’s settings. In this case, you will not be able to view all of our newsletter and you may not be able to use all of the functions. If you view the images manually, this will initiate the tracking procedure as outlined above.

§8 Use of Google Analytics

(1) This website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service provided by Google Inc. (“Google”). Google Analytics uses so-called “cookies,” text files which are saved on your computer and which enable an analysis of your use of this website. As a rule, the information which the cookie creates regarding your use of this website is transferred to a Google server in the USA and saved there. However, in the event that IP anonymization has been activated on this website, Google will previously shorten your IP address within member states of the European Union or other contracting states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will your full IP address be transferred to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information in order to evaluate your use of this website, to compile reports regarding your website activities and to provide further services for the website operator associated with your use of its website and the Internet.

(2) The IP address which your browser provides to Google Analytics will not be pooled with other Google data.

(3) You may prevent storage of cookies by adjusting the settings of your browser software; however, please note that in this case you may not be able to make full use of all of the functions on this website. You may also prevent the registration of the data created by the cookie and relating to your use of this website (incl. your IP address) for Google and Google’s processing of these data by downloading and installing the browser plug-in which is available via the following link: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en.

(4) This website uses Google Analytics with the extension “_anonymizeIp().” IP addresses are thus processed in shortened form, which means that they cannot be associated with specific persons. In the event that personally identifiable information were to arise through the data collected about you, this would therefore be eliminated immediately and these personal data would thus be promptly deleted.

(5) We use Google Analytics in order to analyze use of our website and to make regular improvements. The statistics which we thus obtain enable us to improve our website and to make it more attractive for you as a user. The basis in law for the use of Google Analytics is Art. 6 (1) Clause 1f GDPR.

(6) Information concerning the third-party provider: Google Dublin, Google Ireland Ltd., Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, fax: +353 (1) 436 1001.

(7) In some cases this website also uses Google Analytics for cross-device analysis of visitor flows. This is implemented by means of a user ID. You may deactivate cross-device analysis of your use under “My data,” “Personal data” in your customer account.

 (8) We use eTracker in order to analyze use of our website and to make regular improvements. The statistics which we thus obtain enable us to improve our website and to make it more attractive for you as a user. The registered data will be permanently stored and pseudonymously analyzed. The basis in law for the use of eTracker is Art. 6 (1) Clause 1f GDPR.

§8.1 Use of Matomo in our Webshop

(1) Scope and duration of the processing

We use Matomo (previously known as “PIWIK”) in our webshop. It is an open source software of the provider InnoCraft Ltd., 150 Willis St., 6011 Wellington, New Zealand, with which the use of our website can be analysed. Following data is processed by Matomo:

  •  IP Address
  • The visited website
  • The website from which you have accessed our website (referrer)
  • The duration of the visit
  • The frequency of the visits

 

For the collection of this data, Matomo sets a cookie on your device through your browser. This cookie lasts 1 week. We use Matomo exclusively with the anonymisation function “Automatically Anonymise Visitor IPs” which shortens your IP address in order to prevent the connection with an identifiable person. You can find further information under: https://matomo.org/docs/privacy/

Should you object to this processing, you can prevent the storage of cookies through the settings of your browser.

(2) Purpose and legal basis

Through the use of the Matomo software, we aim to statistically analyse our online presence in order to optimise it. The legal basis therefore relies on your consent according to Art. 6, 1., f) GDPR.

§9 Integration of Google Maps

(1) We use the service provided by Google Maps on this website. We are thus able to provide you with interactive maps directly on our website and to enable your comfortable use of the maps function.

(2) When you visit our website, Google will be notified that you have called up the relevant sub-page of our website. In addition, the data indicated under § 3 of this statement will be transferred. This will occur irrespective of whether you have a Google user account and are logged in to this or you do not have a user account. If you have logged in to Google, your data will be directly associated with your account. If you would prefer these data not to be associated with your Google profile, you must log out before activating this button. Google will save your data as usage profiles and use them for the purposes of advertising, market research and/or the appropriate design of its website. In particular, this evaluation (even for users who have not logged in) is implemented in order to provide appropriate advertising and to notify other users of the social network of your activities on our website. You have a right to object to the creation of these usage profiles and should contact Google in order to exercise this right.

(3) Further information on the purpose and scope of collection of data and their processing by the plug-in provider may be found in the provider’s data privacy statements. You will also find further information here on your rights in this regard and on possible settings in order to protect your privacy: http://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy

§10 Use of Google Adwords Conversion

(1) We use the services of Google Adwords in order to draw attention to our attractive products and services by means of advertising (so-called “Google Adwords”) featured on external websites. We are able to determine the level of success for individual advertising measures by comparison with the data for our advertising campaigns. Our aim here is to show you advertising which is of interest to you, to increase your level of interest in our website and to calculate advertising costs fairly.

(2) Google delivers these adverts by means of so-called “ad servers.” For this purpose, we use ad server cookies which enable the evaluation of specific performance measurement parameters, such as how often our adverts are displayed or the number of users’ clicks. If you access our website by clicking on a Google advert, Google Adwords will save a cookie on your PC. As a rule, these cookies expire after a period of 30 days and are not intended to identify you personally. As a rule, for the purpose of analysis statistics the unique cookie ID, the number of ad impressions per placement (frequency), the most recent impression (relevant for post-view conversions) as well as opt-out information (indicating that the user would prefer no further contact) will be saved within the scope of this cookie.

(3) These cookies enable Google to identify your Internet browser. If a user visits certain pages of the website of an Adwords customer and the cookie saved on his computer has not yet expired, Google and the customer will be able to determine that the user has clicked on the advert in question and has been forwarded to this page. A different cookie will be allocated to each Adwords customer. Cookies cannot therefore be traced via the websites of Adwords customers. We will not collect or process any personal data as part of the above-mentioned advertising measures. We merely receive statistical evaluations from Google. These evaluations enable us to identify which of our advertising measures are particularly effective. We do not receive any further data relating to the use of advertising. In particular, we are not able to identify users on the basis of this information.

(4) Due to the marketing tools which we use, your browser will automatically establish a direct connection with Google’s server. We do not have any influence over the scope or further use of the data which Google collects by means of this tool. The information provided by us thus reflects the scope of the information available to us: the integration of AdWords Conversion means that Google will be notified that you have called up the relevant section of our website or have clicked on one of our adverts. If you have signed up for a Google service, Google will be able to associate your visit with your account. Even if you have not registered with Google or logged in there, this service provider may be able to identify and save your IP address.

(5) You may prevent your inclusion in this tracking process by various means:

a) through a relevant setting in your browser software. In particular, rejecting third-party cookies means that you will not receive any adverts from third-party providers;

b) by deactivating the cookies for conversion tracking by adjusting your browser’s settings so as to block cookies for the domain ”www.googleadservices.com”, https://www.google.de/settings/ads. However, this setting will be deleted when you delete your cookies;

c) by deactivating interest-based adverts from providers which have signed up to the self-regulation campaign “About Ads” via the link http://www.aboutads.info/choices. However, this setting will be deleted when you delete your cookies;

d) by permanently deactivating this in your Firefox, Internet Explorer or Google Chrome browser via the link http://www.google.com/settings/ads/plugin. However, please note that in this case you may not be able to use all of the functions of this website.

(6) The basis in law for the processing of your data is Art. 6 (1) Clause 1f GDPR. You will find further information on data privacy at Google here: http://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy and https://services.google.com/sitestats/en.html. Alternatively, you may visit the website of the Network Advertising Initiative (NAI), http://www.networkadvertising.org

§11 Use of video conference systems

We use the "Microsoft Teams" tool or “Zoom” to conduct conference calls, online meetings, video conferences and/or webinars. "Microsoft Teams" is a service provided by Microsoft Corporation. "Zoom" is a service provided by Zoom Video Communications, Inc. You can find the data protection information in here.

§12 Use of MADixel

This website uses the analysis tool MADixel from the company MADixel GmbH (Königsdorfer Straße 25, 82515 Wolfratshausen) to determine which companies have visited the website. The tracking is limited here exclusively to companies. MADIXEL compares the IP address of a website visitor with the known IP addresses of companies using databases, some of which are publicly accessible. If there is a match, certain generally accessible company data is processed and made available to the website operator on a platform. The matching is performed using an encrypted function known as hashing. Accesses from private individuals are already filtered out in advance in a pre-selection process. If the IP address is private, it is neither stored nor identified. A cookie is only set on the end devices of website visitors if the user actively clicks on the "deactivate tracking" function. The legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. f DSGVO.

Updating the privacy policy

This “Privacy Policy” shall be updated if EagleBurgmann Germany GmbH & Co. KG introduces new products or services, or if Internet procedures are changed or if the Internet and EDP security technology has been further developed.
