We have an interest in enabling user-friendly use of our website and in optimising it. We also use permanent (“persistent”) cookies. These allow us to statistically record and analyse the use of our website. The purpose is the improvement of our
website (see III.3.). When you visit our website, you will be informed in a cookie banner (“Privacy Settings”) about the use of cookies for statistical analysis purposes and will be asked to consent to the processing of personal data used in this context. In this context, reference is also made to
this Privacy Policy.
If you have consented to permanent cookies, legal basis for this is your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 a) GDPR. In addition, we use permanent cookies that store information as to whether you have consented to the use of Google Analytics / Google Tag Manager or have rejected it.
Legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 f) GDPR. We have an interest in preventing the cookie banner from being displayed again each time you visit our website. This allows us to make it easier for you to use our website.
When you visit our website, you will be informed in a cookie banner (“Privacy Settings”) about the use of cookies for statistical analysis purposes and your consent to the processing of the personal data used in this context. Reference is also made in this context to

3. Google Analytics / Tag Manager
We use Google Analytics. This is an analysis service provided by Google Ireland Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as “Google”). The service creates pseudonymous user profiles of visitors to our website. Google also uses technology to track your surfing behaviour such as “cross-device tracking” and permanent cookies (see Section III. 2.). The information generated by the cookie about your use of our website is processed by Google in the USA. This information is the data mentioned above under Section III.1. Google also processes the search term with which you found our website via a search engine, the sequence in which you accessed subpages and the length of time you spent on these subpages. Your IP address is usually truncated by Google within the European Union or the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to the USA and anonymised there. Further information about Google Analytics can be found here.
Why is this data processed?
The data is processed for the purposes of market research and the improvement of our website. This means that we evaluate information about your visits to our website for analysis purposes in order to understand how visitors use our website. Google processes this data in order to compile reports on the use of our website. Legal basis is your consent if you have clicked on “Accept all” in the cookie banner or ticked “Statistics” in the cookie settings (Art. 6 para. 1 a) GDPR). Google may also use this data for other purposes, over which we have no control.
How long is this data stored?
The data compiled by Google Analytics is stored for different periods of time, depending on the type of data involved. Google Analytics cookies are valid for 24 months. If you revoke your consent, the data will be deleted earlier. Do you need to provide us with this data? The provision of this data is voluntary. How can you prevent the use of Google Analytics? You can revoke your consent to the use of Google Analytics at any time. You can prevent the saving of cookies, tracking and thus the use of Google Analytics by adjusting the settings in your browser (see Section III.2.). If you do not want your website activity to be made available to Google Analytics, you can install the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on. This prevents activity data from being shared with Google Analytics through JavaScript running on websites. If you use several end devices or browsers, you must click on this link / button for each individual end device in each individual browser. Alternatively, you can prevent the processing of the data generated by the cookie by installing the plugin available here. You can prevent the saving of cookies, tracking and thus the use of Google Analytics by adjusting the settings in your browser (see Section III. 2.). Alternatively, you can use prevent the processing of the data generated by the cookie by installing the plugin available here.
Even if you do not allow cookies, but use several end devices, Google can assign your surfing behaviour to one person. This is the case if you use your Google account on your end devices, since Google Universal Analytics uses not only cookies, but also other technology for “tracking”. Google calls one such technology “Signals”. This allows for “cross-device tracking” without cookies. If you do not want this, you can turn off “personalised advertising” in your Google Account. Google will then no longer link your surfing behaviour to your Google Account. top
4. Contact form and emails
We process data that you have entered in our contact form or sent to us by email so that we can process and answer your enquiry. Why is this data processed? We process your email address and the message you enter in our contact form or communicate to us by email in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 f) GDPR. We have a legitimate interest in processing your enquiries. Other data is processed on the basis of your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 a) GDPR), provided that you have entered it in the “Message” field and consented by clicking on the “Send” button. If you are also our customer, Art. 6 para.1 b) GDPR is the legal basis. If you enter sensitive information in the “Message” field that contains special categories of data (e.g. country of origin, political or religious beliefs, trade union membership, health or sexual data), you also consent to the processing of this data.
How long is the data stored? Do you need to provide this data?
The stored data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer required to achieve the purpose for which it was collected. For the personal data from the contact form or sent by email, this is the case when the respective conversation with the enquirer has ended, i.e. it can be inferred from the circumstances that the facts in question have been conclusively clarified. This only applies if we are not required to store the data for a longer period due to statutory regulations in conjunction with Art. 6 para. 1 c) GDPR. If you are also our customer, Section II. 7. applies to the storage periods.
.
The provision of this data is not mandatory and is not necessary for the conclusion of a contract. However, the use of the contact form requires that you provide an email address, since we will otherwise be unable to respond. Insofar as you provide further data, this is on a voluntary basis. top
IV. Will your data be passed on to third parties?
We pass on at least some of your data to contract processors. They process your data only as per our instructions and not for their own purposes (Art. 28, 29 GDPR). The following companies process the data for the following purposes:
  • Processors in Germany who provide web hosting services
  • Germany-based Internet agency for website maintenance
In certain cases, we may pass on some of your data to other recipients. This may be the case if you have consented to this (Art. 6 para. 1 a) GDPR), we are legally obligated to do so (Art. 6 para. 1 c) GDPR), or if this is necessary to safeguard legitimate interests (Art. 6 para. 1 f) GDPR). The following recipients receive data for the following purposes:
  • Google Ireland Ltd., Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (Google [Universal] Analytics)
  • Postal, logistics and telecommunications companies (shipping and communication)
  • Law enforcement authorities and courts (enforcement or defence of legal claims)

  • Insurance (settlement of claims)
V. What rights do you have in relation to your data?
Under the conditions of Art. 15 GDPR, you can request information from us as to whether we process your data. If this is the case, you have the right to receive information about this data. In the event that the data stored by us pertaining to you is incorrect or incomplete, you can request correction and, if necessary, completion of this data (Art. 16 GDPR). If the legal requirements are met, you can request the erasure (Art. 17 GDPR) or restriction of processing (Art. 18 GDPR) of your data. In the case of automatically processed data that we have received from you on the basis of your consent or a contract, you can assert the right to data portability (Art. 20 GDPR). We will then send you your data in a machine-readable format. If you wish and this is technically possible, we will transfer this data to a third party. All of the foregoing rights may be limited or excluded by law in certain cases.
If you have consented to the processing of your data for a specific purpose, you can revoke your consent at any time. The revocation only takes effect for the future and therefore has no effect on the lawfulness of the processing carried out before the revocation. Information on your right to object (Art. 21 GDPR): insofar as we collect data exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 (1) f) GDPR (balancing of interests), you can object to the processing of your data at any time for reasons arising from your particular situation. If you object, we will no longer process this data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that outweigh your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves to enforce legal claims.
You can assert all the aforementioned rights in an email to info@euba.de or by post to the postal address specified under Section I above. You also have the right to complain to a data protection authority of your choice about the processing of your data, for example to the State Commissioner for Data Protection North Rhine-Westphalia, Postfach 200444, 40102 Düsseldorf (Tel.: 0211/38424-0, Email: poststelle@ldi.nrw.de).
