Privacy policy

Status 11.03.2022

Our company takes the protection of personal data very seriously. We want you to know when we store which data and how we use it. When handling and processing personal data, we comply with the requirements of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (DSGVO) and the new Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG).

1. Introduction

With the following information, we would like to give you, as the “data subject,” an overview of how we process your personal data and your rights under data protection laws. It is generally possible to use our website without entering any personal data. However, if you wish to use specific services offered by our company via our website, it may be necessary to process personal data. If the processing of personal data is necessary and there is no legal basis for such processing, we will generally obtain your consent.
The processing of personal data, such as your name, address, or email address, is always carried out in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and in compliance with the country-specific data protection regulations applicable to “Alfred Weigel Federnfabrik GmbH & CO. KG”. With this privacy policy, we would like to inform you about the scope and purpose of the personal data we collect, use, and process.
As the controller responsible for processing, we have implemented numerous technical and organizational measures to ensure the most complete protection possible of the personal data processed via this website. Nevertheless, Internet-based data transmissions can generally have security gaps, so that absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, you are free to transmit personal data to us by alternative means, for example by telephone or mail.

2. Responsible party

The controller within the meaning of the GDPR is:
Alfred Weigel Federnfabrik GmbH & CO. KG
Annaberger Straße 138, D-091 Chemnitz, Germany

4. Transfer of data to third parties

Your personal data will not be transferred to third parties for purposes other than those listed below.
We will only pass on your personal data to third parties if:

1. you have given us your express consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR,
2. the transfer is permissible under Art. 6 (1) lit. f) GDPR to safeguard our legitimate interests and there is no reason to assume that you have an overriding interest worthy of protection in not disclosing your data,
3. there is a legal obligation to disclose the data in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (c) GDPR, and
4. this is legally permissible and necessary for the performance of contractual relationships with you pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR.

In order to protect your data and, if necessary, enable us to transfer data to third countries (outside the EU/EEA), we have concluded agreements on order processing based on the standard contractual clauses of the European Commission. If the standard contractual clauses are not sufficient to establish an adequate level of security, your consent pursuant to Art. 49 (1) (a) GDPR may serve as the legal basis for the transfer to third countries. This does not apply to data transfers to third countries for which the European Commission has issued an adequacy decision pursuant to Art. 45 GDPR.

Your personal data will not be transferred to third parties for purposes other than those listed below.
We will only disclose your personal data to third parties if:

1. you have given us your express consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR,
2. the transfer is permissible under Article 6(1)(f) GDPR to safeguard our legitimate interests and there is no reason to assume that you have an overriding interest worthy of protection in not disclosing your data,
3. there is a legal obligation to disclose the data in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (c) GDPR, and
4. this is legally permissible and necessary for the performance of contractual relationships with you pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR.

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

5. Technology

5.1 SSL/TLS encryption

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

5.2 Data collection when visiting the website

When you use our website for informational purposes only, if you do not register or otherwise provide us with information or give your consent to processing that requires consent, we only collect data that is technically necessary to provide the service. This is usually data that your browser transmits to our server (“in so-called server log files”). Our website collects a range of general data and information each time you or an automated system accesses a page. This general data and information is stored in the server’s log files. The following may be collected:

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

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

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

We therefore evaluate this collected data and information statistically and with the aim of increasing data protection and data security in our company in order to ultimately ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data we process. The data in the server log files is stored separately from all personal data provided by a data subject.
The legal basis for data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest follows from the purposes listed above for data collection.

5.3 Data collection when visiting the website

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

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

We therefore evaluate this collected data and information statistically on the one hand and with the aim of increasing data protection and data security in our company on the other, in order to ultimately ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data we process. The anonymous data in the server log files is stored separately from all personal data provided by a data subject.

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

5.4 Amazon Web Services (AWS) – Hosting of individual components

Components from Amazon Web Services (AWS) of Amazon.com Inc., Seattle, 410 Terry Ave N, United States, are integrated into our website. Amazon Web Services (AWS) is the world’s most comprehensive and most frequently used cloud.

The purpose of using AWS in this case is, among other things, to host applications and services on AWS and to rent resources for computationally intensive tasks.
If you have consented to the use of services hosted by AWS, the legal basis for the processing of personal data is Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR. In addition, it is in our legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR to use AWS to host individual components in order to operate our website in an appealing and secure manner.
The parent company Amazon Inc. is certified as a US company under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework. This constitutes an adequacy decision pursuant to Art. 45 GDPR, meaning that personal data may be transferred without further guarantees or additional measures.

You can view the AWS privacy policy at: https://d1.awsstatic.com/legal/privacypolicy/AWS_Privacy_Notice_German_2023-08-11.pdf.

5.5 Hosting by All-Inkl

6. Cookies

6.1 General information about cookies

Cookies are small files that your browser automatically creates and that are stored on your IT system (laptop, tablet, smartphone, etc.) when you visit our website.
The cookie stores information that is related to the specific device used. However, this does not mean that we immediately become aware of your identity.
The use of cookies serves to make the use of our website more pleasant for you. For example, we use so-called session cookies to recognize that you have already visited individual pages of our website. These are automatically deleted after you leave our site.

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

We also use cookies to collect statistics on the use of our website and to evaluate our offering for you for the purpose of optimization. These cookies enable us to automatically recognize that you have already visited our website when you visit it again. The cookies set in this way are automatically deleted after a defined period of time. The respective storage period of the cookies can be found in the settings of the consent tool used.

6.2 Legal basis for the use of cookies

The data processed by the cookies, which is necessary for the proper functioning of the website, is therefore necessary to safeguard our legitimate interests and those of third parties in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. f) GDPR.

For all other cookies, you have given your consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR via our opt-in cookie banner.

6.3 Borlabs Cookie (consent management tool)

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

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

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

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

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

The data collected is neither forwarded to Borlabs GmbH nor does it have access to it.
Further information can be found at: https://de.borlabs.io/borlabs-cookie/.

7. Content of our website

7.1 Contacting us / contact form

When you contact us (e.g., via contact form or email), personal data is collected. The data collected when using a contact form can be seen in the respective contact form. This data is stored and used exclusively for the purpose of responding to your request or for establishing contact and the associated technical administration. The legal basis for the processing of the data is our legitimate interest in responding to your request in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. f) GDPR. If your contact request is aimed at concluding a contract, the additional legal basis for processing is Art. 6 (1) lit. b) GDPR. Your data will be deleted after your request has been processed, which is the case when it can be inferred from the circumstances that the matter in question has been conclusively clarified and there are no legal retention obligations that prevent deletion.

7.2 Services / Digital Goods

We only transfer personal data to third parties if this is necessary for the execution of the contract, for example to the credit institution responsible for payment processing.

No further transfer of data will take place unless you have expressly consented to the transfer. Your data will not be passed on to third parties without your express consent, for example for advertising purposes.

The basis for data processing is Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR, which permits the processing of data for the performance of a contract or pre-contractual measures.

7.3 Application management / job exchange

We collect and process the personal data of applicants for the purpose of handling the application process. Processing may also be carried out electronically. This is particularly the case if an applicant submits the relevant application documents to us electronically, for example by email or via a web form on the website. If we conclude an employment or service contract with an applicant, the data transmitted will be stored for the purpose of processing the employment relationship in compliance with the statutory provisions. If we do not conclude a contract with the applicant, the application documents will be automatically deleted six months after notification of the rejection decision, provided that no other legitimate interests on our part prevent deletion. Another legitimate interest in this sense is, for example, the burden of proof in proceedings under the General Equal Treatment Act (AGG).

The legal basis for the processing of your data is Art. 6 (1) lit. b), 88 GDPR in conjunction with § 26 (1) BDSG.

8. Our activities on social networks

We have our own pages on social networks so that we can communicate with you there and inform you about our services. When you visit one of our social media pages, we are jointly responsible with the provider of the respective social media platform for the processing operations triggered by this, within the meaning of Art. 26 GDPR.
We are not the original provider of these pages, but merely use them within the scope of the options offered to us by the respective providers.
As a precautionary measure, we would therefore like to point out that your data may also be processed outside the European Union or the European Economic Area. This may involve data protection risks for you, as it may be more difficult to exercise your rights, e.g., to information, deletion, objection, etc., and processing on social networks is often carried out directly for advertising purposes or to analyze user behavior by the providers, without us being able to influence this. If usage profiles are created by the provider, cookies are often used or your usage behavior is assigned to your own member profile on social networks.

The processing of personal data described above is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest and the legitimate interest of the respective provider in communicating with you in a modern way and informing you about our services. If you have to give your consent to data processing as a user to the respective providers, the legal basis refers to Art. 6 (1) lit. a) GDPR in conjunction with Art. 7 GDPR.

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

9. Web analytics

9.1 Google Analytics 4 (GA4)

We use Google Analytics 4 (GA4), a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (“Google”), on our websites.
In this context, pseudonymized usage profiles are created and cookies (see “Cookies”) are used. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website may include:

-a short-term recording of the IP address without permanent storage
-Location data
-Browser type/version
-Operating system used
-Referrer URL (previously visited page)
-Time of server request

The pseudonymized data may be transferred by Google to a server in the USA and stored there.

The information is used to evaluate the use of the website, to compile reports on website activity, and to provide other services related to website activity and internet usage for the purposes of market research and the needs-based design of this website. This information may also be transferred to third parties if this is required by law or if third parties process this data on behalf of the website operator.

These processing operations are carried out exclusively with the express consent of the user in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR.
The default data storage period set by Google is 14 months. Otherwise, personal data is stored for as long as it is necessary to fulfill the purpose of processing. The data is deleted as soon as it is no longer necessary to achieve the purpose.

The parent company Google LLC is certified as a US company under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework. This means that an adequacy decision pursuant to Art. 45 GDPR has been made, so that personal data may be transferred without further guarantees or additional measures.
Further information on data protection when using GA4 can be found at: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/12017362?hl=de.

9.2 Google Analytics 4 (GA4) – Additional information on consent mode, extended implementation

Under the Digital Markets Act, Google is required to obtain user consent before user data can be processed by Google for personalized advertising. Google complies with this requirement through “Consent Mode.” Users are required to implement this mode and thus demonstrate that they have obtained the consent of website visitors.
Google offers two implementation modes: simple and advanced implementation.

We use the advanced implementation method of Google Consent Mode. If you consent to data processing in connection with the use of GA4 (see above), a connection to Google is established, Google Analytics cookies are set, and the corresponding processing is carried out. If you refuse to give your consent, no Google Analytics cookies will be set. However, a unique “ping ID” is generated and transmitted to Google. The Google code is executed, whereby only limited user data is transmitted to Google, including information such as:

-IP address
-Browser details
-Visited URL

A personalized user ID is not assigned.

If you have consented to Google Analytics 4, Consent Mode, extended implementation, being executed, the legal basis for the processing of personal data is Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR. In addition, it is in our legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR to use Google Analytics 4, Consent Mode, extended implementation, in order to obtain data on conversions without creating user profiles and thus increase profitability.

9.3 Leadinfo (lead generation service)

We use the lead generation service provided by Leadinfo B.V., Rivium Quadrant 141, Capelle aan den IJssel, South Holland 2909, on our website.
The service recognizes visits by companies to our website based on IP addresses and shows us publicly available information such as company names or addresses. IP addresses are neither displayed nor stored.

In addition, Leadinfo sets two first-party cookies to evaluate user behavior on our website and processes domains from form entries (e.g., \?leadinfo.com\?) in order to correlate IP addresses with companies and improve its services.
The following data is generally collected and processed:

-IP address without permanent storage
-Location based on the IP address
-Domain from form field entries

These processing operations are carried out exclusively with your express consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR. Your data will be stored until the purpose has been achieved or until you withdraw your consent.

For more information on Leadinfo’s privacy policy, please visit: https://www.leadinfo.com/de/rechtliches/datenschutz/.

9.4 WordPress Stats – Jetpack

This website uses the WordPress tool “WordPress Stats” provided by Jetpack to statistically evaluate visitor traffic. The provider is Automattic Inc., 60 29th Street #343, San Francisco, CA 94110-4929, USA. The operating company uses tracking technology from Quantcast Inc., 201 Third Street, San Francisco, CA 94103, USA.
Jetpack uses cookies that are stored on your computer and enable WordPress Stats to analyze how you use the website. The information generated by the cookies about your use of our website is stored on servers in the USA. Your IP address is anonymized after processing and before storage.

The cookies remain on your device until you delete them.

These processing operations are carried out exclusively with your express consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR.
This US company is certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework. This constitutes an adequacy decision pursuant to Art. 45 GDPR, meaning that personal data may be transferred without further guarantees or additional measures.

10. Advertising

10.1 Google Ads (AdWords) remarketing/retargeting

We have integrated Google Ads on this website. The operator of Google Ads services is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (“Google”).
This allows us to advertise this website in Google search results and on third-party websites. For this purpose, Google places a cookie in the browser of your device, which automatically enables interest-based advertising using a pseudonymous cookie ID and based on the pages you have visited.
Any further data processing only takes place if you have agreed to Google linking your internet and app browsing history to your Google account and using information from your Google account to personalize the ads you see on the web. In this case, if you are logged into Google while visiting our website, Google will use your data together with Google Analytics data to create and define target group lists for cross-device remarketing. To do this, Google temporarily links your personal data with Google Analytics data to form target groups.

These processing operations are carried out exclusively with your express consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR.

The parent company Google LLC is certified as a US company under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework. This means that an adequacy decision pursuant to Art. 45 GDPR has been made, so that personal data may be transferred without further guarantees or additional measures.
You can view the privacy policy and further information from Google Ads at: https://www.google.com/policies/technologies/ads/

10.2 Google Ads with conversion tracking

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

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

If you access our website via a Google ad, Google will place a so-called conversion cookie on your IT system. A conversion cookie expires after thirty days and is not used to identify you. The conversion cookie is used to track whether certain subpages, such as the shopping cart of an online shop system, have been accessed on our website, provided that the cookie has not yet expired. The conversion cookie allows both us and Google to track whether a user who accessed our website via an AdWords ad generated a sale, i.e., completed or canceled a purchase.

The data and information collected through the use of the conversion cookie is used by Google to compile visit statistics for our website. We in turn use these visit statistics to determine the total number of users who were referred to us via Ads, i.e. to determine the success or failure of the respective Ads and to optimize our Ads for the future. Neither our company nor other Google Ads advertisers receive information from Google that could be used to identify you.
The conversion cookie stores personal information, such as the websites you have visited. Each time you visit our website, personal data, including the IP address of the Internet connection you are using, is transmitted to Google in the United States of America. This personal data is stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may pass on this personal data collected using technical procedures to third parties.

These processing operations are carried out exclusively with your express consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR.
The parent company Google LLC is certified as a US company under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework. This means that an adequacy decision pursuant to Art. 45 GDPR has been made, so that personal data may be transferred without further guarantees or additional measures.

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

10.3 Google Ads – Additional information on consent mode, extended implementation

Under the Digital Markets Act, Google is required to obtain user consent before user data is processed by Google for personalized advertising. Google complies with this requirement with “Consent Mode.” Users are required to implement this and thus prove that they have obtained the consent of website visitors.
Google offers two implementation modes: simple and advanced implementation.

We use the advanced implementation method of Google Consent Mode. If you consent to data processing in connection with the use of Google Ads (see above), a connection to Google is established, Google Analytics cookies are set, and the corresponding processing is carried out. If you refuse to give your consent, no Google Ads cookies will be set. However, a unique “ping ID” is generated and transmitted to Google. The Google code is executed, whereby only limited user data is transmitted to Google, including information such as:

-IP address
-Browser details
-Visited URL

A personalized user ID is not assigned.

If you have consented to Google Ads, Consent Mode, extended implementation, being executed, the legal basis for the processing of personal data is Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR. In addition, it is in our legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR to use Google Analytics 4, Consent Mode, advanced implementation, in order to obtain data on conversions without creating user profiles and thus increase economic efficiency.

11. Plugins and other services

11.1 Google Maps

We use Google Maps (API) on our website. Google Maps is operated by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. Google Ireland Limited is part of the Google group of companies, headquartered at 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. Google Maps is a web service for displaying interactive (land) maps to visually represent geographic information. By using this service, you can, for example, view our location and make it easier to find us.
When you visit subpages that include Google Maps, information about your use of our website (such as your IP address) is transmitted to Google servers in the USA and stored there, provided you have given your consent within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR. In addition, Google Maps loads Google Web Fonts, Google Photos, and Google Stats. These services are also provided by Google Ireland Limited. When you visit a page that includes Google Maps, your browser loads the web fonts and photos required to display Google Maps into your browser cache. For this purpose, the browser you are using also establishes a connection to Google’s servers. This allows Google to know that our website has been accessed via your IP address. This occurs regardless of whether Google provides a user account that you are logged in to or whether no user account exists. If you are logged in to Google, your data will be directly associated with your account. If you do not want your data to be associated with your Google profile, you must log out of your Google user account. Google stores your data (even for users who are not logged in) as usage profiles and evaluates them. You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles, whereby you must contact Google to exercise this right.

If you do not agree to the future transmission of your data to Google in connection with the use of Google Maps, you also have the option of completely deactivating the Google Maps web service by disabling JavaScript in your browser. Google Maps and thus also the map display on this website cannot then be used.

These processing operations are carried out exclusively with your express consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR.

You can view Google’s terms of use at https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/terms/regional.html, and the additional terms of use for Google Maps can be found at https://www.google.com/intl/de_US/help/terms_maps.html.

You can view the Google Maps privacy policy at: (“Google Privacy Policy”): https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/.

11.2 Google reCAPTCHA

We use the reCAPTCHA function on this website. Google reCAPTCHA is operated by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. Google Ireland Limited is part of the Google group of companies, headquartered at 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. The reCAPTCHA function is primarily used to distinguish whether an entry is made by a natural person or is abusive due to machine and automated processing. The service also includes sending the IP address and, if necessary, other data required by Google for the reCAPTCHA service to Google.

These processing operations are carried out exclusively with the express consent of the user in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR.
The parent company Google LLC is certified as a US company under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework. This means that an adequacy decision pursuant to Art. 45 GDPR has been made, so that personal data may be transferred without further guarantees or additional measures.

Further information on Google reCAPTCHA and Google’s privacy policy can be found at: https://www.google.com/intl/de/policies/privacy/.

11.3 Google Tag Manager

We use the Google Tag Manager service on this website. Google Tag Manager is operated by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. Google Ireland Limited is part of the Google group of companies, headquartered at 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.
This tool allows “website tags” (i.e., keywords that are embedded in HTML elements) to be implemented and managed via an interface. By using Google Tag Manager, we can automatically track which button, link, or personalized image you have actively clicked on and can then record which content on our website is of particular interest to you.

The tool also triggers other tags, which may collect data. Google Tag Manager does not access this data. If you have disabled tracking at the domain or cookie level, this will remain in effect for all tracking tags implemented with Google Tag Manager.

You have the right to receive the personal data concerning you that you have provided to us in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format. You also have the right to transmit this data to another controller without hindrance from us, to whom the personal data has been provided, provided that the processing is based on consent pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR or Art. 9(2)(a) GDPR or on a contract pursuant to Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR and the processing is carried out using automated means, unless the processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in us.
Furthermore, when exercising your right to data portability pursuant to Art. 20 (1) GDPR, you have the right to have the personal data transmitted directly from one controller to another controller, insofar as this is technically feasible and does not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others.

In individual cases, we process personal data for the purpose of direct marketing. You can object to the processing of personal data for the purpose of such advertising at any time. This also applies to profiling insofar as it is related to such direct marketing. If you object to us processing your data for direct marketing purposes, we will no longer process your personal data for these purposes.

In addition, you have the right to object, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to the processing of personal data concerning you which is carried out by us for scientific or historical research purposes or for statistical purposes in accordance with Article 89(1) of the GDPR, unless such processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest.
