Your data is collected, processed and used in accordance with the statutory provisions, which you can find out more about at www.datenschutz.de, for example.

c.) You are neither legally nor contractually obliged to provide your personal data. However, it is possible that certain functions of our websites depend on the provision of personal data. If you do not provide personal data in these cases, this may result in functions not being available or only being available to a limited extent.

 

a.) We use the data collected when you visit our website to operate our pages as conveniently as possible for you and to protect our IT systems from attacks and other illegal activities.
If you have provided us with personal data, we will only use it to fulfill your wishes and requests, such as to answer your inquiry.

You have the right to revoke such consent at any time with effect for the future.

The personal data will be deleted,

• if you revoke your consent to storage;

  6. Evaluation of usage data; use of analysis tools

  a.) We would like to tailor the content of our websites as precisely as possible to your interests and in this way improve our offer for you. We use the following analysis tool(s) to identify usage preferences and particularly popular areas of the websites: Google Analytics

  b.) When using these analysis tools, data may be transferred to servers located in the USA and processed there. Please note the following: From the perspective of the European Union, there is no “adequate level of protection” for the processing of personal data in the USA in line with EU standards. However, this level of protection can be replaced for individual companies by certification in accordance with the so-called “EU-U.S. Privacy Shield”.

  c.) If you do not want us to collect and evaluate information about your visit to our websites using the aforementioned analysis tools, you can object to this at any time for the future (“opt-out”).
  We will implement your objection by setting an opt-out cookie in your browser. This cookie is only used to assign your objection. Please note that, for technical reasons, an opt-out cookie only works in the browser in which it was set. If you delete the cookies or use a different browser or device, please opt out again.

  d.) Below you will find information on the providers of the analysis tools we use and the respective opt-out option:

Google may also transfer this information to third parties where required to do so by law, or where such third parties process the information on Google’s behalf. Third-party providers, including Google, place advertisements on websites on the Internet.

  7. Usage-based information (targeting and retargeting)

  In order to tailor our online marketing (e.g. banner advertising) on the websites of our retargeting partners (Google AdWords and Google Doubleclick) more specifically to your needs and interests, we use so-called retargeting technologies. Your interest in our products and services is stored in cookies. When you visit other websites that work with our retargeting partners, these cookies are read and used to provide you with information that is as relevant to your interests as possible. This is done anonymously, i.e. you cannot be identified via retargeting.
  If you do not want plantecs GmbH and its retargeting partners to collect, store and analyze information about your visit and tailor banner advertising to your interests, you can object to this at any time for the future (opt-out).
