f. Matomo

We use the web analytics tool Matomo (formerly Piwik) from InnoCraft Ltd, 150 Willis St, 6011 Wellington, New Zealand, NZBN 6106769, („InnoCraft Ltd.“) on our website.

Matomo is an open source web analytics tool. We use information provided to us by the terminal device you are using. Technical data is automatically transmitted with every call that your web browser sends to our web server. This is necessary so that our web server can provide the content you have requested in the best possible way for the terminal device you are using. Based on the technical data, we can distinguish between end devices used by different users. The following data is collected and stored using Matomo:

• the IP address of the user, shortened by the last three bytes (anonymized)
• the sub-page called up and the time of the call-up
• the page from which the user accessed our website (referrer)
• which browser with which plugins, which operating system and which screen resolution is used
• the time spent on the website
• the pages that are accessed from the sub-page called up

The IP address is shortened immediately after it is recorded and before it is stored. The recognition of returning users is done with the help of a so-called config_id. This is a random string of characters that is calculated using the first 2 bytes of the IP address, as well as the browser plugins, the operating system and the selected browser language of the user, and is then hashed. The ID is deleted and recreated after 24 hours so that the user cannot be recognised by the website on subsequent visits.

If you agree to the use of Matomo, cookies will be set on your terminal device, for which the legal basis is Section 25 para. 1 TTDSG. Any subsequent processing of data is based on your consent declared to us in accordance with Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR.

The cookies used by Matomo have a lifespan of 30 minutes to 13 months and are used to identify the user and the referrer website.

The privacy policy of Matomo can be found under the following link: https://matomo.org/docs/privacy/.

We use the Matomo Cloud to store the data. The servers are located exclusively in the EU. The data is not passed on to third parties.

A user can prevent an analysis by Matomo by making use of the following opt-out.

g. HubSpot

Our website uses HubSpot, a marketing automation software from HubSpot Inc, 25 First Street, 2nd Floor, Cambridge, MA 02141, USA, („HubSpot”). HubSpot helps us to analyse the use of our website.

This involves the use of so-called “web beacons” and also the setting of “cookies”, which are stored on your computer and enable an analysis of your use of the website by us. HubSpot analyses the information collected (e.g. IP address, geographical location, type of browser, length of visit and pages viewed) on our behalf in order to generate reports about the visit.

Certain usage data is linked to your person (e.g. after entry in a registration form) and stored in our CRM. This enables us to send you information and offers tailored to your interests

In addition, we also use HubSpot to provide contact forms. You can find more information on this under section 2. b.

If you agree to the use of HubSpot, cookies are set on your end device and web beacons are used. The legal basis for this is Section 25 para. 1 TTDSG. Any subsequent processing of data is based on your consent declared to us in accordance with Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR.

When using Hubspot, we store your personal data for as long as is necessary to provide you with information and offers tailored to your needs.

The use of Hubspot results in a transfer of your data to the USA. There is no adequacy decision of the European Commission for data transfers to the USA. The data transfer takes place, among other things, on the basis of standard contractual clauses as appropriate guarantees for the protection of personal data, which we have concluded with Hubspot in a data processing contract, viewable at: www.legal.hubspot.com/dpa.

h. Salesviewer

We use the web analysis system SalesViewer® of SalesViewer GmbH, Huestraße 30, 44787 Bochum („SalesViewer“) on our website.

The data collected using this technology is encrypted using a non-reversible one-way function (known as hashing). The data is immediately pseudonymized and not used to personally identify the visitor to this website. These online identifiers are matched by the provider with a database limited to company-related data.

The data stored as part of Salesviewer will be deleted as soon as it is no longer required for its intended purpose and the deletion does not conflict with any statutory retention obligations.

The legal basis for the processing of your data is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The processing of your data is based on our legitimate interests for marketing, market research and optimization purposes.

Google Analytics enables us to analyze and evaluate the use of our website in order to compile reports on the website activities of our visitors based on this information. Google Analytics also creates pseudonymized usage profiles of website visitors. By using Google Analytics, technically non-essential cookies as well as online identifiers (including cookie identifiers), IP addresses and your device identifiers are used. We use Google Analytics exclusively with the „Anonymize-IP“ extension, which deletes part of your IP address before it is transmitted to Google. Google Ireland is a service provider in the context of the use of Google Analytics.

We have also enabled the Google Analytics „Demographic Characteristics“ advertising features. This allows us to analyze visitors to our website by age (18-24, 25-34, 35-44, 45-54, 55-64, 65+), gender (male, female), affinity categories (lifestyle similar to TV audiences, e.g., tech enthusiasts, sports fans, and hobby cooks), segments with ready-to-buy audiences (interested in buying products), and other categories, and create remarketing audiences based on these. According to Google Ireland (https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/2799357?hl=en#zippy=%2Cthemen-in-diesem-artikel%2Cin-this-article), this data comes from DoubleClick third-party cookies, an Android advertising ID or iOS Identifier for Advertisers (IDFA). We cannot assign which visitor exactly belongs to a specific group mentioned above. We do not know whether Google Ireland can identify you personally.

If you agree to the use of Google Analytics, cookies will be set on your terminal device. The legal basis for this is Sec. 25 para. 1 TTDSG. Subsequent processing of data is based on your consent given to us in accordance with Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR.

Google is a service provider in the context of the use of the Google Tag Manager.

If you agree to the use of the Google Tag Manager, cookies will be set on your terminal device. The legal basis for this is Sec. 25 para. 1 TTDSG. Any subsequent processing of data is based on your consent declared to us in accordance with Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR.

Since the Google Tag Manager itself is only a control system for setting tags and the associated cookies, we refer to the explanations on the other services in this data protection declaration with regard to the cookies set.

Google Ads enables us to display advertisements in the Google search engine or on third-party websites when the user enters certain search terms on Google (keyword targeting). Furthermore, targeted advertisements can be played out based on the user data available at Google (e.g. interests) (audience targeting). We can evaluate this data quantitatively by analyzing, for example, how many ads have led to corresponding clicks and which search terms have led to the playout of our ads.

If you agree to the use of Google Ads, cookies will be set on your terminal device. The legal basis for this is Sec. 25 para. 1 TTDSG. Subsequent processing of data is based on your consent declared to us in accordance with Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR.
