Data protection

General notice and mandatory information

Name of the responsible body

The responsible body for data processing on this website is:

M2 Data GmbH
Marc Anders, Marc Bäuerle
Bergstraße 18
73207 Plochingen

The responsible body alone or together with others decides on the purposes and means of processing personal data (e.g. names, contact details, etc.).

Withdrawal of your consent to data processing

Some data processing processes are only possible with your express consent. You can withdraw your consent at any time. An informal notification by e-mail is sufficient for the revocation. The legality of the data processing carried out up to the time of revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

Right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority

As a data subject, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority in the event of a breach of data protection law. The competent supervisory authority with regard to data protection issues is the state data protection officer of the federal state in which our company is based. The following link provides a list of data protection officers and their contact details: https://www.bfdi.bund.de/DE/Infothek/Anschriften_Links/anschriften_links-node.html.

Right to data portability

You have the right to have data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfillment of a contract handed over to yourself or to third parties. It is provided in a machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of data to another person responsible, this will only be done insofar as it is technically feasible.

Right to information, correction, blocking, deletion

Within the framework of applicable legal provisions, you have the right to receive information free of charge about your stored personal data, the origin of the data, its recipients and the purpose of data processing and, if applicable, a right to correct, block or delete this data. You can contact us at any time using the contact options listed in the legal notice in this regard and also if you have any further questions on the subject of personal data.

SSL or TLS encryption

For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content that you send to us as the site operator, our website uses SSL or TLS encryption. This means that data that you submit via this website cannot be read by third parties. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the “https://” address line of your browser and by the lock icon in the browser line.

contact form

Data submitted via the contact form, including your contact details, is stored in order to be able to process your request or to be available for follow-up questions. This data will not be passed on without your consent.

The data entered in the contact form is processed exclusively on the basis of your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR). You can withdraw your consent at any time. An informal notification by e-mail is sufficient for the revocation. The legality of the data processing operations carried out up to the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

Data submitted via the contact form will remain with us until you request us to delete it, revoke your consent to store it or there is no longer any need to store data. Mandatory legal provisions - in particular retention periods - remain unaffected.

Newsletter data

We need an email address from you to send our newsletter. Verification of the email address provided is necessary and consent must be given to receipt of the newsletter. Additional data is not collected or is voluntary. The data is used exclusively for sending the newsletter.

The data provided when subscribing to the newsletter will be processed exclusively on the basis of your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR). You can withdraw your consent at any time. To cancel, simply send an informal message by e-mail or unsubscribe via the “unsubscribe” link in the newsletter. The legality of the data processing operations already carried out remains unaffected by the revocation.

Data entered to set up the subscription will be deleted if you unsubscribe. If this data has been transmitted to us for other purposes and elsewhere, it will remain with us.

youtube

Our website uses plugins from YouTube to integrate and display video content. The provider of the video portal is YouTube, LLC, 901 Cherry Ave., San Bruno, CA 94066, USA.

When you call up a page with an integrated YouTube plugin, a connection to YouTube's servers is established. This tells YouTube which of our pages you have visited.

YouTube can associate your surfing behavior directly with your personal profile if you are logged into your YouTube account. By logging out beforehand, you have the option to prevent this.

YouTube is used in the interest of presenting our online offerings in an appealing way. This represents a legitimate interest within the meaning of Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR.

Details on how to handle user data can be found in YouTube's privacy policy at: https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy.

cookies

Our website uses cookies. These are small text files that your web browser stores on your device. Cookies help us make our offering more user-friendly, effective and secure.

Some cookies are “session cookies.” Such cookies are automatically deleted at the end of your browser session. However, other cookies remain on your device until you delete them yourself. Such cookies help us recognize you when you return to our website.

With a modern web browser, you can monitor, restrict or prevent the setting of cookies. Many web browsers can be configured so that cookies are automatically deleted when you close the program. Deactivating cookies may result in limited functionality of our website.

Cookies, which are necessary to carry out electronic communication processes or to provide certain functions you have requested (e.g. shopping cart), are set on the basis of Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR. As the operator of this website, we have a legitimate interest in storing cookies for the technically error-free and smooth provision of our services. If other cookies (e.g. for analysis functions) are set, these are dealt with separately in this privacy policy.

Google Analytics

Our website uses features of the web analysis service Google Analytics. The provider of the web analysis service is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.

Google Analytics uses “cookies.” These are small text files that your web browser stores on your device and enable an analysis of website usage. Information generated by cookies about your use of our website is transmitted to a Google server and stored there. The server location is usually the USA.

Google Analytics cookies are set on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO. As the operator of this website, we have a legitimate interest in analyzing user behavior in order to optimize our website and, if applicable, advertising.

IP anonymization

We use Google Analytics in conjunction with the IP anonymization function. It ensures that Google abbreviates your IP address within member states of the European Union or in other states party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area before transmission to the USA. There may be exceptional cases in which Google transmits the full IP address to a server in the USA and abbreviates it there. On our behalf, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to create reports on website activity and to provide us with other services related to website activity and Internet usage. There is no merging of the IP address transmitted by Google Analytics with other data from Google.

Browser plugin

You can prevent cookies from being set by your web browser. However, this could restrict some functions of our website. You can also prevent Google from collecting data relating to your use of the website, including your IP address and subsequent processing. This is possible by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available via the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de.

Objection to data collection

You can prevent Google Analytics from collecting your data by clicking on the following link. An opt-out cookie is set to prevent your data from being collected when you visit our website in the future: Deactivate Google Analytics.

Details on how Google Analytics handles user data can be found in Google's privacy policy: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245?hl=de.

Order processing

In order to fully comply with legal data protection requirements, we have concluded an order processing contract with Google.

Demographics in Google Analytics

Our website uses the “demographic characteristics” feature of Google Analytics. It can be used to create reports that contain statements about the age, gender and interests of site visitors. This data comes from interest-based advertising from Google and from visitor data from third parties. It is not possible to assign the data to a specific person. You can turn off this feature at any time. This is possible via the ad settings in your Google account or by generally prohibiting Google Analytics from collecting your data, as explained in the “Objection to data collection” section.

Google AdWords and Google Conversion Tracking

Our website uses Google AdWords. The provider is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, United States.

AdWords is an online advertising program. As part of the online advertising program, we work with conversion tracking. After clicking on an ad placed by Google, a cookie is set for conversion tracking. Cookies are small text files that your web browser stores on your device. Google AdWords cookies lose their validity after 30 days and are not used to personally identify users. The cookie allows Google and we to recognize that you clicked on an ad and were redirected to our website.

Each Google AdWords customer receives a different cookie. The cookies cannot be traced via websites of AdWords customers. Conversion cookies are used to create conversion statistics for AdWords customers who use conversion tracking. Adwords customers find out how many users clicked on their ad and were redirected to pages with a conversion tracking tag. However, AdWords customers do not receive any information that allows users to be personally identified. If you do not want to participate in tracking, you can object to its use. Here, the conversion cookie must be deactivated in the browser's user settings. This also means that there is no inclusion in the conversion tracking statistics.

“Conversion cookies” are stored on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO. As a website operator, we have a legitimate interest in analyzing user behavior in order to optimize our website and advertising.

For details about Google AdWords and Google conversion tracking, please see Google's privacy policy: https://www.google.de/policies/privacy/.

With a modern web browser, you can monitor, restrict or prevent the setting of cookies. Deactivating cookies may result in limited functionality of our website.
