1. Data Protection at a Glance

General Information

The following information provides a simple overview of what happens to your personal data when you visit our websites. Personal data is any data that can be used to identify you personally. For detailed information on the subject of data protection, please refer to our data protection declaration listed below this text.

Data Collection on our Website

Who is responsible for data collection on our websites?

Data processing on our websites is carried out by the website operator. You can find the operator’s contact details in the legal notice of this website.

How do we collect your data?

On the one hand, your data is collected when you provide it to us. This may, for example, be data that you enter in a contact form.

Other data is collected automatically by our IT systems when you visit our websites. This is primarily technical data (e.g. internet browser, operating system or time of page view). This data is collected automatically as soon as you enter our websites.

What do we use your data for?

Some of the data is collected to ensure that the website is provided without errors. Other data may be used to analyse your user behaviour. We require contact and order data in order to process your contact enquiries and orders.

Processing is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest in improving the stability and functionality of our website. The data will not be passed on or used in any other way. However, we reserve the right to check the server log files retrospectively if there are concrete indications of unlawful use.

What rights do you have regarding your data?

You have the right to receive information about the origin, recipient and purpose of your stored personal data free of charge at any time. You also have the right to request the correction, blocking or deletion of this data. You can contact us at any time at the address given in the legal notice if you have any further questions on the subject of data protection. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority.

Contacting Us

Personal data is collected when you contact us (e.g. via contact form or email). Which data is collected in the case of a contact form can be seen from the respective contact form. This data is stored and used exclusively for the purpose of responding to your enquiry or for contacting you and the associated technical administration. The legal basis for processing the data is our legitimate interest in responding to your request in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. If your contact is aimed at the conclusion of a contract, the additional legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR. Your data will be deleted after final processing of your enquiry; this is the case if it can be inferred from the circumstances that the matter in question has been conclusively clarified and provided that there are no statutory retention obligations to the contrary.

Analysis Tools and Tools from Third Party Providers

When you visit our websites, your surfing behaviour may be statistically evaluated. This is primarily done using cookies and so-called analysis programmes. The analysis of your surfing behaviour is usually anonymous; the surfing behaviour cannot be traced back to you. You can object to this analysis or prevent it by not using certain tools. You can find detailed information on this in the following privacy policy.

You can object to this analysis. We will inform you about the objection options in this privacy policy.

You have the right to have data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfilment of a contract handed over to you or to a third party in a commonly used, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only take place if it is technically feasible.

SSL or TLS Encryption

Our website uses SSL or TLS encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or enquiries that you send to us as the website operator. You can recognise an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock symbol in your browser line.

If SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

3. Data Collection on our Website

Cookies

The website partly uses so-called cookies. Cookies do not damage your computer and do not contain viruses. Cookies are used to make our website more user-friendly, effective and secure. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer and saved by your browser.

Most of the cookies we use are so-called “session cookies”. They are automatically deleted at the end of your visit. Other cookies remain stored on your end device until you delete them. These cookies enable us to recognise your browser on your next visit.

You can set your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies and only allow cookies in individual cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general and activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. If cookies are deactivated, the functionality of this website may be restricted.

Chrome: Deactivate here
Safari: Deactivate here
Opera: Deactivate here

Please note that if you do not accept cookies, the functionality of our website may be limited.

Cookies that are required to carry out the electronic communication process or to provide certain functions that you have requested (e.g. shopping basket function) are stored on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.
The website operator has a legitimate interest in the storage of cookies for the technically error-free and optimised provision of its services. Insofar as other cookies (e.g. cookies for analysing your surfing behaviour) are stored, these are treated separately in this privacy policy.

Server Log Files

The provider of the pages automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us.
These are:

Browser type and browser version
Operating system used
Referrer URL
Host name of the accessing computer
Time of the server enquiry
IP address

This data is not merged with other data sources. The basis for data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR, whic

Contact Form and Appointment Calendar

If you send us enquiries using the contact form or diary function, your details from the enquiry form, including the contact details you provide there, will be stored by us and/or Hubspot (see below) for the purpose of processing the enquiry and in the event of follow-up questions. We will not pass this data on to third parties without your consent.

The data entered in the contact form is therefore processed exclusively on the basis of your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR). You can revoke this consent at any time. All you need to do is send us an informal email. The legality of the data processing operations carried out until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

The data you enter in the contact form will remain with us and/or Hubspot until you ask us to delete it, revoke your consent to storage or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g. after your enquiry has been processed). Mandatory statutory provisions – in particular retention periods – remain unaffected.

Processing of Data (Customer and Contract Data)

We collect, process and use personal data only insofar as it is necessary for the establishment, content or amendment of the legal relationship (inventory data). This is done on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR, which permits the processing of data for the fulfilment of a contract or pre-contractual measures. We collect, process and use personal data about the use of our website (usage data) only insofar as this is necessary to enable the user to use the service or to bill the user. The customer data collected will be deleted after completion of the order or termination of the business relationship. Statutory retention periods remain unaffected.

Data Transfer upon Conclusion of a Contract for Services and digital Content

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

Any further transmission of data will not take place or will only take place if you have expressly consented to the transmission. 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 para. 1 lit. b GDPR, which permits the processing of data for the fulfilment of a contract or pre-contractual measures.

4. Analysis Tools and Advertising

Google Analytics

Our websites use functions of the web analysis service Google Analytics. The provider is Google Inc, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.

Google Analytics uses so-called “cookies”. These are text files that are stored on your computer and enable your use of the website to be analysed. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there.

The storage of Google Analytics cookies is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in analysing user behaviour in order to optimise both its website and its advertising.

IP Anonymisation

We have activated the IP anonymisation function on our websites. This means that your IP address will be truncated by Google within member states of the European Union or in other signatory states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area before being transmitted to the USA. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and truncated there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to analyse your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide the website operator with other services relating to website activity and internet usage. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.

Browser Plugin

You may refuse the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser, however please note that if you do this you may not be able to use the full functionality of this website. You can also prevent Google from collecting the data generated by the cookie and relating to your use of the website (including your IP address) and from processing this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available at the following link: https://tools.google.com/.

Deactivate Google Analytics on agindi.media for me

You can find more information on how Google Analytics handles user data in Google’s privacy policy: https://support.google.com/.

Order Data Processing

We have concluded a contract with Google for commissioned data processing and fully implement the strict requirements of the German data protection authorities when using Google Analytics.

Google Tag Manager

This website uses Google Tag Manager. This service allows website tags to be managed via an interface. The Google Tool Manager only implements tags. This means that no cookies are used and no personal data is collected. The Google Tool Manager triggers other tags, which in turn may collect data. However, the Google Tag Manager does not access this data. If deactivation has been carried out at domain or cookie level, it will remain in place for all tracking tags if they are implemented with Google Tag Manager.

Google reCAPTCHA

We use “Google reCAPTCHA” (hereinafter referred to as “reCAPTCHA”) on our websites. The provider is Google Inc, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (“Google”).

The purpose of reCAPTCHA is to check whether the data input on our websites (e.g. in a contact form) is made by a human or by an automated programme. For this purpose, reCAPTCHA analyses the behaviour of the website visitor based on various characteristics. This analysis begins automatically as soon as the website visitor enters the website. For the analysis, reCAPTCHA evaluates various information (e.g. IP address, time spent on the website by the website visitor or mouse movements made by the user). The data collected during the analysis is forwarded to Google.

The reCAPTCHA analyses run completely in the background. Website visitors are not informed that an analysis is taking place.

Data processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in protecting its website from abusive automated spying and SPAM.

Further information on Google reCAPTCHA and Google’s privacy policy can be found at the following links:

https://www.google.com/ and https://www.google.com/.

Facebook Pixel

Our websites use the visitor action pixel from Facebook, Facebook Inc, 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA (“Facebook”) to measure conversions.

This allows the behaviour of site visitors to be tracked after they have been redirected to the provider’s website by clicking on a Facebook ad. This allows the effectiveness of Facebook ads to be evaluated for statistical and market research purposes and future advertising measures to be optimised.

The data collected is anonymous for us as the operator of our websites; we cannot draw any conclusions about the identity of the users. However, the data is stored and processed by Facebook so that a connection to the respective user profile is possible and Facebook can use the data for its own advertising purposes in accordance with the Facebook Data Usage Policy. This enables Facebook to place adverts on Facebook pages and outside of Facebook. This use of the data cannot be influenced by us as the site operator.

You can find further information on protecting your privacy in Facebook’s privacy policy: https://www.facebook.com/.

You can also deactivate the remarketing function “Custom Audiences” in the settings for adverts at https://www.facebook.com/. You must be logged in to Facebook to do this.

If you do not have a Facebook account, you can deactivate usage-based advertising from Facebook on the website of the European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance: https://www.youronlinechoices.com

Hotjar

We use Hotjar to better understand the needs of our users and to optimise the offer and experience on this website. Hotjar’s technology gives us a better understanding of our users’ experiences (e.g. how much time users spend on which pages, which links they click on, what they like and dislike, etc.) and helps us to tailor our offering to our users’ feedback. Hotjar works with cookies and other technologies to collect data about the behaviour of our users and their end devices, in particular IP address of the device (is only recorded and stored in anonymised form during your website use), screen size, device type (unique device identifiers), information about the browser used, location (country only), preferred language for displaying our website. Hotjar stores this information on our behalf in a pseudonymised user profile. Hotjar is contractually prohibited from selling the data collected on our behalf.

For more information, see the ‘about Hotjar’ section on Hotjar’s Help Page.

Our websites use the LinkedIn Insight tag from LinkedIn Ireland, Wilton Plaza, Wilton Place, Dublin 2, Ireland (“LinkedIn”) for conversion measurement and retargeting measures.

The LinkedIn Insight Tag supports LinkedIn Conversion Tracking, which is a retargeting and analysis tool. The Insight Tag causes a cookie to be generated and stored in the visitor’s web browser when they visit our website. This tag is integrated on our website and enables the collection of data such as IP address, the time this website was accessed or the recording of defined events (such as downloads or page views). In addition, users can be shown interest-specific and relevant offers and recommendations in relation to services offered by us. LinkedIn also compiles statistics with aggregated data about the use of and visits to our website. If a user is a LinkedIn member, demographic data such as location can also be collected. The cookie generated and stored by the tag in the browser remains there until it is manually deleted by the user or automatically deleted after the Insight Tag has been loaded for the last time.

Visitors can change the storage of cookies via the web browser settings. Alternatively, users can specifically object to LinkedIn Conversion Tracking by setting an opt-out cookie that remains on the device until the user deletes the cookies. Users can deactivate the LinkedIn Insight tag via the following link.
LinkedIn members click on the “Opt-out on LinkedIn” field. Non-LinkedIn members click on “Opt-out”.

Lead Gen Forms

We use so-called “Lead Gen Forms” (lead generation forms) to inform you, for example, about products, services or events that may be of interest to you. In this context, selected information that you have already provided to LinkedIn is transmitted to agindi GmbH for further processing for marketing and sales purposes. We use the data transmitted in this context to subsequently send you further information, products or invitations to events. In addition, the data received may be passed on to cooperation partners (e.g. co-organisers of events or companies involved in studies).

In particular, the following types of data may be processed by us in this context:

Contact details: First and last name, email address, LinkedIn profile URL, phone number, city, state/province, country/region, postcode, business email address, business phone number
Qualification data: Education, degrees, subjects studied, college/vocational school, start/completion date
Employer details: company name, company size, sector
Job details: job title, areas of activity, career level

The legal basis for this is your consent pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. You can revoke your consent at any time via the contact options mentioned above, so that the data received via LinkedIn will no longer be processed in the future. Processing activities carried out up to that point remain unaffected by this.

6. Duration of the Storage of Personal Data

The duration of the storage of personal data is determined by the respective statutory retention period (e.g. retention periods under commercial and tax law). After expiry of the period, the corresponding data is routinely deleted, provided that it is no longer required for contract fulfilment or contract initiation and/or we have no legitimate interest in further storage.
