Data Protection Declaration for the Website Oaklins Angermann AG

1. Web Analytics

Web Tracking by means of Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager

(1) Our website uses Google Analytics, a web tracking service supplied by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (“Google”). The purpose of our using this tool is to enable us to analyse your user interactions on websites and in apps, and to improve the quality of our offer with the help of the statistics and reports acquired and make it more interesting for you as the user.

(2) Predominantly, the interactions between you as the user of the website and our website are collected with the help of cookies, data concerning the terminal/browser, IP addresses and website or app activities. Google Analytics also records your IP addresses to ensure the security of the service and to give us as the website owner information on the country, region or location where each user is based (so-called “IP location”). Obviously, we use an anonymising function (“IP-masking”) for your protection, which means that within the EU/EEA Google shortens the IP addresses by the last octet.

(3) Google acts as data processing company and we have entered into a respective contract with Google. The information created by the cookies and the IP addresses (shortened as a rule) about your use of this website are normally transmitted to a Google server in the USA and processed there. For these cases, Google has pledged to comply with the applicable data protection laws when transferring data internationally. In addition to that, we have agreed to standard contractual terms with Google with the purpose of complying with an adequate data protection level in a third country.

(4) For easy management of the tool, we use the Google Tag Manager.

(5) The legal basis for the collection and further processing of the information (for a maximum of 14 months) is the consent you give (Section 6 (1)(1)(a) GDPR (DS-GVO)). You can revoke your consent at any time; however, this does not affect the legitimacy of the data processing up to time of the revocation. In apps, you can reset the advertising ID under the settings of Android or iOS. The easiest way to accomplish the revocation is by using our consent manager (Manage consent) or you install Google’s browser add-on that you can find at the following link: tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de/.

(6) More detailed information about the scope of Google Analytics can be found at marketingplatform.google.com/about/analytics/terms/de/. Google supplies information on the data processing when using Google Analytics at the following link: support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245?hl=de/. General information on data processing, which Google informs us applies to Google Analytics as well, can be found in the privacy statement at www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/.

 

2. Online Advertising

1. The Use of Google Ads

(1) We make use of what Google Ads offers to attract attention to our offers with advertising. If you go to our website via a Google advert, Google Ads saves a cookie on your terminal. The legal basis for the processing of your data is Section 6 (1)(1)(a) GDPR (DS-GVO) as well as Section 25 (1) New German Telecommunications-Telemedia Data Protection Act (TTDSG), which means that the embedding of your data only happens after you have given your consent.

(2) The advertisements are supplied by Google using the so-called “Ad Server”. To do that, we and other websites use so-called Ad Server cookies, that allow us to evaluate certain parameters of performance assessment such as the displaying of ads or clicks by the user. The Google Ad cookies stored on our website allow us to get information on the success of our advertising campaigns. The cookies do not serve to identify you as a person. As a rule, the unique cookie ID, the number of ad impressions per placement (frequency), the last impression (relevant for post-view conversions) as well as any opt-out information (a marker showing that the user does not want to be addressed any longer) are stored as analysis parameters related to these cookies.

(3) The cookies Google places allow Google to recognise your internet browser. As long as a user goes to certain pages of a website of an ad client and the cookies stored on the user’s computer have not expired, Google and the client can see that the user clicked on this ad and has been transferred to this page. Each ad client is linked to a different cookie meaning that the cookies cannot be traced via websites of other ad clients. By embedding the Google ads, Google gets the information that you have called up the respective part of our website or clicked on one of our ads. If you are registered with a Google service, Google can add this visit to your account. Even if you have not registered with Google or have not logged in, it is possible that the ad provider gets to know your IP address and can store it.

(4) Due to the marketing tools used, your browser automatically connects directly to the Google server. We ourselves do not collect personal data on our own in the so-called advertising activities, but solely provide Google with the option of data collection. We merely receive from Google statistical analyses that inform us which ads have been clicked on how often and at what prices. We receive no further data about the use of our advertisements; in particular we cannot identify the user based on this information.

(5) You can revoke your consent at any time; however, this does not influence the legitimacy of the data processing up to the time of the revocation. The easiest way to revoke your consent is to use our consent manager or one of the following functions: a) via a respective setting  of your browser software; in particular the suppression of third-party cookies leads to you no longer receiving ads from third parties; b) by setting your browser in a way that the domain  “www.googleadservices.com” blocks cookies, www.google.de/settings/ads; however, this preference is deleted when you delete your cookies; c) by deactivating the interest-related ads of the ad providers who are part of the self-regulating campaign “About Ads” via the link www.aboutads.info/choices; however, this preference is deleted when you delete your cookies; d) by permanent deactivation in your browsers Firefox, Internet Explorer or Google Chrome via the link www.google.com/settings/ads/plugin. We would like to point out that in that case you might not be able to use all functions of this offer to their full extent.

(6) Please find further information on data protection at Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow street, Dublin 4, Ireland, here: https://www.google.com/intl/de/policies/privacy  and https://services.google.com/sitestats/de.html.

2. LinkedIn Insight Tag

(1) Furthermore, the website uses the so-called LinkedIn Insight Tag (or LinkedIn Pixel) of LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company (“LinkedIn”). The embedding of this Java-script tag allows you as user of our website to view interest-related ads relevant to you when visiting the social network LinkedIn and other websites using the same technology, and we receive statistics on the website users and their demography. We can also analyse your use of our LinkedIn ads and the interest in our ads by means of a conversion tracking function and show you LinkedIn ads on other websites as well by means of retargeting. Our interest is to increase the effectiveness of LinkedIn adverts and make our website more interesting for you.

(2) Through the embedding of the LinkedIn Insight Tag, your browser automatically sets up a direct connection to the LinkedIn server when you visit the LinkedIn website as well as when you visit websites that have the LinkedIn Insight Tag installed. LinkedIn and we are jointly responsible for collecting your user data when you visit our website and for its transfer to the ad providers. However, LinkedIn bears the sole responsibility for the processing relevant to reaching the aims described after the transfer of the data. We have no influence on the extent and type of use of the data by LinkedIn; therefore we can only give you information according to the extent of our knowledge: through the embedding of the LinkedIn Insight Tag, LinkedIn receives the information that you have called up the relevant website of our internet presence or clicked on one of our adverts. If you are registered with a LinkedIn service, LinkedIn can link the visit to your account.

Even if you have not registered with LinkedIn or have not logged in, there is the possibility that the ad provider can get to know your IP address, the time frame and further means of identification and links these to the actions you carried out.

(3) Deactivating the LinkedIn Insight Tag and further objections to advertising are possible in the settings for adverts at www.linkedin.com/help/linkedin/answer/62931?trk=microsites-frontend_legal_privacy-policy&lang=en and in addition to that at www.linkedin.com/psettings/guest-controls/retargeting-opt-out. Please find further setting options and information at the LinkedIn Privacy Centre: privacy.linkedin.com/de-de?lr=1/.

(4) The legal basis for the processing of your data is Section 6 (1)(1)(a) GDPR (DS-GVO), which means the embedding follows only after your consent. You can revoke your consent at any time, the easiest way is via our cookie manager. LinkedIn processes your personal data in the USA as well and has opted for a self-imposed measure that corresponds to the current valid standard. In addition, we have agreed on so-called standard data protection clauses with LinkedIn, the aim of which is to observe an adequate data protection level in a third country.

(5) Please find further information on the data processing carried out by LinkedIn at your ad provider: LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company, Attn: Legal Dept. (Privacy Policy and User Agreement), Wilton Plaza, Wilton Place, Dublin 2, Ireland; information on the LinkedIn Insight Tag: business.linkedin.com/de-de/marketing-solutions/insight-tag?lr=1/; data protection information: www.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy?trk=homepage-basic_footer-privacy-policy/.

 

3. Embedding Vimeo Videos

(1) On our webpage we use plug-ins provided by Vimeo that are only loaded if you have activated that function beforehand with your consent. With these plug-ins, we offer you the option of interacting on social media and with other users. The legal basis for using the plug-ins is Section 6 (1)(1)(a) GDPR (DS-GVO) which means that the embedding is done only after your consent.

(2) The plug-in provider stores the data collected on you in a user profile and uses this for advertising, market research and/or needs-based design of their website. Such an analysis is used (also for users who have not logged in) to display targeted adverts and to inform other users of the social network about your activities on our website. You have the right to object to the creation of such a user profile, please contact the relevant plug-in provider to make your objection. Data transfer happens independently of whether you have an account with the plug-in provider or have logged in. If you have logged in with the plug-in provider, your data that are collected are directly linked to your account with the plug-in provider. If you click on the activated button and e.g. link the page, the plug-in provider will also save this information to your user account, and will publicly display it to your contacts. We recommend that you regularly log out after having used a social network, in particular before you activate the button; this way you can avoid this information being linked to your profile with the plug-in provider.

(3) The information collected is stored on the servers of the providers, in the case of international providers outside the EU as well. By their own account, the provider has imposed a norm that corresponds to the current valid standard, and has agreed to observe the applicable data protection laws for the international transfer of data. In addition to that, we have agreed on so-called standard data protection clauses with the providers in order to adhere to an appropriate data protection level in a third country.

(4) You can revoke your consent at any time; however, this does not affect the legitimacy of the data processing carried out up to the time of the revocation. The easiest ways to make your revocation is via the consent manager or via the functions of the social media providers.

(5) Please find further information on purpose and extent of the data collection and processing by the plug-in provider in the following data protection declarations that the providers have communicated to us. There you can also find further information on your rights in this matter and setting options to protect your privacy, addresses of the respective plug-in providers and the URL of their data protection information.
