Data protection Declaration of ElectronAixGmbH & Co. KG

The trusting and secure handling of personal data is very important to us. We observe the provisions of the EU General Data Protection Regulation ("GDPR"), the Federal Data Protection Act of North Rhine-Westphalia ("BDSG") and other relevant federal, state and European regulations. With this data protection declaration we offer you detailed and transparent information about the processing of your personal data.

In principle, we enable you to use our website without providing any personal data. However, if a person uses specific services of our company, such as via our website, it may become necessary to process personal data, i.e. data that is directly related to a natural person (e.g. name, address, e-mail address or telephone number). . In this case, the personal data is processed either on the basis of legal requirements or the prior consent of the person concerned.

We use the terms used below, such as "person responsible" or "processor", as in the definitions from Art. 4 DS-GVO:

A processor is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body that processes personal data on behalf of the person responsible.

A data subject is any identified/identifiable natural person whose personal data is processed by the controller.

Third party is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or body other than the data subject, controller, processor and persons who, under the direct responsibility of the controller or processor, are authorized to process the personal data.

A restriction of processing is the marking of stored personal data with the aim of restricting their future processing.

Consent is any expression of will voluntarily given by the data subject in an informed manner and unequivocally for the specific case in the form of a declaration or other clear confirmatory action with which the data subject indicates that they are processing their personal data agrees.

A recipient is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body to which personal data is disclosed, regardless of whether it is a third party or not. However, authorities that may receive personal data in the context of a specific investigation mandate under Union or Member State law are not considered recipients.

Personal data is any information that relates to an identified or identifiable natural person (hereinafter "data subject"). A natural person is considered to be identifiable if he or she is directly or indirectly, in particular by means of assignment to an identifier such as a name, to a Identification number, location data, an online identifier or one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person.

Profiling uses personal data in an automated process to evaluate, for example to analyze or predict work performance, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behavior, whereabouts or change of location of this natural person.

Pseudonymisation is the processing of personal data in such a way that the personal data can no longer be assigned to a specific data subject without the use of additional information, provided that this additional information is kept separately and is subject to technical and organizational measures to ensure that the personal data is not assigned to an identified or identifiable natural person.

A person responsible for the processing of personal data is the natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body that alone or jointly with others decides on the purposes and means of the processing of personal data. If the purposes and means of this processing are specified by the EU or the law of the Member States, the person responsible or the specific criteria for his naming can be provided for under Union law or the law of the Member States.

Processing is any process carried out with or without the help of automated procedures or any such series of processes in connection with personal data such as collection, recording, organization, ordering, storage, adaptation or modification, reading out, querying, use , disclosure by transmission, distribution or any other form of making available, matching or linking, restriction, deletion or destruction.

10.

How do we use third party services?

On the basis of our legitimate interests in the analysis, optimization and economic operation of our website within the meaning of Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR, we sometimes use third-party content/services, in particular Google Analytics, Google Analytics and YouTube videos. By integrating such content on our website, the third-party providers can collect, process and use data about the use of our visitors. The integration of content/services from third parties always requires the use of the IP address of the respective user, so that the use of the IP address is necessary for the presentation of this content on our website. We would like to point out that we have no influence on how third-party providers store or process the IP address, for example for statistical purposes.

Your data protection when using Google Analytics (anonymization)

We have integrated the Google Analytics component (with anonymization function) for our website. Google Analytics is a web analysis service, i.e. the collection, collection and evaluation of data on the behavior of visitors to websites. A web analysis service collects, among other things, data about the website from which a person concerned came to a website (so-called referrer), which subpages of the website were accessed or how often and for how long a subpage was viewed. A web analysis is mainly used to optimize a website and for the cost-benefit analysis of internet advertising.

The operating company of the Google Analytics component is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheater Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA.

We use the "_gat._anonymizeIp" suffix for the web analysis via Google Analytics. This suffix is ??used by Google to shorten and anonymize the IP address of the Internet connection of the data subject if our website is accessed from a member state of the European Union or from another state party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area.

The purpose of the Google Analytics component is to analyze visitor flows on our website. Google uses the data and information obtained, among other things, to evaluate the use of our website, to compile online reports for us that show the activities on our website, and to provide other services related to the use of our website.

Google Analytics places a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. What cookies are has already been explained above. By setting the cookie, Google is able to analyze the use of our website. Each time one of the individual pages of this website is accessed, which is operated by us and on which a Google Analytics component has been integrated, the Internet browser on the information technology system of the person concerned is automatically prompted by the respective Google Analytics component to process data for the purpose to transmit the online analysis to Google. As part of this technical process, Google gains knowledge of personal data, such as the IP address of the person concerned, which Google uses, among other things, to trace the origin of visitors and clicks and subsequently to enable commission statements.

The cookie is used to store personal information, such as access time, the location from which access was made and the frequency of visits to our website by the person concerned. Each time you visit our website, this personal data, including the IP address of the Internet connection used by the person concerned, is transmitted to Google in the United States of America. This personal data is stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may pass on this personal data collected via the technical process to third parties.

The person concerned can prevent the setting of cookies by our website, as already described above, at any time by means of a corresponding setting in the Internet browser used and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Such a setting of the Internet browser used would also prevent Google from setting a cookie on the information technology system of the person concerned. In addition, a cookie already set by Google Analytics can be deleted at any time via the Internet browser or other software programs.

Furthermore, the data subject has the option of objecting to and preventing the collection of data generated by Google Analytics relating to the use of this website and the processing of this data by Google. To do this, the data subject must download and install a browser add-on from the link https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. This browser add-on tells Google Analytics via JavaScript that no data and information about visits to websites may be transmitted to Google Analytics. The installation of the browser add-on is evaluated by Google as a contradiction. If the information technology system of the person concerned is later deleted, formatted or reinstalled, the person concerned must reinstall the browser add-on in order to deactivate Google Analytics. If the browser add-on is uninstalled or deactivated by the person concerned or another person who is attributable to their sphere of influence, there is the possibility of reinstalling or reactivating the browser add-on.

Further information and Google's applicable data protection regulations can be found at https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/ and at http://www.google.com/analytics/terms/de.html. Google Analytics is explained in more detail under this link https://www.google.com/intl/de_de/analytics/.

Your privacy when using Google

We have integrated Google AdWords into our website. Google AdWords is an internet advertising service that allows advertisers to place ads in both Google's search engine results and the Google advertising network. Google AdWords allows an advertiser to pre-define certain keywords that will be used to display an ad in Google's search engine results only when the user uses the search engine to retrieve a keyword-related search result. In the Google advertising network, the ads

distributed to topic-relevant websites using an automatic algorithm and taking into account the previously defined keywords.

The operator of the Google AdWords services is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheater Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA.

The purpose of Google AdWords is to promote our website by displaying interest-related advertising on the websites of third-party companies and in the search engine results of the Google search engine and displaying third-party advertising on our website.

If a data subject accesses our website via a Google ad, a so-called conversion cookie is stored on the information technology system of the data subject by Google. What cookies are has already been explained above. A conversion cookie loses its validity after thirty days and is not used to identify the person concerned. If the cookie has not yet expired, the conversion cookie is used to determine whether certain sub-pages, such as the shopping cart from an online shop system, were accessed on our website. The conversion cookie enables both us and Google to understand whether a person who came to our website via an AdWords ad generated revenue, i.e. completed or canceled a purchase.

The data and information collected through the use of the conversion cookie are used by Google to create visit statistics for our website. In turn, we use these visit statistics to determine the total number of users who were referred to us via AdWords ads, i.e. to determine the success or failure of the respective AdWords ad and to optimize our AdWords ads for the future . Neither our company nor other Google AdWords advertisers receive information from Google that could be used to identify the person concerned.

The conversion cookie is used to store personal information, such as the website visited by the person concerned. Accordingly, each time you visit our website, personal data, including the IP address of the Internet connection used by the person concerned, is transmitted to Google in the United States of America. This personal data is stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may pass on this personal data collected via the technical process to third parties.

The person concerned can prevent the setting of cookies by our website, as already described above, at any time by means of a corresponding setting in the Internet browser used and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Such a setting of the Internet browser used would also prevent Google from setting a conversion cookie on the information technology system of the person concerned. In addition, a cookie already set by Google AdWords can be deleted at any time via the Internet browser or other software programs.

Furthermore, the data subject has the option of objecting to interest-based advertising by Google. To do this, the person concerned must call up the link www.google.de/settings/ads from each of the Internet browsers they use and make the desired settings there.

Further information and Google's applicable data protection regulations can be found at https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/.

Your privacy when using YouTube

We have integrated components from YouTube into our website. YouTube is an Internet video portal that allows video publishers to post video clips free of charge and other users to view, rate and comment on them free of charge. YouTube allows the publication of all types of videos, which is why both complete film and television programs as well as music videos, trailers or videos made by users themselves can be accessed via the Internet portal.

Each time one of the individual pages of this website is accessed, which is operated by us and on which a YouTube component (YouTube video) has been integrated, the Internet browser on the information technology system of the person concerned is automatically prompted by the respective YouTube component to display download the relevant YouTube component from YouTube. Further information about YouTube can be found at https://www.youtube.com/yt/about/de/. As part of this technical process, YouTube and Google are informed which specific subpage of our website is visited by the person concerned.

If the person concerned is logged in to YouTube at the same time, YouTube recognizes which specific subpage of our website the person concerned is visiting by calling up a subpage that contains a YouTube video. This information is collected by YouTube and Google and assigned to the respective YouTube account of the data subject.

YouTube and Google always receive information via the YouTube component that the person concerned has visited our website if the person concerned is logged in to YouTube at the same time as accessing our website; this takes place regardless of whether the data subject clicks on a YouTube video or not. If the data subject does not want this information to be transmitted to YouTube and Google, they can prevent the transmission by logging out of their YouTube account before accessing our website.
