Privacy policy

Thank you for your interest in our website. The protection of your privacy is very important to us. Below we inform you in detail about how we manage your data.

Scope

This privacy policy is intended to inform users of this website in accordance with applicable laws about the type, scope and purpose of the collection and use of personal data by the website operator.

Polish & Protect GmbH & Co. KG
Deichstraße 29 - 22880 Wedel - Germany

The website operator takes your data protection very serious and treats your personal data confidentially and in accordance with legal regulations. Please bear in mind that data transmission over the Internet can always be subject to security vulnerabilities. Complete protection against access by third parties cannot be realised.

Access details
The website operator or site provider collects data about access to the site and stores it as ‘server log files’. The following data is logged:

Website visited
Time at the time of access
Amount of data sent in bytes
Source/reference from which you reached the page
Browser used
Operating system used
IP address used

The data collected is only used for statistical analyses and to improve the website.

The website operator reserves the right to check the server log files retrospectively if there are concrete indications of unlawful use.

 

Cookies
This website uses the ‘Google AdWords Conversion Tracking’ function of Google Inc, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, United States (‘Google’).

Google AdWords Conversion Tracking uses ‘cookies’, which are text files placed on your computer, to help the website analyse how users use the site when they click on a Google ad.

The cookies are valid for a maximum of 90 days. Personal data is not stored. As long as the cookie is valid, Google and we as the website operator can recognise that you have clicked on an ad and have reached a specific target page (e.g. order confirmation page, newsletter registration). These cookies cannot be tracked across multiple websites by different AdWords participants.

The cookie is used to create conversion statistics in ‘Google AdWords’. These statistics record the number of users who have clicked on one of our adverts. It also counts how many users have reached a target page that has been provided with a ‘conversion tag’. However, the statistics do not contain any data that can be used to identify you.

You can prevent cookies from being stored on your hard drive by selecting ‘Do not accept cookies’ in your browser settings (in MS Internet Explorer under ‘Tools > Internet Options > Privacy > Settings’; in Firefox under ‘Tools > Settings > Privacy > Cookies’); we would like to point out,, that in this case you may not be able to use all the functions of this website to their full extent.

By using this website, you consent to the processing of data about you by Google in the manner and for the purposes set out above.

Further information about how Google uses conversion data and Google's privacy policy can be found at

https://support.google.com/adwords/answer/93148?ctx=tltp , http://www.google.de/policies/privacy/ .

Handling of personal data
The website operator only collects, uses and passes on your personal data if this is permitted by law or if you consent to the collection of data. Personal data is all information that can be used to identify you personally and which can be traced back to you - for example, your name, e-mail address and telephone number.

 
Handling of contact data
If you contact the website operator using the contact options provided, your details will be stored so that they can be used to process and respond to your enquiry. This data will not be passed to third parties without your permission.

Google Analytics
This website uses the ‘Google Analytics’ service offered by Google Inc. (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043, USA) to analyse website usage by users. The service uses ‘cookies’ - text files that are stored on your end device. The information collected by the cookies is usually sent to a Google server in the USA and stored there.

IP anonymisation is used on this website. The IP address of users is truncated within the member states of the EU and the European Economic Area. This truncation eliminates the personal reference of your IP address.

As part of the contract data agreement that the website operators have concluded with Google Inc., Google Inc. uses the information collected to analyse website usage and website activity and provides services related to Internet usage.

The following Link will take you to the plugin: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de

Alternatively, you can prevent Google Analytics from collecting data about you within this website by clicking on this link (IMPORTANT! Insert opt-out link).

By clicking on the link above, you download an ‘opt-out cookie’. Your browser must therefore allow the storage of cookies.

If you delete your cookies regularly, you will need to click on the link again each time you visit this website.

GoogleMaps
We use the function for embedding GoogleMaps maps from Google Inc (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; ‘Google’) on our website.

Google also collects, processes and uses data from visitors to the pages when they access the pages in which GoogleMaps maps are integrated. Further information on the collection and use of data by Google can be found in Google's privacy policy at www.google.com/privacypolicy.html. There you also have the option of changing your settings in the data protection centre so that you can manage and protect your data processed by Google. Your data may also be transferred to the USA.

Facebook Pixel:
This website uses Facebook's visitor action pixel to measure conversions. The provider of this service is Facebook Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Dublin 2, Ireland.

According to Facebook, the collected data is also transferred to the USA and other third countries. 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, enabling 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 to us as the operator of this website; 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, which 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.

The use of Facebook Pixel is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in effective advertising measures including social media.

If a corresponding consent has been requested (e.g. consent to the storage of cookies), the processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR; the consent can be revoked at any time.

You can find further information on protecting your privacy in Facebook's privacy policy: https://de-de.facebook.com/about/privacy/.

You can also use the remarketing function ‘Custom Audiences’ in the settings for adverts under https://www.facebook.com/ads/preferences/?entry_product=ad_settings_screen

To do this, you must be logged in to Facebook. 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: http://www.youronlinechoices.com/de/praferenzmanagement/.

Information on data processing in connection with Google Analytics

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited. If the controller responsible for data processing on this website is located outside the European Economic Area or Switzerland, Google Analytics data processing is carried out by Google LLC. Google LLC and Google Ireland Limited are hereinafter referred to as ‘Google’.

Google Analytics uses ‘cookies’, which are text files placed on the visitor's computer, to help the website analyse how users use the site. The information generated by the cookie about the use of this website by the site visitor (including the shortened IP address) is usually transmitted to a Google server and stored there.

Google Analytics is used exclusively with the extension ‘_anonymiseIp()’ on this website. This extension ensures anonymisation of the IP address by shortening it and excludes the possibility of direct personal references. The extension shortens the IP address of Google within member states of the European Union or in other signatory states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and truncated there. The IP address transmitted by the relevant browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.

On behalf of the website operator, Google will use the information collected to analyse the use of the website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide other services related to website activity and internet usage to the website operator (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR). The legitimate interest in data processing lies in the optimisation of this website, the analysis of the use of the website and the adaptation of the content. The interests of users are adequately protected by pseudonymisation.

Google LLC. is certified according to the so-called Privacy Shield (list entry here) and guarantees an appropriate level of data protection on this basis. The data sent and linked to cookies, user identifiers (e.g. user ID) or advertising IDs are automatically deleted after 50 months. Data that has reached the end of its retention period is automatically deleted once a month.

The collection by Google Analytics can be prevented by the site visitor adjusting the cookie settings for this website. The collection and storage of the IP address and the data generated by cookies can also be cancelled at any time with effect for the future. The corresponding browser plugin can be downloaded and installed at the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

The website visitor can prevent the collection of data by Google Analytics on this website by clicking on the following link. An opt-out cookie will be set to prevent the future collection of data when visiting this website.

Further information on the use of data by Google, setting and objection options, can be found in Google's privacy policy (https://policies.google.com/privacy ) and in the settings for the display of adverts by Google (https://adssettings.google.com/authenticated ).

reCAPTCHA

We use the reCAPTCHA service from Google LLC (Google) to protect your enquiries via an internet form. The query serves to differentiate whether the input is made by a human or abusively by automated, machine processing. The query includes sending the IP address and any other data required by Google for the reCAPTCHA service to Google. For this purpose, your input is transmitted to Google and used there. Your IP address will be shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases the full IP address will be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and truncated there. Google will use this information on behalf of the operator of this website to analyse your use of this service. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of reCaptcha will not be merged with other Google data. The deviating data protection provisions of Google apply to this data.
