E-mail: alexander.schmidt@messerschmiede.bayern.

1.3 To protect the security of your data during transmission, we use state-of-the-art encryption methods (e.g. SSL or TSL) via HTTPS.

2. data collection when visiting our website

Each time you visit our website, our system automatically collects data and information that your browser transmits to our server (so-called “server log files”). The following data, which is technically necessary for us, is collected in the process:
Our visited website
Date and time at the time of access
Amount of data sent in bytes
Source/reference from which you came to the page
Operating system used
Browser used
IP address used (if applicable: in anonymized form)
The legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 (1) lit. f DSGVO due to our legitimate interest in improving the stability and maintaining the functionality of our website. A transfer or other use of the data does not take place. The temporary storage of the IP address by the system is necessary to enable delivery of the website to the user’s computer. For this purpose, the user’s IP address must remain stored for the duration of the session.
We reserve the right to check the server log files retrospectively should concrete indications point to illegal use. The data will be deleted as soon as they are no longer required to achieve the purpose for which they were collected. In the case of the collection of data for the provision of the website, this is the case when the respective session has ended.
In the case of storage of data in log files, this is the case after seven days at the latest. Storage beyond this period is possible. In this case, the IP addresses of the users are deleted or alienated, so that an assignment of the calling client is no longer possible. The collection of data for the provision of the website and the storage of the data in log files is absolutely necessary for the operation of the website. Consequently, there is no possibility for the user to object. .

We use the Ecwid store system. This is operated by Ecwid, Inc.(Ecwid. Inc., 144 West D Street, Suite 103, Encinitas, California 92024, USA) with headquarters in the USA.

On our website there is the possibility to subscribe to a free newsletter. When registering for the newsletter, the data from the input mask will be transmitted to us. Mandatory information is only your email address. If you make further voluntary entries, these will only be used for the personal address.

The legal basis for the processing of your data after registration for the newsletter is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO if the user has given his consent.

The legal basis for sending the newsletter as a result of the sale of goods or services is Section 7 (3) UWG and Art. 6 (1) lit. f DSGVO. In this respect, the data processing is carried out solely on the basis of our legitimate interest in personalized direct advertising.

If you have already objected to the use of your email address for direct marketing purposes, you will not receive this newsletter. However, you also have the option later and at any time to object to the use of your email address for the advertising purpose stated here with effect for the future by notifying us.

9. use of social media: video

Use of Youtube videos

On this website, we use the Youtube embedding function to display and play videos from the provider “Youtube”, which belongs to Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland (“Google”). Here we use the extended data protection mode, which, according to the provider, only triggers the storage of user information when the video(s) is/are played. When you start the playback of embedded Youtube videos, the provider “Youtube” uses cookies to collect information about your user behavior. According to “Youtube”, these are used, among other things, to collect video statistics, improve the user experience and prevent abusive behavior. If you are logged in to Google, your data will be directly assigned to your account.

If you do not want the assignment with your profile at YouTube, you must log out before activating the button. Google stores your data (even for users who are not logged in) as usage profiles and evaluates them.

Such evaluation is carried out in particular in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit.a DSGVO on the basis of your express consent.

You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles, whereby you must contact YouTube to exercise this right. Independently of a playback of the embedded videos, a connection to the Google network “DoubleClick” is established each time this website is called up, which may trigger further data processing operations without our influence.

There may also be a transmission of data to the servers of Google LLC. in the USA. For more information on data protection at “YouTube”, please refer to the provider’s privacy policy at: https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacyOpt-out possible:
https://adssettings.google.com/authenticated.

10. online marketing

Use of Google Ads conversion tracking

This website uses the online advertising program “Google Ads” and within the framework of Google Ads the conversion tracking of Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland (“Google”).

This involves the use of advertising media (so-called Google Adwords) to advertise our offers on external websites. Our legitimate interest lies in the display of advertising that is of interest to you and in achieving a fair calculation of advertising costs. The legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 lit.a DSGVO, namely your express consent.

Google Ads uses cookies for conversion tracking, which are set when you click on an AdWords ad placed by Google.

These cookies usually lose their validity after 30 days and are not used for personal identification. Each Google Ads customer receives a different cookie, so cookies cannot be tracked across Ads customers’ websites.

The information thus obtained is used to create conversion statistics for Ads customers about the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a page tagged with a conversion tracking tag.

This does not allow you to be personally identified.

If you would like to prevent tracking, you can deactivate the Google conversion tracking cookie via your internet browser under user settings.

Here you can find information about Google’s privacy policy: http://www.google.de/policies/privacy/.

You can permanently disable the conversion cookies by adjusting your browser settings accordingly or download and install the browser plug-in available at the following link:
http://www.google.com/settings/ads/plugin?hl=de

In that case, certain functions of this website may not be available or may only be available to a limited extent.

11. web analytics services

Google Universal Analytics

We use the web analytics service Google Analytics (Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland) for this website.
Google Analytics uses “cookies”. These are text files that are stored on your computer and enable an analysis of your use of the website.
The information thus generated about your use of this website (including the shortened IP address) is transmitted to a Google server and stored there, whereby a transmission to the USA is possible.

We use Google Analytics with the extension “_anonymizeIp()”, which ensures anonymization of the IP address by shortening it and excludes a direct reference to persons. Your IP address is therefore shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. In exceptional cases, the full IP address is transferred to a Google server, also in the USA, and only shortened there. In these exceptional cases, this processing is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO. Our legitimate interest lies in the statistical analysis of user behavior for optimization and marketing purposes.

On our behalf, Google will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of the website, compiling reports on website activity and providing us with other services relating to website activity and internet usage. Your IP address collected in this context will not be merged with other Google data.

You can prevent the storage of cookies by setting your browser accordingly.
You can also prevent the collection of data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) and the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing the following browser plugin:
http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de

Alternatively, you can set an out-out cookie:

Disable Google Analytics

This opt-out cookie only works in this browser and only for this domain. If you delete your cookies in this browser, you must click this link again.

This website also uses Google Analytics for cross-device analysis of visitor flows, which is performed via a user ID. You can disable cross-device analysis of your usage in your customer account under “My Data”, “Personal Data”.

Google Privacy Policy:

12. retargeting / remarketing / recommendation advertising

Facebook Custom Audience via the pixel process

On this website, we use the “Facebook pixel” of Facebook Inc, 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA (“Facebook”).If express consent is given, this can be used to track the behavior of users after they have seen or clicked on a Facebook advertisement. This procedure is used to evaluate the effectiveness of Facebook ads for statistical and market research purposes and can help to optimize future advertising measures. The data collected is anonymous for us, so we cannot draw any conclusions about the identity of the users. However, 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 (https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/).

You may allow Facebook and its partners to serve ads on and off Facebook. For these purposes, a cookie may be stored on your terminal device. These processing operations are carried out exclusively upon the granting of explicit consent pursuant to Art. 6 (1) lit. a DSGVO. Consent to the use of the Facebook Pixel may only be declared by users older than 13 years of age. If you are younger, we ask you to ask your legal guardians for permission. You can disable the use of cookies on your computer by setting your browser accordingly. However, this may mean that some functions on our websites can no longer be fully used. You can also disable the use of cookies by third-party providers such as Facebook on the following website of the Digital Advertising Alliance: http://www.aboutads.info/choices/.

13. tools and miscellaneous

13.1 Google reCAPTCHA

We use the reCAPTCHA function of Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland (“Google”) pursuant to Art. 6 (1) lit. f DSGVO due to our legitimate interest in preventing abuse and spam.
reCAPTCHA is a function designed to ensure that an input is made by a natural person.
The service sends your IP address and possibly other data required by Google for the reCAPTCHA service to Google.

The use of Google reCAPTCHA may also result in the transmission of your personal data to the servers of Google LLC. in the USA.

Details about Google reCAPTCHA and Google’s privacy policy can be found at:
https://www.google.com/intl/de/policies/privacy/

13.2 Google Maps
We use “Google Maps” (API) from Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland (“Google”).

Google Maps is used to display interactive maps and to create directions. By using Google Maps, information about the use of this website, including your IP address and the (start) address entered as part of the route planner function, may be transmitted to Google. When you call up a web page of our website that contains Google Maps, your browser establishes a direct connection with Google’s servers. The map content is transmitted by Google directly to your browser, which then integrates it into the website. Therefore, we have no influence on the scope of the data collected by Google in this way. According to our knowledge, this is at least the following data:
– Date and time of the visit to the website in question,
– Internet address or URL of the website called up,
– IP address, (start) address entered as part of route planning.

We have no influence on the further processing and use of the data by Google and can therefore not assume any responsibility for this. If you are logged in to Google, your data will be directly assigned to your Google account. If you do not want this assignment, you must log out of Google. Google stores your data (including that of users who are not logged in) as usage profiles and evaluates them. Such an evaluation is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO on the basis of your express consent.

If you do not want Google to collect, process or use data about you via our website, you can also deactivate JavaScript in your browser settings. In this case, however, you will not be able to use the map display. The purpose and scope of the data collection and the further processing and use of the data by Google, as well as your rights in this regard and settings options for protecting your privacy, can be found in the privacy policy of Google (https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de).

13.3 Google Web Fonts

We use so-called web fonts provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland (“Google”) for the uniform display of fonts.
As soon as you visit our website, your browser loads the required web fonts into the browser cache.

For this purpose, your browser must establish a connection to Google’s servers, whereby Google will transfer your IP address. In that case, a transfer of your personal data to the servers of Google LLC. in the USA may also occur. Our legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) lit. f DSGVO lies in the uniform and appealing presentation of our online offers.

If your browser does not support web fonts, a standard font will be used by your computer.
