3.1 Information Regarding the Distribution of Newsletters and Press Releases

When you sign up for our newsletter, you must provide us with your email address. We use this exclusively to send you the newsletter. The newsletter contains information about our company and our products.

We use the so-called double opt-in procedure for subscribing to our newsletter. This means that after you subscribe, we will send an email to the email address you provided, asking you to send us a confirmation that you wish to receive the newsletter.

When sending the newsletter, we use personalized links to evaluate whether you opened the newsletter and which links you clicked on, in order to determine our success rate and the frequency with which content is accessed when the newsletter is sent. For this purpose, we compile anonymized statistics that do not allow for the identification of any individual.

We will retain your email address until you log out of our newsletter. It is possible to log out at any time by using the link provided in the newsletter or by sending us a message that corresponds to this request. By logging out, you object to the usage of your email address. Your email address will then no longer be used to send you the newsletter.

The newsletter data we have stored about you will not be used for any other purposes, will not be processed in any other way, and will only be disclosed to third parties for the purpose of sending the newsletter (within the scope of order processing attributable to us).

To be added to our press distribution list, please notify us via email. We also store this data in order to send you information about our company and our products. It is also possible to unsubscribe by sending us a message to that effect, and we will immediately delete your data thereafter.

3.2 Processing of Your Data for Automated Decision-Making or Profiling

We do not use your data for automated decision-making or profiling.
 

4. Legal Basis for the Processing of Your Data

The legal basis for the processing of your data is your consent (pursuant to Section 4(1) in conjunction with Section 4a of the BDSG or Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR) or by the performance of a contract or the implementation of pre-contractual measures (pursuant to Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR).

Should the processing of personal data be necessary to comply with a legal obligation to which ZOLLER is subject, we process this data in accordance with Art. 6(1)(c) of the GDPR.

In cases where ZOLLER’s legitimate interests are safeguarded, processing is carried out in accordance with Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR.

5. Duration of Data Storage

We will store your data for the duration of the validity of your consent or until the purpose for which it was collected has been fulfilled. Thereafter, this data will be deleted unless there are other legal obligations requiring its continued retention. In the case of an ongoing business relationship, your contact data will be stored for the duration of that relationship and will be deleted upon its termination, your revocation of consent, or your requirement to have the data deleted.

6. Data Transmission

The data you enter in the forms is always transmitted in encrypted form.

We may arrange for the transfer of your data to one or more data processors (e.g., providers, web service providers, newsletter distributors), responsible sales offices, sales representatives, or partner companies, who will also use the personal data exclusively for the specified purposes.

Any further disclosure of your personal data to third parties will only take place with your consent, unless there is a legal obligation to do so or to protect the rights, property, and safety of E. ZOLLER GmbH & Co. KG.
To the extent that external service providers touch personal data, we strictly require them to implement legal, technical, and organizational measures to ensure compliance with data protection regulations.

 

7. Processing of Your Data Using Cookies

Among other things, our website uses so-called “cookies,” which serve to make our website more user-friendly, effective, and safe overall. Cookies also enable us to measure, for example, the frequency of page views and general navigation patterns. Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer system. Please note that some of these cookies are transferred from our server to your computer system; some of these are so-called “session cookies.” “Session cookies” are characterized by the fact that they are automatically deleted from your hard drive at the end of the browser session. Other cookies remain on your computer system and allow us to recognize your computer system the next time you visit (so-called persistent cookies). Of course, you can generally refuse cookies at any time, provided your browser allows it.

When you visit our website, you can individually consent to the usage of cookies and also have details displayed about the respective categories of cookies used. With the exception of functionally necessary cookies, cookies are used only after you have given your consent.

Furthermore, we provide a link labeled “Cookie Settings” in the footer of our websites, which you can use at any time to see which cookie categories you have consented to. Here, you can also revoke any consent you have already given and thereby stop the future usage of cookies.

Google Analytics uses cookies that enable an analysis of website usage. The information generated by the cookie regarding your use of this website (including your IP address) is transferred to a Google server in the United States and stored there. Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity for the website operators, and to provide other services related to website and internet usage. Google may also transfer this information to third parties if necessary, or where such third parties process the data on Google’s behalf. Google will under no circumstances establish a connection between your IP address and any other data held by Google.

Only by giving your consent on this website do you agree to the editing of the data collected about you by Google in the type of processing described above and for the purpose stated above. You may object to the collection and storage of data at any time with future effect (via the “Cookie Settings” link in the footer of our websites).

7.2 Use of the Facebook Pixel

Subject to your consent for conversion tracking, our website uses the Facebook Pixel from Facebook, Inc., 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA (“Facebook”).

This allows us to track the behavior of website visitors after they have been redirected to our website by clicking on a Facebook ad. This enables us to evaluate the effectiveness of Facebook ads for statistics and market research purposes and to optimize future advertising campaigns. The data collected is anonymous to us as the operator of this website; we cannot draw any conclusions about the identity of users. However, the data is stored and processed by Facebook, making it possible to establish a connection between it and the respective user profile and allowing Facebook to use the data for its own advertising purposes in accordance with the Facebook Data Use Policy. This enables Facebook to display ads on Facebook pages as well as outside of Facebook. We, as the website operator, have no influence over this usage of the data.

The use of Facebook Pixel is based on your consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) of the GDPR and is carried out only for the period for which we have received valid consent from you.

You can find further information on the protection of your privacy in Facebook’s Privacy Policy: https://de-de.facebook.com/about/privacy/. You can also deactivate the “Custom Audiences” remarketing function in the ad settings area at https://www.facebook.com/ads/preferences/?entry_product=ad_settings_screen. To do so, you must log in to Facebook. If you do not have a Facebook account, you can deactivate usage-based advertising from Facebook on the European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance website: http://www.youronlinechoices.com/de/praferenzmanagement/.

7.3 Use of the LinkedIn Plugin

Our website also uses functions from the LinkedIn network, subject to your consent. The provider is LinkedIn Corporation, 2029 Stierlin Court, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. Each time you call up one of our pages that contains LinkedIn functions, a connection is established with LinkedIn’s servers. LinkedIn is informed that you have visited our website using your IP address. If you click the LinkedIn “Recommend” button while logged in to your LinkedIn account, it is possible for LinkedIn to assign your visit to our website to you and your user account. Please note that, as the provider of these pages, we have no knowledge of the content of the data transmitted or how it is used by LinkedIn. For more information, please see LinkedIn’s Privacy Policy at: https://www.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy.

Use of the LinkedIn plugin is based on your consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) of the GDPR and is limited to the period for which we have received valid consent from you.

8. Links to Other Websites

Our website contains links to other websites. 

Among other things, we also make a reference to the website voreinstellgeraete-gebraucht.de, which we also operate and for which this Privacy Policy is also valid.

Furthermore, we also provide references to the social media channels we use for usage, such as Facebook, LinkedIn, and YouTube. No data processing takes place through these references on our website.

We have no control over whether the operators of other websites comply with data protection regulations.
As the provider of our own content, we are responsible in accordance with general laws. A distinction must be made between our own content and links to content provided by other providers. We assume no responsibility for third-party content provided via links and do not endorse such content.
The provider of the page to which a reference is made is solely liable for illegal, defective, or incomplete content and, in particular, for damages resulting from the use or non-use of such information.

Under the General Data Protection Regulation, you have the right at any time to receive information free of charge regarding your stored personal data, as well as, where applicable, the right to have this data corrected, restricted, or erased.
If we are required to comply with legal retention obligations, we will restrict your data for further processing rather than erase it, so that it can no longer be used for the purposes mentioned above.

You also have the right to receive your personal data stored by us in electronic form.

You have the right, for reasons that result from your particular situation, to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you that is carried out pursuant to Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR (data processing based on a balancing of interests); this also applies to profiling based on this provision within the meaning of Article 4(4) of the GDPR.

If the processing is based on consent pursuant to Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time. Withdrawal of consent does not touch the lawfulness of processing carried out on the basis of consent prior to its withdrawal.

In certain cases, we process your personal data to operate direct marketing. You have the right to object at any time to the processing of your personal data for such marketing purposes; this also applies to profiling where there is a connection between it and direct marketing.
