In the following section, we explain which technologies are used and what type of information is collected.

We also collect and process data that you provide to us on a voluntary basis, for example when you register for events, subscribe to newsletters, take part in on-line surveys, join discussion groups or forums or make purchases.

What Data Do We Collect and Why?

With the help of the data it collects, Paul Leibinger GmbH & Co. KG would like to offer you a consistent level of personalized support. Paul Leibinger GmbH & Co. KG uses your data exclusively as described in this Privacy Policy. Any subsequent change in the purpose of use is subject to your express consent, unless the change is otherwise legitimized by applicable legal provisions.

We process your data for the purposes described below.

In particular, we may process your personal data for the following purposes:

- to manage our relationship with you, e.g. through our databases in which we collate data about you from our various sources to gain an overview of how we work together and to improve and personalize our understanding of your preferences and our communications with you;

- to process orders and to deliver ordered products and services; to perform tasks in preparation or fulfillment of contracts;

- to keep records of business transactions;

- to furnish you with appropriate and up-to-date information and to provide you with our products and services; to improve the quality of our products and services by customizing what we are able to offer to satisfy your specific needs;

- to respond to your inquiries and provide you with efficient support;

- to invite you to events sponsored or utilized by us (e.g. lectures, conferences);

- to provide you with access to our specified IT systems so that you can avail yourselves of defined services provided by Paul Leibinger GmbH & Co. KG;

- to manage our IT resources, including infrastructure management and business continuity;

- to protect the commercial interests of the company and to ensure compliance and reporting (e.g. compliance with our policies and local legislative requirements, taxes and deductions, compliance with internally set grant limits, management of alleged cases of misconduct or fraud, conduct of audits and defense in litigation);

- for archiving and record keeping; for the processing of job inquiries; for invoicing and accounting and for other purposes required by legislation and statutory bodies; in certain cases, we are legally obliged to transmit data to a requesting government body (institution or authority).

- In some cases, business partners need to have personal data about our customers. This usually takes place in the context of order fulfillment (e.g. in the event of complaints).

The respective business partner works in accordance with our instructions, assured by Paul Leibinger GmbH & Co. KG through stringent contractual stipulations.

- To fulfill the legal obligations to record, document and report to the responsible authorities.

IP Addresses

IP addresses are used to analyze malfunctions and for website administration purposes. We also use IP addresses and possibly also other information that you may have made available to us on this website to discover which pages of our website have been accessed and which topics are of interest to our visitors. We use this knowledge to provide you with optimized information about our products and services.

Paul Leibinger GmbH & Co. KG only collects this kind of data in anonymized form and will never link it to a registered user’s profile without their consent. Paul Leibinger GmbH & Co. KG only collects data in connection with your visit to the Paul Leibinger GmbH & Co. KG website. We do not collect any personal data in connection with your visits to the websites of other companies or organizations that do not belong to Paul Leibinger GmbH & Co. KG.

Use of Social Networks

To enable us also to communicate with you on social networks and inform you about our services, we are represented on these networks with our own pages. If you visit one of our social media pages, we are jointly responsible with the provider of the respective social media platform within the definition of Art. 26 GDPR in relation to the processing operations triggered by such visits with regard to personal details.

We are not the original provider of these pages. Instead, we simply use them within the scope of the possibilities provided to us by the respective providers.

As a precautionary measure, we would therefore like to point out that your data may also be processed outside the European Union or the European Economic Area. Use may therefore entail data protection risks for you, as it may be more difficult to safeguard your rights, e.g. to information, deletion, objection, etc., and processing in the social networks is often carried out directly for advertising purposes or for the analysis of user behavior by the providers, without us being able to influence this. Cookies are often used in cases where the provider creates user profiles, and/or usage characteristics are assigned directly to your own member profile on the various social networks (if that is where you are logged in).

The processing operations described in relation to personal data are conducted in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. f of the GDPR based upon our legitimate interest and upon the legitimate interest of the respective provider. This enables us to communicate with you in a timely manner or to inform you about our services. As a user, if you have to grant your consent to data processing to the respective providers, the legislative basis for this is founded on Art. 6 (1) lit. a of the GDPR in conjunction with. Art. 7 of the GDPR.

Since we do not have access to the providers’ databases, we would like to point out that it is best to assert your rights (e.g. to information, correction, deletion, etc.) directly with the respective provider. Further information on the processing of your data in the social networks and the possibility of exercising your right of objection or revocation (so-called opt-out) is listed below with the respective provider of the social networks that we use.

Use of YouTube Videos

This website uses the YouTube embedding function to display and play videos from the provider YouTube, owned by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland (‘Google’).

The extended data protection mode is used here. This, according to the provider, only initiates the storage of user information when one or more videos is played. Whenever the playback of embedded YouTube videos is initiated, the provider YouTube uses cookies to collect information about user behavior.

YouTube advises that these cookies are used, among other things, to record video statistics, to improve the user experience and to prevent abusive behavior. Whenever you click a video while logged into Google, your data get assigned directly to your account. If you do not wish your profile to be associated with YouTube in this manner, you must log out before activating the button. Google stores your data (even for users who are not logged in) as usage profiles and analyzes them. Primarily, evaluations of this kind are carried out in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit.f GDPR on the basis of Google’s legitimate interests in the display of personalized advertising, market research and/or demand-oriented design of its website. You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles. To exercise this right, you must contact YouTube.

All of the aforementioned processing, especially the setting of cookies for accessing information on the end device used, will only take place if you have given us your express consent to do so in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a of the GDPR. You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future by deactivating this service via the ‘cookie consent tool’ provided on the website.

When using YouTube, your personal data may also get transmitted to the servers of Google LLC. in the USA. Regardless of whether the embedded videos are played, a connection to the Google network is established each time this website is accessed. Without our direct involvement, this may trigger further data processing operations.

To transfer data from the EU to the USA, the provider has joined the EU-US Data Privacy Framework. This assures compliance with the European level of data protection, founded upon an adequacy decision taken by the European Commission.

Privacy Policy for the Use of Xing

Our website uses XING network functions. The provider is XING AG, Dammtorstrasse 29-32, 20354 Hamburg, Germany.

In particular, no IP addresses are stored nor is any usage behavior evaluated.

These plugins are marked with an Instagram logo, for example in the form of an ‘Instagram camera’.

Your browser establishes a direct connection to Instagram’s servers whenever you visit a page on our website that contains one of these plugins. Instagram transmits the plugin content directly to your browser and integrates it into the website page. Through this integration, Instagram receives the information that your browser has accessed the corresponding page of our website, even if you do not have an Instagram profile or are not currently logged in to Instagram.

If you interact with the plugins, for example by clicking the ‘Instagram’ button, this information is also transmitted directly to an Instagram server where it is then stored.

This information is also published on your Instagram account where it is displayed for your contacts to view.

You must log out of Instagram before visiting our website if you do not wish Instagram to assign the data collected via our website directly to your Instagram account.

Google AdSense also uses what are known as ‘web beacons’ (invisible graphics). These web beacons enable information to be evaluated such as user traffic on these website pages.

The information generated by cookies and web beacons about the use of this website (including your IP address) and the delivery of advertising formats, are transmitted to a Google server in the USA where it is then stored.

Privacy Policy for the Use of Google AdWords

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 what are called ‘cookies’, small text files that are stored on your computer and that facilitate an analysis of website usage whenever you click on a Google ad. Cookies are valid for a maximum of 90 days. This does not involve the storage of personal data. As long as the cookie is valid, Google and we as the website operator can recognize that you have clicked on an ad and have landed on a specific target page (e.g. order confirmation page, newsletter registration). These cookies cannot be tracked by different AdWords participants across multiple websites. 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 ads. It also counts how many users have landed on a target page that has been provided with a ‘conversion tag’. However, these statistics do not contain any data that can be used to reveal your identity.

You can prevent cookies from being stored on your hard disk 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’); however, we would like to point out that in this case you may not be able to access the full functionality of this website. 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.

Google Analytics

Google Analytics 4 (with cookies, with UserID)

This website uses Google Analytics 4, a service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland (‘Google’) that enables website usage to be analyzed.

As a default, ‘cookies’ are employed as a default whenever a user accesses Google Analytics 4. Cookies are text files that are stored on your terminal device and that enable your use of a website to be analyzed. The information collected by cookies about your use of the website (including the IP address transmitted by your end device, shortened by the last digits, see below) is usually sent to a Google server where it is stored and processed. This may also result in information being transmitted to the servers of Google LLC based in the USA where the information may then undergo further processing.

As an automatic default, when using Google Analytics 4, the IP address is recorded and processed, only ever in anonymized form to ensure that the information collected cannot be linked directly to an individual person. This automatic anonymization involves the removal by Google of the final characters of the IP address transmitted by your terminal device in all member states of the European Union (EU) or in other signatory countries to the Agreement on the European Economic Area (EEA).

Google uses this and other information on our behalf to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on your website activities and usage behavior and to provide us with other services relating to your use of the website and the Internet. The abbreviated IP address transmitted by your device as part of Google Analytics 4 will not be merged with other Google data. The data collected as part of the use of Google Analytics 4 is stored for 2 months and is then deleted.

Google Analytics 4 also uses a special function, known as ‘demographic characteristics’ to enable statistics to be created on the basis of age, interest-based advertising and the use of third-party information. This makes it possible to determine and differentiate between user groups of the website for the purpose of marketing measures optimized for a given target group. However, data collected using these ‘demographic characteristics’ cannot be assigned to a specific person and therefore not to you personally. This data collected via the ‘demographic characteristics’ function is stored for two months and then deleted.

All processing described above, in particular the setting of Google Analytics cookies for the storage and reading of information on the terminal device you use to access the website, will only take place if you have given us your express consent to do so in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a of the GDPR. If you have not granted your consent, Google Analytics 4 will not be used during your visit to the website. If you have granted your consent, you can revoke this at any time with effect for the future. To revoke your consent, please deactivate this service using the ‘cookie consent tool’ provided on the website. In connection with this website, the UserIDs function is also used as an extension of Google Analytics 4. By assigning individual UserIDs, we can have Google create cross-device reports (known as ‘cross-device tracking’). This means that if you have granted your consent to the use of Google Analytics 4 in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a of the GDPR, your usage behavior can also be analyzed across devices if you have set up a personal account, which involves registering on this website and agreeing to this with Google.

We have concluded what we refer to as an order processing contract with Google for our use of Google Analytics 4. This obliges Google to protect the data of our website users and not to pass it on to third parties.

With regard to transfer data to the USA, the provider has signed up to the EU-US Data Privacy Framework. This assures compliance with the European level of data protection founded upon an adequacy decision taken by the European Commission.
