Protecting your personal data during your visit to our website is one of our primary concerns. Therefore, we comply with the statutory regulations on data protection, particularly the Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG, from 25.05.2018 BDSG-Neu, according to DSGVO) and the Telemedia Act (TMG). All data you provide us with will be treated with the utmost confidentially. We do not make your data available to others unless we have your express consent or we’re obliged to divulge this data due to government or court order. The collection, storage, processing, and use of your personal data are done exclusively in accordance with the following privacy policy.
We do not collect, save, process or use any of your personal data when you simply open the website www.hsb-automation.de. However, some details of your visit are automatically received and temporarily saved in a log file on our server for data security purposes that could possibly allow for identification (e.g. IP address, date, time, and files retrieved).
We do not evaluate this usage data to create personal user profiles unless you have expressly agreed to such use. However, we reserve the right to such an evaluation in the case of improper interference with our website or other legal violations that could result in prosecution by law enforcement authorities. A further evaluation of your usage data or the forwarding of such to third parties does not occur.
We collect personal data when you willingly provide it to us, e.g. by registering, filling out forms, sending emails, ordering products or services, submitting inquiries or requesting material. The Federal Data Protection Act always allows for the processing and use of data when this is done within the context of the purpose of a contractual or contract-similar relationship or when necessary to protect the legitimate interests of the entity storing the data should there be no reason to believe that this interest is outweighed by the legitimate interest of the person concerned in the exclusion of the processing and/or use of this data. Therefore, the processing and use of data can still occur without your consent and despite a partial or total withdrawal of consent to the limited extent permitted by law.
This website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service of Google Inc. ("Google"). Google Analytics uses so-called "cookies", or text files that are stored on your computer and enable the analysis of your use of the website. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is usually transmitted to and stored on a Google server in the United States. Should you activate IP anonymization on this website, Google will shorten your IP address shortly before transmission within Member States of the European Union or other countries party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be sent to a Google server in the United States and be shortened there. Google will use this information on behalf of the operator of this website to evaluate your use of the website in order to compile reports on website activity and provide the website operator with other services relating to website activity and Internet usage. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with any other data from Google. You can prevent the storage of cookies by adjusting your browser settings. However, we’d like to point out that if you do so, you may not be able to enjoy the full functionality of this website. Furthermore, you can prevent Google’s collection and analysis of the data resulting from the creation of cookies and your use of the website (including your IP address) by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available under the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en.
More detailed information regarding terms of use and data protection is available at http://www.google.com/analytics/terms/us.html or https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245?hl=en. We’d like to note that this website’s Google Analytics code was expanded to include the code “gat._anonymizeIp();” to ensure the anonymous collection of IP addresses (so-called IP Masking).
You can prevent being tracked by Google Analytics by clicking on the following link. This creates an opt-out cookie that will prevent the future collection of your data when you visit this website: Disable Google Analytics.
