SSL or TLS encryption

For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or inquiries that you send to us as the site operator, this site uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from "http://" to "https://" and by the lock symbol in your browser line.

When SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

Encrypted payment transactions on this website

If, after concluding a contract that involves a charge, you are obliged to provide us with your payment details (e.g., account number for direct debit authorization), this data is required for payment processing.

Payment transactions using common payment methods (Visa/MasterCard, direct debit) are carried out exclusively via an encrypted SSL or TLS connection. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from "http://" to "https://" and by the lock symbol in your browser line.

With encrypted communication, your payment data that you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

Information, blocking, deletion

Within the framework of the applicable legal provisions, you have the right to receive information free of charge at any time about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients, and the purpose of data processing, and, if applicable, a right to correction, blocking, or deletion of this data.

We hereby object to the use of contact data published within the scope of the imprint obligation for sending unsolicited advertising and information material. The operators of the pages expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of unsolicited sending of advertising information, for example through spam emails.

Cookies

Some of the Internet pages use so-called cookies. Cookies do not harm your computer and do not contain viruses. Cookies serve to make our offer more user-friendly, effective, and secure. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer and saved by your browser.

Most of the cookies we use are so-called "session cookies." They are automatically deleted at the end of your visit. Other cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them. These cookies enable us to recognize your browser the next time you visit.

You can set your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies and only allow cookies in individual cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general, and activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. If you deactivate cookies, the functionality of this website may be restricted.

Cookies that are necessary for the electronic communication process or for the provision of certain functions requested by you (e.g., watch list) are stored on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing cookies for the technically error-free and optimized provision of its services. If other cookies (e.g., cookies for analyzing your surfing behavior) are stored, these are treated separately in this privacy policy.

Server log files

The provider of the pages automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. These are:

• Browser type and browser version
• Operating system used
• Referrer URL
• Host name of the accessing computer
• Time of the server request
• IP address

This data is not merged with other data sources.

The basis for data processing is Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR, which permits the processing of data for the fulfillment of a contract or pre-contractual measures.

Contact form

If you send us inquiries via the contact form, your details from the inquiry form, including the contact details you provided there, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the inquiry and in case of follow-up questions. We will not pass on this data without your consent.

The processing of the data entered in the contact form is therefore based exclusively on your consent (Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR). You can revoke this consent at any time. To do so, simply send us an informal email. The legality of the data processing operations carried out until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

The data you enter in the contact form will remain with us until you request us to delete it, revoke your consent to its storage, or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g., after your request has been processed). Mandatory legal provisions—in particular retention periods— remain unaffected.

Registration on this website

You can register on our website to use additional functions on the site. We use the data entered for this purpose only for the purpose of using the respective offer or service for which you have registered. The mandatory information requested during registration must be provided in full. Otherwise, we will reject the registration.

For important changes, such as changes to the scope of the offer or technically necessary changes, we use the email address provided during registration to inform you.

The data entered during registration will be processed on the basis of your consent (Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR). You can revoke your consent at any time. To do so, simply send us an informal email. The legality of the data processing that has already taken place remains unaffected by the revocation.

The data collected during registration will be stored by us for as long as you are registered on our website and will then be deleted. Statutory retention periods remain unaffected.

Processing of data (customer and contract data)

We collect, process, and use personal data only to the extent necessary for the establishment, content, or modification of the legal relationship (inventory data). This is done on the basis of Art. 6 (1) lit. b GDPR, which permits the processing of data for the fulfillment of a contract or precontractual measures. We collect, process, and use personal data about the use of our website (usage data) only to the extent necessary to enable the user to use the service or to bill for it.

The customer data collected will be deleted after completion of the order or termination of the business relationship. Statutory retention periods remain unaffected.

Data transfer upon conclusion of a contract for services and digital content

We only transfer personal data to third parties if this is necessary for the execution of the contract, for example to the credit institution responsible for payment processing.

No further transfer of data takes place, or only if you have expressly consented to the transfer. Your data will not be passed on to third parties without your express consent, for example for advertising purposes.

The basis for data processing is Art. 6 (1) lit. b GDPR, which permits the processing of data for the fulfillment of a contract or pre-contractual measures.

Data exchange with members of the group of companies

We also receive access to personal data about you from other members of the Machineseeker group of companies. This enables us, in particular, to provide you with information about products and services that we believe may be of interest to you, with your consent where required by law, and to improve our products, services, content, and advertising by analyzing your use of the services of other members of our group of companies . In addition, this enables us to better prevent, detect, mitigate, and investigate fraud, security breaches, and other prohibited or illegal activities, and to better assess the associated risks. We also grant other members of our corporate group access to personal data about you for the purposes mentioned above. To the extent that other members of our corporate group have access to your personal data, they will take data protection measures that are at least equivalent to those described in this privacy policy.

Google Analytics

This website uses functions of the web analysis service Google Analytics. The provider is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA ("Google").

Google Analytics uses so-called "cookies." These are text files that are stored on your computer and enable an analysis of your use of the website. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there.

Google Analytics cookies are stored on the basis of Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in analyzing user behavior in order to optimize both its website and its advertising.

Further information on the handling of data collected by Google services can be found in Google's statement: https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites

IP anonymization

We have activated the IP anonymization function on this website. This means that your IP address will be truncated by Google within member states of the European Union or in other signatory states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area before being transmitted to the USA. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and truncated there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your 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. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.

Browser plugin

You may refuse the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser; however, please note that if you do this, you may not be able to use the full functionality of this website. You can also prevent Google from collecting the data generated by the cookie and relating to your use of the website (including your IP address) and from processing this data by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en.

Objection to data collection

You can prevent Google Analytics from collecting your data by clicking on the following link. An opt-out cookie will be set to prevent your data from being collected on future visits to this website: Disable Google Analytics.

For more information on how Google Analytics handles user data, please refer to Google's privacy policy: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245?hl=en.

Order data processing

We have concluded a contract with Google for commissioned data processing and fully implement the strict requirements of the German data protection authorities when using Google Analytics.

Demographic characteristics in Google Analytics

This website uses the "demographic characteristics" feature of Google Analytics. This allows reports to be generated that contain information about the age, gender, and interests of site visitors. This data comes from interest-based advertising from Google and visitor data from third-party providers. This data cannot be attributed to any specific individual. You can disable this feature at any time via the ad settings in your Google account or generally prohibit the collection of your data by Google Analytics as described in the section "Objection to data collection."

Google Analytics Remarketing

Our websites use the functions of Google Analytics Remarketing in conjunction with the crossdevice functions of Google Ads and Google DoubleClick. The provider is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.

This feature allows the advertising audiences created with Google Analytics Remarketing to be linked to the cross-device features of Google Ads and Google DoubleClick. In this way, interestbased, personalized advertising messages that have been tailored to you based on your previous usage and surfing behavior on one device (e.g., cell phone) can also be displayed on another of your devices (e.g., tablet or PC).

If you have given your consent, Google will link your web and app browsing history to your Google account for this purpose. This allows the same personalized advertising messages to be displayed on every device you log into with your Google account.

To support this feature, Google Analytics collects Google-authenticated user IDs, which are temporarily linked to our Google Analytics data to define and create target groups for crossdevice advertising.

You can permanently opt out of cross-device remarketing/targeting by disabling personalized advertising in your Google account; to do so, follow this link: https://www.google.com/settings/ads/onweb/.

The summary of the data collected in your Google account is based solely on your consent, which you can give or revoke at Google (Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR). For data collection processes that are not merged into your Google Account (e.g. because you do not have a Google Account or have objected to the merger), the collection of data is based on Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR. The legitimate interest arises from the fact that the website operator has an interest in the anonymous analysis of website visitors for advertising purposes.

Further information and the privacy policy can be found in Google's privacy policy at: https://www.google.com/policies/technologies/ads/.

Google Ads and Google Conversion Tracking

This website uses Google Ads. Ads is an online advertising program from Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, United States.

We use conversion tracking as part of Google Ads. When you click on an ad placed by Google, a cookie is set for conversion tracking. Cookies are small text files that the Internet browser stores on the user's computer. These cookies expire after 30 days and are not used to personally identify users. If the user visits certain pages of this website and the cookie has not yet expired, Google and we can recognize that the user clicked on the ad and was redirected to this page.

Each Google Ads customer receives a different cookie. Cookies cannot be tracked across the websites of Ads customers. The information collected using the conversion cookie is used to generate conversion statistics for Ads customers who have opted for conversion tracking.

Customers learn the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a page tagged with a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not receive any information that can be used to personally identify users. If you do not wish to participate in tracking, you can object to this use by easily deactivating the Google conversion tracking cookie in your internet browser under user settings. You will then not be included in the conversion tracking statistics.

The storage of "conversion cookies" is based on Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in analyzing user behavior in order to optimize both its website and its advertising.

For more information about Google Ads and Google Conversion Tracking, please refer to Google's privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy.

You can set your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies and only allow cookies in individual cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general, and activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser . If you deactivate cookies, the functionality of this website may be restricted.

Google reCAPTCHA

We use "Google reCAPTCHA" (hereinafter "reCAPTCHA") on our websites. The provider is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.

reCAPTCHA is used to check whether the data entered on our websites (e.g., in a contact form) is entered by a human or by an automated program. To do this, reCAPTCHA analyzes the behavior of the website visitor based on various characteristics. This analysis begins automatically as soon as the website visitor enters the website. reCAPTCHA evaluates various information for the analysis (e.g., IP address, length of time the website visitor stays on the website, or mouse movements made by the user). The data collected during the analysis is forwarded to Google.

The reCAPTCHA analyses run completely in the background. Website visitors are not notified that an analysis is taking place.

Data processing is based on Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in protecting its web offerings from abusive automated spying and spam.

For more information about Google reCAPTCHA and Google's privacy policy, please visit the following links: https://www.google.com/intl/de/policies/privacy/ and https://www.google.com/recaptcha/intro/android.html.

Google Firebase

Our Android and iOS apps use Google Firebase technology from Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. Google Firebase uses servers located in the EEA for its services wherever possible. However, it cannot be ruled out that data may also be transferred to the USA. (https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt000000001L5AAI ). In addition, we have concluded a data processing agreement with Google containing standard contractual clauses, in which Google undertakes to process user data only in accordance with our instructions and to comply with EU data protection standards.

The legal basis for the use of this cloud service is a legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR, as the processing of your data is protected by a data processing agreement.

For more information about Google Firebase, please refer to Google's privacy policy and guidelines: https://firebase.google.com/terms/data-processing-terms; https://firebase.google.com/terms/; https://firebase.google.com/support/privacy/

We use the following Firebase services:

Google Analytics for Firebase enables the analysis of the use of our offering. This collects information about the use of our app, transmits it to Google, and stores it there . Google uses the advertising ID of the end device for this purpose. Google will use the aforementioned information to evaluate the use of our app anonymously and to provide us with further services related to the use of apps. You can restrict the use of the advertising ID in your device settings (iOS: Privacy/Advertising/Ad Tracking; Android: Account/Google/Ads).

The legal basis for the analysis of usage behavior is a legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR. When collecting usage behavior, our interest outweighs your protection interests, as this enables us to improve our app and we do not pass on the data to third parties who pursue their own interests with the data.

Firebase Cloud Messaging is used to send push notifications or in-app messages, i.e., messages that are only displayed within the app. The mobile device is assigned a pseudonymized PushReference, which serves as the destination for the push notifications or in-app messages.

Firebase Crashlytics serves to stabilize and improve the app. It collects information about the device used and the use of our app. This includes, for example, the times when the app is started and when a crash occurs. This information enables us to diagnose and solve problems.

The legal basis for the use of Crashlytics is a legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR.

Facebook Pixel

Our website uses the visitor action pixel from Facebook, Meta Platforms Inc., 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA ("Facebook") to measure conversions.

This allows the behavior of page visitors to be tracked after they have been redirected to the provider's website by clicking on a Facebook advertisement. This allows the effectiveness of Facebook advertisements to be evaluated for statistical and market research purposes and future advertising measures to be optimized.

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 Use Policy. This enables Facebook to place advertisements on Facebook pages and outside of Facebook. As the website operator, we have no influence on this use of the data.

You can find further information on the protection of your privacy in Facebook's privacy policy: https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/.

You can also deactivate the "Custom Audiences" remarketing function in the ad settings at 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: https://www.youronlinechoices.com/uk/your-ad-choices.

MailChimp helps us analyze our newsletter campaigns. When you open an email sent by MailChimp, a file contained in the email (known as a web beacon) connects to MailChimp's servers in the USA.
