Collection of General Information

When you access our website, information of a general nature is automatically collected. This information (server log files) includes, for example, the type of web browser, the operating system used, the domain name of your Internet service provider and similar information. This is exclusively information that does not allow any conclusions to be drawn about your person. This information is technically necessary in order to deliver the website content you request correctly and is inevitably generated when using the Internet. Anonymous information of this kind is statistically evaluated by us in order to optimize our website and the technology behind it.

Cookies

Like many other websites, we also use so-called “cookies.” Cookies are small text files that are transferred from a website server to your hard drive. This automatically provides us with certain data, such as your IP address, the browser you use, and the operating system on your computer, as well as information about your connection to the Internet.

Cookies cannot be used to start programs or transmit viruses to a computer. Based on the information contained in cookies, we can make navigation easier for you and enable the correct display of our websites.

Under no circumstances will the data collected by us be passed on to third parties or linked to personal data without your consent.

Of course, you can generally view our website without cookies. Internet browsers are regularly configured to accept cookies. You can deactivate the use of cookies at any time via your browser settings. Please use the help functions of your Internet browser to find out how to change these settings. Please note that individual functions of our website may not work if you have deactivated the use of cookies.

Registration on Our Website

When registering to use our personalized services, some personal data is collected, such as your name, address, and contact and communication details such as your telephone number and email address. If you are registered with us, you can access content and services that we offer only to registered users. Registered users also have the option of changing or deleting the data provided during registration at any time, if necessary. Of course, we will also provide you with information at any time about the personal data we have stored about you. We will also be happy to correct or delete this data at your request, provided that there are no statutory retention obligations to the contrary. To contact us in this regard, please use the contact details provided at the end of this Privacy Policy.

SSL Encryption

To protect the security of your data during transmission, we use encryption methods corresponding to the current state of the art (e.g., SSL) via HTTPS.

Newsletter and Yearbook

When you register to receive our newsletter and yearbook, the data you provide will be used exclusively for this purpose. Subscribers may also be informed by email about circumstances relevant to the service or registration (for example, changes to the newsletter offering or technical conditions).

We require a valid email address for effective registration. To verify that registration is actually carried out by the owner of an email address, we use the “double opt-in” procedure. For this purpose, we log the ordering of the newsletter, the dispatch of a confirmation email, and receipt of the requested response. No additional data is collected. The data is used exclusively for sending the newsletter and mailing the yearbook and is not passed on to third parties.

You may revoke your consent to the storage of your personal data and its use for sending the newsletter/yearbook at any time. Each newsletter contains a corresponding link for this purpose. You can also unsubscribe directly on this website at any time or notify us of your request via the contact option provided at the end of this Privacy Notice or by email.

Contact Form

If you contact us by email or via the contact form, the information you provide will be stored for the purpose of processing your inquiry and for any follow-up questions.

Deletion or Blocking of Data

We adhere to the principles of data minimization and data economy. We therefore store your personal data only for as long as is necessary to achieve the purposes stated here or as provided for by the various statutory retention periods. Once the respective purpose no longer applies or these periods have expired, the corresponding data is routinely blocked or deleted in accordance with the statutory provisions.

Use of Google Analytics

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc. (hereinafter: Google). Google Analytics uses so-called “cookies,” i.e., text files that are stored on your computer and that enable an analysis of your use of the website. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is generally transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. However, due to the activation of IP anonymization on these websites, Google truncates your IP address beforehand within member states of the European Union or in other states party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address 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, compile reports on website activity, and provide the website operator with other services related to website and Internet use. The IP address transmitted by your browser within the scope of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.

You can prevent cookies from being stored by selecting the appropriate settings in your browser software; however, please note that in this case you may not be able to use all the functions of this website to their full extent. You can also prevent the collection by Google of the data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address), as well as the processing of this data by Google, by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at the following link: Browser add-on for deactivating Google Analytics.

In addition to or as an alternative to the browser add-on, you can prevent tracking by Google Analytics on our pages by clicking this link . An opt-out cookie will then be installed on your device. This will prevent data collection by Google Analytics for this website and this browser in the future, as long as the cookie remains installed in your browser.

Use of Google Maps

This website uses the Google Maps API to display geographical information visually. When using Google Maps, Google also collects, processes, and uses data about visitors’ use of the map functions. For more information about data processing by Google, please refer to the Google Privacy Policy. There you can also change your personal privacy settings in the Privacy Center.

Detailed instructions for managing your own data in connection with Google products can be found here.

Embedded YouTube Videos

We embed YouTube videos on some of our websites. The operator of the corresponding plugins is YouTube, LLC, 901 Cherry Ave., San Bruno, CA 94066, USA. When you visit a page with the YouTube plugin, a connection is established to YouTube servers. YouTube is informed which pages you visit. If you are logged into your YouTube account, YouTube can personally associate your browsing behavior with you. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account beforehand.

When a YouTube video is started, the provider uses cookies that collect information about user behavior.

Anyone who has deactivated the storage of cookies for the Google ad program will not have to expect such cookies when watching YouTube videos either. However, YouTube also stores non-personal usage information in other cookies. If you wish to prevent this, you must block the storage of cookies in your browser.

Further information on data protection at “YouTube” can be found in the provider’s Privacy Policy at: https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/

Google AdWords

Our website uses Google conversion tracking. The operator of Google AdWords services is Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. If you reach our website via an advertisement placed by Google, Google Adwords places a cookie on your computer. The conversion tracking cookie is set when a user clicks on an advertisement placed by Google.

If the user visits certain pages of our website and the cookie has not yet expired, we and Google can recognize that the user clicked on the advertisement and was redirected to this page. Each Google AdWords customer receives a different cookie. Cookies therefore cannot be tracked via the websites of AdWords customers. The information collected with the conversion cookie is used to create conversion statistics for AdWords customers who have opted for conversion tracking. Customers learn the total number of users who clicked on their advertisement and were redirected to a page equipped with a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not receive any information that can personally identify users.

For more information about data processing by Google, please refer to the Google Privacy Policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy. There you can also change your personal privacy settings in the Privacy Center.

Withdrawal of Consent:

The provider currently does not offer an option for a simple opt-out or for blocking data transmission. If you wish to prevent your activities on our website from being tracked, please withdraw your consent for the relevant cookie category or for all technically unnecessary cookies and data transmissions in the cookie consent tool. In this case, however, you may not be able to use our website, or may only be able to use it to a limited extent.

Our Company Page on LinkedIn

We operate a company page on LinkedIn (https://www.linkedin.com/company/reinraum-online/). The provider is LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company, Wilton Plaza, Wilton Place, Dublin 2, Ireland. We publish posts about our news on this page. If you visit our page, follow it, or interact with posts, LinkedIn processes your data in accordance with the LinkedIn Privacy Policy.

We are jointly responsible with LinkedIn for the page statistics (“Page Insights”) (Art. 26 GDPR). The agreement can be found at https://legal.linkedin.com/pages-joint-controller-addendum. We receive only aggregated, non-personal statistics from LinkedIn. The legal basis is our legitimate interest in informing the professional public (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR).

Publication of Our News on LinkedIn

We publish our news on our company page via LinkedIn’s interface. In doing so, we transmit only the content of the news (text, title, image, link) to LinkedIn. We do not retrieve or store personal data of visitors to our website or LinkedIn members via the interface.

Share Button

Below our news items, you will find a button for sharing on LinkedIn. This is a simple link. Data is not transmitted to LinkedIn until you click it; the LinkedIn website then opens.

Your Rights to Information, Rectification, Blocking, Deletion, and Objection

You have the right to obtain information at any time about your personal data stored by us. You also have the right to have your personal data corrected, blocked, or, apart from the required data storage for business transactions, deleted. Please contact our data protection officer for this purpose. You can find the contact details at the very bottom.

To ensure that data blocking can be taken into account at any time, this data must be kept in a blocking file for control purposes. You may also request the deletion of your data unless there is a statutory archiving obligation. If such an obligation exists, we will block your data at your request.

You may make changes or withdraw your consent by notifying us accordingly, with effect for the future.

Amendment of Our Privacy Policy

We reserve the right to occasionally adapt this Privacy Policy so that it always complies with current legal requirements or to implement changes to our services in the Privacy Policy, e.g., when introducing new services. The new Privacy Policy will then apply when you visit our website again.
