The legal basis relating to data protection is set forth in the German Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG) and Telemedia Act (TMG).
Gießerei Manfred Hartwich is subject to the provisions of the Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG), which fundamentally ensures the anonymity of users when they visit our website. If, in individual cases, your name, address or other personal information are required, then you will be made aware of this in advance. When you visit the website, Gießerei Manfred Hartwich receives usage data which is stored for security purposes and possibly used to allow identification (for example, your IP address, date, time and pages viewed).
This data is evaluated by Gießerei Manfred Hartwich in order to understand user behaviour and compile statistics. In so doing, the stringent security standards required by the German Teleservices Data Protection Act (TDSV) and the Telecommunication Data Protection Regulation (TDSV) applicable to telecommunications companies are observed. The data is not analysed on a personal basis. We reserve the right to perform statistical evaluation of anonymised data records. Where, during the course of commissioned data processing, data is forwarded to third party service providers, such data is also subject to the provisions of the Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG), other statutory regulations and to this Gießerei Manfred Hartwich Privacy Policy. Where Gießerei Manfred Hartwich is placed under a legal obligation or is subject to a court ruling to divulge your information, then the company will forward such information to the relevant authorities to the extent required by law. Gießerei Manfred Hartwich will not forward your information to other third parties without your express consent.
2. Access data/server log files
The provider (or his web space provider) collects data each time the content is accessed (so-called server log files). Such access data includes:
The name of the website visited, the file, date and time of the visit, the volume of data transferred, confirmation of successful retrieval of data, the browser type and version, the user’s operating system, referrer URL (the previously visited web page), IP address and the requesting domain.
The provider will only use the log files to perform statistical evaluations for the purpose of operating, securing and optimising the content. However, the provider reserves the right to subsequently review the log files where, on the basis of on specific evidence, a justified suspicion exists that the content is being used in a manner that is unlawful.
3. Processing of personal data
Personal data means information which can be used to determine a person’s identity, i.e. details that can be traced back to a person. Such information includes the name, email address and telephone number. But information about preferences, hobbies, memberships or the websites that people have visited is also considered to be personal data.
Personal data is only collected, processed and forwarded by the provider if this is legally permitted or if users grant their permission for such data to be collected.
4. Establishing contact
When establishing contact with the provider (for instance via a contact form or by email) the user’s data is stored for the purpose of processing the enquiry and in the event that follow-up questions arise.
5. Inclusion of third party services and content
It is possible that third party content may be included on the website, for instance YouTube videos, map material from Google Maps, RSS feeds or graphics from other websites. This requires that the providers of such content (hereinafter referred to as “third-party providers”) detect the user’s IP address. Without the IP address, you would not be able to send the contents to the individual users’ browsers. The IP address is therefore required to display these contents. We endeavour only to use such content for which the respective providers solely use the IP address for delivering content. However, we have no influence over whether third-party providers store the IP address – for statistical purposes for example. We will inform users should we detect such action.
6. Google analytics
This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google, Inc. (“Google”). Google Analytics uses “cookies”, which are text files placed on your computer, to help the website analyze how users use the site. The information generated by the cookie about your use of the website (including your IP address) will be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States. In case of activation of the IP anonymization, Google will truncate/anonymize the last octet of the IP address for Member States of the European Union as well as for other parties to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases, the full IP address is sent to and shortened by Google servers in the USA. On behalf of the website provider Google will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of the website, compiling reports on website activity for website operators and providing other services relating to website activity and internet usage to the website provider. Google will not associate your IP address with any other data held by Google. 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. Furthermore you can prevent Google’s collection and use of data (cookies and IP address) by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available under (http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en-GB).
