Cookies
We and our partners use cookies to provide the relevant services. This also applies when you visit our website or access our services.
A ‘cookie’ is a small piece of data that is assigned to your device when you visit a website from that website. Cookies are useful and can be used for different purposes. These include, for example, making it easier to navigate between different pages, automatically activating certain functions, saving your settings and optimising access to our services. The use of cookies also enables us to show you relevant adverts tailored to your interests and to collect statistical information about your use of our services.
This website uses the following types of cookies
a. ‘Session cookies’, which provide for normal system usage. Session cookies are only stored for a limited time during a session and are deleted from your device as soon as you close your browser.
b. ‘Persistent cookies’, which are only read by the website and are not deleted when you close the browser window, but are stored on your computer for a specified period of time. This type of cookie enables us to identify you on your next visit and, for example, to save your settings.
c. ‘Third-party cookies’, which are set by other online services that are represented with their own content on the page you are visiting. These may be, for example, external web analytics companies that record and analyse access to our website.
Cookies do not contain any personal data that identifies you, but the personal data we store may be linked by us to the data contained in the cookies. You can remove cookies via the device settings on your device. Follow the relevant instructions. Please note that deactivating cookies may restrict certain functions when using our website.
The tool we use is based on Snowplow Analytics technology. The data we collect on the use of our website includes, for example, how often users visit the website or which areas are accessed. The tool we use does not collect any personal data and is used by our web hosting provider and service provider exclusively to improve its own services.
Use of script libraries (Google Web Fonts)
To ensure that our content is displayed correctly and graphically appealing in every browser, we use script and font libraries such as Google Web Fonts (https://www.google.com/webfonts). Google Web Fonts are transferred to your browser’s cache so that they only need to be loaded once. If your browser does not support Google Web Fonts or refuses access, the content will be displayed in a standard font.
When script or font libraries are called up, a connection to the operator of the library is automatically established. It is theoretically possible for this operator to collect data. It is currently not known whether and for what purpose the operators of the corresponding libraries actually collect data.
You can find the privacy policy of the operator of the Google library here: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy.
Collection of data by third parties
This policy only deals with the use and disclosure of data that we collect from you. If you publish data on other websites or disclose it to third parties on the Internet, other provisions may apply. Therefore, always read the general terms and conditions and data protection provisions carefully when you disclose data.
This Privacy Policy does not apply to the business practices of companies that are not owned or controlled by us, or to anyone other than our officers and employees, including third parties to whom we disclose this information as described in this Privacy Policy.
How do we protect your data?
We take great care in implementing security measures on the website and protect your data by not making it public, even on invisible pages.
Although we take reasonable steps to protect data, we cannot be held responsible for the actions of those who have gained unauthorised access to our website or misuse it, and we make no warranty, express or implied, that we can prevent such access.
Transfer of data outside the European Economic Area
Please note that some recipients may not be located in the European Economic Area. If this is the case, we will only transfer your data to countries authorised by the European Commission with an adequate level of data protection or ensure an adequate level of data protection through a legal agreement.

Marketing
We may use your personal data such as your name, e-mail address, telephone number, etc. ourselves or pass it on to an external subcontractor in order to provide you with advertising material relating to our services that may be of interest to you.
We respect your right to privacy. Therefore, you will always be given the opportunity to unsubscribe from further mailings in these marketing materials. If you unsubscribe, your email address or phone number will be removed from our marketing mailing lists.

Corporate transaction
We may share data in the event of a corporate transaction (e.g. sale of significant parts of a business, merger, consolidation or asset sale). If any of the above occurs, the acquirer or the relevant company will assume the rights and obligations set out in this Privacy Policy.

The use of our services by minors is only permitted with the prior consent or authorisation of a parent or legal guardian. We do not knowingly collect personal data from minors. If a parent or legal guardian becomes aware that his or her child has provided us with personal data without their consent, he or she can contact us at technik@groeneweg-maschinenbau.de.
