We collect and use our users’ personal data on the basis of statutory provisions, to the extent that such collection is necessary for us to be able to provide and maintain the functions, contents and services of the website. When using special services, for instance a contact form, the collection and use of our users’ personal data takes place with the users’ consent.
The legal basis for the processing of personal data is as follows: if the data subject has given his or her consent: Article 6(1)(1a) GDPR; if personal data are processed for the performance of a contract: Article 6(1)(1b) GDPR; if personal data are processed for the performance of a legal obligation: Article 6(1)(1c) GDPR; and if vital interests of the data subject or another individual require the processing of personal data: Article 6(1)(1d) GDPR.
If processing is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest of our company or a third party, and if the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not outweigh the former interests, Article 6(1)(1f) GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing.
Personal data of the data subject will be erased or blocked as soon as the purpose of such storage, or the legal obligation to store, no longer applies. Data may be stored beyond this if this is required by law.
For security reasons and to protect the transmission of personal data, such as the requests you send to us in our capacity as the site operator, this website uses SSL encryption (Secure Socket Layer), in each case in conjunction with the highest level of encryption supported by your browser. This is usually 256-bit encryption. If your browser does not support 256-bit encryption, we use 128-bit v3 technology instead.
Whenever you access our website for information purposes only, i.e. if you do not register or otherwise provide us with information, our system automatically collects personal data and information that your computer system transmits to our server. If you wish to view our website, we collect the following data, which is technically necessary in order for us to display our website to you and to ensure stability and security:
(1) Information on the browser software, its language and the version used
(2) Operating system and user interface
(3) User IP address
(4) Date and time of access
(5) Content of the request (specific page)
(6) Access status/http status
code
(7) Websites from which the user's system reaches our website
The data are also stored in the log files on our system. These data are not stored together with other personal data of the user.
The legal basis for the temporary storage of data is Article 6(1)(1f) GDPR.
The temporary storage of the IP address by the system is necessary to enable the website to be delivered to the user's computer. For this purpose, the user’s IP address must remain stored for the duration of the session.
The data are stored in log files to ensure the functionality of the website. In addition, the data serve to optimise the website and to ensure the security of our information technology systems. An analysis of the data for marketing purposes does not take place in this context.
These purposes also constitute our legitimate interest in data processing in accordance with Article 6(1)(1f) GDPR.
The data will be deleted as soon as they are no longer necessary to achieve the purpose for which they were collected. If data are collected in order to make the website available, this is the case once the respective session has ended.
If the data are stored in log files, this is the case after seven days at the latest. Further storage is possible. In this case, the users’ IP addresses are deleted or alienated in such a way that identification of the calling client is no longer possible.
An objection against the collection and processing of personal data is only possible with regard to voluntary information given within the scope of a declaration of consent, but not in the case of data in log files which are absolutely necessary for the operation of the website.
Our website uses cookies. Cookies are text files that are stored in the internet browser or by the internet browser on the user's terminal device (PC, laptop, tablet, smartphone etc.). When a user visits a website, a cookie may be stored on the user's operating system. This cookie contains a characteristic sequence of characters that enables a unique identification of the browser when the website is called up again. Cookies do no damage to your terminal device, do not contain viruses, Trojans or other malware. The information stored in the cookie results in each case in connection with the specific terminal device that is being used. However, this does not mean that we immediately learn of your identity.
We use cookies to make our website more user-friendly. Some elements of our website require that the calling browser can be identified even after a page change. The following data are stored and transmitted in the cookies:
(1) Session-ID
(2) Consent to cookie notice
In addition, Google Analytics uses cookies to analyse visitor behaviour; for further information see VIII a).
The legal basis for the processing of personal data is Article 6(1)(1f) GDPR.
The use of cookies is intended to simplify the use of websites for the users. Some functions of our website cannot be offered without using cookies. For these functions, it is necessary that the browser is recognized even after a page change.
We need cookies for the following applications:
(1) To prevent / detect misuse of the website
(2) To store the declaration accepting the cookie notice
The user data collected by technically necessary cookies are not used to create user profiles. The above purposes also constitute our legitimate interest in the processing of personal data pursuant to Article 6(1)(1f) GDPR.
Cookies are stored on the user's computer and transmitted by this computer to our site. Therefore, you as the user have full control over the use of cookies. You can deactivate or restrict the transmission of cookies by changing the settings in your internet browser. Cookies that have already been stored can be deleted at any time. This can also be done automatically. If cookies are deactivated for our website, it may no longer be possible to use all functions of the website in full.
Our website contains a contact form which can be used for contacting us electronically. If a user uses this option, the data entered in the input mask will be transmitted to us and stored. These data are (partly dependent on the respective contact form):
• Name, e-mail address, message
At the time the message is sent, the following data are also stored:
(1) IP address
(2) Date and time of submission of the form
During the sending process, your consent to the processing of the data is obtained, and reference is made to this Privacy Policy.
Alternatively, you can contact us via the e-mail address provided. In this case, the user's personal data transmitted by e-mail will be stored.
In this context, the data will not be passed on to third parties. The data are used exclusively for processing the conversation.
The legal basis for the processing of the data is Article 6(1)(1a) GDPR if the user has given his or her consent, and Article 6(1)(1f) if data transmitted in the course of sending an e-mail are processed.
If the e-mail contact aims at the conclusion of a contract, Art 6(1)(1b) GDPR constitutes an additional legal basis for processing.
The processing of the personal data from the input mask exclusively serves to deal with the relevant inquiry. If you contact us by e-mail, this also constitutes the necessary legitimate interest in the processing of the data.
The other personal data processed during the sending process serve to prevent misuse of the contact form and to ensure the security of our information technology systems.
The data will be deleted as soon as they are no longer necessary to achieve the purpose for which they were collected. For the personal data from the input mask of the contact form and those that were sent by e-mail, this is the case when the respective conversation with the user is over. The conversation is over when it can be inferred from the circumstances that the facts in question have been finally clarified.
The additional personal data collected during the sending process will be deleted after a period of seven days at the latest.
The user has the possibility to revoke his or her consent to the processing of personal data at any time. If the user contacts us by e-mail, he or she can object to the storage of personal data at any time. In such a case, the conversation cannot be continued. If the user objects to optional personal data that are not marked as mandatory in the contact forms, a conversation may be able to be continued.
To revoke the consent to the processing of personal data transmitted via the contact form or by e-mail, simply send an informal e-mail to datenschutz@emw.de.
All personal data stored in the course of you contacting us will be deleted in this case.
Our website offers the option of subscribing to a free newsletter. If you wish to subscribe to the newsletter offered on the website, we require an e-mail address from you as well as information that allows us to verify that you are the owner of the e-mail address provided, and that you agree to receiving the newsletter.
We use the so-called double opt-in procedure to ensure that the sending of newsletters is covered by your consent. In the course of this procedure, the potential recipient is included in a distribution list. Subsequently, the user can confirm the registration in a legally secure manner by means of a confirmation e-mail. The address is only actively included in the distribution list if registration is confirmed. We use these data exclusively for sending the requested information and offers.
The newsletter software we use is Newsletter2Go. Your data will be transmitted to Newsletter2Go GmbH. Newsletter2Go is prohibited from selling your data and using it for purposes other than sending newsletters.

For further information, please go to https://www.newsletter2go.de/informationen-newsletter-empfaenger/
Data protection measures are always subject to technical improvement. For this reason, we ask you to regularly obtain information on our data protection measures by reviewing our Privacy Policy.
The legal basis for the processing of the data is the user's consent, Article 6(1)(1a) GDPR.
The collection of the user's e-mail address serves to send the newsletter. The collection of other personal data as part of the newsletter registration procedure serves to prevent misuse of the services or the e-mail address that is being used.
The data will be deleted as soon as they are no longer necessary to achieve the purpose for which they were collected. The user's e-mail address is stored for as long as his or her subscription is active.
The subscription to the newsletter may be cancelled by the relevant user at any time. For this purpose, each newsletter contains a corresponding link.
This also allows you to revoke your consent to the storage of data processed during the registration process.
The tracking measures listed below and used by us are carried out on the basis of Article 6(1)(1f) GDPR. With the tracking measures used, we want to ensure that our website is designed in a demand-oriented manner, and is continually optimised. On the other hand, we use the tracking measures to statistically record usage of our website and to evaluate it for the purpose of optimising our offers for you. These interests are to be regarded as legitimate within the meaning of the aforementioned provision.
The respective data processing purposes and data categories can be found in the corresponding tracking tools.
For the purpose of demand-oriented design and continuous optimisation of our website, we use Google Analytics, a web analysis service provided by Google Inc. (https://www.google.de/intl/de/about/) (1600
Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; hereinafter “Google”). In this context, pseudonymised user profiles are created and cookies (see V.) are used. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website such as
•
browser type/version,
• operating system used,
• referrer URL (the previously visited page),,
• host name of the accessing computer (IP address),
• time of the server request,
are transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored
there. The information is used to evaluate usage of the website, to compile reports on the website activities, and to provide further services associated with the use of the website and the internet for the purposes of market research and demand-oriented
design of these internet pages. This information may also be transmitted to third parties if this is mandatory under applicable law or if third parties process such data on behalf. Under no circumstances will your IP address be linked to other Google
data. The IP addresses are anonymised so that identification is not possible (IP masking).
You can prevent the installation of cookies by setting the browser software accordingly; however, we must inform you that, in this case, you may not be able to fully use all features on this website.
Furthermore, you can prevent the collection of the data generated by the cookie relating to your use of the website (including your IP address), as well as the processing of these data by Google, by downloading and installing a browser add-on: (https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de).
As an alternative to the browser add-on, especially for browsers on mobile devices, you can also prevent Google Analytics from collecting data by clicking on this link. An opt-out cookie is set to prevent future collection of your data when you visit this website. The opt-out cookie is only valid in this browser and only for our website, and is stored on your device. If you delete the cookies in this browser, you will have to set the opt-out cookie again.
More information about privacy in connection with Google Analytics, can be found, for instance, in the Google Analytics help centre ( https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245?hl=en).

Google Ads enables us to display advertisements in the Google search engine or on third-party websites when the user enters certain search terms on Google (keyword targeting). Furthermore, targeted advertisements can be played on the basis of the user data available at Google (e.g. location data and interests) (target group targeting). As the website operator, we can evaluate this data quantitatively by analysing, for example, which search terms have led to the display of our advertisements and how many advertisements have led to corresponding clicks.

Google conversion tracking enables Google and us to recognise whether the user has carried out certain actions. For example, we can evaluate which buttons on our website were clicked how often and which products were viewed or purchased particularly frequently. This information is used to create conversion statistics. We learn the total number of users who clicked on our ads and what actions they took. We do not receive any information with which we can personally identify the user. Google itself uses cookies or comparable recognition technologies for identification purposes.
The use of this service is based on your consent according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO and § 25 para. 1 TTDSG. This consent can be revoked at any time.
