Cookies

We use cookies on our website. Cookies are small text files that can be stored and read on your device. A distinction is made between session cookies, which are deleted when you close your browser, and permanent cookies, which are stored beyond the individual session. Cookies can contain data that enables the device used to be recognized. In some cases, however, cookies only contain information on certain settings that are not personally identifiable.

We use session cookies and permanent cookies on our website. Processing is based on Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR and in the interest of optimizing or enabling user navigation and adapting the presentation of our website.

You can set your browser so that it informs you about the placement of cookies. This makes the use of cookies transparent for you. You can also delete cookies at any time via the corresponding browser setting and prevent new cookies from being set. Please note that our website may then not be displayed optimally and some functions may no longer be technically available.

Google Analytics

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service of Google Inc. (“Google”). Google Analytics uses so-called “cookies”, 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 transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. If IP anonymization is activated on this website, your IP address will be shortened beforehand by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened 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.

You can prevent the storage of cookies by setting your browser software accordingly; however, we would like to point out that in this case you may not be able to use all functions of this website to their full extent. 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 Google by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available under the following link: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de.

This website uses Google Analytics with the extension “_anonymizeIp()”. This means that IP addresses are further processed in abbreviated form, which means that they cannot be linked to a specific person. If the data collected about you is personally identifiable, it will be immediately excluded and the personal data will be deleted immediately.

We use Google Analytics to analyze and regularly improve the use of our website. We can improve our offer and make it more interesting for you as a user using the statistics obtained. For the exceptional cases in which personal data is transferred to the USA, Google has submitted to the EU-US Privacy Shield, https://www.privacyshield.gov/EU-US-Framework.

With your consent, you can subscribe to our newsletter, with which we inform you about our current interesting offers. The advertised goods and services are named in the declaration of consent.

We use the so-called double opt-in procedure to register for our newsletter. This means that after you register, we will send you an email to the email address you provided, in which we ask you to confirm that you would like the newsletter to be sent. If you do not confirm your registration within 24 hours, your information will be blocked and automatically deleted after one month. In addition, we store your IP addresses used and the times of registration and confirmation. The purpose of the procedure is to be able to prove your registration and, if necessary, to clarify possible misuse of your personal data.

The only mandatory information for sending the newsletter is your email address and a freely selectable form of address. After your confirmation, we save your email address for the purpose of sending you the newsletter. The legal basis is Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. a GDPR.

You can revoke your consent to the sending of the newsletter at any time and unsubscribe from the newsletter. You can declare your revocation by clicking on the link provided in every newsletter email, via a form on the website or by email to info@aris-systeme.de.

We would like to point out that we evaluate your user behavior when sending the newsletter. For this evaluation, the emails sent contain so-called web beacons or tracking pixels, which are one-pixel image files that are stored on our website. For the evaluations, we link the data mentioned in § 3 and the web beacons with your email address and an individual ID. Links received in the newsletter also contain this ID.

With the data obtained in this way, we create a user profile in order to tailor the newsletter to your individual interests. We record when you read our newsletters, which links you click on in them and deduce your personal interests from this. We link this data with actions you have taken on our website.

You can object to this tracking at any time by clicking on the separate link provided in every email or by informing us via another contact route. The information will be stored as long as you have subscribed to the newsletter. After unsubscribing, we store the data purely statistically and anonymously.

The legal basis for processing is Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR. Your data will only be processed to answer your request and will be deleted after a period of 30 days. It will not be passed on to third parties.

Integration of YouTube videos

We have integrated YouTube videos into our online offering, which are stored on http://www.YouTube.com and can be played directly from our website. These are all integrated in “extended data protection mode”, i.e. that no data about you as a user is transmitted to YouTube if you do not play the videos. Only when you play the videos will the data mentioned in paragraph 2 be transmitted. We have no influence on this data transfer.

By visiting the website, YouTube receives the information that you have accessed the corresponding subpage of our website. In addition, the data mentioned in § 3 of this declaration will be transmitted. This happens regardless of whether YouTube provides a user account through which you are logged in or whether there is no user account. If you are logged in to Google, your data will be directly assigned to your account. If you do not want the assignment to your profile on YouTube, you must log out before activating the button. YouTube stores your data as usage profiles and uses them for the purposes of advertising, market research and/or the needs-based design of its website. Such an evaluation is carried out in particular (even for users who are not logged in) to provide needs-based advertising and to inform other users of the social network about your activities on our website. You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles, whereby you must contact YouTube to exercise this right.

Further information on the purpose and scope of data collection and its processing by YouTube can be found in the privacy policy. There you will also receive further information about your rights and setting options to protect your privacy: https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy.

Your rights as a user

When processing your personal data, the GDPR grants you certain rights as a website user:

1. Right to information (Art. 15 GDPR):

You have the right to request confirmation as to whether personal data relating to you is being processed; if this is the case, you have a right to information about this personal data and to the information listed in detail in Art. 15 GDPR.

2. Right to correction and deletion (Art. 16 and 17 GDPR):

You have the right to request the immediate correction of incorrect personal data concerning you and, if necessary, the completion of incomplete personal data. You also have the right to request that personal data concerning you be deleted immediately, provided that one of the reasons listed in detail in Art. 17 GDPR applies, e.g. if the data is no longer required for the purposes pursued.

3. Right to restriction of processing (Art. 18 GDPR):

You have the right to request the restriction of processing if one of the conditions listed in Art. 18 GDPR is met, e.g. if you have objected to the processing, for the duration of any review.

4. Right to data portability (Art. 20 GDPR):

In certain cases, which are listed in detail in Art. 20 GDPR, you have the right to receive the personal data concerning you in a structured, common and machine-readable format or to request the transfer of this data to a third party.

5. Right to object (Art. 21 GDPR):

If data is collected on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f (data processing to protect legitimate interests), you have the right to object to the processing at any time for reasons arising from your particular situation. We will then no longer process the personal data, unless there are demonstrably compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that outweigh the interests, rights and freedoms of the data subject, or the processing serves to assert, exercise or defend legal claims.

6. Right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority

According to Art. 77 GDPR, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority if you believe that the processing of your data violates data protection regulations. The right to lodge a complaint can be exercised in particular with a supervisory authority in the member state of your place of residence, your workplace or the place of the alleged violation.

Objection or revocation against the processing of your data

(1) If you have given your consent to the processing of your data, you can revoke it at any time. Such a revocation affects the permissibility of processing your personal data after you have expressed it to us.

(2) To the extent that we base the processing of your personal data on the balancing of interests, you may object to the processing. This is the case if the processing is not necessary, in particular, for the performance of a contract with you, which is presented by us in each case in the following description of the functions. When exercising such objection, we ask you to explain the reasons why we should not process your personal data as carried out by us. In the event of your justified objection, we will examine the situation and either discontinue or adapt the data processing or point out to you our compelling legitimate grounds on the basis of which we continue the processing.

(3) Of course, you can object to the processing of your personal data for advertising and data analysis purposes at any time. You can inform us about your advertising objection using the contact details mentioned at the beginning.
