Purposes and legal bases of data processing
1. Accessing and visiting our website - server log files

To technically provide the website, we must process data automatically transmitted by your browser to allow the display of our website in your browser and to permit your use of the website. This data is automatically collected each time our website is accessed and automatically stored in so-called server log files. This data includes: Browser type and browser version
Operating system used/li>
Website from which our site is accessed (referrer URL)
Host name of accessing computer
Date and time of access
IP address of accessing computer

The retention of the above-mentioned access data is necessary for the provision of a functional website and to ensure system security for technical reasons. This also applies to the retention of your IP address, which necessarily takes place and, under further conditions, can at least theoretically be allocated to your person. In addition to the above-mentioned purposes, we use server log files solely for the purpose of tailoring the design and optimization of our website purely for statistical purposes and without any reference to your person. This data will not be merged with other data sources, nor will the data be evaluated for marketing purposes.
The access data collected in the course of using our website is only stored for the time that is required to achieve the above purposes. Your IP address is stored on our web server for a maximum of 7 days for IT security purposes.
Insofar as you visit our website in order to obtain information about our range of products and services or to use them, the basis for the temporary retention and processing of access data is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b GDPR (legal basis), which permits the processing of data for the performance of a contract or the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In addition, Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR serves as the legal basis for the temporary retention of technical access data. Our legitimate interest in this respect is to be able to provide you with a technically functioning and user-friendly website and to ensure the security of our systems.

Moreover, you can object to processing based on legitimate interests by making the appropriate settings.
Specifically, the following cookie-based tools/plugins are used on this website:

Use of Google Analytics

We use the Google Analytics web analytics service provided by Google Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland; "Google") on our website. The data processing serves the purpose of analyzing this website and its visitors, as well as marketing and advertising purposes. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use the information obtained to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activities, and to provide the website operator with further services related to website and internet use. In this context, the following information may, inter alia, be collected: IP address, date and time of page view, click path, information about the browser you are using and the device you are using, pages visited, referrer URL (website from which you accessed our website), location data, purchase activity. The IP address transmitted in the context of Google Analytics by your browser is not merged with other data provided by Google. Google Analytics uses technologies such as cookies, web storage in the browser and tracking pixels, which enable an analysis of your use of the website. The data generated this way about your use of this website is usually transmitted to a Google server in the US and stored there. There is no EU Commission adequacy decision for the US. The data transfer is carried out, inter alia, on the basis of standard contractual clauses as appropriate guarantees for the protection of personal data, viewable at: https://policies.google.com/privacy/frameworks and https://business.safety.google/adsprocessorterms/. Both Google and U.S. government agencies have access to your data. Your information may be linked by Google to other information, such as your search history, your personal accounts, your usage data from other devices, and any other information Google may have about you. IP anonymization function is activated on this website. This means that your IP address is shortened beforehand by Google within European Union Member States or in other states that are 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 US and shortened there. The use of cookies or comparable technologies takes place with your consent on the basis of Section 25 para. 1 sentence 1 of the Telecommunications Telemedia Data Protection Act (TTDSG) in conjunction with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. The processing of your personal data is carried out with your consent on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. You can withdraw your consent at any time without the withdrawal of the consent affecting the lawfulness of the processing that was based on your consent before its withdrawal.

Recipients of data

Within the Electi AG company, your data will be accessed by persons who require this data in order to fulfill our contractual and legal obligations. Service providers and vicarious agents (e.g., partners, technical service providers, shippers, disposal companies) employed by us may also receive data for these purposes. We limit the transfer of your personal data to what is necessary, taking into account the requirements of data protection law. In some cases, the recipients of your personal data are processors, and the scope of processing when handling your personal data is then strictly limited by our instructions. In some cases, the recipients act independently subject to their own data protection responsibilities and they are also obligated to comply with the requirements of the GDPR and other data protection regulations.
We may also transfer personal data to our consultants in legal or tax matters, whereby these recipients are obligated to maintain special confidentiality and secrecy due to their professional status.

VI
Duration of data storage

We initially process and store your personal data for the duration for which the respective purpose of use requires corresponding storage (cf. above for individual processing purposes). This may also include the periods during which a contract is initiated (pre-contractual legal relationship) and during which a contract is processed. On this basis, personal data is regularly deleted as part of the fulfillment of our contractual and/or legal obligations, unless its temporary further processing is necessary for the following purposes:

Preservation of evidence in compliance with the statute of limitations

VII
Data security

Personal data is protected by us by means of suitable technical and organizational measures in order to ensure an appropriate level of protection and to safeguard the personal rights of the persons concerned. The measures taken are used, inter alia, to prevent unauthorized access to the technical equipment used by us and to protect personal data from unauthorized knowledge of it by third parties. In particular, this website uses SSL or TLS encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as your contact requests that you send to us as the site operator. You will be able to recognize an encrypted connection when the address line of the browser changes from "http://" to "https://" and by the lock symbol in the address line of your browser. If SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties. Nevertheless, we would like to point out that data transmission on the internet (e.g. when communicating by email) may be vulnerable to security gaps. Complete protection of data against access by third parties is therefore not possible.
