Data protection

The body named in the imprint is responsible for the data processing described below.

Usage data for statistical purposes

When you visit our websites, so-called usage data is temporarily evaluated on our web server as a protocol for statistical purposes in order to improve the quality of our websites. This data set consists of

the name and address of the requested content,
the date and time of the query,
the amount of data transferred,
the access status (content transferred, content not found),
the description of the web browser and operating system used,
the referral link that indicates which page you came to ours from,
the IP address of the requesting computer, which is shortened so that a personal reference can no longer be established.

The protocol data mentioned is only evaluated anonymously.

Data security

In order to protect your data as comprehensively as possible against unwanted access, we take technical and organizational measures.

We use an encryption process on our websites. Your information is transferred from your computer to our server and vice versa via the Internet using TLS encryption. You can usually tell this by the fact that the lock symbol in the status bar of your browser is closed and the address line begins with https://.

Required cookies

We use cookies on our websites that are required to use our websites.

Cookies are small text files that can be stored on your device and read. A distinction is made between session cookies, which are deleted as soon as you close your browser, and permanent cookies, which are stored beyond the individual session.

We do not use these required cookies for analysis, tracking or advertising purposes.

These cookies only contain information about certain settings and are not personally identifiable. They may also be necessary to enable user guidance, security and implementation of the site.

You can set your browser to inform you about the placement of cookies. This makes the use of cookies transparent for you. You can also delete cookies at any time using the corresponding browser settings and prevent new cookies from being placed. Please note that our websites may then not be displayed and some functions may no longer be technically available.

Google Analytics and Microsoft Dynamics Marketing

We use the web analysis tools "Google Analytics" and "Microsoft Dynamics" to design our websites to meet your needs. The web analysis tools create usage profiles based on pseudonyms. For this purpose, permanent and session cookies are stored on your device and read by us. In this way, we are able to recognize returning visitors and count them as such.

If you use the form for consultation inquiries or newsletter orders on our website, the pseudonymously collected data will be merged with your user profile in our CRM system.

The data processing is carried out on the basis of your consent in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 Clause 1 Letter a of GDPR, provided that you have given your consent via our cookie banner.

You can revoke your consent at any time. Please follow this link to view the cookies currently used and adjust your cookie settings.

We are supported by Google and Microsoft as part of the web analysis tools. Both providers are contractually obliged to us as data processors in accordance with Art. 28 GDPR. Data processing can also take place outside the EU or the EEA. An appropriate level of data protection in accordance with Art. 44 ff. GDPR is guaranteed through certification in the EU-US Privacy Shield and the conclusion of EU standard contractual clauses.

Contact form for offer information

If you would like to receive further information about our service offers, you can fill out our contact form. To use our contact form, we first need the information marked as mandatory. You can also decide for yourself whether you want to provide us with further information. This information is voluntary and is not mandatory.

We process your data for advertising purposes on the basis of your consent in accordance with Art. 6 Paragraph 1 Clause 1 Letter a of GDPR. You can revoke your consent at any time. Simply send us an email to info@otbdigital.de.

If you revoke your consent, we will delete your data immediately. Otherwise, we will store your data for up to one year since the last point of contact with you.

Google Maps map service

On our websites we embed the Google Maps map service, which is not stored on our servers. To ensure that accessing our websites with embedded map services does not automatically result in third-party content being reloaded, we first only display locally stored preview images of the maps. This means that the third-party provider does not receive any information.

Only after you click on the preview image are third-party content reloaded. This means that the third-party provider receives the information that you have accessed our site and the usage data technically required in this context. We have no influence on the further data processing by the third-party provider. By clicking on the preview image you give us your consent to reload third-party content.

The embedding is based on your consent in accordance with Art. 6 Paragraph 1 Clause 1 Letter a of GDPR, provided that you have previously given your consent by clicking on the preview image. We have concluded a contract with Google for order processing. For the transmission of data to the USA, Google guarantees an appropriate level of data protection by participating in the EU-US Privacy Shield.

Integration of Google Webfonts

We use Google's web fonts to display our websites.

When you visit our pages, web fonts are loaded from Google LLC, which provides these functions and content. This gives Google the information that you have accessed our page and the usage data technically required in this context.

We have no influence on the further data processing by the third-party provider.

The embedding is based on Art. 6 Para. 1 Clause 1 Letter f of GDPR and in the interest of making our page as appealing and informative as possible. For the transmission of data to the USA, Google guarantees an appropriate level of data protection by participating in the EU-US Privacy Shield.

Storage period

Unless we have already informed you in detail about the storage period, we delete personal data when it is no longer required for the aforementioned processing purposes and there are no statutory retention periods that prevent deletion.

Other processors

As part of order processing in accordance with Art. 28 GDPR, we pass on your data to service providers who support us in operating our websites and the associated processes. These include hosting service providers. Our service providers are strictly bound to our instructions and are contractually obliged accordingly.

Below we will name the processors with whom we work, unless we have already done so in the above text of the data protection declaration. If data is transferred outside the EU or the EEA in this context, we will provide information on the appropriate level of data protection.
