This saves you time and makes using our website more convenient for you.<\/p>\n

2.6 Google Analytics
\nThis website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (hereinafter referred to as \u201cGoogle\u201d). Google Analytics uses cookies (see above) to help the website analyze how users use the site. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website will generally be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States.<\/p>\n
However, because IP anonymization is enabled on our website, Google will previously truncate your IP address within member states of the European Union or other states party to the European Economic Area Agreement. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address 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 relating to website activity and internet usage to the website operator. We also use the \u201cdemographic features\u201d function of Google Analytics. This allows reports to be created that contain statements about the age, gender and interests of the site visitors. This data comes from interest-related advertising by Google and from visitor data from third parties. This data cannot be assigned to a specific person. You can deactivate this function at any time via the ad settings in your Google Account or generally prohibit the collection of your data by Google Analytics as described under \u201cObjection to data collection\u201d.<\/p>\n
Google has carried out the certification according to the current EU-US Privacy Shield (see https:\/\/www.privacyshield.gov\/participant?id=a2zt000000001L5AAI) and thus created the legal prerequisites for the adequacy of the data protection level also for the provision of the service Google Analytics by way of order processing.

We do not receive any information with which users can be personally identified. If you do not wish to participate in tracking, you can object to this use by easily deactivating the Google Conversion Tracking cookie in your Internet browser under User Settings or by deactivating it using the aforementioned plug-ins or settings.<\/p>\n

Basis for the data processing is Art. 6 Para. 2 GDPR, \u00a7 26 Para. 1 BDSG (new) which permits the processing of data for the decision on the establishment, for the establishment as well as for the implementation of employment relationships.<\/p>\n

2.17 Credit assessment
\nOur company regularly checks the creditworthiness when concluding contracts and in certain cases of existing customers if there is a legitimate interest, in order to protect us against the occurrence of payment defaults.<\/p>\n
For this purpose, we cooperate with Verband der Vereine Creditreform e.V. (hereinafter referred to as \u201cCreditreform\u201d), Hellersbergstra\u00dfe 11, 41460 Neuss, Germany, and IHD Gesellschaft f\u00fcr Kredit und Forderungsmanagement mbH (hereinafter referred to as \u201cIHD\u201d), Augustinusstr. 11 B, 50226 Frechen, Germany, from which we receive the necessary data. For this purpose, we may provide names and contact information to one of the above credit rating service providers. The information according to Art. 14 GDPR on data processing at Creditreform can be found at https:\/\/en.creditreform.de\/eu-gdpr.html. Within the scope of our cooperation with the IHD, we also use automatically generated probability values for the purpose of deciding on the establishment, execution or termination of the contractual relationship, the calculation of which may include address data, among other things. The information according to art. 14 GDPR to the data processing taking place with the IHD is provided at www.ihd.de\/datenschutz\/Artikel14.html. You can find information about their contractual partners in the field of credit agencies at: www.ihd.de\/datenschutz#vertragspartner.<\/p>\n
We can decide whether to reject a customer\u2019s order as part of the credit check by using an automated process. For example, when a negative credit report is transmitted by a credit agency, the desired order can be rejected automatically. This occurs in particular if the information indicates that the customer has insufficient creditworthiness to meet its payment obligations. You may exercise the right to ask us to manually review the automated decision.<\/p>\n
The processing of your data in this context takes place on the legal basis in Art 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR or the legal basis in Art 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR, which allows the processing of data to safeguard the legitimate interests of the responsible person, provided that the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the person concerned do not prevail.<\/p>\n

When the outstanding claims are sold, the latter then becomes the holder of the claim and asserts the claim in his own name. We work together with the following collection agencies: Verband der Vereine Creditreform e.V., Hellersbergstra\u00dfe 12, 41460 Neuss and IHD Gesellschaft f\u00fcr Kredit- und Forderungsmanagement mbH, Augustinusstra\u00dfe 11b, 50226 Frechen.

The processing of the data takes place on the legal basis in Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b and Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR. Transmissions on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR may take place insofar as this is necessary to safeguard the legitimate interests of our company and does not outweigh the interests of the person concerned, which require the protection of personal data.<\/p>\n
