As the operator of this website and as a company, we come into contact with your personal data. This concerns all data that reveals something about you and by which you can be identified. In this privacy policy, we would like to explain how, for what purpose and on which legal basis we process your data.
Responsible for the data processing (“data controller”) on this website and in our company is:
INDEC GmbH & Co. KG
Dr.-Arnold-Hueck-Straße 2
59557 Lippstadt
Phone: +49 (0) 2941 27 29 0
E-mail: info@indec-group.com
In some parts in this privacy policy, we inform you about how long we or the companies that process your data on our behalf will store your data. In the absence of such information, we store your data until the purpose of the data processing no longer applies, you object to the data processing or you revoke your consent to the data processing.
In the event of an objection or revocation, we may however continue to process your data if at least one of the following conditions applies:
In this case, we will delete your data as soon as the requirement(s) cease to apply.
On our website, we use tools from companies that transfer your data to the USA and store it there and, if necessary, process it further. The European Commission has adopted an adequacy decision for the EU-US data protection framework. The decision establishes that the US ensures an adequate level of protection for EU personal data transferred to US companies. This decision is based on new safeguards and measures put in place by the US to meet data protection requirements. The adequacy decision includes, among other things, restrictions and safeguards on access to data by US intelligence agencies. Binding safeguards were introduced to limit US intelligence agencies' access to what is necessary and proportionate to protect national security. In addition, enhanced oversight of US intelligence activities was established to ensure that restrictions on surveillance activities are respected. An independent redress mechanism has also been established to handle and resolve complaints from European citizens about access to their data. The EU-US data protection framework thus allows European companies to transfer data to certified US companies without having to introduce additional data protection safeguards. A list of all certified companies can be found at the following link: https://www.dataprivacyframework.gov/s/participant-search.
A change in the European Commission's decision cannot be ruled out.
IF IT'S STATED IN THIS PRIVACY STATEMENT THAT WE HAVE LEGITIMATE INTERESTS FOR THE PROCESSING OF YOUR DATA AND THAT THIS PROCESSING IS THEREFORE BASED ON ART. 6 PARA. 1 SENTENCE 1 LIT. F) GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT IN ACCORDANCE WITH ART. 21 GDPR. THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING THAT IS CARRIED OUT ON THE BASIS OF THE AFOREMENTIONED PROVISION. THE PREREQUISITE IS THAT YOU STATE REASONS FOR THE OBJECTION THAT ARISE FROM YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION. NO REASONS ARE REQUIRED IF THE OBJECTION IS DIRECTED AGAINST THE USE OF YOUR DATA FOR DIRECT ADVERTISING.
THE CONSEQUENCE OF THE OBJECTION IS THAT WE MAY NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR DATA. THIS ONLY DOES NOT APPLY IF ONE OF THE FOLLOWING PREREQUISITS EXISTS:
THESE EXCEPTIONS DO NOT APPLY IF YOUR OBJECTION IS DIRECTED AGAINST THE USE OF YOUR DATA FOR DIRECT ADVERTISING OR TO PROFILING RELATED TO IT.
Many data processing operations are based on your consent. You can give this consent, for example, by ticking the appropriate box on online forms before you send the form, or by allowing the operation of certain cookies when you visit our website. You may revoke your consent at any time without giving reasons (Art. 7 (3) GDPR). From the time of revocation, we may then no longer process your data. The only exception: we are required by law to retain the data for a certain period of time. Such retention periods exist in particular in tax and commercial law.
If you believe that we are in breach of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), you have the right to complain to a supervisory authority in accordance with Art. 77 GDPR. You may contact a supervisory authority in the Member State of your residence, place of work or the place where the alleged infringement took place. The right to complain exists alongside administrative or judicial remedies.
We must hand over data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfillment of a contract to you or a third party in a common machine-readable format if you request this. We can only transfer the data to another “data controller” if this is technically possible.
According to Art. 15 GDPR, you have the right to receive information free of charge about which of your personal data we have stored, where the data came from, to whom we transmit the data and for what purpose it is stored. If the data is incorrect, you have a right to rectification (Art. 16 GDPR), and under the conditions of Art. 17 GDPR you may demand that we delete the data.
In certain situations, according to Art. 18 GDPR, you may demand that we restrict the processing of your data. The data may then - apart from storage - only be processed as follows:
The right to restrict processing exists in the following situations:
Our website is hosted on a server of the following Internet service provider (hoster):
Hetzner Online GmbH
Industriestr. 25
91710 Gunzenhausen, Germany
Yes
The hoster stores all the data from our website. This includes all personal data that is collected automatically or through entering. This can be in particular: Your IP address, pages accessed, names, contact details and requests, as well as meta and communication data. When processing data, our hoster adheres to our instructions and always processes the data only insofar as this is necessary to fulfill the service obligation to us.
Since we address potential customers via our website and maintain contacts with existing customers, the data processing by our hoster serves to initiate and fulfill contracts and is therefore based on Art. 6 (1) lit. b) GDPR. In addition, it is our legitimate interest as a company to provide a professional Internet offering that meets the necessary requirements for security, speed and efficiency. In this respect, we also process your data on the legal basis of Art. 6 (1) lit. f) GDPR.
Our website places cookies on your device. These are small text files that are used for various purposes. Some cookies are technically necessary for the website to function at all (necessary cookies). Others are needed to perform certain actions or functions on the site (functional cookies). For example, without cookies it would not be possible to take advantage of a shopping cart in an online store. Still other cookies are used to analyze user behavior or to optimize advertising measures. If we use third-party services on our website, for example to process payment transactions, these companies may also leave cookies on your device when you access the website (so-called third-party cookies).
Session cookies are only stored on your device for the duration of a session. As soon as you close the browser, they therefore disappear by themselves. Permanent cookies, on the other hand, remain on your device unless you delete them yourself. This can, for example, lead to your user behavior being permanently analyzed. You can use the settings in your browser to influence how it handles cookies:
If you disable or do not allow cookies, the functionality of the website may be limited.
If we use cookies from other companies or for analysis purposes, we will inform you about this as part of this privacy policy. We also request your consent in this regard when you access our website.
We have a legitimate interest in ensuring that our online offers can be used by visitors without technical problems and that all desired functions are available to them. The storage of necessary and functional cookies on your device therefore takes place on the legal basis of Art. 6 (1) lit. f) GDPR. We use all other cookies on the legal basis of Art. 6 (1) lit. a) GDPR, provided you give us your consent. You can revoke this at any time with effect for the future. If you have consented to the placement of necessary and functional cookies when requesting consent, these cookies will also be stored exclusively on the basis of your consent.
Consent management platform (CMP) for obtaining and processing GDPR-compliant consent.
Legalcore AG, Reinhardtstr. 7, 10117 Berlin, Germany
Yes
https://cockpit.legal/datenschutz/
We use Legal Cockpit's consent management platform to obtain your consent to store cookies on your device in a data protection compliant manner. When you visit our website and close the Legal Cockpit cookie window requesting consent, the following data is transmitted to the company:
In addition, the Legal Cockpit stores a cookie in your browser in order to be able to assign the consent given or its revocation to your browser. All collected data is stored until the cookies are no longer needed, you delete the Legal Cockpit cookie or request us to delete the data. This does not apply only if we are required by law to retain the data.
We are legally obliged to obtain the consent of our website visitors for the use of certain cookies. In order to fulfill this obligation, we use Legal Cockpit. The legal basis for data processing is therefore Art. 6 (1) lit. c) GDPR.
Server log files log all requests and accesses to our website and record error messages. They also include personal data, in particular your IP address. However, this is anonymized by the provider after a short time, so that we cannot assign the data to your person. The data is automatically transmitted to our provider by your browser.
Our provider stores the server log files in order to be able to track the activities on our website and to locate errors. The files contain the following data:
We do not combine this data with other data but use it only for statistical analysis and to improve our website.
We have a legitimate interest in ensuring that our website runs without errors. It is also our legitimate interest to obtain an anonymized overview of the accesses to our website. Therefore, the data processing is lawful according to Art. 6 (1) lit. f) GDPR.
Form tool for the collection of customer inquiries and other data.
Jotform Inc, 111 Pine St. Suite, 1815 San Francisco, California 94111, USA
https://www.jotform.com/gdpr-compliance/dpa/
Using Jotform, online forms can be created and embedded on our website. The data you enter will be stored on Jotform's servers until you request us to delete it, revoke any consent you have given to store it, or until the purpose for storing the data no longer applies. Mandatory legal provisions remain unaffected. The data transfer to the USA is based on the adequacy decision of the European Commission and the corresponding certification of the company.On what legal basis do we process your data?
We have a legitimate interest in functioning customer forms. The basis for data processing is therefore Art. 6 (1) lit. f) GDPR. If you have consented to data processing, we process your data exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 (1) lit. a) GDPR. You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future.
We use the following tools to analyze the behavior of our website visitors and show you advertisements.
Tag management system for the integration of tracking codes and conversion pixels of Google Ireland. Ltd.
Google Ireland Ltd., Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland
https://policies.google.com/privacy
On the basis of the European Commission's adequacy decision and the company's corresponding certification.
We use the Google Tag Manager. The tool helps us to integrate tracking codes and conversion pixels into our website, manage them and play them out. Google Tag Manager does not create user profiles itself, does not place cookies on your device, and does not analyze your behavior as a user. It does, however, record your IP address and transmit it to Google servers in the USA.
We have a legitimate interest in a quick and uncomplicated integration and management of various tools on our website. The use of Google Tag Manager is therefore lawful according to Art. 6 (1) lit. f) GDPR. If you have consented to the transfer of your IP address, we process your data exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 (1) lit. a) GDPR. You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future.

Among other things, with a browser plugin: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en
We are always interested in optimizing our web offer for visitors to our website and placing advertisements in the best possible way. We are helped in this by Google Analytics, a tool that analyzes the behavior of users and thus provides us with the necessary database for adjustments. Through the tool, we receive information about the origin of our visitors, their page views and the time they spend on the pages, as well as the operating system they use.
To collect the data, Google Analytics uses cookies, device fingerprinting or other user recognition technologies. The data is transmitted to Google servers in the USA and, with the help of the IP address that is also collected, summarized in a profile that can be assigned to you or your device.
You can prevent Google from processing your data by installing a browser plugin that Google itself provides: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de.
We have activated the "IP anonymization" function within Google Analytics. For you, this means that Google truncates your IP address (from the EU or EEA) before transmitting it to the USA. Only in exceptional cases does Google transmit the full IP address to servers in the USA and only shorten it there.
We use the "demographic characteristics" function of Google Analytics to display suitable advertisements to visitors to our website within the Google advertising network. As a result, reports may be generated that include statements about the age, gender, and interests of our site visitors. This data comes from interest-based advertising from Google as well as visitor data from third parties. It is not possible to assign the collected data to specific individuals.
You can deactivate the function in the settings of your Google account.
According to its own information, Google deletes or anonymizes data stored at user and event level that is linked to cookies, user identifiers (e.g. user IDs) or advertising IDs after 14 months (cf. https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/7667196?hl=de).
As a website operator, we have a legitimate interest in analyzing user behavior for the purpose of optimizing our website and the advertising placed there. The data processing is therefore lawful according to Art. 6 (1) lit. f) GDPR. In the event that you have consented, for example, to the storage of cookies or have otherwise consented to data processing by Google Analytics, only Art. 6 (1) lit. a) GDPR is the legal basis. You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future.
We use fonts from the US company Google on our website. We have installed the fonts locally, so there is no connection to Google's servers when you visit our website.
For more information about Google Fonts, please visit https://developers.google.com/fonts/faq and read Google's privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de.
