Privacy Policy

We, Algeco GmbH (hereinafter referred to as the “Company”, “we” or “us”), thank you for visiting our website and for your interest in our company and services. Your personal data is processed solely in accordance with German and European data protection law.

Data protection law requires us, as the controller responsible for data processing, to safeguard your personal data through a range of measures. One of these obligations is to provide you with transparent information about the nature, scope, purpose, duration and legal basis of the processing (see Articles 13 and 14 GDPR). In the following, we may also refer to you, as the person affected by the processing, as the “customer”, “user”, “you” or “data subject”. This Privacy Policy explains how we process your personal data.

Our Privacy Policy has a modular structure. It consists of a general section covering all processing of personal data and the relevant processing situations, and a specific section whose content applies only to the processing situation described there. We may also use this online document to inform you about processing activities that do not primarily take place on the website. These can be found in the specific section of this document. To navigate the document quickly, many browsers provide a search function using the keyboard shortcut “Ctrl+F”.

Definitions

“Personal data” (Article 4(1) GDPR) means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (“data subject”). A person is identifiable if they can be identified directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, identification number, online identifier, location data, or information concerning their physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity. Identifiability may also result from combining such information with other additional knowledge. The manner in which the information was created, its form or the medium in which it is embodied is irrelevant; photographs, video recordings and audio recordings may also contain personal data.

“Processing” (Article 4(2) GDPR) means any operation performed on personal data, whether or not by automated means. This includes, in particular, collecting or obtaining, recording, organising, structuring, storing, adapting or altering, retrieving, consulting, using, disclosing by transmission, disseminating or otherwise making available, aligning, combining, restricting, erasing or destroying personal data, as well as changing the objective or purpose originally underlying the processing.

“Controller” (Article 4(7) GDPR) means the natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body that, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of processing personal data.

“Third party” (Article 4(10) GDPR) means any natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body other than the data subject, controller, processor and persons who, under the direct authority of the controller or processor, are authorised to process personal data.

“Processor” (Article 4(8) GDPR) means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body that processes personal data on behalf of the controller, particularly in accordance with the controller’s instructions, such as an IT service provider. For data protection purposes, a processor is not considered a third party.

“Consent” of the data subject (Article 4(11) GDPR) means any freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous indication of the data subject’s wishes, given by a statement or other clear affirmative action, by which the data subject signifies agreement to the processing of personal data relating to them.

Name and Address of the Controller

The controller responsible for processing your personal data within the meaning of Article 4(7) GDPR, together with our contact details and further information about our company, can be found in the Legal Notice on our website.

Contact Details of the Data Protection Team and Data Protection Officer

Our Data Protection Team, consisting of our data protection coordinators and Data Protection Officer, is available at any time to answer questions and act as your point of contact for all data protection matters.

You can contact the Data Protection Team:

  • By post at the address stated in our Legal Notice, adding “Data Protection Team”
  • By email at datenschutz@algeco.com

If, as a data subject, you would like your identity to be known only to the Data Protection Officer and not to the controller, please contact the email address above using an email address that does not reveal your identity. The Data Protection Officer will then offer you an appropriate communication channel.

Your Rights

You may exercise your rights as a data subject in relation to your personal data at any time using the contact details provided at the beginning of this document. You can help us process your request more efficiently by contacting the Data Protection Team directly.

As a data subject, you have the right:
  • under Article 15 GDPR, to request access to the personal data we process about you. In particular, you may request information about the purposes of processing, the categories of personal data, the categories of recipients to whom your data has been or will be disclosed, the envisaged retention period, the existence of a right to rectification, erasure, restriction of processing or objection, the right to lodge a complaint, the source of your data where it was not collected from you, and the existence of automated decision-making, including profiling, together with meaningful information about the details involved, where applicable;
  • nder Article 16 GDPR, to request without undue delay the rectification of inaccurate data or completion of incomplete data stored by us;
  • under Article 17 GDPR, to request the erasure of personal data stored by us, unless processing is necessary for exercising the right to freedom of expression and information, compliance with a legal obligation, reasons of public interest, or the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims;
  • under Article 18 GDPR, to request restriction of the processing of your data where you contest its accuracy or the processing is unlawful;
  • under Article 20 GDPR, to receive the data you have provided to us in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format, or to request its transmission to another controller (“data portability”);
  • under Article 21 GDPR, to object to processing based on Article 6(1)(e) or (f) GDPR. This applies in particular where processing is not necessary for the performance of a contract with you. Unless your objection relates to direct marketing, we ask you to explain the reasons why your data should not be processed as described. If your objection is justified, we will review the circumstances and either discontinue or modify the processing, or demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for continuing it. For many services on our websites that process personal data on the basis of Article 6(1)(f) GDPR, an objection can be implemented technically using browser technologies that are already available or can be installed, for example by blocking JavaScript or cookies;
  • under Article 7(3) GDPR, to withdraw at any time any consent you have given, including consent given before the GDPR became applicable on 25 May 2018. Consent means your freely given, informed and unambiguous indication, by statement or other clear affirmative action, that you agree to the processing of the relevant personal data for one or more specific purposes. Withdrawal means that we may no longer continue the consent-based processing in the future; and
  • under Article 77 GDPR, to lodge a complaint with the data protection supervisory authority responsible for us concerning the processing of your personal data by our company.
Legal Bases for Processing

As a general rule, the processing of personal data is permitted by law only if it is covered by one of the following legal bases:

icle 6(1)(a) GDPR (“consent”): where the data subject has freely given a specific, informed and unambiguous indication, by statement or other clear affirmative action, that they agree to the processing of personal data relating to them for one or more specific purposes;
Article 6(1)(b) GDPR (“contract”): where processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party, or in order to take steps at the data subject’s request prior to entering into a contract;
Article 6(1)(c) GDPR (“legal obligation”): where processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which the controller is subject, such as a statutory retention requirement;
Article 6(1)(d) GDPR: where processing is necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person;
Article 6(1)(e) GDPR: where processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller; or
Article 6(1)(f) GDPR (“legitimate interests”): where processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate, particularly legal or economic, interests pursued by the controller or a third party, except where those interests are overridden by the interests or rights of the data subject, particularly where the data subject is a child. Where the processing of personal data is based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR, the stated purposes also constitute our legitimate interests.

For each processing activity we carry out, we specify below the applicable legal basis. Processing may also be based on more than one legal basis.

Data Erasure and Retention Periods

For each processing activity we carry out, we specify below how long the data is stored and when it is erased or blocked. Where processing is based on consent, the erasure and retention period stated when consent is requested applies. Unless an explicit retention period is stated below, your personal data will be erased or blocked as soon as the purpose of, or legal basis for, storage no longer applies. As a general rule, your data is stored only in Germany, another Member State of the European Union (EU), or another state party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area (EEA). Any exceptions are explained in the following sections and processing descriptions. Data may, however, be retained beyond the stated period in the event of pending or anticipated legal proceedings involving you, other legal proceedings, or where retention is required by statutory provisions applicable to us as controller, such as Section 257 of the German Commercial Code (HGB) or Section 147 of the German Fiscal Code (AO). Once the statutory retention period expires, the personal data will be blocked or erased unless further storage is necessary and a legal basis exists for doing so.

Data Security: Website, Email and Fax

We use technical and organisational security measures to protect your data against accidental or deliberate manipulation, partial or complete loss, destruction and unauthorised access by third parties, including TLS encryption for our website. In doing so, we take account of the state of the art, implementation costs, the nature, scope, context and purposes of processing, and the risks to the data subject, including their likelihood and severity. Our security measures are continuously improved in line with technological developments.

For secure data transmission over the internet, we use the hybrid encryption protocol Transport Layer Security (TLS), widely known by the name of its predecessor, Secure Sockets Layer (SSL). This technology encrypts the information you transmit. All information relevant to data protection is stored in encrypted form in a protected database.

Please note that the confidentiality of email cannot be guaranteed. Although our mail servers provide transport encryption using TLS, confidentiality may depend on various mail relay servers over which we have no control. We cannot influence whether these servers also use TLS or analyse the emails.

If you send us a fax, it is transmitted via the internet using Fax over IP (FoIP). Technically, this transmission is the same as sending an email or website data. We do not know whether an IP-based service encrypts the data; the confidentiality of the transmitted data therefore cannot be guaranteed. We recommend that you do not send sensitive data by fax.

We will be pleased to provide further information on request. Please contact our Data Protection Team.

Cooperation with Processors

Like any larger company, we use external service providers to conduct our business, for example in IT, logistics and telecommunications, including parcel delivery, sending letters or emails, database analysis, advertising, payment processing, sales and marketing. These service providers have access to the personal data required to perform their tasks, but may not use it for other purposes. Processors act solely on our instructions and are contractually obliged under Article 28 GDPR to comply with data protection requirements. Processors are not third parties.

Requirements for Transferring Personal Data to Third Countries

In the course of our business relationships, it may be necessary to transfer or disclose personal data to companies or service providers outside the European Economic Area (EEA), i.e. in third countries. Such transfers are made solely to fulfil contractual obligations, take steps prior to entering into a contract, or on the basis of our legitimate interests in efficient business operations. The relevant recipients and purposes of each transfer are specified elsewhere in this Privacy Policy, together with the location of the respective service provider.

The European Commission has adopted adequacy decisions for certain third countries under Article 45 GDPR. These decisions confirm a level of data protection comparable to that within the EEA. Adequacy decisions currently exist, among others, for Andorra, Argentina, Canada (limited to organisations subject to Canadian data protection legislation), the Faroe Islands, Guernsey, Israel, the Isle of Man, Japan, Jersey, New Zealand, Switzerland, South Korea, Uruguay and the United Kingdom (as at July 2025). The European Commission publishes the current list at: https://commission.europa.eu/law/law-topic/data-protection/international-dimension-data-protection/adequacy-decisions_en

Other third countries to which personal data may be transferred may not consistently provide a high level of data protection due to the absence of corresponding legal provisions. Where this is the case, we ensure that adequate safeguards are in place. These may include binding corporate rules, the European Commission’s standard contractual clauses for the protection of personal data, certifications or approved codes of conduct.

Automated Decision-Making

We do not intend to use personal data collected from you for automated decision-making, including profiling.

Requirement to Provide Personal Data

We do not make entering into a contract with us conditional on your prior provision of personal data. As a customer, you are generally under no statutory or contractual obligation to provide us with your personal data. However, we may be able to provide certain services only to a limited extent, or not at all, if you do not provide the data required for them. If this applies exceptionally to any product or processing activity described below, you will be informed separately.

Legal Obligation to Disclose Certain Data

In certain circumstances, we may be subject to a specific statutory or legal obligation to provide lawfully processed personal data to third parties, particularly public authorities (Article 6(1)(c) GDPR).

Amendments to this Privacy Policy

As data protection law evolves and technological or organisational changes occur, this document is reviewed regularly to determine whether amendments or additions are required. We reserve the right to amend this Privacy Policy at any time with future effect in compliance with applicable data protection law. Any amendments will be published here. Current version: 4 August 2025

Information on the Processing of Personal Data in Specific Processing Activities

The following sections describe processing activities grouped according to different categories of persons whose data is processed (“data subjects”).

Website Visitors

Information about our company and the services we offer is available in particular at www.algeco.com and its associated pages, hereinafter collectively referred to as the “websites”. When you visit our websites, your personal data is processed.

Your data will be processed only for as long as is necessary to achieve the processing purposes stated above; the legal bases specified for those purposes apply accordingly. Third parties engaged by us will store your data on their systems for as long as is necessary to provide the services commissioned by us.

The following categories of recipients, which are generally processors, may receive access to your personal data:

Service providers that operate our website and process data stored or transmitted by the systems, for example data centre, payment processing and IT security providers. Where they are not processors, the legal basis for disclosure is Article 6(1)(b) or (f) GDPR;

Public bodies and authorities, where disclosure is necessary to comply with a legal obligation. The legal basis is Article 6(1)(c) GDPR;

Persons engaged in the conduct of our business, such as auditors, banks, insurers, legal advisers, supervisory authorities and parties involved in corporate acquisitions or the formation of joint ventures. The legal basis for disclosure is Article 6(1)(b) or (f) GDPR.

We otherwise disclose your personal data to third parties only where you have given your explicit consent under Article 6(1)(a) GDPR.

Personal Data Processed on the Website / Log Data
When you use the websites for information purposes, we collect, store and further process the following categories of personal data. When you visit our websites, a server log record is stored temporarily and in anonymised form on our web server. This consists in particular of:
  • the page from which the requested page was accessed (referrer URL)
  • the name and URL of the requested page
  • the date and time of access
  • the type, language and version of the web browser used
  • the IP address of the requesting device
  • the volume of data transferred
  • the operating system
  • whether the request was successful (access status / HTTP status code)
  • the time-zone difference from GMT

Log data is processed for statistical purposes and to improve the quality of our website, particularly the stability and security of the connection. The legal basis is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR.

We may briefly process additional information made available to our web servers by your operating system, browser and/or other technologies in order to provide the websites. The legal basis for this processing is also Article 6(1)(f) GDPR.

Services that Store Information on Your Device or Access Information Already Stored on Your Device
(Cookies, Plugins, JavaScript, etc.)

On our websites, we use services and technologies that store information on your device and/or access information already stored on it. These technologies may include cookies. Cookies are text files and/or entries in the browser’s own database that assign the browser you use by means of a distinctive character string. Certain information is exchanged between the party that places the cookie and your device.

Cookies and other services may contain data that enables the device used to be recognised. In some cases, cookies and other technologies contain only information about particular settings that cannot be linked to an individual.

You may refuse or technically block certain services where your browser permits this. Please note, however, that you may then be unable to use all functions of our website in full.

The help function in the menu bar of most web browsers explains, for example, how to prevent your browser from accepting new cookies, how to receive a notification when a new cookie is set, and how to delete all cookies already received. You can also configure your browser so that specific technologies required by the services, such as JavaScript, are not executed. Where services on our websites process personal data on the basis of Article 6(1)(f) GDPR, an objection may therefore be implemented technically using these browser functions and technologies.

Services can also be distinguished according to their function:
Technical services: These are strictly necessary to navigate the website, use basic functions and ensure website security. They neither collect information about you for marketing purposes nor record which websites you have visited;
Performance services: These collect information about how you use our website, which pages you visit and, for example, whether errors occur. They do not collect information that could identify you; all information collected is anonymous and is used solely to improve our website and understand what interests our users;
Advertising, targeting and sharing services; social media plugins: These are used to show website users relevant advertising on the website or offers from third parties and to measure the effectiveness of those offers. They may also be used to improve interaction between our website and other services, such as social networks.
All services have in common that they store information on your device and/or access information already stored on it.

In contrast to the functional distinction between services, the law distinguishes only between two purposes:
  1. Services that are necessary to transmit a communication over a public telecommunications network and/or strictly necessary for the provider of a digital service to provide a service expressly requested by the user. Necessity may arise for technical, legal, economic or operational reasons and/or from contractual arrangements.
  2. Services used for all other purposes. The use of services that are strictly necessary for technical, legal, economic or operational reasons and/or under contractual arrangements to provide an expressly requested service may be based on a legal basis other than consent under Article 6(1)(a) GDPR.
General Website Services

We currently use the following services described above. Where processing is based on consent under Article 6(1)(a) GDPR, we also explain how consent is requested.

Service: Contact Form

When you use our contact form, we process the data you provide, such as title, first name, surname, address, company, email address, and the content and time of your enquiry. The data is processed in order to respond to your enquiry.
Certain fields, such as first name and surname, may be marked as mandatory because they are required to assign and respond to your enquiry appropriately.
Depending on the nature of your enquiry, processing is based on Article 6(1)(b) GDPR, for steps taken prior to entering into a contract, or Article 6(1)(f) GDPR, based on our legitimate interest in handling incoming enquiries efficiently.

Consent Management Tool / Consent Management Provider / “Cookie Banner”

We use services to request and manage consent for individual services.

DSE-1020100503 Service: Usercentrics – CMT

This website uses Usercentrics, a consent management tool. The service requests consent for the use of certain services on the website. Consent is obtained and documented in compliance with data protection law. The service provider is Usercentrics GmbH, Sendlinger Straße 7, 80331 Munich, Germany.

The service places a necessary cookie in which the following information is stored:
When you visit our website, the following personal data is transmitted to Usercentrics: consent or withdrawal of consent, IP address, information about the browser and device, and the time of the website visit. Usercentrics also stores a cookie so that consent and any withdrawal can be attributed correctly. The data collected in this way is stored until we are asked to erase it, the user deletes the Usercentrics cookie, or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies.
The data is processed in order to obtain consent required by law and, where applicable, on the basis of our legitimate interest in operating our website in a legally compliant and low-risk manner. The legal basis is Article 6(1)(c) and, where applicable, Article 6(1)(f) GDPR.

Service: Quantcast Choice

We use the Quantcast Choice consent management tool on our website. It is provided by Quantcast International Limited, Beaux Lane House, Lower Mercer Street, 1st Floor, Dublin 2, Ireland. Quantcast Choice enables us to obtain and manage visitors’ consent to the processing of their personal data or to the use of certain technologies on our website, such as cookies. The service processes information about visitors’ behaviour and their interactions with the consent banner. This includes the IP address, information about the device and browser used, pages visited on our website, and the date and time of the visit. This data is processed to document and implement users’ privacy choices, ensuring that only technologies for which explicit consent has been given are used. Personal data is processed on the basis of our overriding legitimate interest in designing and operating our website efficiently and economically in accordance with Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. For further information about Quantcast Choice and Quantcast’s processing of personal data, please see Quantcast’s Privacy Policy at https://www.quantcast.com/privacy/. It also contains further details about how the consent management tool works and the measures Quantcast takes to protect your data.

Google (and, Where Applicable, Alphabet) Services, Products and Technologies

This section brings together services offered by Alphabet Inc., a publicly listed US holding company, and in particular by Google, which forms part of that group. Use of these services may result in data being transferred to a third country, namely the United States. On 10 July 2023, the European Commission adopted an adequacy decision confirming an adequate level of protection for transfers to companies participating in the EU–US Data Privacy Framework. Transfers to the United States are also based on the European Commission’s standard contractual clauses. Further details are available at: https://policies.google.com/privacy/frameworks and https://privacy.google.com/businesses/controllerterms/mccs/

Service: Google Analytics

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service operated by Google Ireland Limited, company registration number 368047, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

Processing takes place only after you have given your consent under Article 6(1)(a) GDPR. Additional information about this potential processing is provided when consent is requested through the consent management tool.

Where consent has been given, the service enables analysis of your use of our websites and online services. Information about your use of these websites and online services is transmitted to and stored on Google servers in the United States. On 10 July 2023, the European Commission adopted an adequacy decision confirming an adequate level of protection for transfers to companies participating in the EU–US Data Privacy Framework. Transfers to the United States are also based on the European Commission’s standard contractual clauses. Google will use this information to evaluate your visit to the website, compile reports on website activity for us and provide other services relating to website and internet use. Google may also disclose this information to third parties where required by law or where those third parties process the data on Google’s behalf.

Service: Google AdSense

We use Google AdSense services on our websites, operated by Google Ireland Limited, company registration number 368047, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.
Processing takes place only after you have given your consent under Article 6(1)(a) GDPR. Additional information about this potential processing is provided when consent is requested through the consent management tool.
Where consent has been given, the service is used to display personalised advertisements on our websites. Information is transmitted to and stored on Google servers, including servers located in the United States. Google may pass this information on to its contractual partners.

Service: YouTube

We use services provided through YouTube, YouTube LLC, 901 Cherry Ave., San Bruno, CA 94066, USA. The provider forms part of the Google LLC group, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.
Processing takes place only after you have given your consent under Article 6(1)(a) GDPR. Additional information about this potential processing is provided when consent is requested through the consent management tool.
Where consent has been given and you visit one of our pages containing a YouTube plugin, a connection to YouTube’s servers is established. The YouTube server is informed which of our pages you have visited. If you are signed in to your YouTube account, YouTube can associate your browsing behaviour directly with your personal profile.

Service: Google Tag Manager

We use Google Tag Manager on our websites, operated by Google Ireland Limited, company registration number 368047, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. Processing takes place only after you have given your consent under Article 6(1)(a) GDPR. Additional information about this potential processing is provided when consent is requested through the consent management tool.
Where consent has been given, Google Tag Manager enables us to load JavaScript instructions and other services. Information is transmitted to and stored on Google servers, including servers located in the United States. Google may pass this information on to its contractual partners. Further information about Google Tag Manager is available at: https://www.google.com/analytics/terms/tag-manager/

Service: Google DoubleClick

We use Google’s DoubleClick online marketing tool on our websites. The service provider is Google Ireland Limited, company registration number 368047, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. Processing takes place only after you have given your consent under Article 6(1)(a) GDPR. Additional information about this potential processing is provided when consent is requested through the consent management tool.
Where consent has been given, DoubleClick places cookies to display advertisements that are relevant to visitors, improve campaign performance reports and prevent a visitor from seeing the same advertisement repeatedly. Using a cookie ID, Google records which advertisements are displayed in which browser and can therefore prevent them from being shown more than once. DoubleClick may also use cookie IDs to record conversions linked to advertisement requests. This may occur, for example, when a visitor sees a DoubleClick advertisement and later visits the advertiser’s website using the same browser and makes a purchase. According to Google, DoubleClick cookies do not contain personal information, although we are unable to verify this statement.

Service: Google Web Fonts / External Fonts

We use Google Web Fonts on our websites, operated by Google Ireland Limited, company registration number 368047, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. Processing takes place only after you have given your consent under Article 6(1)(a) GDPR. Additional information about this potential processing is provided when consent is requested through the consent management tool.
Where consent has been given, Google Web Fonts enables fonts to be displayed consistently. When you access a page, your browser loads the required web fonts into its cache so that text and fonts are displayed correctly. To do this, your browser must connect to Google’s servers. Google therefore becomes aware that our website has been accessed using your IP address.

Service: Google APIs

Our website incorporates application programming interfaces (APIs) from Google. The service provider is Google Ireland Limited, company registration number 368047, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. Processing takes place only after you have given your consent under Article 6(1)(a) GDPR. Additional information about this potential processing is provided when consent is requested through the consent management tool.
Where consent has been given, Google APIs can be used in particular to integrate JavaScript libraries quickly in order to enable or improve various functions of our website. Various data, particularly your IP address, is transmitted to Google in the process.

Service: Google Static / gstatic

We use Google Static on our website. The service provider is Google Ireland Ltd., Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. gstatic is a service used to deliver static content such as images, CSS and JavaScript. Its purpose is to improve network speed for users and reduce bandwidth usage, making browsing more efficient. Processing takes place only after you have given your consent under Article 6(1)(a) GDPR. Additional information about this potential processing is provided when consent is requested through the consent management tool. Use of the service may result in data being transferred to a third country, namely the United States. On 10 July 2023, the European Commission adopted an adequacy decision confirming an adequate level of protection for transfers to companies participating in the EU–US Data Privacy Framework. Transfers to the United States are also based on the European Commission’s standard contractual clauses. Further information is available in the provider’s privacy information at: https://policies.google.com/privacy

Service: Google Ads

We use Google Ads on our website. The service provider is Google Ireland Ltd., Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. Processing takes place only after you have given your consent under Article 6(1)(a) GDPR. Additional information about this potential processing is provided when consent is requested through the consent management tool.
Where consent has been given, Google Ads can be used to display advertisements in Google Search or on third-party websites when a user enters particular search terms on Google (keyword targeting). Targeted advertisements may also be displayed on the basis of user data held by Google, such as location data and interests (audience targeting). Website operators can analyse this data quantitatively by determining which search terms triggered advertisements and how many advertisements resulted in corresponding clicks.

Service: Google Play

We use Google Play, a service provided by Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (“Google”). Google Play is an online store that provides mobile apps, games, music, films and other digital content for Android devices. It enables users to download, purchase and update applications and digital media content. Use of Google Play involves the processing of certain data, including device information such as device ID, IP address, device type and operating system version. Information about downloaded apps, payments and in-app purchases may also be collected. The data is processed to provide apps and digital content, process payments, update applications and personalise offers.

The legal basis for processing is the performance of the contract for the use of Google Play under Article 6(1)(b) GDPR.
Use of the service may result in data being transferred to a third country, namely the United States. On 10 July 2023, the European Commission adopted an adequacy decision confirming an adequate level of protection for transfers to companies participating in the EU–US Data Privacy Framework. The provider is certified under that framework.
Further information about data protection at Google is available in Google’s Privacy Policy at: https://policies.google.com/privacy.

Facebook and Meta Platforms Services, Products and Technologies

This section brings together services offered by Meta Platforms, Inc., in particular Facebook.

Service: Facebook / Facebook Like Button / Facebook Connect / Facebook CDN

We use services provided by Facebook Inc., 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA (“Facebook”), on our websites.
Processing takes place only after you have given your consent under Article 6(1)(a) GDPR. Additional information about this potential processing is provided when consent is requested through the consent management tool.
Where consent has been given, your browser establishes a direct connection to Facebook’s servers. Facebook transmits the plugin content directly to your browser, which incorporates it into the website. By integrating the plugins, Facebook is informed that your browser has accessed the relevant page of our website, even if you do not have a Facebook account or are not currently signed in to Facebook. This information, including your IP address, is transmitted directly from your browser to a Facebook server in the United States and stored there.
If you interact with the plugins, for example by clicking the “LIKE” or “SHARE” button, the relevant information is also transmitted directly to and stored on a Facebook server.
The information is also published on Facebook and may be shown to your Facebook friends. Facebook may use this information for advertising, market research and the customised design of Facebook pages. To this end, Facebook creates usage, interest and relationship profiles, for example to evaluate your use of our website in relation to advertisements displayed to you on Facebook, inform other Facebook users about your activities on our website and provide further services associated with the use of Facebook. If you do not want Facebook to associate data collected through our websites with your Facebook account, you must sign out of Facebook before visiting our website. Please note that we have no knowledge of the content of the data transmitted to Facebook or how Facebook uses it.
We also use the Facebook Content Delivery Network (Facebook CDN) to deliver static content such as scripts and style sheets. This service is likewise operated by Facebook Inc., 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA. When resources are integrated through the CDN, your browser may connect to Facebook’s servers when a page is accessed in order to load the required content. For technical reasons, your IP address is transmitted to Facebook in the process. This processing takes place only with your explicit consent under Article 6(1)(a) GDPR. The CDN is integrated to provide website content more quickly and reliably. Here too, we have no knowledge of the content of the transmitted data or its subsequent use by Facebook.

Service: Meta Pixel

We use the Meta Pixel service. The provider is Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, Merrion Road, Dublin 4, D04 X2K5, Ireland.
