The information collected is combined into a pseudonymous user profile in order to display interest-based advertising to the user concerned. Doubleclick cookies enable Google and its partners to place ads based on previous visits to websites on the Internet. The information obtained in this way is transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there in order to carry out an evaluation.

Google DoubleClick is used on the basis of your consent in accordance with Article 6 I 1 a EU-GDPR. You can revoke your consent at any time by deactivating the consent banner (fingerprint symbol).

For more information on how to object to the advertisements displayed by Google, see the following links: https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads and https://adssettings.google.com/authenticated.

Contact Form/ Contacting us by e-mail (Art. 6 I 1 a, b EU-GDPR)

There is a contact form on our website that can be used to contact us electronically. If you write us a message using the contact form, we will process the data you provide on the contact form to contact you and answer your questions and requests.

The principle of data minimization is observed here, in that you only have to provide the data that we absolutely need to contact you. This is your e-mail address and the message field itself. Your IP-address will also be processed for technical reasons and for legal protection. All other data are voluntary fields and can be specified optionally (e.g. to answer your questions more individually).

In order to protect the security and confidentiality of your data in the best possible way, we implement appropriate security measures. Your request will be transferred to us under encryption.

If you contact us by email, we will process the personal data provided in the email solely for the purpose of processing your request. If you do not use the contact form provided, no further data collection will take place.

Newsletter (Art. 6 I 1 a EU-GDPR)

You can subscribe to a free newsletter on our website. The e-mail address provided when registering for the newsletter will be used to send the newsletter.

The principle of data minimization is observed here, since only the e-mail address is marked as a mandatory field. For technical reasons and for legal protection, your IP address will also be processed when you subscribe to the newsletter.

We use the so-called double opt-in procedure to send newsletters by e-mail. This means that you will only receive advertising by e-mail if you have previously expressly confirmed that we should activate the newsletter service. This is done by sending you a notification email and asking you to confirm by clicking on a link contained in this email that you would like to receive our newsletter at this email address.

Of course, you can unsubscribe at any time using the unsubscribe option provided in the newsletter and thus revoke your consent. It is also possible to unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time directly via our website.

Advertising in existing customer relationships (Art. 6 I 1 f EU-GDPR)

bdtronic GmbH is interested in maintaining the customer relationship with you and in sending you information and offers about our products/services. We therefore process your data in order to send you relevant information and offers by email.

If you do not want this, you can object to the use of your personal data for direct marketing purposes at any time; this also applies to profiling insofar as it is related to direct advertising. If you object, we will no longer process your data for this purpose.

The objection can be made free of charge and informally without giving reasons and should be addressed to +49 7934 104 - 0, by e-mail to datenschutz@bdtronic.de or by post to:

Online offers for children

Persons under the age of 16 may not transfer any personal data to us or submit a declaration of consent without the consent of their legal representative. We encourage parents and legal representatives to take an active part in their children's online activities and interests.

Links to other providers

Our website also contains - clearly recognizable - links to the websites of other companies. If there are links to websites of other providers, we have no influence on their content. Therefore, no guarantee or liability can be accepted for this content. The respective provider or operator of the website is always responsible for the content of these websites.

The linked pages were checked for possible legal violations and recognizable legal violations at the time of linking. Illegal content was not recognizable at the time of linking. However, a permanent control of the content of the linked pages is not reasonable without concrete evidence of an infringement. Upon notification of rights violations, such links will be removed promptly.

Social Media

Privacy Statement/ Information on data protection on social media

bdtronic GmbH operates accounts in the "social media", in this case on Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and LinkedIn. Insofar as we have control over the processing of your data, we ensure that the applicable data protection regulations are observed.

Below you will find the most important information on data protection law with regard to our appearances.

Name and contact of the controller

  • YouTube

However, you use these platforms and their functions at your own risk. This applies in particular to the use of the interactive functions (e.g. commenting, sharing, rating).

We would also like to point out that your data may be processed outside the European Union.

Purposes and legal basis

We operate the fan pages in order to communicate with the visitors of these pages and to inform them about our offers in this way.

In addition, we collect data for statistical purposes in order to be able to further develop and optimize the content and to make our content more attractive. The data required for this (e.g. total number of page views, page activities and data provided by the visitor, interactions) are processed by the social networks and made available to us. We have no influence on the generation and presentation.

In addition, your personal data will be processed by the social media providers for market research and advertising purposes. Therefore, it is possible that e.g. user profiles are created based on your usage behavior and the resulting interests. Among other things, this enables advertisements to be placed inside and outside the platforms that match your interests. Cookies are usually stored on your device for this purpose. Irrespective of this, data that is not collected directly on your devices can also be stored in your usage profiles. The storage and analysis also take place across devices; this applies in particular, but not exclusively, if you are registered as a member and logged in to the respective platforms.

We do not collect or process any personal data beyond that scope.

The processing of your personal data by bdtronic GmbH is based on our legitimate interests in effective information and communication in accordance with Article 6 I 1 f EU-GDPR.

If you are asked for your consent to data processing, i.e. if you declare your consent by confirming a button or similar (opt-in), the legal basis for the processing is Article 6 I 1 a, 7 EU-GDPR.

Your rights as a data subject/ Right to contradict against a data processing

If you are a member of a social network and do not want the network to collect data about you via our website and link it to your stored member data on the respective network, you must

  • log out of the respective network before you visit our fan page,
  • delete the cookies present on the device and
  • quit and restart your browser.

After logging in again, however, you will be recognizable again for the network as a specific user.

For a detailed description of the respective processing and the possibility of objection (opt-out), we refer to the information linked below:

Overall, you have the following rights with regard to the processing of your personal data:

right to information; right to rectification; right to erasure; right to restriction of processing; right to object; right to data portability; right to lodge a complaint with the competent data protection authority about unlawful processing of your personal data.

However, since bdtronic GmbH does not have complete access to your personal data, you should contact the social media providers directly when making a claim, because they each have access to the personal data of their users and can take appropriate measures and provide information.

If you still need help, we will of course try to support you. Please contact datenschutz@bdtronic.de.

If you want to publish images, texts, plans, videos, music, etc. on our site, you should know that you may be assigning all rights of use to the network, which could ultimately have legal consequences for you if you are not the author yourself or rights holders.
