3. Transfer of your data to third parties and processing of your data by third parties
A transfer of personal data to third parties for other than the following purposes does not take place. We only pass on your data to third parties if:
4.1 Use of cookies
We use the technology known as “cooies” during your use of our website and for web analysis purposes. These are small files that are stored on your PC when you call up one of our Internet pages. Two different types of cookies are used: so-called session cookies (related to a session) and persistent cookies (permanent).
The general session cookies do not contain any personal data and expire at the end of the session. They serve the purpose of connection control and navigation and enable you to use our internet offer comfortably.
The persistent cookies used for the web analysis are stored for statistical purposes and evaluated exclusively by us, GINO AG – Elektrotechnische Fabrik, in the context of the optimization of the online offers in the web analysis.
The processing of the data serves to deliver the contents of our website, to guarantee the functionality of our information technology systems and to optimize our website. The data of the log files are stored separately from other personal data of the users.
Persistent cookies are read when you visit the respective GINO AG – Elektrotechnische Fabrik website again. The cookies stored on your computer by GINO AG – Elektrotechnische Fabrik only contain an identification number and no personal data. The cookies are not used to personally identify visitors to our website.
You can set your web browser so that the storage of cookies is not permitted or so that cookies are deleted after the browser session has ended. You can find more information about these functions in the documentation or help file of your browser. Please note that if you exclude the use of cookies, you will only be able to use some websites or parts of them with restrictions or not at all.

The data will not be used for other purposes or passed on to third parties.
4.2 Integration of Google Analytics
On our website we use Google Analytics, a web analysis service of Google Inc. (“Google”). Google Analytics uses cookies which are stored on your computer and which enable an analysis of your use of our website. The information generated by the cookie about your use of our website, such as
are usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. On our behalf, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on the website activities and to provide further services to the website operator in connection with the use of the website and the Internet.
We have extended Google Analytics with the code “anonymizeIP”. This means that the IP address of users is shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or in other states that are party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. In exceptional cases, the full IP address is transferred to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. The code extension “anonymizeIP” removes the last 8 bits of the user’s IP address. By using this code only a rough localization of the users is possible. The IP address transmitted by the user’s browser is not merged with other data from Google.
You may refuse the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser, however please note that if you do this you may not be able to use the full functionality of this website. You can also prevent the collection of data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) to Google and the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available under the following link: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de
We use Google Analytics to analyse the use of our website and to improve it regularly. We can use the statistics obtained to improve our offer and make it more interesting for you as a user.
The legal basis for the use of Google Analytics is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR.

4.3 References and links
On our Internet presence we provide links to other websites which are provided and maintained by third parties. At the time the link was created, we satisfied ourselves that the linked pages were free of illegal content. The contents offered on these linked websites do not originate from us. The offers of third parties also neither reflect our opinion nor do we adopt their contents as our own. This applies in particular in the event that the user of such a link to our website encounters content from third-party providers that he finds offensive or inappropriate. We therefore also accept no liability whatsoever for the content of third-party websites that are linked to our website or to which reference is made in any other way. In particular, we assume no responsibility for the content, accuracy, legality or form of such third-party websites. We ask the users of our pages to notify us if they encounter illegal or offensive content on any third-party website linked to our website.
4.4 Use and application of YouTube
The data controller has integrated YouTube components into this website. YouTube is an Internet video portal that allows video publishers to post video clips for free and other users to view, rate and comment on them, also free of charge. YouTube allows the publication of all types of videos, which is why complete film and television programs, but also music videos, trailers or videos created by users themselves can be accessed via the Internet portal.
YouTube is operated by YouTube, LLC, 901 Cherry Ave., San Bruno, CA 94066, USA. YouTube, LLC is a subsidiary of Google Inc, 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA.
Each time the data subject accesses one of the individual pages of this Internet site operated by the data controller and on which a YouTube component (YouTube video) has been integrated, the Internet browser on the data subject’s information technology system is automatically prompted by the relevant YouTube component to download a representation of the relevant YouTube component from YouTube. Further information on YouTube can be found at www.youtube.com/yt/about/de/. This technical process allows YouTube and Google to know which specific page of our website is visited by the data subject.
If the person concerned is logged in at the same time on YouTube, YouTube recognizes which specific subpage of our website the person concerned is visiting by calling up a subpage containing a YouTube video. This information is collected by YouTube and Google and assigned to the respective YouTube account of the person concerned.
YouTube and Google will receive information through the YouTube component that the data subject has visited our website whenever the data subject is logged on to YouTube at the same time that he or she visits our website, whether or not the data subject clicks on a YouTube video. If the data subject does not want this information to be sent to YouTube and Google, he or she can prevent it from being sent by logging out of his or her YouTube account before visiting our website.
The privacy policy published by YouTube, which can be found at www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/, provides information about the collection, processing and use of personal data by YouTube and Google.
4.5 Integration of Google Maps
On this website we use the offer of Google Maps. This allows us to display interactive maps directly on the website and enables you to use the map function conveniently.
By visiting the website, Google receives the information that you have called up the corresponding subpage of our website. In addition, the data mentioned in this privacy policy will be transmitted. This happens regardless of whether Google provides a user account through which you are logged in or whether no user account exists. If you are logged in at Google, your data will be assigned directly to your account. If you do not wish to be assigned to your profile on Google, you must log out before activating the button. Google stores your data as user profiles and uses them for the purposes of advertising, market research and/or demand-oriented design of its website. Such an evaluation is carried out in particular (even for users who are not logged in) to provide needs-based advertising and to inform other users of the social network about your activities on our website. You have a right of objection to the creation of these user profiles, whereby you must contact Google to exercise this right.
Further information on the purpose and scope of data collection and processing by the plug-in provider can be found in the provider’s privacy policy.
There you will also receive further information on your rights and settings to protect your privacy:

4.6 Use of Google Web Fonts
Google web fonts (fonts.google.com) are used to improve the visual presentation of various information on this website. The web fonts are transferred to the cache of the browser when the page is called up, so that they can be used for the display. When the page is called up, no cookies are stored for the website visitor. Data transmitted in connection with the page call is sent to resource-specific domains such as fonts.googleapis.com or fonts.gstatic.com. They are not associated with data that may be collected or used in connection with the parallel use of authenticated Google services such as Gmail. You can set your browser so that the fonts are not loaded from the Google servers (e.g. by installing add-ons like NoScript or Ghostery for Firefox). If your browser does not support the Google fonts or if you prevent access to the Google servers, the text will be displayed in the default font of the system.

9. Legal basis of the processing
Insofar as we obtain your consent for processing of personal data, Article 6 paragraph 1 letter a EU-GDPR forms the legal basis.
We do not knowingly collect personal information from individuals under the age of 16 or knowingly do not allow the individuals concerned to register on our websites or for our services.
Article 6(1)(b) EU-DSA provides the legal basis for the processing of your personal data necessary for the performance of a contract to which you are party. This also applies to processing operations necessary for the performance of pre-contractual measures.
Insofar as the processing of personal data is necessary to fulfil a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Article 6 (1) letter c EU-GDPR serves as the legal basis.
In cases where vital interests of the data subject or of another natural person require the processing of personal data, Article 6(1)(d) EU-DSA serves as the legal basis.
If the processing is necessary to protect a legitimate interest of our company or of a third party and your interests, fundamental rights and freedoms do not outweigh the former interest, Article 6 (1) letter f EU-GDPR serves as the legal basis for the processing. The legitimate interest of our company lies in the performance of our business activities. The legitimate interest of third parties who provide services for us lies in the performance of the activities contractually agreed between the respective third party and us.
10. Duration of the storage of personal data
Personal data is stored for the duration of the respective legal retention period. After expiry of the period or if the earmarking no longer applies, the data is routinely deleted, unless it is necessary for the initiation or fulfilment of a Contract.
