Purpose of collection

When it comes to the collection of personal data, SBF Spezialleuchten GmbH only processes the said data in order to be able to pursue its own business objectives.

Personal data

The phrase ‘personal data’ refers to pieces of information that can be used to clearly identify a natural person. This involves information regarding personal or factual circumstances that make it possible to draw direct conclusions regarding a particular person. 

We only process personal data to the extent that such a course of action is permissible in accordance with data-protection-law-related regulations. In this regard, we endeavour to implement all the required technical and organisational measures, in order to ensure that the security of your personal data is suitably protected, and in order to ensure that the said data is protected against unauthorised access or misuse.

To the extent that we process personal data, we utilise the respective security measures such as firewalls, encryption procedures and physical access restrictions for the IT department. We implement the required state-of-the-art precautionary measures in order to minimise the risk of manipulation, unauthorised access, data loss etc. The data is only processed on servers lying within Europe.

The server log files are stored for 28 days. This data is not combined with other sources of data.

Cookies

Our website occasionally makes use of ‘cookies’. Cookies are small text files that are stored on the user device that you are using. Cookies make the use of websites more convenient and user-friendly. The cookies that we use are so-called ‘session cookies’. They are deleted automatically after the end of your visit.

You can use your browser to specify the extent to which you want to permit the use of cookies. If cookies are not allowed, or if they are restricted, the functionality of the site may also be restricted as a result. 

Google Analytics

This website uses functions of the Google Analytics web analysis service. The provider is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. Google Analytics uses cookies. The information generated by the cookie which pertains to your use of this website is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA, where it is then stored. We would like to point out that when it comes to this website, Google Analytics has been expanded to include the ‘anonymizeIp’ code, in order to guarantee the anonymised collection of IP addresses (so-called ‘IP masking’).

In case of this website, Google therefore shortens your IP address in advance; the IP address is shortened within member nations of the European Union or other signatories to the treaty on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transferred to a Google server in the USA and shortened at that location. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google shall use this information to analyse your use of the website, create reports pertaining to the website activities and provide the website operator with other services that are related to the use of the website and the internet. The IP address that your browser transfers within the framework of the Google Analytics operation shall not be combined with other Google data. The respective user data is deleted automatically after a period of 14 months. Data whose retention period has elapsed is deleted automatically; this happens once a month.

You can prevent cookies from being stored by making the corresponding adjustment in your browser software; however, we would like to point out that if you do so, you may not be able to use all of this website’s functions to the fullest extent. Furthermore, you can also prevent Google from receiving and processing the data that has been generated by the cookie and which pertains to your use of the website (including your IP address); this can be done by downloading and installing the browser plug-in that is available under the following link:
