The legal basis for this data collection is Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR (legitimate interest). We cannot offer you the option to object to this data collection, as the server log is essential for ensuring the availability of this website and for responding to attacks on the website.
The data from the server log is automatically deleted after 14 days.

When you subscribe to our newsletter, this is based on the legal grounds that you have given us your consent to do so (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). You can opt out of receiving the newsletter at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link at the bottom of each newsletter or by sending us an informal email with the subject line “Unsubscribe from newsletter” to datenschutz@flux-pumpen.de.

If you create a user account with us using the form provided on the website, this is done on the basis of your consent (Art. 6(1)(a)).

Our website features the “Like” button from the social network Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland, on its homepage. The integration of the “Like” button means that data, such as your IP address, is also transmitted to Facebook. Facebook does not clearly and conclusively specify how it uses the transmitted data for its own purposes, and we are not aware of this. For these reasons, this functionality is only offered if you have given us your consent via the consent banner when visiting our website (Art. 6(1)(a)).

This website embeds videos from YouTube. The website is operated by Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. When you visit one of our web pages that includes YouTube, a connection is established with YouTube’s servers. In the process, the YouTube server is informed which of our pages you have visited.

In addition, YouTube may store various cookies on your device. These cookies enable YouTube to collect information about visitors to this website. This information is used, among other things, to track video statistics, improve the user experience, and prevent fraud. The cookies remain on your device until you delete them. If you are logged into your YouTube account, you allow YouTube to associate your browsing behavior directly with your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account. The use of YouTube is in the interest of presenting our online offerings in an appealing manner. This constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. If consent has been obtained, processing is based exclusively on Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR; consent may be withdrawn at any time.

FLUX uses the web analytics tools Matomo and Google Analytics to track website traffic. The traffic data is collected anonymously, so that no connection can be made to a specific user. In particular, this is achieved by anonymizing the IP address.

Cookies are used for tracking purposes to enable the analysis of website usage. In particular, this allows FLUX to improve data quality. The information generated about the use of the websites is stored on our server, which is operated by FLUX in Germany.

Only authorized persons have access to this anonymized data.

Google Analytics
This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc. (“Google”). Google Analytics uses so-called “cookies,” which are text files stored on your computer that enable an analysis of website usage. The information generated by the cookie regarding your use of this website is generally transmitted to a Google server in the United States and stored there. However, because IP anonymization is enabled on this website, your IP address will be truncated by Google within member states of the European Union or in other signatory states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the United States and truncated there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity, and to provide other services related to website and internet usage to the website operator. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics is not combined with other data held by Google.

You can prevent the storage of cookies by adjusting your browser settings accordingly; however, please note that in this case, you may not be able to use all features of this website to their full extent. You can also prevent Google from collecting the data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address), as well as from processing this data, by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at the following link: tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

Matomo
This website uses Matomo, an open-source software for the statistical analysis of visitor traffic. Matomo uses so-called “cookies,” text files that are stored on your computer and enable an analysis of your use of the website. The information generated by the cookie regarding your use of this website is stored on the provider’s server in Germany. The IP address is anonymized immediately after processing and before it is stored. You can prevent the installation of cookies by adjusting your browser settings accordingly; however, please note that in this case, you may not be able to use all features of this website to their full extent.

The data controller has integrated Google Remarketing services into this website. Google Remarketing is a feature of Google Ads that enables a company to display advertisements to Internet users who have previously visited the company’s website. The integration of Google Remarketing therefore allows a company to create user-specific advertisements and, as a result, display ads relevant to the user’s interests.

The operator of Google Remarketing services is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

The purpose of Google Remarketing is to display interest-based advertising. Google Remarketing enables us to display ads via the Google Display Network or on other websites that are tailored to the individual needs and interests of internet users.

Google Remarketing places a cookie on the data subject’s computer system. What cookies are has already been explained above. By placing this cookie, Google is able to recognize visitors to our website when they subsequently visit other websites that are also part of the Google Display Network. Each time a website on which the Google Remarketing service has been integrated is accessed, the data subject’s web browser automatically identifies itself to Google. As part of this technical process, Google obtains personal data, such as the user’s IP address or browsing behavior, which Google uses, among other things, to display interest-based advertisements.

Personal information — such as the websites visited by the data subject — is stored via cookies. Consequently, each time our website is visited, personal data — including the IP address of the data subject’s internet connection — is transmitted to Google in the United States of America. This personal data is stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may, under certain circumstances, disclose this personal data — collected through technical means — to third parties.

As described above, the data subject can prevent our website from setting cookies at any time by adjusting the settings of the web browser being used, thereby permanently objecting to the setting of cookies. Such a setting in the user’s web browser would also prevent Google from setting a cookie on the data subject’s computer system. In addition, a cookie already set by Google Analytics can be deleted at any time via the web browser or other software programs.

Furthermore, the data subject has the option to opt out of interest-based advertising by Google. To do so, the data subject must access the link www.google.de/settings/ads from each of the web browsers they use and configure the desired settings there.

Further information and Google’s applicable privacy policy can be found at https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/.

To operate this website, we use service providers that we have carefully selected and with whom we have entered into data processing agreements to ensure compliance with the provisions of the GDPR and the BDSG. Furthermore, we do not disclose your data to third parties — whether for a fee or free of charge — without your permission.

Cookies are small text files that may be stored on your device (computer, smartphone, tablet) when you visit our website. Apart from the cookies set in connection with the use of the Facebook “Like” button, we only use so-called session cookies, which do not allow any personal identification and are deleted once you leave the website.

You have the following rights:

• the right of access (Art. 15 GDPR)
• the right to rectification (Art. 16 GDPR)
• the right to erasure (Art. 17 GDPR)

• the right to object (Art. 21 GDPR)
