The controller responsible for data processing on this website is:

Coimbraprotokoll gemeinnützige UG (haftungsbeschränkt)

The controller is the natural or legal person who alone or jointly with others decides on the purposes and means of processing personal data (e.g., names, email addresses, or similar).

Revocation of your consent to data processing

Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You may revoke consent you have already given at any time. The lawfulness of data processing carried out prior to the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

Right to object to data collection in special cases and to direct marketing (Art. 21 GDPR)

Where the processing of personal data is based on Article 6(1)(e) or (f) of the GDPR, you have the right to object at any time, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to the processing of your personal data; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions. Please refer to this privacy policy for the respective legal basis upon which processing is based. If you object, we will no longer process the personal data concerned unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights, and freedoms, or if the processing serves the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims (objection pursuant to Article 21(1) GDPR).

Where your personal data is processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you for such marketing; this also applies to profiling to the extent that it is related to such direct marketing. If you object, your personal data will subsequently no longer be used for the purpose of direct marketing (objection pursuant to Art. 21 para. 2 GDPR).

Right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority

In the event of violations of the GDPR, data subjects have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, particularly in the Member State of their habitual residence, place of work, or the place of the alleged infringement. This right to lodge a complaint exists without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedies.

Right to data portability

You have the right to have data that we process automatically based on your consent or in fulfillment of a contract handed over to you or to a third party in a common, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only be done if it is technically feasible.

SSL or TLS encryption

For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content—such as orders or inquiries that you send to us as the site operator—this site uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the browser’s address line changes from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock symbol in your browser bar.

When SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

Information, deletion, and rectification

Subject to applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to obtain information free of charge regarding your stored personal data, its origin and recipients, and the purpose of the data processing, as well as—where applicable—the right to have this data rectified or deleted. You may contact us at any time at the address provided in the legal notice regarding this matter or for further questions concerning personal data.

Right to restriction of processing

You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. You may contact us at any time regarding this matter using the address provided in the legal notice. The right to restriction of processing applies in the following cases:

• If you contest the accuracy of the personal data we hold about you, we generally require time to verify this. For the duration of this verification, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
• If the processing of your personal data was or is unlawful, you may request the restriction of data processing instead of erasure.
• If we no longer require your personal data, but you need it to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of erasure.
• If you have lodged an objection pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR, a balancing of your interests against ours must be carried out. Until it is determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.

If the processing of your personal data has been restricted, such data—with the exception of storage—may only be processed with your consent, for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims, for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person, or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or of a Member State.

Objection to Promotional Emails

We hereby object to the use of contact details published in compliance with mandatory legal notice requirements for the purpose of sending unsolicited advertising and informational materials. The site operators expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of unsolicited promotional information being sent, such as via spam emails.

Cookies that are required to carry out the electronic communication process (necessary cookies), to provide certain functions you have requested (functional cookies, e.g., for the shopping cart function), or to optimize the website (e.g., cookies for measuring web audience) are stored based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, unless another legal basis is specified. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing cookies to ensure the technically error-free and optimized provision of its services. If consent to the storage of cookies has been requested, the relevant cookies are stored exclusively on the basis of this consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR); consent may be revoked at any time.

You can configure your browser to inform you about the setting of cookies and allow cookies only in individual cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies for specific cases or in general, and activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser.

When you visit our website, a Borlabs cookie is stored in your browser; this cookie records the consents you have granted or the withdrawal of such consents. This data is not shared with the provider of Borlabs Cookie.

The collected data is stored until you request its deletion, delete the Borlabs cookie yourself, or the purpose for data storage no longer applies.

Borlabs Cookie consent technology is used to obtain the legally required consents for the use of cookies. The legal basis for this is Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. c GDPR.

• IP address

This data is not combined with other data sources.

This data is collected on the basis of Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the technically error-free presentation and optimization of their website—collecting server log files is necessary for this purpose.

Inquiries via email, telephone, or fax

If you contact us via email, telephone, or fax, your inquiry—including any personal data arising from it (such as your name and the content of the inquiry)—will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of handling your request. We do not pass this data on to third parties without your consent.

The processing of this data is based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR if your inquiry is related to the performance of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures.

The data you transmit to us via contact inquiries will remain with us until you request its deletion, revoke your consent for storage, or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g., after your request has been fully processed). Mandatory legal provisions—particularly statutory retention periods—remain unaffected.

Facebook Plugins (Like & Share buttons)

Plugins from the social network Facebook are integrated into this website. The provider of this service is Facebook Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Dublin 2, Ireland. However, according to Facebook, the data collected is also transferred to the USA and other third countries.

You can recognize the Facebook plugins by the Facebook logo or the “Like” button on this website. An overview of Facebook plugins can be found here: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/?locale=de_DE.

When you visit this website, the plugin establishes a direct connection between your browser and the Facebook server. This informs Facebook that you have visited this website using your IP address. If you click the Facebook “Like” button while logged into your Facebook account, you can link the content of this website to your Facebook profile. This allows Facebook to associate your visit to this website with your user account. Please note that, as the provider of the pages, we have no knowledge of the content of the transmitted data or how it is used by Facebook. Further information on this can be found in Facebook’s privacy policy at: https://de-de.facebook.com/privacy/explanation.

If you do not wish for Facebook to be able to associate your visit to this website with your Facebook user account, please log out of your Facebook user account.

The use of Facebook plugins is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in achieving the greatest possible visibility on social media. Where consent has been requested, processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR; consent may be revoked at any time.

6. Analysis Tools and Advertising

Facebook Pixel

This website uses the visitor action pixel from Facebook for conversion tracking. The provider of this service is Facebook Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Dublin 2, Ireland. According to Facebook, however, the data collected is also transferred to the USA and other third countries.

This allows the behavior of site visitors to be tracked after they have been redirected to the provider’s website by clicking on a Facebook advertisement. This enables the effectiveness of Facebook advertisements to be evaluated for statistical and market research purposes and allows for the optimization of future advertising measures.

The data collected is anonymous to us as the operator of this website; we cannot draw conclusions regarding the identity of the users. However, the data is stored and processed by Facebook, making it possible to link the data to the respective user profile and allowing Facebook to use the data for its own advertising purposes in accordance with the Facebook Data Use Policy. This enables Facebook to display advertisements both on Facebook platforms and elsewhere. We, as the site operator, have no control over this use of data.

The use of the Facebook Pixel is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in effective advertising measures, including those involving social media. If consent has been requested (e.g., consent to the storage of cookies), processing is based exclusively on Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR; consent may be revoked at any time.

You can find further information on the protection of your privacy in Facebook’s data policy: https://de-de.facebook.com/about/privacy/.

You can also deactivate the “Custom Audiences” remarketing function in the ad settings section at https://www.facebook.com/ads/preferences/?entry_product=ad_settings_screen. You must be logged into Facebook to do this. If you do not have a Facebook account, you can disable usage-based advertising from Facebook on the European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance website: http://www.youronlinechoices.com/de/praferenzmanagement/.
