Some elements of our website serve the sole purpose of transmitting a message (Section 25(2)(1) TDDDG) or are strictly necessary to provide you with our website or individual functionalities of our website (Section 25(2)(2) TDDDG), e.g., language settings, or to enable you to use our website without interruption by preventing pop-ups, sidebars, etc. from reappearing. The elements are deleted once storage is no longer necessary. You can prevent this processing by adjusting the settings in your browser software. For elements whose storage duration is not limited to the session, you can delete them in your browser software settings after your session ends.

We also use elements on the website that are not technically necessary. In accordance with legal requirements, we use these technologies only with your consent. Information on the individual technologies and functions can be found in our “Settings” as well as organized by function in the following information.

We use a consent tool on our website to request your consent for the processing of your device information and personal data via cookies or other tracking technologies. This allows you to consent to or refuse the processing of your device information and personal data via cookies or other tracking technologies for the listed purposes. Such processing purposes may include, for example, the integration of external elements, statistical analysis, audience measurement, or personalized advertising. You may grant or deny your consent for all processing purposes, or grant or deny your consent for individual purposes. You may also change the settings you have selected at a later time. The purpose of integrating the consent management platform is to allow users of our website to decide whether to accept cookies and similar functionalities and to offer them the option to change settings they have already made while continuing to use our website.  In the course of using the consent management platform, we process personal data as well as information about the end devices used.

The information regarding the settings you have made is also stored on your device. The legal basis for the processing is Article 6(1)(c) of the GDPR in conjunction with Article 7(1) of the GDPR, insofar as the processing serves to fulfill the legally mandated obligations to provide evidence of consent. In all other cases, Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR is the applicable legal basis. Our legitimate interests in the processing lie in the storage of user settings and preferences regarding the use of cookies and the evaluation of consent rates. Twelve months after the user settings are made, consent is requested again. The user settings you have configured will then be stored again for this period, unless you delete the information about your user settings yourself beforehand using the device storage provided for this purpose. You may object to the processing to the extent that the processing is based on Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR.

Your right to object applies for reasons arising from your particular situation. You may submit your objection to us using the contact details provided in the “Data Controller” section. The recipients of the personal data processed in this context are the provider of the consent management platform we use: “GDPR Cookie Consent” by the provider “Cookiebot” with regard to the “GDPR Cookie Consent” consent management platform.

This website uses the “Google Maps” service provided by “Google” (Google Ireland Ltd., Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, and Google, LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; hereinafter: “Google” and “Google Maps”) for the purpose of displaying maps or map sections, thereby enabling you to conveniently use the map function on the website. By visiting the website, Google receives the information that you have accessed the corresponding subpage of our website. In addition, some of the data mentioned in the section “Use of Our Website” is transmitted to Google. This occurs 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 to Google, your data is directly associated with your account. If you do not wish for this association with your Google profile, you must log out before activating the button. Google stores your data as usage profiles and processes them—regardless of whether you have a Google user account—for the purposes of advertising, market research, and/or tailoring its website to user needs. With regard to the storage of and access to information on your device, your consent serves as the legal basis pursuant to Section 25(1) of the German Telemedia Act (TDDDG); for further processing, your consent also serves as the legal basis pursuant to Article 6(1)(a) of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Google also processes your personal data in the United States. The European Commission has issued an adequacy decision for data transfers to the United States. Google, LLC is certified under this decision. Additionally, standard contractual clauses have been concluded with Google, LLC to commit Google, LLC to an adequate level of data protection.

You can obtain a copy of the standard contractual clauses at https://cloud.google.com/terms/sccs. Further information on the purpose and scope of processing by the plug-in provider and the storage period for Google Maps can be found at https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de.

We use “Google Tag Manager” from “Google” (Google Ireland Ltd., Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, and Google, LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; hereinafter: “Google” and “Google Tag Manager”) on our website. “Google Tag Manager” is a solution that allows website tags and other third-party elements to be managed via a single interface. When you visit the website, Google Tag Manager sends an HTTP request to “Google.” This transmits device information and personal data, such as your IP address and information about your browser settings, to Google. We use “Google Tag Manager” to facilitate electronic communication by transferring information to third-party providers via programming interfaces, among other means. The respective tracking codes of the third-party providers are implemented in “Google Tag Manager,” without requiring us to make extensive changes to the website’s source code ourselves. Instead, integration is achieved through a container that inserts a “placeholder” code into the source code. Additionally, “Google Tag Manager” allows user data parameters to be exchanged in a specific order, particularly by organizing and systematizing the data packets.

Your data is occasionally also transferred to the United States. The European Commission has issued an adequacy decision for data transfers to the United States. Google is certified under this decision. Additionally, standard contractual clauses have been concluded with Google, LLC to commit Google, LLC to an adequate level of data protection. You can obtain a copy of the standard contractual clauses at https://cloud.google.com/terms/sccs. The legal basis for data processing is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. Our legitimate interests in the processing lie in facilitating and carrying out electronic communication by identifying communication endpoints, control options, exchanging data elements in a specified order, and identifying transmission errors. “Google Tag Manager” does not trigger any data storage. For more information on data protection at “Google,” please visit: http://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy.

You may object to the processing provided it is based on Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. Your right to object applies for reasons arising from your particular situation. You may submit your objection to us using the contact details provided in the “Data Controller” section. You can prevent processing by deleting your browser history and website data in your browser settings or by opening the browser in “incognito mode.” Additionally, “Google Tag Manager” integrates third-party tags, such as tracking codes or tracking pixels, into our website. The tool triggers other tags that, in turn, collect your data; we provide separate information about this in this Privacy Policy. The “Google Tag Manager” itself does not evaluate the device information and personal data of users collected by the tags. Rather, your data is forwarded to the respective third-party service for the purposes specified in our consent management tool. We have configured “Google Tag Manager” to work with our consent management tool in such a way that the triggering of certain third-party services in “Google Tag Manager” depends on your selection in our consent management tool, so that only those third-party tags for which you have given consent trigger data processing.

The use of “Google Tag Manager” is covered by the consent for the respective third-party service. The legal basis for the processing is your consent pursuant to Article 6(1)(a) GDPR. Google also processes some of the data in the United States. The European Commission has issued an adequacy decision for data transfers to the United States. Google is certified under this decision. Additionally, standard contractual clauses have been concluded with Google, LLC to commit Google, LLC to an adequate level of data protection. You can obtain a copy of the standard contractual clauses at https://cloud.google.com/terms/sccs. The retention period for your data can be found in the following descriptions of the individual third-party services. Further information on data protection at Google can be found at: http://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy.

You may revoke your consent to processing at any time by sliding the toggle at back in the “Settings” of the consent tool for the respective third-party provider. The lawfulness of the processing remains unaffected until the revocation is exercised.

(Beneluxlaan 4B, 3527 HT Utrecht, Netherlands; hereinafter: Zoho Desk). We use Zoho Desk to organize our customer service inquiries, for example, when you contact us via beratung@velptec.de. By analyzing customer reviews, we measure customer satisfaction and compile statistics on accounts, contacts, and products. With Zoho Desk, we can sort incoming customer inquiries by urgency, priority, and customer type, thereby optimizing the quality of our customer service.

We use the “Google Ads” service provided by “Google” (Google Ireland Ltd., Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, and Google, LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; hereinafter: “Google” and “Google Ads”) to draw attention to our attractive offers on external websites using advertising materials (formerly known as “Google AdWords”). We can determine the success of individual advertising measures based on the data from the advertising campaigns. These advertisements are delivered by Google via “ad servers.” For this purpose, we use “ad server” cookies, which allow certain parameters for measuring reach—such as the display of ads or clicks by users—to be tracked. If you arrive at our website via a Google ad, Google Ads will store a cookie on your device. Using these cookies, Google processes the information generated by your device regarding interactions with our advertising materials (visiting a specific webpage or clicking on an ad), the data mentioned in the section “Use of Our Website”—in particular your IP address, browser information, the previously visited website, and the date and time of the server request, for the purpose of analyzing and visualizing the reach of our advertisements. For this purpose, it may also be determined whether different devices belong to you or your household. Due to the marketing tools used, your browser automatically establishes a direct connection to the Google server. If you are registered with a Google service, Google can associate the visit with your account. Even if you are not registered with Google or have not logged in, there is a possibility that the provider may obtain and process your IP address. We receive only statistical reports from Google to measure the effectiveness of our advertising materials. With regard to the storage of and access to information on your device, your consent serves as the legal basis pursuant to Section 25(1) of the German Telemedia Act (TDDDG); for further processing, your consent also serves as the legal basis pursuant to Article 6(1)(a) of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

You may withdraw your consent to the processing at any time by sliding the slider back in the “Cookie Settings” of the consent tool. The lawfulness of the processing remains unaffected until the withdrawal is exercised.

To tailor our website as effectively as possible to users’ interests, we use “Google Analytics,” a web analytics service provided by “Google” (Google Ireland Ltd., Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, and Google, LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; hereinafter referred to as “Google” and “Google Analytics 4”). Google Analytics 4 uses “cookies,” which are stored on your device for recognition purposes, as well as similar tracking methods for device recognition, such as web beacons, device fingerprinting, and programming interfaces (e.g., APIs and SDKs), to process information from your device. For this purpose, a randomly generated identification number (cookie ID/device ID) is assigned to your device.  Using these technologies, Google processes the information generated regarding your device’s use of our website, as well as access data, for the purpose of statistical analysis—e.g., visits to a specific webpage, number of unique visitors, entry and exit pages, duration of visit, click, swipe, and scroll behavior, button interactions, newsletter sign-ups, bounce rate, and similar user interactions. For this purpose, it may also be determined whether different devices belong to you or your household. Access data includes, in particular, the IP address, browser and device information, cookie ID/device ID, the previously visited website, and the date and time of the server request.

In Google Analytics 4 systems, individual IP addresses are not logged or stored. When Google captures the IP address in dedicated local data centers within the EU, your IP address is used to determine location information. The IP address is then deleted before the access data is stored in a data center or on a server for Google Analytics. Google Analytics 4 does not provide precise data on geographic location, but only general location information such as the region and city of the end device’s location, which is derived from the IP address. Google will process this information to evaluate your use of the website, compile reports on website activity for us, and—where we specifically indicate this—to provide us with additional services related to website usage. If you are registered with a Google service, Google may associate your website visit with your user account and create and analyze cross-application user profiles.  In addition, a cross-platform analysis of user behavior on websites and apps that use Google Analytics 4 technologies takes place. This allows user behavior to be recorded, measured, and compared equally across different environments. For example, the user’s scroll events are automatically recorded to facilitate a better understanding of how websites and apps are used. Different cookie IDs/device IDs are used for various end devices. Subsequently, we are provided with anonymized statistics on the use of the various platforms, generated according to selected criteria.

Using Google Analytics 4, target groups are automatically created for specific cookie IDs/device IDs or mobile advertising IDs, which are later used for personalized advertising. Possible target group criteria include, for example: users who viewed products but did not add them to a shopping cart, or added items to a shopping cart but did not complete the purchase, OR users who purchased specific items. A target group comprises at least 100 users. Using the Google Ads tool, interest-based ads can then be displayed in search results. Similarly, users of websites can be recognized on other websites within the Google advertising network (in Google Search, on YouTube, in Google Ads, or on other websites) and presented with ads tailored to the defined audience criteria.

With regard to the storage of and access to information on your device, your consent serves as the legal basis pursuant to Section 25(1) of the TDDDG; for further processing, your consent also serves as the legal basis pursuant to Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR. Google also processes some of the data in the United States. The European Commission has issued an adequacy decision for data transfers to the United States. Google, LLC is certified under this decision. In addition, standard contractual clauses have been agreed with Google, LLC to ensure that Google, LLC adheres to an appropriate level of data protection. You can obtain a copy of the standard contractual clauses at https://cloud.google.com/terms/sccs. Your data in connection with Google Analytics 4 will be deleted after 24 months at the latest. For more information on data protection at Google, please visit: http://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy.

The analyzed information and statistics are processed exclusively on our own web servers or databases. The “Matomo” tool collects, analyzes, and categorizes information generated by the user’s device regarding the use of our website and interactions with our website, as well as access data—including IP address, browser information, previously visited websites, and the date and time of the server request—using technologies such as fingerprinting, for the purpose of statistical analysis and measuring the reach of advertisements in search engines. With regard to the storage of and access to information on your device, your consent serves as the legal basis pursuant to Section 25(1) of the TDDDG; for further processing, your consent also serves as the legal basis pursuant to Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR. We use “Matomo” with an extension that truncates IP addresses during processing to make it more difficult to directly identify individuals. The retention period is 13 months. You may withdraw your consent to the processing at any time by sliding the toggle in the “Cookie Settings” of the consent tool for the respective third-party provider. The lawfulness of the processing remains unaffected until the withdrawal is exercised.

On our websites, we use the analytics features provided by “Meta” (provided by Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Dublin 2, Ireland, and Meta Platforms Inc., 1601 Willow Rd, Menlo Park, California, USA; hereinafter: “Meta”). For this purpose, we use the Meta Pixel and the Meta Conversions API to analyze the use of our websites and online presence, e.g., on social networks such as Meta and Instagram, the interactions users have on our websites and online presence, and the reach of our advertisements. The Meta Conversions API, an application programming interface, helps us transmit and evaluate marketing information and parameters regarding interactions between website visitors and our website directly to Meta’s servers. We use these insights to optimize our marketing and advertising campaigns and to create target audiences—particularly of Meta users—to whom we can display interest-based advertisements. With the help of Meta pixels—which are graphics embedded on our websites that load automatically when you visit our sites and enable tracking of user behavior—your browser automatically establishes a direct connection to Meta’s server. Through the integration of Meta pixels, Meta processes the information generated about your device’s use of our websites—e.g., that you have visited a specific webpage—and processes, among other things, the data listed in the section “Use of Our Websites,” specifically IP address, browser information, the Meta ID, device ID, language settings, date and time of the server request, as well as event data such as page and button clicks and other interactions—for the purpose of analyzing our websites and online presence, analyzing user interactions, and measuring the reach of our advertisements.

For these purposes, it may also be determined whether different devices belong to you or your household. The information obtained using the Meta Pixel serves us solely for statistical purposes, is transmitted to us by Meta anonymously as statistics, and does not provide any insight into the user’s identity. If you are registered with a Meta service, Meta may associate the collected information with your account or with you as a user. Even if a user is not registered with Meta or is not logged in, there is a possibility that Meta may obtain and process the IP address and other identifying characteristics.

With regard to the storage of and access to information on your device, your consent serves as the legal basis pursuant to Section 25(1) of the TDDDG; for further processing, your consent also serves as the legal basis pursuant to Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR.

If you arrive at our website via a LinkedIn ad, the tag sets a cookie on your device or in your browser to measure the reach of our advertisements, enable the attribution of an ad’s success, and continuously improve our advertisements. Using these cookies, LinkedIn processes the information generated by your device regarding interactions with our advertisements (e.g., visiting a specific webpage or clicking on an ad) as well as, in part, the data mentioned in the section “Use of Our Website,” such as your IP address, device and browser information, referrer URL, and timestamps, for the purpose of analyzing the reach and measuring the success of our ads, whereby LinkedIn truncates the IP addresses. By using LinkedIn’s conversion tracking features, we can determine, in particular, to what extent the ads we have placed have influenced relevant actions on our website. For this purpose, your browser automatically establishes a direct connection to LinkedIn’s server. If you are logged into a LinkedIn service, LinkedIn may associate the collected information—in particular information about your visit to our website—with your user account. The direct identifiers of registered users processed in this context are removed by “LinkedIn” within seven days, and the remaining data is then deleted within 180 days. Even if you do not have a user account with LinkedIn or are not logged in, it is possible that LinkedIn may obtain and process, in particular, your IP address and other identifying characteristics.

As part of the analysis, “LinkedIn” does not share any personal data with us, but merely provides us with statistical analyses to measure the effectiveness of our advertising materials. This provides us with statistical insights into the success of our ads displayed on LinkedIn and whether they have led to relevant actions on our website. We also receive statistical analyses regarding which groups of people (e.g., those with a specific job title, company, or industry) have taken action. Based on this, we can refine our target groups and improve the targeting of our advertising materials. The legal basis for the storage of and access to information on your device is Section 25(1) of the TDDDG; the legal basis for further processing is Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR. LinkedIn also processes the data in the United States. We have entered into standard contractual clauses with LinkedIn to ensure that LinkedIn maintains an adequate level of data protection. We will gladly provide you with a copy upon request. For more information on data protection and retention periods at LinkedIn, please visit https://www.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy.

To efficiently manage and process our analytics and marketing tags in a privacy-friendly manner, we use “Stape,” a service for server-side tag management (Stape Europe OÜ, Narva mnt 5, 10117 Tallinn, Estonia). In this process, tracking data is not processed directly in the browser but via a server endpoint controlled by us and, if necessary, forwarded to third-party providers (e.g., Google, Meta). Stape provides the necessary infrastructure for this (e.g., Google Tag Manager Server Container). This server-side processing allows us to control data flows more precisely and to anonymize or filter personal information (such as IP addresses) before it is forwarded. Cookies (e.g., _gtmeec, _fbp) are used for this purpose and are stored on your device for recognition. The data processed includes, in particular, truncated IP addresses, device and browser information, and event data.

With regard to the storage of and access to information on your device, your consent serves as the legal basis pursuant to Section 25(1) of the German Telemedia Act (TDDDG); for further processing, your consent also serves as the legal basis pursuant to Article 6(1)(a) of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). The data is processed on Stape’s servers within the European Union. We have entered into a data processing agreement with Stape. The cookies set via Stape are deleted at the end of the respective session.
