This usually takes place through the use of log files and cookies. Further information on log files and cookies can be found below.

5. Information About Your Computer, Log Files and Cookies

5.1 Each time you access our website, we process technical connection data, in particular the IP address of your device, the date and time of access, information about the browser used, the response status and the amount of data transferred. This processing is required to provide the website, ensure system security and analyze technical errors.

5.2 Our website is hosted using infrastructure provided by Hetzner. Further information is available in Hetzner’s privacy policy:
https://www.hetzner.com/de/legal/privacy-policy
Where personal data is processed in connection with hosting, this is done for the purpose of providing and securing the technical operation of our website.

5.3 We use a consent banner on our website that allows you to decide which optional cookie and tracking categories you want to allow. We store your selection in a technically necessary cookie so that your choice can be respected on later visits. This cookie does not create marketing profiles; it stores only your consent settings and is kept for up to 12 months.

5.4 We currently distinguish between the following categories on our website:

Essential: This category is always active and is technically required so that the website, security functions and the storage of your privacy selection work properly.

Functional: This category covers convenience features, in particular remembered states and similar helpers within the reader or the website. These functions are only activated if you expressly allow them.

Statistics: This category covers audience measurement and analytics, in particular Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager and comparable measurement or evaluation technologies. These services are only loaded if you consent to the statistics category.

5.5 You can reopen and change your selection at any time via the privacy button on the website. Alternatively, you can delete or block stored cookies through your browser settings. Please note that individual functions of the website may then be limited.

6. Data Security
All information you transmit to us is stored on servers within the European Union. In particular, your personal data is transmitted in encrypted form. We use the SSL (Secure Socket Layer) encryption system. Due to the many interfaces involved, internet-based data transmission always entails a certain level of risk. We observe the best possible security precautions to defend against possible attacks.

7. Disclosure of Your Personal Data
Winnox Consulting AG takes the necessary measures to ensure that only authorized personnel and auxiliary persons with the required knowledge have access to your personal data in order to fulfil the purposes for which your personal data was collected.

a) Disclosure to Third Parties
We may disclose your personal data for the purposes and legal bases described above to the following categories of recipients where necessary for the intended data processing:

– other companies within the group;
– service providers who process personal data on behalf of and under the instructions of Winnox Consulting AG (processors, for example in IT, hosting and support);
– customers, partners, suppliers, insurers and other business partners;
– media agencies, the public, including visitors to websites and social media of the group;
– industry organizations, associations and other bodies;
– acquirers or parties interested in acquiring business units, companies or other parts of the group;
– courts, arbitration bodies, law enforcement authorities, supervisory authorities, lawyers and other parties in possible or actual legal proceedings, where this is necessary to comply with the law or to establish, exercise or defend rights or legal claims.

We select our partners and processors carefully and only if they provide sufficient guarantees that they have suitable technical and organizational measures in place in accordance with legal requirements.

b) Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager
If you enable the “Statistics” category in our consent banner, we use Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager, services provided by Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. Without your consent to the statistics category, these services are not loaded on our website.

Google Analytics helps us understand how our website is used, for example which pages are visited, how long users stay on the website and which sources visits come from. Google Tag Manager is used for the technical delivery and management of such measurement and tracking tags.

This processing takes place exclusively on the basis of your consent. You can withdraw or adjust this consent at any time with effect for the future by reopening the privacy button on the website and changing your selection.

If you activate the statistics category, usage data, in particular shortened IP addresses, device and browser information, page views, time spent on the site and interactions with the website, may be transmitted to Google and processed there. Further information on Google’s data processing is available at:
https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en

c) Google Maps
This website uses Google Maps API, a map service provided by Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. This allows us to display interactive maps directly on the website and enables convenient use of the map function.

The legal basis for processing results from your consent, where required, and our legitimate interests in presenting our location and making it easy to find the place specified on our website.

By using Google Maps, information about the use of our website, including your IP address, may be transmitted to and stored on a Google server in the USA. Google may transfer the information obtained through Google Maps to third parties if required by law or if third parties process this data on behalf of Google.

You can deactivate Google Maps and prevent data transfer to Google by disabling JavaScript in your browser. In this case, however, you will not be able to use the map display.

Further information on the purpose and scope of data collection and its processing by Google can be found at: https://www.google.de/intl/en/policies/privacy/.

d) Social Media Plug-ins
We use the social plug-ins listed below on our website in order to make our company better known via these channels. The underlying promotional purpose is regarded as a legitimate interest. The responsibility for data protection-compliant operation must be ensured by the respective provider. Data processing in connection with these plug-ins takes place when you use these plug-ins and, where required, on the basis of your consent.

If you use the services of these social networks independently or in connection with our website, the social networks evaluate your use of the plug-in. In this case, information about the plug-in is transmitted to the social networks.

i) Facebook
Our website uses plug-ins of the social network Facebook, offered by Meta Platforms, Inc., 1601 Willow Road, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA. The Facebook plug-ins are identified by a Facebook logo or the words “Like” or “Share”. An overview of Facebook plug-ins can be found at: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins.

If you call up a page on our website that contains such a plug-in, your browser establishes a direct connection to Facebook’s servers. The content of the plug-in is transmitted by Facebook directly to your browser and integrated into the page.

If you are logged in to Facebook, Facebook can directly assign the visit to our website to your Facebook profile. If you interact with the plug-ins, for example by clicking the “Like” button, this information is also transmitted directly to a Facebook server and stored there.

Further information is available in Facebook’s privacy policy: https://www.facebook.com/policy.php.

ii) Instagram
Our website uses plug-ins of the social network Instagram, offered by Meta Platforms, Inc., 1601 Willow Road, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA.

Data is only sent to the social media provider once the user activates the social media plug-ins by clicking on the selected plug-in. In this case, Meta may establish a direct connection to the user during the visit to the website and analyze the corresponding information.

Further information is available at: https://help.instagram.com/519522125107875/.

iii) LinkedIn
Our website includes plug-ins of the social network LinkedIn Corporation, 1000 West Maude Avenue, Sunnyvale, California 94085, USA. You can recognize the LinkedIn plug-in by the LinkedIn logo.
