Below, we inform you about the handling of your personal data when using our website. Personal data in this context is all data with which you can be personally identified.<\/p><p><b>1.2<\/b>\u00a0The controller for data processing on this website within the meaning of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is Placke GmbH, Auf dem Platen 6-11, 49326 Melle, Germany, Tel.: (+49) 54 22 \/ 959 980, e-mail: info@placke.de. The controller for the processing of personal data is the natural or legal person who alone or jointly with others determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data.<\/p><h2>2) Data collection when visiting our website<\/h2><p><b>2.1<\/b>\u00a0When you use our website merely for information, meaning if you do not register or otherwise transmit information to us, we only collect the data that your browser transmits to the page server (so-called \u201eserver log files\u201c). When you visit our website, we collect the following data, which is technically necessary for us to display the website to you:<\/p><ul><li>The website we visited<\/li><li>Date and time of access<\/li><li>Volume of data sent in bytes<\/li><li>Referrer<\/li><li>Browser used<\/li><li>Operating system used<\/li><li>IP address used (if applicable: in anonymised form)<\/li><\/ul><p>Processing is carried out in accordance with Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest in improving the stability and functionality of our website. The data will not be passed on or used in any other way. However, we reserve the right to check the server log files retrospectively if there are concrete indications of unlawful use.<\/p><p><b>2.2<\/b>\u00a0For security reasons and to protect the transmission of personal data and other confidential content (such as orders or enquiries to the controller), this website uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognise an encrypted connection by the string \u201ehttps:\/\/\u201c and the lock symbol in your browser bar.<\/p><h2>3) Hosting &amp; Content Delivery Network<\/h2><p>For the hosting of our website and the display of the page content, we use a provider that delivers its services, either itself or through selected sub-contractors, exclusively on servers within the European Union.<\/p><p>All data collected on our website is processed on these servers, unless deviating data recipients are specified below for specific data processing operations.<\/p><p>We have concluded a data processing agreement with the provider that ensures the protection of our site visitors' data and prohibits unauthorised disclosure to third parties.<\/p><h2>4) Cookies<\/h2><p>To make visiting our website attractive and to enable the use of certain functions, we use cookies, which are small text files that are stored on your device. Some of these cookies are automatically deleted after you close your browser (so-called \u201esession cookies\u201c), while others remain on your device for longer and enable the saving of page settings (so-called \u201epersistent cookies\u201c). In the latter case, you can find the storage duration in your web browser's cookie settings overview.<\/p><p>Insofar as personal data is also processed by individual cookies deployed by us, the processing is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR either for the performance of the contract, in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR in the event of consent having been given, or in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR to safeguard our legitimate interests in the best possible functionality of the website as well as a customer-friendly and effective design of the site visit.<\/p><p>You can configure your browser to inform you about the setting of cookies and decide individually on their acceptance, or to exclude the acceptance of cookies for specific cases or in general.<\/p><p>Please note that if you do not accept cookies, the functionality of our website may be limited.<\/p><h2>5) Contacting us<\/h2><p>When you contact us (e.g. via contact form or email), personal data is collected. Which data is collected in the case of a contact form can be seen from the respective contact form. This data is stored and used exclusively for the purpose of answering your request or for contacting you and the associated technical administration.<\/p><p>The legal basis for processing this data is our legitimate interest in responding to your enquiry in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. If your contact is aimed at the conclusion of a contract, an additional legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR. Your data will be deleted after final processing of your request. This is the case when it can be inferred from the circumstances that the matter in question has been conclusively resolved and provided that there are no statutory retention obligations to the contrary.<\/p><h2>6) Use of customer data for direct marketing<\/h2><p><b>6.1<\/b>\u00a0Subscription to our email newsletter<\/p><p>If you sign up for our e-mail newsletter, we will regularly send you information about our offers. The only mandatory information for sending the newsletter is your e-mail address. Providing further data is voluntary and will be used to address you personally. We use the so-called double opt-in procedure to send the newsletter. This means that we will only send you an e-mail newsletter once you have explicitly confirmed to us that you consent to receiving newsletters. We will then send you a confirmation e-mail asking you to confirm by clicking on a corresponding link that you wish to receive the newsletter in future.<\/p><p>By activating the confirmation link, you give us your consent to the use of your personal data in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR. When you sign up for the newsletter, we store the IP address assigned by your Internet Service Provider (ISP) as well as the date and time of registration in order to be able to trace any potential misuse of your email address at a later date. The data we collect when you register for the newsletter is used exclusively for the purpose of promotional communication via the newsletter. You can unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time via the link provided in the newsletter or by sending a corresponding message to the controller named at the beginning. Following unsubscription, your email address will be deleted from our newsletter distribution list without delay, unless you have expressly consented to the further use of your data or we reserve the right to further data use that is legally permitted and about which we inform you in this statement.<\/p><p><b>6.2<\/b>\u00a0Dispatch of the email newsletter to existing customers<\/p><p>If you have provided us with your email address when purchasing goods or services, we reserve the right to regularly send you offers by email for similar goods or services from our range to those already purchased. In accordance with Section 7(3) of the German Unfair Competition Act (UWG), we do not need to obtain separate consent from you for this. In this respect, data processing is carried out solely on the basis of our legitimate interest in personalised direct marketing pursuant to Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. If you initially objected to the use of your email address for this purpose, we will not send you any emails.<\/p><p>You are entitled to object to the use of your email address for the aforementioned advertising purpose at any time with effect for the future by notifying the controller named at the beginning. This will only incur transmission costs at the basic rates. Upon receipt of your objection, the use of your email address for advertising purposes will be stopped immediately.<\/p><h2>7) Page functionalities<\/h2><p><b>7.1<\/b>\u00a0YouTube<\/p><p>This website uses plugins to display and play videos from the following provider: Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland<\/p><p>Data may also be transferred to: Google LLC., USA<\/p><p>When you access a page of our website that contains such a plugin, your browser establishes a direct connection to the provider's servers, at the latest when the video is played, in order to load the content. Certain information, including your IP address, is transmitted to the provider in the process.<\/p><p>When playback of embedded videos is started via the plugin, the provider also uses cookies to collect information on user behaviour, compile playback statistics and prevent abusive behaviour.<\/p><p>If you are logged into a user account with the provider during your visit to the site, your data will be directly associated with your account when you click on a video. If you do not wish for this association with your account, you must log out before clicking the playback button.<\/p><p>All the aforementioned processing, in particular the setting of cookies to read information on the terminal device used, only takes place if you have given us your express consent to do so in accordance with Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR. You can revoke the consent given at any time with effect for the future by deactivating this service via the \u201ecookie consent tool\u201c provided on the website.<\/p><p>For data transfers to the USA, the provider has signed up to the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, which ensures compliance with the European level of data protection on the basis of an adequacy decision by the European Commission.<\/p><p><b>7.2<\/b>\u00a0Google Maps<\/p><p>This website uses an online mapping service from the following provider: Google Maps (API) provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland (\u201cGoogle\u201d).<\/p><p>Google Maps is a web service for displaying interactive maps in order to present geographical information visually. By using this service, our location is displayed to you and any potential journey is made easier.<\/p><p>As soon as you access any sub-pages on which the Google Maps map is embedded, information about your use of our website (such as your IP address) is transmitted to Google\u2019s servers and stored there; this may also involve transmission to the servers of Google LLC in the USA. This occurs regardless of whether Google provides a user account through which you are logged in or whether a user account exists. If you are logged in to Google, your data will be directly linked to your account. If you do not wish your data to be linked to your Google profile, you must log out before clicking the button. Google stores your data (even for users who are not logged in) as usage profiles and analyses them.<\/p><p>The collection, storage and analysis of data are carried out in accordance with Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR on the basis of Google\u2019s legitimate interest in displaying personalised advertising, conducting market research and\/or tailoring Google websites to users\u2019 needs. You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles; to exercise this right, you must contact Google. If you do not consent to your data being transferred to Google in future when using Google Maps, you also have the option of completely disabling the Google Maps web service by disabling JavaScript in your browser. Google Maps, and therefore the map display on this website, will then no longer be available for use.<\/p><p>Where legally required, we have obtained your consent for the data processing outlined above in accordance with Article 6(1)(a) GDPR. You may withdraw your given consent at any time with effect for the future. To exercise your withdrawal, please follow the procedure for raising an objection described above.<\/p><p>For data transfers to the USA, the provider has signed up to the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, which ensures compliance with the European level of data protection on the basis of an adequacy decision by the European Commission.<\/p><p>Further information on Google's privacy policy can be found here: <a href=\"https:\/\/business.safety.google\/intl\/de\/privacy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/business.safety.google<wbr \/>\/intl<wbr \/>\/de<wbr \/>\/privacy<wbr \/>\/<\/a><\/p><h2>8) Tools and Miscellaneous<\/h2><p>Cookie consent tool<\/p><p>This website uses a so-called \u201ecookie consent tool\u201c to obtain valid user consent for cookies and cookie-based applications that require consent.

Through the use of this tool, all cookies\/services requiring consent are only loaded if the respective user gives the corresponding consent by ticking the boxes. This ensures that such cookies are only placed on the user's respective end device if consent has been given.<\/p><p>The tool sets technically necessary cookies to save your cookie preferences. As a general rule, personal user data is not processed in the process.<\/p><p>If, in individual cases, the processing of personal data (such as the IP address) does occur for the purpose of storing, assigning or logging cookie settings, this is carried out in accordance with Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest in legal, user-specific and user-friendly consent management for cookies and, consequently, in a legally compliant design of our website.<\/p><p>A further legal basis for the processing is also Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR.
