For more information on terms of use and privacy, please visit the Google “Privacy Policy & Terms of Use” page.
In order to adapt our website to the needs of our customers, visits to our website are analysed. To do this, we use your IP address, which we previously make anonymous (and possibly similar numbers that are exchanged between computers during normal Internet use). This is done with the intention of being able to carry out an analysis. Among other things, this involves the analysis of the data of the websites visited via the Cobiax Deutschland GmbH website, your browser and your computer.
Cookies are also set for this purpose. Our cookie only contains a unique number so that we can recognize you on our websites – but not on third-party websites. The stored data is evaluated exclusively for statistical purposes. The IP address is not associated with a particular person.
Our website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc. Google Analytics uses what are known as “cookies”, text files stored on your computer that allow your use of the website to be analysed. Information generated by the cookie about your use of this website (including your IP address) is normally transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there, as soon as you have given your consent for this to happen.
IP anonymisation has been enabled on our website. Therefore, the user’s IP address is first shortened by Google within the member states of the European Union or in other contracting parties to the European Economic Area agreement. The full IP address is only transferred to a Google server in the US and shortened there in exceptional cases, if your consent has been provided. Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website on behalf of the operator of this website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide us with other services related to website and internet use. The IP-address transferred from your browser by Google Analytics is not merged with other information held by Google. The placement of cookies can be disabled by changing your browser software’s settings as appropriate. However, if the placement of cookies has been disabled, you may no longer be able to use the full functionality of this website.

More information regarding terms of use and data protection can be found on Google’s page “Privacy Policy & Terms of Use“. Please note that this website uses Google Analytics with the code extension “anonymizeIp” to ensure the anonymous collection of IP addresses (what is known as IP masking) and to prevent any direct personal identification.
This site uses so-called Web Fonts for the uniform representation of fonts. Provider is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheater Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. When you visit our page, your browser loads the required Web Fonts into your browser cache to display texts and fonts correctly.
Google Web Fonts is hosted on our local servers, so your personal information for using Google Web Fonts is stored only on our local servers and is not redirected to the provider. The use of Google Web Fonts is in the interest of a consistent and attractive presentation of our online services. This constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.
If your browser does not support Web Fonts, a default font will be used by your computer.

Legislators have issued various retention periods and obligations. The corresponding data is routinely deleted after the expiry of these periods. Should data not be affected by the statutory retention periods and obligations, they will be deleted and made anonymous, provided that the purposes stated in this data protection declaration no longer apply. If no other provisions regarding the duration of data storage arise from this data protection declaration, the data collected by us will be stored for as long as they are necessary for the above purposes for which they were collected.
Further processing or use of your personal data will only occur if this is permitted by a legal regulation or if you have agreed to the data processing or use. If further processing takes place for a different purpose than the one for which the data was originally collected, you will be informed about the other purposes before further processing occurs and will receive the other relevant information.
We shall retain information, in particular your IP address, for a maximum of 14 days for the purpose of detecting and tracking abuse. The legal reason for this is Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The data retention period of 14 days is based on our legitimate interest in maintaining the proper performance of our website and the transactions conducted via it, as well as to be able to defend against cyber-attacks and similar. We may use anonymous usage information to customise our website.

You have the right to request that we immediately and free of charge correct personal data about you if it is incorrect (Art. 16 GDPR). Please contact us by post or email at the addresses below for this purpose as well.
Furthermore, you have the right to demand the immediate and free deletion (“right to be forgotten”) of the personal data relating to you if the legal reasons as described in Art. 17 GDPR exist.

If you wish to have your data deleted immediately, please contact us by post or email at the addresses below.
You have the right to demand the restriction of processing free of charge if the conditions are met according to Art. 18 GDPR. The restriction of processing can be required in cases where the processing is irregular and the data subject refuses the deletion of the personal data and instead demands the restriction of the use of the personal data. Furthermore, the restriction of processing might be required in the event that the data subject has objected to the processing according to Article 21(1) of the GDPR and it has not yet been confirmed whether our legitimate grounds for the processing are overriding your grounds. To demand the restriction of processing, please contact us by post or email at the addresses below.
Furthermore, you are entitled to data portability in accordance with Art. 20 GDPR. This is your right to receive the data that concerns you and is available to us in a common, structured and machine-readable format and to transfer this data to another controller, such as another service provider. This presupposes that the data processing is based on a consent or a contract and is carried out by means of automated procedures. To exercise your rights, please contact us by post or e-mail at the addresses below.
In particular, you shall have the right to object at any time, on reasons arising from your particular situation, to the processing of personal data relating to you which is carried out, among other reasons, on the basis of Article 6(1)(e) or (f) GDPR, in accordance with Article 21 GDPR.
