4. Data collection on this website

Cookies

Our websites use so-called ‘cookies.’ Cookies are small data packets and do not cause any harm to your device. They are either temporarily stored for the duration of a session (session cookies) or permanently (permanent cookies) on your device. Session cookies are automatically deleted after your visit ends. Permanent cookies remain on your device until you delete them yourself or they are automatically deleted by your web browser. Cookies can originate from us (first-party cookies) or from third-party companies (so-called third-party cookies). Third-party cookies allow for the integration of specific services from third-party companies within websites (e.g., cookies for processing payment services). Cookies serve various functions. Many cookies are technically necessary because certain website functions would not work without them (e.g., the shopping cart function or video display). Other cookies may be used to evaluate user behavior or for advertising purposes. Cookies that are required for the electronic communication process, to provide specific functions that you desire (e.g., for the shopping cart function), or for website optimization (e.g., cookies for measuring web audience) and are necessary (essential cookies), are stored based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, unless another legal basis is specified. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing essential cookies for the technically flawless and optimized provision of their services. If consent for the storage of cookies and similar recognition technologies has been requested, processing is carried out solely based on this consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25(1) TTDSG); the consent can be revoked at any time. You can configure your browser to inform you about the setting of cookies, allow cookies only in specific cases, prevent the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general, and activate the automatic deletion of cookies when you close your browser. Disabling cookies may limit the functionality of this website. Information about which cookies and services are used on this website can be found in this privacy policy.

Borlabs Cookie does not process any personal data. Your consents, which you gave when entering the website, are stored in the borlabs-cookie. If you want to revoke these consents, simply delete the cookie in your browser. When you revisit/reload the website, you will be asked for your cookie consent again.

The provider of the pages automatically collects and stores information in server log files that your browser automatically transmits to us. These are:

• Browser type and browser version
• Used operating system
• Referrer URL
• Hostname of the accessing computer
• Time of the server request
• IP-Address

Integration of these data with other data sources does not take place. The collection of this data is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the technically error-free presentation and optimization of their website – for this purpose, server log files must be recorded.

Inquiries via email, telephone, or fax

When you contact us by email, telephone, or fax, your inquiry, including all resulting personal data (name, inquiry), is stored and processed by us for the purpose of handling your request. We do not disclose this data without your consent. The processing of this data is based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR if your inquiry is related to the fulfillment of a contract or is necessary for pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective processing of inquiries directed to us (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) if it has been requested; consent can be revoked at any time. The data you send to us via contact inquiries will remain with us until you request deletion, revoke your consent to storage, or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g., after the completion of your request). Mandatory legal provisions – especially retention periods under applicable law – remain unaffected.

5. Plugins and Tools

Web analisys via Google Analytics

We use the web analytics service Google Analytics from Google Inc. on our website. This service utilizes cookies, which are text files that, when stored on your computer, allow for an analysis of your user behavior concerning our website. The cookies generate information that is transmitted to a Google server. These servers are typically located in the USA, but they follow agreements for usage within the European Economic Area and shorten your IP address before transmission to the United States as well as within the member states of the European Union. Only in exceptional cases is the IP address shortened after transmission to the USA. Google evaluates the transmitted information and provides further services to us, website operators, in this context. The storage of Google Analytics cookies is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in analyzing user behavior to optimize both its web offering and its advertising. The determined IP address is not merged with other Google services. By changing your browser settings, you can prevent the storage of cookies on your computer. However, this may be associated with limitations in display and functionality when using our website. Furthermore, a browser plugin prevents the collection and usage of data generated by the cookies. You can download it at the following link: tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

Google Maps

This page uses the Google Maps map service. The provider is Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

The operator of this site has no influence on this data transmission. If Google Maps is activated, Google may also use Google Fonts for a consistent display of fonts. When you access Google Maps, your browser loads the required web fonts into your browser cache to display text and fonts correctly. The use of Google Maps is in the interest of an attractive presentation of our online offers and an easy location of the places we specify on the website. This represents a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. If consent has been obtained for the processing, it will be based on Art. 6(1)(a) of the GDPR and § 25(1) of the TTDSG, provided that the consent includes the storage of cookies or access to information on the user’s device (e.g., Device-Fingerprinting) within the meaning of the TTDSG. Consent can be revoked at any time. Data transfer to the USA is based on the standard contractual clauses of the EU Commission.
