3. Access to our website

When you visit our website, we process personal data in order to guarantee the smooth, functional and secure operation of our website. The following data may be processed (so-called log files):

- Operating system and current IP address (last octet shortened) of the end device with which you visit our website
- Browser (type, version and language setting)
- The amount of data retrieved
- Date and time of access
- The URL of the previously visited website (referrer)
- The URL of the (sub)page that you retrieve on the website
- The Internet service provider of the accessing system

The collection of log files is technically necessary in order to display our website to you and to ensure the stability and security of the website. This is also our legitimate interest in data processing. The legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR.

This website is hosted by the service provider IONOS SE, Elgendorfer Str. 57, 56410 Montabaur, with whom we have concluded a data processing agreement.

Your data is processed in a German data centre and anonymised immediately after collection.

4. Contact forms

If you contact us via our form, we require the data marked as mandatory fields. You can also contact us via our website regarding possible funding for your refurbishment project via the Kreditanstalt für Wiederaufbau (KfW) and the Federal Ministry of Economics and Export Control (BAFA), as well as for other requests for quotations. As part of such an enquiry, we may process your name, e-mail address, home address, telephone number and information on the buildings to be refurbished. The mandatory information, without which contact is not possible, is marked with an asterisk. The data is processed on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b GDPR as part of the initiation or implementation of pre-contractual measures or on the basis of our legitimate interest in processing and responding to your other concerns in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR. Further information is not mandatory for establishing contact and is therefore provided voluntarily on the basis of your consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR. Your personal data will be deleted - subject to statutory retention periods - as soon as the purpose of storage no longer applies, i.e. your request has been fully processed and no further communication with you is required or requested by you.

We work together with Microsoft Corporation, One Microsoft Way, Redmond, Washington98052, USA, to provide the contact form. The data is generally processed in the EU. However, as a data transfer to Microsoft in the USA (third country) cannot be completely ruled out, an order processing contract has been concluded with Microsoft using the EU standard contractual clauses. The EU standard contractual clauses are available on the website of the European Commission.

5. Google Tag Manager

We use the service called GoogleTag Manager from Google of Google Ireland Ltd, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. Google Tag Manager enables us to integrate scripts and plug-ins into our website faster and more user-friendly.

We have concluded a data processing agreement with Google. Google Tag Manager is an auxiliary service and processes personal data itself only for technically necessary purposes. The Google Tag Manager ensures that other components are loaded, which in turn may collect data under certain circumstances. The Google Tag Manager does not access this data.

The legal basis is your voluntary consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR.  You can revoke your consent at any time via our consent management with effect for the future.

6.1 Google Analytics

Our website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google, Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. The cookie used for this purpose enables us to analyse the use of our website. Google uses this information on our behalf to analyse the use of our website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide us with other services relating to website activity and internet usage. The information generated by the cookie may also be transmitted to a Google LLC server in the USA and stored there. On our website, Google Analytics has therefore been extended by the code "anonymizeIp" to ensure anonymised collection of IP addresses (so-called IP masking). This means that the IP address of the user is first truncated by Google within member states of the European Union or in other signatory states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA (third country) and truncated there. The IP address transmitted by the browser used as part of Google Analytics is not merged with other Google data. We have concluded an order processing contract with Google using the EU standard contractual clauses. The EU standard contractual clauses are available on the website of the European Commission. The legal basis for the use of Google Analytics is your consent in accordance with Section 25 (1) sentence 1 TTDSG, Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. a GDPR, which you can revoke via the cookie banner and also at any time without giving reasons with effect for the future in cookie management. The personal data processed by Google Analytics is stored for 14 months and then automatically deleted.

6.2 Google Adsense

We use the Google Adsense advertising service from Google (Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland) on our website. Google Adsense enables us to track whether you have come to our website via an advert placed by us in the Google advertising network. As part of the use of Google Adsense, personal data such as interaction data with adverts, information stored on your end device about advertising content already displayed and your IP address are processed.

We have concluded an order processing contract with Google using the EU standard contractual clauses. The EU standard contractual clauses are available on the website of the European Commission. The legal basis for the use of Google Analytics is your consent in accordance with Section 25 (1) sentence 1 of the GDPR, Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. a GDPR, which you can give via cookie management and also revoke at any time without giving reasons with effect for the future in cookie management. Your processed personal data will be deleted by us after 90 days.

6.3 Google Optimize

We use the website optimisation tool Optimize on our website. The provider is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. We use the Google Optimize service to increase the attractiveness, content and functionality of our website by displaying new functions and content to a percentage of our users and statistically analysing the change in usage.

Google processes some or all of your data in the USA. We have concluded an order processing contract with Google using the EU standard contractual clauses. The EU standard contractual clauses are available on the website of the European Commission. We use Google Optimize with activated IP anonymisation, so that your IP address is shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area.

Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and truncated there. The legal basis for the use of Google Optimize is your consent in accordance with Section 25 (1) sentence 1 of the GDPR, Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. a GDPR, which you can give via cookie management and also revoke at any time without giving reasons with effect for the future in cookie management.
