. The controller responsible for processing personal data is the natural or legal person who alone or jointly with others determines the purposes and means of processing personal data.

2) Data Collection When Visiting Our Website

2.1 When using our website for informational purposes only, i.e., if you do not register or otherwise transmit information to us, we only collect data that your browser transmits to the page server (so-called “server log files”). When you access our website, we collect the following data that is technically necessary for us to display the website to you:

Our visited website
Date and time at the time of access
Amount of data sent in bytes
Source/reference from which you accessed the page
Browser used
Operating system used
IP address used (if applicable: in anonymized form)

Processing is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. 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 otherwise used. However, we reserve the right to review the server log files retrospectively if there are concrete indications of unlawful use.

2.2 For security reasons and to protect the transmission of personal data and other confidential content (e.g., orders or inquiries to the controller), this website uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the character string “https://” and the lock symbol in your browser line.

3) Hosting & Content Delivery Network

For hosting our website and displaying the page content, we use a provider who performs its services itself or through selected subcontractors exclusively on servers within the European Union.

All data collected on our website is processed on these servers.

We have concluded a data processing agreement with the provider that ensures the protection of the data of our website visitors and prohibits unauthorized disclosure to third parties.

4) Cookies

In order to make visiting our website attractive and to enable the use of certain functions, we use cookies, i.e., small text files that are stored on your device. Some of these cookies are automatically deleted after closing the browser (so-called “session cookies”), while others remain on your device for a longer period and enable the saving of page settings (so-called “persistent cookies”). In the latter case, you can find the storage duration in the overview of your web browser’s cookie settings.

If personal data is also processed by individual cookies used by us, processing is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. b GDPR either for the performance of the contract, in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR in the case of consent given, or in accordance with Art. 6 (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 website visit.

You can configure your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies and can decide individually on their acceptance or exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general.

Please note that if cookies are not accepted, the functionality of our website may be limited.

5) Contact

When contacting 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 responding to your inquiry or for contacting you and the associated technical administration.

The legal basis for processing this data is our legitimate interest in responding to your request in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR. If your contact aims at concluding a contract, the additional legal basis for processing is Art. 6 (1) lit. b GDPR. Your data will be deleted after your request has been finally processed. This is the case if it can be inferred from the circumstances that the matter concerned has been conclusively clarified and provided that no statutory retention obligations prevent deletion.

6) Use of Customer Data for Direct Advertising

6.1 Subscription to our Email Newsletter

If you subscribe to our email newsletter, we will regularly send you information about our offers. The only mandatory information required for sending the newsletter is your email address. The provision of further data is voluntary and will be used to address you personally. For sending the newsletter, we use the so-called double opt-in procedure. This means that we will only send you an email newsletter once you have expressly confirmed that you consent to receiving the newsletter. We will then send you a confirmation email asking you to confirm by clicking a corresponding link that you wish to receive the newsletter in the future.

By activating the confirmation link, you grant us your consent to use your personal data in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR. When registering for the newsletter, we store the IP address entered by your Internet Service Provider (ISP) as well as the date and time of registration in order to be able to trace possible misuse of your email address at a later point in time. The data collected by us when registering for the newsletter is used exclusively for the purpose of advertising by means of 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. After unsubscribing, your email address will be immediately deleted from our newsletter distribution list unless you have expressly consented to further use of your data or we reserve the right to use data beyond this, which is legally permitted and about which we inform you in this declaration.

6.2 Sending the Email Newsletter to Existing Customers

If you have provided us with your email address when purchasing goods or services, we reserve the right to regularly send you offers for similar goods or services from our range by email. According to Section 7 (3) of the German Unfair Competition Act (UWG), we are not required to obtain separate consent from you for this purpose. Data processing in this respect is carried out solely on the basis of our legitimate interest in personalized direct advertising in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR. If you have initially objected to the use of your email address for this purpose, no email will be sent by us.

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. For this, you will only incur transmission costs according to the basic rates. Upon receipt of your objection, the use of your email address for advertising purposes will be stopped immediately.

7) Online Marketing

ADCELL Affiliate Partner Program

We participate in the affiliate program of the following provider: Firstlead GmbH, Rosenfelder St. 15-16, 10315 Berlin, Germany

In this context, we have placed links on our website that lead to offers on websites of the provider or third parties (“partner sites”).

To measure the success of an affiliate link, to evaluate orders generated via such a link and for the corresponding billing of commission payments, the provider uses cookies and/or comparable technologies, which are generally set on the partner sites and for which we are not responsible under data protection law. In this context, the provider regularly also processes the IP address and, if applicable, other device information.

All processing described above, in particular the reading or storing of information on the device you use, only takes place if you have given your express consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR. You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future by using the cookie consent management options on the partner sites.

8) Web Analytics Services

Google Analytics 4

This website uses Google Analytics 4, a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland (“Google”), which enables analysis of your use of our website.

By default, no cookies are used by Google Analytics 4 when visiting the website unless you expressly consent to cookies. Instead, information about your usage behavior is collected and processed by means of so-called pings (small data packets sent to the host of a device). The scope of this information also includes your IP address, which is, however, shortened by Google by the last digits to exclude direct personal reference.

The information is transmitted to Google servers and further processed there. Transfers to Google LLC based in the USA are also possible.

Google uses the collected information on our behalf to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity for us, and to provide further services related to website usage and internet usage. The shortened IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics is not merged with other Google data. The data collected in the context of using Google Analytics 4 is stored for a period of two months and then deleted.

All processing described above, including data transmission by “pings” and the possible setting of Google Analytics cookies, only takes place if you have given us your express consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR.

Without your consent, Google Analytics 4 will not be used during your visit to the website. You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future. To exercise your right of withdrawal, please deactivate this service via the “cookie consent tool” provided on the website.

We have concluded a data processing agreement with Google that ensures the protection of the data of our website visitors and prohibits unauthorized disclosure to third parties.

Further legal information on Google Analytics 4 can be found at https://business.safety.google/intl/en/privacy/
, https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en&gl=en
and at https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites

Demographic Features
Google Analytics 4 uses the special function “demographic features” and can create statistics that make statements about the age, gender, and interests of website visitors. This is done by analyzing advertising and information from third-party providers. This allows target groups for marketing activities to be identified. However, the collected data cannot be assigned to a specific person and is deleted after being stored for two months.

Google Signals
As an extension of Google Analytics 4, Google Signals may be used on this website to create cross-device reports. If you have activated personalized ads and linked your devices to your Google account, Google may, subject to your consent to the use of Google Analytics pursuant to Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR, analyze your usage behavior across devices and create database models, including for cross-device conversions. We do not receive any personal data from Google, only statistics. If you wish to stop cross-device analysis, you can deactivate the “Personalized advertising” function in your Google account settings. Follow the instructions on this page: https://support.google.com/My-Ad-Center-Help/answer/12155764?hl=en

Further information on Google Signals can be found at the following link: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/7532985?hl=en

UserIDs
As an extension of Google Analytics 4, the “UserIDs” function may be used on this website. If you have consented to the use of Google Analytics 4 pursuant to Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR, created an account on this website, and log in on different devices with this account, your activities, including conversions, may be analyzed across devices.

For data transfers to the USA, the provider has joined the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, which ensures compliance with the European level of data protection based on an adequacy decision by the European Commission.

9) Retargeting/Remarketing and Conversion Tracking

Meta Pixel

Within our online offering, we use the service “Meta Pixel” of the following provider: Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Dublin 2, Ireland (“Meta”)

If a user clicks on an advertisement placed by us on Facebook and/or Instagram, the URL of our linked page is extended by a parameter with the help of “Meta Pixel.” This URL parameter is then entered into the user’s browser after redirection via a cookie set by our linked page itself.

On the one hand, this enables Meta to determine visitors to our online offering as a target group for the display of advertisements (so-called “ads”). Accordingly, we use the service to display the Facebook and/or Instagram ads placed by us only to users who have also shown interest in our online offering or who have certain characteristics (e.g., interests in certain topics or products determined based on the websites visited), which we transmit to Meta (so-called “Custom Audiences”).

On the other hand, the “Meta Pixel” can be used to track whether users were redirected to our website after clicking on an advertisement and which actions they perform there (so-called “conversion tracking”).

The collected data is anonymous for us, so it does not allow us to draw conclusions about the identity of users. However, the data is stored and processed by Meta so that a connection to the respective user profile is possible and Meta can use the data for its own advertising purposes.

All processing described above, in particular the setting of cookies for reading information on the device used, only takes place if you have given us your express consent pursuant to Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR. You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future by deactivating this service in the “cookie consent tool” provided on the website.

We have concluded a data processing agreement with the provider that ensures the protection of the data of our website visitors and prohibits unauthorized disclosure to third parties.

The information generated by Meta is generally transmitted to a Meta server and stored there; in this context, it may also be transferred to servers of Meta Platforms Inc. in the USA.

10) Website Functionalities

10.1 Facebook Plugins

Plugins of the social network of the following provider are used on our website: Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland

These plugins enable direct interactions with content on the social network.

To increase the protection of your data when visiting our website, the plugins are initially deactivated and integrated into the page using a so-called “2-click” or “Shariff” solution.

This integration ensures that when accessing a page of our website that contains such plugins, no connection to the provider’s servers is established yet.

Only when you activate the plugins and thereby give your consent to data transmission pursuant to Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR does your browser establish a direct connection to the provider’s servers. In this process, regardless of whether you are logged into an existing user profile, certain information about your device (including your IP address), your browser, and your page history is transmitted to the provider and may be further processed there.

If you are logged into an existing user profile on the provider’s social network, information about interactions carried out via the plugins will also be published there and displayed to your contacts.
You can revoke your consent at any time by deactivating the activated plugin by clicking it again. However, the revocation does not affect the data already transmitted to the provider.

Data may also be transmitted to: Meta Platforms Inc., USA

We have concluded a data processing agreement with the provider that ensures the protection of the data of our website visitors and prohibits unauthorized disclosure to third parties.

10.4 YouTube

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

Data may also be transmitted to: Google LLC., USA

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. In this process, certain information, including your IP address, is transmitted to the provider.

If playback of embedded videos is started via the plugin, the provider also uses cookies to collect information about user behavior, compile playback statistics, and prevent abusive behavior.

If you are logged into a user account with the provider during your visit to our website, your data will be directly assigned to your account when you click on a video. If you do not want the assignment to your account, you must log out before clicking the play button.
