Information that you provide to us when filling out forms on our website.
Other information provided when registering for our services, the publication of materials or for other services.

2.2. Collection of other information
To optimize this website in terms of system performance, user-friendliness and the provision of useful information about our products and services, we automatically collect and store information in log files on your computer. This includes your Internet Protocol address (IP address), browser and language setting, operating system, Internet Service Provider (ISP) and date/time stamp.

We use this information to efficiently administer the website, to analyze visitor behavior on our website, to analyze trends and to gather demographic information about visitors to our website as a whole. The information collected may be used for marketing and advertising purposes and for communication (e.g. optimization and improvement of user-friendliness and provision of more attractive offers and services).

3. use of cookies

The website, e-mail traffic, online services, advertising and interactive applications may use “cookies” to optimize our services.

What is a “cookie”?
A “cookie” is a sequence of text characters that we transmit via our web server to the cookie file of the browser on the hard disk of your computer. This enables our website to recognize you when a connection is established between our web server and your browser. The main purpose of a cookie is to recognize visitors to the website so that our web server can present you with a more individual and personalized website tailored to your needs.

Two types of cookies are used on this website:

Session cookies: These are temporary cookies that remain in your browser’s cookie file until you leave our website. These cookies are necessary for certain applications or functions of the website to run properly.
Persistent cookies: We may use persistent cookies for a better user experience (e.g. to provide optimal navigation). These are cookies that remain in your browser’s cookie file for a longer period of time. This period depends on the settings of your Internet browser. Persistent cookies allow information to be transmitted to a web server each time you visit the website. Persistent cookies are also known as tracking cookies.

If you would like to find out more about cookies, there are many publications available on this topic. See for example: http://www.allaboutcookies.org

4. cookies from third parties

We may use external advertising agencies for the execution of advertising measures and for the optimization of advertising measures. External advertising agencies use cookies to measure the effectiveness of advertising and to personalize advertising content. This information collected by external advertising agencies may contain data such as location (derived from the IP address) or contact details such as e-mail addresses.

5. tracking and analysis

We use the analysis software Matomo to optimize our advertising measures. This software allows online behavior to be viewed in relation to time, geographical location and use of this website. This information is collected via web beacons and/or cookies. The information obtained from the web beacons and/or cookies is anonymous and is not linked to personal data.

6. web beacons and pixel tags

Our website contains web beacons (also known as “pixel tags”). A web beacon is an often invisible electronic image, usually no larger than 1 pixel x 1 pixel, that is placed on a website or in an email that is used to view visitors’ online behavior on the website or when sending emails. Web beacons are provided by third parties, on this website by the provider “Omniture Publish”, to obtain information about the activity of visitors to our website. This makes it possible to determine from which computer, when and from which location (country/city) a particular website is accessed.

7. activation and deactivation of cookies and similar technologies

You have the option of accepting or rejecting all cookies from all websites visited by changing the settings in your Internet browser. For example, if you are using Internet Explorer version 8.0, you must do the following:

Please note that certain functions on our website and therefore the full functionality of this website will not be available if you deactivate cookies. If you do not know how to change the settings in your browser or how to delete cookies, please read the instructions provided by your browser.

8 Personal data and its use

We collect, process and store your personal data (e.g. name, address, telephone number or e-mail address in the case of an inquiry) only for the purpose of processing your inquiry or for the following purposes: marketing, market research, after-sales service, sales statistics and for contacting you as requested. We do not collect any further personal data from you if you do not provide us with this data with your consent.

Your data will only be passed on to the companies affiliated with Coverdale or the contracted service providers and processed and used there if this is necessary to fulfill your request or if you have given your consent.

They may also be located outside the European Union, but are contractually obliged to comply with the statutory data protection regulations and to protect the confidentiality of your personal data.

All personal data provided by you will be stored by us for a maximum of six months in the event of follow-up questions. If a contractual relationship is established or exists between you and us, your personal data will be stored for the duration of the contractual relationship to fulfill the same and thereafter to fulfill legal obligations (e.g. in connection with tax law deadlines) or to defend against any liability claims for the necessary duration (currently a maximum of 30 years).

9. interactions with social networks

This website does not use the original social plugins (“plugin”) of the social networks facebook.com, twitter.com, linkedin.com, xing.com and pinterest.com.

We have modified the plugins on this website so that the transfer of personal data to the social networks only takes place after the share button has been clicked.

When you press the share button, the plugin is activated and your browser establishes a direct connection with the servers of the selected social network. The content of the plugin is transmitted directly to your browser by the social network used and integrated into the website. We therefore have no influence on the scope of the data that the social networks collect with the help of this plugin and therefore inform you according to our level of knowledge:
By clicking on the share button, the social network receives the information that you have accessed the corresponding page of our website. If you are logged in to your social network, it can assign your visit to your account. If you interact with the plugins, for example by clicking the share button, the corresponding information is transmitted directly from your browser to the social network and stored there. If you are not a member of the social network, there is still the possibility that your IP address will be found out and stored.

The purpose and scope of the data collection and the further processing and use of the data by the social network after clicking on the share button, as well as your rights in this regard and setting options for protecting your privacy, can be found in the data protection information of the social network used.

10. right to information about your personal data, correction, blocking or deletion

You have the right at any time to request information about the personal data stored about you, the origin of the data, the recipients of the data and the purpose of the storage. In addition, you have the right to rectification, blocking or erasure, restriction, data portability, revocation and objection of your data in accordance with the statutory provisions. If you believe that the processing of your data violates data protection law or that your data protection rights have been violated in any other way, you can lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority. In Germany, this is the Bavarian State Commissioner for Data Protection, Wagmüllerstr. 18, 80538 Munich, phone +49 89 212672-0.

If you have provided us with personal data and would like to know whether and what personal data we have stored about you or if you would like information on the use of your data or the correction/blocking/deletion of your data, please contact us by e-mail or post at: Coverdale Team Management Deutschland GmbH, Boosstraße 3, 81541 Munich, deutschland@coverdale.de
