10. Newsletter

With your consent to the collection, processing and use of your data, you can subscribe to our newsletters on various topics, with which we inform you regularly about products, training offers, learning materials, events and news.

This means that after your registration, we will send you an email to the email address you provided, in which we ask you to confirm your newsletter subscription. In order to prove your registration and, if necessary, to be able to clarify a possible misuse of your personal data, we log the subscription to the newsletter. We save the sending of the confirmation mail and the receipt of your hereby requested response as well as the data of the registration and confirmation. The data will be used solely by Heidelberg Engineering and will not be passed on to third parties. If you do not confirm your registration within two weeks, your information will be deleted.

14. Google Analytics

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics tool provided by Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (“Google”). In the European Economic Area (EEA) and Switzerland, the service is provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. Google Analytics uses “cookies”, which are text files saved on your computer, to help the website to analyze how you use the site. The cookies are only generated if you have activated “Google Analytics” in our consent management tool Usercentrics. The legal basis is Article 6 paragraph 1 s. 1 lit. a GDPR.

The information generated by the cookies and regarding your behavior when using the website (including your IP address) will be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States. If the IP anonymization is activated, Google will truncate/anonymize the last octet of the IP address for Member States of the European Union as well as for other parties to the Agreement on the European Economic Area before transferring data. Only in exceptional cases, the full IP address is sent to Google servers in the USA and then shortened.

On behalf of the website provider, Google will use this information for the purpose of analyzing your behavior when you are using the website, compiling reports on website activity and providing other services relating to website activity and internet usage to the website provider. Google will not link your IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics to any other data stored by Google.

You may disable cookies by selecting the appropriate settings in your browser. However, please note that if you do this, you may not be able to use the full functionality of this website. Furthermore, you can object to forwarding the data collected with cookies when you visit this website (including the IP address) to Google and prevent Google from processing of data by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en-US.

You can refuse the use of Google Analytics by clicking on the following link. An opt-out cookie will be set on the computer, which prevents the future collection of your data when you visit this website: Disable Google Analytics

Please be aware that if you choose to disable all cookies, also opt-out cookies will be disabled as well.

This website uses Google Analytics with the extension “_anonymizeIp()”. With this extension, all IP addresses will be shortened what makes it impossible to link data to a particular individual. If for some reason data can be linked to a specific individual this link will be directly excluded and personal data will be deleted.

Google Analytics Terms of Service: https://marketingplatform.google.com/about/analytics/terms/us/

Google Privacy Policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en

The Google Tag Manager only manages these tags, does not set cookies and does not collect any personal data. Google Tag Manager places a pixel in your browser to collect aggregate data about tag triggering. The legal basis for the use of Google Tag Manager is Article 6 paragraph 1 s. 1 lit. f GDPR.

For more information about Google Tag Manager, please visit: https://www.google.com/analytics/terms/tag-manager/

16. Integration of YouTube videos

We have included YouTube videos in our online offering, which are stored on http://www.YouTube.com and are directly playable from our website. The YouTube website is operated by YouTube LLC, 901 Cherry Ave., San Bruno, CA 94066, USA ("YouTube"), a subsidiary of Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. In the European Economic Area (EEA) and Switzerland, the service is provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. These videos are all integrated in the “extended privacy mode”, which means that no data about you as a user is transmitted to YouTube if you do not play the videos. Only when you play the videos, the data listed below will be transferred. We have no influence on this data transfer. The legal basis is Article 6 paragraph 1 s. 1 lit. f GDPR.

YouTube receives the information that you have accessed the corresponding subpage of our website. In addition, the data listed in the section "Collection of personal data when visiting our website" of this Privacy Policy will be transmitted. This occurs regardless of whether YouTube provides a user account through which you are logged in or whether no user account exists. If you are logged in to YouTube, your data will be directly assigned to your account. If you do not want the assignment with your profile at YouTube, you must log out before activating the button. YouTube stores the data as user profiles and uses them for purposes of advertising, market research and/or demand-driven design of its website. Such an evaluation is carried out in particular (also for users who are not logged in) for the display of demand-driven advertising and to inform other users of the social network about your activities on our website. You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles, whereby you must contact YouTube to exercise this right.

For more information on the purpose and scope of the data collection and its processing by the plug-in provider, please refer to the provider’s privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en There you will also find further information about your rights and settings options for the protection of your privacy.

17. Integration of Google reCaptcha

During registration for the "File exchange" offered on this website, we use the service “reCAPTCHA”, Version 3, provided by Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (“Google”). In the European Economic Area (EEA) and Switzerland, the service is provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. We use reCAPTCHA to detect abusive, automated machine processing (“bots”) when entering information into the registration form. User behavior – such as mouse movements, IP addresses, or queries performed – is evaluated by reCAPTCHA to distinguish individuals from bots. So in most cases it is sufficient to simply check the box to confirm that you are not a bot. Only in exceptional cases you have to solve a text or picture puzzle.

We are legally obligated to implement appropriate technical and organizational measures in order to protect user data. reCAPTCHA is such a technical measure. Furthermore, the use of an alternative captcha variant for the registration to "File exchange" is technically not supported. The legal basis is Article 6 paragraph 1 s. 1 lit. c GDPR in accordance with Article 32 paragraph 1 GDPR.

Google does not provide comprehensive information about which personal data of the user is processed when using reCAPTCHA, but here are some examples:

• IP address of the user
• Resources loaded on the page
• whether a Google account is registered
• Cookies placed by Google
• Interactions of the user on the page
• CSS information of the page
• Date
• Language the browser is set to
• all plugins installed for the browser
• all JavaScript objects (JavaScript is a programming language with which, among other things, user interactions can be evaluated. The objects can contain any user data.)

Google will use and analyse this data even before you click on the "I'm not a robot" check box.

The information collected by reCAPTCHA is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. However, your IP address is almost always shortened beforehand by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting countries to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Your IP address is not linked to  other data held by Google unless you are logged in with your Google account while using reCAPTCHA.

For more information on reCAPTCHA, please visit: https://www.google.com/recaptcha/

For information on the purpose and scope of your data collection and processing through Google, please please refer to the provider's privacy policy. There you will also find further information about your rights and setting options for the protection of your privacy: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en

18. Use of Usercentrics

On this website we use the Consent Management Tool Usercentrics of Usercentrics GmbH, Sendlinger Str. 7, 80331 Munich, Germany ("Usercentrics"). The tool enables you to give consent to data processing via the website, in particular to set cookies, as well as to exercise your right to withdraw consent already given. The data processing serves the purpose of obtaining and documenting required consents to data processing and thus to comply with legal obligations. Cookies may be used for this purpose. The following information, among others, may be collected and transmitted to Usercentrics: Date and time of the page view, information about the browser and the device you are using, opt-in and opt-out data. This data is not passed on to other third parties. The data processing is carried out to fulfill a legal obligation on the basis of Article 6 paragraph 1 s. 1 lit. c GDPR.
