The use of All-Inkl is based on Art. 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. We have a legitimate interest in ensuring that our website is displayed as reliably as possible. If consent has been requested, processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR and Section 25(1) of the TTDSG, insofar as the consent covers the storage of cookies or access to information on the user’s device (e.g., device fingerprinting) within the meaning of the TTDSG. Consent may be revoked at any time.

Data Processing on Behalf of a Client

We have entered into a data processing agreement (DPA) for the use of the aforementioned service. This is a contract required under data protection law that ensures that the service provider processes the personal data of our website visitors only in accordance with our instructions and in compliance with the GDPR.

Privacy Policy
The operators of this website take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with statutory data protection regulations as well as this privacy policy.

When you visit this website, various types of personal data are collected. Personal data is data that can be used to personally identify you. This privacy policy explains what data we collect and how we use it. It also explains how and for what purpose this is done.

Please note that data transmission over the Internet (e.g., when communicating via email) may be subject to security vulnerabilities. It is not possible to completely protect data from access by third parties.

Information on the Data Controller
The data controller for data processing on this website is:

Matworks GmbH
Materials Engineering Solutions
Gartenstraße 133
73430 Aalen

Phone: +49 7361 99904-0
Email: info@matworks.de/en

The controller is the natural or legal person who, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data (e.g., names, email addresses, etc.).Verantwortliche Stelle ist die natürliche oder juristische Person, die allein oder gemeinsam mit anderen über die Zwecke und Mittel der Verarbeitung von personenbezogenen Daten (z. B. Namen, E-Mail-Adressen o. Ä.) entscheidet. 

Withdrawal of Your Consent to Data Processing
Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You may withdraw any consent you have already given at any time. To do so, simply send us an informal email. The lawfulness of the data processing carried out prior to the withdrawal remains unaffected by the withdrawal.

Right to File a Complaint with the Competent Supervisory Authority
In the event of violations of data protection laws, the data subject has the right to file a complaint with the competent supervisory authority. The competent supervisory authority for data protection matters is the State Data Protection Commissioner of the federal state in which our company is headquartered. A list of data protection officers and their contact information can be found at the following links: https://www.bfdi.bund.de/DE/Infothek/Anschriften_Links/anschriften_links-node.html.

Right to Data Portability
You have the right to have data that we process automatically—based on your consent or in fulfillment of a contract—provided to you or to a third party in a commonly used, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only take place to the extent that it is technically feasible.

SSL or TLS Encryption
For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential information—such as orders or inquiries you send to us as the site operator—this site uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the address bar of your browser changes from “https://” to “https://” and by the lock icon in your browser’s address bar.

When SSL or TLS encryption is enabled, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

Access, Restriction, Deletion
In accordance with applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to receive, free of charge, information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients, and the purpose of data processing, as well as the right to have this data corrected, restricted, or deleted, if applicable. For this and any other questions regarding personal data, you may contact us at any time at the address provided in the legal notice.

Objection to Advertising Emails
We hereby object to the use of contact information published in accordance with the legal notice requirement for the purpose of sending unsolicited advertising and informational materials. The operators of this website expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of the unsolicited transmission of advertising information, such as through spam emails.

Cookies
Some of these web pages use so-called cookies. Cookies do not harm your computer and do not contain viruses. Cookies help make our website more user-friendly, effective, and secure. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer and saved by your browser.

Most of the cookies we use are so-called “session cookies.” They are automatically deleted at the end of your visit. Other cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them. These cookies allow us to recognize your browser the next time you visit.

You can configure your browser to notify you when cookies are set and to allow cookies only on a case-by-case basis, to block cookies in specific cases or generally, and to enable the automatic deletion of cookies when you close your browser. Disabling cookies may limit the functionality of this website.

Cookies that are necessary for the electronic communication process or for providing certain functions you have requested (e.g., the shopping cart function) are stored pursuant to Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing cookies to ensure the technically error-free and optimized provision of its services. To the extent that other cookies (e.g., cookies used to analyze your browsing behavior) are stored, these are addressed separately in this Privacy Policy.

Server Log Files

The website provider automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. These include:

• Browser type and browser version
• Operating system used
• Referrer URL
• Hostname of the accessing computer
• Time of the server request
• IP addressThis data is not merged with other data sources.

The legal basis for data processing is Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR, which permits the processing of data for the performance of a contract or pre-contractual measures.

Contact Form

If you submit inquiries to us via the contact form, the information you provide in the form—including the contact details you enter there—will be stored by us for the purpose of processing your inquiry and in case of follow-up questions. We will not disclose this data without your consent.

The processing of data entered into the contact form is therefore based exclusively on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). You may revoke this consent at any time. To do so, simply send us an informal email. The lawfulness of data processing operations carried out prior to revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

The data you enter in the contact form will remain with us until you request that we delete it, revoke your consent to its storage, or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies (e.g., after your inquiry has been processed). Mandatory legal provisions—in particular retention periods—remain unaffected.

Storage of IP Addresses

Our comment feature stores the IP addresses of users who post comments. Since we do not review comments on our site before they are published, we need this data to be able to take action against the author in the event of legal violations such as insults or propaganda.

Subscribing to Comments

As a user of the site, you can subscribe to comments after logging in. You will receive a confirmation email to verify that you are the owner of the email address provided. You can unsubscribe from this feature at any time via a link in the notification emails. In this case, the data entered when subscribing to comments will be deleted; however, if you have provided this data to us for other purposes or elsewhere (e.g., newsletter subscription), it will remain with us.

Retention Period for Comments

Comments and associated data (e.g., IP address) are stored and remain on our website until the content being commented on has been completely deleted or the comments must be deleted for legal reasons (e.g., offensive comments).

Legal Basis

Comments are stored based on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). You may revoke your consent at any time. To do so, simply send us an informal email. The lawfulness of any data processing that has already taken place remains unaffected by the revocation.

Google Analytics

This website uses features of the web analytics service Google Analytics. The provider is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.

Google Analytics uses so-called “cookies.” These are text files that are stored on your computer and enable an analysis of your use of the website. The information generated by the cookie regarding your use of this website is generally transmitted to a Google server in the United States and stored there.

Google Analytics cookies are stored on the basis of Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in analyzing user behavior in order to optimize both its website and its advertising.

Browser Plugin

You can prevent cookies from being stored by adjusting your browser settings accordingly; however, please note that in this case, you may not be able to use all features of this website to their full extent. You can also prevent Google from collecting the data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address), as well as from processing this data, by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de.

Objection to Data Collection

You can prevent Google Analytics from collecting your data by clicking the following link. An opt-out cookie will be set to prevent the collection of your data during future visits to this website: Disable Google Analytics.

For more information on how Google Analytics handles user data, please see Google’s Privacy Policy: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245?hl=de.

Demographic Features in Google Analytics

This website uses the “demographic features” function of Google Analytics. This allows reports to be generated that provide information about the age, gender, and interests of site visitors. This data comes from Google’s interest-based advertising as well as from third-party visitor data. This data cannot be associated with any specific individual. You can disable this feature at any time via the ad settings in your Google Account or generally prevent Google Analytics from collecting your data as described in the section “Objecting to Data Collection.”

Google Analytics Remarketing

Our websites use the features of Google Analytics Remarketing in conjunction with the cross-device features of Google AdWords and Google DoubleClick. The provider is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.

This feature allows the advertising audiences created with Google Analytics Remarketing to be linked to the cross-device features of Google AdWords and Google DoubleClick. In this way, interest-based, personalized advertising messages—which have been tailored to you based on your previous usage and browsing behavior on one device (e.g., a cell phone)—can also be displayed on another of your devices (e.g., a tablet or PC).

If you have given your consent, Google will link your web and app browsing history to your Google Account for this purpose. This allows the same personalized ads to be displayed on any device on which you sign in with your Google Account.

To support this feature, Google Analytics collects Google-authenticated user IDs, which are temporarily linked to our Google Analytics data to define and create audiences for cross-device advertising.

You can permanently opt out of cross-device remarketing/targeting by disabling personalized ads in your Google Account; to do so, follow this link: https://www.google.com/settings/ads/onweb/.

The consolidation of the collected data in your Google Account is based exclusively on your consent, which you can provide to or revoke with Google (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). For data collection processes that are not consolidated in your Google Account (e.g., because you do not have a Google Account or have objected to the consolidation), the collection of data is based on Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. The legitimate interest arises from the fact that the website operator has an interest in the anonymized analysis of website visitors for advertising purposes.For more information and the privacy policy, please see Google’s Privacy Policy at: https://www.google.com/policies/technologies/ads/.

Our company maintains online presences on various social media platforms. In doing so, we process data from active users of these online presences in order to communicate with them there or to provide information about PackPart. This processing is based on our legitimate interests in effectively informing users and communicating with them under the applicable terms and conditions of the respective social media platform, in accordance with Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. If you, as a user of the respective social media platform, are asked to consent to data processing (e.g., by checking a box), the legal basis for the processing is Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR.

To the extent that we have the technical capability to influence the data processing operations relevant under data protection law on the respective social media platforms you access, we will exercise this capability in accordance with the principle of data minimization as set forth in Article 5(1)(c) of the GDPR. Please note, however, that your use of the respective social networks is subject to their terms of service and data processing policies. Therefore, it cannot be ruled out that your data may also be processed outside the European Union. As a result, on the one hand, it may be more difficult to enforce your rights. On the other hand, when using the functionalities of social networks,

To the extent that we have the technical capability to influence the data processing operations—as defined by data protection law—carried out by the respective social media platforms you access, we will exercise this capability in accordance with the principle of data minimization as set forth in Article 5(1)(c) of the GDPR. Please note, however, that your use of the respective social networks is subject to their terms of service and data processing policies. Therefore, it cannot be ruled out that your data may also be processed outside the European Union. As a result, it may be more difficult for you to exercise your rights. On the other hand, the data generated when using social media features may also be analyzed and processed for market research and advertising purposes. This occurs when your usage behavior and the resulting interests and preferences are stored as usage profiles in cookies, and advertisements based on this information—which are presumed to correspond to your interests—are displayed both within and outside the social media platforms (online marketing). Furthermore, if you, as a user, are a member of the respective social networks and are logged in to them, data that is independent of the devices you use may also be stored in the usage profiles.

Information and guidance regarding the specific forms of data processing and opt-out options can be found in the privacy policies and disclosures provided by the operators of the respective social networks. Since only the respective social network operators have access to the data processed there, you would need to submit any requests for information and exercise your rights as a data subject directly with them. If you need our assistance with this, we will of course be happy to help you.
