Data Protection Declaration

Thank you for your interest in our Internet presence and our offers on our Internet pages. Compliance with data protection regulations is very important for Babgencel GmbH . The collection, processing and other use of your data in the context of the use of our Internet pages takes place exclusively in compliance with the following provisions and in accordance with the applicable data protection laws. As new technologies and the constant further development of this website may result in changes to this data protection declaration, we recommend that you read the data protection declaration again at regular intervals.

In the following, we would like to inform you which data is collected when you visit our website and use our offers on our website and how it is processed and used by us. Definitions of the terms used (e.g. "personal data" or "processing") can be found in Art. 4 GDPR.

We also explain the accompanying technical and organizational measures we have taken to protect your data.

1. responsible body and service provider

Babgencel GmbH is responsible for the operation of this website within the meaning of the Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG) and at the same time a service provider within the meaning of the Telemedia Act.

2. personal data

Personal data is information about personal or factual circumstances that can be easily and clearly assigned to you. This includes, for example, your name, your address, your telephone number or your e-mail address.

3 Scope of the collection and use of your data

I. Visiting our website
It is not necessary for you to provide personal data simply to visit our website and access the information contained therein.

We, the website operator or site provider, collect data about access to the website on the basis of our legitimate interest (see Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f. GDPR) and store these as "server log files" on the website server. The following data is logged:

Visited website
Time at the time of access
Amount of data sent in bytes
Source/reference from which you reached the page
Browser used
Operating system used
IP address used
We use this data to technically enable you to visit our website. We also use this data for statistical purposes and to improve the design and layout of our website. We store the IP address for the purposes of guaranteeing and maintaining IT security (e.g. detection and defence against so-called DOS attacks) and functionality.

The server log files are stored for a maximum of 7 days and then deleted. The data is stored for security reasons, e.g. to be able to clarify cases of misuse. If data has to be cancelled for reasons of proof, it is excluded from deletion until the incident has been finally clarified.

II Contact options

You can contact us directly via the contact options provided on our website. We collect, process and use the personal data and information provided by you via e-mail addresses exclusively for the purpose of processing your enquiry. This correspondence is stored in compliance with the statutory retention periods.

III Use of services

This website uses Google Maps to display a location map. Google Maps is operated by Google Inc, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. By using this website, you consent to the collection, processing and use of the automatically collected data and the data entered by you by Google, one of its representatives or third-party providers. The terms of use for Google Maps can be found at https://www.google.com/intl/de_de/help/terms_maps.html. You can find more details in the data protection centre of google.de: https://www.google.de/intl/de/privacy/ and https://www.google.de/intl/de/privacy/privacy-policy.html.

This website uses Google Analytics. This service is provided by Google Inc ("Google"). Google Analytics is a service provided by Google. Google uses so-called "cookies", text files that are stored on your computer. This makes it possible to analyse your use of this website. The cookie generates information about your use of this website and this information (including your IP address) is transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. The use of the "anonymiseIP" function for your IP address guarantees the shortening of the IP address by the last octet within the European Union or member states of the European Economic Area, which means that a clear assignment of the IP address is no longer possible.

The information is used by Google to analyse your use of the website. Reports on website activity are compiled for the website operator and other services related to website and internet usage are provided. Google may transfer this information to third parties where required to do so by law, or where such third parties process the information on Google's behalf.

Adverts are placed on websites on the Internet by third-party providers and Google. Google and third-party providers will use the data to place adverts on third-party websites.

Under no circumstances will your IP address be associated with other Google data. You can object to the collection and storage of data at any time with effect for the future. You can deactivate the use and storage of cookies by Google by setting your browser software accordingly by visiting www.google.de/privacy/ads and clicking on the "Opt-Out" button. Alternatively, you can deactivate the use of cookies by third-party providers by visiting the deactivation page of the network advertising initiative at www.networkadvertising.org/managing/opt_out.asp. Further information on Google's provisions can be found at www.google.com/intl/de/privacy.

If you object to the use of cookies, we would like to point out that you may not be able to use all functions of this website to their full extent.

The controller advertises this website via Google AdWords. Google AdWords is an internet advertising service that allows advertisers to place adverts both in Google's search engine results and in the Google advertising network. Google AdWords enables an advertiser to specify certain keywords in advance, by means of which an advert is only displayed in Google's search engine results if the user uses the search engine to retrieve a keyword-relevant search result. In the Google advertising

network, the adverts are distributed to relevant websites using an automatic algorithm and taking into account the previously defined keywords.

The operating company of the Google AdWords services is Google Inc, 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA.

The purpose of Google AdWords is to advertise our website by displaying interest-relevant adverts on the websites of third-party companies and in the search engine results of the Google search engine.

If a data subject reaches our website via a Google advert, a so-called conversion cookie is stored on the data subject's IT system by Google. What cookies are has already been explained above. A conversion cookie loses its validity after thirty days and is not used to identify the data subject. If the cookie has not yet expired, the conversion cookie is used to track whether certain web pages on our website have been accessed. The conversion cookie enables both us and Google to track whether a data subject who has reached our website via an AdWords ad has generated or cancelled a conversion.

The data and information collected through the use of the conversion cookie is used by Google to compile visit statistics for our website. These visit statistics are in turn used by us to determine the total number of users who were referred to us via AdWords ads, i.e. to determine the success or failure of the respective AdWords ad and to optimize our AdWords ads for the future. Neither our company nor other Google AdWords advertisers receive information from Google that could be used to identify the data subject.

The conversion cookie is used to store personal information, such as the websites visited by the data subject. Each time our websites are visited, personal data, including the IP address of the Internet connection used by the data subject, is transmitted to Google in the United States of America. This personal data is stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may share this personal data collected through the technical process with third parties.

The data subject may, as stated above, prevent the setting of cookies through our website at any time by means of a corresponding adjustment of the web browser used and thus permanently deny the setting of cookies. Such a setting of the Internet browser used would also prevent Google from placing a conversion cookie on the data subject's IT system. In addition, a cookie already set by Google AdWords can be deleted at any time via the Internet browser or other software programs.

Furthermore, the data subject has the option of objecting to interest-based advertising by Google. To do this, the data subject must go to https://www.google.de/settings/ads aufrufen from each of the Internet browsers they use and make the desired settings there.

Further information and the applicable data protection provisions of Google may be retrieved under https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245?hl=de.

On this website, the controller has integrated components of DoubleClick by Google. DoubleClick is a Google brand under which special online marketing solutions are primarily marketed to advertising agencies and publishers.

The operating company of DoubleClick by Google is Google Inc, 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA.

DoubleClick by Google transmits data to the DoubleClick server with every impression as well as with clicks or other activities. Each of these data transfers triggers a cookie request to the data subject's

browser. If the browser accepts this request, DoubleClick places a cookie on the data subject's IT system. What cookies are has already been explained above. The purpose of the cookie is to optimise and display advertising. The cookie is used, among other things, to place and display user-relevant adverts and to create reports on advertising campaigns or to improve them. The cookie is also used to avoid multiple displays of the same adverts.

DoubleClick uses a cookie ID that is required for the technical process. The cookie ID is required, for example, to display an advert in a browser. DoubleClick can also use the cookie ID to record which adverts have already been displayed in a browser in order to avoid duplication. The cookie ID also enables DoubleClick to record conversions. Conversions are recorded, for example, if a user has previously been shown a DoubleClick advert and subsequently makes a purchase on the advertiser's website using the same Internet browser.

A DoubleClick cookie does not contain any personal data. However, a DoubleClick cookie may contain additional campaign identifiers. A campaign identifier is used to identify the campaigns with which the user has already been in contact.

With each call-up to one of the web pages of this website, which is operated by the controller and on which a DoubleClick component was integrated, the Internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject is automatically prompted to submit data through the DoubleClick component for the purpose of online advertising and the settlement of commissions to Google. As part of this technical process, Google obtains knowledge of data that Google also uses to create commission statements. Among other things, Google can track that the data subject has clicked on certain links on our website.

The data subject may, as stated above, prevent the setting of cookies through our website at any time by means of a corresponding adjustment of the web browser used and thus permanently deny the setting of cookies. Such a setting of the Internet browser used would also prevent Google from placing a cookie on the data subject's IT system. In addition, cookies already set by Google can be deleted at any time via an internet browser or other software programs.

Further information and the applicable data protection provisions of DoubleClick by Google may be retrieved under https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245?hl=de.

4 Google Web Fonts

This site uses so-called web fonts provided by Google for the standardised display of fonts. When you access a page, your browser loads the required web fonts into your browser cache in order to display texts and fonts correctly. For this purpose, the browser you are using must connect to Google's servers. This informs Google that our website has been accessed via your IP address. The use of Google Web Fonts is in the interest of a uniform and appealing presentation of our online offers. This constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. If your browser does not support web fonts, a standard font will be used by your computer. Further information on Google Web Fonts can be found at https://developers.google.com/fonts/faq and in Google's privacy policy: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/.

5. data collection on our website

Cookies

Some of the Internet pages use so-called cookies, which do not cause any damage to your computer and do not contain any viruses. Cookies are used to 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 end device until you delete them. These cookies enable us to recognise your browser on your next visit. You can set your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies and only allow cookies in individual cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general and activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. If cookies are deactivated, the functionality of this website may be restricted. Cookies that are required to carry out the electronic communication process or to provide certain functions that you have requested (e.g. shopping basket function) are stored on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the storage of cookies for the technically error-free and optimized provision of its services. Insofar as other cookies (e.g. cookies for analysing your surfing behaviour) are stored, these are treated separately in this privacy policy.

Server log files

The provider of the pages automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. These are

- Browser type and browser version

- Operating system used

- Referrer URL

- Host name of the accessing computer

- Time of the server enquiry

- IP address

This data is not merged with other data sources. The basis for data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR, which permits the processing of data for the fulfilment of a contract or pre-contractual measures.

Processing of data (customer and contract data)

We collect, process and use personal data only insofar as it is necessary for the establishment, content or amendment of the legal relationship (inventory data). This is done on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. BDSGVO, which permits the processing of data for the fulfilment of a contract or pre-contractual measures. We collect, process and use personal data about the use of our website (usage data) only insofar as this is necessary to enable the user to use the service or to bill the user. The customer data collected will be deleted after completion of the order or termination of the business relationship. Statutory retention periods remain unaffected.

6 SSL or TLS encryption

This site uses SSL or TLS encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or enquiries that you send to us as the site operator. You can recognise an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from http:// to https:// and by the lock symbol in your browser line. If SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

7 Right to information, correction, blocking and/or deletion of your data

You have a right to free information about your stored data and, if necessary, a right to correction, blocking or deletion of your data.

You can revoke your consent to the collection, processing and use of data at any time with effect for the future.

If you have any questions about the collection, processing or use of your personal data, for information, corrections, blocking or deletion of data as well as revocation of a given consent, please contact: info@babgencel.de.

8. security measures

We use technical and organizational security measures to protect personal data, in particular against accidental or intentional manipulation, loss, destruction or access by unauthorized persons.

Our security measures are continuously improved in line with technological developments.

We would like to point out that, despite all security measures, it is possible for third parties to gain knowledge of or falsify this data when data is transmitted on the Internet.

9 Scope of and changes to this privacy policy

This data protection declaration applies exclusively to the use of the Internet pages offered by us. It does not apply to the websites of other service providers to which we merely refer by means of a link. We accept no responsibility or liability for third-party declarations and guidelines that are not related to our website.

We reserve the right to amend the above data protection provisions from time to time in accordance with future changes regarding the collection and processing of personal data. Significant changes will be announced by means of a clearly visible notice on our website.
