To do this, you will generally need to provide other personal information that we use to provide the Service and for which the aforementioned data processing principles apply.

In detail, these are the following Services for which we process your personal data:

4.1 Subscribing to our Newsletters

(1) With your consent, you can subscribe to our newsletter, which informs you about our current interesting offers. The advertised offers are mentioned in the declaration of consent.

The newsletter is sent via the technical service provider CleverReach GmbH & Co. KG (Mühlenstraße 43, 26180 Rastede, Germany; „CleverReach“). For this, it is necessary that we transfer your data given in the course of the newsletter registration to CleverReach. This data is stored on the servers of CleverReach in Germany or Ireland. Our legitimate interests lie in the use of a promotional, secure and user-friendly newsletter system. The legal basis for the use of CleverReach is Art. 6 (1) subpar. 1 f) GDPR. Further information on data protection can be found in the CleverReach Privacy Policy at: https://www.cleverreach.com/en/datenschutz/.

(2) To subscribe to our newsletter, we use the so-called double opt-in procedure. This means that after you have registered, we will send you an e-mail to the e-mail address listed in which we ask you to confirm that you wish to receive the newsletter. If you do not confirm your registration within 24 hours, your information will be blocked and automatically deleted after one month. In addition, we store your IP address and times of registration and confirmation. Purposes of the procedure are to prove your registration and if necessary to clarify a possible misuse of your personal data.

(3) The requirement for sending the newsletter is your e-mail address. The specification of additional, separately tagged data is voluntary and will be used to address you personally. After your confirmation, we will save your e-mail address for the purpose of sending you the newsletter. The legal basis is Art. 6 (1) subpar. 1 a) GDPR.

(4) You can revoke your consent to the sending of the newsletter at any time and unsubscribe from the newsletter. You can revoke by clicking on the link provided in each newsletter, by e-mail to newsletter@maku-industrie.de or by sending a message to the contact details mentioned in Sect. 1 at any time.

(5) We will delete your data as soon as it is no longer necessary to achieve the purpose of its collection, your e-mail address becomes unreachable or if you revoke your consent to the sending of newsletters. Your data is therefore stored as long as the subscription to the newsletter is active.

4.2 Use of our Online Shop

(1) If you want to order in our online shop, it is necessary for the conclusion of the contract that you provide your personal data, which we need for the processing of your order. Mandatory information necessary for the execution of the contracts is marked separately and further details are voluntary. We also process the voluntary data you provided for processing your order. For order processing, we can pass on your personal data required for this to shipping or logistics companies. Furthermore, we can pass on your payment data to our house bank or the payment service provider of your choice. An overview of our payment service providers can be found in Sect. 5. The legal basis for this is Art. 6 (1) subpar. 1 b) GDPR and Art. 6 (1) subpar. 1 f) GDPR for the voluntary data you provided.

You can voluntarily create a customer account, through which we can save your data for later purchases. If you create an account under "User Account", the data you provide will be stored unless revoked. You can always delete all other data, including your user account, in the customer area.

We may also process the information you provide to inform you of other interesting offers or to provide you with e-mails regarding technical information. The legal basis for this is Art. 6 (1) subpar. 1 f) GDPR.

(2) Due to commercial and tax law requirements, we are obliged to save your address, payment and order data for a period of ten years. However, after two years we are restricting processing, i.e. your data will only be used to comply with legal obligations.

8. Google AdWords Conversion

(1) Our WEBSITE uses the offer of Google AdWords, a service by the company Google Inc. (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; “Google“), in order to draw attention to our attractive offers on external websites with the help of advertising materials (so-called Google AdWords). In relation to the data of the advertising campaigns, we can determine how successful the individual advertising measures are. We are interested in showing you advertisements that are of interest to you, to make our WEBSITE more interesting to you and to achieve a fair calculation of advertising costs.

(2) These advertising materials are supplied by Google via so-called "ad servers". To do this, we use ad server cookies, which measure certain performance metrics such as ads or user clicks. If you access our WEBSITE through a Google ad, Google AdWords will store a cookie on your PC. These cookies usually lose their validity after 30 days and are not intended to identify you personally. This cookie will typically save, as analysis values, the unique cookie ID, number of ad impressions per placement (frequency), last impression (relevant to post-view conversions), and opt-out information (marking that the user does not want to be addressed).

(3) These cookies allow Google to identify your internet browser. If a user visits certain pages of an AdWords customer’s website and the cookie stored on the computer has not expired, Google and the customer will be able to detect that the user clicked on the ad and was redirected to that page. Each AdWords customer is assigned a different cookie. Cookies cannot be tracked via the websites of AdWords customers. We do not collect and process any personal data in the aforementioned advertising measures. We receive only statistical evaluations provided by Google. Based on these evaluations, we can identify which of the advertising measures used are particularly effective. We do not receive any further data from the use of the advertising material, in particular we cannot identify the users on the basis of this information.

(4) Due to the marketing tools used, your browser automatically establishes a direct connection to the Google server. We have no control over the extent and the further use of the data, which are raised by the application of this tool by Google and therefore we inform you according to our state of knowledge: By the incorporation of AdWords conversion, Google receives the information that you have clicked on the appropriate part of our WEBSITE or on an ad from us. If you are registered with a service provided by Google, Google may associate the visit with your account. Even if you are not registered with Google or have not logged in, there is a chance that the provider will find out and store your IP address.

(5) You can prevent participation in this tracking process in several ways: a) by adjusting your browser software accordingly, in particular, the suppression of third-party cookies will prevent you from receiving any third-party ads; b) by deactivating conversion tracking cookies by setting your browser to block cookies from the domain "www.googleadservices.com", https://www.google.com/settings/ads, these settings will be deleted if you delete your cookies; c) by disabling interest-based ads from the providers that are part of the “About Ads” self-regulatory campaign through the http://www.aboutads.info/choices link, which will be deleted when you delete your cookies; d) through permanent deactivation in your browsers Firefox, Internet Explorer or Google Chrome under the link http://www.google.com/settings/ads/plugin.

The display of this advertising material on the pages of the Google Display Network is based on a cookie technology.

We host Matomo exclusively on our own servers, so that all analysis data remain with us and are not passed on. In our configuration, IP addresses are anonymized by six digits and do not allow any conclusions to be drawn about the actual connection. If you do not want your visits to our websites to be recorded, you can activate the 'Do not track' option in your browser and Matomo will not record any data from you. If you generally do not wish to be tracked, activate the "Do not track" function in your browser.
