Data protection

The operators of these websites take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with the statutory data protection provisions and this data protection declaration.

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

Please note that data transmission on the Internet (e.g. communication by e-mail) may have security gaps. Full protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.

Note concerning the responsible authority

The data controller for this website is:

Mainka Consulting
Triebstraße 2
92224 Amberg
www.mainka-consulting.pl

Phone: +49 9621 8970 000
E-Mail: info@mainkaconsulting.com

Management: Adam Mainka, Maximilian Mainka

A controller is a 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 or similar).

Revocation of consent to data processing

Many data processing operations are only possible with your explicit consent. You can revoke your consent at any time. To do so, an informal notification to us by email is sufficient. Revocation does not affect the lawfulness of data processing that has taken place up to the time of revocation.

Right to data portability

You have the right to have data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in the performance of a contract transferred to you or a third party in a common machine-readable format. If you request a direct transfer to another controller, this will only take place to the extent that this is technically feasible.

SSL or TLS encryption

For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or requests that you send to us as the site operator, this site uses SSL or TLS encryption. An encrypted connection can be recognised by the fact that the address line of your browser changes from "http://" to "https://" and by the padlock symbol in the browser line.

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

Informing, blocking, deleting

Within the framework of the applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to be informed free of charge about your saved personal data, its origin and recipient and the purpose of data processing and, if necessary, to have this data corrected, blocked or deleted. For this purpose, as well as if you have further questions regarding your personal data, you can contact us at any time at the address given in the footer.

Objection to advertising e-mails

The use of contact data published as part of the impressum commitment for the transmission of advertising and information material not expressly requested is prohibited. The website operators expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of unsolicited transmission of advertising information, such as spam.

3. collection of data on our website

Cookies

Some websites use so-called cookies. Cookies do not cause any damage to your computer and do not contain viruses. Cookies serve to make our offer more user-friendly, effective and secure. Cookies are small text files which are saved on your computer and stored 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 terminal 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 when cookies are set and only allow cookies in individual cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies in specific cases or in general and activate the automatic deletion of cookies when you close your browser. If you deactivate cookies, the functionality of this website may be limited.

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 Article 6 (1) (f) DSGVO. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing cookies in order to ensure error-free and technically optimised provision of its services. Insofar as other cookies are stored (e.g. cookies for the analysis of your browsing behaviour), they are treated separately in this data protection declaration.

Server log files

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

Browser type and version
Operating system used
Referring URL
Hostname of the access computer
Server request time
IP address

These data are not combined with other data sources.

The basis for data processing is Article 6(1)(f) DSGVO, which authorises the processing of data for the performance of a contract or pre-contractual activities.

Contact form

If you send us an enquiry via the contact form, your data from the enquiry form, including the contact details you provide there, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the enquiry and in the event of further enquiries. We will not pass on this data without your consent.

The processing of the data entered in the contact form is therefore exclusively based on your consent (Article 6 (1) (a) DSGVO). This consent can be revoked at any time. An informal notification to us by email is sufficient for this purpose. Revocation does not affect the lawfulness of the processing operations carried out up to the time of revocation.

The data entered into the contact form remains with us until you request its deletion, revoke your consent to its storage or the purpose of its storage ceases to exist (e.g. after the processing of your request has ended). Mandatory legal provisions - in particular data retention periods - remain unaffected.

Registration on this page

You can register on our website in order to use additional functions on the website. We use the data entered for this purpose exclusively for the use of the respective offer or service for which you have registered. The mandatory information required for registration must be provided in full. Failure to do so will result in your registration being rejected.

In the event of important changes, e.g. to the offer, or in the event of technically necessary changes, we will use the e-mail addressmail provided during registration to inform you in this way.

The processing of data entered during registration is based on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) DSGVO). You can withdraw your consent at any time. To do so, an informal notification to us by email is sufficient. Revocation does not affect the legality of the data processing already carried out.

The data collected during registration will be stored by us for as long as you are registered on our website and will then be deleted. Legal retention periods remain unaffected.

4. analytical tools and advertising

Google Analytics

This website uses the functions 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 analysis of your use of the website. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is generally transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there.

Google Analytics cookies are stored on the basis of Article 6 (1) (f) DSGVO. The website operator has a legitimate interest in analysing user behaviour in order to optimise both its website and advertising.

IP anonymisation

We have activated the IP anonymisation function on this website. This means that your IP address is shortened by Google in member states of the European Union or other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area before being transmitted to the USA. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of the website, compiling reports on website activity and providing other services relating to website activity and internet usage to the website operator. The IP address transmitted by your browser within the scope of Google Analytics will not be combined with other Google data.

Browser plug-in

You may refuse the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser, however please note that if you do this you may not be able to use the full functionality of this website. You may also prevent the collection of data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) by Google and the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available at the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de.

Objection to data collection

You can prevent the collection of your data by Google Analytics by clicking on the link below. An opt-out cookie will be set which will prevent your data from being collected on subsequent visits to this website:

For more information on how Google Analytics processes your data, please see Google's privacy policy.

Processing of procurement datag

We have entered into a contractual data processing agreement with Google and fully comply with the strict requirements of the German data protection authority when using Google Analytics.

Demographic characteristics in Google Analytics

This website uses the "demographic characteristics" feature of Google Analytics. This allows us to generate reports containing information about the age, gender and interests of visitors to the site. This data is derived from Google's interest-based advertising and visitor data from third parties. This data cannot be attributed to a specific person. You can deactivate this function at any time via the advertising settings in your Google account or generally prohibit data collection by Google Analytics, as shown under "Objection to data collection".

Google AdSense

This website uses Google AdSense, an advertising integration service provided by Google Inc. ("Google"). The provider is Google Inc, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.

Google AdSense uses "cookies", which are text files placed on your computer, to help the website analyse how users use the site. Google AdSense also uses so-called web beacons (invisible graphics). These web beacons can be used to analyse information such as visitor traffic on these pages.

The information generated by cookies and web beacons about your use of this website (including your IP address) and the delivery of advertising formats will be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States. Google may also transfer this information to Google's contractual partners. However, Google will not associate your IP address with any other data stored by you.

The storage of AdSense cookies is based on Article 6 (1) (f) DSGVO. The website operator has a legitimate interest in analysing user behaviour in order to optimise both its website and its advertising.

Google Analytics Remarketing

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

This function makes it possible to link the ad target groups created with Google Analytics Remarketing to the cross-device functions of Google AdWords and Google DoubleClick. In this way, interest-based, personalised advertising messages that have been tailored to you based on your previous use and surfing behaviour on one end device (e.g. mobile phone) can also be displayed on another end device (e.g. tablet or computer).

If you have agreed to this, Google will link your browsing history for websites and applications to your Google Account for this purpose. In this way, the same personalised advertising messages can be displayed on any device on which you log in with your Google account.

To support this function, Google Analytics collects Google-authenticated user IDs that are temporarily combined with our Google Analytics data to define and create target groups for cross-device display ads.

You can permanently opt out of cross-device remarketing/targeting by deactivating personalized ads in your Google account; follow this link.

The linking of the collected data to your Google account only takes place on the basis of your consent, which you can give or withdraw at Google (Article 6 (1) (a) DSGVO). In the case of data collection processes that are not linked to your Google account (e.g. because you do not have a Google account or have objected to the linking), the data collection takes place on the basis of Article 6 (1) (f) DSGVO. The legitimate interest arises from the fact that the website operator is interested in anonymous analysis of website visitors for advertising purposes.

Further information and data protection provisions can be found in Google's data protection statement at.

Google AdWords and Google Conversion-Tracking

This website uses Google AdWords. AdWords is the online advertising programme of Google Inc. with its registered office at 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, United States ("Google").

As part of Google AdWords, we use what is known as conversion tracking. When you click on an advertisement placed by Google, a cookie is set in order to track the conversion. Cookies are small text files that your web browser stores on your computer. These cookies expire after 30 days and are not used to identify you. If you visit certain pages of this website and the cookie has not yet expired, Google and we may recognise that you have clicked on an advertisement and been redirected to that page.

Each Google AdWords customer receives a different cookie. Cookies cannot be tracked on AdWords customers' websites. The information obtained through the conversion cookie is used to create conversion statistics for AdWords customers who have agreed to conversion tracking. Customers learn the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to the page marked with the conversion tracking tag. However, they do not receive any information that identifies users. If you do not wish to participate in the tracking, you can object to this by simply deactivating the Google conversion tracking cookie via your browser in your user settings. You will then not be included in the conversion tracking statistics.

The storage of "conversion cookies" takes place on the basis of Article 6(1)(f) DSGVO. The website operator has a legitimate interest in analysing user behaviour in order to optimise both its website and advertising.

For more information on Google AdWords and Google conversion tracking, please see Google's privacy policy: https://www.google.de/policies/privacy/.

Facebook Pixel

Our website uses the visitor action pixel of Facebook, Facebook Inc, 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA ("Facebook") to measure conversions.

This makes it possible to track the behaviour of visitors to the website after they have been redirected to the provider's website by clicking on a Facebook ad. This makes it possible to evaluate the effectiveness of Facebook advertisements for statistical and market research purposes and to optimise future advertising measures.

The data collected is anonymous for us as the operator of this website, we cannot draw any conclusions about the identity of users. However, this data is stored and processed by Facebook to enable a connection to the respective user profile and so that Facebook can use this data for its own advertising purposes in accordance with Facebook's data use policy. This enables Facebook to display advertisements on Facebook pages as well as outside Facebook. As the operator of the website, we have no influence on this use of data.

For more information on privacy, see Facebook's privacy policy.

The "Custom Audiences" remarketing function can also be disabled in the ad settings section of the site. To do this, you must be logged in to Facebook.

5 Newsletter

MailChimp

This website uses MailChimp to send newsletters. The provider is Rocket Science Group LLC, 675 Ponce De Leon Ave NE, Suite 5000, Atlanta, GA 30308, USA.

MailChimp is a service with which, among other things, you can organise and analyse the sending of newsletters. When you provide data to receive newsletters (e.g. your e-mail addressmail), this data is stored on MailChimp servers in the USA.

MailChimp is certified in accordance with the "EU-US Privacy Shield". The "Privacy Shield" is an agreement between the European Union (EU) and the US to ensure compliance with European data protection standards in the US.

We can use MailChimp to analyse our newsletter campaigns. When you open an email message sent via MailChimp, a file contained in this message (a so-called web-beacon) connects to MailChimp's servers in the USA. In this way, it can be determined whether the newsletter message was opened and which links, if any, were clicked on. In addition, technical information (e.g. download time, IP address, browser type and operating system) is recorded. This information cannot be assigned to a particular newsletter recipient. It is used exclusively for statistical analysis of newsletter campaigns. The results of these analyses can be used to better adapt future newsletters to the interests of the recipients.

If you do not want MailChimp to carry out analyses, you must unsubscribe from the newsletter. To do this, we include a corresponding link in each newsletter message. In addition, you can also unsubscribe directly on the website.

The processing of your data is based on your consent (Article 6(1)(a) DSGVO). This consent can be revoked at any time by unsubscribing from the newsletter. The revocation does not affect the lawfulness of the processing operations already carried out.

The data you provide to receive the newsletter will be stored by us until you unsubscribe from the newsletter and will be deleted from our servers, as well as from MailChimp's servers after you unsubscribe from the newsletter. Data stored by us for other purposes (e.g. e-mail addresses for the membership area) is not affected.

For more details, please see MailChimp's data protection regulations at: https://mailchimp.com/legal/terms/.

Conclusion of data processing agreement

We have entered into a so-called data processing agreement with MailChimp, in which we oblige MailChimp to protect our customers' data and not to pass it on to third parties. You can read this agreement at the following link: https://mailchimp.com/legal/forms/data-processing-agreement/sample-agreement/.
