The personal data processed within the framework of this website include:

Transfer of data to a third country or international organization

We have come up with an internal concept at the company to ensure that this is the case.

Cookies

Matomo without cookies

We use the web analysis service software Matomo from the provider InnoCraft Ltd, 150 Willis St, 6011 Wellington, New Zealand, ("Matomo") on our website. This technology is used to collect information (e.g. the pseudonymized e-mail address) about the behavior of users on our site and store it on our servers. We use this information to create pseudonymized user profiles and evaluate them.

We use Matomo on our website without setting a cookie on the user's end device. If personal data are also processed in the procedures described, the processing is carried out on the basis of our legitimate interest in the statistical analysis of user behavior for optimization and marketing purposes in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f) GDPR.

If you do not agree with the storage and evaluation of the information from your visit, you can object to the storage and use for the future at any time at the click of a mouse. In this case, a so-called opt-out cookie is stored in your browser, with the result that Matomo does not collect any session data. Please note that the complete deletion of your cookies means that the opt-out cookie will also be deleted and may have to be reactivated by you.

Google Ads Remarketing

Our website uses the functions of Google Ads Remarketing. We use this to advertise this website in Google search results and on third-party websites. The provider is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland ("Google").

For this purpose, Google sets a cookie in the browser of your end device, which automatically enables interest-based advertising by means of a pseudonymized cookie ID and on the basis of the pages you visit.

The processing takes place on the basis of your express consent in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a) GDPR.

Any further data processing will only take place if you have consented to Google linking your Internet and app browsing history to your Google account and using information from your Google account to personalize ads you view on the web. In this case, if you are logged in to Google while visiting our website, Google will use your data together with Google Analytics data to create and define target group lists for cross-device remarketing. For this purpose, your personal data are temporarily linked by Google with Google Analytics data in order to create target groups.

Details of the processing triggered by Google Ads Remarketing and how Google handles data from websites can be found here: https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.

We have concluded a so-called commissioned processing contract with Google for our use of Google Analytics 4, which obliges Google to protect the data of our website users and not to pass it on to third parties.

Data are transferred to a third country (in this case the USA) or international organization. Since July 2023, there has been an adequacy decision by the EU Commission (Data Privacy Framework), which identifies the USA as a third country with a level of data protection com-parable to that of the EU. The adequacy decision can now serve as the basis for data trans-fers to certified organizations in the USA. According to the list of certified companies pub-lished by the US Department of Commerce, Google LLC is listed as a certified company.

To ensure compliance with the European level of data protection, even in the event of any transfer of data from the EU or the EEA to the USA, we have also contractually agreed the European Commission's standard contractual clauses with Google.

You can permanently object to the setting of cookies by Google Ads Remarketing by adjusting your browser settings and selecting your advertising preferences at the following link: https://www.google.com/settings/ads/onweb/.

Further information and the data protection provisions regarding advertising and Google can be found here: https://www.google.com/policies/technologies/ads/.

You may withdraw your consent at any time with effect for the future. To exercise this right, deactivate this service in the "Cookie Consent Tool" provided on the website or alternatively follow the option described above to make an objection.

Use of Google Ads conversion tracking

We use the online advertising program "Google Ads" on this website and, as part of Google Ads, the conversion tracking of Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland ("Google"). By using Google Ads, we can draw attention to our offers with the help of advertising material (so-called Google Adwords) on external websites and also measure the success of this advertising campaign. We do this in order to be able to show you advertising tailored to you.

If a user clicks on an Ads ad placed by Google, a cookie (small text file) for conversion tracking is placed on their end device. These cookies generally expire after 30 days and are not used to identify users personally. The cookie enables us to recognize with the help of Google that the user was redirected to our site by clicking on the ad.

That means cookies cannot be tracked via the websites of Google Ads customers. The information collected is used to create conversion statistics and provide us with information about the total number of users who clicked on our ad and were redirected to a page with a conversion tracking tag. However, we do not obtain any information allowing users to be identified personally.

We only use Google Ads if you have given us your consent to do so, Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a) GDPR in conjunction with. § 25 TDDDG. In the context of the use of Google Ads, personal data may also be transmitted to the servers of Google LLC. in the USA. Since July 2023, there has been an adequacy decision by the EU Commission (Data Privacy Framework), which identifies the USA as a third country with a level of data protection comparable to that of the EU. The adequacy decision can now serve as the basis for data transfers to certified organizations in the USA. According to the list of certified companies published by the US Department of Commerce, Google LLC is listed as a certified company.

However, you can also block this use by deactivating the Google conversion tracking cookie via your Internet browser under the menu item "User settings". You are then not included in the conversion tracking statistics.

You can find more information about Google's privacy policy at the following Internet address: https://www.google.de/policies/privacy

You can permanently object to the setting of cookies by Google Ads conversion tracking by downloading and installing the Google browser plug-in available at the following link: https://www.google.com/settings/ads/plugin?hl=de

Please note that if you have deactivated the use of cookies, certain functions of this website may not be available or may only be available to a limited extent.

Newsletter

If you subscribe to our e-mail newsletter, we will regularly send you information about our offers. Personal data are collected for this purpose, so you must provide your e-mail address so that the newsletter can be sent. The provision of further data is voluntary and will be used to address you personally. These data are used by us for our own marketing purposes in the form of the e-mail newsletter, provided you have given your explicit consent.

We use a so-called double opt-in procedure for sending the newsletter. This means that we only send you an e-mail newsletter if you explicitly confirm your consent to being sent the newsletter. We then send you a confirmation e-mail, which you are asked to confirm by clicking on the link in question if you wish to receive the newsletter in the future.

By activating the confirmation link, you give us your consent to use your personal data in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a) GDPR. When you subscribe to the newsletter, we store your IP address entered by your Internet service provider (ISP) as well as the date and time you subscribed as later proof if your e-mail address is misused.

You can cancel your subscription to the newsletter at any time using the link for that purpose in the newsletter or by sending an e-mail to that effect to us at marketing@meteocontrol.de. After you cancel your subscription, your e-mail address is deleted from our newsletter mailing list without undue delay and included in a black list to ensure your withdrawal of consent is also heeded.

Your consent and the data you provide (e-mail address) will be stored until you withdraw your consent.

Sending the e-mail newsletter to existing customers

If you have provided us with your e-mail address when purchasing goods or services, we reserve the right to regularly send you offers for goods or services similar to those already purchased from our range by e-mail. In accordance with § 7 Para. 3 UWG, we do not need to obtain separate consent from you for this. In this respect, data processing is carried out solely on the basis of our legitimate interest in personalized direct advertising in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. If you have initially objected to the use of your e-mail address for this purpose, we will not send you any e-mails.

You are entitled to object to the use of your e-mail address for the aforementioned advertising purpose at any time with effect for the future by sending a message to the controller named at the beginning. You will only incur transmission costs according to the basic rates. After receipt of your objection, the use of your e-mail address for advertising purposes will cease immediately.

Despite your objection, your e-mail address may still be stored for the purpose of processing the contract, but will then no longer be used for advertising purposes.

Use of shipping service provider Brevo (formerly Sendinblue)

Our e-mail newsletters are sent via this provider: Sendinblue GmbH, Köpenicker Str. 126, 10179 Berlin, Germany

Subject to your express consent in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a) GDPR, in addition to sending the newsletter, a statistical evaluation of the success of newsletter campaigns is also carried out using web beacons or tracking pixels in the e-mails sent. The opening rates and specific interactions with the newsletter content are measured. End device information (e.g. time of access, IP address, browser type and operating system) is also collected and analyzed, but not merged with other data sets. You can revoke your consent to newsletter tracking at any time with effect for the future. However, receiving the newsletter is only possible with tracking. If you do not wish to be tracked, you can no longer receive our newsletter and must unsubscribe completely.

We have concluded a commissioned processing contract with the provider, which protects the data of our website visitors and prohibits disclosure to third parties.
