2. General notices and mandatory information

Data protection

The operator of this website takes the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with data protection regulations and this privacy policy.
A range of personal data is collected when you visit this website. Personal data refers to data with which you can be personally identified. This privacy policy explains which data we collect and what we use it for. It also explains how and for what purpose this occurs.

Please note that data transmission on the Internet (e.g. in email communication) may be subject to security vulnerabilities. The absolute protection of data against third-party access is not possible.

Information on the responsible controller

The responsible controller for data processing on this website is:

HPZ GmbH
Allmend 23
77723 Gengenbach
Germany

Tel.: +49 (0) 7803 9260-116
Email: info(at)hpz-schallschutz.de

The responsible controller is the natural or legal person who decides alone or jointly with others on the purposes and means of processing of personal data (e.g. names, email address, etc.).

Revocation of your consent to data processing

Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You may revoke consent you have already provided at any time. To do so, simply send us an email to that effect. Revocation does not affect the lawfulness of data processing conducted prior to revocation.

Right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority

In the event of violations of data protection provisions, the data subject is entitled to the right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority. The competent supervisory authority in data protection matters is the State Data Protection Commissioner (Landesdatenschutzbeauftragte) of the federal state in which our company has its registered address. A list of data protection commissioners and their contact details can be found via the following link: https://www.bfdi.bund.de/DE/Infothek/Anschriften_Links/anschriften_links-node.html.

Right to data portability

You have the right to request that we hand over data, which we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfilment of a contract, to yourself or a third party in a common, machine-readable format. Insofar as you request direct handover of the data to another controller, this shall only take place insofar as this is technically possible.

SSL or TLS encryption

This website uses SSL or TLS encryption for security reasons and in order to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or enquiries that you send to us as the website operator. You can recognise an encrypted connection by the prefix in the address line of the browser changing from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock symbol in the address bar.

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

Information, blocking and erasure

In accordance with the applicable statutory regulations, you have the right at any time to request information free of charge with respect to your stored personal data, their origin and recipient and the purpose of data processing. Furthermore, you may have the right to the rectification, blocking and erasure of this data. You can contact us at any time using the address provided in the imprint if you have any questions in this context or regarding the topic of personal data.

Objection to promotional emails

Use of the contact details in the imprint, which must be provided by law, in order to transmit unsolicited advertising and information material is hereby denied. The operator of the website expressly reserves the right to take legal steps in the event of unsolicited advertising, for example via spam emails.

3. Data collection on our website

Cookies

Parts of the website use what are known as cookies. Cookies do not inflict any harm on your computer and do not contain any viruses. Cookies are intended to make our website more user-friendly, effective and secure. Cookies are small text files that are placed on your computer and saved by your browser.
Most of the cookies we use are “session cookies”. These are automatically deleted after 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 when you next visit our website.
You can configure your browser so that you are informed about the placement of cookies and only permit cookies in individual cases, prevent the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or generally as well as activate the automatic deletion of cookies when you close your browser. The functionality of this website may be restricted when cookies are deactivated.
Cookies that are necessary for the execution of electronic communication or for the provision of certain functions desired by you (e.g. shopping basket function) are stored on the basis of Art. 6 (1f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the storage of cookies for the technically error-free and optimised provision of its services. Insofar as other cookies are saved (e.g. cookies for analysing your browsing behaviour), these shall be dealt with separately in this privacy policy.

Server log files

The provider of the website automatically collects and stores information in what are known as server log files, which your browser automatically sends to us. This information includes:

• Browser type and browser version
• Operating system used
• Referrer URL
• Host name of the accessing computer
• Time of the server request
• IP address

This data is not combined with data from other sources.
The basis for data processing is provided by Art. 6 (1b) GDPR, which permits the processing of data for the fulfilment of a contract or precontractual measures.

Contact form

When you send us requests using the contact form, we store the details you have entered in the contact form including your contact details for the purpose of processing the request and in the event of follow-up questions. We do not pass on this data without your consent.

The processing of the data entered in the contact form therefore occurs exclusively on the basis of your consent (Art. 6 (1a) GDPR). You may revoke this consent at any time. To do so, simply send us an email to that effect. Such revocation does not affect the lawfulness of data processing conducted prior to the revocation.

We retain the data you have entered in the contact form until you request us to delete the data, you revoke your consent to data storage or the purpose of data storage no longer applies (e.g. after your request is fully processed). Mandatory statutory provisions – including retention periods – remain unaffected.

4. Plug-ins and tools

YouTube

Our website uses plug-ins from the website YouTube operated by Google. The operator of the website is YouTube, LLC, 901 Cherry Ave., San Bruno, CA 94066, USA.
When you visit one of our webpages that include a YouTube plug-in, a connection is established with the YouTube servers. The YouTube server is thus informed about which of our webpages you have visited.
If you are logged in to your YouTube account, you enable YouTube to assign your browsing behaviour directly to your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account.
The use of YouTube occurs in the interest of providing our online offering in an attractive manner. This constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 (1f) GDPR.
Further information on the handling of user data can be found in the YouTube privacy policy here: https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy.

Google Web Fonts

This website uses what are known as Web Fonts, which are provided by Google, in order to display text fonts in a consistent manner. When accessing a webpage, your browser loads the necessary Web Fonts in your browser cache to display texts and fonts correctly.
For this purpose, the browser you use must establish a connection to the Google servers. Google thereby learns that our website was accessed via your IP address. The use of Google Web Fonts occurs in the interest of providing our online offering in a consistent and attractive manner. This constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 (1f) GDPR.
If your browser does not support Web Fonts, a standard font will be used by your computer.
