III. collection of data

When you visit our website, various data is processed. A distinction can be made between exclusive informational use and the use of special functions of our website.

a. Collection of (personal) data in the case of exclusive informational use of the website

We would like to point out that in the case of purely informative use of our website, where no login, registration or other transmission of data is required, no personal data is collected. The only exception to this is data that is transmitted by your browser to enable you to visit the website. Our web server temporarily stores each access locally in a log file.

The following data is collected in the process:

  • IP address
  • Date and time of access
  • Name and URL of the accessed file
  • Amount of data transferred
  • Message whether the retrieval was successful
  • Recognition data of the browser and operating system used
  • Web page (URL) from which the access was made
  • Time zone difference to Greenwich Mean Time (GMT)
  • Content of the request (specific page)
  • Access status / HTTP status code

This data is processed for the purpose of enabling the use of the website (connection establishment) and for the purpose of system security, problem diagnosis and technical administration of the network infrastructure. The IP address is only evaluated in the event of attacks on the network infrastructure or for other reasons of data and information security.

b. Collection of personal data when using special functions of our website

In addition to the purely informational use of the website, we offer special services for which certain personal data is processed.

If you are asked to provide personal information on our website, this information is voluntary. They are used to provide you with the requested information and services in the context of your inquiries, as well as to maintain the relationship with interested parties or customers. If you do not provide us with this data, we will unfortunately not be able to provide you with the services we have presented, as we will not be able to process your request.

Your data will be treated in accordance with the statutory provisions, in particular for the purposes for which you have voluntarily provided it to us. We will only process your data beyond these purposes if you have consented to this or if we are permitted to do so by a legal regulation.

  • Contact form/ Email

The website of NEOCOSMO GmbH contains, due to legal requirements, information that enables a quick electronic contact as well as direct communication with us.

If you contact us by e-mail or via a contact form, the personal data you provide will be stored automatically. Such personal data transmitted by you to us on a voluntary basis will be stored for the purpose of processing the request or contacting you.

These forms and the whole site are protected by reCHAPTCHA v3 from Google. The privacy policy and terms of Google are accepted with the use of the forms.

  • Access to web session, documents and white papers

If you participate in one of our web sessions, access a recorded web session, download a white paper or other documents available for download, you will need to register for this and provide us with a few personal details. Your personal data will only be used for the stated purpose, unless you have given us further consent.

We base the collection of your data in this context on the legitimate interest to know to whom we pass on our knowledge, know-how of products and services.

  • Consent Manager

We have integrated the consent management tool “consentmanager” (www.consentmanager.net) from consentmanager AB (Håltgelvågen 1b, 72348 Västerås, Sweden, mail@consentmanager.net) on our website to obtain consent for data processing and use of cookies or comparable functions. With the help of “consentmanager” you have the possibility to give your consent for certain functionalities of our website, e.g. for the purpose of integrating external elements, integrating streaming content, statistical analysis, measurement and personalized advertising. With the help of “consentmanager” you can grant or reject your consent for all functions or give your consent for individual purposes or individual functions. The settings you have made can also be changed afterwards. The purpose of integrating “consentmanager” is to let the users of our website decide about the above-mentioned things and, as part of the further use of our website, to offer the option of changing settings that have already been made. By using “consentmanager”, personal data and information from the end devices used, such as the IP address, are processed by consentmanager. In addition, the processed information may also be stored on your device.

The legal basis for processing is Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. c) in conjunction with Art. 6 para. 3 sentence 1 lit. a) in conjunction with Art. 7 para. 1 GDPR and, in the alternative, lit. f). By processing the data, consentmanager helps us (according to GDPR this is the responsible party) to fulfill our legal obligations (e.g. obligation to provide evidence). Our legitimate interests in processing lie in the storage of user settings and preferences with regard to the use of cookies and other functionalities. “Consentmanager” stores your data as long as your user settings are active. After two years after making the user settings, the consent will be asked again. The user settings made are then saved again for this period.
You can object to the processing. You have the right to object to reasons arising from your particular situation. To object, please send an email to mail@consentmanager.net.

IV. newsletter

You have the option to register for our newsletter.

The data collection within the scope of the newsletter dispatch is based on your voluntary consent according to Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a DS-GVO. You give us this consent as part of a double opt-in procedure and can revoke it at any time for the future.

To subscribe to our newsletter, you must enter your e-mail address in our newsletter form and send the form by clicking on the “Send” button. We will send you a confirmation e-mail after the data has been transferred. In this e-mail you will find a button that you must click to finally complete the newsletter subscription (double opt-in).

In order to be able to send you a personalised newsletter with content tailored to your interests, we would be pleased to receive further voluntary information about you.

Revocation of consent: Of course, you have the option to unsubscribe from our newsletters at any time and to revoke the consent you have given for the future. You can do this either by clicking on the corresponding button within the newsletter or by sending an email to the following: welcome@neocosmo.de

V. integration of services of external providers

Individual pages of our website integrate third-party content. In these cases, your IP address is also recognised by the third-party provider in order to provide you with the content. These third parties thus receive personal data from you, whereby the processing of this data outside the EU cannot be ruled out.

The transfer of personal data is independent of whether you have a user account with the third-party provider and whether you are logged in via this at the same time. However, if you have a user account and are logged in, it can be assumed that the data will be assigned to your user account. To prevent this, you should log out of the third-party provider.

You have the option of preventing the execution of scripts from these providers by installing a corresponding plug-in in your browser (e.g. NoScript in a Mozilla Firefox browser). However, this may result in a restriction of the website’s functions.

  • Google Analytics

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (hereinafter referred to as “Google”). Google Analytics uses so-called “cookies”. Cookies are text files that are stored on your computer and enable an analysis of your use of the website. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there.

In the event that IP anonymisation is activated on this website, however, your IP address will be truncated beforehand by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. 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.

Google may also 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. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data. 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 can 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. To do so, access the following link and install the add-on to deactivate Google Analytics for your browser: tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. The tracking code of our website is used with an extension so that the IP addresses are processed in a shortened form. This excludes the possibility of a direct link to a person.

By using this website, you consent to the processing of data about you by Google in the manner and for the purposes set out above.

Further information can be found in Google’s privacy policy: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/, an overview of the protection and security of your data: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245?hl=de, and the Google Analytics terms and conditions: https://marketingplatform.google.com/about/analytics/terms/us/.

  • Jetpack/Wordpress.com Stats

This website uses Jetpack (formerly WordPress.com-Stats), a tool for statistical analysis of visitor traffic, operated by Automattic Inc., 60 29th Street #343, San Francisco, CA 94110-4929, USA, using the tracking technology of Quantcast Inc., 201 3rd St, Floor 2, San Francisco, CA 94103-3153, USA. WordPress.com-Stats uses “cookies”, which are text files placed on your computer, to help the website analyse how users use the site. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is stored on a server in the USA. The IP address is anonymised immediately after processing and before it is stored. 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.

If you delete all cookies on your computer, you must set the opt-out cookie again.

  • Google AdWords

This website uses Google AdWords Conversion Tracking, a web analytics service provided by Google, Inc. to improve the website and advertising activities. Google Adwords sets a cookie on your computer (“conversion cookie”) if you have accessed our website via a Google ad. These cookies lose their validity after 30-60 days and are not used for personal identification. If you visit certain pages of ours and the cookie has not yet expired, we and Google can recognise that someone has clicked on the ad and thus been redirected to our site. Each AdWords customer receives a different cookie. Cookies can therefore not be tracked across AdWords customers’ websites. The information obtained using the conversion cookie is used to create conversion statistics for AdWords customers who have opted for conversion tracking. The AdWords customers learn the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a page tagged with a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not receive any information with which users can be personally identified. If you do not wish to participate in the tracking procedure, you can also refuse the setting of a cookie required for this – for example, by means of a browser setting that generally deactivates the automatic setting of cookies. You can also deactivate cookies for conversion tracking by setting your browser to block cookies from the domain “googleadservices.com”.

  • Google Remarketing

This website also uses remarketing technology, an advertising tool from Google Inc. This technology allows users who have already visited the website and are interested in the offer to be addressed again by targeted advertising on the pages of the Google Partner Network. The advertising is displayed through the use of cookies, which are small text files that are stored on the user’s computer. With the help of the text files, user behaviour when visiting the website can be analysed and then used for targeted product recommendations and interest-based advertising. If you do not wish to receive interest-based advertising, you can disable Google’s use of cookies for these purposes by visiting the DoubleClick opt-out page. Alternatively, users can disable the use of third-party cookies by visiting the Network Advertising Initiative opt-out page.

By using our services, you consent to the processing of data about you by Google in the manner and for the purposes set out above. We would like to point out that Google has its own data protection guidelines, which are independent of ours. We do not accept any responsibility or liability for these policies and procedures. Please check Google’s privacy policy before using our website.

  • MailChimp

Within the newsletters that are sent using the MailChimp tool, recipient behaviour is analysed using so-called “web beacons”. This makes it possible to track when the email was read and which links were clicked on.

Further information can be found in the privacy policy of the Rocket Science Group regarding the MailChimp tool: https://mailchimp.com/legal/privacy/.

There are restrictions on the right to information and the right to erasure, for example according to §§ 34, 35 BDSG.

You also have the right to object to the processing of your personal data for direct marketing purposes. If we process your data to protect legitimate interests, you can object to this processing if reasons arise from your particular situation that speak against data processing.

You also have the right to be subject to an individual decision that is not exclusively automated. Likewise, you have the right to complain to a competent data protection supervisory authority.

To prevent unauthorized access or even misuse, it may be necessary for us to contact you directly to verify your request.

X. Deletion and blocking of personal data

In principle, we delete your data as soon as they are no longer required for the above-mentioned purposes, unless temporary storage is still necessary. For example, we store your data on the basis of legal obligations to provide proof and to retain data, which result, among other things, from the German Commercial Code and the German Fiscal Code. The storage periods are then up to ten full years.

In addition, we retain your data for the period in which claims can be asserted against our company (statutory limitation period of three or up to thirty years).

XI. Social-Plugins

We include social network “share” or “like” buttons on our websites / blog pages.

Facebook Social Plugins

This website uses several plugins of the social network facebook.com, which are operated by Facebook Inc, 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA (“Facebook”). You can recognize these plugins either by one of the Facebook logos (letters “f” of Facebook, button “Like” or button “Send”) or by the fact that this plugin is marked with the word “Facebook”, “Like”, “Send” or “FB”. The Facebook social plugins can be viewed at developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins.

If you visit pages of our website that are provided with such a plugin, a connection to the Facebook servers is established if you have configured your browser accordingly, and the plugin is displayed on the website by informing your browser. This transmits to the Facebook server which of our Internet pages you have visited. If you are logged in as a Facebook member, Facebook assigns this information to your personal Facebook user account. When using the plugin functions (e.g. by clicking the “Like” button or submitting a comment), this information is also assigned to your Facebook account.

We have no influence on the scope of the data that Facebook collects with the help of this plugin. According to our knowledge, Facebook receives the information that you have accessed the corresponding page of our website through the integration of plugins. By pressing the “Like” button or submitting a comment, the corresponding information is transmitted from your browser directly to Facebook and stored there. If you are not a Facebook member, there is still the possibility that Facebook learns your IP address and stores it. For more information on the collection and use of data by Facebook, as well as your rights in this regard and options for protecting your privacy, please refer to Facebook’s privacy policy at www.facebook.com/policy.php.

If you are a Facebook member and want to prevent the collection and linking of your data stored on Facebook, you must log out of Facebook before visiting our website. It is not sufficient to simply close the page. Another option is to block Facebook social plugins with add-ons for your browser, e.g. with a Facebook Blocker.

Twitter Social Plugins

This website uses several plugins of the social network twitter.com, which is operated by Twitter Inc, Twitter, Inc. 1355 Market St, Suite 900, San Francisco, CA 94103, USA (“Twitter”). You can recognise these plugins either by one of the Twitter logos (letter “t” or image of a bird) or by the fact that this plugin is marked with the word “Twitter” or “Twitter”.

When you visit a web page of our website that contains such a button, your browser establishes a direct connection with the servers of Twitter. The content of the “Tweet button” is transmitted by Twitter directly to your browser and integrated by it into your Twitter message. We therefore have no influence on the scope of the data that Twitter collects with the help of this plugin, but assume that your IP address is also collected. For the purpose and scope of the data collection and the further processing and use of the data by Twitter, as well as your rights in this regard and setting options for protecting your privacy, please refer to Twitter’s privacy policy: twitter.com/privacy

You can change your privacy settings on Twitter in the account settings under twitter.com/settings/account. If you are a Twitter member and do not want Twitter to collect data about you via our website and link it to your membership data stored on Twitter, you must log out of Twitter before visiting our website.

Google Plus

This website uses the “g+” button of the social network Google Plus, which is operated by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, United States (“Google”). The button is recognisable by the “g+” sign on a red background. When you visit a web page of our website that contains such a button, your browser establishes a direct connection with the Google servers.

The content of the “g+” button is transmitted by Google directly to your browser and integrated by it into the website. We therefore have no influence on the scope of the data that Google collects with the button, but assume that your IP address is also collected. The purpose and scope of the data collection and the further processing and use of the data by Google, as well as your rights in this regard and setting options for protecting your privacy, can be found at Googles Datenschutzhinweisen zu der “g+”-Schaltfläche. If you are a Google Plus member and do not want Google to collect data about you via our website and link it to your membership data stored at Google, you must log out of Google Plus before visiting our website.

LinkedIn

This website uses functions of the LinkedIn network. The provider is LinkedIn Corporation, 2029 Stierlin Court, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. Each time one of our pages containing LinkedIn functions is accessed, a connection to LinkedIn servers is established. LinkedIn is informed that you have visited our web pages with your IP address. If you click the “Recommend Button” of LinkedIn and are logged into your account at LinkedIn, it is possible for LinkedIn to assign your visit to our website to you and your user account. We would like to point out that we, as the provider of the pages, have no knowledge of the content of the transmitted data or its use by LinkedIn. You can find more information on this in LinkedIn’s privacy policy at: https://www.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy

Xing

This website uses functions of the XING network. The provider is XING AG, Dammtorstraße 29-32, 20354 Hamburg, Germany. Each time one of our pages containing Xing functions is called up, a connection to Xing servers is established. As far as we are aware, no personal data is stored in this process. In particular, no IP addresses are stored or usage behavior evaluated. For more information on data protection and the Xing Share button, please refer to the Xing privacy policy at www.xing.com/app/share

Youtube

This website integrates a “YouTube plugin” into its information offering. This YouTube software uses cookies for data collection and statistical data analysis. YouTube uses cookies, among other things, to collect reliable video statistics, to prevent fraud and to improve the user experience. The operator of the website receives through the YouTube cookies statistical values on the retrieval of individual videos embedded in the website without a reference to the respective user.

The embedded videos from YouTube are used within the permitted use by YouTube, which all users have to accept. If you see copyrights violated, please report it directly to YouTube.

We use embedded YouTube videos in extended data protection mode. This means that YouTube does not store cookies for a user who views a website with an embedded YouTube video player, but does not click on the video to start playback. If the YouTube video player is clicked, YouTube may store cookies on the user’s computer, but no personal cookie information is stored for playbacks of embedded videos. (Source: YouTube “Enabling enhanced privacy mode for embedded videos”) For more details, please refer to YouTube’s general privacy policy. We do not collect any personal data as part of the embedding of YouTube videos.

XII. Data security

For data security we use various measures that are adapted to the respective state of the art. These serve in particular to protect your personal data. However, we would like to point out that data transmission on the Internet (e.g. e-mail communication) is subject to security vulnerabilities and cannot be completely protected against access by third parties. In the case of particularly sensitive information, we therefore recommend using alternative methods, e.g. encrypted communication or the postal service.

Changes to the data protection declaration

In the course of the continuous development of the Internet and the changing data protection law, it is necessary to adapt this data protection declaration to the changing circumstances. Significant changes will be announced on this page in due time.

Last change / current version: October 2023
