Users who have previously visited our internet sites and online services showing an interest in the offer may, by way of this technology, be newly addressed with the help of targeted promotion on the pages of Google Partner Network.

Sec. 9 Facebook Remarketing

This website uses the „Custom Audiences“ remarketing function of Facebook Inc., 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, California 94025, USA („Facebook“), in the pixel variant and without the „extended comparison“ setting. Remarketing aims at presenting interest-related advertising („Facebook-Ads“) to visitors of this website as they visit Facebook as a social network.

Sec. 10 Web analysis by Matomo (formerly PIWIK)

On our website we use the open source software tool Matomo (formerly PIWIK) to analyse the surfing behaviour of our users. The software places a cookie on the user's computer (see above for cookies). If individual pages of our website are accessed, the following data is stored:

(1) Two bytes of the IP address of the user's calling system

(2) The accessed website

(3) The website from which the user has accessed the accessed website (referrer)

(4) The sub-pages accessed from the accessed website

(5) The time spent on the website

(6) The frequency with which the website is accessed

The software runs exclusively on the servers of our website. The personal data of users is only stored there. The data will not be passed on to third parties. The software is set so that the IP addresses are not completely stored, but 2 bytes of the IP address are masked (e.g.: 192.168.xxx.xxx). In this way it is no longer possible to assign the shortened IP address to the calling computer.

The legal basis for processing users' personal data is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO.

The processing of users' personal data enables us to analyse the surfing behaviour of our users. We are in a position to compile information about the use of the individual components of our website by evaluating the data obtained. This helps us to continuously improve our website and its user-friendliness. For these purposes, it is also in our legitimate interest to process the data in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO. By anonymizing the IP address, users' interest in protecting their personal data is sufficiently taken into account.

The data will be deleted as soon as they are no longer needed for our recording purposes. In our case, this is the case after (specify DURATION).

Cookies are stored on the user's computer and transmitted to our site. Therefore, you as a user also have full control over the use of cookies. You can deactivate or restrict the transmission of cookies by changing the settings in your Internet browser. Cookies that have already been saved can be deleted at any time. This can also be done automatically. If cookies are deactivated for our website, it may no longer be possible to use all functions of the website in full.

We offer our users on our website the possibility of an opt-out from the analysis procedure. To do this, you must follow the corresponding link. In this way, another cookie is placed on your system, which signals to our system not to store the user's data. If the user deletes the corresponding cookie from his own system in the meantime, he must set the opt-out cookie again.

More information about the privacy settings of the Matomo software can be found under the following link: https://matomo.org/docs/privacy/.

Sec. 11 Newsletter

If customers wish to receive the newsletter as offered on the website, Lapp requires their email address and information to the effect that examination is agreed to that respective email address owners approve receipt of the newsletter (Double Opt-In procedure).

Upon your newsletter registration we also store your computer system’s IP address as provided by the internet service provider (ISP) of the data subject at the time of registering together with date and time. Storage of these data is necessary to facilitate later tracking of any (possible) email misuse of data subjects. It also provides the person responsible for data processing with legal security.

Personal data collected within the scope of newsletter registration are used exclusively for the dispatch of our newsletter. Newsletter subscribers may be informed via email how this is operated in case of changes in the newsletter offer or concerning technical matters, if this should be necessary for newsletter registration or running the newsletter service. Within the scope of the newsletter service no collected personal data are transmitted to third parties, except our email service provider (Which TOOL?). An order management contract has been signed with (Company , ADRESS).

Data subjects may cancel their newsletter subscription at any time. As far as the newsletter dispatch is concerned the persons may equally, at any time, revoke their consent to the storage of any personal data by using the pertinent link in the newsletter. In addition, subscribers have the option to unsubscribe direct on the internet page of the person responsible for processing or to inform him through other means of communication.


Sec. 12 Chat function

Your getting in touch with us via chat on the website is enabled by NAME ADDRESS. The software uses cookies, i.e. text files that are stored on your computer, facilitating a personal conversation with you in the shape of a real time chat on the website.
We should like to point out in this context that any data you send to us freely via chat is stored to process your request and for the purpose of statistics. Only the chat record is stored. Any data in the record of the chat are neither used to identify any website visitors nor for other purposes or advertising. The chat record is deleted after one workday. The data is saved for one year.

Sec. 13 Servoconfigurator and EPIC Housing Configurator

As regards the configurators and from the data minimization point of vew we have reduced required data as much as possible. Obligatory fields must be stated to ensure an individual offer, based on your indications, may be submitted to you. Data stated in the configurator are used exclusively for the production, dispatch and negotiation about the offer under request.

Sec. 14 Storage period of personal data

Unless stated to the contrary, the criterion decisive for our stipulating of storage periods is the respective statutory safekeeping period. Data are deleted after such period has expired, provided they are no longer needed for contract performance or contract initiation.

Sec. 15 Legal or contractual rules on the provision of personal data

The provision of personal data is partly prescribed by law, e.g. tax regulations, or may be the result of contractual arrangements (e.g. statements concerning a contractual party). When signing a contract it may sometimes be necessary for data subjects to place their personal data at our disposal which, at a later stage, need to be processed by our company. For example, the data subject may be under obligation to make personal data available to us when our company signs a contract with them. A consequence of non-provision of personal data would be that no contract might be signed with the data subject. Data subjects must contact a member of our staff prior to such person making personal data available. In every individual case, our employee will advise data subjects if the provision of personal data is legally or contractually prescribed or required for signing a contract. He will also inform on possibly existing obligations to provide personal data and possible consequences of not providing personal data.

Sec. 16 Automated decision-making

There will be no automated decision-making or profiling.

Sec. 17 Legal basis of data processing

Art. 6 (I) lit. a GDPR is our legal basis for processing procedures that require us to obtain consent for specific processing purposes, especially registrations with newsletters. In the event that processing of personal data is required for contract compliance involving the data subject as the contractual partner, the processing of data is based on art. 6 (I) lit. b GDPR. As an example, this is the case with processing procedures that are necessary for the delivery of goods or the performance of a service or return service. The same legal basis also covers processing procedures needed to carry out pre-contractual measures, e.g. upon queries concerning our products or services. If our company is subject to a legal obligation requiring the processing of personal data, e.g. compliance with tax-related duties, processing shall be based on art. 6 (I) lit. c GDPR.

Sec. 18 Legal basis as per art. 6 (I) lit. f GDPR, our legitimate interests in processing

Processing procedures may ultimately be based on art. 6 (I) lit. f GDPR. Processing procedures not captured by any of the legal principles stated in Sec.14 rest on this legal basis, if the processing is required to protect a legitimate interest of our company or of a third party, providing the interest, fundamental rights and freedoms of data subjects do not prevail. A legitimate interest could be assumed, if the data subject is a customer of the person responsible (Recital 47 sentence 2 GDPR).

If the processing of any personal data takes place on the basis of art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR, our legitimate interest will be the performance of our business activity.

Sec. 19 Further information

The customer is aware that, in light of the current state of technology, no full data protection can yet be guaranteed in data transmissions via internet. As a result, and in terms of security of any data posted on the internet, the client takes full responsibility. For this reason, data subjects are at liberty to transmit their data to us via alternative options, e.g. per telephone.

Sec. 20 Contact with data protection officer

Fleximark AB places great value on their customers‘ trust. That is why Lapp is glad to answer any questions regarding the processing of personal data.
