We are very pleased about your visit on our website and your interest in our company.
The protection of your personal information is very important to us. Using our website is generally possible without giving any personal data. In case you would like to use services of our website the processing of personal data can be required. If the processing of personal data is required and if there is no contract between you and our company for such processing or if there is no legal basis for such processing we will obtain your consent for data processing.
Processing personal data e.g. name, postal address, e-mail address or telephone number, user behavior ever complies with the effective regulations such as the German Federal Data Security Act (Bundesdatenschutzgesetz – BDSG) and the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
We would like to inform you about type, scope and purpose of the collected, used and processed personal data. Additionally we would like to inform you about your rights. As our services and products are addressed to professional clients in the B2B-area exclusively, we limit the information to the necessary and relevant parts for our clients according to law and as far as we deem appropriate.
Our website is protected by technical and organizational security measures in order to prevent the loss, manipulation or destruction of your personal data and to avoid access to these data by unauthorized persons. Despite using industry standard Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology for encrypting the data transferred between you and our website, complete protection against all eventualities is not possible. Of course you have the choice to transfer personal data in alternative ways e.g. giving us a phone call.
You can contact us free of charge at info@taktilesdesign.de to assert these rights.
The third-party designation shall not apply to companies affiliated with Taktilesdesign GmbH, nor shall it apply to service providers contractually bound to us for contracted data processing.
If you are using our website for purely informative purposes, i.e. if you are not registered or sending information to us in any other way, we collect only those personal data that your browser sends to our server. We require these data for technical purposes in order to display our website for you and to ensure the stability and security thereof. These data also enable us to purposefully improve our range of services. The legal basis for this is contained in Art. 6, para. 1, lit. f GDPR (eligible interest).
Upon filling out a form on our website or contacting us by e-mail, the data you have provided will only be used to process your request and will be treated confidentially at all times. If you contact us using our contact form, you must always specify your first and last name, your e-mail address and the country from which you are writing to us. You give us your express consent for processing these personal data for the purpose of handling your request. The legal basis is contained in Art. 6, para. 1, lit. a GDPR. You can withdraw this consent at any time.
We use Google Analytics (with de-personalization) for website analysis. Google Analytics is a web analysis service. Web analysis is rising, collecting and reporting of data regarding user behavior on websites. A web analysis service gathers among others data on from which website a person came to another website (so-called “referrer”), which under sites of a website have been accessed or how often and how long an under site has been viewed. A web analysis is predominantly carried out to optimize a website and for cost-use-analysis of internet advertisement.
The statistics obtained enable us to improve our website and make it more interesting for the user. The legal basis for the use of Google Analytics is contained in Art. 6, para. 1, lit. f GDPR.
Operating company of Google Analytics is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA.
For web analysis we use the add on „_gat._anonymizeIp“ via Google Analytics which shortens and makes anonymous the IP address of your internet connection if the access to our website occurs from a member state of the European Union or from another contracting state of the European Economic Area.
The purpose of the Google Analytics component is to analyze the stream of visitors on our website. Google uses the data and information among others to evaluate the use of our website in order to compile online reports which show the activities on our website and to provide further relevant services.
Google Analytics places a cookie on your IT system. We have explained cookies above. By setting cookies Google is enabled to analyze the use of our website. By every request of a single site of our website, in which the Google analytics component is integrated, your internet browser is automatically determined to transfer data to Google for purpose of online analysis. By this procedure Google receives information on personal data e.g. IP address of the user, which serve Google among others to retrace the origin of visitors and clicks and to bill provisions.
Via cookies personal data e.g. access time, place of access, frequency of visits to our website are saved. Upon visit to our website these personal data including IP address of your internet connection is transferred to Google in the U.S.A.. Google might pass on the elevated personal data to third parties via this technical procedure. As mentioned above you can prevent cookies from setting by our website or deleting them at any time by changing the browser settings or other software programs. Please visit www.allaboutcookies.org for more information about cookies and how to disable them. However, if you do so, some functionality of this website may be lost.
We have negotiated a contract with Google to process the data from orders of our customers and we completely adhere to the strict requirements of the German data protection agencies using Google Analytics.
This website uses the function “demographic attributes” by Google Analytics through which reports can be generated which contain information regarding age, gender and interests of website visitors. These data originate from interest related advertisement from Google as well as from third-party providers. These data cannot be assigned to a specific person. At any time you can deactivate this function in the advertisement settings in your Google account or generally ban the collection of your data by Google analytics as mentioned in “objection against data collection”. For further information and effective data security regulations provided by Google please visit https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/ , http://www.google.com/analytics/terms/en.html and https://www.google.com/intl/en_en/analytics/ .
We have embedded functions of Twitter in our website. These functions are offered by Twitter Inc., 1355 Market Street, Suite 900, San Francisco, CA 94103, U.S.A.. By using Twitter and the “re-tweet” function the websites you visited are linked with your account on Twitter and are disclosed to other users. Data is transferred to Twitter thereby as well. We point out that we as provider of this website do not receive any knowledge of the content the transferred data contains as well as their use. For further information please consult the data protection policy of Twitter at https://twitter.com/privacy. You can modify your data protection settings with Twitter at https://twitter.com/account/settings.
This website uses for security reasons and to secure the transfer of confidential content, e.g. inquiries which you send to us, the industry standard Secure Sockets Layer (SSL). An encoded connection you may recognize by watching the address line of the browser change from „http://“ to „https://“ and by the interlock symbol in your browser line. If you activate the SSL data that you transfer to us cannot be disclosed by third parties.
Art. 6 para. 1, lit. a GDPR serves our company as legal basis for processing procedures in which we obtain the express consent for a specific processing purpose. Art. 6 lit. b GDPR is the legal basis if the processing procedures are required to fulfill a contract between you and our company or measures preceding the contract. If our company is subject to a legal duty by which processing personal data is required e.g. to fulfill tax duties, the processing procedures are based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR. In rare cases processing personal data could be required to secure vital interests of the affected person or another real person. That would be the case, if e.g. a visitor was hurt in our offices and his name, social security data or other vital information needed to be forwarded to a physician, a clinic or other third parties. In these cases Art. 6 para. 1, lit. d GDPR is the legal basis. Finally processing procedures can be based on Art. 6 para. 1, lit. f GDPR which covers such cases not included by any of the aforementioned if the processing is necessary to ensure eligible interests of our company or a third party, provided your interests, basic rights and basic freedoms do not prevail.
If processing personal data is based on Art. 6 para 1, lit. f GDPR our eligible interest is conducting our business operations in support of the well-being of our co-workers.
We’d like to inform you that providing personal data is partly regulated by law, e.g. tax regulations, or can be part of contract conditions, e.g. information regarding the co-contractor. For closing a contract it might be necessary that you provide us with personal data which we need to process. Not providing personal data might have the consequence that the contract could not be closed. Before providing personal data to us you need to contact us. We will inform in every single case about the legal or contractual basis of providing personal data, if there is a legal duty for providing personal data and which consequences not providing personal data would have.
Our website may contain links to external websites. At the time of setting the link, we satisfied ourselves that the linked pages do not contain illegal content of any kind. However, we cannot ensure continuous monitoring and have no influence whatsoever on the content of the linked websites. No liability will therefore be accepted for the content after the link has been set.
We erase all personal data as soon as they are no longer required for the purpose that they have been collected for or you have exercised your right to erasure. If there are statutory retention periods or one of the other exemptions specified in Art. 17 GDPR applies, we will erase the data concerned as quickly as possible.
