2. collection and storage of personal data and the nature and purpose of their use

a) When visiting the website

The following information is collected without any action on your part and stored until it is automatically deleted:

• IP address of the requesting computer,
• Date and time of access,
• Name and URL of the retrieved file,
• Website from which access is made (referrer URL),

The legal basis for data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR. Our legitimate interest follows from the purposes for data collection listed above. Under no circumstances do we use the data collected for the purpose of drawing conclusions about your person.

We also use cookies and analysis services when you visit our website. You can find more detailed explanations on this in sections 4 and 5 of this privacy policy.

If you have expressly consented in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR, we will use your e-mail address to send you our newsletter on a regular basis. To receive the newsletter, it is sufficient to provide an email address.

You can unsubscribe at any time, for example via a link at the end of each newsletter. Alternatively, you can also send your unsubscribe request at any time to datenschutz@fricke.de by email. If you unsubscribe from the newsletter, your data processed for this purpose will be deleted immediately. We only store the documentation of your consent once given (opt-in and opt-out time) for a period of up to three years for the purpose of legal defense.

c) When using our contact form

For questions of any kind, we offer you the opportunity to contact us via a form provided on the website. It is necessary to provide a valid e-mail address so that we know who sent the request and can answer it. Further information can be provided voluntarily.

Data processing for the purpose of contacting us is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR on the basis of your voluntarily given consent.

The personal data collected by us for the use of the contact form will be automatically deleted after your request has been dealt with.

d) Competitions

If you register for competitions organized by Fricke Group, we will use the data you provide during registration for the purpose of implementing the participation contract, in particular for notifying you of prizes and, if applicable, for advertising our offers. Detailed information can be found in the respective conditions of participation for each competition. The legal basis for this data processing is Article 6(1)(a) GDPR, Article 6(1)(b) GDPR and Article 6(1)(f) GDPR.

e) When using the barcode scanner in the GRANIT app

Our app can use your smartphone’s camera function to recognize text on images of rating plates, appliance parts, stickers, parcels and packaging. This enables you to identify products, appliance parts and machines accurately and quickly. For this purpose, text recognition software (“OCR”) is used on your smartphone together with a simultaneous camera recording, the data is converted accordingly and then transferred to our store for searching via a server call.

• When you download our app, the required information is transmitted to the relevant app store, in particular your user name, email address and customer number of your account, the time of download and the individual device code. We have no influence on this data collection and are not responsible for it. We only process the data to the extent necessary to download the mobile app to your smartphone. When using the app, we collect the personal data described below to enable convenient use of the functions and because it is technically necessary for us to offer you the functions of our app and to ensure stability and security:

• When using our app, the same data is collected as when using our website, listed under point 2a of this privacy policy, to which we refer.

f) When registering for our WhatsApp newsletter

By sending a start message, you agree to the validity of Fricke Group’s internal data protection regulations.

In particular, you consent to your personal data (surname and first name, telephone number, messenger ID, IP address, profile picture and message history) being stored, processed and used to send messages to you when using the respective messenger in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. An active account with the respective provider is required to use the messenger service.

Fricke Group uses MessengerPeople GmbH, Seidlstraße 8, 80335 Munich as a technical service provider and processor to provide this service.

g) Revocation of processing of personal data

Your consent to the processing of personal data can be freely revoked at any time; a corresponding notification to Fricke Group is sufficient for this purpose. Further information can be found in the respective privacy policies of Fricke Group, the messenger services and MessengerPeople GmbH.

Based on your consent, which you give us in accordance with Article 6 of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) – for example by agreeing within our privacy/cookie banner or accepting the privacy policy by clicking a checkbox before submitting forms or orders – we use the customer matching process. This involves transferring encrypted user data (such as e-mail addresses or telephone numbers) to the servers of our advertising partners. The partners’ systems compare this information to identify matches. The data used for the comparison is then deleted from the advertising partners’ servers in encrypted form to prevent any further use. If the data corresponds to a known user profile, this is used for targeted advertising measures. If you wish to withdraw your consent, you can do so at any time by contacting our customer service or sending a corresponding message via our contact form.

For a detailed explanation of the process, exemplified by Google Customer Match, we refer you to a schematic diagram, which is available at the following link: Schematic diagram of Google Customer Match

According to Article 4 of the GDPR, personal data includes any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. As part of Customer Match, we process data such as email addresses in particular, but also telephone numbers, names and addresses. This information is pseudonymized using hashing algorithms before it is passed on to an advertising partner, which makes it unrecognizable and considerably more difficult to trace back to an individual person. This procedure ensures that the data can only be used for the intended purpose.

3. disclosure of data

Your personal data will not be transferred to third parties for purposes other than those listed below.

We only pass on your personal data to third parties if:

• you have given your express consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR,
• the disclosure pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR is necessary for the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims and there is no reason to assume that you have an overriding interest worthy of protection in not disclosing your data,
• in the event that there is a legal obligation for disclosure pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. c GDPR, and
• this is legally permissible and necessary for the processing of contractual relationships with you in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b GDPR.

4. Cookies

We use cookies on our website. These are small files that your browser automatically creates and that are stored on your end device (laptop, tablet, smartphone, etc.) when you visit our website. Cookies do not cause any damage to your end device and do not contain any viruses, Trojans or other malware.

Information is stored in the cookie that results in each case in connection with the specific end device used. However, this does not mean that we obtain direct knowledge of your identity.

On the one hand, the use of cookies serves to make the use of our website more pleasant for you. For example, we use so-called session cookies to recognize that you have already visited individual pages of our website. These are automatically deleted after you leave our site.

In addition, we also use temporary cookies to optimize user-friendliness, which are stored on your end device for a specified period of time. If you visit our site again to use our services, it is automatically recognized that you have already visited us and which entries and settings you have made so that you do not have to enter them again.

On the other hand, we use cookies to statistically record the use of our website and to evaluate it for the purpose of optimizing our offer for you (see section 5). These cookies enable us to automatically recognize that you have already visited our website when you visit it again. These cookies are automatically deleted after a defined period of time.

Most browsers accept cookies automatically. However, you can configure your browser so that no cookies are stored on your computer or a message always appears before a new cookie is created. However, completely deactivating cookies may mean that you cannot use all the functions of our website.

a) General information on analysis tools

The tracking measures listed below and used by us are carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR. With the tracking measures used, we want to ensure a needs-based design and the continuous optimization of our website. On the other hand, we use the tracking measures to statistically record the use of our website and to evaluate it for the purpose of optimizing our offer for you.

The respective data processing purposes and data categories can be found in the corresponding tracking tools.

When using the analysis tools, it is possible that personal data (such as your IP address) may be passed on or disclosed to third-party companies. These may also be located outside the European Economic Area (EEA), i.e. in third countries. Such processing will only take place with your consent (Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR). We will inform you about the respective details of the transfer at the relevant points below.

The European Commission certifies that some third countries have a level of data protection comparable to the EEA standard by means of so-called adequacy decisions (a list of these countries and a copy of the adequacy decisions can be found here: https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/law-topic/data-protection/international-dimension-data-protection/adequacy-decisions_en). However, in other third countries to which personal data may be transferred, there may not be a consistently high level of data protection due to a lack of legal provisions. According to the European Court of Justice, an adequate level of protection for data transfers to the USA can currently only be established under extremely strict conditions. Where we transfer data to third countries, we ensure that data protection is adequately guaranteed. This is possible via binding corporate rules, standard contractual clauses of the European Commission for the protection of personal data pursuant to Art. 46 para. 1, 2 lit. c GDPR (the standard contractual clauses of 2021 are available at https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?uri=CELEX%3A32021D0915&locale-en), certificates or recognized codes of conduct. Please contact our data protection officer if you would like more information on this.

b) Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics, a web analysis service of Google Inc (https://www.google.de/intl/de/about/) (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; hereinafter referred to as “Google”) for the purpose of designing and continuously optimizing our pages to meet your needs. In this context, pseudonymized user profiles are created and cookies (see section 4) are used. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website such as:

• Browser type/version,
• operating system used,
• Referrer URL (the previously visited page),
• Host name of the accessing computer (IP address),
• Time of the server request,

We also use Google Conversion Tracking to statistically record the use of our website and to evaluate it for the purpose of optimizing our website for you. Google Adwords places a cookie (see section 4) on your computer if you have reached our website via a Google ad.

These cookies lose their validity after 30 days and are not used for personal identification. If the user visits certain pages of the Adwords customer’s website and the cookie has not yet expired, Google and the customer can recognize that the user clicked on the ad and was redirected to this page.

Each Adwords customer receives a different cookie. Cookies can therefore not be tracked via the websites of Adwords customers. The information collected using the conversion cookie is used to generate conversion statistics for Adwords customers who have opted for conversion tracking. Adwords customers find out the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a page with a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not receive any information that can be used to personally identify users.

If you do not wish to participate in the tracking process, you can also reject the setting of a cookie required for this – for example, by using 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 “www.googleadservices.com”. You can find Google’s privacy policy on conversion tracking here.

c) Use of the remarketing or “similar target groups” function of Google Inc.

We use the remarketing or “similar target groups” function of Google Inc. (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; “Google”) on our website. This function serves the purpose of analyzing visitor behavior and visitor interests. Google uses cookies to carry out the analysis of website usage, which forms the basis for the creation of interest-based advertisements. Cookies are used to record visits to the website and anonymized data on the use of the website. No personal data of visitors to the website is stored. If you subsequently visit another website in the Google Display Network, you will be shown advertisements that are highly likely to take into account previously accessed product and information areas. Your data may also be transmitted to the USA.

The processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 (1) lit. a. You can permanently deactivate the use of cookies by Google by following the following link and downloading and installing the plug-in provided there: https://support.google.com/ads/answer/7395996?hl=de

Alternatively, you can deactivate the use of cookies by third-party providers by visiting the deactivation page of the Network Advertising Initiative at https://www.networkadvertising.org/choices/ and implementing the further information on opting out mentioned there. You can find more information on Google Remarketing and the associated privacy policy at: https://www.google.com/privacy/ads/

d) econda

For the needs-based design and optimization of this website, anonymized data is also collected and stored using solutions and technologies from econda GmbH and user profiles are created from this data using pseudonyms. For this purpose, cookies can be used to recognize an Internet browser. However, user profiles are not merged with data about the bearer of the pseudonym without the express consent of the visitor. In particular, IP addresses are made unrecognizable immediately after receipt, which means that it is not possible to assign usage profiles to IP addresses. Visitors to this website can object to this data collection and storage at any time for the future here. The objection only applies to the device and the web browser on which it was set, please repeat the process on all devices if necessary.

If you delete the opt-out cookie, the subsequent requests will be stored by us again by default; you can object to this here.

The data is immediately pseudonymized and is not used to personally identify the visitor to this website.

The data stored in the context of Salesviewer will be deleted as soon as it is no longer required for its intended purpose and the deletion does not conflict with any statutory retention obligations.

5. Social media plug-ins

Youtube

We use the provider YouTube (part of Google) to embed videos. Like most of these websites, YouTube also uses cookies to collect information about visitors to its website. YouTube uses these to collect video statistics, prevent fraud and improve user-friendliness, among other things. This also leads to a connection being established with the Google DoubleClick network.

We use the “extended data protection mode” option provided by YouTube. When you visit a page that has an embedded video, a connection to the YouTube servers is established and the content is displayed on the website by notifying your browser. According to YouTube, in “extended data protection mode” your data – in particular information about which of our websites you have visited and device-specific information including your IP address – is only transmitted to the YouTube server in the USA when you watch the video. By activating this plugin and clicking on the video, you consent to this transmission.
