Scope This privacy policy is intended to inform users of this website, in accordance with the Federal Data Protection Act and the Telemedia Act, about the nature, scope, and purpose of the collection and use of personal data by the website operator Schloss Hugenpoet GmbH & Co. KG, August-Thyssen-Str. 51, 45219 Essen.
The website operator takes your data protection very seriously and treats your personal data confidentially and in accordance with legal regulations.
Please note that data transmission on the internet can generally be subject to security vulnerabilities. Complete protection against unauthorized access by third parties is not feasible.
Access Data The website operator or page provider collects data about access to the site and stores it as "server log files". The following data is logged:
- Page Visited
- Time of Access
- Amount of Data Sent in Bytes
- Source/Referrer from which you accessed the page
- Browser Used
- Operating System Used
- IP Address Used
The collected data is used solely for statistical analysis and to improve the website. However, the website operator reserves the right to subsequently review the server log files if there are concrete indications of unlawful use.
Cookies This website uses cookies. These are small text files that are stored on your device. Your browser accesses these files. The use of cookies increases the user-friendliness and security of this website.
Common browsers offer the option to disallow cookies. Note: It is not guaranteed that you will be able to access all functions of this website without restrictions if you make such settings.
Handling of Personal Data The website operator collects, uses, and shares your personal data only if permitted by law or if you consent to the data collection.
Personal data refers to all information that serves to identify you and can be traced back to you – for example, your name, email address, and phone number.
Handling of Contact Data If you contact the website operator using the provided contact options, your information will be stored so that it can be used to process and respond to your inquiry. Without your consent, this data will not be passed on to third parties.
Handling of Comments and Posts If you leave a post or comment on this website, your IP address will be stored. This serves the security of the website operator: if your text violates the law, they want to be able to trace your identity.
Subscriptions You have the option to subscribe to both the entire website and follow-up comments on your post. You will receive an email to confirm your email address. No other data will be collected in addition to this. The stored data will not be passed on to third parties. You can unsubscribe from a subscription at any time.
Google Analytics This website uses the service “Google Analytics”, a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. Google Analytics is used to analyze how users interact with our website. The service uses “cookies”, which are text files stored on your device. The information generated by cookies and similar technologies about your use of this website is generally transmitted to a Google server and processed there. In this context, data may also be transferred to servers of Google LLC in the United States.
IP anonymization is activated on this website. Google truncates users’ IP addresses within member states of the European Union or in other states party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area before transmission. As a result, the personal reference of your IP address is generally eliminated. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, compile reports on website activity and provide further services related to website usage and internet usage to the website operator.
We also use the “Google Signals” feature within Google Analytics. Google Signals enables cross-device tracking and analysis of user behavior. This feature is activated when visitors to our website are logged into their Google account and have enabled personalized advertising. In this case, Google may analyze user behavior across multiple devices and provide us with aggregated reports on demographic characteristics and user interests. It is not possible for us to identify individual users.
In addition, we may use features within Google Analytics that allow the collection of user-provided data. Data that users actively enter on our website, particularly in forms such as email addresses, names, or telephone numbers, may be transmitted to Google in hashed form if the user has given explicit consent. The transmission takes place exclusively in encrypted or hashed form. These data may be used by Google to improve conversion attribution, enhance audience and conversion analysis, and optimize audience lists for Google Ads.
The use of Google Analytics, Google Signals and the processing of user-provided data is carried out exclusively on the basis of your consent in accordance with Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25(1) TTDSG. Consent can be withdrawn at any time with effect for the future via the settings of our consent management tool.
You may prevent the storage of cookies by adjusting the settings of your browser accordingly. However, please note that if you do so, you may not be able to use all functions of this website to their full extent.
Furthermore, you can prevent the collection of data generated by cookies and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) from being sent to Google and processed by Google by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at the following link:
https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en Alternatively, you can withdraw your consent at any time via our consent management tool and thereby prevent Google Analytics from collecting data about you on this website. Please note that if you delete your cookies, you may need to adjust your settings again when revisiting the website.
