7.5 National data protection regulations (BDSG)

In addition to the provisions of the GDPR, national regulations apply in Germany, including in particular the Federal Data Protection Act („BDSG“). These contain special data protection regulations at national level, according to which we process your data.

8. Security measures (TOMs)

The security of your data has the highest priority for us. In accordance with legal requirements, taking into account the state of the art, implementation costs and the nature, scope, circumstances and purposes of the processing, as well as the varying degrees of probability of occurrence and the extent to which the rights and freedoms of natural persons are threatened, we take appropriate technical and organisational measures („TOMs“) to ensure a level of protection of your personal data that is commensurate with the risks involved.

The measures taken by us (in accordance with Art. 32 GDPR) include in particular the safeguarding of the confidentiality, integrity and availability of data. We ensure this by regularly monitoring physical and electronic access to data, access, input, disclosure and safeguarding of the availability and separation of data. Furthermore, we have established procedures to ensure that the data subjects‘ rights are exercised, data is deleted, and responses are made to any threats to the data.

Below, we will also explain to you what the function of the Cookies is, which cookies we use on our website and how you can restrict or prevent the use of the Cookies and how you can object to them.

11.2 What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that the browser stores on your end device (computer, smartphone, tablet, etc.) when you call up a website. Cookies contain, for example, information about your cookie selection, language settings and visit duration. Cookies help us to provide services, keep them up to date and constantly improve them, and to compile anonymous visitor statistics in order to continuously improve our website.
There are different types of cookies, for which we provide you with detailed information below.

11.3 Categories of cookies

Cookies are classified by origin, purpose and expiration time. The cookies we use serve different purposes, the expiration time is variable. These are categorised by us according to: technically required cookies, statistics cookies and marketing cookies.

11.4 Cookie provider

11.4.1 First-party cookies

These are cookies which are set and managed directly by us. We use them, for example, to record your cookie selection.

11.4.2 Third-party cookies

These are cookies which are set and used by other agencies or websites, for example by providers of analysis tools, route planners or for the display of videos. Thirdparty providers may also use cookies to display advertisements or to integrate content from social networks such as social plugins.

11.5 Storage duration of the cookies

11.5.1 Session cookies

Certain cookies are only required for the duration of your current service call or your session and are deleted or lose their validity as soon as you leave our website or your current session expires. Session cookies are used, for example, to retain certain information during your session, such as your registration for our online offers.

11.5.2 Permanent / timelimited cookies

These cookies are stored for a longer period of time, for example to recognise you at a later time when you call up our website again and to be able to call up stored settings. This allows you, for example, to access our website more quickly or conveniently or to avoid having to make certain settings such as your chosen cookie selection again. Permanent cookies are automatically deleted after a predefined period of time. The exact storage time for each individual cookie can be found in the following tables.

11.6 Purpose of the cookies, ordered by categories

11.6.1 Technically required cookies

Description: These cookies ensure the basic functionality and usability of our website. Among other things, they ensure smooth navigation on the website and make our website as a whole available. They are set, for example, to:

enable basic functions of the website,
save your cookie selection,
provide a secure authentication with which you can log in to our protected area/your user account.

The legal basis for the integration of these cookies is: Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.

We need this information to provide you with these online services.

We have currently integrated the following cookies in this category:

Cookie name		Cookie provider		Purpose		Storage duration
1frontend		First-Party / Contenido (locally on CeoTronics server)		Secure authentication/login to our protected area		Session

11.6.2 Statistics cookies

Description: These cookies enable us to obtain statistics about visitors to our website - for example, the number of visits to different categories of the website or the total frequency of visits. Navigation, services and offers can thus be improved. We use the open source visitor statistics tool „Matomo“ as a service. No cookies are used here, but "device fingerprinting". For further information on the use of „Matomo“, please refer to section 11.7.

11.6.3 Marketing cookies

Our videos are integrated via the third-party provider „Vimeo“. A „do-not-track“ function means that no cookies are set for this. We currently do not integrate marketing cookies.

11.7 Visitor statistics by Matomo (Range measurement)

11.7.1 Scope of the processing

Our website uses the tool / service „Matomo“, an open source software for statistical analysis of visitor access. For this purpose, so-called "device fingerprinting" (digital fingerprint) is used. This is a technology (usually undetectable by the user) that reads and combines device-specific information (such as device type, device performance, screen resolution, operating system, etc.). This creates a unique "device fingerprint" that potentially changes on a regular basis. The "device fingerprint" is not stored on the end device and no cookies are set, which means that the creation of user profiles (in addition to the anonymisation of IP addresses) is not possible. Matomo is hosted on our own servers, therefore no data is transferred/disclosed to third parties. A website-wide device recognition is not possible due to the local hosting and the cookie-less use. Only we (authorised employees) have access to the evaluations. The protection of your data is important to us, therefore we have additionally configured Matomo so that your IP address is only recorded in abbreviated form. We therefore process your personal usage data anonymously. It is not possible for us to draw conclusions about your person. For more information on the terms of use and Matomo‘s data protection regulations, please visit: https://matomo.org/privacy/.

11.7.2 Purposes of the processing

We use the data for the statistical evaluation (range measurement) of user behaviour on our website for the purpose of optimising the functionality and stability of the website and for the improved presentation of our products and services. From the above points follows our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. By making the IP address anonymous, we take into account the interests of users in the protection of personal data. The data is never used to personally identify the user of the website and is not merged with other data.

11.7.3 Legal basis for the processing

The legal basis for data processing by means of Matomo is our legitimate interest according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR for the above-mentioned purposes, taking into account your possibly conflicting interests.

11.7.4 Categories of data subjects

Users of the website (website visitors)

11.7.5 Categories of personal data

Usage data (e.g. categories visited, interest in content, access times)
Meta / communication data (e.g. device information, IP addresses)

11.7.6 Right to object

Since no cookies are used in our Matomo configuration as described in point 11.7.1 and the IP address is anonymised, i.e. no data is stored on your device and we have no way of identifying you, an objection option via an opt-out or similar is currently not possible. However, you can make further data protection options in your browser settings (see point 11.9).

11.7.7 Storage duration

We delete the anonymous evaluation overviews after half a year (180 days).We delete the anonymous evaluation overviews after half a year (180 days).

14. Newsletter and marketing for existing customers

14.1 Scope of the processing

We send newsletters and other promotional information if you have given us your consent to do so or if you are registered with us as an „existing customer“ in our system in compliance with the legal regulations. Our newsletters and other promotional information contain the topics product news and trade fair information.
In order for you to receive the newsletter, it is necessary to enter your email address, to address you personally, your title, first and last name and the desired target group for the topic-specific sending of information. If you register to receive our newsletter, the data you provide will be used exclusively for this purpose and will not be passed on to third parties.

14.2 Purposes of the processing

The sending of our newsletter and other promotional information serves the purpose of informing interested parties and customers about our current product news and trade fair information.
Subscribers can also be informed by email about circumstances relevant to the service or registration (such as changes to the newsletter offer or technical conditions).

14.3 Consent via double opt-in procedure

If you would like to subscribe to our newsletter, this is always done by the so-called double opt-in procedure. This involves that after registration (entering your data in the newsletter form and sending it) you will receive an email to confirm your registration. This confirmation is necessary to ensure that you are the owner of the email address provided and therefore no strangers (email addresses) can register for the newsletter. Your data will also be checked internally by us for legitimate receipt. The entire application and registration process is logged in order to be able to prove this according to the legal requirements. This includes the storage of the registration and confirmation time, the confirmation of consent and its content as well as the IP address. This data is stored in our system as well as in our shipping program or with our shipping service provider.

14.4 Advertising for existing customers

If we have received your email address in connection with the sale of a product or service and you have not objected to this, we will process your email address in order to carry out email marketing (direct advertising) for our own similar products or services, and possibly other personal data in order to address you personally in this connection.

14.5 Performance measurement

Our sent newsletters contain a so-called web beacon, i.e. a pixel-sized file which is retrieved from our server when the newsletter is opened or, if we use a dispatch service provider, from their server. Within the scope of this retrieval, technical information such as information on the shipping or delivery status, your browser and your system, as well as your IP address and the time of retrieval, is initially collected.

We use this technical information to improve our newsletter. This analysis includes determining whether the newsletters are opened, when they are opened and which links are clicked. For technical reasons, this information can be assigned to individual newsletter recipients. However, it is not our intention, nor that of the shipping service provider (if used) to evaluate individual user information. The evaluations serve the sole purpose of identifying the reading habits of our users and adapting our content to them or sending different content according to the interests of our users. Explicitly no user-specific analyses or observations are carried out. Additionally, only authorised employees have access to this information. As a central security measure, the newsletter is sent via software hosted by us, therefore only we have access to these evaluations.

The evaluation of the newsletter and the measurement of success are carried out, subject to the explicit consent of the users, on the basis of our legitimate interests for the purpose of using a user-friendly and secure newsletter system that serves our business interests and meets the expectations of the users.

A separate revocation of the performance measurement and the newsletter itself is unfortunately not possible, in this case the consent for the entire newsletter must be revoked or contradicted.

14.6 Legal basis for the processing

If you have registered for our newsletter via the „double opt-in procedure“, this is done on the basis of your consent (in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR). Existing customer advertising is based on our legitimate interests in direct advertising (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR or delivery on § 7 para. 3 UWG). Insofar as we commission a service provider to send emails, this is done on the basis of our legitimate interests (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR). The registration procedure is recorded on the basis of our legitimate interests (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR) in order to prove that it was carried out in accordance with the law.

14.7 Categories of data subjects

Communication partners

14.8 Categories of personal data

Master data (e.g. names, addresses)
Contact details (e.g. emails, telephone numbers)
Usage data (e.g. websites visited, access times, content interests)
Meta/communication data (e.g. IP addresses, device information)

14.9 Right to object and storage period

You can cancel the newsletter or the existing customer advertising at any time with effect for the future. You can do this via the „unsubscribe link“, which is included in every newsletter. In addition, you can unsubscribe via the website using the following link: https://www.ct-video.com/en/news/newsletter-registration/newsletter.html. You can also send an email with your notice of objection to the data protection email address in section 4. „Controller“. As proof of a given consent, we can store the registered email addresses for up to three years within the scope of our legitimate interest. If there are obligations to permanently observe contradictions, we reserve the right to store the email address in a blacklist exclusively for this purpose.

14.10 Service providers and services used
