GENERAL NOTICE AND MANDATORY INFORMATION

Designation of the Responsible Entity

The responsible entity for data processing on this website is:

ASSET PROTECTION LLC
8 The Green Suite B
19901 Dover, DE
United States

The responsible entity, alone or in conjunction with others, decides on the purposes and means of processing personal data (e.g., names, contact details, etc.).

Revocation of Your Consent to Data Processing

Some data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You may revoke consent already given at any time. An informal email notification is sufficient for the revocation. The legality of data processing performed up until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

Right to Lodge a Complaint with the Competent Supervisory Authority

If there has been a violation of data protection law, the affected individual has the right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority. The responsible supervisory authority for data protection matters is the data protection officer of the federal state in which our company is headquartered. The following link provides a list of data protection officers along with their contact details: https://www.bfdi.bund.de/DE/Infothek/Anschriften_Links/anschriften_links-node.html.

Right to Data Portability

You have the right to have data, which we process automatically based on your consent or in fulfillment of a contract, handed over to you or to a third party. The provision is made in a machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another responsible entity, this will only be done to the extent technically feasible.

Right to Information, Correction, Blocking, Deletion

Within the framework of the applicable statutory provisions, you have the right at any time to request information, free of charge, about your stored personal data, the origin of the data, its recipients, and the purpose of the data processing and, if applicable, a right to correction, blocking, or deletion of this data. For further questions on personal data, you can contact us at any time using the contact options provided in the legal notice.

SSL or TLS Encryption

For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content that you send to us as the site operator, our website uses SSL or TLS encryption. Data transmitted via this website cannot be read by third parties. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the “https://” address line of your browser and the lock icon in the browser line.

Server Log Files

The provider of the website automatically collects and stores information in server log files that your browser automatically transmits to us. This includes:

  • Page visited on our domain
  • Date and time of the server request
  • Browser type and version
  • Operating system used
  • Referrer URL
  • Hostname of the accessing computer
  • IP address

This data will not be combined with data from other sources. The basis for data processing is Art. 6(1)(b) of the GDPR, which allows the processing of data to fulfill a contract or for pre-contractual measures.

Data Transfer upon Conclusion of a Contract for Services

Personal data will only be transferred to third parties if necessary within the scope of contract processing. For example, third parties may be payment service providers or logistics companies. Further data transfers will not occur unless you have explicitly consented to them.

The basis for data processing is Art. 6(1)(b) of the GDPR, which permits data processing for the fulfillment of a contract or pre-contractual measures.

Contact Form

Data transmitted via the contact form, including your contact details, will be stored in order to process your request or be available for follow-up questions. This data will not be disclosed without your consent.

The processing of the data entered in the contact form is exclusively based on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) of the GDPR). You may revoke your consent at any time. An informal email notification is sufficient for the revocation. The legality of data processing performed up until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

Data transmitted via the contact form will remain with us until you request deletion, revoke your consent to storage, or the purpose for data storage no longer applies. Mandatory legal provisions – particularly retention periods – remain unaffected.

YouTube

Our website uses plugins from YouTube to integrate and display video content. The provider of the video portal is YouTube, LLC, 901 Cherry Ave., San Bruno, CA 94066, USA.

When accessing a page with an integrated YouTube plugin, a connection to YouTube’s servers is established. This informs YouTube which of our pages you have visited.

If you are logged into your YouTube account, YouTube can directly associate your browsing behavior with your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account.

The use of YouTube is in the interest of an appealing presentation of our online offers. This constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6(1)(f) of the GDPR.

For details on handling user data, refer to YouTube’s privacy policy: https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy.

Cookies

Our website uses cookies. These are small text files that your web browser stores on your device. Cookies help us make our site more user-friendly, efficient, and secure.

Some cookies are “session cookies.” Such cookies are automatically deleted at the end of your browsing session. Other cookies remain on your device until you delete them. These cookies help us recognize you when you return to our website.

Modern web browsers allow you to monitor, restrict, or prevent the setting of cookies. Many web browsers can be configured to delete cookies automatically when the program is closed. Deactivating cookies may limit the functionality of our website.

The setting of cookies that are necessary for electronic communications or the provision of certain functions you wish to use (e.g., shopping cart) is based on Art. 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. As the website operator, we have a legitimate interest in the storage of cookies for the technically flawless and smooth delivery of our services. If other cookies are set (e.g., for analytics functions), they are treated separately in this privacy policy.

Google Analytics

Our website uses functions of the web analytics service Google Analytics, provided by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.

Google Analytics uses “cookies.” These are small text files that your web browser stores on your device to enable an analysis of website usage. Information generated by the cookie about your use of our website is transmitted to a Google server and stored there, typically in the USA.

Setting Google Analytics cookies is based on Art. 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. As the website operator, we have a legitimate interest in analyzing user behavior to optimize both our web offering and advertising.

IP Anonymization

We use Google Analytics with the IP anonymization function. It ensures that Google shortens your IP address within EU member states or other states in the European Economic Area before transmitting it to the USA. Only in exceptional cases will Google transfer the full IP address to a server in the USA and shorten it there. On our behalf, Google will use this information to evaluate your website usage, compile reports on website activities, and provide us with further services related to website and internet usage. The IP address provided by Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.

Browser Plugin

You can prevent your web browser from storing cookies. However, doing so may limit some functions of our website. You can also prevent the collection of data regarding your website use, including your IP address, by Google, as well as the processing of this data by Google, by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de.

Objection to Data Collection

You can prevent the collection of your data by Google Analytics by clicking on the following link. An opt-out cookie will be set, preventing the collection of your data during future visits to our website: Disable Google Analytics.

For details on how Google Analytics handles user data, see Google’s privacy policy: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245?hl=de.

Contract Data Processing

To fully comply with statutory data protection requirements, we have entered into a contract with Google for order processing.

Demographic Data in Google Analytics

Our website uses Google Analytics’ “demographics” function, which allows for the creation of reports containing information on age, gender, and interests of site visitors. This data comes from Google’s interest-based advertising and visitor data from third parties. It is not possible to attribute this data to a specific individual. You can disable this feature at any time. This can be done through the ad settings in your Google account or by generally prohibiting the collection of your data by Google Analytics, as explained in the section “Objection to Data Collection.”

Google Web Fonts

Our website uses Google Web Fonts. The provider is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.

Using these web fonts allows us to display our website in the way we intend, regardless of which fonts are locally available to you. This is achieved by retrieving the Google Web Fonts from a Google server in the USA, which involves transmitting your data to Google. This includes your IP address and which page you visited on our website. The use of Google Web Fonts is based on Art. 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. As the website operator, we have a legitimate interest in the optimal presentation and transmission of our website.

Google is certified under the EU-US Privacy Shield Framework, which is intended to ensure compliance with the data protection standards applicable in the EU.
