Data processing on this website and when using the Acoustic App

Essentials

The website operator takes your data protection very seriously and treats your personal data confidentially and in accordance with the statutory regulations. As new technologies and the constant development of this website may result in changes to this privacy policy, we recommend that you read the privacy policy again at regular intervals.

Access data

We, the website operator or page provider, collect data about accesses to the website on the basis of our legitimate interest (see Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f. DSGVO) and store these as “server log files” on the website server. The following data is logged in this way:

• Time at the moment of access
• Amount of data sent in bytes
• Source/reference from which you accessed the page
• Browser used
• Operating system used
• IP address used

The server log files are stored for a maximum of 7 days and then deleted. The data is stored for security reasons, e.g. to be able to clarify cases of misuse. If data has to be retained for reasons of evidence, it is exempt from deletion until the incident has been conclusively clarified.

Collection and processing of personal data

The website operator only collects, uses and discloses your personal data if this is permitted by law or if you consent to the data collection.

Personal data is any information that can be used to identify you and that can be traced back to you – for example, your name, email address and telephone number.

You can also visit this website without providing any personal information. However, in order to improve our online services, we store (without personal reference) your access data to this website. This access data includes, for example, the file you requested or the name of your internet provider. Due to the anonymisation of the data, it is not possible to draw conclusions about your person.

We process personal data such as first name, surname, IP address, e-mail address, street, city, postal code and content details from the contact form.

We only process personal data with the express permission of the users concerned and in compliance with the applicable data protection regulations.

The processing of personal data is based on our legitimate interest in fulfilling our contractually agreed services and to optimise our online offer.

We only use the data provided to us to process the order and only with the consent of our customers. objectiv GmbH & Co. KG does not sell any of its customers’ personal data and only provides this data to third parties if they are partner companies that assist in the provision of services. These are the transport companies such as DHL, DPD, UPS etc. as well as manufacturers of the products offered for the purpose of delivery. In any case, only data that is necessary for the delivery of a package (name, address) will be passed on, but under no circumstances payment information. By sending the order, you agree that your data will be collected, processed and used by us exclusively for the purpose of processing the order.

Handling contact details

If you contact us as the website operator using the contact options offered, your details will be stored so that they can be used to process and respond to your enquiry. This data will not be passed on to third parties without your consent.

Handling comments and posts

If you leave a post or comment on this website, your IP address will be stored. This is done on the basis of our legitimate interests within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f. DSGVO and serves the security of us as the website operator: because if your comment violates applicable law, we can be prosecuted for it, which is why we have an interest in the identity of the comment or post author.

DSGVO the servie „Google Analytics“, which is offered by Google Inc. (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043, USA).

Only in individual cases is the IP address initially transmitted unabbreviated to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. This shortening eliminates the personal reference of your IP address. The user’s IP address transmitted by the browser is not combined with other data stored by Google.
