clicking on the following checkbox (opt-out).



(3) Our website uses Matomo with the AnonymizeIP add-on to shorten IP addresses

collected by us.

(4) Matomo is an open source project. Information of this third-party provider’s
privacy policy is available at https://matomo.org/privacy-policy/. Opt-out
complete; your visits to this website will not be recorded by the Web Analytics

§ 9 GOOGLE ANALYTICS

(1) If you have given your consent, this website uses Google Analytics, a web
analysis service of Google LLC. The responsible service provider in the EU is
Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland
(“Google”).

(2) Scope of processing Google Analytics uses so-called cookies, text files that
are stored on your computer and that allow your use of the website to be
analyzed. The information about your use of this website generated by the cookie
is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. We use
the “demographic characteristics” function of Google Analytics. This allows
reports to be generated that contain information about the age, gender and
interests of site visitors. This data originates from interest-based advertising
by Google as well as visitor data from third parties. This data cannot be
assigned to any particular person. We use the function “anonymizeIP” (so-called
IP-Masking). Activation of IP anonymization on this website means that your IP
address will first be abbreviated by Google within the member states of the
European Union or in other signatory states of the agreement through the
European Economic Area. Only in exceptional circumstances will the full IP
address be transferred to a Google server in the USA and abbreviated there. The
IP address transferred by your browser within the context of Google Analytics is
not merged with other data from Google. Among other data, the following pieces
of information are collected during your website visit:

 * The pages that you call up, i.e. your “click path”
 * Achievement of “website goals” (conversions, e.g. newsletter subscriptions,
   downloads, sales)
 * Your user behavior (e.g. clicks, dwell time, bounce rate)
 * Your approximate location (region)
 * Your IP address (in abbreviated form)
 * Technical information about your browser and the device used by you (e.g.
   language setting, screen resolution)
 *  Your Internet service provider
 * The referrer URL (the website or advertising medium via which you arrived at
   this website)

(3) Purpose of the data processing Google uses this information on our behalf to
evaluate the use of our website by users, to compile reports about activities
within this website and to provide us with further services related to the use
of this website and Internet usage.

(4) Recipient The recipient of the data and processor of the order is Google
Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. We have signed
an order processing agreement for this purpose with Google. Google LLC, with
headquarters in California, USA, and, where appropriate, US authorities may
access the data stored by Google.

(5) Transfer to third countries A transfer of data in the USA cannot be ruled
out.

(6) Storage period The data sent by us and linked to cookies will be deleted
automatically after 14 months. Data that has reached the end of its storage
limit is automatically deleted once a month. You can also prevent the collection
of data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website
(including your IP address) by Google as well as the processing of such data by
Google by a. not consenting to the setting of the cookie or b. downloading and
installing the browser add-on here to deactivate Google Analytics. You can also
prevent the storage of cookies by setting your browser software accordingly.
However, if you configure your browser to refuse all cookies, this may lead to
limited functionality on this and other websites.

(7) Legal basis and right of revocation The legal basis for this data processing
is your consent pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. a GDPR. You may revoke this
consent at any time with effect for the future by accessing your cookie settings
https://bowe.com/en/cookies/ and changing your selection. You can also prevent
the storage of cookies by generally rejecting them in the cookie banner on our
website or through the appropriate setting in your browser software. Users can
also prevent the collection of the data generated by the cookie and related to
their use of the website by Google as well as the processing of such data by
Google by downloading and installing the browser plugin at:
https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en.

(8) You can obtain further information about the Google Analytics terms of use
and Google data protection here:
https://marketingplatform.google.com/about/analytics/terms/us/ and at
https://policies.google.com/?hl=en.

§ 10 GOOGLE WEB FONTS

We use “Google Web Fonts” from Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow St,
Dublin 4, Ireland on our website. This allows us to use external fonts. Use in
offline mode means that no data is transferred to Google as a third-party
supplier.

§ 11 LINKS TO OTHER WEB PAGES

This data protection declaration shall only apply to our own Internet presence.
The web pages forming this presence may contain links to the web pages of third
parties (e.g. social media). Our data protection declaration shall not extend to
these web pages. We recommend that when you leave our web presence, you
carefully read the data protection guidelines of every web page that gathers
personal data.

§ 12 ONLINE PRESENCE IN SOCIAL MEDIA

We maintain online social media presences in order to communicate with
customers, interested parties and users who are active there and to be able to
inform them about our services. The terms of business and data protection
guidelines of the relevant operator shall apply to interactions via such
networks or platforms.

Unless something to the contrary is stated in our data protection declaration,
we process the data of users provided that they communicate with us via social
media, for example, post on our online presences or send us messages. This data
protection declaration shall apply to our online presences on Google MyBusiness,
LinkedIn, Twitter, Xing, YouTube.

§ 13 INTEGRATION OF YOUTUBE VIDEOS

(1) We have also integrated YouTube videos of the third-party supplier Google
Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, in our online
offer. These are stored at http://www.youtube.com and are accessible directly
from our website. YouTube places cookies when videos are played in order to
gather information about visitors to its website. These videos are all covered
by the “expanded data protection mode”, which means that no information about
you as the user will be transferred to YouTube if you do not play the videos or
have not previously given your consent for this. Only once you have given
consent will the data specified in the following be transferred. We have no
control over the resulting data transfers.

(2) Visiting the website provides YouTube with the information that you have
accessed the relevant page on our website. In addition, the data detailed in § 3
of this policy is made available to them. This information is shared
irrespective of whether YouTube offers a user account that you are logged in to
or not. If you are logged in to Google, your data is directly associated with
your account. If you do not want your YouTube profile to be associated in this
way, you must first log out before activating the button. This also establishes
a connection with the Google DoubleClick network. If you start the video this
might result in further data processing actions.

(3) YouTube stores your data as a user profile and uses it for the purposes of
advertising, market research and/or the tailored management of its website. Such
analysis is completed (even for users who are not logged in) to deliver targeted
advertising and to inform other users of the social network about your
activities on our website. You have the right to object to the creation of such
user profiles by contacting YouTube.

(4) The legal basis for the playing of YouTube videos is the granting of your
consent in accordance with art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR.

(5) Further information on the scope and purpose of data collection and its
processing by YouTube is available in the privacy policy. Please refer to this
policy for further details on your rights and options to protect your privacy:
https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en.

§ 14 LINKEDIN SALES NAVIGATOR

We use the LinkedIn Sales Navigator of LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company to
directly address and actively get in touch with contacts. Through the tool,
lists of possible contacts in relevant companies are created, including contact
details and linked LinkedIn information. For more information on how LinkedIn
processes your data, please visit https://www.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy.

We process your personal data to establish contact, to communicate or to
initiate business relation with you on the basis of the following legal grounds:

 * Your consent pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 subsection 1 a) GDPR, which you gave
   to the provider when registering for the respective social media platform,
   provided that it concerns your platform user data (name, employer, position,
   usage behaviour on the platform, etc.);
 * For the fulfilment of a contract or for the performance of pre-contractual
   measures pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 subsection 1 b) GDPR, provided that we
   already have a business relationship with you or carry out pre-contractual
   measures via the platform based on your request (e.g. further contact or
   communication);
 * To protect our legitimate interests pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 subsection 1
   f) GDPR; our legitimate interest consists in establishing contact,
   communicating or initiating business relations with you for the
   establishment, implementation, maintenance or termination of a business
   relationship with you.

Your data will be stored for as long as it is necessary to fulfil the purposes
described here or as required by law. You can revoke your consent at any time.

§ 15 FACEBOOK

(1) Joint processing
We use the technical platform and services of Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd, 4
Grand Canal Square Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland (hereinafter:
"Facebook") for the information service offered here. BÖWE SYSTEC GmbH and
Facebook are joint controllers within the meaning of Art. 26 GDPR with regard to
the processing of data via this Facebook page. A corresponding contract on joint
processing exists between the two controllers. The essence of the contract on
the distribution of the obligation to comply with the requirements of the GDPR
is available here:
https://www.facebook.com/legal/terms/page_controller_addendum.

(2) General information on data processing
We would also like to point out that you use this Facebook page and its
functions on your own responsibility. This applies in particular to the use of
the interactive functions (e.g. commenting, sharing, rating). When you visit our
Facebook page, Facebook collects, among other things, your IP address and other
information that is present on your PC in the form of cookies. This information
is used to provide us, as operators of the Facebook pages, with statistical
information about the use of the Facebook page. Facebook provides more detailed
information on this at the following link:
http://facebook.com/help/pages/insights. The data collected about you in this
context is processed by Facebook and may be transferred to countries outside the
European Union. Facebook describes in general terms what information it receives
and how it is used in its data usage guidelines. There you will also find
information on how to contact Facebook and on the settings options for
advertisements. The data usage guidelines are available at the following link:
https://facebook.com/privacy/policy/. In what way Facebook uses data from visits
to Facebook pages for its own purposes, to what extent activities on the
Facebook page are assigned to individual users, how long Facebook stores this
data and whether data from a visit to the Facebook page is passed on to third
parties, is not conclusively and clearly stated by Facebook and is not known to
us. When you access a Facebook page, the IP address assigned to your end device
is transmitted to Facebook. Furthermore, cookies may be stored on your terminal
device, which are used for advertising purposes, among other things. According
to information from Facebook, such cookies are deleted after 90 days. Details on
the storage period can be found in the aforementioned links and the cookie
policy (https://facebook.com/policies/cookies/). You can access further
information on the specific data we collect about you as part of our Facebook
page via the following URL:
https://facebook.com/legal/terms/information_about_page_insights_data. If you
are currently logged in to Facebook as a user, a cookie with your Facebook ID is
located on your end device. This enables Facebook to track that you have visited
this page and how you have used it. This also applies to all other Facebook
pages. Via Facebook buttons embedded in websites, it is possible for Facebook to
record your visits to these websites and assign them to your Facebook profile.
The same applies to the use of so-called Facebook Pixels. Based on this data,
content or advertising can be offered tailored to you. If you wish to avoid
this, you should log out of Facebook or deactivate the "stay logged in"
function, delete the cookies present on your device and close and restart your
browser. In this way, Facebook information through which you can be directly
identified will be deleted. This will allow you to use our Facebook page without
revealing your Facebook identifier. When you access interactive features of the
page (Like, Comment, Share, Message, etc.), a Facebook login screen will appear.
After any login, you will again be recognizable to Facebook as a specific user.
For information on how to manage or delete information about you, please visit
the following Facebook support pages: https://facebook.com/privacy/policy/.

(3) Data processing by BÖWE SYSTEC GmbH
We use this Facebook page on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 letters b)
and f) GDPR (contract initiation/execution and protection of legitimate
interests). The following legitimate interests are pursued, among others:

 * Building and strengthening customer loyalty by placing targeted
   advertisements and communicating with users of the Facebook network
 * Notifying interested users about new products, offers, competitions or other
   news or important news
 * Providing status information and technical documents
 * Responding to informal inquiries of all kinds

The Facebook page is also used to contact potential applicants or to be
contacted by them. Insofar as this is the case, the processing is carried out on
the basis of Section 26 Federal Data Protection Act. Further information on data
protection for applicants can be found at
https://karriere.bowe.com/datenschutz-fuer-bewerber.html. We do not collect and
process any data from your use of our service beyond this. Your personal data
will be deleted by us immediately as soon as the data is no longer required for
the fulfillment of contractual and legal obligations. Personal data will be
stored at least as long as necessary for the fulfillment of contractual
obligations and the exercise of contractual rights. This period may extend
beyond the actual contractual period, as the data may still be relevant after
the end of the contract within the framework of the limitation periods. In
addition, deletion can only take place once any retention periods under tax and
commercial law have expired. If you apply to us via our Facebook page, we will
delete your data six months after receipt of your application if no employment
relationship is established. In the latter case, the storage period is governed
by our data protection provisions for employees.

§ 16 FACEBOOK PIXEL

The website uses the tracking and remarketing function "Facebook Pixel" of Meta
Platforms Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Dublin 2, Ireland ("Meta").
Users of the website can thus be shown interest-based advertisements when
visiting the social network "Facebook" as well as websites that also use the
procedure (including "Instagram"). In this way, we pursue the interest of
displaying relevant advertising to you in order to make your visit to our
website more interesting and use the data for marketing and targeting purposes.
The pixel represents an analysis tool through which user behavior is tracked and
linked to user data on Facebook. It is logged when certain actions are taken on
our website. Such actions are, for example, adding an item to the shopping cart
or completing a purchase. We do not have any influence on the other processing
of the data that is collected by Facebook due to the use of the function. Due to
the use of the function, your browser establishes a direct connection to the
Facebook server. This is not pseudonymized or anonymous user data. According to
our knowledge, Facebook receives the information that you have accessed the
subpage of our website or clicked on the ad. Facebook can assign this
information to your account if you are registered with Facebook. If you are not
registered or logged in, it is still possible that Facebook processes the IP
address and other identifiers. For logged-in users, it is possible to deactivate
the function at https://www.facebook.com/settings/?tab=ads#_. We process the
data on the basis of your consent declared when calling up our website in
accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 letter a) GDPR. If necessary, data may
be transferred to third countries on the basis of your consent pursuant to Art.
49 para. 1 sentence 1 letter a) GDPR. You can revoke your consent at any time
via the cookie settings on this website. For more information on data processing
by Facebook and a detailed description of how the Facebook Pixel works, please
visit https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy and
https://www.facebook.com/business/help/742478679120153.
