4. Data collection on our website

Cookies

We only use so-called "session cookies" on our website.

Session cookies for Google Maps

These are used to enable the functionality of the "post code search" and the associated use of the Google Maps function. Session cookies are temporary cookies that are automatically deleted when you close your browser. The use of session cookies is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR to ensure the optimal functionality of our website.

The use of the Google Maps function within the "Postcode search" is optional and only takes place if you have clearly consented to its use on the corresponding pages.


Matomo

This website uses the open-source web analytics service Matomo. With the help of Matomo, we are able to collect and analyze data about the usage of our website by visitors. This enables us to, among other things, determine when certain pages were accessed and from which region they come. We also collect various log files (e.g., IP address, referrer, used browsers, and operating systems) and can measure whether our website visitors perform certain actions (e.g., clicks, purchases, etc.).

The use of this analysis tool is based on Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in analyzing user behavior to optimize both its web offering and its advertising. If appropriate consent has been requested, the processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR and § 25(1) TTDSG, insofar as the consent includes the storage of cookies or access to information on the user's end device (e.g., device fingerprinting) within the meaning of the TTDSG. Consent can be revoked at any time.

IP Anonymization

When analyzing with Matomo, we use IP anonymization. In this process, your IP address is shortened before analysis so that it can no longer be directly linked to you.

Hosting

We host Matomo exclusively on our own servers, so all analysis data remains with us and is not shared.


Server log files

The provider of the pages automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. These are

  • Browser type and browser version
  • Operating system used
  • Referrer URL
  • Host name of the accessing computer
  • Time of the server request
  • IP address

This data is not merged with other data sources.

This data is collected on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the technically error-free presentation and optimization of its website - the server log files must be recorded for this purpose.


Inquiry or contact form

If you send us inquiries via the contact form, your details from this form, including the contact details you provide there, will in some cases be stored by us for the purpose of processing. . You can find out when this is the case in the following list.

  • General inquiry form
    If you have requested brochure material by post, the address data you have provided will be stored for the appropriate processing.

    In case you have only requested a pre-consultation by telephone, your contact data will not be stored after the end of the telephone call.

    If you have requested a product demonstration at your home, either directly or during a telephone conversation, we will forward the data you have provided to our employed sales representatives or sales agents. Your data will not be passed on to third parties with whom we do not have a contractual business relationship.

    If you as a company have requested a non-binding quotation from us, we will store your contact details (if they do not already exist). Your inquiry will also be archived in our ERP system for further inquiries. This is a prerequisite for preparing a quotation. Our sales representative or sales agent responsible for you will automatically receive a copy of the quotation.

  • Dealer training request form
    If you have requested a dealer training course directly at our premises or at your place of business, your request will be stored by us for further processing. As our dealer training courses are only offered to companies that already have a business relationship with us, your contact information is usually already stored in our ERP system. Your inquiry, including the contact information you have provided, will only be forwarded to our employed sales representatives or sales agents if they are responsible for conducting your training.

  • Dealer area and online shop request form
    If you have requested access to our dealer area, this will be created and stored in our CMS program using the contact details you have provided. After registration, your password can no longer be viewed by us. Your request, including contact details, will not be stored in our ERP system. Your data will not be passed on to third parties.

    If you have requested access to our online store, this will be created and saved in our online store system "Components Engine". After registration, the password can still be viewed by AAT, unless you subsequently change the password yourself. Your request, including contact details, will not be stored in our ERP system.With the exception of our contractual partner "Components Engine", your contact details will not be passed on to third parties.

The data entered in the contact form is therefore processed exclusively on the basis of your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR). You can withdraw this consent at any time. All you need to do is send us an informal notification by email. The legality of the data processing operations carried out until the withdrawal remains unaffected by the withdrawal.

We will retain the data you provide on the contact form until you request its deletion, revoke your consent for its storage, or the purpose for its storage no longer pertains (e.g. after fulfilling your request). Mandatory statutory provisions - in particular retention periods - remain unaffected.


Registration on this website

You can register on our website in order to use additional functions such as our dealer area or online shop. We use the data entered for this purpose only for the purpose of using the respective offer or service for which you have registered.

The data entered during registration is processed on the basis of your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR). You can withdraw your consent at any time. All you need to do is send us an informal notification by email.

5. Newsletter

Newsletter data

If you would like to receive the newsletter offered on our website, we require an e-mail address from you as well as information that allows us to verify that you are the owner of the e-mail address provided and that you agree to receive the newsletter. No further data is collected, or only on a voluntary basis. We use this data exclusively for sending the requested information and do not pass it on to third parties.

The data entered in the newsletter registration form is processed exclusively on the basis of your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR). You can withdraw your consent to the storage of the data, the e-mail address and its use for sending the newsletter at any time, for example via the "Unsubscribe" link in the newsletter. The legality of the data processing operations that have already taken place remains unaffected by the withdrawal.

The data you provide us with for the purpose of subscribing to the newsletter will be stored by us until you unsubscribe from the newsletter and deleted after you unsubscribe from the newsletter. Data stored by us for other purposes (e.g. e-mail addresses for the member area) remain unaffected by this.
