We use your data in accordance with applicable data protection regulations. This privacy policy informs you about the personal data we collect and store. You will also find information on how your data is used and what rights you have regarding its use.

Access, Correction, Blocking, and Deletion of Your Data

You have the right to access your personal data stored by us at any time. You also have the right to correct, block, or, apart from the legally required data storage for business transactions, delete your personal data. Please send us an email to hertenstein@pul-ingenieure.de for this purpose and for any further questions regarding the use of your personal data.

Disclosure of Your Data to Third Parties

We only disclose your personal data if you have expressly consented, if there is a legal obligation to do so, or if it is necessary to enforce our rights, in particular to enforce claims arising from a contractual relationship with you.

Data Collection

Use of this website is generally possible without providing personal data. Should such personal data nevertheless be collected on this website, this will only occur through voluntary data provision by the user. Personal data will not be shared with third parties unless the user has given explicit consent. If personal data is collected on our websites, this collection always takes place within the framework of the provisions of the data protection law of the Federal Republic of Germany. If personal data is collected, you can find information about the type, scope, and purpose of the collection and use of personal data in this privacy policy. Please note that despite the utmost care, data transmission on the internet is always associated with risks based on security vulnerabilities. Complete protection of data is therefore impossible.

Data Transmission

When you access our websites, data is automatically transmitted from your browser to our web server. This transmission includes anonymized access data without personal reference, such as date and time, browser type, amount and type of data retrieved, and your IP address. This data is stored separately from any other data collected from you during your use of our websites. This data cannot be used to identify a specific individual. This data is collected solely for logging user behavior and for statistical purposes. After evaluation, the data is deleted.

Usage Data

Where necessary, we collect and use so-called usage data from you. This is personal data that enables you to use our website and for billing purposes. Data collected includes information about the timing of your use of our website, the extent of your usage, and your identifying characteristics.

Please note that we are permitted to generate usage profiles—that is, compiled data about visits to our website—for advertising, market research, and website design purposes. These usage profiles do not reveal any information about you personally and are not combined with any other data we collect, so personal identification through the merging of different data sets is not possible. You have the right to object to such use of your data at any time.

Cookies

We use cookies when you visit our website. Cookies help in many ways to make your visit to our website easier, more enjoyable, and more meaningful. Cookies are information files that your web browser automatically saves to your computer’s hard drive when you visit our website.

No personal data is transmitted to us through the use of cookies. For example, we use cookies to identify you as a user by means of an anonymous identifier, without requiring you to log in separately. Cookies also allow us to analyze your user behavior when visiting our website in anonymized form.

The use of cookies does not result in us receiving any personal data about you. The information stored in the cookies does not allow us to associate them with a specific person or draw conclusions about individual visitors to our website.

Most internet browsers accept cookies automatically. However, you can configure your browser. You can prevent cookies from being stored on your computer or ensure that you always receive a notification when you receive a new cookie. You can also delete cookies that have already been stored.

Disabling cookies may prevent you from using all the features of our website.

Google Analytics

Our website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc. This service analyzes your use of the website by storing so-called “cookies” on your computer. These cookies generate information about your browsing behavior and transmit it to Google Inc. Typically, a shortened version of your IP address is transmitted to Google servers. In exceptional cases, the full IP address may also be transmitted. Google uses this information on our behalf to compile reports on user activity on our website. The IP address collected by Google Analytics is not associated with any other data held by Google. If you do not wish to have cookies stored on your computer, you can adjust your browser settings accordingly. However, this may limit your ability to use our website.

Google Analytics uses cookies to analyze how users use the website. Unless IP address anonymization (IP masking) has already been implemented by inserting the code “gat._anonymizeIp();”, the collected data will be processed in accordance with the applicable provisions of the German Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG) and Google’s Terms of Service, which prohibit the transfer of personal data to Google.

Use of Script Libraries (Google Web Fonts)

To ensure our content is displayed correctly and attractively across different browsers, we use script and font libraries such as Google Web Fonts (https://www.google.com/webfonts/) on this website. Google Web Fonts are transferred to your browser’s cache to avoid multiple downloads. If your browser does not support Google Web Fonts or blocks access to them, content will be displayed in a standard font.

Accessing script or font libraries automatically establishes a connection to the library provider. While it is theoretically possible that these providers collect data, it is currently unclear whether they do so and, if so, for what purposes. The library operator Google’s privacy policy can be found here: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/
