Privacy policy

of MAIT GmbH (hereinafter referred to as MAIT)

We take the protection of your personal data very seriously. It goes without saying that we always treat your personal data in accordance with the statutory data protection regulations. We have appointed a competent and reliable external data protection officer. The external data protection officer is provided by UIMC Dr. Voßbein GmbH & Co KG (www.uimc.de/datenschutz).

We reserve the right to occasionally adapt this privacy policy so that it always complies with current legal requirements or to implement changes to our services in the privacy policy, e.g. when introducing new services. The new privacy policy will then apply to your next visit.

Privacy policy for the website

You can use our online offer without disclosing your identity. If we request personal data on our website, e.g. in contact forms or during registration, this is done on a voluntary basis. We use this information for business purposes (such as sending the requested materials/information).

If you have any questions, we offer you the option of contacting us using a form provided on the website. The data marked as mandatory is required in order to assign and respond to your request. Further information can be provided voluntarily. Data processing for the purpose of contacting us is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR on the basis of your voluntary consent.

The personal data collected by us for the use of the contact form will be deleted after your request has been processed and after the expiry of the tax and commercial law retention obligations.

You can revoke your consent at any time with future effect without giving reasons, for example for the purpose of sending a newsletter or other interesting information from our company. To do so, you can use the above contact form or another method specified in the newsletter. 

Transfer of data

Your data will not be passed on to third parties for commercial or non-commercial purposes without your express consent. We will only pass on your personal data to third parties if this is legally permissible and/or necessary. We sometimes use service providers for order processing in accordance with Article 28 of the GDPR; for example, the website is hosted by Hetzner Online GmbH and maintained by MAIT in cooperation with VERDURE Medienteam GmbH. We remain fully responsible for data processing. We also use some plugins from other providers on our website; you can find more details below.

We would like to point out that we may also pass on your personal data to other companies within our group for the above-mentioned purposes [see "About us"]. The data transfer takes place on the basis of a legitimate interest in order to be able to offer you a comprehensive range of our services.

These companies may also be located outside the EU/EEA. We ensure an adequate level of data protection by concluding standard contractual clauses/binding corporate rules. You can request these from us at any time free of charge at: datenschutzbeauftragter@mait.de

Cookies and plugins

Our website uses cookies to obtain your consent to the storage of certain cookies on your device or to the use of certain technologies and to document this in accordance with data protection regulations. You can prevent the installation of cookies by adjusting the cookie banner or your browser settings accordingly. You also have the option of revoking your consent at any time in the cookie banner or in the cookie settings [link in settings]. This may mean that you are unable to use all offers in full.

Mamoto – Tracking Tool

We use Matomo (formerly Piwik), an open-source software for statistical analysis of visitor traffic, to deliver cookies. The information generated by the cookie about your use of the website is stored on a server in Germany. The IP address is anonymized immediately after processing and before storage. You can prevent the installation of cookies by changing the settings of your browser software. Please note that if you do so, you may not be able to use all the features of this website. You can decide whether a unique web analytics cookie may be stored in your browser to enable us to collect and analyze various statistical data. 

Conversion tracking with Google Ads

If you consent to the use of tracking cookies, this website uses Google Ads from Google Ireland Limited; Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. We use Google Ads Conversion to draw attention to our offers on external websites with the help of advertising media (so-called Google Ads). We can determine how successful the individual advertising measures are in relation to the data from the advertising campaigns. Our aim is to show you advertising that is relevant to you, to make our website more interesting for you, and to achieve a fair calculation of advertising costs. These advertising media are delivered by Google via so-called "ad servers." To do this, we use ad server cookies, which allow certain parameters for measuring success, such as the display of ads or clicks by users, to be measured. If you access our website via a Google ad, Google Ads will store a cookie on your device. These cookies expire after 30 days and are not used to identify you personally. The unique cookie ID, number of ad impressions per placement (frequency), last impression (relevant for post-view conversions), and information about any revocation (indicating that the user no longer wishes to be targeted) are stored as analysis values for this cookie.

These cookies enable Google to recognize your Internet browser. If a user visits certain pages of an Ads customer's website and the cookie stored on their computer has not yet expired, Google and the customer can recognize that the user has clicked on the ad and been redirected to that page (visit action evaluation). Each Ads customer is assigned a different cookie. Cookies cannot therefore be tracked across the websites of Ads customers. We ourselves do not collect or process any personal data in the advertising measures mentioned. We only receive statistical evaluations from Google. These evaluations enable us to identify which of the advertising measures used are particularly effective. We do not receive any further data from the use of the advertising media; in particular, we cannot identify users based on this information. Through the integration of Ads Conversion, Google receives the information that you have accessed the corresponding part of our website or clicked on one of our ads. If you are registered with a Google service, Google can associate the visit with your account. 

Further information on the handling of user data can be found in Google's privacy policy at: www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy [external site]. If, at a later date after giving your consent, you decide to withdraw your consent, you can deactivate personalized advertising from Google in the settings of the cookie banner or your browser settings for advertising. These settings are stored in your Google account (if you are logged in) or in your browser (if you are not logged in). Alternatively, you can install a browser plug-in to disable personalized advertising. You can find this here: https://support.google.com/ads/answer/7395996.

Mixpanel

We use analytics software from Mixpanel, Inc., 405 Howard St, Floor 2, San Francisco, CA 94105, USA. Mixpanel places a persistent cookie on your device that records your use of our service and is filled with information. This data is then analyzed by Mixpanel and forwarded to us. This gives us insight into how the service and website are used overall, and we can then decide whether changes to them are necessary or useful. You can find Mixpanel's privacy policy here: https://mixpanel.com/privacy/. If you do not agree to the collection and use of usage data by Mixpanel, you can disable Mixpanel by clicking here to set an opt-out cookie. Please note that setting the cookie only affects the browser you are currently using. In other browsers, Mixpanel can continue to collect usage data until you also deactivate Mixpanel there. In addition, the collection of usage data will resume when you delete the opt-out cookie.

The use of Mixpanel is based on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR).
