User security is a top priority

IdeeRoth AG respects the privacy of users of the website. This privacy policy forms the basis for processing personal data and provides information about the type of user data collected by IdeeRoth AG and how IdeeRoth AG uses this data. IdeeRoth AG complies with applicable data protection rights and processes personal data solely for the purposes for which the data was provided. These privacy provisions are subject to periodic adjustments, supplements, or changes. Each new access or visit to the website is subject to the current and accessible version.

Types of data collected

When visiting the IdeeRoth AG website, statistical visitor data is collected regarding which parts of the website are visited most frequently by each user. This may include data regarding the user's browser, operating system, weblogs, and other connection data, regardless of whether their collection is necessary for our purposes or other purposes. In this context, the use of so-called cookies is sometimes necessary. The collected data does not include personal references or is sufficiently anonymized to prevent any conclusions being drawn about your identity.

Access data/server log files

The provider of the pages automatically collects and stores information in server log files that your browser automatically transmits to us. The access data includes:

• Name of the accessed webpage
• Date and time of access
• Transferred data volume
• Message about successful access
• Browser type and version, user's operating system
• Referrer URL (the URL referring to our website, e.g., Google search)
• IP address and requesting provider

The provider uses the log data only for statistical evaluations for the purpose of operation, security, and optimization of the offer. However, the provider reserves the right to review the log data retrospectively if there are concrete indications of illegal use based on specific evidence. IdeeRoth AG does not automatically collect personal data of users such as name, address, telephone number, or email address. An exception to this is information voluntarily transmitted by the user to IdeeRoth AG by filling out website forms or contacting IdeeRoth AG through the website in other ways.

Handling of personal data

Personal data refers to information that can be used to identify a person, such as name, email address, or telephone number. It also includes data about preferences, hobbies, memberships, or websites visited by someone. Personal data is only collected, used, and disclosed by the provider if permitted by law or if users consent to the data collection.

Protection of personal data

We have taken technical and organizational security measures to protect your personal data against loss, destruction, manipulation, and unauthorized access. Our security measures are continuously revised and improved in line with technological developments. When you use services on our website, your personal data is transmitted to us. To prevent this data from falling into the wrong hands, we encrypt it using the SSL (Secure Socket Layer) protocol. The SSL protocol is currently the most common and secure data transmission method on the Internet.

How does the SSL (Secure Socket Layer) process work?

The SSL (Secure Socket Layer) process is used to protect data that a customer sends over the internet to a company's server. SSL provides triple protection:

• Your input data is encrypted.
• It ensures that the form is only sent back to the server from which it was opened.
• It verifies that the data reaches its intended recipient completely and without any modifications.

SSL is used whenever you see a small (usually green) lock icon in the top left corner of your browser's address bar.

Handling of Contact Requests

When contacting us through our contact form, the user's information is stored for the purpose of processing the inquiry and for follow-up questions, if any. We do not disclose this data without your consent.

Use of Cookies

To make your visit to the website attractive and enable the use of certain features, we use cookies on various pages. These are small text files that are stored on your device (e.g., mobile phone, tablet, PC). Some of the cookies used are deleted after the end of your browser session (known as session cookies, e.g., to keep you logged in). Other cookies remain on your device and allow your browser to be recognized on your next visit (known as persistent cookies, e.g., storing your login data if desired). You can configure your browser to inform you about the use of cookies so that you can decide on a case-by-case basis whether to accept or reject them, or you can generally disable cookies. However, please note that without cookies, the functionality and user experience may be limited. More information can be found here: [link to cookie policy].

Use of Data

The anonymized data collected through cookies when accessing the IdeeRoth AG website may be used for analysis purposes, website optimization, and performance measurement. IdeeRoth AG may use the following third-party providers, which may have their own privacy policies that IdeeRoth AG has no control over:

• Google Analytics
• Google Adwords

Data voluntarily provided by users of the website as part of their interaction may be used by IdeeRoth AG for the purpose of improving the website and providing individual user support. This may include sending information, offers, or notifications related to the product range or services. The IdeeRoth AG newsletter is sent only if the user wishes to receive it (newsletter opt-in procedure).

Handling of Newsletter Data

If you subscribe to a newsletter, we require your email address and information that allows us to verify that you are the owner of the provided email address and agree to receive the newsletter. No further data is collected. We use this data solely for sending the requested information and do not disclose it to third parties. You can revoke your consent to the storage of data, email address, and use for newsletter delivery at any time.

Social Media Content

The IdeeRoth AG website may use social media plugins, such as Facebook, Google+, or Twitter. These platforms have their own privacy policies that IdeeRoth AG has no control over.

• Facebook
• Twitter
• Google+

If the user does not want any of these plugins to be loaded, it is recommended to log out of the corresponding social media service. Furthermore, various browsers can be configured or supplemented with add-ons (e.g., Facebook Blocker) to prevent the loading of social media plugins.

Use of Webfonts

This website uses external fonts, specifically Google Fonts. Google Fonts is a service provided by Google Inc. ("Google"). The integration of these web fonts is done by making a server request to a Google server, typically located in the United States. This request informs the server about which of our web pages you have visited. Additionally, the IP address of the visitor's browser on the end device is stored by Google.

Additionally, service providers who assist IdeeRoth AG in data processing, website management, or in any other way, as well as in the provision of products and services requested by the user, may be involved. These third parties are obligated to comply with the same level of security and data protection as IdeeRoth AG.

Purpose-bound Data Usage

Your personal data will not be disclosed to third parties without your express consent, unless it is necessary for the provision of the service or contract performance. Transmission to authorized governmental institutions and authorities will also only occur within the scope of legal obligations to provide information or if we are obliged to do so by a court decision. We take internal data protection very seriously as well. Our employees and the service providers we engage are obligated to maintain confidentiality and comply with data protection regulations.
