§ 6 Newsletter

(1) With your consent you can subscribe to our newsletter, allowing you to keep informed about our current interesting offers. The advertised goods and services are indicated in the declaration of consent.

(2) We use the so-called double opt-in procedure during registration for our newsletter. This means that we send you an email to the email address indicated after your registration, in which we ask you to confirm that you wish to receive the newsletter. If you do not confirm your registration within 7 days, your information will be blocked and deleted automatically after one month. We shall also save your IP addresses used as well as the times of the registration and confirmation. The purpose of the procedure is to verify your registration and, if necessary, enable a potential misuse of your personal data to be clarified.

(3) Mandatory data for sending the newsletter are your email address and your name. The indication of further, separately marked data is voluntary and is used to assign you to a company insofar as you appear relevant for a company and you can respond in your language. After confirmation, we shall save your email address for the purpose of sending the newsletter. The legal basis for this is Art. 6 paragraph 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR. Upon registering for the newsletter, we shall also send you the IP address of the computer system used at the time of registration and assigned by the internet service provider (ISP) as well as the date and time of the registration.

You can cancel this by clicking on the link provided in each newsletter e-mail, via this form on the website ( https://unsubscribe.newsletter2go.com/form.html?n2g=g67bqy9j-e382te4n-12kf&_ga=2.200543405.2025831998.1561012716- 1791163065.1561012716 ), by e-mail to news@bekum.de or by a message to the contact details specified in the imprint.

For this evaluation, the sent emails contain so-called web beacons and/or tracking pixels, which represent one-pixel image files that are saved on our website. For the evaluations, we link the data indicated in § 3 and the web beacons to your email address and an individual ID. Links received in the newsletter also contain this ID. We use the data obtained in this way to create a user profile in order to customise the newsletter to your individual requirements. In doing so, we record when you read our newsletter and which links you click on in the newsletter so as to derive your personal interests from this. We link this data to actions you perform on our website.

(6) You can withdraw from this tracking at any time by clicking on the separate link provided in each email, or informing us via another means of contact. The information will be saved for as long as you are subscribed to the newsletter. After you have unsubscribed we shall only store the data anonymously and purely for statistical purposes. Nor is such tracking possible if you have deactivated the display of images by default in your email program. In this case, the newsletter will not be displayed completely to you and you might not be able to use all functions. If you have the images displayed manually, the above tracking will occur.

(7) The newsletter is sent by Sendinblue GmbH, Köpenicker Str. 126, 10179 Berlin. The legal basis for the processing of your data is Art. 6 paragraph 1 lit. a GDPR. You can read the data privacy policies of Sendinblue GmbH here: https://de.sendinblue.com/legal/privacypolicy/?rtype=n2go .

§ 7 Use of Google services on our website

(1) Our website uses YouTube and Google Maps, which are provided by Google Ireland Limited ("Google"), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. A more detailed description of the specific Google services we use can be found in our comprehensive privacy policy.
The integration of Google services allows Google to collect and process various information, including personal data. There is a possibility that Google may transmit this information to a server in a third country.
The transfer of personal data to the USA varies depending on the type of personal data transmitted. In our role as data controller, we may transfer data to Google in the USA, where it will be further used.

Currently, there is no adequacy decision pursuant to Article 45 of the GDPR. Nevertheless, the transfer may be based on standard contractual clauses. Google has committed to comply with the Standard Contractual Clauses (SCC) for the transfer of personal data to third countries in accordance with Directive 95/46/EC. Additional information on the Standard Contractual Clauses can be found at the following links:
https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/law-topic/data-protection/international-dimension-data-protection/standard-contractuals-clauses-scc_en
https://policies.google.com/privacy/frameworks?hl=en

We have no control over the data that Google actually collects and processes. However, Google states that the following information could be collected and processed:
• Log data (especially IP address)
• Location-based data
• Unique application numbers
• Cookies and similar technologies
More detailed information about the types of cookies used by Google can be found here: https://policies.google.com/technologies/types

If you are logged into your Google account, Google may associate the processed information with your account, depending on your account settings. Google explains in its privacy policy https://privacy.google.com/take-control.html that you can prevent the association of this data by logging out of your Google account or adjusting your account settings in your Google account.

For further information, please refer to Google's privacy policy, which you can view here. Information about Google's privacy settings can be found here: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/

(2) Integration of YouTube
Our website integrates videos and plugins from YouTube, a service of YouTube LLC ("YouTube"), 901 Cherry Ave., San Bruno, CA 94066, USA, which is a subsidiary of Google Ireland Limited ("Google"), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.
The integration of YouTube is done by embedding the service into our website using a so-called "iFrame". When loading this iFrame, YouTube or Google may collect and process information, including personal data. It cannot be ruled out that YouTube or Google will transmit this information to a server in a third country.
By integrating YouTube, we enable you to directly view various videos on our website. The legal basis for this data processing is Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in the significant benefits that YouTube offers. By embedding external videos, we relieve our servers and can use these resources elsewhere. This can, among other things, contribute to the stability of our servers. YouTube or Google also has a legitimate interest in the data collected to improve its services.

(3) Integration of Google Maps
Our website integrates map material from Google Maps, a service of Google Ireland Limited ("Google"), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.
The integration of Google Maps is also done by embedding the service into our website using "iFrames". When loading this iFrame, Google may collect and process information, including personal data. It cannot be ruled out that Google will transmit this information to a server in a third country.
By integrating Google Maps, we offer you convenient use of the map function: you can easily find our locations and, if necessary, calculate routes to us. The legal basis for this data processing is Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in improving the functionality of our website. Google also has a legitimate interest in the data collected to improve its services and tailor them to specific needs.

§ 8 Web tracking by Google Analytics

(1) This website uses Google Analytics, a web tracking service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland ("Google"). The purpose of our use of the tool is to enable the analysis of your user interactions on websites and in apps and to use the statistics and reports obtained to improve our offer and make it more interesting for you as user.

(2) We collect the interactions between you as user of the website and our website primarily with the help of cookies, device/browser data, IP addresses and website or app activities. Google Analytics also collects your IP addresses in order to ensure the security of the service and to provide us, as the website operator, with information about the country, region or location from which the respective user originates (so-called "IP location determination"). For your protection, however, we naturally use the anonymization function ("IP masking"), i.e. that Google truncates the IP addresses by the last octet within the EU/EEA.


(3) Google acts as an order processor and we have concluded a corresponding contract with Google. The information generated by the cookie and the (usually shortened) IP addresses about your use of this website are usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and processed there. For these cases, Google has, according to its own information, imposed a standard on itself that corresponds to the former EU-US Privacy Shield and has promised to comply with applicable data protection laws in the international transfer of data. We have also agreed to so-called standard contractual clauses with Google, the purpose of which is to ensure compliance with an appropriate level of data protection in the third country.


(4) The legal basis for the collection and further processing of the information (which takes place for a maximum of 14 months) is your given consent (Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. a DS-GVO). The revocation of your consent is possible at any time without affecting the permissibility of the processing until the revocation. In apps, you can reset the advertising ID under the Android or iOS settings. The easiest way to revoke your consent is to use our Consent Manager or to install the Google browser add-on, which can be accessed via the following link: tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en/ .
