§ 5 Newsletter dispatch – use of CleverReach

(1) With your consent, you can subscribe to our newsletter, with which we inform you about our company and products.

(2) We use the so-called double-opt-in procedure to register for our newsletter. This means that after your registration, we will send you an email to the email address you provided in which we ask you to confirm that you wish to receive the newsletter. If you do not confirm your registration within [24 hours], your information will be blocked and automatically deleted after one month. In addition, we store your IP addresses used and the times of registration and confirmation. The purpose of this procedure is to be able to prove your registration and, if necessary, to clarify a possible misuse of your Personal Data.

(3) The only mandatory data for sending the newsletter is your e-mail address. The provision of further, separately marked data is voluntary and will be used to address you personally. After your confirmation, we store your e-mail address for the purpose of sending you the newsletter. The Legal Basis is Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. a DS-GVO.

(4) You can revoke your consent to receive the newsletter and unsubscribe at any time. You can declare the revocation by clicking on the link provided in every newsletter e-mail, by e-mail to [info@opheo.com] or by sending a message to the contact details given in the imprint.

(5) We would like to point out that we evaluate your user behaviour when sending the newsletter. For this evaluation, the emails sent contain so-called web beacons or tracking pixels, which are single-pixel image files stored on our website. For the evaluations, we link the data mentioned in § 3 and the web beacons with your e-mail address and an individual ID. Links received in the newsletter also contain this ID. The data is only collected pseudonymously, i.e. the IDs are not linked to your other Personal Data, a direct personal reference is excluded.

You can object to this tracking at any time by clicking on the separate link provided in each e-mail or by informing us via another contact channel. The information is stored for as long as you are subscribed to the newsletter. After unsubscribing, we store the data purely statistically and anonymously. Moreover, such tracking is not possible if you have deactivated the display of images by default in your e-mail programme. In this case, the newsletter will not be displayed to you in full and you may not be able to use all the functions. If you display the images manually, the above-mentioned tracking takes place.

§ Objection or revocation against the processing of your data

(1) If you have given your consent to the processing of your data, you may revoke this consent at any time. Such a revocation will affect the permissibility of the processing of your Personal Data after you have expressed it to us.

This is the case if the processing is in particular not necessary for the performance of a contract with you, which is shown by us in each case in the following description of the functions. When exercising such an objection, we ask you to explain the reasons why we should not process your Personal Data as we have done. In the event of your justified objection, we will review the merits of the case and either cease or adapt the data processing or show you our compelling Legitimate Grounds on the basis of which we will continue the processing.

§ 7 Website analysis through Google Analytics

Insofar as you have given your consent, this website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google LLC (“Google”). The use includes the operating mode “Universal Analytics”. This makes it possible to assign data, sessions and interactions across multiple devices to a pseudonymous user ID and thus to analyse the activities of a user across devices. This data protection notice is provided by www.intersoft-consulting.de.

Google Analytics uses “cookies”, which are text files placed on your computer, to help the website analyse how users use the site. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. In the event that IP anonymisation is activated on this website, however, your IP address will be truncated beforehand by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. We would like to point out that on this website Google Analytics has been extended to include IP anonymisation in order to ensure that IP addresses are recorded anonymously (so-called IP masking). The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data. You can find more information on the terms of use and data protection at https://www.google.com/analytics/terms/de.html bzw. unter https://policies.google.com/?hl=de.

Leadfeeder

Simultaneously with the use of Google Analytics, this website uses the Leadfeeder service, which is operated by Liidio Oy / Leadfeeder, Mikonkatu 17 C, 00100 Helsinki, Finland. Leadfeeder accesses the list of website visitors’ IP addresses provided by Google Analytics in the evaluation and links the list of IP addresses to information about the companies that can be found on the internet under these IP addresses. Due to the shortening of the IP addresses of the website visitors, which is already carried out when using Google Analytics, a direct personal reference is not established. A reference to a person can be made on a presumptive basis when reviewing the linked company information. For further information on Leadfeeder and the data collected, please see: www.leadfeeder.com/privacy/, Information on Leadfeeder and compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation: https://help.leadfeeder.com/en/articles/3561400-gdpr-privacy-and-security-summary.

We use the web service of Leadinfo B.V., Crooswijksesingel 50, 3034 CJ Rotterdam, The Netherlands. This recognizes visits by companies to our website based on IP addresses and shows us publicly available information such as company names or addresses for this purpose. In addition, Leadinfo processes domains from form submissions (e.g. “leadinfo.com”) in order to correlate IP addresses with companies and improve the services.

The use is based on our legitimate interests pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f. DSGVO for the analysis, optimization and economic operation of our offers. In this way, data is primarily collected in the B2B area and transmitted to us.
