Analysis tools and third-party tools

On our website we use the open-source software tool Matomo (formerly PIWIK) to analyze the browsing behavior of our users. With Matomo, no data is transmitted to servers outside the control of Syndicats. Matomo is configured not to use cookies. To us, your IP address is an anonymous identifier, which is used shortened by the last two bytes and therefore does not allow identification. We have no technical means of identifying you as a user on this basis. This analysis is part of the website and is used to improve the website.

The following data is transmitted to Matomo:

  1. 2 bytes of the IP address of the user's accessing system
  2. The page accessed
  3. The page from which the user reached the page accessed (referrer)
  4. The subpages accessed from the page accessed
  5. The time spent on the website
  6. The frequency of visits to the website

The software runs exclusively on the servers of our website. The users' personal data is not stored there. The data is not passed on to third parties.

2. General information and mandatory information

Personal data is data by which you can be personally identified. This privacy policy explains which data we collect and what we use it for. It also explains how and for what purpose this is done. Please note that data transmission over the internet (e.g. when communicating by email) may be subject to security vulnerabilities.

The controller is the natural or legal person who, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data (e.g. names, email addresses or the like).

Withdrawal of your consent to data processing

Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You may withdraw consent you have already given at any time. An informal notification by email to us is sufficient for this. The lawfulness of the data processing carried out until the withdrawal remains unaffected by the withdrawal.

The competent supervisory authority in data protection matters is the data protection commissioner of the German federal state in which our company has its registered office.

You have the right to have data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfillment of a contract handed over to you or to a third party in a common, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only be done insofar as it is technically feasible.

SSL or TLS encryption

For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or inquiries that you send to us as the site operator, this site uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the address bar of your browser changing from "http://" to "https://" and by the lock symbol in your browser bar. If SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.
