Privacy policy

1. Introduction

With the following information, we would like to give you as a "data subject" an overview of the processing of your personal data by us and your rights under data protection laws. It is generally possible to use our website without entering personal data. However, if you wish to make use of special services of our company via our website, it may be necessary to process personal data. If the processing of personal data is necessary and there is no legal basis for such processing, we generally obtain your consent.

The processing of personal data, such as your name, address or e-mail address, is always carried out in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and in accordance with the country-specific data protection regulations applicable to "EOL Packaging Experts GmbH". By means of this privacy policy, we would like to inform you about the scope and purpose of the personal data we collect, use and process.

As the controller, we have implemented numerous technical and organizational measures to ensure the most complete protection possible for personal data processed via this website. Nevertheless, internet-based data transmissions can generally have security gaps, so that absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, you are free to transmit personal data to us by alternative means, for example by telephone or post.

As the controller, we have implemented numerous technical and organizational measures to ensure that the personal data processed via this website is protected as completely as possible. Nevertheless, Internet-based data transmissions can generally have security gaps, so that absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, you are free to transmit personal data to us by alternative means, for example by telephone or post.

You can also take simple and easy-to-implement measures to protect yourself against unauthorized access to your data by third parties. We would therefore like to take this opportunity to give you some tips on how to handle your data securely:

  • Protect your account (login, user or customer account) and your IT system (computer, laptop, tablet or mobile device) with secure passwords.

  • Only you should have access to the passwords.

  • Make sure that you only ever use your passwords for one account (login, user or customer account).

  • Do not use one password for different websites, applications or online services.

  • Especially when using publicly accessible IT systems or IT systems shared with other people, you should always log out after logging in to a website, application or online service.

 

Passwords should consist of at least 12 characters and be chosen in such a way that they cannot be easily guessed. Therefore, they should not contain common everyday words, your own name or the names of relatives, but should contain upper and lower case letters, numbers and special characters.

4. Definitions of terms

The data protection declaration is based on the terms used by the European legislator for the adoption of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Our privacy policy should be easy to read and understand for the public as well as for our customers and business partners. To ensure this, we would like to explain the terminology used in advance.

We use the following terms, among others, in this privacy policy

1. Personal data

Personal data is any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. An identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person.

2 Data subject

Data subject is any identified or identifiable natural person whose personal data is processed by the controller (our company).

3. Processing

Processing is any operation or set of operations which is performed on personal data or on sets of personal data, whether or not by automated means, such as collection, recording, organization, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure or destruction.

4. Restriction of processing

Restriction of processing is the marking of stored personal data with the aim of limiting its future processing.

5. Profiling

Profiling means any form of automated processing of personal data consisting of the use of personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to analyze or predict aspects concerning that natural person's performance at work, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behavior, location or movements.

6. Pseudonymization

Pseudonymization is the processing of personal data in such a manner that the personal data can no longer be attributed to a specific data subject without the use of additional information, provided that such additional information is kept separately and is subject to technical and organizational measures to ensure that the personal data are not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.

7 Processor

Processor is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which processes personal data on behalf of the controller.

8. Recipient

Recipient is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or another body, to which the personal data are disclosed, whether a third party or not. However, public authorities which may receive personal data in the framework of a particular inquiry in accordance with Union or Member State law shall not be regarded as recipients.

9. Third party

A third party is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or body other than the data subject, controller, processor and persons who, under the direct authority of the controller or processor, are authorized to process personal data.

10. Consent

Consent is any freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous indication of the data subject's wishes by which he or she, by a statement or by a clear affirmative action, signifies agreement to the processing of personal data relating to him or her.

 

5. Legal basis of the processing

Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR (in conjunction with § 25 para. 1 TTDSG) serves our company as the legal basis for processing operations for which we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose.

If the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which you are a party, as is the case, for example, with processing operations that are necessary for the delivery of goods or the provision of another service or consideration, the processing is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR. The same applies to such processing operations that are necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures, for example in cases of inquiries about our products or services.

If our company is subject to a legal obligation which requires the processing of personal data, such as for the fulfillment of tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR.

In rare cases, the processing of personal data may be necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor were injured in our company and their name, age, health insurance details or other vital information would have to be passed on to a doctor, hospital or other third party. The processing would then be based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. d GDPR.

Finally, processing operations could be based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. This legal basis is used for processing operations which are not covered by any of the abovementioned legal grounds, if processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by our company or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject which require protection of personal data. We are permitted to carry out such processing operations in particular because they have been specifically mentioned by the European legislator. In this respect, it took the view that a legitimate interest could be assumed if you are a customer of our company (Recital 47 Sentence 2 GDPR).

 

6. Transfer of data to third parties

Your personal data will not be transferred to third parties for purposes other than those listed below.

We only pass on your personal data to third parties if:

1. you have given us your express consent to do so in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR,

2. the disclosure pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR is permissible to safeguard our legitimate interests and there is no reason to assume that you have an overriding interest worthy of protection in not disclosing your data,

3. in the event that there is a legal obligation for the disclosure pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR, and

4. this is legally permissible and necessary for the processing of contractual relationships with you in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR.

In order to protect your data and, if necessary, to enable us to transfer data to third countries (outside the EU/EEA), we have concluded data processing agreements based on the standard contractual clauses of the European Commission. This sometimes does not apply to data transfers to third countries for which the European Commission has issued an adequacy decision in accordance with Art. 45 GDPR.

 

7 Technology

7.1 SSL/TLS encryption

This site uses SSL or TLS encryption to ensure the security of data processing and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders, login data or contact requests that you send to us as the operator. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the "https://" instead of "http://" in the address line of the browser and by the lock symbol in your browser line.

We use this technology to protect your transmitted data.

 

8. Cookies

8.1 General information about cookies

We use cookies on our website. These are small files that your browser automatically creates and that are stored on your IT system (laptop, tablet, smartphone, etc.) when you visit our website.

Information is stored in the cookie that results from the connection with the specific end device used. However, this does not mean that we obtain direct knowledge of your identity.

The use of cookies serves to make the use of our website more pleasant for you. For example, we use so-called session cookies to recognize that you have already visited individual pages of our website. These are automatically deleted after you leave our site.

In addition, we also use temporary cookies to optimize user-friendliness, which are stored on your end device for a specified period of time. If you visit our site again to use our services, it is automatically recognized that you have already visited us and which entries and settings you have made so that you do not have to enter them again.

On the other hand, we use cookies to statistically record the use of our website and to evaluate our offer for you for the purpose of optimization. These cookies enable us to automatically recognize that you have already visited our website when you visit it again. The cookies set in this way are automatically deleted after a defined period of time. The respective storage duration of the cookies can be found in the settings of the consent tool used.

 

8.2 Legal basis for the use of cookies

The data processed by cookies, which are required for the proper functioning of the website, are necessary to safeguard our legitimate interests and those of third parties in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.

The processing of your personal data by our consent cookie (CookieHint) is carried out in order to map and prove your consent to the delivery of technically unnecessary cookies and thus for the purpose of complying with applicable legal provisions in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR.

For all other cookies, you have given your consent to this via cookie banners within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR.

Your current cookie setting:

 

9. Contacting us / contact form

Personal data is collected when you contact us (e.g. via contact form or email). Which data is collected when a contact form is used can be seen from the respective contact form. We use contact forms from the provider HubSpot. Information on the corresponding data processing can be found under "HubSpot, HubSpot CMS, HubSpot contact forms" further down in this privacy policy.

This data is stored and used exclusively for the purpose of responding to your request or for establishing contact and the associated technical administration. The legal basis for processing the data is our legitimate interest in responding to your request in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. If your contact is aimed at concluding a contract, the additional legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b) GDPR.

Your data will be deleted after final processing of your request; this is the case if it can be inferred from the circumstances that the matter in question has been finally clarified and the deletion does not conflict with any statutory retention requirements.

 

10. Social media plugins

10.1 LinkedIn plugin

We have integrated components of the LinkedIn Corporation on this website. LinkedIn is an internet-based social network that enables users to connect with existing business contacts and make new business contacts.

The operating company of LinkedIn is LinkedIn Corporation, 2029 Stierlin Court Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. LinkedIn Ireland, Privacy Policy Issues, Wilton Plaza, Wilton Place, Dublin 2, Ireland, is responsible for data protection matters outside the USA.

Each time you access our website, which is equipped with a LinkedIn component (LinkedIn plug-in), this component causes the browser you are using to download a corresponding representation of the LinkedIn component. Further information about the LinkedIn plug-ins may be accessed under https://developer.linkedin.com/plugins. As part of this technical process, LinkedIn receives information about which specific subpage of our website you have visited.

If you are logged in to LinkedIn at the same time, LinkedIn recognizes which specific subpage of our website you are visiting each time you visit our website and for the entire duration of your stay on our website. This information is collected by the LinkedIn component and assigned to your LinkedIn account by LinkedIn. If you click on a LinkedIn button integrated on our website, LinkedIn assigns this information to your personal LinkedIn user account and stores this personal data.

LinkedIn always receives information via the LinkedIn component that you have visited our website if you are logged in to LinkedIn at the same time as accessing our website; this takes place regardless of whether you have clicked on the LinkedIn component or not. If you do not want this information to be transmitted to LinkedIn, you can prevent it from being transmitted by logging out of your LinkedIn account before accessing our website.

LinkedIn offers the option to unsubscribe from email messages, SMS messages and targeted ads and to manage ad settings at https://www.linkedin.com/psettings/guest-controls. LinkedIn also uses partners such as Quantcast, Google Analytics, BlueKai, DoubleClick, Nielsen, Comscore, Eloqua and Lotame, which may set cookies. Such cookies can be rejected at https://www.linkedin.com/legal/cookie-policy. The applicable data protection provisions of LinkedIn may be retrieved under https://www.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy LinkedIn's cookie policy is available at https://www.linkedin.com/legal/cookie-policy


10.2 YouTube plugin

We have integrated YouTube components on this website. YouTube is an Internet video portal that enables video publishers to post video clips free of charge and other users to view, rate and comment on them, also free of charge. YouTube allows the publication of all types of videos, which is why complete film and television programs as well as music videos, trailers or videos made by users themselves can be accessed via the Internet portal.

The operating company of YouTube is YouTube, LLC, 901 Cherry Ave, San Bruno, CA 94066, USA. YouTube, LLC is a subsidiary of Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

Each time you access one of the individual pages of this website, which is operated by us and on which a YouTube component (YouTube plug-in) has been integrated, the Internet browser on your IT system is automatically prompted by the respective YouTube component to download a representation of the corresponding YouTube component from YouTube. Further information about YouTube can be found at https://www.youtube.com/yt/about/de/. During the course of this technical procedure, YouTube and Google gain knowledge of what specific sub-page of our website was visited by you.

If you are logged in to YouTube at the same time, YouTube recognizes which specific subpage of our website you are visiting when you access a subpage that contains a YouTube plugin. This information is collected by YouTube and Google and assigned to your YouTube account.

YouTube and Google always receive information via the YouTube component that you have visited our website if you are logged in to YouTube at the same time as accessing our website; this happens regardless of whether you click on a YouTube video or not. If you do not want this information to be transmitted to YouTube and Google, you can prevent it from being transmitted by logging out of your YouTube account before accessing our website.

The use of YouTube is in the interest of a comfortable and easy use of our website. This constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.

The data protection provisions published by YouTube, which can be accessed at https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/, provide information about the collection, processing and use of personal data by YouTube and Google.

 

11. Web analysis

11.1 HubSpot, HubSpot CMS, HubSpot contact forms

We use HubSpot functions on this website. The provider is HubSpot, Inc, 25 First Street, Cambridge, MA 02141, USA.

HubSpot tracks visitors to our website using browser cookies. Each time you access our website, HubSpot checks whether a HubSpot tracking cookie is set. If no such cookie is already present on your browser, a HubSpot cookie will be set - provided you give your consent - to record all our web pages that you subsequently access.

Please note the following with regard to HubSpot's handling of tracking cookies:

  • Your visit to our websites will only be tracked using the HubSpot cookie if you have given your consent to the setting of the HubSpot cookie or all tracking cookies.

  • If you fill out and submit one of the HubSpot forms on our websites (e.g. a contact form) and have given your consent to the setting of the HubSpot cookie, HubSpot will assign your previous page views resulting from the tracking cookie to the form you have submitted.

  • If you have already been in contact with us, your e-mail address submitted via the form will be assigned to the information already stored by us.

  • If you delete all your cookies or specifically the HubSpot cookies, you will be considered a new visitor to our website and a new cookie will be set. However, HubSpot automatically duplicates all form submissions received from the same email address, even if different browser cookies have been assigned to these submissions.

  • Since cookies are only set once on a browser, submissions from two people who share a single computer are assigned to one and the same contact entry. This cookie deduplication ensures that if a contact person sends forms to your website from different email addresses, all submissions are assigned to a single contact entry in HubSpot.

  • HubSpot assigns page views to a contact person when the contact person clicks on a link in a tracked marketing email that redirects to a page on which the HubSpot tracking code is installed.

These processing operations are only carried out if express consent is given in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR. Your data will be stored until you withdraw your consent.

In addition, certain technically necessary cookies are set through the use of our website, which are not subject to the consent requirement. These include:

__cf_bm (Cloudflare): This cookie is used to identify and filter bot requests to ensure the security and integrity of the website. It is essential for the protection of the website and is automatically deleted when the session ends.

_cfuvid (Cloudflare): Used to manage access control and security verification of requests, especially when using Cloudflare services. This cookie is necessary to ensure the security and availability of the website.

These cookies are used exclusively for security purposes and do not contain any personal data. As they are necessary for the operation and protection of the website, they are stored on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR (legitimate interest in the security of the website).

This US company is certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework. This constitutes an adequacy decision pursuant to Art. 45 GDPR, meaning that personal data may be transferred without further guarantees or additional measures.

You can find more information about HubSpot at:https://legal.hubspot.com/privacy-policy.

 

12. Partner and affiliate programs

12.1 DoubleClick

This website contains components of DoubleClick by Google. DoubleClick is a brand of Google (Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland), under which special online marketing solutions are marketed to advertising agencies and publishers.

DoubleClick by Google transmits data to the DoubleClick server with every impression as well as with clicks or other activities. Each of these data transfers triggers a cookie request to your browser. If the browser accepts this request, DoubleClick places a cookie on your IT system. The purpose of the cookie is to optimize and display advertising. Among other things, the cookie is used to place and display user-relevant advertising and to create reports on advertising campaigns or to improve them. The cookie is also used to avoid multiple displays of the same advertisement.

DoubleClick uses a cookie ID that is required for the technical process. The cookie ID is required, for example, to display an advertisement in a browser. DoubleClick can also use the cookie ID to record which advertisements have already been displayed in a browser in order to avoid duplication. The cookie ID also enables DoubleClick to record conversions.

A DoubleClick cookie does not contain any personal data. However, a DoubleClick cookie may contain additional campaign IDs. A campaign ID is used to identify the campaigns with which you have already been in contact.

Each time you access one of the individual pages of this website, which is operated by us and on which a DoubleClick component has been integrated, the Internet browser on your IT system is prompted by the respective DoubleClick component to transmit data to Google for the purpose of online advertising and billing of commissions. As part of this technical process, Google obtains knowledge of data that Google also uses to create commission statements. Among other things, Google can see that you have clicked on certain links on our website.

You can prevent DoubleClick and our website from setting cookies at any time by adjusting your Internet browser settings accordingly. In addition, cookies that have already been set can be deleted at any time via the Internet browser or other software programs.

These processing operations are only carried out with your express consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR.

You can view the data protection provisions of DoubleClick by Google at: https://www.google.com/intl/de/policies/.

 

13. Plugins and other services

13.1 Google Maps

We use Google Maps (API) on our website. The operating company of Google Maps is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. Google Ireland Limited is part of the Google group of companies headquartered at 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. Google Maps is a web service for displaying interactive (land) maps in order to visualize geographical information. By using this service, you can, for example, view our location and make it easier for you to find us.

Information about your use of our website (such as your IP address) is transmitted to Google servers in the USA and stored there as soon as you access the subpages in which the Google Maps map is integrated. This takes place regardless of whether Google provides a user account through which you are logged in or whether no user account exists. If you are logged in to Google, your data will be assigned directly to your account. If you do not wish your data to be associated with your Google profile, you must log out of your Google user account. Google stores your data (even for users who are not logged in) as usage profiles and analyzes them. You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles, whereby you must contact Google to exercise this right.

If you do not agree to the future transmission of your data to Google when using Google Maps, you also have the option of completely deactivating the Google Maps web service by switching off the JavaScript application in your browser. Google Maps and thus also the map display on this website can then not be used.

These processing operations are only carried out with your express consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR.

You can view Google's terms of use at https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/terms/regional.html, the additional terms of use for Google Maps can be found at https://www.google.com/intl/de_US/help/terms_maps.html

You can view the data protection provisions of Google Maps at ("Google Privacy Policy"): https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/.


13.2 Google Photos

We use the online service of the provider Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA, to store images that are embedded on our homepage.

Embedding is the integration of specific third-party content (text, video or image data) that is provided by another website (Google Photos) and then appears on our own website (our website). An embed code is used for embedding. If we have integrated an embed code, the external content from Google Photos is displayed immediately by default as soon as one of our web pages is visited.

Your IP address is transmitted to Google Photos via the technical implementation of the embed code, which enables the images from Google Photos to be displayed. Google Photos also records our website, the type of browser used, the browser language, the time and length of access. In addition, Google Photos may collect information about which of our subpages you have visited and which links you have clicked on, as well as other interactions you have carried out when visiting our site. This data may be stored and analyzed by Google Photos.

These processing operations are only carried out with your express consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR.

You can view Google's privacy policy at: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/.


13.3 Google WebFonts

Our website uses so-called web fonts for the uniform display of fonts. Google WebFonts are provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. Google Ireland Limited is part of the Google group of companies headquartered at 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.

These processing operations are only carried out with your express consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR.

14. Web analysis

14.1 Google Analytics 4 (GA4)

On our websites, we use Google Analytics 4 (GA4), a web analysis service of Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland ("Google").
In this context, pseudonymized user profiles are created and cookies (see "Cookies") are used. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website may include, but is not limited to

  • a short-term recording of the IP address without permanent storage

  • location data

  • browser type/version

  • Operating system used

  • Referrer URL (previously visited page)

  • Time of the server request

The pseudonymized data may be transmitted by Google to a server in the USA and stored there.

The information is used to evaluate the use of the website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide other services relating to website activity and internet usage for the purposes of market research and the needs-based design of this website. This information may also be transferred to third parties if this is required by law or if third parties process this data on our behalf.

These processing operations are only carried out if express consent is given in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR.

Google's default data storage period is 14 months. Otherwise, the personal data is stored for as long as it is required to fulfill the purpose of processing. The data is deleted as soon as it is no longer required to achieve the purpose.

The parent company Google LLC is certified as a US company under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework. This constitutes an adequacy decision pursuant to Art. 45 GDPR, meaning that personal data may be transferred without further guarantees or additional measures.

Further information on data protection when using GA4 can be found at:https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/12017362?hl=de.

14.2 Google Analytics 4 (GA4) - Additional information on consent mode, simple implementation

Under the Digital Markets Act, Google is required to obtain user consent before processing user data for personalized advertising. Google meets this requirement with the "Consent Mode". Users are obliged to implement this and thus prove that they have obtained the consent of website visitors.

Google offers two implementation modes, the simple and the advanced implementation.

We use the simple implementation method of Google Consent Mode. Only if you give your consent to the use of Google Analytics (see above) will a connection to Google be established, a Google code executed and the processing described above carried out. If you refuse consent, Google will only receive information that consent has not been given. The Google code is not executed and no Google Analytics cookies are set.
