Data protection

For us, it is clear: your data belongs to you too. We take data protection very seriously. We consequently process such data exclusively on the basis of statutory provisions, in particular on the basis of the European General Data Protection Regulation (EU-GDPR), the German Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG) and the Telecommunications Act (TKG).

What is personal data and what data is used?

Personal data is information that can be attributed to an individual. This includes, for example, information such as name, address, email address, telephone number, customer number, birthday etc. as well as all IT data that is sent in the background.

Personal data is stored on the website of RECA NORM GmbH, processed and, if necessary, passed on to RECA Group companies for the transmission of product information or the submission of service offers. RECA NORM GmbH guarantees that your information will be treated confidentially in accordance with the applicable data protection regulations.

You have the right to obtain information about the origin, recipients and purpose of your stored personal data at any time. You also have a right to request the correction, blocking or deletion of this data. You can contact us at any time at the address given above concerning this as well as any further questions regarding data protection. You also have the right to submit a complaint to the competent supervisory authority.

SSL or TLS encryption

For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content such as orders or requests that you send to us as a site operator, this site uses SSL or TLS encryption. An encrypted connection is recognised by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from “http://” to “https://” and by the padlock symbol in your browser line.

Cookies

The acceptance of cookies is a requirement for visiting our website.

What are cookies?

Cookies and flash cookies are small files that are stored on your data carrier and which store certain settings and data for exchange with our system via your browser. In general, there are two different types of cookies: session cookies, which are deleted as soon as you close your browser, and temporary/permanent cookies, which are stored on your data carrier for a longer period of time or permanently. Storing cookies in this way helps us to tailor our website and our offers to you and helps you use our site, for example, by saving certain data input by you, so that you do not have to repeatedly do so.

We use cookies that are stored on your hard disk and can only be read again by our server if you re-establish a data connection to our server. Cookies are used to restore the settings you have made and to generate website statistics anonymously. You can set your browser to automatically accept cookies, to notify you of the sending of cookies or to exclude the use of cookies altogether. You can navigate freely on our website even if you do not allow the cookies on our website or delete them.

A detailed list of cookies can be found on the cookies page.

Data collection

Server log files

We automatically collect and store information in “server log files”, which are sent to us by your browser automatically. These are:

Browser type and browser version
Operating system used
Referrer URL
Host name of the accessing computer
Time of the server request
IP address

This data is not merged with other data sources. The basis of the data processing is Article 6 Para. 1 lit. f) GDPR, with the legitimate interest of the website operator being the correct presentation of the website and the guarantee of secure operation of the website.

Web analysis and advertising

This website uses the functions of the Google Analytics web analytics service. The provider is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.

Google Analytics uses “cookies”. These are text files that are stored on your computer and enable analysis of how you use the website. Information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there.

For more information on how Google Analytics handles user data, see Google’s privacy statement: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245?hl=de

Browser plug-in

You can prevent the storage of cookies using the appropriate setting in your browser software; however, please note that in this case you may not be able to use the full functionality of this website. You can also prevent the transmission to Google of data generated by the cookie and relating to your use of the website (incl. your IP address) and the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available at the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de

IP anonymisation

We use the “activate IP anonymisation” function on this website. This means that Google first shortens your IP address within member states of the European Union or in other countries that are parties to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transferred to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google uses this information to evaluate your usage of the website, to generate reports about website activities and to provide other services to the website operator relating to website and internet usage. The IP address provided by your browser as part of Google Analytics is not merged with other data by Google.

Social plug-ins

YouTube

We have incorporated YouTube videos into our online offering, which are stored at www.youtube.com and can be played directly from our website. All videos are integrated in “extended privacy mode”, i.e. no data about you as a user will be transferred to YouTube if you do not play the videos. Data is not transferred until you play the videos. We have no control over this data transmission. This occurs regardless of whether YouTube provides a user account through which you are logged in or whether there is no user account. If you are logged into Google, your data will be directly assigned to your account.

If you do not want to be associated with your profile on YouTube, you must log out of YouTube before playing the video. YouTube stores your data as a usage profile and uses it for advertising, market research and/or customisation of its website. You have the right to object to the creation of such user profiles; you must direct your objection to YouTube.

YouTube is used to present our online offering in an attractive way. This constitutes a legitimate interest as defined by Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR.

For more information on the purpose and scope of data collection and processing by YouTube, please refer to the privacy statement. There you will also find more information about your rights and settings to protect your privacy: https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy. Google also processes your personal data in the USA and is subject to the EU-US Privacy Shield, https://www.privacyshield.gov/EU-US-Framework.

YouTube is operated by Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.

Legal basis

Data processing takes place on the basis of your consent (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR). You may revoke this consent at any time. The legality of data processing operations already carried out shall remain unaffected by this revocation.
