Data privacy policy

EUROBAUSTOFF is aware of the importance of protecting your privacy when using our websites. We take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We would therefore like to inform you of the following: when we store data, which data is stored, how we use it and what rights you are entitled to. Please note that we cannot provide guarantees for other providers whose website you may reach via links on our website.

1        Scope of application

1.1       This data privacy policy applies to the use of the websites provided by EUROBAUSTOFF Handelsgesellschaft mbH & Co. KG which you can reach at www.eurobaustoff.de (hereinafter referred to as "Eurobaustoff websites"). This data privacy policy does not apply to other websites of EUROBAUSTOFF Handelsgesellschaft mbH & Co. KG or to the websites of other service providers to which Eurobaustoff websites refer by means of a link.

1.2       The data controller within the meaning of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is:   
EUROBAUSTOFF Handelsgesellschaft mbH & Co. KG
Daimlerstraße 5d         
76185 Karlsruhe

2        Personal data

Personal data is any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. The fundamental item of personal data is your name. In addition to this, however, your gender, your date of birth, your address, your profession, your e-mail address and your IP address, for example, are also considered to be personal data. Non-personal data, on the other hand, is data from which it is impossible to determine your actual identity or at the very least requires considerable effort to do so. This includes, for example, the information mentioned above if we receive it anonymously or under a pseudonym and therefore cannot associate it with a natural person.

3        Principle of anonymity

When using Eurobaustoff websites, you remain anonymous to us as long as you do not voluntarily provide us with personal data by writing to us via our contact form , using our adviser tools or applying to us via our online application form.

4        Providing personal data

4.1       To use Eurobaustoff websites it is neither required by law nor by contract,to provide personal data, nor is it necessary for entering into a contract. You are not obliged to provide personal data about yourself. However, you may not visit Eurobaustoff websites without transmitting the IP address that you are using.

4.2       Contacting us via our contact form, using our adviser tools and using the online application tool require the provision or collection of the data described in more detail in sections 7, 8 and 9. If you do not provide us with this data, you will not be able to use the contact form , the relevant adviser tools or the online application tool.

5        Processing personal data

5.1       We automatically collect and record the following data on each of your visits to Eurobaustoff websites:

  •        country of origin
  •        requesting domain
  •        web browser used
  •        operating system used
  •        notification of successful and unsuccessful access
  •        entry and exit pages
  •        volume of data transferred
  •        date and time of request
  •        name of the requested file
  •        IP address of the requesting computer

This data is stored on our web server for a standard period of 4 weeks, after which it is automatically deleted. The data is not stored in log files beyond this period. The storage period mentioned above is necessary in order to meet our own legitimate interests and in order to meet the legal requirements for data security.

5.2       In all other cases, we will only process your personal data if you voluntarily provide us with this information and it is legally permitted or you have given your consent. The personal data you have provided to us will be used exclusively for the purposes disclosed in this data privacy policy or expressly agreed with you.

5.3       We commission various service providers to support us in providing, operating and maintaining our IT systems, including Eurobaustoff websites. These include, for example, hardware and software suppliers, service providers such as web agencies, hosting providers or data centres. If such service providers act on our behalf, it may be the case that they, as recipients, gain access to your personal data. However, these service providers are then likewise contractually obliged to comply with data protection measures via a “commissioned data processing agreement”. In any case, the legal provisions on data protection also apply to our service providers.

5.4       Your personal data will not be passed on, sold or otherwise transferred to third parties. Exceptions to this apply only if this is necessary for the processing of the purposes notified or agreed upon and is this is permitted under applicable data protection law without consent, if you have expressly given consent or if we are legally obliged to do so. Point 5.3 remains unaffected and applies independently of Point 5.4.

5.5       The personal data provided by you on Eurobaustoff websites, or collected by us, is not used for automated decision-making.

12     Use of cookies

12.1     On Eurobaustoff websites we use what are known as “cookies”. These are small text files which are stored on your device (PC, smartphone, tablet, etc.). Most of the cookies we use are deleted from your drive (hard disk, solid-state drive, flash memory, etc.) at the end of the browser session (these are called “session cookies”). Other cookies remain on your device and allow us to recognise your device on your next visit (these are called “permanent cookies”). We also use cookies from third parties that allow them to process personal data about you and to potentially amalgamate the information obtained with other data about you that these third parties have already stored or collected from you during your use of the third party services.

12.2   As soon as you visit Eurobaustoff websites, you will be informed about the use of cookies. Notwithstanding this notice, the following cookies are used:

  •  cookieconsent_dismissed: saves the confirmation of the cookie notice. This controls the display of the notice. No personal data is stored in the cookie.
  •  fe_typo_user: ###: this is a session cookie that ensures the current connection to the server.  This does not store the IP in order to recognise the visitor.

12.3     The legal basis for our use of cookies is our legitimate interest in designing our web pages on Eurobaustoff websites in line with requirements (Art. 6, paragraph 1 (f) GDPR).

12.4     In the security settings of your browser you can view and delete stored cookies at any time as well as restrict or prohibit the acceptance of cookies.

12.5     When using third-party services on Eurobaustoff websites (e. g. YouTube videos) or when you click on a link, third-party cookies may be used without our express warning. In the security settings of your browser you can also view and delete these stored cookies at any time as well as restrict or prohibit the acceptance of cookies.

13     Use of Matomo

13.1  On Eurobaustoff websites we use the open source web analytics service Matomo (formerly Piwik). Matomo is provided by InnoCraft Ltd, 150 Willis St, 6011 Wellington, New Zealand, contact@innocraft.com.

13.2 The legal basis for our use of Matomo is our legitimate interest in designing our web pages on Eurobaustoff websites in line with requirements and optimising them for user behaviour (Art. 6 paragraph 1 (f) GDPR).

13.3   Matomo uses cookies, as described in Point 12, which are stored on your computer and allow us to analyse the use of Eurobaustoff websites. To this end, the usage information generated by the cookie (including your IP address shortened by 6 digits) is transmitted to our server and stored there for usage analysis purposes so that we can carry out website optimisation. As part of this process, your IP address is immediately pseudonymised (see Point 13.4), such that, as a user, you generally remain unknown to us and are not identified. Your IP address is not amalgamated with other data that we may have stored about you. The information generated by the cookie about your use of Eurobaustoff websites will not be passed on to third parties by us. You can prevent the use of this cookie, and the use of other cookies, by adjusting your browser software accordingly. However, in this case, you may not be able to use all functions of Eurobaustoff websites to their full extent.

13.4 On Eurobaustoff websites the "anonymizeIP” plug-in has been activated in Matomo. The use of this code causes your IP address to be anonymously recorded by means of “IP masking”. In this process the last 6 (192.168.XXX.XXX) digits of your IP address are set to zero.

13.5   If you do not agree with the storage and evaluation of this data from your visit to Eurobaustoff websites, you may object to the storage and use of this data at any time by clicking on the mouse. In this case an opt-out cookie will be stored in your browser and this will stop Matomo from collecting any session data. Please note that the opt-out cookie is also deleted when you delete your cookies. After that, for it to take effect, the deleted opt-out cookie must be activated again.

13.6 Objection

13.7    The user data collected with Matomo (formerly Piwik) is stored for a period of 24 months and then deleted.

14        iframes and embedded content

14.1    We use iframes (inline frames) on Eurobaustoff websites in order to reproduce embedded content from the following providers:

14.2    The legal basis for our use of iframes is our legitimate interest in making interactive content that is relevant to us, such as videos or tweets, easily accessible to users of Eurobaustoff websites (Art. 6, paragraph 1 (f) GDPR).

14.3    If you visit a Eurobaustoff website that uses the iframes mentioned in Point 15.1 above, your browser will establish a direct link to the provider's servers in order to transfer embedded content from there to your browser. This content will be integrated into Eurobaustoff websites via the iframe, meaning that it will be displayed as a kind of “mini website” in the Eurobaustoff website you are visiting. You will not be able to see that you are currently surfing two websites simultaneously. The internet address of the provider is not displayed. YouTube videos can be recognised by the typical red play button with a white triangle. Tweets from Twitter can be recognised by the typical blue Twitter bird logo.

14.4    The provider of the embedded content being displayed to you via the iframe will be informed by the direct connection to your browser that you have visited the corresponding Eurobaustoff website. If you are logged in to your user account at that time, the provider can associate your visit to the Eurobaustoff website with your user account even if you do not click on the embedded content offered by the iframe (e g. a YouTube video). If you decide to click on and use the content offered, the provider will be informed of this. Your browser then sends further usage data to the relevant provider, which can be saved and reused by this provider.

14.5    Further information on the purpose and scope of data collection and how it is processed by the provider can be found in the provider's data privacy policy on its website. The following websites are known to us in this respect:

There you will also find further information on your rights and settings with regard to protecting your privacy.

15        IT security

We implement a range of technical and organisational security measures to protect the integrity and confidentiality of your personal data. To this end, your personal data, when transmitted, is encrypted by Transport Layer Security (TLS) (formerly Secure Sockets Layer Technology (SSL)). This means that communication between your computer and the servers of Eurobaustoff websites takes place using a recognised encryption method which is considered secure  in its current version. If your browser supports TLS, the transmission of personal data is protected by this function. In this case, most browsers will show you, via a brief dialogue box or graphic symbol, whether the security protocol is supported. You will find more information in the “help” function of your browser.
