Why do we use cookies?

Cookies facilitate our systems to recognize the user’s device and to make any potential presettings available immediately. As soon as a user accesses the platform, a cookie will be transmitted to the hard disk of the user’s computer. Cookies help us to improve our website and to offer you an even better and customised service. This enables us to recognize your computer or your (mobile) device when you return to our website and therefore, we can

  • store information about your preferred activities on the website and customise our website for you to suit your particular interests and
  • accelerate the speed of handling your enquiries.

We cooperate with third party services, which support us in making the Internet offer and the website more interesting for you. Therefore, cookies of these partner companies (third party providers) are also stored on your hard disk when you visit our website. These cookies are deleted automatically after the predetermined time.

9. INTEGRATION OF THIRD PARTY SERVICES AND CONTENTS

Our website uses contents and services of other suppliers. In order to retrieve and to present these data in the user’s browser, it is absolutely vital to transmit the IP address. The provider (hereinafter “third party”) is therefore aware of the user’s IP address.

Even if we try to use only third party providers who need the IP address only in order to provide content, we do not have any influence on whether the IP address is stored, as the case may be. In this case, this process serves, among others, statistical purposes. As soon as we become aware that the IP address is stored, we will point it out to you.

Use of the Google Tag Manager

Our website uses the Google Tag Manager. Through this service, website tags may be managed via an interface. The Google Tag Manager merely implements tags. This means: No cookies are used and no personal data are collected. The Google Tag Manager triggers other tags, which, in turn collect data, as the case may be. However, the Google Tag Manager does not access these data. If, at domain or cookie level, a deactivation was made, this deactivation remains for all tracking tags, provided those tracking tags have been implemented with the Google Tag Manager. You will find Google’s data protection statement at: https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites?hl=en-GB

Use of YouTube

For integrating and presenting video content, our website uses plugins of the YouTube site, which is operated by Google. The video portal is operated by YouTube, LLC, 901 Cherry Ave., San Bruno, CA 94066, U.S.A.

When accessing a page with an integrated YouTube plugin, a connection to the YouTube servers is established. YouTube thus learns which of our pages you have visited. YouTube may attribute your surfing habits directly to your personal profile, if you are logged in to your YouTube account. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account beforehand. Using YouTube is in the interest of an attractive presentation of our online offers. This is a legitimate interest in terms of article 6 (1) (f) of the GDPR. You will find details on handling user data in the data protection statement of YouTube at: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en-GB&gl=de

Use of Google Analytics

Our website uses features of the web analysis service Google Analytics. The supplier of this web analysis service is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, U.S.A.

Google Analytics uses cookies. Cookies are small text files that your web browser stores on your end device and that facilitate an analysis of the use of the website. Information about your use of our website generated by means of cookies are transmitted to a Google server and stored there. The server is generally located in the U.S.A.

Setting of Google Analytics cookies is based on article 6 (1) (f) of the GDPR. As the owner of this website, we have a legitimate interest in analysing the user behaviour in order to optimise our website, and advertising as well, as the case may be.

We use Google Analytics in connection with the IP anonymization feature. It ensures that Google shortens your IP address within the member states of the European Union or in the other contracting states of the agreement on the European Economic Area before transmitting it to the U.S.A. There may be exceptions, where Google transfers the full IP address to a server in the U.S.A. and shortens it there. Google will use this information on our behalf in order to analyse your use of the website, to create reports about website activities and to perform other services for us associated with the website use and Internet use. The IP address transmitted by Google Analytics will not be combined with other data of Google.

You may prevent your web browser to set cookies. Some functionalities of our website might then be limited. You may also prevent the collection of data about your use of the website including your IP address and the subsequent processing by Google. This is possible if you download and install the browser plugin available at the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en

You will find details on handling user data at Google Analytics in the data protection statement of Google at: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245?hl=en

Our website uses the “Demographics and Interests” function of Google Analytics. It may be used to create reports that contain information about age, gender and interests of the website visitors. These data have been obtained from interest-related advertising of Google and visitor data of third parties. It is not possible to attribute the data to a specific person. You may deactivate this function at any time. You can do this by using the display settings in your Google account or by prohibiting the collection of your data through Google Analytics in general as described in the item “Objection against data collection”.

You will find Google’s data protection statement at: https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites?hl=en-GB

Use of Google Ads and Google Conversion Tracking

Our website uses Google Ads. The provider is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, U.S.A.

Google Ads is an online advertising program. When using the online advertising program, we use conversion tracking. After clicking on an ad placed by Google, a cookie is set for conversion tracking. Cookies are small text files that your web browser stores on your device. Google Ads cookies lose their validity after 30 days and are not used to identify users. When having a look at the cookie Google and we can see that you have clicked on an ad and have been forwarded to our website. The storage of “conversion cookies“ is based on article 6 (1) (f) of the GDPR. As the website owner, we have a legitimate interest in analysing the user behaviour in order to optimise our website, and our advertising.

Every Google Ads customer receives a different cookie. The cookies cannot be traced via websites of Google Ads customers. Conversion cookies are used to create conversion statistics for Google Ads customers using conversion tracking. Google Ads customers are informed how many users have clicked on their ad and have been forwarded to pages featuring a conversion tracking tag. However, Google Ads customers do not receive any personal data to identify users. If you do not wish to participate in the tracking, then you can object to the use of it. The conversion cookie in the browser’s user settings must be deactivated. Then your activities will not be entered into the conversion tracking statistics.

You will find details on Google Ads and Google Conversion Tracking in Google’s data protection statement of Google: https://policies.google.com/privacy?gl=de&hl=en-GB

You may control, restrict or prevent that cookies are set with an up-to-date web browser at https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/95647?co=GENIE.Platform%3DDesktop&hl=en. Deactivating of cookies may lead to a limited functionality of our website.

Further information can be found in the data protection statement of Google for Google Maps: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en-GB

Use of LinkedIn Insight Tag

LinkedIn Insight Tag from LinkedIn Corporation, Sunnyvale, California, US, will be used to create target groups, segment visitor groups of our online offer, determine conversion rates and subsequently optimise them. This happens in particular when you interact with advertisements that we have placed with LinkedIn Corporation. To do this, LinkedIn Corporation provides retargeting for website visitors in order to display targeted ads outside of our website.

The specific storage period of the processed data cannot be influenced by us, but is determined by Salesforce.com, Inc. Further information can be found in the privacy policy for Salesforce Pardot: https://www.salesforce.com/company/privacy

Social Media

You will find us on the following platforms and social networks:

  • Facebook
  • Instagram
  • LinkedIn
  • Google/YouTube
  • Twitter

When using social networks, data are processed outside the European Union (EU) and the European Economic Area (EEA). A data protection level equivalent to that of the EU cannot be safeguarded in all the countries outside the EU. In this context, there may be risks involved for you as the user, if the transmitted data are processed in what is called third countries with an inadequate level of data protection. This makes enforcement of known rights of users difficult. Moreover, it may happen that the provider in the third country processes your data but not in your interest.

The purposes of processing pursued by the social networks usually deviate from the purposes we pursue. Thus, the data you record in social networks are, in most cases, processed for purposes of market research, advertising, and creation of user profiles for personalised advertising (such as Facebook, Google, Instagram etc.).

To realise this, cookies, which record the user behaviour and facilitate user profiling, are used. You will find a list of the purposes of the processing of users’ data in the data protection statements of the respective providers. You can restrict profiling, at least to some extent, by adjusting the settings in your user account. Please read the relevant data protection statements of the respective provider to find out how to proceed.

Basically, this refers to the following data:

  • Registration data such as user name, password, e-mail address
  • Profile information such as given name and surname, telephone number, picture
  • Log file information such as web request, IP address, browser type, landing pages, visited pages
  • Device ID
  • Meta data such as hashtags, geotags, comments

Processing of your personal data for the stated purposes is based on our legitimate management and communications interest to offer an information and communications channel pursuant to article 6 (1) (f) of the GDPR. Where you have given your consent to the data processing to the relevant provider of the social network, the legal basis of the processing is based on article 6 (1) (a) and article 7 of the GDPR.

Due to the fact, that the real data processing is carried out by the provider of the social network, our possibilities to access your data are restricted. Solely the provider of the social network is legitimised to access your data in full. That is why only the provider is able to directly take and implement relevant measures to perform your user rights (request for information, request for erasure, objection, etc.). Therefore, the most effective way to assert relevant rights is to assert them directly against the relevant provider.

Furthermore, on mobile end devices, you may restrict the services’ access to contact and calendar data, photos, location data etc. by adjusting the settings on your device. However, this depends on the operation system used.

We do not collect and process any data from your use of the service. However, in the event we share or respond to your posts or create posts that refer to your profile ourselves, then the data you have entered in the social network, including, but not limited to, your (user) name and the content made public on your account, will be processed to the extent that they will be integrated in our offer and made publicly accessible to our followers.

If you need assistance in this matter, please feel free to contact us.

10. DATA SECURITY

Unfortunately, transferring information via the Internet is never 100 % secure, and that is why we cannot guarantee the security of the data transmitted via the Internet to our website.

However, we protect our website from loss, destruction, access, modification or dissemination of your data by unauthorized persons through technical and organisational measures.

In particular, your personal data are transferred in encrypted form. We use the coding system SSL/TLS (Secure Sockets Layer/Transport Layer Security) for this purpose. Our security measures are continuously improved in line with technological development.

11. RIGHTS OF THE DATA SUBJECTS

If you are a data subject as defined in article 4 (1) of the GDPR, then you have the following rights regarding processing of your personal data according to the GDPR.

Right to confirmation and access

Under the conditions of article 15 of the GDPR, you have the right to obtain confirmation as to whether or not personal data concerning you are being processed and to obtain access from the controller to the personal data stored about you and to obtain a copy of such information free of charge.

Right to correction

Under the conditions of article 16 of the GDPR, you have the right to request the rectification of inaccurate personal data concerning you without undue delay. Taking into account the purposes of the processing, you also have the right to have incomplete personal data completed, including by means of providing a supplementary statement.

Right to deletion

Under the conditions of article 17 of the GDPR, you have the right to demand from us the erasure of personal data concerning you without undue delay, provided that one of the reasons stated in article 17 of the GDPR applies and the processing is not required.

Right to restriction of processing

Under the conditions of article 18 of the GDPR, you have the right to demand restriction of processing where one of the conditions stated in article 18 of the GPDR applies.

Right to data portability

Under the conditions of article 20 of the GDPR, you have the right to receive the personal data concerning you, which you have provided to us, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format, and you have the right to transmit those data to another controller without hindrance from us provided that the other conditions of article 20 of the GDPR are fulfilled.

Right to withdraw consent

You have the right to revoke consent you have given for the processing of your personal data at any time. This should be done via e-mail to GDPR@levc.com

Right to object

Under the conditions of article 21 of the GDPR, you have the right to object at any time the processing of personal data concerning you. If the conditions for an effective objection are met, then we may no longer process your personal data.

Right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority

Regardless of any other administrative or judicial remedy, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the member state of your habitual residence, place of work or place of the alleged infringement, if you consider that the processing of personal data relating to you infringes the GDPR.

12. FORWARDING YOUR PERSONAL DATA

Your personal data will be forwarded as described below:

The website is hosted by a third party service provider in Germany. We make sure that the data are only processed in the European Economic Area (EEA). This is necessary to operate the website as well as for constituting, executing and carrying out the existing licence agreement and possible even without your consent.

Your personal data will also be forwarded if we have the right or are obliged to forward data due to legal provisions and/or official or court order. In particular, this may refer to the provision of information for law enforcement, prevention of threats or enforcement of intellectual property rights.

Where your data are forwarded to service providers within the European Union (EU) to the extent required, such service providers will only have access to your personal data to the extent that this is necessary to perform their tasks. These service providers are obliged to treat your personal data according to the applicable data protection laws, including, but not limited to the GDPR.

Other than described above, we, as a rule, do not transmit your data to third parties without your consent. In particular, we do not forward personal data to an international organisation.

Your data will only be transferred outside the European Economic Area (EEA) for third party services and contents (as described in section 9) if you have actively consented to the transfer via the consent manager of this website (e. g. use of statistic cookies). If we transfer personal data outside the European Economic Area (EEA), we will take appropriate safeguards, in accordance with legal obligations, to ensure that your personal data is adequately protected regardless of the country to which it is transferred.

13. STORAGE PERIOD FOR PERSONAL DATA

As regards the storage period, we delete personal data as soon as their storage is no longer required to fulfil the initial purpose and there are no statutory retention periods. The statutory retention periods are basically the criterion for the final period of storage of personal data. After expiry of this period the relevant data will be routinely deleted and further processing will be prevented.

14. REFERENCES AND LINKS

When you visit Internet sites that are referred to from our website, you may again be asked for details, such as name, address, e-mail address, browser features etc. This data protection statement does not lay down the processing, forwarding or handling of personal data by third parties.

Third party service providers may have diverging and their own rules on handling the collection, processing, and use of personal data. Therefore, we would like to recommend to reading up on how third parties deal with personal data on their websites before entering personal data.

15. MODIFICATION OF THE DATA PROTECTION STATEMENT

We continuously further develop our website to offer you a service that is becoming better and better. We will continuously keep this data protection statement up-to-date and revise it accordingly whenever and where this becomes necessary.

Of course, we will inform you of any changes of this data protection statement in good time. We will do so by sending you an e-mail to the e-mail address you have provided to us. Where it is necessary that you give us further consent for handling your data other than this, we will of course obtain such consent from you before any changes in this regard become effective.

16. DATA PROTECTION OFFICER (DPO)
