a) Google Analytics and DoubleClick
Our AVENTICS website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service of Google. Google can be reached at Google Dublin, Google Ireland Ltd, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. Google Analytics uses cookies. Everything we have said so far about cookies (see above) also applies to these cookies. The information about the way you use our website created by the cookie is usually sent to and stored on a Google server in the USA. If IP anonymisation is activated on this website, Google will first truncate your IP address in Switzerland, in Member States of the European Union or in other state parties to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional circumstances will the full IP address be sent to a Google server in the USA and truncated there. Google will use this information on behalf of the operator to evaluate the way you use our website, to collate reports on website activities and to provide the AVENTICS other services related to website and internet use. The IP address sent by your browser by Google Analytics is not combined with other data held by Google.
Our AVENTICS website uses Google Analytics with the "anonymizeIP" extension to ensure that only truncated IP addresses are processed and to prevent any direct correlation to specific persons. This means that if the data can be used to identify you, this is immediately excluded and the personal data are erased.
In the exceptional cases in which personal data are sent to the USA, Google is subject to the EU-US Privacy Shield (https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/frameworks/ and https://www.privacyshield.gov/EU-US-Framework).
The use of Google Analytics is covered by Article 6 (1) a) GDPR where consent is obtained in advance and by Article 6 (1) f) GDPR, as AVENTICS has a legitimate interest in processing data in this case. We use Google Analytics to analyse the use which is made of our website and to improve it on a regular basis. We will only process your data for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purpose for which they have been collected (in this case for creating and evaluating statistics).
You can change your browser settings to prevent cookies from being stored; however, you should realise that, in these circumstances, you may find that you are unable to make full use of functions on the website.

Google uses a DoubleClick cookie on websites in the Google Network and for specific Google services, in order to support AdWords customers and publishers with placing and managing advertisements on the web. When you access a website and display or click on an advertisement placed via a website in the Google Network, a DoubleClick cookie may be placed in your browser. The DoubleClick cookie identifier assigned to your browser is the same as that used when visiting websites in which the DoubleClick advertising program is used. If your browser already has a DoubleClick cookie, another DoubleClick cookie will not be attached. Further information about the use of DoubleClick cookies in conjunction with the advertising program from DoubleClick can be found in the applicable FAQ section https://www.google.com/intl/de/policies/faq/.

Our website uses AdRoll's "retargeting" and "prospecting". Here, AdRoll provides targeted ads based on your browsing data. This means that after your visit to the AVENTICS website, AdRoll may later serve you targeted ads for AVENTICS as you browse the Internet.
During your visit to the AVENTICS website, AdRoll will set a cookie in your browser. Everything we have said so far about cookies (see above) also applies to these cookies. AdRoll uses the data stored to provide targeted ads of AVENTICS based on your browsing behaviour.

You can opt out of receiving targeted ads served by AdRoll or on AdRoll’s behalf by changing your browser settings (“opt-out”). In addition, you can avoid data being collected by cookies relating to your use of the websites, as well as the processing of these data by AdRoll, by disabling the AdRoll cookies as follows:

These service providers may be affiliated undertakings of AVENTICS or external service providers. In this context we comply with stringent national and European data protection regulations. These service providers are bound by our instructions and are subject to stringent contractual limitations on the processing of personal data. Accordingly, data may only be processed if this is necessary for the performance of services in our name or in order to comply with legal requirements. We stipulate precisely and in advance the rights and obligations of our service providers in relation to personal data.
We may disclose personal data to a third party if we are required to do so by law or in legal proceedings or in order to supply and manage our products and services. We may also be required to provide information to law enforcement agencies or other public authorities. We are also authorised to release data if the disclosure of information is necessary for the purposes of collaboration and thus of providing AVENTICS services to you or if you declare your consent to such disclosure. Disclosure can also rarely be avoided in the course of tax audits.
b) Technical support and implementation of the website
AVENTICS takes strict technical measures to protect your personal data. AVENTICS will not disclose your personal data to third parties unless such disclosure is necessary for the performance of the agreed service or AVENTICS must do so in order to comply with the law or a valid and binding instruction issued by a governmental or regulatory authority.

We take security measures to protect any of your data that we manage from manipulation, loss, destruction, access by unauthorised persons, or unauthorised disclosure. Our security measures are continuously improved in line with technological developments.
For certain features available through this website, we may require the use of encryption technologies provided for your protection and/or your use of a UserID and password after setting up a User Account. We take reasonable precautions to protect the privacy of your UserID, password and User Account information by utilising an SSL connection. Accordingly, your UserID, password and User Account information are encrypted using an SSL connection and are not expected to be read in an intelligible form as they travel to this website. You, however, are ultimately responsible for protecting your UserID, password and User Account information from disclosure to third parties, and you are not permitted to circumvent the use of required encryption technologies. You agree to: (a) immediately notify AVENTICS of any unauthorised use of your UserID, password and/or User Account, and/or any other breach of security, and (b) ensure that you exit from your
User Account at the end of each session. While we may provide certain encryption technologies and use other reasonable precautions to protect your confidential information and provide suitable security, we do not and cannot guarantee or warrant that information transmitted through the Internet is secure, or that such transmissions are free from delay, interruption, interception or error.
This website is not intended or designed to attract individuals under the age of eighteen (18). We do not collect personally identifiable data from any person that we know to be under the age of eighteen (18). If we learn that a user under the age of eighteen (18) is publicly posting or sharing personally identifiable information on or through this website, then we will use reasonable measures to block that user from accessing these areas of this website.
This website may contain links to various other websites, including links to third party service providers. AVENTICS is not and cannot be responsible for the privacy practices or the content of any of those other websites.
