CI Composite Impulse GmbH & Co

The controller decides alone or jointly with others on the purposes and means of processing personal data (e.g. names, contact details, etc.).

Revocation of your consent to data processing
Some practices of data processing are only possible with your express consent. Previously given consent can be revoked at any time. An informal notification by e-mail is sufficient for the revocation. The legality of the data processing carried out until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

Right to appeal to the competent supervisory authority
In the event of a breach of data protection law, you as the party concerned have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority. The competent supervisory authority with regard to data protection issues is the data protection officer of the federal state in which the registered office of our company is located.

Right to data transfer
You have the right to have data which we process on the basis of your consent or in fulfilment of a contract automatically transferred to you or to third parties. The information is provided in a machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another responsible person, this will only be done as far as it is technically feasible.

Right of access, rectification, blocking, deletion
You have the right to free information about stored personal data, the origin of the data, its recipients and the purpose of the data processing and, if applicable, the right to correction, blocking or deletion of this data at any time within the framework of the applicable statutory provisions. You can contact us at any time in this respect and also for further questions on the subject of personal data via the contact options listed in the Legal Notice.

SSL or TLS encryption
For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content that you send to us as the site operator, our website uses SSL or TLS encryption. This means that data that you transmit via this website cannot be read by third parties. You can recognise an encrypted connection by the “https://” address line of your browser and by the lock icon in the browser line.

Server log files
The website provider automatically collects and stores information that your browser automatically transmits to us in server log files. These are:

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

These data are not merged with other data sources. The data processing is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR, which permits the processing of data for the fulfilment of a contract or pre-contractual measures.

CookiesOur website uses cookies. These are small text files that your web browser stores on your device. Cookies help us to make our site more user-friendly, effective and secure.

Some cookies are “session cookies”. Such cookies are deleted automatically at the end of your browser session. Other cookies remain on your terminal until you delete them yourself. Such cookies help us to recognise you when you return to our website.

With a modern web browser you can monitor, restrict or prevent the use of cookies. Many web browsers can be configured so that cookies are deleted automatically when the program is closed. The deactivation of cookies can result in the limited functionality of our website.

The setting of cookies necessary for the exercise of electronic communication processes or the provision of certain functions requested by you (e.g. shopping cart), is based on Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR. As the operator of this website, we have a legitimate interest in the storage of cookies for the technically error-free and smooth provision of our services. If other cookies are set (e.g. for analysis functions), these will be dealt with separately in this data protection declaration.

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

Google Analytics uses “cookies”. These are small text files that your web browser stores on your device that allow analysis of website usage. Information generated by cookies about your use of our website is transmitted to a Google server and stored there. The server location is usually the USA.

Google Analytics cookies are set on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR. As the operator of this website, we have a legitimate interest in analysing user behaviour to optimise our website and, if necessary, advertising.

IP anonymisation
We use Google Analytics in conjunction with the IP anonymisation feature. It ensures that Google shortens your IP address within member states of the European Union or other signatory states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area prior to transmission to the United States. There may be exceptions where Google transfers the full IP address to a server in the United States and shortens it there. Google use this information on our behalf to evaluate your use of the website, to create reports on website activity and to provide us with other services relating to website activity and internet usage. The IP address transmitted by Google Analytics is not merged with other Google data.

Browser Plugin
The setting of cookies by your web browser can be prevented. However, some functions of our website may be restricted as a result. You can also prevent the collection of data relating to your use of the website, including your IP address, and subsequent processing by Google. This is possible by downloading and installing the browser plugin accessible via the following link:https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en.

Objection to data collection
You can prevent Google Analytics from collecting your data by clicking on the following link. An opt-out cookie is set to prevent your information from being collected on future visits to our website: Disable Google Analytics.

Details on the handling of user data by Google Analytics can be found in Google’s privacy policy: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245?hl=en.

Order processing
We have entered into an order processing agreement with Google to ensure full compliance with statutory data protection requirements.

Demographic characteristics at Google Analytics
Our website uses the function “demographic characteristics” from Google Analytics. It can be used to create reports that contain information about the age, gender and interests of site visitors. This data comes from interest-related advertising by Google and from visitor data from third parties. It is not possible to assign the data to a specific person. You can deactivate this function at any time. This is possible via the ad settings in your Google Account or by generally prohibiting the collection of your data by Google Analytics, as explained under “Objection to data collection”.
