b)  When using our contact form

Should you have any types of queries, you have the option of getting in touch with us via a contact form which is provided on the website. In such a case, it is necessary to provide a valid email address, so we know who the enquiry is from and are able to respond. You can also provide additional information voluntarily.
The data processing for the purpose of the contact initiation with us takes place in accordance with Article 6 Paragraph 1 Sentence 1 Letter a) GDPR on the basis of your consent which has been issued voluntarily. The personal data which is gathered by us in connection with the use of the contact form is automatically deleted once your enquiry has been completed.

Our website uses so-called cookies. These are small text files which are stored on your end device with the assistance of the browser. These do not cause any damage.
We uses cookies in order to make our services more user friendly. Some cookies remain saved on your end device until you delete them. These enable us to recognise
your browser again next time you visit.
The data which is processed through the cookies is necessary for the named purposes in order to safeguard our legitimate interests in addition to those of third parties in
accordance with Article 6 Paragraph 1 Sentence 1 Letter f) GDPR. Should you not wish for this to take place, you can set your browser in such a way that
you are informed of the setting of cookies and only permit this in individual cases.  If cookies are de-activated, the functionality of our website may be restricted.

For the purpose of tailoring our website to requirements and its continual optimisation, we use functions of the web analysis service Google Analytics. The provider is Google Inc,1600 Amphitheatre Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. Google Analytics uses so-called "cookies". These are text files which are saved on your computer and enable an analysis of the use of the website by you. The information concerning your use of the website which is generated by the cookies is generally transferred to a server of Google in the USA and saved there.

We only use Google Analytics with activated IP anonymisation. This means that on this website, your IP address is shortened first by Google within Member States of the European Union or in other Member States of the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transferred to a server of Google in the USA and shortened there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information in order to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports concerning the website activities and to provide additional services for the website operator which are connected to the use of the website and the use of the Internet. The IP address transferred by your browser within the framework of Google Analytics will not be combined with other data by Google.

You can prevent the saving of cookies by setting your browser software accordingly. However, we wish to point out that in such a case, you may not be able to fully use all functions of this website. In addition, you can prevent the recording by Google of the data generated by the cookie which relates to your use of the website (including IP address) and the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plugin which can be obtained via this link: tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

Further information concerning the use of data for advertising purposes by Google, settings and objection options can be found on the websites of Google: https://www.google.com/intl/de/policies/privacy/partners/ ("data use by Google when using websites or apps of our partners"), http://www.google.com/policies/technologies/ads ("use of data for advertising purposes"), http://www.google.de/settings/ads ("administration of information which Google uses in order to blend in advertising") and http://www.google.com/ads/preferences/ ("control the information Google uses to show you ads").

a) Facebook
Social media plugins of Facebook are used on our website, in order to make its use more personal. For this purpose, we use the "LIKE" or "SHARE" button. This is a
service of Facebook. Should you access a page of our web presence which contains such a plugin, your browser establishes a direct connection to the servers of Facebook. The content of the
plugin is transferred directly to your browser by Facebook and incorporated into the website by Facebook.
By means of the incorporation of the plugins, Facebook is informed that your browser has accessed the corresponding page of our web presence, even if you do not have a
Facebook account or are not currently logged in to Facebook. This information (including your IP address) is transferred by your browser directly to a server of
Facebook in the USA and saved there.

Should you be logged in to Facebook, Facebook can directly assign the visit to our website to your Facebook account. Should you interact with the plugins, for example
by clicking on the "LIKE" or "SHARE" button, the corresponding information is also transferred directly to a server of Facebook and saved there. The information is also
published on Facebook and displayed to your Facebook friends. Facebook can use this information for the purposes of advertising, market research
and tailoring the Facebook page to requirements. For this purpose, use, interest and relationship profiles will be created by Facebook, for example in order to evaluate your
use of our website in relation to the adverts blended into your Facebook profile, to inform other Facebook users of the activities on our website and to provide additional
services connected to the use of Facebook.

Should you not wish for Facebook to assign the data gathered via our web presence to your Facebook account, you need to log out of Facebook before visiting our website.
The purpose and scope of the data gathering and the further processing and use of the data by Facebook, as well as your rights and settings options in this respect for the
purpose of protection of your private sphere can be found in the data protection notice (https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/) of Facebook.

b) Twitter
Plugins of the message network of Twitter Inc (Twitter) are integrated into our Internet sites. You can recognise the Twitter plugins (tweet button) from the Twitter logo on our
website. You can find an overview of tweet buttons here (https://about.twitter.com/resources/buttons). Should you access a page of our web presence which contains such a plugin, a direct
connection is established between your browser and the Twitter server. By means of this, Twitter is informed that you have visited our page with your IP address. Should
you click the Twitter "tweet button"" whilst you are logged into your Twitter account, the contents of our pages can be linked to your Twitter profile. By means of this, Twitter
can assign your visit to our pages to your user account. We wish to point out that we as the provider of the pages have no knowledge of the contents of the data which is
transferred, as well as the use of this by Twitter.

Should you not wish for Twitter to be able to assign the visit to our pages, please log out of your Twitter user account.
You can find further information about this in the data protection declaration of Twitter (https://twitter.com/privacy).

Our websitecan contain links to third party websites ("external links"). The respective operators of these external links are responsible for these. binderholz has no influence
over the current and future design, as well as over the content of the linked pages. The setting of external links does not mean that the content belongs to binderholz. Without
concrete indicators of legal breaches, constant monitoring of the external links is not possible or reasonable. However in case of becoming aware of legal breaches, such
external links will be removed immediately.

Should you send us queries by email, your information, including the contact details provided by you will be saved by us for the purpose of processing the query and for
any follow up questions. binderholz wishes to expressly point out that data transfer over the Internet (for example in case of communication by email) can represent a
security risk and cannot be fully protected against third party access.

The use of contact data of our legal notice or of our website for commercial advertising is expressly prohibited, unless we issue our written agreement to such. binderholz and
all persons named on this website hereby object to any commercial use and disclosure of this data.

During the website visit, we use the secure socket layer procedure together with the respective highest level of encryption which is supported by your browser. This is
generally 256 bit encryption. Should your browser not support 256 bit encryption, we use 128 bit v3 technology instead. Whether an individual page of our Internet presence
is transferred in encrypted form can be found in the closed image of the key or key symbol in the lower status section of your browser.
We otherwise take suitable technical and organisational measures in order to protect your data against random or intentional manipulation, partial or complete loss or
destruction and against unauthorised third party access. Our security measures are continually improved in accordance with technical developments.

Only the German version of the website is authoritative.
binderholz takes the protection of personal data extremely seriously.
