Please note that we evaluate your user behaviour when sending the newsletter. For this evaluation, the e-mails sent include what are known as web beacons or tracking pixels that represent one-pixel image files stored on our website. For the evaluations, we link the user profile and the web beacons with your e-mail address and an individual ID. Links included in the newsletter also contain these IDs. With the data obtained in this way, we create a user profile to tailor the newsletter to your individual interests. In doing so, we record when you read our newsletters, which links you click on, and draw conclusions about your personal interests. We link this data with actions you have taken on our website.
You can opt-out of this tracking at any time by clicking on the separate unsubscribe link provided in each newsletter e-mail or by contacting us via another contact method.

5. Analyse-Tools [„Tracking“]
The tracking measures listed below and used by us are based on Art. 6 Para. 1 clause 1 lit. f GDPR. With the tracking measures used, we want to ensure a needs-based design and the continuous optimisation of our website. Furthermore, we use the tracking measures to statistically record the use of our website and evaluate it for the purpose of optimising our services. Our interests are to be regarded as justified based on the aforementioned GDPR provision. The respective data processing purposes and data categories can be found in the corresponding tracking tools.
a) Google Analytics
For the purpose of ensuring a needs-based design and continuous optimisation of our website, we use Google Analytics, a web analysis service of Google Inc. (https://about.google/intl/en/) (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; hereinafter referred to as “Google”). In this context, pseudonymised usage profiles are created and cookies (see section 4) are used. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website such as
is sent to a server of Google in the USA and stored there.
The information is used to evaluate the use of the website, to compile reports on website activity, and to provide other services related to website activity and internet usage for the purposes of market research and tailoring of this website. This information may also be transferred to third parties if required by law or if third parties process this data. Under no circumstances will your IP address be merged with any other data provided by Google. The IP addresses are anonymised so that no assignment is possible (IP masking). You can prevent the installation of cookies by setting the browser software accordingly; however, we point out that in this case not all features of this website may be fully available. You can also prevent the collection of data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) and the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing a browser add-on (https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en).
As an alternative to the browser add-on, especially for browsers on mobile devices, you can prevent the collection by Google Analytics by clicking on this link: Disable Google Analytics. An opt-out cookie will be set that will prevent the future collection of your data when you visit this website. The opt-out cookie is only valid in this browser and only for our website and is stored on your device. If you delete the cookies in this browser, you will need to set the opt-out cookie again. For more information relating to data privacy in connection with Google Analytics, please refer to the Google Analytics help system (https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245?hl=en).
b) Google Adwords Conversion Tracking
To statistically record the use of our website and to evaluate it for the purpose of optimising our website, we also use Google Conversion Tracking. In doing so, Google AdWords will set a cookie (see section 4) on your computer if you have reached our website via a Google ad. These cookies lose their validity after 30 days and are not used for personal identification. If you visit certain pages of the AdWords customer's website and the cookie has not expired, Google and the customer may recognise that you have clicked on the ad and have been redirected to this website.
Every AdWords customer receives a different cookie. Cookies cannot be tracked via the websites of AdWords customers. The information gathered using the conversion cookie is used to generate conversion statistics for AdWords customers who have opted for conversion tracking. AdWords customers are given the total number of users who clicked on their ad and who were redirected to a page with a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not receive information that personally identifies users. If you do not want to participate in the tracking process, you can also refuse the required setting of a cookie - for example, via a browser setting that generally disables the automatic setting of cookies. You can also disable cookies for conversion tracking by setting your browser to block cookies from the domain "www.googleadservices.com". Google's privacy policy for conversion tracking can be found here: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en.
c) Content and services from Google Maps, Google Fonts and other third parties
The third-party content or services, in our case, are Google maps or fonts that we include on our sites (third-party content). This always presupposes that the third-party providers are aware of your IP address, as without them they would not be able to send their content to your browser. The IP address is therefore required for to display this content. We endeavour to use only content whose respective providers use the IP address solely for the delivery of the content. Third parties may use so-called pixel tags (invisible graphics, also known as “web beacons”) for statistical or marketing purposes. The "pixel tags" can be used to evaluate information such as visitor traffic to pages on this website. The pseudonymous information may be stored in cookies on the user's device and may include, but is not limited to, technical information about the browser and operating system, referring web pages, visit time, and other information regarding the use of our online service.
Third party providers as well as links to their privacy statements, which provide further information on the processing of data, are listed below. Options for data removal (known as opt-out) can be found there.

6. Social Media Plug-ins
Reliant to Art. 6 Para. 1 clause 1 lit. f GDPR, our website uses Social Plug-ins of the social networks Facebook, Twitter, XING and LinkedIn to publicise the TRANSPOREON Group. The underlying commercial purpose is to be regarded as a legitimate interest within the content of the GDPR. Responsibility for the operations compliant with data protection is to be guaranteed by the respective providers. The integration of these plug-ins by us is carried out via what is known as the two-click method to protect visitors to our website in the best possible way.
a) Facebook
Our website uses social media plugins from Facebook (Facebook, Inc., 1601 Willow Road, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA; hereinafter referred to as “Facebook”) to personalise its use. For this we use the “LIKE” or “SHARE” button. These are provided by Facebook. If you visit a page of our website that contains this type of plugin, your browser establishes a direct connection to the Facebook servers. The content of the plugin is transmitted by Facebook directly to your browser and incorporated by that provider into the website. By integrating the plugins, Facebook receives the information that your browser has accessed the corresponding page of our website, even if you do not have a Facebook account or are currently not logged into Facebook. This information (including your IP address) is transmitted from your browser directly to a Facebook server in the US and stored there. If you are logged into Facebook, Facebook can assign the visit to our website directly to your Facebook account. If you interact with the plugins, for example by pressing the "LIKE" or "SHARE" button, the corresponding information is also transmitted directly to a Facebook server and stored there. The information will also be posted on Facebook and displayed to your Facebook friends. Facebook may use this information for the purpose of advertising, market research and tailor-made Facebook pages. For this purpose, Facebook uses information such as usage, interest and relationship profiles to evaluate your use of our website in relation to the advertisements displayed on Facebook, to inform other Facebook users about your activities on our website, and to provide other services related to the use of Facebook. If you do not want Facebook to assign the data collected via our website to your Facebook account, you must log out of Facebook before visiting our website. For the purpose and scope of data collection and the further processing and use of the data by Facebook, as well as related rights and settings for the protection of your privacy, please refer to the privacy policy (https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/) of Facebook.

Our website includes plugins from the short-message network Twitter Inc. (1355 Market Street, Suite 900, San Francisco, CA 94103, USA; hereinafter referred to as "Twitter"). The Twitter plugins (tweet button) can be recognised by the Twitter logo on our website. An overview of tweet buttons can be found here: publish.twitter.com. When you visit a page of our website that contains this type of plugin, a direct connection is established between your browser and the Twitter server. Twitter receives the information that you have visited our website with your IP address. If you click on the Twitter "tweet button" while logged in to your Twitter account, you can link the contents of our pages to your Twitter profile. This allows Twitter to associate your visit to our website with your user account. Please note that we as the provider of the internet pages are not aware of the content of the transmitted data and its use by Twitter. If you do not want Twitter to be able to associate your visit to our website, please log out of your Twitter account before visiting our website. More information can be found in the privacy policy of Twitter (https://twitter.com/en/privacy).

XING does not store personal information about you by accessing this website. In particular, XING does not store any IP addresses. There is also no evaluation of your usage behaviour via the use of cookies in connection with the "XING share button".

Please note that when you visit our website, the plugin establishes a connection between your browser and the LinkedIn server. LinkedIn is informed that our website has been visited with your IP address. If you click on the "Recommend" button of LinkedIn while logged into your account at LinkedIn, you have the option of linking content from our website to your LinkedIn profile page. Doing so allows LinkedIn to associate your visit to our website with you or your user account. We are not made aware of the content of the transmitted data and its use by LinkedIn. More details on the data collected and your legal options, as well as setting options, please visit LinkedIn. These can be found in the privacy policy (https://www.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy) of LinkedIn.

We have incorporated videos from YouTube (YouTube, LLC, 901 Cherry Ave. San Bruno, CA 94066, USA; hereafter “YouTube”) in our website, which are stored at https://www.youtube.com/ and can be played directly from our website. They are all incorporated in the “expanded data protection mode”, and so no data about you as a user is transmitted to YouTube if you do not play the videos. Only when you play the videos is the data named in section 2a) of this privacy policy transmitted. We have no influence on this data transmission.
Through the website visit, YouTube gains the information that you called up the corresponding subpage on our website. Moreover, the data named in section 2a) of this privacy policy is transmitted.

YouTube stores your data as a user profile and uses it for purposes of advertising, market research, and/or appropriate design of its website. Such analysis (even for users who are not logged in) is performed, in particular, to provide appropriate advertising and inform other users of the social network about your activities on our website. You have a right to object to the formation of these user profiles, but you have to direct your objection to YouTube.
You can gain further information on the purpose and extent of data collection and processing by YouTube in the privacy policy. There you will also receive additional information on your rights and setting options to protect your privacy: https://policies.google.com/privacy.
