Right to information and to data portability
Article 15 of the GDPR gives you the right to information, free of charge, about your personal data stored and processed in our system. If you request the direct transmission of your data to another controller, this direct transmission will only be carried out insofar as it is technically feasible. You may also exercise your right to have any inaccurate or incomplete data corrected respectively completed (GDPR Art. 16).

Right to erasure
As stipulated in GDPR Art. 17, we shall, on your request, erase your personal data stored in our systems except to the extent that processing of the data is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation, or for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims (GDPR Art. 17, par. 3).

GDPR Art. 7 par. 3 provides you with the right to withdraw your consent relating to newsletters etc. at any time, by simple, informal e-mail communication to us. The data processing operations based on your initial consent will then be discontinued. This withdrawal of consent shall not affect the lawfulness of data processing operations based on your consent before its withdrawal. 

Data collection, usage and processing
We shall only collect, process and use your personal data only insofar as you have given your express consent to our processing of said data for one or several specific purposes, or if processing is necessary for the performance of a contract, i.e. the establishment, content definition or amendment of the contractual relationship between you and Cellofoam (master data), or if we need the data to take certain steps, at your request, prior to entering into a contract. Your personal data will remain in our system for a certain period after your order has been fulfilled or your inquiry processed.

For some functions, these Internet pages use so-called cookies. Cookies will not damage your computer nor do they contain viruses. Cookies serve to make our pages more user-friendly, safer and more efficient. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer and saved by your browser.

We have entered into an agreement with Google for order data processing and are fully implementing the strict rules defined by the German data protection authorities when using Google Analytics.

IP anonymization
On this website, we use the "Activation of IP anonymization" function. IP anonymization means that, before transmission, Google will truncate your IP address within the area of the European Union member states or other parties to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transferred to a Google server in the USA and then truncated. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, compile reports on website activity, and provide further services related to website and Internet usage to the website operator. The IP address transmitted by your browser in the scope of Google Analytics will not be merged and matched with any other data held by Google.

Google Web Fonts
For a uniform typographical appearance, this page uses so-called Web Fonts provided by Google. When you open a page, your browser will load the required web fonts into your browser's cache in order to display texts and fonts correctly.

For this purpose, your browser must connect to the servers operated by Google. This will tell Google that our website has been accessed from your IP address. The use of Google Web Fonts takes place in the interest of a uniform and visually appealing presentation of our online content. This counts as a legitimate interest within the meaning of GDPR Art. 6, par. 1 (f).

If your browser does not support Web Fonts, your computer will use a default font. For more information about Google Web Fonts, visit  https://developers.google.com/fonts/faq and Google's Privacy Policy statement at https://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy/

Google AdWords and Google Conversion Tracking
This website uses Google AdWords. AdWords is an online advertising service of Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Irland, the parent company is the Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (hereafter “Google”).
In the scope of the Google AdWords service, we use the so-called Conversion Tracking function. When you click on an advertisement placed by Google, a Conversion Tracking cookie is set. Cookies are small text files that the Internet browser places on the user’s computer. These cookies lose their validity after 30 days and do not serve for the personal identification of the user. When the user visits certain pages of this website while the cookie is still valid, Google and Cellofoam will know that the user has clicked on the advertisement and was routed to the related page.
Each Google AdWords customer is assigned a different cookie. The cookies cannot be tracked via the websites of AdWords customers. The information collected by means of Conversion cookies serves to compile conversion statistics for AdWords customers who have booked the Conversion Tracking service. The customers are told how many users have clicked on the advertisement and have then been routed to a page marked with a Conversion Tracking tag. However, they will not receive any information allowing the personal identification of the user. If you do not wish to be included in the tracking process, you have the right to object to the use of tracking data by simply deactivating the Google Conversion Tracking cookie via the user configuration tab of your browser. Then your usage data will not be included in the Conversion Tracking statistics.
The storage of Google Conversion Tracking cookies is based on GDPR Art. 6, par. 1 (f). The operators of the website have a legitimate interest in analyzing the users’ behavior for the purpose of optimizing their web offers as well as their promotional processes.
For more information on Google AdWords and Google Conversion Tracking, please see Google’s data privacy statement: https://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy/

You can adapt the settings of your browser in order to restrict the use of cookies, e.g. defining that you will be informed about the setting of cookies, allowing cookies to be set only in certain cases, excluding the acceptance of cookies in specific cases or in general, and activating the automatic deletion of cookies when the browser is closed. The functionality of this website may be restricted when cookies are deactivated.
