Privacy Policy

Protecting your personal data is important to us. Below we inform you about the nature, scope, and purpose of the processing of personal data on this website in accordance with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

1. Controller

ALUTHERMIC GmbH Stroofstrasse 50 65933 Frankfurt am Main, Germany Phone: +49 (0)69 38 98 01 70 Email: info@alu-therm.de

2. Hosting and server log files

This website is hosted by Vercel Inc., 440 N Barranca Avenue #4133, Covina, CA 91723, USA. Vercel delivers the pages via a globally distributed server network; enquiries sent via the contact form (section 3) are processed by Vercel in a data centre in Frankfurt am Main, Germany.

Each time the website is accessed, Vercel automatically processes data transmitted by your browser (server log files): IP address, date and time of access, page accessed, referrer URL, browser type and operating system. This data is used exclusively to provide the website without technical errors and to keep it secure, not to identify individual persons. To prevent abuse, the number of contact form submissions per IP address is also limited. The legal basis is our legitimate interest in providing the website securely and reliably (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). The logs in our Vercel account are deleted after 30 days at the latest.

We have concluded a data processing agreement with Vercel in accordance with Art. 28 GDPR. Vercel Inc. is certified under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework; transfers to the USA are based on the European Commission's adequacy decision of 10 July 2023 (Art. 45 GDPR) and on the EU Commission's standard contractual clauses agreed with Vercel (Art. 46(2)(c) GDPR).

3. Contact form and appointment booking

If you send us an inquiry via the contact form, the data you provide (name, email address, optional phone number, your message) and the time of the request are processed for the purpose of handling your inquiry, preventing abuse, and in case of follow-up questions, and are transmitted to us by email. For this purpose, a server function at Vercel in Frankfurt am Main receives the inquiry and sends it to our mailbox via the email service of IONOS SE, Elgendorfer Str. 57, 56410 Montabaur, Germany; we have concluded a data processing agreement with IONOS in accordance with Art. 28 GDPR. We do not share this data with third parties without your consent. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR, insofar as your inquiry is related to the fulfillment of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective handling of inquiries and protection against form abuse (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). Data submitted via the form is delivered exclusively by email and is not stored in a database on the server.

For meetings at the Future Facade 2027 trade fair, you can book an appointment via a link on our website. The booking is handled on our behalf by meetergo GmbH, Hauptstraße 44, 40789 Monheim am Rhein, Germany. The booking page is only loaded when you click the link; meetergo is not embedded on our website itself. The data you enter (name, email address, selected time and, if you add any, the email addresses of further guests) is processed to arrange the appointment, send you a confirmation and enter it in our calendar. meetergo stores the data on servers in Germany. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR and, for the details of further guests, our legitimate interest in organizing the meeting (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). We have concluded a data processing agreement with meetergo in accordance with Art. 28 GDPR. We delete the appointment data no later than six months after the trade fair, unless a further business relationship arises from it.

4. Storage of your cookie choice

On your first visit, a banner asks whether we may use Google Analytics (section 5). We store your choice in your browser's local storage (localStorage, entry “cookie_consent” with the value “accepted” or “declined”) so that the banner does not reappear on every page. The entry is not transmitted to us and remains until you delete it in your browser. This storage is strictly necessary to respect your choice (Section 25(2) No. 2 of the German Telecommunications Digital Services Data Protection Act, TDDDG).

You can withdraw or renew your consent at any time with effect for the future via “Cookie settings” at the bottom of every page. If you withdraw it, we remove the Google Analytics cookies from your browser and reload the page.

5. Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics

If you have given your consent, this website uses Google Analytics 4, a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (“Google”). Google Analytics is integrated via Google Tag Manager from the same provider. Without your consent, neither Tag Manager nor Google Analytics is loaded and no data is transmitted to Google.

Google Analytics records which pages you visit, when and for how long, which page referred you to us, technical information about your browser, operating system and device, and your approximate location (country, region). For this purpose, Google Analytics sets cookies (_ga, _ga_<ID>) that recognise your browser pseudonymously; they are deleted after two years at the latest. Your IP address is only processed briefly on servers in the EU to determine your approximate location and is then discarded; Google Analytics does not store it. We use the reports to improve the website. Google Signals and ad personalisation are disabled; user- and event-level data is deleted after two months.

The legal basis is your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR, Section 25(1) TDDDG), which you can withdraw at any time via “Cookie settings” (section 4).

Google also processes the data in the USA (Google LLC). Google LLC is certified under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework; the transfer is based on the European Commission's adequacy decision of 10 July 2023 (Art. 45 GDPR). We have concluded a data processing agreement with Google. Further information: Google Privacy Policy.

6. Storage period

We process and store personal data only for as long as is necessary to achieve the purpose of storage or as required by statutory retention periods. Inquiries submitted via the contact form are deleted once processing is complete, unless statutory retention obligations (e.g. commercial or tax law) require otherwise.

7. Your rights

You have the right at any time to access, rectify, erase, or restrict the processing of your stored personal data, a right to data portability, and a right to object to processing. You may withdraw any consent given (e.g. for the cookie banner) at any time with future effect via “Cookie settings” at the bottom of every page.

Right to object under Art. 21 GDPR

Where we process your data on the basis of legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR), you have the right to object to this processing at any time on grounds relating to your particular situation. We will then no longer process the data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims. You can send your objection informally to the contact details above.

8. Competent supervisory authority

You have the right to lodge a complaint with the data protection supervisory authority responsible for us:
