3. Data Collection on Our Website

Cookies

Some parts of our website use so-called cookies. Cookies do not harm your computer and do not contain viruses. They help make our website more user-friendly, effective, and secure. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer and saved by your browser.

Most of the cookies we use are known as “session cookies.” They are automatically deleted after the end of your visit. Other cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them. These cookies enable us to recognize your browser when you return to our website.

You can configure your browser to notify you when cookies are set and to allow cookies only in specific cases, to exclude the acceptance of cookies in certain cases or generally, and to activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. Disabling cookies may limit the functionality of this website.

Cookies that are required for carrying out electronic communications or for providing specific functions requested by the user (e.g. shopping cart functionality) are stored on the basis of Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the technically error-free and optimized provision of its services. Any other cookies (e.g. cookies used for analyzing browsing behavior) are addressed separately in this Privacy Policy.

Server Log Files

The website provider automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. These include:

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

This data is not merged with other data sources.

The legal basis for data processing is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR, which permits the processing of data for the performance of a contract or pre-contractual measures.

Contact Form

If you send us inquiries via the contact form, the information you provide in the inquiry form, including the contact details you enter there, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing your inquiry and for handling any follow-up questions. We do not share this data without your consent.

The processing of the data entered into the contact form is carried out exclusively on the basis of your consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR). You may revoke this consent at any time.

4. Analytics Tools and Advertising

Google Analytics

This website uses features of the web analytics 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 that are stored on your computer and enable analysis of your use of the website. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is generally transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there.

The storage of Google Analytics cookies is based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in analyzing user behavior in order to optimize both the website and advertising activities.

IP Anonymization

We have activated the IP anonymization function on this website. As a result, your IP address is shortened by Google within Member States of the European Union or in other states that are party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area before transmission to the USA. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there.

On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of this website, compile reports on website activity, and provide other services related to website and Internet usage to the website operator. The IP address transmitted by your browser within the scope of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.

Browser Plugin

You can prevent the storage of cookies by adjusting your browser software settings accordingly. However, please note that if you do so, you may not be able to fully use all functions of this website.

Data Processing Agreement

We have entered into a data processing agreement with Google and fully comply with the strict requirements of the German data protection authorities when using Google Analytics.

Demographic Features in Google Analytics

This website uses the Google Analytics feature “Demographics and Interests Reports.” This allows reports to be generated containing information about the age, gender and interests of website visitors. This data originates from Google’s interest-based advertising and third-party visitor data.

This data cannot be assigned to any specific individual. You may deactivate this feature at any time through the ad settings in your Google account or generally prohibit the collection of your data by Google Analytics as described above under “Objection to Data Collection.”

schubwerk Analytics

In order to design our website according to user needs, we use the analytics tool “schubwerk Analytics.”

This tool processes communication data when a website is accessed (e.g. information about the device used and IP address) and stores it on servers located in Germany. The IP address is irreversibly anonymized at the moment the page is accessed.

schubwerk Analytics does not use cookies. No information is read from your device. The service only processes data that is technically transmitted automatically when accessing a website.

It is not possible to identify you from the data collected.

5. Newsletter

The newsletters are sent using the mailing service provider ActiveCampaign, LLC, 1 N Dearborn, 5th Floor, Chicago, IL 60601, United States.

You can view the privacy policy of the mailing service provider here: ActiveCampaign Privacy Policy

The mailing service provider is used on the basis of our legitimate interests pursuant to Article 6(1)(f) GDPR and a Data Processing Agreement pursuant to Article 28(3) sentence 1 GDPR.

The mailing service provider may use recipients’ data in pseudonymized form, i.e. without assigning it to a specific user, for the optimization or improvement of its own services, for example for the technical optimization of newsletter delivery and presentation or for statistical purposes. However, the mailing service provider does not use the data of our newsletter subscribers to contact them directly or to pass the data on to third parties.

The data you provide for the purpose of subscribing to the newsletter is stored on ActiveCampaign’s servers.

Data Analysis by ActiveCampaign

If we send newsletters using ActiveCampaign, we can determine whether a newsletter message has been opened and which links, if any, have been clicked.

ActiveCampaign also enables us to segment newsletter recipients into different categories (so-called “tagging”). Newsletter recipients can, for example, be categorized according to gender, personal preferences (e.g. vegetarian or non-vegetarian), or customer relationship (e.g. customer or prospective customer). This allows newsletters to be better tailored to the respective target groups.

If you do not wish your data to be analyzed by ActiveCampaign, you must unsubscribe from the newsletter entirely. Unfortunately, separate withdrawal from tracking and performance measurement is not possible. A corresponding unsubscribe link is provided in every newsletter.

Newsletter Data

If you would like to subscribe to the newsletter offered on powderbulkprocess.com, we require an e-mail address from you as well as information that allows us to verify that you are the owner of the e-mail address provided and that you agree to receive the newsletter.

No further data is collected, or only on a voluntary basis. This data is used exclusively for sending the requested information and is not passed on to third parties.

The processing of data entered into the newsletter subscription form is carried out exclusively on the basis of your consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR).

You may revoke your consent to the storage of your data, your e-mail address, and its use for sending the newsletter at any time, for example by using the “unsubscribe” link included in every newsletter. The lawfulness of data processing already carried out remains unaffected by the withdrawal.

The data stored with us for the purpose of receiving the newsletter will be retained until you unsubscribe from the newsletter and will be deleted after cancellation of the newsletter subscription. Data stored by us for other purposes (e.g. e-mail addresses for member areas or customer accounts) remain unaffected by this provision.
