Section 8 Use of Google Analytics
1) This Web site uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google, Inc. (“Google”). Google Analytics uses “cookies”, which are text files placed on your computer to help the Web site analyze how you use the site. The information generated by the cookie about your use of the Web site (including your IP address) will generally be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States. If IP anonymization is activated on this Web site, your IP address will, however, within Member States of the European Union or other parties to the Agreement on the European Economic Area, be truncated by Google beforehand. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be sent to a Google server in the United States and truncated. On behalf of the operator of this Web site, Google will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of the Web site, compiling reports on Web site activity for Web site operators and providing other services relating to Web site activity and Internet usage.
2) The IP address transferred by your browser within the scope of Google Analytics will not be associated with any other data held by Google.
3) You can prevent the storage of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings in your browser software. However, we would like to point out that if you do so, it may not be possible for you to make use of the full scope of all this Web site’s functions. You can also prevent the data generated by the cookie and related to your usage of this Web site (including your IP address) from being conveyed to and processed by Google by downloading and installing a browser plug-in available through the following link: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de.
4) This Web site uses Google Analytics with the extension “_anonymizeIp()”. This causes IP addresses to be truncated before they are further processed, meaning that it is not possible for them to be associated to a single person. If the data collected about you can be associated with a single person, this association is immediately excluded, hence immediately deleting the personal data.
5) The legal basis for the use of Google Analytics is Article 6, Paragraph 1, Point f GDPR. We use Google Analytics in order to analyze the way in which our Web site is used and to improve the Web site on a regular basis. The resulting statistics allow us to improve our content and make it more interesting for you as a user. These purposes form our legitimate interest in processing personal data pursuant to Article 6, Paragraph 1, Point f GDPR. In respect of the exceptional cases where personal data is transmitted to the United States, Google has signed up to the EU-US Privacy Shield, https://www.privacyshield.gov/EU-US-Framework.

Section 9 Other functions and content on our Web site
In addition to its use purely as a source of information, our Web site offers a range of different services that you can use if they are of interest to you. In order to do this, you will usually have to provide additional personal data, which we use to provide the relevant service and to which the principles of data processing as laid down in the requirements of the GDPR also apply.
- a) Newsletters
Our Web site allows you to subscribe to a newsletter free of charge. When you register for the newsletter, the data you enter in the form is transmitted to us. This applies to the following items:
– Email address
– Last name
– Company
– Country
You also have the option of sending us your title and first name if you wish.
This data will be used exclusively for the purpose of sending the newsletter.
The legal basis for processing this data after users subscribe to the newsletter is Article 6, Paragraph 1, Point a GDPR, provided that the user has given consent.
The user’s email address is collected to allow the newsletter to be delivered.
The collection of other personal data within the registration process serves to prevent misuse of the services or the email address used and to address you personally in the newsletter.
The data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer required to achieve the purpose for which it was collected. The user’s email address will therefore be stored for as long as the subscription to the newsletter is active.
You can revoke your consent at any time with future effect without incurring any costs other than transmission costs at basic tariff. In particular, you have the option of cancelling your subscription and unsubscribing from the newsletter. You will find a link to unsubscribe in each newsletter.
- b) Email contact
You can contact us via the email addresses for our contact persons provided on our Web site. In this event, both the sender’s email address and the content data of the email are processed. The legal basis is Article 6, Paragraph 1, Point f GDPR, whereby we have a legitimate interest in answering the associated contact inquiries. In this context, no data will be passed on to third parties. The data is used exclusively for processing the conversation. - c) Use of social media plug-ins
In some cases we use external service providers to process your data. These have been carefully selected and commissioned by us, are bound by our instructions and are regularly monitored. - d) Promotions, competitions, contracts and similar services
Furthermore, we may pass on your personal data to third parties if we offer special promotions, competitions, contracts or similar services in collaboration with partners. You can obtain more detailed information on this when you enter your personal data or at the bottom of the description of the relevant offering.
If our service providers or partners are based in a country outside the European Economic Area (EEA), we will inform you of the consequences of this in the description of the offering.
Section 10 Transfer of personal data to third countries
Insofar as it is necessary for the fulfillment of the contract, for internal communication or administration within the Maxem Group, or due to a service provider being domiciled in a third country – outside the European Union and the European Economic Area – your personal data may also be transferred to third countries if the data protection requirements are met.
If data is transferred to third countries, then this is always preceded by an in-depth examination and assessment by our Data Protection Officer. Furthermore, such transfers may take place only if the body in the third country affords an appropriate level of data protection or there are suitable guarantees that ensure an appropriate level of data protection at the said body (Article 45 ff. GDPR) or if such guarantees are exceptionally not required (Article 49, Paragraph 1, Subparagraph 1 GDPR). Should you wish to receive further information about the guarantees in any individual case, please contact our Data Protection Officer.
Section 11 Sources of personal data that we do not collect directly from you
We do not currently acquire personal data from any other sources (e.g. address dealers). Your personal data is either entered directly by you or is passed on to us on the conclusion of a contract.
Section 12 Automated decision-making, including profiling, as described in Article 22 GDPR
Your personal data will not be used for the creation of a profile or for automated decision-making as required by Article 22, Paragraphs 1 and 4 GDPR. However, if in certain defined processing situations, automated decision-making should take place, you will be informed of this separately and we request separate prior consent from you in such cases.

We have appointed a Company Data Protection Officer. You can contact him using the following data:
