GW Wirtschafts GmbH (hereinafter ‘GW’, ‘we’ or ‘us’) respects the privacy of the users (hereinafter ‘users’, ‘you’ or ‘they’) of its website and has made their protection a top priority in all activities on the Internet. This means: GW undertakes to treat the information provided by users with the utmost care and the greatest sense of responsibility at all times. This also applies in particular to co-operation with partners and third parties. However, GW accepts no liability for third parties unless this is stated separately.
To protect the personal data managed by GW against accidental or intentional manipulation, loss, destruction or access by unauthorized persons, GW uses state-of-the-art technical and organizational security measures that are continuously improved.
Collection, Processing and Use of Personal Data and Purpose Limitation
GW collects, stores and processes personal data exclusively in accordance with the applicable statutory provisions and insofar as this is necessary and required to fulfil the contractual relationship between GW and the user or to provide the requested offers.
Personal data is all data that can be assigned to a specific or identifiable person, such as the name of a person, the IP address, but also other information if a person can be identified from this.
If you contact us by e-mail or telephone, for example, the data provided there will be stored. The data will not be used for any purposes other than processing and responding to the enquiry or in the case that follow-up questions arise.
GW would like to point out that persons under the age of 18 should not transmit any personal data to GW without the consent of their legal guardians. Such data from minors will not knowingly be requested, collected, passed on or used in any other way.
Right to Information and Objection
Upon request, GW will inform you in writing at any time whether and, if so, what personal data about you is stored by GW. You can request the deletion, blocking or correction of your personal data at any time.
You can object to the storage and use of the collected and stored data at any time without giving reasons by sending an e-mail to office(at)gas-h2(dot)de or in writing to: GW Wirtschafts GmbH, Neustädtische Kirchstraße 8, 10117 Berlin. However, this may mean that GW is no longer able to fulfil its contractual duties (enabling a user to exercise their rights, providing an offer, etc.).
You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future by contacting GW Wirtschafts GmbH, Neustädtische Kirchstraße 8, 10117 Berlin, e-mail address: office(at)gas-h2(dot)de.
Access Data
The website operator or site provider collects data about access to the site and stores it as ‘server log files’. The following data is logged in this way:
- Website visited
- Time at the time of access
- Amount of data sent in bytes
- Source/reference from which you reached the page
- Browser and browser version used
- Operating system used
- IP address used
The data collected is only used for statistical analyses and to improve the website. However, the website operator reserves the right to check the server log files retrospectively if there are concrete indications of unlawful use.
Matomo
We use the web analysis service Matomo from InnoCraft Ltd, 150 Willis St, 6011 Wellington, New Zealand (‘Matomo’) to statistically analyze our website.
Matomo is an open source tool for web analysis. We host Matomo on our own server and operate it locally. The tracking codes have been deactivated for the use of Matomo, so we use it without the use of cookies. We use the anonymized data collected to analyze the use of our website and individual functions in order to continuously improve the user experience. By statistically evaluating user behavior, we improve our offering and make it more interesting for visitors.
The information collected in this way is stored exclusively on our server and automatically deleted on a regular basis. No data is passed on to third parties or transmitted to servers that are outside the control of GW. When you visit our website, your IP address is further processed in abbreviated form using the ‘Anonymize Visitors’ IP addresses’ setting (anonymization of 3 bytes). This excludes the possibility of direct personal identification and you as a user remain anonymous. The following data is collected:
- anonymized IP address of the user’s accessing system
- the website accessed
- the website from which the user accessed the website (referrer)
- the subpages that are accessed from the accessed website
- the time spent on the website
- the frequency with which the website is accessed
Further information on Matomo can be found here.
Google Web-Fonts
Zukunft Gas uses so-called web fonts, which are provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (“Google”), for the uniform display of fonts.
The web fonts used are installed locally on our web server. A connection to the provider’s servers and thus a transmission of the IP address does not take place, but cannot be ruled out 100 percent.
Cloudflare
We use the ‘Cloudflare’ service. The provider is Cloudflare Inc, 101 Townsend St., San Francisco, CA 94107, USA (hereinafter referred to as ‘Cloudflare’). Cloudflare offers a globally distributed content delivery network with DNS. The information transfer between your browser and our website is technically routed via the Cloudflare network. This enables Cloudflare to analyze the data traffic between your browser and our website and to serve as a filter between our servers and potentially malicious data traffic from the Internet. Cloudflare may also use cookies or other technologies to recognize Internet users, but these are used solely for the purpose described here. The use of Cloudflare is based on our legitimate interest in providing our website as error-free and secure as possible (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO). The data transfer to the USA is based on the standard contractual clauses of the EU Commission. You can find details here. Further information on security and data protection at Cloudflare can be found here and on the Data Privacy Framework here. Cloudflare has also drawn up a voluntary commitment to comply with the European GDPR.
