Alpha-Metall GmbH & Co. KG has integrated “Google Analytics” with its anonymization function “Anonymize IP” into its website. This function requires ja Google Analytics is a web analytics service. Web analysis is the collection, storage and processing of data concerning the behavior of website visitors. This kind of service, among other things, collects data concerning the website from which a user has navigated to our website (so-called referrer), which subpages the user has visited and how often and for how long users remain on a subpage. A web analysis is mostly used in order to optimize a website and to provide a cost-benefit analysis of internet marketing. The operating company of Google-Analytics is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA. For the web analysis with Google Analytics, the controller adds "_gat._anonymizeIp" to the tracking code. This truncates and anonymizes the IP address of the data subject’s internet connection if our website is being accessed from a Member or Union State. The purpose of Google Analytics is to analyze the flow of visitors to our website. Google uses the collected data and information to evaluate, for example, the usage of our website in order to provide online reports, which present what activity is being carried out on our website, and to provide further services concerning the usage of our website. Google Analytics places a cookie on the data subject’s system. We explained cookies at the beginning of the privacy statement. By placing the cookie, Google enables our website’s usage to be analyzed. Every time one of the subpages of our website – for which we are responsible and on which Google Analytics is integrated – is accessed, the internet browser of the data subject’s system automatically transmits data to Google for the purpose of online analysis. In the course of this technical process, Google receives personal data, such as the data subject’s IP address. Google uses this to retrace the origin of the visitors and clicks and subsequently to enable commission settlements. The cookie enables the storage of personal information, for example access time, the location from which our website was accessed, and the number of times the data subject has been on our website. Each time our website is accessed, this personal data including the IP address of the data subject’s internet connection are transmitted to Google in the USA. This data is stored by Google in the USA. Google may disclose this data to third parties. As stated above, the data subject can prevent the placing of cookies via our website at any time by using the relevant settings in their browser and consequently object to the storage of cookies permanently. This setting also prevents Google from placing a cookie in the data subject’s system. Furthermore, a cookie that has already been placed by Google can be erased via the internet browser or another software at any time.
The data subject can also object to and subsequently prevent Google Analytics from collecting data concerning their usage of our website. The same goes for the processing of such data by Google. In order to do so, the data subject will need to download an add-on under https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout and install it in their browser. This browser add-on informs Google Analytics via ja You will find further information and the applicable data protection regulations of Google under https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/ and under http://www.google.com/analytics/terms/de.html. You will find a detailed explanation of Google Analytics under https://www.google.com/intl/de_de/analytics/. The legal basis for the processing of personal data is the regulation provided in point a) of art. 6 par. 1 of the General Data Protection insofar as Alpha-Metall GmbH & Co. KG requests permission from the data subject. If the processing of a data subject’s personal data is necessary for the initiation, performance or termination of a contract with the controller, the processing of such data is lawful pursuant to point b) of art. 6 par. 1 of the General Data Protection Regulation. If the controller is subject to a legal obligation which makes the processing of personal data necessary, such processing is lawful pursuant to point c) of art. 6 par. 1 of the General Data Protection Regulation. In rare cases, processing personal data is necessary in order to protect the vital interests of the data subject or of another natural person. This applies, for example, if the controller is aware that the data subject is injured and the controller needs to call for medical assistance. In such and similar cases, the processing of personal data is lawful pursuant to point d) of art. 6 par. 1 of the GDPR. Alpha-Metall GmbH & Co. KG is allowed to process personal data pursuant to point f) of art. 6 par. 1 of the GDPR for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by the controller or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and liberties of the data subject which require protection of personal data. The execution of business activities for the benefit of our employees and our shareholders is a legitimate interest. Alpha-Metall GmbH & Co. KG explains explicitly that we are legally bound to provide personal data to some extent. This applies, for example, in relation to the tax law and contractual provisions. A contract with the controller can only be concluded if the necessary personal data of the person concerned is fully provided. If you have any questions concerning the basis and necessity of processing, you can contact the controller by any of the communication means stated above.
