The controller is the natural person or legal entity that alone or jointly with others determines the purposes and means of processing personal data (e.g., names, email addresses, etc.).
Our website uses tools provided by companies based in the USA. When these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to servers located in the United States. It is important to note that the USA is not considered a safe third country under EU data protection law. US companies are obligated to disclose personal data to security authorities without the possibility for you, as the data subject, to challenge this legally. Therefore, it cannot be ruled out that US authorities (such as intelligence agencies) may process, analyze, and permanently store your data on US servers for surveillance purposes. We have no control over these processing activities.
A wide range of data processing transactions are possible only subject to your express consent. You can also revoke at any time any consent you have already given us. This shall be without prejudice to the lawfulness of any data collection that occurred prior to your revocation.
If your personal data is processed based on Article 6(1)(e) or (f) of the GDPR, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of your data on grounds relating to your particular situation. This right also applies to profiling conducted under these legal bases. To understand the specific legal basis for processing your data, please refer to this Data Protection Declaration. If you submit an objection, we will no longer process your personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that override your interests, rights, and freedoms, or if the processing is necessary for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims (objection under Article 21(1) GDPR).
If your personal data is processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of your data for such advertising. This also includes profiling to the extent that it relates to direct marketing. Upon objection, your personal data will no longer be used for direct marketing purposes (objection under Article 21(2) GDPR).
If you believe that your rights under the GDPR have been violated, you have the right to file a complaint with a supervisory authority. This can be done in the member state where you usually reside, work, or where the alleged infringement took place. This right to lodge a complaint exists independently of any other administrative or judicial remedies you may pursue.
You have the right to request that any data we process automatically based on your consent or to fulfill a contract be provided to you or a third party in a commonly used, machine-readable format. Should you request the direct transfer of this data to another controller, we will comply only if it is technically feasible.
To ensure the security and confidentiality of data you submit to us, such as purchase orders or inquiries, this website uses SSL or TLS encryption technology. You can identify a secure connection by the change in the browser’s address bar from “http://” to “https://” and by the presence of a lock icon.
When SSL or TLS encryption is enabled, any data transmitted to us is protected from being accessed by third parties.
Under the applicable legal provisions, you have the right to request information at any time about the personal data we have stored about you, including their source, recipients, and the purpose of processing. You may also have the right to request correction or deletion of your data. If you have any questions regarding this or any other matter related to personal data, please feel free to contact us at the address provided in the “Information Required by Law” section.
You have the right to request restrictions on the processing of your personal data at any time. To exercise this right, please contact us using the address provided in the “Information Required by Law” section. The right to restrict processing applies in the following situations:
– If you contest the accuracy of your data stored by us, we will need time to verify your claim. During this period, you can request that we restrict the processing of your personal data.
– If your personal data has been processed unlawfully, you may request restriction of processing instead of deletion.
– If we no longer need your personal data but you require it to assert, exercise, or defend legal claims, you have the right to request restriction instead of deletion.
– If you have objected to processing under Article 21(1) GDPR, the balance between your rights and our interests must be assessed. Until it is determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to demand restriction of processing.
When processing has been restricted, your personal data may only be processed—with the exception of storage—with your consent, for asserting or defending legal claims, protecting the rights of others, or for important public interest reasons recognized by the European Union or an EU member state.
Our websites and pages use what the industry refers to as “cookies.” Cookies are small text files that do not cause any damage to your device. They are either stored temporarily for the duration of a session (session cookies) or they are permanently archived on your device (permanent cookies). Session cookies are automatically deleted once you terminate your visit. Permanent cookies remain archived on your device until you actively delete them or they are automatically eradicated by your web browser.
In some cases it is possible that third party cookies are stored on your device once you enter our site (third party cookies). These cookies enable you or us to take advantage of certain services offered by the third party (e.g. cookies for the processing of payment services).
Cookies have a variety of functions. Many cookies are technically essential since certain website functions would not work in the absence of the cookies (e.g. the shopping cart function or the display of videos). The purpose of other cookies may be the analysis of user patterns or the display of promotional messages.
Cookies, which are required for the performance of electronic communication transactions (required cookies) or for the provision of certain functions you want to use (functional cookies, e.g. for the shopping cart function) or those that are necessary for the optimization of the website (e.g. cookies that provide measurable insights into the web audience), shall be stored on the basis of Art. 6 Sect. 1 lit. f GDPR, unless a different legal basis is cited. The operator of the website has a legitimate interest in the storage of cookies to ensure the technically error free and optimized provision of the operator’s services. If your consent to the storage of the cookies has been requested, the respective cookies are stored exclusively on the basis of the consent obtained (Art. 6 Sect. 1 lit. a GDPR); this consent may be revoked at any time.
You have the option to set up your browser in such a manner that you will be notified any time cookies are placed and to permit the acceptance of cookies only in specific cases. You may also exclude the acceptance of cookies in certain cases or in general or activate the delete function for the automatic eradication of cookies when the browser closes. If cookies are deactivated, the functions of this website may be limited.
In the event that third party cookies are used or if cookies are used for analytical purposes, we will separately notify you in conjunction with this Data Protection Policy and, if applicable, ask for your consent.
When you submit inquiries via our contact form, the information you provide, including any contact details, will be stored by us to handle your request and to follow up if necessary. We will not share this information without your consent.
The processing of this data is based on Article 6(1)(b) GDPR if your inquiry relates to the performance of a contract or pre-contractual measures. In other cases, processing is based on our legitimate interest in efficiently managing incoming requests (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR) or on your consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR), if you have given it.
The data you provide via the contact form will be retained until you request its deletion, withdraw your consent for storage, or the purpose for which the data was collected no longer applies (e.g., after we have completed our response to your inquiry). This is without prejudice to any mandatory legal retention requirements.
If you contact us by e-mail, telephone or fax, your request, including all resulting personal data (name, request) will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of processing your request. We do not pass these data on without your consent.
These data are processed on the basis of Art. 6 Sect. 1 lit. b GDPR if your inquiry is related to the fulfillment of a contract or is required for the performance of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the data are processed on the basis of our legitimate interest in the effective handling of inquiries submitted to us (Art. 6 Sect. 1 lit. f GDPR) or on the basis of your consent (Art. 6 Sect. 1 lit. a GDPR) if it has been obtained.
The data sent by you to us via contact requests remain with us until you request us to delete, revoke your consent to the storage or the purpose for the data storage lapses (e.g. after completion of your request). Mandatory statutory provisions – in particular statutory retention periods – remain unaffected.
This website uses features from the web analytics service Google Analytics, provided by Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.
Google Analytics allows the website operator to analyze visitor behavior. For this purpose, the operator receives various user data, such as the pages visited, time spent on the site, the operating system used, and the user’s geographic origin. Google may combine this data to create a profile assigned to the respective user or device.
Google Analytics employs technologies that enable user recognition for analyzing behavior patterns (e.g., cookies or device fingerprinting). Typically, the usage data collected is transferred to and stored on Google servers in the United States.
This analysis is based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR, as the website operator has a legitimate interest in analyzing user behavior to optimize its online services and advertising. If you have given consent (e.g., to cookie storage), processing occurs under Article 6(1)(a) GDPR and can be revoked at any time.
IP Anonymization
We have activated Google’s IP anonymization feature on this website. As a result, within the European Union or other states that have ratified the European Economic Area Convention, your IP address is shortened before transmission to the U.S. Google servers. The full IP address is only sent to the U.S. and shortened there in exceptional cases. On behalf of A2GConsulting, Google uses this information to analyze website usage, generate reports, and provide related services. The IP address transmitted is not merged with other Google data.
Browser Plugin
You can prevent Google from collecting and processing your data by installing the browser plugin available at: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en.

To ensure that fonts used on this website are uniform, this website uses so-called Web Fonts provided by Google. When you access a page on our website, your browser will load the required web fonts into your browser cache to correctly display text and fonts.
To do this, the browser you use will have to establish a connection with Google’s servers. As a result, Google will learn that your IP address was used to access this website. The use of Google Web Fonts is based on Art. 6 Sect. 1 lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in a uniform presentation of the font on the operator’s website. If a respective declaration of consent has been obtained (e.g. consent to the archiving of cookies), the data will be processed exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 Sect. 1 lit. a GDPR. Any such consent may be revoked at any time.
If your browser should not support Web Fonts, a standard font installed on your computer will be used.
For more information on Google Web Fonts, please follow this link: https://developers.google.com/fonts/faq and consult Google’s Data Privacy Declaration under: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en.
This website uses “Google reCAPTCHA” (hereafter referred to as “reCAPTCHA”), a service provided by Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), located at Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.
The purpose of reCAPTCHA is to verify whether the data submitted on this website (such as information entered in a contact form) is provided by a human user or by an automated program. To achieve this, reCAPTCHA analyzes visitor behavior based on various parameters. This analysis is automatically initiated as soon as a visitor accesses the website. During this process, reCAPTCHA collects and evaluates data such as IP address, time spent on the website, and user cursor movements. The data gathered during these analyses are transmitted to Google.
These analyses operate entirely in the background, and visitors are not explicitly notified when they occur.
Data is processed on the basis of Article 6(1)(f) GDPR, as the website operator has a legitimate interest in protecting the website from abusive automated access and spam. If consent has been obtained, processing takes place exclusively under Article 6(1)(a) GDPR, and such consent may be withdrawn at any time.
For further information about Google reCAPTCHA, please refer to Google’s Privacy Policy and Terms of Use at the following links: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en and https://policies.google.com/terms?hl=en.
