The protection of your personal data is very important to us. BG & Partner AG has therefore made it its mission to treat your data with the utmost care.
The following information is intended to provide you with details of how your data is collected during your visit to our website, how it is stored and how it is used. It also explains who is responsible for the aforementioned process and what options you have to influence how your data is handled. Your data is collected in accordance with the applicable legal provisions of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the country-specific data protection regulations that apply to us.
As the data controller, BG & Partner AG has implemented numerous technical and organisational measures to ensure the most complete protection possible of the personal data processed via this website. Nevertheless, Internet-based data transmissions can generally have security gaps, so that absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, every data subject is free to transmit personal data to us by alternative means, for example by telephone.

Collection of general data and information
All types of access to the BG & Partner AG website are logged using a standardised procedure. This includes usage data such as the sub-website visited, the browser used by the user with the respective version and operating system, the previously visited website from which our site was accessed (so-called referrer URL), the IP address and, if applicable, the host name of the user derived from it, time and date of access to our website, addresses accessed, the amount of data transferred and other processes that take place. This procedure is used solely for internal security measures and for logging for statistical purposes. We do not link your usage data to data that allows conclusions to be drawn about your person. The usage data is required to deliver the content of our website correctly and to ensure its long-term functionality. In addition, we use it in the event of an attack to identify the perpetrator or make the information available to the relevant security authorities.
The legal basis for data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR. Our legitimate interest follows from the above-mentioned purposes for data collection.
Processing of personal data
The term ‘personal data’ is defined in the GDPR. According to this definition, personal data is any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. A natural person is considered identifiable if they can be identified directly or indirectly, in particular by association with an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or one or more special characteristics that express the physical, physiological, genetic, psychological, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person.
Your personal data is collected when you contact us via our website. We use the personal data transmitted in this way exclusively for the purpose for which you provide us with this data. After contact has been made, the data will be deleted, provided that there are no legal obligations to retain it.
The legal basis for data processing for the purpose of contacting us is Art. 6 (1) lit. b GDPR. When you send us an enquiry, we assume that you wish to be contacted and that we thereby enter into a contractual or pre-contractual relationship.
Cookies
Our website uses cookies that are stored by your browser on your device and contain certain settings for using the website (e.g. for the current session).
Processing of cookie data based on consent
Before we process or have data processed in connection with the use of cookies, we ask users for their consent, which can be revoked at any time. By confirming, you give us your consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR to use your personal data. Before consent has been given, only cookies that are necessary for the operation of our online offering will be used. Their use is based on our interest and the interest of users in the expected functionality of our online offering (within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR).
Cookies serve to 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 so-called session cookies, which are automatically deleted after you close your browser. Other cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them or the storage period expires. These cookies enable us to recognise your browser the next time you visit. In some cases, cookies are used to simplify website processes by storing settings (e.g. retaining previously selected options).

Google Analytics
Our website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (‘Google’). Google Analytics uses so-called ‘cookies’.
Google will use this information on behalf of the operator of this website to evaluate your use of the website and to compile reports on website activity. Google will also use this information to provide the website operator with other services related to the use of the website and the internet. The IP address sent by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be combined with other data from Google. Processing is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR on the basis of the consent you have given.
We only use Google Analytics with IP anonymisation enabled. This means that your IP address will only be processed by Google in truncated form.
Since personal data is transferred to the United States, additional safeguards are required to ensure the level of data protection provided by the GDPR. To ensure this, we have agreed on standard data protection clauses with the provider in accordance with Art. 46(2)(c) GDPR. These oblige the recipient of the data in the United States to process the data in accordance with the level of protection in Europe. In cases where this cannot be ensured even by this contractual extension, we endeavour to obtain additional regulations and commitments from the recipient in the USA.
The terms of use of Google Analytics and information on data protection can be accessed via the following links:
http://www.google.com/analytics/terms/de.html
https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/
The data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer required for the purpose for which it was collected. Data at the user and event level that is linked to cookies, user IDs (e.g. user ID) and advertising IDs (e.g. DoubleClick cookies, Android advertising ID, IDFA [Apple identifier for advertisers]) is deleted no later than 14 months after it is collected.
You can prevent cookies from being stored by adjusting the settings of your browser software accordingly. However, we would like to point out that in this case you may not be able to use all functions of this website to their full extent. You can also prevent Google from collecting the data generated by the cookie and analysing your use of the website (including your IP address) and from processing this data by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de.
Google Fonts
We use Google Fonts, a service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (hereinafter referred to as ‘Google’), on our website. Google Fonts enables us to use external fonts. When you visit our website, the required Google Fonts are loaded from our web server into your browser cache. This is necessary so that your browser can display our texts in a visually improved form. If your browser does not support this function, a standard font from your computer will be used for display.
The fonts are hosted by us and are therefore not loaded from an external provider. This requires the processing of your IP address.
We use Google Fonts for optimisation purposes, in particular to improve the use of our website for you and to make its design more user-friendly. The legal basis for data processing is our legitimate interest in this regard pursuant to Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR.
