Data protection is of a particularly high priority for the management of the following publisher of this website: Crous Chemicals GmbH. It is generally possible to use the Crous Chemicals GmbH website without providing any personal data. However, if a data subject wishes to make use of special services offered by our company via our website++, processing of personal data may be necessary.

4. Cookies
The Internet pages of Crous Chemicals GmbH use cookies. Cookies are text files that are stored and stored on a computer system via an Internet browser.
Numerous websites and servers use cookies. Many cookies contain a so-called cookie ID. A cookie ID is a unique identifier of the cookie. It consists of a string of characters through which websites and servers can be assigned to the specific Internet browser in which the cookie was stored. This enables the websites and servers visited to distinguish the individual browser of the data subject from other Internet browsers that contain other cookies. A specific Internet browser can be recognized and identified via the unique cookie ID.
Through the use of cookies, Crous Chemicals GmbH can provide the users of this website with more user-friendly services that would not be possible without the cookie setting.
By means of a cookie, the information and offers on our website can be optimized for the user. As already mentioned, cookies enable us to recognize users of our website. The purpose of this recognition is to make it easier for users to use our website. For example, the user of a website that uses cookies does not have to re-enter his login data every time he visits the website, because this is taken over by the website and the cookie stored on the user's computer system. Another example is the cookie from a shopping cart in an online shop. The online shop remembers the items that a customer has placed in the virtual shopping cart using a cookie.
We also use cookies on our website, which make it possible to analyze the surfing behavior of users.
The following data can be transmitted in this way:
Frequency of page views
Search terms entered
Use of website features
User data collected in this way is pseudonymized through technical measures. It is therefore no longer possible to assign the data to the calling user. The data is not stored together with other personal user data.
When visiting our website, the user is informed about the use of cookies for analysis purposes and his consent to the processing of personal data used in this context is obtained. In this context, reference is also made to this privacy policy.
The legal basis for processing personal data using cookies for analysis purposes is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR, if the user has given their consent to this effect.
The data subject can prevent cookies from being set by our website at any time by means of an appropriate setting of the Internet browser used and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. In addition, cookies that have already been set can be deleted at any time via an Internet browser or other software programs. This is possible in all common Internet browsers. If the data subject deactivates this setting of cookies in the Internet browser used, not all functions of our website may be fully usable.
5. Collection of general data and information
The website of Crous Chemicals GmbH collects a series of general data and information when a data subject or automated system calls up the website. This general + data and information is stored in the server's log files. The (1) browser types and versions used, (2) the operating system used by the accessing system, (3) the website from which the intervening system accesses our website (so-called referrer), (4) the sub-websites that are accessed via an accessing system on our website, (5) the date and time of access to the website, (6) an Internet protocol address (6) an Internet protocol address (IP address), (7) the Internet service provider of the accessing system and (8) other similar data and information, which serve to avert threats in the event of attacks on our information technology systems.
When using these general data and information, the Crous Chemicals GmbH does not draw any conclusions about the data subject. Rather, this information is required to (1) correctly deliver the content of our website, (2) to optimize the content of our website and advertising for it, (3) to ensure the long-term functionality of our information technology systems and the technology of our website, and (4) to provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for law enforcement in the event of a cyber attack. This anonymously collected data and information is therefore evaluated by Crous Chemicals GmbH both statistically and also with the aim of increasing data protection and data security in our company in order to also ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data we process. The anonymous data of the server log files are stored separately from all personal data provided by a data subject.
In addition, the following personal data is also collected, subject to the express permission of the users concerned and in compliance with the applicable data protection regulations:
Users' first and last names
Users' IP address
Users' email address
Information about the place of residence (postal code, etc.)
The processing of personal data is based on our legitimate interest to fulfill our contractually agreed services and to optimize our online offering.
You can also visit this website without providing any information about yourself. However, to improve our online offering, we store your access data to this website (without personal reference). This access data includes, for example, the file you requested or the name of your Internet provider. By anonymizing the data, it is not possible to draw conclusions about your person.
6. SSL encryption
To protect the security of your data during transmission, we use state-of-the-art encryption methods (such as SSL) via HTTPS.
7. Subscription to our newsletter
On the website of the Crous Chemicals GmbH, users are given the opportunity to subscribe to our enterprise's newsletter. The input mask used for this purpose shows which personal data is transmitted to the person responsible for processing when ordering the newsletter.
The Crous Chemicals GmbH informs its customers and business partners regularly by means of a newsletter about enterprise offers. In principle, the data subject can only receive our company's newsletter if (1) the data subject has a valid e-mail address and (2) the data subject registers to receive the newsletter. For legal reasons, a confirmation email will be sent to the e-mail address entered by an affected person for the first time for sending the newsletter. This confirmation email is used to verify whether the owner of the email address has authorized the data subject to receive the newsletter.
When registering for the newsletter, we also store the IP address assigned by the Internet service provider (ISP) of the computer system used by the person concerned at the time of registration and the date and time of registration. The collection of this data is necessary in order to be able to understand (possible) misuse of a data subject's email address at a later stage and therefore serves to legally protect the person responsible for processing.
The personal data collected as part of a subscription to the newsletter is used exclusively to send our newsletter. In addition, subscribers to the newsletter could be informed by e-mail if this is necessary to operate the newsletter service or to register in this regard, as could be the case in the event of changes to the newsletter offer or if technical conditions change. There is no transfer of personal data collected as part of the newsletter service to third parties. The subscription to our newsletter can be cancelled by the data subject at any time. The consent to the storage of personal data that the person concerned has given us for sending the newsletter can be withdrawn at any time. For the purpose of withdrawing consent, there is a corresponding link in every newsletter. It is also possible to unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time directly on the website of the person responsible for processing or to inform the person responsible for processing this in another way.
Part of the content of our newsletter may include promotional material.
8. Newsletter tracking
The Crous Chemicals GmbH newsletter contains so-called tracking pixels. A tracking pixel is a miniature graphic that is embedded in such emails, which are sent in HTML format to enable log file recording and log file analysis. As a result, a statistical evaluation of the success or failure of online marketing campaigns can be carried out. Based on the embedded tracking pixel, Crous Chemicals GmbH can see whether and when an e-mail was opened by a data subject and which links in the e-mail were called up by the data subject.
Such personal data collected via the tracking pixels contained in the newsletters is stored and evaluated by the person responsible for processing in order to optimize newsletter delivery and to adapt the content of future newsletters even better to the interests of the person concerned. This personal data will not be passed on to third parties. Data subjects are entitled at any time to withdraw the corresponding separate declaration of consent given via the double opt-in procedure. After a revocation, this personal data will be deleted by the person responsible for processing. Crous Chemicals GmbH automatically interprets a cancellation from receiving the newsletter as a withdrawal.
9. Registration on our website
The data subject has the option of registering on the controller's website by providing personal data. Which personal data is transmitted to the person responsible for processing is shown in the respective input mask used for registration. The personal data entered by the data subject is collected and stored exclusively for internal use by the person responsible for processing and for own purposes. The person responsible for processing may arrange for the transfer to one or more order processors, such as a parcel service provider, who also uses the personal data exclusively for internal use attributable to the person responsible for the processing.
By registering on the website of the person responsible for processing, the IP address assigned by the data subject's Internet service provider (ISP), the date and time of registration are also stored. This data is stored in view of the fact that this is the only way to prevent misuse of our services and, if necessary, enables this data to solve crimes committed. In this respect, the storage of this data is necessary to secure the person responsible for processing. In principle, this data will not be passed on to third parties unless there is a legal obligation to do so or the transfer is for law enforcement purposes.
The registration of the data subject, voluntarily providing personal data, enables the controller to offer the data subject content or services which, due to the nature of the matter, can only be offered to registered users. Registered persons are free to change the personal data provided during registration at any time or to have them completely deleted from the data set of the person responsible for processing.
The controller shall provide any data subject with information on request at any time as to which personal data is stored about the data subject. Furthermore, the person responsible for processing corrects or deletes personal data at the request or notice of the data subject, provided that there are no legal storage obligations to the contrary. The entirety of the employees of the person responsible for processing are available to the data subject as contacts in this context.
10. Contact option via the website
The website of Crous Chemicals GmbH contains information that enables quick electronic contact with our company and direct communication with us, which also includes a general address of so-called electronic mail (e-mail address). If a data subject contacts the person responsible for processing by e-mail or via a contact form, the personal data provided by the data subject is automatically stored. Such personal data provided voluntarily by a data subject to the person responsible for processing is stored for the purpose of processing or contacting the data subject. There is no transfer of this personal data to third parties.
11. Comment function in the blog on the website
Crous Chemicals GmbH offers users the opportunity to leave individual comments on individual blog posts on a blog, which is on the website of the person responsible for processing. A blog is a portal maintained on a website and generally publicly accessible, in which one or more people called bloggers or web bloggers can post articles or write down thoughts in so-called blog posts. The blog posts can usually be commented on by third parties.
If a data subject leaves a comment on the blog published on this website, in addition to the comments left by the +data subject, information about the time the comment was entered and the username (pseudonym) chosen by the data subject will be stored and published. In addition, the IP address assigned by the Internet service provider (ISP) to the data subject is logged. The IP address is stored for security reasons and in the event that the data subject violates the rights of third parties or posts illegal content by making a comment. This personal data is therefore stored in the personal interest of the person responsible for processing, so that he could exculpate himself if necessary in the event of an infringement of the law. There is no transfer of this collected personal data to third parties unless such transfer is required by law or serves to defend the rights of the person responsible for processing.
12. Subscription to blog comments on the website
The comments made on the Crous Chemicals GmbH blog can generally be subscribed to by third parties. In particular, it is possible for a commentator to subscribe to the comments following their comment on a specific blog post.
If a data subject opts for the option to subscribe to comments, the person responsible for processing sends an automatic confirmation email to check in a double opt-in process whether the owner of the email address provided has really opted for this option. The option to subscribe to comments can be canceled at any time.
13. Routine deletion and blocking of personal data
The controller processes and stores personal data of the data subject only for the period necessary to achieve the storage purpose or if this has been provided for by the European legislator or other legislator laws or regulations to which the person responsible for processing is subject.

19. Google AdWords
Our website uses Google conversion tracking. If you have reached our website via an ad placed by Google, Google Adwords will set a cookie on your computer. The conversion tracking cookie is set when a user clicks on an ad placed by Google. These cookies expire after 30 days and are not used for personal identification. If the user visits certain pages on our website and the cookie has not yet expired, we and Google can recognize that the user clicked on the ad and was redirected to that page. Each GoogleAdWords customer receives a different cookie. Cookies can therefore not be traced via the websites of AdWords customers. The information collected using the conversion cookie is used to generate conversion statistics for AdWords customers who have opted for conversion tracking. Customers learn the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a page with a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not receive any information that personally identifies users.
If you do not want to participate in tracking, you can refuse the necessary setting of a cookie — for example via a browser setting that generally deactivates the automatic setting of cookies or set your browser to block cookies from the “googleleadservices.com” domain.
Please note that you must not delete the opt-out cookies as long as you do not want measurement data to be recorded. If you have deleted all your cookies from your browser, you must set the respective opt-out cookie again.
20th Google Remarketing
This website uses the remarketing function provided by Google Inc. The function is used to present interest-based advertisements to website visitors within the Google advertising network. A so-called “cookie” is stored in the website visitor's browser, which makes it possible to recognize the visitor when the visitor accesses websites that belong to Google's advertising network. On these pages, visitors can be presented with advertisements that relate to content that the visitor has previously accessed on websites that use Google's remarketing function.
According to its own information, Google does not collect any personal data during this process. If you still do not want Google's Remarketing feature, you can always deactivate it by changing the appropriate settings at http://www.google.com/settings/adsvornehmen. Alternatively, you can disable the use of cookies for interest-based advertising via the advertising network initiative by following the instructions at http://www.networkadvertising.org/managing/opt_out.aspfolgen.
21. Legal basis of processing
Art. 6 I lit. a GDPR serves as the legal basis for our company for processing operations in which we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose. If the processing of personal data is necessary to fulfill a contract to which the affected person is a party, as is the case, for example, in processing operations that are necessary for the delivery of goods or the provision of another service or consideration, the processing is based on Art. 6 I lit. b GDPR. The same applies to such processing processes that are necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures, for example in cases of inquiries about our products or services. If our company is subject to a legal obligation which requires the processing of personal data, such as to fulfill tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6 I lit. c GDPR. In rare cases, the processing of personal data could be necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor to our company were injured and his name, age, health insurance data or other vital information would then have to be passed on to a doctor, hospital or other third party. The processing would then be based on Art. 6 I lit. d GDPR. Ultimately, processing operations could be based on Art. 6 I lit. f GDPR. Processing operations that are not covered by any of the above legal bases are based on this legal basis if processing is necessary to protect the legitimate interest of our company or a third party, provided that the interests, fundamental rights and fundamental freedoms of the data subject do not prevail. We are permitted to carry out such processing operations in particular because they have been specifically mentioned by the European legislator. In this respect, he took the view that a legitimate interest could be assumed if the data subject is a customer of the person responsible (recital 47 sentence 2 GDPR).
22. Legitimate interests in processing pursued by the person responsible or a third party
If the processing of personal data is based on Article 6 Ilit. f GDPR, our legitimate interest is to carry out our business activities for the benefit of all our employees and shareholders.
23. Duration for which personal data is stored
The criterion for the duration of storage of personal data is the respective legal retention period. After the deadline, the corresponding data is routinely deleted, unless they are no longer required to fulfill or initiate a contract.
24. Statutory or contractual provisions for the provision of personal data; necessity for the conclusion of the contract; obligation of the data subject to provide the personal data; possible consequences of failure to provide
We would like to inform you that the provision of personal data is partly required by law (e.g. tax regulations) or may also result from contractual regulations (e.g. information about the contractual partner). In order to conclude a contract, it may be necessary for a data subject to provide us with personal data, which must then be processed by us. For example, the affected person is obliged to provide us with personal data when our company concludes a contract with them. Failure to provide personal data would mean that the contract with the person concerned could not be concluded. Before personal data is provided by the person concerned, the person concerned must contact one of our employees. Our employee will inform the person concerned on a case-by-case basis whether the provision of personal data is required by law or contract or is necessary for the conclusion of the contract, whether there is an obligation to provide the personal data and what consequences would it have if the personal data was not provided.
25. amendment to the data protection policy
We reserve the right to adapt this privacy policy so that it always meets current legal requirements or to implement changes to our services in the privacy policy, e.g. when introducing new services. The new privacy policy will then apply to your next visit.
26. Existence of automated decision-making
As a responsible company, we refrain from automated decision-making or profiling.
