Our MINIMAX website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service of Google. Google can be reached at Google Dublin, Google Ireland Ltd, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. Google Analytics uses "Cookies". These are text files which are stored on your computer to analyse the way you use the MINIMAX website. The information about the way you use our website created by the cookie is usually sent to and stored on a Google server in the USA. IP address anonymization is performed on the MINIMAX website so that your IP address is truncated beforehand by Google within Member States of the European Union or in other countries which are parties to the European Economic Area agreement. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address sent to and only then truncated on a Google server in the USA. Google uses this information on behalf of the website operator to evaluate the way you use our website, to collate reports on website activities and to provide MINIMAX with other services related to website and Internet use. The IP address sent by your browser as part of Google Analytics is not combined with other data held by Google.
The use of Google Analytics is covered by Article 6 (1) sentence 1 a) GDPR where consent is obtained in advance and by Article 6 (1) sentence 1 f) GDPR, as MINIMAX has a legitimate interest in processing data in this case. We use Google Analytics to analyse the use which is made of our website and to improve it on a regular basis. We will only process your data for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purpose for which they have been collected (in this case for creating and evaluating statistics).
You can change your browser settings to prevent cookies from being stored; however, you should realise that, in these circumstances, you may find that you are unable to make full use of functions on the website. You can also prevent the data (including your IP address) relating to your use of the website which is captured by the cookie being sent to or processed by Google by downloading and installing the browser plug-in from the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de
You can prevent cookies being set by using an opt-out cookie. If you wish to prevent cookies being set the next time you visit this MINIMAX website, click here: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de.
We use the analysis program Piwik Pro ("Piwik") of Piwik PRO GmbH, Lina-Bommer-Weg 6, 51149 Cologne. Piwik is an open-source software which is used for the statistical evaluation of user visits. Piwik also uses cookies. The information created in this way about the use made of our websites is stored on our server in Germany. Your IP address is anonymised as soon as it has been processed and before it is stored. The information cannot be used to identify particular persons. We do not combine the IP address which Piwik sends from your browser with any other data which we collect. We use the information collected by Piwik to evaluate the use which is made of our MINIMAX website and to produce reports on the website activities of our website users.
The use of Piwik is covered by Article 6 (1) sentence 1 a) GDPR provided you have given your consent. MINIMAX also has a legitimate interest and the processing of data is therefore also lawful under Article 6 (1) sentence 1 f) GDPR.
If you do not consent to the data relating to your visit to our website being stored and evaluated, you can object to such storage and use by mouse click. An opt-out cookie is then placed on your browser which will then prevent Piwik collecting any session data. Please remember: if you delete your cookies, this will also delete the opt-out cookie and you may have to enable it again. Please also note that this may mean that you will then be unable to use all the functions of our website.
More information about Piwik's data protection rules is available at: https://piwikpro.de/datenschutz/.
Our website uses counting pixel technology provided by WiredMinds GmbH (www.wiredminds.de) to analyze visitor behavior. In connection with this, the IP address of the visitor is processed. The processing occurs only for the purpose of collecting company based information such as company name, for example. IP addresses of natural persons are excluded from any further processing by means of a whitelist. An IP address is not stored in LeadLab under any circumstances.
While processing data, it is our outmost interest to protect the rights of natural persons. Our interest in processing data is based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. At no time is it possible to draw conclusions from the collected data on an identifiable person.
WiredMinds GmbH uses this information to create anonymized usage profiles of the visit behavior on our website. Data obtained during this process is not used to personally identify visitors of our website.
MINIMAX uses the reCAPTCHA service of Google Inc. ("Google") to protect the enquiry data you enter in the contact form. Google can be reached at Google Dublin, Google Ireland Ltd, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. The purpose of the test is to predict whether data are being entered by a human or abusively by a processing robot. The test includes sending to Google the IP address and any other data required by Google for the reCAPTCHA service. The data you enter are therefore sent to Google which may then make further use of them. However, the IP anonymization activated by MINIMAX on this website means that Google will first truncate your IP address in Member States of the European Union or in other state parties to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address sent to and truncated on a Google server in the USA. Google will only use such information on behalf of MINIMAX to evaluate your use of this service. The IP address sent by your browser by reCAPTCHA is not combined with other data held by Google.
The use of reCAPTCHA is lawful under Article 6 (1) sentence 1 f) GDPR as processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by MINIMAX. We use reCAPTCHA to prevent our website being misused. We will only process your data for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purpose for which they have been collected (in this case preventing misuse of our website).

This website uses Google Maps API, a map service from Google Inc. ("Google"). Google can be reached at Google Dublin, Google Ireland Ltd, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. This enables us to display interactive maps directly on the website and makes it easy for you to use the map functions.
When you visit the MINIMAX website Google receives the information that you have accessed the corresponding subpage of our website. The following data may also be sent to Google:
This is done regardless of whether you have a Google user account to log in with or whether you don't have a user account. If you have logged in through Google, your data are assigned directly to your account. You must log out before activating the button if you do not wish Google to identify you with your profile. Google stores your data as user profiles and uses them for advertising, market research and/or web design purposes. Any such use is made in particular (including for users who are not logged in) to provide tailored advertising and to inform other users of the social network about your activities on our website. You are entitled to object to the creation of this user profile: this right must be asserted against Google directly.
It is simple to disable the Google maps service and this then prevents data being transferred to Google: simply disable JavaScript in your browser. However, we do point out that you will then no longer be able to use the map display function.
The use of Google Maps is lawful under Article 6 (1) sentence 1 f) GDPR as processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by MINIMAX. We use Google Maps API to be able to offer you a map function. We will only process your data for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purpose for which they have been collected.
More information about the purpose and scope of data collection and the processing of such data by Google is provided in Google's privacy policy. This policy also provides more information about your rights and the settings which enable you to protect your privacy: http://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy.
