Data Protection & Privacy Policy

This policy clarifies the nature, scope and purposes of the collection and use of data of visitors and users (hereinafter collectively referred to as “users”) by MGBC Firms OÜ, Harju maakond, Kuusalu vald, Pudisoo küla, Männimäe/1, 74626, Estonia (hereinafter “provider”) as the entity responsible for data protection.

 

If you have any questions regarding data protection, you can reach us on weekdays from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. by e-mail at contact@mgbcfirms.com.

 

The provider collects data about every access to the online offer (so-called server log files). The access data includes the name of the accessed website, file, date and time of access, transferred data volume, notification of successful access, browser type and version, the user’s operating system, referrer URL (the previously visited page), IP address and the requesting provider.

The provider uses the protocol data without allocation to the person of the user or other profile creation according to the legal regulations only for statistical evaluations for the purpose of operation, security and optimization of the online offer. However, the provider reserves the right to check the log data subsequently if there is a justified suspicion of illegal use based on concrete evidence.

 

Personal data is only collected and used by the provider if this is legally permitted or the users agree to the collection of data. As a rule, users can see which data is stored when using the service, for example name, e-mail address and message when using the order form.

The personal data provided for the purpose of ordering goods (such as name, e-mail address, postal address, payment data) will be used by the seller to fulfill and process the contract. This data is treated confidentially, transmitted in encrypted form and not passed on to third parties who are not involved in the ordering, delivery and payment process.

When contacting the provider (via contact form or e-mail), the user’s details are stored for the purpose of processing the enquiry and in the event that follow-up questions arise.

The provider has taken organisational, contractual and technical security measures to ensure that the provisions of the data protection laws are complied with and that accidental or intentional manipulation, loss, destruction or access by unauthorised persons is prevented.

 

User data will only be forwarded to third parties if this is legally permitted or if a user has consented to the forwarding.

 

This is the case, for example, if the forwarding of the data serves to fulfil contractual obligations towards the user and the postal address is transferred to a forwarding company after a shop order. Or if the data is requested by competent authorities such as law enforcement agencies.

 

The personal data of the users are in no way sold or passed on to third parties for advertising purposes or for the creation of user profiles.

 

 

The provider uses “cookies” within the framework of its online offer. Cookies are small files that are stored on the user’s computer and can store information for providers. Temporary cookies are deleted when the browser is closed, permanent cookies are retained for a specified period of time and can make the stored information available when the online offer is called up again.

 

Cookies are used on the one hand to facilitate the use of the service. For example, a cookie stores the shopping cart status of a user.

The user can influence the use of the cookies. Most browsers have an option to restrict or completely prevent the storage of cookies. The provider makes every effort to design the online offer in such a way that the use of cookies is not necessary. However, it is pointed out that the use and in particular the comfort of use are restricted without cookies.

 

E-mails with promotional information about the provider and his services are only sent with the express consent of the user. Users can object to receiving the newsletter at any time. An objection possibility is found among other things in each e-mail.

 

Before the newsletter is sent, the e-mail owner receives a confirmation e-mail in which he must confirm the newsletter registration. Non-confirmed subscriptions are automatically deleted within four weeks at the latest.

 

Messages within the scope of the contractual relationship with the user do not belong to advertising information. This includes the sending of technical information, information on payment processing, queries on orders and comparable messages.

 

Users can subsequently request to be removed from the notification list by e-mail to the contact details given above.

 

During the registration process, the provider stores the registration and confirmation time and the IP address of the user. The provider is legally obliged to log the registrations in order to be able to prove a proper registration.

 

 

The provider uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service of Google Inc. (“Google”). Google Analytics uses so-called “cookies”, text files that are stored on the user’s computer and which enable an analysis of the use of the website by you. The information generated by the cookie about the use of the website by the user is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there.

 

However, in the event that IP anonymisation is activated on this website, the IP address of Google’s users within member states of the European Union or in other states which are party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area will be shortened beforehand. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transferred to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. IP anonymization is active on this website.

On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate the use of the website by the users, to compile reports on the website activities and to provide further services to the website operator in connection with the website and internet use.

 

The IP address transmitted by your browser within the framework of Google Analytics is not merged with other data from Google. Users can prevent the storage of cookies by adjusting their browser software accordingly. However, the provider points out to the users that in this case they may not be able to use all functions of this website to their full extent.

Users can also prevent the collection of data generated by the cookie and related to their use of the website (including your IP address) to Google and the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at the following link: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de.

 

 

 

This website uses the remarketing function “Custom Audiences” of Facebook Inc. (“Facebook”). This function is used to present visitors to this website with interest-based advertisements (“Facebook Ads”) as part of their visit to the social network Facebook. For this purpose, the Remarketing tag of Facebook was implemented on this website. This tag is used to establish a direct connection to the Facebook servers when visiting the website. In doing so, it is transmitted to the Facebook server that you have visited this website and Facebook assigns this information to your personal Facebook user account. You can find more detailed information on the collection and use of data by Facebook as well as on your rights and options for protecting your privacy in this regard in the Facebook privacy policy at https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/. Alternatively, you can use the remarketing function “Custom Audiences” under https://www.facebook.com/settings/?tab=ads#_=_ disable. You must be logged in to Facebook to do this.

 

This online offer uses social plugins (“plugins”) of the social network facebook.com, which is operated by Facebook Inc, 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA (“Facebook”). The plugins can be recognized by one of the Facebook logos (white “f” on blue tile or a “thumbs up” sign) or are marked with the addition “Facebook Social Plugin”. The list and appearance of the Facebook Social Plugins can be viewed here: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/.

 

When a user calls up a website of this online offer that contains such a plugin, his browser establishes a direct connection with the Facebook servers. The content of the plugin is transmitted by Facebook directly to the user’s browser and integrated into the website by the browser. The provider therefore has no influence on the extent of the data that Facebook collects with the help of this plugin and therefore informs the users according to their level of knowledge: By integrating the plugin, Facebook receives the information that a user has called up the corresponding page of the online offer.

If the user is logged in to Facebook, Facebook can assign the visit to his or her Facebook account. When users interact with the plugins, for example, by pressing the Like button or posting a comment, the corresponding information is transmitted directly from their browser to Facebook and stored there. If a user is not a member of Facebook, it is still possible for Facebook to find out his or her IP address and store it. According to Facebook, only an anonymous IP address is stored in Germany.

 

The purpose and scope of the data collection and the further processing and use of the data by Facebook, as well as the relevant rights and setting options to protect the privacy of users, can be found in the Facebook privacy policy: https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/.

 

If a user is a Facebook member and does not want Facebook to collect data about him or her via this online offer and link it with his or her membership data stored on Facebook, he or she must log out of Facebook before visiting the website and delete the corresponding Facebook cookies. It is also possible to block Facebook social plug-ins with add-ons for the browser, for example with the “Facebook Blocker”.

 

 

This online offer uses the buttons of the social network Google+ (e.g. “+1” button), which is operated by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, United States (“Google”). When a user calls up a website of this online offer that contains such a button, the browser establishes a direct connection with the servers of Google. The content of the buttons is transmitted by Google directly to its browser, which integrates it into the website. The provider therefore has no influence on the extent of the data that Google collects with the buttons.

 

According to Google, no personal data will be collected without a click on the button. Such data, including the IP address, is only collected and processed by logged-in members of Google+. The purpose and scope of the data collection and the further processing and use of the data by Google as well as the relevant rights and setting options of the users to protect their privacy can be found in Google’s data protection information on the “+1″ button: http://www.google.com/intl/de/+/policy/+1button.html and the FAQ: http://bit.ly/r3Qmer.

 

If a user is a Google+ member and does not want Google to collect data about him or her through this website and link it to his or her membership data stored by Google, the user must log out of Google Plus before visiting this website and delete the cookies belonging to Google within the browser.

 

 

On this online offer the buttons of the Twitter service are used. These buttons (e.g. “Tweet” or “Follow”) are provided by Twitter Inc, 795 Folsom St., Suite 600, San Francisco, CA 94107, USA.

When a user calls up a website of this Internet presence that contains such a button, his browser establishes a direct connection with the servers of Twitter. The content of the Twitter button is transmitted by Twitter directly to the user’s browser. The provider therefore has no influence on the extent of the data that Twitter collects with the help of this plugin and informs the users according to its state of knowledge. According to this, only the IP address of the user the URL of the respective website is transmitted when the button is obtained, but not used for any other purpose than the display of the button.

 

Further information on this can be found in the Twitter privacy policy at http://twitter.com/privacy.

 

On this offer the buttons (“Pin It”) of the Pinterest service, http://pinterest.com are used. The buttons allow users to share the provider’s articles on their “Pinterest Boards”.

When a user accesses a web page that contains a “Pin It” button, their browser establishes a direct connection to Pinterest’s servers. The content of the “Pin It” button is transmitted directly from Pinterest to the user’s browser. The Provider therefore has no influence on the amount of data that Pinterest collects using the “Pin It” button and informs the users according to its state of knowledge. According to this, only the user’s IP address and the URL of the respective website will be transmitted, but only for the purpose of displaying the “Pin It” button and for sharing the content. Further information on this can be found in Pinterest’s privacy policy at http://pinterest.com/about/privacy/.
