In order to process your request, you will be asked to provide the following data: document type, document number, address of the entity making the complaint, title, contact person, telephone number, and email address.

§ 8 Integration of YouTube videos

(1) Our website contains embedded YouTube videos, which are stored on https://www.youtube.com and can be played directly from our web pages. These videos are all embedded using “enhanced privacy mode”, which means that no data about you as a user is transmitted to YouTube if you do not play the videos. The data mentioned in paragraph 2 below is only transmitted if you play the videos. We have no control over this data transmission.

(2) When you visit the website, YouTube receives information that you have accessed the corresponding sub-page of our website. In addition, the data described in § 3 of this Privacy Policy is transmitted. This transmission occurs regardless of whether you are logged in to a YouTube user account, or whether no such user account exists. If you are logged in to Google, your data is directly assigned to your account. If you do not want your activity to be assigned to your YouTube profile, you must log out of Google before activating the button. YouTube stores your data as usage profiles and uses it for the purposes of advertising, market research, and/or tailoring its website as required. An evaluation of this kind is carried out in particular (even for users who are not logged in) for the purpose of serving tailored advertising and to inform other users of the social network about your activities on our website. You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles – you must contact YouTube to exercise this right.

(3) The legal basis for the processing of the data is your consent, which is granted via the cookie banner or when you play the video. You can revoke your consent at any time with lasting effect by changing the settings in our cookie banner. In the event that personal data is transferred to Google LLC., which is based in the USA, we have concluded standard EU contractual clauses with Google. For more information on the purpose and scope of the collection and processing of data by YouTube, please refer to Google’s privacy policy. This also contains further information about your rights and optional settings to protect your privacy: https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy
§ 9 Integration of Google Maps

(1) We use the Google Maps service on this website. This allows us to show you interactive maps directly on the website and enables convenient use of the map function by you.

(2) When you visit the website, Google receives information that you have accessed the corresponding sub-page of our website. In addition, the data described in § 3 of this Privacy Policy is transmitted. This transmission occurs regardless of whether you are logged in to a Google user account, or whether no such user account exists. If you are logged in to Google, your data is directly assigned to your account. If you do not want your activity to be assigned to your Google profile, you must log out of Google before activating the button. Google stores your data as usage profiles and uses it for the purposes of advertising, market research, and/or tailoring its website as required. An evaluation of this kind is carried out in particular (even for users who are not logged in) for the purpose of serving tailored advertising and to inform other users of the social network about your activities on our website. You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles – you must contact Google to exercise this right.

(3) The legal basis for the use of Google Maps is Art. 6 (1) a) GDPR as well as your consent granted via the cookie banner. You can revoke your consent at any time with lasting effect by changing the settings in our cookie banner or via the “Change cookie settings” button at the beginning of this Privacy Policy. For more information on the purpose and scope of the collection and processing of data by the plug-in provider, please refer to the provider’s privacy policy. This also contains further information about your rights in this regard and optional settings to protect your privacy: https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy
§ 10 Use of Google Fonts

(1) We use Google Fonts on our website. These are the "Google Fonts" of the company Google Inc. For the European area, the company Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street Dublin 4, Ireland) is responsible for all Google services. Google Fonts is an important component to ensure the quality of our website. All Google Fonts are automatically optimised for the web. This saves data volume and is a great advantage especially for use on mobile devices. When you visit our site, the low file size ensures a fast loading time. Furthermore, Google Fonts are secure web fonts. Different image synthesis systems (rendering) in different browsers, operating systems and mobile devices can lead to errors. Such errors can sometimes distort the appearance of texts or entire web pages. Thanks to the fast Content Delivery Network (CDN), there are no cross-platform problems with Google Fonts. Google Fonts supports all major browsers (Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Opera) and works reliably on most modern mobile operating systems, including Android 2.2+ and iOS 4.2+ (iPhone, iPad, iPod). We therefore use Google Fonts so that we can present our entire online service as uniformly as possible.

(2) No cookies are stored in your browser. The files are requested via Google domains fonts.googleapis.com and fonts.gstatic.com. According to Google, the requests for CSS and fonts are completely separate from all other Google services. If you have a Google account, you do not need to worry about your Google account data being transmitted to Google while using Google Fonts. The data is only stored locally on our servers, so that a transmission of your data to external Google servers does not take place and thus a data transfer to third countries is excluded. The legal basis for the use of Google Fonts is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO (legitimate interest in a uniform presentation of our websites).
§ 11 Use of Google Analytics

(1) This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google, Inc. (“Google”). Google Analytics uses “cookies”, which are text files saved on your computer, to help Google analyze how users use the website. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. In the event that IP anonymization is enabled on this website, however, your IP address will be truncated beforehand by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transmitted to a Google server in the USA and truncated there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of the website, compiling reports on website activity, and providing other services relating to website activity and internet usage for the website operator.

(2) The IP address transmitted by your browser within the scope of Google Analytics will not be merged with other data from Google.

(3) You can disable cookies by selecting the appropriate settings in your browser; however, please note that by doing so you may not be able to use all features of this website. You can also prevent the collection of the data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) by Google – and the processing of this data by Google – by downloading and installing the browser plug-in that is available at the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de

(4) This website uses Google Analytics with the extension “_anonymizeIp()”. This means that IP addresses are processed in truncated form, which means that they cannot be traced back to a specific person. To the extent that the data collected about you is personalized, this data will therefore be immediately excluded and your personal data thus immediately deleted.

(5) We use Google Analytics to analyze and regularly improve the use of our website. The statistics thus obtained enable us to improve our website and make it more appealing to you as a user. The legal basis for the use of Google Analytics is Art. 6 (1) a) GDPR as well as your consent granted via the cookie banner. You can revoke your consent at any time with lasting effect by changing the settings in our cookie banner. In the event that personal data is transferred to Google LLC., which is based in the USA, we have concluded standard EU contractual clauses with Google.

(6) Information about the third-party provider: Google Dublin, Google Ireland Ltd., Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, Fax: +353 (1) 436 1001.

§ 12 Newsletter

The following information provides details on the content of our newsletter, the procedures used for registration, sending and statistical evaluation and your right to object. By subscribing to our newsletter, you agree both to receiving this newsletter and to the procedures described below.

Newsletter content 

We only send newsletters, emails and other electronic notifications with promotional information (hereinafter "newsletter” or “newsletters”) if the consent of the recipient has been obtained or if legal permission has been granted. If the content of the newsletter is specifically outlined during the registration process, this shall be deemed decisive for the user’s consent. In addition, our newsletters contain notices of and reports on events as well as news and trends relating to the logistics and mobility industry.

Double opt-in and data logging

Registering for our newsletter involves a double opt-in process. This means that after registering, you will receive an email asking you to confirm your registration. This confirmation is necessary to prevent people from registering using a third-party email address.

Newsletter registrations are logged in order to be able to substantiate the registration process in accordance with legal requirements. This involves storing the time at which registration and confirmation took place as well as the IP address.

Use of the sender service provider "Brevo”

The newsletter is sent using "Brevo", a newsletter sending platform provided by Sendinblue GmbH, Köpenicker Str. 126, 10179 Berlin.

The email addresses of our newsletter recipients and other data concerning them, as described within this notice, are stored on Brevo's servers. Brevo uses this information to send and evaluate newsletters on our behalf. Furthermore, according to its own information, Brevo may use this data to optimise or improve its own services, e.g. to technically optimise the sending process, to optimise how newsletters are presented or for economic purposes to determine which countries recipients come from. However, Brevo does not use the data of our newsletter recipients to write to these recipients itself or to pass this information on to third parties.

We trust Brevo’s reliability and IT and data security and have concluded a data processing agreement with the company. This is an agreement in which Brevo undertakes to protect the data of our users, to process this data on our behalf in accordance with its data protection provisions and, in particular, not to pass this data on to third parties. You can view Brevo's Privacy Policy 
here.

Registration data

To subscribe to the newsletter, all you need to do is enter your email address. You also have the option of entering your first and last name. This information is used exclusively to personalise newsletters.

Statistical survey and analyses

Newsletters contain a "web beacon", i.e. a pixel-sized file that is retrieved from Brevo's server when the newsletter is opened. Through this retrieval, technical information, such as information on the browser and your system as well as your IP address and the time of retrieval, will be collected. This information is used for the technical improvement of services on the basis of the technical data retrieved and the target groups and their reading behaviour on the basis of their retrieval locations (which can be determined using the IP address) and access times.

Statistical surveys also involve determining whether newsletters are opened, when they are opened and which links are clicked. For technical reasons, this information is able to be attributed to the individual newsletter recipients. However, it is neither our nor Brevo's intention to monitor individual users. These evaluations serve instead to help us identify the reading habits of our users and to adapt our content to them or to send different content based on their interests.

Website redirection and data management

There are instances where we direct newsletter recipients to Brevo's web pages. For example, our newsletters contain a link with which newsletter recipients can view newsletters online (e.g. in the event of display problems in the email programme). Further, newsletter recipients can subsequently correct their data, e.g. their email address. Likewise, Brevo's Privacy Policy is only available on its website: 
https://www.brevo.com/de/legal/privacypolicy/.

In these contexts, we indicate that cookies are used on Brevo's web pages and that personal data is thus processed by Brevo, its partners and the service providers it uses (e.g. Google Analytics). We have no influence over the collection of this data. For more information, please consult Brevo's Privacy Policy which is available at 
https://www.brevo.com/de/legal/privacypolicy/. We would also like to draw your attention to the possibility of objecting to the collection of your data on websites for marketing purposes: http://www.aboutads.info/choices/ and http://www.youronlinechoices.com/ (applicable to the European area).

Option to stop receiving/Withdrawing your consent

You can choose to stop receiving our newsletter at any time, i.e. you may withdraw your consent. When you do this, you will also be withdrawing your consent for emails to be sent via Brevo and to the statistical analyses. Unfortunately, it is not possible to withdraw your consent to receiving emails via Brevo or to the statistical analysis separately.

You will find a link to stop receiving newsletter emails at the end of each newsletter.

Legal basis – General Data Protection Regulation

In accordance with the requirements of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) applicable as of 25 May 2018, we would like to inform you that consent to the sending of email addresses is given on the basis of Art. 6, Para. 1(a) and Art. 7 GDPR as well as Sect. 7, Para. 2(3) of the German Act Against Unfair Competition (UWG). The use of the sender service provider Brevo, the performance of statistical surveys and analyses as well as the logging of the registration process are carried out on the basis of our legitimate interests pursuant to Art. 6, Para. 1(f) GDPR. We have a legitimate interest in providing a user-friendly and secure newsletter system that serves our business interests and meets the expectations of our users.

Please also note that you may object to the future processing of your personal data at any time pursuant to the statutory provisions in accordance with Art. 21 GDPR. The objection may be declared in particular against data processing for the purposes of direct marketing.
§ 13 Fan page on LinkedIn

eibe operates a fan page on LinkedIn. The operation of this page is based on our legitimate interests in a timely and supportive information and interaction opportunity for and with our users and visitors pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) DSGVO. Apart from direct access to our fan page by entering the homepage URL, you have the possibility to get there by clicking the icon on our website. In this way, you leave the eibe website and go directly to the linked fan page. In doing so, the data below will be transferred directly to LinkedIn.

Each time you access the LinkedIn fan page, various data is collected, such as the amount of data transferred, the IP address used or the time of access. LinkedIn uses cookies, i.e. small text files that are stored on the various end devices of the user, to store and further process this information. If the user has a LinkedIn profile and is logged in, the storage and analysis also take place across devices.

The technical access, as well as the further use of this data, which is generated in the context of accessing the fan page, is generally the responsibility of LinkedIn. eibe has neither access to the collected usage data nor can we determine how LinkedIn uses this data.

Furthermore, we would like to point out that data processing by LinkedIn may take place outside the EU or the European Economic Area. You can find further details on the handling of data by LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy?_l=
§ 14 Deletion periods

Your personal data will be deleted subject to the following conditions: we are under no legal obligations to retain it, you have requested its deletion, and the data is no longer required to fulfill the purpose for which it was stored, or its storage is not permitted on other legal grounds.
§ 15 Video surveillance on our company premises

We hereby inform visitors to our company premises that the site is monitored by means of a video surveillance system. The data controller with regard to this video surveillance is eibe Produktion + Vertrieb GmbH & Co. KG (see § 1 (2)). Eight cameras are used to monitor the entrance gates to the company premises. Our IT department will be happy to provide you with technical information on request.

This video surveillance serves the following purposes:

  • To exercise our domiciliary rights
  • To protect property
  • For burglary and theft prevention

The legal basis for this is Art. 6 (1) f) GDPR as well as the company agreement on video surveillance dated June 18, 2018. In this context, our legitimate interests lie in protecting the property of eibe Produktion + Vertrieb GmbH & Co. KG. The video recordings are stored in accordance with the statutory regulations. For the rights of the data subjects, see § 2.

The contact details of our Data Protection Officer can be found in § 1 (2).


Privacy Policy last updated: August 2023

Privacy Notice for our Instagram page

Instagram is an online photo and video sharing service belonging to the Meta Group, formerly Facebook. eibe uses the technical platform and services of Facebook Ireland Ltd, 4 Grand Canal Square Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland.

We would like to indicate that you are fully accountable for your use of the Instagram page and its functions. This applies in particular to the use of interactive functions (e.g. commenting or rating).

1. Processing of personal data by Facebook/Meta

When you visit our Instagram page: https://www.instagram.com/eibe.deutschland/, Facebook collects, among other things, your IP address and other information that is present on your PC in the form of cookies. This information is used to provide eibe, as the operator of the Instagram pages, with anonymised statistical information about the use of the Instagram page.

Data concerning you collected within this context will be processed by Facebook Ltd. and may be transferred to countries outside the European Union. Facebook describes what information it receives and how it is used in its Data Use Policy. In this policy, you will also find information on how to contact Facebook as well as on setting options for advertisements. The Data Use Policy is available at: https://privacycenter.instagram.com/policy. You can find the full version of Instagram’s Terms of Use here: https://help.instagram.com/581066165581870/?helpref=hc_fnav

Facebook provides information on the use of cookies in the Instagram Cookies Policy: https://help.instagram.com/1896641480634370/?helpref=hc_fnav

We would like to point out that Facebook Ireland is able to use cookies to track your user behaviour (including across devices for registered users) on other websites outside of Instagram. This applies both to data subjects registered with Instagram and to data subjects who are not registered with the platform. 

Facebook states that it stores data until it is no longer required for providing the services or Facebook products or until the user's account is deleted, whichever comes first. This depends on the circumstances of the individual case, in particular the nature of the data, the reasons for its collection and processing and the relevant legal and operational requirements for storing it. For more information on the storage of data, please consult: 
https://privacycenter.instagram.com/policy

2. Instagram Page Insights 

By means of Page Insights, Facebook processes page visitors’ personal data for its own purposes. This processing takes place regardless of whether or not page visitors are logged into Facebook or Instagram and regardless of whether or not page visitors are members of the Facebook or Instagram network. Users who access the Instagram pages without being registered or logged in to Instagram also have the option of influencing the scope of data processing by means of a cookie banner that Facebook places on its pages. You can find more information about Facebook cookies by consulting: 
https://www.facebook.com/privacy/policies/cookies

Page insights involve aggregated, anonymised statistics. Page operators themselves only have access to the aggregated, anonymised page insights and do not have access to the personal data processed for this purpose. You can find more information about this here: 
https://www.facebook.com/help/instagram/788388387972460

3. Rights of the data subject

The Instagram page gives you the opportunity to react to our posts, comment on them and send us private messages. Please check carefully what personal data you share with us via our Instagram page.
