4. Data collection on our website

Cookies

In some instances, this website uses cookies. Cookies do not harm your computer and do not contain viruses. Cookies serve to make our website more user-friendly, effective and secure. Cookies are small text files which are placed on your computer and stored by your browser.

Most of the cookies we use are "session cookies". These are deleted automatically at the end of your visit. Other cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them. These cookies enable us to recognise your browser the next time you visit us.

You can set your web browser to inform you about the use of cookies and only allow cookies on a case-by-case basis, to prevent cookies in particular cases or in general, and to automatically delete cookies when closing the web browser. Disabling cookies may restrict the functionality of this website.

Cookies that are required to carry out the electronic communication process or to provide certain functions that you wish to use (e.g. shopping cart function) are stored on the basis of Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing cookies, in order to optimise this website and ensure it can be reliably provided. In so far as other cookies (e.g. cookies for analysing your surfing behaviour) are stored, these are covered separately in this privacy notice.

Server log files

The website provider automatically collects and stores information in server log files, which your browser transmits to us automatically. These are:

This data is not merged with data from any other data sources.

The lawful basis for processing the data is Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. Our legitimate interest stems from the purpose for data collection, i.e. system security and stability.

Contact form

If you send us enquiries via our contact form, your details from the enquiry are stored by us, including the contact details provided by you, for the purpose of processing your enquiry and in the case of follow-up questions. We will not share this data without your consent.

The data entered on the contact form are therefore processed exclusively on the basis of your consent (Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR). You can revoke this consent at any time. An informal message to us by email is sufficient. The legality of data processing operations which occurred prior to consent being revoked remains unaffected by the revocation.

The data entered by you on the contact form will remain with us until you ask us to delete it, you revoke your consent to us storing it or the purpose for the data being stored no longer exists (e.g. after your request has been processed). Mandatory statutory provisions – in particular retention periods – remain unaffected.

Processing of data (customer and contract data)

We collect, process and use personal data only to the extent necessary for the justification, structural formulation or amendment of the legal relationship (inventory data). This occurs on the basis of Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR, which allows data to be processed for the performance of a contract or pre-contractual measures. We collect, process and use personal data concerning the use of our websites (usage data) only in so far as is required to enable the user to use the service or be charged for it.

The collected customer data is deleted upon completion of the order or termination of the business relationship. Statutory retention periods remain unaffected.

Data transmission upon the conclusion of a contract for online shops, retailers and the shipment of goods

We transmit personal data to third parties only if this is necessary within the scope of executing the contract, i.e. to the company entrusted with shipping the goods or the credit institution commissioned with processing the payment. Further transmission of data only occurs if you have expressly consented to this transmission. Your data is not disclosed to any third parties, such as for advertising purposes, without your express consent.

The basis for data processing is Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR, which allows data to be processed for the performance of a contract or pre-contractual measures.

Cookie Consent Tool from Usercentrics

The recipient of your data within the meaning of Art. 13 (1) (e) GDPR is Usercentrics GmbH. As part of order processing, Oriental Motor transmits personal data (consent data) to Usercentrics GmbH, Sendlingerstr. 7, 80331 Munich, Germany, as processor. Consent data means the following data

Usercentrics stores a cookie in your browser in order to be able to assign the consents given or their revocation to you. The data collected in this way is stored until you ask us to delete it, delete the Usercentrics cookie yourself or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies. Mandatory statutory retention obligations remain unaffected.

The data is processed for the purpose of compliance with legal obligations (obligation to provide evidence pursuant to Art. 7 para. 1 GDPR) and the associated documentation of consent and thus on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c) GDPR. Local storage is used to store the data. The consent data is stored for 1 year. The data is stored in the European Union. Further information on the data collected and contact options can be found at https://usercentrics.com/privacy-policy/.

We have concluded an order processing contract with Usercentrics, in which we oblige Usercentrics to protect our customers' data and not to pass it on to third parties.

5. Analysis tools and advertising

Google Analytics

This website uses functions of the web analysis service, Google Analytics. The provider is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.

Google Analytics uses cookies. These are text files which are stored on your computer and enable your use of the website to be analysed. The information regarding your use of this website, which is generated using the cookie, are usually transferred to a Google server in USA and stored there.

Google Analytics cookies are stored on the basis of Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in analysing user behaviour in order to optimise both its website and its advertising.

IP anonymisation

We have activated the IP anonymisation function on this website. As a result, your IP address will be truncated by Google within the Member States of the European Union or in other states which are parties to the Agreement on the European Economic Area prior to transmission to the USA. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and then truncated. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports about the website activities and to provide other services relating to the use of the website and the services associated with the use of the website to the website operator. The IP address provided by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with any other data from Google..

Browser Plugin

You can prevent cookies from being stored by modifying the settings in your browser software; however, please be aware that if you do this you may not be able to use all the features of this website to the fullest extent possible. In addition, you may prevent Google from collecting and processing the data generated by the cookie relating to your use of the website (incl. your IP address) by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en-GB.

More information on how data is handled by Google Analytics can be found in Google's privacy notice: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245?hl=en.

Order data processing

We have concluded an order data processing contract and fully implement the strict requirements of the German data protection authorities when using Google Analytics.

Demographic characteristics in Google Analytics

This website uses the "demographic characteristics" function of Google Analytics. This allows reports to be generated containing statements regarding the age, gender and interests of site users. These data are drawn from interest-related advertising by Google as well as user data from third-party providers. These data cannot be traced back to any specific person. You may disable this function at any time via the ad settings in your Google account or generally prohibit the collection of your data by Google Analytics as outlined under "Objection to data collection".

Google AdWords and Google Conversion Tracking

This website uses Google AdWords. AdWords is an online advertising program from Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, United States ("Google").

We use Conversion Tracking as part of Google AdWords. When you click on an ad provided by Google, a cookie is placed for Conversion Tracking. Cookies are small text files that the web browser stores on the user's computer. These cookies expire after 30 days and are not used to personally identify the user. If the user visits certain pages of this website and the cookie has not yet expired, Google and we can recognise that the user has clicked on the ad and has been redirected to this website.

Each Google AdWords client receives a different cookie. The cookies cannot be tracked from the websites of AdWords clients. The information collected using the conversion cookies serves to generate conversion statistics for AdWords clients who have opted for Conversion Tracking. The clients are told how many users have clicked on their ad and been redirected to a website with a Conversion Tracking tag. However, they do not receive any information which can be used to identify users. If you would prefer not to participate in tracking, you can opt out of this by simply disabling the Google Conversion Tracking cookie via the user settings in your web browser. You will not be included in the Conversion Tracking statistics.

Conversion cookies are stored on the basis of Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in analysing user behaviour in order to optimise both its website and its advertising.

More information on Google AdWords and Google Conversion Tracking can be found in Google's privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en&gl=en.

You can set your web browser to inform you about the use of cookies and only allow cookies on a case-by-case basis, to prevent cookies in particular cases or in general, and to automatically delete cookies when closing the web browser. Disabling cookies may restrict the functionality of this website.

Google Display & Video 360 (previously Doubleclick Bid Manager)

On this website we use the tool Display & Video 360 from Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, which collects data for analysis, marketing and optimization purposes, and through this helps us to improve our marketing measures and our website. The data we collect are used by Display & Video 360 to link advertising contacts and clicks on advertisements with any use of our website linked to this. This enables us to determine whether Internet users who have seen our adverts visit our website or what products they are interested in. This helps us to use our advertising budget more efficiently. We can also use the collected data for sending advertising based on your interests (for instance, products you have looked at).

Pseudonymous online identification numbers (for instance cookie IDs or IP addresses) are used for the data collection. In this process no unambiguous user-related data, such as name or address, are stored. All the IDs we use only enable the recognition of your terminal device and your Internet browser. Without your separate explicit approval, we do not use the collected data to personally identify you as a user of our website.

We hereby notify you that in the case of users who have registered with Google, Google possibly links your visit to this website with the registered data. You can find out what exactly Google does with your data on Google’s data protection (privacy policy) web pages, if you click the following link: https://privacy.google.de/intl/de/take-control.html?categories_activeEl=sign-in/

At the following link you will find an explanation on how you can deactivate Google on your computer or your mobile terminal device: https://support.google.com/ads/answer/7395996/

Campaign Manager (previously DoubleClick by Google)

This website also uses the Google online marketing tool Campaign Manager. Campaign Manager uses cookies in order to place adverts which are relevant for the user, to improve the reports for campaign performance or to prevent a user seeing the same adverts several times. Via a cookie ID Google records which adverts are placed in which browser, and can hence prevent them being shown several times. Furthermore, with the aid of cookie IDs Campaign Manager can record so-called conversions, which are related to the ad requests. For instance, this is the case if a user sees a Campaign Manager advertisement and later accesses the website of the advertiser with the same browser and buys something there. According to Google, Campaign Manager cookies do not contain any personal information.

Because of the marketing tools that are used, your browser automatically establishes a link with Google’s server. We have no influence on the scope and further use of the data which are collected by Google because of the use of this tool, and consequently hereby notify you according to the information we have regarding this: Through the integration of Campaign Manager, Google receives the information that you have called up the respective part of our website or have clicked on an advert we have placed. Insofar as you are registered with a Google service, Google can assign your visit to your account. Even if you are not registered with Google or have not logged in, it is possible that the provider may find out your IP address and save it.

Furthermore, the Campaign Manager (DoubleClick Floodlight) cookies enable us to understand whether you perform specific actions on our website, after you have called up our display/video adverts on Google or on another platform via Campaign Manager or have clicked on this (conversion tracking). Campaign Manager uses this cookie to understand the content which you have interacted with on our website, in order to be subsequently able to send targeted advertising.

You can prevent participation in this tracking process: a) through an appropriate setting of your browser software, in particular the suppression of cookies means that you will not receive any cookies from third-party vendors; b) by deactivating cookies for conversion tracking, by setting your browser to block cookies from the domain www.googleadservices.com, https://www.google.de/settings/ads, although this setting is deleted if you delete your cookies; c) by deactivating interest-related adverts of the vendors who are part of the self-regulating campaign “About Ads” via the link http://www.aboutads.info/choices, although this setting is deleted if you delete your cookies; d) through permanently deactivating in your browsers Firefox, Internet Explorer or Google Chrome at the link http://www.google.com/settings/ads/plugin, e) using the appropriate cookies settings. We hereby inform you that in this case you may not be able to fully use all functions of this offer.

You can also prevent Google collecting the data generated by the cookies about your use of the website and the processing of this data by Google through downloading the browser plugin available at https://support.google.com/adsense/answer/142293?hl=de under “Display settings”, “Extension for Campaign Manager deactivation” and installing it.

Further information on Campaign Manager is available at https://www.google.de/doubleclick as well as data processing in general at Google: https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy. Alternatively you can visit the website of Network Advertising Initiative (NAI) at http://www.networkadvertising.org.

Data analysis using Rapidmail

For the purpose of analysis, emails sent with Rapidmail contain a "tracking pixel", which connects to the Rapidmail servers when the email is opened. This determines whether a newsletter message has been opened.

Furthermore, we can use Rapidmail to determine which links, if any, in the newsletter message have been clicked. All links in the email are tracking links, which allow your clicks to be counted.
