1. When you visit our website
In this section you will find information on data collection, data processing, data deletion, data security and the involvement of third-party providers in connection with your visit to our website www.nexnoa.com.
1.1 Server log files
Your browser automatically transmits access data (so-called “server log files”) to our servers each time you visit one of our websites. Such server log files contain the following information:
- the time of your visit,
- the page from which you visit us (referrer URL),
- the subpages visited,
- the names of requested files,
- Your IP address,
- data volume,
- the browser you are using and
- the requesting provider.
We require the aforementioned information to ensure system security and to compile usage statistics. Both purposes are in our overriding legitimate interest (Art. 6 I 1 f EU-GDPR). The respective data record will be deleted immediately after the respective purpose ceases to apply, but no later than 90 days after their collection.
1.2 Contact Form
Our website features a contact form. By sending a message over the contact form function, you provide us with all the data you have entered in the mandatory and non-mandatory fields and give your consent (Art. 6 I 1 a EU-GDPR) to our collecting and processing of such data. They will be processed exclusively for the purpose of handling your request and deleted if you withdraw your consent or if the enquiry is closed anyway, unless legal retention obligations require longer storage. Please note: By clicking on e-mail addresses provided on our websites, you will enter your e-mail software and transmit your message as a conventional e-mail to the address pre-filled in the recipient line. Please be informed that we have no influence on the data collection and data processing by your e-mail provider. If you would like to learn how we process the contents of messages submitted via the contact form, please continue reading at “When you contact us” section below.
1.3 Data Security
In order to protect your personal data to the greatest extent possible we use SSL encryption (https standard). This also applies to the transmission of data via the contact form. This type of encryption is a risk-appropriate and state-of-the-art technical and organizational security measure.
1.4 Cookies
You will learn on our use of cookies via the cookie banner on the website. You will be able to make your choice as to whether you would like to consent to the use of certain or all cookies and to revoke your consent.
Please note: If you access a third-party website via a link provided on our website, please inform yourself about the data collected by use of cookies on the respective page as other and / or additional cookies may be used there.
When you visit our website, we use a cookie to store language recognition information (“i18n_redirected”) which allows us to make our website available to you with your selected language settings (legal basis: § 25 Abs. 2 Nr. 2 TTDSG / German Telecommunications Telemedia Data Protection Act). The cookie stays in place for 12 months and is automatically deleted after this period.
If you wish to decline the use of cookies at all, you can block the use of cookies in your browser settings. Alternatively, visit the US site http://aboutads.info/choices/ or the EU site http://www.youronlinechoices.com/uk/your-ad-choices/ to change the use of cookies on your device. You will still be able to visit our website but may not be able to use it in the same way.
1.5 Consent Management Tool (“cookie banner”)
In order to manage the use of cookies and other tags by our website, we use the Consent Management Platform of CookiePro. With this tool, we can inform you when you visit our website which tools we use, which of your data is processed and for what purposes. We will ask you there for your consent to use these tools, unless they are absolutely necessary for the operation of our website, and can record and store your selection and any changes that may be made to it on an ongoing basis and, if necessary, transfer it on to our cooperation partners.
We have integrated the CookiePro tool via the Google Tag Manager, a kind of organizational tool provided by Google Ireland Ltd, Dublin, which enables us, as the website operator, to organize the tools on our site and control their use. In particular, this enables us to ensure that certain tools are only activated if, after and as long as you have given your consent (and not revoked it).
Your selection on the banner, i.e. whether and if so to what extent you agree to the use of further tools or that you do not consent to this, is recorded and stored in a database for verification purposes and stored in local storage on the device used by you, in order to ensure this during your session and also thereafter during further visits to our website. For this purpose, we collect and process the following information via CookiePro in addition to your consent decision (yes / no):
- Device Information
- Browser Information
- Anonymized IP address
- Opt-in and opt-out data
- Date and time of the visits
For our verification purposes, this data is processed – in addition to being stored in the local storage of your terminal – in a database with location in the EU.
The use of this Consent Management Platform including the Google Tag Manager is necessary for us to comply with our legal obligations, to inform you about the use of the tools and to ask for your consent for all those tools that are not absolutely necessary, to collect, prove, keep and, if necessary, transfer the data to third parties. This is imperative in view of the legal requirements to be observed by us under data protection and ePrivacy law (§ 25 Abs. 2 Nr. 2 TTDSG). We will retain your decisions for as long as they are valid and for more than three years thereafter, to be able to prove whether you have consented and/or revoked your consent. This is in our legitimate interest (legal basis: Art. 6 (1) f EU-GDPR).
You can change your choice of which tools are used on our website at any time. To do so, click the button below to open the Consent Management Platform again and change your settings, e.g. to give further consent or to revoke consent you have given. These changes will be stored again in local storage on your device and will be recorded by us for verification purposes. Once you have agreed to the setting of cookies, they will not be deleted even if you revoke them. Instead, the execution of the underlying script is prevented, so we start one step ahead with the CookiePro-solution. This prevents the cookies from remaining active. They then no longer record any information and also no longer allow access to information from your device.
Since we cannot operate the site in a legally compliant manner without the use of CookiePro and Tag Manager, it is no longer possible to visit our site in the event of an objection. Both even if you do not give any consent or revoke all consent, as we necessarily rely on these tools to control the use of tools through our website, including the use of the Consent Management Platform. However, you can change your preferences directly with Google at: http://www.google.com/settings… or alternatively, you can disable the use of cookies for interest-based advertising through the Ad Network Initiative by following the instructions at https://thenai.org/opt-out/. However, you may then no longer be able to use our website in the same way.
You can find further information about data processing by CookiePro here: https://www.onetrust.com/privacy/
For more information about the data processing by Google, whose tag manager we use, please see here about the tag manager: https://www.google.com/intl/de… and here about data protection: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en

Even if you have clicked “Agree”, you may revoke your consent at any time using the link below.
1.6.1 IP anonymisation
We have activated the IP anonymisation function on this website. This means your IP address will be shortened by Google within EU member states, or other states party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area, before being transferred to the USA. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transferred to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. Google uses this information on behalf of the operator of this website to evaluate your use of the website, compile web activity reports and deliver other services pertaining to website and Internet use in relation to the website operator. The IP address transmitted from your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be matched with other Google data.
1.6.2 Browser plug-in

This recognition is performed using cookies to optimise the content of our website. User and event-level data stored at Google which is linked to cookies, user recognition (e.g. user ID) or ad IDs (e.g. DoubleClick cookies, Android ad ID) will be anonymised or deleted after 14 months. You can find details on this at the following link: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/7667196?hl=en
