COOKIES
Our website uses cookies. Cookies do not harm your computer and do not contain viruses. Cookies help make our website more user-friendly, effective, and secure. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer and saved by your browser. Most of the cookies we use are so-called „session cookies.“ They are automatically deleted after your visit. Other cookies remain on your device until you delete them. These cookies allow us to recognize your browser the next time you visit. You can configure your browser to inform you when cookies are set and to allow cookies only in specific cases, to exclude the acceptance of cookies in certain cases or in general, and to enable the automatic deletion of cookies when the browser is closed. Disabling cookies may limit the functionality of this website. Cookies that are required for the electronic communication process or to provide certain functions that you request (e.g., shopping cart functionality) are stored based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing cookies to ensure the technically error-free and optimized provision of its services. If other cookies (e.g., cookies for analyzing your browsing behavior) are stored, they will be addressed separately in this privacy policy.
SERVER LOG FILES
The provider of these pages automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. These are:
Browser type and version
Operating system used
Referrer URL
Hostname of the accessing computer
Time of the server request
IP address
This data is not merged with other data sources. The basis for data processing is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, which allows the processing of data to fulfill a contract or pre-contractual measures.
CONTACT FORM
If you send us inquiries via the contact form, your details from the inquiry form, including the contact details you provide, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the inquiry and for follow-up questions. We do not share this data without your consent. The processing of the data entered into the contact form is based solely on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). You can revoke this consent at any time. An informal email to us is sufficient for this purpose. The legality of the data processing operations carried out up to the point of revocation remains unaffected by the revocation. The data you provide in the contact form will remain with us until you request deletion, revoke your consent for storage, or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g., after your inquiry has been processed). Mandatory statutory provisions – especially retention periods – remain unaffected.
- SUBSCRIPTION TO OUR NEWSLETTER
On the website of AICHI Sales Office, users are given the opportunity to subscribe to our company‘s newsletter. The specific personal data transmitted to the controller when subscribing to the newsletter depends on the input form used for this purpose. AICHI Sales Office regularly informs its customers and business partners about the company‘s offers through a newsletter. The newsletter can only be received by the data subject if (1) the person has a valid email address and (2) the person registers for the newsletter. For legal reasons, a confirmation email is sent to the email address entered by a data subject for the first time, using the double opt-in procedure. This confirmation email serves to verify whether the owner of the email address has authorized the receipt of the newsletter. When registering for the newsletter, we also store the IP address assigned by the Internet Service Provider (ISP) of the computer system used by the data subject at the time of registration, as well as the date and time of the registration. Collecting this data is necessary to trace any possible misuse of the email address at a later time and thus serves the legal protection of the controller. The personal data collected as part of a newsletter subscription is used exclusively for sending our newsletter. In addition, subscribers may be informed by email if this is necessary for the operation of the newsletter service or a related registration, such as in the case of changes to the newsletter offer or technical adjustments. No personal data collected as part of the newsletter service will be shared with third parties. The subscription to our newsletter can be canceled by the data subject at any time. The consent to the storage of personal data, which the data subject has given us for the purpose of sending the newsletter, can be revoked at any time. A link to withdraw consent is included in every newsletter. Additionally, it is also possible to unsubscribe directly on the controller‘s website or to notify the controller in another way.
NEWSLETTER-TRACKING
AICHI Sales Office newsletters contain so-called tracking pixels. A tracking pixel is a miniature graphic embedded in such emails sent in HTML format to allow log file recording and log file analysis. This allows for a statistical evaluation of the success or failure of online marketing campaigns. Based on the embedded tracking pixel, AICHI Sales Office can determine if and when an email was opened by a data subject and which links within the email were clicked. Personal data collected via the tracking pixels in the newsletters is stored and evaluated by the controller to optimize newsletter delivery and to better tailor the content of future newsletters to the interests of the data subject. This personal data is not shared with third parties. Data subjects can revoke the separate consent granted through the double opt-in procedure at any time. After revocation, the personal data will be deleted by the controller. Unsubscribing from the newsletter is automatically interpreted by AICHI Sales Office as a revocation.
GOOGLE ANALYTICS
This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc. („Google“). Google Analytics uses so-called „cookies,“ text files stored on your computer, that enable an analysis of your website usage. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is generally transmitted to and stored on a Google server in the USA. In the event that IP anonymization is activated on this website, your IP address will first be shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted 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 your use of the website, compile reports on website activity, and provide other services related to website and internet usage to the website operator. The IP address transmitted by your browser in the context of Google Analytics is not merged with other data held by Google. You can prevent the storage of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings in your browser software; however, we would like to point out that in this case, you may not be able to use all the functions of this website to their full extent. Additionally, you can prevent the collection of 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 plugin available at the following link: tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en

GOOGLE TAG MANAGER
This website uses Google Tag Manager. This service allows website tags to be managed through a single interface. The Google Tool Manager only implements tags. This means: No cookies are used, and no personal data is collected. The Google Tool Manager triggers other tags, which may collect data. However, Google Tag Manager does not access this data. If a deactivation has been performed at the domain or cookie level, it remains effective for all tracking tags that are implemented with Google Tag Manager.

This information is generally transmitted to and stored on a Google server in the USA. The provider of this site has no influence over this data transmission.
