3. Google Analytics e-commerce & Tag Manager

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc. (“Google”). Google Analytics uses so-called “cookies,” which are text files stored on your computer that enable an analysis of your use of the website. The information generated by the cookie regarding your use of this website is generally transmitted to and stored on a Google server in the United States. However, if IP anonymization is enabled on this website, your IP address will be truncated by Google beforehand within member states of the European Union or in other signatory states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the United States and truncated there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity, and to provide other services related to website and internet usage to the website operator. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics is not combined with other data held by Google. You can prevent the storage of cookies by adjusting your browser settings accordingly; However, please note that in this case, you may not be able to use all features of this website to their full extent. You can also prevent Google from collecting the data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address), as well as from processing this data, by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de This allows you to prevent data collection by Google Analytics.

This website uses the “E-commerce Tracking” feature of Google Analytics. With the help of E-commerce Measurement, the website operator can analyze the purchasing behavior of website visitors to improve its online marketing campaigns. This involves collecting information such as orders placed, average order values, and the time from viewing a product to purchasing it. Google may aggregate this data under a transaction ID that is assigned to the respective user or their device.

_ga: This cookie is used by Google Analytics 4 (GA4) to distinguish users and store a unique client ID (Client Identifier). The client ID is randomly generated and enables interactions to be attributed to a browser across multiple sessions. Google Analytics 4 uses this identifier to analyze website usage and generate statistical reports. The cookie does not contain any directly personally identifiable information.

We use Google Tag Manager. The provider is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. Google Tag Manager is a tool that allows us to integrate tracking or analytics tools and other technologies into our website. Google Tag Manager itself does not create user profiles, store cookies, or perform any independent analyses. It is used solely to manage and deploy the tools integrated through it. However, Google Tag Manager records your IP address, which may also be transferred to Google’s parent company in the United States. The use of Google Tag Manager is based on Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the quick and straightforward integration and management of various tools on its website. If consent has been obtained, processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR and Section 25(1) of the TDDDG, insofar as the consent covers the storage of cookies or access to information on the user’s device (e.g., device fingerprinting) within the meaning of the TDDDG. Consent may be revoked at any time.

4. Collection, Processing, and Use of Personal Data

Personal data is information related to your identity. This includes information such as your name, address, mailing address, phone number, and email address. We use the information you provide solely to process your inquiry.

5. Subscribe to our newsletters

Our website offers users the opportunity to subscribe to our company’s newsletter. By subscribing to the newsletter, you consent to the storage, processing, and use of your personal data (name, address, and email address) by Veranstaltungs- und Kongress GmbH Rosenheim and Positive Group Deutschland GmbH for promotional purposes (electronic distribution) related to the Lokschuppen Exhibition Center. The personal data collected as part of the newsletter registration process will be used exclusively for sending our newsletter. Furthermore, newsletter subscribers may be notified by email if this is necessary for the operation of the newsletter service or for related registration purposes, such as in the event of changes to the newsletter content or modifications to the technical infrastructure. You will receive the newsletter you have subscribed to several times a year. Your data will not be shared with third parties for advertising purposes. However, your data will be stored and processed in the following programs/locations and shared with the following third-party companies for processing:
• Server of the Veranstaltungs- und Kongress GmbH / hosted by IT Rosenheim
• MS Office 365-Apps
• Positive Group Deutschland GmbH, Wentzingerstr. 21, 79106 Freiburg i.Br., Deutschland (rapidmail)

In general, a data subject can only receive our company’s newsletter if (1) the data subject has a valid email address and (2) the data subject registers to receive the newsletter. For legal reasons, a confirmation email is sent to the email address provided by a data subject when first registering for the newsletter, using the double-opt-in procedure. This confirmation email serves to verify that the owner of the email address, as the data subject, has authorized receipt of the newsletter. If the link is not confirmed within 14 days, the relevant data will be deleted after this period expires. When you subscribe to the newsletter, we also store the IP address assigned by the Internet service provider (ISP) to the computer system used by the data subject at the time of registration, as well as the date and time of registration. The collection of this data is necessary to be able to trace any (potential) misuse of a data subject’s email address at a later date and therefore serves to provide legal protection for the data controller. The consent to the storage of personal data that the data subject has granted us for the purpose of sending the newsletter may be revoked at any time. A link for revoking consent is included in every newsletter. Furthermore, you may unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time by sending an email to vkr@vkr-rosenheim.de, specifying the registered email address.

6. SSL Encryption

To protect your personal data, we use SSL encryption on our websites. Your data is encrypted during transmission, and all information subject to data protection regulations is stored in encrypted form in a secure database.

7. Server Log File

The website provider automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. These log files contain the IP address of the device you use to access the website or a service, the type of browser you are using, the webpage you visited previously, your system configuration, and the date and time. Your IP address is stored for a maximum of 7 days when you visit our website for the purpose of detecting and defending against attacks. The IP address may constitute personal data because, under certain circumstances, it is possible to determine the identity of the owner of the Internet connection being used by obtaining information from the respective Internet service provider. We analyze the IP address only in the event of attacks on our internet infrastructure. In this case, we have a legitimate interest within the meaning of Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR in processing the IP address. This legitimate interest arises from the need to defend against the attack on our internet infrastructure, to determine the origin of the attack in order to take criminal and civil legal action against the responsible person, and to effectively prevent further attacks.

8. Anonymized analyses of website visits

When you visit our website, our web servers automatically record the IP address of your Internet service provider, the page you visit on our site, and the date and duration of your visit. This data is analyzed exclusively for statistical purposes. It is not disclosed to third parties, not even in part. The data is used to track visitor preferences and optimize the website accordingly. This data is not analyzed on an individual basis.
