Framo Morat GmbH & Co. KG takes the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data as confidential and in accordance with the statutory data protection regulations and this privacy policy. If you use this website, various pieces of personal data will be collected. Personal information is any data with which you could be personally identified. This privacy policy explains what information we collect and what we use it for. It also explains how and for what purpose this happens.
1 SSL or TLS encryption
This site uses SSL or TLS encryption for security reasons and for the protection of the transmission of confidential content, such as the inquiries you send to us as the site operator. You can recognize an encrypted connection in your browser’s address line when it changes from “http://” to “https://” and the lock icon is displayed in your browser’s address bar.
If SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transfer to us cannot be read by third parties.
2 Recording and processing of data in connection with access over the Internet
The provider of this website automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files automatically sent by your browser. These are:
• IP address of the requesting processor
• Date and time of access
• Name and URL of the downloaded file
• Volume of data transmitted
• Indication whether download was successful
• Data identifying the browser software and operating system
• Web site from which our site was accessed
• Name of your Internet service provider
These data will not be combined with data from other sources.
The basis for data processing is Art. 6 (1) (f) DSGVO, which allows the processing of data to fulfill a contract or for measures preliminary to a contract.
3 Cookies
Some of our web pages use cookies. Cookies do not harm your computer and do not contain any viruses. Cookies help make our website more user-friendly, efficient, 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 in your device’s memory until you delete them. These cookies make it possible to recognize your browser when you next visit the site.
You can configure your browser to inform you about the use of cookies so that you can decide on a case-by-case basis whether to accept or reject a cookie. Alternatively, your browser can be configured to automatically accept cookies under certain conditions or to always reject them, or to automatically delete cookies when closing your browser. Disabling cookies may limit the functionality of this website.
Cookies which are necessary to allow electronic communications or to provide certain functions you wish to use (such as the shopping cart) are stored pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (f) DSGVO. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the storage of cookies to ensure an optimized service provided free of technical errors. If other cookies (such as those used to analyze your surfing behavior) are also stored, they will be treated separately in this privacy policy.
4 Analysis tools and Advertising
4.1 Google Analytics
This website uses functions of the web analytics service Google Analytics, provided by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.
Google Analytics uses “cookies.” These are text files that are stored on your computer and enable analysis of your use of 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.
The storage of Google Analytics cookies is made on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (f) DSGVO. The website owner has a legitimate interest in the analysis of user behavior in order to optimize both its website and its advertising.
IP anonymization
We have activated the IP anonymization on this website. This means that your IP address is being truncated within Member States of the European Union or other parties to the Agree-ment on the European Economic Area prior to transmission to the United States. Only in ex-ceptional cases the full IP address is transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, compiling reports on website activity and providing other website and internet related services to the website operator. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics, will not be merged with other Google data.
Browser plugin
You may refuse the use of cookies by adjusting your browser software; however, we point out that, in this case, you may not be able to use all features of this site to their full extend. You can also prevent the capture of data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (incl. Your IP address) to Google and the processing of these data by Google, by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available at the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de
Opposition to data collection
You can prevent the collection of your data by Google Analytics by clicking on the link below. An opt-out cookie will be set, that prevents the recording of your data on subsequent visits to this site: Disable Google Analytics.
More information on using user data to Google Analytics, please see the privacy policy of Google: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245?hl=de
Order processing
We have concluded a contract with Google for commissioned data processing and completely implement the strict requirements of the German data protection authorities in the use of Google Analytics.
4.2 Google Analytics Remarketing
Our websites use the features of Google Analytics Remarketing combined with the cross-device capabilities of Google AdWords and DoubleClick. This service is provided by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheater Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.
This feature makes it possible to link target audiences for promotional marketing created with Google Analytics Remarketing to the cross-device capabilities of Google AdWords and Google DoubleClick. This allows advertising to be displayed according to your personal inter-ests, based on your previous usage and surfing behavior on one device (e.g. your mobile phone), also on other devices (such as a tablet or computer).
Once you have given your consent, Google will associate your web and app browsing history with your Google Account for this purpose. That way, any device that signs in to your Google Account can use the same personalized promotional messaging.
To support this feature, Google Analytics collects Google-authenticated IDs of users that are temporarily linked to our Google Analytics data to define and create audiences for cross-device ad promotion.
You can permanently opt out of cross-device remarketing/targeting by turning off personal-ized advertising in your Google Account; follow this link: https://www.google.com/settings/ads/onweb/
The aggregation of the data collected in your Google Account data is based solely on your consent, which you may give or withdraw from Google per Art. 6 (1) (a) DSGVO. For data collection operations not merged into your Google Account (for example, because you do not have a Google Account or have objected to the merge), the collection of data is based on Art. 6 (1) (f) DSGVO. The website operator has a legitimate interest in analyzing anonymous user behavior for promotional purposes.

4.3 Google AdWords and Google Conversion-Tracking
This website uses the online advertising program “Google AdWords”, and, as part of Google AdWords, conversion tracking provided by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Moun-tain View, CA 94043, USA (“Google”).
The cookie for conversion tracking is set if a user clicks on an Adwords ad placed by Google. Cookies are small text files, which are stored on your computer system. These cookies lose their validity after 30 days as a rule and are not used for personal identification. If the user visits particular pages on this website and the cookie has not yet expired, we and Google can tell that the user has clicked on the ad and was directed to this page.
Every Google AdWords customer is given a different cookie. Cookies can therefore not be tracked through the websites of AdWords customers. The information collected with the aid of conversion cookies is used to create conversion statistics for AdWords customers who have opted for conversion tracking. The customers find out the total number of users who have clicked on their ad and were directed to a page with a conversion tracking tag. They do not receive any information, however, from which users can be personally identified. If you do not want to participate in tracking, you can block this usage by disabling the Google conver-sion tracking cookie on your Internet browser under user settings. In this case you will not be included in the conversion tracking statistics.
The storage of “Conversion-Cookies” is based on Art. 6 (1) (f) DSGVO. The website operator has a legitimate interest in analyzing user behavior in order to optimize both its website and its advertising.
You will find further information about Google AdWords and Google Conversion-Tracking in the Google data protection provisions under the following web address: https://www.google.de/policies/privacy/
You can configure your browser to inform you about the use of cookies so that you can decide on a case-by-case basis whether to accept or reject a cookie. Alternatively, your browser can be configured to automatically accept cookies under certain conditions or to always reject them, or to automatically delete cookies when closing your browser. Disabling cookies may limit the functionality of this website.
