Privacy Policy

When you use our website, you trust us with your information. This Privacy Policy is meant to help you understand what data we collect, why we collect it and what we do with it. This is important, not only to ensure the safety of your personal data, but also to ensure you that Lachenmeier is compliant with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) that will be enforced starting May 25th, 2018.

This Privacy Policy applies to the following domains:

https://lachenmeier.com || https://lachenmeier.de || https://lachenmeier.us || https://lachenmeier.fr || https://lachenmeier.es || http://lachenmeier.ru || https://br.lachenmeier.com || https://kb.lachenmeier.com

What is the General Data Protection Regulation?

In legal terms, the GDPR is a European Union law intended to strengthen and unify data protection rules and rights for the benefit of EU citizens. Put in other words, to give control of personal data back to the user.

The new rules apply to all organizations (of any size) that provide goods and services to the EU or that utilize tracking technologies (like cookies or tracking pixels) to monitor EU users’ behavior.

In most cases, your data collection will require valid consent following May 25 - not just going forward, but also from all your existing users. Under the GDPR, consent can't be implied or inferred from someone's actions. Instead, valid consent must be specific to the data being collected, by an affirmative action that is unambiguous.

1. Personal Information - What we collect and why

We offer certain site features, services, applications, and tools that are available only through the use of the following tracking technologies. You are always free to block, delete, or disable these technologies if your browser, installed application, or device so permits. However, if you decline cookies or other similar technologies, you may not be able to take advantage of certain site features, services, applications, or tools.

Generally, these technologies allow our sites, services, applications, and tools to store relevant information in your browser or device and later read that information in order to identify you to our servers or internal systems. Where applicable, we protect our cookies and other similar technologies to help ensure that only we and/or our authorized service providers can interpret them by assigning them a unique identifier that is designed for interpretation only by us.

This website collects and uses personal information for the following reasons:

1.1. Google Analytics

Like most websites, this site uses Google Analytics (GA) to track user interaction. We use this data to determine the number of people using our site, to better understand how they find and use our web pages and to see their journey through the website.

Although GA records data such as your geographical location, device, internet browser and operating system, none of this information personally identifies you to us. GA also records your computer’s IP address which could be used to personally identify you but Google do not grant us access to this. We consider Google to be a third party data processor (see section 2 below).

GA makes use of cookies, details of which can be found on Google's developer guides. FYI our website uses the analytics.js implementation of GA.

Disabling cookies on your internet browser will stop GA from tracking any part of your visit to pages within this website.

1.2. Google Tag Manager

We are constantly trying to improve the customer experience on our website by providing visitors with more personalized and targeted campaigns and offerings. To do so, we use Google Tag Manager (GTM).

GTM is a little snippet of code that helps us track user behavior across our sites and then pushes the data to our Google Analytics account. Then, all the data is perfectly organized and ready for us to assess and review for potential site improvements and remarketing campaigns.

We consider Google to be a third party data processor (see section 2 below).

1.3. Contact and download forms

Should you choose to use a contact form or download gated content from our website, your information will be stored in our backend and collated into an email and sent to us over the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP).

The information contained in the email will be transferred onwards to our Microsoft CRM system. From there, the data will be attached to any existing account with a similar email or else be created as a new contact.

1.4. Email newsletter

If you choose to join our email newsletter, the email address that you submit to us will be forwarded to SendGrid who provide us with email marketing services. We consider SendGrid to be a third party data processor. In addition to SendGrid, your email will also be stored in our backend database and in our Microsoft CRM system.

Your email address will remain within our own - and in SendGrid's database for as long as we continue to use SendGrids’s services for email marketing or until you specifically request removal from the list (SendGrid, backend database, Microsoft CRM). You can do this by unsubscribing using the unsubscribe links contained in any email newsletters that we send you or by requesting removal via email. When requesting removal via email, please send your email to us using the email account that is subscribed to the mailing list.

While your email address remains within our own - and in the SendGrid database, you will receive periodic newsletter-style emails from us. Our newsletters will keep you posted on Lachenmeier’s latest product announcements, upcoming events and other relevant information.
