Privacy Policy

We process your personal data confidentially and in accordance with applicable data protection laws and this Privacy Policy.
Please note that data transmission over the Internet (e.g., when communicating via email) may be subject to security vulnerabilities.
It is not possible to completely protect data from access by third parties.

The responsible entity

The entity responsible under data protection laws is:

Quantec Signals GmbH
Rieselwiese 1
38690 Goslar
E-Mail: info@quantec-signals.de

Time of storage

Unless a more specific retention period is stated in this Privacy Policy, we retain personal data for as long as necessary to fulfill the relevant purposes or as required by applicable legal retention obligations.
We delete data processed on the basis of consent once consent is withdrawn, provided that no other legal retention obligations apply.

Withdrawal of your consent to data processing

Many data processing operations are only possible with your explicit consent. You may revoke any consent you have already given at any time, effective for the future.
The lawfulness of the processing carried out prior to the revocation remains unaffected.

Right to object under Article 21 of the GDPR

You have the right to object at any time, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to the processing of your personal data
carried out on the basis of article 6(1)(e) or (f) of the GDPR. This also applies to profiling based on these provisions.

If your personal data is processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of your data for such marketing purposes.
This also applies to profiling, insofar as it is related to such direct marketing.

Right to file a complaint with the competent supervisory authority

In the event of a violation of the GDPR, you have the right to submit a complaint to a supervisory authority in the jurisdiction of your habitual residence, your place of work, or the location of the alleged violation.

Right to data transferability

You have the right to receive data that we process automatically based on your consent or to fulfill a contract, either directly or through a third party, in a commonly used, machine-readable format.
If you request that the data be transferred directly to another controller, this will only be done to the extent that it is technically feasible.

Automated decision-making / Profiling

No automated decision-making, including profiling, takes place.

SSL or TLS encryption

This website uses SSL or TLS encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential information, such as inquiries you send to us as the website operator. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the browser’s address bar changes from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock icon in your browser’s address bar.

Information, deletion, and correction

In accordance with applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to receive, free of charge, information about your stored personal data,
its source and recipients, as well as the purpose of the data processing, and, where applicable, the right to have this data corrected or deleted.
You may contact us at any time regarding this matter or any other questions you may have about personal data.

Right to restriction of processing

You have the right to request that the processing of your personal data be restricted if:

  • If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data and we are verifying its accuracy,
  • the processing is illegitimate and you request restriction instead of erasure,
  • we no longer need the data, but you need it to assert, exercise, or defend legal claims,
  • You have submitted an objection under article 21(1) of the GDPR, and it has not yet been determined whose interests prevail.

Objection to promotional emails

We hereby object to the use of the contact information provided in the legal notice for the purpose of sending unsolicited advertising and informational materials.
The operators of this website expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of the unsolicited transmission of advertising information (e.g., spam emails).

Cookies & Consent-Management (Borlabs Cookie)

Our website uses cookies. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device and can be read by your browser.

We use the consent management tool Borlabs Cookie. Borlabs Cookie stores your consent or your revocation of consent.
Before setting cookies that are not technically necessary, we obtain your consent via Borlabs Cookie.

We use the following categories of cookies:

  • Technically necessary cookies (e.g., for displaying the website, storing your consent decision).
    Processing based on Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR (legitimate interest) or Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR (performance of a contract), as applicable.
  • Analytics, statistics, and marketing cookies (e.g., Google Analytics 4, OpenStreetMap integration, jQuery CDN).
    Processing is based strictly on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR).

You can change your settings at any time by clicking the “Cookie Settings” link at the bottom of the website.

Server log files

The website provider automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us.
These include:

  • Browser type and browser version,
  • operating system used,
  • Referrer URL,
  • Hostname of the connecting computer,
  • Time of the server request,
  • IP address.

This data is not combined with any other data sources.
The legal basis for this is article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR (legitimate interest in the technically accurate presentation and optimization of our website).

Contact form

If you submit an inquiry to us via the contact form, we will store the information you provide—including the contact details you enter there—for the purpose of processing your inquiry
and in case we have any follow-up questions. We will not share this information without your consent.

This data is processed on the basis of article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR (contract or pre-contractual measures) or on the basis of article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR (legitimate interest in the effective handling of your inquiry).
If we obtain your consent, the processing is additionally based on article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR.

will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of handling your request. We will not share this data without your consent.

The processing of this data is based on article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR (provided the request is related to the performance of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures)
and, in all other cases, on article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR (legitimate interest in the effective handling of requests addressed to us).
If we obtain your consent, processing is based on article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR.

5. Plugins and Tools

5.1 Google Tag Manager

We use Google Tag Manager, a service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.
Google Tag Manager is used to manage website tags via a user interface.

Google Tag Manager itself does not create user profiles, store cookies, or perform its own analysis.
It simply triggers other tags, which may in turn collect data.
Google Tag Manager does not access this data.

The use of Google Tag Manager is based on article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR (legitimate interest in the efficient management of our website tags).

5.2 Google Analytics 4 (GA4) with Consent Mode v2

This website uses features of Google Analytics 4, a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited, provided that you have given your consent.

We use Google Consent Mode v2. This means:

  • Before you give your consent, only highly limited, anonymized signals (“pings”) are transmitted, without any cookies being set for analytical or advertising purposes.
  • Cookies will be set for analytical purposes and personal data (e.g., short IP addresses, device IDs) will be processed only after you have given your consent.

The data collected via Google Analytics is generally transferred to Google’s servers in the United States and stored there.
Google bases this data transfer on the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs).

Legal basis: Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR (consent).

You can withdraw your consent at any time with future effect via the “Cookie Settings” on our website.

This website uses fonts (“Google Fonts”) that are integrated locally via features of the Avada theme.

To optimize loading times, we use JavaScript libraries such as jQuery and jQueryUI via Content Delivery Networks (CDNs).
