When you visit our website at www.sukano.com, the browser used on your device automatically sends information to the server of our website. This information is then saved temporarily in a so-called log file. The following information is recorded without any action being taken by you and saved until automatic erasure:
The aforementioned data is processed by us for the following purposes:
Under no circumstances do we use the collected data for the purpose of drawing conclusions about your person. Furthermore, we also use cookies (see Section 5 below) and analytics services (see Section 6 below) when you visit our website.
b) Signing up for our Newsletter
If you have explicitly given your consent by placing an order, we will send you our newsletter on a regular basis. To receive the newsletter, you only need to provide your email address and first and last name. It is possible to unsubscribe at any time, for example by clicking a link at the end of each newsletter. Alternatively, you can send your request to unsubscribe by email to media@sukano.com at any time.
Our website uses MailChimp for sending newsletters. The provider is Rocket Science Group LLC, 675 Ponce De Leon Ave NE, Suite 5000, Atlanta, GA 30308, USA. MailChimp is a service that is used to organize and analyze sending newsletters, among others. The data you enter to receive the newsletter (e.g. email address) is saved on MailChimp servers in the USA.
MailChimp has certification according to the “Swiss-US-Privacy Shield” and according to the “EU-US-Privacy Shield.” The “Privacy Shield” is an agreement between Switzerland, the European Union (EU) and the United States of America to ensure compliance with Swiss and European data protection standards in the USA.
MailChimp lets us analyze our newsletter campaigns. If you open an email sent with MailChimp, a file contained in the email (a so-called web beacon) connects with the MailChimp servers in the USA. This makes it possible to determine whether a newsletter email is opened and which links were clicked. Furthermore, technical information is recorded (e.g. time of retrieval, IP address, browser type and operating system). This information cannot be assigned to the respective recipient of the newsletter. It is intended solely for the statistical analysis of newsletter campaigns. The results of these analyses can be used to better adjust future newsletters to the interests of the recipients.
If you do not want any analysis by MailChimp, you must unsubscribe from the newsletter. The lawfulness of the already completed data processing procedures shall remain unaffected by the decision to unsubscribe.
The data on you stored for the purpose of the newsletter subscription will be saved by us until you are removed from the newsletter and will be erased from both our servers and the servers of MailChimp after you unsubscribe from the newsletter. Data saved by us for other purposes shall remain unaffected hereby.
You will find more information in the MailChimp data protection provisions at: https://mailchimp.com/legal/privacy/ and https://mailchimp.com/legal/cookies/.
We have concluded a so-called “Data Processing Addendum” with MailChimp in which we obligate MailChimp to protect the data of our customers and not to share such data with third parties. This agreement can be viewed at the following link: https://mailchimp.com/legal/data-processing-addendum/.

For the purpose of need-based design and ongoing optimization of our website, we use Google Analytics, a web analysis service provided by Google Inc. (https://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy/), 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; hereinafter “Google”).
In this connection, pseudonymized use profiles are created and cookies (see Section 4) are used. The cookie-generated information on your use of this website, such as the following are transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there:
The information is used to analyze use of the website, to compile reports on website activities and to provide other services connected with website use and internet use for the purposes of market research and the need-based design of these website pages.

Under no circumstances will your IP address be combined with other Google data. The IP addresses are anonymized so that assignment is not possible (IP masking). You can prevent the installation of cookies by making adjustments to your browser software; however, we would like to remind you of the possibility that not all the functions of this website will be available in full in this case.
You can also prevent the recording of the data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) as well as the processing of this data by Google if you download and install a browser add-on.

To statistically record the use of our website, we also use Google Conversion Tracking for the purpose of optimizing our website for you. The provider is Google Inc. (https://about.google/intl/en/, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA). Google Adwords places a cookie (see Section 5) on your computer if you arrive on our website via a Google advertisement. This information is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. The operator of this website has no more influence on this transmission of data.
These cookies lose their validity after 30 days and are not intended for personal identification. If the user visits certain pages of the website of an Adwords customer and the cookie has not yet expired, Google and the customer can recognize that the user clicked on the advertisement and was forwarded to this page.
Every Adwords customer receives a different cookie. Cookies can be tracked not only via the websites of Adwords customers. The information obtained by using the conversion cookie is intended for generating conversion statistics for Adwords customers that have selected conversion tracking. The Adwords customers learn the total number of users that have clicked on the advertisement and were forwarded to a page with a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not receive any information that makes it possible to identify the user personally.
If you do not want to take part in the tracking process, you can also refuse the placement of a cookie required for this – for example, by setting your browser to generally deactivate the automatic placement of cookies. You can also deactivate cookies for conversion tracking by setting your browser so that cookies are blocked.

7. Social Media Plugins
On our website, we use social media plugins for the social networks LinkedIn, Xing and YouTube to increase awareness of our company. The responsibility for operation in conformity with data protection is ensured by the respective provider. These plugins are integrated through the so-called two-click method to ensure the best-possible protection for visitors to our website.
a) LinkedIn
We use components of the LinkedIn network on our website. LinkedIn is a service of LinkedIn Corporation, 2029 Stierlin Court, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. On each individual visit to our website with such a component, this component causes the browser used by you to download a certain representation of the LinkedIn component.
This process informs LinkedIn about the specific page of our website that you just visited. If you click on the LinkedIn “Recommend Button” while you are logged into your LinkedIn account, you can link the content of our pages to your LinkedIn profile. This allows LinkedIn to assign the visit to our website to your LinkedIn user account.
This information is usually transmitted to a LinkedIn server in the USA and stored there. We have neither influence on the data that LinkedIn has collected nor the scope of the data collected by LinkedIn. We also do not know about the content of the data transmitted to LinkedIn. You can find details on LinkedIn’s data collection and your rights and settings options in LinkedIn’s privacy policy. You will find this information at https://www.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy.
b) Xing
We use components of the XING.com network on our website. These components are a service provided by XING AG, Dammtorstrasse 29-32, 20354 Hamburg, Germany. On each individual visit to our website with such a component, this component causes the browser used by you to download a certain representation of the XING component.
According to our knowledge, XING does not save any personal data of the user when our website is visited. XING also does not save any IP addresses. Furthermore, there is no analysis of user behavior via the use of cookies in connection with the “XING share button.” You will find additional information in the data protection policy for the XING share button at: https://privacy.xing.com/en/privacy-policy.
c) YouTube
So-called social plugins (“Plugins”) of YouTube are integrated on our website. The operating company of YouTube is YouTube, LLC, 901 Cherry Ave., San Bruno, CA 94066, USA. YouTube, LLC is a subsidiary of Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA. YouTube is an internet video portal that allows video publishers to post video clips free of charge and other users to view, rate and comment on them, also free of charge. YouTube allows the publication of all kinds of videos, which is why complete film and TV shows, but also music videos, trailers and videos made by users themselves can be accessed via the internet portal.
When one of the individual pages of this website, which is operated by the controller and on which a YouTube component (YouTube video) has been integrated, is visited, the respective YouTube component automatically causes the internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject to download a representation of the corresponding YouTube component from YouTube. You will find additional information about YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/about/. As part of this technical process, YouTube and Google receive information about which specific subpage of our website is visited by the data subject.
If the data subject is logged into YouTube at the same time, YouTube recognizes which specific subpage of our website the data subject is visiting when a subpage containing a YouTube video is visited. This information is collected by YouTube and Google and assigned to the respective YouTube account of the data subject.
YouTube and Google always receive notification via the YouTube component that the data subject has visited our website if the data subject is logged into YouTube at the same time as visiting our website; this takes place regardless of whether or not the data subject clicks on a YouTube video. If the data subject does not want this information to be transmitted to YouTube and Google, he or she can prevent the transmission by logging out of his or her YouTube account before visiting our website.
This information is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. The operator of this website has no more influence on this transmission of data.
The privacy policy published by YouTube can be found at https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en&gl=en and provides insight into the collection, processing and use of personal data by YouTube and Google.
