If other cookies are set (e.g. for analysis functions), they are addressed separately in this privacy policy.
Why Do We Use Cookies?
In order to control and secure the smooth functioning of our website and to make our website as informative and user-friendly as possible for you, we use cookies.

Google Analytics
Our website uses functions of the web analytics service Google Analytics. The web analytics service provider is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.
Google Analytics uses "cookies." These are small text files that your web browser stores on your device and allow analysis of website usage. Information generated by cookies about your use of our website is transmitted to a Google server and stored there. The server is usually located in the USA.

IP Anonymization
We use Google Analytics in conjunction with the IP anonymization feature. It ensures that Google shortens your IP address within member states of the European Union or other parties to the Agreement on the European Economic Area prior to transmission to the United States. There may be exceptions where Google transmits the full IP address to a server in the United States and truncates it there. Google will use this information on our behalf to evaluate your use of the website, to report on website activity, and to provide us with other services related to website activity and internet usage. The IP address transmitted by Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.

Newsletter
Newsletter Subscription
On the website of Allaoui Graphic Machinery GmbH, users are given the opportunity to subscribe to the company newsletter. The personal data transmitted when ordering the newsletter is determined by the input form used for this purpose.
Allaoui Graphic Machinery GmbH informs its customers and business partners at regular intervals about company offers via newsletter. The newsletter can only be received by the data subject if (1) the data subject has a valid email address and (2) the data subject registers for the newsletter.
The personal data collected in the context of registering for the newsletter are used exclusively to send our newsletter and to establish business contact. Newsletter subscribers may also be notified by e-mail if this is necessary for the operation of the newsletter service, as might be the case in the event of changes to the newsletter offer or changes of a technical nature. The personal data collected in the course of the newsletter service is generally not passed on to third parties. However, for the secure delivery of emails, we use the GDPR-compliant US email provider SendGrid, to whom the email addresses we send to will be forwarded.
Newsletter Tracking
The newsletters of Allaoui Graphic Machinery GmbH contain so-called tracking pixels. A tracking pixel is a miniature graphic embedded in emails sent in HTML format to enable log file recording and analysis. This allows a statistical evaluation of the success or failure of online marketing campaigns. Based on the embedded pixel, Allaoui Graphic Machinery GmbH can detect if and when an e-mail was opened by a data subject and which links in the e-mail were accessed.
Such personal data collected via the tracking pixels contained in the newsletters will be stored and evaluated by the controller in order to optimize the delivery of newsletters and to better adapt the content of future newsletters to the interests of the data subject.
Unsubscribing from the Newsletter
Subscription to our newsletter may be terminated by the person concerned at any time. The consent to the storage of personal data given for the newsletter dispatch can be revoked at any time. A corresponding unsubscribe link is provided in each newsletter. Furthermore, an informal notice can be made at any time by email.
Contact via the Website
The website of Allaoui Graphic Machinery GmbH contains information that enables fast electronic contact to our company, including an e-mail address. If an affected person contacts the data controller by e-mail or through a contact form, the personal data provided by the data subject will be automatically saved for the purpose of processing or contacting the data subject. This personal data will not be disclosed to third parties.

Right to Erasure (Right to Be Forgotten)
Any person affected by the processing of personal data has the right to require the controller to immediately delete the personal data concerning them, provided that one of the following reasons applies and the processing is not required:
The personal data has been collected for purposes for which it is no longer necessary.
The data subject withdraws the consent on which the processing was based and there is no other legal basis for the processing.
The data subject objects to the processing and there are no overriding legitimate reasons for the processing.

The accuracy of the personal data is contested by the data subject, for a period enabling the controller to verify the accuracy.
The processing is unlawful, the data subject refuses to delete the personal data, and instead requests the restriction of its use.
The controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of processing, but the data subject requires them for legal claims.
The data subject has objected to the processing and it is not yet clear whether the legitimate reasons of the controller outweigh those of the data subject.
Right to Data Portability
Any person affected by the processing of personal data has the right to obtain the personal data concerning them in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format, and to transmit this data to another controller without hindrance, where the processing is based on consent or a contract and is carried out by automated means.

Allaoui Graphic Machinery GmbH will no longer process the personal data in the event of an objection, unless we can prove compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that outweigh the interests, rights, and freedoms of the data subject, or the processing serves the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.
Automated Individual Decision-Making Including Profiling
Any person concerned by the processing of personal data has the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing — including profiling — which produces legal effects concerning them or similarly significantly affects them, unless the decision is necessary for the conclusion or performance of a contract, is permitted by law, or is based on the explicit consent of the data subject.
Right to Withdraw Data Protection Consent
Any person affected by the processing of personal data has the right to revoke their consent to the processing of personal data at any time. If the data subject wishes to assert this right, they may contact an employee of the controller at any time.
Data Protection in Job Applications
The controller collects and processes the personal data of applicants for the purpose of processing the application. The processing may also be carried out electronically, for example when an applicant submits application documents by e-mail or via a web form. If the controller concludes an employment contract with an applicant, the data transmitted will be stored for the purposes of the employment relationship in accordance with legal requirements. If no employment contract is concluded, the application documents will be automatically deleted two months after the announcement of the rejection decision, unless deletion conflicts with other legitimate interests of the controller.
The controller has integrated components of Facebook on this website. Facebook is a social network operated by Facebook, Inc., 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA. Persons responsible for the processing of personal data outside the USA or Canada: Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland.
Each visit to a page with an integrated Facebook component causes the Internet browser on the data subject's device to automatically download a representation of the corresponding Facebook component. As part of this technical process, Facebook receives information about which specific subpage of our website is visited by the person concerned.
If the data subject is simultaneously logged into Facebook, Facebook recognizes with each visit to our website which specific subpage the data subject visits. This information is collected through the Facebook component and assigned to the respective Facebook account.
Facebook always receives information via the Facebook component that the data subject has visited our website if they are logged in to Facebook at the same time as accessing our website — regardless of whether they click on the Facebook component or not. If such a transfer of information to Facebook is not desired, it can be prevented by logging out of the Facebook account before visiting our website.
The data policy published by Facebook, available at https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/, provides information on the collection, processing, and use of personal data by Facebook.
YouTube
For the integration and presentation of video content, our website uses plugins from YouTube. Provider of the video portal is YouTube, LLC, 901 Cherry Ave, San Bruno, CA 94066, USA.
When you visit a page with an integrated YouTube plugin, a connection is established to YouTube's servers. YouTube will find out which of our pages you have visited.
YouTube may associate your browsing behavior directly with your personal profile if you are logged into your YouTube account. You can prevent this by logging out beforehand.
The use of YouTube is in the interest of an attractive presentation of our online offerings. This constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.
