2. General Information on Data Processing

We only process personal data of our users to the extent necessary to provide a functional website and our content and services. The processing of personal data of our users regularly takes place only with the user's consent. An exception applies in cases where obtaining prior consent is not possible for practical reasons and the processing of data is permitted by law.

3. Provision of the Website and Server Log Files

Each time our website is accessed, our system automatically collects data and information from the accessing computer. The following data is collected:

Information about the browser type and version used, the user's operating system, the user's internet service provider, the user's IP address, date and time of access. This data is stored in our system's log files. This data is not merged with other data sources.

All design elements of this website, including the fonts in use, are served from our own server. Opening our pages does not establish a connection to any third party server. The only exception is the map on the contact page, which is loaded only after your explicit consent (see section 7).

4. Contact Form and Email Contact

A contact form is available on our website for electronic contact. If a user takes advantage of this option, the data entered in the input form is transmitted to us and stored. This data includes: name, email address, company (optional) and message. The legal basis for processing is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.

5. Your Rights

You have the following rights with regard to your personal data: right of access, right to rectification or erasure, right to restriction of processing, right to object to processing, right to data portability. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority about the processing of your personal data by us.

6. Cookies and Local Storage

This website does not use cookies for tracking or analytics purposes. Only technically necessary cookies are used insofar as they are required for the operation of the website.

For the map on the contact page we store your choice in your browser's local storage on request (entry "mqtec-map-consent"). The entry only records that you agreed to load the map. Without that checkbox your consent applies to the current visit only. You can delete the entry at any time in your browser settings. Your preference for the light or dark appearance is stored locally as well.

7. Google Maps

On the contact page we embed a map provided by Google Maps. The provider is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

The map is not loaded automatically. You first see a preview image served from our own server. A connection to Google is established only once you use the button "Load Google Maps". In that case your IP address, the page requested, details about your browser and operating system as well as date and time are transmitted to Google. Google may set cookies or use comparable techniques. If you are signed in to a Google account in your browser, Google may link the usage to that account.

The legal basis is your consent under Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and Section 25(1) TDDDG. Consent is voluntary. Without it the map stays unloaded and all other content of the page remains available. You may withdraw your consent at any time with effect for the future by deleting the entry named in section 6 in your browser.

A transfer of data to the United States cannot be ruled out. According to Google, such transfers are based on the EU-US Data Privacy Framework and, in addition, on standard contractual clauses. Further information is available in Google's privacy policy and in the Google Maps terms of service.

8. Audience Measurement with Plausible Analytics

We use Plausible Analytics (Community Edition), a privacy-friendly analytics tool, to compile statistics about visits to this website. It runs entirely on our own servers in Germany. No data is transmitted to third parties.

Plausible does not use cookies and does not build user profiles. It records the page visited, the referring page, the country, the browser type and the device type. Your IP address is used only transiently to distinguish visits within a single day and is obfuscated by a procedure that changes daily; it is not stored. Recognition across multiple days or across other websites is not possible.

The legal basis is our legitimate interest in analysing and improving our website under Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Consent under Section 25 TDDDG is not required because no information is stored on or read from your device.

9. Changes to this Privacy Policy

We reserve the right to amend this privacy policy to ensure it always complies with current legal requirements or to implement changes to our services in the privacy policy. The new privacy policy will then apply to your next visit.
