Purposes for which we use your data

We use the information collected about you for various purposes. Your personal data may be used in the following ways:

Who do we pass your data on to?

We do not transfer your data to third parties unless we are legally obliged to do so or we use third parties to fulfill the aforementioned processing purposes. Where external service providers have access to your personal data, we have put legal, technical, and organizational measures in place and carry out regular checks to ensure that these external service providers comply with the provisions of data protection law.

We may also pass this data on if we are obliged by law or a corresponding court or administrative decision to disclose personal data. We may also share personal data with the relevant authorities in order to protect our rights and property or the rights and property of our business partners.

For organizational reasons, it may be necessary to also pass on certain information to companies in the KION group of companies. If this company is based in a country outside the European Union without an appropriate level of data protection, we have put contractual agreements in place where necessary to ensure that your personal data is protected in line with European regulations.

How we protect your data

We have taken extensive technical and operational security precautions to ensure that the personal data we store is protected against unauthorized access and misuse. Our security precautions are reviewed regularly and adapted in line with the latest technologies.

We store your personal data for as long as we have a legitimate reason to do so. At the end of the storage period, we reserve the right to anonymize your data instead of deleting it.

Personal data is processed via the use of cookies. You can change your cookie settings in the footer of this website.

We use the consent management tool CCM19 on our website, a service of Papoo Software & Media GmbH, Auguststr. 4, 53229 Bonn, Germany ("CCM 19"). The tool allows you to save your preference for the use of cookies on this site. The data processing serves the purpose of obtaining as well as documenting required consents for data processing.

Cookies may be used for this purpose. Among other things, the following information is collected and transmitted to CCM19 (server location Germany): Date and time of the page view, a random ID, Consent Status. You can find out more about data processing by CCM 19 at: External Link.

Data processing is carried out to fulfill a legal obligation on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR.

Google Analytics:

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google, Inc ("Google"). Google Analytics uses so-called "cookies". Cookies are text files that are stored on your computer and enable an analysis of your use of this website. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. However, by anonymising the IP address on this website, your IP address will be truncated by Google within the Member States of the European Union or in other contracting states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transferred to a Google server in the USA and shortened there.

Google will use this information on our behalf for the purpose of evaluating your use of the website, compiling reports on website activity and providing other services relating to website activity and internet usage to the website operator. The IP addresses transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.

You can prevent cookies from being stored by making the appropriate settings in your browser. Please note, however, that in this case you may not be able to use all the functions of this website. You can also prohibit Google from processing the data collected through the use of this website (incl. your IP address) and through the cookie by downloading and installing the browser plugin via the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de.

We would like to point out in particular that Google Analytics has extended the code "gat._anonymizeIp();" to enable anonymised collection of IP addresses or so-called "IP masking". We use this code to carry out a corresponding anonymisation.

Google Analytics is also used on this website to analyse data from AdWords and the double-click cookie for statistical purposes. If you do not want this, you can deactivate it in the Ads Preferences Manager (https://support.google.com/ads/answer/2662922?hl=de).

Google Tag Manager

Google Tag Manager enables the management of website tags via an interface. Only tags are implemented here, but no cookies are set and no personal data is collected. The Google Tag Manager can trigger tags that may collect data. However, we do not access this data via the Google Tag Manager. You can find more information about the Google Tag Manager at the following link: https://marketingplatform.google.com/about/analytics/tag-manager/use-policy/.

Google Ads Conversion

By using Google Ads Conversion, we can place advertisements for our services on external websites. Via the campaign data, we can determine how successful the individual advertising measures are. The above-mentioned targeting measure is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 (1) 1 lit f) GDPR, stating a legitimate interest. Our legitimate interest is the playout of target group-specific advertising. In this way, we want to ensure that we play you the advertisements that are of interest to you.

The delivery of the advertising material by Google takes place via so-called "ad servers". For this purpose, we use ad server cookies through which certain parameters for measuring success, such as the display of ads or clicks by users, can be measured. When you access our website via a Google ad, Google Adwords stores a cookie on your device. These cookies are not intended to identify you individually and are usually deleted after 30 days. For these cookies, the unique cookie ID, the number of ads per placement (frequency), the last click (relevant for measuring conversions) and opt-out information (indicator that the user no longer wishes to be contacted) are usually stored as analytics values.

Since we have no influence on the scope and further use of the data collected by Google with this tool, you can find more information under External Link.

You can disable Google's use of cookies by going to the External Link page. You can also deactivate the conversion tracking cookies by setting your browser to block cookies from the domain "googleadservices.com". However, we would like to point out that in this case you may not be able to use all the functions of this website.

As the data subject, you have the right to request from the controller confirmation as to whether or not personal data concerning you is being processed; where that is the case, you are also entitled to access this personal data and the information specified in detail in Art. 15 GDPR.

The data subject has the right to request from LMH without undue delay the rectification of inaccurate personal data concerning them and to have incomplete personal data completed if necessary (Art. 16 GDPR).

You are entitled to request from LMH the erasure of personal data concerning you without undue delay where one of the reasons specified in Art. 17 GDPR applies, e.g. if the data is no longer required for the intended purposes (right to erasure).

The data subject shall have the right to obtain from the controller restriction of processing where one of the prerequisites specified in Art. 18 GDPR applies, e.g. if the data subject objects to processing, for a period enabling the controller to verify this.

The data subject has the right to object, on grounds relating to their particular situation, at any time to the processing of personal data relating to them. The controller shall then no longer process the personal data unless the controller can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override the interests, rights, and freedoms of the data subject or for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims (Art. 21 GDPR).

Without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, every data subject has the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority if the data subject considers that the processing of personal data relating to them infringes the GDPR (Art. 77 GDPR).
