Information Collection

The temporary storage of the IP address by the system is necessary to enable the website to be delivered to your computer. For this, the IP address must remain stored for the duration of the session. The legal basis for the temporary storage of this personal data is therefore our legitimate interest according to Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR.

Information Sharing
Leruths Technologies does not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer your Personally Identifiable Information (“PII”) to outside parties without your express consent.
Express consent to share your PII is not required in the case of trusted third parties who assist us in operating our website, conducting our business, or servicing you, so long as those parties agree to keep your information confidential (see above regarding information collection).
Leruths Technologies may also release your PII in cases where we believe such release is necessary to comply with the law, enforce our site policies, or protect our or others’ rights, property, or safety.
Non-personally identifiable visitor information may be provided to other parties for marketing, advertising, or other uses.
Marketing Agencies
Your personal information will be transmitted to our marketing agencies commissioned by us for the delivery of email marketing communications ordered and perform market activities and analytics. This company is contractually bound to comply with data protection regulations.
Use of HubSpot
We use HubSpot, a service of HubSpot Inc. (“HubSpot), on our website for our online marketing activities. HubSpot is a software company from the USA. HubSpot participates in and has certified its compliance with the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield Framework and also with the EU Standard Contractual (Model) Clauses and thus guarantees appropriate data protection.
So-called web beacons are used, and cookies are set, which are stored on your computer and enable us to analyse your use of the website (see below regarding cookies). HubSpot evaluates the recorded information (e.g. IP address, geographical location, type of browser, duration of the visit and pages accessed) on our behalf in order to generate reports regarding the visit and the pages visited.
If email marketing communications are subscribed (see above regarding information usage) and other documents are obtained, with HubSpot we can also link a user’s visits to our website with personal data (above all, name and email address) on the basis of a given consent (Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR), thus record personal data and inform users individually and purposefully about preferred topics.
We use all collected information exclusively to optimise our marketing.
This information and the contents of our website are stored on servers of HubSpot in the USA. The information can be used by us to get in contact with visitors of our website and to determine which services of our company are of interest to them.
If a recording by HubSpot is generally not desired, the storage of cookies can be prevented at any time by appropriate browser settings (see below regarding cookies).
Use of Google Analytics
On our website we use Google Analytics, a web analysis service of Google Inc. (“Google”). Google Analytics uses cookies (see below regarding cookies) for the collection of anonymous information, such as the number of visitors to the website, from where visitors log in, which pages they view and how long they stay on our website.
The information generated by Google’s cookies about your use of this website is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. Google will use this information on our behalf to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity, and to provide us with other services relating to website and Internet use.
To ensure that any personal reference can be excluded when processing your IP address, we have activated the “_anonymizeIp()” function with Google Analytics. As a result, IP addresses are not stored completely and are only processed further in abbreviated form. As far as the data collected about you contains a personal reference, this will be excluded immediately, and the personal data will be deleted immediately. Google will shorten the user’s IP address within member states of the European Union or in other EEA states prior to transmission. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. The IP address transmitted by the user’s browser within the scope of Google Analytics is not merged with other Google data.
For more information on how Google Analytics works, please refer to their Terms of Service at: https://marketingplatform.google.com/about/analytics/terms/us/
or their Privacy Policy at: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en.
Some of your data may be stored and/or transferred outside of the United States. However, we ensure that the countries where data is stored and transferred have national legislation for personal data protection which is comparable to the United States’ Privacy Act and the GDPR (where applicable).
