Google Tag Manager
Our website uses Google Tag Manager. Google Tag Manager is a solution from Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043, USA, which allows us to manage our website tags via an interface. Google Tag Manager is a cookie-less domain that does not collect any personal data. Google Tag Manager triggers other tags (cookies and pixels), which in turn may collect data. We explicitly point this out here. Google Tag Manager does not access this data. If a user has performed a deactivation at the domain or cookie level, this remains in effect for all tracking tags implemented with Google Tag Manager.
Through technical protocols such as HTTPS, personal data such as your IP address, device information, and browser information are also sent to Google Tag Manager by your browser when you access our website. However, Google Tag Manager does not collect or process this data.

Provider / Recipient of the data: OneTrust LLC., 82 St. John Street, Farringdon, London EC1M 4JN, UK as an external data processor
Purposes of processing:
Informing website users about certain tags and web technologies on our website
Obtaining, managing and documenting user consent
Controlling the unrestricted and reliable functionality of the service
Integration of YouTube videos
This website integrates content from YouTube. YouTube is operated by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA ("Google"). The legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in providing you with video content about our company.
For YouTube videos embedded on our site, enhanced privacy settings are enabled. This means that no information from website visitors is collected and stored by YouTube unless they play the video.
Please note that when you start playback, your personal data (e.g., IP address) may also be accessible in non-EU/non-EEA countries ("third countries") where a lower level of data protection prevails than in Germany.
Furthermore, after starting a video, YouTube may use cookies or other technologies to analyze user behavior. Starting a YouTube video can trigger further data processing operations over which we have no influence.
If we have obtained your consent to play YouTube videos on our site, processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR and the respective national implementation of the so-called "ePrivacy Directive" 2002/58/EC, which was amended by the so-called "Cookie Directive" Directive 2009/136/EC, insofar as the consent includes the storage of cookies or access to information on the user's terminal device in this sense. Consent can be revoked at any time.
To prevent the setting of tracking cookies even when playing the video, you can prevent the storage of cookies by adjusting the settings of your browser software – as described above; however, we point out that in this case you may not be able to fully use all functions of this website.
Further information on the purpose and scope of data collection and its processing by YouTube can be found in the provider's privacy policies. There you will also find further information about your rights in this regard and setting options for protecting your privacy.

Social Media Profiles/Pages
DOUIE operates social media profiles/pages on
Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn and TikTok
Pinterest and YouTube

Purpose of processing
Informing our customers about goods, offers, events, services, promotions, competitions, company news, and interacting with visitors to social media profiles and our customers.
Legal basis:
Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. Data processing is carried out in the interest of our company to represent DOUIE as a company on social media, for marketing purposes, and to answer inquiries and comments from our customers and page visitors, thus achieving customer and page visitor satisfaction.
Recipient of the data:
We do not pass on your personal data, i.e., the data you enter on our social media pages, such as comments, videos, images, likes, public messages, etc., which are published by the social media platform, to any third parties. We merely reserve the right to delete content that is illegal or criminally relevant/unlawful, should this be necessary.
If you contact us, for example, via the private message function on our social media channels regarding your customer relationship, purchases made, etc., this data will only be forwarded internally to our customer service. Exceptionally, data will be processed on our behalf by processors. These are carefully selected, audited by us, and contractually obligated according to Art. 28 GDPR. If it is necessary to forward your inquiry to contractual partners (e.g., manufacturers in the case of complaints) for processing, we will anonymize your inquiry. If, in individual cases, the forwarding of your personal data appears expedient, we will inform you beforehand and ask for your consent. Without your consent, we will not pass on your data to third parties for these purposes.
We have no influence over deletion by the platform operator itself. Please refer to the privacy notices of the respective platform operator, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, YouTube, Pinterest, for additional information.
Joint controllership, Art. 26 para. 1 GDPR:
There is partial "joint controllership" according to Art. 26 para. 1 GDPR with the platform operator of our social media profiles. This means that DOUIE and the platform operators act as joint controllers regarding the web tracking methods used on the social media profiles/pages. Web tracking can also take place regardless of whether you are logged in or registered with the social media platform. As described, we have no influence over this (e.g., to prevent advertising tracking by the platform providers). With regard to Facebook and Instagram, an adequate level of data protection cannot be assumed due to processing in the USA. There is a risk that government authorities may access the data for security and surveillance purposes without you being informed or being able to appeal. Please note this. Also note the privacy policies of the respective provider.
Data Security
We maintain technical and organizational measures to ensure data security, in particular to protect your personal data from risks during data transfers and from third-party access.
These are continuously adapted to the current state of the art. If you provide personal data on our site, it will be encrypted using an encryption protocol during transmission.

Update of this Privacy Policy
DOUIE regularly reviews its privacy policy and will update it as needed. We will inform you of any significant changes to this privacy policy (for example, on our website).
