2. Hosting and server log files
This website runs on servers of DigitalOcean, LLC in a data centre in Frankfurt am Main, Germany, which we manage ourselves. With every request the web server processes technically necessary data: IP address, date and time, the page requested, the amount of data transferred, the referring page, and browser and operating system. This is required to deliver the website and keep it secure. The legal basis is our legitimate interest in a secure and working website (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). Log files are deleted after 14 days at the latest. A data processing agreement is in place with DigitalOcean.
3. Fonts
The fonts are loaded from our own server. No connection to third-party servers (such as Google Fonts) is made.
4. Visitor statistics (Umami)
We compile anonymous visitor statistics with the open-source software Umami, which we run on our own servers in Frankfurt. Umami sets no cookies and stores no IP addresses; it only derives a value from IP address and browser details that changes daily and cannot be traced back, in order to count visits. It records the pages viewed, the referring page, browser, device type and country. When you successfully submit one of our forms, Umami counts this event with the form, the website and the language version; the details you enter are not sent to Umami. The data is not passed on to third parties. The legal basis is our legitimate interest in improving our website (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).
5. Cookies
This website itself sets no cookies. Only the spam check of the forms (section 7) may set technically necessary Cloudflare cookies while the check runs.
6. Links to other websites
Our pages link to the websites of our brands and partners. Their operators are responsible for the processing of data on those websites; their privacy policies apply.
7. Request and application forms
Through the forms "Request product range" and "Request private label" we process what you enter there: company, contact person, e-mail address, the product group or article and your details on the project (quantities, delivery route, message). The purpose is to answer your request and to initiate a business relationship (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR). Requests are deleted from our system automatically 24 months after receipt unless a business relationship has come about or statutory retention obligations apply.
Through the application form we process your name, e-mail address, phone number, the position, the possible start date and your message, together with the documents you send to bewerbung@ananda.gmbh by e-mail, solely for the recruitment procedure (Section 26(1) BDSG, Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR). The data is deleted six months after the procedure ends, and in the form system six months after receipt at the latest. Longer storage requires your consent.
The form data is stored in a backend of a cloud provider based in the USA, which we run in the provider's EU region (Ireland), and sent as a notification to our internal mailboxes through the e-mail service of Mailgun Technologies, Inc. (EU region). Data processing agreements with the EU standard contractual clauses are in place with both providers. To protect the forms against automated input we use Cloudflare Turnstile of Cloudflare, Inc., San Francisco (USA), which checks technical characteristics of your browser and your IP address when you submit; the legal basis is our legitimate interest in running the forms free of abuse (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). To limit the number of requests per sender we also store a non-reversible hash of your IP address and the browser identifier with the request; the IP address itself is not stored.
8. Contacting us
When you contact us by e-mail or phone, we process your details to answer your request (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR or Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). The data is deleted once the request has been dealt with, unless statutory retention obligations apply.
9. Your rights
You have the right of access (Art. 15 GDPR), rectification (Art. 16 GDPR), erasure (Art. 17 GDPR), restriction of processing (Art. 18 GDPR) and data portability (Art. 20 GDPR), and the right to object, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to processing based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (Art. 21 GDPR). To exercise them, write to datenschutz@ananda.gmbh.
You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority, for example the State Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information Baden-Württemberg, Lautenschlagerstraße 20, 70173 Stuttgart, Germany.
