Privacy Policy

Public One observes applicable data protection regulations when collecting, using, and processing personal data. If there is an option to enter personal data (email address, names, addresses, etc.) within the website, this is done voluntarily. The personal data you provide is only used internally to answer your inquiries, process your orders, or provide you access to specific information.

You have the right to free information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients, and the purpose of data processing, as well as the right to correct, block, or delete this data. For this and other questions about personal data, you can contact us at any time at the address given in the legal notice.

Please note that data transmission over the Internet (e.g., communication by email) may have security gaps. Complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.

Liability for Contents

As a service provider, we are responsible for our own content on these pages according to general laws (§ 7 Abs.1 TMG). However, according to §§ 8 to 10 TMG, we are not obligated to monitor transmitted or stored third-party information or to investigate circumstances that indicate illegal activity.

Obligations to remove or block the use of information under general laws remain unaffected. However, liability in this regard is only possible from the point of knowledge of a specific violation of law. Upon becoming aware of such violations, we will remove this content immediately.

Liability for Links

Our offer contains links to external third-party websites over whose content we have no influence. Therefore, we cannot assume any liability for these external contents. The respective provider or operator of the pages is always responsible for the content of the linked pages. The linked pages were checked for possible legal violations at the time of linking.

Illegal content was not recognizable at the time of linking. However, permanent content control of the linked pages is not reasonable without concrete evidence of a violation of law. Upon becoming aware of violations, we will remove such links immediately.

Use of Cookies

Public One uses "cookies". These serve to better align our offer with your wishes and to collect statistical data about the use of our website. "Cookies" are small text files that can be stored locally in the memory of your Internet browser on your computer. The cookies on our website do not collect any personal data about you or your usage.

You can delete cookies that have been set at any time by accessing the corresponding menu item in your Internet browser or by deleting the cookies on your hard drive. Details can be found in the help menu of your Internet browser.

Using the Website without Cookies

Of course, you can also use our website without cookies. You can reject the use of cookies at any time via your Internet browser settings ("deactivate"). Alternatively, you can have the setting of cookies displayed and then decide in individual cases whether cookies should be accepted ("cookie warning"). Rejecting or displaying cookies may affect the functionality of our website.

Server Log Files

Public One automatically collects and stores information in server log files that your browser automatically transmits to us. These are: Browser type/version, operating system used, referrer URL, hostname of the accessing computer, time of server request

These data cannot be assigned to specific persons. This data is not merged with other data sources. We reserve the right to check this data retrospectively if we become aware of specific indications of illegal use.

Google Analytics

This website uses functions of the web analytics service Google Analytics. The provider is Google Inc. 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. Google Analytics uses "cookies". These are text files stored on your computer that enable an analysis of your use of the 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.

In case IP anonymization is activated on this website, your IP address will be truncated by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and truncated there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity, and to provide other services relating to website activity and internet usage to the website operator. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.

You can prevent the storage of cookies by setting your browser software accordingly; however, please note that in this case you may not be able to use all functions of this website to their full extent. You can also prevent Google from collecting the data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) and from processing this data by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at the following link: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en

European Data Protection

SSL Encryption

To protect the security of your data during transmission, we use state-of-the-art encryption procedures (e.g., SSL) via HTTPS.

Deletion or Blocking of Data

We adhere to the principles of data avoidance and data economy. Therefore, we only store your personal data for as long as necessary to achieve the purposes mentioned here or as provided for by the various storage periods specified by law. After the respective purpose ceases or these periods expire, the corresponding data is routinely blocked or deleted in accordance with statutory provisions.

Use of Google Maps

This website uses Google Maps API to visually display geographic information. When using Google Maps, Google also collects, processes, and uses data about visitors' use of the map features. You can find more information about data processing by Google in Google's privacy policy. There you can also change your personal privacy settings in the privacy center. Detailed instructions for managing your own data in connection with Google products can be found here.

Embedded YouTube Videos

On some of our web pages, we embed YouTube videos. The operator of the corresponding plugins is YouTube, LLC, 901 Cherry Ave., San Bruno, CA 94066, USA. When you visit a page with the YouTube plugin, a connection to YouTube's servers is established. This tells YouTube which pages you visit. If you are logged into your YouTube account, YouTube can associate your browsing behavior with you personally. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account beforehand. When a YouTube video is started, the provider sets cookies that collect information about user behavior.

Anyone who has disabled the storage of cookies for the Google Ad program will not have to deal with such cookies when watching YouTube videos. However, YouTube also stores non-personal usage information in other cookies. If you want to prevent this, you must block the storage of cookies in your browser. Further information about data protection at "YouTube" can be found in the provider's privacy policy at: https://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy/

Google AdWords

Our website uses Google Conversion Tracking. If you have reached our website via a Google advertisement, Google Adwords will set a cookie on your computer. The conversion tracking cookie is set when a user clicks on an ad served by Google. These cookies expire after 30 days and are not used for personal identification. If the user visits certain pages of our website and the cookie has not yet expired, we and Google can recognize that the user clicked on the ad and was redirected to this page. Each Google AdWords customer receives a different cookie. Cookies cannot be tracked across AdWords customers' websites. The information collected using the conversion cookie is used to create conversion statistics for AdWords customers who have opted for conversion tracking. Customers learn the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a page tagged with a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not receive any information that can be used to personally identify users. If you do not want to participate in tracking, you can opt-out of this by preventing the setting of cookies – for example through browser settings that generally deactivate the automatic setting of cookies or by setting your browser to block cookies from the domain "googleleadservices.com". Please note that you should not delete the opt-out cookies as long as you do not want measurement data to be recorded. If you have deleted all your cookies in your browser, you must set the respective opt-out cookie again.

Your Rights to Information, Correction, Blocking, Deletion and Objection You have the right to receive information about your personal data stored by us at any time. Likewise, you have the right to correction, blocking or, apart from the prescribed data storage for business transactions, deletion of your personal data. Please contact our data protection officer. You can find the contact details at the very bottom. To ensure that a blocking of data can be taken into account at any time, this data must be kept in a lock file for control purposes. You can also request the deletion of the data, as far as no legal archiving obligation exists. As far as such an obligation exists, we will block your data on request. You can make changes or revoke your consent by notifying us accordingly with effect for the future.

Changes to our Privacy Policy

We reserve the right to occasionally adapt this privacy policy so that it always complies with current legal requirements or to implement changes to our services in the privacy policy, e.g., when introducing new services. The new privacy policy will then apply to your next visit.
