With your consent, we use the open source software Matomo to analyze and statistically evaluate the use of the website. This enables us to analyze user behavior. This helps us to continuously improve our website and its user-friendliness. The information obtained about website usage is transmitted exclusively to our servers and summarized in pseudonymous usage profiles. We use the data to evaluate the use of the website. The collected data is not passed on to third parties.
The IP addresses are anonymized (IP masking) so that they cannot be assigned to individual users.

The data is processed on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR. In doing so, we pursue our legitimate interest in optimizing our website for our public image.

In addition, this website offers a contact form that allows you to send us a direct inquiry and allows us to respond directly to your email address.

Matomo processes the following data:

• Anonymized IP addresses
• Pseudo-anonymized location (based on the anonymized IP address)
• Date and time
• Title of the page accessed
• URL of the page accessed
• URL of the previous page (if permitted)
• Screen resolution
• Local time
• Files that were clicked on and downloaded
• External links
• Duration of page loading
• Country, region, city (with low accuracy due to IP address)
• Main language of the browser
• User agent of the browser
• Interactions with forms (but not their content)

This data is stored exclusively for technical reasons and is never assigned to a specific person. The software runs exclusively on our website's servers. The data is not passed on to third parties.

This website does not use cookies.

The contact form helps us to contact you directly on a one-time basis.

Personal data is sent to:
• Fusion Cologne GmbH (info@fusion-cologne.de)
• Hetzner Online GmbH (server host)

As a matter of principle, your personal data will only be passed on without your express prior consent in the following cases:

If it is necessary to investigate illegal use of our services or for legal prosecution, personal data will be forwarded to law enforcement authorities and, if necessary, to injured third parties. However, this will only happen if there are concrete indications of illegal or abusive behavior. Data may also be passed on if this serves to enforce terms of use or other agreements. We are also legally obliged to provide information to certain public authorities upon request. These include law enforcement agencies, authorities that prosecute administrative offenses punishable by fines, and the tax authorities.

The disclosure of this data is based on our legitimate interest in combating abuse, prosecuting criminal offenses, and securing, asserting, and enforcing claims, and that your rights and interests in the protection of your personal data do not outweigh this interest, Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR.

We rely on contractually affiliated third-party companies and external service providers ("processors") to provide our services. In such cases, personal data is passed on to these processors to enable them to process it further. These processors are carefully selected by us and regularly reviewed to ensure that your privacy is protected. The processors may only use the data for the purposes specified by us and are also contractually obliged by us to treat your data exclusively in accordance with this privacy policy and German data protection laws.

Specifically, we use the following processors:

Web hosting provider: Hetzner Online GmbH

The transfer of data to processors is based on Art. 28 (1) GDPR, alternatively on our legitimate interest in the economic and technical advantages associated with the use of specialized processors, and the fact that your rights and interests in the protection of your personal data do not outweigh this, Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR.

As part of the further development of our business, the structure of Häfen und Güterverkehr Köln AG may change as a result of a change in legal form, the establishment, purchase, or sale of subsidiaries, parts of the company, or components. In such transactions, customer information is transferred along with the part of the company being transferred. Whenever personal data is transferred to third parties to the extent described above, we ensure that this is done in accordance with this privacy policy and the relevant data protection laws.

Any transfer of personal data is justified by the fact that we have a legitimate interest in adapting our corporate form to economic and legal circumstances as necessary and that your rights and interests in the protection of your personal data do not outweigh this, Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR.

Your personal data will only be processed for purposes other than those described if this is permitted by law or if you have consented to the changed purpose of data processing. In the event of further processing for purposes other than those for which the data was originally collected, we will inform you of these other purposes before further processing and provide you with all further relevant information.

We delete or anonymize your personal data as soon as it is no longer required for the purposes for which we collected or used it in accordance with the above sections. As a rule, we store your personal data collected in connection with your use of this website for the duration of your use of the website.

After these periods have expired, the data will be deleted unless it is required for longer due to statutory retention periods, for criminal prosecution, or to secure, assert, or enforce legal claims. In this case, the data will be blocked. The data will then no longer be available for further use.

We do not use automated processing procedures to make decisions about you.

You have the right to request information from us at any time about the personal data we process concerning you within the scope of Art. 15 GDPR. To do so, you can submit a request by mail or email to the address above.

You have the right to request that we correct personal data concerning you without delay if it is inaccurate. To do so, please contact us at the addresses given above.

You have the right to request that we delete personal data concerning you under the conditions described in Art. 17 GDPR. These conditions provide, in particular, for a right to erasure if the personal data is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected or otherwise processed, as well as in cases of unlawful processing, the existence of an objection, or the existence of an obligation to erase under Union law or the law of the Member State to which we are subject. For information on the period of data storage, please refer to section 7 of this privacy policy.

To exercise your above right, please contact us at the addresses given above.

You have the right to request that we restrict processing in accordance with Art. 18 GDPR.

This right applies in particular if the accuracy of the personal data is disputed between the user and us, for the duration required to verify the accuracy, and in the event that the user requests restricted processing instead of erasure in the case of an existing right to erasure; furthermore, in the event that the data is no longer required for the purposes pursued by us, but the user needs it to assert, exercise, or defend legal claims, and if the successful exercise of an objection between us and the user is still disputed.

To assert your above right, please contact us at the contact addresses provided above.

You have the right to receive from us the personal data concerning you that you have provided to us in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format in accordance with Art. 20 GDPR.

To exercise your above right, please contact us at the contact addresses provided above.

You have the right to object at any time, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to the processing of personal data concerning you which is carried out on the basis of Article 6(1)(e) or (f) GDPR, in accordance with Article 21 GDPR. We will stop processing your personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that override your interests, rights, and freedoms, or the processing serves to assert, exercise, or defend legal claims.

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority. The competent supervisory authority is:

The State Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information North Rhine-Westphalia
