Personal data are all information that directly identify a person or that make a person identifiable by reference to other features. “Personal data” is referred to as “data” throughout this text.
IP addresses
An IP address is the number for a device (laptop, tablet, smartphone etc.) that allows the respective device to be identified on the internet. This means that the IP address of the computer accessing the website must be known when moving between websites on the internet. However, we do not know the identity of the respective user and we also do not attempt to gain knowledge of their identity. IP addresses are collected on this website for security-related assessments and are deleted after one year.
If you access our website www.pantaenius.eu, your browser automatically sends information to the server of our website. This information is temporarily stored in a so-called log file. Your full IP address is not collected or stored by us. This address is collected / stored exclusively in a truncated and therefore anonymised form.
The following information is collected when accessing our website without any further action on your part and is erased after one year:
- Date and time of access;
- Name and URL of the accessed website;
- Website from which the request originated (referrer URL);
- Browser used and, if applicable, your computer’s operating system and the name of your access provider.
We need these data because:
- the smooth establishment of a connection to the website must be ensured.
- system security and stability needs to be assessed and monitored.
- various other administrative purposes are handled in this way.
Sentence 1 of Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR allows us to collect your data for these purposes (legal basis). Our legitimate interest is based on the purposes for data collection listed above.
We also use so-called cookies and other services when you visit our website. You can find more details about this below under “Cookies“ and “Analytics Tools”.
If you send us an email, we store your contact data and the content of the email and use them to process your query. Please note that an unencrypted email is not sufficiently protected from third parties gaining knowledge of, making changes to or erasing such data. If you do not wish to take this risk, please contact us by telephone.
Legal basis: Art. 6 (1) (b) and Art. 6 (1) (f). Our legitimate interest in processing your data is to provide you the opportunity to contact us via email. For compliance purposes, your data remain stored in a restricted access archive in our system for 6 years to 30 years.

- you have given your express consent for this (sentence 1 of Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR).

Cookies
Google Analytics
We use the analytics tool “Google Analytics” on our website in order to record and evaluate statistics regarding the use of our website and to continuously improve our offer on the basis of the results.
Google Analytics also uses cookies. The information about your use of our website obtained via the cookie is transferred to and stored on a Google server in the USA.
Google uses the information recorded in the cookies on our behalf in order to evaluate your use of our website. In this way we can, for example, compile reports about website activity and identify which pages are particularly accessed the most, where the access originates from and how long visitors spend on the pages. Pseudonymised user profiles can be created for the user from the processed data.
We only use Google Analytics with IP anonymisation activated. This means that your IP address is truncated by Google. IP addresses are already usually truncated in Europe. Only in exceptional circumstances will the full IP address be transferred to a Google server in the USA and truncated there.
We also use the remarketing or “similar target groups” function of Google.
We use this function to place interest-based, personalised adverts on third-party websites in the Google Display Network.
The legal basis is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest is the analysis, optimisation and the commercial operation of our website.
In order to enable this advertising service, Google stores a cookie on your device (e.g. your laptop) during your visit to our website via your web browser. This cookie collects details about your visit and use of our website (which pages you visited, how long you stayed on them, etc.) in an anonymised form. Personal data are not disclosed to third parties as a result of this. If, after visiting our website, you visit another website in the Google Display Network, you may see adverts that are connected to our website and that show the offers contained on our website.
Using cross-device marketing, Google can track your usage patterns, even across several devices, so that you may also be shown interest-related, personalised adverts if you change device, e.g. if you use your smartphone after using your laptop.
The data we send to Google and that is linked with cookies, user IDs or advertisement IDs are automatically deleted after 14 months. Data that have reached the end of the retention period are deleted automatically once a month.
Google provides more comprehensive information about Google Remarketing at http://www.google.com/privacy/ads/.
To the best of our knowledge, the IP address sent by your browser is not consolidated with any other data by Google.
If you do not wish Google to collect and use your cookies, you have the following options:
You can prevent the storage of cookies using the appropriate settings on your browser software.
You can also prevent Google from collecting the data created by the cookies and relating to your use of the website and you can prevent Google from processing such data by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en-GB
Google itself provides further opportunities for settings and objections so that you can influence how the data you have left on the internet is processed.

If we store data concerning you, you have the right to obtain information regarding a range of further points relating to how we handle your data, such as which data we store, the reason we process them and how long they are stored.
If we have inaccurate or incomplete data concerning you, you can request that we rectify such data (Art. 16 GDPR).
You can also request the erasure of your data (Art. 17 GDPR). However, there may be reasons for which we are not permitted or not required to erase your data. These reasons are set out by law. If you request us to erase your data, we will check whether any such exceptions apply. If not, we will erase your data.

To object, the above provision requires you to provide grounds “relating to your particular situation”.
If you wish to assert these rights, an email to dataprotection@pantaenius.com will suffice.

After the identity check, we will deal with your request and contact you without delay.
