2) Data collection when you visit our Website
2.1 When you use our Website for informational purposes only—i.e., if you do not register or otherwise transmit information to us—we collect only the data that your browser transmits to the server (so-called “server log files”). When you access our Website, we collect the following data, which is technically necessary for us to display the Website to you:
-
Our visited Website
-
Date and time of access
-
Amount of data transmitted in bytes
-
Source/referrer from which you reached the page
-
Browser used
-
Operating system used
-
IP address used (if applicable: in anonymized form)
Processing is carried out in accordance with Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest in improving the stability and functionality of our Website. The data is not passed on or used in any other way. However, we reserve the right to subsequently review the server log files if there are concrete indications of unlawful use.
2.2 For security reasons and to protect the transmission of personal data and other confidential content (e.g., orders or inquiries to the controller), this Website uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the character string “https://” and the lock symbol in your browser’s address bar.
2.3 Navigation data
This includes data about your computer or other device you use and your visits to our Website, e.g., IP address, date and time of the request, content of the request (specific page), access status/HTTP status code, amount of data transferred in each case, Website from which the request originates, the user’s operating system, language and version of the browser software. This data is stored temporarily in our system log files for a maximum of 7 days. Longer storage is possible; in this case, IP addresses are partially deleted or anonymized so that the accessing client can no longer be assigned. Such navigation data may therefore contain personal data.
2.4 Manufacturers
Our portfolio and our Website contain products whose manufacturers are not ourselves. This means we must share the necessary customer data with these manufacturers so that we can process your requests.
Accordingly, the terms and conditions of the following third party providers may also apply to you:
https://privacy.microsoft.com/de-DE/privacy
Appropriate agreements have been concluded with all manufacturers, which also ensure data protection under EU law.
2.5 Customer references and quotations
We will publish customer references and quotations on our Website only with written consent; these may also contain personal data.
2.6 External websites
Our Website may contain links to other websites operated by third parties. Interlake has no control over their content and practices and assumes no responsibility for them. This privacy policy does not apply to these other websites, which have their own terms and policies.
3) Hosting & Content Delivery Network
To host our Website and display page content, we use a provider that performs its services itself or through selected subcontractors exclusively on servers within the European Union.
All data collected on our Website is processed on these servers.
We have concluded a data processing agreement with the provider, which ensures the protection of our Website visitors’ data and prohibits unauthorized disclosure to third parties.
4) Cookies
To make visiting our Website attractive and to enable the use of certain functions, we use cookies—small text files that are stored on your end device. Some of these cookies are automatically deleted when you close your browser (so-called “session cookies”); others remain on your end device for longer and enable the storage of page settings (so-called “persistent cookies”). In the latter case, you can find the storage duration in the overview of cookie settings in your web browser.
If personal data is also processed by individual cookies we use, the processing is carried out in accordance with Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR either for the performance of the contract, in accordance with Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR in the case of consent having been given, or in accordance with Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR to safeguard our legitimate interests in the best possible functionality of the Website and in a customer-friendly and effective design of the site visit.
You can set your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies and decide individually on their acceptance, or exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general.
Please note that if cookies are not accepted, the functionality of our Website may be limited.

The legal basis for processing this data is our legitimate interest in responding to your request pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. If your contact is aimed at concluding a contract, the additional legal basis for processing is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR. Your data will be deleted after final processing of your request. This is the case when it can be inferred from the circumstances that the matter in question has been conclusively clarified and provided that no statutory retention obligations conflict.
6) Comment function
As part of the comment function on this Website, in addition to your comment, details of the time the comment was created and the commentator name you chose will be stored and published on this Website. Furthermore, your IP address is recorded and stored. This storage of the IP address is carried out for security reasons and in the event that the data subject infringes the rights of third parties or posts unlawful content by submitting a comment. We need your email address in order to contact you if a third party should object to your published content as unlawful.
The legal bases for storing your data are Art. 6(1)(b) and (f) GDPR. We reserve the right to delete comments if they are objected to by third parties as unlawful.
7) Use of customer data for direct marketing
7.1 Subscription to our email newsletter
If you subscribe to our email newsletter, we will regularly send you information about our offers. The only mandatory information for sending the newsletter is your email address. Providing further data is voluntary and is used in order to address you personally. We use the so-called double opt-in procedure to send the newsletter. This means that we will only send you an email newsletter once you have expressly confirmed that you consent to receiving the newsletter. We then send you a confirmation email asking you to confirm, by clicking a corresponding link, that you wish to receive the newsletter in the future.
By activating the confirmation link, you give us your consent to use your personal data pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR. When you register for the newsletter, we store the IP address entered by your Internet service provider (ISP) and the date and time of registration in order to be able to trace any possible misuse of your email address at a later point in time. The data collected by us when registering for the newsletter is used exclusively for the purpose of promotional communication via the newsletter. You can unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time via the link provided in the newsletter or by sending a corresponding message to the controller named at the beginning. After unsubscribing, your email address will be deleted immediately from our newsletter distribution list, unless you have expressly consented to further use of your data or we reserve the right to use your data beyond this, which is permitted by law and about which we inform you in this policy.

9) Web analytics services
9.1 Google Analytics 4
This Website uses Google Analytics 4, a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland (“Google”), which enables an analysis of your use of our Website.
By default, when you visit the Website, Google Analytics 4 sets cookies that are stored on your end device as small text modules and collect certain information. This information also includes your IP address, which is shortened by Google by the last digits to prevent direct personal identification.
The information is transmitted to Google servers and further processed there. Transfers to Google LLC, based in the USA, are also possible.
Google uses the collected information on our behalf to evaluate your use of the Website, to compile reports on Website activities for us, and to provide other services related to Website and Internet usage. The shortened IP address transmitted by your browser within the scope of Google Analytics is not merged with other Google data. The data collected within the scope of Google Analytics 4 is stored for two months and then deleted.
All processing described above, in particular the setting of cookies on the device used, is carried out only if you have given us your express consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR. Without your consent, Google Analytics 4 will not be used during your visit to the Website. You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future. To exercise your right of revocation, please deactivate this service via the “cookie consent tool” provided on the Website.
We have concluded a data processing agreement with Google, which ensures the protection of our Website visitors’ data and prohibits unauthorized disclosure to third parties.
Further legal information on Google Analytics 4 can be found at https://business.safety.google/intl/de/privacy/, https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de&gl=de and at https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites
Demographic features
Google Analytics 4 uses the special “demographics” feature and can create statistics that make statements about the age, gender and interests of Website visitors. This is done by analyzing advertising and information from third-party providers. This allows target groups for marketing activities to be identified. However, the collected data cannot be assigned to a specific person and is deleted after being stored for two months.
Google Signals
As an extension to Google Analytics 4, Google Signals may be used on this Website to create cross-device reports. If you have enabled personalized ads and linked your devices with your Google account, Google may—subject to your consent to the use of Google Analytics pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR—analyze your usage behavior across devices and create database models, including for cross-device conversions. We do not receive any personal data from Google, only statistics. If you want to stop cross-device analysis, you can disable the “Personalized advertising” feature in your Google account settings. Follow the instructions on this page: https://support.google.com/ads/answer/2662922?hl=de Further information about Google Signals can be found at: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/7532985?hl=de

As an extension to Google Analytics 4, the “User IDs” function may be used on this Website. If you have consented to the use of Google Analytics 4 pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR, created an account on this Website, and sign in to this account on different devices, your activities, including conversions, can be analyzed across devices.
For transfers of data to the USA, the provider has joined the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, which ensures compliance with the European level of data protection on the basis of an adequacy decision of the European Commission.
9.2 Google Tag Manager
This Website uses the “Google Tag Manager”, a service of the following provider: Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (hereinafter “Google”).
Google Tag Manager provides a technical basis to bundle various web applications, including tracking and analytics services, and to calibrate, control and link them to conditions via a uniform user interface. Google Tag Manager itself does not store any information on user devices and does not read it. Nor does the service carry out independent data analyses. However, when a page is accessed, Google Tag Manager transmits your IP address to Google and may store it there. A transfer to servers of Google LLC in the USA is also possible.
This processing is carried out only if you have given us your express consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR. Without such consent, Google Tag Manager will not be used during your visit to the Website. You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future. To exercise your revocation, please deactivate this service in the “cookie consent tool” provided on the Website.

This Website uses the web analytics service of the following provider: Microsoft Corporation, One Microsoft Way, Redmond, WA 98052-6399, USA.
Using cookies and/or comparable technologies (tracking pixels, web beacons, algorithms for reading end device and browser information), the service collects and stores pseudonymized visitor data, including information about the device used such as the IP address and browser information, in order to evaluate it for statistical analyses of user behavior on our Website and to create pseudonymized user profiles. Among other things, this makes it possible to evaluate movement patterns (so-called heatmaps), which show the duration of page visits and interactions with page content (e.g., text entries, scrolling, clicks, and mouse-overs). Pseudonymization generally excludes direct personal identification. There is no merging with clear data about your person collected in any other way.
All processing described above, in particular the reading or storage of information on the device used, is carried out only if you have given us your express consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR. You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future by deactivating this service via the “cookie consent tool” provided on the Website.

9.4 Matomo
This Website uses a web analytics service from the following provider: InnoCraft Ltd., 150 Willis St, 6011 Wellington, New Zealand (“Matomo”).
To protect Website visitors, Matomo uses a so-called “config_id” to enable various analyses of Website use within a short time window of up to 24 hours. The “config_id” is a randomly set, time-limited hash of a limited set of visitor settings and attributes. The config_id or config hash is a string calculated for a visitor based on their operating system, browser, browser plugins, IP address, and browser language. Matomo does not use device fingerprinting and uses an anonymized IP address of the Website visitor to create the “config_id”.
If the information processed in this way includes personal usage data, processing is carried out in accordance with Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest in the statistical analysis of user behavior for optimization and marketing purposes. To object to the processing of your visitor data in the future, we provide a separate opt-out option on our Website.
Data is transferred to the provider only if the service is not hosted on our own servers. If self-hosted, no data collected via the service is transferred to the provider.
If the service is not hosted on our own servers, we have concluded a data processing agreement with the provider, which ensures the protection of our Website visitors’ data and prohibits unauthorized disclosure to third parties.

10) Retargeting/remarketing and conversion tracking
10.1 Meta Pixel
Within our online offering, we use the “Meta Pixel” service of the following provider: Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Quay, Dublin 2, Ireland (“Meta”).
If a user clicks on an advertisement placed by us on Facebook and/or Instagram, “Meta Pixel” adds a parameter to the URL of our linked page. After the redirect, this URL parameter is stored in the user’s browser by a cookie set by our linked page.
This enables Meta, on the one hand, to determine visitors to our online offering as a target group for the display of advertisements (“ads”). Accordingly, we use the service to display our Facebook and/or Instagram ads only to those users who have also shown an interest in our online offering or who have certain characteristics (e.g., interests in certain topics or products determined based on visited webpages) that we transmit to Meta (“Custom Audiences”).
On the other hand, the “Meta Pixel” can be used to track whether users were redirected to our Website after clicking on an ad and which actions they perform there (“conversion tracking”).
The data collected is anonymous for us, meaning it does not allow us to draw conclusions about the identity of users. However, the data is stored and processed by Meta so that a connection to the respective user profile is possible and Meta can use the data for its own advertising purposes.
All processing described above, in particular the setting of cookies for reading information on the device used, is carried out only if you have given us your express consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR. You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future by deactivating this service via the “cookie consent tool” provided on the Website.
We have concluded a data processing agreement with the provider, which ensures the protection of our Website visitors’ data and prohibits unauthorized disclosure to third parties.
The information generated by Meta is generally transferred to and stored on a Meta server; in this context, it may also be transferred to servers of Meta Platforms Inc. in the USA.
For transfers of data to the USA, the provider has joined the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, which ensures compliance with the European level of data protection on the basis of an adequacy decision of the European Commission.
10.2 LinkedIn Insight
This Website uses retargeting technology from the following provider: LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company, Wilton Place, Dublin 2, Ireland.
This makes it possible to address visitors to our internet pages with targeted, personalized, interest-based advertising who have already shown interest in our shop and our products. The advertising media are displayed based on a cookie-based analysis of previous and current user behavior; however, no personal data is stored. In cases of retargeting technology, a cookie is stored on your computer or mobile device to collect pseudonymized data about your interests and thus tailor advertising individually to the stored information. These cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer or mobile device. This way, you are shown advertising that is highly likely to correspond to your product and information interests.
All processing described above, in particular the setting of cookies for reading information on the device used, is carried out only if you have given us your express consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR. Without such consent, retargeting technology will not be used during your visit to the Website.
You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future. To exercise your revocation, please deactivate this service via the “cookie consent tool” provided on the Website.
11) Site functionalities
11.1 YouTube
This Website uses plugins to display and play videos from the following provider: Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland.
Data may also be transferred to: Google LLC, USA.
When you access a page of our website that contains such a plugin, your browser establishes a direct connection to the provider’s servers no later than at the time of video playback in order to load the content. Certain information, including your IP address, is transmitted to the provider.
If playback of embedded videos is started via the plugin, the provider also uses cookies to collect information about user behavior, compile playback statistics, and prevent abusive behavior.
If you are logged into a user account with the provider during your visit to the Website, your data will be assigned directly to your account when you click on a video. If you do not want your data to be assigned to your account, you must log out before activating the playback button.
All processing described above, in particular the setting of cookies for reading information on the device used, is carried out only if you have given us your express consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR. You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future by deactivating this service via the “cookie consent tool” provided on the Website.
For transfers of data to the USA, the provider has joined the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, which ensures compliance with the European level of data protection on the basis of an adequacy decision of the European Commission.
11.2 Google reCAPTCHA
On this Website we use the CAPTCHA service of the following provider: Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland.
Data may also be transferred to: Google LLC, USA.
For the visual design of the captcha window, “Google Fonts” are used—fonts downloaded from Google via the internet. No processing of additional information beyond what is already transmitted to Google through the functionality of reCAPTCHA takes place.
The service checks whether an entry is made by a natural person or abusively by machine and automated processing, and blocks spam, DDoS attacks, and similar automated malicious access. To ensure that an action is performed by a human and not by an automated bot, the provider collects the IP address of the device used, identification data of the browser and operating system type used, as well as the date and duration of the visit, and transmits this for evaluation to the provider’s servers. Cookies may be used in this process, i.e., small text files stored in the browser of the device.
If the processing described above is based on cookies, these are set only if you have given us your express consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR. You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future by deactivating this service via the “cookie consent tool” provided on the Website.
If the processing described above is carried out without the use of cookies, the legal basis is our legitimate interest in determining individual responsibility on the internet and preventing abuse and spam pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.
We have concluded a data processing agreement with the provider, which ensures the protection of our Website visitors’ data and prohibits unauthorized disclosure to third parties.
For transfers of data to the USA, the provider has joined the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, which ensures compliance with the European level of data protection on the basis of an adequacy decision of the European Commission.

12) Tools and other matters
Cookie consent tool
This Website uses a so-called “cookie consent tool” to obtain effective user consents for cookies requiring consent and cookie-based applications. The “cookie consent tool” is displayed to users when a page is accessed in the form of an interactive user interface, in which consent for certain cookies and/or cookie-based applications can be granted by ticking boxes. Through the use of the tool, all cookies/services requiring consent are loaded only if the user grants the relevant consents by ticking the boxes. This ensures that such cookies are set on the user’s device only if consent has been given.
The tool sets technically necessary cookies to store your cookie preferences. As a rule, personal user data is not processed in this context.
If, in individual cases, personal data (such as the IP address) is processed for the purpose of storing, assigning, or logging cookie settings, this is carried out in accordance with Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest in legally compliant, user-specific, and user-friendly consent management for cookies and thus in a legally compliant design of our online presence.
Another legal basis for processing is Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR. As the controller, we are subject to the legal obligation to make the use of technically non-essential cookies dependent on the user’s consent.
Where necessary, we have concluded a data processing agreement with the provider, which ensures the protection of our Website visitors’ data and prohibits unauthorized disclosure to third parties.
Further information about the operator and the settings options of the cookie consent tool can be found directly in the relevant user interface on our Website.

The duration of storage of personal data is determined by the respective legal basis, the purpose of processing, and—where applicable—also by the respective statutory retention period (e.g., retention periods under commercial and tax law).
When personal data is processed on the basis of express consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR, the data concerned is stored until you revoke your consent.
If statutory retention periods exist for data that is processed within the scope of contractual or quasi-contractual obligations on the basis of Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR, such data will be routinely deleted after expiry of the retention periods, provided it is no longer required for contract performance or contract initiation and/or we no longer have a legitimate interest in continued storage.
When personal data is processed on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, such data will be stored until you exercise your right to object pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR, unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims.
When personal data is processed for direct marketing purposes on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, such data will be stored until you exercise your right to object pursuant to Art. 21(2) GDPR.
Unless otherwise stated in the other information in this policy about specific processing situations, stored personal data will otherwise be deleted when it is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected or otherwise processed.
