Data processing
The provisions of EU GDPR and all other applicable data protection provisions will be observed when your personal data is processed. Legal principles for data processing are derived primarily from Art. 6 EU GDPR.
We use your data to initiate business, fulfil contractual and statutory obligations, continue the contractual relationship, offer products and services, and strengthen the customer relationship, which may also include analysis for marketing purposes and direct advertising.
Your consent is also a data protection authorisation requirement. Here we inform you of the purposes of data processing and of your right to object. If consent is also related to the processing of special categories of personal data, we will explicitly indicate this when consent is given.
Processing of special categories of personal data, as defined by Art. 9(1) EU GDPR, takes place only if there are legal requirements for doing so and there is no reason to assume that your legitimate interest in barring such processing should take precedence.
Please note that, if necessary, we also make information available separately, at an appropriate point, for specific processing situations, such as newsletter registration.
Nanowired GmbH is keen to maintain its customer relationship with you and to send you information and offers regarding our products and services. To this end, we process your data so that we can provide you with appropriate information and offers via e-mail.

We will pass your data to third parties only to the extent permitted by law or with the appropriate consent.

We store your data as long as it is necessary for the particular processing purpose. Please note that we continue to (must) store data due to multiple retention periods. This primarily concerns retention requirements under commercial and tax law (e.g. German Commercial Code, German Tax Code, etc.). Data is routinely deleted once its purpose is fulfilled, unless there are additional retention requirements.
Furthermore, we may retain data if you have given us permission to do so, or in the event of any legal disputes for which we use evidence subject to the statutory limitation periods, which may be up to 30 years, the standard limitation period being three years.
We implement appropriate technical and organisational security measures to provide the data we hold with optimal protection against accidental or intentional manipulation, loss, destruction or access by unauthorised persons.

Tracking
This website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service provided by Google Inc. ("Google"). Google Analytics uses cookies, which are text files that are stored on your computer and make it possible to analyse how you use the website. The data generated by the cookie about your use of this website is normally sent to a Google server in the USA, where it is stored. However, if IP anonymisation is activated on this website, your IP address is truncated in advance by Google within member states of the European Union or in other states that are signatories to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address sent to a Google server in the USA, where it is truncated. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to analyse your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity, and to provide other services for the website operator related to the use of the website and the internet. The IP address relayed by your browser within the scope of Google Analytics is not linked to other Google data. You can prevent cookies being stored by configuring your browser software accordingly, but please note that, if you do so, you may not be able to use all of this website’s functions in full.
The use of Google Analytics is based on your consent in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a EU GDPR, § 25 Para 1 TTDSG.
You can revoke your consent at any time for the future. To do this, simply open our consent banner and deselect the corresponding cookie(s).
Our website uses Google remarketing tags. These are services provided by Google Inc. (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; "Google"). Google uses cookies, which are stored on your computer and make it possible to analyse how you use the website. The data generated by the cookie about your use of this website (including IP address) is sent to a Google server in the USA, where it is stored. Google then truncates the last three digits of the IP address so that unique correlation of the IP address is no longer possible. Google uses this information to analyse your use of this website, compile reports on it for the website operator and provide services regarding your use of the internet and website. Google may also transfer this information to third parties where required by law or insofar as third parties process this data on behalf of Google. Third-party providers, including Google, place advertisements on internet websites and use stored cookies to place advertisements based on a user's previous visits to the website. Under no circumstances will Google link your IP address to other data held by Google.
Our website also uses Google conversion tracking. This involves Google AdWords placing a cookie on your computer if you have reached our site via a Google advertisement. These cookies are valid for 30 days and are not used to identify you personally. If you visit certain pages of our website before the cookie expires, we and Google can detect that you clicked on the advertisement and were taken to the page in question. Every AdWords customer is given a different cookie. Therefore, cookies cannot be tracked by AdWords customers across websites. The information obtained from conversion cookies is used to generate conversion statistics for AdWords customers who use conversion tracking. This is how we find out the total number of users who clicked on our advertisement and were taken to a page provided with a conversion tracking tag. However, we do not receive information that allows us to identify you personally. If you prefer not to be included in the tracking process, you can decline the use of the required cookies.
The use of Google AdWords remarketing and conversion tracking is based on your consent in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a EU GDPR, § 25 Para 1 TTDSG.
You can revoke your consent at any time for the future. To do this, simply open our consent banner and deselect the corresponding cookie(s).
