Privacy policy

This website gets by with very little data processing. What actually happens is set out here in full.

This is a courtesy translation. ALPS.Robotics operates from Germany; in the event of any discrepancy, the German version prevails.

1. Controller

The controller for data processing on this website within the meaning of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is:

NEXOS.Group, Andreas Trattler
Sonntagshornstraße 41
83278 Traunstein, Germany
Phone: +49 (0)8681 4793309
E-mail: info@alps-robotics.com

ALPS.Robotics is a brand of NEXOS.Group. Full details are in the imprint.

2. What this website does not do

Because data protection is easiest to explain through what has been left out, this comes first:

  • No external fonts. No Google Fonts or comparable services are loaded; the site uses the system fonts already on your device.
  • No embedded third-party content. There are no maps, no third-party video players, no social media widgets and no content served from a content delivery network.
  • No advertising, no remarketing, no profiling. Advertising-related functions are permanently switched off in our configuration.
  • No cookies without your consent. The server itself sets no cookies at all.

Links to external sites — to nexos.group, GitHub or our social media profiles, for instance — are ordinary links. Data is only transmitted once you click such a link and open the external site.

3. Visiting the website (server log files)

When you access this website, your browser transmits technically necessary data which the server records. In particular:

  • IP address of the requesting device
  • date and time of access
  • name and URL of the file retrieved
  • volume of data transferred and whether retrieval was successful
  • browser and operating system used, and the previously visited page (referrer), where transmitted

The purpose is delivering the website, ensuring system security and investigating faults. The legal basis is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR; our legitimate interest lies in technically sound and secure operation. This data is not combined with other data sources. Log data is deleted once it is no longer required for these purposes.

4. Hosting

This website does not run on our own servers. The host processes the data described under section 3 on our behalf under a data processing agreement pursuant to Article 28 GDPR. The site is served from a server located in Germany.

5. Cookies and consent

The server of this website sets no cookies. Cookies arise solely through Google Analytics 4 — and only if you expressly consent. Without consent the analytics script is not loaded at all, so no connection to Google is established either.

Your choice is stored in your browser’s local storage, not in a cookie; it does not leave your device. The legal basis for storage and access is § 25(1) TDDDG (the German act implementing the ePrivacy rules), and for the subsequent processing Article 6(1)(a) GDPR.

Which cookies these are in detail, with what lifetime, and how to withdraw your consent at any time is set out under cookie settings.

6. Audience measurement with Google Analytics 4

Following your consent we use Google Analytics 4 to understand which pages are visited and how visitors arrive at the site. The provider is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

In Google Analytics 4, IP anonymisation is built in and permanently active. For access from the EU, Google collects the data via domains and servers in the EU before forwarding it to the Analytics servers. A transfer to Google in the United States cannot be ruled out; see section 9.

The legal basis is your consent under Article 6(1)(a) GDPR in conjunction with § 25(1) TDDDG. You may withdraw it at any time with effect for the future — via the cookie settings.

7. Contact form

You can send us an enquiry using the form on the contact page. We process the details you enter — name, e-mail address, organisation and your message — along with technical transmission data.

On submission the form is transmitted directly to HubSpot, which we use as our customer management system. No HubSpot script is embedded in this website; a connection to HubSpot is established only at the moment you click “Send”. Until then your input stays on your device.

The purpose is handling your enquiry. The legal basis is your consent under Article 6(1)(a) GDPR, which you give expressly in the form, and Article 6(1)(b) GDPR where your enquiry is aimed at concluding a contract. We retain your enquiry until it has been dealt with conclusively and no statutory retention obligations stand in the way.

8. Contact by e-mail and telephone

If you contact us by e-mail or telephone, we process your details in order to deal with your request. The legal basis is Article 6(1)(b) GDPR for contract-related enquiries, otherwise Article 6(1)(f) GDPR based on our legitimate interest in responding.

9. Recipients and transfers to third countries

We pass your data only to the following recipients, who act for us as processors or service providers:

  • Host — operating and delivering the website (sections 3 and 4). Servers in Germany, no third-country transfer.
  • HubSpot — processing form enquiries (section 7). By its own account, HubSpot bases transfers to the United States on the EU-US Data Privacy Framework and, in addition, on the European Commission’s standard contractual clauses.
  • Google — audience measurement following consent (section 6). Google LLC is certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, for which the European Commission established an adequate level of protection by adequacy decision of 10 July 2023.

No further disclosure takes place; in particular, we do not sell data.

10. No automated decision-making

Automated decision-making, including profiling, within the meaning of Article 22 GDPR does not take place.

11. Your rights

You have the following rights in respect of your personal data:

  • Access (Article 15 GDPR)
  • Rectification of inaccurate data and completion of incomplete data (Article 16 GDPR)
  • Erasure (Article 17 GDPR)
  • Restriction of processing (Article 18 GDPR)
  • Data portability (Article 20 GDPR)
  • Objection to processing based on a legitimate interest (Article 21 GDPR)
  • Withdrawal of consent with effect for the future (Article 7(3) GDPR). The lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal remains unaffected.

An informal message to info@alps-robotics.com is sufficient to exercise them.

12. Right to lodge a complaint

Irrespective of the above, you have the right under Article 77 GDPR to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority. The authority responsible for us is:

Bayerisches Landesamt für Datenschutzaufsicht (BayLDA)
Promenade 18
91522 Ansbach, Germany
www.lda.bayern.de

13. Changes to this policy

We adapt this privacy policy whenever the underlying processing or the legal situation changes. The version published on this page applies in each case.
