Privacy Policy of Meypack Verpackungssystemtechnik GmbH

Thank you for your interest in our company. We take data protection seriously.

You can generally use our website without providing any personal data. However, if a data subject wishes to make use of our company’s services via our website, the processing of personal data may be necessary. If the processing of personal data is necessary and there is no legal basis for such processing, we will always obtain the consent of the data subject.

The processing of personal data (e.g. the name, address, email address or telephone number of a data subject) is always carried out in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and in compliance with the country-specific data protection regulations applicable to us.

With the following privacy policy, we wish to inform the public about the nature, scope and purpose of the personal data we collect, use and process. This privacy policy also informs data subjects of their rights.

As the data controller, we have implemented numerous technical and organisational measures to ensure the most comprehensive possible protection of the personal data processed via our website. However, data transmissions over the internet may, in principle, contain security vulnerabilities. Consequently, 100% protection cannot be guaranteed. Therefore, any data subject may, of course, alternatively provide us with personal data by other means, such as by telephone.

1. Definitions

This privacy policy is based on the definitions used by the European legislators when enacting the GDPR (Article 4 GDPR). This privacy policy is intended to be both easy to read and easy to understand for everyone. You can access the GDPR via the following link:

http://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/DE/TXT/PDF/?uri=CELEX:32016R0679&from=DE

The aim of our privacy policy is to inform you in a simple and understandable manner about the processing of your personal data on our websites and via our apps. To ensure this, we would first like to explain the terms used. This privacy policy uses the following definitions, amongst others:

· “personal data” means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (hereinafter “data subject”); a natural person is considered identifiable if they can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person;

· “data subject” means any identified or identifiable natural person whose personal data is processed by the controller.

· “processing” means any operation or set of operations which is performed on personal data, whether or not by automated means, such as collection, recording, organisation, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, retrieval, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure or destruction;

· “restriction of processing” means the marking of stored personal data with the aim of limiting their future processing;

· “profiling” means any form of automated processing of personal data consisting of the use of such personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to analyse or predict aspects concerning that natural person’s performance at work, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behaviour, location or movements;

· “controller” means the natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data; where the purposes and means of such processing are determined by Union or Member State law, the controller or the specific criteria for its nomination may be provided for by Union or Member State law;

· “recipient” means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body to whom personal data are disclosed, irrespective of whether they are a third party or not. However, public authorities which may receive personal data in the framework of a specific inquiry mandate under Union law or the law of the Member States shall not be regarded as recipients; the processing of such data by the aforementioned authorities shall be carried out in accordance with the applicable data protection rules in accordance with the purposes of the processing;

· “third party” means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body, other than the data subject, the controller, the processor and the persons who, under the direct authority of the controller or the processor, are authorised to process the personal data;

· “Consent” of the data subject means any freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous indication of the data subject’s wishes by which he or she, by a statement or by a clear affirmative action, signifies agreement to the processing of personal data relating to him or her.

5. Collection and storage of personal data, as well as the nature and purpose of its use

a) When visiting the website

You can generally use our website without disclosing your identity. When you visit our website, the browser used on your device automatically sends information to our website’s server. This information is temporarily stored in a so-called log file. The following information is collected automatically without any action on your part and stored until it is automatically deleted:

  • IP address of the requesting computer,
  • date and time of access,
  • name and URL of the file accessed,
  • website from which access is made (referrer URL),
  • browser used and, where applicable, your computer’s operating system, as well as the name of your internet service provider.

We process the aforementioned data for the following purposes:

  • to ensure the website connects smoothly,
  • to ensure a user-friendly experience on our website,
  • to evaluate system security and stability, and
  • for other administrative purposes.

The legal basis for data processing is Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. Our legitimate interest arises from the purposes for data collection listed above. Under no circumstances do we use the collected data for the purpose of drawing conclusions about your identity.

Furthermore, we use cookies and analytics services when you visit our website. You can find further details on this in sections 9 and 11 of this privacy policy.

b) When using our contact form

If you have any questions, we offer you the option of contacting us via a form provided on our website. You must provide a valid email address so that we know who the enquiry is from and can respond to it. Further details may be provided voluntarily. It is entirely up to you whether you wish to enter this data via the contact form.

Data processing for the purpose of contacting us is carried out in accordance with Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR on the basis of your voluntary consent.

The personal data collected by us for the use of the contact form will be automatically deleted once your enquiry has been dealt with.

c) When placing orders via our website

You can either place orders via our website as a guest without registering, or register as a customer in our shop for future orders. Registering offers you the advantage that, in the event of a future order, you can log in directly to our shop using your email address and password without having to re-enter your contact details.

Your personal data is entered into a form, transmitted to us and stored. When you place an order via our website, we initially collect the following data, whether you are placing a guest order or registering in the shop:

  • Title, first name, surname,
  • a valid email address,
  • postal address,
  • telephone number (landline and/or mobile)

This data is collected

  • to identify you as our customer;
  • to process, fulfil and complete your order;
  • to correspond with you;
  • for invoicing purposes;
  • to handle any liability claims that may arise, as well as to assert any claims against you;
  • to ensure the technical administration of our website;

  • to manage customer data.

    As part of the ordering process, your consent to the processing of this data is obtained.

    Data processing takes place following your order and/or registration and is necessary, in accordance with Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR, for the purposes stated, for the proper processing of your order and for the mutual fulfilment of obligations arising from the sales contract.

    The personal data collected by us for the processing of your order will be stored until the expiry of the statutory retention period and then deleted, unless we are obliged to store it for a longer period under Article 6(1)(c) of the GDPR due to retention and documentation obligations under tax and commercial law (under the German Commercial Code (HGB), the German Criminal Code (StGB) or the German Fiscal Code (AO)), or unless you have consented to further storage in accordance with Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR.

    6. Further details on the legal basis for processing

    Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR serves as the legal basis for Meypack Verpackungssystemtechnik GmbH for processing operations where consent must be obtained for a specific processing purpose. If the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, the processing is based on Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR. The same applies to processing operations necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures, for example in cases of enquiries regarding our services and products. If Meypack Verpackungssystemtechnik GmbH is subject to a legal obligation requiring the processing of personal data, the processing is based on Article 6(1)(c) of the GDPR. In rare cases, the processing of personal data may be necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person. In this case, the processing is based on Article 6(1)(d) of the GDPR. Furthermore, processing operations may be based on Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. This legal basis applies to processing operations not covered by any of the aforementioned legal bases where processing is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest of Meypack Verpackungssystemtechnik GmbH or a third party, provided that the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not override those interests. We are permitted to carry out such processing operations in particular because they have been specifically mentioned by the European legislator (see Recital 47, sentence 2 of the GDPR).

    7. Taking legitimate interests into account

    Where the processing of personal data is based on Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR, the legitimate interest of Meypack Verpackungssystemtechnik GmbH is the conduct and fulfilment of our business activities for the benefit of our employees and shareholders.

    8. Disclosure of data

    We will only disclose your personal data to third parties to service providers involved in the performance of the contract, such as the logistics company responsible for delivery and the bank responsible for payment matters. However, where your personal data is disclosed to third parties, the scope of the data transferred is limited to the minimum necessary.

    When paying via PayPal, credit card via PayPal, direct debit via PayPal or ‘purchase on account’ via PayPal, we pass on your payment details to PayPal (Europe) S.à r.l. et Cie, S.C.A., 22-24 Boulevard Royal, L-2449 Luxembourg (hereinafter ‘PayPal’) for the purposes of payment processing. PayPal reserves the right to carry out a credit check for the payment methods credit card via PayPal, direct debit via PayPal or “purchase on account” via PayPal. PayPal uses the result of the credit check, which relates to the statistical probability of payment default, to decide whether to provide the respective payment method. The credit report may contain probability values (so-called score values). Where score values are included in the result of the credit check, these are based on a scientifically recognised mathematical-statistical method. The calculation of the score values includes, amongst other things, address data. Further information regarding data protection can be found in the PayPal Privacy Policy: https://www.paypal.com/de/webapps/mpp/ua/privacy-full

    Your personal data will not be transferred to third parties for purposes other than those mentioned above.

    We will only disclose your personal data to third parties if:

    • you have given your explicit consent to this in accordance with Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR,
    • the disclosure is necessary in accordance with Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims, and there is no reason to assume that you have an overriding legitimate interest in the non-disclosure of your data,
    • in the event that there is a legal obligation to disclose data pursuant to Article 6(1)(c) of the GDPR, and
    • this is permitted by law and necessary under Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR for the performance of contractual relationships with you.

    As part of the ordering process, your consent to the disclosure of your data to third parties will be sought.

    9. Use of cookies

    We use cookies on our website. These are small files that your browser creates automatically and which are stored on your device (laptop, tablet, smartphone, etc.)

when you visit our website. Cookies do not cause any damage to your device and do not contain viruses, Trojans or other malware.

Information is stored in the cookie that relates to the specific device used. However, this does not mean that we thereby gain direct knowledge of your identity.

The use of cookies serves, on the one hand, to make the use of our website more convenient for you. For example, we use so-called session cookies to recognise that you have already visited individual pages of our website. These are automatically deleted when you leave our site.

In addition, we also use temporary cookies to optimise user-friendliness; these are stored on your device for a specific, defined period. If you visit our site again to use our services, the system automatically recognises that you have previously visited us and recalls the entries and settings you made, so that you do not have to re-enter them.

We also use cookies to collect statistical data on the use of our website and to evaluate this data for the purpose of optimising our offering for you (see section 7). These cookies enable us to automatically recognise that you have previously visited our site when you return. These cookies are automatically deleted after a defined period of time.

The data processed by cookies is necessary for the aforementioned purposes to safeguard our legitimate interests and those of third parties in accordance with Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR.

Most browsers accept cookies automatically. However, you can configure your browser so that no cookies are stored on your computer or so that a notification always appears before a new cookie is created. However, completely disabling cookies may mean that you cannot use all the functions of our website.

10. Links to third-party websites

The links published on our website are researched and compiled by us with the greatest possible care. However, we have no influence over the current and future design and content of the linked pages. We are not responsible for the content of the linked pages and expressly do not adopt the content of these pages as our own. The provider of the website to which reference is made is solely liable for illegal, incorrect or incomplete content, as well as for any damage arising from the use or non-use of the information. Liability on the part of anyone who merely refers to the publication via a link is excluded. We are only responsible for third-party references if we have actual knowledge of them, i.e. including any unlawful or criminal content, and it is technically possible and reasonable for us to prevent their use.

11. Analysis and Tracking Tools

The tracking measures listed below and used by us are carried out on the basis of Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. We use these tracking measures to ensure that our website is designed to meet your needs and to continuously optimise it. Furthermore, we use these tracking measures to statistically record the use of our website and to evaluate it for the purpose of optimising our offering for you. These interests are to be regarded as legitimate within the meaning of the aforementioned provision.

The respective data processing purposes and data categories can be found in the relevant tracking tools.

a) Google Analytics1

For the purpose of designing our pages to meet your needs and continuously optimising them, we use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc. (https://www.google.de/intl/de/about/) (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; hereinafter “Google”) . In this context, pseudonymised user profiles are created and cookies (see section 5) are used. The information generated by the cookie regarding your use of this website, such as

  • browser type/version,
  • operating system used,
  • referrer URL (the previously visited page),
  • hostname of the accessing computer (IP address),
  • time of the server request,

are transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. The information is used to evaluate the use of the website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide other services relating to website and internet usage for the purposes of market research and the needs-based design of these web pages. This information may also be transferred to third parties where required by law or where third parties process this data on behalf of Google. Under no circumstances will your IP address be merged with other data held by Google. IP addresses are anonymised so that they cannot be traced back to you (IP masking).

You can prevent the installation of cookies by adjusting your browser settings accordingly; however, we would like to point out that in this case, you may not be able to use all the functions of our website to their full extent.

You can also prevent the collection of data generated by the cookie and relating to your use of the website (including your IP address), as well as the processing of this data by Google, by downloading and installing a browser add-on (https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de).

As an alternative to the browser add-on, particularly for browsers on mobile devices, you can also prevent data collection by Google Analytics by clicking on the link provided above. An opt-out cookie will be set, which prevents the future collection of your data 

when you visit our website. The opt-out cookie applies only to this browser and only to our website, and is stored on your device. If you delete the cookies in this browser, you will need to set the opt-out cookie again.

Further information on data protection in connection with Google Analytics can be found via the following link in the Google Analytics Help Centre: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245?hl=de

b) Google AdWords Conversion Tracking

We also use Google Conversion Tracking to collect statistical data on the use of our website and to evaluate this data for the purpose of optimising our website for you. In this process, Google AdWords places a cookie (see section 5) on your computer if you have arrived at our website via a Google advert.

These cookies expire after 30 days and are not used for personal identification. If the user visits certain pages on the AdWords customer’s website and the cookie has not yet expired, Google and the customer can recognise that the user clicked on the advert and was redirected to that page.

Each AdWords customer receives a different cookie. Cookies cannot therefore be tracked across the websites of AdWords customers. The information collected using the conversion cookie is used to generate conversion statistics for AdWords customers who have opted for conversion tracking. AdWords customers are informed of the total number of users who clicked on their advert and were redirected to a page tagged with a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not receive any information that can be used to personally identify users.

If you do not wish to participate in the tracking process, you can also refuse the setting of the cookie required for this purpose – for example, via a browser setting that generally deactivates the automatic setting of cookies. You can also deactivate cookies for conversion tracking by configuring your browser to block cookies from the domain “www.googleadservices.com”. Google’s privacy policy on conversion tracking can be found at the following link: https://services.google.com/sitestats/de.html

12. Social media plugins

We use social media plugins from social networks (e.g. Facebook, Twitter, Google+) on our website on the basis of Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR to raise awareness of our company. The underlying promotional purpose is to be regarded as a legitimate interest within the meaning of the GDPR. Responsibility for ensuring compliance with data protection regulations lies with the respective providers. We integrate these plugins using the so-called two-click method to provide the best possible protection for visitors to our website.

a) Facebook

We use Facebook social media plugins on our website to make the user experience more personalised. For this purpose, we use the “LIKE” or “SHARE” button. This is a service provided by Facebook.

When you visit a page on our website that contains such a plugin, your browser establishes a direct connection with Facebook’s servers. The content of the plugin is transmitted directly from Facebook to your browser and integrated into the website by it.

By integrating the plugins, Facebook receives the information that your browser has accessed the relevant page of our website, even if you do not have a Facebook account or are not currently logged in to Facebook. This information (including your IP address) is transmitted directly from your browser to a Facebook server in the USA and stored there.

If you are logged in to Facebook, Facebook can directly associate your visit to our website with your Facebook account. If you interact with the plugins, for example by clicking the ‘LIKE’ or ‘SHARE’ button, the relevant information is also transmitted directly to a Facebook server and stored there. The information is also published on Facebook where it is visible to everyone.

Facebook may use this information for the purposes of advertising, market research and the customisation of Facebook pages. To this end, Facebook creates usage, interest and relationship profiles, e.g. to evaluate your use of our website in relation to the advertisements displayed to you on Facebook, to inform other Facebook users about your activities on our website, and to provide other services associated with the use of Facebook.

If you do not want Facebook to associate the data collected via our website with your Facebook account, you must log out of Facebook before visiting our website.

For information on the purpose and scope of data collection, as well as the further processing and use of data by Facebook, and your rights in this regard and settings options for protecting your privacy, please refer to the privacy policy, in particular Facebook’s data policy, which you can view via the following link: https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/

b) Twitter

Plugins from the short-message network of Twitter Inc. (Twitter) are integrated into our website. You can recognise the Twitter plugins (tweet button) by the Twitter logo on our site. You can find an overview of tweet buttons via this link on Twitter: https://dev.twitter.com/web/tweet-button

When you visit a page on our website that contains such a plugin, a direct connection is established between your browser and the Twitter server. Twitter thereby receives the information that you have visited our site using your IP address. If you click the Twitter ‘tweet’ button whilst logged into your Twitter account, you can link the content of our 

pages to your Twitter profile. This allows Twitter to associate your visit to our pages with your user account. Please note that, as the provider of these pages, we have no knowledge of the content of the data transmitted or how it is used by Twitter.

If you do not wish Twitter to be able to associate your visit to our site, please log out of your Twitter account.

Further information on this can be found in Twitter’s privacy policy, which you can view here: https://twitter.com/de/privacy

c) Google ‘+1’ button

Our website uses the “+1” button from the Google social network, which is operated by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA. The button is marked with a “+1”.

The “+1” button is a shorthand for “that’s pretty cool” or “check this out”. The button is not used to track your visits to the web.

If a webpage on our website contains the “+1” button, your web browser will load and display this button from the Google server. The page you visit on our website is automatically communicated to the Google server. When a +1 button is displayed, Google does not permanently log your browsing history, but only for a period of up to two weeks.

Google stores this data regarding your visit for this period for system maintenance and troubleshooting purposes. However, this data is not organised according to individual profiles, usernames or URLs. This information is also not accessible to website publishers or advertisers. The use of this information serves only for maintenance and troubleshooting within Google’s internal systems. Your visit to a page with a +1 button is also not analysed by Google in any other way.

No further analysis of your visit to a webpage on our website featuring a ‘+1’ button takes place.

The act of giving a +1 itself is a public process, i.e. anyone who performs a Google search or views content on the web that you have given a +1 to can potentially see that you have given that content a +1. Therefore, only give a +1 if you are absolutely certain that you wish to share this recommendation with the whole world.

Clicking this +1 button serves as a recommendation for other users in Google’s search results. You can publicly indicate that you like our website, that you approve of our website, or that you can recommend our website. If you have registered with Google+ and are logged in, the +1 button turns blue when clicked. In addition, the +1 will be added to the +1 tab in your Google profile. On this tab, you can manage your +1s and decide whether you want to make the +1 tab public.

In order to save your +1 recommendation and make it publicly accessible, Google collects information via your profile about the URL you have recommended, your IP address and other browser-related information. If you withdraw your +1, this information will be deleted. All your +1 recommendations are listed on the +1 tab in your profile.

Further information and Google’s applicable privacy policy can be found at https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/. Further information from Google regarding the Google +1 button can be found at the link https://developers.google.com/+/web/buttons-policy

    14. Right to object

    Where your personal data is processed on the basis of legitimate interests pursuant to Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR, you have the right, pursuant to Article 21 of the GDPR, to object to the processing of your personal data, provided there are grounds arising from your particular situation or the objection relates to direct marketing. In the latter case, you have a general right to object, which we will implement without you needing to specify a particular situation.

    If you wish to exercise your right of withdrawal or right to object, simply send an email to: info@meypack.de.

    15. Data security

    During your visit to the website, we use the widely adopted SSL (Secure Socket Layer) protocol in conjunction with the highest encryption level supported by your browser. This is usually 256-bit encryption. If your browser does not support 256-bit encryption, we will use 128-bit v3 technology instead. You can tell whether a particular page of our website is being transmitted in encrypted form by the closed representation of the key or padlock symbol in the status bar at the bottom of your browser.

    We also employ appropriate technical and organisational security measures to protect your data against accidental or deliberate manipulation, partial or complete loss, destruction or unauthorised access by third parties. Our security measures are continuously improved in line with technological developments.

    16. Validity and amendments to this privacy policy

    This privacy policy is currently valid and is dated March 2026.

    Due to the further development of our website and the services offered on it, or due to changes in legal or regulatory requirements, it may become necessary to amend this privacy policy.
