Cookies
Our websites use so-called “cookies”. Cookies are small data packages and do not cause any damage to your device. They are stored either temporarily for the duration of a session (session cookies) or permanently (permanent cookies) on your device. Session cookies are automatically deleted after the end of your visit. Permanent cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them yourself or until they are automatically deleted by your web browser. Cookies may originate from us (first-party cookies) or from third-party companies (so-called third-party cookies). Third-party cookies enable the integration of certain services of third-party companies within websites.
Cookies have various functions. Numerous cookies are technically necessary (“essential cookies”), as certain website functions would not work without them (e.g. storage of your cookie consent or basic security functions of the website). Other cookies may be used to analyze user behavior or for advertising purposes. Cookies that are required for carrying out the electronic communication process or for providing certain functions you have requested (essential cookies) are stored on the basis of Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR, unless another legal basis is specified. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing necessary cookies for the technically error-free and optimized provision of its services. If consent to the storage of cookies and comparable recognition technologies has been requested, processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of this consent (Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR and Section 25 (1) TDDDG); consent can be revoked at any time. You can configure your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies and allow cookies only in individual cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general, and activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. If cookies are deactivated, the functionality of this website may be limited.
This website uses Borlabs Cookie, which sets a technically necessary cookie (borlabs-cookie) to store your cookie consents. Borlabs Cookie stores your consent settings and does not process any directly identifying personal data. The cookie borlabs-cookie stores the consents you have given when entering the website. If you wish to revoke these consents, simply delete the cookie in your browser. When you revisit/reload the website, you will be asked for your cookie consent again.
SSL-Verschlüsselung
We always use up-to-date encryption methods according to the HTTPS standard, such as SSL. This enables us to secure data transmission and protect the information transmitted.
Newsletter
f you would like to receive the newsletter offered on the website, we require an email address from you as well as information that allows us to verify that you are the owner of the email address provided and that you agree to receive the newsletter. Further data is not collected or is only collected on a voluntary basis. We use this data exclusively for sending the requested information and do not pass it on to third parties. Processing of the data entered into the newsletter registration form is carried out exclusively on the basis of your consent (Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR). This website uses Brevo for sending newsletters. The provider is Sendinblue GmbH, Köpenicker Straße 126, 10179 Berlin, Germany. Brevo is a service that can be used, among other things, to organize and analyze the sending of newsletters. The data you enter for the purpose of subscribing to the newsletter is stored on the servers of Sendinblue GmbH in Germany. The sending of our newsletter via Brevo is based on your consent (Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR). This means that we may only send you a newsletter if you have actively registered for it beforehand. If consent is not required, the newsletter is sent on the basis of our legitimate interest in direct marketing (Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR), provided this is legally permitted. We log the registration process in order to be able to prove consent in accordance with legal requirements. This includes, in particular, storing the time of registration and confirmation as well as the IP address.
With the help of Brevo, we can analyze our newsletter campaigns. For example, we can see whether a newsletter message has been opened and which links may have been clicked. In this way, we can determine, among other things, which content is particularly relevant. The analysis is carried out on the basis of your consent. The data you have stored with us for the purpose of receiving the newsletter will be stored by us or the newsletter service provider until you unsubscribe from the newsletter and will be deleted from the newsletter distribution list after you unsubscribe. Data stored by us for other purposes remains unaffected. You will find a corresponding link to unsubscribe in each newsletter. To withdraw your consent, it is also sufficient to send a simple email to info[at]confovis.com.
After you unsubscribe from the newsletter distribution list, your email address may be stored by us or the newsletter service provider in a blacklist, if this is necessary to prevent future mailings. The data from the blacklist is used exclusively for this purpose and is not merged with other data. This serves both your interest and our interest in complying with the legal requirements when sending newsletters (legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR). The storage in the blacklist is not time-limited. You may object to the storage if your interests outweigh our legitimate interest. Further information can be found in Brevo’s privacy policy at: https://www.brevo.com/de/datenschutz-uebersicht/ and https://www.brevo.com/de/legal/privacypolicy/

Processing is carried out depending on the content of your inquiry on the basis of Art. 6 (1) lit. b GDPR (for the implementation of pre-contractual measures) or on the basis of Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR (legitimate interest in processing inquiries). Your data will not be passed on unless this is necessary for processing your request.

Consent is obtained via our consent management tool and can be revoked at any time with effect for the future. Vimeo videos are only loaded once you actively enable them.

If you are logged into your Vimeo account, Vimeo can assign your browsing behavior directly to your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out of your Vimeo account. Vimeo uses cookies and comparable technologies (e.g. device fingerprinting) to recognize users. A transfer of data to the USA cannot be excluded. The USA is considered a third country without a level of data protection comparable to that of the EU.

https://policies.google.com/privacy
Google reCAPTCHA
We use Google reCAPTCHA to prevent abusive and automated requests via our website. The provider is Google Ireland Limited.
The use of reCAPTCHA is based solely on your consent in accordance with Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR and Section 25(1) of the TDDDG. Consent is obtained via our consent management tool and may be revoked at any time with future effect. reCAPTCHA is used to verify whether data entry on this website (e.g., in a contact form) is performed by a human or by an automated program. When using reCAPTCHA, personal data (e.g., IP address, mouse movements, dwell time, and other interaction data) is transmitted to Google and processed there.
Since April 2026, processing has been carried out by Google as a data processor in accordance with Article 28 of the GDPR. A transfer of data to the United States cannot be ruled out. Under data protection law, the U.S. is considered a third country without a level of data protection comparable to that of the EU. To the extent that Google is certified under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework, data transfer takes place on this basis. In addition, standard contractual clauses of the European Commission are used.

Online-Marketing
Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited. Google Analytics enables us to analyze the behavior of visitors to our website in order to evaluate the use of our website and optimize our online offering. The use of Google Analytics is carried out exclusively on the basis of your consent pursuant to Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR and Section 25 (1) TDDDG. Consent is obtained via our consent management tool and can be revoked at any time with effect for the future. Google Analytics uses cookies and similar technologies to analyze website usage. Personal data (e.g. IP address, usage data) may be processed. We have activated IP anonymization so that your IP address is shortened by Google within the European Union or in other contracting states of the European Economic Area before being transmitted. The data collected by Google Analytics is stored for a maximum period of 14 months and then deleted. A transfer of data to the USA cannot be excluded. The USA is considered a third country without a level of data protection comparable to that of the EU. In particular, there is a risk that US authorities may access the data without effective legal remedies being available.

Google Ads & Conversion Tracking
We use Google Ads, an online advertising program of Google Ireland Limited. Within Google Ads, we also use so-called conversion tracking. If you access our website via an advertisement placed by Google, a cookie may be stored on your device. This cookie allows us to recognize whether a user has performed a specific action on our website (e.g. submitting a form).
In addition, we use remarketing functions in order to display targeted advertisements to visitors of our website on other websites. The use of Google Ads, conversion tracking and remarketing is carried out exclusively on the basis of your consent pursuant to Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR and Section 25 (1) TDDDG. Consent is obtained via our consent management tool and can be revoked at any time with effect for the future. The corresponding technologies are only activated once you have given your consent.
In particular, the following data may be processed:
- IP address
- Usage behavior
- Interactions with advertisements and website
- Device and browser information
Google Tag Manager
We use Google Tag Manager, a solution of Google Ireland Limited. Google Tag Manager is used to manage and deploy website tags. As a rule, no independent user profiles are created via the Tag Manager itself. However, Google Tag Manager may technically collect data (e.g. IP address), particularly if tags integrated via it process corresponding data. The processing of personal data therefore takes place exclusively within the scope of the respective tracking tools used. The use of Google Tag Manager is based on our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR in efficient management of our online marketing tools.
Microsoft Advertising
The website uses “Microsoft Advertising” technologies from Microsoft Corporation One Microsoft Way, Redmond, WA 98052-6399, USA. Microsoft stores a cookie on your device if you have reached this website via a Microsoft Bing ad. In this way, Microsoft and we can recognize that someone has clicked on an ad, has been redirected to our website and has reached a previously determined target page (“conversion site”). We only learn the total number of users who clicked on a Bing ad and were then redirected to the conversion site. Microsoft collects, processes and uses information via the cookie, from which user profiles are created using pseudonyms. These user profiles are used to analyze visitor behavior and are used to display advertisements. No personal information about the identity of the user is processed.
If you do not want information about your behavior to be used by Microsoft as explained above, you can refuse the setting of a cookie required for this – for example, by using a browser setting that generally deactivates the automatic setting of cookies. You can also prevent the collection of data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website and the processing of this data by Microsoft by clicking on the following link: http://choice.microsoft.com/de-DE/opt-out to declare your objection. Further information on data protection and the cookies used by Microsoft and Bing Ads can be found on the Microsoft website at https://privacy.microsoft.com/de-de/privacystatement
Leadinfo
We use the lead generation service of Leadinfo B.V., Rotterdam, Netherlands. This recognizes visits from companies to our website based on IP addresses and shows us publicly available information, such as company names or addresses. In addition, Leadinfo sets two first-party cookies to evaluate user behavior on our website and processes domains from form entries (e.g. “leadinfo.com”) in order to correlate IP addresses with companies and improve the services. Further information can be found at www.leadinfo.com. On this page: www.leadinfo.com/en/opt-out you have an opt-out option. If you opt out, your data will no longer be collected by Leadinfo.

Rights of the data subjects
If your personal data is processed, you have the following rights as a data subject vis-à-vis the controller:
Withdrawal of your consent to data processing
Many data processing operations are only possible with your explicit consent. You may revoke consent that you have already given at any time. The legality of the data processing carried out until the revocation remains unaffected.
Right to object to data collection in special cases and to direct advertising (Art. 21 GDPR)
If data processing is based on Art. 6 (1) lit. e or f GDPR, you have the right at any time to object, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to the processing of your personal data; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions. If you object, we will no longer process your personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that override your interests, rights and freedoms or the processing serves to establish, exercise or defend legal claims. If your personal data is processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of your personal data for such advertising; this also applies to profiling insofar as it is related to such direct marketing. If you object, your personal data will subsequently no longer be used for direct marketing purposes.
Right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority
In the event of violations of the GDPR, data subjects have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of their habitual residence, place of work or place of the alleged infringement. This right exists without prejudice to other administrative or judicial remedies.
Right to data portability
You have the right to receive data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfillment of a contract, in a commonly used, machine-readable format, either for yourself or for a third party. If you request direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only be done insofar as it is technically feasible.
Information, correction and deletion
Within the framework of the applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to obtain free information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients and the purpose of data processing and, if applicable, a right to correction or deletion of this data. You can contact us at any time regarding this and other questions on the subject of personal data.
Right to restriction of processing
You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. You can contact us at any time for this purpose.
The right to restriction of processing exists in the following cases:
- If you contest the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we usually need time to verify this. For the duration of the verification, you have the right to request restriction of processing.
- If the processing of your personal data was/is unlawful, you may request restriction of processing instead of deletion.
- If we no longer need your personal data, but you require it for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims, you have the right to request restriction of processing instead of deletion.
- If you have lodged an objection pursuant to Art. 21 (1) GDPR, a balancing of interests must be carried out. As long as it has not yet been determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to request restriction of processing.
If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, such data may – apart from being stored – only be processed with your consent or for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or of a Member State.
Amendment
Confovis GmbH reserves the right to update this privacy policy regularly if legal, technical or business conditions change. If we update our privacy policy, we will take appropriate measures to inform you of the significance of the changes.
