Information on data protection and the use of statistics Scope of application
The protection of your informational self-determination and privacy is important to us. We therefore collect, process and use personal data exclusively in accordance with the applicable data protection and data security laws. The responsible body within the meaning of the data protection laws, in particular the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), is:

BHG.BROICHCATERING GMBH, represented by: Georg W. Broich, managing partner, Burkhard Schmitz, managing partner, Lars Wessel, managing partner, Claus Meinen, managing partner Hansaallee 321 / Halle 18, 40549 Düsseldorf, Germany, +49 (0)211 602 030, info@broichcatering.com

Access data / server log files
BHG.BROICHCATERING GMBH (or its web space provider Hetzner Online GmbH) collects data about every access to the website (so-called server log files). Access data includes:

name of the website accessed, file, date and time of access, amount of data transferred, notification of successful access, browser type and version, the user’s operating system, referrer URL (the previously visited page), IP address and the requesting provider.

The provider uses the protocol data only for statistical evaluations for the purpose of operation, security and optimisation of the website. However, the provider reserves the right to subsequently check the log data if there is a justified suspicion of illegal use based on concrete indications.

Only pseudonymised IP addresses of visitors to the website are stored, and the creation of a personal reference is no longer possible. This data is stored for two months.

Purposes of data processing by the responsible body and third parties
We process your personal data only for the purposes stated in this privacy policy. Your personal data will not be passed on to third parties for purposes other than those mentioned. We will only pass on your personal data to third parties if:
• you have given your express consent,
• processing is required to fulfil a contract with you,
• processing is required to fulfil a legal obligation,
• processing is required to protect legitimate interests and there is no reason to believe that you have an overriding interest worthy of protection in not disclosing your data. This data is kept for two months.

Collection of personal data when visiting our website
When using the website for information purposes only, i.e. if you do not register or otherwise provide us with information, we only collect the personal data that your browser transmits to our server. If you wish to view our website, we collect the following data, which is required in technical terms in order for us to display our website to you and to guarantee its stability and security (legal basis is Art. 6 [1] [1] [f] GDPR):
• IP address
• date and time of the request
• time zone difference to Greenwich Mean Time (GMT)
• content of the request (specific page)
• access status/HTTP status code
• the amount of data transferred in each case
• website from which the request comes
• browser
• operating system and its interface
• language and version of the browser Software
In addition to the aforementioned data, cookies are stored on your computer when you use our website. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your hard drive in the browser that you use and through which certain information flows to the place that sets the cookie (here by us). Cookies cannot run programs or transmit viruses to your computer. They serve to make the website more user-friendly and effective overall.

Registration on our website

When registering to use our personalised services, some personal data is collected, such as name, address, contact and communication data such as telephone number and email address. If you are registered with us, you can access content and services that we only provide to registered users. Registered users also have the option of amending or deleting the data provided during registration at any time if required. Of course, we will also provide you with information about your personal data that we have stored at any time. We will be happy to correct or delete this data at your request, provided that there are no legal retention obligations to the contrary. To contact us in this regard, please use the contact details given at the end of this privacy policy.

SSL encryption
To protect the security of your data during transmission, we use state-of-the-art encryption methods (e.g. SSL) via HTTPS.

Newsletter
Based on your explicit consent, we will regularly send you our newsletter or comparable information by email to the address that you have specified.

To receive the newsletter, it is sufficient to provide your email address. When registering to receive our newsletter, the data you provide will be used exclusively for this purpose. Subscribers may also be notified by email of circumstances relevant to the service or registration (e.g. changes to the newsletter offer or technical circumstances).

For a registration to be effective, we require a valid email address. In order to verify that a registration has actually been made by the owner of an email address, we use the “double opt-in” procedure. To this end, we log the order of the newsletter, the sending of a confirmation email and the receipt of the requested answer. We have to log the registrations in order to be able to prove a proper registration. For this purpose, we store the time of registration and confirmation as well as the IP address of the user during the registration process. The data will be used exclusively for sending the newsletter and will not be passed on to third parties. You may revoke your consent to the storage of your personal data and its use for sending the newsletter at any time. You will find a corresponding link in each newsletter. You may also unsubscribe directly from this website at any time or inform us of your request by using the contact option indicated at the end of this privacy policy.

In order to make our newsletter interesting for you, we statistically record which links the users have clicked in the newsletter. By registering, you agree to this statistical recording.

Integration of third-party services and content
It may be the case that third-party content, such as videos from YouTube, maps from Google Maps, RSS feeds or graphics from other websites, is integrated into this website. This always assumes that the providers of this content (hereinafter referred to as „third-party Providers“) obtain the user’s IP address. This is because without the IP address, they could not send the content to the respective user’s browser. The IP address is thereby required to display this content. We make every effort to use only that content whose respective providers use the IP address solely for the delivery of the content. However, we have no influence on the fact that the third-party providers may store the IP address, e.g. for statistical purposes. Insofar as we are aware of this, we will inform users accordingly.

Cookies
Like many other websites, we also use so-called „Cookies“. Cookies are small text files that are transferred from a website server to your hard drive. This automatically provides us with certain data, such as IP address, browser used, operating system and your connection to the Internet.

Cookies cannot be used to run programs or to transmit viruses to a computer. Based on the information contained in cookies, we can make navigation of the website easier for you and enable the correct display of our web pages.

Under no circumstances will the data that we collect be passed on to third parties or linked to personal data without your consent.

You can, of course, also use our website without cookies. Internet browsers are usually set to accept cookies. In general, you can deactivate the use of cookies at any time using your browser’s settings. Please use your Internet browser’s help functions to find out how you can change these settings. Please note that some features of our website may not work if you have disabled the use of cookies.

You can manage many companies‘ online ad cookies through the US site http://www.aboutads.info/choices/ or the EU site http://www.youronlinechoices.com/uk/your-ad-choices/.

Contact form
If you get in touch with us regarding any questions by email or contact form, please give us your voluntary consent for the purpose of making contact. A valid email address is required for this purpose, which is used to assign the request and then reply to it. The provision of further information is optional. The information that you provide will be stored for the purpose of processing your inquiry and for possible follow-up questions. After your request has been processed, your personal data will be automatically deleted.

Use of Google Analytics This website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service provided by Google Inc. (hereinafter: „Google“). Google Analytics uses „Cookies“, which are text files placed on your computer to help the website analyse how users use the site. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is usually transferred to a Google server in the US and stored there. If you enable IP anonymisation on these sites, however, Google will shorten your IP address beforehand within member states of the European Union or in other signatory states to the EEA Agreement. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transferred to a Google server in the US and shortened there. Google will use this information on behalf of the operator of this website to evaluate your use of the site, to compile reports on website activity and to provide the website operator with further services associated with website and Internet use. The IP address transmitted by your browser within the scope of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.

The purposes of data processing are to evaluate the use of the website and to compile reports on activities on the website. Other related services will then be provided based on the use of the website and the Internet. The processing is based on the legitimate interest of the website operator.

You may refuse the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser, however please note that if you do this, you may not be able to use the full functionality of this website. You can also prevent Google from collecting the data generated by the cookie and relating to your use of the website (including your IP address) and from processing this data by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available under the following link: Browser add-on to disable Google Analytics (http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de). In addition, or as an alternative to the browser add-on, you can prevent tracking by Google Analytics on our pages by clicking this link (). Doing so will install an opt-out cookie on your device. This will prevent Google Analytics from collecting data for this website and for this browser in future, as long as the cookie remains installed in your browser.

Use of script libraries (Google Web Fonts)
In order to display our content correctly and in a graphically appealing manner across all browsers, we use script libraries and font libraries such as Google Web Fonts (https://www.google.com/webfonts/) on this website. Google Web Fonts are transferred to your browser’s cache to avoid multiple loading. If your browser does not support Google Web Fonts or does not allow access, content will be displayed in a default font. Calling up script libraries or font libraries automatically triggers a connection to the operator of the library. In theory, it is possible – but currently also unclear whether and, if so, for what purposes – that operators of corresponding libraries collect data. The privacy policy of the library operator Google can be found here: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/.

Use of Google Maps
This website uses Google Maps API to visually display geographical information. When using Google Maps, Google also collects, processes and uses data about visitors‘ use of map functions. You can find more information about Google’s data processing in Google’s privacy policy. You can also change your personal privacy settings there in the Data Protection Center. Detailed instructions for managing your own data in connection with Google products can be found here.

Embedded YouTube videos
We embed YouTube videos on some of our websites. YouTube, LLC, 901 Cherry Ave., San Bruno, CA 94066, USA, is the operator of the corresponding plug-ins. When you visit a page with the YouTube plug-in, a connection to YouTube servers is established, and YouTube will be informed which pages you visit.

The YouTube videos on this website have activated the so-called „extended data protection mode“. YouTube provides this extended data protection mode to ensure that YouTube does not store cookies with personal data on your PC. The IP address is transmitted when the website is called up and for embedding the videos, however this cannot be assigned if you are not logged in to YouTube or another Google service when you visit the site. Due to the extended data protection mode, YouTube only stores cookies on your PC that do not contain any personally identifiable data. These cookies can be prevented by your browser settings and/or extensions.

If you wish to prevent this, you must block the saving of cookies in your browser. Further information on data protection at „YouTube“ can be found in the provider’s privacy policy at: https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/.

Social plug-ins

On our website, we offer you the possibility of using so-called „social media Buttons“. To protect your data, we use the „Shariff“ solution for implementation. This means that these buttons are only integrated into the website as a graphic that contains a link to the corresponding website of the button provider. By clicking on the graphic, you will be forwarded to the services of the respective provider. Only then will your data be sent to the respective providers. If you do not click on the graphic, there is no exchange between you and the providers of the social media buttons. Information about the collection and use of your data in the social networks can be found in the respective terms of use of the relevant providers.

We have integrated the following companies‘ social media buttons into our website:
• Twitter
• Facebook
• Pinterest
• YouTube
• Google Plus
• Instagram

Facebook Pixel
Our website uses the visitor action pixel from Facebook, Facebook Inc., 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA („Facebook“) for conversion measurement.

This enables visitors to be tracked after they have been redirected to the provider’s website by clicking on a Facebook ad, which in turn allows the effectiveness of Facebook ads to be evaluated for statistical and market research purposes and future advertising measures to be optimised.

The data collected is anonymous for us as the operator of this website, and we cannot draw any conclusions about the identity of users. However, the data is stored and processed by Facebook, meaning that a connection to the respective user profile is possible, and Facebook can use the data for its own advertising purposes in accordance with the Facebook data use guidelines. This allows Facebook to serve ads on Facebook pages as well as outside of Facebook. This use of the data cannot be influenced by us as the site operator. Please see Facebook’s privacy policy for more information on how to protect your privacy: https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/. You can also disable the “Custom Audiences” remarketing feature in the Ad Settings section at https://www.facebook.com/ads/preferences/?entry_product=ad_settings_screen. You must be logged in to Facebook to do so. If you do not have a Facebook account, you can disable use-based advertising from Facebook on the European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance website: http://www.youronlinechoices.com/de/praferenzmanagement/.

Google AdWords
Our website uses Google conversion tracking. If you have reached our website via an ad placed by Google, Google AdWords sets a cookie on your computer. The conversion tracking cookie is set when a user clicks on an ad served by Google. These cookies expire after 30 days and are not used for personal identification. If the user visits certain pages of our website and the cookie has not yet expired, we and Google can see that the user has clicked on the ad and has been redirected to this page. Each Google AdWords customer receives a different cookie. Cookies cannot therefore be traced through 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. Customers see the total number of users who have clicked on their ad and were redirected to a page with a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not receive any information that personally identifies users. If you do not wish to participate in tracking, you can refuse the setting of a cookie required for this – for example via browser settings that generally deactivate the automatic setting of cookies or by setting your browser so that cookies from the “googleleadservices.com” domain are blocked. Please note that you may not delete the opt-out cookies as long as you do not wish measurement data to be recorded. If you have deleted all of your cookies in your browser, you must set the respective opt-out cookie again.

The new privacy policy shall then apply for your next visit. Privacy policy version dated: 26/06/2018
