GOOGLE TAG MANAGER
We use the Google Tag Manager. The provider is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.
Google Tag Manager is a tool that allows us to integrate tracking or statistical tools and other technologies on our website. The Google Tag Manager itself does not create any user profiles, does not store any cookies and does not carry out any independent analyses. It is only used to manage and display the tools integrated via it. However, Google Tag Manager records your IP address, which may also be transmitted to Google’s parent company in the United States.
The Google Tag Manager is used on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the fast and uncomplicated integration and management of various tools on its website. If a corresponding consent has been requested, the processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR; the consent can be revoked at any time.
GOOGLE ANALYTICS
THIS WEBSITE USES FUNCTIONS OF THE WEB ANALYSIS SERVICE GOOGLE ANALYTICS. THE PROVIDER IS GOOGLE IRELAND LIMITED (“GOOGLE”), GORDON HOUSE, BARROW STREET, DUBLIN 4, IRELAND.
Google Analytics enables the website operator to analyze the behavior of website visitors. In doing so, the website operator receives various usage data, such as page views, length of visit, operating systems used and origin of the user. This data is assigned to the user’s end device. It is not assigned to a user ID.
We can also use Google Analytics to record your mouse and scroll movements and clicks, among other things. Google Analytics also uses various modeling approaches to supplement the collected data records and uses machine learning technologies for data analysis.
Google Analytics uses technologies that enable the recognition of the user for the purpose of analyzing user behavior (e.g. cookies or device fingerprinting). The information collected by Google about the use of this website is generally transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there.
The use of this service is based on your consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR and § 25 para. 1 TTDSG. Consent can be revoked at any time.
Data transfer to the USA is based on the standard contractual clauses of the EU Commission. Details can be found here:

Use of Facebook Social Plugins
This website uses social plugins of the social network “Face-book”, which is operated by Facebook Inc, 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA (“Facebook”) (“Facebook Plugins”). The Facebook plugins are recognisable by one of the Facebook logos (white “f” on a blue background or a “thumbs up” sign) or marked in a comparable way (a list and the appearance of the Facebook plugins can be found here).
When you call up content on our website that contains such a Facebook plugin, your browser establishes a direct connection with the Facebook servers. The content of the Facebook plugin is transmitted directly to your browser by Facebook and integrated into the website by it. We therefore have no influence on the scope of the data that Facebook collects with the help of the Facebook plug-in; Facebook has published its own information on this: according to this, Facebook receives the information that you have called up the corresponding content of our website through the integration of Facebook plug-ins. If you are logged in to Facebook, Facebook can assign the visit to your Facebook account. If you interact with the Facebook plug-ins, for example by clicking the “Like” button or posting a comment, the corresponding information is transmitted from your browser directly to Facebook and stored there. If you are not a member of Facebook, there is still the possibility that Facebook will obtain and store your IP address. The purpose and scope of the data collection and the further processing and use of the data by Facebook, as well as your rights in this regard and setting options for protecting your privacy, can be found in Facebook’s privacy policy.
If you are a Facebook member and do not want Facebook to collect data about you via our website and link it to your data stored on Facebook, you must log out of Facebook before visiting our website. It is also possible to block Facebook social plugins with add-ons for your browser, for example with the “Facebook Blocker”.

4 What personal data is processed by Out of the blue and for what purpose?
4.1 As we are only active in B2B trade, we only process personal data to a very limited extent. Personal data is collected, for example, when we have a personal contact person at a company and collect their personal data for this purpose. The possibly personal data includes first names, last names, titles, company names, postal addresses, email addresses, telephone numbers, mobile phone numbers, fax numbers, internet addresses or contact addresses via so-called social media platforms (e.g. Twitter, LinkedIn, Xing, FaceBook, Skype).
4.2 We use personal data for the following purposes
– for the offer, conclusion and execution of contracts, including the preparation of offers, order confirmations, delivery notes, invoices, reminders;
– for the delivery of goods and their returns;
– for the addition of data;
– for address matching;

5. does Out of the blue carry out credit checks and cooperate with credit agencies and other companies to minimise risks?
5.1 Out of the blue reserves the right to carry out credit checks in the case of high order values or orders from abroad. The purpose of this is to protect us from payment defaults. As we only sell to commercial customers and the credit check relates to the customer company, personal data is only required and used for the credit check in rare cases. The use of personal data may be necessary, for example, if the customer is a sole trader.
5.2 For the credit assessment, it may also be necessary to transmit personal data of the customer externally to a credit agency or a debt collection agency, such as data on the application, performance and termination of contractual relationships as well as data on non-contractual or fraudulent behaviour.
5.3 The credit agencies and debt collection companies commissioned by us process the data received and also use it for the purpose of scoring in order to provide their contractual partners in the European Economic Area and in Switzerland and, where applicable, other third countries (insofar as there is an adequacy decision on these by the European Commission) with information on, among other things, the assessment of the creditworthiness of companies. More detailed information on this data processing can be found in the data protection notices of the credit agencies and debt collection companies with which we cooperate:

These service providers process data only in accordance with the instructions and under the control of Out of the blue and exclusively for the purposes described in this data protection notice. We commission companies in the following areas in particular: IT, sales, marketing (e.g. online dispatch or postal dispatch of marketing material), market research, finance, consulting, customer service, human resources, logistics, printing, credit assessment, debt collection. We conclude additional contracts with the processors that meet the legal requirements (Art. 28 DSGVO) and guarantee the protection of your personal data.
6.2 To cooperation partners who provide services for you or in connection with your contract on their own responsibility (e.g. logistics service providers). This is the case if you order the services of such partners from us or if you consent to the involvement of the partner or if we involve the partner on the basis of a legal permission.
6.3 Due to legal obligation: In certain cases, we are legally obliged to transfer certain data to third parties. For example, upon presentation of a court order for the provision of information.
7 Where is your data processed?
Your data is generally processed in Germany and other European countries.
If, in exceptional cases, your data is also processed in countries outside the European Union (i.e. in so-called third countries), this is done if you have expressly consented to this or if it is necessary for our provision of services to you or if it is provided for by law (Art. 49 DSGVO). In addition, your data will only be processed in third countries if certain measures ensure that an adequate level of data protection exists (e.g. adequacy decision of the EU Commission or so-called suitable guarantees, Art. 44 et seq. of the GDPR).
For how long will your data be stored?
We delete your personal data as soon as you have revoked a declared consent or exercised your right to deletion, but always only after expiry of the statutory retention obligations that we must comply with, but no later than ten (10) years after you have last corresponded with us.
