We respect the GDPR and national privacy laws, as every company and every citizen should do. If you have any questions about the handling of your personal data which are not covered in this privacy statement, please feel free to contact our data protection officer.

We store personal data if you share it with us, e.g. if you fill out our contact form or place an order (also via ALOORA), or for technical administration. Your communication of this data is expressly done on a voluntary basis and therefore with your consent. If this concerns details about communication channels (for example email addresses, phone numbers), you also consent to us contacting you via these communication channels if necessary in order to respond to your requests. Of course, you can withdraw your declaration of consent for the future at any time. To do this, please contact our data protection officer. We also receive personal information from enquiry bureaus and publicly available sources such as: trade or club registries. We process your personal data always in compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Federal Data Protection Act as well as all other relevant laws and regulations. We would like to point out that data transmission over the internet (e.g. in communication via email) may involve gaps in security. Absolute protection of the data against access by third parties is not possible.

 

Cookies

We use cookies in order to optimise our websites for preferred areas of interest. Cookies are text information files which your web browser saves on your computer when you open our website in order to make surfing the internet more user-friendly. It you want to prevent the use of cookies, you can turn off cookies in your web browser.

 

Server log files

The website provider automatically collects and saves information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically communicates to us. This is:

 

  • Browser type and browser version
  • Operating system in use
  • Referrer URL
  • Hostname of the accessing computer
  • Time of the server request

 

This data cannot be associated with specific individuals. Your IP address will be pseudonymized. Aggregation of this data with other data sources is not carried out. We reserve the right to subsequently review this information if we become aware of concrete evidence of unlawful use.

 

Google Analytics

AGROLAB uses Google Analytics to analyse website usage. The data obtained is used to optimise our website and advertising measures.
Google Analytics is provided to us by Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland). Google processes the website usage data on our behalf and is contractually obliged to take measures to ensure the security and confidentiality of the processed data.
During your visit to our website, the following data, among other things, is recorded:

  • Pages viewed
  • Orders, including sales and products ordered
  • The achievement of ‘website goals’ (e.g. contact requests and newsletter registrations)
  • Your behaviour on the pages (e.g. length of stay, clicks, scrolling behaviour)
  • Your approximate location (country and city)
  • Your IP address (in abbreviated form, so that no clear assignment is possible)
  • Technical information such as browser, internet provider, end device and screen resolution
  • Source of your visit (i.e. via which website or via which advertising medium you came to us)

Personal data such as name, address or contact details are never transferred to Google Analytics.

This data is transferred to Google servers in the United States. We would like to point out that the same level of data protection cannot be guaranteed in the United States as in the EU.

Google Analytics stores cookies in your web browser for a period of two years from your last visit. These cookies contain a randomly generated user ID that allows you to be recognised on future visits to the site.

The recorded data is stored together with the randomly generated user ID, which enables the evaluation of pseudonymous user profiles. This user-related data is automatically deleted after 14 months. Other data remains stored in aggregated form for an unlimited period.

If you do not agree to the collection of this information, you can prevent it by installing the browser add-on to deactivate Google Analytics or by rejecting cookies via our cookie settings dialogue (green button ‘Cookie policy’ in the bottom left corner).

Contact form

If you send AGROLAB enquiries using the contact form, we store your details from the contact form, including the contact detail which you enter, for the purpose of handling of the enquiry and in case of follow-up questions. We do not pass this data on without your consent.

 

Newsletter data

If you want to receive the “AGROLAB Radar” newsletter, on offer on the AGROLAB website, we require an email address for you as well as information which allows us to verify that you are owner of the email address entered and agree to receipt of the newsletter. No other data is collected. We use this data exclusively to send the information requested and do not pass it on to third parties. The consent given to the storage of the data, the email address, and its use for the sending of the newsletter can be withdrawn at any time usually through the “unsubscribe” link in the newsletter.

 

SSL encryption

This site uses SSL encryption for reasons of security and in order to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as the enquiries which you send to us, the site provider. You can recognise an encrypted connection because the address bar of the browser changes from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock symbol in your browser line.

If SSL encryption is active, the data which you send to us cannot be read by third parties.

 

Security

AGROLAB has taken extensive protective measures in order to protect your data against accidental or deliberate manipulation, loss, deletion, or access by unauthorised persons. Our security procedures are regularly reviewed and adjusted for technological progress.

 

Transmission of data to third parties

Data is only passed on to third parties except AGROLAB-sites for the purposes contract processing or with your consent, which can be withdrawn at any time. Personal data is not passed on or sold unless we are legally obligated to do so. Insofar as external service providers come into contact with your personal data, we have ensured through legal measures that these external service providers comply with the provisions of the data protection laws.

 

Right to disclosure, deletion, blocking

You have the right to request information concerning your stored personal information, its origin and recipients and the purpose of the data processing free of charge at any time, as well as the right to correction and blocking of this data. Due to other regulations, order data can be deleted at the earliest 10 years after completion of the order.

 

Laboratory analysis does not fall under Art 28 GDPR

AGROLAB’s laboratory service is not classified as a commissioned processing.

Since the core of AGROLAB's activities is not the processing of personal data, but the independent scientific analysis of various samples, no commissioned processing is seen here. Even if the laboratory "incidentally" comes into contact with personal data such as addresses or names of natural persons, this does not make its activity a "processing of personal data on commission".

We checked this interpretation by a specialised lawyer for data protection. Officially, this is also confirmed by the Bavarian Supervisory Authority (BayLDA on the subject of commissioned processing). Here, the "material analysis on behalf" is explicitly not classified as commissioned processing, even in the case of medical laboratory analysis, because the focus is on the independent expert analysis by the laboratories. In the case of AGROLAB, this assessment is even clearer because we are not even dealing with human material as samples.
