USE OF MATOMO (FORMERLY PIWIK)

Data is collected and stored on this website using the Matomo web analysis software (www.matomo.org), a service of InnoCraft Ltd., 150 Willis St, 6011 Wellington, New Zealand, on the basis of our legitimate interest in statistical analysis of user behavior for optimization and marketing purposes pursuant to Article 6 (1)(f) GDPR. Pseudonymized user profiles can be created and evaluated from this data for the same purpose. Cookies may be used for this purpose. The data collected with Matomo technology (including your pseudonymized IP address) is processed on our servers.

The information generated by the cookie in the pseudonymous user profile is not used to personally identify the visitor to this website and is not combined with personal data about the bearer of the pseudonym.

COOKIES

This website uses cookies. These are small text files that your browser stores on your computer. It is also possible to view the individual pages of this website without cookies (for example by deactivating them with a suitable add-on of your browser).

For better user guidance and individual performance, we use permanent cookies. We also use so-called session cookies, which are automatically deleted when you close your browser. The legal basis for the use of cookies is your consent (which you give the first time you visit our website and can be revoked at any time). You can set your browser so that it informs you about the placement of cookies. So the use of cookies becomes apparent to you.

FACEBOOK, TWITTER, LINKEDIN, YOUTUBE

On our website you will find links to the social media services Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and YouTube.

If you follow these links, you will find TechSAT’s corporate presence at the respective social media service. Please note that the activation of a link means that certain data can be transferred to the provider of the social media service. These are for example:

  • Address of the website on which the activated link is located
  • Date and time of accessing the website or activating the link
  • Information about the browser and operating system used
  • IP address

If you are already logged in to the corresponding social media service when the link is activated, the provider of the social media service may also be able to determine your user name and possibly even your real name from the transmitted data. These data may also be processed by the provider of the social media service in countries outside the European Union. We have no influence on the extent, type, and purpose of data processing by the provider of the social media service.

Please note that with the above data the provider of the social media service is able to create pseudonymized or even individualized user profiles.

The social media servers are located in the USA and other countries outside the European Union. Please note that companies in these countries are subject to a data protection law that generally does not protect personal data to the same extent as is the case in the Member States of the European Union. Further information on the use of your data by the social media services included on our website can be found in the privacy policy of the respective social media service.

ENCRYPTION

To protect your data from unauthorized access during transmission, we use an encryption method on our website (256-bit TLS 1.2 encryption). You can recognize this by the closed lock symbol in the status bar of your browser and by the URL bar which starts with https://.
