Data Protection Regulation.
Introduction
As operators of the website, we – 365FarmNet GmbH – are responsible for processing the personal data of those who use our website. Our contact information, including the named contacts for any questions regarding how your personal information is processed, is available in the “Legal Notice” section of our website.
At 365FarmNet, protecting your personal data is of the utmost importance to us. We continuously keep data protection interests at the forefront of everything we do and take even greater precautions than prescribed by the legal minimum standards, in particular the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the national data protection requirements, so you can be assured that your data is in good hands.
We do not pass on any data entrusted to us (either personal or farm data) to third parties – not even our partners. If data transfer in the context of the direct handling of business processes is unavoidable from a proportionality point of view, it is always done so for a specific purpose, with the greatest of care and in compliance with all applicable legal requirements. We never share data for advertising or market research purposes.
Your personal data is only ever stored on ISO-certified servers in Germany.
When recording and transferring your confidential data, we only ever use security software and procedures that protect your personal data from unauthorised access, usage and sharing.
The aim of this Privacy Policy is to inform you to what extent and for what purpose your personal data is processed in relation to your use of our website.
Personal data
Personal data is defined as information about an identified or identifiable natural person. This includes any information about your identity, such as your name, email address and home address. In contrast, information that cannot be associated with your identity, such as statistical data, e.g. the number of users of our website, is not classed as personal information.
In principle, you can use our website without revealing your identity or entering personal data. In this case, we only record general information about your visit to our website. However, for some of the services we offer, we will gather some of your personal data. The data will only be processed by us for the purpose using our website, in particular to provide the requested information. When gathering personal data, only the provision of the strictly necessary data is mandatory. Additional data may be provided on a voluntary basis. In each case, we indicate which fields are mandatory and which are voluntary (optional). Specific details are provided in the corresponding sections of this Privacy Policy.
No automated decision-making takes place based on your personal data in relation to your use of our website.
Processing of personal information
Your data is stored by us on specially protected, ISO-certified servers within the European Union. The servers are protected with technical and organisational procedures to prevent your data from being lost, damaged, accessed, modified or disseminated by unauthorised persons. Your data can only be accessed by a few authorised individuals. These individuals are responsible for supervising the servers in a technical, commercial or editorial capacity. Despite regular inspections, however, complete protection from all dangers cannot be guaranteed.
Your personal data is transferred over the internet in an encrypted format. We use SSL (secure socket layer) encryption for transferring data.
Sharing your personal data with third parties
We only use your personal data to perform the services requested by you. If we use an external service provider to perform a service, they are only granted access to your data for the purpose of performing that particular service. We use technical and organisational procedures to ensure compliance with data protection requirements and oblige our external service providers to do the same.
Furthermore, we only share your data with third parties with your express permission and certainly not for advertising purposes. We only share your personal data if you have specifically consented to data sharing or if we are entitled or obliged to do so due to a legal requirement and/or official or judicial order. This may involve providing information for the purposes of law enforcement, hazard prevention or for the enforcement of intellectual property rights.
In cases where we transmit your personal data outside of the European Union, either ourselves or via one of our service providers, we will comply with the relevant provisions of Art. 44 ff. of the EU GDPR and will oblige our service providers to adhere to these regulations. We will therefore only transmit your data to countries outside of the European Union that are subject to the level of protection guaranteed by the EU GDPR. This level of protection is specifically guaranteed by an adequacy decision taken by the European Commission or by suitable guarantees in accordance with Art. 46 of the EU GDPR.
Legal basis for data processing
If we obtain your consent to process your personal data, Art. 6 (1) a) of the EU GDPR shall apply as the legal basis for the data processing.
If we process your personal data because it is necessary to do so in order to fulfil a contract or as part of a relationship with you that is similar to a contractual relationship, Art. 6 (1) b) of the EU GDPR shall apply as the legal basis for the data processing.
If we process your personal data in order to fulfil a legal obligation, Art. 6 (1) c) of the EU GDPR shall apply as the legal basis for the data processing.
Art. 6 (1) f) of the EU GDPR also comes into consideration as a legal basis for the data processing if your personal data needs to be processed in order to protect the legitimate interests of our company or a third party and if your interests, fundamental rights and freedoms do not necessitate the protection of personal data.
Throughout this Privacy Policy, we will indicate the relevant legal basis for processing your personal data.
Data erasure and storage duration
As a matter of principle, we always either erase or lock your data once the purpose for storing it no longer applies. However, we may store your data in some cases if this is stipulated by legal requirements that we are subject to, for example with statutory storage and documentation obligations. In such cases, we either erase or lock your personal data once the respective requirement ends.
Use of our website
Information about your computer
Regardless of your registration status, we gather the following information about your computer each time you access our website: your computer’s IP address, your browser request and the time of the request. In addition, we record the status and the quantity of data transferred within the scope of this request. We also gather product and version information about the browser you are using and your computer’s operating system. Furthermore, we record which websites you visited prior to accessing our website. Your computer’s IP address is only stored while you are using our website. Afterwards, it is either deleted or shortened and anonymised. The rest of the data is stored for a limited period of time.
We use this data to operate our website. In particular, we use it to detect and remove faults, determine the utilisation of our website and to make adjustments and improvements. These purposes also correspond to our legitimate interest in data processing according to Art. 6 (1) f) of the EU GDPR, which is the legal basis for the processing of this data.
Use of cookies
As is the case with many websites, we use cookies to deliver our website. Cookies are small text files stored on your computer, which store specific settings and data that are shared with our website via your browser. Generally, cookies contain the name of the domain from which the cookie file was sent, plus information about the age of the cookie and an alphanumeric ID.
Cookies allow us to recognise your computer and, where preferences have been set, to make them available immediately.
The cookies we use are called “session cookies” and are automatically deleted once your browser session has ended. In some cases, cookies with a longer storage duration can be used in order for your preferences to be taken into account again when you next visit our website.
Most browsers are set to automatically accept these cookies. However, you can deactivate cookie storage or set your browser so that it notifies you each time cookies are sent. You can also manually delete previously stored cookies via your browser settings. Please note that in some circumstances you may only be able to use our website to a limited extent, or in some cases not at all, if you prevent cookies from being stored or if you delete necessary cookies.
Where cookies are not required for our website, we ask that you consent to the use of cookies the first time you access our website. With regard to non-essential cookies from third-party providers, a more precise description of the services we use from these third-party providers is provided below. The legal basis for processing data in these contexts, including any instances of data transfer, is your consent within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) a) of the EU GDPR. If you have previously given your consent, you may withdraw it at any time with future effect, in particular by changing your selected settings.
The legal basis for the use of necessary cookies is our legitimate interest in the proper provision of our website within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) f) of the EU GDPR and – where contracts are concluded and fulfilled via our website – the execution of a contract within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) b) of the EU GDPR.

Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics for statistical analyses. Google Analytics is a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, Ireland (hereinafter referred to as “Google”). Google Analytics uses cookies (text files) that are saved to your computer and enable your website usage to be analysed. As a general rule, the information generated by your usage of this website is transferred to and stored on a Google server in the USA. However, if IP anonymisation is activated on this website, your IP address is shortened by Google within European Union member states and other contracting states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area before being transferred. You full IP address is only transferred to a Google server in the USA and shortened there in exceptional circumstances. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google uses this information to evaluate your use of the website, compile reports on your website activity and to provide other services related to website activity and internet usage to the website operator. You may prevent the storage of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings in your browser. However, please note that if you do so you may not be able to use all the functions of this website. You can prevent Google from acquiring and processing the data generated by cookies regarding your website usage (incl. your IP address) by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available under the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en-GB.
More information is available at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en-GB and (general information about Google Analytics and data protection). Please be advised that the code “anonymizeIp();” has been added to the Google Analytics code on our website to anonymise the IP addresses by deleting the final octet.
Retargeting and remarketing
Retargeting and remarketing software is used to display more relevant advertisements to users who have previously visited a certain website, even after they have left that website. For this purpose, cookies from relevant service providers are used in order to recognise internet users elsewhere on the internet beyond the company’s own website. Previous user behaviour is also taken into account. If a user views a certain product, for example, that product or a similar one may be displayed to them later as an advertisement on another website. This is known as personalised advertising, which is adapted to the needs of individual users. For personalised advertising to work, however, users do not need to be identified beyond being simply recognised. Therefore, we do not merge the data we use for retargeting and remarketing with other data.
We use such technology to place advertisements on the internet. We rely on third-party providers to place the advertisements. We use products and services from Google and Microsoft, among others, that enable the automatic display of products that the internet user is interested in. This function is implemented via the use of cookies, among other technologies. In addition to this, we gather data on the success of our online advertising campaigns. We cannot guarantee that, as part of this process, data will not be transmitted to Google and Microsoft in the USA and that the US National Security Agency will not gain access to the data.
More information about Google’s technology can be found in its Privacy Policy at https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en-GB. You can prevent the installation of Google Remarketing and Google AdWords Conversion Tracking cookies via your browser software settings by visiting http://www.google.com/policies/privacy/ads/ and modifying the relevant setting.
More information about the technology provided by the Microsoft Corporation, One Microsoft Way, Redmond, WA 98052–6399, USA can be found in Microsoft’s Privacy Statement here: https://privacy.microsoft.com/en-gb/privacystatement. You can prevent the installation of cookies from Microsoft Advertising and Microsoft Bing Ads by adjusting the relevant setting in your browser. You can also opt out of personalised advertising by visiting the following page: https://choice.microsoft.com/en-GB/opt-out.
In this case, our legitimate interest is to place advertisements in accordance with Art. 6 (1) f) of the EU GDPR. Art. 6 (1) f) of the EU GDPR is also our legal basis for processing data in this way, unless you have already granted your consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) p. 1 a) of the EU GDPR.
Zenloop
We also use zenloop to carry out surveys on our website and in 365FarmNet. zenloop is a business-to-business software-as-a-service platform provided by zenloop GmbH, Habersaathstraße 58, 10115 Berlin (“zenloop”). zenloop allows us to collect and analyse customer feedback. This enable us to adapt our products and services to better meet the direct needs of our customers and to continuously improve them.
With zenloop, we are able to integrate specific surveys on our company directly in our website and in 365FarmNet where they can then be answered by our customers. When our customers use the feedback tools zenloop records the public IP address as well as data on the device and browser used. In addition, cookies are used to collect data about users. zenloop collects any answers the respondent has given in response to the survey in order to evaluate the survey. De-pending on the survey, these responses may also contain personal data such as the first name and sur-name of the respondent, for example. This information is evaluated by zenloop. If the survey responses contain personal data, they are processed in accordance with Art. 6, Para. 1, Line 1 point f) of the GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest in the statistical evaluation of user satisfaction and the subse-quent optimisation of our products and services for our customers.
You can find more information about zenloop’s data use and the measures in place to protect this data in zenloop’s privacy policy which is available online at https://www.zenloop.com/en/legal/privacy/.
Matomo
We use Matomo (formerly Piwik), an open source software application, to statistically evaluate the use of the our online portal. Matomo is a web analytics service. Data gathered via Matomo is stored in a database for usage analysis purposes and is used to optimise our website. This constitutes our legitimate interest in accordance with Art. 6 (1) f) of the EU GDPR. The data gathered via Matomo includes a shortened IP address, the time the request was made, the requested website, the website from which you navigated to our website (“referrer”), the browser used, the dwell time on our website and the frequency of the request.
The evaluations produced by Matomo are completely anonymised and cannot be used to identify individuals. The data stored by Matomo is not combined with any other data sources, nor is it shared with any third parties.
Use of YouTube
Our website incorporate videos, which are played back via YouTube, a service operated by Google. The operator of this service is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (“Google”).
We use the YouTube service in privacy-enhanced mode to protect your privacy as much as possible. If you access a page of our website in which a YouTube video is embedded, Google only obtains the information needed to establish a connection in the first instance – no usage analysis cookies are placed on your device. Google only obtains more detailed information once you click on the embedded video to play it. In this case, Google may also place cookies on your device to analyse your user behaviour. When you play the video, Google’s YouTube servers receive information about the specific web page from which you are playing the video, for example.
If you are logged into your Google account, this allows Google and/or YouTube to attribute your browsing habits to your individual Google profile. We therefore only recommend playing back embedded YouTube videos if you consent to the way that Google processes your data in this case. You can prevent data from being attributed to your Google profile by logging out of your YouTube account. More information on how Google handles user data can be found in Google’s Privacy Policy at https://policies.google.com/privacy, which also applies to YouTube.
We use YouTube to show you videos so that you can be better informed about our company and our services. The legal basis for embedding videos falls under our legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) f) of the EU GDPR. However, playing back videos and the additional data processing associated with it is only carried out on the basis of your consent within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) a) of the EU GDPR.
Use of the Facebook pixel
We use the Facebook pixel for statistical analysis and to improve the performance of our advertisements. The Facebook pixel is an analytics tool provided by Facebook Inc., 1601 South California Avenue, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA (“Facebook”). The Facebook pixel allows us to measure the performance of our advertising campaigns and to display our advertisements to specific target audiences.
If you consent to the use of the Facebook pixel, a connection will be established with the Facebook servers when you visit our website. Each time you visit the website, specific information about you as a user will be transferred to Facebook. The transferred data includes your IP address and information about the browser used and the user of the website. Information about the website you visited prior to accessing our website is also transferred. Furthermore, the Facebook pixel also records which buttons the website user clicks on and which web pages are called up as a result of those clicks. It also records the data entered by users in online forms. It cannot be guaranteed that this data will not be transmitted to the USA where it may be accessed by government agencies.
How Facebook processes this data further is out of our control. Further information is available at https://en-gb.facebook.com/business/help/742478679120153 (general information about the Facebook pixel) and in Facebook’s Privacy Policy at www.facebook.com/about/privacy/.

Facebook Page
In addition to our website, we also operate a business Page on Facebook. We use the Page to report on our activities and communicate with customers and potential customers. Facebook is operated by Facebook Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Dublin 2, Ireland (“Facebook”).
Disclaimer
We try to protect your privacy and your confidential data as far as possible with Facebook. If your personal data is processed by us in connection with your visit to our Facebook Page, the stipulations of this Privacy Policy apply without reservation. Since the Page forms part of Facebook’s products and services, it must also be noted that personal data from Facebook is also processed at the same time. We have no influence over how Facebook processes data. In particular, Facebook does not act as a processor for us under our responsibility. According to Facebook, the Facebook policies apply to any data processing that they carry out: https://en-gb.facebook.com/policy.php.
From a data protection point of view, we are jointly responsible with Facebook for operating our Page and analysing user data when visiting the Page. In accordance with the requirements of data protection law, we have reached an agreement with Facebook on the delimitation of responsibility.
Facebook Insights
Facebook offers Page operators the option to obtain an overview of their page use and page users via its Page Insights functionality. Page Insights primarily enables statistical data to be requested and evaluated. We use the data from Page Insights to make our Page as attractive and efficient as possible. For this purpose, Facebook provides us with data that it has generated itself. Facebook provides more detailed information on the functionality and responsibility for its Page Insights here: https://www.facebook.com/legal/terms/page_controller_addendum.
Messenger
Users registered with Facebook can also use its direct messaging service Facebook Messenger. If you contact us via Facebook Messenger, we only store and use the data you share with us for the purpose of responding to your enquiry. The legal basis for processing your data is your consent within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) a) of the EU GDPR and our legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) f) of the EU GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in the recording and processing of customer enquiries, the evaluation of customer enquiries and the monitoring of abuse.

You may withdraw your consent to the processing of your personal data at any time. In this case, we will erase the data immediately provided that there is no underlying reason for it to be stored for longer.
More information about Facebook

Instagram account
In addition to our website, we also operate an account on Instagram. We use our Instagram account to report on our activities and to communicate with customers and potential customers. Instagram is operated by Facebook Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Dublin 2, Ireland (“Facebook”).
Responsibility for data protection
We try to protect your privacy and your confidential data as far as possible with Instagram. If your personal data is processed by us in connection with your visit to our Instagram account, the stipulations of this Privacy Policy apply without reservation. Since the account forms part of Facebook’s products and services, it must also be noted that personal data from Facebook is processed at the same time. We have no influence over how Facebook processes data. In particular, Facebook does not act as a processor for us under our responsibility. According to Facebook, the Facebook policies apply to any data processing that they carry out: https://en-gb.facebook.com/help/instagram/519522125107875.
In respect of data protection law, two separate responsibilities are to be assumed between our company and Facebook for the operation of our Instagram account and the associated communication and evaluation options. If we process your personal data in connection with your visit to our Instagram account and we alone decide on how and why the data is processed, we are responsible for this data processing. This is generally the case if you communicate directly with us via Instagram’s direct messaging function and share your data with us in the process. If Facebook processes your personal data and Facebook alone decides on how and why the data is processed, Facebook alone is responsible for this data processing. A prime example of this is when Facebook evaluates user behaviour for its own purposes.
Instagram Insights
Facebook offers Instagram account operators the option to gain an overview of their account use and its users via its Instagram Insights function. Instagram Insights primarily enables statistical data to be requested and evaluated. We use the data from Instagram Insights to make our Instagram account as attractive and efficient as possible.

Our legitimate interest lies in the recording and processing of customer enquiries, the evaluation of customer enquiries and the monitoring of abuse.
The data is deleted as soon as it is no longer needed to achieve the purpose for which it was collected. This is the case for your personal data once the respective conversation has ended. We deem the conversation to be over once it can be assumed that the matter at hand has been conclusively clarified or resolved.

You are able to withdraw any consent you have given to us at any time with future effect.

If the processing of your personal data is not based on consent, but on another legal basis, you can object to this data processing.

You will be informed about the results of such a review, and, if data processing is to be continued despite your objection, we will provide you with additional information about why such processing is permitted.
