This information is evaluated for statistical purposes. As an individual user, you remain anonymous.

These data are not combined with other data sources. The basis for data processing is Art. 6 Para. 1 lit.b GDPR, which allows the processing of data for the performance of a contract or pre-contractual measures.

Google Analytics uses “cookies”, which are text files placed on your computer to help the website analyze how users use the site. The information generated by the cookie about your use of the website (including your IP address) will be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States. Google will use this information for the purposes of evaluating your use of the website, compiling reports on website activity for website operators and providing other services relating to website activity and internet usage. Google may also transfer this information to third parties where required to do so by law or where such third parties process the information on Google’s behalf. Google will not associate your IP address with any other data held by Google.

You can revoke your consent to the future collection and storage of your data at any time.

In view of the discussion about the use of analytics tools that capture entire IP addresses, we would like to inform you that this website employs Google Analytics with the “anonymizeIp()” function. This function processes a shortened version of your IP address only so that it cannot be linked to your personal data.

Personal information is only recorded if you provide this information, for example, in connection with an enquiry. Personal information is transferred to governmental institutions and authorities only in compliance with mandatory national legal regulations. Our employees have been instructed to treat personal information with strictest confidentiality.

External links of websites of third parties refer to websites of other providers. Docter Optics SE has no influence over the content or design of these websites. The guarantees made in this statement of privacy policy do not therefore apply in such cases.

Social Media

No data-processing social media plug-ins from social networks are used on the Docter Optics website. Our homepage only contains buttons labeled with the social networks Facebook, Instagram, Xing and LinkedIn or their logos. By clicking on the button you will be forwarded to the respective social network via a qualified link. The user's personal data is not collected by the buttons or transmitted to the operators of the social networks.

Our social media company pages serve the purpose of giving you insights into our company, bringing you closer to products and services, and connecting and exchanging ideas with you.

When you visit our social media pages, we collect your personal data on the basis of legitimate interest and the adaptation of our content to your interests.

As part of the Page Insights supplement, Facebook has agreed to accept and share responsibility for the data collected and used in conjunction with the Facebook/Instagram fan pages. Further information about the Facebook Page Insights supplement can be found at the following link: https://www.facebook.com/legal/terms/information_about_page_insights_data.

When Facebook is processing data, it can happen that data is processed outside the confines of the EU. In these cases, Facebook uses standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission and the adequacy decisions issued by the European Commission regarding certain countries. You can find more information about this at: https://www.facebook.com/policy.php.

Furthermore, it is also possible that Facebook uses user data for market research and advertising purposes. It is possible that this will be used, among other things, to create usage profiles based on user behaviour (and based on the resulting fields of interest). And again, by employing these usage profiles as a basis, advertisements, for example, can be placed on or outside Facebook. To that end, cookies are regularly stored on users' computers. These cookies save user behaviour and also the interests of each individual user. Such usage profiles can also include additional Facebook data, particularly if the user has a Facebook account. Further details on this can be found in the data protection information provided by Facebook.

If you would like to contact us by e-mail or by using our web-based form, we cannot guarantee the confidentiality of the information transferred.
