Privacy Notice

Le Bihan Consulting GmbH takes the protection of your personal data very seriously, which is why compliance with legal provisions is a matter of course for us. Le Bihan Consulting GmbH processes your personal data in accordance with the principles of the European General Data Protection Regulation. Le Bihan Consulting GmbH is responsible for data collection and processing. We will therefore process and use your information carefully and in accordance with data protection regulations, and will not pass it on to third parties without your consent.

We collect, process, and use the personal data you provide only for the stated purposes, unless you give us broader consent.

In accordance with the principle of data minimization, we commit to collecting, processing, and using as little personal data as possible. Accordingly, it is initially possible to use our website without providing personal data.

Insofar as personal data is collected on our site (e.g., via a contact or download form), this is done, where possible, on a voluntary basis.

When you communicate with us via email, we process your email address, the information provided in your emails (e.g., name, other contact details from your signature, the content of your emails, or any attachments), and email metadata (e.g., timestamp, sender’s IP address, email programs, and servers traversed during transport, etc.). If you provide us with your business card, we may copy it and enter the personal data contained therein into one of our contact management systems. We process contact data (such as name, email address, phone number, position, and function in the company) of employees of our suppliers or contractual partners (such as key account managers, consultants, business partners, or legal advisors) or of individuals who act directly as our suppliers or contractual partners (such as freelancers).

What personal data is collected?

First and last name, company, email address, phone number (optional), job title (optional)

Purpose of data processing?

We use the data you provide to process your contact, service, and appointment requests, as well as to send you service and product information you may have requested.

Your data is sent to us in encrypted form. All personal data you provide to us is stored on protected computers within Germany. We point out that data transmission over the internet may have security vulnerabilities. Complete protection of data from third-party access is not possible.

Server Log Files

The provider of our website collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits when you visit our website. These include browser type and version, operating system, URL, hostname of the accessing computer, and time of the server request.

This data cannot be assigned to specific individuals. This data is not merged with other data sources. We reserve the right to review this data retrospectively if we become aware of concrete indications of unlawful use of the website. This data will be deleted after 6 months.

Cookies

The internet pages sometimes use so-called cookies. Cookies do not cause any damage to your computer and do not contain viruses. Cookies serve to make our offer more user-friendly, effective, and secure. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer and saved by your browser.

Most of the cookies we use are so-called “session cookies.” They are automatically deleted after your visit ends. Other cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them. These cookies allow us to recognize your browser on your next visit.

You can configure your browser to inform you about the setting of cookies, allow cookies only in individual cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or generally, and activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser.

Facebook Pixel (Facebook Custom Audiences)

Use of the Facebook Pixel (Facebook Custom Audiences):

a) Furthermore, we use the so-called “Facebook Pixel” from Facebook Inc. (“Facebook”) on our website. This allows interest-based advertisements (“Facebook Ads”) to be displayed to users of our website during their visit to the social network Facebook or other websites also using this process. Through the Facebook Pixel, your browser automatically establishes a direct connection with the Facebook server. We have no influence on the scope and further use of the data collected by Facebook through the use of this tool and therefore inform you according to our knowledge: By integrating the Facebook Pixel, Facebook receives the information that you have clicked on an advertisement from us or accessed the corresponding page of our website. If you are registered with a Facebook service, Facebook can assign the visit to your account. Even if you are not registered with Facebook or have not logged in, it is possible that the provider will find out and store your IP address and other identifying features.

b) With the use of the Facebook Pixel, our aim is to display Facebook Ads placed by us only to those Facebook users who have also shown an interest in our online offering. With the help of the Facebook Pixel, we want to ensure that our Facebook Ads correspond to the potential interests of users and do not appear intrusive. Furthermore, with the help of the Facebook Pixel, we can track the effectiveness of Facebook Ads for statistical purposes by seeing whether users were redirected to our website after clicking on a Facebook Ad. The legal basis for the use of the Facebook Pixel is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.

c) You can object to the use of the Facebook Pixel at any time by using the following opt-out option: … [opt-out to be created by the website operator itself as per BayLDA specifications] d) Information of the third-party provider: Facebook Inc., 1601 S California Ave, Palo Alto, California 94304, USA; http://www.facebook.com/policy.php; further information on data collection:

LinkedIn does not share personal data with Le Bihan but provides anonymized reports on website audience and ad performance. Additionally, LinkedIn offers the possibility of retargeting via the Insight Tag. Le Bihan can use this data to display targeted advertising outside its website without identifying you as a website visitor.

reCAPTCHA

To protect your inquiries via internet forms, we use the reCAPTCHA service provided by Google Inc. (Google). The query serves to distinguish whether the input is made by a human or abusively by automated, machine processing.

The query includes sending the IP address and possibly other data required by Google for the reCAPTCHA service to Google. For this purpose, your input will be transmitted to Google and used there. However, your IP address will be truncated by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and truncated there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of this service. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of reCAPTCHA will not be merged with other Google data.

For this data, the differing data protection provisions of Google apply. Further information on Google’s privacy policy can be found at: https://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy/

Integration of YouTube Videos

On some of our web pages, we embed YouTube videos. The operator of the corresponding plugins is YouTube, LLC, 901 Cherry Ave., San Bruno, CA 94066, USA. When you visit a page with the YouTube plugin, a connection to YouTube servers is established. This informs YouTube which pages you are visiting. If you are logged into your YouTube account, YouTube can associate your surfing behavior with you personally. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account beforehand.

If a YouTube video is started, the provider uses cookies that collect information about user behavior.

Anyone who has deactivated the storage of cookies for the Google Ad program will not have to expect such cookies when watching YouTube videos. However, YouTube also stores non-personal usage information in other cookies. If you wish to prevent this, you must block the storage of cookies in your browser.

Further information on data protection at YouTube can be found in the provider’s privacy policy at: https://www.google.de/intl/en/policies/privacy/
