Legal basis of data processing
Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. a GDPR serves our company as the legal basis for processing operations for which we obtain the consent for a specific processing purpose, for example when using cookies (see below). If the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, for example in the case of processing operations necessary for the delivery of goods or the provision of any other service or consideration, the processing is based on Art. 6 (1) lit. b GDPR. The same applies to such processing operations that are necessary to conduct pre-contractual measures, for example in cases of inquiries about our products or services. If our company is subject to a legal obligation that requires the processing of personal data, such as for the fulfilment of tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6 (1) lit. c GDPR. In rare cases, the processing of personal data could become necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person, Art. 6 (1) lit. d GDPR. Processing operations could also be based on Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR. This legal basis is used for processing operations which are not covered by any of the aforementioned legal grounds, if processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by our company or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject. This is, for example, the legal basis for the use of technical security functions and necessary cookies on our website.

Pursuant to Article 77 GDPR, you have the right to complain to a supervisory authority, without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy. As a rule, you can contact the supervisory authority of your usual place of residence or place of work or the place of the place of the alleged infringement if the data subject considers that the processing of personal data concerning him or her violates the General Data Protection Regulation. The competent supervisory authority for Preh GmbH is the LDA Bayern, Postfach 1349, 91504 Ansbach.
Cookies
Our website uses cookies. A cookie is a piece of data that is created when visiting a website and temporarily stored on the system of the user of the website. If the server of our website is called up again by the user of the website, the browser of the user of the website sends the previously received cookie back to the server. The server can evaluate the information obtained through this procedure. Cookies can, for example, be used to control the display of advertisements or to facilitate navigation on a website. Cookies are partly necessary to enable the functionality of our website operation (the legal basis is Art. 6 (1) lit f GDPR, the protection of the legitimate interests of the operator of this website - we use cookies in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit a GDPR, i.e. in accordance with the principles of "lawfulness, fair processing, transparency"). If you want to prevent the use of cookies in general, you can do this through local settings in your Internet browser (e.g., Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome or Safari). If the cookies are not technically necessary, you will find further information on cookies used by tools and plugins in this Privacy Policy.
This website uses functions of the “Matomo” software (www.matomo.org), a service provided by InnoCraft Ltd, 150 Willis St, 6011 Wellington, New Zealand. The software places a cookie on your computer with which your browser can be recognized. The information collected in this way is stored exclusively on our server. It is not passed on to third parties.
(1) IP anonymization
Matomo has been set by us so that your IP address is not stored in full, but 2 bytes of the IP address are masked (e.g. 192.168.xxx.xxx). In this way, an assignment of the shortened IP address to the calling computer is excluded and a direct personal reference is not possible.
(2) Purpose of use
The legal basis on which we process personal data using Matomo is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f of the GDPR. We need the data to analyze the use of our website and individual functions and to optimize the offer of individual components of the website and its user-friendliness. The data is deleted as soon as it is no longer required for our purposes.
(3) Objection & data protection
You can object to the recording of data in the manner described above:
a) You can completely prevent the storage of cookies in your browser. However, this may mean that you will no longer be able to use some functions of our website.
b) You can activate the “Do-not-track” setting in your browser. Our Matomo system is configured to respect this setting.
c) You can create a so-called opt-out cookie, which is valid for two years. This means that Matomo will not register your further visits. Please note, however, that the opt-out cookie will be deleted if you delete all cookies.
Further information on Matomo's data protection can be found at matomo.org/privacy-policy/.
