a) When visiting the website

When you visit our website www.red-line-logistics.com, the browser used on your device automatically sends information to the server of our website. This information is temporarily stored in a so-called log file. The following information is collected without any action on your part and stored until it is automatically deleted:

  • IP address of the requesting computer,
  • Date and time of access,
  • Name and URL of the retrieved file,
  • Website from which access is made (referrer URL),
  • the browser used and, if applicable, the operating system of your computer and the name of your access provider.

We process the aforementioned data for the following purposes:

  • Ensuring a smooth connection to the website,
  • To ensure a comfortable use of our website,
  • Evaluation of system security and stability and
  • for other administrative purposes.

The legal basis for data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR. Our legitimate interest follows from the purposes for data collection listed above. Under no circumstances do we use the data collected for the purpose of drawing conclusions about your person. We also use cookies and analysis services when you visit our website. You can find more detailed explanations on this in Sections. 4 and 5 of this privacy policy.

b) When using our contact form

For questions of any kind, we offer you the opportunity to contact us via a form provided on the website. It is necessary to provide a valid e-mail address so that we know who sent the request and can answer it. Further information can be provided voluntarily.

  • this is legally permissible and in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. B GDPR for the processing of contractual relationships with you.

As a rule, the involvement of instruction-dependent service providers is required for contract processing, such as data center operators, transport or shipping service providers or other parties involved in the fulfillment of the contract. External service providers who process data on our behalf are carefully selected and strictly bound by contract, e.g. through strict technical and organizational measures as well as additional controls.

a) Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics, a web analysis service of Google Inc(https://www.google.de/intl/de/about/)(1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; hereinafter referred to as “Google”) for the purpose of designing and continuously optimizing our pages to meet your needs.

This information may also be transferred to third parties if this is required by law or if third parties process this data on our behalf.

You may refuse the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser, however please note that if you do this you may not be able to use the full functionality of this website.

b) Google Adwords Conversion Tracking

We also use Google Conversion Tracking to statistically record the use of our website and to evaluate it for the purpose of optimizing our website for you. Google Adwords places a cookie (see section 4) on your computer if you have reached our website via a Google ad. These cookies lose their validity after 30 days and are not used for personal identification. If the user visits certain pages of the Adwords customer’s website and the cookie has not yet expired, Google and the customer can recognize that the user clicked on the ad and was redirected to this page. Each Adwords customer receives a different cookie. Cookies can therefore not be tracked via the websites of Adwords customers. The information collected using the conversion cookie is used to generate conversion statistics for Adwords customers who have opted for conversion tracking. Adwords customers learn the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a page with a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not receive any information with which users can be personally identified. If you do not wish to participate in the tracking process, you can also refuse the setting of a cookie required for this – for example, by changing your browser settings to generally deactivate the automatic setting of cookies. You can also deactivate cookies for conversion tracking by setting your browser to block cookies from the domain “www.googleadservices.com”. You can find Google’s privacy policy on conversion tracking here(https://services.google.com/sitestats/de.html).
