Different regulations may apply for the use of individual services on our website, which will be explained separately in this case. Personal data (e.g., name, address, email, telephone number, etc.) will only be processed by us in accordance with the provisions of the GDPR. The following regulations provide information about the type, scope, and purpose of the collection, use, and processing of personal data by the provider of the website beQ.com.
Cookies
We use so-called cookies to make our website more user-friendly and easier to use. These small text files are stored by our server on the storage medium of your end device, such as a hard drive. Cookies cannot execute programs or transfer viruses to your end device.
Our website uses the following types of cookies, the scope and functionality of which are explained below:
Transient cookies: These cookies are automatically deleted when you close your web browser. This includes session cookies in particular. These store a so-called session ID, which can be used to assign various requests from your web browser to the shared session. Session cookies are deleted as soon as you log out or close your web browser.
Persistent cookies: These cookies are automatically deleted after a specified period, which may vary depending on the cookie. You can delete these cookies at any time in the security settings of your web browser.
You can configure settings to, for example, reject third-party cookies or cookies altogether.

Server Logs
The website operator or page provider collects data about access to the site and stores it as “server log files.” The following data is logged:
- Visited website
- Date and time of access
- Amount of data sent in bytes
- Source/reference from which you accessed the site
- Browser used and operating system used
- used IP address
This data is evaluated for statistical and security purposes as well as for optimizing the internet offering. There is no personal evaluation or profiling.
However, the website operator reserves the right to subsequently check the server log files if there are concrete indications of unlawful use.
Respect for “Do Not Track“
We naturally respect “Do Not Track” (DNT)
We would like to point out that disabling cookies altogether may cause malfunctions when using our website and may not reliably prevent data transmission to Google Analytics. Therefore, we recommend using the “Do Not Track” option (DNT) of your internet browser. Depending on the browser, this is either a switch in the program settings or a module to be installed later (add-on or plug-in). If this option is activated, your browser signals to our web server that you do not wish for tracking measures without your explicit consent. This ensures maximum data protection without requiring further measures regarding our internet presence from you.
The procedure for activating the “Do Not Track” option may vary depending on the internet browser used. Please follow the links below for instructions:

Social Media
For data protection reasons, our website does not use plugins from well-known social media networks (e.g., Facebook’s “Like” button, Twitter’s “Tweet” button, Google’s “Plus” button) because these buttons already transmit information when the linked social media network is loaded, without users having any influence on this. Instead, we have only provided links to the respective platforms.
Google Analytics
This website uses Google Analytics and Google Remarketing. These are services provided by Google Inc. (“Google”). Google uses so-called “cookies,” which are text files stored on your computer and which allow an analysis of your use of the website. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website (including your IP address) is transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. The IP address is then shortened by Google to the last three digits, so that a unique assignment of the IP address is no longer possible. Google complies with the data protection regulations of the “EU-US Privacy Shield” agreement and is registered with the “Privacy Shield” program of the US Department of Commerce.
Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity for website operators, and to provide other services related to website activity and internet usage. Google may also transfer this information to third parties if required by law or if third parties process this data on behalf of Google.
DerYou can object to the collection and storage of data at any time with effect for the future. You can deactivate the use of cookies by Google by adjusting your browser settings accordingly, by visiting the page www.google.de/privacy/ads and clicking the “opt-out” button. Alternatively, you can deactivate the use of cookies by third-party providers by visiting the deactivation page of the Network Advertising Initiative at www.networkadvertising.org/managing/opt_out.asp. Further information on Google’s provisions can be found at www.google.com/intl/de/privacy.
However, please note that in this case you may not be able to use all functions of this website to their full extent. By using this website, you agree to the processing of the data collected about you by Google in the manner and for the purposes described above.
For more information, please visit tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout or https://www.google.com/analytics/learn/privacy.html (general information about Google Analytics and privacy). We would like to point out that Google Analytics on this website has been extended with the code “gat._anonymizeIp();” in order to ensure anonymized collection of IP addresses (so-called IP masking).
Links to Other Websites
The website beQ.com contains links to websites of other providers not affiliated with us (third parties). When you click on these links, the operator of beQ.com no longer has any influence on which data is collected and used by these providers. More detailed information on data collection and usage can be found in the privacy policy of the respective provider. Since data collection and processing by third parties are naturally beyond our control, we cannot assume any responsibility for this. Therefore, if you leave beQ.com by clicking on such a link, we will clearly indicate to the best of our technical ability that you are accessing another internet provider. If this is not already clearly evident from the text, we will label the link to a foreign website with the note “external link.”

In this case, the information provided by the user will be stored for the purpose of processing their contact. There is no disclosure to third parties. There is also no comparison of the data collected in this way with data that may be collected by other components of our website.
Information, Correction, Deletion, Blocking
You have the fundamental rights to information, correction, deletion, restriction, data portability, revocation, and objection regarding your personal data.
Die The deletion of stored personal data takes place when you revoke your consent to storage or when the knowledge of this data is no longer necessary to fulfill the purpose pursued with the storage. However, deletion only takes place after the deadlines of tax and commercial law regulations have expired.
