For encoway, it is especially important to ensure the maximum possible protection for your personal data. Our web activities in all the countries where we maintain websites are therefore in accordance with the respective laws on data protection and data security.

Below, we will explain what information we collect and what we do with it.

Personal data

We do not collect any personal data via our websites without your consent. You alone decide whether or not you want us to disclose this data, for example as part of a registration, a download or similar. Your personal data will be used, for example, to respond to your inquiry, process your order or provide you with access to specific information or offers. In order to maintain customer relations it may also be useful for us to store and process your personal data.

We will of course respect your wishes if you do not want to provide us with your personal data to support our customer relationship, in particular for direct marketing or market research. We will not sell your personal data.

When you enter data in forms, you do so voluntarily. The consent to the collection, storage and processing of your data can be revoked. The revocation does not affect the lawfulness of the data processing up to the time of the revocation.

Data protection for free offers on our website

Some of our free offers (e.g. document downloads) require special maintenance and support efforts on our part. We therefore make their use subject to your consent to the use of your registration data in return for our efforts. These are personal master data and contact data. We use the data to contact you by email, to potentially generate new business in return for the free use of our downloads and registrations for webinars and the like. In doing so, we rely on the legal basis of Art. 6 para. 1 a) DSGVO. We store the data until you withdraw your consent to be contacted. Your personal data will not be transferred to third parties.

Use of HubSpot

We use HubSpotfor our online marketing activities. This is an integrated software solution that covers various aspects of our online marketing.

These include:

  • Email marketing (newsletters and automated mailings, for example for providing downloads)
  • Social media publishing & reporting
  • Reporting (e.g. traffic sources, accesses etc.)
  • Contact management (e.g. user segmentation & CRM)
  • Landing pages and contact forms

Our sign-up service allows visitors to our website to learn more about our company, download content, and provide their contact information and other demographic information.

We use your personal data collected in the context of online marketing, in particular the areas of interest indicated, in order to provide you with personalised product and service offers. By providing us with your name, you enable us to address you personally and simplify the management of your data. Your address data, in particular your postcode, enables us to provide you with regionally tailored offers.

Furthermore, we constantly strive to improve our offering. This also includes the evaluation of the newsletters we send, for example whether the communicated email address is actually accessible, which newsletters are opened, which links are clicked within the newsletter, and whether a response ((automatic) reply, error message, etc.) has been generated.

This information and the contents of our website are stored on servers of our software partner HubSpot. They can be used by us to get in contact with visitors to our website and to determine which services of our company are of interest to them.

All the information we collect is subject to this data protection statement. We use all the information collected exclusively to optimise our marketing.

This website uses social plug-ins from the social network Facebook. The operator is Meta Platforms Ltd, Grand Canal Harbor Dublin 2, Ireland (hereinafter “Facebook”). The Facebook button on our website can be recognised by the white “f” on a blue tile or the “thumbs up” sign.

When you click on this button, data is transmitted to the corresponding social network. This includes the date and time of the visit to the website, the internet address or URL at which the visitor is located, as well as technical data on the IP address, the browser used and the operating system used by the visitor, plus the user identification number if the visitor to Facebook is logged in.

Use of the Facebook pixel

he Facebook pixel of the social network Facebook (Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, Merrion Road, Dublin 4, D04 X2K5, Ireland) is used on our website. With the help of the Facebook pixel, Facebook is able to determine the visitors to our website as a target group for the display of adverts (so-called “Facebook Ads”). We use Facebook Pixel to display our Facebook Ads only to Facebook users who have shown an interest in our online offering or who have certain characteristics (e.g. interests in certain topics or products) that we transmit to Facebook. With the help of the Facebook pixel, we want to ensure that our Facebook ads correspond to the potential interest of users and are not annoying.
Data collection and processing:
When you visit our website, a direct connection is established between your browser and the Facebook server via the Facebook pixel. Facebook thereby receives the information that you have visited our site with your IP address. If you are logged in to Facebook, Facebook can assign your visit to our website to your user account. The data collected is anonymous to us, i.e. we do not receive any knowledge of the content of the transmitted data or its use by Facebook. However, Facebook stores and processes the data so that a connection to the respective user profile is possible. Further information on data processing by Facebook can be found in Facebook’s privacy policy at https://www.facebook.com/policy.php
Legal basis:
The Facebook pixel is used on the basis of your consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future by adjusting the corresponding settings in our consent tool.
Opt-out option:
If you do not want Facebook to associate the information collected with your Facebook user account, you can log out of your Facebook account before visiting our website. You can also deactivate the use of the Facebook pixel via your browser settings or via the Facebook opt-out function.
