Personal data (usually referred to just as „data“ below) will only be processed by us to the extent
necessary and for the purpose of providing a functional and user-friendly website, including its
contents, and the services offered there.
Per Art. 4 No. 1 of Regulation (EU) 2016/679, i.e. the General Data Protection Regulation (hereinafter
referred to as the „GDPR“), „processing“ refers to any operation or set of operations such as
collection, recording, organization, structuring, storage, adaptation, alteration, retrieval, consultation,
use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination, or otherwise making available, alignment, or
combination, restriction, erasure, or destruction performed on personal data, whether by automated
means or not.
The following privacy policy is intended to inform you in particular about the type, scope, purpose,
duration, and legal basis for the processing of such data either under our own control or in conjunction
with others. We also inform you below about the third-party components we use to optimize our
website and improve the user experience which may result in said third parties also processing data
they collect and control.
Our privacy policy is structured as follows:
I. Information about us as controllers of your data
II. The rights of users and data subjects
III. Information about the data processing
I. Information about us as controllers of your data
The party responsible for this website (the „controller“) for purposes of data protection law is:
Energy Robotics GmbH
Hilpertstr. 3164295
Darmstadt, Germany
Phone: +49 6151 49352 97
Email: info@energy-robotics.com
The controller’s data protection officer is: Dr. Dorian Scholz, Marc Dassler
II. The rights of users and data subjects
With regard to the data processing to be described in more detail below, users and data subjects have
the right
to confirmation of whether data concerning them is being processed, information about the
data being processed, further information about the nature of the data processing, and copies
of the data (cf. also Art. 15 GDPR);
to correct or complete incorrect or incomplete data (cf. also Art. 16 GDPR);
to the immediate deletion of data concerning them (cf. also Art. 17 DSGVO), or, alternatively, if
further processing is necessary as stipulated in Art. 17 Para. 3 GDPR, to restrict said
processing per Art. 18 GDPR;
to receive copies of the data concerning them and/or provided by them and to have the same
transmitted to other providers/controllers (cf. also Art. 20 GDPR);
to file complaints with the supervisory authority if they believe that data concerning them is
being processed by the controller in breach of data protection provisions (see also Art. 77
GDPR).
In addition, the controller is obliged to inform all recipients to whom it discloses data of any such
corrections, deletions, or restrictions placed on processing the same per Art. 16, 17 Para. 1, 18 GDPR.
However, this obligation does not apply if such notification is impossible or involves a disproportionate
effort. Nevertheless, users have a right to information about these recipients.
Likewise, under Art. 21 GDPR, users and data subjects have the right to object to the
controller’s future processing of their data pursuant to Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. In particular,
an objection to data processing for the purpose of direct advertising is permissible.
III. Information about the data processing
Your data processed when using our website will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose for its
storage ceases to apply, provided the deletion of the same is not in breach of any statutory storage
obligations or unless otherwise stipulated below.
Cookie Manager
To obtain consent for the use of technically unnecessary cookies on the website, the provider uses a
cookie manager.
When the website is called up, a cookie with the settings information is stored on the end device of the
user so that the request for consent does not have to be made on a subsequent visit.
The cookie is required to obtain legally compliant user consent.
You can prevent cookies from being installed by adjusting the settings on your internet browser.
Cookies
a) Session cookies
We use cookies on our website. Cookies are small text files or other storage technologies stored on
your computer by your browser. These cookies process certain specific information about you, such as
your browser, location data, or IP address.
This processing makes our website more user-friendly, efficient, and secure, allowing us, for example,
to display our website in different languages or to offer a shopping cart function.
The legal basis for such processing is Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b) GDPR, insofar as these cookies are used to
collect data to initiate or process contractual relationships.
If the processing does not serve to initiate or process a contract, our legitimate interest lies in
improving the functionality of our website. The legal basis is then Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f) GDPR.
When you close your browser, these session cookies are deleted.
b) Third-party cookies
If necessary, our website may also use cookies from companies with whom we cooperate for the
purpose of advertising, analyzing, or improving the features of our website.
Please refer to the following information for details, in particular for the legal basis and purpose of such
third-party collection and processing of data collected through cookies.
c) Disabling cookies
You can refuse the use of cookies by changing the settings on your browser. Likewise, you can use
the browser to delete cookies that have already been stored. However, the steps and measures
required vary, depending on the browser you use. If you have any questions, please use the help
function or consult the documentation for your browser or contact its maker for support. Browser
settings cannot prevent so-called flash cookies from being set. Instead, you will need to change the
setting of your Flash player. The steps and measures required for this also depend on the Flash player
you are using. If you have any questions, please use the help function or consult the documentation
for your Flash player or contact its maker for support.
If you prevent or restrict the installation of cookies, not all of the functions on our site may be fully
usable.
Contact
If you contact us via email or the contact form, the data you provide will be used for the purpose of
processing your request. We must have this data in order to process and answer your inquiry;
otherwise we will not be able to answer it in full or at all.
The legal basis for this data processing is Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b) GDPR.
Your data will be deleted once we have fully answered your inquiry and there is no further legal
obligation to store your data, such as if an order or contract resulted therefrom.
Newsletter
If you register for our free newsletter, the data requested from you for this purpose, i.e. your email
address and, optionally, your name and address, will be sent to us. We also store the IP address of
your computer and the date and time of your registration. During the registration process, we will
obtain your consent to receive this newsletter and the type of content it will offer, with reference made
to this privacy policy. The data collected will be used exclusively to send the newsletter and will not be
passed on to third parties.
The legal basis for this is Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a) GDPR.
You may revoke your prior consent to receive this newsletter under Art. 7 Para. 3 GDPR with future
effect. All you have to do is inform us that you are revoking your consent or click on the unsubscribe
link contained in each newsletter.
Server data
For technical reasons, the following data sent by your internet browser to us or to our server provider
will be collected, especially to ensure a secure and stable website: These server log files record the
type and version of your browser, operating system, the website from which you came (referrer URL),
the webpages on our site visited, the date and time of your visit, as well as the IP address from which
you visited our site.
The data thus collected will be temporarily stored, but not in association with any other of your data.
The basis for this storage is Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in the improvement,
stability, functionality, and security of our website.
The data will be deleted within no more than seven days, unless continued storage is required for
evidentiary purposes. In which case, all or part of the data will be excluded from deletion until the
investigation of the relevant incident is finally resolved.

Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics on our website. This is a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland
Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Irland (hereinafter: Google).
The Google Analytics service is used to analyze how our website is used. The legal basis is Art. 6
Para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in the analysis, optimization, and economic operation
of our site.
Usage and user-related information, such as IP address, place, time, or frequency of your visits to our
website will be transmitted to a Google server in the United States and stored there. However, we use
Google Analytics with the so-called anonymization function, whereby Google truncates the IP address
within the EU or the EEA before it is transmitted to the US.
The data collected in this way is in turn used by Google to provide us with an evaluation of visits to our
website and what visitors do once there. This data can also be used to provide other services related
to the use of our website and of the internet in general.
Google states that it will not connect your IP address to other data. In addition, Google provides further
information with regard to its data protection practices at
https://www.google.com/intl/de/policies/privacy/partners,
including options you can exercise to prevent such use of your data.
In addition, Google offers an opt-out add-on at
https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en
in addition with further information. This add-on can be installed on the most popular browsers and
offers you further control over the data that Google collects when you visit our website. The add-on
informs Google Analytics‘ JavaScript (ga.js) that no information about the website visit should be
transmitted to Google Analytics. However, this does not prevent information from being transmitted to
us or to other web analytics services we may use as detailed herein.
Cookiebot
We use Cookiebot to display cookie banners. Cookiebot is a product of Cybot A/S, Havnegade 39,
1058 Copenhagen, Denmark, hereinafter „Cybot.“
Cookiebot informs you about the use of cookies on the website and allows you to make a decision
about their use.
If you agree to the use of cookies, the following data will be automatically recorded by Cybot:
• your anonymized IP address;
• the date and time of your consent;
• the user agent of your browser;
• the provider’s URL;
• an anonymous, random, and encrypted key.
• your cookie status which serves as proof of consent.
The encrypted key and cookie status are stored by means of a cookie on your device to enable the
corresponding cookie status to be restored when you return to our site. This cookie automatically
deletes after 12 months.
The legal basis for this processing of data is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. Our legitimate interest is in the
user-friendliness of the website and the fulfillment of the statutory requirements of GDPR.

which IP address the reCAPTCHA input box has been used. In addition to your IP address, Google
may collect other information necessary to provide and guarantee this service.
The legal basis is Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in the security of our website

Google AdWords with Conversion Tracking
Our website uses Google AdWords and conversion tracking. This is a service provided by Google
Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Irland (hereinafter: Google).
We use conversion tracking to provide targeted promotion of our site. In case you have granted your
consent to this processing the legal basis is Article 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. The legal basis can also be
Article 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in the analysis, optimization, and economic
operation of our site.
If you click on an ad placed by Google, the conversion tracking we use stores a cookie on your device.
These so-called conversion cookies expire after 30 days and do not otherwise identify you personally.
If the cookie is still valid and you visit a specific page of our website, both we and Google can evaluate
that you clicked on one of our ads placed on Google and that you were then forwarded to our website.
The data collected in this way is in turn used by Google to provide us with an evaluation of visits to our
website and what visitors do once there. In addition, we receive information about the number of users
who clicked on our advertisement(s) as well as about the pages on our site that are subsequently
visited. Neither we nor third parties who also use Google AdWords will be able to identify you from this
conversion tracking.
You can also prevent or restrict the installation of cookies by making the appropriate settings in your
browser. Likewise, you can use the browser to delete cookies that have already been stored. However,
the steps and measures required vary, depending on the browser you use. If you have any questions,
please use the help function or consult the documentation for your browser or contact its maker for
support.

Google Remarketing
We use the remarketing function on our website. This is a service provided by Google Ireland Limited,
Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Irland (hereinafter: Google).
We use this feature to deliver interest-based, personalized advertising on third-party websites that also
participate in Google’s advertising network.
In case you have granted your consent to this processing the legal basis is Article 6 para. 1 lit. a
GDPR. The legal basis can also be Article 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in the
analysis, optimization, and economic operation of our site.
To allow this advertising service to function, Google stores a cookie with a sequence of numbers on
your device via your browser when you visit our website. This cookie records both your visit and the
use of our website in anonymous form. However, personal data will not be passed on. If you
subsequently visit a third-party website that also uses the Google advertising network, advertising may
appear that refers to our website or our offers there.
To permanently disable this feature, Google provides a browser plugin for most common browsers at
https://www.google.com/settings/ads/plugin?hl=de
Likewise, the use of cookies from certain providers, e.g. via
http://www.youronlinechoices.com/uk/your-ad-choices/
or
http://www.networkadvertising.org/choices/
can be deactivated by opt-out.
Cross-device marketing allows Google to track your usage patterns across multiple devices, so you
may see interest-based, personalized advertising even when you switch devices. However, this
requires that you have agreed to link your browsing history to your existing Google account.
Google offers more information about Google Remarketing at
