--- title: "dipende – Supply Chain Consulting: Privacy Policy" url: /en/privacy-policy date: 2026-09-05 modified: 2026-09-05 --- # dipende – Supply Chain Consulting: Privacy Policy Privacy Policy ================ Controller ---------- dipende Gartenstraße 9a 89294 Oberroth Email: see footer Collection and processing of personal data ------------------------------------------ We process personal data only to the extent necessary to provide this website and its content, or where you provide such data voluntarily, e.g. when contacting us by email. Server log files ---------------- When you visit this website, our hosting provider, Hetzner Online GmbH, automatically collects information in so-called server log files (e.g. browser type, operating system, referrer URL, time of the server request, IP address). Cookies ------- This website sets exactly one cookie: `fe_typo_user`, a session cookie (deleted when you close your browser) with no tracking purpose. It's set when you visit the Contact page and is used for the contact form's spam protection (detecting automated form submissions). As a technically necessary cookie, it does not require consent under German law (§ 25(2) no. 2 TTDSG). Even so, the cookie notice at the bottom of the screen lets you choose whether this cookie may be set. If you decline, the cookie won't be stored in your browser - spam protection for your submission is then limited, but the form still works. Your choice itself is stored in a further, likewise purely technical cookie (`dipende_cookie_consent`, 180 days). Analytics (Matomo) ------------------ With your consent, we use the self-hosted, open-source analytics tool Matomo to understand how this website is used (e.g. pages visited, time on page, device type). Matomo runs exclusively on our own server; no data is shared with any third party or with Google. Your IP address is anonymised before it is stored. Without your consent via the cookie notice, no analytics cookie is set and no analytics request is sent to our server - Matomo stays inactive. You can withdraw your consent at any time via the cookie notice; the legal basis is your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). Contacting us ------------- If you contact us by email, your details will be stored in order to process your inquiry. Your data will not be shared with third parties. Free checklists (quick checks) ------------------------------ On our service pages, you can request free PDF checklists. To do so, we need your name and email address. By submitting the form, you consent to us processing this data to send you the requested checklist by email and to get in touch with you about your inquiry if there is interest. The legal basis is your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). You can withdraw your consent at any time by emailing info@dipende.de. Storage duration ---------------- We store personal data only for as long as necessary for the respective purpose, or until you withdraw your consent. We delete inquiries submitted via the contact form or the checklist forms once they have been fully processed and no statutory retention obligations apply. Your rights ----------- You have the right, at any time, to request information about, correction of, deletion of, and restriction of processing of your personal data, as well as the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority.
