1. introduction
With the following information, we would like to give you as a "data subject" an overview of the processing of your personal data by us and your rights under data protection laws. It is generally possible to use our website without entering personal data. However, if you wish to make use of special services of our company via our website, it may be necessary to process personal data. If the processing of personal data is necessary and there is no legal basis for such processing, we will generally obtain your consent.
The processing of personal data, such as your name, address or e-mail address, is always carried out in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and in accordance with the country-specific data protection regulations applicable to "BOGE KOMPRESSOREN Otto Boge GmbH & Co. KG". By means of this data protection declaration, we would like to inform you about the scope and purpose of the personal data collected, used and processed by us.
As the controller, we have implemented numerous technical and organisational measures to ensure that the personal data processed via this website is protected as completely as possible. Nevertheless, Internet-based data transmissions can generally have security gaps, so that absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, you are free to transmit personal data to us by alternative means, for example by telephone or post.
You too can take simple and easy-to-implement measures to protect yourself against unauthorised access to your data by third parties. We would therefore like to give you some tips here on how to handle your data securely:
Passwords should consist of at least 12 characters and be chosen in such a way that they cannot be easily guessed. Therefore, they should not contain common everyday words, your own name or the names of relatives, but should contain upper and lower case letters, numbers and special characters.

4. definitions
The data protection declaration is based on the terms used by the European legislator for the adoption of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Our privacy policy should be easy to read and understand for the public as well as for our customers and business partners. To ensure this, we would like to explain the terms used in advance.
We use the following terms, among others, in this privacy policy:
1. personal data
Personal data is any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. An identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person.
2. person concerned
Data subject is any identified or identifiable natural person whose personal data is processed by the controller (our company).
3. processing
Processing is any operation or set of operations which is performed on personal data or on sets of personal data, whether or not by automated means, such as collection, recording, organisation, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure or destruction.
4. restriction of processing
Restriction of processing is the marking of stored personal data with the aim of restricting its future processing.
5. profiling
Profiling is any form of automated processing of personal data consisting of the use of personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to analyse or predict aspects concerning that natural person's performance at work, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behaviour, location or movements.
6. pseudonymisation
Pseudonymisation is the processing of personal data in such a manner that the personal data can no longer be attributed to a specific data subject without the use of additional information, provided that such additional information is kept separately and is subject to technical and organisational measures to ensure that the personal data are not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.
7. processors
Processor is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which processes personal data on behalf of the controller.
8. recipient
Recipient is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or another body, to which the personal data are disclosed, whether a third party or not. However, public authorities which may receive personal data in the framework of a particular enquiry in accordance with Union or Member State law shall not be regarded as recipients.
9. third party
Third party is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or body other than the data subject, controller, processor and persons who, under the direct authority of the controller or processor, are authorised to process personal data.
10. consent
Consent is any freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous indication of the data subject's wishes by which he or she, by a statement or by a clear affirmative action, signifies agreement to the processing of personal data relating to him or her.
5. legal basis of the processing
Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR (in conjunction with. § Section 25 (1) TDDDG (formerly TTDSG)) serves our company as the legal basis for processing operations for which we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose.
If the processing of personal data is necessary for the fulfilment of a contract to which you are a party, as is the case, for example, with processing operations that are necessary for the delivery of goods or the provision of another service or consideration, the processing is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b) GDPR. The same applies to such processing operations that are necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures, for example in cases of enquiries about our products or services.
If our company is subject to a legal obligation which requires the processing of personal data, such as for the fulfilment of tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c) GDPR.
In rare cases, it may be necessary to process personal data in order to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor to our company were injured and their name, age, health insurance details or other vital information would have to be passed on to a doctor, hospital or other third party. The processing would then be based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. d) GDPR.
Ultimately, processing operations could be based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. This legal basis is used for processing operations which are not covered by any of the abovementioned legal grounds, if processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by our company or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject which require protection of personal data. We are permitted to carry out such processing operations in particular because they have been specifically mentioned by the European legislator. In this respect, it took the view that a legitimate interest could be assumed if you are a customer of our company (Recital 47 Sentence 2 GDPR).
Our services are generally aimed at adults. Persons under the age of 16 may not transmit any personal data to us without the consent of their parents or legal guardians. We do not request personal data from children and young people, do not collect it and do not pass it on to third parties.
6. transmission of data to third parties
Your personal data will not be transferred to third parties for purposes other than those listed below.
We only pass on your personal data to third parties if:
1. you have given us your express consent to do so in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR,
2. the disclosure pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR is permitted to protect our legitimate interests and there is no reason to assume that you have an overriding interest worthy of protection in not disclosing your data,
3. in the event that there is a legal obligation for disclosure pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c) GDPR, and
4. this is legally permissible and necessary for the processing of contractual relationships with you in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b) GDPR.
In order to protect your data and, if necessary, to enable us to transfer data to third countries (outside the EU/EEA), we have concluded data processing agreements based on the European Commission's standard contractual clauses. If the standard contractual clauses are not sufficient to establish an adequate level of security, your consent may serve as the legal basis for the transfer to third countries in accordance with Art. 49 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR. This sometimes does not apply to data transfers to third countries for which the European Commission has issued an adequacy decision in accordance with Art. 45 GDPR.
7. technology
7.1 SSL/TLS encryption
This site uses SSL or TLS encryption to ensure the security of data processing and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders, login data or contact enquiries that you send to us as the operator. You can recognise an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser contains "https://" instead of "http://" and by the lock symbol in your browser line.
We use this technology to protect your transmitted data.
7.2 Data collection when visiting the website
If you only use our website for information purposes, if you do not register or otherwise provide us with information or do not give your consent to processing that requires consent, we only collect the data that is technically necessary for the provision of the service. This is regularly data that your browser transmits to our server ("in so-called server log files"). Our website collects a range of general data and information each time you or an automated system accesses a page. This general data and information is stored in the server log files. The following can be recorded:
1. browser types and versions used,
2. the operating system used by the accessing system,
3. the website from which an accessing system reaches our website (so-called referrer),
4. the subpages that are accessed via an accessing system on our website,
5. the date and time of access to the website,
6. a shortened Internet Protocol address (anonymised IP address) and,
7. the Internet service provider of the accessing system.
When using this general data and information, we do not draw any conclusions about your person. Rather, this information is required in order to
1. to deliver the content of our website correctly,
2. to optimise the content of our website and the advertising for it,
3. to ensure the permanent functionality of our IT systems and the technology of our website, and
4. to provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for prosecution in the event of a cyber-attack.
This collected data and information is therefore analysed by us both statistically and with the aim of increasing data protection and data security in our company in order to ultimately ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data processed by us. The anonymous data of the server log files are stored separately from all personal data provided by a data subject.
The legal basis for data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest follows from the data collection purposes listed above.
7.3 Encrypted payment transactions
If there is an obligation to provide us with your payment data (e.g. the account number when issuing a direct debit authorisation) after the conclusion of a chargeable contract, this data is required for payment processing.
Payment transactions via the usual means of payment (Visa/MasterCard or direct debit) are made exclusively via an encrypted SSL or TLS connection. You can recognise an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from "http://" to "https://" and by the lock symbol in your browser line.
We use this technology to protect your transmitted data.
7.4 UNPKG (Content Delivery Network)
We display icons (favicons) on our website using the content delivery network (CDN) "UNPKG". This is an open source CDN operated by CloudFlare, Inc. 665 3rd St. #200, San Francisco, CA 94107, USA. When you call up a page, your browser loads the required symbols into your browser cache in order to display them correctly.
For this purpose, the browser you use must connect to the servers of UNPKG. This gives UNPKG knowledge that our website has been accessed via your IP address.
The display of favicons with the help of the CDN is in the interest of a uniform and appealing presentation of our online offers. This constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. If a corresponding consent has been requested, the processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR.
Further information on displaying favicons using the UNPKG CDN can be found at: https://unpkg.com/browse/@mdi/svg@7.2.96/.
8. cookies
8.1 General information on cookies
Cookies are small files that your browser automatically creates and that are stored on your IT system (laptop, tablet, smartphone, etc.) when you visit our website.
Information is stored in the cookie that results from the connection with the specific end device used. However, this does not mean that we obtain direct knowledge of your identity.
The use of cookies serves to make the use of our website more pleasant for you. For example, we use so-called session cookies to recognise that you have already visited individual pages of our website. These are automatically deleted after you leave our site.
In addition, we also use temporary cookies to optimise user-friendliness, which are stored on your end device for a specified period of time. If you visit our site again to use our services, it is automatically recognised that you have already visited us and which entries and settings you have made so that you do not have to enter them again.
On the other hand, we use cookies to statistically record the use of our website and to evaluate our offer for you for the purpose of optimisation. These cookies enable us to automatically recognise that you have already visited our website when you visit it again. The cookies set in this way are automatically deleted after a defined period of time. The respective storage duration of the cookies can be found in the settings of the consent tool used.
8.2 Legal basis for the use of cookies
The data processed by the cookies, which are required for the proper functioning of the website, are therefore necessary to safeguard our legitimate interests and those of third parties in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR.
For all other cookies, you have given your consent to this via our opt-in cookie banner within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR.
8.3 Usercentrics (Consent Management Tool)
We use the consent management tool "Usercentrics" from Usercentrics GmbH, Sendlinger Str. 7, 80331 Munich, Germany. This service enables us to obtain and manage the consent of website users for data processing.
Usercentrics collects data generated by end users who use our website. When an end user gives consent, Usercentrics automatically logs the following data:
The consent status is also stored in the end-user's browser so that the website can automatically read and follow the end-user's consent in all subsequent page requests and future end-user sessions for up to 12 months. The consent data (consent and revocation of consent) is stored for three years. The retention period corresponds to the regular limitation period in accordance with Section 195 of the German Civil Code (BGB). The data will then be deleted immediately or forwarded to the person responsible in the form of a data export on request.
The functionality of the website is not guaranteed without the described processing. The user has no right to object as long as there is a legal obligation to obtain the user's consent to certain data processing operations (Art. 7 para. 1, 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. c) GDPR).
Usercentrics is the recipient of your personal data and acts as a processor for us.
Detailed information on the use of Usercentrics can be found at: https://usercentrics.com/privacy-policy/.
9. contents of our website
9.1 Registering as a user
You have the option of registering on our website by providing personal data.
The personal data that is transmitted to us is determined by the respective input mask used for registration. The personal data you enter is collected and stored exclusively for internal use by us and for our own purposes. We may arrange for the data to be passed on to one or more processors, such as a parcel service provider, who will also use the personal data exclusively for internal purposes attributable to us.
When you register on our website, the IP address assigned by your Internet service provider (ISP), the date and time of registration are also stored. This data is stored against the background that this is the only way to prevent misuse of our services and, if necessary, to enable criminal offences to be investigated. In this respect, the storage of this data is necessary for our security. This data is not passed on to third parties. This does not apply if we are legally obliged to pass it on or if the passing on serves the purpose of criminal prosecution.
Your registration, with the voluntary provision of personal data, also enables us to offer you content or services which, due to the nature of the matter, can only be offered to registered users. Registered persons are free to change the personal data provided during registration at any time or to have it completely deleted from our database.
We will provide you with information about which personal data about you is stored at any time on request. Furthermore, we will correct or delete personal data at your request, provided that this does not conflict with any statutory retention obligations. A data protection officer named in this privacy policy and all other employees are available to the data subject as contact persons in this context.
Your data is processed in the interest of convenient and easy use of our website. This constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR.
9.2 Data processing when opening a customer account and for contract processing
In accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b) GDPR, personal data is collected and processed if you provide it to us for the fulfilment of a contract or when opening a customer account. Which data is collected can be seen from the respective input forms. It is possible to delete your customer account at any time, for example by sending a message to the above address of the controller. We store and use the data provided by you to fulfil the contract. After completion of the contract or deletion of your customer account, your data will be blocked, taking into account tax and commercial law retention periods, and deleted after these periods have expired, unless you have expressly consented to further use of your data or we have reserved the right to further use of your data as permitted by law, about which we will inform you accordingly below.
9.3 Data processing for order processing
The personal data collected by us will be passed on to the transport company commissioned with the delivery as part of the contract processing, insofar as this is necessary for the delivery of the goods. We pass on your payment data to the commissioned credit institution within the scope of payment processing, insofar as this is necessary for payment processing. If payment service providers are used, we will provide explicit information about this below. The legal basis for the transfer of data is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b) GDPR.
9.4 Contact / contact form
Personal data is collected when you contact us (e.g. via contact form or email). Which data is collected when a contact form is used can be seen from the respective contact form. This data is stored and used exclusively for the purpose of responding to your enquiry or for contacting you and the associated technical administration. The legal basis for the processing of the data is our legitimate interest in responding to your request in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. If your contact is aimed at the conclusion of a contract, the additional legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b) GDPR. Your data will be deleted after final processing of your enquiry; this is the case if it can be inferred from the circumstances that the matter in question has been conclusively clarified and the deletion does not conflict with any statutory retention obligations.
9.5 Application management / job exchange
We collect and process the personal data of applicants for the purpose of handling the application process. Processing may also be carried out electronically. This is particularly the case if an applicant submits the relevant application documents to us electronically, for example by e-mail or via a web form on the website. If we conclude an employment or service contract with an applicant, the data transmitted will be stored for the purpose of processing the employment relationship in compliance with the statutory provisions. If we do not conclude a contract with the applicant, the application documents will be automatically deleted two months after notification of the rejection decision, provided that no other legitimate interests on our part prevent deletion. Another legitimate interest in this sense is, for example, a burden of proof in proceedings under the General Equal Treatment Act (AGG).
The legal basis for the processing of your data is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b), 88 GDPR in conjunction with. § 26 para. 1 BDSG.
10. newsletter dispatch
10.1 Sending newsletters to existing customers
If you have provided us with your e-mail address when purchasing goods or services, we reserve the right to regularly send you offers for similar goods or services to those already purchased from our range by e-mail. In accordance with Section 7 (3) UWG, we do not need to obtain separate consent from you for this. In this respect, data processing is carried out solely on the basis of our legitimate interest in personalised direct advertising in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. If you have initially objected to the use of your email address for this purpose, we will not send you any emails. You are entitled to object to the use of your email address for the aforementioned advertising purpose at any time with effect for the future by sending a message to the controller named at the beginning. You will only incur transmission costs for this in accordance with the basic rates. Upon receipt of your objection, the use of your e-mail address for advertising purposes will be discontinued immediately.
10.2 Advertising newsletter
On our website, you are given the opportunity to subscribe to our company's newsletter. Which personal data is transmitted to us when you subscribe to the newsletter can be seen from the input mask used for this purpose.
We inform our customers and business partners about our offers at regular intervals by means of a newsletter. In principle, you can only receive our company's newsletter if
1. you have a valid e-mail address and
2. you have registered to receive the newsletter.
For legal reasons, a confirmation email will be sent to the email address you entered for the first time for the newsletter mailing using the double opt-in procedure. This confirmation e-mail is used to check whether you, as the owner of the e-mail address, have authorised the receipt of the newsletter.
When you register for the newsletter, we also store the IP address assigned by your Internet service provider (ISP) of the IT system you are using at the time of registration, as well as the date and time of registration. The collection of this data is necessary in order to be able to trace the (possible) misuse of your e-mail address at a later date and therefore serves our legal protection.
The personal data collected when registering for the newsletter is used exclusively to send our newsletter. Furthermore, subscribers to the newsletter may be informed by e-mail if this is necessary for the operation of the newsletter service or a registration in this regard, as could be the case in the event of changes to the newsletter offer or changes to the technical circumstances. The personal data collected as part of the newsletter service will not be passed on to third parties. You can cancel your subscription to our newsletter at any time. The consent to the storage of personal data that you have given us for the newsletter dispatch can be revoked at any time. There is a corresponding link in every newsletter for the purpose of revoking consent. It is also possible to unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time directly on our website or to inform us of this in another way.
The legal basis for data processing for the purpose of sending the newsletter is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR.
11 Our activities in social networks
So that we can also communicate with you on social networks and inform you about our services, we are represented there with our own pages. If you visit one of our social media pages, we are jointly responsible with the provider of the respective social media platform for the processing operations triggered by this, within the meaning of Art. 26 GDPR.
We are not the original provider of these pages, but only use them within the scope of the possibilities offered to us by the respective providers.
As a precautionary measure, we would therefore like to point out that your data may also be processed outside the European Union or the European Economic Area. Use may therefore be associated with data protection risks for you, as it may be more difficult to safeguard your rights, e.g. to information, deletion, objection, etc., and processing in social networks is often carried out directly for advertising purposes or to analyse user behaviour by the providers without us being able to influence this. If user profiles are created by the provider, cookies are often used or the user behaviour is assigned to your own social network member profile.
The described processing operations of personal data are carried out in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest and the legitimate interest of the respective provider in order to be able to communicate with you in a timely manner or to inform you about our services. If you have to give your consent to data processing as a user with the respective providers, the legal basis refers to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR in conjunction with Art. 7 GDPR. Art. 7 GDPR.
As we do not have access to the providers' databases, we would like to point out that it is best to assert your rights (e.g. to information, correction, deletion, etc.) directly with the respective provider. Further information on the processing of your data in the social networks is provided below by the respective social network provider we use:

12. web analysis
12.1 Google Analytics Universal
On our websites, we use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited (https://www.google.de/intl/de/about/), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland ("Google"). In this context, pseudonymised user profiles are created and cookies (see "Cookies") are used. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website such as
1. the browser type/version,
2. the operating system used,
3. the referrer URL (the previously visited page),
4. the host name of the accessing computer (IP address) and
5. time of the server request,
are transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. The information is used to analyse the use of the website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide other services relating to website activity and internet usage for the purposes of market research and the needs-based design of this website. 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. Under no circumstances will your IP address be merged with other Google data. The IP addresses are anonymised so that they cannot be assigned (IP masking).
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.
These processing operations are only carried out if express consent is given in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR.
You can also prevent the collection of data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) and the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing a browser add-on (https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de).
The parent company Google LLC is certified as a US company under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework. This constitutes an adequacy decision pursuant to Art. 45 GDPR, meaning that personal data may be transferred without further guarantees or additional measures.
You can view the data protection provisions of Google Analytics at: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245?hl=de.
13. advertising
13.1 Google Ads with conversion tracking
We have integrated Google Ads on this website. The company operating the Google Ads services is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. Google Ads is an internet advertising service that allows advertisers to place adverts both in Google's search engine results and in the Google advertising network. Google Ads allows an advertiser to pre-define certain keywords that are used to display an advert in Google's search engine results only when the user uses the search engine to retrieve a keyword-relevant search result. In the Google advertising network, the adverts are distributed to relevant websites using an automatic algorithm and taking into account the previously defined keywords.
The purpose of Google Ads is to promote our website by displaying interest-relevant advertising on the websites of third-party companies and in the search engine results of the Google search engine and by displaying third-party advertising on our website.
If you reach our website via a Google advert, a so-called conversion cookie is stored on your IT system by Google. A conversion cookie loses its validity after thirty days and is not used to identify you. If the cookie has not yet expired, the conversion cookie is used to track whether certain sub-pages, such as the shopping basket from an online shop system, have been accessed on our website. The conversion cookie enables both us and Google to track whether a user who has reached our website via an AdWords ad has generated a sale, i.e. completed or cancelled a purchase.
The data and information collected through the use of the conversion cookie is used by Google to compile visit statistics for our website. These visit statistics are in turn used by us to determine the total number of users who were referred to us via Ads ads, i.e. to determine the success or failure of the respective Ads ad and to optimise our Ads ads for the future. Neither our company nor other Google Ads advertisers receive information from Google that could be used to identify you.
The conversion cookie is used to store personal information, such as the web pages you have visited. Each time you visit our website, personal data, including the IP address of the internet connection you are using, is therefore transmitted to Google in the United States of America. This personal data is stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may pass on this personal data collected via the technical process to third parties.
These processing operations will only be carried out if express consent has been given in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR.
The parent company Google LLC is certified as a US company under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework. This constitutes an adequacy decision pursuant to Art. 45 GDPR, meaning that personal data may be transferred without further guarantees or additional measures.
You can view Google AdSense's privacy policy and further information at: https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/.
14. partner and affiliate programmes
14.1 DoubleClick
This website contains components of DoubleClick by Google. DoubleClick is a trademark of Google (Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland), under which special online marketing solutions are marketed to advertising agencies and publishers.
DoubleClick by Google transmits data to the DoubleClick server with every impression as well as with clicks or other activities. Each of these data transfers triggers a cookie request to your browser. If the browser accepts this request, DoubleClick places a cookie on your IT system. The purpose of the cookie is to optimise and display advertising. Among other things, the cookie is used to place and display user-relevant adverts and to create or improve reports on advertising campaigns. The cookie is also used to avoid multiple displays of the same adverts.
DoubleClick uses a cookie ID that is required for the technical process. The cookie ID is required, for example, to display an advert in a browser. DoubleClick can also use the cookie ID to record which adverts have already been displayed in a browser in order to avoid duplication. The cookie ID also enables DoubleClick to record conversions.
A DoubleClick cookie does not contain any personal data. However, a DoubleClick cookie may contain additional campaign identifiers. A campaign identifier is used to identify the campaigns with which you have already been in contact.
Each time you access one of the individual pages of this website, which is operated by us and on which a DoubleClick component has been integrated, the Internet browser on your IT system is prompted by the respective DoubleClick component to transmit data to Google for the purpose of online advertising and billing of commissions. As part of this technical process, Google obtains knowledge of data that Google also uses to create commission statements. Among other things, Google can track that you have clicked on certain links on our website.
