Privacy Policy

www.np4.net is a webpage of NP4 GmbH. Further information regarding our contact data can be found under Contact Us.

NP4 GmbH feels obliged to maintain data security and respects your privacy. The present Privacy Policy informs you about our data security regulations and conformation measures in order to allow for a user-controlled data processing following the Federal Constitutional Court Act (Bundesverfassungsgericht) that protects informational self-determination of one’s fundamental rights. Accordingly, we would like to give you the opportunity to determine how and in what form your data is electronically stored and for which intention it is processed. You can access and use our webpages such that no identity or personal data are demanded. This declaration can be accessed/ called up from the NP4 homepage or from the footer of all other NP4.net pages.

1.

Data will be stored in a log file for each access of users of the page NP4 GmbH and for each data file use. Log-files are only stored for internal system- and statistics-related purposes. The following data is stored for each download:

  • Name of the downloaded file
  • Download date and time
  • Transmitted data-file size
  • Notification of successful download
  • Description of used web-browser type

2.

NP4 GmbH will only analyse user information, in anonymous form, that is provided for registration after confirmation from the user for statistical intentions. There is no sale of addresses to third parties.

3.

NP4 GmbH employees are obliged to remain discreet with personal data. Forwarding this data to third parties only occurs if necessary for execution of a contract. NP4 obliges third parties to adhere to an agreement protecting the users’ data.

4.

All existing data at www.np4.net that can be found and stored on the server is protected from illegal access by consecutively connected security systems. NP4 GmbH employees and the system service provider regularly check the efficacy of the protection.

5.

If you leave our page, for instance by clicking on our banner advertisements, and thereby enter foreign pages, your address data of the clicked on target pages (so called “Cookies”) could possibly be set. NP4 GmbH is not legally responsible for foreign Cookie access through its pages. For usage of such Cookies by our advertising partners and stored information, please refer to the data protection policy and the following further explanation of cookies in point 7.

6. Automatically Captured Non-personal Data

When you access our website, automatically (i.e. not through registration) created information will occasionally be stored that is not related to a specific person/ user (e.g. via an internet browser or operating system; domain names of websites, from which, via a web-link, the access occurs; amount of visits; average duration of visit; clicked pages). We use this information to continuously improve and update our website presence as well as to increase the attractiveness. The data cannot be assigned to a specific person, but only used for statistical purposes.

7. Cookie Creation

If you visit our website, it could be that information in cookie form is stored on your computer. This stored information will automatically recognize the next time you visit our page. Cookies enable us, among other things, to adapt a website to your wishes or to save your passwords so that you do not have to retype them. The following explains the functionality of Cookies in detail:

  • Surfing the internet and thereby accessing single pages leaves data tracks on the internet as well as on the user’s PC(s).
  • The remaining data tracks on a PC could be problematic if they are stored in a directory that various users can access.
  • If information from the internet is accessed, it could be that the information provider saves a small file, the so-called “Cookie” on the user’s PC. If the user later accesses the webpage again, the Cookie on the local PC is forwarded to the information provider. Using this information, a connection is established between the past and current access.
  • Often, saving or storage of Cookies happens unnoticed. In giving you information about Cookies, we make the use of Cookies known.
  • In contrast to viruses, Cookies are not executable programs, and thus cannot harm the user’s PC directly. But, the use of Cookies is not entirely harmless. Using Cookies, interest profiles can be created and used for marketing. We would like to decidedly dissociate ourselves from using Cookies in this manner. If you decide to accept the Cookies in our pages, we will use the included information only for the ongoing optimization of website usability. Forwarding this data to third parties is done under no circumstances.

If you do not wish that we read information about your computer, you may set your internet browser to delete Cookies from your hard-drive, block all Cookies, or warn you before a Cookie is saved or stored. You may then purposefully decide when you wish to accept Cookies.

8. Forwarding Data to Third Parties

NP4 will not sell, loan, or otherwise surrender your personal data to third parties. NP4 does not forward your data to third parties except when you are interested in products or services of third parties. We need your explicit consent to forward your data to a third party.

9. Personal Data Security

Because NP4 feels obliged to secure your personal data to avoid illegal data access or disclosure, we have technical and organizational procedures in place to protect and safely collect data; NP4 guarantees the accuracy and legal use of your data.

Data acquisition or forwarding of confidential data (e.g. credit card numbers) is done through SSL encryption (SSL = Secure Sockets Layer). This guarantees that only NP4 can read the data. This security standard is active when an unbroken key or a closed/ locked padlock appears in the bottom of your browser window (browser dependant).

Credit card numbers are strictly used to handle payments. NP4 performs real time payment processing in close cooperation with security authorities. This helps you and NP4 to maintain data security, avoid credit card fraud and protect your financial data from misuse.

10. Declaration Changes

We will make changes and update this document with a new change date if or when updates of this privacy policy become necessary. Thus, you can know at all times which data we collect online, how we use the data and which safety options we provide for you.
