Uniper attaches importance to the protection of personal data
Uniper attaches great importance to the protection of personal data and is committed to protecting the data of people who visit our websites. Uniper SE, Holzstraße 6, 40221 Düsseldorf, processes personal data collected during visits to our websites in accordance with the laws on data protection and data security of the Federal Republic of Germany and is the data controller in this respect. This privacy policy provides you with information on how Uniper handles information that is collected during your visit to the Uniper website.
This Privacy Policy applies to all websites that link to this Privacy Policy, including https://decarbsolutions.uniper.energy (collectively referred to as "Uniper websites" or "our websites").
Personal data is any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person, such as your name, e-mail address or postal address. Unless you have agreed otherwise with Uniper, Uniper only collects personal data that is necessary for our business relationship, such as your name, job title, address, telephone number, e-mail address and other contact details. In this case, data is only collected if you provide it to Uniper, e.g. if you order information material using a contact form or request it by e-mail, subscribe to an e-mail information service, apply online via our applicant portal or take part in a survey or competition. Uniper only collects this data directly from you and not from other third parties. The legal basis for the processing in this respect results from Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b) GDPR.
Uniper uses your personal data to respond to your inquiry, to process your order or to provide you with access to specific information or offers that you have requested from us. For example, if you fill out an online contact form, Uniper will use this data to contact you regarding your interest in the services. The legal basis for the processing in this respect results from Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b) GDPR.
Uniper may also use personal data of its customers and data of participants for marketing purposes, provided that they have expressly consented in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a) GDPR. In this case, Uniper will use the data provided by you to contact you to discuss your interest in the services and to send you information about the company, its subsidiaries and affiliates, such as promotions or events. For this purpose, it may also be necessary for Uniper to pass on your data to group companies or external service providers as part of commissioned data processing. For example, it may be necessary for Uniper to pass on customer data for the purpose of customer relationship management.
If you have consented to the processing of your personal data, you can withdraw this consent at any time with effect for the future. The withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.
Uniper will not sell or otherwise market your personal data to third parties or pass it on for their advertising purposes. Insofar as you have expressly consented to this in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a) GDPR, Uniper will pass on your data to its subsidiaries and partner companies so that they can contact you directly.
Uniper will only store your personal data for as long as is necessary to provide the services or information you have requested and for the duration of our business relationship. In addition, we store your data only to the extent necessary to fulfill statutory retention obligations or for the duration of legal disputes to protect our legitimate interests. We will delete your data immediately if it is no longer required for the aforementioned purposes.
When you access the Uniper website, general information is collected automatically (i.e. not via registration). The following data is stored automatically:
This website uses functions of the web analysis service Google Analytics. The provider is Google Ireland Limited ("Google"), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.
Google Analytics enables the website operator to analyze the behavior of website visitors. The website operator receives various usage data, such as page views, length of visit, operating systems used and origin of the user. This data is summarized in a user ID and assigned to the respective end device of the website visitor.
We can also use Google Analytics to record your mouse and scroll movements and clicks, among other things. Google Analytics also uses various modeling approaches to supplement the collected data records and uses machine learning technologies for data analysis.
Google Analytics uses technologies that enable the recognition of the user for the purpose of analyzing user behavior (e.g. cookies or device fingerprinting). The information collected by Google about the use of this website is generally transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there.
The use of this service is based on your consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR and § 25 para. 1 TDDDG. Consent can be revoked at any time.
Data transfer to the USA is based on the standard contractual clauses of the EU Commission. You can find details here: https://privacy.google.com/businesses/controllerterms/mccs/.

IP anonymization
Google Analytics IP anonymization is activated. As a result, your IP address will be shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area before being transmitted to the USA. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and truncated there. Google will use this information on behalf of the operator of this website for the purpose of evaluating your use of the website, compiling reports on website activity and providing other services relating to website activity and internet usage to the website operator.

Google Ads
The website operator uses Google Ads. Google Ads is an online advertising program of Google Ireland Limited ("Google"), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.
Google Ads enables us to display advertisements in the Google search engine or on third-party websites when the user enters certain search terms on Google (keyword targeting). Furthermore, targeted advertisements can be displayed based on the user data available at Google (e.g. location data and interests) (target group targeting). As the website operator, we can evaluate this data quantitatively by analyzing, for example, which search terms led to the display of our advertisements and how many advertisements led to corresponding clicks.
The use of this service is based on your consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR and § 25 para. 1 TDDDG. Consent can be revoked at any time.

LinkedIn Insight Tag
This website uses the Insight tag from LinkedIn. The provider of this service is LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company, Wilton Plaza, Wilton Place, Dublin 2, Ireland.
Data processing by LinkedIn Insight Tag
With the help of the LinkedIn Insight Tag, we receive information about visitors to our website. If a website visitor is registered with LinkedIn, we can, among other things, analyze the key professional data (e.g. career level, company size, country, location, industry and job title) of our website visitors and thus better tailor our site to the respective target groups. We can also use LinkedIn Insight Tags to measure whether visitors to our websites make a purchase or take another action (conversion measurement). Conversion measurement can also be carried out across devices (e.g. from PC to tablet). LinkedIn Insight Tag also offers a retargeting function that we can use to display targeted advertising to visitors to our website outside the website, whereby, according to LinkedIn, no identification of the advertising addressee takes place.
LinkedIn itself also collects log files (URL, referrer URL, IP address, device and browser properties and time of access). The IP addresses are shortened or (if they are used to reach LinkedIn members across devices) hashed (pseudonymized). The direct identifiers of LinkedIn members are deleted by LinkedIn after seven days. The remaining pseudonymized data is then deleted within 180 days.
The data collected by LinkedIn cannot be assigned to specific individuals by us as the website operator. LinkedIn will store the personal data collected from website visitors on its servers in the USA and use it for its own advertising purposes. Details can be found in LinkedIn's privacy policy at https://www.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy#choices-oblig.

If consent has not been obtained, this service is used on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR; the website operator has a legitimate interest in effective advertising measures including social media.
