Data collection
We may collect limited identifying information your browser makes available whenever you visit a website. This log information includes your Internet Protocol address, browser type, browser language, the date and time of your query and one or more cookies. We use this information to better understand user’s behavior, to further improve our offerings, for security analysis reports and to defend against cyber-attacks.
In addition, we collect personal data (e.g., names, addresses, telephone numbers, or e-mail addresses) in connection with the operation of our websites only when you have voluntarily provided such data to us (e.g., through registration, contact inquiries, surveys, etc.) and when we are entitled to process or use such data by virtue of permission granted by you or on the basis of a statutory provision. As a general rule, we use such data only for the purpose for which you divulged the data to us, such as to answer your inquiries, process your orders, or grant you access to certain information or offerings. Your data will be processed for advertising purposes via e-mail or similar channels if you have given your consent.
In order to better assist customer relationships, it may be necessary that we save and process your personal information and share it with our worldwide Robatech network to better understand your business needs or to improve our products and services; or that we use this personal information to contact you regarding future offers, so as to support your business needs, or to conduct online surveys to better understand your requirements.
Some of our services require you to register for an account. We ask you for some personal information in order to create an account and we will use that information to provide the service. When we require personally identifying information, we will inform you about the types of information we collect and how we use it.
Information sharing
We do not share, rent or sell your personally identifying information to other companies or individuals but we may share it within the Robatech group. We may only share such information in any of the following limited circumstances:
- We have your expressed consent.
- We provide such information to trusted businesses or persons for the sole purpose of processing your request on our behalf. When this is done, it is subject to agreements that oblige those parties to process such information only on our instructions and in compliance with this Privacy Policy and appropriate confidentiality and security measures.
- We conclude that we are required by law or have a good faith belief that access, preservation or disclosure of such information is reasonably necessary to protect the rights, property or safety of Robatech, its users or the public.
If you have submitted information to any of our services or to our global network (subsidiaries, affiliated companies, distributors and channel partners), we may share the information submitted among all of our services as well as our global network to the extent necessary to provide you with our services and to improve them. We will not disclose your information to other people or non-affiliated companies, except in the limited circumstances described in this Policy or with your consent.
We may store and process personal information collected on our site in any country in which Robatech or our hosting providers maintain facilities. Please find here a list of Robatech entities worldwide. By using our services, you consent to the transfer of your information among these facilities, including those located outside your country which may deemed to have no adequate data protection legislation in the view of the EU and/or Switzerland. In cases this takes place, Robatech however has implemented adequate guarantees to ensure adequate protection of the personal data.
Storage limitation
If not indicated otherwise, personal data (customer data excepted) is stored until the purpose is reached. Robatech may have a story obligation to retain data for financial, tax and other legal reasons. Such period is depending on the particular data and countries involved and - as a rule - does not exceed eleven years. Data used in the context of web-analytics typically are deleted or made full anonymous within very few days.
Information security
We take appropriate security measures to protect against unauthorized access to or unauthorized alteration, disclosure or destruction of data. We restrict access to your personally identifying information to our employees who need to know that information in order to fulfill your request or supply our services.

Cookies
When you view one of our websites, we may store some information on your computer in the form of a "cookie" to automatically recognize you the next time you visit. Cookies can help us, for example, by allowing to tailor a website to better match your interests or to save some of your information so that you do not have to re-enter it each time.

Web-analytics services we use
Our website uses Google Analytics, Google AdWords and Google Fonts, services provided by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA ("Google"). Google web analysis services use cookies, i.e. text files which are saved on your computer and which allow Google to analyze the use of our offer. Any information on the use of our websites (including your IP address) captured by a cookie is normally transmitted to a Google server in the United States where it is stored. Please note that on our websites, we have added the code "gat._anonymizeIp();" to Google Analytics in order to ensure the anonymized collection of IP addresses (so-called IP masking). Therefore, upon our instructions, Google captures only a short version of your IP address to ensure anonymization and to prevent the disclosure of your identity. If IP anonymization is enabled on our websites, Google will shorten your IP address within the member states of the European Union or in other member states which are parties to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases, the full IP address is sent to a Google server in the United States and shortened there. Google also complies with the data protection regulations of the "US Safe Harbor" privacy principles and is registered in the "Safe Harbor" program of the US Department of Commerce. Google will use the information provided in order to analyze how you use our websites, to compile reports on the website activities for us and to render services which are associated with the use of the websites and the internet. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google services won't be linked with other Google data. Google will only transfer these data to third parties on account of legal provisions or within the scope of order data processing. On no account will Google combine your data with other data collected by Google. Through the use of this website, you express your consent to the processing of data collected by Google about you in the manner described above and for the purposes previously mentioned. You may prevent the installation of cookies by making appropriate settings in your browser software; however, should you do so, you will not be able to use all of the functions of this website. Furthermore, you can prevent the collection of the data generated by the cookie and related to your use of these websites (including your IP address) as well as the processing of these data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plug-in provided at the following link http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
Social Media we use
YouTube
Our website uses plugins from Google's YouTube, operated by YouTube LLC, 901 Cherry Ave, San Bruno, CA 94066, USA. If you visit one of our pages equipped with a YouTube plugin, a connection to the YouTube servers is established. The Youtube server will be informed which of our pages you have visited.
If you are logged into your YouTube account, you allow YouTube to associate your surfing behavior directly with your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account.
