Privacy policy

PIKOBYTES takes the protection of personal data very seriously. We want you to know when we store which data and how we use it.

PIKOBYTES is a company under private law and is subject to the provisions of the German Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG), the German Telemedia Act (TMG) and the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). We have taken the necessary technical and organizational measures to ensure that the data protection regulations are observed by us and our external service providers.

Data protection

Personal data can be used to find out your identity. This includes, for example, your real name, your postal address and your IP address.

In principle, you can use our online services without disclosing your identity. In connection with your access to our pages, data is stored on our servers for security purposes, which may allow identification (e.g. IP address, date, time and pages viewed). No personal utilization takes place. We collect this data to ensure error-free provision of the website. Some of the data is also used in anonymized form to analyse user behaviour.

If you have provided us with personal data, you can delete it at any time, unless we are required by law to store this data for a certain period of time, for example for tax or accounting purposes. In this case, we will delete the data immediately after the retention period has expired. Furthermore, you can of course have incorrectly recorded data corrected at any time.

You can assert your right of revocation and correction at the following address:

Services from third-party providers

When you visit our website, you use third-party services. If you do not agree to this, you can prevent this by configuring your Internet browser accordingly. In some cases, it is also possible to opt out of certain services.

We use the open-source web analytics software Matomo to analyse the use of our website and to improve its design and usability.

Matomo analytics tracking only takes place after you have given your consent through the cookie consent notice. If you choose to allow only necessary cookies, analytics tracking remains disabled.

We have enabled IP masking in Matomo. Two bytes of visitors' IP addresses are masked before the IP address is stored by Matomo. For visit enrichment, such as geolocation or provider information, Matomo may use the full IP address before the masked IP address is stored.

The processing is based on your consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR. Where information is stored on or accessed from your device, this is based on your consent pursuant to Section 25(1) TDDDG.

You can withdraw your consent to Matomo Analytics at any time by clicking on the following link:

Deactivate Matomo Analytics

After you withdraw your consent, Matomo tracking is disabled and the relevant Matomo analytics cookies are removed from your browser.
