General and mandatory information
Privacy
The operators of these pages take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with the statutory data protection regulations and this privacy policy.
When you use this website, various personal data is collected. Personal data is data that can be used to identify you personally. This privacy policy explains what data we collect and what we use it for. It also explains how and for what purpose this is done.
We would like to point out that data transmission on the Internet (e.g. when communicating by e-mail) may have security gaps. It is not possible to completely protect the data from access by third parties.
Note on the responsible body
The person responsible for data processing on this website is:
SMAVOO GmbH
Max-von-Laue-Str. 19
30966 Hemmingen
Germany
Phone: +49 (0)511 51 52 00
E-mail: info@smavoo.com
The controller is the natural or legal person who, alone or jointly with others, decides on the purposes and means of the processing of personal data (e.g. names, e-mail addresses, etc.).
Storage period
Unless a specific storage period has been specified in this privacy policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for data processing no longer applies. If you assert a justified request for erasure or revoke consent to data processing, your data will be deleted, unless we have other legally permissible grounds for storing your personal data (e.g. retention periods under tax or commercial law); in the latter case, the deletion takes place after these reasons have ceased to exist.
General information on the legal basis of data processing on this website
If you have consented to data processing, we process your personal data on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR or Art. 9 (2) (a) GDPR, insofar as special categories of data are processed in accordance with Art. 9 (1) GDPR. In the case of explicit consent to the transfer of personal data to third countries, data processing is also carried out on the basis of Art. 49 (1) (a) GDPR. If you have consented to the storage of cookies or access to information in your device (e.g. via device fingerprinting), data processing will also be carried out on the basis of Section 25 (1) TDDDG. The consent can be revoked at any time. The former Telecommunications Telemedia Data Protection Act (TTDSG) was renamed the Telecommunications Digital Services Data Protection Act (TDDDG) on May 14, 2024; Section 25 continues to apply. If your data is required for the performance of a contract or for the implementation of pre-contractual measures, we process your data on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR. Furthermore, we process your data if it is necessary to comply with a legal obligation on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (c) GDPR. Data processing may also be carried out on the basis of our legitimate interest in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. Information on the relevant legal bases in each individual case is provided in the following paragraphs of this privacy policy.
Note on data transfer to the USA and other third countries
Among other things, we use tools from companies based in the USA or other third countries that are not secure under data protection law. When these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to and processed in these third countries. We would like to point out that in these countries no level of data protection comparable to that of the EU can be guaranteed. For example, US companies are obliged to hand over personal data to security authorities without you, as the data subject, being able to take legal action against it. It cannot therefore be ruled out that US authorities (e.g. intelligence services) process, evaluate and permanently store your data on US servers for surveillance purposes. We have no control over these processing activities.
For providers certified under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework, in particular Google, Microsoft, LinkedIn and Cloudflare, the adequacy decision of the European Commission of July 10, 2023 applies. Where required or additionally agreed, standard contractual clauses of the EU Commission are also used as a safeguard for third-country transfers.
Withdrawal of your consent to data processing
Many data processing operations are only possible with your explicit consent. You can revoke any consent you have already given at any time. The lawfulness of the data processing carried out up to the time of revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.
Right to object to data collection in special cases as well as to direct marketing (Art. 21 GDPR)
If the data processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (e) or (f) GDPR, you have the right to object to the processing of your personal data at any time on grounds relating to your particular situation; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions. The respective legal basis on which processing is based can be found in this privacy policy. If you object, we will no longer process your personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that outweigh your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves to assert, exercise or defend legal claims (objection pursuant to Art. 21 (1) GDPR).
If your personal data is processed for the purpose of direct marketing, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you for the purpose of such marketing; this also applies to profiling, insofar as it is related to such direct advertising. If you object, your personal data will then no longer be used for the purpose of direct marketing (objection pursuant to Art. 21 (2) GDPR).
Right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority
In the event of violations of the GDPR, the data subjects have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of their habitual residence, their place of work or the place of the alleged infringement. The right of appeal exists without prejudice to other administrative or judicial remedies.
Right to data portability
You have the right to have data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfillment of a contract handed over to you or to a third party in a common, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only be done to the extent that it is technically feasible.
Information, Correction and Deletion
Within the framework of the applicable legal provisions, you have the right to free information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients and the purpose of the data processing at any time and, if necessary, a right to rectification or deletion of this data. You can contact us at any time for this and other questions on the subject of personal data.
Information, correction and deletion
Within the framework of the applicable legal provisions, you have the right to free information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients and the purpose of the data processing at any time and, if necessary, a right to rectification or deletion of this data. You can contact us at any time for this and other questions on the subject of personal data.
Right to restriction of processing
You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. You can contact us at any time for this. The right to restriction of processing exists in the following cases:
- If you contest the accuracy of your personal data held by us, we will usually need time to verify this. For the duration of the audit, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
- If the processing of your personal data was/is unlawful, you can request the restriction of data processing instead of deletion.
- If we no longer need your personal data, but you need it to exercise, defend or assert legal claims, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of erasure.
- If you have filed an objection in accordance with Art. 21 (1) GDPR, a balancing of your interests and ours must be carried out. As long as it has not yet been determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, this data may only be processed with your consent or for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims, or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person, or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or of a Member State.
SSL or TLS encryption
This site uses SSL or TLS encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or inquiries that you send to us as the site operator. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the address bar of the browser changes from "http://" to "https://" and by the lock symbol in your browser line.
If SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.
Data collection on this website
Cookies
Our websites use so-called "cookies". Cookies are small data packets and do not cause any damage to your device. They are stored on your device either temporarily for the duration of a session (session cookies) or permanently (persistent cookies). Session cookies are automatically deleted at the end of your visit. Permanent cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them yourself or until your web browser automatically deletes them.
Cookies can come from us (first-party cookies) or from third-party companies (so-called third-party cookies). Third-party cookies enable the integration of certain third-party services within websites (e.g. cookies for processing payment services).
Cookies have different functions. Many cookies are technically necessary because certain website functions would not work without them (e.g. the shopping cart function or the display of videos). Other cookies may be used to evaluate user behavior or for advertising purposes.
Cookies that are necessary to carry out the electronic communication process, to provide certain functions that you have requested (e.g. for the shopping cart function) or to optimize the website (e.g. cookies to measure the web audience) (necessary cookies) are stored on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR, unless another legal basis is specified. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the storage of necessary cookies for the technically error-free and optimized provision of its services. If consent to the storage of cookies and comparable recognition technologies has been requested, the processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of this consent (Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR and Section 25 (1) TDDDG); consent can be revoked at any time.
You can set your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies and only allow cookies in individual cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general, and activate the automatic deletion of cookies when you close the browser. If you disable cookies, the functionality of this website may be limited.
You can find out which cookies and services are used on this website in this privacy policy.
Consent to Cookies and Google Consent Mode v2
On our landing pages, we use a custom consent banner and Google Consent Mode v2. Services that require consent, in particular Google Analytics, Google Ads and Microsoft Clarity, are set to "denied" by default and are loaded only after your active opt-in.
Your selection is stored locally and can be revoked or changed at any time with effect for the future.
Consent with Usercentrics
This website uses Usercentrics' consent technology to obtain your consent to the storage of certain cookies on your device or to the use of certain technologies and to document them in compliance with data protection regulations. The provider of this technology is Usercentrics GmbH, Sendlinger Straße 7, 80331 Munich, Germany, Website: https://usercentrics.com/de/ (hereinafter referred to as "Usercentrics").
When you enter our website, the following personal data will be transferred to Usercentrics:
- Your consent(s) or the withdrawal of your consent(s)
- Your IP address
- Information about your browser

Mandatory statutory retention obligations remain unaffected.
The Usercentrics banner on this website was configured with the help of eRecht24. You can tell by the fact that the eRecht24 logo appears in the banner. In order to display the eRecht24 logo in the banner, a connection to the image server of eRecht24 is established. The IP address is also transmitted, but this is only stored in anonymized form in the server logs. The image server of eRecht24 is located in Germany with a German provider. The banner itself is provided exclusively by Usercentrics.
Usercentrics is used to obtain the legally required consents for the use of certain technologies. The legal basis for this is Art. 6 (1) (c) GDPR.
Order Processing
We have concluded a contract processing agreement (DPA) for the use of the above-mentioned service. This is a contract required by data protection law that ensures that it processes the personal data of our website visitors only in accordance with our instructions and in compliance with the GDPR.
Server Log Files
The provider of the pages automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. These are:
- Browser type and version
- Operating system used
- Referrer URL
- Hostname of the accessing computer
- Time of the server request
- IP address
This data will not be merged with other data sources.
This data is collected on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the technically error-free presentation and optimization of its website; for this purpose, the server log files must be recorded.
Consent Management with Finsweet Consent Pro
This website uses Finsweet Consent Pro to obtain and manage your consent to the storage of certain cookies on your device or to the use of certain technologies. The consent banner allows you to accept, reject or individually configure categories of cookies and similar technologies.
When you make a selection in the consent banner, your consent status and preferences are stored so that we can respect your choice on future visits. Depending on the technical implementation, information such as your consent settings, browser information, device information, time of consent and technically necessary identifiers may be processed.
Services that require consent, in particular analytics and marketing services such as Google Analytics, Microsoft Clarity, Google Ads and Leadfeeder/Dealfront, are loaded only after you have given the corresponding consent. You may change or withdraw your consent at any time with effect for the future via the cookie settings on the website.
The use of the consent management solution is necessary to obtain and document legally required consents. The legal basis is Art. 6 (1) (c) GDPR. Where the storage of information on your device or access to information on your device is required for consent management, this is carried out on the basis of Section 25 (2) TDDDG.
Contact
If you send us enquiries via the contact form, your details from the enquiry form, including the contact details you provide there, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the enquiry and in the event of follow-up questions. We do not pass on this data without your consent.

Our website uses forms that may be connected to HubSpot through the HubSpot on Webflow integration. Provider of HubSpot is HubSpot Ireland Limited, 1 Sir John Rogerson's Quay, Dublin 2, Ireland. The HubSpot on Webflow integration is provided via hubspotonwebflow.com.
If you submit a contact form, newsletter form or similar form on our website, the data entered in the form, such as name, email address, phone number, subject, message and consent information, may be transmitted to HubSpot or processed via the HubSpot on Webflow integration. We use this data to process your request, manage customer and prospect communications, and, where applicable, maintain our internal customer relationship management processes.
The processing of this data is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR if your request is related to the performance of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, processing is based on our legitimate interest in efficiently processing enquiries and managing customer relationships (Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR), if this has been requested.

Analytics Tools and Advertising
Web Analytics, Monitoring and Optimisation
To understand how our pages are used, we employ two clearly separated methods:
- a fully anonymous, consent-free measurement of reach and usage (see below), which operates without cookies and without accessing your device, and does not process any personal data; and
- consent-based analytics services (e.g. Microsoft Clarity, Google Analytics), which are loaded only if you have previously given your consent via our cookie banner.
You may withdraw your consent at any time with effect for the future.
Anonymous Reach and Usage Measurement
To improve the clarity and effectiveness of our pages, we collect anonymous, aggregated usage statistics (e.g. how far visitors scroll, or at which points a form is abandoned). This measurement takes place without cookies, without accessing your device, and without recognising you. No IP addresses are stored and no individual profiles are created; we evaluate only aggregated overall figures that do not allow any conclusions to be drawn about individual persons. As no personal data is processed, no consent is required. Should a reference to an identifiable person nevertheless exist in an individual case, we base the processing on our legitimate interest in improving our services in a data-minimising manner (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).
Google Tag Manager
We use Google Tag Manager. The provider is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.
Google Tag Manager is a tool that allows us to integrate tracking or statistics tools and other technologies on our website. The Google Tag Manager itself does not create user profiles, does not store cookies and does not carry out any independent analyses. It is only used to manage and display the tools integrated via it. However, Google Tag Manager does collect your IP address, which may also be transmitted to Google's parent company in the United States.
The use of Google Tag Manager is based on Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the quick and uncomplicated integration and management of various tools on its website. If a corresponding consent has been requested, the processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR and Section 25 (1) TDDDG, insofar as the consent includes the storage of cookies or access to information in the user's end device (e.g. device fingerprinting) within the meaning of the TDDDG. The consent can be revoked at any time.
Google Analytics
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 analyse the behaviour of website visitors. In doing so, the website operator receives various usage data, such as page views, dwell time, operating systems used and origin of the user. This data is assigned to the respective end device of the user. There is no assignment to a user ID.
Furthermore, we can use Google Analytics to, among other things, record your mouse and scroll movements and clicks. In addition, Google Analytics uses various modeling approaches to complement the collected data sets and uses machine learning technologies in data analysis.
Google Analytics uses technologies that enable the recognition of the user for the purpose of analysing user behaviour (e.g. cookies or device fingerprinting). The information collected by Google about the use of this website is usually 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 (1) (a) GDPR and Section 25 (1) TDDDG. The consent can be revoked at any time.
The data transfer to the USA is based on the standard contractual clauses of the EU Commission. Details can be found here: https://privacy.google.com/businesses/controllerterms/mccs/. Google is also certified under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework.

Microsoft Clarity may in particular record mouse movements, clicks, scrolling behavior, keystrokes, and device and browser information. This information can be used to create session replays and heatmaps. Inputs in form fields are masked by default. Microsoft may also use the data it processes for its own purposes.
Microsoft Clarity is loaded on our landing pages only if you have previously consented to the "Analytics" category. The legal basis is your consent pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR and Section 25 (1) TDDDG. Consent can be revoked at any time.
A transfer of personal data to the USA cannot be excluded. Microsoft is certified under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework. Microsoft also uses standard contractual clauses of the EU Commission as a supplementary safeguard.

Leadfeeder
Our website uses the technologies of Leadfeeder (Leadfeeder Finland Oy as part of Leadfeeder Group GmbH) to analyze visitor behavior. In this process, the IP address of a visitor is processed. This processing has the purpose of helping us understand which businesses (B2B) are visiting our site, by enriching IPs with associated information such as the company name or industry code.
To do this, at the beginning of the visitor’s session, their IP address and corresponding session data is matched against a large whitelist of known companies. Leadfeeder is only loaded on this website if you have previously consented to the "Marketing" category.
As part of this processing, first party cookies are used in order to analyze visitor behavior.
Whenever we process website traffic data, this processing is based on our legitimate interest (Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR) in optimizing our products, services, sales and marketing. To prevent this processing activity, you (website visitor) may install and configure appropriate ad-blockers or use no-script-plugins in your browser. The data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer required for its intended purposes. Statutory retention obligations can lead to a longer retention period of the data in question. We have concluded a data processing agreement with Leadfeeder in order to ensure compliance with applicable data protection standards.
Data processing is carried out by a provider based in the European Union.
Further information can be found in Dealfront's privacy policy at https://www.leadfeeder.com/privacy/privacy-notice/

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). In addition, targeted advertisements can be displayed based on the user data available at Google (e.g. location data and interests) (target group targeting). As a website operator, we can evaluate this data quantitatively, for example by analysing which search terms led to the display of our advertisements and how many ads led to corresponding clicks.
The use of this service is based on your consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR and Section 25 (1) TDDDG. The consent can be revoked at any time.
The data transfer to the USA is based on the standard contractual clauses of the EU Commission.

Furthermore, the advertising audiences created with Google Ads Remarketing can be linked to Google's cross-device functions. In this way, interest-based, personalised advertising messages that have been adapted to you depending on your previous usage and surfing behaviour on one device (e.g. mobile phone) can also be displayed on another of your devices (e.g. tablet or PC).
If you have a Google account, you can object to personalized advertising at the following link: https://www.google.com/settings/ads/onweb/.
The use of this service is based on your consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR and Section 25 (1) TDDDG. The consent can be revoked at any time.
