We are very delighted that you have shown interest in our enterprise. Data protection is of a particularly high priority for Golease UK Limited.

5. Collection of general data and information

The website of Golease UK Limited collects a series of general data and information when a data subject or automated system calls up the website. This general data and information are stored in the server log files. Collected may be (1) the browser types and versions used, (2) the operating system used by the accessing system, (3) the website from which an accessing system reaches our website (so-called referrers), (4) the sub-websites, (5) the date and time of access to the Internet site, (6) an Internet protocol address (IP address), (7) the Internet service provider of the accessing system, and (8) any other similar data and information that may be used in the event of attacks on our information technology systems.

When using these general data and information, Golease UK Limited does not draw any conclusions about the data subject. Rather, this information is needed to (1) deliver the content of our website correctly, (2) optimize the content of our website as well as its advertisement, (3) ensure the long-term viability of our information technology systems and website technology, and (4) provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for criminal prosecution in case of a cyber-attack. Therefore, Golease UK Limited analyses anonymously collected data and information statistically, with the aim of increasing the data protection and data security of our enterprise, and to ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data we process. The anonymous data of the server log files are stored separately from all personal data provided by a data subject.

6. Registration on our website

The data subject has the possibility to register on the website of the controller with the indication of personal data. Which personal data are transmitted to the controller is determined by the respective input mask used for the registration. The personal data entered by the data subject are collected and stored exclusively for internal use by the controller, and for his own purposes. The controller may request transfer to one or more processors (e.g. a parcel service) that also uses personal data for an internal purpose which is attributable to the controller.

By registering on the website of the controller, the IP address—assigned by the Internet service provider (ISP) and used by the data subject—date, and time of the registration are also stored. The storage of this data takes place against the background that this is the only way to prevent the misuse of our services, and, if necessary, to make it possible to investigate committed offenses. Insofar, the storage of this data is necessary to secure the controller. This data is not passed on to third parties unless there is a statutory obligation to pass on the data, or if the transfer serves the aim of criminal prosecution.

The registration of the data subject, with the voluntary indication of personal data, is intended to enable the controller to offer the data subject contents or services that may only be offered to registered users due to the nature of the matter in question. Registered persons are free to change the personal data specified during the registration at any time, or to have them completely deleted from the data stock of the controller.

The data controller shall, at any time, provide information upon request to each data subject as to what personal data are stored about the data subject. In addition, the data controller shall correct or erase personal data at the request or indication of the data subject, insofar as there are no statutory storage obligations. A Data Protection Officer particularly designated in this data protection declaration, as well as the entirety of the controller’s employees are available to the data subject in this respect as contact persons.

If you do not intend to proceed with an order of a car then all personal data from the submission of an enquiry form by a data subject will be retained for a reasonable time, after which we will delete the data subject’s details. Within this timeframe we will contact the data subject for all reasons relating to the enquiry of a car, including a short survey detailing reasons for not proceeding with an order.As we are a broker and not a lender we will ask for your express consent to submit your data to a third party being the lender.

Through the use of cookies, Golease UK Limited can provide the users of this website with more user-friendly services that would not be possible without the cookie setting.

By means of a cookie, the information and offers on our website can be optimized with the user in mind. Cookies allow us to recognize our website users. The purpose of this recognition is to make it easier for users to utilize our website. The website user that uses cookies, does not have to enter access data each time the website is accessed, because this is taken over by the website, and the cookie is thus stored on the user's computer system. Another example is the cookie of a shopping cart in an online shop. The online store remembers the articles that a customer has placed in the virtual shopping cart via a cookie.

Cookies we use are detailed below:

1. Cookies from Google Analytics:

   We use Google Analytics log cookies (such as _utma, _utmv, _utmc, _utmz, and _utmb) to identify user’s activities such as which pages are being visited and how long for. This helps us analyse data about webpage traffic and user’s behaviours to improve our website in order to tailor it to customer needs. We only use this information for statistical analysis purposes and then the data is removed from the system. You can find more details about Google analytics cookies here.

   Overall, cookies help provide you with a better website, by enabling us to monitor which pages you find useful and which you do not. A cookie in no way gives us access to your computer or any information about you, other than the data you choose to share with us.

   Google Analytics places a cookie on the information technology system of the website visitor. With the setting of the cookie, Google is enabled to analyse the use of our website. With each call-up to one of the individual pages of this website, which is operated by the controller and into which a Google Analytics component was integrated, the Internet browser on the device used by the website visitor will automatically submit data through the Google Analytics component for the purpose of online advertising and the settlement of commissions to Google. During the course of this technical procedure, Google gains knowledge of personal information, such as the IP address of the website visitor, the access time, the location from which the access was made, and the frequency of visits of our website by the website visitor, which serves Google, inter alia, to understand the origin of visitors and clicks, and subsequently create commission settlements.

   These personal data are stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may pass these personal data collected through the technical procedure to third parties.

2. Targeting or banner advertising cookies including remarketing with Google Double click and YouTube channel:

   This type of advertising is designed to provide you with a selection of products based on what you have viewed on our website and deliver adverts to you when you visit other selected websites. The adverts may highlight alternative vehicle options from other categories suitable to your browsing history.

   The technology behind these adverts uses cookies that are usually placed by third parties such as advertising networks with the website operator’s permission. They remember that you have visited a website and the information is shared with other organisations such as advertisers.
   Please be assured that the data contained in the cookie used in these adverts is completely anonymous and does not contain any of your personal details.

This includes the use of various remarketing services through social media platforms including, but not limited to, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Instagram and Google remarketing services to advertise our content, products and services on these social media channels to previous visitors to our site. Any data collected will be used in accordance with our own privacy policy and the social network's privacy policy.

4. Google Adwords

   If a website visitor reaches our website via a Google ad, a conversion cookie is filed on the device of the website visitor through Google. A conversion cookie loses its validity after 30 days and is not used to identify the website visitor. If the cookie has not expired, the conversion cookie is used to check whether certain sub-pages, e.g. the shopping cart from an online shop system, were called up on our website. Through the conversion cookie, both Google and the controller can understand whether a person who reached an AdWords ad on our website generated sales, that is, executed or cancelled a sale of goods.

   The data and information collected through the use of the conversion cookie is used by Google to create visit statistics for our website. These visit statistics are used in order to determine the total number of users who have been served through AdWords ads to ascertain the success or failure of each AdWords ad and to optimize our AdWords ads in the future. Neither our company nor other Google AdWords advertisers receive information from Google that could identify the website visitor.

5. Display Ad Cookies

   Golease UK Limited uses Display Advertising for the purposes of marketing and remarketing of the enterprise to different audiences using various Display ad networks. For this we use ad form platform, which stores cookies on your PC using Ad Form Ad Serving system. This allows advertisers to collect and store data about internet users and use them for analysis and online behavioural advertisements. Users can read about their privacy policy here: https://site.adform.com/privacy-policy-opt-out/.

Furthermore, already set cookies may be deleted at any time via an Internet browser or other software programs. This is possible in all popular Internet browsers. If the website visitor deactivates the setting of cookies in the Internet browser used, not all functions of our website may be entirely usable.
