Privacy & Cookies Policy
This Privacy Policy describes how and when OIKOPLUS GmbH, collects, uses, and shares your information when you use the www.oikoplus.com website. When using the website you consent to the collection, storage, processing and utilization of your information as described in this Privacy Policy, in compliance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) (EU) 2016/679.
Personal information we collect
This website only collects information absolutely necessary for providing its services to its visitors. More specifically, we collect data by using cookies to make the website operational. Thus, when you visit our website, we automatically collect certain information about your device, including information about your web browser type and version, operating system, IP address and time zone settings.
We process this data based on our legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) in ensuring website security, performance, and functionality. Where applicable, we will request user consent before processing non-essential cookies.
What are cookies and how do you delete or block cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your computer or mobile device when you visit the site.
You can delete all cookies that are already on your device by clearing the browsing history of your browser. This will remove all cookies from all websites you have visited. Be aware though that you may also lose saved information (e.g. saved login details, site preferences).
Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies. For more information on how to set the preferences for cookies, please refer to the instructions provided by your browser. You can find out more about cookies and how to control them on www.aboutcookies.org.
If you block our use of cookies, certain parts of our website may not function correctly.
Use of Adobe Fonts (Typekit)
Our website uses fonts from Adobe Fonts (formerly Typekit), a service provided by Adobe Systems Incorporated. When you visit our site, your browser may load these fonts directly from Adobe’s servers. In doing so, Adobe may receive information such as your IP address and browser details. This data is processed according to Adobe’s Privacy Policy, which you can review here: https://www.adobe.com/privacy/policies/adobe-fonts.html.
The use of Adobe Fonts ensures a consistent and visually appealing display of our website across different devices. The legal basis for using Adobe Fonts is our legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) in providing a uniform online presence. However, if you prefer not to share data with Adobe, you can disable web fonts in your browser settings.
Data Retention
We retain personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy. Technical data collected through log files and website interactions is stored for up to 12 months to ensure security and troubleshooting. Cookies are retained according to their individual expiration periods, which can vary based on browser settings. Once the retention period expires, we either delete or anonymize the data unless legal requirements mandate further storage.
Sharing of Data
OIKOPLUS GmbH does not sell, trade, or rent personal data. However, to ensure the website operates effectively, we may share limited technical data with third-party service providers, such as Adobe Fonts or hosting providers. Additionally, we may disclose data when legally required by authorities. Some service providers, including Adobe, may process data outside the European Union (EU) or the European Economic Area (EEA). In such cases, we ensure that adequate safeguards, such as EU Standard Contractual Clauses, are in place to protect your data in accordance with GDPR regulations.

The OIKOPLUS website includes links to third-party websites, in particular websites related to OIKOPLUS reference projects and consortium partner organisations. We are not responsible for the privacy & cookies policies of third parties, nor are we responsible for the information or content these websites contain. We encourage you to read the privacy & cookies policies of third parties before using their websites.

Additionally, you may request the transfer of your data to another service provider in a structured, commonly used format. If you wish to exercise any of these rights, you may contact us at office@oikoplus.com.
Should you believe that your personal data has been processed in violation of any applicable data protection law, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent Data Protection Authority (DPA), pursuant to Article 77 of the Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (GDPR).
