We also explain how you can influence the collection and use of your personal information.

What data is collected
eu.rigol.com collects data and/or used cookies in several ways:
We use Google Analytics and Google Adwords beacons or cookies to track website functionality and usage in generally anonymous ways. Some of this data is associated with cookies, user identifiers, or advertising identifiers. Google Analytics User and Event data is only retained for 14 months. This data is not used to identify, sell, or market to individuals.
Similarly, some log files are recorded containing general information including IP address, operating system, browser, date & time, sites visited. This data is also only used for technical operation of the website.
We use a marketing automation toolkit that includes beacons or cookies to track individual activity through the site including downloads, page visits, and other behaviors. This data contains IP address information and may be connected to data from previous sessions or forms filled out including email, name, and additional information. This data is used for selling and marketing activities by RIGOL.
We use forms often including information such as email address, phone, or physical address information. This information is used in cases where you would like to request a quotation or place an order to verify the appropriate shipping, tax, and product selections. We may request some personal data at other locations on the site where we believe the best way to respond to your question or need is through further communication.
Some areas of this website include embedded 3rd party web content such as YouTube videos. Some of these tools, including YouTube, may capture additional data that is not stored or controlled by us. For instance, YouTube may use videos you have chosen to watch to inform future video options.
Registration and Logging in requires a verified email address to make certain the data you access is yours. Emails in this support site are only accessible for the purpose of responding to and organizing specific support requests that are specifically created by the user.
Links to this privacy policy appear in the footer on site pages and on other pages where appropriate to make certain users can make informed decisions regarding their data.
Who has access to the data
As stated above, some data may be shared with 3rd party partners within the EU for the purpose of providing RIGOL service and support locally to customers and potential customers. A good example of this would be a quotation request that is shared with a local partner who has the available inventory to get the best price and lead time for a request.
Additionally, for the fulfillment of the contract pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b GDPR we pass on your data to the shipping company responsible for the delivery, as far as this is necessary for the delivery of ordered goods. Depending on which payment service provider you select in the order process, we will forward payment data collected to the credit institution commissioned with the payment and any payment service providers commissioned by us to process the payments or to the selected payment service. In part, the selected payment service providers also collect this data themselves, provided that you create an account there. In this case, you must log in to the payment service provider with your access data during the ordering process. In this respect, the privacy policy of the respective payment service provider applies.
We use shipping service providers based in a state outside the European Union. The transfer of personal data to this company takes place only in the context of the need to fulfill the contract.
RIGOL also uses the data internally (for those who have opted in) to make certain customers and potential customers are aware of the latest products, promotions, services, and RIGOL news. RIGOL does not sell or share this data for any other purposes.
