Privacy policy | DrofoTech

Last updated: July 7, 2026

1. Introduction

Drofotech ("we," "us," or "our") respects your privacy and is committed to protecting your personal data. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you visit drofotech.com or use our services, how we use that information, and the rights you have in relation to it.

For the purposes of applicable data protection law, including the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the data controller is:

Drak, Johenneken & Penfold Technology GbR
Pützchens Chaussee 178, 53229 Bonn, Germany
contact@drofotech.com

2. Scope

This policy applies to personal data we collect through our website, our products and services, and your communications with us. It does not apply to third-party websites or services that may be linked from our site, which have their own privacy policies.

3. Information We Collect

3.1 Information you provide to us

We collect personal data you choose to provide, for example when you:

complete a contact or enquiry form;
subscribe to a newsletter or other communications;
correspond with us by email or other channels.

This may include your name, email address, and the contents of your messages.

3.2 Information we collect automatically

When you visit our website, we automatically collect certain anonymous information about your visit using privacy-focused, cookieless analytics. This information does not identify you personally and includes:

pages viewed, page titles, referring URLs, and query parameters;
session duration and entry and exit pages;
browser type and version, operating system, screen resolution, and device type;
approximate geographic location (country and region only);
any campaign (UTM) parameters present in the URL.

Your approximate location is derived from your IP address at the time of your visit; we do not store your IP address. We assign an anonymous identifier to distinguish visits and sessions, which contains no personal information.

3.3 Cookies and similar technologies

Our analytics do not use cookies and do not store personal data, so we do not display a cookie consent banner for analytics purposes. For more information, see our Cookies Policy.

4. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

provide, operate, and maintain our website and services;
respond to your enquiries and communicate with you;
understand how visitors use our website so we can improve it, using aggregated, anonymous analytics;
send you communications you have requested;
comply with our legal obligations and protect our legal rights.

5. Legal Bases for Processing (EEA/UK visitors)

Where the GDPR applies, we rely on one or more of the following legal bases:

Consent — where you have given us clear consent (for example, to send you marketing communications). You may withdraw consent at any time.
Performance of a contract — where processing is necessary to provide a service you have requested.
Legitimate interests — where processing is necessary for our legitimate interests, such as understanding and improving our website through anonymous analytics, provided your rights do not override those interests.
Legal obligation — where we are required to process data to comply with the law.

6. How We Share Your Information

We do not sell or rent your personal data. We may share it with:

Service providers who perform services on our behalf (such as email delivery or IT service providers), under appropriate data-processing agreements and only as needed to perform those services;
Legal and regulatory authorities, where required by law or to establish, exercise, or defend our legal rights;
A successor entity, in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, subject to this policy.

7. Data Retention

We keep personal data only for as long as necessary for the purposes described in this policy, or as required by law. Anonymous analytics data is retained for 24 months. Contact data is retained for as long as needed to respond to your enquiry, after which it is deleted or anonymized.

8. Data Security

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures designed to protect your personal data against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

9. Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have the right to:

access the personal data we hold about you;
request correction of inaccurate or incomplete data;
request erasure of your data;
restrict or object to our processing of your data;
request portability of your data;
withdraw consent at any time, where processing is based on consent.

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at contact@drofotech.com. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority (for example, in Germany, your competent state data protection authority — Landesdatenschutzbehörde).

10. Children's Privacy

Our website and services are not directed to children under 16, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from them. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us and we will delete it.

11. Links to Other Websites

Our website may contain links to third-party websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those websites, and we encourage you to review their privacy policies.
