Secu­ri­ty

We take appro­pria­te tech­ni­cal and orga­ni­sa­tio­nal mea­su­res to ensu­re a level of pro­tec­tion appro­pria­te to the risk, taking into account the sta­te of the art, the imple­men­ta­ti­on cos­ts and the natu­re, the scope, the cir­cum­s­tances and the pur­po­ses of the pro­ces­sing, as well as the dif­fe­rent pro­ba­bi­li­ty and seve­ri­ty of the risk to the rights and free­doms of natu­ral per­sons.
Mea­su­res include, in par­ti­cu­lar, ensu­ring the con­fi­den­tia­li­ty, inte­gri­ty and avai­la­bi­li­ty of data by con­trol­ling phy­si­cal access to the data, as well as access, input, dis­clo­sure, secu­ri­ty of avai­la­bi­li­ty and sepa­ra­ti­on.

Coope­ra­ti­on with pro­ces­sors, joint mana­gers and third parties

If, in the cour­se of our pro­ces­sing, we dis­c­lo­se data to other per­sons and com­pa­nies (pro­ces­sors, joint con­trol­lers or third par­ties), trans­mit them to them or other­wi­se grant them access to the data, this is only done on the basis of a legal per­mis­si­on (e.g. if the trans­fer of the data to third par­ties, as to pay­ment ser­vice pro­vi­ders, is requi­red for the ful­film­ent of the con­tract), users have con­sen­ted to this, or on the basis of our legi­ti­ma­te inte­rests (e.g. , web hosts, etc.).
If we dis­c­lo­se, trans­mit or other­wi­se grant access to other com­pa­nies in our group of com­pa­nies, this is done, in par­ti­cu­lar for admi­nis­tra­ti­ve pur­po­ses, as a legi­ti­ma­te inte­rest and in addi­ti­on on a basis cor­re­spon­ding to the legal requirements.

Trans­fers to third countries

If we pro­cess data in a third coun­try (i.e. out­side the Euro­pean Uni­on (EU), the Euro­pean Eco­no­mic Area (EEA) or the Swiss Con­fe­de­ra­ti­on) or if we pro­cess it in the con­text of the use of third-par­ty ser­vices or dis­clo­sure or trans­fer of data to other per­sons or com­pa­nies, this will only be done if it is done in order to ful­fil our (pre)contractual obli­ga­ti­ons, on the basis of your con­sent, on the basis of a legal obli­ga­ti­on or on the basis of our legi­ti­ma­te inte­rests. Sub­ject to legal or con­trac­tu­al aut­ho­ri­sa­ti­ons, we pro­cess or lea­ve the data in a third coun­try only if the legal requi­re­ments are met. This means that the pro­ces­sing is car­ri­ed out, for exam­p­le, on the basis of spe­cial gua­ran­tees, such as the offi­ci­al­ly reco­g­nis­ed deter­mi­na­ti­on of an EU-com­pli­ant level of data pro­tec­tion (e.g. for the USA through the “Pri­va­cy Shield”) or com­pli­ance with offi­ci­al­ly reco­g­nis­ed spe­cial con­trac­tu­al obligations.

Rights of data subjects

You have the right to request con­fir­ma­ti­on as to whe­ther the data in ques­ti­on is being pro­ces­sed and for infor­ma­ti­on about this data as well as for fur­ther infor­ma­ti­on and copy of the data in accordance with the legal requi­re­ments.
They have accor­din­gly. the right to request the com­ple­ti­on of the data con­cer­ning you or the cor­rec­tion of the inac­cu­ra­te data con­cer­ning you.
In accordance with the sta­tu­to­ry requi­re­ments, you have the right to demand that the data in ques­ti­on be dele­ted imme­dia­te­ly or, alter­na­tively, to demand a rest­ric­tion on the pro­ces­sing of the data in accordance with the sta­tu­to­ry requi­re­ments.
You have the right to request that the data con­cer­ning you, which you have pro­vi­ded to us, be recei­ved in accordance with the sta­tu­to­ry requi­re­ments and request their trans­mis­si­on to other con­trol­lers.

Coo­kies and right of objec­tion in the case of direct marketing

“Coo­kies” means small files that are stored on users’ com­pu­ters. Dif­fe­rent infor­ma­ti­on can be stored within the coo­kies. A coo­kie is pri­ma­ri­ly used to store the infor­ma­ti­on about a user (or the device on which the coo­kie is stored) during or after his visit within an online offer. Tem­po­ra­ry coo­kies, or “ses­si­on coo­kies” or “tran­si­ent coo­kies”, are coo­kies that are dele­ted after a user lea­ves an online offer and clo­ses their brow­ser. In such a coo­kie, for exam­p­le, the con­tents of a shop­ping cart can be stored in an online shop or a log­in sta­tus. Coo­kies are cal­led “per­ma­nent” or “per­sis­tent” and remain stored even after the brow­ser is clo­sed. For exam­p­le, the log­in sta­tus can be saved if the users visit them after seve­ral days. Simi­lar­ly, such a coo­kie may store the inte­rests of users who are used for ran­ge mea­su­re­ment or mar­ke­ting pur­po­ses. “Third-par­ty coo­kie” means coo­kies that are offe­red by pro­vi­ders other than the per­son respon­si­ble for the online offer (other­wi­se, if it is only its coo­kies, it is cal­led “first-par­ty coo­kies”).
We may use tem­po­ra­ry and per­ma­nent coo­kies and cla­ri­fy this within the scope of our data pro­tec­tion decla­ra­ti­on.
If users do not want coo­kies to be stored on their com­pu­ter, they are asked to deac­ti­va­te the cor­re­spon­ding opti­on in the sys­tem set­tings of their brow­ser. Saved coo­kies can be dele­ted in the sys­tem set­tings of the brow­ser. The exclu­si­on of coo­kies may lead to func­tion­al limi­ta­ti­ons of this online offer.
A gene­ral objec­tion to the use of coo­kies used for online mar­ke­ting pur­po­ses can be explai­ned by a lar­ge num­ber of ser­vices, espe­ci­al­ly in the case of track­ing, via the US site http://www.aboutads.info/choices/ or the EU site http://www.youronlinechoices.com/. Fur­ther­mo­re, the sto­rage of coo­kies can be achie­ved by swit­ching them off in the set­tings of the brow­ser. Plea­se note that not all func­tions of this online offer can be used.

Dele­ti­on of data

The data pro­ces­sed by us will be dele­ted or rest­ric­ted in their pro­ces­sing in accordance with the legal requi­re­ments. Unless express­ly sta­ted in the con­text of this data pro­tec­tion decla­ra­ti­on, the data stored by us will be dele­ted as soon as they are no lon­ger neces­sa­ry for their pur­po­se and the dele­ti­on is not pre­cluded by legal reten­ti­on obli­ga­ti­ons.
Unless the data is dele­ted becau­se it is neces­sa­ry for other and legal­ly per­mis­si­ble pur­po­ses, its pro­ces­sing will be rest­ric­ted. This means that the data is blo­cked and not pro­ces­sed for other pur­po­ses. This appli­es, for exam­p­le, to data that must be retai­ned for com­mer­cial or tax reasons.

Chan­ges and updates to the Pri­va­cy Policy

We kind­ly ask you to inform yours­elf regu­lar­ly about the con­tent of our data pro­tec­tion decla­ra­ti­on. We will adjust the Pri­va­cy Poli­cy as soon as the chan­ges to the data pro­ces­sing we per­form make this neces­sa­ry. We will inform you as soon as the chan­ges requi­re an act of par­ti­ci­pa­ti­on on your part (e.g. con­sent) or any other indi­vi­du­al notification.

GDPR in order to pro­vi­de them with our con­trac­tu­al or pre-con­trac­tu­al ser­vices. The data pro­ces­sed here, the natu­re, scope and pur­po­se and the neces­si­ty of their pro­ces­sing are deter­mi­ned by the under­ly­ing con­trac­tu­al rela­ti­onship.
The data pro­ces­sed includes the mas­ter data of our con­trac­tu­al part­ners (e.g., names and addres­ses), cont­act data (e.g. e‑mail addres­ses and tele­pho­ne num­bers) as well as con­tract data (e.g., ser­vices used, con­tract con­tents, con­trac­tu­al com­mu­ni­ca­ti­on, names of cont­act per­sons) and pay­ment data (e.g., bank details, pay­ment histo­ry).
In prin­ci­ple, we do not pro­cess spe­cial cate­go­ries of per­so­nal data, unless the­se are com­pon­ents of com­mis­sio­ned or con­trac­tu­al pro­ces­sing or employee data due to legal obli­ga­ti­ons.
We pro­cess data that is neces­sa­ry for the estab­lish­ment and per­for­mance of the con­trac­tu­al ser­vices and point out the neces­si­ty of their dis­clo­sure, unless this is evi­dent for the con­trac­tu­al part­ners. Dis­clo­sure to exter­nal per­sons or com­pa­nies is only made if it is requi­red under a con­tract. When pro­ces­sing the data pro­vi­ded to us in the con­text of an order, we act in accordance with the ins­truc­tions of the cli­ents as well as the legal requi­re­ments.
As part of the use of our online ser­vices, we may store the IP address and the time of the respec­ti­ve user action. The sto­rage is based on our legi­ti­ma­te inte­rests, as well as the inte­rests of the users in the pro­tec­tion against misu­se and other unaut­ho­ri­zed use. In prin­ci­ple, this data will not be pas­sed on to third par­ties, unless it is in accordance with the pro­se­cu­ti­on of our claims. Art. 6 Abs. 1 lit. GDPR or the­re is a legal obli­ga­ti­on to do so in accordance with the Art. 6 Abs. 1 lit. c. GDPR.
The data shall be dele­ted if the data are no lon­ger neces­sa­ry for the ful­film­ent of con­trac­tu­al or sta­tu­to­ry duties of care and for the hand­ling of any war­ran­ty and simi­lar obli­ga­ti­ons, wher­eby the need for the reten­ti­on of the data is che­cked every three years; the sta­tu­to­ry reten­ti­on obli­ga­ti­ons shall apply.

Admi­nis­tra­ti­on, Finan­cial Accoun­ting, Office Orga­niza­ti­on, Cont­act Management

We pro­cess data in the con­text of admi­nis­tra­ti­ve tasks as well as the orga­ni­sa­ti­on of our ope­ra­ti­ons, finan­cial accoun­ting and com­pli­ance with legal obli­ga­ti­ons, such as archi­ving. In doing so, we pro­cess the same data that we pro­cess in the con­text of the pro­vi­si­on of our con­trac­tu­al ser­vices. The basis for pro­ces­sing is Art. 1 lit. c. GDPR, Art. 1 lit. f. GDPR. The pro­ces­sing affects cus­to­mers, pro­s­pects, busi­ness part­ners and web­site visi­tors. The pur­po­se and inte­rest in the pro­ces­sing lies in the admi­nis­tra­ti­on, finan­cial accoun­ting, office orga­niza­ti­on, archi­ving of data, i.e. tasks that ser­ve the main­ten­an­ce of our busi­ness acti­vi­ties, per­for­mance of our tasks and the pro­vi­si­on of our ser­vices. The era­su­re of the data with regard to con­trac­tu­al ser­vices and con­trac­tu­al com­mu­ni­ca­ti­on cor­re­sponds to the infor­ma­ti­on refer­red to in the­se pro­ces­sing acti­vi­ties.
We dis­c­lo­se or trans­mit data to the tax admi­nis­tra­ti­on, con­sul­tants, such as tax advi­sors or audi­tors, as well as other fee agen­ci­es and pay­ment ser­vice pro­vi­ders.

News­let­ter

With the fol­lo­wing infor­ma­ti­on we inform you about the con­tents of our news­let­ter as well as the regis­tra­ti­on, ship­ping and sta­tis­ti­cal eva­lua­ti­on pro­ce­du­re as well as your rights of objec­tion. By sub­scrib­ing to our news­let­ter, you agree to the receipt and the pro­ce­du­res descri­bed.
Con­tent of the news­let­ter: We send news­let­ters, e‑mails and other elec­tro­nic noti­fi­ca­ti­ons with adver­ti­sing infor­ma­ti­on (her­ein­af­ter “News­let­ter”) only with the con­sent of the reci­pi­ents or a legal per­mis­si­on. If the con­tents of the news­let­ter are spe­ci­fi­cal­ly descri­bed in the con­text of a regis­tra­ti­on, they are decisi­ve for the con­sent of the users. In addi­ti­on, our news­let­ters con­tain infor­ma­ti­on about our pro­ducts and accom­pany­ing infor­ma­ti­on (e.g. safe­ty ins­truc­tions), offers, pro­mo­ti­ons and our company.

Dou­ble opt-in and logging:

The regis­tra­ti­on for our news­let­ter takes place in a so-cal­led dou­ble opt-in pro­ce­du­re. I.e. You will recei­ve an e‑mail after regis­tra­ti­on asking you to con­firm your regis­tra­ti­on. This con­fir­ma­ti­on is neces­sa­ry so that no one can log in with for­eign e‑mail addres­ses. The regis­tra­ti­ons for the news­let­ter are log­ged in order to be able to pro­ve the regis­tra­ti­on pro­cess accor­ding to the legal requi­re­ments. This includes sto­ring the log­in and con­fir­ma­ti­on time, as well as the IP address. The chan­ges to your data stored by the ship­ping ser­vice pro­vi­der will also be log­ged.
Regis­tra­ti­on details: To regis­ter for the news­let­ter, it is suf­fi­ci­ent to pro­vi­de your e‑mail address. Optio­nal­ly, we ask you to include a name in the news­let­ter for per­so­nal address.

Sec­tion 107 para. 2 TKG or if con­sent is not requi­red, based on our legi­ti­ma­te inte­rests in direct mar­ke­ting in accordance with Art. 6 Abs. 1 accor­ding to GDPR i.V.m. Sec­tion 107 para. 2 & 3 TKG.
The regis­tra­ti­on pro­ce­du­re is log­ged on the basis of our legi­ti­ma­te inte­rests in accordance with the Art. 6 Abs. 1 lit. f GDPR. Our inte­rest is focu­sed on the use of a user-fri­end­ly and secu­re news­let­ter sys­tem that ser­ves our busi­ness inte­rests as well as meets the expec­ta­ti­ons of our users and also allows us to pro­ve con­sent.
Cancellation/revocation — You can can­cel the receipt of our news­let­ter at any time, i.e. revo­key­ourd your cons­ents. A link to can­cel the news­let­ter can be found at the end of each news­let­ter. We may store the e‑mail addres­ses that have been sent out for up to three years on the basis of our legi­ti­ma­te inte­rests befo­re dele­ting them in order to be able to pro­ve a pre­vious­ly given con­sent. The pro­ces­sing of this data is limi­t­ed to the pur­po­se of a pos­si­ble defen­se of claims.

Hos­ting and e‑mailing

The hos­ting ser­vices we use are inten­ded to pro­vi­de the fol­lo­wing ser­vices: infra­struc­tu­re and plat­form ser­vices, com­pu­ting capa­ci­ty, sto­rage space and data­ba­se ser­vices, e‑mail, secu­ri­ty and tech­ni­cal main­ten­an­ce ser­vices that we use for the pur­po­se of ope­ra­ting this online offer.
In doing so, we, or our hos­ting pro­vi­der, pro­cess inven­to­ry data, cont­act data, con­tent data, con­tract data, usa­ge data, meta and com­mu­ni­ca­ti­on data of cus­to­mers, inte­res­ted par­ties and visi­tors of this online offer on the basis of our legi­ti­ma­te inte­rests in an effi­ci­ent and secu­re pro­vi­si­on of this online offer. Art. 6 Abs. 1 lit. f GDPR in the i.V.m. Art. 28 GDPR (con­clu­si­on of order pro­ces­sing contract).

Coll­ec­tion of access data and log files

We, or our hos­ting pro­vi­der, coll­ect on the basis of our legi­ti­ma­te inte­rests within the mea­ning of Art. 1 lit. f. GDPR data about each access to the ser­ver on which this ser­vice is loca­ted (so-cal­led ser­ver log­files). The access data includes the name of the retrie­ved web­site, file, date and time of retrie­val, amount of data trans­fer­red, noti­fi­ca­ti­on of suc­cessful retrie­val, brow­ser type and ver­si­on, the user’s ope­ra­ting sys­tem, refer­rer URL (the pre­vious­ly visi­ted page), IP address and the reques­t­ing pro­vi­der.

Data, the fur­ther reten­ti­on of which is neces­sa­ry for the pur­po­se of pro­of, is excluded from dele­ti­on until the rele­vant inci­dent is final­ly cla­ri­fied.
Jet­pack (Word­Press Stats)
Based on our legi­ti­ma­te inte­rests (i.e. inte­rest in the ana­ly­sis, opti­miza­ti­on and eco­no­mic ope­ra­ti­on of our online offer within the mea­ning of Art. 6 sec. 1 lit. f. GDPR), we use the plug­in Jet­pack (here the sub­func­tion “Word­press Stats”), which includes a tool for sta­tis­ti­cal eva­lua­ti­on of visi­tor access and from Auto­mat­tic Inc., 60 29th Street #343, San Fran­cis­co, CA 94110, USA. Jet­pack uses so-cal­led “coo­kies”, text files that are stored on your com­pu­ter and which enable an ana­ly­sis of your use of the web­site.
The infor­ma­ti­on gene­ra­ted by the coo­kie about your use of this online offer is stored on a ser­ver in the USA. User pro­files of the users can be crea­ted from the pro­ces­sed data, wher­eby the­se are only used for ana­ly­sis pur­po­ses and not for adver­ti­sing pur­po­ses. For more infor­ma­ti­on, see Automattic’s pri­va­cy poli­cy: https://automattic.com/privacy/ and note on jet­pack coo­kies: https://jetpack.com/support/cookies/.

Goog­le Doubleclick

Based on our legi­ti­ma­te inte­rests (i.e. inte­rest in the ana­ly­sis, opti­miza­ti­on and eco­no­mic ope­ra­ti­on of our online offe­ring within the mea­ning of Art. 6 sec. 1 lit. f. GDPR), we use the ser­vices of Goog­le LLC, 1600 Amphi­theat­re Park­way, Moun­tain View, CA 94043, USA, (“Goog­le”).
Goog­le is cer­ti­fied under the Pri­va­cy Shield Agree­ment and ther­eby offers a gua­ran­tee to com­ply with Euro­pean data pro­tec­tion law (https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt000000001L5AAI&status=Active ).
We use the online mar­ke­ting method Goog­le “Dou­ble­click” to place ads on the Goog­le adver­ti­sing net­work (e.g., in search results, in vide­os, on web­sites, etc.). Dou­ble Click is cha­rac­te­ri­zed by the fact that ads are dis­play­ed in real time based on the pre­su­med inte­rests of the users. This allows us to dis­play ads for and within our online offe­ring in a more tar­ge­ted way, in order to pre­sent users only with ads that poten­ti­al­ly cor­re­spond to their inte­rests. If, for exam­p­le, a user is shown adver­ti­se­ments for pro­ducts for which he has been inte­res­ted in other online offers, this is cal­led “remar­ke­ting”. For the­se pur­po­ses, when we and other web­sites on which the Goog­le adver­ti­sing net­work is acti­ve, a code from Goog­le is exe­cu­ted direct­ly by Goog­le and so-cal­led (re)marketing tags (invi­si­ble gra­phics or code, also refer­red to as “web bea­cons”) are inte­gra­ted into the web­site. With the help of the­se, an indi­vi­du­al coo­kie, i.e. a small file, is stored on the user’s device (ins­tead of coo­kies, com­pa­ra­ble tech­no­lo­gies can also be used). This file records which web­sites the user visi­ted, which con­tent he is inte­res­ted in and which offers the user has cli­cked on, as well as tech­ni­cal infor­ma­ti­on about the brow­ser and ope­ra­ting sys­tem, refer­ring web­sites, visit time as well as fur­ther infor­ma­ti­on on the use of the online offer.
The IP address of the users is also recor­ded, which is trun­ca­ted within Mem­ber Sta­tes of the Euro­pean Uni­on or in other con­trac­ting sta­tes of the Agree­ment on the Euro­pean Eco­no­mic Area and only in excep­tio­nal cases is trans­fer­red com­ple­te­ly to a Goog­le ser­ver in the USA and shor­ten­ed the­re. The abo­ve infor­ma­ti­on may also be lin­ked by Goog­le to such infor­ma­ti­on from other sources. If the user sub­se­quent­ly visits other web­sites, he or she may be shown ads tail­o­red to him or her accor­ding to his/her pre­su­med inte­rests on the basis of his user pro­fi­le.
The data of the users are pro­ces­sed pseud­ony­mously within the frame­work of the Goog­le adver­ti­sing net­work. This means that Goog­le, for exam­p­le, does not store and pro­cess the user’s name or e‑mail address, but pro­ces­ses the rele­vant data coo­kie-rela­ted within pseud­ony­mous user pro­files. This means that from Google’s point of view, the ads are not mana­ged and dis­play­ed for a spe­ci­fic iden­ti­fied per­son, but for the coo­kie owner, regard­less of who that coo­kie owner is. This does not app­ly if a user has express­ly allo­wed Goog­le to pro­cess the data wit­hout this pseud­ony­miza­ti­on. The infor­ma­ti­on coll­ec­ted by Goog­le mar­ke­ting ser­vices about users is trans­mit­ted to Goog­le and stored on Google’s ser­vers in the UNITED Sta­tes.
For more infor­ma­ti­on about Google’s use of data, set­tings and objec­tions, plea­se see Google’s pri­va­cy poli­cy (https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads) and Google’s (https://adssettings.google.com/authenticated) set­tings for dis­play­ing advertisements.

Online social media presences

We main­tain online pre­sen­ces within social net­works and plat­forms in order to com­mu­ni­ca­te with the cus­to­mers, inte­res­ted par­ties and users acti­ve the­re and to inform them about our ser­vices the­re.
We would like to point out that users’ data can be pro­ces­sed out­side the Euro­pean Uni­on. This can crea­te risks for users, as this could, for exam­p­le, make it more dif­fi­cult to enforce users’ rights. With regard to US pro­vi­ders cer­ti­fied under the Pri­va­cy Shield, we would like to point out that they are com­mit­ted to com­ply­ing with EU data pro­tec­tion stan­dards.
Fur­ther­mo­re, users’ data are usual­ly pro­ces­sed for mar­ket rese­arch and adver­ti­sing pur­po­ses. For exam­p­le, user pro­files can be crea­ted from the usa­ge beha­viour and the resul­ting inte­rests of the users. The user pro­files can in turn be used to dis­play adver­ti­se­ments insi­de and out­side the plat­forms, for exam­p­le, which pre­su­ma­b­ly cor­re­spond to the inte­rests of the users. For the­se pur­po­ses, coo­kies are usual­ly stored on the users’ com­pu­ters, in which the user’s usa­ge beha­viour and the inte­rests of the users are stored. Fur­ther­mo­re, data may also be stored in the user pro­files inde­pendent­ly of the devices used by the users (espe­ci­al­ly if the users are mem­bers of the respec­ti­ve plat­forms and are log­ged in to them).
The pro­ces­sing of the per­so­nal data of the users takes place on the basis of our legi­ti­ma­te inte­rests in effec­ti­ve infor­ma­ti­on of the users and com­mu­ni­ca­ti­on with the users in accordance with Art. 6 sec. 1 lit. f. GDPR. If the users are asked by the respec­ti­ve pro­vi­ders of the plat­forms for con­sent to the afo­re­men­tio­ned data pro­ces­sing, the legal basis of the pro­ces­sing is Art. 6 sec. 1 lit. a., Art. 7 GDPR.
For a detail­ed pre­sen­ta­ti­on of the respec­ti­ve pro­ces­sing ope­ra­ti­ons and the opt-out, we refer to the fol­lo­wing lin­ked infor­ma­ti­on of the pro­vi­ders.
Even in the case of requests for infor­ma­ti­on and the asser­ti­on of user rights, we would like to point out that the­se can be asser­ted most effec­tively by the pro­vi­ders. Only the pro­vi­ders have access to the data of the users and can take direct action and pro­vi­de infor­ma­ti­on. If you still need help, you can cont­act us.

Inte­gra­ti­on of third-par­ty ser­vices and content

Within our online offer, we use third-par­ty con­tent or ser­vice offe­rings based on our legi­ti­ma­te inte­rests (i.e. inte­rest in the ana­ly­sis, opti­miza­ti­on and eco­no­mic ope­ra­ti­on of our online offer within the mea­ning of Art. 6 sec. 1 lit. f. GDPR) con­tent or ser­vice offe­rings from third par­ties in order to inte­gra­te their con­tents and ser­vices, such as vide­os or fonts (her­ein­af­ter uni­form­ly refer­red to as “con­tent”).
This always pre­sup­po­ses that the third par­ties to this con­tent per­cei­ve the IP address of the users, sin­ce they could not send the con­tent to their brow­ser wit­hout the IP address. The IP address is the­r­e­fo­re requi­red for the pre­sen­ta­ti­on of this con­tent. We make every effort to use only tho­se con­tent who­se respec­ti­ve pro­vi­ders use the IP address only for the deli­very of the con­tent. Third par­ties may also use so-cal­led pixel tags (invi­si­ble gra­phics, also known as “web bea­cons”) for sta­tis­ti­cal or mar­ke­ting pur­po­ses. The “pixel tags” can be used to eva­lua­te infor­ma­ti­on such as visi­tor traf­fic on the pages of this web­site. The pseud­ony­mous infor­ma­ti­on may also be stored in coo­kies on the user’s device and may include, among other things, tech­ni­cal infor­ma­ti­on about the brow­ser and ope­ra­ting sys­tem, refer­ring web­sites, visi­ting time and other infor­ma­ti­on on the use of our online offer, as well as being lin­ked to such infor­ma­ti­on from other sources.

You­tube

We include the vide­os of the plat­form “You­Tube” of the pro­vi­der Goog­le LLC, 1600 Amphi­theat­re Park­way, Moun­tain View, CA 94043, USA. Pri­va­cy Poli­cy: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/, Opt-Out: https://adssettings.google.com/authenticated.

Using Face­book Social Plugins

Based on our legi­ti­ma­te inte­rests (i.e. inte­rest in the ana­ly­sis, opti­miza­ti­on and eco­no­mic ope­ra­ti­on of our online offer within the mea­ning of Art. 6 sec. 1 lit. f. GDPR) we use social plug­ins (“plug­ins”) of the social net­work facebook.com, which is ope­ra­ted by Face­book Ire­land Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Squa­re, Grand Canal Har­bour, Dub­lin 2, Ire­land (“Face­book”). This may include, for exam­p­le, con­tent such as images, vide­os or texts and but­tons with which users can share con­tent from this online offer within Face­book. The list and appearance of the Face­book social plug­ins can be view­ed here: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/.
Face­book is cer­ti­fied under the Pri­va­cy Shield Agree­ment and ther­eby pro­vi­des a gua­ran­tee to com­ply with Euro­pean data pro­tec­tion law (https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt0000000GnywAAC&status=Active).
When a user calls up a fea­ture of this online offer that con­ta­ins such a plug­in, his device estab­lishes a direct con­nec­tion to the Face­book ser­vers. The con­tent of the plug­in is trans­mit­ted by Face­book direct­ly to the user’s device and inte­gra­ted by the user into the online offer. User pro­files of the users can be crea­ted from the pro­ces­sed data. We the­r­e­fo­re have no influence on the ext­ent of the data that Face­book coll­ects with the help of this plug­in and the­r­e­fo­re informs the users accor­ding to our sta­te of know­ledge.
By inte­gra­ting the plug­ins, Face­book recei­ves the infor­ma­ti­on that a user has acces­sed the cor­re­spon­ding page of the online offer. If the user is log­ged in to Face­book, Face­book can assign the visit to his Face­book account. When users inter­act with the plug­ins, for exam­p­le by pres­sing the Like but­ton or making a com­ment, the cor­re­spon­ding infor­ma­ti­on is trans­mit­ted from your device direct­ly to Face­book and stored the­re. If a user is not a mem­ber of Face­book, the­re is still the pos­si­bi­li­ty that Face­book will find out and store his IP address. Accor­ding to Face­book, only an anony­mi­zed IP address is stored in Ger­ma­ny.
The pur­po­se and scope of the data coll­ec­tion and the fur­ther pro­ces­sing and use of the data by Face­book, as well as the rights and set­ting opti­ons for the pro­tec­tion of the pri­va­cy of users, can be found in Facebook’s pri­va­cy poli­cy: https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/.
If a user is a Face­book mem­ber and does not want Face­book to coll­ect data about him via this online offer and link it to his/her mem­ber data stored on Face­book, he must log out of Face­book befo­re using our online offer and dele­te his coo­kies. Fur­ther set­tings and con­tra­dic­tions to the use of data for adver­ti­sing pur­po­ses are pos­si­ble within the Face­book pro­fi­le set­tings: https://www.facebook.com/settings?tab=ads or via the US site http://www.aboutads.info/choices/ or the EU page http://www.youronlinechoices.com/. The set­tings are plat­form-inde­pen­dent, i.e. they are appli­ed to all devices, such as desk­top com­pu­ters or mobi­le devices.
