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.

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”).

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.
