II. Rights of users and data subjects

With regard to the data processing described in more detail below, users and data subjects have the right

Furthermore, the provider is obliged to inform all recipients to whom data has been disclosed by the provider of any rectification or erasure of data or restriction of processing carried out pursuant to Articles 16, 17 (1) and 18 of the GDPR. However, this obligation does not apply if this notification is impossible or involves disproportionate expenditure. Notwithstanding this, the user has a right to information about these recipients.

Likewise, according to Art. 21 GDPR, users and data subjects have the right to object to the future processing of data concerning them, provided that the data is processed by the provider in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. In particular, an objection to data processing for the purposes of direct advertising is permissible.

III. Information on data processing

Your data processed when using our website will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of storage no longer applies, there are no statutory retention periods that prevent the deletion of the data and no other information is provided below regarding individual processing procedures.

Cookie Manager

To obtain consent to use cookies that are not technically necessary on the website, the provider uses a cookie manager.

When the website is accessed, a cookie with the setting information is stored on the user's device so that the user does not have to provide consent on subsequent visits.

The cookie is required to obtain legally compliant consent from the user.

The user can prevent or stop the installation of cookies by adjusting his browser settings.

a) Sitzungs-Cookies/Session-Cookies

We use so-called cookies on our website. Cookies are small text files or other storage technologies that are saved on your device by the Internet browser you use. These cookies process certain information about you on an individual basis, such as your browser or location data or your IP address.

This processing makes our website more user-friendly, effective and secure, as the processing enables, for example, the reproduction of our website in different languages or the offer of a shopping cart function.

The legal basis for this processing is Art. 6 (1) lit b.) GDPR, provided that these cookies process data for the purpose of initiating or executing a contract.

If the processing does not serve to initiate or execute a contract, our legitimate interest lies in improving the functionality of our website. The legal basis is then Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f) GDPR.

When you close your Internet browser, these session cookies are deleted.

b) Third-party cookies

Our website may also use cookies from partner companies with whom we work for the purposes of advertising, analysis or the functionality of our website.

For details, in particular the purposes and legal basis for processing such third-party cookies, please see the information below.

c) Possibility of removal

You can prevent or restrict the installation of cookies by adjusting the settings on your Internet browser. You can also delete cookies that have already been saved at any time. The steps and measures required to do this depend on the specific Internet browser you are using. If you have any questions, please use the help function or documentation for your Internet browser, or contact the manufacturer or support. However, in the case of so-called Flash cookies, processing cannot be prevented via the browser settings. Instead, you must change the settings on your Flash player. The steps and measures required to do this also depend on the specific Flash player you are using. If you have any questions, please use the help function or documentation for your Flash player, or contact the manufacturer or user support.

However, if you prevent or restrict the installation of cookies, this may mean that not all functions of our website are fully usable.

Contact requests / contact options

If you contact us via the contact form or email, the data you provide will be used to process your request. Providing the data is necessary to process and answer your request - without providing it, we cannot answer your request or can only answer it to a limited extent.

The legal basis for this processing is Art. 6 (1) lit. b) GDPR.

Your data will be deleted if your request has been conclusively answered and there are no statutory retention periods that prevent deletion, such as in the case of any subsequent contract processing.

Newsletter

If you register for our free newsletter, the data requested from you, i.e. your email address and - optionally - your name and address, will be sent to us. At the same time, we save the IP address of the internet connection from which you access our website as well as the date and time of your registration. As part of the further registration process, we will obtain your consent to send the newsletter, describe the content in detail and refer you to this privacy policy. We use the data collected exclusively for sending the newsletter - it is therefore not passed on to third parties.

The legal basis for this is Art. 6 (1) lit. a) GDPR.

You can revoke your consent to receive the newsletter at any time with future effect in accordance with Art. 7 Para. 3 GDPR. To do so, you simply need to inform us of your revocation or click on the unsubscribe link included in each newsletter.

User contributions, comments and ratings

We offer you the opportunity to publish questions, answers, opinions or evaluations, hereinafter referred to as "contributions", on our website. If you take advantage of this offer, we will process and publish your contribution, the date and time of submission and any pseudonym you may use.

The legal basis for this is Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR. You can revoke your consent at any time with future effect in accordance with Art. 7 (3) GDPR. All you have to do is notify us of your revocation.

In addition, we also process your IP and email address. The IP address is processed because we have a legitimate interest in initiating or supporting further steps if your contribution infringes on the rights of third parties and/or is otherwise unlawful.

The legal basis in this case is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in the legal defense that may be necessary.

Server data

For technical reasons, in particular to ensure a secure and stable Internet presence, data is transmitted to us or to our web space provider through your Internet browser. These so-called server log files collect, among other things, the type and version of your Internet browser, the operating system, the website from which you accessed our Internet presence (referrer URL), the website(s) of our Internet presence that you visit, the date and time of each access, and the IP address of the Internet connection from which you access our Internet presence.

The data collected in this way will be stored temporarily, but not together with other data about you.

This storage is carried out on the legal basis of Art. 6 Paragraph 1 Letter f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in the improvement, stability, functionality and security of our website.

The data will be deleted after seven days at the latest, unless further storage is required for evidentiary purposes. Otherwise, the data will be wholly or partially exempt from deletion until the incident has been finally resolved.

Instagram

To promote our products and services and to communicate with interested parties or customers, we maintain a company presence on the Instagram platform.

On this social media platform we are jointly responsible with Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Dublin 2, Ireland.

Instagram’s data protection officer can be reached via a contact form:

https://www.facebook.com/help/contact/540977946302970

We have regulated the joint responsibility in an agreement regarding the respective obligations within the meaning of the GDPR. This agreement, from which the mutual obligations arise, can be accessed under the following link:

https://www.facebook.com/legal/terms/page_controller_addendum

The legal basis for the resulting and subsequently reproduced processing of personal data is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in the analysis, communication, sale and promotion of our products and services.

The legal basis can also be the user's consent to the platform operator in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR. The user can revoke this consent for the future at any time by notifying the platform operator in accordance with Art. 7 (3) GDPR.

When you access our online presence on the Instagram platform, Facebook Ireland Ltd., as the operator of the platform in the EU, processes user data (e.g. personal information, IP address, etc.).

This user data is used to provide statistical information about the use of our company presence on Instagram. Facebook Ireland Ltd. uses this data for market research and advertising purposes as well as to create user profiles. Based on these profiles, Facebook Ireland Ltd. is able, for example, to advertise to users within and outside of Instagram based on their interests. If the user is logged into their Instagram account at the time of the visit, Facebook Ireland Ltd. can also link the data to the respective user account.

If the user contacts us via Instagram, the personal data entered by the user on this occasion will be used to process the request. The user's data will be deleted by us if the user's request has been conclusively answered and there are no statutory retention periods, such as in the case of subsequent contract processing, that prevent this.

Facebook Ireland Ltd. may also set cookies to process the data.

If the user does not agree to this processing, it is possible to prevent the installation of cookies by setting the browser accordingly. Cookies that have already been saved can also be deleted at any time. The settings for this depend on the respective browser. In the case of Flash cookies, processing cannot be prevented via the browser settings, but by setting the Flash player accordingly. If the user prevents or restricts the installation of cookies, this may mean that not all Facebook functions can be used to their full extent.

Further information on the processing activities, how to stop them and how to delete the data processed by Instagram can be found in Instagram’s data policy:

https://help.instagram.com/519522125107875

It cannot be ruled out that processing by Facebook Ireland Ltd. may also be carried out via Meta Platforms, Inc., 1601 Willow Road, Menlo Park, California 94025 in the USA.

LinkedIn is a service of LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company, Wilton Plaza, Wilton Place, Dublin 2, Ireland, a subsidiary of LinkedIn Corporation, 1000 W. Maude Avenue, Sunnyvale, CA 94085, USA.

In this respect, we would like to point out that it is possible that user data may be processed outside the European Union, particularly in the USA. This may result in increased risks for users, as it may, for example, make it more difficult to access user data at a later date. We also have no access to this user data. Access is only possible through LinkedIn.

General linking to third-party profiles

The provider includes links to the social networks listed below on the website.

The legal basis for this is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. The provider's legitimate interest is to improve the quality of use of the website.

The plugins are integrated via a linked graphic. Only by clicking on the corresponding graphic will the user be redirected to the service of the respective social network.

After the customer has been redirected, the respective network collects information about the user. This initially includes data such as IP address, date, time and page visited. If the user is logged into their user account on the respective network during this time, the network operator may be able to assign the information collected from the user's specific visit to the user's personal account. If the user interacts via a "Share" button on the respective network, this information may be saved in the user's personal user account and published if necessary. If the user wants to prevent the information collected from being directly assigned to their user account, they must log out before clicking on the graphic. It is also possible to configure the respective user account accordingly.

Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics on our website. This is a web analysis service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, hereinafter referred to as “Google”.

The Google Analytics service is used to analyse the usage behaviour of our website. The legal basis is Art. 6 Paragraph 1 Letter f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in the analysis, optimisation and economic operation of our website.

Usage and user-related information, such as IP address, location, time or frequency of visits to our website, is transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. However, we use Google Analytics with the so-called anonymization function. With this function, Google shortens the IP address within the EU or EEA.

The data collected in this way is then used by Google to provide us with an evaluation of visits to our website and the usage activities there. This data can also be used to provide other services related to the use of our website and the use of the Internet.

Google states that it will not associate your IP address with any other data. Google also maintains

https://www.google.com/intl/de/policies/privacy/partners

We provide you with further information on data protection, including options for preventing the use of your data.

Google also offers

https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de

a so-called deactivation add-on along with further information on this. This add-on can be installed with the common Internet browsers and offers you further control over the data that Google records when you visit our website. The add-on tells the Google Analytics JavaScript (ga.js) that information about visits to our website should not be sent to Google Analytics. However, this does not prevent information from being sent to us or to other web analysis services. Of course, you can also find out whether and which other web analysis services we use in this privacy policy.

Google reCAPTCHA

We use Google reCAPTCHA on our website to check and prevent interactions on our website through automated access, e.g. by so-called bots. This is a service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, hereinafter referred to as "Google".

This service enables Google to determine from which website a request is sent and from which IP address you are using the so-called reCAPTCHA input box. In addition to your IP address, Google may also collect other information that is necessary to offer and guarantee this service.

The legal basis is Art. 6 Paragraph 1 Letter f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in the security of our website and in the prevention of unwanted, automated access in the form of spam or similar.

Google offers

Google-Maps

We use Google Maps on our website to display our location and to create directions. This is a service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, hereinafter referred to as "Google".

In order to enable the display of certain fonts on our website, a connection to the Google server in the USA is established when you access our website.

If you access the Google Maps component integrated into our website, Google will save a cookie on your device via your Internet browser. In order to display our location and create directions, your user settings and data will be processed. We cannot rule out the possibility that Google will use servers in the USA.

If you have given your consent for this processing, the legal basis is Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR. The legal basis can also be Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in optimizing the functionality of our website.

Through the connection to Google established in this way, Google can determine from which website your request was sent and to which IP address the directions should be sent.

If you do not agree to this processing, you have the option of preventing the installation of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on your Internet browser. You can find details about this above under the heading “Cookies”.

In addition, the use of Google Maps and the information obtained via Google Maps is subject to the Google Terms of Use https://policies.google.com/terms?gl=DE&hl=de and the Terms and Conditions for Google Maps https://www.google.com/intl/de_de/help/terms_maps.html.

Vimeo

We use “Vimeo” on our website to display videos. This is a service provided by Vimeo, LLC, 555 West 18th Street, New York, New York 10011, USA, hereinafter referred to as “Vimeo”.

Some of the user data is processed on Vimeo servers in the USA.

If you have given your consent for this processing, the legal basis is Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR. The legal basis can also be Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in improving the quality of our website.

If you visit a page on our website in which a video is embedded, a connection to Vimeo's servers in the USA will be established to display the video. For technical reasons, it is necessary for Vimeo to process your IP address. In addition, the date and time of your visit to our website will also be recorded.

If you are logged in to Vimeo at the same time as you visit one of our websites in which a Vimeo video is embedded, Vimeo may assign the information collected in this way to your personal user account there. If you want to prevent this, you must either log out of Vimeo before visiting our website or configure your Vimeo user account accordingly.

For the purpose of functionality and usage analysis, Vimeo uses the web analysis service Google Analytics. Google Analytics stores cookies on your device via your Internet browser and sends information about the use of our websites in which a Vimeo video is embedded to Google. It cannot be ruled out that Google will process this information in the USA.

The legal basis is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in improving the quality of our website and in Vimeo's legitimate interest in statistically analyzing user behavior for optimization and marketing purposes.

YouTube

We use YouTube on our website. This is a video portal of Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, hereinafter referred to as “YouTube”.

We use YouTube in connection with the "Extended Data Protection Mode" function to be able to show you videos. If you have given your consent for this processing, the legal basis is Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR. The legal basis can also be Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in improving the quality of our website. According to YouTube, the "Extended Data Protection Mode" function means that the data described in more detail below is only transmitted to the YouTube server when you actually start a video.

Without this “Extended Data Protection”, a connection to the YouTube server in the USA will be established as soon as you access one of our websites on which a YouTube video is embedded.

This connection is required in order to be able to display the respective video on our website via your internet browser. In the course of this, YouTube will record and process at least your IP address, the date and time, and the website you visited. In addition, a connection is established to Google's "DoubleClick" advertising network.

If you are logged in to YouTube at the same time, YouTube will assign the connection information to your YouTube account. If you want to prevent this, you must either log out of YouTube before visiting our website or make the appropriate settings in your YouTube user account.

For the purpose of functionality and to analyze usage behavior, YouTube permanently stores cookies on your device via your Internet browser. If you do not agree to this processing, you have the option of preventing the storage of cookies by changing the settings in your Internet browser. You can find more information about this above under "Cookies".

WhatsApp contact

To make contact, the provider enables the customer, among other things, to contact the company via the messenger service WhatsApp. WhatsApp is a service of WhatsApp Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland, hereinafter WhatsApp, a subsidiary of Facebook.

_____________________

However, according to the data protection supervisory authorities, the USA does not currently have an adequate level of data protection. However, there are so-called standard contractual clauses:

Further information on the purpose and scope of data collection and further processing of this data by WhatsApp and Facebook as well as related rights and setting options for protecting privacy can be found in WhatsApp's privacy policy:

https://www.whatsapp.com/legal/#privacy-policy.

GDPR, insofar as the contact concerns an existing contractual relationship or serves to initiate such a contractual relationship. If the contact is not made for the above purposes, the legal basis is Art. 6 Para. 1 Letter f. GDPR. The provider's legitimate interest is in improving the quality of service.
