II. General information on data processing
1. Scope of the processing of personal data
As a matter of principle, we collect and use personal data of our users only to the extent that this is necessary for the provision of a functional website as well as our content and services. The collection and use of personal data of our users is regularly carried out only on a legal basis. An exception applies in those cases where a legal basis is not apparent, and the processing of the data can only be legitimized by consent.
2. Legal basis for the processing of personal data
Insofar as we obtain the consent of the data subject for processing operations involving personal data, Art. 6 (1) lit. a of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) serves as the legal basis.
When processing personal data that is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, Art. 6 (1) lit. b GDPR serves as the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations that are necessary for the performance of pre-contractual measures.
Insofar as the processing of personal data is necessary for the fulfilment of a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Art. 6 (1) lit. c GDPR serves as the legal basis.
In the event that vital interests of the data subject or another natural person make it necessary to process personal data, Art. 6 (1) lit. d GDPR serves as the legal basis.
If the processing is necessary to protect a legitimate interest of our company or a third party and the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not override the former interest, Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR serves as the legal basis for the processing.
Data deletion and storage duration
The personal data of the data subject shall be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of storage ceases to apply. Storage may also take place if this has been provided for by the European or national legislator in Union regulations, laws or other provisions to which the controller is subject. Data will also be blocked or deleted if a storage period prescribed by the aforementioned standards expires, unless there is a need for further storage of the data for the conclusion or performance of a contract.
III. Provision of the website and creation of log files
1. Description and scope of data processing
Each time our website is accessed, our system automatically collects data and information from the computer system of the accessing computer. The following data is collected:
– Information about the browser type and version used
– The operating system of the user
– The IP address of the user
– Date and time of access
– Websites from which the user's system accesses our Internet site
– Websites that are called up by the user's system via our website
The data is also stored in the log files of our system. This data is not stored together with other personal data of the user.
Security
To ensure the confidentiality of communication with you, we use TLS encryption for transmission. According to the current state of the art, the 128-bit encryption possible with this can be considered secure. All browsers of the younger generation achieve this level of security. If necessary, you should update the browser on your PC.
2. Legal basis for data processing
The legal basis for the temporary storage of the data and the log files is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.
3. Purpose of data processing
The temporary storage of the IP address by the system is necessary to enable delivery of the website to the user's computer. For this purpose, the IP address of the user must remain stored for the duration of the session.
The storage in log files is done to ensure the functionality of the website. In addition, we use the data to optimize the website and to ensure the security of our information technology systems. An evaluation of the data for marketing purposes does not take place in this context.
These purposes are also our legitimate interest in data processing according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.
4. Duration of storage
The data is deleted as soon as it is no longer required to achieve the purpose for which it was collected. In the case of the collection of data for the provision of the website, this is the case when the respective session has ended.
In the case of storage of data in log files, this is the case after 365 days at the latest.
IP addresses are logged completely for a maximum of 24 hours. After that, the last octet is deleted to make it anonymous, so that it is no longer possible to assign the calling client.
5. Possibility of objection and removal
The collection of data for the provision of the website and the storage of the data in log files is mandatory for the operation of the website. Consequently, there is no possibility of objection on the part of the user.
IV. Web analytics through Google Analytics
1. Description and scope of the processing of personal data
This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google, with your consent. LLC. . The data controller for users based in the EEA is Google Ireland Ltd., Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (“Google”). Google Analytics uses "cookies", which are text files placed on your computer, to help the website analyze how users use the site, so that we can use the statistics and reports to improve our offer and make them more interesting for you as a user of our website. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there.
In the event that IP anonymization is activated on this website, however, your IP address will be truncated beforehand by Google by the last octet within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area (so-called “IP Masking”). Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. For easier management of the tool, we use Google Tag Manager.
For more information on the terms of use, the type of data processing and data protection, please visit https://marketingplatform. google. com/about/analytics/terms/en/ or at https://marketingplatform. google. com/about/ as well as at https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245?hl=en&sjid=16219048611907146386-EU. General notes and information on data processing by Google, which according to information from Google should also apply to Google Analytics, can be found in Google's privacy policy, which you can access at https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en&gl=de.
Our website uses Google conversion tracking with your consent. This is a service offered by Google to measure and verify the success of our advertising campaigns and advertising measures. For this purpose, the advertisements are provided with a technical feature, such as an ID, which can be used to determine how a user interacts with our website after clicking on the advertisement and whether one of our services is actually used. If you have reached our website via an ad placed by Google, Google AdWords sets a cookie on your computer. The conversion tracking cookie is set when a user clicks on an ad placed by Google. These cookies lose their validity after 30 days and are not used for personal identification. If the user visits certain pages of our website and the cookie has not yet expired, we and Google can recognize that the user clicked on the ad and was redirected to this page. Each Google AdWords customer receives a different cookie. Cookies can therefore not be tracked across the websites of AdWords customers. The information obtained using the conversion cookie is used to create conversion statistics for AdWords customers who have opted for conversion tracking. The customers learn the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a page tagged with a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not receive information that personally identifies users.
If you do not wish to participate in the tracking, you can refuse the setting of a cookie required for this - for example, via the cookie-consent banner displayed on the first visit of our website, via browser settings that generally deactivates the automatic setting of cookies, or by setting your browser so that cookies from the domain "googleleadservices. com" are blocked.
With your consent, we also use for our website the remarketing technology of Google. Through this technology, users who have already visited our websites and online services and who are interested in the offer are addressed again through targeted advertising on the pages of the Google Partner Network. The advertising is displayed through the use of cookies - small text files that are stored on the user's computer. With the help of the text files, user behavior when visiting the website can be analyzed pseudonymously and subsequently used for targeted product recommendations and interest-based advertising across websites.
With your consent, we use DoubleClick by Google, a service provided by Google. DoubleClick by Google uses cookies to present you with advertisements that are relevant to you or the prevent you from seeing the same advertisements more than once. In the process, a pseudonymous identification number (ID) is assigned to your browser in order to check which ads were displayed in your browser and which ads were called up. According to Google, the cookies do not contain any personal information. The use of DoubleClick cookies only enables Google and its partner websites to serve ads based on previous visits to our website or other websites on the Internet. The information generated by the cookies is transferred by Google to a server in the USA for analysis and stored there. According to Google, under no circumstances will Google combine their data with other data collected by Google.
You may refuse the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser, however please note that if you do this you may not be able to use the full functionality of our website. In addition, you can prevent the collection of data generated by the cookies and related to your use of the websites to Google as well as the processing of this data by Google, by using the link provided at https:// support. google. com/ads/answer/7395996 available browser plugin. Alternatively, you can deactivate the DoubleClick cookies on the Digital Advertising Alliance site at the following link (https://optout. aboutads. info/? c=2& lang=EN#! %2F).
2. Legal basis for the processing of personal data
The legal basis for the processing your personal data as described above is in each case your prior consent pursuant to Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR. Insofar as neither an adequacy decision of the European Commission (e.g. for the USA) nor other appropriate safeguards for the transfer are in place for the transfer and processing of your personal data to countries outside the European Economic Area, your express prior consent pursuant to Art. 49 (1) lit. a GDPR constitutes the legal basis for the said processing.
We would like to point out that insofar as no adequacy decision of the European Commission or other appropriate safeguards exist for these countries, the high level of data protection in the European Union cannot necessarily be guaranteed despite careful selection and commitment of the partners. If, exceptionally, a data transfer to the USA takes place, there exists, for instance, the risk that US surveillance authorities could access your personal data and process it without effective legal remedies or the enforcement of the data subject rights to which you are entitled under the GDPR. For more information on the revocability of your consent and your rights as a data subject, please see Section VIII "Data Subject Rights" below in this Privacy Policy.
3. Purpose of data processing
The processing of the users' personal data enables us to analyze the surfing behaviour of our users. By evaluating the data obtained, we are able to compile information about the use of the individual components of our website. This helps us to constantly improve our website, its user-friendliness, our marketing measures and reach, as well as the content we provide to you.
According to Google, the IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics is not merged with other data from Google.
4. Duration of storage
The data is deleted as soon as it is no longer required for our recording purposes.
The cookie "_ga" from Google Analytics, which is stored on your computer, has a longest lifetime of 2 years. After that, it is automatically deleted.
5. Possibility of objection and removal
Cookies are stored on the user's computer and transmitted from it to our site. Therefore, you as a user also have full control over the use of cookies.

In this respect, Google acts as a processor. Insofar as Google transfers your data, such as your IP address, to a server in the USA and processes it there, Google has, according to its own statements, imposed a standard on itself that corresponds to the former EU-US Privacy Shield and has promised to comply with applicable data protection laws in the international transfer of data. In addition, in order to establish an adequate level of data protection, we have concluded with Google the EU standard contractual clauses provided by the European Commission, which can be found at the following link: https://business.safety.google/adsprocessorterms/sccs/c2p/.
V. Facebook Pixel (Visitor Activity Pixel)
Furthermore, we use advertising measures of Meta Platforms, Inc., 1601 Willow Road, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA (Meta) or, if you are a resident of the EU, Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Dublin 2, Ireland (hereinafter "Meta") (formerly Facebook) on our website for the purpose of advertising measures and including reach measurement.

If you subsequently log in or are already logged in to the social networks Facebook or Instagram, the visit to our website or the click on a certain ad placed by Meta will be recorded in your profile. The user data collected in this respect does not allow us to identify you, as this data is anonymous for us. However, Meta processes and stores this data itself, so that it is possible for Meta to draw conclusions about your user profile. Even if you are not registered with the social networks Facebook or Instagram, it is possible that Meta will obtain your IP address and other identifying information and use them to build a profile.
The collected data may also be stored by Meta on servers in the USA or transmitted to Meta's servers in the USA. For these cases, Meta has stated that it has imposed a standard on itself that is equivalent to the former EU-US Privacy Shield and has agreed to comply with applicable data protection laws for international data transfers. In addition, we have agreed with Meta on the standard data protection clauses, the purpose of which is to ensure compliance with an adequate level of data protection in the third country.
