Google means Google, LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; reachable in the European Union at: Google Dublin, Google Ireland Ltd., Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, fax: +353 (1) 436 1001.
right to receive the data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format (‘data portability’) and the right to transfer the data to another controller, if the prerequisites of Art. 20(1) (a) and (b) GDPR are fulfilled (Art. 20 GDPR).
The access data is not used to identify individual users and is not combined with other data sources. The access data is deleted when it is no longer required for achieving the purpose of it processing. In the case of recording the data to provide the website, this is the case when you end your visit to the website.
Some elements of our website require that the retrieving browser can be identified even after a page change. Among other information, the cookies process data about language settings.
When contacting our company, e.g. by email or using the contact form on the website, the personal data provided by you will be processed by us so that we can respond to your enquiry.
Your personal data will not be transmitted to other persons, companies or bodies unless you have effectively consented to such transmission. The legal basis of the processing is then Art. 6 (1) Sentence 1(a) GDPR.
We would like to point out that you can object to receiving direct advertising at any time without incurring any costs other than the transmission costs according to the basic rates. To do this, click on the unsubscribe link in the newsletter or send us your objection to the contact data provided under ‘Responsible provider’.
To subscribe to our email newsletter, please use the double opt-in process. Once you have entered the data marked as mandatory, we will send you an email to the email address you have provided, in which we ask you to expressly confirm your subscription to the newsletter (by clicking on a confirmation link). This is how we ensure that you really want to receive our email newsletter. If no confirmation takes place within 24 hours, we block the information transferred to us and delete it automatically after one month at the latest.
We would like to point out that we analyse your user behaviour in relation to the sending of our newsletter. For this analysis, the emails sent out contain so-called web beacons or tracking pixels, which display single-pixel image files that are embedded in our website. For analysis purposes, we link the data mentioned under ‘Access data’ and the web beacons with your email address and an individual ID. Links received in the newsletter also contain this ID.
We use the data collected in this way to create a user profile in order to tailor the newsletter to your individual interests. Here we record when you read our newsletters, which links you click on in them and draw conclusions about your personal interests. We link this data to actions you perform on our website. The information is processed for as long as you have subscribed to the newsletter. Once you unsubscribe, we process the data for purely statistical purposes and anonymously.
Our intention here is to analyse the use of and to optimise the email advertising we send you. The legal basis of the processing is Art. 6(1) Sentence 1(f) GDPR.
You can object to this tracking at any time by clicking on the separate unsubscribe link provided in each newsletter or by informing us using the contact details provided under ‘Responsible provider’.
You can also prevent tracking by disabling the display of images in your email client by default. This will mean that the newsletter will not be displayed completely and you may not be able to use all functions. If you choose to display the images manually, the above tracking will take place.
To send out newsletters, we use the email marketing service SendinBlue, provided by the company SendinBlue, which is headquartered at 55 Rue d’Amsterdam, 75008 Paris, France; web: www.sendinblue.com (hereinafter referred to as “SendinBlue”). SendinBlue is a service which allows the organisation and analysis of newsletter mailing. The data you enter to subscribe to the newsletter (e.g. email address) will be stored on SendinBlue’s servers.
The newsletters we send out with SendinBlue enable us to analyse the behaviour of newsletter recipients. Among other things, it is possible to analyse how many recipients have opened the newsletter message and how often each link was clicked on in the newsletter. With the help of what’s known as conversion tracking, it can also be analysed whether a pre-defined action (e.g. purchase of a product on our website) took place after the newsletter link was clicked on.
The analysis of the information mentioned serves to recognise the reading habits of the recipients so as to better adapt and distribute our newsletter content accordingly. The legal basis of the processing is Art. 6(1) Sentence 1(f) GDPR. We process this data until two years after termination of the contract. If registration for the newsletter takes place and it is unrelated to the conclusion of a contract, we process this data until two years after termination of the usage. We delete this data when the newsletter subscription ends. We have no knowledge of how long SendinBlue stores data and have no way of influencing this. For further information about the protection of your data and your privacy, please refer to https://de.sendinblue.com/legal/privacypolicy/.
You can object to the processing of data for SendinBlue at any time by activating the unsubscribe link at the end of emails sent by SendinBlue or by informing us using the contact details provided under ‘Responsible provider’. This will simultaneously end the processing of data for you being sent the newsletter and for statistical analysis. It is not possible to object to the distribution via SendinBlue or the statistical evaluation separately.
Our website uses plug-ins from the video platform YouTube.de/YouTube.com, a service whose provider – represented by Google – is YouTube LLC (headquartered at 901 Cherry Avenue, San Bruno, CA 94066, USA; “YouTube”). The plug-ins allow us to embed visual content (“videos”) on this website that we have published on Youtube.de/Youtube.com.
The videos are all embedded in ‘extended privacy mode’, which means that no data about you as a user will be transferred to YouTube if you do not play the videos. Only when you play the videos is the following data transferred. We have no influence on this data transfer.
By visiting the website, YouTube receives the information that you have retrieved the corresponding subpage of our website. In addition, the data mentioned under ‘Access data’ is transmitted. This occurs regardless of whether YouTube provides a user account that you are logged in with or whether no user account exists. If you are logged in to Google, your data will be directly associated with your account. If you do not wish for this data to be associated with your YouTube profile, you must log out before activating the button. YouTube stores your data as usage profiles and processes it for purposes of advertising, market research and/or the demand-oriented design of its website. Such analysis takes place in particular (even for users who are not logged in) to provide demand-oriented advertising and to inform other users of the social network about your activities on our website. Google also processes your personal data in the USA and has subjected itself to the EU-US Privacy Shield, https://www.privacyshield.gov/EU-US-Framework.
You have the right to object to the processing, although you must contact YouTube to exercise this right. You can disable or restrict the transfer of cookies by changing the settings in your internet browser. Cookies that have already been saved can be deleted at any time. This can also be done automatically. If cookies are disabled for our website, it may no longer be possible to use the full functionality of the website.
We use “Google Custom Search Engine” (“Google CSE”) as our core search service. The integrated search service enables a full-text search of content on this website.
For the user’s information, the text “Search with Google™ …” is displayed in the search box. If the user selects the text field of the search box and enters a search term, an additional link will appear beneath the search box, which refers to this data protection information.
No data is transferred to Google until you activate the search box, start a full-text search and in turn access the search results page. By using the search function within the search results page, your data will also be transferred to Google at the same time. This includes, for example, the search terms you entered and the IP address of the device you are using. If you visit our official website without activating Google CSE, in principal no data will be transferred to Google. We would like to point out that the processing of any personal data transferred in this manner is the responsibility of Google and that we have no influence on the type or scope of the data transferred or on its further processing. If you are simultaneously logged in to Google, the Google service is able to link the information directly to your user profile. You should log out to prevent the collection of profile information about you.
In order to tailor our website perfectly to your interests, we use Google Analytics, a web analytics service from Google. Google Analytics uses ‘cookies’ (see ‘Cookies’ above), which are stored on your device to enable the analysis of how you use the website. The information generated in this way about your use of this website is transferred to and stored by Google on a server in the USA.
We use Google Analytics to analyse and regularly improve the use of our website. The statistics help us to improve our website and make it more interesting for you as a user. For the exceptional cases in which personal data is transferred to the USA, Google has subjected itself to the EU-US Privacy Shield, https://www.privacyshield.gov/EU-US-Framework. The legal basis of the processing by Google Analytics is Art. 6 (1) Sentence 1(f) GDPR. The Analytics cookies are deleted after fourteen months at the latest.
For more information about the third-party provider Google, please refer to: http://www.google.com/analytics/terms/de.html, http://www.google.com/intl/de/analytics/learn/privacy.html, http://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy.
The website also uses the Website Custom Audiences function by means of the so-called Facebook Pixel, provided by Facebook, Inc. (the provider is Facebook Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Dublin 2, Ireland, email: impressum-support@support.facebook.com, data protection information at: https://www.facebook.com/privacy/explanation; hereinafter referred to as “Facebook”).
This allows users of the website to see interest-based advertisements (“Facebook Ads”) when visiting the social network Facebook or other websites that also use the process. Here we are pursuing the interest of showing you ads that are of interest to you in order to make our website more interesting for you.
Due to the marketing tools used, your browser automatically establishes a direct connection to the Facebook server. We have no influence on the extent and further processing of the data collected by Facebook through the use of this tool and therefore inform you according to what we know: By integrating Facebook Custom Audiences, Facebook receives the information that you have retrieved the corresponding page on our website, or that you have clicked on one of our ads. If you are registered with a Facebook service, Facebook can associate the visit with your account. Even if you are not registered with Facebook or have not logged in, it is possible that the provider will obtain and store your IP address and other identifying information.
The legal basis of the processing of your data is Art. 6(1) Sentence 1(f) GDPR. In this case, we do not store any personal data about you. We have no knowledge of how long Facebook stores data and have no way of influencing this.
Logged-in users can disable the Facebook Custom Audiences function at https://www.facebook.com/settings/?tab=ads# in order to exercise their right to object.
by disabling interest-based ads from providers who are part of the “About Ads” self-regulation initiative via the link http://www.aboutads.info/choices; please note that this setting will be erased if you erase your cookies.
For more information about processing by Facebook, please refer to: https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy.
The processing of your data in this regard is in accordance with Art. 6 (1)(f) GDPR. By using Facebook Analytics, we are pursuing the interest of being able to better evaluate our website and improve our range of services. In this case, we do not store any personal data about you. We have no knowledge of how long Facebook stores data and have no way of influencing this.
Logged-in users can disable the Facebook Analytics function at https://www.facebook.com/settings/?tab=ads# in order to exercise their right to object.
We use the services of Google AdWords from Google to draw attention to our attractive offers with the help of advertising materials (so-called Google AdWords) on external websites. In relation to the data of the advertising campaigns, we can determine how successful the individual advertising measures are. Here we are pursuing the interest of showing you ads that are of interest to you in order to make our website more interesting for you and to achieve a fair calculation of advertising costs.
These advertising media are delivered by Google via so-called ad servers. For this purpose, we use ad server cookies, which can be used to measure certain parameters for measuring success, such as the display of ads or clicks by users. If you reach our website via a Google ad, Google AdWords stores a cookie on your device. These cookies usually expire after 30 days and are not intended to identify you personally. Analysis values usually stored for this cookie are the unique cookie ID, the number of ad impressions per placement (frequency), the last impression (relevant for post-view conversions) and opt-out information (marker showing that the user no longer wishes to be targeted).
These cookies allow Google to recognise your internet browser. If a user visits certain pages of an AdWords customer’s website and the cookie stored on their device has not yet expired, Google and the customer can recognise that the user has clicked on the ad and has been redirected to this site. Each AdWords customer is assigned a different cookie. Cookies cannot therefore be tracked via the websites of AdWords customers. We do not process any personal data ourselves in the aforementioned advertising measures. We only receive statistical analyses from Google. On the basis of these analyses, we can recognise which of the advertising measures used are particularly effective. We do not receive any further data from the use of advertising media; in particular, we cannot identify users on the basis of this information.
Due to the marketing tools used, your browser automatically establishes a direct connection to the Google server. We have no influence on the extent and further processing of the data collected by Google through the use of this tool and therefore inform you according to what we know: By integrating AdWords Conversion, Google receives the information that you have retrieved the corresponding part of our website, or that you have clicked on one of our ads. If you are registered with a Google service, Google can associate the visit with your account. Even if you are not registered with Google or have not logged in, it is possible that the provider will obtain and store your IP address. Google has subjected itself to the EU-US Privacy Shield, https://www.privacyshield.gov/EU-US-Framework.
The legal basis of the processing of your data is Art. 6(1) Sentence 1(f) GDPR. We have no knowledge of how long Google stores data and have no way of influencing this.

We use the services of The ADEX GmbH (ADEX). This is a company based in Germany, Torstr. 19 10119 Berlin (hereinafter referred to as “ADEX”).
ADEX offers what are known as targeting technologies, which involves ADEX evaluating certain usage behaviour on the website in order to optimise advertising based on individual usage interests. Cookies, web beacons or similar technologies are used for this purpose. The usage data collected is recorded using a cookie ID and processed under this pseudonym. This pseudonym is assigned information about user activities on our websites, services, applications and tools (e.g. advertising banners clicked on, subpages visited, search queries sent, etc.).
Since data sets are aggregated, any personal identification of users can be ruled out. On the internet, every device requires a unique address, known as an IP address, for the transfer of data. The way in which the internet works means that it is necessary to store the IP address at least temporarily. IP addresses are shortened before any processing and only processed further after they have been shortened. The complete IP addresses are not stored or processed.
From a technical perspective, the marketing of the aggregated data sets is handled by one of the providers of demand-side and supply-side platforms listed below. For this purpose, only a matching ID corresponding to the cookie ID is used, which does not allow any conclusions to be drawn about the identity of the user.
The legal basis of the processing of your data is Art. 6(1) Sentence 1(f) GDPR. By using the services of ADEX we are pursuing the interest of showing you ads that may be of interest to you in order to make our website more interesting for you. The cookies stored by ADEX are deleted after six months at the latest.
If you no longer wish to be shown usage-based advertising and would like to prevent further recording of your usage behaviour, you can exercise your right to object by clicking on the opt-out button under the following link: http://de.theadex.com/company/consumer-opt- out/.
Further information about privacy at ADEX is available at: http://de.theadex.com/company/privacy/.
We also use AppNexus, a service provider for advertising and operator of a bidding platform, to deploy usage-based advertising. AppNexus, Inc. is a company headquartered in the USA at 28 W 23rd Street, 4th floor, New York, NY – 10010 (hereinafter referred to as “AppNexus”).
Due to the marketing tools used, your browser automatically establishes a direct connection to the AppNexus server. We have no influence on the extent and further processing of the data collected by AppNexus through the use of this tool and therefore inform you according to what we know: By integrating the AppNexus platform, AppNexus receives the information that you have retrieved the corresponding part of our website and that you have clicked on one of our ads, and in this context it records your IP address.
The legal basis of the processing of your data is Art. 6(1) Sentence 1(f) GDPR. The AppNexus cookies are deleted after eighteen months at the latest. By using the AppNexus platform we are pursuing the interest of showing you ads that may be of interest to you in order to make our website more interesting for you.
If you no longer wish to be shown usage-based advertising and would like to prevent further recording of your usage behaviour, you can exercise your right to object by clicking on the opt-out button under the following link: https://www.appnexus.com/en/company/platform-privacy-policy#choices. We would like to point out that your objection also becomes effective when an additional cookie (opt-out cookie) is stored on your device. Without this cookie, it is not possible for us to recognise and comply with your objection. You must leave this cookie stored on your device for your objection to be permanently effective.
For further information about the AppNexus platform, please refer to https://www.appnexus.com/en/company/platform-privacy-policy.
XING AG, Dammtorstraße 29-32, 20354 Hamburg, Germany (http://www.xing.com/privacy).
We offer you the possibility to communicate directly with the provider of the plug-in via the button. Only if you click on the marked field and thereby activate it does the plug-in provider receive the information that you have accessed the corresponding page of our website. In addition, the data mentioned under ‘Access data’ is transferred.
In the case of Facebook and Xing, according to the respective providers’ own information, IP addresses in Germany are anonymised immediately after their collection. By activating the plug-in, personal data about you is therefore transferred to the respective plug-in provider and processed there (in the USA in the case of US providers). Since the plug-in provider collects data via cookies in particular, we recommend that before clicking on the greyed-out box you delete all cookies using your browser’s security settings.
The legal basis of the use of the plug-ins is Art. 6(1) Sentence 1(f) GDPR. Through the plug-ins we offer you the possibility to interact with social networks and other users, so that we can improve our website and make it more interesting for you as a user.
