"Processing" is every operation or number of operations, including automated processes, which involves personal data. The term encompasses practically any and all handling of data.

In accordance with art. 32 GDPR and under consideration of the level of technology, cost of implementation and the nature, extent, context and purpose of processing as well as the likelihoods and significance of risks for rights and freedoms of natural persons, we have implemented suitable technical and administrative measures in order to grant an appropriate level of protection.
These measures include securing the confidentiality, integrity and availability of data via controlling physical access to data as well as their accessibility, entry, transfer, security of availability and their separation. Furthermore we have implemented methods which allow for support of affected persons, deletion of data and reaction to circumstances endangering data. Furthermore we take the protection of personal data into account during selection of hardware, software and procedures, in accordance with the principle of data protection by design and by default (art.25 GDPR).
If we transfer or grant access to data to other persons or companies (processors or third parties) during the process of processing data, it may only happen on the basis of a legal permission (such as when transferring data to a third party such as a payment provider, in accordance with art.6 §1 lit. b GDPR, is contractually required), the affected person has agreed, a legal obligation is present or on the basis of our legitimate interests (e.g. during the use of representatives, web hosts etc.).
Should we task third parties with the processing of data on the basis of a so called "processing contract", we do so on the basis of art. 28 GDPR.
If data is processed in a third country (a country outside of the European union (EU) or the European economic area (EEA)) by us, by third parties or due to sharing of data with third parties, it may only happen on the basis of your consent, fulfillment of our (pre)contractual obligations, due to legal obligations or on the basis of our legitimate interests. Due to legal or contractual terms we only allow data to be processed in a third country if certain conditions listed in art. 44 ff. GDPR are met. This means that the processing of data is subject to special guarantees, such as the official assessment of a data protection level equivalent to that of the EU (e.g. "privacy shield" in the US) or certain officially recognized contractual obligations (so-called "standard contractual clauses").

Google is certified under the Privacy Shield agreement, offering a guarantee to comply with European data protection laws (https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt000000001L5AAI&status=Active).
Google uses this data on our behalf to process usage of our online services, to create reports concerning activity in our online service, and to provide us with other services related to online services and internet usage. During this, the processed data may be used to create pseudonymous usage profiles of users.
We only use Google Analytics with enabled IP anonymisation. This means that the users IP addresses are truncated in an EU member state or an EEA member state. Only in exceptional cases are full IP addresses transmitted to a Google server in the United States and truncated there.
Personal data is deleted or anonymized after 14 months.
We use Google Analytics to only show our advertisements hosted via Google and its partners to users who show interest in our online service or exhibit certain characteristics (e.g. interest in certain themes or products as demonstrated by visiting related websites), which we transmitted to Google (so-called "Remarketing-" or "Google Analytics Audiences"). Using remarketing audiences, we want to make sure that our adverts correspond to potential user interest.
On the basis of our legitimate interests (interest in analysis, optimization and efficient operation of our online service in accordance with art. 6 §1 lit. f GDPR) we use the services of Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA, ("Google").
We use the online marketing service Google "AdWords" to place ads in the Google advertisement network (e.g. search results, in videos, on websites, etc.) so they are shown so users who may be interested in the adverts. This allows us to display ads within and for our online service more precisely to only present them to users with appropriate interests. If a user is shown, for instance, advertisements for products which he showed interest in on other websites, it is called "remarketing". For this purpose, upon visiting our or other websites on which the Google advertisement network is active, Google immediately executes code which binds (re)marketing tags (invisible graphics or code, also known as "web beacons") into the website. They in turn store cookies on the users device. These cookies contain data about which website the user visits and what content interests them, and further technical data on the browser and operating system, referral websites, the time of visit and further information on the use of the online service.
Furthermore we receive a unique "conversion cookie". Google uses the data collected by this cookie to create conversion statistics for us. We only receive the anonymous total amount of users who clicked on our ad and were forwarded to a site containing a conversion tracking tag. We receive no data that could be used to identify a user.
User data is pseudonymously processed within the Google ad network. This means that Google does not store data like the name or email of users, only relevant cookie-related data contained in pseudonymous user profiles. This in turn means that Google manages ads not for identifiable persons, but for cookie owners, regardless of who they may be. This is not the case if a user has explicitly allowed Google to process their data without pseudonymization. Collected user data is transmitted to Google and stored on Google servers in the USA.
We maintain an online presence on social media websites and platform in order to communicate with customers, interested parties and users and inform them of our offers and services. Visits to those websites and platforms is subject to their own privacy policies and terms and conditions.
On the basis of our legitimate interests (interest in analysis, optimization and efficient operation of our online service in accordance with art. 6 §1 lit. f GDPR) we use content and/or services of third party providers, such as videos or fonts ("content").
This requires the providers of these contents to see the users IP address, as they cannot send the contents to the users browser without the IP address. We endeavor to only use content of providers who use IP addresses only in order to deliver content. Furthermore, third party providers may use so-called pixel tags (invisible graphics, also known as "web beacons") for statistical and marketing purposes. "Pixel tags" can be used to process information such as the number of visitors on the pages within this website. Pseudonymous information may further be stored in cookies on the users end device, which may contain technical information about the browser and operating system, referring websites, time of visit and further data on the use of our online services, and may be connected to similar data from different sources.
