On the basis of this information (e.g. which contents are downloaded, clicked or viewed how often and for how long), we create a user profile to personalise and foster the quality of our communication and interaction with you (for example, by way of newsletter tracking or website analytics). The logic behind our profiling activities is to identify topics which may be useful or otherwise of interest for you and to inform you about such topics in a more customised way. The algorithms we use apply this logic and automatically deliver the suitable content or information to you.
Please note: Under Article 21, para. 2 of the European General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) you have the right to object to the processing of your Personal Data for marketing purposes, including the profiling described above. Please refer to " Your rights" below for a detailed explanation of your rights and how to may exercise them.

We will not use your Personal Data for taking any automated decisions affecting you or creating profiles in another manner than described above.
The legal bases for processing of your Personal Data are specified in GDPR, Article 6.

In addition, the processing may be based on your explicit consent where you have given that to us.
The following information provides a simple overview of that happens to your Personal Data when you visit our website.
Personal Data refers to all data with which you may be personally identified. Detailed information on data protection can be found in our Data Protection Notice.
Who is responsible for the recording of data on this website?
The data processing on this website is provided by the website operator. The contact data of said operator can be found in the imprint of this website.
One way of collecting your data is that you provide us with it. This may include, e.g., data that you enter into a contact form.
Other data are automatically recorded by our IT systems when visiting our website. These are, in particular, technical data (e.g. Internet browser, operating system or time when the page is viewed). The recording of said data is automatically carried out as soon as you enter our website.
Part of the data is collected to ensure a flawless operation of the website. Other data may also be used for the analysis of your user behaviour.
At any time, you have the right to obtain free information about the origin, recipients and purpose of your stored Personal Data. Furthermore, you have the right to request that said data is corrected, blocked or deleted. In this regard, as well as with respect to any other questions on data protection issues, you may contact us at any time at the address stated in the imprint. Moreover, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority.
When visiting our website, your surfing behaviour may be statistically analysed. This is mainly done by Cookies and so-called analytics programmes. The analysis of your surfing behaviour is generally carried out anonymously; the surfing behaviour cannot be traced back to you. You may object to this analysis or prevent it by not using certain tools. Detailed information in this regard may be found in the following data protection notice.
You may object to this analysis. You will find information on how to object in this data protection notice.
The operators of these pages take the protection of your Personal Data very seriously. We keep your Personal Data confidential and comply with the respective legal data protection requirements as well as this data protection notice.
Personal Data refers to data with which you may be personally identified. The present data protection notice explains which data we collect and what we use it for. It also explains how and for which purposes this is done.
We refer to the fact that online data transfer (e.g. when communicating via email) may be subject to security breaches. A watertight protection of data against third-party access is not possible.
The responsible controller is the person or the entity that - alone or collectively - makes decisions regarding the purposes and means of processing Personal Data (e.g. Names, email-addresses, and the like).
Many data processing operations are possible upon explicit consent only. You may withdraw your already given consent at any time. It is sufficient to send us an informal communication via email. The lawfulness of data processing prior to the withdrawal remains unaffected from the withdrawal.
In the event of data protection breaches, the Data Subject has the right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority. The competent supervisory authority with respect to data protection issues is the data protection officer of the Land [Landesdatenschutzbeauftragter], the German state, the company is headquartered in.
You have the right that the data, which we process automatically based on your consent or to perform a contract, is issued to either you or a third party in q commonly used and machine-readable format. When you request that the data is directly transferred to another controller, this shall be done only where technically feasible.
Within the scope of the applicable legal provisions, you have - at any time - the right to free access to your stored Personal Data, their origin and recipients and the purpose of data processing as well as a right to said data being corrected, blocked or deleted, where applicable. In this regard, as well as with respect to any other questions on Personal Data, you may contact us at any time at the address stated in the imprint.
The use of contact data published within the context of the obligation to provide an imprint to transmit any advertisement and information material which was not explicitly requested is herewith opposed. The operators of the pages explicitly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of unsolicited mailings of advertisement information, e.g. spam emails.

This website uses Google AdSense, a service to integrate Google Inc. (“Google”) advertisement. The provider is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.
Google AdSense uses so-called “cookies,” i.e. text files which are stored to your computer and which allow for an analysis of the website usage.

Our website uses the Google Analytics’ Remarketing function in combination with the functions of Google AdWords and Google DoubleClick, which are functions across any devices. The provider is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.
This function allows for the advertisement target groups created by Google Analytics Remarketing to be associated with the Google AdWords and Google DoubleClick functions across any devices. This is how interest-related and personalised advertisement contents which were customised to you based on your past usage and surfing behaviour on a terminal device (e.g. mobile telephone) to also be shown on another of your terminal devices (e.g. tablet or computer).
Where you have given the respective consent, Google will connect your web and app browser history to your Google account for this purpose. This is how the same personalised marketing content may be advertised on all of your terminal devices on which you are logged in with your Google account.
To support this function, Google Analytics records the Google-authenticated user ID, which is temporarily linked to our Google Analytics data in order to identify and create target groups for the display of advertisement across all devices.
The combination of all recorded data in your Google account is subject to your consent that you may provide to Google or withdraw it, respectively (GDPR, Art. 6, para. 1 (a)). The data recording operations which are not pooled in your Google account (because, e.g., you do not have a Google account or objected to the combination of data) is based on the recording of data according to GDPR, Art. 6, para. 1 (f). The legitimate interest is based on the fact that the website operator has an interest in the anonymised analysis of its website visitors for marketing purposes.
This website uses Google AdWords. AdWords is an online advertisement programme of Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (“Google”).
In the context of Google AdWords, we make use of so-called conversion tracking. When you click on an advertisement provided by Google, a cookie will be set for conversion tracking. Cookies are small text files which the Internet browser stores to the user’s computer. These cookies loose their validity after 30 days and do not serve the purpose to personally identify the user. When the user visits certain pages of this website and the cookie is still valid, Google and we are able to see that the user clicked to this advertisement and was forwarded to this page.
Each Google AdWords customer gets a different cookie. The cookies cannot be tracked through the websites of AdWords customers. Information generated by the aid of conversion cookies serve the purpose to create conversion statistics for AdWords customers who have chosen to implement conversion tracking. The customers will learn the total number of users who clicked on their advertisement and were forwarded to a page provided with a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not obtain any information by which a user could be personally identified. In case you do not wish to participate in tracking, you may object to it by opting out of the Google conversion tracking cookie in the user settings of your Internet browser. Once you did that, you will no longer be in the conversion tracking statistics.
The “conversion cookies” shall be stored in accordance with GDPR, Art. 6, para. 1 (f). The website operator has a legitimate interest in the analysis of user behaviour in order to optimise both its web offerings and marketing materials.
reCAPTCHA shall be used to evaluate whether data is entered on our websites (e.g. in contact forms) by a human being or by an automated programme. To this end, reCAPTCHA analyses the website visitor’s behaviour based on various characteristics. The analysis is automatically initiated once the website visitor enters the website. For the analysis, reCAPTCHA evaluates different information (e.g. IP address, visitor’s time spent on the website and mouse movement of the user). The data recorded during the analysis is forwarded to Google.
The reCAPTCHA analyses are completely carried out in the background. Website visitors are informed that an analysis is taking place.
Data shall be processed in accordance with GDPR, Art. 6, para. 1 (f). The website operator has a legitimate interest in protecting his web offerings against abusive automated spyware and against SPAM.
For conversion tracking, our website uses the Facebook Pixel of Facebook Inc., 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA (“Facebook”).
This allows for the behaviour of the page visitors to be tracked after they clicked on a Facebook advertisement and were forwarded to the provider’s website. The effectiveness of Facebook advertisement can thus be analysed for statistical and marketing-related purposes and future marketing measures may be optimised.
The data collected is anonymous for us as operators of this website and we cannot draw any conclusions regarding the identity of the users. However, the data is stored and processed by Facebook, such that a connection to the respective user profile is possible and Facebook can use the data for its own marketing purposes according to Facebook’s policy on the use of data.
