These service providers will only be provided with appropriate and minimal information for the duties/tasks to be undertaken.

14 Social media links

Instead, we use simple passive links to the profiles on Twitter, Google+, XING, Facebook, YouTube and LinkedIn.

15 Embedded YouTube videos
(1) Our website uses embedded YouTube videos,which are stored at http://www.YouTube.com. All such videos are embedded using the ‘enhanced data privacy’ mode. Only after playing one of these videos may your data be transferred to YouTube. We have no control over this transfer.
(2) More information about the purpose and scope of data collection and processing by YouTube can be found in their data privacy policy.

(1) Our website uses Google AdWords to attract interest by means of advertising media (so called Google AdWords) on external websites. This allows us to analyse the success of individual marketing measures compared to the advertising campaign. We aim to show you only those ads that are relevant to you.
(2) These ads are delivered by Google, using so called ‘ad servers’. We use ad server cookies, which we use to measure certain success indicators, such as ad impressions or clicks by users. If you visit our website by clicking on a Google ad, Google AdWords will place a cookie on your computer. These cookies are usually valid for 30 days and are not intended to identify you personally. Certain analytical values are saved together with the cookie, such as unique cookie ID, number of ad impressions per position (frequency), last impression (relevant for post view conversions) and opt-out information (a marker indicating a user does not want to see the ad anymore).
(3) These cookies enable Google to recognize your internet browser. When a user visits website pages of an AdWords client and the cookie is still valid, Google and the client recognize that the user clicked on an ad and was redirected to this page. A different cookie is allocated to each AdWords client. Therefore, cookies cannot be tracked back by an AdWords client’s website. Within these advertising campaigns, we don’t collect or process personal data. Google only provides accumulated data, which allows us to understand which advertising media was most effective. No further data from these ads is transferred to us, and it is not possible for us to identify individual users.
(4) Given the nature of these marketing tools, your browser establishes a direct connection with the Google servers. We have no control over the scope and further use of the data that is collected from Google by using this tool. Therefore, we can only provide the information available to us: By embedding AdWords conversion tracking Google receives the information that you visited the specific part of our website or clicked on one of our ads. If you are registered and logged in to a Google service, Google can allocate the visit to your profile. Even if you are not registered or logged in, Google may record and save your IP address.
(5) You can prevent being tracked in such a way by these means:
a) by configuring your browser software, in particular the prohibition of third party cookies, that will prevent ads from third parties being shown to you;
b) by deactivating the conversion tracking cookies, when you configure your browser in such way that cookies from the domain ‘www.googleadservices.com’ are blocked, https://www.google.de/settings/ads, keeping in mind that these settings will be deleted if you delete your cookies;
c) by deactivating targeted ads from members of the self-regulation campaign ‘about ads’ http://www.aboutads.info/choices, keeping in mind that these settings will be deleted if you delete your cookies;
d) by permanently deactivating AdWords in Firefox, Internet Explorer or Google Chrome browsers at http://www.google.com/settings/ads/plugin. Please note that in this case you might not be able to use all functions of our website properly.
(6) More information on privacy by Google can be found here: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en and https://services.google.com/sitestats/en.html. You can visit the website of the Network Advertising Initiative (NAI) at http://www.networkadvertising.org. Google is subject to the EU-US-Privacy-Shield: https://www.privacyshield.gov/EU-US-Framework.
Besides AdWord Conversion, this website uses Google Remarketing. This is a method which allows us to repeatedly address users. Remarketing may result in seeing our ads on other pages after visiting our website. This is achieved by using browser cookies, that allow Google to track and analyse your visits to different websites. This enables Google to recognize your previous visits to our website. Data collected through remarketing is anonymized.
