The definitions are based on Regulation (EU) 679/2016 on the protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data, on the free movement of such data, and repealing Directive 95/46/EC (hereinafter referred to as the “General Data Protection Regulation” or the “GDPR”). In particular, the definitions in Art. 4 and Art. 9 GDPR apply. For your information, we have summarised the essentially relevant definitions below in section X. once again.
We only collect and use our users’ personal data insofar as this is necessary for the production and provision of our services and for the provision of our web or online offerings (including mobile apps).
Insofar as personal data is processed on the basis of the data subject’s consent, Art. 6 para. 1 (a) GDPR is the legal basis for processing.
If processing is necessary to safeguard our company’s legitimate interests or those of a third party, and if the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not outweigh the first-mentioned interest, Art. 6 para. 1 (f) GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing.
4. Processing for the enforcement of claims / fulfilment of legal obligations
5. Obtaining consent / right of revocation
Right of revocation: Please note that a consent once given can be revoked at any time with effect for the future – in full or in part. The legality of processing based on consent until revocation remains unaffected by this. Please address any revocation to the contact details given in section II (responsible body or data protection officer).
6. Potential recipients of personal data
In order to provide our web and/or online services, we sometimes use third party service providers who act on our behalf and in accordance with our instructions (contract processors). These service providers may receive personal data or come into contact with personal data within the scope of the provision of services and represent third parties or recipients within the framework of the GDPR.
Insofar as a transfer of personal data to third parties and/or recipients takes place outside the processing of an order, we ensure that this takes place exclusively in accordance with the requirements of the GDPR and only if there is a corresponding legal basis (e.g. Art. 6 para. 4 GDPR, for the rest see section III.3).
7. Processing of data in so-called third countries
Your personal data is processed within the EU or the European Economic Area (“EEA”).
Only in exceptional cases (e.g. in connection with the use of service providers for the provision of web analysis services) can information be transferred to so-called “third countries”. “Third countries” are countries outside the European Union and/or the Agreement on the European Economic Area where an adequate level of data protection in accordance with EU standards cannot be readily assumed.
If the transmitted information also includes personal data, before such transmission we ensure that an appropriate level of data protection is guaranteed in the respective third country or with the respective recipient in the third country, or that you have given your consent to this, or that another reason for authorisation (e.g. Art. 49 GDPR) exists. An adequate level of data protection can result from a so-called “adequacy decision” of the European Commission or can be ensured by using the so-called “EU standard contractual clauses”. In the case of recipients in the USA, compliance with the principles of the so-called “EU-US Privacy Shield” can also ensure an adequate level of data protection. If transmission should take place to so-called third countries, we will be pleased to provide you with further information on compliance with an appropriate level of data protection upon request. Please contact our data protection officer. Contact details can be found at the beginning of this data protection information. Information about the participants in the EU-US Privacy Shield can also be found here www.privacyshield.gov/list.
8. Data deletion and duration of storage
Data subjects’ personal data will be deleted insofar as the data is no longer required for the respective processing purposes. Instead of deletion, the data may be stored under restriction of processing, if this is provided for by the European or national legislator of EU regulations, laws or other regulations to which our company is subject, in particular e.g.
– to fulfil legal storage obligations (e.g. pursuant to the Fiscal Code (AO) or the Commercial Code (HGB), currently between 6 to 10 years), and/or
The GDPR grants certain rights to the person who is the subject of the processing of personal data (so-called rights of data subjects, in particular Art. 12 to Art. 22 GDPR). The individual rights of the data subjects are explained in more detail in section XI. If you wish to exercise one or more of these rights, you can contact us at any time. Please use the contact options listed under section II.
IV. Data processing for the provision of the website / collection of log files
Every time you visit our website, our system automatically collects data and information from the computer system of the accessing computer. The following data is collected (hereinafter “log data”):
– information regarding the used browser type and version
– the user’s internet service provider
– websites accessed by the user’s system via our website
Log data, in particular the IP address, is collected and processed for the purpose of providing the contents of our website to the user, i.e. for the purpose of communication between the user and our web or online offering. The IP address must be temporarily stored for the duration of the respective communication process. This is required to address the communication traffic between the user and our web and/or online offering or is required to use our web and/or online offering. The legal basis for this data processing – i.e. for the duration of your visit to the website – is Art. 6 para. 1 (b) GDPR or § 96 of the Telecommunications law (TKG) or § 15 para. 1 of the Telemedia law (TMG).
Any processing and storage of the IP address in log files beyond the communication process is carried out for the purpose of ensuring the functionality of our web and online offerings, for the purpose of optimising these offerings and for ensuring the security of our information technology systems. The legal basis for storing the IP address for these purposes beyond the communication process is Art. 6 para. 1 (f) GDPR (protection of legitimate interests) or § 109 TKG.
3. Objection and cancellation options
The collection of log data for the provision of the website including its storage in log files within the aforementioned limits is absolutely necessary for the operation of the website. There is therefore no possibility for the user to object. The opposite applies to the processing of log data for analysis purposes, this depends on section VII., depending on the web analysis tools used and the type of data analysis (personal/anonymous/pseudonymous).
V. – currently not occupied –
Our website uses cookies. Cookies are text files that are stored in the internet browser or by the internet browser on the user’s computer system. Cookies do not contain any programmes and cannot place malicious code on your computer. If a user visits a website, a cookie may be stored in the user’s operating system. This cookie contains a distinctive character string that enables unique identification of the browser when the website is accessed again. However, depending on the type of cookie and the possibility of assigning a cookie to an IP address, in principle it is possible to establish a personal reference to the user. We do not make such an assignment or immediately make the IP address anonymous in order to exclude such an assignment (see in detail under section VII). In the case of cookies that allow personal reference, we obtain your consent to such use via a so-called cookie banner (see section VI.3 below).
(i) We use technically necessary cookiesto make our web and/or online offering more user-friendly. The following data is stored in technically necessary cookies and transmitted to our systems, for example:
– information on the terminal device / PC used and its settings
– items in a shopping cart
(ii) Analysis cookies (also known as session cookies) are used by us to analyse the surfing behaviour of users on our web and/or online offerings for the purpose of advertising, market research or for the demand-oriented design of our offers. The following data about analysis cookies is collected and transmitted to our systems:
(iii) Third-party cookies are cookies that are not provided by our web servers but by third parties. These include, for example, the integration of the “Like” button. When you click on it, Facebook places a “custom” cookie in the user’s browser. Third-party cookies can never be searched for and/or evaluated by us.
Third parties are solely responsible for the use of such cookies – we have no control over their use and processing. You can prevent third-party cookies from being set by the means described in sections VI.3. and VII.
– applying language settings
– repeated access to internet sites
– status check of the setting to accept cookies
The user data collected by technically necessary cookies is not used to create user profiles. The legal basis for the use of technically necessary cookies is Art. 6 para. 1 (b) GDPR, insofar as it is possible to establish a personal reference to the user and the use is necessary for the purpose of providing our web and/or online offerings in the sense of contract fulfilment, otherwise Art. 6 para. 1 (f) GDPR, since the use is also made to safeguard legitimate interests for the purpose of providing web and/or online offerings.
The use of analysis cookies is for the purpose of improving the quality of our website and its contents. Using analysis cookies, we learn how the site is used and can constantly optimise our service (see above). The legal basis for the processing of personal data using analysis cookies is, insofar as it is possible to establish a personal reference to the user, in the case of the user’s consent Art. 6 para. 1 (a) GDPR. If analysis cookies are used to create pseudonymous evaluations, the legal basis is Art. 6 Para. 1 (f) GDPR (protection of legitimate interests) or § 15 Para. 3 of the Telemedia law (TMG).
Cookies are stored on the user’s respective end device (smart device/PC) and transmitted from there to our websites. A distinction is made between so-called permanent cookies and session cookies. Session cookies are stored for the duration of a browser session and deleted when the browser is closed. Permanent cookies are not deleted when the respective browser session is closed, but are stored on the user’s terminal device for a longer period of time.
When accessing our website, users are informed by an information banner on the use of cookies and are referred to this data protection declaration. The banner also collects the user’s consent to the processing of personal data used in this context.
As a user, you have full control over the use and storage of cookies. By changing the settings in your internet browser, you can disable or restrict the transmission of cookies. You can also delete cookies that have already been saved at any time. This can also be done automatically. If cookies are deactivated for our website, it may no longer be possible to use all of the website’s features. Further information about the use of cookies can be found at http://www.meine-cookies.org/ or youronlinechoices.com.
In order to optimise our website and to adjust to our users’ changing habits and technical conditions, we use so-called web analysis tools. For example, we measure which elements are visited by users, whether the information they are looking for is easy to find, and so on. This information can only be interpreted and made meaningful when a larger group of users is considered. For this purpose, the data collected is aggregated, i.e. combined into larger units.
Within our web and online offerings we carry out the following analyses and use the following web analysis tools:
Log data is only used for analysis purposes on an anonymous basis – in particular, it is not linked to the user’s personal or related data and/or to an IP address or a cookie. Such an analysis of log data is therefore not subject to the data protection regulations of the GDPR.
2. Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager
For the analysis of website usage we use the web analysis service “Google Analytics” from Google (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; “Google”). Google Analytics uses cookies, which enable an analysis of the use of the website by our customers on a pseudonymous and/or anonymous basis.
– You can also prevent collection by Google Analytics by clicking on the following link. This sets an opt-out cookie which prevents the future collection of your data by Google Analytics when visiting this website: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de
– You can also prevent disclosure to Google and processing by Google of the data generated by the Google Analytics cookie about your use of the website (incl. your IP address), by downloading and installing the browser plugin available via the following link: (http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de)
We use Google Analytics to evaluate data from AdWords and the double-click cookie for statistical purposes. Should you object to this, you can disable it through the Ads Preferences Manager (http://www.google.com/settings/ads/onweb/?hl=de).
We partly use the online advertising programme Google AdWords on our websites and in this context conversion tracking (visit action evaluation). Google Conversion Tracking is an analytical service provided by Google Inc. (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; “Google“). Once this is the case, a conversion tracking cookie will be placed on your computer when you click on an ad placed by Google. These cookies have a limited validity period, they contain no personal data and are therefore not used for personal identification. If you visit certain pages within our website and the cookie has not yet expired, we and Google can recognise that you have clicked the advert and have been directed to that page. Each Google AdWords customer has a different cookie. There is therefore no way for cookies to be tracked through advertisers’ websites.
The information collected using the conversion cookie is used to generate conversion statistics. This tells us the total number of users who clicked on one of our ads and were redirected to a page with a conversion tracking tag. We do not obtain any information that can be used to identify users personally. You can prevent cookies from being stored by selecting the appropriate technical settings in your browser software, see section VI.3, above.
You can also disable advertising that is personalised for you in Google’s advertising preferences. You can find instructions on how to do this at https://support.google.com/ads/answer/2662922?hl=de In addition, you can disable the use of third-party cookies by calling up the Network Advertising Initiative’s opt-out page at https://www.networkadvertising.org/choices/ and implementing the further information about the opt-out mentioned there. For more information and Google’s privacy policy, please visit https://www.google.de/policies/privacy/.
On our website we use plugins of the AddThis service, which is operated by AddThis, LLC, 1595 Spring Hill Rd, Suite 300, Vienna, VA 22182, USA (“AddThis”). AddThis provides tools for creating and designing websites (www.addthis.com), that make it easier for website visitors to share the current page with other internet users by e-mail or on social networks. You can recognise these plugins by the “Facebook”, “Twitter” “Pinterest”, “E-Mail” and “g+” buttons integrated into parts of our website.
AddThis also provides tools for website operators to help analyse and improve the use of their own website or to enable a direct user approach. AddThis also uses cookies and web beacons (small graphics, “tracking pixels” that enable log file recording and analysis). If you use an AddThis plugin, your internet browser establishes a direct connection to AddThis’s servers and, if necessary, the selected social network. The data generated (such as time of use or browser language) is transferred to AddThis and processed there. When you send content from our website to social networks, a link can be established between your visit to the website and your user profile on the relevant social network. For more information about data processing and privacy by AddThis, see http://www.addthis.com/privacy/privacy-policy.
VIII. Newsletter / advertising / social media plugins
On our web and online offerings we also offer the possibility of registering for our newsletters; we also use advertising tools and social media plug-ins. In detail:
1. Newsletter / advertising and marketing / Customer surveys
If you would like to receive our newsletter, we need a valid email address from you. In order to be able to check whether you are the owner of the given email address or whether the owner agrees to receive the newsletter or advertising, we will send an automated email to the given email address (so-called double opt-in) after the first registration step.
