Cookies are not used to execute programs or to load viruses onto your computer. The main purpose of our own cookies is rather to provide you with a specially tailored offer and to make the use of our services as time-saving as possible.
Most browsers are set by default to accept cookies. However, you can adjust your browser settings to reject cookies or to only store them after prior consent. If you reject cookies, not all of our services may work for you without interruption.

We also use cookies and comparable technologies (e.g. web beacons) from partners for analysis and marketing purposes. This is described in more detail in the following sections.
3.7 Use of cookies and comparable technologies for analysis purposes
In order to improve our website, we use cookies and comparable technologies (e.g. web beacons) for the statistical recording and analysis of general usage behaviour based on access data. We also use analysis services to evaluate the use of our various marketing channels.
Insofar as consent has been obtained, the legal basis for the data processing described in the following section is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR. Otherwise, the legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR, based on our legitimate interest in the needs-based design and continuous optimisation of our website.

3.8.1 Online presence in social media
We maintain online presences in social networks to communicate with customers and interested parties and to inform them about our products and services.
User data is generally processed for market research and advertising purposes. In this way, user profiles can be created based on the interests of the users. For this purpose cookies and other identifiers will be stored on the users’ computers. On the basis of these user profiles, advertisements are then placed, for example, within social networks but also on third-party websites.
When using social networks, personal data of users may be processed outside the European Economic Area. In the event that a provider is certified according to the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield, it has thus undertaken to comply with the data protection standards of the European Union.
The legal basis for data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR, based on our legitimate interest in effective user information and communication. The legal basis for data processing carried out by the social networks on their own responsibility can be found in the data protection information of the respective social network. The following links will also provide you with further information on the respective data processing and the possibilities of objection.
We would like to point out that data protection requests can be made most efficiently to the respective provider of the social network, as only these providers have access to the data and can take appropriate measures directly.

In this case, Google will only display non-individualised advertising.
For more information, please see Google’s Privacy Policy [https://www.google.com/intl/de/policies/privacy/index.html], which also applies to YouTube.
A transfer of the data collected by us will only take place in principle if:
• the disclosure pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR is necessary for the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims and there is no reason to assume that you have an overriding interest worthy of protection in not disclosing your data,
• we are legally obliged to pass on the data in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. c GDPR or
• this is legally permissible and, according to Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b GDPR, is necessary for the processing of contractual relationships with you or for the implementation of pre-contractual measures which are carried out at your request.
Part of the data processing can be carried out by our service providers. In addition to the service providers mentioned in this data protection declaration, this may include in particular computer centres that store our website and databases, IT service providers that maintain our systems, and consulting companies. If we pass on data to our service providers, they may use the data exclusively for the fulfilment of their tasks. The service providers have been carefully selected and commissioned by us. They are contractually bound by our instructions, have suitable technical and organisational measures in place to protect the rights of the persons concerned and are regularly monitored by us.
In addition, data may be passed on in connection with official enquiries, court orders and legal proceedings if this is necessary for legal prosecution or enforcement.
As a matter of principle, we only store personal data for as long as necessary to fulfil contractual or legal obligations for which we have collected the data. Afterwards, we delete the data immediately, unless we need the data until the expiry of the statutory limitation period for evidence purposes for civil law claims or because of statutory retention obligations.
For evidence purposes, we must retain contractual data for a further three years from the end of the year in which the business relationship with you ends. Any claims shall become statute-barred after the statutory standard period of limitation at the earliest at this point in time.
Even after this period, we still have to store your data in part for accounting reasons. We are obliged to do so because of statutory documentation obligations which may arise from the German Commercial Code, the German Fiscal Code, the German Banking Act, the Money Laundering Act and the Securities Trading Act. The periods stipulated there for the retention of documents range from two to ten years.
You have the right to information about the processing of your personal data by us at any time. In this context we will explain the data processing to you and provide you with an overview of the data stored about your person. If data stored by us is incorrect or no longer current, you have the right to have this data corrected. You can also request the deletion of your data. In principle, your data can only be deleted if certain conditions are met / if data is no longer required, if processing is not lawful or in other cases of Art. 17 GDPR. If, exceptionally, deletion is not possible due to other legal provisions, the data will be blocked – if the necessary conditions are met – so that they are only available for this legal purpose. You can also have the processing of your personal data restricted, for example if you doubt the accuracy of the data. Under certain conditions, you also have the right to data transferability, i.e. that we send you a digital copy of the personal data you have provided us with on request.
In order to assert your rights described here, you can contact us at any time using the contact details given above. This also applies if you wish to receive copies of guarantees to prove an adequate level of data protection.
Your inquiries regarding the assertion of data protection rights and our answers to them will be kept for documentation purposes for a period of three years and, in individual cases, for the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims even beyond this period. The legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR, based on our interest in defending against any civil law claims under Art. 82 GDPR, avoiding fines under Art. 83 GDPR and fulfilling our accountability under Art. 5 GDPR.
You have the right to revoke any consent granted to us at any time. As a result, we will no longer continue to process the data based on this consent for the future. Revocation of consent does not affect the lawfulness of the processing that took place on the basis of the consent until revocation.
If we process your data on the basis of legitimate interests, you have the right to object to the processing of your data at any time for reasons arising from your particular situation. If you object to the processing of your data for direct marketing purposes, you have a general right of objection, which will be implemented by us even without giving reasons.
If you would like to exercise your right of revocation or objection, it is sufficient to send an informal message to the contact details given above.
Finally, you have the right to complain to the data protection supervisory authority responsible for us. You may exercise this right before a supervisory authority in the Member State in which you are resident, your place of work or the place of the suspected infringement or any other data protection authority. In Berlin, the seat of Ratepay GmbH, is the competent supervisory authority: Berlin Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information, Friedrichstr. 219, 10969 Berlin.
We maintain current technical measures to ensure data security, in particular to protect your personal data from dangers during data transfers and from third parties gaining knowledge of them. These measures are adapted to the current state of the art. To secure the personal data you provide on our website, we use Transport Layer Security (TLS), which encrypts the information you enter.
