Definition of personal data The term personal data is defined in the German Federal Data Protection Act. According to this, these are individual details about personal or factual circumstances of a specific or identifiable natural person. This includes, for example, your real name, your address, your telephone number or your date of birth. In the basic EU data protection regulation (DSGVO), personal data are defined as follows: All information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (hereinafter "data subject"); an identifiable natural person is one who can be identified directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person. Legal basis for the collection of personal data: Insofar as we obtain your consent for the processing of personal data, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR serves as the legal basis for the processing of your personal data. When processing your personal data to fulfil a contract between you and d&b audiotechnik, Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b GDPR serves as the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations that are necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures. Insofar as the processing of personal data is required to fulfil a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR serves as the legal basis. If processing is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest of our company or 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 lit. f GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing. Data erasure and storage time The personal data of the person concerned will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of storage ceases to apply. Furthermore, data may be stored if this has been provided for by the European or national legislator in EU regulations, laws or other provisions to which the person responsible is subject.

This means that after you have entered your e-mail address, we will send you a confirmation e-mail to the e-mail address provided, in which we ask you to confirm that you wish to receive the newsletter. If you do not confirm this within 30 days, your registration will be deleted.

For the analysis Pardot links the data for the registration of the e-mail newsletter and the information from the "web-beacons" with your e-mail address and an individual ID. The evaluations serve the purpose to recognize the reading habits of our users and to send content according to their interests.

In accordance with the agreement between Google and the Hamburg Representative for Data Protection and Freedom of Information, Google Analytics may be used in accordance with data protection regulations and without objection under certain conditions. In particular, we would like to point out that on this website Google Analytics has been extended to include the IP masking function "_gat._anonymizeIp" in order to guarantee anonymous recording of IP addresses via the Google Tag Manager. Please also note the following information on the use of Google Analytics: Google Analytics uses cookies which are stored on your computer and which enable an analysis of your use of the website. The information generated by the cookie about your use of the website will generally be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States. However, by activating IP anonymisation on this website, your IP address will be shortened by Google in advance within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA where it will be shortened. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of the website, compiling reports on website activity and providing other services to website operators relating to website activity and internet usage. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics is not combined with other data from Google. Once remarketing and promotional reporting features are enabled in Analytics, Analytics collects demographic and interest data from the following sources: DoubleClick cookie: Analytics collects all demographic and interest information made available by the cookie when you use the web browser. Android Advertising ID: When the analytics tracking code is implemented in an Android app, the device's advertising ID is collected. Analytics generates an identifier based on the ID. This identifier contains information about demographics and interests resulting from user app activity and is used to enhance the attractiveness of our app. iOS Identifier for Advertisers (IDFA): When the analytics tracking code is implemented in an iOSApp, the device's IDFA is captured. In Analytics, an identifier is generated based on the IDFA. This identifier contains information about demographics and interests resulting from user app activity and is used to enhance the attractiveness of our app. Analytics cannot collect demographic and interest data if the DoubleClick cookie or device advertising ID is not present or no activity profile is included. You may refuse the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser, however please note that if you do this you may not be able to use the full functionality of this website.

Google Optimize Our website uses Google Optimize, a Web analytics and optimization service provided by Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. Google Optimize enables us to present new functions and content on our website to just a percentage of our users and record the changing use of our website. In turn, this allows us to evaluate which version best reflects the preferences and expectations of visitors to our website. Google Optimize uses cookies to enable the optimization and analysis of user behavior on our website. The information generated by the cookies about your use of this website is generally transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. However, we have activated IP anonymization for Google Optimize, meaning that your IP address will be truncated by Google within member states of the European Union or other signatories to the Agreement on the European Economic Area (EEA) prior to transfer. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transferred to a Google server in the USA and truncated there. Google will use this information in order to evaluate your use of our website and compile reports about optimization testing and the associated website activities. The legal basis for the storage of Google Optimize cookies is Article 6 (1f) of the GDPR. As the website operator, we have a legitimate interest in analyzing user behavior in order to optimize our website. Google Signals This website uses the function "Google Signals". The Google Signals advertising feature is designed to provide additional information about users of the site who use different devices. Google uses data from users who have signed in to their Google Account and enabled the "personalized advertising" option. This information will be used to provide aggregate and anonymous statistics about the behavior of users of this site across multiple devices. No user IDs are assigned, the reports do not allow us to draw any conclusions about the identity of individual visitors. If visitors to this website are logged into their Google account, Google may be able to identify these visitors. In addition, Google may use the user data for the display of personalised advertising if the user has previously consented to this function. If you do not wish this to happen, you can deactivate this function at any time in the Google settings (https://adssettings.google.com). Alternatively, you can make use of the extensive opt-out option of the advertising network initiative (http://optout.networkadvertising.org/?c=1). Double Click AdExchange We use Doubleclick Ad Exchange, a web ad service of Google Inc, USA (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA, "Google"), advertising (text ads, banners etc.) on our website. Cookies may be stored in your browser. The information stored there can be recorded, collected and evaluated by Google Inc. or third parties. In addition, Doubleclick Ad Exchange also uses "web beacons", small invisible graphics, through which visitor traffic on the website can be recorded, collected and evaluated, to collect information. The information collected in this way about your use of this website is transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. Google uses it to analyze your usage behavior so that it can serve targeted ads via Doubleclick Ad Exchange. Google may also transfer this information to third parties if this is required by law or if third parties process this data on behalf of Google. If IP addresses are transmitted and stored, this only happens to combat and filter spam/fraud. However, this data is only accessible to the anti-abuse teams. Google does not associate the IP address with other data stored by Google. If you do not want this, you can prevent the storage of the cookies required for these technologies, e.g. via the settings of your browser. In this case, your visit is not included in the user statistics. You also have the option of selecting the types of Google ads or disabling interest-based ads on Google using the ad settings. Alternatively, you can disable the use of cookies by third parties by using the Network Advertising Initiative's disabling tool. However, we and Google continue to receive statistical information on how many users visited this page and when. If you do not want to be included in these statistics either, you can prevent this by using additional programs for your browser (e.g. with the add-on Ghostery). Remarketing or "similar target group" function of Google Inc. This website uses Google's Google AdWords remarketing or "similar target group" function. This feature is designed to provide targeted product recommendations and interest-based advertising to users of our site and other users with similar interests based on their online user behavior when they visit other sites on the Google Display Network or perform a Google search. When our advertisements are displayed on these sites, we receive information about how often our ad was viewed, how many clicks and visits were generated by a particular ad, and what content was viewed when you clicked on an ad on our site. The basis of this interest-based advertising is an analysis of online user behavior. Google uses cookies to perform this analysis. Cookies are used to record visits to the website by means of a unique identification of a web browser on a particular computer and not to identify a person. All data is stored by using a pseudonym, so that a conclusion on the person of the user and thus a personal identification is not easily possible. Further information on Google Remarketing or "Similar target groups" can be found at: https://support.google.com/google-ads/answer/2676774?hl=en. You can view Google's privacy policy at: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en. Google AdWords In order to draw attention to our services, we place Google AdWords ads and use Google Conversion Tracking and the Google Tag Manager for the purpose of personalised, interest- and location-based online advertising. The option to anonymize IP addresses is controlled by the Google Tag Manager via an internal setting that is not visible in the source of this page. This internal setting is set so that the anonymisation of the IP addresses required by the German Federal Data Protection Act is achieved. Ads appear after searches on Google Network web pages. We have the possibility to combine our ads with certain search terms. Cookies enable us to serve ads based on a user's previous visits to our website. When you click on an ad, Google sets a cookie on your computer. Further information on the cookie technology used can also be found in Google's notes on website statistics and in the privacy policy. With the help of this technology, Google and we as customers receive information that a user has clicked on an ad and has been redirected to our websites. The information obtained in this way is used exclusively for statistical evaluation for ad optimization. We do not receive any information that personally identifies visitors. The statistics provided to us by Google include the total number of users who clicked on one of our ads and, if applicable, whether they were forwarded to a page of our website with a conversion tag. On the basis of these statistics we can trace the search terms for which our advertisement was clicked particularly often and which advertisements lead to contact by the user via the contact form. The information obtained in this way is transferred to our CRM system via the Google ClickID via an interface (Web to Lead). If you do not wish to do so, you can prevent the storage of the cookies required for these technologies, for example via the settings of your browser. In this case, your visit is not included in the user statistics. You can also use the ad settings to select Google ad types or disable interest-based ads on Google. Alternatively, you can disable the use of cookies by third parties by using the Network Advertising Initiative's disabling tool. However, we and Google continue to receive statistical information on how many users visited this page and when. If you do not want to be included in these statistics either, you can prevent this by using additional programs for your browser (for example, the Ghostery add-on). Google Data Studio We use Data Studio, a service of Google Inc., USA (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA, "Google") on our website. Data Studio uses personally identifiable information provided through the other Google services mentioned here and used by us to help us create reports, graphs, and charts, and to provide us with an opportunity to collaborate with them. Google Tag Manager For reasons of transparency, we would like to point out that we use the Google Tag Manager. The Google Tag Manager itself does not collect any personally identifiable information. The Tag Manager makes it easier for us to integrate and manage our tags. Tags are small pieces of code used, among other things, to measure traffic and visitor behavior, capture the impact of online advertising and social channels, set up remarketing and targeting, and test and optimize websites. If you have made a opt-out, the Google Tag Manager will take that opt-out into account. For more information about the Google Tag Manager, click here: www.google.com/intl/de/tagmanager/use-policy.html Bing Ads In order to draw attention to our services, we place Bing Ads ads (a service of Microsoft Corporation, One Microsoft Way, Redmond, WA 98052-6399, USA). These ads appear in the Bing, Yahoo! and MSN search engines after searches are made through the Yahoo! bing network. This also gives us the opportunity to combine our ads with specific search terms, giving us a presence on all major search engines. Bing Ads also uses cookies to analyze user behavior. When clicking on an ad or visiting our website, Bing Ads places a cookie on the user's computer. This information is used in order to be able to target the visitor in search query. For more information, please see Microsoft's Privacy Statement and the Microsoft Privacy and Security Policy. In addition, we use Bing Ads conversion tracking to display interest-based advertising for Bing Ads. This requires an analysis of user behavior. Bing only provides us with information about clicks on ads and users being redirected to our website. We use the information obtained in this way exclusively for statistical evaluation for ad optimization. We are not able to identify the visitor through the collected data. The statistics provided to us by Bing include the total number of users who clicked on one of our ads. In addition, we also receive information about whether these visitors have been redirected to a page of our website that has been tagged with a conversion tag. These statistics enable us to track which search terms have led to a particularly high number of clicks on our ads and which ads lead to users contacting us via the contact form. The purpose of Bing Ads Conversion Tracking is to display interest-related advertisements, to make our website more interesting for you and to achieve a more economic assessment of our advertising costs. You can prevent the Bing cookie from being set by making appropriate settings in our cookie content management tool. Information on the duration of storage and other data protection issues can be found at https://privacy.microsoft.com/de-de/privacystatement.
