When processing your data, we adhere strictly to the statutory provisions, in particular the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”), and attach great importance to ensuring that your visit to our website is absolutely secure.
Access data (server log files)
When you visit our website, we automatically collect and store access data in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. These are:
-
Browser type and browser version of your PC

As a rule, it is not possible for us to make a personal reference, nor is this intended. The processing of such data is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR to protect our legitimate interest in improving the stability and functionality of our website.
Cookies
We use so-called cookies to make visiting our website attractive and to enable the use of certain functions. These are small text files that are stored on your end device. Cookies cannot execute programs or transfer viruses to your computer system.
Cookies that are required to carry out the electronic communication process or to provide certain functions that you have requested are stored on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR is stored. We have a legitimate interest in the storage of cookies for the technically error-free and optimized provision of our services. Insofar as other cookies (e.g. cookies to analyze your surfing behavior) are stored, these are treated separately in this privacy policy.

§1 Web analysis tools and advertising
1.1 Google Analytics
a) IP anonymization
We have activated the IP anonymization function on this website. As a result, your IP address will be shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or in other signatory states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area before being transmitted to the USA. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. Google will use this information on our behalf for the purpose of evaluating your use of our website, compiling reports on website activity and providing us with other services relating to website activity and internet usage. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.
b) Demographic characteristics in Google Analytics
Our website uses the “demographic features” function of Google Analytics. This allows reports to be created that contain information on the age, gender and interests of the site visitors. This data comes from interest-based advertising from Google and from visitor data from third-party providers. This data cannot be assigned to a specific person. You can deactivate this function at any time via the ad settings in your Google account or generally prohibit the collection of your data by Google Analytics – as described in the section “Objection to data collection”.
c) Order processing
We have concluded a contract with Google for commissioned data processing and fully implement the strict requirements of the German data protection authorities when using Google Analytics.
d) Storage period
Data stored by Google at user and event level that is linked to cookies, user IDs or advertising IDs (e.g. DoubleClick cookies, Android advertising ID) is anonymized or deleted after 14 months. You can find details on this under the following link: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/ 7667196?hl=en
e)
Objection to data collection
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.
You can also prevent Google from collecting the data generated by the cookies and relating to your use of the website (including your IP address) and from processing this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser add-on available under the following link to deactivate Google Analytics: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de. If you delete the cookies on your computer, you must set the opt-out cookie again.
Further information on data protection can be found in Google’s privacy policy:
https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de&gl=de
1.2 Google Tag Manager
Our website uses the Google Tag Manager from the provider Google. Google Tag Manager is a solution that allows marketers to manage website tags via a single interface. The tool that implements the tags is a cookie-less domain and does not store any personal data. The tool triggers other tags, which in turn may collect data. Google Tag Manager does not access this data. If a deactivation has been made at domain or cookie level, this remains in place for all tracking tags that are implemented with Google Tag Manager.
1.3 Google Ads and Google Conversion Tracking
Our website uses Google Ads (formerly Google AdWords). Google Ads is an online advertising program from the provider Google.
Google Ads enables us to draw attention to our offers with the help of advertising material on external websites and to determine how successful individual advertising measures are. This helps us to show you advertising that is of interest to you, to make our website more interesting for you and to achieve a fair calculation of advertising costs.
As part of Google Ads, we use so-called conversion tracking. The advertising material is delivered by Google via so-called “AdServers”. For this purpose, we use so-called ad server cookies, through which certain parameters for measuring success, such as the display of ads or clicks by users, can be measured. If you click on an ad placed by Google, a cookie is set for conversion tracking. Cookies are small text files that the Internet browser stores on the user’s computer. These cookies lose their validity after 30 days and are not used to personally identify users. These cookies enable Google to recognize your web browser. If you visit certain pages of our website when the cookie has not yet expired, Google and we can recognize that you have clicked on the specific ad and have been redirected to this page.
Each Google Ads customer receives a different cookie. The cookies can therefore not be tracked via the websites of Ads customers. The following information is usually stored as analysis values for the cookie: unique cookie ID, number of ad impressions per placement (frequency), last impression (relevant for post-view conversions), opt-out information (marking that the user no longer wishes to be addressed). The information collected using the conversion cookie is used to generate conversion statistics for Ads customers who have opted for conversion tracking. Ads customers find out the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a page with a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not receive any information with which users can be personally identified. If you do not wish to participate in tracking, you can object to this use by easily deactivating the Google Conversion Tracking cookie via your Internet browser under user settings. They will then not be included in the conversion tracking statistics.
The summary of the data collected in your Google account is based exclusively on your consent, which you can give or revoke at Google (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR). For data collection processes that are not merged into your Google account (e.g. because you do not have a Google account or have objected to the merging), the collection of data is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The legitimate interest arises from the fact that we have an interest in the anonymized analysis of visitors to our website for advertising purposes in order to optimize both our website and our advertising.
Further information and the data protection provisions can be found in Google’s privacy policy at:
https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads?hl=de.
1.4 Google Remarketing
Our website uses the functions of Google Remarketing in conjunction with the cross-device functions of Google Ads and Google DoubleClick from the provider Google.
Google Remarketing analyzes your user behavior on our website in order to classify you into certain advertising target groups and then to display suitable advertising messages to you when you visit other online offers (remarketing or retargeting).
The advertising target groups created with Google Remarketing can be linked to Google’s cross-device functions so that interest-based, personalized advertising messages that have been adapted to you depending on your previous usage and surfing behavior on one device are also displayed on another of your devices. If you have given your consent, Google will link your web and app browsing history to your Google account for this purpose. In this way, the same personalized advertising messages can be displayed on every device on which you log in with your Google account.
To support this function, Google Analytics collects Google-authenticated user IDs that are temporarily linked to our Google Analytics data in order to define and create target groups for cross-device advertising.
You can permanently object to cross-device remarketing/targeting by deactivating personalized advertising in your Google account; follow this link: https://www.google.com/settings/ads/onweb/.
The summary of the data collected in your Google account is based exclusively on your consent, which you can give or revoke at Google (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR). For data collection processes that are not merged into your Google account (e.g. because you do not have a Google account or have objected to the merging), the collection of data is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The legitimate interest arises from the fact that we have an interest in the anonymized analysis of visitors to our website for advertising purposes.
Further information and the data protection provisions can be found in Google’s privacy policy at: https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads?hl=de.
1.5 Google AdSense
Our website uses Google AdSense, a service for integrating advertisements from the provider Google.
Google AdSense uses so-called “cookies”, i.e. text files that are stored on your computer and used to display advertisements on our website that match our content and your interests. Google AdSense also uses so-called web beacons (invisible graphics). These web beacons can be used to statistically analyze information about visitor traffic on our pages for online marketing purposes.
The information generated by cookies and web beacons about the use of our website (including your IP address) and the delivery of advertising formats is transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. This information may be passed on to third parties by Google. However, Google will not merge your IP address with other data that Google may have stored about you.
If you have given your consent, the storage and processing of personal data is based on this consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. We also have a legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR in the analysis of user behavior in order to optimize both our website and our advertising.
The summary of the data collected in your Google account is based exclusively on your consent, which you can give or revoke at Google (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR).
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. By using this website, you consent to the processing of data about you by Google in the manner and for the purposes set out above.
1.6 Google Fonts
We use “Google Fonts” (formerly “Google Web Fonts”), a service provided by Google, on our website.
Google Fonts enables us to use external fonts, so-called Google Fonts. For this purpose, the required Google Font is loaded into the browser cache by your web browser when you access our website. This is necessary so that your browser can display a visually improved presentation of our texts. If your browser does not support this function, a standard font will be used by your computer for display.
The integration of Google Fonts takes place via a server call, usually to a Google server in the USA. This tells the server which of our Internet pages you have visited. Google also stores the IP address of your device’s browser. We have no influence on the scope and further use of the data collected and processed by Google through the use of Google Fonts.
We use Google Fonts for optimization purposes, in particular to improve the use of our website for you and to make its design more user-friendly. This is our legitimate interest in the processing of the above data by the third-party provider. The legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. f GDPR.

As the data subject, you have the following rights vis-à-vis the controller with regard to the personal data concerning you in accordance with the statutory provisions:

You have the right to request the deletion of your personal data in accordance with Art. 17 GDPR if one of the following reasons applies:
a) Your personal data are no longer necessary for the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed;
b) You withdraw your consent on which the processing is based according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a or Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a GDPR and there is no other legal basis for the processing;
c) In accordance with Art. 21 para. 1 GDPR and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing, or you object to the processing pursuant to Art. 21 (1) GDPR. 2 GDPR to object to the processing;
d) The personal data was processed unlawfully;
e) The deletion of personal data is necessary to fulfill a legal obligation under Union law or the law of the Member State to which we are subject;
f) The personal data have been collected in relation to the offer of information society services referred to in Art. 8 para. 1 GDPR collected;
However, this right does not apply if the processing is necessary:

c) for reasons of public interest in the area of public health pursuant to Art. 9 para. 2 lit. h and i and Art. 9 para. 3 GDPR;
d) for archiving purposes in the public interest, scientific or historical research purposes or statistical purposes in accordance with Art. 89 para. 1 GDPR, insofar as the data subject’s right is likely to render impossible or seriously impair the achievement of the objectives of that processing, or for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims.
If we have made your personal data public and we are obliged to delete it in accordance with the above, we will take appropriate measures, including technical measures, taking into account the available technology and the implementation costs, to inform data controllers who process the personal data that you, as the data subject, have requested them to delete all links to your personal data or copies or replications of this personal data.
3.5 Recht auf Einschränkung der Verarbeitung
You have the right to request the restriction of processing (blocking) of your personal data in accordance with Art. 18 GDPR. You can contact us at any time at the address given in the legal notice. The right to restriction of processing exists in the following cases:
a) If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we usually need time to check this. For the duration of the review, you have the right to request that the processing of your personal data be restricted.
b) If the processing of your personal data was/is carried out unlawfully, you can request the restriction of data processing instead of erasure.
c) If we no longer need your personal data, but you need it for the exercise, defense or assertion of legal claims, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of deletion.
d) If you have lodged an objection pursuant to Art. 21 para. 1 GDPR, a balance must be struck between your interests and ours. As long as it has not yet been determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to demand the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, this data – apart from its storage – may only be processed with your consent or for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or of a Member State.
3.6 Recht auf Unterrichtung
If you have asserted the right to rectification, erasure or restriction of processing against us, we are obliged to notify all recipients to whom your personal data has been disclosed of this rectification or erasure of the data or restriction of processing, unless this proves impossible or involves a disproportionate effort. In accordance with Art. 19 GDPR, you have the right to be informed about these recipients upon request.
3.7 Recht, nicht einer ausschließlich auf einer automatisierten Verarbeitung – einschließlich Profiling – beruhenden Entscheidung unterworfen zu werden
In accordance with Art. 22 GDPR, you have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing – including profiling – which produces legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affects you.
This does not apply if the decision
a) is necessary for the conclusion or performance of a contract between you and us,
b) is authorized by Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject and which also lays down suitable measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms and legitimate interests; or
c) with your express consent.
However, the decisions in the cases mentioned in (a) to (c) may not be based on special categories of personal data pursuant to Art. 9 para. 1 GDPR, unless Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a or lit. g applies and appropriate measures have been taken to protect the rights and freedoms as well as your legitimate interests.
In the cases referred to in (a) and (c), we will take reasonable steps to safeguard your rights and freedoms and your legitimate interests, including at least the right to obtain the intervention of a person on the part of the controller, to express your point of view and to contest the decision.
3.8 Right to data portability
If the processing is based on your consent in accordance with. Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR or Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a GDPR or on a contract pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR and is carried out by automated means, you have the right, pursuant to Art. 20 GDPR, to receive your personal data that you have provided to us in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format and to transmit those data to another controller or to request transmission to another controller, where technically feasible.
3.9 Right of objection
Insofar as we base the processing of your personal data on the balancing of interests pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR, you have the right to object at any time, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to the processing of your personal data; this also applies to profiling based on this provision. The respective legal basis on which processing is based can be found in this privacy policy. If you object, we will no longer process your personal data concerned unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms or the processing serves the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims (objection pursuant to Art. 21 (1) GDPR).
Where your personal data are processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time to processing of personal data concerning you for such marketing, which includes profiling to the extent that it is related to such direct marketing. If you object, your personal data will no longer be used for the purpose of direct marketing (objection pursuant to Art. 21 (2) GDPR).
Notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC, you have the option of exercising your right to object in connection with the use of information society services by means of automated procedures using technical specifications.
