III. Information on data processing

Your data processed when you use our website will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of storage no longer applies, the deletion of the data does not conflict with any statutory retention requirements and no other information on individual processing methods is given below.

Server data

For technical reasons, in particular to ensure a secure and stable website, data is transmitted to us or our web space provider through your internet browser. With these so-called server log files, i.a. Type and version of your internet browser, the operating system, the website from which you switched to our website (referrer URL), the website (s) of our website that you visit, the date and time of the respective access and the IP address of the Internet connection from which our website is used.

This data is temporarily stored, but not together with other data from you.

This storage takes place on the legal basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in the improvement, stability, functionality and security of our website.

The data will be deleted after seven days at the latest, provided that no further storage is required for evidence purposes. Otherwise, all or part of the data will be excluded from deletion until an incident has been finally clarified.

Cookies

a) Session cookies

We use cookies on our website. Cookies are small text files or other storage technologies that are stored on your device by the internet browser you use. These cookies process certain information from you to an individual extent, such as your browser or location data or your IP address.

This processing makes our website more user-friendly, more effective and safer, since the processing enables, for example, the reproduction of our website in different languages or the offer of a shopping cart function.

The legal basis for this processing is Art. 6 Para. 1 lit b.) GDPR, provided that these cookies process data for contract initiation or contract processing.

If the processing does not serve to initiate or process the contract, our legitimate interest lies in improving the functionality of our website. The legal basis is then Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f) GDPR.

These session cookies are deleted when you close your Internet browser.

b) Third party cookies

If necessary, our website also uses cookies from partner companies with which we work for the purpose of advertising, analysis or the functionality of our website.

Please refer to the following information for details, in particular regarding the purposes and the legal basis for the processing of such third-party cookies.

c) Elimination possibility

You can prevent or restrict the installation of cookies by setting your internet browser. You can also delete cookies that have already been saved at any time. The steps and measures required for this, however, depend on your specific internet browser. If you have any questions, please use the help function or documentation of your Internet browser or contact its manufacturer or support. With so-called flash cookies, however, processing cannot be prevented via the browser settings. Instead, you have to change the setting of your flash player. The steps and measures required for this also depend on the Flash player you are using. If you have any questions, please use the help function or documentation of your flash player or contact the manufacturer or user support.

If you prevent or restrict the installation of cookies, this can lead to the fact that not all functions of our website can be used to their full extent.

Contact inquiries / contact options

If you contact us using the contact form or email, the data you provide will be used to process your request. The specification of the data is necessary for processing and answering your request - without providing it, we cannot answer your request or at best only to a limited extent.

The legal basis for this processing is Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b) GDPR.

Your data will be deleted, provided that your query has been answered in the end and there are no legal retention requirements to the deletion, such as in the event of a subsequent contract execution.

Social media linking via graphic or text link

We also promote presences on the social networks listed below on our website. The integration takes place via a linked graphic of the respective network. The use of this linked graphic prevents a connection to the respective server of the social network from being automatically established when a website with a social media advertisement is called up in order to display a graphic of the respective network itself. Only by clicking on the corresponding graphic is the user redirected to the service of the respective social network.

After the user has been forwarded, information about the user is collected by the respective network. It cannot be ruled out here that processing of the data collected in this way takes place in the USA.

This is initially data such as IP address, date, time and page visited. If the user is logged into his user account of the respective network during this time, the network operator may be able to assign the collected information of the specific visit of the user to the personal account of the user. If the user interacts via a "Share" button of the respective network, this information can be stored in the user's personal user account and may be published. If the user wants to prevent the collected information from being directly assigned to his user account, he must log out before clicking on the graphic. In addition, it is possible to configure the respective user account accordingly.

The following social networks are integrated into our site by linking:

facebook

Facebook Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Dublin 2, Ireland, a subsidiary of Facebook Inc, 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA.

Matomo (formerly: PIWIK)

We use Matomo (formerly: "PIWIK") on our website. This is an open source software that allows us to analyze the use of our website. Your IP address, the website(s) you visit on our website, the website from which you linked to our website (referrer URL), the time you spend on our website and the frequency with which you visit one of our websites are processed.

The legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) DSGVO. Our legitimate interest lies in the analysis and optimization of our website.

However, we use Matomo with the anonymization function "Automatically Anonymize Visitor IPs". This anonymization function shortens your IP address by two bytes, so that it is impossible to assign it to you or to the Internet connection you are using.

If you do not agree to this processing, you have the option of preventing the storage of the cookie by means of a setting in your Internet browser. You can find more information on this above under "Cookies".

In addition, you have the option of ending the analysis of your usage behavior by way of the so-called opt-out. You can find more information on this above under "Cookies".

YouTube

We use YouTube on our website. This is a video portal of YouTube LLC, 901 Cherry Ave, 94066 San Bruno, CA, USA, hereinafter referred to as "YouTube".

YouTube is a subsidiary of Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, hereinafter referred to as "Google".

We use YouTube in connection with the "Enhanced Privacy Mode" function in order to be able to show you videos. The legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) DSGVO. Our legitimate interest lies in improving the quality of our website. According to YouTube, the "enhanced data protection mode" function means that the data described in more detail below is only transmitted to the YouTube server when you actually start a video.

Without this "Enhanced Privacy Mode", a connection to the YouTube server in the USA is established as soon as you call up one of our Internet pages on which a YouTube video is embedded.

This connection is necessary to be able to display the respective video on our website via your Internet browser. In the course of this, YouTube will at least record and process your IP address, the date and time as well as the website you visited. In addition, a connection to Google's advertising network "DoubleClick" is established.

If you are logged in to YouTube at the same time, YouTube will assign the connection information to your YouTube account. If you wish to prevent this, you must either log out of YouTube before visiting our website or make the appropriate settings in your YouTube user account.

For the purpose of functionality as well as for the analysis of user behavior, YouTube permanently stores cookies on your end device via your Internet browser.

Consent-Management-Platform Contao Consent (hofff/contao-consent)

To make it easier for us to ask for your consent to the use of cookies or other tracking technologies so that we can process your device information and personal data when you visit our website, we use the consent tool “Contao Consent” (hofff/contao-consent). “Contao Consent” gives you the opportunity to accept or decline the processing of your device information and personal data using cookies or other tracking technologies for the purposes listed in the “Contao Consent” tool. Such processing purposes may include the integration of external elements, integration of streamed content, statistical analysis, reach measurement and personalised advertising. You can use “Contao Consent” to grant or refuse your consent for all processing purposes, or to grant or refuse your consent for individual purposes or third-party providers. You can change your settings again later on. The purpose of integrating “Contao Consent” is to allow users of our website to decide whether to allow cookies and similar technologies, and to offer them the opportunity to change settings that they have already made when they continue to use our website. When “Contao Consent” is used, we process personal data as well as information from the devices used. No data is sent to a third-party provider. The information about the settings you have made is stored locally on your device. The legal basis for the processing is Art. 6(1) Sentence 1(c) GDPR in conjunction with Art. 7(1) GDPR, insofar as the processing serves to fulfil the legally standardised obligations to provide evidence for the granting of consent. Otherwise, Art. 6(1) Sentence 1(f) GDPR is the relevant legal basis. Our legitimate interests in this processing lie in the storage of users’ settings and preferences with regard to the use of cookies and other features. A new request for your consent will be made twelve months after you saved your user settings. Your user settings will then be saved again for this period, unless you delete the information about your user settings yourself beforehand in your device’s settings.

You may object to the processing, insofar as processing is based on Art. 6(1) Sentence 1(f) GDPR. Your right of objection exists if you have reasons arising from your particular situation. You can send us your objection via the contact details listed in the “Responsible person” section.
