III. General information about data processing

1. Scope of processing of personal data

In principle, we only process our users' personal data to the extent necessary to provide a functional website and our content and services. The processing of personal data of our users is regularly carried out only with the user's consent. An exception applies in cases where prior consent cannot be obtained for factual reasons and the processing of the data is permitted by law.

2. Legal basis for processing personal data

Insofar as we obtain consent from the data subject for processing personal data, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) serves as the legal basis.

When processing personal data that is necessary to fulfill a contract to which the data subject is a party, Article 6 (1) (b) GDPR serves as the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations that are necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures.

Insofar as processing of personal data is necessary to fulfill a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR serves as the legal basis.

In the event that vital interests of the data subject or another natural person require the processing of personal data, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. d GDPR serves as the legal basis.

If processing is necessary to protect 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, Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing.

3. Data deletion and storage period

The personal data of the data subject will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of storage no longer applies. Storage may also take place if this has been provided for by European or national legislators in EU regulations, laws or other regulations to which the person responsible is subject. The data will also be blocked or deleted when a storage period prescribed by the above standards expires, unless there is a need to continue storing the data for the conclusion or performance of a contract.

IV. Provision of the website and creation of log files

1. Description and scope of data processing

Each time you visit our website, our system automatically collects data and information from the computer system of the calling computer.

The following data is collected here:

  • Information about the browser type and version used
  • The user's operating system
  • The user's Internet service provider
  • The user's IP address
  • date and time of access
  • Websites from which the user's system accesses our website
  • Websites that are accessed by the user's system via our website

The log files contain IP addresses or other data that make it possible to assign them to a user. This could be the case, for example, if the link to the website from which the user accesses the website, or the link to the website to which the user switches, contains personal data.

The data is also stored in our system's log files. This data is not stored together with other personal data of the user.

2. Legal basis for data processing

The legal basis for the temporary storage of data and log files is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO.

3. Purpose of data processing

The temporary storage of the IP address by the system is necessary to enable the website to be delivered to the user's computer. To do this, the user's IP address must be stored for the duration of the session.

They are stored in log files to ensure the functionality of the website. We also use the data to optimize the website and ensure the security of our information technology systems. There is no evaluation of the data for marketing purposes in this context.

These purposes also include our legitimate interest in data processing in accordance with Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR.

4. Storage period

The data is deleted as soon as it is no longer required to achieve the purpose for which it was collected. If the data is collected to provide the website, this is the case when the respective session has ended.

If the data is stored in log files, this is the case after thirty days at the latest. No further storage takes place.

5. Objection and removal option

The collection of data to provide the website and the storage of data in log files is absolutely necessary for the operation of the website. There is therefore no option for the user to object.

5. Use of Google Analytics, Google Remarketing Feature and Google Ads Conversion Tracking

5.1 Use of Google Analytics

We use the web analysis service Google Analytics from Google Inc. (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; “Google”) on our website. Data processing serves the purpose of analyzing this website and its visitors. For this purpose, Google will use the information obtained on behalf of the operator of this website to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide other services related to website activity and Internet usage to the website operator. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics is not combined with other data from Google.

Google Analytics uses cookies, which enable an analysis of your use of the website. The information generated by cookies about your use of this website is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. IP anonymization is activated on this website. As a result, your IP address will be abbreviated beforehand by Google within member states of the European Union or in other states party to 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 and abbreviated there. Your data may be transferred to the USA. There is an adequacy decision from the European Commission for data transfers to the USA. Processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 (1) lit. f DSGVO based on the legitimate interest in designing the website in line with requirements and in a targeted manner. For reasons arising from your particular situation, you have the right to object at any time to this processing of personal data concerning you based on Art. 6 (1) f DSGVO.

You can prevent cookies from being saved by selecting the appropriate technical settings in your browser software; however, we would like to point out that in this case you may not be able to use all functions of this website to their full extent.

If you have your habitual residence in the European Economic Area or Switzerland, Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland) is the responsible person for your data. Google Ireland Limited is therefore the company associated with Google, which is responsible for processing your data and compliance with applicable data protection laws. The purpose of the application is to analyze visitor behavior and visitor interests. Google uses cookies to analyze website usage, which forms the basis for creating interest-based advertisements. The cookies are used to record visits to the website and anonymized data about the use of the website. There is no storage of personal data of visitors to the website. If you visit another website in the Google Display Network below, you will be shown advertisements that are likely to take into account previously viewed product and information areas.

We use the online advertising program “Google Ads” on our website and, in this context, conversion tracking (visit action evaluation). Google Conversion Tracking is an analysis service provided by Google LLC (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; “Google”). If you have your habitual residence in the European Economic Area or Switzerland, Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland) is the responsible person for your data. Google Ireland Limited is therefore the company associated with Google, which is responsible for processing your data and compliance with applicable data protection laws.

If you visit certain pages on our website and the cookie has not yet expired, Google and we can recognize that you clicked on the ad and were redirected to that page. Each Google Ads customer receives a different cookie. There is therefore no way that cookies can be tracked via the websites of Ads customers. The information collected using the conversion cookie is used to create 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. However, we do not receive any information that personally identifies users. Your data may be transferred to the USA. Google has certified itself in accordance with the US-EU data protection agreement “Privacy Shield” and is therefore committed to complying with European data protection guidelines.
