1 Legal basis and purposes of processing

We process your personal data only with regard to the fulfillment of our contractual business relationship with you (pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR), or insofar as this is necessary to provide the service you have requested. In addition, we process your personal data if you have given us your consent to do so (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR).

If necessary, we also process your data (in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR) beyond the actual fulfillment of the contract to protect our legitimate interests or those of third parties (e.g. for advertising and analysis, provided you have not objected to the use of your data; to assert legal claims and defense in legal disputes; to ensure IT security and IT operations; prevention and investigation of criminal offenses; measures for business management and further development of our offers or inquiries on our website and to offer the website with your content).

Any processing of personal data is only carried out in accordance with the provisions of the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the German Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG).

2. processing of personal data and type and purpose of use

a.) Duration of data storage

In principle, we only store your personal data for as long as is necessary to provide the service you have requested or to fulfill our business relationship with you, unless statutory retention obligations provide otherwise and, in the case of the IP address, for 7 days to ensure IT security.

b.) Web server

Like many other companies, we operate our web server with an external service provider in Germany. This ensures that the web server is always kept up to date and that security gaps can be closed promptly. Our web server requires some information from you so that you can access our website and it is displayed in a reasonable manner. This includes

The browser you are using to surf our pages.

  • Your IP address.
  • Name and URL of the retrieved file
  • Website from which access is made (referrer URL)
  • Date and time of your visit.
  • Pages accessed by you.

This data is automatically deleted by the web server after 7 days at the latest. The data is stored for this period in order to be able to trace who initiated the attack or where it came from in the event of unauthorized access to our web server.

The legal basis for this data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR. Our legitimate interest follows from the purposes for data collection listed above.

c.) FAQ

For questions that are not answered by our FAQs, we provide a contact form in the inbox area. In order to be able to process or answer your queries, we need at least your e-mail address.

As soon as you send your request, your data will be transmitted to us from the web server. Please do not enter any sensitive data (e.g. bank details, etc.) in the contact form, as transmission by e-mail is never 100% secure. Your data will only be passed on to third parties with your consent.

The legal basis for this data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR and Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR.

d.) Newsletter

Data that we collect in connection with our newsletter (your email) is transmitted to a service provider ("MailChimp", The Rocket Science Group, LLC 675 Ponce de Leon Ave NE Suite 5000 Atlanta, GA 30308 USA). MailChimp provides a platform that we use to send the newsletter. We have opted for this procedure because "MailChimp" greatly simplifies the processing of the newsletter order. This means that only the data required for the newsletter is transmitted.

The legal basis for this data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR.

e.) Privacy Shield

MailChimp is certified in accordance with the Privacy Shield. This means that this company, based in the USA, has declared that it will at least adapt its data processing to the European level of data protection.

f.) Press area

In our press area you have the possibility to follow our newsfeed. Your e-mail address is required for this. Your e-mail address will be forwarded to one of our service providers "Mynewsdesk" from Leipzig (Mynewsdesk GmbH, Hainstraße 20-24, 04109 Leipzig, kontakt@mynewsdesk.com). We use the "Mynewsdesk" service to publish press releases and distribute them to interested parties.

g.) Web analysis

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service provided by Google Inc ("Google"). Google Analytics uses "cookies", which are text files placed on your computer, to help the website analyze how users use the site. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. However, if IP anonymization is activated on this website, your IP address will be shortened by Google 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 and truncated there. Google will use this information on behalf of the operator of this website for the purpose of evaluating your use of the website, compiling reports on website activity and providing other services relating to website activity and internet usage to the website operator. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data. 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 cookie 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 plug-in available at the following link(http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de).

j) Facebook Pixel

This website uses Facebook's visitor action pixel to measure conversions. The provider of this service is Facebook Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Dublin 2, Ireland. However, according to Facebook, the data collected is also transferred to the USA and other third countries.

This allows the behavior of site visitors to be tracked after they have been redirected to the provider's website by clicking on a Facebook ad. This allows the effectiveness of Facebook ads to be evaluated for statistical and market research purposes and future advertising measures to be optimized.

The data collected is anonymous to us as the operator of this website; we cannot draw any conclusions about the identity of the users. However, the data is stored and processed by Facebook so that a connection to the respective user profile is possible and Facebook can use the data for its own advertising purposes in accordance with the Facebook Data Usage Policy. This allows Facebook to place advertisements on Facebook pages and outside of Facebook. This use of the data cannot be influenced by us as the website operator.

The use of Facebook pixels is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in effective advertising measures including social media. If a corresponding consent has been requested (e.g. consent to the storage of cookies), the processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR; the consent can be revoked at any time.

Data transfer to the USA is based on the standard contractual clauses of the EU Commission. You can find details here:

and

https://de-de.facebook.com/help/566994660333381.

Insofar as personal data is collected on our website with the help of the tool described here and forwarded to Facebook, we and Facebook Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland are jointly responsible for this data processing (Art. 26 GDPR). The joint responsibility is limited exclusively to the collection of the data and its forwarding to Facebook. The processing carried out by Facebook after forwarding is not part of the joint responsibility. The obligations incumbent on us jointly have been set out in an agreement on joint processing. You can find the wording of the agreement at

https://www.facebook.com/legal/controller_addendum. According to this agreement, we are responsible for providing the data protection information when using the Facebook tool and for the secure implementation of the tool on our website in accordance with data protection law. Facebook is responsible for the data security of Facebook products. You can assert data subject rights (e.g. requests for information) regarding the data processed by Facebook directly with Facebook. If you assert your data subject rights with us, we are obliged to forward them to Facebook.

You can find further information on protecting your privacy in Facebook's data protection information: https://de-de.facebook.com/about/privacy/.

You can also deactivate the remarketing function "Custom Audiences" in the settings for advertisements at https://www.facebook.com/ads/preferences/?entry_product=ad_settings_screen. To do this, you must be logged in to Facebook.

If you do not have a Facebook account, you can deactivate usage-based advertising from Facebook on the website of the European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance: http://www.youronlinechoices.com/de/praferenzmanagement/.
