The same applies if we supply you with informative material on request or if we answer your enquiries. We will always notify you in such cases. Otherwise, we only save data that you have automatically or voluntarily submitted to us.

Whenever we process personal information, we do so in order to provide you with our services or to pursue our commercial interests.

Google

Google Tag Manager

This website uses Google Tag Manager. The Tag Manager does not collect personal data. The tool activates other tags, which may collect data. Google Tag Manager does not access this data. If you have made a deactivation at the domain or cookie level, it will continue to persist for all tracking tags implemented with Google Tag Manager. You can find Google’s privacy policy for this tool at: https://www.google.com/analytics/terms/tag-manager/

Google Analytics 4 with anonymisation functionality

We use Google Analytics 4, a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited, hereinafter “Google”, on our website. Google Analytics 4 uses “cookies”, which are text files placed on your computer, to help the website analyse how users use the site. The information collected by means of these cookies about your use of this website is generally transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there.

We use the User ID function. The User ID allows us to assign a unique, persistent ID to one or more sessions (and the activities during those sessions) and to analyse user behaviour across devices.

We use Google Signals. This allows Google Analytics 4 to collect additional information about users who have activated personalised ads (interests and demographics) and ads can be delivered to these users in cross-device remarketing campaigns.

The anonymisation of IP addresses is activated by default with Google Analytics 4. Due to IP anonymisation, your IP address will be truncated by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states 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 truncated there. According to Google, the IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics 4 is not merged with other Google data.

During your visit to the website, your user behaviour is recorded in the form of “events”. Events may include:

  • Page views
  • First visit to the website
  • Start of the session
  • Your “click path”, interaction with the website
  • Scrolls (whenever a user scrolls to the end of the page (90%))
  • Clicks on external links 
  • Internal search queries
  • Interaction with videos
  • Downloaded files
  • Ads seen / clicked
  • Language settings

The following is also recorded:

  • Your approximate location (region)
  • Your IP address (in truncated form)
  • Technical information about your browser and the end devices you use (e.g. language setting, screen resolution)
  • Your internet provider
  • The referrer URL (via which website/advertising medium you came to this website)
  • User ID
  • Interests
  • Demographic data

Google will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your usage of our website, compiling reports on website activities for us, and carrying out further services relating to website activity and Internet usage.

Google will transfer data to third parties only on the basis of statutory requirements or as part of contract data processing. Under no circumstances will Google combine your data with other data collected by Google. The data will only be passed on to Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043, USA and Alphabet Inc, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.

The data sent by us and linked to cookies are automatically deleted after 14   months. The deletion of data the retention period of which has been reached takes place automatically once a month.

The legal basis for this data processing is your consent pursuant to Art. 6 Para. 1 Sent. 1 lit. a GDPR.

Google also offers an opt-out add-on for the most popular browsers, which gives you more control over what information Google collects about the websites you visit. The add-on indicates to the JavaScript (ga.js) of Google Analytics 4 that no information about the website visit should be transmitted to Google Analytics 4. However, the Google Analytics 4 opt-out browser add-on does not prevent information from being transmitted to us or to other web analytics services we may use. For further information on installing the browser Add-On, please click on the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de

If you visit our website from a mobile device (smartphone or tablet), you will need to click this link instead to prevent Google Analytics 4 from tracking you within this site in the future. This is also possible as an alternative to the above browser Add-On. By clicking the link, an opt-out cookie is set in your browser and is valid only for this browser and this domain. If you delete the cookies in this browser, the opt-out cookie will also be deleted, so you will have to click the link again.

If you’ve agreed that Google may link your web and app browsing history to your Google Account and use information from your Google Account to personalise ads, Google will use your information in conjunction with Google Analytics data to create target audience lists for remarketing purposes across multiple devices. Google Analytics 4 will first collect your Google-authenticated ID on our website, which is linked to your Google account (i.e. personal data). Google Analytics will then temporarily associate your ID with your Google Analytics 4 data to optimise our target audiences.

If you do not agree, you can turn it off via the corresponding settings in the “My Account” section of your Google Account.

You can find out more about the Google privacy policy and data protection regarding Google Analytics 4 at: https://marketingplatform.google.com/about/analytics/terms/de/ and at https://policies.google.com/?hl=de​​​​​​​.

For further information on the use of “cookies” on our website and on revocation, please refer to the last section “Cookies”.

Google Doubleclick

Doubleclick by Google is a service by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (“Google”). Doubleclick by Google uses cookies to show you advertisements that are relevant to you. A pseudonymous identification number (ID) is assigned to your browser in order to check which ads were displayed in your browser and which ads were accessed. The cookies contain no personal information. The use of DoubleClick cookies only allows Google and its affiliates to display ads based on previous visits to our or other websites. The information generated by the cookies is transferred by Google to a server in the United States for evaluation and is stored there.

Google will transfer data to third parties only on the basis of statutory requirements or as part of contract data processing. Under no circumstances will Google combine your data with other data collected by Google.

For more information about the use of cookies on our site, please see the section "Cookies".

In addition, you can prevent Google from collecting and processing the data generated by the cookies, as well as the data related to your use of the webpages, by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available under the following link under the item DoubleClick deactivation extension. Alternatively, you can disable Doubleclick cookies with this opt-out.

Google Ads Conversion-Tracking

We use the online advertising programme “Google Ads” on our website and, in this context, conversion tracking. Google Conversion Tracking is an analytical service provided by Google LLC (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; “Google”). If your usual residence is in the European Economic Area or Switzerland, Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland) is the controller of your data. Google Ireland Limited is therefore the Google affiliate responsible for processing your data and complying with the applicable data protection laws. The cookie for “conversion tracking” is placed on your computer when you click on an ad displayed by Google. These cookies remain valid for a limited period, do not contain any personal data and are therefore not used for personal identification. If you visit certain pages of our website and the cookie has not yet expired, we and Google can recognise that you have clicked on the ad and been redirected to this page. Each Google Ads client receives a different cookie. There is thus no possibility for cookies to be tracked through the websites of Ads clients. The information obtained with the help of the conversion cookie is used to create conversion statistics. This tells us the total number of users who have clicked on one of our ads and been redirected to a page that has a conversion tracking tag. However, we do not receive any information that personally identifies users. Your data may under certain circumstances be transferred to the USA. The data processing, in particular the placing of cookies, is carried out with your consent on the basis of Art. 6 1(a) GDPR. You can withdraw your consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing based on your prior consent until the point of its withdrawal.

Further information and the Google privacy policy can be found at:
https://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy/

For more information on the use of cookies on our website and your right to withdraw consent, please refer to the “Cookies” section.

Google Maps

We use Google Maps (API) of Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (“Google”) on our website. Google Maps is a web service for the display of interactive maps to visually present geographical information. By using this service, you will be shown our location, and it will be easier for you to find us. When you visit subpages in which Google Maps is integrated, information about your use of our website (such as your IP address) is transmitted to Google servers in the USA and stored there. This happens regardless of whether Google provides a user account that you are logged into or whether there is no user account. If you are logged in to Google, your data will be directly assigned to your account. If you do not want your data to be assigned to your Google profile, you must log out before activating the button. Google stores your data (even for users who are not logged in) as user profiles which it then evaluates. Such an evaluation is carried out in particular in accordance with Art. 6 (1)(f) GDPR, on the basis of Google's legitimate interests in the display of personalised advertising, market research and/or the needs-based design of its website. You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles. You must contact Google to exercise this right.

Detailed information on data protection in connection with the use of Google Maps can be found on the Google website (“Google Privacy Policy”): https://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy/

Google reCaptcha

We use the reCaptcha service of Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (hereinafter “Google”).

This query enables us to determine whether the entry has been created by a human or fraudulently by means of automated machine processing. The service includes the sending to Google of the IP address and, if necessary, additional data required by Google for the reCAPTCHA service. If a corresponding consent has been requested, the processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 (1)(a) GDPR; this consent can be withdrawn at any time. The legality of any and all data processing operations previously carried out will not be affected by your withdrawal of consent.

Otherwise, in accordance with Art. 6 (1)(f) GDPR, the use is based on our legitimate interest in establishing individual responsibility on the Internet and preventing misuse and spam. If the data processing is based on our legitimate interest, you can object to the processing at any time with future effect.  In the event that IP anonymisation is activated on this website, your IP address will, however, previously be truncated by Google within member states of the European Union or in other states that are 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 truncated there. Google will use this information on behalf of the operator of this website to evaluate your use of this service. The IP address of your browser transmitted in the reCaptcha process will not be combined with other data by Google. This data is subject to the deviating Google data protection provisions.

If you access the webpages of our website with such a plugin – for example, our media library – a connection to the Vimeo servers will be established, and the plugin will be displayed.

You can prevent this assignment by logging out of your Vimeo user account before using our website and deleting the corresponding cookies from Vimeo.

YouTube in Privacy-Enhanced Mode

We use the YouTube embedding function to display and play videos from the provider YouTube (hereinafter “YouTube”), which belongs to Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (hereinafter “Google”).

The privacy-enhanced mode is used here, in which, according to the provider, the storage of user information is only triggered when the video(s) is/are played. If the playback of embedded YouTube videos is started, the provider uses YouTube cookies or comparable recognition technologies to collect information about user behaviour. According to information from YouTube, these are used for purposes including the collection of video statistics, the improvement of user-friendliness and the prevention of abusive behaviour. The YouTube server is informed about which of our pages you have visited. If you are logged in to Google, your data will be directly assigned to your account when you click on a video. If you do not want your data to be assigned to your YouTube profile, you must log out before activating the button. Google stores your data (even for users who are not logged in) as user profiles which it then evaluates. Such an evaluation is carried out according to Art. 6 (1)(f) GDPR on the basis of Google's legitimate interests in the display of personalised advertising, market research and/or the needs-based design of its website. You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles. You must contact YouTube to exercise this right.

Processing

Right to restrict processing:

You can ask us to restrict the processing of your data if

If technically feasible, you may request us to transfer your data directly to another representative.

Objection

Right to object:
