4. Cookies
So-called cookies are used on the website. These are data packets that are exchanged between the website server and the visitor's browser. These are stored on the respective devices used (PC, notebook, tablet, smartphone, etc.) when visiting the website. Cookies cannot cause damage to the devices used. In particular, they do not contain viruses or other malicious software. Information is stored in the cookies that arises in connection with the specifically used device. We cannot directly gain knowledge of the visitor's identity.
Cookies are generally accepted according to browser default settings. Browser settings can be configured so that cookies are either not accepted on the devices used or a special notice occurs before a new cookie is created. However, it is noted that deactivating cookies may result in not all website functions being optimally used.
The use of cookies serves to make the use of this web offer more comfortable. For example, session cookies can be used to track whether the visitor has already visited individual pages of the website. These session cookies are automatically deleted after leaving the website.
Temporary cookies are used to improve user-friendliness. They are stored on the visitor's device for a temporary period. When visiting the website again, it is automatically recognized that the visitor has already accessed the page at an earlier time and which entries and settings were made, so they do not have to be repeated.
Cookies are also used to analyze website visits for statistical purposes and to improve the offer. These cookies enable automatic recognition upon repeat visits that the website has already been accessed by the visitor. Cookies are automatically deleted after a specified time.
The data processed by cookies for the aforementioned purposes is justified for safeguarding our legitimate interests pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f) GDPR.
5. Website Analysis Services, Tracking
We use Google Analytics website analysis service on our website.
The legal basis for using the analysis tools is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f) GDPR. Website analysis is in our legitimate interest and serves the statistical recording of site usage for continuous improvement of our website and the offering of our services.
5.2 Google AdWords Conversion Tracking
To statistically record the use of our website and to evaluate it for the purpose of optimizing our website for you, we also use Google Conversion Tracking. Google AdWords sets a cookie (see section 4) on your computer if you have reached our website via a Google ad.
These cookies lose their validity after 30 days and are not used for personal identification. If the user visits certain pages of the AdWords customer's website and the cookie has not yet expired, Google and the customer can recognize that the user clicked on the ad and was redirected to this page.
Each AdWords customer receives a different cookie. Cookies can therefore not be tracked across AdWords customers' websites. The information obtained using the conversion cookie is used to create conversion statistics for AdWords customers who have opted for conversion tracking. AdWords customers learn the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a page tagged with a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not receive any information that personally identifies users.
If you do not want to participate in the tracking process, you can also refuse to set the required cookie – for example via a browser setting that generally deactivates the automatic setting of cookies. You can also deactivate cookies for conversion tracking by setting your browser to block cookies from the domain "www.googleadservices.com". Google's privacy policy on conversion tracking can be found here: https://services.google.com/sitestats/de.html.
5.1 Google Analytics
For the purpose of needs-based design and continuous optimization of our pages, we use Google Analytics, a web analysis service of Google Inc. (https://www.google.de/intl/de/about/) (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; hereinafter "Google"). In this context, pseudonymized usage profiles are created and cookies (see section 4) are used. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website such as:
Browser type/version,
Operating system used,
Referrer URL (previously visited page),
Hostname of the accessing computer (IP address),
Time of server request,
are transmitted to and stored on a Google server in the USA. The information is used to evaluate the use of the website, to compile reports on website activities, and to provide other services related to website use and internet use for market research and needs-based design of these web pages. This information may also be transferred to third parties if legally required or to the extent that third parties process this data on our behalf. Under no circumstances will your IP address be merged with other Google data. IP addresses are anonymized so that assignment is not possible (IP masking).
You can prevent the installation of cookies through appropriate browser software settings; however, we note that in this case you may not be able to use all functions of this website in full.
You can also prevent the collection of data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) as well as the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing a browser add-on (https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de).
As an alternative to the browser add-on, especially for browsers on mobile devices, you can also prevent collection by Google Analytics by clicking on this link. An opt-out cookie will be set that prevents future collection of your data when visiting this website. The opt-out cookie is only valid in this browser and only for our website and is stored on your device. If you delete the cookies in this browser, you must set the opt-out cookie again.
Further information on data protection in connection with Google Analytics can be found in the Google Analytics Help (https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245?hl=de).
6. Your Rights as a Data Subject
Insofar as your personal data is processed when visiting our website, you have the following rights as a "data subject" within the meaning of the GDPR:
6.1 Right to Information
You can request information from us about whether personal data concerning you is processed by us. There is no right to information if providing the requested information would violate confidentiality obligations or if the information must be kept secret for other reasons, particularly due to an overriding legitimate interest of a third party. Notwithstanding this, an obligation to provide information may exist if your interests outweigh the secrecy interest, particularly considering threatening damages. The right to information is also excluded if the data is only stored because it may not be deleted due to legal or statutory retention periods or exclusively serves purposes of data backup or data protection control, provided that providing information would require disproportionate effort and processing for other purposes is excluded by appropriate technical and organizational measures. If the right to information is not excluded in your case and your personal data is processed by us, you can request information about:
Purposes of processing,
Categories of personal data processed concerning you,
Recipients or categories of recipients to whom your personal data is disclosed, particularly recipients in third countries,
If possible, the planned duration for which your personal data will be stored or, if not possible, the criteria for determining the storage period,
The existence of a right to rectification or deletion or restriction of processing of personal data concerning you or a right to object to such processing,
The existence of a right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority for data protection,
If personal data was not collected from you as the data subject, the available information about the data source,
If applicable, the existence of automated decision-making including profiling and meaningful information about the logic involved and the scope and intended effects of automated decision-making,
If applicable, in case of transmission to recipients in third countries, if there is no EU Commission decision on the adequacy of the protection level pursuant to Art. 45 para. 3 GDPR, information about which appropriate safeguards pursuant to Art. 46 para. 2 GDPR are provided to protect personal data.
6.2 Rectification and Completion
If you determine that we have incorrect personal data concerning you, you can request immediate rectification of this incorrect data. In case of incomplete personal data concerning you, you can request completion.
6.3 Deletion
You have a right to deletion ("right to be forgotten") unless processing is necessary for exercising the right to freedom of expression, the right to information, or for fulfilling a legal obligation or performing a task in the public interest, and one of the following reasons applies:
The personal data is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was processed.
The justification basis for processing was exclusively your consent, which you have revoked.
You have objected to the processing of your personal data that we have made public.
You have objected to the processing of personal data we have not made public, and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for processing.
Your personal data was processed unlawfully.
Deletion of personal data is necessary to fulfill a legal obligation to which we are subject.
There is no right to deletion if deletion in the case of lawful non-automated data processing is not possible or only possible with disproportionate effort due to the special nature of storage and your interest in deletion is low. In this case, restriction of processing takes the place of deletion.
6.4 Restriction of Processing
You can request restriction of processing from us if one of the following reasons applies:
You contest the accuracy of personal data. In this case, restriction can be requested for the duration that enables us to verify the accuracy of the data.
Processing is unlawful, and you request restriction of use instead of deletion of your personal data.
Your personal data is no longer needed by us for processing purposes, but you need it for asserting, exercising, or defending legal claims.
You have objected pursuant to Art. 21 para. 1 GDPR. Restriction of processing can be requested as long as it has not been determined whether our legitimate grounds outweigh your grounds.
Restriction of processing means that personal data may only be processed with your consent or for asserting, exercising, or defending legal claims or protecting the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interest. Before we lift the restriction, we have the obligation to inform you.
6.5 Data Portability
You have a right to data portability if processing is based on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a) or Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a) GDPR) or on a contract of which you are a party and processing is carried out using automated procedures. The right to data portability includes the following rights in this case, provided that the rights and freedoms of other persons are not affected: You can request that we provide you with the personal data you have provided to us in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format. You have the right to transmit this data to another controller without hindrance from us. Insofar as technically feasible, you can request that we transmit your personal data directly to another controller.
6.6 Right to Object
If processing is based on Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. e) GDPR (performance of a task in the public interest or in exercise of official authority) or on Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f) GDPR (legitimate interest of the controller or a third party), you have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you for reasons arising from your particular situation. This also applies to profiling based on Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. e) or lit. f) GDPR. After exercising the right to object, we will no longer process your personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for processing that override your interests, rights, and freedoms, or the processing serves the assertion, exercise, or defense of legal claims.
You can object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you for direct marketing purposes. This also applies to profiling insofar as it is connected with such direct marketing. After exercising this right to object, we will no longer use the relevant personal data for direct marketing purposes.
You have the option to communicate the objection informally by telephone, email, if applicable by fax, or to our postal address listed at the beginning of this privacy policy.
6.7 Revocation of Consent
You have the right to revoke consent given at any time with effect for the future. Revocation of consent can be communicated informally by telephone, email, if applicable by fax, or to our postal address. The revocation does not affect the lawfulness of data processing that occurred based on consent until receipt of the revocation. After receipt of revocation, data processing that was based exclusively on your consent will be discontinued.
6.8 Complaint
If you believe that the processing of personal data concerning you is unlawful, you can lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority responsible for your place of residence or workplace or for the place of the alleged violation.
7. Status and Update of this Privacy Policy
This privacy policy is dated May 25, 2020. We reserve the right to update the privacy policy in due course to improve data protection and/or to adapt to changed authority practice or case law.
