Data Protection

1. We take data protection seriously

 

 

Protecting your privacy while processing personal data is important to us.

Below, we inform about the collection of personal data. Personal data includes all data that is personally available to you, e.g. name, address, e-mail addresses, user behaviour.

We shall store the information you provide, your e-mail address, and your name and telephone number, when you contact us by e-mail or via a contact form, to answer your questions. We delete the data that arises in this context after storage is no longer required, or limit the processing if there are statutory retention requirements. Your data shall be treated confidentially. Nothing is passed on to third parties.

If we must rely on contracted service providers for individual functions in our offer, or if you wish to use your data for advertising purposes, we shall inform you about the respective transactions in detail below. With contract data processors (s 28 GDPR), we have concluded contracts which correspond to this data protection declaration.

We have made technical and administrative security provisions to protect your personal data from loss, destruction, manipulation and unauthorised access. All of our colleagues as well as all service providers working for us are obliged to follow the applicable data protection laws. Whenever we collect and process personal data, the data is encrypted before it is transmitted. This means that your data cannot be misused by third parties. Our security provisions are therefore subject to a continual improvement process and our data protection declaration is continually revised. Please ensure that you possess the most current version available.

8.1. Google Analytics with anonymisation function

 

 

We use Google Analytics on our websites, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheater Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043 USA, hereafter "Google". Google Analytics uses so-called "Cookies", text files which are stored on your computer, thereby allowing an analysis of your use of the website. The legal basis for the use of Google Analytics is Art. 6 s 1(f) GDPR.

The information generated by these cookies, such as the time, location and frequency of your website visit, including your IP address, is transmitted to Google in the United States and stored there.

We use Google Analytics with the add-on "_gat. anonymizeIp". In this case, your IP address will already be abbreviated and, thus, anonymised 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 sent to a Google server in the US and abbreviated there. Google has submitted to the EU-US Privacy Shield, https://www.privacyshield.gov/EU-US Framework for these exceptional cases where personal information is transferred to the US.

Google will use this information to evaluate your use of our site, to compile reports on our website activity and to provide other services related to website activity and internet usage. Google may also transfer this information to third parties, if the law requires it, or as far as third parties process this data on behalf of Google.

Google does not claim to link your IP address to any other data provided by Google. You can prevent installation of cookies by setting your browser software accordingly; however, we state that in this case you may not be able to fully use all our website’s functions.

Google also offers a deactivation add-on for the most popular browsers, giving you more control over what Google collects regarding the sites you visit. The add-on informs Google Analytics’ JavaScript (ga.js) that no website visit information shall be transmitted to Google Analytics. However, the Google Analytics Disable add-on does not prevent information from being transmitted to us or any other web analytics services we may use. Further information about installing the browser add-on is available at the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de.

If you visit our site via a mobile device (smartphone or tablet), you must click this link instead to prevent future tracking by Google Analytics within our websites. This is also possible as an alternative to the browser add-on mentioned above. Clicking on the link puts an opt-out cookie in your browser which 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 have consented to Google linking your web and app browsing history to your Google Account, and to using information from your Google Account to personalise your ads, Google will use your data with Google Analytics data to provide audience lists to create cross-device remarketing. In order to do this, Google Analytics will initially track your Google-authenticated ID associated with your Google Account (that is, personally identifiable information) on our website. Google Analytics will then temporarily link your ID with your Google Analytics data to optimise our audiences. If you do not agree, you may optout of this through the "My Account" section of your Google Account.

Your browser may store a cookie sent by Google Inc. or a third party, to the extent that DoubleClick Ad Exchange, a web advertising service of Google Inc., USA ("Google"), advertises (text messages, banners, etc.) on this website. The information stored in the cookie can be recorded, collected and evaluated by Google Inc. or third parties.

8.3. Google Remarketing

 

This website uses the remarketing feature of Google Inc. (1600 Amphitheater Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; "Google"). The function is designed to present interest-based ads to web page visitors within the Google Network. This technology allows us to post automatically generated, targeted ads after you visit our website. The advertisements are based on the products and services you clicked on the last visit to our website. For this purpose, a so-called "cookie" is stored in the browser of the website visitor, which makes it possible to recognise the visitor when they open web pages belonging to the advertising network of Google. Cookies are small text files that are stored in your browser when you visit our website. Google usually stores information such as your web request, IP address, browser type, browser language, and the date and time of your request. This information is used to associate the web browser with a particular computer. On pages of the Google advertising network, visitors can then be presented with ads related to content that the visitor previously viewed on web pages that use Google’s remarketing feature.If you have consented via the link www.google.com/settings/u/0/ads/authenticated to use your Google browsing history to link to your Google account and use information from your Google ad personalisation account, the remarketing function is also cross-device. Google will collect your Google ID and use it for cross-device discovery.According to own assertions, Google does not collect any personal data during this process.

8.4. Google Maps

 

 

Our websites use Google Maps to display maps and generate directions. Google Maps is operated by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheater Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. By using Google maps on this website, you consent to the collection, processing, and use of your collected or provided data by Google, its agents, or third parties.

When visiting our websites, Google receives the information that you have accessed the corresponding subpage of our website. In addition, the data mentioned in section 2 of this declaration will be transmitted. This is done regardless of whether Google provides a user account that you are logged into, or there is no user account. When you are logged into Google, your data will be assigned directly to your account. If you do not wish to be associated with your profile on Google, you must log out before activating the button. Google stores your data as usage profiles and uses them for purposes of advertising, market research and/or customised website design. Such an evaluation is done (even for users who are not logged in) to provide appropriate advertising and to inform other users of the social network about their activities on our website. You have a right of objection to the formation of such user profiles; this right must be exercised through Google.

For more information on the purpose and scope of the data collection and its processing by the plug-in provider, please refer to the provider’s privacy policy. Additional information about your rights and privacy settings can also be found here: http://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy. Google also processes your personal information in the US and has submitted to the EU-US Privacy Shield, https: //www.privacyshield.gov/EU-US-Framework.

 

 

 

 

8.5. Use of Social Media Plug-ins

 

 

We use the following social media plug-ins: Facebook, Xing, and Instagram.

In doing so, we use the so-called two-click solution. That means that if you visit our sites, no personal data is initially given to the supplier of the plug-ins on principle. You can recognise the supplier of the plug-ins above the marking on the box by their initial letter or logo. We offer the option of contacting the supplier of the plug-ins directly via the button. Only when you click on the indicated field and it thereby activates, does the plug-in supplier receive the information that you have accessed on the corresponding websites of our online offers. The data mentioned in § 3 of this declaration will then be transmitted. In the case of Facebook, the IP addresses are immediately anonymised according to the specifications of the suppliers in Germany. By activating the plug-ins, your personal data will be transmitted to the plug-in suppliers and stored there (by US American suppliers in the USA). Because the plug-in suppliers carry out the data collection particularly via cookies, we recommend that you delete all cookies via the security settings of your browser before clicking on the greyed-out box.

We have neither influence over the data collection and data-processing operations, nor are we made aware of the full extent of the data collection, the purposes of the data processing or the length of time that data is stored. We also have no information in regards to deletion of the collected data by the plug-in supplier.

The plug-in supplier stores the data collected on you as a usage profile and uses the data for the purposes of advertising, market research and/or appropriate design of their website. Such an evaluation is done especially (even for users who are not logged in) for the presentation of appropriate advertising and to inform other users of the social network of your activities on our website. You have the right to object to the formation of such user profiles, whereby you must contact the respective plug-in supplier directly in order to exercise this right. We offer you the possibility to interact with the social network and with other users via the plug-ins so that we can improve our offer and make it more interesting for you as a user. The legal basis for the use of the plug-ins is Art. 6 s1(f) GDPR.

The data transfer is done regardless whether you have an account with the plug-in supplier and are logged in there. When you are logged into the plug-in supplier, your data which has been collected by us will be assigned directly to your existing account with the plug-in supplier. When you activate the button and, for example, link to the site, the plug-in supplier also stores this information in your user account and openly communicates this with your contacts. We recommend that you regularly log out after using a social network, especially before activating the button in order to avoid this kind of allocation to your profile with the plug-in supplier.

For more information on the purpose and scope of the data collection and its processing by the plug-in supplier, please refer to the following disclosed data protection declaration of the supplier. There you will find additional information about your rights concerning these matters and settings options for the protection of your privacy.

Addresses of the respective plug-in suppliers and URL with their data protection information:

 

 

 

 

8.6. Facebook Custom Audiences

 

 

Additionally, our websites use the remarketing-function “Custom Audiences” of Facebook Inc. (“Facebook”). Users can thereby be shown advertisements that pertain to their interests (“Facebook-Ads”) in the course of a visit to the social network Facebook or other websites that also use this process. In this way, we pursue interests in order to show you advertisements that are interesting to you so that we can make our website more interesting for you.

On the basis of the marketing tools use, your browser automatically creates a connection with the Facebook server. We have no influence over the scope and the further usage of the data that is collected by Facebook through the use of this tool. We therefore inform you accordingly of our present knowledge. Through the integration of Facebook Custom Audiences, Facebook receives the information that you have accessed the corresponding website of our online presence or have clicked on one of our ads. Provided that you are registered with a Facebook service, Facebook can allocate the visit to your account. Even if you are not registered with Facebook or have not logged in, there is the possibility that the supplier may find out your IP address and other identifying features and store them.

Deactivation of the feature "Facebook Custom Audiences" is possible at https://www.facebook.com/settings/?tab=ads#.

The legal basis for the use of the plug-ins is Art. 6 s 1(f) GDPR. You can find additional information on data collection through Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy.

 

 

 

 

9. Newsletter

 

 

With your consent, you can subscribe to our newsletter, which will keep you informed about current offers. The advertised goods and services are named in the declaration of consent.

We use the so-called double opt-in procedure to subscribe users to our newsletter. This means that after you have registered we will send an e-mail to your specified e-mail address to confirm your request to receive the newsletter. If you do not confirm your registration within 24 hours, your information will be blocked and automatically deleted after one month. We will also store your IP addresses and times of registration and confirmation. The purpose of the procedure is to prove your registration and, if necessary, to inform you about possible misuse of your personal data.

The only requirement for sending the newsletter is your e-mail address. The specification of additional, separately marked data is voluntary and will be used to address you personally. After your confirmation, we will save your e-mail address for sending you the newsletter. The legal basis is Art. 6 s 1(a) GDPR.

You can revoke your consent to receive the newsletter at any time and unsubscribe from the newsletter. You can declare your revocation by clicking on the link provided in each newsletter e-mail or by sending a message to the contact details provided in the legal notice.

We point out that we evaluate your user behaviour when sending the newsletter. For this evaluation, the e-mails sent include so-called web beacons or tracking pixels that represent one-pixel image files stored on our website. For the evaluations, we link the data mentioned under section 2 and the web beacons with your e-mail address and an individual ID. Links in the newsletter also contain this ID. The data are collected exclusively pseudonymised; therefore, the IDs are not linked to your other personal data and a direct personal reference is excluded.

You can stop this tracking at any time by clicking on the special link which is provided in every e-mail or informing us by some other means of contact with us. The information will be stored as long you are subscribed to the newsletter. After a cancellation, we save the data anonymously for statistical reasons. Moreover, such tracking is not possible if you have deactivated the display of images in your e-mail program by default. In this case, the newsletter will not be completely displayed for you and you may not be able to use all of the functions. If you manually allow images to be displayed, the tracking mentioned above will work.
