Cooperation with Processors and Third Parties

If, in the course of the Processing, we disclose Data to other persons and companies (Processors or third parties), transfer Data to them or otherwise grant them access to the Data, this will be done solely on the basis of a legal permission (e.g. when the transfer of Data to a third party, such as a payment services provider, is required according to Art. 6 (1) lit. b) GDPR for the fulfillment of the contract), if You have given your consent, if a legal obligation requires us to do so or if the transfer is based on our legitimate interests (e.g. engaging representatives, webhosting service providers etc.)

We share Your Data with third parties in the context of the delivery of goods or payment and, to the extent legally permitted or required, with legal advisers and authorities.

External Payment Service Providers

Subject to legal or contractual permissions, we Process Data or arrange for the Processing of the Data in a third country only if the special conditions of Art. 44 seqq. GDPR are fulfilled. This means that the Processing takes place in the third country, e.g. on the basis of special guarantees such as an officially recognized adequacy decision confirming that the data protection level of the third country is equivalent to that of the EU (so-called “adequacy decision”), a “Privacy Shield” certification of the organization to which the Data is transferred or the observation of recognized special contractual obligations (so-called “standard contract clauses”).

Cookies and Right to Object to Direct Marketing

“Cookies” are small files that contain small amounts of information that are stored on computers or mobile devices of Users when the Users are visiting a website. On subsequent website visits, cookies will be returned to the original website or another website that recognizes the respective cookie.Cookies are primarily used to ensure a proper or efficient functioning of the website and to provide the website operator with information.

Cookies fulfill a number of functions. For example, they allow for an easier navigation between various pages, the saving of Your settings and for being able to generally improve Your User experience. Cookies can tell us, e.g. if You have visited the website previously or if You are a new visitor. They can also help us ensure that ads that You view online have higher relevance to You and Your interests.

There are essentially two kinds of cookies:

  • our own cookies that we store directly on Your computer or Your mobile device;
  • cookies of third-party providers that are stored by them for us and that can be used by us for various purposes relating to functionality, performance/analysis, advertising/tracking and social networks.

Cookies can remain on Your computer or mobile device for different lengths of time. Some cookies are “session cookies”; these are stored only temporarily for the duration of a session and they expire when You close Your browser. Other cookies are permanent cookies; these will remain on Your computer or mobile device for a defined period and will not be deleted when You close the browser. Permanent cookies can be used by the website to recognize Your computer or mobile device when You reopen Your browser and surf the internet.

We use cookies for a number of purposes, such as:

  • enabling, simplifying and improving Your access to and the functioning of the website;
  • tracking data flows and user behavior in connection with the website;
  • understanding how many users use our website regularly and which operating systems (e.g. Windows or Mac OS) and internet browsers (e.g. Firefox, Chrome or Internet Explorer) they use for this;
  • monitoring and continuously improving the website performance;
  • customizing and improving Your online experience according to Your personal preferences.

The kind of cookies that are used in connection with the website can be classified into four categories: “cookies that are required for our fundamental purposes”, “functions cookies”, “performance and analysis cookies” and “advertising and tracking cookies”. Below, we have compiled further information about each category, also providing information about the respective purpose of the cookies set by us or a third party.

Cookies that are required for fundamental purposes: 

These cookies are required to be able to make the website and the services provided via the website available to You and to enable You to use various website features (e.g. access to secure areas). Without these cookies, services that You have requested, e.g. secure login accounts, cannot be provided.
Functions cookies: 
Functions cookies record the settings that You have made on the website and enable us to customize the website to You. This means that we can offer our services exactly how You want it when You stay on the website or return to it. Functions cookies permit us, for example:
  • to display to You that You are logged in; and
  • to save Your access settings.
Performance and analysis cookies:
Cookies of this kind enable us to track how our website, applications and services are used and how effective our marketing campaigns are. They help us customize our offer more specifically to the customers. If You deactivate cookies of this kind, You might not be able to use all features of the website, applications or services anymore and support and information may be restricted.
Marketing cookies:
With cookies of this kind, Data about Your browsing behavior and Your shopping history is collected. This way, we can offer advertising to You that matches Your interests. These cookies ensure that ads do not constantly repeat, that they are displayed correctly and, in some cases, that they are selected so that they are relevant to You. This Data might be shared with third-party providers to be able to offer advertising that is customized to You. If You deactivate cookies of this kind, You might not be able to use all features of the website, applications or services anymore and support and information may be restricted.

We also use other technologies for similar purposes, including Data that we store in Your web browser or on Your device, identifiers that are related to Your device and other software. All of these technologies are referred to in this Privacy Policy as “cookie”.
Please also note the further information about cookies in this Privacy Policy, in particular as relates to the use of Google services.
If You do not want that cookies are stored on Your computer, please deactivate the corresponding option in the system settings of Your browser. Stored cookies can be deleted in the browser system settings. Deactivating cookies, however, can lead to restrictions in the functions of our Online Offer.
A general objection to the use of the cookies that are set for the purposes of online marketing can be declared with regard to a variety of services, primarily in the case of tracking, via the U.S. webpage http://www.aboutads.info/choices/or the EU webpage http://www.Youronlinechoices.com/. Furthermore, the storing of cookies can be ended by deactivating them in the browser settings. Please note that You might then not be able to use all features of this Online Offer.

Deletion of Data

The Data processed by us will be deleted or their processing will be restricted in accordance with Article 17 and Article 18 GDPR. Unless explicitly stated in this Privacy Policy, the Data stored by us will be deleted as soon as it is no longer needed for its designated purpose and the deletion is not opposed by statutory retention obligations. If the Data is not deleted because it is required for other and legally permissible purposes, the processing will be restricted. This means that the Data will be blocked and not processed for other purposes. This applies, e.g. to Data that must be stored for reasons of commercial or tax law.

Administration, Accounting, Office Organization, Contract Management

We process Data within the scope of administrative tasks and for the purpose of maintaining our business operation and organization of our business, accounting and based on the fulfillment of legal obligations such as the archiving obligation. For these purposes, we process the same Data that we also process in the context of our contractual performances. The legal basis for such Processing are Article 6 (1) lit. c) GDPR and Article 6 (1) lit. f) GDPR. We also store information about suppliers and other business partners on the basis of our business interests, e.g. for the purpose of communication at a later time. This Data, which is primarily business-related, will be stored by us for as long as it is needed to fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Policy. A longer or shorter storing may be prescribed by law in individual cases. Upon expiration of these periods, the relevant Data will be deleted.

Business Analyses and Market Research

To operate our business efficiently, and to be able to detect market trends as well as the preferences of contractual partners and Users, we analyze the Data available to us regarding business transactions, contracts, requests, etc. In doing so, we process master data, communication data, contract data, payment data, usage data and metadata on the basis of Art. 6 (1) lit. f) GDPR, the Data Subjects of which include contractual partners, prospective customers, existing customers, visitors and Users of our Online Offer.
The analyses are made for the purpose of business evaluations, marketing and market research. In the process, we can consider the registered Users’ profiles including information such as the services they have used. The analyses help us improve user-friendliness, optimize our offer and make our business efficient. The analyses are used solely by us and they are not disclosed externally, unless these are anonymous analyses with aggregated values.
If these analyses or profiles relate to specific persons, they will be deleted or anonymized upon cancellation of the customer account or otherwise after two years from the conclusion of the contract. Furthermore, the overall business analyses and identification of general trends are created in anonymous form wherever possible.

Contact

When contacting us (e.g. using the contact form, email, telephone or via social media), Your information will be processed in accordance with Article 6 (1) lit. b) GDPR in order to handle and complete the contact request. Your Data can be stored in a customer relationship management system (“CRM System”) or a comparable organizational system for the handling of requests.

Newsletter

In the notes below, we inform You about the contents of our newsletter and the process for subscribing, mailing and statistical analysis, as well as Your rights to object. By subscribing to our newsletter, You declare Your consent to the receipt of the newsletter and to the described procedures.
Content of the newsletter: We send email newsletters and other messages containing advertising information (hereinafter “Newsletter”) only with the recipients’ consent or a legal permission. If the contents of the Newsletter are described concretely as part of the Newsletter subscription, these contents are binding for Your consent. In addition, our Newsletters contain information about us and our services.
Double-opt-in and logging: Our newsletter is subscribed in a so-called double-opt-in procedure. This means that You will receive an email upon registration, in which confirmation of Your registration is requested. This confirmation is necessary so that nobody can sign up using someone else’s email address. The subscriptions of the Newsletter are logged so to be able to verify the subscription process according to the legal requirements. This includes that the time of the subscription and confirmation as well as the IP address are stored.
Subscription Data: To sign up for the Newsletter, it is sufficient if You specify Your email address. Optionally, we ask You to please enter a name for the purpose of addressing You personally in the Newsletter.
The Newsletter is emailed and the related performance measurement takes place based on the recipients’ consent according to Article 6 (1) lit. a), Art. 7 GDPR in conjunction with Sec. 7 (2) no. 3 UWG [Act against Unfair Competition] or, if no consent is required, based on our justified interests in direct marketing according to Art. 6 (1) lit. f) GDPR in conjunction with Sec. 7 (3) UWG. 
The logging of the subscription process is based on our justified interests according to Art. 6 (1) lit. f) GDPR. Our interest is oriented on the use of a user-friendly and secure newsletter system, which permits us in particular to render proof of consents.
Cancellation/Revocation – You can cancel the receipt of our Newsletter at any time, i.e. revoke Your consent. You can find a link to cancel the Newsletter at the bottom of each Newsletter. We can store the deregistered email addresses, subject to deviating legal requirements, for up to three years on the basis of our justified interests before we delete them, in order to be able to prove that a consent was formerly given. The processing of this Data is limited to the purpose of a potential defense against legal claims. It is possible to request specific deletion at any time if the former existence of a consent is confirmed at the same time.

Newsletter - Sendinblue GmbH

The Newsletter is mailed by means of the mailing service provider “Sendinblue GmbH”, Köpenicker Straße 126, 10179 Berlin. You can read the privacy policy of the mailing service provider here: https://www.sendinblue.com/legal/privacypolicy/. The mailing service provider is engaged on the basis of our legitimate interests according to Article 6 (1) lit. f) GDPR and a contract on commissioned data processing according to Article 28 (3) sentence 1 GDPR.
The mailing service provider can use the Data of the recipients in pseudonymized form, i.e. without attribution to You, for the purpose of optimizing or improving its own services, e.g. for the technical optimization of the mailing and the presentation of the newsletter or for statistical purposes. The mailing service provider, however, does not use the Data of our Newsletter recipients to write to them by itself or to pass on the Data to third parties.

Newsletter – Performance Measurement

The Newsletters contain a so-called “web beacon”, i.e. a file with the size of one pixel that is retrieved by our server or, if we use a mailing service provider, from the latter’s server when the Newsletter is opened. In the course of the retrieval, initially technical information such as information regarding Your browser and system, as well as Your IP address and the time of the retrieval is gathered.
This information is used for the technical improvement of the services by means of the technical data or the target groups and their reading behavior based on the locations of the access (which can be identified by means of the IP address) or the times of the access. The statistic survey also includes determining whether the Newsletters are opened, when they are opened and which links are clicked. This information can indeed be attributed to the particular Newsletter recipients for technical reasons. However, it is neither our intention nor that of the mailing service provider’s if any is used to monitor particular Users. The analyses instead help us to identify the reading habits of our Users and to personalize our contents to them or to send our different contents according to our Users’ interests.

Google Tag Manager

Google Tag Manager is a solution of Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (“Google”), through which we can manage so-called tags on an interface (and this way integrate, e.g. Google Analytics and other Google marketing services in our Online Offer). Tag Manager itself (which implements the tags) does not process any personal Data of the Users. Regarding the processing of the Users’ personal Data, it is referred to the following information about the Google services. Terms of Use: https://www.google.com/intl/de/tagmanager/use-policy.html.

Google Analytics

Based on our justified interests (i.e. interest in analysis, optimization and efficient operation of our Online Offer in the definition of Article 6 (1) lit. f) GDPR), we use Google Analytics, a web analysis service of Google. Google uses cookies. The information generated by the cookie about the use of the Online Offer by the Users is generally transmitted to and saved on a server of Google in the USA.
Google is certified, among other, according to the Privacy Shield Agreement and thereby offers a guarantee that the European data protection laws are observed (https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt000000001L5AAI&status=Active).
Google will use this information on our behalf to analyze the use of our online offer by the Users, to compile reports about the activities within this Online Offer, and to perform further services for us that are related to this Online Offer and the internet use. In the process, pseudonymized User profiles of the Users can be created from the processed Data.
We use Google Analytics only with activated IP anonymization. This means, the Users’ IP addresses will be truncated by Google within the Member States of the European Union or in other signatory states of the Treaty on the European Economic Area. The complete IP address will only be transmitted in exceptional cases to a server of Google in the USA and it will be truncated there.
The IP address transmitted from the User’s browser will not be combined with other Data of Google. The Users can prevent the storing of cookies by a corresponding setting of their browser software; the Users can moreover prevent the gathering of the Data generated by the cookie that is to be forwarded to Google and relates to their use of the online offer, as well as the processing of this Data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available at to the link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en-GB.
More information about the use of Data by Google, options for settings and objections can be found in Google’s privacy policy (https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads?hl=en) and in the settings for the display of ads by Google (https://adssettings.google.com/authenticated).
The Users’ personal Data will be deleted or anonymized after 14 months.

Finding a Target Audience with Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics to display the ads placed within the web services of Google and its partners only to such Users, who have actually shown an interest in our Online Offer or have certain attributes (e.g. interest in certain topics or products that are determined based on the visited webpages) and which we transmit to Google (so-called “remarketing” or “Google Analytics Audiences”). By means of the remarketing audiences, we would also like to ensure that our ads match the Users’ potential interests.

Google AdWords and Conversion Measurement

Based on our legitimate interests (i.e. interest in analysis, optimization and efficient operation of our Online Offer in the definition of Article 6 (1) lit. f) GDPR), we furthermore use the online marketing procedure “AdWords” of Google to place ads in the Google advertising network (e.g. in search results, in videos, on websites, etc.) so that they are displayed to Users who are believed to be interested in the ads. This permits us to display ads for and within our Online Offer in a more targeted way and to only present ads that potentially match their interests to the Users. If, for example, ads are displayed to a User in which he/she has shown an interest at other online offers, this is called “remarketing”. For this purpose, a code of Google is executed by Google directly when our webpages or other webpages are retrieved on which the Google advertising network is active and so-called (re)marketing tags (invisible graphics or codes, also referred to as “web beacons”) are embedded in the webpage. These are used to store an individual cookie, i.e. a small file, on the user’s device (instead of cookies, also comparable technologies can be used). It is noted in this file which webpages the User has visited, which contents are interesting to him/her and which offers have been clicked by the User, and further technical information about the browser and operating system, referring websites, time of the visit and additional information on the use of the Online Offer.
We also receive an individual “conversion cookie”. The information gathered by means of the cookie helps Google create conversion statistics for us. We will only find out the anonymous total number of Users, however, who have clicked on our ad and have been redirected to a page that has a conversion tracking tag. However, we do not obtain any information by which the User can be personally identified.
The Data of Users is processed in pseudonymized form within the Google advertising network. This means that Google does not store and process, e.g. the names and email address of the User but that it processes the relevant Data as specific to the cookie within pseudonymized user profiles. I.e. in Google’s perspective, the ads are not managed and displayed for a concretely identifiable person but for the cookie owner, regardless of who this cookie owner is. This does not apply if a User has given explicit permission to Google to process the Data without pseudonymization. The information gathered about the Users will be transmitted to Google and stored on Google’s servers in the USA.
More information about the use of Data by Google, options for settings and objections can be found in Google’s privacy policy (https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads?hl=en) and in the settings for the display of ads by Google (https://adssettings.google.com/authenticated).

Google Maps

We furthermore integrate the maps of the “Google Maps” service of Google. The processed Data can include, in particular IP addresses and location Data of the Users but this Data will not be gathered without their consent (usually given under the settings of their mobile devices). The Data can be processed in the USA. Privacy policy: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/, Opt-Out: https://adssettings.google.com/authenticated.

Online Profiles in Social Media

We maintain online profiles on social networks and platforms to communicate with customers, prospective customers and Users, who are active there, and to inform them there about our services. For accessing the respective networks and platforms, the general terms and conditions and the Data processing policies of their respective operators apply. 
Unless specified otherwise in our Privacy Policy, we process the Users’ Data to the extent as they communicate with us on the social networks and platforms, e.g. insofar as they write comments on our online profiles or send us messages.

Integration of Third-Party Services and Contents

Within our Online Offer, based on our legitimate interests (i.e. interest in analysis, optimization and efficient operation of our Online Offer in the definition of the Article 6 (1) lit. f) GDPR), we use content and service offers of third-party providers to integrate their contents and services such as videos or fonts (hereinafter referred to collectively as “Contents”). 
This always presupposes that the third-party providers of these Contents recognize the IP addresses of the Users, as they would not be able to send the Contents to their browsers without the IP addresses. The IP address is therefore required to display these contents. We work towards using only such contents of providers that respectively use the IP address merely to deliver the contents. Third-party providers can also use so-called pixel tags (invisible graphics that are also referred to as “web beacons”) for statistical or marketing purposes. By means of these “pixel tags”, information can be analyzed such as the visitor traffic on this website. The pseudonymized information can furthermore be stored in cookies of the Users’ devices and contain, among other, technical Data about the browser and operating system, referring websites, time of the visit and other information about the use of our Online Offer, and also be combined with information from other sources.

Use of Facebook Social Plug-ins

Based on our legitimate interests (i.e. interest in analysis, optimization and efficient operation of our Online Offer in the definition of Article 6 (1) lit. f) GDPR), we use social plug-ins (“Plug-ins”) of the social networking facebook.com, which is operated by Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland ("Facebook"). The plug-ins can be interactive elements or contents (e.g. videos, graphics or text contributions) and they can be recognized by the Facebook logo (white “f” on a blue tile, the words “like”, or a “thumbs up” icon) or they are labelled with the addition “Facebook Social Plug-in”. The list and the look of the Facebook Social Plug-ins can be viewed here: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/?locale=en_US.
Facebook is certified according to the Privacy Shield Agreement and thereby offers a guarantee that the European Data protection laws are observed (https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt0000000GnywAAC&status=Active).
When a User calls up a function of this Online Offer that contains such a Plug-in, the User’s device will establish a direct connection to the servers of Facebook. The content of the Plug-in is transferred from Facebook directly to the User's device and integrated in this Online Offer. In the process, user profiles can be created of the Users from the processed Data. We therefore have no influence on the volume of Data that is gathered by Facebook using this Plug-in and we therefore inform the Users according to our state of knowledge.
Through integration of the Plug-ins, Facebook receives the information that a User has called up the corresponding page of our Online Offer. If the User is logged in to Facebook, Facebook can attribute the visit to his/her Facebook account. If Users interact with the Plug-ins, for example, click on the “Like” button or enter a comment, the corresponding information will be transmitted from Your device directly to Facebook where it will be stored. If a User is not a member of Facebook, there is nonetheless the possibility that Facebook will identify and save his/her IP address. According to Facebook, only an anonymized IP address is stored in Germany.
You can find details on the purpose and scope of the Data collection, the further processing and use of the Data by Facebook, as well as Your rights in this regard and optional settings for the protection of Your Data in Facebook’s privacy policy at: https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/.
If a User is a member of Facebook and does not want that Facebook collects Data about him/her through this Online Offer and links it to his/her member data stored by Facebook, he/she must log out of Facebook and delete his/her cookies before using our Online Offer. More settings can be adjusted and objections can be raised against the use of Data for marketing purposes in the Facebook profile settings: https://www.facebook.com/settings?tab=ads or via the U.S. webpage http://www.aboutads.info/choices/ or the EU webpage http://www.Youronlinechoices.com/. The settings are made independent of the platform, i.e. they are adopted for all devices, such as desktop computers or mobile devices.

Instagram

Within our Online Offer, functions and contents of the service Instagram offered by Instagram Inc., 1601 Willow Road, Menlo Park, CA, 94025, USA (“Instagram”) can be integrated. This can include, e.g. contents such as pictures, videos or texts and buttons by means of which Users express their liking of the contents, the authors of the contents or subscribe to our contributions. If the Users are members of the platform Instagram, Instagram can attribute the access to the aforementioned contents and functions to the Users’ profiles there. Privacy policy of Instagram: http://instagram.com/about/legal/privacy/.

Children
