The processing of our users' personal data only takes place regularly with the user's consent. An exception applies in cases where prior consent cannot be obtained for factual reasons and the processing of the data is permitted by law.

Legal basis for the processing of personal data

Insofar as we obtain the consent of the data subject for the processing of personal data, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) serves as the legal basis.

If the processing is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest of our company or a third party and if the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not outweigh the first-mentioned interest, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR serves as the legal basis for the processing.

Data erasure and storage duration

The personal data of the data subject will be erased or blocked as soon as the purpose of storage no longer applies. Data may also be stored if this has been provided for by the European or national legislator in EU regulations, laws or other provisions to which the controller is subject.

Scope of the processing of personal data

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc ("Google", Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland). Google Analytics uses "cookies", which are text files placed on your computer, to help the website analyze how users use the site (cookies _ga, _gat[...], _gid and possibly others with a lifespan of up to 2 years). The information generated by the cookies about your use of this website is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. 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 (anonymizeIP is activated). Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened 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.

The legal basis for the processing of users' personal data is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR and Art. 45 para. 1 GDPR.

Purpose of the data processing

The processing of users' personal data enables us to analyze the surfing behavior of our users. By evaluating the data obtained, we are able to compile information about the use of the individual components of our website. This helps us to continuously improve our website and its user-friendliness. These purposes also constitute our legitimate interest in processing the data in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. By anonymizing the IP address, the interest of users in the protection of their personal data is sufficiently taken into account.

Furthermore, target groups and events are recorded in Analytics to enable cross-device remarketing and conversion tracking with Google Ads and Google DoubleClick. This means that advertisements can be placed depending on the surfing behavior on this website and the profitability of advertising expenditure can be measured.

Google Signals links session data with Google accounts if a visitor is logged into their Google account and has activated personalized advertising. By linking data with these logged-in users, cross-device reports, cross-device remarketing and the export of cross-device conversions to Google Ads are possible. Only these summarized and anonymized statistics on the cross-device behavior of our visitors enable us to understand how our website is actually used. From this we can gain information that we use both for website optimization and for the control of advertisements. It also enables us to recognize whether we are reaching the right target group (demographic characteristics and interests) with our website.

Duration of storage

The data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer required for our recording purposes. Retention of user and event data is 2 months and is extended by a further 2 months with new activity.

Possibility of objection and removal

Cookies are stored on the user's computer and transmitted by it to our server or the server of the third-party provider. As a user, you therefore have full control over the use of cookies. You can deactivate or restrict the transmission of cookies by changing the settings in your Internet browser. Cookies that have already been saved can be deleted at any time. This can also be done automatically. If cookies are deactivated for our website, it may no longer be possible to use all functions of the website to their full extent.

If the processing of personal data concerning you has been restricted, such data may only be processed - apart from being stored - with your consent or for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interest of the Union or of a Member State.

If the restriction of processing has been restricted in accordance with the above conditions, you will be informed by the controller before the restriction is lifted.

Right to erasure

Right to information

If you have asserted the right to rectification, erasure or restriction of processing against the controller, the controller is obliged to notify all recipients to whom the personal data concerning you have been disclosed of this rectification or erasure of the data or restriction of processing, unless this proves impossible or involves a disproportionate effort.

Right to revoke the declaration of consent under data protection law

You have the right to withdraw your declaration of consent under data protection law at any time. The withdrawal of consent shall not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.

Automated decision in individual cases including profiling

You have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affects you. This does not apply if the decision

1. is necessary for the conclusion or performance of a contract between you and the controller,
2. is authorized by Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject and which also lays down suitable measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms and legitimate interests or
3. with your express consent.

However, these decisions may not be based on special categories of personal data in accordance with Art. 9 para. 1 GDPR, unless Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a or g GDPR applies and appropriate measures have been taken to protect the rights and freedoms as well as your legitimate interests.

In the cases referred to in (1) and (3), the data controller shall implement suitable measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, at least the right to obtain human intervention on the part of the controller, to express your point of view and to contest the decision.

Right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority
