4. Purposes of data processing

The scope and type of collection, processing and use of your data differs depending on whether you visit our website merely to retrieve generally available information or to make use of additional services. In principle, we process your personal data as part of our business activities for pre-contractual or contractual purposes. In addition, the exercise of our legitimate interest, your consent or compliance with legal requirements may also be the purpose of data processing by us. We will inform you about the specific purposes of data processing in the following sections. 


5. Legal basis for data processing

We process your personal data in accordance with the following legal bases:  

 

  • for the fulfillment of pre-contractual or contractual obligations (Art. 6 para. 1 b) GDPR)

  • in the context of a balancing of interests (Art. 6 para. 1 f) GDPR) 
  • due to legal requirements (Art. 6 para. 1 c) GDPR)

We will inform you about the specific legal basis for data processing in our respective processing operations. 


6. Right of objection 

If we process your personal data as part of a balancing of interests based on our overriding legitimate interest (legal basis for data processing is Art. 6 (1) f) GDPR), you have the right to object to this processing at any time on grounds relating to your particular situation. If you exercise your right to object, we will stop processing the data concerned. However, we reserve the right to continue processing (with the exception of direct advertising; in this case, we will comply with your objection immediately) if we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or if the processing serves the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims. Further rights of data subjects remain unaffected. 


7. Use of our website for information purposes

The legal basis for this processing is our legitimate interest in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in the proper operation of our website. The log file data is deleted when it is no longer required for the purpose of processing.

We use cookies or similar technologies for various purposes, e.g. to ensure the functionality, security and convenience of online services and to analyze visitor flows. 

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer when you visit our website.

In the following, we summarize cookies and comparable technologies under the term "cookie" for reasons of better readability.

14. Web analysis 

Google Analytics
This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland ("Google"). Google Analytics uses cookies stored on your computer to analyze how you use the website. On behalf of the website operator, Google will use this information to evaluate your website usage, compile reports on website activity, and provide other services related to website and internet usage.

Google Analytics 4 enables automatic IP anonymization, meaning your IP address is shortened by Google. This truncation generally occurs within EU member states or other signatories to the European Economic Area (EEA) agreement. In exceptional cases, the full IP address is transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. According to Google, the IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics is not merged with other Google data.

It cannot be ruled out that your personal data may also be transferred to Google LLC in the USA. Google is certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, ensuring compliance with EU data protection standards. The certificate can be accessed at: https://www.dataprivacyframework.gov/s/

The legal basis for data processing is your consent under Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR. You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future by removing the Google Analytics checkbox at: [https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de]

You can also prevent cookie storage through your browser settings. However, this may limit the full functionality of the website. Additionally, you can prevent Google from collecting and processing data related to your website usage (including your IP address) by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at: [https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de]

More information about terms of use and privacy policies can be found at:
http://www.google.com/analytics/terms/de.html or https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/

Notes on recipients of the consent
Google Analytics is a central platform service under the Digital Markets Act. This means that Google is obliged to obtain your consent for this in accordance with Art. 5 Para. 2 b) DMA. This consent is obtained technically via our Consent Tool in simple consent mode. This means that with your consent to Google Analytics, in addition to the above-mentioned data, the information about your consent is also transmitted to Google. 
 

15. Social Media

We maintain publicly accessible profiles in social networks. The individual social networks we use are listed below. 

Social networks such as Facebook etc. can generally analyze your user behavior comprehensively when you visit their website or a website with integrated social media content (e.g. Like buttons or advertising banners). Visiting our social media presences triggers numerous data protection-relevant processing operations.  

In detail: If you are logged into your social media account and visit our social media presence, the operator of the social media portal can assign this visit to your user account. However, your personal data may also be collected if you are not logged in or do not have an account with the respective social media portal. In this case, this data is collected, for example, via cookies that are stored on your device or by recording your IP address.With the help of the data collected in this way, the operators of the social media portals can create user profiles in which your preferences and interests are stored. In this way, interest-based advertising can be displayed to you inside and outside the respective social media presence. If you have an account with the respective social network, the interest-based advertising can be displayed on all devices on which you are logged in or have been logged in.Please also note that we cannot track all processing operations on the social media portals. Depending on the provider, further processing operations may therefore be carried out by the operators of the social media portals. For details, please refer to the terms of use and data protection provisions of the respective social media portals. 

Legal basis

Our social media presence is intended to ensure an informative presence on the Internet. This is a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) f) GDPR. In necessary cases, the legal basis is also Art. 6 para. 1 a) GDPR. The analysis processes initiated by the social networks themselves may be based on other legal bases that must be specified by the operators of the social networks (e.g. consent within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 a) GDPR). 

Controller and assertion of rights

If you visit one of our social media sites, we are jointly responsible with the operator of the social media platform for the data processing operations triggered during this visit. You can assert your rights (information, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, data portability and complaint) both against us and against the operator of the respective social media portal.Please note that, despite the joint responsibility with the social media portal operators, we do not have full influence on the data processing operations of the social media portals. Our options are largely determined by the corporate policy of the respective provider. 

Storage period

The data collected directly by us via the social media presence is deleted from our systems as soon as the purpose for its storage no longer applies, you request us to delete it or revoke your consent to its storage. Stored cookies remain on your end device until you delete them. Mandatory statutory provisions - in particular retention periods - remain unaffected.We have no influence on the storage period of your data that is stored by the operators of social networks for their own purposes. For details, please contact the operators of the social networks directly (e.g. in their privacy policy, see below).

These statistics allow YouTube to evaluate how often a video has been viewed, whether the video has been viewed on YouTube or on which websites the video has been embedded.
