Relevant legal bases

Below you will find an overview of the legal basis of the GDPR on the basis of which we process personal data. Please note that in addition to the regulations of the GDPR, national data protection regulations may apply in your or our country of residence or domicile. If more specific legal bases apply in individual cases, we will inform you of these in the data protection declaration.

  • Consent (Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. a. GDPR) - The data subject has given their consent to the processing of personal data concerning them for a specific purpose or several specific purposes.
  • Contract performance and pre-contractual inquiries (Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b. GDPR) - Processing is necessary for the fulfillment of a contract to which the data subject is a party or to carry out pre-contractual measures , which are made at the request of the data subject.
  • Legal obligation (Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. c. GDPR) - Processing is necessary to fulfill a legal obligation to which the person responsible is subject.
  • Legitimate interests (Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. f. GDPR) - Processing is necessary to protect the legitimate interests of the person responsible or a third party, unless the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject that require the protection of personal data predominate.

National data protection regulations in Germany: In addition to the data protection regulations of the General Data Protection Regulation, national data protection regulations apply in Germany. This includes in particular the law to protect against misuse of personal data during data processing (Federal Data Protection Act – BDSG). In particular, the BDSG contains special regulations on the right to information, the right to deletion, the right to object, the processing of special categories of personal data, processing for other purposes and transmission and automated decision-making in individual cases, including profiling. Furthermore, it regulates data processing for the purposes of the employment relationship (Section 26 BDSG), in particular with regard to the establishment, implementation or termination of employment relationships and the consent of employees. Furthermore, state data protection laws of the individual federal states may apply.

security measures

We take appropriate technical and organizational measures in accordance with the legal requirements, taking into account the state of the art, the implementation costs and the type, scope, circumstances and purposes of the processing as well as the different probabilities of occurrence and the extent of the threat to the rights and freedoms of natural persons to ensure a level of protection appropriate to the risk.

The measures include, in particular, ensuring the confidentiality, integrity and availability of data by controlling physical and electronic access to the data as well as the access, input, disclosure, ensuring availability and its separation. We have also set up procedures to ensure that the rights of those affected are exercised, data are deleted and responses are made to data threats. We also take the protection of personal data into account when developing or selecting hardware, software and procedures in accordance with the principle of data protection, through technology design and through data protection-friendly default settings.

Shortening of the IP address: If IP addresses are processed by us or by the service providers and technologies used and the processing of a complete IP address is not necessary, the IP address will be shortened (also known as " "IP masking"). Here, the last two digits or the last part of the IP address after a period are removed or replaced with placeholders. Shortening the IP address is intended to prevent or make it significantly more difficult to identify a person based on their IP address.

SSL encryption (https): To protect your data transmitted via our online offering, we use SSL encryption. You can recognize such encrypted connections by the prefix https:// in the address bar of your browser.

deletion of data

The data processed by us will be deleted in accordance with the legal requirements as soon as the consent for processing is revoked or other permissions no longer apply (e.g. if the purpose for processing this data no longer applies or it is not necessary for the purpose).

Unless the data is deleted because it is required for other legally permissible purposes, its processing will be limited to these purposes. This means that the data will be blocked and not processed for other purposes. This applies, for example, to data that must be stored for commercial or tax reasons or whose storage is necessary to assert, exercise or defend legal claims or to protect the rights of another natural or legal person.

Our data protection information may also contain further information on the storage and deletion of data, which applies primarily to the respective processing.

use of cookies

Cookies are text files that contain data from visited websites or domains and are stored by a browser on the user's computer. A cookie is primarily used to store information about a user during or after their visit to an online offering. The information stored can include, for example, the language settings on a website, the login status, a shopping cart or the location where a video was watched. The term “cookies” also includes other technologies that fulfill the same functions as cookies (e.g. when user information is stored using pseudonymous online identifiers, also referred to as “user IDs”).

The following cookie types and functions are distinguished:

  • Temporary cookies (also: session or session cookies): Temporary cookies are deleted at the latest after a user has left an online offer and closed their browser.
  • Permanent cookies: Permanent cookies remain stored even after the browser is closed. For example, the login status can be saved or preferred content can be displayed directly when the user visits a website again. The interests of users, which are used to measure reach or for marketing purposes, can also be stored in such a cookie.
  • First-party cookies: First-party cookies are set by us.
  • Third-party cookies (also: third-party cookies): Third-party cookies are mainly used by advertisers (so-called third parties) to process user information.
  • Necessary (also: essential or absolutely necessary) cookies: Cookies can, on the one hand, be absolutely necessary for the operation of a website (e.g. to save logins or other user input or for security reasons).
  • Statistics, marketing and personalization cookies: Cookies are also generally used as part of reach measurement and when the interests of a user or their behavior (e.g. viewing certain content, using functions, etc. ) are stored on individual websites in a user profile. Such profiles are used, for example, to show users content that corresponds to their potential interests. This process is also referred to as “tracking”, i.e. tracking the potential interests of users. If we use cookies or “tracking” technologies, we will inform you separately in our data protection declaration or when obtaining consent.

Notes on legal bases: The legal basis on which we process your personal data using cookies depends on whether we ask you for consent. If this is the case and you agree to the use of cookies, the legal basis for processing your data is the declared consent. Otherwise, the data processed using cookies will be processed on the basis of our legitimate interests (e.g. in the commercial operation of our online offering and its improvement) or if the use of cookies is necessary to fulfill our contractual obligations.

Storage period: Unless we provide you with explicit information about the storage period of permanent cookies (e.g. as part of a so-called cookie opt-in), please assume that the storage period is up to two can be years.

General Information on Revocation and Opposition (Opt-Out): Depending on whether the processing is based on consent or legal permission, you have the option to revoke any given consent or to object to the processing of your data through cookie technologies at any time (collectively referred to as "Opt-Out"). You can initially express your objection through your browser settings, for example, by disabling the use of cookies (which may also limit the functionality of our online services). An objection to the use of cookies for online marketing purposes can also be made through a variety of services, especially in the case of tracking, via the websites https://optout.aboutads.info and https://www.youronlinechoices.com/. Additionally, you can find further objection notices in the information provided about the service providers and cookies used.

Processing of cookie data based on consent: We use a cookie consent management procedure, in which the user's consent to the use of cookies, or as part of the cookie Processing and providers mentioned in the consent management process can be obtained and managed and revoked by users. The declaration of consent is saved so that it does not have to be asked again and to be able to prove consent in accordance with the legal obligation. The storage can take place on the server side and/or in a cookie (so-called opt-in cookie, or using comparable technologies) in order to be able to assign the consent to a user or their device. Subject to individual information about the providers of cookie management services, the following information applies: The duration of the storage of consent can be up to two years. Here, a pseudonymous user identifier is created and stored with the time of consent, information about the scope of the consent (e.g. which categories of cookies and/or service providers) as well as the browser, system and device used.

  • Types of data processed: Usage data (e.g. websites visited, interest in content, access times), meta/communication data (e.g. device information, IP addresses).

If registration of a customer account is required, contractual partners will be informed of this as well as the information required for registration. Customer accounts are not public and cannot be indexed by search engines. As part of the registration and subsequent logins and use of the customer account, we store the customers' IP addresses along with the access times in order to be able to prove registration and prevent any misuse of the customer account.

If customers have canceled their customer account, the data relating to the customer account will be deleted, unless their retention is required for legal reasons. It is the customer's responsibility to secure their data if the customer account is terminated.

Our newsletters also contain information about our services and us.

In order to register for our newsletters, it is generally sufficient to provide your email address. However, we may ask you to provide a name so that you can be addressed personally in the newsletter, or other information if this is necessary for the purposes of the newsletter.

Double opt-in procedure: Registration for our newsletter is generally carried out using a so-called double opt-in procedure. This means that after registering you will receive an email asking you to confirm your registration. This confirmation is necessary so that no one can log in with someone else's email address. Registrations for the newsletter are logged in order to be able to provide evidence of the registration process in accordance with legal requirements. This includes storing the registration and confirmation times as well as the IP address. Changes to your data stored by the shipping service provider are also logged.

Deletion and restriction of processing: We can store the unsubscribed email addresses for up to three years based on our legitimate interests before we delete them in order to be able to prove that we have previously given consent. The processing of this data is limited to the purpose of possible defense against claims. An individual request for deletion is possible at any time, provided that the previous existence of consent is confirmed at the same time. In the event of obligations to permanently observe contradictions, we reserve the right to store the email address in a blacklist (so-called “blocklist”) solely for this purpose.

If we commission a service provider to send emails, this is done on the basis of our legitimate interests. The registration process is recorded based on our legitimate interests to demonstrate that it was carried out in accordance with the law.

Content: Information about us, our services, promotions and offers.

Measuring open and click rates:

The newsletters contain a so-called "web beacon", i.e. a pixel-sized file that is retrieved from our server when the newsletter is opened or, if we use a shipping service provider, from its server. As part of this retrieval, technical information, such as information about the browser and your system, as well as your IP address and the time of access.

This information is used to technically improve our newsletter based on the technical data or the target groups and their reading behavior based on their access locations (which can be determined using the IP address) or access times. This analysis also includes determining whether the newsletters are opened, when they are opened and which ones TmV3c2xldHRlcmVtcGbDpG5nZXJu enVnZW9yZG5ldA== dW5k aW4= ZGVyZW4= UHJvZmlsZW4= Ymlz enU= ZGVyZW4= TMO2c2NodW5n Z2VzcGVpY2hlcnQu RGll QXVzd2VydHVuZ2Vu ZGllbmVu dW5z ZGF6dSw= ZGll TGVzZWdld29obmhlaXRlbg== dW5zZXJlcg== TnV0emVy enU= ZXJrZW5uZW4= dW5k dW5zZXJl SW5oYWx0ZQ== YW4= c2ll YW56dXBhc3Nlbg== b2Rlcg== dW50ZXJzY2hpZWRsaWNoZQ== SW5oYWx0ZQ== ZW50c3ByZWNoZW5k ZGVu SW50ZXJlc3Nlbg== dW5zZXJlcg== TnV0emVy enU= dmVyc2VuZGVuLgoKRGll TWVzc3VuZw== ZGVy w5ZmZm51bmdzcmF0ZW4= dW5k ZGVy S2xpY2tyYXRlbg== c293aWU= U3BlaWNoZXJ1bmc= ZGVy TWVzc2VyZ2Vibmlzc2U= aW4= ZGVu UHJvZmlsZW4= ZGVy TnV0emVy c293aWU= ZGVyZW4= d2VpdGVyZQ== VmVyYXJiZWl0dW5n ZXJmb2xnZW4= YXVm R3J1bmRsYWdl ZWluZXI= RWlud2lsbGlndW5n ZGVy TnV0emVyLg== CgpFaW4= Z2V0cmVubnRlcg== V2lkZXJydWY= ZGVy RXJmb2xnc21lc3N1bmc= aXN0 bGVpZGVy bmljaHQ= bcO2Z2xpY2gs aW4= ZGllc2Vt RmFsbA== bXVzcw== ZGFz Z2VzYW10ZQ== TmV3c2xldHRlcmFib25uZW1lbnQ= Z2Vrw7xuZGlndCw= Ynp3Lg== bXVzcw== aWht d2lkZXJzcHJvY2hlbg== d2VyZGVuLg== SW4= ZGllc2Vt RmFsbA== d2VyZGVu ZGll Z2VzcGVpY2hlcnRlbg== UHJvZmlsaW5mb3JtYXRpb25lbg== Z2Vsw7ZzY2h0Lgo=

Advertising communication via email, post, fax or telephone

We process personal data for the purposes of advertising communication, which can take place via various channels, such as email, telephone, post or fax, in accordance with legal requirements.

The recipients have the right to revoke their consent at any time or to object to the advertising communication at any time.

After revocation or objection, we can store the data required to prove consent for up to three years based on our legitimate interests before deleting it. The processing of this data is limited to the purpose of possible defense against claims.

Web analysis, monitoring and optimization

Web analysis (also referred to as “reach measurement”) is used to evaluate the flow of visitors to our online offering and can include behavior, interests or demographic information about visitors, such as age or gender, as pseudonymous values. With the help of reach analysis, we can, for example, identify at what time our online offering or its functions or content are used most frequently or invite reuse. We can also understand which areas require optimization.

In addition to web analysis, we can also use testing procedures, for example to test and optimize different versions of our online offering or its components.

For these purposes, so-called user profiles can be created and stored in a file (so-called “cookie”) or similar procedures can be used for the same purpose. This information may include, for example, content viewed, websites visited and elements used there and technical information such as the browser used, the computer system used and information about times of use. If users have consented to the collection of their location data, this can also be processed, depending on the provider.

The users’ IP addresses are also stored. However, we use an IP masking process (i.e. pseudonymization by shortening the IP address) to protect users. In general, as part of web analysis, A/B testing and optimization, no clear user data (such as email addresses or names) is stored, but rather pseudonyms. This means that we and the providers of the software used do not know the actual identity of the users, but only the information stored in their profiles for the purposes of the respective procedures.

Notes on legal bases: If we ask users for their consent to the use of third-party providers, the legal basis for processing data is consent. Otherwise, user data will be processed based on our legitimate interests (i.e. interest in efficient, economical and recipient-friendly services). In this context, we would also like to draw your attention to the information on the use of cookies in this data protection declaration.

  • Types of data processed: Usage data (e.g. websites visited, interest in content, access times), meta/communication data (e.g. device information, IP addresses).
  • Affected persons: Users (e.g. website visitors, users of online services).
  • Purposes of processing: Reach measurement (e.g. access statistics, recognition of returning visitors), profiles with user-related information (creation of user profiles).
  • Security measures: IP masking (pseudonymization of the IP address).
  • Legal basis: Consent (Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. a. GDPR), legitimate interests (Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. f. GDPR).

online marketing

We process personal data for online marketing purposes, which may include, in particular, the marketing of advertising space or the presentation of advertising and other content (collectively referred to as "content") based on the potential interests of users and the measurement of their effectiveness.

For these purposes, so-called user profiles are created and stored in a file (so-called “cookie”) or similar processes are used, by means of which the user information relevant to the display of the aforementioned content is stored. This information may include, for example, content viewed, websites visited, online networks used, but also communication partners and technical information such as the browser used, the computer system used and information about times of use. If users have consented to the collection of their location data, this can also be processed.

The users’ IP addresses are also stored. However, we use available IP masking procedures (i.e. pseudonymization by shortening the IP address) to protect users. In general, as part of the online marketing process, no clear user data (such as e-mail addresses or names) is stored, but rather pseudonyms. This means that we as well as the providers of online marketing processes do not know the actual identity of the users, but only the information stored in their profiles.

The information in the profiles is usually stored in cookies or using similar methods. These cookies can later generally be read on other websites that use the same online marketing process, analyzed for the purposes of displaying content, and supplemented with further data and stored on the server of the online marketing process provider.

In exceptional cases, clear data can be assigned to the profiles. This is the case, for example, if the users are members of a social network whose online marketing processes we use and the network connects the users' profiles with the aforementioned information. We ask you to note that users can make additional agreements with the providers, e.g. by giving consent during registration.

We generally only receive access to aggregated information about the success of our advertisements. However, as part of so-called conversion measurements, we can check which of our online marketing processes have led to a so-called conversion, i.e., for example, to the conclusion of a contract with us. Conversion measurement is used solely to analyze the success of our marketing measures.

Unless otherwise stated, we ask you to assume that cookies used will be stored for a period of two years.

Notes on legal bases: If we ask users for their consent to the use of third-party providers, the legal basis for processing data is consent. Otherwise, user data will be processed based on our legitimate interests (i.e. interest in efficient, economical and recipient-friendly services). In this context, we would also like to draw your attention to the information on the use of cookies in this data protection declaration.

Facebook pixels and target group formation (Custom Audiences):

With the help of the Facebook Pixel (or comparable functions for transmitting event data or contact information via interfaces in apps), Facebook is able to identify visitors to our online offerings as a target group for displaying ads (so-called "Facebook Ads"). Accordingly, we use the Facebook Pixel to display the Facebook Ads we run only to those users on Facebook and within the services of partners cooperating with Facebook (the so-called "Audience Network" https://www.facebook.com/audiencenetwork/) who have also shown interest in our online offerings or who exhibit certain characteristics (e.g., interest in specific topics or products that can be inferred from the visited websites) that we transmit to Facebook (so-called "Custom Audiences"). With the help of the Facebook Pixel, we also want to ensure that our Facebook Ads correspond to the potential interest of users and do not appear intrusive. Furthermore, with the help of the Facebook Pixel, we can track the effectiveness of Facebook advertising for statistical and market research purposes by seeing whether TnV0emVy bmFjaA== ZGVt S2xpY2s= YXVm ZWluZQ== RmFjZWJvb2stV2VyYmVhbnplaWdl YXVm dW5zZXJl V2Vic2VpdGU= d2VpdGVyZ2VsZWl0ZXQ= d3VyZGVu KHNvZ2VuYW5udGU= IktvbnZlcnNpb25zbWVzc3VuZ+KAnCkuCgpXaXI= c2luZA== Z2VtZWluc2Ft bWl0 RmFjZWJvb2s= SXJsYW5k THRkLg== ZsO8cg== ZGll RXJoZWJ1bmc= b2Rlcg== ZGVu RXJoYWx0 aW0= UmFobWVu ZWluZXI= w5xiZXJtaXR0bHVuZw== KGplZG9jaA== bmljaHQ= ZGll d2VpdGVyZQ== VmVyYXJiZWl0dW5nKQ== dm9u IkV2ZW50LURhdGVuIiw= ZGll RmFjZWJvb2s= bWl0dGVscw== ZGVz RmFjZWJvb2stUGl4ZWxz dW5k dmVyZ2xlaWNoYmFyZXI= RnVua3Rpb25lbg== KHou Qi4= U2Nobml0dHN0ZWxsZW4pLA== ZGll YXVm dW5zZXJlbQ== T25saW5lYW5nZWJvdA== YXVzZ2Vmw7xocnQ= d2VyZGVuLA== ZXJoZWJ0 b2Rlcg== aW0= UmFobWVu ZWluZXI= w5xiZXJtaXR0bHVuZw== enU= Zm9sZ2VuZGVu WndlY2tlbg== ZXJow6RsdCw= Z2VtZWluc2Ft dmVyYW50d29ydGxpY2g6 YSk= QW56ZWlnZQ== dm9u SW5oYWx0ZW4= V2VyYmVpbmZvcm1hdGlvbmVuLA== ZGll ZGVu bXV0bWHDn2xpY2hlbg== SW50ZXJlc3Nlbg== ZGVy TnV0emVy ZW50c3ByZWNoZW47 Yik= WnVzdGVsbHVuZw== a29tbWVyemllbGxlcg== dW5k dHJhbnNha3Rpb25zYmV6b2dlbmVy TmFjaHJpY2h0ZW4= KHou Qi4= QW5zcHJhY2hl dm9u TnV0emVybg== dmlh RmFjZWJvb2stTWVzc2VuZ2VyKTs= Yyk= VmVyYmVzc2VydW5n ZGVy QW56ZWlnZW5hdXNsaWVmZXJ1bmc= dW5k UGVyc29uYWxpc2llcnVuZw== dm9u RnVua3Rpb25lbg== dW5k SW5oYWx0ZW4= KHou Qi4= VmVyYmVzc2VydW5n ZGVy RXJrZW5udW5nLA== d2VsY2hl SW5oYWx0ZQ== b2Rlcg== V2VyYmVpbmZvcm1hdGlvbmVu bXV0bWHDn2xpY2g= ZGVu SW50ZXJlc3Nlbg== ZGVy TnV0emVy ZW50c3ByZWNoZW4pLg== V2ly aGFiZW4= bWl0 RmFjZWJvb2s= ZWluZQ== c3BlemllbGxl VmVyZWluYmFydW5n YWJnZXNjaGxvc3Nlbg== KCJadXNhdHo= ZsO8cg== VmVyYW50d29ydGxpY2hlIiw= PGE= aHJlZj0iaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZmFjZWJvb2suY29tL2xlZ2FsL2NvbnRyb2xsZXJfYWRkZW5kdW0i dGFyZ2V0PSJfYmxhbmsiPmh0dHBzOi8vd3d3LmZhY2Vib29rLmNvbS9sZWdhbC9jb250cm9sbGVyX2FkZGVuZHVtPC9hPiks aW4= ZGVy aW5zYmVzb25kZXJl Z2VyZWdlbHQ= d2lyZCw= d2VsY2hl U2ljaGVyaGVpdHNtYcOfbmFobWVu RmFjZWJvb2s= YmVhY2h0ZW4= bXVzcw== KDxh aHJlZj0iaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZmFjZWJvb2suY29tL2xlZ2FsL3Rlcm1zL2RhdGFfc2VjdXJpdHlfdGVybXMi dGFyZ2V0PSJfYmxhbmsiPmh0dHBzOi8vd3d3LmZhY2Vib29rLmNvbS9sZWdhbC90ZXJtcy9kYXRhX3NlY3VyaXR5X3Rlcm1zPC9hPik= dW5k aW4= ZGVy RmFjZWJvb2s= c2ljaA== YmVyZWl0 ZXJrbMOkcnQ= aGF0 ZGll QmV0cm9mZmVuZW5yZWNodGU= enU= ZXJmw7xsbGVu KGQu aC4= TnV0emVy a8O2bm5lbg== ei4= Qi4= QXVza8O8bmZ0ZQ== b2Rlcg== TMO2c2NodW5nc2FuZnJhZ2Vu ZGlyZWt0 YW4= RmFjZWJvb2s= cmljaHRlbiku SGlud2Vpczo= V2Vubg== RmFjZWJvb2s= dW5z TWVzc3dlcnRlLA== QW5hbHlzZW4= dW5k QmVyaWNodGU= YmVyZWl0c3RlbGx0 KGRpZQ== YWdncmVnaWVydA== c2luZCw= ZC4= aC4= a2VpbmU= QW5nYWJlbg== enU= ZWluemVsbmVu TnV0emVybg== ZXJoYWx0ZW4= dW5k ZsO8cg== dW5z YW5vbnlt c2luZCks ZGFubg== ZXJmb2xndA== ZGllc2U= VmVyYXJiZWl0dW5n bmljaHQ= aW0= UmFobWVu ZGVy Z2VtZWluc2FtZW4= VmVyYW50d29ydGxpY2hrZWl0LA== c29uZGVybg== YXVm R3J1bmRsYWdl ZWluZXM= QXVmdHJhZ3N2ZXJhcmJlaXR1bmdzdmVydHJhZ2VzKCJEYXRlbnZlcmFyYmVpdHVuZ3NiZWRpbmd1bmdlbg== Iiw= PGE= aHJlZj0iaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZmFjZWJvb2suY29tL2xlZ2FsL3Rlcm1zL2RhdGFwcm9jZXNzaW5nIg== dGFyZ2V0PSJfYmxhbmsiPmh0dHBzOi8vd3d3LmZhY2Vib29rLmNvbS9sZWdhbC90ZXJtcy9kYXRhcHJvY2Vzc2luZzwvYT4p LA== ZGVy IkRhdGVuc2ljaGVyaGVpdHNiZWRpbmd1bmdlbiI= KDxh aHJlZj0iaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZmFjZWJvb2suY29tL2xlZ2FsL3Rlcm1zL2RhdGFfc2VjdXJpdHlfdGVybXMi dGFyZ2V0PSJfYmxhbmsiPmh0dHBzOi8vd3d3LmZhY2Vib29rLmNvbS9sZWdhbC90ZXJtcy9kYXRhX3NlY3VyaXR5X3Rlcm1zPC9hPik= c293aWU= aW0= SGluYmxpY2s= YXVm ZGll VmVyYXJiZWl0dW5n aW4= ZGVu VVNB YXVm R3J1bmRsYWdl dm9u U3RhbmRhcmR2ZXJ0cmFnc2tsYXVzZWxuKCJGYWNlYm9vay1FVS1EYXRlbsO8YmVybWl0dGx1bmdzenVzYXR6LA== PGE= aHJlZj0iaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZmFjZWJvb2suY29tL2xlZ2FsL0VVX2RhdGFfdHJhbnNmZXJfYWRkZW5kdW0i dGFyZ2V0PSJfYmxhbmsiPmh0dHBzOi8vd3d3LmZhY2Vib29rLmNvbS9sZWdhbC9FVV9kYXRhX3RyYW5zZmVyX2FkZGVuZHVtPC9hPiku RGll UmVjaHRl ZGVy TnV0emVy KGluc2Jlc29uZGVyZQ== YXVm QXVza3VuZnQs TMO2c2NodW5nLA== V2lkZXJzcHJ1Y2g= dW5k QmVzY2h5ZXJkZQ== YmVp enVzdMOkbmRpZ2Vy QXVmc2ljaHRzYmVow7ZyZGUpLA== d2VyZGVu ZHVyY2g= ZGll VmVyZWluYmFydW5nZW4= bWl0 RmFjZWJvb2s= bmljaHQ= ZWluZ2VzY2hyw6Rua3Qu .

Presence in social networks (Social Media)

We maintain online presences within social networks and process user data in this context in order to communicate with active users there or to offer information about us.

We would like to point out that user data may be processed outside the European Union. This can result in risks for users because, for example, it could make it more difficult to enforce users' rights.

Furthermore, user data within social networks is usually processed for market research and advertising purposes. For example, usage profiles can be created based on usage behavior and the resulting interests of users. The usage profiles can in turn be used, for example, to place advertisements within and outside the networks that presumably correspond to the interests of the users. For these purposes, cookies are usually stored on the users' computers, in which the usage behavior and interests of the users are stored. Furthermore, data can also be stored in the usage profiles regardless of the devices used by the users (particularly if the users are members of the respective platforms and are logged in to them).

For a detailed description of the respective forms of processing and the options for objection (opt-out), we refer to the data protection declarations and information provided by the operators of the respective networks.

In the case of requests for information and the assertion of the rights of those affected, we would also like to point out that these can most effectively be asserted with the providers. Only the providers have access to user data and can take appropriate measures and provide information directly. If you still need help, you can contact us.

Facebook: We are jointly responsible with Facebook Ireland Ltd. for the collection (but not the further processing) of data from visitors to our Facebook page (so-called "Fanpage"). This data includes information about the types of content that users view or interact with, or actions they take (see under "Things you and others have done and provided" in the Facebook Data Policy: https://www.facebook.com/policy), as well as information about the devices used by the users (e.g., IP addresses, operating system, browser type, language settings, cookie data; see under "Device Information" in the Facebook Data Policy statement: https://www.facebook.com/policy). As explained in the Facebook Data Policy under "How do we use this information?", Facebook also collects and uses information to provide analytics services, so-called "Page Insights", for page operators, so that they gain insights into how people interact with their pages and the content associated with them. We have entered into a special agreement with Facebook ("Information on Page Insights", https://www.facebook.com/legal/terms/page_controller_addendum), which specifically regulates the security measures that Facebook must observe and in which Facebook has agreed to fulfill the rights of the affected individuals (i.e., users can, for example, direct requests for information or deletion directly to Facebook). The rights of users (in particular, the right to information, deletion, objection, and complaint to the competent supervisory authority) are not restricted by the agreements with Facebook.

We include functional and content elements in our online offering that are obtained from the servers of their respective providers (hereinafter referred to as “third-party providers”). These can be, for example, graphics, videos or city maps (hereinafter referred to as “content” ).

The integration always requires that the third party providers of this content process the users' IP address, as without the IP address they would not be able to send the content to their browser. The IP address is therefore required to display this content or functions. We strive to only use content whose respective providers only use the IP address to deliver the content. Third parties may also use so-called pixel tags (invisible graphics, also known as “web beacons”) for statistical or marketing purposes. The “pixel tags” can be used to evaluate information such as visitor traffic on the pages of this website. The pseudonymous information can also be stored in cookies on the user's device and may contain, among other things, technical information about the browser and operating system, referring websites, the time of visit and other information about the use of our online offering, as well as being linked to such information from other sources.

Notes on legal bases: If we ask users for their consent to the use of third-party providers, the legal basis for processing data is consent. Otherwise, user data will be processed based on our legitimate interests (i.e. interest in efficient, economical and recipient-friendly services). In this context, we would also like to draw your attention to the information on the use of cookies in this data protection declaration.

We have entered into a special agreement with Facebook ("Addendum for Controllers", https://www.facebook.com/legal/controller_addendum), which particularly regulates what security measures Facebook must observe (https://www.facebook.com/legal/terms/data_security_terms) and in which Facebook has agreed to fulfill the rights of the affected parties (i.e., users can, for example, direct inquiries or deletion requests directly to Facebook). Note: If Facebook provides us with metrics, analyses, and reports (which are aggregated, i.e., do not contain information about individual users and are anonymous to us), this processing does not occur within the framework of joint responsibility, but on the basis of a data processing agreement ("Data Processing Terms", https://www.facebook.com/legal/terms/dataprocessing), the "Data Security Terms" (https://www.facebook.com/legal/terms/data_security_terms), and with regard to processing in the USA based on standard contractual clauses ("Facebook-EU Data Transfer Addendum", https://www.facebook.com/legal/EU_data_transfer_addendum). The rights of users (in particular, the right to information, deletion, objection, and complaint to the competent supervisory authority) are not restricted by the agreements with Facebook.

definitions of terms

This section provides an overview of the terms used in this data protection declaration. Many of the terms are taken from the law and are defined primarily in Article 4 GDPR. The legal definitions are binding. The following explanations, on the other hand, are intended primarily to provide understanding. The terms are sorted alphabetically.

  • IP masking: “IP masking” is a method in which the last octet, i.e. the last two numbers of an IP address, is deleted so that the IP address is no longer the can serve to clearly identify a person. Therefore, IP masking is a means of pseudonymizing processing procedures, especially in online marketing
  • Conversion measurement: Conversion measurement (also known as “visit action evaluation”) is a procedure that can be used to determine the effectiveness of marketing measures. For this purpose, a cookie is usually stored on the users' devices within the websites on which the marketing measures take place and then accessed again on the target website. For example, we can understand whether the advertisements we placed on other websites were successful.
  • Personal data: “Personal data” means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (hereinafter “data subject”); A natural person is considered identifiable if he or she can be identified directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier (e.g. cookie) or one or more special features, which are an expression of the physical, physiological, genetic, psychological, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person.
  • Profiles with user-related information: The processing of "profiles with user-related information", or "profiles" for short, includes any type of automated processing of personal data, which consists in the use of these personal data to carry out certain personal aspects that relate to a natural person (depending on the type of profile creation, this may include different information regarding demographics, behavior and interests, such as interaction with websites and their content, etc.), to analyze, evaluate or predict them (e.g. interests in certain content or products, click behavior on a website or whereabouts). Cookies and web beacons are often used for profiling purposes.
  • Reach measurement: Reach measurement (also known as web analytics) is used to evaluate the flow of visitors to an online offering and can include the behavior or interests of visitors in certain information, such as the content of websites. With the help of reach analysis, website owners can, for example, identify at what time visitors visit their website and what content they are interested in. This allows you, for example, to better adapt the content of the website to the needs of your visitors. For the purposes of reach analysis, pseudonymous cookies and web beacons are often used to recognize returning visitors and thus obtain more precise analyzes of the use of an online offering.
  • Remarketing: "Remarketing" or "retargeting" is used when, for example, for advertising purposes, it is noted which products a user was interested in on a website in order to direct the user to these products on other websites. e.g. in advertisements.
  • Controller: The “controller” is the natural or legal person, authority, institution or other body that alone or jointly with others decides on the purposes and means of processing personal data.
  • Processing: “Processing” means any operation or series of operations carried out with or without the aid of automated procedures in connection with personal data. The term is wide-ranging and includes practically every handling of data, be it collecting, evaluating, storing, transmitting or deleting.
  • Target group formation: Target group formation (or "custom audiences") is when target groups are determined for advertising purposes, e.g. displaying advertisements. For example, based on a user's interest in certain products or topics on the Internet it can be concluded that this user is interested in advertisements for similar products or the online shop in which he viewed the products From “Lookalike Audiences” (or similar target groups) is when the content deemed suitable is displayed to users whose profiles or interests presumably correspond to the users for whom the profiles were created. Cookies and web beacons are usually used for the purpose of forming custom audiences and lookalike audiences.
