Google Analytics

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Ltd (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland; hereinafter: “Google”), which uses cookies. Cookies are text files that are stored on your computer and enable your use of the website to be analysed. The information generated by cookies about your use of this website is usually transmitted to a Google server in the European Union (EU) or the European Economic Area (EEA). However, as this website uses IP anonymisation, your IP address will first be truncated by Google within member states of the European Union or in other states party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area.

In exceptional cases, the full IP address is transmitted to a Google server in the USA and truncated there. Google uses this information on behalf of the operator of this website to analyse your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide the website operator with other services relating to website activity and internet usage. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.

Data is only collected as part of this service after you have given your express consent. The legal basis for this is Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR in conjunction with s. 25 (1) TDDDG. You have the right to withdraw your consent at any time for further processing in the future. The legality of the data processing until the revocation remains unaffected.

The purpose of the survey is to analyse the use of our website. Furthermore, the use of Google Analytics enables us to create reports on website activities and thus improve our Internet presence. In addition to us, Google is to be named as the recipient of the data.

The data is deleted as soon as it is no longer required for our recording purposes. You can prevent the collection of your data by Google Analytics at any time, even after you have given your consent.

The data transfer by Google to the USA is based on the EU standard contractual clauses, details of which can be found here: https://privacy.google.com/businesses/controllerterms/mccs/

Google is therefore also to be named as the recipient of the data. When Google Maps is used, information about the use of our website is transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. The information collected and transmitted includes your IP address and your location, if the settings of your end device allow localisation. When Google Maps is activated, Google Fonts fonts are loaded into your browser cache in order to display the relevant texts and fonts as intended.

It is possible to block connections to fonts.googleapis.com using your operating system or a suitable browser add-on. The use of our website may then only be possible to a limited extent. The data will be deleted as soon as you leave our website.

The purpose of the collection is a standardised presentation of fonts and icons offered by Google Fonts.

Google reCAPTCHA

This website uses the Google reCAPTCHA service, operated by Google Ireland Ltd (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland; hereinafter: “Google”), which protects the website from spam and abuse.

The reCAPTCHA service is intended to prevent abusive activities from being carried out by automated software on the website. This is ensured by checking whether the entries actually originate from a natural person.

Data such as the address of the page on which the captcha is used, the user’s IP address, the user’s input behaviour (e.g. answering the reCAPTCHA question, input speed in the form fields, the order in which the input fields are selected, etc.) as well as the browser, browser size and resolution, browser plug-ins, date, language setting, the display instructions (CSS) and scripts (JavaScript) of the website and the mouse or touch events within the website are collected and processed for verification purposes. If the website user is logged in to Google, the Google account is also recognised and assigned. Cookies from other Google services such as Gmail, Search and Analytics are also read by Google in this case. Data that is collected and stored when Google reCAPTCHA is used is sent to Google in encrypted form. Whether the captcha is displayed on the page in the form of a checkbox or by entering text is decided by Google’s subsequent analysis. No personal data is read or saved from the input fields of the respective form.

The legal basis for the use of reCAPTCHA is Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR and s. 25 (1) TDDDG, provided that the consent within the meaning of the TTDSG relates to the setting of cookies or access to information on your terminal device.

Google Tag Manager

Our website uses Google Tag Manager, a service provided by Google Ireland Ltd (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland; hereinafter: “Google”). This allows us to manage website tags via an interface. Google Tag Manager triggers other tags, which in turn may collect data. Google Tag Manager does not access this data.

Privacy Policy for Social Media

We would like to get in touch with you and other interested parties, customers and users. We use various social networks for this purpose. You can find out which individual social networks we use in the following section.

As a rule, data is collected which is used for market research and advertising purposes. Such data includes the assignment of your visit to our website to your user account with the social network or the assignment by means of your stored cookies or your IP address. This is usually done by creating user profiles and the resulting interests. This makes it possible to display customised advertising, both within and outside the social network. As a result, cookies may be stored on your computer when you use social networks. However, we would like to point out that we generally have no influence on what data is collected.

Through our social media presence, we would like to provide you with information in the simplest and fastest way possible or give you the opportunity to share such information. Therefore, unless you have consented to data processing on the respective platform, the legal basis is our legitimate interest in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR.  If you have given your consent on the respective platform, your consent is the legal basis for processing in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR and s. 25 (1) TDDDG, insofar as the consent within the meaning of the TDDDG relates to the setting of cookies or access to information on your terminal device. You have the right to withdraw your consent at any time for further processing in the future. The legality of the data processing up to the point of revocation remains unaffected.

If you revoke your consent, ask us to delete your data or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies, we will delete your data unless this is contrary to mandatory legal provisions. Cookies stored by you will remain on your end device until you delete them.

The data processed as a result of your visit to our presence on social media websites is classified as data processing initiated by us and is therefore subject to joint responsibility with the operator of the social media website in accordance with Art. 26 GDPR. Joint controllership is limited to those processing operations where the purpose and means of processing are decided jointly. If you wish to assert your rights as a data subject, you can do so both vis-à-vis us and vis-à-vis the operator of the social media website.

Furthermore, we would like to point out that your data may also be processed outside the European Union and that you therefore run the risk of not being able to enforce your rights properly.

You have the right to receive information about the origin, recipient and purpose of your stored personal data free of charge at any time. In addition, you have the right to object, the right to data portability and the right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority. You can also request the rectification, blocking, erasure and, under certain circumstances, the restriction of the processing of your personal data.

The purpose of this is to be able to use this information again at a later date. The cookie remains active for a period of two years if it is not deleted. Further information from Facebook on the use of cookies can be found in the Facebook cookie policy at https://de-de.facebook.com/policies/cookies/. These user statistics are transmitted exclusively in anonymised form and there is no possibility for us to access the underlying data.

If you have consented to data processing on Facebook, your consent is the legal basis for processing in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR and s. 25 (1) TDDDG, insofar as the consent within the meaning of the TDDDG relates to the setting of cookies or access to information on your terminal device.
