PRIVACY POLICY

We take the protection of your personal data very seriously. Therefore, we process your data exclusively on the basis of the legal provisions and only for our own purposes. In this declaration we inform you about which data we store, how we process it and what rights and claims you are entitled to under data protection regulations.

If you visit our website without providing any personal information, we will not store any personal data. If our websites provide the option to provide personal or business data (e.g. names, email addresses, addresses, telephone numbers, etc.), this information is provided on an expressly voluntary basis.

Below we inform you about the details of data protection:

The European Commission provides a platform for online dispute resolution (ODR), which you can find here

https://ec.europa.eu/consumers/odr/

RESPONSIBLE PERSON IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE GDPR AND THE BDSG

Please refer to our imprint for the person responsible. You can access our imprint from every page of our website by following the link to - Imprint - in the footer.

You can contact the person responsible at the following email address:

1. THE REASONS FOR DATA COLLECTION

We collect and process your data to provide our website and to provide you with the best possible service by providing convenient access to our services.

2. WHICH DATA IS COLLECTED, PROCESSED OR USED?

2.1 VISITING OUR WEBSITE

When you access our websites, our servers automatically record information of a general nature, in particular for the purpose of establishing a connection, functionality and system security. This includes the type of browser used, the operating system used, the domain name of the Internet service provider, the connection data of the computer used (IP address), the website from which you visit us (referrer URL), the pages you visit on our site and the date and duration of the visit. Due to pseudonymization, it is not possible for us to draw conclusions about specific people from this data. This data is not merged with other data sources.

2.2 CONTACT FORM

If you contact us via a contact form, personal data will be collected. Which data is collected in each case can be found in the contact form. The data will be stored for the purpose of processing your request. Mandatory information is marked with an asterisk (*). All other information is voluntary. We delete the data collected in connection with the contact form once storage is no longer required or restrict processing if statutory retention periods apply. The legal basis for processing your personal data is Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR if it concerns contacting you in the context of concluding a contract. Furthermore, it is our legitimate interest to answer your inquiries, so in this case Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR is the legal basis.

2.3 INTEGRATION OF GOOGLE MAPS

We use Google Maps on this website. This enables us to show you interactive maps directly on the website and enables you to conveniently use the map function. When you visit the website, Google receives the information that you have accessed the corresponding subpage of our website. In addition, the IP address, date and time of the request, time zone difference to Greenwich Mean Time (GMT), content of the request (specific page), access status/HTTP status code, amount of data transferred, website from which the request comes, browser, operating system and its interface, language and version of the browser software are transmitted. This occurs regardless of whether Google provides a user account through which you are logged in or whether no user account exists. If you are logged in to Google, your data will be assigned directly to your account. If you do not want to be assigned to your Google profile, you must log out before activating the button. Google stores your data as usage profiles and uses them for the purposes of advertising, market research and/or needs-based design of its website. Such an evaluation is carried out in particular (even for users who are not logged in) to provide needs-based advertising and to inform other users of the social network about your activities on our website.

You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles, and you must contact Google to exercise this right.

Further information on the purpose and scope of data collection and processing by the plug-in provider can be found in the provider's privacy policy. There you will also find further information on your rights in this regard and setting options for protecting your privacy: http://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy. Google also processes your personal data in the USA and has submitted to the EU-US Privacy Shield, https://www.privacyshield.gov/EU-US-Framework.

The legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 (1) lit. f) GDPR.

3. DELETION

Personal data will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose for which it was stored no longer applies or you request deletion. Data will also be deleted if a storage period prescribed by the standard mentioned expires, unless there is a need to continue storing the data for the conclusion or fulfillment of a contract or you have given your consent to this.

4. COOKIES

Our website uses so-called cookies to improve your website experience, to make our service user-friendly and to enable the use of certain functions. These are small text files that are stored on your device with the help of the browser. Some of these cookies are deleted when you close your browser (session cookies), others remain stored on your device until you delete them yourself. They enable us to recognize your browser the next time you visit (persistent cookies). If you do not want this, you can set your browser so that it informs you about the setting of cookies and you only allow this in individual cases. If cookies are deactivated, the functionality of our website may be restricted.

If cookies are set, they collect and process certain user information such as browser and location data as well as IP address values. Persistent cookies are automatically deleted after a specified period of time, which can vary depending on the cookie.

If personal data is also processed through individual cookies, this is done in accordance with Art. 6 Paragraph 1 Letter f of GDPR to protect our legitimate interest in the best possible functionality of the website and to make the site visit as customer-friendly and effective as possible. Each browser differs in the way it manages cookie settings. This is described in the help menu of each browser, which explains how you can change your cookie settings. You can find these for the respective browsers under the following links:

Internet Explorer: http://windows.microsoft.com/de-DE/windows-vista/Block-or-allow-cookies

Firefox: https://support.mozilla.org/de/kb/cookies-erlauben-und-ablehnen

The legal basis for the processing of cookies is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR.

For information about Google Analytics cookies, see Section 7.

5. DATA SECURITY

We take all necessary precautions to protect your personal data. We use technical and organizational measures to protect our website and other systems against loss, destruction, access, alteration or distribution of your data by unauthorized persons. Depending on the browser used, data is transmitted using 128-bit to 256-bit SSL encryption. This means that the data is unreadable for outsiders. You can actively support us in our efforts to ensure your data security by never sharing your password and using a browser that supports SSL encryption.

Despite regular checks and continuous improvement of our security measures, complete protection against all risks is not possible.

6. USE OF SOCIAL MEDIA PLUG-INS

6.1 USE OF FACEBOOK PLUGINS AND THE “F” BUTTON

Our websites may use plug-ins from the social network facebook.com, which is operated by Facebook Inc., 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA (“Facebook”). The plug-ins can be recognized by one of the Facebook logos (white “f” on a blue tile or a “thumbs up” sign) or are marked with the addition “Facebook Social Plugin”. The list and appearance of the Facebook Social Plugins can be viewed here: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/. When you visit a page on our website that has such a plug-in, a connection is established to the Facebook servers and the plug-in is displayed on the website by sending a message to your browser. This transmits to the Facebook server which of our websites you have visited. We have no influence on the extent of the data that Facebook collects using this plug-in and therefore informs users according to its level of knowledge.

If you are already logged in as a member of Facebook during this activity, Facebook assigns this information to your personal Facebook user account. When you use the plug-in functions (for example by clicking the "Like" button or leaving a comment), this information is also assigned to your Facebook account. You can only prevent this by logging out before using the plug-in. The purpose and scope of data collection and the further processing and use of the data by Facebook as well as the related rights and setting options for protecting the privacy of users can be found in Facebook's data protection information: https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/ or https://www.facebook.com/policy.php.

If you do not want Facebook to assign the collected information directly to your Facebook profile, you must either log out of Facebook before visiting our site or block the loading of Facebook plug-ins on our websites by using a "Facebook blocker" (e.g. with the "Facebook Blocker" (http://webgraph.com/resources/facebookblocker/). You can find additional information on the collection and use of data by Facebook, your rights in this regard and options for protecting your privacy in Facebook's privacy policy.

Note: If an "f" button is displayed in the top menu or in the footer of our website (white f on a blue background or blue f on a white background), this is not a Facebook plug-in button, but simply a link to our company's Facebook page. When you visit this page, the above-mentioned data may be collected by Facebook.

6.2 USE OF GOOGLE PLUGNS AND THE GOOGLE “ 1” BUTTON

Our websites may use the “ 1” button of the social network Google Plus of Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, California, 94043 USA, (hereinafter “Google”).

When you visit a website with the " 1" button, a connection is established to Google servers in the USA. The content of the " 1" button is sent by Google directly to your browser, which integrates it into the website. We therefore have no influence on the extent of the data that Google collects with the button. According to Google, no personal data is collected without clicking on the button. Such data, including the IP address, is only collected and processed for logged-in members. If you are also a member of Google Plus and are logged into Google Plus at the time you use the plug-in, the information collected about your visit to the website is linked to your Google Plus account and made known to other users. The corresponding information about you is also collected, transmitted to Google and stored in the event of interactions with the various Google plug-ins.

You can find an overview of the different types of Google plug-ins here: https://developers.google.com/ /plugins. The purpose and scope of data collection and the further processing and use of the data by Google as well as your rights and setting options for protecting your privacy can be found in Google's privacy policy for the " 1" button: https://developers.google.com/ /web/buttons-policy and http://www.google.com/intl/de/ /learnmore/ 1/.

If you have made your profile publicly accessible in the Google Plus settings, your " 1" can be displayed by Google as a reference together with your profile name and profile picture in Google services on the Internet. This applies to other Google services such as your Google profile, search results or other places on websites and advertisements on the Internet. You can deactivate the function at any time by clicking on the "Deactivate Google " button. You can also completely prevent the Google plug-in from loading with add-ons for your browser, e.g. with the script blocker "noscript" (http://noscript.net/).

For more information about the collection and use of data by Google, your rights in this regard and options for protecting your privacy, please see Google's privacy policy: http://www.google.com/intl/de/ /policy/ 1button.html. You also have the option of preventing Google plug-ins from loading by installing the appropriate add-ons in your browser.

Note: If a "g " button is displayed in the top menu or in the footer of our website, this is not a " 1" button, but simply a link to our company's Google Plus page. When you visit this page, the above-mentioned data may be collected by Google.

6.3 USE OF INSTAGRAM PLUGINS

Our websites may use so-called social plugins ("plugins") from Instagram, which is operated by Instagram LLC, 1601 Willow Road, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA ("Instagram"). The plugins are marked with an Instagram logo, for example in the form of an "Instagram camera". An overview of the Instagram plugins and their appearance can be found here: http://blog.instagram.com/post/36222022872/introducing-instagram-badges.

If you visit a page on our website that contains such a plugin, your browser establishes a direct connection to the Instagram servers. The content of the plugin is transmitted directly from Instagram to your browser and integrated into the page. Through this integration, Instagram receives the information that your browser has accessed the corresponding page on our website, even if you do not have an Instagram profile or are not currently logged into Instagram. This information (including your IP address) is transmitted directly from your browser to an Instagram server in the USA and stored there. If you are logged into Instagram, Instagram can directly assign your visit to our website to your Instagram account. If you interact with the plugins, for example by pressing the "Instagram" button, this information is also transmitted directly to an Instagram server and stored there. The information is also published on your Instagram account and displayed to your contacts there.

For information on the purpose and scope of data collection and the further processing and use of data by Instagram, as well as your rights and setting options to protect your privacy, please refer to Instagram’s privacy policy:

https://help.instagram.com/155833707900388/. If you do not want Instagram to assign the data collected via our website directly to your Instagram account, you must log out of Instagram before visiting our website. You can also completely prevent the Instagram plug-in from loading with add-ons for your browser, e.g. with the script blocker "NoScript" (http://noscript.net/).

Note: If an "Instagram" logo is displayed in the top menu or in the footer of our website, this is not an Instagram plugin button, but simply a link to our company's Instagram profile. When you visit this page, the above-mentioned data may be collected by Instagram.

6.4 NO INFLUENCE BY US

In the case of social media plug-ins, we have no influence on the data collected and data processing procedures, nor are we aware of the full extent of the data collection, the purposes of the processing, or the storage periods. We also have no information on the deletion of the data collected by the plug-in provider.

6.5 USE BY PROVIDER

The plug-in provider saves the data collected about you as user profiles and uses them for the purposes of advertising, market research and/or needs-based design of its website. Such an evaluation is carried out in particular (also for users who are not logged in) to display needs-based advertising and to inform other users of the social network about your activities on our website. You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles; to exercise this right you must contact the respective plug-in provider. We use the plug-ins to offer you the opportunity to interact with social networks and other users so that we can improve our offering and make it more interesting for you as a user. The legal basis for the use of the plug-ins is Art. 6 Paragraph 1 Clause 1 Letter f) of GDPR.

6.6 DATA TRANSFER

The data is passed on regardless of whether you have an account with the plug-in provider and are logged in there. If you are logged in with the plug-in provider, the data we collect will be assigned directly to your existing account with the plug-in provider. If you click the activated button and, for example, link the page, the plug-in provider also saves this information in your user account and shares it publicly with your contacts. We recommend that you log out regularly after using a social network, but especially before activating the button, as this will prevent your data from being assigned to your profile with the plug-in provider.

7. USE OF GOOGLE ANALYTICS FOR WEB ANALYSIS

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service provided by Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (“Google”). Google Analytics is used to understand visitor behavior on this website in order to better tailor it to your needs.

Google Analytics uses so-called “cookies”, text files that are stored on your computer and that enable an analysis of your use of the website.

The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. This website uses Google Analytics exclusively with the extension “gat._anonymizeIp()”, which ensures that the IP address is anonymized by shortening it and excludes direct personal reference. This ensures the anonymous collection of IP addresses (so-called IP masking). This extension means that your IP address is shortened beforehand by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there.

In these exceptional cases, this processing is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest in the statistical analysis of user behavior for optimization and marketing purposes.

On our behalf, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide us 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.

You can prevent cookies from being saved by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser. However, please note that if you do this, you may not be able to use all the functions of this website to their full extent. You can also prevent Google from collecting the data generated by the cookie and relating to your use of the website (including your IP address) and from processing this data by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available under the following link: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de

Further information on terms of use and data protection can be found at http://www.google.com/analytics/terms/de.html or at https://www.google.com/analytics/learn/privacy.html as well as at https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245?hl=de

The data processing is carried out on the basis of the legal provisions of Section 96 Paragraph 3 TKG and Article 6 Paragraph 1 Letter a (consent) and/or f (legitimate interest) of the GDPR.

The data will be deleted after 26 months.

You can enable or disable Google Analytics cookies on this website:

Google Analytics is not activated for this website.

8. GOOGLE ADWORDS CONVERSION-TRACKING

We use “Google AdWords” and its conversion tracking for our online advertising. Google Conversion Tracking is an analysis service provided by Google Inc. (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; “Google”).

This function is used to present interest-based advertisements to website visitors as part of the Google advertising network. If you click on an ad placed by Google, a cookie is stored on your computer for conversion tracking. These cookies have a limited validity and do not contain any personal data. Personal identification is therefore not possible. If you visit certain Internet pages on our website and the cookie has not yet expired, Google and we can recognize that you clicked on the ad and were redirected to this page. Each Google AdWords customer receives a different cookie. This prevents cookies from being tracked and identified via the websites of AdWords customers.

The information obtained using this conversion cookie is used to create conversion statistics. This tells us the total number of users who clicked on the ad in question and were redirected to a page with a conversion tracking tag. According to Google, however, no information is disclosed that can be used to personally identify users. If you do not want to participate in tracking, you can object to this use by preventing the installation of cookies by setting your browser software accordingly (deactivation option). You will then not be included in the conversion tracking statistics. If you still do not want the function, you can deactivate it by making the appropriate settings at http://www.google.com/settings/ads. You can find more information about Google Remarketing and Google's privacy policy at: http://www.google.de/policies/privacy/

9. GOOGLE WEB FONTS

Our websites use so-called web fonts provided by Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA ("Google") for the uniform display of fonts. When you visit a page, your browser loads the required web fonts into your browser cache in order to display texts and fonts correctly.

For this purpose, the browser you use must connect to Google's servers. This tells Google that this website was accessed via your IP address. Google Web Fonts are used in the interest of a uniform and appealing presentation of our online offerings. This represents a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 Paragraph 1 Letter f of GDPR. If your browser does not support web fonts, a standard font from your computer will be used. Google LLC, based in the USA, is certified for the US-European data protection agreement "Privacy Shield", which guarantees compliance with the data protection level applicable in the EU.

Further information about Google Web Fonts can be found at https://developers.google.com/fonts/faq and in Google's privacy policy: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/

10. COMPETITIONS

From time to time you have the opportunity to take part in competitions on our website. As part of these competitions, personal data (email address, name, address and, if applicable, other data required for the competition) may also be collected and stored for the purpose of running the competition. The personal information you give us will only be used to run the competition (e.g. to determine the winner, notify the winner and hand over the prize). As part of the competition, we will specifically inform the participant about data processing for the specific competition. After our competitions have ended, the participants' data will be deleted.
