Relevant Legal Bases

Relevant Legal Bases under the GDPR: Below you will find an overview of the legal bases of the GDPR on which we process personal data. Please note that in addition to the provisions of the GDPR, national data protection regulations in your or our country of residence or establishment may apply. Furthermore, if more specific legal bases are relevant in individual cases, we will inform you about them in the privacy policy.

Consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR) - The data subject has given consent to the processing of his or her personal data for one or more specific purposes.
Performance of a Contract and Pre-contractual Requests (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b) GDPR) - Processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party or in order to take steps at the request of the data subject prior to entering into a contract.
Legal Obligation (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c) GDPR) - Processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which the controller is subject.
Legitimate Interests (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR) - processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by the controller or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject which require protection of personal data.

National Data Protection Regulations in Germany: In addition to the data protection regulations of the GDPR, national data protection regulations apply in Germany. This includes in particular the Federal Data Protection Act (Bundesdatenschutzgesetz – BDSG). 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, state data protection laws of the individual federal states may apply.

Transmission of Personal Data

In the course of our processing of personal data, it may happen that these are transmitted to or disclosed to other bodies, companies, legally independent organizational units or persons. Recipients of this data may include, for example, service providers commissioned with IT tasks or providers of services and content that are integrated into a website. In such cases, we comply with legal requirements and, in particular, conclude appropriate contracts or agreements with the recipients of your data that serve to protect your data.

International Data Transfers

Data processing in third countries: If we transfer data to a third country (i.e. outside the European Union (EU) or the European Economic Area (EEA)) or if this occurs in the context of using third-party services or disclosing or transmitting data to other persons, bodies or companies (which becomes apparent from the postal address of the respective provider or if the data protection declaration explicitly refers to data transfer to third countries), this is always done in accordance with legal requirements.

For data transfers to the USA, we primarily rely on the Data Privacy Framework (DPF), which was recognized as a secure legal framework by an adequacy decision of the EU Commission on July 10, 2023. In addition, we have concluded standard contractual clauses with the respective providers that comply with the requirements of the EU Commission and establish contractual obligations for the protection of your data.

This dual protection ensures comprehensive safeguarding of your data: the DPF forms the primary level of protection, while the standard contractual clauses serve as additional security. Should there be changes within the DPF, the standard contractual clauses act as a reliable fallback option. This ensures that your data remains adequately protected even in the event of political or legal changes.

For individual service providers, we will inform you whether they are DPF-certified and whether standard contractual clauses are in place. Further information on the DPF and a list of certified companies can be found on the website of the US Department of Commerce at https://www.dataprivacyframework.gov/ (in English).

For data transfers to other third countries, appropriate security measures apply, in particular standard contractual clauses, explicit consents or legally required transfers. Information on third country transfers and applicable adequacy decisions can be found in the information provided by the EU Commission: https://commission.europa.eu/law/law-topic/data-protection/international-dimension-data-protection_en?prefLang=de.

General Information on Data Storage and Deletion

We delete personal data that we process in accordance with legal requirements as soon as the underlying consents are revoked or there are no further legal grounds for processing. This applies to cases where the original purpose of processing no longer applies or the data is no longer required. Exceptions to this rule exist if legal obligations or special interests require longer retention or archiving of the data.

In particular, data that must be retained for commercial or tax reasons or whose storage is necessary for legal prosecution or to protect the rights of other natural or legal persons must be archived accordingly.

Our privacy policy contains additional information on data retention and deletion that specifically applies to certain processing activities.

If there are multiple specifications for the retention period or deletion deadlines of data, the longest period is always decisive. Data that is no longer used for its original purpose but is retained due to legal requirements or other reasons will only be processed for the reasons that justify its retention.

Retention and deletion of data: The following general deadlines apply to retention and archiving under German law:

10 years - Retention period for books and records, annual financial statements, inventories, management reports, opening balance sheet, as well as the work instructions and other organizational documents required for their understanding (§ 147 para. 1 no. 1 in conjunction with para. 3 AO, § 14b para. 1 UStG, § 257 para. 1 no. 1 in conjunction with para. 4 HGB).
8 years - Booking vouchers, such as invoices and expense receipts (§ 147 para. 1 no. 4 and 4a in conjunction with para. 3 sentence 1 AO and § 257 para. 1 no. 4 in conjunction with para. 4 HGB).
6 years - Other business documents: received commercial or business letters, reproductions of sent commercial or business letters, other documents, insofar as they are relevant for taxation, e.g., hourly wage slips, cost accounting sheets, calculation documents, price markings, but also payroll documents, insofar as they are not already booking vouchers and cash register strips (§ 147 para. 1 no. 2, 3, 5 in conjunction with para. 3 AO, § 257 para. 1 no. 2 and 3 in conjunction with para. 4 HGB).
3 years - Data required to consider potential warranty and compensation claims or similar contractual claims and rights, as well as to process related inquiries, based on previous business experience and common industry practices, will be stored for the duration of the regular statutory limitation period of three years (§§ 195, 199 BGB).

Start of the period at the end of the year: If a period does not explicitly begin on a specific date and is at least one year, it automatically starts at the end of the calendar year in which the event triggering the period occurred. In the case of ongoing contractual relationships in which data is stored, the event triggering the period is the effective date of termination or other termination of the legal relationship.

Rights of Data Subjects

Rights of data subjects under the GDPR: As a data subject, you have various rights under the GDPR, which arise in particular from Art. 15 to 21 GDPR:

Right to Object: You have the right to object, on grounds relating to your particular situation, at any time to processing of personal data concerning you which is based on Article 6(1)(e) or (f) GDPR, including profiling based on those provisions. Where personal data are processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time to processing of personal data concerning you for such marketing, which includes profiling to the extent that it is related to such direct marketing.
Right to Withdraw Consent: You have the right to withdraw given consents at any time.
Right of Access: You have the right to request confirmation as to whether data concerning you is being processed, and to information about this data as well as further information and a copy of the data in accordance with legal requirements.
Right to Rectification: You have the right, in accordance with legal requirements, to request the completion of data concerning you or the rectification of inaccurate data concerning you.
Right to Erasure and Restriction of Processing: You have the right, in accordance with legal requirements, to request that data concerning you be erased without undue delay, or alternatively, in accordance with legal requirements, to request restriction of processing of the data.
Right to Data Portability: You have the right to receive the data concerning you, which you have provided to us, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format in accordance with legal requirements, or to request its transmission to another controller.
Complaint to Supervisory Authority: Without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of your habitual residence, place of work or place of the alleged infringement, if you consider that the processing of personal data relating to you infringes the provisions of the GDPR.

Business Services

We process personal data of our contractual and business partners, such as customers, clients, prospective customers, suppliers, and other cooperation partners (collectively "contractual partners"), for the initiation, execution, and settlement of contractual relationships and comparable legal relationships. This also includes pre-contractual measures taken upon request, as well as communication in connection with the respective contractual relationship.

The processing serves, in particular, the fulfillment of our primary and secondary contractual obligations. This includes the provision of agreed services, any update and information obligations, the handling of warranty and other performance disruptions, the processing of cancellations, termination of continuing obligations, reversals, refunds, and the processing of other contract-related declarations and inquiries. Both one-time contracts and ongoing contractual relationships are covered.

In particular, master data such as name, address, and company name if applicable, contact data such as email address and telephone number, contract and service data such as contract subject, contract term, order or transaction number, usage and performance data, payment and billing data, as well as communication content and histories are processed. If necessary, we also process data disclosed or transmitted to us in the course of executing an order.

In addition, we process the data to safeguard our rights and to comply with legal obligations. This includes, in particular, retention obligations under commercial and tax law, documentation obligations, and, if applicable, proof and accountability obligations. Data is also processed on the basis of our legitimate interests in proper business management, internal administration, risk management, and IT security, as well as in protecting our business operations and our contractual partners from misuse, threats to data, secrets, and other legal assets. This may also include the involvement of external service providers such as IT and telecommunications providers, transport and logistics companies, payment service providers, banks, tax and legal advisors, or other auxiliary persons, insofar as this is necessary for the performance of the contract or to fulfill legal obligations.

Personal data is only passed on to third parties if this is necessary for the performance of the contract, for the implementation of pre-contractual measures, for the protection of legitimate interests, or for the fulfillment of legal obligations. We will inform you separately about further processing, in particular for marketing purposes, within the framework of this data protection declaration.

We will inform contractual partners about the data required in each individual case as part of the data collection process, for example, by appropriate labeling in online forms or during personal contact.

The data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer required for the aforementioned purposes and no legal retention periods conflict with its deletion. Statutory retention periods, particularly under commercial and tax law, may require longer storage. We delete data transmitted in the context of a specific order after completion of the order and expiry of any retention periods, unless further legal or contractual obligations to store the data exist.

The legal basis for processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR for the implementation of pre-contractual measures and for the fulfillment of the respective contractual relationship, as well as Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR for the fulfillment of legal obligations. Insofar as the processing is based on legitimate interests, it is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. Insofar as the processing is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR, it is carried out to safeguard our legitimate interests in proper and efficient business organization, internal administration and documentation of business processes, enforcement and defense of legal claims, ensuring IT and data security, preventing misuse and fraud, and the economic management and development of our business operations. These interests exist in particular in ensuring a secure and legally compliant business operation as well as in maintaining our entrepreneurial capacity to act.

Payment procedures

Within the framework of contractual and other legal relationships, due to legal obligations or otherwise on the basis of our legitimate interests, we offer affected persons efficient and secure payment options and use other service providers in addition to banks and credit institutions for this purpose (collectively "payment service providers"). Payment transactions are carried out exclusively via encrypted connections, in accordance with the state of the art, so that the data entered is protected from unauthorized access during transmission.

The data processed by the payment service providers includes inventory data, such as name and address, bank data, such as account numbers or credit card numbers, passwords, TANs and checksums, as well as contract, sum and recipient-related information. The information is required to carry out the transactions. However, the data entered is only processed and stored by the payment service providers. This means that we do not receive account or credit card related information, but only information with confirmation or negative notification of the payment. In certain circumstances, the data may be transmitted by the payment service providers to credit agencies. This transmission serves the purpose of identity and creditworthiness checks. For this, we refer to the terms and conditions and privacy notices of the payment service providers.

The terms and conditions and privacy notices of the respective payment service providers, which can be accessed within the respective websites or transaction applications, apply to payment transactions. We also refer to these for further information and to assert rights of revocation, information and other data subject rights.

Use of cookies

The term "cookies" refers to functions that store and read information on users' end devices. Cookies can also be used for various purposes, such as the functionality, security, and convenience of online offerings, as well as the creation of analyses of visitor flows. We use cookies in accordance with legal regulations. For this, we obtain the user's consent in advance if necessary. If consent is not necessary, we rely on our legitimate interests. This applies if the storage and reading of information are essential to provide explicitly requested content and functions. This includes, for example, storing settings and ensuring the functionality and security of our online offering. Consent can be revoked at any time. We provide clear information about their scope and which cookies are used.

Information on legal bases under data protection law: Whether we process personal data with the help of cookies depends on consent. If consent is given, it serves as the legal basis. Without consent, we rely on our legitimate interests, which are explained above in this section and in the context of the respective services and procedures.

Storage duration: With regard to the storage duration, the following types of cookies are distinguished:

Temporary cookies (also: session cookies): Temporary cookies are deleted at the latest after a user has left an online offering and closed their end device (e.g., browser or mobile application).
Persistent cookies: Persistent cookies remain stored even after the end device is closed. For example, the login status can be saved, and preferred content can be displayed directly when the user revisits a website. Likewise, user data collected with the help of cookies can be used for reach measurement. Unless we provide users with explicit information about the type and storage duration of cookies (e.g., in the context of obtaining consent), they should assume that these are permanent and the storage duration can be up to two years.

General information on revocation and objection (opt-out): Users can revoke their given consents at any time and also declare an objection to the processing in accordance with legal requirements, also by means of their browser's privacy settings.

Types of data processed: Meta, communication, and procedural data (e.g., IP addresses, time data, identification numbers, involved persons).
Persons affected: Users (e.g., website visitors, users of online services).
Legal bases: Legitimate interests (Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. f) GDPR). Consent (Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. a) GDPR).

Further information on processing processes, procedures and services:

Processing of cookie data based on consent: We use a consent management solution to obtain users' consent for the use of cookies or for the procedures and providers mentioned in the context of the consent management solution. This procedure serves to obtain, log, manage, and revoke consents, particularly concerning the use of cookies and similar technologies used to store, read, and process information on users' end devices. Within this procedure, users' consents for the use of cookies and the associated processing of information, including the specific processing and providers mentioned in the consent management procedure, are obtained. Users also have the option to manage and revoke their consents. Consent declarations are stored to avoid re-querying and to be able to provide proof of consent in accordance with legal requirements. Storage takes place server-side and/or in a cookie (so-called opt-in cookie) or by means of comparable technologies to be able to assign the consent to a specific user or their device. If no specific information is available about the providers of consent management services, the following general information applies: The storage period for consent is up to two years. A pseudonymous user identifier is created, which is stored together with the time of consent, information on the scope of consent (e.g., relevant categories of cookies and/or service providers) as well as information about the browser, the system, and the end device used; Legal bases: Consent (Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. a) GDPR).

Comments and contributions: If users leave comments or other contributions, their IP addresses may be stored based on our legitimate interests. This is done for our security, should someone leave unlawful content in comments and contributions (insults, forbidden political propaganda, etc.). In this case, we ourselves can be prosecuted for the comment or contribution and are therefore interested in the identity of the author.

Furthermore, we reserve the right to process user data for spam detection based on our legitimate interests.

On the same legal basis, we reserve the right to store the IP addresses of users for the duration of surveys and to use cookies to avoid multiple votes.

Sweepstakes and contests

We process personal data of participants in sweepstakes and contests only in compliance with the relevant data protection regulations, to the extent that the processing is contractually necessary for the provision, execution and settlement of the sweepstake, the participants have consented to the processing, or the processing serves our legitimate interests (e.g., in the security of the sweepstake or the protection of our interests against misuse by possibly collecting IP addresses when submitting sweepstake entries).

If participants' contributions are published as part of the sweepstakes (e.g., as part of a vote or presentation of the sweepstake entries or winners, or reporting on the sweepstake), we point out that the participants' names may also be published in this context. Participants can object to this at any time.

If the sweepstake takes place within an online platform or a social network (e.g., Facebook or Instagram, hereinafter referred to as "online platform"), the terms of use and data protection regulations of the respective platforms also apply. In these cases, we point out that we are responsible for the information provided by the participants in the context of the sweepstake and that inquiries regarding the sweepstake should be addressed to us.

The participants' data will be deleted as soon as the sweepstake or contest has ended and the data is no longer required to inform the winners or because no further inquiries about the sweepstake are to be expected. In principle, participants' data will be deleted no later than 6 months after the end of the sweepstake. Winners' data may be retained longer, for example, to answer questions about prizes or to fulfill prize services; in this case, the retention period depends on the type of prize and is, for example, up to three years for goods or services, to be able to process warranty cases, for example. Furthermore, participants' data may be stored longer, for example, in the form of reporting on the sweepstake in online and offline media.

If data was also collected for other purposes as part of the sweepstake, their processing and retention period are governed by the data protection notices for this use (e.g., in the case of a newsletter subscription as part of a sweepstake).

Web analysis, monitoring and optimization

Web analysis (also referred to as "reach measurement") serves to evaluate the visitor flows of our online offering and may 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, recognize at what time our online offering or its functions or content are most frequently used, or invite for reuse. We are also able to identify areas that need optimization.

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

Unless otherwise stated below, profiles, i.e., data combined for a usage process, may be created for these purposes, and information may be stored and then read out in a browser or on an end device. The collected data includes, in particular, visited websites and elements used there, as well as technical information, such as the browser used, the computer system used, and information on usage times. If users have consented to the collection of their location data by us or by the providers of the services we use, the processing of location data is also possible.

In addition, users' IP addresses are stored. However, we use an IP masking procedure (i.e., pseudonymization by shortening the IP address) to protect users. Generally, no clear user data (such as email addresses or names) is stored as part of web analysis, A/B testing and optimization, but pseudonyms. This means that neither we nor the providers of the software used know the actual identity of the users, but only the information stored in their profiles for the purpose of the respective procedures.

Information on legal bases: If we ask users for their consent to the use of third-party providers, the legal basis for data processing is consent. Otherwise, user data is processed on the basis of our legitimate interests (i.e., interest in efficient, economic and user-friendly services). In this context, we would also like to refer you to the information on the use of cookies in this privacy policy.

Types of data processed: Usage data (e.g. page views and dwell time, click paths, usage intensity and frequency, device types and operating systems used, interactions with content and functions). Meta, communication and procedural data (e.g. IP addresses, time information, identification numbers, involved persons).
Data subjects: Users (e.g. website visitors, users of online services).
Purposes of processing and legitimate interests: Reach measurement (e.g. access statistics, recognition of returning visitors); Profiles with user-related information (creation of user profiles). Provision of our online offering and user-friendliness.
Retention and deletion: Deletion in accordance with the information in the "General information on data storage and deletion" section. Storage of cookies for up to 2 years (Unless otherwise stated, cookies and similar storage methods can be stored on users' devices for a period of two years.).
Security measures: IP masking (pseudonymization of the IP address).
Legal bases: Consent (Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a) GDPR). Legitimate interests (Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f) GDPR).

Google Analytics: We use Google Analytics to measure and analyze the use of our online offering based on a pseudonymous user identification number. This identification number does not contain unique data such as names or email addresses. It serves to assign analytical information to an end device in order to recognize which content users have accessed within one or various usage processes, which search terms they have used, re-accessed, or interacted with our online offering. The time and duration of use are also stored, as well as the sources of users who refer to our online offering and technical aspects of their end devices and browsers.
In this process, pseudonymous user profiles are created with information from the use of different devices, whereby cookies can be used. Google Analytics does not log or store individual IP addresses for EU users. However, Analytics does provide coarse geographic location data by deriving the following metadata from IP addresses: city (and the derived latitude and longitude of the city), continent, country, region, subcontinent (and ID-based counterparts). For EU traffic, IP address data is used exclusively for this derivation of geolocation data before being immediately deleted. It is not logged, is not accessible, and is not used for further purposes. When Google Analytics collects measurement data, all IP queries are performed on EU-based servers before traffic is forwarded to Analytics servers for processing; Service provider: Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland; Legal bases: Consent (Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a) GDPR); Website: https://marketingplatform.google.com/intl/de/about/analytics/; Security measures: IP masking (pseudonymization of the IP address); Privacy Policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy; Data Processing Agreement: https://business.safety.google/adsprocessorterms/; Basis for third-country transfers: Data Privacy Framework (DPF), Standard Contractual Clauses (https://business.safety.google/adsprocessorterms); Opt-out option: Opt-out plugin: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de, Settings for displaying advertisements: https://myadcenter.google.com/personalizationoff.

Google Tag Manager: We use Google Tag Manager, software from Google that allows us to manage so-called website tags centrally via a user interface. Tags are small code elements on our website used to record and analyze visitor activities. This technology helps us to improve our website and the content offered on it. Google Tag Manager itself does not create user profiles, store cookies with user profiles, or conduct independent analyses. Its function is limited to simplifying and making the integration and management of tools and services that we use on our website more efficient. Nevertheless, when using Google Tag Manager, users' IP addresses are transmitted to Google, which is technically necessary to implement the services we use. Cookies may also be set. However, this data processing only occurs when services are integrated via the Tag Manager. For more detailed information on these services and their data processing, please refer to the further sections of this privacy policy; Service Provider: Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland; Legal Basis: Consent (Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a) GDPR); Website: https://marketingplatform.google.com; Privacy Policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy; Data Processing Agreement:

Online Marketing

We process personal data for the purpose of online marketing, which may include the marketing of advertising spaces or the display of promotional and other content (collectively referred to as "content") based on the potential interests of users, as well as the measurement of their effectiveness.

For these purposes, so-called user profiles are created and stored in a file (a "cookie") or similar procedures are used to store information relevant for displaying the aforementioned content. This may include, for example, content viewed, websites visited, online networks used, as well as communication partners and technical information such as the browser used, the computer system used, and information about usage times and functions used. If users have consented to the collection of their location data, this may also be processed.

In addition, users' IP addresses are stored. However, we use available IP masking procedures (i.e., pseudonymization by shortening the IP address) for user protection. Generally, no clear data of users (such as email addresses or names) are stored within the online marketing process, but rather pseudonyms. This means that neither we nor the providers of the online marketing processes know the actual user identity, but only the information stored in their profiles.

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

In exceptional cases, it is possible to assign clear data to the profiles, primarily when users are, for example, members of a social network whose online marketing procedure we use, and the network combines the user profiles with the aforementioned information. Please note that users may enter into additional agreements with the providers, for example, 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 tracking, we can check which of our online marketing procedures have led to a so-called conversion, i.e., for example, to a conclusion of a contract with us. Conversion tracking is used solely for the success analysis of our marketing measures.

Unless otherwise stated, please assume that cookies used are stored for a period of two years.

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

Affiliate Programs and Affiliate Links

In our online offering, we integrate so-called affiliate links or other references (which may include, for example, search masks, widgets, or discount codes) to the offers and services of third-party providers (collectively referred to as "affiliate links"). If users follow the affiliate links or subsequently make use of the offers, we may receive a commission or other benefits from these third-party providers (collectively referred to as "commission").

To track whether users have used the offers of an affiliate link we have used, it is necessary for the respective third-party providers to know that users have followed an affiliate link embedded within our online offering. The assignment of the affiliate links to the respective business transactions or other actions (e.g., purchases) serves solely for the purpose of commission billing and is removed as soon as it is no longer required for that purpose.

For the purposes of the aforementioned assignment of affiliate links, the affiliate links can be supplemented with certain values that are part of the link or can be stored otherwise, e.g., in a cookie. Such values may include, in particular, the referring website, the time, an online identifier of the operators of the website where the affiliate link was located, an online identifier of the respective offer, the type of link used, the type of offer, and an online identifier of the user.

Types of Data Processed: Contract data (e.g., subject matter of contract, term, customer category); Usage data (e.g., page views and dwell time, click paths, usage intensity and frequency, device types and operating systems used, interactions with content and functions).

We participate in review and evaluation procedures to evaluate, optimize, and promote our services. If users rate us or provide other feedback via the participating evaluation platforms or procedures, the general terms and conditions or terms of use and privacy policies of the providers also apply. As a rule, evaluation also requires registration with the respective providers.

To ensure that the reviewers have actually used our services, we transmit the necessary data regarding the customer and the service used (including name, email address, and order number or item number) to the respective evaluation platform with the customer's consent. This data is used solely to verify the authenticity of the user.

Presences in social networks (Social Media)

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

We point out that user data may be processed outside the European Union. This may result in risks for users, for example, because the enforcement of user rights could be made more difficult.

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

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

Also in the case of requests for information and the assertion of data subject rights, we point out that these can be most effectively asserted with the providers. Only the latter have access to the user data and can directly take appropriate measures and provide information. Should you still need help, you can contact us.

Types of data processed: Contact data (e.g., postal and email addresses or phone numbers); Content data (e.g., textual or visual messages and posts and related information, such as authorship or creation time). Usage data (e.g., page views and dwell time, click paths, usage intensity and frequency, device types and operating systems used, interactions with content and functions).
Affected individuals: Users (e.g., website visitors, users of online services).
Purposes of processing and legitimate interests: Communication; Feedback (e.g., collecting feedback via online form). Public relations.
Retention and deletion: Deletion according to information in the section "General information on data storage and deletion".

Plugins and embedded functions and content

We integrate functional and content elements into 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 uniformly referred to as "content").

The integration always requires that the third-party providers of this content process the IP address of the users, as without the IP address they would not be able to send the content to their browser. The IP address is therefore necessary for the display of this content or functions. We endeavor to use only such content whose respective providers use the IP address only for the delivery of the content. Third-party providers may also use so-called pixel tags (invisible graphics, also known as "web beacons") for statistical or marketing purposes. Through the "pixel tags", information such as visitor traffic on the pages of this website can be evaluated. The pseudonymized information can also be stored in cookies on the users' device and, among other things, contain technical information about the browser and operating system, referring websites, visit time, and other information about the use of our online offering, but also be combined with such information from other sources.

Information on legal bases: If we ask users for their consent to the use of third-party providers, the legal basis for data processing is the permission. Otherwise, user data is processed on the basis of our legitimate interests (i.e., interest in efficient, economical, and user-friendly services). In this context, we would also like to refer you to the information on the use of cookies in this privacy policy.

This data includes, for example, details of website visits, interactions with content and functions, app installations, and product purchases. The processing of event data aims to create target groups for content and advertising messages (Custom Audiences). It is important to note that event data does not include actual content such as comments written, no login information, and no contact information such as names, email addresses, or phone numbers. "Event data" is deleted by Meta after a maximum of two years, and the target groups formed from it disappear with the deletion of our Meta user accounts.); Contact data (e.g., postal and email addresses or phone numbers). Content data (e.g., textual or visual messages and posts and related information, such as authorship or creation time).
Affected individuals: Users (e.g., website visitors, users of online services).

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 take place 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, on the basis of standard contractual clauses ("Facebook-EU Data Transfer Addendum, https://www.facebook.com/legal/EU_data_transfer_addendum).

Google Fonts (provided on our own server): Provision of font files for user-friendly display of our online offering; Service provider: Google Fonts are hosted on our server, no data is transmitted to Google; Legal bases: Legitimate interests (Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f) GDPR).
Google Fonts (retrieval from Google Server): Retrieval of fonts (and symbols) for the purpose of technically secure, maintenance-free and efficient use of fonts and symbols with regard to up-to-dateness and loading times, their uniform display and consideration of possible license restrictions. The IP address of the user is communicated to the font provider so that the fonts can be made available in the user's browser. In addition, technical data (language settings, screen resolution, operating system, hardware used) are transmitted, which are necessary for the provision of the fonts depending on the devices used and the technical environment. This data may be processed on a server of the font provider in the USA - When visiting our online offering, users' browsers send their browser HTTP requests to the Google Fonts Web API (i.e. a software interface for retrieving the fonts). The Google Fonts Web API provides users with the Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) from Google Fonts and then the fonts specified in the CSS. These HTTP requests include (1) the IP address used by the respective user to access the Internet, (2) the requested URL on the Google server, and (3) the HTTP headers, including the user agent, which describes the browser and operating system versions of the website visitors, and the referrer URL (i.e. the website on which the Google font is to be displayed). IP addresses are neither logged nor stored on Google servers and they are not analyzed. The Google Fonts Web API logs details of HTTP requests (requested URL, user agent, and referrer URL). Access to this data is restricted and strictly controlled. The requested URL identifies the font families for which the user wants to load fonts. This data is logged so that Google can determine how often a specific font family is requested. With the Google Fonts Web API, the user agent must adjust the font that is generated for the respective browser type. The user agent is primarily logged for debugging and used to generate aggregated usage statistics that measure the popularity of font families. These aggregated usage statistics are published on the Google Fonts "Analytics" page. Finally, the referrer URL is logged so that the data can be used for production maintenance and an aggregated report on the top integrations can be generated based on the number of font requests. According to its own information, Google does not use any of the information collected by Google Fonts to create profiles of end-users or to display targeted advertisements; Service provider: Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland; Legal bases: Legitimate interests (Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f) GDPR); Website: https://fonts.google.com/; Privacy Policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy; Basis for third-country transfers: Data Privacy Framework (DPF).
