Legal basis for the processing of personal data

Below we inform you about the legal basis for the processing of personal data:

  1. If we have obtained your consent for the processing of personal data, Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a) GDPR is the legal basis.
  2. If processing is necessary for the performance of a contract or in order to take steps at your request prior to entering into a contract, the legal basis is Article 6(1)(b) GDPR.
  3. If processing is necessary to fulfill a legal obligation to which we are subject (e.g. statutory retention obligations), Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. c) GDPR is the legal basis.
  4. If processing is necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person, the legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. d) GDPR.
  5. If the processing is necessary to protect our legitimate interests or those of a third party and your interests or fundamental rights and freedoms do not outweigh this, Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f) GDPR is the legal basis.

Disclosure of personal data to third parties and processors

We do not pass on any data to third parties without your consent. Should this nevertheless be the case, the data will be passed on on the basis of the aforementioned legal bases, e.g. when passing on data to online payment providers to fulfill a contract or due to a court order or due to a legal obligation to hand over the data for the purpose of criminal prosecution, to avert danger or to enforce intellectual property rights. We also use processors (external service providers, e.g. for web hosting of our websites and databases) to process your data. If data is passed on to the processors as part of an agreement on order processing, this is always done in accordance with Art. 28 GDPR. We select our processors carefully, monitor them regularly and have been granted the right to issue instructions regarding the data. In addition, the processors must have taken appropriate technical and organizational measures and comply with the data protection regulations according to BDSG n.F. and GDPR

Data transfer to third countries

The adoption of the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) has created a uniform basis for data protection in Europe. Your data is therefore primarily processed by companies to which the GDPR applies. However, if processing is carried out by third parties outside the European Union or the European Economic Area, these must fulfill the special requirements of Art. 44 et seq. GDPR must be met. This means that the processing takes place on the basis of special guarantees, such as the EU Commission’s officially recognized determination of a level of data protection corresponding to that of the EU or compliance with officially recognized special contractual obligations, the so-called “standard contractual clauses”. In the case of US companies, submission to the so-called “Privacy Shield”, the data protection agreement between the EU and the USA, fulfills these requirements.

Deletion of data and storage duration

Unless expressly stated in this privacy policy, your personal data will be deleted or blocked as soon as you revoke your consent to the processing or the purpose for the storage no longer applies or the data is no longer required for the purpose, unless its further storage is necessary for evidence purposes or there are statutory retention obligations to the contrary. This includes, for example, commercial law retention obligations for business letters in accordance with Section 257 (1) HGB (6 years) and tax law retention obligations for documents in accordance with Section 147 (1) AO (10 years). If the prescribed retention period expires, your data will be blocked or deleted unless storage is still required for the conclusion or fulfillment of a contract.

Existence of automated decision-making

We do not use automated decision-making or profiling.

Provision of our website and creation of log files

  1. If you only use our website for informational purposes (i.e. no registration and no other transmission of information), we only collect the personal data that your browser transmits to our server. If you wish to view our website, we collect the following data:
    – IP address;
    – Internet service provider of the user;
    – date and time of the request;
    – browser type;

  3. The legal basis for this is our legitimate interest in data processing in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f) GDPR, which also lies in the above purposes.

  4. For security reasons, we store this data in server log files for a storage period of days. After this period has expired, they are automatically deleted unless we need to retain them for evidence purposes in the event of attacks on the server infrastructure or other legal violations.

Cookies

  1. We use so-called cookies when you visit our website. Cookies are small text files that your Internet browser places and stores on your computer. When you visit our website again, these cookies provide information to automatically recognize you. Cookies also include so-called “user IDs”, where user information is stored by means of pseudonymized profiles. When you visit our website, we inform you about the use of cookies for the aforementioned purposes and how you can object to this or prevent their storage (“opt-out”) by means of a reference to our privacy policy.

    A distinction is made between the following types of cookie:

    Necessary, essential cookies: Essential cookies are cookies that are absolutely necessary for the operation of the website in order to store certain functions of the website such as logins, shopping cart or user input, e.g. regarding the language of the website.

    Session cookies: Session cookies are required to recognize multiple uses of an offer by the same user (e.g. if you have logged in to determine your login status). When you visit our site again, these cookies provide information to automatically recognize you. The information obtained in this way is used to optimize our services and make it easier for you to access our site. When you close the browser or log out, the session cookies are deleted.

    Persistent cookies: These cookies remain stored even after the browser is closed. They are used to store the login, to measure reach and for marketing purposes. They are automatically deleted after a specified period, which may vary depending on the cookie. You can delete the cookies at any time in the security settings of your browser.

    – Cookies from third-party providers (third-party cookies, especially from advertisers): Depending on your wishes, you can configure your browser settings and, for example, refuse to accept third-party cookies or all cookies. However, we would like to point out that you may then not be able to use all the functions of this website. Read more about these cookies in the respective privacy policies of the third-party providers.
  2. Data categories: User data, cookie, user ID (inb. the pages visited, device information, access times and IP addresses).
  3. Purposes of processing: The information obtained in this way serves the purpose of optimizing our web offers technically and economically and to provide you with easier and more secure access to our website.
  4. Legal basis: If we process your personal data with the help of cookies on the basis of your consent (“opt-in”), then Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a) GDPR is the legal basis. Otherwise, we have a legitimate interest in the effective functionality, improvement and economic operation of the website, so that in this case Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f) GDPR is the legal basis. The legal basis is also Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b) GDPR if the cookies are set to initiate a contract, e.g. for orders.

  5. Storage period/deletion: The data is deleted as soon as it is no longer required to achieve the purpose for which it was collected. In the case of the collection of data for the provision of the website, this is the case when the respective session has ended.

    Cookies are otherwise stored on your computer and transmitted from it to our website. As a user, you therefore have full control over the use of cookies. You can deactivate or restrict the transmission of cookies by changing the settings in your Internet browser. Cookies that have already been saved can be deleted at any time. This can also be done automatically. If cookies are deactivated for our website, it may no longer be possible to use all functions of the website to their full extent.

    Here you will find information on deleting cookies by browser:

  6. Objection and “opt-out”: You can generally prevent cookies from being stored on your hard disk, regardless of consent or legal permission, by selecting “do not accept cookies” in your browser settings. However, this may result in a functional restriction of our offers. You can object to the use of cookies from third-party providers for advertising purposes via a so-called “opt-out” via this American website (https://optout.aboutads.info) or this European website (http://www.youronlinechoices.com/de/praferenzmanagement/).

    Contact via contact form / e-mail / fax / post
  7. When contacting us by contact form, fax, post or e-mail, your data will be processed for the purpose of handling the contact request.
  8. If you have given your consent, the legal basis for the processing of the data is Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. a) GDPR. The legal basis for the processing of data transmitted in the course of a contact request or e-mail, letter or fax is Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. f) GDPR. The controller has a legitimate interest in the processing and storage of the data in order to be able to answer user queries, to preserve evidence for liability reasons and, if necessary, to be able to comply with its statutory retention obligations for business letters. If the contact is aimed at the conclusion of a contract, the additional legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. b) GDPR.
  9. We may store your details and contact request in our Customer Relationship Management System (“CRM System”) or a comparable system.
  10. The data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer required to achieve the purpose for which it was collected. For the personal data from the input screen of the contact form and those sent by email, this is the case when the respective conversation with you has ended. The conversation is ended when it can be inferred from the circumstances that the matter in question has been conclusively clarified. We store inquiries from users who have an account or contract with us for a period of two years after termination of the contract. In the case of statutory archiving obligations, the deletion takes place after their expiry: end of commercial law (6 years) and tax law (10 years) retention obligation.
  11. You have the option to revoke your consent to the processing of personal data at any time in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a) GDPR. If you contact us by email, you can object to the storage of your personal data at any time.

Contact by telephone

  1. When you contact us by telephone, your telephone number will be processed and temporarily stored or displayed in the RAM / cache of the telephone device / display in order to process the contact request and its handling. The storage takes place for liability and security reasons in order to be able to provide proof of the call and for economic reasons in order to enable a callback. In the event of unauthorized advertising calls, we block the phone numbers.
  2. The legal basis for the processing of the telephone number is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f) GDPR. If the contact is aimed at the conclusion of a contract, the additional legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b) GDPR.
  3. The device cache stores the calls for days and successively overwrites or deletes old data; when the device is disposed of, all data is deleted and the memory may be destroyed. Blocked telephone numbers are checked annually to see whether they need to be blocked.
  4. You can prevent the telephone number from being displayed by calling with the telephone number suppressed.

Google Fonts

We use Google Fonts on our website. These are the “Google fonts” of Google Inc. For the European area, the company Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street Dublin 4, Ireland) is responsible for all Google services.

You do not need to log in or enter a password to use Google fonts. Furthermore, no cookies are stored in your browser. The files (CSS, fonts) are requested via the Google domains fonts.googleapis.com and fonts.gstatic.com. According to Google, requests for CSS and fonts are completely separate from all other Google services. If you have a Google account, you do not need to worry that your Google account data will be transmitted to Google while using Google Fonts. Google records the use of CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) and the fonts used and stores this data securely. We will take a closer look at exactly how the data is stored.

What are Google Fonts?

Google Fonts (formerly Google Web Fonts) is a directory of over 800 fonts that Google makes available to its users free of charge.

Many of these fonts are published under the SIL Open Font License, while others are published under the Apache License. Both are free software licenses.

Why do we use Google Fonts on our website?

With Google Fonts we can use fonts on our own website, but we do not have to upload them to our own server. Google Fonts is an important component in keeping the quality of our website high. All Google fonts are automatically optimized for the web and this saves data volume and is a great advantage, especially for use with mobile devices. When you visit our site, the low file size ensures a fast loading time. Furthermore, Google Fonts are secure web fonts. Different image synthesis systems (rendering) in different browsers, operating systems and mobile devices can lead to errors. Such errors can sometimes visually distort texts or entire websites. Thanks to the fast Content Delivery Network (CDN), there are no cross-platform problems with Google Fonts. Google Fonts supports all common browsers (Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Opera) and works reliably on most modern mobile operating systems, including Android 2.2+ and iOS 4.2+ (iPhone, iPad, iPod). We use Google Fonts so that we can present our entire online service as beautifully and uniformly as possible.

What data is stored by Google?

When you visit our website, the fonts are reloaded via a Google server. This external call transmits data to the Google server. In this way, Google also recognizes that you or your IP address are visiting our website. The Google Fonts API was developed to reduce the use, storage and collection of end user data to what is necessary for the proper provision of fonts. Incidentally, API stands for “Application Programming Interface” and is used, among other things, as a data transmitter in the software sector.

Google Fonts stores CSS and font requests securely at Google and is therefore protected. Google can use the collected usage figures to determine how well the individual fonts are received. Google publishes the results on internal analysis pages, such as Google Analytics. Google also uses data from its own web crawler to determine which websites use Google fonts. This data is published in the Google Fonts BigQuery database. Entrepreneurs and developers use the Google web service BigQuery to analyze and move large amounts of data.

However, it should also be noted that each Google Font request also automatically transmits information such as language settings, IP address, browser version, browser screen resolution and browser name to the Google servers. It is not clear whether this data is also stored or whether it is clearly communicated by Google.

Facebook Custom Audiences

  1. On our website, we use the remarketing function “Custom Audiences” of Facebook Inc, 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA or, if you are based in the EU, Facebook Ireland Ltd, 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland.

We use the remarketing function to optimize and economically operate our website and to show you advertisements that are of interest to you and to make our website more user-friendly. When you visit our website, your browser establishes a connection to the Facebook servers. However, Facebook receives the information that you have called up or clicked on a corresponding advertisement. If you are logged in to Facebook, Facebook can assign this information to your account.

  2. Data categories and description of data processing: User ID, IP address (anonymized). When you visit our website, Google places a cookie on your computer in order to analyze your use of our website. We have activated the IP anonymization “anonymizeIP”, which means that the IP addresses are only processed in abbreviated form. On this website, your IP address will therefore be shortened beforehand by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of 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 truncated there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide other services related to website activity and internet usage to the controller. We have also activated the cross-device analysis of website visitors, which is carried out via a so-called user ID. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics is not merged with other Google data. You can find more information on data usage at Google Analytics here: https://www.google.com/analytics/terms/de.html (Terms of use of Analytics), https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245?hl=de&nb sp;(Notes on data protection at Analytics) and Google’s privacy policy https://policies.google.com/privacy.

Legal basis: If you have given your consent (“opt-in”) for the processing of your personal data by the third-party provider using “Google Analytics”, the legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a) GDPR. The legal basis is also our legitimate interest in the above purposes (the analysis, optimization and improvement of our website) in data processing in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f) GDPR. In the case of services provided in connection with a contract, tracking and analysis of user behaviour is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b) GDPR in order to be able to offer optimized services to fulfill the purpose of the contract with the information thus obtained.
  5. Storage period: The data sent by us and linked to cookies, user identifiers (e.g. user ID) or advertising IDs are automatically deleted after months. Data that has reached the end of its retention period is automatically deleted once a month.
  6. Data transfer/recipient category: Google, Ireland and USA. The data collected is transferred to the USA and stored there. If personal data is transferred to the USA, Google’s certification in accordance with the Privacy Shield Agreement(https://www.privacyshield.gov/EU-US-Framework) provides a guarantee that European data protection law is complied with. We have also concluded a data processing agreement with Google in accordance with Art. 28 GDPR.
  7. Objection and removal options (“opt-out”):
    -You can generally prevent cookies from being stored on your hard disk by selecting “Do not accept cookies” in your browser settings. However, this may limit the functionality of our services. You can also prevent Google from collecting the data generated by the cookie and relating to your use of the website and from processing this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available at the following link: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de

    -As an alternative to the browser plugin above, you can prevent Google Analytics from collecting data by clicking [__hier bitte__den Analytics Opt-Out Link Ihrer Webseite einfügen] click.

  2. Data category and description of data processing: Usage data (e.g. website accessed, content and access times). We have integrated the videos in the so-called “extended data protection mode” without using cookies to record user behaviour in order to personalize video playback.
