2. General Notes and Mandatory Information

When you use this website, various types of personal data are collected. This policy explains which data we collect and how we use it, as well as the purposes behind that use.

Please note that data transmission over the internet (e.g. email communication) can have security gaps. A complete protection of data from access by third parties is not possible.

3. Data Collection on Our Website

The web pages partially use so-called cookies. Cookies do not harm your computer and contain no viruses. Cookies serve to make our offer more user-friendly, effective, and secure. Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your browser.

Most of the cookies we use are so‑called “session cookies.” They are automatically deleted after your visit ends. Other cookies remain on your device until you delete them. These cookies allow us to recognize your browser on your next visit.

You can configure your browser to be informed about cookie placement and to allow cookies only in individual cases, to exclude cookies in certain cases or entirely, and to enable automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. Disabling cookies may restrict the functionality of this website.

Cookies essential for the electronic communication process or for providing certain functions you request (e.g., shopping cart function) are stored based on Article 6 (1) lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing cookies for the technically error-free and optimized provision of its services. As far as other cookies (e.g., for analyzing your surfing behavior) are stored, they are addressed separately in this privacy policy.

Server Log Files

The provider of the pages automatically collects and stores information in so‑called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. These include:

Browser type and browser version
Operating system used
Referrer URL
Host name of the accessing computer
Time of the server request
IP address*

*Your IP address is recorded, but immediately pseudonymized. As a result, only rough localization is possible. Personal identification is no longer possible.

A merging of this data with other data sources does not occur.

The basis for data processing is Article 6 (1) lit. f GDPR, which permits the processing of data to fulfill a contract or pre-contractual measures.

4. Analytics Tools and Advertising

Google Analytics

This website uses functions of the web analysis service Google Analytics. The provider is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.

Google Analytics uses so-called “cookies.” These are text files stored on your computer that allow an analysis of how you use the website. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is usually transmitted to and stored on a Google server in the USA.

The storage of Google Analytics cookies is based on Article 6 (1) lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in analyzing user behavior to optimize both its web offering and its advertising.

IP Anonymization

We have activated the IP anonymization function on this website. As a result, your IP address is shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or other signatory states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area before being transmitted to the USA. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. On behalf of the website operator, Google uses this information to evaluate your use of the website, compile reports on website activities, and provide other services related to website and internet usage. The IP address transmitted by your browser within the framework of Google Analytics is not combined with other Google data.

Browser Plugin

You can prevent the storage of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings in your browser software; please note, however, that in this case you may not be able to use all the features of this website in full. You can also prevent Google from collecting the data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) and processing this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at:

https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de.

Opt‑Out

You can prevent data collection by Google Analytics by clicking on the following link. An opt‑out cookie will be set that prevents data collection on future visits to this website:

For more information on handling user data in Google Analytics, please refer to Google’s privacy policy:

https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245?hl=de.

Data Processing Agreement

We have concluded a data processing agreement with Google and fully implement the strict requirements of data protection authorities when using Google Analytics.

Demographic Features in Google Analytics

This website uses the “demographic features” function of Google Analytics. This allows reports to be created containing information on the age, gender, and interests of website visitors. This data comes from interest-based advertising from Google and visitor demographics from third-party providers. This data cannot be linked to any specific person. You can deactivate this function at any time in the ad settings in your Google account, or generally prevent data collection by Google Analytics as described under “Opt‑Out of Data Collection.”

Google Analytics Remarketing

Our websites use the features of Google Analytics Remarketing together with the cross-device functions of Google AdWords and Google DoubleClick. The provider is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.

This feature enables remarketing audiences created with Google Analytics to be linked with the cross-device features of Google AdWords and Google DoubleClick. This allows interest-based, personalized advertising messages, which were tailored to you based on your previous usage and surfing behavior on one device (e.g., mobile phone), to be displayed on another of your devices (e.g., tablet or PC).

If you have given the necessary consent, Google links your web and app browser history to your Google account for this purpose. This enables the same personalized ads to be shown on every device on which you sign in with your Google account.

To support this feature, Google Analytics temporarily captures Google-authenticated IDs of users, which are temporarily linked with our Google Analytics data to define and build audiences for cross-device advertising.

You can permanently object to cross-device remarketing/targeting by disabling personalized ads in your Google account; follow this link:

https://www.google.com/settings/ads/onweb/.

The aggregation of your captured data in your Google account occurs solely based on the consent you give or revoke at Google (Article 6 (1) lit. a GDPR). For data collection operations that are not linked to your Google account (e.g., because you do not have a Google account or have objected to linking), data collection is based on Article 6 (1) lit. f GDPR. The legitimate interest arises from the website operator’s interest in anonymized analysis of website visitors for advertising purposes.

Further information and Google’s privacy policy can be found under:

https://www.google.com/policies/technologies/ads/.

Google AdWords and Google Conversion Tracking

This website uses Google AdWords. AdWords is an online advertising program from Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (“Google”).

As part of Google AdWords, we use so‑called conversion tracking. When you click on an advertisement placed by Google, a conversion tracking cookie is set. Cookies are small text files that your internet browser stores on your computer. These cookies expire after 30 days and are not used to personally identify users. If the user visits certain pages of this website and the cookie has not yet expired, Google and we can recognize that the user clicked on the ad and was redirected to this page.

Each Google AdWords customer receives a different cookie. The cookies cannot be tracked across AdWords customers’ websites. The information collected using the conversion cookie is used to compile conversion statistics for AdWords customers who have opted in to conversion tracking. The customers only learn the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a page marked with a conversion tracking tag. They do not receive any information that identifies users personally. If you do not want to participate in tracking, you can object to this use by disabling the Google conversion tracking cookie in your browser settings under user preferences. You will then not be included in the conversion tracking statistics.

The storage of “conversion cookies” is based on Article 6 (1) lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in analyzing user behavior to optimize both its website and its advertising.

More information about Google AdWords and Google conversion tracking can be found in Google’s privacy policy:

https://www.google.de/policies/privacy/.

You can configure your browser to inform you about cookie placement and allow cookies only on a case‑by‑case basis, block cookies in certain cases or entirely, and automatically delete cookies when closing the browser. Disabling cookies may restrict the functionality of this website.

Google reCAPTCHA

We use “Google reCAPTCHA” (hereinafter “reCAPTCHA”) on our websites. Provider is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (“Google”).

reCAPTCHA is used to verify whether data input on our websites (e.g., in a contact form) is made by a human or by an automated program. To do this, reCAPTCHA analyzes the website visitor’s behavior based on various features. This analysis begins automatically as soon as the website visitor accesses the site. reCAPTCHA analyzes various information (e.g., IP address, time spent on the website, or mouse movements made by the user). The data captured during the analysis is transmitted to Google.

The reCAPTCHA analyses run entirely in the background. Website visitors are not informed that an analysis is taking place.

Data processing is based on Article 6 (1) lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in protecting its web offerings from abusive automated espionage and spam.

More information on Google reCAPTCHA and Google’s privacy policy can be found here:

https://www.google.com/intl/de/policies/privacy/ and https://www.google.com/recaptcha/intro/android.html.

5. Newsletter

Newsletter Data

If you wish to receive the newsletter offered on the website, we require your email address and information that allows us to verify that you are the owner of the specified email address and agree to receive the newsletter. No additional data is collected, or only on a voluntary basis. This data is used exclusively to send the requested information and is not passed on to third parties.

Processing of the data entered in the newsletter registration form is carried out only based on your consent (Article 6 (1) lit. a GDPR). You may revoke the consent given to the storage of the data, your email address, and its use for sending the newsletter at any time, for example via the “UNSUBSCRIBE” link in the newsletter. The legality of the data processed before the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

The data you provide to us for the purpose of receiving the newsletter will be stored by us until you unsubscribe from the newsletter and deleted after unsubscription. Data stored for other purposes (e.g., email addresses for the member area) remains unaffected.

6. Plugins and Tools

Google Maps

This site uses the Google Maps service via an API. Provider is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.

Using Google Maps requires storing your IP address. This information is typically transmitted to and stored on a Google server in the USA. The provider of this site has no influence on this data transmission.

The use of Google Maps serves the interest of an appealing presentation of our online offerings and the easy findability of the places specified by us on the website. This constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Article 6 (1) lit. f GDPR.

More information on handling user data can be found in Google’s privacy policy:

https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/.

Google Web Fonts

This site uses so‑called Web Fonts provided by Google to ensure a uniform presentation of fonts. When a page is called, your browser loads the necessary Web Fonts into its cache to correctly display texts and fonts.

To do this, your browser must connect to Google’s servers. As a result, Google becomes aware that our website was accessed via your IP address. The use of Google Web Fonts is in the interest of a uniform and appealing presentation of our online offerings. This constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Article 6 (1) lit. f GDPR.

If your browser does not support Web Fonts, a standard font on your computer will be used.

More information about Google Web Fonts can be found here:
