Purpose of processing

- Provision of the online offer, its functions and contents.
- Answering contact requests and communicating with users.
- Safety measures.
- Reach measurement/marketing Terms used

Personal data is all information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (hereinafter referred to as the “data subject”); an identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier (e.g. a cookie), or to one or more special characteristics that express the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person.

Processing is any operation or set of operations which is performed on personal data or on sets of personal data, whether or not by automated means. The term is broad and covers practically every handling of data.

Pseudonymisation means the processing of personal data in such a manner that the personal data can no longer be attributed to a specific data subject without the use of additional information, provided that such additional information is kept separately and is subject to technical and organisational measures to ensure that the personal data are not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.

Profiling means any form of automated processing of personal data consisting of the use of personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to analyse or predict aspects concerning that natural person's performance at work, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behaviour, location or movements.

The controller is the natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which alone or jointly with others decides on the purposes and means of processing personal data.

Processor means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which processes personal data on behalf of the controller.
Relevant legal bases

In accordance with Art. 13 GDPR, we will inform you of the legal basis for our data processing. If the legal basis is not mentioned in the data protection declaration, the following applies: The legal basis for obtaining consent is Art. 6 (1) (a) and Art. 7 GDPR, the legal basis for processing to fulfill our services and carry out contractual measures as well as answering inquiries is Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR, the legal basis for processing to fulfill our legal obligations is Art. 6 (1) (c) GDPR, and the legal basis for processing to protect our legitimate interests is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. In the event that vital interests of the data subject or another natural person require the processing of personal data, Art. 6 (1) (d) GDPR serves as the legal basis.
Safety measures

In accordance with Art. 32 GDPR, we take appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure a level of protection appropriate to the risk, taking into account the state of the art, the implementation costs and the nature, scope, circumstances and purposes of the processing as well as the varying likelihood and severity of the risk to the rights and freedoms of natural persons.

The measures include in particular ensuring the confidentiality, integrity and availability of data by controlling physical access to the data, as well as access to it, input, transfer, ensuring availability and separation. Furthermore, we have set up procedures that ensure the exercise of data subject rights, deletion of data and response to data threats. Furthermore, we take the protection of personal data into account when developing or selecting hardware, software and processes, in accordance with the principle of data protection through technology design and through data protection-friendly default settings (Art. 25 GDPR).
Cooperation with processors and third parties

If, as part of our processing, we disclose data to other persons and companies, contract processors or third parties, transmit it to them or otherwise grant them access to the data, this will only be done on the basis of a legal permission, e.g. if a transmission of the data to third parties, such as payment service providers, is necessary to fulfil the contract in accordance with Art. 6 Paragraph 1 Letter b of GDPR, you have consented, a legal obligation provides for this or on the basis of our legitimate interests, e.g. when using agents, web hosts, etc.

If we commission third parties to process data on the basis of a so-called order processing agreement, this is done on the basis of Art. 28 GDPR.
Transfers to third countries

If we process data in a third country, i.e. outside the European Union (EU) or the European Economic Area (EEA), or if this happens as part of the use of third-party services or the disclosure or transmission of data to third parties, this will only take place if it is to fulfil our contractual obligations, on the basis of your consent, due to a legal obligation or on the basis of our legitimate interests. Subject to legal or contractual permissions, we only process or have data processed in a third country if the special requirements of Art. 44 ff. GDPR are met. This means that the processing is carried out, for example, on the basis of special guarantees, such as the officially recognized determination of a data protection level corresponding to that of the EU (e.g. for the USA through the “Privacy Shield”) or compliance with officially recognized special contractual obligations (so-called “standard contractual clauses”).

Cookies and right to object to direct advertising

Cookies are small files that are stored on users' computers. Different information can be stored within cookies. A cookie is primarily used to store information about a user (or the device on which the cookie is stored) during or after their visit to an online service. Temporary cookies, or "session cookies" or "transient cookies", are cookies that are deleted after a user leaves an online service and closes their browser. Such a cookie can store, for example, the contents of a shopping cart in an online shop or a login status. Cookies that remain stored even after the browser is closed are referred to as "permanent" or "persistent". For example, the login status can be stored if the user visits the site several days later. Likewise, the interests of the user can be stored in such a cookie, which is used for reach measurement or marketing purposes. “Third-party cookies” are cookies that are offered by providers other than the person responsible for operating the online service; otherwise, if they are only their cookies, they are referred to as first-party cookies.

We may use temporary and permanent cookies and explain this in our privacy policy.

If users do not want cookies to be stored on their computer, they are asked to deactivate the corresponding option in the system settings of their browser. Stored cookies can be deleted in the system settings of the browser. The exclusion of cookies can lead to functional restrictions of this online service.

A general objection to the use of cookies used for online marketing purposes can be declared for a large number of services, especially in the case of tracking, via the US website http://www.aboutads.info/choices/ or the EU website http://www.youronlinechoices.com/. Furthermore, cookies can be blocked by deactivating them in the browser settings. Please note that in this case, not all functions of this website may be available.
Deletion of data

The data we process is deleted or restricted in accordance with Art. 17 and 18 GDPR. Unless expressly stated in this privacy policy, the data stored by us is deleted as soon as it is no longer required for its intended purpose and there are no statutory retention periods that prevent deletion. If the data is not deleted because it is required for other legally permissible purposes, its processing will be restricted. This means that the data is blocked and not processed for other purposes. This applies, for example, to data that must be retained for commercial or tax reasons.

According to legal requirements in Germany, storage takes place in particular for 10 years in accordance with Sections 147 Para. 1 AO, 257 Para. 1 No. 1 and 4, Para. 4 HGB (books, records, management reports, accounting documents, commercial books, documents relevant for taxation, etc.) and 6 years in accordance with Section 257 Para. 1 No. 2 and 3, Para. 4 HGB commercial letters.

According to legal requirements in Austria, storage takes place in particular for 7 years in accordance with Section 132 Para. 1 BAO (accounting documents, receipts/invoices, accounts, receipts, business papers, statements of income and expenditure, etc.), for 22 years in connection with real estate and for 10 years for documents in connection with electronically provided services, telecommunications, radio and television services that are provided to non-entrepreneurs in EU member states and for which the Mini One Stop Shop (MOSS) is used.

Agency services

We process our customers’ data as part of our contractual services, which include conceptual and strategic consulting, campaign planning, software and design development/consulting or maintenance, implementation of campaigns and processes/handling, server administration, data analysis/consulting services and training services.

We process inventory data (e.g. customer master data such as names or addresses), contact data (e.g. email, telephone numbers), content data (e.g. text entries, photographs, videos), contract data (e.g. contract subject matter, term), payment data (e.g. bank details, payment history), usage and metadata (e.g. in the context of the evaluation and measurement of the success of marketing measures). We do not process special categories of personal data unless these are part of a commissioned processing. Those affected include our customers, interested parties and their customers, users, website visitors or employees as well as third parties. The purpose of the processing is to provide contractual services, billing and our customer service. The legal basis for the processing arises from Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b GDPR (contractual services), Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR (analysis, statistics, optimization, security measures). We process data that is necessary to justify and fulfill the contractual services and point out the necessity of providing it. Disclosure to external parties only takes place if it is necessary as part of an order. When processing the data provided to us as part of an order, we act in accordance with the instructions of the client and the legal requirements for order processing in accordance with Art. 28 GDPR and do not process the data for any purposes other than those specified in the order.

We delete the data after the expiry of statutory warranty and similar obligations. The necessity of storing the data is reviewed every three years; in the case of statutory archiving obligations, deletion takes place after these have expired (6 years, according to Section 257 Para. 1 HGB, 10 years, according to Section 147 Para. 1 AO). In the case of data that was disclosed to us by the client as part of an order, we delete the data in accordance with the specifications of the order, generally after the end of the order.

Therapeutic services and coaching

We process the data of our clients and interested parties and other clients or contractual partners (collectively referred to as “clients”) in accordance with Art. 6 Paragraph 1 Letter b) of GDPR in order to provide them with our contractual or pre-contractual services. The data processed here, the type, scope and purpose and the necessity of their processing are determined by the underlying contractual relationship. The data processed generally includes inventory and master data of the clients (e.g. name, address, etc.), as well as contact details (e.g. email address, telephone, etc.), contract data (e.g. services used, fees, names of contact persons, etc.) and payment data e.g. bank details, payment history.

As part of our services, we may also process special categories of data in accordance with Art. 9 Para. 1 GDPR, in particular information about the health of clients, possibly with reference to their sex life or sexual orientation, ethnic origin or religious or ideological beliefs. To do so, we will obtain an explicit consent from the client where necessary in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a., Art. 7, Art. 9 Para. 2 lit. a. GDPR and otherwise process the special categories of data for the purposes of healthcare on the basis of Art. 9 Para. 2 lit h. GDPR, Section 22 Para. 1 No. 1 b. BDSG.

If necessary for the performance of the contract or legally required, we will disclose or transmit client data as part of the communication with other specialists, to third parties who are necessarily or typically involved in the contract fulfilment, such as accounting offices or similar service providers, insofar as this serves the provision of our services in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b. GDPR, is legally required in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. c. GDPR, serves our interests or those of the client in efficient and cost-effective healthcare as a legitimate interest in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f. GDPR or is necessary in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. d. GDPR to protect the vital interests of the client or another natural person or within the scope of consent in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a., Art. 7 GDPR.

The data will be deleted if the data is no longer required to fulfil contractual or legal duties of care or to deal with any warranty or similar obligations, whereby the necessity of retaining the data is reviewed every three years; otherwise, the statutory retention periods apply.

Administration, financial accounting, office organization, contact management

We process data as part of administrative tasks and the organization of our business, financial accounting and compliance with legal obligations, such as archiving. In doing so, we process the same data that we process as part of the provision of our contractual services. The processing bases are Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. c. GDPR, Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f. GDPR. Customers, interested parties, business partners and website visitors are affected by the processing. The purpose of and our interest in the processing lies in administration, financial accounting, office organization, archiving of data, i.e. tasks that serve to maintain our business activities, perform our tasks and provide our services. The deletion of data with regard to contractual services and contractual communication corresponds to the information given in these processing activities.

We disclose or transmit data to the tax authorities, consultants such as tax consultants or auditors as well as other fee offices and payment service providers.

Furthermore, we store information about suppliers, event organizers and other business partners based on our business interests, e.g. for the purpose of later contact. We generally store this data, which is mostly company-related, permanently.

Participation in affiliate partner programs

Within our online offering, we use industry-standard tracking measures based on our legitimate interests (i.e. interest in the analysis, optimization and economic operation of our online offering) in accordance with Art. 6 Paragraph 1 Letter f of GDPR, insofar as these are necessary for the operation of the affiliate system. Below we explain the technical background to users.

The services offered by our contractual partners can also be advertised and linked on other websites (so-called affiliate links or after-buy systems, for example when links or services from third parties are offered after a contract has been concluded). The operators of the respective websites receive a commission when users follow the affiliate links and then take advantage of the offers.

In summary, it is necessary for our online offering that we can track whether users who are interested in affiliate links and/or the offers available from us subsequently take advantage of the offers at the instigation of the affiliate links or our online platform. For this purpose, the affiliate links and our offers are supplemented with certain values that can be part of the link or set elsewhere, e.g. in a cookie. The values include in particular the source website (referrer), time, an online identifier of the operator of the website on which the affiliate link was located, an online identifier of the respective offer, an online identifier of the user, as well as tracking-specific values such as advertising material ID, partner ID and categorizations.

The online identifiers we use for users are pseudonymous values. This means that the online identifiers themselves do not contain any personal data such as names or email addresses. They only help us to determine whether the same user who clicked on an affiliate link or was interested in an offer via our online offering has accepted the offer, i.e., for example, has concluded a contract with the provider. However, the online identifier is personal insofar as the partner company and we have the online identifier together with other user data. This is the only way the partner company can tell us whether the user has accepted the offer and whether we can, for example, pay out the bonus.

Data protection information in the application process

We process applicant data only for the purpose and within the scope of the application process in accordance with the legal requirements. Applicant data is processed to fulfil our (pre)contractual obligations within the scope of the application process within the meaning of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b. GDPR Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f. GDPR if data processing becomes necessary for us, for example, within the scope of legal proceedings (in Germany, Section 26 BDSG also applies).

The application process requires applicants to provide us with their application data. The necessary application data is marked if we offer an online form, otherwise it is derived from the job descriptions and generally includes personal details, postal and contact addresses and the documents associated with the application, such as a cover letter, CV and references. Applicants can also voluntarily provide us with additional information.

By submitting their application to us, applicants agree to the processing of their data for the purposes of the application process in accordance with the manner and scope set out in this data protection declaration.

If special categories of personal data within the meaning of Art. 9 Para. 1 GDPR are voluntarily communicated as part of the application process, they will also be processed in accordance with Art. 9 Para. 2 lit. b GDPR (e.g. health data, such as severe disability status or ethnic origin). If special categories of personal data within the meaning of Art. 9 Para. 1 GDPR are requested from applicants as part of the application process, they will also be processed in accordance with Art. 9 Para. 2 lit. a GDPR (e.g. health data if this is necessary for the exercise of the profession).

If provided, applicants can send us their applications using an online form on our website. The data is transmitted to us in encrypted form in accordance with the state of the art.
Applicants can also send us their applications via email. However, please note that emails are generally not sent encrypted and applicants must ensure that they are encrypted themselves. We cannot therefore accept any responsibility for the transmission path of the application between the sender and the receipt on our server and therefore recommend using an online form or sending it by post. Instead of applying via the online form and email, applicants still have the option of sending us their application by post.

The data provided by applicants may be further processed by us for the purposes of the employment relationship in the event of a successful application. Otherwise, if the application for a job offer is not successful, the applicants' data will be deleted. The applicants' data will also be deleted if an application is withdrawn, which applicants are entitled to do at any time.

Subject to a legitimate revocation by the applicant, the data will be deleted after a period of six months, so that we can answer any follow-up questions about the application and meet our proof obligations under the Equal Treatment Act. Invoices for any reimbursement of travel expenses will be archived in accordance with tax law requirements.

contact

When you contact us (e.g. via contact form, email, telephone or via social media), the user's details are processed to process the contact request and its handling in accordance with Art. 6 Paragraph 1 Letter b) GDPR. Users' details may be stored in a customer relationship management system ("CRM system") or comparable inquiry organization.

We delete the requests if they are no longer required. We check the necessity every two years; statutory archiving obligations also apply.

Newsletter

With the following information we inform you about the contents of our newsletter as well as the registration, dispatch and statistical evaluation procedures as well as your right of objection. By subscribing to our newsletter you agree to receive it and to the procedures described.

Content of the newsletter: We only send newsletters, emails and other electronic notifications with advertising information (hereinafter "newsletter") with the consent of the recipient or with legal permission. If the contents of the newsletter are specifically described when registering for the newsletter, they are decisive for the user's consent. Otherwise, our newsletters contain information about our services and us.

Double opt-in and logging: Registration for our newsletter is carried out using a so-called double opt-in process. This means that after registration you will receive an email asking you to confirm your registration. This confirmation is necessary so that no one can register using someone else's email address. Registrations for the newsletter are logged in order to be able to prove the registration process in accordance with legal requirements. This includes storing the time of registration and confirmation, as well as the IP address. Changes to your data stored by the shipping service provider are also logged.

Registration data: To register for the newsletter, it is sufficient to provide your email address. Optionally, we ask you to provide a name so that we can address you personally in the newsletter.

The newsletter is sent and its associated performance measurement is based on the consent of the recipient in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a, Art. 7 GDPR in conjunction with Section 7 Para. 2 No. 3 UWG or, if consent is not required, on the basis of our legitimate interests in direct marketing in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f. GDPR in conjunction with Section 7 Para. 3 UWG.

The registration process is logged on the basis of our legitimate interests in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. Our interest is in using a user-friendly and secure newsletter system that serves our business interests and meets the expectations of users and also allows us to provide evidence of consent.

Cancellation/Revocation - You can cancel your subscription to our newsletter at any time, i.e. revoke your consent. You will find a link to cancel the newsletter at the end of each newsletter. We can store the unsubscribed email addresses for up to three years on the basis of our legitimate interests before we delete them in order to be able to prove that consent was previously given. The processing of this data is limited to the purpose of a possible defense against claims. An individual request for deletion is possible at any time, provided that the previous existence of consent is confirmed at the same time.

Hosting and email sending

The hosting services we use serve to provide the following services: infrastructure and platform services, computing capacity, storage space and database services, e-mail sending, security services and technical maintenance services, which we use for the purpose of operating this online offering.

In doing so, we or our hosting provider process inventory data, contact data, content data, contract data, usage data, meta and communication data of customers, interested parties and visitors to this online offer on the basis of our legitimate interests in the efficient and secure provision of this online offer in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR in conjunction with Art. 28 GDPR (conclusion of a data processing contract).

Collection of access data and log files

We, or our hosting provider, collect data on every access to the server on which this service is located (so-called server log files) on the basis of our legitimate interests within the meaning of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f. GDPR. The access data includes the name of the website accessed, file, date and time of access, amount of data transferred, notification of successful access, browser type and version, the user's operating system, referrer URL (the previously visited page), IP address and the requesting provider.

Log file information is stored for security reasons (e.g. to investigate misuse or fraud) for a maximum of 7 days and then deleted. Data that needs to be stored for evidentiary purposes is exempt from deletion until the respective incident has been finally resolved.

Google Analytics

Based on our legitimate interests (i.e. interest in the analysis, optimization and economic operation of our online offering within the meaning of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f. GDPR), we use Google Analytics, a web analysis service of Google LLC ("Google"). Google uses cookies. The information generated by the cookie about the use of the online offering by users is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there.

Google is certified under the Privacy Shield Agreement and thus offers a guarantee to comply with European data protection law (https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt000000001L5AAI&status=Active).

Google will use this information on our behalf to evaluate the use of our website by users, to compile reports on the activities within this website and to provide us with other services related to the use of this website and the Internet. Pseudonymous user profiles can be created from the processed data.

We only use Google Analytics with activated IP anonymization. This means that the user's IP address is shortened 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.

The IP address transmitted by the user's browser will not be merged with other data from Google. Users can prevent the storage of cookies by setting their browser software accordingly; users can also prevent Google from collecting the data generated by the cookie and relating to their use of the website 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.

For more information about Google's use of data, settings and objection options, please see Google's privacy policy (https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads) and the settings for the display of advertisements by Google (https://adssettings.google.com/authenticated).

Users’ personal data will be deleted or anonymized after 14 months.

Facebook Pixel, Custom Audiences and Facebook Conversion

Due to our legitimate interests in the analysis, optimization and economic operation of our online offering and for these purposes, the so-called "Facebook pixel" of the social network Facebook, which is operated by 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 ("Facebook"), is used within our online offering.

Facebook is certified under the Privacy Shield Agreement and thus offers a guarantee to comply with European data protection law (https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt0000000GnywAAC&status=Active).

With the help of the Facebook pixel, Facebook is able to determine the visitors to our online offering as a target group for the display of advertisements (so-called "Facebook ads"). Accordingly, we use the Facebook pixel to only display the Facebook ads placed by us to those Facebook users who have also shown an interest in our online offering or who have certain characteristics (e.g. interests in certain topics or products determined based on the websites visited) that we transmit to Facebook (so-called "custom audiences"). With the help of the Facebook pixel, we also want to ensure that our Facebook ads correspond to the potential interests of users and do not appear annoying. With the help of the Facebook pixel, we can also track the effectiveness of Facebook advertisements for statistical and market research purposes by seeing whether users were redirected to our website after clicking on a Facebook advertisement (so-called "conversion").

The processing of data by Facebook takes place within the framework of Facebook's data usage guidelines. Accordingly, general information on the display of Facebook ads can be found in Facebook's data usage guidelines: https://www.facebook.com/policy.php. Specific information and details on the Facebook pixel and how it works can be found in the Facebook help section: https://www.facebook.com/business/help/651294705016616.

You can object to the collection by the Facebook pixel and the use of your data to display Facebook ads. To set which types of advertisements are displayed to you within Facebook, you can visit the page set up by Facebook and follow the instructions there for the settings for usage-based advertising: https://www.facebook.com/settings?tab=ads. The settings are platform-independent, i.e. they are applied to all devices, such as desktop computers or mobile devices.

You can also object to the use of cookies that are used for reach measurement and advertising purposes via the deactivation page of the Network Advertising Initiative (http://optout.networkadvertising.org/) and additionally the US website (http://www.aboutads.info/choices) or the European website (http://www.youronlinechoices.com/uk/your-ad-choices/).

Online presence in social media

We maintain online presences within social networks and platforms in order to communicate with customers, interested parties and users active there and to inform them about our services. When you access the respective networks and platforms, the terms and conditions and data processing guidelines of their respective operators apply.

Unless otherwise stated in our privacy policy, we process users' data if they communicate with us within social networks and platforms, e.g. by writing posts on our online presence or sending us messages.

Integration of third-party services and content

Within our online offering, we use content or service offerings from third-party providers on the basis of our legitimate interests (i.e. interest in the analysis, optimization and economic operation of our online offering within the meaning of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f. GDPR) in order to integrate their content and services, such as videos or fonts (hereinafter uniformly referred to as “content”).

This always presupposes that the third-party providers of this content perceive the IP address of the user, since without the IP address they would not be able to send the content to their browser. The IP address is therefore required to display this content. We endeavor to only use content whose respective providers only use the IP address to deliver the content. Third-party providers can also use so-called pixel tags (invisible graphics, also known as "web beacons") for statistical or marketing purposes. The "pixel tags" can be used to evaluate information such as visitor traffic on the pages of this website. The pseudonymous information can also be stored in cookies on the user's device and contain, among other things, technical information about the browser and operating system, referring websites, time of visit and other information about the use of our online offer, as well as be linked to such information from other sources.

Youtube

We embed videos from the “YouTube” platform provided by Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. Privacy Policy: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/, Opt-Out: https://adssettings.google.com/authenticated.

Google Maps

We integrate the maps of the “Google Maps” service provided by Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. The data processed may include, in particular, IP addresses and location data of users, which are not collected without their consent (usually carried out as part of the settings on their mobile devices). The data may be processed in the USA. Privacy Policy: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/, Opt-Out: https://adssettings.google.com/authenticated.

Typekit fonts from Adobe

Based on our legitimate interests (i.e. interest in the analysis, optimization and economic operation of our online offering within the meaning of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f. GDPR), we use external "Typekit" fonts from the provider Adobe Systems Software Ireland Limited, 4-6 Riverwalk, Citywest Business Campus, Dublin 24, Republic of Ireland. Adobe is certified under the Privacy Shield Agreement and thus offers a guarantee of compliance with European data protection law (https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt0000000TNo9AAG&status=Active).

Use of Facebook social plugins

Based on our legitimate interests (i.e. interest in the analysis, optimization and economic operation of our online offering within the meaning of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f. GDPR), we use social plugins ("plugins") from the social network facebook.com, which is operated by Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland ("Facebook"). The plugins can display interaction elements or content (e.g. videos, graphics or text contributions) and are recognizable by one of the Facebook logos (white "f" on a blue tile, the terms "Like" 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/.

Facebook is certified under the Privacy Shield Agreement and thus offers a guarantee to comply with European data protection law (https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt0000000GnywAAC&status=Active).

If a user calls up a function of this website that contains such a plugin, their device establishes a direct connection to the Facebook servers. The content of the plugin is transmitted by Facebook directly to the user's device and integrated into the website by the user. User profiles can be created from the processed data. We therefore have no influence on the scope of the data that Facebook collects using this plugin and therefore inform users according to our level of knowledge.

By integrating the plug-ins, Facebook receives the information that a user has accessed the corresponding page of the online offering. If the user is logged in to Facebook, Facebook can assign the visit to their Facebook account. If users interact with the plug-ins, for example by clicking the Like button or leaving a comment, the corresponding information is transmitted directly from their device to Facebook and stored there. If a user is not a member of Facebook, it is still possible that Facebook will find out and store their IP address. According to Facebook, only an anonymized IP address is stored in Germany.

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 privacy policy: https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/.
