We have concluded a data processing agreement (DPA) with the above-mentioned provider. This is a contract required by data protection law, which ensures that this provider only processes the personal data of our website visitors in accordance with our instructions and in compliance with the GDPR.

Collection of data and log files

We collect data on the basis of legitimate interests in accordance with GDPR Art. 6 para. 1f. about every access to the server of the service (so-called server log files). 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, version, the user's operating system, referrer URL (the previously visited page), IP address and the requesting provider.

For security reasons (e.g. to investigate misuse or fraud in connection with access), log file information is stored for a maximum of seven days and then deleted. Data that is required to preserve evidence is excluded from deletion until the incident has been clarified.

Cookies & range measurement

Cookies consist of information that is transferred from our own server or that of a third party to the user's browser and stored there for later retrieval. Cookies can be small files or similar types of information storage.

We use session cookies, which are only active for the duration of the current visit to one of our websites. A randomly generated and unique identification number, a so-called session ID, is stored in a session cookie. In addition, the cookie contains information about its origin and storage duration - it cannot store any other data.

The session cookie is deleted when the use of our online offer has ended, i.e. when you log out or close the browser. The user is informed about the use of cookies in the context of pseudonymous reach measurement in the privacy policy.

If the storage of cookies on the user's computer is not desired, the user is asked to deactivate the corresponding option in the system settings of their browser. Saved cookies can be deleted in the system settings of your browser. The exclusion of cookies can lead to functional restrictions of our online services.

Google Analytics

On the basis of our legitimate interests (interest in the analysis, optimization and economic operation of our online offer within the meaning of GDPR Art. 6 para. 1f), we use Google Analytics, a web analysis service of Google Inc. Google uses cookies, i.e. the user information about the use of the online offer is transferred to a server in the USA and stored there.

Google is certified under the Privacy Shield Agreement and guarantees compliance with European data protection law. You can find more information here: https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt000000001L5AAI&status=Active).
‍
Google uses this information on our behalf to evaluate the use of our website by users, to compile reports on the activities within our website and to provide further services associated with the use of our website and the Internet. The data processed in this way can be used to create user profiles using pseudonyms.
‍
We use Google Analytics to display ads within the advertising services of Google and its partners only to users who have shown interest in our online services or who have certain characteristics (e.g. interest in certain topics or products determined by the website visited). By using remarketing audiences, we want to ensure that our ads correspond to the potential interest of users and are not annoying.

We only use Google Analytics with activated IP anonymization. This means that the user's IP address is shortened and pseudonymized 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 shortened there; the transmitted IP address of the user will not be merged with other Google data. The user can prevent the storage of cookies by deactivating the corresponding option in their browser system settings. 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: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de.

Facebook, Custom Audiences and Facebook Marketing Services

On the basis of our legitimate interests (i.e. interest in the analysis, economic and efficient operation of our online offer), we use the “Facebook pixel” service of the social network Facebook of Facebook Inc. based at 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA, or, if you are resident in the European Union, Facebook Ireland Ltd. based at 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland, within our online offer. Facebook is certified under the Privacy Shield Agreement, which guarantees compliance with European data protection law.
‍
By using the Facebook pixel, Facebook is able to determine the visitors to our website as a target group for the placement of advertisements (“Facebook ads”). We use the Facebook pixel to display Facebook ads to Facebook users who have shown an interest in our online offering or who have certain characteristics (e.g. interest in certain topics or products determined by the website visited), which we transmit to Facebook (so-called “custom audiences”). By using Facebook pixels, we want to ensure that our Facebook ads correspond to the potential interest of users and are not annoying. With the Facebook pixel, we can also determine the effectiveness of our Facebook ads for statistical and market research purposes - so we can see whether the user was redirected to our website via the Facebook ad (so-called “conversion”).

When you visit our websites, Facebook pixels are immediately integrated and a cookie - a small file - can be stored on the user's device. If you subsequently log in to Facebook or visit while already logged in, the visit to our online offering will be saved in your profile. The personal data collected is anonymous to us so that the user cannot be identified by us. However, Facebook saves and processes the data so that a connection to a specific user profile can be established, which is used by Facebook and us for our own market research and advertising purposes. If data is sent to Facebook for comparison, it is encrypted locally in the user's browser and then transmitted to Facebook in encrypted form via a secure HTTPS connection. This is only the case if encrypted data is to be compared with similar encrypted data from Facebook.

On the basis of our legitimate interest, we use the “Custom Audiences from File” service of Facebook, Inc. to upload the email addresses of newsletter recipients to Facebook. The upload process is encrypted. The purpose of the upload is to determine the recipients of our Facebook ads. In this way, we want to ensure that the ads are only displayed to users who have shown an interest in our information and services.

The processing of data by Facebook is carried out in accordance with Facebook's data usage policy. You can find appropriate information on how to display Facebook ads in the Facebook data usage policy.

Specific information and details about Facebook pixels and how they work can be found in Facebook Help Center.

You can object to the collection of data by Facebook pixels and the processing of your data to place Facebook ads. To adjust the settings for which ads are displayed on Facebook, you can visit the corresponding Facebook page and visit the Instructions for changing usage-based ad settings follow. These settings are platform-independent, i.e. the changes apply to all types of devices (PC, mobile devices, etc.).

Note: Please note that Facebook does not currently offer an opt-out option - this must therefore be implied by yourself. If you want to object to the use of cookies, which are used for audience measurement and advertising purposes, you can visit the Network Advertising Initiative's opt-out page (https://optout.networkadvertising.org/) as well as the US website (https://www.aboutads.info/choices) or the European website (https://www.youronlinechoices.com/uk/your-ad-choices/).

Services and content from third parties

On the basis of our legitimate interests (interest in the analysis, economic and efficient operation of our online offer in accordance with GDPR Art. 6 para. 1f), we use third-party content offers and services to market their content offers and services, e.g. to market videos and fonts (used as content throughout). This requires that the third-party providers of this content use the user's IP address, as the content cannot be transmitted to the browser without an IP address. The IP address is therefore required to display this content. We endeavor to only use content whose providers only use the IP address to deliver the content. Third parties may also use so-called pixel tags (invisible graphics or codes, also known as “web beacons”) for static or marketing purposes. Pixel tags can be used to analyze information such as visitor traffic on subpages of the website. The pseudonymous data can be stored in cookies on the user's device and contain technical information about the browser and operating system, referring websites, the time of access and other information about the use of our online offering. This information is used to link it with other information from various sources.

The following description provides an overview of third parties and their respective contents, including a link to their respective data protection declarations, which contain further information on data processing and, as partly mentioned above, possibilities to object (so-called opt-out):

External fonts from Google, Inc. www.google.com/fonts (“Google Fonts”). Google Fonts are embedded via a server call (usually by Google US). Privacy policy: www.google.com/policies/privacy/, opt-out: www.google.com/settings/ads/.

Videos from the “YouTube” platform from the third-party provider Google Inc. 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. Privacy policy: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/, opt-out: https://www.google.com/settings/ads/.
