Collection of General Information

When you access our website, information of a general nature is automatically recorded. This information (server log files) includes, for example, the type of web browser, the operating system used, the domain name of your Internet service provider and the like. This is only information that does not allow conclusions about your person. This information is technically necessary to correctly deliver the contents of web pages requested by you and is mandatory when using the internet. Anonymous information of this kind is statistically evaluated by us, in order to optimize our Internet appearance and the technology behind it.

Server log files

The storage of server log files is based on art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The operator of the website has a legitimate interest in the technically error-free presentation of the website, which requires the collection of server log files.

Cookies

Like many other websites, we also use so-called “cookies”. Cookies are small text files that are transferred from a website server to your hard drive. This automatically gives us certain data, such as IP address, browser used, operating system from your computer and your connection to the Internet.

Cookies can not be used to launch programs or to transfer viruses to a computer. Based on the information contained in cookies, we can facilitate navigation and enable the correct display of our websites.

In no case will the data collected by us be passed on to third parties or a link with personal data be established without your consent.

Of course, you can also view our website without cookies. Internet browsers are regularly set to accept cookies. You can deactivate the use of cookies at any time via the settings of your browser. Please use the help features of your internet browser to find out how to change these settings. Please note that some features of our website may not work if you have disabled the use of cookies.

External Links

Our websites offer links to third party websites. The operators of this internet representation have no influence on the content of the linked pages. They were checked thoroughly prior to the links going live. Despite this we cannot rule out that the operators of the respective pages have made any changes to the contents that may breach current law or that may go against our corporate philosophy. We herewith distance ourselves from such content.

Provision of Paid Services

To provide paid services we ask for additional data, such as: Payment details.

SSL-Encryption

To protect the security of your data during transmission, we use state-of-the-art encryption techniques (such as SSL) over HTTPS.

Newsletter

When you sign up to receive our newsletter, the data you provide will be used exclusively for this purpose. Subscribers may also be notified by email about circumstances relevant to the service or registration (such as changes to the newsletter offer or technical conditions).

For an effective registration we need a valid e-mail address. In order to verify that an application is actually made by the owner of an e-mail address, we use the “Double opt-in” procedure. For this purpose we record the order of the newsletter, the dispatch of a confirmation mail and the receipt of the requested answer. Further data is not collected. The data will be used exclusively for the newsletter and will not be passed on to third parties.

The consent to the storage of your personal data and their use for the newsletter can be revoked at any time. Each newsletter has a link for doing so. In addition, you can unsubscribe from this website at any time or inform us of your request via the contact option indicated at the end of this Privacy Notice.

ANALYSIS BY WIREDMINDS

Our website uses the counting pixel technology of WiredMinds AG (WWW.WIREDMINDS.DE) to analyze visitor behavior.

We use products of WiredMinds for marketing and optimization purposes. These products collect and process your personal data and use it to create usage profiles under a pseudonym. These usage profiles are fully anonymized where possible and appropriate. We and WiredMinds employ cookies and/or Web beacons (also known as tracking pixels) on this website. We transfer the data we collect about you, which may also include personal data, to WiredMinds or WiredMinds gathers this data directly. WiredMinds is entitled to use information that you leave behind by visiting our Web sites to create anonymized usage profiles.

Data collection, processing and storage can be objected to at any time with effect for the future under the following link:

Google Analytics Reports on Demographic Characteristics and Interests

We have activated the advertising reporting features in Google Analytics. The reports on demographic characteristics and interests contains information on age, gender and interests. This allows us to get a better picture of our users – without being able to assign this data to individual persons. You can find out more about the advertising functions HERE.
You can stop the use of the activities and information of your Google account under "advertising settings" HERE.

We use Google Analytics exclusively on the basis of your consent in accordance with art. 6 para. 1 lit a GDPR. You can withdraw your consent at any time here under the menu item "open cookie settings".

Your data will be stored for 26 months after the collection.

GOOGLE TAG MANAGER

This website uses the Google Tag Manager. Through this service, website tags can be managed via an interface. The Google Tag Manager only implements tags. This means that no cookies are used and no personal data is stored. The Google Tag Manager triggers other tags, which in turn may collect data. However, the Google Tag Manager does not access this data. If a deactivation has been made at domain or cookie level, it remains in place for all tracking tags, as far as these are implemented with the Google Tag Manager.

Contact Form

If you contact us by e-mail or contact form, the information you provide will be stored for the purpose of processing the request and for possible follow-up questions.

Using Script Libraries (Google Webfonts)

In order to render our content correctly and graphically appealing across browsers, we use script libraries and font libraries on this website, such as: Google Webfonts. Google web fonts are transferred to the cache of your browser to prevent multiple loading. If the browser does not support Google Web fonts or prohibits access, content will be displayed in a standard font.

The call of script libraries or font libraries automatically triggers a connection to the operator of the library. It is theoretically possible - but currently also unclear whether and if so for what purposes - that operators of such libraries collect data.

The privacy policy of the library operator Google can be found here. 

We use web fonts exclusively on the basis of our legitimate interests in accordance with art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. Our legitimate interest is the appealing display of fonts.

After collection, your data will be stored for as long as is necessary for the respective task to be carried out, taking into account the legal storage periods. You can find more information about the storage of your data here. 

We use Google Analytics exclusively on the basis of your consent in accordance with art. 6 para. 1 lit a GDPR. You can withdraw your consent at any time here under the menu item "open cookie settings".

Your data will be stored for 26 months after the collection.

Google AdWords

Our website uses Google Conversion Tracking. If you have reached our website via an advertisement sent by Google, Google Adwords will set a cookie on your computer. The conversion tracking cookie is set when a user clicks on a Google-served ad. These cookies lose their validity after 30 days and are not used for personal identification. If the user visits certain pages on our website and the cookie has not expired, we and Google may recognize that the user clicked on the ad and was redirected to this page. Each Google AdWords customer receives a different cookie. Cookies can not be tracked through AdWords advertisers' websites. The information gathered using the conversion cookie is used to generate conversion statistics for AdWords advertisers who have opted for conversion tracking. Customers are told the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a conversion tracking tag page. However, they do not receive information that personally identifies users.

If you do not want to participate in the tracking, you can refuse the required setting of a cookie - for example via a browser setting that generally disables the automatic setting of cookies or sets your browser to block cookies from the domain “googleleadservices.com”.

Please note that you can not delete the opt-out cookies as long as you do not want to record measurement data. If you have deleted all your cookies in the browser, you must set the respective opt-out cookie again.

We use Google Adwords exclusively on the basis of our legitimate interests in accordance with art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in measuring the success of our advertising measures.

After collection, your data will be stored for as long as is necessary for the respective task to be carried out, taking into account the legal storage periods. You can find more information about the storage of your data here. 

Note on data transfer to the USA

Among other things, we use tools from companies based in the USA or other third countries that are not secure in terms of data protection law. If these tools are active, your personal data can be transferred to these third countries and processed there. We would like to point out that no data protection level comparable to that in the EU can be guaranteed in these countries.
For example, US companies are obliged to hand over  personal data to security authorities without you, the data subject, being ablte to  take legal action. It can therefore not be ruled out that US authorities (e.g. secret services) process, evaluate and permanently store your data on US servers for monitoring purposes. We have no influence on these processing activities.

Embedded YouTube videos with extended data protection configuration

Some of our websites embed YouTube videos. The provider of the associated YouTube plugins is Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. 7 / 9. We use YouTube in the extended data protection mode. According to YouTube, this mode means that YouTube does not save any information about visitors to this website before they watch the video. However, the extended data protection mode does not necessarily preclude the transfer of data to YouTube partners. For example, regardless of whether you are watching a video, YouTube connects to the Google DoubleClick network. As soon as you start a YouTube video on this website, a connection to the YouTube servers is established. The YouTube server is informed which of our pages you have visited. If you are logged into your YouTube account, you enable YouTube to assign your surfing behavior directly to your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account. Furthermore, YouTube can save various cookies on your end device after starting a video. With the help of these cookies, YouTube can receive information about visitors to this website. This information is used, among other things, to collect video statistics, improve usability and prevent fraud. The cookies remain on your device until you delete them. If necessary, further data processing processes can be triggered after the start of a YouTube video, over which we have no influence.

Information on data protection at YouTube can be found in their data protection declaration at: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en.

We use YouTube exclusively on the basis of our legitimate interests in accordance with art. 6 para. 1 lit.f GDPR. Our legitimate interest is the appealing presentation of our online offers.

After collection, your data will be stored for as long as is necessary for the respective task to be carried out, taking into account the legal storage periods. You can find more information about the storage of your data here. 

Data Subject Rights

You have the right to receive information about your personal data stored by us at any time. Likewise, you have the right to correction, blocking or, apart from the prescribed data storage for business transactions, deletion of your personal data. Please contact our data protection officer. The contact details can be found at the bottom.

For a data lock to be taken into account at all times, these data must be stored in a lock file for control purposes. You can also request the deletion of the data, as long as there is no legal archiving obligation. As far as such an obligation exists, we lock your data on request.

You can make changes or revoke your consent by notifying us with effect for the future.

You have the right to object at any time to any processing of your personal data based on Art. 6 (1) (e) and (f) GDPR. We will then no longer process the personal data unless we can prove compelling reasons worthy of protection which outweigh the interests, rights and freedoms of the person concerned.

You also have the right to complain to the relevant regulatory authority about the processing of data by our company.

The data protection authority responsible for our company is:
Data Protection Authority of Bavaria for the Private Sector
Promenade 27 (Schloss)
91522 Ansbach

Right to data portability
You have the right to have data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfilment of a contract  to yourself or to a third party in a common, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another data controller, this will only be done  insofar it is technically feasible.

Change of our privacy policy

We reserve the right to change this Privacy Policy from time to time to ensure that it complies with current legal requirements or to implement changes to our services in the Privacy Policy, for example when introducing new services. Your new visit will be subject to the new privacy policy.
