data protection
and security

IP anonymization is active on this website. However, by activating IP anonymization through the -anonymizeIP function on this website, your IP address will be truncated beforehand 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.

On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of the website, compiling reports on website activity and providing other services relating to website activity and internet usage to the website operator.

The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other data from Google.

You may refuse the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser, however please note that if you do this you may not be able to use the full functionality of this website. The data will be deleted after 14 months.

You can also prevent the collection of data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) to Google, as well as the processing of this data by Google, by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at the following link:
http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de.

The terms of use and notes on data protection can be found at http://www.google.com/analytics/terms/de.html or at https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/.

Google processes your personal data on our behalf. We have therefore concluded an order processing agreement with Google in accordance with Art. 28 (3) DSGVO, in which Google undertakes to protect your personal data and not to disclose it to third parties for purposes other than those mentioned above.

The legal basis for the use of Google Analytics is your consent pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1. p. 1 lit. a DSGVO, insofar as you give us your consent to this when you first call up the page.

Since there is no EU Commission adequacy decision for the transfer of personal data to the USA, we have concluded standard data protection clauses with Google in the sense of Art. 46 para. 2 lit. c DSGVO.

You can revoke your consent to data processing and transfer at any time without giving reasons by sending a message to the specified contact details of our data protection officer, deleting the cookies in your browser or by clicking on the following link:

Google Doubleclick

We use the online marketing method Google "DoubleClick" to place ads in the Google advertising network (e.g., in search results, in videos, on web pages, etc.). DoubleClick is characterized by the fact that ads are displayed in real time based on presumed user interests. This allows us to display ads for and within our online offering in a more targeted manner to present users only with ads that potentially match their interests.

If, for example, a user is shown ads for products he or she was interested in on other online offers, this is referred to as "remarketing". For these purposes, when our website and other websites on which the Google advertising network is active are called up, a code is executed directly by Google and so-called (re)marketing tags (invisible graphics or code, also referred to as "web beacons") are integrated into the website. With their help, an individual cookie, i.e. a small file, is stored on the user's device (comparable technologies can also be used instead of cookies). This file records which web pages the user has visited, which content the user is interested in and which offers the user has clicked on, as well as technical information about the browser and operating system, referring web pages, time of visit and other information about the use of the online offer.

The IP address of the user is also recorded, whereby this is shortened within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area and only in exceptional cases is transferred in full to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. The aforementioned information may also be combined on the part of Google with such information from other sources. If the user subsequently visits other websites, he may be shown ads tailored to his interests based on his user profile.

The user's data is processed pseudonymously within the Google advertising network. This means that Google does not store and process the name or email address of the user, for example, but processes the relevant data on a cookie basis within pseudonymous user profiles. I.e. from Google's perspective, the ads are not managed and displayed for a specifically identified person, but for the cookie holder, regardless of who this cookie holder is. This does not apply if a user has expressly allowed Google to process the data without this pseudonymization. The information collected by Google marketing services about users is transmitted to Google and stored on Google's servers in the USA.

The legal basis for the use of Google DoubleClick is your consent pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1. p. 1 lit. a DSGVO, insofar as you give us your consent to this when you first call up the page.

Since there is no EU Commission adequacy decision for the transfer of personal data to the USA, we have concluded standard data protection clauses with Google in the sense of Art. 46 para. 2 lit. c DSGVO.

For further information on data use by Google, setting and objection options, please refer to Google's privacy policy (https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads) as well as the settings for the display of advertisements by Google (https://adssettings.google.com/authenticated).
