Rights of users and data subjects

With regard to the data processing described in more detail below, users and data subjects

have the right to

To confirmation as to whether data concerning them is being processed, to information about the data being processed, to further information about the data processing and to copies of the data (cf. also Art. 15 DSGVO);

to correction or completion of incorrect or incomplete data (cf. also 16 DSGVO);

to the immediate erasure of the data concerning them (cf. also Art. 17 DSGVO), or, alternatively, insofar as further processing is necessary pursuant to 17 (3) DSGVO, to the restriction of processing in accordance with Art. 18 DSGVO;

In addition, the Provider is obliged to inform all recipients to whom data has been disclosed by the Provider about any correction or deletion of data or restriction of processing that takes place on the basis of Articles 16, 17 (1), 18 DSGVO. However, this obligation does not exist insofar as this notification is impossible or involves a disproportionate effort. Notwithstanding the above, the user has a right to information about these recipients.

Likewise, users and data subjects have the right to object to the future processing of data concerning them in accordance with Art. 21 DSGVO, insofar as the data is processed by the provider in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) DSGVO. In particular, an objection to data processing for the purpose of direct marketing is permitted.

Akismet Anti-Spam

This site uses the Akismet plugin from Automattic Inc, 60 29th Street #343, San Francisco, CA 94110-4929, USA. This plugin is used to distinguish comments from real people from spam comments. For this purpose, all comment details are sent to a server in the USA, where

they are analyzed and stored for four days for comparison purposes. If a comment has been classified as spam, the data is stored beyond this time. This information includes the name entered, the email address, the IP address, the comment content, the referrer, information about the browser used as well as the computer system and the time of the entry. You are welcome to use pseudonyms, or to refrain from entering the name or email address. You can completely prevent the transmission of data by not using our comment system and contact forms. That would be a pity, but unfortunately we do not see any other alternatives that work just as effectively. You can object to the use of your data for the future at support@wordpress.com, subject “Deletion of Data stored by Akismet” under specification/description of the stored data.

The legal basis may also be the user’s consent pursuant to Art. 6 (1) a DSGVO vis-à-vis the platform operator. The user can revoke this consent for the future at any time by notifying the platform operator in accordance with Art. 7 (3) DSGVO.

When our online presence is called up on the Facebook platform, user data (e.g. personal information, IP address, etc.) is processed by Facebook Ireland Ltd. as the operator of the platform in the EU.

This user data is used for statistical information about the use of our company presence on Facebook. Facebook Ireland Ltd. uses this data for market research and advertising purposes and to create profiles of the users. On the basis of these profiles, it is possible for Facebook Ireland Ltd., for example, to advertise users within and outside of Facebook according to their interests.

The Google Analytics service is used to analyze the usage behavior of our website. The legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) DSGVO. Our legitimate interest lies in the analysis, optimization and economic operation of our website.

Usage and user-related information, such as IP address, location, time or frequency of visits to our website, is transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. However, we use Google Analytics with the so-called anonymization function. This function allows Google to truncate the IP address within the EU or EEA.

The data collected in this way is in turn used by Google to provide us with an evaluation of the visit to our website and the usage activities there. This data may also be used to provide other services related to the use of our website and the use of the Internet.

Google states that it does not associate your IP address with any other data. In addition, Google keeps at https://www.google.com/intl/de/policies/privacy/partners

The data protection information is available to you on our website, including information on how to prevent the use of your data.

In addition, Google offers a so-called deactivation add-on at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de together with further information on this. This add-on can be installed with the most common Internet browsers and offers you further control over the data that Google collects when you visit our website. The add-on tells the JavaScript (ga.js) of Google Analytics that information about the visit to our website should not be transmitted to Google Analytics. However, this does not prevent information from being transmitted to us or to other web analytics services. If and which other web analytics services are used by us, you will of course also find out in this privacy policy.

Google Ads with conversion tracking

In our website, we use

the advertising component Google Ads and the so-called conversion tracking. This is a service of Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, hereinafter referred to as “Google”.

We use conversion tracking for targeted advertising of our offer. The legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) DSGVO. Our legitimate interest lies in the analysis, optimization and economic operation of our website.

If you click on an ad placed by Google, the conversion tracking we use saves a cookie on your terminal device. These so-called conversion cookies lose their validity after 30 days and do not serve to identify you personally.

If the cookie is still valid and you visit a specific page of our website, both we and Google can evaluate that you have clicked on one of our ads placed on Google and that you have subsequently been redirected to our website.

Through the information obtained in this way, Google provides us with statistics about the visit to our website. In addition, we receive information about the number of users who have clicked on our ad(s) and about the pages of our website that were subsequently accessed.

However, neither we nor third parties who also use Google ads will be able to identify you in this way.

Through the appropriate settings of your Internet browser, you can also prevent or restrict the installation of cookies. At the same time, you can delete already stored cookies at any time. However, the steps and measures required for this depend on your specific Internet browser used. Therefore, if you have any questions, please use the help function or documentation of your Internet browser or contact its manufacturer or support.

jQuery CDN, a content delivery network (“CDN”). This is a service provided by the jQuery Foundation, hereinafter referred to as just “jQuery”. jQuery is distributed for the JS Foundation via the StackPath CDN.

In order to be able to deliver the content of our website quickly, the service uses so-called JavaScript libraries. In the process, corresponding files are loaded from the CDN server, insofar as they are not already available in your browser cache due to a visit to another website. In the case of a connection to the CDN server, your IP address is recorded. It cannot be ruled out that a connection is made to a server outside the EU.

The legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) DSGVO. Our legitimate interest lies in the acceleration of the loading times of our website and its optimization.

To prevent the execution of the Java Script code of jQuery altogether, you can install a so- called Java Script blocker, such as noscript.net or ghostery.com. However, if you prevent or restrict the execution of the Java Script code, for technical reasons this may mean that not all content and functions of our website are available.

Mittwald Privacy Policy

We use Mittwald, a web hosting tool, for our website. The service provider is the German company Mittwald CM Service GmbH & Co KG, Königsberger Straße 4-6, 32339 Espelkamp, Germany. You can learn more about the data processed by using Mittwald in the privacy policy at https://www.mittwald.de/datenschutz.

If you register for our free newsletter, the data you requested for this purpose, i.e. your e-mail address and – optionally – your name and address, will be transmitted to us. At the same time, we store the IP address of the Internet connection from which you access our website as well as the date and time of your registration. During the further registration process, we will ask for your consent to send you the newsletter, describe the content in detail and refer to this privacy policy. We use the data collected in this process exclusively for sending the newsletter – in particular, they are therefore not passed on to third parties.

The legal basis for this is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) DSGVO.

In accordance with Art. 7 (3) DSGVO, you can revoke your consent to the sending of the newsletter at any time with effect for the future. To do this, you only need to inform us of your revocation or click on the unsubscribe link contained in each newsletter.

Server data

For technical reasons, in particular to ensure a secure and stable Internet presence, data is

transmitted by your Internet browser to us or to our web space provider. These so-called server log files are used to collect, among other things, the type and version of your Internet browser, the operating system, the website from which you accessed our website (referrer URL), the website(s) of our website that you visit, the date and time of the respective access as well as the IP address of the Internet connection from which the use of our website takes place.

The data collected in this way is temporarily stored, but not together with other data about you.

This storage takes place on the legal basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) DSGVO. Our legitimate interest lies in the improvement, stability, functionality and security of our website.

The data is deleted again after seven days at the latest, unless further storage is required for evidence purposes. Otherwise, the data is exempt from deletion in whole or in part until final clarification of an incident.

Linking social media via graphic or text link

We also advertise presences on the social networks listed below on our website. The integration takes place via a linked graphic of the respective network. The use of this linked graphic prevents a connection to the respective server of the social network from being automatically established

when a website with a social media advertisement is

called up in order to display a graphic of the respective network itself. Only by clicking on the corresponding graphic will the user be redirected to the service of the respective social network.

After the user has been forwarded, information about the user is collected by the respective network. It cannot be ruled out that the data collected in this way is processed in the USA.

This is initially data such as IP address, date, time and page visited. If the user is logged into his user account of the respective network during this time, the network operator may be able to assign the collected information of the specific visit of the user to the personal account of the user. If the user interacts via a “Share” button of the respective network, this information can be stored in the user’s personal user account and may be published. If the user wants to prevent the collected information from being directly assigned to his user account, he must log out before clicking on the graphic. In addition, it is possible to configure the respective user account accordingly.

The following social networks are integrated into our site by linking:

Facebook Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Dublin 2, Ireland, a subsidiary of Facebook Inc, 1601 California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA.

LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company, Wilton Plaza, Wilton Place, Dublin 2, Ireland, a subsidiary of LinkedIn Corporation, 1000 W. Maude Avenue, Sunnyvale, CA 94085

SSL encryption

This website uses so-called SSL encryption (SSL = Secure Sockets Layer) to protect confidential content. When SSL encryption is active, your data cannot be read by third parties, for example when transmitting contact forms that you send to us as the operator of this website. You can recognize an SSL-encrypted Internet connection by the fact that the browser address line changes from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock symbol on the left side of the browser line.

Objection to advertising e-mails

We hereby expressly object to the use of contact data for sending advertising and information material that has not been explicitly requested and which must be published within the scope of the imprint obligation. We expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of the unsolicited sending of advertising information, such as spam e-mails.
