  1. Which Data are collected? 

When you visit the Website, information is collected automatically from the accessing computer (hereafter referred to as “Access Data”). These Access Data include server log files, which generally comprise information about the browser type and browser version, operating system, internet service provider, date and time, use of the Website, and IP address of the computer. With the exception of the IP address, the server log files are not personally identifiable. An IP address is personally identifiable if it is assigned permanently for the use of the internet connection and if the internet provider can attribute it to a person.

Some functions of the Website require you to communicate personal Data to the Company. In this case, the Data communicated by you are used in order to be able to provide you with the desired service or to process the respective request (e.g. search terms, enquiry form, click data).

 

  1. Which cookies are used?

Cookies are used on the Website. Cookies are small text files, which are stored on your computer when you visit a website. The stored cookies are assigned to the browser you use. If the corresponding website is opened again, the web browser sends back the content of the cookies and thus allows recognition of the user. Certain cookies are deleted when you end the browser session (so-called “transient cookies”). Other cookies are stored for a specified period or permanently (so-called “temporary cookies” or “persistent cookies”). These cookies are deleted automatically after a defined period has elapsed. You can delete the cookies at any time in the security settings of your browser and configure the use of cookies according to your preferences. The Company points out to you, however, that you may then be unable to use all the functions of the Website.

Cookies are essentially an online identification with no personalisation. The cookies are personalised only if the information generated by the cookies is amalgamated with other Data. A distinction can be drawn here between cookies that are required for provision of the Website and cookies that are required for other purposes, such as analysis of user behaviour.

The cookies required for provision of the Website specifically include the following:

  • Cookies that allow identification/authentication of users;
  • Cookies that temporarily store certain user inputs (e.g. from an online form);
  • Cookies that store certain user preferences (e.g. search or language settings);
  • Cookies that store Data in order to guarantee fault-free reproduction of video or audio content.

The cookies that are required for other purposes of the Website include analysis cookies to be able to record the usage behaviour of our Website visitors and evaluate it in statistical form (e.g. subpages visited or search queries).

 

  1. Which Data are collected for which purposes?

The purposes of Data processing may arise from technical, contractual or legal requirements and possibly from consent.
The Company uses the Data specified in figure 2 for the following purposes:

  • For provision of the Website and to guarantee technical security, especially to resolve technical faults and to ensure that unauthorised people do not gain access to the systems of the Website;
  • For coverage measurements and web analyses to make the Website more efficient and more interesting for you and to conduct market research;
  • For communication, contract initiation and customer care; and

Further information about these purposes of Data processing can be found in the following sections of this data protection notice.

 

4.1 Technical provision of the Website

4.1.1 Description and scope of Data processing

For the functionality of the Website, performance of security analyses and defence against attacks, the server log files are collected automatically and stored in the short term, as part of the incoming access data under figure 2, by the computer system of the accessing computer on entry to and during the use of the Website. The server log files are fundamentally not stored together with other Data. The Company uses the server log files for statistical evaluations in order to analyse and resolve faults, to defend against attempted attacks and attempted fraud, and to optimise the functionality of the Website.

4.1.2 Legal basis for Data processing

The legal basis for the collection of the server log files is art. 6 par. 1 lit. f GDPR. The functionality of the Website, performance of security analyses and defence against threats are in the legitimate interests of the Company.

4.1.3 Option of objection and disposal

You have the right to file an objection to the processing of your Data in the context of server log files, if reasons arising from your specific situation exist. If you wish to exercise your right to object, please contact the contact address specified under figure 1.

 

4.2 Contact form, e-mail and telephone contact

4.2.1 Description and scope of Data processing

On the Website, the option is available to contact the Company via a contact form, e-mail address or telephone number. If you use this option, Data entered on the contact form, your e-mail address and/or your telephone number and your request are transmitted to the Company. Depending on the request (e.g. questions about the products and services of the Company or assertion of your rights as a Data subject, such as to information), your contact details will be processed further internally. Your requests are not passed on to third parties.

4.2.2 Purposes and legal basis of Data processing

The legal basis for the processing of your contact details is on the basis of art. 6 par. 1 lit. f GDPR. The legitimate interests lie in the processing of your request and other communication. If the aim of your contact is to form an agreement with the Company, the legal basis for processing your contact details is art. 6 par. 1 lit. b GDPR.

4.2.3 Storage duration or criteria to determine this duration

After processing your request and conclusion of further communication, the contact details are deleted. This does not apply if the aim of your contact is to form an agreement with the Company or if you are asserting your rights as a Data subject, such as to information. For this, the Data are stored until the contractual and/or statutory obligations have been fulfilled and statutory storage periods (6 to 10 years at present) do not oppose deletion.

4.2.4 Objection and removal options

You have the right to file an objection to the processing of your contact details, if reasons for doing so exist, which arise from your specific situation. If you wish to exercise your right to object, please contact the contact address of the internal Company Data Protection Officer specified under figure 1. If you object, the communication cannot be continued. This does not apply if storage of the contact details is required for contract initiation or performance of a contract or for assertion of your rights as a Data subject.

 

4.3 Google Analytics (web tracking)

4.3.1 Description and scope of Data processing

The Website uses the service Google Analytics. The provider of Google Analytics is Google Inc. Google Analytics creates a pseudonym usage profile in order to optimise the user-friendliness of the Website. Your access Data are collected here in accordance with figure 2 and the usage behaviour is evaluated using analysis cookies in accordance with figure 3. For web tracking, personal identification is essentially unnecessary, such that the stored IP address is truncated in the collection of your access Data before transmission to Google Inc. and inference of your person is not possible. The pseudonym usage profile is evaluated after transmission, for the purpose of optimising user-friendliness. Amalgamation with other Data by Google Inc. does not take place.

Further information about Data processing at Google Analytics can be found in the data privacy policy of Google: https://policies.google.com/privacy.

4.3.2 Purposes and legal basis of Data processing

The legal basis for the collection and evaluation of pseudonym usage profiles is art. 6  par. 1 lit. f GDPR / § 15 par. 3 German telemedia act (TMG). The legitimate interests of the Company lie in the optimisation of user-friendliness and measurement of coverage.

4.4.3 Storage duration or criteria to determine this duration

The Data collected and evaluated with the use of Google Analytics are generally stored until you object to their use. The storage duration of the analysis cookies is a maximum of 24 months.

4.3.4 Objection and removal options

You can object at any time to the use of the web tracking services by changing your browser settings and/or activating the following link to download and install the available browser plugins:

Google Analytics: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout 

 

  1. Who receives my Data?

Within the Company, those bodies that require it for fulfilment of the purposes presented under figure 4 receive access to your Data. Service providers employed by the Company (so-called “order processors”, e.g. media agency) may also receive access to your Data. The obligation to comply with instructions, Data security and the confidential handling of your Data by these service providers are ensured through contracts on order processing.

 

  1. Are my Data processed outside the EU or EEA (third country transfer)?

Third country transfer takes place as a result of the use of Google Analytics in accordance with figure 4.4, as the computer centres of Google Inc. are located outside the European Union or European Economic Area (“EU or EEA”). Such third country transfer may result in your Data being transmitted to a country that does not guarantee the same data protection standard as the EU or EEA. However, Google Inc. ensures through the EU-US Privacy Shield that the European data protection level is guaranteed in the third country transfer. You can request a copy of these guarantees using the contact details specified under figure 1.

 

  1. Which Data protection rights do I have

You have the right to information at any time about the personal Data stored about you by us. Should Data about you be incorrect or no longer current, you have the right to demand their correction. You also have the right to demand the deletion or limitation of the processing of your Data in accordance with art. 17 or art. 18 GDPR. You furthermore have a right to release of the Data provided by you in a current and machine-readable format (right to data portability).

If you have issued consent to the processing of personal Data for specific purposes, you may revoke the consent at any time with effect for the future. The revocation must be addressed to the Company at the contact address specified under figure 1.

In accordance with art. 21 GDPR, you moreover have the right to file an objection at any time to the processing of your Data in accordance with the legal basis of art. 6 par. 1 lit. f GDPR for reasons arising from your specific situation. You also have the right to file an objection at any time to the processing of your personal data for the purpose of direct advertising. The same applies for the automated processes with the use of individual cookies if these are not an essential requirement for provision of the Website.

We use no fully automated decision-making for the purposes specified under figure 4.
