The data is used exclusively for sending the newsletter and is not passed to others.

III.3 Usage of Google Analytics

a. Type and purpose of the processing

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Building Gordon House, 4 Barrow Street, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland. Google Analytics uses “cookies”, which are text files placed on your computer, to help the website analyze how users use the site. The information generated by the cookie about your use of the website will be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States. However, due to the activation of IP anonymization on these web pages, your IP address will be truncated beforehand by Google 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. 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. The purposes of data processing are to evaluate the use of the website and to compile reports on website activities. Based on the use of the website and the internet, other related services shall then be provided.

On this website we use the offer of Google Maps. Google Maps is operated by Google Building Gordon House, 4 Barrow Street, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland.

You can find more information about data processing by Google in the Google privacy policy. There you can also change your personal privacy settings in the Privacy Center. By visiting the website, Google receives information that you have called up the corresponding sub-page of our website. This occurs regardless of whether Google provides a user account through which you are logged in or whether no user account exists. If you are logged in to Google, your data will be directly assigned to your account. If you do not want the assignment in your profile at Google, you must log out of Google before activating the button. Google stores your data as usage profiles and uses them for the purposes of advertising, market research and/or demand-oriented design of its website. Such an evaluation is carried out in particular (even for users who are not logged in) to provide needs-based advertising and to inform other users of the social network about your activities on our website. You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles, whereby you must contact Google to exercise this right.

The privacy policy of the library operator Google can be found here: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/. Calling up script libraries or font libraries automatically triggers a connection to the library operator. It is theoretically possible – although it is currently also unclear whether and, if so, for what purposes – that the operator collects Google data in this case. Further information on Google Web Fonts can be found at https://developers.google.com/fonts/faq and in Google’s privacy policy: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/.

f. Legal / contractual requirement

The provision of personal data is neither legally nor contractually required. However, without the correct display of the contents of standard fonts can not be enabled.

g. Third country transfer

Google processes your data in the USA and has submitted to the EU_US Privacy Shield https://www.privacyshield.gov/EU-US-Framework.

III.6 Use of social media plugins

a. Type and purpose of processing

Social plugins from the providers listed below are used on our websites. You can recognize the plugins by the fact that they are marked with the corresponding logo.

Information, which may include personal data, may be sent to the service provider via these plugins and may be used by the service provider. We prevent the unconscious and unintentional collection and transmission of data to the service provider through a so-called Shariff solution. Only by clicking on the plugin, the collection of information and its transmission to the service provider is also triggered. We do not collect any personal data ourselves by means of the social plugins or about their use.

We have no influence on what data an activated plugin collects and how it is used by the provider. Currently, it must be assumed that a direct connection to the provider’s services is established and that at least the IP address and device-related information is collected and used. Likewise, there is the possibility that the service providers try to save cookies on the computer used.

b. Legal basis of the processing

The processing is carried out pursuant to Art. 6 (1) lit. f DSGVO on the basis of our legitimate interest in the functionality of our website.

c. Data categories

The data collected directly by us via the social media plugins will be deleted from our systems as soon as the purpose for storing it no longer applies, you request us to delete it, revoke your consent to store it, or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies. Stored cookies remain on your terminal device until you delete them. Mandatory legal provisions – in particular retention periods – remain unaffected.

We have no influence on the storage period of your data, which is stored by the operators of social networks for their own purposes. For details, please contact the operators of the social networks directly (e.g. in their privacy policy, see above).

IV Data security

The personal data of every individual who has a contractual, pre-contractual or other relationship with our company deserve special protection. We aim to maintain our level of data protection at a high standard. That is why we are committed to the continuous development of our data protection and data security concepts. We are therefore committed to protecting your privacy and treating your personal data confidentially. To prevent manipulation, loss or misuse of your data stored with us, we take extensive technical and organizational security precautions that are regularly reviewed and adapted to technological progress. This includes, among other things, the use of recognized encryption methods (SSL or TLS). However, we would like to point out that, due to the structure of the Internet, it is possible that the rules of data protection and the above-mentioned security measures are not observed by other persons or institutions not within our sphere of responsibility. In particular, data disclosed in unencrypted form – e.g. if this is done by e-mail – can be read by third parties. We have no technical influence on this. It is the user’s responsibility to protect the data he or she provides against misuse by encrypting it or in any other way.

VII Overview of the processors

If, in the course of our processing, we disclose data to other persons and companies (order processors, jointly responsible persons or third parties), transmit it to them or otherwise grant them access to the data, this shall only be done on the basis of a legal permission (e.g. if a transmission of the data to third parties, such as to payment service providers, is necessary for the fulfillment of the contract), users have consented, a legal obligation provides for this or on the basis of our legitimate interests (e.g. when using agents, web hosts, etc.). If we disclose or transfer data to other companies in our group of companies or otherwise grant them access, this is done in particular for administrative purposes as a legitimate interest and, in addition, on a basis that complies with legal requirements.
