We are pleased that you are visiting our website. The protection of your privacy and the protection of your personal data, so-called personal data, when using our website is an important concern for us.  

According to Art. 4 No. 1 of the GDPR, personal data is any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. This includes, for example, information such as their first and last name, their address, their telephone number, their e-mail address, but also their IP address. Data for which no reference to your person can be established, such as through anonymization, is not personal data. Processing (e.g. collecting, storing, reading, querying, using, transmitting, deleting or destroying) according to Art. 4 No. 2 GDPR always requires a legal basis or your consent. Processed personal data must be deleted as soon as the purpose of the processing has been achieved and there are no longer any legally prescribed retention obligations to uphold. Here you will find information on how we handle your personal data when you visit our website. In order to provide the functions and services of our website, it is necessary for us to collect personal data about you. We also explain to you the type and scope of the respective data processing, the purpose and the corresponding legal basis and the respective storage period.   This data protection declaration only applies to this website. It does not apply to other websites to which we merely refer by means of a hyperlink. We cannot accept any responsibility for the confidential handling of your personal data on these third-party websites, as we have no influence on whether these companies comply with data protection regulations. Please inform yourself about the handling of your personal data by these companies directly on these websites.

Cloudflare

We use the services of the company "Cloudflare" (Cloudflare, Inc., 101 Townsend St, San Francisco, CA 94107, USA) to increase the availability and security of our website. Cloudflare provides a so-called Content Delivery Network (CDN). This means that website operators can make certain page content available not only on their own servers, but also on servers of CDN providers. If the CDN servers are located closer to the user than the website operator's servers, the use of a CDN regularly leads to faster loading times for the user. When the user calls up the page of such a website operator, he not only establishes a connection to the website operator, but also to the CDN operator. In addition, Cloudflare provides website operators with security functions that can be used in particular to defend against automated attacks on the website. By using these functions, the availability of our website and the offers contained therein can be ensured. Cloudflare sets cookies for the above-mentioned purposes and can thereby process the following categories of data in particular: IP address, terminal device of the user, Data about the traffic between the user and the website operator, e.g. pages accessed, date and time of access. You can completely prevent Cloudflare from processing your personal data by deactivating the execution of script code in your browser settings or by integrating a so-called script blocker into your browser. Cloudflare contractually undertakes, on the basis of so-called EU standard data protection clauses, to ensure, when transferring personal data from the European Economic Area, that the recipients comply with a data protection standard that is substantially equivalent to the European standard. Please note, however, that we cannot ensure that Cloudflare will be able to comply with these contractual obligations in every case. The legal basis for data processing is our legitimate interest in the continuous and secure operation of our website and the defence against hacker attacks (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) DS-GVO).

A different cookie is assigned to each Adwords customer. Cookies can therefore not be tracked via the website of Adwords customers. We ourselves do not collect or process any personal data in the aforementioned advertising measures. We only receive statistical evaluations from Google.

Campaign Manager uses cookies to serve ads that are relevant to users, to improve ad campaign performance or to prevent a user from seeing the same ads more than once. By means of a cookie ID, Google records which ads are displayed in which browser and can thus prevent ads from being displayed more than once. In addition, Campaign Manager can use cookie IDs to record so-called conversions that are related to ad requests. This is the case, for example, when a user sees a Campaign Manager ad and later visits the advertiser's website with the same browser and makes a purchase. Due to the marketing tools used, your browser automatically establishes a direct connection with Google's server. Through the integration of Campaign Manager, Google receives the information that you have called up the corresponding part of our website or clicked on an advertisement from us. If you are registered with a Google service, Google can assign the visit to your account. Even if you are not registered with Google or have not logged in, it is possible that the provider collects and stores your IP address. The Campaign Manager(DoubleClick Floodlight) cookies used allow us to track whether you take certain actions on our website after you have accessed or clicked on one of our ads on Google or on another platform via Campaign Manager (conversion tracking). This allows us to send you targeted advertising. The legal basis is consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) DSGVO.

Meta Pixel / Meta Conversion Tracking

We use the visitor action pixel of the provider Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Dublin 2 D02 X525, Ireland ("Meta") within our website. The re-marketing tag or tracking pixel of Meta was implemented. Meta and we are jointly responsible for the data processing. The meta pixel makes it possible for Meta to determine the visitors to our online offer as a target group for the display of advertisements (so-called "meta ads"). The tracking of a user can also take place across several websites. We use the meta pixel to display the meta ads placed by us only to those meta users who have shown an interest in our online offer or who have certain characteristics (e.g. interest in certain topics or products determined on the basis of the websites visited), which we transmit to Meta (so-called "custom audiences"). With the help of the meta pixel, we can also track the effectiveness of the meta ads for statistical and market research purposes ("audience insights") by seeing whether users were redirected to our website after clicking on a meta ad (so-called "conversion"). The meta pixel is a JavaScript code that sends the following data to Meta:

-HTTP header information : including IP address, web browser information, page location, document, website URL and web browser device (computer, smartphone, tablet, other) as well as day and time of use.

-Pixel specific data: Pixel ID and meta-cookie data including your meta ID (these are used to link events to a specific meta-advertising account and thus associate them with a meta-user).

-Additional information about the visit and about standard and custom data events.

We also use the additional function "automatic extended matching". Here, data such as first and last name, place of residence, email addresses, telephone numbers or Meta IDs of the users are transmitted to Meta in encrypted form for the creation of target groups ("Custom Audiences" or "Look Alike Audiences"). This also includes data from non-Meta users and from users who are not registered with Meta when they visit our website. This can also identify website visitors who have deactivated the storage of third-party cookies. If no meta-cookies are stored in your browser, no classification into one of the user groups designated as "Custom Audience" will be made. However, if an assignment of the meta ID contained in the meta cookie to a meta user has been made, Meta will assign this user to a so-called "Custom Audience" based on the rules defined by us. According to the case law of the European Court of Justice, we are jointly responsible with Meta for the operation of the tracking pixel with regard to compliance with data protection regulations. In this context, Meta provides the associated IT infrastructure as well as the website of the social network and is basically the primary contact when it comes to the processing of your data on the pages of the social network (e.g. information or deletion). However, you can also assert your legal rights against us. In this case, we will forward your requests to the operator of the social network. We use the meta pixel to display the "meta ads" we place to meta users who have shown an interest in our online offer or who have certain characteristics that we transmit to Meta (so-called "custom audiences"). The legal basis for the use of Meta Custom Audience is your consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) DSGVO. You can find more information about this here and in Meta's privacy policy.

Snapchat

On our Snapchat channel, we present our services in short form and inform you about ongoing promotions.

Snapchat Custom Audience / Snapchat Pixel

We use the visitor action pixel of the provider Snap Inc., 2772 Donald Douglas, Loop North, Santa Monica, CA 90405, USA ("Snapchat") within our website. The remarketing tag or tracking pixel of Snapchat was implemented. Snapchat and we are jointly responsible for the data processing. The Snapchat pixel makes it possible for Snapchat to determine the visitors to our online offer as a target group for the display of advertisements (so-called "Snapchat ads"). The tracking of a user can also take place across several websites. We use the Snapchat pixel to display the Snapchat ads placed by us only to those Snapchat users who have shown an interest in our online offer or who have certain characteristics (e.g. interest in certain topics or products determined on the basis of the websites visited) that we transmit to Snapchat (so-called "Custom Audiences"). With the help of the Snapchat pixel, we can also track the effectiveness of the Snapchat ads for statistical and market research purposes ("Audience Insights") by seeing whether users were redirected to our website after clicking on a Snapchat ad (so-called "conversion").

The Snapchat pixel is a JavaScript code that sends the following data to Snapchat:

-HTTP header information : including IP address, web browser information, page location, document, website URL, referrer URL (the address of the website from which the user came to our website) and web browser device (computer, smartphone, tablet, other) and day and time of use. -Pixel specific data: Pixel ID, default event type (user action)

-First and Third Party Cookies

We also use the function to transmit user parameters such as email address or telephone number to Snapchat. This serves to create target groups ("Custom Audiences" or "Look Alike Audiences") by assigning user actions to a specific Snapchat account. This also includes data from non-Snapchat users and from users who are not logged into Snapchat when they visit our website. This can also identify website visitors who have deactivated the storage of third-party cookies. If no Snapchat cookies are stored in your browser, no classification into one of the user groups referred to as "Custom Audience" will be made. However, if the Snapchat ID contained in the Snapchat cookie has been assigned to a Snapchat user, Snapchat will assign this user to a so-called "Custom Audience" based on the rules defined by us. According to the case law of the European Court of Justice, we are jointly responsible with Snapchat for the operation of the tracking pixel with regard to compliance with data protection regulations. In this context, Snapchat provides the associated IT infrastructure as well as the website of the social network and is basically the primary contact when it comes to the processing of your data on the pages of the social network (e.g. information or deletion). However, you can also assert your legal rights against us. In this case, we will forward your requests to the operator of the social network. If data is transferred outside the European Union (EU) or the signatory states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area (EEA), Snapchat obliges the recipients to comply with an appropriate data protection standard on the basis of so-called EU standard contractual clauses. In addition, a transfer to a third country may also take place on the basis of the recognition of an adequate level of data protection by the European Commission. We use the Snapchat pixel to display the "Snapchat ads" we place to Snapchat users who have shown an interest in our online offering or who have certain characteristics that we transmit to Snapchat (so-called "custom audiences"). The legal basis for the use of Snapchat Custom Audience is your consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) DSGVO.
