“Pseudonymisation” means the processing of personal data in such a way that the personal data can no longer be attributed to a specific data subject without the use of additional information, provided that this additional information is kept separately and is subject to technical and organisational measures to ensure that the personal data is not assigned to an identified or identifiable natural person.
“Profiling” means any form of automated processing of personal data consisting of the use of personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to analyse or predict aspects concerning that natural person’s performance at work, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behaviour, location or movements.

In accordance with Art. 13 GDPR, we will inform you of the legal basis for our data processing. For users from the scope of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), i.e. the EU and the EEC, the following applies if the legal basis is not mentioned in the data protection declaration:
The legal basis for obtaining consent is Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a and Art. 7 GDPR;
The legal basis for processing to fulfill our services and carry out contractual measures as well as answering inquiries is Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b GDPR;
The legal basis for processing to fulfill our legal obligations is Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. c GDPR;
In the event that vital interests of the data subject or another natural person require the processing of personal data, Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. d GDPR serves as the legal basis.
The legal basis for the processing required to perform a task in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller is Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. e GDPR.
The legal basis for processing to protect our legitimate interests is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR.
The processing of data for purposes other than those for which it was collected is determined in accordance with the provisions of Art. 6 (4) GDPR.
The processing of special categories of data (according to Art. 9 (1) GDPR) is determined in accordance with the provisions of Art. 9 (2) GDPR.
In accordance with the legal requirements, taking into account the state of the art, the implementation costs and the nature, scope, circumstances and purposes of processing as well as the varying likelihood of occurrence and severity of the risk to the rights and freedoms of natural persons, we take suitable technical and organizational measures to ensure a level of protection appropriate to the risk.
The measures include in particular ensuring the confidentiality, integrity and availability of data by controlling physical access to the data, as well as the access, input, transfer, securing availability and separation of data. Furthermore, we have set up procedures that ensure the exercise of data subjects' rights, deletion of data and response to threats to data. Furthermore, we take the protection of personal data into account when developing or selecting hardware, software and procedures, in accordance with the principle of data protection through technology design and through data protection-friendly default settings.
If, as part of our processing, we disclose data to other persons and companies (contract processors, joint controllers or third parties), transmit it to them or otherwise grant them access to the data, this will only be done on the basis of a legal permission (e.g. if transmission of the data to third parties, such as payment service providers, is necessary to fulfill 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 data to other companies in our group of companies, transmit it or otherwise grant them access, this is done in particular for administrative purposes as a legitimate interest and beyond that on a basis in accordance with the legal requirements.
If we process data in a third country (i.e. outside the European Union (EU), the European Economic Area (EEA) or the Swiss Confederation) or if this occurs as part of the use of third-party services or the disclosure or transmission of data to other persons or companies, this will only take place if it is necessary to fulfil our (pre)contractual obligations, on the basis of your consent, due to a legal obligation or on the basis of our legitimate interests. Subject to legal or contractual permissions, we only process or have data processed in a third country if the legal requirements are met. This means that processing takes place, for example, on the basis of special guarantees, such as the officially recognised determination of a data protection level corresponding to that of the EU or compliance with officially recognised special contractual obligations.
You have the right to request confirmation as to whether or not data concerning you is being processed and to request information about this data as well as further information and a copy of the data in accordance with the statutory requirements. In
accordance with the statutory requirements, you have the right to request that the data concerning you be completed or that inaccurate data concerning you be corrected. In accordance with
the statutory requirements, you have the right to request that the data concerning you be deleted immediately or, alternatively, to request that the processing of the data be restricted in accordance with the statutory requirements.
You have the right to request that the data concerning you that you have made available to us be received in accordance with the statutory requirements and to request that it be transmitted to other responsible parties.
You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the responsible supervisory authority in accordance with the statutory requirements.

You can object to the future processing of data concerning you at any time in accordance with the statutory provisions. The objection can be made in particular against processing for direct marketing purposes.
“Cookies” are small files that are saved on users’ computers. Different information can be saved within cookies. A cookie is primarily used to save information about a user (or the device on which the cookie is saved) during or after their visit to an online service. Temporary cookies, or “session cookies” or “transient cookies”, are cookies that are deleted after a user leaves an online service and closes their browser. Such a cookie can store, for example, the contents of a shopping cart in an online shop or a login status. “Permanent” or “persistent” cookies are cookies that remain saved even after the browser is closed. For example, the login status can be saved if the user visits the site several days later. Likewise, the interests of the user can be saved in such a cookie, which is used for reach measurement or marketing purposes. “Third-party cookies” are cookies offered by providers other than the person responsible for operating the online service (otherwise, if they are only their cookies, they are referred to as “first-party cookies”).
We can use temporary and permanent cookies and explain this in our privacy policy.
If users do not want cookies to be saved on their computer, they are asked to deactivate the corresponding option in the system settings of their browser. Saved cookies can be deleted in the system settings of the browser. Excluding cookies can lead to functional restrictions of this online service.
A general objection to the use of cookies used for online marketing purposes can be declared for a large number of services, especially in the case of tracking, via the US website http://www.aboutads.info/choices/ or the EU website http://www.youronlinechoices.com/ . Furthermore, the storage of cookies can be achieved by deactivating them in the browser settings. Please note that in this case, not all functions of this online service may be available.
The data we process is deleted or restricted in accordance with legal requirements. Unless expressly stated in this privacy policy, the data stored by us is deleted as soon as it is no longer required for its intended purpose and there are no statutory retention periods that prevent deletion.
If the data is not deleted because it is required for other legally permissible purposes, its processing will be restricted. This means that the data is blocked and not processed for other purposes. This applies, for example, to data that must be retained for commercial or tax reasons.
We ask you to regularly inform yourself about the content of our data protection declaration. We will adapt the data protection declaration as soon as changes to the data processing we carry out make this necessary. We will inform you as soon as the changes require your cooperation (e.g. consent) or other individual notification.
In addition, we process
- contract data (e.g., subject matter of the contract, term, customer category).
- payment data (e.g., bank details, payment history)
from our customers, interested parties and business partners for the purpose of providing contractual services, service and customer care, marketing, advertising and market research.
We process our customers' data as part of the ordering process in our online shop in order to enable them to select and order the selected products and services, as well as to pay for and deliver them or have them carried out.
The data processed includes inventory data, communication data, contract data, payment data, and the persons affected by the processing include our customers, interested parties and other business partners. The processing is carried out for the purpose of providing contractual services as part of the operation of an online shop, billing, delivery and customer services. We use session cookies to store the shopping cart contents and permanent cookies to store the login status.
The processing is carried out to fulfill our services and carry out contractual measures (e.g. carrying out order processes) and insofar as it is required by law (e.g. legally required archiving of business transactions for trade and tax purposes). The information marked as required is necessary to establish and fulfill the contract. We only disclose data to third parties in the context of delivery, payment or within the scope of legal permissions and obligations, as well as when this is done on the basis of our legitimate interests, about which we inform you in this data protection declaration (e.g., to legal and tax advisors, financial institutions, freight companies and authorities).
Users can optionally create a user account, in particular by which they can view their orders. As part of the registration, the required mandatory information is communicated to users. User accounts are not public and cannot be indexed by search engines. If users have canceled their user account, their data with regard to the user account will be deleted, subject to their retention being necessary for commercial or tax law reasons. Information in the customer account remains until it is deleted and then archived in the event of a legal obligation or our legitimate interests (e.g., in the event of legal disputes). It is the responsibility of users to back up their data in the event of termination before the end of the contract.
When registering and re-registering as well as using our online services, we save the IP address and the time of the respective user action. The data is saved on the basis of our legitimate interests, as well as the user's interests in protection against misuse and other unauthorized use. This data is generally not passed on to third parties unless it is necessary to pursue our legal claims as a legitimate interest or there is a legal obligation to do so.
Deletion occurs after expiry of statutory warranty and other contractual rights or obligations (e.g., payment claims or performance obligations from contracts with customers), whereby the necessity of retaining the data is reviewed every three years; in the case of retention due to statutory archiving obligations, deletion occurs after these expire.
We process our customers' data as part of our contractual services, which include conceptual and strategic consulting, campaign planning, software and design development/consulting or maintenance, implementation of campaigns and processes/handling, server administration, data analysis/consulting services and training services.

We do not process special categories of personal data unless these are part of a commissioned processing. Those affected include our customers, interested parties and their customers, users, website visitors or employees as well as third parties. The purpose of the processing is to provide contractual services, billing and our customer service. The legal basis for processing arises from Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR (contractual services), Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR (analysis, statistics, optimization, security measures). We process data that is necessary to justify and fulfill the contractual services and point out the necessity of providing it. Disclosure to external parties only occurs if it is required as part of an order.

We delete the data after statutory warranty and similar obligations have expired. The necessity of storing the data is reviewed every three years; in the case of statutory archiving obligations, deletion takes place after these have expired (6 years, in accordance with Section 257 (1) HGB, 10 years, in accordance with Section 147 (1) AO). In the case of data that has been disclosed to us by the client as part of an order, we delete the data in accordance with the specifications of the order, generally after the end of the order.
We process the data of our clients and interested parties and other clients or contractual partners (collectively referred to as “clients”) in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b) GDPR in order to provide them with our contractual or pre-contractual services. The data processed here, the type, scope and purpose and the necessity of their processing are determined by the underlying contractual relationship. The data processed generally includes inventory and master data of the clients (e.g. name, address, etc.), as well as contact details (e.g. email address, telephone, etc.), contract data (e.g. services used, fees, names of contact persons, etc.) and payment data (e.g. bank details, payment history, etc.).
As part of our services, we can also process special categories of data in accordance with Art. 9 Para. 1 GDPR, in particular information about the health of clients, possibly with reference to their sex life or sexual orientation, ethnic origin or religious or ideological beliefs. To do so, we will obtain an explicit consent from the client where necessary in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a., Art. 7, Art. 9 Para. 2 lit. a. GDPR and otherwise process the special categories of data for the purposes of healthcare on the basis of Art. 9 Para. 2 lit h. GDPR, Section 22 Para. 1 No. 1 b. BDSG.
If necessary for the performance of the contract or legally required, we will disclose or transmit client data as part of the communication with other specialists, to third parties who are necessarily or typically involved in the contract fulfilment, such as accounting offices or similar service providers, insofar as this serves the provision of our services in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit b. GDPR, is legally required in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit c. GDPR, serves our interests or those of the client in efficient and cost-effective healthcare as a legitimate interest in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit f. GDPR or is necessary in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit d. GDPR. to protect the vital interests of the client or another natural person or within the scope of consent in accordance with Art. 6 Paragraph 1 Letter a., Art. 7 GDPR.
The data will be deleted when the data is no longer required to fulfil contractual or statutory duties of care or to deal with any warranty or similar obligations, whereby the necessity of storing the data is reviewed every three years; otherwise the statutory retention periods apply.

We do not process special categories of personal data unless these are part of commissioned or contractual processing.
We process data that is necessary to justify and fulfill the contractual services and point out the necessity of providing them if this is not obvious to the contractual partners. Disclosure to external persons or companies only occurs if it is required within the framework of a contract. When processing the data provided to us as part of an order, we act in accordance with the instructions of the client and the legal requirements.
When using our online services, we can save the IP address and the time of the respective user action. Storage is based on our legitimate interests, as well as the interests of the users in protection against misuse and other unauthorized use. This data is generally not passed on to third parties unless it is necessary to pursue our claims in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f. GDPR or there is a legal obligation to do so in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. c. GDPR.
The data is deleted when the data is no longer required to fulfill contractual or legal duties of care or to deal with any warranty and similar obligations, whereby the necessity of storing the data is reviewed every three years; otherwise the statutory retention periods apply.
We use external payment service providers via whose platforms the users and we can carry out payment transactions (e.g., each with a link to the privacy policy, Paypal (https://www.paypal.com/de/webapps/mpp/ua/privacy-full), Klarna (https://www.klarna.com/de/datenschutz/), Skrill (https://www.skrill.com/de/fusszeile/datenschutzrichtlinie/), Giropay (https://www.giropay.de/rechtliches/datenschutz-agb/), Visa (https://www.visa.de/datenschutz), Mastercard (https://www.mastercard.de/de-de/datenschutz.html), American Express (https://www.americanexpress.com/de/content/privacy-policy-statement.html)
As part of the fulfillment of contracts, we use the payment service providers on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b. GDPR. Furthermore, we use external payment service providers on the basis of our legitimate interests in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f. GDPR in order to To offer users effective and secure payment options.
The data processed by the payment service providers includes inventory data such as name and address, bank details such as account numbers or credit card numbers, passwords, TANs and checksums as well as contract, amount and recipient-related information. The information is required to carry out the transactions. However, the data entered is only processed and stored by the payment service providers. This means that we do not receive any account or credit card-related information, only information confirming or rejecting the payment. The payment service providers may transmit the data to credit agencies. This transmission is for the purpose of checking identity and creditworthiness. For this purpose, we refer to the terms and conditions and data protection information of the payment service providers. The terms and
conditions and data protection information of the respective payment service providers apply to payment transactions, which can be accessed within the respective websites or transaction applications. We also refer to these for further information and to assert withdrawal, information and other data subject rights.
We process data as part of administrative tasks and the organization of our business, financial accounting and compliance with legal obligations, such as archiving. In doing so, we process the same data that we process as part of the provision of our contractual services. The processing bases are Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. c. GDPR, Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f. GDPR. Customers, interested parties, business partners and website visitors are affected by the processing. The purpose of and our interest in the processing lies in administration, financial accounting, office organization, archiving of data, i.e. tasks that serve to maintain our business activities, perform our tasks and provide our services. The deletion of data with regard to contractual services and contractual communication corresponds to the information stated in these processing activities.
In doing so, we disclose or transmit data to the tax authorities, consultants such as tax consultants or auditors as well as other fee offices and payment service providers.
Furthermore, we store information on suppliers, organizers and other business partners on the basis of our business interests, e.g. for the purpose of later contact. We generally store this data, which is mostly company-related, permanently.
In order to be able to run our business economically and to identify market trends and the wishes of contractual partners and users, we analyse the data we have on business transactions, contracts, inquiries, etc. We process inventory data, communication data, contractual data, payment data, usage data and metadata on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR, whereby the persons concerned include contractual partners, interested parties, customers, visitors and users of our online offer.
The analyses are carried out for the purpose of business evaluations, marketing and market research. We can take into account the profiles of registered users with information, e.g. on the services they have used. The analyses help us to increase user-friendliness, optimise our offer and make it more economical. The analyses are for our own use and are not disclosed externally unless they are anonymous analyses with summarized values.
If these analyses or profiles are personal, they are deleted or anonymised when the user terminates their contract, otherwise after two years from the conclusion of the contract. Otherwise, the overall business analyses and general trend determinations are created anonymously wherever possible.
Within our online offering, we use industry-standard tracking measures based on our legitimate interests (i.e. interest in the analysis, optimization and economic operation of our online offering) in accordance with Art. 6 Paragraph 1 Letter f of GDPR, insofar as these are necessary for the operation of the affiliate system. Below we explain the technical background to users.
The services offered by our contractual partners can also be advertised and linked on other websites (so-called affiliate links or after-buy systems, if, for example, links or services from third parties are offered after a contract has been concluded). The operators of the respective websites receive a commission when users follow the affiliate links and then take advantage of the offers.
In summary, it is necessary for our online offering that we can track whether users who are interested in affiliate links and/or the offers available from us subsequently take advantage of the offers at the instigation of the affiliate links or our online platform. For this purpose, the affiliate links and our offers are supplemented by certain values that can be part of the link or set elsewhere, e.g. in a cookie. The values include in particular the source website (referrer), time, an online identifier of the operator of the website on which the affiliate link was located, an online identifier of the respective offer, an online identifier of the user, as well as tracking-specific values such as advertising material ID, partner ID and categorizations. The
online identifiers of users that we use are pseudonymous values. This means that the online identifiers themselves do not contain any personal data such as names or email addresses. They only help us to determine whether the same user who clicked on an affiliate link or was interested in an offer via our online offer has accepted the offer, i.e., for example, concluded a contract with the provider. The online identifier is, however, personal insofar as the partner company and we have the online identifier together with other user data. This is the only way the partner company can tell us whether the user has accepted the offer and whether we can, for example, pay out the bonus.
On the basis of our legitimate interests (i.e. interest in the economic operation of our online offering within the meaning of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f. GDPR), we are participants in the Amazon EU partner program, which was designed to provide a medium for websites through which advertising costs can be earned by placing advertisements and links to Amazon.de (so-called affiliate system). This means that as an Amazon partner, we earn from qualified purchases.
Amazon uses cookies to be able to trace the origin of orders. Among other things, Amazon can recognize that you clicked on the partner link on this website and then purchased a product from Amazon.

Based on our legitimate interests (i.e. interest in the economic operation of our online offering within the meaning of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f. GDPR), we are participants in the partner program of Digistore24 GmbH, St.-Godehard-Straße 32, 31139 Hildesheim, Germany, which was designed to provide a medium for websites by means of which advertising costs can be earned by placing advertisements and links to Digistore24 (so-called affiliate system). Digistore24 uses cookies to be able to trace the origin of the contract conclusion. Among other things, Digistore24 can recognize that you clicked on the partner link on this website and then concluded a contract with or through Digistore24.
Further information on data usage by Digistore24 and options for objection can be found in the company's privacy policy: https://www.digistore24.com/page/privacyl .

Applicant data is processed to fulfil our (pre)contractual obligations within the framework of the application process within the meaning of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b. GDPR Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f. GDPR if data processing becomes necessary for us, for example, in the context of legal proceedings (in Germany, Section 26 BDSG also applies).

The necessary applicant data is marked if we offer an online form, otherwise it can be found in the job descriptions and generally includes personal information, postal and contact addresses and the documents belonging to the application, such as cover letters, CVs and references. Applicants can also voluntarily provide us with additional information.
By submitting their application to us, applicants agree to the processing of their data for the purposes of the application process in accordance with the manner and scope set out in this data protection declaration.
If special categories of personal data within the meaning of Art. 9 (1) GDPR are voluntarily communicated as part of the application process, they will also be processed in accordance with Art. 9 (2) lit. b GDPR (e.g. health data, such as severe disability status or ethnic origin). If special categories of personal data within the meaning of Art. 9 (1) GDPR are requested from applicants as part of the application process, they will also be processed in accordance with Art. 9 (2) lit. a GDPR (e.g. health data if this is necessary for the exercise of the profession).
If provided, applicants can send us their applications using an online form on our website. The data is transmitted to us in encrypted form in accordance with the state of the art.
Applicants can also send us their applications via email. However, please note that emails are generally not sent encrypted and applicants must ensure encryption themselves. We cannot therefore accept any responsibility for the transmission path of the application between the sender and receipt on our server and therefore recommend using an online form or sending by post. Instead of applying via the online form and email, applicants still have the option of sending us their application by post.
The data provided by applicants may be further processed by us for the purposes of the employment relationship in the event of a successful application. Otherwise, if the application for a job offer is not successful, the applicants' data will be deleted. Applicants' data will also be deleted if an application is withdrawn, which applicants are entitled to do at any time.

However, the shipping service provider does not use the data of our newsletter recipients to write to them directly or to pass the data on to third parties.
The newsletters contain a so-called "web beacon", i.e. a pixel-sized file that is retrieved from our server when the newsletter is opened, or if we use a shipping service provider, from its server. As part of this retrieval, technical information such as information about the browser and your system, as well as your IP address and time of retrieval, are initially collected.
This information is used to technically improve the services based on the technical data or the target groups and their reading behavior based on their retrieval locations (which can be determined using the IP address) or the access times. The statistical surveys also include determining whether the newsletters are opened, when they are opened and which links are clicked. For technical reasons, this information can be assigned to the individual newsletter recipients. However, it is neither our aim nor that of the shipping service provider, if used, to observe individual users. The evaluations serve us much more to recognize the reading habits of our users and to adapt our content to them or to send different content according to the interests of our users.
Unfortunately, a separate revocation of the success measurement is not possible; in this case, the entire newsletter subscription must be canceled.
The hosting services we use serve to provide the following services: infrastructure and platform services, computing capacity, storage space and database services, email sending, security services and technical maintenance services that we use for the purpose of operating this online offering.
In doing so, we or our hosting provider process inventory data, contact data, content data, contract data, usage data, meta and communication data of customers, interested parties and visitors to this online offering on the basis of our legitimate interests in the efficient and secure provision of this online offering in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR in conjunction with Art. 28 GDPR (conclusion of a data processing agreement).
We, or our hosting provider, collect data on every access to the server on which this service is located (so-called server log files) on the basis of our legitimate interests within the meaning of Art. 6 Paragraph 1 Letter f. GDPR. The access data includes the name of the website accessed, file, date and time of access, amount of data transferred, notification of successful access, browser type and version, the user's operating system, referrer URL (the previously visited page), IP address and the requesting provider.
Log file information is stored for a maximum of 7 days for security reasons (e.g. to investigate misuse or fraud) and then deleted. Data that needs to be retained for evidentiary purposes is exempt from deletion until the respective incident has been finally clarified.
Based on our legitimate interests (i.e. interest in the analysis, optimization and economic operation of our online offering within the meaning of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f. GDPR), we use Google Analytics, a web analysis service provided by Google LLC ("Google"). Google uses cookies. The information generated by the cookie about the use of the online offering by users is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there.
Google is certified under the Privacy Shield Agreement and thus offers a guarantee of compliance with European data protection law ( https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt000000001L5AAI&status=Active ).
Google will use this information on our behalf to evaluate the use of our online offering by users, to compile reports on activities within this online offering and to provide us with other services relating to the use of this online offering and Internet usage. Pseudonymous user profiles of users may be created from the processed data.
We only use Google Analytics with activated IP anonymization. This means that the user's IP address is shortened 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.
The IP address transmitted by the user's browser is not merged with other Google data. Users can prevent cookies from being saved by setting their browser software accordingly; users can also prevent Google from collecting data generated by the cookie and relating to their use of the website and from processing this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available under the following link: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de .
For more information about Google's use of data, settings and options for objecting, please see Google's privacy policy ( https://policies.google.com/privacy ) and the settings for displaying advertisements by Google (https://adssettings.google.com/authenticated ).
Users' personal data is deleted or anonymized after 14 months.
Based on our legitimate interests (i.e. interest in the analysis, optimization and economic operation of our online offering within the meaning of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f. GDPR), we use the services of Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA, ("Google").
Google is certified under the Privacy Shield Agreement and thereby offers a guarantee of compliance with European data protection law ( https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt000000001L5AAI&status=Active ).
We use the AdSense service, with the help of which advertisements are displayed on our website and we receive remuneration for their display or other use. For these purposes, usage data such as clicks on an ad and the user's IP address are processed, with the IP address being shortened by the last two digits. User data is therefore processed pseudonymously.
We use Adsense with personalized ads. Google draws conclusions about users' interests based on the websites they visit or apps they use and the user profiles created in this way. Advertisers use this information to tailor their campaigns to these interests, which is beneficial for users and advertisers alike. For Google, ads are personalized when collected or known data determines or influences the ad selection. This includes, among other things, previous searches, activities, website visits, app usage, demographic and location information. In detail, this includes: demographic targeting, targeting on interest categories, remarketing and targeting on customer matching lists and audience lists that have been uploaded to DoubleClick Bid Manager or Campaign Manager. For
more information on Google's use of data, setting options and objection options, please see Google's privacy policy ( https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads ) and the settings for the display of advertisements by Google (https://adssettings.google.com/authenticated ).
Due to our legitimate interests in the analysis, optimization and economic operation of our online offering and for these purposes, the so-called "Facebook pixel" of the social network Facebook, which is operated by Facebook Inc., 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA, or if you are based in the EU, Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland ("Facebook"), is used within our online offering.
Facebook is certified under the Privacy Shield Agreement and thus offers a guarantee of compliance with European data protection law ( https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt0000000GnywAAC&status=Active ).
With the help of the Facebook pixel, Facebook is able to determine the visitors to our online offering as a target group for the display of advertisements (so-called "Facebook ads"). Accordingly, we use the Facebook pixel to only display the Facebook ads we place to Facebook users who have also shown an interest in our online offering or who have certain characteristics (e.g. interests in certain topics or products determined based on the websites visited) that we transmit to Facebook (so-called “custom audiences”). With the help of the Facebook pixel, we also want to ensure that our Facebook ads correspond to the potential interests of users and do not appear annoying. With the help of the Facebook pixel, we can also track the effectiveness of Facebook ads for statistical and market research purposes by seeing whether users were redirected to our website after clicking on a Facebook ad (so-called “conversion”).
The processing of data by Facebook takes place within the framework of Facebook’s data usage policy. Accordingly, general information on the display of Facebook ads can be found in Facebook’s data usage policy: https://www.facebook.com/policy . Specific information and details about the Facebook pixel and how it works can be found in the Facebook help section: https://www.facebook.com/business/help/651294705016616 .
You can object to the Facebook pixel collecting data and using your data to display Facebook ads. To set which types of advertisements are shown to you within Facebook, you can visit the page set up by Facebook and follow the instructions there for the settings for usage-based advertising: https://www.facebook.com/settings?tab=ads . The settings are platform-independent, i.e. they are applied to all devices, such as desktop computers or mobile devices.
You can also object to the use of cookies that are used for reach measurement and advertising purposes via the deactivation page of the Network Advertising Initiative ( http://optout.networkadvertising.org/ ) and additionally the US website ( http://www.aboutads.info/choices ) or the European website ( http://www.youronlinechoices.com/uk/your-ad-choices/ ).
