In doing so, the internet service provider processes contact data, content data, contract data, usage data, inventory data, meta and communication data on our behalf. Legal basis: The legal basis for the aforementioned processing is our legitimate interest in an efficient and secure provision of our online offer, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO in conjunction with Art. 28 DSGVO (contract processing agreement).

If you use our website for informational purposes only, our internet service provider will only collect the personal data that the browser you use transmits to its server.

The aforementioned data is stored as log files on the servers of our Internet service provider. This is necessary in order to be able to display the website on the end device you are using and to ensure stability and security.

Our website uses cookies. Cookies are small text files consisting of a series of numbers and letters that are stored on the terminal device you use. Cookies neither transmit viruses nor can they execute programs. Rather, they are primarily used to exchange information between the terminal device you use and our website in order to make our Internet offer more user-friendly and effective for you. A distinction is made between temporary (transient) cookies and persistent cookies. Transient cookies include in particular session cookies. These store a so-called session ID, with which various requests from your browser can be assigned to the common session. This enables our website to recognize your computer when you return to our website. The session cookies are deleted when you log out or close your browser. Persistent cookies are automatically deleted after a specified period of time, which may vary depending on the cookie. You have the option to delete these cookies at any time in the security settings of your browser.

The cookies serve to make our website more user-friendly. Some elements of our website require that the calling browser can be identified even after a page change. In particular, information on language settings or log-in information may be stored in these cookies.

Our legitimate interest in data processing lies in the above-mentioned purposes. The legal basis for this is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f DSGVO.

Since the cookies are stored on your computer, you as a user also have full control over the use of cookies. You have the option of determining whether cookies are stored at all via the security settings of your browser. For example, you can choose not to accept cookies from the outset or only accept cookies on request, or you can specify that cookies are deleted each time you close your browser.

YouTube

We use components from YouTube, a service of YouTube, LLC, 901 Cherry Ave., San Bruno, CA 94066, USA, on this website. YouTube, LLC is a subsidiary of Google Inc, 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA.

YouTube is a video portal where users can watch videos free of charge. YouTube offers website operators the opportunity to include videos on their own website. For this purpose, YouTube provides a code snippet that displays the video in a so-called inline frame. After a page or subpage of our website is called up on which such an embedding has taken place, the Internet browser you are using is prompted to download video components of the respective embedded video or clip. This process requires YouTube to read the IP address assigned to you, otherwise YouTube would not be able to deliver the video to your browser. YouTube may recognize that you have visited one of our pages where we have embedded a YouTube video if you are logged in to YouTube. This information is transmitted to YouTube even if you do not click on the YouTube video. Both YouTube and Google collect this information and associate it with your YouTube account. Prevention: You may prevent this data transfer at any time by logging out of your YouTube account or by setting an opt-out cookie by clicking the opt-out button on the following link https://adssettings.google.com/authenticated after logging into your Google account.

social media plugins

Our website uses social media plugins from the providers listed below. You can tell which plugin belongs to which provider by the respective logo with which the plugin is marked. When you visit one of our pages on which a plugin is implemented, a connection between your browser and the provider's servers is automatically established with the respective provider of the plugin. Already at this time, data is transferred to the provider. In addition, data is transmitted to the provider as a result of further interactions with the respective social plugin (e.g. clicking the "Like-Me-Button on Facebook, Re-Tweet-Button on Twitter). If you have an account with the provider, this data can be linked to it. In order to prevent your data from being linked in this way, you can log out of the provider's service before visiting our site.

The data collected may be stored and evaluated by the provider in order to create user profiles of you for advertising and market research purposes. You have a right of withdrawal against the creation of user profiles. To exercise this right, you must contact the provider of the plugin.

For what purpose and to what extent data is collected by the provider, you can see the respective data protection declarations of the providers, which are provided in the following.

We ourselves do not collect any personal data via the social media plugins or their use. We have no influence on what data an activated plugin collects and how this data is used by the provider.

On our website we use social media plugins from the following companies:

Google Plus

Instagram

Facebook

Furthermore we use plugins from Facebook on our website. Facebook is a service of Facebook Inc, 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304 - USA.

The plugins can be recognized by one of the Facebook logos (white "f" on blue tile or a "thumbs up" sign) or are marked with the addition "Facebook Social Plugin". The list and appearance of the Facebook Social Plugins can be viewed here: http://developers.facebook.com/plugins.

If you call up a website of our Internet offer that contains such a plugin, your browser will establish a direct connection with the Facebook servers. The content of the plugin is transmitted by Facebook directly to your browser and integrated into the website by it. We therefore have no influence on the extent of the data that Facebook collects with the help of this plugin and can therefore only inform you of what we are doing with it according to our state of knowledge: When you visit our website, Facebook finds out your IP address and stores it, even if you are not a member of the social media provider Facebook. According to Facebook's own information, however, Facebook only stores an anonymised IP address in Germany. Facebook also receives information about which page of our website you have visited. If you are a member of Facebook and logged into your account, Facebook can assign your visit to your Facebook account. If you interact with the plugins, e.g. if you press the Like button or make a comment, the corresponding information is transmitted from your browser directly to Facebook and stored there. If you are not a member of Facebook, there is still the possibility that Facebook will find out and save your IP address. According to Facebook, only an anonymous IP address is stored in Germany. The purpose and scope of the data collection and the further processing and use of the data by Facebook, as well as the relevant rights and setting options for protecting the privacy of users, can be found in Facebook's data protection information: http://www.facebook.com/policy.php.

If you are a member of Facebook and do not want Facebook to collect data about you via this offer and link it with your membership data stored on Facebook, you must log out of Facebook before visiting our website. You also have the option of blocking Facebook social plug-ins with add-ons for your browser, for example with the "Facebook Blocker". Further settings and objections to the use of data for advertising purposes are possible within the Facebook profile settings: https://www.facebook.com/settings?tab=ads.
