a) Categories of data concerned, recipients, purposes of the processing This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google, Inc. (“Google”). As our processor, Google will process the data collected via Google Analytics in order to analyze your use of the website, compile reports on corresponding activities, and provide us with other services related to the use of our website. The statistics obtained in this way enable us to improve our services and make them more interesting for you as a user. To do this, Google Analytics uses cookies, whereby the information generated by these cookies about your use of this website is usually transferred to a Google server in the US and stored there. Personal data is generally not processed when using Google Analytics. In the event that IP anonymization is activated on this website, however, your IP address will be truncated beforehand 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 truncated there. Insofar as personal data is transferred to the USA, an adequate level of data protection is ensured by means of suitable guarantees. To this end, EU standard contractual clauses have been concluded with the provider. Copies of these can be obtained from the responsible party or directly from the European Union at the following link: Please note that Google Analytics has been extended by the “AnonymizeIP” plug-in on our web pages in order to ensure that your IP address is also logged anonymously in these exceptional cases, so that your data cannot be linked to you personally. The IP address transmitted by your browser for Google Analytics is not merged with other data from Google.

b) Legal bases, storage period The legal basis for the use of Google Analytics is Article 6(1)(a)/(f) GDPR. Sessions are regularly terminated after 30 minutes without activity and campaigns after six months; data on campaigns can be stored for a maximum of two years.

4 Social Media Plugins

We use click boxes on our website that allow you to share certain content from our website with other members of this network via the social network of the respective provider. You can recognize these services by their icons. We currently use click boxes that allow you to connect to the following social network providers (hereinafter “providers”) via HTML hyperlink: Facebook (including Pinterest and Instagram), Google (you can recognize the provider from the click field logo). All of these plug-ins are deactivated as long as you do not activate the relevant click field by clicking on it. Only when you click on it will your IP address and your referrer URL (hereinafter “social media data”) be transmitted to the respective providers. This also applies if you do not have your own account with the respective provider or are not logged in. If you are logged in with the provider, the social media data we collect is directly assigned to your account with the provider. We recommend that you log out regularly after using a social network, but especially before activating the click box, as this will prevent you from being linked to your profile with the provider of the social network. The click boxes give you the opportunity to interact with the respective social networks and their users, which allows us to improve our service and make it more interesting for you as a user. The legal basis for our use of the click boxes is Article 6(1)(f) EU GDPR. In the case of Facebook, according to this provider, your IP address is anonymized immediately after it is logged in Germany. Insofar as personal data is transferred to the USA, an adequate level of data protection is ensured by means of suitable guarantees. To this end, EU standard contractual clauses have been concluded with the provider. Copies of these can be obtained from the responsible party or directly from the European Union at the following link: https://eur-lex.europa.eu/eli/dec_impl/2021/914/oj?locale=en You are under no legal or contractual obligation to provide your social media data, nor is this necessary for the conclusion of a contract. The providers store your social media data in usage profiles created about you in order to process them for advertising, market research and/or design their websites to meet your needs. In particular, they are analyzed (also for users who are not logged in) in order to display tailored advertising and inform other users of the social network about your activities on our website. You have a right to object to the creation of these user profiles, whereby you must contact the respective provider to exercise this right.

We have no influence on the collected data and data processing procedures of the providers, nor are we aware of the full scope of the data collection, the purposes of processing, or the storage periods, nor do we have information on the deletion of the collected data by individual providers. Further information about the purpose and scope of their data collection can be found in each of the privacy policies listed below. They also contain further information about your rights in this regard and setting options for protecting your privacy:
