As a matter of principle, we only process personal data of our users as far as this is necessary to provide a functional website and our contents and services. The processing of personal data of our users regularly only takes place with the user's consent. An exception is made in cases where prior consent cannot be obtained for factual reasons and the processing of the data is permitted by law.

Insofar as we obtain the consent of the data subject for the processing of personal data, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) serves as the legal basis for the processing of personal data.

Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR serves as the legal basis for the processing of personal data required for the performance of a contract to which ¬the data subject is a party. This also applies to processing operations which are necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures.

Insofar as the processing of personal data is necessary to fulfil a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR serves as the legal basis.

If the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person make it necessary to process personal data, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. d GDPR serves as the legal ¬basis.

If the processing is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest of our company or a third party and the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not outweigh the former interest, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR serves as the legal basis for the processing.

The personal data of the person concerned will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of the storage no longer applies. Furthermore, data may be stored if this has been provided for by the European or national legislator in Union regulations, laws or other regulations to which the person responsible is subject. Blocking or erasure of data is also carried out when a storage period prescribed by the above-mentioned standards expires, unless there is a need to continue storing the data for the purpose of concluding or fulfilling a contract.

Among other things, our website includes tools from companies based in the USA. If these tools are active, your personal data may be passed on to the US servers of these companies¬. We would like to point out that the USA is not a safe third country in terms of EU data protection law. US companies are obliged to release personal data to security ¬authorities without you as the data subject being able to take legal action against this. It cannot therefore be excluded that US authorities (e.g. secret services) may process, evaluate and permanently store your data on US servers for monitoring purposes. We have no influence on these processing activities. We have concluded valid appropriate guarantees with the service providers for the transmission to these third countries in accordance with Art. 46 para. 2 GDPR. If you have any further questions, please contact our data protection officer.

This website is hosted by an external service provider (provider). The personal data collected on this website is stored on the provider's servers. This may include IP addresses, contact requests, meta and communication data, contract data, contact details, names, website accesses and other data generated by a website.

The use of the provider is for the purpose of fulfilling the contract with our potential and existing customers (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR) and in the interest of a secure, fast and efficient provision of our online offer by a professional provider (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR).

Our provider will only process your data to the extent necessary to fulfil its performance obligations and will follow our instructions with regard to this data.

In order to guarantee data protection compliant processing, we have concluded a contract for order¬ processing¬ with our provider.

For the purely informational use of our website, it is generally not necessary for you to provide personal data. Whenever our website is called up, our system automatically records data and information from the computer system of the calling terminal.

The following data is collected:

The data is also stored in the log files of our system. These data are not stored together with other personal data of the user.

The legal basis for the temporary storage of data and log files is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.

The temporary storage of the IP address by the system is necessary to enable the website to be delivered to the user's computer. For this purpose, the user's IP address must remain stored for the duration of the session.

Storage in log files is done to ensure the functionality of the website. In addition, the data serves us to optimize the website and to ensure the security of our information technology systems. An evaluation of the data for marketing purposes does not take place in this context.

The use of the provider is for the purpose of fulfilling the contract vis-à-vis our potential and existing customers (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR) and in the interest of a secure, fast and efficient provision of our online offer by a professional provider.

These purposes also include our legitimate interests in data processing in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.

The data will be deleted as soon as they are no longer necessary for the purpose for which they were collected. In the case of the collection of data for the purpose of providing the website, this is the case when the relevant session has ended. Storage beyond this is possible. In this case, the IP addresses of the users are deleted or alienated so that it is no longer possible to assign the calling client.

The collection of data for the provision of the website and the storage of the data in log files is mandatory for the operation of the website. There is therefore no ¬possibility of objection on the part of the user.

Our website uses cookies. Cookies are text files that are stored in the Internet browser or by the Internet browser on the user's computer system. If a user calls up a website, a cookie can be stored on the user's operating system.

When calling up our website, the user is informed about the use of cookies by a content banner and his consent to the processing of the personal data used in this context is obtained and documented in accordance with data protection regulations. In this context, reference is also made to this data protection declaration. There is also a reference there in this context to how the storage of cookies can be prevented in the browser settings.

Whether cookies can be set and retrieved is determined by the settings in your browser. You can, for example, completely deactivate the storage of cookies in your browser, restrict it to certain websites or configure your browser so that it automatically notifies you as soon as a cookie is to be set and asks you for feedback. However, for technical reasons it is necessary to allow the above-mentioned for the full range of functions of our website.

The legal basis for the processing of personal data using technically necessary cookies is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.

The legal basis for the processing of personal data using cookies for analysis purposes is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR if the user has given his consent to this; this consent may be revoked at any time.

If a use of technically necessary cookies takes place:

The purpose of using technically necessary cookies is to simplify the use of websites for users. Some functions of our website cannot be offered without the use of cookies. For these, it is necessary that the browser ¬is recognized even after a page change.

These purposes also include our legitimate interest in the processing of personal data in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.

The user data collected through technically necessary cookies is not used to create user ¬profiles.

The analysis cookies are used to improve the quality of our website and its contents. The analysis cookies enable us to find out how the website is used and thus to constantly optimize our offer.

Cookies are stored on the user's computer and transmitted by the user to our site. Therefore you as a user have full control over the use of cookies. By changing the settings in your internet browser, you can deactivate or restrict the transmission of cookies. Cookies already stored can be deleted at any time. This can also be done automatically. If cookies for our website are deactivated, it may not be possible to use all the functions of the website to their full extent.

You will be informed about the exact storage period in the notes in our content tool. You can contradict already made agreements there.

Our website uses the cookie-content technology of OneTrust, LLC, represented in two main offices ¬in the USA and England: Atlanta, GA, USA (Co-Headquarters), 1200 Abernathy Rd NE, Building 600, Atlanta, GA 30328 United States, and London, England (Co-Headquarters), Dixon House, 1 Lloyd's Avenue, London, EC3N 3DQ (hereinafter "OneTrust"), to obtain your consent to store certain cookies on your terminal device and to document this consent in a manner consistent with data protection.

When you enter our website, a OneTrust cookie is stored in your browser in order to be able to allocate the consents you have given or their revocation. The data collected in this way is stored until you request us to delete it, delete the consent manager provider cookie itself or the purpose for which the data is stored no longer applies. Mandatory legal storage obligations remain unaffected.

OneTrust is used to obtain the legally required consent for the use of cookies. The legal basis for this is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. c GDPR.

We have concluded a contract for order processing with OneTrust. This is a contract which is prescribed by data protection law and ensures that OneTrust processes the personal¬ ¬data of our website visitors only according to our instructions and in compliance with the GDPR.

This website uses functions of the web analysis service Google Analytics. The provider is Google Ireland Limited ("Google"), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

Google Analytics enables the website operator to analyses the behavior of website visitors. In doing so, the website operator receives various usage data, such as page views, length of stay, operating systems used and the origin of the user. Google may combine this data in a profile which is assigned to the respective user or his terminal device.

Google Analytics uses technologies that enable the recognition of the user for the purpose of analyzing user behavior (e.g. cookies or device fingerprinting). The information collected by Google on the use of this website is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there.

This analysis tool is used on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the analysis of user behavior in order to optimize both his website and his advertising. If a corresponding consent has been requested (e.g. consent to the storage of cookies), processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR; the consent can be revoked at any time.

Data transmission to the US is based on the standard contractual clauses of the EU Commission. Details can be found here: https://privacy.google.com/businesses/controllerterms/mccs/.

Details can be found under the following link: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/7667196?hl=de.

You can prevent Google from collecting and processing your data by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de.

You can find more information on how Google Analytics handles user data in Google's privacy policy: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245?hl=de.

We have activated the IP anonymization function on this website. This means that your IP address will be truncated by Google within member states of the European Union or in other states which are party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area before it is transmitted to the USA. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transferred to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on the website activities and to provide further services to the website operator in connection with the use of the website and the internet. The IP address transmitted by your browser within the framework of Google Analytics is not combined with other data from Google.

We have concluded a contract with Google for order processing and fully implement the strict requirements of the German data protection authorities when using Google Analytics.

This website uses the "demographic features" feature of Google Analytics to help the website visitors find appropriate ads within the Google advertising network. This allows reports to be generated which contain information about the age, gender and interests of the site visitors. This data is derived from interest-based advertising by Google and from visitor data from third parties. This data cannot be associated with any particular person. You can deactivate this function at any time via the ad settings in your Google Account or generally prohibit the collection of your data by Google Analytics as described in the section "Objection to data collection".

This website uses the "e-commerce tracking" function of Google Analytics. With the help of e-commerce tracking, the website operator can analyses the purchasing behavior of website visitors to improve his online marketing campaigns. Information such as the orders placed, average order values, shipping costs and the time from viewing to purchase of a product is recorded. This data can be summarized by Google under a transaction ID, which is assigned to the respective user or his device.

The website operator uses Google Ads. Google Ads is an online advertising program of Google Ireland Limited ("Google"), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

Google Ads enables us to display advertisements in the Google search engine or on third party websites if the user enters certain search terms in Google (keyword targeting). Furthermore, targeted advertisements can be played out on the basis of the user data available on Google (e.g. location data and interests) (target group targeting). We as website operators can evaluate this data quantitatively, for example by analyzing which search terms led to the display of our advertisements and how many advertisements led to corresponding clicks.

The use of Google Ads is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in marketing his service products as effectively as possible.

Data transmission to the US is based on the standard contractual clauses of the EU Commission. Details can be found here: https://privacy.google.com/businesses/controllerterms/mccs/.

This website uses Google Conversion Tracking. The provider is Google Ireland Limited ("Google"), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

Google conversion tracking allows Google and us to see if the user has performed certain actions. For example, we can evaluate which buttons on our website were clicked how often and which products were viewed or purchased particularly frequently. This information is used to create conversion statistics. We learn the total number of users who clicked on our ads and what actions they took. We do not receive any information that can be used to personally identify the user. Google itself uses cookies or comparable recognition technologies for identification purposes.

The use of Google Conversion Tracking is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the analysis of user behavior in order to optimize both his website and his advertising.

This website uses Facebook to measure conversions of visitor's action pixels. This service is provided by Facebook Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Dublin 2, Ireland. However, according to Facebook, the data collected is also transferred to the United States and other third countries.

This allows the behavior of site visitors to be tracked after they have clicked on a Facebook ad to be redirected to the provider's website. This allows the effectiveness of Facebook Ads to be evaluated for statistical and market research purposes and future advertising measures to be optimized.

The collected data is anonymous for us as the operator of this website, we cannot draw any conclusions about the identity of the users. However, the data is stored and processed by Facebook so that a connection to the respective user profile is possible and Facebook can use the data for its own advertising purposes, in accordance with the Facebook Data Usage Guidelines. This enables Facebook to enable the placement of advertisements on pages of Facebook as well as outside of Facebook. This use of the data cannot be influenced by us as a site operator.

The use of Facebook pixels is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in effective advertising measures including social media.

This website uses features provided by Criteo. The provider is Criteo SA, 32 Rue Blanche, 75009 Paris (hereinafter "Criteo").

Criteo is used to display interest-based advertisements within the Criteo advertising network. Your interests are determined based on your past usage patterns. For example, Criteo records which products you have viewed, added to your shopping cart or purchased.

In order for us or other Criteo partners to display interest-based advertising to you, we or other Criteo partners must be able to recognize you. To this end, a cookie is stored on your terminal device or a comparable identifier is used to link your user behavior to a pseudonymous user profile.

If the relevant consent has been requested (e.g. consent to the storage of cookies), the processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR; consent may be revoked at any time.

The person concerned can prevent the setting of cookies by our website, as described above, at any time by means of a corresponding setting in the Internet browser used and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies.

Details of Criteo's data processing practices are set out in Criteo's Privacy Policy at: https://www.criteo.com/de/privacy/.

Criteo and we are jointly responsible in the sense of Art. 26 GDPR. An agreement on joint processing has been concluded between Criteo and us, the main contents of which Criteo describes under the following link: https://www.criteo.com/de/privacy/how-we-use-your-data/.

Our contact data and contact form are stored on our website, which can be used to contact us. If a user takes advantage of the possibility via the contact form, the data entered in the input mask is transmitted to us and stored. These data are:

The following data is also saved at the time the message is sent:

For the processing of the data, your consent will be obtained during the sending process and reference will be made to this data protection declaration.

We use the Customer Relationship Management (CRM) "HubSpot", a service of HubSpot Ireland Limited, Ground Floor, Two Dockland Central, Guild Street, Dublin 1, Ireland (hereinafter referred to as "HubSpot"). HubSpot is a web-based CRM and pipeline management solution that enables us to track and structure our communications with our customers.

Alternatively, it is possible to contact us via the e-mail address or telephone number provided. In this case the transmitted personal data (name and enquiry) of the user will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of processing your request.

In this context, the data will not be passed on to third parties without your consent. The data will be used exclusively for processing the conversation.

The legal basis for the processing of the data is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR if the user has given his consent.

The legal basis for the processing of the data transmitted in the course of sending a request is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The legitimate interest lies in the efficient and rapid processing of user enquiries. If the e-mail contact is aimed at the conclusion of a contract, an additional legal basis for processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR.

The processing of the personal data from the input mask or otherwise transmitted data serves us to process the establishment of contact and the handling of user enquiries. In the case of contacting us by e-mail, this is also the necessary legitimate interest in the processing¬ of the data.

The other personal data processed during the sending process serves to prevent misuse of the contact form and to ensure the security of our information technology systems.

The data will be deleted as soon as they are ¬¬no longer necessary for the purpose for which they were collected. This is the case for the personal data from the input mask of the contact form and those sent by e-mail when the respective conversation with the user has ended. The conversation is ended when it can be concluded from the circumstances that the matter in question has been conclusively clarified.

The user has the possibility to revoke his consent to the processing of personal data at any time. If the user contacts us by e-mail, he can object to the storage of his personal data at any time. In such a case the conversation cannot be continued¬. To revoke the consent, you can contact our data protection officer at any time¬ using ¬the contact details above.

All personal data stored in the course of the contact will be deleted in this case.

For more information about "HubSpot", please see the "HubSpot" section of this Privacy Policy.

On our website you can subscribe to a free newsletter. When registering for the newsletter, the data from the input mask is transmitted to us. In order to register for our e-mail newsletter service, we require, in addition to your data protection consent, at least your e-mail address to which the newsletter is to be sent and your name for personal contact. In addition, the date and time of your registration will be recorded.

We use the so-called double opt-in procedure for the newsletter dispatch, i.e. we will only send you the newsletter if you first confirm your registration via a confirmation e-mail sent to you for this purpose via the link contained therein. In this way we want to ensure that only you yourself, as the owner of the e-mail address provided, can subscribe to the newsletter. Your confirmation must be sent within 5 working days of receipt of the confirmation e-mail, otherwise your newsletter registration will be automatically deleted from our database.

The legal basis for the processing of data in newsletter marketing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR if the user has given his consent.

In so far as we transfer data to third countries, we have taken appropriate guarantees in accordance with Art. 46 GDPR in connection with the transfer. We would like to point out that the level of data protection in these countries may differ from the GDPR due to different laws.

Any further information is voluntary and will be used to address you personally and to be able to personally design the content of the newsletter and to be able to clarify any queries regarding your e-mail address. The collection of other personal data during the registration process serves to prevent misuse of the services or the e-mail address used.

The data will be deleted as soon as they are no longer necessary for the purpose for which they were collected. The user's e-mail address is therefore stored for as long as the subscription to the newsletter is active. The other personal data collected during the registration process is usually deleted after a period of seven days.

You can unsubscribe from a newsletter you have subscribed to at any time. To do so, you can either send us an informal e-mail to the above-mentioned contact details or cancel using the link at the end of the newsletter. The revocation does not affect the lawfulness of the processing that has taken place on the basis of the consent given until the revocation. This also enables a revocation of the consent to store the personal data collected during the registration process.

After you have been removed from the newsletter distribution list, your e-mail address may be stored in a blacklist by us or the newsletter service provider to prevent future mailings. The data from the blacklist will only be used for this purpose and will not be merged with other data. This serves both your interest and our interest in compliance with the legal requirements when sending newsletters (legitimate interest in the sense of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR). The storage in the blacklist is not limited in time. You can object to the storage if your interests outweigh our legitimate interest.

For more information about "HubSpot", please see the "HubSpot" section of this Privacy Policy.

This website uses the live chat function of HubSpot, "Messages". The content you enter there will be processed accordingly by the HubSpot system, allowing you to contact us directly.

The data is processed on the basis of the user's consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR).

Insofar as the processing is not based on your consent, the processing is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR on the basis of our justified interest in improving the stability and functionality of our website, as well as for the uniform control of various channels.

The data will be deleted as soon as they are no longer required for our recording purposes.

For more information about "HubSpot", please see the "HubSpot" section of this Privacy Policy.

In the event of important changes, for example in the scope of the offer or technically necessary changes, we will use the e-mail address provided during registration to inform you in this way.

The data entered during registration is processed for the purpose of implementing the user relationship established by the registration and, if necessary, for initiating further contracts (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR).

In the following we will inform you about the scope, purpose and use of your personal data collected during the application process. We assure you that the collection, processing and use of your data will be in accordance with the applicable data protection laws and all other legal requirements and that your data will be treated in strict confidence.

Consent may be revoked at any time. Within our company, your personal data will only be passed on to persons¬ who are involved in the processing of your application.

If the application is successful, the data you have submitted will be stored in our data processing systems for the purpose of carrying out the employment relationship on the basis of § 26 BDSG n.F. and Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR.

If you apply for a job with us, we collect and process your personal data for the purpose of handling the application procedure, for deciding on the establishment of an employment relationship and for carrying out pre-contractual measures.

Only authorized employees from the personnel department or employees involved in the application¬ process have access to your data.

As a matter of principle, personal data is stored exclusively for the purpose of filling the vacant position for which you have applied.

Your data will be stored for a period of 6 months beyond the end of the application process. This is usually done to fulfil legal obligations or to defend against any claims arising from legal regulations. Afterwards we are obliged to delete or make your data anonymous. In this case, the data is only available to us as so-called metadata without direct personal reference for statistical analysis (e.g. percentage of women or men in applications, number of applications per period, etc.).

You will not be informed separately about the deletion of your data.

In addition, we reserve the right to store your data for inclusion in our "Talent Pool" for one year after completion of the application process in order to identify any other positions of interest to you. This also applies, for example, to applications for a training or internship position. For this purpose, we provide you with a separate consent form in which you can agree to any further storage of your data and inclusion in our "Talent Pool". The data will be deleted from the "Talent Pool" after one year.

You will not be informed separately about the deletion of your data.

If you receive an offer of employment with us as part of the application process and accept it, we will store the personal data collected during the application process at least for the duration of the employment relationship.

If personal data are processed by us as the responsible body, you as a data subject have certain rights under Chapter III of the EU Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), depending on the legal basis and purpose of the processing. These can be found in the chapter "Rights of the data subject" of this data protection declaration.

Insofar as the processing of personal data is based on your consent, you have the right to revoke this data protection consent in accordance with Art. 7 para. 3 GDPR. In order to assert your rights as a data subject with regard to the data processed in the application procedure, please contact our data protection officer at the above-mentioned contact details.

We maintain publicly accessible profiles in social networks. You can find the social networks we use in detail below.

Social networks such as Facebook, Twitter, etc. can usually analyses your user behavior comprehensively when you visit their website or a website with integrated social media content (e.g. like buttons or advertising banners). A visit to our social media sites triggers numerous data protection-relevant processing procedures. In detail:

If you are logged in to your social media account and visit our social media presence, the operator of the social media portal can assign this visit to your user account. However, your personal¬ data may also be recorded if you are not logged in or do not have an account with the respective social media portal. In this case, this data is collected, for example, via cookies that are stored on your end device or by recording your IP address.

With the help of the data collected in this way, the operators of social media portals can create user profiles in which your preferences and interests are stored. In this way, interest-related advertising can be displayed to you both within and outside the respective social media presence. If you have an account with the respective social network, interest-based advertising can be displayed on all devices on which you are or were logged in.

Please also note that we are not able to trace all processing on the social media portals. Depending on the provider, further processing may therefore be carried out by the operators of the social media portals. For details, please refer to the ¬terms of use and data protection regulations of the respective social media portals.

Our social media appearances are designed to ensure the widest possible presence on the Internet. This is a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The analysis processes initiated by the social networks may be based on different legal bases, which must be specified by the operators of the social networks (e.g. consent within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR).

In some cases, the use of our social media sites is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR (legitimate interests). Our interests lie in the analysis of trends, interaction with our social media users and the improvement of our campaigns and services. If you require further information on the balancing of interests to be carried out in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR, please contact our data protection officer at the contact details given in this data protection declaration. If necessary, we will obtain your consent for data processing (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR).

If you visit one of our social media sites (e.g. Facebook), we are jointly responsible with the operator of the social media platform for the data processing operations triggered during this visit. You can assert your rights (information, correction, deletion, restriction of processing, data transferability and complaints) both against us and against the operator of the respective social media portal (e.g. against Facebook).

Please note that despite the joint responsibility with the social media portal operators, we do not have full influence on the data processing procedures of the social media portals. Our possibilities depend largely on the corporate policy of the respective provider.

If personal data are processed by us as the responsible body, you as a data subject have certain rights under Chapter III of the EU Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), depending on the legal basis and purpose of the processing. These can be found in the chapter "Rights of the data subject" of this data protection declaration.

The data collected directly by us via the social media presence will be deleted from our systems as soon as the purpose for storing them no longer applies, you request us to delete them, revoke your consent to storage or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies. Stored cookies remain on your end 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 social network operators directly (e.g. in their privacy policy, see below).

This website incorporates videos from YouTube. The operator of the site is Google Ireland Limited ("Google"), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

We use YouTube in advanced privacy mode. According to YouTube, this mode means that YouTube does not store any information about visitors to this website before they watch the video. However, the extended privacy mode does not necessarily exclude the sharing of information with YouTube partners. For example, YouTube connects to the Google DoubleClick network whether or not you are watching a video.

As soon as you start a YouTube video on this website, a connection to the YouTube servers is established. This tells the YouTube server which of our pages you have visited. If you are logged in to your YouTube account, you enable YouTube to assign your surfing behavior directly to your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account.

Furthermore, YouTube can store various cookies on your end device after starting a video or use comparable recognition technologies (e.g. device fingerprinting). In this way, YouTube can obtain information about visitors to this website. This information is used, among other things, to gather video statistics, improve the user experience and prevent fraud.

If necessary, further data processing procedures may be triggered after the start of a YouTube video, over which we have no influence.

YouTube is used in the interest of an attractive presentation of our online offers. This represents a legitimate interest in the sense of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. If a corresponding consent has been requested, the processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR; the consent can be revoked at any time.

The use of Google Maps is in the interest of an attractive presentation of our online offers and to make it easy to find the places we have indicated on the website. This represents a legitimate interest in the sense of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. If the relevant consent has been requested, the processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR; consent may be revoked at any time.

Data transmission to the US is based on the standard contractual clauses of the EU Commission. Details can be found at https://privacy.google.com/businesses/gdprcontrollerterms/ and https://privacy.google.com/businesses/gdprcontrollerterms/sccs/.

The data controller has integrated components of the Affilinet company on this website. Affilinet is a German affiliate network that offers affiliate marketing.

Affiliate marketing is an Internet-supported form of distribution that enables commercial operators of Internet sites, so-called merchants or advertisers, to display advertising, which is usually remunerated by click or sale commissions, on the Internet sites of third parties, i.e. distribution partners also known as affiliates or publishers. Via the affiliate network, the Merchant provides a means of advertising, i.e. an advertising banner or other suitable means of Internet advertising, which is subsequently integrated by an Affiliate on its own Internet pages or advertised via other channels, such as keyword advertising or e-mail marketing.

The operating company of Affilinet is Affilinet GmbH, Sapporobogen 6-8, 80637 Munich, Germany.

Affilinet places a cookie on the information technology system of the person concerned. What cookies are has already been explained above. The tracking cookie of Affilinet does not store any personal data. Only the identification number of the affiliate, i.e. the partner referring the potential customer, as well as the serial number of the visitor of a website and the advertising medium clicked on are stored. The purpose of storing this data is the processing of commission payments between a merchant and the Affiliate, which are processed via the Affiliate network, i.e. Affilinet.

The person concerned can prevent the setting of cookies by our website, as described above, at any time by means of a corresponding setting in the Internet browser used and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Such a setting of the used internet browser would also prevent Affilinet from setting a cookie on the information technology system of the person concerned. In addition, cookies already set by Affilinet can be deleted at any time via an internet browser or other software programs.

The current data protection policy of Affilinet can be found here: https://www.awin.com/de/datenschutzerklarung?utm_medium=redirect&utm_source=www.affili.net

(2) the processing is unlawful and you object to the deletion of the personal data and instead request the restriction of the use of the personal data

If the processing of personal data relating to you has been restricted, such data, apart from being stored, may be processed only with your consent or for the purpose of asserting, exercising or defending legal claims or protecting the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of major public interest of the Union or a Member ¬State.

In exercising this right, you also have the right to obtain that the personal data concerning you be transferred directly from one controller to another controller, as far as this is technically feasible. The freedoms and rights of other persons must not be affected by this.

The right to data transferability does not apply to processing of personal data necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller.

You have the right to object at any time, for reasons arising from your particular situation, to the processing of personal data concerning you which is carried out on the basis of Art. 6, para. 1, lit. e or f of the DPA; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions.

You have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects in relation to you or significantly affects you in a similar way. This does not apply if the decision

(1) for the conclusion or performance of any contract between you and the person responsible,

(2) is authorised by Union or national legislation to which the person responsible is subject and that legislation provides for appropriate measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms and your legitimate interests; or

(3) with your express consent.

However, these decisions may not be based on special categories of personal data pursuant to Art. 9 para. 1 GDPR, unless Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a or g GDPR applies and appropriate measures¬ have been taken to protect rights and freedoms and your legitimate interests.

With regard to the cases referred to in (1) and (3), the responsible person shall take appropriate measures to safeguard the rights and freedoms and your legitimate interests, which shall include at least the right to obtain the intervention of any person from the responsible person, to express his point of view and to challenge the decision.

The supervisory authority to which the complaint has been submitted shall inform the complainant about the status and the results of the complaint, including the possibility of a judicial remedy pursuant to Art. 78 GDPR.
