Detailed information on this can be found below in this privacy policy.

Cookies

We use cookies on our websites. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your terminal device and can be read. A distinction is made between session cookies, which are deleted as soon as you close your browser, and permanent cookies stored beyond the individual session. Cookies can contain data that make it possible to recognize the device used. In some cases, however, cookies only contain information on certain settings that cannot be related to a specific person.

We use session cookies and permanent cookies on our websites. The processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 S.1 lit. f GDPR and in the interest of optimizing or enabling user guidance and adapting the presentation of our platform. You can set your browser to inform you about the placement of cookies. This makes the use of cookies transparent for you.

Our Third Parties

Note on data transfer to the USA

Among other things, tools from companies based in the USA are integrated on our platform. If these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to the US servers of the respective companies. We would like to point out that the USA is not a safe third country in the sense of EU data protection law. US companies are obliged to hand over personal data to security authorities without you as a data subject being able to take legal action against this. It can therefore not be ruled out that US authorities (e.g. intelligence services) process, evaluate, and permanently store your data located on US servers for monitoring purposes. We have no influence on these processing activities.

Google Analytics

In order to tailor our website to your needs, we create pseudonymous user profiles with the help of Google Analytics. Google Analytics uses cookies that are stored on your terminal device and can be read by us. In this way, we are able to recognize returning visitors and count them as such.

The data processing is based on your consent pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. a GDPR if you have given your consent via our banners.

The information generated by the cookie about your use of this platform is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. However, as we have activated IP anonymization on this website, your IP address will be shortened by Google beforehand. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transferred to a Google server and shortened there. Where we use providers in unsafe third countries and you consent, the transfer to a third country will be based on Article 49(1)(a) of the GDPR.

We have also concluded a contract with Google Inc. in accordance with Article 28 of the GDPR and standard data protection clauses. Accordingly, Google will use all information strictly for the purpose of evaluating the use of our platform for us and compiling reports on platform activity.

Facebook Pixel

Our platform uses the visitor action pixel from Facebook, Facebook Inc, 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA (“Facebook”) for conversion measurement. This makes it possible to track the behavior of page visitors after they have been redirected to the provider’s platform by clicking on a Facebook ad. This allows the effectiveness of the Facebook ads to be evaluated for statistical and market research purposes and for future advertising measures to be optimized.

The data collected is anonymous for us as the operator of this platform, 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 policy. This enables Facebook to serve advertisements on Facebook pages as well as outside of Facebook. This use of the data cannot be influenced by us as the site operators.

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

In the privacy policy of Facebook, you will find further information on the protection of your privacy: https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/. 

You can also deactivate the “Custom Audiences” remarketing function in the Ad Settings section. To do this, you must be logged in to Facebook.

If you do not have a Facebook account, you can disable usage-based advertising from Facebook on the European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance platform: http://www.youronlinechoices.com 

Google Re/Marketing Services

We use the marketing and remarketing services (Google marketing services for short) of Google. The Google Marketing Services allow us to display advertisements for and on our platform in a more targeted manner in order to present users only with ads that potentially match their interests. For example, if users are shown ads for products they were interested in on other websites, this is called “remarketing”. For these purposes, when our platform and other platforms on which Google marketing services are active are called up, a code is executed directly by Google and so-called (re)marketing tags (invisible graphics or code, also known as “web beacons”) are integrated into the web site. With their help, an individual cookie, i.e. a small file, is stored on the user’s device (comparable technologies can also be used instead of cookies). 

The cookies can be set by various domains, including google.com, doubleclick.net, invitemedia.com, admeld.com, googlesyndication.com, or googleadservices.com. This file records which websites the user has visited, which content he or she is interested in, and which offers he or she has clicked on, as well as technical information on the browser and operating system, referring websites, time of the visit, and other information on the use of the platform. The IP address of the user is also recorded, whereby we inform Google Analytics that the IP address is shortened and only in exceptional cases is transmitted in full to a Google server and shortened there. The IP address is not merged with the user’s data within other Google offerings. This aforementioned information may also be combined with such information from other sources. If the user subsequently visits other websites, he or she may be shown ads tailored to his or her interests.

The user’s data is processed pseudonymously as part of Google’s marketing services. This means that Google does not store and process the name or email address of the user, for example, but processes the relevant data in a cookie-related manner within pseudonymous user profiles. I.e. from Google’s perspective, the ads are not managed and displayed for a specifically identified person, but for the cookie holder, regardless of who this cookie holder is. This does not apply if a user has expressly allowed Google to process the data without this pseudonymization. The information collected by “DoubleClick” about users is transmitted to Google and stored on Google’s servers.

The Google marketing services we use include the online advertising program “Google AdWords”. In the case of Google AdWords, each AdWords customer receives a different “conversion cookie”. Cookies can therefore not be tracked via the platforms of AdWords customers. The information obtained with the help of the cookie is used to create conversion statistics for AdWords customers who have opted for conversion tracking. The AdWords customers learn the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a page tagged with a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not receive any information with which users can be personally identified.

We integrate third-party advertisements based on the Google marketing service “DoubleClick”. DoubleClick uses cookies to enable Google and its partner platforms to serve ads based on users’ visits to this platform or other platforms on the Internet.

We also include third-party advertisements based on Google’s AdSense marketing service. AdSense uses cookies to enable Google and its partner platforms to serve ads based on users’ visits to this platform or other platforms on the Internet.

Another Google marketing service used by us is the “Google Tag Manager”, with the help of which further Google analysis and marketing services can be integrated into our platform (e.g. “AdWords”, “DoubleClick” or “Google Analytics”).

For more information on the use of data for marketing purposes by Google, please visit the overview page: https://www.google.com/policies/technologies/ads. 

Google’s privacy policy is available at https://www.google.com/policies/privacy. 

If you wish to object to the collection of data by Google marketing services, you can use the settings and opt-out options provided by Google: http://www.google.com/ads/preferences. 

Hotjar

This website uses the Hotjar tool of the provider Hotjar Limited (Hotjar Ltd.), Dragonara Business Centre, 5th Floor, Dragonara Road, Paceville St Julian’s STJ 3141, Malta, to analyze the use of our offers.

Hotjar is a complete analytics and feedback tool that provides both online behavioral analysis and feedback from platform visitors. By combining both A) analytics and B) Feedback, Hotjar gives us a big “big picture” of how to improve our platform user experience and performance. In doing so, the analytics tool allows us to measure and observe user behavior (what users do), while the feedback tool allows us to hear what users are saying (user’s voice). As a result, Hotjar allows us to analyze and understand the behavioral patterns of our platform visitors and customers on our platforms through the use of analytics and feedback. The sole purpose of the data collection is to improve the functionality of the website and the overall user and customer experience.

Bing Ads

This platform uses Bing Ads, a service provided by Microsoft Corporation, One Microsoft Way, Redmond, WA 98052-6399, USA – Bing Ads Conversion Tracking. When you click on one of our ads on Bing or on selected platforms of the Bing advertising network, a temporary cookie is stored on your computer. If you now reach a conversion page on our site, it is recorded – recognizable to Microsoft Bing and us – that you have previously clicked on the ad. This is used to create conversion statistics, i.e. to record how many users reach a conversion page after clicking on an ad, i.e. complete an order process. If you do not wish to participate in the tracking procedure, you can also refuse the setting of a cookie required for this – for example, via a browser setting that generally deactivates the automatic setting of cookies. The use of Bing Ads is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The platform operator has a legitimate interest in analyzing user behavior in order to optimize both its platform and its advertising.

Microsoft Clarity

This website uses the “Clarity” service provided by Microsoft Corporation. Clarity enables an analysis of the use of our website. This creates a log of mouse movements and clicks with the intention of deriving potential improvements for the platform. The information collected is transmitted to Clarity and stored there.

Facebook Remarketing

Within our platform, so-called “Facebook pixels” of the social network Facebook, which is operated by Facebook Inc., 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA, or if you are a resident of the EU, Facebook Ireland Ltd, 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland (“Facebook”), are used. With the help of the Facebook pixel, it is possible for Facebook to determine the visitors to our offer as a target group for the display of advertisements, so-called “Facebook ads”. Accordingly, we use the Facebook pixel to display the Facebook ads placed by us only to those Facebook users who have also shown an interest in our platform. This means that with the help of the Facebook pixel we want to ensure that our Facebook ads correspond to the potential interest of the users and do not have a harassing effect. With the help of the Facebook pixel, we can also track the effectiveness of the Facebook ads for statistical and market research purposes by seeing whether users were redirected to our platform after clicking on a Facebook ad.

The Facebook pixel is directly integrated by Facebook when our websites are accessed and can save a so-called cookie, i.e. a small file, on your device. If you subsequently log in to Facebook or visit Facebook while logged in, your visit to our platform will be noted in your profile. The data collected about you is anonymous for us, so it does not allow us to draw any conclusions about the identity of the user. However, the data is stored and processed by Facebook so that a connection to the respective user profile is possible. The processing of the data by Facebook takes place within the framework of Facebook’s data usage policy. Accordingly, you can find more information on how the remarketing pixel works and generally on the display of Facebook ads, in Facebook’s data usage policy: https://www.facebook.com/policy.php. 

You can object to the collection by the Facebook pixel and use of your data for the display of Facebook ads. To do so, you can visit the page set up by Facebook and follow the instructions there on the settings for usage-based advertising: https://www.facebook.com/settings?tab=ads or declare the objection via the US page http://www.aboutads.info/choices/  or the EU page http://www.youronlinechoices.com/. The settings are platform-independent. The settings are platform-independent, i.e. they are applied to all devices, such as desktop computers or mobile devices.

Security, the legal bases, and your rights

Security

Security measures

In order to protect your data from unwanted access as comprehensively as possible, we take technical and organizational measures. We use an encryption procedure on our pages. Your data is transferred from your computer to our server and vice versa via the Internet using TLS encryption. You can recognize this by the fact that the lock symbol is closed in the status bar of your browser and the address line begins with HTTPS://.

We take organizational, contractual, and technical security measures in accordance with the state of the art to ensure that the provisions of the data protection laws are complied with and to protect the data processed by us against accidental or intentional manipulation, loss, destruction, or against access by unauthorized persons. To protect the security of your data during transmission, we use state-of-the-art encryption procedures (e.g. SSL) via HTTPS.

SSL Encryption

Our website uses SSL encryption when transmitting confidential or personal content of our users. This encryption is activated, for example, when processing payment transactions and when you send us inquiries via our website. Please make sure that SSL encryption is activated on your side for corresponding activities. The use of encryption is easy to recognize: The display in your browser line changes from “http://” to “https://”. Data encrypted via SSL cannot be read by third parties. Only transmit your confidential information when SSL encryption is activated and contact us in case of doubt.

Encrypted Payment Transactions

We secure your data in payment transactions. For this reason, our platform uses SSL encryption for security reasons and to protect your confidential as well as personal contents during the transmission of payment transactions. You can see for yourself whether SSL encryption is activated or not. You can recognize the use of encryption by the address bar of the browser. Only if the regular display changes from “http://” to “https://” is the data transmission encrypted. The browser line “https://” indicates the use of SSL encryption, the payment transaction is now encrypted. Activating SSL encryption makes it impossible for third parties to read your confidential data. Therefore, only transfer your data when SSL encryption is activated.

The legal bases of the processing

The legal bases for processing are listed below and at least one of these must apply whenever we process personal data:

  • Consent: the individual has given clear consent to process personal data for a specific purpose.
  • Contract: the processing is necessary for a contract or because you have asked us to take specific steps before entering into a contract.
  • Legal obligation: the processing is necessary for us to comply with the law (not including contractual obligations).
  • Vital interests: the processing is necessary to protect someone’s life.
  • Public task: the processing is necessary for us to perform a task in the public interest or for official functions, and the task or function has a clear basis in law.
  • Legitimate interests: the processing is necessary for our legitimate interests or the legitimate interests of a third party unless there is a good reason to protect your personal data which overrides those legitimate interests.

If data is collected on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. f GDPR (data processing for the protection of legitimate interests), you have the right to object to the processing at any time for reasons arising from your particular situation. We will then no longer process the personal data unless there are demonstrably compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override the interests, rights, and freedoms of the data subject, or the processing serves to assert, exercise, or defend legal claims.
  • Right of appeal to a supervisory authority. Pursuant to Article 77 of the GDPR, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority if you are of the opinion that the processing of data concerning you violates data protection regulations.
