We offer you the opportunity to apply to us (e.g., by email, mail, or via an online application form).

The legal basis for this is § 26 BDSG under German law (initiation of an employment relationship), Art. 6 Abs. 1 lit. b DSGVO (general contract initiation), and – if you have given consent – Art. 6 Abs. 1 lit. a DSGVO.

Longer retention may also occur if you have given consent (Art. 6 Abs. 1 lit. a DSGVO) or if statutory retention obligations oppose deletion.

General Notes and Mandatory Information

Data Protection

The operators of these pages take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with the legal data protection regulations as well as this privacy policy.

When you use this website, various personal data is collected. Personal data is data that can be used to identify you personally. This privacy policy explains which data we collect and how we use it. It also explains how and for what purpose this happens.

We point out that data transmission over the internet (e.g., when communicating via email) can have security vulnerabilities. Complete protection of data from access by third parties is not possible.

Storage Duration

Unless a more specific storage duration is mentioned in this privacy policy, your personal data remains with us until the purpose for data processing ceases. If you assert a legitimate request for deletion or revoke consent for data processing, your data will be deleted, unless we have other legally permissible reasons for the storage of your personal data (e.g., tax or commercial retention periods); in the latter case, deletion will occur after these reasons no longer apply.

Note on Data Transfer to the USA

Our website includes tools from companies based in the USA. When these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to the US servers of the respective companies. We point out that the USA is not a safe third country in terms of EU data protection law. US companies are required to disclose personal data to security authorities without you being able to take legal action against it. Therefore, it cannot be excluded that US authorities (e.g., intelligence agencies) may process, evaluate, and permanently store your data on US servers for surveillance purposes. We have no influence on these processing activities.

SSL or TLS Encryption

This site uses SSL or TLS encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or inquiries you send to us as the site operator. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the address line of the browser changing from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock symbol in your browser line.

When SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

Information Obligations under Art. 13 GDPR

This information is directed at customers, prospects, suppliers, and employees. Your personal data will be processed by us for the following purposes:

• To fulfill our contractual obligations towards you (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR).
• To carry out pre-contractual obligations (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR).
• To respond to inquiries (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR).
• If you have given us consent to process your personal data for specific purposes (e.g., receiving our newsletter), data processing takes place based on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR).
• To fulfill legal obligations to which our company is subject (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR).
• As far as necessary, we also process your data to protect our legitimate interests, particularly for asserting legal claims and defending against legal disputes or ensuring IT security, consulting with and exchanging data with credit agencies to assess credit and default risks, direct advertising and market research if you have not objected to the use of your data for this purpose, business management and development of services and products, product and sales optimization, risk management, and preventing or clarifying criminal offenses (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR).

Categories of Recipients of Personal Data

Within our company, only those employees who need the data to fulfill their tasks have access (need-to-know principle). Certain processes and services are carried out by carefully selected and data protection-compliant service providers based in the EEA. If service providers commissioned by us gain access to personal data while performing their services, contracts for processing orders according to Art. 28 para. 3 GDPR have been concluded with them.

Duration of Data Storage

The data we process is stored for the duration of the contract relationship and the processing of the contract, as well as in compliance with legal retention periods. This particularly includes commercial and tax retention obligations according to the Commercial Code (HGB) and the Fiscal Code (AO). The regular retention or documentation periods are up to ten years. If there is no contract relationship, we process the data only as long as the specific purpose requires.

Your Rights as a Data Subject

As a data subject, you have the following rights concerning your personal data:

• Right to information about the data we process concerning you.
• Right to correction or deletion if the data is incorrect, not current, or unlawfully collected.
• Right to restriction of processing if complete deletion is not possible, e.g., because we have legal retention obligations.

This is the case if the processing is not necessary for fulfilling a contract with you. When asserting your right to object, please provide reasons why we should not process your data as carried out.

Your Rights

Revocation of Your Consent to Data Processing

Many data processing operations are only possible with your explicit consent. You can revoke any consent you have already given at any time. The legality of the data processing carried out up to the point of revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

Right to Object to Data Collection in Special Cases and to Direct Marketing (Art. 21 GDPR)

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

If your personal data is processed for the purpose of direct marketing, you have the right to object to the processing of your personal data for such advertising purposes at any time; this also applies to profiling insofar as it is related to such direct marketing.

In the event of violations of the GDPR, affected individuals have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, especially in the member state of their habitual residence, place of work, or the location of the alleged violation. The right to lodge a complaint is without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedies.

Right to Data Portability

You have the right to receive data that we process automatically based on your consent or in the performance of a contract in a common, machine-readable format, and to transmit those data to yourself or to a third party.

• If you contest the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we generally need time to verify this. During the verification period, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
• If the processing of your personal data has been or is unlawful, you may request the restriction of data processing instead of deletion.
• If we no longer need your personal data but you need it for the assertion, exercise, or defense of legal claims, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of deletion.
• If you have lodged an objection under Art. 21 (1) GDPR, a balance must be struck between your and our interests. As long as it is not yet clear which interests outweigh, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.

If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, such data may only be processed – aside from storage – with your consent or for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims, or to protect the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or a member state.

If you are logged into your YouTube account, you allow YouTube to assign your browsing behavior directly to your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account.

Furthermore, YouTube may store various cookies on your device or use similar recognition technologies (e.g., device fingerprinting) after starting a video. This allows YouTube to obtain information about visitors to this website. This information is used, among other things, to collect video statistics, improve user-friendliness, and prevent fraud.

Additional data processing operations may be triggered after starting a YouTube video, over which we have no control.

The use of YouTube is in the interest of an engaging presentation of our online offers. This constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR. If consent has been requested, processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR; consent can be withdrawn at any time.

Google Analytics

Type and Scope of Processing

This website uses features of the web analytics service Google Analytics. The provider is Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

Google Analytics enables the website operator to analyze the behavior of website visitors. The website operator receives various usage data, such as page views, duration of stay, operating systems used, and the user's origin. This data may be compiled into a profile associated with the respective user or their device by Google.

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

We also use the technical extension "Google Signals," which enables cross-device tracking. This allows for the association of a single website visitor with different devices. This happens only if the visitor is logged into a Google service during website visits and has activated the "personalized ads" option in their Google account settings. Even then, no personal data or user profiles are accessible to us; they remain anonymous.

If you do not wish to use "Google Signals," you can disable the "personalized ads" option in your Google account settings.

Purpose and Legal Basis

The use of this analysis tool is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in analyzing user behavior to optimize their web offerings and advertising. If consent has been obtained (e.g., consent to store cookies), processing is carried out solely based on Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR; consent can be revoked at any time. Data transfer to the USA is based on the Standard Contractual Clauses of the EU Commission. Details can be found here: https://privacy.google.com/businesses/controllerterms/mccs/.

IP Anonymization

This means that your IP address is shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area before being transmitted to the USA. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. On behalf of the website operator, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, compile reports on website activities, and provide additional services related to website and internet use to the website operator. The IP address transmitted by your browser in the context of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.

Browser Plugin

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

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

Google DoubleClick

Type and Scope of Processing

We have integrated components of DoubleClick by Google on our website. DoubleClick is a brand of Google under which specialized online marketing solutions are marketed to advertising agencies and publishers. DoubleClick by Google transmits data to the DoubleClick server with each impression as well as with clicks or other activities.

Each of these data transmissions triggers a cookie request to the affected person's browser. If the browser accepts this request, DoubleClick sets a cookie in your browser.

DoubleClick uses a cookie ID necessary for processing the technical procedure. The cookie ID is needed, for example, to display an advertisement in a browser. DoubleClick can also track which ads have been displayed in a browser to avoid double impressions. Furthermore, DoubleClick can capture conversions via the cookie ID. Conversions are recorded, for example, when a user has previously seen a DoubleClick ad and then completes a purchase on the advertiser's website using the same internet browser.

A DoubleClick cookie does not contain personal data but may include additional campaign identifiers. A campaign identifier helps identify campaigns with which you have previously interacted on other websites. As part of this service, Google becomes aware of data that Google also uses to generate commission settlements. Google can track, among other things, that you clicked on specific links on our website. The data is shared with DoubleClick’s operator, Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. Further information and the applicable privacy policies of DoubleClick by Google can be found at https://policies.google.com/privacy.

Purpose and Legal Basis

The use of Google DoubleClick is in the interest of targeted advertising measures. This constitutes a legitimate interest under Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. If consent has been obtained (e.g., consent for storing cookies), processing is carried out solely on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR; consent can be revoked at any time.

Retention Period

The specific retention period of the processed data is not within our control but is determined by Google Ireland Limited. For more information on how to object to the ads displayed by Google, see the following links: https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads and https://adssettings.google.com/authenticated.

To this end, your browser must connect to Google's servers. This allows Google to know that your IP address has accessed this website. If your browser does not support web fonts, a standard font from your computer will be used.

Purpose and Legal Basis

The use of Google WebFonts is based on Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in ensuring the uniform presentation of fonts on their website.

The reCAPTCHA analyses run entirely in the background. Website visitors are not informed that an analysis is taking place.

Purpose and Legal Basis

The storage and analysis of the data are based on Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in protecting their web offerings from abusive automated spying and spam. If consent has been obtained, processing is carried out solely on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR; consent can be revoked at any time.

The operators of these pages take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We handle your personal data confidentially and in accordance with legal data protection regulations and this privacy policy.

When you use this website, various personal data is collected. Personal data is data that can be used to identify you personally. This privacy policy explains what data we collect and how we use it. It also explains how and for what purpose this is done.

We would like to point out that data transmission over the internet (e.g., when communicating via email) may have security vulnerabilities. A complete protection of data from access by third parties is not possible.

Storage Duration

Unless a more specific storage duration is stated within this privacy policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for processing the data ceases. If you make a legitimate request for deletion or revoke your consent to data processing, your data will be deleted unless we have other legally permissible reasons for storing your personal data (e.g., tax or commercial law retention periods); in the latter case, deletion will occur after these reasons no longer apply.

Note on Data Transfer to the USA

Our website includes tools from companies based in the USA. When 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 considered a safe third country under EU data protection law. US companies are required to disclose personal data to security authorities without you having legal recourse. Therefore, it cannot be ruled out that US authorities (e.g., intelligence services) may process, evaluate, and store your data located on US servers for surveillance purposes. We have no influence over these processing activities.

SSL or TLS Encryption

This site uses SSL or TLS encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or inquiries that you send to us as the site operator. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the change in the address line of the browser from "http://" to "https://" and the lock symbol in your browser line.

When SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

These include commercial and tax retention obligations under the Commercial Code (HGB) and the Fiscal Code (AO). The regular retention or documentation periods can be up to ten years.

Your Rights

Revocation of Your Consent to Data Processing

Many data processing operations are only possible with your explicit consent. You can withdraw any consent you have already given at any time. The legality of the data processing carried out up to the point of withdrawal remains unaffected by the withdrawal.

Right to Object to Data Collection in Special Cases and to Direct Marketing (Art. 21 GDPR)

If the data processing is based on Art. 6(1)(e) or (f) GDPR, you have the right to object to the processing of your personal data at any time for reasons arising from your particular situation; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions. The legal basis on which the processing is based can be found in this privacy policy. If you object, we will no longer process your affected personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that override your interests, rights, and freedoms, or the processing serves the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims (objection under Art. 21(1) GDPR).

If your personal data is processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of your personal data for such advertising purposes; this also applies to profiling to the extent that it is related to such direct marketing. If you object, your personal data will no longer be used for direct marketing purposes (objection under Art. 21(2) GDPR).

Right to Lodge a Complaint with the Competent Supervisory Authority

In the event of violations of the GDPR, affected individuals have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, particularly in the member state of their habitual residence, their place of work, or the place of the alleged infringement. The right to lodge a complaint is without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedies.

Right to Data Portability

You have the right to request that data we process automatically based on your consent or in fulfillment of a contract be handed over to you or to a third party in a common, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of data to another controller, this will only be done insofar as it is technically feasible.

Right to Access, Deletion, and Correction

You have the right, within the scope of applicable legal provisions, to obtain free information about your stored personal data, its origin, recipients, and the purpose of data processing, and, if applicable, a right to correction or deletion of this data. For this purpose, and for further questions regarding personal data, you can contact us at any time using the address provided in the imprint.

Right to Restriction of Processing

You have the right to request the restriction of processing your personal data. For this purpose, you can contact us at any time using the address provided in the imprint. The right to restriction of processing exists in the following cases:

• If you dispute the accuracy of your stored personal data, we usually need time to verify this. During the verification period, you have the right to request the restriction of processing your personal data.
• If the processing of your personal data is unlawful, you may request the restriction of data processing instead of deletion.
• If we no longer need your personal data, but you need it for the assertion, defense, or enforcement of legal claims, you have the right to request the restriction of processing your personal data instead of deletion.
• If you have lodged an objection under Art. 21(1) GDPR, a balance must be struck between your interests and ours. As long as it is not clear whose interests outweigh, you have the right to request the restriction of processing your personal data.

If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, these data may only be processed – aside from their storage – with your consent or for the assertion, exercise, or defense of legal claims or to protect the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of significant public interest of the European Union or a member state.

How is my data processed in detail?

Below, we inform you about the individual processing operations, the scope and purpose of data processing, the legal basis, the obligation to provide your data, and the respective retention period. Automated decisions in individual cases, including profiling, do not take place.

Conclusion of a Data Processing Agreement

To ensure data protection-compliant processing, we have entered into a data processing agreement with our host.

Type and Scope of Processing

The provider of the pages automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser transmits to us automatically. These are:

• Browser type and browser version
• Operating system used
• Referrer URL
• Hostname of the accessing computer
• Time of the server request
• IP address

There will be no merging of this data with other data sources.

The collection of this data is based on Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the technically error-free presentation and optimization of its website – for this purpose, server log files must be collected.

Contact Form

If you send us inquiries via the contact form, your details from the inquiry form, including the contact information you provide there, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the inquiry and for follow-up questions. We will not disclose this data without your consent.

The processing of this data is based on Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR, insofar as your inquiry is related to the fulfillment of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective handling of inquiries addressed to us (Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR) if it has been requested.

The data you enter in the contact form will remain with us until you request us to delete it, revoke your consent to storage, or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies (e.g., after the processing of your inquiry is completed). Mandatory legal provisions – especially retention periods – remain unaffected.

Inquiry by Email, Phone, or Fax

If you contact us by email, phone, or fax, your inquiry, including all resulting personal data (name, inquiry), will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of handling your concern. We will not disclose this data without your consent.

The processing of this data is based on Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR, insofar as your inquiry is related to the fulfillment of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective handling of inquiries addressed to us (Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR) if it has been requested.

The data you send to us via contact inquiries will remain with us until you request us to delete it, revoke your consent to storage, or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies (e.g., after the processing of your concern is completed). Mandatory legal provisions – especially statutory retention periods – remain unaffected.

Registration of a User Account

You can register on this website to use additional features on the site. The data entered during registration will be used only for the purpose of using the respective offer or service for which you registered.

The processing of the data entered during registration is for the purpose of executing the user relationship established by the registration and possibly initiating further contracts (Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR).

The data collected during registration will be stored by us as long as you are registered on this website and will then be deleted. Legal retention periods remain unaffected.

Presence on Social Media Platforms

Data Processing by Social Networks

We maintain publicly accessible profiles on social networks. The specific social networks we use are listed below.

Social networks such as Facebook, Twitter, etc., can generally analyze your user behavior extensively when you visit their website or a website with integrated social media content (e.g., like buttons or advertising banners). By visiting our social media presences, numerous data processing operations related to privacy are triggered. Specifically:

If you are logged into 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 collected even if you are not logged in or do not have an account with the respective social media portal. This data collection can occur, for example, through cookies stored on your device or by recording your IP address.

Using the data collected in this way, the operators of the social media portals can create user profiles containing your preferences and interests. This allows interest-based advertising to 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 where you are logged in or have been logged in.

Please also note that we cannot trace all processing activities on the social media portals. Depending on the provider, additional processing operations may be carried out by the operators of the social media portals. Details can be found in the terms of use and privacy policies of the respective social media portals.

Legal Basis

Our social media presences are intended to ensure a comprehensive presence on the internet. This is a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. The analysis processes initiated by the social networks may be based on differing legal bases specified by the operators of the social networks (e.g., consent within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR).

Responsibility and Assertion of Rights

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

Please note that despite the joint responsibility with the social media portal operators, we do not have full influence over the data processing operations of the social media portals. Our options are primarily determined by the corporate policies of the respective provider.

Retention Period

The data directly collected by us through the social media presence will be deleted from our systems as soon as you request us to delete it, revoke your consent to storage, or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies. Stored cookies remain on your device until you delete them. Mandatory legal provisions – particularly retention periods – remain unaffected.

We have no influence over the retention period of your data stored by the operators of social networks for their own purposes. For details, please consult the social network operators directly (e.g., in their privacy policy, see below).

This website embeds YouTube videos. The provider of these pages is Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

We use YouTube in extended privacy mode. According to YouTube, this mode ensures that YouTube does not store information about visitors to this website before they view the video. However, the transfer of data to YouTube partners is not necessarily excluded by extended privacy mode. Thus, YouTube – regardless of whether you watch a video – establishes a connection to the Google DoubleClick network.

If you are logged into your YouTube account, YouTube can directly associate your browsing behavior with your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account.

Furthermore, YouTube may store various cookies on your device or use similar recognition technologies (e.g., device fingerprinting) after starting a video. This allows YouTube to obtain information about visitors to this website. This information is used, among other things, to collect video statistics, improve user-friendliness, and prevent fraud.

Additional data processing operations may be triggered after starting a YouTube video, over which we have no influence.

The use of YouTube is intended for an appealing presentation of our online offerings. This constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. If consent was requested, the processing is solely based on Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR; consent can be revoked at any time.

For more information on data protection at YouTube, please refer to their privacy policy at: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en.

Google Analytics

Type and Scope of Processing

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 analyze the behavior of website visitors. The website operator receives various usage data, such as page views, duration of stay, operating systems used, and origin of the user. This data may be compiled into a profile associated with the respective user or their device.

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

We also use the technical extension “Google Signals,” which enables cross-device tracking. This allows for linking a single website visitor with various devices. However, this only occurs if the visitor has logged into a Google service during their website visits and has enabled the “personalized ads” option in their Google account settings. Even then, no personal data or user profiles are accessible to us; they remain anonymous.

If you do not wish to use “Google Signals,” you can deactivate the “personalized ads” option in your Google account settings.

Purpose and Legal Basis

The use of this analytics tool is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in analyzing user behavior to optimize both their web offering and advertising. If explicit consent has been obtained (e.g., consent for storing cookies), processing is solely based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR; the consent can be revoked at any time. Data transfer to the USA is based on the standard contractual clauses of the EU Commission. Details can be found here: https://privacy.google.com/businesses/controllerterms/mccs/.

 

IP Anonymization

We have activated the IP anonymization feature on this website. This means that your IP address is shortened by Google within the member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area before being transmitted to the USA. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address 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, compile reports on website activities, and provide additional services related to website and internet usage to the website operator. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics is not merged with other data from Google.

 

Browser Plugin

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

More information about handling user data in Google Analytics can be found in Google’s privacy policy: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245?hl=de.

 

Order Processing

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

Google DoubleClick

Nature and Scope of Processing

We have integrated components of DoubleClick by Google on our website. DoubleClick is a Google brand that primarily markets special online marketing solutions to advertising agencies and publishers. DoubleClick by Google transfers data to the DoubleClick server with every impression, click, or other activity.

Each of these data transmissions triggers a cookie request to the browser of the affected person. If the browser accepts this request, DoubleClick sets a cookie in your browser.

DoubleClick uses a cookie ID required for the technical process. For example, the cookie ID is needed to display an ad in a browser. DoubleClick can also track which ads have already been displayed in a browser to avoid duplicate ad impressions. Additionally, DoubleClick can use the cookie ID to track conversions. Conversions are tracked, for example, when a user who previously saw a DoubleClick ad makes a purchase on the advertiser’s website using the same internet browser.

A DoubleClick cookie does not contain personal data but may contain additional campaign identifiers. A campaign identifier is used to identify campaigns with which you have already interacted on other websites. Through this service, Google gains access to data that Google also uses to create commission invoices. Google can, among other things, track that you have clicked on certain links on our website. In this case, your data is shared with the DoubleClick operator, Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. More information and the applicable privacy policies for DoubleClick by Google can be found at https://policies.google.com/privacy.

Purpose and Legal Basis

The use of Google DoubleClick is in the interest of targeted advertising measures. This constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. If explicit consent has been obtained (e.g., consent for storing cookies), processing is solely based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR; the consent can be revoked at any time.

Retention Period

The specific retention period for processed data is not influenced by us but is determined by Google Ireland Limited. Further information on objection options against the ads displayed by Google can be found at the following links: https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads and https://adssettings.google.com/authenticated.

Google Fonts

Nature and Scope of Processing

This site uses web fonts provided by Google for consistent font presentation. When you access a page, your browser loads the required web fonts into its browser cache to correctly display texts and fonts.

To this end, the browser you use must connect to Google’s servers. This allows Google to know that this website was accessed via your IP address. If your browser does not support web fonts, a standard font from your computer is used.
