Data protection

General Informationen

The use of our website is possible to a limited extent without providing personal data. If personal data (such as name, address, telephone number, or email address) is collected on our website or through forms, this is always done on a voluntary basis. Please note that data transmission over the Internet (e.g., communication by email) may have security vulnerabilities. Complete protection of data from access by third parties is not possible. We have implemented technical and organizational security measures to protect your data against accidental or intentional manipulation, loss, destruction, or unauthorized access. Our security procedures are regularly reviewed and adapted to technological progress.

We only process the personal data that we receive voluntarily from you in the course of your visit to our website or through the information you provide.

Analytics & Third-Party Tools

It may happen that third-party content is included within our online offerings, such as YouTube videos, Facebook links, Google Maps data, or graphics from other websites, as well as tools for analysis. This usually requires that the providers of these contents (hereinafter referred to as "third parties") perceive the IP address of the users. However, we have no influence if the third parties store the IP address, for example, for statistical purposes. To the extent we are aware, we inform users about this.

Some of the aforementioned third parties may be located outside your country or outside the EU, or may process your personal data there. The level of data protection in other countries may not correspond to that of your country. For example, companies in the USA are required to disclose personal data to security authorities without affected individuals being able to legally object. However, we only transfer your personal data without your consent to countries within the EU or to countries for which the European Commission has determined an adequate level of data protection, or we take measures, as far as possible, to ensure an adequate level of data protection. In the case of your explicit consent to data transfer to third countries, data processing is also based on Art. 49 (1) (a) GDPR. If the data transfer is necessary for the fulfillment of a contract, your data is processed based on Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR.

Ads & Conversion

Google Ads

These pages use Google Ads (formerly Google AdWords) as an online marketing measure to promote our products and services. As part of our advertising measures through Google Ads, we use conversion tracking provided by Google Inc. The provider is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. This tracking tool allows us to better tailor our advertising offer to your interests and needs.

Our pages have a conversion tracking tag or code snippet embedded to better analyze user actions. When you click on a Google Ads advertisement, the “Conversion” cookie from a Google domain is stored on your computer (usually in the browser) or mobile device. Cookies are small text files that store information on your device.

Once you complete an action on our website, Google recognizes the cookie and records your action as a so-called conversion. As long as you are browsing our website and the cookie has not expired, we and Google can see that you reached us via our Google Ads advertisement. The cookie is read and sent back to Google Ads along with the conversion data. It is also possible that other cookies are used to measure conversions.

The data collected by this service are transmitted to a third country (USA). Your explicit consent constitutes the legal basis for this data transfer according to Art. 49 (1) (a) in conjunction with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR. Before giving your consent, we have informed you that the USA currently does not have a level of data protection equivalent to EU standards. For this reason, the European Court of Justice has declared the “Privacy Shield” (adequacy decision according to Art. 45 GDPR) invalid.

If you deactivate the Google conversion tracking cookie via your browser, you block conversion tracking. In this case, you will not be included in the statistics of the tracking tool. You can change the cookie settings in your browser at any time. Further information can be found in Google’s privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de

Google Adsense

These pages use Google AdSense, a service of Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA, for displaying advertisements. Google AdSense uses cookies, which are files that allow Google to analyze your use of our pages by storing information on your device. In addition, Google AdSense uses web beacons—non-visible graphics that enable Google to analyze clicks on this website, traffic on this site, and similar information.

The information collected via cookies and web beacons, your IP address, and the delivery of advertising formats are transmitted to a Google server located in the USA and stored there. Google may share this collected information with third parties if required by law or if Google engages third parties to process the data.

By adjusting your internet browser settings, you can prevent the aforementioned cookies from being stored on your device. However, this may limit the functionality of this website. Further information can be found in Google’s privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de

Google Remarketing

Due to our legitimate interests in analyzing, optimizing, and economically operating our online offering, the remarketing feature of Google Inc., 600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA, is also integrated on our pages. This feature serves to display interest-based advertisements to visitors of the website within the Google advertising network. The visitor's browser stores so-called “cookies,” text files saved on your computer that allow the visitor to be recognized when visiting websites that belong to Google's advertising network. On these pages, the visitor may then be shown advertisements related to content previously viewed on websites that use Google’s remarketing function. According to Google, no personal data is collected in this process. If you do not wish to use Google Remarketing, you can generally disable it by adjusting the settings at http://www.google.com/settings/ads.

Alternatively, you can disable the use of cookies for interest-based advertising via the Network Advertising Initiative by following the instructions at http://www.networkadvertising.org/managing/opt_out.asp.

Google Conversion-Tracking

These pages use the Google Ads service and, in this context, conversion tracking (visitor action analysis). Google Conversion Tracking is an analytics service provided by Google Inc., 600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. When you click on a Google ad, a conversion tracking cookie is placed on your device. These cookies have a limited validity, do not contain personal data, and therefore do not allow personal identification. If you visit certain pages on our website and the cookie has not yet expired, Google and we can recognize that you clicked on the ad and were redirected to that page. Each Google AdWords customer receives a different cookie. Therefore, there is no way for cookies to be tracked across AdWords customer websites.

The information collected using the conversion cookie is used to create conversion statistics. This allows us to know the total number of users who clicked on one of our ads and were redirected to a page containing a conversion tracking tag. However, we do not receive any information that would allow us to personally identify users.

The data collected by this service may be transmitted to a third country (USA). Your explicit consent constitutes the legal basis for this data transfer according to Art. 49 (1) (a) in conjunction with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR. Before giving your consent, we have informed you that the USA currently does not have a level of data protection equivalent to EU standards. For this reason, the European Court of Justice has declared the “Privacy Shield” (adequacy decision according to Art. 45 GDPR) invalid.

You can prevent the storage of cookies by adjusting the technical settings of your browser software. However, please note that in this case you may not be able to use all functions of this website to their full extent. You will then not be included in the conversion tracking statistics.

Furthermore, you can disable personalized advertising for you in the Google Ads settings. Instructions can be found at https://support.google.com/ads/answer/2662922?hl=de. In addition, you can disable the use of cookies by third parties by visiting the Network Advertising Initiative opt-out page at https://www.networkadvertising.org/choices/ and following the provided instructions. Further information and Google’s privacy policy can be found at: https://www.google.de/policies/privacy/
