Hosting and E-mail transmission

The hosting services we use are for providing the following services: infrastructure and platform services, computing capacity, storage space and database services, e-mail, security, and technical maintenance services that we use for the purpose of operating this online offer.

In doing so, we, or our hosting provider, process inventory data, contact data, content data, contract data, usage data, meta- and communication data of customers, interested parties and visitors to this online offer on the basis of our legitimate interests in efficient and secure provision of this online offer in accordance with Art.6(1). Lit.f. GDPR in combination with art. 28 GDPR (order processing contract).

Online presence in social media

We maintain online presences within social networks and platforms in order to communicate with the customers, interested parties and users active there and to inform them about our services.

We would like to point out that data of the users can be processed outside the area of the European Union. This can create risks for users, as this could, for example, make it more difficult to enforce users’ rights. Regarding US providers that are certified under the Privacy Shield, we would like to point out that they are committed to complying with EU data protection standards.

Furthermore, users’ data is usually processed for market research and advertising purposes. For example, user profiles can be created from the usage behaviour and the resulting interests of the users. The usage profiles can in turn be used to run, for example, advertisements inside and outside the platforms that presumably correspond to the interests of the users. For these purposes, cookies are usually stored on the computers of the users, in which the user’s behaviour and the interests of the users are stored. Furthermore, data may also be stored in the user profiles independently of the devices used by the users (especially if the users are members of the respective platforms and are logged in to them).

The processing of the personal data of the users takes place on the basis of our legitimate interests in the effective information of the users and communication with the users in accordance with Art. 6 sec. 1 lit. f. GDPR. If the users are asked by the respective providers of the platforms for a consent to the prescribed data processing, the legal basis of the processing is Art.6 sec.1 lit. a. and Art. 7 GDPR.

For a detailed presentation of the respective processing and the opposition options (opt-out), we refer to the following linked information of the providers.

Even in the case of requests for information and the assertion of user rights, we would like to point out that these can be claimed most effectively from the providers. Only the providers have access to the data of the users and can take appropriate measures and provide information directly. If you still need help, you can contact us.

Integration of services and contents of third parties

We place within our online offer on the basis of our legitimate interests (i.e. interest in the analysis, optimization and economic operation of our online offer within the meaning of Art. 6 sec. 1 lit. f. GDPR) third-party content or service offerings to include their content and services, such as videos or fonts (hereinafter referred to as “Content”).

This always presupposes that the third-party providers of this content perceive the IP address of the users, since they could not send the content to their browser without the IP address. The IP address is therefore required for the presentation of this content. We make every effort to use only those contents whose respective providers use the IP address only for the delivery of the content. Third parties may also use so-called pixel tags (invisible graphics, also known as “web beacons”) for statistical or marketing purposes. The “pixel tags” allow information on how to evaluate visitor traffic on the pages of this website. The pseudonymous information can also be stored in cookies on the user’s device and, among other things, technical information about the browser and operating system, referring websites, visit time as well as further information on the use of our online offer as well as such information from other sources.

Google Maps

We include the maps of the Google Maps service of Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. The processed data may include in particular IP addresses and location data of the users, which are not collected without their consent (usually carried out within the framework of the settings of their mobile devices). The data can be processed in the United States. Privacy Policy: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/, Opt-Out: https://adssettings.google.com/authenticated.

Using Facebook Social Plugins

On the basis of our legitimate interests (i.e. interest in the analysis, optimization and economic operation of our online offer within the meaning of Art. 6 sec. 1 lit. f. GDPR) we use social plugins (“plugins”) of the social network facebook.com, which is Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland (“Facebook”).

This may include, for example, content such as images, videos or texts and buttons with which users can share content of this online offer within Facebook. The list and appearance of the Facebook social plugins can be viewed here: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/ . Facebook is certified under the Privacy Shield Agreement and thus offers a guarantee to comply with European data protection law (https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt0000000GnywAAC&status=Active).

When a user calls up a feature of this online offer that contains such a plugin, his device establishes a direct connection to the Facebook servers. The content of the plugin is transmitted by Facebook directly to the user’s device and integrated by the user into the online offer. User profiles can be created from the processed data. We therefore have no influence on the extent of the data that Facebook collects with the help of this plugin and therefore informs the users according to our level of knowledge.

By integrating the plugins, Facebook receives the information that a user has accessed the corresponding page of the online offer. If the user is logged in to Facebook, Facebook can assign the visit to his Facebook account. When users interact with the plugins, for example by pressing the Like button or making a comment, the corresponding information is transmitted from your device directly to Facebook and stored there. If a user is not a member of Facebook, there is still the possibility that Facebook will find out and store his IP address. According to Facebook, only an anonymized IP address is stored in Germany.

The purpose and scope of the data collection and the further processing and use of the data by Facebook as well as the rights in this regard and setting options for the protection of the privacy of the users can be found in Facebook’s privacy policy: https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/.

If a user is a Facebook member and does not want Facebook to collect data about him via this online offer and to link it to his or her member data stored on Facebook, he must log out of Facebook and delete his cookies before using our online offer. Further settings and contradictions on the use of data for advertising purposes are possible within the Facebook profile settings: https://www.facebook.com/settings?tab=ads or via the US site http://www.aboutads.info/choices/ or the EU site http://www.youronlinechoices.com/. The settings are platform-independent, i.e. they are applied to all devices, such as desktop computers or mobile devices.
