This data is stored by us until you submit a written request for its deletion.

Further personal data is only collected if you provide information voluntarily, as part of an enquiry or registration or to conclude a contract or via the settings of your browser. Should we pass on data to external service providers, appropriate technical and organisational measures will be taken to ensure that the transfer is in accordance with the legal provisions of data protection.

5.1 It is possible that functions of the web analysis service Google Analytics are used on our website, a web analysis service of Google Inc. (“Google”) in the USA, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043, which uses cookies to help the website analyse how users use the site. The information thus generated is transferred to the provider’s server and stored there. More information on how Google Analytics handles user data can be found in Google’s privacy policy at the following link https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245?hl=de.

5.2 You can disable this by setting up your browser so that no cookies are stored. The information generated by cookies about your use of this website (including your IP address) is transferred to a Google server and stored there. Google will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of the website, compiling reports on website activity and providing other services relating to website activity and internet usage. We use this information solely for the purposes of our own market research and to optimise the design of the website.

5.3 Google may also transfer this information to third parties where required to do so by law, or where such third parties process the information on Google’s behalf. Under no circumstances will Google link your IP address to other data. You may refuse the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser. In this case you may not be able to use all the functions of this website to their full extent. By using this website, you agree to the processing of the data collected about you by Google in the manner and for the purpose described above.

The relationship with the web analytics provider is based on an adequacy decision of the European Commission (in the case of the USA: “Privacy Shield”).

5.6 The data processing is also based on the legal provisions of § 96 para. 3 TKG and Art 6 para. 1 lit f (legitimate interest) of the DSGVO. Our intention within the definition of the DSGVO (legitimate interest) is to improve our offer and our web presence.

 

6. IP-ANONYMISATION

We use the function “Activate IP anonymisation”. This means that your IP address is previously shortened by Google within EU member states or in other signatory states of the EEA. 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 for the purpose of evaluating your use of the website, compiling reports on website activity and providing other services relating to website activity and internet usage for the website operator. The IP address transmitted by your browser within the framework of Google Analytics is not merged with other data from Google].

 

7. FACEBOOK-PLUGINS

7.1 It is possible that our website contains plugins from Facebook, 1601 South California Avenue, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA. With the social media button you can “like” the page. Please note that user-related data can be transferred to third parties (Facebook) via these functions. Facebook is a social network. The respective plugin can be recognised by the Facebook logo. You can view a complete overview of all Facebook plugins under the following link: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins.

7.2 When the plugin is active, it establishes an immediate connection between your internet browser and the Facebook servers as soon as you visit our website.

We, as the provider of our website, are not informed by Facebook about the content of the transferred data or the use of data.

8. INTEGRATION OF SERVICES AND CONTENT OF THIRD PARTIES

8.1 On the website, it is possible that third-party content, such as videos from YouTube, maps from Google Maps, RSS feeds or graphics from other websites are integrated. It is always assumed that the providers of these contents are aware of the IP address of the users, especially since without the IP address the contents cannot be sent to the browser of the respective user. The IP address is therefore necessary for the display of this content. We make every effort to use only such content whose respective providers use the IP address only to deliver the content. However, we have no influence on this if the third-party providers store the IP address for statistical purposes, for example. As far as this is known to us, we inform the users about this.

8.1.1 YouTube videos: Videos stored on YouTube may be embedded on this website. The website only allows a connection to YouTube. YouTube is a service of Google. All YouTube videos on this website have the so-called “extended privacy mode” activated. YouTube provides this extended data protection mode and thus ensures that YouTube does not store cookies with personal data on your computer. When you call up the website and embed the videos, the IP address is transmitted. This cannot be assigned unless you have logged in to YouTube or another Google service before calling up the page or unless you are permanently logged in. As soon as you start playing an embedded video by clicking on it, YouTube will only save cookies on your computer that do not contain any personally identifiable data due to the advanced privacy mode. These cookies can be prevented by appropriate browser settings and extensions. You can find more information on the integration of YouTube videos on the YouTube information page.

8.1.2 Our website may also contain the following third-party content: map material from Google Maps, Instagram, Xing. It is always assumed that the providers of these contents are aware of the IP address of the users, because without the IP address they would not be able to send the contents to the browser of the respective user. The IP address is therefore necessary for the display of this content. We make every effort to use only such content whose respective providers use the IP address only to deliver the content. However, we have no influence on this if the third-party providers store the IP address for statistical purposes, for example. If this is known to us, we will inform the users about it.
