The processing of the data entered in the contact form takes place exclusively based on your consent (Art. 6 (1)(a) GDPR). You may revoke your consent at any time. An informal email notification is sufficient. The legality of the data processing carried out until the revocation remains unaffected.

YouTube

Our website uses plugins from YouTube to integrate and display video content. The provider of the video platform is YouTube, LLC, 901 Cherry Ave., San Bruno, CA 94066, USA.

When you visit a page with an integrated YouTube plugin, a connection to YouTube’s servers is established. YouTube will be informed which of our pages you have visited.

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 beforehand.

The use of YouTube is in the interest of presenting our online offerings in an appealing way, which constitutes a legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 (1)(f) GDPR.

For details on how user data is handled, please refer to YouTube’s privacy policy at: https://www.google.de

Google Analytics

Our website uses features of the web analytics service Google Analytics. The provider is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.

Google Analytics uses “cookies.” These are small text files that your web browser stores on your device and that enable an analysis of website usage. Information generated by the cookie about your use of our website is transmitted to a Google server and stored there. This server is typically located in the USA.

Google Analytics cookies are set based on Art. 6 (1)(f) GDPR. As the website operator, we have a legitimate interest in analyzing user behavior to optimize both our website and our advertising.

IP Anonymization

We use Google Analytics with IP anonymization enabled. This ensures that Google truncates your IP address within EU member states or in other contracting states of the European Economic Area before it is transmitted to the USA. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be sent to a Google server in the USA and truncated there. Google uses this information on our behalf to evaluate your use of the website, compile reports on website activity, and provide other services relating to website activity and internet usage. The IP address transmitted by Google Analytics is not merged with other Google data.

Browser Plugin

You can prevent the setting of cookies by your web browser. However, this may limit some functions of our website. You can also prevent Google from collecting data related to your website usage and processing this data by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at the following link:

Data Processing Agreement

To fully comply with legal data protection requirements, we have entered into a data processing agreement with Google.

Demographic Features in Google Analytics

Our website uses the “demographic features” function of Google Analytics. This allows reports to be generated that contain statements about the age, gender, and interests of website visitors. These data come from interest-based advertising by Google and third-party visitor data. The data cannot be assigned to a specific person. You can disable this feature at any time via the ad settings in your Google account or by generally prohibiting the collection of your data by Google Analytics, as explained in the “Objection to Data Collection” section.

XING Plugin

Our website uses functions of the XING network. The provider is XING AG, Dammtorstraße 29-32, 20354 Hamburg, Germany.

When a page with integrated XING features is called up, a connection to XING’s servers is established. As far as we know, no personal data is stored. In particular, IP addresses are not stored, and usage behavior is not evaluated.

For more information on data protection and the XING Share Button, please see XING’s privacy policy at:

Google AdWords and Google Conversion Tracking

Our website uses Google AdWords. The provider is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.

AdWords is an online advertising program. We use conversion tracking within the framework of online advertising. After clicking on an ad delivered by Google, a cookie is set for conversion tracking. Cookies are small text files your web browser stores on your device. Google AdWords cookies expire after 30 days and are not used for personal identification of users. Google and we can recognize that you clicked on an ad and were redirected to our site.

Each Google AdWords customer receives a different cookie. The cookies are not trackable across AdWords customers’ websites. Conversion cookies help create conversion statistics for AdWords customers who use conversion tracking. Customers learn how many users clicked their ads and were redirected to pages with a conversion tracking tag. However, AdWords customers do not receive information that personally identifies users.

If you do not wish to participate in tracking, you can opt out. To do so, disable the conversion cookie in your browser’s user settings. This will prevent inclusion in the conversion tracking statistics.

The storage of “conversion cookies” is based on Art. 6 (1)(f) GDPR. We as website operators have a legitimate interest in analyzing user behavior to optimize our website and advertising.

For more information about Google AdWords and Google Conversion Tracking, see Google’s privacy policy:
https://www.google.de/policies/privacy/

You can monitor, restrict, or prevent the setting of cookies with a modern web browser. Disabling cookies may limit the functionality of our website.

Google Web Fonts

Our website uses Google Web Fonts. The provider is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.

Using these web fonts allows us to present our website to you in the way we intend, regardless of which fonts are locally available to you. This is done by retrieving the Google Web Fonts from a Google server in the USA and thereby transmitting your data to Google. This includes your IP address and the page you visited. The use of Google Web Fonts is based on Art. 6 (1)(f) GDPR. We have a legitimate interest in the uniform and attractive presentation of our online services.

Google is certified under the EU-US Privacy Shield agreement. This agreement is intended to ensure compliance with the data protection standards applicable in the EU.
