Relevant legal bases

The following is an overview of the legal basis of the GDPR on the basis of which we process personal data. Please note that in addition to the provisions of the GDPR, national data protection regulations may apply in your or our country of residence or domicile. Furthermore, should more specific legal bases be relevant in individual cases, we will inform you of these in the data protection declaration.

• Consent (Art. 6 (1) p. 1 lit. a) DSGVO) – The data subject has given his/her consent to the processing of personal data relating to him/her for a specific purpose or purposes.
• Legitimate interests (Art. 6(1) p. 1 lit. f) DSGVO) – Processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests of the controller or a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject which require the protection of personal data.

In addition to the data protection regulations of the GDPR, national regulations on data protection apply in Germany. These include, in particular, the Act on Protection against Misuse of Personal Data in Data Processing (Federal Data Protection Act – BDSG). In particular, the BDSG contains special regulations on the right to information, the right to erasure, the right to object, the processing of special categories of personal data, processing for other purposes and transmission, as well as automated decision-making in individual cases, including profiling. Furthermore, state data protection laws of the individual federal states may apply.

 

Security measures

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures, taking into account legal requirements, the state of the art, implementation costs, the nature, scope, context, and purposes of processing, as well as the likelihood and severity of risks to the rights and freedoms of natural persons, to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risk.

The measures include, in particular, safeguarding the confidentiality, integrity and availability of data by controlling physical and electronic access to the data as well as the access, input, transfer, safeguarding of availability and its separation. Furthermore, we have established procedures to ensure the exercise of data subjects’ rights, the deletion of data, and responses to data compromise. Furthermore, we take the protection of personal data into account as early as the development or selection of hardware, software and processes in accordance with the principle of data protection, through technology design and through data protection-friendly default settings.

 

Transmission of personal data

In the course of our processing of personal data, it may happen that the data is transferred to or disclosed to other bodies, companies, legally independent organizational units or persons. Recipients of this data may include, for example, service providers commissioned with IT tasks or providers of services and content that are integrated into a website. In such cases, we comply with the legal requirements and, in particular, conclude appropriate contracts or agreements that serve to protect your data with the recipients of your data.

 

Data processing in third countries

If we process data in a third country (i.e., outside the European Union (EU), the European Economic Area (EEA)) or the processing takes place in the context of the use of third-party services or the disclosure or transfer of data to other persons, entities or companies, this is only done in accordance with the legal requirements.

Subject to express consent or contractually or legally required transfer, we process or allow the processing of data only in third countries with a recognized level of data protection, contractual obligation by so-called standard protection clauses of the EU Commission, in the presence of certifications or binding internal data protection regulations (Art. 44 to 49 DSGVO, information page of the EU Commission:

https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/law-topic/data-protection/international-dimension-data-protection_de).

 

Data deletion

The data processed by us will be deleted in accordance with the legal requirements as soon as their consents permitted for processing are revoked or other permissions cease to apply (e.g. if the purpose of processing this data has ceased to apply or it is not required for the purpose). If the data are not deleted because they are required for other and legally permissible purposes, their processing will be limited to these purposes. That is, the data is blocked and not processed for other purposes. This applies, for example, to data that must be retained for reasons of commercial or tax law or whose storage is necessary for the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person.

Our data protection notices may also contain further details on the retention and deletion of data, which take priority for the respective processing operations.

 

Cookies use

Cookies are small text files or other memory tags that store information on end devices and read information from the end devices. For example, to store the login status in a user account, a shopping cart content in an e-shop, the content accessed or functions used of an online offer. Cookies can also be used for various purposes, e.g. for purposes of functionality, security and convenience of online offers as well as the creation of analyses of visitor flows.

Notes on consent: We use cookies in accordance with the law. Therefore, we obtain prior consent from users, except when it is not required by law. In particular, consent is not required if the storage and reading of information, including cookies, is absolutely necessary in order to provide the user with a telemedia service (i.e., our online offering) expressly requested by the user. The strictly necessary cookies usually include cookies with functions related to the display and operability of the online offer , load balancing, security, storage of users’ preferences and choices or similar purposes related to the provision of the main and secondary functions of the online offer requested by users. The revocable consent will be clearly communicated to the users and will contain the information about the respective cookie use.

Notes on the legal basis for data protection: The legal basis under data protection law on which we process users’ personal data using cookies depends on whether we ask users for consent. If users consent, the legal basis for processing their data is their declared consent. Otherwise, the data processed with the help of cookies is processed on the basis of our legitimate interests (e.g. in a business operation of our online offer and improvement of its usability) or, if this is done in the context of the fulfillment of our contractual obligations, if the use of cookies is necessary to fulfill our contractual obligations. We explain the purposes for which we process the cookies in the course of this privacy policy or as part of our consent and processing procedures.

Storage duration: With regard to the storage period, the following types of cookies are distinguished:

• Temporary cookies (also: session cookies): Temporary cookies are deleted at the latest after a user has left an online offer and closed his end device (e.g. browser or mobile application).
• Permanent cookies: Permanent cookies remain stored even after the terminal device is closed. For example, the login status can be saved or preferred content can be displayed directly when the user visits a website again. Likewise, user data collected with the help of cookies can be used for reach measurement. Unless we provide users with explicit information about the type and storage duration of cookies (e.g., when obtaining consent), users should assume that cookies are permanent and that the storage period can be up to two years.

General information on revocation and objection (opt-out): Users can revoke their given consent at any time and also object to the processing in accordance with the legal requirements of Art. 21 GDPR. Users can also declare their objection through the settings of their browser, for example by disabling the use of cookies (which may also restrict the functionality of our online services). Objection to the use of cookies for online marketing purposes can also be declared via the websites https://optout.aboutads.info and https://www.youronlinechoices.com/.

• Legal basis: Legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR); Consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR).

Further information on processing procedures, methods, and services:

• Processing of cookie data based on consent: We use a procedure for cookie consent management, within which users’ consent to the use of cookies, as well as the processing and providers mentioned in the cookie consent management procedure, can be obtained, managed, and revoked by users. The consent declaration is stored to avoid having to repeat the query and to be able to provide proof of consent in accordance with legal obligations. Storage can be done server-side and/or in a cookie (called an opt-in cookie or similar technologies) to associate the consent with a user or their device. Subject to individual information about providers of cookie management services, the following information applies: The storage duration of consent can be up to two years. In this case, a pseudonymous user identifier is created and stored along with the time of consent, information about the scope of consent (e.g., which categories of cookies and/or service providers), as well as the browser, system, and device used; Legal basis: Consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR).

Provision of the online offering and web hosting

We process the users’ data in order to provide them with our online services. For this purpose, we process the user’s IP address, which is necessary to transmit the content and functions of our online services to the user’s browser or terminal device.

• Processed data types: Usage data (e.g., visited websites, interest in content, access times); meta, communication, and procedural data (e.g., IP addresses, time information, identification numbers, consent status).
• Individuals affected: Users (e.g., website visitors, users of online services).
• Purposes of processing: Provision of our online offering and user-friendliness; information technology infrastructure (operation and provision of information systems and technical devices such as computers, servers, etc.); security measures.
• Legal basis: Legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).

Further information on processing procedures, procedures, and services:

• Collection of access data and log files: Access to our online offering is logged in the form of so-called server log files. Server log files may include the address and name of the accessed web pages and files, date and time of access, data volumes transferred, message about successful retrieval, browser type and version, the user’s operating system, referrer URL (the previously visited page), and usually IP addresses and the requesting provider. Server log files can be used for security purposes, for example, to avoid overloading the servers (especially in the case of abusive attacks, so-called DDoS attacks), and to ensure the utilization and stability of the servers; Legal basis: Legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR); Data deletion: Log file information is stored for a maximum of 30 days and then deleted or anonymized. Data, the further storage of which is necessary for evidentiary purposes, is excluded from deletion until the respective incident has been finally clarified.

 

Blogs and publication media

We use blogs or similar means of online communication and publication (hereinafter referred to as “publication media”). The data of the readers is only processed for the purposes of the publication media to the extent necessary for its presentation and the communication between authors and readers or for security reasons. Furthermore, we refer to the information on the processing of visitors to our publication media within the scope of this privacy policy.

• Processed data types: Master data (e.g., names, addresses); contact data (e.g., email, telephone numbers); content data (e.g., entries in online forms); usage data (e.g., visited websites, interest in content, access times); meta, communication, and procedural data (e.g., IP addresses, time information, identification numbers, consent status).
• Individuals affected: Users (e.g., website visitors, users of online services).
• Purposes of processing: Provision of contractual services and customer service; feedback (e.g., collection of feedback via online form); provision of our online offering and user-friendliness; security measures; administration and response to inquiries.
• Legal basis: Legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).

Further information on processing procedures, procedures, and services:

• Comments and posts: If users leave comments or other contributions, their IP addresses can be stored on the basis of our legitimate interests. This is done for our own security if someone leaves illegal content in comments and contributions (insults, prohibited political propaganda, etc.). In this case, we ourselves can be prosecuted for the comment or contribution and are therefore interested in the identity of the author. Furthermore, on the basis of our legitimate interests, we reserve the right to process the users’ information for the purpose of spam detection. On the same legal basis, we reserve the right to store users’ IP addresses and use cookies for the duration of surveys to prevent multiple votes. The information provided in the context of comments and contributions regarding the person, any contact and website information as well as the content-related information are stored by us permanently until the user objects; Legal basis: Legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).

 

Contact and inquiry management

When contacting us (e.g. by mail, contact form, e-mail, telephone or via social media) as well as in the context of existing user and business relationships, the information of the inquiring persons is processed to the extent necessary to respond to the contact requests and any requested measures.

• Processed data types: Contact data (e.g., email, telephone numbers); content data (e.g., inputs in online forms); usage data (e.g., visited websites, interest in content, access times); meta, communication, and procedural data (e.g., IP addresses, timestamps, identification numbers, consent status).
• Affected individuals: Communication partners.
• Purposes of processing: Contact inquiries and communication; management and response to inquiries; feedback (e.g., collecting feedback via online forms); provision of our online offerings and user-friendliness.
• Legal basis: Legitimate interests (Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR).

 

Newsletter and Electronic Notifications

We only send newsletters, emails, and other electronic notifications (hereinafter referred to as “Newsletter”) with the consent of the recipients or a legal permission. If the contents of the newsletter are specifically described during the registration process, they are decisive for the users’ consent. In addition, our newsletters contain information about our services and us.

To subscribe to our newsletters, it is generally sufficient to provide your email address. However, we may ask you to provide a name for personal address in the newsletter or additional information if it is necessary for the purposes of the newsletter.

Double Opt-In Procedure: The registration for our newsletter generally takes place in a so-called double opt-in procedure. This means that after registration, you will receive an email asking you to confirm your subscription. This confirmation is necessary to prevent anyone from registering with someone else’s email address. Newsletter registrations are logged in order to be able to provide evidence of the registration process in accordance with legal requirements. This includes storing the registration and confirmation times as well as the IP address. Changes to your data stored with the mailing service provider are also logged.

Deletion and Restriction of Processing: We may store unsubscribed email addresses for up to three years based on our legitimate interests before deleting them in order to be able to provide evidence of previously given consent. The processing of this data is limited to the purpose of possible defense against claims. An individual request for deletion is possible at any time, provided that the former existence of consent is confirmed. In the case of obligations to permanently observe objections, we reserve the right to store the email address solely for this purpose on a blocklist.

The logging of the registration procedure is based on our legitimate interests in order to prove its proper course. If we commission a service provider to send emails, this is done based on our legitimate interests in an efficient and secure delivery system.

Content:

Information about us, our services, promotions, and offers.

• Processed Data Types: Master data (e.g., names, addresses), contact data (e.g., email, phone numbers), meta, communication, and process data (e.g., IP addresses, time stamps, identification numbers, consent status), usage data (e.g., visited websites, interest in content, access times).
• Affected Persons: Communication partners.
• Purposes of Processing: Direct marketing (e.g., by email or postal mail).
• Legal Basis: Consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR).
• Opt-Out Option: You can unsubscribe from our newsletter at any time, i.e., revoke your consent or object to further receipt. You will find a link to unsubscribe from the newsletter either at the end of each newsletter or you can use one of the contact options provided above, preferably by email.

Further Notes on Processing Procedures, Procedures, and Services:

• Measurement of Opening and Click Rates: The newsletters contain a so-called web beacon, i.e., a pixel-sized file that is retrieved from our server or, if we use a mailing service provider, from their server when the newsletter is opened. As part of this retrieval, technical information such as information about the browser and your system, as well as your IP address and the time of retrieval, are initially collected. This information is used for the technical improvement of our newsletter based on the technical data or the target groups and their reading behavior, which is determined by the access locations (which can be determined based on the IP address) or the access times. This analysis also includes determining whether the newsletters are opened, when they are opened, and which links are clicked. This information is assigned to the individual newsletter recipients and stored in their profiles until they are deleted. The evaluations serve us to recognize the reading habits of our users and to adapt our content to them or to send different content according to the interests of our users. The measurement of the opening rates and click rates as well as the storage of the measurement results in the user profiles; Legal Basis: Consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR).

 

Web Analytics, Monitoring, and Optimization

Web analytics (also referred to as “reach measurement”) is used to evaluate the flow of visitors to our online offering and may include behavior, interests or demographic information about visitors, such as age or gender, as pseudonymous values. With the help of reach analysis, we can recognize, for example, at what time our online offer or its functions or content are most frequently used or invite re-use. Likewise, we can understand which areas need optimization.

In addition to web analytics, we may also use testing procedures, for example, to test and optimize different versions of our online offering or its components.

Unless otherwise stated below, profiles, i.e. data summarized for a usage process, can be created for these purposes and information can be stored in a browser or in a terminal device and read from it. The information collected includes, in particular, websites visited and elements used there, as well as technical information such as the browser used, the computer system used, and information on usage times. If users have agreed to the collection of their location data from us or from the providers of the services we use, location data may also be processed.

The IP addresses of the users are also stored. However, we use an IP masking procedure (i.e., pseudonymization by shortening the IP address) to protect users. Generally, in the context of web analysis, A/B testing and optimization, no clear data of the users (such as e-mail addresses or names) are stored, but pseudonyms. This means that we, as well as the providers of the software used, do not know the actual identity of the users, but only the information stored in their profiles for the purposes of the respective procedures.

• Types of processed data: Usage data (e.g., visited websites, interest in content, access times); meta, communication, and procedural data (e.g., IP addresses, timestamps, identification numbers, consent status).
• Individuals affected: Users (e.g., website visitors, users of online services).
• Purposes of processing: Reach measurement (e.g., access statistics, recognition of recurring visitors); profiles with user-related information (creation of user profiles).
• Security measures: IP masking (pseudonymization of IP address).

Affiliate Programs and Affiliate Links

We include so-called affiliate links or other references (which may include, for example, search masks, widgets or discount codes) to the offers and services of third-party providers in our online offer (collectively referred to as “affiliate links”). If users follow the Affiliate Links or subsequently take advantage of the offers, we may receive a commission or other benefits from those third parties (collectively, “Commission”).
In order to be able to track whether users have taken advantage of the offers of an affiliate link used by us, it is necessary that the respective third-party providers learn that the users have followed an affiliate link used within our online offer. The assignment of the affiliate links to the respective business transactions or to other actions (e.g. purchases) serves the sole purpose of commission accounting and will be cancelled as soon as it is no longer necessary for the purpose.
For the purposes of the aforementioned assignment of the affiliate links, the affiliate links may be supplemented by certain values that are a component of the link or may be stored elsewhere, e.g. in a cookie. The values may include, in particular, the source website (referrer), the time, an online identifier of the operators of the website on which the affiliate link was located, an online identifier of the respective offer, the type of link used, the type of offer and an online identifier of the user.

Notes on legal bases: If we ask users for their consent to use the third-party providers, the legal basis for processing data is consent. Otherwise, the users’ data is processed on the basis of our legitimate interests (i.e. interest in efficient, economic and recipient-friendly services). In this context, we would also like to refer you to the information on the use of cookies in this privacy policy.

• Processed data types: Contract data (e.g., contract object, duration, customer category); usage data (e.g., visited websites, interest in content, access times); meta, communication, and procedural data (e.g., IP addresses, timestamps, identification numbers, consent status).
• Affected individuals: Users (e.g., website visitors, users of online services).
• Purposes of processing: Affiliate tracking.
• Legal basis: Consent (Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR); Legitimate interests (Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR).

 

Presence in social networks (social media)

We maintain online presences within social networks and process user data in this context in order to communicate with users active there or to offer information about us.

We would like to point out that user data may be processed outside the European Union. This may result in risks for the users because, for example, it could make it more difficult to enforce the rights of the users.

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

For a detailed presentation of the respective forms of processing and the options to object (opt-out), we refer to the privacy statements and information provided by the operators of the respective networks.

In the case of requests for information and the assertion of data subject rights, we would also like to point out that these can be asserted most effectively with the providers. Only the providers have access to the users’ data and can take appropriate measures and provide information directly. If you still need help, you can contact us.

• Processed data types: Contact data (e.g., email, phone numbers); content data (e.g., inputs in online forms); usage data (e.g., visited websites, interest in content, access times); meta, communication, and procedural data (e.g., IP addresses, timestamps, identification numbers, consent status).
• Affected individuals: Users (e.g., website visitors, users of online services).
• Purposes of processing: Contact inquiries and communication; feedback (e.g., collecting feedback via online form); marketing.
• Legal basis: Legitimate interests (Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR).

Plugins and embedded functions as well as content

We integrate functional and content elements into our online offer that are obtained from the servers of their respective providers (hereinafter referred to as “third-party providers”). These can be, for example, graphics, videos or city maps (hereinafter uniformly referred to as “content”).

The integration always requires that the third-party providers of this content process the IP address of the user, since without the IP address they could not send the content to their browser. The IP address is thus required for the presentation of this content or functionality. We strive to use only such content whose respective providers use the IP address only for the delivery of the content. Third-party providers may also use so-called pixel tags (invisible graphics, also known as “web beacons”) for statistical or marketing purposes. The “pixel tags” can be used to analyze information such as visitor traffic on the pages of this website. The pseudonymous information may also be stored in cookies on the user’s device and may contain, among other things, technical information about the browser and operating system, referring websites, time of visit and other information about the use of our online offer as well as be linked to such information from other sources.

• Processed data types: Usage data (e.g., visited websites, interest in content, access times); meta, communication, and process data (e.g., IP addresses, timestamps, identification numbers, consent status); master data (e.g., names, addresses); contact data (e.g., email, telephone numbers); content data (e.g., inputs in online forms).
• Affected individuals: Users (e.g., website visitors, users of online services).
• Purposes of processing: Provision of our online offering and user-friendliness.
• Legal bases: Legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).
