Below we inform you about the collection of personal data when using our website.
This includes information and details such as your name, address or other postal addresses, your telephone number, your email address, or your user behavior.
2.2 Legal basis for the processing of personal data
Insofar as we obtain the consent of the data subject for processing operations involving personal data, Article 6(1)(a) of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) serves as the legal basis.
When processing personal data necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, Article 6(1)(b) GDPR serves as the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations necessary for carrying out pre-contractual measures.
Where the processing of personal data is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Article 6(1)(c) GDPR serves as the legal basis.
In the event that the processing of personal data is necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or of another natural person, Article 6(1)(d) GDPR serves as the legal basis.
If processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by our company or by a third party, and the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not override those interests, then Article 6(1)(f) GDPR serves as the legal basis for the processing.
The duration of the storage of personal data is based on the respective legal basis, the processing purpose and - if relevant - also based on the respective statutory retention period (e.g. commercial and tax retention periods).
When processing personal data on the basis of an express consent in accordance with Article 6 Paragraph 1 lit. a GDPR, this data is stored until the person concerned revokes his consent.
If there are statutory retention periods for data that are processed as part of legal or similar obligations on the basis of Article 6 (1) (b) GDPR, this data will be routinely deleted after the retention period has expired, provided that it is no longer required to fulfill or initiate a contract and/or we have no legitimate interest in further storage.
When personal data is processed on the basis of Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR, this data is stored until the data subject exercises his or her right to object under Article 21 (1) GDPR, unless we can provide compelling reasons worthy of protection for processing that outweigh the interests, rights and freedoms of the data subject, or the processing serves to assert, exercise or defend legal claims.
When processing personal data for the purpose of direct advertising on the basis of Article 6 Paragraph 1 lit. f GDPR, this data is stored until the data subject exercises his right of objection under Article 21 Paragraph 2 GDPR.
Unless otherwise stated in the other information in this declaration on specific processing situations, stored personal data will be deleted when they are no longer necessary for the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed.
You have the following rights towards us with regard to your personal data:
- Right to information,
- Right to rectification or erasure,
- Right to restriction of processing,
- Right to information,
- Right to data portability,
- Right to revoke consents given,
- Right to appeal,
- Right to object to processing.
You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority regarding our processing of your personal data.

On our website, individual web pages can also be viewed asAccelerated Mobile Pages – AMPThis may be because the AMP version is designed differently. If you access one of these websites, for example after a Google search on your smartphone, this AMP may not be delivered from our servers, but directly from the cache of third-party providers such as Google. In these cases, the address bar of your browser will not display our domain name (our web address) at the second-level domain level, but rather, for example, the domain name of Google or "ampproject.org". We have no control over the data processing carried out by Google or other third-party providers in such cases. We take care to ensure that we do not collect any personal data via our AMP version and have therefore deactivated all contact forms.

- Use of the Scalable Central Measurement Method (SZM)
Our website may use the measurement method (“SZMnG”) of INFOnline GmbH (https://www.infonline.deWe use this information to determine statistical metrics about the use of our services. The aim of this reach measurement is to statistically determine usage intensity, the number of users of a website, and browsing behavior – based on a standardized procedure – and thus obtain values that are comparable across the market.
For websites that are members of the Information Community for Determining the Distribution of Advertising Media e. V. (IVW – http://www.ivw.eu) are or participate in the studies of the Working Group for Online Research (AGOF – ). http://www.agof.de) participating, the usage statistics are regularly compiled by AGOF and the Arbeitsgemeinschaft Media-Analyse e. V. (agma – http://www.agma-mmc.de), as well as the IVW, and can be viewed on their respective websites.
INFOnline GmbH collects and processes data in accordance with German data protection law. Technical and organizational measures ensure that individual users cannot be identified at any time. Data that could potentially be linked to a specific, identifiable person is anonymized as soon as possible.
17.2 Anonymization of the IP address
On the internet, every device needs a unique address, the so-called IP address, to transmit data. The temporary storage of the IP address is technically necessary due to the way the internet functions.
The IP addresses are shortened before any processing and only processed further in anonymized form. The unshortened IP addresses are neither stored nor processed.
17.3 Geolocation down to the level of federal states/regions
So-called geolocation, i.e., the assignment of a website visit to the location of the visit, is based solely on the anonymized IP address and only down to the geographical level of federal states/regions. Under no circumstances can the geographical information obtained in this way be used to infer the specific residence of a user.
17.4 Device identification number
The audience measurement uses either a cookie with the identifier "ioam.de", a "Local Storage Object", or an anonymous signature created from various automatically transmitted information from your browser to recognize computer systems. The cookie's validity is limited to a maximum of one year.
To measure distributed usage (use of a service from different devices), the user ID at login, if available, can be transmitted to INFOnline as an anonymized checksum.
The stored usage data will be deleted after a maximum of 7 months.
If you do not wish to participate in the measurement, you can opt out via the following link: http://optout.ioam.de
Further information on data protection in the measurement process can be found on the website of INFOnline GmbH (https://www.infonline.de), which operates the measurement procedure, the data protection website of AGOF (http://www.agof.de/datenschutz) and the IVW data protection website (http://www.ivw.eu).
We can use the SZM procedure to analyze and regularly improve the use of our website. The statistics we gather allow us to improve our services and make them more interesting for you as a user. The legal basis for using the SZM procedure is Art.6Abs.1SArticle 6(1)(f) GDPR
Our website may use the following social media plugins: Instagram, Facebook, Google+, Twitter, Xing, T3N, LinkedIn, and Flattr. We use the so-called two-click solution. This means that when you visit our site, no personal data is initially transmitted to the plugin providers. You can identify the plugin provider by the marking on the box above its initial letter or logo. We offer you the option to communicate directly with the plugin provider via the button. Only when you click on the marked field and thereby activate it will the plugin provider receive the information that you have accessed the corresponding page of our website. In addition, the data mentioned in section 5 of this privacy policy will be transmitted. According to the respective providers, in the case of Facebook and Xing, the IP address is anonymized immediately after collection in Germany. By activating the plug-in, your personal data will be transmitted to the respective plug-in provider and stored there (in the USA for US-based providers). Since the plug-in provider collects data primarily via cookies, we recommend that you delete all cookies via your browser's security settings before clicking on the grayed-out box.
We have no influence over the data collected or the data processing operations, nor are we aware of the full extent of the data collection, the purposes of the processing, or the storage periods. We also have no information regarding the deletion of the collected data by the plug-in provider.
The plug-in provider stores the data collected about you as user profiles and uses them for advertising, market research, and/or to tailor its website to user needs. This analysis is carried out in particular (even for users who are not logged in) to display targeted advertising and to inform other users of the social network about your activities on our website.
You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles, and to exercise this right, you must contact the respective plug-in provider. The plug-ins allow you to interact with social networks and other users, enabling us to improve our services and make them more interesting for you. The legal basis for the use of the plug-ins is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR.61 SArticle 6(1)(f) GDPR.
Data is transferred regardless of whether you have an account with the plug-in provider and are logged in. If you are logged in to the plug-in provider, the data we collect is directly associated with your existing account with that provider. If you click the activated button and, for example, share the page, the plug-in provider also saves this information in your user account and shares it publicly with your contacts. We recommend that you regularly log out of social networks after use, and especially before activating the button, as this will prevent the data from being associated with your profile on the plug-in provider's platform.
Further information on the purpose and scope of data collection and processing by the plug-in provider can be found in the privacy policies of these providers, which are linked below. There you will also find further information on your rights and settings options to protect your privacy.

- Use of Google Adwords Conversion
We can use Google Adwords to draw attention to our attractive offers on external websites using advertising materials (so-called Google Adwords).
We can use the data from advertising campaigns to determine the success of individual advertising measures. Our aim is to show you advertising that is relevant to you, to make our website more interesting for you, and to ensure fair billing of advertising costs.
These advertisements are delivered by Google via so-called "ad servers." We use ad server cookies for this purpose, which allow us to measure certain parameters for success, such as ad impressions or user clicks. If you access our website via a Google ad, Google AdWords will store a cookie on your computer. These cookies typically expire after 30 days and are not intended to personally identify you.
This cookie typically stores the following analysis values: the unique cookie ID, number of ad impressions per placement (frequency), last impression (relevant for post-view conversions), and opt-out information (indicating that the user no longer wishes to be targeted).
These cookies allow Google to recognize your internet browser. If a user visits certain pages of an AdWords customer's website and the cookie stored on their computer has not yet expired, Google and the customer can recognize that the user clicked on the ad and was redirected to that page.
Each AdWords customer is assigned a different cookie. Therefore, cookies cannot be tracked across the websites of different AdWords customers. We ourselves do not collect or process any personal data in the aforementioned advertising measures. We only receive statistical analyses from Google. These analyses allow us to identify which of the advertising measures used are particularly effective. We do not receive any further data from the use of these advertising tools, and in particular, we cannot identify users based on this information.
Due to the marketing tools used, your browser automatically establishes a direct connection to Google's server. We have no control over the scope and further use of the data collected by Google through the use of this tool and are therefore informing you to the best of our knowledge:
By integrating AdWords Conversion, Google receives information that you have accessed the relevant part of our website or clicked on one of our ads. If you are registered with a Google service, Google can associate your visit with your account. Even if you are not registered with Google or are not logged in, it is possible that the provider will learn and store your IP address.
You can prevent participation in this tracking process in several ways: a) by adjusting your browser settings accordingly; in particular, blocking third-party cookies will prevent you from receiving ads from third-party providers; b) by disabling conversion tracking cookies by configuring your browser to block cookies from googleadservices.com. https://www.google.de/settings/ads, These settings will be deleted if you delete your cookies; c) by deactivating interest-based ads from providers participating in the self-regulatory campaign "About Ads" via the link http://www.aboutads.info/choices, This setting will be deleted if you delete your cookies; d) by permanently disabling it in your Firefox, Internet Explorer or Google Chrome browser via the link https://support.google.com/ads/answer/7395996.

- Remarketing
In addition to AdWords Conversion, we may use Google Remarketing. This is a method we use to re-engage with you. Through this application, our advertisements can be displayed to you during your subsequent internet browsing after you have visited our website. This is done using cookies stored in your browser, which Google uses to record and analyze your browsing behavior across various websites. This allows Google to recognize your previous visit to our website.
According to Google, the data collected for remarketing purposes is not combined with any personal data that Google may have stored about you. In particular, Google states that pseudonymization is used in remarketing.
This website may also contain the online marketing tool DoubleClick by Google. DoubleClick uses cookies to display relevant ads to users, improve campaign performance reports, and prevent users from seeing the same ads multiple times. Using a cookie ID, Google records which ads are displayed in which browser and can thus prevent them from being shown repeatedly. Furthermore, DoubleClick can use cookie IDs to track conversions related to ad requests. This occurs, for example, when a user sees a DoubleClick ad and later visits the advertiser's website using the same browser and makes a purchase. According to Google, DoubleClick cookies do not contain any personally identifiable information.
Due to the marketing tools used, your browser automatically establishes a direct connection to Google's server. We have no control over the scope and further use of the data collected by Google through the use of this tool and therefore inform you to the best of our knowledge: By integrating DoubleClick, Google receives the information that you have accessed the corresponding part of our website or clicked on one of our ads. If you are registered with a Google service, Google can associate your visit with your account. Even if you are not registered with Google or are not logged in, it is possible that the provider will learn and store your IP address.
You can prevent participation in this tracking process in a number of ways:
by setting your browser software accordingly, in particular the suppression of third-party cookies means that you will not receive any advertisements from third-party providers;
by disabling cookies for conversion tracking by configuring your browser to block cookies from googleadservices.com, https://adssettings.google.de/anonymous?hl=de, This setting will be deleted if you delete your cookies;
by deactivating interest-based ads from providers that are part of the self-regulatory campaign "About Ads" via the link http://www.aboutads.info/choices, This setting will be deleted if you delete your cookies; you can permanently disable it in your Firefox, Internet Explorer or Google Chrome browser via the link https://support.google.com/ads/answer/7395996.
