On our website, we use the functions of the web analysis service Google Analytics to analyze user behavior and to optimize our website. The reports provided by Google are used to analyze the performance of our website and to measure the success of possible campaigns via our website.

Google Analytics uses cookies that enable an analysis of the use of our website.

Information about the use of the website such as browser type/version, operating system used, the previously visited page, host name of the accessing computer (IP address), time of server request are usually transmitted to a Google server and stored there. We have concluded a contract with Google for this purpose.

On our behalf, Google will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of our website, compiling reports on website activity for website operators and providing other services relating to website activity and internet usage. According to Google, the IP address transmitted by your browser is not merged with other data from Google. 

We only use Google Analytics with IP anonymization activated by default. This means that the IP address of a user is shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transferred to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. According to Google, the IP address transmitted by a user's browser within the scope of Google Analytics is not linked to other Google data. 

During the website visit, the user behaviour is recorded in the form of so-called events. These can represent the following:

  • Page views, the click path of a user.
  • first visit to our website
  • visited websites
  • start of a session
  • interaction with our website
  • user behavior (for example, clicks, scrolls, dwell time, bounce rates)
  • file downloads
  • ads seen / clicked
  • interaction with videos
  • internal search queries

furthermore, the following is recorded:

  • approximate location (region)
  • date and time of visit
  • IP address (in shortened form)
  • technical information about the browser or the end devices used (e.g. language setting, screen resolution)
  • Internet service provider
  • Referrer URL (via which website/advertising medium a user came to our website).

The processing of this data is essentially done by Google for its own purposes such as profiling (without our ability to influence).

The data about the use of our website is deleted immediately after the end of the retention period set by us in each case. Google Analytics gives us a default of 2 months for the retention period of user and event data, with a maximum retention period of 14 months. This retention period also applies to conversion data. For all other event data, the following options are available: 2 months, 14 months, 26 months (Google Analytics 360 only), 38 months (Google Analytics 360 only), 50 months (Google Analytics 360 only). We will choose the shortest storage period that corresponds to our intended use. You can ask us at any time for the retention period currently set by us.

The deletion of data whose retention period has been reached takes place automatically once a month.

Google Fonts

Provider: Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, parent company Google LLC (USA), https://www.dataprivacyframework.gov/s/participant-search/participant-detail?id=a2zt000000001L5AAI&status=Active

To display fonts consistently, our website uses Web Fonts which are provided by Google. 

To display web fonts, the web browser you use must connect with a Google server. This informs Google that our website is being accessed via your IP address. The IP address from the browser of the device you are using to access our site is also stored by Google. If your browser does not support Web Fonts, your device will display the site using a standard font type. With each Google Font request, your IP address is automatically transferred to a Google server along with information such as your language preferences, display resolution, version and name of your browser. The usage data collected by Google enables them to determine the popularity of specific font types. Google publishes these findings on internal analytics sites (e.g. Google Analytics).

Google Fonts enables us to use fonts on our own website without uploading them to our server. Google Fonts is an important building block for maintaining the high quality of our website. All Google fonts are automatically optimized for the web. This reduces the data volume and is particularly advantageous for use on mobile devices. When you visit our site, the low file size allows for quicker loading times. Furthermore, Google Fonts are secure Web Fonts that support all major browsers.  

Google stores requests for CSS assets for one day on its servers. This enables us to use the fonts with the support of a Google style sheet. The font files are stored by Google for one year. To delete data prematurely, you must contact Google Support ( https://support.google.com ).

On our website, the service Google Maps is integrated in order to better display geographical information about locations for users. 

Google Maps is an online map service with which geographic information can be made more legible via a terminal device. Among other things, directions are displayed or map sections of a location can be integrated into a website. 

When Google Maps is called up, the browser establishes a connection to Google's servers. This enables Google to know that our website has been accessed via the user's IP address. The use of Google Maps enables Google to collect and process data about the use of the service.

For the provision of this service, Google Maps processes, among other things, entered search terms as well as latitude and longitude coordinates on the basis of the IP address. If the route planner function of Google Maps is used, the entered starting address is also stored. This data processing is carried out exclusively by Google and is not within our sphere of influence.

We would like to point out that a cookie called "NID" is set by Google when running this service. Google Maps does not currently offer us the option to run this service in a mode without this cookie. The NID cookie contains information about your user behavior, which Google uses to optimize its own services and to provide individual, personalized advertising for you.

Google anonymizes data in server logs by deleting a portion of the IP address and cookie information after 9 and 18 months, respectively.

Location and activity data is stored for either 3 or 18 months and then deleted. Users can also manually clear history at any time via a Google account. To completely prevent location tracking, a user must turn off the "Web and App Activity" section in their Google account.

On this website, the Google Ads service is used for the purpose of advertising our products and services.  Google Ads is Google's in-house online advertising system. 

It is important for us to know whether an interested visitor ultimately becomes our customer. To be able to measure this, there is the so-called conversion tracking. Furthermore, we would like to be able to address visitors to our website again and in a targeted manner. We achieve this through so-called remarketing (retargeting).

Google Ads serves both conversion tracking and remarketing, i.e. we can see what happened after you clicked on one of our ads. In order for this service to work, cookies are used and visitors are sometimes included in remarketing lists in order to be served only with certain advertising campaigns.

This is done by means of a pseudonymous identification number (pID), which the browser of a user receives and is assigned to him. This pID enables the service to recognize which ads have already been displayed to a user and which have been called up. The data is used to serve ads across websites by enabling Google to identify the pages visited by the user. 

Our goal is that the offer of our website through the use of Google Ads targeted to those visitors who are actually interested in our offer. The data from conversion tracking allows us to measure the benefit of individual advertising measures and optimize our website for our visitors. Conversion can be measured through the use of cookies.

The information generated is transferred by Google to a server in the U.S. for evaluation and stored there. A transfer of data by Google to third parties only takes place due to legal regulations or in the context of commissioned data processing. Under no circumstances will Google link data of a user with other data collected by Google.

On our website, the Google reCAPTCHA service is used to protect against abuse by non-human visitors (bots) and to prevent spam.

When reCAPTCHA is started, the browser establishes a connection to Google's servers. This enables Google to know that our website has been accessed via a user's IP address.

The purpose of reCAPTCHA is to verify whether the data entry on our website is made by a human or by an automated program. For this purpose, reCAPTCHA analyzes the user's behavior based on various characteristics. This analysis begins automatically as soon as the user starts our website. For the analysis, reCAPTCHA evaluates various information.

According to our information, the following data is processed by Google:

  • the address of the page from which the visitor comes
  • IP address
  • Information about the operating system
  • Cookies
  • Mouse and keyboard behavior
  • Date and language settings
  • All Java-Script Objects
  • Screen resolution

The data collected during the analysis is forwarded to and used by Google. The reCAPTCHA analyses run entirely in the background.

Cookies are used for the processing of the service.  These cookies require a unique identifier for tracking purposes. According to Google, the IP address is not merged with other data from other Google services, unless a user is logged into his Google account while using the reCAPTCHA plug-in. Furthermore, reCAPTCHA also uses the local storage on the user's device to store data.

Google Tag Manager

Provider: Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, Parent company: Google LLC (USA)
Purpose: Launching Tools and Plugins
Category: Technically Required
Recipients: EU, USA (possible)
Data processed: IP Address
Data subjects: User
Technology: JavaScript Call
Legal basis: legitimate interest, Data Privacy Framework, https://www.dataprivacyframework.gov/s/participant-search/participant-detail?id=a2zt000000001L5AAI&status=Active

Here you can find out where exactly Google data centers are located: https://www.google.com/about/datacenters/locations/

The Google Tag Manager service is used on our website.

The Tag Manager is a service that allows us to manage website tags via an interface. This allows us to include code snippets such as tracking codes or conversion pixels on websites without interfering with the source code. In doing so, the data is only forwarded by the Tag Manager, but neither collected nor stored. The Tag Manager itself is a cookie-less domain and does not process any personal data, as it serves purely to manage other services in our online offering. 

When the Google Tag Manager is started, the browser establishes a connection to Google's servers.  These are mainly located in the U.S. Through this, Google obtains knowledge that our website was called up via the IP address of a user. 

The Tag Manager ensures the resolution of other tags, which in turn may collect data. However, the Tag Manager does not access this data. If a deactivation has been made at the domain or cookie level, this remains in place for all tracking tags that are implemented with the Tag Manager.

Hosting

In the process of hosting our website, we store all data related to the operation of our website. This is necessary for enabling operation of our website. Therefore, we process this data on the legal grounds of our legitimate interest in optimising our website. To provide access to our website, we use the services of web hosting providers, to whom we supply the aforementioned data within the context of contractual processing.

Contact

Whenever you contact us, your information is used to process and handle your contact request in the course of fulfilling pre-contractual rights and obligations. To handle and answer your request it is necessary for us to process your data; otherwise we are unable to answer your request or only able to partially answer it. Your information can be stored in a database of customers and leads on the grounds of our legitimate interest in direct marketing.

We delete your request and contact information when your request has been definitively answered and there is no legally required time limit for storing this data prior to deletion (e.g. pursuant to a subsequent contractual relationship). This is usually the case when there is no further contact with you for three years in a row.

Legal basis: Consent, Data Privacy Framework, https://www.dataprivacyframework.gov/s/participant-search/participant-detail?id=a2zt0000000GnywAAC&status=Active
Website: www.facebook.com
Further information: https://en-gb.facebook.com/privacy/policy https://en-gb.facebook.com/business/help/742478679120153

On our website, the service Meta-Pixel of the social network Facebook is used for the analysis, optimization and economic operation of our online offer.

With the help of Meta-Pixel, it is possible for Meta, on the one hand, to determine the visitors to our website as a target group for the display of personalized ads. Accordingly, we use Meta-Pixel to display the ads placed by us only to users who have also shown an interest in our online offering or who have certain characteristics (e.g. interests in certain topics or products determined on the basis of the websites visited) that we transmit to Meta (so-called "Custom Audiences"). With the help of Meta-Pixel, we also want to ensure that our Meta Ads correspond to the potential interest of users and do not have a harassing effect. With the help of Meta-Pixel, we can, on the other hand, track the effectiveness of Meta Ads for statistical and market research purposes by seeing whether users were redirected to our website after clicking on a Meta Ad (so-called "conversion").

Your actions are stored in one or more cookies in the process. These cookies allow Meta to match your user data (such as IP address, user ID) with your Facebook account data. The collected data is anonymous and not visible to us and can only be used in the context of advertisements. You can prevent the linking with your Facebook account by logging out before you take any action. 

To set which types of ads are displayed to you within Facebook, you can visit the page set up by Meta and follow the instructions there for the settings of usage-based advertising: https://www.facebook.com/settings?tab=ads

The settings are done in a platform-independent manner, which means that they are applied to all devices, such as desktop computers or mobile devices.

Server Log Files

For technical reasons, particularly to ensure a functioning and secure website, we process the technically necessary data about accesses to our website in so-called server log files which your browser automatically sends to us. 

The access data we process includes:

  • The name of the website you are accessing  
  • The browser type (including version) you use
  • The operating system you use
  • The site you visited before  accessing our site (referrer URL)
  • The time of your server request
  • The amount of data transferred
  • The host name of computer (IP address) you are using to access the site

This data cannot be traced back to any natural person and is used solely to perform statistical analyses and to operate and improve our website while also optimising our site and keeping it secure. This data is sent exclusively to our website operator. The data is neither connected nor aggregated with other data sources. In case of suspicion of unlawful use of our website, we reserve the right to examine the data retroactively. This data processing takes place on the legal grounds of our legitimate interest in maintaining a technically fault-free and optimal website.

The access data is deleted within a short period of time after serving its purpose (usually within a few days) unless further storage is required for evidence purposes. In such cases, the data is stored until the incident is definitively resolved.

SSL Encryption

Within your visit to our website, we use the widespread SSL procedure (Secure Socket Layer) in conjunction with the highest level of encryption supported by your browser. You can tell whether an individual page of our website is transmitted in encrypted form by the closed representation of the key or lock symbol in the lower status bar of your browser. We use this encryption procedure on the basis of our justified interest in the use of suitable encryption techniques.

We also make use of suitable technical and organisational security measures to protect your data against accidental or intentional manipulation, partial or complete loss, destruction or against unauthorised access by third parties. Our security measures are continuously improved in line with technological developments and kept state-of-the-art.

TikTok Pixel

On our website, we use the so-called TikTok pixel of the social network TikTok, which is operated by TikTok Technology Limited, 10 Earlsfort Terrace, Dublin, D02 T380, Ireland ("TikTok"). The parent company of TikTok is based in China.

ATTENTION: Within the scope of this service, data transfer to China takes place or cannot be ruled out.

With the help of the TikTok pixel, it is possible for TikTok, on the one hand, to determine you as a visitor to our online offer as a target group for the display of advertisements (so-called "TikTok ads"). Accordingly, we use the TikTok pixel to display the TikTok ads placed by us only to those TikTok users who have also shown an interest in our online offer or who have certain characteristics (e.g. interests in certain topics or products determined on the basis of the websites visited) that we transmit to TikTok (so-called "Custom Audiences"). 

With the help of the TikTok pixel, we also want to ensure that our TikTok ads correspond to the potential interest of users and are not harassing. The TikTok pixel also allows us to track the effectiveness of the TikTok ads for statistical and market research purposes by seeing whether users have been redirected to our website after clicking on a TikTok ad (so-called "conversion").

The processing of the data by TikTok takes place within the framework of the data use policy at https://www.tiktok.com/legal/privacy-policy?lang=en of TikTok. 

Specific information and details about the TikTok Pixel and how it works can be found in the TikTok help section at https://support.tiktok.com/en

The use of the TikTok pixel as well as the storage of "conversion cookies" is based on your consent according to Art. 6 paragraph 1 lit. a GDPR. You can revoke this consent at any time.

For the processing of data for which TikTok acts as a data processor, we have concluded a data processing agreement with TikTok in which we oblige TikTok to protect our customers' data and not to pass it on to third parties.

We would like to point out that a cookie called "NID" is set by Google when running this service. Google Maps does not currently offer us the option to run this service in a mode without this cookie. The NID cookie contains information about your user behavior, which Google uses to optimize its own services and to provide individual, personalized advertising for you.

Google anonymizes data in server logs by deleting a portion of the IP address and cookie information after 9 and 18 months, respectively.

Location and activity data is stored for either 3 or 18 months and then deleted. Users can also manually clear history at any time via a Google account. To completely prevent location tracking, a user must turn off the "Web and App Activity" section in their Google account.

On this website, the Google Ads service is used for the purpose of advertising our products and services.  Google Ads is Google's in-house online advertising system. 

It is important for us to know whether an interested visitor ultimately becomes our customer. To be able to measure this, there is the so-called conversion tracking. Furthermore, we would like to be able to address visitors to our website again and in a targeted manner. We achieve this through so-called remarketing (retargeting).

Google Ads serves both conversion tracking and remarketing, i.e. we can see what happened after you clicked on one of our ads. In order for this service to work, cookies are used and visitors are sometimes included in remarketing lists in order to be served only with certain advertising campaigns.

This is done by means of a pseudonymous identification number (pID), which the browser of a user receives and is assigned to him. This pID enables the service to recognize which ads have already been displayed to a user and which have been called up. The data is used to serve ads across websites by enabling Google to identify the pages visited by the user. 

Our goal is that the offer of our website through the use of Google Ads targeted to those visitors who are actually interested in our offer. The data from conversion tracking allows us to measure the benefit of individual advertising measures and optimize our website for our visitors. Conversion can be measured through the use of cookies.

The information generated is transferred by Google to a server in the U.S. for evaluation and stored there. A transfer of data by Google to third parties only takes place due to legal regulations or in the context of commissioned data processing. Under no circumstances will Google link data of a user with other data collected by Google.

On our website, the Google reCAPTCHA service is used to protect against abuse by non-human visitors (bots) and to prevent spam.

When reCAPTCHA is started, the browser establishes a connection to Google's servers. This enables Google to know that our website has been accessed via a user's IP address.

The purpose of reCAPTCHA is to verify whether the data entry on our website is made by a human or by an automated program. For this purpose, reCAPTCHA analyzes the user's behavior based on various characteristics. This analysis begins automatically as soon as the user starts our website. For the analysis, reCAPTCHA evaluates various information.

According to our information, the following data is processed by Google:

  • the address of the page from which the visitor comes
  • IP address
  • Information about the operating system
  • Cookies
  • Mouse and keyboard behavior
  • Date and language settings
  • All Java-Script Objects
  • Screen resolution

The data collected during the analysis is forwarded to and used by Google. The reCAPTCHA analyses run entirely in the background.

Cookies are used for the processing of the service.  These cookies require a unique identifier for tracking purposes. According to Google, the IP address is not merged with other data from other Google services, unless a user is logged into his Google account while using the reCAPTCHA plug-in. Furthermore, reCAPTCHA also uses the local storage on the user's device to store data.

Google Tag Manager

The Google Tag Manager service is used on our website.

The Tag Manager is a service that allows us to manage website tags via an interface. This allows us to include code snippets such as tracking codes or conversion pixels on websites without interfering with the source code. In doing so, the data is only forwarded by the Tag Manager, but neither collected nor stored. The Tag Manager itself is a cookie-less domain and does not process any personal data, as it serves purely to manage other services in our online offering. 

When the Google Tag Manager is started, the browser establishes a connection to Google's servers.  These are mainly located in the U.S. Through this, Google obtains knowledge that our website was called up via the IP address of a user. 

The Tag Manager ensures the resolution of other tags, which in turn may collect data. However, the Tag Manager does not access this data. If a deactivation has been made at the domain or cookie level, this remains in place for all tracking tags that are implemented with the Tag Manager.

Purpose: Web Analysis, Tracking (Conversion)
Category: Marketing
Recipients: EU, USA
Data processed: IP Address, User Data, Website Visit Details
Data subjects: Users
Technology: JavaScript Call, Cookies
Legal basis: Consent, Data Privacy Framework, https://www.dataprivacyframework.gov/s/participant-search/participant-detail?id=a2zt0000000GnywAAC&status=Active
Website: www.facebook.com
Further information: https://en-gb.facebook.com/privacy/policy https://en-gb.facebook.com/business/help/742478679120153

On our website, the service Meta-Pixel of the social network Facebook is used for the analysis, optimization and economic operation of our online offer.

With the help of Meta-Pixel, it is possible for Meta, on the one hand, to determine the visitors to our website as a target group for the display of personalized ads. Accordingly, we use Meta-Pixel to display the ads placed by us only to users who have also shown an interest in our online offering or who have certain characteristics (e.g. interests in certain topics or products determined on the basis of the websites visited) that we transmit to Meta (so-called "Custom Audiences"). With the help of Meta-Pixel, we also want to ensure that our Meta Ads correspond to the potential interest of users and do not have a harassing effect. With the help of Meta-Pixel, we can, on the other hand, track the effectiveness of Meta Ads for statistical and market research purposes by seeing whether users were redirected to our website after clicking on a Meta Ad (so-called "conversion").

Your actions are stored in one or more cookies in the process. These cookies allow Meta to match your user data (such as IP address, user ID) with your Facebook account data. The collected data is anonymous and not visible to us and can only be used in the context of advertisements. You can prevent the linking with your Facebook account by logging out before you take any action. 

To set which types of ads are displayed to you within Facebook, you can visit the page set up by Meta and follow the instructions there for the settings of usage-based advertising: https://www.facebook.com/settings?tab=ads

The settings are done in a platform-independent manner, which means that they are applied to all devices, such as desktop computers or mobile devices.

Server Log Files

For technical reasons, particularly to ensure a functioning and secure website, we process the technically necessary data about accesses to our website in so-called server log files which your browser automatically sends to us. 

The access data we process includes:

  • The name of the website you are accessing  
  • The browser type (including version) you use
  • The operating system you use
  • The site you visited before  accessing our site (referrer URL)
  • The time of your server request
  • The amount of data transferred
  • The host name of computer (IP address) you are using to access the site

This data cannot be traced back to any natural person and is used solely to perform statistical analyses and to operate and improve our website while also optimising our site and keeping it secure. This data is sent exclusively to our website operator. The data is neither connected nor aggregated with other data sources. In case of suspicion of unlawful use of our website, we reserve the right to examine the data retroactively. This data processing takes place on the legal grounds of our legitimate interest in maintaining a technically fault-free and optimal website.

The access data is deleted within a short period of time after serving its purpose (usually within a few days) unless further storage is required for evidence purposes. In such cases, the data is stored until the incident is definitively resolved.

SSL Encryption

Within your visit to our website, we use the widespread SSL procedure (Secure Socket Layer) in conjunction with the highest level of encryption supported by your browser. You can tell whether an individual page of our website is transmitted in encrypted form by the closed representation of the key or lock symbol in the lower status bar of your browser. We use this encryption procedure on the basis of our justified interest in the use of suitable encryption techniques.

We also make use of suitable technical and organisational security measures to protect your data against accidental or intentional manipulation, partial or complete loss, destruction or against unauthorised access by third parties. Our security measures are continuously improved in line with technological developments and kept state-of-the-art.

TikTok Pixel

On our website, we use the so-called TikTok pixel of the social network TikTok, which is operated by TikTok Technology Limited, 10 Earlsfort Terrace, Dublin, D02 T380, Ireland ("TikTok"). The parent company of TikTok is based in China.

ATTENTION: Within the scope of this service, data transfer to China takes place or cannot be ruled out.

With the help of the TikTok pixel, it is possible for TikTok, on the one hand, to determine you as a visitor to our online offer as a target group for the display of advertisements (so-called "TikTok ads"). Accordingly, we use the TikTok pixel to display the TikTok ads placed by us only to those TikTok users who have also shown an interest in our online offer or who have certain characteristics (e.g. interests in certain topics or products determined on the basis of the websites visited) that we transmit to TikTok (so-called "Custom Audiences"). 

With the help of the TikTok pixel, we also want to ensure that our TikTok ads correspond to the potential interest of users and are not harassing. The TikTok pixel also allows us to track the effectiveness of the TikTok ads for statistical and market research purposes by seeing whether users have been redirected to our website after clicking on a TikTok ad (so-called "conversion").

The processing of the data by TikTok takes place within the framework of the data use policy at https://www.tiktok.com/legal/privacy-policy?lang=en of TikTok. 

Specific information and details about the TikTok Pixel and how it works can be found in the TikTok help section at https://support.tiktok.com/en

The use of the TikTok pixel as well as the storage of "conversion cookies" is based on your consent according to Art. 6 paragraph 1 lit. a GDPR. You can revoke this consent at any time.

For the processing of data for which TikTok acts as a data processor, we have concluded a data processing agreement with TikTok in which we oblige TikTok to protect our customers' data and not to pass it on to third parties.
