In addition, the data is evaluated in anonymized and aggregated form (i.e. conclusions about individual users are not possible), statistically in the interest of system security, the technical administration of the network infrastructure and to optimize our website.

3.1 Google Analytics

On our website, we use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google LLC. (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA, “Google”). Google Analytics allows us to compile statistics that help us understand website traffic and its sources. We use Google Analytics solely for statistical purposes, such as tracking how many users clicked on a particular element or piece of information. As a company based in Germany, our legal basis is Art. 6 (1) lit. f DSGVO in conjunction with Section 15 (3) of the German Telemedia Act (TMG). The retention period of the cookie is 2 years. Google Analytics is based on cookies and collects information about your use of our website, including your IP address. To prevent users from being identified by their IP addresses, we use a special code that ensures that your IP address is only recorded in shortened and thus anonymized form. It is no longer possible to identify individual users with this shortened IP address.

As a company based in Germany, our legal basis is Art. 6 (1) lit. f DSGVO in conjunction with Section 15 (3) TMG. The retention period for the cookie is 2 years.

We use Google AdWords and Google AdWords Conversion by Google to measure the effectiveness of individual ads, offers and features. A cookie is set as soon as you click on a Google ad. This cookie is not used for personal identification, but allows us to determine whether you return to the website with the specific offer within the cookie’s validity of 30 days. The information obtained through the conversion cookie is used to create conversion statistics for AdWords customers who have opted in to conversion tracking. We receive information about the total number of users who clicked on an ad and were redirected to a website with a conversion tracking tag. As a company based in Germany, our legal basis is Art. 6 (1) lit. f DSGVO in conjunction with Section 15 (3) TMG. For more information on data processing by Google and how you can deactivate the respective processing, please refer to the section “General information on processing by Google” above.

3.4 Google Tag Manager

On our website, we use Google Tag Manager from Google, which is used to trigger tags that we manage through an interface. The Tag Manager tool itself (which implements the tags) works without the use of cookies and does not collect any personal data. However, the tool triggers other tags that may collect personal data. Google Tag Manager does not access such data. As a company based in Germany, our legal basis is Art. 6 (1) lit. f DSGVO in conjunction with Section 15 (3) TMG. If a deactivation has been made at domain or cookie level, this remains effective for all tracking tags implemented with Google Tag Manager.

3.5 DoubleClick

DoubleClick is a service provided by Google. DoubleClick uses cookies to display advertisements that may be relevant to you. A pseudonymous identification number is assigned to your browser to verify which ads were displayed to you and which ads were viewed.

As a company based in Germany, our legal basis is Art. 6 (1) lit. f DSGVO in conjunction with Section 15 (3) TMG.

3.6 Dynamic Remarketing by Google

Google Dynamic Remarketing is a service provided by Google. Our website uses a pixel that connects to Google servers. The information transmitted to Google includes, for example, that you have visited our website. Google associates this information with an ID that is stored in the form of a cookie on your device or provided by your device. If you visit other websites that also use Google Dynamic Remarketing, this information is linked to your pseudonymous ID. As a company based in Germany, our legal basis is Art. 6 (1) lit. f DSGVO in conjunction with Section 15 (3) TMG. However, it is not clear to us which other websites you visit. We may also provide our websites with so-called “re-marketing tags”. This means that we include keywords on our website that contain statements about the content of the displayed page (e.g. product or service categories). The keywords we use do not contain any personally identifiable information. Google receives and stores these keywords for the recognition features mentioned above. When you visit a page that we have identified with a certain product category, Google stores the respective keyword and associates it with your recognition characteristics. The processed data is stored for a period of two years. For more information on data processing by Google and how you can deactivate the respective processing, please refer to the section “General information on processing by Google” above.

4. Social Media Websites

They are also responsible parties (responsible persons) in the sense of data protection law. We can hardly influence the data processing by the platform operators and are dependent on the information provided to us by the respective providers.

Operators of social media platforms use web tracking methods. Web tracking can be performed regardless of whether you are logged in or registered on the social media platform. As already mentioned, we can hardly influence the web tracking methods of the social media platform and cannot, for example, switch them off. It cannot be ruled out that the provider of the social media platform uses data to evaluate, for example, habits, personal relationships, preferences, etc. In this area, we have no influence on the processing of data by the platform provider.

When you register for our free newsletter on our website, we process your data (e.g. name, e-mail address, IP address, and the date and time of your registration). For the registration to our newsletter, we use a double opt-in procedure: After your registration, you will receive an email asking you to confirm your registration. This confirmation ensures that no unauthorized third party can register with your e-mail address. The collection of personal data serves the purpose of sending the newsletter. The legal basis is consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO). The data will be stored as long as the subscription to the newsletter is active.

7. Retention of data

Personal data will be stored for as long as it is necessary for the above purposes. The data will be deleted at the latest after termination of the contractual relationship and after expiration of the legal retention periods of civil, commercial and tax law. Data that is collected when surfing our website (see item 1) and that can legally be considered personal data (e.g. the full IP address) is stored for a period of 7 days, unless an unusual incident requires a longer storage period (e.g. after a hacker attack).
