The following overview summarises the types of data processed and the purposes of their processing and refers to the data subjects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Relevant legal bases according to the GDPR: <\/strong>Below you will find an overview of the legal bases 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. Should more specific legal bases also apply in individual cases, we will inform you of these in the privacy policy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n National data protection regulations in Germany: <\/strong>In addition to the data protection regulations of the GDPR, national data protection regulations apply in Germany. These include, in particular, the Act on the 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. The data protection laws of the individual federal states may also apply.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We take appropriate technical and organisational measures in accordance with the legal requirements, taking into account the state of the art, the implementation costs and the nature, scope, circumstances and purposes of the processing as well as the different probabilities of occurrence and the extent of the threat to the rights and freedoms of natural persons, in order to ensure a level of protection appropriate to the risk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 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, disclosure, safeguarding of availability and its separation. Furthermore, we have established procedures that ensure the exercise of data subject rights, the deletion of data and responses to data threats. Furthermore, we already take the protection of personal data into account during the development and selection of hardware, software and processes in accordance with the principle of data protection, through technology design and data protection-friendly default settings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Shortening of the IP address: If IP addresses are processed by us or by the service providers and technologies used and the processing of a full IP address is not required, the IP address is truncated (also known as \"IP masking\"). In this process, the last two digits or the last part of the IP address after a dot are removed or replaced by placeholders. The shortening of the IP address is intended to prevent or significantly complicate the identification of a person by means of their IP address.<\/p>\n\n\n\n TLS\/SSL encryption (https): To protect user data transmitted via our online services, we use TLS\/SSL encryption. Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) is the standard technology for securing internet connections by encrypting the data transmitted between a website or app and a browser (or between two servers). Transport Layer Security (TLS) is an updated and more secure version of SSL. Hyper Text Transfer Protocol Secure (HTTPS) is displayed in the URL when a website is secured by an SSL\/TLS certificate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As part of our processing of personal data, the data may be transferred to other bodies, companies, legally independent organisational units or persons or disclosed to them. The 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 observe the legal requirements and, in particular, conclude corresponding contracts or agreements with the recipients of your data that serve to protect your data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 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, bodies or companies, this will only take place in accordance with the legal requirements. If the level of data protection in the third country has been recognised by means of an adequacy decision (Art. 45 GDPR), this serves as the basis for the data transfer. Otherwise, data will only be transferred if the level of data protection is otherwise ensured, in particular through standard contractual clauses (Art. 46 para. 2 lit. c) GDPR), express consent or in the case of contractual or legally required transfer (Art. 49 para. 1 GDPR). In addition, we will inform you of the basis for third country transfers with the individual providers from the third country, whereby the adequacy decisions take precedence. Information on third country transfers and existing adequacy decisions can be found in the information provided by the EU Commission: https:\/\/ec.europa.eu\/info\/law\/law-topic\/data-protection\/international-dimension-data-protection_de.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n EU-US Trans-Atlantic Data Privacy Framework: As part of the so-called \"Data Privacy Framework\" (DPF), the EU Commission has also recognised the level of data protection for certain companies from the USA as secure within the framework of the adequacy decision of 10.07.2023. The list of certified companies as well as further information on the DPF can be found on the website of the US Department of Commerce at https:\/\/www.dataprivacyframework.gov\/<\/a> (in English). As part of the data protection information, we will inform you which service providers we use are certified under the Data Privacy Framework.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The data processed by us will be deleted in accordance with the legal requirements as soon as the consent given for processing is revoked or other authorisations cease to apply (e.g. if the purpose for processing this data no longer applies or it is not required for the purpose). If the data is not deleted because it is required for other and legally permissible purposes, its processing is restricted to these purposes. This means that the data is blocked and not processed for other purposes. This applies, for example, to data that must be retained for commercial or tax law reasons or whose storage is necessary for the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims or to protect the rights of another natural or legal person. Our data protection notices may also contain further information on the retention and erasure of data, which take priority for the respective processing operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Rights of data subjects under the GDPR: As a data subject, you are entitled to various rights under the GDPR, which arise in particular from Art. 15 to 21 GDPR:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Cookies are small text files or other storage notes that store information on end devices and read information from the end devices. For example, to store the login status in a user account, the contents of a shopping basket in an e-shop, the content accessed or the functions of an online service used. Cookies can also be used for various purposes, e.g. to ensure the functionality, security and convenience of online services and to create analyses of visitor flows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Notes on consent: <\/strong>We use cookies in accordance with the statutory provisions. We therefore obtain prior consent from users, unless this 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 expressly requested by them (i.e. our online offering). Strictly necessary cookies generally include cookies with functions that serve the display and operability of the online service, load balancing, security, storage of user preferences and selection options or similar purposes related to the provision of the main and secondary functions of the online service requested by the user. The revocable consent is clearly communicated to the users and contains the information on the respective use of cookies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Information on the legal basis for data protection: <\/strong>The legal basis under data protection law on which we process users' personal data with the help of cookies depends on whether we ask users for their consent. If users consent, the legal basis for processing their data is the consent they have given. Otherwise, the data processed using cookies will be processed on the basis of our legitimate interests (e.g. in the commercial operation of our online offering and improving its usability) or, if this is done in the context of the fulfilment of our contractual obligations, if the use of cookies is necessary to fulfil our contractual obligations. We explain the purposes for which we process cookies in the course of this privacy policy or as part of our consent and processing procedures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Storage duration: <\/strong>With regard to the storage period, a distinction is made between the following types of cookies:<\/p>\n\n\n\n General information on cancellation and objection (so-called \"opt-out\"): <\/strong>Users can revoke the consent they have given at any time and object to processing in accordance with the legal requirements. Among other things, users can restrict the use of cookies in their browser settings (although this may also restrict the functionality of our online offering). An objection to the use of cookies for online marketing purposes can also be made via the websites https:\/\/optout.aboutads.info<\/a> and https:\/\/www.youronlinechoices.com\/<\/a> be explained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Further information on processing operations, procedures and services:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n We process data of our contractual and business partners, e.g. customers and interested parties (collectively referred to as \"contractual partners\") in the context of contractual and comparable legal relationships and associated measures and in the context of communication with the contractual partners (or pre-contractual), e.g. to answer enquiries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We process this data in order to fulfil our contractual obligations. These include, in particular, the obligations to provide the agreed services, any updating obligations and remedies in the event of warranty and other service disruptions. In addition, we process the data to safeguard our rights and for the purpose of the administrative tasks associated with these obligations and the company organisation. In addition, we process the data on the basis of our legitimate interests in proper and efficient business management and in security measures to protect our contractual partners and our business operations from misuse, jeopardising their data, secrets, information and rights (e.g. for the involvement of telecommunications, transport and other auxiliary services as well as subcontractors, banks, tax and legal advisors, payment service providers or tax authorities). Within the framework of applicable law, we only pass on the data of contractual partners to third parties to the extent that this is necessary for the aforementioned purposes or to fulfil legal obligations. Contractual partners will be informed about other forms of processing, e.g. for marketing purposes, as part of this privacy policy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We inform the contractual partners which data is required for the aforementioned purposes before or during data collection, e.g. in online forms, by means of special labelling (e.g. colours) or symbols (e.g. asterisks or similar), or in person.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We delete the data after the expiry of statutory warranty and comparable obligations, i.e. generally after 4 years, unless the data is stored in a customer account, e.g. as long as it must be retained for legal archiving reasons. The statutory retention period is ten years for documents relevant under tax law and for trading books, inventories, opening balance sheets, annual financial statements, the work instructions required to understand these documents and other organisational documents and accounting records, and six years for commercial and business letters received and reproductions of commercial and business letters sent. The period begins at the end of the calendar year in which the last entry was made in the book, the inventory, the opening balance sheet, the annual financial statements or the management report was prepared, the commercial or business letter was received or sent or the accounting voucher was created, the record was made or the other documents were created.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Insofar as we use third-party providers or platforms to provide our services, the terms and conditions and data protection notices of the respective third-party providers or platforms apply in the relationship between the users and the providers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Further information on processing operations, procedures and services:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n We process 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 end device.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Further information on processing operations, procedures and services:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n When contacting us (e.g. by post, contact form, email, telephone or via social media) and in the context of existing user and business relationships, the data of the enquiring persons are processed insofar as this is necessary to answer the contact enquiries and any requested measures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Further information on processing operations, procedures and services:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n We use messengers for communication purposes and therefore ask you to observe the following information on the functionality of the messengers, on encryption, on the use of communication metadata and on your objection options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You can also contact us by alternative means, e.g. by telephone or e-mail. Please use the contact options provided to you or the contact options specified within our online offer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In the case of end-to-end encryption of content (i.e. the content of your message and attachments), we would like to point out that the communication content (i.e. the content of the message and attached images) is encrypted from end to end. This means that the content of the messages cannot be viewed, not even by the messenger providers themselves. You should always use an up-to-date version of the messenger with encryption enabled to ensure that the message content is encrypted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n However, we would also like to point out to our communication partners that although the providers of the messengers cannot view the content, they can find out that and when communication partners communicate with us and that technical information about the device used by the communication partners and, depending on the settings of their device, location information (so-called metadata) is also processed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Notes on legal bases:<\/strong> If we ask communication partners for permission before communicating with them via Messenger, the legal basis for our processing of their data is their consent. Otherwise, if we do not ask for consent and you contact us, for example, on your own initiative, we use Messenger in relation to our contractual partners and in the context of contract initiation as a contractual measure and, in the case of other interested parties and communication partners, on the basis of our legitimate interests in fast and efficient communication and fulfilment of our communication partners' needs for communication via Messenger. We would also like to point out that we will not transmit the contact data provided to us to Messenger for the first time without your consent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Cancellation, objection and deletion:<\/strong> You can revoke your consent at any time <\/p>\n\n\n\n We only send newsletters, emails and other electronic notifications (hereinafter \"newsletter\") with the consent of the recipient or with legal authorisation. If the contents of the newsletter are specifically described when registering for the newsletter, they are decisive for the user's consent. Otherwise, our newsletters contain information about our services and us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To subscribe to our newsletters, it is generally sufficient to provide your e-mail address. However, we may ask you to provide a name so that we can address you personally in the newsletter, or other information if this is necessary for the purposes of the newsletter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Double opt-in procedure:<\/strong> Registration for our newsletter is always carried out in a so-called double opt-in procedure. This means that after registering you will receive an e-mail asking you to confirm your registration. This confirmation is necessary to ensure that no-one can register using other people's e-mail addresses. Subscriptions to the newsletter are logged in order to be able to prove the registration process in accordance with legal requirements. This includes storing the time of registration and confirmation as well as the IP address. Changes to your data stored by the mailing service provider are also logged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Erasure and restriction of processing:<\/strong> We may store the unsubscribed e-mail addresses for up to three years on the basis of our legitimate interests before we delete them in order to be able to prove that consent was previously given. The processing of this data is limited to the purpose of a possible defence against claims. An individual request for erasure is possible at any time, provided that the former existence of consent is confirmed at the same time. In the event of obligations to permanently observe objections, we reserve the right to store the e-mail address in a block list solely for this purpose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The registration process is logged on the basis of our legitimate interests for the purpose of verifying that it is carried out properly. If we commission a service provider to send e-mails, this is done on the basis of our legitimate interests in an efficient and secure dispatch system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Contents:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Information about us, our services, promotions and offers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Further information on processing operations, procedures and services:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n We process personal data of participants in competitions and contests only in compliance with the relevant data protection regulations, insofar as the processing is contractually required for the provision, implementation and handling of the competition, the participants have consented to the processing or the processing serves our legitimate interests (e.g. in the security of the competition or the protection of our interests against misuse through the possible collection of IP addresses when submitting competition entries).<\/p>\n\n\n\n If participants' contributions are published as part of the competitions (e.g. as part of a vote or presentation of the competition entries or winners or reporting on the competition), we would like to point out that the names of the participants may also be published in this context. Participants can object to this at any time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If the competition takes place within an online platform or a social network (e.g. Facebook or Instagram, hereinafter referred to as \"online platform\"), the terms of use and data protection provisions of the respective platforms also apply. In these cases, we would like to point out that we are responsible for the information provided by the participants as part of the competition and that enquiries regarding the competition should be addressed to us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The participants' data will be deleted as soon as the competition or contest has ended and the data is no longer required to inform the winners or because no further queries about the competition are to be expected. In principle, participants' data will be deleted no later than 6 months after the end of the competition. Winners' data may be retained for longer, e.g. to answer queries about the prizes or to fulfil the prize; in this case, the retention period depends on the type of prize and is up to three years for items or services, e.g. to be able to process warranty claims. Participants' data may also be stored for longer, e.g. in the form of reporting on the competition in online and offline media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If data is also collected for other purposes as part of the competition, its processing and retention period will be based on the data protection information for this use (e.g. in the case of registration for the newsletter as part of a competition).<\/p>\n\n\n\n We maintain online presences within social networks and process user data in this context in order to communicate with the users active there or to offer information about us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We would like to point out that user data may be processed outside the European Union. This may result in risks for users because, for example, it could make it more difficult to enforce users' rights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Furthermore, user data within social networks is generally processed for market research and advertising purposes. For example, user profiles can be created based on user behaviour and the resulting interests of users. The user profiles can in turn be used, for example, to place adverts within and outside the networks that presumably correspond to the interests of the users. For these purposes, cookies are usually stored on the user's computer, in which the user's usage behaviour and interests are stored. Furthermore, data can also be stored in the user profiles independently of the devices used by the users (especially if the users are members of the respective platforms and are logged in to them).<\/p>\n\n\n\n For a detailed description of the respective forms of processing and the opt-out options, please refer to the data protection declarations and information provided by the operators of the respective networks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 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 user's data and can take appropriate measures and provide information directly. If you still need help, you can contact us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Further information on processing operations, procedures and services:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n We incorporate functional and content elements into our online offering that are obtained from the servers of their respective providers (hereinafter referred to as \"third-party providers\"). These may be, for example, graphics, videos or city maps (hereinafter uniformly referred to as \"content\").<\/p>\n\n\n\n The integration always requires that the third-party providers of this content process the IP address of the user, as they would not be able to send the content to their browser without the IP address. The IP address is therefore required to display this content or function. We endeavour to only use content whose respective providers only use the IP address to deliver the content. Third-party providers may also use so-called pixel tags (invisible graphics, also known as \"web beacons\") for statistical or marketing purposes. Pixel tags can be used to analyse 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 being linked to such information from other sources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Further information on processing operations, procedures and services:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

This information is used for the technical improvement of our newsletter based on the technical data or the target groups and their reading behaviour based on their retrieval locations (which can be determined using the IP address) or 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 analyses help us to recognise 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.
