Facebook

We have integrated components of the company Facebook on our website.

The operating company is Facebook, Inc., 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA. Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbor, Dublin 2, Ireland acts as controller if an affected person lives outside the US or Canada.

Each time you visit one of the individual pages of websites operated by us and on which a Facebook component (Facebook plug-in) has been integrated, the Internet browser on your IT-system is automatically triggered by the respective Facebook component to download a respective representation of the Facebook component. An overview of all Facebook plug-ins can be found at https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/?locale=en_US. As part of this technical process, Facebook receives information about which specific individual page of our website is visited by the person concerned.

If you are logged in to Facebook at the same time, Facebook recognizes with each of your visits to our website and during the entire duration of the respective stay, which specific individual page of our website is visited. This information is collected through the Facebook component and assigned by Facebook to the respective Facebook account. If you press one of the integrated Facebook buttons on our website, for example the “Like”-button, or leave a comment, Facebook assigns this information to your personal Facebook user account and saves this personal data.

If such a transmission of this information to Facebook is not wanted, you can prevent this transmission by logging out of your Facebook account before visiting our website.

The Facebook Privacy Policy, which is available at https://de-de.facebook.com/about/privacy/, provides information on the collection, processing and use of personal data by Facebook. It also explains which options Facebook offers to protect your privacy.

By the means of your consent, our website uses the Conversion Tracking Pixel Service provided by Facebook. This pixel can be used to track user behaviour after they have been redirected to our site by clicking on a Facebook ad. This enables tracking the effectiveness of Facebook advertising for statistical and market research purposes. The collected data remains anonymous. This means that we cannot access the personal data of individual users. However, the collected data is stored and processed by Facebook. We inform you according to our knowledge. Facebook may link the data to your Facebook account information and use it for its own promotional purposes, according to the Facebook Privacy Policy. Facebook Conversion Tracking also allows Facebook and its affiliates to show you ads in- and outside of Facebook. Additionally, a cookie is stored on your computer for this purpose. You have the possibility to prohibit Facebook and its partners from displaying advertisements. You can edit the settings for Facebook’s ads using the following link: https://www.facebook.com/ads/website_custom_audiences/.

Google Analytics

We have integrated the component Google Analytics (with anonymization function) on our website. Google Analytics is a web analytics service. The operating company of the Google Analytics component is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

The purpose of the Google Analytics component is to analyse visitor flows on our website. Google uses the data and information obtained to evaluate the use of our website, to compile online reports showing the activities on our websites and to provide other services related to the use of our website.

Google Analytics sets a cookie on your IT-system. By using this cookie, Google gets able to analyse the usage of our website. Each time you visit one of the individual pages of websites operated by us and on which a Google Analytics component has been integrated, the Internet browser on your IT-system is automatically triggered by the respective Google Analytics component to send data to Google for the purposes of the online analysis. As part of this technical process, Google will receive personally identifiable information, such as your IP address, which are used to track the origin of visitors and clicks and facilitate commission settlement.

By using this cookie, personally identifiable information, such as access time, the location from which access was made and the frequency of visits to our website, is being stored. Each time you visit our website, your personal information, including the IP address of the Internet connection you use, is transferred to Google. Google may transfer such personal data collected through the technical process to third parties.

You can prevent the storing of cookies through our website at any time by means of an appropriate setting of the Internet browser used and thus permanently object to the activation of cookies. Such a setting of the Internet browser used would also prevent Google from setting a cookie on your IT- system. In addition, a cookie already set by Google Analytics can be deleted at any time via the Internet browser or other software programs.

In addition, you have the option of objecting to and preventing the collection of data generated by Google Analytics for the use of this website and the processing of this data by Google. To do this, you can download and install a browser add-on at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. This browser add-on informs Google Analytics via JavaScript that no data and information about website visits may be transmitted to Google Analytics. The installation of the browser add-on is considered by Google as a contradiction. If your information technology system is later deleted, formatted, or reinstalled, you must reinstall the browser add-on to disable Google Analytics.

Additional information and Google’s privacy policy can be found at https://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy/ and http://www.google.com/analytics/terms/en.html. Google Analytics is explained in more detail at https://www.google.com/intl/de_de/analytics/.

CRM Ads

We use Facebook Audience Manager and Google Customer Match to send you ads we think are most relevant to you. This feature allows us to send you ads based on your preferences as part of a specific group of people. We do not share any of your personal information, such as your name or email address, with such third party networks. These networks only receive an anonymized identifier for the display of CRM ads during processing. You can manage your privacy settings on the privacy tab of your account with such a third party.

Chat Add-In

We have integrated a chat feature on our website, which is provided by Zendesk, Inc., 1019 Market St, San Francisco, CA 94103, USA. The purpose of this chat feature is to provide assistance based on your input in the chat. In doing so, Zendesk collects and uses the information you provide to improve the quality of the chat features.
Standard contractual clauses and a data processing agreement between Zendesk and us provide the necessary safeguards in the United States of America to ensure a privacy standard compliant to the data protection provisions of the European Union. Your information will not be shared by the chat function with any other processors outside the European Union. More information and the Zendesk Privacy Policy can be found at https://www.zendesk.com/company/customers-partners/privacy-policy/.

International data transmission

We may transfer your information to jurisdictions outside of your home country for the purposes described here, including to countries that may not provide the same level of data protection as your home country. To protect the information, transfers will be made in accordance with appropriate data transfer agreements and other protections. Regardless of where we process your information, we protect it in the manner described in this Privacy Statement and in accordance with applicable law.

How do we protect your data?

We maintain reasonable administrative, technical, and physical security measures to protect your information from unauthorized access and use. We retain your information only as long as needed to provide our services and for legitimate business purposes, unless we are required by law or regulation or for litigation and regulatory investigations to keep it for longer periods of time.

General data security measures

At any time we implement appropriate technical and organizational measures, such as pseudonymisation, which are designed to implement data-protection principles, in order to meet the requirements of the data protection provisions and to implement the necessary warranties in the processing in order to comply with the requirements of the data protection laws and to protect your data.

We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures for ensuring that, by default, only personal data which are necessary for each specific purpose of the processing are processed. That obligation applies to the amount of personal data collected, the extent of their processing, the period of their storage and their accessibility. In particular, such measures shall ensure that by default personal data are not made accessible without the individual’s intervention to an indefinite number of natural persons. These measures include

• the pseudonymisation and encryption of your personal data;
• the ability to ensure the ongoing confidentiality, integrity, availability and resilience of processing systems and services;
• the ability to restore the availability and access to personal data in a timely manner in the event of a physical or technical incident;
• a process for regularly testing, assessing and evaluating the effectiveness of technical and organizational measures for ensuring the security of the processing.

Special data security measures

Secure Socket Layer (SSL)
Whenever it is necessary for you to enter personal information online, we use an encrypted transmission method (SSL) to protect your confidential information. “SSL” stands for “Secure Socket Layer”. When accessing a secure server, the first characters of the site address will change from “http://” to “https://”. This indicates that you are in a secure mode. In addition, you may also see one of the following icons in the lower right-hand or left-hand corner of the computer screen:
 Internet Explorer
 Firefox
 Chrome
 Safari

SSL creates a secure connection between a client and a server (your computer), over which any amount of data can be sent in secure mode. For using SSL, the browser and the server need what is called an SSL certificate to be able to establish a secure connection and to indicate where the server is located and who it is operated by. In order to receive such a certificate, you need a certificate issuer, who guarantees that the information given is accurate. Our secure server has been certified by the Comodo Group.

Changes

We may change this Privacy Statement from time to time as our business changes or legal requirements change. If we make material changes to this Privacy Statement, we will post a notice on our website before the changes go into effect, and notify you as otherwise required by applicable law.
