2) Data Collection When You Visit Our Website

2.1 When you use our website for informational purposes only—that is, if you do not register or otherwise provide us with information—we collect only the data that your browser transmits to the website server (so-called “server log files”). When you visit our website, we collect the following data, which is technically necessary for us to display the website to you:
– The website you visited
– Date and time of access
– Amount of data transmitted in bytes
– Source/referrer from which you accessed the site
– Browser used
– Operating system used
– IP address used (if applicable: in anonymized form)
Data processing is carried out in accordance with Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR based on our legitimate interest in improving the stability and functionality of our website.

3) Hosting & Content Delivery Network

To host our website and display its content, we use a provider that delivers its services—either directly or through selected subcontractors—exclusively on servers located within the European Union.
All data collected on our website is processed on these servers, unless different data recipients are specified below for specific data processing activities.
We have entered into a data processing agreement with the service provider that ensures the protection of our website visitors’ data and prohibits unauthorized disclosure to third parties.

4) Cookies

To make your visit to our website more enjoyable and to enable the use of certain features, we use cookies—small text files that are stored on your device. Some of these cookies are automatically deleted when you close your browser (so-called “session cookies”), while others remain on your device for a longer period and allow us to save page settings (so-called “persistent cookies”). In the latter case, you can find the storage duration in the overview of your web browser’s cookie settings.
If personal data is processed by individual cookies we use, such processing is carried out in accordance with Art. 6(1)(b) of the GDPR either for the performance of a contract, in accordance with Art. 6(1)(a) of the GDPR in the event that consent has been granted, or in accordance with Art. 6(1) 1(f) of the GDPR to safeguard our legitimate interests in ensuring the best possible functionality of the website and a user-friendly and effective experience for visitors.
You can configure your browser to notify you when cookies are set and to allow you to decide on a case-by-case basis whether to accept them, or to block the acceptance of cookies in specific cases or generally.
Please note that if you do not accept cookies, the functionality of our website may be limited.

5) Making Contact

When you contact us (e.g., via the contact form or email), personal data is collected. The specific data collected when using a contact form is indicated on the respective contact form. This data is stored and used exclusively for the purpose of responding to your inquiry or for establishing contact and the associated technical administration.
The legal basis for processing this data is our legitimate interest in responding to your inquiry pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. If your contact is aimed at entering into a contract, the additional legal basis for processing is Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR. Your data will be deleted once your inquiry has been fully processed. This is the case when the circumstances indicate that the matter in question has been conclusively resolved and provided that there are no statutory retention requirements to the contrary.

6) Web analytics services

6.1 Google Analytics 4

This website uses Google Analytics 4, a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland (“Google”), which enables us to analyze your use of our website.
By default, when you visit the website, Google Analytics 4 sets cookies, which are small text files stored on your device and used to collect certain information. This information includes your IP address, although Google truncates the last few digits to prevent direct identification of individuals.
The information is transmitted to Google’s servers and processed there. This may also involve transfers to Google LLC, which is headquartered in the United States.
Google uses the collected information on our behalf to evaluate your use of the website, compile reports on website activity for us, and provide other services related to website and internet usage. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics and truncated is not combined with other data from Google. The data collected through the use of Google Analytics 4 is stored for a period of two months and then deleted.
All processing described above, in particular the placement of cookies on the device you are using, takes place only if you have given us your explicit consent in accordance with Art. 6(1)(a) of the GDPR.
Without your consent, Google Analytics 4 will not be used during your visit to the site. You may revoke your consent at any time with future effect. To exercise your right to revoke consent, please disable this service using the “Cookie Consent Tool” provided on the website.
We have entered into a data processing agreement with Google that ensures the protection of our website visitors’ data and prohibits unauthorized disclosure to third parties.
For further legal information regarding Google Analytics 4, please visit https://business.safety.google/intl/de/privacy/, https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de&gl=de, and https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites

Demographic Features Google Analytics 4 uses the special “demographic features” function and can use it to generate statistics that provide insights into the age, gender, and interests of website visitors. This is done by analyzing advertisements and information from third-party providers. This allows target audiences to be identified for marketing activities. However, the collected data cannot be linked to any specific individual and is deleted after being stored for a period of two months.

Google Signals
As an extension of Google Analytics 4, Google Signals may be used on this website to generate cross-device reports. If you have enabled personalized ads and linked your devices to your Google Account, Google may—subject to your consent to the use of Google Analytics pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) of the GDPR—analyze your usage behavior across devices and create database models, including those related to cross-device conversions. We do not receive any personal data from Google, only statistics. If you wish to stop cross-device analysis, you can disable the “Personalized Ads” feature in your Google Account settings. To do so, follow the instructions on this page: https://support.google.com/My-Ad-Center-Help/answer/12155764?hl=de
For more information about Google Signals, please visit the following link: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/7532985?hl=de

UserIDs
As an extension to Google Analytics 4, the “UserIDs” feature may be used on this website. If you have consented to the use of Google Analytics 4 in accordance with Art. 6(1)(a) of the GDPR, have set up an account on this website, and sign in to that account on various devices, your activities—including conversions—can be analyzed across devices.
For data transfers to the U.S., the provider has adhered to the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework, which ensures compliance with European data protection standards based on an adequacy decision by the European Commission.

6.2 Google Tag Manager

This website uses “Google Tag Manager,” a service provided by the following company: Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (hereinafter referred to as “Google”).
Google Tag Manager provides a technical foundation for bundling various web applications—including tracking and analytics services—and for configuring, controlling, and conditioning them through a unified user interface. Google Tag Manager itself does not store any information on users’ devices or read data from them. Nor does the service perform any independent data analysis. However, when you visit a page, Google Tag Manager transmits your IP address to Google, where it may be stored. Transmission to servers operated by Google LLC in the United States is also possible.
This processing is carried out only if you have given us your explicit consent in accordance with Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR. Without this consent, Google Tag Manager will not be used during your visit to the site. You may revoke your consent at any time with future effect. To exercise your right to revoke consent, please deactivate this service using the “Cookie Consent Tool” provided on the website.
We have entered into a data processing agreement with the provider that ensures the protection of our website visitors’ data and prohibits unauthorized disclosure to third parties.
For data transfers to the U.S., the provider has joined the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework, which, based on an adequacy decision by the European Commission, ensures compliance with European data protection standards.

7) Retargeting/Remarketing and Conversion Tracking

7.1 Google Ads Remarketing

This website uses retargeting technology from the following provider: Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland
For this purpose, Google places a cookie in your device’s browser that automatically enables interest-based advertising using a pseudonymous cookie ID and based on the pages you have visited. The information collected in this process generally includes your IP address.
Any further data processing takes place only if you have consented to Google linking your internet and app browsing history to your Google Account and using information from your Google Account to personalize the ads you see on the web. In this case, if you are signed in to Google while visiting our website, Google uses your data in conjunction with Google Analytics data to create and define audience lists for cross-device remarketing. To do this, Google temporarily links your personal data with Google Analytics data to form target audiences. As part of the use of Google Ads Remarketing, personal data may also be transferred to the servers of Google LLC in the United States.
All processing described above, in particular the setting of cookies to read information from the device you are using, will only take place if you have given us your explicit consent in accordance with Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR. Without this consent, retargeting technology will not be used during your visit to the site.
You may revoke your consent at any time with future effect. To exercise your right to revoke consent, please deactivate this service using the “Cookie Consent Tool” provided on the website.
For data transfers to the United States, the provider has adhered to the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, which ensures compliance with European data protection standards based on an adequacy decision by the European Commission.

Further information on Google’s privacy policies can be found here: https://business.safety.google/intl/de/privacy/ and https://www.google.de/policies/privacy/

7.2 Google Ads Conversion Tracking

This website uses the online advertising program “Google Ads” and, as part of Google Ads, conversion tracking provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland (“Google”). We use Google Ads to draw attention to our attractive offers on external websites through advertisements (known as Google AdWords). Based on the data from the advertising campaigns, we can determine how successful individual advertising measures are. Our goal is to show you advertisements that are of interest to you, to make our website more appealing to you, and to ensure a fair calculation of the associated advertising costs.
The conversion tracking cookie is set when a user clicks on a Google Ads ad. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device. These cookies typically expire after 30 days and are not used for personal identification. If the user visits certain pages on this website and the cookie has not yet expired, Google and we can recognize that the user clicked on the ad and was redirected to that page. Each Google Ads customer receives a different cookie. Cookies cannot therefore be tracked across the websites of Google Ads customers. The information collected using the conversion cookie—which includes your IP address—is used to generate conversion statistics for Google Ads customers who have opted in to conversion tracking. Customers are informed of the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a page tagged with a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not receive any information that can be used to personally identify users. When using Google Ads, personal data may also be transferred to the servers of Google LLC in the United States.
Details regarding the processing activities triggered by Google Ads conversion tracking and Google’s handling of website data can be found here: https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites
All processing described above, in particular the setting of cookies to read information from the device you are using, is carried out only if you have given us your explicit consent in accordance with Art. 6(1)(a) of the GDPR. You can revoke your consent at any time with future effect by disabling this service in the “Cookie Consent Tool” provided on the website.
You can also permanently opt out of Google Ads conversion tracking by downloading and installing the Google browser plug-in available at the following link:
https://support.google.com/My-Ad-Center-Help/answer/12155656?hl=de
Please note that certain features of this website may not be available or may be limited if you have disabled the use of cookies.

8) Page Features

8.1 YouTube

This website uses plugins to display and play videos from the following provider: Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland
Data may also be transmitted to: Google LLC, USA
When you visit a page on our website that contains such a plugin, your browser establishes a direct connection to the provider’s servers—at the latest when the video begins playing—to load the content. In the process, certain information, including your IP address, is transmitted to the provider.
When playback of embedded videos is started via the plugin, the provider also uses cookies to collect information about user behavior, generate playback statistics, and prevent abusive behavior.
If you are logged into a user account with the provider while visiting our site, your data will be directly associated with your account when you click on a video. If you do not wish for this association with your account, you must log out before clicking the play button.
All of the aforementioned processing activities, in particular the setting of cookies to read information from the device you are using, take place only if you have given us your explicit consent in accordance with Art. 6(1)(a) of the GDPR. You may revoke the consent you have given at any time with future effect by deactivating this service via the “Cookie Consent Tool” provided on the website.

8.2 Google Maps

This website uses an online map service provided by the following provider: Google Maps (API) from Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland (“Google”).
Google Maps is a web service that displays interactive (map) maps to visually present geographic information. Using this service shows you our location and makes it easier for you to find your way here.
As soon as you access any subpages that include the Google Maps map, information about your use of our website (such as your IP address) is transmitted to Google’s servers and stored there; this may also involve a transfer to the servers of Google LLC in the United States. This occurs regardless of whether Google provides a user account through which you are logged in or whether a user account exists. If you are logged in to Google, your data will be directly associated with your account. If you do not wish for your data to be associated with your Google profile, you must log out before clicking the button. Google stores your data (even for users who are not logged in) as usage profiles and analyzes them.
The collection, storage, and analysis are carried out in accordance with Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR based on Google’s legitimate interest in displaying personalized advertising, conducting market research, and/or designing Google websites to meet user needs. You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles; to exercise this right, you must contact Google. If you do not consent to the future transmission of your data to Google in connection with the use of Google Maps, you also have the option to completely disable the Google Maps web service by turning off JavaScript in your browser. Google Maps—and thus the map display on this website—will then no longer be available.
To the extent required by law, we have obtained your consent for the processing of your data as described above in accordance with Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR. You may revoke your consent at any time with future effect. To exercise your right to revoke consent, please follow the procedure described above for filing an objection.
For data transfers to the U.S., the provider has joined the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework, which ensures compliance with European data protection standards based on an adequacy decision by the European Commission.

In addition, participants’ video and audio contributions as well as text entries in chats may be processed.
Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR serves as the legal basis for the processing of personal data necessary for the performance of a contract with you (this also applies to processing operations necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures). To the extent that you have given us consent to process your data, the processing is based on Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR. You may revoke any consent you have given at any time with future effect.

9) Tools and Miscellaneous

9.1 Cookie Consent Tool

This website uses a so-called “cookie consent tool” to obtain valid user consent for cookies and cookie-based applications that require consent. The “cookie consent tool” is displayed to users when they visit the site in the form of an interactive user interface, where they can grant consent for specific cookies and/or cookie-based applications by checking the appropriate boxes. When using the tool, all cookies and services requiring consent are loaded only if the respective user grants the appropriate consent by checking the relevant boxes. This ensures that such cookies are set on the user’s device only if consent has been granted.
The tool sets technically necessary cookies to save your cookie preferences. Personal user data is generally not processed in this context.
If, in individual cases, personal data (such as the IP address) is processed for the purpose of storing, assigning, or logging cookie settings, this is done in accordance with Art. 6(1)(f) of the GDPR based on our legitimate interest in legally compliant, user-specific, and user-friendly consent management for cookies and, consequently, in the legally compliant design of our website.
Another legal basis for the processing is Article 6(1)(c) of the GDPR. As the data controller, we are subject to the legal obligation to make the use of technically non-essential cookies contingent upon the user’s consent.
Where necessary, we have entered into a data processing agreement with the provider that ensures the protection of our website visitors’ data and prohibits unauthorized disclosure to third parties.
Further information about the operator and the configuration options for the cookie consent tool can be found directly in the corresponding user interface on our website.

Data processing is based on our legitimate interest in efficient business management that minimizes response times and in customer-friendly and effective document management, in accordance with Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR.
We have entered into a data processing agreement with the provider that protects the data of our website visitors and prohibits its disclosure to third parties.
