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 the browser of your device, which automatically enables interest-based advertising using a pseudonymous cookie ID and based on the pages you visit. Further data processing only takes place if you have consented to Google linking your internet and app browsing history with your Google Account and using information from your Google Account to personalize ads that you view on the web. In this case, if you are logged in to Google while visiting our website, Google will use your data together with Google Analytics data to create and define target group lists for cross-device remarketing. For this purpose, Google will temporarily link your personal data with Google Analytics data to create target groups. When using Google Ads Remarketing, personal data may also be transferred to the servers of Google LLC in the USA.

All processing described above, in particular the setting of cookies for reading information on the device used, will only be carried out if you have given us your express consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR. Without this consent, retargeting technology will not be used during your visit to the site.

You can revoke your consent at any time with future effect. To exercise your revocation, please deactivate this service using the "Cookie Consent Tool" provided on the website.

For data transfers to the USA, the provider has joined the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, which ensures compliance with the European level of data protection on the basis of an adequacy decision of the European Commission.

10.1 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 to load the plugin. Certain information, including your IP address, is transmitted to the provider.

If the playback of embedded videos is started via the plugin, the provider also uses cookies to collect information about user behavior, create playback statistics and prevent abusive behavior.

If you are logged into a user account with the provider during your visit, your data will be directly assigned to your account when you click on a video. If you do not wish to be assigned to your account, you must log out before clicking the play button.

All of the aforementioned processing, in particular the setting of cookies for reading information on the device used, will only take place if you have given us your express consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR.

11) Tools and Other

11.1 - DATEV

For accounting purposes, we use the cloud-based accounting software service of the following provider: DATEV eG, Paumgartnerstr. 6-14, 90429 Nuremberg, Germany

The provider processes incoming and outgoing invoices and, if applicable, our company's bank transactions in order to automatically record invoices, match them to the transactions and, from this, create financial accounting in a semi-automated process.

If personal data is also processed in this case, the processing is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest in the efficient organization and documentation of our business transactions.

11.2 Cookie Consent Tool

This website uses a so-called "cookie consent tool" to obtain effective user consent for cookies and cookie-based applications that require consent. The "cookie consent tool" is displayed to users when they visit the page in the form of an interactive user interface, where consent for specific cookies and/or cookie-based applications can be given by checking the appropriate boxes. By using the tool, all cookies/services that require consent are only loaded if the respective user gives their consent by checking the appropriate boxes. This ensures that such cookies are only placed on the user's device if consent has been given.

The tool uses technically necessary cookies to save your cookie preferences. Personal user data is generally not processed.

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) GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest in legally compliant, user-specific and user-friendly consent management for cookies and thus in a legally compliant design of our website.

A further legal basis for processing is Art. 6 (1) (c) GDPR. As the controller, we are legally obliged to make the use of technically unnecessary cookies dependent on the respective user's consent.

Where necessary, we have concluded a data processing agreement with the provider, which ensures the protection of the data of our site visitors and prohibits unauthorized disclosure to third parties.

Further information about the operator and the setting options of the cookie consent tool can be found directly in the corresponding user interface on our website.

IF YOU EXERCISE YOUR RIGHT OF OBJECTION, WE WILL STOP PROCESSING THE DATA CONCERNED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES.

13) Duration of storage of personal data

The duration of storage of personal data is determined by the respective legal basis, the purpose of the processing and – where applicable – also by the respective statutory retention period (e.g. retention periods under commercial and tax law).

When processing personal data on the basis of express consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR, the data concerned will be stored until you revoke your consent.

If there are statutory retention periods for data that are processed within the framework of legal transactions or obligations similar to legal transactions on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR, these data will be routinely deleted after the retention periods have expired, provided that they are no longer required to fulfil or initiate a contract and/or we no longer have a legitimate interest in continuing to store them.

When processing personal data on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR, these data will be stored until you exercise your right of objection in accordance with Art. 21 (1) GDPR, unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which outweigh your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves to assert, exercise or defend legal claims.

When processing personal data for the purpose of direct advertising on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR, these data will be stored until you exercise your right of objection in accordance with Art. 21 (2) GDPR.

Unless otherwise stated in the other information in this statement on specific processing situations, stored personal data will be deleted when they are no longer necessary for the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed.
