Cookies
The websites partially use cookies. Cookies do not cause any damage to your computer and do not contain any viruses. Cookies serve to make our offer user-friendly, more effective and safe. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer and that your browser stores.
Most of the cookies we use are “session cookies”. They are deleted automatically after the end of your visit. Other cookies remain stored on your end device until you delete them. These cookies enable us to recognise your browser again on your next visit.
You can set your browser so that you will be informed when cookies are set and only permit cookies in individual cases, prevent acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general and activate automatic deletion of the cookies when you close the browser. If you deactivate cookies, the function of this website may be limited.
Cookies that are needed to perform electronic communication, or to provide certain functions desired by you (e.g. shopping cart functions), are stored based on point (f) of Article 6(1) GDPR. The website operator has as legitimate interest in storage of cookies for technically correct and optimised provision of its services. As far as any other cookies (e.g. cookies for analysis of your surfing behaviour) are stored, these are treated separately in the data protection statement.
SERVER LOG FILES
The provider of the website will automatically collect and store information in server log files that your browser transmits to us automatically. These are:
Browser type and browser version
operating system used
Referrer URL
Host name of the accessing computer
Time of the server query
Internet protocol address
These data will not be combined with any other data sources.
The basis for processing activities shall be point (f) of Article 6(1) GDPR, which permits processing of data to meet a contract or pre-contractual measures.
PROCESSING ACTIVITIES AND DATA TRANSFER
We collect, process, and use personal data only as far as they are required to found, design contents or change the legal relationship. This is done based on point (b) of Article 6(1) GDPR, which permits processing of data to meet a contract or for pre-contractual measures. The collected customer data will be deleted after the end of the order or termination of the business relationship. Legal archiving periods shall remain unaffected.
We collect, process and use personal data concerning the use of our websites (usage data) only as far as this is required in order to enable the user to use the service or to settle fees for use. These processing activities are based on point (f) of Article 6(1) GDPR. This is the legal foundation of processing activities that are not covered by any of the legal foundations named in Article 6 GDPR if processing is required to preserve a legitimate interest of our company or of a third party, provided that the interests, fundamental rights and fundamental freedoms of the data subjects do not take priority.
DATA TRANSMISSION TO THIRD PARTIES
For defect-free operation, and in order to ensure comfortable use of our websites, using third-party offers and services is usually unavoidable. For this, we need to grant such subcontractors access to the data needed to provide such services. Transfer shall only take place on the basis of statutory permission in accordance with Article 6 GDPR (e.g. if you have consented, it is necessary for meeting the contract, due to a legal obligation or based on our legitimate interests).
Charging third parties with processing activities take place based on the “Contract for processing activities” in accordance with Article 28 GDPR. The third parties charged in the scope of provision of these websites are listed in the following paragraphs.
TRANSFER TO THIRD COUNTRIES
If we or one of our subcontractors process any data in a third country (i.e. outside of the European Union or the European Economic Area), or transmit them to such a country, this is done on a suitable legal foundation in accordance with Article 6 GDPR, e.g. to meet our (pre-)contractual obligations, based on your consent, due to a legal obligation or based on our legitimate interests. Processing activities further take place based on suitable guarantees in accordance with Article 44 et seqq. GDPR, such as an adequacy decision of the EU Commission concerning the level of the protection of personal data in a country, or upon conclusion of officially recognised special contracts with our subcontractors (the “Standard Contractual Clauses”).
HOSTING
In order to ensure smooth operation of our websites and to optimise the usage experience for users, we or our hosting provider process content data, usage data, meta data and communication data of interested parties and visitors of this website, based on our legitimate interests in accordance with point (f) of Article 6(1) GDPR, in conjunction with Article 28 GDPR.
CONTACT FORM
If you send us any queries via the contact form, your information from the contact form, including the contact details you indicate there, will be stored by us for processing of the request and in case we have any subsequent questions. We will not pass on your data without your consent. The data entered in the contact form shall thus only be processed based on your consent (point (a) of Article 6(1) GDPR). You may withdraw your consent at any time. An informal notification by email to us is sufficient for this. The lawfulness of the processing activities performed until the withdrawal shall remain unaffected by this. The data you entered in the contact form will remain with us until you request that we erase them, withdraw your consent to storage or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g. after your request has been completely processed). Mandatory statutory provisions – in particular archiving periods – shall remain unaffected by this.
INTEGRATION OF SERVICES AND THIRD-PARTY CONTENTS
We use the offers of third-party providers within our websites in order to integrate their contents and services, such as videos or fonts. This is done based on our legitimate interests in optimisation and operation of our online offer within the meaning of point (f) of Article 6(1) GDPR. The prerequisite for transfer of the contents to the user’s browser is transfer of its IP address. The IP address is therefore indispensable for (correct) presentation of such contents.
GOOGLE ANALYTICS
This website uses functions of the web analysis service Google Analytics. The provider is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.
Google Analytics uses “cookies”. These are text files that are stored on your computer and that permit analysis of your use of the website. As a rule, the information generated by the cookie through your use of this website is sent to a Google server in the USA and stored there.
We use Google Analytics for the purpose of analysing use of our website and to continually improve individual functions and offers as well as the usage experience. Google-Analytics cookies are stored based on point (f) of Article 6(1) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in analysis of the user behaviour in order to optimise both its web offer and its advertisement.
GOOGLE TAG MANAGER
We use Google Tag Manager. This service allows management of website tags via an interface. Google Tool Manager only implements tags.
This means: No cookies are used, and no personal data are recorded. Google Tool Manager triggers other tags that in turn may record data.
However, Google Tag Manager does not access these data. In case of deactivation on domain or cookie level, this remains present for all tracking tags if these are implemented with Google Tag Manager.
IP ANONYMISATION
We activated the function IP anonymisation on this website. This way, your internet protocol address will be abbreviated first by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the convention on the European Economic Area before transfer to the USA. Only in exceptional circumstances will your full Internet Protocol address be transmitted to a server of Google in the USA and abbreviated there. On the order of the provider of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, in order to compile reports on the website activities and to render further services connected to website use and internet use towards the website operator. The Internet Protocol address transmitted by your browser within the context of Google Analytics will not be combined with any other data from Google.
BROWSER PLUGIN
"You may prevent storage of the cookies by making the corresponding settings in your browser software;
however, note that you may be unable to fully use all functions of the website in such a case. You may furthermore prevent recording of the data generated by the cookie and referring to your use of the website (incl. your Internet Protocol address) and processing of these personal data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available under the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de."

PROCESSING ACTIVITIES BASED ON A CONTRACT
We have concluded a contract with Google for contract data processing and implement the strict specifications of the German data protection authorities when using Google Analytics completely.
DEMOGRAPHIC FEATURES AT GOOGLE ANALYTICS
This website uses the function “demographic features” of Google Analytics. This permits compilation of reports that contain statements on age, gender, and interests of the visitors to the pages. These data originate from interest-related advertising of Google and visitor data of third-party providers. These data cannot be associated with any specific person. You may deactivate this function at any time via the advertisement settings in your Google account or generally forbid collection of your data by Google Analytics as described in the item “Objection to data collection”.
SOCIAL MEDIA
We maintain profiles on Social Media platforms (Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Xing, LinkedIn), to provide information about us there and to engage in exchange with active users.
On our social media platforms, we post information that is shown to the users who have actively connected to us on the respective network, and we place ads for target groups relevant to us.
Our websites only link to our profiles on such social media platforms. We do not use any plug-ins that would connect to servers of Facebook & co. simply when calling up our website.
When calling up the respective platforms, the terms and conditions and the data protection provisions of the respective provider shall apply. If you follow a link from our website to one of our social media profiles, we prevent disclosure of the URL of origin (referrer) in all supporting browsers. This is done in light of best data economy when handling social networks.

The operator company of Facebook and Instagram is Facebook, Inc., 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA. The controller for processing of personal data if a data subject lives outside of the USA or Canada is Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland.
"The data protection directive published by Facebook, available at

Furthermore, it explains which setting options Facebook has to protect the privacy of the data subjects. Various applications are also available that make it possible to suppress data transfer to Facebook. Such applications can be used by the data subject in order to suppress data transfer to Facebook.
Facebook has reacted to the jurisdiction of the ECJ concerning the shared responsibility of Facebook and fanpage operators and published a Page Controller Addendum to supplement the usage terms. This supplement can be found at https://www.facebook.com/legal/terms/page_controller_addendum.
INFORMATION ON PAGE INSIGHTS
Facebook provides page insights to us for our Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/business/a/page/page-insights. Page insights are summarised data that inform us about how people interact with our page.
Page insights are summarised statistics that are compiled based on specific events logged by the Facebook servers when persons interact with pages and the connected contents.
Such events are made out of different data points that may include, among other things, the following:
An action. This may include, for instance the following actions:
Viewing a page, a contribution, a video, a story, or other contents connected to a page
Interacting with a story
Subscribing or no longer subscribing to a page
Marking a page or contribution with “Like" or "No longer like”
Recommending a page in a contribution or comment
Commenting on a page contribution, sharing it, or reacting to it (including the type of reaction)
Concealing a page contribution or reporting it as spam
Hovering the mouse over a link for a page or the name or profile picture of a page in order to view a preview of the page
Clicking the website, phone number, “route planning” button or another button on a page
Viewing the events of a page, reacting to an event (including the type of reaction), clicking a link for event tickets
Starting a messenger conversation with the page

Information on the action, the person who performed the action, and the browser/app used for it. These may include:
Date and time of the action
Country/town (estimated based on the internet protocol address or imported from the user profile of logged-in users)
Language code (from the HTTP header of the browser and/or the language setting)
Age/gender group (from the user profile, for logged-in users only)
Previously visited websites (from the browser’s HTTP header)
Whether the action was performed on the computer or a mobile device (from the browser user agent or from app attributes)
Facebook user ID (for logged-in users only)
"Facebook determines whether these persons are logged-in Facebook users
by using cookies that are used in accordance with the Facebook cookie directive. Only few events can be triggered by persons who are not logged in with Facebook. They include, among other things, visiting of a page or clicking a photograph or video in a contribution in order to view it."
We as page operators have no access to the personal data that are processed within the context of events, but only to the summarised page insights. Events that are used to create page insights save no internet protocol addresses, cookie IDs or other identifiers that are assigned to persons or their devices, except for a Facebook user ID for persons logged in with Facebook.
The events Facebook logs in order to create page insights are specified by Facebook exclusively and cannot be changed or otherwise influenced by us as page operator.
PAGE INSIGHTS SUPPLEMENT CONCERNING THE CONTROLLER
If any interaction of persons with our Facebook page or our Instagram profile triggers creation of an event for page insights that contains personal data for the processing of which we (and/or any third party who creates or manages the page for us) specify the means and purposes of processing together with Facebook Ireland Limited, we accept and agree that the following page insights supplement shall apply concerning the controller (“Page Insights Supplement”):
"Facebook Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2,
Ireland (“Facebook”) and we (together the “Parties”) accept and agree that we are joint controllers in accordance with Article 26 GDPR for processing of such personal data in events for page insights (“Insights Data”). Joint controllership shall comprise creation of such events and their combination into page insights that are then provided to us as page operators. The parties agree that Facebook and potentially we remain separate and independent controllers for any other processing of personal data in connection with a page and7or the contents connected to it for which there is no joint decision on the purposes and means."
Processing of the insights data is subject to the provisions of this Page Insights Supplement. These apply to all activities in the course of which Facebook Ireland, its employees or its data processor(s) process insights data.
The following is stipulated concerning compliance with the obligations from the GDPR by Facebook Ireland and us regarding the processing of insights data:
Facebook Ireland: Facebook Ireland shall ensure that it has a legal basis for the processing of insights data that is presented in the data directive of Facebook Ireland (see “What is our legal basis for processing of data?”). If this Pages Insights Supplement does not state anything to the contrary, Facebook Ireland shall take care of performing the obligations from the GDPR for processing of insights data (among other things, Articles 12 and 13 GDPR, Articles 15 to 21 GDPR, Articles 33 and 34 GDPR). Facebook Ireland shall take suitable technical and organisation measures in correspondence with Article 32 GDPR in order to ensure safety of processing. This comprises the measures that are listed in the annex (s. https://www.facebook.com/legal/terms/page_controller_addendum). All employees of Facebook Ireland who are involved in the processing of insights data are obligated to keep the insights data confidential.
"Page operator: We make sure that we have a legal basis for processing
of the insights data. In addition to the Information that data subjects are provided on the information on page insights by Facebook Ireland, we explain our legal basis/the competent controllers on our side, including their contact details, and the contact details of the data protection officers, in this data protection statement."
"Facebook Ireland provides the data subjects with the essential parts of this
Page Insights Supplement (Article 26 (2) GDPR). This is currently done via the information on Page Insights Data that can be accessed from all sides."
Facebook Ireland decides, subject to its sole discretion, how it meets its obligations under this page insights supplement. We accept and agree that only Facebook Ireland has the right to implement any decisions concerning processing of insights data. We also accept and agree that the Irish data protection commission is the leading supervisory authority for joint processing (notwithstanding Article 55 (2) GDPR, as far as relevant.
The Page Insights Supplement does not give us the right to demand disclosure of personal data of Facebook users processed in connection with Facebook products. This shall specifically also apply concerning the page insights provided to us by Facebook.
"The parties shall specify the information on page insights data
contact options as a contact point for the data subjects."
If data subjects assert the rights they are due regarding processing of insights data against us (Article 26 (3) GDPR) or a supervisory authority contacts us concerning the processing of insights data (each a “Query”), we are obligated to forward all relevant information for such queries to Facebook without undue delay, but no later than within seven calendar days.
We may submit the following form for this purpose. Facebook Ireland commits to answering queries from data subjects in correspondence with its obligations under this page insights supplement. We agree to make all appropriate efforts in a timely manner in order to cooperate with Facebook in answering any such queries. We do not have the right to act or respond in the name of Facebook Ireland.
If we use a Facebook page/Instagram profile, we agree that any claim, object of a claim or dispute that we have towards Facebook, and that results from this page insights supplement, or that is connected to it is to be determined solely by the courts in Ireland, that we submit to the jurisdiction of the Irish courts irrevocably for proceedings concerning any such claims, and that this page insights supplement is subject to Irish law, without consideration of any conflict of laws provisions. Since we are a company with permanent domicile in a member state of the European Union, only Section 4.1 of the Facebook terms and conditions shall apply.
Facebook may update this Page Insights Supplement from time to time. Our continued use of Facebook pages after any notification of any update to this page insights supplement, means that we agree to be bound to these. If we do not agree to the updated page insights supplement, we must cease any use of Facebook pages. Since we are a company with permanent domicile in a member state of the European Union, only Section 4.1 of the Facebook terms and conditions shall apply.
If any part of this page insights supplement is considered non-enforceable, the remaining provisions remain fully valid and in force. Non-enforcement of any part of this page insights supplement by Facebook shall not constitute waiver of rights. Any change to these usage terms, or waiver of these requested by us shall require written form and must be signed by Facebook.
This Page Insights Supplement shall only apply to processing of personal data in the area of application of the regulation (EU) 2016/679 (“GDPR”). In this Page Insights Supplement, “personal data”, “processing”, “processor”, “supervisory authority”, and “data subject” shall have the meanings assigned to these terms in the GDPR.
