Privacy Notice

1. Introduction

With the following information, we would like to give you as a "data subject" an overview of the processing of your personal data by us and your rights under the data protection laws. In principle, it is possible to use our website without entering personal data. However, if you want to use special services of our enterprise via our website, processing of personal data could become necessary. If the processing of personal data is necessary and there is no legal basis for such processing, we will generally obtain your consent.

 

The processing of personal data, such as your name, address or e-mail address, is always in line with the German Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and in accordance with the country-specific data protection regulations applicable to " KRAUSE-Werk GmbH & Co KG". By means of this data protection declaration, we would like to inform you about the scope and purpose of the personal data collected, used and processed by us.

 

As the controller, we have implemented numerous technical and organisational measures to ensure the most complete protection possible for the personal data processed via this website. Nevertheless, internet-based data transmissions can always have security gaps, so that absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, you are also free to transmit personal data to us by alternative means, for example by telephone or by post.

 

You too can take simple and easy-to-implement measures to protect yourself against unauthorised access to your data by third parties. Therefore, we would like to give you some tips on how to handle your data securely:

  • Protect your account (login, user or customer account) and your IT system (computer, laptop, tablet or mobile device) with strong passwords.
  • Only you should have access to the passwords.
  • Make sure that you only ever use your passwords for one account (login, user or customer account).
  • Do not use one password for different websites, applications or online services.
  • Especially when using publicly accessible IT systems or IT systems shared with other people, the following applies: It is essential that you log out after each login to a website, an application or an online service.

 

Passwords should consist of at least 12 characters and be chosen so that they cannot be easily guessed. Therefore, they should not contain common words from everyday life, one's own name or names of relatives, but upper and lower case, numbers and special characters.

4. Definitions

The data protection declaration is based on the terms used by the European Directive and Ordinance Maker when enacting the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Our data protection declaration should be easy to read and understand for the public as well as for our customers and business partners. To ensure this, we would like to explain the terms used in advance.

 

We use the following terms, among others, in this privacy policy:

 

1. Personal data

Personal data means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. An identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person.

2. Data subject

A data subject is any identified or identifiable natural person whose personal data is processed by the data controller (our company).

3. Processing

Processing is any operation or set of operations which is performed upon personal data, whether or not by automatic means, such as collection, recording, organisation, filing, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure or destruction.

4. Restriction to processing

Restriction of processing is the marking of stored personal data with the aim of limiting their future processing.

5. Profiling

Profiling is any form of automated processing of personal data which consists in using such personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to analyse or predict aspects relating to that natural person's performance at work, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behaviour, location or change of location.

6. Pseudonymisation

Pseudonymisation is the processing of personal data in such a way that the personal data can no longer be attributed to a specific data subject without the use of additional information, provided that such additional information is kept separately and is subject to technical and organisational measures to ensure that the personal data are not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.

7. Data processor

Processor means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which processes personal data on behalf of the controller.

8. Recipient

A recipient is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body to whom personal data are disclosed, whether or not a third party. However, public authorities that may receive personal data in the context of a specific investigative task under Union or Member State law shall not be considered as recipients.

9. Third parties

Third party means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body other than the data subject, the controller, the processor and the persons authorised to process the personal data under the direct responsibility of the controller or the processor.

10. Consent

Consent means any freely given and informed indication of the data subject's wishes in the form of a declaration or other unambiguous affirmative act by which the data subject signifies his or her agreement to the processing of personal data relating to him or her.

 

5. Legal basis for processing

Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR (in conjunction with § 25 para. 1 TTDSG) serves our company as the legal basis for processing operations in which we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose.

 

If the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which you are a party, as is the case, for example, with processing operations that are necessary for the delivery of goods or the provision of another service or consideration, the processing is based on Art. 6 (1) lit. b GDPR. The same applies to processing operations that are necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures, for example in the case of enquiries about our products or services.

 

If our company is subject to a legal obligation by which the processing of personal data becomes necessary, such as for the fulfilment of tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6 (1) lit. c GDPR.

 

In rare cases, the processing of personal data might be necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor were to be injured on our premises and as a result his or her name, age, health insurance details or other vital information had to be passed on to a doctor, hospital or other third party. In this case, the processing would be based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. d GDPR.

 

Ultimately, processing operations could be based on Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR. Processing operations which are not covered by any of the aforementioned legal bases are based on this legal basis if the processing is necessary for the protection of a legitimate interest of our company or a third party, provided that the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject are not overridden. Such processing operations are permitted to us in particular because they were specifically mentioned by the European legislator. In this respect, it took the view that a legitimate interest could be assumed if you are a customer of our company (recital 47 sentence 2 GDPR).

 

6. Disclosure of data to third parties

Your personal data will not be transferred to third parties for purposes other than those listed below.

 

We will only share your personal data with third parties if:

 

  1. You have given us your express consent to do so in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR,
  2. the disclosure is permissible in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR to protect our legitimate interests and there is no reason to assume that you have an overriding interest worthy of protection in the non-disclosure of your data,
  3. in the event that there is a legal obligation for the disclosure pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR, as well as
  4. this is legally permissible and necessary according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR for the processing of contractual relationships with you.

 

In order to protect your data and to enable us to transfer data to third countries (outside the EU/EEA) if necessary, we have concluded commissioned processing agreements based on the standard contractual clauses of the European Commission. If the standard contractual clauses are not sufficient to establish an adequate level of security, your consent pursuant to Article 49 (1) a) of the GDPR may serve as the legal basis for the transfer to third countries. This may not apply to data transfers to third countries for which the European Commission has issued an adequacy decision pursuant to Article 45 of the GDPR.

 

7. Technology

7.1 SSL/TLS encryption

This site uses SSL or TLS encryption to ensure the security of data processing and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders, login data or contact enquiries that you send to us as the operator. You can recognise an encrypted connection by the fact that there is a "https://" instead of a "http://" in the address line of the browser and by the lock symbol in your browser line.

 

We use this technology to protect the data you submit.

 

7.2 Data collection when visiting the website

When using our website for information purposes only, i.e. when not registering or otherwise transmitting information to us, we only collect data that your browser transmits to our server (in so-called "server log files"). Our website collects a series of general data and information with every call-up of a page by you or by an automated system. This general data and information is stored in the server log files. The following can be recorded

 

  1. Browser types and versions used,
  2. the operating system used by the accessing system,
  3. the website from which an accessing system arrives at our website (so-called referrer),
  4. the sub-websites which are accessed via an accessing system on our website,
  5. the date and time of access to the website,
  6. an Internet Protocol (IP) address; and,
  7. the Internet service provider of the accessing system.

 

When using this general data and information, we do not draw any conclusions about your person. Rather, this information is required in order to

 

  1. to deliver the contents of our website correctly,
  2. to optimise the content of our website and the advertising for it,
  3. to ensure the permanent operability of our IT systems and the technology of our website, and
  4. to provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for prosecution in the event of a cyber attack.

 

Therefore, the data and information collected will be used by us for statistical purposes only and for the purpose of increasing the data protection and data security of our enterprise so as to ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data we process. The data of the server log files are stored separately from any personal data provided by a data subject.

 

The legal basis for data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. f GDPR. Our legitimate interest follows from the data collection purposes listed above.

 

7.3 Hosting by DomainFactory

We host our website at DomainFactory GmbH, Oskar-Messter-Str. 33, 85737 Ismaning (hereinafter referred to as DomainFactory).

 

When you visit our website, your personal data (e.g. IP addresses in log files) are processed on DomainFactory's servers.

 

The use of DomainFactory is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. We have a legitimate interest in the most reliable presentation and provision as well as safeguarding of our website.

 

We have concluded a contract for commissioned processing (AVV) in accordance with Art. 28 GDPR with DomainFactory. This is a contract required by data protection law, which ensures that DomainFactory only processes the personal data of our website visitors in accordance with our instructions and in compliance with the GDPR.

 

You can find more information on DomainFactory's privacy policy at: https://www.df.eu/de/datenschutz/

 

8. Cookies

8.1 General information about cookies

Cookies are small files that are automatically created by your browser and stored on your IT system (laptop, tablet, smartphone or similar) when you visit our site.

 

Information is stored in the cookie that results in each case from the context of the specific end device used. However, this does not mean that we gain direct knowledge of your identity.

 

The use of cookies serves to make the use of our offer more pleasant for you. We use so- called session cookies to recognise that you have already visited individual pages of our website. These are automatically deleted after you leave our site.

 

In addition, we also use temporary cookies to optimise user-friendliness, which are stored on your end device for a certain fixed period of time. If you visit our site again to use our services, it is automatically recognised that you have already been with us and which entries and settings you have made so that you do not have to enter them again.

 

On the other hand, we use cookies to statistically record the use of our website and to evaluate our offer for the purpose of optimising it for you. These cookies enable us to automatically recognise that you have already visited our website when you visit it again. The cookies set in this way are automatically deleted after a defined period of time. The respective storage period of the cookies can be found in the settings of the consent tool used.

 

8.2 Legal basis for the use of cookies

The data processed by the cookies, which are required for the proper functioning of the website, are thus necessary to protect our legitimate interests as well as those of third parties in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR.

 

For all other cookies, you must have given your consent to this within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR via our opt-in cookie banner.

 

9. Contents of our website

9.1 Contact/contact form

Personal data is collected when contacting us (e.g. via contact form or e-mail). Which data is collected in the case of the use of a contact form can be seen from the respective contact form. This data is stored and used exclusively for the purpose of answering your request or for contacting you and the associated technical administration. The legal basis for processing the data is our legitimate interest in responding to your request in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR. If your contact is aimed at concluding a contract, the additional legal basis for processing is Art. 6 (1) lit. b GDPR. Your data will be deleted after final processing of your request; this is the case if it can be inferred from the circumstances that the matter in question has been conclusively clarified and the deletion does not conflict with any statutory retention obligations.

 

9.2 Services/digital goods

We only transmit personal data to third parties if this is necessary for the processing of the contract, for example to the credit institution commissioned with the processing of payments.

 

No further transmission of data will take place or only if you have expressly consented to the transmission. Your data will not be passed on to third parties without your express consent, for example for advertising purposes.

 

The basis for data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR, which permits the processing of data for the fulfilment of a contract or pre-contractual measures.

 

9.3 Application management/job exchange

We collect and process the personal data of applicants for the purpose of processing the application procedure. The processing may also take place electronically. This is particularly the case if an applicant submits the relevant application documents to us electronically, for example by e-mail or via a web form located on the website. If we conclude an employment or service contract with an applicant, the transmitted data will be stored for the purpose of processing the employment relationship in compliance with the statutory provisions. If we do not conclude a contract with the applicant, the application documents are automatically deleted two months after notification of the rejection decision, provided that no other legitimate interests on our part oppose deletion. Another legitimate interest in this sense is, for example, a duty to provide evidence in proceedings under the General Equal Treatment Act (AGG).

 

The legal basis for processing your data is Art. 88 GDPR in conjunction with. § 26 para. 1 BDSG as well as Art. 6 para.1 lit. b) GDPR.

 

9.4 Facebook Connect

On our website, you can use the social plugin "Facebook Connect" of the social network Facebook, which is operated by Meta Platforms Inc. (formerly Facebook Inc.), 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA ("Meta"), to create a customer account or to register, using the so-called single sign-on technology, if you have a Facebook profile. You can recognise the social plugins from "Facebook Connect" on our website by the blue button with the Facebook logo and the inscription "Log in with Facebook" or "Connect with Facebook" or "Log in with Facebook" or "Sign in with Facebook".

 

When you call up a page of our website that contains such a plugin, your browser establishes a direct connection to Meta's servers. The content of the plugin is transmitted by Facebook directly to your browser and integrated into the page. Through this integration, Facebook receives the information that your browser has called up the corresponding page of our website, even if you do not have a Facebook profile or are not currently logged in to Facebook. This information (including your IP address) is transmitted by your browser directly to a Meta server in the USA and stored there. These processing operations are only carried out when explicit consent is given in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR.

 

By using this "Facebook Connect" button on our website, you also have the option of logging in or registering on our website using your Facebook user data. Only if you give your express consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR prior to the registration process on the basis of a corresponding notice about the exchange of data with Facebook, will we receive the general and publicly accessible information stored in your profile when using the "Facebook Connect" button from Facebook, depending on your personally made data protection settings at Facebook. This information includes the user ID, name, profile picture, age and gender.

 

We would like to point out that, following changes to Facebook's data protection conditions and terms of use, there may also be a transfer of your profile pictures, the user IDs of your friends and the friends list if these have been marked as "public" in your privacy settings on Facebook. The data transmitted by Facebook will be stored and processed by us for the creation of a user account with the necessary data, if these have been released by you on Facebook for this purpose (title, first name, last name, address data, country, e-mail address, date of birth). Conversely, data (e.g. information on your surfing or purchasing behaviour) may be transferred from us to your Facebook profile on the basis of your consent.

 

The consent given can be revoked at any time by sending a message to the responsible person named at the beginning of this declaration.

 

For the purpose and scope of the data collection and the further processing and use of the data by Facebook, as well as your rights in this regard and setting options for protecting your privacy, please refer to Facebook's privacy policy: https://www.facebook.com/policy.php.

 

If you do not want Facebook to assign the data collected via our website directly to your Facebook profile, you must log out of Facebook before visiting our website. You can also completely prevent the loading of Facebook plugins with add-ons for your browser, e.g. with "Adblock Plus" (https://adblockplus.org/).

 

10. Newsletters

10.1 Newsletter dispatch to existing customers

If you have provided us with your e-mail address when purchasing goods or services, we reserve the right to regularly send you offers for similar goods or services to those already purchased from our range by e-mail. In accordance with Section 7 (3) of the German Unfair Competition Act (UWG), we do not need to obtain your separate consent for this. In this respect, the data processing is carried out solely on the basis of our legitimate interest in personalised direct advertising in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR. If you have initially objected to the use of your e-mail address for this purpose, we will not send you any e-mails. You are entitled to object to the use of your e-mail address for the aforementioned advertising purpose at any time with effect for the future by notifying the responsible person named at the beginning. This will only incur transmission costs for you according to the basic rates. After receipt of your objection, the use of your e-mail address for advertising purposes will cease immediately.

 

10.2 Marketing newsletter

On our website, you are given the opportunity to subscribe to our company newsletter. Which personal data is transmitted to us when you order the newsletter can be seen from the input mask used for this purpose.

 

We inform our customers and business partners about our offers at regular intervals by means of a newsletter. The newsletter of our company can only be received by you if

 

  1. you have a valid e-mail address and
  2. you have registered to receive the newsletter.

 

For legal reasons, a confirmation email is sent to the email address you entered for the first time for the newsletter dispatch using the double opt-in procedure. This confirmation email is used to check whether you, as the owner of the email address, have authorised receipt of the newsletter.

 

When you register for the newsletter, we also store the IP address of the IT system used by you at the time of registration, as well as the date and time of registration, which is assigned by your internet service provider (ISP). The collection of this data is necessary in order to be able to trace the (possible) misuse of your e-mail address at a later date and therefore serves our legal protection.

 

The personal data collected in the context of a registration for the newsletter is used exclusively for sending our newsletter. Furthermore, subscribers to the newsletter could be informed by e-mail if this is necessary for the operation of the newsletter service or a related registration, as could be the case in the event of changes to the newsletter offer or changes in the technical circumstances. No personal data collected as part of the newsletter service will be passed on to third parties. You can cancel your subscription to our newsletter at any time. The consent to the storage of personal data that you have given us for the newsletter dispatch can be revoked at any time. For the purpose of revoking consent, you will find a corresponding link in each newsletter. Furthermore, it is also possible to unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time directly on our website or to inform us of this in another way.

 

The legal basis for data processing for the purpose of sending newsletters is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR.

 

10.3 Newsletter tracking

Our newsletters contain so-called tracking pixels. A tracking pixel is a miniature graphic that is embedded in such emails that are sent in HTML format to enable log file recording and log file analysis. This allows a statistical evaluation of the success or failure of online marketing campaigns. By means of the embedded tracking pixel, the company can see whether and when an email has been opened by you and which links in the email have been called up by you.

 

Such personal data collected via the tracking pixels contained in the newsletters are stored and analysed by us in order to optimise the newsletter dispatch and to better adapt the content of future newsletters to your interests. This personal data will not be passed on to third parties. Data subjects are entitled at any time to revoke the separate declaration of consent given in this regard via the double opt-in procedure. After revocation, this personal data will be deleted by us. We automatically interpret an unsubscription from the receipt of the newsletter as a revocation.

 

Such an evaluation is carried out in particular in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interests in the display of personalised advertising, market research and/or needs-based design of our website.

 

11. Our activities in social networks

So that we can also communicate with you in social networks and inform you about our services, we are represented there with our own pages. If you visit one of our social media pages, we are jointly responsible for the processing operations triggered by this, within the meaning of Art. 26 GDPR, with the provider of the respective social media platform.

 

We are not the original provider of these pages, but only use them within the scope of the possibilities offered to us by the respective providers.

As a precaution, we therefore point out that your data may also be processed outside the European Union or the European Economic Area. Use may therefore be associated with data protection risks for you, as it may be more difficult to protect your rights, e.g. to information, deletion, objection, etc., and the processing in the social networks often takes place directly for advertising purposes or for the analysis of user behaviour by the providers, without this being able to be influenced by us. If usage profiles are created by the provider, cookies are often used or the usage behaviour is assigned to your own member profile of the social networks.

 

The described processing of personal data is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest and the legitimate interest of the respective provider in order to be able to communicate with you in a timely manner or to inform you about our services. If you have to give your consent to data processing as a user with the respective providers, the legal basis refers to Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR in conjunction with Art. 7 GDPR. Art. 7 GDPR.

 

As we do not have access to the providers' databases, we would like to point out that it is best to exercise your rights (e.g. to information, correction, deletion, etc.) directly with the respective provider. Further information on the processing of your data in the social networks is listed below under the respective social network provider used by us:

12. Social media plugins

12.1 Facebook plugin

We have integrated components of the company Facebook on this website. Facebook is a social network.

 

A social network is a social meeting place operated on the Internet, an online community that usually allows users to communicate and interact with each other in virtual space. A social network can serve as a platform for exchanging opinions and experiences or enables the internet community to provide personal or company-related information. Facebook allows social network users to create private profiles, upload photos and network via friend requests, among other things.

Each time you call up one of the individual pages of this website that is operated by us and on which a Facebook component (Facebook plugin) has been integrated, the internet browser on your IT system is automatically prompted by the respective Facebook component to download a representation of the corresponding Facebook component from Facebook. A complete overview of all Facebook plugins can be found at https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/?locale=de_DE. Within the scope of this technical procedure, Facebook receives information about which specific sub-page of our website is visited by you.

 

If you are logged in to Facebook at the same time, Facebook recognises which specific subpage of our website you are visiting each time you visit our website and for the entire duration of your respective stay on our website. This information is collected by the Facebook component and assigned to the respective Facebook account by Facebook. If you click on one of the Facebook buttons integrated on our website, for example the "Like" button, or if you post a comment, Facebook assigns this information to your personal Facebook user account and stores this personal data.

 

Facebook always receives information via the Facebook component that you have visited our website if you are logged into Facebook at the same time as calling up our website; this takes place regardless of whether you have clicked on the Facebook component or not. If you do not want this information to be transmitted to Facebook, you can prevent it from being transmitted by logging out of your Facebook account before accessing our website.

 

The data policy published by Facebook, which can be accessed at https://facebook.com/about/privacy/, provides information on the collection, processing and use of personal data by Facebook. It also explains which setting options Facebook offers to protect privacy. In addition, various applications are available that make it possible to suppress the transmission of data to Facebook. You can use such applications to suppress the transmission of data to Facebook.

 

12.2 Instagram plugin

The operating company of the Instagram services is Instagram LLC, 1 Hacker Way, Building 14 First Floor, Menlo Park, CA, USA.

 

Each time you call up one of the individual pages of this website that is operated by us and on which an Instagram component (Instagram button) has been integrated, the internet browser on your IT system is automatically prompted by the respective Instagram component to download a representation of the corresponding component from Instagram. As part of this technical process, Instagram receives information about which specific subpage of our website you are visiting.

 

If you are logged into Instagram at the same time, Instagram recognises which specific subpage you are visiting each time you call up our website and for the entire duration of your respective stay on our website. This information is collected by the Instagram component and assigned to your Instagram account by Instagram. If you click on one of the Instagram buttons integrated on our website, the data and information thus transmitted will be assigned to your personal Instagram user account and stored and processed by Instagram.

 

Instagram always receives information via the Instagram component that you have visited our website if you are logged into Instagram at the same time as calling up our website; this takes place regardless of whether you have clicked on the Instagram component or not. If you do not want this information to be transmitted to Instagram, you can prevent the transmission by logging out of your Instagram account before accessing our website.

Further information on the LinkedIn-plugins can be found at https://developer.linkedin.com/plugins. As part of this technical procedure, LinkedIn receives information about which specific subpage of our website you have visited.

 

If you are logged in to LinkedIn at the same time, LinkedIn recognises which specific subpage of our website you are visiting each time you access our website and for the entire duration of your respective stay on our website. This information is collected by the LinkedIn component and assigned to your LinkedIn account by LinkedIn. If you click on a LinkedIn button integrated on our website, LinkedIn assigns this information to your personal LinkedIn user account and stores this personal data.

13.4 Google Analytics Remarketing

We have integrated Google Remarketing services on this website. The company operating the Google Remarketing services is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. Google Remarketing is a function of Google AdWords that enables a company to display advertisements to Internet users who have previously visited the company's website. The integration of Google Remarketing thus allows a company to create user-related advertising and consequently to display interest-relevant advertisements to the Internet user.

 

The purpose of Google Remarketing is the display of interest-relevant advertising. Google Remarketing enables us to display advertisements via the Google advertising network or to have them displayed on other websites, which are tailored to the individual needs and interests of internet users.

 

Google Remarketing sets a cookie on the IT system of the data subject. By setting the cookie, Google is able to recognise the visitor to our website when he or she subsequently visits websites that are also members of the Google advertising network. Each time you visit a website on which the Google Remarketing service has been integrated, your internet browser automatically identifies itself to Google. As part of this technical process, Google obtains knowledge of personal data, such as your IP address or surfing behaviour, which Google uses, among other things, to display interest-relevant advertising.

 

The cookie is used to store personal information, such as the websites you visit. Each time you visit our website, personal data, including your IP address, is transmitted to Google in the United States of America. This personal data is stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may pass on this personal data collected via the technical process to third parties.

 

These processing operations are only carried out when explicit consent is given in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR.

Among other things, data is collected about the website from which a data subject has accessed a website (so-called referrer), which sub-pages of the website have been accessed or how often and for how long a sub-page has been viewed. This is used to optimise the website and for cost- benefit analysis of internet advertising.

 

The software is operated on the server of the controller and the log files, which are sensitive in terms of data protection law, are stored exclusively on this server.

 

Matomo sets a cookie on your IT system. Setting the cookie enables us to analyse the use of our website. Each time one of the individual pages of this website is called up, the internet browser on your IT system is automatically prompted by the Matomo component to transmit data to our server for the purpose of online analysis. As part of this technical procedure, we obtain knowledge of personal data, such as the IP address of the person concerned, which we use, among other things, to trace the origin of visitors and clicks.

 

By means of the cookie, personal information, for example the access time, the location from which an access originated and the frequency of visits to our website are stored. Each time you visit our website, this personal data, including the IP address of the internet connection you are using, is transmitted to our server. This personal data is stored by us. We do not pass on this personal data to third parties.

 

These processing operations are only carried out when explicit consent is given in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR.

We use Google Maps (API) on our website. The operating company of Google Maps is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. Google Ireland Limited is part of the Google group of companies with headquarters at 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. Google Maps is a web service for displaying interactive (land) maps in order to visually present geographical information. By using this service, for example, our location can be shown to you and a possible journey can be made easier.

 

Already when calling up those sub-pages in which the map of Google Maps is integrated, information about your use of our website (such as your IP address) is transmitted to Google servers in the USA and stored there. In addition, Google Maps reloads the Google Web Fonts. The provider of the Google WebFonts is also Google Ireland Limited. When you call up a page that integrates Google Maps, your browser loads the web fonts required to display Google Maps into your browser cache. For this purpose, too, the browser you use establishes a connection to Google's servers. In this way, Google learns that our website has been accessed via your IP address. This occurs regardless of whether Google provides a user account via which you are logged in or whether no user account exists. If you are logged in to Google, your data will be directly assigned to your account. If you do not want your data to be associated with your Google profile, you must log out of your Google user account. Google stores your data (even for users who are not logged in) as usage profiles and evaluates them. You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles, and you must contact Google to exercise this right.

 

If you do not agree to the future transmission of your data to Google in the context of the use of Google Maps, you also have the option of completely deactivating the Google Maps web service by switching off the JavaScript application in your browser. Google Maps and thus also the map display on this website can then not be used.

 

These processing operations are only carried out if express consent has been given in accordance with Art. 6 (1) a GDPR.

 

You can view Google's terms of use at https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/terms/regional.html and the additional terms of use for Google Maps at https://www.google.com/intl/de_US/help/terms_maps.html.

With this tool, "website tags" (i.e. keywords that are integrated into HTML elements) can be implemented and managed via an interface. By using the Google Tag Manager, we can automatically track which button, link or personalised image you have actively clicked on and can then record which contents of our website are of particular interest to you.

 

The tool also triggers other tags, which in turn may collect data. Google Tag Manager does not access this data. If you have made a deactivation at domain or cookie level, this remains in place for all tracking tags that are implemented with Google Tag Manager.

 

These processing operations are only carried out if express consent has been given in accordance with Art. 6 (1) a GDPR.
