f) 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 which ensure that the personal data are not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.

 

(g) Controller or data controller

The controller or person responsible for processing is the natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which alone or jointly with others determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data.

3.General information on data processing

a) Scope of data processing

As a matter of principle, we process personal data of our users only insofar as this is necessary for the provision of a functional website as well as our contents and services. The processing of personal data of our users is regularly only carried out with the consent of the user. An exception applies in those cases in which obtaining prior consent is not possible for actual reasons and the processing of the data is permitted by legal regulations.

 

b) Legal basis for data processing

Insofar as we obtain the consent of the data subject for processing operations of personal data, Art. 6 (1) lit. a of the General Data Protection Regulation (EU-DSGVO) serves as the legal basis.

When processing personal data that is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, Art. 6 (1) lit. b EU-DSGVO serves as the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations that are necessary for the performance of pre-contractual measures. Insofar as processing of personal data is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Art. 6 (1) c EU-DSGVO serves as the legal basis.

In the event that vital interests of the data subject or another natural person make processing of personal data necessary, Art. 6 (1) (d) EU-DSGVO serves as the legal basis. If the processing is necessary to protect a legitimate interest of our company or a third party and the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not override the first-mentioned interest, Art. 6 (1) (f) EU GDPR serves as the legal basis for the processing.

 

c) Duration of processing

We will only process your data for as long as is necessary to fulfil the contract, maintain our relationship or as required by applicable law.

Different retention periods apply to the retention of business records. For data of relevance to tax law, a retention period of 10 years generally applies in accordance with the German Fiscal Code (Abgabenordnung), and 6 years for other data in accordance with the requirements of the German Commercial Code (Handelsgesetzbuch).

As long as you do not object, we will use your data within the framework of our trusting business relationship for our mutual benefit.

Should you wish your data to be deleted, we will do so without delay, provided that the deletion does not conflict with any legal obligations to retain data.

 

4. SSL Encryption

This website uses SSL encryption (Secure Socket Layer) for the transmission of data from your browser to our server and to servers that provide files that we embed on our website. You can recognise the presence of SSL encryption by the preceding text "https" in front of the address of the website you are calling up in your browser.

 

5. provision of the website and creation of log files

a) Description and scope of data processing

Each time our website is accessed, our system automatically collects data and information from the system of the calling end device. The following data is collected:

  • Browser type and version used
  • Operating system of the user
  • Internet service provider of the user
  • IP address of the user
  • Date and time of access
  • Websites from which the system accesses our website
  • Websites accessed by the user's system via our website

This data is also stored in the log files of our system. This data is not stored together with other personal data of the user.

 

b) Legal basis for data processing

The legal basis for the temporary storage of the data and the log files is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f EU-DSGVO.

 

c) Purposes of the processing

The temporary storage of the IP address by the system is necessary to enable delivery of the website to the user's computer. For this purpose, the user's IP address must remain stored for the duration of the session.

The storage in log files is done to ensure the functionality of the website. In addition, we use the data to optimise the website and to ensure the security of our information technology systems. An evaluation of the data for marketing purposes does not take place in this context.

These purposes are also our legitimate interest in data processing according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f EU-DSGVO.

 

d) Duration of processing

The data will be deleted as soon as they are no longer necessary to achieve the purpose for which they were collected. In the case of the collection of data for the provision of the website, this is the case when the respective session has ended.

In the case of storage of data in log files, this is the case after seven days at the latest. Storage beyond this period is possible. In this case, the IP addresses of the users are deleted or alienated so that an assignment of the calling client is no longer possible.

 

e) Possibility of objection and removal

The collection of data for the provision of the website and the storage of the data in log files is absolutely necessary for the operation of the website. Consequently, there is no possibility for the user to object.

 

6.use of cookies

a) Description and scope of data processing

Our website uses cookies. Cookies are text files that are stored in the internet browser or by the internet browser on the user's computer system. When a user calls up a website, a cookie may be stored on the user's operating system. This cookie contains a characteristic string of characters that enables the browser to be uniquely identified when the website is called up again.

We use cookies to make our website more user-friendly. Some elements of our website require that the calling browser can be identified even after a page change. We also use cookies on our website that enable an analysis of the user's surfing behaviour.

The user data collected in this way is pseudonymised by technical precautions. Therefore, it is no longer possible to assign the data to the calling user. The data is not stored together with other personal data of the users.

 

b) Legal basis for data processing

The legal basis for the processing of personal data using cookies is Art. 6 (1) lit. f EU-DSGVO.

 

c) Purpose of the processing

The purpose of using technically necessary cookies is to simplify the use of websites for users. Some functions of our website cannot be offered without the use of cookies. For these, it is necessary that the browser is recognised even after a page change. The user data collected through technically necessary cookies are not used to create user profiles.

Analysis cookies are used for the purpose of improving the quality of our website and its content.

Through the analysis cookies, we learn how the website is used and can thus constantly optimise our offer.

These purposes also constitute our legitimate interest in processing the personal data in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. f EU-DSGVO.

 

d) Duration of storage, possibility of objection and elimination

Cookies are stored on the user's computer and transmitted to our site by the user. Therefore, you as a user also have full control over the use of cookies. By changing the settings in your internet browser, you can deactivate or restrict the transmission of cookies. Cookies that have already been stored can be deleted at any time. This can also be done automatically. If cookies are deactivated for our website, it may no longer be possible to use all the functions of the website to their full extent.

 

7.Online marketing

a) Description and scope of data processing

On our website, we process personal data for online marketing purposes, which include, in particular, the display of promotional and other content (collectively, "Content") based on potential user interests and the measurement of its effectiveness.

For these purposes, so-called user profiles are created and stored in so-called cookies or similar procedures are used, by means of which information about the user relevant to the presentation of the aforementioned content is stored. This information may include, for example, content viewed, websites visited, online networks used, but also communication partners and technical information such as the browser used, the computer system used and information on usage times. If the user has consented to the collection of his or her location data, this may also be processed.

The IP address of the user is also stored. However, we use IP masking procedures (i.e. pseudonymisation by shortening the IP address) to protect the user. In general, no clear data of the user (such as e-mail addresses or names) are stored within the scope of the online marketing procedure, but pseudonyms. This means that the identity of the user is not known, but only the information stored in the user's profile. The information in the profile is usually stored in the cookies or by means of similar procedures. These cookies can later generally also be read on other websites that use the same online marketing procedure and analysed for the purpose of displaying content as well as supplemented with further data and stored on the server of the online marketing procedure provider.

Exceptionally, clear data can be assigned to the profile. This is the case if, for example, the user is a member of a social network whose online marketing procedures we use and the network links the user's profile with the aforementioned data. It should be noted that the user can make additional agreements with the providers, e.g. by giving consent as part of the registration process.

In principle, we only receive access to summarised information about the success of our advertisements. However, in the context of so-called conversion measurements, we can check which of our online marketing methods have led to a so-called conversion, i.e., for example, to a conclusion of a contract with us. The conversion measurement is used solely to analyse the success of our marketing measures.

 

b) Legal basis for data processing

If the user has given consent, the legal basis for the processing of personal data is Art. 6 (1) lit. a EU-DSGVO.

Otherwise, the legal basis for the processing of personal data is Art. 6 (1) lit. f EU-DSGVO, hence our legitimate interests (for example, the provision of efficient, economical and recipient-friendly services).

 

c) Purpose of processing

The purposes of the data processing are tracking (e.g. interest/behaviour-based profiling, use of cookies), remarketing, visit action evaluation, interest-based and behaviour-based marketing, profiling (creation of user profiles), conversion measurement (measurement of the effectiveness of marketing measures), reach measurement (e.g. access statistics, recognition of user profiles) and marketing campaigns. (e.g. access statistics, recognition of returning visitors), target group formation (determination of target groups relevant for marketing purposes or other output of content), cross-device tracking (cross-device processing of user data for marketing purposes), click tracking.

These purposes also constitute our legitimate interest in processing the personal data in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. f EU-DSGVO.

The purposes of data processing are

  • Tracking (e.g. interest/behavioural profiling, use of cookies)
  • Remarketing
  • Visit action evaluation
  • Interest-based and behavioural marketing
  • Profiling (creation of user profiles)
  • Conversion measurement (measuring the effectiveness of marketing measures)
  • Reach measurement (e.g. access statistics, recognition of returning visitors)
  • Target group formation (determination of target groups relevant for marketing purposes or other output of content)
  • Cross-device tracking (processing user data across devices for marketing purposes)
  • Click tracking

 

d) Duration of storage, possibility of objection and elimination

Cookies are stored on the user's computer and transmitted from it to our site. Therefore, you as a user also have full control over the use of cookies. By changing the settings in your internet browser, you can deactivate or restrict the transmission of cookies. Cookies that have already been stored can be deleted at any time. This can also be done automatically. If cookies are deactivated for our website, it may no longer be possible to use all functions of the website to their full extent.
