2. Principles of data processing and storage period

2.1. Legal bases for the processing of personal data

Insofar as we obtain your consent for the processing of personal data, Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 (a) GDPR is the legal basis for the processing of personal data. Any consent can be revoked by you with effect for the future.

In the case of the processing of personal data that is necessary for the performance of a contract with you or your company, Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 (b) GDPR is the corresponding legal basis. This also applies to processing operations that already become relevant before the contract.

Insofar as the processing of your personal data is necessary for the fulfilment of one of our legal obligations, Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. c GDPR serves as the legal basis.

If the processing is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest of our company or a third party and your interests, fundamental rights and freedoms do not outweigh our legitimate interest, Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. f GDPR serves as the legal basis for the processing.

2.2. Overview of processing operations

The following overview summarizes the types of data processed and the purposes of their processing, and refers to the data subjects.

Types of data processed: inventory data, payment data, location data, contact data, content data, contract data, usage data, metadata, communication and procedural data.

Categories of data subjects: customers, prospects, communication partners, users, business partners and contractual partners.

Purposes of processing: Provision of contractual services and fulfilment of contractual obligations, contact requests and communication, security measures, direct marketing, reach measurement, office and organizational procedures, administration and response to enquiries, feedback, marketing, profiles with user-related information, provision of our online offer and user-friendliness, information technology infrastructure.

2.3. Storage and deletion of data

As a matter of principle, we only store personal data for as long as the specific purpose of storage requires it. If the purpose of storage ceases to exist, your data will be deleted or its processing restricted.

In addition, however, European regulations, applicable national laws or other regulations may require longer storage of the data processed by us. If these storage periods expire, we will delete your data or restrict the processing of it.

2.4. Recipients of data

We will generally only pass on your personal data to service providers, business partners and other third parties within the framework of the applicable data protection laws and inform you about this in accordance with legal requirements.

We may disclose personal data to service providers and require them to perform services on our behalf (order processing). In doing so, we observe the strict applicable national and European data protection regulations. The service providers are subject to our instructions and are subject to strict contractual restrictions regarding the processing of personal data. According to this, processing is only permitted to the extent that it is necessary for the performance of the services on our behalf or to comply with legal requirements. We determine in advance exactly what rights and obligations the service providers should have with regard to personal data.

We may disclose personal information to another third party if required to do so by law or legal process, or in order to provide the services we offer on the Site. We may also be required to provide information to a law enforcement agency or other authority. If it is necessary to share information with you in order to collaborate and provide services to you, or if you give your consent, we may also disclose information.

2.4.1. Categories of recipients

Personal data may be transferred to the following recipients or categories of recipients:

  • Recipients within the company (e.g. for purpose-specific processing within the responsible departments)
  • Cooperation partners with whom we provide services
  • External processors within the meaning of Art. 28 GDPR
  • Companies for which we provide the services
  • Courts, authorities or other state institutions, insofar as there are legal obligations
  • Tax auditor

3. Your rights

Insofar as we process your personal data, you are a “data subject” within the meaning of the GDPR. As a data subject, you have the following rights vis-à-vis us:

3.1. Right to information regarding processing

You can request information from us at any time within the framework of the statutory provisions as to whether personal data is being processed by us. If this is the case, you have the right to request information about the scope of data processing (cf. Art. 15 GDPR). Please note that the right to information may be limited in certain legal circumstances.

3.2. Right to rectification

You have a right to have your data corrected and/or completed by us if the personal data processed concerning you is incorrect or incomplete (cf. Art. 16 GDPR).

3.3. Right to restriction of processing

If the conditions for this are met, you can request the restriction of the processing of your personal data (cf. Art. 18 GDPR).

3.4. Right to erasure

You can request that we delete the personal data concerning you without undue delay, provided that the conditions for this are met. The right to erasure exists, for example: insofar as the processing is necessary (cf. Art. 17 GDPR).

3.5. Right to information

If you have made the right to rectification, erasure or restriction of processing vis-à-vis us, we are obliged to inform all recipients to whom the personal data concerning you have been disclosed of this correction or deletion of the data or restriction of processing, unless this proves impossible or involves disproportionate effort. The controller will inform you about these recipients if you request this (cf. Art. 19 GDPR).

3.6. Right to data portability

You have the right to receive the personal data concerning you that you have provided to us in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. In addition, you have the right to transmit this data to another company without hindrance from us, provided that the conditions for this are met (cf. Art. 20 GDPR).

3.7. Right to object

You have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR for reasons arising from your particular situation (Art. 21 para. 1 GDPR). The consequence of the objection is that we will no longer process the personal data concerning you, unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that outweigh your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves to assert, exercise or defend legal claims.

3.8. Right to revoke the declaration of consent under data protection law

If you have submitted a declaration of consent under data protection law, you can revoke it at any time. The withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent before the withdrawal.

3.9. Right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority

Without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority, in particular in the EU Member State of your residence, place of work or place of the alleged infringement, if you believe that the processing of personal data concerning you infringes applicable data protection laws.

4. Safety standards

We have implemented appropriate physical, technical, and administrative security standards to protect personal information from loss, misuse, alteration, or destruction. All service providers and affiliates are contractually obliged to maintain the confidentiality of personal data. In addition, they are not allowed to use the data for purposes that have not been authorized by us.

Because the security of your data is important, your entire visit will be handled over a secure TLS connection. If personal data is collected, the data transfer is also TLS-encrypted. The TLS encryption process protects your data from unauthorized access as it travels through the Internet.

5. International Data Transfers

Data processing in third countries: If we process data in a third country (i.e. outside the European Union (EU), the European Economic Area (EEA)) or if the processing takes place in the context of the use of third-party services or the disclosure or transfer of data to other persons, bodies or companies, this will only take place in accordance with the legal requirements. If the level of data protection in the third country has been recognised by means of an adequacy decision (Art. 45 GDPR), this serves as the basis for the data transfer. Otherwise, data transfers only take place if the level of data protection is otherwise ensured, in particular by means of standard contractual clauses (Art. 46 para. 2 lit. c) GDPR), explicit consent or in the case of contractual or legally required transfer (Art. 49 para. 1 GDPR). In addition, we will inform you of the basis of the third-country transfer for the individual providers from the third country, with the adequacy decisions taking precedence as the basis. Information on third-country transfers and existing adequacy decisions can be found in the EU Commission’s information service: https://commission.europa.eu/law/law-topic/data-protection/international-dimension-data-protection_en?prefLang=de.

EU-US Trans-Atlantic Data Privacy Framework: As part of the so-called “Data Privacy Framework” (DPF), the EU Commission has also recognized the level of data protection as secure for certain companies from the USA as part of the adequacy decision of 10.07.2023. The list of certified companies as well as further information about the DPF can be found on the website of the US Department of Commerce at https://www.dataprivacyframework.gov/. As part of the data protection notice, we will inform you which service providers we use are certified under the Data Privacy Framework.

2. Cookies, pixels and similar technologies

2.1. General information about cookies, pixels and similar technologies

When you use our website, different types of cookies are used and stored on your device. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your devices when you visit our website. We receive various information through the setting of cookies.

In addition to cookies, some services also use so-called “tracking pixels”. A pixel is a 1 x 1 pixel graphic that is not visible to the average viewer, but is still in the service. The pixel used can be used to track certain events, provided that you or the program you use download the graphic.

Some services use “device and browser fingerprinting”. Device and browser fingerprinting attempts to identify website visitors based on specific settings of the respective browser or the device used to access the website. Fingerprinting carried out in this way can include, for example, the following data:

  • the type of browser and its version;
  • the operating system of the terminal;
  • the language;
  • the time zone;
  • the activated plugins;
  • the fonts installed;
  • the screen resolution;
  • the CPU class;
  • the device memory;
  • and other values that can be derived based on the device or browser.

Insofar as we obtain consent for the storage of this information in your device, § 25 (1) TTDSG is the relevant legal basis for this. The same applies if the information that is already stored in your terminal equipment is accessed.

If the sole purpose of storage or access is to carry out the transmission of a message via a public telecommunications network, the legal basis is § 25 (2) no. 1 TTDSG.

If the storage or access is absolutely necessary for us to be able to provide a service that you expressly request, § 25 para. 2 no. 2 TTDSG is the relevant legal basis.

In the following, we will inform you about the legal bases relevant in the specific case. For the subsequent processing of personal data, we base the processing on one of the legal bases of the GDPR specified above.

We use the following types of cookies on our website.

Essential cookies

Certain cookies are technically necessary for the proper operation and functioning of our website and the proper display of content. These “essential cookies” cannot be deselected, because without them our website cannot be offered.

Statistics cookies

We use cookies to statistically record the use of our website, e.g. Measure the reach and attractiveness of our offer. You do not have to choose these cookies.

Marketing cookies

Marketing services are used by third-party vendors or publishers to display personalized advertisements. They do this by tracking visitors across websites.

External content

In order to expand and optimize the range of functions of our services and to make them more convenient for you to use, we integrate external content, such as maps and videos. The providers of this external content use cookies and similar technologies. You do not have to accept the cookies and similar technologies used for this purpose, but you will not be able to use the extended functions provided by the integrated external content on the website. You can also make a corresponding setting in your browser’s cookie settings. However, this could limit the range of functions of our offer.

2.2. Objection / Revocation

Cookies are stored on your device. You can decide at any time whether to delete cookies from your device. Through the settings in your browser, you can determine for yourself whether the transmission of cookies from your device to us should be deactivated, restricted or even deleted completely. If you deactivate all cookies for our website, it may no longer be possible to use all functions of the website to their full extent.

You also have the option of adjusting your cookie settings directly on our website. If you have given your consent to cookies and other technologies, you can revoke it at any time via our consent management platform by unchecking the corresponding box and clicking on the “Save” button.

2.3. YouTube Videos

Plugins from www.youtube.com are integrated on our website. We use embedded YouTube videos in advanced privacy mode. YouTube describes its way of working as follows: “With the extended data protection mode, you can embed YouTube videos without cookies being set to analyze user behavior. This means that no data on user activity is collected to personalize video playback. Instead, video recommendations are based on the current video. Videos played in enhanced privacy mode do not affect which videos are recommended to a user on YouTube.”

Cookies are therefore only set by YouTube when you actively activate the playback of an embedded video. Further information is available at https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/171780?hl=de.

When you access pages of our website with a YouTube plug-in, a connection to the YouTube servers is established and the plug-in is displayed on the website by means of a message to your browser. This transmits to the YouTube server which of our pages you have visited. If you are logged in to YouTube as a member, YouTube assigns this information to your personal user accounts of these platforms. When using these plugins, such as clicking/starting a video or sending a comment, this information is assigned to your YouTube user account, which you can only prevent by logging out before using the plugin.

C. SOCIAL MEDIA

1. Data processing by social media platforms in general

We operate publicly accessible company profiles on social media platforms to inform about our news, events and provide insights into the company. Furthermore, it is possible to contact you as a user/visitor from the social media platforms. You can find out on which platforms we operate a company profile in section 6 below.

Social media platforms such as Facebook, etc. can usually analyze your user behavior comprehensively when you visit their website or a website with integrated social media content (e.g. like buttons or advertising banners). By visiting our social media presences, numerous data protection-relevant processing operations are incurred. The respective social media platforms may provide us with anonymized statistics and insights into interactions with our posts, among other things. From the information, we can see whether our website has been reached by users/visitors from the respective platform via our company profile and, among other things, the age/gender groups (the latter only for logged-in users). We have no influence on the data transmitted to us and cannot stop this procedure on the part of the social media platforms. We use the data transmitted to us to optimize our contributions and our appearance and to be able to design them accordingly according to the interests of our website visitors.

The social media platforms store cookies on your device or collect your IP address. This serves to evaluate the data of the visit from the social media platform and our company profile for statistical and market research purposes and can help to optimize future advertising measures on the part of the social media platforms. For example, the social media platforms may themselves use the collected data about the user behavior of the users/visitors for the placement of personalized advertising, which can be displayed on all devices on which you are/were logged in.

If you are logged into a social media platform when you visit our company profile, the data of the visit to our company profile can be assigned to your account and linked to the data of this account. We would like to point out that it is possible that social media platforms may collect your data even if you do not have an account.

Depending on the platform, further processing operations may be carried out. Further details can be found in the terms of use and privacy policy of the respective social media platforms.

2. Legal basis

We have a legitimate interest in operating the company profile and processing your data in order to be able to design and implement the modern possibilities of information and communication accordingly. The legal basis in this case is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR.

If you contact us via the message function or via the e-mail address stored in our company profile, we will store your user profile ID or e-mail address as well as other data provided by you. The legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b GDPR, insofar as the contact is made for the initiation of a contract or contract-related topics. We also have a legitimate interest in processing your data in order to be able to respond to your request, Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR.

The analysis methods used by the social media platforms may be based on different legal bases, which must be specified by the operators of the social media platforms (e.g. consent within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR, consent can be revoked at any time).

3. Controller

According to a decision of the European Court of Justice, fan page operators (including us) together with the social media platform are joint controllers within the meaning of the GDPR.

Due to the collection and storage of data (and user data) by the social media platforms, you can also assert your rights against the respective platform. Your rights vis-à-vis us can be found in previous sections.

4. Storage period

The data will be deleted as soon as they are no longer required to achieve the purpose for which they were collected and the deletion is not precluded by any statutory or contractual archiving obligations. If you contact us via the message function or the e-mail address stored in the company profile, the conversation is over if it can be inferred from the circumstances that the relevant facts have been conclusively clarified.

With the respective buttons “no longer subscribe” and the removal of the “Follow button” (or “I don’t like this page anymore”), you can dissolve the connection to our company profile and the associated processing of your data.

We describe the storage period and which data is stored by the individual social media platforms below.

5. Type of data

We may process inventory data of your social media account with the social media platform (e.g. first and last name, address, e-mail address, telephone number, gender, age, date of birth), usage data (e.g. websites visited, interest in content) and content data (e.g. photos, videos, text entries).
