Principally, your personal data is forwarded to other controllers only if required for the fulfillment of a contractual obligation, or if we ourselves, or a third party, have a legitimate interest in the data transfer, or if you have given your consent. Additionally, data may be transferred to other controllers when we are obliged to do so due to statutory regulations or enforceable administrative or judicial orders.

  • Service Providers

We involve external service providers with tasks such as marketing services, programming, data hosting, and hotline services. We have chosen those service providers carefully and monitor them on a regular basis, especially regarding their diligent handling of and protection of the data that they store. All service providers are obliged to maintain confidentiality and to comply with the statutory provisions.

  • Transfer to Recipients outside the EEA

We might transfer personal data to recipients located outside the European Economic Area (EEA) into so-called third countries. In such cases, prior to the transfer we ensure that either the data recipient provides an appropriate level of data protection or that you have consented to the transfer.

  1. Duration of storage, retention periods

Principally, we store your data for as long as it is necessary to render our online offers and connected services or for as long as we have a legitimate interest in storing the data. In all other cases we delete your personal data apart from data we are obliged to store for the fulfillment of legal obligations (e.g. due to retention periods under the tax and commercial codes we are obliged to have documents such as contracts and invoices available for a certain period of time).

  1. Cookies

In the context of our online service, cookies and tracking mechanisms may be used. Cookies are small text files that may be stored on your device when visiting our online service. Tracking is possible using different technologies. We process information using pixel technology and/or during log file analysis.

  • Categories

Please note that using the tools might include transfer of your data to recipients outside of the European Economic Area (e.g. the USA). For more details in this respect please refer to the following description of the individual marketing tools:

  • Name: Google Analytics

Provider: Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland

Function: Analysis of user behavior (page retrievals, number of visitors and visits, downloads), creation of pseudonymous user profiles based on cross-device information of logged-in Google users (cross-device tracking), enrichment of pseudonymous user data with target group-specific information provided by Google, retargeting, UX testing, conversion tracking, and retargeting in conjunction with Google Ads

  1. Plugins

Our online offers include the use of plugins provided by various social and other networks.  These plugins are additional features made available by the network providers. As a default setting, these plugins are inactive.

If you do not wish the providers of the respective networks to receive data about your use of this online offer and possibly to store or further use this data, you should not activate the respective plugins.

Collection of data by providers

When a plugin is activated, your internet browser establishes a direct connection to the respective provider’s servers. Even if you do not have a user account with the provider or are not currently logged in to such an account, this connection notifies the respective provider that your internet browser has called up the corresponding page of our online offer. If you already have a user account with a provider of a network and are already logged in when you visit our websites, the operator of the respective network may be able to assign the visit to your personal user account as soon as you activate plugins. This may enable the provider to analyze your usage behavior and store it in a profile. In addition, your IP address and other data about your browser settings will be transmitted by your internet browser directly to a server of the respective provider and may be stored there.

Further processing of data by providers

Plugins are additional features made available by network providers. We therefore have no influence on the further processing of the data that the respective network providers’ plugins collect and store.
To find out more about the purpose and scope of each provider’s activities to collect, further process, and delete data, as well as about your respective rights and data protection options, please consult the respective provider’s privacy policy.
