V. Provision of our website and creation of log files

1. Description and scope of data processing

Each time our website is accessed, our IT system automatically collects data and information from the user's device.

The following data is collected:

Information about the browser type and the version used
Internet service provider of the user
IP address of the user
Date and time of access
Websites from which the user's system accesses our website (referrer URL)
Web pages that are accessed by the user's system via our website

This data is stored in the log files of our IT system. A storage of this data together with other personal data of the user does not take place.

2. Purpose of data processing

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

The storage of all the above data in log files is done to ensure the functionality of the website. In addition, we use the data to optimize the website and to ensure the security of our IT system. An evaluation of the data for marketing purposes does not take place in this context.

3. Legal basis for data processing

The legal basis for the temporary storage of the data and the log files is Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. f GDPR (legitimate interest).

4. Storage time

The data is deleted as soon as it is no longer required to achieve the purpose for which it was 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 made anonymous, so that an assignment to a data subject is no longer possible.

5. Right to object

We have an overriding legal interest in the collection of the above data and the storage of the data in log files, as this is absolutely necessary for the operation and provision of the website. The user can object to this. Whether the objection is successful must be determined as part of a balancing of interests.

VI. Hosting

Our website is hosted on servers of a service provider contracted by us.

Our service provider is:

1&1 IONOS SE, Elgendorfer Str. 57, 56410 Montabaur, Germany

The service provider's servers automatically collect and store information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits when you visit the website. The stored information is:

Information about the browser type and version used
Operating system used
Referrer URL
Host name of the accessing device
Date and time of the server request
IP address of the user

This data is not merged with other data sources. The collection of this data is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR (legitimate interest). Our legitimate interest for processing this data is to display our website without errors and to optimize its functions.

The location of the service provider's servers is geographically within the European Union (EU) or the European Economic Area (EEA).

VII. Use of cookies

1. Description and scope of data processing

When you visit our website, we use so-called cookies that can be stored on your device. Cookies are text files or information in a database that are stored on your device and assigned to the browser you are using, so that certain information can flow to the controller who sets the cookie.

3. Legal basis for data processing

The provisions of the Telecommunications Telemedia Data Protection Act (TTDSG) are applicable to the storage of information on the user's device and/or access to information already stored on the user's device.

If the setting and reading of cookies are technically necessary, the storage of and access to cookies on your terminal equipment will be carried out on the legal basis of Section 25 (2) No. 2 TTDSG.

Insofar as cookies are used that are technically non-necessary, this is only done on the basis of your express consent, which you can grant via the cookie banner.

Alternatively, you can prevent the storage of cookies by making the appropriate setting in your browser. Please note that the browser settings you make only affect the browser you are using.

VIII. Use of Google Analytics

1. Description and scope of data processing

We use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA and the representative in the Union Google Ireland Ltd, Gordon House, Barrow Street, D04 E5W5, Dublin, Ireland (hereinafter "Google"). Google Analytics examines, among other things, the origin of visitors, the time they spend on individual pages and the use of search engines and thus allows better monitoring of the success of advertising campaigns. Google sets a cookie on your computer. As a result, the following personal data can be stored and evaluated

the activity of the user (in particular which pages have been visited and on which elements have been clicked),
device and browser information (in particular the IP address and the operating system),
data about the advertisements displayed (in particular which advertisements were displayed and whether the user clicked on them) and
data from advertising partners (in particular pseudonymized user IDs).

We use Google Analytics (Universal Analytics) to evaluate your use of our website, to compile reports on your activities and to use other Google services related to the use of our website and the internet.

We have requested that Google anonymize IP addresses, which means that Google shortens your IP address as promptly as technically possible. However, it cannot be ruled out that your data will be transmitted to Google's servers in the USA.

On our behalf, Google will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of our website, compiling reports on website activity and providing other services relating to website activity and internet usage to us. You can obtain further information on the processing of data by Google here: https://policies.google.com/privacy?gl=DE&hl=en

2. Purpose of data processing

The use of Google Analytics (Universal Analytics) serves us to evaluate the use of our website as well as the targeted distribution of advertising to the users who have already expressed an initial interest through their visit to the site.

3. Legal basis for data processing

The legal basis for the processing of the users' personal data is the user's consent pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 p.1 lit. a GDPR.

4. Storage time

Your personal data will be stored for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this privacy policy or until you exercise your right of withdrawal.

5. Withdrawal of consent

You have the right to withdraw your consent to the use of Google Analytics at any time with effect for the future. The withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent until the withdrawal.

You can prevent the collection as well as the processing of your personal data by Google by preventing the storage of third-party cookies on your computer, using the "Do Not Track" function of a supporting browser, disabling the execution of script code in your browser or installing a script blocker such as NoScript (https://noscript.net/) or Ghostery (https://www.ghostery.com) in your browser.

You can also prevent the collection of data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) to Google and the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at the following link:

https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en

You can deactivate the use of your personal data by Google using the following link:

https://myadcenter.google.com/

For more information on how to object to and opt-out of Google, please visit: https://policies.google.com/privacy?gl=DE&hl=en

6. Disclaimer

Your personal data will also be transferred to the USA if you consent to the use of Google Analytics. There is no adequacy decision for the USA according to Art. 45 (3) GDPR. We would like to point out that data transfer without the existence of an adequacy decision entails risks to which we would like to draw your attention below:

Intelligence services in the USA take certain online identifiers (such as the IP address or unique identification numbers) as a starting point for monitoring individuals. In particular, it cannot be ruled out that these intelligence services have already collected information about you, with the help of which the data transmitted here can be traced back to you.

Providers of electronic communications services headquartered in the United States are subject to surveillance by U.S. intelligence agencies pursuant to 50 U.S. Code § 1881a ("FISA 702"). Accordingly, providers of electronic communications services headquartered in the U.S. have an obligation to provide personally identifiable information to U.S. authorities pursuant to 50 U.S. Code § 1881a, with no possible recourse available to you. Even encryption of data at the electronic communications service provider's data centers may not provide adequate protection because, with respect to imported data in its possession or custody or under its control, an electronic communications service provider has a direct obligation to provide access to or surrender such data. This obligation may expressly extend to the cryptographic keys without which the data cannot be read.

The fact that this is not merely a "theoretical risk" is demonstrated by the ECJ ruling of July 16, 2020 (Case C 311/18, ,,Schrems-II").

In order to minimize the risks described above, we have concluded guarantees with Google in the form of standard data protection clauses pursuant to Art. 46 (2) lit. c GDPR. A copy of the standard data protection clauses can be requested from us at any time.

In the case of a data transfer to third countries, the requirements of Chapter V (Art. 44-50) of the GDPR apply.

A transfer of personal data by us to a third country will only take place if the Commission has determined that the third country in question offers an adequate level of protection or on the basis of standard data protection clauses in conjunction with appropriate safeguards to ensure an adequate level of protection.

Upon request, we will provide you with further information on the identity of the recipients to whom we transfer personal data and on the standard data protection clauses concluded with them, if any.
