Data Protection Statement of HGH Hotelgesellschaft mbH

 

We appreciate you visiting our websites and we thank you for your interest in our hotel. Protection of personal data is a very important issue for us. Therefore, the processing of personal data of a data subject, for instance of names, postal or e-mail addresses and phone numbers, is carried out in accordance with the applicable European and national legislation.

 

If data processing is necessary, but there is no legal basis for such processing, we generally request a consent from the data subject.

You can revoke your declaration of consent with future effect at any time. Please contact then the controller. Contact information is indicated at the end of this data protection statement.

 

In the following chapters, our company HGH Hotelgesellschaft mbH (hereinafter called “our company”, “we”, “us” etc.) would like to inform the general public about nature, extent and purpose of the data processed. In this data protection statement the persons concerned shall furthermore be informed of the rights granted to them.

 

Definitions

 

The data protection statement of our company is based on the terms, which the European legislative and regulatory authority uses in the EU General Data Protection Regulation (hereinafter called “GDPR”). Our data protection statement aims to be easy to read and to understand by general public as well as by our customers or business partners. To guarantee this we shall first explain the terms used.

 

We use in this data protections statement and on our internet homepage, inter alia, following terminology:

Personal data means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person ('data subject'). 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.

 

Data subject means any identified or identifiable natural person whose personal data is processed by the party responsible for the processing.

 

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

 

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

 

Profiling means any form of automated processing of personal data consisting of the use of personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to analyse or predict aspects concerning that natural person's performance at work, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behaviour, location or movements.

 

Pseudonymisation means the processing of personal data in such a manner 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.

 

Controller or the party responsible for the processing means 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. Where the purposes and means of such processing are determined by Union or Member State law, the controller or the specific criteria for its nomination may be provided for by Union or Member State law.

 

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

 

Recipient means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or another body, to which the personal data are disclosed, whether a third party or not. However, public authorities which may receive personal data in the framework of a particular inquiry in accordance with Union or Member State law shall not be regarded as recipients.

 

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

 

Consent of the data subject means any freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous indication of the data subject's wishes by which he or she, by a statement or by a clear affirmative action, signifies agreement to the processing of personal data relating to him or her.

Right to rectification: Every data subject shall have the right to obtain from the controller without undue delay the rectification of inaccurate personal data concerning him or her. Further, taking into account the purposes of the processing, the data subject shall also have the right to have incomplete personal data completed, including by means of providing a supplementary statement.

If the data subject wishes to make use of this right of rectification, he or she can at any time contact the data processing controller.

 

Right to erasure (right to be forgotten): Every data subject shall have the right to obtain from the controller the erasure of personal data concerning him or her without undue delay, where one of the following grounds applies and data processing is not necessary:

  • The personal data are no longer necessary in relation to the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed.
  • The data subject withdraws consent on which the processing is based according to Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR, or Art. 9 Para. 2 lit. a GDPR, and where there is no other legal ground for the processing.

If the personal data have been made public by our company and if we as controller are obliged pursuant to Art. 17 Para 1 GDPR to erase the personal data, our company taking account of available technology and the cost of implementation, shall take reasonable steps, including technical measures, to inform other controllers which process the disclosed personal data that the data subject has requested from these other data controllers the erasure of all links to such personal data or of copies or replications of such personal data. This paragraph shall not apply if processing is necessary. The controller will then case-by-case make the necessary arrangements.

 

Right to restriction of processing: Each data subject affected by the processing of personal data shall have the right to request from the controller restriction of processing where one of the following condition applies:

  • The accuracy of the personal data is contested by the data subject, for a period enabling the controller to verify the accuracy of the personal data.
  • The processing is unlawful and the data subject opposes the erasure of the personal data and requests the restriction of their use instead.

  • The data subject has objected to processing pursuant to Art. 21 Para. 1 GDPR and the verification is pending, whether the legitimate grounds of the controller override those of the data subject.

 

If one of the abovementioned reasons is present and the data subject would like to request restriction of his or her personal data, which have been stored by us, he or she can at any time contact the controller. The restriction of processing will be effectuated without delay.

 

Right to data portability: Each data subject affected by the processing of personal data shall have the right to receive the personal data concerning him or her, which he or she has provided to a controller, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. He or she has also the right to transmit those data to another controller without hindrance from the controller to which the personal data have been provided, where the processing is based on consent pursuant to Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR or Art. 9 Para. 2 GDPR or on a contract pursuant to Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b GDPR and the processing is carried out by automated means. Right of data portability shall not apply to processing necessary for the performance of a task to be carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority delegated to the controller.

In order to enforce the right to data portability the data subject can at any time contact the controller.

 

Right to object: Each data subject affected by the processing of personal data shall have the right to object, on grounds relating to his or her particular situation, at any time to processing of personal data concerning him or her which is based on Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. e GDPR or Art. 6 Para. 1 lit f GDPR. This also applies to profiling based on those provisions.

Where personal data are processed by our company for direct marketing purposes, the data subject shall have the right to object at any time to processing of personal data concerning him or her for such marketing. This includes also profiling to the extent that it is related to such direct marketing.

Where personal data are processed for scientific or historical research purposes or statistical purposes pursuant to Art. 89 Para. 1 GDPR, the data subject, on grounds relating to his or her particular situation, shall have the right to make an objection to us against processing of personal data concerning him or her, unless the processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out for reasons of public interest.

 

In order to exercise the right to object, the data subject may directly contact the controller. In the context of the use of information society services, and notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC, the data subject may exercise his or her right to object by automated means using technical specifications.

 

Automated individual decision-making, including profiling: Each data subject affected by the processing of personal data shall have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects on him or her, or in a similar manner significantly affects him or her. The aforementioned right shall not apply, if the decision

  • is necessary for entering into, or performance of, a contract between the data subject and a data controller;
  • is authorised by Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject, and this legislation lays down suitable measures to safeguard the rights, freedoms and legitimate interests of the data subject; or
  • is based on explicit consent of the data subject

 

If the decision to enter into, or to perform, a contract between the data subject and the controller is required, or if the decision is made with the explicit consent of the data subject, our company shall implement suitable measures to safeguard the data subject’s rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, at least the right to obtain human intervention on the part of the controller, to express his or her point of view and to contest the decision.

If the data subject wishes to assert the right of automated individual decision-making, he or she can contact the controller at any time.

 

Right to revoke the declaration of consent: Each data subject affected by the processing of personal data shall have the right to withdraw his or her consent at any time.

The data protection supervisory authority responsible for us is:

The Hamburg Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information

Ludwig-Erhard-Str. 22, 7. OG

20459 Hamburg

Phone: +49 40 428 54 4040

Email: mailbox@datenschutz.hamburg.de

 

Cooperation with processors and third parties

 

If we disclose data to other people and companies (processors or third parties) as part of our processing, transmit them to them or otherwise grant them access to the data, this will only be done on the basis of legal permission (e.g. if the data is transmitted to third parties, as to payment service providers, in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b GDPR for the fulfillment of the contract), you have consented, a legal obligation provides for this or on the basis of our legitimate interests (e.g. when using agents, web hosts, etc.).

If we commission third parties to process data on the basis of a so-called "order processing contract", this is done on the basis of Art. 28 GDPR.

 

Routine deletion and blocking of personal data

The controller processes (in this connection also: stores) the personal data of the data subject only for the period necessary to achieve the purpose of the storage or,

if the processing is required by the European legislative and regulatory authorities, or laid down in another law or regulation to which the controller is liable.

If the purpose of the storage ceases to apply, or if a storage period prescribed by the European directives and regulations or by any other relevant legislator expires, the personal data will be routinely blocked or deleted in accordance with the statutory provisions.

 

Privacy in recruitment and in the application process

 

The controller collects and processes personal data for the purposes of the application procedure. The processing can also be done electronically. This is particularly the case where an applicant submits the corresponding documents to the controller by means of electronic communications, e.g. by e-mail. If the controller concludes a contract of employment with one applicant, the transmitted data are stored for the purpose of executing the employment relationship in compliance with the statutory provisions. If the controller does not conclude a contract of employment with any of the applicants, the application documents will automatically be deleted six months after the notification of letter of rejection, provided that deletion does not conflict with any other legitimate interests of the controller. In this context other legitimate interest means for instance a burden of proof in legal proceedings pursuant to the General Law on Equal Treatment (AGG).

 

Information on video surveillance in our properties

 

Video surveillance is a particularly intensive form of processing personal data. Almost everyone feels uncomfortable when they are under video surveillance. This is also referred to as "surveillance pressure". Not being exposed to this pressure is almost one of the basic human needs.

Another human need, however, is the desire for security. Individuals and communities, but also inanimate things such as objects and systems, derive great benefit from an environment that is free of security risks or dangers.

 

Video surveillance is subject to strict data protection requirements for good reasons. On the other hand, the security interests of the controller must also be fairly assessed. Because often these interests are not limited to the controller alone. Employees, interested parties, suppliers, customers, tenants, guests, visitors, etc. may also have a need for security, which can be satisfied by a moderate and sensible use of video surveillance.

 

Even if some of the following information is already mentioned elsewhere in this data protection declaration, we would like to list all the information in this section of the text as it can also be found in a detailed information sign for video surveillance (information sheet according to Art. 13 GDPR):

 

Name and contact details of controller and, if applicable, his representative:

To be found at the bottom of this Data Protection Statement.

 

Contact details of the data protection officer:

To be found at the bottom of this Data Protection Statement.

 

Purposes and legal basis of data processing:

Investigation and detection of criminal offences as well as other security-related events.

Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f EU General Data Protection Regulation.

 

Legitimate interests pursued:

Safety of employees, suppliers, guests, visitors, etc.

Protection of property, exercise of domiciliary rights.

 

Duration of storage or criteria for determining the duration:

In our properties, image data is usually deleted after 72 hours at the latest, insofar as the purpose of the storage has also ceased to apply at this time.

In doing so, we follow a recommendation of the independent data protection authorities of the federal and state governments (Data Protection Conference - DSK).

 

With a storage period of 72 hours, according to the DSK's justification, the supervisor can regularly pursue his security interests, while at the same time the interests of the data subjects worthy of protection remain protected.

If necessary, a special monitoring purpose may justify longer storage. However, this must be adequately justified.

 

Recipients or categories of recipients of the data (if data transfer takes place):

The data controller will not transfer the personal data to a third country or an international organisation.

 

Information on the rights of the data subject

See also the section "Rights of the data subject" at the top of this Data Protection Statement. For video surveillance in summary:

The data subject has the right to obtain confirmation from the controller as to whether personal data concerning him or her are being processed; if this is the case, he or she has a right of access to such personal data and to the information specified in Article 15 of the GDPR.

 

The data subject has the right to obtain from the controller the rectification without delay of inaccurate personal data concerning him or her and, where applicable, the completion of incomplete personal data (Article 16 GDPR).

 

The data subject has the right to obtain from the controller the erasure without delay of personal data concerning him or her, where one of the grounds listed in detail in Article 17 of the GDPR applies, e.g. where the data are no longer needed for the purposes pursued (right to erasure).

 

The data subject has the right to request the controller to restrict processing if one of the conditions listed in Art. 18 GDPR applies, e.g. if the data subject has objected to the processing, for the duration of the controller's review.

 

The data subject shall have the right to object at any time, on grounds relating to his or her particular situation, to the processing of personal data concerning him or her. The controller shall then no longer process the personal data unless it can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override the interests, rights and freedoms of the data subject, or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims (Article 21 GDPR).

 

Without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, any data subject shall have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority if the data subject considers that the processing of personal data relating to him or her infringes the GDPR (Art. 77 GDPR). The data subject may exercise this right before a supervisory authority in the Member State of his or her residence, place of work or the place of the alleged infringement. In Hamburg, the competent supervisory authority is:

 

The Hamburg Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information

Ludwig-Erhard-Str. 22, 7. OG

20459 Hamburg

Phone: +49 40 428 54 4040

Security of personal data

 

Our company shall take numerous technical and organizational measures in order to protect your personal data against accidental or illegal destruction, alteration, loss, unlawful disclosure or unauthorized access.

 

Nevertheless, for instance internet-based data transfer can principally bear gaps in the security, and therefore absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, any data subject is free to communicate personal data to us in an alternative way, for instance by telephone.

 

Employees

 

Our employees regularly take part in data protection training and have been committed to confidentiality in accordance with the GDPR.

 

Website Encryption

 

This site uses SSL- or rather TLS-encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as the requests you send to us as the site operator. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from "http: //" to "https: //" and by the lock symbol in the browser line.

 

If encryption is activated, the data that you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

 

Collection of general data and information

 

Our website collects a number of general data and information each time the website is accessed by data subject or an automated system. This general data and information is stored in the log files of the server. Following data can be collected:

  • browser types and versions used
  • operating system used by the accessing computer
  • website from which an accessing system gets to our website (so called referrers)
  • sub-websites, which are accessed via an accessing system on our website
  • date and time of access to our website
  • web protocol address (IP address)
  • Internet service provider of the accessing system
  • other similar data and information, which is used to protect our information technology systems against possible attacks

 

When using this general data and information, our company does not draw any conclusions about the data subject. In fact, this information is needed in order:

  • to deliver the contents of our website correctly
  • to optimize the content of our website as well as possibly the advertising for it
  • to ensure long-term functionality of our information technology systems and of the technology on our website
  • to provide law enforcement authorities with necessary information related to criminal prosecution in case of a cyberattack

 

This collected data and information is therefore evaluated by our company on the one hand statistically, and on the other hand to increase data protection and data security in our company, and last but not least to ensure the best possible level of protection for the personal data processed by us. The anonymous data of the server log files are stored separately from all personal data provided by the data subject.

This data is not amalgamated with other data sources.

 

This data is recorded on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the technically error-free presentation and optimization of his website - the server log files must be recorded for this.

 

Request by E-Mail, Phone or Fax

 

If you contact us by e-mail, phone or fax, your request, including all personal data resulting from it (name, request), will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of processing your request. We will not pass on this data without your consent.

 

This data is processed on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b GDPR, if your request is related to the fulfilment of a contract or is necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective processing of inquiries addressed to us (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR) if this was queried.

 

The data you send to us via contact requests will remain with us until you request deletion, revoke your consent to storage or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g. after your request has been processed). Mandatory statutory provisions - especially legal storage periods - remain unaffected.

 

Data transmission via web form

 

Data subject has an option to register on the website of the controller stating his or her personal data. During the registration process the respective entry windows indicate, which personal data are transmitted to the controller. The personal data entries made by the data subject are exclusively intended for internal use of the controller, this data is collected and stored for the purposes of own use. The controller can transmit the data to one or to several processor(s), e.g. to parcel service which also makes only internal use of the personal data and acts under the responsibility of the controller.

By registration on the website of the controller the following data is also stored: data subject’s IP address, which the internet service provider has assigned, the date and the exact time at the moment of the registration. These data are stored against the background of being the only way to prevent misuse of our services. If necessary, these data can enable clearing up offences or copyright infringements committed. Insofar it is necessary to store this data as to protect the controller. In general, these data are not transmitted to a third party, unless there is a legal obligation to a transmission, or the data transmission serves legal pursuit of rights or criminal prosecution.

 

When the data subject registers himself or herself on the website and voluntarily supplies personal data, it enables the controller to offer to him or her content and services, which can by the very nature of the issues only be offered to registered users.

 

This data is processed on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b GDPR, if your request is related to the fulfilment of a contract or is necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective processing of inquiries addressed to us (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR) if this was queried.

 

The data you send to us via contact requests will remain with us until you request deletion, revoke your consent to storage or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g. after your request has been processed). Mandatory statutory provisions - especially legal storage periods - remain unaffected.

 

eTermin

 

In order to make it easier to arrange appointments, "eTermin" can be used via this website. The provider of this service is eTermin GmbH, Im Wiesengrund 8, 8304 Wallisellen, Switzerland (hereinafter referred to as "eTermin").

 

When you complete the appointment form, this data is stored by eTermin and forwarded to us.

 

The processing of the data entered by you via eTermin is based on Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b GDPR, insofar as your request is related to the performance of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in clear, uncomplicated and fast appointment processing (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR). eTermin enables us to keep the fastest possible appointment that is suitable for you.

 

The data you provide will be processed until you request us to delete it, revoke or object to your consent to store it, or until the purpose for storing the data no longer applies (e.g. after the appointment has ended). Mandatory statutory provisions - in particular statutory retention periods - remain unaffected by this.

 

We have concluded a Data Processing Agreement ("DPA") with eTermin pursuant to Art. 28 Para. 3 GDPR. The service provider processes the data on our behalf and is bound by instructions. The processing of the data takes place exclusively in the territory of Switzerland and/or in a member state of the European Union or in another contracting state of the Agreement on the European Economic Area.

 

Further information on data processing by eTermin can be found at: https://www.etermin.net/en/online-appointment-scheduling-privacy-policy

 

E-mail dispatch via dailypoint™

 

On our website you have the possibility to subscribe to a free newsletter. When registering for the newsletter, the following data from the input mask will be transmitted to us:

  • E-mail address of the user
  • The salutation
  • The first name and surname
  • Possibly the place of residence

 

In addition, the following data is collected during registration:

  • The IP address of the calling computer
  • The date and time of registration

 

For the processing of the data, your consent will be obtained during the registration process and reference will be made to the data protection declaration.

 

For the documentation of the newsletter consent and to prevent misuse of your data, we use the so-called Double-Opt-In-Procedure. By this procedure we ensure that the recipient really wants to receive our newsletter. After registration you will receive an e-mail asking you to confirm your newsletter registration. Only after the confirmation we will be sending our newsletter.

 

The newsletter registrations are logged to be able to prove the registration process according to the legal requirements. This includes the storage of the registration and confirmation time as well as the IP address. Changes to your stored data are also logged.

 

If you purchase goods or services on our website and enter your e-mail address, we may subsequently use this to send you a newsletter. In such a case, the newsletter will only be used to send direct advertising for our own goods or services. In connection with the data processing for the dispatch of newsletters, the data will not be passed on to third parties. The data will be used exclusively for sending the newsletter.

 

Newsletters are sent via the web-based dailypoint™ marketing software, a marketing platform of the provider Toedt, Dr. Selk & Coll. GmbH, Augustenstr. 79, 80333 Munich, Germany.

 

The e-mail addresses of our newsletter recipients, as well as their other data described in this notice, are stored on the servers of Toedt, Dr. Selk & Coll. GmbH servers in Germany.

 

Toedt, Dr. Selk & Coll. GmbH uses this information to send and evaluate the newsletter on our behalf. Furthermore, Toedt, Dr. Selk & Coll. GmbH may also use this information to optimise or improve its own services, e.g. to technically optimise the dispatch and presentation of the newsletter. Toedt, Dr. Selk & Coll. GmbH does not, however, use the data of our newsletter recipients to write to them or pass them on to third parties.

 

Furthermore, we have entered into a Data Processing Addendum (“DPA”) with Toedt, Dr. Selk & Coll. GmbH in accordance with Art. 28 Para 3 GDPR. This is a contract in which Toedt, Dr. Selk & Coll. GmbH undertakes to protect the data of our users, to process it on our behalf in accordance with its data protection regulations and in particular not to pass it on to third parties.

 

The collection of the user's e-mail address is used to send the newsletter. The collection of other personal data during the registration process serves to prevent misuse of the services or the e-mail address used.

 

The data will be deleted as soon as they are no longer required for the purpose of their collection. The user's e-mail address as well as the date and time of registration are therefore stored for as long as the subscription to the newsletter is active. The other personal data collected during the registration process is usually deleted after a period of seven days.

 

The subscription to the newsletter can be cancelled by the user concerned at any time. For this purpose, there is a corresponding link in every newsletter. This also enables the user to revoke his or her consent to the storage of personal data collected during the registration process.

 

The newsletters contain a so-called "web-beacon", i.e. a pixel-sized file which is saved when opening the newsletter of the server of Toedt, Dr. Selk & Coll. GmbH is called up. Within the scope of this retrieval, technical information such as information on the browser and your system, as well as your IP address and time of retrieval are collected. This information is used for the technical improvement of the services based on the technical data or the target groups and their reading behaviour based on their retrieval locations (which can be determined by means of the IP address) or the access times.

Statistical surveys also include determining whether newsletters are opened, when they are opened and which links are clicked. For technical reasons, this information can be assigned to individual newsletter recipients. However, it is neither our intention nor that of Toedt, Dr. Selk & Coll. GmbH to observe individual users. The evaluations serve us much more to recognise the reading habits of our users and to adapt our content to them or to send different content according to the interests of our users.

 

The legal basis for the processing of data after registration for the newsletter by the user is Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR if the user has given his consent.

Links to other websites

 

Our websites contain links to other websites (so called external links).

Our company is as a supplier responsible for the contents of our own as required by the European and national legislation in force. Our own contents are to be distinguished from links to contents provided by other suppliers. We have no influence over whether or not operators of other websites comply with the European and national data protection regulations in force. Please learn more about the data protection statements on the websites of the respective suppliers.

 

Cookies

 

We use cookies in order to further improve our internet presentation for you, make it more user-friendly and to tailor it as well as possible to meet your needs. Cookies are small text data files, which a webserver sends to your internet browser when you visit a website. The cookies are stored locally on your terminal (personal computer, notebook, tablet, smartphone etc.).

 

Numerous websites and servers use cookies. Many cookies contain so called cookie ID, which is a unique identifier of the cookie. Cookie ID consists of a string of characters through which websites and servers can trace back the actual web browser, on which the cookie is stored. This allows the visited web pages and servers to distinguish the individual browser of the data subject from other web browsers that contain other cookies. A specific web browser can be recognized and identified by the unique cookie ID. The purpose of this information is to automatically recognize you and to facilitate your navigation, when you visit the website again with the same device.

 

You can also consent or reject cookies - also for web tracking - via the settings of your web browser. You can configure your web browser so that it blocks cookies generally, or you will be warned in advance when a new cookie is about to be stored. In this case, however, the functionality of the website may be impaired (for example when placing orders). Your browser also offers a function to delete cookies (for instance by choosing “Clear browsing data”. This is possible in all common web browsers. Further information can be found in the user manual or in the settings of your browser.

 

First-party cookies: First-party cookies are permanent cookies that are stored on the computer and only lose their validity when the expiry date assigned to them has expired. The word "party" refers to the domain from which the cookie originated. In contrast to third-party cookies, first-party cookies usually come from the website operator itself. They are therefore not accessible to browsers across domains. For example, website A assigns a cookie A, which is not recognized by website B, but can only be recognized by website A. This means that data cannot be passed on to third parties.

 

Third-party cookies: With a third-party cookie, the cookie is set and recorded by a third party. These cookies are mostly used by advertisers who use their cookies on other websites to collect information about website visitors using the cookies. These are data records that are stored in the user's web browser when he visits a page with the advertisement. If he visits a page with advertising from the same provider again, he will be recognized.

 

Affiliate-Tracking-Cookies

 

We use affiliate tracking cookies on our website to correctly record sales and / or leads. Cookies are small text files that your computer stores when you visit a website. These affiliate tracking cookies do not store any personal data. Rather, only the identification number of the mediating partner and the order number of the advertising material clicked on by the website visitor are recorded. This information is required for payment processing between the website operator and the advertiser. When a transaction is completed, the partner identification number is used to assign the commission to be paid to the mediating partner.

 

You can prevent the installation of cookies by setting your browser software accordingly; however, we would like to point out that in this case you may not be able to use all functions of our website to their full extent.

 

Cookie-Consent-Tool from Cookiefirst

 

This website uses the cookie consent technology of CookieFirst to obtain your consent to the storage of certain cookies on your terminal device and to document this in accordance with data protection law.

Google Tag Manager

 

We use the Google Tag Manager on our website. "Google" is a group of companies and consists of Google Ireland Ltd. (provider of the service), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland as well as Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA and other affiliated companies of Google LLC.

 

The Google Tag Manager is an auxiliary service and only processes personal data itself for technically necessary purposes. The Google Tag Manager takes care of loading other components, which in turn may collect data. The Google Tag Manager does not access this data. If a deactivation has been made at domain or cookie level, this remains in place for all tracking tags implemented with Google Tag Manager.

Google Analytics

 

Google (Universal) Analytics

This website uses Google (Universal) Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland ("Google").

 

Google (Universal) Analytics uses "cookies", which are text files placed on your computer, to help the website analyse how users use the site. The information generated by the cookie about your use of the website (including your IP address) will be transmitted to and stored by Google LLC. on servers in the United States.

 

This website uses Google (Universal) Analytics exclusively with the extension "_anonymizeIp()", which ensures anonymisation of the IP address by shortening it and excludes direct personal reference. The extension means that your IP address is shortened beforehand by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google LLC. server in the USA and shortened there. Google will use this information on our behalf for the purpose of evaluating your use of the website, compiling reports on website activity and providing other services relating to website activity and internet usage. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google (Universal) Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.

 

Google Analytics also enables the creation of statistics with statements about the age, gender and interests of site visitors on the basis of an evaluation of interest-based advertising and with the inclusion of third-party information via a special function, the so-called "demographic characteristics".

This allows the definition and differentiation of user groups of the website for the purpose of targeting marketing measures. However, data records collected via the "demographic characteristics" cannot be assigned to a specific person.

 

Details on the processing triggered by Google Analytics and Google's handling of data from websites can be found here:

https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites

 

All of the processing described above, in particular the setting of Google Analytics cookies for the reading of information on the end device used, will only be carried out if you have given us your explicit consent to do so in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR and § 25 Para. 1 TTDSG. Without this consent, Google Analytics will not be used during your visit to the site.

 

You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future. To exercise your revocation, please deactivate this service in the "Cookie Consent Tool" provided on the website.

 

We have concluded a so-called Data Processing Agreement (“DPA”) with Google for the use of Google Analytics, which obliges Google to protect the data of our site visitors and not to pass it on to third parties.

 

For the transfer of data from the EU to the USA, Google refers to the so-called Standard Data Protection Clauses of the European Commission, which are intended to ensure compliance with the European level of data protection in the USA.

 

Further information on Google (Universal) Analytics can be found here:

Google Analytics 4

This website uses Google Analytics 4, a service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland ("Google"), to analyse the use of websites.

 

When using Google Analytics 4, so-called "cookies" are used as standard. Cookies are text files that are stored on your terminal device and enable an analysis of your use of a website. The information collected by cookies about your use of the website (including the IP address transmitted by your terminal device, shortened by the last few digits, see below) is usually transmitted to a Google server and stored and processed there.

 

This may also result in the transmission of information to the servers of Google LLC, a company based in the USA, where the information is further processed.

 

When using Google Analytics 4, the IP address transmitted by your terminal device when you use the website is always collected and processed automatically and by default only in an anonymised manner, so that the information collected cannot be directly related to a person. This automatic anonymisation is carried out by Google shortening the IP address transmitted by your terminal device within member states of the European Union (EU) or other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area (EEA) by the last digits.

 

Google uses this and other information on our behalf to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on your website activities and usage behaviour and to provide us with other services related to your website usage and internet usage. In this context, the IP address transmitted and shortened by your terminal device within the scope of Google Analytics 4 will not be merged with other data from Google. The data collected in the context of the use of Google Analytics 4 will be stored for 2 months and then deleted.

 

Google Analytics 4 also enables the creation of statistics with statements about age, gender and interests of website users on the basis of an evaluation of interest-based advertising and with the inclusion of third-party information via a special function, the so-called "demographic characteristics". This makes it possible to determine and distinguish user groups of the website for the purpose of targeting marketing measures. However, data collected via the "demographic characteristics" cannot be assigned to a specific person and thus also not to you personally. This data collected via the "demographic characteristics" function is kept for two months and then deleted.

 

All processing described above, in particular the setting of Google Analytics cookies for the storage and reading of information on the end device used by you for the use of the website, will only take place if you have given us your explicit consent for this in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR and § 25 Para. 1 TTDSG. Without your consent, Google Analytics 4 will not be used during your use of the website. You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future. To exercise your revocation, please deactivate this service via the "Cookie Consent Tool" provided on the website.

 

We have concluded a so-called Data Processing Agreement ("DPA") with Google for our use of Google Analytics 4, which obliges Google to protect the data of our website users and not to pass it on to third parties.

 

To ensure compliance with the European level of data protection, also in the event of any transfer of data from the EU or EEA to the USA and possible further processing there, Google refers to the so-called Standard Data Protection Clauses of the European Commission, which we have contractually agreed with Google.

Google Ads

 

We use "Google Ads" (formerly Google AdWords) on our website, a service of Google Ireland Limited, Google Building Gordon House, Barrow St, Dublin 4, Ireland (hereinafter referred to as "Google"). Google Ads enables us to draw attention to our attractive offers with the help of advertising material on external websites. This enables us to determine how successful individual advertising measures are. These advertising materials are delivered by Google via so-called "AdServer". For this purpose, we use so-called AdServer cookies, which can be used to measure certain parameters for measuring success, such as the display of ads or clicks by users. If you access our website via a Google ad, Google Ads stores a cookie on your PC. These cookies usually lose their validity after 30 days. They should not be used to personally identify you. The following information is usually saved as analysis values for this cookie: unique cookie ID, number of ad impressions per placement (frequency), last impression (relevant for post-view conversions), opt-out information (marking that the Users no longer want to be addressed). These cookies enable Google to recognize your web browser. If a user visits certain pages of the website of an Ads customer and the cookie stored on their computer has not yet expired, Google and the customer can recognize that the user clicked on the ad and was redirected to this page. A different cookie is assigned to each Ads customer. Cookies cannot therefore be tracked via the websites of Ads customers. We ourselves do not collect and process any personal data in the advertising measures mentioned. We only receive statistical evaluations from Google. Based on these evaluations, we can see which of the advertising measures used are particularly effective. We do not receive any further data from the use of the advertising material, in particular we cannot identify the users based on this information. Due to the marketing tools used, your browser automatically establishes a direct connection to the Google server. We have no influence on the scope and further use of the data collected by Google through the use of Google Ads. To the best of our knowledge, Google receives the information that you have called up the corresponding part of our website or clicked on an advertisement from us. If you have a Google user account and are registered, Google can assign the visit to your user account. Even if you are not registered with Google or have not logged in, there is a possibility that Google will find out and save your IP address.

We use Google Ads for marketing and optimization purposes, in particular to display relevant and interesting ads for you, to improve the reports on campaign performance and to achieve a fair calculation of advertising costs. The legal basis for the use of Google Ads is your consent in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR and § 25 Para. 1 TTDSG.

 

You can prevent the installation of these cookies by refusing your consent to the storage of these cookies when entering the website, deleting existing cookies or deactivating the storage of cookies in the settings of your web browser. We would like to point out that in this case you may not be able to use all functions of our website to their full extent. The storage of cookies can also be prevented by setting your web browser so that cookies from the domain "www.googleadservices.com" are blocked (https://www.google.de/settings/ads ). We would like to point out that this setting will be deleted if you delete your cookies. You can also deactivate interest-based ads using the link http://optout.aboutads.info . We would like to point out that this setting will also be deleted if you delete your cookies.

Google Dynamic Remarketing

 

We use "Google Dynamic Remarketing" on our website, a service of Google Ireland Limited, Google Building Gordon House, Barrow St, Dublin 4, Ireland (hereinafter referred to as "Google"). Google Dynamic Remarketing enables us to show you our advertisements when you continue to use the Internet after visiting our website. This is done by means of cookies stored in your browser, via which your usage behavior when visiting different websites is recorded and evaluated by Google. This allows Google to determine your previous visit to our website. According to Google, the data collected as part of remarketing with your personal data, which may be stored by Google, will not be merged. According to Google, pseudonymization is used in remarketing in particular.

 

We use Google Dynamic Remarketing for marketing and optimization purposes, in particular to display relevant and interesting ads for you, to improve the reports on campaign performance and to achieve a fair calculation of advertising costs. The legal basis for the use of Google Dynamic Remarketing is your consent in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR and § 25 Para. 1 TTDSG.

 

You can prevent the installation of these cookies by refusing your consent to the storage of these cookies when entering the website, deleting existing cookies or deactivating the storage of cookies in the settings of your web browser.

Google DoubleClick

 

A web service from Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, 4 Dublin, Ireland (hereinafter: DoubleClick) is loaded on our website. We use this data to ensure the full functionality of our website. In this context, your browser may transmit personal data to DoubleClick.

 

You can prevent DoubleClick from collecting and processing your data by refusing your consent when you enter the website, deactivating the execution of script code in your browser or installing a script blocker in your browser.

 

The legal basis for the use of Google Double Click is your consent in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR and § 25 Para. 1 TTDSG.

 

The data will be deleted as soon as the purpose of their collection has been fulfilled. Further information on the handling of the transferred data can be found in the DoubleClick data protection declaration: https://policies.google.com/privacy

 

Microsoft Clarity

 

We use the web analysis software Microsoft Clarity for our website. The service provider is the US company Microsoft Corporation, One Microsoft Way, Redmond, WA 98052-6399, USA (hereinafter referred to as "Microsoft").

 

Microsoft Clarity refers to a procedure by Microsoft in which user analysis is possible on the basis of a pseudonymous user ID and thus on the basis of pseudonymous data, such as the evaluation of data on mouse movements or performance data on certain Internet presentations.

 

In particular, we process usage data (for example, internet presentations visited, interest in content, access times), meta or communication data (for example, device information, IP addresses), location data (information on the geographical position of a device or a person), movement data (mouse movements, scrolling movements) in pseudonymised form. We have made the corresponding settings in such a way that the data collection to and by Microsoft alone is pseudonymised, in particular in the form of IP masking (pseudonymisation of the IP address).

 

The purpose of the processing is tracking (e.g. interest/behavioural profiling, use of cookies), remarketing, conversion measurement (measurement of the effectiveness of marketing measures), interest-based and behavioural marketing, profiling (creation of user profiles), reach measurement (e.g. access statistics, recognition of returning users), cross-device tracking (cross-device processing of user data for marketing purposes).

 

We would like to point out that Microsoft also processes your data in the USA, among other places. According to the opinion of the European Court of Justice, there is currently no adequate level of protection for the transfer of data to the USA. This may be associated with various risks for the lawfulness and security of the data processing.

 

As a basis for data processing with recipients located in third countries (outside the European Union, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, i.e. especially in the USA) or a data transfer there, Microsoft uses so-called Standard Contractional Clauses (“SCC”) according to Art. 46 Para. 2 and 3 GDPR. Standard Contractional Clauses are templates provided by the European Commission and are intended to ensure that your data complies with European data protection standards even if it is transferred to and stored in third countries (such as the USA). Through these clauses, Microsoft undertakes to comply with the European level of data protection when processing your personal data, even if the data is stored, processed and managed in the US. These clauses are based on an implementing decision of the EU Commission. You can find the decision and the corresponding standard data protection clauses here: https://eur-lex.europa.eu/eli/dec_impl/2021/914/oj?locale=en

 

For more information on Microsoft's standard data protection clauses, see: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/compliance/regulatory/offering-eu-model-clauses

 

All visitors to our website who have consented to the corresponding use via our consent banner are affected by data processing by Microsoft Clarity. The data processing is thus based solely on your consent in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR and § 25 Para. 1 TTDSG.

 

Please note that we have concluded a so-called Data Processing Agreement (“DPA”) with Microsoft to enable this activity in accordance with Art. 28 Para. 3 S. 1 GDPR.

 

You will be informed of your rights of objection in accordance with this data protection statement. In addition, you can set an opt-out with the respective provider:

Facebook Pixel

 

On our website we use the so-called “Facebook pixel” from the company “Facebook” (Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbor, Dublin 2 Ireland). With the Facebook pixel we can arrange the visitors of our website in certain target groups in order to be able to show you corresponding advertisements on Facebook. The data collected (e.g. IP addresses, information about the web browser, the location of the website, clicked buttons, possibly pixel IDs and other features) are not visible to us, but can only be used to display certain advertisements. Cookies are also set as part of the use of the Facebook pixel code.

 

If you have a Facebook account and are logged in, your visit to this website will be assigned to your Facebook user account.

 

We also use the remarketing function "Custom Audiences" of the company "Facebook". This enables users of the website to be shown interest-based advertisements ("Facebook ads") when visiting Facebook or other websites that also use this method. We are interested in showing you advertisements that match your interests in order to make our website more interesting for you.

 

In order to exchange the respective data, your browser automatically establishes a direct connection to the Facebook server. We have no influence on the scope and further use of the data collected by Facebook through the use of this tool and therefore inform you according to our level of knowledge: By integrating Facebook Custom Audiences, Facebook receives the information that you are visiting our website Accessed the website or clicked on an advertisement from us. If you are registered with a "Facebook" service, "Facebook" can assign the visit to your account. Even if you are not registered with Facebook or have not logged in, there is a possibility that the provider will find out and save your IP address and other identification features.

 

You can find out how the Facebook pixel is used for advertising campaigns at https://www.facebook.com/business/learn/facebook-ads-pixel

 

More information on Facebook's data policy can be found at https://www.facebook.com/policy.php

 

We use these functions in order to be able to offer you promotional offers that match your interests.

 

We process your data because you have given your consent to this (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR and § 25 Para. 1 TTDSG).

 

We store your data as long as we need it for the respective purpose (displaying interest-based advertising), or you have withdrawn your consent.

The deactivation of the "Facebook Custom Audiences" function is possible for logged in users at https://www.facebook.com/settings/?tab=ads# .

You can change your settings for advertisements in Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/ads/preferences/?entry_product=ad_settings_screen , provided you are logged in to Facebook.

 

Vimeo

 

Videos via Vimeo.com are integrated on this website. This is a service of Vimeo, Inc., 555 West 18th Street, New York, New York 10011, USA (hereinafter referred to as "Vimeo"). When you view videos via Vimeo, a connection is established to the Vimeo servers in the USA. This transmits certain information to Vimeo. Vimeo may also place cookies on your device. Vimeo also enables the use of certain other functions, such as rating or sharing videos. To do this, it may be necessary for you to log in to Vimeo or certain third-party providers (such as Facebook or Twitter) with your user account so that they can assign the information you have provided to your respective user account. These functions are offered exclusively by Vimeo and the respective third-party providers and you should carefully check their data protection regulations before using the respective functions. We have no knowledge of the content of the data collected by Vimeo or third parties and have no influence on their use.

The legal basis for the use of Vimeo is your consent in accordance with Art. 6 Paragraph 1 lit. a GDPR and § 25 Para. 1 TTDSG. We have no knowledge of the storage period at Vimeo and we have no way of influencing it.

 

You can prevent Vimeo from loading via the settings of your browser (deactivation of JavaScript and iFrames). How this works in detail, please refer to the instructions of your browser manufacturer. For some browsers there are also add-ons that make it easier for you to make these settings, e.g. for Mozilla Firefox the script blocker "NoScript" (noscript.net/) or the ad blocker "Adblock Plus" (adblockplus.org/de) in combination with the "EasyPrivacy" list (easylist.to).

Google – Content Delivery Network (CDN)

 

We use the jQuery Javascript library on our website. In order to increase the loading speed of our website and to provide you with a better user experience, we use the CDN (content delivery network) from Google to load this library. It is very likely that you have already used jQuery on another Google CDN page. In this case, your browser can access the cached copy and it does not have to be downloaded again. If your browser has not saved a copy in the cache or is downloading the file from the Google CDN for another reason, data will be transferred from your browser to Google Inc. (“Google”).

 

The legal basis for data processing is Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The legitimate interest is to optimize the function and speed of our website.

Our social media presences

 

Data processing through social networks

We maintain publicly accessible profiles on social networks. The social networks used by us in detail can be found below.

 

Social networks such as Facebook, Twitter, etc. can generally analyze your user behavior extensively 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 triggered. In detail:

 

If you are logged into your social media account and visit our social media presence, the operator of the social media portal can assign this visit to your user account. However, your personal data may also be collected under certain circumstances if you are not logged in or do not have an account with the respective social media portal. In this case, this data collection takes place, for example, via cookies that are stored on your end device or by recording your IP address.

 

With the help of the data collected in this way, the operators of the social media portals can create user profiles in which your preferences and interests are stored. In this way, you can be shown interest-based advertising inside and outside the respective social media presence. Provided you have an account with the respective social network, the interest-based advertising may be displayed on all devices on which you are or were logged in.

 

Please also note that we cannot track all processing on the social media portals. Depending on the provider, further processing operations may therefore be carried out by the operators of the social media portals. For details, please refer to the terms of use and data protection provisions of the respective social media portals.

 

Legal basis

Our social media presences are intended to ensure the most comprehensive presence possible on the Internet. This is a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 Para 1 lit. f GDPR. The analysis processes initiated by the social networks may be based on different legal bases, which are to be specified by the operators of the social networks (e.g. consent within the meaning of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR).

 

Responsible party and assertion of rights

If you visit one of our social media sites (e.g. Facebook), we are jointly responsible with the operator of the social media platform for the data processing operations triggered during this visit. In principle, you can assert your rights (information, correction, deletion, restriction of processing, data portability and complaint) both vis-à-vis us and vis-à-vis the operator of the respective social media portal (e.g. vis-à-vis Facebook).

 

Please note that despite the joint responsibility with the social media portal operators, we do not have full influence on the data processing operations of the social media portals. Our options are largely determined by the corporate policy of the respective provider.

 

Storage period

The data collected directly by us via the social media presence will be deleted from our systems as soon as the purpose for storing it no longer applies, you request us to delete it, revoke your consent to store it, or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies. Stored cookies remain on your terminal device until you delete them. Mandatory legal provisions - in particular retention periods - remain unaffected.

 

We have no influence on the storage period of your data, which is stored by the operators of social networks for their own purposes. For details, please contact the operators of the social networks directly (e.g. in their privacy policy, see below).

We have a profile on Facebook. The provider of this service is Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Dublin 2, Ireland (hereinafter referred to as "Facebook"). According to Facebook, the collected data is also transferred to the USA and other third countries.
