The following overview summarizes the types of data processed and the purposes of their processing and refers to the data subjects.
Relevant legal bases under the GDPR: The following provides an overview of the legal bases of the GDPR on which we process personal data. Please note that in addition to the GDPR regulations, national data protection requirements may apply in your or our country of residence or domicile. If more specific legal bases are relevant in individual cases, we will inform you of them in the privacy policy.
We take appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risk, considering the state of the art, the implementation costs, and the nature, scope, context, and purposes of the processing, as well as the varying likelihood and severity of the risk to the rights and freedoms of natural persons, in accordance with legal requirements.
Measures include, in particular, securing the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of data by controlling physical and electronic access to the data, as well as access, input, transmission, securing availability, and separation of data. We also have procedures in place to ensure the exercise of data subjects' rights, deletion of data, and responses to data threats. Furthermore, we consider the protection of personal data already during the development or selection of hardware, software, and procedures, according to the principle of data protection through technology design and through data protection-friendly default settings.
In the context of our processing of personal data, it may happen that the data is transferred to other entities, companies, legally independent organizational units, or persons, or disclosed to them. Among the recipients of this data may be service providers commissioned with IT tasks or providers of services and content that are integrated into a website. In such cases, we comply with the legal requirements and conclude corresponding contracts or agreements with the recipients of your data to protect your data.
Rights of data subjects under the GDPR: As a data subject, you have various rights under the GDPR, which arise in particular from Articles 15 to 21 GDPR:
Cookies are small text files or other memory notes that store information on end devices and read information from the end devices. For example, to store the login status in a user account, a shopping cart content in an online shop, the accessed content, or used functions of an online offer. Cookies can also be used for different purposes, e.g., to ensure the functionality, security, and convenience of online offers, as well as to create analyses of visitor flows.
Notes on consent: We use cookies in accordance with legal requirements. Therefore, we obtain prior consent from users, except when this is not required by law. Consent is particularly not necessary if the storage and reading of information, including cookies, is absolutely necessary to provide users with a telemedia service (i.e., our online offer) that they have expressly requested. The absolutely necessary cookies usually include cookies with functions that serve the display and operability of the online offer, load balancing, security, storage of user preferences and choices, or similar purposes related to the provision of the main and secondary functions of the online offer requested by the users. The revocable consent is clearly communicated to the users and contains the information on the respective cookie use.
Notes on data protection legal bases: The legal basis on which we process personal data of users using cookies depends on whether we ask users for consent. If users consent, the legal basis for processing their data is the declared consent. Otherwise, the data processed using cookies will be processed based on our legitimate interests (e.g., in the business operation of our online offer and its improvement) or if this is necessary to fulfill our contractual obligations if the use of cookies is required to fulfill our contractual obligations. We inform users in the course of this privacy policy or as part of our consent and processing processes about the purposes for which cookies are processed.
Storage duration: With regard to the storage duration, the following types of cookies are distinguished:
General information on revocation and objection (so-called "opt-out"): Users can revoke their given consents at any time and object to processing following legal requirements. Users can, among other things, restrict the use of cookies in the settings of their browser (whereby this may also restrict the functionality of our online offer). An objection to the use of cookies for online marketing purposes can also be explained via the websites https://optout.aboutads.info and https://www.youronlinechoices.com/.
Further Information on Processing, Procedures, and Services:
We process the data of users to provide them with our online services. For this purpose, we process the user's IP address, which is necessary to transmit the content and functions of our online services to the user's browser or end device.
Further Information on Processing, Procedures, and Services:
Web analysis (also referred to as "reach measurement") serves the evaluation of the visitor flows of our online offer and can include behavior, interests, or demographic information about visitors, such as age or gender, as pseudonymous values. With the help of reach analysis, we can recognize, for example, at what time our online offer or its functions or content are most frequently used or invite re-use. Likewise, we can identify which areas need optimization.
In addition to web analysis, we can also use test procedures to test and optimize different versions of our online offer or its components.
Unless otherwise stated below, profiles, i.e., data compiled into a usage process, can be created for these purposes, and information can be stored in a browser or end device and read from it. The collected information includes, in particular, visited websites and used elements, as well as technical information, such as the used browser, the used computer system, and information about usage times. If users have consented to the collection of their location data with us or with the providers of the services we use, location data can also be processed.
The IP addresses of users are also stored. However, we use an IP masking procedure (i.e., pseudonymization by shortening the IP address) to protect users. Generally, the clear data of users (such as email addresses or names) are not stored in the context of web analysis, A/B testing, and optimization, but pseudonyms. That is, neither we nor the providers of the used software know the actual identity of the users, but only the data stored in their profiles for the respective processes.
Further Information on Processing, Procedures, and Services:
We ask you to regularly inform yourself about the content of our privacy policy. We will adapt the privacy policy as soon as changes in the data processing we carry out make this necessary. We will inform you as soon as the changes require your cooperation (e.g., consent) or another individual notification.
If we provide addresses and contact information of companies and organizations in this privacy policy, please note that the addresses may change over time and ask you to check the information before contacting us.
