IX. Use of Google Analytics

(1) On our website, we use Google Analytics, a web analysis service of Google Inc. (“Google”). Google Analytics uses so-called “cookies” and text files stored on your computer, enabling an analysis of your website’s use. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. However, suppose IP anonymization is activated on this website. In that case, Google will shorten your IP address beforehand within Member States of the European Union or 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 server in the USA and shortened there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, compile reports on website activities, and provide other services related to website and internet usage to the website operator.

(2) The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.

(3) You can prevent cookies from being stored by setting your browser software accordingly; however, in this case, you may not be able to use all of this website’s functions to their full extent. You can also prevent Google from collecting data generated by the cookie related to your use of the website (including your IP address) and from processing this data by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available at the following link: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de.

(4) This website uses Google Analytics with the extension “_anonymizeIp().” As a result, IP addresses are processed in shortened form, meaning personal references can be excluded. If the data collected about you contains a personal reference, it will thus be immediately excluded, and the personal data will be deleted immediately.

(5) We use Google Analytics to analyze and regularly improve the use of our website. We can improve our offer through the statistics obtained and make it more interesting for you as a user. For exceptional cases in which personal data is transferred to the USA, Google has submitted it to the EU-US Privacy Shield, https://www.privacyshield.gov/EU-US-Framework. The legal basis for the use of Google Analytics is Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. f GDPR.

Terms of Service: http://www.google.com/analytics/terms/de.html; Overview of data protection: http://www.google.com/intl/de/analytics/learn/privacy.html; and Privacy Policy: http://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy.

X. SSL Encryption

This site uses SSL encryption to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as inquiries you send to us as the site operator. An encrypted connection is recognized by the browser’s address line change from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock symbol in the browser. When SSL encryption is activated, third parties cannot read the data you transmit to us.

XI. Use of Social Media Plugins

(1) We currently use the following social media plugins: Facebook & Google+. We use the so-called two-click solution. This means that no personal data is initially passed on to the plugin providers when you visit our site. You can recognize the plugin’s provider by marking it on the box above its initial letter or logo. We allow you to communicate directly with the plugin provider using the button. Only if you click on the marked field and activate it does the plugin provider receive the information that you have accessed the corresponding website of our online offer. In addition, the data mentioned in § 3 of this declaration is transmitted. In the case of Facebook, according to the respective providers in Germany, the IP address is anonymized immediately after collection. By activating the plugin, personal data is thus transmitted from you to the respective plugin provider and stored there (in the case of US providers in the USA). Since the plugin provider collects data mainly via cookies, we recommend deleting all cookies via your browser’s security settings before clicking on the grayed-out box.

(2) We do not influence the collected data and data processing operations, nor are we aware of the full extent of data collection, the purposes of processing, or the storage periods. We also have no information about deleting the collected data by the plugin provider.

(3) The plugin provider stores the data collected about you as usage profiles and uses these for advertising, market research, and/or demand-oriented design of its website. Such evaluation occurs in particular (even for users who are not logged in) to display targeted advertising and inform other social network users about your activities on our website. You have the right to object to creating these user profiles, whereby you must contact the respective plugin provider to exercise this right. Through the plugins, we offer you the opportunity to interact with social networks and other users so that we can improve our offer and make it more interesting for you as a user. The legal basis for the use of plugins is Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. f DS-GVO.

(4) The data transfer occurs regardless of whether you have an account with the plugin provider and are logged in. If you are logged in with the plugin provider, your data collected by us will be directly assigned to your existing account with the plugin provider. If you click the activated button and, for example, link to the page, the plugin provider stores this information in your user account and publicly shares it with your contacts. We recommend that you log out regularly after using a social network. Still, especially before activating the button, you can avoid an assignment to your profile with the plugin provider.

(5) The privacy policies of the plugin providers, as communicated below, provide Further information on the purpose and scope of data collection and processing by these providers. You will also find further information about your rights and setting options to protect your privacy.

Google AdSense (not personalized)

This website uses Google AdSense, a service that integrates advertisements. Provider is Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. We use Google AdSense in “non-personalized” mode. Unlike the personalized mode, the advertisements are not based on your previous user behavior, and no user profile is created for you. Instead, so-called “contextual information” is used when selecting advertisements. The selected advertisements then depend, for example, on your location, the website content you are on, or your current search terms. More about the differences between personalized and non-personalized targeting with Google AdSense can be found at: https://support.google.com/adsense/answer/9007336. Please note that cookies may still be stored when using Google Adsense in non-personalized mode. According to Google, these are used to combat fraud and abuse.

Google Analytics Remarketing

This website uses the functions of Google Analytics Remarketing in conjunction with the cross-device capabilities of Google AdWords and Google DoubleClick. The provider is Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. This function makes it possible to link the advertising target groups created with Google Analytics Remarketing with the cross-device functions of Google AdWords and Google DoubleClick. This allows interest-based, personalized advertising messages adapted to you based on your previous usage and surfing behavior on one end device (e.g., cell phone) to be displayed on another of your end devices (e.g., tablet or PC).

If you have given appropriate consent, Google links your web and app browsing history with your Google Account. This way, the same personalized advertising messages can be displayed on every device you sign in with your Google Account. To support this function, Google Analytics collects Google-authenticated user IDs temporarily linked to our Google Analytics data to define and create target groups for cross-device ad promotion.

You can permanently opt out of cross-device remarketing and targeting by turning off personalized advertising. To do so, follow this link: https://www.google.com/settings/ads/onweb/.

The aggregation of the collected data in your Google Account occurs solely based on your consent, which you can give or withdraw from Google (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR). For data collection operations that are not merged in your Google Account (for example, because you do not have a Google Account or have objected to the merger), data collection is based on Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The legitimate interest arises from the website operator in the anonymous analysis of website visitors for advertising purposes.
