Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics on our website. This is a web analytics service provided by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043 (hereinafter: Google).

Through certification according to the EU-US Privacy Shield

https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt000000001L5AAI&status=Active

Google guarantees that it will follow the EU's data protection regulations when processing data in the United States.

The Google Analytics service is used to analyze how our website is used. The legal basis is Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in the analysis, optimization, and economic operation of our site.

Usage and user-related information, such as IP address, place, time, or frequency of your visits to our website will be transmitted to a Google server in the United States and stored there. However, we use Google Analytics with the so-called anonymization function, whereby Google truncates the IP address within the EU or the EEA before it is transmitted to the US.

The data collected in this way is in turn used by Google to provide us with an evaluation of visits to our website and what visitors do once there. This data can also be used to provide other services related to the use of our website and of the internet in general.

Google states that it will not connect your IP address to other data. In addition, Google provides further information with regard to its data protection practices at

https://www.google.com/intl/de/policies/privacy/partners,

including options you can exercise to prevent such use of your data.

In addition, Google offers an opt-out add-on at

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

in addition with further information. This add-on can be installed on the most popular browsers and offers you further control over the data that Google collects when you visit our website. The add-on informs Google Analytics' JavaScript (ga.js) that no information about the website visit should be transmitted to Google Analytics. However, this does not prevent information from being transmitted to us or to other web analytics services we may use as detailed herein.

Google Tag Manager

We use Google Tag Manager (‘GTM’) from the service provider Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (processing may also be carried out by Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA). The Tag Manager is used for the administrative integration and control of tracking, marketing and other script tags on our website, including the enforcement of your consent decisions (consent signals) and error diagnosis.

Functionality / Data categories

Google Tag Manager does not set any end-user cookies itself and does not process any measurement IDs or IP addresses for stability and diagnostic data. According to Google, only aggregated information about tag triggers is collected for this purpose, which does not allow any conclusions to be drawn about individual persons. In GTM's preview/debug mode, technically necessary first-party cookies may be set, which only affect administrators/testers and not regular website visitors.

Additional services (e.g. Google Ads, Google Analytics) are loaded and controlled via Google Tag Manager. Only these services can process personal data and read or store non-essential information on your device, depending on the configuration. These tags are only triggered on the basis of your consent; essential or technically necessary tags may be operated on the basis of our legitimate interests (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR), for example for the secure and compliant management of consent statuses and for the technical delivery of the website.

Legal basis

Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR (legitimate interest) for the tag management-related operation of Google Tag Manager (consent management, error diagnosis, stable operation).

Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR in conjunction with § 25 para. 1 TTDSG for triggering non-essential tags (e.g. marketing/analytics) that store or read information on your device.

Google Tag Manager takes into account your decisions about Google Consent Mode (v2); The signals ad_storage, analytics_storage, functionality_storage, security_storage, personalization_storage, ad_user_data and ad_personalization are particularly relevant.

Recipients / Third country transfer

The recipient is Google Ireland Limited. During use, data may be transferred to Google LLC (USA). Google is certified under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (DPF). In addition, Google bases international transfers on appropriate safeguards (including standard contractual clauses) in accordance with Art. 46 GDPR. For more information about Google's data transfer frameworks, please visit: https://policies.google.com/privacy/frameworks

Storage duration

Google Tag Manager does not set its own cookies for website visitors and, according to Google, only processes aggregated tag firing data without IP addresses or measurement IDs for diagnostic purposes. The storage duration and processing of the reloaded services (e.g. Google Ads/Analytics) are set out in the respective sections of this privacy policy.

Withdrawal of consent

You can control or withdraw your consent to non-essential processing (marketing/analytics tags) at any time with future effect via our cookie settings. Google Tag Manager implements your decision technically using Consent Mode v2 (e.g. deactivating ad_user_data/ad_personalization if consent is refused).

YouTube

In our web site we use YouTube. This is a video portal by YouTube LLC., 901 Cherry Ave., 94066 San Bruno, CA, USA, in the following simply called „YouTube“.

YouTube is a subsidiary of Google LLC., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043 USA, in the following simply called „Google“.

By certification according to the EU-US Privacy Shield

https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt000000001L5AAI&status=Active

Google, and with it its subsidiary YouTube, both guarantee that EU data privacy regulations are adhered to even while processing data in the US.

We use YouTube in connection with the „enhanced data protection mode“ functionality which permits us to display videos. The legal basis for this is Art. 6 para 1 lit. f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in optimisation of our web presence. According to YouTube, the „enhanced data protection mode“ ensures that the data to be specified below will only be transmitted to the YouTube server if you actually start viewing the video.

Without this „enhanced data protection“, a connection is made to the YouTube server in the US as soon as you open one of our web pages with an embedded YouTube video.

This connection is necessary to display the respective video on our web page via your web browser. Within this process, YouTube will at least collect and process your IP address, date and time, as well as the web page you visit. Also, a connection is generated to Google’s „DoubleClick“ advertisement network.

If you are simultaneously logged into YouTube, YouTube will allocate these connection data to your YouTube account. To prevent this, you must either logout from YouTube before visiting our website, or perform the respective settings in your YouTube user account.

To ensure better functionality and for analysis of user behaviour, YouTube will store permanent cookies on your end device via your web browser. If you do not consent to such processing you may block cookie storage by specific settings in your web browser. More about this above under the heading „Cookies“.

For further information on collection and usage of data and your respective rights and protection options please see the Google privacy notice at

https://policies.google.com/privacy.

Use of Meta Pixel (Facebook Pixel)

Our website uses Meta Pixel from the social network Facebook (Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, Merrion Road, Dublin 4, D04 X2K5, Ireland). This allows us to track the behaviour of visitors to our website after they have been redirected to our website by clicking on a Facebook advertisement. This serves to evaluate the effectiveness of Facebook advertisements for statistical and market research purposes and to optimise future advertising measures.

The data collected is anonymous to us, meaning that we cannot draw any conclusions about the identity of individual users. However, the data is stored and processed by Meta, so that a connection to the respective user profile is possible and Meta can use the data for its own advertising purposes in accordance with Meta's data use policy (https://www.facebook.com/policy.php). This may enable Meta and its partners to display advertisements on and outside of Facebook.

The use of Meta Pixel is based on your consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. You can revoke your consent at any time via our cookie consent tool.

Data transfer to third countries: Meta Platforms Ireland Limited may transfer your data to Meta Platforms Inc., 1601 Willow Road, Menlo Park, California 94025, USA. There is currently no adequacy decision by the EU Commission for the USA. Therefore, data transfer is based on standard contractual clauses in accordance with Art. 46 GDPR.

Deadlines for Deleting Data

The statutory storage obligations and time limits apply. After such time limits have expired, the respective data are deleted. Any data not covered by statutory storage obligations and time limits will be deleted after they have served their purpose.
