II. Scope of the processing of personal data

In order to ensure the functionality of our website and the provision of our content and services, it is necessary for us to collect and use the personal data of our users.

Personal data is stored and processed exclusively on servers in the European Union.

All data is encrypted on the basis of the SSL procedure.

Data processing is carried out on the basis of the legal provisions of Art. 6 para. 1 lit a (consent) and/or f (legitimate interest) of the GDPR. If the processing is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest of our company or a third party and if the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not outweigh the first-mentioned interest, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR serves as the legal basis for the processing. Any further use will only take place with the express consent of the customer. In detail, data is collected and processed as follows

When you visit our website, log file data is automatically collected on our server and stored in an internal log file, which is transmitted to us via your browser. This involves the following data:

  • Type and version of the browser you are using;
  • the names of the sub-pages you have accessed;
  • date and time you accessed our website;
  • search terms you used to find our site;
  • URL of the page from which you reached us,
  • type and version of the operating system you are using,

We collect and process this data in anonymised form, i.e. it cannot be assigned to a specific person. The purpose of data collection and processing is to analyse it for internal system-related and statistical purposes. Furthermore, for the purpose of technical security, in particular for defence against attempted attacks on our web server; also for abuse control in the event of suspicion and for clarification of suspicion of criminally relevant use. The IP address is only analysed in the event of attacks on our network infrastructure. We use your e-mail address to complete a registration process on our website via a confirmation e-mail and to send you confirmation e-mails about the orders you have placed. The legal basis for the processing of the data is Art. 6 para. 1 lit b (necessary for contract fulfilment) of the GDPR. Payment data – Account or credit card data are used for the processing of chargeable orders. The legal basis for the processing of the data is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b (necessary for the fulfilment of the contract) of the GDPR. If you subscribe to our company’s newsletter, the data in the respective input mask will be transmitted to the controller. When registering for the newsletter, the user’s IP address and the date and time of registration are stored. This serves to prevent misuse of the services or the data subject’s email address. The data is not passed on to third parties. An exception is made if there is a legal obligation to pass on the data. The data is used exclusively for sending the newsletter. Subscription to the newsletter can be cancelled by the data subject at any time. Consent to the storage of personal data can also be revoked at any time. There is a corresponding link in every newsletter for this purpose. 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 consent. The legal basis for sending the newsletter as a result of the sale of goods or services is Section 7 (3) UWG. If you have consented to the use of your email address for the receipt of our newsletter and the sending of offers, you have given us the following declaration of consent. “By ticking this box, you confirm that you have read and agree to our terms of use for the storage of the data transmitted via this form.” We have recorded your declaration of consent. If you use the contact form on our website, which can be used to contact us electronically, or contact us via our email address, the personal data you provide will be stored automatically. The data is stored solely for the purpose of processing or contacting the person concerned. The data will not be passed on to third parties. The legal basis for the processing of the data is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR if the user has given consent. The legal basis for the processing of data transmitted in the course of sending an e-mail is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. If the e-mail contact is aimed at the conclusion of a contract, the additional legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR.

III. Legal basis for the processing of personal data

Insofar as we obtain the consent of the data subject for the processing of personal data, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) serves as the legal basis. When processing personal data that is necessary for the fulfilment of a contract to which the data subject is a party, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR serves as the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations that are necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. Insofar as the processing of personal data is necessary to fulfil a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR serves as the legal basis. If the processing is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest of our company or a third party and if the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not outweigh the first-mentioned interest, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR serves as the legal basis for the processing.

  1. Recipients of the data or categories of recipients

Once your data has been entered and transmitted, it is transferred directly via an encrypted connection to the server of the external service provider One.com Group AB, organisation number 559205-2400 Hyllie Stationstorg 2, 215 32 Malmö, Sweden. Recipients of the data are public bodies that receive data due to legal regulations (e.g. social security institutions, tax authorities), internal bodies involved in the execution of the respective business processes (personnel administration, accounting, banking institutions/payment service providers, accounting, customer service, marketing, sales), in the case of shipping products to the transport company/shipping company commissioned by us, contractual partners, business partners to the extent required or permitted by law. Data is not transmitted to third parties, with the exception of the transmission of credit card data to the processing company for the purpose of debiting the purchase price, to the transport company/shipping company commissioned by us to deliver the goods and to our tax consultant to fulfil our tax obligations. Once your data has been entered and transmitted, it is transferred directly to the server of an external service provider via an encrypted connection.

  1. Routine erasure and storage of personal data

We process and store personal data of the data subject only for the period necessary to achieve the purpose of storage or if this has been provided for by the European legislator or another legislator in laws or regulations to which the controller is subject. If the storage purpose ceases to apply or if a storage period prescribed by the European Directive and Regulation Giver or another competent legislator expires, the personal data will be routinely blocked or deleted in accordance with the statutory provisions. 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 a newsletter subscription, this is the case as long as the subscription is active.

IV. Your rights as a user

If your personal data is processed, you are a data subject within the meaning of the GDPR and you have the following rights vis-à-vis the controller:

  • Right of information

You can request confirmation from the controller as to whether personal data concerning you is being processed by us. If such processing is taking place, you can request the following information from the controller:

    1. the purposes for which the personal data are processed

In this context, you may request to be informed of the appropriate safeguards pursuant to Art. 46 GDPR in connection with the transfer.
    3. the existence of automated decision-making, including profiling, referred to in Art. 22 (1) and (4) GDPR and, at least in those cases, meaningful information about the logic involved, as well as the significance and the envisaged consequences of such processing for the data subject.

    8. the recipients or categories of recipients to whom the personal data concerning you have been or will be disclosed
    9. the categories of personal data that are processed
  • Right to rectification

You have a right to rectification and/or completion vis-à-vis the controller if the processed personal data concerning you is incorrect or incomplete. The controller must make the correction without delay.

  • Right to restriction of processing

Under the following conditions, you may request the restriction of the processing of your personal data:

  1. if you contest the accuracy of the personal data concerning you for a period enabling the controller to verify the accuracy of the personal data;
  2. the controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of the processing, but they are required by you for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims, or
  3. the processing is unlawful and you oppose the erasure of the personal data and request the restriction of their use instead;
  4. the controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of the processing, but they are required by you for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims, or
  5. if you have objected to processing pursuant to Art. 21 (1) GDPR pending the verification whether the legitimate grounds of the controller override your grounds.

If the processing of personal data concerning you has been restricted, this data – apart from its storage – may only be processed with your consent or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interest of the Union or of a Member State.

If the restriction of processing has been restricted in accordance with the above conditions, you will be informed by the controller before the restriction is lifted.

  • Right to cancellation

You have the right to obtain from the controller the erasure of personal data concerning you without undue delay and the controller shall have the obligation to erase personal data without undue delay where one of the following grounds applies:

  1. The personal data concerning you are no longer necessary for the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed.
  2. You revoke your consent on which the processing was based pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a or Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a GDPR and there is no other legal basis for the processing.
  3. You object to the processing pursuant to Art. 21 (1) GDPR and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing, or you object to the processing pursuant to Art. 21 (2) GDPR.
  4. The personal data concerning you has been processed unlawfully.

If the responsible person has made the personal data concerning you public and is obliged to delete them in accordance with Art. 17 para. 1 GDPR, he shall take appropriate measures, including technical measures, taking into account the available technology and the implementation costs, to inform data controllers who process the personal data that you, as the data subject, have requested them to delete all links to this personal data or copies or replications of this personal data.

The right to erasure does not exist if the processing is necessary

  1. to exercise the right to freedom of expression and information;
  2. for compliance with a legal obligation which requires processing by Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject or for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller;
  3. for reasons of public interest in the area of public health in accordance with Art. 9 para. 2 lit. h and i and Art. 9 para. 3 GDPR;
  4. for archiving purposes in the public interest, scientific or historical research purposes or statistical purposes in accordance with Art. 89 (1) GDPR, insofar as the right referred to in (1) is likely to render impossible or seriously impair the achievement of the objectives of that processing, or
  5. for the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims.
  • Right to be informed

If you have asserted the right to rectification, erasure or restriction of processing against the controller, the controller is obliged to notify all recipients to whom the personal data concerning you have been disclosed of this rectification or erasure of the data or restriction of processing, unless this proves impossible or involves a disproportionate effort.

You have the right to be informed about these recipients by the person responsible.

  • Right to data portability

You have the right to receive the personal data concerning you, which you have provided to the controller, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. You also have the right to transmit this data to another controller without hindrance from the controller to which the personal data has been provided, where

  • the processing is based on consent pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR or Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a GDPR or on a contract pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR and
  • the processing is carried out using automated procedures.

In exercising this right, you also have the right to have the personal data concerning you transmitted directly from one controller to another, where technically feasible. The freedoms and rights of other persons must not be affected by this.

The right to data portability does not apply to the processing of personal data necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller.

  • Right of objection

You have the right to object, on grounds relating to your particular situation, at any time to processing of personal data concerning you which is based on point (e) or (f) of Article 6(1) GDPR, including profiling based on those provisions.

The controller will no longer process the personal data concerning you unless the controller demonstrates compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.

If the personal data concerning you are processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you for such marketing, which includes profiling to the extent that it is related to such direct marketing.

If you object to processing for direct marketing purposes, the personal data concerning you will no longer be processed for these purposes.

You have the option, in connection with the use of information society services – notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC – to exercise your right to object by means of automated procedures that use technical specifications.

  • Right to revoke the declaration of consent under data protection law

You have the right to withdraw your declaration of consent under data protection law at any time. The withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.

  • Automated decision-making in individual cases, including profiling

You have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affects you. This does not apply if the decision

  1. is necessary for the conclusion or fulfilment of a contract between you and the controller
  2. is authorised by Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject and which also lays down suitable measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms and legitimate interests; or
  3. with your express consent.

However, these decisions may not be based on special categories of personal data pursuant to Art. 9 para. 1 GDPR, unless Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a or g applies and appropriate measures have been taken to protect the rights and freedoms as well as your legitimate interests.

With regard to the cases referred to in 1 and 3, the controller shall take reasonable steps to safeguard the rights and freedoms and your legitimate interests, including at least the right to obtain the intervention of a person on the part of the controller, to express his or her point of view and to contest the decision.

  • Right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority

Without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of your habitual residence, place of work or place of the alleged infringement if you consider that the processing of personal data relating to you infringes the GDPR.

The supervisory authority with which the complaint has been lodged shall inform the complainant on the progress and the outcome of the complaint including the possibility of a judicial remedy pursuant to Art. 78 GDPR.

  • Right to information, objection, correction and removal

You can withdraw your consent to the processing of personal data at any time with effect for the future and have your personal data deleted or amended. If the data is required for the fulfilment of the contract or for the implementation of pre-contractual measures, premature deletion of the data is only possible insofar as contractual or legal obligations do not prevent deletion. Requests for information, correction and deletion as well as the revocation or objection regarding the further use of the data possibly given to us can be declared informally as follows:

V. Information on cookies

We use so-called “cookies” for our websites. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer and saved by your browser. By setting cookies, our web server can recognise your browser, your individual settings on our websites and, if applicable, parts of your login data in encrypted form, making it easier for you to use our websites and enabling you to log in automatically.

The purpose of using technically necessary cookies is to simplify the use of websites for users. Some functions of our website cannot be offered without the use of cookies. This requires the browser to be recognised even after a change of page. The user data collected by technically necessary cookies is not used to create user profiles.

Cookies are stored on the user’s computer and transmitted by it to our website. As a user, you therefore have full control over the use of cookies. Your browser settings give you the option of rejecting cookies, deleting cookies from your computer, blocking cookies or being prompted before a cookie is set. The cookies we set are deleted from your computer after each session. If cookies are deactivated for our website, it may no longer be possible to use all the functions of the website to their full extent.

We require cookies for the following applications:

  • Session-Cookies

We use so-called cookies on our website. Cookies are small text files or other storage technologies that are placed and stored on your end device by the Internet browser you use. These cookies are used to process certain information from you, such as your browser or location data or your IP address, on an individual basis.

This processing makes our website more user-friendly, effective and secure, as the processing enables, for example, the reproduction of our website in different languages or the offer of a shopping basket function.

The legal basis for this processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b) GDPR, insofar as these cookies process data for contract initiation or contract fulfilment.

If the processing does not serve to initiate or fulfil a contract, our legitimate interest lies in improving the functionality of our website. The legal basis in this case is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR.

These session cookies are deleted when you close your Internet browser.

  • Third-party cookies

Our website may also use cookies from partner companies with whom we work for the purposes of advertising, analysing or the functionalities of our website.

Please refer to the following information for details, in particular the purposes and legal basis for processing such third-party cookies.

  • Possibility of removal

You can prevent or restrict the installation of cookies by changing the settings of your Internet browser. You can also delete cookies that have already been saved at any time. However, the steps and measures required for this depend on the specific Internet browser you are using. If you have any questions, please use the help function or documentation of your Internet browser or contact its manufacturer or support. In the case of so-called Flash cookies, however, processing cannot be prevented via the browser settings. Instead, you must change the settings of your Flash player. The steps and measures required for this also depend on the specific Flash player you are using. If you have any questions, please also use the help function or documentation of your Flash player or contact the manufacturer or user support.

However, if you prevent or restrict the installation of cookies, this may mean that not all functions of our website can be used to their full extent.

  • Contract processing

The data transmitted by you to utilise our range of goods and/or services is processed by us for the purpose of contract processing and is required in this respect. Conclusion and fulfilment of the contract are not possible without the provision of your data.

The legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b) GDPR.

We delete the data once the contract has been fully processed, but must observe the retention periods under tax and commercial law.

As part of the contract processing, we pass on your data to the transport company commissioned with the delivery of goods or to the financial service provider, insofar as the transfer is necessary for the delivery of goods or for payment purposes.

The legal basis for the transfer of data is then Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b) GDPR.

  • Customer account / registration function

If you create a customer account with us via our website, we will collect and store the data you enter during registration (e.g. your name, address or e-mail address) exclusively for pre-contractual services, for the fulfilment of the contract or for the purpose of customer care (e.g. to provide you with an overview of your previous orders with us or to be able to offer you the so-called notepad function). At the same time, we store the IP address and the date and time of your registration. Of course, this data will not be passed on to third parties.

As part of the further registration process, your consent to this processing is obtained and reference is made to this privacy policy. The data collected by us will be used exclusively for the provision of the customer account.

Insofar as you consent to this processing, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR is the legal basis for the processing.

If the opening of the customer account also serves pre-contractual measures or the fulfilment of the contract, the legal basis for this processing is also Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b) GDPR.

You can revoke your consent to the opening and maintenance of the customer account at any time with effect for the future in accordance with Art. 7 para. 3 GDPR. All you have to do is inform us of your cancellation.

The data collected in this respect will be deleted as soon as processing is no longer necessary. However, we must comply with retention periods under tax and commercial law.

  • Newsletter

If you register for our free newsletter, the data requested from you for this purpose, i.e. your e-mail address and – optionally – your name and address, will be transmitted to us. At the same time, we store the IP address of the Internet connection from which you access our website as well as the date and time of your registration. As part of the further registration process, we will obtain your consent to send you the newsletter, describe the content in detail and refer you to this privacy policy. We use the data collected in this process exclusively for sending the newsletter – in particular, it is therefore not passed on to third parties.

The legal basis for this is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR.

You can revoke your consent to receive the newsletter at any time with effect for the future in accordance with Art. 7 para. 3 GDPR. All you have to do is inform us of your cancellation or click on the unsubscribe link contained in every newsletter.

  • Contact

If you contact us via contact form or e-mail, the data you provide will be used to process your enquiry. The provision of the data is necessary for processing and answering your enquiry – without it we cannot answer your enquiry or can only answer it to a limited extent.

The legal basis for this processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b) GDPR.

Your data will be deleted if your enquiry has been conclusively answered and the deletion does not conflict with any statutory retention obligations, such as in the case of any subsequent contract processing.

  • User contributions, comments and ratings

We offer you the opportunity to publish questions, answers, opinions or reviews, hereinafter referred to as “contributions”, on our website. If you make use of this offer, we will process and publish your contribution, the date and time of submission and the pseudonym you may have used.

The legal basis for this is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR. You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future in accordance with Art. 7 para. 3 GDPR. All you have to do is inform us of your cancellation.

We also process your IP address and email address. The IP address is processed because we have a legitimate interest in initiating or supporting further steps if your contribution infringes the rights of third parties and/or is otherwise unlawful.

The legal basis in this case is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in any necessary legal defence.

  • Subscription of contributions

If you publish contributions on our website, we also offer you the option of subscribing to any follow-up contributions from third parties. We process your email address in order to inform you about these follow-up posts by email.

The legal basis for this is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR. You can revoke your consent to this subscription at any time with effect for the future in accordance with Art. 7 para. 3 GDPR. All you have to do is inform us of your cancellation or click on the unsubscribe link contained in the respective email.

  • Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics on our website. This is a web analysis service provided by Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043 USA, hereinafter referred to as “Google”.

Through certification according to the EU-US Privacy Shield (“EU-US Privacy Shield”)

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

Google guarantees that the data protection requirements of the EU are also complied with when processing data in the USA.

The Google Analytics service is used to analyse the usage behaviour of our website. The legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in the analysis, optimisation and economic operation of our website.

Usage and user-related information, such as IP address, location, time or frequency of visits to our website, is transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. However, we use Google Analytics with the so-called anonymisation function. This function allows Google to truncate the IP address within the EU or EEA.

The data collected in this way is in turn used by Google to provide us with an analysis of the visit to our website and the usage activities there. This data can also be used to provide other services related to the use of our website and the use of the Internet.

Google states that it will not associate your IP address with any other data. Google also keeps

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

Google provides further data protection information for you, for example on the options for preventing the use of data.

Google also offers at

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

a so-called deactivation add-on along with further information on this. This add-on can be installed with the most common Internet browsers and offers you further control over the data that Google collects when you visit our website. The add-on informs the JavaScript (ga.js) of Google Analytics that information about your visit to our website should not be transmitted to Google Analytics. However, this does not prevent information from being transmitted to us or to other web analysis services. You can of course also find out whether and which other web analysis services we use in this privacy policy.

  • Google Fonts

We use Google Fonts on our website to display external fonts. This is a service provided by Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043 USA, hereinafter referred to as “Google”.

Through certification in accordance with 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 USA.

In order to enable the display of certain fonts on our website, a connection to the Google server in the USA is established when our website is accessed.

The legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in the optimisation and economic operation of our website.

The connection to Google established when you access our website enables Google to determine from which website your enquiry has been sent and to which IP address the display of the font is to be transmitted.

Google offers under

https://adssettings.google.com/authenticated

https://policies.google.com/privacy

further information, in particular on the options for preventing the use of data.

  • „Facebook“-Social-Plug-in

We use the plug-in of the social network Facebook on our website. Facebook is an internet service of Facebook Inc, 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA. In the EU, this service is in turn operated by Facebook Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Dublin 2, Ireland, hereinafter both referred to as “Facebook”.

Through certification in accordance with the EU-US Privacy Shield

https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt0000000GnywAAC&status=Active

Facebook guarantees that the data protection requirements of the EU will also be complied with when processing data in the USA.

The legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in improving the quality of our website.

Facebook provides further information about the possible plug-ins and their respective functions at

https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/

for you.

If the plug-in is stored on one of the pages you visit on our website, your internet browser will download a representation of the plug-in from the Facebook servers in the USA. For technical reasons, it is necessary for Facebook to process your IP address. The date and time of your visit to our website are also recorded.

If you are logged in to Facebook while you visit one of our plugged-in websites, the information collected by the plug-in about your specific visit will be recognised by Facebook. Facebook may assign the information collected in this way to your personal user account there. If you use the Facebook “Like” button, for example, this information will be stored in your Facebook user account and possibly published via the Facebook platform. If you wish to prevent this, you must either log out of Facebook before visiting our website or use an add-on for your internet browser to prevent the Facebook plug-in from loading.

Facebook provides further information about the collection and use of data as well as your rights and protection options in this regard in its privacy policy, available athttps://www.facebook.com/policy.php

  • „X“-Social-Plug-in (formerly Twitter)

Functions of the X (formerly Twitter) service are integrated on this website. These functions are offered by the parent company X Corp, 1355 Market Street, Suite 900, San Francisco, CA 94103, USA. The Twitter International Unlimited Company, One Cumberland Place, Fenian Street, Dublin 2, D02 AX07, Ireland, is responsible for the data processing of persons living outside the USA.

When the social media element is active, a direct connection is established between your device and the X server. X (formerly Twitter) thereby receives information about your visit to this website.

  • YouTube

We use YouTube on our website. This is a video portal of YouTube LLC, 901 Cherry Ave, 94066 San Bruno, CA, USA, hereinafter referred to as “YouTube”.

YouTube is a subsidiary of Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043 USA, hereinafter referred to as “Google”.

Through certification according to the EU-US Privacy Shield (“EU-US Privacy Shield”)

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

Google, and therefore also its subsidiary YouTube, guarantees that the data protection requirements of the EU will also be complied with when processing data in the USA.

We use YouTube in connection with the “extended data protection mode” function in order to be able to show you videos. The legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in improving the quality of our website. According to YouTube, the “Enhanced Privacy Mode” function means that the data described in more detail below is only transmitted to the YouTube server when you actually start a video.

Without this “extended data protection mode”, a connection to the YouTube server in the USA is established as soon as you access one of our web pages on which a YouTube video is embedded.

This connection is necessary in order to be able to display the respective video on our website via your Internet browser. In the course of this, YouTube will at least record and process your IP address, the date and time as well as the website you have visited. In addition, a connection to Google’s “DoubleClick” advertising network is established.

If you are logged in to YouTube at the same time, YouTube will assign the connection information to your YouTube account. If you wish to prevent this, you must either log out of YouTube before visiting our website or make the appropriate settings in your YouTube user account.

For the purpose of functionality and to analyse user behaviour, YouTube permanently stores cookies on your end device via your Internet browser. If you do not agree to this processing, you have the option of preventing the storage of cookies by changing the settings in your Internet browser. You can find more information on this above under “Cookies”.

Google provides further information about the collection and use of data as well as your rights and protection options in this regard in the information available at

  • Vimeo

We use “Vimeo” on our website to display videos. This is a service provided by Vimeo, LL C, 555 West 18 th Street, New York, New York 10011, USA, hereinafter referred to as “Vimeo”.

Some of the user data is processed on Vimeo servers in the USA. Through certification in accordance with the EU-US Privacy Shield

https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt00000008V77AAE&status=Active

Vimeo guarantees that the data protection requirements of the EU will also be complied with when processing data in the USA.

The legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in improving the quality of our website.

If you visit a page of our website in which a video is embedded, a connection to the Vimeo servers in the USA is established to display the video. For technical reasons, it is necessary for Vimeo to process your IP address. In addition, the date and time of your visit to our website are also recorded.

If you are logged in to Vimeo at the same time as you visit one of our websites in which a Vimeo video is embedded, Vimeo may assign the information collected in this way to your personal user account there. If you wish to prevent this, you must either log out of Vimeo before visiting our website or configure your Vimeo user account accordingly.

Vimeo uses the web analysis service Google Analytics for the purpose of functionality and usage analysis. Google Analytics stores cookies on your end device via your Internet browser and sends information about the use of our Internet pages in which a Vimeo video is embedded to Google. It cannot be ruled out that Google will process this information in the USA.

If you do not agree to this processing, you have the option of preventing the installation of cookies by making the appropriate settings in your Internet browser. Details on this can be found above under “Cookies”.

The legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in improving the quality of our website and in Vimeo’s legitimate interest in statistically analysing user behaviour for optimisation and marketing purposes.
