6) Use of Customer Data for Direct Advertising

6.1 Subscription to our e-mail newsletter If you subscribe to our e-mail newsletter, we will regularly send you information about our offers. The only mandatory information for sending the newsletter is your e-mail address. Providing further data is voluntary and is used to address you personally. For sending the newsletter, we use the so-called double opt-in procedure. This means that we will only send you an e-mail newsletter if you have expressly confirmed to us that you consent to receiving newsletters. We will then send you a confirmation e-mail asking you to confirm by clicking on a corresponding link that you wish to receive the newsletter in the future.

By activating the confirmation link, you give us your consent for the use of your personal data in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR. When you register for the newsletter, we store your IP address entered by the Internet Service Provider (ISP) as well as the date and time of registration in order to be able to trace any possible misuse of your e-mail address at a later date.

6.2 Newsletter dispatch via MailChimp Our e-mail newsletters are sent via the technical service provider The Rocket Science Group, LLC d/b/a MailChimp, 675 Ponce de Leon Ave NE, Suite 5000, Atlanta, GA 30308, USA (http://www.mailchimp.com/), to whom we pass on the data you provided when registering for the newsletter. This disclosure is made in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR and serves our legitimate interest in the use of an effective, secure, and user-friendly newsletter system. Please note that your data is usually transferred to a MailChimp server in the USA and stored there.

MailChimp uses this information to send and statistically evaluate the newsletters on our behalf. For evaluation, the e-mails sent contain so-called web beacons or tracking pixels, which are one-pixel image files stored on our website. This allows us to determine whether a newsletter message has been opened and which links, if any, have been clicked. With the help of web beacons, MailChimp automatically generates general, non-personal statistics about the response behavior to newsletter campaigns. On the basis of our legitimate interest in the statistical evaluation of newsletter campaigns to optimize advertising communication and better target recipient interests, data of the respective newsletter recipient (e-mail address, time of retrieval, IP address, browser type, and operating system) are also collected and utilized by the web beacons in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR. This data allows an individual conclusion to be drawn about the newsletter recipient and is processed by MailChimp for the automated creation of statistics that show whether a specific recipient has opened a newsletter message.

If you wish to deactivate the data analysis for statistical evaluation purposes, you must unsubscribe from the newsletter.

MailChimp may also use this data itself in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR on the basis of its own legitimate interest in the demand-oriented design and optimization of the service as well as for market research purposes, for example to determine which countries the recipients come from. However, MailChimp does not use the data of our newsletter recipients to write to them itself or to pass it on to third parties.

To protect your data in the USA, we have concluded a Data Processing Agreement with MailChimp based on the Standard Contractual Clauses of the European Commission to enable the transfer of your personal data to MailChimp. This data processing agreement can be viewed at the following internet address: https://mailchimp.com/legal/data-processing-addendum/

We pass on your payment data to the commissioned credit institution within the scope of payment processing, insofar as this is necessary for payment processing. If payment service providers are used, we will explicitly inform you of this below. The legal basis for the transfer of data is Art. 6 (1) lit. b GDPR.

7.2 Use of Payment Service Providers

PayPal: When paying via PayPal, credit card via PayPal, direct debit via PayPal or – if offered – „purchase on account“ or „installment payment“ via PayPal, we pass your payment data to PayPal (Europe) S.a.r.l. et Cie, S.C.A., 22-24 Boulevard Royal, L-2449 Luxembourg (hereinafter „PayPal“). The transfer takes place in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. b GDPR and only insofar as this is necessary for payment processing. PayPal reserves the right to conduct a credit check for the payment methods credit card via PayPal, direct debit via PayPal or – if offered – „purchase on account“ or „installment payment“ via PayPal. For this purpose, your payment data may be passed on to credit agencies in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR based on PayPal’s legitimate interest in determining your solvency. PayPal uses the result of the credit check with regard to the statistical probability of non-payment for the purpose of deciding on the provision of the respective payment method. The credit report may contain probability values (so-called score values). Insofar as score values are included in the result of the credit report, they are based on a scientifically recognized mathematical-statistical procedure. Address data, among other things, but not exclusively, are included in the calculation of the score values. For further information on data protection law, including the credit agencies used, please refer to PayPal’s privacy policy: https://www.paypal.com/de/webapps/mpp/ua/privacy-full You can object to this processing of your data at any time by sending a message to PayPal. However, PayPal may still be entitled to process your personal data if this is necessary for the contractual processing of payments.

8) Use of Social Media: Videos

Use of YouTube Videos This website uses the YouTube embedding function for the display and playback of videos from the provider „YouTube“, which belongs to Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland („Google“).

The extended data protection mode is used here, which, according to the provider’s information, only starts storing user information when the video(s) is/are played. If the playback of embedded YouTube videos is started, the provider „YouTube“ uses cookies to collect information about user behavior. According to „YouTube“, these are used, among other things, to record video statistics, improve user-friendliness, and prevent abusive behavior. If you are logged in to Google, your data will be directly assigned to your account when you click on a video. If you do not want the assignment to your profile on YouTube, you must log out before activating the button. Google stores your data (even for users who are not logged in) as usage profiles and evaluates them. Such an evaluation is carried out in particular in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR on the basis of Google’s legitimate interests in the insertion of personalized advertising, market research, and/or demand-oriented design of its website. You have a right of objection to the creation of these user profiles, whereby you must contact YouTube to exercise this. Within the scope of using YouTube, personal data may also be transmitted to the servers of Google LLC in the USA.

Regardless of a playback of the embedded videos, every time this website is called up, a connection to the Google network is established, which may trigger further data processing operations beyond our influence.

Further information on data protection at „YouTube“ can be found in the provider’s privacy policy at: https://www.google.de/intl/en/policies/privacy

Insofar as legally required, we have obtained your consent for the processing of your data as described above in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR. 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.

9) Online Marketing

9.1 Facebook Pixel for the creation of Custom Audiences with advanced data matching (with Cookie Consent Tool)Within our online offer, the so-called „Facebook Pixel“ of the social network Facebook is used in the mode of advanced data matching, which is operated by Facebook Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Dublin 2, Ireland („Facebook“).

On the basis of express consent, when a user clicks on an advertisement placed by us and played out on Facebook, an addition is added to the URL of our linked page by Facebook Pixel. This URL parameter is then written into the user’s browser after redirection via a cookie, which our linked page sets itself. In addition, specific customer data such as the e-mail address, which we collect on our website linked to the Facebook ad during processes such as purchases, account logins, or registrations, are captured by this cookie (advanced data matching). The cookie is then read by Facebook Pixel and enables the data, including specific customer data, to be forwarded to Facebook.

With the help of the Facebook Pixel with advanced data matching, it is possible for Facebook, on the one hand, to accurately determine the visitors of our online offer as a target group for the display of advertisements (so-called „Facebook Ads“). Accordingly, we use the Facebook Pixel with advanced data matching to display the Facebook Ads placed by us only to those Facebook users who have also shown an interest in our online offer or who have certain characteristics (e.g., interests in certain topics or products determined on the basis of the websites visited) which we transmit to Facebook (so-called „Custom Audiences“). With the help of the Facebook Pixel with advanced data matching, we also want to ensure that our Facebook Ads correspond to the potential interest of the users and are not annoying. This allows us to further evaluate the effectiveness of Facebook advertisements for statistical and market research purposes by tracking whether users were redirected to our website after clicking on a Facebook advertisement (so-called „conversion“). Compared to the standard version of Facebook Pixel, the advanced data matching function helps us to better measure the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns by capturing more attributed conversions.

All transmitted data is stored and processed by Facebook so that a connection to the respective user profile is possible and Facebook can use the data for its own advertising purposes, in accordance with the Facebook Data Use Policy (https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/). The data can enable Facebook and its partners to place advertisements on and off Facebook.

These processing operations take place exclusively if express consent is granted in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR.

Consent to the use of the Facebook Pixel may only be declared by users who are older than 16 years of age. If you are younger, we ask you to ask your legal guardians for permission.

The information generated by Facebook is usually transmitted to a Facebook server and stored there; this may also involve transmission to the servers of Facebook Inc. in the USA. You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future. To exercise your revocation, please remove the check mark next to the setting for „Facebook Pixel“ in the „Cookie Consent Tool“ integrated on the website.

9.2 Google AdSense This website uses Google AdSense, a web advertising service of Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland („Google“). Google AdSense uses so-called cookies, which are text files stored on your computer and which enable an analysis of your use of the website. In addition, Google AdSense also uses so-called „web beacons“ (small invisible graphics) to collect information, through the use of which simple actions such as visitor traffic on the website can be recorded, collected, and evaluated. The information generated by the cookie and/or web beacon (including your IP address) about your use of this website is usually transmitted to a Google server and stored there. This may also involve transmission to the servers of Google LLC in the USA.

Google uses the information obtained in this way to evaluate your usage behavior with regard to the AdSense ads. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google AdSense will not be merged with other Google data. The information collected by Google may be transferred to third parties if this is required by law and/or if third parties process this data on behalf of Google.

The described processing of data takes place in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR for the purpose of targeted advertising to the user by third-party advertisers whose ads are displayed on this website based on the evaluated user behavior. This processing also serves our financial interest in exploiting the economic potential of our website by displaying personalized third-party advertising content for a fee.

You can obtain further information about Google’s data protection provisions at the following internet address: https://www.google.de/policies/privacy/

You can permanently deactivate cookies for ad preferences by preventing them through a corresponding setting in your browser software or you can download and install the browser plug-in available under the following link: https://www.google.com/settings/ads/plugin?hl=en

Please note that certain functions of this website may not be used or may only be used to a limited extent if you have deactivated the use of cookies.

Insofar as legally required, we have obtained your consent for the processing of your data as described above in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR. You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future. To exercise your revocation, please follow the procedure for objection described above.

9.3 Use of Google Ads Conversion Tracking This website uses the online advertising program „Google Ads“ and, as part of Google Ads, the conversion tracking of Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland („Google“). We use the offer of Google Ads to draw attention to our attractive offers with the help of advertising material (so-called Google Adwords) on external websites. We can determine how successful the individual advertising measures are in relation to the data of the advertising campaigns. We are interested in showing you advertising that is of interest to you, making our website more interesting for you, and achieving a fair calculation of advertising costs.

The cookie for conversion tracking is set when a user clicks on an Ads advertisement placed by Google. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your terminal device. These cookies usually lose their validity after 30 days and are not used for personal identification. If the user visits certain pages of this website and the cookie has not yet expired, Google and we can recognize that the user clicked on the ad and was redirected to this page. Each Google Ads customer receives a different cookie. Cookies can therefore not be tracked via the websites of Google Ads customers. The information collected using the conversion cookie is used to generate conversion statistics for Google Ads customers who have opted for conversion tracking. The customers learn the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a page tagged with a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not receive any information with which users can be personally identified. If you do not wish to participate in tracking, you can block this use by deactivating the Google Conversion Tracking cookie via your internet browser under „User Settings“. You will then not be included in the conversion tracking statistics. We use Google Ads on the basis of our legitimate interest in targeted advertising in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR. Within the scope of using Google Ads, personal data may also be transmitted to the servers of Google LLC in the USA.

Further information on Google’s data protection provisions can be found at: https://www.google.de/intl/en/policies/privacy/

You can permanently object to the setting of cookies by Google Ads conversion tracking by downloading and installing the Google browser plug-in available at the following link: https://www.google.com/settings/ads/plugin?hl=en

Please note that certain functions of this website may not be used or may only be used to a limited extent if you have deactivated the use of cookies.

9.4 Google Marketing Platform This website uses the online marketing tool Google Marketing Platform of the operator Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland („GMP“).

GMP uses cookies to show users relevant ads, to improve campaign performance reports, or to prevent a user from seeing the same ads multiple times. Via a cookie ID, Google records which ads are displayed in which browser and can thus prevent them from being displayed multiple times. The processing is based on our legitimate interest in the optimal marketing of our website in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR.

In addition, GMP can use cookie IDs to record so-called conversions related to ad requests. This is the case, for example, when a user sees a GMP ad and later calls up the advertiser’s website using the same browser and buys something via this website. According to Google, GMP cookies do not contain any personal information.

Due to the marketing tools used, your browser automatically establishes a direct connection with the Google server. We have no influence on the scope and further use of the data collected by Google through the use of this tool and therefore inform you according to our state of knowledge as follows: By integrating GMP, Google receives the information that you have called up the corresponding part of our website or clicked on an advertisement from us. If you are registered with a Google service, Google can assign the visit to your account. Even if you are not registered with Google or have not logged in, there is a possibility that the provider will find out and store your IP address. Within the scope of using GMP, personal data may also be transmitted to the servers of Google LLC in the USA.

If you wish to object to participation in this tracking process, you can deactivate cookies for conversion tracking by setting your browser so that cookies from the domain www.googleadservices.com are blocked (see https://www.google.com/settings/ads), whereby this setting is deleted when you deactivate your cookies. Alternatively, you can find out about the setting of cookies from the Digital Advertising Alliance at www.aboutads.info and make your desired settings. Finally, you can set your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies and decide individually whether to accept them or exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general. If you do not accept cookies, the functionality of our website may be limited.

Further information on the data protection provisions of GMP by Google can be found at: https://www.google.de/policies/privacy/

Insofar as legally required, we have obtained your consent for the processing of your data as described above in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR.

If there are statutory retention periods for data that are processed within the framework of legal or quasi-legal obligations on the basis of Art. 6 (1) lit. b GDPR, this data is routinely deleted after the retention periods have expired, provided that it is no longer required for the fulfillment or initiation of the contract and/or no legitimate interest on our part continues to exist in the further storage. When processing personal data on the basis of Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR, this data is stored until the data subject exercises their right to object pursuant to Art. 21 (1) GDPR, unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which outweigh the interests, rights and freedoms of the data subject, or the processing serves the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims. When processing personal data for the purpose of direct advertising on the basis of Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR, this data is stored until the data subject exercises their right to object pursuant to Art. 21 (2) GDPR. Unless otherwise stated in the other information in this declaration regarding specific processing situations, stored personal data will otherwise be deleted when it is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected or otherwise processed.
