3. General information on data processing
3.1. Scope of the processing of personal data
As a matter of principle, we process personal data of our users only to the extent that this is necessary for the provision of a functional website as well as our content and services. The processing of personal data of our users is regularly carried out only with the consent of the user. An exception applies in those cases where it is not possible to obtain prior consent for factual reasons and the processing of the data is required by legal regulations.
3.2. Legal basis for the processing of personal data
Insofar as we obtain the consent of the data subject for processing operations of personal data, Art. 6 (1) p. 1 lit. a DSGVO serves as the legal basis.
When processing personal data that is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, Art. 6 (1) p. 1 lit. b DSGVO serves as the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations that are necessary for the performance of pre-contractual measures.
Insofar as processing of personal data is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Art. 6 (1) p. 1 lit. c DSGVO serves as the legal basis.

If the processing is necessary to protect 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 (1) p. 1 lit. f DSGVO serves as the legal basis for the processing.
3.3. Data deletion and storage period
The personal data of the data subject will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of storage ceases to apply. Storage may take place beyond this if this has been provided for by the European or national legislator in Union regulations, laws or other provisions to which the controller is subject. Blocking or deletion of data also takes place when a storage period prescribed by the aforementioned standards expires, unless there is a need for further storage of the data for the conclusion or performance of a contract.

We use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA and the representative in the Union Google Ireland Ltd, Gordon House, Barrow Street, D04 E5W5, Dublin, Ireland (hereinafter: Google). Google Analytics examines, among other things, the origin of visitors, the time they spend on individual pages, and the use of search engines, thus allowing better monitoring of the success of advertising campaigns. Google sets a cookie on your computer. This allows personal data to be stored and evaluated, in particular the activity of the user (especially which pages have been visited and which elements have been clicked on), device and browser information (especially the IP address and operating system), data about the advertisements displayed (especially which advertisements were displayed and whether the user clicked on them) and also data from advertising partners (especially pseudonymized user IDs).
We use Google Analytics (Universal Analytics) to evaluate your use of our online presence, to compile reports on your activities and to use other Google services related to the use of our online presence and internet usage.
We have requested the anonymization of IP addresses, whereby Google shortens your IP address as promptly as technically possible. However, it cannot be ruled out that your data will be transmitted to the servers of Google LLC based in the USA.
On behalf of the operator of this online presence, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the online presence, to compile reports on the activities of the online presence and to provide other services related to the use of the online presence and internet usage to the operator of the online presence.
For more information on the processing of data by Google, please click here:
https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en-US
2. Purpose of data processing
The use of Google Analytics (Universal Analytics) serves us to evaluate the use of our online presence as well as the targeted playout of advertising, to the people who have already expressed an initial interest by visiting our site.
3. Legal basis for data processing
The legal basis for the processing of personal data of users is basically the consent of the user according to Art. 6 para. 1 p.1 lit. a DSGVO.
4. Duration of storage
Your personal information will be stored for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Policy or until you exercise your right of withdrawal.
5. Possibility of revocation
You have the right to revoke your declaration of consent under data protection law at any time. The revocation of consent does not affect the lawfulness of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent until the revocation. You can prevent the collection as well as the processing of your personal data by Google by preventing the storage of third-party cookies on your computer, using the “Do Not Track” function of a supporting browser, disabling the execution of script code in your browser or installing a script blocker such as NoScript (https://noscript.net/) or Ghostery (https://www.ghostery.com) in your browser. You can also prevent the collection of data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the online presence (including your IP address) to Google and the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at the following link:

https://adssettings.google.com
For more information on how to object to and opt-out of Google, please visit: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en-US
6. Danger notice
Your personal data will also be transferred to the USA. There is no adequacy decision for the USA according to Art. 45 (3) DSGVO. We would like to point out that data transfer without an adequacy decision entails certain risks, which we would like to inform you about below:
Intelligence services in the USA take certain online identifiers (such as the IP address or unique identification numbers) as a starting point for monitoring individuals. In particular, it cannot be ruled out that these intelligence services have already collected information about you, with the help of which the data transmitted here can be traced back to you.
Providers of electronic communications services headquartered in the United States are subject to surveillance by U.S. intelligence agencies pursuant to 50 U.S. Code § 1881a (“FISA 702”). Accordingly, providers of electronic communications services headquartered in the U.S. have an obligation to provide personally identifiable information to U.S. authorities pursuant to 50 U.S. Code § 1881a, with no possible recourse available to you. Even encryption of data at the electronic communications service provider’s data centers may not provide adequate protection because, with respect to imported data in its possession or custody or under its control, an electronic communications service provider has a direct obligation to provide access to or surrender such data. This obligation may expressly extend to the cryptographic keys without which the data cannot be read.
The fact that this is not merely a “theoretical risk” is demonstrated by the ECJ’s ruling of July 16, 2020 (Case C 311/18, ,,Schrems-II”).
We have concluded guarantees with Google in the form of standard data protection clauses pursuant to Art. 46 (2) lit. c DSGVO. A copy of the standard data protection clauses can be requested from us.

This tool is intended to check whether a data entry is compliant and has not been made by a bot. To this end, Google ReCaptcha analyzes and authenticates the behavior of a visitor to an online presence with regard to various characteristics. As a result, personal data can be stored and evaluated, especially the activity of the user (in particular mouse movements and which elements have been clicked on) and device and browser information (in particular time, the IP address and the operating system).
The data is not associated with data that may be collected or used in connection with the parallel use of authenticated Google services such as Gmail.
Further information on the processing of data by Google can be found here:
