Processing personal data in third countries such as the USA, where many software manufacturers provide services and have their servers located, may mean that personal data is processed and stored in unexpected ways.<\/font><\/font><\/p><p><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">We expressly point out that, according to the European Court of Justice, there is currently no adequate level of protection for data transfer to the USA. Data processing by US services (such as Google Analytics) may result in data not being processed and stored anonymously. Furthermore, US government authorities may gain access to individual data. Furthermore, collected data may be linked to data from other services of the same provider, provided you have a corresponding user account. Where possible, we try to use server locations within the EU, if offered.<\/font><\/font><\/p><p><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">We will provide you with more detailed information about data transfers to third countries, where applicable, at the appropriate points in this privacy policy.<\/font><\/font><\/p><h2 id=\"sicherheit-datenverarbeitung\" class=\"adsimple-111956903\" data-fontsize=\"24\" data-lineheight=\"36px\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Security of data processing<\/font><\/font><\/h2><p><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">To protect personal data, we have implemented both technical and organizational measures.

Common browsers include Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Internet Explorer, and Microsoft Edge. Most websites store small text files in your browser. These files are called cookies.<\/font><\/font><\/p><p><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">One thing is undeniable: cookies are truly useful little helpers. Almost all websites use cookies. More precisely, they are HTTP cookies, as there are other cookies for other purposes as well. HTTP cookies are small files that our website stores on your computer. These cookie files are automatically stored in the cookie folder, the &#8220;brain&#8221; of your browser. A cookie consists of a name and a value. When defining a cookie, one or more additional attributes must be specified.<\/font><\/font><\/p><p><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Cookies store certain user data about you, such as language or personal site settings. When you visit our site again, your browser transmits the &#8220;user-related&#8221; information back to our site. Thanks to cookies, our website knows who you are and offers you the settings you are used to. In some browsers, each cookie has its own file; in others, such as Firefox, all cookies are stored in a single file.<\/font><\/font><\/p><p><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">The following graphic shows a possible interaction between a web browser, such as Chrome, and the web server.

First-party cookies are created directly by our site, while third-party cookies are created by partner websites (e.g., Google Analytics). Each cookie must be evaluated individually, as each cookie stores different data. The expiration time of a cookie also varies, from a few minutes to a few years.

At this point, we would like to briefly discuss the different types of HTTP cookies.<\/font><\/font><\/p><p><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">There are four types of cookies:<\/font><\/font><\/p><p><strong class=\"adsimple-111956903\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Essential cookies<\/font><\/font><br><\/strong><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"> These cookies are necessary to ensure basic website functionality.

They are used to deliver customized advertising to the user. This can be very useful, but also very annoying.<\/font><\/font><\/p><p><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Typically, when you first visit a website, you&#8217;ll be asked which of these cookie types you&#8217;d like to allow. And, of course, this decision will also be saved in a cookie.<\/font><\/font><\/p><p><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">If you would like to know more about cookies and are not afraid of technical documentation, we recommend&nbsp; <\/font><\/font><a class=\"adsimple-111956903\" href=\"https:\/\/datatracker.ietf.org\/doc\/html\/rfc6265\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">https:\/\/datatracker.ietf.org\/doc\/html\/rfc6265<\/font><\/font><\/a><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"> , the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) Request for Comments called \u201cHTTP State Management Mechanism\u201d.<\/font><\/font><\/p><h3 class=\"adsimple-111956903\" data-fontsize=\"21\" data-lineheight=\"31px\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Purpose of processing via cookies<\/font><\/font><\/h3><p><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">The purpose ultimately depends on the specific cookie.

This makes it possible to evaluate pseudonymous user profiles.<\/font><\/font><\/p><p><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">To analyze our website with Google Analytics, a property ID must be inserted into the tracking code.

Most of its servers are located in the United States, and consequently, your data is mostly stored on American servers. You can find out exactly where Google&#8217;s data centers are located here:&nbsp; <\/font><\/font><a class=\"adsimple-111956903\" href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/about\/datacenters\/locations\/?hl=de\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">https:\/\/www.google.com\/about\/datacenters\/inside\/locations\/?hl=de<\/font><\/font><\/a><\/p><p><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Your data is distributed across multiple physical storage devices. This has the advantage of making it faster to access and better protected from tampering. Every Google data center has emergency backup programs for your data. If, for example, Google&#8217;s hardware fails or natural disasters cripple servers, the risk of service interruption at Google remains low.<\/font><\/font><\/p><p><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">The retention period for the data depends on the properties used. When using the newer Google Analytics 4 properties, the retention period for your user data is set to 14 months. For other so-called event data, we have the option of choosing a retention period of 2 months or 14 months.<\/font><\/font><\/p><p><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">For Universal Analytics properties, Google Analytics defaults to a retention period of 26 months for your user data. After that, your user data is deleted. However, we have the option of choosing the retention period for user data ourselves. We have five options available for this:<\/font><\/font><\/p><ul class=\"adsimple-111956903\"><li class=\"adsimple-111956903\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Deletion after 14 months<\/font><\/font><\/li><li class=\"adsimple-111956903\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Deletion after 26 months<\/font><\/font><\/li><li class=\"adsimple-111956903\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Deletion after 38 months<\/font><\/font><\/li><li class=\"adsimple-111956903\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Deletion after 50 months<\/font><\/font><\/li><li class=\"adsimple-111956903\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">No automatic deletion<\/font><\/font><\/li><\/ul><p><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Additionally, you can choose to have data deleted only if you no longer visit our website within the period we select. In this case, the retention period will be reset each time you visit our website again within the specified period.<\/font><\/font><\/p><p><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Once the specified period has expired, the data will be deleted once a month. This retention period applies to your data associated with cookies, user recognition, and advertising IDs (e.g., cookies from the DoubleClick domain). Report results are based on aggregated data and are stored independently of user data. Aggregated data is the merging of individual pieces of data into a larger unit.<\/font><\/font><\/p><h3 class=\"adsimple-111956903\" data-fontsize=\"21\" data-lineheight=\"31px\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">How can I delete my data or prevent data storage?<\/font><\/font><\/h3><p><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Under European Union data protection law, you have the right to access, update, delete, or restrict your data.

This data is collected and stored, managed and processed by the respective analytics tool provider (also known as a tracking tool). This data is used to create analyses of user behavior on our website and make it available to us as the website operator. In addition, most tools offer various testing options. For example, we can test which offers or content are most popular with our visitors. To do this, we show you two different offers for a limited period of time. After the test (a so-called A\/B test), we know which product or content our website visitors find more interesting. For such testing procedures, as for other analytics procedures, user profiles can be created and the data stored in cookies.<\/font><\/font><\/p><h3 class=\"adsimple-111956903\" data-fontsize=\"21\" data-lineheight=\"31px\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Why do we use web analytics?<\/font><\/font><\/h3><p><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">We have a clear goal in mind with our website: to provide the best web offering on the market for our industry. To achieve this goal, we want to offer the best and most interesting offerings on the market, while also ensuring that you feel completely at home on our website. With the help of web analysis tools, we can take a closer look at the behavior of our website visitors and then improve our web offering for you and us. For example, we can determine the average age of our visitors, where they come from, when our website is most visited, or which content or products are particularly popular. All of this information helps us optimize the website and thus adapt it as best as possible to your needs, interests, and wishes.<\/font><\/font><\/p><h3 class=\"adsimple-111956903\" data-fontsize=\"21\" data-lineheight=\"31px\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">What data is processed?<\/font><\/font><\/h3><p><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Exactly which data is stored depends, of course, on the analysis tools used. However, as a general rule, we store information such as the content you view on our website, the buttons or links you click, the time you access a page, the browser you use, the device (PC, tablet, smartphone, etc.) you use to visit the website, and the computer system you use. If you have consented to the collection of location data, this may also be processed by the web analysis tool provider.<\/font><\/font><\/p><p><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Your IP address is also stored. According to the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), IP addresses are personal data. However, your IP address is usually stored pseudonymously (i.e., in an unrecognizable and abbreviated form). For the purposes of testing, web analysis, and web optimization, no direct data such as your name, age, address, or email address is stored. All of this data, if collected, is stored pseudonymously. This means that you cannot be identified as an individual.<\/font><\/font><\/p><p><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">The following example shows schematically how Google Analytics works as an example of client-based web tracking with JavaScript code.<\/font><\/font><\/p><p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" role=\"img\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adsimple.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/google-analytics-dataflow.svg\" alt=\"Schematic data flow in Google Analytics\" width=\"300\" height=\"147\"><\/p><p><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">How long the respective data is stored always depends on the provider.

Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland) is responsible for all Google services in Europe. This Tag Manager is one of many helpful marketing products from Google. Using Google Tag Manager, we can centrally integrate and manage code snippets from various tracking tools we use on our website.<\/font><\/font><\/p><p><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">In this privacy policy, we want to explain to you in more detail what the Google Tag Manager does, why we use it and how data is processed.<\/font><\/font><\/p><p><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Google Tag Manager is an organizational tool that allows us to centrally integrate and manage website tags via a user interface. Tags are small pieces of code that, for example, record (track) your activities on our website. JavaScript code snippets are inserted into the source code of our site. The tags often come from Google&#8217;s internal products, such as Google Ads or Google Analytics, but tags from other companies can also be integrated and managed via the manager. Such tags perform various tasks. They can collect browser data, feed marketing tools with data, integrate buttons, set cookies, and even track users across multiple websites.<\/font><\/font><\/p><h3 class=\"adsimple-111956903\" data-fontsize=\"21\" data-lineheight=\"31px\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Why do we use Google Tag Manager for our website?<\/font><\/font><\/h3><p><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">As the saying goes: Organization is half the battle! And that naturally also applies to the maintenance of our website. In order to make our website as good as possible for you and everyone interested in our products and services, we need various tracking tools such as Google Analytics. The data collected by these tools shows us what interests you most, where we can improve our services, and which people we should show our offers to. And for this tracking to work, we need to integrate the appropriate JavaScript code into our website. In principle, we could integrate each code section of the individual tracking tools separately into our source code. However, this takes a relatively long time and it&#8217;s easy to lose track. That&#8217;s why we use Google Tag Manager. We can easily integrate the necessary scripts and manage them from a single location. In addition, Google Tag Manager offers an easy-to-use interface and requires no programming knowledge. This way, we manage to keep order in our tag jungle.<\/font><\/font><\/p><h3 class=\"adsimple-111956903\" data-fontsize=\"21\" data-lineheight=\"31px\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">What data is stored by Google Tag Manager?<\/font><\/font><\/h3><p><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">The Tag Manager itself is a domain that does not set cookies and does not store any data. It acts as a mere &#8220;manager&#8221; of the implemented tags. The data is collected by the individual tags of the various web analysis tools. The data is essentially passed through to the individual tracking tools in Google Tag Manager and is not stored.<\/font><\/font><\/p><p><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">However, the situation is quite different with the tags embedded in various web analysis tools, such as Google Analytics. Depending on the analysis tool, various data about your web behavior is collected, stored, and processed, usually with the help of cookies. Please read our privacy policies for the individual analysis and tracking tools we use on our website.<\/font><\/font><\/p><p><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">In the Tag Manager account settings, we have allowed Google to receive anonymized data from us. However, this only relates to the use and utilization of our Tag Manager and not to your data stored via the code sections. We enable Google and others to receive selected data in anonymized form. We therefore consent to the anonymous sharing of our website data. Despite extensive research, we were unable to determine exactly which aggregated and anonymous data is shared. In any case, Google deletes all information that could identify our website. Google aggregates the data with hundreds of other anonymous website data and, as part of benchmarking measures, creates user trends. Benchmarking compares its own results with those of competitors.

The plugin is often simply called MonsterInsights. With the help of the plugin, your user data can be stored, managed, and processed by Google Analytics. For example, if you click on a link, Google Analytics saves this &#8220;click&#8221; via the integrated plugin and offers insightful web analyses using this collected data. In this privacy policy, we go into more detail about MonsterInsights and inform you which data is stored, where, and how.<\/font><\/font><\/p><p><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">MonsterInsights uses the Google Analytics Reporting API for its services to collect data about our website and visitor behavior. This data is analyzed and then appears as charts, graphs, and tables directly on our WordPress dashboard. For the plugin to work, a Google Analytics tracking code is embedded in our WordPress site. The plugin offers features such as page analytics, statistics, and ad tracking.

Google Analytics creates a random, unique ID linked to your browser cookie. This allows you to be recognized as a new visitor to our website. If you visit us again, you will be recognized as a &#8220;returning&#8221; user. All collected data is then stored with this user ID. This way, pseudonymous user profiles are created and evaluated.

Your IP address can also be used to determine your approximate location, and technical information such as device type, browser type, internet provider, or screen resolution is also stored.<\/font><\/font><\/p><p><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">If you would like to know more about data storage and processing, we recommend that you read our general privacy policy for Google Analytics.<\/font><\/font><\/p><h3 class=\"adsimple-111956903\" data-fontsize=\"21\" data-lineheight=\"31px\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">How long and where is the data stored?<\/font><\/font><\/h3><p><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">MonsterInsights does not save the collected data, but forwards it to Google Analytics.

If you have agreed to receive our emails or newsletters, your data will also be processed and stored. Email marketing is a subset of online marketing. It involves sending news or general information about a company, products, or services via email to a specific group of people who are interested.<\/font><\/font><\/p><p><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">If you would like to participate in our email marketing (usually via newsletter), you usually just need to register with your email address. To do so, you fill out an online form and submit it. However, we may also ask for your title and name so that we can contact you personally.<\/font><\/font><\/p><p><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Generally, subscribing to newsletters works using the so-called &#8220;double opt-in process.&#8221; After you have registered for our newsletter on our website, you will receive an email confirming your newsletter subscription. This ensures that the email address belongs to you and that no one has registered with someone else&#8217;s email address. We, or a notification tool we use, logs each individual registration. This is necessary so that we can verify the legally correct registration process. Typically, the time of registration, the time of registration confirmation, and your IP address are saved. Additionally, any changes you make to your stored data are also logged.<\/font><\/font><\/p><h3 class=\"adsimple-111956903\" data-fontsize=\"21\" data-lineheight=\"31px\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Why do we use email marketing?<\/font><\/font><\/h3><p><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">We naturally want to stay in touch with you and always provide you with the most important news about our company. To this end, we use email marketing \u2013 often simply referred to as \u201cnewsletter\u201d \u2013 as an essential component of our online marketing. If you agree or if it is permitted by law, we will send you newsletters, system emails or other notifications by email. When we use the term \u201cnewsletter\u201d in the following text, we primarily mean regularly sent emails. Of course, we do not want to bother you with our newsletter in any way. That&#8217;s why we always strive to offer only relevant and interesting content. This way you can learn more about our company, our services or products. Because we are constantly improving our offerings, you will always find out about new developments or special, lucrative promotions via our newsletter. If we commission a service provider who offers a professional distribution tool for our email marketing, we do so so that we can offer you fast and secure newsletters. The purpose of our email marketing is basically to inform you about new offers and to get closer to our business goals.<\/font><\/font><\/p><h3 class=\"adsimple-111956903\" data-fontsize=\"21\" data-lineheight=\"31px\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">What data is processed?<\/font><\/font><\/h3><p><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">If you subscribe to our newsletter via our website, you will confirm your membership in an email list via email. In addition to your IP address and email address, your title, name, address, and telephone number may also be saved. However, only if you consent to this data storage. The data marked as such is necessary for you to participate in the service offered. Providing this information is voluntary; however, failure to provide it will prevent you from using the service. In addition, information about your device or your preferred content may also be saved on our website. You can find out more about the storage of data when you visit a website in the &#8220;Automatic Data Storage&#8221; section.

You will usually find a link to cancel your newsletter subscription right at the end of every email. If you really cannot find the link in the newsletter, please contact us by email and we will cancel your newsletter subscription immediately.<\/font><\/font><\/p><h3 class=\"adsimple-111956903\" data-fontsize=\"21\" data-lineheight=\"31px\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Legal basis<\/font><\/font><\/h3><p><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Our newsletter is sent based on your&nbsp; <\/font><\/font><strong class=\"adsimple-111956903\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">consent<\/font><\/font><\/strong><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"> &nbsp;(Article 6 (1) (a) GDPR).

This means that if you have consented to the use of such push notifications, we can send you short news using a software tool. Push notifications are a form of text message that appears directly on your smartphone or other devices such as tablets or PCs if you have registered for them. You will receive these messages even if you are not on our website or actively using our services. Data about your location and usage behavior may also be collected and stored.<\/font><\/font><\/p><h3 class=\"adsimple-111956903\" data-fontsize=\"21\" data-lineheight=\"31px\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Why do we use push notifications?<\/font><\/font><\/h3><p><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">On the one hand, we use push notifications to fully provide the services we have contractually agreed upon with you. On the other hand, the messages also serve our online marketing purposes. With these messages, we can inform you about our services or products. Especially when there is news within our company, we can inform you immediately. We want to get to know the preferences and habits of all our users as well as possible in order to continuously improve our offering.<\/font><\/font><\/p><h3 class=\"adsimple-111956903\" data-fontsize=\"21\" data-lineheight=\"31px\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">What data is processed?<\/font><\/font><\/h3><p><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">In order to receive push notifications, you must also confirm that you wish to receive these messages. The data collected during the consent process will also be stored, managed, and processed. This is necessary to prove and recognize that a user has consented to receive push notifications. For this purpose, a so-called device token or push token is stored in your browser. Typically, your location data or the location of your device is also stored.<\/font><\/font><\/p><p><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">To ensure we always send interesting and important push notifications, the way we handle messages is also statistically analyzed. This allows us to see, for example, whether and when you open the message. Using this information, we can adapt our communication strategy to your wishes and interests. Although this stored data can be assigned to you, we do not want to monitor you as an individual. Rather, we are interested in the data collected by all our users so that we can make optimizations. You can find out exactly which data is stored in the privacy policies of the respective service providers.<\/font><\/font><\/p><h3 class=\"adsimple-111956903\" data-fontsize=\"21\" data-lineheight=\"31px\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Duration of data processing<\/font><\/font><\/h3><p><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">How long the data is processed and stored depends primarily on the tool we use. You can find out more about the data processing of the individual tools below. The providers&#8217; privacy policies usually state exactly which data is stored and processed and for how long. In principle, personal data is only processed for as long as it is necessary to provide our services. When data is stored in cookies, the storage period varies greatly. The data can be deleted immediately after you leave a website, but it can also be stored for several years. You should therefore look at each individual cookie in detail if you want to know more about data storage. You can usually find informative information about the individual cookies in the privacy policies of the individual providers.<\/font><\/font><\/p><h3 class=\"adsimple-111956903\" data-fontsize=\"21\" data-lineheight=\"31px\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Legal basis<\/font><\/font><\/h3><p><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">It may also be necessary for push notifications to fulfill certain contractual obligations. For example, so that we can inform you about technical or organizational news. In this case, the legal basis is Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR.<\/font><\/font><\/p><p><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">If this is not the case, the push messages will only be sent based on your consent. Our push messages may, in particular, contain advertising content. The push messages may also be sent depending on your location, which is displayed on your device. The analytical evaluations mentioned above are also based on your consent to receive such messages. The legal basis in this regard is Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR.

The currently most frequently used messenger function is WhatsApp, but there are, of course, many different providers offering messenger functions specifically for websites. If content is end-to-end encrypted, this will be indicated in the individual data protection texts or in the privacy policy of the respective provider. End-to-end encryption simply means that the content of a message is not visible even to the provider. However, information about your device, location settings, and other technical data may still be processed and stored.<\/font><\/font><\/p><h3 class=\"adsimple-111956903\" data-fontsize=\"21\" data-lineheight=\"31px\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Why do we use messenger and communication features?<\/font><\/font><\/h3><p><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Communication options with you are extremely important to us. Ultimately, we want to talk to you and answer any questions you may have about our service as best as possible. Effective communication is a key part of our service. With our practical messenger and communication functions, you can always choose the one you prefer. In exceptional cases, however, we may not be able to answer certain questions via chat or messenger. This is the case, for example, when it concerns internal contractual matters. In these cases, we recommend other communication options such as email or telephone.<\/font><\/font><\/p><p><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">We generally assume that we remain responsible for data protection even when we use the services of a social media platform. However, the European Court of Justice has ruled that in certain cases, the operator of the social media platform may be jointly responsible with us within the meaning of Art. 26 GDPR. Where this is the case, we will specifically point this out and work on the basis of a relevant agreement. The essence of the agreement is set out below for the relevant platform.<\/font><\/font><\/p><p><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Please note that when using our integrated elements, your data may also be processed outside the European Union, as many providers, such as Facebook Messenger or WhatsApp, are US companies.

The data can be deleted immediately after you leave a website, but it can also be stored for several years.

A chat offers the opportunity to write or speak to each other with minimal delay. A chatbot is software that attempts to answer your question and informs you about news, if necessary. Using these means of communication may also result in the processing and storage of your personal data.<\/font><\/font><\/p><h3 class=\"adsimple-111956903\" data-fontsize=\"21\" data-lineheight=\"31px\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Why do we use chatbots?<\/font><\/font><\/h3><p><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Communication options with you are important to us. Ultimately, we want to talk to you and answer all possible questions about our service in the best possible way. Effective communication is an important part of our service. Chatbots offer the great advantage that we can answer frequently asked questions automatically using this software. This saves us time, and you still receive detailed and helpful answers. If the chatbot can&#8217;t help you, you can of course always contact us personally.<\/font><\/font><\/p><p><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Please note that when using our built-in elements, your data may also be processed outside the European Union, as many providers are US companies. This may make it more difficult for you to assert or enforce your rights regarding your personal data.<\/font><\/font><\/p><h3 class=\"adsimple-111956903\" data-fontsize=\"21\" data-lineheight=\"31px\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">What data is processed?<\/font><\/font><\/h3><p><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">It may happen that you also use the chat services on other websites\/platforms. In this case, your user ID will also be stored on this website&#8217;s servers. We may also be informed about which user used the chat at what time. The content is also stored. Exactly which data is stored depends on the respective service. Typically, however, this includes contact information such as email address or telephone number, IP address, and various usage data.<\/font><\/font><\/p><p><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">If you have consented to the use of the chat function, this consent, along with any registration, will also be saved or logged. We do this so that we can provide evidence of registration or consent if required by law.<\/font><\/font><\/p><p><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">The provider of a chat platform can also learn when you chat and also receives technical information about the device you use. Exactly which information is stored and processed also depends on your PC settings. In many cases, data about your approximate location may be collected. This is done to optimize the chat services and to ensure greater security. Furthermore, the information can also be used to implement personalized advertising and marketing measures.<\/font><\/font><\/p><p><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">If you have consented to a chatbot sending you messages, you can of course deactivate this activation at any time. The chatbot also serves as a guide and shows you how to unsubscribe from this feature. All your related data will then be deleted from the recipient directory.<\/font><\/font><\/p><p><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">We use the above-mentioned data to address you personally via chat, to answer your questions and inquiries, or to send you potential content.

You can find out more about how the individual tools process data below. The providers&#8217; privacy policies usually state exactly which data is stored and processed for how long. In principle, personal data is only processed for as long as it is necessary to provide our services. When data is stored in cookies, the storage period varies greatly. The data can be deleted immediately after you leave a website, but it can also be stored for several years. You should therefore look at each individual cookie in detail if you want to know more about data storage.

With the help of advertisements (Facebook Ads), we can reach precisely these people. However, in order to show users suitable advertising, Facebook needs information about people&#8217;s wishes and needs. This provides the company with information about user behavior (and contact details) on our website. This allows Facebook to collect better user data and show interested people suitable advertisements about our products or services. These tools thus enable customized advertising campaigns on Facebook.<\/font><\/font><\/p><p><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Facebook calls data about your behavior on our website &#8220;event data.&#8221; This is also used for measurement and analytics services. Facebook can thus create &#8220;campaign reports&#8221; on our behalf about the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns. Furthermore, analytics give us better insight into how you use our services, website, or products. This allows us to use some of these tools to optimize your user experience on our website. For example, you can use social plug-ins to share content from our site directly on Facebook.<\/font><\/font><\/p><h3 class=\"adsimple-111956903\" data-fontsize=\"21\" data-lineheight=\"31px\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">What data are stored by Facebook tools?<\/font><\/font><\/h3><p><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">By using certain Facebook tools, personal data (customer data) may be sent to Facebook. Depending on the tools used, customer data such as name, address, telephone number, and IP address may be sent.<\/font><\/font><\/p><p><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Facebook uses this information to compare the data with the data it has about you (if you are a Facebook member). Before customer data is transmitted to Facebook, a process called &#8220;hashing&#8221; occurs. This means that a data set of any size is transformed into a character string. This also serves to encrypt data.<\/font><\/font><\/p><p><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">In addition to contact details, &#8220;event data&#8221; is also transmitted. &#8220;Event data&#8221; refers to the information we receive about you on our website. For example, which subpages you visit or which products you purchase from us. Facebook does not share the information received with third parties (such as advertisers) unless the company has explicit permission or is legally obligated to do so. &#8220;Event data&#8221; can also be linked to contact details. This enables Facebook to offer better, personalized advertising. After the aforementioned matching process, Facebook deletes the contact details.<\/font><\/font><\/p><p><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">In order to deliver optimized advertisements, Facebook only uses event data if it has been combined with other data (collected by Facebook in other ways). Facebook also uses this event data for security, protection, development, and research purposes. Much of this data is transferred to Facebook via cookies. Cookies are small text files that are used to store data or information in browsers. Depending on the tools used and whether you are a Facebook member, different numbers of cookies will be created in your browser.

User data may be processed so that we can specifically address users interested in us via social networks. Furthermore, elements of a social media platform may also be embedded directly into our website. This is the case, for example, if you click a so-called social button on our website and are redirected directly to our social media presence. Social media refers to websites and apps through which registered members can produce content, share content openly or in specific groups, and network with other members.<\/font><\/font><\/p><h3 class=\"adsimple-111956903\" data-fontsize=\"21\" data-lineheight=\"31px\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Why do we use social media?<\/font><\/font><\/h3><p><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">For years, social media platforms have been the place where people communicate and connect online. Our social media presence allows us to bring our products and services closer to prospective customers. The social media elements integrated into our website help you quickly and seamlessly access our social media content.<\/font><\/font><\/p><p><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">The data stored and processed through your use of a social media channel primarily serves the purpose of conducting web analytics. The goal of these analyses is to develop more precise and personalized marketing and advertising strategies. Depending on your behavior on a social media platform, the evaluated data can be used to draw appropriate conclusions about your interests and create so-called user profiles. This also enables the platforms to present you with tailored advertisements. Cookies are usually placed in your browser for this purpose, which store data about your usage behavior.<\/font><\/font><\/p><p><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">We generally assume that we remain responsible for data protection even when we use the services of a social media platform. However, the European Court of Justice has ruled that in certain cases, the operator of the social media platform may be jointly responsible with us within the meaning of Art. 26 GDPR. Where this is the case, we will specifically point this out and work on the basis of a relevant agreement. The essence of the agreement is then reproduced below for the relevant platform.<\/font><\/font><\/p><p><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Please note that when using social media platforms or our integrated elements, your data may also be processed outside the European Union, as many social media channels, such as Facebook or Twitter, are American companies. This may make it more difficult for you to exercise or enforce your rights regarding your personal data.<\/font><\/font><\/p><h3 class=\"adsimple-111956903\" data-fontsize=\"21\" data-lineheight=\"31px\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">What data is processed?<\/font><\/font><\/h3><p><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Exactly which data is stored and processed depends on the respective social media platform provider. However, it typically includes data such as telephone numbers, email addresses, data you enter into a contact form, user data such as which buttons you click, who you like or follow, when you visited which pages, information about your device, and your IP address. Most of this data is stored in cookies. Especially if you have a profile on the social media channel you visit and are logged in, data can be linked to your profile.<\/font><\/font><\/p><p><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">All data collected via a social media platform is also stored on the providers&#8217; servers. Therefore, only the providers have access to the data and can provide you with the appropriate information or make changes.<\/font><\/font><\/p><p><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">If you want to know exactly which data is stored and processed by social media providers and how you can object to data processing, you should carefully read the respective company&#8217;s privacy policy. If you have any questions about data storage and processing or wish to assert your corresponding rights, we recommend that you contact the provider directly.<\/font><\/font><\/p><h3 class=\"adsimple-111956903\" data-fontsize=\"21\" data-lineheight=\"31px\"><span class=\"adsimple-111956903\" data-sheets-value=\"{&quot;1&quot;:2,&quot;2&quot;:&quot;Wo und wie lange werden Daten gespeichert?&quot;}\" data-sheets-userformat=\"{&quot;2&quot;:769,&quot;3&quot;:{&quot;1&quot;:0},&quot;11&quot;:4,&quot;12&quot;:0}\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Duration of data processing<\/font><\/font><\/span><\/h3><p><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">We will inform you below about the duration of data processing, as soon as we have further information. For example, the social media platform Facebook stores data until it is no longer needed for its own purposes. However, customer data that is compared with its own user data is deleted within two days. Generally, we only process personal data for as long as absolutely necessary to provide our services and products. If required by law, such as in the case of accounting, this storage period may be exceeded.<\/font><\/font><\/p><h3 class=\"adsimple-111956903\" data-fontsize=\"21\" data-lineheight=\"31px\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Right of objection<\/font><\/font><\/h3><p><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">You also have the right and option to revoke your consent to the use of cookies or third-party services, such as embedded social media elements, at any time. This can be done either via our cookie management tool or via other opt-out functions. For example, you can also prevent data collection through cookies by managing, deactivating, or deleting cookies in your browser.<\/font><\/font><\/p><p><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Since social media tools may use cookies, we also recommend our general privacy policy regarding cookies.

For this request, your email address is sent in encrypted or hashed form, along with your IP address and our URL, to the Gravatar or Automattic servers. This checks whether this email address is registered with Gravatar.<\/font><\/font><\/p><p><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">If this is the case, the image stored there (Gravatar) will be displayed along with the published comment. If you have registered an email address with Gravatar and comment on our website, additional data will be transferred to Gravatar, stored, and processed. In addition to your IP address and user behavior data, this includes, for example, browser type, unique device identifier, preferred language, date and time of page entry, operating system, and information about the mobile network.

Instagram is a social media platform of the company Instagram LLC, 1601 Willow Rd, Menlo Park CA 94025, USA. Instagram has been a subsidiary of Meta Platforms Inc. since 2012 and is one of the Facebook products. Embedding Instagram content on our website is called embedding. This allows us to show you content such as buttons, photos or videos from Instagram directly on our website. When you visit web pages on our website that have an integrated Instagram function, data is transmitted to, stored and processed by Instagram. Instagram uses the same systems and technologies as Facebook. Your data is therefore processed across all Facebook companies.<\/font><\/font><\/p><p><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Below, we want to give you a more detailed insight into why Instagram collects data, what data it collects, and how you can largely control data processing. Since Instagram is part of Meta Platforms Inc., we obtain our information from both the Instagram guidelines and the Meta privacy policy itself.<\/font><\/font><\/p><p><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Instagram is one of the most popular social media networks in the world. Instagram combines the benefits of a blog with those of audiovisual platforms like YouTube or Vimeo. You can upload photos and short videos to &#8220;Insta&#8221; (as many users casually call the platform), edit them with various filters, and share them on other social networks. And if you don&#8217;t want to be active yourself, you can also just follow other interesting users.<\/font><\/font><\/p><h3 class=\"adsimple-111956903\" data-fontsize=\"21\" data-lineheight=\"31px\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Why do we use Instagram on our website?<\/font><\/font><\/h3><p><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Instagram is the social media platform that has really taken off in recent years. And of course, we&#8217;ve responded to this boom. We want you to feel as comfortable as possible on our website. That&#8217;s why we take a natural approach to presenting our content in a varied way. Embedded Instagram features allow us to enrich our content with helpful, funny, or exciting content from the Instagram world. Since Instagram is a subsidiary of Facebook, the data collected can also be used to personalize advertising on Facebook. This way, our ads only reach people who are genuinely interested in our products or services.<\/font><\/font><\/p><p><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Instagram also uses the collected data for measurement and analysis purposes. We receive aggregated statistics and thus gain more insight into your preferences and interests. It&#8217;s important to note that these reports do not identify you personally.<\/font><\/font><\/p><h3 class=\"adsimple-111956903\" data-fontsize=\"21\" data-lineheight=\"31px\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">What data does Instagram store?<\/font><\/font><\/h3><p><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">When you visit one of our pages that has integrated Instagram features (such as Instagram images or plug-ins), your browser automatically connects to Instagram&#8217;s servers. Data is sent to Instagram, stored, and processed, regardless of whether you have an Instagram account or not. This includes information about our website, your computer, purchases made, advertisements you see, and how you use our services. Furthermore, the date and time of your interaction with Instagram are also stored. If you have an Instagram account or are logged in, Instagram stores significantly more data about you.<\/font><\/font><\/p><p><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Facebook differentiates between customer data and event data. We assume that this is also the case with Instagram. Customer data includes, for example, name, address, telephone number, and IP address. This customer data will only be transmitted to Instagram after it has been &#8220;hashed.&#8221; Hashing means converting a data set into a character string. This allows contact details to be encrypted. The aforementioned &#8220;event data&#8221; will also be transmitted. Facebook \u2013 and consequently Instagram too \u2013 defines &#8220;event data&#8221; as data about your user behavior. It may also happen that contact details are combined with event data. The collected contact details will be compared with the data that Instagram already has about you.<\/font><\/font><\/p><p><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">The collected data is transmitted to Facebook via small text files (cookies), which are usually placed in your browser. Depending on the Instagram features used and whether you have an Instagram account, different amounts of data are stored.<\/font><\/font><\/p><p><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">We assume that data processing on Instagram works the same way as on Facebook. This means: if you have an Instagram account or&nbsp; have visited <\/font><\/font><a class=\"adsimple-111956903\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/?tid=111956903\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">www.instagram.com<\/font><\/font><\/a><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"> &nbsp;, Instagram has at least set a cookie. If this is the case, your browser sends information to Instagram via the cookie as soon as you interact with an Instagram function. This data is deleted or anonymized after 90 days at the latest (after comparison). Although we have studied Instagram&#8217;s data processing in detail, we cannot say exactly what data Instagram collects and stores.<\/font><\/font><\/p><p><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Below, we show you the cookies that are set in your browser at a minimum when you click on an Instagram feature (such as a button or an Instagram image). For our test, we assume that you don&#8217;t have an Instagram account. If you are logged in to Instagram, significantly more cookies will naturally be set in your browser.<\/font><\/font><\/p><p><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">These cookies were used in our test:<\/font><\/font><\/p><p><strong class=\"adsimple-111956903\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Name:&nbsp;<\/font><\/font><\/strong><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"> csrftoken <\/font><\/font><br><strong class=\"adsimple-111956903\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Value:&nbsp;<\/font><\/font><\/strong><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"> &#8220;&#8221; <\/font><\/font><br><strong class=\"adsimple-111956903\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Purpose:&nbsp;<\/font><\/font><\/strong><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"> This cookie is most likely set for security reasons to prevent request forgery.

These include, for example, embedded tweets, timelines, buttons, and hashtags. Twitter is a short message service and social media platform provided by Twitter Inc., One Cumberland Place, Fenian Street, Dublin 2 D02 AX07, Ireland.<\/font><\/font><\/p><p><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">To our knowledge, in the European Economic Area and Switzerland, simply integrating Twitter functionality does not result in any personal data or data relating to your web activity being transferred to Twitter. Only when you interact with Twitter functions, such as clicking a button, can data be sent to Twitter, stored and processed there. We have no influence on this data processing and bear no responsibility for it. This privacy policy provides you with an overview of the data Twitter stores, what Twitter does with this data, and how you can protect yourself from data transfer.<\/font><\/font><\/p><p><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">For some, Twitter is a news service, for others a social media platform, and still others call it a microblogging service. All of these terms are valid and mean more or less the same thing.<\/font><\/font><\/p><p><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Both private individuals and companies use Twitter to communicate with interested parties via short messages. Twitter allows only 280 characters per message. These messages are called &#8220;tweets.&#8221; Unlike Facebook, for example, the service doesn&#8217;t focus on building a network of &#8220;friends&#8221; but rather aims to be seen as a global and open messaging platform. On Twitter, you can also have an anonymous account, and tweets can be deleted by the company or by the users themselves.<\/font><\/font><\/p><h3 class=\"adsimple-111956903\" data-fontsize=\"21\" data-lineheight=\"31px\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Why do we use Twitter on our website?<\/font><\/font><\/h3><p><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Like many other websites and companies, we try to offer our services and communicate with our customers through various channels. We&#8217;ve grown particularly fond of Twitter as a useful &#8220;little&#8221; news service. We frequently tweet or retweet exciting, funny, or interesting content. We realize that you can&#8217;t follow every channel separately. After all, you have other things to do. That&#8217;s why we&#8217;ve integrated Twitter functions into our website. You can experience our Twitter activity &#8220;in person&#8221; or access our Twitter page via a direct link. Through this integration, we want to strengthen our service and make our website more user-friendly.<\/font><\/font><\/p><h3 class=\"adsimple-111956903\" data-fontsize=\"21\" data-lineheight=\"31px\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">What data does Twitter store?<\/font><\/font><\/h3><p><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">On some of our subpages you will find built-in Twitter functions. If you interact with the Twitter content, for example, clicking on a button, Twitter can collect and store data. This happens even if you do not have a Twitter account. Twitter calls this data &#8220;log data&#8221;. This includes demographic data, browser cookie IDs, your smartphone ID, hashed email addresses, and information about which pages you have visited on Twitter and which actions you have performed. Twitter naturally stores more data if you have a Twitter account and are logged in. This storage usually happens via cookies. Cookies are small text files that are usually placed in your browser and transmit various information to Twitter.<\/font><\/font><\/p><p><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">We&#8217;ll now show you which cookies are set when you&#8217;re not logged in to Twitter but visit a website with built-in Twitter features.

Through these clauses, Twitter undertakes to comply with European data protection standards when processing your relevant data, even if the data is stored, processed, and managed in the USA.

With these types of &#8220;social plug-ins,&#8221; we expand our service on our website. Furthermore, the data collected by Xing helps us carry out targeted advertising on the platform.

According to Xing, the Share button does not store any data that could be directly linked to a person. In particular, Xing does not store your IP address. Furthermore, no cookies are set in connection with the Share button. Therefore, no analysis of your user behavior takes place.

Furthermore, our online marketing measures aim to draw people&#8217;s attention to our website. In order to present our offerings to as many interested people as possible, we engage in online marketing. This usually involves online advertising, content marketing, or search engine optimization. To ensure that we can use online marketing efficiently and effectively, personal data is also stored and processed. This data helps us, on the one hand, to show our content only to those who are actually interested in it, and on the other hand, it allows us to measure the advertising success of our online marketing measures.<\/font><\/font><\/p><h3 class=\"adsimple-111956903\" data-fontsize=\"21\" data-lineheight=\"31px\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Why do we use online marketing tools?<\/font><\/font><\/h3><p><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">We want to show our website to everyone who is interested in what we offer. We realize that this isn&#8217;t possible without consciously implemented measures. That&#8217;s why we use online marketing. There are various tools that make our online marketing efforts easier and also provide us with continuous suggestions for improvement based on data. This allows us to target our campaigns more precisely to our target audience. The ultimate purpose of these online marketing tools is to optimize our offering.<\/font><\/font><\/p><h3 class=\"adsimple-111956903\" data-fontsize=\"21\" data-lineheight=\"31px\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">What data is processed?<\/font><\/font><\/h3><p><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">To ensure that our online marketing works and the success of our measures can be measured, user profiles are created and data is stored, for example, in cookies (small text files). With the help of this data, we can not only place advertisements in the traditional sense, but also present our content directly on our website in a way that you prefer. There are various third-party tools that offer these functions and therefore also collect and store data from you. The named cookies store, for example, which web pages you have visited on our website, how long you viewed these pages, which links or buttons you clicked or which website you came to us from. In addition, technical information can also be stored. For example, your IP address, which browser you use, which device you use to visit our website or the time when you accessed our website and when you left it again. If you have consented to us determining your location, we can also store and process this information.<\/font><\/font><\/p><p><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Your IP address is stored in pseudonymized form (i.e., shortened). Unique data that directly identifies you as a person, such as your name, address, or email address, is also stored only in pseudonymized form for advertising and online marketing purposes. This means we cannot identify you as a person; we only store the pseudonymized information in the user profiles.<\/font><\/font><\/p><p><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">The cookies may also be deployed, analyzed, and used for advertising purposes on other websites that use the same advertising tools. The data may then also be stored on the servers of the advertising tool providers.<\/font><\/font><\/p><p><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">In exceptional cases, unique data (name, email address, etc.) may also be stored in user profiles. This storage occurs, for example, if you are a member of a social media channel that we use for our online marketing activities and the network links previously received data to the user profile.<\/font><\/font><\/p><p><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">With all the advertising tools we use that store your data on their servers, we only receive aggregated information and never data that identifies you as an individual. The data merely shows how well our advertising measures worked. For example, we can see which actions prompted you or other users to visit our website and purchase a service or product there. Based on these analyses, we can improve our advertising offerings in the future and tailor them even more precisely to the needs and wishes of interested parties.<\/font><\/font><\/p><h3 class=\"adsimple-111956903\" data-fontsize=\"21\" data-lineheight=\"31px\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Duration of data processing<\/font><\/font><\/h3><p><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">We will inform you below about the duration of data processing, if we have further information. Generally, we only process personal data for as long as it is absolutely necessary to provide our services and products. Data stored in cookies is stored for different lengths of time. Some cookies are deleted as soon as you leave the website, while others can remain stored in your browser for several years. The respective privacy policies of the individual providers usually provide detailed information about the individual cookies used by the provider.<\/font><\/font><\/p><h3 class=\"adsimple-111956903\" data-fontsize=\"21\" data-lineheight=\"31px\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Right of objection<\/font><\/font><\/h3><p><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">You also have the right and option to revoke your consent to the use of cookies or third-party providers at any time. This can be done either via our cookie management tool or via other opt-out functions. For example, you can also prevent data collection through cookies by managing, deactivating, or deleting cookies in your browser. The legality of the processing up to the point of revocation remains unaffected.<\/font><\/font><\/p><p><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Since online marketing tools typically use cookies, we also recommend reading our general privacy policy on cookies.

We want to make more people aware of the high quality of our offerings on the internet. As part of our advertising measures through Google Ads, we use conversion tracking from Google Inc. on our website. In Europe, however, the company responsible for all Google services is Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland). With the help of this free tracking tool, we can better tailor our advertising to your interests and needs. In the following article, we want to go into more detail about why we use conversion tracking, what data is stored, and how you can prevent this data from being stored.<\/font><\/font><\/p><p><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Google Ads (formerly Google AdWords) is Google Inc.&#8217;s proprietary online advertising system. We are confident in the quality of our offering and want as many people as possible to get to know our website. Google Ads offers the best online platform for this. Of course, we also want to gain a precise overview of the cost-benefit ratio of our advertising campaigns. That&#8217;s why we use the Google Ads conversion tracking tool.<\/font><\/font><\/p><p><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">But what exactly is a conversion? A conversion occurs when you go from being a purely interested website visitor to a user who actually acts. This always happens when you click on our ad and then perform another action, such as visiting our website. Using Google&#8217;s conversion tracking tool, we record what happens after a user clicks on our Google Ads ad. For example, we can see whether products are purchased, services are used, or whether users have signed up for our newsletter.<\/font><\/font><\/p><h3 class=\"adsimple-111956903\" data-fontsize=\"21\" data-lineheight=\"31px\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Why do we use Google Ads conversion tracking on our website?<\/font><\/font><\/h3><p><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">We use Google Ads to draw attention to our offerings on other websites. The goal is to ensure that our advertising campaigns only reach those people who are interested in our offerings. With the conversion tracking tool, we see which keywords, ads, ad groups, and campaigns lead to the desired customer actions. We see how many customers interact with our ads on a device and then convert. This data allows us to calculate our cost-benefit factor, measure the success of individual advertising measures, and consequently optimize our online marketing efforts. Furthermore, we can use the data we collect to make our website more interesting for you and tailor our advertising even more closely to your individual needs.<\/font><\/font><\/p><h3 class=\"adsimple-111956903\" data-fontsize=\"21\" data-lineheight=\"31px\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">What data is stored in Google Ads Conversion Tracking?<\/font><\/font><\/h3><p><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">We have integrated a conversion tracking tag or code snippet on our website to better analyze certain user actions.

As long as you are browsing our website and the cookie has not yet expired, we and Google recognize that you found us via our Google Ads ad. The cookie is read and sent back to Google Ads along with the conversion data. It is also possible that other cookies are used to measure conversions. Google Ads conversion tracking can be further refined and improved with the help of Google Analytics. For ads that Google displays in various places on the web, cookies called &#8220;__gads&#8221; or &#8220;_gac&#8221; may be set under our domain. Since September 2017, various campaign information has been stored by analytics.js using the _gac cookie. The cookie saves this data as soon as you visit one of our pages for which automatic tagging by Google Ads has been set up. Unlike cookies that are set for Google domains, Google can only read these conversion cookies when you are on our website. We do not collect or receive any personal data. We receive a report from Google with statistical evaluations. For example, we learn the total number of users who clicked on our ad and see which advertising measures were well received.<\/font><\/font><\/p><h3 class=\"adsimple-111956903\" data-fontsize=\"21\" data-lineheight=\"31px\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">How long and where is the data stored?<\/font><\/font><\/h3><p><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">At this point, we would like to point out that we have no influence on how Google uses the collected data. According to Google, the data is encrypted and stored on secure servers. In most cases, conversion cookies expire after 30 days and do not transmit any personal data. The cookies named &#8220;Conversion&#8221; and &#8220;_gac&#8221; (which is used in conjunction with Google Analytics) have an expiration date of 3 months.<\/font><\/font><\/p><h3 class=\"adsimple-111956903\" data-fontsize=\"21\" data-lineheight=\"31px\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">How can I delete my data or prevent data storage?<\/font><\/font><\/h3><p><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">You have the option of not participating in Google Ads conversion tracking.

This is an advertising program from Google Inc. In Europe, Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland) is responsible for all Google services. With Google AdSense, we can display advertisements on this website that are relevant to our topic. This way, we offer you ads that ideally represent real added value for you. In this privacy statement about Google AdSense, we explain why we use Google AdSense on our website, which of your data is processed and stored, and how you can prevent this data storage.<\/font><\/font><\/p><p><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">The Google AdSense advertising program has been around since 2003. Unlike Google Ads (formerly Google AdWords), you cannot place your own advertising here. Google AdSense displays advertisements on websites, such as ours. The biggest advantage of this advertising service compared to some others is that Google AdSense only shows you ads that match our content. Google has its own algorithm that calculates which ads you see. Naturally, we only want to show you advertising that interests you and offers added value. Google checks which advertisements are suitable for our website and our users based on your interests and user behavior, as well as our offerings. We would also like to point out at this point that we are not responsible for the selection of advertisements. We merely provide the advertising space on our website. Google selects the advertisements displayed. Since August 2013, the ads have also been adapted to the respective user interface. This means that whether you visit our website from your smartphone, PC or laptop, the ads adapt to your device.<\/font><\/font><\/p><h3 class=\"adsimple-111956903\" data-fontsize=\"21\" data-lineheight=\"31px\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Why do we use Google AdSense on our website?<\/font><\/font><\/h3><p><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Operating a high-quality website requires a lot of dedication and effort. We&#8217;re never finished working on our website. We always strive to maintain our site and keep it as up-to-date as possible. Of course, we also want this work to be financially successful. That&#8217;s why we&#8217;ve chosen advertisements as a source of income. The most important thing for us, however, is that these ads don&#8217;t disrupt your visit to our website. With the help of Google AdSense, you&#8217;ll only be shown advertisements that match our topics and your interests.<\/font><\/font><\/p><p><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Similar to Google&#8217;s indexing of a website, a bot examines the relevant content and offers on the page. The ads are then tailored and presented accordingly. In addition to the content overlap between the ad and the website&#8217;s offerings, AdSense also supports interest-based targeting. This means that Google also uses your data to offer ads tailored to you. This way, you receive advertising that ideally offers you real added value, and we have a greater chance of earning a little extra money.<\/font><\/font><\/p><h3 class=\"adsimple-111956903\" data-fontsize=\"21\" data-lineheight=\"31px\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">What data does Google AdSense store?<\/font><\/font><\/h3><p><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Google AdSense uses cookies, among other things, to display customized ads tailored to you. Cookies are small text files that store certain information on your computer.<\/font><\/font><\/p><p><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">In AdSense, cookies are intended to enable better advertising. The cookies do not contain any personally identifiable data. However, it should be noted that Google considers data such as &#8220;pseudonymous cookie IDs&#8221; (a name or other identifier is replaced by a pseudonym) or IP addresses to be non-personally identifiable information. However, under the GDPR, this data may be considered personal data. Google AdSense sends a cookie to the browser after every impression (this is always the case when you see an ad), every click, and every other activity that leads to a call to the Google AdSense servers. If the browser accepts the cookie, it is stored there.<\/font><\/font><\/p><p><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">As part of AdSense, third parties may place and read cookies on your browser or use web beacons to store data they receive from the delivery of ads on the website. Web beacons are small graphics that perform log file analysis and record the log file. This analysis enables statistical evaluation for online marketing purposes.<\/font><\/font><\/p><p><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Google may use these cookies to collect certain information about your user behavior on our website. This includes:<\/font><\/font><\/p><ul class=\"adsimple-111956903\"><li class=\"adsimple-111956903\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Information on how you interact with an ad (clicks, impressions, mouse movements)<\/font><\/font><\/li><li class=\"adsimple-111956903\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Information about whether an ad has previously appeared in your browser. This data helps prevent an ad from appearing more often.<\/font><\/font><\/li><\/ul><p><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Google analyzes and evaluates the data relating to the displayed advertisements and your IP address. Google primarily uses this data to measure the effectiveness of an ad and to improve its advertising offerings. This data is not linked to any personal information that Google may have about you through other Google services.<\/font><\/font><\/p><p><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Below, we present cookies that Google AdSense uses for tracking purposes.

With the help of Microsoft Advertising, we want to make as many people aware of the high quality of our products and\/or services as possible. For this purpose, we use a technology (conversion tracking tool) from Microsoft on our website, which also stores your data. In this privacy policy, we provide more information about this service, show you which data is stored, managed, and processed, and how you can prevent this data storage.<\/font><\/font><\/p><p><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">You may be more familiar with Microsoft Advertising by its former name &#8220;Bing Ads.&#8221; This is a Microsoft advertising program based on a pay-per-click system. This means advertisers can place ads on the Bing and Yahoo! search engines and only pay when a user clicks on the ad.<\/font><\/font><\/p><h3 class=\"adsimple-111956903\" data-fontsize=\"21\" data-lineheight=\"31px\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Why do we use Microsoft Advertising?<\/font><\/font><\/h3><p><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">We are confident in our offerings and naturally want to present them to a broad audience. With Microsoft Advertising, we can bring our products or services closer to precisely those people who are genuinely interested in them. We want to present our products not only on the famous search engine Google, but also on Bing and Yahoo! With Microsoft Advertising, we also have the option of placing ads in the so-called &#8220;Microsoft Audience Network.&#8221; This means we can also place ads on LinkedIn, for example. Conversion tracking tells us, for example, which ad you used to find us, which subpages you particularly like, and which actions you perform on our website. This data allows us to tailor our website, our advertisements, and our offerings much better to your needs.<\/font><\/font><\/p><h3 class=\"adsimple-111956903\" data-fontsize=\"21\" data-lineheight=\"31px\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">What data does Microsoft Advertising store?<\/font><\/font><\/h3><p><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><font style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">We have integrated a conversion tracking tag (a small code snippet) from Microsoft Advertising into our website. This is the so-called Universal Event Tracking (UET) tag. If you access our website via a Microsoft ad, this tracking tool allows us to learn more about your user behavior on our website. For example, we learn which keyword or ad you used to find us, what you click on our website, how many people visit our website via Microsoft Ads, and how long you stay on our website. All of this data relates to user behavior and not to personal data. We therefore only receive data or analyses about your web behavior, but no personal information. Microsoft uses the data to optimize its own advertising and other services. If you have a Microsoft account, the collected data can be linked to your account.
