Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transmitted to a Google server in the United States and truncated there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity, and to provide other services related to website and internet usage to the website operator. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics is not combined with other data held by Google.<\/p>\n

Data Processing on Behalf of a Client<\/strong>
\nWe have entered into a data processing agreement with Google and fully comply with the strict requirements of the German data protection authorities when using Google Analytics.<\/p>\n

Demographic Features in Google Analytics<\/strong>
\nThis website uses the \u201cdemographic features\u201d function of Google Analytics. This allows us to generate reports that provide insights into the age, gender, and interests of site visitors. This data is derived from Google\u2019s interest-based advertising as well as from visitor data provided by third parties. This data cannot be associated with any specific individual. You can disable this feature at any time via the ad settings in your Google Account or generally prevent Google Analytics from collecting your data as described in the section \u201cObjecting to Data Collection.\u201d<\/p>\n

Google AdSense<\/strong>
\nThis website uses Google AdSense, a service provided by Google Inc. (\u201cGoogle\u201d) for displaying advertisements. The provider is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.
\nGoogle AdSense uses so-called \u201ccookies,\u201d which are text files stored on your computer that enable an analysis of how the website is used. Google AdSense also uses so-called web beacons (invisible images). These web beacons allow information such as visitor traffic on these pages to be analyzed.
\nThe information generated by cookies and web beacons regarding the use of this website (including your IP address) and the delivery of ad formats is transmitted to a Google server in the United States and stored there. This information may be shared by Google with its contractual partners. However, Google will not associate your IP address with any other data it holds about you.
\nThe storage of AdSense cookies is based on Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in analyzing user behavior in order to optimize both its website and its advertising.
\nSie k\u00f6nnen die Installation der Cookies durch eine entsprechende Einstellung Ihrer Browser Software verhindern; wir weisen Sie jedoch darauf hin, dass Sie in diesem Fall gegebenenfalls nicht s\u00e4mtliche Funktionen dieser Website voll umf\u00e4nglich nutzen k\u00f6nnen. Durch die Nutzung dieser Website erkl\u00e4ren Sie sich mit der Bearbeitung der \u00fcber Sie erhobenen Daten durch Google in der zuvor beschriebenen Art und Weise und zu dem zuvor benannten Zweck einverstanden.<\/p>\n

Google Analytics Remarketing<\/strong>
\nOur websites use the features of Google Analytics Remarketing in conjunction with the cross-device features of Google AdWords and Google DoubleClick. The provider is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.
\nThis feature allows the advertising audiences created with Google Analytics Remarketing to be linked to the cross-device features of Google AdWords and Google DoubleClick. In this way, interest-based, personalized ads \u2013 tailored to you based on your previous usage and browsing behavior on one device (e.g., a cell phone) \u2013 can also be displayed on another of your devices (e.g., a tablet or PC).
\nIf you have given your consent, Google will link your web and app browsing history to your Google Account for this purpose. This allows the same personalized ads to be displayed on any device on which you sign in with your Google Account.
\nTo support this feature, Google Analytics collects Google-authenticated user IDs, which are temporarily linked to our Google Analytics data to define and create audiences for cross-device advertising.
\nYou can permanently opt out of cross-device remarketing\/targeting by disabling personalized ads in your Google Account; to do so, follow this link: https:\/\/www.google.com\/settings\/ads\/onweb\/<\/a>.
\nThe aggregation of the collected data in your Google Account is based solely on your consent, which you can provide or revoke with Google (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). For data collection processes that are not consolidated in your Google Account (e.g., because you do not have a Google Account or have objected to the consolidation), the collection of data is based on Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. The legitimate interest arises from the fact that the website operator has an interest in the anonymized analysis of website visitors for advertising purposes.
\nFurther information and the privacy policy can be found in Google\u2019s Privacy Policy at: https:\/\/www.google.com\/policies\/technologies\/ads\/<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Google AdWords and Google Conversion Tracking<\/strong>
\nThis website uses Google AdWords. AdWords is an online advertising program provided by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, United States (\u201cGoogle\u201d).
\nAs part of Google AdWords, we use what is known as conversion tracking. When you click on an ad placed by Google, a cookie is set for conversion tracking. Cookies are small text files that the web browser stores on the user\u2019s computer. These cookies expire after 30 days and are not used to personally identify users. If the user visits certain pages on 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 that page.
\nEach Google AdWords customer receives a different cookie. These cookies cannot be tracked across AdWords customers\u2019 websites. The information collected using the conversion cookie is used to generate conversion statistics for AdWords customers who have opted in to conversion tracking. Customers are informed of 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 that can be used to personally identify users. If you do not wish to participate in tracking, you can opt out by easily disabling the Google conversion tracking cookie in your web browser\u2019s user settings. You will then not be included in the conversion tracking statistics.
\n\u201cConversion cookies\u201d are stored in accordance with Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in analyzing user behavior in order to optimize both its website and its advertising.
\nFor more information about Google AdWords and Google Conversion Tracking, please see Google\u2019s Privacy Policy: https:\/\/www.google.de\/policies\/privacy\/<\/a>.
\nYou can configure your browser to notify you when cookies are set and to allow cookies only on a case-by-case basis, to block the acceptance of cookies in specific cases or generally, and to enable the automatic deletion of cookies when you close your browser. If you disable cookies, the functionality of this website may be limited.<\/p>\n

Google reCAPTCHA<\/strong>
\nWe use \u201cGoogle reCAPTCHA\u201d (hereinafter \u201creCAPTCHA\u201d) on our websites. The provider is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (\u201cGoogle\u201d).
\nreCAPTCHA is used to verify whether data entry on our websites (e.g., in a contact form) is performed by a human or by an automated program. To do this, reCAPTCHA analyzes the website visitor\u2019s behavior based on various characteristics. This analysis begins automatically as soon as the website visitor accesses the website. For the analysis, reCAPTCHA evaluates various pieces of information (e.g., IP address, the length of time the visitor spends on the website, or the user\u2019s mouse movements). The data collected during the analysis is forwarded to Google.
\nThe reCAPTCHA analyses run entirely in the background. Website visitors are not notified that an analysis is taking place.
\nData processing is based on Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in protecting its web offerings from abusive automated scanning and spam.
\nFor more information about Google reCAPTCHA and Google\u2019s Privacy Policy, please visit the following links:
\nhttps:\/\/www.google.com\/intl\/de\/policies\/privacy\/<\/a> and https:\/\/www.google.com\/recaptcha\/intro\/android.html<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Facebook Pixel<\/strong>
\nOur website uses the Facebook Visitor Action Pixel from Facebook, Inc., 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA (\u201cFacebook\u201d) to measure conversions.
\nThis allows us to track the behavior of website visitors after they have been redirected to our website by clicking on a Facebook ad. This enables us to evaluate the effectiveness of Facebook ads for statistical and market research purposes and to optimize future advertising campaigns.
\nThe data collected is anonymous to us as the operator of this website; we cannot draw any conclusions about the identity of users. However, the data is stored and processed by Facebook, allowing a link to the respective user profile and enabling Facebook to use the data for its own advertising purposes in accordance with Facebook\u2019s Data Use Policy. This enables Facebook to display ads on Facebook pages as well as outside of Facebook. As the site operator, we have no control over this use of the data.
\nYou can find further information on the protection of your privacy in Facebook\u2019s Privacy Policy: https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/about\/privacy\/<\/a>.
\nYou can also disable the \u201cCustom Audiences\u201d remarketing feature in the Ad Settings section at https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/ads\/preferences\/?entry_product=ad_settings_screen<\/a>. To do this, you must be logged in to Facebook.
\nIf you do not have a Facebook account, you can disable interest-based advertising from Facebook on the European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance website: http:\/\/www.youronlinechoices.com\/de\/praferenzmanagement\/<\/a>.<\/p>\n

5. Newsletter<\/h4>\n

Newsletter Information<\/strong>
\nIf you would like to subscribe to the newsletter offered on the website, we need your email address as well as information that allows us to verify that you are the owner of the provided email address and that you consent to receiving the newsletter. No other data is collected, or is collected only on a voluntary basis. We use this data exclusively to send the requested information and do not share it with third parties.
\nThe processing of the data entered in the newsletter sign-up form is based solely on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). You may revoke your consent to the storage of your data and email address, as well as their use for sending the newsletter, at any time \u2013 for example, by clicking the \u201cUnsubscribe\u201d link in the newsletter. The lawfulness of any data processing that has already taken place remains unaffected by this revocation.
\nThe data you have provided to us for the purpose of subscribing to the newsletter will be stored by us until you unsubscribe from the newsletter and will be deleted after you unsubscribe. Data stored by us for other purposes (e.g., email addresses for the members\u2019 area) remains unaffected by this.<\/p>\n

MailChimp<\/strong>
\nThis website uses MailChimp to send newsletters. The provider is Rocket Science Group LLC, 675 Ponce De Leon Ave NE, Suite 5000, Atlanta, GA 30308, USA.
\nMailChimp is a service that can be used, among other things, to organize and analyze the distribution of newsletters. If you enter data for the purpose of subscribing to a newsletter (e.g., your email address), this data is stored on MailChimp\u2019s servers in the United States.
\nMailChimp is certified under the \u201cEU-U.S. Privacy Shield.\u201d The \u201cPrivacy Shield\u201d is an agreement between the European Union (EU) and the U.S. designed to ensure compliance with European data protection standards in the U.S.
\nWe use MailChimp to analyze our newsletter campaigns. When you open an email sent via MailChimp, a file contained in the email (known as a \u201cweb beacon\u201d) connects to MailChimp\u2019s servers in the United States. This allows us to determine whether a newsletter message has been opened and, if applicable, which links were clicked. In addition, technical information is collected (e.g., time of access, IP address, browser type, and operating system). This information cannot be linked to individual newsletter recipients. It is used exclusively for the statistical analysis of newsletter campaigns. The results of these analyses may be used to better tailor future newsletters to the interests of the recipients.
\nIf you do not want MailChimp to analyze your data, you must unsubscribe from the newsletter. We provide a link for this purpose in every newsletter message. You can also unsubscribe from the newsletter directly on the website.
\nData processing is based on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). You may revoke this consent at any time by unsubscribing from the newsletter. The lawfulness of any data processing that has already taken place remains unaffected by the revocation. The data you have provided to us for the purpose of subscribing to the newsletter will be stored by us until you unsubscribe from the newsletter and will be deleted from both our servers and MailChimp\u2019s servers after you unsubscribe. Data stored by us for other purposes (e.g., email addresses for the members\u2019 area) remains unaffected by this.
\nFor more details, please refer to MailChimp\u2019s privacy policy at: https:\/\/mailchimp.com\/legal\/terms\/<\/a>.
\nConclusion of a Data Processing Agreement
\nWe have entered into a \u201cData Processing Agreement\u201d with MailChimp, in which we require MailChimp to protect our customers\u2019 data and not to disclose it to third parties. This agreement can be viewed at the following link: https:\/\/mailchimp.com\/legal\/forms\/data-processing-agreement\/sample-agreement\/<\/a>.<\/p>\n

6. Plugins and Tools<\/h4>\n
