We use the web analysis service Google Analytics of Google LLC on our website. (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; "Google"). As far as you have your habitual residence in the European Economic Area or Switzerland, Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland) is the person responsible for your data. Google Ireland Limited is therefore the company affiliated with Google which is responsible for processing your data and for ensuring compliance with the applicable data protection laws.
The data processing serves the purpose of analysing this website and its visitors as well as for marketing and advertising purposes. To this end, Google will use the information obtained on behalf of the operator of this website to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activities and to provide further services to the website operator in connection with website and internet use. The following information, among others, may be collected: IP address, date and time of page view, click path, information about the browser and device you are using, pages visited, referrer URL (website from which you accessed our website), location data, purchase activities. The IP address transmitted by your browser within the scope of Google Analytics is not merged with other data from Google.
Google Analytics uses technologies such as cookies, web memory in the browser and counting pixels, which enable an analysis of your use of the website. The information thus generated about your use of this website is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. The EU Commission has not issued an appropriateness decision for the USA. The data transfer is carried out, among other things, on the basis of standard contractual clauses as suitable guarantees for the protection of personal data, which can be viewed at: https://policies.google.com/privacy/frameworks. Both Google and US state authorities have access to your data. Google may combine your information with other information, such as your search history, personal accounts, usage data from other devices, and any other information Google has about you.
IP anonymization is activated on this website. As a result, your IP address will be shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or in other states that are party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area before.

Among other things, the following information can be collected: IP address, click path, information about the browser and operating system you use, pages visited, time spent on our website, content viewed, location data. This data can be used to create user profiles under a pseudonym. The web tracking tool Mouseflow records randomly selected individual visits (only with anonymized IP address). This creates a log of mouse movements and clicks with the intention of randomly replaying individual website visits and deriving potential improvements for the website from this. The data collected with mouseflow technologies will not be used to personally identify the visitor of this website and will not be merged with personal data about the bearer of the pseudonym without the separately given consent of the person concerned.

Facebook Ireland and we are jointly responsible for the collection of your information and the transfer of that information to Facebook when the service is incorporated. The basis for this is an agreement between us and Facebook Ireland on the joint processing of personal data, in which the respective responsibilities are defined. The agreement is available at https://www.facebook.com/legal/controller_addendum. According to this agreement, we are responsible in particular for the fulfilment of the information obligations in accordance with Art. 13, 14 DSGVO, for compliance with the security requirements of Art. 32 DSGVO with regard to the correct technical implementation and configuration of the service, and for compliance with the obligations in accordance with Art. 33, 34 DSGVO, insofar as a violation of the protection of personal data affects our obligations under the agreement on joint processing.

Plug-ins and others

Use of social plug-ins by means of the "2-click solution"
We use social networking plug-ins on our website using the "2-click solution". This means that no connections are made to the social network servers without your express consent and consequently no data is transmitted.
With the standard integration of plug-ins, when you access the pages of our website that contain such a plug-in, a link is established between your computer and the servers of the social network providers and the plug-in is displayed on the page by means of a message to your browser. In doing so, both your IP address and the information about which of our pages you have visited are transmitted to the provider's servers. This applies regardless of whether you are registered or logged on to the social network. Even if you are not registered or not logged in, a transmission will take place. If you are also logged in to the social network Facebook, this information is assigned to your personal user account. When using the plug-in functions (e.g. by clicking the button), this information is also assigned to your user account, which you can only prevent by logging out before using the plug-in. In order for you to keep control over your data, we have decided to deactivate the corresponding button first. You can recognize this by the grayed out button. Without your explicit consent - in the form of activating the button - no link to the social network server will be established and consequently no data will be transmitted.
Only when you activate the button will the button become active (highlighted) and a direct connection to the social network server will be established.
By activating the button, you give your consent to the transfer of your data to the respective social network provider. In doing so, both your IP address and the information about which of our pages you have visited will be transmitted. If you are connected to one or more of your social network accounts at the same time, the collected information is also assigned to your corresponding profiles. You can only prevent this assignment by logging out of your social network accounts before visiting our website and before activating the buttons from your user accounts.
The social networks named below are integrated using the "2-click function". You will find more detailed information on the scope and purpose of the collection and use of the data as well as on your rights in this regard and possibilities for protecting your privacy in the linked data protection notices of the providers.
