We are delighted by your interest in our company. Data protection is of particularly high importance to the management of Klosterpforte GmbH. In principle, the web pages of Klosterpforte GmbH can be used without providing any personal data. However, if a data subject wishes to use special services provided by our company via our website, the processing of personal data could become necessary. If the processing of personal data is necessary and there is no statutory basis for such processing, we generally obtain the consent of the data subject. <\/p>\n
The processing of personal data, such as the name, address, email address or telephone number of a data subject, shall always be in line with the General Data Protection Regulation and in accordance with the country-specific data protection regulations applicable to Klosterpforte GmbH. By means of this privacy policy, our company would like to inform the general public of the nature, scope and purpose of the personal data we collect, use and process. Furthermore, data subjects are informed of the rights to which they are entitled by means of this privacy policy. <\/p>\n
As the data controller, Klosterpforte GmbH has implemented numerous technical and organisational measures to ensure the most complete protection possible for personal data processed through this website. Nevertheless, internet-based data transmissions can, in principle, have security gaps, so absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, every data subject is free to transfer personal data to us via alternative means, for example by telephone. <\/p>\n
1. Definitions<\/b><\/p>\n
The privacy policy of Klosterpforte GmbH is based on the terminology used by the European legislator for the adoption of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

f) Pseudonymisation<\/b><\/p>\n
\u2018Pseudonymisation\u2019 means the processing of personal data in such a manner that the personal data can no longer be attributed to a specific data subject without the use of additional information, provided that such additional information is kept separately and is subject to technical and organisational measures to ensure that the personal data are not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.<\/p>\n

2. Name and address of the data controller<\/b><\/p>\n
The data controller for the purposes of the General Data Protection Regulation, other data protection laws applicable in the Member States of the European Union and other provisions related to data protection is:<\/b><\/p>\n
Klosterpforte GmbH The website of Klosterpforte GmbH uses cookies. Cookies are text files that are placed and stored on a computer system via an internet browser. <\/p>\n Numerous websites and servers use cookies. Many cookies contain a so-called cookie ID. A cookie ID is a unique identifier of the cookie. It consists of a character string through which websites and servers can be assigned to the specific internet browser in which the cookie was stored. This allows the visited websites and servers to distinguish the individual browser of the data subject from other internet browsers that contain other cookies. A specific internet browser can be recognised and identified via the unique cookie ID. <\/p>\n Through the use of cookies, Klosterpforte GmbH can provide the users of this website with more user-friendly services that would not be possible without setting cookies.<\/p>\n By means of a cookie, the information and offers on our website can be optimised in the interest of the user. Cookies enable us, as previously mentioned, to recognise the users of our website. The purpose of this recognition is to make it easier for users to utilise our website. For example, the user of a website that uses cookies does not have to re-enter their login details every time they visit the website, as this is handled by the website and the cookie stored on the user’s computer system. Another example is the cookie of a shopping cart in an online shop. The online shop remembers the items that a customer has placed in the virtual shopping cart via a cookie. <\/p>\n The data subject may, at any time, prevent the setting of cookies through our website by means of a corresponding setting of the internet browser used, and may thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Furthermore, cookies that have already been set can be deleted at any time via an internet browser or other software programmes. This is possible in all common internet browsers. If the data subject deactivates the setting of cookies in the internet browser used, not all functions of our website may be fully usable. <\/p>\n 4. Collection of general data and information<\/b><\/p>\n The website of Klosterpforte GmbH collects a series of general data and information with every visit to the website by a data subject or an automated system. This general data and information is stored in the server log files. The following may be collected: (1) browser types and versions used, (2) the operating system used by the accessing system, (3) the website from which an accessing system reaches our website (so-called referrers), (4) the sub-websites directed via an accessing system on our website, (5) the date and time of an access to the website, (6) an Internet Protocol address (IP address), (7) the internet service provider of the accessing system, and (8) any other similar data and information that serves to avert danger in the event of attacks on our information technology systems. <\/p>\n When using this general data and information, Klosterpforte GmbH does not draw any conclusions about the data subject. Rather, this information is required to (1) deliver the content of our website correctly, (2) optimise the content of our website and the advertisements for it, (3) ensure the long-term functionality of our information technology systems and our website’s technology, and (4) provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for prosecution in the event of a cyberattack. Therefore, this anonymously collected data and information is evaluated by Klosterpforte GmbH both statistically and with the aim of increasing data protection and data security within our company, in order to ultimately ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data we process. The anonymous data of the server log files are stored separately from all personal data provided by a data subject. <\/p>\n 5. Registration on our website<\/b><\/p>\n The data subject has the opportunity to register on the website of the data controller by providing personal data. Which personal data are transmitted to the data controller is determined by the respective input mask used for registration. The personal data entered by the data subject are collected and stored exclusively for internal use by the data controller and for its own purposes. The data controller may arrange for the transfer of data to one or more processors, for example a parcel delivery service, who will also use the personal data exclusively for an internal use attributable to the data controller. <\/p>\n Furthermore, by registering on the website of the data controller, the IP address assigned by the internet service provider (ISP) of the data subject, as well as the date and time of registration, are stored. This data is stored against the background that this is the only way to prevent the misuse of our services and, if necessary, to enable the investigation of offences committed. In this respect, the storage of this data is necessary to safeguard the data controller. In principle, this data is not passed on to third parties unless there is a statutory obligation to do so or the transfer serves the purpose of law enforcement. <\/p>\n The registration of the data subject, with the voluntary provision of personal data, is intended to enable the data controller to offer the data subject content or services which, due to the nature of the matter, can only be offered to registered users. Registered persons are free to modify the personal data specified during registration at any time, or to have it completely deleted from the database of the data controller. <\/p>\n The data controller shall, at any time and upon request, provide every data subject with information as to which personal data are stored about them. Furthermore, the data controller shall correct or delete personal data at the request or notification of the data subject, provided that this is not prevented by any statutory retention obligations. All employees of the data controller are available to the data subject as contact persons in this regard. <\/p>\n 6. Subscription to our newsletter<\/b><\/p>\n On the website of Klosterpforte GmbH, users are given the opportunity to subscribe to our company’s newsletter. Which personal data are transmitted to the data controller when ordering the newsletter is determined by the input mask used for this purpose. <\/p>\n Klosterpforte GmbH informs its customers and business partners at regular intervals by means of a newsletter about the company’s offers. In principle, our company’s newsletter can only be received by the data subject if (1) the data subject has a valid email address and (2) the data subject registers for the newsletter mailing. For legal reasons, a confirmation email is sent via the double opt-in procedure to the email address entered by a data subject for the first time for the newsletter mailing. This confirmation email serves to verify whether the owner of the email address, as the data subject, has authorised the receipt of the newsletter. <\/p>\n When registering for the newsletter, we also store the IP address assigned by the internet service provider (ISP) of the computer system used by the data subject at the time of registration, as well as the date and time of registration. The collection of this data is necessary to understand any (possible) misuse of a data subject’s email address at a later date, and therefore serves the legal protection of the data controller. <\/p>\n The personal data collected as part of a registration for the newsletter shall be used exclusively for sending our newsletter. Furthermore, subscribers to the newsletter may be informed by email, provided that this is necessary for the operation of the newsletter service or a related registration, as could be the case in the event of modifications to the newsletter offer or changes to the technical circumstances. There is no transfer of personal data collected within the framework of the newsletter service to third parties. The subscription to our newsletter may be cancelled by the data subject at any time. The consent to the storage of personal data, which the data subject has given us for the newsletter mailing, may be withdrawn at any time. For the purpose of withdrawing consent, a corresponding link can be found in each newsletter. Furthermore, it is also possible to unsubscribe from the newsletter mailing directly on the website of the data controller at any time, or to communicate this to the data controller in another way. <\/p>\n 7. Newsletter tracking<\/b><\/p>\n The newsletters of Klosterpforte GmbH contain so-called tracking pixels. A tracking pixel is a miniature graphic embedded into emails that are sent in HTML format to enable log file recording and log file analysis. This allows a statistical evaluation of the success or failure of online marketing campaigns to be carried out. Based on the embedded tracking pixel, Klosterpforte GmbH can recognise whether and when an email was opened by a data subject and which links within the email were accessed by the data subject. <\/p>\n Such personal data collected via the tracking pixels contained in the newsletters are stored and evaluated by the data controller in order to optimise the newsletter mailing and to adapt the content of future newsletters even better to the interests of the data subject. This personal data will not be passed on to third parties. Data subjects are entitled at any time to withdraw the respective separate declaration of consent given via the double opt-in procedure. After a withdrawal, this personal data will be deleted by the data controller. Klosterpforte GmbH automatically interprets an unsubscription from the newsletter as a withdrawal. <\/p>\n 8. Possibility of contact via the website<\/b><\/p>\n “Due to statutory regulations, the website of Klosterpforte GmbH contains information that enables quick electronic contact with our company as well as direct communication with us, which also includes a general address for so-called electronic mail (email address). If a data subject contacts the data controller by email or via a contact form, the personal data transmitted by the data subject are automatically stored. Such personal data transmitted on a voluntary basis by a data subject to the data controller are stored for the purposes of processing or contacting the data subject. There is no transfer of this personal data to third parties. <\/p>\n 9. Routine erasure and blocking of personal data<\/b><\/p>\n The data controller shall process and store the personal data of the data subject only for the period necessary to achieve the purpose of storage, or as far as this is granted by the European legislator or another legislator in laws or regulations to which the data controller is subject.<\/p>\n If the storage purpose ceases to apply or if a storage period prescribed by the European legislator or another competent legislator expires, the personal data are routinely blocked or erased in accordance with the statutory regulations.<\/p>\n 10. Rights of the data subject<\/b><\/p>\n a) Right of confirmation<\/b><\/p>\n Every data subject shall have the right granted by the European legislator to obtain from the data controller confirmation as to whether or not personal data concerning him or her are being processed. If a data subject wishes to avail himself or herself of this right of confirmation, he or she may, at any time, contact any employee of the data controller. <\/p>\n b) Right of access<\/b><\/p>\n Every data subject shall have the right granted by the European legislator to obtain from the data controller at any time free information about his or her personal data stored and a copy of this information. Furthermore, the European legislator has granted the data subject access to the following information: <\/p>\n – the purposes of the processing<\/p>\n – the categories of personal data concerned<\/p>\n – the recipients or categories of recipients to whom the personal data have been or will be disclosed, in particular recipients in third countries or international organisations<\/p>\n – where possible, the envisaged period for which the personal data will be stored, or, if not possible, the criteria used to determine that period<\/p>\n – the existence of the right to request from the controller rectification or erasure of personal data or restriction of processing of personal data concerning the data subject or to object to such processing<\/p>\n – the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority<\/p>\n – where the personal data are not collected from the data subject, any available information as to their source<\/p>\n – the existence of automated decision-making, including profiling, referred to in Article 22(1) and (4) of the GDPR and, at least in those cases, meaningful information about the logic involved, as well as the significance and the envisaged consequences of such processing for the data subject<\/p>\n Furthermore, the data subject shall have a right to be informed as to whether personal data have been transferred to a third country or to an international organisation. Where this is the case, the data subject shall also have the right to be informed of the appropriate safeguards relating to the transfer. <\/p>\n If a data subject wishes to avail himself or herself of this right of access, he or she may, at any time, contact any employee of the data controller.<\/p>\n c) Right to rectification<\/b><\/p>\n Every data subject shall have the right granted by the European legislator to obtain from the data controller without undue delay the rectification of inaccurate personal data concerning him or her. Taking into account the purposes of the processing, the data subject shall have the right to have incomplete personal data completed, including by means of a providing a supplementary statement. <\/p>\n If a data subject wishes to avail himself or herself of this right to rectification, he or she may, at any time, contact any employee of the data controller.<\/p>\n d) Right to erasure (Right to be forgotten)<\/b><\/p>\n Every data subject shall have the right granted by the European legislator to obtain from the controller the erasure of personal data concerning him or her without undue delay, and the controller shall have the obligation to erase personal data without undue delay where one of the following grounds applies and as long as the processing is not necessary:<\/p>\n – The personal data are no longer necessary in relation to the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed.<\/p>\n – The data subject withdraws consent on which the processing was based according to point (a) of Article 6(1), or point (a) of Article 9(2) of the GDPR, and where there is no other legal ground for the processing. <\/p>\n – The data subject objects to the processing pursuant to Article 21(1) of the GDPR, and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing, or the data subject objects to the processing pursuant to Article 21(2) of the GDPR. <\/p>\n – The personal data have been unlawfully processed.<\/p>\n – The personal data have to be erased for compliance with a legal obligation in Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject.<\/p>\n – The personal data have been collected in relation to the offer of information society services referred to in Article 8(1) of the GDPR. <\/p>\n If one of the aforementioned reasons applies and a data subject wishes to arrange for the erasure of personal data stored by Klosterpforte GmbH, he or she may, at any time, contact any employee of the data controller. The employee of Klosterpforte GmbH shall ensure that the erasure request is complied with without undue delay. <\/p>\n Where Klosterpforte GmbH has made the personal data public and is obliged pursuant to Article 17(1) of the GDPR to erase the personal data, Klosterpforte GmbH, taking into account available technology and the cost of implementation, shall take reasonable steps, including technical measures, to inform controllers which are processing the personal data that the data subject has requested erasure by such controllers of any links to, or copy or replication of, those personal data, as far as processing is not required. The employee of Klosterpforte GmbH will arrange for the necessary measures in individual cases. <\/p>\n e) Right to restriction of processing<\/b><\/p>\n Every data subject shall have the right granted by the European legislator to obtain from the controller restriction of processing where one of the following applies. This definition aligns directly with the official UK GDPR, Article 18(1), ensuring precise terminology regarding the restriction of data processing.<\/p>\n – The accuracy of the personal data is contested by the data subject, for a period enabling the controller to verify the accuracy of the personal data.<\/p>\n – The processing is unlawful and the data subject opposes the erasure of the personal data and requests the restriction of their use instead.<\/p>\n – The controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of the processing, but they are required by the data subject for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.<\/p>\n – The data subject has objected to processing pursuant to Article 21(1) of the GDPR pending the verification whether the legitimate grounds of the controller override those of the data subject. <\/p>\n If one of the aforementioned conditions is met and a data subject wishes to request the restriction of personal data stored by Klosterpforte GmbH, he or she may, at any time, contact any employee of the data controller. The employee of Klosterpforte GmbH shall arrange for the restriction of processing. <\/p>\n f) Right to data portability<\/b><\/p>\n Every data subject shall have the right granted by the European legislator to receive the personal data concerning him or her, which he or she has provided to a controller, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. He or she shall also have the right to transmit those data to another controller without hindrance from the controller to which the personal data have been provided, where the processing is based on consent pursuant to point (a) of Article 6(1) or point (a) of Article 9(2) of the GDPR, or on a contract pursuant to point (b) of Article 6(1) of the GDPR, and the processing is carried out by automated means, provided that the processing is not necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller. <\/p>\n Furthermore, in exercising his or her right to data portability pursuant to Article 20(1) of the GDPR, the data subject shall have the right to have the personal data transmitted directly from one controller to another, where technically feasible and provided that this does not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others. <\/p>\n To assert the right to data portability, the data subject may, at any time, contact any employee of Klosterpforte GmbH.<\/p>\n g) Right to object<\/b><\/p>\n Every data subject shall have the right granted by the European legislator to object, on grounds relating to his or her particular situation, at any time to processing of personal data concerning him or her which is based on point (e) or (f) of Article 6(1) of the GDPR, including profiling based on those provisions. <\/p>\n Klosterpforte GmbH shall no longer process the personal data in the event of an objection, unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override the interests, rights and freedoms of the data subject, or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.<\/p>\n Where personal data are processed by Klosterpforte GmbH for direct marketing purposes, the data subject shall have the right to object at any time to processing of personal data concerning him or her for such marketing, which includes profiling to the extent that it is related to such direct marketing. Where the data subject objects to processing by Klosterpforte GmbH for direct marketing purposes, Klosterpforte GmbH shall no longer process the personal data for such purposes. <\/p>\n In addition, the data subject, on grounds relating to his or her particular situation, shall have the right to object to processing of personal data concerning him or her by Klosterpforte GmbH for scientific or historical research purposes or statistical purposes pursuant to Article 89(1) of the GDPR, unless the processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out for reasons of public interest. <\/p>\n To exercise the right to object, the data subject may contact any employee of Klosterpforte GmbH directly. In the context of the use of information society services, and notwithstanding Directive 2002\/58\/EC, the data subject may exercise his or her right to object by automated means using technical specifications. <\/p>\n h) Automated individual decision-making, including profiling<\/b><\/p>\n Every data subject shall have the right granted by the European legislator not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects concerning him or her or similarly significantly affects him or her, unless the decision (1) is not necessary for entering into, or performance of, a contract between the data subject and a data controller, or (2) is authorised by Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject and which also lays down suitable measures to safeguard the data subject’s rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, or (3) is based on the data subject’s explicit consent.<\/p>\n Where the decision (1) is necessary for entering into, or performance of, a contract between the data subject and a data controller, or (2) is based on the data subject’s explicit consent, Klosterpforte GmbH shall implement suitable measures to safeguard the data subject’s rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, at least the right to obtain human intervention on the part of the controller, to express his or her point of view and to contest the decision.<\/p>\n If the data subject wishes to assert rights concerning automated individual decision-making, he or she may, at any time, contact any employee of the data controller.<\/p>\n i) Right to withdraw data protection consent<\/b><\/p>\n Every data subject shall have the right granted by the European legislator to withdraw his or her consent to the processing of personal data at any time.<\/p>\n If the data subject wishes to assert his or her right to withdraw consent, he or she may, at any time, contact any employee of the data controller.<\/p>\n 11. Data protection for applications and in the application procedure<\/b><\/p>\n The data controller collects and processes the personal data of applicants for the purpose of processing the application procedure. The processing may also be carried out electronically. This is particularly the case if an applicant submits corresponding application documents to the data controller by electronic means, for example by email or via a web form located on the website. If the data controller concludes an employment contract with an applicant, the transmitted data will be stored for the purpose of processing the employment relationship in compliance with statutory regulations. If no employment contract is concluded with the applicant by the data controller, the application documents shall be automatically erased two months after notification of the refusal decision, provided that no other legitimate interests of the data controller oppose the erasure. Other legitimate interest in this sense is, for example, a burden of proof in proceedings under the General Act on Equal Treatment (AGG). <\/p>\n 12. Data protection provisions on the application and use of AddThis<\/b><\/p>\n The data controller has integrated components of the company AddThis on this website. AddThis is a so-called bookmarking provider. The service enables simplified bookmarking of websites via buttons. By hovering over the AddThis component with the mouse or by clicking on it, a list of bookmarking and sharing services is displayed. AddThis is used on over 15 million websites, and according to the operating company, the buttons are displayed over 20 billion times annually. <\/p>\n The operating company of AddThis is AddThis, Inc., 1595 Spring Hill Road, Suite 300, Vienna, VA 22182, USA. <\/p>\n With each visit to one of the individual pages of this website, which is operated by the data controller and on which an AddThis component has been integrated, the internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject is automatically prompted by the respective AddThis component to download data from the website www.addthis.com. Within the framework of this technical procedure, AddThis gains knowledge of the visit and which specific individual page of this website is used by the information technology system used by the data subject. Furthermore, AddThis gains knowledge of the IP address assigned by the internet service provider (ISP) of the computer system used by the data subject, the browser type, the browser language, the website accessed before our website, as well as the date and time of the visit to our website. AddThis uses this data to create anonymised user profiles. The data and information transmitted to AddThis in this way enable the company AddThis itself, as well as companies affiliated with AddThis or its partner companies, to target visitors to the data controller’s websites with personalised and interest-based advertising. <\/p>\n AddThis displays personalised and interest-based advertising based on a cookie set by the company. This cookie analyses the individual surfing behaviour of the computer system used by the data subject. The cookie stores the visits to websites originating from the computer system. <\/p>\n The data subject may, as already described above, prevent the setting of cookies through our website at any time by means of a corresponding setting of the internet browser used, and may thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Such a setting of the internet browser used would also prevent AddThis from setting a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. Furthermore, cookies that have already been set by AddThis can be deleted at any time via an internet browser or other software programmes. <\/p>\n The data subject also has the opportunity to permanently object to the processing of personal data by AddThis. For this purpose, the data subject must press the opt-out button under the link http:\/\/www.addthis.com\/privacy\/opt-out<\/a>, which sets an opt-out cookie. The opt-out cookie set with the objection is placed on the information technology system used by the data subject. If the cookies on the data subject’s system are deleted after an objection, the data subject must access the link again and set a new opt-out cookie. <\/p>\n However, if the opt-out cookie is set, there is a possibility that the website of the controller may no longer be fully usable for the data subject.<\/p>\n The applicable data protection provisions of AddThis can be accessed at http:\/\/www.addthis.com\/privacy\/privacy-policy<\/a>.<\/p>\n 13. Data protection provisions on the application and use of etracker<\/b><\/p>\n The data controller has integrated components of the company etracker on this website. etracker is a web analysis service. Web analysis is the collection, gathering and evaluation of data regarding the behaviour of visitors to websites. A web analysis service collects, among other things, data on the website from which a data subject reached a website (so-called referrers), which sub-pages of the website were accessed or how often and for what duration of stay a sub-page was viewed. Web analysis is predominantly used for the optimisation of a website and for the cost-benefit analysis of internet advertising. <\/p>\n The operating company of etracker is etracker GmbH, Erste Brunnenstra\u00dfe 1, 20459 Hamburg, Germany.<\/p>\n etracker sets a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. What cookies are has already been explained above. With each visit to one of the individual pages of this website, which is operated by the data controller and on which an etracker component has been integrated, the internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject is automatically prompted by the respective etracker component to transmit data to etracker for marketing and optimisation purposes. Within the framework of this technical procedure, etracker gains knowledge of data that are subsequently used to create pseudonymous user profiles. The user profiles obtained in this way serve to analyse the behaviour of the data subject who has accessed the website of the data controller and are evaluated with the aim of improving and optimising the website. The data collected via the etracker component will not be used to identify the data subject without first obtaining a separate and explicit consent of the data subject. This data will not be merged with personal data or with other data containing the same pseudonym. <\/p>\n The data subject may, as already described above, prevent the setting of cookies through our website at any time by means of a corresponding setting of the internet browser used, and may thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Such a setting of the internet browser used would also prevent etracker from setting a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. Furthermore, cookies that have already been set by etracker can be deleted at any time via the internet browser or other software programmes. <\/p>\n Furthermore, the data subject has the opportunity to object to and prevent the collection of data generated by the etracker cookie and related to the use of this website, as well as the processing of this data by etracker. For this purpose, the data subject must press the cookie-setting button under the link http:\/\/www.etracker.de\/privacy?et=V23Jbb<\/a>, which sets an opt-out cookie. The opt-out cookie set with the objection is placed on the information technology system used by the data subject. If the cookies on the data subject’s system are deleted after an objection, the data subject must access the link again and set a new opt-out cookie. <\/p>\n However, if the opt-out cookie is set, there is a possibility that the website of the controller may no longer be fully usable for the data subject.<\/p>\n The applicable data protection provisions of etracker can be accessed under https:\/\/www.etracker.com\/de\/datenschutz.html.<\/p>\n 14. Data protection provisions on the application and use of Facebook<\/b><\/p>\n The data controller has integrated components of the company Facebook on this website. Facebook is a social network. <\/p>\n A social network is a social meeting place operated on the internet, an online community that generally enables users to communicate with each other and interact in a virtual space. A social network can serve as a platform for exchanging opinions and experiences, or it allows the internet community to provide personal or company-related information. Facebook enables users of the social network to create private profiles, upload photos and network via friend requests, among other things. <\/p>\n The operating company of Facebook is Facebook, Inc., 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA. If a data subject lives outside the USA or Canada, the data controller for the processing of personal data is Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland.<\/p>\n With each visit to one of the individual pages of this website, which is operated by the data controller and on which a Facebook component (Facebook plug-in) has been integrated, the internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject is automatically prompted by the respective Facebook component to download a representation of the corresponding Facebook component from Facebook. A complete overview of all Facebook plug-ins can be accessed under https:\/\/developers.facebook.com\/docs\/plugins\/?locale=de_DE<\/a>. Within the framework of this technical procedure, Facebook gains knowledge of which specific sub-page of our website is visited by the data subject. <\/p>\n If the data subject is logged into Facebook at the same time, Facebook recognises with each visit to our website by the data subject and for the entire duration of their stay on our website which specific sub-page of our website the data subject visits. This information is collected by the Facebook component and assigned by Facebook to the respective Facebook account of the data subject. If the data subject presses one of the Facebook buttons integrated on our website, for example the ‘Like’ button, or if the data subject submits a comment, Facebook assigns this information to the personal Facebook user account of the data subject and stores this personal data. <\/p>\n Facebook always receives information via the Facebook component that the data subject has visited our website if the data subject is logged into Facebook at the same time as accessing our website; this takes place regardless of whether the data subject clicks on the Facebook component or not. If such a transmission of this information to Facebook is not wanted by the data subject, they can prevent the transmission by logging out of their Facebook account before visiting our website. <\/p>\n The data policy published by Facebook, which is accessible at https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/about\/privacy\/<\/a>, provides information about the collection, processing and use of personal data by Facebook. Furthermore, it explains what setting options Facebook offers to protect the privacy of the data subject. In addition, various applications are available that make it possible to suppress data transmission to Facebook. Such applications can be used by the data subject to suppress data transmission to Facebook. <\/p>\n 15. Data protection provisions on the application and use of Google Analytics (with anonymisation function)<\/b><\/p>\n The data controller has integrated the component Google Analytics (with anonymisation function) on this website. Google Analytics is a web analysis service. Web analysis is the collection, gathering and evaluation of data regarding the behaviour of visitors to websites. A web analysis service collects, among other things, data on the website from which a data subject reached a website (so-called referrers), which sub-pages of the website were accessed or how often and for what duration of stay a sub-page was viewed. Web analysis is predominantly used for the optimisation of a website and for the cost-benefit analysis of internet advertising. <\/p>\n The operating company of the Google Analytics component is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA.<\/p>\n The data controller uses the extension ‘_gat._anonymizeIp’ for web analysis via Google Analytics. By means of this extension, the IP address of the internet connection of the data subject is shortened and anonymised by Google if the access to our website takes place from a Member State of the European Union or from another Contracting State to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. <\/p>\n The purpose of the Google Analytics component is the analysis of traffic flows on our website. Google uses the data and information obtained, among other things, to evaluate the use of our website in order to compile online reports for us showing the activities on our websites, and to provide further services related to the use of our website. <\/p>\n Google Analytics sets a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. What cookies are has already been explained above. By setting the cookie, Google is enabled to analyse the use of our website. With each visit to one of the individual pages of this website, which is operated by the data controller and on which a Google Analytics component has been integrated, the internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject is automatically prompted by the respective Google Analytics component to transmit data to Google for the purpose of online analysis. Within the framework of this technical procedure, Google gains knowledge of personal data, such as the IP address of the data subject, which serves Google, among other things, to understand the origin of visitors and clicks and subsequently to enable commission settlements. <\/p>\n By means of the cookie, personal information, such as the access time, the location from which an access originated and the frequency of visits to our website by the data subject, are stored. With each visit to our website, this personal data, including the IP address of the internet connection used by the data subject, are transmitted to Google in the United States of America. This personal data is stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may under certain circumstances pass on this personal data collected via the technical procedure to third parties. <\/p>\n As already described above, the data subject can prevent the setting of cookies by our website at any time by means of a corresponding setting in the internet browser used, and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Such a setting in the internet browser used would also prevent Google from setting a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. In addition, a cookie already set by Google Analytics can be deleted at any time via the internet browser or other software programmes. <\/p>\n Furthermore, the data subject has the option of objecting to and preventing the collection of data generated by Google Analytics relating to the use of this website, as well as the processing of this data by Google. To do this, the data subject must download and install a browser add-on from the link https:\/\/tools.google.com\/dlpage\/gaoptout<\/a>. This browser add-on informs Google Analytics via JavaScript that no data and information regarding visits to websites may be transmitted to Google Analytics. The installation of the browser add-on is considered an objection by Google. If the information technology system of the data subject is deleted, formatted or reinstalled at a later date, the data subject must reinstall the browser add-on to deactivate Google Analytics. If the browser add-on is uninstalled or deactivated by the data subject or another person within their sphere of control, it is possible to reinstall or reactivate the browser add-on. <\/p>\n Further information and the applicable data protection provisions of Google can be accessed under https:\/\/www.google.de\/intl\/de\/policies\/privacy<\/a>\/ and under http:\/\/www.google.com\/analytics\/terms\/de.html<\/a>. Google Analytics is explained in more detail under this link https:\/\/www.google.com\/intl\/de_de\/analytics\/<\/a>. <\/p>\n 16. Data protection provisions on the application and use of Google Remarketing<\/b><\/p>\n The data controller has integrated services of Google Remarketing on this website. Google Remarketing is a feature of Google AdWords that allows a company to display advertising to internet users who have previously visited the company’s website. The integration of Google Remarketing therefore allows a company to create user-related advertising and consequently to display interest-relevant advertisements to the internet user. <\/p>\n The operating company of the services of Google Remarketing is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA.<\/p>\n The purpose of Google Remarketing is the display of interest-relevant advertising. Google Remarketing allows us to display advertisements via the Google advertising network or to have them displayed on other websites that are tailored to the individual needs and interests of internet users. <\/p>\n Google Remarketing sets a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. What cookies are has already been explained above. By setting the cookie, Google is enabled to recognise the visitor to our website when they subsequently access websites that are also members of the Google advertising network. With each visit to a website on which the service of Google Remarketing has been integrated, the internet browser of the data subject automatically identifies itself to Google. Within the framework of this technical procedure, Google gains knowledge of personal data, such as the IP address or the surfing behaviour of the user, which Google uses, among other things, to display interest-relevant advertising. <\/p>\n By means of the cookie, personal information, such as the websites visited by the data subject, are stored. With each visit to our website, personal data, including the IP address of the internet connection used by the data subject, are therefore transmitted to Google in the United States of America. This personal data is stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may under certain circumstances pass on this personal data collected via the technical procedure to third parties. <\/p>\n As already described above, the data subject can prevent the setting of cookies by our website at any time by means of a corresponding setting in the internet browser used, and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Such a setting in the internet browser used would also prevent Google from setting a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. In addition, a cookie already set by Google Analytics can be deleted at any time via the internet browser or other software programmes. <\/p>\n By means of the cookie, personal information, such as the websites visited by the data subject, are stored. With each visit to our website, personal data, including the IP address of the internet connection used by the data subject, are therefore transmitted to Google in the United States of America. This personal data is stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may under certain circumstances pass on this personal data collected via the technical procedure to third parties. <\/p>\n The applicable data protection provisions of Google can be accessed under https:\/\/www.google.de\/intl\/de\/policies\/privacy\/<\/a>.<\/p>\n 17. Data protection provisions on the application and use of Google AdWords<\/b><\/p>\n The data controller has integrated Google AdWords on this website. Google AdWords is an internet advertising service that allows advertisers to display advertisements both in Google’s search engine results and in the Google advertising network. Google AdWords enables an advertiser to define specific keywords in advance, by means of which an advertisement is displayed in Google’s search engine results exclusively when the user retrieves a keyword-relevant search result with the search engine. In the Google advertising network, the advertisements are distributed on topic-relevant websites by means of an automatic algorithm and in compliance with the previously defined keywords. <\/p>\n The operating company of the services of Google AdWords is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA.<\/p>\n The purpose of Google AdWords is the promotion of our website by displaying interest-relevant advertising on the websites of third-party companies and in the search engine results of the Google search engine, and the display of third-party advertising on our website.<\/p>\n If a data subject reaches our website via a Google advertisement, a so-called conversion cookie is placed on the information technology system of the data subject by Google. What cookies are has already been explained above. A conversion cookie loses its validity after thirty days and is not used to identify the data subject. Via the conversion cookie, provided that the cookie has not yet expired, it is tracked whether certain sub-pages, for example the shopping cart of an online shop system, were accessed on our website. Through the conversion cookie, both we and Google can track whether a data subject who reached our website via an AdWords advertisement generated sales, i.e. completed or cancelled a purchase of goods. <\/p>\n The data and information collected through the use of the conversion cookie are used by Google to create visit statistics for our website. These visit statistics are used by us, in turn, to determine the total number of users who were referred to us via AdWords advertisements, i.e. to determine the success or failure of the respective AdWords advertisement and to optimise our AdWords advertisements for the future. Neither our company nor other advertising customers of Google AdWords receive information from Google by means of which the data subject could be identified. <\/p>\n By means of the conversion cookie, personal information, such as the websites visited by the data subject, are stored. With each visit to our website, personal data, including the IP address of the internet connection used by the data subject, are therefore transmitted to Google in the United States of America. This personal data is stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may under certain circumstances pass on this personal data collected via the technical procedure to third parties. <\/p>\n As previously stated above, the data subject may, at any time, prevent the setting of cookies through our website by means of a corresponding setting of the internet browser used, and may thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Such a setting of the internet browser used would also prevent Google from setting a conversion cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. Furthermore, cookies already set by Google AdWords may be deleted at any time via an internet browser or other software programmes. <\/p>\n By means of the cookie, personal information, such as the websites visited by the data subject, are stored. With each visit to our website, personal data, including the IP address of the internet connection used by the data subject, are therefore transmitted to Google in the United States of America. This personal data is stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may under certain circumstances pass on this personal data collected via the technical procedure to third parties. <\/p>\n The applicable data protection provisions of Google can be accessed under https:\/\/www.google.de\/intl\/de\/policies\/privacy\/<\/a>.<\/p>\n 18. Privacy policy on the deployment and use of Google Maps<\/b><\/p>\n This website uses the map service Google Maps via an API. The provider is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. When using Google Maps, Google also collects, processes and uses data regarding the use of the Maps features by visitors to the websites. By using this website, you consent to the collection, processing and use of the automatically collected data by Google Inc., its representatives and third parties. The use of Google Maps is carried out in the interest of making our online services appealing and ensuring that the locations specified by us on the website are easy to find. This constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR.<\/p>\n The terms of service for Google Maps can be found at https:\/\/policies.google.com\/privacy?hl=en-GB&gl=gb<\/a>.<\/p>\n 19. Privacy policy on the deployment and use of Instagram<\/b><\/p>\n The data controller has integrated components of the Instagram service on this website. Instagram is a service which qualifies as an audiovisual platform, enabling users to share photos and videos and, furthermore, to distribute such data in other social networks. <\/p>\n The operating company of the Instagram services is Instagram LLC, 1 Hacker Way, Building 14 First Floor, Menlo Park, CA, USA.<\/p>\n With each visit to one of the individual pages of this website, which is operated by the data controller and on which an Instagram component (Insta button) has been integrated, the internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject is automatically prompted by the respective Instagram component to download a display of the corresponding component from Instagram. Within the framework of this technical procedure, Instagram becomes aware of which specific subpage of our website is visited by the data subject. <\/p>\n If the data subject is logged in to Instagram at the same time, Instagram detects which specific subpage the data subject is visiting with each visit to our website by the data subject and for the entire duration of their stay on our website. This information is collected by the Instagram component and assigned by Instagram to the respective Instagram account of the data subject. If the data subject clicks on one of the Instagram buttons integrated on our website, the data and information transferred as a result are assigned to the personal Instagram user account of the data subject and are stored and processed by Instagram. <\/p>\n Through the Instagram component, Instagram always receives information that the data subject has visited our website if the data subject is logged in to Instagram at the same time as they access our website; this occurs regardless of whether or not the data subject clicks on the Instagram component. If the data subject does not want this information to be transmitted to Instagram, they can prevent this transmission by logging out of their Instagram account before accessing our website. <\/p>\n Further information and the applicable privacy policy of Instagram can be accessed at https:\/\/help.instagram.com\/155833707900388<\/a> and https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/about\/legal\/privacy\/<\/a>.<\/p>\n 20. Privacy policy on the deployment and use of Jetpack for WordPress<\/b><\/p>\n The data controller has integrated Jetpack on this website. Jetpack is a WordPress plug-in which provides additional features to the operator of a website built on WordPress. Among other things, Jetpack allows the website operator to obtain an overview of the website’s visitors. Furthermore, it is possible to increase visitor numbers by displaying related posts and publications or by offering the option to share content on the site. Security features are also integrated into Jetpack, ensuring that a website using Jetpack is better protected against brute-force attacks. In addition, Jetpack optimises and accelerates the loading of images integrated on the website. <\/p>\n The operating company of the Jetpack plug-in for WordPress is Automattic Inc., 132 Hawthorne Street, San Francisco, CA 94107, USA. This operating company uses the tracking technology of Quantcast Inc., 201 Third Street, San Francisco, CA 94103, USA.<\/p>\n Jetpack sets a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. What cookies are has already been explained above. With each visit to one of the individual pages of this website, which is operated by the data controller and on which a Jetpack component has been integrated, the internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject is automatically prompted by the respective Jetpack component to transmit data to Automattic for analysis purposes. Within the framework of this technical procedure, Automattic becomes aware of data that is subsequently used to create an overview of website visits. The data obtained in this way serves to analyse the behaviour of the data subject who has accessed the website of the data controller and is evaluated with the aim of optimising the website. The data collected via the Jetpack component is not used to identify the data subject without obtaining the prior, separate and explicit consent of the data subject. Furthermore, Quantcast also becomes aware of this data. Quantcast uses the data for the same purposes as Automattic. <\/p>\n As previously stated above, the data subject may, at any time, prevent the setting of cookies through our website by means of a corresponding setting of the internet browser used, and may thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Such a setting of the internet browser used would also prevent Automattic\/Quantcast from setting a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. Furthermore, cookies already set by Automattic may be deleted at any time via an internet browser or other software programmes. <\/p>\n Furthermore, the data subject has the possibility to object to and prevent the collection of data generated by the Jetpack cookie relating to the use of this website, as well as the processing of this data by Automattic\/Quantcast. For this purpose, the data subject must press the opt-out button under the link https:\/\/www.quantcast.com\/opt-out\/<\/a>, which sets an opt-out cookie. The opt-out cookie set with the objection is stored on the information technology system used by the data subject. If the cookies on the system of the data subject are deleted after an objection, the data subject must access the link again and set a new opt-out cookie. <\/p>\n However, if the opt-out cookie is set, there is a possibility that the website of the controller may no longer be fully usable for the data subject.<\/p>\n The applicable privacy policy of Automattic can be accessed at https:\/\/automattic.com\/privacy\/<\/a>. The applicable privacy policy of Quantcast can be accessed at https:\/\/www.quantcast.com\/privacy\/. <\/p>\n 21. Privacy policy on the deployment and use of Shariff<\/b><\/p>\n The data controller has integrated the Shariff component on this website. The Shariff component provides social media buttons which are compliant with data protection regulations. Shariff was developed for the German computer magazine c’t and is published via GitHub, Inc. <\/p>\n The developer of the component is GitHub, Inc., 88 Colin P. Kelly Junior Street, San Francisco, CA 94107, USA. <\/p>\n Usually, the button solutions provided by social networks already transfer personal data to the respective social network when a user visits a website on which a social media button has been integrated. Through the use of the Shariff component, personal data is only transmitted to social networks when the visitor to a website actively clicks on one of the social media buttons. Further information on the Shariff component is provided by the computer magazine c’t at http:\/\/www.heise.de\/newsticker\/meldung\/Datenschutz-und-Social-Media-Der-c-t-Shariff-ist-im-Einsatz-2470103.html<\/a>. The purpose of using the Shariff component is to protect the personal data of visitors to our website, whilst simultaneously enabling us to integrate a button solution for social networks on this website. <\/p>\n Further information and the applicable privacy policy of GitHub can be accessed at https:\/\/help.github.com\/articles\/github-privacy-policy\/<\/a>.<\/p>\n 22. Privacy policy on the deployment and use of YouTube<\/b><\/p>\n The data controller has integrated components of YouTube on this website. YouTube is an internet video portal which enables video publishers to post video clips free of charge and other users to view, rate and comment on them, also free of charge. YouTube allows the publication of all kinds of videos, which is why complete films and television programmes, as well as music videos, trailers or videos made by users themselves, can be accessed via the internet portal. <\/p>\n The operating company of YouTube is YouTube, LLC, 901 Cherry Ave., San Bruno, CA 94066, USA. YouTube, LLC is a subsidiary of Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA.<\/p>\n With each visit to one of the individual pages of this website, which is operated by the data controller and on which a YouTube component (YouTube video) has been integrated, the internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject is automatically prompted by the respective YouTube component to download a display of the corresponding YouTube component from YouTube. Further information on YouTube can be accessed at https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/yt\/about\/en-GB\/<\/a>. Within the framework of this technical procedure, YouTube and Google become aware of which specific subpage of our website is visited by the data subject. <\/p>\n If the data subject is logged in to YouTube at the same time, YouTube detects which specific subpage of our website the data subject is visiting when they access a subpage that contains a YouTube video. This information is collected by YouTube and Google and assigned to the respective YouTube account of the data subject. <\/p>\n YouTube and Google always receive information through the YouTube component that the data subject has visited our website if the data subject is logged in to YouTube at the same time as they access our website; this occurs regardless of whether or not the data subject clicks on a YouTube video. If the data subject does not want this information to be transmitted to YouTube and Google, they can prevent this transmission by logging out of their YouTube account before accessing our website. <\/p>\n
