    Our social media sites are part of our public relations work. Our aim is to inform appropriate target groups and exchange information with them.

  1. YouTube plug-in
    After you click on one of the preview images from the YouTube website operated by Google, this website uses plug-ins to embed video content. The operator of the site is YouTube, LLC, 901 Cherry Ave., San Bruno, CA 94066, USA.

    If you open a sub-site with an embedded video, a connection is made to the YouTube servers. At this point YouTube is notified which of our pages you have visited. We use YouTube’s extended data protection to embed YouTube videos. When this option is used, none of our visitors’ data are saved unless they actually view the video (the video can be started by clicking on it).

    If you start an embedded video on our website, Google will process and save various data (IP address, our website’s sub-site on which the video is embedded, etc.). If you are logged into your YouTube account, YouTube may assign your surfing habits direct to your personal profile. You can only prevent this if you log out of your YouTube account before viewing the video. The provider of this website has no influence on the transfer of these data.

    YouTube videos are embedded with the purpose of making our website more attractive. This is also our legitimate interest in accordance with the legal basis set out in Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR.

    We use “Google reCAPTCHA” on this website (hereinafter known as “reCAPTCHA”). This service is provided by Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

    reCAPTCHA is used to check whether data entered on this website (for example in a contact form) are being entered by a human or an automated program. For this purpose, reCAPTCHA analyses the behaviour of the website visitor using various features. This analysis starts automatically as soon as the website visitor opens the website. reCAPTCHA evaluate various information for its analysis (for example IP address, device and application data, time spent by the visitor on the website and mouse movements by the user).

  1. Google conversion tracking

    a. Type and scope of data processing
    Furthermore, we use so-called conversion tracking as part of our use of the Google AdWords service. If you click on an advertisement inserted by Google, a cookie for conversion tracking is placed on your computer/device. These cookies lose their validity after 30 days, do not contain any personal data and can therefore not be used for personal identification purposes. The information obtained using the conversion cookie is used to prepare conversion statistics for AdWords customers who have chosen to use conversion tracking. Users’ data are processed in pseudonym form as part of the Google Marketing Service. This means that Google, for example, does not save all process users’ name or email address, but instead processes the pseudonym user profiles relevant to the appropriate data cookie. In other words, from Google’s point of view, the advertisements are not managed and displayed for a specifically identified person, but for the cookie owner, regardless of who this cookie owner is. This does not apply if a user has expressly permitted Google to process these data without this pseudonymisation. The information about users collected by Google Marketing Service are transferred to Google and saved on Google’s servers in the USA.

    The Google Marketing Services used by us include the online advertising program “Google AdWords”. We particularly use the remarketing function within the Google AdWords service. In the case of Google AdWords, each AdWords customer receives a different “conversion cookie”. This means that cookies cannot be traced using AdWords customers’ websites. The information obtained using the cookie is used to prepare conversion statistics for AdWords customers who have chosen to use conversion tracking. AdWords customers are supplied with the total number of users who have clicked on the advertisement and who have continued to a page with a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not contain any information that allows users to be personally identified.

    We use Google’s Remarketingtechnology. This technology sends users targeted advertising on Google Partner Network’s websites, if they have already visited our webpages and online services and have shown an interest in these. The advertising is displayed by the use of cookies. The use of these text files enables the behaviour of users to be analysed when they visit the websites and then used for targeted product recommendations and interest-based advertising. No personal data from the visitors to the websites are saved.

    Further information about using data for advertising purposes by Google is provided on the summary site: https://www.google.com/policies/technologies/ads, Google’s privacy policy can be viewed at https://www.google.com/policies/privacy.

    More information about Google and the Google (Ads) can be viewed at http://www.google.com/privacy/ads/.

    Google is certified under the Privacy Shield Convention, thus guaranteeing compliance with European data protection law: https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt000000001L5AAI&status=Active

  2. Legal basis for data processing
    The data are processed on the basis of Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR. Our legitimate interest is in enhancing our website.
  3. Right to object and deletion option
    You can permanently disable the use of cookies by Google by using the following link and then downloading and installing the plug-in provided there: https://www.google.com/settings/ads/plugin.You can also disable the appropriate cookies by opening the NAI (Network Advertising Initiative) disabling page at http://www.networkadvertising.org/choices/.

To prevent automatic data transfers to the service providers of social media, these services are included on our website by means of Internet links. We have no joint data protection responsibility if your data are processed by these service providers for purposes defined by them.

    Our social media sites are part of our public relations work. Our aim is to inform appropriate target groups and exchange information with them.

  1. YouTube plug-in
    After you click on one of the preview images from the YouTube website operated by Google, this website uses plug-ins to embed video content. The operator of the site is YouTube, LLC, 901 Cherry Ave., San Bruno, CA 94066, USA.

    If you open a sub-site with an embedded video, a connection is made to the YouTube servers. At this point YouTube is notified which of our pages you have visited. We use YouTube’s extended data protection to embed YouTube videos. When this option is used, none of our visitors’ data are saved unless they actually view the video (the video can be started by clicking on it).

    If you start an embedded video on our website, Google will process and save various data (IP address, our website’s sub-site on which the video is embedded, etc.). If you are logged into your YouTube account, YouTube may assign your surfing habits direct to your personal profile. You can only prevent this if you log out of your YouTube account before viewing the video. The provider of this website has no influence on the transfer of these data.

    YouTube videos are embedded with the purpose of making our website more attractive. This is also our legitimate interest in accordance with the legal basis set out in Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR.

    Further information about how user data are handled is available in YouTube’s privacy policy: https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy.

  1. Google conversion tracking

    a. Type and scope of data processing
    Furthermore, we use so-called conversion tracking as part of our use of the Google AdWords service. If you click on an advertisement inserted by Google, a cookie for conversion tracking is placed on your computer/device. These cookies lose their validity after 30 days, do not contain any personal data and can therefore not be used for personal identification purposes. The information obtained using the conversion cookie is used to prepare conversion statistics for AdWords customers who have chosen to use conversion tracking. Users’ data are processed in pseudonym form as part of the Google Marketing Service. This means that Google, for example, does not save all process users’ name or email address, but instead processes the pseudonym user profiles relevant to the appropriate data cookie. In other words, from Google’s point of view, the advertisements are not managed and displayed for a specifically identified person, but for the cookie owner, regardless of who this cookie owner is. This does not apply if a user has expressly permitted Google to process these data without this pseudonymisation. The information about users collected by Google Marketing Service are transferred to Google and saved on Google’s servers in the USA.

    The Google Marketing Services used by us include the online advertising program “Google AdWords”. We particularly use the remarketing function within the Google AdWords service. In the case of Google AdWords, each AdWords customer receives a different “conversion cookie”. This means that cookies cannot be traced using AdWords customers’ websites. The information obtained using the cookie is used to prepare conversion statistics for AdWords customers who have chosen to use conversion tracking. AdWords customers are supplied with the total number of users who have clicked on the advertisement and who have continued to a page with a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not contain any information that allows users to be personally identified.

    We use Google’s Remarketingtechnology. This technology sends users targeted advertising on Google Partner Network’s websites, if they have already visited our webpages and online services and have shown an interest in these. The advertising is displayed by the use of cookies. The use of these text files enables the behaviour of users to be analysed when they visit the websites and then used for targeted product recommendations and interest-based advertising. No personal data from the visitors to the websites are saved.

    Further information about using data for advertising purposes by Google is provided on the summary site: https://www.google.com/policies/technologies/ads, Google’s privacy policy can be viewed at https://www.google.com/policies/privacy.

    More information about Google and the Google (Ads) can be viewed at http://www.google.com/privacy/ads/.
