General Information on Data Processing

1. Definitions

The privacy policy of Angermann NRW GmbH is based on the terms used by the European legislator when issuing the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Our privacy policy is intended to be easy to read and understandable both for the public and for our customers and business partners. To ensure this, we would like to explain the terms used in advance.

Among others, we use the following terms in this privacy policy →

Personal Data
Personal data means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (hereinafter "data subject"). An identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person.
Data Subject
A data subject is any identified or identifiable natural person whose personal data is processed by the controller responsible for processing.
Processing
Processing means any operation or set of operations performed on personal data or on sets of personal data, whether or not by automated means, such as collection, recording, organization, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure or destruction.
Restriction of Processing
Restriction of processing is the marking of stored personal data with the aim of limiting their processing in the future.
Profiling
Profiling means any form of automated processing of personal data consisting of the use of personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to analyze or predict aspects concerning that natural person's performance at work, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behavior, location or movements.
Pseudonymization
Pseudonymization 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 organizational measures to ensure that the personal data are not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.
Controller or Controller Responsible for Processing
The controller or the controller responsible for processing is the natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which alone or jointly with others determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data. Where the purposes and means of processing are determined by Union or Member State law, the controller or the specific criteria for its nomination may be provided for by Union or Member State law.
Processor
A processor is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which processes personal data on behalf of the controller.
Recipient
A recipient is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or another body, to which the personal data are disclosed, whether a third party or not. However, public authorities which may receive personal data in the framework of a particular inquiry in accordance with Union or Member State law shall not be regarded as recipients.
Third Party
A third party is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or body other than the data subject, controller, processor and persons who, under the direct authority of the controller or processor, are authorized to process personal data.
Consent
Consent of the data subject means any freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous indication of the data subject's wishes by which he or she, by a statement or by a clear affirmative action, signifies agreement to the processing of personal data relating to him or her.

The websites of Angermann NRW GmbH use cookies. Cookies are text files that are stored on a computer system via an internet browser.

Many 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 enables the visited websites and servers to distinguish the individual browser of the data subject from other internet browsers containing other cookies. A particular internet browser can be recognized and identified again via the unique cookie ID.

By using cookies, Angermann NRW GmbH can provide users of this website with more user-friendly services that would not be possible without the cookie setting.

Using a cookie, the information and offers on our website can be optimized in the sense of the user. Cookies enable us, as already mentioned, to recognize the users of our website. The purpose of this recognition is to make it easier for users to use the website. For example, a user of a website that uses cookies does not have to enter his login data every time he visits the website again because this is taken over 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 articles a customer has placed in the virtual shopping cart via a cookie.

The data subject can prevent the setting of cookies by our website at any time by means of a corresponding setting of the internet browser used and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Furthermore, already set cookies can be deleted at any time via an internet browser or other software programs. 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.

Each time the website of Angermann NRW GmbH is accessed by a data subject or an automated system, a range of general data and information is collected. This general data and information is stored in the log files of the server. The following can be collected: (1) browser types and versions used, (2) the operating system of the accessing system, (3) the website from which an accessing system reaches our website (so-called referrer), (4) sub-websites accessed via an accessing system on our website, (5) the date and time of access to the website, (6) an Internet protocol address (IP address), (7) the Internet service provider of the accessing system and (8) other similar data and information that serve to avert dangers in the event of attacks on our information technology systems.

When using this general data and information, Angermann NRW GmbH does not draw any conclusions about the data subject. This information is rather needed to (1) correctly deliver the content of our website, (2) optimize the content of our website and the advertising for it, (3) ensure the permanent functionality of our information technology systems and the technology of our website and (4) provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for criminal prosecution in the event of a cyber-attack. These anonymously collected data and information are evaluated by Angermann NRW GmbH on the one hand statistically and on the other hand with the aim of increasing data protection and data security in 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.

On the website of Angermann NRW GmbH, users are given the opportunity to subscribe to the company's newsletter. Which personal data is transmitted to the controller when ordering the newsletter results from the input mask used for this purpose.

Angermann NRW GmbH regularly informs its customers and business partners by means of a newsletter about offers from the company. The newsletter of our company can basically only be received by the data subject if (1) the data subject has a valid e-mail address and (2) the data subject registers for the newsletter dispatch. For legal reasons, a confirmation e-mail is sent to the e-mail address first entered by a data subject for the newsletter dispatch in the double opt-in procedure. This confirmation e-mail serves to check whether the owner of the e-mail address as the data subject has authorized the receipt of the newsletter.

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 the registration. The collection of this data is necessary in order to be able to trace the (possible) misuse of the e-mail address of a data subject at a later point in time and therefore serves the legal protection of the controller.

The personal data collected as part of a newsletter registration is used exclusively for sending our newsletter. Furthermore, subscribers to the newsletter may be informed by e-mail if this is necessary for the operation of the newsletter service or for registration related thereto, as may be the case for changes to the newsletter offer or changes to the technical conditions. No data collected within the framework of the newsletter service will be passed on to third parties. The subscription to our newsletter can 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 dispatch of the newsletter can be revoked at any time. For the purpose of revoking the consent, there is a corresponding link in every newsletter. Furthermore, it is possible to unsubscribe directly on the website of the controller responsible for processing or to notify the controller in another way.

The newsletters of Angermann NRW GmbH contain so-called counting pixels. A counting pixel is a miniature graphic which is embedded in those e-mails which are sent in HTML format to enable a logfile recording and logfile analysis. This makes it possible to carry out a statistical analysis of the success or failure of online marketing campaigns. Based on the embedded counting pixel, Angermann NRW GmbH can recognize whether and when an e-mail from a data subject was opened and which links contained in the e-mail were called up by the data subject.

Such personal data collected via the counting pixels contained in the newsletters are stored and evaluated by the controller to optimize the newsletter dispatch and to tailor 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 have the right to revoke the separate consent given by the double opt-in procedure at any time. After revocation, this personal data will be deleted by the controller. Unsubscribing from the newsletter is automatically interpreted by Angermann NRW GmbH as a revocation.

The website of Angermann NRW GmbH contains information due to legal provisions that enable quick electronic contact to our company as well as immediate communication with us, which also includes a general address of the so-called electronic mail (e-mail address). If a data subject contacts the controller by e-mail 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 controller are stored for the purpose of processing or contacting the data subject. There is no passing on of this personal data to third parties.

Angermann NRW GmbH offers users the opportunity to leave individual comments on individual blog posts on a blog located on the website of the controller. A blog is a portal usually accessible to the public on a website on which one or more persons, called bloggers or web bloggers, can post articles or thoughts in so-called blog posts. The blog posts can usually be commented on by third parties.

If a data subject leaves a comment in the blog published on this website, besides the comments left by the data subject, information on the time of the comment entry and the username (pseudonym) chosen by the data subject will also be stored and published. Furthermore, the IP address assigned to the data subject by the Internet Service Provider (ISP) is logged. This storage of the IP address is done for security reasons and in case the data subject violates the rights of third parties or posts illegal content through a comment. The storage of this personal data is therefore carried out in the legitimate interest of the controller, so that the controller can be exculpated in the event of a legal violation. There is no passing on of this collected personal data to third parties unless required by law or serves the legal defense of the controller.

The comments made in the blog of Angermann NRW GmbH can generally be subscribed to by third parties. In particular, there is the possibility that a commentator subscribes to the comments following his comment on a specific blog post.

If a data subject decides on the option to subscribe to comments, the controller sends an automatic confirmation e-mail to verify in the double opt-in procedure whether the owner of the given e-mail address has really decided for this option. The option to subscribe to comments can be ended at any time.

The controller processes and stores personal data of the data subject only for the period that is necessary to achieve the storage purpose or if this has been provided for by the European legislator or another legislator in laws or regulations to which the controller is subject.

If the storage purpose ceases to apply or a storage period prescribed by the European legislator or another competent legislator expires, the personal data will be routinely blocked or deleted in accordance with legal requirements.

Right to Confirmation
Every data subject has the right granted by the European legislator to obtain from the controller confirmation as to whether or not personal data concerning him or her are being processed. If a data subject wishes to exercise this right to confirmation, he or she may at any time contact an employee of the controller.

Right to Access
Every data subject has the right granted by the European legislator to obtain from the controller free information about his or her personal data stored at any time and a copy of this information. Furthermore, the European directives and regulations grant the data subject access to the following information:

the processing purposes
the categories of personal data which are processed
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 organizations
if possible, the envisaged period for which the personal data will be stored, or, if not possible, the criteria used to determine that period
the existence of the right to request rectification or erasure of personal data or restriction of processing of personal data concerning the data subject or to object to such processing
the existence of the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority
where the personal data are not collected from the data subject, any available information as to their source
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

Furthermore, the data subject has the right to obtain information as to whether personal data are transferred to a third country or to an international organization. Where this is the case, the data subject also has the right to be informed of the appropriate safeguards relating to the transfer.

If a data subject wishes to assert this right of access, he or she may at any time contact an employee of the controller.

Right to Rectification

Every data subject has the right granted by the European legislator to obtain without undue delay the rectification of inaccurate personal data concerning him or her. Taking into account the purposes of the processing, the data subject has the right to have incomplete personal data completed, including by means of providing a supplementary statement.

If a data subject wishes to exercise this right to rectification, he or she may at any time contact an employee of the controller.

Right to Erasure (Right to be Forgotten)

Every data subject has 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 has the obligation to erase personal data without undue delay where one of the following grounds applies and the processing is not necessary:

The personal data were collected or otherwise processed for the purposes for which they are no longer necessary.
The data subject withdraws consent on which the processing is based according to Art. 6(1)(a) or Art. 9(2)(a) of the GDPR and where there is no other legal ground for the processing.
The data subject objects to the processing pursuant to Art. 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 Art. 21(2) of the GDPR.
The personal data have been unlawfully processed.
The erasure of personal data is necessary to comply with a legal obligation under Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject.
The personal data have been collected in relation to the offer of information society services pursuant to Art. 8(1) of the GDPR.

If one of the above reasons applies and a data subject wishes to request the deletion of personal data stored by Angermann NRW GmbH, he or she may at any time contact an employee of the controller. The employee of Angermann NRW GmbH will arrange for the deletion request to be complied with without undue delay.

If the personal data have been made public by Angermann NRW GmbH and our company is obliged to delete the personal data in accordance with Art. 17(1) GDPR as controller, Angermann NRW GmbH shall take reasonable steps, including technical measures, considering available technology and implementation costs, to inform other controllers processing the published personal data that the data subject has requested deletion of all links to such personal data or copies or replications of such personal data, as far as processing is not required. The employee of Angermann NRW GmbH will take the necessary steps in individual cases.

Right to Restriction of Processing

Every data subject has the right granted by the European legislator to obtain restriction of processing from the controller if one of the following applies:

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.
The processing is unlawful and the data subject opposes the erasure of the personal data and requests restriction of their use instead.
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 defense of legal claims.
The data subject has objected to processing pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR and it is not yet clear whether the legitimate grounds of the controller override those of the data subject.

If one of the above conditions is met and a data subject wishes to request the restriction of personal data stored by Angermann NRW GmbH, he or she may at any time contact an employee of the controller. The employee of Angermann NRW GmbH will arrange the restriction of processing.

Right to Data Portability

Every data subject has 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 also has the right to transmit those data to another controller without hindrance from the controller to which the personal data have been provided, provided that the processing is based on consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) or Art. 9(2)(a) GDPR or on a contract pursuant to Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR and the processing is carried out by automated means, as long as 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.

Furthermore, in exercising his or her right to data portability pursuant to Art. 20(1) GDPR, the data subject has the right to have the personal data transmitted directly from one controller to another, where technically feasible and when doing so does not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others.

To assert the right to data portability, the data subject may at any time contact an employee of Angermann NRW GmbH.

Right to Object

Every data subject has 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 Art. 6(1)(e) or (f) GDPR, including profiling based on those provisions.

Angermann NRW GmbH will no longer process the personal data in the event of the 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 defense of legal claims.

If Angermann NRW GmbH processes personal data for direct marketing purposes, the data subject has the right to object at any time to processing of personal data concerning him or her for such marketing. This also applies to profiling to the extent that it is related to such direct marketing. If the data subject objects to Angermann NRW GmbH to the processing for direct marketing purposes, Angermann NRW GmbH will no longer process the personal data for these purposes.

Furthermore, the data subject has the right to object to processing of personal data concerning him or her by Angermann NRW GmbH for scientific or historical research purposes or statistical purposes pursuant to Art. 89(1) GDPR, unless the processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out for reasons of public interest.

To exercise the right to object, the data subject may directly contact any employee of Angermann NRW GmbH. Furthermore, the data subject is free to use suitable automated procedures, with technical specifications, to exercise the objection right in connection with the use of information society services, notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC.

Automated Individual Decision-Making Including Profiling

Every data subject has 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 necessary for entering into, or performance of, a contract between the data subject and a data controller, or (2) is authorized 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.

If 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, Angermann NRW GmbH implements 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 contest the decision.

If the data subject wishes to assert rights with regard to automated decision-making, he or she may at any time contact an employee of the controller.

Right to Withdraw Data Protection Consent

Every data subject has the right granted by the European legislator to withdraw his or her consent to processing of his or her personal data at any time.

If the data subject wishes to withdraw his or her consent, he or she may at any time contact an employee of the controller.

The controller collects and processes the personal data of applicants for the purpose of handling the application process. Processing may also take place electronically. This is especially the case if an applicant submits corresponding application documents electronically, for example by e-mail or via a web form on the website, to the controller. If the controller concludes an employment contract with an applicant, the transmitted data will be stored for the purpose of handling the employment relationship in compliance with legal requirements. If the controller does not conclude an employment contract with the applicant, the application documents will be automatically deleted two months after the rejection decision is communicated, unless there are legitimate interests of the controller that oppose deletion. Such legitimate interests may be, for example, evidence obligations in proceedings under the General Equal Treatment Act (AGG).

The controller has integrated components from the company Facebook on this website. Facebook is a social network.

A social network is an internet-based social meeting place, an online community that usually enables users to communicate with each other and interact in virtual space. A social network can serve as a platform for exchanging opinions and experiences or enables 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.

The controller has integrated the Google Analytics component (with anonymization function) on this website. Google Analytics is a web analysis service. Web analysis involves the collection, compilation, and evaluation of data about the behavior of visitors to websites. A web analysis service collects data about, among other things, which website a data subject has come from (so-called referrer), which sub-pages of the website were accessed, or how often and for how long a sub-page was viewed. Web analysis is mainly used to optimize a website and for cost-benefit analysis of internet advertising.

The operator of the Google Analytics component is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA.

The controller uses the Google Analytics extension "_gat._anonymizeIp". This extension anonymizes the IP address of the internet connection of the data subject by Google if access to our websites occurs from a member state of the European Union or from another contracting state to the Agreement on the European Economic Area.

The purpose of the Google Analytics component is to analyze the visitor flows on our website. Google uses the collected data and information, among other things, to evaluate the use of our website, to compile online reports for us which show the activities on our websites, and to provide other services related to the use of our website.

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 enables an analysis of the use of our website. With every call of one of the individual pages of this website, which is operated by the 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 instructed by the respective Google Analytics component to transmit data for online analysis to Google. In the context of this technical procedure, Google receives knowledge of personal data such as the IP address of the data subject, which Google uses, among other things, to trace the origin of visitors and clicks and thus enable commission settlements.

Using the cookie, personal information such as access time, the place from which an access originated, and the frequency of visits to our website by the data subject are stored. With every visit to our websites, these 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. These personal data are stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may disclose these personal data collected via this technical procedure to third parties.

The data subject can prevent the setting of cookies via our website as explained above at any time by adjusting the settings of the internet browser used and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Such a setting of the internet browser would also prevent Google from setting a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. Furthermore, a cookie already set by Google Analytics can be deleted at any time via an internet browser or other software programs.

Furthermore, the data subject has the possibility to object to the collection of data generated by Google Analytics relating to the use of this website and the processing of this data by Google and thus prevent this. To do this, the data subject must download and install a browser add-on under the link tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. This browser add-on communicates to Google Analytics via JavaScript that no data and information about 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 later deleted, formatted, or reinstalled, 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 who is attributable to their sphere of control, it is possible to reinstall or reactivate the browser add-on.

Further information and the applicable data protection provisions of Google can be found at www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/ and at www.google.com/analytics/terms/de.html. Google Analytics is explained in more detail at the link www.google.com/intl/de_de/analytics/.

The controller has integrated Google Remarketing services on this website. Google Remarketing is a feature of Google AdWords that allows a company to show ads to internet users who have previously visited the company's website. The integration of Google Remarketing therefore allows a company to create user-related advertisements and show interest-related ads to the internet user.

The operator of the Google Remarketing services is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA.

The purpose of Google Remarketing is the display of interest-related advertisements. Google Remarketing enables us to display advertisements over the Google advertising network or on other websites that are tailored to the individual needs and interests of internet users.

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 enables recognition of the visitor to our website when the visitor subsequently accesses websites that are also members of the Google advertising network. With each call of a website on which the Google Remarketing service has been integrated, the internet browser of the data subject is automatically identified with Google. In the context of this technical procedure, Google obtains knowledge of personal data, such as the IP address or surfing behavior of the user, which Google uses, among other things, to display interest-related advertising.

Using the cookie, personal information such as the websites visited by the data subject are stored. With each visit to our websites, 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. These personal data are stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may disclose these personal data collected via this technical procedure to third parties.

Furthermore, the data subject has the possibility to object to interest-related advertising by Google. To do so, the data subject must access the link www.google.de/settings/ads from each browser used and make the desired settings there.

Further information and the applicable data protection provisions of Google can be found at www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/.

The controller has integrated the Google+ button on this website. Google+ is a so-called social network. A social network is an internet-based social meeting place, an online community that usually enables users to communicate with each other and interact in virtual space. A social network can serve as a platform for exchanging opinions and experiences or enables the internet community to provide personal or company-related information. Google+ enables users of the social network to create private profiles, upload photos, and network via friend requests.

The operator of Google+ is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA.

With each call of one of the individual pages of this website, which is operated by the controller and on which a Google+ button has been integrated, the internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject is automatically instructed by the respective Google+ button to download a representation of the corresponding Google+ button from Google. In the context of this technical procedure, Google obtains knowledge of which specific subpage of our website is visited by the data subject. More information on Google+ can be found at developers.google.com/+/.

If the data subject is logged in to Google+ at the same time, Google recognizes which specific subpage of our website the data subject visits with each call to our website and during the entire duration of the respective stay on our website. This information is collected by the Google+ button and assigned by Google to the respective Google+ account of the data subject.

If the data subject clicks on one of the integrated Google+ buttons on our website and thus submits a Google +1 recommendation, Google assigns this information to the personal Google+ user account of the data subject and stores this personal data. Google stores the Google +1 recommendation of the data subject and makes it publicly accessible in accordance with the conditions accepted by the data subject in this respect. A Google +1 recommendation made by the data subject on this website will then be stored and processed together with other personal data, such as the name of the Google +1 account used by the data subject and the photo stored therein, in other Google services, such as the search engine results of the Google search engine, the Google account of the data subject or elsewhere, for example on websites or in connection with advertisements. Furthermore, Google is able to link the visit to this website with other personal data stored by Google. Google also records these personal data for the purpose of improving or optimizing the various services of Google.

Google receives information via the Google+ button whenever the data subject visits our website while logged in to Google+; this happens regardless of whether the data subject clicks on the Google+ button or not.

If the data subject does not want personal data transmitted to Google, they can prevent such transmission by logging out of their Google+ account before visiting our website.

Further information and the applicable data protection provisions of Google can be found at www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/. Additional information from Google about the Google +1 button can be found at developers.google.com/+/web/buttons-policy.

The controller has integrated Google AdWords on this website. Google AdWords is an online advertising service that allows advertisers to display ads both in Google's search engine results and on the Google advertising network. Google AdWords enables an advertiser to set certain keywords in advance, so that an ad is displayed in Google search results only if the user queries a keyword-relevant search result. In the Google advertising network, the ads are distributed automatically by an algorithm and according to the previously set keywords on topic-relevant websites.

The operator of the Google AdWords services is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA.

The purpose of Google AdWords is the promotion of our website by displaying interest-related advertising on third-party websites and in the search engine results of the Google search engine, as well as the display of third-party advertising on our website.

If a data subject reaches our website via a Google ad, a so-called conversion cookie is set on the data subject's information technology system 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. The conversion cookie allows tracking whether specific subpages, for example the shopping cart of an online shop system, were accessed on our website, provided the cookie has not expired. Using the conversion cookie, both we and Google can track whether a data subject who reached our website via an AdWords ad generated revenue, i.e., completed or aborted a purchase.

The data and information collected through the use of the conversion cookie are used by Google to create visit statistics for our website. We use these visit statistics to determine the total number of users referred to us via AdWords ads, to assess the success or failure of the respective AdWords ad, and to optimize our AdWords ads for the future. Neither our company nor other advertisers using Google AdWords receive information from Google that would allow identification of the data subject.

Using the conversion cookie, personal information such as the pages visited by the data subject is stored. With each visit to our websites, 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. These personal data are stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may disclose these personal data collected via this technical procedure to third parties.

The data subject can prevent the setting of cookies via our website as explained above at any time by adjusting the settings of the internet browser used and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Such a setting of the internet browser would also prevent Google from setting a conversion cookie on the data subject's information technology system. Furthermore, a cookie already set by Google AdWords can be deleted at any time via an internet browser or other software programs.

The privacy policy published by YouTube, which is available at www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/, provides information on the collection, processing, and use of personal data by YouTube and Google.

Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR serves our company as the legal basis for processing operations for which we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose. If the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, such as processing operations necessary for the delivery of goods or the provision of other services or benefits, the processing is based on Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR. The same applies to processing operations necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures, e.g., in the case of inquiries about our products or services. If our company is subject to a legal obligation requiring the processing of personal data, such as to comply with tax obligations, the processing is based on Article 6(1)(c) of the GDPR. In rare cases, processing of personal data may be necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person, e.g., if a visitor is injured in our company and their name, age, health insurance data, or other vital information must be passed on to a doctor, hospital, or other third parties. In that case, the processing would be based on Article 6(1)(d) of the GDPR. Ultimately, processing operations may be based on Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. This legal basis applies to processing operations not covered by any of the aforementioned legal bases, where processing is necessary for the legitimate interests of our company or a third party, provided the interests, fundamental rights, and freedoms of the data subject do not override those interests. Such processing operations are particularly permitted because they have been expressly mentioned by the European legislator. It considered that a legitimate interest may be presumed if the data subject is a customer of the controller (Recital 47 sentence 2 GDPR).

If processing of personal data is based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR, our legitimate interest is the conduct of our business for the benefit of the well-being of all our employees and our shareholders.

The criterion for the duration of the storage of personal data is the respective statutory retention period. After expiration of the period, the corresponding data are routinely deleted unless they are still required for contract fulfillment or contract initiation.

Necessity for contract conclusion; obligation of the data subject to provide personal data; possible consequences of non-provision

We inform you that the provision of personal data is partly required by law (e.g., tax regulations) or may also result from contractual agreements (e.g., information about the contractual partner). Sometimes it may be necessary for a data subject to provide us with personal data which we then have to process for contract conclusion. For example, a data subject is obliged to provide us with personal data if our company concludes a contract with him or her. Non-provision of personal data would mean that the contract could not be concluded with the data subject. Before providing personal data, the data subject should contact one of our employees. Our employee will inform the data subject individually whether the provision of personal data is required by law or contract or necessary for the conclusion of the contract, whether there is an obligation to provide the personal data, and the consequences of non-provision of the personal data.

As a responsible company, we refrain from automatic decision-making or profiling.

This privacy policy was created using the privacy policy generator of DGD Deutsche Gesellschaft für Datenschutz GmbH in cooperation with the Data Protection Lawyer Christian Solmecke.
