Tracking tools

The tracking measures listed below and used by us are conducted based on Art. 6 (1) f GDPR. With the tracking measures used, we aim to safeguard the needs-based design and ongoing optimization of our website.

Social media plugins
Based on Art. 6 (1) f GDPR, we use social plugins of the social networks Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram on our website, to make ourselves better known. The underlying advertising purpose is deemed to be a legitimate interest as defined by the GDPR. Responsibility for data protection-compliant operation lies with each respective provider.

Facebook
Social media Facebook plugins are used on our website to make their use more personal. To this end, we use the “LIKE” or “SHARE” button. This is an offer from Facebook. When you access one of the pages on our website that contains such a plugin, your browser makes a direct connection with the Facebook servers. The content of the plugins is sent directly from Facebook to your browser, which integrates it into the website. By integrating the plugins, Facebook receives the information that your browser has accessed the relevant page of our website, even if you do not have a Facebook account or are not logged onto Facebook. This information (including your IP address) is transmitted directly by your browser to a Facebook server in the USA and stored there. If you are logged onto Facebook, Facebook can link the visit to our website directly to your Facebook account. If you interact with the plugins, for example by clicking on the “LIKE or “SHARE” buttons, the information will also be transferred directly to a Facebook server and stored there. The information will also be published on Facebook and displayed to your Facebook friends. Facebook may use this information for advertising, market research, and the needs-related design of Facebook pages. To this end, Facebook creates usage, interests, and relationship profiles, e.g. to evaluate your use of our website about the advertising shown to you on Facebook, to inform other Facebook users about your activities on our website, and to provide other services connected to the use of Facebook. If you do not want Facebook to link data collected via our website with your Facebook account, you must log out of Facebook before visiting our website. For information on the purpose and scope of the data collection and the further processing and use of the data by Facebook, as well as your rights in this regard and settings options to protect your privacy, please consult the Facebook data protection notice (https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/).

An overview of tweet buttons can be found here (https://about.twitter.com/resources/buttons). When you access one of the pages on our website that contains such a plugin, your browser makes a direct connection with the Twitter servers. In this manner, Twitter receives the information that you have visited our website with your IP address. If you click on the “tweet button” while you are logged onto your Twitter account, you can link the content of our website with your Twitter profile. This enables Twitter to link the visit to our website with your user account. We wish to point out that we, as the operator of the website, do not have any knowledge of the content of the data transmitted or their use by Twitter.

The plugins are marked with an Instagram logo, for example in the form of an “Instagram camera”. When you access one of the pages on our website that contains such a plugin, your browser makes a direct connection with the Instagram server. The content of the plugin is transmitted directly by Instagram to your browser and integrated into the website. This integration enables Instagram to receive the information that your browser accessed the relevant page of our website, even if you do not have an Instagram profile or are not logged onto Instagram. This information (including your IP address) is transmitted directly by your browser to an Instagram server in the USA and stored there. If you are logged onto Instagram, Instagram can directly link your visit to our website to your Instagram account. If you interact with the plugins, for example by clicking on the “Instagram” button, this information is also transmitted to an Instagram server and stored there. The information is also published on your Instagram account and shown to your contacts. If you do not want Instagram to link data collected via our website with your Instagram account, you must log out of Instagram before visiting our website.

Google Analytics
This website uses Google Analytics including the Google Analytics advertising functions, provided that you have given us your consent to do so. Google Analytics uses so-called “cookies”; text files that are stored on your computer and allow an analysis of your usage of the website.
Google Analytics is exclusively deployed with activated IP anonymisation (so-called IP masking). This means that the IP address of the Google user is shortened within the member states of the European Union or in other states party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases, e.g., upon technical failures in Europe, will the full IP address be sent to a Google server in the USA and shortened there.
In the IP anonymisation method used by Google, the full IP address is not at any point written on a harddrive because the full anonymisation occurs almost immediately after receiving the request in the main storage.
On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information in order to evaluate the website usage, to compile reports on the website activities and in order provide further services connected to website usage and internet usage, in particular also functions for display advertisements and Google Analytics reports on performance according to demographic characteristics and interests. The data is stored on servers in the USA without encryption and both Google and governmental authorities have access to this data. Data may also be linked to other user data – such as search history, personal accounts, user data from other devices and all other devices that Google has for this user. If applicable, Google will also transfer this information to third parties if it is legally stipulated or if third parties are processing this data on behalf of Google. In this regard, this information is not under any circumstance personal data.
Data acquired though interest-based advertising by Google and visitor data of third party providers (e.g., age group or interest group) is used in the Google Analytics reports on performance according to demographic characteristics and interests. The legal basis for the transmission of your personal data is your explicit and informed (see text passage above) consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO.

For a data transfer to an insecure third country, such as the USA, appropriate guarantees are required to protect your personal data. After the European Court of Justice (ECJ) declared the so-called EU-US Privacy Shield with the USA to be ineffective on 16.7.2020, this can no longer be used as a guarantee for compliance with an adequate level of data protection. Instead, Art. 49 (1) (a) FADP constitutes the exception for data transfer to an unsafe third country.
