  1. Legitimate interests (Art. 6 para. 1 p.1 lit. f DSGVO): The processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests of the controller or of a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject which require the protection of personal data.
  2. Contract fulfillment and pre-contractual inquiries (Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. b. DSGVO): The processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party or for the implementation of pre-contractual measures taken at the request of the data subject.
  3. Legal obligation (Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. c. DSGVO): The processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which the controller is subject.
  4. Protection of vital interests (Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. d. DSGVO): The processing is necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person.
  5. Application procedure as a pre-contractual or contractual relationship (Art. 9 para. 1 p. 1 lit. b DSGVO): (Insofar as special categories of personal data within the meaning of Article 9 (1) of the GDPR (e.g. health data, such as severely disabled status or ethnic origin) are requested from applicants in the context of the application process so that the controller or the data subject can exercise the rights accruing to him or her under labor law and social security and social protection law and fulfill his or her obligations in this regard, their processing shall be carried out in accordance with Article 9 (2) b. DSGVO, in case of protection of vital interests of the applicants or other persons according to Art. 9 para. 2 lit. c. DSGVO or for the purposes of preventive health care or occupational medicine, for the assessment of the employee's ability to work, for medical diagnostics, care or treatment in the health or social sector or for the management of systems and services in the health or social sector pursuant to Art. 9 para. 2 lit. h. DSGVO. In the case of communication of special categories of data based on voluntary consent, their processing is based on Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a. DSGVO.).
  6. Data processing for the purposes of the employment relationship (§ 26 BDSG): We process (special) types of personal data in the employment relationship on the basis of the statutory provision for the purpose of establishing, implementing and terminating the employment relationship.
  7. Consent (if requested) (Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. a DSGVO): The data subject has given his/her consent to the processing of personal data concerning him/her for a specific purpose or purposes.
  8. Storage of information in the end user's terminal equipment with the end user's consent (§ Section 25 (1) sentence 1 TTDSG): We use memory areas of the terminal equipment of our users for certain functions with the explicit and informed consent of the same.
  9. Storage of information in the end user's terminal equipment due to necessity (§ 25 Ab. 2 No. 2 TTDSG): Unless we have asked for your permission when you visit our website or use individual functions, we use the memory of your terminal device for the technical presentation and delivery of our telemedia service if this is technically absolutely necessary.
  10. Processing for the exercise of a public interest (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. e DSGVO): To the extent that processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller.

Security measures

We take appropriate technical and organizational measures in accordance with the legal requirements, taking into account the state of the art, the implementation costs and the nature, scope, circumstances and purposes of the processing, as well as the different probabilities of occurrence and the extent of the threat to the rights and freedoms of natural persons, in order to ensure a level of protection appropriate to the risk, Article 32 GDPR. The security measures we take include, in particular, the following.

  • Secure Sockets Layer | Transport Layer Security (SSL): We use SSL / TLS for encrypted transmission of data between the end devices of our visitors and our server. In this way, the risk of unauthorized viewing of the transmitted data is significantly reduced.

Transfer and disclosure of personal data to third parties

In the course of our processing of personal data, it may happen that the data is transferred to or data is disclosed to other bodies, companies, legally independent organizational units or persons. The recipients of this data may include in particular:

  • IT service provider: This includes service providers for the provision of hosting, mail services and server technology
  • Payment service provider: Service providers who cooperate with us to process payments.
  • Shipping service provider: Service providers who perform logistics tasks for us. These include parcel service providers in particular.
  • Authorities: Government agencies with which we exchange data for the purpose of fulfilling orders or for legal reasons.

In such a case, we ensure the protection of personal data by concluding contracts or agreements with the respective third parties that serve to adequately protect the data. We carefully and conscientiously select third parties to whom we disclose data. Insofar as we use third-party providers or platforms to provide our services, the terms and conditions and data protection notices of the respective third-party providers or platforms apply in the relationship between the users and the providers.

Data processing in third countries

Insofar as we process data in a third country, i.e. a country outside the European Union or the European Economic Area, or the processing is carried out by third parties outside this area, this processing is only carried out in accordance with the applicable legal provisions. Subject to the express consent of the data subjects or legally required transfers, we only process data or have data processed in third countries with an adequate level of protection. This includes, in particular, countries that process on the basis of special guarantees, such as contractual obligation through so-called standard protection clauses of the EU Commission, the existence of certifications or binding internal data protection regulations (Art. 44 to 49 DSGVO).

General note on the deletion of data

The data processed by us will be deleted in accordance with the legal requirements as soon as the consent to its processing has been revoked or other permissions (e.g. legitimate interests, legal obligations, etc.) cease to apply. If the data is not deleted because it is required for other and legally permissible purposes, its processing is limited to these purposes. I.e., the data is blocked and not processed for other purposes. This applies, for example, to data that must be retained for reasons of commercial or tax law or whose storage is necessary for the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person. Further information on the deletion of personal data is provided, where applicable, under the individual points of this data protection declaration.

Social media

Um mit unseren (potentiellen) Kunden und anderen interessierten Personen effektiv kommunizieren zu können und diesen einen naheliegenden Kontakt- und Informationspunkt anzubieten, unterhalten wir Präsenzen in einigen sozialen Medien.
Wir weisen darauf hin, dass bei der Nutzung von sozialen Medien Daten außerhalb des Raumes der Europäischen Union verarbeitet werden können, wodurch sich für den Nutzer Risiken bezüglich der Durchsetzung seiner Rechte ergeben.

Social media regularly analyze the behavior of their users for marketing purposes. In doing so, they create far-reaching profiles about the interests and usage behavior of their users in order to be able to display personalized advertising to them. By setting cookies and integrating them into third-party sites, information can also be collected that goes beyond the direct use of the social network
In particular, information about the terminal device used, the Internet connection (IP address) and, if applicable, the location of the user may also be collected.

Wir weisen darauf hin, dass lediglich die Anbieter dieser Netzwerke Zugriff auf die über den Nutzer erhobenen Daten haben; eine Auskunftsanfrage ist folglich am effektivsten gegenüber diesen geltend zu machen.
Einzelheiten und weitere datenschutzrechtliche Informationen zu den verwendeten sozialen Netzwerken finden Sie nachfolgend.

Usage

We use this platform to perform the following functions.

Social media

In order to be able to communicate effectively with our (potential) customers and other interested persons and to offer them an obvious point of contact and information, we maintain presences in some social media.

Our website may display elements whose click leads users to the respective presence on social media (icon links, etc.).

Processed data: Usage data, Metadata, Content data, Contact details, Inventory data, Geodata

Affected persons: Users, Communication partner

Legal basis of processing: Legitimate interests

Legitimate Interests:

  • Customer communication and support: Our legitimate interest in a direct, simple communication with our (potential) customers; possibly also in an environment used by them anyway, as well as our legitimate interest in being able to offer customer-oriented support at this point.

Facebook

We operate a presence on the social network Facebook.
We would like to point out that you use this Facebook page and its functions on your own responsibility. This applies in particular to the use of the interactive functions (e.g. commenting, sharing, rating)

Alternatively, you can also access the information offered via this page on our website.


When you visit our Facebook page, Facebook collects, among other things, your IP address and other information in the
form of cookies on your PC. This information is used to provide us, as operators of the Facebook pages, with statistical information about the use of the Facebook page.

Facebook provides more detailed information on this at the following URL
http://de-de.facebook.com/help/pages/insightsDie. Data collected about you in this context is processed by Facebook Ltd. and may be transferred to countries outside the European Union.

 

Facebook describes in general terms what information it receives and how it is used in its data usage guidelines. There you will also find information on how to contact Facebook and on the settings options for advertisements. The data usage guidelines are available at the following URL

 

http://de-de.facebook.com/about/privacyDie You can find Facebook's complete data policy here

https://de-de.facebook.com/full_data_use_policyDie data collected about you in this context is processed by Facebook Ltd. and may be transferred to countries outside the European Union in the process.

 
If you visit one of our presences in social media (e.g. Facebook), you trigger a processing of your personal data during such a visit.
 
In this case, we are jointly responsible with the operator of the respective social network for the data processing operations within the meaning of Art. 26 DSGVO, provided that we actually make a joint decision with the operator of the social network about the data processing and we also have an influence on the data processing.
 
As far as possible, we have concluded joint responsibility agreements with the operators of the social networks pursuant to Art. Art. 26 DSGVO, so in particular the so-called "Page Controller Addendums" of Facebook Ireland Ltd.

Your rights (right to information pursuant to Art. 15 DSGVO, right to rectification pursuant to Art. 16 DSGVO, right to erasure pursuant to Art. 17 DSGVO, right to restriction of processing pursuant to Art. 18 DSGVO, right to data portability pursuant to Art. 20 DSGVO and right to lodge a complaint pursuant to Art. 77 DSGVO ) can in principle be asserted both against us and against the operator of the respective social network (e.g. Facebook).
Please note that despite the joint responsibility pursuant to Art. 26 DSGVO with the operators of social networks, we have no full influence on the data processing of the individual social networks. The corporate policy of the respective provider has a significant influence on our options.
In the event of the assertion of data subject rights, we could only forward these requests to the operator of the social network.
In what way Facebook uses data from visits to Facebook pages for its own purposes, to what extent activities on the Facebook page are assigned to individual users, how long Facebook stores this data and whether data from a visit to the Facebook page is passed on to third parties, is not conclusively and clearly stated by Facebook and is not known to us.

When you access a Facebook page, the IP address assigned to your terminal device is transmitted to Facebook. According to Facebook, this IP address is anonymized (for "German" IP addresses) and deleted after 90 days. Facebook also stores information about the end devices of its users (for example, as part of the "login notification" function); this may allow Facebook to assign IP addresses to individual users.

Usage

We use this platform to perform the following functions.

Social media

In order to be able to communicate effectively with our (potential) customers and other interested persons and to offer them an obvious point of contact and information, we maintain presences in some social media.

Our website may display elements whose click leads users to the respective presence on social media (icon links, etc.).

Processed data: Usage data, Metadata, Content data, Contact details, Inventory data, Geodata

Affected persons: Users, Communication partner

Legal basis of processing: Legitimate interests

Legitimate Interests:

  • Customer communication and support: Our legitimate interest in a direct, simple communication with our (potential) customers; possibly also in an environment used by them anyway, as well as our legitimate interest in being able to offer customer-oriented support at this point.

Instagram

We operate a page on the social network Instagram.

We would like to point out that you use this Instagram page and its functions on your own responsibility. This applies in particular to the use of the interactive functions (for example, commenting or rating).
When you visit our Instagram page, Instagram collects, among other things, your IP address and other information that is present in the form of cookies on your PC. This information is used to provide us, as operators of the Instagram pages, with statistical information about the use of the Instagram page.

The data collected about you in this context is processed by Instagram Inc. and may be transferred to countries outside the European Union in the process.

What information Instagram receives and how it is used is described in general terms by Instagram in its privacy policy. There you will also find information about contact options to Instagram as well as further options to make settings regarding the playout of targeted advertising.
https://help.instagram.com/519522125107875In in which way Instagram uses the data from the visit of Instagram pages for its own purposes, to what extent activities on the
Instagram page are assigned to individual users, how long Instagram stores this data and whether data from a visit to the Instagram page is passed on to third parties, is not conclusively and clearly stated by Instagram and is not known to us.


When accessing an Instagram page, the IP address assigned to your end device is transmitted to Instagram. According to Instagram, this IP address is anonymized (after the processing operation) (for "German" IP addresses) and deleted after 90 days. Instagram also stores information about the end devices of its users (for example, as part of the "registration notification" function); if necessary, Instagram is thus able to assign IP addresses to individual users.
If you are currently logged in to Instagram as a user, a cookie with your Instagram ID is located on your end device. This enables Instagram to track that you have visited this page and how you have used it. This also applies to all other Instagram pages.
Instagram may also be able to associate your visit to our website with your profile, for example by reading the so-called "referrer header".
If you want to avoid this, you must adjust the cookie settings of your browser or delete the corresponding cookies of the provider. Alternatively, you can increase the protection against tracking by using a private window of your browser.
We, as the provider of the information service, do not collect or process any data from your use of our service beyond this.
You can find this privacy policy in the respective applicable version under the item "Data Policy" on and the respective Instagram page.
