This privacy statement complies with the legal requirements for transparency in the processing of personal data. This is any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. This includes, for example, information such as your name, age, address, telephone number, date of birth, e-mail address, IP address or user behavior when visiting a website. Information for which we cannot (or can only with a disproportionate effort) establish a reference to your person, e.g. by anonymization, is not personal data. The processing of personal data (e.g. collection, retrieval, use, storage or transmission) always requires a legal basis and a defined purpose.

Stored personal data will be deleted as soon as the purpose of the processing has been achieved and there are no legitimate reasons for further storage of the data. We will inform you about the specific storage periods or criteria for storage in the individual processing operations. Irrespective of this, we store your personal in individual cases for the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims and if there are statutory retention obligations.

We only share your personal data that we process on our website with third parties if this is necessary for the fulfillment of the purposes and is covered by the legal basis in the individual case (e.g. consent or protection of legitimate interests). In addition, we share personal data with third parties in individual cases if this serves the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims. Possible recipients may then be, for example, law enforcement agencies, lawyers, auditors, courts, etc.

Insofar as we use service providers for the operation of our website who process personal data on our behalf within the scope of commissioned processing pursuant to Art. 28 GDPR, they may be recipients of your personal data. For more information on the use of processors and web services, please refer to the overview of the individual processing operations.

Cookies are small text files that are sent by us to the browser of your end device during your visit to our website and stored there. As an alternative to the use of cookies, information can also be stored in the local storage of your browser. Some functions of our website cannot be offered without the use of cookies or local storage (technically necessary cookies). Other cookies, on the other hand, enable us to perform various analyses, so that we are able, for example, to recognize the browser you are using when you visit our website again and to transmit various information to us (non-essential cookies). With the help of cookies, we can, among other things, make our website more user-friendly and effective for you, for example by tracking your use of our website and determining your preferred settings (e.g. country and language settings). If third parties process information by using cookies, they collect the information directly from your browser. Cookies do not cause any damage to your end device. They cannot execute programs or contain viruses.

We provide information about the respective services for which we use cookies in the individual processing operations. You can find detailed information about the cookies used in the cookie settings or in the Consent Manager of this website.

• Information pursuant to Art. 15 GDPR about the data stored about you in the form of significant information about the details of the processing and a copy of your data;
• Rectification according to Art. 16 GDPR of incorrect or incomplete data stored by us;
• Erasure pursuant to Art. 17 GDPR of the data stored by us, unless the processing is necessary for the exercise of the right to freedom of expression and information, for compliance with a legal obligation, for reasons of public interest or for the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims;
• Restriction of processing pursuant to Art. 18 GDPR, insofar as the accuracy of the data is disputed, the processing is unlawful, we no longer need the data and you object to their erasure because you need them for the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims or you have objected to the processing pursuant to Art. 21 GDPR.
• Data portability pursuant to Art. 20 GDPR, insofar as you have provided us with personal data within the scope of consent pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR or on the basis of a contract pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR and these have been processed by us with the aid of automated processes. You will receive your data in a structured, common and machine-readable format or we will transfer the data directly to another responsible party, insofar as this is technically feasible.
• Objection pursuant to Art. 21 GDPR against the processing of your personal data, insofar as this is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 (1) e, f GDPR and there are reasons for this that arise from your particular situation or the objection is addressed to direct advertising. The right to object does not exist if overriding compelling legitimate reasons for the processing are demonstrated or the processing is carried out for the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims. Where the right to object does not exist for individual processing operations, it is indicated there.
• Revocation pursuant to Art. 7 (3) GDPR of your granted consent with effect for the future.
• Complaint pursuant to Art. 77 GDPR to a supervisory authority if you believe that the processing of your personal data violates the GDPR. As a rule, you can contact the supervisory authority of your usual place of residence, your place of work or our company headquarters.

In the following, we inform you about the individual processing operations, the scope and purpose of the data processing, the legal basis, the obligation to provide your data and the respective storage period. An automated decision in individual cases, including profiling does not take place.

Type and scope of processing

When accessing and using our website, we collect the personal data that your browser automatically transmits to our server. The following information is temporarily stored in a so-called log file:

• IP address of the requesting computer.
• Date and time of access
• Name and URL of the accessed file
• Website from which the access is made (referrer URL)
• Browser used and, if applicable, the operating system of your computer, as well as the name of your access provider.

Our website is not hosted by ourselves, but by a service provider who processes the aforementioned data on our behalf in accordance with Art. 28 GDPR.

Purpose and legal basis

The processing is carried out to protect our overriding legitimate interest to display our website and ensure security and stability on the basis of Art. 6 (1) f GDPR. The collection of data and storage in log files is mandatory for the operation of the website. There is no right to object to the processing due to the exception under Art. 21 (1) GDPR. Insofar as the further storage of log files is required by law, the processing is based on Art. 6 (1) c GDPR. There is no legal or contractual obligation to provide the data, however, accessing our website is technically not possible without providing the data.

Storage period

The aforementioned data is stored for the duration of the display of the website.

We maintain so-called fan pages or accounts or channels on the networks mentioned below in order to provide you with information and offers also within social networks and to offer you further ways to contact us and to inform yourself about our offers. In the following, we inform you about the data that we or the respective social network process from you in context with the access and use of our fan pages/accounts.

Data that we process from you

If you wish to contact us via Messenger or via Direct Message via the respective social network, we generally process your user name via which you contact us and, if applicable, store further data provided by you insofar as this is necessary to process/respond to your request.
The legal basis is Art. 6 (1) f GDPR (processing is necessary to protect the legitimate interests of the controller).

(Static) Usage Data we Receive from the Social Networks

We receive automatically provided statistics regarding our accounts via Insights functionalities. The statistics include, among other things, the total number of page views, likes, information on page activities and post interactions, reach, video views, and information on the proportion of men/women among our fans/followers.

The statistics only contain aggregated data that cannot be related to individual persons. You are not identifiable to us by this.

Which data the social networks process from you

In order to view the content of our fan pages or accounts, you do not have to be a member of the respective social network and, to this extent, no user account for the respective social network is required.

Please note, however, that when you visit the respective social network, the social networks also collect and store data from website visitors without a user account (e.g. technical data in order to be able to display the website to you) and use cookies and similar technologies, over which we have no control. Details on this can be found in the privacy policy of the respective social network (see the corresponding links above)

Insofar as you wish to interact with the content on our fan pages/accounts, e.g. comment on, share or like our postings/contributions and/or contact us via messenger functions, prior registration with the respective social network and the provision of personal data is required.

We have no influence on the data processing by the social networks within the scope of their use by you. To our knowledge, your data is stored and processed in particular with regard to the provision of the services of the respective social network, as well as for the analysis of user behavior (using cookies, pixels/web beacons and similar technologies), on the basis of which advertising based on your interests is played both within and outside the respective social network. It cannot be ruled out that your data will be stored by the social networks outside the EU/EEA and passed on to third parties.

Information on, among other things, the exact scope and purposes of the processing of your personal data, the storage period/deletion as well as guidelines on the use of cookies and similar technologies in the context of registration and use of the social networks can be found in the privacy policy/cookie policy of the social networks. There you will also find information on your rights and objection options.

When you visit our Youtube Channel, Youtube (Google) 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 the operator of the Youtube pages, with statistical information about the use of the Youtube page. Youtube provides more detailed information on this under the following link: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de&gl=de#infocollect.

By means of the transmitted statistical information, it is not possible for us to draw conclusions about individual users. We only use this information to respond to the interests of our users and to continuously improve our online presence and ensure its quality.

We collect your data on our fan page only to realize a possible provision for communication and interaction with us. This collection usually includes your name, message content, comment content, and the profile information you provide "publicly".

The processing of your personal data for our above-mentioned purposes is based on our legitimate business and communicative interest in offering an information and communication channel pursuant to Art. 6 (1) f GDPR. Should you, as a user, have given your consent to the data processing to the respective provider of the social network, the legal basis of the processing extends to Art. 6 (1) a, Art. 7 GDPR.

Due to the fact that the actual data processing is carried out by the provider of the social network, our access to your data is limited. Only the provider of the social network is authorized to fully access your data. Due to this, only the provider can directly take and implement appropriate measures to fulfill your user rights (information request, deletion request, objection, etc.). The assertion of corresponding rights is therefore most effective directly against the respective provider.

We are jointly responsible with Youtube for the personal content of the fan page. Data subject rights can be asserted with Google Ireland Ltd. as well as with us.
The primary responsibility for the processing of data lies with Youtube according to the GDPR and Youtube fulfills all obligations under the GDPR with regard to the processing of data, Google Ireland Ltd. provides the essence of the Page Insights supplement to the data subjects.

We do not make any decisions regarding the processing data and storage duration of cookies on user terminals.
