When exercising such an objection, we ask you to explain the reasons why we should not process your personal data in the way we have done. In the event of your objection, we will review the situation and either discontinue or adjust the data processing or show you our compelling legitimate grounds on the basis of which we will continue the processing.

(3) Of course, you can object to the processing of your personal data for advertising and data analysis purposes at any time.

§ 9 Google Analytics

(1) Our services use Google Analytics, a web tracking service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland ("Google"). The purpose of our use of the tool is to enable analysis of your user interactions on websites and in apps and to use the statistics and reports obtained to improve our offering and make it more interesting for you as a user.

(2) We collect the interactions between you as a user and our services primarily by means of cookies, device/browser data and website or app activities.

(3) Google acts as a processor and we have concluded a corresponding contract with Google. The information generated by the cookie and the (usually shortened) IP addresses about your use of our services are usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and processed there. We have agreed on a so-called standard contractual clause with Google, the purpose of which is to ensure compliance with an appropriate level of data protection in the third country.

(4) The legal basis for the processing of the information is your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. a GDPR). Revocation of your consent is possible at any time without affecting the permissibility of the processing until revocation. The easiest way to revoke your consent is to use our Consent Manager or to install the Google browser add-on, which can be accessed via the following link: tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en/.

§ 10 Social media

1. Use of social media plugins

(1) We may use social media plugins, which are only loaded if you have previously activated the function by giving your consent. Via the plugins, we offer you the opportunity to interact with the social networks and other users. The legal basis for the use of the plugins is Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. a GDPR, i.e. the integration only takes place after your consent.

(2) The plugin provider stores the data collected about you as usage profiles and/or uses these for the purposes of advertising, market research and/or demand-oriented design of its website. Such an evaluation is carried out in particular for the display of needs-based advertising and to inform other users of the social network about your activities on our website. If you are logged in to the plugin provider, your data collected from us will be directly assigned to your account with the plugin provider. We recommend that you log out regularly after using a social network, but especially before activating the button, as this will help you avoid being assigned to your profile with the plugin provider.

(3) You may revoke your consent at any time without affecting the permissibility of the processing until revocation. The easiest way to revoke your consent is via our Consent Manager or via the functions of the social media providers.

(4) Further information on the purpose and scope of the data collection and its processing by the plugin provider can be found in the data protection declarations of these providers. There you will also receive further information on your rights in this regard and setting options for protecting your privacy.

2. Integration of YouTube videos

(1) We have integrated YouTube videos into our online offer, which are stored on YouTube.com and can be played directly from our website. The legal basis for the display of the videos is Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. a GDPR, i.e. the integration only takes place after your consent.

(2) By visiting the website, YouTube receives the information that you have accessed the corresponding sub-page of our website. In addition, basic data such as IP address and timestamp are transmitted. This takes place regardless of whether YouTube provides a user account via which you are logged in or whether no user account exists. If you are logged in to Google, your data will be directly assigned to your account. YouTube stores your data as usage profiles and/or uses them for the purposes of advertising, market research and/or designing its website in line with requirements. Such an evaluation is carried out in particular (even for users who are not logged in) to provide needs-based advertising and to inform other users of the social network about your activities on our website. You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles, and you must contact YouTube to exercise this right.

(3) The information collected is stored on Google servers, including in the USA. We have agreed on a so-called standard contractual clause with Google, the purpose of which is to ensure compliance with an appropriate level of data protection in the third country.

(4) For further information on the purpose and scope of data collection and its processing by YouTube, please refer to the Google privacy policy. There you will also find further information on your rights and setting options to protect your privacy: www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy.

(2) We use technical and organizational security measures to protect your data, in particular against manipulation, loss, destruction or against attack by unauthorized persons. Our security measures are continuously improved in line with technological developments.
