In cases where the processing of personal data is required to fulfil a contract for which the person concerned is the contractual party, Art. 6 (1) (b) of the GDPR serves as the legal basis. This also applies for processing operations required for the implementation of precontractual measures.
As far as the processing of personal data is required to comply with a legal obligation to which we are subject, Art. 6 (1) (c) of the GDPR serves as the legal basis.
f the processing is required to safeguard a legitimate interest of our company or a third party, and the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not override the aforementioned interest, Art. 6 (1) (f) of the GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing.

.In order to fulfill contractual obligations, data collected from you may be stored for as long as the contract exists and, depending on the scope of the contract, for 6 or 10 years beyond that in order to comply with statutory retention obligations and to clarify any inquiries or claims that may arise after the contract has expired. If a contract is not concluded, we will delete your data after 3 years at the end of the statutory limitation period.
If, at our discretion, data is necessary to check or defend against claims against us or to initiate criminal prosecution or bring claims against you, us or third parties, we may retain this data for as long as such proceedings could be brought.
For customer service purposes, the data collected from you may be stored for 3 to 10 years after collection, unless you request the deletion of this data and there are no contractual or statutory retention obligations that conflict with this request for deletion. Relevant verification and retention obligations arise, among other things, from the German Commercial Code and the German Fiscal Code. In this case, the legal basis for processing is the respective statutory regulations in conjunction with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c) GDPR.

We use the services of ELAINE to send newsletters. This service is provided by ELAINE Technologies, Zanderstrasse 7, 53177 Bonn, Germany. ELAINE is a service that organizes and evaluates the sending of newsletters. To ensure that the security of your data can also be guaranteed when it is processed by ELAINE, we have concluded an order processing contract with ELAINE in accordance with Art. 28 GDPR.
We also use ELAINE to analyze our newsletter campaigns. The newsletters contain so-called tracking pixels. A tracking pixel is a miniature graphic that is embedded in emails that are sent in HTML format to enable log file recording and log file analysis. This allows a statistical evaluation of the success or failure of online marketing campaigns to be carried out. Based on the embedded tracking pixel, we as the controller can recognize whether and when an email was opened by a data subject. Customized links can also be used to record which links in the email were accessed by the data subject. In addition, technical information is collected (e.g. time of access, IP address, browser type and operating system). This information cannot be assigned to a specific recipient.
As the responsible party, we use this data exclusively for the statistical evaluation of our newsletter campaigns in order to optimize the newsletter dispatch and to better tailor future newsletters to your interests.
ELAINE may use the data of the recipients in pseudonymous form, i.e. without allocation to a user, to optimize or improve its own services, e.g. for the technical optimization of the dispatch and presentation of the newsletter or for statistical purposes. However, ELAINE does not use the data of our newsletter recipients to write to them itself or to pass the data on to third parties. If you unsubscribe from the newsletter, your data will be deleted from ELAINE's servers.

Social plug-ins from the social networks Facebook (Facebook Inc., 1601 S.

These services are offered by the respective company (“provider”). The social plug-ins used on our websites are identified by the respective buttons. On the basis of the data transmitted via the social plug-ins to the respective service, the service may be able to correlate you with your associated account. To enhance the protection of your data on our website, social plug-ins are integrated using a method known as the “two-click solution”. This ensures that on accessing one of our websites containing social plug-ins, no automatic connection is established with the servers of the respective provider.
Activation of the respective social plug-in function takes place in two stages. To activate a social plug-in, you firstly have to click on the link on our website. This then activates the social plug-in and your browser initiates a connection to the servers of the respective provider. With a second click, you can interact with the social plug-in and send your recommendation, for example. If you are already logged in to one of the social networks, the providers can directly correlate the visit to this website with your profile. If you click on and interact with the social plug-ins, the relevant information is also sent directly to one of the provider’s servers, where it is stored. The information may also be published on the social network and appear there under your contacts. Should you wish to prevent the direct correlation of data collected via our website with your profile, you will need to log out of your account with the respective provider prior to visiting our websites.
Details about the extent and purpose of data collection by the respective service as well as the processing and use of your data can be found in the privacy statement on the service website.

We use Google Ads technology, specifically conversion tracking. Google conversion tracking is an analysis service of Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, US. If you click on an ad activated by Google, a cookie for conversion tracking is stored on your PC. The cookies are valid for 30 days and are not used for personal identification. If you visit certain pages of our website before the cookie has expired, we and Google can recognise that you have clicked on a specific ad and were forwarded to this page. We receive a different cookie every time. It is therefore not possible to track cookies through our website.
The data collected with conversion cookies is used to compile conversion statistics for us using conversion tracking. In this process, we learn about the number of users who have clicked on our ad and were then forwarded to a page with a conversion tracking tag. However, we do not receive any information that can identify users personally.
If you do not wish to take part in conversion tracking, you can prevent this by changing a corresponding setting in your browser so as to generally prevent the installation of cookies, for example. You can also deactivate cookies for conversion tracking by setting your browser to only block cookies from the “googleadservices.com” web address.
Our legitimate interest lies in the aforementioned data processing operations and in the purposes thus pursued. Art. 6 (1) (f) of the GDPR forms the legal basis for this.
