IV. Use of Analysis Tools
Our website uses web analysis services so that we can tailor it to the market and for advertising purposes.
a. Google Analytics
This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google, Inc. (“Google”). Google Analytics uses cookies, which are text files placed on your computer, to help the website analyze how you use the site. The information generated by the cookie about your use of the website will, as a rule, be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States.
IP anonymization
We have activated the IP anonymization function on this website. Consequently, Google will truncate your IP address in the Member States of the European Union and other States that are contracting parties to the Agreement on the European Economic Area before transmitting it to the United States. Your full IP address will be transmitted to the United States and truncated on a server belonging to Google there only by way of exception. At the website operator’s request, Google will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of the website, compiling reports on website activity and providing other services relating to website activity and Internet usage for the website operator. Google will not associate any other data held by Google with the IP address obtained from your browser using Google Analytics.
You may refuse the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser. However, please note that if you do this, you may not be able to use the full functionality of this website. If you wish to prevent information generated by cookies about your use of the website (including your IP address) being sent to and processed by Google, you can download and install the following browser plug-in (https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en) .
As an alternative to using a browser plug-in, especially in the case of browsers on mobile devices, you can prevent collection by Google Analytics by clicking on the following link. This will place an opt-out cookie on your device that will prevent the collection of your data when you visit this website in the future:
The opt-out cookie applies only with this browser and only for our website. It is placed on your device. If you delete the cookies in this browser, you will have to reset the opt-out cookie.
Processing of data by a third party
We have concluded a data processing contract with Google and implement the stringent requirements of the German data protection authorities when using Google Analytics.
We use Google Analytics to analyze the use of our website and so as to be able to make continual improvements to it. The statistics obtained enable us to enhance our offerings and make them more attractive for you as the user. In those cases where, by way of exception, personal data are transmitted to the USA, Google has committed to comply with the EU-US Privacy Shield https://www.privacyshield.gov/EU-US-Framework. Art. 6(1)(f) of the GDPR provides the legal basis for using Google Analytics. Our legitimate interest is derived from the above-mentioned purposes.
Information about the third-party provider: Google Dublin, Google Ireland Ltd., Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, Fax: +353 (1) 436 1001. Terms of Service: https://www.google.com/analytics/terms/us.html, overview of data privacy: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245?hl=en and its privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en&gl=de .
b. MyFonts Counter
On this website we use MyFonts Counter, a web analytics service of MyFonts Inc., 500 Unicorn Park Drive, Woburn, MA 01801, USA. Due to the license terms, a page view tracking is performed by counting the number of site visits for statistical purposes and transmitting them to MyFonts. MyFonts only collects anonymous data. If necessary, the data will be passed on by activating Java Script code in your browser. To prevent the implementation of Java script code from MyFonts as a whole, you can install a Java Script Blocker (for example, www.noscript.net). For more information about MyFonts Counter, please see the MyFonts privacy policy at http://www.myfonts.com/info/terms-and-conditions/#Privacy
V. Links to Our Social Media Presence
Our website contains links to our social media presence
When you visit our website none of your personal data are initially shared with social network providers. Only if you click on the link and thus land on our page of the respective social network does the social network provider receive information that you accessed the relevant webpage of our online offering. In addition, the data specified in section III. §1 of this Privacy Notice are transferred. When you click on the link, your personal data are transferred to the respective social network provider and stored there (in the case of US providers in the USA). Since the provider uses, in particular, cookies to collect data, we recommend that you adjust your browser’s security settings to delete all cookies before you click on the link.
We have no control over the data collected or the plug-in provider’s data processing activities. Nor are we aware of the extent to which data are collected, the purpose of such collection or how long the data are stored. In addition, we have no information regarding the erasure of data collected by social network providers.
Social network providers store the data they collect about you to create a user profile, which they then use for advertising, market analysis and to tailor their websites to the market. This kind of analysis is carried out, in particular (including in respect of users who are not logged in) for the purposes of presenting advertising tailored to the market and to inform other social network users about your activities on our website. You have the right to object to the creation of this user profile. However, to exercise this right, you need to contact the respective social network provider which is the controller under data privacy law. We offer you the opportunity to interact with social networks and other users through links so that we can improve our offerings and make them more attractive for you. Art. 6(1)(f) of the GDPR provides the legal basis for this. Our legitimate interest is derived from the above-mentioned purposes.
Your data are passed on regardless of whether or not you have an account with the social network provider and are logged in with it. If you are logged in, the personal data collected from our site are directly assigned to your account with the respective provider. If you click on the link and, for example, link the page, the plug-in provider will also store this information in your user account and share it publicly with your contacts. We recommend that you regularly log out after using a social network, in particular, however, that you log out before clicking the link since this will allow you to avoid having your data assigned to the profile that the provider has for you.
More information about the purpose and scope of data collection and processing by social network providers can be found in their privacy policies set out below. These also include information about your privacy rights and settings to protect your privacy.
Addresses of the respective plug-in providers, their URLs and their privacy notices:
LinkedIn Corporation, 2029 Stierlin Court, Mountain View, California 94043, USA; http://www.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy. LinkedIn has committed to comply with the EU-US Privacy Shield, https://www.privacyshield.gov/EU-US-Framework.
VI. Integration of Google reCaptcha and Google Fonts/MyFonts
a) reCaptcha
We use Google reCAPTCHA (“reCAPTCHA”) on our webpages. The provider is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (“Google”). reCAPTCHA is a system designed to establish whether data entered on our website (e.g. in a contact form) was entered by a human or an automated program. To do this reCAPTCHA analyzes the behavior of website visitors according to various criteria. Analysis automatically begins when a visitor accesses our website. reCAPTCHA analyses various pieces of information (e.g. IP address, time a visitor spends on the website or the number of mouse movements). Data collected during the analysis are transferred to Google.
Before transmitting it to the United States, Google will, however, truncate your IP address in the Member States of the European Union and other States that are contracting parties to the Agreement on the European Economic Area with the help of the IP anonymization feature used on this website (see section IV). Your full IP address will be transmitted to the United States and truncated on a server belonging to Google there only by way of exception. At the website operator’s request, Google will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of these services. Google will not associate any other data held by Google with the IP address obtained from your browser using reCaptcha.
Art. 6(1)(f) of the GDPR provides the legal basis for data processing. We have a legitimate interest in protecting our web offerings from abusive, automated spying and spam.
For further information about Google’s reCAPTCHA and Google’s privacy policy please follow these links: https://www.google.com/intl/de/policies/privacy/ and https://www.google.com/recaptcha/intro/android.html.
b) Google Fonts
We use Google Fonts to enhance the appearance of various information on our website (https://fonts.google.com/). The webfonts are locally installed on this website. There is no connection to Google servers.
For further information, please view Google Fonts’ privacy policy at: https://developers.google.com/fonts/faq#Privacy
General information about privacy can be downloaded from the Google privacy center at: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en
c) MyFonts
To display the fonts on our website, we use web fonts from “myfonts.com”, a font service of MyFonts lnc. (“myfonts.com”), 600 Unicorn Park Drive, Woburn, MA 01801, USA. MyFonts provides licensed fonts that can be integrated on websites. For billing and license control a so-called Counter Pixel / Web Beacon of MyFonts has been deposited on our website. In this way, for example, the IP address or technical data of the terminal of the website visitor can be transmitted to MyFonts. Further information on data protection at MyFonts can be found at the following link: https://www.myfonts.com/legal/privacy-policy
VII. Advertising
Use of Google AdWords Conversion
We use the services of Google AdWords on third-party websites to draw attention to our attractive offerings. We can ascertain, based on data from an advertising campaign, how successful individual advertising activities are. In this way, we pursue our interest in displaying advertising that will interest you, making our website more interesting and achieving an unbiased calculation of advertising costs.
AdWords are delivered by Google’s Ad Server. For this purpose, we use Ad Server cookies, through which certain parameters can be applied for measuring success such as the overlaying of advertisements or the number of clicks by users. If you reach our website via a Google advertisement, Google AdWords will store a cookie on your computer. These cookies normally remain active for 30 days and are not used for personal identification. As a rule, the following are stored with the cookie: the unique user ID, the impression frequency per user, the last impression (relevant for post-view conversions) and opt-out information (notice that the user does not wish to receiver further advertising).
These cookies enable Google to recognize your browser when you revisit our website. Where a user visits certain pages on the website of an AdWords customer and if the cookie that is stored on the customer’s computer has not expired, Google and the customer can see that the user clicked on the advertisement and was transferred to such page. A different cookie is assigned to each AdWords customer. Cookies thus cannot be traced back to the user via the websites of AdWords customers. We ourselves do not collect and process personal data in AdWords. Google provides us with only the statistical analysis. These analyses indicate to us which AdWords are particularly effective. The use of AdWords does not provide us with any further information, in particular we cannot use this information to identify users.
Your browser connects to Google’s server automatically due to the marketing tools. We have no control over the scope or further use of data that Google collects using this tool and are thus informing you based on as much as we know: Through the embedding of AdWords conversion, Google is informed that you have accessed the relevant part of our website or that you have clicked on one of our advertisements. If you are registered for a Google service, Google will be able to associate your visit with your account. Even if you are not registered with Google or have not logged into your account, there is a possibility that Google will determine your IP address, store it and link it with other data.
There are different ways that you can prevent tracking:
a) by selecting the appropriate settings in your browser software, in particular, by blocking third-party cookies you can ensure that you do not receive any advertisements from third-party providers;
b) by deactivating the cookies for conversion tracking by configuring your browser to block cookies from the domain “www.googleadservices.com”, https://www.google.com/settings/ads; however, this setting will be deleted if you delete your cookies;
c) by deactivating interest-based advertising from providers who participate in the self-regulatory campaign “About Ads” via the link http://www.aboutads.info/choices; however, this setting will be deleted if you delete your cookies;
d) by permanently deactivating tracking in your Firefox, Internet Explorer or Google Chrome browsers using the following link http://www.google.com/settings/ads/plugin. We would like to point out that you may not in this case be able to use all of the functions of this website.
Art. 6(1)(f) of the GDPR provides the legal basis for processing your data. Our legitimate interest is derived from the above-mentioned purposes.
