• Your personal data may be shared with other third parties (e.g.: US authorities) by the respective service provider.
• You may not be able to sustainably assert or enforce your rights of access against the respective service provider.

7       Facebook Pixel

Our website uses Facebook pixels (“Pixel”) of the social network Facebook (Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland) for the analysis, optimisation and economic operation of our online offer.

Facebook can use the pixels to determine the website visitors as a target group for the display of advertisements (so-called “Facebook ads”). Accordingly, we use them to display the Facebook ads placed by us only to those Facebook users who have also shown interest in our online offer or who have certain characteristics (e.g., interests in certain topics or products determined based on the websites visited) that we transmit to Facebook (so-called “Custom Audiences”). The aim is to ensure that our Facebook ads correspond to user interest and do not have a harassing effect. On the other hand, we can use pixels to track the effectiveness of Facebook ads for statistical and market research purposes by seeing whether users were redirected to our website after clicking on a Facebook ad (so-called “conversion”).

Your actions are stored in one or more cookies. These cookies allow Facebook to match your user data (such as IP address, user ID) with your Facebook account data. The data that is collected is anonymous and not visible to us and can only be used in the context of advertisements. If you would like to prevent the linking with your Facebook account, you have the option to log out before taking any action.

We have entered into a contract with Facebook Ireland, nevertheless it may happen that Facebook Ireland transfers personal data to Facebook USA.

Legal basis: Art 6 para 1 lit a GDPR

8.1        Google Analytics

This website uses the function “Activation of IP anonymization” (i.e. Google Analytics has been extended by the code “gat._anonymize Ip();” to ensure anonymized collection of IP addresses (so-called IP masking)). This means that your IP address is shortened beforehand by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there.

According to Google, Google will use the information obtained to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide us with other services related to website and internet use. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data. Google may, however, transfer this information to third parties where required to do so by law, or where such third parties process the information on Google’s behalf. You can prevent the storage of cookies by setting your browser software accordingly. However, we would like to point out that in this case you may not be able to use all the functions of the website to their full extent. Furthermore, you can prevent the collection of the data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the websites (including your anonymized IP address) by Google as well as the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available under the following link (https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en).

For more information on the terms of use and data protection, please visit https://marketingplatform.google.com/about/analytics/terms/us/ or https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245?hl=en.

8.2        Google Analytics Conversion Tracking (Google Ads)

This website also uses Google Conversion Tracking. Google Ads sets a cookie on your computer if you have accessed our website via a Google advertisement. These cookies lose their validity after 30 days and are not used for personal identification. If the user visits certain pages of the Ads client’s website and the cookie has not yet expired, Google and the client can recognize that the user clicked on the ad and was redirected to that page. Each Ads client receives a different cookie. Cookies can therefore not be tracked across Ads clients’ websites. The information obtained using the conversion cookie is used to create conversion statistics for Ads clients who have opted into conversion tracking. Ads clients learn the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a page tagged with a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not receive any information that personally identifies users. If you do not wish to participate in the tracking procedure, you can also refuse the setting of a cookie required for this – for example, via a browser setting that generally deactivates the automatic setting of cookies. You can also deactivate cookies for conversion tracking by setting your browser so that cookies from the domain “www.googleadservices.com” are blocked. Google’s privacy policy can be found here.

When you use SSL search, Google’s encrypted search feature, the search terms are usually not sent as part of the URL in the referring URL. However, there are some exceptions to this, for example if you are using certain fewer common browsers. For more information on SSL search, click here. Search queries or information in the referral URL could also be viewed through Google Analytics or an application programming interface (API). In addition, advertisers may receive information about the exact search terms that triggered a click on an ad. https://policies.google.com/faq?hl=en

8.3        Google Doubleclick

The website uses the online marketing tool DoubleClick. To help AdWords customers and publishers serve and manage ads on the web, the Google advertising network and certain Google services may be used. DoubleClick uses cookies to serve ads that are relevant to users, to improve campaign performance reports, or to prevent a user from seeing the same ads more than once. Google uses a cookie ID to record which ads are shown in which browser and can thus prevent them from being shown more than once. In addition, DoubleClick can use cookie IDs to record so-called conversions that are related to ad requests. This is the case, for example, when a user sees a DoubleClick ad and later calls up the advertiser’s website with the same browser and buys something there. According to Google, DoubleClick cookies do not contain any personal information. Due to the marketing tools used, your browser automatically establishes a direct connection with Google’s server. We have no influence on the scope and further use of the data collected by Google using this tool and therefore inform you according to our state of knowledge: Through the integration of DoubleClick, Google receives the information that you have called up the corresponding part of our website or clicked on an advertisement from us. If you are registered with a Google service, Google can assign the visit to your account. Even if you are not registered with Google or have not logged in, it is possible that the provider may obtain and store your IP address.

8.4        Google Fonts

We use Google Fonts. To ensure a uniform and appealing display of the fonts and icons, your browser loads the required fonts into your browser cache. To do this, it is necessary for the browser you are using to contact the Google Fonts servers, which results in Google Fonts becoming aware that our website has been accessed via your IP address.

You can find out what data is collected by Google and what it is used for at https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en

8.5        Google Gstatic

Gstatic is a domain used by Google to load static content into another domain name to reduce bandwidth usage and increase network performance for the end user.

8.6        Google reCaptcha

We use Google’s reCaptcha service to determine whether a human or computer is making a particular entry in our contact or newsletter form. Google uses the following data to check whether you are a human or a computer: IP address of the terminal device used, the website you visit with us on which the captcha is embedded, the date and duration of the visit, the recognition data of the browser and operating system type used, Google account if you are logged in to Google, mouse movements on the reCaptcha areas and tasks that require you to identify images.

9        LindkedIn Insights

Our website uses functions of the social media network LinkedIn. The provider is LinkedIn Corporation, 1000 Weste Maude Avenue Sunnyvale, CA 94085 USA.

With this service, a transfer of personal data to the USA cannot be excluded! – For more details, see section 4.3 of this privacy policy.

The LinkedIn Insight tag enables the collection of data on visits to our website, including URL, referrer URL, IP address, device and browser properties, timestamps and page views. This data is encrypted, anonymized within seven days and the anonymized data is deleted within 90 days. LinkedIn does not share any personal data with us, but only provides aggregate reports on website audience and ad performance. LinkedIn also provides retargeting for website visitors, so we can use this data to display targeted ads outside of our website without identifying the member. LinkedIn members can control the use of their personal data for advertising purposes in their account settings. You can find LinkedIn’s privacy policy here: https://www.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy

This includes the internet protocol address (IP address) of the requesting computer (including mobile devices), browser and language setting, operating system, referrer URL, your internet service provider and date/time.

This data is not merged with personal data sources. We reserve the right to check this data retrospectively if we become aware of specific indications of unlawful use and to pass on the data to the law enforcement authorities if there has been a hacking attack. The data will not be passed on to third parties beyond this.

Legal basis: Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR

11       YouTube

We operate a YouTube channel and have integrated YouTube videos into our website, which are stored on http://www.YouTube.com. When you watch one of our YouTube videos, a connection to YouTube servers is established. This tells YouTube which pages you are visiting. The operating company of YouTube is YouTube, LLC, 901 Cherry Ave, San Bruno, CA 94066, USA. YouTube, LLC is a subsidiary of Google Inc, 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA.

The use of this service results in the transfer of personal data to the USA, or such a transfer cannot be excluded! – For more details, see section 4.3 of this privacy policy.
