Privacy Policy

Status: 11/2024

The protection of personal data is an important concern for us. Therefore, the processing of personal data is carried out in accordance with the applicable European and national legislation.

You can of course revoke your declaration(s) of consent at any time with effect for the future. To do so, please contact the controller.

The following statement provides an overview of what type of data is collected, how this data is used and passed on, what security measures we take to protect your data and how you can obtain information about the information provided to us.

Legal basis for the processing of personal data
Insofar as we obtain the consent of the data subject for the processing of personal data, Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a) EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) serves as the legal basis.
When processing personal data that is necessary for the fulfilment of a contract to which the data subject is a party, Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b) GDPR serves as the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations that are necessary for the performance of pre-contractual measures.
Insofar as the processing of personal data is necessary to fulfil a legal obligation to which we are subject, Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. c) GDPR serves as the legal basis.
If the processing is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest of our company or a third party and if the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not outweigh the first-mentioned interest, Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f) GDPR serves as the legal basis for the processing.

Data erasure and storage duration
The personal data of the data subject will be erased or blocked as soon as the purpose of storage no longer applies. Data may also be stored if this has been provided for by the European or national legislator in EU regulations, laws or other provisions to which we are subject. The data will also be blocked or erased if a storage period prescribed by the aforementioned standards expires, unless there is a need for further storage of the data for the conclusion or fulfilment of a contract.

Hosting

External hosting
This website is hosted by an external service provider (hoster). Personal data collected on this website is stored on the hoster's servers. This may include IP addresses, contact requests, meta and communication data, contract data, contact details, names, website accesses and other data generated via a website.

The hoster is used for the purpose of fulfilling the contract with our potential and existing customers (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b) GDPR) and in the interest of a secure, fast and efficient provision of our online offer by a professional provider (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR).

Our hoster will only process your data to the extent necessary to fulfil its performance obligations and follow our instructions with regard to this data.

Definitions of terms
The data protection declaration is based on the terms used by the European legislator for the adoption of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (hereinafter referred to as ‘GDPR’). The privacy policy should be easy to read and understand. To ensure this, the most important terms are explained below:

a) Personal data means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (hereinafter referred to as ‘data subject’). An identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person.
b) Data subject is any identified or identifiable natural person whose personal data is processed by the controller responsible for the processing.
c) Processing means any operation or set of operations which is performed upon personal data, whether or not by automatic means, such as collection, recording, organisation, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure or destruction.
d) Profiling means any form of automated processing of personal data consisting of the use of personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to analyse or predict aspects concerning that natural person's performance at work, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behaviour, location or movements.
e) Pseudonymisation is the processing of personal data in such a manner that the personal data can no longer be attributed to a specific data subject without the use of additional information, provided that such additional information is kept separately and is subject to technical and organisational measures to ensure that the personal data are not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.
f) Controller or controller responsible for the processing is the natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data. Where the purposes and means of such processing are determined by Union or Member State law, the controller or the specific criteria for its nomination may be provided for by Union or Member State law.
g) Processor is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which processes personal data on behalf of the controller.
h) Recipient is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or another body, to which the personal data are disclosed, whether a third party or not. However, public authorities which may receive personal data in the framework of a particular enquiry in accordance with Union or Member State law shall not be regarded as recipients.
i) Third party means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or body other than the data subject, controller, processor and persons who, under the direct authority of the controller or processor, are authorised to process personal data.
j) Consent is any freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous indication of the data subject's wishes by which he or she, by a statement or by a clear affirmative action, signifies agreement to the processing of personal data relating to him or her.

Provision of the website and creation of log files
When using the website for information purposes only, i.e. if you do not register or otherwise provide us with information, we automatically collect the following data and information from the computer system of the accessing computer each time the website is accessed:

a) Browser type and browser version
b) Operating system used
c) Referrer URL
d) Host name of the accessing computer
e) Time of the server enquiry
f) IP address

The data is also stored in the log files of our system. This data is not stored together with other personal data of the user.

The legal basis for the temporary storage of log files is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR.

The temporary storage of the IP address by the system is necessary in order to
a) enable delivery of the website to the user's computer. For this purpose, the user's IP address must remain stored for the duration of the session.
b) optimise the content of our website and the advertising for it
c) to ensure the functionality of our information technology systems and the technology of our website
d) to provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for prosecution in the event of a cyber attack

Data is stored in log files to ensure the functionality of the website. We also use the data to optimise the website and to ensure the security of our information technology systems. The data is not analysed for marketing purposes in this context.

These purposes also constitute our legitimate interest in data processing in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f) GDPR.

The data is deleted as soon as it is no longer required to fulfil the purpose for which it was collected - in this case at the end of the usage process
If the data is stored in log files, this is the case after seven days at the latest. Storage beyond this period is possible. In this case, the IP addresses are deleted or anonymised so that it is no longer possible to identify the accessing client.

The collection of data for the provision of the website and the storage of data in log files is absolutely necessary for the operation of the website, which is why there is no possibility of objection.

Use of cookies
This website uses so-called cookies. Cookies are small text files that are sent from a web server to your browser as soon as you visit a website and are stored locally on your end device (PC, notebook, tablet, smartphone, etc.) and stored on your computer and provide the user (i.e. us) with certain information. Cookies are used to make the website more customer-friendly and secure, in particular to collect usage-related information, such as frequency of use and number of users of the pages and behaviour patterns of page use. Cookies do not cause any damage to the computer and do not contain viruses. This cookie contains a characteristic character string (so-called cookie ID) that enables the browser to be uniquely identified when the website is called up again.

You can view the cookies used at any time via our cookie banner or via the following link:
https://www.jagdhaus-eiden.de/de/service-geschichte/datenschutz/?consent_edit=1

Cookies remain stored even if the browser session is ended and can be called up again when you visit the site again. However, cookies are stored on your computer and transmitted from it to our website. You therefore have full control over the use of cookies. If you do not wish data to be collected via cookies, you can set your browser via the menu under ‘Settings’ so that you are informed about the setting of cookies or generally exclude the setting of cookies or can also delete cookies individually. However, please note that deactivating cookies may limit the functionality of this website. As far as session cookies are concerned, these will be automatically deleted after leaving the website anyway.

Cookie consent technology
Our website uses the cookie consent technology of vioma GmbH to obtain your consent to the storage of certain cookies in your browser and to document this in compliance with data protection regulations. The provider of this technology is vioma GmbH (‘vioma’), Industriestrasse 27, 77656 Offenburg, Germany. When you enter our website, a vioma cookie is stored in your browser, in which the consent you have given or the revocation of this consent is stored. This data will not be passed on to us.

Revocation of your consent
The consent you have given in the cookie consent dialogue for the storage of certain cookies or the revocation of this consent can be revoked at any time with effect for the future. If you would like to change your selection in the cookie consent dialogue, please click here (note: the word ‘here’ must be linked individually for each customer, please give the order to the website team, IMPORTANT!!!). If you have clicked on the link, the cookie consent dialogue will appear again and you can change your selection. Alternatively, you can ask us to delete it or delete the vioma consent cookie yourself in your browser. From this point on, we will no longer process your data. The logging of your consent/non-consent is based on a legal obligation pursuant to § 76 BDSG, Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. c GDPR. Mandatory statutory retention periods remain unaffected.

Conclusion of a contract for order processing
In order to ensure data protection-compliant processing, we have concluded an order processing contract with vioma.

 

Newsletter
If you purchase goods or services from us and enter your e-mail address, we may subsequently use it to send you a newsletter. In such a case, only direct advertising for our own similar goods or services will be sent via the newsletter. The legal basis for sending the newsletter is Art. 7 para. 3 UWG.

This website uses vioma Newsletter to send newsletters. The provider is vioma GmbH, Industriestrasse 17, 77656 Offenburg (‘vioma’). Vioma Newsletter is a service that can be used to organise and analyse the sending of newsletters.

If you would like to receive the newsletter offered on the website, we require an e-mail address from you as well as information that allows us to verify that you are the owner of the e-mail address provided and that you agree to receive the newsletter. No further data is collected, or only on a voluntary basis. We use this data exclusively for sending the requested information and do not pass it on to third parties.

Our newsletters sent with vioma Newsletter enable us to analyse the behaviour of newsletter recipients. Among other things, we can analyse how many and which recipients have opened the newsletter message and how often and by whom which link in the newsletter was clicked. Conversion tracking can also be used to analyse whether a predefined action (e.g. booking a stay on this website) has taken place after clicking on the link in the newsletter.

The processing of the data entered in the newsletter registration form and the analysis of individual opening and click rates are carried out exclusively on the basis of your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR). You can revoke your consent to the storage of the data, the e-mail address and its use for sending the newsletter at any time, for example via the ‘unsubscribe’ link in the newsletter. The legality of the data processing operations that have already taken place remains unaffected by the cancellation.

If you do not wish to be analysed by vioma Newsletter, you must unsubscribe from the newsletter. For this purpose, we provide a corresponding link in every newsletter message.

The data you provide us with for the purpose of subscribing to the newsletter will be stored by us or the newsletter service provider until you unsubscribe from the newsletter and deleted from the newsletter distribution list after you unsubscribe from the newsletter. Data stored by us for other purposes remains unaffected by this.

After you unsubscribe from the newsletter distribution list, your e-mail address may be stored by us or the newsletter service provider in an exclusion list in order to prevent future mailings. The data from the exclusion list will only be used for this purpose and will not be merged with other data.

This serves both your interest and our interest in complying with the legal requirements when sending newsletters (legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR). Storage in the exclusion list is not limited in time. If you wish to have all data deleted, please contact info@hotel.de

Registration
You can register on our website in order to use additional functions on the site. We will only use the data you enter for the purpose of using the respective offer or service for which you have registered. The mandatory information requested during registration must be provided in full. Otherwise we will reject the registration.

In the event of important changes, for example to the scope of the offer or technically necessary changes, we will use the e-mail address provided during registration to inform you in this way.

The data entered during registration is processed on the basis of your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR). You can revoke your consent at any time. All you need to do is send us an informal email. The legality of the data processing that has already taken place remains unaffected by the cancellation.
The data collected during registration will be stored by us for as long as you are registered on our website and will then be deleted. Statutory retention periods remain unaffected.

E-Commerce
If you wish to place an order in our web shop, it is necessary for the conclusion of the contract that you provide your personal data, which we require for the processing of your order. Mandatory information required for the processing of contracts is marked separately, other information is voluntary. The data is entered into an input mask and transmitted to us and stored.

The following data is collected in the webshop:
- Salutation
- your name
- Address (different billing address if applicable)
- e-mail address
- Telephone number
- IP address
- Date and time of the order

The data will only be passed on to third parties if this is necessary for the purpose of processing the contract or for billing purposes or to collect the payment or if you have expressly consented to this. In this respect, we only pass on the data required in each case.

The data recipients are
- Debt collection companies, insofar as the payment must be collected (forwarding of name, address, order details)
- The bank to collect the payment, if the payment is made by direct debit
- Accounting department

The legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b) GDPR. With regard to the voluntary data, the legal basis for the processing of the data is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a) GDPR.

The mandatory data collected is required to fulfil the contract with the user (for the purpose of sending the goods and confirming the content of the contract). We therefore use the data to respond to your enquiries, to process your order, to check creditworthiness or collect a debt, if necessary, and for the purpose of technical administration of the websites. The voluntary information is provided to prevent misuse and, if necessary, to investigate criminal offences. We may also process the data you provide in order to inform you about other interesting products from our portfolio or to send you e-mails with technical information.

The data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer required to fulfil the purpose for which it was collected. Due to commercial and tax law requirements, we are obliged to store your address, payment and order data for a period of ten years after fulfilment of the contract. However, we restrict processing after two years, i.e. your data will only be used to fulfil legal obligations. If there is a continuing obligation between us and the user, we store the data for the entire term of the contract and for a period of ten years thereafter (see above). With regard to the data provided voluntarily, we will delete the data two years after the contract has been executed, provided that no further contract is concluded with the user during this time; in this case, the data will be deleted two years after the last contract has been executed. Statutory retention periods remain unaffected and take precedence.

If the data is required for the fulfilment of a contract or for the implementation of pre-contractual measures, premature deletion of the data is only possible insofar as contractual or legal obligations do not prevent deletion.

Otherwise, you are free to have the personal data provided during registration completely deleted from the controller's database. The controller will provide you with information about which personal data about you is stored at any time upon request. Furthermore, the controller shall correct or delete personal data at the request or notice of the data subject, provided that this does not conflict with any statutory retention obligations. You can write to the controller or the data protection officer in accordance with § 1 at any time by email or post and ask for the data to be deleted/changed.

Encrypted payment transactions on this website
If there is an obligation to provide us with your payment details (e.g. account number for direct debit authorisation) after the conclusion of a fee-based contract, this data is required for payment processing.
Payment transactions via the usual means of payment (Visa/MasterCard, direct debit) are made exclusively via an encrypted SSL or TLS connection. You can recognise an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from ‘http://’ to ‘https://’ and by the lock symbol in your browser line.
With encrypted communication, the payment data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

vioma BOOKING - Online bookings and booking enquiries
Our website uses the vioma BOOKING booking technology provided by vioma GmbH (‘vioma’), Industriestrasse 27, 77656 Offenburg, Germany.

If you make an online booking or a booking enquiry via our website, we need your email address, your travel dates, the product you have booked and your title, first name and surname for processing. In individual cases, we may also ask for your telephone number so that we can contact you quickly, particularly in the event of unforeseen circumstances that affect your booking.

To calculate the valid travel price, the dates of stay, the product selected, the number of people travelling and whether they are adults or children are required. If you are travelling with children, the age of the children will also be requested for the correct travel price calculation. We also ask for the desired means of payment for the trip. If prepayment is used for your travel parameters, you will be forwarded to a payment service provider for the secure processing of the prepayment after selecting the desired payment method. Further information in the form is provided on a voluntary basis.

The processing of your data for the online booking and the online booking request is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR and serves the fulfilment of a contract or the implementation of pre-contractual measures.

The data you transmit to us will remain with us until the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g. after your request has been processed). Mandatory statutory provisions - in particular statutory retention periods - remain unaffected.

Conclusion of a contract for order processing
We have concluded an order processing contract with vioma to ensure data protection-compliant processing.

VOUCHER - voucher purchase and voucher management
Our website uses the voucher software vioma VOUCHER, provided by vioma GmbH (‘vioma’), Industriestraße 27, 77656 Offenburg, Germany, for the sale, redemption and management of online vouchers.

If you purchase an online voucher via our website, we require your e-mail address, as well as the title, first name and surname of the voucher recipient in order to process your voucher purchase. We also ask for your preferred method of dispatch so that we can deliver the voucher in accordance with your wishes. If the voucher is sent by email, we will process the recipient's email address; if you have selected delivery by post, the recipient's postal address will be recorded for delivery by post.

The voucher management system also records the remaining value of the voucher, the redemptions already made and the current status (open, paid, redeemed, etc.).

The processing of your data for the online purchase of vouchers is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR and serves the fulfilment of a contract or the implementation of pre-contractual measures. The processing of your data in the voucher administration is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR and serves to fulfil the statutory retention obligations.

The data you transmit to us will remain with us until the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g. after your request has been processed). Mandatory statutory provisions - in particular statutory retention periods - remain unaffected.

Conclusion of a contract for order processing
In order to ensure data protection-compliant processing, we have concluded an order processing contract with vioma.

Data protection provisions about the application and use of E-Guma as a voucher system
On our website, you are given the opportunity to purchase vouchers.
We use the services of E-Guma, a limited liability company registered in the commercial and company register under Idea Creation GmbH, CHE-114.862.333, with headquarters at Walchestrasse 15, 8006 Zurich, Switzerland, as a gift card platform.
When you purchase a voucher from us, a connection to the E-Guma servers is established. The E-Guma server is informed which of our pages you have visited. When you purchase a gift voucher, your buyer data is recorded in accordance with the statutory provisions. It goes without saying that your data is also securely protected in this system in accordance with the strict legal requirements. Further information on the handling of user data can be found in E-Guma's privacy policy at: https://www.e-guma.ch/datenschutz

Use of the MYSPA Wellness Planner
We use the MYSPA Wellness Planner from the provider based on IT GmbH (Hammermühle (Entrance N)), Bernhard-May-Str. 58, 65203 Wiesbaden, Germany, as a reservation planner for our wellness centre.

MYSPA is web-based and can be accessed by authorised employees at any time via a browser. Your personal data will be used exclusively for reservation planning and will be deleted as soon as the fulfilment of the contract has ended.
The legal basis for the processing of your personal data is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR.

Further information can be found in the data protection information at https://www.based-on-it.de/start/kontakt/datenschutz.

Disclosure of personal data to third parties

Note on the transfer of data to third countries that are not secure under data protection law and the transfer to US companies that are DPF-certified
Among other things, we use tools from companies based in third countries that are not secure under data protection law and US tools whose providers are certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework (DPF).

If these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to these countries and processed there. We would like to point out that the USA, as a safe third country, generally has a level of data protection comparable to that of the EU. Data transfer to the USA is therefore permitted if the recipient is certified under the ‘EU-US Data Privacy Framework’ (DPF) or has suitable additional guarantees.

Through the adequacy decision of the European Commission (Art. 45 para. 3 GDPR), the EU-US Data Privacy Framework (https://www.dataprivacyframework.gov/list) and standard contractual clauses, the provider of these tools undertakes to comply with the European level of data protection in accordance with the GDPR when processing your personal data, even if the data is processed in the USA.

OpenStreetMap - map service
We use the OpenStreetMap (‘OSM’) map service. The provider is the Open-Street-Map Foundation (‘OSMF’), 132 Maney Hill Road, Sutton Coldfield, West Midlands, B72 1JU, United Kingdom.

In order to limit the processing of personal data through the use of the map service, we use OSM in the self-hosted version. Our website host vioma GmbH (‘vioma’), Industriestraße 27, 77656 Offenburg, Germany, hosts the map service on its own servers in Germany on our behalf.

If you use the OSM map on our website, your IP address will only be transmitted to vioma for the duration of your use of the service. No cookies are set on your end device and no data is stored, nor are comparable recognition technologies used.

The use of OpenStreetMap is in the interest of an appealing presentation of our online offers and an easy findability of the places indicated by us on the website. This constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.

Conclusion of a contract for order processing
In order to ensure data protection-compliant processing, we have concluded an order processing contract with our website host vioma.

Data protection provisions about the application and use of vioma TAO
This website uses the web analysis functions of the vioma TAO service. The provider of vioma TAO is vioma GmbH, Industriestr. 27, 77656 Offenburg, Germany.

Vioma TAO uses so-called ‘cookies’, which are small text files that are stored on your computer and make it possible to analyse user behaviour on the website. The information collected by the cookie about your use of this website is transferred to a vioma server in Germany and stored there.

The purpose of this component is to analyse visitor flows on the website. Among other things, vioma TAO uses the data obtained to analyse the use of the website, to create online reports showing the activities on the website and to offer further services in connection with the use of the website.

As part of this technical process, vioma also obtains access to personal data, such as the IP address of the data subject. This data helps vioma to trace the origin of visitors and their clicks. Among other things, the cookie stores personal information such as the access time, the location of the access and the frequency of visits to the website. With each visit, this personal data, including the IP address of the Internet connection used, is transmitted to vioma and stored there.

Vioma does not pass on this personal data collected through the technical process to third parties.

The storage of vioma TAO cookies and the use of this analysis tool is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in analysing user behaviour in order to optimise both the website and advertising. If consent has been requested (e.g. for the storage of cookies), the processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR; this consent can be revoked at any time.

The data will only be processed for as long as is necessary for the respective purpose. Insofar as statutory retention obligations exist (e.g. under commercial or tax law), the corresponding personal data will be stored for the duration of the retention obligation. After expiry of the retention obligation, a check is carried out to determine whether further processing is necessary. If this is not the case, the data will be deleted.

Of course, you can request information about the personal data stored by us at any time and, if it is no longer necessary, request the deletion of the data or the restriction of processing.

The storage of cookies by vioma TAO can be prevented at any time by a corresponding setting in the Internet browser. Such a setting would prevent vioma from placing a cookie on the data subject's system. In addition, a cookie that has already been set can be deleted at any time via the Internet browser or other software programmes.

For more information on the handling of user data at vioma, please refer to the corresponding data protection information at: https://www.vioma.de/de/company/datenschutzhinweise/

Data protection provisions about the application and use of Google Ads
The website operator uses Google Ads. Google Ads is an online advertising programme of Google Ireland Limited (‘Google’), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

Google Ads enables us to display adverts in the Google search engine or on third-party websites when the user enters certain search terms into Google (keyword targeting). Furthermore, targeted adverts can be displayed based on the user data available at Google (e.g. location data and interests) (target group targeting). As the website operator, we can evaluate this data quantitatively by analysing, for example, which search terms led to the display of our advertisements and how many advertisements led to corresponding clicks.

The use of this service is based on your consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR and § 25 para. 1 TTDSG. Consent can be revoked at any time. 

Data transfer to the USA is based on the standard contractual clauses of the EU Commission. Details can be found here: https://policies.google.com/privacy/frameworks and https://privacy.google.com/businesses/controllerterms/mccs/.

Data protection provisions about the application and use of Google Tag Manager
We use the Google Tag Manager.
The provider is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.
Google Tag Manager is a tool that enables us to integrate tracking or statistical tools and other technologies on our website. Google Tag Manager itself does not create any user profiles, does not store any cookies and does not carry out any independent analyses. It is only used to manage and display the tools integrated via it. However, Google Tag Manager records your IP address, which may also be transmitted to Google's parent company in the United States.
The Google Tag Manager is used on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the fast and uncomplicated integration and management of various tools on its website. If a corresponding consent has been requested, the processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR; the consent can be revoked at any time.

Data protection provisions about the application and use of web analytics by Google Analytics 4
This website uses Google Analytics 4, a web analysis service of Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland (‘Google’), which enables your use of our website to be analysed.

By default, Google Analytics sets 4 cookies when you visit the website, which are stored as small text modules on your end device and collect certain information. The scope of this information also includes your IP address, which, however, is shortened by Google by the last digits in order to exclude a direct personal reference.

The information is transferred to Google servers and processed there. Transmission to Google LLC, based in the USA, is also possible.
Google uses the information collected on our behalf to analyse your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity for us and to provide other services relating to website activity and internet usage. The abbreviated IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data. The data collected as part of the use of Google Analytics 4 is stored for a period of two months and then deleted.

All processing described above, in particular the setting of cookies on the terminal device used, will only take place if you have given us your express consent to do so in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR.

Without your consent, Google Analytics 4 will not be used during your visit to our website. You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future. To exercise your right of cancellation, please deactivate this service via the ‘Cookie Consent Tool’ provided on the website.

We have concluded an order processing contract with Google that ensures the protection of our website visitors' data and prohibits unauthorised disclosure to third parties.

Further legal information on Google Analytics 4 can be found at https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de&gl=de and at https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites

Demographic characteristics
Google Analytics 4 uses the special function ‘demographic characteristics’ and can use it to create statistics that make statements about the age, gender and interests of site visitors. This is done by analysing advertising and information from third-party providers. This allows target groups to be identified for marketing activities. However, the data collected cannot be assigned to a specific person and is deleted after being stored for a period of two months.

Google Signals
As an extension to Google Analytics 4, Google Signals can be used on this website to generate cross-device reports. If you have activated personalised ads and have linked your devices to your Google account, Google can analyse your usage behaviour across devices and create database models, including for cross-device conversions, subject to your consent to the use of Google Analytics in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. We do not receive any personal data from Google, only statistics. If you wish to stop the cross-device analysis, you can deactivate the ‘Personalised advertising’ function in the settings of your Google account.

Follow the instructions on this page:
https://support.google.com/ads/answer/2662922?hl=de

Further information on Google Signals can be found at the following link:
https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/7532985?hl=de

UserIDs
As an extension to Google Analytics 4, the ‘UserIDs’ function can be used on this website. If you have consented to the use of Google Analytics 4 in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR, have set up an account on this website and log in with this account on different devices, your activities, including conversions, can be analysed across devices.
For data transfers to the USA, the provider has joined the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, which ensures compliance with the European level of data protection on the basis of an adequacy decision by the European Commission.

Privacy policy on the use and application of the META pixel (formerly Facebook Pixel)
This website uses the Facebook/Meta visitor action pixel to measure conversions. The provider of this service is Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Dublin 2, Ireland.

According to Facebook, the data collected is also transferred to the USA and other third countries. This allows the behaviour of site visitors to be tracked after they have been redirected to the provider's website by clicking on a Facebook ad. This allows the effectiveness of Facebook ads to be evaluated for statistical and market research purposes and future advertising measures to be optimised.

The data collected is anonymous for us as the operator of this website; we cannot draw any conclusions about the identity of the users. However, the data is stored and processed by Facebook so that a connection to the respective user profile is possible and Facebook can use the data for its own advertising purposes in accordance with the Facebook Data Usage Policy (https://de-de.facebook.com/about/privacy/). This enables Facebook to place adverts on Facebook pages and outside of Facebook. This use of the data cannot be influenced by us as the website operator.

The use of this service is based on your consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR and § 25 para. 1 TDDDG. Consent can be revoked at any time.

We use the advanced matching function within the meta pixel.

Advanced matching enables us to transmit various types of data (such as your place of residence, postcode, hashed email addresses, name, gender, date of birth or telephone number) of our customers and prospects that we collect via our website to Meta (Facebook). This activation enables us to tailor our advertising campaigns on Facebook even more precisely to people who are interested in our offers. In addition, the extended synchronisation improves the allocation of website conversions and expands custom audiences.

Insofar as personal data is collected on our website with the help of the tool described here and forwarded to Facebook, we and Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland are jointly responsible for this data processing (Art. 26 GDPR). The joint responsibility is limited exclusively to the collection of the data and its transfer to Facebook. The processing carried out by Facebook after forwarding is not part of the joint responsibility. The obligations incumbent on us jointly have been set out in an agreement on joint processing.

You can find the wording of the agreement at: https://www.facebook.com/legal/controller_addendum.

According to this agreement, we are responsible for providing data protection information when using the Facebook tool and for the secure implementation of the tool on our website in accordance with data protection law. Facebook is responsible for the data security of Facebook products. You can assert data subject rights (e.g. requests for information) regarding the data processed by Facebook directly with Facebook. If you assert your data subject rights with us, we are obliged to forward them to Facebook.

The data transfer to the USA is based on the standard contractual clauses of the EU Commission. Details can be found here: https://www.facebook.com/legal/EU_data_transfer_addendum and https://de-de.facebook.com/help/566994660333381.

You can find further information on protecting your privacy in Facebook's privacy policy: https://de-de.facebook.com/about/privacy/.

You can also deactivate the remarketing function ‘Custom Audiences’ in the settings for adverts at https://www.facebook.com/ads/preferences/?entry_product=ad_settings_screen. You must be logged in to Facebook to do this.

If you do not have a Facebook account, you can deactivate usage-based advertising from Facebook on the website of the European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance: http://www.youronlinechoices.com/de/praferenzmanagement/.

Data transmission upon conclusion of a contract for services and digital content
We only transfer personal data to third parties if this is necessary in the context of contract processing, for example to the credit institution responsible for processing payments.

Any further transmission of data will not take place or will only take place if you have expressly consented to the transmission. Your data will not be passed on to third parties without your express consent, for example for advertising purposes.

The basis for data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b) GDPR, which permits the processing of data for the fulfilment of a contract or pre-contractual measures.

Links to external websites
This website contains links to external sites. We are responsible for our own content. We have no influence over the content of external links and are therefore not responsible for it; in particular, we do not adopt their content as our own. If you are directed to an external site, the data protection declaration provided there applies. If you notice any illegal activities or content on this site, you are welcome to notify us. In this case, we will check the content and respond accordingly (notice and take down procedure).

Contact form and e-mail contact
There is a contact form on our website which can be used to contact us electronically. If you use this option, the data entered in the input mask will be transmitted to us and stored.

These data are
- Salutation
- title
- First name, surname
- Telephone number
- Message
- e-mail address

The following data is also stored at the time the message is sent:
- IP address of the user
- Date and time of registration

Your consent is obtained for the processing of the data during the sending process and reference is made to this privacy policy.
Alternatively, you can contact us via the email address provided. In this case, the personal data transmitted with the e-mail will be stored.
If this involves information on communication channels (e.g. e-mail address, telephone number), you also consent to us contacting you via this communication channel in order to respond to your enquiry.
No data will be passed on to third parties in this context. The data will only be used to process the conversation.

The legal basis for the processing of the data is Art. 6 Para. 1 S. lit. a) GDPR if the user has given consent. The legal basis for the processing of data transmitted in the course of sending an e-mail is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f) GDPR. If the e-mail contact is aimed at the conclusion of a contract, the additional legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b) GDPR.

The processing of the personal data from the input mask serves us solely to process the contact. We will, of course, only use the data from your email enquiry for the purpose for which you provide it to us when contacting us. If you contact us by e-mail, we also have the necessary legitimate interest in processing the data in order to respond to your enquiry. The other personal data processed during the sending process is used to prevent misuse of the contact form and to ensure the security of our information technology systems.

The data is deleted as soon as it is no longer required to fulfil the purpose for which it was collected. For the personal data from the input screen of the contact form and those sent by email, this is the case when the respective conversation with the user has ended. The conversation is ended when it can be inferred from the circumstances that the matter in question has been conclusively clarified. The additional personal data collected during the sending process will be deleted after a period of seven days at the latest.

You have the option to revoke your consent to the processing of personal data at any time. If you contact us by e-mail, you can object to the storage of your personal data at any time. In such a case, the conversation cannot be continued. With regard to the revocation of consent/objection to storage, we ask you to contact the person responsible or the data protection officer in accordance with § 1 by e-mail or post. All personal data stored in the course of making contact will be deleted in this case.

This data is processed on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b) GDPR if your enquiry is related to the fulfilment of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR) and/or on our legitimate interests (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR), as we have a legitimate interest in the effective processing of the enquiries addressed to us.

The data you send to us via contact requests will remain with us until you ask us to delete it, revoke your consent to storage or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g. after your request has been processed). Mandatory statutory provisions - in particular statutory retention periods - remain unaffected.

Job applications with us
We offer you the opportunity to apply to us in various ways - whether by e-mail, post or via our online application form. In the following, we would like to inform you which personal data is collected as part of the application process, for what purpose it is used and how it is processed. We guarantee that your data will be handled in compliance with the applicable data protection regulations and all relevant legal provisions and treated confidentially.

If you send us an application, your personal data (such as contact and communication information, application documents, notes from job interviews, etc.) will be processed insofar as this is necessary for decision-making regarding the establishment of an employment relationship. The legal basis for this is § 26 BDSG-new (initiation of an employment relationship), Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b) GDPR (contract preparation) and, if you have given your consent, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR. This consent can be revoked at any time. Your data will only be passed on to those persons within our company who are involved in processing your application.

In the event of a successful application, your data will be stored on the basis of § 26 BDSG-new and Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b) GDPR in order to properly implement the employment relationship.

If we are unable to make you a job offer, you reject an offer, withdraw your application or revoke your consent to data processing or request us to delete your data, your submitted data (including any remaining physical application documents) will be stored for a maximum of 6 months after completion of the application process. This serves the purpose of making the application process traceable in the event of discrepancies (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR). You can object to this storage if you have a legitimate interest that outweighs our interests.

After the retention period has expired, your data will be deleted unless there is a statutory retention obligation or another legal reason for longer storage. If it becomes apparent that your data must be stored for a longer period of time after expiry of the retention period (e.g. in the event of an impending or ongoing legal dispute), it will only be deleted when it is no longer relevant. Further statutory retention obligations remain unaffected by this.

Application via online application form
An online application form is available on our website, which we use for applications. If you use this option, the data you enter will be transmitted to us and stored:

- First name, surname
- e-mail address
- Place of work
- telephone number
- IP address of the user
- Date and time of sending

In addition, your CV, your professional experience, your education, text fields for individual details and optionally your website are recorded.
In this context, we work together with our service provider SmartRecruiters, Inc (225 Bush Street, Suite No. 300, San Francisco CA 94104, USA). Your data is transmitted to SmartRecruiters, where it is stored and processed. You can find more information on this in SmartRecruiters' privacy policy at https://www.smartrecruiters.com/legal/general-privacy-policy/.

The legal basis for the processing of the data is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. Your data will only be used to process your application and for any further communication. After the retention period has expired, the data will be deleted unless there is a statutory retention obligation or another legal reason for longer storage. If it is necessary to retain the data for longer due to an impending or ongoing legal dispute, it will only be deleted when it is no longer relevant. Further statutory retention obligations remain unaffected.

SSL encryption

This site uses SSL encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as the inquiries you send to us as the site operator. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock symbol in your browser line. If SSL encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

Rights of the data subject

If your personal data is processed, you are a data subject within the meaning of the GDPR and you have the following rights vis-à-vis the controller:

Right to information
You can request confirmation from the controller as to whether personal data concerning you is being processed by us. If such processing is taking place, you can request information free of charge from the controller at any time about the personal data stored about you and about the following information:

(a) the purposes for which the personal data are processed;
b) the categories of personal data being processed
c) the recipients or categories of recipients to whom the personal data concerning you have been or will be disclosed
d) the envisaged period for which the personal data concerning you will be stored, or, if specific information on this is not possible, the criteria used to determine that period
e) the existence of a right to rectification or erasure of personal data concerning you, a right to restriction of processing by the controller or a right to object to such processing
f) the existence of a right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority
g) all available information about the origin of the data if the personal data is not collected from the data subject
h) the existence of automated decision-making including profiling in accordance with Art. 22 (1) and (4) GDPR and - at least in these cases - meaningful information on the logic involved and the scope and intended effects of such processing for the data subject.

You have the right to request information as to whether the personal data concerning you is transferred to a third country or to an international organization. In this context, you may request to be informed of the appropriate safeguards pursuant to Art. 46 GDPR in connection with the transfer.

Right to rectification
You have the right to obtain from the controller without undue delay the rectification and/or completion of inaccurate or incomplete personal data concerning you.

Right to restriction of processing
Under the following conditions, you have the right to obtain from the controller restriction of processing of personal data concerning you without undue delay:

a) if you contest the accuracy of the personal data concerning you for a period enabling the controller to verify the accuracy of the personal data
b) the processing is unlawful and you oppose the erasure of the personal data and request the restriction of their use instead
c) the controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of the processing, but they are required by you for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims; or
d) if you have objected to the processing pursuant to Art. 21 para. 1 GDPR and it is not yet certain whether the legitimate reasons of the controller outweigh your reasons.

If the processing of personal data concerning you has been restricted, this data - apart from its storage - may only be processed with your consent or for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interest of the Union or of a Member State. If the restriction of processing has been restricted in accordance with the above conditions, you will be informed by the controller before the restriction is lifted.

Right to erasure
You have the right to obtain from the controller the erasure of personal data concerning you without undue delay where one of the following grounds applies

a) The personal data concerning you are no longer necessary in relation to the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed.
b) You revoke your consent on which the processing was based pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) or Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a) GDPR and there is no other legal basis for the processing.
c) You object to the processing pursuant to Art. 21 (1) GDPR and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing, or you object to the processing pursuant to Art. 21 (2) GDPR.
d) The personal data concerning you has been processed unlawfully.
e) The deletion of personal data concerning you is necessary to fulfill a legal obligation under Union law or the law of the Member States to which the controller is subject.
f) The personal data concerning you have been collected in relation to the offer of information society services referred to in Article 8(1) GDPR.

Where the controller has made the personal data concerning you public and is obliged pursuant to Art. 17 (1) GDPR to erase the personal data, the controller, taking account of available technology and the cost of implementation, shall take reasonable steps, including technical measures, to inform controllers which are processing the personal data that you as the data subject have requested the erasure by such controllers of any links to, or copy or replication of, those personal data.

The right to erasure does not apply if the processing is necessary

a) for exercising the right of freedom of expression and information;
b) for compliance with a legal obligation which requires processing by Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject or for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller;
c) for reasons of public interest in the area of public health pursuant to Art. 9 para. 2 lit. h) and i) and Art. 9 para. 3 GDPR;
d) for archiving purposes in the public interest, scientific or historical research purposes or statistical purposes in accordance with Art. 89 para. 1 GDPR, insofar as the right referred to in section a) is likely to render impossible or seriously impair the achievement of the objectives of that processing, or
e) for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims.

Right to information
If you have asserted the right to rectification, erasure or restriction of processing against the controller, the controller is obliged to notify all recipients to whom the personal data concerning you have been disclosed of this rectification/erasure/restriction of processing, unless this proves impossible or involves a disproportionate effort. You have the right vis-à-vis the controller to be informed about these recipients.

Right to data portability
You have the right to receive the personal data concerning you, which you have provided to the controller, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. You also have the right to transmit this data to another controller without hindrance from the controller to which the personal data has been provided, where

a) the processing is based on consent pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR or Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a) GDPR or on a contract pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b) GDPR and
b) the processing is carried out by automated means.

In exercising this right, you also have the right to obtain that the personal data concerning you be transferred directly from one controller to another controller, insofar as this is technically feasible. The freedoms and rights of other persons must not be affected by this.

The right to data portability does not apply to the processing of personal data necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller.

To assert the right to data portability, the data subject may contact the controller at any time.

Right to object
You have the right to object, on grounds relating to your particular situation, at any time to processing of personal data concerning you which is based on point (e) or (f) of Article 6(1) GDPR, including profiling based on those provisions.

The controller will no longer process the personal data concerning you unless the controller demonstrates compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms or for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims.

If your personal data is processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of your personal data for such marketing, which includes profiling to the extent that it is related to such direct marketing. If you object to processing for direct marketing purposes, the personal data concerning you will no longer be processed for these purposes.

You have the possibility to exercise your right to object in relation to the use of information society services - notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC - by means of automated procedures using technical specifications.

To exercise the right to object, the data subject may contact the controller directly.

Right to withdraw the declaration of consent under data protection law
You have the right to withdraw your declaration of consent under data protection law at any time. The withdrawal of consent shall not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal. You can contact the controller for this purpose.

Automated decision-making in individual cases, including profiling
You have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affects you. This does not apply if the decision

a) is necessary for the conclusion or performance of a contract between you and the controller
b) is authorized by Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject and which also lays down suitable measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms and legitimate interests; or
c) is made with your express consent.

However, these decisions may not be based on special categories of personal data pursuant to Art. 9 para. 1 GDPR, unless Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a) or g) GDPR applies and appropriate measures have been taken to protect the rights and freedoms as well as your legitimate interests.

With regard to the cases referred to in (1) and (3), the data controller shall implement suitable measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, at least the right to obtain human intervention on the part of the controller, to express your point of view and to contest the decision.

If the data subject wishes to assert rights relating to automated decisions, they can contact the controller at any time.

Right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority
Without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of your habitual residence, place of work or place of the alleged infringement if you consider that the processing of personal data relating to you infringes the GDPR. The supervisory authority with which the complaint has been lodged shall inform the complainant on the progress and the outcome of the complaint including the possibility of a judicial remedy pursuant to Art. 78 GDPR.

Changes to the privacy policy
We reserve the right to change our privacy practices and this policy to reflect changes in relevant laws or regulations or to better meet your needs. Possible changes to our data protection practices will be announced here accordingly. Please note the current version date of the privacy policy.
