Google will use this information on our behalf to evaluate the use of our online offer by users, to compile reports on the activities within this online offer and to provide us with further services related to the use of this online offer and the internet usage. In this case, the user’s pseudonymous usage profiles can be created from the processed data.
We use Google Analytics to display advertisements within Google and its affiliate advertising services, only those users who have shown an interest in our online offering or who have certain characteristics (e.g. interests in specific topics or products of visited websites), which we transmit to Google (so-called “Remarketing” resp. “Google-Analytics-Audiences”). With the help of Remarketing Audiences, we would like to ensure that our ads are in line with the user’s potential interest and are not annoying.
We use Google Analytics to collect demographic data of the website users. These are age, gender and regional details of the users location. Users can prevent the storage of cookies by setting their browser software accordingly; users may also prevent the collection by Google of the data generated by the cookie and related to their use of the online offer and the processing of such data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plugin available under the following link: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de.
We only use Google Analytics with activated IP anonymization. This means that the users’ IP address will be shortened by Google within the 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 sent to a Google server in the US and shortened there.
The IP address submitted by the user’s browser will not be merged with other data provided by Google.

Google-Marketing-Services
On the basis of our legitimate interests (e.g. interest in the analysis, optimization and economic operation of our online offer in accordance with article 6 clause 1, littera f General Data Protection Regulations (DSGVO) we use the marketing and remarketing services (“Google Marketing Services”) of the Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Irland, (“Google”).
Google is certified under the Privacy Shield Agreement, which provides a guarantee to comply with European data protection law (https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt000000001L5AAI&status=Active)
The Google marketing services allow us to display advertisements more aimed for and on our website, to present users only ads that are potentially in their interests. If ads for products are displayed to the user, which he’s been interested in on other websites, then this is referred to as “Remarketing”. For these purposes, when our and our other websites that use Google Marketing Services are activated, Google will immediately execute a Google code and so called remarketing tags are integrated in the website (invisible graphics or code, also known as “web beacons”. With their help, the user is provided with an individual cookie, this means a small file is stored (instead of cookies, comparable technologies can also be used). The cookies can be set by different domains, including google.com, doubleclick.net, invitemedia.com, admeld.com, googlesyndication.com or googleadservices.com. In this file it is noted which websites the user visited, what content he is interested in and what offers he has clicked, as well as technical information concerning the browser and operating system, referring websites, visit duration and other information regarding the use of the online offer. The IP address of the users is also recorded, whereby in the context of Google Analytics we announce that the IP address is shortened within the member states of the European Union or other parties to the Agreement on the European Economic Area and only in exceptional cases transmitted to the Google server in the US and shortened there. The IP address will not be merged with data of the user within other Google offers . The above mentioned information may also be linked by Google with such information from other sources. If the user then visits other websites, advertisement can be displayed adjusted to his interests.
The users’ data are processed pseudonym in the context of the Google Marketing Services. This means Google stores and processes e.g. not the name or e-mail address of the users, but processes the cookie-related relevant data within pseudonymous user profiles. That means from Google’s perspective, the ads are not managed and displayed to a specifically identified person, but to the cookie owner, regardless of who that cookie owner is. This does not apply if a user has explicitly consented Google to process the data without this pseudonymization. The information collected about users through Google Marketing Services is transmitted to Google and stored on Google’s servers in the USA.
Among the Google Marketing Services we also use the online advertising program “Google AdWords”. In the case of Google AdWords, each AdWords customer receives a different “conversion cookie”. Cookies can not be tracked through the websites of AdWords customers. The information collected through the cookie is used to generate conversion statistics for AdWords customers who have opted for conversion tracking. AdWords customers will see the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a conversion tracking tag page. However, they do not receive information that personally identifies the users.
We can also use the service “Google Optimizer”. Within the context of so called “A / B-Testings” the Google Optimizer allows us to understand the affect of various changes to a website (e.g. changes in the input fields, the design, etc.). For these test purposes, cookies are stored on the user’s devices. However, only pseudonym user data is processed.
Furthermore, we may use the “Google Tag Manager” to integrate and manage the Google Analytics and Marketing Services on our website.
For more information about Google’s data usage for marketing purposes, see the overview site: https://www.google.com/policies/technologies/ads. For Google’s data protection declaration see https://www.google.com/policies/privacy .
If you wish to opt-out of interest-based advertising through Google Marketing Services, you can use Google’s recruitment and opt-out options: http://www.google.com/ads/preferences.
Based on our legitimate interests (e.g. interest in the analysis, optimization and economic operation of our online offer within the meaning of article 6 clause 1, littera f General Data Protection Regulations DSGVO) we use social plugins (“plugins”) of the social network facebook.com, which is operated by the Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbor, Dublin 2, Ireland (“Facebook”). The plugins can feature interaction elements or content (e.g. videos, graphics or text contributions) and can be recognized by one of the Facebook logos (white “f” on blue tile, the terms “Like” (“Gefällt mir”) or a “thumbs up” sign) or are marked with the addition “Facebook Social Plugin”. The list and appearance of the Facebook Social Plugins can be viewed here: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/.
When a user retrieves a feature of this online offering that includes such a plugin, their device establishes a direct connection to the Facebook servers. The content of the plugin is transmitted by Facebook directly to the device of the user and incorporated by such to the online offer. Here, user profiles can be created from the processed data. We therefore have no influence on the amount of data that Facebook collects with the help of this plugin and hereby inform the users accordingly of our knowledge.
By integrating the plugins, Facebook receives the information that a user has accessed the corresponding site of the online offer. If the user is logged into Facebook, Facebook can assign the visit to his Facebook account. If users interact with the plugins, for example, press the Like button or leave a comment, the information is transmitted from your device directly to Facebook and stored there. If a user is not a member of Facebook, there is still the possibility that Facebook will receive this information and store their IP address. According to Facebook, only an anonymous IP address is stored in Germany.
The purpose and scope of the data collection and the further processing and use of the data by Facebook as well as the related rights and setting options for protecting the users’ privacy, can be found in the data protection declaration of Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/.
Due to our legitimate interests in the analysis, optimization and economic operation of our online offer, we use within our online offer so called “Facebook Pixel” of the social network Facebook, operated by the Facebook Inc., 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA or if you are located in the EU, Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbor, Dublin 2, Ireland (“Facebook”).
With the help of the Facebook Pixels, it is for one possible for Facebook to determine the visitors of our online offer as a target group for the presentation of ads (so called “Facebook-Ads”). Accordingly, we use the Facebook Pixel to display the Facebook Ads only to those Facebook users who have shown an interest in our online offer or who have certain features (e.g. interests in certain topics or products which are determined by accessing certain websites), which we transfer to Facebook (so called “Custom Audiences”). With the help of the Facebook Pixels, we also want to ensure our Facebook ads are in line with the potential interest of users and are not annoying. With the help of the Facebook Pixels we can also understand the effectiveness of the Facebook advertisements for statistical and market research purposes, in which we see if users were redirected to our website after clicking on a Facebook ad (so called “Conversion”).
The Facebook Pixel is integrated when accessing our website directly through Facebook and can store a so-called cookie on your device, this means a small file. If you subsequently log in to Facebook or visit Facebook while logged on, your access to our online offer will be noted in your profile. You personal data collected are anonymous to us an do not provide us 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 can be used by Facebook as well as for its own marketing research and advertising purposes. If we should send data to Facebook for comparison purposes, it will be encrypted locally in the browser and then sent to Facebook via a secure https connection. This is done solely with the purpose of establishing a comparison with the data equally encrypted by Facebook.
Furthermore, when using the Facebook pixel we use the additional function “extended comparison” (data such as telephone numbers, e-mail addresses or the users’ Facebook ID) for the formation of target audiences (“Custom Audiences” or “Look Alike Audiences”) and transmitted (encrypted) to Facebook. Further notices to “extended comparison”: https://www.facebook.com/business/help/611774685654668).
Based on our legitimate interests, we also use the “Custom Audiences from File” method of the social network Facebook, Inc. In this case, the e-mail addresses of the newsletter recipients are uploaded to Facebook. The upload process takes place encrypted. The upload is solely used to identify recipients of our Facebook ads. We want to ensure that the ads are only displayed to users who are interested in our information and services.
The processing of the data by Facebook is part of Facebook’s data usage policy. Accordingly, general notes on the presentation of Facebook Ads, in the data usage policy of Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/policy.php. Special information and details about the Facebook Pixel and how it operates can be found in the help section of Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/business/help/651294705016616.
You may object to the collection by the Facebook Pixel and use of your data to display Facebook Ads. To set which types of ads you see within Facebook, you can go to Facebook’s set-up site and follow the instructions on the usage-based advertising settings: https://www.facebook.com/settings?tab=ads. The settings are platform independent, this means they are adopted for all devices, such as desktop computers or mobile devices.

Content of the newsletter: We send newsletters, e-mails and other electronic notifications with advertising information (in the following mentioned as “newsletter”) only with the consent of the recipient or a legal permission. If the contents of a newsletter are specifically described, they are authoritative for the user’s consent. Otherwise, our newsletters contains information regarding our products, offers, promotions and our company.
Double-opt-in and recording: The registration for our newsletter takes place in a so-called double opt-in procedure. This means you will receive an e-mail after logging in, requesting confirmation of your registration. This confirmation is necessary so that nobody can register with foreign e-mail addresses. The registration for the newsletter will be recorded in order to prove the registration process accordingly to the legal requirements. This includes the storage of the login and the confirmation time, as well as the IP address. Also changes to your stored data with the shipping service provider, will be recorded.

The granted consent to store the data, the e-mail address and their use for sending the newsletter can be objected at any time, for example via the “unsubscribe” link in the newsletter.
The data protection measures are always subject to technical renewal, for this reason, we ask you to inform yourself in regards to our data protection measures at regular intervals by viewing our data protection declaration.
Furthermore, the shipping service provider may, according to its own information, use these data in pseudonymous form, meaning without assignment to a user, to optimize or improve their own services, e.g. for the technical optimization of the dispatch and the presentation of the newsletters or for statistical purposes, to determine which countries the recipients are from. However, the shipping service provider does not use the data of our newsletter recipients to contact them directly or disclose third parties.
Registration data: To subscribe to the newsletter, it is sufficient to enter your e-mail address. Optionally, we ask you to provide a name in the newsletter for the purpose of personal address.
Statistical Survey and Analysis – The newsletters contains a so-called “web-beacon”, this is a pixel-sized file that is retrieved from the shipping service provider’s server when the newsletter is opened. In the context of this call, first of all technical information, such as information about the browser and your system, as well as your IP address and time of access will be collected. This information is used to improve the technical performance of services based on the specifications or target groups and their reading habits, by means of their retrieval locations (which can be determined using the IP address) or access times. Statistical surveys also include determining if the newsletters will be opened, when they will be opened and which links will be clicked. For technical reasons, this information can be assigned to the individual newsletter recipients. However, it is neither our effort nor that of the shipping service provider to observe individual users. Much more, the evaluations serve us to review the reading habits of our users and to adapt our content to such or to send different content according to the interests of our users.
The use of the shipping service provider, carrying out statistical surveys and analyzes as well as recording the registration process, are based on our legitimate interests in accordance with article 6 clause 1, littera f General Data Protection Regulations (DSGVO).

A link to cancel the newsletter can be found at the end of each newsletter. If the users have only subscribed to the newsletter and this registration is terminated, their personal data will be deleted.
Based on our legitimate interests (e.g. interest in the analysis, optimization and economic operation of our online offer in accordance with article 6 clause 1, littera f General Data Protection Regulations DSGVO), we make use of content or services offered by third-party providers in order to provide their content and services, such as integrating videos or fonts (in the following collectively mentioned as “content”). This always presupposes that the third party providers of this content, perceive the IP address of the users, since they cannot send the content to their browser without the IP address. The IP address is therefore required for the presentation of this content. We strive to use only content which respective providers use the IP address solely for the delivery of the content. Third parties may also use so-called pixel tags (invisible graphics, also mentioned as “web beacons”) for statistical or marketing purposes. The “pixel tags” can be used to evaluate information such as visitor traffic on the pages of this website.
