Cookies

Some of the web pages on this site use so-called cookies. Cookies do not harm your computer and do not contain viruses. Cookies are used to make our website more user-friendly, effective, and secure. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer and saved by your browser.
Most of the cookies we use are so-called “session cookies.” They are automatically deleted at the end of your visit. Other cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them. These cookies allow us to recognize your browser the next time you visit.
You can configure your browser to notify you when cookies are set, to allow cookies only on a case-by-case basis, to block cookies in specific cases or generally, and to enable the automatic deletion of cookies when you close your browser. If you disable cookies, the functionality of this website may be limited.
Cookies that are necessary for the electronic communication process or for providing certain functions you have requested (e.g., the shopping cart feature) are stored pursuant to Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing cookies to ensure the technically error-free and optimized provision of its services. To the extent that other cookies (e.g., cookies used to analyze your browsing behavior) are stored, these are addressed separately in this Privacy Policy.

Server Log Files

The provider of this website automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. These include:

• Browser Type and Browser Version
• Operating system used
• Referrer URL
• Hostname of the connecting computer
• Time of the server request
• IP address

This data is not combined with other data sources. The legal basis for data processing is Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR, which permits the processing of data for the performance of a contract or precontractual measures.

Google Analytics

This website uses features of the web analytics service Google Analytics. The provider is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.
Google Analytics uses so-called “cookies.” These are text files that are stored on your computer and enable an analysis of your use of the website. The information generated by the cookie regarding your use of this website is generally transmitted to a Google server in the United States and stored there.
Google Analytics cookies are stored in accordance with Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in analyzing user behavior in order to optimize both its website and its advertising.

IP Anonymization
We have enabled the IP anonymization feature on this website. As a result, Google truncates your IP address within member states of the European Union or in other signatory states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area before it is transmitted to the United States. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transmitted to a Google server in the United States and truncated there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity, and to provide other services related to website and internet usage to the website operator. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics is not combined with other data held by Google.

Demographic Features in Google Analytics
This website uses the “Demographic Features” function of Google Analytics. This allows reports to be generated that provide insights into the age, gender, and interests of site visitors. This data is derived from Google’s interest-based advertising as well as from visitor data provided by third parties. This data cannot be associated with any specific individual. You can disable this feature at any time via the ad settings in your Google Account or generally prevent Google Analytics from collecting your data as described in the section “Objecting to Data Collection.”

Newsletter Information

If you would like to subscribe to the newsletter offered on the website, we need your email address as well as information that allows us to verify that you are the owner of the email address provided and that you consent to receiving the newsletter. No other data is collected, or is collected only on a voluntary basis. We use this data exclusively to send you the requested information and do not share it with third parties.
The processing of the data entered in the newsletter sign-up form is based solely on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). You may revoke your consent to the storage of your data and email address, as well as their use for sending the newsletter, at any time—for example, by clicking the “Unsubscribe” link in the newsletter. The lawfulness of any data processing that has already taken place remains unaffected by this revocation.
The data you have provided to us for the purpose of subscribing to the newsletter will be stored by us until you unsubscribe from the newsletter and will be deleted after you unsubscribe. Data that we have stored for other purposes (e.g., email addresses for the members-only area) remains unaffected by this.

MailChimp

This website uses MailChimp to send newsletters. The provider is Rocket Science Group LLC, 675 Ponce De Leon Ave NE, Suite 5000, Atlanta, GA 30308, USA.

MailChimp is a service that can be used, among other things, to organize and analyze the distribution of newsletters. If you enter data for the purpose of subscribing to a newsletter (e.g., your email address), this data is stored on MailChimp’s servers in the United States.

MailChimp is certified under the “EU-U.S. Privacy Shield.” The “Privacy Shield” is an agreement between the European Union (EU) and the United States designed to ensure compliance with European data protection standards in the United States.

We use MailChimp to analyze our newsletter campaigns. When you open an email sent via MailChimp, a file contained in the email (known as a web beacon) connects to MailChimp’s servers in the United States. This allows us to determine whether a newsletter message has been opened and, if applicable, which links were clicked. Technical information is also collected (e.g., time of access, IP address, browser type, and operating system). This information cannot be linked to individual newsletter recipients. It is used exclusively for the statistical analysis of newsletter campaigns. The results of these analyses may be used to better tailor future newsletters to the interests of the recipients.

If you do not want MailChimp to analyze your data, you must unsubscribe from the newsletter. We provide a link for this purpose in every newsletter message. You can also unsubscribe from the newsletter directly on our website.

Data processing is based on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) of the GDPR). You may withdraw this consent at any time by unsubscribing from the newsletter. The lawfulness of any data processing that has already taken place remains unaffected by this withdrawal.

The data you have provided to us for the purpose of subscribing to the newsletter will be stored by us until you unsubscribe from the newsletter and will be deleted from both our servers and MailChimp’s servers after you unsubscribe. Data that we have stored for other purposes (e.g., email addresses for the members-only area) remains unaffected by this.

Google+ Plugin
Our pages use Google+ features. The provider is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.

Collection and Sharing of Information: You can use the Google+ button to share information worldwide. Through the Google+ button, you and other users receive personalized content from Google and our partners. Google stores both the fact that you gave a piece of content a +1 and information about the page you were viewing when you clicked +1. Your +1s may appear as recommendations alongside your profile name and photo in Google services—such as in search results or on your Google Profile—or in other places on websites and in ads across the web.

Google collects information about your +1 activity to improve Google services for you and others. To use the Google+ button, you need a public Google profile that is visible worldwide and must include at least the name you selected for the profile. This name is used across all Google services. In some cases, this name may also replace another name you used when sharing content through your Google Account. The identity associated with your Google profile may be visible to users who know your email address or have other identifying information about you.

Use of the Collected Information: In addition to the purposes described above, the information you provide will be used in accordance with Google’s applicable privacy policies. Google may publish aggregated statistics about users’ +1 activity or share this information with users and partners, such as publishers, advertisers, or affiliated websites.

LinkedIn Plugin
Our website uses features from the LinkedIn network. The provider is LinkedIn Corporation, 2029 Stierlin Court, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.

Every time you visit one of our pages that includes LinkedIn features, a connection is established with LinkedIn’s servers. LinkedIn is notified that you have visited our website using your IP address. If you click the LinkedIn “Recommend” button while logged into your LinkedIn account, LinkedIn can associate your visit to our website with you and your user account. Please note that, as the provider of these pages, we have no knowledge of the content of the data transmitted or how it is used by LinkedIn.

WPML uses cookies to determine the visitor’s current language, the language they last visited, and the language of logged-in users.

While you are using the plugin, WPML will share data related to the site via the installer. No user data is shared in the process.

On our website, we offer you the option to use so-called “social media buttons.” To protect your data, we use the “Shariff” solution for implementation. This means that these buttons are embedded on our site solely as static graphics that contain a link to the provider’s website. Clicking on the graphic will therefore redirect you to the provider’s website, just as with a normal link. The provider only receives information about you—such as your IP address—once you visit their website. If you do not click on the button graphics, no data is exchanged. Information about the collection and use of your data on social networks can be found in the respective terms of use of the relevant providers. More information about the plugin and the Shariff solution can be found here: https://de.wordpress.org/plugins/shariff/

On our website, we provide buttons for the following services/companies: AddThis, Diaspora, Facebook, Flattr, Flipboard, LinkedIn, Mix, Odnoklassniki, Patreon, PayPal, Pinterest, Pocket, Qzone, Reddit, Telegram, Tencent Weibo, Threema, Tumblr, Twitter, VK, Wallabag, Weibo, WhatsApp, Xing.

You can find details on how “Real Cookie Banner” works here. The legal bases for the processing of personal data in this context are Article 6(1)(c) of the GDPR and Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. Our legitimate interest is the management of the cookies and similar technologies used, as well as the related consents.

Providing personal data is neither required by contract nor necessary for entering into a contract. You are not obligated to provide personal data. If you do not provide personal data, we will not be able to manage your consents.

Remington Drive, Sunnyvale, CA 94087, USA (www.jivochat.com) to collect and store anonymized data for the purpose of operating the live chat system and responding to live support inquiries. Usage profiles may be created from this anonymized data under a pseudonym. Cookies may be used for this purpose. Cookies are small text files that are stored locally in the cache of the website visitor’s internet browser. The cookies enable the recognition of the web browser. The data collected using Jivochat technologies will not be used to personally identify visitors to this website without the data subject’s separate consent, nor will it be merged with personal data regarding the holder of the pseudonym.

The chat can be used completely anonymously and is intended to provide prospective customers and clients with advice on product selection and to answer product-related questions. The data collected is used only for the specified purpose and is stored in accordance with statutory retention requirements or deleted upon expiration.
