Facebook
To advertise our products and services and to communicate with interested parties or customers, we operate a company presence on the Facebook platform.

General linking to third-party profiles
The provider uses a link on the website to the social networks listed below.
The legal basis for this is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO. The legitimate interest of the provider is to improve the quality of use of the website.
The integration of the plugins takes place via a linked graphic. Only by clicking on the corresponding graphic, the user is redirected to the service of the respective social network.
After the customer has been forwarded, information about the user is collected by the respective network. This is initially data such as IP address, date, time and page visited. If the user is logged into his user account of the respective network during this time, the network operator may be able to assign the collected information of the specific visit of the user to the personal account of the user. If the user interacts via a “Share” button of the respective network, this information can be stored in the user’s personal user account and may be published. If the user wants to prevent the collected information from being directly assigned to his user account, the user must log out before clicking on the graphic. In addition, it is possible to configure the respective user account accordingly.

Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics on our website. This is a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, hereinafter referred to as “Google”.
The Google Analytics service is used to analyze the usage behavior of our website. The legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) DSGVO. Our legitimate interest lies in the analysis, optimization and economic operation of our website.
Usage and user-related information, such as IP address, location, time or frequency of visits to our website, is transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. However, we use Google Analytics with the so-called anonymization function. Through this function, Google already shortens the IP address within the EU or EEA.
The data collected in this way is in turn used by Google to provide us with an evaluation of the visit to our website and the usage activities there. This data may also be used to provide other services related to the use of our website and the use of the Internet.
Google states that it will not associate your IP address with any other data. In addition, Google keeps a record of your IP address at
https://www.google.com/intl/de/policies/privacy/partners
Google provides you with further information on data protection law, e.g. on the options for preventing the use of data.
In addition, Google offers a privacy policy at
https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de
offers a so-called deactivation add-on together with further information on this. This add-on can be installed with standard Internet browsers and offers you further control over the data that Google collects when you visit our website. The add-on tells the JavaScript (ga.js) of Google Analytics that information about the visit to our website should not be transmitted to Google Analytics. However, this does not prevent information from being transmitted to us or to other web analytics services. If and which other web analytics services are used by us, you will of course also find out in this privacy policy.
Tracking pixel of the WORT collecting society (VG WORT)
On our website, we use the so-called VG WORT tracking pixel from the provider INFOnline GmbH, Forum Bonn Nord, Brühler Str. 9, 53119 Bonn, Germany, in the form of the so-called SZM (Scalable Central Measurement Method).
The legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) DSGVO. Our legitimate interest lies in the optimization and economic operation of our website and in the consideration of copyright interests regarding the content of our website.
The tracking pixel is a graphic that is placed on our website and determines statistical key figures. This makes it possible to calculate the copy probability of texts based on the number of calls and the specific content of our Internet presence. The collection of this data is anonymous. In order to be able to record the access figures as well as your possibly recurring visit, either a so-called session cookie is placed on your end device by your Internet browser or a signature is used, which is created from various information of your Internet browser (e.g. user agent, screen resolution, etc.). However, your IP address is only processed in anonymous form. As an individual user, you are not identifiable at any time.
If you do not agree with this processing, you have the option to prevent the storage of the cookie by a setting in your Internet browser. You can find more information on this above under “Cookies”. In addition, you have the option to terminate SZM measurement by way of the so-called opt-out. By confirming the link
a cookie is stored on your end device via your Internet browser, which prevents further analysis. Please note, however, that you will have to click the above link again if you delete the cookies stored on your end device.
Google reCAPTCHA
On our website, we use Google reCAPTCHA to check and prevent interactions on our website by automated access, e.g. by so-called bots. This is a service of Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, hereinafter referred to as “Google”.
Through this service, Google can determine from which website a request is sent as well as from which IP address you use the so-called reCAPTCHA input box. In addition to your IP address, other information may be collected by Google, which is necessary for the offer and guarantee of this service.
The legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) DSGVO. Our legitimate interest lies in the security of our website and in the defense against unwanted, automated access in the form of spam or similar.
Google offers a service for this purpose at
https://policies.google.com/privacy
for further information on the general handling of your user data.
YouTube
We use YouTube on our website. This is a video portal of Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, hereinafter referred to as “YouTube”.
We use YouTube in connection with the “Enhanced Privacy Mode” function in order to be able to show you videos. In the event that you have given your consent for this processing, the legal basis is Art. 6 (1) lit. a DSGVO. The legal basis may also be Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO. Our legitimate interest lies in improving the quality of our website. According to YouTube, the “Enhanced Privacy Mode” function ensures that the data described in more detail below is only transmitted to the YouTube server if you actually start a video.
Without this “Enhanced Privacy Mode”, a connection to the YouTube server in the USA is established as soon as you call up one of our Internet pages on which a YouTube video is embedded.
This connection is necessary in order to be able to display the respective video on our website via your Internet browser. In the course of this, YouTube will at least record and process your IP address, the date and time, as well as the website you visited. In addition, a connection to Google’s advertising network “DoubleClick” is established.
If you are logged in to YouTube at the same time, YouTube will assign the connection information to your YouTube account. If you wish to prevent this, you must either log out of YouTube before visiting our website or make the appropriate settings in your YouTube user account.
For the purpose of functionality as well as for the analysis of user behavior, YouTube permanently stores cookies on your end device via your Internet browser. If you do not agree with this processing, you have the option to prevent the storage of cookies by a setting in your Internet browser. You can find more information on this above under “Cookies”.
Google provides further information on the collection and use of data as well as your rights and protection options in this regard in the privacy policy published at

Use of PayPal as a payment method
If you decide to pay with the online payment service provider PayPal during your order process, your contact details will be transmitted to PayPal as part of the order triggered in this way. PayPal is an offer of PayPal (Europe) S.Ã .r.l. & Cie. S.C.A., 22-24 Boulevard Royal, L-2449 Luxembourg. PayPal assumes the function of an online payment service provider as well as a trustee and offers buyer protection services.
The personal data transmitted to PayPal are mostly first name, last name, address, telephone number, IP address, e-mail address, or other data required for order processing, as well as data related to the order, such as number of items, item number, invoice amount and taxes in percent, billing information, etc..
This transmission is necessary to process your order with the payment method you have selected, in particular to confirm your identity, to administer your payment and the customer relationship. The transmission of your data to PayPal is therefore based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b DSGVO.
Please note, however: Personal data may also be transferred by PayPal to service providers, subcontractors or other affiliated companies, insofar as this is necessary for the fulfillment of contractual obligations arising from your order or the personal data is to be processed on behalf.
Depending on the payment method selected via PayPal, e.g. invoice or direct debit, the personal data transmitted to PayPal will be transmitted by PayPal to credit agencies. This transmission serves to check your identity and creditworthiness in relation to the order you have placed. You can find out which credit agencies are involved and which data is generally collected, processed, stored and passed on by PayPal in the PayPal data protection declaration at https://www.paypal.com/de/webapps/mpp/ua/privacy-full.
