Tracking tools

The tracking measures listed below and used by us are carried out on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR.

With the tracking measures used, we want to ensure a needs-based design and the continuous optimization of our website. We also use the tracking measures to statistically record the use of our website and to evaluate it for the purpose of optimizing our offer for you.

The respective data processing purposes and data categories can be found in the corresponding tracking tools.

Google Analytics 4

If you have given your consent, this website uses Google Analytics 4, a web analytics service provided by Google LLC. The controller for users in the EU/EEA and Switzerland is Google Ireland Limited, Google Building Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland (“Google”).

Nature and purpose of processing

Google Analytics uses cookies that enable your use of our website to be analyzed. The information collected by the cookies about your use of this website is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there.

In Google Analytics 4, the anonymization of IP addresses is activated by default. Due to IP anonymization, your IP address will be shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and truncated there. According to Google, the IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.

‍During your visit to the website, your user behavior is recorded in the form of “events”. Events can be

  • Page views
  • First visit to the website
  • Start of the session
  • Visited web pages
  • Your “click path”, interaction with the website
  • Scrolls (whenever a user scrolls to the end of the page (90%))
  • Clicks on external links
  • Internal search queries
  • Interaction with videos
  • file downloads
  • Ads viewed / clicked on
  • language setting

Also recorded:

  • Your approximate location (region)
  • Date and time of the visit
  • Your IP address (in abbreviated form)
  • Technical information about your browser and the end devices you use (e.g. language setting, screen resolution)
  • your internet provider
  • the referrer URL (via which website/advertising medium you came to this website)

Purposes of the processing

On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your pseudonymous use of the website and to compile reports on website activity. The reports provided by Google Analytics are used to analyze the performance of our website.

Recipients

Recipients of the data are/may be

  • Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (as processor pursuant to Art. 28 GDPR)
  • Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043, USA
  • Alphabet Inc, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043, USA

Third country transfer

For the USA, the European Commission adopted its adequacy decision on July 10, 2023. Google LLC is certified under the EU-US Privacy Framework. Since Google servers are distributed worldwide and a transfer to third countries (for example to Singapore) cannot be completely ruled out, we have also concluded the EU standard contractual clauses with the provider.

Storage duration

The data sent by us and linked to cookies is automatically anonymized or deleted after 14 months. The maximum lifespan of Google Analytics cookies is 2 years. Data whose retention period has been reached is automatically deleted once a month. You can find details on this under the following link:

https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/7667196?hl=de

Legal basis

‍‍The legal basis for this data processing is your consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR and § 25 para. 1 sentence 1 TDDDG.

Withdrawal of consent

You can withdraw your consent at any time with effect for the future by accessing the cookie settings and changing your selection there. This does not affect the lawfulness of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent until revocation.

You can find more information on the terms of use of Google Analytics and on data protection at Google at https://marketingplatform.google.com/about/analytics/terms/de/ and at https://policies.google.com/?hl=de.

Google Tag Manager

We also use Google Tag Manager. This service can be used to manage website tags. Google Tag Manager only sets up “tags” - “tags” are a code that is used to measure visitor traffic and visitor behavior.

The “tags” originate from other services - in our case from Google Analytics (see above). These tags are only managed via the Google Tag Manager, no cookies are set and no personal data is collected. If tracking has been deactivated, this also applies to all tracking tags that are managed with Google Tag Manager.

Your rights

As a data subject, you have the opportunity to assert your rights against us in connection with the General Data Protection Regulation. This includes the following rights:

Right to information in accordance with Article 15 GDPR

You have the option of requesting your data stored by us. In particular, you can request information about the processing purposes, the category of personal data, the categories of recipients to whom your data has been or will be disclosed, the planned storage period, the existence of a right to rectification, erasure, restriction of processing or objection, the existence of a right to lodge a complaint, the origin of your data if it was not collected by us, as well as the existence of automated decision-making including profiling and, if applicable, meaningful information on its details. An informal request by email or post is sufficient for this purpose. You will receive the requested information within one month of receipt of the letter.

You have the right to request the erasure of your personal data stored by us, unless the processing is necessary for exercising the right of freedom of expression and information, for compliance with a legal obligation, for reasons of public interest or for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims. However, this presupposes that the purposes for processing have ceased to exist, or that you have objected to the processing in accordance with Article 21 GDPR, you withdraw your consent in accordance with Article 7 GDPR or the processing is unlawful.

Right to restriction of processing in accordance with Article 18 GDPR

You have the right to demand the restriction of the processing of your personal data if the accuracy of the data is disputed by you, the processing is unlawful but its erasure is rejected and we no longer need the data, but you need it to assert, exercise or defend legal claims or you have objected to the processing in accordance with Art. 21 GDPR.

You have the right to withdraw your consent from us at any time. The consequence of this is that we may no longer continue the data processing based on this consent in the future and

Right to object in accordance with Article 21 GDPR

If your personal data is processed on the basis of legitimate interests in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR, you have the right to object to the processing of your personal data if there are reasons for this arising from your particular situation or if the objection is directed against direct advertising.
