4. Data Collection on Our Website
Cookies
Some of the internet pages use so-called cookies. Cookies do not harm your computer and do not contain viruses. Cookies serve to make our offer 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 after your visit. Other cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them. These cookies enable us to recognize your browser the next time you visit.
You can set your browser to inform you about the setting of cookies and to allow cookies only in individual cases, to exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general, and to activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. If cookies are deactivated, the functionality of this website may be limited.
Cookies that are required for the electronic communication process or for the provision of certain functions that you have requested (e.g., shopping cart function) are stored on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing cookies for the technically error-free and optimized provision of its services. As far as other cookies (e.g., cookies for analyzing your browsing behavior) are stored, they will be treated separately in this privacy policy.
We do not use tracking cookies.
Server Log Files
The website provider automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. These are:
- Browser type and browser version
- Operating system used
- Referrer URL
- Host name of the accessing computer
- Time of the server request
- IP address
These data will not be combined with data from other sources.
The basis for data processing is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR, which allows the processing of data to fulfill a contract or for measures preliminary to a contract.
5. Our Social Media Profiles
Data Processing by Social Networks
We maintain publicly available profiles on social networks. The individual social networks we use can be found below.
Social networks such as Facebook, Twitter, etc. can generally analyze your user behavior comprehensively if you visit their website or a website with integrated social media content (e.g., like buttons or banner ads). By visiting our social media profiles, numerous data protection-relevant processing operations are triggered. In detail:
If you are logged into your social media account and visit our social media profile, the operator of the social media portal can assign this visit to your user account. Under certain circumstances, your personal data may also be recorded if you are not logged in or do not have an account with the respective social media portal. This data collection is possible, for example, by cookies stored on your device or by capturing your IP address.
With the help of the data collected in this way, the operators of the social media portals can create user profiles in which your preferences and interests are stored. This way, you can be shown interest-based advertising inside and outside of the respective social media presence. If you have an account with the respective social network, interest-based advertising can be displayed on all devices on which you are or were logged in.
Please note that we have limited influence on the data processing procedures of the social media portals. Depending on the provider, further processing operations may therefore be carried out by the operators of the social media portals. Details can be found in the privacy policy of the respective social media portal.
Legal Basis
Our social media profiles are intended to ensure the widest possible presence on the internet. This is a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. The analysis processes initiated by the social networks may be based on different legal bases, which are to be stated by the operators of the social networks (e.g., consent within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR).
Responsible Party and Assertion of Rights
If you visit one of our social media profiles (e.g., Facebook), we are jointly responsible with the operator of the social media platform for the data processing operations triggered during this visit. You can assert your rights (information, correction, deletion, limitation of processing, data portability, and complaint) both against us and against the operator of the respective social media portal (e.g., Facebook).
Please note that despite the shared responsibility with the social media portal operators, we do not have full influence on the data processing operations of the social media portals. Our options are determined largely by the company policy of the respective provider.
Storage Duration
The data directly collected by us via the social media presence will be deleted from our systems as soon as the purpose for their storage lapses, you request us to delete it, revoke your consent to storage, or the purpose for data storage no longer applies. Stored cookies remain on your device until you delete them. Mandatory legal provisions, especially retention periods, remain unaffected.
We have no control over the storage duration of your data that is stored by the operators of social networks for their own purposes. For details, please contact the operators of the social networks directly (e.g., in their privacy policy, see below).
