Datenschutz hat einen besonders hohen Stellenwert für die Geschäftsleitung der Cult Caffè Kaffeerösterei GmbH. Eine Nutzung der Internetseiten der Cult Caffè Kaffeerösterei GmbH ist grundsätzlich ohne jede Angabe personenbezogener Daten möglich. Sofern eine betroffene Person besondere Services unseres Unternehmens über unsere Internetseite in Anspruch nehmen möchte, könnte jedoch eine Verarbeitung personenbezogener Daten erforderlich werden. Ist die Verarbeitung personenbezogener Daten erforderlich und besteht für eine solche Verarbeitung keine gesetzliche Grundlage, holen wir generell eine Einwilligung der betroffenen Person ein.

The processing of personal data, such as the name, address, email address, or telephone number of a data subject, is always carried out in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and in accordance with the country-specific data protection regulations applicable to Cult Caffè Kaffeerösterei GmbH. By means of this data protection declaration, our company would like to inform the public about the nature, scope, and purpose of the personal data we collect, use, and process. Furthermore, data subjects are informed of their rights by means of this data protection declaration.

Cult Caffè Kaffeerösterei GmbH, as the controller, has implemented numerous technical and organizational measures to ensure the most complete protection possible for personal data processed through this website. However, internet-based data transmissions may, in principle, have security gaps, so absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, every data subject is free to transmit personal data to us via alternative means, for example, by telephone.

Types of data processed:

– Inventory data (e.g., names, addresses).
– Contact details (e.g., email, telephone numbers).
– Content data (e.g., text entries, photographs, videos).
– Usage data (e.g., websites visited, interest in content, access times).
– Meta/communication data (e.g., device information, IP addresses).

Categories of data subjects

Visitors and users of the online offer (hereinafter we refer to the data subjects collectively as “users”).

Purpose of processing

– Provision of the online offer, its functions and contents.
– Answering contact requests and communicating with users.
– Security measures.
– Reach measurement/marketing

Definitions

The privacy policy of Cult Caffè Kaffeerösterei GmbH is based on the terms used by the European legislator for the adoption of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Our privacy policy is intended to be easily readable and understandable for the public, as well as for our customers and business partners. To ensure this, we would like to explain the terms used in advance.

In this privacy policy we use, among other things, the following terms:

Personal data is any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (hereinafter "data subject"). An identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person.

Data subject is any identified or identifiable natural person whose personal data is processed by the controller.

Processing is any operation or set of operations which is performed on personal data or on sets of personal data, whether or not by automated means, such as collection, recording, organisation, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure or destruction.

Restriction of processing is the marking of stored personal data with the aim of limiting its future processing.

Profiling is any form of automated processing of personal data consisting of the use of personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to analyse or predict aspects concerning that natural person’s performance at work, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behaviour, location or movements.

Pseudonymisation is the processing of personal data in such a manner that the personal data can no longer be attributed to a specific data subject without the use of additional information, provided that such additional information is kept separately and is subject to technical and organisational measures to ensure that the personal data are not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.

The controller or controller responsible for processing is the natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or other body which, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of processing personal data. Where the purposes and means of such processing are determined by Union or Member State law, the controller or the specific criteria for its nomination may be provided for by Union or Member State law.

Processor is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which processes personal data on behalf of the controller.

Recipient is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body to which personal data are disclosed, whether a third party or not. However, public authorities which may receive personal data in the framework of a particular inquiry in accordance with Union or Member State law shall not be considered recipients.

Third party is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or body other than the data subject, the controller, the processor and the persons authorised to process the personal data under the direct authority of the controller or processor.

Consent is any freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous indication of the data subject's wishes by which he or she, by a statement or by a clear affirmative action, signifies agreement to the processing of personal data concerning him or her.

Relevant legal bases

In accordance with Art. 13 GDPR, we inform you of the legal basis for our data processing. If the legal basis is not mentioned in the privacy policy, the following applies: The legal basis for obtaining consent is Art. 6 (1) (a) and Art. 7 GDPR, the legal basis for processing to fulfill our services and implement contractual measures as well as to answer inquiries is Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR, the legal basis for processing to fulfill our legal obligations is Art. 6 (1) (c) GDPR, and the legal basis for processing to protect our legitimate interests is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. In the event that vital interests of the data subject or another natural person require the processing of personal data, Art. 6 (1) (d) GDPR serves as the legal basis.

Security measures

We ask you to inform yourself regularly about the content of our privacy policy. We will adapt the privacy policy as soon as changes to the data processing we carry out make this necessary. We will inform you as soon as the changes require your cooperation (e.g., consent) or other individual notification.

Name and address of the controller

Cookies

The Cult Caffè Kaffeerösterei GmbH website uses cookies. Cookies are text files that are stored on a computer system via an Internet browser.

Numerous websites and servers use cookies. Many cookies contain a so-called cookie ID. A cookie ID is a unique identifier for the cookie. It consists of a character string that allows websites and servers to associate the specific internet browser in which the cookie was stored. This enables the visited websites and servers to distinguish the individual browser of the data subject from other internet browsers that contain other cookies. A specific internet browser can be recognized and identified via the unique cookie ID.

Through the use of cookies, Cult Caffè Kaffeerösterei GmbH can provide users of this website with more user-friendly services that would not be possible without the setting of cookies.

Cookies allow us to optimize the information and offers on our website for the user. As already mentioned, cookies enable us to recognize users of our website. The purpose of this recognition is to make it easier for users to use our website. For example, the user of a website that uses cookies does not have to enter their login details every time they visit the website because this is done by the website and the cookie stored on the user's computer system. Another example is the cookie for a shopping cart in an online shop. The online shop uses a cookie to remember the items a customer has placed in the virtual shopping cart.

The data subject can prevent the setting of cookies through our website at any time by making the appropriate settings in the Internet browser used, thereby permanently denying the setting of cookies. Furthermore, cookies already set can be deleted at any time using an Internet browser or other software programs. This is possible in all common Internet browsers. If the data subject deactivates the setting of cookies in the Internet browser used, not all functions of our website may be fully available.

Collection of general data and information

The website of Cult Caffè Kaffeerösterei GmbH collects a series of general data and information each time the website is accessed by a data subject or an automated system. This general data and information is stored in the server's log files. Collected may be (1) the browser types and versions used, (2) the operating system used by the accessing system, (3) the website from which an accessing system reaches our website (so-called referrers), (4) the sub-websites accessed via an accessing system on our website, (5) the date and time of access to the website, (6) an Internet protocol address (IP address), (7) the Internet service provider of the accessing system, and (8) other similar data and information that serve to avert dangers in the event of attacks on our information technology systems.

When using this general data and information, Cult Caffè Kaffeerösterei GmbH does not draw any conclusions about the data subject. Rather, this information is required to (1) correctly deliver the content of our website, (2) optimize the content of our website and its advertising, (3) ensure the long-term functionality of our information technology systems and the technology of our website, and (4) provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for criminal prosecution in the event of a cyberattack. This anonymously collected data and information is therefore evaluated by Cult Caffè Kaffeerösterei GmbH both statistically and with the aim of increasing data protection and data security in our company in order to ultimately ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data we process. The anonymous data in the server log files are stored separately from all personal data provided by a data subject.

Subscription to comments in the blog on the website

The comments posted on the Cult Caffè Kaffeerösterei GmbH blog may generally be subscribed to by third parties. In particular, a commentator may subscribe to the comments following their comment on a specific blog post.

If a data subject chooses to subscribe to comments, the controller will send an automatic confirmation email to verify, using the double opt-in procedure, whether the owner of the specified email address has actually chosen this option. The option to subscribe to comments can be canceled at any time.

Routine deletion and blocking of personal data

The controller shall process and store the personal data of the data subject only for the period necessary to achieve the purpose of storage or as far as this is provided for by the European legislator or other legislator in laws or regulations to which the controller is subject.

If the storage purpose no longer applies or if a storage period prescribed by the European legislator or another competent legislator expires, the personal data will be routinely blocked or deleted in accordance with the statutory provisions.

Rights of the data subject

Every data subject has the right granted by the European legislator to obtain confirmation from the controller as to whether or not personal data concerning him or her are being processed. If a data subject wishes to exercise this right of confirmation, he or she may contact an employee of the controller at any time.

Any person affected by the processing of personal data has the right, granted by the European legislator, to obtain from the controller free information about the personal data concerning him or her stored at any time and a copy of this information. Furthermore, the European legislator has granted the data subject the right to obtain the following information:

Furthermore, the data subject has the right to information as to whether personal data has been transferred to a third country or to an international organization. Where this is the case, the data subject also has the right to receive information about the appropriate safeguards related to the transfer.

If a data subject wishes to exercise this right to information, he or she may contact an employee of the controller at any time.

Any person affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator to request the immediate rectification of inaccurate personal data concerning him or her. Furthermore, taking into account the purposes of the processing, the data subject has the right to request the completion of incomplete personal data, including by means of providing a supplementary statement.

If a data subject wishes to exercise this right to rectification, he or she may contact an employee of the controller at any time.

Any person affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator to obtain from the controller the erasure of personal data concerning him or her without undue delay, where one of the following grounds applies and where processing is not necessary:

If one of the aforementioned reasons applies, and a data subject wishes to request the erasure of personal data stored by Cult Caffè Kaffeerösterei GmbH, they may contact an employee of the controller at any time. The employee of Cult Caffè Kaffeerösterei GmbH will ensure that the erasure request is complied with immediately.

If the personal data was made public by Cult Caffè Kaffeerösterei GmbH and our company as the controller pursuant to Art. 17 Para. 1 GDPR is obliged to erase the personal data, Cult Caffè Kaffeerösterei GmbH shall take appropriate measures, including technical ones, taking into account the available technology and the implementation costs, in order to inform other data controllers which process the published personal data that the data subject has requested the erasure by such controllers of all links to these personal data or of copies or replications of these personal data, unless processing is required. The employee of Cult Caffè Kaffeerösterei GmbH will arrange the necessary measures in individual cases.

Any person affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator to request the controller to restrict processing if one of the following conditions applies:

If one of the aforementioned conditions is met, and a data subject wishes to request the restriction of the processing of personal data stored by Cult Caffè Kaffeerösterei GmbH, he or she may contact any employee of the controller at any time. The employee of Cult Caffè Kaffeerösterei GmbH will arrange the restriction of processing.

Every data subject shall have the right granted by the European legislator to receive the personal data concerning him or her, which was provided to a controller, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. He or she shall also have the right to transmit those data to another controller without hindrance from the controller to which the personal data was provided, as long as the processing is based on consent pursuant to point (a) of Article 6(1) of the GDPR or point (a) of Article 9(2) of the GDPR or on a contract pursuant to point (b) of Article 6(1) of the GDPR and the processing is carried out by automated means, unless the processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller.

Furthermore, in exercising his or her right to data portability pursuant to Article 20(1) GDPR, the data subject shall have the right to have the personal data transmitted directly from one controller to another, where technically feasible and when doing so does not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others.

To assert the right to data portability, the data subject may contact an employee of Cult Caffè Kaffeerösterei GmbH at any time.

Any person affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning him or her, which is based on Article 6(1)(e) or (f) of the GDPR, for reasons related to his or her particular situation. This also applies to profiling based on these provisions.

In the event of an objection, Cult Caffè Kaffeerösterei GmbH will no longer process the personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which outweigh the interests, rights and freedoms of the data subject, or the processing serves to assert, exercise or defend legal claims.

If Cult Caffè Kaffeerösterei GmbH processes personal data for direct marketing purposes, the data subject has the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data for such advertising purposes. This also applies to profiling insofar as it is related to such direct marketing. If the data subject objects to Cult Caffè Kaffeerösterei GmbH processing the data for direct marketing purposes, Cult Caffè Kaffeerösterei GmbH will no longer process the personal data for these purposes.

In addition, the data subject has the right to object, for reasons related to his or her particular situation, to the processing of personal data concerning him or her which is carried out by Cult Caffè Kaffeerösterei GmbH for scientific or historical research purposes or for statistical purposes pursuant to Art. 89 (1) GDPR, unless such processing is necessary to perform a task carried out in the public interest.

To exercise the right to object, the data subject may contact any employee of Cult Caffè Kaffeerösterei GmbH or another employee directly. Furthermore, in connection with the use of information society services, the data subject is free to exercise his or her right of objection by means of automated procedures using technical specifications, notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC.

Every data subject shall have the right granted by the European legislator not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects concerning him or her or similarly significantly affects him or her, unless the decision (1) is necessary for entering into, or the performance of, a contract between the data subject and the controller, or (2) is authorized by Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject and which also lays down suitable measures to safeguard the data subject’s rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, or (3) is not based on the data subject’s explicit consent.

If the decision (1) is necessary for entering into, or the performance of, a contract between the data subject and the controller or (2) is made with the data subject’s explicit consent, Cult Caffè Kaffeerösterei GmbH shall implement suitable measures to safeguard the data subject’s rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, at least the right to obtain human intervention on the part of the controller, to express his or her point of view and to contest the decision.

If the data subject wishes to exercise rights with regard to automated decisions, he or she may contact any employee of the controller at any time.

Any person affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator to withdraw his or her consent to the processing of personal data at any time.

If the data subject wishes to exercise his or her right to withdraw consent, he or she may contact an employee of the controller at any time.

Data protection in applications and during the application process

The controller collects and processes the personal data of applicants for the purpose of processing the application procedure. Processing may also be carried out electronically. This is particularly the case if an applicant submits corresponding application documents to the controller electronically, for example by email or via a web form on the website. If the controller concludes an employment contract with an applicant, the transmitted data will be stored for the purpose of processing the employment relationship in compliance with the statutory provisions. If the controller does not conclude an employment contract with the applicant, the application documents will be automatically deleted two months after notification of the rejection decision, provided that no other legitimate interests of the controller conflict with deletion. Other legitimate interests in this sense include, for example, the burden of proof in proceedings under the General Equal Treatment Act (AGG).

Hosting

The hosting services we use serve to provide the following services: infrastructure and platform services, computing capacity, storage space and database services, security services and technical maintenance services, which we use for the purpose of operating this online offering.

In doing so, we or our hosting provider process inventory data, contact data, content data, contract data, usage data, meta and communication data of customers, interested parties and visitors to this online offer on the basis of our legitimate interests in the efficient and secure provision of this online offer in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR in conjunction with Art. 28 GDPR (conclusion of a contract for data processing).

Collection of access data and log files

Based on our legitimate interests pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR, we, or rather our hosting provider, collect data about every access to the server on which this service is located (so-called server log files). This access data includes the name of the accessed website, the file, the date and time of access, the amount of data transferred, the notification of successful access, the browser type and version, the user's operating system, the referrer URL (the previously visited page), the IP address, and the requesting provider.

Log file information is stored for security reasons (e.g., to investigate misuse or fraud) for a maximum of 7 days and then deleted. Data that needs to be retained for evidentiary purposes is exempt from deletion until the respective incident has been finally resolved.

Provision of contractual services

We process inventory data (e.g., names and addresses as well as contact details of users), contract data (e.g., services used, names of contact persons, payment information) for the purpose of fulfilling our contractual obligations and providing services in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR. Entries marked as mandatory in online forms are required for the conclusion of the contract.

When you use our online services, we store the IP address and the time of each user action. This storage is based on our legitimate interests, as well as the user's interest in protecting against misuse and other unauthorized use. This data will generally not be passed on to third parties unless it is necessary to pursue our claims or there is a legal obligation to do so in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (c) GDPR.

We process usage data (e.g., the websites visited on our website, interest in our products) and content data (e.g., entries in the contact form or user profile) for advertising purposes in a user profile in order to display product information to the user based on the services they have previously used.

Data will be deleted after the expiration of statutory warranty and similar obligations. The necessity of retaining the data will be reviewed every three years. In the case of statutory archiving obligations, data will be deleted after these expiration dates. Information in any customer account will remain until it is deleted.

Administration, financial accounting, office organization, contact management

We process data as part of administrative tasks and the organization of our operations, financial accounting, and compliance with legal obligations, such as archiving. For this purpose, we process the same data that we process as part of the provision of our contractual services. The processing is based on Art. 6 (1) (c) GDPR and Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. Customers, interested parties, business partners, and website visitors are affected by the processing. The purpose of and our interest in the processing lies in administration, financial accounting, office organization, and data archiving – i.e., tasks that serve to maintain our business activities, perform our tasks, and provide our services. The deletion of data with regard to contractual services and contractual communication corresponds to the information provided for these processing activities.

We disclose or transmit data to the tax authorities, consultants such as tax consultants or auditors as well as other fee offices and payment service providers.

Furthermore, based on our business interests, we store information about suppliers, event organizers, and other business partners, e.g., for the purpose of later contact. We generally store this mostly company-related data permanently.

Social media

We maintain online presences within social networks and platforms to communicate with customers, interested parties, and users active there and to inform them about our services. When accessing the respective networks and platforms, the terms and conditions and data processing guidelines of their respective operators apply.

Unless otherwise stated in our privacy policy, we process users' data if they communicate with us within the social networks and platforms, e.g. by writing posts on our online presence or sending us messages.

Business analyses and market research

In order to operate our business economically and to identify market trends and customer and user wishes, we analyze the data available to us on business transactions, contracts, inquiries, etc. In doing so, we process inventory data, communication data, contract data, payment data, usage data and metadata on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR, whereby the data subjects include customers, interested parties, business partners, visitors and users of the online offer.

The analyses are conducted for the purposes of business evaluations, marketing, and market research. We may consider the profiles of registered users, including information about their purchasing transactions, for example. The analyses help us increase user-friendliness, optimize our offerings, and improve business efficiency. The analyses serve our sole purpose and will not be disclosed externally, unless they are anonymous analyses with aggregated values.

If these analyses or profiles are personal, they will be deleted or anonymized upon user termination, otherwise after two years from the conclusion of the contract. Otherwise, the overall business analyses and general trend determinations are created anonymously wherever possible.

Integration of third-party services and content

Within our online offering, we use content or service offerings from third parties on the basis of our legitimate interests (i.e. interest in the analysis, optimization and economic operation of our online offering within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR) in order to integrate their content and services, such as videos or fonts (hereinafter collectively referred to as “content”).

This always presupposes that the third-party providers of this content perceive the IP address of the user, since without the IP address they would not be able to send the content to their browser. The IP address is therefore necessary for the display of this content. We endeavour to only use content whose respective providers only use the IP address to deliver the content. Third-party providers may also use so-called pixel tags (invisible graphics, also known 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. The pseudonymous information may also be stored in cookies on the user's device and may contain, among other things, technical information about the browser and operating system, referring websites, time of visit and other information about the use of our online offering, as well as be linked to such information from other sources.

Data protection provisions regarding the application and use of Facebook

The controller has integrated components of the Facebook company into this website. Facebook is a social network.

A social network is an internet-based social meeting place, an online community that typically allows users to communicate with each other and interact in a virtual space. A social network can serve as a platform for exchanging opinions and experiences or allow the internet community to provide personal or business-related information. Facebook allows users of the social network to create private profiles, upload photos, and network via friend requests, among other things.

The operating company of Facebook is Facebook, Inc., 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA. If a data subject lives outside the USA or Canada, the controller responsible for processing personal data is Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland.

Each time one of the individual pages of this website, which is operated by the controller and on which a Facebook component (Facebook plug-in) was integrated, is accessed, the Internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject is automatically prompted by the respective Facebook component to download a display of the corresponding Facebook component from Facebook. A complete overview of all Facebook plug-ins can be found at https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/?locale=de_DE. As part of this technical process, Facebook receives information about which specific subpage of our website was visited by the data subject.

If the data subject is logged in to Facebook at the same time, Facebook recognizes which specific subpage of our website the data subject visits with each visit to our website by the data subject and for the entire duration of their stay on our website. This information is collected through the Facebook component and assigned by Facebook to the respective Facebook account of the data subject. If the data subject clicks on one of the Facebook buttons integrated on our website, e.g. the "Like" button, or if the data subject makes a comment, Facebook assigns this information to the personal Facebook user account of the data subject and stores the personal data.

Facebook always receives information via the Facebook component that the data subject has visited our website, provided that the data subject is logged in to Facebook at the time of accessing our website; this occurs regardless of whether the data subject clicks on the Facebook component or not. If the data subject does not want this information to be transmitted to Facebook, they can prevent this by logging out of their Facebook account before accessing our website.

The data policy published by Facebook, available at https://de-de.facebook.com/about/privacy/, provides information about the collection, processing, and use of personal data by Facebook. It also explains which settings options Facebook offers to protect the privacy of the data subject. Furthermore, various applications are available that allow the suppression of data transmission to Facebook. Such applications can be used by the data subject to suppress data transmission to Facebook.

Data protection provisions regarding the application and use of Google Analytics (with anonymization function)

The controller has integrated the Google Analytics component (with anonymization function) on this website. Google Analytics is a web analysis service. Web analysis is the collection, gathering, and evaluation of data about the behavior of website visitors. A web analysis service collects, among other things, data about the website from which a data subject came to a website (so-called referrers), which subpages of the website were accessed, and how often and for how long a subpage was viewed. Web analysis is primarily used to optimize a website and for the cost-benefit analysis of online advertising.

The operator of the Google Analytics component is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA.

The controller uses the add-on "_gat._anonymizeIp" for web analysis via Google Analytics. This add-on shortens and anonymizes the IP address of the data subject's internet connection if our website is accessed from a member state of the European Union or another state party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area.

The purpose of the Google Analytics component is to analyze visitor traffic on our website. Google uses the data and information obtained, among other things, to evaluate the use of our website, to compile online reports for us that demonstrate website activity, and to provide other services related to website activity.

Google Analytics sets a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. What cookies are has already been explained above. By setting the cookie, Google is enabled to analyze the use of our website. With each call-up to one of the individual pages of this website, which is operated by the controller and on which a Google Analytics component was integrated, the Internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject is automatically prompted by the respective Google Analytics component to transmit data to Google for the purpose of online analysis. As part of this technical procedure, Google receives knowledge of personal data, such as the IP address of the data subject, which Google uses, among other things, to trace the origin of visitors and clicks and subsequently enable commission settlements.

The cookie is used to store personal information, such as the access time, the location from which access was made, and the frequency of visits to our website by the data subject. With each visit to our website, this personal data, including the IP address of the internet connection used by the data subject, is transmitted to Google in the United States of America. This personal data is stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may transfer this personal data collected via the technical process to third parties.

As already described above, the data subject can prevent the setting of cookies through our website at any time by making the appropriate settings in the Internet browser used, thereby permanently denying the setting of cookies. Such a setting of the Internet browser used would also prevent Google from placing a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. Furthermore, a cookie already set by Google Analytics can be deleted at any time via the Internet browser or other software programs.

Furthermore, the data subject has the option of objecting to the collection of data generated by Google Analytics relating to the use of this website and the processing of this data by Google and of preventing such collection and processing. To do so, the data subject must download and install a browser add-on available at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. This browser add-on informs Google Analytics via JavaScript that no data and information relating to website visits may be transmitted to Google Analytics. Google will regard the installation of the browser add-on as an objection. If the information technology system of the data subject is deleted, formatted, or reinstalled at a later date, the data subject must reinstall the browser add-on to deactivate Google Analytics. If the browser add-on is uninstalled or deactivated by the data subject or another person under their sphere of control, it is possible to reinstall or reactivate the browser add-on.

Further information and Google's applicable privacy policy can be found at https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/ and at http://www.google.com/analytics/terms/de.html. Google Analytics is explained in more detail at this link: https://www.google.com/intl/de_de/analytics/.

Data protection provisions regarding the application and use of Google+

The controller has integrated the Google+ button as a component on this website. Google+ is a so-called social network. A social network is a social meeting place operated on the Internet, an online community that generally enables users to communicate with each other and interact in virtual space. A social network can serve as a platform for exchanging opinions and experiences or enables the Internet community to provide personal or company-related information. Google+ enables users of the social network to, among other things, create private profiles, upload photos, and network via friend requests.

The operating company of Google+ is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA.

Each time one of the individual pages of this website, which is operated by the controller and on which a Google+ button has been integrated, is accessed, the Internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject is automatically prompted to download a display of the corresponding Google+ button from Google. As part of this technical process, Google receives information about which specific subpage of our website was visited by the data subject. More detailed information about Google+ is available at https://developers.google.com/+/.

If the data subject is logged in to Google+ at the same time, Google recognizes which specific subpage of our website the data subject visits each time the data subject visits our website, and for the entire duration of their stay on our website. This information is collected through the Google+ button and assigned by Google to the respective Google+ account of the data subject.

If the data subject clicks on one of the Google+ buttons integrated on our website and thereby makes a Google+ 1 recommendation, Google assigns this information to the personal Google+ user account of the data subject and stores the personal data. Google stores the Google+ 1 recommendation of the data subject and makes it publicly available in accordance with the terms and conditions accepted by the data subject. A Google+ 1 recommendation made by the data subject on this website is subsequently stored and processed together with other personal data, such as the name of the Google+ 1 account used by the data subject and the photo stored in this account, on other Google services, such as the search engine results of the Google search engine, the Google account of the data subject or in other places, for example on websites or in connection with advertisements. Furthermore, Google is able to link the visit to this website with other personal data stored by Google. Google also records this personal information for the purpose of improving or optimising the various Google services.

Google always receives information via the Google+ button that the data subject has visited our website, provided that the data subject is logged in to Google+ at the same time as accessing our website; this occurs regardless of whether the data subject clicks on the Google+ button or not.

If the data subject does not want personal data to be transmitted to Google, he or she can prevent such transmission by logging out of his or her Google+ account before accessing our website.

Privacy policy regarding the application and use of Jetpack for WordPress

The controller has integrated Jetpack on this website. Jetpack is a WordPress plug-in that offers additional functions to the operator of a website based on WordPress. Jetpack allows the website operator, among other things, an overview of the site's visitors. By displaying related posts and publications or the option to share content on the site, visitor numbers can also be increased. Furthermore, security functions are integrated into Jetpack, so that a website using Jetpack is better protected against brute-force attacks. Jetpack also optimizes and accelerates the loading of images integrated into the website.

The operator of the Jetpack plug-in for WordPress is Automattic Inc., 132 Hawthorne Street, San Francisco, CA 94107, USA. The operator uses the tracking technology of Quantcast Inc., 201 Third Street, San Francisco, CA 94103, USA.

Jetpack sets a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. Cookies have already been explained above. With each visit to one of the individual pages of this website, which is operated by the controller and on which a Jetpack component has been integrated, the Internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject is automatically prompted by the respective Jetpack component to transmit data to Automattic for analysis purposes. As part of this technical procedure, Automattic receives information that is subsequently used to create an overview of website visits. The data obtained in this way is used to analyze the behavior of the data subject who has accessed the controller's website and is evaluated with the aim of optimizing the website. The data collected via the Jetpack component will not be used to identify the data subject without the data subject's prior express consent. The data is also disclosed to Quantcast. Quantcast uses the data for the same purposes as Automattic.

As already described above, the data subject can prevent the setting of cookies through our website at any time by means of a corresponding setting in the Internet browser used and thus permanently deny the setting of cookies. Such a setting of the Internet browser used would also prevent Automattic/Quantcast from placing a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. Furthermore, cookies already set by Automattic can be deleted at any time via the Internet browser or other software programs.

Furthermore, the data subject has the option of objecting to and preventing the collection of data generated by the Jetpack cookie relating to the use of this website and the processing of this data by Automattic/Quantcast. To do so, the data subject must click the opt-out button under the link https://www.quantcast.com/opt-out/, which sets an opt-out cookie. The opt-out cookie set with the objection is stored on the information technology system used by the data subject. If the cookies on the data subject's system are deleted after an objection, the data subject must call up the link again and set a new opt-out cookie.

However, by setting the opt-out cookie, it is possible that the data subject will no longer be able to fully use the website of the controller.

Automattic's applicable privacy policy is available at https://automattic.com/privacy/. Quantcast's applicable privacy policy is available at https://www.quantcast.com/privacy/.

Data protection provisions regarding the application and use of YouTube

The controller has integrated YouTube components into this website. YouTube is an internet video portal that allows video publishers to upload video clips free of charge and other users to view, rate, and comment on them free of charge. YouTube allows the publication of all types of videos, which is why both complete film and television programs, as well as music videos, trailers, and videos created by users themselves, are available via the internet portal.

The operating company of YouTube is YouTube, LLC, 901 Cherry Ave., San Bruno, CA 94066, USA. YouTube, LLC is a subsidiary of Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA.

Each time one of the individual pages of this website, which is operated by the controller and on which a YouTube component (YouTube video) has been integrated, is accessed, the Internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject is automatically prompted by the respective YouTube component to download a display of the corresponding YouTube component from YouTube. Further information about YouTube can be found at https://www.youtube.com/yt/about/de/.

If the data subject does not want this information to be transmitted to YouTube and Google, they can prevent this by logging out of their YouTube account before accessing our website.

The privacy policy published by YouTube, which can be accessed at https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/, provides information about the collection, processing and use of personal data by YouTube and Google.

Google

Google ReCaptcha

We integrate the function for detecting bots, e.g., when entering data into online forms ("ReCaptcha") from Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. Privacy Policy: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/, Opt-Out: https://adssettings.google.com/authenticated.

Google Maps

We integrate maps from the "Google Maps" service provided by Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. The data processed may include, in particular, users' IP addresses and location data, which, however, will not be collected without their consent (usually obtained through their mobile device settings). The data may be processed in the USA. Privacy Policy: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/, Opt-Out: https://adssettings.google.com/authenticated.

Legal basis for processing

Art. 6 I lit. a GDPR serves as the legal basis for our company for processing operations for which we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose. If the processing of personal data is necessary to fulfill a contract to which the data subject is a party, as is the case, for example, with processing operations necessary for the delivery of goods or the provision of other services or consideration, the processing is based on Art. 6 I lit. b GDPR. The same applies to processing operations that are necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures, for example in cases of inquiries about our products or services. If our company is subject to a legal obligation which requires the processing of personal data, such as for the fulfillment of tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6 I lit. c GDPR. In rare cases, the processing of personal data may be necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor were injured in our company and their name, age, health insurance details or other vital information had to be passed on to a doctor, hospital or other third parties. In that case, the processing would be based on Art. 6 I lit. d GDPR. Ultimately, processing operations could be based on Art. 6 I lit. f GDPR. This legal basis is used for processing operations that are not covered by any of the aforementioned legal grounds if the processing is necessary to protect a legitimate interest of our company or a third party, provided that the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not override them. We are permitted to carry out such processing operations in particular because they were specifically mentioned by the European legislator. In this respect, the legislator took the view that a legitimate interest could be assumed if the data subject is a customer of the controller (Recital 47, Sentence 2 GDPR).

Legitimate interests in the processing pursued by the controller or a third party

If the processing of personal data is based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR, our legitimate interest is the conduct of our business activities for the benefit of the well-being of all our employees and our shareholders.

Period for which the personal data will be stored

The criterion for the duration of storage of personal data is the respective statutory retention period. After expiration of this period, the corresponding data will be routinely deleted unless it is no longer required for the fulfillment or initiation of a contract.

Legal or contractual provisions for the provision of personal data; necessity for the conclusion of the contract; obligation of the data subject to provide the personal data; possible consequences of non-provision

We would like to clarify that the provision of personal data is partly required by law (e.g. tax regulations) or can also arise from contractual provisions (e.g. information on the contractual partner). Sometimes it may be necessary for a data subject to provide us with personal data in order to conclude a contract, which must then be processed by us. For example, the data subject is obliged to provide us with personal data if our company concludes a contract with him or her. Failure to provide the personal data would mean that the contract with the data subject could not be concluded. Before the data subject provides personal data, the data subject must contact one of our employees. Our employee will clarify to the data subject on a case-by-case basis whether the provision of the personal data is required by law or contract or is necessary for the conclusion of the contract, whether there is an obligation to provide the personal data and what consequences non-provision of the personal data would have.

Existence of automated decision-making

As a responsible company, we do not use automated decision-making or profiling.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
