Data Processors

We transfer your data to service providers who support us in the operation of our websites and related processes (e.g. hosting, maintenance, programming of the websites, call center). These service providers are usually data processors within the meaning of Art. 28 GDPR. Our service providers are strictly bound by contracts and our instructions.

In addition, we transfer data to Google for the use of the services Youtube and Google Analytics and to Vimeo for the use of the video platform

Data transfer to countries outside the EU

In some cases, we transfer personal data to a third country outside the EU (see Google Analytics, Youtube and Vimeo below). However, data is only transferred if you have expressly consented to the use of these services in the cookie banner. If you do not want these service providers to contain data about you, please do not give consent for this or revoke it again.

Cookies

We use cookies on our websites. Cookies are small text files that can be placed on your computer or mobile device by websites that you visit. A distinction is made between session cookies, which are deleted as soon as you close your browser, and permanent cookies, which are stored beyond the individual session. Cookies can contain data that make it possible to recognize the device used. In some cases cookies only contain information about certain settings that cannot be related to a specific person. You can set your browser to inform you about the placement of cookies. This is in order to make the use of cookies transparent for you. You can also delete cookies or prevent the setting of new cookies at any time by using the appropriate browser settings. Please note that if you delete certain cookies, our web pages may not be displayed correctly and some functions may no longer be available.

We use essential cookies that are technically required for the operation of the website. The processing is based on Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR, in the interest of optimizing the user experience or making it safer and more effective, adapting the presentation of our website and maintaining the SSL-protected connection. In addition, we also use non-essential cookies in order to be able to embed e.g. Google Analytics (see further information below). The processing is based on your declaration of consent according to Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR. You can provide this declaration of consent via the cookie banner and manage it via the following link:

 

Your cookie consent history:

Google Analytics

We use the web analysis tool “Google Analytics” to design our websites according to your needs. Google Analytics creates user profiles based on pseudonyms. For this purpose, permanent cookies are stored on your end device and accessed out by us.  In this way we are able to recognize and measure returning visitors.

The Google Analytics tool is provided by Google Ireland Limited and Google LLC. (USA) who support us as processors according to Art. 28 GDPR. The data processing can therefore also take place outside the EU or EEA. With regard to Google LLC (USA), no adequate level of data protection can be assumed due to the processing in the USA. There is a risk that authorities may access the data for security and surveillance purposes without you being informed or having the right to appeal.

Please take this into account if you decide to give your consent to our use of Google Analytics. The legal basis for this data processing is your consent, if you have given your consent via our consent banner,

Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR. The transfer to a third country is based on your consent according to Art. 49 (1) (a) GDPR. The transfer to a third country takes place on the basis of Art. 49 (1) (a) GDPR.

You can withdraw your consent at any time. Please follow the given link under the paragraph “Cookies” – Change cookie settings.

Youtube/Vimeo – Embedded Videos

On our websites, we embed videos that are not hosted on our servers. In order to ensure that accessing our websites containing embedded videos does not automatically lead to the download of third-party content, we only show locally hosted preview images of the videos as a first step. As a result, the third-party provider does not receive any information.

Only after you click on the preview image, is content from the third-party provider downloaded. This provides the third party with information that you have accessed our site and with the usage data technically required for this purpose. Furthermore, the third party provider is then able to implement tracking technologies. We have no influence on the further data processing by the third-party provider. By clicking on the preview image, you give us your consent to download content from the third-party provider. The embedding is based on your consent if you have given your consent by clicking on the preview image.

Please note that the embedding of many videos leads to your data being processed outside the EU or EEA. In some countries, there is a risk that authorities may access the data for security and surveillance purposes without informing you or allowing you to take legal action.

Where we use providers in third countries without an adequate level of protection and you give your consent, the transfer to this third country is based on Art. 49 (1) (a) GDPR.
