We ask you to inform yourself regularly about the content of our privacy policy. We will adapt the privacy policy as soon as any changes to our data processing activities make this necessary. We will inform you as soon as these changes require an act of cooperation on your part (e.g., consent) or other individual notification.

We take appropriate technical and organizational measures in accordance with Art. 32 GDPR, taking into account the current state of the art, the cost of implementation, and the nature, scope, context, and purposes of processing as well as the risk of varying likelihood and severity for the rights and freedoms of natural persons, to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risk. These measures include, in particular, ensuring the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of data by controlling physical access to the data, as well as the access, input, disclosure, safeguarding of availability, and their separation. Furthermore, we have established procedures that guarantee the exercising of data subjects’ rights, the deletion of data, and a reaction to any threats to data security.

Subject to legal or contractual permissions, we only process or have data processed in a third country if the specific requirements of Art. 44 et seq. GDPR are met.

Unless expressly stated in this privacy policy, the data stored by us will be deleted as soon as they are no longer required for their intended purpose and the deletion does not conflict with any statutory retention obligations.

Any information stored in the customer account remains until it is deleted.

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 para. 1 lit. f. GDPR), we use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google LLC (Google). Google uses cookies (however, cookies are only used in this regard if you have actively consented to their use by clicking on them when selecting the cookies). The information generated by the cookie about the use of the online offering by the users is usually transmitted to a Google server and stored there.
16.2
Google will use this information on our behalf to analyze the use of our online offering by users, to compile reports on the activities within this online offering, and to provide us with further services associated with the use of this online offering and the use of the Internet.

We use Google Analytics to display the ads placed by Google and its partners within advertising services only to those users who have also shown an interest in our online offering or who have certain characteristics (e.g., interests in certain topics or products determined on the basis of the websites visited) that we transmit to Google (so-called “remarketing” or “Google Analytics audiences”). With the help of remarketing audiences, we also want to ensure that our ads correspond to the potential interests of users and are not annoying.
16.3
We only use Google Analytics with activated IP anonymization. This means that the IP addresses of users are truncated by Google within member states of the European Union or in other signatory states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server and truncated there.
16.4
The IP address transmitted by the user’s browser will not be merged with other Google data. Users can prevent the storage of cookies by setting their browser software accordingly.
