  2. In the course of these analyses, we are able to take account of the profiles of registered Users on the basis of information, such as the services they have used. These analyses help us to improve user-friendliness, to optimize our services and to increase the profitability of our business. These analyses are used by us alone and will not be disclosed to external persons unless the analyses are anonymous and contain aggregated values.
  3. If these analyses or profiles contain personal information, they are deleted or anonymized when the User terminates his or her registration, or three years following conclusion of contract. Moreover, overall business analyses and the general identification of trends are performed anonymously wherever possible.

  1. Cookies are small files which are stored on Users’ computers. Stored cookies can contain a variety of information. Cookies are primarily used to store information about a User (or the device on which the cookies are stored) during or after the User’s visit to our Web Presence. Temporary cookies (also called “session cookies” or “transient cookies”) are cookies which are deleted when the User leaves a website and closes his or her browser. Cookies such as these may store, for example, the contents of the User’s shopping basket at an online shop, or his or her login status. “Permanent” or “persistent” cookies are cookies which remain stored even after the User has closed his or her browser. These cookies may, for example, store the User’s login status for when he or she visits the website in the future. Such cookies may also store the User’s interests, which can be used for measuring reach or for marketing purposes. “Third party cookies” are cookies provided by online providers other than the person responsible for the website in question (cookies provided by the operator of the website itself are referred to as “first-party cookies”).
  2. We may use both temporary and permanent cookies; our use of these cookies is described in our Privacy Policy.
  3. If users wish to prevent cookies from being stored on their computers, we ask that they deactivate the corresponding settings in their browser’s system settings. Cookies which have already been stored can be deleted in the browser’s system settings. Preventing the storage of cookies may result in reduced functionality of our Web Presence.
  4. You can perform a general opt-out for a large number of these services, in particular tracking, which use cookies for online marketing purposes by visiting the US website aboutads.info or the EU website youronlinechoices.com. Storage of these cooking can also be prevented by turning off the corresponding settings in your browser. Please note, however, that doing this may prevent you from using all of the functions of our Web Presence.
  5. If we request that users accept the use of cookies, the legal basis for the processing of their information is the provision of consent in accordance with Art. 6 Par. 1 lit. a of the GDPR. Furthermore, this processing of information is performed on the basis of our legitimate interest, as per Art. 6 Par. 1 lit. f of the GDPR, in the user-centered and economically efficient operation of our Web Presence.
  6. The online marketing services used by us, and the cookies they employ, are described below.

Google Tag Manager is a tag management solution which enables us to manage website tags (e.g. so that we can use Google Analytics and other Google marketing services on our Web Presence). Google Tag Manager itself (which implements the tags) does not collect or process personal User data. For information regarding the Collection and Processing of personal User data by these Google services, please refer to the page linked below. Use Policy: tagmanager/use-policy.

  1. We use Google Analytics, a web analytics service operated by Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, United States (“Google”).
  2. Google uses cookies. Information generated by cookies regarding users’ use of our Web Presence is normally sent to, and stored on, a Google server located in the United States.
  3. Google is a certified Privacy Shield company and hence guarantees that its Collection and Processing of information conforms to European and Swiss data protection laws (privacyshield.gov).
  4. Google uses this information on our behalf to analyze User behavior on our Web Presence, to create reports about User activity on our Web Presence, and to provide us with other services related to the use of our Web Presence and of the internet. The data collected and processed by Google may be used to generate pseudonymous usage profiles for users.
  5. We use Google Analytics exclusively with IP anonymization. This means that users’ IP addresses are truncated by Google in a member state of the European Union or another contracting party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address sent to a Google server located in the United States before being truncated.
  6. Google does not associate the IP address transmitted by the User’s browser with other data. Users can prevent cookies from being stored by changing the corresponding settings in their browser software; users can also prevent Google from collecting and processing data generated by cookies regarding their use of our Web Presence by downloading and installing the plug-in under the following link:  tools.google.com.
  7. More information about the data protection measures used by Google, and the settings and opt-out options available, can be found in Google’s privacy policy (policies.google.com/technologies/ads) as well as in Google’s display ad settings (adssettings.google).
  8. Users’ personal data are deleted or anonymized after 14 months.
    1. We operate online pages on social networks and platforms in order to communicate with our customers, prospective customers and users and to provide information about our services.
    2. In the course of using these pages, users’ data may be sent outside of the European Union and Switzerland for processing. This may present risks for users, as it may become difficult for them to exercise their rights. Note that US providers which are certified Privacy Shield companies are obligated to act in accordance with the data privacy standards of the EU and Switzerland.
    3. User data are normally also collected and processed for marketing research and advertising purposes. These data may be used, for example, to generate usage profiles based on users’ online behavior and based on interests which can be identified as a result of this behavior. These usage profiles may in turn be used to display advertisements presumably corresponding to the users’ interests both within and beyond the platforms in question. To this end, cookies containing behavioral and interest-related data are normally stored on the users’ computers. Furthermore, data may be stored to these usage profiles regardless of what device users are using (in particular if users are members of the platform in question and are logged in).
    4. Users’ personal data are collected and processed on the basis of our legitimate interest in having effective User information and communication with users. In the event users are asked to agree to the Collection and Processing of data by these providers (i.e. to declare consent, for example, by means of checking a box or clicking a button), the declaration of consent serves as the legal basis for Collection and Processing.
    5. Please note that requests for information and the exercising of User rights with regard to the Collection and Processing of personal data are best taken up with the providers themselves. The providers alone have access to these User data and are able to directly take appropriate measures and provide requested information. Should you require help despite your efforts to get in touch with these providers, you may contact us.
    6. For detailed information about the data Collection and Processing activities of each provider and the opt-out options available to you, please refer to the links provided below:
    1. We use third-party content and service offerings within our Web Presence in order to embed content and services, e.g. videos and fonts (hereinafter referred to collectively as “Content”).
    2. This requires that the third-party providers of this Content detect users’ IP addresses in order to send the Content to their browsers. The IP address is hence necessary for the display of this Content. We endeavor to only use Content which is supplied by providers who detect and use IP addresses only for the delivery of the Content. Third-party providers may also use pixel tags (transparent graphics also known as “web beacons”) for statistical or marketing purposes. Web beacons enable the analysis of information, such as User traffic, on our website. This pseudonymous information may also be stored in cookies on the User’s device and may contain technical information regarding the User’s browser and operating system, referring websites, time of visit and other information related to the use of our Web Presence and may also be associated with information of this type from other sources.
    3. If we request that users accept the use of third-party services and content, the legal basis for the processing of their information is the provision of consent in accordance with Art. 6 Par. 1 lit. a of the GDPR. Furthermore, this processing of information is performed on the basis of our legitimate interest, as per Art. 6 Par. 1 lit. f of the GDPR, in the user-centered and economically efficient operation of our Web Presence.

  1. The information provided below is intended to explain the content, registration process, delivery procedure, statistical analyses and opt-out rights of our newsletter. By subscribing to our newsletter, you consent to receiving the newsletter and to the processes and procedures described here.
  2. We send newsletters, emails and other electronic messages containing promotional information (hereinafter referred to as “Newsletter”) only if users have consented to receiving these or if we have a legal allowance to do so. If the contents of the Newsletter are described concretely when the User subscribes to it, these contents are relevant to the User’s consent. Our Newsletters also contain information regarding our offers, services and promotions as well as information about foreign languages and translation.
  3. Our Newsletter uses a double opt-in procedure for subscriptions. This means that you are sent an email requesting you to confirm your subscription. This confirmation step is necessary to prevent users from subscribing to our Newsletter with someone else’s email address. Subscriptions to our Newsletter are logged in order to provide verification of the subscription process in accordance with the relevant legal requirements. The information logged includes the time at which the subscription request was submitted and the time at which the subscription request was confirmed. We also log changes made to your data stored by the email delivery service provider.
  4. Subscribing to our Newsletter only requires that you provide a valid email address. We may also request that you provide your name so that we can address you personally in the Newsletter.
  5. Delivery of our Newsletter and measurement of our Newsletter’s performance are performed on the basis of the User’s consent or, in the event consent is not required, on the basis of our legitimate interest in direct marketing.
  6. Logging of the subscription process is performed on the basis of our legitimate interest. Our interest is in providing a newsletter system which is user-friendly and secure and which serves our commercial interests, meets users’ expectations and enables us to demonstrate the provision of consent.
  7. Users can unsubscribe (i.e. withdraw their consent) from our Newsletter at any time. An unsubscribe link is provided at the bottom of each Newsletter. On the basis of our legitimate interest, we may continue to store email addresses which have been removed from our subscription list for up to three years before we delete them in order to be able to demonstrate that consent was previously provided. These data are only processed for the purpose of defending ourselves against potential claims. Individual requests for deletion may be submitted at any time, provided confirmation of the User’s previous provision of consent is also given.
  1. Our Newsetter is delivered by MailChimp, an email delivery platform operated by Rocket Science Group, LLC, 675 Ponce De Leon Ave NE #5000, Atlanta, GA 30308, United States. MailChimp’s privacy policy can be found here: mailchimp.com/legal. Rocket Science Group LLC d/b/a MailChimp is a Privacy Shield company and hence guarantees that its Collection and Processing of data conforms to European data privacy protection standards (privacyshield.gov). We use MailChimp on the basis of our legitimate interest in accordance with Art. 6 Par. 1 lit. f of the GDPR as well as on the basis of a processing agreement in accordance with Art. 28 Par. 3 Sent. 1 of the GDPR.
  2. MailChimp may use the recipient’s data in pseudonymous form (i.e. without associating the data with the User) in order to optimize or improve its own services. For example, MailChimp may use these data to make technical optimizations to the delivery and display of newsletters or for statistical purposes. However, MailChimp does not use the data of our newsletter recipients in order to contact them or in order to forward the data to third parties.
    1. Our Newsletters contain web beacons, i.e. pixel-sized files which are retrieved from our server or from the server of a delivery service provider (if one is used), when the Newsletter is opened. In the course of this retrieval, technical information, such as browser and system information, your IP address and the current date and time, are collected.
    2. This information is used to make technical improvements to the services, on the basis of the technical information, or to the target audiences and their reading behavior, on the basis of their location (which can be identified using their IP address) and the date and time at which the web beacon is retrieved. The data collected for statistical purposes also serves to identify whether the recipient opens the Newsletter, the date and time at which the Newsletter is opened, and which links the User clicks on. For technical reasons, this information may indeed be directly associated with individual Newsletter recipients. However, it is not our aim, nor is it the aim of the delivery service provider, to observe and monitor individual users. Rather, these analyses help us to identify the reading habits of our users and to modify our content in accordance with these habits, or to send a variety of content which corresponds to the interests of our users.
    3. It is not possible to separately opt out of the collection and analysis of Newsletter performance metrics; in this case, the subscription to the Newsletter must be canceled in full.
