Privacy Policy

Unless otherwise stated below, the provision of your personal data is neither legally nor contractually required, nor is it necessary for the conclusion of a contract.

The processing is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR from our overriding legitimate interest in ensuring trouble-free operation of our website and improving our offer.

Advertising Tracking

Use of Meta Pixel

We use the Meta Pixel of Meta Platforms Ireland Limited (4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland; "Meta") on our website.

Meta and we are jointly responsible for the collection of your data and transmission of this data to Meta when the service is integrated. The basis for this is an agreement between us and Meta on the joint processing of personal data, in which the respective responsibilities are defined. The agreement can be accessed at https://www.facebook.com/legal/terms/businesstools. According to this, we are particularly responsible for fulfilling the information obligations according to Art. 13, 14 GDPR, for complying with the security requirements of Art. 32 GDPR with regard to the correct technical implementation and configuration of the service, and for complying with the obligations according to Art. 33, 34 GDPR, insofar as a violation of the protection of personal data affects our obligations according to the agreement on joint processing. Meta is responsible for enabling the data subject rights according to Art. 15 - 20 GDPR, for complying with the security requirements of Art. 32 GDPR with regard to the security of the service, and for complying with the obligations according to Art. 33, 34 GDPR, insofar as a violation of the protection of personal data affects Meta's obligations according to the agreement on joint processing.

The application serves the purpose of targeting website visitors with interest-based advertising on the social networks Facebook and Instagram. For this purpose, the Meta remarketing tag has been implemented on the website. When you visit the website, this tag establishes a direct connection to the Meta servers. This transmits to the Meta server which of our pages you have visited. Meta assigns this information to your personal Facebook and/or Instagram user account. When you visit the social networks Facebook or Instagram, you will then be shown personalized, interest-based ads.

The application also serves the purpose of creating conversion statistics. In this context, we learn the total number of users who clicked on one of our ads and were redirected to a page with a conversion tracking tag, as well as what actions are taken on this website after the redirect. However, we do not receive any information with which users can be personally identified.

Your data may be transmitted to the USA. For the USA, there is an adequacy decision by the EU Commission, the Trans-Atlantic Data Privacy Framework (TADPF). Meta has certified itself under the TADPF and is thus committed to complying with European data protection principles.

The processing of your personal data takes place with your consent on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. You can revoke your consent at any time, without affecting the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.
You can deactivate the remarketing function "Custom Audiences" here. Further information on the collection and use of data by Meta, about your rights in this regard and options for protecting your privacy can be found in Meta's privacy policy at https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/.

Use of Google Ads Conversion Tracking
We use the online advertising program "Google Ads" on our website and conversion tracking (visit action evaluation) within this framework. Google Conversion Tracking is an analysis service of Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland; Google).
When you click on an ad placed by Google, a cookie for conversion tracking is placed on your computer. These cookies have a limited validity, contain no personal data and therefore do not serve for personal identification. If you visit certain pages of our website and the cookie has not yet expired, Google and we can recognize that you clicked on the ad and were redirected to this page. Each Google Ads customer receives a different cookie. Thus, there is no possibility that cookies can be tracked across the websites of Ads customers.
The information collected using the conversion cookie is used to create conversion statistics. In this context, we learn the total number of users who clicked on one of our ads and were redirected to a page with a conversion tracking tag. However, we do not receive any information with which users can be personally identified.

The cookies record visits to the website as well as anonymized data about the use of the website. No personal data of website visitors is stored. If you subsequently visit another website in the Google Display Network, you will be shown advertisements that are likely to take into account previously accessed product and information areas.
Your data may be transmitted to servers of Google LLC in the USA. For the USA, there is an adequacy decision by the EU Commission, the Trans-Atlantic Data Privacy Framework (TADPF).
