2. Type and purposes of data processing

In accordance with the agreement with Meta, the processing of personal data is carried out, first, in order to enable Meta to improve its system of advertising through its network. On the other hand, it is intended to enable us, as the provider of our fan page, to receive anonymous statistics that Meta automatically creates based on visits to Facebook fan pages.

Information on Meta's handling of personal data on the Facebook fan page can be found in its data policy under https://de-de.facebook.com/policy.php.

Meta describes which data Meta processes in detail, for which purposes and on what legal basis and what contact and configuration options exist in the legal basis for processing data under https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/legal_bases and in the data guidelines under https://de-de.facebook.com/policy.php. This applies to all offers of Meta products. We do not know how Meta uses the personal data generated from visiting fan pages for other purposes of its own and to what extent certain data may be assigned to specific users by Meta.

When visiting the Facebook fan page, Meta also collects IP addresses (according to Meta, in anonymized form for German IP addresses) and may set cookies. The visitor statistics (so-called insights) created on this basis, among other things, are created by Meta without our intervention and transmitted to us exclusively in anonymized form. We do not have access to the underlying data. For more information, please see the Data Policy under https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy and the Joint Controllership Agreement (https://de-de.facebook.com/legal/terms/page_controller_addendum). In order for operators of a Facebook fan page to better reach users, demographic and geographical evaluations are also created and made available to us based on the information collected by Meta. This information serves to optimize the content of our offer. Knowledge of the identity of the visitors is excluded. If visitors use Meta products on several devices, the collection and evaluation can also be carried out across devices if the visitors are registered and logged in to their own profile.

With Insights, we can only carry out anonymous evaluations based on aggregated data on the use of our meta-presence. Beyond that, we do not collect any other data from visiting our fan page.

3. Legal basis

We offer this Facebook fan page to present us to interested people who visit our fan page and to communicate with them.

The data you enter on Twitter, in particular your username and the content published under your account, will be processed by us to the extent that we may retweet or reply to your tweets or write tweets on our behalf that refer to your account or one of your tweets. We thus make the data you have freely published on X accessible in our own offer. All this is done only for the purpose and within the framework of our public relations work (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR) and in accordance with the terms of use of the service applicable to all users of the portal and thus in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b GDPR.

Use of Pinterest Tag

We use the Pinterest Tag of Pinterest Europe Limited (Pinterest Europe) on our website. For information about Pinterest Europe's contact information and Pinterest Europe's data protection officer, please refer to Pinterest Europe's Data Policy at https://policy.pinterest.com/de/privacy-policy.

The Pinterest tag is a JavaScript code snippet that allows us to track the activities of visitors to our website. Through the Pinterest Tag, information about the use (e.g. information about viewed items) is collected and transmitted to Pinterest Europe under joint responsibility by us and Pinterest Europe

With the help of the Pinterest tag, it is possible for Pinterest to determine the visitors of our online offer as the target group for the display of ads on the social media platform Pinterest (so-called "Pinterest ads"). Accordingly, we use the Pinterest tag to display the Pinterest ads placed by us only to those Pinterest users who have also shown an interest in our online offer or who have certain characteristics (e.g. interests in certain topics or products that are determined on the basis of the websites visited) that we transmit to Pinterest. With the help of the Pinterest tag, we also want to make sure that our Pinterest ads correspond to the potential interest of the users and are not harassing. The Pinterest tag also allows us to understand the effectiveness of Pinterest ads for statistical and market research purposes by seeing if users were redirected to our website after clicking on a Pinterest ad.

In some cases, information is processed that is already stored in the device you are using, or additional information is stored on the device. Such storage of information by the Pinterest tag or access to information already stored in your device will only take place with your consent. The legal basis for the collection and transfer of personal data to Pinterest Europe is therefore Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR. You can withdraw consent at any time via our consent management tool.

You can also opt out of online behavioral advertising in your personalization settings on Pinterest or under optout.aboutads.info on the AdChoices website.

You can find more information about data protection at Pinterest Europe here: https://policy.pinterest.com/de/privacy-policy.

Use of Meta-Pixel

Our website uses Meta-Pixel, an analytics service provided by Meta Platforms Ireland Limited ("Meta"), 4 Grand Canal Square, Dublin 2, Ireland.

By using Meta-Pixel, we can measure the effectiveness of ads displayed on Facebook and Instagram and thus determine how successful these ads are. Furthermore, we can also recognize information about whether you as a user were redirected to our website after "clicking" on an Instagram or Facebook advertisement. The "remarketing" feature allows us to deliver ads to the right people, which allows us to calculate our advertising costs in a more transparent way.

When you visit our website, a direct connection from his browser to the Meta servers is established. As soon as you perform an action (so-called "click event") that we want to track (so-called "conversion tracking"), certain data about you will be collected by Meta. This is used by Meta to analyze and optimize our ads. Meta collects extensive data, such as HTTP headers (IP address, information about the accessing web browser, the location of the page, the document, the referrer and, if applicable, also the person using the website, depending on whether you are logged in with your Meta account), pixel-specific data, click behavior, optional values (e.g. conversions, page type), form field names (such as email address). We do not receive any personal data from you from Meta, only anonymized campaign reports about the website audience and ad performance. We cannot control how Meta uses your data for its own purposes.

The analysis of user behaviour by meta-pixels on our website is only carried out with your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR). For information and setting options for your currently defined consents, please refer to our consent management tool:

Use of Google Ads

This website uses the online advertising service Google Ads from Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street; Dublin 4, Ireland, which allows you to be presented with advertising tailored to your interests. We use this to pursue the interest of showing you advertisements that may be of interest to you in order to make our website more interesting for you. For this purpose, statistical information about you is collected, which is processed by our advertising partners. These ads can be identified by the "Google Ads" notice in each ad.

By visiting our website, Google receives the information that you have accessed our website. To do this, Google uses a web beacon to set a cookie on your computer. We have no influence on the data collected, nor are we aware of the full scope of the data collection and the storage period. Your data will be transferred to the USA and evaluated there. If you are logged in with your Google account, your data can be assigned directly to it. If you don't want to be associated with your Google profile, you'll need to log out. It is possible that this data will be passed on to Google's contractual partners, third parties and authorities.

This site has also enabled third-party Google Ads ads. The aforementioned data may be transferred to these third-party providers (designated under https://support.google.com/dfp_sb/answer/94149).]

You can prevent the installation of Google Ads cookies in various ways: a) by setting your browser software accordingly, in particular, the suppression of third-party cookies will result in you not receiving third-party ads; b) by disabling certain ads on Google via the Block certain ads link - Ads Help (google.com), which setting will be deleted when you delete your cookies; c) by deactivating the interest-based ads of the providers that are part of the self-regulatory campaign "About Ads" via the http://www.aboutAds.info/choices link, which setting will be deleted if you delete your cookies; d) by permanently deactivating it in your Firefox, Internet Explorer or Google Chrome browsers under the link www.google.com/settings/Ads/plugin. We would like to point out that in this case you may not be able to use all the functions of this offer to their full extent.

Use of Google Maps

On this website we use the Google Maps map function of Google Ireland Limited ("Google"), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. This allows us to display an interactive map directly on the website and allows you to use it comfortably.

By visiting the website, Google receives the information that you have called up the corresponding subpage of our website. In addition, the above-mentioned data (5.1) will be transmitted. The information collected in this way is stored on servers, possibly also in the USA. This happens regardless of whether Google provides a user account that you are logged in with or whether you do not have a user account. If you're logged in to Google, your data will be directly associated with your account. If you do not want to be assigned to your profile on Google, you must log out before activating the button. Google stores your data as user profiles and uses it for the purposes of advertising, market research and/or needs-based design of its website. Such an evaluation is carried out in particular (even for users who are not logged in) for the purpose of providing needs-based advertising and to inform other users of the social network about your activities on our website. You have a right to object to the creation of these user profiles, whereby you must contact Google to exercise this.

Further information on the purpose and scope of data collection and its processing by the plug-in provider can be found in the provider's privacy policy. There you will also find more information about your rights in this regard and setting options to protect your privacy: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de.

Using Google Tag Manager

On our website, we use Google Tag Manager, a service provided by Google Ireland Limited ("Google"), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

Google Tag Manager is a service that we use to embed and manage tracking codes and associated code fragments (the so-called "tags") on our website. This allows us to configure website tags as tracking tools for analytics and marketing purposes through a user-friendly web-based interface and immediately deploy them to our website. This allows us to streamline tag deployment, reduce tag configuration errors, and instantly modify and deploy tags through a web-based user interface.

Google Tag Manager itself does not create user profiles, store cookies or carry out any independent analyses. It is only used to integrate and manage website tags. However, Google Tag Manager does collect your IP address, which can be transmitted to Google's parent company in the US.

With the help of this tag management service, we can automatically track which button, link or personalized image you have clicked on based on the tags that have been triggered. This allows us to optimize our website for you and anyone else who is interested in our products and services, and to remove irrelevant content.

The use of Google Tag Manager on our website only takes place with your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR). For information and setting options for your currently defined consent, please refer to our consent management tool.

For more information, see the Google Tag Manager Usage Guidelines at https://marketingplatform.google.com/intl/de/about/analytics/tag-manager/use-policy/

Use of Google Fonts

This website uses Google Fonts, a web service API of Google Ireland Limited ("Google"), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

By using Google Fonts, we can provide website visitors with a uniform and user-friendly presentation of our website and online offerings. When you visit our website, your browser automatically loads the required web fonts from the Google servers into the browser cache in order to display a visually improved display of our texts. To do this, your browser must connect to Google's servers, which automatically transfers your IP address to Google's servers in the US. This gives Google the information that our website has been accessed via your IP address. If your browser doesn't support this feature, or if you block access to Google's servers, your computer will use a default font to display website text.

IP addresses are not logged or stored on Google servers, and they are not analyzed. The Google Fonts Web API logs details of the HTTP requests (requested URL, user-agent, and referral URL). Access to this data is restricted and strictly controlled. To our knowledge, Google does not use any of the information collected by Google Fonts to create profiles of end users or serve targeted ads.

The use of Google Fonts on our website only takes place with your effective consent (Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR). For information and setting options for your currently defined consents, please refer to our consent management tool:

Change cookie settings

For more information about Google Fonts, see https://developers.google.com/fonts, in the Google's privacy policy at https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/ and in the Google API Terms of Service at https://developers.google.com/terms.

Use of YouTube DE plugins

Our website uses the plugin function of the YouTubeDE platform of Google Ireland Limited ("Google"), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

To our knowledge, personal data is not stored. However, if you are logged into your YouTube account, you would allow YouTube to assign your Internet browsing history directly to your personal profile.

You have the option to deactivate this assignment if you log out of your account beforehand.

Du widerrufst eine ggf. bestehende Einwilligung, auf die sich die Verarbeitung gem. Art. 6 Abs. 1 S. 1 lit. a oder Art. 9 Abs. 2 S.1 lit. a DSGVO stützte, und es fehlt an einer anderweitigen Rechtsgrundlage für die weitere Verarbeitung. Du legst gem.
