Martina Ledermann

Your rights as a data subject

You can exercise the following rights at any time using the contact details provided by our data protection officer:

• Information about your data stored by us and their processing,
• rectification of inaccurate personal data,
• Deletion of your data stored by us,
• Restriction of data processing, if we are not yet allowed to delete your data due to legal obligations,
• Objection to the processing of your data by us and
• Data portability, if you have consented to data processing or have concluded a contract with us.

If you have given us your consent, you can revoke it at any time with effect for the future.

You can contact the supervisory authority responsible for you at any time with a complaint. Your competent supervisory authority depends on the federal state of your residence, your work or the alleged infringement. A list of supervisory authorities (for the non-public sector) with addresses can be found at: https://www.bfdi.bund.de/DE/Infothek/Anschriften_Links/anschriften_links-node.html.

Purposes of data processing by the responsible body and third parties

We process your personal data only for the purposes stated in this privacy policy. Your personal data will not be transmitted to third parties for purposes other than those mentioned. We will only share your personal information with third parties if:

• you have given your explicit consent,
• the processing is necessary for the execution of a contract with you,
• the processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation,

the processing is necessary to safeguard legitimate interests and there is no reason to assume that you have an overriding legitimate interest in not disclosing your data.

Cookies

Like many other websites, we also use so-called “cookies”. Cookies are small text files that are transferred from a website server to your hard drive. This automatically provides us with certain data such as IP address, browser used, operating system and your connection to the Internet.

Cookies cannot be used to launch programs or transmit viruses to a computer. Based on the information contained in cookies, we can facilitate your navigation and enable the correct display of our websites.

Under no circumstances will the data collected by us be passed on to third parties or linked to personal data without your consent.

Of course, you can also view our website without cookies. Internet browsers are regularly set to accept cookies. In general, you can disable the use of cookies at any time through the settings of your browser. Please use the help functions of your Internet browser to learn how to change these settings. Please note that individual functions of our website may not work if you have disabled the use of cookies.

Provision of fee-based services

In order to provide fee-based services, we request additional data, such as payment details, in order to be able to execute your order. We store this data in our systems until the statutory retention periods have expired.

Use of script libraries (Google Webfonts)

In order to display our content correctly and graphically appealing across browsers, we use script libraries and font libraries such as Google Webfonts (https://www.google.com/webfonts/) on this website. Google Webfonts are transferred to the cache of your browser to avoid multiple loading. If the browser does not support Google Webfonts or prevents access, content will be displayed in a standard font.

The call of script libraries or font libraries automatically triggers a connection to the operator of the library. It is theoretically possible – but currently also unclear whether and, if so, for what purposes – that operators of such libraries collect data.

The privacy policy of the library operator Google can be found here: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/

Changes to our Privacy Policy

We reserve the right to adapt this data protection declaration so that it always complies with current legal requirements or to implement changes to our services in the data protection declaration, e.g. when introducing new services. The new privacy policy will then apply to your next visit.

Social Plugins

On our website we offer you the possibility of using so-called “social media buttons”. To protect your data, we rely on the “Shariff” solution during implementation. As a result, these buttons are only integrated on the website as a graphic that contains a link to the corresponding website of the button provider. By clicking on the graphic, you will be redirected to the services of the respective providers. Only then will your data be sent to the respective providers. If you do not click on the graphic, there is no exchange between you and the providers of the social media buttons. Information about the collection and use of your data in the social networks can be found in the respective terms of use of the respective providers. More information about the Shariff solution can be found here: http://www.heise.de/ct/artikel/Shariff-Social-Media-Buttons-mit-Datenschutz-2467514.html

We have integrated the social media buttons of the following companies on our website:

Privacy policy

Definitions

The terms used in the following include those from Article 4 of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

Name and address of the controller

The controller within the meaning of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and other national data protection laws of the member states as well as other data protection regulations is the manufacturer of this plugin specified in the imprint.

General information on data processing

Scope of processing of personal data

We process personal data of our users only insofar as this is necessary to provide a functional plugin. The processing of personal data of our users takes place regularly only with the consent of the user. An exception applies in cases where prior consent cannot be obtained for factual reasons and the processing of the data is permitted by law.

Legal basis for the processing of personal data

Insofar as we obtain the consent of the data subject for the processing of personal data, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) serves  as the legal basis.

For the processing of personal data necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR serves as the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations that are necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures.

Insofar as the processing of personal data is necessary to fulfil a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR serves as the legal basis.

In the event that vital interests of the data subject or another natural person require the processing of personal data, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. d GDPR serves as the legal basis.

If processing is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest of our company or a third party and if the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not outweigh the first-mentioned interest, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR serves as the legal basis for the processing.

Data deletion and storage duration

The personal data of the data subject will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of storage ceases to apply. Storage may also take place if this has been provided for by the European or national legislator in EU regulations, laws or other provisions to which the person responsible is subject. The data will also be blocked or deleted if a storage period prescribed by the aforementioned standards expires, unless there is a need for further storage of the data for the conclusion or fulfilment of a contract.

Data transmission

The data transmission on the Internet to our server takes place via HTTPS and TLS protocol in an encrypted manner. An unencrypted transmission is not possible on the part of our server. The data is encrypted by our plugin or your web browser, then transmitted and finally decrypted by our server.

Provision of the plugin

Description and scope of data processing

The plugin does not send any data to the manufacturer without the user’s consent. Data that can be sent to the manufacturer is listed below. The plugin does not create or collect usage data.

Check function for counting marks

Description and scope of data processing

You have the possibility to have the counting marks integrated by the plugin on your website checked by us. This is done via the “Check” link, which can be found in several places in the plugin. If you click on this check link, the following data will be sent to our server:

• through your access with a web browser:
  • information about the type of web browser and version used,
  • the user’s operating system,
  • the IP address of the user,
  • date and time of access,
  • the website from which the user’s system reaches our server,
• Data contained in the check link:
  • the public counting mark,
  • the link to the website (WordPress post/page) where the counter should be located.

The data sent to a web browser by your access is only stored in the log files of our system if an error occurs during the corresponding page call. This does not affect the IP address of the user or other data that enables the assignment of the data to a user.

The data contained in the check link is used by our server to test whether the public counter is located on the website (WordPress post/page) contained in the check link.

We temporarily store the user’s IP address exclusively to determine how often the user uses the check function within a time interval.

A storage of this data together with other personal data of the user does not take place.

Legal basis for data processing

The legal basis for the temporary storage of the data is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f or a GDPR.

Purpose of data processing

The temporary storage of the IP address by the server is necessary to enable delivery of the accessed website to the user’s computer. For this purpose, the IP address of the user must remain stored for the duration of the session.

The temporary storage of the data in the check link is required to perform the check.

We temporarily store the user’s IP address exclusively to protect our check function against misuse (excessive use).

Duration of storage

The data will be deleted as soon as they are no longer necessary to achieve the purpose for which they were collected. In the case of the collection of data to provide the check function for counting marks, this is the case when the respective session has ended. There is no permanent storage.

We store the user’s IP address for a maximum of one day to protect our system.

Possibility of objection and removal

The storage of data in log files in the event of an error is absolutely necessary for the operation of the check function for counting marks. Consequently, there is no possibility of objection on the part of the user.

The storage of the user’s IP address is absolutely necessary to protect our system. Consequently, there is no possibility of objection on the part of the user.

The user can activate the use of the check function for counting marks via a checkbox in the “Privacy” area/menu in order to be able to use it, or deactivate it in order to object to the use. By default, this check box is cleared.

Rights of the data subject

If your personal data is processed, you are a data subject within the meaning of the GDPR and you have the following rights vis-à-vis the controller:

Right

You may request confirmation from the controller as to whether personal data concerning you is being processed by us. If such processing exists, you can request information from the controller about the following information:

• the purposes for which the personal data are processed,
• the categories of personal data processed,
• the recipients or categories of recipients to whom the personal data concerning you have been or will be disclosed,
• the planned duration of storage of the personal data concerning you or, if specific information on this is not possible, criteria for determining the storage period,
• the existence of a right to rectification or erasure of personal data concerning you, a right to restriction of processing by the controller or a right to object to such processing,
• the existence of a right of appeal to a supervisory authority,
• any available information as to the origin of the data, where the personal data are not collected from the data subject;
• the existence of automated decision-making, including profiling, referred to in Article 22(1) and (4) GDPR and, at least in those cases, meaningful information about the logic involved, as well as the significance and envisaged consequences of such processing for the data subject.

You have the right to request information as to whether the personal data concerning you is transferred to a third country or to an international organisation. In this context, you may request to be informed of the appropriate guarantees pursuant to Article 46 GDPR in connection with the transfer.

Right to rectification

You have a right to rectification and/or completion vis-à-vis the controller if the personal data processed concerning you is incorrect or incomplete. The controller must make the correction without delay.

Right to restriction of processing

Under the following conditions, you may request the restriction of the processing of personal data concerning you:

• if you contest the accuracy of the personal data concerning you for a period of time that enables the controller to verify the accuracy of the personal data,
• the processing is unlawful and you oppose the deletion of the personal data and instead request the restriction of the use of the personal data,
• the controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of the processing, but you need them to assert, exercise or defend legal claims, or
• if you have objected to processing pursuant to Article 21 (1) GDPR pending the verification whether the legitimate grounds of the controller override yours.

If the processing of personal data concerning you has been restricted, these data may only be processed – with the exception of their storage – with your consent or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interest of the Union or of a Member State.

If the restriction of processing has been restricted in accordance with the above-mentioned conditions, you will be informed by the controller before the restriction is lifted.

Right to erasure

Obligation to delete:

You may obtain from the controller the erasure of personal data concerning you without undue delay and the controller is obliged to erase such data without undue delay if one of the following reasons applies:

• the personal data concerning you are no longer necessary for the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed,
• You revoke your consent on which the processing was based pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a or Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a GDPR, and there is no other legal basis for the processing,
• You object to the processing pursuant to Article 21 (1) GDPR and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing, or you object to the processing pursuant to Article 21 (2) GDPR,
• the personal data concerning you have been unlawfully processed,
• the deletion of personal data concerning you is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation under Union law or the law of the Member States to which the controller is subject,
• the personal data concerning you have been collected in relation to the offer of information society services referred to in Article 8 (1) GDPR.

Information to third parties:

If the controller has made the personal data concerning you public and is obliged pursuant to Article 17 (1) GDPR to erase them, the controller, taking account of available technology and the cost of implementation, shall take reasonable steps, including technical measures, to inform controllers processing the personal data that you, as the data subject, have requested the erasure of all links to these  personal data or copies or replications of such personal data.

Exceptions:

The right to erasure does not exist if processing is necessary:

• to exercise the right to freedom of expression and information,
• for compliance with a legal obligation which requires processing under Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject or for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller,
• for reasons of public interest in the field of public health pursuant to Art. 9 para. 2 lit. h and i and Art. 9 para. 3 GDPR,
• for archiving purposes in the public interest, scientific or historical research purposes or for statistical purposes pursuant to Article 89 (1) GDPR, insofar as the right referred to in section a) is likely to render impossible or seriously impair the achievement of the objectives of such processing, or
• to assert, exercise or defend legal claims.

Right to information

If you have asserted your right to rectification, erasure or restriction of processing vis-à-vis the controller, the controller is obliged to inform all recipients to whom the personal data concerning you have been disclosed of this rectification or erasure of the data or restriction of processing, unless this proves impossible or involves disproportionate effort.

You have the right vis-à-vis the controller to be informed about these recipients.

Right to data portability

You have the right to receive the personal data concerning you, which you have provided to the controller, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. In addition, you have the right to transmit this data to another controller without hindrance from the controller to whom the personal data have been provided, provided that:

• the processing is based on consent pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR or Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a GDPR or on a contract pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR and
• the processing is carried out by automated means.

In exercising this right, you also have the right to have the personal data concerning you transmitted directly from one controller to another, insofar as this is technically feasible. The freedoms and rights of other persons must not be adversely affected by this.

The right to data portability does not apply to the processing of personal data necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller.

Right to object

You have the right, for reasons arising from your particular situation, to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you, which is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. e or f GDPR; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions.

The controller shall no longer process the personal data concerning you unless he can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.

If the personal data concerning you are processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you for the purpose of such advertising; this also applies to profiling to the extent that it is associated with such direct marketing.

If you object to processing for direct marketing purposes, the personal data concerning you will no longer be processed for these purposes.

In connection with the use of information society services, and notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC, you have the possibility to exercise your right to object by automated means using technical specifications.

Right to revoke the declaration of consent under data protection law

You have the right to revoke your declaration of consent under data protection law at any time. The revocation of consent does not affect the legality of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent until the revocation.

Automated individual decision-making, including profiling

You have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affects you. This provision shall not apply where the decision

• is necessary for the conclusion or performance of a contract between you and the controller,
• is permitted by Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject and which also lays down suitable measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, or
• with your explicit consent.

However, these decisions may not be based on special categories of personal data pursuant to Article 9 (1) GDPR, unless Article 9 (2) (a) or (g) GDPR applies and appropriate measures have been taken to protect your rights and freedoms and legitimate interests.

With regard to the aforementioned cases, the controller shall implement suitable measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, at least the right to obtain human intervention on the part of the controller, to express his or her point of view and contest the decision.

Right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority

Without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of your habitual residence, place of work or place of the alleged infringement, if you believe that the processing of personal data concerning you infringes the GDPR.

The supervisory authority to which the complaint has been lodged shall inform the complainant of the status and results of the complaint, including the possibility of a judicial remedy pursuant to Article 78 GDPR.

1. Google Analytics
   1. We have integrated the website analysis tool “Google Analytics” (Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheater Parkway, Mountainview, California 94043, USA, EU branch: Google Dublin, Google Ireland Ltd., Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland) on our website.
   2. When you visit our website, Google places a cookie on your computer in order to be able to analyse your use of our website. The data obtained will be transferred to the USA and stored there. If personal data is transferred to the USA, Google’s certification in accordance with the Privacy Shield Agreement (https://www.privacyshield.gov/EU-US-Framework) guarantees compliance with European data protection law.
   3. We have activated the IP anonymization “anonymizeIP”, whereby the IP addresses are only processed in abbreviated form. On this website, your IP address will therefore be shortened beforehand by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide other services related to website activity and internet usage to the controller. We have also activated the cross-device analysis of website visitors, which is carried out via a so-called user ID. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data. The use of Google Analytics serves the purpose of analyzing, optimizing and improving our website.
   4. The legal basis for this is our legitimate interest in data processing in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f) GDPR, which also lies in the above purposes.
   5. The data sent by us and linked to cookies, user IDs (e.g. user ID) or advertising IDs will be automatically deleted after 12 months. The deletion of data whose retention period has been reached takes place automatically once a month.
   6. Further information on the use of data by Google Analytics can be found here: https://www.google.com/analytics/terms/de.html (Terms of Use of Analytics), https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245?hl=de (Privacy Policy  at Analytics) and Google’s Privacy Policy https://policies.google.com/privacy.
   7. Objection and “opt-out”: You can generally prevent cookies from being stored on your hard drive by selecting “do not accept cookies” in your browser settings. However, this may result in a functional restriction of our offers. You can also prevent Google from collecting the data generated by the cookie and relating to your use of the website and from processing this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available under the following link: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de
   8. As an alternative to the browser plug-in above, you can prevent Google Analytics from collecting data by clicking [ga-optout text=”Disable Google Analytics”]. By clicking on this, an “opt-out” cookie is set, which prevents the collection of your data when visiting this website in the future. This cookie is only valid for our website and your current browser and only lasts until you delete your cookies. In this case, you would have to set the cookie again.
   9. You can deactivate cross-device user analysis in your Google account under “My data > personal data”.

YouTube videos

1. 1. We have integrated YouTube videos from youtube.com on our website using the embedded function so that they can be accessed directly on our website. YouTube belongs to Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheater Parkway, Mountainview, California 94043, USA, EU branch: Google Dublin, Google Ireland Ltd., Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.  We have integrated the videos in the so-called “extended data protection mode” without cookies

s usage behavior is collected to personalize video playback. Instead, the video recommendations are based on the currently playing video. Videos played in an embedded player in enhanced privacy mode don’t affect which videos are recommended to you on YouTube. When you start a video (click on the video), YouTube receives the information that you have accessed the corresponding subpage of our website. The data obtained will be transferred to the USA and stored there. This can also be done without a user account with Google. If you are logged into your Google account, Google can assign the above data to your account. If you do not want this, you must log out of your Google account. Google creates user profiles from such data and uses this data for the purpose of advertising, market research or optimization of its websites.

1. The legal basis for this is our legitimate interest in data processing in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f) GDPR, which also lies in the above purposes.
2. You have the right to object to the creation of user profiles vis-à-vis Google. Therefore, please contact Google directly via the privacy policy below. You can opt-out with regard to advertising cookies here in your Google account:
   https://adssettings.google.com/authenticated.
3. In YouTube’s terms of use at https://www.youtube.com/t/terms and  in Google’s privacy policy for advertising at https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads you will find further information on the use of Google cookies and their advertising technologies, storage duration, anonymization, location data, functionality and your rights. Google’s general privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy.
4. Google is certified according to the EU-US Privacy Shield (https://www.privacyshield.gov/EU-US-Framework) and therefore obliged to comply with European data protection law.

Google ReCAPTCHA

1. We have integrated the anti-spam function “reCAPTCHA” from “Google” (Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheater Parkway, Mountainview, California 94043, USA, EU branch: Google Dublin, Google Ireland Ltd., Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland) on our website. By using “reCAPTCHA” in our forms, we can determine whether the input was made by a machine (robot) or a human. When using the service, your IP address and any other data required for this purpose may be transmitted to Google servers in the USA.
2. The purpose of processing this data is to prevent spam and misuse as well as our economic interest in optimizing our website.
3. The legal basis for this is our legitimate interest in data processing in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f) GDPR, which also lies in the above purposes.
4. Google is certified under the Privacy Shield Agreement (https://www.privacyshield.gov/EU-US-Framework). This ensures that European data protection law is complied with.
5. Further information can be found on Google ReCAPTCHA at https://www.google.com/recaptcha/ and in Google’s privacy policy at: https://policies.google.com/privacy.
