  4. This website uses Google Analytics with the extension “_anonymizeIp()”. As a result, IP addresses are further processed in abbreviated form, so that a personal relationship can be ruled out. As far as the data collected about you is personal, it will be excluded immediately and the personal data will be deleted immediately.
  5. We use Google Analytics to analyse and regularly improve the use of our website. The statistics we collect allow us to improve our services and make them more interesting for you as a user. For the exceptional cases in which personal data is transferred to the USA, Google has submitted to the EU-US Privacy Shield, https://www.privacyshield.gov/EU-US-Framework.

IV. Data protection policy for online advertising

§ 1 Use of Google Adwords Conversion

  1. We use the advertising services provided by Google Adwords (known as Google Adwords) to make people aware of our appealing services on external websites. By analysing the data pertaining to the advertising campaigns, we are able to establish how successful the individual advertising measures are. In doing so, we are pursuing the aim of presenting you with advertising that is of interest to you, that makes our website more interesting for you and that provides us with good value for money.
  2. This means of advertising is delivered by Google using what are known as “Ad Servers”. In addition, we use Ad Server cookies that make it possible to analyse certain performance measurement parameters such as ad impressions or clicks by the users. If you arrive at our website by clicking on a Google ad, a cookie will be saved on your PC by Google Adwords. These cookies typically lose their validity after 30 days and should not be used to identify you personally. As analysis values, the unique cookie ID, the number of ad impressions per placement (frequency), the most recent impression (relevant for post-view conversions) and opt-out information (marking that indicates that the user no longer wishes to be targeted) are typically saved to this cookie.
  3. These cookies enable Google to recognise your internet browser. If a user visits certain web pages of the Adwords customer’s website and the cookie saved on his/her computer has not yet expired, the customer and Google will be able to recognise that the user has clicked on the ad and has been redirected to this web page. A different cookie is assigned to each Adwords customer. As such, cookies cannot be tracked via the websites of Adwords customers. We ourselves do not collect and process any personal data by means of the abovementioned advertising measures. Google merely provides us with statistical analysis. We can use this analysis to ascertain which of the advertising measures used are particularly effective. Using these advertising measures does not provide us with any additional data. Most notably, this information does not enable us to identify users.
  4. On account of the marketing tools used, your browser automatically establishes a direct connection to Google’s server. We have no control over the scope and the subsequent use of the data collected by Google via this tool and would therefore like to clarify how we believe the system works: when AdWords Conversion is set up on the website, Google receives the information that you have accessed a specific section of our website or have clicked on one of our ads. Provided you have signed up to one of Google’s services, Google will be able to associate the visit with your account. Even if you are not registered with Google or have not logged in, there is the possibility that the provider will come to know your IP address and save it.
  5. There are different ways to avoid participating in this tracking procedure: a) by adjusting your browser software settings – most notably, rejecting third-party cookies means that you will not receive any ads from third-party providers; b) by deactivating cookies for conversion tracking by setting up your browser to block cookies from the domain “www.googleadservices.com”, https://www.google.de/settings/ads, although this setting will be erased if you delete your cookies; c) by deactivating interest-based ads from providers that belong to the self-regulation campaign “About Ads” via the link http://www.aboutads.info/choices, although this setting will be erased if you delete your cookies; d) by means of permanent deactivation in your Firefox, Internet Explorer or Google Chrome browsers via the link http://www.google.com/settings/ads/plugin. If you opt to take this approach, we would like to point out that you may not be able to use all functions of this website to the full extent.
  6. The legal basis for the processing of your data is Art. 6 Para. 1 Sentence 1 item f of EU-GDPR. Further information on data protection at Google can be found here: http://www.google.com/intl/de/policies/privacy and https://services.google.com/sitestats/de.html. Alternatively, you can visit the website of the Network Advertising Initiative (NAI) at http://www.networkadvertising.org. Google has submitted to the EU-US Privacy Shield, https://www.privacyshield.gov/EU-US-Framework.

 

§ 2 Remarketing

In addition to Adwords Conversion, we also use the application Google Remarketing. This is a system that enables us to reach out to you again. By using this application, we can arrange for our advertisements to appear on your screen while you are using the internet after leaving our website. This is achieved using cookies that are saved in your browser. These cookies are used by Google to capture and evaluate your user behaviour when visiting different websites. As such, Google can tell that you visited our website previously. Google has stated that they do not pool data acquired in the remarketing process with any personal data that they might have saved. Most notably, Google has stated that they use pseudonymisation in their remarketing process.

 

§ 3 DoubleClick by Google

  1. This website also uses the online marketing tool DoubleClick by Google. DoubleClick uses cookies to display ads that are relevant to users, to improve campaign performance reports and to prevent situations in which a user sees the same ads more than once. Google uses a cookie ID to find out which ads are displayed in which browser. In this way, Google can stop these ads from being displayed more than once. Furthermore, DoubleClick can use cookie IDs to record conversions that are relevant to ad requests. This would be the case if a user saw a DoubleClick ad and then opened the website of the advertiser at a later time using the same browser and made a purchase on that website. According to Google, DoubleClick cookies do not feature any personal information.
  2. On account of the marketing tools used, your browser automatically establishes a direct connection to Google’s server. We have no control over the scope and the subsequent use of the data collected by Google via this tool and would therefore like to clarify how we believe the system works: when DoubleClick is set up on the website, Google receives the information that you have accessed a specific section of our website or have clicked on one of our ads. Provided you have signed up to one of Google’s services, Google will be able to associate the visit with your account. Even if you are not registered with Google or have not logged in, there is the possibility that the provider will come to know your IP address and save it.
  3. There are different ways to avoid participating in this tracking procedure: a) by adjusting your browser software settings – most notably, rejecting third-party cookies means that you will not receive any ads from third-party providers; b) by deactivating cookies for conversion tracking by setting up your browser to block cookies from the domain www.googleadservices.com, https://www.google.de/settings/ads, although this setting will be erased if you delete your cookies; c) by deactivating interest-based ads from providers that belong to the self-regulation campaign “About Ads” via the link http://www.aboutads.info/choices, although this setting will be erased if you delete your cookies; d) by means of permanent deactivation in your Firefox, Internet Explorer or Google Chrome browsers via the link http://www.google.com/settings/ads/plugin. If you opt to take this approach, we would like to point out that you may not be able to use all functions of this website to the full extent.
  4. The legal basis for the processing of your data is Art. 6 Para. 1 Sentence 1 item f of EU-GDPR. You can find further information about DoubleClick by Google at https://www.google.de/doubleclick and general information about data protection at Google at: https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy. Alternatively, you can visit the website of the Network Advertising Initiative (NAI) at http://www.networkadvertising.org. Google has submitted to the EU-US Privacy Shield, https://www.privacyshield.gov/EU-US-Framework.

 

§ 4 Facebook Custom Audiences

  1. The website also makes use of the remarketing function “Custom Audiences” from Facebook Inc. (“Facebook”). This allows us to provide users of the website with interest-related advertisements (“Facebook ads”) while they are using the social network Facebook or any other websites that make use of this function. In doing so, we are pursuing the aim of presenting you with advertising that is of interest to you and that makes our website more interesting for you.
  2. On account of the marketing tools used, your browser automatically establishes a direct connection to Facebook’s server. We have no control over the scope and the subsequent use of the data collected by Facebook via this tool and would therefore like to clarify how we believe the system works: when Facebook Custom Audiences is set up on the website, Facebook receives the information that you have accessed a specific section of our website or have clicked on one of our ads. Provided you have signed up to one of Facebook’s services, Facebook will be able to associate the visit with your account. Even if you are not registered with Facebook or have not logged in, there is the possibility that the provider will come to know your IP address and other identifying features and save them.
  3. It is possible to deactivate the “Facebook Custom Audiences” function [here and] if you are logged in as a user by clicking on the following link: https://www.facebook.com/settings/?tab=ads#.
  4. The legal basis for the processing of your data is Art. 6 Para. 1 Sentence 1 item f of EU-GDPR. You can find further information about data processing at Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy.

 

§ 5 Klick-Tipp

  1. This website uses Klick-Tipp for the distribution of newsletters. The service provider is KLICK-TIPP LIMITED, 15 Cambridge Court, 210 Shepherd’s Bush Road, London W6 7NJ, United Kingdom.
  2. Klick-Tipp is a service that can be used to organise and analyse the distribution of newsletters. The data you enter for the purpose of obtaining the newsletter will be saved on Klick-Tipp’s server.
  3. When we send out a newsletter using Klick-Tipp, we are able to determine whether a newsletter message has been opened or if any links have been clicked.
  4. The Klick-Tipp service also allows us to split the newsletter recipients into different categories (known as “tagging”). This makes is possible to classify the newsletter recipients, for example, according to gender, personal preferences (e.g. vegetarians or non-vegetarians) or customer status (e.g. customer or potential customer). In this way, the newsletters can be adapted to suit the respective target groups in a more efficient manner. You can find more detailed information at: https://www.klick-tipp.com and https://www.klick-tipp.com/handbuch.
  5. If you do not wish to be the subject of a Klick-Tipp analysis, you will need to unsubscribe from the newsletter. We provide a link in every newsletter message for this very purpose. You can also unsubscribe from the newsletter on the website itself.
  6. The processing of data is carried out on the basis of your consent (Art. 6 Para. 1 item a of EU-GDPR). You can revoke this consent at any time. The legitimacy of the data processing activities already completed remains unaffected by the revocation.
  7. The data you have provided us with for the purpose of obtaining the newsletter will be stored until you are removed from the newsletter mailing list and then deleted from our servers and the servers of Klick-Tipp once you have unsubscribed from the newsletter. Data stored by us for other purposes (e.g. email addresses for the members’ area) shall remain unaffected.
  8. You can find further information in the data protection regulations of Klick-Tipp at: https://www.klick-tipp.com/datenschutzerklaerung.
  9. We have concluded an order processing contract with Klick-Tipp in which we have obligated Klick-Tipp to protect our customers’ data and not to disclose said data to third parties. This ensures that our service provider will adhere to all aspects of the stringent requirements of data protection law when distributing the newsletter and that your data will only be stored with a high level of protection within the EU. Your data will not be stored on servers outside the EU.
