6) Use of your data for direct advertising
6.1 Registration for our e-mail newsletter
If you register for our e-mail newsletter, we will send you regular information about our offers. Your e-mail address is the only mandatory information for the sending of the newsletter. The provision of further data is voluntary and is used to address you personally. We use the so-called double opt-in procedure for sending the newsletter. This means that we will only send you an e-mail newsletter if you have expressly confirmed that you agree to receive newsletters. We will then send you a confirmation e-mail asking you to confirm that you wish to receive the newsletter in future by clicking on a corresponding link.
By activating the confirmation link, you give us your consent for the use of your personal data in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a DSGVO. When you register for the newsletter, we save your IP address entered by your Internet Service Provider (ISP) as well as the date and time of registration in order to be able to trace any possible misuse of your e-mail address at a later date.

6.3 Sending newsletters via CleverReach
Our e-mail newsletters are sent by the technical service provider CleverReach GmbH & Co. KG, Mühlenstr. 43, 26180 Rastede, Germany (“CleverReach”), to whom we pass on the data you provided during the newsletter registration. This forwarding is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 letter f DSGVO and serves our legitimate interest in using a promotionally effective, secure and user-friendly newsletter system. The data you enter to subscribe to the newsletter (e.g. e-mail address) will be stored on the CleverReach servers in Germany or Ireland.
CleverReach uses this information for sending and statistical evaluation of the newsletter on our behalf. For evaluation purposes, the newsletters sent by e-mail contain so-called web beacons or tracking pixels, which are one-pixel image files stored on our website. In this way it can be determined whether a newsletter message was opened and which links were clicked on, if applicable. Conversion tracking can also be used to analyse whether a previously defined action (e.g. purchase of a product on our website) was carried out after clicking on such links. Technical information is also collected (e.g. time of access, IP address, browser type and operating system). The data is only collected pseudonymously and is not linked to your other personal data, a direct personal reference is excluded. These data are used exclusively for the statistical analysis of newsletter campaigns. The results of these analyses can be used to better adapt future newsletters to the interests of the recipients.
If you wish to object to the data analysis for statistical evaluation purposes, you must unsubscribe from the newsletter.
We have concluded a contract with CleverReach, by which we commit CleverReach to protect the data of our customers and not to pass it on to third parties.

7) Use of social media: videos
Use of Youtube videos
This website uses the Youtube embedding function to display and play videos from the provider “Youtube”, which belongs to Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland (“Google”).
The extended data protection mode is used here, which according to the provider’s information, only starts to store user information when the video(s) is/are played. If the playback of embedded YouTube videos is started, the provider “YouTube” uses cookies to collect information about user behaviour. According to information from “Youtube”, these serve, among other things, to collect video statistics, improve user-friendliness and prevent abusive behaviour. If you are logged in to Google, your information is directly associated with your account when you click on a video. If you do not wish to be associated with your YouTube profile, you must log out before activating the button. Google saves your data (even for users who are not logged in) as user profiles and evaluates them. Such evaluation is carried out in particular in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 letter f DSGVO on the basis of Google’s legitimate interests in the display of personalised advertising, market research and/or the needs-based design of its website. You have a right of objection to the creation of these user profiles, whereby you must contact YouTube in order to exercise this right. In the course of using YouTube, personal data may also be transmitted to the servers of Google LLC. in the USA.
Irrespective of any playback of the embedded videos, a connection to the Google network is established each time this website is accessed, which may trigger further data processing operations without our influence.
In the event that personal data is transferred to Google LLC. based in the USA, Google LLC. has certified itself for the US-European data protection agreement “Privacy Shield”, which guarantees compliance with the level of data protection applicable in the EU. A current certificate can be viewed here: https://www.privacyshield.gov/list
Further information on data protection at “YouTube” can be found in the provider’s privacy policy at: https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy
Insofar as legally required, we have obtained your consent for the processing of your data as described above in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO. You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future. In order to exercise your revocation, please follow the above-mentioned procedure for lodging an objection.

8) Online marketing
Facebook pixels for the creation of custom audiences with advanced data synchronization
Within our online offer, the so-called “Facebook pixel” of the social network Facebook is used in the mode of extended data synchronisation, which is operated by Facebook Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Quare, Dublin 2, Ireland (“Facebook”).
On the basis of his or her express consent, when a user clicks on an advertisement placed on Facebook and displayed by us, an addition is added to the URL of our linked page by Facebook pixels. This URL parameter is then written into the user’s browser by a cookie that sets our linked page itself. In addition, this cookie records specific customer data such as the e-mail address, which we collect on our website linked to the Facebook ad during processes such as purchase transactions, account logins or registrations (extended data comparison). The cookie is then read by Facebook Pixel and enables the data, including the specific customer data, to be forwarded to Facebook.
With the help of the Facebook pixel with extended data comparison, Facebook is able to precisely determine the visitors of our online offer as a target group for the presentation of advertisements (so-called “Facebook ads”). Accordingly, we use the Facebook pixel with extended data comparison in order to display the Facebook ads placed by us only to those Facebook users who have also shown an interest in our online offer or who have certain characteristics (e.g. interests in certain topics or products determined on the basis of the websites visited), which we transmit to Facebook (so-called “custom audiences”). With the help of the Facebook pixel with extended data matching, we also want to ensure that our Facebook Ads correspond to the potential interest of the users and do not have a harassing effect. This allows us to further evaluate the effectiveness of Facebook Ads for statistical and market research purposes by tracking whether users have been redirected to our website after clicking on a Facebook Ad (so-called “conversion”). Compared to the standard Facebook pixel version, the advanced data matching feature helps us to better measure the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns by capturing more assigned conversions.
All transmitted data is stored and processed by Facebook so that a connection to the respective user profile is possible and Facebook can use the data for its own advertising purposes, in accordance with the Facebook Data Usage Guidelines (https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/). The data may enable Facebook and its partners to place advertisements on and outside of Facebook.
These processing operations are only carried out if express consent is granted in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 letter a DSGVO.
Consent to the use of the Facebook pixel may only be given by users over the age of 13. If you are younger, please ask your legal guardian for permission.
The information generated by Facebook is usually transferred to a Facebook server and stored there. This may also involve a transfer to the servers of Facebook Inc. in the USA. Facebook Inc. with headquarters in the USA is certified for the us-European data protection agreement “Privacy Shield”, which guarantees compliance with the data protection level applicable in the EU.
You can withdraw your consent at any time by deactivating Facebook pixel tracking. For this purpose you can set an opt-out cookie by clicking on the link below, which deactivates Facebook pixel tracking:
<a href=”javascript: void(0)” onclick=”if (typeof fbpOptOut == ‘function’) { fbpOptOut(); } else { alert(atob(‘QUNIVFVORzogRmVobGVuZGVyIEZhY2Vib29rLVBpeGVsIE9wdE91dC1Db2RlIQ==’))); }”>disable Facebook pixel tracking</a>
