Plugins from the social network Facebook, provided by Facebook Inc., 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, California 94025, USA, are integrated into our website. You can recognise the Facebook plugins by the Facebook logo or the ‘Like’ button on our site.

When you visit our website, the plugin establishes a direct connection between your browser and the Facebook server. Facebook thereby receives the information that you have visited our website using your IP address. If you click the Facebook “Like” button whilst logged into your Facebook account, you can link the content of our pages to your Facebook profile. This enables Facebook to associate your visit to our pages with your user account.

5. Analytics Tools and Advertising
Google Analytics
This website uses features of the web analytics service Google Analytics. The provider is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. Google Analytics uses so-called ‘cookies’. These are text files that are stored on your computer and enable an analysis of your use of the website. The information generated by the cookie regarding your use of this website is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. The storage of Google Analytics cookies is based on Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in analysing user behaviour in order to optimise both its website and its advertising.
IP anonymisation
We have enabled the IP anonymisation feature on this website. This means that your IP address is truncated by Google within Member States of the European Union or in other signatory states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area before being transmitted to the USA. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transmitted to a Google server in the USA and truncated 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 the website operator with other services relating to website and internet usage. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other data held by Google.
Browser plugin
You can prevent cookies from being stored by adjusting your browser settings accordingly; however, please note that in this case you may not be able to make full use of all the functions of this website. You can also prevent the collection of data generated by the cookie and relating to your use of the website (including your IP address) by Google, as well as the processing of this data by Google, by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available via the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de.

Google reCAPTCHA
We use “Google reCAPTCHA” (hereinafter “reCAPTCHA”) on our websites. The provider is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (“Google”). reCAPTCHA is designed to verify whether data entry on our websites (e.g. in a contact form) is carried out by a human or by an automated programme. To this end, reCAPTCHA analyses the website visitor’s behaviour based on various characteristics.
This analysis begins automatically as soon as the website visitor accesses the website. For the analysis, reCAPTCHA evaluates various pieces of information (e.g. IP address, the length of time the website visitor spends on the website, or mouse movements made by the user).
The data collected during the analysis is forwarded to Google. The reCAPTCHA analyses run entirely in the background. Website visitors are not notified that an analysis is taking place.
Data processing is carried out on the basis of Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in protecting its web services from abusive automated scraping and from spam.
Further information on Google reCAPTCHA and Google’s privacy policy can be found via the following links: https://www.google.com/intl/de/policies/privacy/ and https://www.google.com/recaptcha/intro/android.html.
6. Newsletter
Newsletter data
If you wish to subscribe to the newsletter offered on the website, we require your email address and information that enables us to verify that you are the owner of the email address provided and that you consent to receiving the newsletter. No further data is collected, or only on a voluntary basis. We use this data exclusively for sending the requested information and do not pass it on to third parties.
The processing of data entered into the newsletter subscription form is carried out solely on the basis of your consent (Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR). You may withdraw your consent to the storage of your data and email address, and to their use for sending the newsletter, at any time, for example via the ‘Unsubscribe’ link in the newsletter.
The lawfulness of any data processing operations that have already taken place remains unaffected by this withdrawal.
The data you have provided to us for the purpose of subscribing to the newsletter will be stored by us until you unsubscribe from the newsletter and will be deleted once you have unsubscribed. Data stored by us for other purposes (e.g. email addresses for the members’ area) remains unaffected by this.
MailChimp
This website uses MailChimp’s services to send newsletters. The provider is Rocket Science Group LLC, 675 Ponce De Leon Ave NE, Suite 5000, Atlanta, GA 30308, USA.
MailChimp is a service that can be used, amongst other things, to organise and analyse the sending of newsletters. If you enter data for the purpose of subscribing to the newsletter (e.g. your email address), this data is stored on MailChimp’s servers in the USA.
MailChimp is certified under the “EU-US Privacy Shield”. The “Privacy Shield” is an agreement between the European Union (EU) and the USA designed to ensure compliance with European data protection standards in the USA.
We use MailChimp to analyse our newsletter campaigns. When you open an email sent via MailChimp, a file contained within the email (known as a web beacon) connects to MailChimp’s servers in the USA. This allows us to determine whether a newsletter message has been opened and, where applicable, which links have been clicked. Technical information is also collected (e.g. time of access, IP address, browser type and operating system). This information cannot be linked to the individual newsletter recipient. It is used solely for the statistical analysis of newsletter campaigns. The results of these analyses may be used to better tailor future newsletters to the interests of recipients.
If you do not wish MailChimp to carry out this analysis, you must unsubscribe from the newsletter. We provide a link for this purpose in every newsletter message. You can also unsubscribe from the newsletter directly on the website.
Data processing is carried out on the basis of your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). You may withdraw this consent at any time by unsubscribing from the newsletter. The lawfulness of any data processing operations that have already taken place remains unaffected by this withdrawal.
The data you have provided to us for the purpose of receiving the newsletter will be stored by us until you unsubscribe from the newsletter and will be deleted from both our servers and MailChimp’s servers once you have unsubscribed. Data stored by us for other purposes (e.g. email addresses for the members’ area) remains unaffected by this.
For further details, please refer to MailChimp’s privacy policy at: https://mailchimp.com/legal/terms/.
7. Plugins and Tools
Google Web Fonts
This site uses so-called web fonts, provided by Google, to ensure a consistent display of fonts. When you visit a page, your browser loads the required web fonts into its cache to display text and fonts correctly.
To do this, the browser you are using must establish a connection to Google’s servers. As a result, Google becomes aware that our website has been accessed via your IP address. The use of Google Web Fonts is in the interests of ensuring a consistent and attractive presentation of our online content. This constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR.
If your browser does not support Web Fonts, a standard font from your computer will be used.
Further information on Google Web Fonts can be found at https://developers.google.com/fonts/faq and in Google’s privacy policy: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/.
