Privacy Policy
We are very delighted that you have shown interest in
our enterprise. Data protection is of a particularly high priority
for the management of the 777-Systems N.V., below called the
‘Site-Owner‘. The use of the Internet pages from the
Site-Owner is possible without any indication of personal data;
however, if a data subject wants to use special enterprise services
via our website, processing of personal data could become necessary.
If the processing of personal data is necessary and there is no
statutory basis for such processing, we generally obtain consent from
the data subject.
The processing of personal data, such as the name,
address, e-mail address, or telephone number of a data subject shall
always be in line with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR),
and in accordance with the country-specific data protection
regulations applicable to the Site-Owner. By means of this data
protection declaration, our enterprise would like to inform the
general public of the nature, scope, and purpose of the personal data
we collect, use and process. Furthermore, data subjects are informed,
by means of this data protection declaration, of the rights to which
they are entitled.
As the controller, the Site-Owner has implemented
numerous technical and organizational measures to ensure the most
complete protection of personal data processed through this website.
However, Internet-based data transmissions may in principle have
security gaps, so absolute protection may not be guaranteed. For this
reason, every data subject is free to transfer personal data to us
via alternative means, e.g. by telephone.
1. Definitions
The data protection declaration of the Site-Owner is
based on the terms used by the European legislator for the adoption
of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Our data protection
declaration should be legible and understandable for the general
public, as well as our customers and business partners. To ensure
this, we would like to first explain the terminology used.
In this data protection declaration, we use, inter alia,
the following terms:
Personal data means any information relating to an
identified or identifiable natural person (“data subject”).
An identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly
or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a
name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier
or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological,
genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that
natural person.
Data subject is any identified or identifiable natural
person, whose personal data is processed by the controller
responsible for the processing.
Processing is any operation or set of operations which
is performed on personal data or on sets of personal data, whether or
not by automated means, such as collection, recording, organisation,
structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval,
consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or
otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction,
erasure or destruction.
Restriction of processing is the marking of stored
personal data with the aim of limiting their processing in the
future.
Profiling means any form of automated processing of
personal data consisting of the use of personal data to evaluate
certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular
to analyse or predict aspects concerning that natural person's
performance at work, economic situation, health, personal
preferences, interests, reliability, behaviour, location or
movements.
Pseudonymisation is the processing of personal data in
such a manner that the personal data can no longer be attributed to a
specific data subject without the use of additional information,
provided that such additional information is kept separately and is
subject to technical and organisational measures to ensure that the
personal data are not attributed to an identified or identifiable
natural person.
Controller or controller responsible for the processing
is the natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other
body which, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and
means of the processing of personal data; where the purposes and
means of such processing are determined by Union or Member State law,
the controller or the specific criteria for its nomination may be
provided for by Union or Member State law.
Processor is a natural or legal person, public
authority, agency or other body which processes personal data on
behalf of the controller.
Recipient is a natural or legal person, public
authority, agency or another body, to which the personal data are
disclosed, whether a third party or not. However, public authorities
which may receive personal data in the framework of a particular
inquiry in accordance with Union or Member State law shall not be
regarded as recipients; the processing of those data by those public
authorities shall be in compliance with the applicable data
protection rules according to the purposes of the processing.
Third party is a natural or legal person, public
authority, agency or body other than the data subject, controller,
processor and persons who, under the direct authority of the
controller or processor, are authorised to process personal data.
Consent of the data subject is any freely given,
specific, informed and unambiguous indication of the data subject's
wishes by which he or she, by a statement or by a clear affirmative
action, signifies agreement to the processing of personal data
relating to him or her.
2. Name and Address of the controller
Controller for the purposes of the General Data
Protection Regulation (GDPR), other data protection laws applicable
in Member states of the European Union and other provisions related
to data protection is:
777-Systems N.V.
E-Commerce Park Vredenberg
Willemstad - Curacao
3. Cookies
The Internet pages of the Site-Owner use cookies.
Cookies are text files that are stored in a computer system via an
Internet browser.
Many Internet sites and servers use cookies. Many
cookies contain a so-called cookie ID. A cookie ID is a unique
identifier of the cookie. It consists of a character string through
which Internet pages and servers can be assigned to the specific
Internet browser in which the cookie was stored. This allows visited
Internet sites and servers to differentiate the individual browser of
the dats subject from other Internet browsers that contain other
cookies. A specific Internet browser can be recognized and identified
using the unique cookie ID.
Through the use of cookies, the Site-Owner can provide
the users of this website with more user-friendly services that would
not be possible without the cookie setting.
By means of a cookie, the information and offers on our
website can be optimized with the user in mind. Cookies allow us, as
previously mentioned, to recognize our website users. The purpose of
this recognition is to make it easier for users to utilize our
website. The website user that uses cookies, e.g. does not have to
enter access data each time the website is accessed, because this is
taken over by the website, and the cookie is thus stored on the
user's computer system. Another example is the cookie of a shopping
cart in an online shop. The online store remembers the articles that
a customer has placed in the virtual shopping cart via a cookie.
The data subject may, at any time, prevent the setting
of cookies through our website by means of a corresponding setting of
the Internet browser used, and may thus permanently deny the setting
of cookies. Furthermore, already set cookies may be deleted at any
time via an Internet browser or other software programs. This is
possible in all popular Internet browsers. If the data subject
deactivates the setting of cookies in the Internet browser used, not
all functions of our website may be entirely usable.
4. Collection of general data and information
The website of the Site-Owner collects a series of
general data and information when a data subject or automated system
calls up the website. This general data and information are stored in
the server log files. Collected may be (1) the browser types and
versions used, (2) the operating system used by the accessing system,
(3) the website from which an accessing system reaches our website
(so-called referrers), (4) the sub-websites, (5) the date and time of
access to the Internet site, (6) an Internet protocol address (IP
address), (7) the Internet service provider of the accessing system,
and (8) any other similar data and information that may be used in
the event of attacks on our information technology systems.
When using these general data and information, the
Site-Owner does not draw any conclusions about the data subject.
Rather, this information is needed to (1) deliver the content of our
website correctly, (2) optimize the content of our website as well as
its advertisement, (3) ensure the long-term viability of our
information technology systems and website technology, and (4)
provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary
for criminal prosecution in case of a cyber-attack. Therefore, the
Site-Owner analyzes anonymously collected data and information
statistically, with the aim of increasing the data protection and
data security of our enterprise, and to ensure an optimal level of
protection for the personal data we process. The anonymous data of
the server log files are stored separately from all personal data
provided by a data subject.
5. Registration on our website
The data subject has the possibility to register on the
website of the controller with the indication of personal data. Which
personal data are transmitted to the controller is determined by the
respective input mask used for the registration. The personal data
entered by the data subject are collected and stored exclusively for
internal use by the controller, and for his own purposes. The
controller may request transfer to one or more processors (e.g. a
parcel service) that also uses personal data for an internal purpose
which is attributable to the controller.
By registering on the website of the controller, the IP
address—assigned by the Internet service provider (ISP) and
used by the data subject—date, and time of the registration are
also stored. The storage of this data takes place against the
background that this is the only way to prevent the misuse of our
services, and, if necessary, to make it possible to investigate
committed offenses. Insofar, the storage of this data is necessary to
secure the controller. This data is not passed on to third parties
unless there is a statutory obligation to pass on the data, or if the
transfer serves the aim of criminal prosecution.
The registration of the data subject, with the voluntary
indication of personal data, is intended to enable the controller to
offer the data subject contents or services that may only be offered
to registered users due to the nature of the matter in question.
Registered persons are free to change the personal data specified
during the registration at any time, or to have them completely
deleted from the data stock of the controller.
The data controller shall, at any time, provide
information upon request to each data subject as to what personal
data are stored about the data subject. In addition, the data
controller shall correct or erase personal data at the request or
indication of the data subject, insofar as there are no statutory
storage obligations. The entirety of the controller’s employees
are available to the data subject in this respect as contact persons.
6. Subscription to our newsletters
On the website of the Site-Owner, users are given the
opportunity to subscribe to our enterprise's newsletter. The input
mask used for this purpose determines what personal data are
transmitted, as well as when the newsletter is ordered from the
controller.
The Site-Owner informs its customers and business
partners regularly by means of a newsletter about enterprise offers.
The enterprise's newsletter may only be received by the data subject
if (1) the data subject has a valid e-mail address and (2) the data
subject registers for the newsletter shipping. A confirmation e-mail
will be sent to the e-mail address registered by a data subject for
the first time for newsletter shipping, for legal reasons, in the
double opt-in procedure. This confirmation e-mail is used to prove
whether the owner of the e-mail address as the data subject is
authorized to receive the newsletter.
During the registration for the newsletter, we also
store the IP address of the computer system assigned by the Internet
service provider (ISP) and used by the data subject at the time of
the registration, as well as the date and time of the registration.
The collection of this data is necessary in order to understand the
(possible) misuse of the e-mail address of a data subject at a later
date, and it therefore serves the aim of the legal protection of the
controller.
The personal data collected as part of a registration
for the newsletter will only be used to send our newsletter. In
addition, subscribers to the newsletter may be informed by e-mail, as
long as this is necessary for the operation of the newsletter service
or a registration in question, as this could be the case in the event
of modifications to the newsletter offer, or in the event of a change
in technical circumstances. There will be no transfer of personal
data collected by the newsletter service to third parties. The
subscription to our newsletter may be terminated by the data subject
at any time. The consent to the storage of personal data, which the
data subject has given for shipping the newsletter, may be revoked at
any time. For the purpose of revocation of consent, a corresponding
link is found in each newsletter. It is also possible to unsubscribe
from the newsletter at any time directly on the website of the
controller, or to communicate this to the controller in a different
way.
7. Newsletter-Tracking
The newsletter of the Site-Owner contains so-called
tracking pixels. A tracking pixel is a miniature graphic embedded in
such e-mails, which are sent in HTML format to enable log file
recording and analysis. This allows a statistical analysis of the
success or failure of online marketing campaigns. Based on the
embedded tracking pixel, the Site-Owner may see if and when an e-mail
was opened by a data subject, and which links in the e-mail were
called up by data subjects.
Such personal data collected in the tracking pixels
contained in the newsletters are stored and analyzed by the
controller in order to optimize the shipping of the newsletter, as
well as to adapt the content of future newsletters even better to the
interests of the data subject. These personal data will not be passed
on to third parties. Data subjects are at any time entitled to revoke
the respective separate declaration of consent issued by means of the
double-opt-in procedure. After a revocation, these personal data will
be deleted by the controller. The Site-Owner automatically regards a
withdrawal from the receipt of the newsletter as a revocation.
8. Contact possibility via the website
The website of the Site-Owner contains information that
enables a quick electronic contact to our enterprise, as well as
direct communication with us, which also includes a general address
of the so-called electronic mail (e-mail address). If a data subject
contacts the controller by e-mail or via a contact form, the personal
data transmitted by the data subject are automatically stored. Such
personal data transmitted on a voluntary basis by a data subject to
the data controller are stored for the purpose of processing or
contacting the data subject. There is no transfer of this personal
data to third parties.
9. Routine erasure and blocking of personal data
The data controller shall process and store the personal
data of the data subject only for the period necessary to achieve the
purpose of storage, or as far as this is granted by the European
legislator or other legislators in laws or regulations to which the
controller is subject to.
If the storage purpose is not applicable, or if a
storage period prescribed by the European legislator or another
competent legislator expires, the personal data are routinely blocked
or erased in accordance with legal requirements.
10. Rights of the data subject
Each data subject shall have the right granted by the
European legislator to obtain from the controller the confirmation as
to whether or not personal data concerning him or her are being
processed. If a data subject wishes to avail himself of this right of
confirmation, he or she may, at any time, contact any employee of the
controller.
Each data subject shall have the right granted by the
European legislator to obtain from the controller free information
about his or her personal data stored at any time and a copy of this
information. Furthermore, the European directives and regulations
grant the data subject access to the following information:
the purposes of the processing;
the categories of personal data concerned;
the recipients or categories of recipients to whom the
personal data have been or will be disclosed, in particular
recipients in third countries or international organisations;
where possible, the envisaged period for which the
personal data will be stored, or, if not possible, the criteria
used to determine that period;
the existence of the right to request from the
controller rectification or erasure of personal data, or
restriction of processing of personal data concerning the data
subject, or to object to such processing;
the existence of the right to lodge a complaint with a
supervisory authority;
where the personal data are not collected from the
data subject, any available information as to their source;
the existence of automated decision-making, including
profiling, referred to in Article 22(1) and (4) of the 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.
Furthermore, the data subject shall have a right to
obtain information as to whether personal data are transferred to a
third country or to an international organisation. Where this is the
case, the data subject shall have the right to be informed of the
appropriate safeguards relating to the transfer.
If a data subject wishes to avail himself of this right
of access, he or she may, at any time, contact any employee of the
controller.
Each data subject shall have the right granted by the
European legislator to obtain from the controller without undue delay
the rectification of inaccurate personal data concerning him or her.
Taking into account the purposes of the processing, the data subject
shall have the right to have incomplete personal data completed,
including by means of providing a supplementary statement.
If a data subject wishes to exercise this right to
rectification, he or she may, at any time, contact any employee of
the controller.
Each data subject shall have the right granted by the
European legislator to obtain from the controller the erasure of
personal data concerning him or her without undue delay, and the
controller shall have the obligation to erase personal data without
undue delay where one of the following grounds applies, as long as
the processing is not necessary:
The personal data are no longer necessary in relation
to the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise
processed.
The data subject withdraws consent to which the
processing is based according to point (a) of Article 6(1) of the
GDPR, or point (a) of Article 9(2) of the GDPR, and where there is
no other legal ground for the processing.
The data subject objects to the processing pursuant to
Article 21(1) of the GDPR and there are no overriding legitimate
grounds for the processing, or the data subject objects to the
processing pursuant to Article 21(2) of the GDPR.
The personal data have been unlawfully processed.
The personal data must be erased for compliance with a
legal obligation in Union or Member State law to which the
controller is subject.
The personal data have been collected in relation to
the offer of information society services referred to in Article
8(1) of the GDPR.
If one of the aforementioned reasons applies, and a data
subject wishes to request the erasure of personal data stored by the
Site-Owner, he or she may, at any time, contact any employee of the
controller. An employee of Site-Owner shall promptly ensure that the
erasure request is complied with immediately.
Where the controller has made personal data public and
is obliged pursuant to Article 17(1) to erase the personal data, the
controller, taking account of available technology and the cost of
implementation, shall take reasonable steps, including technical
measures, to inform other controllers processing the personal data
that the data subject has requested erasure by such controllers of
any links to, or copy or replication of, those personal data, as far
as processing is not required. An employees of the Site-Owner will
arrange the necessary measures in individual cases.
Each data subject shall have the right granted by the
European legislator to obtain from the controller restriction of
processing where one of the following applies:
The accuracy of the personal data is contested by the
data subject, for a period enabling the controller to verify the
accuracy of the personal data.
The processing is unlawful and the data subject
opposes the erasure of the personal data and requests instead the
restriction of their use instead.
The controller no longer needs the personal data for
the purposes of the processing, but they are required by the data
subject for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.
The data subject has objected to processing pursuant
to Article 21(1) of the GDPR pending the verification whether the
legitimate grounds of the controller override those of the data
subject.
If one of the aforementioned conditions is met, and a
data subject wishes to request the restriction of the processing of
personal data stored by the Site-Owner, he or she may at any time
contact any employee of the controller. The employee of the
Site-Owner will arrange the restriction of the processing.
Each data subject shall have the right granted by the
European legislator, to receive the personal data concerning him or
her, which was provided to a controller, in a structured, commonly
used and machine-readable format. He or she shall have the right to
transmit those data to another controller without hindrance from the
controller to which the personal data have been provided, as long as
the processing is based on consent pursuant to point (a) of Article
6(1) of the GDPR or point (a) of Article 9(2) of the GDPR, or on a
contract pursuant to point (b) of Article 6(1) of the GDPR, and the
processing is carried out by automated means, as long as the
processing is not necessary for the performance of a task carried out
in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority
vested in the controller.
Furthermore, in exercising his or her right to data
portability pursuant to Article 20(1) of the GDPR, the data subject
shall have the right to have personal data transmitted directly from
one controller to another, where technically feasible and when doing
so does not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others.
In order to assert the right to data portability, the
data subject may at any time contact any employee of the Site-Owner.
Each data subject shall have the right granted by the
European legislator to object, on grounds relating to his or her
particular situation, at any time, to processing of personal data
concerning him or her, which is based on point (e) or (f) of Article
6(1) of the GDPR. This also applies to profiling based on these
provisions.
The Site-Owner shall no longer process the personal data
in the event of the objection, unless we can demonstrate compelling
legitimate grounds for the processing which override the interests,
rights and freedoms of the data subject, or for the establishment,
exercise or defence of legal claims.
If the Site-Owner processes personal data for direct
marketing purposes, the data subject shall have the right to object
at any time to processing of personal data concerning him or her for
such marketing. This applies to profiling to the extent that it is
related to such direct marketing. If the data subject objects to the
Site-Owner to the processing for direct marketing purposes, the
Site-Owner will no longer process the personal data for these
purposes.
In addition, the data subject has the right, on grounds
relating to his or her particular situation, to object to processing
of personal data concerning him or her by the Site-Owner for
scientific or historical research purposes, or for statistical
purposes pursuant to Article 89(1) of the GDPR, unless the processing
is necessary for the performance of a task carried out for reasons of
public interest.
In order to exercise the right to object, the data
subject may contact any employee of the Site-Owner. In addition, the
data subject is free in the context of the use of information society
services, and notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC, to use his or her
right to object by automated means using technical specifications.
Each data subject shall have the right granted by the
European legislator not to be subject to a decision based solely on
automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal
effects concerning him or her, or similarly significantly affects him
or her, as long as the decision (1) is not is necessary for entering
into, or the performance of, a contract between the data subject and
a data controller, or (2) is not authorised by Union or Member State
law to which the controller is subject and which also lays down
suitable measures to safeguard the data subject's rights and freedoms
and legitimate interests, or (3) is not based on the data subject's
explicit consent.
If the decision (1) is necessary for entering into, or
the performance of, a contract between the data subject and a data
controller, or (2) it is based on the data subject's explicit
consent, the Site-Owner shall implement suitable measures to
safeguard the data subject's 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.
If the data subject wishes to exercise the rights
concerning automated individual decision-making, he or she may, at
any time, contact any employee of the Site-Owner.
Each data subject shall have the right granted by the
European legislator to withdraw his or her consent to processing of
his or her personal data at any time.
If the data subject wishes to exercise the right to
withdraw the consent, he or she may, at any time, contact any
employee of the Site-Owner.
11. Data protection provisions about the application
and use of Affilinet
On this website, the controller has integrated
components of the enterprise Affilinet. Affilinet is a German
affiliate network, which offers affiliate marketing.
Affiliate marketing is a web-based form of distribution,
which allows commercial operators of Internet sites, the so-called
merchants or advertisers, to show advertising, which will be paid
mostly through click or sale commissions, on third-party Internet
sites that are also called affiliates or publishers. The Merchant
provides through the affiliate network an advertising medium, such as
an advertising banner or other suitable means of Internet
advertising, which is subsequently integrated by an affiliate on its
own Internet pages or via other channels such as keyword advertising
or e-mail marketing.
The operating company of Affilinet is the Affilinet
GmbH, Sapporo arc 6-8, 80637 Munich, Germany.
Affilinet sets a cookie on the information technology
system of the data subject. The definition of cookies is explained
above. The tracking cookie by Affilinet stores no personal data. Only
the identification number of the affiliate, that is, the partner
mediating the potential customer, as well as the ordinal number of
the visitor of a website and the clicked advertising medium are
stored. The purpose of this data storage is the processing of
commission payments between a merchant and affiliate, which are
processed through the affiliate network, that is Affilinet.
The data subject may, as stated above, prevent the
setting of cookies through our website at any time by means of a
corresponding adjustment of the Internet browser used and, thus,
permanently deny the setting of cookies. Such an adjustment to the
Internet browser used would also prevent Affilinet from setting a
cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. In
addition, cookies already in use by Affilinet may be deleted at any
time via a web browser or other software programs.
The applicable data protection provisions of Affilinet
may be accessed under
https://www.affili.net/uk/footeritem/privacy-policy.
12. Data protection provisions about the application
and use of Facebook
On this website, the controller has integrated
components of the enterprise Facebook. Facebook is a social network.
A social network is a place for social meetings on the
Internet, an online community, which usually allows users to
communicate with each other and interact in a virtual space. A social
network may serve as a platform for the exchange of opinions and
experiences, or enable the Internet community to provide personal or
business-related information. Facebook allows social network users to
include the creation of private profiles, upload photos, and network
through friend requests.
The operating company of Facebook is Facebook, Inc., 1
Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025, United States. If a person lives
outside of the United States or Canada, the controller is the
Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour,
Dublin 2, Ireland.
With each call-up to one of the individual pages of this
Internet website, which is operated by the controller and into which
a Facebook component (Facebook plug-ins) was integrated, the web
browser on the information technology system of the data subject is
automatically prompted to download display of the corresponding
Facebook component from Facebook through the Facebook component. An
overview of all the Facebook Plug-ins may be accessed under
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/. During the course of
this technical procedure, Facebook is made aware of what specific
sub-site of our website was visited by the data subject.
If the data subject is logged in at the same time on
Facebook, Facebook detects with every call-up to our website by the
data subject—and for the entire duration of their stay on our
Internet site—which specific sub-site of our Internet page was
visited by the data subject. This information is collected through
the Facebook component and associated with the respective Facebook
account of the data subject. If the data subject clicks on one of the
Facebook buttons integrated into our website, e.g. the "Like"
button, or if the data subject submits a comment, then Facebook
matches this information with the personal Facebook user account of
the data subject and stores the personal data.
Facebook always receives, through the Facebook
component, information about a visit to our website by the data
subject, whenever the data subject is logged in at the same time on
Facebook during the time of the call-up to our website. This occurs
regardless of whether the data subject clicks on the Facebook
component or not. If such a transmission of information to Facebook
is not desirable for the data subject, then he or she may prevent
this by logging off from their Facebook account before a call-up to
our website is made.
The data protection guideline published by Facebook,
which is available at https://facebook.com/about/privacy/, provides
information about the collection, processing and use of personal data
by Facebook. In addition, it is explained there what setting options
Facebook offers to protect the privacy of the data subject. In
addition, different configuration options are made available to allow
the elimination of data transmission to Facebook. These applications
may be used by the data subject to eliminate a data transmission to
Facebook.
13. Data protection provisions about the application
and use of Google Analytics (with anonymization function)
On this website, the controller has integrated the
component of Google Analytics (with the anonymizer function). Google
Analytics is a web analytics service. Web analytics is the
collection, gathering, and analysis of data about the behavior of
visitors to websites. A web analysis service collects, inter alia,
data about the website from which a person has come (the so-called
referrer), which sub-pages were visited, or how often and for what
duration a sub-page was viewed. Web analytics are mainly used for the
optimization of a website and in order to carry out a cost-benefit
analysis of Internet advertising.
The operator of the Google Analytics component is Google
Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, United
States.
For the web analytics through Google Analytics the
controller uses the application "_gat. _anonymizeIp". By
means of this application the IP address of the Internet connection
of the data subject is abridged by Google and anonymised when
accessing our
websites from a Member State of the European Union or another
Contracting State to the Agreement on the European Economic Area.
The purpose of the Google Analytics component is to
analyze the traffic on our website. Google uses the collected data
and information, inter alia, to evaluate the use of our website and
to provide online reports, which show the activities on our websites,
and to provide other services concerning the use of our Internet site
for us.
Google Analytics places a cookie on the information
technology system of the data subject. The definition of cookies is
explained above. With the setting of the cookie, Google is enabled to
analyze the use of our website. With each call-up to one of the
individual pages of this Internet site, which is operated by the
controller and into which a Google Analytics component was
integrated, the Internet browser on the information technology system
of the data subject will automatically submit data through the Google
Analytics component for the purpose of online advertising and the
settlement of commissions to Google. During the course of this
technical procedure, the enterprise Google gains knowledge of
personal information, such as the IP address of the data subject,
which serves Google, inter alia, to understand the origin of visitors
and clicks, and subsequently create commission settlements.
The cookie is used to store personal information, such
as the access time, the location from which the access was made, and
the frequency of visits of our website by the data subject. With each
visit to our Internet site, such personal data, including the IP
address of the Internet access used by the data subject, will be
transmitted to Google in the United States of America. These personal
data are stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may
pass these personal data collected through the technical procedure to
third parties.
The data subject may, as stated above, prevent the
setting of cookies through our website at any time by means of a
corresponding adjustment of the web browser used and thus permanently
deny the setting of cookies. Such an adjustment to the Internet
browser used would also prevent Google Analytics from setting a
cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. In
addition, cookies already in use by Google Analytics may be deleted
at any time via a web browser or other software programs.
In addition, the data subject has the possibility of
objecting to a collection of data that are generated by Google
Analytics, which is related to the use of this website, as well as
the processing of this data by Google and the chance to preclude any
such. For this purpose, the data subject must download a browser
add-on under the link https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout and
install it. This browser add-on tells Google Analytics through a
JavaScript, that any data and information about the visits of
Internet pages may not be transmitted to Google Analytics. The
installation of the browser add-ons is considered an objection by
Google. If the information technology system of the data subject is
later deleted, formatted, or newly installed, then the data subject
must reinstall the browser add-ons to disable Google Analytics. If
the browser add-on was uninstalled by the data subject or any other
person who is attributable to their sphere of competence, or is
disabled, it is possible to execute the reinstallation or
reactivation of the browser add-ons.

14. Data protection provisions about the application
and use of Google+
On this website, the controller has integrated the
Google+ button as a component. Google+ is a so-called social network.
A social network is a social meeting place on the Internet, an online
community, which usually allows users to communicate with each other
and interact in a virtual space. A social network may serve as a
platform for the exchange of opinions and experiences, or enable the
Internet community to provide personal or business-related
information. Google+ allows users of the social network to include
the creation of private profiles, upload photos and network through
friend requests.
The operating company of Google+ is Google Inc., 1600
Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, UNITED STATES.
With each call-up to one of the individual pages of this
website, which is operated by the controller and on which a Google+
button has been integrated, the Internet browser on the information
technology system of the data subject automatically downloads a
display of the corresponding Google+ button of Google through the
respective Google+ button component. During the course of this
technical procedure, Google is made aware of what specific sub-page
of our website was visited by the data subject. More detailed
information about Google+ is available under
https://developers.google.com/+/.
If the data subject is logged in at the same time to
Google+, Google recognizes with each call-up to our website by the
data subject and for the entire duration of his or her stay on our
Internet site, which specific sub-pages of our Internet page were
visited by the data subject. This information is collected through
the Google+ button and Google matches this with the respective
Google+ account associated with the data subject.
If the data subject clicks on the Google+ button
integrated on our website and thus gives a Google+ 1 recommendation,
then Google assigns this information to the personal Google+ user
account of the data subject and stores the personal data. Google
stores the Google+ 1 recommendation of the data subject, making it
publicly available in accordance with the terms and conditions
accepted by the data subject in this regard. Subsequently, a Google+
1 recommendation given by the data subject on this website together
with other personal data, such as the Google+ account name used by
the data subject and the stored photo, is stored and processed on
other Google services, such as search-engine results of the Google
search engine, the Google account of the data subject or in other
places, e.g. on Internet pages, or in relation to advertisements.
Google is also able to link the visit to this website with other
personal data stored on Google. Google further records this personal
information with the purpose of improving or optimizing the various
Google services.
Through the Google+ button, Google receives information
that the data subject visited our website, if the data subject at the
time of the call-up to our website is logged in to Google+. This
occurs regardless of whether the data subject clicks or doesn’t
click on the Google+ button.
If the data subject does not wish to transmit personal
data to Google, he or she may prevent such transmission by logging
out of his Google+ account before calling up our website.
Further information and the data protection provisions
of Google may be retrieved under
https://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy/. More references
from Google about the Google+ 1 button may be obtained under
https://developers.google.com/+/web/buttons-policy.
15. Data protection provisions about the application
and use of Instagram
On this website, the controller has integrated
components of the service Instagram. Instagram is a service that may
be qualified as an audiovisual platform, which allows users to share
photos and videos, as well as disseminate such data in other social
networks.
The operating company of the services offered by
Instagram is Instagram LLC, 1 Hacker Way, Building 14 First Floor,
Menlo Park, CA, UNITED STATES.
With each call-up to one of the individual pages of this
Internet site, which is operated by the controller and on which an
Instagram component (Insta button) was integrated, the Internet
browser on the information technology system of the data subject is
automatically prompted to the download of a display of the
corresponding Instagram component of Instagram. During the course of
this technical procedure, Instagram becomes aware of what specific
sub-page of our website was visited by the data subject.
If the data subject is logged in at the same time on
Instagram, Instagram detects with every call-up to our website by the
data subject—and for the entire duration of their stay on our
Internet site—which specific sub-page of our Internet page was
visited by the data subject. This information is collected through
the Instagram component and is associated with the respective
Instagram account of the data subject. If the data subject clicks on
one of the Instagram buttons integrated on our website, then
Instagram matches this information with the personal Instagram user
account of the data subject and stores the personal data.
Instagram receives information via the Instagram
component that the data subject has visited our website provided that
the data subject is logged in at Instagram at the time of the call to
our website. This occurs regardless of whether the person clicks on
the Instagram button or not. If such a transmission of information to
Instagram is not desirable for the data subject, then he or she can
prevent this by logging off from their Instagram account before a
call-up to our website is made.
Further information and the applicable data protection
provisions of Instagram may be retrieved under
https://help.instagram.com/155833707900388 and
https://www.instagram.com/about/legal/privacy/.
16. Data protection provisions about the application
and use of Matomo
On this website, the controller has integrated the
Matomo component. Matomo is an open-source software tool for web
analysis. Web analysis is the collection, gathering and evaluation of
data on the behavior of visitors from Internet sites. A web analysis
tool collects, inter alia, data on the website from which a data
subject came to a website (so-called referrer), which pages of the
website were accessed or how often and for which period of time a
sub-page was viewed. A web analysis is mainly used for the
optimization of a website and the cost-benefit analysis of Internet
advertising.
The software is operated on the server of the
controller, the data protection-sensitive log files are stored
exclusively on this server.
The purpose of the Matomo component is the analysis of
the visitor flows on our website. The controller uses the obtained
data and information, inter alia, to evaluate the use of this website
in order to compile online reports, which show the activities on our
Internet pages.
Matomo sets a cookie on the information technology
system of the data subject. The definition of cookies is explained
above. With the setting of the cookie, an analysis of the use of our
website is enabled. With each call-up to one of the individual pages
of this website, the Internet browser on the information technology
system of the data subject is automatically through the Matomo
component prompted to submit data for the purpose of online analysis
to our server. During the course of this technical procedure, we
obtain knowledge about personal information, such as the IP address
of the data subject, which serves to understand the origin of
visitors and clicks.
The cookie is used to store personal information, such
as the access time, the location from which access was made, and the
frequency of visits to our website. With each visit of our Internet
pages, these personal data, including the IP address of the Internet
access used by the data subject, are transferred to our server. These
personal data will be stored by us. We do not forward this personal
data to third parties.
The data subject may, as stated above, prevent the
setting of cookies through our website at any time by means of a
corresponding adjustment of the web browser used and thus permanently
deny the setting of cookies. Such an adjustment to the used Internet
browser would also prevent Matomo from setting a cookie on the
information technology system of the data subject. In addition,
cookies already in use by Matomo may be deleted at any time via a web
browser or other software programs.
In addition, the data subject has the possibility of
objecting to a collection of data relating to a use of this Internet
site that are generated by Matomo as well as the processing of these
data by Matomo and the chance to preclude any such. For this, the
data subject must set a "Do Not Track" option in the
browser.
With each setting of the opt-out cookie, however, there
is the possibility that the websites of the controller are no longer
fully usable for the data subject.
Further information and the applicable data protection
provisions of Matomo may be retrieved under
https://matomo.org/privacy/.
17. Data protection provisions about the application
and use of Twitter
On this website, the controller has integrated
components of Twitter. Twitter is a multilingual, publicly-accessible
microblogging service on which users may publish and spread so-called
‘tweets,’ e.g. short messages, which are limited to 280
characters. These short messages are available for everyone,
including those who are not logged on to Twitter. The tweets are also
displayed to so-called followers of the respective user. Followers
are other Twitter users who follow a user's tweets. Furthermore,
Twitter allows you to address a wide audience via hashtags, links or
retweets.
The operating company of Twitter is Twitter, Inc., 1355
Market Street, Suite 900, San Francisco, CA 94103, UNITED STATES.
With each call-up to one of the individual pages of this
Internet site, which is operated by the controller and on which a
Twitter component (Twitter button) was integrated, the Internet
browser on the information technology system of the data subject is
automatically prompted to download a display of the corresponding
Twitter component of Twitter. Further information about the Twitter
buttons is available under
https://about.twitter.com/de/resources/buttons. During the course of
this technical procedure, Twitter gains knowledge of what specific
sub-page of our website was visited by the data subject. The purpose
of the integration of the Twitter component is a retransmission of
the contents of this website to allow our users to introduce this web
page to the digital world and increase our visitor numbers.
If the data subject is logged in at the same time on
Twitter, Twitter detects with every call-up to our website by the
data subject and for the entire duration of their stay on our
Internet site which specific sub-page of our Internet page was
visited by the data subject. This information is collected through
the Twitter component and associated with the respective Twitter
account of the data subject. If the data subject clicks on one of the
Twitter buttons integrated on our website, then Twitter assigns this
information to the personal Twitter user account of the data subject
and stores the personal data.
Twitter receives information via the Twitter component
that the data subject has visited our website, provided that the data
subject is logged in on Twitter at the time of the call-up to our
website. This occurs regardless of whether the person clicks on the
Twitter component or not. If such a transmission of information to
Twitter is not desirable for the data subject, then he or she may
prevent this by logging off from their Twitter account before a
call-up to our website is made.
The applicable data protection provisions of Twitter may
be accessed under https://twitter.com/privacy?lang=en.
18. Data protection provisions about the application
and use of YouTube
On this website, the controller has integrated
components of YouTube. YouTube is an Internet video portal that
enables video publishers to set video clips and other users free of
charge, which also provides free viewing, review and commenting on
them. YouTube allows you to publish all kinds of videos, so you can
access both full movies and TV broadcasts, as well as music videos,
trailers, and videos made by users via the Internet portal.
The operating company of YouTube is YouTube, LLC, 901
Cherry Ave., San Bruno, CA 94066, UNITED STATES. The YouTube, LLC is
a subsidiary of Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View,
CA 94043-1351, UNITED STATES.
With each call-up to one of the individual pages of this
Internet site, which is operated by the controller and on which a
YouTube component (YouTube video) was integrated, the Internet
browser on the information technology system of the data subject is
automatically prompted to download a display of the corresponding
YouTube component. Further information about YouTube may be obtained
under https://www.youtube.com/yt/about/en/. During the course of this
technical procedure, YouTube and Google gain knowledge of what
specific sub-page of our website was visited by the data subject.
If the data subject is logged in on YouTube, YouTube
recognizes with each call-up to a sub-page that contains a YouTube
video, which specific sub-page of our Internet site was visited by
the data subject. This information is collected by YouTube and Google
and assigned to the respective YouTube account of the data subject.
YouTube and Google will receive information through the
YouTube component that the data subject has visited our website, if
the data subject at the time of the call to our website is logged in
on YouTube; this occurs regardless of whether the person clicks on a
YouTube video or not. If such a transmission of this information to
YouTube and Google is not desirable for the data subject, the
delivery may be prevented if the data subject logs off from their own
YouTube account before a call-up to our website is made.
YouTube's data protection provisions, available at
https://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy/, provide information
about the collection, processing and use of personal data by YouTube
and Google.
19. Data protection provisions about the application
and use of DoubleClick
On this website, the controller has integrated
components of DoubleClick by Google. DoubleClick is a trademark of
Google, under which predominantly special online marketing solutions
are marketed to advertising agencies and publishers.
The operating company of DoubleClick by Google is Google
Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, UNITED
STATES.
DoubleClick by Google transmits data to the DoubleClick
server with each impression, clicks, or other activity. Each of these
data transfers triggers a cookie request to the data subject's
browser. If the browser accepts this request, DoubleClick uses a
cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. The
definition of cookies is explained above. The purpose of the cookie
is the optimization and display of advertising. The cookie is used,
inter alia, to display and place user-relevant advertising as well as
to create or improve reports on advertising campaigns. Furthermore,
the cookie serves to avoid multiple display of the same
advertisement.
DoubleClick uses a cookie ID that is required to execute
the technical process. For example, the cookie ID is required to
display an advertisement in a browser. DoubleClick may also use the
Cookie ID to record which advertisements have already been displayed
in a browser in order to avoid duplications. It is also possible for
DoubleClick to track conversions through the cookie ID. For instance,
conversions are captured, when a user has previously been shown a
DoubleClick advertising ad, and he or she subsequently makes a
purchase on the advertiser's website using the same Internet browser.
A cookie from DoubleClick does not contain any personal
data. However, a DoubleClick cookie may contain additional campaign
IDs. A campaign ID is used to identify campaigns that the user has
already been in contact with.
With each call-up to one of the individual pages of this
website, which is operated by the controller and on which a
DoubleClick component was integrated, the Internet browser on the
information technology system of the data subject is automatically
prompted by the respective DoubleClick component to send data for the
purpose of online advertising and billing of commissions to Google.
During the course of this technical procedure, Google gains knowledge
of any data that Google may use to create commission calculations.
Google may, inter alia, understand that the data subject has clicked
on certain links on our website.
The data subject may, as stated above, prevent the
setting of cookies through our website at any time by means of a
corresponding adjustment of the web browser used and thus permanently
deny the setting of cookies. Such an adjustment to the Internet
browser used would also prevent Google from setting a cookie on the
information technology system of the data subject. In addition,
cookies already in use by Google may be deleted at any time via a web
browser or other software programs.
Further information and the applicable data protection
provisions of DoubleClick may be retrieved under DoubleClick by
Google https://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/.

22. Data protection provisions about the application
and use of ADITION
On this website, the controller has integrated
components of ADITION. ADITION is a provider of data-based digital
marketing that provides an advertising platform targeting advertisers
and online marketing agencies.
The operating company of ADITION is ADITION technologies
AG, Oststraße 55, 40211 Düsseldorf, Germany.
The purpose of ADITION is the insertion of digital
advertising media. ADITION uses a cookie on the information
technology system of the data subject. The definition of cookies has
already been explained above. ADITION does not store personal data in
the cookie. All information stored in the cookie is of a technical
nature and enables controller, inter alia, to understand how
frequently certain advertisements are displayed.
The data subject may, as stated above, prevent the

possibility exists that the websites of the controller are not
entirely usable anymore by the data subject.
The applicable data protection provisions of ADITION may
be accessed under https://www.adition.com/en/kontakt/datenschutz/.
23. Legal basis for the processing
Art. 6(1) lit. a GDPR serves as the legal basis for
processing operations for which we obtain consent for a specific
processing purpose. If the processing of personal data is necessary
for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party,
as is the case, for example, when processing operations are necessary
for the supply of goods or to provide any other service, the
processing is based on Article 6(1) lit. b GDPR. The same applies to
such processing operations which are necessary for carrying out
pre-contractual measures, for example in the case of inquiries
concerning our products or services. Is our company subject to a
legal obligation by which processing of personal data is required,
such as for the fulfillment of tax obligations, the processing is
based on Art. 6(1) lit. c GDPR. In rare cases, the processing of
personal data may be necessary to protect the vital interests of the
data subject or of another natural person. This would be the case,
for example, if a visitor were injured in our company and his name,
age, health insurance data or other vital information would have to
be passed on to a doctor, hospital or other third party. Then the
processing would be based on Art. 6(1) lit. d GDPR. Finally,
processing operations could be based on Article 6(1) lit. f GDPR.
This legal basis is used for processing operations which are not
covered by any of the abovementioned legal grounds, if processing is
necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by our
company or by a third party, except where such interests are
overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the
data subject which require protection of personal data. Such
processing operations are particularly permissible because they have
been specifically mentioned by the European legislator. He considered
that a legitimate interest could be assumed if the data subject is a
client of the controller (Recital 47 Sentence 2 GDPR).
24. The legitimate interests pursued by the
controller or by a third party
Where the processing of personal data is based on
Article 6(1) lit. f GDPR our legitimate interest is to carry out our
business in favor of the well-being of all our employees and the
shareholders.
25. Period for which the personal data will be stored
The criteria used to determine the period of storage of
personal data is the respective statutory retention period. After
expiration of that period, the corresponding data is routinely
deleted, as long as it is no longer necessary for the fulfillment of
the contract or the initiation of a contract.
26. Provision of personal data as statutory or
contractual requirement; Requirement necessary to enter into a
contract; Obligation of the data subject to provide the personal
data; possible consequences of failure to provide such data
We clarify that the provision of personal data is partly
required by law (e.g. tax regulations) or can also result from
contractual provisions (e.g. information on the contractual partner).
Sometimes it may be necessary to conclude a contract that the data
subject provides us with personal data, which must subsequently be
processed by us. The data subject is, for example, obliged to provide
us with personal data when our company signs a contract with him or
her. The non-provision of the personal data would have the
consequence that the contract with the data subject could not be
concluded. Before personal data is provided by the data subject, the
data subject must contact any employee. The employee clarifies to the
data subject whether the provision of the personal data is required
by law or contract or is necessary for the conclusion of the
contract, whether there is an obligation to provide the personal data
and the consequences of non-provision of the personal data.
For
questions concerning your personal data and their use, please use our contact page.
