Privacy

1. Introduction

With the following information, we would like to provide you, as the “data subject”, with an overview of how we process your personal data and of your rights under data protection laws. Use of our website is generally possible without providing personal data. However, if you wish to use specific services offered by our company via our website, it may be necessary to process personal data. If the processing of personal data is necessary and there is no legal basis for such processing, we will generally obtain your consent.

The processing of personal data, for example your name, address or email address, is always carried out in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and in compliance with the country-specific data protection provisions applicable to “360VIER GmbH”. By means of this privacy notice, we would like to inform you about the scope and purpose of the personal data we collect, use and process.

As the controller, we have implemented numerous technical and organisational measures to ensure the most complete protection possible of personal data processed via this website. Nevertheless, internet-based data transmissions may generally have security vulnerabilities, meaning that absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, you are free to transmit personal data to us via alternative means, for example by telephone or post.

2. Controller

The controller within the meaning of the GDPR is:

360VIER GmbH
Curtigasse 6, 64823 Groß-Umstadt, Germany

Telephone: 06078 – 394 9990

Email: info@360vier.de

Representative of the controller: Hans Mengler

3. Data Protection Officer

You can contact the Data Protection Officer as follows:

datenschutz@360vier.de

You may contact our Data Protection Officer at any time with any questions or suggestions regarding data protection.

4. Definitions

This privacy notice is based on the terminology used by the European legislator when adopting the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Our privacy notice is intended to be easy to read and understand for the public as well as for our customers and business partners. To ensure this, we would like to explain the terminology used in advance.

In this privacy notice, we use, among others, the following terms:

  1. Personal data
    Personal data means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. A natural person is considered identifiable if they 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.
  2. Data subject
    A data subject is any identified or identifiable natural person whose personal data is processed by the controller (our company).
  3. Processing
    Processing means any operation or set of operations performed on 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.
  4. Restriction of processing
    Restriction of processing means the marking of stored personal data with the aim of limiting its processing in the future.
  5. Profiling
    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.
  6. Pseudonymisation
    Pseudonymisation means 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 is not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.
  7. Processor
    A processor is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which processes personal data on behalf of the controller.
  8. Recipient
    A recipient is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body to which personal data is 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.
  9. Third party
    A third party is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or body other than the data subject, the controller, the processor and persons who, under the direct authority of the controller or processor, are authorised to process personal data.
  10. Consent
    Consent means any freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous indication of the data subject’s wishes by which the data subject, by a statement or by a clear affirmative action, signifies agreement to the processing of personal data relating to them.

5. Legal basis for processing

Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR (in conjunction with Section 15(3) TMG) 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 you are a party, as is the case, for example, with processing operations required for the delivery of goods or the provision of any other service or consideration, the processing is based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR. The same applies to processing operations that are necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures, for example in cases of enquiries about our products or services.

If our company is subject to a legal obligation that requires the processing of personal data, for example to fulfil tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR.

In rare cases, the processing of personal data may be necessary to protect vital interests of the data subject or another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor were injured on our premises and their name, age, health insurance data or other vital information had to be passed on to a doctor, a hospital or other third parties. In that case, the processing would be based on Art. 6(1)(d) GDPR.

Ultimately, processing operations may be based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. This legal basis applies to processing operations that are not covered by any of the aforementioned legal bases, where processing is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest of our company or a third party, provided that the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not prevail. Such processing operations are permitted in particular because they were expressly mentioned by the European legislator. In this respect, the legislator took the view that a legitimate interest could be assumed if you are a customer of our company (Recital 47 sentence 2 GDPR).

6. Transfer of data to third parties

Your personal data will not be transferred to third parties for purposes other than those listed below.

We only disclose your personal data to third parties if:

  1. you have given your express consent pursuant to Art. 6(1) sentence 1(a) GDPR,
  2. the disclosure is permissible pursuant to Art. 6(1) sentence 1(f) GDPR to safeguard our legitimate interests and there is no reason to assume that you have an overriding legitimate interest in not disclosing your data,
  3. there is a legal obligation for the disclosure pursuant to Art. 6(1) sentence 1(c) GDPR, and
  4. this is legally permissible and required pursuant to Art. 6(1) sentence 1(b) GDPR for the performance of contractual relationships with you.

To protect your data and, where applicable, enable data transfers to third countries (outside the EU/EEA), we have concluded data processing agreements based on the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses.

7. Technology

7.1 SSL/TLS encryption

This website uses SSL or TLS encryption to ensure the security of data processing and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders, login data or contact enquiries that you send to us as the operator. You can recognise an encrypted connection by the fact that “http://” in the browser’s address line changes to “https://” and by the lock symbol in your browser line.

We use this technology to protect the data you transmit.

7.2 Data collection when visiting the website

When you use our website for informational purposes only, i.e. if you do not register or otherwise transmit information to us, we only collect the data that your browser transmits to our server (in so-called “server log files”). Each time you access a page, our website collects a series of general data and information, either by you or by an automated system. This general data and information is stored in the server’s log files. The following may be recorded:

  1. 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 referrer),
  4. the subpages accessed on our website via an accessing system,
  5. the date and time of access to the website,
  6. an Internet Protocol address (IP address),
  7. the Internet service provider of the accessing system.

When using this general data and information, we do not draw any conclusions about your person. Rather, this information is required in order to

  1. deliver the content of our website correctly,
  2. optimise the content of our website and the advertising for it,
  3. ensure the long-term functionality of our IT systems and the technology of our website, and
  4. provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for prosecution in the event of a cyberattack.

We therefore evaluate this collected data and information statistically and also with the aim of increasing data protection and data security in our company, in order ultimately to ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data we process. The data in the server log files is stored separately from any personal data provided by a data subject.

The legal basis for data processing is Art. 6(1) sentence 1(f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest follows from the purposes for data collection listed above.

8. Cookies

8.1 General information about cookies

We use cookies on our website. These are small files that your browser automatically creates and that are stored on your IT system (laptop, tablet, smartphone, etc.) when you visit our website.

The cookie stores information that arises in connection with the specific device used. However, this does not mean that we obtain direct knowledge of your identity.

The use of cookies serves, on the one hand, to make the use of our services more convenient for you. For example, we use so-called session cookies to recognise that you have already visited individual pages of our website. These are automatically deleted when you leave our website.

In addition, we also use temporary cookies to optimise user-friendliness; these are stored on your device for a specified period of time. If you visit our website again to use our services, it is automatically recognised that you have visited us before and which entries and settings you made, so that you do not have to enter them again.

On the other hand, we use cookies to statistically record the use of our website and to evaluate it for the purpose of optimising our services for you. These cookies enable us to automatically recognise, when you visit our website again, that you have visited us before. These cookies are automatically deleted after a defined period of time.

8.2 Legal basis for the use of cookies

The data processed by cookies that are required for the proper functioning of the website is necessary to safeguard our legitimate interests and those of third parties pursuant to Art. 6(1) sentence 1(f) GDPR.

For all other cookies, you have given your consent via our opt-in cookie banner within the meaning of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR.

9. Content of our website

9.1 Contact / contact form

When you contact us (e.g. via contact form or email), personal data is collected. Which data is collected in the case of a contact form can be seen from the respective contact form. This data is stored and used exclusively for the purpose of responding to your enquiry and/or for contacting you and the associated technical administration. The legal basis for processing the data is our legitimate interest in responding to your enquiry pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. If your contact is aimed at concluding a contract, an additional legal basis for processing is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR. Your data will be deleted after your enquiry has been conclusively processed; this is the case when it can be inferred from the circumstances that the matter in question has been conclusively clarified and provided that no statutory retention obligations conflict with this.

9.2 Services / digital goods

We only transfer personal data to third parties if this is necessary in the context of contract processing, for example to the credit institution commissioned with payment processing.

Any further transfer of data does not take place, or only if you have expressly consented to the transfer. Your data will not be passed on to third parties without your express consent, for example for advertising purposes.

The basis for data processing is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR, which permits the processing of data for the performance of a contract or pre-contractual measures.

9.3 Blog comment function

We offer users the opportunity to leave individual comments on individual blog posts on a blog located on our website. A blog is a portal hosted on a website, generally publicly accessible, in which one or more people, referred to as bloggers or web bloggers, post articles or write down thoughts in so-called blog posts. Blog posts can generally be commented on by third parties.

If you leave a comment on the blog published on this website, in addition to the comments you leave, information about the time the comment was entered and the chosen username (pseudonym) will be stored and published. In addition, the IP address assigned by your Internet service provider (ISP) is logged. This IP address is stored for security reasons and in the event that you violate the rights of third parties or post unlawful content by submitting a comment. The storage of this personal data is therefore in our own interest, so that we can exonerate ourselves in the event of a legal violation. This constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. This collected personal data will not be passed on to third parties unless such disclosure is required by law or serves our legal defence.

9.4 Application management / job board

We collect and process applicants’ personal data for the purpose of handling the application process. Processing may also take place electronically. This is the case in particular if an applicant submits corresponding application documents to us electronically, for example by email or via a web form on the website. If we conclude an employment contract with an applicant, the transmitted data will be stored for the purpose of handling the employment relationship in compliance with statutory provisions. If we do not conclude an employment contract with the applicant, the application documents will be automatically deleted two months after notification of the rejection decision, provided that no other legitimate interests on our part prevent deletion. Other legitimate interests in this sense include, for example, an obligation to provide evidence in proceedings under the General Equal Treatment Act (AGG).

The legal basis for processing your data is Art. 88 GDPR in conjunction with Section 26(1) BDSG.

10. Newsletter distribution

10.1 Newsletter distribution to existing customers

If you have provided us with your email address when purchasing goods or services, we reserve the right to regularly send you offers by email for similar goods or services from our range to those you have already purchased. For this purpose, we do not need to obtain separate consent from you pursuant to Section 7(3) UWG. In this respect, data processing is carried out solely on the basis of our legitimate interest in personalised direct advertising pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. If you initially objected to the use of your email address for this purpose, we will not send you emails. You are entitled to object to the use of your email address for the aforementioned advertising purpose at any time with effect for the future by notifying the controller named at the beginning. You will only incur transmission costs according to the basic tariffs. Upon receipt of your objection, the use of your email address for advertising purposes will be discontinued immediately.

10.2 Promotional newsletter

On our website, you are given the opportunity to subscribe to our company’s newsletter. Which personal data is transmitted to us when ordering the newsletter is determined by the input mask used for this purpose.

We inform our customers and business partners at regular intervals by means of a newsletter about our offers. In principle, you can only receive our company’s newsletter if

  1. you have a valid email address, and
  2. you have registered for newsletter distribution.

For legal reasons, a confirmation email is sent to the email address you entered for newsletter distribution for the first time using the double opt-in procedure. This confirmation email serves to verify whether you, as the owner of the email address, have authorised receipt of the newsletter.

When you register for the newsletter, we also store the IP address assigned by your Internet service provider (ISP) of the IT system you used at the time of registration, as well as the date and time of registration. The collection of this data is necessary in order to be able to trace (possible) misuse of your email address at a later point in time and therefore serves our legal protection.

The personal data collected as part of a newsletter registration is used exclusively for sending our newsletter. In addition, newsletter subscribers may be informed by email if this is necessary for the operation of the newsletter service or a related registration, for example in the event of changes to the newsletter offering or changes in technical circumstances. The personal data collected as part of the newsletter service will not be passed on to third parties. You can cancel your subscription to our newsletter at any time. The consent to the storage of personal data that you have given us for newsletter distribution can be revoked at any time. For the purpose of revoking consent, each newsletter contains a corresponding link. Furthermore, you can also unsubscribe from the newsletter distribution at any time directly on our website or inform us of this in another way.

The legal basis for data processing for the purpose of sending the newsletter is Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR.

10.3 Sendinblue

This website uses Sendinblue to send newsletters. The provider is Sendinblue GmbH, Köpenicker Str. 126, 10179 Berlin, Germany.

Sendinblue is a service that can be used, among other things, to organise and analyse the sending of newsletters. The data you enter for the purpose of receiving the newsletter is stored on Sendinblue servers in Germany.

If you do not want Sendinblue to analyse your data, you must unsubscribe from the newsletter. We provide a corresponding link in every newsletter message. You can also unsubscribe from the newsletter directly on the website.

You can revoke the consent you have given at any time. You can also prevent processing at any time by unsubscribing from the newsletter. You can also prevent the storage of cookies by adjusting your web browser settings accordingly. You can also prevent the storage and transmission of personal data by disabling JavaScript in your web browser or installing a JavaScript blocker (e.g. https://noscript.net or https://www.ghostery.com). Please note that these measures may mean that not all functions of our online offering are available.

With the help of Sendinblue, we are able to analyse our newsletter campaigns. For example, we can see whether a newsletter message was opened and which links were clicked, if any. In this way, we can determine, among other things, which links were clicked particularly often.

In addition, we can recognise whether certain predefined actions were carried out after opening/clicking (conversion rate). For example, we can see whether you made a purchase after clicking the newsletter.

Sendinblue also enables us to segment newsletter recipients into different categories (“cluster”). Newsletter recipients can be segmented, for example, by age, gender or place of residence. This allows newsletters to be better tailored to the respective target groups.

For detailed information about Sendinblue’s functions, please refer to the following link: https://www.newsletter2go.de/features/newsletter-software/.

Data processing is carried out on the basis of your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). You can revoke this consent at any time. The lawfulness of the data processing operations already carried out remains unaffected by the revocation.

The data you have provided to us for the purpose of receiving the newsletter will be stored by us until you are removed from the newsletter list and will be deleted after you unsubscribe from the newsletter, both from our servers and from Sendinblue’s servers. Data stored by us for other purposes (e.g. email addresses for the members’ area) remains unaffected.

For further details, please refer to Sendinblue’s privacy policy at: https://www.newsletter2go.de/features/datenschutz-2/.

11. Our activities on social networks

In order to communicate with you on social networks and inform you about our services, we maintain our own pages there. If you visit one of our social media pages, we are jointly responsible with the provider of the respective social media platform for the processing operations triggered thereby that concern personal data, within the meaning of Art. 26 GDPR.

We are not the original provider of these pages, but merely use them within the scope of the possibilities offered by the respective providers.
We therefore point out as a precaution that your data may also be processed outside the European Union or the European Economic Area. Use may therefore entail data protection risks for you, as the enforcement of your rights (e.g. access, deletion, objection, etc.) may be more difficult, and processing in social networks is often carried out by the providers directly for advertising purposes or to analyse user behaviour, without us being able to influence this. If the provider creates user profiles, cookies are often used or usage behaviour is directly assigned to your own member profile on the social networks (if you are logged in there).

The processing operations of personal data described are carried out pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest and the legitimate interest of the respective provider, in order to communicate with you in a contemporary manner and/or inform you about our services. If you must give consent to data processing as a user to the respective providers, the legal basis is Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR in conjunction with Art. 7 GDPR.

As we do not have access to the providers’ data, we would like to point out that you are best able to assert your rights (e.g. access, rectification, deletion, etc.) directly with the respective provider. Further information on the processing of your data in social networks and on how to exercise your right to object or withdraw consent (so-called opt-out) can be found below for each social network provider we use:

12. Web analytics

12.1 Facebook Pixel (Custom Audience)

This website uses the “Facebook Pixel” of Facebook Inc., 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA (“Facebook”). If you have given your express consent, this makes it possible to track users’ behaviour after they have seen or clicked on a Facebook ad. This procedure serves to evaluate the effectiveness of Facebook ads for statistical and market research purposes and can help optimise future advertising measures.

The data collected is anonymous for us, meaning it does not allow us to draw conclusions about users’ identities. However, the 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 Facebook’s data policy (https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/). You can enable Facebook and its partners to place ads on and outside of Facebook. A cookie may also be stored on your computer for these purposes. These processing operations are carried out exclusively upon granting express consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR.

These processing operations are carried out exclusively upon granting explicit consent in accordance with Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR.

To disable the use of cookies on your IT system, you can configure your internet browser so that no cookies can be stored on your IT system in the future and/or delete cookies that have already been stored. However, disabling all cookies may result in some functions on our websites no longer being available. You can also disable the use of cookies by third-party providers such as Facebook on the following Digital Advertising Alliance website: https://www.aboutads.info/choices/

In addition, you can disable cookies for reach measurement and advertising purposes via the following websites:

Please note that this setting will also be deleted if you delete your cookies.

12.2 Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics on our websites, a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited (https://www.google.de/intl/de/about/) (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland; hereinafter “Google”). In this context, pseudonymised usage profiles are created and cookies (see section “Cookies”) are used. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website, such as

  1. browser type/version,
  2. operating system used,
  3. referrer URL (the previously visited page),
  4. hostname of the accessing computer (IP address),
  5. time of the server request,

is transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. The information is used to evaluate the use of the website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide other services related to website use and internet use for the purposes of market research and needs-based design of these web pages. This information may also be transferred to third parties if required by law or insofar as third parties process this data on behalf of Google. Under no circumstances will your IP address be merged with other Google data. IP addresses are anonymised so that they cannot be assigned (IP masking).

You can prevent the installation of cookies by adjusting your browser software settings accordingly; however, we would like to point out that in this case you may not be able to use all functions of this website to their full extent.

These processing operations are carried out exclusively upon granting explicit consent in accordance with Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR.

You can also prevent the collection of the data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) and the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing a browser add-on (https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de).

As an alternative to the browser add-on, especially for browsers on mobile devices, you can also prevent data collection by Google Analytics by clicking the following link: Disable Google Analytics. An opt-out cookie will be set that prevents future collection of your data when you visit this website. The opt-out cookie only applies in this browser and only for our website and is stored on your device. If you delete cookies in this browser, you must set the opt-out cookie again.

Further information on data protection in connection with Google Analytics can be found, for example, in the Google Analytics help (https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245?hl=de).

12.3 Google Analytics Remarketing

We have integrated Google Remarketing services on this website. Google Remarketing is a function of Google AdWords that enables a company to display ads to internet users who have previously visited the company’s website. The integration of Google Remarketing therefore allows a company to create user-related advertising and consequently display interest-relevant ads to the internet user.

The operating company for Google Remarketing services is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

The purpose of Google Remarketing is to display interest-relevant advertising. Google Remarketing enables us to display ads via the Google advertising network or to have them displayed on other websites that are tailored to the individual needs and interests of internet users.

Google Remarketing sets a cookie on the data subject’s IT system. By setting the cookie, Google is able to recognise visitors to our website when they subsequently access websites that are also members of the Google advertising network. Each time a website is accessed on which the Google Remarketing service has been integrated, your internet browser automatically identifies itself to Google. As part of this technical process, Google obtains knowledge of personal data, such as your IP address or browsing behaviour, which Google uses, among other things, to display interest-relevant advertising.

The cookie stores personal information, for example the websites you have visited. Each time you visit our websites, personal data, including your IP address, is therefore transmitted to Google in the United States of America. This personal data is stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may pass on this personal data collected via the technical process to third parties under certain circumstances.

You can prevent the setting of cookies by our website at any time, as described above, by adjusting the settings of the internet browser you use and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Such a setting of the internet browser you use would also prevent Google from setting a cookie on your IT system. In addition, a cookie already set by Google Analytics can be deleted at any time via the internet browser or other software programs.

Furthermore, you have the option to object to interest-based advertising by Google. To do so, you must access the link www.google.de/settings/ads from the internet browser you use and make the desired settings there.

In particular, these processing operations are carried out exclusively upon granting express consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR.

Further information and Google’s applicable privacy policy can be accessed at https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/.

13. Advertising

13.1 Google Ads (formerly AdWords)

Our website uses Google Ads functions; we use them to advertise this website in Google search results and on third-party websites. The provider is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (“Google”). For this purpose, Google sets a cookie in your device’s browser which, by means of a pseudonymous cookie ID and based on the pages you visit, enables interest-based advertising automatically.

These processing operations are carried out exclusively upon granting explicit consent in accordance with Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR.

Further data processing only takes place if you have consented to Google linking your internet and app browser history with your Google account and using information from your Google account to personalise ads that you view on the web. If, in this case, you are logged in to Google while visiting our website, Google will use your data together with Google Analytics data to create and define audience lists for cross-device remarketing. For this purpose, your personal data is temporarily linked by Google with Google Analytics data in order to form audiences.

You can permanently disable the setting of cookies for ad preferences by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available at the following link: https://www.google.com/settings/ads/onweb/

Alternatively, you can obtain information about the setting of cookies and adjust your settings via the Digital Advertising Alliance at www.aboutads.info. You can also configure your browser so that you are informed when cookies are set and can decide individually whether to accept them, or you can exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general. If cookies are not accepted, the functionality of our website may be limited.

You can view further information and Google’s privacy policy regarding advertising here: https://www.google.com/policies/technologies/ads/

14. Plugins and other services

14.1 Google Maps

We use Google Maps (API) on our website, provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. Google Maps is a web service for displaying interactive maps in order to present geographical information visually. By using this service, for example, our location can be displayed to you and directions can be made easier.

As soon as you access the subpages into which the Google Maps map is integrated, information about your use of our website (such as your IP address) is transmitted to Google servers in the USA and stored there. This takes place regardless of whether Google provides a user account that you are logged into or whether no user account exists. If you are logged into Google, your data is assigned directly to your account. If you do not want the data to be associated with your Google profile, you must log out of your Google user account. Google stores your data (even for users who are not logged in) as usage profiles and evaluates them. You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles; to exercise this right, you must contact Google.

If you do not agree to the future transmission of your data to Google in the context of using Google Maps, you can also completely deactivate the Google Maps web service by disabling JavaScript in your browser. Google Maps, and thus the map display on this website, can then no longer be used.

These processing operations are carried out exclusively upon granting explicit consent in accordance with Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR.

14.2 Google reCAPTCHA

We also use the reCAPTCHA function of Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (“Google”) on this website. This function primarily serves to distinguish whether an entry is made by a natural person or abusively by machine and automated processing. The service also includes the transmission of the IP address and, if applicable, other data required by Google for the reCAPTCHA service to Google.

These processing operations are carried out exclusively upon granting explicit consent in accordance with Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR.

14.3 Google Tag Manager

This website uses Google Tag Manager, a cookieless domain that does not collect any personal data.

This tool allows “website tags” (i.e., keywords embedded in HTML elements) to be implemented and managed via an interface. By using Google Tag Manager, we can automatically track which button, link, or personalised image you actively clicked and can then record which content on our website is of particular interest to you.

The tool also triggers other tags, which may in turn collect data. Google Tag Manager does not access this data. If you have disabled tracking at the domain or cookie level, this will remain in effect for all tracking tags implemented via Google Tag Manager.

These processing operations are carried out exclusively upon granting explicit consent in accordance with Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR.

14.4 Google Web Fonts

Our website uses so-called web fonts provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, for the consistent display of fonts. When you access a page, your browser loads the required web fonts into your browser cache in order to display texts and fonts correctly.

For this purpose, the browser you use must connect to Google’s servers. This enables Google to know that our website was accessed via your IP address. The use of Google Web Fonts is in the interest of a consistent and appealing presentation of our website.

These processing operations are carried out exclusively upon granting explicit consent in accordance with Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR.

Further information on Google Web Fonts can be found at https://developers.google.com/fonts/faq and in Google’s privacy notices: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/

When you create a review, the plugin collects and stores your email address as well as technical data in an associated log file, such as your IP address and information about the web browser you use. In addition, the Proven Expert plugin also stores further voluntary information if you provide it.

These processing operations are carried out exclusively upon granting explicit consent in accordance with Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR.

14.6 Vimeo (videos)

Our website uses plugins from the Vimeo video portal, provided by Vimeo, LLC, 555 West 18th Street, New York, New York 10011, USA. When you access a page on our website that contains such a plugin, your browser establishes a direct connection to Vimeo’s servers. The content of the plugin is transmitted by Vimeo directly to your browser and integrated into the page. Through this integration, Vimeo receives the information that your browser has accessed the corresponding page of our website, even if you do not have a Vimeo account or are not currently logged into Vimeo. This information (including your IP address) is transmitted by your browser directly to a Vimeo server in the USA and stored there.

If you are logged into Vimeo, Vimeo can directly associate your visit to our website with your Vimeo account. If you interact with the plugins (e.g., by pressing the start button of a video), this information is also transmitted directly to a Vimeo server and stored there.

The data processing operations described are carried out in accordance with Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR on the basis of Vimeo’s legitimate interest in market research and the needs-based design of the service.

If you do not want Vimeo to directly associate the data collected via our website with your Vimeo account, you must log out of Vimeo before visiting our website.

Please refer to Vimeo’s privacy policy for the purpose and scope of data collection and the further processing and use of the data by Vimeo, as well as your rights and settings options for protecting your privacy: https://vimeo.com/privacy

For Vimeo videos embedded on our site, the Google Analytics tracking tool is automatically integrated. This is Vimeo’s own tracking, which we cannot access and which cannot be influenced from our side. Google Analytics uses so-called “cookies” for tracking; these are text files stored on your computer that enable an analysis of your use of the website. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is generally transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there.

These processing operations are carried out exclusively upon granting explicit consent in accordance with Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR.

14.7 YouTube (videos)

We have integrated components from YouTube on this website. YouTube is an internet video portal that allows video publishers to upload video clips free of charge and other users to view, rate, and comment on them free of charge. YouTube allows the publication of all types of videos, which is why complete film and TV programmes, as well as music videos, trailers, or videos created by users themselves, can be accessed via the internet portal.

The operating company of YouTube is YouTube, LLC, 901 Cherry Ave., San Bruno, CA 94066, USA. YouTube, LLC is a subsidiary of Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

Each time one of the individual pages of this website operated by us is accessed and on which a YouTube component (YouTube video) has been integrated, the internet browser on your IT system is automatically prompted by the respective YouTube component to download a display of the corresponding YouTube component from YouTube. Further information on YouTube can be accessed at https://www.youtube.com/yt/about/de/. As part of this technical process, YouTube and Google obtain knowledge of which specific subpage of our website you visited.

If the data subject is logged into YouTube at the same time, YouTube recognises which specific subpage of our website you are visiting when you access a subpage that contains a YouTube video. This information is collected by YouTube and Google and assigned to your YouTube account.

YouTube and Google always receive information via the YouTube component that you have visited our website if you are logged into YouTube at the time you access our website; this takes place regardless of whether you click on a YouTube video or not. If you do not want this information to be transmitted to YouTube and Google, you can prevent the transmission by logging out of your YouTube account before accessing our website.

These processing operations are carried out exclusively upon granting explicit consent in accordance with Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR.

The privacy policy published by YouTube, which can be accessed at https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/, provides information about the collection, processing, and use of personal data by YouTube and Google.
