Relevant legal bases

Relevant legal bases according to the GDPR: In the following, you will receive an overview of the legal bases of the GDPR, on the basis of which we process personal data. Please note that in addition to the regulations of the GDPR, national data protection regulations may apply in your or our country of residence or place of residence. Should more specific legal bases be decisive in individual cases, we will inform you of this in the data protection declaration.

Consent (Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a) GDPR) – The data subject has given his or her consent to the processing of personal data concerning him or her for a specific purpose or several specific purposes.
Contract fulfilment and pre-contractual requests (Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b) GDPR) – The processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party or necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures taken at the request of the data subject.
Legal obligation (Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. c) GDPR – The processing is necessary to fulfil a legal obligation to which the controller is subject.
Legitimate interests (Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f) GDPR) – the processing is necessary to safeguard the legitimate interests of the controller or a third party, provided that the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject who require the protection of personal data do not prevail.

National data protection regulations in Germany: In addition to the data protection regulations of the GDPR, national regulations on data protection apply in Germany. This includes, in particular, the law on the protection against misuse of personal data during data processing (Federal Data Protection Act – BDSG). In particular, the BDSG contains special regulations on the right to information, the right to erasure, the right to object, to the processing of special categories of personal data, to the processing for other purposes and for the transmission, as well as automated decision-making in individual cases, including profiling. Furthermore, state data protection laws of the individual federal states can be applied.

Note on validity GDPR and Swiss DSG: This data protection notice serves both for the provision of information according to the Swiss DSG and in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). For this reason, we ask you to note that due to the broader spatial application and comprehensibility, the terms of the GDPR are used. In particular, the terms “processing” of “personal data” used in the Swiss DSG, the terms “processing” of “personal data” and “specially sensitive personal data” are used in the GDPR, the terms “processing” of “personal data” as well as “legitimate interest” and “special categories of data” are used. However, the legal meaning of the terms will continue to be determined by the Swiss DSG in the context of the application of the Swiss DSG.

Security measures

In accordance with the legal requirements, we take appropriate technical and organisational measures in accordance with the state of the art, the state of the art, the cost of implementation and the nature, the scope, the circumstances and purposes of the processing, as well as the different probabilities of occurrence and the extent of the threat to the rights and freedoms of natural persons, in order to ensure a level of protection appropriate to the risk.

Measures include, in particular, ensuring the confidentiality, integrity and availability of data by controlling physical and electronic access to the data, as well as access, input, disclosure, availability and separation. Furthermore, we have established procedures that ensure the exercise of data subject rights, the deletion of data and reactions to the risk to the data. We also take into account the protection of personal data already during development or Selection of hardware, software and procedures according to the principle of data protection, through technology design and through data protection-friendly default settings.

Securing online connections with TLS/SSL encryption technology (HTTPS): In order to protect the data of users transmitted via our online services against unauthorized access, we rely on TLS/SSL encryption technology. Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) and Transport Layer Security (TLS) are the cornerstones of secure data transmission on the Internet. These technologies encrypt the information transferred between the user’s website or app and the user’s browser (or between two servers), which protects the data from unauthorized access. TLS, as the enhanced and secure version of SSL, ensures that all data transfers meet the highest security standards. If a website is secured by an SSL/TLS certificate, this is signaled by displaying HTTPS in the URL. This serves as an indicator for users that their data is transmitted securely and encrypted.

Use of cookies

The term “cookies” means functions that store and read information on users’ devices. Cookies may also be used in various requests, for example for the purposes of functioning, the security and comfort of online offers, and the creation of analyses of visitor flows. We use cookies in accordance with legal regulations. If necessary, we will obtain the consent of the users in advance. If consent is not necessary, we rely on our legitimate interests. This is true if the storage and reading of information is essential in order to be able to provide explicitly requested content and functions. This includes, for example, the storage of settings and ensuring the functionality and security of our online offer. The consent can be revoked at any time.

Further information on processing, procedures and services:

Processing of cookie data based on consent: We use a consent management solution to obtain users’ consent to the use of cookies or to the procedures and providers mentioned in the consent management solution. This procedure serves to obtain, register, manage and revoke consent, in particular with regard to the use of cookies and comparable technologies, which are used for storing, reading and processing information on the terminal devices of the users. This procedure collects the consent of the users for the use of cookies and the associated processing of information, including the specific processing and providers mentioned in the consent management procedure. Users also have the option of administering and revocation of their consents. The declarations of consent are stored in order to avoid a request and to be able to provide proof of consent in accordance with the legal requirements. The server is stored on the server side and/or in a cookie (so-called opt-in cookie) or using comparable technologies in order to be able to assign the consent to a specific user or his device. If there is no specific information on the providers of consent management services, the following general information applies: The duration of the storage of the consent is up to two years. A pseudonymous user identifier is created, which, together with the date of consent, the details of the scope of consent (e.g. categories of cookies and/or service providers) as well as information about the browser, system and the end device used is stored; Consent (Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a) GDPR).

Web analysis, monitoring and optimization

The web analysis (also known as “range measurement”) serves to evaluate the flow of visitors to our online offer and may include behaviour, interests or demographic information about visitors, such as age or gender, as pseudonymous values. With the help of the reach analysis, for example, we can identify at which time our online offer or its functions or content are most often used or invite them to reuse. It is also possible for us to understand which areas require optimization.

In addition to web analysis, we can also use test procedures to test and optimise different versions of our online offering or its components.

Unless otherwise stated below, profiles, i.e. data combined for a usage process, can be created and information can be stored in a browser or in a terminal device and then read it out. The information collected includes, in particular, visited websites and elements used there, as well as technical information, such as the browser used, the computer system used, and information on usage times. If users have agreed to the collection of their location data towards us or to the providers of the services we use, the processing of location data is also possible.

In addition, the IP addresses of the users are stored. However, we use an IP masking method (i.e. Pseudonymisation by cutting the IP address) to protect users. In general, the non-component data of the users in the context of web analysis, A/B testing and optimization becomes clear data (e.g. B. E-mail addresses or names) are stored, but pseudonyms. This means that we and the providers of the software used do not know the actual identity of the users, but only the information stored in their profiles for the purpose of the respective procedures.

Legal information: If we ask users to consent to the use of third-party providers, the legal basis for data processing represents the consent. Otherwise, the user data will be based on our legitimate interests (i.e. Interest in efficient, economical and recipient-friendly services). In this context, we would also like to draw your attention to the information on the use of cookies in this privacy policy.

Google Analytics: We use Google Analytics to measure and analyze the use of our online offer based on a pseudonymous user identification number. This identification number does not contain any unique data, such as names or e-mail addresses. It is used to assign analysis information to a device to identify which content users have accessed within or various usage processes, which search terms they have used, re-called or interacted with our online offer. Likewise, the time of use and its duration is stored, as well as the sources of users who refer to our online offer and technical aspects of their devices and browsers.
Pseudonymous profiles of users are created with information from the use of different devices, whereby cookies can be used. Google Analytics does not log and store individual IP addresses for EU users. However, analytics provides rough geographic location data by deriving the following metadata from IP addresses: city (and derived latitude and longitude of the city), continent, country, region, subcontinent (and ID-based counterparts). In EU traffic, the IP address data is used exclusively for this derive of geolocation data before it is deleted immediately. They are not logged, are not accessible and will not be used for further purposes. When Google Analytics collects measurement data, all IP queries are made on EU-based servers before the traffic is forwarded to processing to Analytics servers; service provider: Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland; legal bases: Consent (Art. 6 para. 1 litres. a) GDPR); Website: https://marketingplatform.google.com/intl/de/about/analytics/ ; Security measures: IP masking (pseudonymisation of the IP address); Privacy Policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy ; Order processing contract: http://sbusiness.safety.google/processadsorterms/ ; BasisWiderspruchsmöglichkeit (Opt-Out): St-de, Settings for the display of advertisements: https://myadcenter.google.com/personalizationoff.

Plug-ins and embedded functions and content

We integrate functional and content elements into our online offer, which are obtained from the servers of their respective providers (hereinafter referred to as “third-party providers”). These can be, for example, graphics, videos or city maps (hereinafter uniformly referred to as “content”).

The integration always requires that the third-party providers of this content process the IP address of the users, since they could not send the content to their browser without IP address. The IP address is therefore required for the presentation of these contents or functions. We make every effort to use only those contents whose respective providers apply the IP address only for the delivery of the contents. Third-party providers may also use so-called pixel tags (invisible graphics, also known as “web beacons”) for statistical or marketing purposes. The “pixel tags” can be used to evaluate information, such as visitor traffic on the pages of this website. The pseudonymous information may also be stored in cookies on the user’s device and may include, among other things, technical information about the browser and the operating system, websites to be referred to, at visit time and other information on the use of our online offer, but also to be linked to such information from other sources.

Information on legal bases: If we ask users for their consent to the use of the third-party providers, the legal basis for data processing represents the permission. Otherwise, the user data will be based on our legitimate interests (i.e. Interest in efficient, economical and recipient-friendly services). In this context, we would also like to draw your attention to the information on the use of cookies in this privacy policy.

Processed types of data: Usage data (e.g. B. Page views and residence time, click paths, usage intensity and frequency, device types and operating systems used, content interactions and functionality. Meta-, communication and process data (e.g. B. IP addresses, times, identification numbers, persons involved).
Affected persons: Users (e.g. B. Website visitors, users of online services).
Processing purposes: Provision of our online offer and user-friendliness.
Retention and deletion: Deletion according to information in the section “General information on data storage and deletion”. Storage of cookies of up to 2 years (unless otherwise stated, cookies and similar storage methods may be stored on the devices of the users for a period of two years.).
Legal basis: Consent (Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a) GDPR). Legitimate interests (Art. 6 para. 1 sent 1 lit. f) GDPR).

Google Fonts (referenced by Google Server): Obscribing fonts (and symbols) for the purpose of technically secure, maintenance-free and efficient use of fonts and symbols with regard to timeliness and loading times, their uniform presentation and consideration of possible licensing rights. The provider of the fonts is informed about the user’s IP address so that the fonts can be made available in the user’s browser. In addition, technical data (voice settings, screen resolution, operating system, hardware used) is transmitted, which are necessary for the provision of the fonts depending on the devices used and the technical environment. This data can be processed on a server of the font provider in the USA – When visiting our online offer, the browsers send their browser HTTP requests to the Google Fonts Web API (i.e. a software interface for retrieving the fonts). The Google Fonts Web API provides users with the Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) from Google Fonts and then the fonts specified in the CCS. These HTTP requests include (1) the IP address used by the respective user to access the Internet, (2) the requested URL on the Google server and (3) the HTTP headers, including the user agent, which describes the browser and operating system versions of the website visitors, and the referral URL (i.e. the website on which the Google font should be displayed). IP addresses are neither logged nor stored on Google servers and they are not analysed. The Google Fonts Web API logs details of the HTTP requests (requested URL, user agent and referral URL). Access to this data is limited and strictly controlled. The requested URL identifies the font families for which the user wishes to load fonts. This data is logged so that Google can determine how often a particular font family is requested. With the Google Fonts Web API, the user agent must customize the font that is generated for the respective browser type. The user agent is primarily logged and used for debugging to generate aggregated usage statistics that measure the popularity of font families. These combined usage statistics are published on the “Analysis” page of Google Fonts. Finally, the referral URL is logged so that the data can be used for maintenance of production and an aggregated report on the top integrations can be generated based on the number of font requests. Google uses none of the information collected by Google Fonts to create profiles of end users or to place targeted advertisements, according to its own information; service providers: Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland; legal basis: Legitimate interests (Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f) GDPR); Website: https://fonts.google.com/ ; Privacy Policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy ; Basis for third country transfers: Data Privacy Framework (DPF).
