Relevant Legal Bases Below, we provide an overview of the legal bases of the GDPR, on which we process personal data. Please note that in addition to the regulations of the GDPR, national data protection requirements in your or our country of residence or location may apply. If more specific legal bases are relevant in individual cases, we will inform you in the privacy policy.
- Consent (Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR) – The data subject has given consent to the processing of their personal data for one or more specific purposes.
- Contract performance and pre-contractual inquiries (Art. 6 (1) lit. b GDPR) – The processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party or for the execution of pre-contractual measures taken at the data subject’s request.
- Legitimate interests (Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR) – The processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by the controller 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.
Security Measures In accordance with legal requirements and considering the state of the art, the costs of implementation, and the nature, scope, context, and purposes of processing as well as the risk of varying likelihood and severity for the rights and freedoms of natural persons, we take appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure a level of security 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 to, input of, the transfer of, securing of availability, and its separation. Furthermore, we have established procedures that ensure the exercise of data subjects’ rights, deletion of data, and responses to data breaches. Moreover, we consider the protection of personal data in the development or selection of hardware, software, and procedures, in accordance with the principle of privacy by design and by default.
TLS Encryption (https): To protect your data transmitted via our online service, we use TLS encryption. You can recognize such encrypted connections by the prefix https:// in the address bar of your browser.
Transmission of Personal Data As part of our processing of personal data, it may happen that the data is transmitted to other places, companies, legally independent organizational units, or persons or disclosed to them. Recipients of these data may include, for example, service providers tasked with IT tasks or providers of services and content that are integrated into a website. In such cases, we observe the legal requirements and conclude appropriate contracts or agreements that serve the protection of your data with the recipients of your data.
Data Processing in Third Countries If we process data in a third country (i.e., outside the European Union (EU), the European Economic Area (EEA)) or if the processing occurs as part of the use of third-party services or disclosure or transmission of data to other persons, bodies, or companies, this only takes place in compliance with legal requirements.
Subject to express consent or contractual or legally required transmission, we process, or have the data processed only in third countries with a recognized level of data protection, on the basis of special guarantees, such as contractual obligations through so-called standard protection clauses of the EU Commission, certifications or binding internal data protection rules (Art. 44 to 49 GDPR, information page of the EU Commission: https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/law-topic/data-protection/international-dimension-data-protection_en).
Data Deletion The data processed by us will be deleted in accordance with legal requirements as soon as the consents allowing processing are revoked or other permissions cease (e.g., if the purpose for processing the data no longer applies or they are no longer necessary for the purpose). If the data is not deleted because it is required for other and legally permissible purposes, its processing will be limited to these purposes. This means that the data will be blocked and not processed for other purposes. This applies, for example, to data that must be retained for commercial or tax law reasons, or whose storage is necessary for the assertion, exercise, or defense of legal claims, or to protect the rights of another natural or legal person.
Within our privacy notices, we may provide users with additional information about the deletion and retention of data specific to the respective processing processes.
Use of Cookies Cookies are small text files or other memory tags that store information on end devices and read information from the devices, such as to save the login status in a user account, a shopping cart content in an e-shop, the content accessed or functions used in an online service. Cookies can also be used for various purposes, such as for the functionality, security, and comfort of online services, as well as for creating analyses of visitor flows.
Notes on Consent: We use cookies in accordance with legal regulations. Therefore, we obtain prior consent from users, unless legally not required. Consent is particularly not necessary if storing and reading the information, including cookies, is absolutely necessary to provide a telemedia service (our online offer) explicitly requested by the users. The revocable consent is clearly communicated to users and includes information on the specific use of cookies.
Notes on Legal Bases for Data Protection: The legal basis on which we process users’ personal data using cookies depends on whether we ask users for consent. If the users consent, the legal basis for processing their data is the declared consent. Otherwise, the data processed by cookies are based on our legitimate interests (e.g., in an economic operation of our online offer and improving its usability) or if it occurs as part of fulfilling our contractual obligations, if the use of cookies is necessary to fulfill our contractual duties. We clarify the purposes for which the cookies are processed either in this privacy policy or as part of our consent and processing procedures.
Storage Duration: Regarding the storage duration, the following types of cookies are distinguished:
- Temporary Cookies (also: session or session cookies): Temporary cookies are deleted at the latest after a user has left an online offer and closed his end device (e.g., browser or mobile application).
- Permanent Cookies: Permanent cookies remain stored even after the end device is closed. For example, the login status can be saved or preferred content can be displayed directly when the user visits a website again. Similarly, data collected with the help of cookies can be used for measuring reach. Unless we provide users with explicit information about the type and duration of cookies (e.g., during the obtaining of consent), users should assume that cookies are permanent and the storage duration can be up to two years.
General Notes on Revocation and Objection (Opt-Out): Users can revoke their given consents at any time and also object to the processing according to the legal requirements under Art. 21 GDPR. Users can also declare their objection through the settings of their browsers, e.g., by deactivating the use of cookies (which may also limit the functionality of our online services). An objection to the use of cookies for online marketing purposes can also be declared via the websites https://optout.aboutads.info and https://www.youronlinechoices.com/.
Further Notes on Processing Processes, Procedures, and Services:
- Processing of Cookie Data Based on Consent: We employ a procedure for cookie consent management, within which users’ consents to the use of cookies, or the processes and providers mentioned as part of the cookie consent management procedure, can be obtained, managed, and revoked by the users. The declaration of consent is stored to avoid having to repeat its query and to be able to prove the consent according to legal obligations. The storage can occur server-side and/or in a cookie (so-called opt-in cookie, or using comparable technologies) to be able to assign the consent to a user, or their device. Subject to individual details about the providers of cookie management services, the following notes apply: The duration of the storage of consent can be up to two years. Here, a pseudonymous user identifier is created and stored with the time of consent, details on the scope of the consent (e.g., which categories of cookies and/or service providers), as well as the browser, system, and end device used.
Provision of the Online Service and Web Hosting We process users’ data in order to provide them with our online services. For this purpose, we process the user’s IP address, which is necessary to transmit the contents and functions of our online services to the user’s browser or device.

- Collection of Access Data and Log Files: Access to our online offer is logged in the form of so-called “server log files.” Server log files may include the address and name of the retrieved web pages and files, date and time of retrieval, transferred data volumes, notification of successful retrieval, type of browser along with version, the operating system of the user, referrer URL (the previously visited page) and typically IP addresses and the requesting provider. The server log files can be used for security purposes, e.g., to prevent overloading of the servers (especially in the case of abusive attacks, so-called DDoS attacks) and, on the other hand, to ensure the utilization of the servers and their stability; Legal basis: Legitimate Interests (Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR); Data deletion: Logfile information is stored for a maximum of 30 days and then deleted or anonymized. Data required for further retention for evidence purposes are exempt from deletion until the final clarification of the respective incident.

Web Analysis, Monitoring, and Optimization Web analysis (also referred to as “reach measurement”) is used to evaluate the visitor traffic on our online services and may include behavior, interests, or demographic information about visitors, such as age or gender, as pseudonymized values. With reach analysis, for example, we can identify when our online services or their functions or content are most frequently used or invite reuse. We can also identify areas that need optimization.
In addition to web analysis, we also use testing procedures to test and optimize different versions of our online services or their components.
Unless otherwise specified below, profiles, i.e., data aggregated during a usage process, can be created for these purposes, and information can be stored and read from a browser or device. The collected information includes, in particular, visited web pages and elements used there, as well as technical information, such as the browser used, the computer system used, and usage times. If users have consented to the collection of their location data by us or by the providers of the services we use, location data may also be processed.
User IP addresses are also stored. However, we use an IP masking procedure (i.e., pseudonymization by shortening the IP address) to protect users. Generally, no clear data of users (such as email addresses or names) are stored in the context of web analysis, A/B testing, and optimization, but pseudonyms. That is, neither we nor the providers of the software used know the actual identity of the users, but only the information stored in their profiles for the purposes of the respective procedures.
Types of Data Processed:
- Usage data (e.g., visited websites, interest in content, access times)
- Meta/communication and procedural data (e.g., IP addresses, timestamps, identification numbers, consent status)
Data Subjects:
- Users (e.g., website visitors, users of online services)
Purposes of Processing:
- Remarketing; audience targeting (determination of target groups relevant for marketing purposes or other output of content)
- Reach measurement (e.g., access statistics, detection of returning visitors)
- Profiles with user-related information (creation of user profiles)
- Tracking (e.g., interest/behavior-related profiling, use of cookies)
- Provision of our online services and user-friendliness
Security Measures:
- IP masking (pseudonymization of the IP address)
Legal Basis:
- Consent (Article 6 (1) (a) GDPR)

This translation covers the essentials of web analysis and related procedures as you specified, ensuring it aligns with the legal frameworks and technical details applicable to your online services.
Online Marketing We process personal data for online marketing purposes, which particularly includes the marketing of advertising spaces or displaying advertising and other content (collectively referred to as “content”) based on the potential interests of users and measuring their effectiveness.
For these purposes, user profiles are created and stored in a file (commonly known as a “cookie”) or similar methods are used, which store the information relevant to displaying the aforementioned content about users. This information may include viewed content, visited websites, utilized online networks, as well as communication partners, and technical data such as the browser used, the computer system used, as well as data on usage times and utilized features. If users have consented to the collection of their location data, this data may also be processed.
User IP addresses are also stored. However, we use available IP masking methods (i.e., pseudonymization by shortening the IP address) to protect users. Generally, in the context of online marketing, no clear data of users (such as email addresses or names) are stored, but pseudonyms. That is, neither we nor the providers of the online marketing procedures know the actual identity of the users, but only the information stored in their profiles.
The information in the profiles is usually stored in cookies or via similar methods. These cookies can later be read on other websites that use the same online marketing procedures and analyzed for the purpose of displaying content, as well as supplemented with additional data and stored on the server of the online marketing procedure provider.
In exceptional cases, clear data may be assigned to the profiles, for example, when users are members of a social network whose online marketing procedures we use, and the network links the profiles of users with the aforementioned information. We ask users to note that they may make additional arrangements with the providers, such as by consent during registration.
We generally only have access to aggregated information about the success of our advertisements. However, we can check within the scope of so-called conversion measurements which of our online marketing procedures have led to a so-called conversion, i.e., to a contract conclusion with us. The conversion measurement is used solely to analyze the success of our marketing measures.
Unless stated otherwise, please assume that cookies used are stored for a period of two years.
Types of Data Processed:
- Usage data (e.g., visited websites, interest in content, access times)
- Meta/communication and procedural data (e.g., IP addresses, timestamps, identification numbers, consent status)

Further Notes on Processing, Procedures, and Services:
- Google Ads and Conversion Measurement: Online marketing procedures for the purpose of placing content and advertisements within the service provider’s advertising network (e.g., in search results, videos, on websites, etc.), so that they are displayed to users who have an assumed interest in the ads. Additionally, we measure the conversion of the ads, i.e., whether the users have taken the opportunity to interact with the ads and utilize the advertised offers (so-called Conversion). However, we only receive anonymous information and no personal information about individual users; Service provider: Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland; Legal bases: Consent (Article 6 (1) (a) GDPR), Legitimate Interests (Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR); Website: https://marketingplatform.google.com; Privacy Policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy; More Information: Types of processing and the processed data: https://privacy.google.com/businesses/adsservices; Data processing terms between controllers and standard contractual clauses for third-country data
Social Media Presence
We maintain online presences within social networks and process user data in this context to communicate with active users or to provide information about us.
We point out that user data may be processed outside of the European Union. This can pose risks to users because, for example, the enforcement of users’ rights could be impeded.
Furthermore, user data within social networks is typically processed for market research and advertising purposes. For instance, usage profiles can be created based on users’ behavior and resulting interests. These usage profiles may in turn be used to place advertisements within and outside the networks that presumably match the users’ interests. For these purposes, cookies are usually stored on the users’ computers, where their usage behavior and interests are recorded. Additionally, data can be stored in the usage profiles regardless of the devices used by the users (especially if the users are members of the respective platforms and are logged in).
For a detailed presentation of the respective processing forms and the opt-out options, please refer to the privacy statements and information provided by the operators of the respective networks.
In cases of information requests and the assertion of data subject rights, we note that these can be most effectively asserted with the providers. Only the providers have access to the users’ data and can take direct action and provide information. Should you still need help, you can contact us.

Plugins and embedded functions and content
We incorporate functional and content elements into our online offering that are obtained from the servers of their respective providers (hereinafter referred to as “third-party providers”). These may 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 user, as they would not be able to send the content to their browser without the IP address. The IP address is therefore required to display this content or function. We endeavour to only use content whose respective providers only use the IP address to deliver the content. Third-party providers may also use so-called pixel tags (invisible graphics, also known as “web beacons”) for statistical or marketing purposes. Pixel tags can be used to analyse 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 contain, among other things, technical information about the browser and operating system, referring websites, time of visit and other information about the use of our online offer, as well as being linked to such information from other sources.
