II. Rights of users and stakeholders

With regard to the data processing described in more detail below, users and data subjects have the right to

  • on confirmation whether data concerning them are processed, on information about the processed data, on further information about the data processing as well as on copies of the data (cf. also Art. 15 DSGVO);

Information on data transfers to a third country/USA

The use of some of the services used by us and listed below in this privacy policy may also require the transfer of personal data to third countries that do not currently provide an adequate level of data protection. Insofar as this applies to a specific service used by us, this circumstance will be expressly pointed out in the relevant section at the appropriate place in this data protection declaration. In these cases, it is essential that you take note of the following information on data transfer:

We intend to transfer your personal data to a third country - the United States of America ("USA"). An adequacy decision of the European Commission according to Art. 45 GDPR is missing for transfers of personal data to the USA, as there is no adequate level of data protection in the USA. The data transfer entails the following possible risks for your personal data:

After the transfer of your data, it will be legally and factually possible for US intelligence services to access this data without it being possible for us to completely prevent such access technically or through the application of appropriate legal instruments, for example standard data protection clauses pursuant to Art. 46 para. 2 lit. a GDPR. The legal US regulations that permit such access do not comply with the principles of proportionality in accordance with the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union. It must therefore be expected that your personal data may also be affected by such access if a data transfer is made by us.

The transmission is absolutely necessary for the proper use of the respective service. In the event that you do not give us your consent for the transfer, the service cannot be used and the functions mentioned in the specific section may not be used.

Server data

For technical reasons, in particular to ensure a secure and stable Internet presence, data is transmitted to us or to our web space provider via your Internet browser. With these so-called server log files, the type and version of your Internet browser, the operating system, the website from which you switched to our Internet presence (referrer URL), the website(s) of our Internet presence that you visit, the date and time of the respective access and the IP address of the Internet connection from which the use of our Internet presence takes place are collected.

This data will be stored temporarily, but not together with other data from you.

This storage takes place on the legal basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) DSGVO. Our legitimate interest lies in the improvement, stability, functionality and security of our Internet presence.

The data will be deleted after seven days at the latest, unless further storage is necessary for evidence purposes. Otherwise, the data shall be wholly or partially excluded from erasure until the incident has been finally resolved.

Cookies
a) Session Cookies/Session Cookies

We use so-called cookies with our Internet presence. Cookies are small text files or other storage technologies that are stored on your end device by the Internet browser you use. These cookies process certain information from you to an individual extent, such as your browser or location data or your IP address.

This processing makes our Internet presence more user-friendly, more effective and safer, as the processing enables, for example, the reproduction of our Internet presence in different languages or the offer of a shopping basket function.

The legal basis for this processing is Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b.) DSGVO, insofar as these cookies are used to process data for contract initiation or contract execution.

If the processing does not serve the contract initiation or contract execution, our legitimate interest lies in improving the functionality of our website. The legal basis is then Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) DSGVO.

These session cookies are deleted when you close your Internet browser.

b) Third party cookies

If necessary, cookies from partner companies with whom we cooperate for the purpose of advertising, analysis or the functionalities of our Internet presence may also be used with our Internet presence.

Please refer to the following information for details, in particular on the purposes and legal basis for processing such third-party cookies.

c) Removal possibility

You can prevent or restrict the installation of cookies by setting your Internet browser. You can also delete cookies that have already been saved at any time. However, the steps and measures required for this depend on the Internet browser you are using. If you have any questions, please use the help function or documentation of your Internet browser or contact its manufacturer or support. In the case of so-called flash cookies, however, processing cannot be prevented via the browser settings. Instead, you need to change the setting of your Flash player. The steps and measures required for this also depend on the Flash Player you are using. If you have any questions, please also use the help function or documentation of your Flash player or contact the manufacturer or user support.

Should you prevent or restrict the installation of cookies, this may, however, result in not all functions of our website being fully usable.

Newsletter

If you register for our free newsletter, the data requested from you for this purpose, i.e. your e-mail address and – optionally – your name and address, will be transmitted to us. At the same time, we store the IP address of the Internet connection from which you access our website as well as the date and time of your registration. As part of the further registration process, we will obtain your consent to the sending of the newsletter, specifically describe the content and refer to this privacy statement. We use the collected data exclusively for the newsletter dispatch – they are therefore not passed on to third parties.

The legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) DSGVO.

In accordance with Art. 7 para. 3 DSGVO, you may revoke your consent to receive the newsletter at any time with effect for the future. All you have to do is inform us of your revocation or click on the unsubscribe link contained in each newsletter.

A transfer without this consent does not take place in this respect. You have the right to withdraw your consent in accordance with Art. 7 para. 3 GDPR at any time. As a result, we may not continue to transfer the data based on this consent in the future. The withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of transmission based on consent before its withdrawal. You can declare the withdrawal in the settings of the consent manager on our website by deselecting the service in the overview displayed there. To do this, you only need to deactivate the respective entry for third country transfer in the column of the service.

In addition, Google offers a so-called deactivation add-on under https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de along with further information on this. This add-on can be installed with standard Internet browsers and offers you further control over the data that Google collects when you visit our website. The add-on informs the JavaScript (ga.js) of Google Analytics that information on visiting our website should not be transmitted to Google Analytics. However, this does not prevent information from being transmitted to us or to other web analysis services. Whether and which other web analysis services are used by us is of course also explained in this data protection declaration.

Mailchimp

This website uses the services of MailChimp to send out its newsletters. The provider is the Rocket Science Group LLC, 675 Ponce De Leon Ave NE, Suite 5000, Atlanta, GA 30308, USA. Among other things, MailChimp is a service that can be deployed to organise and analyse the sending of newsletters. With the assistance of the MailChimp tool, we can analyse the performance of our newsletter campaigns. If you open an e-mail that has been sent through the MailChimp tool, a file that has been integrated into the e-mail (a so-called web-beacon) connects to MailChimp’s servers in the United States. As a result, it can be determined whether a newsletter message has been opened and which links the recipient possibly clicked on. Technical information is also recorded at that time (e.g. the time of access, the IP address, type of browser and operating system). This information cannot be allocated to the respective newsletter recipient. Their sole purpose is the performance of statistical analyses of newsletter campaigns. The results of such analyses can be used to tailor future newsletters to the interests of their recipients more effectively. If you do not want to permit an analysis by MailChimp, you must unsubscribe from the newsletter. We provide a link for you to do this in every newsletter message. Moreover, you can also unsubscribe from the newsletter right on the website. 

The data is processed based on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 phr. 1 lit. a GDPR). You may revoke any consent you have given at any time by unsubscribing from the newsletter. This shall be without prejudice to the lawfulness of any data processing transactions that have taken place prior to your revocation. The data deposited with us for the purpose of subscribing to the newsletter will be stored by us until you unsubscribe from the newsletter or the newsletter service provider and deleted from the newsletter distribution list after you unsubscribe from the newsletter. Data that has been stored by us for other purposes (e.g. e-mail addresses for the member area) remains unaffected. You can find more details in the privacy policy of MailChimp at: https://mailchimp.com/legal/terms/.

Whenever you enter data for the purpose of subscribing to a newsletter (e.g. your e-mail address), the information is stored on MailChimp servers in the USA. This is a third country with no adequate level of data protection. Please note in this regard and in particular the risks of a transfer in detail the information in the section “Information on data transfers to a third country/USA”. The legal basis for the transfer is Art. 49 para. 1 phr. 1 lit. a) GDPR, which is why this may only take place with your prior consent.
