Data for which no reference to your person can be established, such as through anonymisation, is not personal data. Processing (e.g. collecting, storing, reading, querying, using, transmitting, deleting or destroying) according to Art. 4 No. 2 GDPR always requires a legal basis or your consent. Processed personal data must be deleted as soon as the purpose of the processing has been achieved and there are no longer any legally prescribed retention obligations to uphold.

We also explain to you the type and scope of the respective data processing, the purpose and the corresponding legal basis and the respective storage period.

This data protection declaration only applies to this website. It does not apply to other websites to which we merely refer by means of a hyperlink. We cannot accept any responsibility for the confidential handling of your personal data on these third-party websites, as we have no influence on whether these companies comply with data protection regulations.

A different cookie is assigned to each Bing Ads customer. Cookies can therefore not be tracked across Bing Ads customers’ websites. We ourselves do not collect or process any personal data in the aforementioned advertising measures. We only receive statistical evaluations from Bing Ads. These evaluations enable us to recognise which of the advertising measures used are particularly effective. We do not receive any further data from the use of the advertising media; in particular, we cannot identify the users on the basis of this information.

Due to the marketing tools used, your browser automatically establishes a direct connection with the Microsoft server.

For this purpose, we have implemented the CND tracking script in our websites. The service uses technically necessary cookies to register the call-up of pages.

Cloudflare

We use the services of the company “Cloudflare” (Cloudflare, Inc., 101 Townsend St, San Francisco, CA 94107, USA) to increase the availability and security of our website.

Cloudflare provides a so-called Content Delivery Network (CDN). This means that website operators can make certain page content available not only on their own servers, but also on servers of CDN providers. If the CDN servers are located closer to the user than the website operator’s servers, the use of a CDN regularly leads to faster loading times for the user. When the user calls up the page of such a website operator, he not only establishes a connection to the website operator, but also to the CDN operator.

In addition, Cloudflare provides website operators with security functions that can be used in particular to defend against automated attacks on the website. By using these functions, the availability of our website and the offers contained therein can be ensured.

Cloudflare sets cookies for the above-mentioned purposes and can thereby process the following categories of data in particular:

IP address,

terminal device of the user,

Data about the traffic between the user and the website operator, e.g. pages accessed, date and time of access.

You can completely prevent Cloudflare from processing your personal data by deactivating the execution of script code in your browser settings or by integrating a so-called script blocker into your browser.

Cloudflare contractually undertakes, on the basis of so-called EU standard data protection clauses, to ensure, when transferring personal data from the European Economic Area, that the recipients comply with a data protection standard that is substantially equivalent to the European standard. Please note, however, that we cannot ensure that Cloudflare will be able to comply with these contractual obligations in every case.

The legal basis for data processing is our legitimate interest in the continuous and secure operation of our website and the defence against hacker attacks (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) DS-GVO).

For more information, please see Cloudflare’s privacy policy at: https://www.cloudflare.com/de-de/privacypolicy/

Google Adwords Conversion Tracking

We use Google Adwords to display advertisements to you on Google and other third party websites. Google Adwords conversion tracking is a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, Tel: +353 1 543 1000, Fax: +353 1 686 5660, Email: [email protected] (“Google”).

With conversion tracking, we can determine how successful the individual advertising measures are.

The advertising is delivered by Google via so-called “ad servers”.

For this purpose, we use cookies that can be used to measure certain parameters for measuring success, such as the display of ads or clicks by users. If you access our website via a Google ad, Google Adwords will store a cookie on your PC. These cookies usually lose their validity after 30 days and are not intended to identify you personally. The unique cookie ID, number of ad impressions per placement (frequency), last impression (relevant for post-view conversions) and opt-out information (marking that the user no longer wishes to be addressed) are usually stored as analysis values for this cookie.

These cookies enable Google to recognise your internet browser. If a user visits certain pages of the website of an Adwords customer and the cookie stored on his computer has not yet expired, Google and the customer can recognise that the user clicked on the ad and was redirected to this page. A different cookie is assigned to each Adwords customer. Cookies can therefore not be tracked via the website of Adwords customers. We ourselves do not collect or process any personal data in the aforementioned advertising measures. We only receive statistical evaluations from Google. These evaluations enable us to recognise which of the advertising measures used are particularly effective. We do not receive any further data from the use of the advertising media; in particular, we cannot identify the users on the basis of this information.

Due to the marketing tools used, your browser automatically establishes a direct connection to Google servers. We have no influence on the scope and further use of the data collected by Google and inform you according to our state of knowledge: Through the integration of AdWords conversion tracking, Google receives the information that you have called up the corresponding part of our website or clicked on an advertisement from us. If you are registered with a Google service, Google can assign the visit to your account. Even if you are not registered with Google or have not logged in, it is possible that the provider may obtain and store your IP address.

The purpose of this is to show you advertising that is of interest to you and to make our website more interesting for you.

The legal basis for the processing of your data is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DS-GVO. Our legitimate interest lies in the analysis, optimisation and economic operation of our website.

The stored data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer required for our purposes.

You may refuse the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser, however please note that if you do this you may not be able to use the full functionality of this website. You can also prevent the collection of data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) by Google and the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plugin available under the following link:

Google Analytics uses “cookies”, which are text files placed on your computer, to help the website analyse how users use the site.

The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there.

On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information for the purpose of systematically evaluating your use of the website, compiling reports on website activity and providing other services relating to website activity and internet usage to the website operator.

If individual pages of our website are called up, the following data is stored:

-three bytes of the IP address of the user’s calling system (anonymised

IP address)

-The accessed web page

-The website from which the user accessed the page of our website (referral URL).

-The subpages that are called up from the page called up

-The length of stay on the website

-The frequency with which the website is accessed

We use Google Analytics with IP anonymisation activated. This ensures that the

IP addresses are shortened by the last octet (e.g. 192.168.79.***; so-called IP masking). An assignment of the shortened IP address to the calling computer or terminal device of the user is no longer possible.

The Google Analytics service is used to analyse the usage behaviour of our website. The legal basis is your consent in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a) DS-GVO.

We delete the stored data as soon as it is no longer required for our recording purposes. In our case, the storage period is a maximum of 24 months.

Google Campaign Manager

We use the online marketing tool Campaign Manager from Google. Campaign Manager is a service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland, Tel: +353 1 543 1000, Fax: +353 1 686 5660, Email: [email protected] (“Google”).

Campaign Manager uses cookies to serve ads that are relevant to users, to improve ad campaign performance or to prevent a user from seeing the same ads more than once.

By means of a cookie ID, Google records which ads are displayed in which browser and can thus prevent ads from being displayed more than once. In addition, Campaign Manager can use cookie IDs to record so-called conversions that are related to ad requests. This is the case, for example, when a user sees a Campaign Manager ad and later visits the advertiser’s website with the same browser and makes a purchase.

Due to the marketing tools used, your browser automatically establishes a direct connection with Google’s server.

Through the integration of Campaign Manager, Google receives the information that you have called up the corresponding part of our website or clicked on an advertisement from us.

If you are registered with a Google service, Google can assign the visit to your account. Even if you are not registered with Google or have not logged in, it is possible that the provider collects and stores your IP address.

The Campaign Manager(DoubleClick Floodlight) cookies used allow us to track whether you take certain actions on our website after you have accessed or clicked on one of our ads on Google or on another platform via Campaign Manager (conversion tracking). This allows us to send you targeted advertising.

The legal basis is consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) DSGVO.

We delete the stored data as soon as it is no longer required for our purposes.

You can prevent cookies from being saved by setting your browser software accordingly. You can deactivate the display of personalised advertising via a browser plug-in at https://support.google.com/ads/answer/7395996?hl=de.

You can also deactivate the display of personalised ads here.

We use the visitor action pixel of the provider Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Dublin 2 D02 X525, Ireland (“Meta”) within our website. The remarketing tag or tracking pixel of Meta was implemented. Meta and we are jointly responsible for the data processing.

The meta pixel makes it possible for Meta to determine the visitors to our online offer as a target group for the display of advertisements (so-called “meta ads”). The tracking of a user can also take place across several websites. We use the meta pixel to display the meta ads placed by us only to those meta users who have shown an interest in our online offer or who have certain characteristics (e.g. interest in certain topics or products determined on the basis of the websites visited), which we transmit to Meta (so-called “custom audiences”).

With the help of the meta pixel, we can also track the effectiveness of the meta ads for statistical and market research purposes (“audience insights”) by seeing whether users were redirected to our website after clicking on a meta ad (so-called “conversion”).

The meta pixel is a Javascript code that sends the following data to Meta:

-HTTP header information : including IP address, web browser information, page location, document, website URL and web browser device (computer, smartphone, tablet, other) as well as day and time of use.

-Pixel specific data: Pixel ID and meta-cookie data including your meta ID (these are used to link events to a specific meta-advertising account and thus associate them with a meta-user).

-Additional information about the visit and about standard and custom data events.

You can find more information here.

We also use the additional function “automatic extended matching”. Here, data such as first and last name, place of residence, email addresses, telephone numbers or Meta IDs of the users are transmitted to Meta in encrypted form for the creation of target groups (“Custom Audiences” or “Look Alike Audiences”). This also includes data from non-Meta users and from users who are not registered with Meta when they visit our website. This can also identify website visitors who have deactivated the storage of third-party cookies.

If no meta-cookies are stored in your browser, no classification into one of the user groups designated as “Custom Audience” will be made. However, if an assignment of the meta ID contained in the meta cookie to a meta user has been made, Meta will assign this user to a so-called “Custom Audience” based on the rules defined by us.

According to the case law of the European Court of Justice, we are jointly responsible with Meta for the operation of the tracking pixel with regard to compliance with data protection regulations. In this context, Meta provides the associated IT infrastructure as well as the website of the social network and is basically the primary contact when it comes to the processing of your data on the pages of the social network (e.g. information or deletion). However, you can also assert your legal rights against us. In this case, we will forward your requests to the operator of the social network. We use the meta pixel to display the “meta ads” we place to meta users who have shown an interest in our online offer or who have certain characteristics that we transmit to Meta (so-called “custom audiences”).

The legal basis for the use of Meta Custom Audience is your consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) DS-GVO.

You can find more information about this here and in Meta’s privacy policy.

Scalable Central Measuring Method (SZM)

Some of our websites use the measurement procedure (“SZMnG”) of INFOnline GmbH (https://www.INFOnline.de) to determine statistical characteristic values about the use of our offers. The aim of the usage measurement is to statistically determine the number of visits to our websites, the number of website visitors and their surfing behaviour – on the basis of a uniform standard procedure – and thus to obtain values that are comparable across the market.

For all digital offerings that are members of the Informationsgemeinschaft zur Feststellung der Verbreitung von Werbeträgern e.V. (IVW – http://www.ivw.eu) or participate in the studies of the Arbeitsgemeinschaft Online-Forschung e.V. (AGOF – http://www.agof.de), the usage statistics are regularly processed further by the AGOF and the Arbeitsgemeinschaft Media-Analyse e.V. (agma – http://www.agma-mmc.de) into reach figures and published with the performance value “Unique User” as well as by the IVW with the performance values “Page Impression” and “Visits”. These ranges and statistics can be viewed on the respective websites.

Legal basis for the processing

The measurement by means of the SZMnG measurement method by INFOnline GmbH is carried out with a legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DS-GVO.

The purpose of the processing of personal data is the creation of statistics and the formation of user categories. The statistics are used to track and document the use of our offer. The user categories form the basis for the interest-based targeting of advertising media and advertising measures. For the marketing of this website, it is essential to measure usage in order to ensure comparability with other market participants. Our legitimate interest results from the economic usability of the findings resulting from the statistics and user categories and the market value of our website – also in direct comparison with third-party websites – which can be determined on the basis of the statistics.

Furthermore, we have a legitimate interest in making the pseudonymised data available to INFOnline, AGOF and IVW for the purpose of market research (AGOF, agma) and for statistical purposes (INFOnline, IVW). Furthermore, we have a legitimate interest in making the pseudonymised data available to INFOnline for the further development and provision of interest-based advertising media.

Type of data

INFOnline GmbH collects the following data, which is personal data according to the DS-GVO:

• IP address: On the internet, every device needs a unique address, the so-called IP address, to transmit data. The storage of the IP address, at least for a short time, is technically necessary due to the way the internet works. The IP addresses are shortened by 1 byte before any processing and are only processed anonymously. Untruncated IP addresses are not stored or further processed.

• A randomly generated client identifier: Range processing alternatively uses either a third-party cookie, a first-party cookie, a “local storage object” or a signature created from various automatically transmitted information from your browser to recognise computer systems. This identifier is unique to a browser as long as the cookie or local storage object is not deleted. Measurement of the data and subsequent assignment to the respective client identifier is therefore also possible if you call up other websites that also use the measurement procedure (“SZMnG”) of INFOnline GmbH.

The validity of the cookie is limited to a maximum of 1 year.

Use of the data

The INFOnline GmbH measurement procedure used on this website determines usage data. This is done in order to collect the performance values page impressions, visits and clients and to form further key figures from them (e.g. qualified clients). In addition, the measured data is used as follows:

• A so-called geolocation, i.e. the assignment of a website call to the location of the call, takes place exclusively on the basis of the anonymised IP address and only up to the geographical level of the federal states / regions. Under no circumstances can the geographical information obtained in this way be used to draw conclusions about the specific location of a user.

Snapchat

On our Snapchat channel, we present our services in short form and inform you about ongoing promotions.

In doing so, personal data of the user will be processed by Snap Group Limited, 77 Shaftesbury Avenue, London, W1D 5DU , United Kingdom (“Snapchat”). Snapchat’s privacy policy can be found at:

https://snap.com/de-DE/privacy/privacy-policy

Snapchat’s analytics features allow us to measure the performance of our channel. For this purpose, Snapchat provides us with the following information in statistical form: Audiences (e.g. characteristics of target groups such as age, gender and region), interactions (e.g. number of views, duration of video playback). It is not possible for us to draw conclusions about individual users or access individual user profiles.

Snapchat Custom Audience / Snapchat Pixel

We use the visitor action pixel of the provider Snap Inc., 2772 Donald Douglas, Loop North, Santa Monica, CA 90405, USA (“Snapchat”) within our website. The remarketing tag or tracking pixel of Snapchat was implemented. Snapchat and we are jointly responsible for the data processing.

The Snapchat pixel makes it possible for Snapchat to determine the visitors to our online offer as a target group for the display of advertisements (so-called “Snapchat ads”). The tracking of a user can also take place across several websites. We use the Snapchat pixel to display the Snapchat ads placed by us only to those Snapchat users who have shown an interest in our online offer or who have certain characteristics (e.g. interest in certain topics or products determined on the basis of the websites visited) that we transmit to Snapchat (so-called “Custom Audiences”).

With the help of the Snapchat pixel, we can also track the effectiveness of the Snapchat ads for statistical and market research purposes (“Audience Insights”) by seeing whether users were redirected to our website after clicking on a Snapchat ad (so-called “conversion”).

The Snapchat pixel is a javascript code that sends the following data to Snapchat:

-HTTP header information : including IP address, web browser information, page location, document, website URL, referrer URL (the address of the website from which the user came to our website) and web browser device (computer, smartphone, tablet, other) and day and time of use.

-Pixel specific data: Pixel ID, default event type (user action)

-First and Third Party Cookies

We also use the function to transmit user parameters such as email address or telephone number to Snapchat. This serves to create target groups (“Custom Audiences” or “Look Alike Audiences”) by assigning user actions to a specific Snapchat account. This also includes data from non-Snapchat users and from users who are not logged into Snapchat when they visit our website. This can also identify website visitors who have deactivated the storage of third-party cookies.

If no Snapchat cookies are stored in your browser, no classification into one of the user groups referred to as “Custom Audience” will be made. However, if the Snapchat ID contained in the Snapchat cookie has been assigned to a Snapchat user, Snapchat will assign this user to a so-called “Custom Audience” based on the rules defined by us.

According to the case law of the European Court of Justice, we are jointly responsible with Snapchat for the operation of the tracking pixel with regard to compliance with data protection regulations. In this context, Snapchat provides the associated IT infrastructure as well as the website of the social network and is basically the primary contact when it comes to the processing of your data on the pages of the social network (e.g. information or deletion). However, you can also assert your legal rights against us. In this case, we will forward your requests to the operator of the social network.

If data is transferred outside the European Union (EU) or the signatory states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area (EEA), Snapchat obliges the recipients to comply with an appropriate data protection standard on the basis of so-called EU standard contractual clauses. In addition, a transfer to a third country may also take place on the basis of the recognition of an adequate level of data protection by the European Commission.

We use the Snapchat pixel to display the “Snapchat ads” we place to Snapchat users who have shown an interest in our online offering or who have certain characteristics that we transmit to Snapchat (so-called “custom audiences”).

The legal basis for the use of Snapchat Custom Audience is your consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) DS-GVO.

Social Plug-ins

We currently use the following social media plug-ins: Facebook, Twitter, Xing, LinkedIn, Snapchat, Tik Tok, Pinterest. In doing so, personal data is transmitted to the respective plug-in provider with the help of a button and stored there.

The respective plug-in provider stores the data collected about you as usage profiles and uses them for purposes of advertising, market research and/or demand-oriented design of its website. Such an evaluation is carried out in particular (also for users who are not logged in) for the display of needs-based advertising and to inform other users of the social network about your activities on some of our websites. You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles, whereby you must contact the respective plug-in provider to exercise this right. Via the plug-ins, we offer you the opportunity to interact with the social networks and other users so that we can improve our offer and make it more interesting for you as a user. The legal basis for the use of the plug-ins is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DS-GVO.

The data transfer takes place regardless of whether you have an account with the plug-in provider and are logged in there. If you are logged in to the plug-in provider, the data we collect is directly assigned to your account with the plug-in provider. In the case of US providers, transmission takes place in the USA;

Tidio – Chatbot

On our website you can use our chatbot. Our automated chat system or a member of staff will respond to your enquiries. The chatbot may request the following categories of data, depending on the need to respond to your request:

First and last name

E-mail address

As a matter of principle, our chatbot does not request sensitive data in the sense of Art. 9 (1) DS-GVO. This includes, for example, information on health, political opinion or ideology. However, if you enter sensitive data of your own accord, this will also be processed by the chatbot. In addition, the chatbot also processes data that you do not actively enter. This serves the technical provision of the chatbot functionality to you. The following additional types of data are processed:

IP address

Timestamp of the messages

Automated decision-making within the meaning of Art. 22 DS-GVO does not take place when using our chatbot. The chatbot responds to you within the scope of your request and does not make any legally relevant decisions. If you would like to speak with a customer service representative, the chatbot will forward you. In this case, the customer service representative has access to your chat history with the chatbot in order to see the context of your request and to be able to advise you as accurately as possible.

We process the data you enter into the chatbot to respond to your request. The legal basis for the processing is generally Article 6 (1) (a) of the GDPR. If you enter sensitive data into the chatbot of your own accord, the legal basis is Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a) DS-GVO. The data you enter into the chatbot may be passed on to the company Tidio, which operates the chatbot as a service provider for us. Tidio has a branch in the UK (Tidio Ltd, 220C Blythe Road, W14 00HH, London) and a branch in the USA (Tidio LLC, 180 Steuart St, CA 94119, San Francisco). To the extent that Tidio’s data is transferred to entities outside the European Union or the European Economic Area, Tidio ensures that the data protection standard in the recipient country is equivalent to the European data protection standard. This is achieved either by transfer on the basis of a decision of the European Commission that the data protection standard in the recipient country is comparable to the European standard, or on the basis of a contractual obligation of the recipients to a standard comparable to the European data protection standard. You can find more information on this at: https://www.tidiochat.com/en/privacy-policy/

As a matter of principle, we only store the data you enter in the chatbot for as long as is necessary to process your request. Subject to legal retention periods, we therefore delete your entered data as soon as your request has been fully processed and further storage of your data is no longer necessary.

Tik Tok

On our TikTok channel we present our services in short form and inform you about current promotions. In doing so, personal data of the user is processed by TikTok Technology Limited, 10 Earlsfort Terrace, Dublin, D02 T380, Ireland (“TikTok”). TikTok’s privacy policy can be found at:

https://www.tiktok.com/legal/privacy-policy?lang=de-DE

TikTok’s analytics features allow us to measure the performance of our channel. For this purpose, TikTok provides us with the following information in statistical form: Audiences (e.g. characteristics of target groups for the delivery of advertisements such as age, gender and country), interactions (e.g. likes, duration of playback of videos), referral information (e.g. from where the users have accessed the video), conclusions about individual users as well as access to individual user profiles by us are not possible.

TikTok Pixel

Within our online offer, the so-called “TikTok pixel” of the social network TikTok, which is operated by TikTok Technology Limited, 10 Earlsfort Terrace, Dublin, D02 T380, Ireland (“TikTok”), is used.

With the help of the TikTok pixel, it is possible for TikTok, on the one hand, to determine you as a visitor to our online offer as a target group for the display of advertisements (so-called “TikTok ads”). Accordingly, we use the TikTok pixel to display the TikTok ads placed by us only to those TikTok users who have also shown an interest in our online offer or who have certain characteristics (e.g. interests in certain topics or products determined on the basis of the websites visited) that we transmit to TikTok (so-called “Custom Audiences”). In particular, the following information is processed for this purpose: Your IP address, device information (e.g. type, brand), the browser system used, the time of the call to our offer and the reaction to the respective campaign transmitted. The legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a DSGVO in conjunction with your consent.

TikTok uses this data to display targeted and personalised advertising to its users and to create interest-based user profiles. With the help of the TikTok pixel, we also want to ensure that our TikTok ads correspond to the potential interest of the users and do not have a harassing effect. The data collected is anonymous and not visible to us and is only used for us in the context of measuring the effectiveness of ad placements.

In principle, your data will be processed within the EU or the EEA. For this purpose, a corresponding data protection agreement has been concluded with TikTok. If personal data is transferred to countries outside the EU or EEA, this is done within the framework of the Commission’s model contracts for the transfer of personal data to third countries (i.e. standard contractual clauses). TikTok’s privacy policy can be found here: https://www.tiktok.com/legal/new-privacy-policy?lang=de-DE

You can object to the collection by the TikTok pixel and use of your data for the display of TikTok ads at any time via the following link.

It is not possible for us to draw conclusions about individual users or access to individual user profiles.

Trusted Shops Widget

Trusted Shops widgets are integrated on this website to display Trusted Shops services (e.g. seal of approval, collected ratings) and to offer Trusted Shops products to buyers after an order has been placed.This serves to protect our legitimate interests, which outweigh our interests in the context of a balancing of interests, in optimal marketing by enabling secure shopping in accordance with Art. 6 (1) p. 1 lit. f DSGVO. The trust badge and the services advertised with it are an offer of Trusted Shops AG, Subbelrather Str. 15C, 50823 Cologne (“Trusted Shops”), with whom we are jointly responsible for data protection pursuant to Art. 26 DSGVO. Within the scope of this data protection notice, we inform you in the following about the essential contractual contents in accordance with Art. 26 (2) DSGVO.

Within the framework of the joint responsibility between us and Trusted Shops, please contact Trusted Shops in the event of data protection questions and to assert your rights, using the contact options specified in the data protection information. Irrespective of this, however, you can always contact the data controller of your choice. Your enquiry will then, if necessary, be passed on to the other responsible party for a response.

The trust badge is provided by a US-American CDN provider (content delivery network). An appropriate level of data protection is ensured by standard data protection clauses and other contractual measures.

When the Trustbadge is called up, the web server automatically saves a so-called server log file, which also contains your IP address, the date and time of the call-up, the amount of data transferred and the requesting provider (access data) and documents the call-up. The IP address is anonymised immediately after collection so that the stored data cannot be assigned to you personally. The anonymised data is used in particular for statistical purposes and for error analysis.

After the order has been completed, order information (order total, order number, product purchased, if applicable) and your email address, which has been hashed using a cryptological one-way function, are transmitted to Trusted Shops. The legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. f DSGVO. This serves to check whether you are already registered for services with Trusted Shops and is therefore necessary for the fulfilment of our and Trusted Shops’ overriding legitimate interests in the provision of the buyer protection linked to the specific order in each case and the transactional evaluation services in accordance with Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. f DSGVO. If this is the case, further processing will be carried out in accordance with the contractual agreement between you and Trusted Shops. If you have not yet registered for the services, you will subsequently be given the opportunity to do so for the first time. Further processing after registration also depends on the contractual agreement with Trusted Shops. If you do not register, all transmitted data will be automatically deleted by Trusted Shops and a personal reference is then no longer possible.

Trusted Shops uses service providers in the areas of hosting, monitoring and logging. The legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO for the purpose of ensuring trouble-free operation. Processing may take place in third countries (USA and Israel). An adequate level of data protection is ensured in the case of the USA through standard data protection clauses and further contractual measures and in the case of Israel through an adequacy decision.

On our XING page, we inform you about career prospects with us and you can contact us directly.

Personal user data is processed by New Work SE, Dammtorstraße 30, 20354 Hamburg (“XING”).

We use the “Recruiter Insights” function from XING. This enables us to find suitable candidates for vacancies based on certain targets (e.g. current position, skills, professional experience, salary expectations) and to contact them directly. The categories of data processed may include all the information provided by the user on his or her own profile page. In addition, statistical – i.e. anonymised – evaluation functions of “Recruiter Insights” enable us to measure the effectiveness of our candidate search, e.g. with the help of information on how candidates were included in our applicant pool (i.e. via job advertisements, projects, recommendations or other means) or on the response rate.

XING users can influence the extent to which their user behaviour may be recorded when visiting our XING site under the settings for advertising preferences. Further options are offered by the XING settings or the form for the right to object. The processing of information by means of the cookie used by XING can also be prevented by not allowing cookies from third-party providers or those from XING in your own browser settings.

Embedding YouTube videos

This website uses the YouTube embedding function to display and play videos from the provider “YouTube”, which belongs to Google LLC., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (“Google”).

The extended data protection mode is used here, which, according to the provider, only triggers the storage of user information when the videos are played. If the playback of embedded YouTube videos is started, the provider “YouTube” uses cookies to collect information about user behaviour. According to YouTube, these cookies are used, among other things, to collect video statistics, to improve user-friendliness and to prevent abusive behaviour. If you are logged in to Google, your data will be directly assigned to your account when you click on a video. If you do not want your data to be associated with your YouTube profile, you must log out before activating the button. Google stores your data (even for users who are not logged in) as usage profiles and evaluates them. Such an evaluation is carried out in particular in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. f DSGVO on the basis of Google’s legitimate interests in the display of personalised advertising, market research and/or the needs-based design of its website. You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles, whereby you must contact YouTube to exercise this right. Independently of a playback of the embedded videos, a connection to the Google network “DoubleClick” is established each time this website is called up, which may trigger further data processing procedures without our influence. Further information on data protection at “YouTube” can be found in the provider’s data protection statement at: https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy
