1. An over­view of data pro­tec­tion

Ge­ne­ral in­for­ma­ti­on

The fol­lo­wing in­for­ma­ti­on will pro­vi­de you with an easy to na­vi­ga­te over­view of what will hap­pen with your per­so­nal data when you vi­sit this web­site. The term “per­so­nal data” com­pri­ses all data that can be used to per­so­nal­ly iden­ti­fy you. For de­tail­ed in­for­ma­ti­on about the sub­ject mat­ter of data pro­tec­tion, plea­se con­sult our Data Pro­tec­tion De­cla­ra­ti­on, which we have in­cluded be­neath this copy.

Data re­cor­ding on this web­site

Who is the re­spon­si­ble par­ty for the re­cor­ding of data on this web­site (i.e., the “con­trol­ler”)?

The data on this web­site is pro­ces­sed by the ope­ra­tor of the web­site, who­se cont­act in­for­ma­ti­on is available un­der sec­tion “In­for­ma­ti­on about the re­spon­si­ble par­ty (re­fer­red to as the “con­trol­ler” in the GDPR)” in this Pri­va­cy Po­li­cy.

How do we re­cord your data?

We coll­ect your data as a re­sult of your sha­ring of your data with us. This may, for in­s­tance be in­for­ma­ti­on you en­ter into our cont­act form.

Other data shall be re­cor­ded by our IT sys­tems au­to­ma­ti­cal­ly or af­ter you con­sent to its re­cor­ding du­ring your web­site vi­sit. This data com­pri­ses pri­ma­ri­ly tech­ni­cal in­for­ma­ti­on (e.g., web brow­ser, ope­ra­ting sys­tem, or time the site was ac­ces­sed). This in­for­ma­ti­on is re­cor­ded au­to­ma­ti­cal­ly when you ac­cess this web­site.

What are the pur­po­ses we use your data for?

A por­ti­on of the in­for­ma­ti­on is ge­ne­ra­ted to gua­ran­tee the er­ror free pro­vi­si­on of the web­site. Other data may be used to ana­ly­ze your user pat­terns.

What rights do you have as far as your in­for­ma­ti­on is con­cer­ned?

You have the right to re­cei­ve in­for­ma­ti­on about the source, re­ci­pi­ents, and pur­po­ses of your ar­chi­ved per­so­nal data at any time wi­t­hout ha­ving to pay a fee for such dis­clo­sures. You also have the right to de­mand that your data are rec­ti­fied or era­di­ca­ted. If you have con­sen­ted to data pro­ces­sing, you have the op­ti­on to re­vo­ke this con­sent at any time, which shall af­fect all fu­ture data pro­ces­sing. Mo­reo­ver, you have the right to de­mand that the pro­ces­sing of your data be rest­ric­ted un­der cer­tain cir­cum­s­tances. Fur­ther­mo­re, you have the right to log a com­plaint with the com­pe­tent su­per­vi­sing agen­cy.

Plea­se do not he­si­ta­te to cont­act us at any time if you have ques­ti­ons about this or any other data pro­tec­tion re­la­ted is­sues.

Ana­ly­sis tools and tools pro­vi­ded by third par­ties

The­re is a pos­si­bi­li­ty that your brow­sing pat­terns will be sta­tis­ti­cal­ly ana­ly­zed when your vi­sit this web­site. Such ana­ly­ses are per­for­med pri­ma­ri­ly with what we re­fer to as ana­ly­sis pro­grams.

For de­tail­ed in­for­ma­ti­on about the­se ana­ly­sis pro­grams plea­se con­sult our Data Pro­tec­tion De­cla­ra­ti­on be­low.

2. Hos­ting

We are hos­ting the con­tent of our web­site at the fol­lo­wing pro­vi­der:

IONOS

The pro­vi­der is the IONOS SE, El­gen­dor­fer Str. 57, 56410 Mon­ta­baur, Ger­ma­ny (her­ein­af­ter re­fer­red to as: IONOS). When­ever you vi­sit our web­site, IONOS re­cords va­rious log­files along with your IP ad­dres­ses. For de­tails, plea­se con­sult the data pri­va­cy po­li­cy of IONOS: https://​www​.io​nos​.de/​t​e​r​m​s​-​g​t​c​/​t​e​r​m​s​-​p​r​i​v​acy.

We use IONOS on the ba­sis of Art. 6 (1)(f) GDPR. Our com­pa­ny has a le­gi­ti­ma­te in­te­rest in pre­sen­ting a web­site that is as de­pen­da­ble as pos­si­ble. If ap­pro­pria­te con­sent has been ob­tai­ned, the pro­ces­sing is car­ri­ed out ex­clu­si­ve­ly on the ba­sis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25 (1) TTDSG, in­so­far the con­sent in­cludes the sto­rage of coo­kies or the ac­cess to in­for­ma­ti­on in the user’s end de­vice (e.g., de­vice fin­ger­prin­ting) wi­thin the mea­ning of the TTDSG. This con­sent can be re­vo­ked at any time.

Data pro­ces­sing

We have con­cluded a data pro­ces­sing agree­ment (DPA) for the use of the abo­ve-men­tio­ned ser­vice. This is a con­tract man­da­ted by data pri­va­cy laws that gua­ran­tees that they pro­cess per­so­nal data of our web­site vi­si­tors only ba­sed on our in­s­truc­tions and in com­pli­ance with the GDPR.

3. Ge­ne­ral in­for­ma­ti­on and man­da­to­ry in­for­ma­ti­on

Data pro­tec­tion

The ope­ra­tors of this web­site and its pa­ges take the pro­tec­tion of your per­so­nal data very se­rious­ly. Hence, we hand­le your per­so­nal data as con­fi­den­ti­al in­for­ma­ti­on and in com­pli­ance with the sta­tu­to­ry data pro­tec­tion re­gu­la­ti­ons and this Data Pro­tec­tion De­cla­ra­ti­on.

When­ever you use this web­site, a va­rie­ty of per­so­nal in­for­ma­ti­on will be coll­ec­ted. Per­so­nal data com­pri­ses data that can be used to per­so­nal­ly iden­ti­fy you. This Data Pro­tec­tion De­cla­ra­ti­on ex­plains which data we coll­ect as well as the pur­po­ses we use this data for. It also ex­plains how, and for which pur­po­se the in­for­ma­ti­on is coll­ec­ted.

We here­wi­th ad­vi­se you that the trans­mis­si­on of data via the In­ter­net (i.e., th­rough e‑mail com­mu­ni­ca­ti­ons) may be pro­ne to se­cu­ri­ty gaps. It is not pos­si­ble to com­ple­te­ly pro­tect data against third-par­ty ac­cess.

In­for­ma­ti­on about the re­spon­si­ble par­ty (re­fer­red to as the “con­trol­ler” in the GDPR)

The data pro­ces­sing con­trol­ler on this web­site is:

Plas­mi­on GmbH
Am Mitt­le­ren Moos 48
86167 Augs­burg
Deutsch­land

Pho­ne: +49 821 2071 3355
E‑mail: info@​plasmion.​de

The con­trol­ler is the na­tu­ral per­son or le­gal en­ti­ty that sin­gle-han­dedly or joint­ly with others makes de­cis­i­ons as to the pur­po­ses of and re­sour­ces for the pro­ces­sing of per­so­nal data (e.g., names, e‑mail ad­dres­ses, etc.).

Sto­rage du­ra­ti­on

Un­less a more spe­ci­fic sto­rage pe­ri­od has been spe­ci­fied in this pri­va­cy po­li­cy, your per­so­nal data will re­main with us un­til the pur­po­se for which it was coll­ec­ted no lon­ger ap­pli­es. If you as­sert a ju­s­ti­fied re­quest for de­le­ti­on or re­vo­ke your con­sent to data pro­ces­sing, your data will be de­le­ted, un­less we have other le­gal­ly per­mis­si­ble re­asons for sto­ring your per­so­nal data (e.g., tax or com­mer­cial law re­ten­ti­on pe­ri­ods); in the lat­ter case, the de­le­ti­on will take place af­ter the­se re­asons cea­se to ap­p­ly.

Ge­ne­ral in­for­ma­ti­on on the le­gal ba­sis for the data pro­ces­sing on this web­site

If you have con­sen­ted to data pro­ces­sing, we pro­cess your per­so­nal data on the ba­sis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR or Art. 9 (2)(a) GDPR, if spe­cial ca­te­go­ries of data are pro­ces­sed ac­cor­ding to Art. 9 (1) DSGVO. In the case of ex­pli­cit con­sent to the trans­fer of per­so­nal data to third count­ries, the data pro­ces­sing is also ba­sed on Art. 49 (1)(a) GDPR. If you have con­sen­ted to the sto­rage of coo­kies or to the ac­cess to in­for­ma­ti­on in your end de­vice (e.g., via de­vice fin­ger­prin­ting), the data pro­ces­sing is ad­di­tio­nal­ly ba­sed on § 25 (1) TTDSG. The con­sent can be re­vo­ked at any time. If your data is re­qui­red for the ful­fill­ment of a con­tract or for the im­ple­men­ta­ti­on of pre-con­trac­tu­al me­a­su­res, we pro­cess your data on the ba­sis of Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR. Fur­ther­mo­re, if your data is re­qui­red for the ful­fill­ment of a le­gal ob­li­ga­ti­on, we pro­cess it on the ba­sis of Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR. Fur­ther­mo­re, the data pro­ces­sing may be car­ri­ed out on the ba­sis of our le­gi­ti­ma­te in­te­rest ac­cor­ding to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. In­for­ma­ti­on on the re­le­vant le­gal ba­sis in each in­di­vi­du­al case is pro­vi­ded in the fol­lo­wing pa­ra­graphs of this pri­va­cy po­li­cy.

In­for­ma­ti­on on the data trans­fer to third-par­ty count­ries that are not se­cu­re un­der data pro­tec­tion law and the trans­fer to US com­pa­nies that are not DPF-cer­ti­fied

We use, among other tech­no­lo­gies, tools from com­pa­nies lo­ca­ted in third-par­ty count­ries that are not safe un­der data pro­tec­tion law, as well as US tools who­se pro­vi­ders are not cer­ti­fied un­der the EU-US Data Pri­va­cy Frame­work (DPF). If the­se tools are en­ab­led, your per­so­nal data may be trans­fer­red to and pro­ces­sed in the­se count­ries. We would like you to note that no le­vel of data pro­tec­tion com­pa­ra­ble to that in the EU can be gua­ran­teed in third count­ries that are in­se­cu­re in terms of data pro­tec­tion law.

We would like to point out that the US, as a se­cu­re third-par­ty coun­try, ge­ne­ral­ly has a le­vel of data pro­tec­tion com­pa­ra­ble to that of the EU. Data trans­fer to the US is the­r­e­fo­re per­mit­ted if the re­ci­pi­ent is cer­ti­fied un­der the “EU-US Data Pri­va­cy Frame­work” (DPF) or has ap­pro­pria­te ad­di­tio­nal assu­ran­ces. In­for­ma­ti­on on trans­fers to third-par­ty count­ries, in­clu­ding the data re­ci­pi­ents, can be found in this Pri­va­cy Po­li­cy.

Re­ci­pi­ents of per­so­nal data

In the scope of our busi­ness ac­ti­vi­ties, we co­ope­ra­te with va­rious ex­ter­nal par­ties. In some ca­ses, this also re­qui­res the trans­fer of per­so­nal data to the­se ex­ter­nal par­ties. We only dis­c­lo­se per­so­nal data to ex­ter­nal par­ties if this is re­qui­red as part of the ful­fill­ment of a con­tract, if we are le­gal­ly ob­li­ga­ted to do so (e.g., dis­clo­sure of data to tax aut­ho­ri­ties), if we have a le­gi­ti­ma­te in­te­rest in the dis­clo­sure pur­su­ant to Art. 6 (1)(f) GDPR, or if an­o­ther le­gal ba­sis per­mits the dis­clo­sure of this data. When using pro­ces­sors, we only dis­c­lo­se per­so­nal data of our cus­to­mers on the ba­sis of a va­lid con­tract on data pro­ces­sing. In the case of joint pro­ces­sing, a joint pro­ces­sing agree­ment is con­cluded.

Re­vo­ca­ti­on of your con­sent to the pro­ces­sing of data

A wide ran­ge of data pro­ces­sing tran­sac­tions are pos­si­ble only sub­ject to your ex­press con­sent. You can also re­vo­ke at any time any con­sent you have al­re­a­dy gi­ven us. This shall be wi­t­hout pre­ju­di­ce to the lawful­ness of any data coll­ec­tion that oc­cur­red pri­or to your re­vo­ca­ti­on.

Right to ob­ject to the coll­ec­tion of data in spe­cial ca­ses; right to ob­ject to di­rect ad­ver­ti­sing (Art. 21 GDPR)

IN THE EVENT THAT DATA ARE PROCESSED ON THE BASIS OF ART. 6(1)(E) OR (F) GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO AT ANY TIME OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA BASED ON GROUNDS ARISING FROM YOUR UNIQUE SITUATION. THIS ALSO APPLIES TO ANY PROFILING BASED ON THESE PROVISIONS. TO DETERMINE THE LEGAL BASIS, ON WHICH ANY PROCESSING OF DATA IS BASED, PLEASE CONSULT THIS DATA PROTECTION DECLARATION. IF YOU LOG AN OBJECTION, WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR AFFECTED PERSONAL DATA, UNLESS WE ARE IN A POSITION TO PRESENT COMPELLING PROTECTION WORTHY GROUNDS FOR THE PROCESSING OF YOUR DATA, THAT OUTWEIGH YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS OR IF THE PURPOSE OF THE PROCESSING IS THE CLAIMING, EXERCISING OR DEFENCE OF LEGAL ENTITLEMENTS (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21(1) GDPR).

IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA IS BEING PROCESSED IN ORDER TO ENGAGE IN DIRECT ADVERTISING, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR AFFECTED PERSONAL DATA FOR THE PURPOSES OF SUCH ADVERTISING AT ANY TIME. THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING TO THE EXTENT THAT IT IS AFFILIATED WITH SUCH DIRECT ADVERTISING. IF YOU OBJECT, YOUR PERSONAL DATA WILL SUBSEQUENTLY NO LONGER BE USED FOR DIRECT ADVERTISING PURPOSES (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21(2) GDPR).

Right to log a com­plaint with the com­pe­tent su­per­vi­so­ry agen­cy

In the event of vio­la­ti­ons of the GDPR, data sub­jects are en­tit­led to log a com­plaint with a su­per­vi­so­ry agen­cy, in par­ti­cu­lar in the mem­ber sta­te whe­re they usual­ly main­tain their do­mic­i­le, place of work or at the place whe­re the al­le­ged vio­la­ti­on oc­cur­red. The right to log a com­plaint is in ef­fect re­gard­less of any other ad­mi­nis­tra­ti­ve or court pro­cee­dings available as le­gal re­cour­ses.

Right to data por­ta­bi­li­ty

You have the right to have data that we pro­cess au­to­ma­ti­cal­ly on the ba­sis of your con­sent or in ful­fill­ment of a con­tract han­ded over to you or to a third par­ty in a com­mon, ma­chi­ne-re­a­da­ble for­mat. If you should de­mand the di­rect trans­fer of the data to an­o­ther con­trol­ler, this will be done only if it is tech­ni­cal­ly fe­a­si­ble.

In­for­ma­ti­on about, rec­ti­fi­ca­ti­on and era­di­ca­ti­on of data

Wi­thin the scope of the ap­pli­ca­ble sta­tu­to­ry pro­vi­si­ons, you have the right to de­mand in­for­ma­ti­on about your ar­chi­ved per­so­nal data, their source and re­ci­pi­ents as well as the pur­po­se of the pro­ces­sing of your data at any time. You may also have a right to have your data rec­ti­fied or era­di­ca­ted. If you have ques­ti­ons about this sub­ject mat­ter or any other ques­ti­ons about per­so­nal data, plea­se do not he­si­ta­te to cont­act us at any time.

Right to de­mand pro­ces­sing rest­ric­tions

You have the right to de­mand the im­po­si­ti­on of rest­ric­tions as far as the pro­ces­sing of your per­so­nal data is con­cer­ned. To do so, you may cont­act us at any time. The right to de­mand rest­ric­tion of pro­ces­sing ap­pli­es in the fol­lo­wing ca­ses:

  • In the event that you should dis­pu­te the cor­rect­ness of your data ar­chi­ved by us, we will usual­ly need some time to ve­ri­fy this cla­im. Du­ring the time that this in­ves­ti­ga­ti­on is on­go­ing, you have the right to de­mand that we rest­rict the pro­ces­sing of your per­so­nal data.
  • If the pro­ces­sing of your per­so­nal data was/is con­duc­ted in an un­lawful man­ner, you have the op­ti­on to de­mand the rest­ric­tion of the pro­ces­sing of your data in­s­tead of de­man­ding the era­di­ca­ti­on of this data.
  • If we do not need your per­so­nal data any lon­ger and you need it to exer­cise, de­fend or cla­im le­gal en­tit­le­ments, you have the right to de­mand the rest­ric­tion of the pro­ces­sing of your per­so­nal data in­s­tead of its era­di­ca­ti­on.
  • If you have rai­sed an ob­jec­tion pur­su­ant to Art. 21(1) GDPR, your rights and our rights will have to be weig­hed against each other. As long as it has not been de­ter­mi­ned who­se in­te­rests pr­e­vail, you have the right to de­mand a rest­ric­tion of the pro­ces­sing of your per­so­nal data.

If you have rest­ric­ted the pro­ces­sing of your per­so­nal data, the­se data – with the ex­cep­ti­on of their ar­chi­ving – may be pro­ces­sed only sub­ject to your con­sent or to cla­im, exer­cise or de­fend le­gal en­tit­le­ments or to pro­tect the rights of other na­tu­ral per­sons or le­gal en­ti­ties or for im­portant pu­blic in­te­rest re­asons ci­ted by the Eu­ro­pean Uni­on or a mem­ber sta­te of the EU.

SSL and/or TLS en­cryp­ti­on

For se­cu­ri­ty re­asons and to pro­tect the trans­mis­si­on of con­fi­den­ti­al con­tent, such as purcha­se or­ders or in­qui­ries you sub­mit to us as the web­site ope­ra­tor, this web­site uses eit­her an SSL or a TLS en­cryp­ti­on pro­gram. You can re­co­gni­ze an en­crypt­ed con­nec­tion by che­cking whe­ther the ad­dress line of the brow­ser swit­ches from “http://” to “https://” and also by the ap­pearance of the lock icon in the brow­ser line.

If the SSL or TLS en­cryp­ti­on is ac­ti­va­ted, data you trans­mit to us can­not be read by third par­ties.

4. Re­cor­ding of data on this web­site

Coo­kies

Our web­sites and pa­ges use what the in­dus­try re­fers to as “coo­kies.” Coo­kies are small data packa­ges that do not cau­se any da­ma­ge to your de­vice. They are eit­her stored tem­po­r­a­ri­ly for the du­ra­ti­on of a ses­si­on (ses­si­on coo­kies) or they are per­ma­nent­ly ar­chi­ved on your de­vice (per­ma­nent coo­kies). Ses­si­on coo­kies are au­to­ma­ti­cal­ly de­le­ted once you ter­mi­na­te your vi­sit. Per­ma­nent coo­kies re­main ar­chi­ved on your de­vice un­til you ac­tively de­le­te them, or they are au­to­ma­ti­cal­ly era­di­ca­ted by your web brow­ser.

Coo­kies can be is­sued by us (first-par­ty coo­kies) or by third-par­ty com­pa­nies (so-cal­led third-par­ty coo­kies). Third-par­ty coo­kies enable the in­te­gra­ti­on of cer­tain ser­vices of third-par­ty com­pa­nies into web­sites (e.g., coo­kies for hand­ling pay­ment ser­vices).

Coo­kies have a va­rie­ty of func­tions. Many coo­kies are tech­ni­cal­ly es­sen­ti­al sin­ce cer­tain web­site func­tions would not work in the ab­sence of the­se coo­kies (e.g., the shop­ping cart func­tion or the dis­play of vi­de­os). Other coo­kies may be used to ana­ly­ze user be­ha­vi­or or for pro­mo­tio­nal pur­po­ses.

Coo­kies, which are re­qui­red for the per­for­mance of elec­tro­nic com­mu­ni­ca­ti­on tran­sac­tions, for the pro­vi­si­on of cer­tain func­tions you want to use (e.g., for the shop­ping cart func­tion) or tho­se that are ne­ces­sa­ry for the op­ti­miza­ti­on (re­qui­red coo­kies) of the web­site (e.g., coo­kies that pro­vi­de me­a­sura­ble in­sights into the web au­di­ence), shall be stored on the ba­sis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, un­less a dif­fe­rent le­gal ba­sis is ci­ted. The ope­ra­tor of the web­site has a le­gi­ti­ma­te in­te­rest in the sto­rage of re­qui­red coo­kies to en­su­re the tech­ni­cal­ly er­ror-free and op­ti­mi­zed pro­vi­si­on of the operator’s ser­vices. If your con­sent to the sto­rage of the coo­kies and si­mi­lar re­co­gni­ti­on tech­no­lo­gies has been re­ques­ted, the pro­ces­sing oc­curs ex­clu­si­ve­ly on the ba­sis of the con­sent ob­tai­ned (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25 (1) TTDSG); this con­sent may be re­vo­ked at any time.

You have the op­ti­on to set up your brow­ser in such a man­ner that you will be no­ti­fied any time coo­kies are pla­ced and to per­mit the ac­cep­tance of coo­kies only in spe­ci­fic ca­ses. You may also ex­clude the ac­cep­tance of coo­kies in cer­tain ca­ses or in ge­ne­ral or ac­ti­va­te the de­le­te-func­tion for the au­to­ma­tic era­di­ca­ti­on of coo­kies when the brow­ser clo­ses. If coo­kies are de­ac­ti­va­ted, the func­tions of this web­site may be li­mi­t­ed.

Which coo­kies and ser­vices are used on this web­site can be found in this pri­va­cy po­li­cy.

Con­sent with Borlabs Coo­kie

Our web­site uses the Borlabs con­sent tech­no­lo­gy to ob­tain your con­sent to the sto­rage of cer­tain coo­kies in your brow­ser or for the use of cer­tain tech­no­lo­gies and for their data pri­va­cy pro­tec­tion com­pli­ant do­cu­men­ta­ti­on. The pro­vi­der of this tech­no­lo­gy is Borlabs GmbH, Rü­ben­kamp 32, 22305 Ham­burg, Ger­ma­ny (her­ein­af­ter re­fer­red to as Borlabs).

The re­cor­ded data shall re­main ar­chi­ved un­til you ask us to era­di­ca­te them, de­le­te the Borlabs coo­kie on your own or the pur­po­se of sto­ring the data no lon­ger exists. This shall be wi­t­hout pre­ju­di­ce to any re­ten­ti­on ob­li­ga­ti­ons man­da­ted by law. To re­view the de­tails of Borlabs’ data pro­ces­sing po­li­ci­es, plea­se vi­sit https://​de​.borlabs​.io/​k​b​/​w​e​l​c​h​e​-​d​a​t​e​n​-​s​p​e​i​c​h​e​r​t​-​b​o​r​l​a​b​s​-​c​o​o​k​ie/

We use the Borlabs coo­kie con­sent tech­no­lo­gy to ob­tain the de­cla­ra­ti­ons of con­sent man­da­ted by law for the use of coo­kies. The le­gal ba­sis for the use of such coo­kies is Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR.

Ser­ver log files

The pro­vi­der of this web­site and its pa­ges au­to­ma­ti­cal­ly coll­ects and stores in­for­ma­ti­on in so-cal­led ser­ver log files, which your brow­ser com­mu­ni­ca­tes to us au­to­ma­ti­cal­ly. The in­for­ma­ti­on com­pri­ses:

  • The type and ver­si­on of brow­ser used
  • The used ope­ra­ting sys­tem
  • Re­fer­rer URL
  • The host­na­me of the ac­ces­sing com­pu­ter
  • The time of the ser­ver in­quiry
  • The IP ad­dress

This data is not mer­ged with other data sources.

This data is re­cor­ded on the ba­sis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The ope­ra­tor of the web­site has a le­gi­ti­ma­te in­te­rest in the tech­ni­cal­ly er­ror free de­pic­tion and the op­ti­miza­ti­on of the operator’s web­site. In or­der to achie­ve this, ser­ver log files must be re­cor­ded.

Cont­act form

5. Ana­ly­sis tools and ad­ver­ti­sing

IONOS Web Ana­ly­tics

This web­site uses IONOS Web­Ana­ly­tics ana­ly­sis ser­vices. The pro­vi­der of the­se ser­vices is 1&1 IONOS SE, El­gen­dor­fer Stra­ße 57, 56410 Mon­ta­baur, Ger­ma­ny. In con­junc­tion with the per­for­mance of ana­ly­ses by IONOS, it is pos­si­ble to e.g., ana­ly­ze the num­ber of vi­si­tors and their be­ha­vi­or pat­terns du­ring vi­sits (e.g., num­ber of pa­ges ac­ces­sed, du­ra­ti­on of their vi­sits to the web­site, per­cen­ta­ge of ab­or­ted vi­sits), vi­si­tor ori­g­ins (i.e., from which site does the vi­si­tor ar­ri­ve at our site), vi­si­tor lo­ca­ti­ons as well as tech­ni­cal data (brow­ser and ses­si­on of ope­ra­ting sys­tem used). For the­se pur­po­ses, IONOS ar­chi­ves in par­ti­cu­lar the fol­lo­wing data:

  • Re­fer­rer (pre­vious­ly vi­si­ted web­site)
  • Ac­ces­sed page on the web­site or file
  • Brow­ser type and brow­ser ver­si­on
  • Used ope­ra­ting sys­tem
  • Type of de­vice used
  • Web­site ac­cess time
  • An­ony­mi­zed IP ad­dress (used only to de­ter­mi­ne the ac­cess lo­ca­ti­on)

Ac­cor­ding to IONOS, the data re­cor­ded are com­ple­te­ly an­ony­mi­zed so they can­not be tra­cked back to in­di­vi­du­als. IONOS Web­Ana­ly­tics does not ar­chi­ve coo­kies.

The data are stored and ana­ly­zed pur­su­ant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The ope­ra­tor of the web­site has a le­gi­ti­ma­te in­te­rest in the sta­tis­ti­cal ana­ly­sis of user pat­terns to op­ti­mi­ze both, the operator’s web pre­sen­ta­ti­on as well as the operator’s pro­mo­tio­nal ac­ti­vi­ties. If ap­pro­pria­te con­sent has been ob­tai­ned, the pro­ces­sing is car­ri­ed out ex­clu­si­ve­ly on the ba­sis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25 (1) TTDSG, in­so­far the con­sent in­cludes the sto­rage of coo­kies or the ac­cess to in­for­ma­ti­on in the user’s end de­vice (e.g., de­vice fin­ger­prin­ting) wi­thin the mea­ning of the TTDSG. This con­sent can be re­vo­ked at any time.

For more in­for­ma­ti­on af­fi­lia­ted with the re­cor­ding and pro­ces­sing of data by IONOS Web­Ana­ly­tics, plea­se click on the fol­lo­wing link of the data po­li­cy de­cla­ra­ti­on: https://​www​.io​nos​.de/​t​e​r​m​s​-​g​t​c​/​d​a​t​e​n​s​c​h​u​t​z​e​r​k​l​a​e​r​u​ng/.

Data pro­ces­sing

We have con­cluded a data pro­ces­sing agree­ment (DPA) for the use of the abo­ve-men­tio­ned ser­vice. This is a con­tract man­da­ted by data pri­va­cy laws that gua­ran­tees that they pro­cess per­so­nal data of our web­site vi­si­tors only ba­sed on our in­s­truc­tions and in com­pli­ance with the GDPR.

WP Sta­tis­tics

This web­site uses the WP Sta­tis­tics ana­ly­sis tool to eva­lua­te vi­si­tor ac­ces­ses sta­tis­ti­cal­ly. The pro­vi­der is Ve­ro­nalabs, Ta­ta­ri 64, 10134, Tal­linn, Es­to­nia (https://​ve​ro​nalabs​.com).

WP Sta­tis­tics can be used to ana­ly­ze the use of our web­site. In do­ing so, WP Sta­tis­tics re­cords, among other things, log files (IP ad­dress, re­fer­rer, brow­ser used, ori­gin of the user, search en­gi­ne used) and ac­tions that the web­site vi­si­tors have ta­ken on the site (e.g. clicks and views).

The data coll­ec­ted with WP Sta­tis­tics is stored ex­clu­si­ve­ly on our own ser­ver.

The use of this ana­ly­sis tool is ba­sed on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. We have a le­gi­ti­ma­te in­te­rest in the an­ony­mi­zed ana­ly­sis of user be­ha­vi­or in or­der to op­ti­mi­ze both our web­sites and our ad­ver­ti­sing. If ap­pro­pria­te con­sent has been ob­tai­ned, the pro­ces­sing is car­ri­ed out ex­clu­si­ve­ly on the ba­sis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25 (1) TTDSG, in­so­far the con­sent in­cludes the sto­rage of coo­kies or the ac­cess to in­for­ma­ti­on in the user’s end de­vice (e.g., de­vice fin­ger­prin­ting) wi­thin the mea­ning of the TTDSG. This con­sent can be re­vo­ked at any time.

IP an­ony­miza­ti­on

We use WP Sta­tis­tics with an­ony­mi­zed IP. Your IP ad­dress is shor­ten­ed so that it can no lon­ger be di­rect­ly as­si­gned to you.
