In order to increase the protection of your data when visiting our website, the plugins are not integrated into the page without restriction, but only using an HTML link (so-called "Shariff solution" from c't). This integration ensures that when you call up a page of our website that contains such plugins, no connection is yet established with the servers of the provider of the respective social network. If you click on one of the buttons, a new window of your browser opens and calls up the page of the respective service provider on which you can (if necessary after entering your login data) e.g. press the Like or Share button.

YouTube stores your data as usage profiles and uses them for the purposes of advertising, market research and/or designing its website in line with requirements. Such an evaluation is carried out in particular (even for users who are not logged in) to provide needs-based advertising and to inform other users of the social network about your activities on our website. You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles, and you must contact YouTube to exercise this right.

13. retention periods and criteria for the retention of your personal data

All personal data processed will only be stored for as long and as far as this is necessary for the fulfilment of our contractual and legal obligations. Among other things, the data storage is necessary for the execution and processing of the contract, including the defence and enforcement of claims under civil law within the relevant limitation periods. According to §§ 195 ff. BGB, these limitation periods can be up to 30 years, whereby the regular limitation period is 3 years. Retention obligations and resulting retention periods also exist due to tax law, money laundering law, commercial law, tax law and other legal regulations. The retention/documentation periods provided for there are 6 to 10 years. In order not to violate legal regulations or to lose the possibility of enforcing a claim or defending ourselves against such a claim, we reserve the right to delete the data only after the expiry of the last period that legitimises the data storage. For accounting reasons as well as due to legal retention obligations, we generally retain collected personal data for 10 years. Longer legal storage obligations or reasons are reserved.

This data may be summarised by Google in a profile that is assigned to the respective user or their end device.

Google Analytics uses technologies that enable the recognition of the user for the purpose of analysing user behaviour (e.g. cookies or device fingerprinting). The information collected by Google about the use of this website is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there.

IP anonymisation

We have activated the IP anonymisation function on this website. This means that your IP address is shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area before being transmitted to the USA. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information for the purpose of 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. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.

Browser plugin

You can prevent the collection and processing of your data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de.

Furthermore, contextual information such as your location, the content of the website you visited or the Google search terms you entered are also taken into account when selecting the appropriate advertisement.

Google AdSense uses cookies, web beacons (invisible graphics) and similar recognition technologies. This can be used to evaluate information such as visitor traffic on these pages.

The information collected by Google Adsense about the use of this website (including your IP address) and delivery of advertising formats will be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States. This information may be passed on by Google to Google's contractual partners. However, Google will not merge your IP address with other data stored by you.

The use of AdSense is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO. The website operator has a legitimate interest in marketing his website as effectively as possible. Insofar as a corresponding consent has been requested, the processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO; the consent can be revoked at any time.

Access logs ("server logs")

With every access to the Funnel, general log data, so-called server logs, are automatically collected. These data are usually pseudonyms and therefore do not allow any conclusions to be drawn about a natural person. Without this data, it would not be technically possible to deliver and display the contents of the software. In addition, the processing of this data is absolutely necessary for security reasons, in particular for access, input, transfer and storage control. Furthermore, the anonymous information can be used for statistical purposes and for optimising the offer and the technology. In addition, the log files can be subsequently checked and evaluated if there is suspicion of illegal use of the software. The legal basis for this is found in § 15 para. 1 of the German Telemedia Act (TMG) and Art. 6. (1) f DS-GVO. Data such as the domain name of the website, the web browser and web browser version, the operating system and the timestamp of access to the software are generally collected. The IP address of the user is not stored. However, the user is assigned a so-called session ID. The scope of this logging does not exceed the usual scope of any other website on the Internet. The storage period of these access logs is up to 7 days. There is no right of objection.

Collection of user behaviour data

In general, data such as the domain name of the website, the web browser and web browser version, the operating system, the user's session ID and the time stamp of access to the software are collected. All data that the user enters when using the Funnel (e.g. answering form fields; using interactive components) are assigned to the user by means of a session ID and made available to the operator of this website. The operator of this website is responsible for the deletion, storage and further processing of this personal data in accordance with current legislation.

Use of cookies

So-called cookies are used in the funnels. These are small text files that are stored on the device with which you access these funnels. The cookies used serve to ensure security when visiting a website ("absolutely necessary"), to implement certain functionalities such as standard language settings ("functional") and to improve the user experience or performance on the website ("performance"). Within the funnels, strictly necessary, functional and performance cookies are used, in particular to implement certain default settings such as the language, to store responses given even in the event of a poor internet connection or to analyse the performance of a funnel and the channel used by a user to access this funnel. The use of cookies is mandatory for the provision of our services and thus for the fulfilment of the contract (Art. 6 (1) b) DS-GVO). Storage period: Up to 1 month or until the end of the browser session Right of objection: You can determine yourself via your browser settings whether you want to allow cookies or object to the use of cookies. Please note that deactivating cookies may result in limited or completely disabled functionality of the Funnel. The operator of this website has the possibility to decide individually for each funnel used, which decision options for the use of cookies are given to the user. It is the responsibility of the website operator to use cookies in accordance with the applicable legal restrictions. If the website operator uses extensions from external companies within the funnel, it is the responsibility of the website operator to inform the user of this.
