As the operator of this website, we have a legitimate interest in the storage of cookies for the technically error-free and smooth provision of our services. If other cookies are set (e.g. for analysis functions), these will be treated separately in this privacy policy.

Google Analytics
Our website uses functions of the web analysis service Google Analytics. The provider of the web analysis service is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.
Google Analytics uses “cookies.” These are small text files that your web browser stores on your device and enable an analysis of website use. Information generated by means of cookies about your use of our website is transmitted to a Google server and stored there. The server is usually located in the USA.
Google Analytics cookies are set on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. As the operator of this website, we have a legitimate interest in analysing user behaviour in order to optimise our website and, if necessary, advertising.
IP anonymization
We use Google Analytics in conjunction with the IP anonymization function. It ensures that Google shortens your IP address within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area before it is transmitted to the USA. There may be exceptional cases in which Google transmits the full IP address to a server in the USA and shortens it there. On our behalf, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide us with other services related to website and internet usage. The IP address transmitted by Google Analytics will not be merged with other data held by Google.
Browser Plugin
The setting of cookies by your web browser can be prevented. However, some features of our website may be limited as a result. You can also prevent the collection of data relating to your website use, including your IP address, including subsequent processing by Google. This is possible by downloading and installing the browser plugin accessible via the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de.

Details on the handling of user data by Google Analytics can be found in Google’s privacy policy: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245?hl=de.
Order processing
In order to fully comply with the statutory data protection requirements, we have concluded a contract processing agreement with Google.
Demographic characteristics in Google Analytics
Our website uses the “demographic characteristics” feature of Google Analytics. It can be used to create reports that contain statements about the age, gender and interests of the site visitors. This data comes from interest-based advertising from Google as well as visitor data from third-party providers. It is not possible to assign the data to a specific person. You can disable this feature at any time. This can be done via the ad settings in your Google account or by generally prohibiting the collection of your data by Google Analytics, as explained in the section “Objection to data collection”.
Rapidmail
This website uses Rapidmail to send newsletters. The provider is rapidmail GmbH, Augustinerplatz 2, 79098 Freiburg i.Br., Germany. Rapidmail is a service that can be used to organize and analyze the sending of newsletters, among other things. The data you enter for the purpose of subscribing to the newsletter will be stored on Rapidmail’s servers in Germany. If you do not want analysis by Rapidmail, you must unsubscribe from the newsletter. For this purpose, we provide a corresponding link in each newsletter message.
Data analysis by Rapidmail
For the purpose of analysis, the e-mails sent with Rapidmail contain a so-called “tracking pixel”, which connects to Rapidmail’s servers when the e-mail is opened. In this way, it can be determined whether a newsletter message has been opened. Furthermore, we can use Rapidmail to determine whether and which links in the newsletter message are clicked. All of the links in the email are tracking links that can be used to count your clicks. For more information on the analysis functions of Rapidmail, please refer to the following link: https://de.rapidmail.wiki/kategorien/statistiken/.
Legal basis
Data processing is based on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR). You can revoke this consent at any time. The lawfulness of the data processing operations that have already taken place remains unaffected by the revocation.
The data you provide to us for the purpose of subscribing to the newsletter will be stored by us until you unsubscribe from the newsletter and deleted from both our servers and the servers of Rapidmail after you have unsubscribed from the newsletter. Data that has been stored by us for other purposes (e.g. e-mail addresses for the member area) remains unaffected. For more information, please refer to Rapidmail’s data security instructions at: https://www.rapidmail.de/datensicherheit.
Conclusion of a contract for commissioned data processing
