Order data processing
We have concluded an order data processing contract with Google.
IP-Anonymization
We use the “Activation of IP anonymization” function on this website. This means that your IP address will be shortened beforehand by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. The full IP address is only transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there in exceptional cases. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide the website operator with other services relating to website activity and internet usage. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.
The data processing takes place on the basis of the legal provisions of § 96 Abs 3 TKG as well as Art 6 Abs 1 lit a (consent) and / or f (legitimate interest) of the GDPR. Our concern in the sense of the GDPR (legitimate interest) is the improvement of our Offer and our website. Since the privacy of the user is important to us, the user data is pseudonymized. Your IP address is recorded, but pseudonymized immediately. This means that only a rough localization is possible.
The user data is stored for a period of 14 months at the user and event level before it is automatically deleted from the Analytics servers.

Social Media Cookies
Social media plug-ins are integrated on this website in order to be able to recommend and share articles in social networks, for example Facebook, Twitter. We use a two-stage process for this. Data is only transferred to third parties when users click on one of the icons displayed in the social media bar. We have neither influence on cookies set by Facebook, Twitter, etc., nor access to them.
Facebook PlugIns
This offer uses social plugins (“plugins”) from the social network facebook.com, which is operated by Facebook Inc., 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA (“Facebook”). The plugins can be recognized by one of the Facebook logos (white “f” on a blue tile or a “thumbs up” sign) or are marked with the addition “Facebook Social Plugin”. The list and the appearance of the Facebook social plugins can be viewed here: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/. If a user calls up a website of this offer that contains such a plugin, his browser establishes a direct connection with the Facebook servers.
The content of the plug-in is transmitted directly from Facebook to your browser, which integrates it into the website. The provider therefore has no influence on the amount of data that Facebook collects with the help of this plug-in and therefore informs users according to its level of knowledge: By integrating the plug-in, Facebook receives the information that a user has accessed the corresponding page of the offer. If the user is logged into Facebook, Facebook can assign the visit to their Facebook account. When users interact with the plugins, for example by pressing the Like button or making a comment, the relevant information is sent directly from your browser to Facebook and saved there.
If a user is not a member of Facebook, there is still the possibility that Facebook will find out his IP address and save it. According to Facebook, only an anonymized IP address is saved in Germany. The purpose and scope of the data collection and the further processing and use of the data by Facebook as well as the related rights and setting options to protect the privacy of users can be found in Facebook’s data protection information: https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/ . If a user is a Facebook member and does not want Facebook to collect data about him through this offer and link it to his member data stored on Facebook, he must log out of Facebook before visiting the website. It is also possible to block Facebook social plugins with add-ons for your browser, for example with the “Facebook Blocker”.
