Introduction
With the following privacy policy, we would like to inform you about what types of your personal data (hereinafter also referred to as "data") we process, for what purposes and to what extent. The privacy policy applies to all processing of personal data carried out by us, both in the context of the provision of our services and in particular on our websites, in mobile applications and within external online presences, such as our social media profiles (hereinafter collectively referred to as "online offer").
The terms used are not gender-specific.
Status: June 30, 2023
Presence in social networks (social media)
We maintain online presences within social networks and process user data in this context in order to communicate with the users active there or to offer information about us.
We would like to point out that user data may be processed outside the European Union. This may result in risks for users because, for example, it could make it more difficult to enforce users' rights.
Furthermore, user data within social networks is generally processed for market research and advertising purposes. For example, user profiles can be created based on user behavior and the resulting interests of users. The user profiles can in turn be used, for example, to place advertisements within and outside the networks that presumably correspond to the interests of the users. For these purposes, cookies are generally stored on the user's computer, in which the user's usage behavior and interests are stored. Furthermore, data can also be stored in the user profiles independently of the devices used by the users (especially if the users are members of the respective platforms and are logged in to them).
For a detailed description of the respective forms of processing and the opt-out options, please refer to the data protection declarations and information provided by the operators of the respective networks.
In the case of requests for information and the assertion of data subject rights, we would also like to point out that these can be asserted most effectively with the providers. Only the providers have access to the user's data and can take appropriate measures and provide information directly. If you still need help, you can contact us.
When you click on a video embedded in our website, a connection to the YouTube service is established. Various personal data is transmitted, including your IP address. YouTube is a service of Google LLC based in the USA, which is why there is a data protection risk, as American security authorities may gain access to data held by Google LLC without your or our knowledge and without you having any legal recourse. On this topic, we recommend reading the documentation "US data law - access to data by US authorities" by the Research Service of the German Bundestag: https://www.bundestag.de/resource/blob/796102/ea53ffe8e08a9ab11e270719263d8c53/WD-3-181-20-pdf-data.pdf (link last accessed on 11.05.2021).
