Data privacy

Privacy Policy for the contents and functions of Machinello (hereafter ‘Services’)

1. General

The protection of your personal data and your privacy is extremely important to us. That is why we want to offer you comprehensive transparency regarding the processing of your personal data (GDPR) and regarding the storage of information on your end device or access to information (TDDDG). Because only if the processing of personal data and information is comprehensible to you as the data subject are you sufficiently informed about the scope, purposes and benefits of the processing. This privacy policy applies to all processing of personal data carried out by us as well as to the storage of information on your end devices or access to such information. In other words, both in the context of the provision of our services and within external online presences, such as our social media fan pages.

The controller within the meaning of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the German Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG) and other data protection regulations is

InnoCoding GmbH
Ludgeristraße 7/8
48143 Münster
Germany

E-Mail: info@innocoding.com 

Hereinafter referred to as ‘controller’ or ‘we’.

2. General information on data processing

2.1 Personal data

Personal data is individual information about the personal or factual circumstances of an identified or identifiable natural person.

Individual details about personal or factual circumstances are for example:

  • Name, age, marital status, date of birth
  • Address, telephone number, e-mail-address
  • Account number, credit card number
  • IP address & location data

2.2 How we process personal data

We process personal data within the legally permissible limits. This means that data processing operations are based on a legal basis. These are standardised in Art. 6 para. 1 GDPR. Most data processing is based on a legitimate interest on our part (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR), on processing operations necessary for the performance of a contract (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR) or on the basis of your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR). In the latter case, you will be informed separately (e.g. via a consent banner) about the consent process. 

Personal data will only be processed by us for clear purposes (Art. 5 para. 1 lit. b GDPR). As soon as the purpose of processing ceases to apply, your personal data will be deleted or protected by technical and organisational measures (e.g. by pseudonymisation). 

The same applies to the expiry of a prescribed storage period, subject to cases in which further storage is necessary for the conclusion or fulfilment of a contract. In addition, there may be a legal obligation to store data for a longer period or to pass it on to third parties (in particular to law enforcement authorities). In other cases, the storage period and type of data collected as well as the type of data processing depends on which functions you use in the individual case. We will be happy to provide you with information on this in individual cases in accordance with Art. 15 GDPR.

2.3 We process these categories of data

Data categories are in particular the following data: 

  • Master data (e.g. names, addresses, dates of birth),
  • Contact details (e.g. email addresses, telephone numbers, messenger services),
  • Content data (e.g. text entries, photographs, videos, contents of documents/files),
  • Contract data (e.g. subject matter of the contract, terms, customer category),
  • Payment data (e.g. bank details, payment history, use of other payment service providers),
  • Usage data (e.g. history in our services, use of certain content, access time),
  • Connection data (e.g. device information, IP addresses, URL referrer).

2.4 We take these security measures

In accordance with the legal requirements and taking into account the state of the art, the implementation costs and the nature, scope, circumstances and purposes of the processing as well as the different probabilities of occurrence and the extent of the threat to your rights and freedoms, we take appropriate technical and organisational measures to ensure a level of protection appropriate to the risk.

The measures include, in particular, ensuring that your data is stored and processed confidentially, with integrity and available at all times. The security measures we implement also include controls on access to your data as well as access, input, disclosure, ensuring availability and separating it from the data of other natural persons. Furthermore, we have set up procedures that ensure the exercise of data subject rights (see section 5), the deletion of data and reactions in the event of a risk to your data. Furthermore, we already take the protection of personal data into account when developing our software and through procedures that comply with the principle of data protection through technology design and data protection-friendly default settings.

2.5 How we transfer or disclose personal data to third parties

As part of our processing of your personal data, this data may be transferred or disclosed to other bodies, companies, legally independent organisational units or persons. These third parties may include, for example, payment institutions in the context of payment transactions, service providers commissioned with IT tasks or providers of services and content that we have integrated into our services. If we transfer or disclose your personal data to third parties, we observe the legal requirements and, in particular, conclude corresponding contracts or agreements with the recipients of your data that serve to protect your data.

2.6 How a third party country transfer takes place

If this privacy policy states that we transfer your personal data to a third country, i.e. a country outside the EU or the EEA, the following applies. 

If we process your data in a third country or if the processing takes place in a third country as part of the use of third-party services, this will only take place in accordance with the legal requirements.

Furthermore, data will generally only be transferred to a third country with your express consent. Regardless of whether this has been given or not, we guarantee that we have contractual or legal authorisation to transfer and process your data in the third country in question. Furthermore, we only allow your data to be processed by service providers in third countries that we consider to have a recognised level of data protection. This means, for example, that there is a corresponding adequacy decision between the EU and the country in which we transfer your personal data. An ‘adequacy decision’ is a decision adopted by the European Commission pursuant to Art. 45 GDPR, which determines that a third country (i.e. a country that is not bound by the GDPR) or an international organisation offers an adequate level of protection for personal data. Alternatively, e.g. if there is no adequacy decision, a third country transfer only takes place if, for example, there are contractual obligations between us and the service provider in the third country through so-called standard contractual clauses of the EU Commission and further technical security precautions have been taken to ensure an adequately equivalent level of protection to that in the EU or the service provider in the third country can provide data protection certifications and your data is only processed in accordance with internal data protection regulations (Art. 44 to 49 GDPR. Information page of the EU Commission: ec.europa.eu/info/law/law-topic/data-protection/international-dimension-data-protection_de).

 

As part of the so-called ‘Data Privacy Framework’ (‘DPF’), the EU Commission has recognised the level of data protection for certain companies from the USA as secure within the framework of the adequacy decision of 10.07.2023. A list of certified companies and further information on the DPF can be found on the website of the US Department of Commerce at www.dataprivacyframework.gov. As part of this privacy policy, we will inform you which of the services we use are certified under the Data Privacy Framework.

Information on the cookies used

Cookies are small text files that contain data from websites or domains visited and are stored on your device (computer, tablet or smartphone). When you access a website, the cookie stored on your device sends information to the party that placed the cookie.

2.7.1 Types of cookies

Objectively, we differentiate between 

  • Functional cookies: These cookies are required for the basic technical functions of the services. These cookies enable, for example, a secure login and the storage of the progress of order processes. They also enable us, for example, to save your login data, the contents of your shopping basket and the standardised display of page content.
  • Statistics cookies: These cookies enable us to analyse our services so that we can measure and improve their performance. You can change your personal settings for statistics cookies by clicking on the corresponding opt-out link. 
  • Marketing cookies: These cookies are used by us to provide you with adverts that may be relevant to your interests. These cookies enable, for example, the sharing of pages via social networks and the writing of comments. Offers that may correspond to your interests are also displayed. You can change your personal settings for marketing cookies by clicking on the corresponding opt-out link.

2.7.2 How we use cookies

We want you to be able to make an informed decision in favour of or against the use of cookies that are not absolutely necessary for the technical features of the services. We therefore enable you to choose which cookies you allow in a consent banner when you visit our services for the first time and then permanently in the corresponding settings. Functional cookies are mandatory for visiting our services and are therefore already permitted via our default settings. Statistics and marketing cookies are optional. You can allow them by consenting to the setting of these cookies in the consent banner. Alternatively, you can reject statistics and marketing cookies. Please note that you may be shown adverts even if you refuse the use of statistics and marketing cookies. However, this advertising will then be less focussed on your interests. However, you will still be able to use the full functionality of the services.

2.7.3 Storage duration of cookies

If we do not provide you with explicit information on the storage period of cookies (e.g. in the context of the consent banner), you can assume that the storage period can be up to two years. If cookies have been set on the basis of your consent, you have the option at any time to revoke your consent or to object to the processing of your data by cookie technologies (collectively referred to as ‘opt-out’).

2.8 Consent management

We use Cookiebot as a consent management tool as part of the tracking and analysis activities in our services. Cookiebot is a service of Usercentrics A/S, Havnegade 39, 1058 Copenhagen, Denmark, phone: + 45 50 333 777, e-mail: mail@cookiebot.com (‘Cookiebot’). Cookiebot collects log file and consent data using JavaScript. This JavaScript makes it possible to inform you about your consent to certain tags in our services and to obtain, manage and document this consent.

We process the following data: (1) Consent data (anonymised logbook data (Consent ID, Processor ID, Controller ID), Consent Status, Timestamp), (2) Device data (including shortened IP addresses (IP v4, IP v6), device information, timestamp), (3) User data (including email, ID, browser information, SettingIDs, changelog). The ConsentID (contains the above-mentioned data) and the consent status including timestamp are stored in the local memory of your browser and simultaneously on the cloud servers used by us. Further processing will only take place if you submit a request for information or revoke your consent. We also store personal data that we process using Cookiebot on our servers. The legal basis for the processing of personal data by means of Cookiebot in accordance with the provisions mentioned here results from our legitimate interest as well as for the fulfilment of legal requirements and thus from Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f and c GDPR. We would like to use Cookiebot to fulfil legal requirements for data protection and tracking and thus set up the functioning of our information technology systems in a legally compliant and user-centric manner.

2.9 Data protection provisions about the application and use of the Matomo analysis software

We use the open source web analysis software Matomo on our website to analyze the behavior of visitors to our website and to continuously improve our offer. Matomo is hosted on our own server. We use the cookieless version of Matomo, which does not use tracking cookies by default. Under certain circumstances, however, technically necessary cookies may be set for functionality and security.

Processed data
The following information is processed as part of the analysis

  • Anonymized IP address (the last two bytes are masked, e.g. 192.168.xxx.xxx)
  • Pages visited and duration of the visit
  • Origin page (referrer)
  • Browser and operating system used
  • Screen resolution and device properties (e.g. mobile device, desktop PC)
  • Anonymized user ID (if activated)

 

Anonymization of the data
The data collected by Matomo is processed anonymously so that no conclusions can be drawn about your person. Your IP address is anonymized before it is saved so that it cannot be used in conjunction with other data to identify you.

Possible cookies
Even if we use Matomo without tracking cookies, the following technically necessary cookies may be set in certain cases:

  • piwik_ignore: This cookie is set when you opt out of tracking. It ensures that you are no longer tracked in the future.
  • MATOMO_SESSID: A temporary cookie that is set during the opt-out process to support security measures (e.g. against CSRF attacks).
  • _pk_testcookie: A cookie that is only used to check whether the browser supports cookies. It does not contain any personal data and is deleted immediately.
  • mtm_consent: Is set as soon as you have consented to data collection.
  • mtm_consent_removed: Is set if you revoke your consent to data collection.
     

These cookies do not contain any personal data and are used exclusively for the functionality and management of your consent (Analytics Platform - Matomo).
 

Legal basis
The processing of your data is based on our legitimate interest (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR) in the improvement of our online offer and the optimization of our website. Since no tracking cookies are set with the cookieless version of Matomo, there is no need for a declaration of consent via a cookie banner.

Right to object
If you do not agree with the analysis of your visit, you have the option of deactivating data processing by Matomo. You can do this by activating the “Do Not Track” setting in your browser. If this setting is activated, your visit to our website will not be recorded by Matomo. Alternatively, you can also exclude yourself from tracking via the opt-out procedure on our website, which sets the piwik_ignore cookie.

Hosting of the data
As Matomo is hosted on our own server, the data collected remains exclusively on our servers and is not passed on to third parties.

3. Data processing in connection with the use of our services

The use of our services and all their functions involves the processing of personal data. We explain exactly how this happens here.

3.1 Informational use of our services

Accessing our services for purely informational purposes requires the processing of the following personal data and information: Browser type and browser version, operating system used, address of previously visited websites, IP address of the end device with which you access our services and the time at which you accessed our services. All this information is automatically transmitted by your browser if you have not configured it to suppress the transmission of this information. 

This personal data is processed for the purpose of the functionality and optimisation of our services and to ensure the security of our information technology systems. These purposes are also legitimate interests in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR, so the processing is carried out on a legal basis.

3.2 Use by or after registration

In addition to the purely informational use of our services, you have the option of registering for our services and utilising our entire offering. Our services enable you and your users to select various services and access the content they contain. 

This use of our services may require the processing of personal data and information in the manner described in this Section 3. 

Some processing steps may also be carried out by third-party providers. Data processing by third-party providers is carried out in accordance with the conditions of the relevant data protection declarations. In the case of data processing with third-party providers, this may constitute order processing within the meaning of Art. 28 GDPR. This is subject to strict legal requirements, which we comply with as part of our contractual agreements with our processors. 

Use during or after registration and login and the associated data processing operations may differ from purely informational use. This data associated with your profile is collected for the purpose of verifying your status and the associated fulfilment of our contractual obligations towards you. These are legitimate purposes in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR. If your consent is required for the processing procedure, we will obtain this at the appropriate point (e.g. via the opt-in option in a consent banner when using our service for the first time). If you have any further questions, we will be happy to assist you within the scope of your right to information in accordance with Art. 15 para. 1 GDPR.

3.3 Contact form / contact by email

We process your personal data that you provide to us when you contact us for the purpose of responding to your enquiry, your email or your callback request. The processed data categories are master data, contact data, content data, possibly usage data, connection data and possibly contract data. In individual cases, we forward this data to companies affiliated with us or third parties that we commission to process orders. The legal basis for the processing depends on the purpose of the contact. With your enquiry in the contact form or by contacting us by e-mail, you declare that you would like answers or information on certain topics. You also leave your data for this purpose. We answer your enquiry as requested and process your data for this purpose. Therefore, the authorisation to process your data is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR, as we process it to answer your enquiry and thus to fulfil the contract.

3.4 Setting up and using a user account

You can create a user account (hereinafter also referred to as a ‘profile’) in our services in order to use our services and your features. If you do this, the personal data you enter there will be transmitted to us by your browser and stored in our information technology systems. Your IP address and time of registration are also stored. When you log in to your profile, our service stores cookies on your end device to enable you to remain logged in - even if you have to reload our services in the meantime. By creating a profile, you can use the functions of our services. 

The processing operations associated with the creation of a profile serve the purpose of being able to allocate future usage processes and to be able to access the entire range of our services. When ordering any additions and products from the platform, the processing of your data also serves to fulfil the contract and is therefore earmarked and required in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR. 

The storage of the IP address and time of registration is necessary to ensure the security of our information technology systems. This is also our legitimate interest, which is why the processing is also lawful under Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR

The personal data you enter will be stored by us until your profile is deleted, and beyond that only for as long as processing is necessary for the fulfilment of any contract. 

We do not intend to pass on data to third parties.

3.5 Payment processing

We offer various payment methods for processing payment claims. We use the payment service providers described below for this purpose. We do this for the purpose of providing our services properly and in line with requirements. The data processed in this context is usage data, connection data, master data, payment data, contact data or contract data, such as account numbers or credit card numbers, passwords, TANs and checksums as well as contract, total and recipient-related information. The information is required to carry out the transactions. The data entered is only processed by the payment service providers and stored by them. We do not receive any account or credit card-related information, but only information about the confirmation or negative information about the payment. Under certain circumstances, your data may be transmitted by the payment service providers to credit agencies. The purpose of this transfer is to check your identity and creditworthiness. Please refer to the terms and conditions and data protection information of the payment service providers. The legal basis for the use of payment service providers results from Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR. We can only provide the services promised to you with our services and thus fulfil our contractual obligations if we use third parties, such as payment service providers, to process payment transactions. We have concluded an order processing agreement with each of the payment service providers so that the security of the processing of your data is guaranteed at all times.

Payment Service Provider

Stripe

If you choose a payment method from the payment service provider Stripe, the payment will be processed via the payment service provider Stripe Payments Europe Ltd, 1 Grand Canal Street Lower, Grand Canal Dock, Dublin, Ireland, to whom we will pass on the information you provided during the ordering process together with the information about your order (name, address, account number, bank code, credit card number if applicable, invoice amount, currency and transaction number) in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR. You can find more information about Stripe's data protection at the URL stripe.com/de/privacy;

Stripe reserves the right to carry out a credit check on the basis of mathematical-statistical procedures in order to safeguard its legitimate interest in determining the user's ability to pay. Stripe may transmit the personal data required for a credit check and received in the course of payment processing to selected credit agencies, which Stripe discloses to users on request. The credit report may contain probability values (so-called score values). Insofar as score values are included in the result of the credit report, these are based on a scientifically recognised mathematical-statistical procedure. The calculation of the score values includes, but is not limited to, address data. Stripe uses the result of the credit check in relation to the statistical probability of non-payment for the purpose of deciding on the authorisation to use the selected payment method.

You can object to this processing of your data at any time by sending a message to Stripe or the commissioned credit agencies.

However, Stripe may still be authorised to process your personal data if this is necessary for contractual payment processing.

PayPal

It is possible to process the payment transaction with the online payment service PayPal. PayPal makes it possible to make online payments to third parties. The European operating company of PayPal is PayPal (Europe) S.à.r.l. & Cie. S.C.A., 22-24 Boulevard Royal, 2449 Luxembourg. If you choose PayPal as your payment method, your data required for the payment process will be automatically transmitted to PayPal. This regularly involves the following data:

Name, address, company, e-mail address, telephone and mobile number, IP address. The data transmitted to PayPal may be transmitted by PayPal to credit agencies. The purpose of this transmission is to check identity and creditworthiness. PayPal may also pass on your data to third parties if this is necessary to fulfil contractual obligations or if the data is to be processed on our behalf. You can view PayPal's privacy policy at www.paypal.com/de/webapps/mpp/ua/privacy-full/. The legal basis for data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR, as the processing of the data is necessary for payment with PayPal and thus for the fulfilment of the contract.

3.6 Web hosting

3.6.1 Provision of our services

In order to provide you with our services, we use the services of a web hosting provider. Our services are accessed from the servers of this web hosting provider. For these purposes, we use the infrastructure and platform services, computing capacity, storage space and database services as well as security services and technical maintenance services of the web hosting provider.

The processed data includes all data that you enter in the context of your use and communication in connection with your visit to our services or that is collected from you in the process (e.g. your IP address). Our legal basis for using a web hosting provider to provide our services results from Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR (legitimate interest).

3.6.2 Receiving and sending emails

The web hosting services we use may also include sending, receiving and storing e-mails. For these purposes, the addresses of the recipients of your emails and the senders as well as other information relating to the sending of emails (e.g. the providers involved) and the content of the respective emails are processed. The aforementioned data is processed for purposes such as recognising SPAM. E-mails are generally not sent encrypted on the Internet. Although emails are generally encrypted in transit, they are not encrypted on the servers from which they are sent and received (unless end-to-end encryption is used). We can therefore accept no responsibility for the transmission path of emails between the sender and receipt on our server. Our legal basis for using a web hosting provider to receive and send e-mails results from Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR (legitimate interest).

3.6.3 Collection of access data and log files

We ourselves (or our web hosting provider) collect data on every access to the server (server log files). The server log files may include the address and name of the services and files accessed, date and time of access, data volumes transferred, notification of successful access, browser type and version, your operating system, referrer URL (the previously visited page) and, as a rule, IP addresses and the requesting provider.

The server log files may be used for security purposes, e.g. to prevent server overload (especially in the event of abusive attacks, so-called DDoS attacks) and to ensure server utilisation and stability. Our legal basis for using a web hosting provider to collect access data and log files results from Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR (legitimate interest).

3.7 Newsletter dispatch

With your consent (regularly by subscribing), we will send you newsletters, e-mails and other electronic notifications (hereinafter ‘newsletter’). Our newsletters generally contain technical, commercial and promotional information about our services.

To subscribe to our newsletter, it is generally sufficient for you to provide your e-mail address. If necessary, we may ask you to provide additional information such as your name or similar. 

Registration for our newsletter always takes place in a so-called double opt-in procedure. After registering for our newsletter, you will receive an e-mail asking you to confirm your registration by clicking on a confirmation link. This confirmation is necessary to prevent someone else from subscribing to a newsletter with your e-mail address. We log newsletter registrations for the purpose of being able to prove the registration process in accordance with legal requirements. For this purpose, we store the time of registration and confirmation as well as your IP address. Changes to your data stored with the mailing service provider are also logged.

You can unsubscribe from our newsletter at any time. To do so, simply click on the ‘Unsubscribe’ button in the footer of each newsletter. If you unsubscribe from our newsletter, your email address may be stored for up to three years on the basis of our legitimate interests before we delete it so that we can prove that you previously gave your consent.

If we commission a service provider to send e-mails, this is done on the basis of our legitimate interests in an efficient and secure mailing system.

Our newsletters contain a so-called ‘web-beacon’. A web beacon is a pixel-sized file that is retrieved from our server (or from the server of a mailing service provider) when the newsletter is opened. As part of this retrieval, technical information, such as information about the browser and your system, as well as your IP address and the time of retrieval, is initially collected.

This information is used for the technical improvement of our newsletter based on the technical data or the target groups and their reading behaviour based on their retrieval locations (which can be determined using the IP address) or the access times. This analysis also includes determining whether the newsletters are opened, when they are opened and which links are clicked. For technical reasons, this information can be assigned to individual newsletter recipients. However, it is neither our endeavour nor, if used, that of the mailing service provider to observe individual users. Rather, we use the analyses to recognise the reading habits of our users and to adapt our content to them or to send different content according to the interests of our users.

The evaluation of the newsletter and the measurement of success are carried out, subject to the express consent of the user, on the basis of our legitimate interests for the purposes of using a user-friendly and secure newsletter system that serves both our business interests and meets the expectations of users.

The legal basis for sending newsletters and thus also for the use of web beacons is your consent, provided that you have given it to us by subscribing to the newsletter and therefore results from Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. If you have not given us your consent to send you newsletters, we will not send you any newsletters (any more). The use of web beacons is therefore also automatically cancelled.

3.8 Data protection provisions about the application and use of Google Analytics (with anonymisation function)

The data controller has integrated the Google Analytics component (with anonymisation function) on this website. Google Analytics is a web analytics service. Web analysis is the collection, collation and evaluation of data about the behaviour of visitors to websites. Among other things, a web analysis service collects data about the website from which a data subject came to a website (so-called referrer), which subpages of the website were accessed or how often and for how long a subpage was viewed. Web analysis is mainly used to optimise a website and to analyse the costs and benefits of internet advertising.


The operating company of the Google Analytics component is Google Inc, 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA.


The data controller uses the addition ‘_gat._anonymiseIp’ for web analysis via Google Analytics. This addition is used by Google to shorten and anonymise the IP address of the data subject's Internet connection if our website is accessed from a member state of the European Union or from another state party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area.


The purpose of the Google Analytics component is to analyse the flow of visitors to our website. Google uses the data and information obtained, among other things, to analyse the use of our website, to compile online reports for us that show the activities on our website and to provide other services related to the use of our website.


Google Analytics places a cookie on the data subject's IT system. What cookies are has already been explained above. By setting the cookie, Google is enabled to analyse the use of our website. Each time one of the individual pages of this website is accessed, which is operated by the data controller and on which a Google Analytics component has been integrated, the Internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject is automatically prompted by the respective Google Analytics component to transmit data to Google for the purpose of online analysis. During the course of this technical procedure, Google gains knowledge of personal information, such as the IP address of the data subject, which serves Google, inter alia, to understand the origin of visitors and clicks, and subsequently create commission settlements.


The cookie is used to store personal information, such as the access time, the location from which access was made and the frequency of visits to our website by the data subject. Each time our website is visited, this personal data, including the IP address of the internet connection used by the data subject, is transmitted to Google in the United States of America. This personal data is stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may share this personal data collected through the technical process with third parties.


The data subject may, as stated above, prevent the setting of cookies through our website at any time by means of a corresponding adjustment of the web browser used and thus permanently deny the setting of cookies. Such a setting of the Internet browser used would also prevent Google from placing a cookie on the data subject's IT system. In addition, a cookie already set by Google Analytics can be deleted at any time via the Internet browser or other software programmes.

Furthermore, the data subject has the option of objecting to and preventing the collection of data generated by Google Analytics relating to the use of this website and the processing of this data by Google. To do this, the data subject must download and install a browser add-on from the link tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. This browser add-on informs Google Analytics via JavaScript that no data and information about visits to websites may be transmitted to Google Analytics. The installation of the browser add-on is recognised by Google as an objection. If the data subject's IT system is deleted, formatted or reinstalled at a later date, the data subject must reinstall the browser add-on in order to deactivate Google Analytics. If the browser add-on is uninstalled or deactivated by the data subject or another person who is attributable to their sphere of control, it is possible to reinstall or reactivate the browser add-on.

Further information and the applicable data protection provisions of Google may be retrieved under www.google.de/intl/en/policies/privacy/ and under www.google.com/analytics/terms/us.html. Google Analytics is explained in more detail at this link www.google.com/intl/uk_en/analytics/.


As an extension to Google Analytics 4, Google Signals can be used on this website to generate cross-device reports. If you have activated personalised ads and have linked your devices to your Google account, Google can analyse your usage behaviour across devices and create database models, including for cross-device conversions, subject to your consent to the use of Google Analytics in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. We do not receive any personal data from Google, only statistics. If you want to stop the cross-device analysis, you can deactivate the ‘Personalised advertising’ function in the settings of your Google account. To do this, follow the instructions on this page: support.google.com/ads/answer/2662922 You can find more information about Google Signals at the following link: support.google.com/analytics/answer/7532985

3.9 Data protection provisions about the application and use of Microsoft Clarity

We work with Microsoft Clarity and Microsoft Advertising to track how you use and interact with our website using behavioural metrics, heatmaps and session replay to improve and market our products and services. Website usage data is collected using first and third party cookies and other tracking technologies to determine the popularity of products/services and online activity. We also use this information to optimise the website, for fraud/security purposes and for advertising. For more information on how Microsoft collects and uses your data, please refer to the Microsoft Privacy Policy.

4. Order processing

If we use external service providers to process your data, we will carefully select and commission them. If the services provided by there service providers are order processing within the meaning of Art. 28 GDPR, the service providers are bound by our instructions and are regularly monitored. Our processing contracts comply with the strict requirements of Art. 28 GDPR and the requirements of the German data protection authorities.

5. Rights of data subjects

If your personal data is processed, you are a data subject within the meaning of the GDPR and as a user you have the following rights vis-à-vis the controller:

5.1 Right to information

You can request confirmation from the controller as to whether personal data concerning you is being processed by us.

If such processing has taken place, you can request the following information from the controller:
