These measures include in particular the safeguarding of the confidentiality, integrity and availability of data by controlling the physical access to the data as well as the access, entry, disclosure, safeguarding of availability and its separation. Furthermore, we have established procedures to ensure that the rights of the persons concerned are exercised, that data is deleted and that we react to any threats to the data. Furthermore, we take the protection of personal data into account as early as the development or selection of hardware, software and procedures, in accordance with the principle of data protection by designing technology and using data protection-friendly default settings (Art. 25 DSGVO).

Cooperation with contract processors and third parties

If, in the course of our processing, we disclose data to other persons and companies (contract processors or third parties), transfer it to them or otherwise grant them access to the data, this is only done on the basis of a legal authorisation (e.g. if the data must be transferred to third parties, such as payment service providers, in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 letter b DSGVO to fulfil the contract), if you have given your consent, if a legal obligation provides for this or on the basis of our legitimate interests (e.g. when using agents, web hosters, etc.).

If we commission third parties to process data on the basis of a so-called "contract processing agreement", this is done on the basis of Art. 28 DSGVO.

Subject to legal or contractual permissions, we will only process the data in a third country or have it processed in a third country if the special requirements of Art. 44 ff. DPA are met, i.e. the processing is carried out, for example, on the basis of special guarantees, such as the officially recognised determination of a level of data protection corresponding to that of the EU (e.g. for the USA through the "Privacy Shield") or compliance with officially recognised special contractual obligations (so-called "standard contractual clauses").

Recall of emojies and smilies

Within our WordPress blog, we use graphical emojis (or smilies), which are small graphic files that express feelings, obtained from external servers. In this process, the providers of the servers collect the IP addresses of users, which is necessary to transmit the emojie files to the users' browsers. The emojie service is provided by Automattic Inc. 60 29th Street #343, San Francisco, CA 94110, USA. Automattic's Privacy Policy: https://automattic.com/privacy/The server domains used are s.w.org and twemoji.maxcdn.com, whereby to our knowledge these are so-called Content Delivery Networks, i.e. servers that merely serve to transmit files quickly and securely and the users' personal data is deleted after transmission.

The use of emojis is based on our legitimate interests, i.e. interest in an attractive design of our online offer according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f. DSGVO.

The newsletters are sent via the mailing service provider "MailChimp", a newsletter mailing platform of the U.S. provider Rocket Science Group, LLC, 675 Ponce De Leon Ave NE #5000, Atlanta, GA 30308, U.S.A. You can view the privacy policy of the mailing service provider here: https://mailchimp.com/legal/privacy/The Rocket Science Group LLC d/b/a MailChimp is certified under the Privacy-Shield Agreement and thus offers a guarantee to comply with the European level of data protection (https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt0000000TO6hAAG&status=ActiveThe shipping service provider is appointed on the basis of our legitimate interests in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f. DSGVO and an order processing contract in accordance with Art. 28 Para. 3 S. 1 DSGVO.

The dispatch service provider may use the data of the recipients in pseudonymous form, i.e. without allocation to a user, to optimise or improve its own services, e.g. for technical optimisation of the dispatch and presentation of the newsletters or for statistical purposes. However, the dispatch service provider does not use the data of our newsletter recipients to write to them itself or to pass the data on to third parties.

Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics, a web analysis service of Google LLC ("Google"), based on our legitimate interests (i.e. interest in the analysis, optimisation and economic operation of our online offer in the sense of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f. DSGVO). Google uses cookies. The information generated by the cookie about the use of the online offer by the users is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there.

Google is certified under the Privacy Shield Agreement and thus offers a guarantee to comply with European data protection law (https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt000000001L5AAI&status=Active).

Google will use this information on our behalf to evaluate the use of our online offer by the users, to compile reports on the activities within this online offer and to provide us with further services connected with the use of this online offer and the use of the Internet. In doing so, pseudonymous user profiles of the users can be created from the processed data.

We only use Google Analytics with activated IP anonymisation, which means that the IP address of the user is shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or in other states that are party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transferred to a Google server in the USA and shortened there.

The IP address transmitted by the user's browser will not be merged with other Google data. users can prevent the storage of cookies by adjusting their browser software accordingly; users can also prevent the collection of data generated by the cookie and related to their use of the online offer to Google and the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available under the following link: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de.

Further information on data use by Google, setting and objection possibilities, you will find in the privacy policy of Google (https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads) as well as in the settings for the display of advertising by Google (https://adssettings.google.com/authenticated).

The personal data of users will be deleted or anonymized after 14 months.

online presence in social networks

We maintain online presences within social networks and platforms in order to be able to communicate with the customers, interested parties and users active there and to inform them about our services.

We would like to point out that user data may be processed outside of the European Union, which may result in risks for users, e.g. because it could make it more difficult to enforce users' rights. With regard to US providers certified under the Privacy Shield, we would like to point out that they are thereby committed to complying with the EU data protection standards.

Furthermore, user data is usually processed for market research and advertising purposes. For example, user profiles can be created from the user behaviour and the resulting interests of the users. The user profiles can in turn be used, for example, to place advertisements inside and outside the platforms that presumably correspond to the interests of the users. For these purposes, cookies are usually stored on the users' computers, in which the user behaviour 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).

The processing of users' personal data is based on our legitimate interests in effective information of users and communication with users in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f. DSGVO. If users are asked by the respective providers to give their consent to data processing (i.e. to give their consent, e.g. by ticking a check box or confirming a button), the legal basis for processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a., Art. 7 DSGVO.

For a detailed presentation of the respective processing and the possibilities of objection (opt-out), we refer to the following linked information of the providers.

Also in the case of requests for information and the assertion of user rights, we would like to point out that these can be asserted most effectively with the providers. Only the providers have access to the data of the users in each case and can directly take appropriate measures and provide information. If you still need help, you can contact us.

Within our online offer, we use content or service offers from third parties on the basis of our legitimate interests (i.e. interest in the analysis, optimisation and economic operation of our online offer within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f. DSGVO) in order to integrate their content and services, such as videos or fonts (hereinafter uniformly referred to as "content").

this always assumes that the third party providers of this content are aware of the IP address of the user, as without the IP address they would not be able to send the content to their browser. the IP address is therefore required to display this content. we endeavour to use only content whose providers use the IP address only to deliver the content. third party providers can also use so-called pixel tags (invisible graphics, also known as "web beacons") for statistical or marketing purposes. the "pixel tags" can be used to evaluate information such as visitor traffic on the pages of this website. the pseudonymous information can also be stored in cookies on the user's device and contain, among other things, technical information on the browser and operating system, referring web pages, visiting time and other information on the use of our online offering, as well as being combined with such information from other sources.

if a user calls up a function of this online offer that contains such a plugin, his or her device establishes a direct connection with the servers of facebook. the content of the plugin is transmitted by facebook directly to the user's device and integrated into the online offer by the user. user profiles of the users can be created from the processed data. we therefore have no influence on the scope of the data that facebook collects with the help of this plugin and therefore inform the users according to our state of knowledge.

through the integration of the plugins, facebook receives the information that a user has called up the corresponding page of the online offer. if the user is logged in to facebook, facebook can assign the visit to his facebook account. if users interact with the plugins, for example by pressing the like button or making a comment, the corresponding information is transmitted directly from your device to facebook and stored there. if a user is not a member of facebook, there is still the possibility that facebook will find out and store his IP address. according to facebook, only an anonymised IP address is stored 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 relevant rights and setting options for protecting the privacy of users, can be found in the Facebook data protection information: https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/.
