Relevant legal bases

In the following, we share the legal basis of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), on the basis of which we process personal data. Please note that in addition to the provisions of the GDPR, the national data protection requirements in your or our country of residence and domicile may apply. If more specific legal bases are also relevant in individual cases, we will inform you of this in the data protection declaration.

• Consent (Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. a GDPR) - The data subject has given their consent to the processing of their personal data for a specific purpose or several specific purposes.
• Fulfillment of the contract and pre-contractual inquiries (Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. GDPR) - The processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party or for the implementation of pre-contractual measures at the request of the data subject respectively.
• Protection of vital interests (Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. GDPR) - Processing is necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person.
• Legitimate interests (.. 1 Article 6 S. 1 lit. f DSGVO.) - The processing is necessary to protect the legitimate interests of the controller or a third party, not as long as the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject, the personal protection Data require, outweigh.

National data protection regulations in Germany: In addition to the data protection regulations of the General Data Protection Regulation, national regulations on data protection in Germany apply. This includes in particular the law on protection against misuse of personal data in data processing (Federal Data Protection Act - BDSG). The BDSG contains in particular special regulations on the right to information, the right to deletion, the right to object, the processing of special categories of personal data, the processing for other purposes and the transmission as well as automated decision-making in individual cases including profiling. Furthermore, it regulates data processing for the purposes of the employment relationship (Section 26 BDSG), in particular with regard to the establishment, implementation or termination of employment relationships and the consent of employees.

Safety measures

We take appropriate technical and organizational measures in accordance with the legal requirements, taking into account the state of the art, the implementation costs and the type, scope, circumstances and purposes of the processing, as well as the different probability of occurrence and the extent of the threat to the rights and freedoms of natural persons to ensure a level of protection appropriate to the risk.

The measures include, in particular, ensuring the confidentiality, integrity and availability of data by controlling the physical and electronic access to the data as well as the access, input, transfer, safeguarding of availability and their separation. Furthermore, we have set up procedures that guarantee the exercise of data subject rights, the deletion of data and reactions to the risk to the data. We also take the protection of personal data into account when developing or selecting hardware, software and processes in accordance with the principle of data protection, through technology design and through data protection-friendly default settings.

Transmission and disclosure of personal data

As part of our processing of personal data, it may happen that the data is transmitted to other bodies, companies, legally independent organizational units or persons, or that it is disclosed to them. The recipients of this data can include, for example, payment institutions in the context of payment transactions, service providers commissioned with IT tasks or providers of services and content that are integrated into a website. In such a case, we observe the legal requirements and in particular conclude corresponding contracts or agreements that serve to protect your data with the recipients of your data.

Data processing in third countries

If we process data in a third country (i.e. outside the European Union (EU), the European Economic Area (EEA)) or the processing as part of the use of third-party services or the disclosure or transmission of data to other people, bodies or companies takes place, this takes place only in accordance with the legal requirements.

Subject to express consent or contractually or legally required transmission, we process or let the data only in third countries with a recognized data protection level, to which the US processors certified under the "Privacy Shield" belong, or on the basis of special guarantees, such as contractual obligations Process so-called standard protection clauses of the EU Commission, the existence of certifications or binding internal data protection regulations (Art. 44 to 49 GDPR, information page of the EU Commission: https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/law-topic/data -protection / international-dimension-data-protection_de ).

Use of cookies

Cookies are text files that contain data from visited websites or domains and are saved by a browser on the user's computer. The primary purpose of a cookie is to store information about a user during or after their visit within an online offer. The stored information can include, for example, the language settings on a website, the login status, a shopping cart or the place where a video was viewed. The term cookies also includes other technologies that perform the same functions as cookies (for example, if user information is saved using pseudonymous online identifiers, also known as "user IDs")

A distinction is made between the following types of cookies and functions:

• Temporary cookies (also: session or session cookies):  Temporary cookies are deleted at the latest after a user leaves an online offer and closes his browser.
• Permanent cookies:  Permanent cookies remain saved even after the browser is closed. For example, the login status can be saved or preferred content can be displayed directly when the user visits a website again. The interests of users who are used for range measurement or for marketing purposes can also be saved in such a cookie.
• First-party cookies:  First-party cookies are set by us.
• Third-party cookies (also: third-party cookies) : Third-party cookies are mainly used by advertisers (so-called third parties) to process user information.
• Necessary (also: essential or absolutely necessary) cookies: On the one hand, cookies may be absolutely necessary for the operation of a website (e.g. to save logins or other user input or for security reasons).
• Statistics, marketing and personalization cookies : In addition, cookies are generally also used in the scope of range measurement and when the interests of a user or his behavior (e.g. viewing certain content, use of functions etc.) on individual websites in a user profile get saved. Such profiles serve to show users, for example, content that corresponds to their potential interests. This process is also referred to as "tracking", ie tracking the potential interests of users. . Insofar as we use cookies or "tracking" technologies, we will inform you separately in our data protection declaration or as part of obtaining consent.

Notes on legal bases: The legal basis on which we process your personal data with the help of cookies depends on whether we ask you for your consent. If this is the case and you consent to the use of cookies, the legal basis for the processing of your data is the declared consent. Otherwise, the data processed using cookies will be processed on the basis of our legitimate interests (e.g. in a business operation of our online offering and its improvement) or if the use of cookies is necessary to fulfill our contractual obligations.

General information on revocation and objection (opt-out): Depending on whether the processing is based on consent or legal permission, you have the option at any time to revoke your consent or to object to the processing of your data using cookie technologies ( collectively referred to as "opt-out"). You can first declare your objection using the settings in your browser, e.g. by deactivating the use of cookies (which may also limit the functionality of our online offering). You can also object to the use of cookies for online marketing purposes using a variety of services, especially in the case of tracking, via the https://optout.aboutads.info websiteand https://www.youronlinechoices.com/ . In addition, you can receive further contradiction notices in the context of the information on the service providers and cookies used.

Processing of cookie data based on consent : Before we process or have data processed as part of the use of cookies, we ask users for consent that can be revoked at any time. Before consent has not been given, cookies are used that are necessary for the operation of our online offer. Their use is based on our interest and the interest of the users in the expected functionality of our online offer.

• Processed data types: usage data (e.g. visited websites, interest in content, access times), meta / communication data (e.g. device information, IP addresses).
• Affected persons: users (e.g. website visitors, users of online services).
• Legal basis: consent (Art. 6 Para. 1 Clause 1 a) GDPR), legitimate interests (Art. 6 Para. 1 Clause 1 lit. GDPR).

Provision of the online offer and web hosting

In order to be able to provide our online offer securely and efficiently, we use the services of one or more web hosting providers, from whose servers (or servers managed by them) the online offer can be accessed. For these purposes, we can use infrastructure and platform services, computing capacity, storage space and database services as well as security and technical maintenance services.

The data processed in the context of the provision of the hosting offer can include all information relating to the users of our online offer that is incurred in the context of use and communication. This regularly includes the IP address that is necessary to be able to deliver the content of online offers to browsers and all entries made within our online offer or on websites.

For the rest, we refer to the information on the processing of visitors to our publication medium in the context of this data protection notice.

Comments and contributions : If users leave comments or other contributions, their IP addresses can be saved based on our legitimate interests. This is done for our security, if someone leaves illegal content in comments and contributions (insults, prohibited political propaganda etc.). In this case, we can be sued for the comment or contribution and are therefore interested in the identity of the author.

We also reserve the right to process user information for spam detection based on our legitimate interests.

On the same legal basis, we reserve the right to store users' IP addresses for the duration of surveys and to use cookies in order to avoid multiple votes.

Newsletter and broad communication

We only send newsletters, e-mails and other electronic notifications (hereinafter referred to as "newsletters") with the consent of the recipients or with a legal permission. Our newsletters also contain information about our services and us.

To subscribe to our newsletters, it is generally sufficient to provide your email address. However, we can ask you to enter a name for the purpose of addressing yourself personally in the newsletter, or other information if this is necessary for the purposes of the newsletter.

Double opt-in procedure: The registration for our newsletter is generally carried out in a so-called double opt-in procedure. This means that after registration you will receive an email asking you to confirm your registration. This confirmation is necessary so that no one can register with someone else's email address. The registrations for the newsletter are logged in order to be able to demonstrate the registration process in accordance with the legal requirements. This includes storing the time of registration and confirmation as well as the IP address. Changes to your data stored with the shipping service provider are also logged.

Deletion and restriction of processing: We can save the e-mail addresses that have been removed for up to three years on the basis of our legitimate interests before we delete them in order to be able to prove a previously given consent. The processing of this data is limited to the purpose of a possible defense against claims. An individual request for deletion is possible at any time, provided that the previous existence of consent is confirmed. In the case of obligations to permanently observe contradictions, we reserve the right to save the email address for this purpose in a blacklist.

The logging of the registration process takes place on the basis of our legitimate interests for the purpose of demonstrating its proper course. Insofar as we commission a service provider to send emails, this is based on our legitimate interests in an efficient and secure shipping system.

Notes on legal bases: The newsletter is sent based on the consent of the recipient or, if consent is not required, on the basis of our legitimate interests in direct marketing, insofar as and insofar as this is permitted by law, e.g. in the case of existing customer advertising. Insofar as we commission a service provider to send emails, this is done on the basis of our legitimate interests. The registration process is recorded based on our legitimate interests to demonstrate that it was conducted in accordance with the law.

Contents : Information about us, our services, promotions and offers.

Analysis and measurement of success : The newsletters contain a so-called "web beacon", that is, a pixel-sized file that is retrieved from our server when the newsletter is opened or, if we use a shipping service provider, from its server First, technical information, such as information about the browser and your system, as well as your IP address and the time of access, is collected.

This information is used to technically improve our newsletter based on the technical data or the target groups and their reading behavior based on their access locations (which can be determined using the IP address) or 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 the individual newsletter recipients. However, it is neither our aim nor, if used, that of the shipping service provider to observe individual users. Rather, the evaluations serve us to recognize 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 purpose of using a user-friendly and secure newsletter system, which serves both our business interests and the expectations of the users.

A separate revocation of the success measurement is unfortunately not possible, in this case the entire newsletter subscription must be canceled or contradicted.

• Processed data types: inventory data (e.g. names, addresses), contact details (e.g. email, telephone numbers), meta / communication data (e.g. device information, IP addresses), usage data (e.g. visited websites, interest in content, access times).
• Affected persons: communication partner.
• Purposes of processing: direct marketing (e.g. by email or post).
• Legal basis: consent (Art. 6 Para. 1 Clause 1 a) GDPR), legitimate interests (Art. 6 Para. 1 Clause 1 lit. GDPR).
• Opposition option (opt-out): You can cancel the receipt of our newsletter at any time, ie revoke your consent or object to further receipt. You will find a link to unsubscribe from the newsletter either at the end of each newsletter or you can use one of the contact options given above, preferably by e-mail.

Deletion of data

The data processed by us will be deleted in accordance with the legal requirements as soon as their consent for processing is revoked or other permits no longer apply (e.g. if the purpose of processing this data has ceased to apply or if it is not necessary for the purpose).

If the data is not deleted because it is required for other and legally permissible purposes, its processing is restricted to these purposes. This means that the data is blocked and not processed for other purposes. This applies, for example, to data that must be kept for commercial or tax law reasons or whose storage is necessary to assert, exercise or defend legal claims or to protect the rights of another natural or legal person.

Further information on the deletion of personal data can also be provided in the context of the individual data protection information in this data protection declaration.
