Google Maps privacy policy

We use Google Maps from Google Inc. on our website. For Europe, Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street Dublin 4, Ireland) is responsible for all Google services. With Google Maps we can show you locations better and thus adapt our service to your needs. By using Google Maps, data is transmitted to Google and stored on Google servers. Here we want to go into more detail about what Google Maps is, why we use this Google service, what data is stored and how you can prevent this.

What is Google Maps??

Google Maps is an Internet mapping service from Google. Google Maps lets you find exact locations of cities, attractions, accommodations or businesses online using a PC, tablet or app. If companies are represented on Google My Business, other information about the company is displayed in addition to the location. In order to show how to get there, map sections of a location can be integrated into a website using HTML code. Google Maps shows the earth's surface as a road map or as an aerial or satellite image. Thanks to the Street View images and the high-quality satellite images, very precise representations are possible.

Why do we use Google Maps on our website?

All our efforts on this site aim to offer you a useful and meaningful time on our website. By integrating Google Maps, we can provide you with the most important information about various locations. You can see at a glance where our headquarters are. The directions always show you the best or fastest way to get to us. You can get directions for routes by car, public transport, walking or cycling. For us, providing Google Maps is part of our customer service.

What data is stored by Google Maps?

In order for Google Maps to fully offer its service, the company must record and store data from you. This includes, among other things, the search terms entered, your IP address and also the latitude and longitude coordinates. If you use the route planner function, the start address entered is also saved. However, this data storage happens on the Google Maps websites. We can only inform you about this, but have no influence. Since we have integrated Google Maps into our website, Google sets at least one cookie (name: NID) in your browser. This cookie stores data about your user behavior. Google primarily uses this data to optimize its services and to provide you with individual, personalized advertising.

The following cookie is set in your browser due to the integration of Google Maps:

Surname: NID
Value: 188=h26c1Ktha7fCQTx8rXgLyATyITJ111405871-5
Purpose of use: NID is used by Google to tailor advertisements to your Google searches. With the help of the cookie, Google remembers your most frequently entered search queries or your previous interaction with ads. This means you always get tailor-made advertisements. The cookie contains a unique ID that Google uses to collect your personal preferences for advertising purposes.n.
Expiry Date: after 6 months

Annotation: We cannot guarantee the completeness of the stored data. Changes can never be ruled out, especially when using cookies. In order to identify the cookie NID, a separate test page was created where only Google Maps was integrated.

How long and where is the data stored?

Google servers are located in data centers around the world. However, most of the servers are located in America. For this reason, your data is increasingly stored in the USA. Here you can read exactly where the Google data centers are located: https://www.google.com/about/datacenters/inside/locations/hl=dee

Google distributes the data on various storage media. This means that the data can be accessed more quickly and is better protected against any attempts at manipulation. Each data center also has specific emergency programs. For example, if there are problems with Google's hardware or a natural disaster shuts down the servers, the data will almost certainly remain protected.

Google stores some data for a set period of time. For other data, Google only offers the option of deleting it manually. The company also anonymizes information (such as advertising data) in server logs by deleting part of the IP address and cookie information after 9 or 18 months.

How can I delete my data or prevent data storage?

With the automatic deletion of location and activity data introduced in 2019, location and web/app activity information is stored for either 3 or 18 months, depending on your choice, and then deleted. You can also manually delete this data from your history at any time using your Google account. If you want to completely prevent your location tracking, you must pause the Web and app activity section in your Google Account. Click Data and Personalization and then click the Activity Setting option. Here you can turn the activities on or off.chalten.

You can also deactivate, delete or manage individual cookies in your browser. Depending on which browser you use, this always works a little differently. The following instructions show how to manage cookies in your browser:

Firefox: Delete cookies to remove data that websites have placed on your computer

Chrome: Delete, enable and manage cookies in Chrome

Google is an active participant in the EU-US Privacy Shield Framework, which regulates the correct and secure transfer of personal data. You can find more information about this at https://www.privacyshield.gov/participantid=a2zt000000001L5AAII. If you would like to find out more about Google's data processing, we recommend that you read the company's own privacy policy at https://policies.google.com/privacyhl=dee.

Google Fonts privacy policy

We use Google Fonts on our website. These are the Google fonts from Google Inc. For Europe, Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street Dublin 4, Ireland) is responsible for all Google services.h.

You do not need to register or provide a password to use Google fonts. Furthermore, no cookies are stored in your browser. The files (CSS, fonts/fonts) are requested via the Google domains fonts.googleapis.com and fonts.gstatic.com. According to Google, requests for CSS and fonts are completely separate from all other Google services. If you have a Google Account, you do not need to worry that your Google Account information will be transmitted to Google while using Google Fonts. Google records the use of CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) and the fonts used and stores this data securely. We will take a closer look at what data storage looks like.

What are Google Fonts??

Google Fonts (formerly Google Web Fonts) is a directory with over 800 fonts that Google Make it available to your users free of charge.

Many of these fonts are released under the SIL Open Font License, while others are released under the Apache License. Both are free software licenses.

Why do we use Google Fonts on our website?

With Google Fonts we can use fonts on our own website and do not have to upload them to our own server. Google Fonts is an important component in keeping the quality of our website high. All Google fonts are automatically optimized for the web and this saves data volume and is a big advantage, especially for use on mobile devices. When you visit our site, the low file size ensures a fast loading time. Furthermore, Google Fonts are secure web fonts. Different image synthesis systems (rendering) in different browsers, operating systems and mobile devices can lead to errors. Such errors can visually distort some texts or entire websites. Thanks to the fast Content Delivery Network (CDN), there are no cross-platform issues with Google Fonts. Google Fonts supports all major browsers (Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Opera) and works reliably on most modern mobile operating systems, including Android 2.2+ and iOS 4.2+ (iPhone, iPad, iPod). We use Google Fonts so that we can display our entire online service as beautifully and consistently as possible.

What data does Google store??

When you visit our website, the fonts are downloaded via a Google server. Through this external call, data is transmitted to the Google servers. This is how Google also recognizes that you or your IP address visits our website. The Google Fonts API is designed to reduce the use, storage, and collection of end-user data to what is necessary for proper font delivery. By the way, API stands for Application Programming Interface and serves, among other things, as a data transmitter in the software sector.h.

Google Fonts stores CSS and font requests securely on Google and is therefore protected. By collecting usage figures, Google can determine how well the individual fonts are received. Google publishes the results on internal analysis sites, such as Google Analytics. Google also uses data from its own web crawler to determine which websites use Google fonts. This data is published in the Google Fonts BigQuery database. Entrepreneurs and developers use the Google web service BigQuery to examine and move large amounts of data.

However, it should also be remembered that with every Google Font request, information such as language settings, IP address, browser version, browser screen resolution and browser name are automatically transmitted to the Google servers. Whether this data is also stored cannot be clearly determined or is not clearly communicated by Google.

How long and where is the data stored?

Google stores requests for CSS assets for one day on its servers, which are mainly located outside the EU. This allows us to use the fonts using a Google stylesheet. A style sheet is a format template that you can use to quickly and easily change the design or font of a website, for example.

The font files are stored by Google for one year. Google's goal is to fundamentally improve the loading time of websites. When millions of websites reference the same fonts, they are cached after the first visit and immediately appear on all other websites visited later. Sometimes Google updates font files to reduce file size, increase language coverage, and improve design.

How can I delete my data or prevent data storage?

The data that Google stores for a day or a year cannot simply be deleted. The data is automatically transmitted to Google when the page is accessed. In order to delete this data early, you must contact Google Support https://support.google.com/hl=de&tid=1114058711 to contact. In this case, you can only prevent data storage if you do not visit our site.

Unlike other web fonts, Google allows us unlimited access to all fonts. So we have unlimited access to a sea of fonts and get the best for our website. You can find out more about Google Fonts and other questions at https://developers.google.com/fonts/faqtid=1114058711. Although Google addresses data protection-related matters there, it does not contain any really detailed information about data storage. It is relatively difficult to get really precise information about stored data from Google.

You can also see which data is generally collected by Google and what this data is used for https://www.google.com/intl/de/policies/privacy/ read up.

Google Fonts Local Privacy Policy

On our website we use Google Fonts from Google Inc. The company Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street Dublin 4, Ireland) is responsible for Europe. We have integrated the Google fonts locally, i.e. on our web server, not on Google's servers. This means there is no connection to Google servers and therefore no data transfer or storage.g.

What are Google Fonts??

Google Fonts used to be called Google Web Fonts. This is an interactive directory with over 800 fonts Google provided free of charge. With Google Fonts you could use fonts without uploading them to your own server. However, in order to prevent any information transfer to Google servers, we have downloaded the fonts to our server. In this way, we act in accordance with data protection regulations and do not send any data to Google Fonts.

OpenStreetMap privacy policy

We have included map sections from the online map tool OpenStreetMap on our website. This is a so-called open source mapping, which we can access via an API (interface). This function is offered by OpenStreetMap Foundation, St John's Innovation Centre, Cowley Road, Cambridge, CB4 0WS, United Kingdom. By using this map function, your IP address will be forwarded to OpenStreetMap. In this data protection declaration you will find out why we use functions of the OpenStreetMap tool, where which data is stored and how you can prevent this data storage.n.

What is OpenStreetMap?

The OpenStreetMap project was launched in 2004. The aim of the project is and was to create a free world map. Users around the world collect data about buildings, forests, rivers and roads.

Google Analytics privacy policy

On our website we use the analysis tracking tool Google Analytics (GA) from the American company Google Inc. For Europe, the company Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street Dublin 4, Ireland) is responsible for all Google services. Google Analytics collects data about your actions on our website. For example, if you click on a link, this action will be saved in a cookie and sent to Google Analytics. The reports we receive from Google Analytics allow us to better tailor our website and service to your needs. Below we will go into more detail about the tracking tool and, above all, inform you about what data is stored and how you can prevent this.

What is Google Analytics?

Google Analytics is a tracking tool that is used to analyze traffic on our website. In order for Google Analytics to work, a tracking code is built into the code of our website. When you visit our website, this code records various actions that you take on our website. As soon as you leave our website, this data is sent to the Google Analytics servers and stored there.

Here we show you an overview of the most important data collected with Google Analytics:

Heatmaps: Google creates so-called heatmaps. Heatmaps show exactly the areas you click on. This is how we get information about where you are on our site.d.

Session duration: Google refers to the time that you spend on our site without leaving the site as session duration. If you have been inactive for 20 minutes, the session ends automatically.

Bounce rate Bounce rate is when you only view one page on our website and then leave our website again.

Account creation: If you create an account or place an order on our website, Google Analytics collects this data.

IP address: The IP address is only shown in abbreviated form so that a clear assignment is not possible.

Location: The country and your approximate location can be determined via the IP address. This process is also known as IP location determination.

Technical information: Technical information includes, but is not limited to, your browser type, your Internet provider or your screen resolution.

Source of origin: Of course, Google Analytics and we are also interested in which website or advertising you came to our site from.

Other data includes contact details, any reviews, playing media (e.g. when you play a video via our site), sharing content via social media or adding it to your favorites. The list does not claim to be complete and only serves as a general guide to data storage by Google Analytics.

How long and where is the data stored?

Google has its servers spread all over the world. Most servers are located in America and therefore your data is mostly stored on American servers. Here you can read exactly where the Google data centers are located: https://www.google.com/about/datacenters/inside/locations/hl=dee

Your data is distributed on different physical storage media. This has the advantage that the data can be accessed more quickly and is better protected against manipulation. Every Google data center has appropriate emergency programs for your data. For example, if Google's hardware fails or natural disasters paralyze servers, the risk of service disruption at Google remains low.

Google Analytics has a standardized retention period of 26 months for your user data. Your user data will then be deleted. However, we have the option to choose the retention period of user data ourselves. We have five variants available to us:

Deletion after 14 months
Deletion after 26 months
Deletion after 38 months
Deletion after 50 months
No automatic deletion

Once the specified period has expired, the data will be deleted once a month. This retention period applies to your data linked to cookies, user recognition and advertising IDs (e.g. cookies from the DoubleClick domain). Report results are based on aggregated data and are stored independently of user data. Aggregated data is a fusion of individual data into a larger unit.

How can I delete my data or prevent data storage?

Under European Union data protection law, you have the right to access, update, delete or restrict your data. Use the Google Analytics JavaScript Opt-out Browser Add-on (ga.js, analytics.js, dc.js) to prevent Google Analytics from using your data. You can download the browser add-on at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptouthl=dee download and install. Please note that this add-on only deactivates data collection by Google Analytics.

If you generally want to deactivate, delete or manage cookies (independently of Google Analytics), there are separate instructions for each browser:

Firefox: Delete cookies to remove data that websites have placed on your computer

Deactivate Google Analytics

Google Analytics is an active participant in the EU-US Privacy Shield Framework, which regulates the correct and secure transfer of personal data. You can find more information about this at https://www.privacyshield.gov/participantid=a2zt000000001L5AAI&tid=1114058711. We hope we were able to provide you with the most important information about data processing by Google Analytics. If you want to find out more about the tracking service, we recommend these two links: http://www.google.com/analytics/terms/de.html and https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245hl=dee.

Google Analytics IP anonymization

We have implemented IP address anonymization from Google Analytics on this website. This function was developed by Google so that this website can comply with the applicable data protection regulations and recommendations of the local data protection authorities if they prohibit the storage of the full IP address. The anonymization or masking of the IP takes place as soon as the IP addresses arrive in the Google Analytics data collection network and before the data is stored or processed.

You can find more information about IP anonymization at https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/2763052hl=dee.

Google Analytics reports on demographics and interests

We have activated the advertising reporting functions in Google Analytics. Demographics and interests reports include information about age, gender, and interests. This allows us to get a better picture of our users without being able to assign this data to individual people. You can find out more about the advertising functionsie on https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/3450482hl=de_AT&utm_id=add.

You can control the use of your Google Account activities and information under Advertising Settingsuf https://adssettings.google.com/authenticated end with checkbox.

Google Analytics deactivation link

If you click on the following Deactivation link If you click, you can prevent Google from recording further visits to this website. Attention: Deleting cookies, using the incognito/private mode of your browser, or using a different browser will result in data being collected again.

Google Analytics addition to data processing

We have entered into a direct customer agreement with Google for the use of Google Analytics by accepting the data processing addendum in Google Analytics.n.

You can find out more about the addition to data processing for Google Analytics here: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/3379636hl=de&utm_id=add

Google Analytics Google Signals Privacy Policy

We have activated Google signals in Google Analytics. This will update existing Google Analytics features (advertising reporting, remarketing, cross-device reporting, and interest and demographic reporting) to receive aggregated and anonymized data from you if you have allowed personalized ads in your Google Account.

The special thing about it is that it involves cross-device tracking. This means your data can be analyzed across devices. By activating Google signals, data is collected and linked to the Google account. For example, Google can recognize if you view a product on our website using a smartphone and then later purchase the product using a laptop. Thanks to the activation of Google Signals, we can launch cross-device remarketing campaigns that would otherwise not be possible in this form. Remarketing means that we can also show you our offerings on other websites.

Google Analytics also collects other visitor data such as location, search history, YouTube history and data about your actions on our website through Google signals. This gives us better advertising reports and more useful information about your interests and demographics from Google. This includes your age, what language you speak, where you live or what gender you are. There are also social criteria such as your job, marital status or income. All of these features help Google Analytics define groups of people or target groups.

The reports also help us to better assess your behavior, wishes and interests. This allows us to optimize and adapt our services and products for you. By default, this data expires after 26 months. Please note that this data collection only occurs if you have allowed personalized advertising in your Google account. This is always aggregated and anonymous data and never individual data. You can manage or delete this data in your Google account.

Facebook Pixel Privacy Policy

We use the Facebook pixel from Facebook on our website. We have implemented code for this on our website. The Facebook pixel is a snippet of JavaScript code that loads a collection of functions that allow Facebook to track your user actions if you came to our website via Facebook Ads. For example, if you purchase a product on our website, the Facebook pixel is triggered and stores your actions on our website in one or more cookies. These cookies enable Facebook to compare your user data (customer data such as IP address, user ID) with the data from your Facebook account. Then Facebook deletes this data again. The data collected is anonymous and cannot be viewed by us and can only be used to place advertisements. If you are a Facebook user and are logged in, your visit to our website will automatically be assigned to your Facebook user account.

We only want to show our services and products to those people who are really interested in them. With the help of Facebook pixels, our advertising measures can be better tailored to your wishes and interests.

This activation allows us to tailor advertising campaigns on Facebook even more precisely to people who are interested in our services or products.

Google Tag Manager privacy policy

For our website we use the Google Tag Manager from Google Inc. For the European region, Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street Dublin 4, Ireland) is responsible for all Google services. This Tag Manager is one of Google's many helpful marketing products. Using Google Tag Manager, we can centrally install and manage code sections from various tracking tools that we use on our website.

In this data protection declaration we would like to explain to you in more detail what Google Tag Manager does, why we use it and in what form data is processed.

What is Google Tag Manager?

Google Tag Manager is an organizational tool that allows us to integrate and manage website tags centrally and via a user interface. Tags are small sections of code that, for example, record (track) your activities on our website. For this purpose, JavaScript code sections are inserted into the source code of our site. The tags often come from Google's internal products such as Google Ads or Google Analytics, but tags from other companies can also be integrated and managed via the manager. Such tags perform different tasks. You can collect browser data, feed marketing tools with data, embed buttons, set cookies and also track users across multiple websites.

Why do we use Google Tag Manager for our website?

As the saying goes: organization is half the battle! And of course this also applies to the maintenance of our website. In order to make our website as good as possible for you and everyone who is interested in our products and services, we need various tracking tools such as Google Analytics. The data collected by these tools shows us what interests you most, where we can improve our services and which people we should show our offers to. And in order for this tracking to work, we have to integrate appropriate JavaScript code into our website. In principle, we could incorporate each code section of the individual tracking tools separately into our source code. However, this takes a relatively long time and it is easy to lose track. That's why we use Google Tag Manager. We can easily install the necessary scripts and manage them from one place. In addition, the Google Tag Manager offers an easy-to-use user interface and no programming knowledge is required. This is how we manage to keep order in our daily jungle.

What data is stored by Google Tag Manager?

The Tag Manager itself is a domain that does not set cookies and does not store any data. It acts as a mere manager of the implemented tags. The data is recorded by the individual tags of the different web analysis tools. The data is essentially passed through to the individual tracking tools in Google Tag Manager and is not stored.t.

However, things look completely different with the integrated tags of the various web analysis tools, such as Google Analytics. Depending on the analysis tool, various data about your web behavior is usually collected, stored and processed with the help of cookies. Please read our data protection texts on the individual analysis and tracking tools that we use on our website.

In the Tag Manager account settings, we have allowed Google to receive anonymized data from us. However, this only concerns the use and use of our tag manager and not your data, which is stored via the code sections. We enable Google and others to receive selected data in anonymized form. We therefore agree to the anonymous transfer of our website data. Despite extensive research, we were unable to find out exactly which summarized and anonymous data is forwarded. In any case, Google deletes all information that could identify our website. Google combines the data with hundreds of other anonymous website data and creates user trends as part of benchmarking measures. Benchmarking involves comparing your own results with those of your competitors. Processes can be optimized based on the information collected.n.

How long and where is the data stored?

If Google stores data, this data is stored on Google's own servers. The servers are distributed all over the world. Most are in America. Under https://www.google.com/about/datacenters/inside/locations/hl=dee you can read exactly where the Google servers are located.

You can find out how long the individual tracking tools store your data in our individual data protection texts for the individual tools.

How can I delete my data or prevent data storage?

The Google Tag Manager itself does not set cookies, but rather manages tags from various tracking websites. In our data protection texts for the individual tracking tools, you will find detailed information on how you can delete or manage your data.

Google is an active participant in the EU-US Privacy Shield Framework, which regulates the correct and secure transfer of personal data. You can find more information about this at https://www.privacyshield.gov/participantid=a2zt000000001L5AAI&tid=1114058711. If you want to find out more about Google Tag Manager, we recommend the FAQs below https://www.google.com/intl/de/tagmanager/faq.html.

Google Site Kit Privacy Policy

We have integrated the WordPress plugin Google Site Kit from the American company Google Inc. into our website. For Europe, Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street Dublin 4, Ireland) is responsible for all Google services. With Google Site Kit we can quickly and easily view statistics that come from various Google products such as Google Analytics directly in our WordPress dashboard. The tool or the tools integrated into Google Site Kit also collect, among other things, personal data from you. In this data protection declaration we explain to you why we use Google Site Kit, how long and where data is stored and which other data protection texts are relevant to you in this context.

What is Google Site Kit?

Google Site Kit is a plugin for the WordPress content management system. With this plugin we can view important website analysis statistics directly in our dashboard. These are statistics collected by other Google products. Above all from Google Analytics. In addition to Google Analytics, the services Google Search Console, Page Speed Insight, Google AdSense, Google Optimize and Google Tag Manager can also be linked to Google Site Kit.

Why do we use Google Site Kit on our website?

As a service provider, it is our job to offer you the best possible experience on our website. We want you to feel comfortable on our website and find exactly what you are looking for quickly and easily. Statistical evaluations help us to get to know you better and to adapt our offering to your wishes and interests. We use various Google tools for these evaluations. Site Kit makes our work a lot easier in this regard because we can view and analyze the statistics of Google products right in the dashboard. So we no longer have to register separately for the respective tool. Site Kit therefore always offers a good overview of the most important analysis data.

What data is stored by Google Site Kit?

If you have actively agreed to tracking tools in the cookie notice (also called script or banner), Google products such as Google Analytics will set cookies and data from you, such as your user behavior, will be sent to Google, stored and processed there. Personal data such as your IP address is also stored.

For more detailed information about the individual services, we have separate text sections in this data protection declaration. For example, see our Google Analytics privacy policy. Here we go into the collected data in great detail. You will find out how long Google Analytics stores, manages and processes data, which cookies can be used and how you can prevent data storage. We also have our own data protection declarations with comprehensive information for other Google services such as Google Tag Manager or Google AdSense.

Below we will show you example Google Analytics cookies that can be set in your browser provided you have fundamentally agreed to data processing by Google. Please note that these cookies are just a selection:

On https://www.google.com/about/datacenters/inside/locations/hl=dee see exactly where the company provides servers.

Data collected by Google Analytics is stored for a standardized period of 26 months. Your user data will then be deleted. The retention period applies to all data linked to cookies, user recognition and advertising IDs.

Hotjar privacy policy

We use Hotjar from Hotjar Limited (Level 2, St Julian's Business Centre, 3, Elia Zammit Street, St Julian's STJ 1000, Malta) on our website to statistically evaluate visitor data. Hotjar is a service that analyzes the behavior and feedback of you as a user on our website using a combination of analysis and feedback tools. We receive reports and visual representations from Hotjar that show us where and how you move around our site. Personal data is automatically anonymized and never reaches Hotjar's servers. This means that you are not personally identified as a website user and we still learn a lot about your user behavior.n.

What is Hotjar??

As already mentioned in the section above, Hotjar helps us analyze the behavior of our site visitors. These tools that Hotjar offers include heatmaps, conversion funnels, visitor recording, incoming feedback, feedback polls and surveys (you can find out more about them at https://www.hotjar.com/). In this way, Hotjar helps us to offer you a better user experience and better service. On the one hand, it offers a good analysis of online behavior, and on the other hand, we also receive good feedback about the quality of our website. In addition to all the analytical aspects, we also simply want to know your opinion about our website. And with the feedback tool, that’s exactly what’s possible.

Why do we use Hotjar on our website?

In recent years, the importance of user experience on websites has increased significantly. And for good reason too. A website should be structured in such a way that you as a visitor feel comfortable and can easily find your way around. Thanks to Hotjar's analysis tools and feedback tool, we can make our website and our offering more attractive. The heatmaps from Hotjar are particularly valuable for us. Heatmaps are a form of representation for visualizing data. For example, Hotjar's heatmaps allow us to see exactly what you like to click, tap and where you scroll.

What data does Hotjar store??

As you surf our website, Hotjar automatically collects information about your user behavior. In order to be able to collect this information, we have installed our own tracking code on our website. The following data can be collected via your computer or browser:

Your computer's IP address (collected and stored in an anonymous format)
Screen size
Browser information (which browser, which version, etc.)
Your location (but only the country)
Your preferred language setting
Websites visited (subpages)
Date and time of access to one of our subpages (websites)

Cookies also store data that is placed on your computer (usually in your browser). No personal data is collected there. In principle, Hotjar does not pass on collected data to third parties. However, Hotjar expressly points out that it is sometimes necessary to share data with Amazon Web Services. Parts of your information will then be stored on their servers. However, Amazon is bound by a confidentiality obligation not to disclose this data.

Only a limited number of people (Hotjar employees) have access to the stored information. The Hotjar servers are protected by firewalls and IP restrictions (access only to approved IP addresses). Firewalls are security systems that protect computers from unwanted network access. They are intended to serve as a barrier between Hotjar's secure internal network and the Internet. Hotjar also uses third-party companies, such as Google Analytics or Optimizely, for their services. These companies may also store information that your browser sends to our website.

The following cookies are used by Hotjar. Since we rely, among other things, on the cookie list from Hotjar's privacy policy https://www.hotjar.com/legal/policies/cookie-information not every cookie has an exemplary value.

MailChimp privacy policy

Like many other websites, we use the services of the newsletter company MailChimp on our website. The operator of MailChimp is The Rocket Science Group, LLC, 675 Ponce de Leon Ave NE, Suite 5000, Atlanta, GA 30308 USA. Thanks to MailChimp, we can easily send you interesting news via newsletter. With MailChimp we don't have to install anything and can still draw from a pool of really useful functions. Below we will go into more detail about this email marketing service and inform you about the most important aspects relevant to data protection.

What is MailChimp?

MailChimp is a cloud-based newsletter management service. Cloud-based means that we don't have to install MailChimp on our own computer or server. Instead, we use the service via an IT infrastructure that is available over the Internet on an external server. This way of using software is also called SaaS (Software as a Service).nnt.

With MailChimp we can choose from a wide range of different email types. Depending on what we want to achieve with our newsletter, we can run individual campaigns, regular campaigns, autoresponders (automatic emails), A/B tests, RSS campaigns (sending at a predefined time and frequency) and follow-up campaigns .

Why do we use MailChimp on our website?

Basically, we use a newsletter service so that we can stay in touch with you. We want to tell you what's new with us or what attractive offers we currently have in our program. We always look for the simplest and best solutions for our marketing measures. And that's why we chose Mailchimp's newsletter management service. Although the software is very easy to use, it offers a large number of helpful features. This means we can create interesting and beautiful newsletters in just a short time. We use the design templates we offer to design each newsletter individually and thanks to the responsive design, our content is also displayed legibly and beautifully on your smartphone (or other mobile device).t.

Using tools such as the A/B test or the extensive analysis options, we can see very quickly how our newsletters are received by you. This allows us to respond if necessary and improve our offering or services.

Another advantage is Mailchimp’s cloud system. The data is not stored and processed directly on our server. We can retrieve the data from external servers and in this way save our storage space. In addition, the maintenance effort is significantly lower.r.

What data is stored by MailChimp?

Rocket Science Group LLC (MailChimp) maintains online platforms that allow us to contact you (if you have subscribed to our newsletter). If you become a subscriber to our newsletter via our website, you will confirm your membership in a MailChimp email list by email. So that MailChimp can prove that you have registered with the list provider, the date of registration and your IP address are stored. MailChimp also stores your email address, name, physical address and demographic information such as language or location.t.

This information is used to send you emails and to enable certain other MailChimp functions (such as evaluating newsletters).

MailChimp also shares information with third parties to provide better services. MailChimp also shares some data with third-party advertising partners to better understand its customers' interests and concerns so that it can provide more relevant content and targeted advertising.

Using so-called web beacons (small graphics in HTML emails), MailChimp can determine whether the email has arrived, whether it has been opened and whether links have been clicked. All of this information is stored on MailChimp servers. This allows us to receive statistical evaluations and see exactly how well our newsletter was received by you. In this way we can adapt our offer much better to your wishes and improve our service.n.

MailChimp may also use this data to improve its own service. This means, for example, that shipping can be technically optimized or the location (country) of the recipient can be determined.

The following cookies can be set by Mailchimp. This is not a complete list of cookies, but rather an exemplary selection:

Sometimes it may happen that you open our newsletter via a link provided for a better display. This is the case, for example, if your email program does not work or the newsletter is not displayed properly. The newsletter is then displayed via a MailChimp website. MailChimp also uses cookies (small text files that store data on your browser) on its own websites. Personal data may be processed by MailChimp and its partners (e.g. Google Analytics). This data collection is the responsibility of MailChimp and we have no influence on it. In the Cookie Statement from MailChimp (at:r: https://mailchimp.com/legal/cookies/) you will find out exactly how and why the company uses cookies.

How long and where is the data stored?

Since MailChimp is an American company, all data collected is also stored on American servers.

In principle, the data remains permanently stored on Mailchimp's servers and is only deleted when you request it. You can have your contact deleted by us. This permanently removes all of your personal information from us and anonymizes you in Mailchimp reports. However, you can also request the deletion of your data directly from MailChimp. Then all your data will be removed there and we will receive a notification from MailChimp. After we receive the email, we have 30 days to delete your contact from all connected integrations.

How can I delete my data or prevent data storage?

You can withdraw your consent to receive our newsletter at any time within the email you receive by clicking on the link at the bottom. If you have unsubscribed by clicking on the unsubscribe link, your data will be deleted from MailChimp.

Sendinblue privacy policy

We would of course be delighted if you signed up for our newsletter. This means we can always provide you with up-to-date, first-hand information about what is currently happening in our company. However, you should know that when registering for the newsletter, all the data you enter (such as your email address or your first and last name) will be stored and managed on our server and at Sendinblue. This is also personal data. For example, in addition to the time and date of registration, your IP address is also stored. During the registration process, you also agree that we can send you the newsletter and reference is also made to this data protection declaration.
The newsletter service also offers us helpful analysis options. This means that when we send a newsletter, we find out, for example, whether and when the newsletter was opened by you. The software also recognizes and records whether and which link you click in the newsletter. This information helps enormously to adapt and optimize our service to your wishes and concerns. Ultimately, of course, we want to offer you the best possible service. In addition to the data already mentioned above, data about your user behavior is also stored.

You can revoke your consent to this data processing at any time. For example, if you click on the unsubscribe link directly in the newsletter. After unsubscribing, the personal data will be deleted from our server and from the Sendinblue servers located in Germany.

We use Google AdSense on this website. This is an advertising program from Google Inc. In Europe, Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street Dublin 4, Ireland) is responsible for all Google services. With Google AdSense we can display advertisements on this website that match our topic. In this way, we offer you advertisements that ideally represent real added value for you. In this data protection declaration about Google AdSense, we explain to you why we use Google AdSense on our website, which of your data is processed and stored and how you can prevent this data storage.

What is Google AdSense?

The Google AdSense advertising program has been around since 2003. In contrast to Google Ads (formerly: Google AdWords), you cannot advertise here yourself. Advertisements are displayed on websites, such as ours, via Google AdSense. The biggest advantage of this advertising service compared to some others is that Google AdSense only shows you ads that match our content. Google has its own algorithm that calculates which ads you see. Of course, we only want to offer you advertising that interests you and offers you added value. Google checks which advertisements are suitable for our website and for our users based on your interests or user behavior and our offering. At this point we would also like to mention that we are not responsible for the selection of advertisements. We only offer advertising space on our website. Google makes the selection of the advertising displayed. Since August 2013, the ads have also been adapted to the respective user interface. This means that no matter whether you visit our website from your smartphone, PC or laptop, the ads adapt to your device.

Why do we use Google AdSense on our website?

Running a high-quality website requires a lot of dedication and commitment. Basically, we never finish working on our website. We always try to maintain our site and keep it as up to date as possible. Of course, we also want to achieve economic success with this work. That's why we chose advertising as a source of income. The most important thing for us, however, is not to disturb your visit to our website with these advertisements. With the help of Google AdSense, you will only be offered advertising that matches our topics and your interests.

Similar to Google indexing a website, a bot examines the corresponding content and offers on our website. The content of the advertisements is then adjusted and presented on the website. In addition to the content overlap between the ad and the website offering, AdSense also supports interest-based targeting. This means that Google also uses your data to offer advertising tailored to you. This way you receive advertising that ideally offers you real added value and we have a higher chance of earning a little something.

What data is stored by Google AdSense?

In order for Google AdSense to display tailor-made advertising tailored to you, cookies are used, among other things. Cookies are small text files that store certain information on your computer.

Google AdSense sends a cookie to the browser after every impression (this is the case whenever you see an ad), every click and every other activity that leads to a call to the Google AdSense servers. If the browser accepts the cookie, it will be stored there.t.

Third parties may use AdSense to place and read cookies on your browser or use web beacons to store data obtained by serving ads on the website. Web beacons are small graphics that carry out a log file analysis and a recording of the log file. This analysis enables statistical evaluation for online marketing.

Information on how you handle an ad (clicks, impressions, mouse movements)
Information about whether an ad has already appeared in your browser at an earlier point in time. This data helps prevent you from showing an ad more often.

Google Ads (Google AdWords) Conversion Tracking Privacy Policy

We use Google Ads (formerly Google AdWords) as an online marketing measure to advertise our products and services. We want to make more people aware of the high quality of our offerings on the Internet. As part of our advertising measures through Google Ads, we use conversion tracking from Google Inc. on our website. In Europe, however, the company Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street Dublin 4, Ireland) is responsible for all Google services. This free tracking tool allows us to better tailor our advertising offerings to your interests and needs. In the following article we want to go into more detail about why we use conversion tracking, what data is stored and how you can prevent this data storage.

What is Google Ads Conversion Tracking?

Google Ads (formerly Google AdWords) is the in-house online advertising system of Google Inc. We are convinced of the quality of our offering and want as many people as possible to get to know our website. Google Ads offers the best platform for this online. Of course, we also want to gain a precise overview of the cost-benefit factor of our promotions. That's why we use the Google Ads conversion tracking tool.

But what is a conversion actually? A conversion occurs when you go from being a purely interested website visitor to taking action. This always happens when you click on our ad and then carry out another action, such as visiting our website. We use Google's conversion tracking tool to record what happens after a user clicks on our Google Ads ad. For example, we can see whether products are purchased, services are used or whether users have signed up for our newsletter..

Why do we use Google Ads conversion tracking on our website?

We use Google Ads to draw attention to our offer on other websites. The aim is to ensure that our advertising campaigns only reach those people who are interested in our offers.

We use selected tools from Facebook on our website. Facebook is a social media network owned by Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2 Ireland. These tools enable us to offer you and people who are interested in our products and services the best possible offer. Below we provide an overview of the various Facebook tools, what data is sent to Facebook and how you can delete this data.

What are Facebook tools?

In addition to many other products, Facebook also offers the so-called Facebook Business Tools. This is the official name of Facebook. Since the term is hardly known, we have decided to just call them Facebook tools. These include, among others:m:

Facebook pixel
social plug-ins (such as the like or share button)ton)
Facebook login
Account kit
APIs (programming interface)
SDKs (collection of programming tools)
Platform integrations
Plugins
Codes
Specifications
Documentations
Technologies and services

Through these tools, Facebook expands services and has the opportunity to obtain information about user activities outside of Facebook.

Why do we use Facebook tools on our website?

We only want to show our services and products to people who are really interested in them. With the help of advertisements (Facebook Ads) we can reach exactly these people. However, in order to show users appropriate advertising, Facebook needs information about people's wishes and needs. The company is provided with information about user behavior (and contact details) on our website. This means that Facebook collects better user data and can show interested people the appropriate advertising about our products or services. The tools thus enable tailor-made advertising campaigns on Facebook.

Facebook calls data about your behavior on our website event data. These are also used for measurement and analysis services. This allows Facebook to create campaign reports on our behalf about the impact of our advertising campaigns. We also use analyzes to gain a better insight into how you use our services, website or products. This allows us to use some of these tools to optimize your user experience on our website. For example, you can use the social plug-ins to share content on our site directly on Facebook.len.

What data is stored by Facebook tools?

By using individual Facebook tools, personal data (customer data) can be sent to Facebook. Depending on the tools used, customer data such as name, address, telephone number and IP address may be sent.

Facebook uses this information to compare the data with the data it has about you (if you are a Facebook member). Before customer data is transmitted to Facebook, so-called hashing takes place. This means that a data set of any size is transformed into a character string. This also serves to encrypt data.n.

In addition to the contact details, event data is also transmitted. Event data refers to the information that we receive about you on our website. For example, which subpages you visit or which products you buy from us. Facebook does not share the information it receives with third parties (such as advertisers) unless the company has explicit permission or is legally required to do so. Event data can also be linked to contact details. This allows Facebook to offer better personalized advertising. After the matching process already mentioned, Facebook deletes the contact data again.ieder.

In order to deliver advertisements in an optimized manner, Facebook only uses the event data if it has been combined with other data (which was collected by Facebook in other ways). Facebook also uses this event data for security, protection, development and research purposes. Much of this data is transferred to Facebook via cookies. Cookies are small text files that are used to store data or information in browsers. Depending on the tools used and whether you are a Facebook member, different numbers of cookies are created in your browser. In the descriptions of the individual Facebook tools we go into more detail about individual Facebook cookies. You can also find out general information about the use of Facebook cookies at https://www.facebook.com/policies/cookies.

How long and where is the data stored?

Basically, Facebook stores data until it is no longer needed for its own services and Facebook products. Facebook has servers around the world where its data is stored. However, customer data will be deleted within 48 hours after it has been compared with your own user data.

How can I delete my data or prevent data storage?

In accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation, you have the right to information, correction, portability and deletion of your data.

The data will only be completely deleted if you completely delete your Facebook account. Here's how deleting your Facebook account works:

Instagram privacy policy

We have installed Instagram functions on our website. Instagram is a social media platform owned by Instagram LLC, 1601 Willow Rd, Menlo Park CA 94025, USA. Instagram has been a subsidiary of Facebook Inc. since 2012 and is one of the Facebook products. Embedding Instagram content on our website is called embedding. This allows us to show you content such as buttons, photos or videos from Instagram directly on our website. If you access websites on our website that have an Instagram function integrated, data will be transmitted to Instagram, stored and processed. Instagram uses the same systems and technologies as Facebook. Your data will therefore be processed across all Facebook companies.

Below we would like to give you a more detailed insight into why Instagram collects data, what data it is and how you can largely control data processing. Since Instagram belongs to Facebook Inc., we obtain our information from the Instagram guidelines on the one hand, but also from the Facebook data guidelines themselves on the other.

What is Instagram??

Instagram is one of the most famous social media networks worldwide. Instagram combines the advantages of a blog with the advantages of audiovisual platforms such as YouTube or Vimeo. You can upload photos and short videos to Insta (as many users casually call the platform), edit them with various filters and also distribute them on other social networks. And if you don't want to be active yourself, you can just follow other interesting users.n.

Why do we use Instagram on our website?

Instagram is the social media platform that has really taken off in recent years. And of course we also reacted to this boom. We want you to feel as comfortable as possible on our website. That's why it's a matter of course for us to prepare our content in a varied manner. The embedded Instagram functions allow us to enrich our content with helpful, funny or exciting content from the Instagram world. Since Instagram is a subsidiary of Facebook, the data collected can also be useful to us for personalized advertising on Facebook. This means our advertisements only reach people who are really interested in our products or services.

Instagram also uses the collected data for measurement and analysis purposes. We get summarized statistics and thus more insight into your wishes and interests. It is important to note that these reports do not identify you personally.

What data does Instagram store??

If you come across one of our pages that has built-in Instagram functions (such as Instagram images or plug-ins), your browser will automatically contact Instagram's servers. Data is sent to Instagram, stored and processed. Regardless of whether you have an Instagram account or not. This includes information about our website, about your computer, about purchases you make, about advertisements you see and how you use our services. The date and time of your interaction with Instagram are also stored. If you have an Instagram account or are logged in, Instagram stores significantly more data about you.

Facebook differentiates between customer data and event data. We assume that this is exactly the case with Instagram. Customer data includes, for example, name, address, telephone number and IP address. This customer data will only be transmitted to Instagram once it has been hashed. Hashing means turning a data set into a string. This allows you to encrypt the contact details. In addition, the event data mentioned above will also be transmitted. Facebook and therefore Instagram also understand event data as data about your user behavior. It can also happen that contact data is combined with event data. The contact details collected will be compared with the data Instagram already has about you.glichen.

The collected data is transmitted to Facebook via small text files (cookies), which are usually set in your browser. Depending on the Instagram functions used and whether you have an Instagram account, different amounts of data are stored.

We assume that data processing on Instagram works in the same way as on Facebook. This means: if you have an Instagram account or www.instagram.com Instagram has at least set a cookie. If this is the case, your browser will send information to Instagram via the cookie as soon as you come into contact with an Instagram function. This data will be deleted or anonymized after 90 days at the latest (after comparison). Although we have looked intensively into Instagram's data processing, we cannot say exactly what data Instagram collects and stores.

Below we will show you the minimum cookies that are set in your browser when you click on an Instagram function (such as a button or an Insta picture). In our test, we assume that you do not have an Instagram account. If you are logged in to Instagram, significantly more cookies will of course be set in your browser.

These cookies were used in our test:

Expiry Date: after the end of the session

Annotation: We cannot claim completeness here. Which cookies are set in each individual case depends on the embedded functions and your use of Instagram.

How long and where is the data stored?

Instagram shares the information it receives between Facebook companies, with external partners and with people you connect with around the world. Data processing takes place in compliance with our own data guidelines. Your data is distributed on Facebook servers around the world, among other things for security reasons.

Twitter privacy policy

We have integrated Twitter functions on our website. These include, for example, embedded tweets, timelines, buttons or hashtags. Twitter is a short messaging service and a social media platform from Twitter Inc., One Cumberland Place, Fenian Street, Dublin 2 D02 AX07, Ireland.

To our knowledge, in the European Economic Area and Switzerland, the mere integration of the Twitter function does not mean that any personal data or data about your web activities are transferred to Twitter. Only when you interact with the Twitter functions, such as clicking on a button, can data be sent to Twitter, stored and processed there. We have no influence on this data processing and bear no responsibility. As part of this data protection declaration, we want to give you an overview of what data Twitter stores, what Twitter does with this data and how you can largely protect yourself from data transfer.

What is Twitter?

For some, Twitter is a news service, for others it is a social media platform and for others it is a microblogging service. All of these terms have their place and mean more or less the same thing.

Both private individuals and companies use Twitter to communicate with interested people via short messages. Twitter only allows 280 characters per message. These messages are called tweets. Unlike Facebook, for example, the service does not focus on expanding a network of friends, but rather wants to be seen as a global and open news platform. On Twitter you can also have an anonymous account and tweets can be deleted by the company on the one hand and by the users themselves on the other.den.

Why do we use Twitter on our website?

Like many other websites and companies, we try to offer our services and communicate with our customers through various channels. Twitter in particular has grown on us as a useful little news service. We constantly tweet or retweet exciting, funny or interesting content. We understand that you cannot follow every channel separately. After all, you also have something else to do. That's why we have also integrated Twitter functions on our website. You can experience our Twitter activity on site or visit our Twitter page via a direct link. Through the integration we want to strengthen our service and user-friendliness on our website.ken.

What data does Twitter store??

On some of our subpages you will find the built-in Twitter functions. When you interact with Twitter content, such as clicking a button, Twitter may collect and store data. Even if you don't have a Twitter account yourself. Twitter calls this data log data. This includes demographic data, browser cookie IDs, your smartphone ID, hashed email addresses, and information about which pages you have visited on Twitter and what actions you have taken. Of course, Twitter stores more data if you have a Twitter account and are logged in. This storage usually happens via cookies. Cookies are small text files that are usually set in your browser and transmit various information to Twitter.n.

We will now show you which cookies are set when you are not logged in to Twitter but visit a website with built-in Twitter functions. Please consider this list as an example. We cannot guarantee completeness under any circumstances, as the choice of cookies is always changing and depends on your individual actions with the Twitter content.

These cookies were used in our test:

Annotation: Twitter also works with third parties. That's why we also recognized the three Google Analytics cookies _ga, _gat, _gid in our test.

On the one hand, Twitter uses the data collected to better understand user behavior and thus improve its own services and advertising offers, and on the other hand, the data also serves internal security measures.

How long and where is the data stored?

If Twitter collects data from other websites, it will be deleted, summarized or otherwise hidden after a maximum of 30 days. The Twitter servers are located in various server centers in the United States. It can therefore be assumed that the data collected is collected and stored in America. After our research, we could not clearly determine whether Twitter also has its own servers in Europe. In principle, Twitter can store the data collected until it is no longer useful to the company, you delete the data or there is a statutory deletion period.

How can I delete my data or prevent data storage?

Twitter repeatedly emphasizes in its data protection guidelines that it does not store data from external website visits if you or your browser are located in the European Economic Area or Switzerland. However, if you interact with Twitter directly, Twitter will of course also store your data.

If you have a Twitter account, you can manage your information by clicking More under the profile button. Then click on Settings and Privacy. Here you can manage data processing individually.alten.

Here you can find instructions for cookie management for the most popular browsers.r.

Firefox: Delete cookies to remove data that websites have placed on your computer

Chrome: Delete, enable and manage cookies in Chrome

You can also manage your browser so that you are informed about each individual cookie. Then you can always decide individually whether you allow a cookie or not.

If you have any further questions on this topic, we recommend that you read the Twitter privacy policy at https://twitter.com/de/privacy.

LinkedIn privacy policy

On our website we use social plug-ins from the social media network LinkedIn, from LinkedIn Corporation, 2029 Stierlin Court, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. The social plug-ins can be feeds, sharing content or linking to our LinkedIn page. The social plug-ins are clearly marked with the well-known LinkedIn logo and allow, for example, interesting content to be shared directly via our website. For the European Economic Area and Switzerland, LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company Wilton Place in Dublin is responsible for data processing.

By embedding such plug-ins, data can be sent to LinkedIn, stored and processed there. In this data protection declaration we want to inform you what data is involved, how the network uses this data and how you can manage or prevent data storage.

What is LinkedIn?

LinkedIn is the largest social network for business contacts. Unlike Facebook, for example, the company focuses exclusively on building business contacts. Companies can present services and products and establish business relationships on the platform. Many people also use LinkedIn to search for jobs or to find suitable employees for their own company. In Germany alone, the network has over 11 million members. In Austria there are around 1.3 million.

Why do we use LinkedIn on our website?

We know how busy you are. You can't track all social media channels individually. Even if, as in our case, it would be worth it. Because we always post interesting news or reports that are worth spreading. That's why we have created the option on our website to share interesting content directly on LinkedIn or to link directly to our LinkedIn page. We view built-in social plugins as an extended service on our website. The data that LinkedIn collects also helps us to show possible advertising measures only to people who are interested in what we offer.

What data does LinkedIn store??

LinkedIn does not store any personal data simply by integrating the social plug-ins. LinkedIn calls this data generated by plugins passive impressions. However, if you click on a social plug-in, for example to share our content, the platform saves personal data as so-called active impressions. Regardless of whether you have a LinkedIn account or not. If you are logged in, the data collected will be assigned to your account.t.

Your browser establishes a direct connection to LinkedIn's servers when you interact with our plug-ins. The company logs various usage data. In addition to your IP address, this can include, for example, registration data, device information or information about your Internet or mobile phone provider. If you access LinkedIn services via your smartphone, your location can also be determined (after you have allowed this). LinkedIn may also pass on this data in hashed form to third-party advertisers. Hashing means turning a data set into a string. This allows the data to be encrypted so that people can no longer be identified.n.

Most of the data about your user behavior is stored in cookies. These are small text files that are usually placed in your browser. LinkedIn can also use web beacons, pixel tags, display tags and other device recognition.

Various tests also show which cookies are set when a user interacts with a social plug-in. The data found cannot claim to be complete and only serves as an example. The following cookies were set without being logged in to LinkedIn:

How long and where is the data stored?

Google reCAPTCHA privacy policy

Our primary goal is to secure and protect our website as best as possible for you and for us. To ensure this, we use Google reCAPTCHA from Google Inc. For Europe, the company Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street Dublin 4, Ireland) is responsible for all Google services. With reCAPTCHA we can determine whether you are really a human being and not a robot or other spam software. By spam we mean any unwanted information sent to us electronically without being asked. With the classic CAPTCHAS, you usually had to solve text or image puzzles to check. With reCAPTCHA from Google, we usually don't have to bother you with such puzzles. In most cases it is enough to simply check the box and confirm that you are not a bot. With the new Invisible reCAPTCHA version you don't even have to check the box anymore. You will find out exactly how this works and, above all, what data is used for this in the course of this data protection declaration.

What is reCAPTCHA?

reCAPTCHA is a free Captcha service from Google that protects websites from spam software and misuse by non-human visitors. Most often, this service is used when filling out forms on the Internet. A captcha service is a type of automatic Turing test designed to ensure that an action on the Internet is carried out by a human and not a bot. In the classic Turing test (named after the computer scientist Alan Turing), a human determines the difference between a bot and a human. With Captchas, this is also done by the computer or a software program. Classic captchas work with small tasks that are easy for humans to solve, but are significantly difficult for machines. With reCAPTCHA you no longer have to actively solve puzzles. The tool uses modern risk techniques to distinguish humans from bots. Here you just have to tick the text field I am not a robot, or with Invisible reCAPTCHA this is no longer necessary. With reCAPTCHA, a JavaScript element is integrated into the source code and then the tool runs in the background and analyzes your user behavior. The software calculates a so-called Captcha score from these user actions. Google uses this score to calculate how likely you are to be human before you enter the Captcha. reCAPTCHA or captchas in general are always used when bots could manipulate or abuse certain actions (such as registrations, surveys, etc.).n.

Why do we use reCAPTCHA on our website?

We only want to welcome people of flesh and blood to our side. Bots or spam software of all kinds can safely stay at home. That's why we do everything we can to protect ourselves and offer you the best possible user-friendliness. For this reason we use Google reCAPTCHA from Google. So we can be pretty sure that we will remain a bot-free website. By using reCAPTCHA, data is transmitted to Google to determine whether you are actually human. reCAPTCHA therefore serves the security of our website and subsequently also your security. For example, without reCAPTCHA, it could happen that when registering, a bot registers as many email addresses as possible in order to then spam forums or blogs with unwanted advertising content. With reCAPTCHA we can avoid such bot attacks.den.

What data is stored by reCAPTCHA??

reCAPTCHA collects personal data from users to determine whether the actions on our website actually come from humans. This means that the IP address and other data that Google requires for the reCAPTCHA service can be sent to Google. IP addresses are almost always shortened within EU member states or other contracting states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area before the data ends up on a server in the USA. The IP address will not be combined with other Google data unless you are logged in with your Google account while using reCAPTCHA. First, the reCAPTCHA algorithm checks whether Google cookies from other Google services (YouTube, Gmail, etc.) are already placed on your browser. reCAPTCHA then sets an additional cookie in your browser and captures a snapshot of your browser window.

The following list of collected browser and user data is not intended to be complete. Rather, these are examples of data that, to our knowledge, are processed by Google.

Referrer URL (the address of the page from which the visitor comes)
IP address (e.g. 256.123.123.1)
Information about the operating system (the software that enables your computer to operate. Well-known operating systems are Windows, Mac OS X or Linux)
Cookies (small text files that store data in your browser)
Mouse and keyboard behavior (every action you perform with the mouse or keyboard is saved)
Date and language settings (which language or date you have preset on your PC will be saved)
All JavaScript objects (JavaScript is a programming language that allows websites to adapt to the user. JavaScript objects can collect all kinds of data under one name)
Screen resolution (shows how many pixels the image consists of)

It is undisputed that Google uses and analyzes this data even before you click on the I'm not a robot checkmark. With the Invisible reCAPTCHA version, there is no need to tick anything and the entire recognition process runs in the background. Google does not tell you in detail how much and what data Google stores.l.

The following cookies are used by reCAPTCHA: Here we refer to the reCAPTCHA demo version from Google https://www.google.com/recaptcha/api2/demo. All of these cookies require a unique identifier for tracking purposes. Here is a list of cookies that Google reCAPTCHA has set on the demo version:

Annotation: This list cannot claim to be complete, as experience has shown that Google continually changes its choice of cookies.

How long and where is the data stored?

By inserting reCAPTCHA, your data will be transferred to the Google server. Google does not make it clear where exactly this data is stored, even after repeated inquiries. Without receiving confirmation from Google, it can be assumed that data such as mouse interaction, time spent on the website or language settings are stored on the European or American Google platforms. stored on servers. The IP address that your browser transmits to Google is generally not merged with other Google data from other Google services. However, if you are logged into your Google account while using the reCAPTCHA plugin, the data will be merged. The different data protection regulations of Google apply.

How can I delete my data or prevent data storage?

If you do not want any data about you and your behavior to be transmitted to Google, you must log out of Google completely and delete all Google cookies before you visit our website or use the reCAPTCHA software. In principle, the data is automatically transmitted to Google as soon as you access our site.

A website with a lot of interesting content often becomes so large that you can lose track of it. Over time we have accumulated a lot of valuable material and as part of our service we want you to find our content as quickly and easily as possible. Google Custom Search makes finding interesting content a breeze. The built-in Google plug-in improves the overall quality of our website and makes searching easier for you.

What data is stored by custom Google search?

The custom Google search only transfers your data to Google if you actively use the Google search built into our website. This means that only when you enter a search term in the search bar and then confirm this term (e.g. click on Enter) will your IP address, along with the search term, be sent to Google, stored and processed there. Based on the cookies set (such as 1P_JAR), it can be assumed that Google also receives data on website usage. If you search for content using the built-in Google search function during your visit to our website and are logged in with your Google account at the same time, Google can also assign the data collected to your Google account. As website operators, we have no influence on what Google does with the data collected or how Google processes the data.t.

How long and where is the data stored?

Google servers are located all over the world. Since Google is an American company, most of its data is stored on American servers. Under https://www.google.com/about/datacenters/inside/locations/hl=dee see exactly where the Google servers are located.
Your data is distributed on different physical storage media. This means that the data can be accessed more quickly and is better protected against possible manipulation. Google also has corresponding emergency programs for your data. For example, if Google has internal technical problems that cause servers to stop working, the risk of service interruption and data loss remains low.
Depending on what data it is, Google stores it for different lengths of time. You can delete some data yourself, others will be automatically deleted or anonymized by Google. But there is also data that Google stores for longer if this is necessary for legal or business reasons.

How can I delete my data or prevent data storage?

Under European Union data protection law, you have the right to access, update, delete or restrict your data. There is some data that you can delete at any time. If you have a Google account, you can delete data about your web activity or set it to be deleted after a certain period of time.

WooCommerce Datenschutzerklärung

Wir haben auf unserer Website das Open-Source Shopsystem WooCommerce als Plugin eingebunden. Dieses WooCommerce-Plugin basiert auf dem Content-Management-System WordPress, das ein Tochterunternehmen der Firma Automattic Inc. (60 29th Street #343, San Francisco, CA 94110, USA) ist. Durch die implementierten Funktionen werden Daten an Automattic Inc. versandt, gespeichert und verarbeitet. In dieser Datenschutzerklärung informieren wir Sie, um welche Daten es sich handelt, wie das Netzwerk diese Daten verwendet und wie Sie die Datenspeicherung verwalten bzw. unterbinden können.

Was ist WooCommerce?

WooCommerce ist ein Onlineshop-System, das seit 2011 Teil des Verzeichnisses von WordPress ist und speziell für WordPress-Websites entwickelt wurde. Es ist eine anpassbare, quelloffene eCommerce-Plattform, die auf WordPress basiert und auch als WordPress-Plugin in unsere Website eingebunden wurde.

Warum verwenden wir WooCommerce auf unserer Webseite?

Wir nutzen diese praktische Onlineshop-Lösung, um Ihnen unserer physischen oder digitalen Produkte oder Dienstleistungen bestmöglich auf unserer Website anbieten zu können. Ziel ist es, Ihnen einen einfachen und leichten Zugang zu unserem Angebot zu ermöglichen, damit Sie unkompliziert und schnell zu Ihren gewünschten Produkten kommen. Mit WooCommerce haben wir hier ein gutes Plugin gefunden, das unseren Ansprüchen an einen Onlineshop erfüllt.

Welche Daten werden von WooCommerce gespeichert?

Informationen, die Sie aktiv in ein Textfeld in unserem Onlineshop eingeben, können von WooCommerce bzw. von Automattic gesammelt und gespeichert werden. Also wenn Sie sich bei uns anmelden bzw. ein Produkt bestellen, kann Automattic diese Daten sammeln, verarbeiten und speichern. Dabei kann es sich neben E-Mail-Adresse, Namen oder Adresse auch um Kreditkarten- oder Rechnungsinformationen handeln. Automattic kann diese Informationen in weiterer Folge auch für eigene Marketing-Kampagnen nützen.

Zudem gibt es auch noch Informationen, die Automattic automatisch in sogenannten Serverlogfiles von Ihnen sammelt:

IP-Adresse
Browserinformationen
Voreingestellte Spracheinstellung
Datum und Uhrzeit des Webzugriffs

WooCommerce setzt in Ihrem Browser auch Cookies und verwendet Technologien wie Pixel-Tags (Web Beacons), um beispielsweise Sie als User klar zu identifizieren und möglicherweise interessensbezogene Werbung anbieten zu können. WooCommerce verwendet eine Reihe verschiedener Cookies, die je nach Useraktion gesetzt werden. Das heißt, wenn Sie zum Beispiel ein Produkt in den Warenkorb legen wird ein Cookie gesetzt, damit das Produkt auch im Warenkorb bleibt, wenn Sie unsere Website verlassen und zu einem späteren Zeitpunkt wiederkommen.

Hier zeigen wir Ihnen eine beispielhafte Liste möglicher Cookies, die von WooCommerce gesetzt werden können:

Name: woocommerce_items_in_cart
Wert: 1
Verwendungszweck: Das Cookie hilft WooCommerce festzustellen, wann sich der Inhalt im Warenkorb verändert.
Ablaufdatum: nach Sitzungsende

Name: woocommerce_cart_hash
Wert: 447c84f810834056ab37cfe5ed27f204111405871-7
Verwendungszweck: Auch dieses Cookie wird dafür eingesetzt, um die Veränderungen in Ihrem Warenkorb zu erkennen und zu speichern.
Ablaufdatum: nach Sitzungsende

Name: wp_woocommerce_session_d9e29d251cf8a108a6482d9fe2ef34b6
Wert: 1146%7C%7C1589034207%7C%7C95f8053ce0cea135bbce671043e740111405871-4aa
Verwendungszweck: Dieses Cookie enthält eine eindeutige Kennung für Sie, damit die Warenkorbdaten in der Datenbank auch gefunden werden können.
Ablaufdatum: nach 2 Tagen

Wie lange und wo werden die Daten gespeichert?

Sofern es keine gesetzliche Verpflichtung gibt, Daten für einen längeren Zeitraum aufzubewahren, löscht WooCommerce die Daten dann, wenn Sie für die eigenen Zwecke, für die Sie gespeichert wurden, nicht mehr benötigt werden. So werden zum Beispiel Serverlogfiles, die technische Daten zu Ihrem Browser und Ihrer IP-Adresse erhalten etwa nach 30 Tagen wieder gelöscht. Solange verwendet Automattic die Daten, um den Verkehr auf den eigenen Websites (zum Beispiel alle WordPress-Seiten) zu analysieren und mögliche Probleme zu beheben. Die Daten werden auf amerikanischen Servern von Automattic gespeichert.

Wie kann ich meine Daten löschen bzw. die Datenspeicherung verhindern?

Sie haben jederzeit das Recht auf Ihre personenbezogenen Daten zuzugreifen und Einspruch gegen die Nutzung und Verarbeitung dieser zu erheben. Sie können auch jederzeit bei einer staatlichen Aufsichtsbehörde eine Beschwerde einreichen.

In Ihrem Browser haben Sie auch die Möglichkeit, Cookies individuell zu verwalten, zu löschen oder zu deaktivieren. Nehmen Sie aber bitte zur Kenntnis, dass deaktivierte oder gelöschte Cookies mögliche negative Auswirkungen auf die Funktionen unseres WooCommerce-Onlineshops haben. Je nachdem, welchen Browser Sie verwenden, funktioniert das Verwalten der Cookies etwas anders. Im Folgenden sehen Sie Links zu den Anleitungen der gängigsten Browser:

Klarna Checkout Datenschutzerklärung

Wir verwenden auf unserer Website das Online-Zahlungssystem Klarna Checkout des schwedischen Unternehmens Klarna Bank AB. Die Klarna-Bank hat ihren Hauptfirmensitz in Sveavägen 46, 111 34 Stockholm, Schweden. Wenn Sie sich für diesen Dienst entscheiden, werden unter anderem personenbezogene Daten an Klarna gesendet, gespeichert und verarbeitet. In dieser Datenschutzerklärung möchten wir Ihnen einen Überblick über die Datenverarbeitung durch Klarna geben.

Was ist Klarna Checkout?

Klarna Checkout ist ein Zahlungssystem für Bestellungen in einem Onlineshop. Dabei wählt der Nutzer die Zahlungsart und Klarna Checkout übernimmt den gesamten Zahlungsprozess. Nachdem ein Nutzer einmal eine Zahlung über das Checkout-System durchgeführt hat und die entsprechenden Daten angegeben hat, können zukünftige Online-Einkäufe noch schneller und einfacher durchgeführt werden. Das Klarna-System erkennt dann bereits nach Eingabe der E-Mail-Adresse und Postleitzahl den bestehenden Kunden.

Warum verwenden wir Klarna Checkout für unsere Webseite?

Unser Ziel mit unserer Website und unserem eingebundenen Onlineshop ist es, Ihnen das bestmögliche Service zu bieten. Dazu zählt neben dem Gesamterlebnis auf der Website und neben unseren Angeboten auch eine reibungslose, schnelle und sichere Zahlungsabwicklung Ihrer Bestellungen. Um das zu gewährleisten, nutzen wir das Zahlungssystem Klarna Checkout.

Welche Daten werden von Klarna Checkout gespeichert?

Sobald Sie sich für den Zahlungsdienst Klarna entscheiden und über die Zahlungsmethode Klarna Checkout bezahlen, übermitteln Sie auch personenbezogene Daten an das Unternehmen. Auf der Klarna Checkout-Seite werden technische Daten wie Browsertyp, Betriebssystem, unsere Internetadresse, Datum und Uhrzeit, Spracheinstellungen, Zeitzoneneinstellungen und IP-Adresse von Ihnen erhoben und an die Server von Klarna übermittelt und dort gespeichert. Diese Daten werden auch dann gespeichert, wenn Sie noch keine Bestellung abgeschlossen haben.

Wenn Sie ein Produkt oder eine Dienstleistung über unseren Shop bestellen, müssen Sie in die vorgegebenen Felder Daten zu Ihrer Person eingeben. Diese Daten werden durch Klarna für die Zahlungsabwicklung verarbeitet. Dabei können zur Bonitäts- und Identitätsprüfung speziell folgende personenbezogenen Daten (sowie allgemeine Produktinformationen) durch Klarna gespeichert und verarbeitet werden:

Kontaktinformationen: Namen, Geburtsdatum, nationale Ausweisnummer, Titel, Rechnungs- und Lieferadresse, E-Mail-Adresse, Telefonnummer, Nationalität oder Gehalt.
Zahlungsinformationen wie Kreditkartendaten oder Ihre Kontonummer
Produktinformationen wie Sendungsnummer, Art des Artikels und Preis des Produkts

Zudem gibt es auch noch Daten, die optional erhoben werden können, sofern Sie sich dazu bewusst entscheiden. Das sind etwa politische, religiöse oder weltanschauliche Überzeugungen oder diverse Gesundheitsdaten.

Klarna kann auch selbst oder über Dritte (wie beispielsweise über uns oder über öffentliche Datenbanken) neben den oben genannten Daten auch Daten zu den Waren oder Dienstleistungen, die Sie kaufen oder bestellen erheben. Das kann zum Beispiel die Sendungsnummer oder die Art des bestellten Artikels sein, aber auch Auskünfte über Ihre Bonität, über Ihr Einkommen oder Kreditgewährungen. Klarna kann Ihre personenbezogenen Daten auch Dienstleister wie etwa Softwareanbieter, Datenspeicheranbieter oder uns als Händler weitergeben.

Wenn Daten automatisch in ein Formular eingetragen werden, dann sind immer Cookies im Spiel. Wenn Sie diese Funktion nicht nutzen wollen, können Sie jederzeit diese Cookies deaktivieren. Weiter unten im Text finden Sie eine Anleitung, wie Sie Cookies in Ihrem Browser grundsätzlich löschen, deaktivieren oder verwalten. Unsere Tests haben ergeben, dass von Klarna direkt keine Cookies gesetzt werden. Wenn Sie die Zahlungsmethode “Klarna Sofort” wählen und auf “Bestellen” klicken, werden Sie auf die Sofort-Website weitergeleitet. Nach der erfolgreichen Zahlung kommen Sie auf unsere Dankesseite. Dort wird von sofort.com folgendes Cookie gesetzt:

Ablaufdatum: nach Beenden der Browsersitzung

Wie lange und wo werden die Daten gespeichert?

Klarna ist bemüht Ihre Daten nur innerhalb der EU bzw. des Europäischen Wirtschaftsraums (EWR) zu speichern. Es kann aber auch vorkommen, dass Daten außerhalb des EU/EWR übertragen werden. Wenn das passiert, stellt Klarna sicher, dass der Datenschutz im Einklang mit der DSGVO steht, das Drittland in einer Angemessenheitsentscheidung der Europäischen Union steht oder das Land das Zertifikat des US-Privacy Shield besitzt. Die Daten werden immer solange gespeichert, wie Klarna sie für den Verarbeitungszweck benötigt.

Wie kann ich meine Daten löschen bzw. die Datenspeicherung verhindern?

Sie können Ihre Einwilligung, dass Klarna personenbezogene Daten verarbeitet jederzeit widerrufen. Sie haben auch immer das Recht auf Auskunft, Berichtigung und Löschung Ihrer personenbezogenen Daten. Dafür müssen Sie lediglich das Unternehmen bzw. das Datenschutzteam des Unternehmens per E-Mail an datenschutz@klarna.de kontaktieren. Über die Klarna-Webseite „Meine Datenschutzanfrage“ können Sie ebenfalls mit Klarna direkt in Kontakt treten.

Cookies, die Klarna für ihre Funktionen möglicherweise verwendet, können Sie in Ihrem Browser löschen, deaktivieren oder verwalten. Je nachdem welchen Browser Sie verwenden, funktioniert dies auf unterschiedliche Art und Weise. Die folgenden Anleitungen zeigen, wie Sie Cookies in Ihrem Browser verwalten:

Safari: Verwalten von Cookies und Websitedaten mit Safari

Firefox: Cookies löschen, um Daten zu entfernen, die Websites auf Ihrem Computer abgelegt haben

Internet Explorer: Löschen und Verwalten von Cookies

jQuery CDN Datenschutzerklärung

Um Ihnen unsere Website bzw. all unsere einzelnen Unterseiten (Webseiten) auf unterschiedlichen Geräten schnell und problemlos auszuliefern, nutzen wir Dienste von jQuery CDN des Unternehmens jQuery Foundation. jQuery wird über das Content Delivery Network (CDN) des amerikanischen Software-Unternehmens StackPath (LCC 2012 McKinney Ave. Suite 1100, Dallas, TX 75201, USA) verteilt. Durch diesen Dienst werden personenbezogene Daten von Ihnen gespeichert, verwaltet und verarbeitet.

Ein Content Delivery Network (CDN) ist ein Netzwerk regional verteilter Server, die über das Internet miteinander verbunden sind. Durch dieses Netzwerk können Inhalte, speziell sehr große Dateien, auch bei großen Lastspitzen schnell ausgeliefert werden.

jQuery nutzt JavaScript-Bibliotheken, um unsere Website-Inhalte zügig ausliefern zu können. Dafür lädt ein CDN-Server die nötigen Dateien. Sobald eine Verbindung zum CDN-Server aufgebaut ist, wird Ihre IP-Adresse erfasst und gespeichert. Das geschieht nur, wenn diese Daten nicht schon durch einen vergangenen Websitebesuch in Ihrem Browser gespeichert sind.

In den Datenschutz-Richtlinien von StackPath wird ausdrücklich erwähnt, dass StackPath aggregierte und anonymisierte Daten von diversen Diensten (wie eben auch jQuery) für die Erweiterung der Sicherheit und für eigene Dienste benutzen. Diese Daten können Sie als Person allerdings nicht identifizieren.

Wenn Sie nicht wollen, dass es zu dieser Datenübertragung kommt, haben Sie immer auch die Möglichkeit Java-Scriptblocker wie beispielsweise ghostery.com oder noscript.net zu installieren. Sie können aber auch einfach in Ihrem Browser die Ausführung von JavaScript-Codes deaktivieren. Wenn Sie sich für die Deaktivierung von JavaScript-Codes entscheiden, verändern sich auch die gewohnten Funktionen. So wird beispielsweise eine Website nicht mehr so schnell geladen.

StackPath ist aktiver Teilnehmer beim EU-U.S. Privacy Shield Framework, wodurch der korrekte und sichere Datentransfer persönlicher Daten geregelt wird. Mehr Informationen dazu finden Sie auf https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt0000000CbahAAC&status=Active.
Mehr Informationen zum Datenschutz bei StackPath finden Sie unter https://www.stackpath.com/legal/privacy-statement/ und zu jQuery unter https://openjsf.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/84/2019/11/OpenJS-Foundation-Privacy-Policy-2019-11-15.pdf.

Sofortüberweisung Datenschutzerklärung

Wir bieten auf unserer Website die Zahlungsmethode „Sofortüberweisung“ des Unternehmens Sofort GmbH zur bargeldlosen Bezahlung an. Die Sofort GmbH gehört seit 2014 zum schwedischen Unternehmen Klarna, hat aber ihren Firmensitz in Deutschland, Theresienhöhe 12, 80339 München.

Entscheiden Sie sich für diese Zahlungsmethode werden unter anderem auch personenbezogene Daten an die Sofort GmbH bzw. an Klarna übermittelt, gespeichert und dort verarbeitet. Mit diesem Datenschutztext geben wir Ihnen einen Überblick über die Datenverarbeitung durch die Sofort GmbH.

Was ist eine „Sofortüberweisung“?

Bei der Sofortüberweisung handelt es sich um ein Online-Zahlungssystem, das es Ihnen ermöglicht eine Bestellung über Online-Banking durchzuführen. Dabei wird die Zahlungsabwicklung durch die Sofort GmbH durchgeführt und wir erhalten sofort eine Information über die getätigte Zahlung. Diese Methode kann jeder User nutzen, der ein aktives Online-Banking-Konto mit PIN und TAN hat. Nur noch wenige Banken unterstützen diese Zahlungsmethode noch nicht.

Warum verwenden wir „Sofortüberweisung“ auf unserer Website?

Welche Daten werden von „Sofortüberweisung“ gespeichert?

Wenn Sie über den Sofort/Klarna-Dienst eine Sofortüberweisung durchführen, werden Daten wie Name, Kontonummer, Bankleitzahl, Betreff, Betrag und Datum auf den Servern des Unternehmens gespeichert. Diese Informationen erhalten auch wir über die Zahlungsbestätigung.

Im Rahmen der Kontodeckungsprüfung überprüft die Sofort GmbH, ob Ihr Kontostand und Überziehungskreditrahmen den Zahlungsbetrag abdeckt. In manchen Fällen wird auch überprüft, ob in den letzten 30 Tagen Sofortüberweisungen erfolgreich durchgeführt wurden. Weiters wird Ihre User-Identifikation (wie etwa Verfügernummer oder Vertragsnummer) in gekürzter („gehashter“) Form und Ihre IP-Adresse erhoben und gespeichert. Bei SEPA-Überweisungen wird auch BIC und IBAN gespeichert.

Laut dem Unternehmen werden sonst keine weiteren personenbezogenen Daten (wie Kontostände, Umsatzdaten, Verfügungsrahmen, Kontolisten, Mobiltelefonnummer, Authentifizierungszertifikate, Sicherheitscodses oder PIN/TAN) erhoben, gespeichert oder an Dritte weitergegeben.

Sofortüberweisung nutzt auch Cookies, um den eigenen Dienst benutzerfreundlicher zu gestalten. Wenn Sie ein Produkt bestellen, werden Sie auf die Sofort bzw. Klarna-Website umgeleitet. Nach der erfolgreichen Zahlung werden Sie auf unsere Dankesseite weitergeleitet. Hier werden folgende drei Cookies gesetzt:

Cloudflare Datenschutzerklärung

Wir verwenden auf dieser Webseite Cloudflare der Firma Cloudflare, Inc. (101 Townsend St., San Francisco, CA 94107, USA), um unsere Webseite schneller und sicherer zu machen. Dabei verwendet Cloudflare Cookies und verarbeitet User-Daten. Cloudflare, Inc. ist eine amerikanische Firma, die ein Content Delivery Network und diverse Sicherheitsdienste anbietet. Diese Dienste befinden sich zwischen dem User und unserem Hosting-Anbieter. Was das alles genau bedeutet, versuchen wir im Folgenden genauer zu erläutern.

Was ist Cloudflare?

Ein Content Delivery Network (CDN), wie es die Firma Cloudflare bereitstellt, ist nichts anderes als ein Netzwerk aus verbundenen Servern. Cloudflare hat auf der ganzen Welt solche Server verteilt, um Webseiten schneller auf Ihren Bildschirm zu bringen. Ganz einfach gesagt, legt Cloudflare Kopien unserer Webseite an und platziert sie auf ihren eigenen Servern. Wenn Sie jetzt unsere Webseite besuchen, stellt ein System der Lastenverteilung sicher, dass die größten Teile unserer Webseite von jenem Server ausgeliefert werden, der Ihnen unsere Webseite am schnellsten anzeigen kann. Die Strecke der Datenübertragung zu Ihrem Browser wird durch ein CDN deutlich verkürzt. Somit wird Ihnen der Content unserer Webseite durch Cloudflare nicht nur von unserem Hosting-Server geliefert, sondern von Servern aus der ganzen Welt. Besonders hilfreich wird der Einsatz von Cloudflare für User aus dem Ausland, da hier die Seite von einem Server in der Nähe ausgeliefert werden kann. Neben dem schnellen Ausliefern von Webseiten bietet Cloudflare auch diverse Sicherheitsdienste, wie den DDoS-Schutz oder die Web Application Firewall an.

Warum wir Cloudflare auf unserer Webseite verwenden?

Natürlich wollen wir Ihnen mit unserer Webseite das bestmögliche Service bieten. Cloudflare hilft uns dabei, unsere Webseite schneller und sicherer zu machen. Cloudflare bietet uns sowohl Web-Optimierungen als auch Sicherheitsdienste, wie DDoS-Schutz und Web-Firewall, an. Dazu gehören auch ein Reverse-Proxy und das Content-Verteilungsnetzwerk (CDN). Cloudflare blockiert Bedrohungen und begrenzt missbräuchliche Bots und Crawler, die unsere Bandbreite und Serverressourcen verschwenden. Durch das Speichern unserer Webseite auf lokalen Datenzentren und das Blockieren von Spam-Software ermöglicht Cloudflare, unsere Bandbreitnutzung etwa um 60% zu reduzieren. Das Bereitstellen von Inhalten über ein Datenzentrum in Ihrer Nähe und einiger dort durchgeführten Web-Optimierungen reduziert die durchschnittliche Ladezeit einer Webseite etwa um die Hälfte. Durch die Einstellung „I´m Under Attack Mode“ („Ich werde angegriffen“-Modus) können laut Cloudflare weitere Angriffe abgeschwächt werden, indem eine JavaScript-Rechenaufgabe angezeigt wird, die man lösen muss, bevor ein User auf eine Webseite zugreifen kann. Insgesamt wird dadurch unsere Webseite deutlich leistungsstärker und weniger anfällig auf Spam oder andere Angriffe.

Welche Daten werden von Cloudflare gespeichert?

Cloudflare leitet im Allgemeinen nur jene Daten weiter, die von Webseitenbetreibern gesteuert werden. Die Inhalte werden also nicht von Cloudflare bestimmt, sondern immer vom Webseitenbetreiber selbst. Zudem erfasst Cloudflare unter Umständen bestimmte Informationen zur Nutzung unserer Webseite und verarbeitet Daten, die von uns versendet werden oder für die Cloudflare entsprechende Anweisungen erhalten hat. In den meisten Fällen erhält Cloudflare Daten wie IP-Adresse, Kontakt- und Protokollinfos, Sicherheitsfingerabdrücke und Leistungsdaten für Webseiten. Protokolldaten helfen Cloudflare beispielsweise dabei, neue Bedrohungen zu erkennen. So kann Cloudflare einen hohen Sicherheitsschutz für unsere Webseite gewährleisten. Cloudflare verarbeitet diese Daten im Rahmen der Services unter Einhaltung der geltenden Gesetze. Dazu zählt natürlich auch die Datenschutzgrundverordnung (DSGVO).

Aus Sicherheitsgründen verwendet Cloudflare auch ein Cookie. Das Cookie (__cfduid) wird eingesetzt, um einzelne User hinter einer gemeinsam genutzten IP-Adresse zu identifizieren und Sicherheitseinstellungen für jeden einzelnen User anzuwenden. Sehr nützlich wird dieses Cookie beispielsweise, wenn Sie unsere Webseite aus einem Lokal benutzen, in dem sich eine Reihe infizierter Computer befinden. Wenn aber Ihr Computer vertrauenswürdig ist, können wir dies anhand des Cookies erkennen. So können Sie, trotz infizierter PCs in Ihrem Umfeld, ungehindert und sorgenfrei durch unsere Webseite surfen. Wichtig zu wissen ist auch noch, dass dieses Cookie keine personenbezogenen Daten speichert. Dieses Cookie ist für die Cloudflare-Sicherheitsfunktionen unbedingt erforderlich und kann nicht deaktiviert werden.

Cookies von Cloudflare

Name: __cfduid
Wert: d798bf7df9c1ad5b7583eda5cc5e78111405871-3
Verwendungszweck: Sicherheitseinstellungen für jeden einzelnen Besucher
Ablaufdatum: nach einem Jahr

Cloudflare arbeitet auch mit Drittanbietern zusammen. Diese dürfen personenbezogene Daten nur unter Anweisung der Firma Cloudflare und in Übereinstimmung mit den Datenschutzrichtlinien und anderer Vertraulichkeits- und Sicherheitsmaßnahmen verarbeiten. Ohne explizite Einwilligung von uns gibt Cloudflare keine personenbezogenen Daten weiter.

Wie lange und wo werden die Daten gespeichert?

Cloudflare speichert Ihre Informationen hauptsächlich in den USA und im Europäischen Wirtschaftsraum. Cloudflare kann die oben beschriebenen Informationen aus der ganzen Welt übertragen und darauf zugreifen. Im Allgemeinen speichert Cloudflare Daten auf User-Ebene für Domains in den Versionen Free, Pro und Business für weniger als 24 Stunden. Für Enterprise Domains, die Cloudflare Logs (früher Enterprise LogShare oder ELS) aktiviert haben, können die Daten bis zu 7 Tage gespeichert werden. Wenn allerdings IP-Adressen bei Cloudflare Sicherheitswarnungen auslösen, kann es zu Ausnahmen der oben angeführten Speicherungsdauer kommen.

Wie kann ich meine Daten löschen bzw. die Datenspeicherung verhindern?

Cloudflare bewahrt Daten-Protokolle nur solange wie nötig auf und diese Daten werden auch in den meisten Fällen innerhalb von 24 Stunden wieder gelöscht. Cloudflare speichert auch keine personenbezogenen Daten, wie beispielsweise Ihre IP-Adresse. Es gibt allerdings Informationen, die Cloudflare als Teil seiner permanenten Protokolle auf unbestimmte Zeit speichert, um so die Gesamtleistung von Cloudflare Resolver zu verbessern und etwaige Sicherheitsrisiken zu erkennen. Welche permanenten Protokolle genau gespeichert werden, können Sie auf https://www.cloudflare.com/application/privacypolicy/ nachlesen. Alle Daten, die Cloudflare sammelt (temporär oder permanent), werden von allen personenbezogenen Daten bereinigt. Alle permanenten Protokolle werden zudem von Cloudflare anonymisiert.

Cloudflare geht in ihrer Datenschutzerklärung darauf ein, dass sie für die Inhalte, die sie erhalten nicht verantwortlich sind. Wenn Sie beispielsweise bei Cloudflare anfragen, ob sie Ihre Inhalte aktualisieren oder löschen können, verweist Cloudflare grundsätzlich auf uns als Webseitenbetreiber.

eKomi Datenschutzerklärung

Wir verwenden auf unserer Website Technologien der deutschen Softwarefirma eKomi Ltd., Zimmerstraße 11, 10969 Berlin, Deutschland. Das Unternehmen bietet ein Online-Bewertungstool, das uns dabei hilft, unsere Services stets zu verbessern. Damit dieses Bewertungssystem funktioniert, haben wir die eKomi-Software (JavaScript-Code) in unsere Website eingebunden. Durch die Verwendung dieses Tools werden Daten an eKomi übertragen, verarbeitet und gespeichert. In dieser Datenschutzerklärung zeigen wir Ihnen um welche Daten es sich handelt, wie sie gespeichert werden und wie Sie die Datenverarbeitung und Datenspeicherung unterbinden können.

Was ist eKomi?

eKomi ist ein Software-Anbieter für ein Online-Bewertungssystem. Nachdem Sie bei uns ein Produkt bestellt haben oder eine Dienstleistung in Anspruch genommen haben, erhalten Sie eine E-Mail, mit der Bitte eine anonyme Bewertung abzugeben. Sie werden dafür über einen Link auf eine Bewertungsseite weitergeleitet und können dort einfach und schnell eine Bewertung mit dem 5-Sternesystem abgeben und einen kleinen Text dazuschreiben. eKomi bietet zudem auch eine Schnittstelle zu Social-Media-Kanälen. So kann das Feedback von Kunden noch mehr Menschen zur Verfügung gestellt werden.

Warum verwenden wir eKomi auf unserer Website?

eKomi sammelt also Bewertungen für uns und unsere Produkte und wir können diese dann auf unserer Website präsentieren. Dafür koppelt eKomi eine Technologie an unsere Website bzw. unseren Onlineshop. Durch Ihre Bewertungen bekommen wir schnell entsprechendes Feedback und können unsere Produkte und/oder Dienstleistungen viel effizienter verbessern. Die Bewertungen dienen uns folglich einerseits zur Optimierung unserer Angebote und andererseits geben sie Ihnen und all unseren zukünftigen Kunden einen guten Überblick über die Qualität unserer Produkte und Leistungen.

Welche Daten werden von eKomi gespeichert?

Um diesen Bewertungsdienst anzubieten, werden eKomi auch personenbezogene Daten wie E-Mail-Adresse, IP-Adresse oder Ihr Name zur Verfügung gestellt. Es werden auch nach Abgabe Ihre Bewertung Bestellinformationen wie etwa die Bestellnummer eines erworbenen Artikels an eKomi weitergeleitet. Das ist notwendig, damit sichergestellt werden kann, dass Bewertungen auch nur von Menschen gemacht werden, die unsere Produkte auch wirklich gekauft haben. Nur so können Kunden authentisch Ihre Erfahrungen über unsere Produkte teilen. Jede Kundenbewertung erscheint auch anonymisiert auf eKomi.

Ihre E-Mail-Adresse übermitteln wir an eKomi, damit das Unternehmen Ihnen eine Mail nach dem Erwerb eines unserer Produkte senden kann. Um diese Bewertung auch auf unserer Website einzubinden, erhält eKomi zudem die Information, dass Sie unsere Website aufgerufen haben. Wenn Sie sich für eine Bewertung entscheiden, erhält eKomi die darin angegebenen Informationen. Für alle personenbezogenen Daten, die Sie eKomi zur Verfügung stellen, ist eKomi verantwortlich.

Unser Test hat ergeben, dass eKomi teilweise folgende Drittanbieter-Cookies (Google Analytics) verwendet:

Name: _ga
Wert: GA1.2.489076422.1596109839111405871-3
Verwendungszweck: Standardmäßig verwendet analytics.js das Cookie _ga, um die User-ID zu speichern. Grundsätzlich dient es zur Unterscheidung der Websitebesucher.
Ablaufdatum: nach zwei Jahren

Name: _gat
Wert: 1
Verwendungszweck: Dieses Cookie wird zur Drosselung der Anforderungsrate verwendet, wodurch die Datenerfassung auf Websites mit hohem Datenaufkommen eingeschränkt wird.
Ablaufdatum: nach Sitzungsende

Name: _gid
Wert: GA1.2.499030530.1596109839111405871-8
Verwendungszweck: Dieses Cookie speichert das Userverhalten auf einer Website.
Ablaufdatum: nach zwei Tagen

Wie lange und wo werden die Daten gespeichert?

Personenbezogene Daten, die in einer Bewertung genannt werden, werden von Mitarbeitern des eKomi-Teams unkenntlich gemacht und sind folglich nur noch für Systemadministratoren und Teamleiter des Kunden-Feedback-Management-Teams sichtbar. Alle erhobenen Daten werden auf den Servern von eKomi gespeichert. Die Daten werden nach Auftragsende vollständig gelöscht. Personenbezogene Daten werden auch dann gelöscht, wenn sie für den Zweck nicht mehr nötig sind oder Sie die Einwilligung zur Datenverarbeitung widerrufen bzw. verlangen, Ihre Daten zu löschen.

Wie kann ich meine Daten löschen bzw. die Datenspeicherung verhindern?

Nach dem Datenschutzrecht der Europäischen Union haben Sie das Recht, Auskunft über Ihre Daten zu erhalten, sie zu aktualisieren, zu löschen oder einzuschränken. Wenn Sie nicht wollen, dass eKomi Cookies in Ihrem Browser setzt, können Sie dies auch in Ihren Browser-Einstellungen unterbinden. Dort kann man Cookies verwalten, deaktivieren oder löschen. Im Folgenden finden Sie für die gängigsten Browser die entsprechenden Anleitungen:

Safari: Verwalten von Cookies und Websitedaten mit Safari

Damit wir Ihnen unsere einzelnen Webseiten schnell und auf allen unterschiedlichen Geräten einwandfrei ausliefern können, verwenden wir die Open-Source-Dienste von jsdelivr.com des polnischen Software-Unternehmens ProspectOne, Królewska 65A/1, 30-081, Kraków, Polen.

Dabei handelt es sich um ein Content Delivery Network (CDN). Das ist ein Netzwerk regional verteilter Server, die über das Internet verbunden sind. Dadurch können Inhalte, speziell große Dateien, auch bei großen Lastspitzen schnell und optimal ausgeliefert werden.

jsDelivr ist so aufgebaut, dass JavaScript-Bibliotheken heruntergeladen werden können, die auf npm- und Github-Servern gehostet werden. Es können aber auch WordPress-Plugins geladen werden, sofern diese auf WordPress.org gehostet werden. Um diesen Dienst bereitstellen zu können, kann Ihr Browser personenbezogene Daten an jsdelivr.com senden. jsDelivr kann somit Userdaten wie IP-Adresse, Browsertyp, Browserversion, welche Webseite geladen wird oder Uhrzeit und Datum des Seitenbesuchs sammeln und speichern. In der Datenschutzerklärung von jsdelivr.com wird ausdrücklich darauf hingewiesen, dass das Unternehmen keine Cookies oder andere Tracking-Services verwendet.

Wenn Sie diese Datenübertragung unterbinden wollen, können Sie einen JavaScript-Blocker (siehe beispielsweise https://noscript.net/) installieren. Bitte beachten Sie aber, dass dadurch die Website nicht mehr das gewohnte Service (wie etwa schnelle Ladegeschwindigkeit) bieten kann.

Nähere Informationen zur Datenverarbeitung durch den Softwaredienst jsDelivr finden Sie in der Datenschutzerklärung des Unternehmens unter https://www.jsdelivr.com/privacy-policy-jsdelivr-net.

BootstrapCDN Datenschutzerklärung

BootstrapCDN funktioniert so, dass sogenannte JavaScript-Bibliotheken an Ihren Browser ausgeliefert werden. Lädt nun Ihr Browser eine Datei vom BootstrapCDN herunter, wird Ihre IP-Adresse während der Verbindung zum Bootstrap-CDN-Server an das Unternehmen StockPath übermittelt.

StackPath erwähnt auch in der hauseigenen Datenschutzerklärung, dass das Unternehmen aggregierte und anonymisierte Daten von diversen Diensten (wie BootstrapCDN) für die Erweiterung der Sicherung und für andere StackPath-Dienste und Clients verwenden. All diese Daten können aber keine Person identifizieren.
