Our legitimate interest in being able to offer you tailor-made products, informing you about our products, innovations and quality features, as well as constantly improving our services and products, and thereby also increasing our sales, is the legal basis for processing for the purpose of web / app analysis. For web analysis services, see point 9.

You may object to the processing on the basis of a legitimate interest at any time (see section 11).
In the event that the data is processed for a purpose other than that specified in the data collection, a compatibility check will be carried out in accordance with Art. 6 (4) GDPR. Further processing is only permitted if the original purpose is compatible with the new purpose or permitted on the basis of a separate legal basis. Recognized compatible purposes are u. a. the assertion, exercise or defense of civil law claims unless there is overriding interest of the data subject.

You can deactivate the individual analysis services at any time for the future. Below you can find details about the analysis services we use:
Google Analytics
We have integrated Google Analytics (with anonymization feature). Google Analytics is a web analytics service. Web analytics is the collection, collection and analysis of data about the behavior of visitors to websites. Among other things, a web analytics service collects information about which web site an affected person came to a web site (called referrers), which subpages of the web site were accessed, or how often and for what length of time a subpage was viewed. Web analytics is used primarily to optimize a website and cost-benefit analysis of Internet advertising.
The operating company of the Google Analytics component is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheater Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA.
We use the addition “_gat._anonymizeIp” for web analysis via Google Analytics. This addendum will truncate and anonymise Google’s IP address for the data subject if the access to our websites is from a Member State of the European Union or another state party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area.
The purpose of the Google Analytics component is to analyze visitor flows on our website. Among other things, Google uses the data and information obtained to evaluate the use of our website, to compile for us online reports that show the activities on our websites, and to provide other services related to the use of our website.
Google Analytics uses a cookie on the information technology system of the person concerned. What cookies are, has already been explained above. By using the cookie, Google will be able to analyze the use of our website. Each time you visit any of the pages on this site operated by us and incorporating a Google Analytics component, the Internet browser on the subject’s information technology system is automatically prompted by the respective Google Analytics component for purposes submit the online analysis to Google. As part of this technical process, Google will be aware of personal data, such as the IP address of the person concerned, which serve, among other things, Google to track the origin of the visitors and clicks, and subsequently make commission settlements possible.
The cookie stores personally identifiable information, such as access time, the location from which access was made and the frequency of site visits by the data subject. Each time you visit our websites, your personal information, including the IP address of the Internet connection used by the individual, is transferred to Google in the United States of America. This personal information is stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may transfer such personal data collected through the technical process to third parties.
The affected person can prevent the setting of cookies by our website, as already described above, at any time by means of a corresponding setting of the Internet browser used and thus permanently contradict the setting of cookies. Such a setting of the Internet browser used would also prevent Google from setting a cookie on the information technology system of the person concerned. In addition, a cookie already set by Google Analytics can be deleted at any time via the Internet browser or other software programs.
Furthermore, the data subject has the possibility of objecting to and preventing the collection of the data generated by Google Analytics for the use of this website as well as the processing of this data by Google. For this the person concerned has to add a browser add-on under the link http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de
download and install. This browser add-on informs Google Analytics via JavaScript that no data and information about website visits may be transmitted to Google Analytics. The installation of the browser add-on is considered by Google as a contradiction. If the data subject’s information technology system is later deleted, formatted or reinstalled, the data subject must re-install the browser add-on to disable Google Analytics. If the browser add-on is uninstalled or disabled by the data subject or any other person within their sphere of control, it is possible to reinstall or reactivate the browser add-on.
Additional information and Google’s privacy policy can be found at https://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy/ and http://www.google.com/analytics/terms/en.html. Google Analytics is explained in more detail at https://www.google.com/intl/de_de/analytics/.

Weather and maps, job boards, real estate, currency calculators and sweepstakes. In doing so, we do not collect any personal data nor do we transfer these to third-party providers.

We have no influence on their data processing operations nor are we aware of the full scope of the data collection, the purposes and the retention periods. However, this is usually just the IP address of the users, without which the third-party provider could not send the embedded content to the respective user’s browser. The IP address is therefore required for the presentation of this content.
