Privacy Policy

We are delighted that you are interested in our company. Data protection is a particularly high priority for the management of tsar Gesundheitsbildung KG. It is generally possible to use the websites of tsar Gesundheitsbildung KG without providing any personal data. However, if a data subject wishes to use specific services of our company via our website, it may be necessary to process personal data. If the processing of personal data is necessary and there is no legal basis for such processing, we generally obtain the consent of the data subject.

The processing of personal data, such as the name, address, email address, or telephone number of a data subject, is always carried out in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation and in compliance with the country-specific data protection regulations applicable to tsar Gesundheitsbildung KG. Through this privacy policy, our company wishes to inform the public about the nature, scope, and purpose of the personal data we collect, use, and process. Furthermore, this privacy policy informs data subjects about their rights.

As the controller, tsar Gesundheitsbildung KG has implemented numerous technical and organizational measures to ensure the most complete protection possible for the personal data processed via this website. Nevertheless, Internet-based data transmissions can generally have security gaps, so that absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, every data subject is free to transmit personal data to us by alternative means, for example by telephone.

Definitions

The privacy policy of tsar Gesundheitsbildung KG is based on the terminology used by the European legislators and regulators when enacting the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Our privacy policy is intended to be easy to read and understand for the general public as well as for our customers and business partners. To ensure this, we would like to explain the terminology used in advance.

We use the following terms in this privacy policy, among others:

a) Personal data

Personal data is any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (hereinafter referred to as "data subject"). A natural person is considered identifiable if they can be identified directly or indirectly, in particular by association with an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier, or one or more special characteristics that express the physical, physiological, genetic, psychological, economic, cultural, or social identity of that natural person.

b) data subject

A data subject is any identified or identifiable natural person whose personal data is processed by the controller.

c) Processing

Processing means any operation or set of operations which is performed on personal data, whether or not by automated means, such as collection, recording, organization, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, distribution, or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure, or destruction.

d) Restriction of processing

Restriction of processing is the marking of stored personal data with the aim of limiting its future processing.

e) Profiling

Profiling is any form of automated processing of personal data consisting of the use of such personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to analyze or predict aspects concerning that natural person's performance at work, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behavior, location, or movements.

f) Pseudonymization

Pseudonymization is the processing of personal data in such a manner that the personal data can no longer be attributed to a specific data subject without the use of additional information, provided that such additional information is kept separately and is subject to technical and organizational measures to ensure that the personal data is not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.

g) Controller or processor

The controller or data controller is the natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or other body that, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data. Where the purposes and means of such processing are determined by Union or Member State law, the controller or the specific criteria for its nomination may be provided for by Union or Member State law.

h) Processors

A processor is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or other body that processes personal data on behalf of the controller.

i) Recipient

Recipient means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or other body to which personal data are disclosed, whether a third party or not. However, public authorities which may receive personal data in the framework of a particular inquiry in accordance with Union or Member State law shall not be regarded as recipients.

j) Third party

A third party is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or other body other than the data subject, the controller, the processor, and the persons who, under the direct authority of the controller or processor, are authorized to process personal data.

k) Consent

Consent is any freely given, specific, informed, and unambiguous indication of the data subject's wishes by which he or she, by a statement or by a clear affirmative action, signifies agreement to the processing of personal data relating to him or her.

The websites of tsar Gesundheitsbildung KG use cookies. Cookies are text files that are stored on a computer system via an Internet browser.

Numerous websites and servers use cookies. Many cookies contain a so-called cookie ID. A cookie ID is a unique identifier for the cookie. It consists of a string of characters that can be used to assign websites and servers to the specific Internet browser in which the cookie was stored. This enables the websites and servers visited to distinguish the individual browser of the person concerned from other Internet browsers that contain other cookies. A specific Internet browser can be recognized and identified via the unique cookie ID.

By using cookies, tsar Gesundheitsbildung KG can provide users of this website with more user-friendly services that would not be possible without the use of cookies.

Cookies enable us to optimize the information and offers on our website for the benefit of the user. As already mentioned, cookies enable us to recognize users of our website. The purpose of this recognition is to make it easier for users to use our website. For example, users of a website that uses cookies do not have to re-enter their login details each time they visit the website, as this is done by the website and the cookie stored on the user's computer system. Another example is the cookie used for a shopping cart in an online shop. The online shop uses a cookie to remember the items that a customer has placed in their virtual shopping cart.

The data subject can prevent the setting of cookies by our website at any time by means of a corresponding setting in the Internet browser used and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Furthermore, cookies that have already been set can be deleted at any time via an Internet browser or other software programs. This is possible in all common Internet browsers. If the data subject deactivates the setting of cookies in the Internet browser used, not all functions of our website may be fully usable.

Collection of general data and information

The website of tsar Gesundheitsbildung KG collects a range of general data and information each time the website is accessed by a data subject or an automated system. This general data and information is stored in the server log files. The following may be recorded: (1) the browser types and versions used, (2) the operating system used by the accessing system, (3) the website from which an accessing system reaches our website (so-called referrer), (4) the sub-websites that are accessed via an accessing system on our website, (5) the date and time of access to the website, (6) an Internet Protocol address (IP address), (7) the Internet service provider of the accessing system, and (8) other similar data and information that serves to avert danger in the event of attacks on our information technology systems.

When using this general data and information, tsar Gesundheitsbildung KG does not draw any conclusions about the data subject. Rather, this information is required in order to (1) deliver the content of our website correctly, (2) optimize the content of our website and the advertising for it, (3) ensure the long-term functionality of our information technology systems and the technology of our website, and (4) provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for criminal prosecution in the event of a cyber attack. This anonymously collected data and information is therefore evaluated by tsar Gesundheitsbildung KG for statistical purposes and with the aim of increasing data protection and data security in our company in order to ultimately ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data we process. The anonymous data in the server log files is stored separately from all personal data provided by a data subject.

Registration on our website

The data subject has the option of registering on the website of the controller by providing personal data. The personal data transmitted to the controller is determined by the respective input mask used for registration. The personal data entered by the data subject is collected and stored exclusively for internal use by the controller and for its own purposes. The controller may arrange for the data to be passed on to one or more processors, for example a parcel service provider, who will also use the personal data exclusively for internal use attributable to the controller.

By registering on the website of the controller, the IP address assigned by the Internet service provider (ISP) of the data subject, the date, and the time of registration are also stored. This data is stored because it is the only way to prevent misuse of our services and, if necessary, to enable criminal offenses to be investigated. In this respect, the storage of this data is necessary to protect the data controller. This data will not be passed on to third parties unless there is a legal obligation to do so or the disclosure serves the purpose of criminal prosecution.

The registration of the data subject, who voluntarily provides personal data, enables the controller to offer the data subject content or services that, due to their nature, can only be offered to registered users. Registered persons are free to change the personal data provided during registration at any time or to have it completely deleted from the controller's database.

The controller shall provide each data subject with information about the personal data stored about them at any time upon request. Furthermore, the controller shall correct or delete personal data at the request or upon notification of the data subject, provided that this does not conflict with any legal retention obligations. All employees of the controller are available to the data subject as contact persons in this regard.

Subscription to our newsletter

On the website of tsar Gesundheitsbildung KG, users are given the opportunity to subscribe to our company's newsletter. The personal data transmitted to the controller when ordering the newsletter is determined by the input mask used for this purpose.

tsar Gesundheitsbildung KG informs its customers and business partners at regular intervals about the company's offers by means of a newsletter. The newsletter of our company can only be received by the data subject if (1) the data subject has a valid email address and (2) the data subject registers for the newsletter. For legal reasons, a confirmation email is sent to the email address entered by the data subject for the first time for the newsletter dispatch using the double opt-in procedure. This confirmation email serves to verify that the owner of the email address has authorized the receipt of the newsletter as the data subject.

When registering for the newsletter, we also store the IP address assigned by the Internet service provider (ISP) to the computer system used by the data subject at the time of registration, as well as the date and time of registration. The collection of this data is necessary in order to be able to trace any (possible) misuse of the email address of a data subject at a later date and therefore serves to provide legal protection for the controller.

The personal data collected when registering for the newsletter will be used exclusively for sending our newsletter. Furthermore, subscribers to the newsletter may be informed by email if this is necessary for the operation of the newsletter service or for registration, as may be the case in the event of changes to the newsletter offer or changes to the technical conditions. The personal data collected as part of the newsletter service will not be passed on to third parties. The data subject can unsubscribe from our newsletter at any time. The consent to the storage of personal data that the data subject has given us for the purpose of sending the newsletter can be revoked at any time. For the purpose of revoking consent, a corresponding link is provided in each newsletter. Furthermore, it is also possible to unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time directly on the website of the controller or to inform the controller in another way.

Newsletter tracking

The newsletters from tsar Gesundheitsbildung KG contain so-called tracking pixels. A tracking pixel is a miniature graphic that is embedded in emails sent in HTML format to enable log file recording and analysis. This allows a statistical evaluation of the success or failure of online marketing campaigns to be carried out. Using the embedded tracking pixel, tsar Gesundheitsbildung KG can determine whether and when an email was opened by a data subject and which links in the email were clicked on by the data subject.

Such personal data collected via the tracking pixels contained in the newsletters is stored and evaluated by the controller in order to optimize the newsletter dispatch and to better tailor the content of future newsletters to the interests of the data subject. This personal data is not passed on to third parties. Data subjects are entitled to revoke their separate declaration of consent given via the double opt-in procedure at any time. After revocation, this personal data will be deleted by the controller. Tsar Gesundheitsbildung KG automatically interprets unsubscribing from the newsletter as revocation.

Contact option via the website

Due to legal requirements, the website of tsar Gesundheitsbildung KG contains information that enables quick electronic contact with our company and direct communication with us, which also includes a general address for so-called electronic mail (e-mail address). If a data subject contacts the controller by email or via a contact form, the personal data transmitted by the data subject is automatically stored. Such personal data transmitted voluntarily by a data subject to the controller is stored for the purposes of processing or contacting the data subject. This personal data is not passed on to third parties.

Comment function in the blog on the website

Tsar Gesundheitsbildung KG offers users the opportunity to leave individual comments on individual blog posts on a blog located on the website of the data controller. A blog is a portal on a website, usually publicly accessible, where one or more people, known as bloggers or web bloggers, can post articles or write down their thoughts in so-called blog posts. The blog posts can usually be commented on by third parties.

If a data subject leaves a comment on the blog published on this website, in addition to the comments left by the data subject, information about the time the comment was entered and the user name (pseudonym) chosen by the data subject will also be stored and published. Furthermore, the IP address assigned by the data subject's Internet service provider (ISP) is also logged. This IP address is stored for security reasons and in the event that the data subject violates the rights of third parties or posts illegal content in a comment. The storage of this personal data is therefore in the interest of the controller, so that the controller can exculpate themselves in the event of a legal violation. This collected personal data will not be passed on to third parties unless such disclosure is required by law or serves the legal defense of the controller.

Subscription to comments on the blog on the website

Comments posted on the tsar Gesundheitsbildung KG blog can generally be subscribed to by third parties. In particular, commenters have the option of subscribing to comments posted after their own comments on a specific blog post.

If a data subject chooses to subscribe to comments, the controller sends an automatic confirmation email to verify, using a double opt-in procedure, that the owner of the specified email address has actually chosen this option. The option to subscribe to comments can be terminated at any time.

Routine deletion and blocking of personal data

The controller processes and stores personal data of the data subject only for the period necessary to achieve the purpose of storage or as provided for by the European legislator or another legislator in laws or regulations to which the controller is subject.

If the purpose for storage no longer applies or if a storage period prescribed by European directives and regulations or other competent legislators expires, personal data is routinely blocked or deleted in accordance with legal requirements.

Rights of the data subject

a) Right to confirmation

the processing purposes

the categories of personal data that are processed

Furthermore, the data subject has the right to obtain information about whether personal data has been transferred to a third country or to an international organization. If this is the case, the data subject also has the right to obtain information about the appropriate safeguards relating to the transfer.

If a data subject wishes to exercise this right of access, they may contact an employee of the controller at any time.

Furthermore, the data subject has the right to request the completion of incomplete personal data, including by means of a supplementary statement, taking into account the purposes of the processing.

If a data subject wishes to exercise this right to rectification, they may contact an employee of the controller at any time.

d) Right to erasure (right to be forgotten)

Any person affected by the processing of personal data has the right, granted by European directives and regulations, to request that the controller delete personal data concerning them without delay, provided that one of the following reasons applies and insofar as the processing is not necessary:

The personal data was collected for purposes or processed in other ways for which it is no longer necessary.

The data subject withdraws their consent on which the processing was based in accordance with Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR or Art. 9(2)(a) GDPR, and there is no other legal basis for the processing.

The data subject objects to the processing pursuant to Article 21(1) of the GDPR and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing, or the data subject objects to the processing pursuant to Article 21(2) of the GDPR.

The personal data was processed unlawfully.

The erasure of personal data is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation under Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject.

Personal data was collected in relation to information society services offered in accordance with Art. 8 (1) GDPR.

If one of the above reasons applies and a data subject wishes to have personal data stored by tsar Gesundheitsbildung KG deleted, they can contact an employee of the controller at any time. The employee of tsar Gesundheitsbildung KG will ensure that the deletion request is complied with immediately.

If the personal data has been made public by tsar Gesundheitsbildung KG and our company is obliged to delete the personal data as the controller in accordance with Art. 17 (1) GDPR, tsar Gesundheitsbildung KG shall take appropriate measures, taking into account the available technology and implementation costs, including technical measures, to inform other controllers processing the published personal data that the data subject has requested that these other controllers delete all links to this personal data or copies or replications of this personal data, unless processing is necessary. The employee of tsar Gesundheitsbildung KG will take the necessary steps in each individual case.

e) Right to restriction of processing

Any person affected by the processing of personal data has the right, granted by the European legislator, to request the controller to restrict processing if one of the following conditions applies:

The accuracy of the personal data is contested by the data subject for a period enabling the controller to verify the accuracy of the personal data.

The processing is unlawful, the data subject refuses to have the personal data deleted and instead requests the restriction of the use of the personal data.

The controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of processing, but the data subject needs it to assert, exercise, or defend legal claims.

The data subject has objected to the processing pursuant to Article 21(1) of the GDPR, and it is not yet clear whether the legitimate grounds of the controller override those of the data subject.

If one of the above conditions is met and a data subject wishes to request the restriction of personal data stored by tsar Gesundheitsbildung KG, they may contact an employee of the controller at any time. The employee of tsar Gesundheitsbildung KG will arrange for the restriction of processing.

f) Right to data portability

Any person affected by the processing of personal data has the right, granted by the European legislator, to receive the personal data concerning them, which they have provided to a controller, in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format. They also have the right to transmit this data to another controller without hindrance from the controller to whom the personal data was provided, provided that the processing is based on consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR or Art. 9(2)(a) GDPR or on a contract pursuant to Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR and the processing is carried out using automated means, unless the processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller.

Furthermore, when exercising their right to data portability pursuant to Art. 20(1) GDPR, the data subject has the right to have the personal data transmitted directly from one controller to another, where technically feasible and provided that this does not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others.

To assert their right to data portability, the data subject may contact a tsar Gesundheitsbildung KG employee at any time.

g) Right to object

Any person affected by the processing of personal data has the right, granted by the European legislator, to object at any time, on grounds relating to their particular situation, to the processing of personal data concerning them which is based on Article 6(1)(e) or (f) of the GDPR. This also applies to profiling based on these provisions.

In the event of an objection, tsar Gesundheitsbildung KG will no longer process the personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that override the interests, rights, and freedoms of the data subject, or the processing serves to assert, exercise, or defend legal claims.

If tsar Gesundheitsbildung KG processes personal data for the purpose of direct marketing, the data subject has the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data for the purpose of such marketing. This also applies to profiling insofar as it is related to such direct marketing. If the data subject objects to tsar Gesundheitsbildung KG processing their data for direct marketing purposes, tsar Gesundheitsbildung KG will no longer process the personal data for these purposes.

In addition, the data subject has the right to object, on grounds relating to their particular situation, to the processing of personal data concerning them carried out by tsar Gesundheitsbildung KG for scientific or historical research purposes or for statistical purposes in accordance with Article 89(1) of the GDPR, unless such processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest.

To exercise the right to object, the data subject may contact any employee of tsar Gesundheitsbildung KG or another employee directly. Furthermore, the data subject is free to exercise their right to object in relation to the use of information society services, notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC, by means of automated procedures using technical specifications.

h) Automated individual decision-making, including profiling

Any person affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by European directives and regulations not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects concerning them or similarly significantly affects them, unless the decision (1) is not necessary for entering into, or performance of, a contract between the data subject and the controller, or (2) is authorized by Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject and which also lays down suitable measures to safeguard the data subject's rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, or (3) is based on the data subject's explicit consent.

If the decision (1) is necessary for entering into or performing a contract between the data subject and the controller, or (2) is it made with the explicit consent of the data subject, tsar Gesundheitsbildung KG shall take appropriate measures to safeguard the rights and freedoms and legitimate interests of the data subject, including at least the right to obtain human intervention on the part of the controller, to express their point of view and to contest the decision.

If the data subject wishes to assert rights relating to automated decisions, they may contact an employee of the controller at any time.

i) Right to revoke consent under data protection law

Every person affected by the processing of personal data has the right, granted by European directives and regulations, to revoke their consent to the processing of personal data at any time.

If the data subject wishes to exercise their right to withdraw consent, they may contact an employee of the controller at any time.

Data protection in job applications and during the application process

The controller collects and processes applicants' personal data for the purpose of handling the application process. Processing may also be carried out electronically. This is particularly the case if an applicant submits the relevant application documents to the controller electronically, for example by email or via a web form on the website. If the controller concludes an employment contract with an applicant, the data transmitted will be stored for the purpose of processing the employment relationship in compliance with the statutory provisions. If the controller does not conclude an employment contract with the applicant, the application documents will be automatically deleted two months after notification of the rejection decision, provided that no other legitimate interests of the controller prevent deletion. Other legitimate interests in this sense include, for example, the burden of proof in proceedings under the General Equal Treatment Act (AGG).

The controller has integrated components from the company AddThis on this website. AddThis is a so-called bookmarking provider. The service enables simplified bookmarking of websites via buttons. By hovering over the AddThis component with the mouse or clicking on it, a list of bookmarking and sharing services is displayed. AddThis is used on over 15 million websites, and according to the operating company, the buttons are displayed over 20 billion times a year.

AddThis is operated by Oracle Corporation, 10 Van de Graaff Drive, Burlington, MA 01803, USA.

Each time one of the individual pages of this website, which is operated by the controller and on which an AddThis component has been integrated, is accessed, the Internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject is automatically prompted by the respective AddThis component to download data from the website www.addthis.com. As part of this technical process, AddThis receives information about the visit and which specific individual page of this website is being used by the information technology system used by the data subject. Furthermore, AddThis obtains knowledge of the IP address assigned by the Internet service provider (ISP) to the computer system used by the data subject, the browser type, the browser language, the website accessed before our website, the date and time of the visit to our website. AddThis uses this data to create anonymous user profiles. The data and information transmitted to AddThis in this way enables AddThis itself, as well as companies affiliated with AddThis or its partner companies, to target visitors to the websites of the data controller with personalized and interest-based advertising.

AddThis displays personalized and interest-based advertising based on a cookie set by the company. This cookie analyzes the individual surfing behavior of the computer system used by the data subject. The cookie stores the visits to websites originating from the computer system.

As described above, the data subject can prevent the setting of cookies by our website at any time by means of a corresponding setting in the Internet browser used and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Such a setting in the Internet browser used would also prevent AddThis from setting a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. In addition, cookies already set by AddThis can be deleted at any time via an Internet browser or other software programs.

The data subject also has the option of permanently objecting to the processing of personal data by AddThis. To do so, the data subject must click on the opt-out button at http://www.addthis.com/privacy/opt-out, which sets an opt-out cookie. The opt-out cookie set by the objection is stored on the information technology system used by the data subject. If the cookies on the data subject's system are deleted after an objection, the data subject must call up the link again and set a new opt-out cookie.

However, setting the opt-out cookie may mean that the data controller's websites are no longer fully usable for the data subject.

The applicable data protection provisions of AddThis can be accessed at http://www.addthis.com/privacy/privacy-policy.

The controller has integrated components from Adobe into this website. Adobe Analytics (Omniture) or Adobe Marketing Cloud (hereinafter referred to as "Omniture") is a tool that enables more efficient online marketing and web analysis. Omniture is part of Adobe Marketing Cloud. Adobe Marketing Cloud enables real-time analysis of visitor traffic on websites. The real-time analyses include project reports and allow for ad hoc analysis of website visitors. Customer interactions are presented in such a way that the controller is provided with a better overview of the online activities of users of this website by displaying the data in simple and interactive dashboards and converting it into reports. This enables the controller to obtain information in real time and thus identify problems more quickly.

The operator of these services is Adobe Systems Software Ireland Limited, 4-6 Riverwalk, Citywest Business Campus, Dublin 24, Ireland.

Omniture places a cookie on the data subject's information technology system (cookies have already been explained above; please refer to the above for more information). The controller ensures through a server setting that the tracking data records transmitted to Adobe's data center are anonymized before geolocation. Anonymization is implemented by replacing the last part of the IP address. The controller has made settings on the server side so that the IP address of the data subject is anonymized independently of each other before being processed for geolocation and reach measurement. Adobe will use the data and information obtained via our website on behalf of the controller to evaluate the user behavior of the data subject. Furthermore, Adobe will use the data to create reports on user activities on our behalf and to provide other services for our company in connection with the use of our website. Adobe does not combine the IP address of the data subject with other personal data.

As described above, the data subject can prevent the setting of cookies by our website at any time by means of a corresponding setting in the Internet browser used and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Such a setting in the Internet browser used would also prevent Omniture from setting a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. In addition, cookies already set by Omniture can be deleted at any time via an Internet browser or other software programs.

Furthermore, the data subject has the option of objecting to and preventing the collection of data generated by the Adobe cookie relating to the use of this website and the processing of this data by Adobe. To do this, the data subject must click on the opt-out button at http://www.adobe.com/de/privacy/opt-out.html, which sets an opt-out cookie. The opt-out cookie set by the objection is stored on the information technology system used by the data subject. If the cookies on the data subject's system are deleted after an objection, the data subject must call up the link again and set a new opt-out cookie.

However, setting the opt-out cookie may mean that the data controller's websites are no longer fully usable for the data subject.

Adobe's current privacy policy can be found at http://www.adobe.com/de/privacy.html.

The controller has integrated components from the company Facebook on this website. Facebook is a social network.

A social network is an online social meeting place, an online community that generally allows users to communicate with each other and interact in a virtual space. A social network can serve as a platform for exchanging opinions and experiences or enable the Internet community to provide personal or company-related information. Facebook allows users of the social network to create private profiles, upload photos, and connect with others via friend requests, among other things.

The operating company of Facebook is Facebook, Inc., 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA. If a data subject lives outside the USA or Canada, the controller responsible for processing personal data is Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland.

Each time one of the individual pages of this website, which is operated by the controller and on which a Facebook component (Facebook plug-in) has been integrated, is accessed, the Internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject is automatically prompted by the respective Facebook component to download a representation of the corresponding Facebook component from Facebook. A complete overview of all Facebook plug-ins can be found at https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/?locale=de_DE. As part of this technical process, Facebook receives information about which specific subpage of our website is visited by the data subject.

If the data subject is logged into Facebook at the same time, Facebook recognizes which specific subpage of our website the data subject visits each time the data subject accesses our website and for the entire duration of their stay on our website. This information is collected by the Facebook component and assigned by Facebook to the respective Facebook account of the data subject. If the data subject clicks on one of the Facebook buttons integrated into our website, for example the "Like" button, or if the data subject posts a comment, Facebook assigns this information to the data subject's personal Facebook user account and stores this personal data.

Facebook receives information via the Facebook component that the data subject has visited our website whenever the data subject is logged into Facebook at the same time as visiting our website; this occurs regardless of whether the data subject clicks on the Facebook component or not. If the data subject does not want this information to be transmitted to Facebook, they can prevent the transmission by logging out of their Facebook account before visiting our website.

The data policy published by Facebook, which is available at https://de-de.facebook.com/about/privacy/, provides information about the collection, processing, and use of personal data by Facebook. It also explains the settings options Facebook offers to protect the privacy of the data subject. In addition, various applications are available that enable data transmission to Facebook to be suppressed. Such applications can be used by the data subject to suppress data transmission to Facebook.

The controller has integrated the Google Analytics component (with anonymization function) into this website. Google Analytics is a web analytics service. Web analytics is the collection, gathering, and analysis of data about the behavior of visitors to websites. A web analytics service collects, among other things, data about which website a data subject came to a website from (so-called referrer), which subpages of the website were accessed, or how often and for how long a subpage was viewed. Web analytics is mainly used to optimize a website and for cost-benefit analysis of internet advertising.

The operator of the Google Analytics component is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland.

The controller uses the addition "_gat._anonymizeIp" for web analysis via Google Analytics. This addition is used by Google to shorten and anonymize the IP address of the data subject's Internet connection when accessing our website from a Member State of the European Union or from another state party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area.

The purpose of the Google Analytics component is to analyze visitor traffic on our website. Google uses the data and information obtained to evaluate the use of our website, to compile online reports for us that show the activities on our website, and to provide other services related to the use of our website.

Google Analytics places a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. What cookies are has already been explained above. By placing the cookie, Google is enabled to analyze the use of our website. Each time one of the individual pages of this website, which is operated by the controller and on which a Google Analytics component has been integrated, is accessed, the Internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject is automatically prompted by the respective Google Analytics component to transmit data to Google for the purpose of online analysis. As part of this technical process, Google obtains knowledge of personal data, such as the IP address of the data subject, which Google uses, among other things, to track the origin of visitors and clicks and subsequently enable commission settlements.

The cookie stores personal information, such as the time of access, the location from which access originated, and the frequency of visits to our website by the data subject. Each time you visit our website, this personal data, including the IP address of the Internet connection used by the data subject, is transmitted to Google in the United States of America. This personal data is stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may pass on this personal data collected using technical procedures to third parties.

As described above, the data subject can prevent the setting of cookies by our website at any time by means of a corresponding setting in the Internet browser used and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Such a setting in the Internet browser used would also prevent Google from setting a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. 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 option of objecting to and preventing the collection of data generated by Google Analytics relating to the use of this website and the processing of this data by Google. To do this, the data subject must download and install a browser add-on from the link https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. This browser add-on informs Google Analytics via JavaScript that no data and information relating to visits to websites may be transmitted to Google Analytics. The installation of the browser add-on is considered by Google as an objection. If the data subject's information technology system is deleted, formatted, or reinstalled at a later date, the data subject must reinstall the browser add-on to deactivate Google Analytics. If the browser add-on is uninstalled or deactivated by the data subject or another person within their sphere of control, it is possible to reinstall or reactivate the browser add-on.

Further information and Google's applicable data protection provisions can be found at https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/ and at http://www.google.com/analytics/terms/de.html. Google Analytics is explained in more detail at this link : https://www.google.com/intl/de_de/analytics/.

Payment method: Privacy policy for Klarna as a payment method

The controller has integrated components from Klarna on this website. Klarna is an online payment service provider that enables purchases on account or flexible installment payments. Klarna also offers other services, such as buyer protection or identity and credit checks.

Klarna is operated by Klarna Bank AB, Sveavägen 46, 111 34 Stockholm, Sweden.

If the data subject selects either "purchase on account" or "installment purchase" as the payment option during the ordering process in our online shop, the data subject's data will be automatically transmitted to Klarna. By selecting one of these payment options, the data subject consents to the transfer of personal data required for processing the purchase on account or installment purchase or for identity and credit checks.

The personal data transmitted to Klarna usually includes first name, last name, address, date of birth, gender, email address, IP address, telephone number, mobile phone number, and other data necessary for processing an invoice or installment purchase. Personal data related to the respective order is also necessary for processing the purchase contract. In particular, there may be a mutual exchange of payment information, such as bank details, card number, expiration date, and CVC code, number of items, item number, data on goods and services, prices and taxes, information on previous purchasing behavior, or other information on the financial situation of the data subject.

The purpose of transferring the data is, in particular, to verify identity, administer payments, and prevent fraud. The controller will transfer personal data to Klarna in particular if there is a legitimate interest in the transfer. The personal data exchanged between Klarna and the controller will be transferred by Klarna to credit agencies. The purpose of this transfer is to verify identity and creditworthiness.

Klarna also shares personal data with affiliated companies (Klarna Group) and service providers or subcontractors, insofar as this is necessary to fulfill contractual obligations or the data is to be processed on behalf of Klarna.

Klarna collects and uses data and information about the data subject's previous payment behavior and probability values for their future behavior (known as scoring) to decide on the establishment, implementation, or termination of a contractual relationship. The scoring is calculated on the basis of scientifically recognized mathematical-statistical methods.

The data subject has the option of revoking their consent to the processing of personal data by Klarna at any time. Revocation does not affect personal data that must be processed, used, or transmitted for (contractual) payment processing.

Klarna's current privacy policy can be found at https://cdn.klarna.com/1.0/shared/content/policy/data/de_de/data_protection.pdf.

Legal basis for processing

Art. 6 I lit. a GDPR serves as the legal basis for our company for processing operations in which we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose. If the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party, as is the case, for example, with processing operations necessary for the delivery of goods or the provision of other services or consideration, the processing is based on Art. 6 I lit. b GDPR. The same applies to processing operations that are necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures, for example in cases of inquiries about our products or services. If our company is subject to a legal obligation that requires the processing of personal data, such as to fulfill tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6 I lit. c GDPR. In rare cases, the processing of personal data may be necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor to our premises were injured and their name, age, health insurance details, or other vital information had to be passed on to a doctor, hospital, or other third party. In this case, the processing would be based on Art. 6 I lit. d GDPR. Finally, processing operations could be based on Art. 6 I lit. f GDPR. This legal basis covers processing operations that are not covered by any of the above legal bases if the processing is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest of our company or a third party, provided that the interests, fundamental rights, and freedoms of the data subject do not prevail. Such processing operations are permitted to us in particular because they were specifically mentioned by the European legislator. In this respect, it took the view that a legitimate interest could be assumed if the data subject is a customer of the controller (Recital 47, sentence 2 GDPR).

Legitimate interests in the processing pursued by the controller or a third party.

If the processing of personal data is based on Article 6 I lit. f GDPR, our legitimate interest is the performance of our business activities for the benefit of all our employees and our shareholders.

Duration for which personal data is stored

The criterion for the duration of storage of personal data is the respective statutory retention period. After expiry of this period, the corresponding data is routinely deleted, provided that it is no longer required for the fulfillment of a contract or for initiating a contract.

Legal or contractual requirements for the provision of personal data; necessity for the conclusion of a contract; obligation of the data subject to provide personal data; possible consequences of failure to provide data

We would like to inform you that the provision of personal data is partly required by law (e.g., tax regulations) or may also result from contractual provisions (e.g., information about the contractual partner). In some cases, it may be necessary for a data subject to provide us with personal data in order to conclude a contract, which we must then process. For example, the data subject is obliged to provide us with personal data if our company concludes a contract with them. Failure to provide personal data would mean that the contract with the data subject could not be concluded. Before providing personal data, the data subject must contact one of our employees. Our employee will explain to the data subject on a case-by-case basis whether the provision of personal data is required by law or contract or is necessary for the conclusion of the contract, whether there is an obligation to provide the personal data, and what the consequences of not providing the personal data would be.

Existence of automated decision-making

As a responsible company, we refrain from automated decision-making or profiling.
