Newsletter
We use the newsletter to inform you about us and our offers.
If you would like to receive the newsletter, we require a valid e-mail address from you as well as information that allows us to verify that you are the owner of the e-mail address provided or that the owner agrees to receive the newsletter. If available, you can voluntarily enter your name and title in order to personalize the newsletter mailing. This data is only used for sending the newsletter and is not passed on to third parties.
To confirm ownership of the e-mail address, an e-mail is sent with a link to activate the subscription (double opt-in). When you subscribe to the newsletter, we store your IP address and the date of subscription for the statutory limitation period, starting from the date of unsubscription. This storage serves as proof in the event that a third party misuses an email address and registers to receive the newsletter without the knowledge of the authorized party. Opening and clicking actions are recorded and evaluated by our IT systems via individualized links.
You can deactivate the analysis at any time in each newsletter. You can also revoke your consent to the processing of the data, the e-mail address and its use for sending the newsletter at any time. The revocation can be made via a link in the newsletters themselves, or by sending a message to the contact options above and below.
The processing and implementation of the newsletter is carried out for a specific purpose on our behalf by Flebbe Services GmbH, which acts as a service provider for the group of companies.
The legal basis for this is Art. 6 para. 1 lit a. GDPR.
Social media and other services
We use services from the following external providers on this website. Depending on the consent you have given, the data collected there may be transferred by the companies mentioned to countries outside the European Union and may also be merged with other data there. An agreement (DPF = Data Privacy Framework) and an adequacy decision is in force between the EU and the USA, which declares the transfer of data to be permissible under defined circumstances. Among other things, the receiving US companies must be named on a certification list. All of the US companies listed below are certified in this sense. The legal basis is generally the consent you may have given via the Consent Manager in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 a GDPR. In the case of services that deviate from this, the legal basis is expressly stated. In the case of requests for information and the assertion of user rights, we would like to point out that these can be asserted most effectively with the respective providers. Only the providers have access to the relevant user data and can take appropriate measures directly and provide specific information.
For a detailed description of the respective processing and the possibilities of objection, please refer to the following information from the providers.
Google Marketing Platform (formerly DoubleClick by Google) & Google Ads
This website also uses Google's online marketing tool Campaign Manager and Google Ads. Campaign Manager and Google Ads use cookies to display ads that are relevant to users, to improve campaign performance reports or to prevent a user from seeing the same ads more than once. Google uses a cookie ID to record which ads are displayed in which browser and can thus prevent them from being displayed more than once. In addition, Campaign Manager and Google Ads can use cookie IDs to record so-called conversions that are related to ad requests. This is the case, for example, when a user sees a Campaign Manager or Google Ads ad and later visits the advertiser's website with the same browser and makes a purchase there.
Due to the marketing tools used, your browser automatically establishes a direct connection with the Google server. We have no influence on the scope and further use of the data collected by Google through the use of this tool and therefore inform you according to our level of knowledge: Through the integration of Campaign Manager and Google Ads, Google receives the information that you have accessed the corresponding part of our website or clicked on an advertisement from us. If you are registered with a Google service, Google can assign the visit to your account. Even if you are not registered with Google or have not logged in, it is possible that the provider will find out your IP address and store it.
In addition, the Campaign Manager (DoubleClick Floodlight) cookies used, as well as Google Ads conversion and Google Ads remarketing cookies, enable us to understand whether you perform certain actions on our website after you have accessed or clicked on one of our display/video ads on Google or on another platform via Campaign Manager or Google Ads (conversion tracking). Campaign Manager and Google Ads use these cookies to understand the content with which you have interacted on our websites in order to be able to send you targeted advertising later.
The legal basis for this is Art. 6 para. 1 lit a. GDPR.
You can configure your settings according to your wishes at any time in the Consent Manager and, for example, refuse to accept cookies.
However, we would like to point out that you may then not be able to use all the functions of this website.
