Data protection is of particularly high priority for the management of Wpress Group Ltd. The use of the Wpress Group Ltd websites at wpressprofis.de is generally possible without providing any personal data. However, if a data subject wishes to use special services of our company via our website, the processing of personal data could become necessary. If the processing of personal data is necessary and there is no statutory basis for such processing, we generally obtain the consent of the data subject.<\/p><p>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 provisions applicable to Wpress Group Ltd. By means of this privacy policy, our company would like to inform the public about the nature, scope and purpose of the personal data we collect, use and process. Furthermore, data subjects are informed of the rights to which they are entitled by means of this privacy policy.<\/p><p>As the controller, Wpress Group Ltd wpressprofis.de has implemented numerous technical and organisational measures to ensure the most complete protection possible of personal data processed through this website. However, internet-based data transmissions may in principle have security gaps, so absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, every data subject is free to transfer personal data to us by alternative means, e.g. by telephone.<\/p><h4>1. Definitions<\/h4><p>The privacy policy of Wpress Group Ltd wpressprofis.de is based on the terms used by the European legislator for the adoption of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Our privacy policy should 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.<\/p><p>In this privacy policy we use, among others, the following terms:<\/p><h4>a)    Personal data<\/h4><p>Personal data means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (hereinafter \u201cdata subject\u201d). An identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person.<\/p><h4>b)    Data subject<\/h4><p>A data subject is any identified or identifiable natural person whose personal data is processed by the controller responsible for the processing.<\/p><h4>c)    Processing<\/h4><p>Processing is any operation or set of operations which is performed on personal data or on sets of personal data, whether or not by automated means, such as collection, recording, organisation, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure or destruction.<\/p><h4>d)    Restriction of processing<\/h4><p>Restriction of processing is the marking of stored personal data with the aim of limiting their processing in the future.<\/p><h4>e)    Profiling<\/h4><p>Profiling means any form of automated processing of personal data consisting of the use of personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to analyse or predict aspects concerning that natural person&#8217;s performance at work, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behaviour, location or movements.<\/p><h4>f)     Pseudonymisation<\/h4><p>Pseudonymisation 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 organisational measures to ensure that the personal data are not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.<\/p><h4>g)    Controller or controller responsible for the processing<\/h4><p>Controller or controller responsible for the processing is the natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which, 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.<\/p><h4>h)    Processor<\/h4><p>Processor is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which processes personal data on behalf of the controller.<\/p><h4>i)      Recipient<\/h4><p>Recipient is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or another body to which the 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.<\/p><h4>j)      Third party<\/h4><p>Third party is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or body other than the data subject, controller, processor and persons who, under the direct authority of the controller or processor, are authorised to process personal data.<\/p><h4>k)    Consent<\/h4><p>Consent of the data subject is any freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous indication of the data subject&#8217;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.<\/p><h4>2. Name and address of the controller<\/h4><p>The controller for the purposes of the General Data Protection Regulation, other data protection laws applicable in the Member States of the European Union and other provisions related to data protection is:<\/p><p>Wpress Group Ltd<\/p><p>Piccadilly Business Centre<br \/>Aldow Enterprise Park<br \/>Manchester<br \/>M12 6AE<\/p><p>United Kingdom<\/p><p>Email: kontakt@wpressprofis.de<\/p><p>Website: www.wpressprofis.de<\/p><h4>3. Cookies<\/h4><p>The websites of Wpress Group Ltd use cookies. Cookies are text files that are stored in a computer system via an internet browser.<\/p><p>Many websites and servers use cookies. Many cookies contain a so-called cookie ID. A cookie ID is a unique identifier of the cookie. It consists of a character string through which websites and servers can be assigned to the specific internet browser in which the cookie was stored. This allows visited websites and servers to distinguish the individual browser of the data subject from other internet browsers that contain other cookies. A specific internet browser can be recognised and identified using the unique cookie ID.<\/p><p>Through the use of cookies, Wpress Group Ltd wpressprofis.de can provide the users of this website with more user-friendly services that would not be possible without the cookie setting.<\/p><p>By means of a cookie, the information and offers on our website can be optimised with the user in mind. As already mentioned, cookies allow us to recognise our website users. The purpose of this recognition is to make it easier for users to use our website. For example, the user of a website that uses cookies does not have to enter access data each time the website is accessed, because this is taken over by the website and the cookie stored on the user&#8217;s computer system. Another example is the cookie of a shopping cart in an online shop. The online shop remembers the items a customer has placed in the virtual shopping cart via a cookie.<\/p><p>The data subject may, at any time, prevent the setting of cookies through our website by means of a corresponding setting of the internet browser used, and may thus permanently deny the setting of cookies. Furthermore, already set cookies may 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.<\/p><h4>4. Collection of general data and information<\/h4><p>The website wpressprofis.de of Wpress Group Ltd collects a series 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 collected: (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-pages 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 serve to avert danger in the event of attacks on our information technology systems.<\/p><p>When using this general data and information, Wpress Group Ltd does not draw any conclusions about the data subject. Rather, this information is needed to (1) deliver the content of our website correctly, (2) optimise the content of our website and its advertising, (3) ensure the long-term functionality of our information technology systems and website technology, and (4) provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for criminal prosecution in case of a cyber attack. This anonymously collected data and information is therefore evaluated by Wpress Group Ltd statistically and with the aim of increasing data protection and data security in our company, to ultimately ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data we process. The anonymous data of the server log files are stored separately from all personal data provided by a data subject.<\/p><h4>5. Registration on our website<\/h4><p>The data subject has the possibility to register on the website wpressprofis.de of the controller by providing personal data. Which personal data are transmitted to the controller is determined by the respective input mask used for the registration. The personal data entered by the data subject are 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 also uses the personal data exclusively for an internal use attributable to the controller.<\/p><p>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 the registration are also stored. This data is stored against the background that this is the only way to prevent the misuse of our services and, if necessary, to make it possible to investigate committed offences. In this respect, the storage of this data is necessary to secure the controller. This data is generally not passed on to third parties unless there is a legal obligation to pass it on or the disclosure serves the purpose of criminal prosecution.<\/p><p>The registration of the data subject, with the voluntary indication of personal data, enables the controller to offer the data subject content or services that, due to the nature of the matter, can only be offered to registered users. Registered persons are free to change the personal data specified during registration at any time, or to have them completely deleted from the data stock of the controller.<\/p><p>The controller shall, at any time, provide information upon request to each data subject as to what personal data are stored about the data subject. In addition, the controller shall correct or erase personal data at the request or indication of the data subject, insofar as there are no statutory storage obligations. All employees of the controller are available to the data subject in this respect as contact persons.<\/p><h4>6. Subscription to our newsletter<\/h4><p>On the website wpressprofis.de of Wpress Group Ltd, users are given the opportunity to subscribe to our company&#8217;s newsletter. The input mask used for this purpose determines which personal data are transmitted to the controller when the newsletter is ordered.<\/p><p>Wpress Group Ltd informs its customers and business partners regularly by means of a newsletter about the company&#8217;s offers. The newsletter of our company may 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 first entered by a data subject for the newsletter, using the double opt-in procedure. This confirmation email is used to verify whether the owner of the email address as the data subject has authorised the receipt of the newsletter.<\/p><p>When registering for the newsletter, we also store the IP address of the computer system used by the data subject at the time of registration, as assigned by the internet service provider (ISP), as well as the date and time of registration. The collection of this data is necessary in order to be able to trace the (possible) misuse of a data subject&#8217;s email address at a later date and therefore serves the legal protection of the controller.<\/p><p>The personal data collected as part of a newsletter registration will be used exclusively to send our newsletter. In addition, subscribers to the newsletter may be informed by email if this is necessary for the operation of the newsletter service or a related registration, as might be the case in the event of changes to the newsletter offer or changes in technical circumstances. The personal data collected as part of the newsletter service will not be passed on to third parties. The subscription to our newsletter may be cancelled by the data subject at any time. The consent to the storage of personal data that the data subject has given us for the newsletter may be revoked at any time. For the purpose of revoking consent, a corresponding link is found in each newsletter. It is also possible to unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time directly on the website of the controller, or to communicate this to the controller in a different way.<\/p><h4>7. Newsletter tracking<\/h4><p>The newsletters of Wpress Group Ltd wpressprofis.de contain so-called tracking pixels. A tracking pixel is a miniature graphic embedded in emails sent in HTML format to enable log file recording and log file analysis. This allows a statistical analysis of the success or failure of online marketing campaigns. Based on the embedded tracking pixel, Wpress Group Ltd can see if and when an email was opened by a data subject and which links in the email were accessed by the data subject.<\/p><p>Such personal data collected via the tracking pixels contained in the newsletters are stored and analysed by the controller in order to optimise the shipping of the newsletter and to adapt the content of future newsletters even better to the interests of the data subject. These personal data will not be passed on to third parties. Data subjects are entitled at any time to revoke the respective separate declaration of consent given via the double opt-in procedure. After a revocation, these personal data will be deleted by the controller. Wpress Group Ltd automatically regards a withdrawal from the receipt of the newsletter as a revocation.<\/p><h4>8. Contact possibility via the website<\/h4><p>Due to legal requirements, the website wpressprofis.de of Wpress Group Ltd contains information that enables quick electronic contact with our company and direct communication with us, which also includes a general address of so-called electronic mail (email address). If a data subject contacts the controller by email or via a contact form, the personal data transmitted by the data subject are automatically stored. Such personal data transmitted on a voluntary basis by a data subject to the controller are stored for the purpose of processing or contacting the data subject. These personal data are not passed on to third parties.<\/p><h4>9. Subscription to comments in the blog on the website<\/h4><p>Comments made in the blog of Wpress Group Ltd may generally be subscribed to by third parties. In particular, a commenter may subscribe to the comments following their own comment on a particular blog post.<\/p><p>If a data subject decides to subscribe to the option, the controller sends an automatic confirmation email to check, using the double opt-in procedure, whether the owner of the specified email address really chose this option. The option to subscribe to comments may be terminated at any time.<\/p><h4>10. Routine erasure and blocking of personal data<\/h4><p>The controller processes and stores personal data of the data subject only for the period necessary to achieve the purpose of storage, or as far as this is provided for by the European legislator or other legislators in laws or regulations to which the controller is subject.<\/p><p>If the storage purpose no longer applies, or if a storage period prescribed by the European legislator or another competent legislator expires, the personal data are routinely blocked or erased in accordance with legal requirements.<\/p><h4>11. Rights of the data subject<\/h4><h4>a)    Right of confirmation<\/h4><p>Each data subject has the right granted by the European legislator to obtain from the controller confirmation as to whether or not personal data concerning him or her are being processed. If a data subject wishes to exercise this right of confirmation, he or she may contact any employee of the controller at any time.<\/p><h4>b)    Right of access<\/h4><p>Each data subject has the right granted by the European legislator to obtain from the controller, free of charge and at any time, information about the personal data stored about him or her and a copy of this information. Furthermore, the European legislator has granted the data subject access to the following information:<\/p><ul><li>the purposes of the processing<\/li><li>the categories of personal data concerned<\/li><li>the recipients or categories of recipients to whom the personal data have been or will be disclosed, in particular recipients in third countries or international organisations<\/li><li>where possible, the envisaged period for which the personal data will be stored, or, if not possible, the criteria used to determine that period<\/li><li>the existence of the right to request from the controller rectification or erasure of personal data, or restriction of processing of personal data concerning the data subject, or to object to such processing<\/li><li>the existence of the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority<\/li><li>where the personal data are not collected from the data subject: any available information as to their source<\/li><li>the existence of automated decision-making, including profiling, referred to in Article 22(1) and (4) GDPR and, at least in those cases, meaningful information about the logic involved, as well as the significance and envisaged consequences of such processing for the data subject<\/li><\/ul><p>Furthermore, the data subject has a right to obtain information as to whether personal data are transferred to a third country or to an international organisation. Where this is the case, the data subject also has the right to be informed of the appropriate safeguards relating to the transfer.<\/p><p>If a data subject wishes to exercise this right of access, he or she may contact any employee of the controller at any time.<\/p><h4>c)    Right to rectification<\/h4><p>Each data subject has the right granted by the European legislator to obtain without undue delay the rectification of inaccurate personal data concerning him or her. Taking into account the purposes of the processing, the data subject also has the right to have incomplete personal data completed, including by means of providing a supplementary statement.<\/p><p>If a data subject wishes to exercise this right to rectification, he or she may contact any employee of the controller at any time.<\/p><h4>d)    Right to erasure (right to be forgotten)<\/h4><p>Each data subject has the right granted by the European legislator to obtain from the controller the erasure of personal data concerning him or her without undue delay, where one of the following grounds applies and as long as the processing is not necessary:<\/p><ul><li>The personal data are no longer necessary in relation to the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed.<\/li><li>The data subject withdraws consent on which the processing is based according to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR or Art. 9(2)(a) GDPR, and there is no other legal ground for the processing.<\/li><li>The data subject objects to the processing pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing, or the data subject objects to the processing pursuant to Art. 21(2) GDPR.<\/li><li>The personal data have been unlawfully processed.<\/li><li>The personal data must be erased for compliance with a legal obligation in Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject.<\/li><li>The personal data have been collected in relation to the offer of information society services referred to in Art. 8(1) GDPR.<\/li><\/ul><p>If one of the aforementioned reasons applies and a data subject wishes to request the erasure of personal data stored by Wpress Group Ltd, he or she may contact any employee of the controller at any time. The employee of Wpress Group Ltd shall promptly ensure that the erasure request is complied with immediately.<\/p><p>Where Wpress Group Ltd has made personal data public and is obliged as controller pursuant to Art. 17(1) GDPR to erase the personal data, Wpress Group Ltd, taking account of available technology and the cost of implementation, shall take reasonable steps, including technical measures, to inform other controllers processing the published personal data that the data subject has requested erasure by such controllers of any links to, or copy or replication of, those personal data, as far as processing is not required. The employee of Wpress Group Ltd will arrange the necessary measures in individual cases.<\/p><h4>e)    Right to restriction of processing<\/h4><p>Each data subject has the right granted by the European legislator to obtain from the controller restriction of processing where one of the following applies:<\/p><ul><li>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.<\/li><li>The processing is unlawful and the data subject opposes the erasure of the personal data and requests instead the restriction of their use.<\/li><li>The controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of the processing, but they are required by the data subject for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.<\/li><li>The data subject has objected to processing pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR pending the verification whether the legitimate grounds of the controller override those of the data subject.<\/li><\/ul><p>If one of the aforementioned conditions is met and a data subject wishes to request the restriction of the processing of personal data stored by Wpress Group Ltd, he or she may contact any employee of the controller at any time. The employee of Wpress Group Ltd will arrange the restriction of the processing.<\/p><h4>f)     Right to data portability<\/h4><p>Each data subject has the right granted by the European legislator to receive the personal data concerning him or her, which were provided to a controller, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. He or she also has the right to transmit those data to another controller without hindrance from the controller to which the personal data have been provided, as long as 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 by automated means, as long as the processing is not necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller.<\/p><p>Furthermore, in exercising his or her right to data portability pursuant to Art. 20(1) GDPR, the data subject has the right to have personal data transmitted directly from one controller to another, where technically feasible and when doing so does not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others.<\/p><p>To assert the right to data portability, the data subject may contact any employee of Wpress Group Ltd at any time.<\/p><h4>g)    Right to object<\/h4><p>Each data subject has the right granted by the European legislator to object, on grounds relating to his or her particular situation, at any time, to the processing of personal data concerning him or her which is based on Art. 6(1)(e) or (f) GDPR. This also applies to profiling based on these provisions.<\/p><p>In the event of an objection, Wpress Group Ltd shall no longer process the personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override the interests, rights and freedoms of the data subject, or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.<\/p><p>If Wpress Group Ltd processes personal data for direct marketing purposes, the data subject has the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning him or her for such marketing. This also applies to profiling to the extent that it is related to such direct marketing. If the data subject objects to Wpress Group Ltd processing for direct marketing purposes, Wpress Group Ltd will no longer process the personal data for these purposes.<\/p><p>In addition, the data subject has the right, on grounds relating to his or her particular situation, to object to the processing of personal data concerning him or her by Wpress Group Ltd for scientific or historical research purposes, or for statistical purposes pursuant to Art. 89(1) GDPR, unless the processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out for reasons of public interest.<\/p><p>In order to exercise the right to object, the data subject may contact any employee of Wpress Group Ltd directly. In addition, the data subject is free in the context of the use of information society services, and notwithstanding Directive 2002\/58\/EC, to exercise his or her right to object by automated means using technical specifications.<\/p><h4>h)    Automated individual decision-making, including profiling<\/h4><p>Each data subject has the right granted by the European legislator not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects concerning him or her, or similarly significantly affects him or her, as long as the decision (1) is not necessary for entering into, or the performance of, a contract between the data subject and the controller, or (2) is not authorised by Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject and which also lays down suitable measures to safeguard the data subject&#8217;s rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, or (3) is not based on the data subject&#8217;s explicit consent.<\/p><p>If the decision (1) is necessary for entering into, or the performance of, a contract between the data subject and the controller, or (2) is based on the data subject&#8217;s explicit consent, Wpress Group Ltd shall implement suitable measures to safeguard the data subject&#8217;s rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, at least the right to obtain human intervention on the part of the controller, to express his or her point of view and to contest the decision.<\/p><p>If the data subject wishes to exercise rights concerning automated individual decision-making, he or she may contact any employee of the controller at any time.<\/p><h4>i)      Right to withdraw data protection consent<\/h4><p>Each data subject has the right granted by the European legislator to withdraw his or her consent to the processing of personal data at any time.<\/p><p>If the data subject wishes to exercise the right to withdraw consent, he or she may contact any employee of the controller at any time.<\/p><h4>12. Data protection for applications and the application procedure<\/h4><p>The controller collects and processes the personal data of applicants for the purpose of handling the application procedure. The processing may also be carried out electronically. This is the case in particular if an applicant submits 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 submitted data will be stored for the purpose of processing the employment relationship in compliance with legal requirements. If no employment contract is concluded with the applicant by the controller, the application documents are automatically erased two months after notification of the rejection decision, provided that no other legitimate interests of the controller oppose the erasure. Other legitimate interests in this sense include, for example, a burden of proof in proceedings under the German General Equal Treatment Act (AGG).<\/p><h4>13. Data protection provisions on the use of Facebook<\/h4><p>The controller has integrated components of the company Facebook on this website. Facebook is a social network.<\/p><p>A social network is a place for social meetings on the internet, an online community that usually allows users to communicate with each other and interact in a virtual space. A social network may serve as a platform for the exchange of opinions and experiences, or enable the internet community to provide personal or business-related information. Facebook allows social network users to create private profiles, upload photos and network through friend requests, among other things.<\/p><p>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 is Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland.<\/p><p>With each call-up of one of the individual pages of this website, which is operated by the controller and into which a Facebook component (Facebook plug-in) has been integrated, the internet browser on the data subject&#8217;s information technology system is automatically prompted by the respective Facebook component to download a display of the corresponding Facebook component from Facebook. An overview of all Facebook plug-ins can be found at https:\/\/developers.facebook.com\/docs\/plugins\/. During this technical procedure, Facebook is made aware of which specific sub-page of our website was visited by the data subject.<\/p><p>If the data subject is logged in to Facebook at the same time, Facebook detects with every call-up of our website by the data subject, and for the entire duration of their stay on our website, which specific sub-page of our website was visited by the data subject. This information is collected through the Facebook component and associated with the respective Facebook account of the data subject. If the data subject clicks on one of the Facebook buttons integrated into our website, e.g. the \u201cLike\u201d button, or if the data subject submits a comment, Facebook matches this information with the personal Facebook user account of the data subject and stores the personal data.<\/p><p>Facebook always receives, through the Facebook component, information about a visit to our website by the data subject whenever the data subject is logged in to Facebook at the same time as accessing our website; this occurs regardless of whether the data subject clicks on the Facebook component or not. If such a transmission of information to Facebook is not desirable for the data subject, he or she may prevent it by logging out of his or her Facebook account before calling up our website.<\/p><p>The data policy published by Facebook, available at https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/about\/privacy\/, provides information about the collection, processing and use of personal data by Facebook. It also explains which setting options Facebook offers to protect the privacy of the data subject. In addition, various applications are available that make it possible to suppress data transmission to Facebook. Such applications may be used by the data subject to suppress a data transmission to Facebook.<\/p><h4>14. Data protection provisions on the use of Google Analytics (with anonymisation function)<\/h4><p>The controller has integrated the component Google Analytics (with anonymisation function) on this website. Google Analytics is a web analytics service. Web analytics is the collection, gathering and analysis of data about the behaviour of visitors to websites. A web analytics service collects, among other things, data about the website from which a data subject came to a website (so-called referrer), which sub-pages of the website were accessed, or how often and for how long a sub-page was viewed. Web analytics are mainly used to optimise a website and for the cost-benefit analysis of internet advertising.<\/p><p>The operating company of the Google Analytics component is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland.<\/p><p>For web analytics through Google Analytics, the controller uses the extension \u201c_gat._anonymizeIp\u201d. By means of this extension, the IP address of the data subject&#8217;s internet connection is shortened and anonymised by Google when our websites are accessed from a Member State of the European Union or from another state party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area.<\/p><p>The purpose of the Google Analytics component is to analyse the traffic on our website. Google uses the collected data and information, among other things, to evaluate the use of our website, to compile online reports for us showing the activities on our websites, and to provide other services related to the use of our website.<\/p><p>Google Analytics places a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. What cookies are has already been explained above. The cookie enables Google to analyse the use of our website. With each call-up of one of the individual pages of this website, which is operated by the controller and into which a Google Analytics component has been integrated, the internet browser on the data subject&#8217;s information technology system is automatically prompted by the respective Google Analytics component to transmit data to Google for the purpose of online analysis. During this technical procedure, Google gains knowledge of personal data such as the IP address of the data subject, which serves Google, among other things, to understand the origin of visitors and clicks and subsequently to create commission settlements.<\/p><p>The cookie is used to store personal information, such as the access time, the location from which access was made and the frequency of visits to our website by the data subject. With each visit to our website, such personal data, including the IP address of the internet connection used by the data subject, are transferred to Google in the United States of America. These personal data are stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may pass on these personal data collected through the technical procedure to third parties.<\/p><p>As stated above, the data subject may prevent the setting of cookies through our website at any time by means of a corresponding setting of the internet browser used, and thus permanently deny 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 data subject. In addition, cookies already set by Google Analytics may be deleted at any time via the internet browser or other software programs.<\/p><p>Furthermore, the data subject has the possibility of objecting to the collection of data generated by Google Analytics relating to the use of this website, as well as the processing of these data by Google, and of preventing this. For this purpose, the data subject must download and install a browser add-on under the link https:\/\/tools.google.com\/dlpage\/gaoptout. This browser add-on tells Google Analytics through JavaScript that no data and information about visits to websites may be transmitted to Google Analytics. The installation of the browser add-on is considered an objection by Google. If the information technology system of the data subject is later deleted, formatted or newly installed, the data subject must reinstall the browser add-on to disable Google Analytics. If the browser add-on was 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.<\/p><p>Further information and Google&#8217;s applicable data protection provisions can be found at https:\/\/policies.google.com\/privacy and at https:\/\/marketingplatform.google.com\/about\/analytics\/terms\/. Google Analytics is explained in more detail at https:\/\/marketingplatform.google.com\/about\/analytics\/.<\/p><h4>15.

Legal basis for the processing<\/h4><p>Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing operations for 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, when processing operations are necessary for the supply of goods or the provision of any other service, the processing is based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR. The same applies to processing operations that are necessary for carrying out pre-contractual measures, for example in the case of enquiries about our products or services. If our company is subject to a legal obligation by which processing of personal data is required, such as for the fulfilment of tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR. In rare cases, the processing of personal data may be necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or of another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor were injured on our premises and his or her name, age, health insurance data or other vital information had to be passed on to a doctor, hospital or other third party. The processing would then be based on Art. 6(1)(d) GDPR.<br \/>Finally, processing operations could be based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. This legal basis is used for processing operations which are not covered by any of the abovementioned legal grounds, if processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by our company or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject. We are permitted to carry out such processing operations in particular because they have been specifically mentioned by the European legislator. In this respect, the legislator considered that a legitimate interest could be assumed if the data subject is a client of the controller (Recital 47 Sentence 2 GDPR).<\/p><h4>24. Legitimate interests pursued by the controller or by a third party<\/h4><p>Where the processing of personal data is based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR, our legitimate interest is to carry out our business in favour of the well-being of all our employees and shareholders.<\/p><h4>25. Period for which the personal data will be stored<\/h4><p>The criterion used to determine the period of storage of personal data is the respective statutory retention period. After expiration of that period, the corresponding data is routinely deleted, as long as it is no longer necessary for the fulfilment or initiation of a contract.<\/p><h4>26.

Statutory or contractual requirements to provide personal data; requirement necessary to enter into a contract; obligation of the data subject to provide the personal data; possible consequences of failure to provide such data<\/h4><p>We would like to point out that the provision of personal data is partly required by law (e.g. tax regulations) or can also result from contractual provisions (e.g. information on the contractual partner).<br \/>Sometimes it may be necessary to conclude a contract that the data subject provides us with personal data, which must subsequently be processed by us. The data subject is, for example, obliged to provide us with personal data when our company signs a contract with him or her. Failure to provide the personal data would mean that the contract with the data subject could not be concluded.<br \/>Before personal data is provided by the data subject, the data subject must contact one of our employees. Our employee will clarify to the data subject on a case-by-case basis whether the provision of the 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 non-provision of the personal data would be.<\/p><h4>28.
