additional processing. The buyer shall still be authorized to collect their claim even after the
assignment of the claim to us. Our authority to collect the claim ourselves shall remain
unaffected by this. However, we shall be obligated to not collect the claim as long as the buyer

Privacy Policy
Privacy Policy
We are very delighted about your interest in our company. The management of the ideaPRO GmbH
places a premium value on privacy. In principle, using the ideaPRO internet site is possible
without giving any personal information. However, inasmuch as somebody wants to avail
themselves of our company’s special services through our website, the processing of personal
data might be required. Is this the case and there is no legal basis for such data
processing, we in general obtain the consent from the data subject. Processing personal
data, such as name, residence, email address or phone number of a data subject, is always in
compliance with the GDPR and also with the country-specific Data Protection Regulations
ideaPRO gmbh is subject to. Our company wants to use this Privacy Policy to inform the
public about the type, scope and purpose of the personal data we collect, use and processes.
Furthermore, the data subjects are informed about their rights by way of this Privacy
Policy. As the party responsible for the data processing (in the following “ the
controller”), ideaPRO has implemented a number of technical and organizational measures to
ensure a seamless protection of the personal data processed via this website. Still, it is
possible that internet-based data transfer in principle can reveal safety gaps so that
guaranteeing absolute protection is impossible. For this reason, every relevant party has
the option to transfer personal data to us via alternative paths, e.g. by telephone.
1. Definition of terms
The Privacy Policy of ideaPRO gmbh is based on the terminology used by the European
legislator in the GDPR it issued. Our Privacy Policy is meant to be readable and
intelligible for the public and our customers and business partners. To ensure this, we want
to start off with explaining the terminology we use.
a) Personal data
Personal data is information that refers to an identified or identifiable natural person (
the data subject in the following). A natural person is considered identifiable if they can
be identified directly or indirectly and particularly by an assigned name, an ID number, a
location, an online ID or one res. several characteristics that manifest the physical,
physiological, genetical, psychological, economic, cultural or social identity of said
natural person.
b) Data subject
A data subject is any identified or identifiable natural person whose personal data is being
processed by someone responsible for this, called the controller in the following.
c) Processing
Processing means any activity either using no or some form of an automated mean or sequence
of means in connection with personal data such as: collecting, recording, organizing,
structuring, storing, adapting or changing, reading out, querying, using or revealing by
transfer, distributing or any kind of providing and matching, linking, deleting or
destroying data.
d) Processing limits
Processing limits means the designating of stored personal data with the purpose of limiting
future processing.
e) Profiling

evaluate personal aspects that refer to a natural person, in particular to analyze or
predict work performance, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests,
reliability, behavior, location or change of location of this natural person.
f) Pseudonymization
Pseudonymization is the processing of personal data so that is becomes impossible to
attribute the personal data to a specific data subject without using additional information,
insofar this additional information is stored separately and is subject to technical and
organizational measures that ensure that the personal data cannot be traced back to an
identified or identifiable natural person.
g) Responsible person or controller
Responsible person or controller is the natural and legal person, agency, institution or any
other party that solely or jointly with others decides on the purpose of and means for
processing personal data. Are the purpose and means prescribed by Union law or Member State

processes personal data and is ordered to do so by the controller.
i) Recipient
Recipient is a natural or legal person, agency, institution or other party that personal
data is disclosed to, irrespective if he or she is a third party or not. Agencies that
pursuant to Union law or Member State law might receive personal data in the context of
specific exploratory missions, are, however, not considered recipients.
j) Third Party
Third party is a natural or legal person, agency, institution or any other party except the
data subject, the controller, the processor and those persons who are authorized under the
immediate authority of the controller or processor to process personal data.

States and other regulations regarding data protection and privacy is: ideaPRO gmbh
Binnenhafenstr. 7 68159 Mannheim Germany phone: +49 107563-00 E-Mail: info@ideapro.de
Website: www.ideapro.de
3. Name and address of the data protection officer
The data protection officer for the responsible processor is: Markus Kirstein ideaPRO
gmbh Binnenhafenstr. 7 68159 Mannheim Germany Tel.: +49 107563-07 E-Mail:

data protection officer for any question and suggestions regarding data protection and
privacy.
4. Cookies
The ideaPRO gmbh website site uses cookies. Cookies are text files that are placed and
stored on a computer system via a web browser. Numerous websites and servers use cookies.
Many cookies contain a so-called cookie ID. A cookie ID is the unique identification of the
cookie. It is composed of a string of characters that allows to assign websites and servers
to the specific web browser where the cookie was stored. This enables servers and websites
visited to distinguish the individual browser of the data subject from other internet
browsers that contain different cookies. A certain web browser can be recognized and
identified via a unique cookie ID. Using cookies allows ideaPRO gmbh to provide users of
this website with user-friendly services which would not be possible without placing
cookies. By ways of a cookie, information and offers on our website can be optimized.
Cookies enable us, as mentioned before, to recognize the visitors on our website. The
purpose of this is it to make it easier for users to avail themselves of our website. For
instance, the user of a website that uses cookies does not need to enter access information
every time they visit the site since this task is performed by the website and the cookie
placed in the computer system of the user. Another example is the cookie in a shopping cart
in an online shop. The online shop remembers the article a customer placed in a virtual
shopping cart with the help of a cookie. The data subject can prevent the placing of a
cookie by our website block at all times using the appropriate setting of the web browser
used to permanently prohibit the placing of a cookie. Furthermore, cookies already placed
can be erased via a web browser or any other software program. This is an option all
commonly-used web browsers offer. However, if the data subject deactivates the placing of
cookies in the web browser used, it is possible that not all features of our website are
fully functional.
5. Collecting general data and information
Every time the ideaPRO gmbh website is accessed by the data subject or an automated
system, a number of general data and information is collected. This general data and
information is then stored in the log files of the server. The following data can be
collected: (1) browser type and version used, (2) the operating system used by the accessing
system, (3) the website from which the accessing system reaches our internet site ( a
so-called referrer), (4) the sub-site which are controlled through an accessing system on
our website, (5) the date and time of the access to the website, (6) an internet protocol
address (IP-Adresse), (7) the internet service provider of the accessing system and (8)
other similar data and information that can fend off dangers in case of an attack on our
data technology systems. By using this general data and information ideaPRO gmbh does not
draw any conclusion about the data subject. This information is necessary to (1) deliver the
content of a website correctly, (2) optimize the content of our website and the
advertisement for this site, (3) ensure ongoing functionality of our IT system and the
technology of our website and (4) provide law enforcement agencies with the necessary
information in case of a cyberattack. Thus, this data and information collected anonymously
is statistically evaluated for the purpose of increasing data security and data safety in
our company and so finally ensure a high level of protection for the personal data we
process. The anonymous data of the server logfiles is stored separately from all personal
data given by the data subject.
6. Registering on our internet site
The data subject has the option to register on the website of the controller by
entering personal data. Which personal data is needed to be transferred to the controller
depends on the specific registration form being used. The personal data entered by the data
subject is collected and stored exclusively for our internal use at the controller’s. The
controller can initiate the data transfer to one or several order processors, e.g. parcel
delivery service, that also uses personal data only for internal use that can be attributed
to the controller. Registering on the website of the controller also entails: storing the IP
address assigned from the Internet service Provider (ISP) to the data subject and the date
and time of the registration. Storing this data is performed considering the fact that this
is the only way abuse of our services can be prevented and that, if need arises, this data
can help solve crimes. And so storing this data is required to protect the controller.
Transferring this data to third parties is ruled out on principle, unless there is a legal
requirement, or it serves law enforcement. The registration of the data subject using freely
given personal data helps the controller to offer content and services to the data subject
that, due to the nature of matter, can only be offered to registered users. Registered
persons have the option to change personal data given upon registration at all times or even
have it completely erased from the database of the controller. At all times the controller
answers any questions a data subject might have about which of their personal data was
stored. Moreover, the controller rectifies or erases personal data upon request by the data
subject provided this does not contradict legal retention requirements. In this context, all
employees of the controller are available as contact persons for the data subject.
7. Subscribing to our newsletter
The ideaPRO gmbh website offers users the option to subscribe to our company
newsletter. Which personal data needs to be entered and transferred to the controller to
subscribe to the newsletter depends on the subscription form used. At regular intervals,
ideaPRO gmbh informs their customers and business partners about offers of the company by
way of a newsletter. On principle, our company’s newsletter can only be received by data
subjects if (1) the data subject possesses a valid e-mail address and (2) the data subjects
registers for newsletter mailing. For legal reasons the email address entered for the first
time by the data subject for receiving the newsletter is used to send back a confirmation
mail using the double-opt in procedure. This confirmation mail is used to verify if the
email address owner has authorized the data subject to receive the newsletter. Upon logging
on for the newsletter, we also store the IP address assigned by the internet service
provider (ISP) to the data subject’s computer used at the time of the log-on as well as the
date and time of the log-on. Collecting this data is necessary to trace back any abuse of a
data subject’s email address later and serves as a legal protection for the controller.
Personal data collected in the context of a subscription to a newsletter is used only for
the purpose of mailing our newsletter. Moreover, newsletter subscribers can be informed via
email where this is necessary for the operation of the newsletter services or a related
registration, as could be the case upon changes in the newsletter offer or any technical
changes. Personal data collected in the context of the newsletter service is never
transferred to third parties. A data subject can cancel the subscription at any time. Any
consent to the storage of personal data the data subject has given for mailing the
newsletter can be withdrawn at any time. Every newsletter has the relevant link for
withdrawing the consent. Furthermore, there is the option to cancel the newsletter
subscription at any time directly on the website of the controller or to inform the
controller about this using any other means.
8. Newsletter-Tracking
The ideaPRO gmbh newsletter contains so-called tracking pixels. A tracking pixel is a
miniature graphic that is embedded in emails that are transferred in the HTML format to
enable the recording of log files and their analysis. This allows a statistical evaluation
of a successful or unsuccessful online marketing campaign. With the help of embedded
tracking pixels ideaPRO gmbh can see if and when a data subject has opened their emails and
which links in said email he or she has clicked on. Personal data that is collected by the
tracking pixel in the newsletters is stored and evaluated by the controller to optimize the
newsletter mailing and to adapt the content of future newsletters to the interests of the
data subjects. This personal data is never transferred to third parties. Data subjects have
always the right to withdraw their consent that was given separately via our double-op
procedure at any time. After such a withdrawal, the personal data will be erased by the
controller. IdeaPRO gmbh interprets cancelation of the newsletter automatically as
withdrawal of consent.
9. Contact via the website
Due to legal requirements, the ideaPRO gmbh website contains information that allows
you to have faster electronic contact and immediate communication with our company which
also includes a general e-mail address. If a data subject establishes contact with the
controller by either email or via a contact form, the personal data transferred by the data
subject is stored automatically. Such personal data freely transferred to the controller by
the data subject is stored for processing or making contact with the data subject. This
personal data is not forwarded to any third party.
10. Routinely blocking and erasing of personal data
The controller processes and stores personal data of the data subject only for the
period of time that is necessary to achieve the storage purpose or where this has been
regulated by the European legislator or any other laws res. regulations that the controller
is subject to. Is there no storage purpose or does a storage retention period stipulated by
the European legislator or any other relevant legislator expire, the personal data is
routinely blocked or erased following the legal guidelines.
11. Rights of the data subject
a) Right to confirmation
Every data subject has the right, as granted by the European legislator, to a confirmation
by the controller that personal data of the data subject is being processed. In case the
data subject wants to exercise this right, they can at all times approach an employee of the
controller.
b) Right to request
Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right, as granted by
the European legislator, to obtain information from the controller on their stored personal
data free of charge and with a copy of this request. Furthermore, the European legislator
has granted the right to request for the following personal data: the processing purpose,
that category of personal data, the recipient or categories of recipient to whom the
personal data has been disclosed, in particular regarding recipients in third party
countries or with international organizations, if possible the period that personal data
will be stored for, and where this is not possible, the criteria for determining the storage
period, a right to rectify or erase personal data or the limit to processing by the
controller or a withdrawal of the consent to processing, the existence of a right to
complain at a regulatory agency if the personal data is not collected at the data subject’s:
all available information about the origin of the data, the existence of an automated
decision-making which includes profiling pursuant to article 22 paragraph 1 and 4 GDPR and
“at least in these cases” meaningful information on the logic involved and the extent and
envisaged impact of such a processing on the data subject. Furthermore, the data subject has
the right to request if personal data has been transferred to an international organization
or not. If this is the case, the data subject has the right to receive information on
suitable guarantees in connection with this transfer. If a data subject wants to exercise
their right to request, they can approach an employee of the controller at any time.
c) Right to rectify
Every data subject whose personal data has been processed has the right, as granted by the
European legislator, to have relevant and inaccurate personal data rectified immediately.
Furthermore, and considering the purpose of the data processing, the data subject has the
right to require that incomplete personal data be completed by way of a supplementary
statement. If the data subject wants to exercise this right to rectify, they can approach an
employee of the controller at any time.
d) Right to erase ( right to be forgotten)
Every data subject whose data has been processed has the right, as granted by the European
legislator, to require from the controller the immediate erasure of the respective personal
data provided one of the following reasons apply and as far as processing of data is not
necessary: The personal data was collected or processed in any other way for purposes that
are no longer relevant The data subject withdraws her or his consent on which the processing
pursuant to article 6, paragraph 1 , point b GDPR was based on or article 9 paragraph 2
point a of the GDPR and no other legal basis for the processing exists. The data subject
objects pursuant to article 21, paragraph 1 GDPR to the processing and there are no other
overriding legitimate reasons for the processing, or the data subject objects to the
processing pursuant to art. 21 paragraph 2 GDPR. The personal data was processed unlawfully.
Erasure of the personal data is required to meet the legal obligation as specified in Union
law or Member State law which the controller is subject to. The personal data was collected
in the context of services offered by the information society pursuant to article 8
paragraph 1 GDPR. If one of the above-mentioned reasons apply and a data subject wants to
effect erasure of personal data that is stored at ideaPRO gmbh, he or she can approach an
employee of the controller at any time. This ideaPRO gmbh employee will see to the requested
immediate erasure of personal data. In cases where their personal data has been made public
by ideaPRO gmbh and where our company is obligated to erase the personal data pursuant to
article 17 paragraph 1 GDPR, ideaPRO gmbh will under consideration of available technology
and implementation costs take suitable steps , also of a technical nature, to inform other
controllers who process the published personal data about the fact that the data subject
required of those other controllers to erase all links to his or her personal data or of all
copies or replicas of said personal data, provided the processing is not necessary. The
ideapro gmbh employee shall initiate the necessary steps in the individual case.
e) Right to limited processing.
Every data subject whose personal data has been processed has the right, as granted by the
European legislator, to require of the controllers a limit to the processing provided the
following conditions are met: The accuracy of the personal data is contested by the data
subject and at a time length that allows the controller to review the accuracy of the
personal data. The processing is unlawful and the data subject objects to the erasure of the
personal data and instead requires a limit to the use of the personal data. The controller
does no longer need the personal data for the purpose of processing, the data subject,
however, needs it for establishing, exercising or defending legal claims. The data subject
has filed an objection to the processing pursuant to article 21 paragraph 1 GDPR and it has
not yet been determined if the legitimate reasons of the controller outweigh those of the
data subject. Insofar one of the above-mentioned conditions is met and a data subject
requires a limit to the personal data that is stored at ideaPRO gmbh, he or she can approach
an employee of the controller at any time. The ideaPRO gmbh employee shall see to the
processing being limited.
f) Right to data portability
Every data subject whose personal data has been processed has the right, as granted by the
European legislator, to receive the data he or she has given to the controller in a
structured, commonly-used and machine-readable format. Furthermore, he or she has the right
to transfer this data to any othe controller without hindrance from the controller who was
provided with the personal data, provided that the processing is based on a consent pursuant
to article 6 paragraph 1 a GDPR or article 9 paragraph 2a GDPR or on a contract pursuant to
article 6 paragraph 1b GDPR and processing is effected using automated means, provided the
processing is not necessary to perform a task that is in the public interest or in the
execution of public authority the controller was vested in. Furthermore, the data subject,
when exercising his or her right to data portability pursuant to article 20 paragraph 1
GDPR, has the right to require that the personal data be transferred directly from one
controller to another controller, provided this is technically feasible and provided it does
not compromise the rights and freedoms of others. To exercise the right to data portability,
the data subject can approach an ideapreo gmbh employee at any time.
g) Right to object
Every data subject whose personal data has been processed has the right, as granted by the
European legislator, to object to the processing that is based on article 6 paragraph 1 e or
f GDPR, of his or her personal data on grounds relating to his or her particular situation.
This also applies for profiling that is also based on this regulation. IdeaPRO gmbh ceases
to process the personal data when there is a withdrawal of consent, unless we have proof of
compelling legitimate reasons for a processing that outweigh the interests, rights and
freedoms of the data subject. Or the processing serves the establishment, exercise and
defense of legal claims. In cases where ideaPRO gmbh processes personal data for the purpose
of direct marketing, the data subject has the right to object at any time to the processing
of the personal data for such marketing. That also applies to profiling where it is in
connection with such direct marketing. Does the data subject object to ideaPRO gmbh’s
processing of their personal data for direct marketing, ideaPRO gmbh will cease to process
the personal data for such a purpose. Furthermore, the data subject has the right to lodge
an objection for personal reasons to the processing of her or his personal data that is
performed by ideaPRO gmbh for scientific or historic research or for statistical purposes
pursuant to article 89 1 GDPR, unless such a processing fulfills a task that is in the
public interest. To exercise his or her right to object, the data subject can approach an
employee of ideaPRO gmbh or any other employee at any time. Furthermore, the data subject
also has the option, right in the context of use of services of the information society, to
exercise his or her right to object via automated means that use technical specifications.
h) Automated individual decision-making including profiling
Every data subject whose data has been processed has the right, as granted by the European
legislator, not to be subject to a decision reached solely by automated processing, that
includes profiling, that has a legal effect on him or her or a similar substantial impact,
provided the decision (1) is not necessary for closing or performing a contract between the
data subject and the controller, or (2) is, due to Union law or its Member States law the
controller is subject to, admissible, or (3) has the explicit consent of the data subject.
Is the decision necessary (1) for closing or performing a contract between the data subject
and the controler or (2) has been reached with the explicit consent of the data subject,
ideaPRO gmbh shall implement suitable steps to safeguard the data subject’s rights and
freedoms as well as his or her legitimate interests which includes at least the right to
human intervention on the part of the controller, to express his or her point of view and to
contest the decision. If the data subject wants to exercise his or her rights regarding
automated decisions, he or she can approach an employee of the controller at any time.
i) Right to withdraw a data consent
Every data subject whose data has been processed has the right, as granted by the European
legislator, to withdraw his or her consent to the processing of personal data at any time.
If the data subject wants to exercise his or her right to withdraw the consent, he or she
can approach an employee of the controller at any time.
12. Data privacy in applications and application processes.
The controller collects and processes the personal data from applicants for the
purpose of the application procedure. This process can be carried out electronically too.
This is particularly the case when the applicant transfers his or her application documents
electronically, e.g. per e-mail or via a web form on the website to the controller. If the
controller enters into an employment contract with an applicant, the transferred data will
be stored for the purpose of processing the employment in accordance with the legal
requirements. In case the controller does not enter into an employment contract with the
applicant, the application documents will be erased within two months’ time after the
negative decision, provided the erasure does not contradict other legitimate interests of
the controller. Other legitimate interests in this context might be the burden of proof in a
proceeding dealing with General Equality Law (Allgemeinen Gleichbehandlungsgesetz).
13. Data privacy and protection regulations regarding use of Google Analytics (with
anonymizing function)
The controller has integrated the Google Analytics component ( with anonymizing
function) on this website. Google Analytics is a Web-Analysis service. Web analysis is the
collection and evaluation of data on the behavior of website visitors. Among other things, a
web analysis service records data revealing from which website a data subject has accessed
another website ( so-called referrer), which sub-site of the website has been accessed and
how often and for how long a sub-site has been viewed. Primarily, a web analysis is used to
optimize a website and for a cost-benefit analysis of internet advertising. Google-Analytics
components is run by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA.
The controller uses the ending „gat.anonymizep“ for the web analysis via google Analytics.
By way of this ending, the IP address of data subject’s internet connection is truncated and
anonymized if he or she accesses our website from a EU Member State or any other treaty
state of the European Economic Area. The purpose of the Google-Analytics component is the
analysis of web traffic on our website. Google uses the data and information gathered, among
other things, to evaluate the use of our website, to compile online reports which show
activities on our website and to render more services in connection with the use of our
website. Google Analytics places a cookie in the IT system of the data subject. What cookies
are has already been explained earlier. Placing a cookie allows us to analyze the use of our
website. Every time a single page of this website that is run by the controller and that has
an integrated Google Analytics component is accessed, the web browser on the IT system of
the data subject is triggered automatically by the respective Google Analytics component to
transfer data for the purpose of an online analysis. In the context of this technical
procedures Google learns about personal data, such as the IP address of the data subject,
that Google, among other things, uses to trace back the visitor’s origin and as a
consequence enables commission billing. Cookies also store personal data, such as time of
access, the location from which the access came and the frequency of visits to our website
by the data subject. At every visit to our website, the personal data, including the IP
address of the data subject’s internet connection, is transmitted to the USA: This personal
data is then stored by Google in the USA. Google might forward this personal data collected
through these technical means to third parties. The data subject can at all times block the
placing of cookies, as mentioned above, by selecting the appropriate setting in the web
browser used and so object to the setting of cookies permanently. Such a setting would also
prevent Google from placing a cookie on the IT system of the data subject. Beyond that, a
cookie already placed by Google Analytics can be erased at any time using the web browser or
any other software programs. Furthermore, the data subject has the option to object to
Google’s collection and processing of data and prevent it. To do so, the data subject must
download a Browser-Add-On at this link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout and then
install it. This browser-Add-On informs Google Analytics via JavaScript that no data and
information regarding the visitor of websites is permitted to be transferred to Google.
Google will interpret the installation of the Browser-Add-Ons as an objection. If the IT
system of the data subject is erased, formatted or newly installed at a later point in time,
the data subject must install the browser add-on anew to deactivate Google Analytics.
Insofar the browser-Add-On has been de-installed or de-activated by the data subject or any
other person under his or her authority, there is the possibility of a new installation or
activation of the Browser-Add-Ons. For more information and their applicable Google Data
privacy policies go to https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/ and
http://www.google.com/analytics/terms/de.html. Google Analytics will be explained in more
detail at https://www.google.com/intl/de_de/analytics/.
14. Data protection and privacy regarding use of Google-AdWords
The controller has integrated Google AdWords into this website. Google AdWords is a
service for online advertising that allows advertisers to run ads in their search engines
results of Google and also in the Google advertising network. Google AdWords enables an
advertiser to set specific keywords in advance that help to display Google search engine
results only when the user of the search engine asks for a key-word relevant result. In the
Google advertising network, the advertisements are distributed across topic-relevant
websites using an automated algorithm and consider previously determined key words. Google
AdWords services is run by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA
94043-1351, USA. The purpose of Google AdWords is advertising for our website by popping up
interest-relevant ads on the websites of third party companies and in the search engine
results of the Google search engine and by popping-up third-party ads on our website. Does a
data subject land on our website via a Google ad, a so-called conversion cookie is placed by
Google on the IT system of the data subject. A conversion cookie becomes invalid after 30
days and cannot identify the data subject. A conversion cookie, if it is still valid, helps
to trace back when certain sub-sites, e.g. a shopping cart from an online shop system, has
been accessed from our website. Conversion cookies allow us and Google to trace back if a
data subject that has landed on our website via an AdWords ad has generated turnover, has
made e.g. a purchase or canceled it. Data and information collected through conversion
cookies is used by Google to compile visitor stats for our website. These visitor statistics
again are used to arrive at the total number of users who were sent to us via AdWords ads,
and thus help to determine the success or failure of the respective AdWords ad and to
optimize our AdWords ads in the future. Neither our company nor other Google AdWords
advertising customers receive information from Google that could help to identify the data
subject. Conversion cookies help to store personal data , e.g. the websites visited by the
data subject. With every visit to our website, personal data, including the IP address of
the data subject’s used internet connection will be transferred to Google in the USA. Google
might forward personal data collected this way to third party. The data subject can at all
times block the placing of cookies on our website, as mentioned above, by selecting the
appropriate setting in the web browser used and so object to the setting of cookies
permanently. Such a setting would also prevent Google from placing a conversion cookie on
the IT system of the data subject. Beyond that, a cookie already placed by Google AdWords
can be erased at any time using the web browser or any other software programs. Beyond that,
the data subject has the option to object to interest-related ads from Google. To do this,
the data subject must to go to the link www.google.de/settings/ads of every web browser used
and activate the appropriate setting. For more information and the applicable Google Privacy
and Data protection policy go to https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/.
15. Data privacy and protection regulation regarding use of YouTube
The controller has YouTube components integrated into this website. YouTube is an
internet video portal that allows video publishers to post video clips free of charge and
other users to view, rate and comment said videos also free of charge. YouTube permits the
publishing of all kinds of videos which is why complete movies and TV broadcasts but also
music videos, trailers or videos users produced themselves can be accessed through the
internet portal. YouTube is run by YouTube, LLC, 901 Cherry Ave., San Bruno, CA 94066, USA.
YouTube, LLC is a subsidiary of Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA
94043-1351, USA. By accessing an individual page of this website that is run by the
controller and where a Youtube component (YouTube Video) has been integrated, the web
browser on the IT system of the data subject will be automatically triggered by the
respective YouTube component to download a display of the respective YouTube component. For
more information on YouTube you can go to https://www.youtube.com/yt/about/de/. In the
context of this technical process, YouTube and Google will learn which specific sub-sites of
our website have been visited by the data subject. Insofar as the data subject is
simultaneously logged on to YouTube, YouTube will recognize that when a sub-site with a
YouTube video is accessed, which concrete sub-site of our website the data subject is
visiting. This information is colleced by YouTube and Google and attributed to the
respective YouTube account of the data subject. YouTube and Google will receive information
via the YouTube components that the data subject has visited our website whenever the data
subject is also logged on to YouTube and at the moment he or she accesses our website; this
happens regardless whether the data subject clicks on a YouTube video or not. If the data
subject does not want this information transferred to YouTube and Google, it can prevent
this transfer by logging off of their YouTube account before accessing our website. To see
the data privacy and protection policies published by YouTube go to
https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/ to learn about the collection, processing
and use of personal data by YouTube and Google.
16. Legal basis for processing data
Article 6 I lit. a GDPR is the legal basis for our company regarding data processing
that involves obtaining consent for a certain processing purpose. Is the processing of
personal data required for honoring a contract the data subject is a party to, as this is
the case with processing activities necessary for the delivery of goods or service or
service in return, said processing is based on article 6 I lit. b GDPR. The same applies to
such processing activities that are necessary to carry out contractual measures, e.g.
inquiries for our products and services. Is the company legally required to process personal
data, e.g. to meet tax obligations, the processing is based on article 6 I lit. c GDPR. In
rare cases the processing of personal data might be necessary to protect vital interests of
the data subject or any other natural person. For instance, this would be the case if a
visitor to our premises were to have an accident and therefore his or her name, age, health
insurance data or other vital information had to be sent to a physician, hospital or other
third parties. In this case the processing of data would be based on article. 6 I lit. d
GDPR. Finally, processing activities could be based on article 6 I lit. f GDPR. This is the
legal basis for processing activities that are not covered by any of the aforementioned
legal bases, if the processing is required for protecting the legitimate interests of our
company or of a third party, so long as the interest, rights and freedom of the data subject
do not prevail. Such processing activities are particularly permitted because they are
emphasized by the European legislator. The legislator took the position that a legitimate
interest could be assumed if the data subject is a customer of the controller (Recital 47
line 2 GDPR).
17. Legitimate interest in the processing monitored by the controller or a third
party.
If the processing of personal data is based on article 6 I lit. f GDPR, we have the
legitimate interest in the execution of our business activities in favor of the wellbeing of
our employees and owners.
18. Period of storage of personal data
The criterion for the period of the storage of personal data is the respective legal
retention period. After this period has expired, the respective data will be erased
routinely, insofar it is not required for performing or initiating a contract.
19. Legal and contractual regulations for provision of personal data; necessary for
entering a contract, obligation of the data subject to provide personal data; possible
consequences of non-compliance.
We inform that providing personal data is in part required by law (e.g. tax
regulations) or is the result of contractual stipulations (e.g. details on the contract
party). In some cases, it might be necessary that a data subject provides personal data that
subsequently has to be processed by us. For instance, the data subject is obligated to
provide us with personal data if our company enters into a contract with him or her. Not
providing personal data would entail that the contract with the data subject cannot be
closed. Prior to providing personal data by the data subject, he or she has to approach one
of our employees. Our employee will then explain to the data subject in the individual case
if providing personal data is contractually or legally required, if there is an obligation
providing personal data, and the consequences that would result if personal data were not
provided.
20. Google Fonts
We use the fonts (“Google Fonts”) offered by Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway,
Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. Data Protection and Privacy Declaration:

21. Existence of automated decision-making
As a responsible company we forgo automated decision-making or profiling.
