Privacy policy

1) Information on the collection of personal data and contact details of the controller

1.1 We are plea­sed that you are visi­ting our web­site and thank you for your inte­rest. In the fol­lo­wing, we will inform you about how we hand­le your per­so­nal data when you use our web­site. Per­so­nal data is all data with which you can be per­so­nal­ly identified. 

1.2 The con­trol­ler in char­ge of data pro­ces­sing on this web­site, within the mea­ning of the Gene­ral Data Pro­tec­tion Regu­la­ti­on (GDPR), is Call­cen­ter Com­Ca­re 360 GmbH, Vogel­sang 20C, 22926 Ahrens­burg, Mana­ging Direc­tor: Ingo Mar­ggraf, Cont­act: Pho­ne: +49 4102 7788770, Mail: info@comcare360.de. The con­trol­ler respon­si­ble for the pro­ces­sing of per­so­nal data is the natu­ral or legal per­son who alo­ne or joint­ly with others deter­mi­nes the pur­po­ses and means of the pro­ces­sing of per­so­nal data. 

1.3 This web­site uses SSL or TLS encryp­ti­on for secu­ri­ty reasons and to pro­tect the trans­mis­si­on of per­so­nal data and other con­fi­den­ti­al con­tent (e.g. orders or inqui­ries to the con­trol­ler). You can reco­gni­ze an encrypt­ed con­nec­tion by the cha­rac­ter string “https://” and the lock sym­bol in your brow­ser line. 

2) Data collection when visiting our website

If you use our web­site for infor­ma­ti­on pur­po­ses only, i.e. if you do not regis­ter or other­wi­se pro­vi­de us with infor­ma­ti­on, we only coll­ect the data that your brow­ser trans­mits to our ser­ver (so-cal­led “ser­ver log files”). When you visit our web­site, we coll­ect the fol­lo­wing data, which is tech­ni­cal­ly neces­sa­ry for us to dis­play the web­site to you: 

• Our visi­ted website
• Date and time at the time of access
• Amount of data sent in bytes
• Source/reference from which you rea­ched the page
• Brow­ser used
• Ope­ra­ting sys­tem used
• IP address used (if appli­ca­ble: in anony­mi­zed form)

The pro­ces­sing is car­ri­ed out in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR on the basis of our legi­ti­ma­te inte­rest in impro­ving the sta­bi­li­ty and func­tion­a­li­ty of our web­site. The data is not pas­sed on or used in any other way. Howe­ver, we reser­ve the right to check the ser­ver log files retro­s­pec­tively if the­re are con­cre­te indi­ca­ti­ons of unlawful use. 

3) Cookies

In order to make visi­ting our web­site attrac­ti­ve and to enable the use of cer­tain func­tions, we use so-cal­led coo­kies on various pages. The­se are small text files that are stored on your end device. Some of the coo­kies we use are dele­ted again at the end of the brow­ser ses­si­on, i.e. after you clo­se your brow­ser (so-cal­led ses­si­on coo­kies). Other coo­kies remain on your end device and enable us or our part­ner com­pa­nies (third-par­ty coo­kies) to reco­gni­ze your brow­ser on your next visit (per­sis­tent coo­kies). If coo­kies are set, they coll­ect and pro­cess cer­tain user infor­ma­ti­on such as brow­ser and loca­ti­on data and IP address values to an indi­vi­du­al ext­ent. Per­sis­tent coo­kies are auto­ma­ti­cal­ly dele­ted after a spe­ci­fied peri­od, which may vary depen­ding on the cookie. 

If per­so­nal data is also pro­ces­sed by indi­vi­du­al coo­kies imple­men­ted by us, the pro­ces­sing is car­ri­ed out in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR eit­her for the exe­cu­ti­on of the con­tract or in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR to safe­guard our legi­ti­ma­te inte­rests in the best pos­si­ble func­tion­a­li­ty of the web­site and a cus­to­mer-fri­end­ly and effec­ti­ve design of the page visit. 

We may work with adver­ti­sing part­ners who help us to make our web­site more inte­res­t­ing for you. For this pur­po­se, coo­kies from part­ner com­pa­nies are also stored on your hard disk when you visit our web­site (third-par­ty coo­kies). If we work tog­e­ther with the afo­re­men­tio­ned adver­ti­sing part­ners, you will be infor­med indi­vi­du­al­ly and sepa­ra­te­ly about the use of such coo­kies and the scope of the infor­ma­ti­on coll­ec­ted in each case in the fol­lo­wing paragraphs. 

Plea­se note that you can set your brow­ser so that you are infor­med about the set­ting of coo­kies and can deci­de indi­vi­du­al­ly whe­ther to accept them or to exclude the accep­tance of coo­kies for cer­tain cases or in gene­ral. Each brow­ser dif­fers in the way it mana­ges coo­kie set­tings. This is descri­bed in the help menu of each brow­ser, which explains how you can chan­ge your coo­kie set­tings. You can find the­se for the respec­ti­ve brow­sers under the fol­lo­wing links:

4) Making contact

Per­so­nal data is coll­ec­ted when you cont­act us (e.g. via cont­act form or email). Which data is coll­ec­ted in the case of a cont­act form can be seen from the respec­ti­ve cont­act form. This data is stored and used exclu­si­ve­ly for the pur­po­se of respon­ding to your request or for cont­ac­ting you and the asso­cia­ted tech­ni­cal admi­nis­tra­ti­on. The legal basis for the pro­ces­sing of this data is our legi­ti­ma­te inte­rest in respon­ding to your request in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. If your cont­act is aimed at con­clu­ding a con­tract, the addi­tio­nal legal basis for the pro­ces­sing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR. Your data will be dele­ted after final pro­ces­sing of your request. This is the case if it can be infer­red from the cir­cum­s­tances that the mat­ter in ques­ti­on has been con­clu­si­ve­ly cla­ri­fied and pro­vi­ded that the­re are no sta­tu­to­ry reten­ti­on obli­ga­ti­ons to the contrary. 

5) Registration with the portal or forum

You can regis­ter on our web­site by pro­vi­ding per­so­nal data. Which per­so­nal data is pro­ces­sed for regis­tra­ti­on is deter­mi­ned by the input mask used for regis­tra­ti­on. We use the so-cal­led dou­ble opt-in pro­ce­du­re for regis­tra­ti­on, i.e. your regis­tra­ti­on is not com­ple­te until you have con­firm­ed your regis­tra­ti­on by cli­cking on the link con­tai­ned in a con­fir­ma­ti­on e‑mail sent to you for this pur­po­se. If you do not con­firm your regis­tra­ti­on within 24 hours, your regis­tra­ti­on will be auto­ma­ti­cal­ly dele­ted from our data­ba­se. You must pro­vi­de the afo­re­men­tio­ned data. You can pro­vi­de all other infor­ma­ti­on vol­un­t­a­ri­ly by using our portal.

When you use our por­tal, we store your data requi­red for the ful­fill­ment of the con­tract, inclu­ding any infor­ma­ti­on on the method of pay­ment, until you final­ly dele­te your access. We also store the vol­un­t­a­ry data you pro­vi­de for the dura­ti­on of your use of the por­tal, unless you dele­te it before­hand. You can mana­ge and chan­ge all infor­ma­ti­on in the pro­tec­ted cus­to­mer area. The legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. 

In addi­ti­on, we store all con­tent published by you (such as public posts, bul­le­tin board ent­ries, guest­book ent­ries, etc.) in order to ope­ra­te the web­site. We have a legi­ti­ma­te inte­rest in pro­vi­ding the web­site with com­ple­te user-gene­ra­ted con­tent. The legal basis for this is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. If you dele­te your account, your public state­ments, espe­ci­al­ly in the forum, will remain visi­ble to all rea­ders, but your account will no lon­ger be acces­si­ble. All other data will be dele­ted in this case. 

6) Use of customer data for direct advertising

Adver­ti­sing by let­ter post

On the basis of our legi­ti­ma­te inte­rest in per­so­na­li­zed direct adver­ti­sing, we reser­ve the right to store your first and last name, your pos­tal address and – if we have recei­ved this addi­tio­nal infor­ma­ti­on from you as part of the con­trac­tu­al rela­ti­onship – your title, aca­de­mic degree, year of birth and your pro­fes­sio­nal, indus­try or busi­ness name in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR and to use them to send you inte­res­t­ing offers and infor­ma­ti­on about our pro­ducts by post. 

You can object to the sto­rage and use of your data for this pur­po­se at any time by sen­ding a cor­re­spon­ding mes­sa­ge to the controller.

7) Online marketing

7.1 Goog­le AdSense

This web­site uses Goog­le AdSen­se, a web adver­ti­sing ser­vice Goog­le Ire­land Limi­t­ed, Gor­don House, 4 Bar­row St, Dub­lin, D04 E5W5, Ire­land (“Goog­le”). Goog­le AdSen­se uses coo­kies, which are text files pla­ced on your com­pu­ter, to help the web­site ana­ly­ze how users use the site. In addi­ti­on, Goog­le AdSen­se also uses so-cal­led “web bea­cons” (small invi­si­ble gra­phics) to coll­ect infor­ma­ti­on, through the use of which simp­le actions such as visi­tor traf­fic on the web­site can be recor­ded, coll­ec­ted and ana­ly­zed. The infor­ma­ti­on gene­ra­ted by the coo­kie and/or web bea­con (inclu­ding your IP address) about your use of this web­site is usual­ly trans­mit­ted to a Goog­le ser­ver and stored the­re. This may also invol­ve trans­mis­si­on to the ser­vers of Goog­le LLC. in the USA. 

Goog­le uses the infor­ma­ti­on obtai­ned in this way to eva­lua­te your usa­ge beha­vi­or with regard to the AdSen­se ads. The IP address trans­mit­ted by your brow­ser as part of Goog­le AdSen­se will not be mer­ged with other Goog­le data. The infor­ma­ti­on coll­ec­ted by Goog­le may be trans­fer­red to third par­ties if this is requi­red by law and/or if third par­ties pro­cess this data on behalf of Google. 

The descri­bed pro­ces­sing of data is car­ri­ed out in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR for the pur­po­se of tar­ge­ted adver­ti­sing to the user by adver­ti­sing third par­ties who­se adver­ti­se­ments are dis­play­ed on this web­site on the basis of the eva­lua­ted user beha­vi­or. This pro­ces­sing also ser­ves our finan­cial inte­rest in exploi­ting the eco­no­mic poten­ti­al of our web­site by dis­play­ing per­so­na­li­zed third-par­ty adver­ti­sing con­tent for a fee. 

You can find more infor­ma­ti­on about Goo­g­le’s pri­va­cy poli­cy at the fol­lo­wing Inter­net address: https://www.google.de/policies/privacy/

You can per­ma­nent­ly deac­ti­va­te coo­kies for ad pre­fe­ren­ces by pre­ven­ting them by set­ting your brow­ser soft­ware accor­din­gly or you can down­load and install the brow­ser plug-in available at the fol­lo­wing link:
https://www.google.com/settings/ads/plugin?hl=de

Plea­se note that if you have deac­ti­va­ted the use of coo­kies, cer­tain func­tions of this web­site may not be available or may only be available to a limi­t­ed extent.

Inso­far as legal­ly requi­red, we have obtai­ned your con­sent to the pro­ces­sing of your data as descri­bed abo­ve in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. You can with­draw your con­sent at any time with effect for the future. To exer­cise your revo­ca­ti­on, plea­se fol­low the opti­on descri­bed abo­ve for making an objection. 

7.2 Use of Goog­le Ads con­ver­si­on tracking

This web­site uses the online adver­ti­sing pro­gram “Goog­le Ads” and, as part of Goog­le Ads, the con­ver­si­on track­ing of Goog­le Ire­land Limi­t­ed, Gor­don House, 4 Bar­row St, Dub­lin, D04 E5W5, Ire­land (“Goog­le”). We use Goog­le Ads to draw atten­ti­on to our attrac­ti­ve offers on exter­nal web­sites with the help of adver­ti­sing mate­ri­al (so-cal­led Goog­le Adwords). We can deter­mi­ne how suc­cessful the indi­vi­du­al adver­ti­sing mea­su­res are in rela­ti­on to the adver­ti­sing cam­paign data. Our aim is to show you adver­ti­sing that is of inte­rest to you, to make our web­site more inte­res­t­ing for you and to achie­ve a fair cal­cu­la­ti­on of the adver­ti­sing cos­ts incurred. 

The con­ver­si­on track­ing coo­kie is set when a user clicks on an ad pla­ced by Goog­le. Coo­kies are small text files that are stored on your end device. The­se coo­kies gene­ral­ly lose their vali­di­ty after 30 days and are not used for per­so­nal iden­ti­fi­ca­ti­on. If the user visits cer­tain pages of this web­site and the coo­kie has not yet expi­red, Goog­le and we can reco­gni­ze that the user cli­cked on the ad and was redi­rec­ted to this page. Each Goog­le Ads cus­to­mer recei­ves a dif­fe­rent coo­kie. Coo­kies can the­r­e­fo­re not be tra­cked via the web­sites of Goog­le Ads cus­to­mers. The infor­ma­ti­on coll­ec­ted using the con­ver­si­on coo­kie is used to gene­ra­te con­ver­si­on sta­tis­tics for Goog­le Ads cus­to­mers who have opted for con­ver­si­on track­ing. Cus­to­mers are told the total num­ber of users who cli­cked on their ad and were redi­rec­ted to a page with a con­ver­si­on track­ing tag. Howe­ver, they do not recei­ve any infor­ma­ti­on that can be used to per­so­nal­ly iden­ti­fy users. If you do not wish to par­ti­ci­pa­te in track­ing, you can block this use by deac­ti­vat­ing the Goog­le Con­ver­si­on Track­ing coo­kie via your Inter­net brow­ser under the key­word “User set­tings”. You will then not be included in the con­ver­si­on track­ing sta­tis­tics. We use Goog­le Ads on the basis of our legi­ti­ma­te inte­rest in tar­ge­ted adver­ti­sing in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. As part of the use of Goog­le Ads, per­so­nal data may also be trans­mit­ted to the ser­vers of Goog­le LLC. in the USA. 

You can find more infor­ma­ti­on about Goo­g­le’s pri­va­cy poli­cy at the fol­lo­wing Inter­net address: https://www.google.de/policies/privacy/

You can per­ma­nent­ly object to the set­ting of coo­kies by Goog­le Ads Con­ver­si­on Track­ing by down­loa­ding and instal­ling the brow­ser plug-in from Goog­le available at the fol­lo­wing link:
https://www.google.com/settings/ads/plugin?hl=de

Plea­se note that if you have deac­ti­va­ted the use of coo­kies, cer­tain func­tions of this web­site may not be available or may only be available to a limi­t­ed extent.

Inso­far as legal­ly requi­red, we have obtai­ned your con­sent to the pro­ces­sing of your data as descri­bed abo­ve in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. You can revo­ke your con­sent at any time with effect for the future. To exer­cise your revo­ca­ti­on, deac­ti­va­te this ser­vice in the “Coo­kie Con­sent Tool” pro­vi­ded on the web­site or alter­na­tively fol­low the opti­on descri­bed abo­ve to make an objection. 

7.3 Goog­le Mar­ke­ting Platform

This web­site uses the online mar­ke­ting tool Goog­le Mar­ke­ting Plat­form of the ope­ra­tor Goog­le Ire­land Limi­t­ed, Gor­don House, 4 Bar­row St, Dub­lin, D04 E5W5, Ire­land (“GMP”).

GMP uses 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. The pro­ces­sing is based on our legi­ti­ma­te inte­rest in the opti­mal mar­ke­ting of our web­site in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. 

In addi­ti­on, GMP 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 GMP ad and later visits the adver­ti­ser’s web­site using the same brow­ser and makes a purcha­se via this web­site. Accor­ding to Goog­le, GMP coo­kies do not con­tain any per­so­nal information. 

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 as fol­lows: By inte­gra­ting GMP, 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. When using GMP, per­so­nal data may also be trans­mit­ted to the ser­vers of Goog­le LLC. in the USA. 

If you wish to object to par­ti­ci­pa­ti­on in this track­ing pro­cess, you can deac­ti­va­te coo­kies for con­ver­si­on track­ing by set­ting your brow­ser to block coo­kies from the domain www.googleadservices.com (see https://www.google.de/settings/ads), wher­eby this set­ting will be dele­ted if you deac­ti­va­te your coo­kies. Alter­na­tively, you can obtain infor­ma­ti­on about the set­ting of coo­kies from the Digi­tal Adver­ti­sing Alli­ance at the Inter­net address www.aboutads.info and make your desi­red set­tings. Final­ly, you can set your brow­ser so that you are infor­med about the set­ting of coo­kies and deci­de indi­vi­du­al­ly whe­ther to accept them or to exclude the accep­tance of coo­kies for cer­tain cases or in gene­ral. If you do not accept coo­kies, the func­tion­a­li­ty of our web­site may be restricted. 

You can obtain fur­ther infor­ma­ti­on about the data pro­tec­tion pro­vi­si­ons of GMP by Goog­le at the fol­lo­wing Inter­net address: https://www.google.de/policies/privacy/

Inso­far as legal­ly requi­red, we have obtai­ned your con­sent to the pro­ces­sing of your data as descri­bed abo­ve in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. You can with­draw your con­sent at any time with effect for the future. To exer­cise your revo­ca­ti­on, plea­se fol­low the opti­on descri­bed abo­ve for making an objection. 

7.4 Lin­ke­dIn Mar­ke­ting Solutions

We use “Lin­ke­dIn Mar­ke­ting Solu­ti­ons” on our web­site, a ser­vice pro­vi­ded by Lin­ke­dIn Ire­land Unli­mi­t­ed Com­pa­ny, Wil­ton Pla­za, Wil­ton Place, Dub­lin 2, Ire­land (her­ein­af­ter “Lin­ke­dIn”). This makes it pos­si­ble to refer visi­tors to our web­site to fur­ther con­tent of our own based on their usa­ge beha­vi­or on the Lin­ke­dIn social net­work, which is likely to cor­re­spond to the respec­ti­ve user inte­rest. This con­tent is dis­play­ed on the basis of a coo­kie-based ana­ly­sis of pre­vious user beha­vi­or, but no per­so­nal data is stored. For this inte­rest-based con­tent deter­mi­na­ti­on, coo­kies, i.e. small text files, are stored on your com­pu­ter or mobi­le device in order to coll­ect pseud­ony­mi­zed data about your sur­fing beha­vi­or and thus adapt the con­tent indi­vi­du­al­ly to the stored infor­ma­ti­on.
If the infor­ma­ti­on coll­ec­ted and eva­lua­ted has a per­so­nal refe­rence, the pro­ces­sing is car­ri­ed out in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR on the basis of our legi­ti­ma­te inte­rest in dis­play­ing per­so­na­li­zed page con­tent and in mar­ket rese­arch.
The infor­ma­ti­on can be assi­gned to the per­son of the user with the help of fur­ther infor­ma­ti­on that Lin­ke­dIn has stored about the user, e.g. due to the owner­ship of an account on the social net­work “Lin­ke­dIn”. Lin­ke­dIn uses an algo­rithm to ana­ly­ze sur­fing beha­vi­or and can then dis­play tar­ge­ted pro­duct recom­men­da­ti­ons as per­so­na­li­zed adver­ti­sing ban­ners on the user’s Lin­ke­dIn account. Lin­ke­dIn may also com­bi­ne the infor­ma­ti­on coll­ec­ted via the coo­kies with other infor­ma­ti­on that Lin­ke­dIn has coll­ec­ted via other web­sites and / or in con­nec­tion with the use of the social net­work “Lin­ke­dIn” and thus crea­te pseud­ony­mi­zed user pro­files. Under no cir­cum­s­tances, howe­ver, can the infor­ma­ti­on coll­ec­ted be used to per­so­nal­ly iden­ti­fy visi­tors to this web­site.
You can pre­vent the coll­ec­tion of the afo­re­men­tio­ned infor­ma­ti­on by Lin­ke­dIn by set­ting an opt-out coo­kie on one of the fol­lo­wing lin­ked web­sites:
https://www.linkedin.com/psettings/guest-controls
Inso­far as legal­ly requi­red, we have obtai­ned your con­sent to the pro­ces­sing of your data as descri­bed abo­ve in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. You can revo­ke your con­sent at any time with effect for the future by deac­ti­vat­ing this ser­vice in the “Coo­kie Con­sent Tool” inte­gra­ted on this web­site.
Fur­ther infor­ma­ti­on on Lin­ke­dIn’s data pro­tec­tion regu­la­ti­ons can be found on the fol­lo­wing web­site: https://www.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy

8) Retargeting/ remarketing/ referral advertising

Goog­le Ads Remar­ke­ting
Our web­site uses the func­tions of Goog­le Ads Remar­ke­ting to adver­ti­se this web­site in Goog­le search results and on third-par­ty web­sites. The pro­vi­der is Goog­le Ire­land Limi­t­ed, Gor­don House, 4 Bar­row St, Dub­lin, D04 E5W5, Ire­land (“Goog­le”). For this pur­po­se, Goog­le sets a coo­kie in the brow­ser of your end device, which auto­ma­ti­cal­ly enables inte­rest-based adver­ti­sing by means of a pseud­ony­mous coo­kie ID and on the basis of the pages you visit. The pro­ces­sing is based on our legi­ti­ma­te inte­rest in the opti­mal mar­ke­ting of our web­site in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.
Any fur­ther data pro­ces­sing will only take place if you have con­sen­ted to Goog­le lin­king your Inter­net and app brow­sing histo­ry to your Goog­le Account and using infor­ma­ti­on from your Goog­le Account to per­so­na­li­ze ads you view on the web. In this case, if you are log­ged in to Goog­le while visi­ting our web­site, Goog­le will use your data tog­e­ther with Goog­le Ana­ly­tics data to crea­te and defi­ne tar­get group lists for cross-device remar­ke­ting. For this pur­po­se, Goog­le tem­po­r­a­ri­ly links your per­so­nal data with Goog­le Ana­ly­tics data to crea­te tar­get groups. As part of the use of Goog­le Ads Remar­ke­ting, per­so­nal data may also be trans­mit­ted to the ser­vers of Goog­le LLC. in the USA.
You can per­ma­nent­ly deac­ti­va­te the set­ting of coo­kies for ad pre­fe­ren­ces by down­loa­ding and instal­ling the brow­ser plug-in available at the fol­lo­wing link: https://www.google.com/settings/ads/onweb/
Alter­na­tively, you can obtain infor­ma­ti­on about the set­ting of coo­kies from the Digi­tal Adver­ti­sing Alli­ance at the Inter­net address www.aboutads.info and make set­tings for this pur­po­se. Final­ly, you can set your brow­ser so that you are infor­med about the set­ting of coo­kies and deci­de indi­vi­du­al­ly whe­ther to accept them or to exclude the accep­tance of coo­kies for cer­tain cases or in gene­ral. If you do not accept coo­kies, the func­tion­a­li­ty of our web­site may be rest­ric­ted.

9.3 – Word­fence
For secu­ri­ty pur­po­ses, this web­site uses the “Word­fence” plug­in, a ser­vice pro­vi­ded by Defi­ant Inc, 800 5th Ave Ste 4100, Seat­tle, WA 98104, USA (her­ein­af­ter “Word­fence”). The plug­in pro­tects the web­site and the asso­cia­ted IT infra­struc­tu­re from unaut­ho­ri­zed third-par­ty access, cyber­at­tacks, viru­s­es and mal­wa­re. Word­fence coll­ects the IP addres­ses of users and, if neces­sa­ry, other data on your beha­vi­or on our web­site (in par­ti­cu­lar URLs acces­sed and hea­der infor­ma­ti­on) in order to detect and ward off ille­gi­ti­ma­te page access and thre­ats. The IP address recor­ded is com­pared with a list of known atta­ckers. If the recor­ded IP address is reco­gni­zed as a secu­ri­ty risk, Word­fence can auto­ma­ti­cal­ly block it from acces­sing the site. The infor­ma­ti­on coll­ec­ted in this way is trans­fer­red to a ser­ver of Defi­ant Inc. in the USA and stored the­re.
The data pro­ces­sing descri­bed is car­ri­ed out in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR on the basis of our legi­ti­ma­te inte­rests in pro­tec­ting the web­site from harmful cyber attacks and in main­tai­ning struc­tu­ral and data inte­gri­ty and secu­ri­ty.
Defi­ant Inc. reli­es on the stan­dard data pro­tec­tion clau­ses pur­su­ant to Art. 46 sen­tence 2 lit. c GDPR as the legal basis for the trans­fer of data to the USA.
If visi­tors to the web­site have log­in rights, Word­fence also sets coo­kies (= small text files) on the visi­tor’s end device. The coo­kies can be used to read cer­tain loca­ti­on and device infor­ma­ti­on, which enables an assess­ment of whe­ther the log­in-aut­ho­ri­zed access ori­gi­na­tes from a legi­ti­ma­te per­son. At the same time, access rights can be eva­lua­ted via the coo­kies and released via an inter­nal site fire­wall accor­ding to the aut­ho­riza­ti­on level. Final­ly, the coo­kies are used to regis­ter irre­gu­lar access by site admi­nis­tra­tors from new devices or new loca­ti­ons and to noti­fy other admi­nis­tra­tors of this.
The­se coo­kies are only set if a user has log­in rights. Word­fence does not set coo­kies for site visi­tors wit­hout log­in aut­ho­riza­ti­on.
If per­so­nal data is pro­ces­sed via the coo­kies, the pro­ces­sing is car­ri­ed out in accordance with Art. 6 para.1 lit f. GDPR on the basis of our legi­ti­ma­te inte­rest in pre­ven­ting ille­gi­ti­ma­te access to the site admi­nis­tra­ti­on and pre­ven­ting unaut­ho­ri­zed admi­nis­tra­tor access.
We have con­cluded a data pro­ces­sing agree­ment with Defi­ant Inc. in which we obli­ge the com­pa­ny to pro­tect the data of site visi­tors and not to pass it on to third par­ties.
Fur­ther infor­ma­ti­on on the use of data by Defi­ant Inc. for Word­fence can be found in Word­fen­ce’s pri­va­cy poli­cy at https://www.wordfence.com/privacy-policy/.

Hot­jar is a tool for ana­ly­zing your user beha­vi­or on our web­site. Hot­jar allows us to record your mou­se and scroll move­ments and clicks, among other things. Hot­jar can also deter­mi­ne how long you remain with the mou­se poin­ter in a cer­tain posi­ti­on. Hot­jar uses this infor­ma­ti­on to crea­te so-cal­led heat maps, which can be used to deter­mi­ne which web­site are­as are pre­fer­red by the web­site visi­tor.
We can also deter­mi­ne how long you stay­ed on a page and when you left it. We can also deter­mi­ne at which point you aban­do­ned your ent­ries in a cont­act form (so-cal­led con­ver­si­on fun­nels).
Hot­jar can also be used to obtain direct feed­back from web­site visi­tors. This func­tion ser­ves to impro­ve the web­site ope­ra­tor’s web offe­rings.
Hot­jar uses coo­kies. Coo­kies are small text files that are stored on your com­pu­ter and saved by your brow­ser. They are used to make our web­site more user-fri­end­ly, effec­ti­ve and secu­re. In par­ti­cu­lar, the­se coo­kies can be used to deter­mi­ne whe­ther our web­site has been visi­ted with a spe­ci­fic end device or whe­ther the Hot­jar func­tions have been deac­ti­va­ted for the brow­ser in ques­ti­on. Hot­jar coo­kies remain on your end device until you dele­te them.
You can set your brow­ser so that you are infor­med about the set­ting of coo­kies and only allow coo­kies in indi­vi­du­al cases, exclude the accep­tance of coo­kies for cer­tain cases or in gene­ral and acti­va­te the auto­ma­tic dele­ti­on of coo­kies when clo­sing the brow­ser. If coo­kies are deac­ti­va­ted, the func­tion­a­li­ty of this web­site may be restricted. 

The use of Hot­jar and the sto­rage of Hot­jar coo­kies is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The web­site ope­ra­tor has a legi­ti­ma­te inte­rest in ana­ly­zing user beha­vi­or in order to opti­mi­ze both its web­site and its advertising.

11) Duration of storage of personal data

The dura­ti­on of the sto­rage of per­so­nal data is deter­mi­ned by the respec­ti­ve legal basis, the pur­po­se of pro­ces­sing and – if rele­vant – addi­tio­nal­ly by the respec­ti­ve sta­tu­to­ry reten­ti­on peri­od (e.g. reten­ti­on peri­ods under com­mer­cial and tax law).

When pro­ces­sing per­so­nal data on the basis of express con­sent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR, this data is stored until the data sub­ject with­draws their consent. 

If the­re are sta­tu­to­ry reten­ti­on peri­ods for data that is pro­ces­sed within the frame­work of legal or simi­lar obli­ga­ti­ons on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR, this data will be rou­ti­ne­ly dele­ted after the reten­ti­on peri­ods have expi­red, pro­vi­ded that it is no lon­ger requi­red for con­tract ful­fill­ment or con­tract initia­ti­on and/or we no lon­ger have a legi­ti­ma­te inte­rest in fur­ther storage. 

When pro­ces­sing per­so­nal data on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR, this data is stored until the data sub­ject exer­ci­s­es their right to object in accordance with Art. 21 para. 1 GDPR, unless we can demons­tra­te com­pel­ling legi­ti­ma­te grounds for the pro­ces­sing which over­ri­de the inte­rests, rights and free­doms of the data sub­ject, or the pro­ces­sing ser­ves the estab­lish­ment, exer­cise or defen­se of legal claims. 

When pro­ces­sing per­so­nal data for the pur­po­se of direct mar­ke­ting on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR, this data is stored until the data sub­ject exer­ci­s­es their right to object in accordance with Art. 21 para. 2 GDPR. 

Unless other­wi­se sta­ted in the other infor­ma­ti­on in this decla­ra­ti­on on spe­ci­fic pro­ces­sing situa­tions, stored per­so­nal data is dele­ted when it is no lon­ger neces­sa­ry for the pur­po­ses for which it was coll­ec­ted or other­wi­se processed.
