ESTA Extraction

T&Cs

We appreciate your interest in our website. The protection of your privacy is very important to us. Below we inform you in detail about the handling of your data.

Here you will find our German complete and current PRIVACY POLICY

 

PRIVACY NOTICE

 

1. General information
With the following information we would like to give you an overview of the processing of your personal data by us as well as your rights from the data protection laws. In principle, it is possible to use our Internet pages without entering personal data. However, if you wish 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 legal basis for such processing, we will generally obtain your consent.
The processing of personal data, such as your name, address, or e-mail address, is always in line with the German Data Protection Regulation (Datenschutz-Grundverordnung, DSGVO), and in accordance with the country-specific data protection regulations applicable to our company, such as the BDSG. By means of this privacy policy, we would like to inform you about the scope and purpose of the personal data collected, used and processed by us. In doing so, we use data protection terms as they are defined in the DSGVO.
As the controller, we have implemented numerous technical and organizational measures to ensure the most complete protection of personal data processed through this website. Nevertheless, Internet-based data transmissions can generally have security gaps, so that absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, you are free to transmit personal data to us by alternative means, for example by telephone or by mail.

3. Data protection officer
We have appointed a data protection officer for our company. You can contact our data protection officer directly at any time with all questions and suggestions regarding data protection on our websites. 
You can reach him by mail to the above address (please note 'Attn. Data Protection Officer' on the envelope), by e-mail at datenschutz@esta.com or confidentially via our data protection portal.

 

4. Legal basis of the processing
Art. 6(1)(a) DSGVO serves as our legal basis for processing operations where we need to obtain consent from you for a specific processing purpose.
If the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which you are a party, as is the case, for example, with processing operations that are necessary for a delivery of goods or the provision of another service or consideration, the processing is based on Art. 6 (1) lit. b DSGVO. The same applies to such processing operations that are necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures, for example in cases of inquiries about our products or services.
If we are subject to a legal obligation by which a processing of personal data becomes necessary, for example, for the fulfillment of tax or commercial law obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6 (1) lit. c DSGVO.
In rare cases, the processing of personal data might become necessary to protect vital interests of the data subject or another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor were to be injured on our premises and as a result 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. In that case, the processing would be based on Art. 6(1)(d) DSGVO.
Finally, processing operations could be based on Art. 6(1)(f) DSGVO. Processing operations are based on this legal basis if the processing is necessary to protect a legitimate interest of our municipality or a third party, provided that the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject are not overridden. Such processing operations are permitted to us in particular because they were specifically mentioned by the European legislator. In this respect, it took the view that a legitimate interest could be assumed if you are a customer of ours (recital 47 sentence 2 DSGVO).

 

5. Transmission of data to third parties
We do not transfer your personal data to third parties for purposes other than those listed below.
We will only pass on your personal data to third parties if:
1. you have given your express consent to this in accordance with Art. 6 (1) p. 1 lit. a DSGVO,
2. the disclosure is permissible under Art. 6 (1) p. 1 lit. f DSGVO to protect our legitimate interests and there is no reason to assume that you have an overriding interest worthy of protection in the non-disclosure of your data,
3. in the event that a legal obligation exists for the disclosure pursuant to Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. c DSGVO, and
4. this is legally permissible and necessary according to Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. b DSGVO for the processing of contractual relationships with you.
The processing operations described in this Privacy Policy may involve the transfer of personal data to the USA. The USA does not have an adequate level of data protection (ECJ - Schrems II). To protect your data, we have concluded commissioned processing agreements based on the European Commission's standard contractual clauses. If the standard contractual clauses are not sufficient to establish an adequate level of security, your consent can serve as a legal basis for the transfer to third countries in accordance with Art. 49 (1) a) DSGVO. This may not apply to data transfers to third countries for which the European Commission has issued an adequacy decision pursuant to Art. 45 DSGVO.

 

6. Technology
6.1 SSL/TLS encryption

This site uses SSL or TLS encryption to ensure the security of data processing and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders, login data or contact requests that you send to us as the operator. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser contains a "https://" instead of a "http://" and by the lock symbol in your browser line. We use this technology to protect your transmitted data.

6.2 Data collection when visiting the website
During the merely informational use of our website, i.e. if you do not register or otherwise transmit information to us, we only collect such data that your browser transmits to our server (in so-called "server log files"). Our website collects a series of general data and information with each call of a page by you or an automated system. This general data and information is stored in the server log files. The following data may be collected
- browser types and versions used,
- the operating system used by the accessing system,
- the website from which an accessing system arrives at our website (so-called referrer),
- the sub-websites that are accessed via an accessing system on our website,
- the date and time of an access to our website
- an abbreviated Internet protocol address (anonymized IP address) and,
- the Internet service provider of the accessing system.

When using this general data and information, we do not draw any conclusions about your person. Rather, this information is required in order to
- to deliver the contents of our website correctly,
- to optimize the content of our website as well as the advertising for it,
- to ensure the long-term functionality of our IT systems and the technology of our website, and
- to provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for prosecution in the event of a cyber attack.

The data and information collected are therefore evaluated by us, on the one hand, statistically and, on the other hand, with the aim of increasing the data protection and data security of our enterprise so as 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 any personal data provided by a data subject.
The legal basis for the data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO. Our legitimate interest follows from the purposes for data collection listed above.

 

7. Cookies
7.1 General information about cookies

We use cookies on our website. These are data records as information that your browser automatically creates and that are stored on your IT system or end device (laptop, tablet, smartphone or similar) when you visit our site.
In the cookie, information is stored in a database that results in each case from the context of the specific end device used. This does not mean, however, that we thereby gain direct knowledge of your identity.
The use of cookies serves to make the use of our offer more pleasant for you. For example, we use so-called session cookies to recognize that you have already visited individual pages of our website. These are automatically deleted after you leave our site.
In addition, we also use temporary cookies to optimize user-friendliness, which are stored on your terminal device for a certain fixed period of time. If you visit our site again to use our services, it is automatically recognized that you have already been with us and which entries and settings you have made so that you do not have to enter them again.
On the other hand, we use cookies to statistically record the use of our website and to evaluate our offer for you for the purpose of optimization. These cookies enable us to automatically recognize that you have already visited our website when you visit it again. The cookies set in this way are automatically deleted after a defined period of time. The respective storage period of the cookies can be taken from the settings of the consent tool used.

7.2 Legal basis for the use of cookies
The data processed by the cookies, which are required for the proper functioning of the website, are thus necessary to protect our legitimate interests and those of third parties in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. f DSGVO.
For all other cookies, it applies that you have given your consent to this within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) lit. a DSGVO via our opt-in cookie banner.
In the cookie declaration, you can check the status of your consent and change it if necessary.

7.3 Notes on avoiding cookies in common browsers
You have the option of deleting cookies, only allowing selected cookies or completely deactivating cookies at any time via the settings of the browser you are using. You can find more information on the support pages of the respective providers:  
- Chrome: https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/95647?tid=311178978.
- Safari: https://support.apple.com/de-at/guide/safari/sfri11471/mac?tid=311178978.
- Firefox: https://support.mozilla.org/de/kb/cookies-und-website-daten-in-firefox-loschen?tid=311178978.

7.4 Cookiebot (Consent Management Tool)
We use the consent management tool "Cookiebot" from Cybot A/S, Havnegade 39, 1058 Copenhagen, Denmark. This service allows us to collect and manage the consent of website visitors to data processing.
Cookiebot collects data generated by end users who use our website. When an end-user provides consent via the cookie consent tool, Cookiebot automatically logs the following data:
- The end user's IP number in anonymized form (the last three digits are set to 0).
- Date and time of consent.
- User agent of the end user's browser.
- The URL from which the consent was sent.
- An anonymous, random and encrypted key.
- The consent status of the end user, which serves as proof of consent.
The key and consent status are also stored in the end user's browser in the cookie "CookieConsent" so that the website can automatically read and follow the end user's consent in all subsequent page requests and future end user sessions for up to 12 months. The key is used for proof of consent and for an option to verify that the consent status stored in the end user's browser is unchanged from the original consent submitted to Cybot.
The functionality of the website is not guaranteed without the processing. The "CookieConsent" cookie set by Cookiebot is classified as necessary. Cybot is a recipient of your personal data and acts as a processor for us. Detailed information on the use of Cookiebot can be found at: https://www.cookiebot.com/de/privacy-policy/.

You can access the detailed cookie declaration of Cookiebot here.

 

8. Contents of our website
8.1 Contact / Contact form

For questions of any kind, we offer you the opportunity to contact us via a form provided on the website. In doing so, it is necessary to provide a valid e-mail address and a name so that we know from whom the inquiry originates and so that we can answer it. The other data collected can be seen from the respective contact form. This data is stored and used exclusively for the purpose of answering your request or for contacting you and the associated technical administration. The legal basis for the processing of the data is our legitimate interest in responding to your request in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f DSGVO. 
If your contact aims at the conclusion of a contract, the additional legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b DSGVO. 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 concerned has been conclusively clarified and provided that there are no legal storage obligations to the contrary. Alternatively, you can also contact us directly informally and request us to delete it.

8.2 Sendinblue
This website uses Sendinblue to send newsletters. The provider is Sendinblue GmbH, Köpeni-cker Str. 126, 10179 Berlin, Germany. Sendinblue is a service with which, among other things, the sending of newsletters can be organized and analyzed. The data you enter for the purpose of receiving the newsletter is stored on Sendinblue's servers in Germany.
If you do not want Sendinblue to analyze your data, you must unsubscribe from the newsletter. For this purpose, we provide a corresponding link in each newsletter message. Furthermore, you can also unsubscribe from the newsletter directly on the website. You can revoke the consent you have given at any time. You can also prevent the processing at any time by unsubscribing from the newsletter. You can also prevent the storage of cookies by setting your web browser accordingly. You can also prevent the storage and transmission of personal data by deactivating JavaScript in your web browser or installing a JavaScript blocker (e.g. https://noscript.net or https://www.ghostery.com). We would like to point out that these measures may mean that not all functions of our website are available.

With the help of Sendinblue, it is possible for us to analyze our newsletter campaigns. For example, we can see whether a newsletter message has been opened and which links, if any, have been clicked. In this way, we can determine, among other things, which links have been clicked on particularly frequently.
In addition, we can see whether certain previously defined actions have been performed after opening/clicking (conversion rate). For example, we can see whether you have made a purchase after clicking on the newsletter.
Sendinblue also allows us to divide the newsletter recipients into different categories (so-called "clustering"). In doing so, the newsletter recipients can be subdivided by age, gender or place of residence, for example. In this way, the newsletters can be better adapted to the respective target groups.
The data processing is based on your consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. a DSGVO. You can revoke this consent at any time. The legality of the data processing operations already carried out remains unaffected by the revocation. The data you provide for the purpose of receiving the newsletter will be stored by us until you unsubscribe from the newsletter and will be deleted from our servers as well as from the servers of Sendinblue after you unsubscribe from the newsletter. Data stored by us for other purposes (e.g. e-mail addresses for the member area) remain unaffected by this.
The privacy policy of Sendinblue can be viewed at: https://de.sendinblue.com/datenschutz-uebersicht/

8.3 Contact via e-mail
If you contact us via one of the e-mail addresses provided by us, the personal data provided by you will be processed exclusively for the purpose of processing your respective inquiry, for correspondence with you, as well as for the possible initiation and substantiation of a contract with you pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b DSGVO. The personal data collected will be automatically deleted after completion of your request; this is the case if it can be inferred from the circumstances that the matter concerned has been conclusively clarified and provided that there are no statutory storage obligations to the contrary.

 

9. Our activities in social networks
So that we can also communicate with you in social networks and inform you about our services, we are represented there with our own pages. If you visit one of our social media pages, we are jointly responsible for the processing operations triggered by this, within the meaning of Art. 26 DSGVO, with the provider of the respective social media platform.
We are not the original provider of these pages, but merely use them within the scope of the possibilities offered to us by the respective providers.
As a precaution, we therefore point out that your data may also be processed outside the European Union or the European Economic Area. Use may therefore be associated with data protection risks for you, as it may be more difficult to protect your rights, e.g. to information, deletion, objection, etc., and processing in the social networks often takes place directly for advertising purposes or for analysis of user behavior by the providers, without this being able to be influenced by us. If usage profiles are created by the provider, this often involves the use of cookies or the assignment of usage behavior to your own member profile of the social networks.
The described processing operations of personal data are carried out in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f DSGVO on the basis of our legitimate interest and the legitimate interest of the respective provider in order to be able to communicate with you in a timely manner or to inform you about our services. If you have to give your consent to data processing as a user with the respective providers, the legal basis refers to Art. 6 (1) lit. a DSGVO in conjunction with.

Art. 7 DSGVO
Since we do not have access to the providers' databases, we would like to point out that it is best to assert your rights (e.g. to information, correction, deletion, etc.) directly with the respective provider. Further information on the processing of your data in the social networks and the possibility of exercising your right of objection or revocation (so-called opt-out), we have listed below the respective provider of social networks used by us:

10. Web analytics
10.1 Google Analytics
Attention - please note and reconsider the given hints regarding the questionable data protection conformity of GA. We recommend to use e.g. Matomo self-hosted instead. If you do want to use GA, you must ensure IP masking, effective consent and a functioning opt-out, in addition to the necessary contracts with Google, which must be documented by you.
On our websites, we use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited (https://www.google.de/intl/de/about/), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland ("Google"). In this context, pseudonymized usage profiles are created and cookies (see point "Cookies") are used. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website such as.
1. the browser type/version,
2. the operating system used,
3. the referrer URL (the previously visited page),
4. the host name of the accessing computer (IP address) and
5. time of the server request,
are transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. The information is used to evaluate the use of the website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide other services related to the use of the website and the Internet for the purposes of market research and demand-oriented design of these Internet pages. This information may also be transferred to third parties if this is required by law or if third parties process this data on our behalf. Under no circumstances will your IP address be merged with other Google data. The IP addresses are anonymized so that an assignment is not possible (IP masking).
You may refuse the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser, however please note that if you do this you may not be able to use the full functionality of this website.
These processing operations are carried out exclusively when express consent is given in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a DSGVO.
You can also prevent the collection of data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) and the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing a browser add-on (https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de ).
As an alternative to the browser add-on, especially for browsers on mobile devices, you can also prevent the collection by Google Analytics by clicking on the following link: Deactivate Google Analytics. 
Include function gaOptout() command to set the opt-out cookie; 
iSv. /esta/nojavascript...gaOptout()
An opt-out cookie will be set that will prevent future collection of your data when visiting this website. The opt-out cookie is valid only in this browser and only for our website and is stored on your device. If you delete the cookies in this browser, you must set the opt-out cookie again.

11. Advertising
11.1 Google Ads

Our website uses the functions of Google Ads, hereby we advertise for this website in Google search results, as well as on third-party websites. The provider is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland ("Google"). For this purpose, Google sets a cookie in the browser of your terminal device, which automatically enables interest-based advertising by means of a pseudonymous cookie ID and on the basis of the pages you have visited.
Additional data processing only takes 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 the ads you see 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 form target groups.

You can permanently disable 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 here. Finally, you can set your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies and decide individually about their acceptance or exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general. We would like to point out that these measures may mean that not all functions of our website are available.
These processing operations are carried out exclusively when explicit consent is given in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a DSGVO .
You can view the data protection provisions and further information from Google Ads at: https://www.google.com/policies/technologies/ads/.

11.2 Google Ads with conversion tracking
We have integrated Google Ads on this website. The operating company of the Google Ads services is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. Google Ads is an Internet advertising service that allows advertisers to place ads in Google's search engine results as well as in the Google advertising network. Google Ads allows an advertiser to specify certain keywords in advance, by means of which an ad is displayed in Google's search engine results exclusively when the user retrieves a keyword-relevant search result with the search engine. In the Google advertising network, the ads are distributed to topic-relevant websites by means of an automatic algo-rithm and in compliance with the previously defined keywords.
The purpose of Google Ads is to promote our website by displaying interest-relevant advertising on the websites of third-party companies and in the search engine results of the Google search engine and to display third-party advertising on our website.
If you reach our website via a Google advertisement, a so-called conversion cookie is stored on your IT system by Google. A conversion cookie loses its validity after thirty days and is not used to identify you. If the cookie has not yet expired, the conversion cookie is used to track whether certain sub-pages, for example the shopping cart of an online store system, have been called up on our website. The conversion cookie enables both us and Google to track whether a user who arrived on our website via an AdWords ad generated a sale, i.e. completed or cancelled a purchase.
The data and information collected through the use of the conversion cookie are used by Google to compile visit statistics for our website. These visit statistics are in turn used by us to determine the total number of users who were referred to us via ads, i.e. to determine the success or failure of the respective ads and to optimize our ads for the future. Neither our company nor other advertisers of Google Ads receive information from Google by means of which you could be identified.
By means of the conversion cookie, personal information, such as the web pages you visit, is stored. Each time you visit our website, personal data, including the IP address of the internet connection you are using, is transmitted to Google in the United States of America. This personal data is stored by Google in the United States of America.
Google may pass on this personal data collected via the technical procedure to third parties.
You can prevent the setting of cookies by our website at any time by means of an appropriate setting of the Internet browser used and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Such a setting of the Internet browser used would also prevent Google from setting a conversion cookie on your IT system. In addition, a cookie already set by Google Ads can be deleted at any time via the internet browser or other software programs. Furthermore, you have the option to object to interest-based advertising by Google. To do this, you must call up the link www.google.de/settings/ads from your Internet browser and make the desired settings there. We would like to point out that these measures may mean that not all functions of our website are available.
These processing operations are carried out exclusively with the granting of explicit consent in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a DSGVO .
You can view the data protection provisions and further information from Google AdSense at: https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/.

11.3 MATELSO phone number tracking
We use so-called "tracking phone number" of Matelso GmbH, Heilbronner Str. 150, 70191 Stutt-gart ("MaTelSo"), to measure the behavior of callers. For example, a tracking phone number is displayed in Google AdWords ads instead of your phone number. If a user calls this tracking phone number, he is automatically forwarded to your original phone number.
The forwarding of the call is done by Matelso GmbH, measuring how often the individual tracking phone number was called and from which phone number. After the phone call, Matelso GmbH transmits the following data to us:
- Called tracking phone number
- Telephone number of the caller, if not suppressed
- Telephone number of the called party
- Start of the call and duration
In conjunction with Google AdWords conversion tracking and a pool of tracking numbers, it is possible to associate the call to the tracking phone number placed for you with the clicked advertisement. This allows us to statistically evaluate the advertising campaigns that have been placed. After the contract has expired, we automatically delete the data with a transition period of 3 months. Notes on data protection at Matelso: https://www.matelso.com/privacy-statement.

 

12. Plugins and other services
12.1 Google Maps

Please note the information already sent regarding the problematic use of G.Maps and the associated data transfer to the USA and the reloading of fonts. Please consider whether there is an alternative to G.Maps with the possible solutions described or whether it is not possible to do without it altogether.
On our website we use Google Maps (API). The operating company of Google Maps is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. Google Ireland Limited is part of the Google group of companies with headquarters at 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. Google Maps is a web service for displaying interactive (land) maps in order to visually present geographical information. By using this service, our location can be displayed to you, for example, and a possible journey can be made easier.
When you call up those sub-pages in which the Google Maps map is integrated, information about your use of our website (such as your IP address) is transmitted to Google servers in the USA and stored there. This occurs regardless of whether Google provides a user account through which you are logged in or whether no user account exists. If you are logged in to Google, your data will be directly assigned to your account. If you do not want the assignment with your profile at Google, you must log out of your Google user account. Google stores your data (even for users who are not logged in) as usage profiles and evaluates them. You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles, and you must contact Google to exercise this right.
If you do not agree to the future transmission of your data to Google in the context of the use of Google Maps, you also have the option of completely disabling the Google Maps web service by turning off the JavaScript application in your browser. Google Maps and thus also the map display on this website can then not be used.
These processing operations are carried out exclusively when explicit consent is given in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a DSGVO.
You can view Google's terms of use at www.google.de/intl/de/policies/terms/regional.html, the additional terms of use for Google Maps can be found at https://www.google.com/intl/de_US/help/terms_maps.html
You can view the privacy policy of Google Maps at: ("Google Privacy Policy"): https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/.

12.2 Google reCAPTCHA
Please note the information already sent regarding the problematic use of Google reCAPTCHA and the associated data transfer to the USA. It is important to ensure that no tools / third-party scripts or the like already excluded by CMP are reloaded. We strongly recommend alternative safeguards, providers / honeypot solutions. 
On this website we use the reCAPTCHA function. The operating company of Google reCAPTCHA is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. Google Ireland Limited is part of the Google group of companies with headquarters at 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. The reCAP-TCHA function is primarily used to distinguish whether an entry is made by a natural person or is misused by machine and automated processing. The service also includes the sending of the IP address and, if applicable, other data required by Google for the reCAPTCHA service to Google.
These processing operations are carried out exclusively when explicit consent is given in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a DSGVO.
Further information on Google reCAPTCHA and Google's privacy policy can be found at: https://www.google.com/intl/de/policies/privacy/.

12.3 Google Tag Manager
Please note the information already sent regarding the problematic use of the Google Tag Manager and the associated data transfer to the USA. It is important to ensure that no tools / third-party scripts or the like that have already been excluded via CMP are reloaded.
On this website we use the Google Tag Manager service. The operating company of Google Tag Manager is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. Google Ireland Limited is part of the Google group of companies with headquarters at 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.
Through this tool, "website tags" (i.e. keywords that are embedded in HTML elements) can be implemented and managed via an interface. By using the Google Tag Manager, we can automatically track which button, link or personalized image you have actively clicked on and can then record which contents of our website are of particular interest to you.
The tool also triggers other tags, which in turn may collect data. Google Tag Manager does not access this data. If you have opted out at the domain or cookie level, this will remain in effect for all tracking tags implemented with Google Tag Manager.
These processing operations will only take place if you have given your explicit consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. a DSGVO.
Further information on Google Tag Manager and Google's privacy policy can be found at: https://www.google.com/intl/de/policies/privacy/.

12.4 YouTube (videos)
We have integrated YouTube components on this website. The operating company of YouTube is YouTu-be, LLC, 901 Cherry Ave, San Bruno, CA 94066, USA. YouTube, LLC is a subsidiary of Google Ireland Li-mited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.
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 on them, also free of charge. YouTube allows the publication of all types of videos, which is why complete film and television programs, but also music videos, trailers or videos made by users themselves can be accessed via the Internet portal. Each time you call up one of the individual pages of this website operated by us on which a YouTube component (YouTube video) has been integrated, the Internet browser on your IT system is automatically prompted by the respective YouTube component to download a representation of the corresponding YouTube component from YouTube. Further information on Y-ouTube can be found at https://www.youtube.com/yt/about/de/. Within the scope of this technical procedure, YouTube and Google receive information about which specific sub-page of our website is visited by you.
If you are logged in to YouTube at the same time, YouTube recognizes which specific sub-page of our website you are visiting when you call up a sub-page that contains a YouTube video. This information is collected by YouTube and Google and assigned to your YouTube account.
YouTube and Google always receive information via the YouTube component that you have visited our website if you are logged into YouTube at the same time as calling up our website; this takes place regardless of whether you click on a YouTube video or not. If you do not want this information to be transmitted to YouTube and Google, you can prevent the transmission by logging out of your YouTube account before accessing our website.
These processing operations are carried out exclusively with the granting of explicit consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO .

13. Your rights as a data subject
As a data subject, you have the following rights in detail:
Right to information (Art. 15 DSGVO).
As a data subject, you have a right to information under the conditions of Art. 15 DSGVO. This means in particular that you have the right to request confirmation from us as to whether we are processing personal data relating to you. If this is the case, you also have a right to information about this personal data and to the information listed in Art. 15 (1) DSGVO.

 

Right to rectification (Art. 16 DSGVO)
As a data subject, you have a right to rectification under the conditions of Art.16 DSGVO. This means in particular that you have the right to demand that we correct any inaccurate personal data relating to you and complete any incomplete personal data without undue delay.

 

Right to erasure' Right to be forgotten (Art. 17 DSGVO).
As a data subject, you have a right to erasure under the conditions of Art. 17 DSGVO. This means that you generally have the right to demand that we delete personal data relating to you without undue delay, and we are obliged to delete personal data without undue delay if one of the reasons listed in Art. 17(1) DSGVO applies. To the extent that we have made the personal data public and we are obliged to erase it, we are also obliged to take reasonable measures, including technical measures, having regard to the available technology and the cost of implementation, to inform other data controllers processing the personal data that a data subject has requested that they erase all links to or copies or replications of such personal data (Art. 17(2) DSGVO). Exceptionally, the right to erasure does not apply insofar as the processing is necessary for the reasons listed in Art. 17(3) DSGVO. This may be the case, for example, insofar as the processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation or for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims (Art. 17(3)(a), (e) DSGVO).

 

Right to restriction of processing (Art. 18 DSGVO).
As a data subject, you have a right to restriction of processing under the conditions of Art. 18 DSGVO. This may be the case, for example, if you dispute the accuracy of the personal data. In this case, the restriction of processing is carried out for a period that allows us to verify the accuracy of the personal data (Art. 18 (1) a DSGVO ). Restriction means the marking of stored personal data with the aim of limiting their future processing (Art. 4 No. 3 DSGVO).

 

Right to data portability (Art. 20 GDPR)
As a data subject, you have a right to data portability under the conditions of Art. 20 DSGVO. This means that you generally have the right to receive the personal data concerning you that you have provided to us in a structured, common and machine-readable format, and you have the right to transfer this data to another controller without hindrance from us, provided that the processing is based on consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) or Art. 9(2)(a) DSGVO or on a contract pursuant to Art. 6(1)(b) DSGVO and the processing is carried out with the aid of automated procedures (Art. 20(1) DSGVO). 
When exercising your right to data portability, you also have the fundamental right to obtain that the personal data be transferred directly from us to another controller, insofar as this is technically feasible (Art. 20 (2) GDPR).

 

Right to object (Art. 21 DSGVO).
As a data subject, you have the right to object under the conditions of Art. 21 DSGVO. We expressly point out your right to object to you as a data subject at the latest at the time of the first communication with you.
In detail, the following applies:
Right to object on grounds relating to the particular situation of the data subject.
As a data subject, you have the right to object at any time, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to the processing of personal data concerning you which is carried out on the basis of Article 6(1)(e) or (f) DSGVO; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions.
In the event of an objection on grounds relating to your particular situation, we will no longer process the personal data concerned unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves to assert, exercise or defend legal claims.

Right to object to direct marketing
If personal data are processed for the purpose of direct marketing, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you for the purpose of such marketing; this also applies to profiling, insofar as it is related to such direct marketing. In the event of an objection to processing for direct marketing purposes, we will no longer process the personal data concerned for these purposes.

 

Right to withdraw consent (Art. 7 (3) DSGVO)
If the processing is based on consent within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) (a) or Art. 9 (2) (a) DSGVO, you as the data subject have the right to revoke your consent at any time in accordance with Art. 7 (3) DSGVO. The revocation of consent does not affect the lawfulness of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent until the revocation. We will inform you of this before you give your consent.

 

Right to complain to the supervisory authority (Art. 77 DSGVO).
As a data subject, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority under the conditions of Art. 77 DSGVO.
Our data protection officer is also available to you at any time to clarify any questions you may have about data processing with you or to help you further with your data protection concerns.

14. Routine storage, deletion and blocking of personal data.

If the storage purpose ceases to apply or if a prescribed storage period expires, the personal data will be routinely blocked or deleted in accordance with the statutory provisions.
