DATA PROTECTION

The protection of your personal data is of particular concern to us. I process your data exclusively on the basis of the legal provisions (DSG 2018, GDPR, TKG 2003). In this data protection information, I inform you about the most important aspects of data processing within the scope of my website.

Please read this statement carefully, as it explains how I collect, process, or store your personal data. Every access to my website and every retrieval of a file stored on it is logged. The storage serves internal system-related and statistical purposes. The following data is logged: name of the retrieved file, date, time of access, data volume transferred, message about successful access, web browser, requesting domain, IP address of the requesting computer, search terms, (...)*. I process and store all personal data that you transmit to us within the scope of email inquiries (e.g., name, address, email address, phone number, etc.) for the purpose of conducting the contact requested by you and for further customer relationship management. This data is stored with us until you request its deletion in writing.

Additional personal data will only be collected if you provide it voluntarily, within the scope of an inquiry or registration or to conclude a contract, or through your browser settings. If I pass on data to external service providers, I take appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure that the transfer is carried out in accordance with the legal data protection provisions.

These are: browser type/version, operating system used, referrer URL (the previously visited page), host name of the accessing computer (IP address), time of the server request. This data cannot be assigned to specific persons by the provider. This data is not combined with other data sources, and is only used for statistical analysis.

6. FACEBOOK-PIXEL

6.1. On the pages of my website, Remarketing tags (Visitor Action Pixels, also known as Facebook Pixels) from the social network Facebook, operated by Facebook Inc., 1601 South California Avenue, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA ("Facebook"), are integrated.

6.2. The pixel is a cookie used for tracking purposes and serves for conversion tracking. With the help of the pixel, we can track the actions of Facebook users on my website after they have seen or clicked on an ad from me on Facebook. This allows me to better measure the effectiveness of my advertisements for statistical and market research purposes.

6.3. The data I collect in this manner is anonymous. This means that I do not receive personally identifiable data from individual users.

6.4. The collected data is also stored and processed by Facebook. We would like to point out that as website operators, we are only aware of the content of the data transmitted to Facebook and its use by Facebook, to the extent that Facebook provides information on this in its data policy: https://www.facebook.com/full_data_use_policy. Consequently, Facebook can link this data to your Facebook account and also use it for its advertising purposes. You can also enable Facebook (and its partners) to display ads on and off Facebook.

6.5. The pixel results in a data exchange between Facebook servers in the USA and the EU and us. The transfer of personal data between the USA and the EU is generally permitted based on the adequacy decision of the European Commission C(2016)4176 (EU-US Privacy Shield) in accordance with Article 45(1) of the GDPR. Facebook has committed to this agreement: https://www.privacyshield.gov/EU-US-Framwork.

6.6. The legal basis for data processing by the pixel is Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR. Facebook requires your explicit consent for the Visitor Action Pixel to become active and subsequently to store a tracking cookie on your computer. This consent can only be given by users who are 13 years of age or older. If you are younger, you need the consent of your legal guardian. The legal basis for data processing related to the pixel and advertising is also Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. My legitimate interest lies in direct marketing (Recital 47 of the GDPR).
