Use of Google Ads incl. conversion tracking

With your consent, we use the Google Ads offer from Google to draw attention to our attractive offers with the help of advertising media on external websites. We can determine how successful the individual advertising measures are in relation to the data of the advertising campaigns.
These advertisements are delivered by Google via so-called "ad servers". For this purpose, we use ad server cookies, which can be used to measure certain parameters for measuring success, such as display of the ads or clicks by users. If you access our website via a Google ad, Google Ads will store a cookie on your end device. These cookies usually lose their validity after 6 0 days and are not intended to identify you. The unique cookie ID, number of ad impressions per placement (frequency), last impression (relevant for post-view conversions) and opt-out information (marking that the user no longer wishes to be addressed) are usually stored as analysis values for this cookie.
These cookies enable Google to recognize your internet browser. If a user visits certain pages of the website of a Google Ads customer and the cookie stored on his computer has not yet expired, Google and the customer can recognize that the user clicked on the ad and was redirected to this page. A different cookie is assigned to each Google Ads customer. We only receive statistical evaluations from Google to measure the success of our advertising media.
Due to the marketing tools used, your browser automatically establishes a direct connection with Google's server. We have no influence on the scope and further processing of the data collected by Google through the use of this tool and therefore inform you according to our state of knowledge: Through the integration of AdWords Conversion, Google receives the information that you have called up the corresponding part of our website or clicked on an ad 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, there is the possibility that the provider learns your IP address and stores it.
The legal basis for the processing of your data is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO (consent). The storage period at Google is a maximum of eighteen months . Further information on data protection at Google can be found here: https://www.google.com/intl/de/policies/privacy and https://services.google.com/sitestats/de.html .

Use of Google Remarketing

In addition to Ads with Conversion, we use the Google Remarketing application from Google. This is a procedure with which we would like to address you again. Through this application, our advertisements can be displayed to you during your further internet use after visiting our website. This is done by means of cookies stored in your browser, which Google uses to record and evaluate your usage behavior when you visit various websites. In this way, Google can determine your previous visit to our website. According to its own statements, Google does not combine the data collected in the course of remarketing with your personal data, which may be processed by Google. In particular, according to Google, pseudonymization is used in remarketing.
The legal basis for the processing is your consent - Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO. We have no knowledge of the storage period at Google and no possibility to influence it.

We are jointly responsible for the use of our Facebook and Instagram offers with Meta Platforms Ireland Limited - hereinafter referred to as Meta - , 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland, https://www.facebook.com/help/contact/540977946302970 , as joint controller pursuant to Art. 26 DSGVO and the Facebook Page Insights Supplement (https://www.facebook.com/legal/terms/page_controller_addendum ). Meta processes (personal) data when using Meta products - including when visiting our Facebook or Instagram page - even from persons who are not registered with any of the Meta services. Which (personal) data these are in detail, how, for which purposes and on which legal basis they are processed, is described by Meta in its data policy.

Use of our Twitter service

We use the technical platform and services of Twitter Inc, 1355 Market Street, Suite 900, San Francisco, CA 94103 U.S.A. for the short message service offered here. The responsible party for the data processing of persons living outside the United States is Twitter International Company, One Cumberland Place, Fenian Street, Dublin 2 D02 AX07, Ireland. We would like to point out that you use the Twitter short message service offered here and its functions on your own responsibility. This applies in particular to the use of the interactive functions (e.g. sharing, rating). Information about which data is processed by Twitter and for which purposes can be found in Twitter's privacy policy: https://twitter.com/de/privacy We have no influence on the type and scope of the data processed by Twitter, the type of processing and use or the transfer of this data to third parties. We also have no effective control options in this respect. With the use of Twitter, your personal data will be processed by Twitter Inc. regardless of your residence in the United States, Ireland, and any other country in which Twitter Inc. conducts business. On the one hand, Twitter processes your voluntarily entered data such as name and user name, e-mail address, telephone number or the contacts of your address book when you upload or synchronize it. On the other hand, Twitter also evaluates the content you share to determine what topics you are interested in. Stores and processes confidential messages that you send directly to other users and can determine your location based on location data, wireless network information, or your IP address in order to send you advertising or other content. Twitter Inc. may use analysis tools such as Twitter Analytics or Google Analytics for evaluation purposes. We have no influence on the use of such tools by Twitter Inc. If tools of this type are used by Twitter Inc., we have neither commissioned this nor approved or supported this in any other way. Nor are the data obtained from this analysis made available to us. Only certain non-personal information about tweet activity, such as the number of profile or link clicks through a particular tweet, is viewable in our account. We have no way to prevent or disable the use of such tools on their Twitter account. Since Twitter Inc. is a non-European provider with a European branch only in Ireland, it is bound by European data protection regulations. This concerns, for example, your rights to information, blocking or deletion of data or the possibility to object to the use of usage data for advertising purposes. You have options for restricting the processing of your data in the general settings of your Twitter account and under the item "Privacy and security". In addition, you can restrict Twitter's access to contact and calendar data, photos, location data, etc. on mobile devices (smartphones, tablet computers) in the settings options there. However, this depends on the operating system used. More information on these items is available on the following Twitter support pages: - https://support.twitter.com/articles/105576# - https://help.twitter.com/de/search?q=datenschut z You can find out about the possibility of viewing your own data on Twitter here: https://support.twitter.com/articles/20172711# Information about the inferences Twitter makes about you can be found here: https://twitter.com/your_twitter_data Information on the available personalization and privacy setting options can be found here (with further references): - https://twitter.com/personalization Furthermore, you have the option to request information via the Twitter privacy form or the archive requests: - https://support.twitter.com/forms/privacy - https://support.twitter.com/articles/20170320# We do not collect any data ourselves via your Twitter account. However, the data you enter on Twitter, in particular your username and the content published under your account, will be processed by us insofar as we retweet or reply to your tweets, if applicable, or also compose tweets from us that refer to your account. The data you freely publish and distribute on Twitter is thus included by us in our offer and made available to our followers. You can also find more information about Twitter and other social networks and how to protect your data at www.youngdata.de. Twitter usage concept: Our public relations work also takes place on Twitter. With this usage concept, we assume responsibility as a non-public body for the use of social media. Please also refer to our privacy policy. Twitter (English for "twitter") is a social network for short messages, photos and videos. Registered users can publish short messages free of charge via this service. These tweets have a limited length and are usually visible to everyone. Users can "follow" other users so that they can read their messages in their own Twitter feed. The advantages of Twitter are its wide reach and - in contrast to some other social networks - its readability without the need for the user to register, as well as its usability without the use of a real name. You can find more information about Twitter here: https://about.twitter.com/de.html The Twitter channels are a useful addition to our existing communication channels, such as our website, press releases, print products and events. The Twitter channels primarily inform users about current news from our business operations. For some target groups, the "classic" instruments alone (print, website, mailing) were no longer sufficient. We found that Twitter allows us to reach a wide circle of interested parties much more directly, quickly and on a daily basis, especially since interested recipients can subscribe to corresponding tweets. The Twitter channel enables us to disseminate our messages far and wide, to network better with other institutions and information sources, and to respond immediately to what is happening at the time. Furthermore, direct dialog with readers allows us to gather opinions and receive feedback in order to optimize our business activities. With our Twitter account we inform users about news from our business operations. Responsibility for editorial support lies with our management and the associated communications and media team. We would like to point out to users that the Twitter channel is merely an additional option for contacting us or receiving information from us. Alternatively, the information offered via Twitter can also be accessed via the corresponding links on our website or on the other linked websites. In principle, you can contact us with all inquiries. Please use the information provided above. We evaluate this usage concept once a year with regard to whether and how it is used. This evaluation of the usage concept takes into account the usage figures and reach as well as the target group structure of the networks.

This platform uses SSL encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as requests you send to us or the platform operator. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from "http://" to "https://" and by the lock symbol in your browser line. There is no separate indication within apps that SSL encryption is available. If SSL encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties. Collection and storage of personal data as well as their type and purpose of use When you access the website of the platform operator, information is automatically sent to the server of the platform operator by the browser used on your end device or by the app. This information is temporarily stored by the platform operator in a so-called log file.

However, it is possible to obtain pseudonymized data in the form of statistics about the users of our site over a certain period of time. The software for analyzing user statistics is usually provided by the platform operator itself, but in some cases it is also possible to integrate third-party software (e.g. Google Analytics). Here, data about the users of the site can be collected, such as age, gender, country of origin, browser used and interests.
