If we obtain your consent to process personal information, this serves as a legal basis as per Article 6 (1) (a) of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
Processing personal data required for fulfilling the contract with you is based on Article 6 (1) (b) GDPR. Article 6 (1) (b) GDPR also applies to processing operations that are required in order for us to take steps before a contract is entered into; for example, in the event of enquiries relating to our products or services. 
If our company is subject to a legal obligation that requires us to process personal data – such as a tax obligation – then the legal basis for this processing is Art. 6 (1) (c) GDPR. 
In order to continuously improve our content, we store and analyse pseudonymised usage data from online activities. The legal basis for this is Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR.

Making the website available generally requires the involvement of data processors working on our instructions, e.g. data centre operators.

The external service providers that we use to process data on our behalf are carefully selected and subject to strict contractual obligations. The service providers follow our instructions, and this is guaranteed by strict contractual regulations, technical and organisational measures, and supplementary checks and controls.

Moreover, we share your data with third parties only when you have given your express consent or on the basis of a statutory requirement.

Data will not be transferred to third countries outside the EU/EEA or to an international organisation unless appropriate guarantees have been provided. These include the EU standard contractual clauses or an adequacy decision by the European Commission.

We store your data only for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purpose for which the data was collected and/or to comply with legal requirements. For example, if we have a contractual relationship with you, we store your data at least until the contract period has come to an end. The data will then be retained for the duration of the mandatory retention period.

Use of Matomo (formerly Piwik)

We use the Matomo analytics platform (formerly Piwik) on our website in order to analyse how people use the website and how we can improve it. The statistics we gain from this allow us to improve our offering and make it more interesting for users. Small text files (cookies) store information about how you use our website, including your IP address. This data is anonymised and stored on our servers. 

The legal basis for the use of Matomo is Article 6 (1) sentence 1 (f) GDPR.

Your options for deactivation: if you would like to opt out of user behaviour analysis, you can configure your browser to refuse analytics cookies. You can also decide whether your browser is allowed to store a unique web analytics cookie to enable the website operator to record and analyse various statistical data. If you wish to opt out, deselect the following option to store the Piwik deactivation cookie in your browser:

Please note: if you delete all cookies, your deactivation cookie will also be deleted, meaning you will have to opt out of user behaviour analysis again.

YouTube

We want to offer you a wide variety of information across various media formats. For this reason, we integrate videos from YouTube (YouTube LLC, 901 Cherry Ave. San Bruno, CA 94066 USA). The legal basis for this is Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR.

Videos are integrated in advanced data protection mode (using the no-cookie solution), meaning that YouTube cookies and pixel tags for personalizing advertising and search results are not set until the video is played.

When the YouTube video is played, the following data is sent to Google, the operator of YouTube:

• IP address,
• the specific address of the page accessed on our site,
• the browser ID as well as
• the system date and time of access,
• existing cookies, with which your browser can be uniquely identified.

Google, as the operator of YouTube, is solely responsible for this data processing. What data is processed here is unknown to us and beyond our control. Further information is available here.

Please note: Google can also receive other data about the cookies you have stored. We have no control over the extent to which these may be used by Google.

YouTube's privacy notice is available here.
