SOCIAL MEDIA ACCOUNTS

We maintain publicly accessible accounts on social media platforms. Social media networks such as Facebook, Instagram, etc. are usually able to analyze your user behavior comprehensively if you visit their websites or a website with integrated social media content (e.g. like buttons or advertising banners). By visiting our social media accounts, numerous processing activities relevant to data protection may be triggered. As follows:

If you are logged in to your social media account and visit our social media presence, the provider of such social media platforms is able to assign the visit to your user account. Furthermore, it is under certain circumstances possible that your personal data can be collected even in the event that you are not logged in or that you do not have a user account registered with the relevant social media platform. Such a collecting of data might, for example, be achieved via cookies that are saved on your device or by being derived from your IP address.

In doing so, they are able to show you interest-related advertising on or off the relevant social media presence. If you have registered a user account with the relevant social media network, such interest-related advertising can be displayed on all devices on which you were or are logged in.

Please note furthermore that we are unable to comprehend all data processing carried out on such social media platforms. Depending on the provider, there might be further processing of your data by those providers of social media platforms. Details can be obtained by reading the respective terms of use and privacy policies of those social media platforms.

PRIZE DRAWS, GIVEAWAYS, AND CONTESTS

We process personal data of persons taking part in prize draws, giveaways and contests exclusively in accordance with the relevant data policies, insofar as their processing is a contractual necessity for providing, hosting and carrying out such events, the contestant has consented in the processing, or such processing serves our vested interest (such as, for example, for the purpose of making the event secure or protecting our interests from abuse through possible collection of IP addresses while submitting entries into the prize draw, giveaway or contest).

In the event that posts of the participants are made public as part of the contests (such as, for example, as part of a voting process or a presentation of the winning entries or the winners or news on the contest), we would like to point out the possibility that the participants’ names might also be made public. All participants reserve the right to dispute this at any given time.

If the prize draw, giveaway or contest is organized within an online platform or a social media network (such as, for example, Facebook or Instagram, hereinafter referred to as “online platform”), additional terms of use and privacy policies of these online platforms apply. In such events, we shall notify the participants that we are responsible for any participant’s data provided as part of the contest and that any pertaining questions are to be directed at us.

The participants’ data shall be deleted as soon as the prize draw, giveaway or contest has ended and the data is not needed anymore in order to inform the winners or to handle expected queries regarding the contest. In principle, the participants’ data shall be deleted at the latest 6 months after the end of the contest. It may be stored for longer in order to, for example, reply to pertaining questions or comply with the winning obligations; in this event, the information retaining period depends on the kind of win and extends to, for example, up to three years for objects or services in oder to, among other things, deal with warranty claims.

USE OF GOOGLE ANALYTICS

USE OF SCRIPT LIBRARIS (GOOGLE WEBFONTS)

In order to display our content correctly and in a graphically appealing way, our website uses script libraries and font libraries such as, for example, Google Webfonts (https://www.google.com/webfonts/). Google Webfonts is transferred to your browser cache in order to prevent multiple loading. In the event that your browser does not support Google Webfonts or prevents its access, our content will be displayed in a standard font.

Accessing script libraries and font libraries will automatically establish a connection to the library provider. This might theoretically enable the library provider to collect library-relevant data – however, it is currently unclear if and for what purpose this occurs.

Google’s privacy policy regarding such libraries can be found here: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/

USE OF GOOGLE MAPS

This website uses Google Maps API in order to visualize and display geographic information. The usage of Google Maps is connected to Google collecting, processing and using information about the usage of the map function by the visitors of the website. Further information on Google’s processing of such data can be obtained by reading the relevant privacy policy provided by Google.

If, for example, you buy a product on our website, it will activate the Facebook Pixel and save your action on our website in one or more than one cookie. These cookies enable Facebook to compare your user data (such as IP address, user ID) with the data provided on your Facebook account. Facebook will then delete this data. Such collected data is anonymous and not visible to us, and it is only usable within the frame of placing advertisements. If you are a logged in Facebook user, visiting our website will automatically be assigned to your Facebook account.

We want to display our services and/or products only to those who are really interested in them. The Facebook Pixel helps us to better tailor our advertising measures to your interests and needs.
