Common browsers include Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Internet Explorer, and Microsoft Edge. Most websites store small text files in your browser. These files are called <strong data-start=\"1072\" data-end=\"1083\">cookies<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1086\" data-end=\"1579\">There&#8217;s no denying it: cookies are truly helpful. Nearly all websites use cookies. More precisely, they use <strong data-start=\"1194\" data-end=\"1210\">HTTP cookies<\/strong>, as there are other types of cookies for different applications. HTTP cookies are small files saved by our website onto your device. These cookie files are automatically placed in your browser\u2019s cookie folder \u2014 essentially the \u201cmemory\u201d of your browser. A cookie consists of a name and a value, and when defining a cookie, one or more attributes must also be specified.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1581\" data-end=\"1973\">Cookies store certain user data such as language preferences or personal page settings. When you return to our site, your browser sends the \u201cuser-related\u201d information back to our website. Thanks to the cookies, our website knows who you are and offers you your usual settings. In some browsers, each cookie has its own file; in others, like Firefox, all cookies are stored in one single file.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1975\" data-end=\"2252\">The following graphic illustrates a possible interaction between a web browser (e.g., Chrome) and a web server: the browser requests a website and receives a cookie from the server in return.

EU countries differ in how they implement this. In Austria, the directive was implemented in \u00a7 165 para. 3 of the Telecommunications Act (2021). In Germany, the directive was not implemented through national law directly but was largely enforced through \u00a7 15 para. 3 of the Telemedia Act (TMG), which was replaced in May 2024 by the Digital Services Act (DDG).<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"4868\" data-end=\"5104\">For strictly necessary cookies, even without consent, there are legitimate interests (Article 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR) \u2013 usually of economic nature. We aim to provide a pleasant user experience, and certain cookies are necessary for that.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"5106\" data-end=\"5221\">Where cookies are not strictly necessary, they are only used based on your consent (Article 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR).<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"5223\" data-end=\"5334\">The following sections will inform you in more detail about cookie usage if the software employed uses cookies.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"81\" data-end=\"96\"><strong data-start=\"81\" data-end=\"96\">Legal Basis<\/strong><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"98\" data-end=\"421\">We have a legitimate interest in using a website builder system to optimize our online service and present it to you in an efficient and user-friendly manner.

However, we only use the builder system if you have given your consent.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"423\" data-end=\"694\">To the extent that the processing of data is not strictly necessary for the operation of the website, the data is processed solely on the basis of your consent.

The service provider is the American company Automattic Inc., 60 29th Street #343, San Francisco, CA 94110, USA.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1738\" data-end=\"2005\">Founded in 2003, the company quickly became one of the most popular content management systems (CMS) worldwide. A CMS is software that helps us create our website and present content in an organized and attractive way. This content can include text, audio, and video.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2007\" data-end=\"2311\">Using WordPress may involve the collection, storage, and processing of your personal data. Typically, technical data such as operating system, browser, screen resolution, or hosting provider are stored. However, personal data such as IP address, geographic data, or contact details may also be processed.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2313\" data-end=\"2435\"><strong data-start=\"2313\" data-end=\"2356\">Why do we use WordPress on our website?<\/strong><br data-start=\"2356\" data-end=\"2359\" \/>We have many strengths, but programming is not one of our core competencies.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2437\" data-end=\"2944\">Still, we want a powerful and attractive website that we can manage and maintain ourselves. A website builder or content management system like WordPress makes this possible. With WordPress, we don&#8217;t have to be coding experts to offer you a beautiful website. Thanks to WordPress, we can operate our website quickly and easily without technical knowledge. If technical issues arise or we have special requests for our website, we can still rely on our experts who are familiar with HTML, PHP, CSS, and more.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2946\" data-end=\"3105\">Thanks to WordPress&#8217;s ease of use and comprehensive features, we can design our web presence according to our preferences and offer you a good user experience.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3107\" data-end=\"3422\"><strong data-start=\"3107\" data-end=\"3147\">What data is processed by WordPress?<\/strong><br data-start=\"3147\" data-end=\"3150\" \/>Non-personal data includes technical usage information such as browser activity, clickstream data, session heatmaps, and information about your device, operating system, browser, screen resolution, language and keyboard settings, internet provider, and date of your visit.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3424\" data-end=\"3568\">Personal data collected typically includes contact details (email address or phone number if provided), IP address, or your geographic location.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3570\" data-end=\"4024\">WordPress may also use cookies to collect data, often related to your behavior on our site. For example, it can track which subpages you view frequently, how long you stay on a page, when you leave (bounce rate), or what preferences (e.g., language selection) you have set. Based on this data, WordPress can tailor its marketing efforts to your interests and behavior. When you return to our site, it may be displayed according to your previous settings.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"4026\" data-end=\"4175\">WordPress may also use technologies such as pixel tags (web beacons) to identify you clearly as a user and possibly serve interest-based advertising.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"4177\" data-end=\"4906\"><strong data-start=\"4177\" data-end=\"4219\">How long and where is the data stored?<\/strong><br data-start=\"4219\" data-end=\"4222\" \/>The storage duration of data depends on several factors, particularly the type of data and website-specific settings. Generally, WordPress deletes data when it is no longer needed. Exceptions exist, especially when legal obligations require longer retention. Web server logs that include your IP address and technical data are deleted by WordPress\/Automattic after 30 days. Automattic uses this data for traffic analysis and troubleshooting across all WordPress sites. Deleted content on WordPress websites is also stored for 30 days in the trash to allow for recovery; afterward, it may remain in backups and caches until deleted. The data is stored on Automattic servers in the USA.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"4908\" data-end=\"5117\"><strong data-start=\"4908\" data-end=\"4963\">How can I delete or prevent the storage of my data?<\/strong><br data-start=\"4963\" data-end=\"4966\" \/>You always have the right to access, object to, or request deletion of your personal data.

During this process, data is collected, stored, managed, and processed by the respective analytics tool provider (also known as a tracking tool). These data are used to generate analyses of user behavior on our website and are made available to us as website operators. Most tools also offer testing capabilities. For example, we can test which offers or content resonate best with our visitors. We may show you two different versions of a page for a limited period. After this A\/B test, we can determine which product or content our visitors find more appealing. In such testing procedures and other analytics processes, user profiles can be created and data may be stored in cookies.<\/p>\n<hr data-start=\"1509\" data-end=\"1512\" \/>\n<h3 data-start=\"1514\" data-end=\"1546\">Why Do We Use Web Analytics?<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"1548\" data-end=\"2164\">We have a clear goal for our website: we want to offer the best web experience in our industry. To achieve this, we need to provide the most relevant and engaging content and ensure that you feel comfortable while browsing our site. With the help of web analytics tools, we can closely examine how visitors use our site and make improvements accordingly. For instance, we can determine the average age of our visitors, their geographic location, peak usage times, and which pages or products are most popular. All of this information helps us tailor our website to better meet your needs, preferences, and interests.<\/p>\n<hr data-start=\"2166\" data-end=\"2169\" \/>\n<h3 data-start=\"2171\" data-end=\"2198\">What Data Is Processed?<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"2200\" data-end=\"2624\">The exact data stored depends on the analytics tools used. However, the following are typically recorded: the content you view on our website, the buttons or links you click, the time you visit a page, your browser type, the device used (e.g., PC, tablet, smartphone), and your operating system. If you have consented to the collection of location data, this information may also be processed by the analytics tool provider.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2626\" data-end=\"3100\">Your IP address is also stored. According to the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), IP addresses are considered personal data. However, they are typically stored in a pseudonymized format (i.e., anonymized and shortened). For testing, analytics, and optimization purposes, no directly identifying data such as your name, age, address, or email address is stored. All collected data is stored in a pseudonymized manner, so individuals cannot be personally identified.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3102\" data-end=\"3216\">The following example illustrates how Google Analytics works using client-based web tracking with JavaScript code.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-8433 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/monasterium-quartet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/consent-management-platform-overview-1536x700-1-559x255.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"515\" height=\"235\" srcset=\"https:\/\/monasterium-quartet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/consent-management-platform-overview-1536x700-1-559x255.png 559w, https:\/\/monasterium-quartet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/consent-management-platform-overview-1536x700-1-768x350.png 768w, https:\/\/monasterium-quartet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/consent-management-platform-overview-1536x700-1.png 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 515px) 100vw, 515px\" \/><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"101\" data-end=\"132\"><strong data-start=\"101\" data-end=\"132\">Duration of Data Processing<\/strong><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"134\" data-end=\"338\">The length of time for which data is processed always depends on the provider.

For the European region, the responsible entity is Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland). Google Analytics collects data about your actions on our website. Using technologies such as cookies, device IDs, and login data, users can be identified across devices. This enables cross-platform analysis of your actions.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3123\" data-end=\"3441\">For instance, if you click a link, that action is recorded in a cookie and sent to Google Analytics. The reports we receive from Google Analytics help us tailor our website and services to your preferences. Below we explain the tool in more detail and inform you about the data it processes and how you can prevent it.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3443\" data-end=\"3994\">Google Analytics is a tracking tool used to analyze website traffic. The analysis is based on a pseudonymous user ID. This ID does not contain personal information such as name or address but is used to assign events to a device. GA4 uses an event-based model that collects detailed information about user interactions such as page views, clicks, scrolling, and conversion events. GA4 also includes machine learning features to better understand user behavior and trends. It uses modeling to estimate missing data and improve analysis and forecasting.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3996\" data-end=\"4406\">To use Google Analytics, a tracking code is integrated into our website\u2019s code. When you visit our website, this code records actions you take. The event-based model allows us to define and track specific actions to analyze user behavior. In addition to general metrics like clicks and page views, we can also track actions important to our business, such as submitting a contact form or completing a purchase.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"4408\" data-end=\"4588\">Once you leave our site, the data is sent to Google Analytics servers and stored there. Google processes this data and provides us with reports on user behavior. These can include:<\/p>\n<ul data-start=\"4590\" data-end=\"5134\">\n<li data-start=\"4590\" data-end=\"4669\">\n<p data-start=\"4592\" data-end=\"4669\"><strong data-start=\"4592\" data-end=\"4612\">Audience reports<\/strong>: Help us understand who is interested in our services.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"4670\" data-end=\"4742\">\n<p data-start=\"4672\" data-end=\"4742\"><strong data-start=\"4672\" data-end=\"4686\">Ad reports<\/strong>: Help us evaluate and improve our online advertising.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"4743\" data-end=\"4836\">\n<p data-start=\"4745\" data-end=\"4836\"><strong data-start=\"4745\" data-end=\"4768\">Acquisition reports<\/strong>: Show us how users find us and which channels are most effective.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"4837\" data-end=\"4925\">\n<p data-start=\"4839\" data-end=\"4925\"><strong data-start=\"4839\" data-end=\"4859\">Behavior reports<\/strong>: Show how users interact with our website and where they click.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"4926\" data-end=\"5061\">\n<p data-start=\"4928\" data-end=\"5061\"><strong data-start=\"4928\" data-end=\"4950\">Conversion reports<\/strong>: Help us understand how users take desired actions (e.g., making a purchase or signing up for a newsletter).<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"5062\" data-end=\"5134\">\n<p data-start=\"5064\" data-end=\"5134\"><strong data-start=\"5064\" data-end=\"5085\">Real-time reports<\/strong>: Show what\u2019s currently happening on our website.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p data-start=\"5136\" data-end=\"5163\">Other GA4 features include:<\/p>\n<ul data-start=\"5165\" data-end=\"5605\">\n<li data-start=\"5165\" data-end=\"5295\">\n<p data-start=\"5167\" data-end=\"5295\"><strong data-start=\"5167\" data-end=\"5193\">Event-based data model<\/strong>: Tracks specific events like playing a video, purchasing a product, or subscribing to a newsletter.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"5296\" data-end=\"5402\">\n<p data-start=\"5298\" data-end=\"5402\"><strong data-start=\"5298\" data-end=\"5325\">Advanced analysis tools<\/strong>: Allow us to segment users, run comparison analyses, and track user paths.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"5403\" data-end=\"5505\">\n<p data-start=\"5405\" data-end=\"5505\"><strong data-start=\"5405\" data-end=\"5428\">Predictive modeling<\/strong>: Uses machine learning to estimate missing data and predict future trends.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"5506\" data-end=\"5605\">\n<p data-start=\"5508\" data-end=\"5605\"><strong data-start=\"5508\" data-end=\"5535\">Cross-platform tracking<\/strong>: Enables analysis across websites and apps if the user has consented.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p data-start=\"5607\" data-end=\"5657\"><strong data-start=\"5607\" data-end=\"5657\">Why do we use Google Analytics on our website?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"5659\" data-end=\"6133\">Our goal is to offer you the best possible service. The statistics and insights provided by Google Analytics help us achieve this. They reveal both strengths and weaknesses of our site. On the one hand, we can optimize our content to be more easily found on Google. On the other, the data helps us understand you better and improve your experience. It also allows us to target our marketing more effectively and efficiently, reaching those truly interested in what we offer.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"80\" data-end=\"124\"><strong data-start=\"80\" data-end=\"124\">What data is stored by Google Analytics?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"126\" data-end=\"502\">Google Analytics creates a random, unique ID using a tracking code, which is linked to your browser cookie. This way, Google Analytics recognizes you as a new user and assigns you a user ID. When you visit our site again, you are recognized as a \u201creturning\u201d user. All collected data is stored together with this user ID. This allows pseudonymous user profiles to be evaluated.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"504\" data-end=\"814\">To analyze our website with Google Analytics, a property ID must be inserted into the tracking code. The data is then stored in the corresponding property. For each newly created property, the default is a Google Analytics 4 property. Depending on the property used, data is stored for varying lengths of time.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"816\" data-end=\"1326\">Through identifiers such as cookies, app instance IDs, user IDs, or custom event parameters, your interactions can be measured across platforms\u2014provided you have given consent. Interactions include all types of actions you perform on our website. If you use other Google systems (e.g., a Google account), data generated via Google Analytics may be linked to third-party cookies. Google does not share Google Analytics data unless we as website operators authorize it. Exceptions may occur when required by law.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1328\" data-end=\"1621\">According to Google, Google Analytics 4 does not log or store IP addresses. However, Google uses the IP address data to derive location information and then immediately deletes it. All IP addresses collected from users in the EU are deleted before being stored in a data center or on a server.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1623\" data-end=\"1824\">Since GA4 focuses on event-based data, the tool uses significantly fewer cookies than earlier versions (like Universal Analytics). Nevertheless, there are still specific cookies used by GA4, including:<\/p>\n<ul data-start=\"1826\" data-end=\"2401\">\n<li data-start=\"1826\" data-end=\"2015\">\n<p data-start=\"1828\" data-end=\"2015\"><strong data-start=\"1828\" data-end=\"1837\">Name:<\/strong> _ga<br data-start=\"1841\" data-end=\"1844\" \/><strong data-start=\"1846\" data-end=\"1856\">Value:<\/strong> 2.1326744211.152313018490-5<br data-start=\"1884\" data-end=\"1887\" \/><strong data-start=\"1889\" data-end=\"1901\">Purpose:<\/strong> Used by analytics.js to store the user ID, generally to distinguish website visitors.<br data-start=\"1987\" data-end=\"1990\" \/><strong data-start=\"1992\" data-end=\"2007\">Expiration:<\/strong> 2 years<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"2017\" data-end=\"2165\">\n<p data-start=\"2019\" data-end=\"2165\"><strong data-start=\"2019\" data-end=\"2028\">Name:<\/strong> _gid<br data-start=\"2033\" data-end=\"2036\" \/><strong data-start=\"2038\" data-end=\"2048\">Value:<\/strong> 2.1687193234.152313018490-1<br data-start=\"2076\" data-end=\"2079\" \/><strong data-start=\"2081\" data-end=\"2093\">Purpose:<\/strong> Also used to distinguish website visitors.<br data-start=\"2136\" data-end=\"2139\" \/><strong data-start=\"2141\" data-end=\"2156\">Expiration:<\/strong> 24 hours<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"2167\" data-end=\"2401\">\n<p data-start=\"2169\" data-end=\"2401\"><strong data-start=\"2169\" data-end=\"2178\">Name:<\/strong> <em data-start=\"2179\" data-end=\"2192\">gat_gtag_UA<\/em>&lt;property-id&gt;<br data-start=\"2205\" data-end=\"2208\" \/><strong data-start=\"2210\" data-end=\"2220\">Value:<\/strong> 1<br data-start=\"2222\" data-end=\"2225\" \/><strong data-start=\"2227\" data-end=\"2239\">Purpose:<\/strong> Used to throttle request rates.

In that case, the retention period resets each time you revisit. After the period ends, data is deleted once a month. This applies to data linked to cookies, user IDs, and advertising IDs (e.g., DoubleClick cookies).

Dabei k\u00f6nnen Daten von Usern verarbeitet werden, damit wir gezielt User, die sich f\u00fcr uns interessieren, \u00fcber die sozialen Netzwerke ansprechen k\u00f6nnen. Dar\u00fcber hinaus k\u00f6nnen auch Elemente einer Social-Media-Plattform direkt in unsere Website eingebettet sein. Das ist etwa der Fall, wenn Sie einen sogenannten Social-Button auf unserer Website anklicken und direkt zu unserem Social-Media-Auftritt weitergeleitet werden. Als sogenannte Sozialen Medien oder Social Media werden Websites und Apps bezeichnet, \u00fcber die angemeldete Mitglieder Inhalte produzieren, Inhalte offen oder in bestimmten Gruppen austauschen und sich mit anderen Mitgliedern vernetzen k\u00f6nnen.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"adsimple-313018490\">Warum nutzen wir Social Media?<\/h3>\n<p>Seit Jahren sind Social-Media-Plattformen der Ort, wo Menschen online kommunizieren und in Kontakt treten. Mit unseren Social-Media-Auftritten k\u00f6nnen wir unsere Produkte und Dienstleistungen Interessenten n\u00e4herbringen. Die auf unserer Website eingebundenen Social-Media-Elemente helfen Ihnen, schnell und ohne Komplikationen zu unseren Social-Media-Inhalten wechseln k\u00f6nnen.<\/p>\n<p>Die Daten, die durch Ihre Nutzung eines Social-Media-Kanals gespeichert und verarbeitet werden, haben in erster Linie den Zweck, Webanalysen durchf\u00fchren zu k\u00f6nnen. Ziel dieser Analysen ist es, genauere und personenbezogene Marketing- und Werbestrategien entwickeln zu k\u00f6nnen. Abh\u00e4ngig von Ihrem Verhalten auf einer Social-Media-Plattform, k\u00f6nnen mit Hilfe der ausgewerteten Daten, passende R\u00fcckschl\u00fcsse auf Ihre Interessen getroffen werden und sogenannte Userprofile erstellt werden. So ist es den Plattformen auch m\u00f6glich, Ihnen ma\u00dfgeschneiderte Werbeanzeigen zu pr\u00e4sentieren. Meistens werden f\u00fcr diesen Zweck Cookies in Ihrem Browser gesetzt, die Daten zu Ihrem Nutzungsverhalten speichern.<\/p>\n<p>Wir gehen in der Regel davon aus, dass wir datenschutzrechtlich verantwortlich bleiben, auch wenn wir Dienste einer Social-Media-Plattform nutzen. Der Europ\u00e4ische Gerichtshof hat jedoch entschieden, dass in bestimmten F\u00e4llen der Betreiber der Social-Media-Plattform zusammen mit uns gemeinsam verantwortlich im Sinne des Art. 26 DSGVO sein kann. Soweit dies der Fall ist, weisen wir gesondert darauf hin und arbeiten auf Grundlage einer diesbez\u00fcglichen Vereinbarung. Das Wesentliche der Vereinbarung ist dann weiter unten bei der betroffenen Plattform wiedergegeben.<\/p>\n<p>Bitte beachten Sie, dass bei der Nutzung der Social-Media-Plattformen oder unserer eingebauten Elemente auch Daten von Ihnen au\u00dferhalb der Europ\u00e4ischen Union verarbeitet werden k\u00f6nnen, da viele Social-Media-Kan\u00e4le, beispielsweise Facebook oder Twitter, amerikanische Unternehmen sind. Dadurch k\u00f6nnen Sie m\u00f6glicherweise Ihre Rechte in Bezug auf Ihre personenbezogenen Daten nicht mehr so leicht einfordern bzw. durchsetzen.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"adsimple-313018490\">Welche Daten werden verarbeitet?<\/h3>\n<p>Welche Daten genau gespeichert und verarbeitet werden, h\u00e4ngt vom jeweiligen Anbieter der Social-Media-Plattform ab. Aber f\u00fcr gew\u00f6hnlich handelt es sich um Daten wie etwa Telefonnummern, E-Mailadressen, Daten, die Sie in ein Kontaktformular eingeben, Nutzerdaten wie zum Beispiel welche Buttons Sie klicken, wen Sie liken oder wem folgen, wann Sie welche Seiten besucht haben, Informationen zu Ihrem Ger\u00e4t und Ihre IP-Adresse. Die meisten dieser Daten werden in Cookies gespeichert. Speziell wenn Sie selbst ein Profil bei dem besuchten Social-Media-Kanal haben und angemeldet sind, k\u00f6nnen Daten mit Ihrem Profil verkn\u00fcpft werden.<\/p>\n<p>Alle Daten, die \u00fcber eine Social-Media-Plattform erhoben werden, werden auch auf den Servern der Anbieter gespeichert. Somit haben auch nur die Anbieter Zugang zu den Daten und k\u00f6nnen Ihnen die passenden Ausk\u00fcnfte geben bzw. \u00c4nderungen vornehmen.<\/p>\n<p>Wenn Sie genau wissen wollen, welche Daten bei den Social-Media-Anbietern gespeichert und verarbeitet werden und wie sie der Datenverarbeitung widersprechen k\u00f6nnen, sollten Sie die jeweilige Datenschutzerkl\u00e4rung des Unternehmens sorgf\u00e4ltig durchlesen. Auch wenn Sie zur Datenspeicherung und Datenverarbeitung Fragen haben oder entsprechende Rechte geltend machen wollen, empfehlen wir Ihnen, sich direkt an den Anbieter wenden.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"adsimple-313018490\"><span class=\"adsimple-313018490\" data-sheets-value=\"{&quot;1&quot;:2,&quot;2&quot;:&quot;Wo und wie lange werden Daten gespeichert?&quot;}\" data-sheets-userformat=\"{&quot;2&quot;:769,&quot;3&quot;:{&quot;1&quot;:0},&quot;11&quot;:4,&quot;12&quot;:0}\">Dauer der Datenverarbeitung<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>\u00dcber die Dauer der Datenverarbeitung informieren wir Sie weiter unten, sofern wir weitere Informationen dazu haben. Beispielsweise speichert die Social-Media-Plattform Facebook Daten, bis sie f\u00fcr den eigenen Zweck nicht mehr ben\u00f6tigt werden. Kundendaten, die mit den eigenen Userdaten abgeglichen werden, werden aber schon innerhalb von zwei Tagen gel\u00f6scht. Generell verarbeiten wir personenbezogene Daten nur so lange wie es f\u00fcr die Bereitstellung unserer Dienstleistungen und Produkte unbedingt notwendig ist. Wenn es, wie zum Beispiel im Fall von Buchhaltung, gesetzlich vorgeschrieben ist, kann diese Speicherdauer auch \u00fcberschritten werden.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"adsimple-313018490\">Widerspruchsrecht<\/h3>\n<p>Sie haben auch jederzeit das Recht und die M\u00f6glichkeit Ihre Einwilligung zur Verwendung von Cookies bzw.

Zum Beispiel k\u00f6nnen Sie auch die Datenerfassung durch Cookies verhindern, indem Sie in Ihrem Browser die Cookies verwalten, deaktivieren oder l\u00f6schen.<\/p>\n<p>Da bei Social-Media-Tools Cookies zum Einsatz kommen k\u00f6nnen, empfehlen wir Ihnen auch unsere allgemeine Datenschutzerkl\u00e4rung \u00fcber Cookies.

Facebook ist ein Social Media Network des Unternehmens Meta Platforms Inc. bzw. f\u00fcr den europ\u00e4ischen Raum des Unternehmens Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Irland. Mithilfe dieser Tools k\u00f6nnen wir Ihnen und Menschen, die sich f\u00fcr unsere Produkte und Dienstleistungen interessieren, das bestm\u00f6gliche Angebot bieten.<\/p>\n<p>Wenn \u00fcber unsere eingebetteten Facebook-Elemente oder \u00fcber unsere Facebook-Seite (Fanpage) Daten von Ihnen erhoben und weitergeleitet werden, sind sowohl wir als auch Facebook Irland Ltd. daf\u00fcr verantwortlich. F\u00fcr die weitere Verarbeitung dieser Daten tr\u00e4gt Facebook allein die Verantwortung. Unsere gemeinsamen Verpflichtungen wurden auch in einer \u00f6ffentlich zug\u00e4nglichen Vereinbarung unter <a class=\"adsimple-313018490\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/legal\/controller_addendum\">https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/legal\/controller_addendum<\/a> verankert. Darin ist etwa festgehalten, dass wir Sie klar \u00fcber den Einsatz der Facebook-Tools auf unserer Seite informieren m\u00fcssen. Weiters sind wir auch daf\u00fcr verantwortlich, dass die Tools datenschutzrechtlich sicher in unsere Website eingebunden sind. Facebook ist hingegen beispielsweise f\u00fcr die Datensicherheit der Facebook-Produkte verantwortlich. Bei etwaigen Fragen zur Datenerhebung und Datenverarbeitung durch Facebook k\u00f6nnen Sie sich direkt an das Unternehmen wenden. Wenn Sie die Frage an uns richten, sind wir dazu verpflichtet diese an Facebook weiterleiten.<\/p>\n<p>Im Folgenden geben wir einen \u00dcberblick \u00fcber die verschiedenen Facebook Tools, welche Daten an Facebook gesendet werden und wie Sie diese Daten l\u00f6schen k\u00f6nnen.<\/p>\n<p>Neben vielen anderen Produkten bietet Facebook auch die sogenannten \u201cFacebook Business Tools\u201d an.\u00a0Das ist die offizielle Bezeichnung von Facebook. Da der Begriff aber kaum bekannt ist, haben wir uns daf\u00fcr entschieden, sie lediglich Facebook-Tools zu nennen. Darunter finden sich unter anderem:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"adsimple-313018490\">\n<li class=\"adsimple-313018490\">Facebook-Pixel<\/li>\n<li class=\"adsimple-313018490\">soziale Plug-ins (wie z.B der \u201eGef\u00e4llt mir\u201c- oder \u201eTeilen\u201c-Button)<\/li>\n<li class=\"adsimple-313018490\">Facebook Login<\/li>\n<li class=\"adsimple-313018490\">Account Kit<\/li>\n<li class=\"adsimple-313018490\">APIs (Programmierschnittstelle)<\/li>\n<li class=\"adsimple-313018490\">SDKs (Sammlung von Programmierwerkzeugen)<\/li>\n<li class=\"adsimple-313018490\">Plattform-Integrationen<\/li>\n<li class=\"adsimple-313018490\">Plugins<\/li>\n<li class=\"adsimple-313018490\">Codes<\/li>\n<li class=\"adsimple-313018490\">Spezifikationen<\/li>\n<li class=\"adsimple-313018490\">Dokumentationen<\/li>\n<li class=\"adsimple-313018490\">Technologien und Dienstleistungen<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Durch diese Tools erweitert Facebook Dienstleistungen und hat die M\u00f6glichkeit, Informationen \u00fcber User-Aktivit\u00e4ten au\u00dferhalb von Facebook zu erhalten.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"adsimple-313018490\">Warum verwenden wir Facebook-Tools auf unserer Website?<\/h3>\n<p>Wir wollen unsere Dienstleistungen und Produkte nur Menschen zeigen, die sich auch wirklich daf\u00fcr interessieren. Mithilfe von Werbeanzeigen (Facebook-Ads) k\u00f6nnen wir genau diese Menschen erreichen. Damit den Usern passende Werbung gezeigt werden kann, ben\u00f6tigt Facebook allerdings Informationen \u00fcber die W\u00fcnsche und Bed\u00fcrfnisse der Menschen. So werden dem Unternehmen\u00a0Informationen \u00fcber das Userverhalten (und Kontaktdaten) auf unserer Webseite zur Verf\u00fcgung gestellt. Dadurch sammelt Facebook bessere User-Daten und kann interessierten Menschen die passende Werbung \u00fcber unsere Produkte bzw. Dienstleistungen anzeigen. Die Tools erm\u00f6glichen somit ma\u00dfgeschneiderte Werbekampagnen auf Facebook.<\/p>\n<p>Daten \u00fcber Ihr Verhalten auf unserer Webseite nennt Facebook \u201eEvent-Daten\u201c. Diese werden auch f\u00fcr Messungs- und Analysedienste verwendet. Facebook kann so in unserem Auftrag \u201eKampagnenberichte\u201c \u00fcber die Wirkung unserer Werbekampagnen erstellen. Weiters bekommen wir durch Analysen einen besseren Einblick, wie Sie unsere Dienstleistungen, Webseite oder Produkte verwenden. Dadurch optimieren wir mit einigen dieser Tools Ihre Nutzererfahrung auf unserer Webseite. Beispielsweise k\u00f6nnen Sie mit den sozialen Plug-ins Inhalte auf unserer Seite direkt auf Facebook teilen.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"adsimple-313018490\">Welche Daten werden von Facebook-Tools gespeichert?<\/h3>\n<p>Durch die Nutzung einzelner Facebook-Tools k\u00f6nnen personenbezogene Daten (Kundendaten) an Facebook gesendet werden. Abh\u00e4ngig von den benutzten Tools k\u00f6nnen Kundendaten wie Name, Adresse, Telefonnummer und IP-Adresse versandt werden.<\/p>\n<p>Facebook verwendet diese Informationen, um die Daten mit den Daten, die es selbst von Ihnen hat (sofern Sie Facebook-Mitglied sind) abzugleichen. Bevor Kundendaten an Facebook \u00fcbermittelt werden, erfolgt ein sogenanntes \u201eHashing\u201c. Das bedeutet, dass ein beliebig gro\u00dfer Datensatz in eine Zeichenkette transformiert wird. Dies dient auch der Verschl\u00fcsselung von Daten.<\/p>\n<p>Neben den Kontaktdaten werden auch \u201eEvent-Daten\u201c \u00fcbermittelt. Unter \u201eEvent-Daten\u201c sind jene Informationen gemeint, die wir \u00fcber Sie auf unserer Webseite erhalten. Zum Beispiel, welche Unterseiten Sie besuchen oder welche Produkte Sie bei uns kaufen. Facebook teilt die erhaltenen Informationen nicht mit Drittanbietern (wie beispielsweise Werbetreibende), au\u00dfer das Unternehmen hat eine explizite Genehmigung oder ist rechtlich dazu verpflichtet. \u201eEvent-Daten\u201c k\u00f6nnen auch mit Kontaktdaten verbunden werden. Dadurch kann Facebook bessere personalisierte Werbung anbieten. Nach dem bereits erw\u00e4hnten Abgleichungsprozess l\u00f6scht Facebook die Kontaktdaten wieder.<\/p>\n<p>Um Werbeanzeigen optimiert ausliefern zu k\u00f6nnen, verwendet Facebook die Event-Daten nur, wenn diese mit anderen Daten (die auf andere Weise von Facebook erfasst wurden) zusammengefasst wurden. Diese Event-Daten n\u00fctzt Facebook auch f\u00fcr Sicherheits-, Schutz-, Entwicklungs- und Forschungszwecke. Viele dieser Daten werden \u00fcber Cookies zu Facebook \u00fcbertragen. Cookies sind kleine Text-Dateien, die zum Speichern von Daten bzw. Informationen in Browsern verwendet werden. Je nach verwendeten Tools und abh\u00e4ngig davon, ob Sie Facebook-Mitglied sind, werden unterschiedlich viele Cookies in Ihrem Browser angelegt. In den Beschreibungen der einzelnen Facebook Tools gehen wir n\u00e4her auf einzelne Facebook-Cookies ein. Allgemeine Informationen \u00fcber die Verwendung von Facebook-Cookies erfahren Sie auch auf <a class=\"adsimple-313018490\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/policies\/cookies?tid=313018490\">https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/policies\/cookies<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"adsimple-313018490\">Wie lange und wo werden die Daten gespeichert?<\/h3>\n<p>Grunds\u00e4tzlich speichert Facebook Daten bis sie nicht mehr f\u00fcr die eigenen Dienste und Facebook-Produkte ben\u00f6tigt werden.

If you would like more information about how Facebook processes data, we recommend reviewing Facebook\u2019s privacy policy at: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/privacy\/policy\/\"><span class=\"s1\">https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/privacy\/policy\/<\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s2\">If you are logged into Facebook, you can change your ad preferences at: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/adpreferences\/advertisers\/?entry_product=ad_settings_screen\"><span class=\"s1\">https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/adpreferences\/advertisers\/?entry_product=ad_settings_screen<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s2\">You can also manage your advertising preferences yourself at:<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/adpreferences\/advertisers\/?entry_product=ad_settings_screen\"><span class=\"s1\">https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/adpreferences\/advertisers\/?entry_product=ad_settings_screen<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><b>Facebook Social Plugins Privacy Policy<\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Our website includes so-called social plugins from the company Meta Platforms Inc. You can recognize these buttons by the classic Facebook logo, such as the \u00abLike\u00bb button (the hand with a raised thumb) or by a clear \u201cFacebook Plugin\u201d label. A social plugin is a small part of Facebook that is integrated into our website. Each plugin has a specific function. The most commonly used features are the well-known \u201cLike\u201d and \u201cShare\u201d buttons.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Facebook offers the following social plugins:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"ul1\">\n<li class=\"li1\">\u201cSave\u201d button<\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\">\u201cLike\u201d, Share, Send, and Quote buttons<\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\">Page plugin<\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\">Comments<\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\">Messenger plugin<\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\">Embedded posts and video player<\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\">Group plugin<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"p1\">You can find more detailed information on how the individual plugins are used at:<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/developers.facebook.com\/docs\/plugins\"><span class=\"s1\">https:\/\/developers.facebook.com\/docs\/plugins<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">We use social plugins partly to offer you a better user experience on our site, and partly because Facebook can optimize our advertising through them.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">If you have a Facebook account or have previously visited <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/\"><span class=\"s1\">https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/<\/span><\/a>, Facebook has likely already set at least one cookie in your browser. In this case, your browser sends information to Facebook through that cookie as soon as you visit our site or interact with social plugins (e.g., the \u201cLike\u201d button).<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The collected information is deleted or anonymized within 90 days. According to Facebook, this data includes your IP address, the website you visited, the date and time, and additional information related to your browser.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">To prevent Facebook from collecting extensive data and linking it with your Facebook account during your visit to our website, you must log out of Facebook while browsing our site.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">If you are not logged into Facebook or do not have a Facebook account, your browser will send less information to Facebook, as fewer Facebook cookies are present. However, data such as your IP address or the website you are visiting may still be transmitted to Facebook. We explicitly point out that we do not know the exact content of the transmitted data. However, we strive to inform you to the best of our knowledge about the data processing involved.

These include embedded tweets, timelines, buttons, or hashtags. X is a microblogging and social media platform operated by the American company X Corp., 1355 Market Street, Suite 900, San Francisco, CA 94103, USA. For the European Economic Area, the company responsible for processing personal data is Twitter International Unlimited Company (One Cumberland Place, Fenian Street, Dublin 2, D02 AX07, Ireland).<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">According to our knowledge, no personal data or data regarding your web activities are transmitted to X within the European Economic Area or Switzerland merely by embedding X functions. Only when you interact with these functions\u2014such as by clicking a button\u2014can data be transmitted to, stored by, and processed by X. We have no influence over this data processing and do not assume any responsibility for it.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">As part of this privacy policy, we aim to give you an overview of what data X stores, how X uses that data, and how you can largely protect yourself from data transmission.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">For some, X is a news service; for others, a social media platform; and still others refer to it as a microblogging service. All of these terms are valid and more or less describe the same thing.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Both individuals and companies use X to communicate with interested parties via short messages. Each message on X is limited to 280 characters and is called a \u201cTweet.\u201d Unlike platforms like Facebook, X does not focus on building a \u201cfriends\u201d network but is designed to be a global and open news platform. On X, users can also maintain anonymous accounts, and tweets can be deleted either by the company or by the users themselves.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><b>Why do we use X on our website?<\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Like many other websites and companies, we try to offer our services and content through various channels and communicate with our customers. X (still better known to many as Twitter) has become a helpful \u201csmall\u201d news tool we appreciate. We regularly tweet or retweet interesting, funny, or relevant content. We understand that you can\u2019t follow every platform individually\u2014after all, you have other things to do. That&#8217;s why we have integrated X functions directly into our website. This allows you to experience our X activity \u201con site\u201d or follow a direct link to our X page. Through this integration, we aim to enhance our service and improve the user experience on our website.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><b>What data is stored by X?<\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">On some of our subpages, you will find integrated X features. If you interact with X content\u2014such as by clicking a button\u2014X may collect and store data. This can happen even if you do not have an X account. X refers to this information as \u201clog data.\u201d This may include demographic information, browser cookie IDs, your smartphone\u2019s ID, hashed email addresses, and details about which pages you visited on X and what actions you performed. Of course, X stores even more data if you have an X account and are logged in.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Previously, this data was stored using cookies. Cookies are small text files that are typically set in your browser and transmit various pieces of information to X.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Below is an example of the cookies that may be set when you visit a website with integrated X functions, even if you are not logged into X. Please note that this list is illustrative and not exhaustive, as the specific cookies set may vary depending on your individual interactions with X content.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">These cookies were identified during our test:<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><b>Name:<\/b> personalization_id<br \/><b>Value:<\/b> \u201cv1_cSJIsogU51SeE313018490\u201d<br \/><b>Purpose:<\/b> This cookie stores information about how you use the website and through which advertisements you may have reached X.<br \/><b>Expiration:<\/b> after 2 years<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><b>Name:<\/b> lang<br \/><b>Value:<\/b> de<br \/><b>Purpose:<\/b> This cookie stores your preset or preferred language.<br \/><b>Expiration:<\/b> at the end of the session<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><b>Name:<\/b> guest_id<br \/><b>Value:<\/b> 313018490v1%3A157132626<br \/><b>Purpose:<\/b> This cookie is used to identify you as a guest.<br \/><b>Expiration:<\/b> after 2 years<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><b>Name:<\/b> fm<br \/><b>Value:<\/b> 0<br \/><b>Purpose:<\/b> Unfortunately, we could not determine the purpose of this cookie.<br \/><b>Expiration:<\/b> at the end of the session<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><b>Name:<\/b> external_referer<br \/><b>Value:<\/b> 3130184902beTA0sf5lkMrlGt<br \/><b>Purpose:<\/b> This cookie collects anonymous data such as how often and how long you visit X.<br \/><b>Expiration:<\/b> after 6 days<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><b>Name:<\/b> eu_cn<br \/><b>Value:<\/b> 1<br \/><b>Purpose:<\/b> This cookie stores user activity and serves various advertising purposes for X.<br \/><b>Expiration:<\/b> after 1 year<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><b>Name:<\/b> ct0<br \/><b>Value:<\/b> c1179f07163a365d2ed7aad84c99d966<br \/><b>Purpose:<\/b> Unfortunately, we could not determine the purpose of this cookie.<br \/><b>Expiration:<\/b> after 6 hours<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><b>Name:<\/b> _twitter_sess<br \/><b>Value:<\/b> 53D%253D\u2013dd0248313018490-<br \/><b>Purpose:<\/b> This cookie allows you to use functions within the X website.<br \/><b>Expiration:<\/b> at the end of the session<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><b>Note:<\/b> X also works with third-party providers. Therefore, during our test, we also detected the three Google Analytics cookies: _ga, _gat, and _gid.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">X uses the data collected partly to better understand user behavior and thereby improve its own services and advertising offers. The data also serves internal security measures.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><b>How long and where is the data stored?<\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">When X collects data from other websites, it is deleted, aggregated, or otherwise anonymized within a maximum of 30 days. X\u2019s servers are located in various data centers across the United States. It is therefore assumed that the data collected is gathered and stored in the U.S. Our research did not confirm whether X operates its own servers in Europe. Generally, X may store collected data as long as it is useful for the company, until you delete it, or until a legal retention period applies.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">X repeatedly states in its privacy policies that it does not store any data from external website visits if you or your browser are located in the European Economic Area or Switzerland. However, if you interact directly with X, it will of course store data about you.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">If you have an X account, you can manage your data by clicking on the \u201cProfile\u201d button and then selecting \u201cMore.\u201d After that, click on \u201cSettings and Privacy,\u201d where you can manage data processing individually.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">If you do not have an X account, you can go to <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/\"><span class=\"s1\">twitter.com<\/span><\/a>, then click on \u201cPersonalization.\u201d Under the section \u201cPersonalization and Data,\u201d you can manage the data that has been collected about you.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">As previously mentioned, most data is stored via cookies, which you can manage, disable, or delete in your browser. Please note that cookie settings apply only to the browser you are currently using. This means that if you use a different browser in the future, you will need to adjust your cookie preferences again. In the \u201cCookies\u201d section, you will find links to instructions for the most common browsers.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">You can also configure your browser to notify you whenever a cookie is about to be set. This allows you to decide on a case-by-case basis whether to allow or reject the cookie.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">X also uses your data for personalized advertising both within and outside of the X platform. In the settings section \u201cPersonalization and Data,\u201d you can disable personalized advertising.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">You can also disable personalized advertising when using X in a browser by visiting:<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/optout.aboutads.info\/?c=2&amp;lang=EN\"><span class=\"s1\">https:\/\/optout.aboutads.info\/?c=2&amp;lang=EN<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><b>Legal Basis<\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">If you have consented to the processing and storage of your data through integrated social media elements, this consent serves as the legal basis for data processing (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR). In general, your data is also processed based on our legitimate interest (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR) in facilitating fast and effective communication with you or other customers and business partners. We use integrated social media elements only if you have given your consent.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Most social media platforms also place cookies in your browser to store data. Therefore, we recommend that you read our dedicated cookie privacy text and review the privacy or cookie policies of the respective service provider.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">X also processes your data in the USA. We would like to point out that, according to the European Court of Justice, there is currently no adequate level of protection for data transfers to the USA. This may involve various risks regarding the legality and security of data processing.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">As a basis for data processing by recipients located in third countries (outside the European Union, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway\u2014particularly in the USA) or for the transfer of data to such countries, X uses what are known as Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) pursuant to Article 46(2) and (3) of the GDPR. Standard Contractual Clauses are template agreements provided by the EU Commission and are intended to ensure that your data also complies with European data protection standards when transferred to and stored in third countries (such as the USA). By using these clauses, X commits to maintaining the European level of data protection when processing your relevant data, even if the data is stored, processed, and managed in the USA. These clauses are based on an implementing decision by the EU Commission. You can find the decision and the applicable Standard Contractual Clauses here:<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/eur-lex.europa.eu\/eli\/dec_impl\/2021\/914\/oj?locale=en\"><span class=\"s1\">https:\/\/eur-lex.europa.eu\/eli\/dec_impl\/2021\/914\/oj?locale=en<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">More information about the Standard Contractual Clauses used by X can be found at:<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/gdpr.twitter.com\/en\/controller-to-controller-transfers.html\"><span class=\"s1\">https:\/\/gdpr.twitter.com\/en\/controller-to-controller-transfers.html<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">We hope this has given you a general overview of how X processes data. We do not receive any data from X and are not responsible for what X does with your data. If you have further questions on this topic, we recommend reviewing X&#8217;s privacy policy at:<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/en\/privacy\"><span class=\"s1\">https:\/\/twitter.com\/en\/privacy<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><b>Security &amp; Anti-Spam<\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><b>What is security and anti-spam software?<\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">With so-called security and anti-spam software, both you and we can protect ourselves from various spam or phishing emails and potential cyberattacks. Spam refers to mass-distributed advertising emails that you did not request. Such emails are often referred to as data garbage and can even incur costs. Phishing emails, on the other hand, are messages designed to build trust through fake communications or websites in order to obtain personal data.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Anti-spam software generally protects against unwanted spam messages or malicious emails that may, for example, introduce viruses into our system. We also use general firewall and security systems to protect our computers from unwanted network attacks.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><b>Why do we use security and anti-spam software?<\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">We place particular importance on security on our website\u2014after all, it\u2019s not just about our safety but especially about yours. Unfortunately, cyber threats have become an everyday occurrence in the world of IT and the internet. Hackers often attempt to steal personal data from IT systems through cyberattacks. That is why a strong defense system is absolutely necessary.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">A security system monitors all incoming and outgoing connections to our network or computer. To achieve an even higher level of protection against cyberattacks, we use, in addition to standardized security systems on our computers, external security services as well.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Unauthorized data traffic is better prevented in this way, and we protect ourselves from cybercrime.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><b>What data is processed by security and anti-spam software?<\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The specific data collected and stored depends, of course, on the service being used. However, we always strive to use programs that collect data sparingly or store only the data necessary to provide the intended service.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">In general, such services may collect data such as your name, address, IP address, email address, and technical data like your browser type or version. Performance and log data may also be collected to detect potential incoming threats in a timely manner. These data are processed as part of the services and in compliance with applicable laws, including the GDPR\u2014also for U.S.-based providers via Standard Contractual Clauses.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Some of these security services may also work with third-party providers who may store and\/or process data under instruction and in accordance with privacy policies and additional security measures. Data storage typically occurs via cookies.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><b>Duration of data processing<\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">We provide information on the duration of data processing further below, if available. For example, security programs may store data until you or we revoke the data storage. In general, personal data is stored only for as long as is strictly necessary to provide the respective services.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">In many cases, providers do not supply precise information about the storage duration. In general, personal data is stored only as long as it is absolutely necessary for the provision of the services.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><b>Right to object<\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">You have the right and the option at any time to withdraw your consent to the use of cookies or third-party security software. This can be done via our cookie management tool or through other opt-out mechanisms. For example, you can prevent data collection through cookies by managing, disabling, or deleting cookies in your browser.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Since such security services may also use cookies, we recommend reading our general privacy policy regarding cookies. To find out exactly what data is stored and processed about you, you should consult the respective privacy policies of the tools used.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><b>Legal basis<\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">We primarily use security services based on our legitimate interests (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR) in maintaining a robust security system to protect against various cyberattacks.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Certain data processing activities\u2014especially the use of cookies and security features\u2014require your explicit consent. If you have consented to the processing and storage of your data through integrated security services, this consent serves as the legal basis for data processing (Art. 6 para.1 lit. a GDPR). Most of the services we use place cookies in your browser to store data. For this reason, we recommend that you carefully read our cookie privacy policy as well as the privacy or cookie policies of the respective service providers.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">You can find information about specific tools\u2014if available\u2014in the following sections.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><b>Akismet Privacy Policy<\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">We use Akismet, an anti-spam solution for WordPress, on our website. The service provider is the American company Automattic Inc., 60 29th Street #343, San Francisco, CA 94110, USA.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Automattic also processes your data in the United States, among other places. Akismet\/Automattic is an active participant in the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, which ensures the lawful and secure transfer of personal data from EU citizens to the USA. You can find more information at:<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/commission.europa.eu\/document\/fa09cbad-dd7d-4684-ae60-be03fcb0fddf_en\"><span class=\"s1\">https:\/\/commission.europa.eu\/document\/fa09cbad-dd7d-4684-ae60-be03fcb0fddf_en<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Automattic also uses what are known as Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) pursuant to Article 46(2) and (3) of the GDPR. Standard Contractual Clauses are model templates provided by the EU Commission and are intended to ensure that your data continues to comply with European data protection standards even when transferred to and stored in third countries (such as the USA). Through the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework and the Standard Contractual Clauses, Automattic commits to upholding the European level of data protection when processing your relevant data, even if the data is stored, processed, and managed in the USA. These clauses are based on an implementing decision by the EU Commission.

The content is provided by third-party service providers and is therefore retrieved from their respective servers.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">These elements come from platforms such as YouTube, Vimeo, or Spotify. While using these portals is usually free, some content may be paid. Through these embedded elements, you can listen to or view the respective media directly on our website.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">When you use audio or video elements on our website, personal data may also be transmitted to, processed by, and stored by the respective service providers.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><b>Why do we use audio and video elements on our website?<\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Naturally, we want to offer you the best possible experience on our website. We recognize that content today is no longer limited to text and static images. Instead of just providing a link to a video, we offer audio and video formats directly on our site that are entertaining, informative\u2014or ideally, both. This enhances our service and makes it easier for you to access engaging content. In addition to texts and images, we thus provide video and\/or audio content.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><b>What data is stored by audio and video elements?<\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">When you visit a page on our website that contains an embedded video, your server connects to the service provider\u2019s server. In the process, data about you is also transmitted to the third party and stored there. Some data is collected and stored regardless of whether you have an account with the provider. This usually includes your IP address, browser type, operating system, and other general information about your device.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Most providers also collect information about your web activity, such as session duration, bounce rate which buttons you clicked, or through which website you accessed the service. All of this information is usually stored via cookies or pixel tags (also known as web beacons). Pseudonymized data is typically stored in cookies within your browser. The exact data that is stored and processed can always be found in the privacy policy of the respective provider.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><b>Duration of data processing<\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">How long the data is stored on the servers of third-party providers can be found either further down in the privacy section of the specific tool or in the provider\u2019s privacy policy. In general, personal data is only processed for as long as it is absolutely necessary to provide our services or products. This principle usually applies to third-party providers as well.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Typically, you can assume that certain data may remain stored on the servers of third-party providers for several years. Data, especially in cookies, can be stored for varying periods. Some cookies are deleted as soon as you leave the website, while others may remain stored in your browser for several years.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><b>Right to object<\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">You also have the right and the option at any time to revoke your consent to the use of cookies or third-party services. This can be done through our cookie management tool or other opt-out mechanisms. For example, you can prevent data collection by cookies by managing, disabling, or deleting cookies in your browser. The legality of data processing carried out prior to your withdrawal of consent remains unaffected.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Since the embedded audio and video features on our website typically use cookies, we recommend that you also read our general privacy policy regarding cookies. The privacy policies of the respective third-party providers will provide more detailed information about how your data is handled and stored.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><b>Legal Basis<\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">If you have consented to the processing and storage of your data through embedded audio and video elements, this consent serves as the legal basis for data processing (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR). In general, your data is also stored and processed based on our legitimate interest (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR) in fast and effective communication with you or other customers and business partners. We only use embedded audio and video elements if you have provided your consent.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><b>Spotify Privacy Policy<\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">We use Spotify on our website, a tool for streaming music and podcasts. The service provider is the Swedish company Spotify AB, Regeringsgatan 19, SE-111 53 Stockholm, Sweden.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">You can learn more about the data processed through the use of Spotify in their privacy policy at:<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.spotify.com\/de\/legal\/privacy-policy\/\"><span class=\"s1\">https:\/\/www.spotify.com\/de\/legal\/privacy-policy\/<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><b>YouTube Privacy Policy<\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><b>What is YouTube?<\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">We have embedded YouTube videos on our website to present interesting video content directly on our pages. YouTube is a video portal that has been a subsidiary of Google since 2006. It is operated by YouTube, LLC, 901 Cherry Ave., San Bruno, CA 94066, USA. When you access a page on our website that has a YouTube video embedded, your browser automatically connects to YouTube or Google&#8217;s servers. Depending on your settings, various data may be transmitted. For all data processing within the European Economic Area, Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland) is responsible.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Below, we explain in more detail which data is processed, why we embed YouTube videos, and how you can manage or delete your data.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">On YouTube, users can watch, rate, comment on, and upload videos for free. Over the years, YouTube has become one of the most important social media platforms worldwide. In order to display videos on our website, YouTube provides an embed code that we integrate into our site.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><b>Why do we use YouTube videos on our website?<\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">YouTube is the platform with the most visitors and the best content. We strive to offer you the best possible user experience on our website. And, of course, interesting videos are an essential part of that.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">With our embedded videos, we provide you with additional helpful content alongside our texts and images. Furthermore, embedded videos help our website appear more prominently in Google search results. Even when we run ads via Google Ads, the data collected allows Google to display these ads only to people who are genuinely interested in our offerings.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><b>What data is stored by YouTube?<\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">As soon as you visit one of our pages that has a YouTube video embedded, YouTube sets at least one cookie that stores your IP address and our URL. If you are logged into your YouTube account, YouTube can often associate your interactions on our website with your profile using cookies. This includes data such as session duration, bounce rate, approximate location, technical details such as browser type, screen resolution, or your internet provider. Additional data may include contact details, ratings, content shared on social media, or items you add to your YouTube favorites.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">If you are not logged into a Google or YouTube account, Google still stores data using a unique identifier linked to your device, browser, or app. This ensures, for example, that your preferred language setting is preserved. However, many types of interaction data cannot be stored since fewer cookies are set.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Below we list cookies that were set in a browser during our test. We show, on the one hand, cookies that are set without a logged-in YouTube account and, on the other hand, those set with a logged-in account. This list does not claim to be exhaustive, as the user data always depends on interactions on YouTube.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><b>Name:<\/b> YSC<br \/><b>Value:<\/b> b9-CV6ojI5Y313018490-1<br \/><b>Purpose:<\/b> This cookie registers a unique ID to store statistics about the viewed video.<br \/><b>Expiration:<\/b> after session end<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><b>Name:<\/b> PREF<br \/><b>Value:<\/b> f1=50000000<br \/><b>Purpose:<\/b> This cookie also registers your unique ID.

At <a href=\"https:\/\/datacenters.google\/\"><span class=\"s1\">https:\/\/datacenters.google\/<\/span><\/a>, you can see exactly where Google&#8217;s data centers are located. Your data is distributed across the servers. This ensures faster accessibility and better protection against manipulation.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Google stores the collected data for varying durations. Some data can be deleted by you at any time, other data is automatically deleted after a certain period, and some data is retained by Google for a longer duration. Some data (such as items from \u00abMy Activity,\u00bb photos or documents, products) stored in your Google account will remain stored until you delete them. Even if you are not logged into a Google account, you can still delete certain data linked to your device, browser, or app.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><b>How can I delete or prevent the storage of my data?<\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">You can generally delete data manually in your Google account. With the auto-delete feature introduced in 2019 for location and activity data, information is stored for either 3 or 18 months, depending on your preference, and then automatically deleted.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Regardless of whether you have a Google account, you can configure your browser to delete or deactivate Google cookies. Depending on the browser you use, this process varies. In the \u201cCookies\u201d section, you will find relevant links to instructions for common browsers.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><b>If you generally do not want to allow cookies<\/b>, you can configure your browser to notify you whenever a cookie is about to be set. This way, you can decide for each individual cookie whether to allow it or not.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\"><b>Legal Basis<\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">If you have given your consent for data to be processed and stored by embedded YouTube elements, this consent serves as the legal basis for data processing (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR). In general, your data may also be stored and processed based on our legitimate interest (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR) in maintaining fast and effective communication with you and other customers or business partners. However, we only use embedded YouTube elements if you have granted consent.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">YouTube also places cookies in your browser to store data. Therefore, we recommend reading our privacy policy on cookies carefully and also reviewing the respective privacy policies or cookie guidelines of the service providers involved.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">YouTube processes your data, among other locations, in the USA. YouTube (or Google) is an active participant in the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework, which regulates the proper and secure transfer of personal data from EU citizens to the USA. You can find more information here:<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/commission.europa.eu\/document\/fa09cbad-dd7d-4684-ae60-be03fcb0fddf_en\"><span class=\"s1\">https:\/\/commission.europa.eu\/document\/fa09cbad-dd7d-4684-ae60-be03fcb0fddf_en<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Google also uses what are known as <b>Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs)<\/b> in accordance with Art. 46 para. 2 and 3 of the GDPR. These SCCs are template agreements provided by the EU Commission and are designed to ensure that your data complies with European data protection standards even when transferred to third countries (such as the USA) and stored there. Through the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework and these clauses, Google commits to maintaining the European level of data protection when processing your relevant data\u2014even if stored, processed, and managed in the USA. You can find the corresponding decision and SCCs here:<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/eur-lex.europa.eu\/eli\/dec_impl\/2021\/914\/oj?locale=en\"><span class=\"s1\">https:\/\/eur-lex.europa.eu\/eli\/dec_impl\/2021\/914\/oj?locale=en<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The Google Ads Data Processing Terms, which reference these clauses, can be found at:<br \/>https:\/\/business.safety.google\/intl\/en\/adsprocessorterms\/<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Since YouTube is a subsidiary of Google, they share a common privacy policy.

This button is typically recognizable by the classic YouTube logo. The logo usually displays the words \u201cSubscribe\u201d or \u201cYouTube\u201d in white letters on a red background, accompanied by the white \u201cplay\u201d symbol. However, the button may also appear in a different design.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Our YouTube channel regularly features fun, interesting, or exciting videos. With the embedded \u201cSubscribe\u201d button, you can subscribe to our channel directly from our website without needing to visit the YouTube platform. Our goal is to make access to our content as easy as possible. Please note that YouTube may store and process data when this button is displayed.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">According to Google, YouTube sets <b>at least one cookie<\/b> when the Subscribe button is displayed on our site. This cookie stores your IP address and our URL. YouTube may also collect information about your browser, your approximate location, and your default language settings. In our test, the following four cookies were set without being logged into YouTube:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"ul1\">\n<li class=\"li1\"><b>Name:<\/b> YSC<br \/><b>Value:<\/b> b9-CV6ojI5313018490Y<br \/><b>Purpose:<\/b> Registers a unique ID to store video statistics.<br \/><b>Expiration:<\/b> End of session<\/li>\n<li class=\"li1\"><b>Name:<\/b> PREF<br \/><b>Value:<\/b> f1=50000000<br \/><b>Purpose:<\/b> Also registers a unique ID.

YouTube can learn, for example, how long you spend on our site, which browser you use, your preferred screen resolution, and what actions you take.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">YouTube uses this data both to improve its own services and to provide analytics and statistics for advertisers who use Google Ads.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\"><b>YouTube Similar Audiences Privacy Policy<\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">We also use the advertising tool <b>YouTube Similar Audiences<\/b>.

However, this can be challenging\u2014especially with technical and legal topics. Sometimes it is necessary to use legal terms (e.g., \u201cpersonal data\u201d) or technical expressions (e.g., \u201ccookies\u201d, \u201cIP address\u201d).<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">We do not want to use these terms without explanation. Below, you will find an <b>alphabetical glossary of important terms<\/b> used in this privacy policy, including definitions from the GDPR and our own explanations where appropriate.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\"><b>Final Words<\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><b>Congratulations!<\/b> If you&#8217;re reading this, you&#8217;ve either made it through our entire privacy policy or at least scrolled all the way here. As you can see from the length of this document, we take the protection of your personal data very seriously.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">It\u2019s important to us to inform you as transparently as possible about how your data is processed. We don&#8217;t just want to tell you which data is collected, but also explain why we use certain software tools.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Typically, privacy policies sound highly technical and legal. Since most of you are neither developers nor lawyers, we\u2019ve tried to use plain and clear language wherever possible. Of course, this isn&#8217;t always feasible due to the complexity of the topic. That&#8217;s why the most important terms are explained at the end of the policy.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">If you have any questions about privacy on our website, please don\u2019t hesitate to contact us or the responsible party listed.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">We wish you a great day and hope to welcome you back to our website soon.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">All texts are protected by copyright.<br \/>Source: Privacy policy created using the data protection generator for Germany by AdSimple.
