Integration of Third-Party Services and Content

Based on our legitimate interests (i.e., interest in the analysis, optimization, and economic operation of our online offering in the sense of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f. GDPR), we integrate content or service offerings from third-party providers within our online offering to include their content and services, such as videos or fonts. This always requires that the third-party providers of this content perceive the users' IP address, as they would not be able to send the content to their browsers without the IP address. The IP address is therefore necessary for displaying this content. We strive to use only content whose respective providers use the IP address solely for delivering the content. Third-party providers may also use so-called pixel tags (invisible graphics, also known as “web beacons”) for statistical or marketing purposes. “Pixel tags” can be used to evaluate information such as visitor traffic on the pages of this website. The pseudonymous information can also be stored in cookies on the users' device and may include technical information about the browser and operating system, referring websites, visit time, and other details about the use of our online offering, as well as being linked with such information from other sources.

Google Fonts

We integrate the fonts (“Google Fonts”) from the provider Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. Privacy Policy: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/, Opt-Out: https://adssettings.google.com/authenticated.

Your Rights

You generally have the right to rectification, information, restriction, deletion, data portability, revocation, and objection. If you believe that the processing of your data violates data protection law, you can complain to the supervisory authority. The same applies if you believe that your data protection rights have been violated in any way.

Deletion of Data

The data we collect and process will be deleted or its processing restricted in accordance with Art. 17 and 18 of the GDPR. Unless otherwise specified, we delete stored data as soon as it is no longer required for its intended purpose and there is no longer a legal retention obligation. If the data cannot be deleted because it is required for other legally permissible purposes, the processing of this data will be restricted. This means that the data will be blocked and not processed for other purposes. This applies, for example, to data that must be retained for tax reasons.
