Privacy Policy
Zuletzt geändert: 08. Mai 2018
Welcome to the websites of zadego GmbH. We are very pleased about your interest in our company.
Data protection is of utmost importance to the management and employees of zadego GmbH. The use of the zadego GmbH website is generally possible without providing any personal data. However, if an individual wishes to use specific services offered by our company through our website, processing personal data may become necessary. If such processing is required and no legal basis exists for it, we will generally obtain the individual's consent.
The processing of personal data—for example, the name, address, email address, or telephone number of an individual—is always carried out in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and in compliance with the country-specific data protection regulations applicable to zadego GmbH. Through this privacy policy, our company aims to inform the public about the nature, scope, and purpose of the personal data we collect, use, and process. Furthermore, this privacy policy informs affected individuals about the rights to which they are entitled.
zadego GmbH, as the data controller, has implemented numerous technical and organizational measures to ensure as complete a protection as possible for the personal data processed via this website. Nevertheless, internet-based data transmissions can inherently contain security vulnerabilities, so absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, every individual is free to transmit personal data to us by alternative means, for example by telephone.
This privacy policy applies to the website www.easybooking.eu and all associated subpages of zadego GmbH. Individual pages may contain links to other providers, to which this privacy policy does not apply, and we therefore assume no liability for the content of these sites.
1. Definitions
The privacy policy of zadego GmbH is based on the terminologies used by the European legislator and regulator when enacting the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Our privacy policy is intended to be easily readable and understandable for both the public and our customers and business partners. To ensure this, we would like to explain the terminologies used.
We use the following terms in this privacy policy, including but not limited to:
- personal data
Personenbezogene Daten sind alle Informationen, die sich auf eine identifizierte oder identifizierbare natürliche Person (im Folgenden „betroffene Person“) beziehen. Als identifizierbar wird eine natürliche Person angesehen, die direkt oder indirekt, insbesondere mittels Zuordnung zu einer Kennung wie einem Namen, zu einer Kennnummer, zu Standortdaten, zu einer Online-Kennung oder zu einem oder mehreren besonderen Merkmalen, die Ausdruck der physischen, physiologischen, genetischen, psychischen, wirtschaftlichen, kulturellen oder sozialen Identität dieser natürlichen Person sind, identifiziert werden kann. - affected person
Betroffene Person ist jede identifizierte oder identifizierbare natürliche Person, deren personenbezogene Daten von dem für die Verarbeitung Verantwortlichen verarbeitet werden. - processing
Processing means any process or series of operations related to personal data, such as gathering, collecting, organizing, sorting, storing, adapting or modifying, reading, querying, using, with or without the aid of automated procedures; disclosure by submission, dissemination or other form of provision, reconciliation or association, restriction, erasure or destruction. - limitation of processing
Restriction of the processing is the marking of stored personal data with the aim to limit their future processing - profiling
Profiling is any kind of automated processing of personal data that consists of using that personal information to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular aspects relating to job performance, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behavior, whereabouts or relocation of that natural person. - pseudonymisation
Pseudonymisation is the processing of personal data in such a way that personal data can no longer be attributed to a specific data subject without the need for additional information, provided that such additional information is kept separate and subject to technical and organizational measures to ensure that the personal data cannot be assigned to an identified or identifiable natural person. - controller or person responsible for controlling
The controller or person responsible for controlling is the natural or legal person, public authority, body or institution that, alone or in concert with others, decides on the purposes and means of processing personal data. Where the purposes and means of such processing are determined by Union law or the law of the Member States, the controller or the specific criteria for his designation may be provided for under Union or national law. - processor
The processor is the natural or legal person, public authority, body or institution that processes personal data on behalf of the controller. - recipient
Recipient is the natural or legal person, public authority, body or institution to whom personal data is disclosed, whether or not it is a third party. However, authorities which may receive personal data under Union or national law in connection with a particular mission are not considered as beneficiaries. - third parties
Third is a natural or legal person, public authority, body or institution other than the data subject, the controller, the processor and the persons authorized under the direct responsibility of the controller or the processor to process the personal data. - consent
Consent is any voluntarily given and unambiguously expressed, in the form of a statement or other unambiguous confirmatory act by the data subject for the particular case, by which the data subject indicates that they consent to the processing of the personal data concerning him / her is.
2. Name and address of the controller
The data controller within the meaning of the General Data Protection Regulation, other data protection laws applicable in the Member States of the European Union, and other regulations with a data protection character is:
zadego GmbH
Tschamlerstraße 4
6020 Innsbruck (Austria)
Tel.: +43 5 09 08
E-mail: office@easybooking.eu
Website: www.easybooking.eu
If you have any questions, suggestions, or concerns regarding this policy or the use of your data, please contact our Data Protection Coordinator directly at:
E-mail: datenschutz@easybooking.eu
3. Cookies
The websites of zadego GmbH use cookies. Cookies are text files that are stored and saved on a computer system via an internet browser.
Many websites and servers use cookies. Many cookies contain a so-called cookie ID—a unique identifier that consists of a string of characters. This cookie ID allows websites and servers to associate the specific internet browser in which the cookie is stored with that browser, thereby distinguishing it from other browsers containing different cookies. In other words, a specific internet browser can be recognized and identified by its unique cookie ID.
By using cookies, zadego GmbH can provide users of this website with more user-friendly services that would not be possible without cookies.
Cookies enable us to optimize the information and offers on our website to suit the user’s needs. As mentioned, cookies allow us to recognize users when they revisit our website. The purpose of this recognition is to make using our website easier. For example, a user of a website that uses cookies does not have to re-enter login details on every visit because the website retrieves this information from the cookie stored on the user’s computer. Another example is the shopping cart cookie in an online store: the online shop remembers the items that a customer has placed in the virtual shopping cart via a cookie.
You can prevent our website from setting cookies at any time by adjusting the settings in your internet browser, thereby permanently refusing the setting of cookies. Furthermore, cookies that have already been set can be deleted at any time via your internet browser or other software programs. This is possible in all common internet browsers. Please note that if you disable cookies in your browser, not all functions of our website may be fully available.
4. Collection of general data and information when visiting the website of zadego GmbH
The zadego GmbH website collects a range of general data and information with each visit by an individual or an automated system. This general data and information are stored in the server's log files. The following information may be recorded: (1) the types and versions of browsers used, (2) the operating system used by the accessing system, (3) the website from which an accessing system reached our website (the so-called referrer), (4) the subpages of our website that are accessed by an accessing system, (5) the date and time of a visit to the website, (6) an Internet protocol address (IP address), (7) the Internet service provider of the accessing system, and (8) other similar data and information used for threat prevention in the event of attacks on our IT systems.
When using this general data and information, zadego GmbH does not draw any conclusions about the individual. Instead, this information is needed to (1) deliver the content of our website correctly, (2) optimize the content of our website as well as the advertising for it, (3) ensure the continuous functionality of our IT systems and the technology of our website, and (4) provide law enforcement agencies with the necessary information for prosecution in the event of a cyberattack. These anonymously collected data and information are therefore evaluated statistically and with the aim of enhancing data protection and data security in our company, ultimately ensuring an optimal level of protection for the personal data we process. The anonymous data from the server log files are stored separately from any personal data provided by an individual.
5. Contact via the website
The website of zadego GmbH includes, in accordance with legal requirements, information that enables quick electronic contact with our company as well as immediate communication with us, which also includes a general address for electronic mail (email address). If an individual contacts the data controller via email or a contact form, the personal data transmitted by the individual is automatically stored. Such personal data, voluntarily provided by an individual to the data controller, is stored for the purpose of processing or contacting the individual. This personal data is not passed on to third parties.
6. Login possibility for PMS easybooking
On this website, you have the opportunity to log in to the online PMS system "easybooking" provided by zadego GmbH. General information and terms of use related to this system can be found in the current Terms and Conditions, available at www.easybooking.eu/de/agb.
7. Comment function in the blog on the website
The zadego GmbH website offers users the opportunity to leave individual comments on a blog located on the website of the data controller. A blog is an online portal—typically publicly accessible—where one or more individuals, known as bloggers or web bloggers, can post articles or share their thoughts in what are known as blog posts. These blog posts can generally be commented on by third parties.
When an individual leaves a comment on the blog published on this website, in addition to the comment itself, information such as the time the comment was submitted and the username (or pseudonym) chosen by the individual is stored and published. Furthermore, the IP address assigned by the individual's Internet Service Provider (ISP) is recorded. This recording of the IP address is carried out for security reasons and in case the individual, through the comment, infringes on the rights of third parties or posts unlawful content. The storage of these personal data is therefore in the interest of the data controller, so that they may be able to exonerate themselves in the event of a legal violation. These collected personal data will not be passed on to third parties, unless such transfer is required by law or serves the legal defense of the data controller.
8. Routine deletion and restriction of personal data
The data controller processes and stores personal data of the data subject only for the period necessary to achieve the intended purpose of storage, or as provided for by the European legislator or another legislator in laws or regulations to which the data controller is subject.
If the purpose of storage ceases to exist or if a storage period prescribed by the European legislator or another competent legislator expires, the personal data will be routinely blocked or deleted in accordance with legal requirements.
9. Rights of the user
- a) Right to Confirmation
Every data subject has the right granted by the European legislator to obtain confirmation from the data controller as to whether personal data concerning them is being processed. If a data subject wishes to exercise this right to confirmation, they may contact our Data Protection Officer or another employee of the data controller at any time. - b) Right of Access
Every individual whose personal data is processed has the right, as granted by the European legislator, to obtain free-of-charge access from the data controller to the personal data stored about them, along with a copy of that information, at any time. Furthermore, the European legislator has granted the data subject the right to obtain the following information: - the processing purposes
- the categories of personal data being processed
- the recipients or categories of recipients to whom the personal data have been disclosed or are still being disclosed, in particular to recipients in third countries or to international organizations
- if possible, the planned duration for which the personal data will be stored or, if that is not possible, the criteria for determining that duration
- the right of rectification or erasure of the personal data concerning them or restriction of processing by the controller or a right to object to such processing
- the existence of a right of appeal to a supervisory authority
- if the personal data are not collected from the data subject: all available information on the source of the data
- das Bestehen einer automatisierten Entscheidungsfindung einschließlich Profiling gemäß Artikel 22 Abs.1 und 4 DS-GVO und — zumindest in diesen Fällen — aussagekräftige Informationen über die involvierte Logik sowie die Tragweite und die angestrebten Auswirkungen einer derartigen Verarbeitung für die betroffene Person
In addition, the data subject has a right of access as to whether personal data has been transmitted to a third country or to an international organization.
If that is the case, then the data subject has the right to obtain information about the appropriate guarantees in connection with the transfer.- c) Right to Rectification
Every data subject has the right granted by the European legislator to request the immediate rectification of any inaccurate personal data concerning them. Furthermore, taking into account the purposes of the processing, the data subject has the right to request the completion of incomplete personal data – even by means of a supplementary statement.
If a data subject wishes to exercise this right to rectification, they may contact our Data Protection Officer or another employee of the data controller at any time. - d) Right to Erasure (Right to be Forgotten)
Every individual whose personal data is processed has the right granted by the European legislator to request that the personal data concerning them be erased immediately, provided that one of the following reasons applies and the processing is no longer necessary: - The personal data has been collected or otherwise processed for such purposes for which they are no longer necessary.
- The data subject withdraws their consent on which the processing was based in accordance with Article 6(1)(a) or Article 9(2)(a) of the GDPR, and no other legal basis exists for the processing.
- The data subject objects to the processing in accordance with Article 21(1) of the GDPR, and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing, or the data subject objects to the processing in accordance with Article 21(2) of the GDPR.
- The personal data were processed unlawfully.
- The deletion of personal data is required to fulfill a legal obligation under Union or national law to which the controller is subject.
- The personal data was collected with respect to information society services offered in accordance with Article 8(1) of the GDPR.
If one of the aforementioned reasons applies and a data subject wishes to initiate the deletion of personal data stored by zadego GmbH, they may contact our Data Protection Officer or another employee of the data controller at any time. The Data Protection Officer or another employee will ensure that the deletion request is complied with immediately.
If the personal data has been made public by zadego GmbH and our company is obligated as the data controller to delete the personal data in accordance with Article 17(1) of the GDPR, then zadego GmbH, taking into account the available technology and implementation costs, will take appropriate measures, including technical measures, to inform other data controllers who process the published personal data that the data subject has requested the deletion of all links to these personal data or of copies or replications of these personal data, insofar as such processing is not necessary. The Data Protection Officer or another employee will arrange the necessary steps on a case-by-case basis.- e) Right to Restriction of Processing
Any person affected by the processing of personal data shall have the right to require the controller to restrict the processing if any of the following conditions apply: - The accuracy of the personal data is contested by the data subject for a period of time that enables the person responsible to verify the accuracy of the personal data.
- The processing is unlawful, the data subject refuses to delete the personal data and instead requests the restriction of the use of personal data.
- The data controller no longer needs the personal data for processing purposes, but the data subject requires them to assert, exercise or defend their rights.
- The data subject has objected to the processing pursuant to Article 21(1) of the GDPR, and it has not yet been determined whether the controller’s legitimate interests override those of the data subject.
If one of the aforementioned conditions applies and a data subject wishes to request a restriction on the processing of personal data stored by zadego GmbH, they may contact our Data Protection Officer or another employee of the data controller at any time. The Data Protection Officer or another employee will then implement the restriction on processing.- f) Right to Data Portability
Every individual whose personal data is processed has the right granted by the European legislator to receive the personal data concerning them, which they have provided to a data controller, in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format. They also have the right to transmit those data to another data controller without hindrance from the controller to whom the personal data have been provided, provided that the processing is based on consent pursuant to Article 6(1)(a) or Article 9(2)(a) of the GDPR, or on a contract pursuant to Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR, and that the processing is carried out by automated means, unless the processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller.
Furthermore, when exercising their right to data portability pursuant to Article 20(1) of the GDPR, the data subject has the right to require that the personal data be transmitted directly from one data controller to another, where technically feasible and provided that this does not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others.
To exercise the right to data portability, the data subject may contact the Data Protection Officer appointed by zadego GmbH or another employee of the data controller at any time. - g) Right to Object
Every individual whose personal data is processed has the right granted by the European legislator to object, at any time and for reasons arising from their particular situation, to the processing of personal data concerning them which is based on Article 6(1)(e) or (f) of the GDPR. This right also applies to profiling based on these provisions.
Zadego GmbH no longer processes the personal data in the event of an objection, unless we can prove that there are compelling legitimate reasons for the processing that outweigh the interests, rights and freedoms of the data subject, or the processing is for assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims.
If zadego GmbH processes personal data in order to operate direct mail, the data subject has the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data for the purpose of such advertising. This also applies to the profiling, as far as it is associated with such direct mail. If the data subject objects to zadego GmbH for the purposes of direct advertising, zadego GmbH will no longer process the personal data for these purposes.
Additionally, the data subject has the right to object, for reasons arising from their particular situation, to the processing of personal data concerning them that is carried out by zadego GmbH for scientific or historical research purposes or for statistical purposes pursuant to Article 89(1) of the GDPR, unless such processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest.
To exercise the right to object, the data subject may contact the Data Protection Officer of zadego GmbH or another employee directly. Furthermore, the data subject is free to exercise their right to object in connection with the use of information society services—regardless of Directive 2002/58/EC—using automated procedures that employ technical specifications. - h) Automated Decisions in Individual Cases Including Profiling
Every individual whose personal data is processed has the right granted by the European legislator not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing—including profiling—that produces legal effects concerning them or similarly significantly affects them, unless the decision (1) is necessary for the conclusion or performance of a contract between the data subject and the controller, or (2) is authorized by Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject and which also lays down appropriate measures to safeguard the rights and freedoms as well as the legitimate interests of the data subject, or (3) is made with the explicit consent of the data subject.
If the decision is either (1) necessary for the conclusion or performance of a contract between the individual and the controller, or (2) based on the explicit consent of the individual, zadego GmbH will take appropriate measures to safeguard the rights, freedoms, and legitimate interests of the affected individual, including at least the right to obtain human intervention by the controller, to express their point of view, and to challenge the decision.
If a data subject wishes to assert rights regarding automated decisions, they may contact our Data Protection Officer or another employee of the data controller at any time. - i) Right to Withdraw Consent for Data Processing
Every individual whose personal data is processed has the right granted by the European legislator to withdraw their consent to the processing of personal data at any time. If a data subject wishes to exercise their right to withdraw consent, they may contact our Data Protection Officer or another employee of the data controller at any time.
10. Data protection in applications and in the application process
The data controller collects and processes the personal data of applicants for the purpose of handling the application process. The processing may also take place electronically. This is particularly the case when an applicant submits the relevant application documents electronically, for example, via email or through a web form on the website, to the data controller. If the data controller enters into an employment contract with an applicant, the transmitted data will be stored for the purpose of managing the employment relationship in accordance with legal requirements. If no employment contract is concluded with the applicant, the application documents will be automatically deleted six months after the rejection decision has been communicated, unless there are other legitimate interests of the data controller that oppose deletion. An example of such a legitimate interest is, for instance, the obligation to provide evidence in a proceeding under the General Equal Treatment Act (AGG).
11. Data Protection Provisions for the Use and Application of Facebook
The controller has integrated components of the company Facebook on this website. Facebook is a social network.
A social network is an Internet-based social meeting place, an online community that typically allows users to communicate with each other and interact in virtual space. A social network can serve as a platform to exchange views and experiences or allows the Internet community to provide personal or business information. Facebook allows social network users to create private profiles, upload photos and socialize via friend requests.
The operating company of Facebook is Facebook, Inc., 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA. For the processing of personal data, if a data subject resides outside the USA or Canada, the data controller is Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland.
Each visit to one of the individual pages of this website, which is operated by the controller and on which a Facebook component (Facebook plug-in) has been integrated, the Internet browser on the information technology system of the person concerned automatically by the respective Facebook Component causes a representation of the corresponding Facebook component of Facebook to download. An overview of all Facebook plug-ins can be found at https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/?locale=en_US. As part of this technical process, Facebook receives information about which specific underside of our website is visited by the person concerned.
If the data subject is simultaneously logged into Facebook, Facebook recognizes with each visit to our website which specific subpage the data subject is accessing throughout their entire stay on our website. This information is collected by the Facebook component and is assigned by Facebook to the respective Facebook account of the data subject. If the data subject clicks one of the integrated Facebook buttons on our website—such as the “Like” button—or leaves a comment, Facebook associates this information with the data subject’s personal Facebook user account and stores the corresponding personal data.
Facebook always receives information via the Facebook component that the data subject has visited our website if the data subject is logged in to Facebook at the same time as accessing our website; this happens regardless of whether the person clicks on the Facebook component or not. If such a transfer of this information to Facebook is not wanted by the data subject, it can prevent the transfer by logging out of their Facebook account before calling our website.
The data policy published by Facebook, which is available at https://de-de.facebook.com/about/privacy/, provides information on the collection, processing and use of personal data by Facebook. It also explains which options Facebook offers to protect the privacy of the data subject. In addition, different applications are available, which make it possible to suppress data transmission to Facebook, for example, the Facebook blocker of the provider Webgraph, which can be obtained at http://webgraph.com/resources/facebookblocker/. Such applications can be used by the data subject to suppress data transmission to Facebook.
12. Data Protection Provisions for the Use and Application of Google Analytics (with Anonymization Function)
The data controller has integrated the Google Analytics component (with anonymization function) on this website. Google Analytics is a web analytics service. Web analytics involves the collection, aggregation, and analysis of data on the behavior of visitors to websites. A web analytics service, among other things, collects data about which website a data subject came from (the so-called referrer), which subpages of the website are accessed, and how often and for how long a subpage is viewed. Web analytics is predominantly used to optimize a website and to perform a cost-benefit analysis of online advertising.
The operating company of the Google Analytics component is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheater Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA.
For web analytics via Google Analytics, the data controller uses the parameter “_gat._anonymizeIp.” With this parameter, Google shortens and anonymizes the IP address of the data subject’s internet connection when access to our website originates from a Member State of the European Union or from another contracting state of the Agreement on the European Economic Area.
The purpose of the Google Analytics component is to analyze visitor flows on our website. Among other things, Google uses the data and information obtained to evaluate the use of our website, to compile for us online reports showing the activities on our websites, and to provide other services related to the use of our website.
Google Analytics places a cookie on the data subject’s device. As explained above, cookies are small text files that are stored on a computer system via an internet browser. By setting the cookie, Google is enabled to analyze the usage of our website. With each visit to one of the individual pages of this website, which is operated by the data controller and on which a Google Analytics component is integrated, the internet browser on the data subject’s device is automatically prompted by the respective Google Analytics component to transmit data for online analysis to Google. As part of this technical process, Google receives personal data, such as the IP address of the data subject, which is used, among other things, to track the origin of visitors and clicks and subsequently to facilitate commission billing.
The cookie stores personal information, such as the time of access, the location from which the access was made, and the frequency of the data subject’s visits to our website. With each visit to our website, this personal data—including the IP address of the internet connection used by the data subject—is transmitted to Google in the United States of America. Google stores this personal data in the United States. Through this technical process, Google may, under certain circumstances, disclose these collected personal data to third parties.
The affected person can prevent the setting of cookies through our website, as shown above, at any time by means of a corresponding setting of the Internet browser used and thus permanently contradict the setting of cookies. Such a setting of the Internet browser used would also prevent Google from setting a cookie on the information technology system of the person concerned. In addition, a cookie already set by Google Analytics can be deleted at any time via the Internet browser or other software programs.
Furthermore, the data subject has the option of objecting to and preventing the collection of the data generated by Google Analytics for the use of this website and the processing of this data by Google. To do this, the person must download and install a browser add-on at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. This browser add-on informs Google Analytics via JavaScript that no data and information about website visits may be transmitted to Google Analytics. The installation of the browser add-on is considered by Google as a contradiction. If the data subject's information technology system is later deleted, formatted or reinstalled, the data subject must re-install the browser add-on to disable Google Analytics. If the browser add-on is uninstalled or disabled by the data subject or any other person within their sphere of control, it is possible to reinstall or reactivate the browser add-on.
Additional information and Google's privacy policy can be found at https://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy/, and http://www.google.com/analytics/terms/en.html. Google Analytics is explained in more detail at https://www.google.com/intl/de_de/analytics/ .
13. Data Protection Provisions for the Use and Application of Google AdWords
The controller has integrated Google AdWords on this website. Google AdWords is an Internet advertising service that allows advertisers to run both Google and Google Network search engine results. Google AdWords allows an advertiser to pre-set keywords that will display an ad on Google's search engine results only when the search engine retrieves a keyword-related search result. In the Google Network, ads are distributed on topical web pages using an automated algorithm and according to pre-defined keywords.
The operating company for the services of Google AdWords is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheater Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA.
The purpose of Google AdWords is to promote our website by displaying interest-based advertising on third-party websites and in the search engine results of Google's search engine and by displaying advertisements on our website.
If a data subject reaches our website via a Google ad, Google will place a so-called conversion cookie on the data subject’s device. As explained above, cookies are small text files stored on a device via an internet browser. A conversion cookie expires after thirty days and is not used to identify the data subject. As long as the cookie is active, it tracks whether specific subpages—such as the shopping cart of an online store system—were accessed on our website. Through the conversion cookie, both we and Google can determine whether a data subject, who arrived at our website via a Google AdWords ad, generated a sale (i.e., completed a purchase) or abandoned it.
The data and information collected through the use of the conversion cookie are used by Google to create visitor statistics for our website. These visit statistics are then used by us to determine the total number of users who have been sent to us through AdWords ads, in order to determine the success or failure of each AdWords ad and to optimize our AdWords ads for the future, neither our company nor any other Google AdWords advertiser receives any information from Google that could identify the data subject.
The conversion cookie stores personal information, such as the webpages visited by the data subject. With each visit to our website, personal data—including the IP address of the internet connection used by the data subject—is transmitted to Google in the United States of America. Google stores this personal data in the United States. Under certain circumstances, Google may disclose this technical data to third parties.
Furthermore, the data subject has the opportunity to object to Google's interest-based advertising. To do this, the person concerned must access the link www.google.com/settings/ads from each of the Internet browsers they use and make the desired settings there.

14. Data Protection Provisions for the Use and Application of YouTube
The data controller has integrated YouTube components on this website. YouTube is an online video portal that enables video publishers to upload video clips for free and allows other users to view, rate, and comment on these videos at no cost. YouTube permits the publication of all types of videos—ranging from complete films and television programs to music videos, trailers, or user-generated content—making them accessible via the internet portal.
YouTube's operating company is YouTube, LLC, 901 Cherry Ave., San Bruno, CA 94066, USA. YouTube, LLC is a subsidiary of Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheater Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA.
With each visit to an individual page on this website—which is operated by the data controller and on which a YouTube component (YouTube video) is integrated—the internet browser on the data subject’s device is automatically prompted by the respective YouTube component to download and display the corresponding YouTube content. Further information about YouTube can be found at https://www.youtube.com/yt/about/en/. As part of this technical process, YouTube and Google are aware of the specific bottom of our site visited by the person concerned.
If the data subject is simultaneously logged into YouTube, YouTube can determine, when a page containing a YouTube video is accessed, which specific subpage of our website the data subject is visiting. This information is collected by YouTube and Google and assigned to the data subject’s respective YouTube account. YouTube and Google will receive information via the YouTube component each time the data subject visits our website, provided that the data subject is logged into YouTube at the time of the visit; this occurs regardless of whether the data subject clicks on a YouTube video or not. If the data subject does not wish for such information to be transmitted to YouTube and Google, they can prevent this by logging out of their YouTube account before accessing our website.
YouTube's privacy policy, available at https://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy/, identifies the collection, processing, and use of personally identifiable information by YouTube and Google.
15. Data Protection Provisions for the Use and Application of Hotjar
This website utilizes features of the web service Hotjar. This service is operated by Hotjar Ltd., a European company headquartered in Malta. Hotjar uses cookies—small text files that are stored on your computer—which enable the analysis of how you use the website. The information generated by the cookie regarding your use of this website is typically transmitted to a Hotjar server and stored there.
Further information and detailed information on the service of Hotjar can be found at www.hotjar.com/legal/policies/privacy .
You may object to the use of Hotjar. Instructions are available at www.hotjar.com/opt-out .
16. Legal Basis for Processing
Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing operations where we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose. If the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, as is the case for processing operations required for the delivery of goods or the provision of any other service or consideration, the processing is based on Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR. The same applies to those processing operations that are necessary for carrying out pre-contractual measures, for example, in cases of inquiries regarding our products or services.If our company is subject to a legal obligation that requires the processing of personal data, such as for the fulfillment of tax obligations, the processing is based on Article 6(1)(c) of the GDPR. In rare cases, the processing of personal data may be necessary in order to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor were injured on our premises and, as a result, their name, age, health insurance details, or other vital information had to be passed on to a doctor, hospital, or other third party. In such instances, the processing would be based on Article 6(1)(d) of the GDPR.Finally, processing operations may be based on Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. This legal basis applies to processing operations not covered by any of the aforementioned legal bases, where the processing is necessary for the purposes of legitimate interests pursued by our company or by a third party, provided that the interests, fundamental rights, and freedoms of the data subject do not override those interests. Such processing operations are permitted to us in particular because they were explicitly mentioned by the European legislator. In this regard, it was held that a legitimate interest could be assumed if the data subject is a customer of the controller (Recital 47, second sentence, GDPR).
17. Legitimate Interests Pursued by the Controller or a Third Party
If the processing of personal data is based on Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR, our legitimate interest is to conduct our business operations for the benefit of the well-being of all our employees and our shareholders.
18. Duration for Which the Personal Data Is Stored
The criterion for the duration of the storage of personal data is the respective statutory retention period. After the deadline, the corresponding data will be routinely deleted, if they are no longer required to fulfill the contract or to initiate a contract.
19. Legal or Contractual Provisions for the Provision of Personal Data; Necessity for Contract Conclusion; Obligation of the Data Subject to Provide Personal Data; Possible Consequences of Non-Provision
We inform you that providing personal data is sometimes legally required (e.g., tax regulations) or may arise from contractual agreements (e.g., information about the contracting party). In some cases, the conclusion of a contract necessitates that a data subject provides us with personal data, which must then be processed by us. For instance, a data subject is obliged to provide personal data if our company enters into a contract with them. Failure to provide the personal data would result in the contract not being concluded. Before providing personal data, the data subject must contact our Data Protection Officer. Our Data Protection Officer will inform the data subject on a case-by-case basis whether the provision of personal data is legally or contractually required or necessary for the conclusion of the contract, whether there is an obligation to provide the personal data, and what the consequences of non-provision would be.
20. Existence of Automated Decision-Making
As a responsible company we refrain from automatic decision-making or profiling.
