The information generated by the cookie about your use of the website (including your IP address) will be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States. In case of activation of the IP anonymization, Google will truncate/anonymize the last octet of the IP address for Member States of the European Union as well as for other parties to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases, the full IP address is sent to and shortened by Google servers in the USA.

COOKIES

This website uses cookies. These are small text files that are stored on your mobile device or computer. Your browser accesses these files. The use of cookies increases the user-friendliness and security of this website.

SOCIAL MEDIA PLUG-INS

We are currently using the following social media plug-ins: Facebook, Xing and LinkedIn. We use the so-called two-click-solution. This means, no personal data is initially transmitted to the providers of the plug-ins by visiting our website. You can see the provider of the plug-in by marking on the box above its Initial letters or logo. Only if you click on the social media plug-in and thereby activate it, the plug-in provider will receive the information that you have called up the corresponding website of our online service. The data named in the paragraph " COLLECTION AND PROCESSING OF PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE DATA " will be transmitted. In case of Facebook and Xing, according to the respective providers in Germany, the IP address is anonymized immediately after collecting it. By activating the plug-in, you will transmit personal data to the plug-in provider and they will store it (with US providers in the USA). Because the plug-in provider collects data especially by using cookies, we recommend deleting all cookies via your browser's security settings before clicking on the red box.

We neither have any influence on the collected data and data processing, nor are we aware of the full extent of the collected data, the purposes of processing and the storage periods. We do not have any information about the deletion of the collected data by the plug-in provider.

The plug-in provider stores the data collected about you as a user profile and uses them for advertising, market research and/or on-demand design of its website. They analyze your data to present demand-oriented advertising and to inform other users of the social network about your activities on our website. You have the right to object the creation of this user profile. To exercise it you must contact the respective plug-in provider. By using plug-ins, we offer you the opportunity to interact with the social media networks and other users, thereby we can improve our offer and make it more interesting for you as a user. The Legal basis for the use of plug-ins is article 6 (1) paragraph 1 letter f of General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

The data transfer takes place regardless of whether you have an account at the plug-in providers website and are logged in there or not. If you are logged in to the plug-in providers website, your data collected by us will be directly connected with your account at the plug-in providers website. If you press the plug-in button and, for example, link the page, the plug-in provider also stores this information in your user account and shares it with your social media contacts. We recommend you logging out regularly after using a social network, especially before activating the plug-in button to avoid connecting your social media profile with the plug-in provider.

For more information on the purpose and extent of the collected data and its processing by the plug-in provider, please refer to the data protection statements by the providers listed below. You can also find there more information about your rights and settings to protect your privacy.
