Google Double Click
Nature and scope of the processing
We have integrated components of DoubleClick by Google on our website. DoubleClick is a brand of Google, under which mainly special online marketing solutions are marketed to advertising agencies and publishers. DoubleClick by Google transmits data to the DoubleClick server with every impression as well as with clicks or other activities.
Each of these data transmissions triggers a cookie request to the data subject’s browser. If the browser accepts this request, DoubleClick sets a cookie in your browser.
DoubleClick uses a cookie ID, which is required for the technical process. The cookie ID is needed, for example, to display an advertisement in a browser. DoubleClick can also use the cookie ID to record which advertisements have already been displayed in a browser in order to avoid duplicate placements. Furthermore, the cookie ID enables DoubleClick to record conversions. Conversions are recorded, for example, if a DoubleClick ad was previously displayed to a user and the user subsequently makes a purchase on the advertiser's website using the same internet browser.
A DoubleClick cookie does not contain any personal data, but may contain additional campaign identifiers. A campaign identifier is used to identify the campaigns you have already been in contact with on other websites. As part of this service, Google also collects data that it uses for billing purposes. Among other things, Google can see that you have clicked on certain links on our website. In this case, your data will be passed on to the operator of DoubleClick, Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. Further information and the applicable privacy policy for DoubleClick by Google can be found at https://policies.google.com/privacy.
Purpose and legal basis
We process your data with the help of the Double-Click cookie for the purpose of optimising and displaying advertising on the basis of your consent in accordance with Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR. You give your consent by agreeing to the use of cookies (cookie banner / consent manager), and you can revoke your consent at any time with future effect in accordance with Article 7(3) of the GDPR. The cookie is used, among other things, to serve and display user-relevant advertising and to create reports on advertising campaigns or to improve them. The cookie also serves to avoid multiple displays of the same advertisement.
Each time you visit one of the individual pages of our website with which a DoubleClick component has been integrated, your browser is automatically prompted by the respective DoubleClick component to transmit data to Google for the purpose of online advertising and billing. There is no legal or contractual obligation to provide your data. If you do not give us your consent, you can visit our website without restriction, but not all functions may be fully available.
Storage period
We have no control over the precise length of time the processed data is stored as this is determined by Google Ireland Limited. For further information, please see the privacy policy for Google DoubleClick: https://policies.google.com/privacy.

Privacy policy for the presence on social media and the Facebook fan page
We use our social media presence to allow us to present our company in the best possible way and to communicate with you as a user, customer or other stakeholder and to inform you about the services we offer.
You can find us on the following platforms or social networks
• Facebook
• Instagram
• Xing
• LinkedIn
• YouTube
The use of social networks involves the processing of data outside the European Union (EU) and the European Economic Area (EEA). An equivalent level of data protection to that which exists in the EU cannot be guaranteed in all countries outside the EU. In this context, it may lead to risks for you as a user if the transmitted data is processed in so-called third countries with an inadequate level of data protection.
This makes it more difficult to enforce known user rights. In addition, your data may not be processed in your interest by the provider in the third country.
Facebook Inc. based in the USA, as well as its associated services (Instagram etc.) had the "Privacy Shield" certification under the US-European Data Protection Convention. Due to the recent decision of the ECJ, the Convention no longer provides sufficient proof of compliance with the level of protection required by the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
Due to the current legal uncertainty, we would like to point out that we provide the use of Facebook services and the provision of content on social media platforms on the basis of your "implied" consent given to us (Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR). By visiting the pages and accepting the cookies set, you consent to the processing and transfer of your personal data.
The processing purposes pursued by the social networks usually differ from ours. For example, the data collected from you on social networks is usually processed for the purposes of market research, advertising and the creation of user profiles for personalised advertising (e.g. Facebook, Instagram).
To do this, cookies are used which record user behaviour and enable user profiling. A specific list of the purposes for which user data is processed can be found in the data protection notices of the respective providers. By making the appropriate settings in your user account, it is possible to limit your profiling, at least to a certain extent. For the exact procedure, please read the corresponding data protection information of the respective provider.
Data subjects' rights
Below you will find a detailed description of the respective data processing by the providers and their objection options (so-called opt-out) via the corresponding links to the providers' websites:

Facebook fan page
When you visit our Facebook page, Facebook collects, among other things, your IP address and other information that is present on your PC in the form of cookies. This information is used to provide us, as Facebook page operators, with statistical information about the use of the Facebook page. More information is available on Facebook at the following link: https://www.facebook.com/help/pages/insights.
It is not possible for us to draw conclusions about individual users based on the statistical information transmitted. We only use this information to respond to the interests of our users and to continuously improve and ensure the quality of our online presence.
We collect your data via our fan page only to provide a possible means of communication and interaction with us. The data collected usually includes your name, message content, comment content and the profile information you provide "publicly".
The processing of your personal data for our above-mentioned purposes is based on our legitimate business and communicative interest in offering an information and communication channel in accordance with Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. If you, as a user, have given your consent to the data processing vis-à-vis the respective provider of the social network, the legal basis of the processing extends to Article 6(1)(a) and Article 7 of the GDPR.
Due to the fact that the actual data processing is carried out by the provider of the social network, our access to your data is limited. Only the provider of the social network is authorised to have full access to your data. This means that only the provider can directly take and implement appropriate measures to fulfil your user rights (information request, deletion request, objection, etc.). The most effective way of asserting such rights is therefore directly with the respective provider. Please feel free to contact us if you require further assistance.
