possibly your username from a registration / authentication.

This data is collected and processed for the purpose of enabling the use of our website (establishing a connection), ensuring system security and stability on a permanent basis and enabling the optimization of our website as well as for internal statistical purposes. This is our legitimate interest in data processing within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.

The IP address is also evaluated together with the other data in the event of attacks on the network infrastructure or other unauthorized or improper use of the website for information and defense purposes and, if necessary, used in the course of criminal proceedings for identification and for civil and criminal action against the users concerned. This is our legitimate interest in data processing within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.

We process the email address exclusively in order to personalize the information and offers sent to you and to better align them with your interests.

However, MailChimp does not use the data of our newsletter recipients to write to them themselves or to pass them on to third parties.

MailChimp is certified as a "Privacy Shield" under the US-EU data protection agreement and is therefore committed to complying with EU data protection regulations. Furthermore, we have concluded a "data processing agreement" with MailChimp. This is a contract in which MailChimp undertakes to protect the data of our users, to process it in accordance with its data protection regulations on our behalf and, in particular, not to pass it on to third parties. You can view MailChimp's data protection regulations here.
At the end of each newsletter there is a link that you can use to unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time. After unsubscribing, your personal data will be deleted.

returning or new visitors
the type and version of the internet browser used
the operating system used
the website from which access is made (so-called referrer URL)
the IP address of the accessing computer (anonymized)
the time of the server request

Google will use this information to evaluate the use of the website, to compile reports on website activity for us and to provide other services related to website activity and internet usage. Google may also transfer this information to third parties if this is required by law or if third parties process this data on behalf of Google. Under no circumstances will Google link your IP address with other Google data. The IP addresses are anonymized so that an assignment to you as a person is not possible. Google is listed as a Privacy Shield participant. The Privacy Shield Agreement between the EU and the USA guarantees minimum standards in data protection.

We also use Google Remarketing (so-called DoubleClick by Google) for online advertising and to evaluate the use of our website. The combined use of first-party cookies and third-party cookies can be used in reports to evaluate how display impressions are related to website visits. Third-party providers, including Google, have the opportunity to place advertisements on websites and to align and optimize them based on previous visits to the website according to demographic characteristics and interests (e.g. age, gender or interests). The data can be obtained from Google or from visitor data from third parties.

We also use Google Tag Manager to manage the services related to usage-based advertising. The tool itself is a cookie-free domain and does not collect personal data. Rather, the tool triggers other tags, which in turn may collect data. If you have deactivated at the domain or cookie level, this remains for all tracking tags that are implemented with the Google Tag Manager.

By using our website, you consent to the processing of your data in the manner and for the purposes set out above.
You have the option of preventing your data from being evaluated by Google Analytics. If you wish to do so, please follow this link, which you can use to download and install a browser plug-in. Further information on data protection at Google can be found here.

If you interact with the plugins, the corresponding information is also transmitted directly to a server of the provider and stored there. The information may also be published on the social network and may be displayed to other users of the social network (e.g. when the Like button is pressed).

The provider of the social network may use this information for the purpose of advertising, market research and the needs-based design of the respective offer. For this purpose, usage, interest and relationship profiles could be created, e.g. For example, to evaluate the use of our website with regard to advertisements, to inform other users about your activities on our website and to provide other services related to the use of the social network.

The purpose and scope of the data collection and the further processing and use of the data by the providers of the social networks as well as the related rights and setting options of the user to protect his privacy can be found in the data protection information of the respective provider.
