Use of HeatMap

We use the analytics tool from HeatMap Inc. (6724 Monroe Ave, Eldersburg, Maryland 21784, USA, “HeatMap”) on our website as part of commissioned data processing. The data processing serves the purpose of designing, optimizing, and analyzing our website to meet user needs.

The tool records the movements of website visitors on the website. This creates a log of mouse movements, scrolling behavior, time spent on the website, and clicks on the website (so-called heatmap). For this purpose, HeatMap uses cookies, among other things. The following information may be collected: information about the device you are using (screen size, device type, unique device identifier), information about the browser you are using, and location data (country only). User profiles can be created from this data under a pseudonym. The data will not be used to personally identify website visitors and will not be combined with the personal data of the pseudonym holder.

Your data may be transferred to third countries, such as the USA. The EU Commission has issued an adequacy decision for the USA, the Trans-Atlantic Data Privacy Framework (TADPF). Heatmap is not TADPF certified.

The use of cookies or similar technologies is based on your consent pursuant to Section 25 Paragraph 1 Sentence 1 of the UK Telemedia Act (TMG) in conjunction with Article 6 Paragraph 1 Letter a of the GDPR. The processing of your personal data is based on your consent pursuant to Article 6 Paragraph 1 Letter a of the GDPR. You can withdraw your consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.

Further information on the collection and use of your data by HeatMap can be found at: https://heatmap.com/privacy.


Use of the Meta Pixel

We use the Meta Pixel from Meta Platforms Ireland Limited (4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland; "Meta") on our website.

Meta and we are jointly responsible for the collection of your data and its transfer to Meta when the service is integrated. This is based on an agreement between us and Meta regarding the joint processing of personal data, which defines the respective responsibilities. The agreement can be accessed at https://de-de.facebook.com/legal/terms/businesstools. We are specifically responsible for fulfilling the information obligations pursuant to Articles 13 and 14 of the GDPR, for complying with the security requirements of Article 32 of the GDPR with regard to the correct technical implementation and configuration of the service, and for complying with the obligations under Articles 33 and 34 of the GDPR, insofar as a personal data breach affects our obligations under the joint controllership agreement. Meta is responsible for enabling the data subject rights pursuant to Articles 15–20 of the GDPR, complying with the security requirements of Article 32 of the GDPR with regard to the security of the service, and fulfilling the obligations under Articles 33 and 34 of the GDPR, insofar as a personal data breach affects Meta's obligations under the joint controllership agreement.

The application serves the purpose of targeting website visitors with interest-based advertising on the social networks Facebook and Instagram. For this purpose, Meta's remarketing tag has been implemented on the website. This tag establishes a direct connection to Meta's servers when the website is visited. This transmits information to the Meta server about which of our pages you have visited. Meta associates this information with your personal Facebook and/or Instagram user account. When you visit the social networks Facebook or Instagram, you will then be shown personalized, interest-based ads.

The application also serves the purpose of generating conversion statistics. This tells us the total number of users who clicked on one of our ads and were redirected to a page with a conversion tracking tag, as well as what actions were taken after being redirected to this website. However, we do not receive any information that can personally identify users.

Your data may be transferred to the USA.

The EU Commission has issued an adequacy decision for the USA, the Trans-Atlantic Data Privacy Framework (TADPF). Meta has certified itself under the TADPF and is therefore committed to complying with European data protection principles.

Your personal data is processed with your consent on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. You can withdraw your consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent until its withdrawal.

You can deactivate the "Custom Audiences" remarketing function here. Further information on the collection and use of data by Meta, your related rights, and options for protecting your privacy can be found in Meta's privacy policy at https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/.

Use of Google Ads Conversion Tracking

We use the online advertising program "Google Ads" on our website and, within this framework, conversion tracking (visit action evaluation). Google Conversion Tracking is an analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland; Google).

When you click on an ad served by Google, a conversion tracking cookie is placed on your computer. These cookies have a limited lifespan, do not contain any personally identifiable information, and are therefore not used for personal identification. If you visit certain pages of our website and the cookie has not yet expired, Google and we can recognize that you clicked on the ad and were redirected to this page. Each Google Ads customer receives a different cookie. This means that cookies cannot be tracked across the websites of different Ads customers.

The information collected using the conversion cookie is used to generate conversion statistics. This tells us the total number of users who clicked on one of our ads and were redirected to a page with a conversion tracking tag. However, we do not receive any personally identifiable information. We use the Advanced Consent Mode. In this mode, even if consent is not given, user data is transmitted to Google in the form of "pings." These pings may contain, among other things, the following information: IP address to deduce the IP country (the IP address itself is not logged), date and time of the page request, URL of the visited pages, user agent, referrer URL (the website from which our website was accessed), or information about triggering website events such as a conversion. Based on this information, Google models user data to enable comprehensive usage analysis despite the refusal of consent.

Your data may be transferred to the servers of Google LLC in the USA. The EU Commission has issued an adequacy decision for the USA, the Trans-Atlantic Data Privacy Framework (TADPF). Google has certified itself under the TADPF and is therefore committed to complying with European data protection principles.

The use of cookies or similar technologies is based on your consent pursuant to Section 25 Paragraph 1 Sentence 1 of the UK Telemedia Act (TMG) in conjunction with Article 6 Paragraph 1 Letter a of the GDPR. The processing of your personal data is based on your consent pursuant to Article 6 Paragraph 1 Letter a of the GDPR. You can withdraw your consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.

The EU Commission has issued an adequacy decision for the USA, the Trans-Atlantic Data Privacy Framework (TADPF). Google has certified itself under the TADPF and has thus committed to complying with European data protection principles. 

Your IP address will be transferred to third parties if required by law or if third parties process this data on Google's behalf. Google will under no circumstances associate your IP address with other Google data.

The use of cookies or similar technologies is based on your consent pursuant to Section 25 Paragraph 1 Sentence 1 of the UK Telemedia Act (TMG) in conjunction with Article 6 Paragraph 1 Letter a of the GDPR. The processing of your personal data is based on your consent pursuant to Article 6 Paragraph 1 Letter a of the GDPR.

Use of the remarketing or "similar audiences" function of Google Inc.

We use the remarketing or "similar audiences" function of Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland; "Google") on our website.

This function is used to analyze visitor behavior and interests. Google uses cookies to analyze website usage, which forms the basis for creating interest-based advertising. These cookies record website visits and anonymized data about website usage. No personal data of website visitors is stored. If you subsequently visit another website in the Google Display Network, you will be shown advertisements that are highly likely to reflect product and information areas you have previously viewed.

Your data may be transferred to servers of Google LLC in the USA. The EU Commission has issued an adequacy decision for the USA, the Trans-Atlantic Data Privacy Framework (TADPF). Google has certified itself under the TADPF and is therefore committed to complying with European data protection principles.

Use of Social Plugins

We use social network plugins on our website. The integration of social plugins and the associated data processing serve the purpose of optimizing advertising for our products.

When social plugins are integrated, a connection is established between your computer and the servers of the social network provider, and the plugin is displayed on the page by sending a message to your browser, provided you have expressly consented to this. In this process, both your IP address and information about which of our pages you have visited are transmitted to the provider's servers. This applies regardless of whether you are registered with or logged into the social network. Data is also transmitted for users who are not registered or logged in. If you are simultaneously connected to one or more of your social network accounts, the collected information can also be associated with your corresponding profiles. When using the plug-in functions (e.g., by clicking the button), this information is also associated with your user account. You can prevent this association by logging out of your social media accounts before visiting our website and before activating the buttons.

The use of cookies or similar technologies is based on your consent pursuant to Section 25 Paragraph 1 Sentence 1 of the UK Telemedia Act (TMG) in conjunction with Article 6 Paragraph 1 Letter a of the GDPR.

Use of Social Plugins via the "2-Click Solution"

We use social network plugins on our website via the "2-click solution." This means that no connection to the social network servers is established and consequently no data is transmitted without your explicit consent.

With the standard integration of plugins, when you access pages on our website that contain such a plugin, a connection is established between your computer and the servers of the social network provider, and the plugin is displayed on the page by sending a message to your browser. In this process, both your IP address and information about which of our pages you have visited are transmitted to the provider's servers. This applies regardless of whether you are registered with or logged into the social network. Even for users who are not registered or logged in, data is transmitted. If you are also logged into the social network Facebook, this information will be associated with your personal user account. When using the plug-in functions (e.g., by clicking the button), this information will also be associated with your user account, which you can only prevent by logging out before using the plug-in. To ensure you retain control over your data, we have decided to initially deactivate the corresponding button. You can recognize this by the grayed-out button. Without your explicit consent—in the form of activating the button—no connection to the social network's server will be established, and consequently, no data will be transmitted.

Only when you activate the button will it become active (highlighted in color), and a direct connection to the social network's servers will be established.

By activating the button, you consent to the transfer of your data to the respective social network provider. This includes, among other things, the transmission of your IP address and information about which of our pages you have visited. If you are simultaneously logged into one or more of your social network accounts, the information collected will also be associated with your corresponding profiles. You can only prevent this association by logging out of your social network accounts before visiting our website and before activating the buttons.

The social networks listed below are integrated using the "2-click function." Further information on the scope and purpose of data collection and use, as well as your related rights and options for protecting your privacy, can be found in the linked privacy policies of the providers.
