Our pages partially use so-called cookies. Cookies are small files that make it possible to store specific, device-related information on the user's access device (PC, smartphone, etc.). Cookies do not cause any damage to your computer and do not contain viruses. They serve, on the one hand, the user-friendliness of websites and thus the users (e.g., storage of login data). On the other hand, they serve to collect statistical data on website use and to be able to analyze it for the purpose of improving the offer. Users can influence the use of cookies.
Most of the cookies we use are so-called "session cookies." They are automatically deleted after your visit. Other cookies remain stored on your terminal device until you delete them. These cookies enable us to recognize your browser on your next visit. You can configure your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies and only allow cookies in individual cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general, and activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. If cookies are deactivated, the functionality of our pages may be limited.
If cookies are used by third-party companies or for analysis purposes, we will inform you about this in this privacy policy or separately and, if necessary, request your consent.

Social Media
Plugins for the social network Facebook are integrated into our pages. The provider is Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Dublin 2, Ireland. You can recognize the Facebook plugins, for example, by the Facebook logo or the "Like" button on our site. An overview of the Facebook plugins can be found here: http://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/.
When you visit our pages, a direct connection is established between your browser and the Facebook server via the plugin. Facebook thereby receives the information that you have visited our site with your IP address. If you click the Facebook "Like" button while you are logged into your Facebook account, you can link the content of our pages to your Facebook profile. This allows Facebook to associate the visit to our pages with your user account. We point out that, as the operator of the pages, we have no knowledge of the content of the transmitted data or its use by Facebook. Further information on this can be found in Facebook's privacy policy at http://de-de.facebook.com/policy.php.
The data collected by this service is transmitted to a third country (USA). Your express consent forms the legal basis for this data transfer in accordance with Art. 49 para. 1 lit. a in conjunction with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. Prior to your consent, we informed you that the USA currently does not have a level of data protection that meets EU standards. For this reason, the European Court of Justice has declared the "Privacy Shield" (adequacy decision according to Art. 45 GDPR) invalid.
You have the option to revoke your consent to data processing at any time. If you do not wish Facebook to be able to associate your visit to our pages with your Facebook user account, please log out of your Facebook user account beforehand.
At https://www.facebook.com/legal/controller_addendum, you will find the agreement we have concluded with Facebook, according to which we are responsible for providing data protection information when using the Facebook tool and for the legally secure implementation of the tool on our website.
Data transfer to the USA is based on the EU Standard Contractual Clauses.

E-Commerce & Payment Providers
Processing of Customer and Contractual Data
Within our company, only those employees who require your data to fulfill contractual, consented, and legal obligations or legitimate interests will receive it. Furthermore, processors, partner companies, and partners commissioned by us will receive your data if they require it to fulfill their respective contractual services. All processors and partners are contractually obligated to treat your data confidentially and to process it only within the agreed framework.
Some of the mentioned recipients (e.g., partners, processors) may be located outside your country or the EU or process your personal data there. The level of data protection in other countries may not correspond to that of your country. For example, companies in the USA are obliged to disclose personal data to security authorities without data subjects being able to take legal action against this. We only transmit your personal data to such recipients for the fulfillment of a contract. In the case of your express consent to data transfer to third countries, the data processing is also based on Art. 49 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. If the data transfer is necessary for the fulfillment of a contract, your data will be processed on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR.
If there is a legal or regulatory obligation, public bodies and institutions may be recipients of your personal data.
Data may be used to analyze or predict the behavior of users of our services. However, the data will not be used for any automated decision-making.
