This information also includes your IP address, although Google shortens the last digits to prevent it from being directly linked to you as an individual.

The information is transferred to Google servers and processed there. Transmission to Google LLC, based in the USA, is also possible.

The IP address transmitted and shortened by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data. The data collected as part of the use of Google Analytics 4 will be stored for a period of two months and then deleted.

All processing described above, in particular the setting of cookies on the device used, will only take place if you have given us your express consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR.
Without your consent, Google Analytics 4 will not be used during your visit to the website. You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future. To exercise your right of revocation, please deactivate this service using the "Cookie Consent Tool" provided on the website.

demographic characteristics
Google Analytics 4 uses the special "demographic characteristics" function and can use it to create statistics that make statements about the age, gender and interests of site visitors. This is done by analyzing advertising and information from third parties. This allows target groups to be identified for marketing activities. However, the data collected cannot be assigned to a specific person and is deleted after being stored for a period of two months.

Google Signals
As an extension to Google Analytics 4, Google Signals can be used on this website to create cross-device reports. If you have activated personalized ads and have linked your devices to your Google account, Google can analyze your usage behavior across devices and create database models, including for cross-device conversions, subject to your consent to use Google Analytics in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR. We do not receive any personal data from Google, only statistics. If you want to stop cross-device analysis, you can deactivate the "Personalized Advertising" function in the settings of your Google account.

10. Retargeting/remarketing and conversion tracking

10.1 Meta Pixel with advanced data comparison

Within our online offering, we use the "Meta Pixel" service of the following provider in the extended data comparison mode: Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Quare, Dublin 2, Ireland ("Meta")

If a user clicks on an ad we have placed on Facebook or Instagram, the URL of our linked page is extended by a parameter using "Meta Pixel". This URL parameter is then entered into the user's browser after forwarding via a cookie that our linked page itself sets. In addition, this cookie records specific customer data such as the email address that we collect on our website linked to the Facebook or Instagram ad during processes such as purchases, account registrations or registrations (extended data comparison). The cookie is then read and enables the data, including the specific customer data, to be transmitted to Meta.

We use "Meta Pixel" with advanced data matching to make our advertisements (so-called "ads") on Facebook and/or Instagram more effective and to ensure that they correspond to the interests of users or have certain characteristics (e.g. interests in certain topics or products determined based on the websites visited) that we transmit to Meta (so-called "custom audiences").

In addition, we analyze the effectiveness of our advertisements by tracking whether users were redirected to our website after clicking on an advertisement (conversion). Compared to the standard variant of "Meta Pixel", the advanced data matching function helps us to better measure the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns by recording more attributed conversions.

All transmitted data is stored and processed by Meta so that it can be assigned to the respective user profile and Meta can use the data for its own advertising purposes in accordance with Meta's data usage guidelines ( https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/ ). The data can enable Meta and its partners to place ads on and outside of Facebook.

All processing described above, in particular the setting of cookies for reading information on the device used, will only be carried out if you have given us your express consent in accordance with Art. 6 Paragraph 1 Letter a of GDPR. You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future by deactivating this service in the "Cookie Consent Tool" provided on the website.

We have concluded a data processing agreement with the provider, which ensures the protection of the data of our website visitors and prohibits unauthorized disclosure to third parties.

The information generated by Meta is usually transferred to a Meta server and stored there; in this context, it may also be transferred to Meta Platforms Inc. servers in the USA.

For data transfers to the USA, the provider has joined the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, which ensures compliance with the European data protection level on the basis of an adequacy decision of the European Commission.

10.2 Google Ads Remarketing

Further data processing only takes place if you have agreed to Google linking your internet and app browsing history to your Google account and using information from your Google account to personalize ads that you view on the web. In this case, if you are logged into Google while visiting our website, Google will use your data together with Google Analytics data to create and define target group lists for cross-device remarketing. To do this, Google will temporarily link your personal data to Google Analytics data in order to create target groups. When using Google Ads Remarketing, personal data may also be transferred to Google LLC servers in the USA.

All processing described above, in particular the setting of cookies for reading information on the device used, will only be carried out if you have given us your express consent in accordance with Art. 6 Paragraph 1 Letter a of GDPR.

We can use the data from the advertising campaigns to determine how successful the individual advertising measures are. Our aim is to show you advertising that is of interest to you, to make our website more interesting for you and to achieve a fair calculation of the advertising costs incurred.

The cookie for conversion tracking is set when a user clicks on an Ads ad placed by Google. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device. These cookies usually expire after 30 days and are not used for personal identification. If the user visits certain pages of this website and the cookie has not yet expired, Google and we can recognize that the user clicked on the ad and was redirected to this page. Each Google Ads customer receives a different cookie. Cookies cannot therefore be tracked across the websites of Google Ads customers. The information obtained using the conversion cookie is used to create conversion statistics for Google Ads customers who have opted for conversion tracking. Customers learn the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a page with a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not receive any information that can be used to personally identify users.

When using Google Ads, personal data may also be transferred to Google LLC servers in the USA.

In order to target users whose data we have received as part of business or business-like relationships with advertising that is more tailored to their interests, we use a customer matching function as part of Google Ads. To do this, we send one or more files with aggregated customer data (primarily email addresses and telephone numbers) to Google electronically. Google does not receive access to clear data, but automatically encrypts the information in the customer files during the transmission process using a special algorithm. The encrypted information can then only be used by Google to assign it to existing Google accounts that the data subjects have set up. This enables personalized advertising to be displayed across all Google services linked to the respective Google account.

Customer data will only be transmitted to Google if you have given us your express consent in accordance with Art. 6 Paragraph 1 Letter a of GDPR. You can revoke this consent at any time with effect for the future. Further information on Google's data protection measures in relation to the customer matching function can be found here: https://support.google.com/google-ads/answer/6334160?hl=de&ref_topic=10550182

11. Page functionalities

11.1 Google reCAPTCHA

On this website we use the CAPTCHA service of the following provider: Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland

Data can also be transmitted to: Google LLC, USA. The provider uses "Google Fonts" - fonts downloaded from the Internet by Google - for the visual design of the Captcha window. No further information other than that mentioned above, which is already transmitted to Google via the ReCaptcha functionality, is processed in this case.

The service checks whether an input has been made by a natural person or has been abusively processed by machine and automated means, and blocks spam, DDoS attacks and similar automated malicious access. To ensure that an action is carried out by a human and not by an automated bot, the provider collects the IP address of the end device used, identification data of the browser and operating system type used, as well as the date and duration of the visit and transmits these to the provider's servers for evaluation. Cookies can be used for this purpose, i.e. small text files that are stored in the browser of the end device.

If the processing described above is based on cookies, these will only be set if you have given us your express consent in accordance with Art. 6 Paragraph 1 Letter a of GDPR. You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future by deactivating this service in the "Cookie Consent Tool" provided on the website.

If the processing described above is carried out without the use of cookies, the legal basis is our legitimate interest in establishing individual responsibility on the Internet and avoiding misuse and spam in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR.

We have concluded a data processing agreement with the provider, which ensures the protection of the data of our website visitors and prohibits unauthorized disclosure to third parties.

For data transfers to the USA, the provider has joined the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, which ensures compliance with the European data protection level on the basis of an adequacy decision of the European Commission.

11.2 Google Customer Reviews (formerly Google Certified Retailer Program)

We work with Google as part of the “Google Customer Reviews” program. The provider is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland (“Google”). This program gives us the opportunity to collect customer reviews from users of our website. After making a purchase on our website, you will be asked whether you would like to participate in an email survey from Google.

If you give your consent in accordance with Art. 6 Paragraph 1 Letter a of GDPR, we will transmit your email address to Google. You will receive an email from Google Customer Reviews asking you to rate the purchase experience on our website. The rating you submit will then be summarized with our other ratings and displayed in our Google Customer Reviews logo and in our Merchant Center dashboard. Your rating will also be used for Google Seller Ratings. When using Google Customer Reviews, personal data may also be transmitted to Google LLC's servers in the USA.

You can revoke your consent at any time by sending a message to the data controller or to Google.

12.1 - Lexware Office

To handle our accounting, we use the cloud-based accounting software service of the following provider: Haufe-Lexware GmbH & Co. KG, Munzinger Straße 9, 79111 Freiburg, Germany

12.2 Cookie Consent Tool

This website uses a so-called "cookie consent tool" to obtain effective user consent for cookies and cookie-based applications that require consent. The "cookie consent tool" is displayed to users when they access the page in the form of an interactive user interface on which consent for certain cookies and/or cookie-based applications can be given by ticking boxes. By using the tool, all cookies/services that require consent are only loaded if the respective user gives their consent by ticking the corresponding box. This ensures that such cookies are only placed on the user's respective device if consent has been given.

The tool uses technically necessary cookies to save your cookie preferences. Personal user data is generally not processed.

If, in individual cases, personal data (such as the IP address) is processed for the purpose of storing, assigning or logging cookie settings, this is done in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest in legally compliant, user-specific and user-friendly consent management for cookies and thus in a legally compliant design of our website.

A further legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 (1) (c) GDPR. As the responsible party, we are subject to the legal obligation to make the use of technically unnecessary cookies dependent on the respective user consent.

Where necessary, we have concluded a data processing agreement with the provider, which ensures the protection of the data of our website visitors and prohibits unauthorized disclosure to third parties.

Further information about the operator and the setting options of the cookie consent tool can be found directly in the corresponding user interface on our website.
