Privacy policy
General information
The operator of this website collects, processes and uses a user’s personal data without further consent only to the extent necessary to establish and perform the contractual relationship and for billing purposes.
Personal data means individual information about the personal or material circumstances of an identified or identifiable natural person (data subject).
In this context, collection means obtaining data from the data subject. Processing includes not only storage and deletion but also alteration, blocking and transmission of personal data. Use means any use of personal data that does not constitute processing. Where necessary, customer and traffic data may be disclosed to companies affiliated with the website operator. Under applicable law, the operator is entitled to provide information to law enforcement authorities and courts for criminal prosecution. The operator may analyze customer and traffic data, or have it analyzed by third parties, for market research. Customers may object by contacting the data protection officer.
Customer data
Customer data is personal data required to establish or amend the contractual relationship between the operator of this website and the user. This includes the user’s name, address, date of birth, telephone number, email address and payment details.
The operator of this website will only disclose customer data to third parties where this is necessary to provide the service.
The operator of this website will process and use customer data for advertising, customer advice or market research only where necessary and with the user’s consent. Users may withdraw their consent in writing at any time.
Section 29 of the German Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG) permits the commercial collection, storage or alteration of personal data for transmission, particularly in connection with credit reporting agencies. Such agencies combine personal data from different sources and transmit it to third parties. The operator of this website is required to provide these agencies with the necessary data.
Traffic data
Traffic data is data collected, processed or used in providing a telecommunications service. The website operator, or a third party engaged to provide these services, collects traffic data to enable use of the services and prepare the user’s bill. This generally includes the date, time and time zone at the start and end of use, the volume in bytes, the IP address and the type of service used. This data is stored for up to six months after the bill is sent, unless a longer period is provided for in statistics functions activated by the user. Where required for billing with other companies or service providers, or by law, the operator may use, store and transmit traffic data.
Right of access
Upon request, the website operator will inform the user in writing, in accordance with statutory requirements, whether personal data about them is stored and, if so, which data. The data protection officer is available for this purpose and for further questions about privacy.
Website tracking
This website uses cookies in some areas to make the service more user-friendly, effective and secure. Cookies are small text files stored on your computer by your browser that allow analysis of your use of the website. You can prevent storage of these and the cookies mentioned below by adjusting your browser settings. However, you may then be unable to use all website functions in full.
This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc. (“Google”). Google Analytics uses cookies. Information generated by a cookie about your use of this website is generally transmitted to and stored on a Google server in the USA. Google uses this information to evaluate your use of the website, compile reports on website activity and provide the website operator with other services relating to website and internet use. The IP address transmitted by your browser through Google Analytics is not combined with other Google data.
Cookies are also used for Google Inc.’s remarketing technology. This technology targets users who have previously visited this website and expressed interest in its offerings with advertising on Google partner websites. If users have agreed to link their web and app browsing history to their Google account and allow account information to personalize advertisements, remarketing works across devices. To support this, Google Analytics collects the Google-authenticated IDs of these users. This personal data is temporarily linked to Google Analytics data to create audiences. Google users can adjust their advertising settings under “My Account” or disable personalized advertising.
You can also prevent Google from collecting cookie-generated data about your use of this website, including your shortened IP address, and from processing it, by downloading and installing the browser add-on available at: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en
Google Analytics also compiles performance reports based on demographic characteristics and interests.
Social Plugins
This website uses various functions from Facebook, Twitter and Google+. By default, visiting our website does not transmit data to these services. On some pages, ticking the relevant plug-in checkbox or clicking a link to the platform may trigger data transmission under the conditions below, even without carrying out the function itself (“Recommend”, “Tweet” or “+1”).
YouTube
This website uses plug-ins from YouTube, operated by Google. The service provider is YouTube, LLC, 901 Cherry Ave., San Bruno, CA 94066, USA. Visiting a page with a YouTube plug-in establishes a connection to YouTube’s servers and tells YouTube which of our pages you have visited. If you are logged into your YouTube account, YouTube can link your browsing behavior directly to your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account.
Further information about the handling of user data is available in YouTube’s privacy policy: https://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy
SoundCloud
Our pages may include plug-ins from the SoundCloud social network (SoundCloud Limited, 33 St James Square, London SW1Y 4JS, UK). You can recognize SoundCloud plug-ins by the SoundCloud logo on the relevant pages.
When you visit our pages and activate the plug-in, a direct connection is established between your browser and SoundCloud’s server. SoundCloud is then informed that your IP address has visited our website. If you click “Like” or “Share” while logged into your SoundCloud account, you can link or share our content through your SoundCloud profile. SoundCloud can thereby associate your visit with your user account. As the website provider, we have no knowledge of the content of the transmitted data or its use by SoundCloud. Further information is available in SoundCloud’s privacy policy at https://soundcloud.com/pages/privacy
If you do not want SoundCloud to associate your visit with your SoundCloud account, please log out of your SoundCloud account before activating content from the SoundCloud plug-in.
