Data protection provisions about the application and use of social networks

A social network may serve as a platform for the exchange of opinions and experiences, or enable the Internet community to provide personal or business-related information. Social network users to include the creation of private profiles, upload photos, and network through

With each call-up to one of the individual pages of this Internet website, which is operated by the controller and into which a social media component (i.e. Facebook, Pinterest, Instagram) was integrated, the web browser on the information technology system of the individual is automatically prompted to download display of the corresponding social media component.

If the individual is logged in at the same time on social media, and our website, that service provider will detect with every call-up based on your user account with that social media source and stores the personal data based on their stated policies.

Data protection provisions about the application and use of Analytics

On this website, the controller has integrated the component of Analytics (with the anonymizer function, using web-based analytics service). Web analytics is the collection, gathering, and analysis of data about the behavior of visitors to websites. A web analysis service collects, inter alia, data about the website from which a person has come (the so-called referrer), which sub-pages were visited, or how often and for what duration a sub-page was viewed. Web analytics are mainly used for the optimization of a website and in order to carry out analysis of use.

Analytics places a cookie on the information technology system of the individual. The definition of cookies is explained previously, analytics is enabled to analyze the use of our websites. The cookie is used to information, such as the access time, the location from which the access was made, and the frequency of visits of our website by the individual.

The individual may, as stated above, prevent the setting of cookies through our website at any time by means of a corresponding adjustment of the web browser used and thus permanently deny the setting of cookies.

Data protection provisions about the application and use of WordPress Plug-ins

On these websites, the controller has integrated WordPress plug-ins, which provides additional features to the operator of a website based on WordPress. Plug-ins allows the Internet site operator an overview of the visitors of the site. In addition, security features are integrated into plug-ins, so the site is better protected against brute-force attacks. Plug-ins also optimize and accelerate the loading of images on the website.

Plug-ins set a cookie on the information technology system used by the individual. The definition of cookies is explained above. With each call-up to one of the individual pages of this Internet site, which is operated by the controller and on which a plug-in component was integrated, the Internet browser on the information technology system of the individual is automatically prompted to submit data for statistical analysis on use of website.

The individual can, as stated above, prevent the setting of cookies through our website at any time by means of a corresponding adjustment of the web browser used and thus permanently deny the setting of cookies.

With the setting of the opt-out cookie, however, the possibility exists that the websites of the controller are not fully usable anymore by the individual.

Data protection provisions about the application and use of YouTube

On our websites, the controller has integrated components of YouTube. YouTube is an Internet video portal that enables video publishers to set video clips and other users free of charge, which also provides free viewing, review and commenting on them. YouTube allows you to publish all kinds of videos, so you can access both full movies and TV broadcasts, as well as music videos, trailers, and videos made by users via the Internet portal.

With each call-up to one of the individual pages of this Internet site, which is operated by the controller and on which a YouTube component (YouTube video) was integrated, the Internet browser on the information technology system of the individual is automatically prompted to download a display of the corresponding YouTube component.

Payment Method: Data protection provisions about the use of Stripe and PayPal as a payment processor

On this website, the controller has integrated components of Stripe and PayPal. Stripe and PayPal are online payment service providers. Payments are processed via third party credit card services with the top firewall provisions in place for safety using Stripe.

PayPal accounts, which represent virtual private or business accounts may be chosen as payment option by the individual. PayPal is also able to process virtual payments through credit cards when a user does not have a PayPal account. A PayPal account is managed via an e-mail address, which is why there are no classic account numbers. PayPal makes it possible to trigger online payments to third parties or to receive payments. PayPal also accepts trustee functions and offers buyer protection services.

The individual has the possibility to revoke consent for the handling of personal data at any time from PayPal. A revocation shall not have any effect on personal data which must be processed, used or transmitted in accordance with (contractual) payment processing.

Legal basis for the processing

Art. 6(1) lit. a GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing operations for which we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose. If the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the individual is party, as is the case, for example, when processing operations are necessary for the supply of goods or to provide any other service, the processing is based on Article 6(1) lit. b GDPR. The same applies to such processing operations which are necessary for carrying out pre-contractual measures, for example in the case of inquiries concerning our products or services. Is our company subject to a legal obligation by which processing of personal data is required, such as for the fulfillment of tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6(1) lit. c GDPR. In rare cases, the processing of personal data may be necessary to protect the vital interests of the individual or of another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor were injured in our company and his name, age, health insurance data or other vital information would have to be passed on to a doctor, hospital or other third party. Then the processing would be based on Art. 6(1) lit. d GDPR. Finally, processing operations could be based on Article 6(1) lit. f GDPR. This legal basis is used for processing operations which are not covered by any of the abovementioned legal grounds, if processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by our company or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the individual which require protection of personal data. Such processing operations are particularly permissible because they have been specifically mentioned by the European legislator. He considered that a legitimate interest could be assumed if the individual is a client of the controller (Recital 47 Sentence 2 GDPR).

The legitimate interests pursued by the controller or by a third party

Where the processing of personal data is based on Article 6(1) lit. f GDPR our legitimate interest is to carry out our business in favor of the well-being of all our employees and the shareholders.

Period for which the personal data will be stored

The criteria used to determine the period of storage of personal data is the respective statutory retention period. After expiration of that period, the corresponding data is routinely deleted, as long as it is no longer necessary for the fulfillment of the contract or the initiation of a contract.

Provision of personal data as statutory or contractual requirement; Requirement necessary to enter into a contract; Obligation of the individual to provide the personal data; possible consequences of failure to provide such data

We clarify that the provision of personal data is partly required by law (e.g. tax regulations) or can also result from contractual provisions (e.g. information on the contractual partner). Sometimes it may be necessary to conclude a contract that the individual provides us with personal data, which must subsequently be processed by us. The individual is, for example, obliged to provide us with personal data when our company signs a contract with him or her. The non-provision of the personal data would have the consequence that the contract with the individual could not be concluded.

Existence of automated decision-making

As a responsible company, we do not use automatic decision-making or profiling.

CalOPPA Compliance

CalOPPA is the first state law in the USA to require commercial websites and online services to post a Privacy Policy. The law’s reach stretches well beyond California to require any person or company in the United States (and conceivably the world) that operates websites collecting Personally Identifiable Information from California consumers to post a conspicuous Privacy Policy on its website stating exactly the information being collected and those individuals or companies with whom it is being shared. – See more at: http://consumercal.org/california-online-privacy-protection-act-caloppa

CAN-SPAM Compliance

The CAN-SPAM Act is a USA law that sets the rules for commercial email, establishes requirements for commercial messages, gives recipients the right to have emails stopped from being sent to them, and spells out tough penalties for violations.
