So-called cookies are used on the website. These are data packages that are exchanged between the website server and the visitor’s browser. They are stored by the devices used to visit the website (PC, notebook, tablet, smartphone, etc.). Cookies cannot damage the devices used. In particular, they do not contain any viruses or other malware. The cookies store information associated with the specific end device used. This information does not allow us under any circumstances to determine the identity of the website visitor.

Under the default browser settings, cookies are usually accepted. The browser settings can be adjusted either to reject cookies on the devices used or to provide specific information before a new cookie is stored. We wish to point out, however, that deactivating cookies may mean that some of the functions of the website cannot be used at their best.

Cookies serve to make use of our website more convenient. For example, session cookies can be used to determine whether the visitor has previously visited individual pages of the website. These session cookies are erased automatically when you leave the website.

Temporary cookies are used to improve user-friendliness. They are stored for a temporary period on the visitor’s device. If the visitor returns to the website, it is possible to recognise that he or she has accessed the page previously and to apply the inputs and settings that were used on that occasion so that they do not have to be repeated. No personal data is processed in this connection.

Cookies are also used to analyse access to the website for statistical purposes and for the purpose of improving what we offer. These cookies make it possible to recognise automatically that the website has previously been accessed by the visitor. The cookies are erased after a fixed period.

The data processed by means of cookies is justified for the above purposes in order to pursue the legitimate interests of the legal practice pursuant to Art. 6 (1) subparagraph 1 (f) GDPR.

Google Analytics

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service of Google Inc. (“Google”). Google Analytics uses so-called “cookies”, text files that are stored on your computer and that facilitate analysis of your use of the website. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. If IP anonymisation is activated on this website, your IP address will first be truncated by Google within Member States of the European Union or in other countries that are signatories to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Please note that Google Analytics on this website has been extended to include the code “gat._anonymizeIp();” to ensure anonymised collection of IP addresses (so-called IP masking).
Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transferred to a Google server in the USA and truncated there. Google uses this information on behalf of the operator of this website to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports about website activities, and to provide other services associated with use of the website and the internet for the website operator. The IP address transferred by your browser in the context of Google Analytics is not associated with any other Google data. You can prevent storage of the cookies by means of a corresponding setting in your browser software; we wish to point out, however, that in this case you may not be able to use all of the functions of this website to their full extent. In addition, you can prevent collection of the data generated by the cookie relating to your use of the website (including your IP address) by Google and the processing of that data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available from the following link: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en
Further information about the terms of use and data protection can be found at http://www.google.com/analytics/terms/de.html

The legal basis for use of the analytical tool is Art. 6 (1) subparagraph 1 (f) GDPR. Website analysis is in the legitimate interests of our company and is used for statistical recording of the use of the site for ongoing improvement of our website and the services we offer.

Google Remarketing
We use the Remarketing or "Similar Target Groups" feature of Google Inc. on our website (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; "Google"). This feature is designed to help analyze visitor behavior and interests.
Google uses cookies to analyze website usage, which forms the basis for creating interest-related advertisements. The cookies are used to record visits to the website and anonymous data on the use of the website. There is no storage of personal data of visitors to the website. If you subsequently visit another website in the Google Display Network, you will see advertisements that are highly likely to include previously accessed product and information areas.
Your data may also be transferred to the USA. The European Commission has issued an adequacy decision for data transfers to the USA.
Processing is based on Art. 6 (1) lit. f DSGVO in the legitimate interest of targeting website visitors with targeted advertising by placing personalised, interest-related advertisements for visitors to the provider's website when they visit other websites in the Google Display Network.
For reasons arising from your particular situation, you have the right at any time to object to this processing of your personal data based on Art. 6 (1) f DSGVO. To do this, you can permanently deactivate the use of cookies by Google by following the following link and downloading and installing the plug-in provided there: https://support.google.com/ads/answer/7395996?hl=en Alternatively, you can disable the use of cookies by third parties by visiting the Network Advertising Initiative's opt-out page at https://www.networkadvertising.org/choices/ and implementing the opt-out information provided there.

Google Ads
On our website we use the online advertising program "Google Ads" and in this context conversion tracking. Google Conversion Tracking is an analysis service provided by Google Inc. (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; "Google"). When you click on an ad placed by Google, a conversion tracking cookie is placed on your computer. These cookies have a limited validity, do not contain any personal data and are therefore not used for personal identification. If you visit certain pages of our website and the cookie has not expired, Google and we may recognize that you clicked on the ad and were directed to that page. Each Google Ads customer receives a different cookie. As a result, there is no way that cookies can be tracked through AdWords customer websites.
The information collected through the Conversion cookie is used to compile conversion statistics. We learn the total number of users who clicked on one of our ads and were directed to a page tagged with a conversion tracking tag. However, we do not receive information that personally identifies users. The processing is based on Art. 6 (1) lit. f DSGVO for the legitimate interest in targeted advertising and the analysis of the effect and efficiency of this advertising.
For reasons arising from your particular situation, you have the right at any time to object to this processing of your personal data based on Art. 6 (1) f DSGVO. For this purpose, you can prevent the storage of cookies by selecting the appropriate technical settings in your browser software. However, we would like to point out that in this case you may not be able to use all functions of this website to their full extent. You will then not be included in the conversion tracking statistics.
You can also deactivate personalised advertising for you in the Google advertising settings. In addition, you can deactivate the use of cookies by third parties by calling up the deactivation page of the Network Advertising Initiative at https://www.networkadvertising.org/choices/ and implementing the further information on opt-out mentioned there.

Facebook remarketing / retargeting

Remarketing tags of the social network Facebook, 1601 South California Avenue, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA are integrated into our pages. When you visit our site, the remarketing tags establish a direct connection between your browser and the Facebook server. Facebook is thereby notified that you have visited our site with your IP address. As a result, Facebook can associate the visit to our site with your user account. We can use the information obtained in this way to display Facebook ads. Please note that, as the provider of the web pages, we have no knowledge of the content of the data transferred and how it is used by Facebook. You can find further information about this in the data protection policy of Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/. If you do not want Custom Audience to collect your data, you can deactivate Custom Audience here.

Conversion measurement with the Facebook visitor action pixel

With your consent, we use the “visitor action pixel” of Facebook Inc., 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA (“Facebook”) on our website. We can use it to track users’ actions after they have seen or clicked on a Facebook advertisement. In this way, we are able to record the effectiveness of Facebook advertisements for statistical and market research purposes. The data collected in this way is anonymous; in other words, we do not see the personal data of individual users. This data is stored and processed by Facebook, however, and we provide you with information about this to the best of our knowledge. Facebook can associate this data with your Facebook account and also use it for its own marketing purposes, in accordance with Facebook’s data usage policy https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy. You can enable Facebook and its partners to display advertising on and outside Facebook. A cookie may also be stored on your computer for this purpose.

Consent may be given only by users aged 13 and older. If you are younger, please ask your parent or guardian for advice.

Insofar as your personal data is processed when you visit our website, you have the following rights as the “data subject” within the meaning of the GDPR:

You have the right to demand from us confirmation as to whether or not personal data concerning you is being processed by us. There is no right to information if disclosure of the information requested would breach a confidentiality obligation or if the information must be kept secret on other grounds, in particular because of an overriding legitimate interest of a third party. Notwithstanding the above, there may be an obligation to disclose the information if your interests override the confidentiality interest, in particular in view of imminent damages. The right to information is also excluded if the data is stored only because it cannot be erased on the basis of legal or statutory retention periods, is used exclusively for purposes of backing up data or data protection monitoring, if disclosure of the information is associated with a disproportionately large amount of work, and if processing for other purposes is prevented by appropriate technical and organisational measures. If the right to information is not excluded in your case and your personal information is processed by us, you may demand information from us about the following:

• Purpose of processing
• Categories of your personal data processed
• Recipients or categories of recipients to whom your personal data is disclosed, in particular if those recipients are in third countries
• If possible, the planned period during which your personal data will be stored or, if this is not possible, the criteria for determining the storage period
• The existence of a right to rectification or erasure or restriction of processing of the personal data concerning you, or a right to object to that processing
• The existence of a right to complain to a supervisory authority for data protection
• Where the personal data was not collected from you as the data subject, the information available about the origins of the data
• The existence of automated decision-making, including profiling, and meaningful information about the logic involved, as well as the significance and the envisaged consequences of such processing
• Where personal data is transferred to a third country, if there is no decision of the EU Commission about the appropriateness of the level of protection pursuant to Art. 45 (3) GDPR, information about the appropriate safeguards provided for protection of personal data pursuant to Article 46 (2) GDPR.

If you establish that we have incorrect personal data about you, you may demand rectification of this incorrect data by us without undue delay. If the personal data concerning you is incomplete, you may demand that it be completed.

Sie haben ein Recht auf Löschung („Recht auf Vergessenwerden“), sofern die Verarbeitung nicht zur Ausübung des Rechts auf freie Meinungsäußerung, des Rechts auf Information oder zur Erfüllung einer rechtlichen Verpflichtung oder zur Wahrnehmung einer Aufgabe, die im öffentlichen Interesse liegt, erforderlich ist und einer der nachstehenden Gründe zutrifft:

• Die personenbezogenen Daten sind für die Zwecke, für die sie verarbeitet wurden, nicht mehr notwendig.
• Die Rechtfertigungsgrundlage für die Verarbeitung war ausschließlich Ihre Einwilligung,   welche Sie widerrufen haben.
• Sie haben Widerspruch gegen die Verarbeitung Ihrer personenbezogenen Daten eingelegt, die wir öffentlich gemacht haben.
• Sie haben Widerspruch gegen die Verarbeitung von uns nicht öffentlich gemachter personenbezogener Daten eingelegt und es liegen keine vorrangigen berechtigten Gründe für die
• Verarbeitung vor.
• Ihre personenbezogenen Daten wurden unrechtmäßig verarbeitet.
• Die Löschung der personenbezogenen Daten ist zur Erfüllung einer gesetzlichen Verpflichtung, der wir unterliegen, erforderlich.

Kein Anspruch auf Löschung besteht, wenn die Löschung im Falle rechtmäßiger nicht automatisierter Datenverarbeitung wegen der besonderen Art der Speicherung nicht oder nur mit unverhältnismäßig hohem Aufwand möglich und Ihr Interesse an der Löschung gering ist. In diesem Fall tritt an die Stelle einer Löschung die Einschränkung der Verarbeitung.

You may demand that we restrict processing if one of the following grounds applies:

• You contest the accuracy of the personal data. Restriction may be demanded in this case for a period that allows us to check the accuracy of the data.
• Processing is unlawful and you demand restriction of processing instead of erasure of your personal data.
• Your personal data is no longer required by us for the purposes of processing, but you require it to establish, exercise or defend against legal claims.
• You have lodged an objection pursuant to Art. 21 (1) GDPR. Restriction of processing may be demanded as long as it has not been established whether our legitimate grounds override your grounds.

Restriction of processing means that the personal data may be processed only with your consent, or to establish, exercise or defend against legal claims, or to protect the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interest. Before we lift the restriction, we have the obligation to inform you of this.

Sie haben ein Recht auf Datenübertragbarkeit, sofern die Verarbeitung auf Ihrer Einwilligung (Art. 6 Abs. 1 Satz 1 Buchst. a) oder Art. 9 Abs. 2 Buchst. a) DSGVO) oder auf einem Vertrag beruht, dessen Vertragspartei Sie sind und die Verarbeitung mithilfe automatisierter Verfahren erfolgt. Das Recht auf Datenübertragbarkeit beinhaltet in diesem Fall folgende Rechte, sofern hierdurch nicht die Rechte und Freiheiten anderer Personen beeinträchtigt werden: Sie können von uns verlangen, die personenbezogenen Daten, die Sie uns bereit gestellt haben, in einem strukturierten, gängigen und maschinenlesbaren Format zu erhalten. Sie haben das Recht, diese Daten einem anderen Verantwortlichen ohne Behinderung unserseits zu übermitteln. Soweit technisch machbar, können Sie von uns verlangen, dass wir Ihre personenbezogenen Daten direkt an einen anderen Verantwortlichen übermitteln.

Where processing is based on Art. 6 (1) subparagraph 1 (e) GDPR (performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller) or on Art. 6 (1) subparagraph 1 (f) GDPR (legitimate interest of the data controller or a third party), you have the right to object at any time, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to processing of personal data concerning you. This also applies to profiling based on Art. 6 (1) subparagraph 1 (e) or (f) GDPR. Once you have exercised your right to object, we shall no longer process your personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for processing that override your interests, rights and freedoms, or if processing serves to establish, exercise or defend against legal claims.

You may lodge at any time an objection to processing of the personal data concerning you for the purposes of direct marketing. This also applies to profiling associated with such direct marketing. Once you have exercised this right to object, we shall no longer use the personal data concerning you for purposes of direct marketing.

You have the option to notify us informally of your objection by telephone, email, fax or by writing to the postal address of our legal practice provided at the beginning of this data protection policy.

You have the right to withdraw consent that you have given at any time, with effect from that point forward. Withdrawal of consent may be communicated informally by phone, email, fax or to our postal address. The withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of the data processing that has been carried out based on your consent up to the point of receipt of its withdrawal. On receipt of the withdrawal, the data processing based exclusively on your consent shall stop.

Wenn Sie der Ansicht sind, dass die Verarbeitung der Sie betreffenden personenbezogenen Daten rechtswidrig ist, können Sie Beschwerde bei einer Aufsichtsbehörde für den Datenschutz einlegen, die für den Ort Ihres Aufenthaltes oder Arbeitsplatzes oder für den Ort des mutmaßlichen Verstoßes zuständig ist.

Diese Datenschutzerklärung hat den Stand vom 25. Mai 2018. Wir behalten uns vor, die Datenschutzerklärung zu gegebener Zeit zu aktualisieren, um den Datenschutz zu verbessern und/oder an geänderte Behördenpraxis oder Rechtsprechung anzupassen.
