If you exercise your right to object, we ask you to explain the reasons. We will then no longer process your personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for processing that outweigh your interests and rights.

Regardless of the foregoing, you have the right at any time to object to the processing of your personal data for advertising and data analysis purposes.

Please address your objection to the contact address of the responsible party indicated above.

When do we delete your data?

We delete your data when we no longer need it or you tell us to do so. This means that - unless otherwise stated in the individual privacy notices of this privacy policy - we will delete your data,

  • when the purpose of data processing no longer applies and thus the respective legal basis mentioned in the individual privacy notices no longer exists, for example

  • after termination of the contractual or membership relationship between us (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR) or

  • after our legitimate interest in further processing or storage of your data ceases to apply (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR),

  • if you use your right to revoke consent and there is no other legal basis for processing within the meaning of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b-f GDPR,

  • if you use your right to object and there are no compelling legitimate grounds for deletion.

If we (certain parts of) your data must be retained for other purposes, for example due to tax retention periods (usually 6 years for business correspondence or 10 years for booking receipts) or the assertion, exercise, or defense of legal claims from contractual relationships (up to four years), we will delete (the part of) your data only after these periods have expired. Until the expiration of these periods, however, we limit the processing of this data to these purposes (i.e., to comply with retention obligations).

Online advertising.

We use services for internet advertising. The services we use collect certain user data through a cookie or pixel. This includes in particular the information from which website you arrived at our online presence (so-called referrer), which pages of our online presence you accessed, how long you visited our pages, and which interactions you performed there. In addition, data on the browser, computer system, and device type used are collected. Depending on the provider, demographic information, such as age or gender, can also be recorded as pseudonymous values. If you have consented to the collection of your location data, depending on the provider, these can also be processed. To collect and store this data and to set a cookie or a so-called counting pixel on the end device you use, the respective service collects the IP address assigned to you. However, this is shortened by a so-called IP masking procedure so that the IP address can no longer be assigned to your visit to our website. In principle, no clear data such as names or email addresses are stored when using the respective service. This is only the case if you are a member of a social network that offers one of the services listed below and your profile is merged with the aforementioned data material.

The data is evaluated by the service we use to prepare a report with statistical statements about the number of visitors generated by the advertising and the success of the advertising measure. The reports include the total number of users who were redirected to our website via our ads. In addition, the reports contain information about the end devices and browsers of the users, at which locations the users were located, at which times the advertisements were clicked. However, the reports do not contain any information with which you could be personally identified as a user of our site.

We would like to point out that depending on the location of the service provider, the data collected by the service may be transferred and processed outside the European Union. In this case, there is a risk that the level of data protection required by the GDPR may not be complied with and the enforcement of your rights may not or only be difficult to enforce.

Affected data:

  • Usage data (e.g., access times, websites clicked)

  • Communication data (e.g., information about the used device, IP address)

Affected persons: Users of our online offers

Processing purpose: Range measurement, success control of campaigns, remarketing, and interest- and behavior-based marketing

Legal basis: If we have asked for your consent before using the respective service, this is the legal basis, Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR. Otherwise, we use the respective service based on our legitimate interest in directing visitor flows to our website, analyzing these visitor flows to continuously improve the functions, offers, and user experience, Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR.
