Third countries are countries in which the GDPR is not directly applicable. This includes, in principle, all countries outside the EU or the European Economic Area ("EEA").

The level of data protection in other countries may not be the same as in your country. However, we only transfer your personal data to countries that the European Commission has determined to have an adequate level of data protection or take appropriate measures to ensure that all recipients offer an adequate level of data protection. We do this, for example, by concluding appropriate data transfer agreements on the basis of standard contractual clauses for the transfer of personal data to third countries in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2021/914 of the European Parliament and of the Council of the Commission of the European Union while applying additional safeguards to ensure an adequate level of data protection.

The information collected by Google about your use of our services (e.g. the pages visited on our website) is transferred to a Google server in the USA, stored and analysed there, and the result is made available to us in anonymised form.

Adobe Analytics 

Scope of data processing

Our services use Adobe Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Adobe Systems Software Ireland Limited, 4-6 Riverwalk, Citywest Business Campus, Dublin 24, Ireland ("Adobe").

Adobe Analytics uses local storage and "cookies", i.e. text files placed on your device, to analyse the entire data stream of all our services.

When usage information is transmitted to Adobe via our services, your IP address is anonymised before geolocalisation and replaced by a generic IP address before storage.

You can prevent the use of tracking by selecting the appropriate settings on your device. Please note, however, that you may not be able to use all the functions of the website if you do so. In addition, you can prevent Adobe from collecting and using data (cookies and IP address) in your browser by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at http://www.adobe.com/privacy/opt-out.html.

Purpose of data processing

Adobe uses this information on our behalf to analyse the use of our services and to compile reports on user activity. This enables us to improve your online experience and increase the user-friendliness of our digital offerings.

Legal basis for the processing

The legal basis for this processing is your informed consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a. GDPR.

Duration of storage

Sessions and campaigns are ended after a certain period of time. By default, sessions are ended after 30 minutes without activity and campaigns after six months. The time limit for campaigns is a maximum of two years.

Google Ads 

Scope of data processing

We use the service from Google Google Ads (formerly Google AdWords) to advertise our products and associated services on external platforms using advertising material (Google Ads). These adverts are delivered by Google via so-called "ad servers". For this purpose, we use ad server cookies, which can be used to measure certain parameters for measuring success, such as the display of adverts or clicks by users. If you access our services via a Google advert, Google Ads will store a cookie on your device.

We have described above what cookies are and how they can be deleted. With the help of these cookies, Google can recognise your internet browser. If a user visits certain pages of an AdWords customer's website and the cookie stored on their device has not yet expired, Google and the customer can recognise that the user clicked on the ad and was redirected to this page. A different cookie is assigned to each AdWords customer. Cookies can therefore not be tracked via the websites of AdWords customers. We ourselves do not collect and process any personal data in the aforementioned advertising measures; we only receive statistical analyses from Google. These analyses allow us to recognise which of the advertising measures used are particularly effective. We do not receive any further data from the use of the advertising material; in particular, we cannot identify users on the basis of this information.

Due to the marketing tools used, your browser automatically establishes a direct connection with the Google server. We have no influence on the scope and further use of the data collected by Google through the use of this tool and therefore inform you according to our level of knowledge: Through the integration of AdWords Conversion, Google receives the information that you have accessed the corresponding part of our website or clicked on an advert from us. If you are registered with a Google service, Google can assign the visit to your account. Even if you are not registered with Google or have not logged in, there is a possibility that the provider will find out your IP address and store it.

Purpose of data processing

We can determine how successful the individual advertising measures are in relation to the advertising campaign data. In this way, we pursue the interest of showing you advertising that is of interest to you, making our services more interesting for you and achieving a fair calculation of advertising costs.

Legal basis for the processing

The legal basis for this processing is your informed consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a. GDPR.

Duration of storage

These cookies generally lose their validity after 30 days and are not intended to identify you personally. The unique cookie ID, number of ad impressions per placement (frequency), last impression (relevant for post-view conversions) and opt-out information (marking that the user no longer wishes to be addressed) are usually stored as analysis values for this cookie.

Possibility of objection and deletion of data

You have various options for preventing this tracking process:

a) By changing the settings of your browser software accordingly, specifically by rejecting third-party cookies; in this way, you will no longer receive advertising from third-party providers.

b) By disabling conversion tracking cookies by setting your browser to cookies from the domain block www.googleadservices.com, https://www.google.com/settings/ads; please note that this setting will be cancelled if you delete your cookies.

c) By deactivating personalised advertising from providers participating in the "About Ads" self-regulation programme via the link http://www.aboutads.info/choices; please note that this setting will be cancelled if you delete your cookies.

d) By permanently deactivating the process in Firefox, Internet Explorer or Google Chrome using the link https://www.google.co.uk/settings/ads/plugin.
