The collection and use of your data strictly comply with the provisions of the Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG) and the Telemedia Act (TMG).

Objection to Advertising Emails

As part of our legal obligation to provide an imprint, we must publish our contact details. These are sometimes used by third parties to send unsolicited advertising and information. We hereby object to any sending of advertising material of any kind that has not been expressly authorized by us. We also expressly reserve the right to take legal action against the unwanted and unsolicited sending of advertising material. This applies in particular to so-called spam emails, spam letters, and spam faxes. We point out that the unauthorized transmission of advertising material can have consequences under competition law, civil law, and criminal law. In particular, spam emails and spam faxes can lead to high claims for damages if they disrupt business operations by overflowing mailboxes or fax machines.

Instagram

To promote our products and services and communicate with prospective customers or clients, we maintain a company presence on the Instagram platform.

On this social media platform, we are jointly responsible with Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2 Ireland.

https://www.facebook.com/legal/terms/page_controller_addendum

The legal basis for the resulting processing of personal data, as reproduced below, is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in the analysis, communication, sale, and promotion of our products and services.

The legal basis may also be the user's consent to the platform operator in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. The user can revoke this consent at any time with future effect vis-à-vis the platform operator in accordance with Art. 7 para. 3 GDPR.

When visiting our online presence on the Instagram platform, Facebook Ireland Ltd., as the platform operator in the EU, processes user data (e.g., personal information, IP address, etc.).

This user data is used to provide statistical information about our company's Instagram presence.

These profiles enable Facebook Ireland Ltd. to display interest-based advertising to users both within and outside of Instagram, for example. If the user is logged into their Instagram account at the time of the visit, Facebook Ireland Ltd. can also link the data to that user account.

If the user contacts us via Instagram, the personal data entered by the user on this occasion will be used to process the request. The user's data will be deleted by us once the user's request has been conclusively answered and no legal retention obligations, such as in the case of subsequent contract processing, prevent this.

Facebook Ireland Ltd. may also set cookies to process the data.

If the user does not consent to this processing, they can prevent the installation of cookies by adjusting their browser settings accordingly. Cookies that have already been stored can also be deleted at any time. The relevant settings depend on the browser used. For Flash cookies, processing cannot be prevented via browser settings but by adjusting the Flash player settings. If the user prevents or restricts the installation of cookies, this may mean that not all Facebook functions can be used to their full extent.

Further information on processing activities, their prevention, and the deletion of data processed by Instagram can be found in Instagram's Data Policy:

Social Media Linking via Graphic or Text Link

We also promote our presence on the social networks listed below on our website. This integration is done via a linked graphic of the respective network. By using this linked graphic, we prevent an automatic connection to the social network's server from being established when a page containing social media advertising is loaded, which would otherwise display a graphic of the network itself. Only by clicking on the corresponding graphic will the user be redirected to the service of the respective social network.

After the user has been redirected, information about the user is collected by the respective network. It cannot be ruled out that the data collected in this way will be processed in the USA.

This initially involves data such as IP address, date, time, and the page visited. If the user is logged into their account on the respective network, the network operator can associate the information collected during the user's specific visit with the user's personal account. If the user interacts via a "Share" button of the respective network, this information can be stored and published in the user's personal account. If the user wishes to prevent the collected information from being directly associated with their account, they must log out before clicking the graphic. It is also possible to configure the respective user account accordingly.

The following social networks are integrated into our website via links:
