Privacy policy

Privacy Policy

We are very pleased about your interest in our company. Data protection has a particularly high priority for the management of Breuell & Hilgenfeldt GmbH. The use of the Internet pages of Breuell & Hilgenfeldt GmbH is generally possible without providing any personal data. However, if a data subject wishes to use special services of our company via our website, the processing of personal data may become necessary. If the processing of personal data is required and there is no legal basis for such processing, we generally obtain the consent of the data subject.

The processing of personal data, such as the name, address, email address or telephone number of a data subject, always takes place in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and in compliance with the country-specific data protection regulations applicable to Breuell & Hilgenfeldt GmbH. With this privacy policy, our company would like to inform the public about the type, scope, and purpose of the personal data we collect, use, and process. Furthermore, data subjects are informed of their rights by means of this privacy policy.

Breuell & Hilgenfeldt GmbH, as the data controller, has implemented numerous technical and organizational measures to ensure the most complete protection possible of personal data processed via this website. Nevertheless, Internet-based data transmissions may generally have security gaps, so absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, every data subject is free to transmit personal data to us by alternative means, for example by telephone.

1. Definitions

The privacy policy of Breuell & Hilgenfeldt GmbH is based on the terms used by the European legislator when adopting the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Our privacy policy is intended to be easy to read and understand for the public as well as for our customers and business partners. To ensure this, we would like to explain the terminology used in advance.

We use, among others, the following terms in this privacy policy:

  • a) Personal data
    Personal data means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (“data subject”). An identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural, or social identity of that natural person.

  • b) Data subject
    A data subject is any identified or identifiable natural person whose personal data is processed by the data controller.

  • c) Processing
    Processing is any operation or set of operations performed on personal data, whether or not by automated means, such as collection, recording, organization, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure or destruction.

  • d) Restriction of processing
    Restriction of processing is the marking of stored personal data with the aim of limiting their future processing.

  • e) Profiling
    Profiling means any form of automated processing of personal data consisting of the use of such data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to analyze or predict aspects concerning that natural person’s performance at work, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behavior, location or movements.

  • f) Pseudonymization
    Pseudonymization is the processing of personal data in such a way that the personal data can no longer be attributed to a specific data subject without the use of additional information, provided that such additional information is kept separately and subject to technical and organizational measures.

  • g) Controller or data controller
    Controller or data controller means the natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data.

  • h) Processor
    A processor is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which processes personal data on behalf of the controller.

  • i) Recipient
    A recipient is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or another body, to which personal data are disclosed, whether a third party or not. However, public authorities that may receive personal data in the framework of a particular inquiry shall not be regarded as recipients.

  • j) Third party
    A third party is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or body other than the data subject, controller, processor, and persons authorized to process personal data under the direct authority of the controller or processor.

  • k) Consent
    Consent means any freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous indication of the data subject’s wishes by which he or she, by a statement or by a clear affirmative action, signifies agreement to the processing of personal data relating to him or her.

2. Name and Address of the Controller

Controller for the purposes of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), other data protection laws applicable in Member states of the European Union and other provisions related to data protection is:

Breuell & Hilgenfeldt GmbH
Oststraße 96
22844 Norderstedt
Germany
Phone: +49-(0)40-538092-20
Email: info@bh-gmbh.com
Website: www.breuell-hilgenfeldt.de

3. Cookies

The website of Breuell & Hilgenfeldt GmbH uses cookies. Cookies are text files that are stored on a computer system via an Internet browser.

Many Internet sites and servers use cookies. Many cookies contain a so-called cookie ID, which is a unique identifier of the cookie. It consists of a string of characters through which Internet pages and servers can be assigned to the specific Internet browser in which the cookie was stored. This allows visited Internet sites and servers to distinguish the individual browser of the data subject from other Internet browsers that contain other cookies. A specific Internet browser can be recognized and identified using the unique cookie ID.

Through the use of cookies, Breuell & Hilgenfeldt GmbH can provide the users of this website with more user-friendly services that would not be possible without the cookie setting.
For example, cookies enable us to recognize the users of our website. The purpose of this recognition is to make it easier for users to utilize our website.
Another example is the cookie of a shopping cart in an online shop: the online store remembers the items that a customer has placed in the virtual shopping cart via a cookie.

The data subject may prevent the setting of cookies through our website at any time by means of a corresponding setting of the Internet browser used and may thus permanently deny the setting of cookies. Furthermore, already set cookies may be deleted at any time via an Internet browser or other software programs. If the data subject deactivates the setting of cookies in the Internet browser used, not all functions of our website may be entirely usable.

4. Collection of General Data and Information

Each time the Breuell & Hilgenfeldt GmbH website is accessed by a data subject or an automated system, a series of general data and information is collected. These general data and information are stored in the server’s log files. The following data may be collected:

  1. the types and versions of browsers used,

  2. the operating system used by the accessing system,

  3. the website from which an accessing system reaches our website (referrer),

  4. the sub-pages which are accessed via an accessing system on our website,

  5. the date and time of access to the website,

  6. an Internet Protocol address (IP address),

  7. the Internet service provider of the accessing system, and

  8. any other similar data and information that may be used in the event of attacks on our IT systems.

When using these general data and information, Breuell & Hilgenfeldt GmbH does not draw any conclusions about the data subject. Rather, this information is required to:

  • deliver the content of our website correctly,

  • optimize the content of our website as well as the advertising for it,

  • ensure the long-term viability of our IT systems and website technology, and

  • provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for criminal prosecution in the event of a cyber-attack.

These anonymously collected data and information are therefore evaluated statistically and also with the aim of increasing data protection and data security in our company, in order to ultimately ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data we process. The anonymous data of the server log files are stored separately from all personal data provided by a data subject.

5. Registration on Our Website

The data subject has the possibility to register on the website of the controller by providing personal data. Which personal data are transmitted to the controller results from the respective input mask used for the registration.

The personal data entered by the data subject are collected and stored exclusively for internal use by the controller and for its own purposes. The controller may arrange for transfer to one or more processors (e.g. parcel service providers), who also use the personal data exclusively for an internal purpose attributable to the controller.

By registering on the controller’s website, the IP address assigned by the Internet Service Provider (ISP) and used by the data subject, as well as the date and time of registration are also stored. The storage of these data takes place against the background that this is the only way to prevent the misuse of our services, and, if necessary, to make it possible to investigate committed offences. In this respect, the storage of these data is necessary to secure the controller. These data are not passed on to third parties unless there is a legal obligation to pass them on, or if the disclosure serves the purpose of criminal prosecution.

The registration of the data subject by the voluntary provision of personal data is intended to enable the controller to offer the data subject content or services which, by their nature, may only be offered to registered users. Registered persons are free to change the personal data specified during registration at any time, or to have them completely deleted from the database of the controller.

The controller shall, at any time upon request, provide information to each data subject as to what personal data are stored about the data subject. In addition, the controller shall correct or delete personal data at the request or indication of the data subject, insofar as there are no legal storage obligations to the contrary.

6. GetResponse

This website uses GetResponse for the distribution of newsletters. Provider is GetResponse Sp. z o.o., ul. Arkońska 6/A3, 80-387 Gdańsk, Poland.

GetResponse is a service with which, among other things, the sending of newsletters can be organized and analyzed. The data you enter for the purpose of receiving newsletters is stored on the servers of GetResponse.

Data analysis by GetResponse
When we send newsletters using GetResponse, we can determine whether a newsletter message has been opened and which links may have been clicked.
GetResponse also enables us to segment the newsletter recipients into different categories (so-called tagging). For example, newsletter recipients can be divided by gender, personal preferences (e.g. vegetarian or non-vegetarian) or customer relationship (e.g. customer or potential customer). This allows newsletters to be better adapted to the respective target groups. More information is available at: https://www.getresponse.com.

If you do not want any analysis by GetResponse, you must unsubscribe from the newsletter. For this purpose, we provide a corresponding link in every newsletter message. You can also unsubscribe directly via the website.

Legal basis
The data processing is based on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR). You can revoke this consent at any time. The lawfulness of the data processing operations already carried out remains unaffected by the revocation.

Storage period
The data you provide for the purpose of receiving the newsletter will be stored by us until you unsubscribe and deleted from both our servers and the servers of GetResponse after you unsubscribe. Data stored by us for other purposes (e.g. email addresses for the member area) remain unaffected.

Further details can be found in the privacy policy of GetResponse: https://www.getresponse.com/legal/privacy.

Contract for data processing
We have concluded a data processing agreement with GetResponse, in which we oblige GetResponse to protect the data of our customers and not to pass them on to third parties.

7. Newsletter Tracking

The newsletters of Breuell & Hilgenfeldt GmbH contain so-called tracking pixels. A tracking pixel is a miniature graphic embedded in such emails, which are sent in HTML format to enable log file recording and analysis. This allows a statistical evaluation of the success or failure of online marketing campaigns.

Based on the embedded tracking pixel, Breuell & Hilgenfeldt GmbH can see if and when an email was opened by a data subject and which links in the email were called up.

Such personal data collected via the tracking pixels contained in the newsletters are stored and evaluated by the controller in order to optimize the newsletter distribution and to adapt the content of future newsletters even better to the interests of the data subject. These personal data will not be passed on to third parties.

Data subjects are entitled to revoke the relevant separate declaration of consent, submitted through the double-opt-in procedure, at any time. After a revocation, these personal data will be deleted by the controller. Breuell & Hilgenfeldt GmbH automatically regards a withdrawal from the receipt of the newsletter as a revocation.

8. Contact Possibility via the Website

The website of Breuell & Hilgenfeldt GmbH contains information that enables a quick electronic contact to our company, as well as direct communication with us, which also includes a general address for electronic mail (email address).

If a data subject contacts the controller by email or via a contact form, the personal data transmitted by the data subject are automatically stored. Such personal data transmitted voluntarily by a data subject to the controller are stored for the purpose of processing or contacting the data subject. There is no transfer of these personal data to third parties.

9. Routine Erasure and Blocking of Personal Data

The controller processes and stores personal data of the data subject only for the period necessary to achieve the purpose of storage, or as far as this is granted by the European legislator or other legislators in laws or regulations to which the controller is subject.

If the storage purpose is not applicable, or if a storage period prescribed by the European legislator or another competent legislator expires, the personal data are routinely blocked or erased in accordance with legal requirements.

10. Rights of the Data Subject

Every data subject has the rights granted by the European legislator under the GDPR. These include in particular:

  • a) Right to confirmation
    Each data subject shall have the right to obtain confirmation from the controller as to whether or not personal data concerning him or her are being processed.

  • b) Right of access
    Each data subject shall have the right to obtain free information from the controller at any time about his or her personal data stored and a copy of this information. This right also includes the following details:

    • the purposes of processing,

    • the categories of personal data concerned,

    • the recipients or categories of recipients to whom the personal data have been or will be disclosed, in particular recipients in third countries or international organizations,

    • where possible, the envisaged period for which the personal data will be stored, or, if not possible, the criteria used to determine that period,

    • the existence of the right to request rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, or to object to such processing,

    • the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority,

    • if the data are not collected from the data subject: any available information as to their source,

    • the existence of automated decision-making, including profiling, and, where applicable, meaningful information about the logic involved, as well as the significance and the envisaged consequences of such processing.

    Furthermore, the data subject has the right to know whether personal data are transferred to a third country or to an international organization. Where this is the case, the data subject has the right to be informed of the appropriate safeguards relating to the transfer.

  • c) Right to rectification
    Each data subject shall have the right to obtain the rectification of inaccurate personal data concerning him or her without undue delay. Taking into account the purposes of processing, the data subject shall have the right to have incomplete personal data completed, including by means of providing a supplementary statement.

  • d) Right to erasure (“Right to be forgotten”)
    Each data subject shall have the right to obtain from the controller the erasure of personal data concerning him or her without undue delay, where one of the following grounds applies:

    • The personal data are no longer necessary in relation to the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed.

    • The data subject withdraws consent on which the processing is based, and there is no other legal ground for the processing.

    • The data subject objects to the processing and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing, or the data subject objects to the processing for direct marketing purposes.

    • The personal data have been unlawfully processed.

    • The personal data must be erased for compliance with a legal obligation in Union or Member State law.

    • The personal data have been collected in relation to the offer of information society services to a child.

    Where the controller has made personal data public and is obliged to erase them, it shall take reasonable steps, including technical measures, to inform other controllers processing the personal data that the data subject has requested the erasure of all links to, or copies or replications of, those personal data.

  • e) Right to restriction of processing
    Each data subject shall have the right to obtain restriction of processing where one of the following applies:

    • The accuracy of the personal data is contested by the data subject, for a period enabling the controller to verify accuracy.

    • The processing is unlawful and the data subject opposes the erasure and requests restriction instead.

    • The controller no longer needs the personal data, but the data are required by the data subject for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.

    • The data subject has objected to processing pending verification of whether the legitimate grounds of the controller override those of the data subject.

  • f) Right to data portability
    Each data subject shall have the right to receive the personal data concerning him or her, which were provided to a controller, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format, and has the right to transmit those data to another controller without hindrance.

  • g) Right to object
    Each data subject shall have the right to object, on grounds relating to his or her particular situation, at any time to the processing of personal data concerning him or her based on Article 6(1)(e) or (f) GDPR, including profiling.

    In case of direct marketing, the data subject has the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data for such marketing, which includes profiling to the extent that it is related to such direct marketing.

  • h) Automated individual decision-making, including profiling
    Each data subject shall have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects or similarly significantly affects him or her, unless required by law, necessary for a contract, or based on explicit consent.

  • i) Right to withdraw consent
    Each data subject shall have the right to withdraw his or her consent to processing of personal data at any time.

Data subjects can exercise these rights at any time by contacting our data protection officer or any employee of the controller.

11. Data Protection in Applications and Application Procedures

The controller collects and processes the personal data of applicants for the purpose of handling the application procedure. The processing may also be carried out electronically. This is particularly the case if an applicant submits corresponding application documents by email or via a web form on the website.

If the controller concludes an employment contract with an applicant, the data transmitted will be stored for the purpose of processing the employment relationship in compliance with legal requirements.

If no employment contract is concluded, the application documents will be automatically deleted two months after notification of the rejection decision, provided that no other legitimate interests of the controller conflict with such deletion. Another legitimate interest in this sense is, for example, the duty to provide evidence in proceedings under the German General Equal Treatment Act (AGG).

12. Legal Basis for Processing

Art. 6(1)(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 data subject is party (e.g. the processing necessary for the delivery of goods or the provision of another service), processing is based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR. The same applies to such processing operations that are necessary for carrying out pre-contractual measures, such as inquiries about our products or services.

If our company is subject to a legal obligation which requires the processing of personal data (e.g. fulfillment of tax obligations), processing is based on Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR.

In rare cases, processing of personal data may be necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person (e.g. when a visitor is injured in our company and their personal data such as name, age, health insurance data, or other vital information must be passed on to a doctor, hospital, or third party). In this case, processing would be based on Art. 6(1)(d) GDPR.

Ultimately, processing operations could be based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. This legal basis is used for processing operations that are not covered by any of the above-mentioned legal grounds, if processing is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest of our company or a third party, provided that the interests, fundamental rights, and freedoms of the data subject do not prevail. Such processing operations are particularly permitted because they have been specifically mentioned by the European legislator. It considered that a legitimate interest could be assumed if the data subject is a customer of the controller (Recital 47 sentence 2 GDPR).

13. Legitimate Interests in Processing Pursued by the Controller or a Third Party

Where the processing of personal data is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, our legitimate interest is the conduct of our business activities in favor of the well-being of all our employees and shareholders.

14. Period for Which Personal Data Will Be Stored

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

15. Statutory or Contractual Requirements to Provide Personal Data; Necessity for Contract Conclusion; Obligation of the Data Subject to Provide the Personal Data; Possible Consequences of Failure to Provide

We inform you that the provision of personal data is partly required by law (e.g. tax regulations) or may also result from contractual provisions (e.g. details of the contracting party). Sometimes it may be necessary for a contract to be concluded that a data subject provides us with personal data which must subsequently be processed by us.

The data subject is, for example, obliged to provide us with personal data when our company concludes a contract with them. Failure to provide the personal data would mean that the contract could not be concluded.

Before providing personal data, the data subject must contact our data protection officer. Our data protection officer clarifies on a case-by-case basis whether the provision of personal data is legally or contractually required, necessary for contract conclusion, whether there is an obligation to provide the personal data, and the consequences of failure to provide personal data.

16. Existence of Automated Decision-Making

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

17. Data Protection Provisions about the Application and Use of Google Analytics (with Anonymization Function)

The controller has integrated the component Google Analytics (with the anonymization function) on this website. Google Analytics is a web analytics service. Web analytics is the collection, gathering, and evaluation of data regarding the behavior of visitors to websites. A web analysis service collects, among other things, data on which website a data subject has come from (referrer), which sub-pages were accessed, or how often and for what duration a sub-page was viewed.

The operating company of Google Analytics is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA.

For web analytics through Google Analytics, the controller uses the application “_gat._anonymizeIp”. By means of this application, the IP address of the Internet connection of the data subject is shortened and anonymized when accessing our websites from a Member State of the European Union or another state party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area.

The purpose of the Google Analytics component is the analysis of visitor flows on our website. Google uses the collected data and information, among other things, to evaluate the use of our website, to compile online reports showing the activities on our websites, and to provide other services concerning the use of our website.

Google Analytics sets a cookie on the data subject’s IT system. With the setting of the cookie, Google is enabled to analyze the use of our website. Each time one of the individual pages of this website operated by the controller and into which a Google Analytics component has been integrated is accessed, the Internet browser on the IT system of the data subject will automatically submit data through the Google Analytics component for online analysis purposes.

In this technical procedure, Google gains knowledge of personal data, such as the IP address of the data subject, which serves Google, among other things, to understand the origin of visitors and clicks and subsequently to enable commission settlements.

Personal information, including the access time, location from which access originated, and the frequency of visits to our website by the data subject, is stored via the cookie. Each time our websites are visited, such personal data, including the IP address of the Internet connection used by the data subject, are transmitted to Google in the United States of America. These personal data are stored by Google in the United States of America and may be shared with third parties.

The data subject may prevent the setting of cookies through our website, as already mentioned above, at any time by means of a corresponding setting of the Internet browser used and may thus permanently deny the setting of cookies. Such a setting would also prevent Google Analytics from setting a cookie on the IT system of the data subject. In addition, a cookie already set by Google Analytics may be deleted at any time via the Internet browser or other software programs.

In addition, the data subject has the possibility of objecting to a collection of data generated by Google Analytics relating to the use of this website, as well as to the processing of this data by Google, and to prevent such. For this purpose, the data subject must download and install a browser add-on under the link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

Further information and the applicable data protection provisions of Google may be retrieved under: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/ and http://www.google.com/analytics/terms/.

18. Contact / Online (Live) Chat via Smartsupp

This website uses the live chat plugin Smartsupp, provided by Smartsupp.com, Milady Horakove 13, 602 00 Brno, Czech Republic.

You can use Smartsupp to start a direct communication with our employees. The Smartsupp plugin records data (browser information, visited page content, and conversation) during the website visit, anonymized, when information is exchanged between the visitor and our employee. “Session” cookies are used, which are deleted after the website visit. The cookies contain no personal data. Data is usually transmitted to servers in the EU in encrypted form.

The storage takes place on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) and (f) GDPR. Visitors can voluntarily use this function to directly contact the operator of the offer. The website operator also has a legitimate interest in analyzing user behavior in order to optimize both the website offering and advertising.

Opt-out from data collection
You can prevent Smartsupp from collecting your data by not using the chat function of this website. In addition, you can install an add-in in your browser that blocks this plugin.

Data processing agreement
Data processing occurs automatically with the website visit. Smartsupp describes the handling of data transparently in accordance with GDPR requirements at: https://www.smartsupp.com/help/privacy/.

19. Google Ads Conversion Tracking

This website also uses Google Ads Conversion Tracking. When you click on a Google ad and land on our website, Google Ads sets a cookie on your computer. These cookies lose their validity after 30 days and are not used for personal identification.

If the user visits certain pages of the website of an Ads customer and the cookie has not yet expired, Google and the customer can recognize that the user clicked on the ad and was redirected to this page. Each Ads customer receives a different cookie. Cookies can therefore not be tracked via the websites of Ads customers.

The information collected with the help of conversion cookies is used to create conversion statistics for Ads customers who have opted for conversion tracking. Ads customers learn the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a page tagged with a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not receive any information that personally identifies users.

If you do not want to participate in tracking, you can refuse the setting of the required cookie — for example via browser settings that generally deactivate automatic cookie setting. You can also deactivate cookies for conversion tracking by setting your browser to block cookies from the domain “www.googleadservices.com“.

Further information on Google Ads Conversion Tracking can be found in Google’s privacy policy: http://www.google.com/policies/privacy/.

20. Data Protection Provisions about the Use of Google Maps

On this website, we use the offer of Google Maps. This allows us to display interactive maps directly on the website and enables convenient use of the map function.

By visiting the website, Google receives the information that you have accessed the corresponding subpage of our website. In addition, the data mentioned in Section 4 of this privacy policy will be transmitted. This occurs regardless of whether Google provides a user account through which you are logged in, or whether there is no user account.

If you are logged in to Google, your data will be assigned directly to your account. If you do not want this assignment with your profile at Google, you must log out before activating the button. Google stores your data as usage profiles and uses them for purposes of advertising, market research and/or demand-oriented design of its website. Such an evaluation is carried out (even for users who are not logged in) in particular to provide tailored advertising and to inform other users of the social network about your activities on our website.

You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles, whereby you must contact Google to exercise this right.

Further information on the purpose and scope of data collection and processing by Google can be found in the provider’s privacy policies. There you will also find further information on your rights in this regard and setting options to protect your privacy:
https://www.google.de/intl/en/policies/privacy.

21. Data Protection Provisions about the Use of Facebook

The controller has integrated components of the enterprise Facebook on this website. Facebook is a social network.

A social network is a place for social meetings on the Internet, an online community, which usually allows users to communicate and interact in a virtual space. A social network may serve as a platform for the exchange of opinions and experiences or enable the Internet community to provide personal or company-related information.

The operating company of Facebook is Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland.

Each time one of the individual pages of this Internet site, operated by the controller and into which a Facebook component (Facebook plug-ins) has been integrated, is called up, the Internet browser on the IT system of the data subject is automatically prompted to download the display of the corresponding Facebook component from Facebook. A complete overview of all Facebook plug-ins may be accessed under: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/.

During this technical procedure, Facebook is made aware of which specific subpage of our website was visited by the data subject.

If the data subject is logged in at the same time on Facebook, Facebook detects with every call-up to our website by the data subject — and for the entire duration of their stay on our website — which specific subpage of our Internet page was visited. This information is collected through the Facebook component and associated with the respective Facebook account of the data subject.

If the data subject clicks on one of the Facebook buttons integrated into our website, e.g. the “Like” button, or if the data subject submits a comment, then Facebook matches this information with the personal Facebook user account of the data subject and stores the personal data.

Facebook always receives, through the Facebook component, information about a visit to our website by the data subject, whenever the data subject is logged in to Facebook at the same time as accessing our website. This occurs regardless of whether the person clicks on the Facebook component or not. If such a transmission of information to Facebook is not desirable for the data subject, then he or she may prevent this by logging off from their Facebook account before a call-up to our website is made.

The data policy published by Facebook, available at https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/, provides information about the collection, processing, and use of personal data by Facebook. It also explains which setting options Facebook offers to protect the privacy of the data subject.

22. Data Protection Provisions about the Use of the Google+ Button

The controller has integrated the Google+ button as a component on this website. Google+ is a so-called social network.

Google+ allows users to create private profiles, upload photos, and network via friend requests. The operating company of Google+ is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA.

Each time one of the individual pages of this website, operated by the controller and on which a Google+ button has been integrated, is called up, the Internet browser on the IT system of the data subject automatically downloads a display of the corresponding Google+ button from Google. During this technical procedure, Google is informed about which specific subpage of our website was visited by the data subject.

If the data subject is logged in at the same time on Google+, Google recognizes with each call-up of our website by the data subject and for the entire duration of their stay on our website, which specific subpage of our Internet site was visited. This information is collected via the Google+ button and Google associates it with the respective Google+ account of the data subject.

If the data subject clicks on the Google+ button integrated on our website and thus gives a Google+ recommendation, Google associates this information with the personal Google+ user account of the data subject and stores this personal data.

Google receives information via the Google+ button that the data subject has visited our website, provided that the data subject is logged in to Google+ at the time of visiting our website. This occurs regardless of whether the data subject clicks the Google+ button or not.

If such transmission of personal data to Google is not desirable, the data subject may prevent this by logging off from their Google+ account before visiting our website.

Further information and the data protection provisions of Google may be retrieved at https://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy/.

23. Data Protection Provisions about the Use of Twitter

The controller has integrated Twitter components on this website. Twitter is a multilingual, publicly accessible microblogging service where users may publish and spread so-called “tweets”, i.e. short messages, which are limited to 280 characters.

The operating company of Twitter is Twitter International Company, One Cumberland Place, Fenian Street, Dublin 2, D02 AX07, Ireland.

Each time one of the individual pages of this Internet site, operated by the controller and on which a Twitter component (Twitter button) has been integrated, is called up, the Internet browser on the IT system of the data subject is automatically prompted to download a display of the corresponding Twitter component. During this technical procedure, Twitter gains knowledge of which specific subpage of our website was visited by the data subject.

If the data subject is logged in to Twitter at the same time, Twitter detects with every call-up to our website by the data subject — and for the entire duration of their stay on our website — which specific subpage of our Internet site was visited. This information is collected through the Twitter component and associated with the respective Twitter account of the data subject.

If the data subject clicks on one of the Twitter buttons integrated into our website, the data and information transmitted will be assigned to the personal Twitter user account of the data subject and stored and processed by Twitter.

Twitter’s privacy policy, available at https://twitter.com/privacy, provides information about the collection, processing, and use of personal data by Twitter.
