3. Service Providers

Google

We use several services from Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland (hereafter: "Google") to improve our Service.

Google Analytics

Google Analytics is a web analytics service of Google that uses Cookies to gather information about Your use of this website. This information is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. However, due to the activation of IP anonymization on these websites, Your IP address will be shortened by Google beforehand within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be sent to a Google server in the US and shortened there. Google will use this information on Our behalf to evaluate Your use of the Website, to compile reports on Website activities and to provide other services related to Website activity and internet usage to Us. The IP address provided by Google Analytics within the framework of Google Analytics will not be merged with other data provided by Google.

Legal basis

The processing of the data is based on Your consent(Article 6 (1) (a) GDPR).

Receiver

The recipient of the data is Google as a processor. For this, We have concluded with Google the corresponding order processing contract.

Storage time

The deletion of the data takes place as soon as they are no longer necessary for Our recording purposes.

Third country transfer

Google processes Your data in the US and has submitted to the EU_US Privacy Shield https://www.dataprivacyframework.gov/.

Provision required or necessary

The provision of Your personal data is voluntary, solely on the basis of Your consent.

Withdrawal of consent

You can prevent the saving of Cookies by setting up Your browser software accordingly. However, We point out that in this case You may not be able to use this Service to its full extent.

You may also prevent the collection of data generated by the Cookies and related to Your use of the Website (including Your IP address) and the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available under the following link: Browser Add On zur Deaktivierung von Google Analytics.

As an alternative to the browser add-on, You can prevent tracking by Google Analytics on Our pages by declining Cookies in the Cookie consent form or by clicking on this link. An opt-out cookie will then be installed on Your Device. This will prevent the collection by Google Analytics for this Website and for this browser in the future, as long as the Cookie remains installed in Your browser.

Profiling

With the help of the tracking tool Google Analytics the behavior of the visitors of the Website can be evaluated and the interests analyzed. For this we create a pseudonymous user profile.

The “Google Custom Search Engine” (Google CSE) is used as a central search service within our online offering. The integrated search service enables a full-text search for content on this homepage. Access to this search function is possible via a search box integrated in the header of the individual websites.

To inform You, the text “Search with Google” is displayed in the search box. If the input field of the search box is selected by the user and filled with a search term, an additional link appears below the search box ("Information on Google™ search"), which refers to the information on data protection provided here.

Activation of search

By entering a search term in the search box and then pressing the enter key or the search icon (magnifying glass), the user activates the search function and the search results page, which is provided by Google Plugins, is called up and reloads the corresponding search results from Google. In doing so, data is transmitted to the search service.

Search Results Page

The plug-in developed and made available by Google (Google Custom Search Engine “Google CSE”) is integrated into the search results page by the operator of this homepage as a software module “as-is” (unchanged). The plugin enables automated communication (data exchange) between the search results page and the Google service when the search results page is called. The use of the search function provided by Google includes a dynamic transfer of data by the Service Provider Google to the search results page.

Transfer of data and Google CSE

Data is only transmitted to Google as soon as the user has called up the search results page. By using the search function within the search results page, user data is also transmitted to Google at the same time. If official web pages of this homepage are called up without activating the "Google user-defined search", no data will be transmitted to the search Service Provider (Google). There is an exception in cases where users directly reference a search results page though.

Consent to data transfer by using Google search

By using the full-text search and the associated access to the search results page, You consent to the transfer of data to the Google service. These include e.g. the search terms You entered and the IP address of the computer You are using.

Please note that different data protection standards apply to Google than to this Service. We point out that the processing, in particular the storage, deletion and use of any personal data that may be transferred, is the responsibility of the search Service Provider and that We have no influence on the type and scope of the data transferred as well as its further processing.

If You are logged into Google at the same time, the Google service is able to assign the information directly to Your user profile. You should log out to avoid the collection of Personal Data.

Further information from Google about the handling of user data (data protection declaration) is available at: https://policies.google.com/privacy

Youtube

On some of Our Website's pages we embed Youtube videos. The corresponding plug-ins are operated by YouTube which is owned by Google. When You visit a page with the YouTube plug-in, it will connect to Youtube's servers. Youtube will be informed which pages You visit. If You are logged into Your Youtube account, Youtube can connect Your surfing behavior to You personally. This can be prevented by logging out of Your Youtube account beforehand.

If a Youtube video is started, Youtube usually uses Cookies that collect information about user behavior. We use Youtube's "nocookie" embedding mode to avoid storage of Cookies.

But Youtube also stores non-personal usage information in other Cookies. If You want to prevent this, You have to block the storage of Cookies in Your browser.

Further information on data protection at Youtube can be found in their privacy policy: https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/

Paypal

On this website, We have integrated components of PayPal. The European operating company of PayPal is PayPal (Europe) S.à.r.l. et Cie, S.C.A., 22-24 Boulevard Royal L-2449, Luxemburg.

PayPal is an online payment Service Provider. Payments are processed via so-called PayPal accounts, which represent virtual private or business accounts. PayPal is also able to process virtual payments through credit cards when a user does not have a PayPal account. A PayPal account is managed via an e-mail address, which is why there are no classic account numbers. PayPal makes it possible to trigger online payments to third parties or to receive payments. PayPal also accepts trustee functions and offers buyer protection services.

If You choose "PayPal" as the payment option in the online shop during the ordering process, Personal Data is automatically transmited to PayPal. By selecting this payment option, You agree to the transfer of Personal Data required for payment processing.

The Personal Data transmitted to PayPal is usually first name, last name, address, email address, IP address, telephone number, mobile phone number, or other data necessary for payment processing. The processing of the purchase contract also requires such Personal Data, which are in connection with the respective order.

The transmission of the data is aimed at payment processing and fraud prevention. We will transfer Personal Data to PayPal, in particular, if a legitimate interest in the transmission is given. The Personal Data exchanged between PayPal and Us for the processing of the data will be transmitted by PayPal to economic credit agencies. This transmission is intended for identity and creditworthiness checks.

PayPal will, if necessary, pass on Personal Data to affiliates and service providers or subcontractors to the extent that this is necessary to fulfill contractual obligations or for data to be processed in the order.

You have the possibility to revoke consent for the handling of Personal Data at any time from PayPal. A revocation shall not have any effect on Personal Data which must be processed, used or transmitted in accordance with (contractual) payment processing.

The applicable data protection provisions of PayPal may be retrieved under https://www.paypal.com/us/webapps/mpp/ua/privacy-full.
