III. General information on data processing
- scope of the processing of personal data
As a matter of principle, we collect and use personal data of our users only to the extent necessary to provide a functional website and our content and services. The collection and use of personal data of our users is regularly carried out only with the consent of the user. An exception applies in those cases where it is not possible to obtain prior consent for factual reasons and the processing of the data is permitted by legal regulations. - legal basis for the processing of personal data
Insofar as we obtain the consent of the data subject for processing operations involving personal data, Article 6 (1) (a) of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) serves as the legal basis for the processing of personal data.
When processing personal data that is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, Art. 6 (1) (b) DSGVO serves as the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations that are necessary for the performance of pre-contractual measures.
Insofar as processing of personal data is necessary for the fulfillment of a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Art. 6 (1) lit. c DSGVO serves as the legal basis.
In the event that vital interests of the data subject or another natural person make processing of personal data necessary, Art. 6 (1) lit. d DSGVO serves as the legal basis.
If the processing is necessary to protect a legitimate interest of our company or a third party and the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not override the first-mentioned interest, Art. 6 (1) f DSGVO serves as the legal basis for the processing.
- data deletion and storage period
The personal data of the data subject will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of storage ceases to apply. In addition, storage may take place if this has been provided for by the European or national legislator in Union regulations, laws or other provisions to which the controller is subject. Data will also be blocked or deleted if a storage period prescribed by the aforementioned standards expires, unless there is a need to continue storing the data for the conclusion or performance of a contract.
IV. Provision of the website and creation of log files
1. description and scope of data processing
Each time our website is called up, our system automatically collects data and information from the computer system of the calling computer.
The following data is collected in this context:
(1) Information about the browser type and version used.
(2) The operating system of the user
(3) The user’s Internet service provider
(4) The IP address of the user
(5) Date and time of access
(6) Websites from which the user’s system accesses our website
(7) Websites that are accessed by the user’s system via our website
The log files contain IP addresses or other data that allow an assignment to a user. This could be the case, for example, if the link to the website from which the user arrives at the Internet site or the link to the website to which the user goes contains personal data.
The data is also stored in the log files of our system. This data is not stored together with other personal data of the user.
Furthermore, we use the following analysis tools and social media plugins:
Google:
We use various services provided by Google Inc. from the USA. These include Google reCAPTCHA, Google Analytics, Google Adwords, Google Tag Manager, Google Fonts and Google Maps.
Google reCAPTCHA:
We use “Google reCAPTCHA” (hereinafter “reCAPTCHA”) on our website. The provider is Google Inc, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (“Google”).
The purpose of reCAPTCHA is to verify whether data entry on our website (e.g. in a contact form) is made by a human or by an automated program. For this purpose, reCAPTCHA analyzes the behavior of the website visitor based on various characteristics. This analysis starts automatically as soon as the website visitor enters the website. For the analysis, reCAPTCHA evaluates various information (e.g. IP address, time spent by the website visitor on the website or mouse movements made by the user). The data collected during the analysis is forwarded to Google.
The reCAPTCHA analyses run entirely in the background. Website visitors are not made aware that an analysis is taking place.
The data processing is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO. The website operator has a legitimate interest in protecting its web offers from abusive automated spying and from SPAM.
For more information on Google reCAPTCHA and Google’s privacy policy, please refer to the following links: https://www.google.com/intl/de/policies/privacy/ and https://www.google.com/recaptcha/intro/android.html.
Google Analytics:
We use Google Analytics for our own websites and, in some cases, for websites of our users. Google Analytics is a web analytics service provided by Google, Inc. (“Google”). In this context, cookies are also stored on the end device of the visitor or Jimdo user, which enable an analysis of the use of the Website. The information generated by the cookie is transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. We use the option of IP anonymization, so that the IP address is generally shortened by Google within member states of the European Union and in other contracting states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area before being transmitted to the USA. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. Google will use this information on our behalf for the purpose of evaluating your use of the website, compiling reports on website activity for website operators and providing other services relating to website activity and internet usage. The IP address transmitted by the browser as part of Google Analytics is not merged with other data from Google. The setting of cookies can be prevented by a corresponding setting in the browser; however, we would like to point out that in this case not all functions of this website can be used to their full extent. The collection and storage of the IP address and the data generated by cookies can be objected to at any time with effect for the future. The corresponding plugin for the browser can be found here: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
You can prevent the collection by Google Analytics by clicking on the following link. An opt-out cookie will be set, which prevents the future collection of your data when visiting this website.
Additional information about how Google handles personal data in its advertising network can be found here: Advertising and Privacy.
Google Tag Manager
Furthermore, we use the Google Tag Manager. Google Tag Manager is a solution that allows marketers to manage website tags through one interface. The Tag Manager tool itself (which implements the tags) is a cookie-less domain and does not collect any personal data. The tool takes care of triggering other tags, which in turn may collect data. Google Tag Manager does not access this data. If a disablement has been made at the domain or cookie level, it will remain in place for all tracking tags implemented with Google Tag Manager.
We may ask our customers for permission to share some product data (e.g., account information) with other Google products to enable certain features, such as making it easier to add new conversion tracking tags for AdWords. In addition, our developers review product usage information from time to time to further optimize the product. However, we will never share data of this nature with other Google products without the user’s consent.
For more information, please see the usage policy for this product.
Facebook:
Our website uses social plugins (“Plugins”) of the social network facebook.com, which is operated by Facebook Inc (“Facebook”). The plugins are marked with a Facebook logo or the addition “Facebook Social Plugin”.
When our website becomes, the browser establishes a direct connection with the servers of Facebook. The content of the plugin is transmitted by Facebook directly to the browser, which then integrates it into the website. By integrating the plugins, Facebook receives the information that the corresponding page of our website has been accessed by the respective visitor or Jimdo user. If there is an own Facebook profile, Facebook can assign the visit to the Facebook account of the visitor or Jimdo user by storing cookies and using JavaScript. If the plugins are interacted with, for example, the “Like” button is pressed or a comment is made, the corresponding information is transmitted directly from the browser to Facebook and stored there. This can be prevented with suitable browser plugins; in that case, the Facebook social plugins may no longer function as a result.
The purpose and scope of the data collection and the further processing and use of the data by Facebook, as well as your rights in this regard and setting options for protecting your privacy, can be found in Facebook’s privacy policy.

In exercising this right, you also have the right to obtain that the personal data concerning you be transferred directly from one controller to another controller, insofar as this is technically feasible. Freedoms and rights of other persons must not be affected by this.
The right to data portability does not apply to processing of personal data necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller.

9. Automated decision in individual cases including profiling
You have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing – including profiling – which produces legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affects you. This does not apply if the decision
(1) is necessary for the conclusion or performance of a contract between you and the controller,
(2) is permitted by legal provisions of the Union or the Member States to which the controller is subject and these legal provisions contain appropriate measures to protect your rights and freedoms as well as your legitimate interests; or
(3) is made with your express consent.
However, these decisions may not be based on special categories of personal data pursuant to Article 9(1) of the GDPR, unless Article 9(2)(a) or (g) applies and appropriate measures have been taken to protect the rights and freedoms as well as your legitimate interests.
With regard to the cases referred to in (1) and (3), the controller shall take reasonable steps to safeguard the rights and freedoms as well as your legitimate interests, including at least the right to obtain the intervention of a person on the part of the controller, to express his or her point of view and to contest the decision.
