Regardless of the above, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of your personal data for advertising and data analysis purposes.
Please address your objection to the contact address of the responsible party above.
When do we delete your data?
We will delete your data when we no longer need it or when you instruct us to do so. This means that – unless otherwise specified in the individual privacy notices of this privacy policy – we will delete your data:
- when the purpose of the data processing no longer applies and the respective legal basis for processing no longer exists, for example,
- after the termination of the contractual or membership relationship between us (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR) or
- after the termination of our legitimate interest in the further processing or storage of your data (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR),
- when you exercise your right of withdrawal and no other legal basis for processing under Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b-f GDPR applies,
- when you exercise your right to object and there are no overriding legitimate reasons preventing deletion.
However, if we need to retain certain parts of your data for other purposes, such as tax retention periods (usually 6 years for business correspondence or 10 years for accounting records) or to assert, exercise, or defend legal claims from contractual relationships (up to four years), or the data is needed to protect the rights of another natural or legal person, we will delete the relevant part of your data only after these periods have expired. Until then, we will limit the processing of this data to these purposes (fulfilling retention obligations).

Online Advertising
We use services to display online advertisements. Through the services we use, certain user data is collected via cookies or pixels. This includes information about which website you came from (so-called referrers), which pages of our website you accessed, how long you visited our pages, and what interactions you performed there. Additionally, data about the browser you use, computer system, and device type are collected. Demographic information such as age or gender may also be collected in pseudonymous form. If you have consented to the collection of your location data, depending on the provider, this may also be processed. To collect and store this data, the respective service places a cookie or a so-called counting pixel on the device you use, which also collects the IP address assigned to you. However, this is shortened through an IP-masking procedure, so that the IP address can no longer be linked to your visit to our website. In principle, no clear data such as names or email addresses are stored when using the respective service. This only happens if you are a member of a social network that offers one of the services mentioned below and your profile is linked with the aforementioned data.
The data is analyzed by the service provider we use to generate a report with statistical statements about the number of visitors generated through advertising and the success of the advertising measure. The reports show, among other things, the total number of users who were redirected to our website through our ads. The reports also contain information about the devices and browsers used by the users, the locations of the users, and the times at which the ad was clicked. However, the reports do not contain any information that would allow you to be personally identified as a user of our site.
We would like to point out that depending on the location of the service provider, the data collected through the service may be transferred and processed outside the European Union. In this case, there is a risk that the data protection level required by the GDPR may not be maintained and the enforcement of your rights may not be possible or only difficult.
Affected Data:
