Insofar as other cookies (e.g., cookies to analyze your surfing behavior) are stored, they are treated separately in this privacy policy.

►   Newsletter Data

If you would like to receive the newsletter offered on the website, we need an email address from you and information that allows us to verify that you are the owner of the provided email address and agree to receive the newsletter.

The processing of the data entered into the newsletter subscription form is based solely on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR). You can revoke your consent to the storage of the data, the email address, and its use for sending the newsletter at any time, for example, via the "unsubscribe" link in the newsletter.

After you unsubscribe from the newsletter distribution list, your email address may be stored in a blacklist with us or the newsletter service provider to prevent future mailings.

7. Plugins and Tools

►   YouTube with Enhanced Privacy

This website embeds videos from YouTube. The operator of the pages is Google Ireland Limited ("Google"), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

We use YouTube in enhanced privacy mode. According to YouTube, this mode ensures that YouTube does not store any information about visitors to this website before they watch the video. However, data may still be transferred to YouTube partners through the enhanced privacy mode. This means that YouTube establishes a connection to the Google DoubleClick network regardless of whether you watch a video.

As soon as you start a YouTube video on this website, a connection to YouTube's servers is established. In doing so, the YouTube server is informed which of our pages you have visited. If you are logged into your YouTube account, you enable YouTube to directly associate your surfing behavior with your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account.

Furthermore, after starting a video, YouTube may store various cookies on your end device. With the help of these cookies, YouTube can obtain information about visitors to this website. This information is used, among other things, to collect video statistics, improve user-friendliness, and prevent fraud attempts. The cookies remain on your end device until you delete them.

If necessary, further data processing operations may be triggered after the start of a YouTube video, over which we have no control.

The use of YouTube is in the interest of an appealing presentation of our online offerings. This represents a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. Insofar as corresponding consent has been requested (e.g., consent to the storage of cookies), processing is carried out exclusively based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR; consent can be revoked at any time.

Further information on data protection at YouTube can be found in their privacy policy at: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en.

►   Vimeo

This website uses plugins from the Vimeo video portal. The provider is Vimeo Inc., 555 West 18th Street, New York, New York 10011, USA.

When you visit one of our pages equipped with a Vimeo plugin, a connection to Vimeo's servers is established. The Vimeo server is informed which of our pages you have visited. Vimeo also obtains your IP address. This applies even if you are not logged into Vimeo or do not have an account with Vimeo. The information collected by Vimeo is transmitted to Vimeo's server in the USA. If you are logged into your Vimeo account, you enable Vimeo to associate your surfing behavior directly with your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out of your Vimeo account. The use of Vimeo is in the interest of an appealing presentation of our online offerings. This represents a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. Insofar as corresponding consent has been requested (e.g., consent to the storage of cookies), processing is carried out exclusively based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR; consent can be revoked at any time.

Further information on the handling of user data can be found in Vimeo's privacy policy at: https://vimeo.com/privacy.

►   Google Maps (with Consent)

This website uses the Google Maps map service via an API. The provider is Google Ireland Limited ("Google"), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

To ensure data protection on this website, Google Maps is deactivated when you first visit this website. A direct connection to Google's servers is only established if you activate Google Maps yourself (consent according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR). This prevents your data from being transmitted to Google as soon as you enter the page. After activation, Google Maps will store your IP address. This is then usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. The provider of this site has no influence on this data transmission after the activation of Google Maps. 
Further information on the handling of user data can be found in Google's privacy policy: https://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy/.

When you make a purchase from us, your payment data (e.g. name, payment amount, bank account details, credit card number) are processed by the payment service provider for the purpose of payment processing. For these transactions, the respective contractual and data protection provisions of the respective providers apply. The use of the payment service providers is based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (contract processing) and in the interest of a smooth, convenient, and secure payment transaction (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). Insofar as your consent is requested for certain actions, Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR is the legal basis for data processing; consent may be revoked at any time for the future.
