Privacy Policy
Since we reserve the right to adapt this data protection declaration, for example in the event of further development of our online offer or in the event of changes to the legal basis or jurisdiction, we recommend that you read this declaration repeatedly on occasion.
1. Definitions

In this respect, we refer to the definition in Art. 4 DSGVO. Since our data protection declaration should be easy to read and understand for the public as well as for our customers and business partners, we would like to additionally explain the terms used in advance as follows.
We use the following terms, among others, in this privacy policy:
a) Personal Data
Personal data is any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (hereinafter “data subject”).

d) Restriction of Processing
Restriction of processing is the marking of stored personal data with the aim of limiting their future processing.
e) 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 separate and is subject to technical and organizational measures to ensure that the personal data is not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.
f) Person Responsible or in Charge of the Processing
The controller or controller is 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.

4. Data Protection Officer / Data Protection Issues
We have appointed a data protection officer for our company. If you have any questions regarding the data protection of our company and/or our online offer, you can contact our data protection officer in addition to the responsible provider, you can reach him at:
5. Security and Storage Duration
We take extensive organizational, contractual and technical security measures in accordance with the state of the art to ensure that the data protection regulations are complied with and that the data processed by us is protected against accidental or intentional manipulation, loss, destruction or against access by unauthorized persons Our security measures are regularly reviewed. Nevertheless, Internet-based data transmissions can generally have security gaps, so that absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, you are free to transmit personal data to us by alternative means, such as by telephone.
For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as requests that you send to us as the site operator, this site uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock symbol in your browser line. If SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.
Unless a more specific storage period has been specified within this data protection declaration, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for the data processing no longer applies. If you assert a legitimate request for deletion or revoke consent for data processing, your data will be deleted unless we have other legally permissible reasons for storing your personal data (e.g. legal retention periods). After these reasons have ceased to exist, the data will be deleted.
6. External Hosting
Our website is hosted by an external service provider (hoster). The personal data collected on this website is stored on the hoster’s servers. This may include, but is not limited to, IP addresses, contact requests, meta and communication data, contractual data, contact data, names, website accesses and other data generated via a website.
The hoster is used for the purpose of fulfilling contracts with our potential and existing customers (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b DSGVO) and in the interest of a secure, fast and efficient provision of our online offer by a professional provider (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO).
Our hoster will only process your data to the extent necessary to fulfill its service obligations and follow our instructions regarding this data.
We use the following hoster:
Vautron Rechenzentrum AG
Obermünsterstr. 9
93047 Regensburg
Tel.: 0941/ 5990-0
Mail: info@vautron.de
In order to ensure data protection-compliant processing, we have concluded an order processing contract with our hoster.
The collection of data for the provision and use of the website and the processing of data via external web hosts is absolutely necessary for the operation of the website. You are entitled to object to the processing of this data at any time, on grounds relating to your particular situation. For further information about your right to object, please refer to section 8. e) of this privacy policy.
7. Data Transfer to Third Countries
We retain control over and take responsibility for the use of the personal data you submit to us. However, among other things, tools from companies based in the USA or other third countries that are not secure under data protection law are integrated on our website. If these tools are active, for which we usually obtain your consent, your personal data may be transferred to these third countries and processed there. The data protection laws of these third countries differ from those of your country of residence. We therefore point out that in third countries no level of data protection comparable to that in the EU can be guaranteed. In the case of a possible data transfer to a third country, we ensure that the company entrusted with the data processing has taken appropriate steps to protect your personal data in accordance with the regulations applicable in your country of residence. In any event, we typically use standard contractual clauses, which are one of several mechanisms approved by the European Commission to ensure adequate protection for personal data transferred from the EU to countries that the European Commission does not consider to provide adequate protection for personal data. Standard contractual clauses include obligations for data controllers who wish to transfer personal data to countries outside the EU/EEA, as well as data controllers or data processors who receive that data. The clauses also regulate other matters relating to the transfer, for example, the rights of the data subject and how disputes arising from the contract will be resolved. For data transfers to certain countries, standard contractual clauses may also be insufficient. In these cases, we agree on additional technical and organizational measures and safeguards.
8. Your Rights
You have the following rights with respect to personal data concerning you, which you may exercise against us:
a) Right of Access (Art. 15 GDPR)
Within the scope of the legal provisions, you have the right at any time to free of charge
information about your stored personal data, their origin and recipient and the purpose of data processing.
b) Right of Rectification (Art. 16 GDPR)
If incorrect data has been processed by us, you have the right to request the correction of this data. Taking into account the purpose of the data processing, you may also request the completion of your data if it has been collected incompletely.
c) Right to Erasure (Art. 17 DSGVO)
You also have the right to request the deletion of your data if one of the reasons listed in Art. 17 DSGVO applies.
d) Right to Restriction of Processing (Art. 18 DSGVO)
You also have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. This right exists in the following cases:
- If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we will of course need time to check this. For the duration of this examination, you can request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
- If the processing of your personal data is unlawful, you may request the restriction of data processing instead of deletion.
- If we no longer need your personal data, but this data is necessary for you to exercise, defend or assert legal claims, you have the right to request restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of deletion.
- If you have lodged an objection pursuant to Art. 21 (1) DSGVO, a balancing process must be carried out between your interests and ours. As long as the result of this balancing process has not yet been determined, you can request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
If the processing of your data has been restricted, we may process these data – apart from their storage – only with your consent or for the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of an important public interest of the Union or a Member State.
e) Right to Object to Processing in Specific Cases and to Direct Marketing (Art. 21 GDPR)
If the data processing is based on Art. 6 (1) (e) or (f) DSGVO, you may object to the processing of your data at any time on grounds relating to your particular situation. We will then not further process your data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that override your interests, rights and freedoms, or if the processing serves the assertion and exercise of, or defense against, legal claims (Art. 21 (1) DSGVO). In the event of your justified objection, we will examine the merits of the case and either discontinue or adapt the data processing or show you our compelling legitimate grounds on the basis of which we will continue the processing. You can send your objection to the “responsible provider” named in this privacy policy or to our data protection officer who is also named.
If your personal data is processed for the purpose of direct marketing, you have the right to object at any time to processing of personal data concerning you for the purpose of such marketing; this also applies to profiling insofar as it is related to such direct marketing. If you object, your personal data will subsequently no longer be used for the purpose of direct marketing (objection pursuant to Art. 21 (2) DSGVO).
f) Right to Withdraw your Consent (Art. 7 (3) DSGVO)
Some data processing operations require your express consent. You can revoke an already given consent at any time without giving reasons. However, the legality of the data processing carried out until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.
g) Right to Data Portability as well as the Right to have the Data Transferred to Another Controller (Art. 20 DSGVO)
You may request that we hand over data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfillment of a contract to yourself or to a third party in a common, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only be done insofar as it is technically feasible.
You can assert your rights by notifying the “responsible provider” named in this privacy policy or our data protection officer, who is also named.
Finally, you have the right to lodge a complaint about our processing of your personal data with a data protection supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of your habitual residence, your place of work or the place of the alleged infringement (Article 77 DSGVO). The right of complaint is without prejudice to other administrative or judicial remedies.

11. Statistical Analysis, Advertising
For statistical analysis of visits to our website and for advertising purposes, we use the following third-party services:
a) Google Analytics
On our website, we use the web tracking service of the company Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (hereinafter: Google Analytics). Within the scope of web tracking, Google-Analytics uses cookies that are stored on your computer and enable an analysis of the use of our website and your surfing behavior (so-called tracking). We carry out this analysis based on the tracking service of Google Analytics in order to constantly optimize our website and make it more available. In the course of using our website, data, such as in particular your IP address and your user activities, are transmitted to servers of the company Google Ireland Limited.
We have activated the IP anonymization function on this website. This means that your IP address is shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of 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.
On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of the website, compiling reports on website activity and providing other services relating to website activity and internet usage to the website operator. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other data from Google.
We perform this analysis based on Google’s tracking service in order to optimize our website and make it more available. Likewise, web tracking is carried out for security reasons. Web tracking allows us to track whether third parties are attacking our website. The information from the web tracker enables us to take effective countermeasures and protect the personal data processed by us from these cyber attacks.
The legal basis for the data processing is, according to Art. 6 (1) (a) DSGVO, your consent in our information banner regarding the use of cookies and web tracking.
Google will store the data relevant for the provision of web tracking for as long as it is necessary to fulfill the booked web service. The data collection and storage is anonymized. If there is a reference to a person, the data will be deleted immediately, provided that it is not subject to any legal obligations to retain data. In any case, the data will be deleted after expiration of the retention period.
You can prevent the collection and forwarding of personal data to Google (in particular your IP address) as well as the processing of this data by Google by deactivating the execution of script code in your browser or activating the “Do Not Track” setting of your browser. You can also prevent the collection of data generated by the Google cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) to Google and the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available at the following link (http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de). Google’s security and privacy policy can be found at https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de.
b) Google Ads (formerly Google Adwords)
On our website, we use “Google Ads” (formerly Google AdWords), a service of Google Ireland Limited, Google Building Gordon House, Barrow St, Dublin 4, Ireland (hereinafter referred to as “Google”). Google Ads enables us to draw attention to our attractive offers with the help of advertising media on external websites. This enables us to determine how successful individual advertising measures are. These advertising media are delivered by Google via so-called “AdServers”. For this purpose, we use so-called AdServer cookies, which can be used to measure certain parameters for measuring success, such as display of the ads or clicks by users. If you access our website via a Google ad, Google Ads will store a cookie on your end device. These cookies usually lose their validity after 30 days. They are not intended to identify you personally. The following information is usually stored as analysis values for this cookie: unique cookie ID, number of ad impressions per placement (frequency), last impression (relevant for post-view conversions), opt-out information (marking that the user no longer wishes to be addressed).
These cookies allow Google to recognize your web browser. If a user visits certain pages of an Ads customer’s website and the cookie stored on their computer has not yet expired, Google and the customer can recognize that the user clicked on the ad and was redirected to that page. A different cookie is assigned to each Ads customer. Cookies can therefore not be tracked across Ads customers’ websites. We ourselves do not collect and process any personal data in the aforementioned advertising measures. We only receive statistical evaluations from Google. Based on these evaluations, we can see which of the advertising measures used are particularly effective. We do not receive any further data from the use of the advertising tools; in particular, we cannot identify users on the basis of this information. Due to the marketing tools used, your browser automatically establishes a direct connection with Google’s server. We have no influence on the scope and further use of the data collected by Google through the use of Google Ads. According to our knowledge, Google receives the information that you have called up the relevant part of our website or clicked on an ad from us. If you have a user account with Google and are registered, Google can assign the visit to your user account. Even if you are not registered with Google or have not logged in, there is a possibility that Google learns your IP address and stores it.
We use Google Ads for marketing and optimization purposes, in particular to serve relevant and interesting ads to you, to improve campaign performance reports and to achieve a fair calculation of advertising costs. The legal basis for the data processing is, according to Art. 6 (1) (a) DSGVO, your consent in our information banner regarding the use of cookies and web tracking.
You can prevent the installation of cookies by deleting existing cookies and deactivating a storage of cookies in the settings of your web browser. We would like to point out that in this case you may not be able to use all functions of our website to their full extent. It is also possible to prevent the storage of cookies by setting your web browser to block cookies from the domain “www.googleadservices.com” (https://www.google.de/settings/ads). We would like to point out that this setting will be deleted when you delete your cookies. In addition, you can deactivate interest-based ads via the link http://optout.aboutads.info. We would like to point out that this setting will also be deleted when you delete your cookies.
c) Google Tag Manager
We use “Google Tag Manager” on our website, a service of Google Ireland Limited, Google Building Gordon House, Barrow St, Dublin 4, Ireland (hereinafter referred to as “Google”). Google Tag Manager enables us as marketers to manage website tags via an interface. The Google Tag Manager tool that implements the tags is a cookie-less domain and does not itself collect any personal data. Google Tag Manager takes care of triggering other tags, which in turn may collect data. Google Tag Manager does not access this data. If a deactivation has been made at the domain or cookie level, this remains in place for all tracking tags implemented with Google Tag Manager.
12. Integration of Third Party Content, Links
On our website, we use active content from external providers, so-called web services. By calling up our website, these external providers may receive personal information about your visit to our website. This may also involve the processing of data outside the EU. You can prevent this by installing an appropriate browser plug-in or deactivating the execution of scripts in your browser. This may result in functional restrictions on Internet pages that you visit.
a) YouTube-Videos
On our website we use plug-ins we of the video platform YouTube. The operator of the pages is Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. By means of these plug-ins, we can integrate visual content (“videos”) that we have published on Youtube.de or Youtube.com on this website. We use YouTube in extended data protection mode. According to YouTube, this mode means that YouTube does not store any information about visitors to this website before they watch the video. However, the disclosure of data to YouTube partners is not necessarily excluded by the extended data protection mode. Thus, YouTube – regardless of whether you watch a video – establishes a connection to the Google DoubleClick network.
As soon as you start a YouTube video on our website, a connection to YouTube’s servers is established. This tells the YouTube server which of our pages you have visited. If you are logged into your YouTube account, you enable YouTube to assign your surfing behavior directly to your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account. Furthermore, YouTube can save various cookies on your end device after starting a video or use comparable recognition technologies (e.g. device fingerprinting). In this way, YouTube can obtain information about visitors to this website. This information is used, among other things, to collect video statistics, improve the user experience, and prevent fraud attempts. If necessary, further data processing operations may be triggered after the start of a YouTube video, over which we have no control.
YouTube is used in the interest of an appealing presentation of our online offers. This represents a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) lit. f DSGVO. If a corresponding consent was requested in our information banner, the processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO. Your consent can be revoked at any time.
For more information on the purpose and scope of processing by YouTube, please see the privacy policy at https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy.
b) Google Maps
On our website, we use the map service of the company Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (hereinafter: Google Maps). Google Maps is integrated on the website via the Google API to visualize location information and display it in the form of a map. To display the map, the processing of the IP address by Google Maps is technically necessary. With regard to the other web services integrated via Google Apis, the regulations in the respective section of this data protection declaration for Google Apis apply.
The use of Google Maps is in the interest of an appealing presentation of our online offers and an easy location of the places indicated by us on the website. This represents a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO. If a corresponding consent has been requested, the processing is based exclusively on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO. Your consent can be revoked at any time.
On our behalf, Google will use the information obtained by means of Google Maps to show you the map. By means of Google Maps, you will find us faster and more accurately than with a mere non-interactive map.
Google will store the data relevant for the function of Google Maps as long as it is necessary to fulfill the booked web service. The data collection and storage is anonymized. If there is a reference to a person, the data will be deleted immediately, as long as it is not subject to any legal storage obligations. In any case, the data will be deleted after expiration of the retention period.
Data transfer to the USA is based on the standard contractual clauses of the EU Commission. Details can be found here: https://privacy.google.com/businesses/gdprcontrollerterms/ and https://privacy.google.com/businesses/gdprcontrollerterms/sccs/.
You can prevent the collection and forwarding of personal data to Google (esp. your IP address) and the processing of this data by Google by deactivating the execution of script code in your browser, installing a script blocker in your browser or activating the “Do Not Track” setting of your browser. Google’s security and privacy policies can be found at https://policies.google.com/privacy.
