Privacy Policy Joergensencoaching

We are very pleased about your interest in our company. Data protection is of particularly high importance to the management of Joergensencoaching. The use of the Joergensencoaching website is generally possible without providing any personal data. However, if a person wishes to use special services of our company via our website, the processing of personal data may become necessary. If the processing of personal data is required and there is no legal basis for such processing, we generally obtain the consent of the person concerned.

The processing of personal data, such as the name, address, e-mail address, or telephone number of a person concerned, is always carried out in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation and in compliance with the country-specific data protection regulations applicable to Joergensencoaching. Through this privacy policy, our company would like to inform the public about the nature, scope, and purpose of the personal data we collect, use, and process. Furthermore, persons concerned are informed through this privacy policy about the rights to which they are entitled.

As the party responsible for processing, Joergensencoaching has implemented numerous technical and organizational measures to ensure the most comprehensive protection possible of the personal data processed via this website. Nevertheless, internet-based data transmissions can generally have security vulnerabilities, meaning that absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, every person concerned is free to transmit personal data to us via alternative means, for example by telephone.

1. Definitions

The privacy policy of Joergensencoaching is based on the terminology used by the European legislator when enacting the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Our privacy policy is intended to be easy to read and understand for both the public and our customers and business partners. To ensure this, we would like to explain the terminology used in advance

In this privacy policy we use, among others, the following terms:

a) Personal Data
Personal data is all information that relates to an identified or identifiable natural person (hereinafter referred to as ‘data subject’). An identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier, or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural, or social identity of that natural person.
b) Data Subject
A data subject is any identified or identifiable natural person whose personal data is processed by the party responsible for processing.
c) Processing
Processing is any operation or set of operations which is performed on personal data, whether or not by automated means, such as collection, recording, organization, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure, or destruction.
d) Restriction of Processing
Restriction of processing is the marking of stored personal data with the aim of limiting its future processing.
e) Profiling
Profiling is any form of automated processing of personal data consisting of the use of such personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to analyze or predict aspects concerning that natural person’s work performance, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behavior, location, or movements.
f) Pseudonymization
Pseudonymization is the processing of personal data in such a manner 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 separately and is subject to technical and organizational measures to ensure that the personal data is not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.
g) Controller or Party Responsible for Processing
The controller or party responsible for processing 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. Where the purposes and means of such processing are determined by Union law or the law of the Member States, the controller or the specific criteria for its nomination may be provided for by Union law or the law of the Member States.
h) Processor
A processor is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or other body which processes personal data on behalf of the controller.
i) Recipient
A recipient is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or other body to which personal data is disclosed, regardless of whether it is a third party or not. However, public authorities which may receive personal data in the framework of a particular inquiry in accordance with Union law or the law of the Member States shall not be regarded as recipients.
j) Third Party
A third party is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or body other than the data subject, controller, processor, and persons who, under the direct authority of the controller or processor, are authorized to process personal data.
k) Consent
Consent is any freely given, specific, informed, and unambiguous indication of the data subject’s wishes by which he or she, by a statement or by a clear affirmative action, signifies agreement to the processing of personal data relating to him or her.

2. Name and Address of the Party Responsible for Processing

The party responsible for processing within the meaning of the General Data Protection Regulation, other data protection laws applicable in the Member States of the European Union, and other provisions of a data protection nature is:

3. Cookies

The Joergensencoaching website uses cookies. Cookies are text files that are stored on a computer system via an internet browser.

Numerous websites and servers use cookies. Many cookies contain a so-called cookie ID. A cookie ID is a unique identifier of the cookie. It consists of a string of characters by which websites and servers can be assigned to the specific internet browser in which the cookie was stored. This enables the visited websites and servers to distinguish the individual browser of the data subject from other internet browsers that contain other cookies. A specific internet browser can be recognized and identified via the unique cookie ID.

Through the use of cookies, Joergensencoaching can provide the users of this website with more user-friendly services that would not be possible without the setting of cookies.

Through the use of a cookie, the information and offers on our website can be optimized in the interest of the user. As already mentioned, cookies enable us to recognize the users of our website. The purpose of this recognition is to make it easier for users to use our website. For example, the user of a website that uses cookies does not have to re-enter their access data every time they visit the website, because this is handled by the website and the cookie stored on the user’s computer system. Another example is the cookie of a shopping cart in an online shop. The online shop remembers the items that a customer has placed in the virtual shopping cart via a cookie.

The data subject can prevent the setting of cookies by our website at any time by means of a corresponding setting in the internet browser being used, and can thereby permanently object to the setting of cookies. Furthermore, cookies that have already been set can be deleted at any time via an internet browser or other software programs. This is possible in all common internet browsers. If the data subject deactivates the setting of cookies in the internet browser being used, it may not be possible to use all functions of our website to their full extent.

4. Collection of General Data and Information

The Joergensencoaching website collects a series of general data and information each time the website is accessed by a data subject or an automated system. This general data and information is stored in the server log files. The following may be collected: (1) the browser types and versions used, (2) the operating system used by the accessing system, (3) the website from which an accessing system reaches our website (so-called referrers), (4) the sub-pages which are accessed on our website via an accessing system, (5) the date and time of an access to the website, (6) an internet protocol address (IP address), (7) the internet service provider of the accessing system, and (8) other similar data and information that serve to avert danger in the event of attacks on our information technology systems.

When using this general data and information, Joergensencoaching does not draw any conclusions about the data subject. Rather, this information is needed to (1) deliver the contents of our website correctly, (2) optimize the contents of our website and the advertising for it, (3) ensure the permanent functionality of our information technology systems and the technology of our website, and (4) to provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for prosecution in the event of a cyber attack. The anonymously collected data and information is therefore evaluated by Joergensencoaching on the one hand statistically, and furthermore with the aim of increasing data protection and data security in our company, in order to ultimately ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data processed by us. The anonymous data of the server log files are stored separately from all personal data provided by a data subject.

5. Registration on Our Website

The data subject has the option of registering on the website of the party responsible for processing by providing personal data. Which personal data is transmitted to the party responsible for processing in this context is determined by the respective input form used for registration. The personal data entered by the data subject is collected and stored exclusively for internal use by the party responsible for processing and for their own purposes. The party responsible for processing may arrange for the transfer of the data to one or more processors, for example a parcel service provider, who also uses the personal data exclusively for internal use attributable to the party responsible for processing.

By registering on the website of the party responsible for processing, the IP address assigned by the data subject’s internet service provider (ISP), as well as the date and time of registration, are also stored. The storage of this data takes place against the background that only in this way can the misuse of our services be prevented, and this data makes it possible, if necessary, to investigate crimes that have been committed. In this respect, the storage of this data is necessary to protect the party responsible for processing. This data is generally not passed on to third parties, unless there is a legal obligation to do so or the disclosure serves the purpose of criminal prosecution.

The registration of the data subject with the voluntary provision of personal data serves the party responsible for processing to offer the data subject content or services that, by their very nature, can only be offered to registered users. Registered persons are free to modify the personal data provided during registration at any time or to have it completely deleted from the data records of the party responsible for processing

The party responsible for processing will provide any data subject at any time upon request with information about which personal data is stored about that data subject. Furthermore, the party responsible for processing will correct or delete personal data at the request or indication of the data subject, provided that no statutory retention obligations stand in the way of doing so. All employees of the party responsible for processing are available to the data subject as contact persons in this regard.

6. Routine Deletion and Blocking of Personal Data

The party responsible for processing stores and processes personal data of the data subject only for the period necessary to achieve the purpose of storage, or insofar as this has been provided for by the European legislator or another legislator in laws or regulations to which the party responsible for processing is subject.

If the purpose of storage no longer applies or if a storage period prescribed by the European legislator or another competent legislator expires, the personal data is routinely blocked or deleted in accordance with legal requirements.

7. Rights of the Data Subject

a) Right to Confirmation
Every data subject has the right, granted by the European legislator, to obtain from the party responsible for processing confirmation as to whether personal data concerning them is being processed. If a data subject wishes to exercise this right of confirmation, they may contact an employee of the party responsible for processing at any time.
b) Right of Access
Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right, granted by the European legislator, to obtain at any time from the party responsible for processing free information about the personal data stored about them and a copy of this information.

Furthermore, the data subject has the right to obtain information as to whether personal data has been transferred to a third country or to an international organization. If this is the case, the data subject also has the right to obtain information about the appropriate safeguards in connection with the transfer.
If a data subject wishes to exercise this right of access, they may contact an employee of the party responsible for processing at any time.
c) Right to Rectification
Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right, granted by the European legislator, to request the immediate rectification of inaccurate personal data concerning them.

If a data subject wishes to exercise this right to rectification, they may contact an employee of the party responsible for processing at any time.
d) Right to Erasure (Right to be Forgotten)
Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right, granted by the European legislator, to request that the controller erase personal data concerning them without undue delay, provided one of the following grounds applies and insofar as the processing is not necessary:
The personal data was collected or otherwise processed for purposes for which it is no longer necessary.
The data subject withdraws consent on which the processing is based according to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR or Art. 9(2)(a) GDPR, and there is no other legal basis for the processing.
The data subject objects to the processing pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing, or the data subject objects to the processing pursuant to Art. 21(2) GDPR.
The personal data has been unlawfully processed.
The erasure of the personal data is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation under Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject.
The personal data has been collected in relation to the offer of information society services referred to in Art. 8(1) GDPR.
If one of the above grounds applies and a data subject wishes to request the erasure of personal data stored at Joergensencoaching, they may contact an employee of the party responsible for processing at any time. The employee of Joergensencoaching will ensure that the erasure request is complied with without undue delay.
Where the personal data has been made public by Joergensencoaching and our company, as controller, is obliged to erase the personal data pursuant to Art. 17(1) GDPR, Joergensencoaching shall take reasonable steps, including technical measures, having regard to available technology and the cost of implementation, to inform other controllers processing the published personal data that the data subject has requested erasure of all links to, or copies or replications of, such personal data, insofar as processing is not required. The employee of Joergensencoaching will arrange what is necessary on a case-by-case basis.
e) Right to Restriction of Processing
Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right, granted by the European legislator, to request from the controller the restriction of processing where one of the following conditions applies:
The accuracy of the personal data is contested by the data subject, for a period enabling the controller to verify the accuracy of the personal data.
The processing is unlawful, the data subject opposes the erasure of the personal data and requests the restriction of its use instead.
The controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of processing, but the data subject requires it for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.
The data subject has objected to processing pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR and it has not yet been determined whether the legitimate grounds of the controller override those of the data subject.
If one of the above conditions is met and a data subject wishes to request the restriction of personal data stored at Joergensencoaching, they may contact an employee of the party responsible for processing at any time. The employee of Joergensencoaching will arrange the restriction of processing.
f) Right to Data Portability
Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right, granted by the European legislator, to receive the personal data concerning them, which was provided by the data subject to a controller, in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format. They also have the right to transmit such data to another controller without hindrance from the controller to which the personal data has been provided, where the processing is based on consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR or Art. 9(2)(a) GDPR or on a contract pursuant to Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR, and the processing is carried out by automated means, provided that the processing is not necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller.
Furthermore, in exercising their right to data portability pursuant to Art. 20(1) GDPR, the data subject has the right to have personal data transmitted directly from one controller to another controller, where technically feasible and where doing so does not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others.
To assert the right to data portability, the data subject may contact an employee of Joergensencoaching at any time.
g) Right to Object
Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right, granted by the European legislator, to object at any time, on grounds relating to their particular situation, to the processing of personal data concerning them which is based on Art. 6(1)(e) or (f) GDPR. This also applies to profiling based on these provisions.
Joergensencoaching will no longer process the personal data in the event of an objection, unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override the interests, rights, and freedoms of the data subject, or the processing serves the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.
Where Joergensencoaching processes personal data for direct marketing purposes, the data subject has the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data for such marketing purposes. This also applies to profiling insofar as it is related to such direct marketing. If the data subject objects to Joergensencoaching processing for direct marketing purposes, Joergensencoaching will no longer process the personal data for these purposes.
In addition, the data subject has the right, on grounds relating to their particular situation, to object to the processing of personal data concerning them at Joergensencoaching for scientific or historical research purposes or for statistical purposes pursuant to Art. 89(1) GDPR, unless such processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest.
To exercise the right to object, the data subject may contact any employee of Joergensencoaching directly. The data subject is also free, in the context of the use of information society services, and notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC, to exercise their right to object by automated means using technical specifications.
h) Automated Individual Decision-Making, Including Profiling
Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right, granted by the European legislator, not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing — including profiling — which produces legal effects concerning them or similarly significantly affects them, provided that the decision (1) is not necessary for the conclusion or performance of a contract between the data subject and the controller, or (2) is permitted by Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject and which also lays down suitable measures to safeguard the data subject’s rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, or (3) is based on the data subject’s explicit consent. If the decision (1) is necessary for the conclusion or performance of a contract between the data subject and the controller, or (2) is based on the data subject’s explicit consent, Joergensencoaching shall implement suitable measures to safeguard the data subject’s rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, including at least the right to obtain human intervention on the part of the controller, to express their point of view, and to contest the decision.
If the data subject wishes to assert rights with regard to automated decisions, they may contact an employee of the party responsible for processing at any time.
i) Right to Withdraw Data Protection Consent
Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right, granted by the European legislator, to withdraw consent to the processing of personal data at any time.
If the data subject wishes to exercise their right to withdraw consent, they may contact an employee of the party responsible for processing at any time.

12. Privacy Policy for the Use and Application of Google AdSense

The party responsible for processing has integrated Google AdSense on this website. Google AdSense is an online service through which advertising on third-party sites is facilitated. Google AdSense is based on an algorithm that selects the advertisements displayed on third-party sites to match the content of the respective third-party site. Google AdSense allows interest-based targeting of internet users, which is implemented by generating individual user profiles

The operating company of the Google AdSense component is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland.

The purpose of the Google AdSense component is the integration of advertisements on our website. Google AdSense sets a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. What cookies are has already been explained above. The setting of the cookie enables Alphabet Inc. to analyze the use of our website. Each time one of the individual pages of this website, which is operated by the party responsible for processing and on which a Google AdSense component has been integrated, is accessed, the internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject is automatically prompted by the respective Google AdSense component to transmit data to Alphabet Inc. for the purposes of online advertising and the settlement of commissions. In the course of this technical process, Alphabet Inc. gains knowledge of personal data, such as the IP address of the data subject, which serves Alphabet Inc., among other things, to trace the origin of visitors and clicks and subsequently enable commission settlements.

As already described above, the data subject can prevent the setting of cookies by our website at any time by means of a corresponding setting in the internet browser being used, and can thereby permanently object to the setting of cookies. Such a setting of the internet browser being used would also prevent Alphabet Inc. from setting a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. Furthermore, a cookie already set by Alphabet Inc. can be deleted at any time via the internet browser or other software programs.

Google AdSense also uses so-called counting pixels. A counting pixel is a miniature graphic that is embedded in websites to enable log file recording and log file analysis, through which a statistical evaluation can be carried out. By means of the embedded counting pixel, Alphabet Inc. can recognize whether and when a website was opened by a data subject and which links were clicked by the data subject. Counting pixels serve, among other things, to evaluate the flow of visitors to a website.

Via Google AdSense, personal data and information, which also includes the IP address and is necessary for the collection and billing of the displayed advertisements, is transferred to Alphabet Inc. in the United States of America. This personal data is stored and processed in the United States of America. Alphabet Inc. may pass on this personal data collected through the technical process to third parties.

Google AdSense is explained in more detail under this link https://www.google.de/intl/de/adsense/start/ explained in more detail.

13. Privacy Policy for the Use and Application of Google Analytics (with Anonymization Function)

The party responsible for processing has integrated the Google Analytics component (with anonymization function) on this website. Google Analytics is a web analysis service. Web analysis is the collection, gathering, and evaluation of data about the behavior of visitors to websites. A web analysis service collects, among other things, data about which website a data subject came from to reach a website (so-called referrers), which sub-pages of the website were accessed, or how often and for how long a sub-page was viewed. Web analysis is primarily used to optimize a website and for cost-benefit analysis of internet advertising.

The operating company of the Google Analytics component is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland.

The party responsible for processing uses the addition “_gat._anonymizeIp” for web analysis via Google Analytics. By means of this addition, the IP address of the data subject’s internet connection is shortened and anonymized by Google when access to our website occurs from a Member State of the European Union or from another contracting state of the Agreement on the European Economic Area.

The purpose of the Google Analytics component is to analyze the flow of visitors to our website. Google uses the data and information obtained, among other things, to evaluate the use of our website, to compile online reports for us that show the activities on our website, and to provide further services related to the use of our website.

Google Analytics sets a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. What cookies are has already been explained above. By setting the cookie, Google is enabled to analyze the use of our website. Each time one of the individual pages of this website, which is operated by the party responsible for processing and on which a Google Analytics component has been integrated, is accessed, the internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject is automatically prompted by the respective Google Analytics component to transmit data to Google for the purpose of online analysis. In the course of this technical process, Google gains knowledge of personal data, such as the IP address of the data subject, which serves Google, among other things, to trace the origin of visitors and clicks and subsequently enable commission settlements.

By means of the cookie, personal information is stored, such as the access time, the location from which access was made, and the frequency of visits to our website by the data subject. With each visit to our website, this personal data, including the IP address of the internet connection used by the data subject, is transmitted to Google in the United States of America. This personal data is stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may pass on this personal data collected through the technical process to third parties.

As already described above, the data subject can prevent the setting of cookies by our website at any time by means of a corresponding setting in the internet browser being used, and can thereby permanently object to the setting of cookies. Such a setting of the internet browser being used would also prevent Google from setting a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. Furthermore, a cookie already set by Google Analytics can be deleted at any time via the internet browser or other software programs.

In addition, the data subject has the option of objecting to and preventing the collection of data generated by Google Analytics relating to the use of this website and the processing of such data by Google. To do this, the data subject must download and install a browser add-on under the link https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. This browser add-on informs Google Analytics via JavaScript that no data and information about visits to websites may be transmitted to Google Analytics. The installation of the browser add-on is regarded by Google as an objection. If the information technology system of the data subject is deleted, formatted, or reinstalled at a later point in time, the data subject must reinstall the browser add-on in order to deactivate Google Analytics. If the browser add-on is uninstalled or deactivated by the data subject or another person attributable to their sphere of influence, there is the possibility of reinstalling or reactivating the browser add-on.

Further information and the applicable privacy policy of Google can be retrieved at https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/ and at http://www.google.com/analytics/terms/de.html. Google Analytics is explained in more detail under this link https://www.google.com/intl/de_de/analytics/.

14. Privacy Policy for the Use and Application of Google Remarketing

he party responsible for processing has integrated Google Remarketing services on this website. Google Remarketing is a function of Google AdWords that enables a company to display advertising to internet users who have previously visited the company’s website. The integration of Google Remarketing therefore allows a company to create user-related advertising and consequently display interest-relevant advertisements to internet users.

The operating company of the Google Remarketing services is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland.

The purpose of Google Remarketing is the display of interest-relevant advertising. Google Remarketing enables us to display advertisements via the Google advertising network or to have them displayed on other websites, which are tailored to the individual needs and interests of internet users.

Google Remarketing sets a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. What cookies are has already been explained above. By setting the cookie, Google is enabled to recognize the visitor to our website when they subsequently access websites that are also members of the Google advertising network. With each visit to a website on which the Google Remarketing service has been integrated, the internet browser of the data subject automatically identifies itself to Google. In the course of this technical process, Google gains knowledge of personal data, such as the IP address or the browsing behavior of the user, which Google uses, among other things, to display interest-relevant advertising.

By means of the cookie, personal information is stored, such as the websites visited by the data subject. With each visit to our website, personal data, including the IP address of the internet connection used by the data subject, is therefore transmitted to Google in the United States of America. This personal data is stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may pass on this personal data collected through the technical process to third parties.

As already described above, the data subject can prevent the setting of cookies by our website at any time by means of a corresponding setting in the internet browser being used, and can thereby permanently object to the setting of cookies. Such a setting of the internet browser being used would also prevent Google from setting a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. Furthermore, a cookie already set by Google Analytics can be deleted at any time via the internet browser or other software programs.

Furthermore, the data subject has the option of objecting to interest-based advertising by Google. To do this, the data subject must access the link www.google.de/settings/ads from each of the internet browsers they use and make the desired settings there.

Further information and the applicable privacy policy of Google can be retrieved at https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/.”

15. Privacy Policy for the Use and Application of Google+

The party responsible for processing has integrated the Google+ button as a component on this website. Google+ is a so-called social network. A social network is a social meeting place operated on the internet, an online community that generally enables users to communicate with each other and interact in the virtual space. A social network can serve as a platform for the exchange of opinions and experiences or enables the internet community to provide personal or company-related information. Google+ enables users of the social network, among other things, to create private profiles, upload photos, and network via friend requests.

The operating company of Google+ is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland.

Each time one of the individual pages of this website, which is operated by the party responsible for processing and on which a Google+ button has been integrated, is accessed, the internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject is automatically prompted by the respective Google+ button to download a representation of the corresponding Google+ button from Google. In the course of this technical process, Google gains knowledge of which specific sub-page of our website is visited by the data subject. More detailed information about Google+ is available at https://developers.google.com/+/.

If the data subject is simultaneously logged into Google+, Google recognizes with each visit to our website by the data subject and throughout the entire duration of their stay on our website which specific sub-page of our website the data subject visits. This information is collected by the Google+ button and assigned by Google to the respective Google+ account of the data subject.

If the data subject clicks one of the Google+ buttons integrated on our website and thereby submits a Google+1 recommendation, Google assigns this information to the personal Google+ user account of the data subject and stores this personal data. Google stores the Google+1 recommendation of the data subject and makes it publicly available in accordance with the terms accepted by the data subject in this regard. A Google+1 recommendation submitted by the data subject on this website is subsequently stored and processed together with other personal data, such as the name of the Google+1 account used by the data subject and the photo stored therein, in other Google services, for example in the search engine results of the Google search engine, the Google account of the data subject, or in other places, for example on websites or in connection with advertisements. Furthermore, Google is able to link the visit to this website with other personal data stored at Google. Google also records this personal information for the purpose of improving or optimizing the various Google services.

Google always receives information via the Google+ button that the data subject has visited our website when the data subject is simultaneously logged into Google+ at the time of accessing our website; this takes place regardless of whether the data subject clicks the Google+ button or not.

If the data subject does not wish personal data to be transmitted to Google, they can prevent such transmission by logging out of their Google+ account before accessing our website.

Further information and the applicable privacy policy of Google can be retrieved at https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/. Further information from Google regarding the Google+1 button can be retrieved at https://developers.google.com/+/web/buttons-policy.

16. Privacy Policy for the Use and Application of Google AdWords

The party responsible for processing has integrated Google AdWords on this website. Google AdWords is an internet advertising service that allows advertisers to place ads both in Google’s search engine results and in the Google advertising network. Google AdWords enables an advertiser to pre-define certain keywords by means of which an advertisement appears in Google’s search engine results exclusively when the user retrieves a keyword-relevant search result using the search engine. In the Google advertising network, the advertisements are distributed on topic-relevant websites by means of an automatic algorithm and in accordance with the previously defined keywords.

The operating company of the Google AdWords services is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland.

The purpose of Google AdWords is to promote our website by displaying interest-relevant advertising on the websites of third-party companies and in the search engine results of the Google search engine, and to display third-party advertising on our website.

If a data subject reaches our website via a Google advertisement, a so-called conversion cookie is placed on the information technology system of the data subject by Google. What cookies are has already been explained above. A conversion cookie loses its validity after thirty days and is not used to identify the data subject. Via the conversion cookie, provided the cookie has not yet expired, it is tracked whether certain sub-pages, such as the shopping cart of an online shop system, were accessed on our website. Through the conversion cookie, both we and Google can track whether a data subject who reached our website via an AdWords advertisement generated revenue, that is, completed or abandoned a purchase.

The data and information collected through the use of the conversion cookie are used by Google to compile visit statistics for our website. These visit statistics are in turn used by us to determine the total number of users who were referred to us via AdWords advertisements, that is, to determine the success or failure of the respective AdWords advertisement and to optimize our AdWords advertisements for the future. Neither our company nor other Google AdWords advertisers receive information from Google by means of which the data subject could be identified.

By means of the conversion cookie, personal information is stored, such as the websites visited by the data subject. With each visit to our website, personal data, including the IP address of the internet connection used by the data subject, is therefore transmitted to Google in the United States of America. This personal data is stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may pass on this personal data collected through the technical process to third parties.

As already described above, the data subject can prevent the setting of cookies by our website at any time by means of a corresponding setting in the internet browser being used, and can thereby permanently object to the setting of cookies. Such a setting of the internet browser being used would also prevent Google from placing a conversion cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. Furthermore, a cookie already set by Google AdWords can be deleted at any time via the internet browser or other software programs.

Furthermore, the data subject has the option of objecting to interest-based advertising by Google. To do this, the data subject must access the link www.google.de/settings/ads from each of the internet browsers they use and make the desired settings there.

Payments are processed via so-called PayPal accounts, which represent virtual private or business accounts. PayPal also offers the option of processing virtual payments via credit card if a user does not hold a PayPal account.

The personal data exchanged between PayPal and the controller may be transmitted by PayPal to credit agencies. This transmission is intended for identity and creditworthiness checks.

PayPal may pass on personal data to affiliated companies and service providers or subcontractors, to the extent this is necessary for the fulfillment of contractual obligations or the data is to be processed on behalf of PayPal.

The data subject has the option to revoke consent to the handling of personal data at any time with respect to PayPal. A revocation does not affect personal data that must necessarily be processed, used, or transmitted for (contractual) payment processing.

Instant Transfer represents a technical process through which the online merchant receives immediate payment confirmation. This enables a merchant to deliver goods, services, or downloads to the customer immediately after the order is placed.

The operating company of Instant Transfer is Klarna Bank AB, Sveavägen 46, 111 34 Stockholm, Sweden.

If the data subject selects “Instant Transfer” as the payment option during the ordering process in our online shop, data of the data subject is automatically transmitted to Instant Transfer. By selecting this payment option, the data subject consents to the transmission of personal data required for payment processing.

When processing a purchase via Instant Transfer, the buyer transmits their PIN and TAN to Sofort GmbH. Instant Transfer then carries out a technical verification of the account balance and retrieves further data to check account coverage, after which a transfer is made to the online merchant. The execution of the financial transaction is then automatically communicated to the online merchant.

The personal data exchanged via Instant Transfer typically includes first name, last name, address, email address, IP address, phone number, mobile phone number, or other data necessary for payment processing. The purpose of the data transmission is payment processing and fraud prevention.

20. Legal Basis for Processing

Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR serves as the legal basis for our company for processing operations in which we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose. If the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, as is the case, for example, with processing operations that are necessary for the delivery of goods or the provision of any other service or consideration, the processing is based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR. The same applies to processing operations that are necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures, such as in cases of inquiries regarding our products or services. If our company is subject to a legal obligation that requires the processing of personal data, such as for the fulfillment of tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR. In rare cases, the processing of personal data may be necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor were to be injured on our premises and as a result their name, age, health insurance details, or other vital information had to be passed on to a doctor, hospital, or other third parties. In that case, the processing would be based on Art. 6(1)(d) GDPR.

Finally, processing operations may be based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. This legal basis covers processing operations that are not covered by any of the aforementioned legal bases, where processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by our company or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests, fundamental rights, and fundamental freedoms of the data subject. Such processing operations are permitted to us in particular because they were specifically mentioned by the European legislator. In this regard, the legislator took the view that a legitimate interest could be assumed where the data subject is a customer of the controller (Recital 47 Sentence 2 GDPR).

21. Legitimate Interests in the Processing Pursued by the Controller or a Third Party

Where the processing of personal data is based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR, our legitimate interest is the conduct of our business operations for the benefit of the well-being of all our employees and our shareholders.

22. Duration for Which the Personal Data is Stored

The criterion for determining the duration of storage of personal data is the respective statutory retention period. After the expiry of that period, the corresponding data is routinely deleted, provided it is no longer required for the performance or initiation of a contract.

23. Legal or Contractual Requirements for the Provision of Personal Data; Necessity for the Conclusion of a Contract; Obligation of the Data Subject to Provide Personal Data; Possible Consequences of Non-Provision

We inform you that the provision of personal data is partly required by law (e.g. tax regulations) or may also arise from contractual provisions (e.g. information on the contractual partner).

In some cases, it may be necessary for the conclusion of a contract that a data subject provides us with personal data that must subsequently be processed by us. For example, the data subject is obliged to provide us with personal data when our company concludes a contract with them. Failure to provide the personal data would result in the contract with the data subject not being able to be concluded.

Before providing personal data, the data subject must contact one of our employees. Our employee will inform the data subject on a case-by-case basis whether the provision of personal data is required by law or by contract, or is necessary for the conclusion of a contract, whether there is an obligation to provide the personal data, and what the consequences of failing to provide the personal data would be.

24. Existence of Automated Decision-Making

As a responsible company, we do not engage in automated decision-making or profiling.
