GDPR) the services of Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheater Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA, ("Google").

We use the online marketing method Google "AdWords" to place ads in the Google advertising network (e.g. in search results, in videos, on websites, etc.), so that they can be shown to users who have a presumed interest in the ads. This allows us to better target ads for and within our online offerings to only present users with ads that may match their interests. For example, when a user is shown advertisements for products they have been interested in on other online offerings, this is referred to as "remarketing". For these purposes, when our website and other websites on which the Google advertising network is active are accessed, a code is executed directly by Google and so-called (re)marketing tags (invisible graphics or codes, also known as "web beacons") are placed in integrated into the website. With their help, an individual cookie, i.e. a small file, is stored on the user's device (comparable technologies can also be used instead of cookies).

User data is processed pseudonymously within the Google advertising network. This means that Google does not store and process, for example, the name or e-mail address of the user, but processes the corresponding data in relation to cookies within pseudonymous user profiles. This means that from Google's point of view, the ads are not managed and displayed for a specifically identified person, but for the cookie owner, regardless of who this cookie owner is. This does not apply if a user has expressly allowed Google to process the data without this pseudonymization. The information collected about users is transmitted to Google and stored on Google's servers in the USA.
For more information on how Google uses data, settings and opt-out options, see Google's privacy policy (https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads) and settings for Google's display of advertising (https:// adssettings.google.com/authenticated).

We would like to point out that user data can be processed outside the European Union. This can result in risks for the user, since e.g. the enforcement of user rights can be made more difficult. With regard to US providers who are certified under the Privacy Shield, we would like to point out that they undertake to comply with the data protection standards of the EU.
In addition, user data is usually processed for market research and advertising purposes. For example, usage profiles can be created from usage behavior and the resulting interests of users. The usage profiles can in turn be used, for example, to place advertising inside and outside the platforms that presumably corresponds to the interests of the user. For these purposes, cookies are usually stored on the users' computers, in which the usage behavior and the interests of the users are stored. In addition, data can also be stored device-independently in the usage profiles of the users (especially if the users are members of the respective platforms and are logged in there).
The processing of the personal data of the users takes place on the basis of our legitimate interests in effective information of the users and communication with the users in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f. GDPR.

For a detailed description of the respective processing and the opt-out options, we refer to the information from the providers linked below.
Also in the case of requests for information and the assertion of user rights, we would like to point out that these can be asserted most effectively with the providers. Only the providers have access to the data of the users and can take appropriate measures and provide information directly. If you still need help, you can contact us.

The "pixel tags" can be used to evaluate information such as visitor traffic on the pages of this website.

Facebook is certified under the Privacy Shield Agreement and thus offers a guarantee of compliance with European data protection law (https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt0000000GnywAAC&status=Active).
If a user calls up a function of this online offer that contains such a plugin, his device establishes a direct connection with the Facebook servers. The content of the plugin is transmitted directly from Facebook to the user's device, which integrates it into the online offer. User profiles can be created from the processed data.

This allows us to better target ads for and within our online offerings to only present users with ads that may match their interests. For example, when a user is shown advertisements for products they have been interested in on other online offerings, this is referred to as "remarketing".

With regard to US providers who are certified under the Privacy Shield, we would like to point out that they undertake to comply with the data protection standards of the EU.
