Social Plugins

Social media plugins are used on our websites. These plugins may be used to send information, which may include personal data, to the service provider and may be used by the service provider. We prevent the unconscious and unintentional collection and transmission of data to the service provider through a 2-click solution. To activate a desired social plugin, it must first be activated by clicking on the corresponding button. Only when the plugin is activated is the collection of information and its transmission to the service provider triggered. We ourselves do not collect any personal data via the social plugins or their use.

We have no influence on what data an activated plugin collects and how it is used by the provider. Currently, it must be assumed that a direct connection to the provider’s services will be established and that at least the IP address and device-related information will be collected and used. It is also possible that the service providers try to store cookies on the computer used. Which concrete data is collected and how it is used can be found in the data protection information of the respective service provider. If you are logged into Facebook at the same time, Facebook can identify you as a visitor to a particular page.

Chatbots and chat features

We offer online chats and chatbot functions (collectively, “chat services”) as a means of communication. A chat is an online conversation that is running in a timely way. A chatbot is software that answers users’ questions or informs them about messages. If you use our chat features, we may process your personal data.

If you use our chat services within an online platform, your identification number will also be stored within the respective platform. We may also collect information about which users interact with our chat services and when. We also store the content of your conversations via the chat services and log registration and consent procedures in order to be able to prove them in accordance with legal requirements.

We would like to point out to users that the respective platform provider can incertain that and when users communicate with our chat services as well as to collect technical information about the device used by the user and, depending on the settings of their device, location information (so-called metadata) for the purpose of optimizing the respective services and purposes of security. Also, the metadata of the communication via chat services (i.e. the information, who has communicated with whom) could be used by the respective platform providers according to their provisions, to which we refer for further information, for marketing purposes or for displaying advertisements tailored to users.

If users agree to activate information with regular messages to a chatbot, they may at any time unsubscribe from the information for the future. The chatbot tells users how and with which terms they can unsubscribe from messages. When the chatbot messages are unsubscribed, users’ data is deleted from the directory of message recipients.

We use the aforementioned information to operate our chat services, e.g. to contact users in person, to respond to their requests, to transmit any requested content and also to improve our chat services (e.g. to “teach” chatbots answers to frequently asked questions or to recognize unanswered requests).

Notes on legal bases: We use the chat services on the basis of consent if we have previously obtained permission from users to process their data as part of our chat services (this applies to cases where users are asked for consent, e.g. for a chatbot to send them regular messages). If we use chat services to answer user inquiries about our services or our company, this is done for contractual and pre-contractual communication. In addition, we use chat services based on our legitimate interests in optimizing chat services, their business efficiency and increasing the positive user experience.

Revocation, opposition and deletion: You can revoke your consent at any time or object to the processing of your data within the framework of our chat services.

  • Types of data processed: Contact data (e.g. e-mail, telephone numbers), content data (e.g. text input, photographs, videos), usage data (e.g. websites visited, interest in content, access times), meta/communication data (e.g. device information, IP addresses).

Google AdWords

Our website uses Google Conversion Tracking. The operating company of the Google AdWords services is Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.

The conversion tracking cookie is set when a user clicks on an ad served by Google.

If the user visits certain pages of our website and the cookie has not expired, we and Google can recognize that the user clicked on the ad and was directed to that page. Every Google AdWords customer receives a different cookie. Cookies can therefore not be tracked via the websites of AdWords customers. The information collected using the conversion cookie is used to generate conversion statistics for AdWords customers who have opted for conversion tracking. Customers learn the total number of users who have clicked on their ad and been redirected to a page with a conversion tracking tag.
