Privacy policy

We have written this data protection declaration (EU) 2016/679 in order to explain to you in accordance with the requirements of which information we collect, how we use data and which decision options you have as a visitor to this website. Unfortunately, it is in the nature of things that these explanations sound very technical, but we tried to describe the most important things as simply and clearly as possible. Automatic data storage When you visit websites these days, certain information is automatically created and saved, including on this website. If you visit our website as you are now, our web server (computer on which this website is stored) automatically stores data such as the address (URL) of the website accessed browser and browser version the operating system used the address (URL) of the previously visited page (referrer URL) the host name and the IP address of the device from which it is accessed date and time in files (Webserver-Logfiles). Usually web server log files are saved for two weeks and then automatically deleted. We do not pass on this data, but we cannot rule out that this data will be viewed in the event of illegal behavior.The legal basis according to Article 6 paragraph 1 f GDPR (lawfulness of processing) is that there is a legitimate interest in enabling the error-free operation of this website by recording web server log files. Cookies Our website uses HTTP cookies to store user-specific data.Below we explain what cookies are and why they are used so that you can better understand the following data protection declaration. What exactly are cookies? Whenever you surf the Internet, you use a browser. Well-known browsers include Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Internet Explorer and Microsoft Edge. Most websites store small text files in your browser. These files are called cookies. One thing cannot be denied: Cookies are really useful helpers. Almost all websites use cookies. More specifically, they are HTTP cookies because there are also other cookies for other areas of application. HTTP cookies are small files that our website stores on your computer. These cookie files are automatically placed in the cookie folder, the“brain” of your browser. A cookie consists of a name and a value. When defining a cookie, one or more attributes must also be specified. Cookies store certain user data about you, such as language or personal page settings. When you visit our site again, your browser transmits the "user-related" information back to our site. Thanks to cookies, our website knows who you are and offers you your usual standard setting. In some browsers, each cookie has its own file; in others, such as Firefox, all cookies are stored in a single file. There are both first-party cookies and third-party cookies. First-party cookies are created directly by our website, third-party cookies are created by partner websites (e.g. Google Analytics). Each cookie is to be assessed individually, since each cookie stores different data. The expiration time of a cookie also varies from a few minutes to a few years. Cookies are not software programs and do not contain viruses, Trojans or other “pests”. Cookies also cannot access information from your PC. For example, cookie data can look like this: Name: _ga Expiry time: 2 years Use: Differentiation of website visitors Exemplary value: GA1.2.1326744211.152311133 891 A browser should support the following minimum sizes: A cookie should contain at least 4096 bytes At least 50 cookies should be saved per domain A total of at least 3000 cookies should be saved What types of cookies are there? The question of which cookies we use in particular depends on the services used and is clarified in the following sections of the data protection declaration. At this point we would like to briefly discuss the different types of HTTP cookies. There are 4 types of cookies: Strictly necessary cookiesThese cookies are necessary to ensure basic functions of the website. For example, these cookies are required if a user places a product in the shopping cart, then surfs on other pages and only later checks out. These cookies do not delete the shopping cart, even if the user closes his browser window. Functional CookiesThese cookies collect information about user behavior and whether the user receives any error messages. These cookies are also used to measure the loading time and behavior of the website in different browsers. Targeted cookiesThese cookies make it easier to use. For example, entered locations, font sizes or form data are saved. Advertising cookiesThese cookies are also called targeting cookies. They serve to deliver customized advertising to the user. This can be very practical, but it can also be very annoying. Usually, when you visit a website for the first time, you will be asked which of these types of cookies you want to allow. And of course this decision is also saved in a cookie. How can I delete cookies? You decide how and whether you want to use cookies. Regardless of which service or website the cookies come from, you always have the option of deleting cookies, only partially allowing or disabling them. For example, you can block third-party cookies but allow all other cookies. If you want to determine which cookies have been saved in your browser, if you want to change or delete cookie settings, you can find this in your browser settings: Chrome: Delete, activate and manage cookies in Chrome Safari: Manage cookies and website data with Safari Firefox: Delete cookies to remove data that websites have stored on your computer Internet Explorer: Delete and manage cookies Microsoft Edge: Delete and manage cookies If you basically do not want cookies, you can set up your browser so that it always informs you when a cookie should be set. For each individual cookie, you can decide whether you want to allow the cookie or not. The procedure differs depending on the browser. It is best to search for the instructions in Google with the search term "Delete cookies Chrome" or “Deactivate cookies Chrome” in the case of a Chrome browser or exchange the word “Chrome” for the name of your browser, e.g. Edge, Firefox, Safari. What about my data protection? The so-called "Cookie Policy" has been in existence since 2009. This states that the storage of cookies requires the consent of the website visitor (i.e. you). However, there are still very different reactions to these guidelines within the EU countries. In Germany, the cookie guidelines were not implemented as national law. Instead, this directive was largely implemented in Section 15 (3) of the Telemedia Act (TMG). If you want to know more about cookies and do not shy away from technical documentation, we recommendhttps://tools.ietf.org/ht ml/rfc6265, the Request for Comments of the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) called “HTTP State Management Mechanism”. Storage of personal data Personal data that you transmit to us electronically on this website, such as name, email address, address or other personal information in the context of the transmission of a form or comments in the blog, will be collected by us together with the time and the IP address. Address used only for the specified purpose, kept safe and not passed on to third parties. We therefore only use your personal data for communication with those visitors who expressly request contact and for the processing of the services and products offered on this website. We will not pass on your personal data without consent, but we cannot rule out that this data will be viewed in the event of illegal behavior. If you send us personal data by email & # 8211; away from this website & # 8211; we cannot guarantee secure transmission and protection of your data. We recommend that you never send confidential data unencrypted by email. The legal basis according to Article 6 paragraph 1 a DSGVO(Lawfulness of processing) is, that you give us your consent to the processing of the data you have entered. You can revoke this consent at any time & # 8211; an informal email is sufficient, you will find our contact details in the imprint. Rights under the General Data Protection Regulation According to the provisions of the GDPR, you have the following basic rights: Right to rectification (Article 16 DSGVO) Right to erasure ("right to be forgotten") (Article 17 DSGVO) Right to restriction of processing (Article 18 DSGVO) Right to notification & # 8211; Notification obligation in connection with the correction or deletion of personal data or the restriction of processing (Article 19DSGVO) Right to data portability (Article 20 DSGVO) Right to object (Article 21 DSGVO) Right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing - including profiling (Article 22 DSGVO) If you believe that the processing of your data violates data protection law or your data protection claims have otherwise been violated in any way, you can contact the Federal Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information (BfDI) . Evaluation of visitor behavior In the following data protection declaration we inform you whether and how we evaluate data from your visit to this website. The evaluation of the data collected is usually anonymous and we cannot infer your person from your behavior on this website. You can find out more about the possibilities of contradicting this evaluation of the visit data in the following data protection declaration. TLS encryption with https We use https to transfer data securely on the Internet (data protection through technology designArticle 25 paragraph 1 DSGVO). By using TLS (Transport Layer Security), an encryption protocol for secure data transmission over the Internet, we can ensure the protection of confidential data. You can recognize the use of this data protection by the small lock symbol in the top left of the browser and the use of the https scheme (instead of http) as part of our Internet address. Google Fonts privacy policy We use Google Fonts from Google Inc. (1600 Amphitheater Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043, USA) on our website. You do not have to log in or enter a password to use Google fonts. Furthermore, no cookies are stored in your browser. The files (CSS, fonts / fonts) are requested via the Google domains fonts.googleapis.com and fonts.gstatic.com. According to Google, requests for CSS and fonts are completely separate from all other Google services. If you have a Google account, you do not need to worry that your Google account information will be transmitted to Google while you are using Google Fonts. Google records the use of CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) and the fonts used and stores this data securely. We will take a closer look at how the data storage looks exactly. What are Google fonts? Google Fonts (formerly Google Web Fonts) is an interactive directory with more than 800 fonts that Google LLC provides for free use. Many of these fonts are released under the SIL Open Font License, while others are released under the Apache license. Both are free software licenses. So we can use them freely without paying license fees. Why do we use Google Fonts on our website? With Google Fonts we can use fonts on our own website and do not have to upload them to our own server. Google Fonts is an important building block to keep the quality of our website high. All Google fonts are automatically optimized for the web and this saves data volume and is a great advantage especially for use with mobile devices. When you visit our site, the small file size ensures a fast loading time. Furthermore, Google Fonts are so-called secure web fonts. Different image synthesis systems (rendering) in different browsers, operating systems and mobile devices can lead to errors. Such errors can partially distort text or entire websites. Thanks to the fast content delivery network (CDN), there are no cross-platform problems with Google Fonts. Google Fonts supports all common browsers (Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Opera) and works reliably on most modern mobile operating systems, including Android 2.2+ and iOS 4.2+ (iPhone, iPad, iPod). We use Google Fonts so that we can present our entire online service as nicely and consistently as possible. According to Art. 6 para. 1 f lit. F DSGVO already represents a "legitimate interest" in the processing of personal data. In this case, "legitimate interest" means legal as well as economic or non- material interests that are recognized by the legal system. What data does Google store? When you visit our website, the fonts are downloaded via a Google server. This external call transfers data to the Google server. This is how Google also recognizes that you or your IP address is visiting our website. The Google Fonts API was developed to reduce the collection, storage and use of end- user data to what is necessary for the efficient provision of fonts. Incidentally, API stands for "Application Programming Interface" and serves, among other things, as a data transmitter in the software area. Google Fonts stores CSS and font requests securely with Google and is therefore protected. Google can determine the popularity of the fonts from the collected usage figures. Google publishes the results on internal analysis sites such as Google Analytics. Google also uses data from its own web crawler to determine which websites use Google fonts. This data is published in the Google Fonts BigQuery database. BigQuery is a web service from Google for companies that want to move and analyze large amounts of data. However, it should also be borne in mind that with every Google Font request, information such as IP address, language settings, screen resolution of the browser, version of the browser and name of the browser are automatically transferred to the Google server. Whether this data is also stored is not clearly ascertainable or is not clearly communicated by Google. How long and where is the data stored? Google stores requests for CSS assets for a day on your servers, which are mainly located outside the EU. This enables us to use the fonts using a Google stylesheet. A stylesheet is a format template that you can use to quickly and easily, e.g. can change the design or font of a website. The font files are saved by Google for one year. Google's goal is to fundamentally improve the loading time of websites. If millions of websites refer to the same fonts, they are cached after the first visit and reappear immediately on all other websites visited later. Sometimes Google updates font files to reduce file size, increase language coverage, and improve design. How can I delete my data or prevent data storage? The data that Google stores for a day or a year cannot simply be deleted. The data is automatically transmitted to Google when the page is accessed. In order to delete this data prematurely, you must contact Google support onhttps://support.google.com/?hl= de&tid=311133891. In this case, you only prevent data storage if you do not visit our website. Unlike other web fonts, Google allows us unlimited access to all fonts. So we can have unlimited access to a sea of ​​fonts and get the most out of our website. You can find more about Google Fonts and other questions on https://developers.google.com/font s/faq?tid=311133891. Although Google deals with data protection- related matters there, it does not contain any really detailed information about data storage. It is relatively difficult (almost impossible) to get really accurate information about stored data from Google. You can also read about what data Google basically collects and what this data is used for by visitinghttps://www.google.com/int l/de/policies/privacy/. Google Maps privacy policy We use Google Maps from Google Inc. on our website (1600 Amphitheater Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043, USA). With Google Maps, we can visualize locations better and thus improve our service. By using Google Maps, data is transferred to Google and stored on the Google servers. Here we want to go into more detail about what Google Maps is, why we use this Google service, what data is stored and how you can prevent this. What is Google Maps? Google Maps is an online map service from Google Inc. With Google Maps you can search for exact locations of cities, sights, accommodation or companies on the Internet using a PC or an app. If companies are represented on Google My Business, additional information about the company is displayed in addition to the location. In order to show the way to get there, map sections of a location can be integrated into a website using HTML code. Google Maps shows the surface of the earth as a road map or as an aerial or satellite image. Thanks to the Street View images and the high quality satellite images, very precise representations are possible. Why do we use Google Maps on our website? All our efforts on this page aim to offer you a useful and meaningful time on our website. By integrating Google Maps, we can provide you with the most important information about various locations. Thanks to Google Maps, you can see at a glance where we are based. The route description always shows you the best or fastest way to us. You can get directions for routes by car, public transport, on foot or by bike. For us, the provision of Google Maps is part of our customer service. What data does Google Maps store? In order for Google Maps to be able to offer its full service, the company must record and store data about you. This includes, among other things, the search terms entered, your IP address and the latitude and longitude coordinates. If you use the route planner function, the entered start address is also saved. However, this data storage happens on the Google Maps website. We can only inform you about it, but we cannot influence it. Since we have integrated Google Maps into our website, Google sets at least one cookie (name: NID) in your browser. This cookie stores data about your user behavior. Google primarily uses this data to optimize its own services and to provide individual, personalized advertising for you. The following cookie is set in your browser due to the integration of Google Maps: Name: NID Expiration time: after 6 months Use: NID is used by Google to adapt advertisements to your Google search. With the help of cookies, Google “remembers” your most frequently entered search queries or your previous interaction with ads. So you always get tailor-made advertisements. The cookie contains a unique ID that Google uses to collect the user's personal settings for advertising purposes. Example value: 188=h26c1Ktha7fCQTx8rXgLy ATyITJ311133891 Annotation: We cannot guarantee the completeness of the information in the stored data. Changes to Google can never be ruled out, especially when using cookies. In order to identify the cookie NID, a separate test page was created, where only Google Maps was integrated. How long and where is the data stored? The Google servers are located in data centers around the world. Most of the servers are located in America. For this reason, your data is increasingly being stored in the USA. Here you can read exactly where the Google data centers are:https://www.google.com/about /datacenters/inside/locations/?hl=d e Google distributes the data on various data carriers. This means that the data can be called up more quickly and is better protected against any manipulation attempts. Each data center also has special emergency programs. For example, if there are problems with Google hardware or a natural disaster affects the servers, the data is likely to remain protected. Google stores some data for a specified period of time. For other data, Google only offers the option to delete it manually. The company also anonymizes information (such as advertising data) in server logs by deleting part of the IP address and cookie information after 9 or 18 months. How can I delete my data or prevent data storage? With the automatic deletion of location and activity data introduced in 2019, information on location determination and web / app activity & # 8211; depending on your decision & # 8211; saved for 3 or 18 months and then deleted. You can also manually delete this data from the history at any time using the Google account. If you want to completely prevent your location from being recorded, you must pause the "Web and app activity" section in the Google account. Click "Data and Personalization" and then click the "Activity Setting" option. Here you can switch the activities on or off. You can also deactivate, delete or manage individual cookies in your browser. Depending on the browser you use, this works in different ways. The following instructions show how to manage cookies in your browser: Chrome: Delete, activate and manage cookies in Chrome Safari: Manage cookies and website data with Safari Firefox: Delete cookies to remove data that websites have stored on your computer Internet Explorer: Delete and manage cookies Microsoft Edge: Delete and manage cookies If you basically do not want cookies, you can set up your browser so that it always informs you when a cookie should be set. So you can decide for each individual cookie whether you allow it or not. Google is an active participant in the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield Framework, which regulates the correct and secure data transfer of personal data. More information can be found on https://www.privacyshield.gov/parti cipant?id=a2zt0000000TO6hAAG. If you want to learn more about data processing from Google, we recommend the company's own data protection declaration at https://policies.google.com/privacy ?hl=de. Embedded social media elements privacy policy We integrate elements of social media services on our website to display images, videos and texts.By visiting pages that represent these elements, data is transferred from your browser to the respective social media service and stored there. We have no access to this data.The following links lead you to the pages of the respective social media services where it is explained how they handle your data: Instagram privacy policy: https://help.instagram.com/51 9522125107875 The Google data protection declaration applies to YouTube: https://policies.google.com/pr ivacy?hl=de Facebook data directive: https://www.facebook.com/ab out/privacy Twitter data directive https://twitter.com/de/privacy Facebook privacy policy We use selected Facebook tools from Facebook on our website. Facebook is a social media network of Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbor, Dublin 2 Ireland. With these tools, we can offer you and people who are interested in our products and services the best possible offer. Below we give an overview of the various Facebook tools, what data is sent to Facebook and how you can delete this data. What are Facebook-Tools? In addition to many other products, Facebook also offers the so-called & # 8220; Facebook Business Tools & # 8221; on. This is the official name of Facebook. However, since the term is hardly known, we decided to only call it Facebook tools. These include: Facebook-Pixel social plug-ins (such as the "Like" or "Share" button) Facebook Login Account Kit APIs (Programming interface) SDKs (Collection of programming tools) Platform-Integrations Plugins Codes Spezifications Documentations Technologies and services Through these tools, Facebook extends services and has the option of receiving information about user activities outside of Facebook. Why do we use Facebook tools on our website? We only want to show our services and products to people who are really interested in them. With the help of advertisements (Facebook ads) we can reach exactly these people. However, Facebook needs information about people's wishes and needs so that suitable advertising can be shown to users. The company is provided with information about user behavior (and contact details) on our website. As a result, Facebook collects better user data and can show interested people the right advertising about our products or services. The tools thus enable tailor-made advertising campaigns on Facebook. Facebook calls data about your behavior on our website "event data". These are also used for measurement and analysis services. Facebook can thus create “campaign reports” on our behalf regarding the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns. Furthermore, we get a better insight into how you use our services, website or products through analyzes. This enables us to optimize your user experience on our website with some of these tools. For example, you can use the social plug-ins to share content on our site directly on Facebook. What data is saved by Facebook tools? By using individual Facebook tools, personal data (customer data) can be sent to Facebook. Depending on the tools used, customer data such as name, address, telephone number and IP address can be sent. Facebook uses this information to compare the data with your own data (if you are a Facebook member). So-called hashing occurs before customer data is transmitted to Facebook. This means that any data record of any size is transformed into a character string. This also serves to encrypt data. In addition to the contact details, "event data" are also transmitted. “Event data” means the information that we receive about you on our website. For example, which subpages you visit or which products you buy from us. Facebook does not share the information it receives with third parties (such as advertisers) unless the company has explicit permission or is legally required to do so. "Event data" can also be linked to contact details. This allows Facebook to offer better personalized advertising. After the matching process already mentioned, Facebook deletes the contact details. In order to be able to deliver advertisements in an optimized manner, Facebook only uses the event data if it has been combined with other data (which was collected in another way by Facebook). Facebook also uses this event data for security, protection, development and research purposes. Much of this data is transmitted to Facebook via cookies. Cookies are small text files that are used to store data or information in browsers. Depending on the tools used and whether you are a Facebook member, different numbers of cookies are created in your browser. In the descriptions of the individual Facebook tools, we take a closer look at individual Facebook cookies. General information on the use of Facebook cookies can also be found onhttps://www.facebook.com/polici es/cookies. How long and where is the data stored? Basically, Facebook stores data until it is no longer needed for its own services and Facebook products. Facebook has servers all over the world where your data is stored. However, customer data will be deleted within 48 hours after it has been compared with your own user data. How can I delete my data or prevent data storage? According to the General Data Protection Regulation, you have the right to information, correction, portability and deletion of your data. The data will only be deleted if you completely delete your Facebook account. Here's how to delete your Facebook account: 1) Click Settings on the right side of Facebook. 2) Then click on "Your Facebook information" in the left column. 3) Now click “Deactivation and deletion”. 4) Now select "Delete account" and then click on "Next and delete account" 5) Now enter your password, click on "Next" and then on "Delete account" The data that Facebook receives via our site is stored, among other things, using cookies (e.g. for social plugins). You can deactivate, delete or manage individual or all cookies in your browser. Depending on the browser you use, this works in different ways. The following instructions show how to manage cookies in your browser: Chrome: Delete, activate and manage cookies in Chrome Safari: Manage cookies and website data with Safari Firefox: Delete cookies to remove data that websites have stored on your computer Internet Explorer: Delete and manage cookies Microsoft Edge: Delete and manage cookies If you basically do not want cookies, you can set up your browser so that it always informs you when a cookie should be set. So you can decide for each individual cookie whether you allow it or not. Facebook is an active participant in the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield Framework, which regulates the correct and secure data transfer of personal data. More information can be found on https://www.privacyshield.gov/parti cipant?id=a2zt0000000TO6hAAG. We hope we have brought you the most important information about the use and data processing through the Facebook tools. If you want to learn more about how Facebook uses your data, we recommend the data guidelines https://www.facebook.com/about/p rivacy/update. Instagram Data Protection Regulation We have integrated Instagram functions on our website. Instagram is a social media platform of Instagram LLC, 1601 Willow Rd, Menlo Park CA 94025, USA. Instagram has been a subsidiary of Facebook Inc. since 2012 and is one of the Facebook products. Embedding Instagram content on our website is called embedding. This enables us to show you content such as buttons, photos or videos from Instagram directly on our website. When you visit websites on our website that have an Instagram function integrated, data is transmitted to Instagram, stored and processed. Instagram uses the same systems and technologies as Facebook. Your data will thus be processed across all Facebook companies. In the following we want to give you a closer look at why Instagram collects data, what data it is and how you can largely control data processing. Since Instagram is part of Facebook Inc., we obtain our information from the Instagram guidelines on the one hand, but also from the Facebook data guidelines themselves on the other. What is Instagram? Instagram is one of the most famous social media networks worldwide. Instagram combines the advantages of a blog with the advantages of audiovisual platforms such as YouTube or Vimeo. You can upload photos and short videos on "Insta" (as many of the users call the platform casually), edit them with various filters and also spread them on other social networks. And if you don't want to be active yourself, you can only follow other interesting users. Why do we use Instagram on our website? Instagram is the social media platform that has really gone through the roof in recent years. And of course we also reacted to this boom. We want you to feel as comfortable as possible on our website. That is why a varied preparation of our content is a matter of course for us. Thanks to the embedded Instagram functions, we can enrich our content with helpful, funny or exciting content from the Instagram world. Since Instagram is a subsidiary of Facebook, the data collected can also be useful for personalized advertising on Facebook. This means that our ads only get people who are really interested in our products or services. Instagram also uses the data collected for measurement and analysis purposes. We get summarized statistics and thus more insight into your wishes and interests. It is important to note that these reports do not personally identify you. What data does Instagram store? If you come across one of our pages that has built-in Instagram functions (such as Instagram images or plug-ins), your browser automatically connects to the Instagram servers. Data is sent to Instagram, stored and processed. Regardless of whether you have an Instagram account or not. This includes information about our website, about your computer, about purchases made, about advertisements that you see and how you use our offer. The date and time of your interaction with Instagram are also saved. If you have an Instagram account or are logged in, Instagram stores significantly more data about you. Facebook differentiates between customer data and event data. We assume that this is exactly the case with Instagram. Customer data are, for example, name, address, telephone number and IP address. It is important to mention that this customer data is only transmitted to Instagram if it has been “hashed” beforehand. Hashing means that a data record is transformed into a character string. This allows you to encrypt the contact details. In addition, the "event data" mentioned above are also transmitted. “Event data” means Facebook - and consequently also Instagram - data about your user behavior. It can also happen that contact details are combined with event data. The contact details collected are compared with the data that Instagram already has about you. The collected data is transmitted to Facebook via small text files (cookies), which are usually set in your browser. Depending on the Instagram functions used and whether you have an Instagram account yourself, different amounts of data are stored. We assume that data processing on Instagram works the same way as on Facebook. This means: if you have an instagram account or have visited www.instagram.com Instagram has at least set a cookie. If this is the case, your browser sends information to Instagram via the cookie as soon as you come into contact with an Instagram function. This data will be deleted or anonymized after 90 days at the latest (after reconciliation). Although we have worked intensively with Instagram's data processing, we cannot say exactly what data Instagram collects and stores. Below we show you cookies that are set in your browser at least when you click on an Instagram function (such as a button or an insta picture). In our test, we assume that you do not have an Instagram account. If you are logged in to Instagram, of course significantly more cookies are set in your browser. These cookies were used in our test: Name: csrftokenValue: “”Usage: This cookie is very likely set for security reasons to prevent falsification of requests. However, we could not find out more precisely.Expiration: after one year Name: midValue: “”Usage: Instagram uses this cookie to optimize its own services and offers in and outside of Instagram.

Which cookies are set in individual cases depends on the embedded functions and your use of Instagram. How long and where is the data stored? Instagram shares the information it receives between Facebook companies with external partners and with people you connect with worldwide. Data processing is carried out in compliance with our own data guidelines. Your data is distributed on Facebook servers around the world, among other things for security reasons. Most of these servers are located in the United States. How can I delete my data or prevent data storage? Thanks to the General Data Protection Regulation, you have the right to information, portability, correction and deletion of your data. You can manage your data in Instagram settings. If you want to completely delete your data on Instagram, you must permanently delete your Instagram account. Here's how to delete your Instagram account: First, open the Instagram app. Go down on your profile page and click on "Help". Now you come to the company's website. On the website, click "Manage Account" and then "Delete Your Account". If you delete your account entirely, Instagram will delete posts such as your photos and status updates. Information that other people have shared about you is not part of your account and is therefore not deleted. As mentioned above, Instagram primarily stores your data via cookies. You can manage, deactivate or delete these cookies in your browser. Depending on your browser, the administration always works a little differently. Here we show you the instructions of the most important browsers. Chrome: Delete, activate and manage cookies in Chrome Safari: Manage cookies and website data with Safari Firefox: Delete cookies to remove data that websites have stored on your computer Internet Explorer: Delete and manage cookies Microsoft Edge: Delete and manage cookies In principle, you can also set up your browser so that you are always informed when a cookie is to be set. Then you can always decide individually whether you want to allow the cookie or not. Instagram is a subsidiary of Facebook Inc. and Facebook is an active participant in the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield Framework. This framework ensures correct data transmission between the USA and the European Union. Underhttps://www.privacyshield.go v/participant?id=a2zt0000000TO6h AAG you can learn more about this. We have tried to give you the most important information about data processing by Instagram. On https://help.instagram.com/519522 125107875you can take a closer look at Instagram's data guidelines. Google reCAPTCHA data protection declaration Our primary goal is that our website is as safe and secure as possible for you and for us. To ensure this, we use Google reCAPTCHA from Google Inc. (1600 Amphitheater Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043, USA). With reCAPTCHA we can determine whether you really are a flesh and blood person and not a robot or other spam software. We understand spam to mean any electronically undesirable information that we receive without being asked. With the classic CAPTCHAS, you usually had to solve text or picture puzzles to check. With reCAPTCHA from Google, we usually don't have to bother you with such puzzles. In most cases, it is enough to simply tick the box and confirm that you are not a bot. With the new Invisible reCAPTCHA version you don't even have to tick the box. You can find out exactly how this works and, above all, what data is used for this in the course of this data protection declaration. The legal basis for the use is Article 6 (1) f (lawfulness of processing), because there is a legitimate interest in protecting this website from bots and spam software. What is reCAPTCHA? reCAPTCHA is a free captcha service from Google that protects websites from spam software and misuse by non-human visitors. This service is most commonly used when filling out forms on the Internet. A captcha service is an automatic Turing test that is designed to ensure that an action on the Internet is performed by a person, not a bot. In the classic Turing test (named after computer scientist Alan Turing), a person ascertains the distinction between bot and person. At Captchas, the computer or a software program does the same. Classic captchas work with small tasks that are easy to solve for humans, but have considerable difficulties for machines. With reCAPTCHA, you no longer have to actively solve puzzles. The tool uses modern risk techniques to distinguish people from bots. Here you only have to tick the text field "I am not a robot" or with Invisible reCAPTCHA even this is no longer necessary. At reCAPTCHA, a JavaScript element is integrated into the source text and then the tool runs in the background and analyzes your user behavior. The software calculates a so-called captcha score from these user actions. Google uses this score to calculate the likelihood that you are human before entering the captcha. ReCAPTCHA or Captchas in general are always used when bots could manipulate or abuse certain actions (e.g. registrations, surveys, etc.). Why do we use reCAPTCHA on our website? We only want to welcome flesh- and-blood people on our side. Bots or spam software of all kinds can safely stay at home. That is why we are doing everything possible to protect ourselves and to offer you the best possible user friendliness. For this reason, we use Google reCAPTCHA from Google. So we can be pretty sure that we will remain a "bot-free" website. By using reCAPTCHA, data is transmitted to Google, which Google uses to determine whether you really are human. reCAPTCHA thus serves the security of our website and subsequently also your security. For example, without reCAPTCHA it could happen that a bot registers as many e-mail addresses as possible when registering, in order to subsequently "spam" forums or blogs with unwanted advertising content. With reCAPTCHA we can avoid such bot attacks. What data does reCAPTCHA store? ReCAPTCHA collects personal data from users to determine whether the actions on our website really come from people. So the IP address and other data that Google needs for the reCAPTCHA service can be sent to Google. Within the member states of the EU or other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area, IP addresses are almost always shortened before the data ends up on a server in the USA. The IP address will not be combined with other Google data unless you are logged in with your Google account while using reCAPTCHA. First, the reCAPTCHA algorithm checks whether Google cookies from other Google services (YouTube, Gmail, etc.) have already been placed on your browser. Then reCAPTCHA sets an additional cookie in your browser and takes a snapshot of your browser window. The following list of collected browser and user data is not exhaustive. Rather, they are examples of data that we understand to be processed by Google. Referrer URL (the address of the page the visitor comes from) IP-Address (z.B. 256.123.123.1) Information about the operating system (the software that enables your computer to operate. Known operating systems are Windows, Mac OS X or Linux) Cookies (small text files that save data in your browser) Mouse and keyboard behavior (every action you take with the mouse or keyboard is saved) Date and language settings (which language or which date you have preset on your PC is saved) All Javascript objects (JavaScript is a programming language that allows websites to adapt to the user. JavaScript objects can collect all possible data under one name) Screen resolution (shows how many pixels the image display consists of) It is undisputed that Google uses and analyzes this data even before you click on the checkmark "I am not a robot". In the Invisible reCAPTCHA version, there is even no ticking and the entire recognition process runs in the background. How much and what data Google stores is not known from Google in detail. The following cookies are used by reCAPTCHA: Here we refer to the reCAPTCHA demo version from Google https://www.google.com/recaptcha /api2/demo. All of these cookies require a unique identifier for tracking purposes. Here is a list of cookies that Google reCAPTCHA has set on the demo version: Name: IDEExpiration: After one yearUsage: This cookie is set by DoubleClick (also belongs to Google) to register and report a user's actions on the website in dealing with advertisements. In this way, the advertising effectiveness can be measured and appropriate optimization measures can be taken. IDE is stored in browsers under the domain doubleclick.net.Example value: WqTUmlnmv_qXyi_DGNPLESKnRNr pgXoy1K-pAZtAkMbHI-311133891 Name: 1P_JARExpiration: after one monthUsage: This cookie collects website usage statistics and measures conversions. A conversion occurs, for example, when a user becomes a buyer. The cookie is also used to display relevant advertisements to users. Furthermore, the cookie can prevent a user from seeing the same ad more than once.Example value: 2019-5-14-12 Name: ANIDExpiration: after 9 monthsUsage: We could not get much information about this cookie. In Google's data protection declaration, the cookie is used in connection with "advertising cookies" such as B. & # 8220; DSID & # 8221 ;, & # 8220; FLC & # 8221 ;, & # 8220; AID & # 8221 ;, & # 8220; TAID & # 8221; mentioned. ANID is stored under the domain google.com.Example value: U7j1v3dZa3111338910xgZFmiqWp pRWKOr Name: CONSENTExpiration: after 19 yearsUsage: The cookie stores the status of a user's consent to use various Google services. CONSENT also serves security to check users, prevent fraudulent login information and protect user data from unauthorized attacks.Example value: YES+AT.de+20150628-20-0 Name: NIDExpiration: after 6 monthsUsage: NID is used by Google to adapt advertisements to your Google search. With the help of cookies, Google “remembers” your most frequently entered search queries or your previous interaction with advertisements. So you always get tailor-made advertisements. The cookie contains a unique ID that Google uses to collect the user's personal settings for advertising purposes.Example value: 0WmuWqy311133891zILzqV_nmt3s DXwPeM5Q Name: DVExpiration: after 10 minutesUsage: As soon as you have checked the "I am not a robot" check mark, this cookie is set. The cookie is used by Google Analytics for personalized advertising. DV collects information in anonymous form and is also used to make user distinctions.Example value: gEAABBCjJMXcI0dSAAAANbqc3111 33891 Note: This list cannot claim to be complete, as experience has shown that Google always changes the choice of cookies. How long and where is the data stored? By inserting reCAPTCHA, data is transferred from you to the Google server. Where exactly this data is stored is not clearly shown by Google, even after repeated inquiries. Without having received confirmation from Google, it can be assumed that data such as mouse interaction, length of stay on the website or language settings on the European or American Google- Servers are saved. The IP address that your browser transmits to Google is generally not merged with other Google data from other Google services. However, if you are logged into your Google account while using the reCAPTCHA plug-in, the data will be merged. The different data protection regulations of the company Google apply. How can I delete my data or prevent data storage? If you want no data about you and your behavior to be transmitted to Google, you must log out of Google completely and delete all Google cookies before you visit our website or use the reCAPTCHA software. Basically, the data is automatically sent to Google as soon as you visit our website. To delete this data again, you have to go to Google support https://support.google.com/?hl=de & and contact them. If you use our website, you agree that Google LLC and its representatives automatically collect, edit and use data. You can find out more about reCAPTCHA on Google's web developer page athttps://developers.google.com/re captcha/. Google goes into more detail here about the technical development of reCAPTCHA, but there is also no vain search for precise information about data storage and data protection-related topics there. A good overview of the basic use of data at Google can be found in the in-house data protection declaration https://www.google.com/intl/de/po licies/privacy/.
