This privacy policy informs you about the nature, scope and purpose of the processing of personal data (hereinafter referred to as “data”) within the scope of our services and within our online offering and the websites, functions and content associated with it, as well as external online presences, such as our social media profiles (hereinafter collectively referred to as “online offering”). With regard to the terminology used, such as “processing” or “controller”, we refer to the definitions in Art. 4 of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
Types of data processed
Categories of data subjects
Visitors and users of the online offering (hereinafter, we also refer to the data subjects collectively as “users”).
Purpose of processing
Terminology used
“Personal data” means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (hereinafter “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 (e.g. cookie) or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person.
“Processing” means any operation or set of operations which is performed on personal data, whether or not by automated means. The term is broad and covers virtually any handling of data.
“Pseudonymisation” means 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 organisational measures to ensure that the personal data are not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.
“Profiling” means any form of automated processing of personal data consisting of the use of personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to analyse or predict aspects concerning that natural person’s performance at work, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behaviour, location or movements.
The “controller” means 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.
“Processor” means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which processes personal data on behalf of the controller.
Relevant legal bases
In accordance with Art. 13 GDPR, we inform you of the legal bases for our data processing. For users within the scope of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), i.e. the EU and EEA, the following applies unless the legal basis is stated in the privacy policy:
The legal basis for obtaining consent is Art. 6(1)(a) and Art. 7 GDPR; the legal basis for processing for the fulfilment of our services and the performance of contractual measures as well as responding to enquiries is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR; the legal basis for processing to fulfil our legal obligations is Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR;
In the event that vital interests of the data subject or another natural person require the processing of personal data, Art. 6(1)(d) GDPR serves as the legal basis.
The legal basis for the processing necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller is Art. 6(1)(e) GDPR.
The legal basis for processing to protect our legitimate interests is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The processing of data for purposes other than those for which they were collected is determined by the provisions of Art. 6(4) GDPR. The processing of special categories of data (pursuant to Art. 9(1) GDPR) is determined by the provisions of Art. 9(2) GDPR.
Security measures
We take appropriate technical and organisational measures in accordance with legal requirements, taking into account the state of the art, the costs of implementation and the nature, scope, circumstances and purposes of processing as well as the different likelihood and severity of the risk to the rights and freedoms of natural persons, to ensure a level of protection appropriate to the risk.
The measures include, in particular, ensuring the confidentiality, integrity and availability of data by controlling physical access to the data, as well as access, input, disclosure, ensuring availability and their separation. Furthermore, we have established procedures to ensure the exercise of data subjects’ rights, the deletion of data and responses to data threats. We also take the protection of personal data into account from the outset in the development or selection of hardware, software and procedures, in accordance with the principle of data protection by design and by default.
Cooperation with processors, joint controllers and third parties
If, in the course of our processing, we disclose data to other persons and companies (processors, joint controllers or third parties), transmit it to them or otherwise grant them access to the data, this is only done on the basis of a legal permission (e.g. if a transmission of the data to third parties, such as to payment service providers, is necessary for the fulfilment of the contract), users have consented, a legal obligation provides for this or on the basis of our legitimate interests (e.g. when using agents, web hosts, etc.).
If we disclose, transmit or otherwise grant access to data to other companies within our group of companies, this is done in particular for administrative purposes as a legitimate interest and, beyond that, on a basis that complies with the legal requirements.
Transfers to third countries
If we process data in a third country (i.e. outside the European Union (EU), the European Economic Area (EEA) or the Swiss Confederation) or if this occurs in the context of the use of third-party services or disclosure or transmission of data to other persons or companies, this only takes place if it is done to fulfil our (pre)contractual obligations, on the basis of your consent, on the basis of a legal obligation or on the basis of our legitimate interests. Subject to express consent or contractually required transfer, we only process or have the data processed in third countries with a recognised level of data protection, including US processors certified under the “Privacy Shield”, or on the basis of special guarantees, such as contractual obligation through so-called standard protection clauses of the EU Commission, the existence of certifications or binding internal data protection regulations (Art. 44 to 49 GDPR, EU Commission information page).
Rights of data subjects
You have the right to request confirmation as to whether the data in question is being processed and to obtain information about this data as well as further information and a copy of the data in accordance with legal requirements.
You have the right, in accordance with legal requirements, to request the completion of the data concerning you or the rectification of inaccurate data concerning you.
You have the right, in accordance with legal requirements, to request that the data in question be deleted without delay or, alternatively, to request restriction of the processing of the data in accordance with legal requirements.
You have the right to request that the data concerning you that you have provided to us be received in accordance with legal requirements and to request its transmission to other controllers.
You also have the right, in accordance with legal requirements, to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority.
Right of withdrawal
You have the right to revoke any consent given with effect for the future.
Right to object
You may object at any time to the future processing of data concerning you in accordance with legal requirements. The objection may in particular be made against processing for the purposes of direct marketing.
Cookies and right to object to direct marketing
“Cookies” are small files that are stored on users’ computers. Different information can be stored within the cookies. A cookie primarily serves to store information about a user (or the device on which the cookie is stored) during or after their visit to an online offering. Temporary cookies, or “session cookies” or “transient cookies”, are cookies that are deleted after a user leaves an online offering and closes their browser. Such a cookie may store, for example, the contents of a shopping cart in an online shop or a login status. “Permanent” or “persistent” cookies are cookies that remain stored even after the browser is closed. For example, the login status can be stored if users visit them after several days. Likewise, the interests of users can be stored in such a cookie, which are used for reach measurement or marketing purposes. “Third-party cookies” are cookies offered by providers other than the controller operating the online offering (otherwise, if they are only its cookies, they are referred to as “first-party cookies”).
We may use temporary and permanent cookies and will provide information about this in our privacy policy.
If we ask users for consent to the use of cookies (e.g. as part of a cookie consent), the legal basis for this processing is Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR. Otherwise, the personal cookies of users are processed in accordance with the following explanations within the scope of this privacy policy on the basis of our legitimate interests (i.e. interest in the analysis, optimisation and economic operation of our online offering within the meaning of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) or, insofar as the use of cookies is necessary for the provision of our contract-related services, pursuant to Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR, or insofar as the use of cookies is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority, pursuant to Art. 6(1)(e) GDPR.
If users do not want cookies to be stored on their computer, they are asked to deactivate the corresponding option in the system settings of their browser. Stored cookies can be deleted in the system settings of the browser. The exclusion of cookies may lead to functional restrictions of this online offering.
A general objection to the use of cookies used for online marketing purposes can be declared for a large number of services, especially in the case of tracking, via the US site http://www.aboutads.info/choices/ or the EU site http://www.youronlinechoices.com/. Furthermore, the storage of cookies can be achieved by deactivating them in the browser settings. Please note that not all functions of this online offering may be available in that case.
Deletion of data
The data processed by us will be deleted or restricted in their processing in accordance with legal requirements. Unless expressly stated within this privacy policy, the data stored by us will be deleted as soon as they are no longer required for their intended purpose and the deletion does not conflict with any statutory retention obligations.
If the data is not deleted because it is required for other and legally permissible purposes, its processing will be restricted. I.e. the data is blocked and not processed for other purposes. This applies, for example, to data that must be retained for commercial or tax law reasons.
Changes and updates to the privacy policy
We ask you to regularly inform yourself about the content of our privacy policy. We adapt the privacy policy as soon as the changes in the data processing we carry out make this necessary. We will inform you as soon as the changes require an act of participation on your part (e.g. consent) or other individual notification.
Business-related processing
In addition, we process
– Contract data (e.g., subject matter of the contract, term, customer category)
– Payment data (e.g., bank details, payment history)
from our customers, prospects and business partners for the purpose of providing contractual services, service and customer care, marketing, advertising and market research.
Agency services
We process the data of our customers within the scope of our contractual services, which include conceptual and strategic consulting, campaign planning, software and design development/consulting or maintenance, implementation of campaigns and processes/handling, server administration, data analysis/consulting services and training services.
In doing so, we process inventory data (e.g., customer master data such as names or addresses), contact data (e.g., email addresses, phone numbers), content data (e.g., text entries, photographs, videos), contract data (e.g., subject matter of the contract, term), payment data (e.g., bank details, payment history), usage and metadata (e.g., in the context of evaluating and measuring the success of marketing measures). We do not generally process special categories of personal data unless these are part of a commissioned processing. Those affected include our customers, prospects and their customers, users, website visitors or employees as well as third parties. The purpose of the processing is the provision of contractual services, billing and our customer service. The legal bases for the processing arise from Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (contractual services), Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (analysis, statistics, optimisation, security measures). We process data that is necessary for the establishment and fulfilment of the contractual services and indicate the necessity of their provision. Disclosure to external parties only takes place if it is necessary within the scope of an order. When processing the data provided to us within the scope of an order, we act in accordance with the instructions of the clients and the legal requirements of order processing pursuant to Art. 28 GDPR and do not process the data for any purposes other than those of the order.
We delete the data after the expiry of statutory warranty and comparable obligations. The necessity of retaining the data is reviewed every three years; in the case of statutory archiving obligations, the deletion takes place after their expiry (6 years pursuant to § 257(1) HGB, 10 years pursuant to § 147(1) AO). In the case of data disclosed to us within the scope of an order by the client, we delete the data in accordance with the specifications of the order, generally after the end of the order.
Administration, financial accounting, office organisation, contact management
We process data in the context of administrative tasks and the organisation of our business, financial accounting and compliance with legal obligations, such as archiving. In doing so, we process the same data that we process in the course of providing our contractual services. The processing bases are Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR, Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Customers, prospects, business partners and website visitors are affected by the processing. The purpose and our interest in the processing lies in administration, financial accounting, office organisation, archiving of data, i.e. tasks that serve the maintenance of our business activities, the performance of our tasks and the provision of our services. The deletion of data with regard to contractual services and contractual communication corresponds to the information stated in these processing activities.
In this context, we disclose or transmit data to the tax authorities, consultants such as tax advisors or auditors, as well as other fee offices and payment service providers.
Furthermore, on the basis of our business interests, we store information about suppliers, organisers and other business partners, e.g. for the purpose of later contact. We generally store this predominantly company-related data permanently.
Google Cloud services
We use the cloud and cloud software services (so-called Software as a Service, e.g. Google Suite) offered by Google for the following purposes: document storage and management, calendar management, email delivery, spreadsheets and presentations, exchange of documents, content and information with specific recipients or publication of websites, forms or other content and information, as well as chats and participation in audio and video conferences.
In this context, the personal data of users are processed insofar as they become part of the documents and content processed within the described services or are part of communication processes. This may include, for example, master data and contact data of users, data on transactions, contracts, other processes and their content. Google also processes usage data and metadata, which are used by Google for security purposes and service optimisation.
When using publicly accessible documents, websites or other content within the Google Cloud services, Google may store cookies on users’ computers for the purposes of web analysis or to remember user settings.
We use Google Cloud services on the basis of our legitimate interests pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR in efficient and secure administrative and collaboration processes. Furthermore, processing is carried out on the basis of a data processing agreement with Google (https://cloud.google.com/terms/data-processing-terms).
Further information can be found in Google’s privacy policy (https://www.google.com/policies/privacy) and the security information for Google Cloud services (https://cloud.google.com/security/privacy/). You may object to the processing of your data in the Google Cloud to us in accordance with legal requirements. Otherwise, the deletion of data within Google’s Cloud services is determined by the other processing processes within the scope of which the data is processed (e.g., deletion of data no longer required for contractual purposes or storage of data required for taxation purposes).
Google Cloud services are offered by Google Ireland Limited. Insofar as a transfer to the USA takes place, we refer to the certification of Google USA under the Privacy Shield (https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt0000000000001L5AAI&status=Aktive) and standard protection clauses (https://cloud.google.com/terms/data-processing-terms).
Contacting us
When contacting us (e.g. via contact form, email, telephone or via social media), the user’s information is processed for the purpose of handling the contact request and its processing pursuant to Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (within the scope of contractual/pre-contractual relationships), Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (other enquiries). User information may be stored in a Customer Relationship Management System (“CRM System”) or comparable enquiry organisation.
We delete the enquiries if they are no longer necessary. We review the necessity every two years; furthermore, the statutory archiving obligations apply.
We offer you the option to contact us via the messaging service WhatsApp. The provider is WhatsApp Ireland Limited, Merrion Road, Dublin 4, D04 X2K5, Ireland, a subsidiary of Meta Platforms, Inc., USA (hereinafter “WhatsApp”). When you contact us via WhatsApp, the information you transmit (in particular phone number, your WhatsApp profile name and picture where applicable, message content, and technical metadata such as timestamps) is processed via WhatsApp’s servers. We ourselves process this data exclusively to respond to your inquiry and to initiate a possible collaboration. The legal basis for processing is Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR (performance of pre-contractual measures) and Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR (legitimate interest in efficient communication with prospects and clients). WhatsApp may also transfer data to countries outside the European Economic Area, particularly the United States. For these data transfers, WhatsApp has implemented appropriate safeguards under Art. 46 GDPR, including the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses and certification under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework. Details can be found in WhatsApp’s privacy policy at https://www.whatsapp.com/legal/privacy-policy-eea. Please note that we have no influence over WhatsApp’s own data processing practices. If you wish to avoid transmitting your data to WhatsApp, you may alternatively contact us by email at elisa@convary.com or schedule a call via our booking form. You may object to the processing of your data or request deletion at any time. Please contact us informally at elisa@convary.com for this.
On our website we offer you the option to schedule a call with us via the service Calendly. The provider is Calendly LLC, 271 17th Street NW, Ste 1000, Atlanta, GA 30363, USA (hereinafter “Calendly”). When you book an appointment via Calendly, the data you provide (in particular name, email address, company, and any additional information you voluntarily share) is processed via Calendly and made available to us. Calendly also collects technical data such as IP address and browser information. The legal basis for processing is Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR (performance of pre-contractual measures). Calendly processes data among others in the United States. For this data transfer, Calendly has implemented appropriate safeguards under Art. 46 GDPR, in particular the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses. Details can be found in Calendly’s privacy policy at https://calendly.com/privacy. If you wish to avoid booking via Calendly, you may alternatively contact us directly by email at elisa@convary.com to arrange an appointment.
Hosting and email delivery
The hosting services we use serve to provide the following services: infrastructure and platform services, computing capacity, storage space and database services, email delivery, security services and technical maintenance services that we use for the purpose of operating this online offering.
In doing so, we or our hosting provider process inventory data, contact data, content data, contract data, usage data, meta and communication data of customers, prospects and visitors of this online offering on the basis of our legitimate interests in an efficient and secure provision of this online offering pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR in conjunction with Art. 28 GDPR (conclusion of a data processing agreement).
Collection of access data and log files
We or our hosting provider collect, on the basis of our legitimate interests within the meaning of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, data on every access to the server on which this service is located (so-called server log files). Access data includes the name of the website accessed, file, date and time of access, amount of data transferred, notification of successful access, browser type and version, the user’s operating system, referrer URL (the previously visited page), IP address and the requesting provider.
Log file information is stored for security reasons (e.g. for the clarification of abuse or fraud) for a maximum period of 7 days and then deleted. Data whose further retention is necessary for evidentiary purposes is exempt from deletion until the respective incident has been finally clarified.
Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (“Google”). Google uses cookies. The information generated by the cookie about the use of the online offering by users is generally transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there.
Google will use this information on our behalf to evaluate the use of our online offering by users, to compile reports on activities within this online offering and to provide us with further services associated with the use of this online offering and internet usage. In doing so, pseudonymous usage profiles of users may be created from the processed data.
We only use Google Analytics with activated IP anonymisation. This means that the IP address of users is truncated by Google within Member States of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transmitted to a Google server in the USA and truncated there.
The IP address transmitted by the user’s browser is not merged with other Google data. Users can prevent the storage of cookies by setting their browser software accordingly; users can also prevent the collection of data generated by the cookie and related to their use of the online offering to Google and the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at the following link:
http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de.
If we ask users for consent (e.g. as part of a cookie consent), the legal basis for this processing is Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR. Otherwise, the personal data of users is processed on the basis of our legitimate interests (i.e. interest in the analysis, optimisation and economic operation of our online offering within the meaning of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).
Insofar as data is processed in the USA, we point out that Google is certified under the Privacy Shield agreement and thereby undertakes to comply with European data protection law (https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt000000001L5AAI&status=Active).
Further information on data use by Google, settings and opt-out options can be found in Google’s privacy policy (https://policies.google.com/privacy) and in the settings for the display of advertising by Google
(https://adssettings.google.com/authenticated).
Users’ personal data is deleted or anonymised after 14 months.
Google AdWords and conversion measurement
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 are displayed to users who have a presumed interest in the ads. This allows us to display ads for and within our online offering in a more targeted manner in order to only present users with ads that potentially match their interests. If a user is shown ads for products, for example, that they were interested in on other online offerings, this is referred to as “remarketing”. For these purposes, when our and other websites on which the Google advertising network is active are accessed, a code from Google is executed directly by Google and so-called (re)marketing tags (invisible graphics or code, also known as “web beacons”) are integrated into the website. With their help, an individual cookie, i.e. a small file, is stored on the user’s device (comparable technologies may also be used instead of cookies). This file records which websites the user has visited, which content they are interested in and which offers the user has clicked on, as well as technical information about the browser and operating system, referring websites, visit time and further information on the use of the online offering.
Furthermore, we receive an individual “conversion cookie”. The information obtained with the help of the cookie is used by Google to create conversion statistics for us. However, we only learn the anonymous total number of users who clicked on our ad and were redirected to a page equipped with a conversion tracking tag. However, we do not receive any information that could be used to personally identify users.
Users’ data is processed pseudonymously within the Google advertising network. I.e. Google does not store and process, for example, the name or email address of users, but processes the relevant data on a cookie-related basis within pseudonymous user profiles. I.e. from Google’s perspective, the ads are not managed and displayed for a specifically identified person, but for the cookie holder, regardless of who this cookie holder is. This does not apply if a user has expressly permitted Google to process the data without this pseudonymisation. The information collected about users is transmitted to Google and stored on Google’s servers in the USA.
If we ask users for consent (e.g. as part of a cookie consent), the legal basis for this processing is Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR. Otherwise, the personal data of users is processed on the basis of our legitimate interests (i.e. interest in the analysis, optimisation and economic operation of our online offering within the meaning of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).
Insofar as data is processed in the USA, we point out that Google is certified under the Privacy Shield agreement and thereby undertakes to comply with European data protection law (https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt000000001L5AAI&status=Active).
Further information on data use by Google, settings and opt-out options can be found in Google’s privacy policy (https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads) and in the settings for the display of advertising by Google
(https://adssettings.google.com/authenticated).
Jetpack (WordPress Stats)
We use the Jetpack plugin (specifically the “WordPress Stats” sub-function), which integrates a tool for the statistical evaluation of visitor access and is provided by Automattic Inc., 60 29th Street #343, San Francisco, CA 94110, USA. Jetpack uses so-called “cookies”, text files that are stored on your computer and that enable analysis of your use of the website.
The information generated by the cookie about your use of this online offering is stored on a server in the USA. In doing so, usage profiles of users may be created from the processed data, which are only used for analysis and not for advertising purposes. Further information can be found in Automattic’s privacy policy: https://automattic.com/privacy/ and information on Jetpack cookies: https://jetpack.com/support/cookies/.
If we ask users for consent (e.g. as part of a cookie consent), the legal basis for this processing is Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR. Otherwise, the personal data of users is processed on the basis of our legitimate interests (i.e. interest in the analysis, optimisation and economic operation of our online offering within the meaning of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).
Wordfence
We have integrated Wordfence on this website. The provider is Defiant Inc., Defiant, Inc., 800 5th Ave Ste 4100, Seattle, WA 98104, USA (hereinafter Wordfence).
Wordfence serves to protect our website from unwanted access or malicious cyberattacks. For this purpose, our website establishes a permanent connection to Wordfence’s servers so that Wordfence can compare its databases with the accesses made on our website and block them if necessary.
The use of Wordfence is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the most effective protection of its website against cyberattacks. If a corresponding consent has been requested, the processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR; the consent can be revoked at any time.
The data transfer to the USA is based on the EU Commission’s standard contractual clauses. Details can be found here: https://www.wordfence.com/help/general-data-protection-regulation/.
Online presences in social media
We maintain online presences within social networks and platforms in order to communicate with customers, prospects and users active there and to inform them about our services.
We point out that user data may be processed outside the European Union. This may result in risks for users because, for example, the enforcement of users’ rights could be made more difficult. With regard to US providers certified under the Privacy Shield, we point out that they thereby commit to complying with EU data protection standards.
Furthermore, user data is generally processed for market research and advertising purposes. For example, usage profiles can be created from usage behaviour and the resulting interests of users. The usage profiles can in turn be used, for example, to place advertisements inside and outside the platforms that presumably correspond to the interests of the users. For these purposes, cookies are generally stored on users’ computers, in which the usage behaviour and interests of users are stored. Furthermore, data may also be stored in the usage profiles independently of the devices used by the users (in particular if the users are members of the respective platforms and are logged in to them).
The processing of users’ personal data is carried out on the basis of our legitimate interests in effective information and communication with users pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. If users are asked by the respective providers of the platforms for consent to the aforementioned data processing, the legal basis for the processing is Art. 6(1)(a), Art. 7 GDPR.
For a detailed description of the respective processing and opt-out options, we refer to the information of the providers linked below.
Also in the case of requests for information and the assertion of user rights, we point out that these can be asserted most effectively with the providers. Only the providers have access to the users’ data and can take appropriate measures and provide information directly. Should you still need assistance, you can contact us.
Integration of third-party services and content
Within our online offering, we use content or service offerings from third-party providers on the basis of our legitimate interests (i.e. interest in the analysis, optimisation and economic operation of our online offering within the meaning of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) in order to integrate their content and services, such as videos or fonts (hereinafter uniformly referred to as “content”).
This always requires that the third-party providers of this content perceive the IP address of the users, as without the IP address they would not be able to send the content to their browser. The IP address is therefore required for the display of this content. We endeavour to only use content whose respective providers only use the IP address for the delivery of the content. Third-party providers may also use so-called pixel tags (invisible graphics, also known as “web beacons”) for statistical or marketing purposes. Through the “pixel tags”, information such as visitor traffic on the pages of this website can be evaluated. The pseudonymous information may also be stored in cookies on the user’s device and may contain, among other things, technical information about the browser and operating system, referring websites, visit time and further information on the use of our online offering, as well as being linked to such information from other sources.
Vimeo
We may integrate videos from the “Vimeo” platform of the provider Vimeo Inc., Attention: Legal Department, 555 West 18th Street New York, New York 10011, USA. Privacy Policy:
https://vimeo.com/privacy.
We point out that Vimeo may use Google Analytics and refer to the privacy policy (https://policies.google.com/privacy) and opt-out options for Google Analytics (http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de) or Google’s settings for data use for marketing purposes (https://adssettings.google.com/).

The data may be processed in the USA.
Privacy Policy
Opt-Out
Within our online offering, functions and content of the Instagram service, offered by Instagram Inc., 1601 Willow Road, Menlo Park, CA, 94025, USA, may be integrated. This may include, for example, content such as images, videos or texts and buttons with which users can share content of this online offering within Instagram. If users are members of the Instagram platform, Instagram may associate the access to the above-mentioned content and functions with the users’ profiles there. Instagram privacy policy:

SSL encryption
This site uses SSL encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as the enquiries you send to us as the site operator. You can recognise an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock symbol in your browser line. When SSL encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.
Information, deletion, blocking
You have the right at any time to free information about your stored personal data, their origin and recipients and the purpose of data processing, as well as a right to rectification, blocking or deletion of this data.
