We work with various service providers to deliver our website and to achieve the described purposes, i.e., to provide and visualise our websites and perform analysis. These are the following products that we have included on our websites and on which we inform you based on our level of knowledge:

  • For the already mentioned analysis purposes, we use the analytical service of Google, LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (“Google Analytics”). Google Analytics is an analytical tool that provides us with information on the use of the website.

Google uses these data to compile analysis reports on the use of our website. Google may also transfer this information to third parties if this is required by law or if third parties process this data on behalf of Google.

We activated the IP anonymization of Google Analytics. Prior to transmission to the Google servers in the USA, your IP address will be shortened by Google within the member states of the European Union or in other signatory states to the EEA. That makes it untraceable. In exceptional cases only, the full IP address is transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. The IP address transmitted by your browser in the context of Google Analytics is not merged with other Google data.

For more information on Google Analytics, please visit http://www.google.com/intl/de/analytics/learn/privacy.html.

  • Typekit: This page uses web fonts provided by Adobe Typekit to display a uniform look and feel of fonts. When you visit a website, your browser loads the required web fonts into your browser cache to correctly display texts and fonts.

For this purpose, your browser needs to connect to the Adobe Typekit servers. This will allow Adobe Typekit to know your IP address has been used to access our website. For more information, please refer to Typekit’s privacy policy, which you can access here: http://www.adobe.com/privacy/typekit.html.

 

6. How long will my data be stored?

7. Will data also be transmitted to recipients outside the European Union or outside the European Economic Area (EEA)?

We share personal information with contractors located in non-EEA countries. In this case, we ensure that the recipient either has an adequate level of data protection (e.g. based on an adequacy decision of the EU Commission for the respective country, a self-certification of the recipient for the EU-US Privacy Shield or the agreement of so-called EU standard contractual clauses of the European Union with the recipient) or sufficient consent.

We can provide you with an overview of the recipients in third countries and a copy of the concretely agreed regulations to ensure the appropriate level of data protection. Please use the information in the section „Contact“ below.
