We recommend that you use a pseudonym instead of your real name. Your username and e-mail address are required, all other information is voluntary. If you leave a comment, we will continue to store your IP address, which we will delete after [one week]. This storage is necessary for us to be able to defend ourselves against liability claims in the event of possible publication of illegal content. We need your e-mail address in order to contact you if a third party objects to your comment as unlawful. The legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b and f GDPR. Comments are not checked before publication. We reserve the right to delete comments if they are objected to as unlawful by third parties.

2 Use of our portal

(1) If you wish to use our portal, you must register by entering your e-mail address, a password of your choice and a user name of your choice. There is no obligation to use a clear name; pseudonymous use is possible. We use the so-called double opt-in procedure for registration, i.e. your registration is not complete until you have confirmed your registration by clicking on the link contained in a confirmation e-mail sent to you for this purpose. If you do not confirm your registration within 24 hours, your registration will be automatically deleted from our database. The provision of the aforementioned data is mandatory; you can provide all other information voluntarily by using our portal.

In contrast, your entire profile with the data you have shared is visible to all members who have confirmed you as a personal contact. If you make content accessible to your personal contacts that you do not send by means of a private message, this content will be visible to third parties if your personal contact has approved it. If you post content in public groups, this content will be visible to all registered members of the portal.

(4) To prevent unauthorized access by third parties to your personal data, in particular financial data, the connection is encrypted using TLS technology.

For the evaluations, we link the data mentioned in § 3 and the web beacons with your e-mail address and an individual ID. Links received in the newsletter also contain this ID. We use the data obtained in this way to create a user profile in order to tailor the newsletter to your individual interests. We record when you read our newsletters, which links you click on in them and deduce your personal interests from this. We link this data to the actions you take on our website.

However, if IP anonymization is activated on this website, your IP address will first be truncated by Google within member states of the European Union or in other states party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and truncated there. Google will use this information on behalf of the operator of this website for the purpose of evaluating your use of the website, compiling reports on website activity and providing other services relating to website activity and internet usage to the website operator.

(4) This website uses Google Analytics with the extension "_anonymizeIp()". This means that IP addresses are further processed in abbreviated form, so that they cannot be linked to a specific person. If the data collected about you is personally identifiable, it is immediately excluded and the personal data is deleted immediately.

(5) We use Google Analytics to analyze and regularly improve the use of our website. We can use the statistics obtained to improve our offer and make it more interesting for you as a user. For the exceptional cases in which personal data is transferred to the USA, Google has submitted to the EU-US Privacy Shield, https://www.privacyshield.gov/EU-US-Framework . The legal basis for the use of Google Analytics is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR.

2. use of Uptain

To improve interaction with our visitors, we use a Java script plugin from uptain GmbH ("uptain plugin" https://www.uptain.de). This allows us to analyze your use of the website and improve our customer approach (e.g. through a dialog box). For this purpose, we collect information about your usage behavior, i.e. movement of the cursor, length of stay, links clicked on and any information provided.

3. use of the Scalable Central Measurement Method (SZM)

(1) Our website uses the measurement method ("SZMnG") of INFOnline GmbH (https://www.infonline.de) to determine statistical parameters about the use of our offers. The aim of the reach measurement is to statistically determine the intensity of use, the number of users of a website and the surfing behavior - on the basis of a uniform standard procedure - and thus to obtain market-wide comparable values.

For websites that are members of the Informationsgemeinschaft zur Feststellung der Verbreitung von Werbeträgern e. V. (IVW - https://www.ivw.eu) or participate in the studies of the Arbeitsgemeinschaft Online-Forschung e. V. (AGOF - https://www.agof.de), the usage statistics are regularly published by the AGOF and the Arbeitsgemeinschaft Media-Analyse e. V. (agma - https://www.agma-mmc.de), as well as the IVW, and can be viewed on the respective websites.

1. data processing

INFOnline GmbH collects and processes data in accordance with German data protection law. Technical and organizational measures are taken to ensure that individual users cannot be identified at any time. Data that may have a reference to a specific, identifiable person is anonymized as soon as possible.

1.1 Anonymization of the IP address

On the Internet, every device requires a unique address, the so-called IP address, to transmit data. The at least temporary storage of the IP address is technically necessary due to the way the Internet works. The IP addresses are shortened before any processing and only processed further in anonymized form. The unabridged IP addresses are not stored or processed.

1.2 Geolocalization up to the level of federal states/regions

Geolocalization, i.e. the assignment of a website visit to the location of the visit, is carried out exclusively on the basis of the anonymized IP address and only up to the geographical level of the federal states/regions. Under no circumstances can the geographical information obtained in this way be used to draw conclusions about a user's specific place of residence.

1.3 Identification number of the device

The range measurement uses either a cookie with the identifier "ioam.de", a "Local Storage Object" or an anonymous signature, which is created from various automatically transmitted information from your browser, to recognize computer systems. The validity of the cookie is limited to a maximum of 1 year.

1.4 Login ID

To measure distributed use (use of a service from different devices), the user ID at login, if available, can be transmitted to INFOnline as an anonymized checksum.

2. deletion

The stored usage processes are deleted after 7 months at the latest.

3. objection

If you do not wish to participate in the measurement, you can object at the following link: https: //optout.ioam.de.

Further information on data protection in the measurement process can be found on the website of INFOnline GmbH ( https://www.infonline.de), which operates the measurement process, the data protection website of AGOF ( https://www.agof.de/datenschutz ) and the data protection website of IVW ( https://www.ivw.eu) .

(2) We use the SZM procedure to analyze and regularly improve the use of our website. We can use the statistics obtained to improve our offer and make it more interesting for you as a user. The legal basis for the use of the SZM procedure is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR.

§ 9 Social media

1. use of social media plug-ins

We currently do not use any social media plug-ins.

2. integration of Google Maps

(1) We use the Google Maps service on this website. This allows us to show you interactive maps directly on the website and enables you to use the map function conveniently.

(2) When you visit the website, Google receives the information that you have accessed the corresponding subpage of our website. In addition, the data mentioned under § 3 of this declaration will be transmitted. This takes place regardless of whether Google provides a user account through which you are logged in or whether no user account exists. If you are logged in to Google, your data will be assigned directly to your account. If you do not wish your data to be associated with your Google profile, you must log out before activating the button. Google stores your data as usage profiles and uses them for the purposes of advertising, market research and/or the needs-based design of its website. Such an evaluation is carried out in particular (even for users who are not logged in) to provide needs-based advertising and to inform other users of the social network about your activities on our website. You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles, whereby you must contact Google to exercise this right.

(3) Further information on the purpose and scope of data collection and its processing by the plug-in provider can be found in the provider's privacy policy. There you will also find further information on your rights in this regard and setting options to protect your privacy: https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy . Google also processes your personal data in the USA and has submitted to the EU-US Privacy Shield, https://www.privacyshield.gov/EU-US-Framework .

§ 10 Online advertising

1. use of Google Adwords Conversion

(1) We use Google Adwords to draw attention to our attractive offers on external websites with the help of advertising material (so-called Google Adwords). We can determine how successful the individual advertising measures are in relation to the advertising campaign data. In this way, we pursue the interest of showing you advertising that is of interest to you, making our website more interesting for you and achieving a fair calculation of advertising costs.

(2) These advertising materials are delivered by Google via so-called "ad servers". For this purpose, we use ad server cookies, through which certain parameters for measuring success, such as the display of ads or clicks by users, can be measured. If you access our website via a Google ad, Google Adwords will store a cookie on your PC. These cookies generally lose their validity after 30 days and are not intended to identify you personally. The unique cookie ID, number of ad impressions per placement (frequency), last impression (relevant for post-view conversions) and opt-out information (marking that the user no longer wishes to be addressed) are usually stored as analysis values for this cookie.

(3) These cookies enable Google to recognize your internet browser. If a user visits certain pages of an Adwords customer's website and the cookie stored on their computer has not yet expired, Google and the customer can recognize that the user clicked on the ad and was redirected to this page. A different cookie is assigned to each Adwords customer. Cookies can therefore not be tracked via the websites of Adwords customers. We ourselves do not collect and process any personal data in the aforementioned advertising measures. We only receive statistical evaluations from Google. Based on these evaluations, we can identify which of the advertising measures used are particularly effective. We do not receive any further data from the use of the advertising media; in particular, we cannot identify the users based on this information.

(4) Due to the marketing tools used, your browser automatically establishes a direct connection with the Google server. We have no influence on the scope and further use of the data collected by Google through the use of this tool and therefore inform you according to our level of knowledge: Through the integration of AdWords Conversion, Google receives the information that you have accessed the corresponding part of our website or clicked on an advertisement from us. If you are registered with a Google service, Google can assign the visit to your account. Even if you are not registered with Google or have not logged in, it is possible that the provider will find out your IP address and store it.

(5) You can prevent participation in this tracking process in various ways: a) by setting your browser software accordingly, in particular by suppressing third-party cookies so that you do not receive any ads from third-party providers; b) by deactivating cookies for conversion tracking by setting your browser to block cookies from the domain " www.googleadservices.com", https://adssettings.google.de/authenticated , whereby this setting will be deleted when you delete your cookies; c) by deactivating the interest-based ads of the providers that are part of the "About Ads" self-regulation campaign via the link https://optout.aboutads.info/?c=2〈=EN , whereby this setting will be deleted when you delete your cookies; d) by permanently deactivating them in your Firefox, Internet Explorer or Google Chrome browsers under the link https://www.google.com/settings/ads/plugin . We would like to point out that in this case you may not be able to use all functions of this website to their full extent.

(6) The legal basis for the processing of your data is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR. Further information on data protection at Google can be found here: https://www.google.com/intl/de/policies/privacy and https://services.google.com/sitestats/de.html . Alternatively, you can visit the website of the Network Advertising Initiative (NAI) at https://www.networkadvertising.org . Google has submitted to the EU-US Privacy Shield, https://www.privacyshield.gov/EU-US-Framework .

2. remarketing

In addition to Adwords Conversion, we use the Google Remarketing application, which is a process with which we would like to address you again. Through this application, our advertisements can be displayed to you when you continue to use the Internet after visiting our website. This is done by means of cookies stored in your browser, which are used by Google to record and evaluate your usage behavior when you visit various websites. This enables Google to determine your previous visit to our website. According to its own statements, Google does not merge the data collected in the context of remarketing with your personal data, which may be stored by Google. In particular, according to Google, pseudonymization is used in remarketing.

3 DoubleClick by Google

(1) This website also uses the online marketing tool DoubleClick by Google. DoubleClick uses cookies to display ads that are relevant to users, to improve campaign performance reports or to prevent a user from seeing the same ads more than once. Google uses a cookie ID to record which ads are displayed in which browser and can thus prevent them from being displayed more than once. In addition, DoubleClick can use cookie IDs to record so-called conversions that are related to ad requests. This is the case, for example, when a user sees a DoubleClick ad and later visits the advertiser's website with the same browser and makes a purchase there. According to Google, DoubleClick cookies do not contain any personal information.

(2) Due to the marketing tools used, your browser automatically establishes a direct connection with the Google server. We have no influence on the scope and further use of the data collected by Google through the use of this tool and therefore inform you according to our level of knowledge: Through the integration of DoubleClick, Google receives the information that you have accessed the corresponding part of our website or clicked on an advertisement from us. If you are registered with a Google service, Google can assign the visit to your account. Even if you are not registered with Google or have not logged in, it is possible that the provider will find out your IP address and store it.

(3) You can prevent participation in this tracking process in various ways: a) by setting your browser software accordingly, in particular by suppressing third-party cookies so that you do not receive any ads from third-party providers; b) by deactivating cookies for conversion tracking by setting your browser to block cookies from the domain " www.googleadservices.com", https://adssettings.google.de/authenticated , whereby this setting will be deleted if you delete your cookies; c) by deactivating the interest-based ads of the providers that are part of the "About Ads" self-regulation campaign via the link https://optout.aboutads.info/?c=2〈=EN , whereby this setting will be deleted if you delete your cookies; d) by permanently deactivating them in your Firefox, Internet Explorer or Google Chrome browsers under the link https://www.google.com/settings/ads/plugin . We would like to point out that in this case you may not be able to use all functions of this website to their full extent.

(4) The legal basis for the processing of your data is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR. Further information on DoubleClick by Google can be found at https://www.google.de/doubleclick and https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de , as well as on data protection at Google in general: https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy . Alternatively, you can visit the website of the Network Advertising Initiative (NAI) at https://www.networkadvertising.org . Google has submitted to the EU-US Privacy Shield, https://www.privacyshield.gov/EU-US-Framework .

4 Facebook Custom Audiences

(1) Furthermore, the website uses the remarketing function "Custom Audiences" of Facebook Inc ("Facebook"). This allows users of the website to be shown interest-based advertisements ("Facebook ads") when they visit the Facebook social network or other websites that also use the process. We are interested in showing you advertisements that are of interest to you in order to make our website more interesting for you.

(2) Due to the marketing tools used, your browser automatically establishes a direct connection with the Facebook server. We have no influence on the scope and further use of the data collected by Facebook through the use of this tool and therefore inform you according to our level of knowledge: Through the integration of Facebook Custom Audiences, Facebook receives the information that you have accessed the corresponding website of our Internet presence or have clicked on an advertisement from us. If you are registered with a Facebook service, Facebook can assign the visit to your account. Even if you are not registered with Facebook or have not logged in, there is a possibility that the provider will find out and store your IP address and other identifying features.

(3) The deactivation of the "Facebook Custom Audiences" function is possible for logged-in users at https://www.facebook.com/settings/?tab=ads#_.

(4) The legal basis for the processing of your data is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR. Further information on data processing by Facebook can be found at https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy .
