8.4 Electronic Right of Withdrawal Function for Distance Contracts
Consumers who conclude contracts on this website for which a statutory right of withdrawal
exists have the option to declare their withdrawal via an electronic withdrawal
function, in accordance with the applicable withdrawal provisions.
To provide this electronic withdrawal function, we utilize a solution provided by the following

This information is initially collected by the service provider—based on our legitimate
interest in providing a user-friendly, stable, and process-optimized solution pursuant to
Art. 6 (1) point f GDPR—and is subsequently used to confirm receipt of the withdrawal
declaration on our behalf via email, before finally being transmitted to us. We subsequently
process the transmitted information for the proper handling of the withdrawal
pursuant to Art. 6 (1) point b GDPR and Art. 6 (1) point c GDPR, based on our statutory
obligation to provide an electronic withdrawal function for remunerated distance contracts
with consumers.
The information collected by the service provider is routinely deleted following the final
processing of a withdrawal, provided that no statutory retention obligations preclude
such deletion.

This website uses the software-based marketing service of the following provider for the
provision and synchronisation of various customer management services: WordWatch,

This service enables the automated processing of feed activities, the control of advertising in the marketing channels used and the analysis of the success of marketing measures,
as well as central e-mail marketing and contact management.
To fulfil the various functions, cookies are used, i.e. small text files that are stored locally
in the cache of your web browser on your end device and that enable an analysis of your
use of the website by us. In doing so, the cookies collect certain information, such as the
IP address, the location, the time of the page access.
All of the processing described above, in particular the setting of cookies to read information
from the end device used, will only be carried out if you have given us your
express consent to this in accordance with Art. 6 (1) point a GDPR. You can revoke your
consent at any time with effect for the future by deactivating this service in the „cookie
consent tool“ provided on the website.
Other legal bases for data processing that apply in the context of specific service functions
(such as the requirement for express consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) point a
GDPR when sending newsletters) remain unaffected by this.
We have concluded an order processing agreement with the provider, which ensures the
protection of our website visitors‘ data and prohibits unauthorised disclosure to third
parties.
For the transfer of data to the USA, the provider relies on standard contractual clauses
of the European Commission, which are meant to ensure compliance with the European
level of data protection.

10) Web Analysis Services
Google Analytics 4
This website uses Google Analytics 4, a service provided by Google Ireland Limited,
Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland („Google“), which can be used to
analyze the use of websites.
When using Google Analytics 4, so-called „cookies“ are used as standard. Cookies are
text files that are stored on your terminal device and enable an analysis of your use of a
website. The information collected by cookies about your use of the website (including
the IP address transmitted by your terminal device, shortened by the last digits, see below)
is usually transmitted to a Google server and stored and processed there. This may
also result in the transmission of information to the servers of Google LLC, a company
based in the USA, where the information is further processed.
When using Google Analytics 4, the IP address transmitted by your terminal device when
you use the website is always collected and processed by default and automatically only
in an anonymized manner, so that a direct personal reference of the collected information
is excluded. This automatic anonymization is carried out by shortening the IP address
transmitted by your terminal device by Google within member states of the European
Union (EU) or other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area
(EEA) by the last digits.
On our behalf, Google uses this and other information to evaluate your use of the website,
to compile reports (reports) on your website activities or your usage behavior and to
provide us with other services related to your website usage and internet usage. In this
context, the IP address transmitted and shortened by your terminal device within the
scope of Google Analytics 4 will not be merged with other data from Google. The data
collected in the context of the use of Google Analytics 4 will be retained for 2 months
and then deleted.
Google Analytics 4 also enables the creation of statistics with statements about age,
gender and interests of website users on the basis of an evaluation of interest-based
advertising and with the involvement of third-party information via a special function, the
so-called „demographic characteristics“. This makes it possible to determine and distinguish
between groups of website users for the purpose of targeting marketing measures.
However, data collected via the „demographic characteristics“ cannot be assigned to a
specific person and thus not to you personally. This data collected via the „demographic
characteristics“ function is retained for two months and then deleted.
All processing described above, in particular the setting of Google Analytics cookies for
the storage and reading of information on the terminal device used by you for the use
of the website, will only take place if you have given us your express consent for this in
accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 letter a GDPR. Without your consent, Google Analytics 4
will not be used during your use of the website.
You can revoke your consent once given at any time with effect for the future. To exercise
your revocation, please deactivate this service via the „Cookie Consent Tool“ provided
on the website.
Google Signals
On this website, the „Google Signals“ service can also be used as an extension of Google
Analytics 4. With Google Signals, cross-device reports can be created by Google
(so-called „cross-device tracking“). If you have activated „personalised ads“ in your
Google account settings and you have linked your internet-enabled devices to your Google
account, Google can analyse user behaviour across devices and create database models
based on this, provided you have given your consent to the use of Google Analytics
in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 letter a GDPR (see above). The logins and device types
of all page visitors who were logged into a Google account and performed a conversion
are taken into account. The data shows, among other things, on which device you first
clicked on an ad and on which device the associated conversion took place. Insofar as
Google Signals is used, we do not receive any personal data from Google, but only statistics
compiled on the basis of Google Signals. You have the option of deactivating the
„personalised ads“ function in the settings of your Google account and thus turning
off the cross-device analysis. To do this, follow the instructions on this page: https://
support.google.com/ads/answer/2662922?hl=de
Further information can be found here: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/
7532985?hl=de
User IDs
As an extension of Google Analytics 4, the „UserIDs“ function can also be used on this
website. By assigning individual UserIDs, we can have Google create cross-device reports
(so-called „cross-device tracking“). This means that your usage behaviour can
also be analysed across devices if you have given your corresponding consent to the
use of Google Analytics in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 letter a GDPR, if you have set
up a personal account by registering on this website and are logged into your personal
account on different end devices with your relevant login data. The data collected in this way shows, among other things, on which end device you clicked on an ad for the first
time and on which end device the relevant conversion took place.
We have concluded a so-called data processing agreement with Google for our use of
Google Analytics 4, by which Google is obliged to protect the data of our website users
and not to pass it on to third parties.
For data transfers to the USA, the provider participates in the EU-US Data Privacy Framework,
which ensures compliance with the European level of data protection on the basis
of an adequacy decision by the European Commission.
Further legal information on Google Analytics 4 can be found here: https://policies.google.
com/privacy?hl=en and https://business.safety.google/privacy/

from websites can be found here: https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites
11) Retargeting/Remarketing/ Referral Advertising
11.1 Meta Pixel with extended data synchronisation
Within our online offering, we use the „Meta Pixel“ service of the following provider in
extended data synchronisation mode: Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal
Square, Dublin 2, Ireland („Meta“)
If a user clicks on an advert placed by us on Facebook or Instagram, „Meta Pixel“ is used
to add a parameter to the URL of our linked page. This URL parameter is then entered in
the user‘s browser after redirection by a cookie that our linked page sets itself. In addition,
this cookie collects specific customer data, such as the email address, which we
collect on our website linked to the Facebook or Instagram ad during processes such as
purchase transactions, account logins or registrations (extended data synchronisation).
The cookie is then read and enables the data, including specific customer data, to be
transmitted to Meta.
We use „Meta Pixel“ with extended data matching to make our adverts (so-called „Ads“)
on Facebook and/or Instagram more effective and to ensure that they correspond to
the interests of users or have certain characteristics (e.g. interests in certain topics or
products determined on the basis of the websites visited), which we transmit to Meta
(so-called „Custom Audiences“).
In addition, we analyse the effectiveness of our advertisements by tracking whether
users were redirected to our website after clicking on an advertisement (conversion).
Compared to the standard version of „Meta Pixel“, the extended data synchronisation
function helps us to better measure the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns by
recording more associated conversions.
All transmitted data is stored and processed by Meta so that an assignment to the
respective user profile is possible and Meta can use the data for its own advertising
purposes in accordance with Meta‘s data usage guidelines (https://www.facebook.com/
about/privacy/). The data may enable Meta and its partners to place adverts on and off
Facebook.
All processing described above, in particular the setting of cookies for reading information
on the terminal device used, will only be carried out if you have given us your express
consent to do so in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. You can revoke your
consent at any time with effect for the future by deactivating this service in the „cookie
consent tool“ provided on the website.
We have concluded an order processing contract with the provider, which ensures the
protection of the data of our website visitors and prohibits unauthorised disclosure to
third parties.
The information generated by Meta is usually transferred to a Meta server and stored there;
in this context, it may also be transferred to servers of Meta Platforms Inc. in the USA.
For data transfers to the USA, the provider has joined the EU-US Data Privacy Framework,
which ensures compliance with the European level of data protection on the basis
of an adequacy decision by the European Commission.
11.2 Google Ads Conversion-Tracking
This website uses the online advertising program „Google Ads“ and, within the framework
of Google Ads, the conversion tracking of Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House,
4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland („Google“). We use Google Ads to draw attention
to our attractive offers on external websites with the help of advertising media (so-called
Google Adwords). We can determine how successful the individual advertising measures
are in relation to the data of the advertising campaigns. Our aim is to show you advertising
that is of interest to you, to make our website more interesting for you and to
achieve a fair calculation of the advertising costs incurred.
The conversion tracking cookie is set when a user clicks on an ad placed by Google.
Cookies are small text files that are stored on your end device. These cookies usually
lose their validity after 30 days and are not used for personal identification. If the user visits
certain pages of this website and the cookie has not yet expired, Google and we can
recognize that the user clicked on the ad and was redirected to this page. Each Google
Ads customer receives a different cookie. Cookies cannot therefore be tracked across
Google Ads clients‘ websites. The information obtained using the conversion cookie is
used to create conversion statistics for Google Ads customers who have opted in to conversion
tracking. Clients learn the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were
redirected to a page tagged with a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not receive
any information that can be used to personally identify users. The use of Google Ads may
also result in the transmission of personal data to the servers of Google LLC. in the USA.
Details on the processing triggered by Google Ads Conversion Tracking and on Google‘s
handling of data from websites can be found here: https://policies.google.com/technologies/
partner-sites.
All of the processing described above, in particular the setting of cookies for reading
out information on the end device used, will only be carried out if you have given us
your express consent to do so in accordance with Art. 6 (1) a GDPR. You can revoke your
consent at any time with effect for the future by deactivating this service in the „Cookie
Consent Tool“ provided on the website.
You can also permanently object to the setting of cookies by Google Ads conversion
tracking by downloading and installing the Google browser plug-in available at the following
link:
https://www.google.com/settings/ads/plugin?hl=en
Please note that certain functions of this website may not be available or may be restricted
if you have deactivated the use of cookies.
Further information on Google‘s privacy standards can be found here: https://policies.
google.com/privacy and https://business.safety.google/privacy/
For data transfers to the USA, the provider participates in the EU-US Data Privacy Framework,
which ensures compliance with the European level of data protection on the basis
of an adequacy decision by the European Commission.
11.3 shopping24 Conversion Tracking
This website uses the conversion tracking technology of the following provider: shopping24
Gesellschaft für multimediale Anwendungen mbH, Poßmoorweg 2
22301 Hamburg, Germany
If you have accessed our website from an advertisement on the provider‘s domain, the
success of the advertisement can be tracked with the help of cookies and/or comparable
technologies (tracking pixels, web beacons, pings, or HTTP requests).
For this purpose, certain end device and browser information, including your IP address
if applicable, is read via the tracking technology in order to record and evaluate user
actions predefined by us (e.g., completed transactions, leads, search queries on the website,

interactive (country) maps in order to display geographical information visually. Using
this service will show you our location and will make it easier for you to find us.
When you access the sub-pages that contain the Google Maps map, information about
your use of our website (such as your IP address) is transmitted to and stored by Google
on servers. When using Google Maps, personal data may also be transmitted to the
servers of Google LLC. in the USA. This is regardless of whether Google provides a user
account that you are logged in with or whether no user account exists. If you are logged
in to Google, your information will be directly associated with your account. If you do not
wish to be associated with your profile on Google, you must log out before activating the
button. Google saves your data (even for users who are not logged in) as usage profiles
and evaluates them. Such an evaluation takes place according to Art. 6 (1) point f GDPR,
on the basis of the legitimate interests of Google in the insertion of personalized advertising,
market research and/or demand-oriented design of its website. You have the right
to object to the creation of these user profiles. If you want to do so, you must contact
Google to exercise this right.
If you do not agree to the future transmission of your data to Google in the context of
using Google Maps, you may completely deactivate the Google Maps web service by
switching off the JavaScript application in your browser. In this case, Google Maps as
well as the map display on this website cannot be used.

to Google via the functionality of ReCaptcha.
The service checks whether an input is made by a natural person or abusively by machine
and automated processing with the aim of blocking spam, DDoS attacks and similar

being and not by an automated bot, the provider collects the IP address of the end device
used, the recognition data of the browser, the operating system type and the date and

this service in the ‘cookie consent tool’ provided on the website. If the processing described above is carried out without the use of cookies, the legal
basis is our legitimate interest in determining individual responsibility on the Internet

of our site visitors‘ data and prohibiting unauthorized disclosure to third parties.

On our website, we advertise current vacancies in a separate section, for which interested
parties can apply by e-mail using the contact address provided.

personal details required for a well-founded and informed assessment and selection in
conjunction with their application by e-mail.
The required data should include general personal information (name, address, telephone
or electronic contact) as well as performance-specific evidence showing the qualifications
required for the advertised position. In addition, health-related information may
be required, which in the interest of social protection must be given special attention to

The components an application must contain to be considered and the form in which these
components must be sent by e-mail can be found in the respective job advertisement.
After receipt of the application sent using the e-mail contact address supplied, the applicant
data will be stored by us and evaluated exclusively for the purpose of processing the
application. In the event of queries arising in the course of processing the application,
we will use either the e-mail address supplied by the applicant with his application or a
telephone number supplied, at our discretion.
The legal basis for such processing, including the contacting of applicants for queries,
is basically Art. 6 (1) point b GDPR in conjunction with Art. 26 (1) Federal Data Protection
Act. According to these provisions, the completion of the application procedure is
deemed to be the initiation of an employment contract.
If special categories of personal data within the meaning of Art. 9 (1) GDPR (e.g. health
data such as information on severely disabled status) are requested from applicants as
part of the application procedure, processing will take place in accordance with Art. 9
(2) point b GDPR, so as to enable us to exercise the rights arising from labor law, social
security and social protection law and to fulfil our obligations in this regard.
The processing of special categories of data may also be based cumulatively or alternatively
on Art. 9 (1) point h GDPR if it is used for the purposes of health care or occupational
medicine, for the assessment of the applicant‘s ability to work, for medical diagnostics,
health or social care or for the management of systems and services in the health or
social sector.
If, in the course of the evaluation described above, the applicant is not selected or if an
applicant withdraws his application prematurely, his data transmitted by e-mail as well
as all electronic correspondence including the original application e-mail will be deleted
at the latest after 6 months following a corresponding notification. This period shall be
determined on the basis of our legitimate interest in being able to answer any follow-up
questions regarding the application and, if necessary, to comply with our obligation to
provide evidence under the regulations governing the equal treatment of applicants.
In the event of a successful application, the data provided will be processed on the basis
of Art. 6 (1) point b GDPR in conjunction with Art. 26 (2) Federal Data Protection Act for
the purposes of implementing the employment relationship.
13) Tools and Miscellaneous
13.1 This website uses a so-called „cookie consent tool“ to obtain effective user consent
for cookies and cookie-based applications that require consent. The „cookie consent
tool“ is displayed to users in the form of an interactive user interface when they access
the page, on which consent for certain cookies and/or cookie-based applications can be
given by ticking the appropriate box.
Using the tool, all cookies/services requiring consent are only loaded if the respective
user provides the corresponding consent by ticking the corresponding box. This ensures
that such cookies are only set on the respective end device of the user if consent
has been granted.
The tool sets technically necessary cookies to save your cookie preferences. Personal
user data is generally not processed.
If, in individual cases, personal data (such as the IP address) is processed for the purpose
of storing, assigning or logging cookie settings, this is done in accordance with Art. 6
(1) point f GDPR based on our legitimate interest in legally compliant, user-specific and
user-friendly consent management for cookies and thus in a legally compliant design
of our website.
Further legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 (1) point c GDPR. As the responsible party,
we are subject to the legal obligation to make the use of technically unnecessary cookies
dependent on the respective user consent.
Further information on the operator and the setting options of the cookie consent tool
can be found directly in the corresponding user interface on our website.
13.2 Wordfence
For security purposes, this website uses the service of the following provider: Defiant
Inc, 800 5th Ave Ste 4100, Seattle, WA 98104, USA
The provider protects the website and the associated IT infrastructure from unauthorised
third-party access, cyber attacks and viruses and malware. The provider collects
the IP addresses of users and, if necessary, further data on their behaviour on our website
(in particular URLs accessed and header information) in order to detect and defend
against illegitimate page accesses and dangers. In doing so, the collected IP address
is compared with a list of known attackers. If the captured IP address is identified as a
security risk, the provider can automatically block it from accessing the website. The information
collected in this way is transferred to a server of the provider and stored there.
The described data processing is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 (1) point f GDPR
on the basis of our legitimate interests in protecting the website from harmful cyber
attacks and in maintaining structural and data integrity and security.
If visitors to the website have login rights, the provider also sets cookies (= small text files)
on the respective end device used by the visitor. With the help of the cookies, certain
location and device information can be read, which makes it possible to assess whether
the login-authorised access originates from an authorised person. At the same time, access
rights can be evaluated via the cookies and released via a website-internal firewall
according to the authorisation level. Finally, the cookies are used to register irregular
access by website administrators from new devices or new locations and to notify other
administrators of this. These cookies are only set if a user has login rights. The provider
does not set cookies for website visitors without login authorisation. Insofar as personal
data is processed via the cookies, the processing is carried out in accordance with Art.
6 (1) point f GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest in preventing illegitimate access
to the website administration and in the defence against unauthorised administrator access.
We have concluded an order processing agreement with the provider, which ensures the
protection of our website visitors‘ data and prohibits unauthorised disclosure to third
parties. For the transfer of data to the USA, the provider invokes standard contractual clauses of
the European Commission, which are intended to ensure compliance with the European
level of data protection.
