Deletion of data
The data processed by us will be deleted or restricted in its processing in accordance with Articles 17 and 18 GDPR. Unless expressly stated within the scope of this data protection declaration, the data stored by us will be deleted as soon as it is no longer required for its intended purpose and the deletion does not conflict with any statutory retention obligations.

With the confirmation you give us your consent according to Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR that we may use your personal data for the purpose of the desired newsletter dispatch.
When registering for the newsletter, in addition to the email address required for sending the newsletter, we store the IP address via which you have registered for the newsletter as well as the date and time of registration and confirmation so that we can trace any possible misuse at a later point in time.

Service provider: SendGrid, Inc.
Address: 1801 California Street, Suite 500, Denver, CO 80202, USA
Privacy policy: https://www.twilio.com/legal/privacy
Since there is a transfer of personal data to a third country (USA), further protection mechanisms are required to ensure the level of data protection of the GDPR. To ensure this, we have agreed standard data protection clauses with the provider in accordance with Art. 46 (2) lit. c GDPR. These oblige the recipient of the data in the third country to process the data in accordance with the level of protection in Europe. In cases where this cannot be ensured even by this contractual extension, we endeavor to obtain additional regulations and commitments from the recipient in the third country.
The service provider uses the information from the registration to send and statistically evaluate the e-mails on our behalf based on your consent pursuant to Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR. For the evaluation, the sent emails contain so-called web beacons or tracking pixels, which are single-pixel image files stored on our website. This makes it possible to determine whether an e-mail has been opened and which links, if any, have been clicked on. With the help of so-called conversion tracking, it can also be analyzed whether a predefined action has taken place after clicking on the link in an e-mail. In addition, technical information is recorded (e.g., time of retrieval, IP address, browser type and operating system). The data is collected exclusively pseudonymously and is not linked to your other personal data, a direct personal reference is excluded. This data is used exclusively for the statistical analysis. The results of these analyses can be used to better adapt future e-mails to the interests of the recipients.
If you wish to revoke your consent to data analysis for statistical evaluation purposes, you must unsubscribe from the e-mail delivery.

Hosting
This website is hosted by an external service provider (hoster). This website is hosted in Kiel. Personal data collected on this website is stored on the hoster's servers. This may include, but is not limited to, IP addresses, contact requests, meta and communication data, web page accesses and other data generated by a website.

Content-Delivery-Network Cloudflare
Our website uses the services of Cloudflare Inc. (USA) for secure encrypted data transmission on the Internet (SSL), to improve global website performance through the Cloudlflare Content Delivery Network (CDN) and to improve security and protect against hacker attacks through the Cloudflare Web Application Firewall (WAF). It is possible that Cloudflare uses its own cookies to provide these services.
Cloudflare generally only forwards that data which is controlled by website operators. The content is therefore not determined by Cloudflare, but always by the website operator itself. In addition, Cloudflare may collect certain information on the use of our website and process data that is sent by us or for which Cloudflare has received appropriate instructions. In most cases, Cloudflare receives data such as contact information, IP addresses, security fingerprints, DNS log data and website performance data derived from browser activity. Log data helps Cloudflare to detect new threats, for example. In this way, Cloudflare can ensure a high level of security protection for our website.
For security reasons, Cloudflare also uses a cookie. The cookie (__cfduid) is used to identify individual users behind a shared IP address and to apply security settings for each individual user. This cookie is absolutely necessary for Cloudflare's security features and cannot be disabled.
In general, Cloudflare stores user-level data for domains in the Free, Pro and Business versions for less than 24 hours. Cloudflare only retains data logs for as long as necessary and this data is also deleted within 24 hours in most cases. Cloudflare also does not store any personal data, such as your IP address. However, there is information that Cloudflare stores indefinitely as part of its permanent logs in order to improve the overall performance of Cloudflare Resolver and to identify any security risks.
To find out exactly what permanent logs are stored, please visit https://developers.cloudflare.com/1.1.1.1/commitment-to-privacy/privacy-policy/privacy-policy/. All data that Cloudflare collects (temporary or permanent) is scrubbed of any personally identifiable information. All permanent logs are also anonymised by Cloudflare.
You can also completely prevent all collection and processing of your data by Cloudflare by disabling the execution of script code in your browser or by including a script blocker in your browser.
As there is a transfer of personal data to the USA, further protection mechanisms are required to ensure the level of data protection of the GDPR. To ensure this, we have agreed standard data protection clauses with the provider in accordance with Art. 46 (2) lit. c GDPR. These oblige the recipient of the data in the USA to process the data in accordance with the level of protection in Europe. In cases where this cannot be ensured even through this contractual extension, we endeavour to obtain additional regulations and commitments from the recipient in the USA.
We have concluded an Data Processing Agreement with Cloudflare. You can find more detailed information about data protection and Cloudflare at: https://www.cloudflare.com/de-de/gdpr/introduction/
Criteo
We use online marketing services provided by Criteo GmbH 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) lit. f. GDPR), we use the online marketing services of the provider Criteo GmbH, Gewürzmühlstr. 11, 80538 Munich, Germany.
Criteo's services allow us to display advertisements for and on our website in a more targeted manner in order to present users only with ads that potentially match their interests. If, for example, a user is shown ads for products in which he or she has shown interest on other websites, this is referred to as "remarketing". For these purposes, when our website and other websites on which Criteo is active are called up, a code from Criteo is executed directly by Criteo and so-called (re)marketing tags (invisible graphics or code, also referred to 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 can also be used instead of cookies). This file records which web pages the user has visited, which content he or she is interested in and which offers he or she has clicked on, as well as technical information on the browser and operating system, referring web pages, time of visit and other information on the use of the online offer. Criteo may also combine the aforementioned information with information from other sources. If the user subsequently visits other websites, he or she can be shown ads tailored to his or her interests.
The processing of user data is pseudonymous, i.e. no clear user data (such as names) is processed and IP addresses of users are shortened. Processing only takes place on the basis of an online identifier, a technical ID. Any IDs (e.g. of a customer care system) or e-mail addresses provided to Criteo are encrypted and stored as a series of characters that do not allow identification.
For more information and to opt out of the collection of data by Criteo, please refer to Criteo's privacy policy: https://www.criteo.com/de/privacy/.
Google Ads
We use "Google Ads" on our website, a service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Google Building Gordon House, Barrow St, Dublin 4, Ireland (hereinafter referred to as "Google"). Google Ads is used by us for marketing and optimisation purposes, in particular to display ads that are relevant and interesting to you.
If you have given us your consent to do so in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR, we can use Google Ads to draw attention to our attractive offers by using advertising material on external websites. This enables us to determine how successful individual advertising measures are.
These advertising media is delivered by Google via so-called "AdServers". We use AdServer cookies for this purpose, through which certain parameters for measuring success, such as the display of the ads or clicks by users, can be measured.
If you reach our website via a Google ad, Google Ads will store a cookie on your PC. These cookies usually expire after 30 days. They are not intended to identify you personally. The following information is usually stored as analysis values for this cookie: Unique cookie ID, number of ad impressions per placement (frequency), last impression (relevant for post-view conversions), opt-out information (marking that the user no longer wishes to be contacted). These cookies enable Google to recognize your web browser. If a user visits certain pages of an ad client's website and the cookie stored on their computer has not expired, Google and the client will be able to tell that the user clicked on the ad and was redirected to that page. A different cookie is associated with each ad client. As a result, cookies cannot be tracked through the websites of ad clients. We ourselves do not collect and process any personal data in the advertising measures mentioned above. We only receive statistical evaluations from Google. By means of these evaluations we can recognize which of the advertising measures used are particularly effective. We do not receive any further data from the use of the advertising material, in particular we cannot identify the users on the basis of this information.
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 Google Ads. To the best of our knowledge, Google receives the information that you have called up the relevant part of our website or clicked on an advertisement from us. If you have a user account with Google and are registered, Google can assign the visit to your user account. Even if you are not registered with Google or have not logged in, there is a possibility that Google will find out and save your IP address.
Since a transfer of personal data to the U.S. takes place, further appropriate safeguards are required to ensure the level of data protection under the GDPR. To guarantee this, we have concluded standard contractual clauses with the provider in accordance with Art. 46 (2) lit. c GDPR. These oblige the recipient of the data in the U.S. to process the data according to the level of protection in Europe. In cases in which this cannot be guaranteed even by this contractual extension, we endeavour to obtain additional regulations and commitments from the recipient in the U.S.

Google Tag Manager
This website uses the Google Tag Manager of Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland ("Google"). This service allows website tags to be managed through an interface. The Google Tag Manager only implements tags. This means that no cookies are used and only the user's IP address is transmitted to Google to establish a connection. The Google Tag Manager triggers other tags, which in turn may collect data. However, the Google Tag Manager does not access this data. If a deactivation has been made on domain or cookie level, it will remain for all tracking tags as long as they are implemented with the Google Tag Manager.
We use the Google Tag Manager on the basis of our legitimate interest under Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR. Our legitimate interest here is to enable the technical integration of other website tools.
Since a transfer of personal data (IP address) to the U.S. takes place, further appropriate safeguards are required to ensure the level of data protection under the GDPR. To guarantee this, we have concluded standard contractual clauses with the provider in accordance with Art. 46 (2) lit. c GDPR. These oblige the recipient of the data in the U.S. to process the data according to the level of protection in Europe. In cases in which this cannot be guaranteed even by this contractual extension, we endeavour to obtain additional regulations and commitments from the recipient in the U.S.

Facebook-Pixel and Conversion
We use "Facebook Pixel" on our website, a service of Facebook Inc, 1601 S California Ave, Palo Alto, California 94304, USA (hereinafter referred to as: "Facebook").
Provided you have given us your consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR, we use Facebook Pixel for marketing and optimisation purposes, in particular to place relevant and interesting advertisements on Facebook and thus improve our offer, make it more interesting for you as a user and avoid annoying advertisements.
Facebook Pixel enables Facebook to display our ads on Facebook, so-called "Facebook Ads" only to those Facebook users who were visitors to our website, in particular those who showed interest in our online offer. In this case, Facebook Pixel also enables us to check whether a user was redirected to our website after clicking on our Facebook Ads. Among other things, Facebook Pixel uses cookies, i.e. small text files that are stored locally in the cache of your web browser on your end device. If you are logged into Facebook with your user account, the visit to our online offer will be noted in your user account. The data collected about you is anonymous to us, so we cannot draw any conclusions about the identity of the user. However, this data can be linked by Facebook with your user account there. If you have a user account on Facebook and are registered, Facebook can assign the visit to your user account.
As a transfer of personal data to the USA takes place, further protective mechanisms are required to ensure the level of data protection under the GDPR. In order to guarantee this, we have agreed standard data protection clauses with the provider in accordance with Art. 46 (2) lit. c GDPR. These clauses oblige the recipient of the data in the USA to process the data in accordance with the level of protection in Europe. In cases in which this cannot be guaranteed even by this contractual extension, we will endeavour to obtain additional regulations and commitments from the recipient in the USA.
Further information on data protection from the third party provider can be found on the following Facebook website: https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy.

Facebook Custom Audiences
We use "Facebook Custom Audiences" on our website, a remarketing tool of Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour Dublin 2, Ireland (hereinafter referred to as "Facebook"). Facebook Custom Audiences enables us to display interest-based advertisements, so-called "Facebook Ads", to visitors to our website as part of a visit to the social network Facebook or as part of a visit to other websites that also use Facebook Custom Audiences.
By using "Facebook Custom Audiences" your web 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 Facebook Custom Audiences. To the best of our knowledge, Facebook receives the information that you have called up the relevant part of our website or clicked on an advertisement from us. If you have a user account with Facebook and are registered, Facebook can assign the visit to your user account. Even if you are not registered with Facebook or have not logged in, it is possible that Facebook will find out and store your IP address and, if necessary, other identifying features.
We use Facebook Custom Audiences for marketing and optimization purposes, in particular to display ads that are relevant and interesting for you and thus improve our offer and make it more interesting for you as a user. The legal basis is Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR (consent).
We have concluded a Data Processing Agreement with our service provider Facebook in which we commit Facebook to protect our customers' data and not to pass it on to third parties.
Since a transfer of personal data to the U.S. takes place, further appropriate safeguards are required to ensure the level of data protection under the GDPR. To guarantee this, we have concluded standard contractual clauses with the provider in accordance with Art. 46 (2) lit. c GDPR. These oblige the recipient of the data in the U.S. to process the data according to the level of protection in Europe. In cases in which this cannot be guaranteed even by this contractual extension, we endeavour to obtain additional regulations and commitments from the recipient in the U.S.
For more information about Facebook’s privacy practices, please visit the following Facebook website: https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy
The deactivation of Facebook Custom Audiences is possible for logged-in users at https://www.facebook.com/settings/?tab=ads#_.

Facebook Conversions API
We use “Conversions API” on our website, a service provided by Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd, 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour Dublin 2, Ireland (hereinafter referred to as: “Meta/Facebook”).
If you have given us your consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR, we use Conversions API for marketing and optimization purposes, in particular to place relevant and interesting ads for you on Facebook.
How Conversions API works:
Conversions API is an interface through which we can send tracking and event data to Meta. Conversions API enables Meta to display our ads on Facebook, so-called “Facebook ads”, only to those Facebook users who have visited our website, in particular those who have shown interest in our online products and services. In this case, Conversions API also makes it possible to check whether a user was redirected to our website after clicking on our Facebook ads.
Processed data:
Conversions API processes personal identifiers such as the IP address and other personal data generated during your website visit (product views, purchases, shopping carts, etc.). In addition, so-called http header information is also processed, e.g. which browser you are using. If you have a Facebook user account, it is generally possible for Meta to link this information to you personally. However, this does not allow us to draw any conclusions about your identity. In addition, “ interface data” may be processed; this refers to information about your interaction with our website, e.g. the opening of subpages or the use of a shopping cart.
Purposes:
• For marketing purposes, we pass on button click data (see above) to Meta so that Meta can provide us with measurement and analysis services. We use these to optimize our website.
• We also transmit personal contact information in this context. Meta matches this with Facebook user IDs and combines this with information about your use of our website. This helps us to optimize our advertisements.
Information that can identify you is only passed on to Meta in the form of a “hash”. This is an identifier determined by mathematical methods (from the above-mentioned information about you), which on the one hand enables Meta to compare the information, but on the other hand cannot be assigned to you without the use of additional information, or only with great effort.
In this context, Meta processes data on our behalf.
Joint data processing with Meta:
In addition, we use Meta Custom Audiences for the purpose of carrying out advertising campaigns tailored to specific target groups. In doing so, we transmit click data to Meta. The provider Meta supports us by creating target groups based on other such button click data that it has about its users. We are jointly responsible with Meta for the collection, transmission and use of this data. We or Meta are solely responsible for all further data processing.
We have concluded an agreement with Meta that regulates the responsibility for the fulfillment of data protection obligations in joint data processing. This agreement stipulates, among other things, that we are obliged to inform you about this data processing in accordance with Art. 13, 14 GDPR. Meta, on the other hand, is responsible for fulfilling your claims arising from your rights under Art. 15 - 20 GDPR (e.g.: right to information and deletion). If we receive a corresponding request, we will forward it to Meta. Further information on this can be found at https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy .
Transfers to third countries:
Meta will transfer your personal data to recipients in countries outside the EEA, in particular to its parent company Meta Platforms, Inc. For these transfers, there is an adequacy decision of the EU Commission (Art. 45 para. 1 GDPR) in accordance with the so-called EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework. If, in certain cases, there is no valid adequacy decision or data is transferred to third countries without an adequate level of data protection, we have also agreed standard data protection clauses with the provider in accordance with Art. 46 para. 2 lit. c GDPR. These oblige the recipient of the data in the third country to process the data in accordance with the level of protection in Europe.
Further information on data transfers at Meta can be found at: https://www.facebook.com/legal/EU_data_transfer_addendum/update
Further information from the third-party provider on data protection can be found on the following Facebook website: https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy.

Microsoft Bing Ads
On our pages, we use the conversion tracking of Microsoft Corporation, One Microsoft Way, Redmond, WA 98052-6399, USA.
If you have given us your consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR, Microsoft Bing Ads will store a cookie on your computer if you have accessed our website via a Microsoft Bing advertisement. In this way, Microsoft Bing and we can recognise that someone has clicked on an ad, been redirected to our website and reached a previously determined target page (conversion page). We only learn the total number of users who clicked on a Bing ad and were then redirected to the conversion page. No personal information about the identity of the user is disclosed.
We have concluded an order processing agreement with the service provider in which we oblige them to protect our customers' data and not to pass it on to third parties.
As a transfer of personal data to the USA takes place, further protection mechanisms are required to ensure the level of data protection of the GDPR. To ensure this, we have agreed standard data protection clauses with the provider in accordance with Art. 46 (2) lit. c GDPR. These oblige the recipient of the data in the USA to process the data in accordance with the level of protection in Europe. In cases where this cannot be ensured by this contractual extension, we will endeavour to obtain additional regulations and commitments from the recipient in the USA.
If you do not want information about your behaviour to be used by Microsoft as explained above, you can refuse the setting of a cookie required for this - for example, by means of a browser setting that generally deactivates the automatic setting of cookies. You can also prevent the collection of data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website, as well as the processing of this data by Microsoft, by clicking on the following link: https://account.microsoft.com/privacy/ad-settings/signedout?lang=de-DE to declare your objection.
Further information on data protection and the cookies used by Microsoft and Bing Ads can be found on the Microsoft website at https://privacy.microsoft.com/de-de/privacystatement.
Online presence in social media
We maintain online presences within social networks and platforms in order to be able to communicate with the customers, interested parties and users active there and to inform them about our services there. When calling up the respective networks and platforms, the terms and conditions and data processing guidelines of their respective operators apply.
Unless otherwise stated in our privacy policy, we process the data of users if they communicate with us within the social networks and platforms, e.g. write posts on our online presences or send us messages.
Google Fonts
This site uses so-called web fonts provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland ("Google") for the uniform display of fonts. Google Web Fonts enables us to use external fonts, so-called Google Fonts. The integration of these web fonts is carried out locally by our server.
As a transfer of personal data to the USA takes place, further protection mechanisms are required to ensure the level of data protection of the GDPR. To ensure this, we have agreed standard data protection clauses with the provider in accordance with Art. 46 (2) lit. c GDPR. These oblige the recipient of the data in the USA to process the data in accordance with the level of protection in Europe. In cases where this cannot be ensured by this contractual extension, we endeavour to obtain additional regulations and assurances from the recipient in the USA.
We use Google Web Fonts for optimisation purposes, in particular to improve the use of our website for you and to make its design more user-friendly. This is also our legitimate interest according to Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR.
Further information on data protection can be found in Google's data protection declaration: http://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy.
Further information on Google Web Fonts can be found at http://www.google.com/webfonts/, https://developers.google.com/fonts/faq?hl=de-DE&csw=1 and https://www.google.com/fonts#AboutPlace:about.
Google ReCaptcha
On this website we also use the reCAPTCHA function of Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland ("Google"). This function is primarily used to distinguish whether an entry is made by a natural person or is abused by machine and automated processing. The service includes the sending of the IP address and, if applicable, further data required by Google for the reCAPTCHA service to Google and is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest in determining individual personal responsibility on the Internet and the prevention of abuse and spam. The use of Google reCAPTCHA may also involve the transmission of personal data to the servers of Google LLC. in the USA.
Further information on Google reCAPTCHA and Google's privacy policy can be found at: https://www.google.com/intl/de/policies/privacy/.
Microsoft Clarity
On our website we use Microsoft Clarity, a service of Microsoft Corporation, One Microsoft Way, Redmond, WA 98052-6399, USA. “Microsoft Clarity" is a Microsoft procedure in which analysis is carried out on the basis of a pseudonymous user ID, such as the evaluation of performance data for certain designs and mouse movements on the website. The analysed data should be used to be able to send you personalised and interest-based advertising on the basis of the user profile created, as well as to carry out conversion and reach measurement. The settings of Clarity are configured in such a way that the data collection by Microsoft already takes place via so-called IP-masking in pseudonymised form. The data processing is based on your consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 a) GDPR. The following data is processed in pseudonymised form: • Usage data (page visited, time of access) • Device information • IP address • location data • Movement data (mouse and scroll movements)
Since a transfer of personal data by Microsoft to affiliates and sub-processors to countries outside the EU and EEA is possible, further appropriate safeguards are required to ensure the level of data protection under the GDPR. For the U.S., there is an adequacy decision of the EU Commission pursuant to Art. 45 (1) GDPR regarding companies with certification under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework. Microsoft Corporation is certified under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework and is therefore committed to compliance with adequate data protection standards, which can be verified via the following link: https://www.dataprivacyframework.gov/s/participant-search. For potential transfers to other countries outside the EU and the EEA, for which no adequacy decision of the EU Commission exists, we have concluded standard contractual clauses with the provider in accordance with Art. 46 (2) lit. c GDPR. These oblige the recipient of the data in the country outside the EU to process the data in accordance with the level of protection in Europe. You can find more information on data protection and the cookies used at Microsoft on the Microsoft website at https://privacy.microsoft.com/de-de/privacystatement.
