3.5 Browser-Plugin

Furthermore, you can use a browser plug-in to prevent the information collected by cookies (including your IP address) from being sent to Google Inc. and used by Google Inc. The following link leads you to the corresponding plugin: tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en

We also advertise presences on our website on the social networks listed below. The integration takes place via a linked graphic of the respective network. The use of this linked graphic prevents the call to a website that has a social media application from automatically connecting to the respective server of the social network in order to display a graphic of the respective network itself. Only by clicking on the corresponding graphic is the user forwarded to the service of the respective social network.

After the forwarding of the user, information about the user is recorded by the respective network. It can not be ruled out that processing of the data collected in this way takes place in the USA.

These are initially data such as IP address, date, time and page visited. If the user is meanwhile logged into his user account of the respective network, the network operator may possibly assign the collected information of the specific visit of the user to the personal account of the user. If the user interacts via a “share” button of the respective network, this information can be stored in the user’s personal user account and possibly published. If the user wants to prevent the collected information from being directly assigned to his user account, he must log out before clicking on the graphic. It is also possible to configure the respective user account accordingly.

The security of the transmission is ensured by so-called standard contractual clauses, which guarantee that the processing of personal data is subject to a level of security that corresponds to that of the DSGVO. If the standard contractual clauses are not sufficient to establish an adequate level of security, your consent pursuant to Art. 49 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO can serve as a legal basis for the transfer to third countries.

We use the HubSpot service to also provide online forms. For this purpose we forward your data to HubSpot, which processes the data exclusively on our behalf. See privacy policy of “HubSpot”.

The security of the transfer is regularly assured by so-called standard contractual clauses, which ensure that the processing of personal data is subject to a level of security equivalent to that provided for in the DSGVO. If the standard contractual clauses are not sufficient to establish an adequate level of security, your acknowledgement of the data protection declaration in the contact forms is deemed to constitute consent within the meaning of Art. 49 para. 1 lit.a DSGVO, which justifies a data transfer to unsafe third countries.
