If you contact us via WhatsApp on the occasion of a specific transaction (for example, an order placed), we store and use the mobile phone number you use on WhatsApp and - if provided - your first and last name pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b. DSGVO to process and respond to your request. On the basis of the same legal basis, we may ask you to provide further data (order number, customer number, address or email address) via WhatsApp in order to be able to assign your request to a specific process.

https://www.google.com/settings/ads/plugin?hl=de

In order to address users whose data we have received in the context of business or business-like relationships in a more interest-oriented advertising manner, we use a customer matching function in the context of Google Ads. For this purpose, we transmit one or more files with aggregated customer data (primarily mail addresses and telephone numbers) electronically to Google. Google does not gain access to any clear data, but automatically encrypts the information in the customer files during the transmission process using a special algorithm. The encrypted information can then only be used by Google to assign it to existing Google accounts that the data subjects have set up. This enables personalized advertising to be played via all Google services linked to the respective Google account.

The transfer of customer data to Google will only take place if you have given us your express consent to do so in accordance with Art. 6 (1) a DSGVO. You can revoke this consent at any time with effect for the future. Further information on Google's data protection measures in relation to the customer matching function can be found here: https://support.google.com/google-ads/answer/6334160?hl=de&ref_topic=10550182
Google's data protection provisions can be viewed here: https://www.google.de/policies/privacy/

For data transfers to the USA, the provider has signed up to the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, which ensures compliance with the European level of data protection based on an adequacy decision by the European Commission .

10.4 Microsoft Advertising Universal Event Tracking

This website uses conversion tracking technology from the following provider: Microsoft Corporation, One Microsoft Way, Redmond, WA 98052-6399, USA

For the use of universal event tracking, each page of our website contains a tag that interacts with the conversion cookie set by Microsoft. This interaction makes user behavior on our website traceable and sends the information thus collected to Microsoft. The purpose of this is so that certain predefined goals, such as purchases or leads, can be statistically recorded and evaluated in order to make the orientation and content of our offers more interest-oriented. The tags do not serve to personally identify users at any time.

All processing described above, in particular the setting of cookies for the reading of 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) lit. a DSGVO. Without this consent, retargeting technology will not be used during your visit to the site.

You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future. To exercise your revocation, please deactivate this service in the "Cookie Consent Tool" provided on the website.

11) Site functionalities

11.1 Facebook plugins

Plugins of the social network of the following provider are used on our website: Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd, 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland

These plugins enable direct interactions with content on the social network.

To increase the protection of your data when visiting our website, the plugins are initially deactivated by means of so-called "2-click" or "Shariff" solution integrated into the page.

This integration ensures that when you call up a page of our website that contains such plugins, no connection is yet established with the provider's servers.

Only when you activate the plugins and thus give your consent to the data transfer in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. a DSGVO, your browser establishes a direct connection to the provider's servers. Here, independent of a login to an existing user profile, information about your used end device (including your IP address), your browser and your page history will be transmitted to the provider to a certain extent and processed there if necessary.

If you are logged into an existing user profile on the provider's social network, information about interactions carried out via the plugins will also be published there and displayed to your contacts.
You can revoke your consent at any time by deactivating the activated plugin by clicking on it again. However, the revocation does not affect the data that has already been transferred to the provider.

Data may also be transferred to: Meta Platforms Inc, USA

We have concluded an order processing agreement with the provider, which ensures the protection of our site visitors' data and prohibits unauthorized disclosure to third parties.

If playback of embedded videos is started via the plugin, the provider also uses cookies to collect information about user behavior, create playback statistics and prevent abusive behavior.

If you are logged into a user account with the provider during your visit to the site, your data will be directly assigned to your account when you click on a video. If you do not want the assignment to your account, you must log out before pressing the play button.

All of the aforementioned processing, in particular the setting of cookies for the reading of information on the end device used, will only take place if you have given us your express consent to do so in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a DSGVO. You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future by deactivating this service via the "Cookie Consent Tool" provided on the website.

The provider thereby receives the information that you have visited our site. The information collected in this respect (including your IP address, if applicable) is transmitted by your browser directly to a server of the provider and stored there. However, the information is not used to identify you personally and is not passed on to third parties.

These data processing operations are carried out in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO on the basis of our legitimate interest in a user-friendly and interactive design of our online presence.

We store and use the data transmitted by the provider to set up a user account with the necessary data (title, first name, last name, address data, country, email address, date of birth), provided you have released this to the provider. Conversely, data (e.g. information about your surfing or purchasing behavior) may be transferred from us to your account with the provider on the basis of your consent.

Google stores your data (even for users who are not logged in) as usage profiles and evaluates them.

You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles, whereby 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 the use of Google Maps, you also have the option of completely deactivating the Google Maps web service by turning off the JavaScript application in your browser.

By using the tool, all cookies/services requiring consent are only loaded if the respective user grants the corresponding consent by setting a check mark.
