IV. Data security

When you visit our website, we use the widespread secure socket layer (SSL) protocol in conjunction with the highest level of encryption supported by your browser. This is generally 256-bit encryption. If your browser does not support 256-bit encryption, we use 128-bit SSL v3 encryption instead. You can tell if a specific page of our website is transferred in encrypted form by the closed key or padlock icon in your browser address bar. In all other respects, we use suitable technical and organisational security measures to protect your data against accidental or deliberate manipulation, partial or total loss, destruction or unauthorised access by third parties. Our security measures are continually improved in line with technological developments.

Further details can be provided voluntarily.

VI. Google reCAPTCHA

We use “Google reCAPTCHA” (hereinafter “reCAPTCHA”) on our websites. This service is provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Irland (parent company: Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheater Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (“Google”); website: https://www.google.com/recaptcha/). reCAPTCHA is used to check whether the data entered on our website (such as on a contact form) has been entered by a human or by an automated program. This is mainly used to differentiate whether an input is made by a natural person or improperly by machine and automated processing. To do this, reCAPTCHA analyzes the behavior of the website visitor based on various characteristics. This analysis starts automatically as soon as the website visitor enters the website. For the analysis, reCAPTCHA evaluates various information (e.g. IP address, how long the visitor has been on the website, or mouse movements made by the user). The data collected during the analysis will be forwarded to Google. The reCAPTCHA analyses take place completely in the background. Website visitors are not advised that such an analysis is taking place. Data processing is based on Art. 6 (1) (f) DSGVO. The website operator has a legitimate interest in protecting its site from abusive automated crawling and spam. For more information about Google’s privacy policy, please visit the following links: https://www.google.com/intl/de/policies/privacy/.

VII. Use of Google Maps

Use of our route planner is subject to the provider’s privacy policy. We use the free Google Maps service to provide you with user-friendly route planning. For the provider’s terms of service, please see here: https://www.google.com/intl/en_US/help/terms_maps.html

VIII. Social plugins

On the basis of Article 6 para. 1 lit. f of the GDPR, we use social plugins provided by the social networks listed below to make our company better known by this means. You can recognise the plugins by the fact that they are marked with the corresponding logo. Information, which may also include personal data, may be sent to the service provider via these plugins and may be used by the service provider. We prevent the unconscious and unintentional collection and transmission of data to the service provider by using a 2-click solution. To activate a desired social plugin, it must first be activated by clicking on the corresponding button. Only this activation of the plugin also triggers the collection of information and its transmission to the service provider. We ourselves do not collect any personal data by means of the social plugins or about their use. We have no influence on what data an activated plugin collects and how it is used by the provider. At present, it must be assumed that a direct connection to the provider’s services is established and that at least the IP address and device-related information is collected and used. There is also the possibility that the service providers try to save cookies on the device used. Please refer to the data protection information of the respective service provider to find out which specific data is collected and how it is used. Note: If you are logged into Facebook at the same time, Facebook can identify you as a visitor to a particular page. We have integrated the social media buttons of the following companies on our website:

Meta Platforms Inc. (Facebook):

Social media plugins from Facebook are used on our website to make its use more personal. We use the “LIKE” or “SHARE” button for this purpose. This is an offer from Meta Platforms, Inc. (1601 WILLOW ROAD MENLO PARK CA 94025, United States). When you call up a page of our website that contains such a plugin, your browser establishes a direct connection with the Facebook servers. The content of the plugin is transmitted by Facebook directly to your browser, which then integrates it into the website. By integrating the plugins, Facebook receives the information that your browser has called up the corresponding page of our website, even if you do not have a Facebook account or are not currently logged in to Facebook. This information (including your IP address) is transmitted by your browser directly to a Facebook server in the USA and stored there. If you are logged in to Facebook, Facebook can assign your visit to our website directly to your Facebook account. If you interact with the plugins, for example by clicking the “LIKE” or “SHARE” button, the corresponding information is also transmitted directly to a Facebook server and stored there. The information is also published on Facebook and displayed to your Facebook friends. Facebook may use this information for the purposes of advertising, market research and the needs-based design of Facebook pages. For this purpose, Facebook creates usage, interest and relationship profiles, e.g. to evaluate your use of our website with regard to the advertisements displayed to you on Facebook, to inform other Facebook users about your activities on our website and to provide other services associated with the use of Facebook. If you do not want Facebook to assign the data collected via our website to your Facebook account, you must log out of Facebook before visiting our website. For the purpose and scope of the data collection and the further processing and use of the data by Facebook, as well as your rights in this regard and setting options for protecting your privacy, please refer to Facebook’s privacy policy (https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/).

Youtube LLC:

We use YouTube for the integration of videos into our website. YouTube is operated by YouTube LLC, based at 901 Cherry Avenue, San Bruno, CA 94066, USA. YouTube is represented by Google Inc., based at 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. YouTube is used in the interest of an appealing presentation of our online offers. This represents a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO. On some of our websites, we use plug-ins from the provider YouTube. When you call up the Internet pages of our website that are provided with such a plug-in – for example, our media library – a connection is established to the YouTube servers and the plug-in is displayed. This transmits to the YouTube server which of our Internet pages you have visited. If you are logged in as a YouTube member, YouTube assigns this information to your personal user account. When you use the plug-in, e.g. by clicking on the start button of a video, this information is also assigned to your user account. You can prevent this assignment by logging out of your YouTube user account and other user accounts of the companies YouTube LLC and Google Inc. before using our website and deleting the corresponding cookies of the companies. For the purpose and scope of the data collection and the further processing and use of the data by YouTube, as well as your rights in this regard and setting options for protecting your privacy, please refer to YouTube’s privacy policy: www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/.

XING AG (Gänsemarkt 43 – 20354 Hamburg – Germany):

For information about the purpose and scope of the data collection and the further processing and use of the data by XING, and about your rights and settings to protect your privacy, please refer to the XING privacy policy: https://privacy.xing.com/en/privacy-policy

Vimeo Inc.:

Our website uses plugins from Vimeo for the integration and display of video content. The provider of the video portal is Vimeo Inc., 555 West 18th Street, New York, New York 10011, USA. When a page with an integrated Vimeo plugin is called up, a connection to the Vimeo servers is established. Vimeo thereby learns which of our pages you have accessed. Vimeo learns your IP address, even if you are not logged in to the video portal or do not have an account there. The information collected by Vimeo is transmitted to the video portal’s servers in the USA. Vimeo can assign your surfing behaviour directly to your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out first. Details on the handling of user data can be found in the Vimeo privacy policy at: https://vimeo.com/privacy.

Instagram LLC:

Our website also uses so-called social plugins (“plugins”) from Instagram, which is operated by Instagram LLC., 1601 Willow Road, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA (“Instagram”). The plugins are marked with an Instagram logo, for example in the form of an “Instagram camera”. When you call up a page of our website that contains such a plugin, your browser establishes a direct connection to the Instagram servers. The content of the plugin is transmitted by Instagram directly to your browser and integrated into the page. Through this integration, Instagram receives the information that your browser has called up the corresponding page of our website, even if you do not have an Instagram profile or are not currently logged in to Instagram. This information (including your IP address) is transmitted by your browser directly to an Instagram server in the USA and stored there. If you are logged in to Instagram, Instagram can directly assign your visit to our website to your Instagram account. If you interact with the plugins, for example by clicking the “Instagram” button, this information is also transmitted directly to an Instagram server and stored there. The information is also published on your Instagram account and displayed there to your contacts. If you do not want Instagram to directly assign the data collected via our website to your Instagram account, you must log out of Instagram before visiting our website. For more information, please see Instagram’s privacy policy (https://help.instagram.com/155833707900388).

IX. Social media profiles

Our website contains links to other websites. It is beyond our control if their operators comply with the data protection provisions.

We maintain an online profile on Facebook in order to communicate with customers, prospective customers and users who are active on Facebook and to inform them about our services. There, we point out that the social network provider collects data on users when they visit our Facebook profile. The social network provider generally uses such data for market research and advertising purposes; in this connection, it may occur that the provider compiles activity profiles from users’ activity and inferred interests and uses such profiles to place advertising that matches users’ interests. For a detailed description of data processing performed by the Facebook, please see the providers privacy policiy. Similarly, if you wish to request information and exercise your user rights, it is most effective to do so with the provider as only the provider has access to user data and can take action and provide information accordingly. For further information, please see:

Facebook (Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland) – Privacy policy: https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/ and https://en-gb.facebook.com/legal/terms/page_controller_addendum
