Following any withdrawal of consent to the processing of your data and/or declaration of objection thereto, your data will be moved to our so-called “blocking list”.

This means, that your data is protected by entry controls (securely located servers, access to which is only granted under defined security procedures), admission controls (128-bit encoded data transmission, individual password, menu and employee authorization, current virus software), access controls (individual employee access authorization via personal accounts, identification and authentication requirements), disclosure controls (constant supervision and guidance to authorized personnel, no local storage of data, recording of all data exports and transmission), input controls (account-related auditing, time-stamp and host logging), task auditing (constant supervision by managers and data protection officers, transparent contract structure relating to the provisions of § 62 of the German Federal Data Protection Act (Bundesdatenschutzgesetz, BDSG) and Art. 28 GDPR in coordination with management and data protection officers) and availability checks (general security procedures of the host [UPS, halon gas systems, etc.], back-up streaming to other general security procedures [e.g. UPS, halon gas systems, etc.], back-up streaming to other locations [with all security measures, see access controls] nightly mirroring onto two hard discs, virus protection program).

8. Usage data and cookies:

You can view our internet pages without providing any personal information. However, when you visit our pages, certain technical data is generated, which is known as "usage data". In addition, we may use one or more cookies and in some cases include social media plug-ins. The text below is also intended to provide you with information about this.

Usage data:

When you visit our web pages, the only items of information that we store by default are the website from which you reached our page, the name of your Internet service provider, which web pages you visited while on the Internet, and the date and duration of your visit. The data obtained is completely anonymous.

For security reasons, your IP address and a time stamp are also stored. These data are used for internal purposes. The IP address is a machine-related code that provides information about the computer or Internet gateway used to access the Internet for online retrieval. A time stamp is a value in a specific format that assigns a specific time to an event (for example, sending or receiving a message, change of data, etc.). The purpose of a time stamp is to tell people or computers when events have occurred.

Social media plugins:

We include “social media plug-ins” (also often known as “social media buttons”) in some areas of our web pages. These types of plug-ins are indicated on our pages by buttons (hence the term “buttons”), each of which indicates the provider of the plug-in via the corresponding colors and symbols. If you click on these buttons you can do things like notify your friends on the social networks you use that you like one of our pages or share a link to a website with other internet users depending on the button

If you are browsing our website and access one of our web pages with a social media plug-in, your browser connects directly to the plug-in provider's servers, and the plug-in from these servers be downloaded. During the process, the plug-in provider may be notified that the relevant web page has been accessed through our website.

If you have a user account of which one or more social networks are managed by the providers of the plug-ins, and if you are logged in to the network (s) in question while on one of our web pages that contains one or more plug-ins of social media from the provider (s) in question, access to that page may also be linked to your existing user profile (s) with the provider (s) in question. If you subsequently click on built-in plug-ins and log in to one or more of the networks (or if you are already logged in), the shared or “recommended” information will usually be posted to your profile in an abbreviated form. This may allow the network provider to retrieve and store further usage data. In this way, the providers of the networks can create user profiles that contain more information than just what you yourself have directly and actively disclosed on the network. For more information about the collection and processing of data, see the privacy policy of the plug-in providers.
