, M.R.O.Privacy Policy
Data protection has a particularly high priority for the management of OZK. Use of the OZK website is in principle possible without any provision of personal data. However, if an affected person (data subject) wishes to use our company’s special services through our website, personal data processing may be required. If the processing of personal data is required and there is no legal basis for such processing, we generally seek the consent of the data subject.
The processing of personal data, such as the name, address, e-mail address or telephone number of a data subject, is always done in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation and in accordance with the country-specific data protection provisions applicable to OZK. Through this privacy policy, our company seeks to inform the public about the nature, scope and purpose of the personal data we collect, use and process. Data subjects are also informed of their rights in this privacy policy.
As a controller, OZK has implemented numerous technical and organizational measures to ensure the most complete protection possible for personal data processed via this website. Nevertheless, internet-based data transmissions can generally have security holes, so absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, data subjects are free to submit personal data to us in alternative ways, for example by telephone.
1. Definitions
The privacy policy of OZK is based on the terminology used by the European directive and regulatory authority in the adoption of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Our privacy policy should be easy to read and understand for the public as well as for our customers and business partners. To ensure this, we would like to explain in advance the terminology used.
We use the following terms among others in this privacy policy:
a) Personal data
Personal data is any information that relates to an identified or identifiable natural person (the “data subject”). A natural person is considered to be identifiable who, directly or indirectly, in particular by association with an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or one or more special features, which express the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of this natural person.
b) Data subject
A data subject is any identified or identifiable natural person whose personal data is processed by the controller.
c) Processing
Processing means any procedure or series of operations performed with or without the aid of automated processes in relation to personal data such as gathering, collection, organisation, ordering, storage, adaptation or modification, reading, querying, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or other form of provision, matching or linking, restriction, erasure or destruction.
d) Restriction of processing
Restriction of processing is the marking of stored personal data with the aim to limit its future processing.
e) Profiling
Profiling is any type of automated processing of personal data which involves the use of such personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to analyse or predict aspects relating to work performance, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behaviour, location or change of location of this natural person.
f) Pseudonymisation
Pseudonymisation is the processing of personal data in such a way that the personal data can no longer be assigned to a specific data subject without additional information, provided that such additional information is kept separate and is subject to technical and organisational measures to ensure that the personal data is not assigned to an identified or identifiable natural person.
g) Controller or entity responsible for processing
This is the natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body that, alone or in concert with others, decides on the purposes and means of processing personal data. Where the purposes and means of such processing are determined by Union law or the law of the Member States, the controller or the specific criteria for its designation may be provided for under Union or national law.
h) Commissioned processor
The commissioned processor is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body that processes personal data on behalf of the controller.
i) Recipient
Recipient is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other entity to whom personal data is disclosed, whether or not it is a third party. However, authorities which may receive personal data under Union or national law in connection with a particular mission are not considered to be recipients in the above sense.
j) Third party
A third party is a natural or legal person, public authority, body or entity other than the data subject, the controller, the processor and the persons authorised under the direct responsibility of the controller or processor to process the personal data.
k) Consent
Consent is any expression of will voluntarily given by the data subject in an informed and unambiguous manner in the form of a statement or other unambiguous affirmative act by which the data subject indicates that they agree to the processing of their personal data.
2. The name and address of the controller
The controller within the meaning of the General Data Protection Regulation, other data-protection laws in the Member States of the European Union and other provisions of a data-protection nature is:
Responsible for content according to § 6 MDStV:

3. Cookies
The OZK website uses cookies. Cookies are text files that are stored and saved on a computer system via an internet browser.
Many websites and servers use cookies. Many cookies contain a so-called cookie ID. A cookie ID is a unique identifier of the cookie. It consists of a string of figures through which internet pages and servers can be assigned to the specific internet browser in which the cookie was stored. This allows visited websites and servers to distinguish the individual’s browser from other internet browsers that contain other cookies. A particular web browser can be recognised and identified by the unique cookie ID.
Through the use of cookies, OZK can provide users of this website with more user-friendly services that would not be possible without cookies.
By means of a cookie, the information and offers on our website can be optimised for the user. Cookies allow us, as already mentioned, to recognise the users of our website. The purpose of this recognition is to make it easier for users to use our website. For example, the user of a website that uses cookies need not re-enter their credentials each time they visit the website, as this is done by the website and the cookie stored on the user’s computer system. Another example is the cookie placed for a shopping basket in the online shop. The online shop remembers the items that a customer has placed in the virtual shopping cart via a cookie.
The data subject can prevent the setting of cookies through our website at any time by means of a corresponding setting of the internet browser used and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Furthermore, already set cookies can be deleted at any time via the internet browser or other software programs. This is possible in all common internet browsers. If the data subject deactivates the setting of cookies in the internet browser used, not all features of our website may be fully usable.
4. Collection of general data and information The OZK website collects general data and information each time the website is accessed by a data subject or an automated system. This general data and information is stored in the log files of the server. The following data may be collected: (1) browser types and versions used, (2) the operating system used by the accessing system, (3) the internet page from which an accessing system accesses our website (so-called referrers), (4) the sub-pages, which are accessed via an accessing system on our website, (5) the date and time of access to the website, (6) an internet protocol address (IP address), (7) the internet service provider of the accessing system, and (8) other similar data and information used in the event of attacks on our information technology systems.
When using this general data and information, OZK does not draw any conclusions about the person of the data subject. Rather, this information is required to: (1) correctly deliver the contents of our website, (2) to optimise the content of our website and to advertise it, (3) to ensure the continued functioning of our information technology systems and the technology of our website, and (4) to provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for law enforcement in the event of a cyberattack. This anonymously collected data and information are evaluated by OZK statistically and further with the aim to increase the data protection and data security in our company, in order to ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data processed by us. The anonymous data of the server log files is stored separately from all personal data provided by a data subject.
5. Registration on our website
The data subject has the opportunity to register on the website of the controller by providing personal data. The personal data to be sent to the controller is derived from the respective input mask used for the registration. The personal data entered by the data subject is collected and stored solely for internal use by the controller and for its own purposes. The controller may arrange for the transfer to one or more processors, such as a parcel service, who also uses the personal data only for internal use attributable to the controller.
When registering on the website of the controller, the IP address assigned by the internet service provider (ISP) of the data subject as well as the date and time of registration are also stored. The storage of this data takes place against the background that this is the only way the misuse of our services can be prevented; and this data makes it possible if needed to clarify committed offences. In this respect, the storage of this data is required for security on the part of the controller. This data is not disclosed to third parties, unless there is a legal obligation to disclose the data or it serves the purposes of law enforcement.
The registration of the data subject under voluntary provision of personal data serves the data controller to provide the data subject with content or services that, due to the nature of the case, can only be offered to registered users. Registered persons are free to modify the personal data given at registration at any time or to delete it completely from the database of the controller.
The controller must, at any time upon request, provide information to each data subject as to which personal data about the data subject is stored. Furthermore, the data controller must correct or delete personal data at the request or instruction of the data subject, insofar as this does not conflict with any statutory storage requirements. All employees of the controller are available to the data subject as contacts in this context.
6. Subscription to our newsletter
Users are given the opportunity to subscribe to our company newsletter on the OZK website. The personal data is transmitted to the controller when the newsletter is ordered results from the input mask used for this purpose.
OZK informs its customers and business partners at regular intervals by means of a newsletter about offers of the company. The newsletter of our company can only be received by the data subject if: (1) the data subject has a valid e-mail address, and (2) the data subject registers for the newsletter. For legal reasons, a confirmation e-mail will be sent to the e-mail address entered by a data subject for the first time for newsletter mailing using the double-opt-in procedure. This confirmation e-mail is used to check whether the data subject as the owner of the e-mail address authorised the receipt of the newsletter.
When subscribing to the newsletter, we also store the IP address of the computer system used by the data subject at the time of registration, as well as the date and time of registration, as assigned by the internet service provider (ISP). The collection of this data is necessary in order to determine the (possible) misuse of a a data subject’s e-mail address at a later date and therefore serves as a legal safeguard for the controller.
The personal data collected in the context of registering for the newsletter will be used exclusively to send our newsletter. Subscribers to the newsletter may also be notified by e-mail if this is necessary for the operation of the newsletter service or registration, as might be the case in the event of changes to the newsletter or technical changes. There will be no transfer of the personal data collected as part of the newsletter service to third parties. Subscription to our newsletter may be terminated by the data subject at any time. Consent to the storage of personal data that the data subject has given us for the sending of the newsletter can be revoked at any time. There is a corresponding link in each newsletter, which can be used to revoke consent. It is also possible to unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time, directly on the controller’s website, or to inform the controller of the desire to unsubscribe in a different way.
7. Newsletter Tracking
The OZK newsletter contains so-called counting pixels. A counting pixel is a miniature graphic that is embedded in such emails that are sent in HTML format to enable log-file recording and log-file analysis. This allows a statistical evaluation of the success or failure of online marketing campaigns. Based on the embedded pixel, OZK can detect if and when an e-mail was opened by a data subject and which links in the e-mail were visited by the data subject.
Such personal data collected via the counting pixels contained in the newsletters will be stored and evaluated by the controller in order to optimise the delivery of newsletters and to better adapt the content of future newsletters to the interests of the data subject. This personal data will not be disclosed to third parties. Data subjects are at any time entitled to revoke this separate declaration of consent made via the double-opt-in procedure. After revocation, this personal data will be deleted by the controller. Cancellation of the receipt of the newsletter is automatically interpreted by OZK as a revocation.
8. Contact options via the website
OZK’s website contains information required by law to enable others to contact our company quickly and to communicate with us directly, which also includes a general address for so-called electronic mail (e-mail address). If a data subject contacts the controller by e-mail or through a contact form, the personal data provided by the data subject will be automatically saved. Such personal data, voluntarily transmitted by an individual to the controller, is stored for the purpose of processing or contacting the data subject. There is no disclosure of this personal data to third parties.
9. Routine deletion and blocking of personal data
The controller processes and stores personal data of the data subject only for the period necessary to achieve the purpose of storage or if it is required to do so by law, regulation or other legislation of the European legislator to which the controller is subject.
If the storage purpose no longer applies or if a storage period prescribed by the European directives and regulations or any other relevant legislator expires, the personal data will be routinely blocked or deleted in accordance with the statutory provisions.
10. Rights of the data subject
a) Right of confirmation
Each data subject has the right granted by the European directive and regulatory authority to require the controller to confirm whether personal data relating to the data subject is being processed. If a data subject wishes to make use of this right of confirmation, they can contact an employee of the controller at any time.
b) Right to information
Any subject of the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European directive and regulatory authority to obtain at any time free information from the controller on the personal data stored about them and to receive a copy of this data. Furthermore, the European directive and regulatory authority has granted the data subject rights to the following information:
the processing purposes,
the categories of personal data being processed,
the recipients or categories of recipients to whom the personal data has been or will be disclosed, in particular to recipients in third countries or international organisations,
if possible, the planned duration for which the personal data is stored, or, if that is not possible, the criteria for determining that duration,
the right to rectification or erasure of the personal data concerning the data subject
restriction of processing by the controller or a right to object to such processing,
the existence of a right of appeal to a supervisory authority

Furthermore, the data subject has a right to information about whether personal data has been transmitted to a third country or to an international organisation. If this is the case, the data subject has the right to obtain information about the appropriate guarantees in connection with the transfer.
If a data subject wishes to exercise this right to information, they may at any time contact an employee of the controller.
c) Right to rectification
Any subject of the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European directive and regulatory authority to demand the immediate correction of incorrect personal data concerning them. Furthermore, the data subject has the right to request the completion of incomplete personal data, including by means of a supplementary declaration, taking into account the purposes of the processing.
If a data subject wishes to exercise this right of rectification, they may, at any time, contact an employee of the controller.
d) Right to be forgotten
Any subject of the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European directive and regulatory authority to require the controller to immediately delete the personal data concerning them, if any of the following reasons apply and if the processing is not required:
The personal data has been collected for purposes or otherwise processed for purposes for which it is no longer necessary.
The data subject withdraws the consent on which the processing was based in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR or Art. 9 (2) (a) GDPR and there is no other legal basis for the processing.
The data subject objects to the processing in accordance with Art. 21 (1) GDPR, and there are no legitimate reasons for the processing, or the data subject objects to the processing according to Art. 21 (2) GDPR.
The personal data was processed unlawfully.
The deletion of personal data is necessary to fulfil a legal obligation under Union or national law to which the controller is subject.
The personal data was collected in relation to information society services offered pursuant to Art. 8 (1) GDPR.
If one of the above reasons applies and a data subject wishes to initiate the deletion of personal data held by OZK, they may, at any time, contact an employee of the controller. The employee of the OZK will arrange for the deletion request to be fulfilled immediately.
If the personal data has been made public by OZK and if our company is responsible as the controller for deleting personal data pursuant to Art. 17 (1) GDPR, OZK will take appropriate measures, including technical ones, taking into account the available technology and the implementation costs, to inform other data controllers who process the published personal data that the data subject requires the other data controllers to delete all links to such personal data or all copies or replications of such personal data, as far as the processing is not required. The employee of OZK will arrange the necessary measures in individual cases.
e) Right to limit processing
Any subject of the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European directive and regulatory authority to require the controller to restrict data processing if any of the following conditions are met:
The accuracy of the personal data is contested by the data subject for a period of time that enables the controller to verify the accuracy of the personal data.
The processing is unlawful and the data subject declines to delete the personal data and instead requests the restriction of the use of the personal data.
The controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of processing, but the data subject requires it to assert, exercise or defend legal claims.
The data subject has objected to the processing pursuant to Art. 21 (1) GDPR, and it is not yet clear whether the legitimate reasons controller outweigh those of the data subject.
If any of the above conditions is met and a data subject wishes to request the restriction of personal data stored by OZK, they may, at any time, contact an employee of the controller. The employee of the OZK will initiate the restriction of processing.
f) Data portability
Any subject of the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European directive and regulatory authority to receive the personal data concerning them, which they have provided to a controller, in a structured, common and machine-readable format. The data subject also has the right to transfer this data to another controller without hindrance by the controller to whom the personal data was provided, provided that the processing is based on consent pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR or Art. 9 (2) (a) GDPR or on a contract pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR, and processing is done by means of automated processes, unless the processing is necessary for the performance of a mission of public interest or is done in the exercise of public authority that has been assigned to the controller.
Furthermore, in exercising their right to data portability under Art. 20 (1) GDPR, the data subject has the right to required that the personal data is transmitted directly from one controller to another controller, insofar as this is technically feasible and if this does not affect the rights and freedoms of others.
To assert the right to data portability, the data subject may at any time contact an employee of OZK.
g) Right to objection
Any subject of the processing of personal data has the right, granted by the European directive and regulatory authority, at any time, for reasons arising from their particular situation, to object to the processing of personal data relating to them based Art. 6 (1) (e) or (f) GDPR. This also applies to profiling based on these provisions.
OZK will no longer process personal data in the event of an objection, unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for processing that outweigh the interests, rights and freedoms of the data subject, or the processing is for assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims.
If OZK processes personal data in order to carry out direct advertising, the data subject has the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data for the purpose of such advertising. This also applies to profiling, as far as it is associated with such direct advertising. If the data subject objects to processing by OZK for direct advertising purposes, OZK will no longer process the personal data for these purposes.
In addition, the data subject has the right, for reasons arising from their particular situation, to object to the processing of personal data relating to them, which OZK undertakes for scientific or historical research purposes or for statistical purposes pursuant to Art. 89 (1) GDPR, unless such processing is necessary to fulfil a public-interest mission.
In order to exercise the right to objection, the data subject may directly contact any OZK employee or another employee. The data subject is also free, in the context of the use of information society services, notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC, to exercise their right to objection by means of automated procedures using technical specifications.
h) Automated decisions on a case-by-case basis, including profiling
Any subject of the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European directive and regulatory authority not to be subject to a decision based exclusively on automated processing — including profiling — which has a legal effect on them or a similarly significantly effect, unless the decision (1) is necessary for the conclusion or performance of a contract between the data subject and the controller, or (2) is permitted under Union or Member State legislation to which the controller is subject and such legislation contains appropriate measures to safeguard the rights, freedoms and legitimate interests of the data subject, or (3) is based on the express consent of the data subject.
If the decision (1) is required for the conclusion or performance of a contract between the data subject and the controller, or (2) it takes place with the express consent of the data subject, OZK will take appropriate measures to protect the rights and freedoms and legitimate interests of the data subject, including at least the right to obtain the intervention of a person on the part of the controller, the right to express their own position, and the right to contest the decision.
If the data subject wishes to exercise their rights regarding automated decision-making, they can contact an employee of the controller at any time.

11. Privacy policy on the use and application of Facebook
The controller has integrated components of the company Facebook on this website. Facebook is a social network.
A social network is an internet-based social meeting place, an online community that typically allows users to communicate with each other and interact in virtual space. A social network can serve as a platform to exchange views and experiences, or allows the internet community to provide personal or business information. Facebook allows social-network users to create private profiles, upload photos and socialise via friend requests.
The operating company of Facebook is Facebook, Inc., 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA. The controller responsible for the processing of personal data, if an affected person lives outside the US or Canada, is Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbor, Dublin 2, Ireland.
During each visit to one of the individual pages of this website, which is operated by the controller and on which a Facebook component (Facebook plug-in) has been integrated, the internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject is automatically caused, via the respective Facebook component, to download a representation of the corresponding Facebook component. An overview of all Facebook plug-ins can be found at: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/?locale=en_US As part of this technical process, Facebook receives information about which specific sub-page of our website is visited by the person concerned.
If the data subject is simultaneously logged into Facebook, Facebook recognises with each visit to our website by the data subject and during the entire duration of the respective stay on our website, which specific sub-page of our website the data subject visits. This information is collected through the Facebook component and assigned by Facebook to the respective Facebook account of the data subject. If the data subject activates one of the Facebook buttons integrated on our website, for example the Like-button, or if the data subject makes a comment, Facebook assigns this information to the personal Facebook user account of the data subject and saves this personal data.
Facebook always receives information via the Facebook component that the data subject has visited our website if the data subject is logged in to Facebook at the same time they access our website; this happens regardless of whether the person clicks on the Facebook component or not. If such a transfer of this information to Facebook is not desired by the data subject, they can prevent the transfer by logging out of their Facebook account before visiting our website.
The privacy policy published by Facebook, which is available at https://de-de.facebook.com/about/privacy/, provides information on the collection, processing and use of personal data by Facebook. It also explains which options Facebook offers to protect the privacy of the data subject. In addition, different applications are available, which make it possible to suppress data transmission to Facebook. Such applications can be used by the data subject to suppress data transmission to Facebook.
12. Privacy policy on the use and application of Google Analytics (with anonymisation function)
The controller has integrated the Google Analytics component (with anonymisation function) on this website. Google Analytics is a web analytics service. Web analysis is the gathering, collection and analysis of data about the behaviour of visitors to websites. Among other things, a web-analysis service collects data on which website a data subject has come to a website through (so-called referrers), which sub-pages of the website were accessed and how often and for how long a sub-page was viewed. Web analysis is mainly used to optimise a website and provide a cost-benefit analysis of internet advertising.
The operating company of the Google Analytics component is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheater Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA.
The controller uses the addition “_gat._anonymizeIp” for web analytics via Google Analytics. By means of this addition, the IP address for the internet access of the data subject will be shortened and anonymised by Google if the access to our website is from a Member State of the European Union or from another state party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area.
The purpose of the Google Analytics component is to analyse visitor flows on our website. Among other things, Google uses the data and information obtained to evaluate the use of our website, to compile for us online reports showing the activities on our websites, and to provide other services related to the use of our website.
Google Analytics uses a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. What cookies are, has already been explained above. By using this cookie, Google is enabled to analyse the usage of our website. Each time one of the pages of this website, which is operated by the controller and on which the Google Analytics component has been integrated, is visited, the internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject is automatically caused by the respective Google Analytics component to submit data to Google for online analysis purposes. As part of this technical process, Google will become aware of personal data, such as the IP address of the data subject, which serves, among other things, Google to track the origin of the visitors and clicks, and subsequently to make commission settlements possible.
The cookie stores personal data, such as access time, the location from which access was made, and the frequency of site visits by the data subject. Each time you visit our website, your personal data, including the IP address of the internet connection used by the data subject, is transferred to Google in the United States of America. This personal data is stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may transfer such personal data collected through the technical process to third parties.
The data subject can prevent the setting of cookies through our website, as described above, at any time by means of a corresponding setting of the internet browser used and thereby permanently object to the setting of cookies. Such a setting of the internet browser used would also prevent Google from setting a cookie on the information technology system of the person concerned. In addition, a cookie already set by Google Analytics can be deleted at any time via the internet browser or other software programs.
Furthermore, the data subject has the option of objecting to and preventing the collection of the data generated by Google Analytics for the use of this website and the processing of this data by Google. To do this, the person must download and install a browser add-on from: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout This browser add-on informs Google Analytics via JavaScript that no data and information about website visits may be transmitted to Google Analytics. The installation of the browser add-on is considered by Google as an objection. If the data subject’s information technology system is later deleted, formatted or reinstalled, the data subject must reinstall the browser add-on to disable Google Analytics. If the browser add-on is uninstalled or disabled by the data subject or any other person within their sphere of control, it is possible to reinstall or reactivate the browser add-on.
Additional information and Google’s privacy policy can be found at https://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy/ and http://www.google.com/analytics/terms/en.html. Google Analytics is explained in more detail at https://www.google.com/intl/de_de/analytics/.
Google Analytics uses so-called Cookies, text files that are stored on your computer and that allow an analysis of the use of the website by you. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is usually transmitted to a Google server in the US and stored there. However, in the event of activation of IP anonymisation on this website, your IP address will be shortened beforehand by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be sent to a Google server in the US and shortened there. The IP address provided by Google Analytics as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide other services related to website activity and internet usage to the website operator. We also have a legitimate interest in data processing for these purposes. The legal basis for the use of Google Analytics is § 15 (3) TMG or Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. The data sent by us and linked to cookies, user recognition (e.g. user ID) or advertising IDs will be automatically deleted after 14 months. The deletion of data whose retention period has been reached is done automatically once a month. More information about terms of use and privacy, can be found https://www.google.com/analytics/terms/de.html here https://policies.google.com/?hl=de.
You can prevent the storage of cookies by a corresponding setting of your browser software; however, please note that if you do this, you may not be able to use all the features of this website to the fullest extent possible. You may also prevent the collection by Google of the data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) as well as the processing of this data by Google downloading and installing this Browser add-on. Opt-out cookies prevent future collection of your data when you visit this website. To prevent universal analytics tracking across devices, you must opt-out on all systems you use. If you click here, the opt-out cookie will be set: Disable Google Analytics
13. Privacy policy for the use and application of Google+
The controller has integrated the Google+ button as a component on this website. Google+ is a so-called social network. A social network is an internet-based social meeting place, an online community that typically allows users to communicate with each other and interact in virtual space. A social network can serve as a platform to exchange views and experiences, or allows the internet community to provide personal or business information. Google+ allows social-network users to create private profiles, upload photos, and socialise through friend requests, among other things.
Google+'s operating company is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheater Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA.
During each visit to one of the individual pages of this website, which is operated by the controller and on which a Google+ button has been integrated, the internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject is automatically caused, via the respective Google+ button, to download a representation of the corresponding Google+ button from Google. As part of this technical process, Google receives information about which specific sub-page of our website is visited by the person concerned. More detailed information about Google+ is available at https://developers.google.com/+/.
If the data subject is simultaneously logged into Google+, Google recognises with each visit to our website by the data subject and during the entire duration of the respective stay on our website, which specific sub-page of our website the data subject visits. This information is collected through the Google+ button and assigned by Google to the relevant Google+ account of the data subject.
If the data subject activates one of the Google+ buttons integrated on our website and thus makes a Google+1 recommendation, Google assigns this information to the personal Google+ user account of the data subject and stores this personal data. Google will store the Google+1 recommendation of the data subject and make it publicly available in accordance with the conditions accepted by the data subject. A Google+1 referral made by the data subject on this website will be subsequently stored and processed together with other personal data, such as the name of the Google+1 account used by the data subject and the photo stored in other Google services such as, for example, the search engine results of the Google search engine, the Google account of the data subject or other places, such as websites or in connection with advertisements. Furthermore, Google is able to link the visit to this website with other personal data stored on Google. Google also records this personal data for the purpose of improving or optimising Google's different services.
Google always receives information via the Google+ button that the data subject has visited our website if the data subject is simultaneously logged in to Google+ at the time of accessing our website; this happens regardless of whether the person clicks the Google+ button or not.
If the data subject does not wish to transfer personal data to Google, they can prevent such transmission by logging out of their Google+ account before visiting our website.

14. Data protection provisions about the application and use of Instagram
On this website, the controller has integrated components of the service Instagram. Instagram is a service that may be qualified as an audiovisual platform, which allows users to share photos and videos, as well as disseminate such data in other social networks.
The operating company of the services offered by Instagram is Instagram LLC, 1 Hacker Way, Building 14 First Floor, Menlo Park, CA, UNITED STATES.
With each call-up to one of the individual pages of this Internet site, which is operated by the controller and on which an Instagram component (Insta button) was integrated, the Internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject is automatically prompted to the download of a display of the corresponding Instagram component of Instagram. During the course of this technical procedure, Instagram becomes aware of what specific sub-page of our website was visited by the data subject.
If the data subject is logged in at the same time on Instagram, Instagram detects with every call-up to our website by the data subject—and for the entire duration of their stay on our Internet site—which specific sub-page of our Internet page was visited by the data subject. This information is collected through the Instagram component and is associated with the respective Instagram account of the data subject. If the data subject clicks on one of the Instagram buttons integrated on our website, then Instagram matches this information with the personal Instagram user account of the data subject and stores the personal data.
Instagram receives information via the Instagram component that the data subject has visited our website provided that the data subject is logged in at Instagram at the time of the call to our website. This occurs regardless of whether the person clicks on the Instagram button or not. If such a transmission of information to Instagram is not desirable for the data subject, then he or she can prevent this by logging off from their Instagram account before a call-up to our website is made.
Further information and the applicable data protection provisions of Instagram may be retrieved under https://help.instagram.com/155833707900388 and https://www.instagram.com/about/legal/privacy/.
15. Privacy Policy on the use and application of YouTube
The controller has integrated YouTube components into this site. YouTube is an internet video portal that allows video publishers to freely watch video clips and other users for free viewing, rating and commenting. YouTube allows the publication of all types of videos, so that both complete film and television broadcasts, but also music videos, trailers or user-made videos are availalbe via the internet portal.
YouTube’s operating company is YouTube, LLC, 901 Cherry Ave., San Bruno, CA 94066, USA. YouTube, LLC is a subsidiary of Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheater Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA.
During each visit to one of the individual pages of this website, which is operated by the controller and on which a YouTube component (YouTube video) has been integrated, the internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject is automatically caused, via the respective YouTube component, to download a representation of the corresponding YouTube component. More information about YouTube can be found at https://www.youtube.com/yt/about/en/. As part of this technical process, YouTube and Google are aware of the specific sub-page of our site visited by the data subject.
If the data subject is logged in to YouTube at the same time, YouTube recognises, when a sub-page containing a YouTube video is visited, which specific sub-page of our website the data subject has visited. This information is collected by YouTube and Google and associated with the individual YouTube account.
YouTube and Google will always receive information through the YouTube component that the data subject has visited our website if the data subject is simultaneously logged into YouTube at the time of access to our website; this happens regardless of whether the person clicks on a YouTube video or not. If such transmission of this information to YouTube and Google is not desired by the data subject, they can prevent the transmission by logging out of their YouTube account before visiting our website.
YouTube's privacy policy, available at https://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy/, identifies the collection, processing, and use of personal data by YouTube and Google.
16. Legal basis of processing
Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR serves our company as the legal basis for processing operations where we obtain consent for a particular processing purpose. If the processing of personal data is necessary to fulfil a contract of which the data subject is a party, as is the case, for example, in processing operations necessary for the supply of goods or the provision of any other service or consideration, processing is based on Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR. The same applies to processing operations that are necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures, for example in cases of inquiries regarding our products or services. If our company is subject to a legal obligation which requires the processing of personal data, such as the fulfilment of tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6 (1) (c) GDPR. In rare cases, the processing of personal data may be required to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor to our premises were injured and his or her name, age, health insurance or other vital information would have to be passed on to a doctor, hospital or other third party. In this case, processing would be based on Art. 6 (1) (d). Finally, processing operations could be based on Art. 6 (1) (f). Processing operations that are not covered by any of the above legal bases have this legal basis if processing is necessary to safeguard the legitimate interests of our company or a third party, unless the interests, fundamental rights and fundamental freedoms of the data subject prevail. Such processing operations are particularly allowed to us because they have been specifically mentioned by the European legislator. In this regard, it judged that a legitimate interest could be assumed if the data subject is a customer of the controller (Recital 47, sent. 2 GDPR).
17. Legitimate interests in processing pursued by the controller or a third party
If the processing of personal data is based on Art. 6 (1) (f), our legitimate interest is in conducting our business for the benefit of all of our employees and our shareholders.
18. Duration for which the personal data is stored
The criterion for the duration of the storage of personal data is the respective statutory retention period. After the deadline, the corresponding data will be routinely deleted, if it is longer required to fulfil the contract or to initiate a contract.
19. Legal or contractual provisions for the provision of personal data; Necessity for the conclusion of the contract; Obligation of the data subject to provide the personal data; Possible consequences of non-provision
We hereby clarify that the provision of personal data is partly required by law (e.g. tax regulations) or can also result from contractual provisions (e.g. information about the contracting party). Occasionally it may be necessary, in order for a contract to be concluded, that a data subject provide us with personal data that must subsequently be processed by us. For example, the data subject is required to provide us with personal data when our company enters into a contract with them. Failure to provide the personal data would mean that the contract with the data subject could not be closed. Prior to any personal data being provided by the data subject, the data subject must contact one of our employees. Our employee will inform the individual on a case-by-case basis whether the provision of the personal data is required by law or contract or is required for the conclusion of the contract, whether there is an obligation to provide the personal data, and the consequences of the non-provision of the personal data.
20. Use of automated decision-making
As a responsible company, we abstain from automated decision-making or profiling.
