VII. WEB ANALYSIS BY GOOGLE ANALYTICS
1. Scope of the processing of personal data
We use the “Google Analytics” service on our website, which is provided by Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, to analyse website usage by users. The service uses “cookies” – text files which are stored on your terminal. The information collected by the cookies will generally be transmitted to a Google server in the United States and stored there.
We have activated the IP anonymisation function on this website. As a result your IP address will be shortened in advance by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contractual states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area prior to transmission to the United States. Only in exceptional cases will the complete IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the United States and abbreviated there. By order of the operator of this website Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports concerning the website activities and to render additional services linked with the use of the website and the Internet for the website operator. The IP address transmitted from your browser by Google Analytics is not merged with other Google data.
The following data are recorded during your website visit among other things:
• Pages accessed
• Your behaviour on the pages, e.g. length of stay
• Your approximate location (country and city)
• Your IP address (in abbreviated form meaning no clear assignment to you is possible).
• Technical information such as the browser, Internet provider, terminal device and screen resolution
• Source of your visit (i.e. via which website or advertising medium you came to us)

We have entered into an agreement with Google for the order processing and fully implement the strict data protection authorities when using Google Analytics.
3. Purpose of the data processing
The processing of the personal data of the users makes it possible for us to analyse the surfing behaviour of our users.

These purposes also include our legitimate interest in the processing of the data in accordance with Article 6 paragraph 1 letter f of the GDPR. By making the IP address anonymous, the interest of users in protection of their personal data is sufficiently taken into account.
4. Duration of storage
User and event-level data stored at Google that is linked to cookies, user IDs (e.g. User ID) or advertising IDs (e.g. DoubleClick cookies, Android advertising ID) is anonymised or deleted after 14 months. Details can be found under the following link:

We use YouTube videos in the enhanced privacy mode. According to YouTube, this mode means that YouTube does not store any information about visitors to this website before they watch the video. The transfer of data to YouTube partners is not necessarily excluded by the enhanced privacy mode. In this way YouTube established a connection with the Google DoubleClick network, regardless of whether you are watching a video.
As soon as you start a YouTube video on this website, a connection with the YouTube servers will be established. Here the server will receive the information which of our webpages you have visited. If you are logged into your YouTube account you enable YouTube to directly assign your surfing behaviour to your personal profile. You can prevent this from happening by logging out of your YouTube account.
Furthermore, after starting a video, YouTube can store various cookies on your end device or use comparable recognition technologies (e.g. device fingerprinting). In this way, YouTube can obtain information about visitors to this website. This information is used, among other things, to gather video statistics, improve the user experience and prevent fraud. If necessary, after the start of a YouTube video, further data processing operations may be triggered, over which we have no influence.
We use Youtube in order to ensure the attractive presentation of our online offers. This represents a justified interest as defined by Article 6 paragraph 1 letter f of the GDPR.

For analysis purposes, reCAPTCHA evaluates various items of information (e.g. IP address, time spent on the website or mouse movements made by the user). The data collected during the analysis is forwarded to Google.
The reCAPTCHA analyses run completely in the background. Website visitors are not advised that an analysis is taking place.

IX. OUR SOCIAL MEDIA PRESENCES
1. Data processing through social networks
We maintain publicly accessible profiles on social networks (Facebook, Instagram, XING, LinkedIn). Information in detail about the social networks we use can be found below.
You can usually recognise the plugins by the respective social media logos. There are no share buttons available on the page. Merely links to the respective account to call up the page.
Social networks such as Facebook, Instagram etc. can usually comprehensively analyse your user behaviour when you visit their website or a website with integrated social media content (e.g. like buttons or advertising banners). Visiting our social media sites triggers numerous data protection-relevant processing operations. In detail:
If you are logged in to your social media account and visit our social media presence, the operator of the social media portal can assign this visit to your user account. However, your personal data may be collected even if you are not logged in or do not have an account with the respective social media portal. In this case, this data is collected, for example, via cookies that are stored on your end device or by recording your IP address.
The data collected in this way enables the operators of social media portals to create user profiles in which your preferences and interests are stored. In this way, interest-based advertising can be displayed both inside and outside the respective social media presence. If you have an account with the relevant social network, the interest-based advertisement can be displayed on all devices on which you are or were logged in.
Please also note that we cannot trace all processing operations on the social media portals. Depending on the provider, further processing may therefore be performed by the operators of the social media portals. Details can be found in the terms of use and privacy regulations of the respective social media portals.
2. Legal basis
Our social media presences are intended to ensure the widest possible coverage on the Internet. This constitutes a justified interest as defined by Article 6 paragraph 1 letter f of the GDPR. The analysis processes initiated by the social networks may be based on different legal bases, which must be specified by the operators of the social networks (e.g. consent as defined by Article 6 paragraph 1 letter a of the GDPR).
3. Purpose of the data processing
We operate a company presence on the social media portals Facebook, Instagram, Xing and LinkedIn to promote our products and services and to communicate with interested parties or customers.
4. Storage period
The data collected directly by us via the social media presence will be deleted from our systems as soon as the purpose for storing them no longer applies, you request us to delete them, revoke your consent to storage or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies. Stored cookies remain in your device until you delete them. Any mandatory statutory provisions, especially those regarding mandatory data retention periods, remain unaffected by this provision.
We do not have any influence upon the storage duration of your data which the operators of the social networks have stored for their own purposes. For details on this, please contact the social network operators directly (for example, in their privacy policy, see below).
5. Controller and assertion of rights
When you visit one of our social media sites (e.g. Facebook), we, together with the social media platform operator, are responsible for the data processing operations triggered during this visit. In principle you can assert your rights (information, rectification, deletion, limitation of processing, data portability and complaints), both towards us and also towards the operator of the respective social medial portal (e.g. towards Facebook).
Please note that despite the joint responsibility with the social media portal operators, we do not have full influence on the data processing procedures of the social media portals. Our options are largely based on the company policy of the respective provider.

(2) to fulfil a legal obligation which requires processing in accordance with the law of the European Union or of the Member States to which the controller is subject or for the performance of a task of public interest or in the exercise of official authority which has been conferred upon the controller;
(3) for reasons of public interest in the area of public health according to Article 9 paragraph 2 letter h and i as well as Article 9 paragraph 3 of the GDPR;
(4) for archival purposes which are in the public interest, for scientific or historical research purposes or for statistical purposes according to Article 89 paragraph 1 of the GDPR, to the extent that the law referred to in paragraph (a) is likely to render impossible or seriously impair the achievement of the objectives of that processing, or
(5) to assert, exercise or defend legal claims.
5. Right to information
If you have asserted your right of correction, deletion or restriction of the processing to the controller, the latter is obliged to inform all recipients to whom your personal data was disclosed of this correction, or deletion of the data or the restriction of the processing unless: this proves to be impossible or would entail a disproportionate amount of effort.
You are entitled to the right vis-à-vis the controller to be informed of these recipients.
6. Right to data portability
You are entitled to the right to receive your personal data, which you have provided to the controller, in a structured, common and machine-readable format. You also have the right to transfer this data to another controller without hindrance by the controller whom the personal data was provided to, insofar as
(1) the processing is based on consent in accordance with Article 6 paragraph 1 letter a of the GDPR or Article 9 paragraph 2 letter a of the GDPR or on a contract in accordance with Article 6 paragraph 1 letter b of the GDPR and
(2) the processing is performed with the aid of automated procedures.
In exercising this right, you additionally have the right to effect that your personal data are transmitted directly from one controller to another controller, insofar as this is technically feasible. The freedoms and rights of other persons may not be impaired by this.
The right to data portability does not apply to the processing of personal data necessary for the performance of a task that is in the public interest or performed in the exercise of official authority that was delegated to the controller.
7. Right to object
You have the right, for reasons that arise from your particular situation, to lodge an objection at any time against the processing of your personal data, which is performed on the basis of Article 6 paragraph 1 letter e or f GDPR; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions.
The controller shall no longer process your personal data unless the controller demonstrates compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms or the processing serves the assertion, exercising or defence of legal claims.
If your personal data are processed for direct advertising purposes, you have the right to lodge an objection at any time against the processing of your personal data for the purpose of such advertising; this also applies to profiling insofar as it is associated with such direct advertising.
If you object to processing for the purposes of direct advertising, your personal data shall no longer be processed for these purposes.
You have the option in connection with the use of services of the information company – irrespective of Directive 2002/58/EC – of exercising your right of objection by means of automated procedures where technical specifications are used.
8. Right to revoke the declaration of consent under data protection law
You have the right to revoke your declaration of consent under data protection law at any time. The revocation of the consent does not affect the legality of the processing that was performed on the basis of the consent until the revocation is received.
9. Automated decision in individual cases including profiling
You have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which has legal effects for you or significantly affects you in a similar way.
This does not apply if the decision
(1) is necessary for the conclusion or performance of a contract between you and the person responsible,
(2) is authorised by Union or national legislation to which the controller is subject and that legislation provides for appropriate measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms and your legitimate interests; or
(3) takes place with your express consent.
However, these decisions may not be based on special categories of personal data in accordance with Article 9 paragraph 1 of the GDPR, unless Article 9 paragraph 2 letter a or g of the GDPR applies and appropriate measures have been taken to protect the rights and freedoms and your legitimate interests.
With regard to the cases referred to in (1) and (3), the controller shall take appropriate measures to safeguard the rights and freedoms as well as your legitimate interests, which shall include at least the right to obtain the intervention of a person by the controller, to express his/her point of view and to challenge the decision.
10. Right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority
Without prejudice to another administrative or judicial remedy, you shall have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the member state of your place of residence, your place of work or the place of the supposed violation, if you are of the opinion that the processing of your personal data violates the GDPR.
The supervisory authority to which the complaint has been submitted shall inform the complainant of the status and results of the complaint, including the possibility of a judicial remedy according to Article 78 of the GDPR.
The competent supervisory authority in matters of data protection law is the Baden-Württemberg Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information (LfDI BW)
