We would like to use the information below to provide you "data subject" with an overview of our processing of your personal data and your rights under data protection law. It is generally possible to use our website without entering personal data. However, if you wish to make use of special services offered by our company through our website, it may be necessary to process personal data. If it is necessary to process personal data and there is no legal basis for such processing, we will generally obtain your consent.
Personal data, such as your name, address or email address, is always processed in accordance with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and in accordance with the country-specific data protection regulations applicable to the "EGO Dichtstoffwerke GmbH & Co. Betriebs KG". The aim of this Privacy Notice is to inform you about the scope and purpose of the personal data we collect, use and process.
As the data controller, we have implemented numerous technical and organisational measures to ensure the most complete possible protection of the personal data processed via this website. Nevertheless, Internet-based data transmissions can in principle have security gaps so that absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, you are free to submit personal data on alternative ways, such as by phone or by post to us.
The data controller, as defined by the GDPR, is:
EGO Dichtstoffwerke GmbH & Co. Betriebs KG
Kaltenbrunn 27, 82467 Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Deutschland

You can reach the data protection officer as follows:
Email: datenschutz(at)ego.de
You may contact our data protection officer directly at any time if you have any questions or suggestions regarding data protection.
This Privacy Notice is based on the terminology used by the European legislature and legislature in the adoption of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Our privacy policy should be easy to read and understand, both for the public and for our customers and business partners. To ensure this, we would like to explain in advance the terminology used. Among other things, we use the following terms in this privacy policy.
We use the following terms in this Privacy Notice, among others:
Personal data means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. An identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person.
A Data subject is any identified or identifiable natural person whose personal data is processed by the controller (our company).
Processing is any operation or set of operations which is performed upon personal data, whether or not by automatic means, such as collection, recording, organisation, filing, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure or destruction.
Restriction of processing is the marking of stored personal data with the aim of limiting their future processing.
Profiling is any form of automated processing of personal data which consists in using such personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to analyse or predict aspects relating to that natural person's performance at work, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behaviour, location or change of location.
Pseudonymisation is the processing of personal data in such a way that the personal data can no longer be attributed to a specific data subject without the use of additional information, provided that such additional information is kept separately and is subject to technical and organisational measures which ensure that the personal data cannot be attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.
Data processor means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which processes personal data on behalf of the controller.
A recipient is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or other body to whom personal data are disclosed, whether a third party or not. However, public authorities that may receive personal data in the context of a specific investigative task under Union or Member State law shall not be considered as recipients.
Third party means any natural or legal person, public authority, agency or body other than the data subject, the controller, the processor and the persons who, under the direct responsibility of the controller or the processor, are authorised to process the personal data.
Consent means any freely given specific and informed indication of the data subject's wishes in the form of a statement or other unambiguous affirmative act by which the data subject signifies his or her agreement to the processing of personal data relating to him or her.
Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR (icw § 25 (1) German Telecommunications-Telemedia Data Protection Act (TTDSG)) serves our company as the legal basis for processing operations where we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose.
If the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which you are a party, as is the case, for example, with processing operations that are necessary for the delivery of goods or the provision of another service or consideration, the processing is based on Art. 6 (1) lit. b GDPR. The same applies to processing operations that are necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures, for example in the case of enquiries about our products or services.
If our company is subject to a legal obligation by which the processing of personal data becomes necessary, such as for the fulfilment of tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6 (1) lit. c GDPR.
In rare cases, the processing of personal data might become necessary to protect vital interests of the data subject or another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor were to be injured on our premises and as a result their name, age, health insurance data or other vital information had to be passed on to a doctor, hospital or other third party. In this case, the processing would be based on Art. 6 (1) lit. d GDPR.
Finally, processing operations could be based on Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR. Processing operations which are not covered by any of the aforementioned legal bases are based on this legal basis if the processing is necessary for the protection of a legitimate interest of our company or a third party, provided that the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not overweigh. We are permitted to carry out such processing operations in particular because they have been specifically mentioned by the European law. In this respect, the legislature took the view that a legitimate interest could be assumed if you are a customer of our company (Recital 47, Sentence 2 GDPR)..
Our offer is inherently aimed at adults. Persons under 16 years of age may not transmit any personal data to us without the consent of their parents or legal guardians. We do not request personal data from children and adolescents, do not collect it and do not pass it on to third parties.
Your personal data will not be conveyed to third parties for purposes other than those listed below.
We will only share/convey your personal data with third parties if:
In order to protect your data and to enable us to transfer data to third countries (outside the EU/EEA) if necessary, we have concluded a corresponding agreement on the basis of GDPR for commissioned processingbased on the standard contractual clauses of the European Commission. If the standard contractual clauses are not sufficient to establish an adequate level of security, your consent pursuant to Art. 49 para. 1 lit. a GDPR may serve as the legal basis for the transfer to third countries. This may not apply to data transfers to third countries for which the European Commission has issued an adequacy decision pursuant to Art. 45 GDPR.
This site uses SSL or TLS encryption to guarantee the security of data processing and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders, login data or contact enquiries that you send to us as the operator. You can recognise an encrypted connection by the fact that the address bar of the browser contains a "https://" instead of a "http://" and by the lock symbol in your browser bar.
We use this technology to protect your transmitted data.
If you only use our website for informational purposes, i.e. if you do not register or otherwise provide us with information, we only collect the data your browser sends our server (in what is known as "server log files"). Our website collects a range of general data and information each time you access a website or an automated system. This general data and information is stored in the server?s log files. It may be collected.
When using this general data and information, we do not draw any conclusions about your person. Rather, this information is required to
Therefore, the data and information collected will be used by us for statistical purposes only and for the purpose of increasing the data protection and data security of our enterprise to ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data we process. The data of the server log files is stored separately from any personal data provided by a data subject.
The legal basis for data processing is Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR. Our legitimate interest follows from the purposes for data collection listed above.
If, after concluding a paid contract, there is an obligation to provide us with your payment data (e.g. the account number when granting direct debit authorisation), this data is required for the processing of payments.
Payment transactions via the common means of payment (Visa/MasterCard or direct debit) are made exclusively via an encrypted SSL or TLS connection. You can recognise an encrypted connection by the fact that the address bar of the browser contains a "https://" instead of a "http://" and by the lock symbol in your browser bar.
We use this technology to protect your transmitted data.
We use cookies on our website. Cookies are small files that are automatically created by your browser and stored on your IT system (laptop, tablet, smartphone or similar) when you visit our website.
Information generated from the specific device used is stored in cookies. This does not mean, however, that we will gain immediate knowledge of your identity.
The use of cookies helps us make it more convenient for you to use our website. For example, we use session cookies to detect whether you have already visited individual pages on our website. These are erased automatically when you leave our website.
In addition, we also use temporary cookies to optimise user-friendliness, which are stored on your end device for a specific period of time. If you visit our site again to use our services, it is automatically recognised that you have already been with us and which entries and settings you have made so that you do not have to enter them again.
We also use cookies to statistically record the use of our website and to evaluate our offer for you for the purpose of optimisation. These cookies enable us to automatically recognise that you have already visited our website when you visit it again. The cookies set in this way are automatically deleted after a defined period of time. The respective storage period of the cookies can be found in the settings of the consent tool used.
The data processed by the cookies, which are required for the proper functioning of the website, are thus necessary to protect our legitimate interests as well as those of third parties in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR.
For all other cookies, the following applies: You have given your consent to this within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR via our opt-in cookie banner.
We use the Consent Management Plattform "Usercentrics" of Usercentrics GmbH, Sendlinger Str. 7, 80331 Munich, Germany. This service allows us to obtain and manage the consent of website users for data processing.
Usercentrics collects data generated by end users who use our website. When an end user provides consent, Usercentrics automatically logs the following data:
The consent status is also stored in the end user's browser so that the website can automatically read and follow the end user's consent in all subsequent page requests and future end user sessions for up to 12 months. Consent data (consent and withdrawal of consent) is stored for three years. The retention period corresponds to the regular limitation period according to § of the German Civil Code (Bürgerliches Gesetzbuch [BGB]). The data is then deleted immediately or passed on to the responsible person in the form of a data export upon request.
The functionality of the website is not guaranteed without the described processing. There is no possibility of objection for the user as long as there is a legal obligation to obtain the user's consent to certain data processing operations (Art. 7 (1), 6 (1) lit. c GDPR).
Usercentrics is a recipient of your personal data and acts as a processor for us.
Additional information on the service can be found at the following link: https://usercentrics.com/privacy-policy/.
You have the option of registering on our website by providing personal data.
Which personal data is transmitted to us in this process can be seen from the respective input mask used for registration. The personal data you enter is collected and stored exclusively for internal use by us and for our own purposes. We may arrange for data to be passed on to one or more data processors, for example a parcel service provider, who will also use the personal data exclusively for an internal use attributable to us.
By registering on our website, the IP address assigned by your internet service provider (ISP), the date and the time of registration are also stored. This is done only for the purpose of preventing our services from being misused. If necessary, this data may be used to clarify the situation surrounding any crimes committed. In this respect, the storage of this data is necessary for our protection. As a matter of principle, this data is not disclosed to third parties. This does not apply if we are legally obliged to pass on the data or if the data is passed on for the purpose of criminal prosecution.
Your registration, including voluntary provision of personal data, also serves us to offer you content or services which, due to the nature of the matter, can only be offered to registered users. Registered persons are free to change the personal data provided during registration at any time or to have it completely erased from our database.
Upon request, we will provide you at any time with information about which personal data is stored about you. Furthermore, we will correct or delete personal data at your request, insofar as this does not conflict with any statutory retention obligations. A data protection officer named in this Privacy Policy and all other employees are available to the data subject as contact persons in this context.
The processing of your data is in the interest of a convenient and easy use of our website. This constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR.
Pursuant to Art. 6 (1) lit. b GDPR, personal data is collected and processed if you provide it to us for the execution of a contract or when opening a customer account. Which data is collected can be seen from the respective input forms. Deletion of your customer account is possible at any time and can be done by sending a message to the above address of the person responsible. We store and use the data provided by you for the purpose of processing the contract. After complete execution of the contract or deletion of your customer account, your data will be blocked taking into account tax and commercial law retention periods and deleted after expiry of these periods, unless you have expressly consented to further use of your data or we are legally permitted to the further use of your data, about which we inform you accordingly below.
The personal data collected by us will be passed on to the transport company commissioned with the delivery as part of the contract execution, insofar as this is necessary for the delivery of the goods. We disclose your payment data to the commissioned credit institution within the scope of payment processing, insofar as this is necessary for payment processing. If payment service providers are used, we will explicitly inform you about this below. The legal basis for the transfer of data is Art. 6 (1) lit. b GDPR.
We only transmit personal data to third parties if this is necessary within the scope of the data protection agreement, for example to the companies entrusted with the delivery of the goods or to the credit institution entrusted with the payment processing. Further transmission of data does not take place or only if you have expressly consented to the transmission. Your data will not be passed on to third parties without your express consent, for example for advertising purposes.
The basis for data processing is Art. 6 (1) lit. b GDPR, which permits the processing of data for the fulfilment of contracts or pre-contractual measures.
Personal data is collected when contacting us (e.g. via contact form or e-mail). Which data is collected in the case of the use of a contact form can be seen from the respective contact form. This data is stored and used exclusively for the purpose of answering your request or for contacting you and the associated technical administration. The legal basis for processing the data is our legitimate interest in responding to your request in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR. If your contact is aimed at concluding a contract, the additional legal basis for processing is Art. 6 (1) lit. b GDPR. Your data will be deleted after final processing of your request; this is the case if it can be inferred from the circumstances that the matter concerned has been conclusively clarified and the deletion does not conflict with any legal obligations to retain data.
We collect and process the personal data of applicants for the purpose of processing the application procedure. The processing may also take place electronically. This is particularly the case if an applicant submits the relevant application documents to us electronically, for example by e-mail or via a web form on the website. If we conclude an employment or service contract with an applicant, the transmitted data will be stored for the purpose of processing the employment relationship in compliance with the statutory provisions. If we do not conclude a contract with the applicant, the application documents are automatically deleted two months after notification of the rejection decision, provided that no other legitimate interests on our part oppose deletion. Another legitimate interest in this sense is, for example, a duty to provide evidence in proceedings under the German Equal Treatment Act (Allgemeines Gleichbehandlungsgesetz [AGG]).
The legal basis for processing your data is Art. 88 GDPR icw § 26 (1) German Federal Data Protection Act (Bundesdatenschutzgesetz [BDSG]).
On our website you can participate in a customer satisfaction survey. It is not necessary to provide personal data to participate in the survey.
As a thank you and token of our appreciation for your feedback and time spent, you will be given the opportunity to receive a gift if you provide your address.
When participating in the survey, only data related to your visit to the website will be collected. Which personal data is transmitted to us when ordering the gift is determined by the input mask used for this purpose. We use your data and the knowledge gained from the customer survey to improve the service we offer. When you enter your contact details, we process the data exclusively for the purpose of sending you the gift. The collection of this data is necessary to send your gift. The information is voluntary. No personal data collected in the course of the indication will be disclosed to third parties except to the shipping service provider. The consent to the processing of personal data that you have given us for shipping can be revoked at any time, in which case the data will be deleted after shipping has taken place.
The legal basis for data processing for the purpose of sending gifts is Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR.
On our website you are given the opportunity to subscribe to our company newsletter. What personal data is transmitted to us when ordering the newsletter, is determined by the input mask used for this purpose.
We use our newsletter to regularly communicate our offers to our customers and business partners. You can, therefore, only receive our company?s newsletter if
For legal reasons, a confirmation e-mail will be sent to the e-mail address that you entered for the first time for the newsletter dispatch using the double opt-in procedure. This confirmation e-mail is used to verify that you, as the owner of the e-mail address, have authorized the receipt of the newsletter.
When you register for the newsletter, we also store the IP address assigned by your Internet service provider (ISP) of the IT system used by you at the time of registration, as well as the date and time of registration. The collection of this data is necessary in order to be able to trace the (possible) misuse of your e-mail address at a later date and therefore serves our legal protection.
The personal data collected in the context of a registration for the newsletter will be used exclusively for sending our newsletter. Furthermore, subscribers to the newsletter could be informed by e-mail if this is necessary for the operation of the newsletter service or a related registration, as could be the case in the event of changes to the newsletter offer or changes in technical circumstances. No personal data collected as part of the newsletter service will be passed on to third parties. The subscription to our newsletter can be cancelled by you at any time. The consent to the storage of personal data that you have given us for the newsletter dispatch can be revoked at any time. For the purpose of revoking the consent, you will find a corresponding link in each newsletter. Furthermore, it is also possible to unsubscribe from the newsletter mailing directly on our website at any time or to inform us of this in another way.
The legal basis for data processing for the purpose of sending newsletters is Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR.
Our newsletters contain so-called tracking pixels. A tracking pixel is a miniature graphic that is embedded in such e-mails 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. By means of the embedded tracking pixel, the company can see if and when an e-mail was opened by you and which, in the e-mail located links were called by you.
Such personal data collected via the tracking pixels contained in the newsletters are stored and evaluated by us in order to optimize the newsletter dispatch and to better adapt the content of future newsletters to your interests. This personal data will not be passed on to third parties. Data subjects are entitled at any time to revoke the separate declaration of consent given in this regard via the double opt-in procedure. After a revocation, this personal data will be deleted by us. We automatically interpret a withdrawal from the receipt of the newsletter as a revocation.
Such an evaluation is carried out in particular in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interests in the insertion of personalized advertising, market research and/or needs-based design of our website.
To allow us to communicate with you on social networks and inform you about our services, we run our own pages on these social networks. If you visit one of our social media pages, we and the provider of the social media network are joint controllers (Art. 26 GDPR) regarding to the processing operations triggered thereby, which concern personal data.
We are not the original provider of these pages, but only use them within the scope of the options offered to us by the respective providers
We would therefore like to point out as a precautionary measure that your data may also be processed outside of the European Union or the European Economic Area. Use of these networks may therefore involve data protection risks for you since the protection of your rights may be difficult, e.g. your rights to information, erasure, objection, etc. Processing on social networks frequently takes place directly for advertising purposes or for the analysis of user behaviour by network providers, and we have no control over this. If the provider creates user profiles, cookies are often used or user behaviour may be assigned directly to your own member profile on the respective social network (if you are logged in).
The processing operations of personal data described are carried out in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interests and the legitimate interests of the respective provider in order to communicate with you in a timely manner or to inform you about our services. If you have to grant your consent to the respective providers to process your data as a user, the legal basis for this processing is Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR in conjunction with Art. 7 GDPR.
Since we have no access to these providers? databases, we would like to point out that you would be best placed to exercise your rights (e.g. to information, rectification, erasure, etc.) directly with the respective provider. More information on the processing of your data on social networks and your options for exercising your right to object or your right of revocation (opt out) is listed below for each of the social network providers we use:

We have integrated Google Remarketing services on this website. The company operating the Google Remarketing services is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. Google Remarketing is a function of Google AdWords that enables a company to display advertisements to Internet users who have previously visited the company's website. The integration of Google Remarketing thus allows a company to create user-related advertising and consequently to display interest-relevant advertisements to the Internet user.
The purpose of Google Remarketing is the display of interest-relevant advertising. Google Remarketing enables us to display advertisements via the Google advertising network or to have them displayed on other Internet pages, which are tailored to the individual needs and interests of Internet users.
Google Remarketing sets a cookie on the IT system of the data subject. By setting the cookie, Google can recognise the visitors to our website when they subsequently visits websites that are also members of the Google advertising network. Each time you visit a website on which the Google Remarketing service has been integrated, your internet browser automatically identifies itself to Google. Within the scope of this technical procedure, Google obtains knowledge of personal data, such as your IP address or surfing behaviour, which Google uses, among other things, to display interest-relevant advertising.
The cookie is used to store personal information, such as the websites you visit. Each time you visit our website, personal data, including your IP address, is transmitted to Google in the United States of America. This personal data is stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may pass on this personal data collected via the technical procedure to third parties.
These processing operations are carried out exclusively when explicit consent is given in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR.
Additional information on the service can be found at the following link: https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/ abgerufen werden.
We have integrated the Matomo component of the provider InnoCraft Ltd, 150 Willis St, 6011 Wellington, New Zealand, on this website. Matomo is a software tool for web analysis, i.e. for elicitation, collection and evaluation of data on the behaviour of visitors to our websites. Among other things, data is collected about the website from which a data subject has accessed a website (so-called referrer), which sub-pages of the website have been accessed or how often and for how long a sub-page has been viewed. This is used to optimise the website and for cost-benefit analysis of internet advertising.
The software is operated on the server of the controller, the data protection-sensitive log files are stored exclusively on this server.
Matomo stores a cookie on your IT system. Setting the cookie enables us to analyse the use of our website. Each time one of the individual pages of this website is called up, the internet browser on your IT system is automatically prompted by the Matomo component to transmit data to our server for the purpose of online analysis. As part of this technical procedure, we obtain knowledge of personal data, such as the IP address of the person concerned, which we use, among other things, to trace the origin of visitors and clicks.
By using the cookie, personal information such as the access time, the location from which an access originated and the frequency of visits to our website are stored. Each time you visit our website, this personal data, including the IP address of the internet connection you are using, is transmitted to our server. This personal data is stored by us. We do not pass on this personal data to third parties.
These processing operations are only carried out when express consent is given in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR.
Additional information on the service can be found at the following link: https://matomo.org/privacy/ abgerufen werden.
Our website uses the functions of Google Ads. We use these to advertise this website in Google search results and on third-party websites. The provider is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland ("Google"). For this purpose, Google sets a cookie in the browser of your terminal device, which automatically enables interest-based advertising by means of a pseudonymous cookie ID and on the basis of the pages you have visited.
Additional data processing will only take place if you have granted Google permission to link your internet and app browsing history to your Google Account and to use information from your Google Account to personalise the ads you view on the web. In this case, if you are logged into Google while visiting our website, Google will use your data together with Google Analytics data to create and define target group lists for cross-device remarketing. For this purpose, your personal data will be temporarily linked by Google with Google Analytics data in order to form said target groups.
These processing operations are only carried out when express consent is given in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR.
Additional information on the service can be found at the following link: https://www.google.com/policies/technologies/ads/.
We have integrated Google Ads on this website. The operating company of the Google Ads services is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. Google Ads is an Internet advertising service that allows advertisers to place ads both in Google's search engine results and in the Google advertising network. Google Ads allows an advertiser to specify certain keywords in advance, by means of which an ad is displayed in Google's search engine results exclusively when the user retrieves a keyword-relevant search result using the search engine. In the Google advertising network, the ads are distributed on topic-relevant websites by means of an automatic algorithm and in compliance with the previously defined keywords.
The purpose of Google Ads is to promote our website by displaying interest-relevant advertisements ads on the websites of third-party companies and in the search engine results of the Google search engine and a display of third-party advertisements on our website.
If you access our website via a Google ad, a so-called conversion cookie is stored on your IT system by Google. A conversion cookie loses its validity after thirty days and is not used to identify you. If the cookie has not yet expired, the conversion cookie is used to track whether certain sub-pages, for example the shopping cart of an online store system, have been called up on our website. Through the conversion cookie, both we and Google can track whether a user has reached our website via an AdWords ad, generated a turnover, i.e. completed or cancelled a purchase of goods.
The data and information collected through the use of the conversion cookie are used by Google to create visit statistics for our website. These visit statistics are in turn used by us to determine the total number of users who were referred to us via ads, i.e. to determine the success or failure of the respective Ads ad and to optimize our Ads ads for the future. Neither our company nor other advertisers of Google Ads receive information from Google by means of which you could be identified.
By means of the conversion cookie, personal information, for example the Internet pages visited by you, is stored. Each time you visit our website, personal data, including the IP address of the internet connection you use, is transmitted to Google in the United States of America. This personal data is stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may pass on these personal data collected via the technical procedure to third parties.
These processing operations are carried out exclusively when explicit consent is given in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR.
Additional information on the service can be found at the following link: https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/.
This website contains components of DoubleClick by Google. DoubleClick is a brand of Google (Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland), under which special online marketing solutions are marketed to advertising agencies and publishers.
DoubleClick by Google transmits data to the DoubleClick server with each impression as well as with clicks or other activities. Each of these data transfers triggers a cookie request to your browser. If the browser accepts this request, DoubleClick sets a cookie on your IT system. The purpose of the cookie is to optimize and display advertising. The cookie is used, among other things, to serve and display user-relevant advertising and to generate reports on advertising campaigns or to improve them. Furthermore, the cookie is used to avoid multiple displays of the same advertising.
DoubleClick uses a cookie ID, which is necessary to handle the technical process. The cookie ID is required, for example, to display an advertisement in a browser. DoubleClick can also use the cookie ID to record which advertisements have already been displayed in a browser in order to avoid duplicate placements. Furthermore, the cookie ID enables DoubleClick to record conversions.
A DoubleClick cookie does not contain any personal data. However, a DoubleClick cookie may contain additional campaign identifiers. A campaign identifier is used to identify the campaigns with which you have already been in contact.
Whenever you call up one of the individual pages of this website that is operated by us and on which a DoubleClick component has been integrated, the Internet browser on your IT system is caused by the respective DoubleClick component to transmit data to Google for the purpose of online advertising and the settlement of commissions. As part of this technical process, Google obtains knowledge of data that Google also uses to generate commission statements. Among other things, Google can track that you have clicked on certain links on our website.
These processing operations are carried out exclusively when explicit consent is given in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR.
Additional information on the service can be found at the following link: https://www.google.com/intl/de/policies/.
We use the tool "Microsoft Teams" ("MS-Teams") to conduct our communication both in written form (chat) and in the form of telephone conferences, online meetings and video conferences. The operating company of the service is Microsoft Ireland Operations ("Microsoft"), Ltd., 70 Sir John Rogerson's Quay, Dublin, Ireland. Microsoft Ireland Operations, Ltd. is part of the Microsoft group of companies headquartered at One Microsoft Way, Redmond, Washington, USA.
When using MS Teams, the following personal data are processed:
To enable the display of video and the playback of audio, data from your end device microphone and from an end device video camera will be processed for the duration of the meeting. You can turn off or mute the camera or microphone yourself at any time using the "Microsoft Teams" applications.
