Privacy Policy
We are very
delighted that you have shown interest in our enterprise. Data protection is of
a particularly high priority for the management of the Ekalavya E-Educate.. The
use of the Internet pages of the Ekalavya E-Educate. is possible without any
indication of personal data; however, if a data subject wants to use special
enterprise services via our website, processing of personal data could become
necessary. If the processing of personal data is necessary and there is no
statutory basis for such processing, we generally obtain consent from the data
subject.

Regulation (GDPR), and in accordance with the country-specific data protection
regulations applicable to the Ekalavya E-Educate By means of this data
protection declaration, our enterprise would like to inform the general public
of the nature, scope, and purpose of the personal data we collect, use and
process. Furthermore, data subjects are informed, by means of this data
protection declaration, of the rights to which they are entitled.
As the controller, the Ekalavya E-Educate has implemented numerous technical and organizational
measures to ensure the most complete protection of personal data processed
through this website. However, Internet-based data transmissions may in
principle have security gaps, so absolute protection may not be guaranteed. For
this reason, every data subject is free to transfer personal data to us via
alternative means, e.g. by telephone.

Cookies
The Internet pages
of the Ekalavya e-Educate. use cookies. Cookies are text files that are stored in
a computer system via an Internet browser.
Many Internet sites
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 character string
through which Internet pages and servers can be assigned to the specific
Internet browser in which the cookie was stored. This allows visited Internet
sites and servers to differentiate the individual browser of the dats subject
from other Internet browsers that contain other cookies. A specific Internet
browser can be recognized and identified using the unique cookie ID.
Through the use of
cookies, the Ekalavya e-Educate can provide the users of this website with more
user-friendly services that would not be possible without the cookie setting.
By means of a
cookie, the information and offers on our website can be optimized with the
user in mind. Cookies allow us, as previously mentioned, to recognize our
website users. The purpose of this recognition is to make it easier for users
to utilize our website. The website user that uses cookies, e.g. does not have
to enter access data each time the website is accessed, because this is taken
over by the website, and the cookie is thus stored on the user’s computer
system. Another example is the cookie of a shopping cart in an online shop. The
online store remembers the articles that a customer has placed in the virtual
shopping cart via a cookie.
The data subject
may, at any time, prevent the setting of cookies through our website by means
of a corresponding setting of the Internet browser used, and may thus
permanently deny the setting of cookies. Furthermore, already set cookies may
be deleted at any time via an Internet browser or other software programs. This
is possible in all popular Internet browsers. If the data subject deactivates
the setting of cookies in the Internet browser used, not all functions of our
website may be entirely usable.

Collection of general
data and information
The website of the Ekalavya
Academy. collects a series of general data and information when a data subject
or automated system calls up the website. This general data and information are
stored in the server log files. Collected may be (1) the browser types and
versions used, (2) the operating system used by the accessing system, (3) the
website from which an accessing system reaches our website (so-called
referrers), (4) the sub-websites, (5) the date and time of access to the
Internet site, (6) an Internet protocol address (IP address), (7) the Internet
service provider of the accessing system, and (8) any other similar data and
information that may be used in the event of attacks on our information
technology systems.
When using these
general data and information, the Ekalavya e-Educate. does not draw any conclusions
about the data subject. Rather, this information is needed to (1) deliver the
content of our website correctly, (2) optimize the content of our website as
well as its advertisement, (3) ensure the long-term viability of our
information technology systems and website technology, and (4) provide law
enforcement authorities with the information necessary for criminal prosecution
in case of a cyber-attack. Therefore, the Ekalavya e-Educate analyzes
anonymously collected data and information statistically, with the aim of
increasing the data protection and data security of our enterprise, and to
ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data we process. The
anonymous data of the server log files are stored separately from all personal
data provided by a data subject.
Registration on our
website
The data subject
has the possibility to register on the website of the controller with the
indication of personal data. Which personal data are transmitted to the
controller is determined by the respective input mask used for the
registration. The personal data entered by the data subject are collected and
stored exclusively for internal use by the controller, and for his own
purposes. The controller may request transfer to one or more processors (e.g. a
parcel service) that also uses personal data for an internal purpose which is
attributable to the controller.
By registering on
the website of the controller, the IP address—assigned by the Internet service
provider (ISP) and used by the data subject—date, and time of the registration
are also stored. The storage of this data takes place against the background
that this is the only way to prevent the misuse of our services, and, if
necessary, to make it possible to investigate committed offenses. Insofar, the
storage of this data is necessary to secure the controller. This data is not
passed on to third parties unless there is a statutory obligation to pass on
the data, or if the transfer serves the aim of criminal prosecution.
The registration of
the data subject, with the voluntary indication of personal data, is intended
to enable the controller to offer the data subject contents or services that
may only be offered to registered users due to the nature of the matter in
question. Registered persons are free to change the personal data specified
during the registration at any time, or to have them completely deleted from
the data stock of the controller.
The data controller
shall, at any time, provide information upon request to each data subject as to
what personal data are stored about the data subject. In addition, the data
controller shall correct or erase personal data at the request or indication of
the data subject, insofar as there are no statutory storage obligations. The
entirety of the controller’s employees are available to the data subject in
this respect as contact persons.
Subscription to our
newsletters
On the website of
the Ekalavya e-Educate, users are given the opportunity to subscribe to our
enterprise’s newsletter. The input mask used for this purpose determines what
personal data are transmitted, as well as when the newsletter is ordered from
the controller.
The Ekalavy e-Educate. informs its customers and business partners regularly by means of a
newsletter about enterprise offers. The enterprise’s newsletter may 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 shipping. A confirmation
e-mail will be sent to the e-mail address registered by a data subject for the
first time for newsletter shipping, for legal reasons, in the double opt-in
procedure. This confirmation e-mail is used to prove whether the owner of the
e-mail address as the data subject is authorized to receive the newsletter.
During the
registration for the newsletter, we also store the IP address of the computer
system assigned by the Internet service provider (ISP) and used by the data
subject at the time of the registration, as well as the date and time of the
registration. The collection of this data is necessary in order to understand
the (possible) misuse of the e-mail address of a data subject at a later date,
and it therefore serves the aim of the legal protection of the controller.
The personal data collected
as part of a registration for the newsletter will only be used to send our
newsletter. In addition, subscribers to the newsletter may be informed by
e-mail, as long as this is necessary for the operation of the newsletter
service or a registration in question, as this could be the case in the event
of modifications to the newsletter offer, or in the event of a change in
technical circumstances. There will be no transfer of personal data collected
by the newsletter service to third parties. The subscription to our newsletter
may be terminated by the data subject at any time. The consent to the storage
of personal data, which the data subject has given for shipping the newsletter,
may be revoked at any time. For the purpose of revocation of consent, a
corresponding link is found in each newsletter. It is also possible to
unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time directly on the website of the
controller, or to communicate this to the controller in a different way.
Newsletter-Tracking
The newsletter of
the Ekalavya e-Educate. contains so-called tracking pixels. A tracking pixel is a
miniature graphic embedded in such e-mails, which are sent in HTML format to
enable log file recording and analysis. This allows a statistical analysis of
the success or failure of online marketing campaigns. Based on the embedded
tracking pixel, the Ekalavya Academy. may see if and when an e-mail was opened
by a data subject, and which links in the e-mail were called up by data
subjects.
Such personal data
collected in the tracking pixels contained in the newsletters are stored and
analyzed by the controller in order to optimize the shipping of the newsletter,
as well as to adapt the content of future newsletters even better to the
interests of the data subject. These personal data will not be passed on to
third parties. Data subjects are at any time entitled to revoke the respective
separate declaration of consent issued by means of the double-opt-in procedure.
After a revocation, these personal data will be deleted by the controller. The Ekalavya e-Educate. automatically regards a withdrawal from the receipt of the newsletter
as a revocation.
Contact possibility via
the website
The website of the Ekalavya e-Educate. contains information that enables a quick electronic contact to our
enterprise, as well as direct communication with us, which also includes a
general address of the so-called electronic mail (e-mail address). If a data
subject contacts the controller by e-mail or via a contact form, the personal
data transmitted by the data subject are automatically stored. Such personal
data transmitted on a voluntary basis by a data subject to the data controller
are stored for the purpose of processing or contacting the data subject. There
is no transfer of this personal data to third parties.
Routine erasure and
blocking of personal data

Data protection
provisions about the application and use of Facebook
On this website,
the controller has integrated components of the enterprise Facebook. Facebook
is a social network.
A social network is
a place for social meetings on the Internet, an online community, which usually
allows users to communicate with each other and interact in a virtual space. A
social network may serve as a platform for the exchange of opinions and
experiences, or enable the Internet community to provide personal or
business-related information. Facebook allows social network users to include
the creation of private profiles, upload photos, and network through friend
requests.
The operating
company of Facebook is Facebook, Inc., 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025,
United States. If a person lives outside of the United States or Canada, the
controller is the Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal
Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland.
With each call-up
to one of the individual pages of this Internet website, which is operated by
the controller and into which a Facebook component (Facebook plug-ins) was
integrated, the web browser on the information technology system of the data
subject is automatically prompted to download display of the corresponding
Facebook component from Facebook through the Facebook component. An overview of
all the Facebook Plug-ins may be accessed under
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/. During the course of this
technical procedure, Facebook is made aware of what specific sub-site of our
website was visited by the data subject.
If the data subject
is logged in at the same time on Facebook, Facebook 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-site of our Internet page was visited by
the data subject. This information is collected through the Facebook component
and associated with the respective Facebook account of the data subject. If the
data subject clicks on one of the Facebook buttons integrated into our website,
e.g. the “Like” button, or if the data subject submits a comment, then Facebook
matches this information with the personal Facebook user account of the data
subject and stores the personal data.
Facebook always
receives, through the Facebook component, information about a visit to our
website by the data subject, whenever the data subject is logged in at the same
time on Facebook during the time of the call-up to our website. This occurs
regardless of whether the data subject clicks on the Facebook component or not.
If such a transmission of information to Facebook is not desirable for the data
subject, then he or she may prevent this by logging off from their Facebook
account before a call-up to our website is made.
The data protection
guideline published by Facebook, which is available at
https://facebook.com/about/privacy/, provides information about the collection,
processing and use of personal data by Facebook. In addition, it is explained
there what setting options Facebook offers to protect the privacy of the data
subject. In addition, different configuration options are made available to
allow the elimination of data transmission to Facebook. These applications may
be used by the data subject to eliminate a data transmission to Facebook.
Data protection
provisions about the application and use of Google AdSense
On this website,
the controller has integrated Google AdSense. Google AdSense is an online
service which allows the placement of advertising on third-party sites. Google
AdSense is based on an algorithm that selects advertisements displayed on
third-party sites to match with the content of the respective third-party site.
Google AdSense allows an interest-based targeting of the Internet user, which
is implemented by means of generating individual user profiles.
The operating
company of Google’s AdSense component is Alphabet Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy,
Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, United States.
The purpose of
Google’s AdSense component is the integration of advertisements on our website.
Google AdSense places a cookie on the information technology system of the data
subject. The definition of cookies is explained above. With the setting of the
cookie, Alphabet Inc. is enabled to analyze the use of our website. With each
call-up to one of the individual pages of this Internet site, which is operated
by the controller and into which a Google AdSense component is integrated, the
Internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject will
automatically submit data through the Google AdSense component for the purpose
of online advertising and the settlement of commissions to Alphabet Inc. During
the course of this technical procedure, the enterprise Alphabet Inc. gains
knowledge of personal data, such as the IP address of the data subject, which
serves Alphabet Inc., inter alia, to understand the origin of visitors and
clicks and subsequently create commission settlements.
The data subject
may, as stated above, prevent the setting of cookies through our website at any
time by means of a corresponding adjustment of the web browser used and thus
permanently deny the setting of cookies. Such an adjustment to the Internet
browser used would also prevent Alphabet Inc. from setting a cookie on the
information technology system of the data subject. Additionally, cookies
already in use by Alphabet Inc. may be deleted at any time via a web browser or
other software programs.
Furthermore, Google
AdSense also uses so-called tracking pixels. A tracking pixel is a miniature
graphic that is embedded in web pages to enable a log file recording and a log
file analysis through which a statistical analysis may be performed. Based on
the embedded tracking pixels, Alphabet Inc. is able to determine if and when a
website was opened by a data subject, and which links were clicked on by the
data subject. Tracking pixels serve, inter alia, to analyze the flow of
visitors on a website.
Through Google
AdSense, personal data and information—which also includes the IP address, and
is necessary for the collection and accounting of the displayed
advertisements—is transmitted to Alphabet Inc. in the United States of America.
These personal data will be stored and processed in the United States of
America. The Alphabet Inc. may disclose the collected personal data through
this technical procedure to third parties.
Google AdSense is
further explained under the following link https://www.google.com/intl/en/adsense/start/.
Data protection
provisions about the application and use of Google Analytics (with

anonymizer function). Google Analytics is a web analytics service. Web
analytics is the collection, gathering, and analysis of data about the behavior
of visitors to websites. A web analysis service collects, inter alia, data
about the website from which a person has come (the so-called referrer), which
sub-pages were visited, or how often and for what duration a sub-page was
viewed. Web analytics are mainly used for the optimization of a website and in
order to carry out a cost-benefit analysis of Internet advertising.
The operator of the
Google Analytics component is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain
View, CA 94043-1351, United States.
For the web
analytics through Google Analytics the controller uses the application “_gat.
_anonymizeIp”. By means of this application the IP address of the Internet
connection of the data subject is abridged by Google and anonymised when
accessing our websites from a Member State of the European Union or another
Contracting State to the Agreement on the European Economic Area.
The purpose of the
Google Analytics component is to analyze the traffic on our website. Google
uses the collected data and information, inter alia, to evaluate the use of our
website and to provide online reports, which show the activities on our
websites, and to provide other services concerning the use of our Internet site
for us.
Google Analytics
places a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. The
definition of cookies is explained above. With the setting of the cookie,
Google is enabled to analyze the use of our website. With each call-up to one
of the individual pages of this Internet site, which is operated by the
controller and into which a Google Analytics component was integrated, the
Internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject will
automatically submit data through the Google Analytics component for the
purpose of online advertising and the settlement of commissions to Google.
During the course of this technical procedure, the enterprise Google gains knowledge
of personal information, such as the IP address of the data subject, which
serves Google, inter alia, to understand the origin of visitors and clicks, and
subsequently create commission settlements.
The cookie is used
to store personal information, such as the access time, the location from which
the access was made, and the frequency of visits of our website by the data
subject. With each visit to our Internet site, such personal data, including
the IP address of the Internet access used by the data subject, will be
transmitted to Google in the United States of America. These personal data are
stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may pass these
personal data collected through the technical procedure to third parties.
The data subject
may, as stated above, prevent the setting of cookies through our website at any
time by means of a corresponding adjustment of the web browser used and thus
permanently deny the setting of cookies. Such an adjustment to the Internet
browser used would also prevent Google Analytics from setting a cookie on the
information technology system of the data subject. In addition, cookies already
in use by Google Analytics may be deleted at any time via a web browser or
other software programs.
In addition, the data
subject has the possibility of objecting to a collection of data that are
generated by Google Analytics, which is related to the use of this website, as
well as the processing of this data by Google and the chance to preclude any
such. For this purpose, the data subject must download a browser add-on under
the link https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout and install it. This browser
add-on tells Google Analytics through a JavaScript, that any data and
information about the visits of Internet pages may not be transmitted to Google
Analytics. The installation of the browser add-ons is considered an objection
by Google. If the information technology system of the data subject is later
deleted, formatted, or newly installed, then the data subject must reinstall
the browser add-ons to disable Google Analytics. If the browser add-on was
uninstalled by the data subject or any other person who is attributable to
their sphere of competence, or is disabled, it is possible to execute the
reinstallation or reactivation of the browser add-ons.
Further information
and the applicable data protection provisions of Google may be retrieved under

explained under the following Link https://www.google.com/analytics/.
Data protection
provisions about the application and use of Google Remarketing
On this website,
the controller has integrated Google Remarketing services. Google Remarketing
is a feature of Google AdWords, which allows an enterprise to display
advertising to Internet users who have previously resided on the enterprise’s
Internet site. The integration of Google Remarketing therefore allows an
enterprise to create user-based advertising and thus shows relevant
advertisements to interested Internet users.
The operating
company of the Google Remarketing services is the Google Inc., 1600
Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, United States.
The purpose of
Google Remarketing is the insertion of interest-relevant advertising. Google
Remarketing allows us to display ads on the Google network or on other
websites, which are based on individual needs and matched to the interests of
Internet users.
Google Remarketing
sets a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. The
definition of cookies is explained above. With the setting of the cookie,
Google enables a recognition of the visitor of our website if he calls up
consecutive web pages, which are also a member of the Google advertising
network. With each call-up to an Internet site on which the service has been
integrated by Google Remarketing, the web browser of the data subject
identifies automatically with Google. During the course of this technical
procedure, Google receives personal information, such as the IP address or the
surfing behaviour of the user, which Google uses, inter alia, for the insertion
of interest relevant advertising.
The cookie is used
to store personal information, e.g. the Internet pages visited by the data
subject. Each time we visit our Internet pages, personal data, including the IP
address of the Internet access used by the data subject, is transmitted to
Google in the United States of America. These personal data are stored by
Google in the United States of America. Google may pass these personal data
collected through the technical procedure to third parties.
The data subject
may, as stated above, prevent the setting of cookies through our website at any
time by means of a corresponding adjustment of the web browser used and thus
permanently deny the setting of cookies. Such an adjustment to the Internet
browser used would also prevent Google from setting a cookie on the information
technology system of the data subject. In addition, cookies already in use by
Google may be deleted at any time via a web browser or other software programs.
In addition, the
data subject has the possibility of objecting to the interest-based advertising
by Google. For this purpose, the data subject must call up the link to
www.google.de/settings/ads and make the desired settings on each Internet
browser used by the data subject.
Further information
and the actual data protection provisions of Google may be retrieved under
https://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy/.
Data protection
provisions about the application and use of Google+
On this website,
the controller has integrated the Google+ button as a component. Google+ is a
so-called social network. A social network is a social meeting place on the
Internet, an online community, which usually allows users to communicate with
each other and interact in a virtual space. A social network may serve as a
platform for the exchange of opinions and experiences, or enable the Internet
community to provide personal or business-related information. Google+ allows
users of the social network to include the creation of private profiles, upload
photos and network through friend requests.
The operating
company of Google+ is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA
94043-1351, UNITED STATES.
With each call-up
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 automatically
downloads a display of the corresponding Google+ button of Google through the
respective Google+ button component. During the course of this technical
procedure, Google is made aware of what specific sub-page of our website was
visited by the data subject. More detailed information about Google+ is
available under https://developers.google.com/+/.
If the data subject
is logged in at the same time to Google+, Google recognizes with each call-up
to our website by the data subject and for the entire duration of his or her
stay on our Internet site, which specific sub-pages of our Internet page were
visited by the data subject. This information is collected through the Google+
button and Google matches this with the respective Google+ account associated
with the data subject.
If the data subject
clicks on the Google+ button integrated on our website and thus gives a Google+
1 recommendation, then Google assigns this information to the personal Google+
user account of the data subject and stores the personal data. Google stores
the Google+ 1 recommendation of the data subject, making it publicly available
in accordance with the terms and conditions accepted by the data subject in
this regard. Subsequently, a Google+ 1 recommendation given by the data subject
on this website together with other personal data, such as the Google+ account
name used by the data subject and the stored photo, is stored and processed on
other Google services, such as search engine results of the Google search
engine, the Google account of the data subject or in other places, e.g. on
Internet pages, or in relation to advertisements. Google is also able to link
the visit to this website with other personal data stored on Google. Google
further records this personal information with the purpose of improving or
optimizing the various Google services.
Through the Google+
button, Google receives information that the data subject visited our website,
if the data subject at the time of the call-up to our website is logged in to
Google+. This occurs regardless of whether the data subject clicks or doesn’t
click on the Google+ button.
If the data subject
does not wish to transmit personal data to Google, he or she may prevent such
transmission by logging out of his Google+ account before calling up our
website.
Further information
and the data protection provisions of Google may be retrieved under
https://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy/. More references from Google
about the Google+ 1 button may be obtained under
https://developers.google.com/+/web/buttons-policy.
Data protection
provisions about the application and use of Google-AdWords
On this website,
the controller has integrated Google AdWords. Google AdWords is a service for
Internet advertising that allows the advertiser to place ads in Google search
engine results and the Google advertising network. Google AdWords allows an
advertiser to pre-define specific keywords with the help of which an ad on
Google’s search results only then displayed, when the user utilizes the search
engine to retrieve a keyword-relevant search result. In the Google Advertising
Network, the ads are distributed on relevant web pages using an automatic
algorithm, taking into account the previously defined keywords.
The operating
company of Google AdWords is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain
View, CA 94043-1351, UNITED STATES.
The purpose of
Google AdWords is the promotion of our website by the inclusion of relevant
advertising on the websites of third parties and in the search engine results
of the search engine Google and an insertion of third-party advertising on our
website.
If a data subject
reaches our website via a Google ad, a conversion cookie is filed on the
information technology system of the data subject through Google. The
definition of cookies is explained above. A conversion cookie loses its
validity after 30 days and is not used to identify the data subject. If the
cookie has not expired, the conversion cookie is used to check whether certain
sub-pages, e.g, the shopping cart from an online shop system, were called up on
our website. Through the conversion cookie, both Google and the controller can
understand whether a person who reached an AdWords ad on our website generated
sales, that is, executed or canceled a sale of goods.
The data and
information collected through the use of the conversion cookie is used by
Google to create visit statistics for our website. These visit statistics are
used in order to determine the total number of users who have been served
through AdWords ads to ascertain the success or failure of each AdWords ad and
to optimize our AdWords ads in the future. Neither our company nor other Google
AdWords advertisers receive information from Google that could identify the
data subject.
The conversion
cookie stores personal information, e.g. the Internet pages visited by the data
subject. Each time we visit our Internet pages, personal data, including the IP
address of the Internet access used by the data subject, is transmitted to
Google in the United States of America. These personal data are stored by
Google in the United States of America. Google may pass these personal data
collected through the technical procedure to third parties.
The data subject may,
at any time, prevent the setting of cookies by our website, as stated above, by
means of a corresponding setting of the Internet browser used and thus
permanently deny the setting of cookies. Such a setting of the Internet browser
used would also prevent Google from placing a conversion cookie on the
information technology system of the data subject. In addition, a cookie set by
Google AdWords may be deleted at any time via the Internet browser or other
software programs.
The data subject
has a possibility of objecting to the interest based advertisement of Google.
Therefore, the data subject must access from each of the browsers in use the
link www.google.de/settings/ads and set the desired settings.
Further information
and the applicable data protection provisions of Google may be retrieved under
https://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy/.
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.

Data protection
provisions about the application and use of Jetpack for WordPress
On this website,
the controller has integrated Jetpack. Jetpack is a WordPress plug-in, which
provides additional features to the operator of a website based on WordPress.
Jetpack allows the Internet site operator, inter alia, an overview of the
visitors of the site. By displaying related posts and publications, or the
ability to share content on the page, it is also possible to increase visitor
numbers. In addition, security features are integrated into Jetpack, so a
Jetpack-using site is better protected against brute-force attacks. Jetpack
also optimizes and accelerates the loading of images on the website.
The operating
company of Jetpack Plug-Ins for WordPress is the Automattic Inc., 132 Hawthorne
Street, San Francisco, CA 94107, UNITED STATES. The operating enterprise uses
the tracking technology created by Quantcast Inc., 201 Third Street, San
Francisco, CA 94103, UNITED STATES.
Jetpack sets a
cookie on the information technology system used by the data subject. The
definition of cookies is explained above. With each call-up to one of the
individual pages of this Internet site, which is operated by the controller and
on which a Jetpack component was integrated, the Internet browser on the
information technology system of the data subject is automatically prompted to
submit data through the Jetpack component for analysis purposes to Automattic.
During the course of this technical procedure Automattic receives data that is
used to create an overview of website visits. The data obtained in this way
serves the analysis of the behaviour of the data subject, which has access to
the Internet page of the controller and is analyzed with the aim to optimize
the website. The data collected through the Jetpack component is not used to
identify the data subject without a prior obtaining of a separate express
consent of the data subject. The data comes also to the notice of Quantcast.
Quantcast uses the data for the same purposes as Automattic.
The data subject
can, as stated above, prevent the setting of cookies through our website at any
time by means of a corresponding adjustment of the web browser used and thus
permanently deny the setting of cookies. Such an adjustment to the Internet
browser used would also prevent Automattic/Quantcast from setting a cookie on
the information technology system of the data subject. In addition, cookies
already in use by Automattic/Quantcast may be deleted at any time via a web
browser or other software programs.
In addition, the
data subject has the possibility of objecting to a collection of data relating
to a use of this Internet site that are generated by the Jetpack cookie as well
as the processing of these data by Automattic/Quantcast and the chance to
preclude any such. For this purpose, the data subject must press the ‘opt-out’
button under the link https://www.quantcast.com/opt-out/ which sets an opt-out
cookie. The opt-out cookie set with this purpose is placed on the information
technology system used by the data subject. If the cookies are deleted on the
system of the data subject, then the data subject must call up the link again
and set a new opt-out cookie.
With the setting of
the opt-out cookie, however, the possibility exists that the websites of the
controller are not fully usable anymore by the data subject.
The applicable data
protection provisions of Automattic may be accessed under
https://automattic.com/privacy/. The applicable data protection provisions of
Quantcast can be accessed under https://www.quantcast.com/privacy/.

solutions are marketed to advertising agencies and publishers.
The operating
company of DoubleClick by Google is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy,
Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, UNITED STATES.
DoubleClick by
Google transmits data to the DoubleClick server with each impression, clicks,
or other activity. Each of these data transfers triggers a cookie request to
the data subject’s browser. If the browser accepts this request, DoubleClick
uses a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. The
definition of cookies is explained above. The purpose of the cookie is the
optimization and display of advertising. The cookie is used, inter alia, to
display and place user-relevant advertising as well as to create or improve
reports on advertising campaigns. Furthermore, the cookie serves to avoid
multiple display of the same advertisement.
DoubleClick uses a
cookie ID that is required to execute the technical process. For example, the
cookie ID is required to display an advertisement in a browser. DoubleClick may
also use the Cookie ID to record which advertisements have already been
displayed in a browser in order to avoid duplications. It is also possible for
DoubleClick to track conversions through the cookie ID. For instance,
conversions are captured, when a user has previously been shown a DoubleClick
advertising ad, and he or she subsequently makes a purchase on the advertiser’s
website using the same Internet browser.
A cookie from
DoubleClick does not contain any personal data. However, a DoubleClick cookie
may contain additional campaign IDs. A campaign ID is used to identify
campaigns that the user has already been in contact with.
With each call-up
to one of the individual pages of this website, which is operated by the
controller and on which a DoubleClick component was integrated, the Internet
browser on the information technology system of the data subject is
automatically prompted by the respective DoubleClick component to send data for

Google may use to create commission calculations. Google may, inter alia,
understand that the data subject has clicked on certain links on our website.
The data subject
may, as stated above, prevent the setting of cookies through our website at any
time by means of a corresponding adjustment of the web browser used and thus
permanently deny the setting of cookies. Such an adjustment to the Internet
browser used would also prevent Google from setting a cookie on the information
technology system of the data subject. In addition, cookies already in use by
Google may be deleted at any time via a web browser or other software programs.
Further information
and the applicable data protection provisions of DoubleClick may be retrieved
under DoubleClick by Google https://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/.

is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is
party, as is the case, for example, when processing operations are necessary
for the supply of goods or to provide any other service, the processing is
based on Article 6(1) lit. b GDPR. The same applies to such processing operations
which are necessary for carrying out pre-contractual measures, for example in
the case of inquiries concerning our products or services. Is our company
subject to a legal obligation by which processing of personal data is required,
such as for the fulfillment of tax obligations, the processing is based on Art.
6(1) lit. c GDPR.
In rare cases, the processing of personal data may be necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or of another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor were injured in our company and his name, age, health insurance data or other vital information would have to be passed on to a doctor, hospital or other third party. Then the processing would be based on Art. 6(1) lit. d GDPR.
Finally, processing operations could be based on Article 6(1) lit. f GDPR. This legal basis is used for processing operations which are not covered by any of the abovementioned legal grounds, if processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by our company or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject which require protection of personal data. Such processing operations are particularly permissible because they have been specifically mentioned by the European legislator. He considered that a legitimate interest could be assumed if the data subject is a client of the controller (Recital 47 Sentence 2 GDPR).

The legitimate interests
pursued by the controller or by a third party
Where the
processing of personal data is based on Article 6(1) lit. f GDPR our legitimate
interest is to carry out our business in favor of the well-being of all our
employees and the shareholders.
Period for which the
personal data will be stored
The criteria used
to determine the period of storage of personal data is the respective statutory
retention period. After expiration of that period, the corresponding data is
routinely deleted, as long as it is no longer necessary for the fulfillment of
the contract or the initiation of a contract.
Provision of personal
data as statutory or contractual requirement; Requirement necessary to enter
into a contract; Obligation of the data subject to provide the personal data; possible
consequences of failure to provide such data
We 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 on the
contractual partner).
Sometimes it may be
necessary to conclude a contract that the data subject provides us with
personal data, which must subsequently be processed by us. The data subject is,
for example, obliged to provide us with personal data when our company signs a
contract with him or her. The non-provision of the personal data would have the
consequence that the contract with the data subject could not be concluded.
Before personal
data is provided by the data subject, the data subject must contact any
employee. The employee clarifies to the data subject whether the provision of
the personal data is required by law or contract or is necessary for the
conclusion of the contract, whether there is an obligation to provide the
personal data and the consequences of non-provision of the personal data.
Existence of automated
decision-making
As a responsible
company, we do not use automatic decision-making or profiling.
