Personal information is any information that contains details about personal or factual circumstances and relates to an identified or identifiable individual (the "individual concerned", for example, name, address, email address, telephone number, date of birth, age, gender, video, photographs, voice recordings of individuals). Sensitive data such as health data, data related to criminal proceedings or biometric data such as fingerprints may also be included.

Processing means any operation or set of operations carried out with or without the aid of automated processes relating to personal data, such as collection, recording, organisation, sorting, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, comparison or association, limitation, erasure or destruction.

In all other cases, i.e. if your inquiry does not lead to an assignment of our office, the personal data collected will be stored by us for one year from the completion of your inquiry, as we have a justified interest in being able to trace inquiries made within this period.

We use session cookies on our website, which are created each time you visit our website. Session cookies contain a randomly generated, unique identifier assigned to your device. When you close your browser, the cookie expires without further action.
We use session cookies to support the functionality of our website and to learn more about how visitors use our website (e.g. which pages are visited). Session cookies do not collect any personal data.
8.3. Web-Analyse- and Tracking-Tools
8.3.1. Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google LLC (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043 USA, hereinafter referred to as "Google"), for the purpose of tailoring our website to meet your needs and continually optimising it.
Google Analytics generates information about the use of our website, namely when you visit our website, type and version of browser used, operating system used, from which website the user came, which subpages of the website are accessed, how often and for how long, the IP address of the person concerned (the IP address is only collected in abbreviated form by the extension "_anonymizeIp() so that there is no direct personal reference) In this context, pseudonymised user profiles are created and cookies are used.
The data is collected by Google LLC, our contract data processor, and transmitted to a Google server in the USA where it is stored. Google is certified under the Privacy Shield Agreement and thus guarantees compliance with European data protection law.
This information is used to evaluate the use of the website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide other services related to website and Internet use for market research purposes and to tailor this website to meet customer needs. Google may transfer this information to third parties where required to do so by law or where such processing is required on Google's behalf.
If you wish to completely prevent the collection of data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website as well as the processing of this data by Google, you can download and install a browser add-on that completely deactivates Google Analytics for the future. You can find the add-on at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de.
Instead of the browser add-on, you can also prevent Google Analytics from collecting data by setting an opt-out cookie. You can find this cookie under https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de. Please note that this will set an opt-out cookie that applies only to the browser used and only to our website. If you delete all cookies in this browser, you must set the opt-out cookie again.
Further information on data protection in connection with Google Analytics can be found at https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245?hl=de.
8.3.2. Google AdWords
We use "Google AdWords" from Google LLC for online marketing purposes (for more details about Google LLC, please see the above section of this Privacy Policy) and place ads on the Google Advertising Network.
These ads are displayed to users who, for example, are interested in ads based on their search query. This enables companies and us to display advertisements only to those users who have a potential interest in our offering.
When a user clicks on an ad placed by us on the Google Advertising Network, a cookie is placed on the user's device. This cookie loses its validity after 30 days. A personal identification of the user is not possible for us by the set cookie.
Each Adwords customer receives a different cookie. Cookies cannot therefore be traced via the websites of different Adwords customers. The information collected using the conversion cookie is used to generate conversion statistics for Adwords customers who have opted for conversion tracking. Adwords customers will know the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were directed to a page tagged with a conversion tracking tag. However, you will not receive any information that personally identifies users.
If you do not wish to participate in the tracking process, you can also refuse to set a cookie as required, for example by setting your browser to disable the automatic setting of cookies. You can also deactivate cookies for conversion tracking by setting your browser so that cookies do not leave the domain. www.googleadservices.comcan be blocked.

This data can be used to create pseudonymised user profiles, for which we use 1st party cookies. The cookies enable the recognition of the internet browser and an analysis of the user behaviour during the visit of the user on our website (visited pages incl. duration of stay etc.).
