However, we restrict processing after three years if the contract is terminated, i.e. your data is only used to comply with legal obligations. Information in the user account will remain until it is deleted.

Content Delivery Network
Our web site uses a so-called Content Delivery Network (CDN). A CDN is a network of powerful servers that cache content at various locations around the world. A CDN has two main tasks: to deliver content in the shortest possible time and to reduce the load on the web host by distributing traffic. CDNs transmit two types of content: Static and dynamic content. Static content is delivered to all website visitors in the same form, such as video content from streaming services or code frameworks (e.g. Javascript, jQuery). Dynamic content is first adapted to the user and only created at the moment of the request. This includes content that takes place via web applications, email or online shops and is personalised. In order to use the latter, information about the website visitor must first be transmitted to the CDN. The legal basis for the use of a CDN and the transmission of your data to it is our legitimate interest. The legitimate interest results from our need for a technically flawless and fast presentation of our web site and the relief of our IT infrastructure. You can object to the processing of your data on the basis of our legitimate interest at any time. To do so, please use the contact details provided.

Note on data transfer to the USA
Among other things, tools from companies based in the USA are integrated on our platform.

We have no influence on these processing activities.

Social media plug-ins
We use social media plug-ins from social networks on our web site. When our website is accessed, no personal data is transmitted to the providers of the plug-ins as a result. Next to the logo or brand of the social network, you will find a slider with which you can activate the plug-in by clicking on it. After activation, the provider of the social network receives the information that you have accessed our website and your personal data is transmitted to the provider of the plug-in and stored there. These are so-called third party cookies. According to some providers such as Facebook, your IP is anonymised immediately after collection. The data collected about the user is stored by the plug-in provider as usage profiles. These are used for the purposes of advertising, market research and/or needs-based design of its website. Such an evaluation is carried out in particular (also for users who are not logged in) for the display of needs-based advertising and to inform other users of the social network about the user’s activities on our website. The user has a right to object to the creation of these user profiles, whereby one must contact the respective plug-in provider to exercise this right. We have no influence on the collected data and data processing operations. We also have no knowledge of the scope of the data collection, the purpose of the processing and the storage periods. We also have no information on the deletion of the collected data by the plug-in provider. We refer to the respective privacy policies of the social networks regarding the purpose and scope of data collection and processing. In addition, you will also find information there about your rights and setting options for the protection of your personal data.
We maintain profiles or fan pages on social media in order to communicate with users connected and registered there and to provide information about our products, offers and services. The US providers are certified under the so-called Privacy Shield and are thus obliged to comply with European data protection. When you use and access our profile in the respective network, the respective privacy policy and terms of use of the respective network apply. We process the data you send us via these networks in order to communicate with you and to reply to your messages there.
