This includes, in particular, the Federal Data Protection Act (Bundesdatenschutzgesetz \u2013 BDSG). The BDSG contains special regulations, particularly regarding the right to information, the right to deletion, the right to object, the processing of special categories of personal data, the processing for other purposes, and the transmission and automated decision-making in individual cases, including profiling. Furthermore, state data protection laws of the individual federal states may apply.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #494949;\"><strong>Note on the applicability of GDPR and Swiss DSG: <\/strong>These data protection notices serve both the information requirements under the Swiss Federal Data Protection Act (Swiss DSG) and the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Therefore, please note that due to the broader territorial application and comprehensibility, the terms of the GDPR are used. In particular, instead of the terms used in the Swiss DSG, such as \"processing\" of \"personal data,\" \"overriding interest,\" and \"particularly sensitive personal data,\" the terms \"processing\" of \"personal data\" and \"legitimate interest\" and \"special categories of data\" as used in the GDPR are applied. However, the legal meaning of the terms will continue to be determined according to the Swiss DSG within its scope of application.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"m27\"><span style=\"color: #494949;\">Security Measures<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"color: #494949;\">We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure a level of protection appropriate to the risk, taking into account the state of the art, implementation costs, and the nature, scope, circumstances, and purposes of the processing, as well as the varying likelihood and severity of the risk to the rights and freedoms of natural persons.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #494949;\">These measures include, in particular, ensuring the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of data by controlling physical and electronic access to the data as well as access, input, transfer, availability, and separation of the data. We have also established procedures to ensure the exercise of data subject rights, the deletion of data, and responses to data breaches. Furthermore, we consider the protection of personal data during the development or selection of hardware, software, and procedures according to the principles of data protection by design and by default.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #494949;\">IP Address Anonymization: If IP addresses are processed by us or by the service providers and technologies we use, and the processing of a full IP address is not necessary, the IP address is shortened (also referred to as \"IP masking\"). In this process, the last two digits or the last part of the IP address after a dot are removed or replaced with placeholders. This anonymization is intended to prevent or significantly hinder the identification of a person through their IP address.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #494949;\">TLS\/SSL Encryption (https): To protect the data of users transmitted via our online services, we use TLS\/SSL encryption. Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) is the standard technology for securing internet connections by encrypting data transmitted between a website or app and a browser (or between two servers). Transport Layer Security (TLS) is an updated and more secure version of SSL. Hyper Text Transfer Protocol Secure (HTTPS) is displayed in the URL when a website is secured by an SSL\/TLS certificate.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"m24\"><span style=\"color: #494949;\">International Data Transfers<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"color: #494949;\">Data Processing in Third Countries: If we process data in a third country (i.e., outside the European Union (EU) or the European Economic Area (EEA)) or if the processing takes place in the context of using third-party services or disclosing or transferring data to other persons, entities, or companies, this will only occur in compliance with the legal requirements. If the level of data protection in the third country is recognized by an adequacy decision (Art. 45 GDPR), this serves as the basis for data transfers. Otherwise, data transfers will only take place if the level of data protection is ensured by other means, particularly through standard contractual clauses (Art. 46(2)(c) GDPR), explicit consent, or in cases of contractual or legally required transfers (Art. 49(1) GDPR). We will inform you of the bases of third-country transfers in the case of the respective service providers from third countries, where adequacy decisions take precedence. Information on third-country transfers and existing adequacy decisions can be found in the EU Commission\u2019s information: <a style=\"color: #494949;\" href=\"https:\/\/ec.europa.eu\/info\/law\/law-topic\/data-protection\/international-dimension-data-protection_de\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/ec.europa.eu\/info\/law\/law-topic\/data-protection\/international-dimension-data-protection_de.<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #494949;\">EU-US Trans-Atlantic Data Privacy Framework: Im Rahmen des sogenannten \u201eData Privacy Framework&#8221; (DPF) hat die EU-Kommission das Datenschutzniveau ebenfalls f\u00fcr bestimmte Unternehmen aus den USA im Rahmen der Angemessenheitsbeschlusses vom 10.07.2023 als sicher anerkannt.

If the data are not deleted because they are required for other legally permissible purposes, their processing will be restricted to these purposes. This means that the data will be blocked and not processed for other purposes. This applies, for example, to data that must be retained for commercial or tax law reasons or whose storage is necessary for the assertion, exercise, or defense of legal claims or to protect the rights of another natural or legal person. As part of our data protection notices, we may provide users with additional information on the deletion and retention of data, which specifically applies to the respective processing operations.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"m10\"><span style=\"color: #494949;\">Rights of the Data Subjects<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"color: #494949;\">As a data subject under the GDPR, you have various rights, particularly those set out in Articles 15 to 21 GDPR:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"color: #494949;\"><strong>Right to Object: You have the right to object, on grounds relating to your particular situation, at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you which is based on Article 6(1)(e) or (f) GDPR; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions.

This identification number does not contain any unique data, such as names or email addresses. It is used to associate analysis information with a device to recognize which content users have accessed within one or multiple usage sessions, which search terms they have used, revisited, or interacted with on our online offering. The time and duration of use, as well as the sources referring users to our online offering and technical aspects of their devices and browsers, are also recorded. Pseudonymous profiles of users are created with information from the use of various devices, using cookies where applicable. Google Analytics does not log or store individual IP addresses for EU users. Analytics, however, provides approximate geographical location data by deriving the following metadata from IP addresses: city (and the derived latitude and longitude of the city), continent, country, region, subcontinent (and ID-based counterparts). For EU traffic, IP address data is used solely for this geolocation derivation before being immediately deleted. They are not logged, are not accessible, and are not used for other purposes. When Google Analytics collects measurement data, all IP queries are conducted on EU-based servers before the traffic is forwarded for processing to Analytics servers. <strong>Service Provider:<\/strong> Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Irland; <span class=\"\"><strong>Legal Basis:<\/strong> Legitimate Interests (Art. 6 Para. 1 Sentence 1 lit. f) GDPR) <\/span><strong>Website:<\/strong> <a style=\"color: #494949;\" href=\"https:\/\/marketingplatform.google.com\/intl\/de\/about\/analytics\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/marketingplatform.google.com\/intl\/de\/about\/analytics\/<\/a>; <strong>Privacy Policy:<\/strong> <a style=\"color: #494949;\" href=\"https:\/\/policies.google.com\/privacy\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/policies.google.com\/privacy<\/a>; <strong>Data Processing Agreement:<\/strong> <a style=\"color: #494949;\" href=\"https:\/\/business.safety.google\/adsprocessorterms\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/business.safety.google\/adsprocessorterms\/<\/a>; <strong>Security Information:<\/strong> <span class=\"\"> EU-US Data Privacy Framework (DPF), <\/span>Standard Contractual Clauses (<a style=\"color: #494949;\" href=\"https:\/\/business.safety.google\/adsprocessorterms\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/business.safety.google\/adsprocessorterms<\/a>); <strong>Opt-Out Option:<\/strong> Opt-Out-Plugin: <a style=\"color: #494949;\" href=\"https:\/\/tools.google.com\/dlpage\/gaoptout?hl=de\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/tools.google.com\/dlpage\/gaoptout?hl=de<\/a>: <a style=\"color: #494949;\" href=\"https:\/\/adssettings.google.com\/authenticated\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/adssettings.google.com\/authenticated<\/a>. <strong>Further Information:<\/strong> <a style=\"color: #494949;\" href=\"https:\/\/business.safety.google\/adsservices\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/business.safety.google\/adsservices\/<\/a> (Arten der Verarbeitung sowie der verarbeiteten Daten).<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #494949;\"><strong>Matomo: <\/strong>Matomo is a software used for web analysis and reach measurement purposes.

The following explanations are primarily intended to aid understanding.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul class=\"glossary\">\n<li class=\"translation-block\"><span style=\"color: #494949\"><strong>Personal Data:<\/strong> \"Personal data\" refers to any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (hereinafter \"data subject\"); 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 (e.g., cookie), or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural, or social identity of that natural person.<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"translation-block\"><span style=\"color: #494949\"><strong>Profiles with User-Related Information:<\/strong> The processing of \"profiles with user-related information,\" or simply \"profiles,\" includes any type of automated processing of personal data where such personal data is used to analyze, evaluate, or predict certain personal aspects relating to a natural person. Depending on the type of profiling, this may include various information concerning demographics, behavior, and interests, such as interaction with websites and their content, etc. For purposes of profiling, cookies and web beacons are often used.<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"translation-block\"><span style=\"color: #494949\"><strong>Reach Measurement:<\/strong> Reach measurement (also known as web analytics) is used to evaluate the visitor flows of an online offering and can include the behavior or interests of visitors in certain information, such as website content. With the help of reach analysis, operators of online offerings can, for example, determine when users visit their websites and what content they are interested in. This allows them to better tailor the content of the websites to the needs of their visitors. For the purposes of reach analysis, pseudonymous cookies and web beacons are often used to recognize returning visitors and thus obtain more precise analyses of the use of an online offering.<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"translation-block\"><span style=\"color: #494949\"><strong>Location Data:<\/strong> Location data is generated when a mobile device (or another device with the technical capabilities for location determination) connects to a cell tower, Wi-Fi, or similar technical means and functions for location determination. Location data indicates the geographically determinable position on Earth where the respective device is located. Location data can be used, for example, to display map functions or other location-dependent information.<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"translation-block\"><span style=\"color: #494949\"><strong>Controller:<\/strong> The \u201ccontroller\u201d is the natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or other body which, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data.<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"translation-block\"><span style=\"color: #494949\"><strong>Processing:<\/strong> \u201cProcessing\u201d means any operation or set of operations which is performed on personal data, whether or not by automated means.
