- Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics, a web analysis service, on our websites for analysis purposes. Google Analytics uses cookies that enable us to analyze the use of our website. The information generated by the cookie about the use of our website is transmitted to a Google server and stored there. Google will use this information on our behalf for the purpose of evaluating your use of the website, compiling reports on website activity, analyzing the effectiveness of our digital advertising and improving its customization, and providing other services relating to website activity and internet usage.
You can find more information on terms of use and data protection at https://policies.google.com/terms https://policies.google.com/privacy
This data processing is carried out on the basis of your consent, which we obtain via our cookie banner that is displayed to you when you first visit the website (legal basis: Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR).
This consent can be revoked at any time with effect for the future. Please click this link to deactivate Google Analytics for our website: [Link]
You can also generally prevent Google from processing your usage data on other websites by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available at the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout
- Google Search Console
We use Google Search Console, a service provided by Google LLC (“Google”), to analyze our websites. This tool enables us to monitor the presence of our website in Google search results and to correct any errors. No personal data is processed through the use of the Google Search Console tool. It is not possible for us to access user data. Instead, Google Search Console offers the opportunity to improve the website without using our own tracking. We only provide information about its use for reasons of transparency.
- Google Maps
We use the “Maps” map plug-in from Google LLC (“Google”) to make it easier to find our location. If you consent to the use of the tool by means of the “two-click solution” implemented on our website, your data will be transferred to servers in the USA to Google. No data will be transferred to Google without your (express) consent.
This data processing is carried out on the basis of your consent (legal basis: Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR).

- Google Ads
Our company uses the services of Google Ads Conversion to advertise our appealing offers on external websites with the help of advertising material (also known as Google Ads). We strive to analyze the performance of individual advertising measures based on campaign data. Our aim is to present you with advertising that arouses your interest, to make our website more attractive for you and to calculate the advertising costs fairly.
Google uses so-called “ad servers” to deliver these advertisements. In this context, we use ad server cookies to record certain parameters for measuring success, for example the display of advertisements or clicks by users. As soon as you access our website via a Google ad, Google Ads places a cookie on your end device. This cookie usually stores the unique cookie ID, the number of ad impressions per placement (frequency), the last impression (relevant for post-view conversions) and opt-out information (to indicate that a user does not want any more ads).
By using these technologies, Google is able to uniquely identify your individual internet browser. If an anonymous visitor visits specific pages of the website of our advertising partners and the technical element stored on their device is still valid, both Google and our advertising partners can understand that a prospective customer has clicked on a specific ad and was subsequently redirected to the linked page. Each of our partners is assigned an individual recognition element. However, these special technical elements cannot be used to track the anonymous visitor’s movements on other websites. Our company does not collect or analyze any personal information in connection with these advertising measures. We only receive general evaluations and statistics from Google. Thanks to these anonymous evaluations, we can find out which of our advertising measures are particularly effective. We do not receive any other data or information that could enable us to identify our visitors in this context.
This data processing is carried out on the basis of your consent (legal basis: Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR). You can revoke this consent at any time with effect for the future. Please click this link to deactivate Google Analytics for our website: [Link]
SOCIAL MEDIA
We use social media offerings. We have created corresponding presences on the social networks Facebook and Instagram (both operated by Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Dublin), hereinafter referred to as “Meta”, which we link to on this page.
Meta’s data protection information can be found at https://privacycenter.instagram.com/policy/?entry_point=ig_help_center_data_policy_redirect.
Social media presences are merely linked by us on the website and are not actively integrated. Data processing only takes place if you access these pages and visit our profiles there.
If you contact us via Meta services, we offer you the option of switching to a more secure communication channel. Depending on your request, this may be e-mail or an even more secure communication channel. Our privacy policy can only supplement, but not replace, the information provided by Meta Ireland Ltd and LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company in connection with the use of these networks.
We would also like to point out that in connection with social media channels, we are also to be regarded as joint controllers with these companies to a very limited extent in accordance with Art. 26 GDPR. This applies in particular to certain insights regarding statistical evaluations of visitors to our pages there. Personal data is not directly accessed. However, this is already sufficient for joint responsibility. For this reason, we conclude corresponding agreements with the providers.
The agreement with Meta can be found at the following link: https://web.facebook.com/legal/controller_addendum?_rdc=1&_rdr
PURPOSE OF PROCESSING
As explained above, as part of our social media presence, we also receive very limited access to statistics that Meta compiles based on visits to the presence. Below we inform you about the analysis options that we receive as a result.
Firstly, the use of this information aims to offer network operators the opportunity to optimize their advertising systems that are distributed via their networks. Secondly, it enables us, as operators of the social media platforms, to compile statistics generated from visits to our social media pages. The aim of this measure is to support the management of our marketing activities. For example, it allows us to gain insights into the trends of visitor profiles that like our social media pages or use the pages’ functions. This enables us to provide more relevant content and develop features that may be of greater interest to them.
In order to gain a better understanding of how we can advance our business goals through our social media pages, demographic and geographic analyses are also created and made available based on the information collected. We can use these findings, for example, to place targeted, interest-based advertisements. However, we do not receive any direct information about the identity of visitors. If visitors use social media services on different end devices, the collection and analysis may also take place across devices and possibly platforms, provided that the visitors are registered and logged into their own profile.
The statistics compiled on visitors are provided to us exclusively in anonymous form and we have no access to the underlying data.
In addition, we use our social media presences to get in touch with our customers, interested parties and users and to provide information about our services. In this context, we may receive additional information, for example through user comments, private messages or by you following us or sharing our content. The processing serves the sole purpose of communicating and interacting with you.
LEGAL BASIS FOR THE OPERATION OF SOCIAL MEDIA PRESENCES
We use our presence on social media to introduce ourselves to users of these platforms and other interested parties who visit our social media pages and to get in touch with them. The processing of users’ personal data is based on our legitimate interests in improving the presentation of our company and our products (Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR).
RESPONSIBILITY WITH META
Through the agreement concluded with Meta with regard to our presence on these platforms, the operators recognize the joint responsibility under data protection law for so-called insight data and assume important obligations under data protection law with regard to informing data subjects, data security and reporting data breaches. In addition, the agreement with Meta stipulates that Meta acts as the primary point of contact for exercising the rights of data subjects (Art. 15 – 22 GDPR). As the provider of the social network, Meta alone has direct access to the required information and can also take the necessary measures and provide information immediately. However, if our support is required, we are available at any time.
TRANSFER OF DATA BY META
Meta processes data throughout the Group, which may also result in data processing in the USA by Meta Platforms, Inc. and its subsidiaries. Since the conclusion of the EU-US Privacy Framework, US companies can voluntarily submit to this program, whereby the data transfer to the USA is to be regarded as a data transfer to a secure third country. Meta Platforms. Inc is certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework.
QUICKBOOKS
We use the accounting software Quickbooks from the American company Intuit, Inc 2700 Coast Ave, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.
The data we enter is also processed in the USA. Intuit is an active participant in the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, which regulates the specific and secure transfer of personal data from EU citizens to the USA. You can find more information at: https://commission.europa.eu/document/fa09cbad-dd7d-4684-ae60-be03fcb0fddf_en
Quickbooks uses standard contractual clauses in accordance with Art 46 GDPR. These are templates provided by the EU Commission to ensure that data processing complies with European data protection standards. The basis of our customer relationship with Intuit under data protection law is order processing in accordance with Section 28 GDPR.
