Sec­tion 3: Coll­ec­tion of per­so­nal data when visi­ting our website

(1) When visi­ting our web­site for the sole pur­po­se of obtai­ning infor­ma­ti­on, mea­ning wit­hout you regis­tering or other­wi­se trans­mit­ting infor­ma­ti­on, we will only coll­ect the per­so­nal data that is trans­mit­ted to our ser­ver by your brow­ser. If you would like to view our web­site, we will coll­ect the fol­lo­wing data that is tech­ni­cal­ly neces­sa­ry for us to dis­play our web­site to you and to ensu­re the sta­bi­li­ty and secu­ri­ty (the legal basis is Artic­le 6 para. 1 sen­tence 1 lit. f GDPR):

– IP address

– Date and time of the request

– Time zone dif­fe­rence to Green­wich Mean Time (GMT)

– Con­tent of the request (spe­ci­fic page)

– Sta­tus of the access/HTTP sta­tus code

– The respec­tively trans­mit­ted data volume

– The refer­rer website

– Brow­ser

– Ope­ra­ting sys­tem and its user interface

(2) In addi­ti­on to the data spe­ci­fied abo­ve, the use of our web­site ent­ails the sto­rage of coo­kies on your com­pu­ter. Coo­kies are small text files stored on your hard dri­ve and allo­ca­ted to the brow­ser used by you. A coo­kie allows the per­son pla­cing it (us in this case) to acqui­re cer­tain infor­ma­ti­on. Coo­kies can­not be used to launch pro­grams or to infect your com­pu­ter with viru­s­es. They ser­ve the pur­po­se of impro­ving the over­all user-fri­end­li­ne­ss and effec­ti­ve­ness of our Inter­net service.

(3) Use of cookies:

1. 1. a) The scope and func­tion­a­li­ty of the types of coo­kies used by this web­site are explai­ned in the following:

– Tran­si­ent coo­kies (see b)

– Per­sis­tent coo­kies (see c).

b) Tran­si­ent coo­kies are auto­ma­ti­cal­ly dele­ted when you clo­se your brow­ser. The most com­mon­ly used tran­si­ent coo­kies are so-cal­led ses­si­on coo­kies. The­se coo­kies store a so-cal­led ses­si­on ID, which can be used to allo­ca­te the dif­fe­rent requests made by your brow­ser to a sin­gle ses­si­on. This allows for the reco­gni­ti­on of your com­pu­ter when you return to our web­site. Ses­si­on coo­kies are dele­ted when you log off or when you clo­se your browser.

c) Per­sis­tent coo­kies are auto­ma­ti­cal­ly dele­ted after a spe­ci­fic peri­od, which may vary from coo­kie to coo­kie. You can dele­te the coo­kies at any time by chan­ging the secu­ri­ty set­tings of your browser.

d) You can con­fi­gu­re your brow­ser set­tings to your pre­fe­ren­ces and, for exam­p­le, set it to pre­vent all or only third-par­ty coo­kies from being pla­ced on your com­pu­ter. Plea­se note that you may in this case not be able to use the full ran­ge of func­tions offe­red on this website.

e) If you have an account with us, we will use coo­kies to iden­ti­fy you on sub­se­quent visits to our web­site. If you have coo­kies are deac­ti­va­ted, you will have to log­in each time you visit our website.

f) Infor­ma­ti­on coll­ec­ted by Flash-coo­kies is not stored in your Flash plug-in rather than in your brow­ser. We also use HTML5 sto­rage objects, which are pla­ced on your device. The­se objects store the neces­sa­ry data irre­spec­ti­ve of the type of brow­ser used by you and do not expi­re auto­ma­ti­cal­ly. If you would like to pre­vent Flash coo­kies from coll­ec­ting data, you will have to install one of the available add-ons, such as „Bet­ter Pri­va­cy“ for Mozil­la Fire­fox (https://addons.mozilla.org/de/firefox/addon/betterprivacy/) or the Ado­be-Flash-Kil­ler coo­kie for Goog­le Chro­me. You can pre­vent the use of HTML5 sto­rage objects by swit­ching your brow­ser to the “brow­se in pri­va­te” mode. We also recom­mend that you regu­lar­ly dele­te the coo­kies on your com­pu­ter and your brow­ser histo­ry manually.

Sec­tion 4: Addi­tio­nal func­tions and ser­vices of our website

(1) In addi­ti­on to using our web­site for the sole pur­po­se of obtai­ning infor­ma­ti­on, we offer a num­ber of ser­vices you can use if you are inte­res­ted in them. This will usual­ly requi­re you to dis­c­lo­se addi­tio­nal per­so­nal data, which will used to pro­vi­de the respec­ti­ve ser­vice and which is gover­ned by the data pro­ces­sing prin­ci­ples set out above.

(2) We will in some cases invol­ve exter­nal ser­vice pro­vi­ders in the pro­ces­sing of your data. The­se ser­vice pro­vi­ders have been careful­ly sel­ec­ted and ins­truc­ted by us, they are bound by our ins­truc­tions and are audi­ted regularly.

(3) We may also dis­c­lo­se your per­so­nal data to third par­ties in the con­text of par­ti­ci­pa­ti­on at spe­cial events, sweepsta­kes, pro­po­sed con­tracts or simi­lar ser­vices offe­red by us in coope­ra­ti­on with part­ners. You will in the­se cases be pro­vi­ded with fur­ther infor­ma­ti­on when sub­mit­ting your per­so­nal data, or in the foo­ter of the descrip­ti­on of the service.

Sec­tion 5: Objec­tion against the pro­ces­sing of data, revo­ca­ti­on of consent

(1) You may revo­ke any pre­vious­ly gran­ted decla­ra­ti­on of con­sent to the pro­ces­sing of your data at any time. A revo­ca­ti­on will affect the per­mis­si­bi­li­ty of the pro­ces­sing of your per­so­nal data with effect on the future.

(2) You may object against the pro­ces­sing of your data in as far as we are basing the data pro­ces­sing on a balan­cing of inte­rests. This is the case if the data pro­ces­sing is not requi­red to per­form a con­tract with you, which we will dis­c­lo­se in each case in the descrip­ti­on of the func­tions out­lined below. If you deci­de to object against the pro­ces­sing of your data, we would app­re­cia­te you informing us about the reasons why you would pre­fer us not to pro­cess your data. If your objec­tion is legi­ti­ma­te, we will inves­ti­ga­te the cir­cum­s­tances and eit­her dis­con­ti­nue or adjust the data pro­ces­sing, or alter­na­tively inform you of our com­pel­ling legi­ti­ma­te inte­rests in the con­ti­nua­tion of the data processing.

(3) You may at any time object against the pro­ces­sing of your per­so­nal data for adver­ti­sing and data ana­ly­sis ser­vices. Plea­se sub­mit your objec­tion against the use of your data for adver­ti­sing pur­po­ses by email to datenschutz@klevers.de.
