Generally, neither we nor our service provider know who is behind an IP address, unless you provide us with data when using our web site, enabling us to identify you. Additionally, judicial proceedings initiated against a user may lead to the identification of him or her, for example when the user tried to attack our web site and we find out his or her identity in the course of preliminary proceedings by the judicial authorities.

Google is a member of the PrivacyShield convention and has entered into a commissioned data processing agreement with us as relates to Google Analytics.
Based on our legitimate interests (such as our interest in analyzing and optimizing and efficient running of our online services in the meaning of Article 6 Section 1 letter f of the GDPR) the marketing and remarketing services („Google Marketing Services”) of Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA, („Google“). Google is certified under the Privacy Shield Convention and thus offers a guarantee that European data protection is adhered to. (check
(https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt000000001L5AAI&status=Active). Google Marketing Services allow us to publish advertisements for our web site and on our web site itself to greater effect, to present our users only such advertisements that potentially meet their interests. If, for example, a user is shown advertisements for products he has shown an interest in on other web sites, this is referred to as “Remarketing”. To these ends, Google itself executes a code when users visit our web site and other web sites on which Google Marketing Services are active, and so-called (Re-)Marketing Tags (invisible graphics or a code, also referred to as “web beacons”) are embedded in the web site. With their help, an individual cookie, i. e. a small file, is stored on the users’ device (instead of cookies, other, similar technologies may be used). The cookies can be set by different domains, including google.com, doubleclick.net, invitemedia.com, admeld.com, googlesyndication.com or googleadservices.com. This file will record which web sites the user visits, his interests and the offers he has clicked on, as well as technical information on browser and operating system, referring web sites, time spent on web sites and other data on the use of online offers. Also, the IP address of the user is tracked, however, we let it know in the framework of Google Analytics that the IP addresses of users residing in EU or EEA member states are to be truncated and only in exceptional cases transferred to a Google server in the USA in their entirety to be truncated there. The IP address will not be combined with user data for other Google services. Google can combine the aforementioned information with information from other sources. If the user subsequently visits other web sites, advertisements that relate to his interests can be shown to him or her. In the context of the Google Marketing Services, user data is processed pseudonymously. This means that Google will not save and process the name and the e-mail-address of the user, but will process the relevant data relating to a cookie inside of pseudonymized user profiles. This means that according to Google’s view, the advertisements are not managed on behalf of and shown to a concrete, identified person, but for the owner of the cookie, whoever that cookie owner may be. This is not valid if a user has specifically allowed Google to process these data without pseudonymization. The information collected by Google Marketing Services will be transferred to Google and will be stored on Google servers in the USA. Google Marketing Services include the online advertisements service “Google Ads”, inter alia. In the case of Google Ads, each Ads client will receive a unique “Conversion Cookie”. Thus, cookies cannot be traced by the web sites of Ads clients. The information gathered using the cookies are used to create conversion statistics for Ads clients that have opted for conversion tracking. The Ads clients will learn about the total number of users that have clicked on their advertisement and have been led to a site that included a conversion tracking tag. They will, however, not be given information with which users can be identified personally. We may use the Google Marketing Service “AdSense” to embed advertisements of third parties. AdSense uses cookies that enable Google and its partner web sites to show advertisements based on the visits of users on this web site and/or of other web sites in the internet. Additionally, we may use the “Google Tag Manager” to embed and to manage Google’s analytical and marketing services in our web site.
