Security and Protection of Your Personal Data
We consider it our primary task to maintain the confidentiality of the personal data you provide and to protect it from unauthorized access. Therefore, we apply utmost care and state-of-the-art security standards to ensure maximum protection of your personal data.

"Restriction of processing" means the marking of stored personal data with the aim of limiting their processing in the future.
4.Profiling
"Profiling" is any form of automated processing of personal data consisting of the use of personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to analyze or predict aspects concerning work performance, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behavior, location, or movements of that natural person.
5.Pseudonymization

For processing personal data necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, Article 6(1)(b) GDPR serves as the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations necessary for the performance of pre-contractual measures.
Where processing of personal data is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Article 6(1)(c) GDPR serves as the legal basis.
In the event that vital interests of the data subject or another natural person require the processing of personal data, Article 6(1)(d) GDPR serves as the legal basis.
If processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by our company or by a third party, and such interests are not overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject, Article 6(1)(f) GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing.

This means that when you visit our site, no personal data is initially transmitted to the providers of the plugins. You can recognize the provider of the plugin by the marking on the box with its initial letter or logo. We give you the opportunity to communicate directly with the provider of the plugin via the button. Only if you click on the marked field and activate it, the plugin provider will receive the information that you have accessed the corresponding website of our online offer. In the case of Facebook, according to the respective providers in Germany, the IP address is immediately anonymized after collection. By activating the plugin, personal data about you is therefore transmitted to the respective plugin provider and stored there (for US providers in the USA).

Such an evaluation is carried out in particular (even for users who are not logged in) to provide customized advertising and to inform other users of the social network about your activities on our website. You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles, whereby you must contact the respective plugin provider to exercise this right. Through the plugins, we offer you the opportunity to interact with social networks and other users, so that we can improve our offer and make it more interesting for you as a user. The legal basis for the use of the plugins is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR.
(4) The data is transferred regardless of whether you have an account with the plugin provider and are logged in there. If you are logged in to the plugin provider, your data collected by us will be directly assigned to your existing account with the plugin provider. If you activate the button and, for example, link the page, the plugin provider also stores this information in your user account and shares it with your contacts publicly. We recommend that you log out regularly after using a social network, but especially before activating the button, as this way you can avoid being assigned to your profile with the plugin provider.
