              X. Integration and use of Facebook marketing services (Facebook and Custom Audiences)

                1. Due to our legitimate interests within the meaning of Art. 6 Paragraph 1 Letter f. of GDPR, we use the so-called "Facebook Pixel" for our online offering, which is operated by Facebook Inc., 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA, or if you are based in the EU, Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland ("Facebook").

                2. Facebook offers the guarantee that European data protection law is complied with, as demonstrated by certification under the Privacy Shield Agreement ( https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt0000000GnywAAC&status=Active ).

                3. We use the Facebook pixel to display the Facebook ads we place only to those Facebook users who have shown an interest in our online offering, certain products or topics. We also want to use the Facebook pixel to ensure that our ads on Facebook correspond to the potential interests of users and do not appear annoying. The Facebook pixel enables us to determine the effectiveness of our Facebook ads and to create statistics on how many users visit our online offering via an ad.

                4. If one of our websites is accessed, the Facebook pixel is automatically integrated into the page and a cookie can be stored on the user's device. If the user is logged into Facebook during this time or logs in later, the visit to our online offer is also stored in the corresponding Facebook profile. The data collected is anonymized and does not allow us to draw any conclusions about the user's identity. However, Facebook itself stores and processes the data and so the connection to the respective Facebook profile also enables Facebook's own use for advertising or market research purposes. If it is necessary for us to compare the data with Facebook, it is first encrypted within the browser and only then sent by us to Facebook via a secure connection.

                5. The scope and processing of the data are laid down in Facebook's data usage guidelines. Basic information on Facebook advertisements can also be found at: https://www.facebook.com/policy.php . Further information on Facebook Pixel and how it works can be found in the Facebook help section: https://www.facebook.com/business/help/651294705016616 .

                6. It is possible to object to the collection of data by the Facebook pixel and to the use of your data to display Facebook ads. To do this, visit the page set up by Facebook and follow the instructions on the settings for usage-based advertising: https://www.facebook.com/settings?tab=ads . All settings are platform-independent, so the application is used on all end devices (such as mobile or desktop devices). 7. You can see here whether the collection of your data using the Facebook pixel is activated on our website. You can also prevent the collection by clicking on "Deactivate now". When you click the button, an HTML5 storage object is saved on your computer. If the website data is deleted in this browser, the link must be clicked again. Furthermore, the opt-out only applies within the browser you are using and only within our respective web domain on which the link was clicked. 8. An objection to the use of cookies that are used for reach measurement and advertising purposes can be made via the deactivation page of the Network Advertising Initiative ( http://optout.networkadvertising.org/ ), the European website ( http://www.youronlinechoices.com/uk/your-ad-choices/ and additionally the US website ( http://www.aboutads.info/choices ).

                  XI. Changes to this Privacy Policy

                  Due to the dynamic development of the Internet, new technologies and possibilities are constantly being developed. So that we can also allow you to benefit from these possibilities and technologies, we reserve the right to change this data protection declaration in the future when introducing new, additional or changing or expanding existing services or service elements.

                  To the extent that the change to the privacy policy only affects the use of data in general terms and/or the use of data for orders and not the use of data within the framework of a user account, the new privacy policy applies from the date of its update on the website.

                  A change to the privacy policy that relates to the use of data already collected and stored in your user account will only be made if this is reasonable for you. If and to the extent that changes to the privacy policy relate to the use of data already collected and stored in your user account, we will notify you in good time by email, on our websites, in our apps or in another form. You have the right to object to the validity of the new privacy policy within six weeks of receiving the notification. In the event of an objection, we reserve the right to terminate the contract and delete your user account. If no objection is made within the specified period, the amended privacy policy is deemed to have been accepted by you. In the notification, we will inform you of your right of objection and the importance of the objection period.
