1. on the basis of our legitimate interests within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f. DSGVO, we use the so-called "Facebook pixel" for our online offer, which is operated by Facebook Inc., 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA or, if you are resident in the EU, Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland ("Facebook").

Facebook provides a guarantee of compliance with European data protection law as evidenced by certification under the Privacy Shield Agreement (https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt0....

The Facebook pixel is used by us to display Facebook advertisements placed by us only to Facebook users who have shown an interest in our online offering, specific products or topics. We also want to use Facebook pixels to ensure that our Facebook ads match the potential interest of users and are not annoying. Facebook pixels enable us to determine the effectiveness of our Facebook ads and compile statistics about how many users visit our online offering through an ad.

If one of our websites is visited, 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 in to Facebook during this time or logs in later, the visit to our online service is also stored in the corresponding Facebook profile. The collected data is anonymous and does not allow us to draw any conclusions about the user identity. Facebook itself, however, stores and processes the data and thus, through the connection to the respective Facebook profile, Facebook's own use for advertising or market research purposes is also possible. Should it be necessary for us to compare the data with Facebook, these are 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 is laid down in Facebook's data usage guidelines. Basic information about Facebook advertisements can also be found at: https://www.facebook.com/policy.php. Further information about Facebook Pixel and how it works can be found in the Facebook help section: https://www.facebook.com/business/help/65129470501...

6. you may 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 they can be used on all end devices (such as mobile or desktop devices).

You can see here whether the collection of your data using the Facebook pixel on our website is activated. In addition, you can prevent the collection by clicking on "Deactivate now". If you click the button, an HTML5 storage object will be stored 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 for range 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-choice... and additionally the US website (http://www.aboutads.info/choices).

Due to the dynamic development of the Internet, new technologies and possibilities are constantly being developed. In order to enable you to benefit from these possibilities and technologies, we reserve the right to change this privacy policy for the future if new, additional or existing services or service elements are introduced or modified.

Insofar as the change to the Privacy Policy only affects data use in general and/or data use for orders and not data use within the framework of a user account, the new Privacy Policy shall apply from the date on which it is updated on the website.

A change to the Privacy Policy relating to the use of data already collected and stored in your User Account will only be made if it is reasonable for you to accept it. 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 a timely manner by e-mail, on our websites, in our apps or in any other form. You have the right to object to the validity of the new data protection declaration within six weeks of receipt of the notification. In the event of objection, we reserve the right to terminate the contract and delete your user account. If no objection is made within the period stated, the amended data protection declaration shall be deemed to have been accepted by you. We will inform you of your right to object and the significance of the objection period in the notification.
