2. What is this about?

This Privacy Policy complies with the legal requirements for transparency in the processing of personal data. This refers to all information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. This includes, for example, information such as your name, age, address, phone number, date of birth, email address, IP address, or user behavior when visiting a website. Information for which we cannot establish a connection to your person (or only with disproportionate effort), e.g., through anonymization, is not considered personal data. The processing of personal data (e.g., collection, retrieval, use, storage, or transmission) always requires a legal basis and a defined purpose.

Stored personal data is deleted as soon as the purpose of the processing has been achieved and there are no legitimate grounds for further retention of the data. We will inform you of the specific retention periods or criteria for storage in the individual processing operations. Regardless of this, we may store your personal data in specific cases to assert, exercise, or defend legal claims and where statutory retention obligations apply.

3. Who receives my data?

We only disclose your personal data, which we process on our website, to third parties if this is necessary to fulfill the purposes and is covered by the legal basis (e.g., consent or protection of legitimate interests) in each individual case. In addition, we may disclose personal data to third parties in specific cases if this serves to assert, exercise, or defend legal claims. Potential recipients may include, for example, law enforcement agencies, attorneys, auditors, courts, etc.

To the extent that we use service providers for the operation of our website who process personal data on our behalf as part of a data processing arrangement in accordance with Article 28 of the GDPR, these recipients may be recipients of your personal data. Further information on the use of data processors and web services can be found in the overview of the individual processing operations.

To view the content of our fan pages or accounts, you do not need to be a member of the respective social network, and no user account for that social network is required.

Please note, however, that when you visit the respective social network, it collects and stores data even from website visitors without a user account (e.g., technical data to display the website to you) and uses cookies and similar technologies, over which we have no control.

21. Meta Pixel / Facebook Pixel

21.1. Nature and Scope of Processing
We use Meta Pixel (formerly Facebook Pixel) from Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland, to create so-called Custom Audiences, i.e., to segment groups of visitors to our online offering, determine conversion rates, and subsequently optimize them. This occurs in particular when you interact with advertisements that we have placed with Meta Platforms Ireland Limited.

21.2. Purpose and Legal Basis
The use of Meta Pixel is based on your consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25(1) TDDDG.

We intend to transfer personal data to third countries outside the European Economic Area, in particular the United States. Data transfers to the U.S. are made pursuant to Article 45(1) of the GDPR based on the European Commission’s adequacy decision. The U.S. companies involved and/or their U.S. subprocessors are certified under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (EU-U.S. DPF).

In cases where no adequacy decision by the European Commission exists (including U.S. companies that are not certified under the EU-U.S. DPF), we have agreed on other appropriate safeguards with the recipients of the data in accordance with Art. 44 et seq. of the GDPR. Unless otherwise specified, these are the EU Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses pursuant to Implementing Decision (EU) 2021/914 of June 4, 2021. You can view a copy of these Standard Contractual Clauses at eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/DE/TXT/HTML/.

The company is certified under the "EU-US Data Privacy Framework" (DPF). The DPF is an agreement between the European Union and the United States designed to ensure compliance with European data protection standards for data processing in the United States. Every company certified under the DPF commits to complying with these data protection standards. You can obtain further information on this from the provider at the following link: www.dataprivacyframework.gov/s/participant-search/participant-detail

In addition, prior to such a transfer to a third country, we obtain your consent pursuant to Art. 49(1)(a) GDPR, which you provide via the Consent Manager (or other forms, registrations, etc.). Please note that third-country transfers may involve unknown risks (e.g., data processing by security authorities in the third country, the exact scope of which and the consequences for you we do not know, over which we have no influence, and of which you may not become aware).

You can also disable the “Custom Audiences” remarketing feature in the ad settings section at www.facebook.com/ads/preferences/. To do this, you must be logged into Facebook. If you do not have a Facebook account, you can disable usage-based advertising from Facebook on the European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance website: www.youronlinechoices.com/de/praferenzmanagement/.

21.3. Retention Period
