PRIVACY POLICY

We are very pleased about your interest in our company. Data protection has a particularly high priority for City Parkhaus GmbH & Co. KG. The use of the internet pages of City Parkhaus GmbH & Co. KG is basically possible without any indication of personal data. However, if a data subject wishes to use special services of our company via our website, processing of personal data could become necessary. If the processing of personal data is necessary and there is no legal basis for such processing, we generally obtain the consent of the data subject.

The processing of personal data, such as the name, address, e-mail address, or telephone number of a data subject, always takes place in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation and in compliance with the country-specific data protection regulations applicable to City Parkhaus GmbH & Co. KG. With this privacy policy, our company would like to inform the public about the nature, scope, and purpose of the personal data we collect, use, and process. In addition, data subjects are informed about their rights through this privacy policy.

City Parkhaus GmbH & Co. KG, as the controller responsible for processing, has implemented numerous technical and organizational measures to ensure the most complete protection possible for personal data processed through this website. However, internet-based data transmissions can generally have security gaps, so that absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, every data subject is free to also transmit personal data to us via alternative means, such as by phone.

The data protection declaration of City Parkhaus GmbH & Co. KG is based on the terms used by the European directive and regulatory authority in the enactment of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Our data protection declaration should be legible and understandable for the general public, as well as our customers and business partners. To ensure this, we would like to explain the terms used in advance.

In this data protection declaration, we use, among other things, the following terms:

a) Personal data
Personal data means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (hereinafter referred to as “data subject”). An identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier, or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural, or social identity of that natural person.

b) Data subject
Data subject is any identified or identifiable natural person whose personal data is processed by the controller.

c) Processing
Processing is any operation or set of operations which is performed on personal data, whether or not by automated means, such as collection, recording, organization, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure or destruction.

d) Restriction of processing
Restriction of processing is the marking of stored personal data with the aim of limiting their processing in the future.

e) Profiling
Profiling means 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 that natural person’s performance at work, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behavior, location or movements.

f) Pseudonymisation
Pseudonymisation is the processing of personal data in such a way that the personal data can no longer be attributed to a specific data subject without the use of additional information, provided that such additional information is kept separately and is subject to technical and organisational measures to ensure that the personal data is not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.

g) Controller
Controller means the natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data. Where the purposes and means of such processing are determined by Union or Member State law, the controller or the specific criteria for its nomination may be provided for by Union or Member State law.

h) Processor
Processor means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which processes personal data on behalf of the controller.

i) Recipient
Recipient means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or another body, to which the personal data are disclosed, whether a third party or not. However, authorities which may receive personal data in the framework of a particular inquiry in accordance with Union or Member State law shall not be regarded as recipients.

j) Third party
A third party is a natural or legal person, authority, institution, or other entity other than the data subject, the controller, the processor, and the persons who, under the direct authority of the controller or the processor, are authorized to process personal data.

k) Consent
Consent is any freely given, specific, informed, and unambiguous indication of the data subject’s wishes by which he or she, by a statement or by a clear affirmative action, signifies agreement to the processing of personal data relating to him or her.

The controller within the meaning of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), other data protection laws applicable in Member states of the European Union, and other provisions related to data protection is:

City Parkhaus GmbH & Co. KG

The websites of City Parkhaus GmbH & Co. KG use cookies. Cookies are text files that are stored and saved on a computer system via an internet browser.

Many websites and servers use cookies. Many cookies contain a so-called cookie ID. A cookie ID is a unique identifier of the cookie. It consists of a character string through which websites and servers can be assigned to the specific internet browser in which the cookie was stored. This allows visited websites and servers to differentiate the individual browser of the affected person from other internet browsers that contain other cookies. A particular internet browser can be recognized and identified via the unique cookie ID.

By using cookies, City Parkhaus GmbH & Co. KG can provide users of this website with more user-friendly services that would not be possible without the cookie setting.

By means of a cookie, the information and offers on our website can be optimized for the benefit of the user. As mentioned before, cookies enable us to recognize users of our website. The purpose of this recognition is to make it easier for users to use our website. For example, a user of a website that uses cookies does not have to enter his or her access data again each time they visit the website, because this is taken over by the website and the cookie stored on the user’s computer system. Another example is the cookie of a shopping cart in an online shop. The online shop remembers the items a customer has placed in the virtual shopping cart via a cookie.

The data subject can prevent the setting of cookies by our website at any time by means of a corresponding setting of the Internet browser used and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Furthermore, cookies that have already been set can be deleted at any time via an Internet browser or other software programs. This is possible in all common Internet browsers. If the data subject deactivates the setting of cookies in the Internet browser used, not all functions of our website may be fully usable.

With every access of the Internet site of City Parkhaus GmbH & Co. KG by a data subject or an automated system, a set of general data and information is recorded. This general data and information is stored in the log files of the server. The following data can be recorded: (1) the browser types and versions used, (2) the operating system used by the accessing system, (3) the website from which an accessing system accesses our website (so-called referrers), (4) the sub-websites that are accessed via an accessing system on our website, (5) the date and time of access to the website, (6) an internet protocol address (IP address), (7) the internet service provider of the accessing system, and (8) other similar data and information that serve to avert danger in the event of attacks on our information technology systems.

When using this general data and information, City Parkhaus GmbH & Co. KG does not draw any conclusions about the affected person. Rather, this information is needed to (1) correctly deliver the contents of our website, (2) optimize the contents of our website as well as its advertising, (3) ensure the permanent functionality of our information technology systems and the technology of our website, and (4) provide law enforcement agencies with the necessary information for prosecution in the event of a cyber attack. These anonymously collected data and information are therefore statistically evaluated by City Parkhaus GmbH & Co. KG on the one hand, and on the other hand, with the aim of increasing data protection and data security in our company, ultimately to ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data processed by us. The anonymous data of the server log files are stored separately from all personal data provided by an affected person.

The website of City Parkhaus GmbH & Co. KG contains information, which due to legal regulations, enables a quick electronic contact to our company as well as direct communication with us, including a general address of so-called electronic mail (e-mail address).

If an affected person contacts the data controller by e-mail or via a contact form, the personal data transmitted by the affected person is automatically stored.

Such personal data voluntarily provided by an affected person to the data controller is stored for the purpose of processing or contacting the affected person. There is no disclosure of this personal data to third parties.

The data controller processes and stores personal data of the affected person only for the period necessary to achieve the storage purpose or as provided by the European directives and regulations legislator or another legislator in laws or regulations to which the data controller is subject to.

Once the storage purpose no longer applies or a storage period prescribed by the European directives and regulations legislator or another competent legislator expires, the personal data is routinely blocked or erased in accordance with the legal requirements.

a) Right to confirmation
Every data subject has the right granted by the European legislator to obtain from the controller confirmation as to whether or not personal data concerning them are being processed. If a data subject wishes to exercise this confirmation right, they may at any time contact our data protection officer or another employee of the controller.

b) Right to information
Every data subject whose personal data is processed has the right granted by the European legislator to obtain from the controller free information about the personal data stored about them and to receive a copy of this information. Furthermore, the European legislator has granted the data subject the right to obtain information about the following:

the purposes of the processing
the categories of personal data that are processed
the recipients or categories of recipients to whom the personal data have been or will be disclosed, in particular recipients in third countries or international organizations
if possible, the planned duration for which the personal data will be stored, or, if this is not possible, the criteria for determining this duration
the existence of a right to rectification or erasure of personal data concerning them, or to restriction of processing by the controller, or to object to such processing
the existence of a right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority
if the personal data are not collected from the data subject: All available information about the origin of the data
the existence of automated decision-making, including profiling, pursuant to Article 22(1) and (4) of the GDPR and, at least in those cases, meaningful information about the logic involved, as well as the significance and the envisaged consequences of such processing for the data subject
Furthermore, the data subject has the right to be informed whether personal data have been transferred to a third country or to an international organization. If this is the case, the data subject also has the right to be informed of the appropriate safeguards relating to the transfer.

If an affected person wishes to exercise this right to information, they can contact our data protection officer or another employee responsible for processing at any time.

c) Right to rectification
Every person affected by the processing of personal data has the right, granted by the European Directive and Regulation Maker, to request the immediate correction of any inaccurate personal data concerning them. Furthermore, taking into account the purposes of the processing, the data subject has the right to request the completion of incomplete personal data, including by means of a supplementary statement.

If an affected person wishes to exercise this right to rectification, they can contact our data protection officer or another employee responsible for processing at any time.

d) Right to erasure (Right to be forgotten)
Every person affected by the processing of personal data has the right, granted by the European Directive and Regulation Maker, to demand from the controller the immediate erasure of personal data concerning them, if one of the following reasons applies and the processing is not necessary:

The personal data have been collected or otherwise processed for purposes for which they are no longer necessary.
The data subject withdraws consent on which the processing according to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR or Art. 9(2)(a) GDPR was based, and there is no other legal ground for the processing.
The data subject objects to the processing pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR, and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing, or the data subject objects to the processing pursuant to Art. 21(2) GDPR.
The personal data have been unlawfully processed.
The erasure of personal data is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation under Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject.
The personal data have been collected in relation to the offer of information society services referred to in Art. 8(1) GDPR.
If one of the aforementioned reasons applies and a data subject wants to request the erasure of personal data stored by City Parkhaus GmbH & Co. KG, they may at any time contact our Data Protection Officer or another employee of the controller. The Data Protection Officer of City Parkhaus GmbH & Co. KG or another employee will ensure that the erasure request is complied with without delay.

If the personal data have been made public by City Parkhaus GmbH & Co. KG and our company, as the controller, is obliged to erase the personal data pursuant to Art. 17(1) GDPR, City Parkhaus GmbH & Co. KG, taking into account available technology and implementation costs, will take reasonable steps, including technical measures, to inform other controllers processing the published personal data that the data subject has requested erasure by such controllers of any links to, or copy or replication of, those personal data, unless the processing is necessary. The Data Protection Officer of City Parkhaus GmbH & Co. KG or another employee will take necessary measures in individual cases.

e) Right to Restriction of Processing
Any person affected by the processing of personal data has the right, granted by the European directive and regulatory authority, to request from the controller the restriction of processing where one of the following applies:

The accuracy of the personal data is contested by the data subject, for a period enabling the controller to verify the accuracy of the personal data.
The processing is unlawful and the data subject opposes the erasure of the personal data and requests instead the restriction of their use.
The controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of processing, but they are required by the data subject for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.
The data subject has objected to processing pursuant to Article 21(1) of the GDPR pending the verification whether the legitimate grounds of the controller override those of the data subject.
If one of the aforementioned conditions is met, and a data subject wishes to request the restriction of personal data stored by City Parkhaus GmbH & Co. KG, they may at any time contact our data protection officer or another employee of the controller. The data protection officer of City Parkhaus GmbH & Co. KG or another employee will arrange the restriction of the processing.

f) Right to Data Portability
Any person affected by the processing of personal data has the right, granted by the European directive and regulatory authority, to receive the personal data concerning them, which they have provided to a controller, in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format. They also have the right to transmit those data to another controller without hindrance from the controller to which the personal data have been provided, where the processing is based on consent pursuant to Article 6(1)(a) GDPR or Article 9(2)(a) GDPR or on a contract pursuant to Article 6(1)(b) GDPR, and the processing is carried out by automated means, as long as the processing is not necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller.

Furthermore, in exercising their right to data portability pursuant to Article 20(1) GDPR, the data subject has the right to have the personal data transmitted directly from one controller to another, where technically feasible and provided that this does not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others.

In order to exercise the right to data portability, the data subject may at any time contact the data protection officer appointed by City Parkhaus GmbH & Co. KG or another employee.

g) Right to object
Any data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right, granted by the European directive and regulatory authority, to object at any time, on grounds relating to their particular situation, to the processing of personal data concerning them, which is based on Article 6(1)(e) or (f) of the GDPR. This also applies to profiling based on these provisions.

If the data subject objects, City Parkhaus GmbH & Co. KG will no longer process the personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override the interests, rights and freedoms of the data subject or for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims.

If City Parkhaus GmbH & Co. KG processes personal data for the purpose of direct marketing, the data subject has the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning them for such marketing, including profiling related to such direct marketing. If the data subject objects to processing for direct marketing purposes, City Parkhaus GmbH & Co. KG will no longer process the personal data for such purposes.

Furthermore, the data subject has the right to object, on grounds relating to their particular situation, to the processing of personal data concerning them which is carried out by City Parkhaus GmbH & Co. KG for scientific or historical research purposes or statistical purposes pursuant to Article 89(1) of the GDPR, unless the processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest.

To exercise the right to object, the data subject may directly contact the data protection officer of City Parkhaus GmbH & Co. KG or another employee. The data subject is also free to exercise their right to object in relation to the use of information society services, notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC, by means of automated procedures using technical specifications.

h) Automated individual decision-making, including profiling
Every data subject shall have the right granted by the European legislator not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects concerning him or her or similarly significantly affects him or her, as long as the decision (1) is not necessary for entering into, or the performance of, a contract between the data subject and a data controller, or (2) is not authorised by Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject and which also lays down suitable measures to safeguard the data subject’s rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, or (3) is not based on the data subject’s explicit consent.

If the decision (1) is necessary for entering into, or the performance of, a contract between the data subject and the data controller, or (2) is based on the data subject’s explicit consent, the City Parkhaus GmbH & Co. KG shall implement suitable measures to safeguard the data subject’s rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, which shall include at least the right to obtain human intervention on the part of the controller, to express his or her point of view and to contest the decision.

If the data subject wishes to exercise rights relating to automated decision-making, they may contact our data protection officer or another employee of the controller at any time.

i) Right to withdraw consent
Any data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator to withdraw consent to the processing of personal data at any time.

If the data subject wishes to exercise their right to withdraw consent, they may contact our data protection officer or another employee of the controller at any time.

The controller collects and processes personal data from applicants for the purpose of handling the job application process.

The processing may also be done electronically. This is particularly the case if an applicant submits corresponding application documents to the controller electronically, for example by email or via a web form located on the website.

If the controller enters into an employment contract with an applicant, the data transmitted will be stored for the purpose of processing the employment relationship in compliance with legal requirements.

If the controller does not enter into an employment contract with the applicant, the application documents will be automatically deleted two months after the rejection decision has been communicated, unless deletion conflicts with other legitimate interests of the controller.

Other legitimate interests in this sense may include the obligation to provide evidence in a proceeding under the General Equal Treatment Act (AGG).

The controller has integrated components of the company Facebook on this website. Facebook is a social network.

A social network is an online social meeting place operated on the Internet that generally allows users to communicate with each other and interact in a virtual space. A social network can serve as a platform for the exchange of opinions and experiences, or it allows the internet community to provide personal or company-related information. Among other things, Facebook allows users of the social network to create private profiles, upload photos, and network through friend requests.

The operating company of Facebook is Facebook, Inc., 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA. The controller responsible for the processing of personal data is Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland, if a data subject lives outside the USA or Canada.

By accessing any of the individual pages of this website, which is operated by the data controller and on which a Facebook component (Facebook plug-in) has been integrated, the internet browser on the information technology system of the affected person is automatically prompted by the respective Facebook component to download a representation of the corresponding Facebook component from Facebook. An overview of all Facebook plug-ins can be accessed at DEVELOPERS.FACEBOOK.COM/DOCS/PLUGINS/. As part of this technical process, Facebook is informed of which specific subpage of our website is visited by the affected person.

Provided that the data subject is logged in to Facebook at the same time, Facebook recognizes with every call to our website by the data subject and during the entire duration of their stay on our website which specific subpage of our website the data subject visits. This information is collected by the Facebook component and assigned by Facebook to the respective Facebook account of the data subject. If the data subject clicks one of the Facebook buttons integrated on our website, such as the “Like” button, or if the data subject submits a comment, Facebook assigns this information to the personal Facebook user account of the data subject and stores this personal data.

Whenever the data subject is logged in to Facebook at the time of accessing our website, Facebook receives information through the Facebook component that the data subject has visited our website, regardless of whether the data subject clicks on the Facebook component or not. If the data subject does not want such information to be transmitted to Facebook, they can prevent this by logging out of their Facebook account before accessing our website.

The data policy published by Facebook, which is available at DE-DE.FACEBOOK.COM/ABOUT/PRIVACY/, provides information on the collection, processing, and use of personal data by Facebook. Furthermore, it explains the privacy settings that Facebook offers to protect the data subject’s privacy. Additionally, various applications are available that allow the data subject to suppress data transmission to Facebook. Such applications can be used by the data subject to suppress data transmission to Facebook.

The controller has integrated the Google Analytics component (with anonymization function) into this website. Google Analytics is a web analytics service that collects, compiles, and analyzes data about the behavior of visitors to websites. Among other things, a web analytics service collects data about the website from which a data subject has come to a website (so-called referrer), which subpages of the website were accessed or how often and for what duration a subpage was viewed. Web analytics is primarily used to optimize a website and to analyze the cost-benefit of internet advertising.

The operator of the Google Analytics component is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA.

The controller uses the “_gat._anonymizeIp” add-on for web analytics through Google Analytics. With this add-on, the IP address of the internet connection of the data subject is truncated and anonymized by Google when accessing our website from a member state of the European Union or from another contracting state to the Agreement on the European Economic Area.

The purpose of the Google Analytics component is to analyze visitor traffic on our website. Google uses the data and information obtained, among other things, to evaluate the use of our website in order to compile online reports for us, which show the activities on our websites, and to provide further services related to the use of our website.

Google Analytics sets a cookie on the information technology system of the person concerned. What cookies are has already been explained above. By setting the cookie, Google is enabled to analyze the use of our website. With each call-up to one of the individual pages of this website, which is operated by the controller and on which a Google Analytics component was integrated, the Internet browser on the information technology system of the person concerned is automatically prompted to transmit data for the purpose of online analysis to Google. As part of this technical process, Google obtains knowledge of personal data, such as the IP address of the person concerned, which serves, among other things, to trace the origin of visitors and clicks and subsequently to enable commission settlements.

Personal information, such as the access time, the location from which access was made, and the frequency of visits to our website by the person concerned, is stored by means of the cookie. Each time our website is visited, this personal data, including the IP address of the internet connection used by the person concerned, is transferred to Google in the United States of America. This personal data is stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may disclose this personal data collected through the technical process to third parties.

The person concerned can prevent the setting of cookies through our website at any time, as already shown above, by means of a corresponding setting of the internet browser used and can therefore permanently object to the setting of cookies. Such a setting of the internet browser used would also prevent Google from setting a cookie on the information technology system of the person concerned. In addition, a cookie already set by Google Analytics can be deleted at any time via the internet browser or other software programs.

Furthermore, the data subject has the possibility to object to the collection of data generated by Google Analytics related to the use of this website and the processing of this data by Google and to prevent such processing. To do so, the data subject must download and install a browser add-on from the link TOOLS.GOOGLE.COM/DLPAGE/GAOPTOUT. This browser add-on informs Google Analytics via JavaScript that no data or information regarding website visits may be transmitted to Google Analytics. The installation of the browser add-on is considered as an objection by Google. If the information technology system of the data subject is deleted, formatted, or reinstalled at a later point in time, the data subject must reinstall the browser add-on to deactivate Google Analytics. If the browser add-on is uninstalled or deactivated by the data subject or another person who can be attributed to their sphere of influence, it is possible to reinstall or reactivate the browser add-on.

Further Informationen and the current privacy informationo of Google can be viewed on this site: WWW.GOOGLE.DE/INTL/DE/POLICIES/PRIVACY/ and here: WWW.GOOGLE.COM/ANALYTICS/TERMS/DE.HTML. Google Analytics is explained here: WWW.GOOGLE.COM/INTL/DE_DE/ANALYTICS/.

The data controller has integrated Google AdWords into this website. Google AdWords is an internet advertising service that allows advertisers to place ads both in Google search engine results and in the Google advertising network. Google AdWords allows an advertiser to predefine certain keywords, through which an ad will be displayed in Google search engine results only when the user retrieves a keyword-relevant search result using the search engine. In the Google advertising network, ads are distributed on topic-relevant websites using an automated algorithm and taking into account the predefined keywords.

The operator company of Google AdWords services is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA.

The purpose of Google AdWords is to promote our website by displaying interest-based advertising on third-party websites and in Google search engine results, and to display third-party advertising on our website.

If an individual accesses our website via a Google ad, a so-called conversion cookie is stored on the individual’s information technology system by Google. What cookies are has already been explained above. A conversion cookie loses its validity after thirty days and is not used to identify the individual concerned. The conversion cookie allows us and Google to determine whether certain sub-pages, such as the shopping cart of an online shop system, have been accessed on our website if the cookie has not yet expired. Through the conversion cookie, both we and Google can track whether an individual who came to our website via an AdWords ad generated revenue, i.e. made a purchase or abandoned a purchase.

The data and information collected by using the conversion cookie is used by Google to create visit statistics for our website. We, in turn, use these visit statistics to determine the total number of users who have been referred to us via AdWords ads, that is, to determine the success or failure of the respective AdWords ad and to optimize our AdWords ads for the future. Neither our company nor other advertising clients of Google AdWords receive information from Google that could be used to identify the affected person.

Personal information, such as the internet pages visited by the data subject, is stored using the conversion cookie. Therefore, each time our website is visited, personal data, including the IP address of the internet connection used by the data subject, is transferred to Google in the United States of America. This personal data is stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may also share this personal data collected through the technical process with third parties.

The data subject can prevent the placement of cookies by our website, as described above, at any time by making the appropriate settings in the internet browser being used, thereby objecting to the placement of cookies permanently. Such a setting of the internet browser used would also prevent Google from setting a conversion cookie on the data subject’s information technology system. In addition, a cookie already set by Google AdWords can be deleted at any time via the internet browser or other software programs.

Furthermore, the data subject has the option to object to interest-based advertising by Google. To do this, the data subject must call up the link www.google.de/settings/ads from each of the internet browsers used by them and make the desired settings there.

Further information and the applicable data protection provisions of Google can be accessed at WWW.GOOGLE.DE/INTL/EN/POLICIES/PRIVACY/.

The controller has integrated components from Vimeo on this website. Vimeo is an internet video portal that allows video publishers to post video clips for free and other users to view, rate, and comment on them for free as well. Vimeo allows for the publication of all types of videos, which is why complete films and TV shows, as well as music videos, trailers, or videos made by users themselves, can be accessed through the internet portal.

The operating company of Vimeo is Vimeo, Inc., 555 West 18th Street, New York, New York 10011, USA.

Whenever a data subject accesses one of the individual pages of this website operated by the controller and on which a Vimeo component (Vimeo video) has been integrated, the Internet browser on the data subject’s information technology system is automatically prompted by the respective Vimeo component to download a representation of the corresponding Vimeo component from Vimeo. Further information on Vimeo can be found at WWW.VIMEO.COM/DE/ABOUT. Within the scope of this technical procedure, Vimeo and Google receive knowledge of which specific subpage of our website is visited by the data subject.

If the data subject is logged in to Vimeo at the same time, Vimeo recognizes which specific sub-page of our website the data subject is visiting by calling up a sub-page that contains a Vimeo video. This information is collected by Vimeo and Google and assigned to the respective Vimeo account of the data subject.

Vimeo always receives information via the Vimeo component that the data subject has visited our website if the data subject is simultaneously logged into Vimeo at the time of calling up our website; this takes place regardless of whether the data subject clicks on a Vimeo video or not. If the data subject does not want this information to be transmitted to Vimeo, he or she can prevent the transmission by logging out of his or her Vimeo account before accessing our website.

The privacy policy published by Vimeo, which is available at WWW.VIMEO.COM/PRIVACY, provides information on the collection, processing and use of personal data by Vimeo.

Art. 6 I lit. a DS-GVO serves as the legal basis for our company for processing operations in which we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose.

If the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, as is the case, for example, with processing operations that are necessary for a delivery of goods or the provision of another service or consideration, the processing is based on Art. 6 I lit. b DS-GVO.

The same applies to such processing operations that are necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures, for example in cases of inquiries about our products or services. If our company is subject to a legal obligation by which a processing of personal data becomes necessary, such as for the fulfillment of tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6 I lit. c DS-GVO.

The same applies to such processing operations that are necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures, for example in the case of inquiries about our products or services.

In rare cases, the processing of personal data might become necessary in order to protect vital interests of the data subject or another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor were to be injured on our premises and as a result his or her name, age, health insurance data or other vital information had to be passed on to a doctor, hospital or other third party. Then the processing would be based on Art. 6 I lit. d DS-GVO.

Lastly, processing operations could be based on Art. 6 I lit. f DS-GVO. Processing operations which are not covered by any of the aforementioned legal bases are based on this legal basis if the processing is necessary for the protection of a legitimate interest of our company or a third party, provided that the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject are not overridden.

Such processing operations are permitted to us in particular because they were specifically mentioned by the European legislator. In this respect, it took the view that a legitimate interest could be assumed if the data subject is a customer of the controller (Recital 47, Sentence 2 DS-GVO).

Where the processing of personal data is based on Article 6 I lit. f DS-GVO, our legitimate interest is the conduct of our business for the benefit of the well-being of all our employees and our shareholders.

The criterion for the duration of the storage of personal data is the respective statutory retention period. After expiry of the period, the corresponding data is routinely deleted, provided that it is no longer required for the performance of the contract or the initiation of the contract.

We inform you that the provision of personal data is sometimes required by law (e.g. tax regulations) or may also result from contractual regulations (e.g. information on the contractual partner).

Sometimes it may be necessary for the conclusion of a contract that a data subject provides us with personal data that must subsequently be processed by us. For example, the data subject is obliged to provide us with personal data if our company concludes a contract with him or her.

If the data subject does not provide us with personal data, we will not process it.

Failure to provide the personal data would mean that the contract with the data subject could not be concluded. Before providing personal data by the data subject, the data subject must contact our data protection officer.

Our data protection officer.

Our data protection officer will inform the data subject on a case-by-case basis whether the provision of the personal data is required by law or contract or is necessary for the conclusion of the contract, whether there is an obligation to provide the personal data, and what the consequences of not providing the personal data would be.

As a responsible company, we do not use automated decision making or profiling.

PRIVACY POLICY

PRIVACY POLICY

We are very pleased about your interest in our company. Data protection has a particularly high priority for City Parkhaus GmbH & Co. KG. The use of the internet pages of City Parkhaus GmbH & Co. KG is basically possible without any indication of personal data. However, if a data subject wishes to use special services of our company via our website, processing of personal data could become necessary. If the processing of personal data is necessary and there is no legal basis for such processing, we generally obtain the consent of the data subject.

The processing of personal data, such as the name, address, e-mail address, or telephone number of a data subject, always takes place in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation and in compliance with the country-specific data protection regulations applicable to City Parkhaus GmbH & Co. KG. With this privacy policy, our company would like to inform the public about the nature, scope, and purpose of the personal data we collect, use, and process. In addition, data subjects are informed about their rights through this privacy policy.

City Parkhaus GmbH & Co. KG, as the controller responsible for processing, has implemented numerous technical and organizational measures to ensure the most complete protection possible for personal data processed through this website. However, internet-based data transmissions can generally have security gaps, so that absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, every data subject is free to also transmit personal data to us via alternative means, such as by phone.

The data protection declaration of City Parkhaus GmbH & Co. KG is based on the terms used by the European directive and regulatory authority in the enactment of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Our data protection declaration should be legible and understandable for the general public, as well as our customers and business partners. To ensure this, we would like to explain the terms used in advance.

In this data protection declaration, we use, among other things, the following terms:

a) Personal data
Personal data means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (hereinafter referred to as “data subject”). An identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier, or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural, or social identity of that natural person.

b) Data subject
Data subject is any identified or identifiable natural person whose personal data is processed by the controller.

c) Processing
Processing is any operation or set of operations which is performed on personal data, whether or not by automated means, such as collection, recording, organization, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure or destruction.

d) Restriction of processing
Restriction of processing is the marking of stored personal data with the aim of limiting their processing in the future.

e) Profiling
Profiling means 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 that natural person’s performance at work, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behavior, location or movements.

f) Pseudonymisation
Pseudonymisation is the processing of personal data in such a way that the personal data can no longer be attributed to a specific data subject without the use of additional information, provided that such additional information is kept separately and is subject to technical and organisational measures to ensure that the personal data is not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.

g) Controller
Controller means the natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data. Where the purposes and means of such processing are determined by Union or Member State law, the controller or the specific criteria for its nomination may be provided for by Union or Member State law.

h) Processor
Processor means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which processes personal data on behalf of the controller.

i) Recipient
Recipient means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or another body, to which the personal data are disclosed, whether a third party or not. However, authorities which may receive personal data in the framework of a particular inquiry in accordance with Union or Member State law shall not be regarded as recipients.

j) Third party
A third party is a natural or legal person, authority, institution, or other entity other than the data subject, the controller, the processor, and the persons who, under the direct authority of the controller or the processor, are authorized to process personal data.

k) Consent
Consent is any freely given, specific, informed, and unambiguous indication of the data subject’s wishes by which he or she, by a statement or by a clear affirmative action, signifies agreement to the processing of personal data relating to him or her.

The controller within the meaning of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), other data protection laws applicable in Member states of the European Union, and other provisions related to data protection is:

City Parkhaus GmbH & Co. KG

The websites of City Parkhaus GmbH & Co. KG use cookies. Cookies are text files that are stored and saved on a computer system via an internet browser.

Many websites and servers use cookies. Many cookies contain a so-called cookie ID. A cookie ID is a unique identifier of the cookie. It consists of a character string through which websites and servers can be assigned to the specific internet browser in which the cookie was stored. This allows visited websites and servers to differentiate the individual browser of the affected person from other internet browsers that contain other cookies. A particular internet browser can be recognized and identified via the unique cookie ID.

By using cookies, City Parkhaus GmbH & Co. KG can provide users of this website with more user-friendly services that would not be possible without the cookie setting.

By means of a cookie, the information and offers on our website can be optimized for the benefit of the user. As mentioned before, cookies enable us to recognize users of our website. The purpose of this recognition is to make it easier for users to use our website. For example, a user of a website that uses cookies does not have to enter his or her access data again each time they visit the website, because this is taken over by the website and the cookie stored on the user’s computer system. Another example is the cookie of a shopping cart in an online shop. The online shop remembers the items a customer has placed in the virtual shopping cart via a cookie.

The data subject can prevent the setting of cookies by our website at any time by means of a corresponding setting of the Internet browser used and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Furthermore, cookies that have already been set can be deleted at any time via an Internet browser or other software programs. This is possible in all common Internet browsers. If the data subject deactivates the setting of cookies in the Internet browser used, not all functions of our website may be fully usable.

With every access of the Internet site of City Parkhaus GmbH & Co. KG by a data subject or an automated system, a set of general data and information is recorded. This general data and information is stored in the log files of the server. The following data can be recorded: (1) the browser types and versions used, (2) the operating system used by the accessing system, (3) the website from which an accessing system accesses our website (so-called referrers), (4) the sub-websites that are accessed via an accessing system on our website, (5) the date and time of access to the website, (6) an internet protocol address (IP address), (7) the internet service provider of the accessing system, and (8) other similar data and information that serve to avert danger in the event of attacks on our information technology systems.

When using this general data and information, City Parkhaus GmbH & Co. KG does not draw any conclusions about the affected person. Rather, this information is needed to (1) correctly deliver the contents of our website, (2) optimize the contents of our website as well as its advertising, (3) ensure the permanent functionality of our information technology systems and the technology of our website, and (4) provide law enforcement agencies with the necessary information for prosecution in the event of a cyber attack. These anonymously collected data and information are therefore statistically evaluated by City Parkhaus GmbH & Co. KG on the one hand, and on the other hand, with the aim of increasing data protection and data security in our company, ultimately to ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data processed by us. The anonymous data of the server log files are stored separately from all personal data provided by an affected person.

The website of City Parkhaus GmbH & Co. KG contains information, which due to legal regulations, enables a quick electronic contact to our company as well as direct communication with us, including a general address of so-called electronic mail (e-mail address).

If an affected person contacts the data controller by e-mail or via a contact form, the personal data transmitted by the affected person is automatically stored.

Such personal data voluntarily provided by an affected person to the data controller is stored for the purpose of processing or contacting the affected person. There is no disclosure of this personal data to third parties.

The data controller processes and stores personal data of the affected person only for the period necessary to achieve the storage purpose or as provided by the European directives and regulations legislator or another legislator in laws or regulations to which the data controller is subject to.

Once the storage purpose no longer applies or a storage period prescribed by the European directives and regulations legislator or another competent legislator expires, the personal data is routinely blocked or erased in accordance with the legal requirements.

a) Right to confirmation
Every data subject has the right granted by the European legislator to obtain from the controller confirmation as to whether or not personal data concerning them are being processed. If a data subject wishes to exercise this confirmation right, they may at any time contact our data protection officer or another employee of the controller.

b) Right to information
Every data subject whose personal data is processed has the right granted by the European legislator to obtain from the controller free information about the personal data stored about them and to receive a copy of this information. Furthermore, the European legislator has granted the data subject the right to obtain information about the following:

the purposes of the processing
the categories of personal data that are processed
the recipients or categories of recipients to whom the personal data have been or will be disclosed, in particular recipients in third countries or international organizations
if possible, the planned duration for which the personal data will be stored, or, if this is not possible, the criteria for determining this duration
the existence of a right to rectification or erasure of personal data concerning them, or to restriction of processing by the controller, or to object to such processing
the existence of a right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority
if the personal data are not collected from the data subject: All available information about the origin of the data
the existence of automated decision-making, including profiling, pursuant to Article 22(1) and (4) of the GDPR and, at least in those cases, meaningful information about the logic involved, as well as the significance and the envisaged consequences of such processing for the data subject
Furthermore, the data subject has the right to be informed whether personal data have been transferred to a third country or to an international organization. If this is the case, the data subject also has the right to be informed of the appropriate safeguards relating to the transfer.

If an affected person wishes to exercise this right to information, they can contact our data protection officer or another employee responsible for processing at any time.

c) Right to rectification
Every person affected by the processing of personal data has the right, granted by the European Directive and Regulation Maker, to request the immediate correction of any inaccurate personal data concerning them. Furthermore, taking into account the purposes of the processing, the data subject has the right to request the completion of incomplete personal data, including by means of a supplementary statement.

If an affected person wishes to exercise this right to rectification, they can contact our data protection officer or another employee responsible for processing at any time.

d) Right to erasure (Right to be forgotten)
Every person affected by the processing of personal data has the right, granted by the European Directive and Regulation Maker, to demand from the controller the immediate erasure of personal data concerning them, if one of the following reasons applies and the processing is not necessary:

The personal data have been collected or otherwise processed for purposes for which they are no longer necessary.
The data subject withdraws consent on which the processing according to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR or Art. 9(2)(a) GDPR was based, and there is no other legal ground for the processing.
The data subject objects to the processing pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR, and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing, or the data subject objects to the processing pursuant to Art. 21(2) GDPR.
The personal data have been unlawfully processed.
The erasure of personal data is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation under Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject.
The personal data have been collected in relation to the offer of information society services referred to in Art. 8(1) GDPR.
If one of the aforementioned reasons applies and a data subject wants to request the erasure of personal data stored by City Parkhaus GmbH & Co. KG, they may at any time contact our Data Protection Officer or another employee of the controller. The Data Protection Officer of City Parkhaus GmbH & Co. KG or another employee will ensure that the erasure request is complied with without delay.

If the personal data have been made public by City Parkhaus GmbH & Co. KG and our company, as the controller, is obliged to erase the personal data pursuant to Art. 17(1) GDPR, City Parkhaus GmbH & Co. KG, taking into account available technology and implementation costs, will take reasonable steps, including technical measures, to inform other controllers processing the published personal data that the data subject has requested erasure by such controllers of any links to, or copy or replication of, those personal data, unless the processing is necessary. The Data Protection Officer of City Parkhaus GmbH & Co. KG or another employee will take necessary measures in individual cases.

e) Right to Restriction of Processing
Any person affected by the processing of personal data has the right, granted by the European directive and regulatory authority, to request from the controller the restriction of processing where one of the following applies:

The accuracy of the personal data is contested by the data subject, for a period enabling the controller to verify the accuracy of the personal data.
The processing is unlawful and the data subject opposes the erasure of the personal data and requests instead the restriction of their use.
The controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of processing, but they are required by the data subject for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.
The data subject has objected to processing pursuant to Article 21(1) of the GDPR pending the verification whether the legitimate grounds of the controller override those of the data subject.
If one of the aforementioned conditions is met, and a data subject wishes to request the restriction of personal data stored by City Parkhaus GmbH & Co. KG, they may at any time contact our data protection officer or another employee of the controller. The data protection officer of City Parkhaus GmbH & Co. KG or another employee will arrange the restriction of the processing.

f) Right to Data Portability
Any person affected by the processing of personal data has the right, granted by the European directive and regulatory authority, to receive the personal data concerning them, which they have provided to a controller, in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format. They also have the right to transmit those data to another controller without hindrance from the controller to which the personal data have been provided, where the processing is based on consent pursuant to Article 6(1)(a) GDPR or Article 9(2)(a) GDPR or on a contract pursuant to Article 6(1)(b) GDPR, and the processing is carried out by automated means, as long as the processing is not necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller.

Furthermore, in exercising their right to data portability pursuant to Article 20(1) GDPR, the data subject has the right to have the personal data transmitted directly from one controller to another, where technically feasible and provided that this does not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others.

In order to exercise the right to data portability, the data subject may at any time contact the data protection officer appointed by City Parkhaus GmbH & Co. KG or another employee.

g) Right to object
Any data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right, granted by the European directive and regulatory authority, to object at any time, on grounds relating to their particular situation, to the processing of personal data concerning them, which is based on Article 6(1)(e) or (f) of the GDPR. This also applies to profiling based on these provisions.

If the data subject objects, City Parkhaus GmbH & Co. KG will no longer process the personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override the interests, rights and freedoms of the data subject or for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims.

If City Parkhaus GmbH & Co. KG processes personal data for the purpose of direct marketing, the data subject has the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning them for such marketing, including profiling related to such direct marketing. If the data subject objects to processing for direct marketing purposes, City Parkhaus GmbH & Co. KG will no longer process the personal data for such purposes.

Furthermore, the data subject has the right to object, on grounds relating to their particular situation, to the processing of personal data concerning them which is carried out by City Parkhaus GmbH & Co. KG for scientific or historical research purposes or statistical purposes pursuant to Article 89(1) of the GDPR, unless the processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest.

To exercise the right to object, the data subject may directly contact the data protection officer of City Parkhaus GmbH & Co. KG or another employee. The data subject is also free to exercise their right to object in relation to the use of information society services, notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC, by means of automated procedures using technical specifications.

h) Automated individual decision-making, including profiling
Every data subject shall have the right granted by the European legislator not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects concerning him or her or similarly significantly affects him or her, as long as the decision (1) is not necessary for entering into, or the performance of, a contract between the data subject and a data controller, or (2) is not authorised by Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject and which also lays down suitable measures to safeguard the data subject’s rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, or (3) is not based on the data subject’s explicit consent.

If the decision (1) is necessary for entering into, or the performance of, a contract between the data subject and the data controller, or (2) is based on the data subject’s explicit consent, the City Parkhaus GmbH & Co. KG shall implement suitable measures to safeguard the data subject’s rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, which shall include at least the right to obtain human intervention on the part of the controller, to express his or her point of view and to contest the decision.

If the data subject wishes to exercise rights relating to automated decision-making, they may contact our data protection officer or another employee of the controller at any time.

i) Right to withdraw consent
Any data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator to withdraw consent to the processing of personal data at any time.

If the data subject wishes to exercise their right to withdraw consent, they may contact our data protection officer or another employee of the controller at any time.

The controller collects and processes personal data from applicants for the purpose of handling the job application process.

The processing may also be done electronically. This is particularly the case if an applicant submits corresponding application documents to the controller electronically, for example by email or via a web form located on the website.

If the controller enters into an employment contract with an applicant, the data transmitted will be stored for the purpose of processing the employment relationship in compliance with legal requirements.

If the controller does not enter into an employment contract with the applicant, the application documents will be automatically deleted two months after the rejection decision has been communicated, unless deletion conflicts with other legitimate interests of the controller.

Other legitimate interests in this sense may include the obligation to provide evidence in a proceeding under the General Equal Treatment Act (AGG).

The controller has integrated components of the company Facebook on this website. Facebook is a social network.

A social network is an online social meeting place operated on the Internet that generally allows users to communicate with each other and interact in a virtual space. A social network can serve as a platform for the exchange of opinions and experiences, or it allows the internet community to provide personal or company-related information. Among other things, Facebook allows users of the social network to create private profiles, upload photos, and network through friend requests.

The operating company of Facebook is Facebook, Inc., 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA. The controller responsible for the processing of personal data is Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland, if a data subject lives outside the USA or Canada.

By accessing any of the individual pages of this website, which is operated by the data controller and on which a Facebook component (Facebook plug-in) has been integrated, the internet browser on the information technology system of the affected person is automatically prompted by the respective Facebook component to download a representation of the corresponding Facebook component from Facebook. An overview of all Facebook plug-ins can be accessed at DEVELOPERS.FACEBOOK.COM/DOCS/PLUGINS/. As part of this technical process, Facebook is informed of which specific subpage of our website is visited by the affected person.

Provided that the data subject is logged in to Facebook at the same time, Facebook recognizes with every call to our website by the data subject and during the entire duration of their stay on our website which specific subpage of our website the data subject visits. This information is collected by the Facebook component and assigned by Facebook to the respective Facebook account of the data subject. If the data subject clicks one of the Facebook buttons integrated on our website, such as the “Like” button, or if the data subject submits a comment, Facebook assigns this information to the personal Facebook user account of the data subject and stores this personal data.

Whenever the data subject is logged in to Facebook at the time of accessing our website, Facebook receives information through the Facebook component that the data subject has visited our website, regardless of whether the data subject clicks on the Facebook component or not. If the data subject does not want such information to be transmitted to Facebook, they can prevent this by logging out of their Facebook account before accessing our website.

The data policy published by Facebook, which is available at DE-DE.FACEBOOK.COM/ABOUT/PRIVACY/, provides information on the collection, processing, and use of personal data by Facebook. Furthermore, it explains the privacy settings that Facebook offers to protect the data subject’s privacy. Additionally, various applications are available that allow the data subject to suppress data transmission to Facebook. Such applications can be used by the data subject to suppress data transmission to Facebook.

The controller has integrated the Google Analytics component (with anonymization function) into this website. Google Analytics is a web analytics service that collects, compiles, and analyzes data about the behavior of visitors to websites. Among other things, a web analytics service collects data about the website from which a data subject has come to a website (so-called referrer), which subpages of the website were accessed or how often and for what duration a subpage was viewed. Web analytics is primarily used to optimize a website and to analyze the cost-benefit of internet advertising.

The operator of the Google Analytics component is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA.

The controller uses the “_gat._anonymizeIp” add-on for web analytics through Google Analytics. With this add-on, the IP address of the internet connection of the data subject is truncated and anonymized by Google when accessing our website from a member state of the European Union or from another contracting state to the Agreement on the European Economic Area.

The purpose of the Google Analytics component is to analyze visitor traffic on our website. Google uses the data and information obtained, among other things, to evaluate the use of our website in order to compile online reports for us, which show the activities on our websites, and to provide further services related to the use of our website.

Google Analytics sets a cookie on the information technology system of the person concerned. What cookies are has already been explained above. By setting the cookie, Google is enabled to analyze the use of our website. With each call-up to one of the individual pages of this website, which is operated by the controller and on which a Google Analytics component was integrated, the Internet browser on the information technology system of the person concerned is automatically prompted to transmit data for the purpose of online analysis to Google. As part of this technical process, Google obtains knowledge of personal data, such as the IP address of the person concerned, which serves, among other things, to trace the origin of visitors and clicks and subsequently to enable commission settlements.

Personal information, such as the access time, the location from which access was made, and the frequency of visits to our website by the person concerned, is stored by means of the cookie. Each time our website is visited, this personal data, including the IP address of the internet connection used by the person concerned, is transferred to Google in the United States of America. This personal data is stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may disclose this personal data collected through the technical process to third parties.

The person concerned can prevent the setting of cookies through our website at any time, as already shown above, by means of a corresponding setting of the internet browser used and can therefore permanently object to the setting of cookies. Such a setting of the internet browser used would also prevent Google from setting a cookie on the information technology system of the person concerned. In addition, a cookie already set by Google Analytics can be deleted at any time via the internet browser or other software programs.

Furthermore, the data subject has the possibility to object to the collection of data generated by Google Analytics related to the use of this website and the processing of this data by Google and to prevent such processing. To do so, the data subject must download and install a browser add-on from the link TOOLS.GOOGLE.COM/DLPAGE/GAOPTOUT. This browser add-on informs Google Analytics via JavaScript that no data or information regarding website visits may be transmitted to Google Analytics. The installation of the browser add-on is considered as an objection by Google. If the information technology system of the data subject is deleted, formatted, or reinstalled at a later point in time, the data subject must reinstall the browser add-on to deactivate Google Analytics. If the browser add-on is uninstalled or deactivated by the data subject or another person who can be attributed to their sphere of influence, it is possible to reinstall or reactivate the browser add-on.

Further Informationen and the current privacy informationo of Google can be viewed on this site: WWW.GOOGLE.DE/INTL/DE/POLICIES/PRIVACY/ and here: WWW.GOOGLE.COM/ANALYTICS/TERMS/DE.HTML. Google Analytics is explained here: WWW.GOOGLE.COM/INTL/DE_DE/ANALYTICS/.

The data controller has integrated Google AdWords into this website. Google AdWords is an internet advertising service that allows advertisers to place ads both in Google search engine results and in the Google advertising network. Google AdWords allows an advertiser to predefine certain keywords, through which an ad will be displayed in Google search engine results only when the user retrieves a keyword-relevant search result using the search engine. In the Google advertising network, ads are distributed on topic-relevant websites using an automated algorithm and taking into account the predefined keywords.

The operator company of Google AdWords services is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA.

The purpose of Google AdWords is to promote our website by displaying interest-based advertising on third-party websites and in Google search engine results, and to display third-party advertising on our website.

If an individual accesses our website via a Google ad, a so-called conversion cookie is stored on the individual’s information technology system by Google. What cookies are has already been explained above. A conversion cookie loses its validity after thirty days and is not used to identify the individual concerned. The conversion cookie allows us and Google to determine whether certain sub-pages, such as the shopping cart of an online shop system, have been accessed on our website if the cookie has not yet expired. Through the conversion cookie, both we and Google can track whether an individual who came to our website via an AdWords ad generated revenue, i.e. made a purchase or abandoned a purchase.

The data and information collected by using the conversion cookie is used by Google to create visit statistics for our website. We, in turn, use these visit statistics to determine the total number of users who have been referred to us via AdWords ads, that is, to determine the success or failure of the respective AdWords ad and to optimize our AdWords ads for the future. Neither our company nor other advertising clients of Google AdWords receive information from Google that could be used to identify the affected person.

Personal information, such as the internet pages visited by the data subject, is stored using the conversion cookie. Therefore, each time our website is visited, personal data, including the IP address of the internet connection used by the data subject, is transferred to Google in the United States of America. This personal data is stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may also share this personal data collected through the technical process with third parties.

The data subject can prevent the placement of cookies by our website, as described above, at any time by making the appropriate settings in the internet browser being used, thereby objecting to the placement of cookies permanently. Such a setting of the internet browser used would also prevent Google from setting a conversion cookie on the data subject’s information technology system. In addition, a cookie already set by Google AdWords can be deleted at any time via the internet browser or other software programs.

Furthermore, the data subject has the option to object to interest-based advertising by Google. To do this, the data subject must call up the link www.google.de/settings/ads from each of the internet browsers used by them and make the desired settings there.

Further information and the applicable data protection provisions of Google can be accessed at WWW.GOOGLE.DE/INTL/EN/POLICIES/PRIVACY/.

The controller has integrated components from Vimeo on this website. Vimeo is an internet video portal that allows video publishers to post video clips for free and other users to view, rate, and comment on them for free as well. Vimeo allows for the publication of all types of videos, which is why complete films and TV shows, as well as music videos, trailers, or videos made by users themselves, can be accessed through the internet portal.

The operating company of Vimeo is Vimeo, Inc., 555 West 18th Street, New York, New York 10011, USA.

Whenever a data subject accesses one of the individual pages of this website operated by the controller and on which a Vimeo component (Vimeo video) has been integrated, the Internet browser on the data subject’s information technology system is automatically prompted by the respective Vimeo component to download a representation of the corresponding Vimeo component from Vimeo. Further information on Vimeo can be found at WWW.VIMEO.COM/DE/ABOUT. Within the scope of this technical procedure, Vimeo and Google receive knowledge of which specific subpage of our website is visited by the data subject.

If the data subject is logged in to Vimeo at the same time, Vimeo recognizes which specific sub-page of our website the data subject is visiting by calling up a sub-page that contains a Vimeo video. This information is collected by Vimeo and Google and assigned to the respective Vimeo account of the data subject.

Vimeo always receives information via the Vimeo component that the data subject has visited our website if the data subject is simultaneously logged into Vimeo at the time of calling up our website; this takes place regardless of whether the data subject clicks on a Vimeo video or not. If the data subject does not want this information to be transmitted to Vimeo, he or she can prevent the transmission by logging out of his or her Vimeo account before accessing our website.

The privacy policy published by Vimeo, which is available at WWW.VIMEO.COM/PRIVACY, provides information on the collection, processing and use of personal data by Vimeo.

Art. 6 I lit. a DS-GVO serves as the legal basis for our company for processing operations in which we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose.

If the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, as is the case, for example, with processing operations that are necessary for a delivery of goods or the provision of another service or consideration, the processing is based on Art. 6 I lit. b DS-GVO.

The same applies to such processing operations that are necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures, for example in cases of inquiries about our products or services. If our company is subject to a legal obligation by which a processing of personal data becomes necessary, such as for the fulfillment of tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6 I lit. c DS-GVO.

The same applies to such processing operations that are necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures, for example in the case of inquiries about our products or services.

In rare cases, the processing of personal data might become necessary in order to protect vital interests of the data subject or another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor were to be injured on our premises and as a result his or her name, age, health insurance data or other vital information had to be passed on to a doctor, hospital or other third party. Then the processing would be based on Art. 6 I lit. d DS-GVO.

Lastly, processing operations could be based on Art. 6 I lit. f DS-GVO. Processing operations which are not covered by any of the aforementioned legal bases are based on this legal basis if the processing is necessary for the protection of a legitimate interest of our company or a third party, provided that the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject are not overridden.

Such processing operations are permitted to us in particular because they were specifically mentioned by the European legislator. In this respect, it took the view that a legitimate interest could be assumed if the data subject is a customer of the controller (Recital 47, Sentence 2 DS-GVO).

Where the processing of personal data is based on Article 6 I lit. f DS-GVO, our legitimate interest is the conduct of our business for the benefit of the well-being of all our employees and our shareholders.

The criterion for the duration of the storage of personal data is the respective statutory retention period. After expiry of the period, the corresponding data is routinely deleted, provided that it is no longer required for the performance of the contract or the initiation of the contract.

We inform you that the provision of personal data is sometimes required by law (e.g. tax regulations) or may also result from contractual regulations (e.g. information on the contractual partner).

Sometimes it may be necessary for the conclusion of a contract that a data subject provides us with personal data that must subsequently be processed by us. For example, the data subject is obliged to provide us with personal data if our company concludes a contract with him or her.

If the data subject does not provide us with personal data, we will not process it.

Failure to provide the personal data would mean that the contract with the data subject could not be concluded. Before providing personal data by the data subject, the data subject must contact our data protection officer.

Our data protection officer.

Our data protection officer will inform the data subject on a case-by-case basis whether the provision of the personal data is required by law or contract or is necessary for the conclusion of the contract, whether there is an obligation to provide the personal data, and what the consequences of not providing the personal data would be.

As a responsible company, we do not use automated decision making or profiling.
