Data re­cord­ing on this website

Who is the re­spons­ible party for the re­cord­ing of data on this web­site (i.e. the ‘con­trol­ler’)?

The data on this web­site is pro­cessed by the op­er­ator of the web­site, whose con­tact in­form­a­tion is avail­able under sec­tion Legal No­tice on this website.

How do we re­cord your data?

We col­lect your data as a res­ult of your shar­ing of your data with us. This may, for in­stance be in­form­a­tion you enter into our con­tact form. Other data shall be re­cor­ded by our IT sys­tems auto­mat­ic­ally or after you con­sent to its re­cord­ing dur­ing your web­site visit. This data com­prises primar­ily tech­nical in­form­a­tion (e.g. web browser, op­er­at­ing sys­tem or time the site was ac­cessed). This in­form­a­tion is re­cor­ded auto­mat­ic­ally when you ac­cess this website.

What are the pur­poses we use your data for?

A por­tion of the in­form­a­tion is gen­er­ated to guar­an­tee the error free pro­vi­sion of the web­site. Other data may be used to ana­lyze your user patterns.

Moreover, you have the right to de­mand that the pro­cessing of your data be re­stric­ted under cer­tain cir­cum­stances. Fur­ther­more, you have the right to log a com­plaint with the com­pet­ent su­per­vising agency. Please do not hes­it­ate to con­tact us at any time under the ad­dress dis­closed in sec­tion Legal No­tice on this web­site if you have ques­tions about this or any other data pro­tec­tion re­lated issues.

Ana­lysis tools and tools provided by third parties

There is a pos­sib­il­ity that your brows­ing pat­terns will be stat­ist­ic­ally ana­lyzed when your visit this web­site. Such ana­lyses are per­formed primar­ily with what we refer to as ana­lysis pro­grams. For de­tailed in­form­a­tion about these ana­lysis pro­grams please con­sult our Data Pro­tec­tion De­clar­a­tion below.

2. Gen­eral in­form­a­tion and man­dat­ory information

Data pro­tec­tion

The op­er­at­ors of this web­site and its pages take the pro­tec­tion of your per­sonal data very ser­i­ously. Hence, we handle your per­sonal data as con­fid­en­tial in­form­a­tion and in com­pli­ance with the stat­utory data pro­tec­tion reg­u­la­tions and this Data Pro­tec­tion De­clar­a­tion. Whenever you use this web­site, a vari­ety of per­sonal in­form­a­tion will be col­lec­ted. Per­sonal data com­prises data that can be used to per­son­ally identify you. This Data Pro­tec­tion De­clar­a­tion ex­plains which data we col­lect as well as the pur­poses we use this data for. It also ex­plains how, and for which pur­pose the in­form­a­tion is col­lec­ted. We here­with ad­vise you that the trans­mis­sion of data via the In­ter­net (i.e. through e‑mail com­mu­nic­a­tions) may be prone to se­cur­ity gaps. It is not pos­sible to com­pletely pro­tect data against third-party access.

In­form­a­tion about the re­spons­ible party (re­ferred to as the ‘con­trol­ler’ in the GDPR)

The data pro­cessing con­trol­ler on this web­site is:

Hedwig Schenkel Lim­ited
Manuela Schenkel
52 Mill­pool Gar­dens
Birm­ing­ham B14 5EU
United King­dom

Phone +44 7708 170753
manuela@​happyageing-​hub.​com

The con­trol­ler is the nat­ural per­son or legal en­tity that single-handedly or jointly with oth­ers makes de­cisions as to the pur­poses of and re­sources for the pro­cessing of per­sonal data (e.g. names, e‑mail ad­dresses, etc.).

Stor­age duration

Un­less a more spe­cific stor­age period has been spe­cified in this pri­vacy policy, your per­sonal data will re­main with us until the pur­pose for which it was col­lec­ted no longer ap­plies. If you as­sert a jus­ti­fied re­quest for de­le­tion or re­voke your con­sent to data pro­cessing, your data will be de­leted, un­less we have other leg­ally per­miss­ible reas­ons for stor­ing your per­sonal data (e.g. tax or com­mer­cial law re­ten­tion peri­ods); in the lat­ter case, the de­le­tion will take place after these reas­ons cease to apply.

In­form­a­tion on data trans­fer to the USA

Our web­site uses, in par­tic­u­lar, tools from com­pan­ies based in the USA. When these tools are act­ive, your per­sonal in­form­a­tion may be trans­ferred to the US serv­ers of these com­pan­ies. We must point out that the USA is not a safe third coun­try within the mean­ing of EU data pro­tec­tion law. US com­pan­ies are re­quired to re­lease per­sonal data to se­cur­ity au­thor­it­ies without you as the data sub­ject being able to take legal ac­tion against this. The pos­sib­il­ity can­not there­fore be ex­cluded that US au­thor­it­ies (e.g. secret ser­vices) may pro­cess, eval­u­ate and per­man­ently store your data on US serv­ers for mon­it­or­ing pur­poses. We have no in­flu­ence over these pro­cessing activities.

Re­voc­a­tion of your con­sent to the pro­cessing of data

A wide range of data pro­cessing trans­ac­tions are pos­sible only sub­ject to your ex­press con­sent. You can also re­voke at any time any con­sent you have already given us. This shall be without pre­ju­dice to the law­ful­ness of any data col­lec­tion that oc­curred prior to your revocation.

Right to ob­ject to the col­lec­tion of data in spe­cial cases; right to ob­ject to dir­ect ad­vert­ising (Art. 21 GDPR)

In the event that data are pro­cessed on the basis of Art. 6 Sect. 1 Lit. e or f GDPR, you have the right to at any time ob­ject to the pro­cessing of your per­sonal data based on grounds arising from your unique situ­ation. This also ap­plies to any pro­fil­ing based on these pro­vi­sions. To de­term­ine the legal basis, on which any pro­cessing of data is based, please con­sult this Data Pro­tec­tion De­clar­a­tion. If you log an ob­jec­tion, we will no longer pro­cess your af­fected per­sonal data, un­less we are in a po­s­i­tion to present com­pel­ling pro­tec­tion worthy grounds for the pro­cessing of your data, that out­weigh your in­terests, rights and freedoms or if the pur­pose of the pro­cessing is the claim­ing, ex­er­cising or de­fence of legal en­ti­tle­ments (ob­jec­tion pur­su­ant to Art. 21 Sect. 1 GDPR). If your per­sonal data is being pro­cessed in order to en­gage in dir­ect ad­vert­ising, you have the right to at any time ob­ject to the pro­cessing of your af­fected per­sonal data for the pur­poses of such ad­vert­ising. This also ap­plies to pro­fil­ing to the ex­tent that it is af­fil­i­ated with such dir­ect ad­vert­ising. If you ob­ject, your per­sonal data will sub­sequently no longer be used for dir­ect ad­vert­ising pur­poses (ob­jec­tion pur­su­ant to Art. 21 Sect. 2 GDPR).

Right to log a com­plaint with the com­pet­ent su­per­vis­ory agency

In the event of vi­ol­a­tions of the GDPR, data sub­jects are en­titled to log a com­plaint with a su­per­vis­ory agency, in par­tic­u­lar in the mem­ber state where they usu­ally main­tain their dom­i­cile, place of work or at the place where the al­leged vi­ol­a­tion oc­curred. The right to log a com­plaint is in ef­fect re­gard­less of any other ad­min­is­trat­ive or court pro­ceed­ings avail­able as legal recourses.

Right to data portability

You have the right to de­mand that we hand over any data we auto­mat­ic­ally pro­cess on the basis of your con­sent or in order to ful­fil a con­tract be handed over to you or a third party in a com­monly used, ma­chine read­able format. If you should de­mand the dir­ect trans­fer of the data to an­other con­trol­ler, this will be done only if it is tech­nic­ally feasible.

SSL and/​or TLS encryption

For se­cur­ity reas­ons and to pro­tect the trans­mis­sion of con­fid­en­tial con­tent, such as pur­chase or­ders or in­quir­ies you sub­mit to us as the web­site op­er­ator, this web­site uses either an SSL or a TLS en­cryp­tion pro­gram. You can re­cog­nize an en­cryp­ted con­nec­tion by check­ing whether the ad­dress line of the browser switches from ‘http://’ to ‘https://’ and also by the ap­pear­ance of the lock icon in the browser line. If the SSL or TLS en­cryp­tion is ac­tiv­ated, data you trans­mit to us can­not be read by third parties.

In­form­a­tion about, rec­ti­fic­a­tion and erad­ic­a­tion of data

Within the scope of the ap­plic­able stat­utory pro­vi­sions, you have the right to at any time de­mand in­form­a­tion about your archived per­sonal data, their source and re­cip­i­ents as well as the pur­pose of the pro­cessing of your data. You may also have a right to have your data rec­ti­fied or erad­ic­ated. If you have ques­tions about this sub­ject mat­ter or any other ques­tions about per­sonal data, please do not hes­it­ate to con­tact us at any time at the ad­dress provided in sec­tion Legal No­tice.

Right to de­mand pro­cessing restrictions

You have the right to de­mand the im­pos­i­tion of re­stric­tions as far as the pro­cessing of your per­sonal data is con­cerned. To do so, you may con­tact us at any time at the ad­dress provided in sec­tion Legal No­tice. The right to de­mand re­stric­tion of pro­cessing ap­plies in the fol­low­ing cases:

  • In the event that you should dis­pute the cor­rect­ness of your data archived by us, we will usu­ally need some time to verify this claim. Dur­ing the time that this in­vest­ig­a­tion is on­go­ing, you have the right to de­mand that we re­strict the pro­cessing of your per­sonal data.
  • If the pro­cessing of your per­sonal data was/​is con­duc­ted in an un­law­ful man­ner, you have the op­tion to de­mand the re­stric­tion of the pro­cessing of your data in lieu of de­mand­ing the erad­ic­a­tion of this data.
  • If we do not need your per­sonal data any longer and you need it to ex­er­cise, de­fend or claim legal en­ti­tle­ments, you have the right to de­mand the re­stric­tion of the pro­cessing of your per­sonal data in­stead of its eradication.
  • If you have raised an ob­jec­tion pur­su­ant to Art. 21 Sect. 1 GDPR, your rights and our rights will have to be weighed against each other. As long as it has not been de­term­ined whose in­terests pre­vail, you have the right to de­mand a re­stric­tion of the pro­cessing of your per­sonal data.

If you have re­stric­ted the pro­cessing of your per­sonal data, these data – with the ex­cep­tion of their archiv­ing – may be pro­cessed only sub­ject to your con­sent or to claim, ex­er­cise or de­fend legal en­ti­tle­ments or to pro­tect the rights of other nat­ural per­sons or legal en­tit­ies or for im­port­ant pub­lic in­terest reas­ons cited by the European Union or the United King­dom or a mem­ber state of the EU.

Re­jec­tion of un­so­li­cited e‑mails

We here­with ob­ject to the use of con­tact in­form­a­tion pub­lished in con­junc­tion with the man­dat­ory in­form­a­tion to be provided in sec­tion Legal No­tice to send us pro­mo­tional and in­form­a­tion ma­ter­ial that we have not ex­pressly re­ques­ted. The op­er­at­ors of this web­site and its pages re­serve the ex­press right to take legal ac­tion in the event of the un­so­li­cited send­ing of pro­mo­tional in­form­a­tion, for in­stance via spam messages.

3. Re­cord­ing of data on this website

Cook­ies

Our web­sites and pages use what the in­dustry refers to as ‘cook­ies’. Cook­ies are small text files that do not cause any dam­age to your device. They are either stored tem­por­ar­ily for the dur­a­tion of a ses­sion (ses­sion cook­ies) or they are per­man­ently archived on your device (per­man­ent cook­ies). Ses­sion cook­ies are auto­mat­ic­ally de­leted once you ter­min­ate your visit. Per­man­ent cook­ies re­main archived on your device until you act­ively de­lete them or they are auto­mat­ic­ally erad­ic­ated by your web browser. In some cases, it is pos­sible that third-party cook­ies are stored on your device once you enter our site (third­party cook­ies). These cook­ies en­able you or us to take ad­vant­age of cer­tain ser­vices offered by the third party (e.g. cook­ies for the pro­cessing of pay­ment ser­vices). Cook­ies have a vari­ety of func­tions. Many cook­ies are tech­nic­ally es­sen­tial since cer­tain web­site func­tions would not work in the ab­sence of the cook­ies (e.g. the shop­ping cart func­tion or the dis­play of videos). The pur­pose of other cook­ies may be the ana­lysis of user pat­terns or the dis­play of pro­mo­tional mes­sages. Cook­ies, which are re­quired for the per­form­ance of elec­tronic com­mu­nic­a­tion trans­ac­tions (re­quired cook­ies) or for the pro­vi­sion of cer­tain func­tions you want to use (func­tional cook­ies, e.g. for the shop­ping cart func­tion) or those that are ne­ces­sary for the op­tim­iz­a­tion of the web­site (e.g. cook­ies that provide meas­ur­able in­sights into the web audi­ence), shall be stored on the basis of Art. 6 Sect. 1 lit. f GDPR, un­less a dif­fer­ent legal basis is cited. The op­er­ator of the web­site has a le­git­im­ate in­terest in the stor­age of cook­ies to en­sure the tech­nic­ally error free and op­tim­ized pro­vi­sion of the operator’s ser­vices. If your con­sent to the stor­age of the cook­ies has been re­ques­ted, the re­spect­ive cook­ies are stored ex­clus­ively on the basis of the con­sent ob­tained (Art. 6 Sect. 1 lit. a GDPR); this con­sent may be re­voked at any time. In the event that third-party cook­ies are used or if cook­ies are used for ana­lyt­ical pur­poses, we will sep­ar­ately no­tify you in con­junc­tion with this Data Pro­tec­tion Policy and, if ap­plic­able, ask for your consent.

Cookie con­sent with Bor­labs Cookie

Our web­site uses the Bor­labs cookie con­sent tech­no­logy to ob­tain your con­sent to the stor­age of cer­tain cook­ies in your browser and for their data pri­vacy pro­tec­tion com­pli­ant doc­u­ment­a­tion. The pro­vider of this tech­no­logy is Bor­labs – Ben­jamin A. Bornschein, Georg-Wil­helm-Str. 17, 21107 Ham­burg, Ger­many (here­in­after re­ferred to as Bor­labs). Whenever you visit our web­site, a Bor­labs cookie will be stored in your browser, which archives any de­clar­a­tions or re­voc­a­tions of con­sent you have entered. These data are not shared with the pro­vider of the Bor­labs tech­no­logy. The re­cor­ded data shall re­main archived until you ask us to erad­ic­ate them, de­lete the Bor­labs cookie on your own or the pur­pose of stor­ing the data no longer ex­ists. This shall be without pre­ju­dice to any re­ten­tion ob­lig­a­tions man­dated by law. To re­view the de­tails of Bor­labs’ data pro­cessing policies, please visit https://de.borlabs.io/kb/welche-daten-speichert-borlabs-cookie (in­form­a­tion in Ger­man). We use the Bor­labs cookie con­sent tech­no­logy to ob­tain the de­clar­a­tions of con­sent man­dated by law for the use of cook­ies. The legal basis for the use of such cook­ies is Art. 6 Sect. 1 Sen­tence 1 lit. c GDPR.

Server log files

The pro­vider of this web­site and its pages auto­mat­ic­ally col­lects and stores in­form­a­tion in so-called server log files, which your browser com­mu­nic­ates to us auto­mat­ic­ally. The in­form­a­tion comprises:

  • the type and ver­sion of browser used
  • the used op­er­at­ing system
  • Re­fer­rer URL
  • the host­name of the ac­cess­ing computer
  • the time of the server inquiry
  • the IP address

This data is not merged with other data sources. This data is re­cor­ded on the basis of Art. 6 Sect. 1 lit. f GDPR. The op­er­ator of the web­site has a le­git­im­ate in­terest in the tech­nic­ally error free de­pic­tion and the op­tim­iz­a­tion of the operator’s web­site. In order to achieve this, server log files must be recorded.

Con­tact form

If you sub­mit in­quir­ies to us via our con­tact form, the in­form­a­tion provided in the con­tact form as well as any con­tact in­form­a­tion provided therein will be stored by us in order to handle your in­quiry and in the event that we have fur­ther ques­tions. We will not share this in­form­a­tion without your con­sent. The pro­cessing of these data is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR, if your re­quest is re­lated to the ex­e­cu­tion of a con­tract or if it is ne­ces­sary to carry out pre-con­trac­tual meas­ures. In all other cases the pro­cessing is
based on our le­git­im­ate in­terest in the ef­fect­ive pro­cessing of the re­quests ad­dressed to us (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR) or on your agree­ment (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR) if this has been re­ques­ted. The in­form­a­tion you have entered into the con­tact form shall re­main with us until you ask us to erad­ic­ate the data, re­voke your con­sent to the archiv­ing of data or if the pur­pose for which the in­form­a­tion is being archived no longer ex­ists (e.g. after we have con­cluded our re­sponse to your in­quiry). This shall be without pre­ju­dice to any man­dat­ory legal pro­vi­sions – in par­tic­u­lar re­ten­tion periods.

Re­quest by e‑mail, tele­phone or fax

If you con­tact us by e‑mail, tele­phone or fax, your re­quest, in­clud­ing all res­ult­ing per­sonal data (name, re­quest) will be stored and pro­cessed by us for the pur­pose of pro­cessing your re­quest. We do not pass these data on without your con­sent. These data are pro­cessed on the basis of Art. 6 Sect. 1 lit. b GDPR if your in­quiry is re­lated to the ful­fill­ment of a con­tract or is re­quired for the per­form­ance of pre-con­trac­tual meas­ures. In all other cases, the data are pro­cessed on the basis of our le­git­im­ate in­terest in the ef­fect­ive hand­ling of in­quir­ies sub­mit­ted to us (Art. 6 Sect. 1 lit. f GDPR) or on the basis of your con­sent (Art. 6 Sect. 1 lit. a GDPR) if it has been ob­tained. The data sent by you to us via con­tact re­quests re­main with us until you re­quest us to de­lete, re­voke your con­sent to the stor­age or the pur­pose for the data stor­age lapses (e.g. after com­ple­tion of your re­quest). Man­dat­ory stat­utory pro­vi­sions – in par­tic­u­lar stat­utory re­ten­tion peri­ods – re­main unaffected.

4. So­cial media

So­cial media plug-ins with Shariff

We do use plug-ins of so­cial media net­works on this web­site and its pages (e.g. Face­book, Twit­ter and LinkedIn). As a rule, you will be able to re­cog­nize these plug-ins be­cause of the re­spect­ive so­cial media logos that ap­pear. To war­rant the pro­tec­tion of data on this web­site, we use these plug-ins only in com­bin­a­tion with the so-called ‘Shar­iff’ solu­tion. This ap­plic­a­tion pre­vents the plug-ins that have been in­teg­rated into this web­site from trans­fer­ring data to the re­spect­ive pro­vider as soon as you enter our web­site. A dir­ect con­nec­tion to the provider’s server shall not be es­tab­lished until you have ac­tiv­ated the re­spect­ive plug-in by click­ing on the af­fil­i­ated but­ton (which in­dic­ates your con­sent). As soon as you ac­tiv­ate the plug-in, the re­spect­ive pro­vider re­ceives the in­form­a­tion that you have vis­ited this web­site with your IP ad­dress. If you are sim­ul­tan­eously logged into your re­spect­ive so­cial media ac­count (e.g. Face­book), the re­spect­ive pro­vider will be able to al­loc­ate your visit to this web­site to your user ac­count. The ac­tiv­a­tion of the plug-in con­sti­tutes a de­clar­a­tion of con­sent as defined in Art. 6 Sect. 1 lit. a GDPR. You have the op­tion to re­voke this con­sent at any time, which shall af­fect all fu­ture transactions.

5. News­let­ter

News­let­ter data

If you would like to sub­scribe to the news­let­ter offered on this web­site, we will need from you an e‑mail ad­dress as well as in­form­a­tion that allow us to verify that you are the owner of the e‑mail ad­dress provided and con­sent to the re­ceipt of the news­let­ter. No fur­ther data shall be col­lec­ted or shall be col­lec­ted only on a vol­un­tary basis. We shall use such data only for the send­ing of the re­ques­ted in­form­a­tion and shall not share such data with any third parties. The pro­cessing of the in­form­a­tion entered into the news­let­ter sub­scrip­tion form shall occur ex­clus­ively on the basis of your con­sent (Art. 6 Sect. 1 lit. a GDPR). You may re­voke the con­sent you have given to the archiv­ing of data, the e‑mail ad­dress and the use of this in­form­a­tion for the send­ing of the news­let­ter at any time, for in­stance by click­ing on the ‘Un­sub­scribe’ link in the news­let­ter. This shall be without pre­ju­dice to the law­ful­ness of any data pro­cessing trans­ac­tions that have taken place to date. The data de­pos­ited with us for the pur­pose of sub­scrib­ing to the news­let­ter will be stored by us until you un­sub­scribe from the news­let­ter or the news­let­ter ser­vice pro­vider and de­leted from the news­let­ter dis­tri­bu­tion list after you un­sub­scribe from the news­let­ter. Data stored for other pur­poses with us re­main un­af­fected. After you un­sub­scribe from the news­let­ter dis­tri­bu­tion list, your e‑mail ad­dress may be stored by us or the news­let­ter ser­vice pro­vider in a black­list to pre­vent fu­ture mail­ings. The data from the black­list is used only for this pur­pose and not merged with other data. This serves both your in­terest and our in­terest in com­ply­ing with the legal re­quire­ments when send­ing news­let­ters (le­git­im­ate in­terest within the mean­ing of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR). The stor­age in the black­list is in­def­in­ite. You may ob­ject to the stor­age if your in­terests out­weigh our le­git­im­ate interest.

Klick-Tipp

This web­site uses Klick-Tipp for the send­ing of news­let­ter mes­sages. The pro­vider is KLICK-TIPP LIMITED, 15 Cam­bridge Court, 210 Shepherd’s Bush Road, Lon­don W6 7NJ, United King­dom. Klick-Tipp is a ser­vice that al­lows us, for in­stance, to or­gan­ize and ana­lyze the send­ing of news­let­ters. The data you have entered for the pur­pose of sub­scrib­ing to the news­let­ter, are stored on Klick-Tipp’s servers.

Data ana­lysis by Klick-Tipp

If we send news­let­ters with the as­sist­ance of the Klick-Tipp ser­vice, we can see whether a news­let­ter mes­sage has ac­tu­ally been opened and which links were clicked, if any. Klick-Tipp also al­lows us to di­vide our news­let­ter sub­scribers into dif­fer­ent cat­egor­ies (this is called ‘tag­ging’). For ex­ample, we can di­vide news­let­ter sub­scribers based on gender, per­sonal pref­er­ences (e.g. ve­get­ari­ans, car­ni­vores, etc.) or cus­tomer re­la­tion­ship (e.g. ex­ist­ing cus­tomer or po­ten­tial cus­tomer). As a res­ult, we are able to more ef­fect­ively cus­tom tailor our news­let­ters to the re­spect­ive tar­get groups. For more in­form­a­tion, please fol­low these links: https://www.klick-tipp.com and https://www.klick-tipp.com/handbuch (in­form­a­tion in Ger­man). If you do not want to per­mit an ana­lysis by Klick-Tipp, you must un­sub­scribe from the news­let­ter. We provide a link for you to do this in every news­let­ter mes­sage. Moreover, you can also un­sub­scribe from the news­let­ter right on the website.

Legal basis

The data is pro­cessed based on your con­sent (Art. 6 Sect. 1 lit. a GDPR). You may re­voke any con­sent you have given at any time by un­sub­scrib­ing from the news­let­ter. This shall be without pre­ju­dice to the law­ful­ness of any data pro­cessing trans­ac­tions that have taken place prior to your revocation.

Stor­age period

The data de­pos­ited with us for the pur­pose of sub­scrib­ing to the news­let­ter will be stored by us until you un­sub­scribe from the news­let­ter or the news­let­ter ser­vice pro­vider and de­leted from the news­let­ter dis­tri­bu­tion list after you un­sub­scribe from the news­let­ter. Data stored for other pur­poses with us re­main un­af­fected. After you un­sub­scribe from the news­let­ter dis­tri­bu­tion list, your e‑mail ad­dress may be stored by us or the news­let­ter ser­vice pro­vider in a black­list to pre­vent fu­ture mail­ings. The data from the black­list is used only for this pur­pose and not merged with other data. This serves both your in­terest and our in­terest in com­ply­ing
with the legal re­quire­ments when send­ing news­let­ters (le­git­im­ate in­terest within the mean­ing of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR). The stor­age in the black­list is in­def­in­ite. You may ob­ject to the stor­age if your in­terests out­weigh our le­git­im­ate in­terest. For more de­tails, please con­sult the Data Pro­tec­tion Reg­u­la­tions of Klick-Tipp at: https://www.klick-tipp.com/datenschutzerklaerung (in­form­a­tion in German).

Google Web Fonts

To en­sure that fonts used on this web­site are uni­form, this web­site uses so-called Web Fonts provided by Google. When you ac­cess a page on our web­site, your browser will load the re­quired web fonts into your browser cache to cor­rectly dis­play text and fonts. To do this, the browser you use will have to es­tab­lish a con­nec­tion with Google’s serv­ers. As a res­ult, Google will learn that your IP ad­dress was used to ac­cess this web­site. The use of Google Web Fonts is based on Art. 6 Sect. 1 lit. f GDPR. The web­site op­er­ator has a le­git­im­ate in­terest in a uni­form present­a­tion of the font on the operator’s web­site. If a re­spect­ive de­clar­a­tion of con­sent has been ob­tained (e.g. con­sent to the archiv­ing of cook­ies), the data will be pro­cessed ex­clus­ively on the basis of Art. 6 Sect. 1 lit. a GDPR. Any such con­sent may be re­voked at any time. If your browser should not sup­port Web Fonts, a stand­ard font in­stalled on your com­puter will be used. For more in­form­a­tion on Google Web Fonts, please fol­low this link: https://developers.google.com/fonts/faq and con­sult Google’s Data Pri­vacy De­clar­a­tion under: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en

Google Maps

This web­site uses the map­ping ser­vice Google Maps. The pro­vider is Google Ire­land Lim­ited (‘Google’), Gor­don House, Bar­row Street, Dub­lin 4, Ire­land. To en­able the use of the Google Maps fea­tures, your IP ad­dress must be stored. As a rule, this in­form­a­tion is trans­ferred to one of Google’s serv­ers in the United States, where it is archived. The op­er­ator of this web­site has no con­trol over the data trans­fer. We use Google Maps to present our on­line con­tent in an ap­peal­ing man­ner and to make the loc­a­tions dis­closed on our web­site easy to find. This con­sti­tutes a le­git­im­ate in­terest as defined in Art. 6 Sect. 1 lit. f GDPR. If a re­spect­ive de­clar­a­tion of con­sent has been ob­tained, the data shall be pro­cessed ex­clus­ively on the basis of Art. 6 Sect. 1 lit. a GDPR. This de­clar­a­tion of con­sent may be re­voked at any time. Data trans­mis­sion to the US is based on the Stand­ard Con­trac­tual Clauses (SCC) of the European Com­mis­sion.

VG Wort

The Col­lec­tion Man­age­ment Or­gan­isa­tion VG Wort (in­form­a­tion in Ger­man) ob­tains stat­ist­ical data by means of so-called counter mark­ers bur­ied in­side texts, so that con­trib­ut­ing au­thors of this web­site are able to claim roy­al­ties from sec­ond­ary ex­ploit­a­tion rights. In each case the counter con­sists of a minute in­vis­ible graphic, which is in turn stored on VG Wort’s server. This en­ables VG Wort to re­trieve the afore­men­tioned stat­ist­ical data from any­where on the in­ter­net where such count­ing pixel codes are in­stalled. This in­act­ive graphic does not in­ter­act with the per­sonal data of site vis­it­ors in any other way and does not fur­nish any in­di­vidual in­form­a­tion. VG Wort merely cre­ates a cookie in the user's browser to en­able this process.
