11.1 Google Tag Manager

Use of Google Tag Manager: Google Tag Manager is a solution that allows marketers to manage website tags through one interface. The Tag Manager tool itself (which implements the tags) is a cookieless domain and does not collect personal data. The tool ensures the triggering of other tags, which in turn may collect data under certain circumstances. Google Tag Manager does not access this data. If deactivation has been carried out at the domain or cookie level, this remains in effect for all tracking tags implemented with Google Tag Manager. http://www.google.de/tagmanager/use-policy.html

12.1 Social Plugins from Facebook

We use social plugins from facebook.com, operated by Facebook Inc., 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, California 94025, USA. The plugins can be recognized by the Facebook logo or the addition "Facebook Social Plugin." For example, if you click the "Like" button or leave a comment, the corresponding information is transmitted directly from your browser to Facebook and stored there. Furthermore, Facebook makes your preferences public to your Facebook friends. If you are logged in to Facebook, Facebook can directly assign the call to our Facebook page to your Facebook account. Even if you are not logged in or do not have a Facebook account, your browser transmits information (e.g., which website you accessed, your IP address) that is stored by Facebook. We point out that we, as providers of this website, have no knowledge of the content of the transmitted data or its use by Facebook.

Details about how Facebook handles your personal data and the related rights can be found in Facebook's privacy policy: http://www.facebook.com/policy.php.

This site uses SSL encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as inquiries that you send to us as the site operator. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from "http://" to "https://" and by the lock symbol in your browser line.

When SSL encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

We implement technical and organizational security measures to protect your stored data against accidental or intentional manipulation, loss, destruction, or against access by unauthorized persons. Data transfers between service providers are carried out using the SSL (Secure Socket Layer) process. This software encrypts all information transmitted by visitors to us in this case.

All data is stored on the server of this website or on the servers of our hosting service provider, with contracts for commissioned processing according to § 28 GDPR secured with appropriate verification.
