Your Rights

You have the following statutory rights against us relating to your personal data:

  6. Right to object
    As the data subject, you have the right to raise objection against the processing of certain of your personal data at any time for reasons resulting from your situation.

    You may withdraw a consent to the processing of your personal data with effect in the future at any time. The legality of the processing made until such withdrawal, however, is not affected by the foregoing.

Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics to analyse and improve the use of our website.

Google Analytics is a web analysis service of Google Inc. (“Google”). Google Analytics uses what is known as “cookies”, i.e. text files that are stored on your computer to allow an analysis of your use of the website. As a rule, the information on your use of the website generated by the cookie is transmitted to and stored on a server of Google in the USA. In the event of activation of the IP-anonymization on this website, however, your IP address will be truncated previously in member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases, the full IP address is transferred to a server of Google in the USA and is truncated there. On the instruction of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website in order to prepare reports on the website activities and to provide other services for the website operator relating to website use and internet use.

The IP address transmitted by your browser in the context of Google Analytics will not be combined with other data of Google.

You can prevent the storing of the cookies by an appropriate setting of your browser software; please note, however, that in this case you might not be able to use the full range of all functions of this website. Moreover, you can prevent the collection of the data (incl. your IP address) generated by the cookie and relating to your use of the website for Google as well as the processing of such data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at the following link: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en

We use Google Analytics with the extension “anonymizeIp()”. This is to truncate the IP addresses (so-called IP-masking). Thus, a connection to specific persons can be ruled out.

Google takes part in the EU-US Privacy Shield, https://www.privacyshield.gov/EU-US-Framework. Accordingly, there is a reasonable data privacy level also in the exceptional cases in which Google transfers personal data to the USA.

The legal basis for the processing of data using Google Analytics is Art. 6(1) sentence 1(f) GDPR.

Browser cookies

These are small text files or simple entries in a database that your browser stores. The data in the cookies can only be read again by the system that wrote them. To identify end devices during advertising delivery, the cookies set by the ad servers contain a pseudonymous, unique serial number (identifier). When a cookie is deleted, the identifier on the terminal device is also irrevocably deleted. The cookies used by the systems do not cause any damage to your end device (e.g. computer / tablet), in particular, they do not contain viruses. You may refuse the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser, which may prevent you from using the full functionality of the platform or the website you are visiting. The same applies to the deletion of stored cookies.

Marketo Munchkin Cookie

a) Type and scope of data processing         

On our website we use a service of the company Marketo EMEA Ltd. (hereinafter "Marketo"), for the purpose of collecting statistical information about user behaviour on our website. In this way we want to align and optimise our range of services accordingly. In addition, Marketo provides case studies, publications, market studies and similar materials as well as optimised e-mail marketing.

We store one or more cookies on your end device, with the help of which we collect information for marketing and optimisation purposes, which in turn is stored and processed on the Marketo servers. The collected information can be combined with further details, which you voluntarily leave on our website, to create a profile.

Your personal data may be stored and processed in any country in which Marketo has operations or in which service providers are contracted. To this end, Marketo ensures that personal data transferred outside the EEA is subject to adequate protection, namely the standard contractual clauses of the European Commission. When transferring personal data from the EEA and Switzerland to the USA, Marketo complies with the EU-US Data Protection Privacy Shield and the Swiss-US Privacy Shield Framework.

b) Purpose and legal basis

Marketo serves to analyse the usage behaviour of our website. The legal basis is your consent in accordance with Art. 6 par. 1 lit. a) GDPR.

c) Storage period      

The stored data is deleted by us as soon as it is no longer required for our recording purposes mentioned above.

d) Right of objection

The collected data can be merged with the personal data that you have voluntarily provided on the website to create a profile. You can contradict the profile formation by deactivating the cookie function in your browser.

In addition, you may object receiving marketing communications from Marketo or its affiliates by following the unsubscribe link in an email, by unsubscribing via the Marketo Subscription Center at pages2.marketo.com/emailsubscription, or by sending an email to privacyofficer@marketo.com or by post to: Marketo Data Protection Officer, Level 2, Red Oak North, South County Business Park, Leopardstown, Dublin 18 Ireland. If you choose not to receive marketing-related emails, you may still receive important administrative messages.

Mobile identifier

Advertising can also be delivered in mobile applications (apps) via the platform. The apps can also use a so-called mobile identifier, which is provided by the operating system of your mobile device (Apple iOS or Google Android). This identifier is used in the same way as a cookie that contains a pseudonymous serial number.

The systems of the advertising service providers cannot change or delete the identifier themselves. However, you can prevent the identifier from being used by making the appropriate adjustments in the settings in the app or in your operating system; in this case, you may no longer be able to use all the functions of the app or system. The same also applies, depending on the app and the operating system, for changes or deletions of the identifier. Please refer to the privacy policy of the respective app and your system for details.

Campaign delivery on advertising-bearing websites

Control and measurement of the number of ads in absolute terms and per device (web browser or mobile app), control of the sequence of individual ads that are displayed on a device. Measurement of reactions to advertising media (clicks on or mouse movements via advertising media). Measurement on which single page of an advertising marketer an advertisement is displayed. Measurement whether an advertisement has been loaded visibly on the screen of a terminal device. Pseudonymous browser cookies or mobile identifiers are used to identify the end devices.

Display of user-based online advertising (so-called targeting)

The service providers collect and process your usage behavior on our behalf pseudonymously on websites of advertising customers and on advertising-bearing websites. These data are used to address end devices with targeted advertising according to your usage behavior. The pseudonymous identifiers can also be assigned to advertising categories (e.g. presumed age between 18 and 35 years or interest in cars). However, these categories always apply to a larger group of devices, both individually and together. This means that we or the service providers cannot identify you as a user or as a person either via the advertising ID or via the categories assigned to the ID.

Campaign effect tracking on the websites of advertising customers

Tracking relates contacts that users have with advertisements on other websites (visual contacts and clicks on advertising banners) to subsequent interactions on the advertiser’s websites. The data collected is statistically evaluated to optimize the performance of the media campaigns.

The following service providers are used by the above-mentioned agencies of the Serviceplan Group for the delivery, management and measurement of online campaigns:
