As the operator of this website and as a company, we come into contact with your personal data. This concerns all data that reveals something about you and by which you can be identified. In this privacy policy, we would like to explain how, for what purpose and on which legal basis we process your data.
Responsible for the data processing (“data controller”) on this website and in our company is:
Pink Crocodile UG
Karl-Marx-Allee 107

When you enter your data on websites, place online orders or send e-mails via the Internet, you must always be prepared for unauthorized third parties to access your data. There is no complete protection against such access. However, we do our utmost to protect your data as best we can and to close security gaps as far as we can.
An important protection mechanism is the SSL or TLS encryption of our website, which ensures that data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties. You can recognize the encryption by the lock icon in front of the Internet address entered in your browser and by the fact that our Internet address begins with https:// and not with http://.
In some parts in this privacy policy, we inform you about how long we or the companies that process your data on our behalf will store your data. In the absence of such information, we store your data until the purpose of the data processing no longer applies, you object to the data processing or you revoke your consent to the data processing.
In the event of an objection or revocation, we may however continue to process your data if at least one of the following conditions applies:
In this case, we will delete your data as soon as the requirement(s) cease to apply.
On our website, we use tools from companies that transfer your data to the USA and store it there and, if necessary, process it further. The European Commission has adopted an adequacy decision for the EU-US data protection framework. The decision establishes that the US ensures an adequate level of protection for EU personal data transferred to US companies. This decision is based on new safeguards and measures put in place by the US to meet data protection requirements. The adequacy decision includes, among other things, restrictions and safeguards on access to data by US intelligence agencies. Binding safeguards were introduced to limit US intelligence agencies' access to what is necessary and proportionate to protect national security. In addition, enhanced oversight of US intelligence activities was established to ensure that restrictions on surveillance activities are respected. An independent redress mechanism has also been established to handle and resolve complaints from European citizens about access to their data. The EU-US data protection framework thus allows European companies to transfer data to certified US companies without having to introduce additional data protection safeguards. A list of all certified companies can be found at the following link: https://www.dataprivacyframework.gov/s/participant-search.
A change in the European Commission's decision cannot be ruled out.
IF IT'S STATED IN THIS PRIVACY STATEMENT THAT WE HAVE LEGITIMATE INTERESTS FOR THE PROCESSING OF YOUR DATA AND THAT THIS PROCESSING IS THEREFORE BASED ON ART. 6 PARA. 1 SENTENCE 1 LIT. F) GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT IN ACCORDANCE WITH ART. 21 GDPR. THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING THAT IS CARRIED OUT ON THE BASIS OF THE AFOREMENTIONED PROVISION. THE PREREQUISITE IS THAT YOU STATE REASONS FOR THE OBJECTION THAT ARISE FROM YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION. NO REASONS ARE REQUIRED IF THE OBJECTION IS DIRECTED AGAINST THE USE OF YOUR DATA FOR DIRECT ADVERTISING.
THE CONSEQUENCE OF THE OBJECTION IS THAT WE MAY NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR DATA. THIS ONLY DOES NOT APPLY IF ONE OF THE FOLLOWING PREREQUISITS EXISTS:
THESE EXCEPTIONS DO NOT APPLY IF YOUR OBJECTION IS DIRECTED AGAINST THE USE OF YOUR DATA FOR DIRECT ADVERTISING OR TO PROFILING RELATED TO IT.
Many data processing operations are based on your consent. You can give this consent, for example, by ticking the appropriate box on online forms before you send the form, or by allowing the operation of certain cookies when you visit our website. You may revoke your consent at any time without giving reasons (Art. 7 (3) GDPR). From the time of revocation, we may then no longer process your data. The only exception: we are required by law to retain the data for a certain period of time. Such retention periods exist in particular in tax and commercial law.
If you believe that we are in breach of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), you have the right to complain to a supervisory authority in accordance with Art. 77 GDPR. You may contact a supervisory authority in the Member State of your residence, place of work or the place where the alleged infringement took place. The right to complain exists alongside administrative or judicial remedies.
We must hand over data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfillment of a contract to you or a third party in a common machine-readable format if you request this. We can only transfer the data to another “data controller” if this is technically possible.
According to Art. 15 GDPR, you have the right to receive information free of charge about which of your personal data we have stored, where the data came from, to whom we transmit the data and for what purpose it is stored. If the data is incorrect, you have a right to rectification (Art. 16 GDPR), and under the conditions of Art. 17 GDPR you may demand that we delete the data.
In certain situations, according to Art. 18 GDPR, you may demand that we restrict the processing of your data. The data may then - apart from storage - only be processed as follows:
The right to restrict processing exists in the following situations:
Our website is hosted on a server of the following Internet service provider (hoster):
Namecheap, Inc.
4600 East Washington Street
Phoenix, AZ 85034, USA
The hoster stores all the data from our website. This includes all personal data that is collected automatically or through entering. This can be in particular: Your IP address, pages accessed, names, contact details and requests, as well as meta and communication data. When processing data, our hoster adheres to our instructions and always processes the data only insofar as this is necessary to fulfill the service obligation to us.
Since we address potential customers via our website and maintain contacts with existing customers, the data processing by our hoster serves to initiate and fulfill contracts and is therefore based on Art. 6 (1) lit. b) GDPR. In addition, it is our legitimate interest as a company to provide a professional Internet offering that meets the necessary requirements for security, speed and efficiency. In this respect, we also process your data on the legal basis of Art. 6 (1) lit. f) GDPR.
Our website places cookies on your device. These are small text files that are used for various purposes. Some cookies are technically necessary for the website to function at all (necessary cookies). Others are needed to perform certain actions or functions on the site (functional cookies). For example, without cookies it would not be possible to take advantage of a shopping cart in an online store. Still other cookies are used to analyze user behavior or to optimize advertising measures. If we use third-party services on our website, for example to process payment transactions, these companies may also leave cookies on your device when you access the website (so-called third-party cookies).
Session cookies are only stored on your device for the duration of a session. As soon as you close the browser, they therefore disappear by themselves. Permanent cookies, on the other hand, remain on your device unless you delete them yourself. This can, for example, lead to your user behavior being permanently analyzed. You can use the settings in your browser to influence how it handles cookies:
If you disable or do not allow cookies, the functionality of the website may be limited.
If we use cookies from other companies or for analysis purposes, we will inform you about this as part of this privacy policy. We also request your consent in this regard when you access our website.
We have a legitimate interest in ensuring that our online offers can be used by visitors without technical problems and that all desired functions are available to them. The storage of necessary and functional cookies on your device therefore takes place on the legal basis of Art. 6 (1) lit. f) GDPR. We use all other cookies on the legal basis of Art. 6 (1) lit. a) GDPR, provided you give us your consent. You can revoke this at any time with effect for the future. If you have consented to the placement of necessary and functional cookies when requesting consent, these cookies will also be stored exclusively on the basis of your consent.

Legalcore AG, Reinhardtstr. 7, 10117 Berlin, Germany
Yes
https://cockpit.legal/datenschutz/
We use Legal Cockpit's consent management platform to obtain your consent to store cookies on your device in a data protection compliant manner. When you visit our website and close the Legal Cockpit cookie window requesting consent, the following data is transmitted to the company:
In addition, the Legal Cockpit stores a cookie in your browser in order to be able to assign the consent given or its revocation to your browser. All collected data is stored until the cookies are no longer needed, you delete the Legal Cockpit cookie or request us to delete the data. This does not apply only if we are required by law to retain the data.
We are legally obliged to obtain the consent of our website visitors for the use of certain cookies. In order to fulfill this obligation, we use Legal Cockpit. The legal basis for data processing is therefore Art. 6 (1) lit. c) GDPR.
Server log files log all requests and accesses to our website and record error messages. They also include personal data, in particular your IP address. However, this is anonymized by the provider after a short time, so that we cannot assign the data to your person. The data is automatically transmitted to our provider by your browser.
Our provider stores the server log files in order to be able to track the activities on our website and to locate errors. The files contain the following data:
We do not combine this data with other data but use it only for statistical analysis and to improve our website.
We have a legitimate interest in ensuring that our website runs without errors. It is also our legitimate interest to obtain an anonymized overview of the accesses to our website. Therefore, the data processing is lawful according to Art. 6 (1) lit. f) GDPR.
You can send us a message via the contact form on this website.
We store your message and the information from the form in order to process your request including follow-up questions. This also applies to the contact details provided. We do not pass on the data to other persons without your consent.
We delete your data as soon as one of the following occurs:
This does not apply only if we are required by law to retain the data.
If your request is related to our contractual relationship or serves the implementation of pre-contractual measures, we process your data on the legal basis of Art. 6 (1) lit. b) GDPR. In all other cases, it is our legitimate interest to effectively process requests directed to us. The legal basis for data processing is therefore Art. 6 (1) lit. f) GDPR. If you have consented to the storage of your data, Art. 6 (1) lit. a) GDPR is the legal basis. In this case, you can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future.
You can send us a message by e-mail or fax or call us.
We store your message as well as your self-made contact details or the transmitted telephone number in order to be able to process your inquiry including follow-up questions. We do not pass on the data to other persons without your consent.
We delete your data as soon as one of the following occurs:
This does not apply only if we are required by law to retain the data.

Data protection compliant use
We use social media plugins on our website. You can recognize these by the logos of the social networks. Thanks to the plugins, you can easily share the content on our website on social networks. The list at the end of this section shows which plugins we use in detail. Here you will also find the networks' information relevant to data protection.
How do we process your data?
Normally, the plugins function in such a way that just visiting the website on which they are embedded is sufficient to establish a connection to the servers of the social networks. In this way, the offering companies learn that the website in question was visited via your IP address. Except for Xing, all networks store the IP address. Further personal data may be added. In this case, your data is usually transferred to servers in the USA. If this is the case, you can find out the basis on which this happens in each case from the information on the networks given below.
To better protect your personal data, we only use social media buttons that comply with data protection regulations. They replace the usual social network buttons with buttons that only communicate with the servers of the social networks when you click on them. However, you can still easily share information with others.
Even when using the privacy-compliant social media buttons, your browsing behavior can be associated with your personal profile on a social network if you are logged into your account there when you click on the button. If you do not want this, you must log out of your account before you continue surfing the Internet.
On what legal basis do we process your data?
By activating the button, you give your consent for a link to be established to the social network concerned, for your IP address and possibly other data to be transmitted and for your surfing behavior to be tracked by the social media company. Thus, the data processing is lawful according to Art. 6 (1) lit. a) GDPR. You can revoke your consent at any time. From the time of revocation, we may no longer process your data.

Yes
https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245?hl=en
On the basis of the European Commission's adequacy decision and the company's corresponding certification.
Among other things, with a browser plugin: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en
We are always interested in optimizing our web offer for visitors to our website and placing advertisements in the best possible way. We are helped in this by Google Analytics, a tool that analyzes the behavior of users and thus provides us with the necessary database for adjustments. Through the tool, we receive information about the origin of our visitors, their page views and the time they spend on the pages, as well as the operating system they use.
To collect the data, Google Analytics uses cookies, device fingerprinting or other user recognition technologies. The data is transmitted to Google servers in the USA and, with the help of the IP address that is also collected, summarized in a profile that can be assigned to you or your device.
You can prevent Google from processing your data by installing a browser plugin that Google itself provides: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de.
According to its own information, Google deletes or anonymizes data stored at user and event level that is linked to cookies, user identifiers (e.g. user IDs) or advertising IDs after 26 months (cf. https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/7667196?hl=de).
As a website operator, we have a legitimate interest in analyzing user behavior for the purpose of optimizing our website and the advertising placed there. The data processing is therefore lawful according to Art. 6 (1) lit. f) GDPR. In the event that you have consented, for example, to the storage of cookies or have otherwise consented to data processing by Google Analytics, only Art. 6 (1) lit. a) GDPR is the legal basis. You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future.

We are always interested in optimizing our web offer for users and placing advertisements in the best possible way. WordPress Stats helps us to do this. The tool records how many people visit our website and how they behave, from which website they come to our website, at which location they are and which browser and operating system versions they use. For this purpose, WordPress Stats uses cookies, device fingerprinting and other technologies to recognize users. Specifically, the following data is stored:
Storage location is servers in the USA. Your IP address is anonymized after processing and before storage.
As a website operator, we have a legitimate interest in the anonymized analysis of user behavior for the purpose of optimizing our website and the advertising placed there. The data processing is therefore lawful according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. In the event that you have, for example, consented to the storage of cookies or otherwise consented to data processing by WordPress Stats, only Art. 6 (1) lit. a) GDPR is the legal basis. You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future.

Online advertising program of Google Ireland Ltd.
Google Ireland Ltd, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.
Yes
https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en&gl=en
On the basis of the European Commission's adequacy decision and the company's corresponding certification.
We use Google Ads. Google's advertising program enables us to play advertisements in the Google search engine or on third-party websites when visitors to our website enter certain search terms on Google (keyword targeting). Furthermore, we can place targeted advertisements based on the user data available at Google (e.g. location data and interests) (target group targeting). We evaluate the collected data quantitatively by analyzing, for example, which search terms led to the playout of our ads and how many ads resulted in corresponding clicks.
As a website operator, we have a legitimate interest in the placement and evaluation of advertisements. The data processing is therefore lawful according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) DSGVO. In the event that you have consented, for example, to the storage of cookies or have otherwise consented to data processing by Google, only Art. 6 (1) a) DSGVO is the legal basis. You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future.
Tool for personalized advertising of Google Ireland Ltd.

On the basis of the European Commission's adequacy decision and the company's corresponding certification.
By objecting to personalized advertising in your Google account or on this page: https://www.google.com/settings/ads/onweb/
We are always interested in placing our advertising in the best possible way. The remarketing function of Google Analytics helps us to do this.
Remarketing means that we analyze your behavior on our website in order to assign you to a specific advertising target group and subsequently display suitable advertising messages to you when you visit other websites. In addition, we link the advertising target groups with cross-device functions of Google. This allows us to display interest-based, personalized advertising messages that have been customized to you based on your usage and browsing behavior on one device (e.g., your cell phone) on another device (e.g., a tablet or PC).
When creating advertising target groups, we also use the customer matching function. In this process, we transfer certain customer data (e.g. email addresses) from our customer lists to Google. If the customers in question are Google users and logged into their Google account, they are subsequently shown suitable advertising messages within the Google network (e.g. on YouTube, Gmail or in the search engine).
You can adjust the advertising settings in your Google account. To do so, click on the following link and log in: https://adssettings.google.com/authenticated. Outside of your Google account, you can object to personalized advertising using the following link: https://www.google.com/settings/ads/onweb/ (the setting then only applies to the device and browser currently being used).
As a website operator, we have a legitimate interest in the effective marketing of our services and products. The data processing is therefore lawful according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. In the event that you have consented, for example, to the storage of cookies or otherwise consented to data processing by Google Analytics Remarketing, only Art. 6 (1) lit. a) GDPR is the legal basis. You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future.
Tool for analyzing user behavior that measures the effectiveness of advertising on Facebook.

Yes
https://de-de.facebook.com/about/privacy/
On the basis of the European Commission's adequacy decision and the company's corresponding certification.
If you have a Facebook account: Deactivate the "Custom Audiences" remarketing function in the Ad Settings section (https://www.facebook.com/ads/preferences/?entry_product=ad_settings_screen).
If you do not have a Facebook account: Disable usage-based advertising from Facebook on the European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance website: http://www.youronlinechoices.com/de/praferenzmanagement/.
We use the META Pixel on our website. The analytics tool helps us learn more about the behavior of visitors to our website after they click on one of our ads on Facebook. This allows us to measure how effective our Facebook ads are and align future advertising efforts with the insights we gain. The data that Facebook collects via the pixel is anonymous to us as the operator of this website. So we cannot identify you as a visitor. However, the data is stored and processed by Facebook. Thus, Facebook establishes a connection to your Facebook account via the pixel and, in addition, uses the data to place advertisements itself within and outside the network (cf. Facebook Data Use Policy). In the course of storage and processing, Facebook also transmits the data to the USA and other third countries.
If you have a Facebook account, you can deactivate the "Custom Audiences" remarketing function in this account in the Advertising Settings section at https://www.facebook.com/ads/preferences/?entry_product=ad_settings_screen.
If you do not have a Facebook account, it is possible to deactivate usage-based advertising from Facebook on the website of the European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance: http://www.youronlinechoices.com/de/praferenzmanagement/.
As a website operator, we have a legitimate interest in effective advertising measures on social networks. The data processing is therefore lawful according to Art. 6 (1) lit. f) GDPR. In the event that you have consented, for example, to the storage of cookies or have otherwise consented to data processing by Facebook, only Art. 6 (1) lit. a) GDPR is the legal basis. You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future.

LinkedIn Insight Tag adheres to the European Commission's standard contractual clauses (see https://www.linkedin.com/legal/l/dpa and https://www.linkedin.com/legal/l/eu-sccs).
By objecting to the analysis of your user behavior as well as targeted advertising by LinkedIn at the following link: https://www.linkedin.com/psettings/guest-controls/retargeting-opt-out. If you have a LinkedIn account, you can also make settings there regarding the use of your personal data for advertising purposes.
We use the LinkedIn Insight Tag on our website. The analysis tool helps us to learn more about the visitors to our website and to adapt our online offer accordingly. If our visitors are registered with LinkedIn, we can use the tool to analyze their key professional data such as career level, company size, country, location, industry and job title, among other things. In addition, it can be measured whether they buy something or take some other action (conversion measurement). This data is determined across devices. Finally, LinkedIn Insight Tag offers a retargeting function that allows us to display targeted advertising to our visitors outside of our website. LinkedIn assures that individual advertising addressees cannot be identified in the process.
In addition to the aforementioned data, the analytics tool collects the following data from you when you visit our website: URL, referrer URL, IP address, device and browser properties, and the time of access. The IP addresses are shortened or pseudonymized. The latter is done if you as a LinkedIn member are to be reached across devices.
The data collected by LinkedIn is anonymous for us as website operators. We can therefore not identify you as a visitor. LinkedIn will, however, store your personal data on its servers in the USA and use it as part of its own advertising measures.
You can prevent LinkedIn from linking the data collected on our website with your LinkedIn account by logging out of your account before you continue surfing the Internet. You can also prevent the use of your data for advertising purposes via corresponding settings in your account.
If you do not have a LinkedIn account, you can object to the analysis of your usage behavior as well as targeted advertising by LinkedIn at the following link: https://www.linkedin.com/psettings/guest-controls/retargeting-opt-out.
LinkedIn deletes the direct identifiers of LinkedIn members after 7 days. The remaining pseudonymized data is deleted within 180 days.
As a website operator, we have a legitimate interest in optimizing our online offering and our advertising measures. The data processing is therefore lawful according to Art. 6 (1) lit. f) GDPR. In the event that you have, for example, consented to the storage of cookies or otherwise consented to data processing, the legal basis is exclusively Art. 6 (1) lit. a) GDPR. You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future.
Online advertising program of Google Ireland Ltd.
Google Ireland Ltd, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland
Yes
https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de&gl=de
On the basis of the European Commission's adequacy decision and the company's corresponding certification.
We use Google Ads Rermarkeintg. Remarketing is an online marketing feature that displays ads to users who have already interacted with a website or online store. Google Remarketing uses data from the Google Ads platform and Google Ads tracking to target advertising campaigns to those users who have already shown interest in a particular product or service. Google's advertising program enables us to display advertisements in the Google search engine or on third-party websites when visitors to our website enter certain search terms on Google (keyword targeting). Furthermore, we can place targeted advertisements based on the user data available at Google (e.g. location data and interests) (target group targeting). We evaluate the collected data quantitatively by analyzing, for example, which search terms led to the playout of our ads and how many ads resulted in corresponding clicks.
You can adjust the advertising settings in your Google account. To do this, click on the following link and log in: https://www.google.com/settings/ads/onweb/
As a website operator, we have a legitimate interest in the anonymized analysis of user behavior for the purpose of optimizing our website and the advertising placed there. The data processing is therefore lawful according to Art. 6 (1) lit. f) GDPR. In the event that you have, for example, consented to the storage of cookies or otherwise consented to data processing by Google, the legal basis is exclusively Art. 6 (1) lit. a) GDPR. You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future.
User behavior analysis tool that measures the effectiveness of advertising on TikTok.
TikTok Technology Limited, 10 Earlsfort Terrace, Dublin, D02 T380, Ireland
Yes
https://www.tiktok.com/legal/page/eea/privacy-policy/de-DE
TikTok adheres to the standard contractual clauses of the European Commission (see https://www.tiktok.com/legal/page/eea/privacy-policy/de-DE).
Information on this can be found on the following pages:
https://www.tiktok.com/legal/tiktok-website-cookies-policy?lang=de
We use the TikTok Pixel on our website. The analysis tool helps us to learn more about the behavior of visitors on our account and our website. This tool allows us to measure how effective our advertising measures are and to align future advertising measures with the insights we have gained. On the one hand, we can designate you as a visitor to our online offer as a target group for the display of advertisements (so-called "TikTok Ads"). Accordingly, we use the TikTok pixel to display the TikTok ads placed by us only to those TikTok users who have also shown an interest in our online offer or who exhibit certain characteristics (e.g. interests in certain topics or products determined on the basis of the websites visited), which we transmit to TikTok (so-called "Custom Audiences"). With the help of the TikTok pixel, we therefore want to ensure that our TikTok ads correspond exclusively to the interests of the users. On the other hand, with the help of the TikTok pixel, we can also track whether users were really redirected to our website after clicking on a TikTok ad (so-called "conversion").
As a website operator, we have a legitimate interest in effective advertising measures on social networks. The data processing is therefore lawful according to Art. 6 (1) lit. f) GDPR. In the event that you have consented, for example, to the storage of cookies or have otherwise consented to data processing by TikTok, only Art. 6 (1) lit. a) GDPR is the legal basis. You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future.
User behavior analysis tool that measures the effectiveness of advertising on Facebook
Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd, 4 Grand Canal Square, Dublin 2, Ireland
Yes
https://de-de.facebook.com/about/privacy/
On the basis of the European Commission's adequacy decision and the company's corresponding certification.
If you have a Facebook account: Disable usage-based advertising in the Ads Settings section (https://www.facebook.com/ads/preferences/?entry_product=ad_settings_screen).
If you do not have a Facebook account: Disable usage-based advertising from Facebook on the European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance website: http://www.youronlinechoices.com/de/praferenzmanagement/.
We use the Facebook Conversion API on our website. The analytics tool helps us learn more about the behavior of visitors to our website after they click on one of our ads on Facebook. This allows us to measure how effective our Facebook ads are and align future advertising efforts with the insights we gain. The Facebook Conversion API processes personal data such as user IDs, cookies, device IDs, and other identifying information collected by Facebook and third-party vendors. Using this data allows us to better understand our audience and create targeted advertising campaigns. However, the data is also stored and processed by Facebook. Thus, Facebook establishes a connection to your Facebook account and, in addition, uses the data to serve advertisements itself within and outside the network (see Facebook Data Use Policy). During storage and processing, Facebook also transmits the data to the USA and other third countries.
If you have a Facebook account: Disable usage-based advertising in the Ads Settings section (https://www.facebook.com/ads/preferences/?entry_product=ad_settings_screen).
If you do not have a Facebook account, you have the option to disable usage-based advertising from Facebook on the European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance website: http://www.youronlinechoices.com/de/praferenzmanagement/.

We use Facebook Custom Audiences on our website. Facebook Custom Audiences is an audience targeting tool within the Facebook Ads Manager. It allows businesses to define their own target audience based on information they have about their customers or potential customers, such as email addresses, phone numbers, Facebook IDs or device IDs. Using Facebook Custom Audiences allows us to create more targeted and relevant advertising campaigns by targeting an audience we already know. Using this data allows us to better understand our audience and create targeted ad campaigns. However, the data is also stored and processed by Facebook. Thus, Facebook establishes a connection to your Facebook account and, in addition, uses the data to place advertisements itself within and outside the network (cf. Facebook Data Use Policy). During storage and processing, Facebook also transmits the data to the USA and other third countries.

Service for sending newsletters and analyzing recipient behavior.
Rocket Science Group LLC, 675 Ponce De Leon Ave NE, Suite 5000, Atlanta, GA 30308, USA.
Yes
https://mailchimp.com/legal/privacy und https://mailchimp.com/de/gdpr/
Mailchimp has so-called standard contractual clauses that permit data transfer to the USA: https://mailchimp.com/legal/data-processing-addendum/#9._Jurisdiction-Specific_Terms
We use Mailchimp for our newsletter mailing. The service manages the data of newsletter subscribers for us, sends our newsletter and analyzes our newsletter campaigns.
If you would like to receive our newsletter, we need your email address. We will also use a confirmation email (double opt-in procedure) to check whether you are really the owner of this email address. We do not collect any further data or only on a voluntary basis. We use your data exclusively for sending the newsletter. They are stored on a Mailchimp server in the USA.
If we send a newsletter via Mailchimp and you open it, a file contained in the newsletter automatically connects to Mailchimp's servers. In this way, the service learns that the newsletter has been opened and registers all clicks on the links it contains. In addition, Mailchimp collects technical information, such as the time of the retrieval, the IP address, browser type and operating system.
You can unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time.
After you have unsubscribed, the data is deleted from the newsletter distribution list. In some circumstances, we blacklist your e-mail address at the same time; this is necessary, for example, if we have received an objection to advertising from you. In this case, the legal basis for the storage is Art. 6 (1) lit. f) GDPR.
Otherwise, we reserve the right to delete the data at any time after the purpose for which it was collected has ceased to exist or at our own discretion.
By entering your data in the subscriber list, you consent to data processing by Mailchimp. This is therefore carried out lawfully on the basis of Art. 6 (1) lit. a) GDPR. You can revoke your consent by unsubscribing from the newsletter or by sending us an informal message. For us, this means that we may no longer send you newsletters from this point on.
Video plattform
Google Ireland Ltd, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland
You can watch YouTube videos on our website. In doing so, Google, as the provider of YouTube, collects and stores certain information about you. However, since we use YouTube in extended data protection mode, this only happens when you start a video. Specifically, the following happens in this case:
Even if you do not start a YouTube video on our website, Google establishes a connection to its DoubleClick network and possibly also to other partners. The extended data protection mode therefore does not mean that Google does not process any data from you at all when you visit our website.
By integrating YouTube videos, we want to make our website and our services and offers more appealing. This is our legitimate interest as a company and therefore lawful according to Art. 6 (1) lit. f) GDPR.
If you have consented to data processing, we process your data exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 (1) lit. a) GDPR. You may revoke your consent at any time. From the time of revocation, we may no longer process your data.
Video platform
Vimeo Inc, 330 West 34th Street, 5th Floor, New York, New York 10001, USA
On the basis of standard contractual clauses of the European Commission and legitimate business interests (see https://vimeo.com/privacy#international_data_transfers_and_certain_user_rights).
On our website, you can watch Vimeo videos. As soon as you call up a page in which we have embedded a Vimeo video, this is communicated to the servers of Vimeo. In the process, Vimeo also learns your IP address. However, since we have made appropriate settings in the Vimeo plugin, Vimeo will neither leave cookies on your device nor track your browsing behavior.
By integrating Vimeo videos, we want to make our website more appealing. This is our legitimate interest as a company and therefore lawful according to Art. 6 (1) lit. f) GDPR.
If you have consented to data processing, we process your data exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 (1) lit. a) GDPR. You may revoke your consent at any time. From the time of revocation, we may no longer process your data.
We use fonts from the US company Google on our website. We have installed the fonts locally, so there is no connection to Google's servers when you visit our website.
For more information about Google Fonts, please visit https://developers.google.com/fonts/faq and read Google's privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de.
Website management system
GoDaddy.com WP Europe, Trg republike 5, 11000 Belgrade, Serbia
Yes
With ManageWP, we can monitor the security and performance of our website and initiate automatic backups, among other things. ManageWP thus has access to all website content, including our databases. ManageWP is hosted on the provider's servers.
As a website operator, we have a legitimate interest in operating our website effectively. The data processing is therefore lawful according to Art. 6 (1) lit. f) GDPR.
In the event that you have consented to data processing, only Art. 6 (1) lit. a) GDPR is the legal basis. You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future. From the time of revocation, we may no longer process your data.

Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.
https://policies.google.com/privacy

We have a legitimate interest in offering a reliable upload area on our website. Therefore, the processing of your data is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. If you have consented to data processing, we process your data exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 (1) lit. a) GDPR. You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future.
Cloud storage provider
Dropbox Ireland Ltd. 1st Floor Stephen Little Building South County Business Park
Yes
https://www.dropbox.com/privacy
Dropbox adheres to the standard contractual clauses of the European Commission (https://www.dropbox.com/privacy)
On our website you can upload files. For this purpose, we use the cloud storage provided by Dropbox. According to Dropbox's own information, stored files are not evaluated, but only used for the functionality of the service. Dropbox points out that all available metadata can be analyzed and processed to improve the user experience. A transfer and processing of data on servers of the US company Dropbox Inc. cannot be excluded by us.
We have a legitimate interest in offering a reliable upload area on our website. The data processing is therefore lawful according to Art. 6 (1) lit. f) GDPR.

Project management tool
Asana, Inc., 633 Folsom Street San Francisco, CA, USA
Yes
https://asana.com/de/terms/privacy-statement
On the basis of the European Commission's adequacy decision and the company's corresponding certification.
We use the services of Asana on our website. Asana is a project management tool that enables the flexible organisation of tasks, team collaboration and the integration of notes, documents and calendar functions in a central platform. When you visit our website, your device establishes a connection to Asana´s servers. Asana collects personal data in the process.
As a website operator, we have a legitimate interest in operating our website effectively. The data processing is therefore lawful according to Art. 6 (1) lit. f) GDPR. In the event that you have consented to data processing, only Art. 6 (1) lit. a) GDPR is the legal basis. You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future. From the time of revocation, we may no longer process your data.
By social media, we mean the social networks on which we have created publicly accessible profiles. You can read below which social networks these are specifically.
The respective operating companies of the social networks. You can find the individual operators below under the respective networks.
The operators of social networks are generally able to collect and evaluate comprehensive data about the behavior of visitors and users of the network. It is not possible for us to track all processing operations on the social networks we use, which is why further processing operations not listed here may be carried out by the operators of the social networks. You can find more information on this in the terms of use and privacy statements of the respective social networks.
The processing of your data can be triggered by you visiting the website of the social network or our profile page there. Even if you visit a website that uses certain content of the network, e.g. like or share buttons, data may already be transmitted to the operators of the social network. If you yourself are a user of the social network and logged into your user account, your visit to our profile page can be assigned to your account by the operator of the social network. Even if you yourself have not registered a user account or are not logged in, the operator of the network may still collect your personal data, e.g. by recording your IP address or setting cookies. With this data, the operators can create user profiles adapted to your behavior and interests and show you interest-based advertising inside and outside the network. If you are a registered user of the network, the interest-based advertising may also be displayed on all devices on which you are or were logged in.
Our profiles in the social networks are intended to ensure the broadest possible presence of our company on the Internet. As a company, we have a legitimate interest in this. The data processing is therefore lawful according to Art. 6 (1) lit. f) GDPR.
The data processing operations and analyses carried out by the operators of the social networks themselves may be based on other legal grounds. These must be stated by the operators of the social networks.
If you visit one of our profiles on the social networks, we are jointly responsible with the operator of the respective network for the data processing operations triggered during this visit. In principle, you can assert your rights both against us and against the operator of the respective network.
Despite the joint responsibility with the operators of the social networks, however, our influence on the data processing operations of the respective operator is limited and is primarily based on the operator's specifications.
If we collect data via our profiles in the social networks, these are deleted from our systems as soon as the purpose for storing them no longer applies, you request us to delete them or you revoke your consent to storage. Stored cookies remain on your terminal device until you delete them. Mandatory legal provisions - in particular retention periods - remain unaffected.
We have no influence on how long the operators of the social networks store your data, which the operators collect for their own purposes. You can obtain information on this directly from the operator of the respective social network, e.g. in the respective privacy policy.
