The European Commission has not issued an adequacy decision for the USA. Our cooperation is based on standard contractual clauses for data protection issued by the European Commission. Unless otherwise stated below, data processing is carried out on the basis of a joint controllership agreement pursuant to Article 26 GDPR. Further information on Google's privacy policy and on specific Google services listed below, as well as further options for objecting to the use and processing of data by Google, can be found at any time in Google's privacy policy at http://www.google.com/policies/privacy .

Google Tag Manager
to manage various services and code on our website, enabling us to integrate different services and technologies. By implementing individual tags, Google may process personal data such as IP addresses or online identifiers (cookies). This data processing is based on a data processing agreement with Google. If you do not wish to use specific tracking services, the deactivation will remain in effect for all affected tracking tags integrated via Google Tag Manager.

Google Ads:
We sometimes place advertisements in Google search results and on third-party websites. When you visit our website, the so-called Google Remarketing cookie is set. This automatically collects certain data (IP address, time of visit, device and browser information, and information about your use of our website). This allows us to display interest-based advertising based on the pages you have visited, using a pseudonymous cookie ID. If you have activated the "personalized advertising" setting in your Google account, further data processing takes place. Therefore, if you are logged into Google when visiting our website, Google uses your data, along with other Google Analytics data, to create and define lists for cross-device remarketing.
To analyze our website and track events, we measure your usage behavior via Google Ads Conversion Tracking if you arrived at our website via a Google Ads advertisement. Using pseudonyms, usage profiles are then created with the help of set cookies and other data (IP address, time of visit, device and browser information as well as information about your use of our website based on events we have specified, such as visiting a website or subscribing to a newsletter).

Google Analytics for web analytics
: To analyze website traffic, we use Google Analytics technology with your explicit consent in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 Sentence 1 lit. a GDPR. Data from you is automatically collected and stored. This data includes: your IP address, time of visit, browser and device information, and data on how you use our website. Google Analytics creates user profiles from this data using pseudonyms. Cookies may be used for this purpose. Your IP address is generally not combined with other data collected by Google. Data processing is based on a data processing agreement with Google.

We use an external service provider to obtain your consent for data processing by Google Analytics. This service provider processes data on our behalf and assists us in obtaining this consent. Please use the contact options described in this privacy policy so that we can answer your questions regarding our service providers and explain the basis of our cooperation.

You can withdraw your consent at any time with effect for the future by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de . This will prevent the collection of data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) as well as the processing of this data by Google.

Cookies used by Google Analytics for statistical purposes:
_ga: Registers a unique ID that is used to generate statistical data on how the visitor uses the website. (Storage duration: 2 years, Type: HTTP, Data transfer to: USA)
_gat: Used by Google Analytics to throttle request rate. (Storage duration: 1 day, Type: HTTP, Data transfer to: USA)
_gid: Registers a unique ID that is used to generate statistical data on how the visitor uses the website. (Storage duration: 1 day, Type: HTTP, Data transfer to: USA)

Google Maps:
We use the Google Maps service to display our or other relevant locations and geographical information. When you access a page where Google Maps is directly integrated, a connection is established to Google's servers. Google's servers record the page you are visiting, and your IP address is generally transmitted to Google's servers. It is also possible that location data is sent to Google to determine your position. If you have a Google account and are logged in when the connection to Google's servers is established, Google can associate your browsing behavior with your account (you can log out of your Google account before visiting the website to prevent this). We have no control over this data processing.
You can also prevent any data transmission via Google Maps by disabling JavaScript in your browser. Using Google Maps will then be either impossible or severely limited. Data processing is based on a joint controllership agreement pursuant to Article 26 of the GDPR, which you can view at https://privacy.google.com/intl/de/businesses/mapscontrollerterms/ .
If you are required to give your consent before the Google Maps map is displayed, we sometimes use an external service provider to obtain this consent. This service provider processes data on our behalf and assists us in obtaining the necessary consent. Please use the contact options described in this privacy policy so that we can answer your questions regarding our service providers and explain the basis of our cooperation.

[b] Facebook / Meta Pixel

Facebook then uses this information to combine it with other data from your Facebook account. This is used to compile reports on website activity. The goal is to display interest-based services to you based on your user profile, in particular personalized and group-based advertising.

We have no influence on data processing by Facebook and only receive statistics generated using the Facebook Pixel.

5) Other services and technologies used

[a] Google services

Google Privacy Notice:
The following offers and services are products of the operating company Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland (hereinafter “Google”). As a rule, the data collected through the use of these services is transferred to and stored on a server of Google LLC (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA). The European Commission has not issued an adequacy decision for the USA. Our cooperation is based on standard data protection clauses of the European Commission. Unless otherwise stated below, data processing is carried out on the basis of a joint controllership agreement pursuant to Article 26 GDPR. Further information on Google's privacy practices and those relating to specific Google services listed below, as well as further options for objecting to the use and processing of data by Google, can be found at any time in Google's privacy policy at http://www.google.com/policies/privacy .

Google Fonts:
Our website uses fonts from the Google Fonts service (fonts.google.com). By embedding these fonts via Google's servers, users always receive the latest version of each font. Google states that no cookies are sent to Google's servers when the font files are accessed; however, your IP address, the time of your visit, and browser and device information are typically transmitted to and processed by Google's servers. We have no control over this subsequent data processing.

Google reCAPTCHA:
To prevent the misuse of forms and other input options by bots, etc., on these pages, we sometimes use the Google service reCAPTCHA. On pages where reCAPTCHA is integrated, an automated mechanism runs in the background that analyzes whether the visitor is a bot or a human based on various parameters (such as IP address, cookies, visit duration, browser information, or user input). This data is generally sent to Google's servers for evaluation. In addition, other cookies stored in your browser by Google services are evaluated by Google reCAPTCHA. The personal data entered in a form where reCAPTCHA is integrated is neither evaluated nor stored. You can prevent any data transmission via Google reCAPTCHA by disabling JavaScript or cookies in your browser. However, using our website will then be impossible or only possible to a limited extent.

YouTube Videos:
These pages embed content (videos) from the internet video portal YouTube using so-called frames. YouTube (address: YouTube LLC, 901 Cherry Ave., San Bruno, CA 94066, USA) is a service and a subsidiary of Google. As soon as you visit a page where a YouTube video is embedded via a frame, a connection is established to the servers of YouTube or Google, and your IP address, time of visit, and browser and device information are generally transmitted to Google/YouTube servers. YouTube's servers record the page you are visiting. If you have a user account with Google or YouTube and are logged in while the connection to YouTube's servers is being established, Google can associate your browsing behavior with your user account. If you do not want this to happen, you must log out of your YouTube/Google account before accessing and playing the YouTube videos. We would also like to point out that the YouTube videos on our website are embedded in "enhanced privacy mode." Google explains that this means that additional data from our website users, beyond what has been mentioned above, will only be collected when the video is actively played, for example, cookies.

Google Translate:
We use services on this page that allow you to automatically translate the page (Google Translate). This involves sending personal data (including your IP address) to Google's servers in the USA, where it is stored. If you are logged into your Google account at the same time, Google can associate your visit to this website with your Google account. Cookies are also set to save your current language selection, allowing you to navigate between pages without having to translate each page individually. We use an external service provider to obtain your consent for data processing by Google Translate. This service provider processes data on our behalf and assists us in obtaining your consent. Please use the contact options described in this privacy policy so that we can answer your questions regarding our service providers and explain the basis of our cooperation.

[b] Matomo

For analysis purposes, certain data is collected from you as soon as you visit our website: IP address, time of visit, browser and device information, and information on how you use our website. This data is stored by us as usage profiles using a pseudonym. Cookies may be used for this purpose. The collected data will not be merged with other personal data without your explicit consent.

The connection to the servers is established via servers of FOSSGIS eV, which provides the German service openstreetmap.de (provider: FOSSGIS eV, Römerweg 5, 79199 Kirchzarten, Germany). When you access a page where these map services are integrated, your IP address, browser and device information, and location data may be transmitted to the providers. The integration of the maps serves our legitimate interests in the optimal marketing and presentation of our services, which outweigh any conflicting interests, pursuant to Art. 6 Para. 1 Sentence 1 lit. f GDPR.

[e] Vimeo
These pages embed content (videos) from the internet video portal Vimeo (address: Vimeo, Inc., 555 West 18th Street, New York, NY 10011) using frames.

You can find more information about this in the "Google Analytics" section.

Data processing is based on a joint controllership agreement pursuant to Article 26 GDPR. Vimeo's privacy policy can be viewed at https://vimeo.com/privacy .

[f] Matterport
These pages partially integrate content and services from the provider Matterport (address: Matterport, Inc., 352 E. Java Dr., Sunnyvale, CA 94089, USA). According to Matterport, no cookies are read or set when you access a Matterport tour (so-called Showcase) unless you are logged into your Matterport account. However, your IP address and browser information are generally sent to Matterport in anonymized form. The following data is also stored in your web browser's "local storage": a random, unique identification number used to measure Showcase access statistics, and user-specific settings that you configure during the tour (e.g., for selecting measurement units), so you don't have to re-enter these settings each time you open a tour. Matterport also collects additional statistics to improve its service. The following data is collected: your anonymized IP address (the last digits are zeroed out), approximate location (based on the anonymized IP address), your browser, operating system, and device type, as well as other device information such as screen size, time zone, browser language, graphics card type, and metrics. If you are logged into a Matterport account while viewing one of our showcases, a session cookie will also be set to provide you with more information, such as the private spaces available to you. Additionally, while logged in, your user identification service will be sent to Matterport's analytics tool. More information about data processing within the Matterport context can be found in Matterport's privacy policy at https://matterport.com/showcase-data-privacy .
Where you are required to give your consent before viewing the Matterport showcases, we sometimes use an external service provider to obtain this consent.

6) Our online presence on social networks

We operate company or profile pages on various social networking platforms. The operators of these platforms wish to create user profiles using pseudonyms. If you have given your consent in accordance with Article 6 Paragraph 1 Sentence 1 Letter a of the GDPR, the social media operators will collect data from you. This data, used for market research and advertising purposes, is then automatically collected when you visit the pages. Based on these user profiles, you will be shown, among other things, interest-based advertisements outside of the platforms. Cookies are generally used for this purpose.

7) Newsletter

[a] Registration Registration
in our newsletter system is always voluntary. By registering for the newsletter, you agree to receive regular email updates about new products/updates, company news, and updates to existing services. After clicking the button to submit your data, your entered personal data will be stored on our web server or on the servers of our additional service providers. The data required for newsletter registration is indicated on the respective registration form. You only need to fill in the fields marked as required. You will then receive an email containing a link that you must click to confirm that you actually want to receive the newsletter. This ensures, legally, that the registered user is indeed the owner of the entered email address and has given their consent to receive the newsletter (so-called "double opt-in procedure"). Your registration constitutes consent pursuant to Art. 6 Para. 1 Sentence 1 lit. a GDPR. Only after confirmation of the email address will it be added to the respective newsletter distribution list.

In order to be able to trace misuse of a data subject's email address at a later date and thus to provide legal protection for the controller, the IP address of the sender is stored at the time the personal data is transmitted.

[b] Use / Objection / Deletion
We use your personal data (email address and, if applicable, name) only for the purpose stated above. You can object to further use by contacting us and/or have your stored data changed or deleted. You can also unsubscribe from receiving the newsletter by clicking the link at the end of each newsletter. Your data will only be used further if you have given your consent or if we reserve the right to use your data for other legally permissible purposes and have informed you of this in this statement. In any case, your email address will be removed from the mailing list of the respective email newsletter after you object. Please also note that the deletion of your data from the web server or the servers of our additional service providers does not occur automatically via the aforementioned objection function of the newsletter, and you must contact us separately if you wish to have your data completely deleted from the system. The aforementioned objection only removes the association of your email address with the specific mailing list of the newsletter system.

[c] Additional Service Providers
We sometimes use additional service providers to send our newsletters. These service providers process data on our behalf and support us in sending the newsletter. Please use the contact options described in this privacy policy so that we can answer your questions regarding our service providers and explain the basis of our cooperation.
