Google Analytics

This information may also be transferred to third parties if this is required by law or if third parties process this data on behalf of the company. Under no circumstances will your IP address be merged with other data from Google. The IP addresses are anonymized so that an assignment is not possible (IP masking).

You may refuse the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser software at any time, however please note that if you do this you may not be able to use the full functionality of this website.

Google Ads Conversion Tracking

We use the "Google Ads" online advertising program on our website and in this context conversion tracking (visit campaign evaluation).

Google Ads is an offer from Google Ireland Limited, a company registered and operated under Irish law with its registered office at Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (www.google.com).

Google Ireland Limited is therefore the company affiliated with Google, which is responsible for the processing of your data and compliance with the applicable data protection laws.

If you click on an advertisement placed by Google, a cookie for the conversion tracking is placed on your computer. These cookies enable Google to recognize your internet browser. They have a limited validity, do not contain any personal data and are therefore not used for personal identification. If a user visits certain pages of our website and the cookie has not yet expired, Google and we can recognize that the user clicked on the ad and was redirected to this page. Every Google Ads customer receives a different cookie. There is therefore no possibility that cookies can be tracked by us via the websites. The information that is obtained using the conversion cookie is used to create conversion statistics. Here we find out the total number of users who clicked on one of our ads and were redirected to a page with a conversion tracking tag.

We only receive statistical evaluations from Google and no information with which users can be personally identified. Based on these evaluations, we can see which of the advertising measures used are particularly effective.

Data processing, in particular the setting of cookies, takes place with your consent on the basis of Art. 6, para. 1, lit. a GDPR. You can revoke your consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of the processing carried out based on your consent until you revoke it.

Facebook Pixel, Facebook Custom Audiences and Facebook Conversion

Within our online offer, we use the so-called "Facebook pixel" of the social network Facebook, which is operated by Facebook Inc., 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA, or if you are based in the EU, Facebook Ireland Ltd. , 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbor, Dublin 2, Ireland ("Facebook").

With the help of the Facebook pixel, Facebook is on the one hand able to identify you as a visitor to our online offer as a target group for the presentation of advertisements (so-called "Facebook ads"). Accordingly, we use the Facebook pixel to only display the Facebook ads placed by us to Facebook users who have also shown an interest in our online offer or who have certain characteristics (e.g. interests in certain topics or products that are based on the visited Websites) that we transmit to Facebook (so-called “Custom Audiences”). With the help of the Facebook pixel, we also want to ensure that our Facebook ads correspond to the potential interest of the users and are not annoying. With the help of the Facebook pixel, we can further understand the effectiveness of Facebook ads for statistical and market research purposes by seeing whether users have been redirected to our website after clicking on a Facebook ad (so-called “conversion”).

The processing of the data by Facebook takes place within the framework of the Facebook data usage guidelines. Accordingly, general information on the presentation of Facebook ads in the Facebook data usage guidelines. You can find special information and details about the Facebook pixel and how it works in the Facebook help section.

The use of the Facebook pixel and the storage of “conversion cookies” are based on Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR.

For the processing of the data, for which Facebook acts as a data processor, we have concluded a data processing contract with Facebook in which we oblige Facebook to protect our customers data and not to pass them on to third parties.

You can object to the collection by the Facebook pixel and the use of your data to display Facebook ads. To set which types of advertisements are shown to you within Facebook, you can call up the page set up by Facebook and follow the instructions there on the settings for usage-based advertising. The settings are platform-independent, i.e. they are adopted for all devices such as desktop computers or mobile devices. You can also object to the use of cookies, which are used for range measurement and advertising purposes, via the deactivation page of the network advertising initiative and also via the US website aboutads.info or the European website youronlinechoices.com.

Integration of YouTube videos

We have integrated YouTube videos into our online offer, which are stored on http://www.YouTube.com and can be played directly from our website. YouTube is another Google service. YouTube videos are all integrated in the “extended privacy mode”, i.e. no data about users is transmitted to YouTube if they do not play the videos. Only when a user plays the videos the following data are transmitted. We have no influence on this data transmission.

The legal basis is in accordance with Art. 6 Paragraph 1 lit. a) GDPR your consent to the processing of the data.

By visiting the website, YouTube receives information when playing a video that the user has called up the corresponding subpage of our online offer. In addition, further information about the use of this online offer (including the IP address of the user) will be transmitted to a YouTube server in the USA and stored there. This is independent of whether YouTube provides a user account through which the user is logged-in, or whether no user account exists. If the user is logged-in to YouTube, his data will be assigned directly to his account. If a user does not wish to be assigned to his profile on YouTube, he must log out before activating the button. YouTube stores data as user profiles and uses them for purposes of advertising, market research and/or demand-oriented design of its website. Such an evaluation takes place in particular (even for unlogged-in users) to provide demand-oriented advertising and to inform other users of the social network about the activities of the user on our online offer. The user has the right to object to the creation of these user profiles, whereby the user must contact YouTube to exercise this right.

Further information on the purpose and scope of data collection and processing by YouTube is contained in the data protection declaration, as is further information on rights and setting options for the protection of privacy: https://www.google.de/intl/en/policies/privacy.

When using the vistrax app

The vistrax app is used to easily record visitors. The data recorded in the vistrax app are transmitted to "vistrax - the visitor management software". For this data transfer, authorizations for mobile or WLAN network access are required. The vistrax app does not transmit any data to the manufacturer (CONZE Informatik GmbH) of the app or to other recipients.

Registration takes place on a vistraxServer service hosted by the user or publicly accessible for test cases. The server saves the manually assigned device name and the current IP address. The manually assigned device name, the server address and the authorization token are saved in the device.

The personal data collected as part of the visitor registration, such as name and arrival time, are stored in the app and transmitted to the vistraxServer service in encrypted form by default. The data is only stored as long as the acquisition process lasts. After they have been sent to the server, they are deleted on the device used.

The operator of the app ("user") is responsible for data entered in the app by third parties ("visitors"). A locally hosted vistraxServer service is required for secure storage. A data protection declaration, which is displayed to the visitor, is to be stored in the system by the user and assigned accordingly.
