You may visit our website without revealing any personal information. With every visit on the website, the web server stores automatically only a so-called server log file which contains e.g. the name of the requested file, your IP address, the date and time of the request, the volume of data transferred and the requesting provider (access data), the operating system of the user's terminal device, information about the browser, the previous website from which the user accessed our website.

This access data is collected solely for the purpose of ensuring the trouble-free operation of the website. Insofar as we use cookies in this context, which we store on your end device, this is done in accordance with § 25 para. 2 TDDDG in conjunction with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR. This is done in the context of our overriding legitimate interests in the proper presentation of our website. The data that is absolutely necessary for the provision of the website is deleted at the end of the session. All other access data is deleted no later than seven days after the end of your visit on our website.

4. Data collection and use for processing the contract, contact form

We collect personal data that you voluntarily submit to us when you place an order or contact us (e.g. via contact form or by e-mail). These are contact details such as name, surname, email address, password and the content data of your contact. Mandatory fields are marked as such because we absolutely need those data to perform the contract or process your contact request and you would otherwise not be able to complete your order or send the contact request.

We use the data that you disclose to us to perform the contract according to Art. 6 (1) 1 lit. b GDPR. Insofar as you send us an enquiry, we process the data provided by you in accordance with Art. 6 (1) 1 lit. f GDPR for the response to you enquiry.

After complete processing of the contract or answering your customer enquiries, your data will be restricted for further processing and insofar as it concerns contractual data, deleted after expiry of the retention periods under tax and commercial law §§ 147 AO, 257 HGB 10 years for tax-relevant facts and 6 years for business/commercial letters in accordance with § 147 AO, unless you have expressly consented to further use of your data or we reserve the right to use data beyond this, which is permitted by law and about which we inform you in this declaration.

Insofar as we base data processing in the context of a customer enquiry on our legitimate interest, we delete the personal data at the latest after 2 years starting with the calendar year in which the enquiry was finally answered, in order to be able to carry out a quality check.

In the case of data processing based on legitimate interest, you can object to this data processing at any time. You can send your objection to the following e-mail address datenschutz@aignermunich.com or to the contact details under 1. All data stored in connection with the contact will be deleted in this case, with the exception of the data required by us to document the processing of the objection in accordance with Art. 5 para. 2 GDPR.

5. Log-In Registration/opening a customer account

We offer you the opportunity to register at out website by providing your personal data, such as title, first name, surname, email address, password and password confirmation. In addition, your IP address as a user and the date and time of the log-in are stored at the time of registration.

The data processing is based on the establishment of a contract and/or the implementation of pre-contractual measures in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. b GDPR. It serves the purpose of making the order process available in a secure area in the customer account.

As far as the data described above is no longer required for the purposes also described above, the data will be deleted. In the case of data in connection with contracts, there may still be legal (tax law §§ 147 AO, 257 HGB) or contractual obligations (warranty) to continue to store the data after termination of the contract. For security reasons, log files are stored for 7 days.

The deletion of your customer account/log-in registration is possible at any time and can be done by sending an e-mail to datenschutz@aignermunich.com.

6. Transfer of data

In order to fulfil the contract in accordance with Art. 6 (1) 1 lit. b GDPR, we pass on your data (title, first name, surname, billing/delivery address, telephone, e-mail address, articles) to service providers (print service providers, shipping service providers, logistics providers, banks, IT service providers, marketing service providers) for the processing of orders and payments as well as returns, insofar as this is necessary.

We also use your data to assert and enforce our rights and in this case pass the data on to lawyers, tax consultants, insurance companies or debt collection agencies.

In addition, we may be obliged to transfer your personal data to public authorities in order to comply with legal obligations. These may include tax authorities and customs authorities.

We have carefully selected our service providers and contractually obliged them to process data on our behalf in compliance with data protection regulations as part of an order processing contract. If we use service providers outside the EU or the European Economic Area (EEA), we first check the level of data protection in the country of the service provider to determine whether this is sufficient and take measures in accordance with Art. 44 ff of the GDPR to achieve a sufficient level of data protection. Insofar as the EU standard contractual clauses are used and the service provider is from an unsafe third country, we have taken additional contractual, organizational and technical measures to ensure the EU level of data protection and have carried out a Transfer Impact Assessment. Further information can be found at datenschutz@aignermunich.com.

Hosting services

Data are also processed by a provider that we have engaged to render hosting and website presentation services on our behalf.

This service provider, the company maxcluster (maxcluster GmbH), is located in Germany at Lise-Meitner-Str. 1b in 33104 Paderborn.

Your personal data will be used by the payment service providers to check whether the selected payment option can be offered to you. Please note that these recipients claim their own right or duty as a legal basis for the data processing and are therefore considered their own data controllers. Their data protection provisions and T&Cs apply.

Furthermore, we would like to inform you that if you do not pay an invoice, the payment service providers and/or we may use debt collection agencies. In this case, the collection companies will receive your personal data, which are necessary to enforce the claim; the data processing is carried out in this respect in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR.

8. Integration of the Trusted Shops Trustbadge / other widgets

The Trusted Shops Trustbadge is integrated on this website to display our Trusted Shops services (seal of approval, collected reviews) and to offer Trusted Shops products to buyers after an order has been placed.

This serves to safeguard our overriding legitimate interests by enabling secure shopping in accordance with Art. 6 (1) 1 lit. f GDPR, § 25 TDDDG. For the Trustbadge and the services advertised with it (e.g. optimal marketing, seal of approval, collected ratings), an offer from Trusted Shops AG, Subbelrather Str. 15C, 50823 Cologne, with which we are jointly responsible under data protection law in accordance with Art. 26 GDPR, we obtain consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR in conjunction with § 25 para. 1 TDDDG. In the context of this data protection notice, we will inform you below about the essential contents of the contract in accordance with Art. 26 (2) GDPR.

The Trustbadge is provided by an US CDN provider (Content Delivery Network) as part of a shared responsibility. An adequate level of data protection is ensured by the current EU adequacy decision, the concluded EU standard contractual clauses and, based on a Transfer Impact Assessment, other suitable, supplementary technical, organizational and other contractual measures. Further information on data protection at Trusted Shops AG can be found here.

When the Trustbadge is called up, the web server automatically saves a so-called server log file, which also contains your IP address, date and time of the call, amount of data transferred and the requesting provider (access data) and documents the call. The IP address is anonymized immediately after collection, so that the stored data cannot be assigned to you personally. The anonymised data is used in particular for statistical purposes and for error analysis.

After the order has been completed, the Trustbadge accesses information stored on your end device (order total, order number and e-mail address), the latter is transmitted to Trusted Shops AG as a hashed e-mail address. The legal basis is Art. 6 (1) 1 lit. a GDPR in conjunction with Art. 25 (1) TDDDG. This serves to check whether you are already registered for services with Trusted Shops AG and is therefore necessary for the fulfillment of our and Trusted Shops overriding legitimate interests in the provision of buyer protection linked to the specific order Art. 6 (1) 1 lit. f GDPR in conjunction with Art. 25 TDDDG and the transactional evaluation services in accordance with Art. 6 (1) 1 lit. a GDPR in conjunction with § 25 (1) TDDDG required. If this is the case, further processing takes place in accordance with the contractual agreement made between you and Trusted Shops according to Art. 6 (1) lit. b GDPR. If you are not yet registered for the services, you will then be given the opportunity to do so for the first time. Further processing after registration is also based on the contractual agreement with Trusted Shops. If you do not register, all transmitted data will be automatically deleted by Trusted Shops AG and a personal reference is then no longer possible.

Trusted Shops uses service providers in the areas of hosting, monitoring and logging. Processing may take place in third countries (USA and Israel) according to Art. 44 ff GDPR. An adequate level of data protection is ensured in the case of the USA by the currently existing Transatlantic Data Privacy Framework if the service provider used is certified according to the Transatlantic Data Privacy Framework. EU standard contractual clauses and other suitable technical, organizational and contractual measures are agreed with the service providers used, if necessary based on a Transfer Impact Assessment. In the case of Israel, there is an adequacy decision.

As part of the shared responsibility between us and Trusted Shops AG, if you have questions about data protection and to assert your rights, please contact Trusted Shops AG, whose contact options you can find here. Irrespective of this, you can always contact us using the contact option described in this data protection declaration. If necessary, your request will then be forwarded to the other person responsible for an answer.

These cookies are necessary for you to be able to use our website, i.e. for its display and delivery. These include, for example, cookies with which you can log in to the customer area or place items in your shopping cart. We do not require your consent for this. The legal basis is Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR in connection with § 25 (2) 2 TDDDG.

11.3.2 Analysis / performance cookies

These cookies enable collecting anonymised data about user behaviour on our website. We analyse them e.g. to improve the functionality of our website and recommend products that are of interest to you.

12. Analysis tools

12.1 Using of Google (Universal) Analytics for web analytics

Insofar as you have given your consent according to Art. 6 (1) 1 lit. a GDPR, this website uses Google (Universal) Analytics. Google Universal Analytics is an offer from Google Ireland Limited, a company incorporated and operated under Irish law with its registered office at Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (www.google.co.uk). Google (Universal) Analytics uses methods, like e.g. cookies, that enable an analysis of your use of the website. The information collected automatically by cookies about your use of this website are as a rule transmitted to and stored on a Google server in the United States.

At the same time, as IP anonymisation is enabled on this website, the IP address will be shortened before being transmitted within the area of member states of the European Union or other parties to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases, the full IP address will be sent to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. Generally, Google does not associate the anonymised IP address, transmitted from your browser through Google Analytics, with any other data held by Google.

During your website visit, your user behavior is recorded in the form of "events". Events can be:

- Page views

- First visit on the website

- Start of session

- Your "click path", interaction with the website

- Scrolls (whenever a user scrolls to the bottom of the page (90%))

- Clicks on external links

- Internal search queries

- Interaction with videos

- Seen / clicked ads

Also recorded:

- Your approximate location (region)

- Your IP address (in shortened form)

- Technical information about your browser and the end devices you use (e.g. language setting, screen resolution)

- Your internet service provider

- The referrer URL (via which website / via which advertising medium you came to this website)

On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your anonymous use of the website and compiling reports on website activity. The reports provided by Google Analytics are used to analyze the performance of our website and the success of our marketing campaigns.

Recipients

Recipients of the data are/may be:

Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (as processor according to Art. 28 GDPR)

Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043, USA

Alphabet Inc, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043, USA

It cannot be ruled out that US authorities access the data stored by Google.

Insofar as data is processed outside the EU/EEA and there is no level of data protection corresponding to the European standard, we have concluded EU standard contractual clauses with the service provider to establish an appropriate level of data protection. The parent company of Google Ireland, Google LLC, is based in California, USA. A transfer of data to the USA and access by US authorities to the data stored by Google cannot be ruled out. However, Google LLC is certified under the Transatlantic Data Privacy Framework.

After the end of the purpose, usually after 2 months or the end of the use of Google Analytics by us, the data collected in this context will be deleted by us.

You may revoke your consent according to Art. 6 (1) 1 lit. a GDPR and Art. 25 (1) TDDDG at any time in the cookie consent banner or footer under cookie settings by changing your settings there.

Alternatively, you can prevent the storage of cookies from the outset by setting your browser software accordingly.

12.2 Advertising with Google Ads remarketing

We use the Google Ads service. Google Ads is an online advertising programme of Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. The responsible party for users in the EU/EEA and Switzerland is Google Ireland Limited, Google Building Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland.

This means that we place Google Ads and also use Google Remarketing and Conversion Tracking as part of this. The ads are displayed after search queries on websites of the Google advertising network. In addition, we use Ads remarketing lists for search ads. This allows us to customise search ad campaigns for users who have visited our website before. Through the services, we have the ability to combine our ads with specific search terms or to serve ads to previous visitors that, for example, advertise services that they have viewed on our website. This means that we can display interest-based advertising to users of our website on other websites within the Google advertising network (as a "Google Ad" within Google Search or on other websites).

An analysis of online user behaviour is necessary for interest-based offers. Google uses cookies to carry out this analysis. When clicking on an advertisement or visiting our website, a cookie is set on the user's computer by Google. These cookies have a duration of 180 days. Further information on the cookie technology used can also be found in Google's notes on website statistics and in the privacy policy. With the help of this technology, Google and we as the customer receive information about the fact that a user has clicked on an advertisement and has been forwarded to our web pages. The information obtained in this way is used exclusively for statistical analysis to optimise advertisements. We do not receive any information with which visitors can be personally identified. Your IP address is transmitted to Google, but since we use Google Analytics on this website, your IP address is anonymised. The statistics provided to us by Google include the total number of users who clicked on one of our ads and, if applicable, whether they were redirected to a page on our website that was tagged with a conversion tag. These statistics allow us to track which search terms were clicked on particularly often and which ads lead to the user contacting us via the contact form. By integrating Adwords Conversion, Google receives the information that you have called up a specific part of our website or clicked on one of our ads. If you are registered with Google, Google can assign you to your account. Even if you are not registered or logged in to the account, Google may be able to find out your IP address and thus who you are.

Insofar as data is processed outside the EU/EEA, where there is no level of data protection corresponding to the European standard, we have concluded EU standard contractual clauses with the service provider to establish a secure level of data protection. Google is certified under the Transatlantic Data Privacy Framework. Insofar as data is processed outside the European Economic Area / the EU, where there is no level of data protection that corresponds to the European standard, Google states that it uses standard contractual clauses.

You can find more information on data protection in the context of Google Ads at: https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads?hl=en

The collection and storage of data only takes place after explicit consent according to Art. 6 (1) 1 lit. a, 49 (1) 1 lit. a GDPR in connection with § 25 (1) TDDDG. This can be revoked at any time with effect for the future. You can revoke your consent at any time for the future in the cookie consent banner or footer under cookie settings by changing your settings there.

If you do not want your visit to be included in the user statistics, you can prevent this by preventing the storage of the cookie required for these technologies, for example, via the settings of your browser (www.googeleadservices.com) or by deactivating the cookies for conversion tracking (www.google.de/settings/ads) or by self-regulating "About Ads" http://www.aboutads.info/choices, whereby this selection is deleted when you delete the cookies or manage the cookies https://policies.google.com/technologies/cookies?hl=de#managing-cookies.

You also have the option to select the types of Google ads or disable interest-based ads on Google via the https://adssettings.google.com/authenticated?hl=en page. Alternatively, you can disable the use of cookies by third parties by accessing the Network Advertising Initiative's disablement guide.

However, we and Google still receive statistical information about how many users have visited this page and when. If you do not wish to be included in these statistics, you can prevent this by using additional programs for your browser (e.g. with the Ghostery add-on).

In addition to Google Adwords Conversion, we use the Google Adwords Remarketing application based on your previously given consent to the use of cookies and the third country transfer in the Cookie Consent Banner. Through Google Adwords Remarketing, our advertisements can be displayed to you after a visit to our website in the subsequent internet use by you. For this purpose, the interaction of users on our website is analyzed, e.g. which offers the user was interested in, in order to be able to display targeted advertising to users on other sites even after they have visited our website. For this purpose, Google stores cookies on the end devices of users who visit certain Google services or websites in the Google Display Network. These cookies are used to record the visits of these users. The cookies are used to uniquely identify a web browser on a specific end device and not to identify a person. You can find more information about cookies here: https://policies.google.com/technologies/types?hl=en. Google Adwords Remarketing allows you to be shown our advertisements when you subsequently use the internet after visiting our website. This is done by means of cookies stored in your browser, which are used by Google to record and evaluate your usage behaviour when visiting various websites. In this way, Google can determine your previous visit to our website. According to its own statements, Google does not combine the data collected in the course of Google Remarketing with your personal data that may be stored by Google (e.g. because you have registered for a Google service such as GMail).

The Google Tag Manager collects personal data, but does not evaluate it, but passes it on to the analysis tools used. Google Tag Manager makes it easier for us to integrate and manage our tags. Tags are small code elements that are used, among other things, to measure traffic and visitor behaviour, to record the impact of online advertising and social channels, to set up remarketing and targeting, and to test and optimise websites. We use the Tag Manager for the Google Analytics service. If you have deactivated it, this deactivation will be taken into account by the Google Tag Manager.

Google LLC, USA,

Alphabet Inc., USA.

This service may process data outside the European Union and the European Economic Area (EEA) and transfer it to a country that does not offer an adequate level of data protection.

There is currently an adequacy decision with the Transatlantic Data Privacy Framework. Google is certified under the Transatlantic Data Privacy Framework.

For statistical evaluation purposes, we use the Instagram insights function. In this context, we receive anonymised data in the form of statistics, which Meta Platforms Inc. collects via cookies and pixels, among other things, on the visitors to our Instagram page.

- Discovery: How many people were reached, impressions as well as new subscribers.

- Promotion: Gives an overview of how long the promotion has been running and how much has been spent so far.

In what way Instagram processes the data for its own purposes and to what extent activities on the Instagram page are assigned to individual users, the storage period, the transfer to third parties, is not conclusively defined in concrete terms by Meta Platforms Limited Ireland. We are not aware of this. When accessing the Instagram page, the IP address of your end device is transmitted anonymously for German addresses and deleted after 90 days. Meta Platforms Limited Ireland also stores information about the end devices of its users so that it may be possible for Instagram Inc. to assign them to individual users.

13.3 Meta Pixel

For marketing purposes, this website uses so-called conversion and retargeting tags (also "meta pixels") of the provider Meta, i.e. Metaplatforms Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland (hereinafter Meta).

If we have your consent, the meta pixel will be set in your terminal device and the following information will be read out and the following data will be collected when you visit the website: Web pages visited, interest in content, access times, page views, first visit on the website, internal search queries, device information, your IP address, your location, your e-mail address, your telephone number, your gender, your first and last name, your date of birth, your user ID, your address.

We process this data for the following events, i.e. for the following purposes: page view (number of views of a particular website under a web browser), view content (pure visit on the website), add to cart (adding an item to the shopping cart), purchase (completion of the purchase with order confirmation) and initiate checkout (start the purchase process) have been collected and transmitted from there to our server. This website uses the meta pixel to analyse the general use of the website and to track the effectiveness of meta advertising ("conversion"). In addition, the meta pixel is used to show you individualised advertising messages based on your interest ("retargeting"). For this purpose, Meta processes data that the service collects via cookies and similar technologies on this website.

Due to the combined marketing tools used (Meta Pixel and Conversions API), your browser automatically establishes a direct connection with the server of Metaplatforms Ireland Ltd. (Meta) as soon as we have your consent pursuant to Art. 6 (1) lit. a, 49 (1) lit. a GDPR in connection with § 25 (1) TDDDG. Insofar as the above-mentioned data is collected, processed and also transmitted to Meta for the event add to cart (adding an item to the shopping cart), purchase (completion of the purchase with order confirmation) and initiate checkout (starting the purchase process), this is done in accordance with § 25 (2) 2 TDDDG, because this information which is collected and processed is required for the desired digital service of the user, selection of the product and insertion into the shopping cart, the payment function and for the completion of the ordering process and the purchase. In terms of data protection law, on the other hand, the transmission to Meta and thus also to the USA is based on your consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. a, 49 (1) lit. a GDPR.

The meta pixel is integrated by Meta when you call up our website immediately after you have given us your consent to user-based advertising (the creation of individualised or suitable advertisements, as well as for their optimisation) in accordance with § 25 para. 1 TDDDG in conjunction with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a, 49 para. 1 lit. a GDPR and can save a so-called cookie, i.e. a small file, on your device. If you subsequently log in to Facebook (Meta) or visit Facebook (Meta) while logged in, your visit to our website will be noted in your profile.

However, the data is stored and processed by Meta so that a connection to the respective user profile is possible. The processing of the data by Meta takes place within the framework of Meta's data usage policy. Accordingly, you can find more information on how the remarketing pixel works and generally on the display of Facebook ads in Facebook's data usage policy: https://www.facebook.com/privacy/policy.

In this respect, your consent also constitutes consent to data processing in the USA.

You can revoke your consent at any time in the cookie consent banner or footer under cookie settings by changing your settings there. You can revoke your consent for data processing by Metaplatforms Ireland Ltd. with Meta Pixel at any time with effect for the future ( https://www.facebook.com/off_facebook_activity), by adjusting your preferences in the cookie settings.

Etienne Aigner processes the following data from you email address, telephone number, gender, first and last name, date of birth and address. This data is transferred via the Meta Conversion API to Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland (hereinafter Meta). We do not enrich the data transmitted to Meta. Meta uses this data to create user statistics in order to be able to play out user-specific advertising in order to achieve an increase in reach and higher sales.

In doing so, your personal data may be processed by Meta in the USA, an insecure third country. There is no equivalent level of EU data protection in the USA. The use of the Conversion API and the data transfer of the above-mentioned data to the USA is based on Art. 6 (1) lit. a, 49 (1) lit. a GDPR and § 25 (1) TDDDG. With your consent, you therefore also agree to data processing in the USA. The consent can be freely revoked at any time for the future. You can object to your consent for data processing by the Conversion API for this web domain at any time with effect for the future at Meta (Facebook) and check at https://www.facebook.com/login.php?next=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Foff_facebook_activity, https://www.facebook.com/help/2207256696182627/?ref=ofa and https://www.facebook.com/help/contact/1994830130782319.

Insofar as the above data is collected, processed and transmitted to Meta for the event purchase (conclusion of the purchase with order confirmation), this is done in accordance with § 25 (2) 2 TDDDG, because this information, which is collected and processed, is required for the digital service of the purchase requested by you. In terms of data protection law, however, the transmission to Meta and thus also to the USA is based on your consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. a, 49 (1) lit. a GDPR.

The service provider of this tool, Meta Conversion API, is the American company Meta Platforms Inc, 1601 S. California Avenue, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA. Meta (Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland) is responsible for the European region. You can find out more about data protection at Meta under https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy and https://www.facebook.com/ads/settings.

We have concluded the standard contractual clauses of the EU Commission with Meta for data transfer to the USA. Meta Platforms Inc. is certified according to the Transatlantic Data Privacy Framework.

With regard to the data collection on our website with the help of this Meta Tool (Conversion Api) and the transfer of this data to Meta, we are jointly responsible with Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland (hereinafter Meta) for the data collection and the transfer to Meta Platforms Ireland Limited in accordance with Art. 26 GDPR. Insofar as Meta Platforms Ireland Limited transfers this data to the parent company in the USA or to a third party, this is not covered by the joint responsibility. The substantive joint responsibility agreement between Meta Platforms Ireland Limited and us can be found at https://www.facebook.com/legal/controller_addendum. In this agreement, we have assumed responsibility for the implementation of the tool on our website and the provision of the privacy notice, whereas Meta Platforms Ireland Limited is responsible for data security. You can exercise your data subject rights in relation to the data processed by Meta Platforms Ireland Limited directly against Meta Platforms Ireland Limited. If you assert these against us, we will forward these requests (e.g. information, deletion) to Meta Platforms Ireland Limited without delay.

13.5 Use of Meta Pixel Advanced Matching

This website uses Meta Pixel Advanced Matching, a service with which the meta adverts are matched in order to improve conversions and adverts. The personal data collected with the meta pixel is supplemented with additional user information for this purpose.

If we have your consent, Meta Pixel Advanced Matching is activated and cookies are set on your end device. This is used to read the following information and collect the following data when you visit the website: Email address, first name, surname, gender, geographical location, date of birth, telephone number.

We use them for the following target group-orientated marketing purposes:

- To see what impact our adverts have on website conversions

- To better match website visitors with meta users

- To optimise campaigns and reduce costs

Due to the combined marketing tools used (Meta Pixel and Meta Pixel Advanced Matching), your browser automatically establishes a direct connection with the server of Metaplatforms Ireland Ltd (Meta) as soon as we have your consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a, 49 para. 1 lit. a GDPR in conjunction with § 25 para. 1 TDDDG.

If you subsequently log in to Facebook (Meta) or visit Facebook (Meta) while logged in, your visit to our website will be noted in your profile. The data collected about you is anonymous to us, so it does not allow us to draw any conclusions about the identity of the user. However, the data is stored and processed by Meta so that a connection to the respective user profile is possible. Meta processes the data in accordance with the Meta Data Usage Policy.

You can revoke your consent at any time in the cookie consent banner or footer under cookie settings for the future and without disadvantages for you, among other things, by changing your settings there.

It cannot be ruled out that Metaplatforms Ireland Ltd. may also transfer the collected data to the parent company in the USA or to service providers in an insecure third country where there is no level of data protection comparable to that in the EU. In this respect, your consent also constitutes consent to such data processing. An adequacy decision currently exists for the USA in the form of the Transatlantic Data Privacy Framework. Meta is certified accordingly and included in the Data Privacy Framework List.

The standard contractual clauses of the EU Commission have been concluded for data transfer to the USA. Details can be found here:
