If the data processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. e or f of the GDPR, you have the right to object to the processing of your personal data at any time for reasons arising from your particular situation, including profiling based on these provisions. The respective legal basis for processing can be found in this data protection declaration.

Right to data transferability

You have the right to have data, which we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfilment of a contract, handed over to you or to a third party in a common, machine-readable format.

Right to restriction of processing

You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. You can contact us about this at any time at the address given in the imprint. The right to restrict processing exists in the following cases:

  • If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored with us, we usually need time to verify this. For the duration of the verification time, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
  • If the processing of your personal data was/is carried out unlawfully, you have the right to demand the restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of its deletion.

  • If you have lodged an objection under Art. 21 Para. 1 of the GDPR, a balance must be struck between your interests and ours. As long as it is not yet clear whose interests prevail, you have the right to request that the processing of your personal data be restricted.

If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, such data may not be processed, with the exception of their storage, without your consent or for the purpose of asserting, exercising, or defending rights or protecting the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of an important public interest of the European Union or of a member state.

5. Analysis tools and advertising

Google Analytics

This website uses functions of the web analysis service Google Analytics. The provider is Google Ireland Limited ("Google"), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

Google Analytics uses what are known as "cookies". These are text files which are stored on your computer and which allow an analysis of your use of the website. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website will generally be transmitted to and stored at Google on servers in the United States.

If the relevant consent has been requested (e.g. consent to the storage of cookies), processing will be carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 letter a of the GDPR, § 25 Para. 2 TTDSG ; consent may be revoked at any time.

IP anonymisation

We have activated the IP anonymisation function on this website. As a result, Google will truncate your IP address within member states of the European Union or other contracting states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area before transmission to the USA. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transmitted to a Google server in the USA and truncated there. By order of the operator, Google will use this information to analyse your use of the website, to compile reports about the website activities, and to render other services related to the use of the website and of the Internet in general to the website operator. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics is not combined with other data from Google.

Browser plugin

You may refuse the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings in your browser software, however please note that if you do this you may not be able to use the all functions of this website. You can also prevent Google from collecting the data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) and from processing this data by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available under the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en.

Opposition to data collection

You can prevent the collection of your data through Google Analytics by clicking on the following link. An opt-out cookie will be set to prevent the collection of your data when you visit this website in the future: Disable Google Analytics.

You can find more information on how Google Analytics handles user data in the Google privacy policy: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245?hl=en.

Order processing

We have concluded a contract with Google for order processing and fully implement the strict requirements of the German data protection authorities when using Google Analytics.

Demographics at Google Analytics

This website uses the "demographics" function of Google Analytics. This allows reports to be created that contain information about the age, gender and interests of the website visitors. This data is derived from interest-based advertising by Google as well as from visitor data from third parties. This data cannot be assigned to a specific person. You can deactivate this function at any time via the ad settings in your Google Account or generally prohibit the collection of your data by Google Analytics as described in the section "Objection to data collection".

Storage duration

User and event-level data stored at Google that is linked to cookies, user IDs or advertising IDs (e.g. DoubleClick cookies, Android advertising ID) is anonymised or deleted after 14 months. Details can be found under the following link: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/7667196?hl=en

Google Tag Manager

This website uses the Google Tag Manager of Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland). This service allows website tags to be managed via an interface. The Tag Manager is required for the technical operation, through which the tags are controlled. The legal basis for the use of the Google Tag Manager is Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. f EU-DS-GVO. The Google Tag Manager only implements tags. This means that no cookies are used and no personal data is collected. The Google Tag Manager triggers other tags, which in turn may collect data. However, the Google Tag Manager does not access this data. If a deactivation has been made at domain or cookie level, it remains in place for all tracking tags, insofar as these are implemented with the Google Tag Manager. More information on the Google Tag Manager can be found at the following link: https://support.google.com/tagmanager/answer/9323295?hl=de#

In addition, your personal data is processed by the social media providers, but also by Wiegand-Glas Holding GmbH, for market research and advertising purposes. For example, it is possible that user profiles are created based on your usage behaviour and the resulting interests.

Notes on copyright and artistic copyright

If you wish to publish images, texts, plans, videos, music, etc. on our website, you should be aware that you may be assigning all rights of use to the network, which could ultimately have legal consequences for you if you are not the author or rights holder yourself.
