Privacy Notice

We are very pleased about your interest in our company. Data protection is of particularly high priority for the management of All Entertainment GmbH. The use of the Internet pages of All Entertainment GmbH is generally possible without any indication of personal data. However, if a data subject wants to use special services of our company via our website, processing of personal data could become necessary. If processing of personal data is necessary and there is no legal basis for such processing, we generally obtain the consent of the data subject.

The processing of personal data, such as the name, address, e-mail address, or telephone number of a data subject shall always be in line with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and in accordance with the country-specific data protection regulations applicable to All Entertainment GmbH. By means of this data protection declaration, our company would like to inform the public about the nature, scope, and purpose of the personal data we collect, use and process. Furthermore, data subjects are informed of their rights by means of this data protection declaration.

As the controller, All Entertainment GmbH has implemented numerous technical and organizational measures to ensure the most complete protection of personal data processed through this website. However, Internet-based data transmissions can in principle have security gaps, so that absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, every data subject is free to transfer personal data to us via alternative means, e.g. by telephone.

1. Definitions

The data protection declaration of All Entertainment GmbH is based on the terms used by the European legislator for the adoption of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Our data protection declaration should be legible and understandable for the general public, as well as our customers and business partners. To ensure this, we would like to first explain the terminology used.

In this data protection declaration, we use, inter alia, the following terms:

  • a) Personal data

    Personal data means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (‘data subject’). An identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person.

  • b) Data subject

    Data subject is any identified or identifiable natural person, whose personal data is processed by the controller responsible for the processing.

  • c) Processing

    Processing is any operation or set of operations which is performed on personal data or on sets of personal data, whether or not by automated means, such as collection, recording, organization, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure or destruction.

  • d) Restriction of processing

    Restriction of processing is the marking of stored personal data with the aim of limiting their processing in the future.

  • e) Profiling

    Profiling means any form of automated processing of personal data consisting of the use of personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to analyze or predict aspects concerning that natural person’s performance at work, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behavior, location or movements.

  • f) Pseudonymization

    Pseudonymization is the processing of personal data in such a manner that the personal data can no longer be attributed to a specific data subject without the use of additional information, provided that such additional information is kept separately and is subject to technical and organizational measures to ensure that the personal data are not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.

  • g) Controller or controller responsible for the processing

    The controller or person responsible for processing is the natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or other body which, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data. Where the purposes and means of such processing are determined by Union or Member State law, the controller or the specific criteria for its nomination may be provided for by Union or Member State law.

  • h) Processor

    A processor is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or other body which processes personal data on behalf of the controller.

  • i) Recipient

    A recipient is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or other body to which personal data are disclosed, whether a third party or not. However, public authorities which may receive personal data in the framework of a particular inquiry in accordance with Union or Member State law shall not be regarded as recipients.

  • j) Third Party

    A third party is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or body other than the data subject, controller, processor, and persons who, under the direct authority of the controller or processor, are authorized to process personal data.

  • k) Consent

    Consent of the data subject means any freely given, specific, informed, and unambiguous indication of the data subject’s wishes by which he or she, by a statement or by a clear affirmative action, signifies agreement to the processing of personal data relating to him or her.

2. Name and Address of the Controller

The controller within the meaning of the General Data Protection Regulation, other data protection laws applicable in the Member States of the European Union, and other provisions related to data protection is:

All Entertainment GmbH
In den Steinäckern 12
64832 Babenhausen
Tel.: +49 (0)6073 747874 0
E-Mail: agentur@allentertainment.de
Website: allentertainment.de

3. Name and Address of the Data Protection Officer

The Data Protection Officer of the controller is:

SNS Connect GmbH
Markus Sextro
Hessen-Homburg-Platz 1
63452 Hanau
E-Mail: datenschutz@snsconnect.de
Website: www.snsconnect.de

Any data subject may, at any time, contact our Data Protection Officer directly with all questions and suggestions concerning data protection.

4. Cookies

The internet pages of All Entertainment GmbH use cookies. Cookies are text files that are stored in a computer system via an Internet browser.

Many Internet sites and servers use cookies. Many cookies contain a so-called cookie ID. A cookie ID is a unique identifier of the cookie. It consists of a character string through which Internet pages and servers can be assigned to the specific Internet browser in which the cookie was stored. This allows visited Internet sites and servers to differentiate the individual browser of the data subject from other Internet browsers that contain other cookies. A specific Internet browser can be recognized and identified using the unique cookie ID.

Through the use of cookies, All Entertainment GmbH can provide the users of this website with more user-friendly services that would not be possible without the cookie setting.

By means of a cookie, the information and offers on our website can be optimized with the user in mind. Cookies allow us, as previously mentioned, to recognize our website users. The purpose of this recognition is to make it easier for users to utilize our website. The user of a website that uses cookies does not, for example, have to enter access data each time the website is accessed, because this is taken over by the website, and the cookie is thus stored on the user’s computer system. Another example is the cookie of a shopping cart in an online shop. The online store remembers the articles that a customer has placed in the virtual shopping cart via a cookie.

The data subject can prevent the setting of cookies by our website at any time by adjusting the settings of the internet browser used and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Furthermore, cookies that have already been set can be deleted at any time via an internet browser or other software programs. This is possible in all common internet browsers. If the data subject deactivates the setting of cookies in the internet browser used, not all functions of our website may be fully usable.

5. Collection of General Data and Information

The website of All Entertainment GmbH collects a series of general data and information with every call of the website by a data subject or an automated system. This general data and information is stored in the server log files. The following may be recorded: (1) browser types and versions used, (2) the operating system used by the accessing system, (3) the website from which an accessing system reaches our website (so-called referrers), (4) the sub-websites which are accessed via an accessing system on our website, (5) the date and time of access to the website, (6) an internet protocol address (IP address), (7) the internet service provider of the accessing system, and (8) other similar data and information that serve to avert danger in case of attacks on our information technology systems.

When using this general data and information, All Entertainment GmbH does not draw any conclusions about the data subject. Rather, this information is needed to (1) correctly deliver the contents of our website, (2) optimize the contents of our website as well as its advertisement, (3) ensure the long-term viability of our information technology systems and website technology, and (4) provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for criminal prosecution in case of a cyber-attack. Therefore, All Entertainment GmbH analyzes anonymously collected data and information statistically, with the aim of increasing the data protection and data security of our enterprise, and to ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data we process. The anonymous data of the server log files are stored separately from all personal data provided by a data subject.

6. Subscription to Our Newsletter

On the website of All Entertainment GmbH, users are given the opportunity to subscribe to our company’s newsletter. The input mask used for this purpose determines what personal data are transmitted to the controller when the newsletter is ordered.

All Entertainment GmbH informs its customers and business partners regularly by means of a newsletter about company offers. The company’s newsletter may only be received by the data subject if (1) the data subject has a valid email address and (2) the data subject registers for the newsletter shipping. A confirmation email will be sent to the email address registered by a data subject for the first time for newsletter shipping, for legal reasons, in the double opt-in procedure. This confirmation email is used to prove whether the owner of the email address as the data subject is authorized to receive the newsletter.

During the registration for the newsletter, we also store the IP address of the computer system assigned by the Internet service provider (ISP) and used by the data subject at the time of the registration, as well as the date and time of the registration. The collection of this data is necessary in order to understand the (possible) misuse of the email address of a data subject at a later date, and it therefore serves the aim of the legal protection of the controller.

The personal data collected as part of a newsletter subscription will be used exclusively for sending our newsletter. Furthermore, newsletter subscribers may be informed via email if this is necessary for the operation of the newsletter service or for a related registration, as might be the case with changes to the newsletter offer or technical changes. Personal data collected as part of the newsletter service will not be shared with third parties. The subscription to our newsletter can be terminated by the data subject at any time. The consent to store personal data that the data subject has given us for the newsletter dispatch can be revoked at any time. For the purpose of revoking consent, a corresponding link can be found in each newsletter. It is also possible to unsubscribe from the newsletter directly on the website of the data controller or to inform the data controller in another way.

7. Newsletter Tracking

The newsletters of All Entertainment GmbH contain so-called tracking pixels. A tracking pixel is a miniature graphic embedded in emails sent in HTML format to enable log file recording and analysis. This allows a statistical evaluation of the success or failure of online marketing campaigns. Based on the embedded tracking pixel, All Entertainment GmbH can recognize if and when an email was opened by a data subject and which links in the email were accessed by the data subject.

Such personal data collected through the tracking pixels contained in the newsletters are stored and analyzed by the data controller to optimize newsletter delivery and better adapt the content of future newsletters to the interests of the data subject. This personal data will not be shared with third parties. Data subjects are entitled at any time to revoke the separate declaration of consent issued via the double opt-in procedure. After a revocation, this personal data will be deleted by the data controller. All Entertainment GmbH automatically interprets an unsubscription from the newsletter as a revocation.

8. Contact Option via the Website

The website of All Entertainment GmbH contains information required by law to enable quick electronic contact with our company, as well as direct communication with us, which also includes a general address for electronic mail (email address). If a data subject contacts the data controller by email or via a contact form, the personal data transmitted by the data subject is automatically stored. Such personal data transmitted on a voluntary basis by a data subject to the data controller is stored for the purpose of processing or contacting the data subject. There is no transfer of this personal data to third parties.

9. Routine Erasure and Blocking of Personal Data

The data controller processes and stores personal data of the data subject only for the period necessary to achieve the purpose of storage, or as far as this is granted by the European legislator or other legislators in laws or regulations to which the data controller is subject.

If the storage purpose is not applicable, or if a storage period prescribed by the European legislator or another competent legislator expires, the personal data is routinely blocked or erased in accordance with legal requirements.

10. Rights of the Data Subject

  • a) Right to Confirmation

    Each data subject shall have the right granted by the European legislator to obtain from the controller confirmation as to whether or not personal data concerning him or her are being processed. If a data subject wishes to avail themselves of this right of confirmation, they may, at any time, contact an employee of the controller.

  • b) Right to Information

    Every person affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European directive and regulation makers to obtain from the controller free information about his or her stored personal data and a copy of this information at any time. Furthermore, the European directive and regulation makers have granted the data subject access to the following information:

    Furthermore, the data subject shall have a right to obtain information as to whether personal data are transferred to a third country or to an international organization. Where this is the case, the data subject shall have the right to be informed of the appropriate safeguards relating to the transfer.

    If a data subject wishes to avail himself of this right of access, he or she may, at any time, contact any employee of the controller.

  • c) Right to Rectification

    Each data subject shall have the right granted by the European legislator to obtain from the controller without undue delay the rectification of inaccurate personal data concerning him or her. Taking into account the purposes of the processing, the data subject shall have the right to have incomplete personal data completed, including by means of providing a supplementary statement.

    If a data subject wishes to exercise this right to rectification, he or she may, at any time, contact any employee of the controller.

  • d) Right to Erasure (Right to be Forgotten)

    Each data subject shall have the right granted by the European legislator to obtain from the controller the erasure of personal data concerning him or her without undue delay, and the controller shall have the obligation to erase personal data without undue delay where one of the following grounds applies, as long as the processing is not necessary:

    • The personal data are no longer necessary in relation to the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed.
    • The data subject withdraws consent to which the processing is based according to point (a) of Article 6(1) of the GDPR, or point (a) of Article 9(2) of the GDPR, and where there is no other legal ground for the processing.
    • The data subject objects to the processing pursuant to Article 21(1) of the GDPR and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing, or the data subject objects to the processing pursuant to Article 21(2) of the GDPR.
    • The personal data have been unlawfully processed.
    • The personal data must be erased for compliance with a legal obligation in Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject.
    • The personal data have been collected in relation to the offer of information society services referred to in Article 8(1) of the GDPR.

    If one of the aforementioned reasons applies, and a data subject wishes to request the erasure of personal data stored by All Entertainment GmbH, he or she may at any time contact any employee of the controller. An employee of All Entertainment GmbH shall promptly ensure that the erasure request is complied with immediately.

    If the personal data has been made public by All Entertainment GmbH and our company is obligated as the controller pursuant to Art. 17 (1) GDPR to erase the personal data, All Entertainment GmbH shall, taking account of available technology and the implementation costs, take reasonable measures, including technical measures, to inform other controllers which are processing the published personal data, that the data subject has requested erasure by such controllers of any links to, or copy or replication of, those personal data, as far as processing is not required. An employee of All Entertainment GmbH shall arrange the necessary in individual cases.

  • e) Right to Restriction of Processing

    Every data subject shall have the right granted by the European legislator to obtain from the controller restriction of processing where one of the following applies:

    • The accuracy of the personal data is contested by the data subject, for a period enabling the controller to verify the accuracy of the personal data.
    • The processing is unlawful and the data subject opposes the erasure of the personal data and requests instead the restriction of their use.
    • The controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of the processing, but they are required by the data subject for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims.
    • The data subject has objected to processing pursuant to Article 21(1) GDPR pending the verification whether the legitimate grounds of the controller override those of the data subject.

    If one of the aforementioned conditions is met, and a data subject wishes to request the restriction of the processing of personal data stored by All Entertainment GmbH, they may at any time contact any employee of the controller. The employee of All Entertainment GmbH will arrange the restriction of the processing.

  • f) Right to Data Portability

    Each data subject shall have the right granted by the European legislator, to receive the personal data concerning him or her, which was provided to a controller, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. He or she shall have the right to transmit those data to another controller without hindrance from the controller to which the personal data have been provided, as long as the processing is based on consent pursuant to point (a) of Article 6(1) of the GDPR or point (a) of Article 9(2) of the GDPR, or on a contract pursuant to point (b) of Article 6(1) of the GDPR, and the processing is carried out by automated means, as long as the processing is not necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller.

    Furthermore, in exercising his or her right to data portability pursuant to Article 20(1) of the GDPR, the data subject shall have the right to have personal data transmitted directly from one controller to another, where technically feasible and when doing so does not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others.

    In order to assert the right to data portability, the data subject may at any time contact any employee of All Entertainment GmbH.

  • g) Right to Object

    Each data subject shall have the right granted by the European legislator to object, on grounds relating to his or her particular situation, at any time, to processing of personal data concerning him or her, which is based on point (e) or (f) of Article 6(1) of the GDPR. This also applies to profiling based on these provisions.

    All Entertainment GmbH shall no longer process the personal data in the event of the objection, unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override the interests, rights and freedoms of the data subject, or for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims.

    If All Entertainment GmbH processes personal data for direct marketing purposes, the data subject has the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data for such marketing. This also applies to profiling insofar as it is related to such direct marketing. If the data subject objects to All Entertainment GmbH processing for direct marketing purposes, All Entertainment GmbH will no longer process the personal data for these purposes.

    In addition, the data subject has the right to object, on grounds relating to his or her particular situation, to the processing of personal data concerning him or her which is carried out by All Entertainment GmbH for scientific or historical research purposes or for statistical purposes pursuant to Art. 89(1) GDPR, unless such processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest.

    To exercise the right to object, the data subject may contact any employee of All Entertainment GmbH or another employee directly. The data subject is also free to exercise his or her right to object by automated means using technical specifications, in the context of the use of information society services, notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC.

  • h) Automated Individual Decision-Making, Including Profiling

    Every data subject shall have the right granted by the European legislators and regulators not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects concerning him or her or similarly significantly affects him or her, unless the decision (1) is necessary for entering into, or performance of, a contract between the data subject and the data controller, or (2) is authorized by Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject and which also lays down suitable measures to safeguard the data subject’s rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, or (3) is based on the data subject’s explicit consent.

    If the decision (1) is necessary for entering into, or performance of, a contract between the data subject and the data controller, or (2) it is based on the data subject’s explicit consent, All Entertainment GmbH shall implement suitable measures to safeguard the data subject’s rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, at least the right to obtain human intervention on the part of the controller, to express his or her point of view and to contest the decision.

    If the data subject wishes to exercise rights relating to automated decision-making, he or she may at any time contact an employee of the controller.

  • i) Right to Withdraw Data Protection Consent

    Each data subject shall have the right granted by the European legislators and regulators to withdraw his or her consent to the processing of his or her personal data at any time.

    If the data subject wishes to exercise the right to withdraw consent, he or she may at any time contact an employee of the controller.

11. Data Protection for Applications and Application Procedures

The data controller collects and processes the personal data of applicants for the purpose of handling the application procedure. The processing may also be carried out electronically. This is particularly the case if an applicant submits corresponding application documents to the data controller by electronic means, for example by e-mail or via a web form on the website. If the data controller concludes an employment contract with an applicant, the transmitted data will be stored for the purpose of processing the employment relationship in compliance with legal requirements. If no employment contract is concluded with the applicant by the data controller, the application documents shall be automatically erased two months after notification of the refusal decision, provided that no other legitimate interests of the data controller oppose the erasure. Other legitimate interest in this sense is, for example, a burden of proof in proceedings under the General Equal Treatment Act (AGG).

12. Data Protection Provisions Concerning the Application and Use of Facebook

The data controller has integrated components of the company Facebook on this website. Facebook is a social network.

A social network is a social meeting place operated on the Internet, an online community that usually allows users to communicate with each other and interact in virtual space. A social network can serve as a platform for exchanging opinions and experiences or allow the Internet community to provide personal or company-related information. Among other things, Facebook allows users of the social network to create private profiles, upload photos, and network through friend requests.

The operating company of Facebook is Facebook, Inc., 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA. If a data subject lives outside the USA or Canada, the controller responsible for processing personal data is Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland.

With each call to one of the individual pages of this website, which is operated by the controller and on which a Facebook component (Facebook plug-in) has been integrated, the internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject is automatically prompted by the respective Facebook component to download a representation of the corresponding Facebook component from Facebook. An overview of all Facebook plug-ins can be accessed at https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/?locale=de_DE. As part of this technical process, Facebook gains knowledge of which specific subpage of our website is visited by the data subject.

If the data subject is simultaneously logged in to Facebook, Facebook recognizes with each call-up to our website by the data subject and for the entire duration of their stay on our website, which specific subpage of our website the data subject visits. This information is collected through the Facebook component and associated with the respective Facebook account of the data subject. If the data subject clicks on one of the Facebook buttons integrated into our website, for example the “Like” button, or if the data subject submits a comment, then Facebook matches this information with the personal Facebook user account of the data subject and stores the personal data.

Facebook always receives information via the Facebook component that the data subject has visited our website when the data subject is logged into Facebook at the same time as calling up our website; this occurs regardless of whether the data subject clicks on the Facebook component or not. If such a transmission of information to Facebook is not desired by the data subject, then he or she can prevent this by logging out of their Facebook account before calling up our website.

The data policy published by Facebook, which is available at https://de-de.facebook.com/about/privacy/, provides information about the collection, processing and use of personal data by Facebook. In addition, it is explained there what setting options Facebook offers to protect the privacy of the data subject. In addition, different applications are available that make it possible to suppress data transmission to Facebook. Such applications can be used by the data subject to suppress data transmission to Facebook.

13. Data Protection Provisions About the Application and Use of Google Analytics (with Anonymization Function)

On this website, the controller has integrated the component of Google Analytics (with the anonymizer function). Google Analytics is a web analytics service. Web analytics is the collection, gathering, and analysis of data about the behavior of visitors to websites. A web analysis service collects, inter alia, data about the website from which a person has come (the so-called referrer), which sub-pages were visited, or how often and for what duration a sub-page was viewed. Web analytics are mainly used for the optimization of a website and in order to carry out a cost-benefit analysis of Internet advertising.

The operator of the Google Analytics component is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland.

For web analysis via Google Analytics, the data controller uses the addition ‘_gat._anonymizeIp’. Through this addition, the IP address of the data subject’s internet connection is shortened and anonymized by Google when accessing our websites from a member state of the European Union or another contracting state to the Agreement on the European Economic Area.

The purpose of the Google Analytics component is to analyze visitor flows on our website. Google uses the data and information obtained, among other things, to evaluate the use of our website, to compile online reports for us showing the activities on our websites, and to provide other services related to the use of our website.

Google Analytics places a cookie on the data subject’s information technology system. Cookies have been explained above. By setting the cookie, Google enables an analysis of the use of our website. With each call-up to one of the individual pages of this website, which is operated by the controller and into which a Google Analytics component was integrated, the Internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject will automatically be prompted by the respective Google Analytics component to transmit data to Google for the purpose of online analysis. As part of this technical procedure, Google gains knowledge of personal data, such as the IP address of the data subject, which serves Google, inter alia, to trace the origin of visitors and clicks and subsequently create commission settlements.

The cookie is used to store personal information, such as the access time, the location from which the access was made, and the frequency of visits to our website by the data subject. With each visit to our websites, such personal data, including the IP address of the Internet access used by the data subject, is transmitted to Google in the United States of America. This personal data is stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may pass on this personal data collected through the technical procedure to third parties.

The data subject can prevent the setting of cookies by our website, as stated above, at any time by means of a corresponding setting of the Internet browser used and thus permanently deny the setting of cookies. Such a setting of the Internet browser used would also prevent Google from placing a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. In addition, a cookie already set by Google Analytics can be deleted at any time via the Internet browser or other software programs.

Furthermore, the data subject has the possibility of objecting to a collection of data that are generated by Google Analytics, which is related to the use of this website, as well as the processing of this data by Google and the chance to preclude any such. For this purpose, the data subject must download a browser add-on under the link https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout and install it. This browser add-on tells Google Analytics through a JavaScript, that any data and information about the visits of Internet pages may not be transmitted to Google Analytics. The installation of the browser add-ons is considered an objection by Google. If the information technology system of the data subject is later deleted, formatted, or newly installed, then the data subject must reinstall the browser add-ons to disable Google Analytics. If the browser add-on was uninstalled by the data subject or any other person who is attributable to their sphere of competence, or is disabled, it is possible to execute the reinstallation or reactivation of the browser add-ons.

Further information and the applicable data protection provisions of Google may be retrieved under https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/ and under http://www.google.com/analytics/terms/de.html. Google Analytics is further explained under this Link https://www.google.com/intl/de_de/analytics/.

14. Data Protection Provisions about the Application and Use of Instagram

On this website, the controller has integrated components of the service Instagram. Instagram is a service that may be qualified as an audiovisual platform, which allows users to share photos and videos, as well as disseminate such data in other social networks.

The operating company for Instagram services is Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2 Ireland.

Each time one of the individual pages of this website, which is operated by the data controller and on which an Instagram component (Insta-Button) has been integrated, is accessed, the Internet browser on the data subject’s information technology system is automatically prompted by the respective Instagram component to download a display of the corresponding Instagram component. As part of this technical process, Instagram gains knowledge of which specific subpage of our website is visited by the data subject.

If the data subject is logged into Instagram at the same time, Instagram recognizes which specific subpage of our website the data subject visits with each visit to our website and for the entire duration of the respective stay on our website. This information is collected by the Instagram component and associated by Instagram with the respective Instagram account of the data subject. If the data subject clicks on one of the Instagram buttons integrated on our website, the data and information transmitted are assigned to the personal Instagram user account of the data subject and stored and processed by Instagram.

Instagram always receives information via the Instagram component that the data subject has visited our website when the data subject is logged into Instagram at the same time as accessing our website; this occurs regardless of whether the data subject clicks on the Instagram component or not. If such a transmission of this information to Instagram is not desired by the data subject, they can prevent the transmission by logging out of their Instagram account before accessing our website.

Further information and the applicable data protection provisions of Instagram can be retrieved under https://help.instagram.com/155833707900388 and https://www.instagram.com/about/legal/privacy/.

15. Data Protection Provisions on the Use and Application of LinkedIn

The data controller has integrated components of the LinkedIn Corporation on this website. LinkedIn is an Internet-based social network that enables users to connect with existing business contacts and to make new business connections. Over 400 million registered persons use LinkedIn in more than 200 countries. This makes LinkedIn currently the largest platform for business contacts and one of the most visited websites in the world.

The operating company of LinkedIn is LinkedIn Corporation, 2029 Stierlin Court Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. For privacy matters outside of the USA, LinkedIn Ireland, Privacy Policy Issues, Wilton Plaza, Wilton Place, Dublin 2, Ireland, is responsible.

With each individual retrieval of our website that is equipped with a LinkedIn component (LinkedIn plug-in), this component causes the browser used by the data subject to download a corresponding display of the component from LinkedIn. Further information about the LinkedIn plug-ins can be accessed under https://developer.linkedin.com/plugins. During the course of this technical procedure, LinkedIn gains knowledge of which specific subpage of our website was visited by the data subject.

If the data subject is logged in at the same time on LinkedIn, LinkedIn detects with every call-up to our website by the data subject – and for the entire duration of their stay on our website – which specific subpage of our Internet site was visited by the data subject. This information is collected through the LinkedIn component and associated with the respective LinkedIn account of the data subject. If the data subject clicks on one of the LinkedIn buttons integrated on our website, LinkedIn assigns this information to the personal LinkedIn user account of the data subject and stores the personal data.

LinkedIn receives information via the LinkedIn component that the data subject has visited our website, provided that the data subject is logged into LinkedIn at the time of the call-up to our website. This occurs regardless of whether the person clicks on the LinkedIn component or not.

16. Privacy Policy for the Use of YouTube

The controller has integrated YouTube components on this website. YouTube is an Internet video portal that allows video publishers to freely post video clips and other users to freely view, rate, and comment on them. YouTube allows the publication of all types of videos, which is why complete film and TV broadcasts, as well as music videos, trailers, or videos made by users themselves can be accessed via the Internet portal.

The operating company of YouTube is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland.

With each call-up to one of the individual pages of this Internet site, which is operated by the controller and on which a YouTube component (YouTube video) was integrated, the Internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject is automatically prompted by the respective YouTube component to download a display of the corresponding YouTube component from YouTube. Further information about YouTube may be obtained under https://www.youtube.com/yt/about/en/. During the course of this technical procedure, YouTube and Google gain knowledge of what specific sub-page of our website was visited by the data subject.

If the data subject is logged in to YouTube, YouTube recognizes with each call-up to a sub-page that contains a YouTube video, which specific sub-page of our Internet site was visited by the data subject. This information is collected by YouTube and Google and assigned to the respective YouTube account of the data subject.

YouTube and Google will receive information through the YouTube component that the data subject has visited our website, if the data subject at the time of the call to our website is logged in to YouTube; this occurs regardless of whether the person clicks on a YouTube video or not. If such a transmission of this information to YouTube and Google is not desirable for the data subject, the delivery may be prevented if the data subject logs off from their own YouTube account before a call-up to our website is made.

YouTube’s data protection provisions, available at https://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy/, provide information about the collection, processing and use of personal data by YouTube and Google.

17. Privacy Policy for the Use of Yumpu

The controller has integrated components of Yumpu (i-magazine AG, Gewerbestrasse 3, 9444 Diepoldsau, CH) on this website. Yumpu provides a digital platform for publishing magazines, brochures or catalogs. Using Yumpu, the content of PDF files is displayed as a so-called flip catalog/flipbook and shown directly in the web browser without loading the PDF files.

Switzerland is recognized by the European Commission under Art 45 GDPR as a state with an adequate level of data protection. Yumpu uses strictly necessary cookies to ensure basic functions of the service. You can always decide against the use of these cookies by adjusting the cookie settings accordingly. The procedure for this varies depending on the browser used. Browsers can be set to reject a certain type of cookies or specific cookies. The browser can also display when a cookie is sent. You can do this by selecting the settings in your web browser according to your cookie preferences. However, you may then have to manually adjust some settings each time you visit a website. This may result in some services and functions not working properly.

Yumpu uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc. (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043, USA). The usage is based on Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. f. GDPR. Google Analytics uses cookies that enable an analysis of your use of the Yumpu service. The information generated by the cookie about your use of the website, such as browser type/version, operating system used, referrer URL (the previously visited page), hostname of the accessing computer (IP address), and time of server request, is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other data from Google. Yumpu has also extended Google Analytics with the code ‘anonymizeIP’. This guarantees the masking of your IP address so that all data is collected anonymously. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there.

Google Analytics Deactivation Link: You can prevent Google from collecting further visits to this website. Note: Deleting cookies, using incognito/private mode of your browser, or using another browser will result in data being collected again. Deactivate Google Analytics.

Log Files Yumpu automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files that your browser automatically transmits. We keep these for up to one month and then they are deleted. These are:

  • Browser type and browser version
  • Operating system used
  • Referrer URL
  • Requested URL
  • Time of the server request
  • IP address

This data is not merged with other data sources. The processing is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest in improving the stability and functionality of the website. The data is not passed on or used in any other way.

18. Data Protection: Social Media Platforms

We offer you online services on various social media platforms to provide information and to be able to contact you. We have no influence on the processing of personal data by the respective platform operator. As a rule, when you visit our social media offerings, cookies are stored in your browser by the platform operator, in which your usage behavior or interests are stored for market research and advertising purposes. The platform operators use the usage profiles obtained to display personalized advertising to you.

This data processing may also affect people who are not registered as users on the respective social media platform. Under certain circumstances, your data may be processed outside the European Union. However, when selecting such social media platforms, we ensure that the operators commit to complying with EU data protection standards.

The processing of your personal data when visiting one of our social media offerings is based on our legitimate interests in a diverse external presentation of our company and the use of an effective information opportunity as well as communication with you.

The legal basis for this is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. In some cases, you may have also given consent to data processing to a platform operator, in which case Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR is the legal basis.

19. Legal Basis for Processing

Art. 6 I lit. a GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing operations where we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose. If the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party, as is the case, for example, when processing operations are necessary for the supply of goods or to provide any other service, the processing is based on Article 6 I lit. b GDPR. The same applies to such processing operations which are necessary for carrying out pre-contractual measures, for example in the case of inquiries concerning our products or services. If our company is subject to a legal obligation by which processing of personal data is required, such as for the fulfillment of tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6 I lit. c GDPR. In rare cases, the processing of personal data may be necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or of another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor were injured in our company and his name, age, health insurance data or other vital information would have to be passed on to a doctor, hospital or other third party. Then the processing would be based on Art. 6 I lit. d GDPR.
Ultimately, processing operations could be based on Article 6 I lit. f GDPR. This legal basis is used for processing operations which are not covered by any of the abovementioned legal grounds, if processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by our company or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject which require protection of personal data. Such processing operations are particularly permissible because they have been specifically mentioned by the European legislator. He considered that a legitimate interest could be assumed if the data subject is a client of the controller (Recital 47 Sentence 2 GDPR).

20. The Legitimate Interests Pursued by the Controller or by a Third Party

Where the processing of personal data is based on Article 6 I lit. f GDPR our legitimate interest is to carry out our business in favor of the well-being of all our employees and the shareholders.

21. Period for Which the Personal Data Will Be Stored

The criteria used to determine the period of storage of personal data is the respective statutory retention period. After expiration of that period, the corresponding data is routinely deleted, as long as it is no longer necessary for the fulfillment of the contract or the initiation of a contract.

22. Provision of Personal Data as Statutory or Contractual Requirement; Requirement Necessary to Enter into a Contract; Obligation of the Data Subject to Provide the Personal Data; Possible Consequences of Failure to Provide Such Data

We clarify that the provision of personal data is partly required by law (e.g. tax regulations) or can also result from contractual provisions (e.g. information on the contractual partner).
Sometimes it may be necessary to conclude a contract that the data subject provides us with personal data, which must subsequently be processed by us. The data subject is, for example, obliged to provide us with personal data when our company signs a contract with him or her. The non-provision of the personal data would have the consequence that the contract with the data subject could not be concluded.
Before personal data is provided by the data subject, the data subject must contact one of our employees. Our employee informs the affected individual on a case-by-case basis whether the provision of personal data is required by law or contract, or necessary for the conclusion of a contract, whether there is an obligation to provide the personal data, and what consequences the non-provision of personal data would have.

23. Existence of Automated Decision-Making

As a responsible company, we refrain from automated decision-making or profiling.
