Privacy statement according to the DSGVO

The protection of personal data is important to us. Therefore, the processing of personal data is carried out in accordance with the applicable European and national laws.

You can of course revoke your consent(s) at any time with effect for the future. Please contact the person responsible according to § 1.

The following statement gives an overview of what kind of data is collected, how this data is used and passed on, what security measures we take to protect your data and how you obtain information about the information given to us.

Legal basis for the processing of personal data

Insofar as we obtain the consent of the data subject for the processing of personal data, Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a) EU Data Protection Ordinance (DSGVO) serves as the legal basis.

In the processing of personal data required for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, Art. 6 para. 1 sentence b) DSGVO serves as the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations that are necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures.

Insofar as the processing of personal data is necessary to fulfil a legal obligation to which we are subject, Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. c) DSGVO serves as the legal basis.

If processing is necessary to protect a legitimate interest of our company or a third party and if the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not outweigh the former interest, Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 letter f) DSGVO serves as the legal basis for processing.

Data erasure and storage time

The personal data of the person concerned will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of storage ceases to apply. Furthermore, data may be stored if this has been provided for by the European or national legislator in EU regulations, laws or other regulations to which we are subject. The data will also be blocked or deleted if a storage period prescribed by the aforementioned standards expires, unless there is a need for further storage of the data for the conclusion or fulfilment of a contract.

§2 Definitions

The data protection declaration is based on the terms used by the European regulator in the adoption of the basic EU data protection regulation (hereinafter referred to as “DSGVO”). The data protection declaration should be easy to read and understand. To ensure this, the most important terms are explained below:

(a) Personal data is any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (hereinafter referred to as “data subject”). Identifiable is a natural person who can be identified directly or indirectly, in particular by assignment to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or one or more special characteristics that express the physical, physiological, genetic, psychological, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person.

(b) Data subject means any identified or identifiable natural person whose personal data are processed by the controller.

(c) Processing means any operation or series of operations carried out with or without the aid of automated procedures relating to personal data, such as the gathering, collection, organisation, classification, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or any other form of provision, comparison or linking, restriction, erasure or destruction.

d) Profiling means any automated processing of personal data consisting in the use of such personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to analyse or predict aspects relating to the work performance, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behaviour, whereabouts or relocation of that natural person.

(e) Pseudonymisation means the processing of personal data in such a way that the personal data can no longer be attributed to a specific data subject without the use of additional information, provided that this additional information is kept separately and is subject to technical and organisational measures to ensure that the personal data are not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.

(f) The responsible or for the processing responsible shall be the natural or legal person, authority, institution or other body which alone or jointly with others decides on the purposes and means of processing personal data. Where the purposes and means of such processing are laid down by Union law or by the law of the Member States, the controller or the specific criteria for his appointment may be laid down in accordance with Union law or the law of the Member States.

(g) “Processor” means a natural or legal person, authority, institution or other body processing personal data on behalf of the data controller.

h) Recipient is a natural or legal person, authority, institution or other body to which personal data is disclosed, irrespective of whether it is a third party or not. However, authorities which may receive personal data under Union law or the law of the Member States within the framework of a particular investigation mandate shall not be regarded as recipients.

(i) A third party is a natural or legal person, authority, institution or other body other than the data subject, the responsible, the data processor and the persons authorised to process the personal data under the direct responsibility of the data processor or the data processor.

(j) Consent shall mean any informed and unequivocal statement of intent, made voluntarily by the data subject in the particular case, in the form of a statement or other clear affirmative act, to which the data subject indicates that he or she agrees to the processing of personal data concerning him or her.

§3 Provision of the website and creation of log files

§5 Newsletter

(1) With your consent you can subscribe to our free newsletter, with which we inform you about our current interesting offers. The advertised goods and services are named in the declaration of consent.

For the registration to our newsletter we use the so-called double opt-in procedure. This means that after your registration we will send you an e-mail to the specified e-mail address in which we ask you to confirm that you would like the newsletter to be sent. In addition, we store your IP addresses and the time of registration and confirmation. The purpose of the procedure is to be able to prove your registration and, if necessary, to clarify a possible misuse of your personal data.

The only mandatory information for sending the newsletter is your e-mail address. Providing other data is voluntary and will be used to contact you personally.

The data will be used exclusively for sending the newsletter.

(2) The collection of the user’s e-mail address serves to deliver the newsletter.

The collection of other personal data as part of the registration process serves to prevent misuse of the services or the e-mail address used.

(3) The data will be deleted as soon as they are no longer necessary to achieve the purpose for which they were collected. Your e-mail address will therefore be stored for as long as the subscription to the newsletter is active.

(4) You can cancel the receipt of our newsletters at any time and thus revoke your consent by clicking on the field “Unsubscribe newsletter” in our newsletter unsubscriber or by sending us an e-mail to info@hotel-schillingshof.com or a message to the contact data stated in the imprint.

This also makes it possible to revoke the consent to the storage of personal data collected during the registration process.

§6 Registration

(1) We offer you the opportunity to register on our website by providing personal data. This is done by making an online reservation. The data is entered into an input mask and transmitted to us and saved. A passing on of this data to third parties does not take place in principle, provided that no legal obligation exists for passing on or the passing on serves the criminal or legal prosecution. Excluded from this is the necessary forwarding of data to our reservation system DIRS 21 and Infor.

The following data is collected during the registration process:

e-mail address
Full name
Address
Choice of room type
number of persons, for children also the age
Telephone number
IP address
the date and time of registration

We use the double opt-in procedure for registration. This means that we will send you an e-mail to the specified e-mail address after your reservation. In addition, we store your IP addresses and the time of registration and confirmation. The purpose of the procedure is to be able to prove your registration and, if necessary, to clarify a possible misuse of your personal data.

(3) If the user has given his or her consent, the legal basis for the processing of the data is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a) DSGVO.

If the purpose of registration is to fulfil a contract to which you are a party or to carry out pre-contractual measures, the additional legal basis for processing the data is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b) DSGVO.

(4) …..A registration is necessary for the fulfilment of the contract and/or for the implementation of pre-contractual measures.

The data will be deleted as soon as they are no longer necessary to achieve the purpose for which they were collected.

This is the case for those during the registration process to fulfill a contract or to carry out pre-contractual measures when the data is no longer required for the execution of the contract. Even after conclusion of the contract, there may be a need to store personal data of the contractual partner in order to comply with contractual or legal obligations. Perpetual obligations require the storage of personal data during the term of the contract. In addition, warranty periods must be observed and the storage of data for tax purposes. Which storage periods are to be observed cannot be determined across-the-board, but must be determined for the contracts and contractual parties concluded in each individual case.

(5) …If the data are required for the fulfilment of a contract or for the implementation of pre-contractual measures, premature deletion of the data is only possible insofar as contractual or statutory obligations do not prevent deletion.

Otherwise, you are free to have the personal data provided during registration completely deleted from the database of the data controller. The controller will inform you at any time upon request which personal data relating to the data subject are stored. Furthermore, the controller shall correct or delete personal data at the request or notice of the data subject, provided that there is no legal obligation to keep such data in safekeeping. You can contact the person responsible or the data protection officer pursuant to § 1 at any time by e-mail or post and ask for deletion/modification of the data.

§7 E-commerce

(1) If you wish to book a room through our online reservation service, you will be required to provide the personal information we require to process your order. Required information for the execution of the contracts are marked separately, further information is voluntary. The data is entered into an input mask and transmitted to us and saved. The following data is collected as part of the online reservation:

e-mail address
Full name
Address
Choice of room type
number of persons, for children also the age
Telephone number
IP address
the date and time of registration

A passing on of the data to third parties only, if the passing on is necessary for the purpose of the contract winding up or for account purposes and/or for the collection of the payment or you have expressly consented. In this regard, we only pass on the data required in each case. The data recipients are

our reservation system DIRS 21 and Infor

(3) The legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b) DS-GMO. With regard to voluntary data, the legal basis for the processing of the data is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a) DSGVO.

(4) The information collected is required for the fulfilment of the contract with the user (for sending the goods and confirming the contents of the contract). We therefore use the data to answer your inquiries, to process your order, if necessary to check the creditworthiness or recovery of a claim and for the purpose of technical administration of the websites. The voluntary information was provided to prevent misuse and, if necessary, to investigate criminal offences. We may also process the information you provide to inform you of other interesting products in our portfolio or to send you e-mails containing technical information.

(5) The data will be deleted as soon as they are no longer necessary to achieve the purpose for which they were collected. Due to commercial and tax regulations, we are obliged to store your address, payment and order data for a period of ten years after execution of the contract. i.e. your data will only be used to comply with legal obligations. If there is a continuing obligation between us and the user, we store the data for the entire term of the contract and for ten years thereafter.

If the data is required to fulfil a contract or to carry out pre-contractual measures, premature deletion of the data is only possible insofar as there are no contractual or statutory obligations to the contrary.

Otherwise, you are free to have the personal data provided during registration completely deleted from the database of the data controller. The data controller will inform you at any time upon request which personal data about you is stored. Furthermore, the controller shall correct or delete personal data at the request or notice of the data subject, provided that there is no legal obligation to keep such data in safekeeping. You can contact the person responsible or the data protection officer pursuant to § 1 at any time by e-mail or post and ask for deletion/modification of the data.

§8 Disclosure of personal data to third parties

1.1. Embedding YouTube videos

1 (1) 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. These are all integrated in the “extended data protection mode”, i.e. no data about you as a user will be transmitted to YouTube if you do not play the videos. Only when you play the videos will the data referred to in paragraph 2 be transmitted. We have no influence on this data transmission. By visiting the website, YouTube receives the information that you have accessed the corresponding subpage of our website.

The following data is transmitted

Device-specific information, such as the hardware used; the version of the operating system; unique device identification and information about the mobile network including your telephone number.
log data in the form of server logs. These include, but are not limited to, details of how the services were used, such as search queries; IP address; hardware settings; browser type; browser language; date and time of your request; source page; cookies that uniquely identify your browser or Google Account.
Location-related information. Google may collect information about your actual location. These include, for example, your IP address, your WLAN access points or mobile phone masts.
Further information on the data collected by Google, INC can be found under the following link: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en&gl=en

This is independent of whether YouTube provides a user account through which you are logged in or whether no user account exists. If you are logged in to Google, your information will be directly associated with your account.

1 (2) The legal basis for processing the personal data of users is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f) DSGVO. Google also processes your personal data in the USA.

1 (3) The integration of the videos serves to make the website clearer for the user and to increase the search engine ranking of the website on Google. YouTube stores your data as user profiles and uses them for purposes of advertising, market research and/or demand-oriented design of its website. Such 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 your activities on our website.

1 (4) If you do not wish to be associated with your profile on YouTube, you must log out before activating the button.

1 (5) You have a right of objection to the creation of these user profiles, whereby you must contact YouTube to exercise this right.

1 (6) Further information on the purpose and scope of data collection and processing by YouTube can be found in the privacy policy. There you will also find further information about your rights and setting options to protect your privacy:https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy.

1 (7) Links to external websites

This website contains links to external sites. We are responsible for our own content. We have no influence over the contents of external links and are therefore not responsible for them, in particular we do not adopt their contents as our own. If you are directed to an external site, the data protection declaration provided there applies. If you notice any illegal activities or contents on this page, you are welcome to inform us. In this case we will check the content and react accordingly (notice and take down procedure).

§9 Contact form and e-mail contact

1 (1) A contact form is available on our website which can be used for electronic contact. If you take advantage of this option, the data entered in the input mask will be transmitted to us and saved. This data is:

Full name
Full address
Email Address
Phone number…..

At the time the message is sent, the following data is also stored:

IP address of the user
the date and time of registration

Your consent is obtained for the processing of the data within the scope of the sending process and reference is made to this data protection declaration.

Alternatively, you can contact us via the e-mail address provided. In this case, the personal data transmitted with the e-mail will be stored.

If this involves information on communication channels (e.g. e-mail address, telephone number), you also agree that we may contact you via this communication channel in order to respond to your request.

In this context, the data will not be passed on to third parties. The data is used exclusively for processing the conversation.

1 (2) If the user has given his or her consent, the legal basis for the processing of the data is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence a) DSGVO. The legal basis for the processing of data transmitted in the course of sending an e-mail is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 letter f) DSGVO. If the e-mail contact aims at the conclusion of a contract, then additional legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 Abs. 1S. 1 lit. b) DSGVO.

1 (3) The processing of personal data from the input mask serves us solely to process the establishment of contact. The data from your e-mail enquiries will of course only be used for the purpose for which you made them available to us when contacting us. If contact is made by e-mail, the necessary legitimate interest in the processing of the data also lies in its reply. The other personal data processed during the sending process serve to prevent misuse of the contact form and to ensure the security of our information technology systems.

1 (4) The data will be deleted as soon as they are no longer necessary to achieve the purpose for which they were collected. For the personal data from the input mask of the contact form and those that were sent by e-mail, this is the case when the respective conversation with the user is finished. The conversation is terminated when it can be inferred from the circumstances that the facts in question have been finally clarified.

1 (5) You have the possibility to revoke your consent to the processing of your personal data at any time. If you contact us by e-mail, you can object to the storage of your personal data at any time. In such a case, the conversation cannot be continued. Regarding the revocation of the consent / objection of storage, we ask you to contact the person responsible or the data protection officer according to § 1 via e-mail or by post. All personal data stored in the course of contacting us will be deleted in this case.

§10 Web analysis by Google Analytics (with pseudonymisation)

On our website we use the service of Google Inc. (Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043, USA) to analyse the surfing behaviour of our users. The software sets a cookie on your computer (for cookies see § 4). If individual pages of our website are called up, the following data is stored:

Two bytes of the IP address of the calling system of the user
The accessed website
Entry pages, exit pages,
The time spent on the website and the abort rate
The frequency of visiting the website

The information generated by the cookie about the use of this website by the user is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. This website uses Google Analytics with the extension “_anonymizeIp()”. The software is set up in such a way that the IP addresses are not stored completely, but only in abbreviated form. In this way, it is no longer possible to assign the shortened IP address to the calling computer. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transferred to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. However, the IP address transmitted by your browser within the scope of Google Analytics is not merged with other Google data.

The legal basis for the processing of personal data is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a) DSGVO.

On our behalf, Google will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of the website and compiling reports on website activity. By evaluating the data obtained, we are able to compile information on the use of the individual components of our website. This helps us to constantly improve our website and its user-friendliness.

The data is deleted as soon as it is no longer required for our recording purposes. In our case this is after 18 months.

The cookies used are stored on your computer and transmitted from there to our website. If you do not agree with the collection and evaluation of the usage data, you can prevent this by adjusting your browser software accordingly, by deactivating or restricting the use of cookies. Cookies already stored can be deleted at any time. However, in this case it is possible that you may not be able to use all the functions of this website to their full extent. You can also prevent the collection of the data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) to Google and the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at the following link The current link is: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de.

§11 Social Media Plugins

1.1. Facebook

1 (1) Social plugins of the social network Facebook (Facebook, 1601 South California Avenue, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA) are used on these pages. This plugin allows you to bookmark these pages and share them with other members of the social network. You can recognize this plugin by the Facebook logo or the typical “Like button”. An overview of the Facebook plugins can be found at http://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/.

1 (2) We use the so-called two-click solution. This means that when you visit our site, no personal data is initially passed on to Facebook. We offer you the possibility to communicate directly with Facebook via the button. Only if you click on the marked field and thereby activate it, Facebook will receive the information that you have accessed the corresponding website of our online offer.

Data sharing is independent of whether you have a Facebook account and are logged in.

a) If you click the Facebook “Like” button while logged into your Facebook account, the content of these pages can also be linked to your Facebook profile. In this case, Facebook may also associate the visit to these pages with your user account. If you click the activated button and, for example, link to the page, Facebook also stores this information in your user account and shares it publicly with your contacts. We recommend that you log out regularly after using a social network, especially before activating the button, as this way you can avoid being assigned to your profile.

b) If you are not a member of Facebook or have logged out of Facebook before visiting this page, it is still possible for Facebook to obtain and store your IP address. If you do not want Facebook to associate your visit to our pages with your Facebook account, you must log out of Facebook before visiting our website or you must not activate the plugin.

In principle, the following data is transmitted to Facebook:

Browser-related data such as IP address, browser type, operating system, time and date of the request, website visited.
User ID (if you have a Facebook account)

According to Facebook, the IP addresses in Germany will be made anonymous immediately after collection. By activating the plugin, your personal data will be transmitted to Facebook and stored in the USA. Since Facebook collects data primarily via cookies, we recommend that you delete all cookies before clicking on the grayed-out box using your browser’s security settings.

1 (3) We have no influence on the data collected and data processing processes, nor are we aware of the full extent of data collection, the purposes of processing, the storage periods. We also have no information on how Facebook deletes the data collected.

1 (4) Facebook stores the data collected about you as user profiles and uses these for the purposes of advertising, market research and/or demand-oriented design of its website. Such an evaluation takes place in particular (also for not logged in users) for the representation of demand-fair advertisement and in order to inform other users of the social network about your activities on our website. Through the plugins we offer you the possibility to interact with social networks and other users, so that we can improve our offer and make it more interesting for you as a user.

1 (5) The legal basis for the use of the plugins is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a DS-GVO.

1 (6) You have a right of objection to the creation of these user profiles, and you must contact Facebook to exercise this right.

1 (7) Settings and objections to the use of data for advertising purposes are possible within the Facebook profile settings at https://www.facebook.com/settings?tap=ads. For more information about the purpose and scope of data collection and processing and your respective rights towards and by Facebook, please visit http://www.facebook.com/policy.php, http://www.facebook.com/help/186325668085084, http://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/your-info-on-other#applications and http://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/your-info#everyoneinfo.

1 (8)We use Facebook pixels from Facebook on our website. We have implemented a code for this on our website. The Facebook pixel is an excerpt of JavaScript code that loads a collection of functions with which Facebook can track your user actions, if you came to our website via Facebook ads. For example, when you purchase a product on our website, the Facebook pixel is triggered and stores your actions on our website in one or more cookies. These cookies enable Facebook to compare your user data (customer data such as IP address, user ID) with the data of your Facebook account. Then Facebook deletes this data again. The collected data is anonymous and cannot be viewed by us and is only used for advertising purposes. If you yourself are a Facebook user and are logged in, your visit to our website is automatically assigned to your Facebook user account.
We only want to show our services or products to people who are really interested in them. With the help of Facebook pixels, our advertising measures can be better tailored to your wishes and interests. This way, Facebook users (provided they have allowed personalized advertising) can see suitable ads. Furthermore, Facebook uses the collected data for analysis purposes and its own advertisements.
In the following, we show you those cookies that were set by including Facebook pixels on a test page. Please note that these are only sample cookies. Different cookies are set depending on the interaction on our website.

1.2. Google+1

(1) On these pages social plugins from Google+1 of Google Inc. (Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway Monutain View, CA 94043, USA) are used. This plugin allows you to bookmark these pages and share them with other members of the social network. The plugin can be recognized by the “+1” character. An overview of the Google plugins and their appearance can be found here: https://developers.google.com/+/web/.

1 (2) We use the so-called two-click solution. This means that when you visit our site, no personal data is initially passed on to Google. We offer you the possibility to communicate directly with Google via the button. Only if you click on the marked field and activate it, Google will be informed that you have accessed the corresponding website of our online offer.

If you click the “+1” button while logged into your Google account, the content of these pages can also be linked to your Google profile. In this case, Google may also associate your visit to these pages with your user account. If you click the activated button and, for example, link to the page, Google will also store this information in your user account and share it publicly with your contacts. We recommend that you log out regularly after using a social network, especially before activating the button, as this way you can avoid being assigned to your profile.

In principle, the following data is transmitted to Google:

Device-specific information, such as the hardware used; the version of the operating system; unique device identification and information about the mobile network including your telephone number.
Log data in the form of server logs. These include, but are not limited to, details of how the services were used, such as search queries; IP address; hardware settings; browser type; browser language; date and time of your request; source page; cookies that uniquely identify your browser or Google Account.
Location-related information. Google may collect information about your actual location. These include, for example, your IP address, your WLAN access points or mobile phone masts.
Further information on the data collected by Google, INC can be found under the following link: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en&gl=en

By activating the plugin, your personal data will be transmitted to Google and stored in the USA. Since Google collects data mainly via cookies, we recommend that you delete all cookies before clicking on the grayed-out box using your browser’s security settings.

1 (4) Google stores the data collected about you as user profiles and uses these for the purposes of advertising, market research and/or demand-oriented design of its website and, if necessary, for passing on to partner companies. Such an evaluation takes place in particular (also for not logged in users) for the representation of demand-fair advertisement and in order to inform other users of the social network about your activities on our website. Through the plugins we offer you the possibility to interact with social networks and other users, so that we can improve our offer and make it more interesting for you as a user.

1 (5) The legal basis for the use of the plugins is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f DS-GMO.

1 (6) You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles, and you must contact Google to exercise this right.

1 (7) Further information on the purpose and scope of data collection and processing as well as on your respective rights by and vis-à-vis Google is available at https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners/?hl=en.

1 (8) For our website we use the Google Tag Manager of the company Google Inc. For the European area the company Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street Dublin 4, Ireland) is responsible for all Google services. This tag manager is one of many helpful marketing products from Google. The Google Tag Manager allows us to centrally install and manage code sections of various tracking tools we use on our website.
In this privacy statement, we’ll explain in more detail what Google Tag Manager does, why we use it, and how we process information.
What is the Google Tag Manager?
The Google Tag Manager is an organization tool that allows us to centrally integrate and manage website tags through a single interface. Tags are small sections of code that, for example, record (track) your activities on our website. For this purpose JavaScript code sections are inserted into the source code of our website. The tags often come from Google internal products such as Google Ads or Google Analytics, but tags from other companies can also be integrated and managed via the manager. Such tags take over different tasks. They can collect browser data, feed marketing tools with data, integrate buttons, set cookies and also track users across multiple websites.
Why do we use the Google Tag Manager for our website?
As they say: Organization is half the battle! And that of course also applies to the maintenance of our website. To make our website as good as possible for you and all people interested in our products and services, we need various tracking tools such as Google Analytics. The data collected by these tools show us what interests you most, where we can improve our services and to which people we should still show our offers. And for this tracking to work, we have to integrate appropriate JavaScript codes into our website. Basically we could integrate each code section of the individual tracking tools separately into our source code. However, this requires a relatively large amount of time and it is easy to lose track. Therefore we use the Google Tag Manager. We can easily integrate the necessary scripts and manage them from one place. In addition, the Google Tag Manager offers an easy-to-use interface and no programming skills are required. This is how we manage to keep order in our tag jungle.
What data is stored by Google Tag Manager?
The Tag Manager itself is a domain that does not set any cookies or store any data. It acts as a mere “manager” of the implemented tags. The data captures the individual tags of the different web analysis tools. The data is virtually routed through the Google Tag Manager to the individual tracking tools and not stored.
However, the situation is completely different with the tags of the various web analysis tools, such as Google Analytics. Depending on the analysis tool, different data about your web behaviour is usually collected, saved and processed with the help of cookies. To do this, please read our data protection texts on the individual analysis and tracking tools that we use on our website.
In the account settings of the Tag Manager we have allowed Google to receive anonymized data from us. However, this only concerns the use and usage of our Tag Manager and not your data, which is stored via the code sections. We allow Google and others to receive selected data in anonymized form. We thus agree to the anonymous transfer of our website data. We were not able to find out exactly which summarized and anonymous data is forwarded – despite long research. In any case, Google will delete all information that could identify our website. Google combines the data with hundreds of other anonymous website data and creates user trends as part of benchmarking measures. In benchmarking, we compare our own results with those of our competitors. Based on the collected information, processes can be optimized.
How long and where is the data stored?
When Google stores data, this data is stored on its own Google servers. The servers are distributed all over the world. Most are located in America. At https://www.google.com/about/datacenters/inside/locations/?hl=de you can find out exactly where the Google servers are located.

1(9)We use Google Ads (formerly Google AdWords) as an online marketing measure to promote our products and services. In this way we want to make more people aware of the high quality of our offers on the Internet. As part of our advertising activities through Google Ads, we use conversion tracking from Google Inc. on our website, but in Europe, all Google services are provided by Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street Dublin 4, Ireland). This free tracking tool allows us to better tailor our advertising offer to your interests and needs. In the following articles, we’ll go into more detail about why we use conversion tracking, what data is stored and how you can prevent it.
What is Google Ads Conversion Tracking?
Google Ads (formerly Google AdWords) is the in-house online advertising system of Google Inc. We are convinced of the quality of our offer and want as many people as possible to get to know our website. In the online area, Google Ads offers the best platform for this. Of course, we also want to get an exact overview of the cost-benefit factor of our advertising campaigns. Therefore we use the conversion tracking tool of Google Ads.
But what is a conversion actually? A conversion occurs when you go from being a purely interested website visitor to an acting visitor. This happens whenever you click on our ad and then perform another action, such as visiting our website. With Google’s conversion tracking tool, we record what happens after a user clicks on our Google Ads ad. For example, we can see if products are purchased, services are used or if users have subscribed to our newsletter.
Why do we use Google Ads conversion tracking on our website?
We use Google Ads to promote our offer on other websites. The goal is to ensure that our advertising campaigns really only reach those people who are interested in our offers. With the conversion tracking tool we see which keywords, ads, ad groups and campaigns lead to the desired customer actions. We see how many customers interact with our ads on a device and then make a conversion. With this data we can calculate our cost-benefit factor, measure the success of individual advertising measures and consequently optimize our online marketing measures. Furthermore, we can use the data obtained to make our website more interesting for you and adapt our advertising offer even more individually to your needs.
What data is stored by Google Ads Conversion-Tracking?
We have included a conversion tracking tag or code snippet on our website in order to better analyze certain user actions. If you now click on one of our Google Ads ads, the “conversion” cookie from a Google domain is stored on your computer (usually in the browser) or mobile device. Cookies are small text files that store information on your computer.
Here are the data of the most important cookies for Google’s conversion tracking:
Name: Conversion
Value: EhMI_aySuoyv4gIVled3Ch0llweVGAEgt-mr6aXd7dYlSAGQ311200600-3
Purpose: This cookie stores every conversion you make on our site after you have come to us via a Google Ad.
Expiration date: after 3 months
Name: _gac
Value: 1.1558695989.EAIaIQobChMIiOmEgYO04gIVj5AYCh2CBAPrEAAYASAAEgIYQfD_BwE
Purpose: This is a classic Google Analytics cookie and is used to record various actions on our website.
Expiration date: after 3 months
Note: The _gac cookie only appears in connection with Google Analytics. The above list does not claim to be complete, as Google always uses other cookies for analytical evaluation.
As soon as you complete an action on our website, Google recognizes the cookie and saves your action as a so-called conversion. As long as you are surfing on our website and the cookie has not expired, we and Google recognize that you have found us through our Google Ads display. The cookie is read and sent back to Google Ads with the conversion data. It is also possible that other cookies are used to measure conversions. The conversion tracking of Google Ads can be further refined and improved using Google Analytics. For ads that Google displays in multiple locations on the web, our domain may set cookies named “__gads” or “_gac”. Since September 2017, various campaign information has been stored by analytics.js with the _gac cookie. The cookie saves this data as soon as you visit one of our pages for which Google Ads has set up automatic tagging. In contrast to cookies that are set for Google domains, Google can only read these conversion cookies if you are on our website. We do not collect or receive any personal data. We receive a report with statistical evaluations from Google. For example, we find out the total number of users who clicked on our advertisement and we see which advertising measures were well received.
How long and where is the data stored?
At this point we would like to point out that we have no influence on how Google uses the collected data. According to Google, the data is encrypted and stored on secure servers. In most cases, conversion cookies expire after 30 days and do not transmit any personal data. The cookies named “Conversion” and “_gac” (which is used in connection with Google Analytics) have an expiration date of 3 months.
How can I delete my data or prevent data storage?
You have the option of not participating in Google Ads conversion tracking. If you disable the Google Conversion Tracking cookie through your browser, you are blocking conversion tracking. In this case, you will not be included in the tracking tool’s statistics. You can change the cookie settings in your browser at any time. Each browser works slightly differently.
If you do not wish to receive cookies, you can set up your browser so that it always informs you when a cookie is to be set. In this way, you can decide for each individual cookie whether you want to allow it or not. Downloading and installing this browser plug-in on https://support.google.com/ads/answer/7395996 will also deactivate all “advertising cookies”. Please note that by deactivating these cookies you do not prevent the advertising, but only the personalized advertising.

§12 Use of script libraries

In order to present our contents correctly and graphically appealing across all browsers, we use script libraries and font libraries such as www.fonts.com (https://www.fonts.com/) on this website.

fonts.com web fonts are transferred to your browser’s cache to avoid multiple loading. If the browser does not support fonts.com web fonts or does not allow access, content is displayed in a default font.

Calling script libraries or font libraries automatically triggers a connection to the library operator. In theory, it is possible – but currently also unclear whether and, if so, for what purposes – that operators of corresponding libraries collect data.
