You can use the so-called single sign-on technology to log in if you already have a Facebook account. You can recognise the social plug-ins of “Facebook Connect” on our website by the blue button with the Facebook logo and the sign “Mit Facebook anmelden” or “Connect with Facebook”or “Log in with Facebook” or “Sign in with Facebook”.
If you open a page of our website and it contains such a plug-in, your browser will establish a direct connection to the servers of Facebook. The content of the plug-in is transmitted directly from Facebook to your browser and integrated into the page. By means of this integration, Facebook receives the information from the website page that your browser opened, even if you do not have a Facebook profile or are not currently logged-in to your Facebook account. This information, including your IP address, is transmitted from your browser directly to a Facebook server in the USA and stored there. These data processing operations are carried out in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit f EU GDPR on the basis of the legitimate interest of Facebook in providing you with personalized advertizing based on your surfing behaviour.
By using this “Facebook Connect” button on our website you also have the possibility of logging in or registering on our website via your Facebook user data.

This information includes the user ID, the name, the profile picture, the age and the gender.
We would like to point out that, after changes in the privacy policy and the terms of use of Facebook, by giving consent it might also result in the transfer of your profile pictures as well as the user IDs of your friends and the friends list if these are marked as “public” in your privacy settings. The data transmitted by Facebook will be stored by us in order to create a user account with the necessary data and processed, if they were released by you on Facebook (title, first name, surname, address data, country, email address, date of birth).

For the purpose of evaluation, the emails contain so-called web beacons or tracking pixels which are one pixel image files which are stored on our website. These can be used to determine whether a newsletter message has been opened and which links have been clicked. With the help of so-called conversion tracking, it is also possible to analyse whether a pre-defined action has taken place after a link in the newsletter has been clicked. In addition, technical information is also collected (e.g. time of retrieval, IP address, browser type and operating system). The data is gathered pseudonymised and are not linked to your other personal data. A direct link to a specific individual is excluded. This data is used exclusively for the statistical analysis of newsletter campaigns. The results of these analyses can be used to adapt future newsletters better to the interests of the recipients.

We have concluded an order processing contract with CleverReach which obliges CleverReach to protect the data of our customers and not to pass them on to third parties.
