Data Protection Declaration
We greatly welcome your interest in our company. Data protection is a top priority for the management of HJP Immobilien GmbH. The internet pages of HJP Immobilien GmbH can, in principle, be accessed without disclosing any personal data. However, if a data subject wishes to make use of special services provided by our company via our website, processing of personal data may be required. If the processing of personal data is necessary and there is no legal basis for such processing, we generally obtain the consent of the data subject.
Personal data, such as the name, address, e-mail address and telephone number of a data subject, shall always be processed in accordance with the European General Data Protection Regulation and in compliance with the country-specific data protection regulations applicable to HJP Immobilien GmbH. With this Data Protection Declaration, our company seeks to provide the public with information on the nature, scope and purpose of the personal data collected, used and processed by us. Furthermore, this Data Protection Declaration informs data subjects of their rights.
As the controller, HJP Immobilien GmbH has put in place numerous technical and organisational measures to ensure the most complete protection of personal data processed via this website. Nevertheless, internet-based data transmission can in principle present security gaps, meaning that absolute security cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, every data subject is free to transmit personal data to us by alternative means, for instance over the telephone.
1. Definitions
The Data Protection Declaration of HJP Immobilien GmbH uses the terms and definitions applied by the European Legislator and Regulator when issuing the European General Data Protection Regulation (EU GDPR). Our Data Protection Declaration is designed to be easy to read and understand for both the general public and our customers and business partners. To ensure this, we wish to explain in advance the terminology used.
In this Data Protection Declaration, we use the following terms, among others:
a) personal data
Personal data means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (hereinafter ‘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 means any identified or identifiable natural person whose personal data are processed by the controller.
c) processing
Processing means 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, organisation, 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 means 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 analyse or predict aspects concerning that natural person’s performance at work, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behaviour, location or movements.
f) pseudonymisation
Pseudonymisation means 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 organisational measures to ensure that the personal data are not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.
g) controller
Controller means 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.

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
Third party means 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 authorised 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 they, by a statement or by a clear affirmative action, signify agreement to the processing of personal data relating to them.

3. Cookies
The website of HJP Immobilien GmbH uses cookies. These are text files that are stored on a computer system via an internet browser.
Numerous internet pages and servers use cookies. Many cookies contain a so-called cookie ID. This is a unique cookie identifier consisting of a string of characters by which internet pages and servers can be assigned to the specific internet browser in which the cookie was stored. This enables the internet pages and servers visited to distinguish the individual browser of the person concerned from other internet browsers that contain other cookies. A specific internet browser can be recognised and identified via a unique cookie ID.
Through the use of cookies, HJP Immobilien GmbH is able to provide the users of this website with more user-friendly services, which would not be possible without setting cookies.
By setting cookies, the information and offers on our website can be optimised for the benefit of the user. As already mentioned, cookies enable us to recognise the users of our website. The purpose of this recognition is to make it easier for users to navigate our website. For instance, users of a website that contains cookies do not have to re-enter their access data each time they visit the website as this is done by the website and the cookie stored on the user's computer system. Another example is the cookie of a shopping basket in an online shop. This cookie enables the online shop to keep track of the items a customer has placed in their virtual shopping basket.
The data subject can prevent the setting of cookies by our website at any time by making adjustments to the settings of the internet browser used, and can thus permanently disable cookies. Furthermore, cookies that have already been set can be deleted at any time via an internet browser or other software programmes. This is possible in all standard internet browsers. If the data subject deactivates cookies in the internet browser used, they may not be able to use all features of our website to their full extent.
4. Recording of general data and information
The website of HJP Immobilien GmbH records a set of general data and information each time a data subject or automated system calls up the website. This general data and information is stored in the log files of the server. The following data may be recorded: (1) the browser types and versions used, (2) the operating system used by the accessing system, (3) the website from which a system accesses our website (so-called referrer), (4) the sub-websites accessed on our website via an accessing system, (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 ward off danger in the event of attacks on our information technology systems.
When processing this general data and information, HJP Immobilien GmbH is not able to make any inferences about the data subject. Rather, this information is needed to (1) deliver the contents of our website correctly, (2) optimise the contents and marketing of our website, (3) ensure the long-term functionality of our information technology systems and the technology of our website, and (4) provide law enforcement authorities with the information required for prosecution in the event of a cyberattack. For this reason, HJP Immobilien GmbH analyses data and information, which has been collected anonymously, both for statistical purposes and for the purpose of increasing data protection and data security within our company. The ultimate aim is to ensure an optimal level of protection of the personal data we process. The anonymous data of server log files are stored separately from any personal data provided by data subjects.
5. Registering on our website
The data subject can register on the website of the controller by disclosing personal data. The personal data thus transmitted to the controller is indicated in the respective input mask used for registering. The personal data entered by the data subject are collected and stored by the controller exclusively for internal use and purposes . The controller may arrange for the data to be transferred to one or more processors, for instance a parcel service provider, who shall likewise use the personal data exclusively for internal use attributable to the controller.
By registering on the website of the controller, the IP address assigned by the internet service provider (ISP) of the data subject as well as the date and time of registration are also stored. This data is stored in view of the fact that this is the only way to prevent misuse of our services and, if necessary, to enable us to resolve criminal offences that have been committed. In this respect, storage of this data is necessary for the protection of the controller. These data are, in principle, not disclosed to third parties, except where there is a legal obligation to disclose them or where their disclosure is required in the context of criminal proceedings.
The controller shall provide all data subjects upon request, and at any time, with information on their personal data stored. Furthermore, the controller shall correct or erase personal data at the request or indication of the data subject, provided that this does not conflict with any statutory retention obligations. In this context, a data protection officer named in this Data Protection Declaration as well as the entire staff of the controller are available to the data subject as contact persons.
6. Subscribing to our newsletter
On the website of HJP Immobilien GmbH, users are given the possibility to subscribe to our company newsletter. The personal data transmitted to the controller when subscribing to the newsletter will be specified in the input mask used for this purpose.
HJP Immobilien GmbH regularly informs its customers and business partners about offers of the company by means of a newsletter. In principle, the data subject can only receive our company newsletter if (1) the data subject has a valid e-mail address and (2) the data subject subscribes to receiving our newsletter via e-mail. For legal reasons, a confirmation e-mail shall be sent to the
e-mail address registered for the first time by a data subject to receive the newsletter using the double opt-in procedure. This confirmation e-mail serves to verify whether the e-mail account holder, as data subject, has authorised the receipt of the newsletter.
When registering for the newsletter, we shall 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 registration, as well as the date and time of registration. Collection of this data is necessary in order to be able to track the (potential) misuse of a data subject's e-mail address at a later point in time, and therefore serves as a legal safeguard for the controller.
The personal data collected when registering for our newsletter shall be used exclusively for the purpose of mailing our newsletter. Furthermore, subscribers to our newsletter could receive information by e-mail if this is required for operating the newsletter service or subscribing, as could be the case in the event of changes to the newsletter service or technical conditions. No personal data collected as part of the newsletter service shall be disclosed to third parties. The subscription to our newsletter can be cancelled by the data subject at any time. Data subjects may withdraw their consent given to store their personal data for the purpose of receiving the newsletter at any time. For the purpose of withdrawing your consent, a corresponding link will be included in each newsletter. Furthermore, it is also possible to unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time, directly on the website of the controller, or to inform the controller thereof by other means.
7. Newsletter tracking
The newsletters of HJP Immobilien GmbH contain so-called tracking pixels. These are miniature graphics that are embedded in e-mails sent in HTML format to enable the recording and analysis of log files. This enables the success or failure of online marketing campaigns to be evaluated statistically. By means of an embedded tracking pixel, HJP Immobilien GmbH can see if and when an e-mail was opened by a data subject, and which links contained in the e-mail were opened by the data subject.
Such personal data collected via the tracking pixels in the newsletters are stored and analysed by the controller in order to optimise the newsletter dispatch and to align the contents of future newsletters even more closely with the interests of data subjects. Such personal data will not be disclosed to third parties. Data subjects are entitled to withdraw the separate declaration of consent given via the double opt-in procedure at any time. Once withdrawn, the personal data shall be erased by the controller. HJP Immobilien GmbH automatically considers an unsubscription from the newsletter to be a withdrawal.
8. Contact options via the website
In conformity with legal requirements, the website of HJP Immobilien GmbH contains information enabling users to establish fast contact with our company electronically, as well as to directly communicate with us, and includes a general electronic mail address (e-mail address). Whenever a data subject contacts the controller by e-mail or by using the contact form, the personal data transmitted by the data subject are stored automatically. Such personal data transmitted on a voluntary basis by a data subject to the controller will be stored for the purposes of processing or contacting the data subject. This personal data shall not be disclosed to third parties.
9. Comments function of the blog on the website
HJP Immobilien GmbH offers users the possibility to leave personal comments on individual contributions posted on a blog, which is hosted on the website of the controller. A blog is a portal operated on a website, which can generally be accessed by the public and in which one or more persons, referred to as bloggers or web bloggers, can post articles or express their thoughts in so-called blog posts. These posts can usually be commented on by third parties.
Whenever a data subject leaves a comment on the blog published on this website, the time the comment was entered and the user name (pseudonym) chosen by the data subject will be stored and published in addition to the comments left by the data subject. Furthermore, the IP address assigned by the internet service provider (ISP) to the data subject is also logged. The IP address is stored for safety reasons and in the event that the data subject violates the rights of third parties by posting comments or illegal content. Storing this personal data is therefore in the controller's own interest as a means of exculpating themselves, if necessary, in the event of a legal infringement. The personal data collected shall not be disclosed to third parties unless such disclosure is required by law or serves the legal defence of the controller.
10. Routine erasure and blocking of personal data
The controller shall process and store personal data of the data subject no longer than is necessary to achieve the purpose for which the data is stored, or where provided for by the European Legislator and Regulator, or other legislator, in laws or regulations to which the controller is subject.
If the purpose of storage ceases to apply, or if a retention period prescribed by the European Legislator and Regulator or another competent legislator has ended, the personal data shall be routinely blocked or erased in accordance with statutory provisions.
11. Rights of the data subject
a) Right of confirmation
All data subjects shall have the right, granted by the European Legislator and Regulator, to obtain from the controller confirmation as to whether or not personal data concerning them are being processed.

d) Right to erasure (right to be forgotten)
All data subjects shall have the right, granted by the European Legislator and Regulator, to obtain from the controller the erasure of personal data concerning them without undue delay, where one of the following grounds applies and to the extent that processing of the data is not required:
- 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 on which the processing is based according to point (a) of Article 6(1) EU GFDPR, or point (a) of Article 9(2) EU GDPR, and where there is no other legal ground for the processing.
- The data subject objects to the processing pursuant to Article 21(1) EU GDPR and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing, or the data subject objects to the processing pursuant to Article 21(2) EU GDPR.
- The personal data have been unlawfully processed
- The personal data have to be erased for compliance with a legal obligation in Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject.

If one of the aforementioned reasons applies and a data subject wishes to request the erasure of personal data stored by HJP Immobilien GmbH, they may, at any time, contact our data protection officer or another employee of the controller. The data protection officer of HJP Immobilien GmbH or another employee shall arrange for the erasure request to be complied with immediately.
If the personal data have been made public by HJP Immobilien GmbH and our company as the controller pursuant to Article 17(1) EU GDPR, taking into account the available technology and the cost of implementation, takes reasonable measures, including those of a technical nature, to inform other controllers processing the personal data published that the data subject has requested that they erase all links to the personal data or copies or replications of the personal data, insofar as processing of these data is not required. The data protection officer of HJP Immobilien GmbH or another employee will arrange for the necessary steps to be taken on a case-by-case basis.
e) Right to restriction of processing
All data subjects shall have the right, granted by the European Legislator and Regulator, 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 the restriction of their use instead.

- The data subject has objected to processing pursuant to Article 21(1) EU GDPR pending the verification whether the legitimate grounds of the controller override those of the data subject.
If one of the aforementioned reasons applies and a data subject wishes to request the restriction of processing of personal data stored by HJP Immobilien GmbH, they may, at any time, contact our data protection officer or another employee of the controller. The data protection officer of HJP Immobilien GmbH or another employee shall arrange for the data processing to be restricted immediately.
f) Right to data portability
All data subjects shall have the right, granted by the European Legislator and Regulator, to receive the personal data concerning them, which they have provided to a controller, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format, and have the right to transmit those data to another controller without hindrance from the controller to which the personal data have been provided, where the processing is based on consent pursuant to point (a) of Article 6(1) or point (a) of Article 9(2) EU GDPR, or on a contract pursuant to point (b) of Article 6(1) EU GDPR, and
the processing is carried out by automated means, unless processing is necessary for the performance of a task, which is of public interest or exercised by virtue of public authority vested in the controller.
Moreover, in exercising their right to data portability pursuant to Article 20(1) EU GDPR, the data subject shall have the right to have the personal data transmitted directly from one controller to another, where technically feasible and to the extent that this does not infringe the rights and freedoms of other persons.
To assert their right to data portability, data subjects may, at any time, contact the data protection officer appointed by HJP Immobilien GmbH or another employee.
g) Right to object
All data subjects shall have the right to object, granted by the European Legislator and Regulator and based on point (e) or (f) of Article 6(1) EU GDPR, on grounds relating to their particular situation, to the processing of personal data concerning them at any time, including profiling based on those provisions.
In the event of an objection, HJP Immobilien GmbH shall no longer process the personal data unless we can demonstrate the existence of compelling, legitimate grounds for the processing which override the interests, rights and freedoms of the data subject, or the processing serves to assert, exercise or defend legal claims.
If HJP Immobilien GmbH processes personal data for the purpose of direct advertising, the data subject shall have the right to object, at any time, to the processing of personal data for such purposes. This also applies to profiling, insofar as it is related to such direct advertising. Should the data subject object to HJP Immobilien GmbH to the processing for direct advertising purposes, HJP Immobilien GmbH shall no longer process the personal data for these purposes.
Moreover, the data subject has the right, on grounds relating to their particular situation, to object to the processing of personal data concerning them, which is carried out by HJP Immobilien GmbH for scientific or historical research purposes, or for statistical purposes pursuant to Article 89(1) EU GDPR, unless such processing is necessary to perform a task of public interest.
In order to exercise their right to object, data subjects may contact the data protection officer of HJP Immobilien GmbH or another employee directly. Moreover, notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC, the data subject is free to exercise their right to object by means of automated procedures using technical specifications in connection with the use of information society services.
h) Automated individual decision-making, including profiling
All data subjects shall have the right, granted by the European Legislator and Regulator, not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects concerning them or similarly significantly affects them, provided that the decision (1) is not necessary for entering into, or performing, a contract between the data subject and the controller, or (2) is authorised 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 performing, a contract between the data subject and the controller or (2) it is based on the explicit consent of the data subject, HJP Immobilien GmbH shall take reasonable steps to safeguard the rights and freedoms as well as the legitimate interests of the data subject, which include at least the right to obtain the intervention of a person on the part of the controller, to express their point of view and to contest the decision.
Should the data subject wish to exercise their rights with regard to automated decision-making, they may, at any time, contact our data protection officer or another employee of the controller.

Should the data subject wish to exercise their right to withdraw consent, they may contact our data protection officer or another employee of the controller at any time.
12. Data protection regarding applications and the application process
The controller collects and processes the personal data of applicants for the purpose of handling the application process. Processing may also be carried out by electronic means. That is the case, in particular, when an applicant submits application documents to the controller by electronic means, for instance via e-mail or a web form available on the website. If the controller concludes an employment contract with an applicant, the data provided shall be stored for the purpose of processing the employment relationship in compliance with legal provisions. If the controller does not conclude an employment contract with the applicant, the application documents are automatically erased two months following notification of the rejection decision, provided that no other legitimate interests of the controller prevent erasure. Other legitimate interests in this sense include, for instance, a duty to provide evidence in proceedings under the General Equal Treatment Act (AGG).
13. Data protection regulations on the use and application of AddThis
The controller has integrated components of the company AddThis on this website. AddThis is a so-called bookmarking provider. This service permits a simplified bookmarking of internet pages via buttons. By moving the mouse over the AddThis component or by clicking on it, a list of bookmarking and sharing services is displayed. AddThis is used on more than 15 million websites, and the buttons are displayed more than 20 billion times a year according to the operating company.
AddThis is operated by AddThis, Inc. 1595 Spring Hill Road, Suite 300, Vienna, VA 22182, USA.
Whenever an individual page of this website operated by the controller and on which an AddThis component has been integrated is called up, the internet browser of the data subject's information technology system is automatically induced by the respective AddThis component to download data from the website www.addthis.com. As part of this technical process, AddThis receives information on the visit to the website and on which individual page of this website is being accessed by the information technology system used by the data subject. Furthermore, AddThis obtains knowledge of the IP address, assigned by the internet service provider (ISP), of the computer system used by the data subject, the browser type, the browser language, the website accessed before our website, and the date and time of the visit to our website. AddThis uses this data to create anonymised user profiles. The data and information thus transmitted to AddThis enable AddThis and the companies associated with AddThis or its partner companies to provide visitors to the controller's website with targeted advertising tailored to their individual interests.
AddThis displays personalised advertising tailored to specific interests on the basis of a cookie set by the company. This cookie analyses the individual surfing behaviour of the computer system used by the data subject. This cookie stores the visits to internet pages originating from the computer system.
The data subject can prevent the setting of cookies by our website, as outlined above, at any time by making adjustments to the settings of the internet browser used, and can thus permanently disable cookies. Such a setting of the internet browser used would also prevent AddThis from setting a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. In addition, cookies already set by AddThis can be deleted at any time via an internet browser or other software programmes.
Furthermore, the data subject has the possibility to permanently object to the processing of personal data by AddThis. To do so, the data subject must click on the opt-out button under the link https://www.addthis.com/privacy/opt-out, which will set an opt-out cookie. The opt-out cookie set with the objection is stored on the information technology system used by the data subject. If the cookies on the system of the data subject are deleted following an objection, the data subject must retrieve the link again and set a new opt-out cookie.
By setting the opt-out cookie, however, the data subject may no longer be able to make full use of the internet pages of the controller.
The applicable privacy policy of AddThis is available at https://www.addthis.com/privacy/privacy-policy.
14. Data protection regulations on the use and application of Facebook
The controller has integrated components of 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 generally enables users to communicate and interact with each other in virtual space. A social network can serve as a platform for exchanging opinions and experiences, and can enable the internet community to provide personal or company-related information. Facebook allows users of the social network to create private profiles, upload photos and network via friend requests.
Facebook is operated by Facebook, Inc, 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA. For data subjects living outside the USA or Canada, the controller is Facebook Ireland Ltd, 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland.
Whenever an individual page of this website operated by the controller and on which a Facebook component (Facebook plug-in) has been integrated is called up, the internet browser of the data subject's information technology system is automatically induced by the respective Facebook component to download a representation of the respective Facebook component from Facebook. A complete overview of all Facebook plug-ins can be found at https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/?locale=de_DE. As part of this technical process, Facebook receives information on which specific subpage of our website the data subject is visiting.
If the data subject is logged into Facebook simultaneously, Facebook recognises which specific subpage of our website the data subject is visiting, for the entire duration of the respective visit, each time the data subject calls up our website. This information is collected by the Facebook component and assigned by Facebook to the respective Facebook account of the data subject. Whenever the data subject activates one of the Facebook buttons integrated on our website, for instance the "Like" button, or whenever the data subject posts a comment, Facebook assigns this information to the personal Facebook user account of the data subject and stores these personal data.
Facebook always receives information via the Facebook component that the data subject has visited our website if the data subject is logged into Facebook while calling up our website; this takes place regardless of whether the data subject clicks on the Facebook component or not. Should the data subject not wish this information to be transmitted to Facebook, they can prevent this by logging out of their Facebook account before accessing our website.
The privacy policy published by Facebook, available at https://de-de.facebook.com/about/privacy/, provides information on the collection, processing and use of personal data by Facebook. It also explains which setting options Facebook offers to protect the privacy of the data subject. In addition, various applications are available that allow the transmission of data to Facebook to be suppressed. Such applications can be used by the data subject to prevent data from being transmitted to Facebook.
15. Data protection regulations on the use and application of Google AdSense
The controller has integrated Google AdSense on this website. Google AdSense is an online service that enables the placement of ads on third-party sites. Google AdSense is based on an algorithm which selects the ads displayed on third-party sites in line with the contents of the respective third-party site. Google AdSense allows internet users to be targeted according to their interests by generating individual user profiles. The Google AdSense component is operated by Alphabet Inc, 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA. The purpose of the Google AdSense component is to integrate ads on our website. GoogleAdSense sets a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. What cookies are has already been explained above. By setting the cookie, Alphabet Inc. is able to analyse the use of our website. Whenever an individual page of this website operated by the controller and on which a Google AdSense component has been integrated is called up, the internet browser of the data subject's information technology system is automatically induced by the respective GoogleAdSense component to transmit data to Alphabet Inc. for the purpose of online advertising and the billing of commissions. As part of this technical process, Alphabet Inc. receives information on personal data, such as the IP address of the data subject, which allow Alphabet Inc. to trace the origin of visitors and clicks, thus enabling commissions to be settled. The data subject can prevent the setting of cookies by our website, as outlined above, at any time by making adjustments to the settings of the internet browser used, and can thus permanently disable cookies. Such a setting of the internet browser used would also prevent Alphabet Inc. from setting a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. In addition, cookies already set by Alphabet Inc. can be deleted at any time via an internet browser or other software programmes.
GoogleAdSense uses so-called tracking pixels. These are miniature graphics embedded in internet pages to enable the recording and analysis of log files, thereby allowing a statistical evaluation to be carried out. By means of an embedded tracking pixel, Alphabet Inc. can see if and when an internet page was accessed by a data subject, and which links were opened by the data subject.
Among other things, tracking pixels are used to analyse the flow of visitors to a website. Via Google AdSense, personal data and information, which also include the IP address and are necessary for the recording and billing of the ads displayed, are transmitted to Alphabet Inc. in the United States of America. These personal data are stored and processed in the United States of America. Alphabet Inc. may pass on these personal data collected via this technical process to third parties. Google-AdSense is explained in more detail under this link: https://www.google.de/intl/de/adsense/start/.
16. Data protection regulations on the use and application of Google Analytics (with anonymization function)
The controller has integrated the Google Analytics component (with anonymisation function) on this website. Google Analytics is a web analysis service. Web analysis means the recording, collection and evaluation of data on the behaviour of visitors to websites. Among other things, a web analysis service collects data on the website from which a data subject has accessed a website (so-called referrers), which subpages of the website have been accessed, or how often and for how long a subpage has been viewed. Web analysis is mainly used to optimise websites and to conduct cost-benefit analyses of online advertising. The Google Analytics component is operated by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA. The controller uses the add-on "_gat._anonymizeIp" for web analysis via Google Analytics. By means of this add-on, the IP address of the internet connection of the data subject is shortened and anonymised by Google if our internet pages are accessed from a member state of the European Union or from another state party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. The purpose of the Google Analytics component is to analyse the flow of visitors to 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 activity on our website, and to provide other services in connection with the use of our website. Google Analytics sets a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. What cookies are has already been explained above. By setting the cookie, Google is able to analyse the use of our website. Whenever an individual page of this website operated by the controller and on which a Google Analytics component has been integrated is called up, the internet browser of the data subject's information technology system is automatically induced by the respective Google Analytics component to transmit data to Google for the purpose of online analysis. As part of this technical process, Google receives information on personal data, such as the IP address of the data subject, which allows Google to trace the origin of visitors and clicks, thus enabling commissions to be settled. By means of the cookie, personal information such as the time of access, the location from which access originated and the frequency of visits to our website by the data subject are stored. Whenever the data subject visits our website, these personal data, including the IP address of the internet connection used by the data subject, are transmitted to Google in the United States of America. These personal data are stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may pass on these personal data collected via the technical process to third parties. The data subject can prevent the setting of cookies by our website, as outlined above, at any time by making adjustments to the settings of the internet browser used, and can thus permanently disable cookies. Such a setting of the internet browser used would also prevent Google from setting a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. In addition, cookies already set by Google Analytics can be deleted at any time via an internet browser or other software programmes. Furthermore, the data subject has the possibility to object to, and prevent, the collection of data generated by Google Analytics and related to the use of this website as well as the processing of this data by Google. To do so, the data subject must download and install a browser add-on under the link https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. This browser add-on informs Google Analytics via JavaScript that data and information on visits to internet pages may not be transmitted to Google Analytics. The installation of the browser add-on is interpreted by Google as an objection. If the data subject's information technology system is deleted, formatted or reinstalled at a later date, the data subject must reinstall the browser add-on in order to deactivate Google Analytics. Insofar as the browser add-on has been uninstalled or deactivated by the data subject or another person within their sphere of control, it is possible to reinstall or reactivate the browser add-on. Further information and the applicable data protection regulations of Google are available at https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/ and https://www.google.com/analytics/terms/de.html. Google Analytics is explained in more detail under this link: https://www.google.com/intl/de_de/analytics/.
17. Data protection regulations on the use and application of Google Remarketing
The controller has integrated Google Remarketing services on this website. Google Remarketing is a feature of Google AdWords that allows a company to display ads to internet users who have previously visited the company's website. The integration of Google Remarketing thus allows a company to create user-related advertising and consequently to display ads tailored to the interests of the internet user. Google Remarketing services are operated by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA. The purpose of Google Remarketing is to display ads tailored to the interests of the user. Google Remarketing allows us to display ads, tailored to the individual needs and interests of internet users, via the Google advertising network or on other websites. Google Remarketing sets a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. What cookies are has already been explained above. The cookie enables Google to recognise visitors to our website when they subsequently call up websites that are also members of the Google advertising network. Whenever a website is accessed on which the Google Remarketing service has been integrated, the internet browser of the data subject is automatically identified by Google. As part of this technical process, Google receives information on personal data, such as the IP address and the browsing behaviour of the data subject, which Google uses, among other things, to display advertising tailored to individual interests. By means of the cookie, personal information such as the websites accessed by the data subject are stored. Whenever the data subject visits our website, these personal data, including the IP address of the internet connection used by the data subject, are transmitted to Google in the United States of America. These personal data are stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may pass on this personal data collected via the technical process to third parties. The data subject can prevent the setting of cookies by our website, as outlined above, at any time by making adjustments to the settings of the internet browser used, and can thus permanently disable cookies. Such a setting of the internet browser used would also prevent Google from setting a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. In addition, cookies already set by Google Analytics can be deleted at any time via an internet browser or other software programmes. Furthermore, the data subject has the possibility to object to receiving targeted advertising by Google. To do this, the data subject must call up the link www.google.de/settings/ads from each internet browser used and proceed to make the desired settings in that browser. Further information and the applicable privacy policy of Google is available at https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/.
18. Data protection regulations on the use and application of Google+
The controller has integrated the Google+ button as a component on this website. Google+ is a social network. A social network is a social meeting place operated on the internet, an online community that generally enables users to communicate and interact with each other in virtual space. A social network can serve as a platform for exchanging opinions and experiences, and can enable the internet community to provide personal or company-related information. Google+ allows users of the social network to create private profiles, upload photos and network via friend requests. Google+ is operated by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA. Whenever an individual page of this website operated by the controller and on which the Google+ button has been integrated is called up, the internet browser of the data subject's information technology system is automatically induced by the Google+ button to download a representation of the respective Google+ button from Google. As part of this technical process, Google receives information on which specific subpage of our website the data subject is visiting. More detailed information on Google+ is available at https://developers.google.com/+/.If the data subject is logged into Google+ simultaneously, Google recognises which specific subpage of our website the data subject is visiting, for the entire duration of the visit to our website, each time the data subject calls up our website. This information is collected by the Google+ button and assigned by Google to the respective Google+ account of the data subject. If the data subject activates one of the Google+ buttons integrated on our website and thus makes a Google+1 recommendation, Google assigns this information to the personal Google+ user account of the data subject and stores these personal data. Google stores the Google+1 recommendation of the data subject and makes it publicly available in accordance with the respective terms and conditions agreed to by the data subject. A Google+1 recommendation made by the data subject on this website will subsequently be stored and processed together with other personal data, such as the name of the Google+1 account used by the data subject and the photo stored in this account, in other Google services, for instance the search engine results of the Google search engine, the Google account of the data subject, or in other places, for instance on websites or in connection with ads. Furthermore, Google is able to link the visit to this website to other personal data stored by Google. In addition, Google records this personal information for the purpose of improving or optimising its various services. Google is notified via the Google+ button that the data subject has visited our website if the data subject is logged in to Google+ while accessing our website; this takes place regardless of whether or not the data subject has clicked on the Google+ button. Should the data subject not wish personal data to be transmitted to Google, they can prevent this by logging out of their Google+ account before accessing our website. Further information and the applicable privacy policy of Google are available at https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/. Further information from Google on the Google+1 button can be found at https://developers.google.com/+/web/buttons-policy.
19. Data protection regulations on the use and application of Google-AdWords
The controller has integrated Google AdWords on this website. Google AdWords is an internet advertising service that allows advertisers to place ads both in Google's search engine results and in the Google advertising network. Google AdWords allows an advertiser to specify certain keywords in advance, by means of which an ad is displayed in Google's search engine results exclusively when the user retrieves a keyword-relevant search result with the search engine. In the Google advertising network, the ads are automatically allocated to thematically relevant websites by means of an algorithm, taking into account the previously defined keywords. Google AdWords services are operated by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA. The purpose of Google AdWords is to promote our website by displaying targeted ads on the websites of third-party companies and in the search engine results of the Google search engine, and to display third-party ads on our website. Whenever a data subject accesses our website via a Google ad, Google places a so-called conversion cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. What cookies are has already been explained above. A conversion cookie expires after thirty days and does not serve to identify the data subject. The conversion cookie is used to track whether certain subpages, for instance the shopping basket of an online shop system, have been called up on our website, provided the cookie has not yet expired. The conversion cookie enables both Google and us to track whether a data subject who has accessed our website via an AdWords ad has generated revenues, i.e. whether they have completed or terminated the purchase of goods. The data and information collected through the use of the conversion cookie are used by Google to produce statistics on the number of visits to our website. We, in turn, use these statistics to determine the total number of users who were referred to us via AdWords ads, i.e. to determine the success or failure of the respective AdWords ad and to optimise our AdWords ads for the future. Neither our company nor other advertising customers of Google AdWords receive information from Google by means of which the data subject could be identified. The conversion cookie is used to store personal information, such as the websites visited by the data subject. Whenever the data subject visits our website, these personal data, including the IP address of the internet connection used by the data subject, are transmitted to Google in the United States of America. These personal data are stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may pass on these personal data collected via the technical process to third parties. The data subject can prevent the setting of cookies by our website, as outlined above, at any time by making adjustments to the settings of the internet browser used, and can thus permanently disable cookies. Such a setting of the internet browser used would also prevent Google from setting a conversion cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. In addition, cookies already set by Google AdWords can be deleted at any time via an internet browser or other software programmes. Furthermore, the data subject has the possibility to object to receiving targeted advertising by Google. To do this, the data subject must call up the link www.google.de/settings/ads from each internet browser used and proceed to make the desired settings in that browser. Further information and the applicable privacy policy of Google are available at https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/.
20. Data protection regulations on the use and application of Instagram
The controller has integrated components of the Instagram service on this website. Instagram is a service that qualifies as an audiovisual platform and allows users to share photos and videos and to further circulate such data in other social networks. Instagram services are operated by Instagram LLC, 1 Hacker Way, Building 14 First Floor, Menlo Park, CA, USA. Whenever an individual page of this website operated by the controller and on which an Instagram component (Insta button) has been integrated is called up, the internet browser of the data subject's information technology system is automatically induced by the respective Instagram component to download a representation of the respective Instagram component from Instagram. As part of this technical process, Instagram receives information on which specific subpage of our website the data subject is visiting. If the data subject is logged into Instagram simultaneously, Instagram recognises which specific subpage of our website the data subject is visiting, for the entire duration of the respective visit, each time the data subject calls up our website. This information is collected by the Instagram component and assigned by Instagram to the respective Instagram account of the data subject. Whenever the data subject activates one of the Instagram buttons integrated on our website, the data and information thus transmitted are assigned to the data subject's personal Instagram user account and stored and processed by Instagram. Instagram always receives information via the Instagram component that the data subject has visited our website if the data subject is logged into Instagram while calling up our website; this takes place regardless of whether the data subject clicks on the Instagram component or not. Should the data subject not wish this information to be transmitted to Instagram, they can prevent this by logging out of their Instagram account before accessing our website. Further information and the applicable privacy policy of Instagram are available at https://help.instagram.com/155833707900388 and https://www.instagram.com/about/legal/privacy/.

24. Data protection regulations on the use and application of GetClicky
This website uses Getclicky, a web analytics service provided by Roxr Software, Ltd ("Getclicky"). Getclicky uses cookies, which are text files stored on your computer to enable your use of the website to be analysed. The information generated by the cookie about your use of the website (including your IP address) will be transmitted to, and stored, by Getclicky on servers in the United States. Getclicky will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of the website, compiling reports on website activities for website operators and providing other services relating to the use of the website and the internet. Getclicky may disclose this information to third parties if required by law, or if third parties process the information on Getclicky's behalf. Getclicky will under no circumstances associate your IP address with any other data held by Getclicky. You can prevent cookies from being installed by selecting the appropriate settings in your browser; however, please note that in this case you may not be able to use all features of this website in full.

25. Lawfulness of processing
Point (a) of Article 6 I EU GDPR serves as the legal basis for data processing operations within our company for which we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose. If the processing of personal data is required for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party, as is the case with processing operations necessary for the delivery of goods or the provision of any other service or consideration, processing shall be based on point (b) of Article 6 I EU GDPR. The same applies to processing operations that are necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures, for instance when receiving enquiries about our products and services. In cases where our company is subject to a legal obligation which requires the processing of personal data, for instance for the fulfilment of tax obligations, processing shall be based on point (c) Art. 6 I EU GDPR. In rare cases, the processing of personal data might be required to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person. This could occur if a visitor were to be injured on our premises and their name, age, health insurance details and other vital information therefore had to be passed on to a doctor, hospital or other third party. In this case, processing would be based on point (d) of Article 6 EU GDPR. Finally, processing operations could be based on point (f) of Article 6 I EU GDPR. Processing operations not governed by any of the aforementioned legal bases are to be based on this legal basis if processing is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest of our company or a third party, except where the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject are overridden. We are authorised to perform such processing operations, in particular as they were specifically mentioned by the European Legislator, who took the view that that a legitimate interest may be assumed if the data subject is a customer of the controller (Recital 47 sentence 2 EU GDPR).
26. Legitimate interests of the controller or a third party in processing. Where the processing of personal data is based on point (f) of Article 6 I EU GDPR, our legitimate interest is to conduct our business activities for the well-being of all our employees and shareholders.
27. Duration for which personal data is stored. The respective statutory retention period serves as the criterion to determine the duration for which personal data is to be stored. After the expiry of this period, the respective data are routinely erased, provided that they are no longer required for the initiation or fulfilment of the contract.
28. Legal or contractual regulations for the provision of personal data; requirements for the conclusion of a contract; obligation of the data subject to provide personal data; possible consequences of not providing the data. We wish to inform you that the provision of personal data may be required by law in some cases (e.g. tax regulations) or may also result from contractual regulations (e.g. information on the contractual partner). To conclude a contract, data subjects may occasionally be required to disclose personal data to us, which must then be processed by us. For instance, data subjects are obliged to provide us with personal data when concluding a contract with our company. Failure to provide the personal data would result in the contract not being concluded. The data subject is required to contact our data protection officer before disclosing personal data. Our data protection officer shall inform the data subject on a case-by-case basis whether the disclosure of personal data is required by law or contract, or is necessary for the conclusion of a contract, whether there is an obligation to provide personal data and what the consequences of not providing the personal data would be.
29. Existence of automated decision-making. As a responsible company, we refrain from automated decision-making or profiling. This Data Protection Declaration was prepared, inter alia, by the EU GDPR Data Protection Declaration Generator of the German Data Protection Association, which was created in cooperation with RC GmbH which recycles used hardware, and lawyers of the law firm media law WILDE BEUGER SOLMECKE | Rechtsanwälte.
