Your Rights
With regard to your personal data, you have the following legal rights vis-à-vis us:

-
Right to erasure ("right to be forgotten"): As an affected person, you have the right to request the deletion of your data if processing is not necessary. This is the case, for example, when your data is no longer necessary for the original purposes, you have revoked your consent for data processing, or the data has been unlawfully processed.
-
Right to restriction of processing: As an affected person, you have the right to request the restriction of processing, for example, if you believe that the personal data is inaccurate.

Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics to analyze and improve the usage of our website.
Google Analytics is a web analytics service provided by Google Inc. ("Google"). Google Analytics uses "cookies," which are text files placed on your computer, to help analyze how users interact with the website. The information generated by the cookie about your use of the website will be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States. However, if IP anonymization is enabled on this website, your IP address will be truncated by Google within member states of the European Union or other contracting parties to the Agreement on the European Economic Area before transmission. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be sent to a Google server in the US and truncated there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, compile reports on website activity, and provide other services related to website activity and internet usage to the website operator. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be associated with any other data held by Google. You can prevent the storage of cookies by adjusting your browser settings; however, please note that if you do this, you may not be able to use the full functionality of this website. Furthermore, you can prevent the collection of data generated by the cookie about your use of the website (including your IP address) and its processing by Google by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available at the following link: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en
We use Google Analytics with the "anonymizeIp()" extension. This ensures that IP addresses are truncated (a process known as IP masking), eliminating any association with specific individuals.
Google participates in the EU-US Privacy Shield framework, which provides an adequate level of data protection even in cases where personal data is transferred to the United States by Google.
The legal basis for processing data using Google Analytics is Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR.

Google Ads
Google Ads is a service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street Dublin 4, Ireland (www.google.com). We use Google Ads to advertise this website in Google search results and on third-party websites. When you visit our website, a remarketing cookie from Google is automatically set, enabling interest-based advertising through the collection and processing of data (IP address, visit time, device and browser information, and information about your use of our website) and a pseudonymous cookie ID based on the pages you visit. Once the purpose has been fulfilled and we no longer use Google Ads remarketing, the data collected in this context will be deleted. Further data processing will only occur if you have consented to Google linking your web and app browsing history to your Google account and using information from your Google account to personalize ads you see on the web. If you are logged into your Google account during your visit to our website in this case, Google will use your data together with Google Analytics data to create and define audience lists for cross-device remarketing. Your personal data will be temporarily linked with Google Analytics data for the purpose of audience creation.

We use the Facebook Pixel in the context of the following technologies provided by Facebook Ireland Ltd, 4 Grand Canal Square, Dublin 2, Ireland ("Facebook").

In addition, certain information and parameters necessary for optimizing our advertisements, increasing relevance, and measuring success are transmitted.

The Facebook Pixel automatically collects and stores data (IP address, visit time, device and browser information, and information about your use of our website based on predefined events such as visiting a web page or subscribing to a newsletter) to create usage profiles using pseudonyms. When you visit our website, the Facebook Pixel automatically sets a cookie that allows for recognition of your browser when visiting other websites. Facebook will combine this information with additional data from your Facebook account to compile reports on website activity and provide other services related to website usage, particularly personalized and group-based advertising. We have no control over the data processing by Facebook and only receive statistics based on the Facebook Pixel.
The information automatically collected through Facebook technologies about your use of our website is usually transmitted to and stored on a server of Facebook, Inc., 1601 Willow Road, Menlo Park, California 94025, USA.
