2. DEFINITIONS
Our Privacy Policy contains technical terms which occur in the GDPR and the BDSG-new. For your better understanding we want to explain these terms in simple words in advance:
2.1 PERSONAL DATA
„Personal data“ means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (Art. 4 No. 1 GDPR). Details of an identified person can be, for example, the name or the e-mail address. However, personal data is also data for which the identity is not immediately obvious, but which can be determined by combining own information with third-party information and thus finding out the identity of the person concerned. For example, a person can be identified through providing his or her address or bank details, date of birth or user name, IP addresses and/or location data. Any information that allows conclusions to be drawn about a person in any way whatsoever is relevant here.
2.2 PROCESSING
Art. 4 No. 2 GDPR defines „processing” as any operation which is performed on personal data. This applies in particular to the 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 of personal data.

Following the activation of a social plugin, we cannot influence the extent of the data collected by the relevant social network. We will therefore inform you according to our level of knowledge. By activating a social plugin, your IP address in conjunction with our website address will be transmitted to the relevant social network. If you are logged in to the social network when you visit our website, this information is assigned directly to your user account. If you interact with an activated social plugin, for example, if you click the “share”, “like” or “retweet” button, the relevant information will also be sent directly to the relevant social network and will also be stored in your user account. The social networks that you communicate with, will store your data in the form of user profiles and also use them for advertising purposes, market research and/or to tailor your websites as required.

In any case – regardless of your particular situation – you have the right to object at any time to the processing of your personal data for direct marketing.
