6. Google Analytics
This website uses the “Google Analytics” service, which is provided by Google Inc. (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043, USA) for analysis of website usage by users. The service uses “cookies” – text files which are stored on your terminal. The information collected by the cookies is usually sent to a Google server in the USA and stored there.
IP anonymisation is used on this website. The IP address of users within the member states of the EU and the European Economic Area will be reduced. This reduction eliminates the personal reference to your IP address. As part of the contract data agreement concluded between the website operators and Google Inc., Google uses the information collected to evaluate the use of the website and website activity and to provide services related to Internet use.
You have the option of preventing the storage of cookies on your device by making the appropriate settings in your browser. There is no guarantee that you will be able to access all functions of this website without restrictions if your browser does not allow cookies.
Furthermore, you can use a browser plug-in to prevent the information collected by cookies (including your IP address) from being sent to Google Inc. and used by Google Inc. The following link leads you to the corresponding plugin: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en
Here you will find further information on data use by Google Inc.: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245?hl=en
Disable Google Analytics tracking for this website.
7. Google AdWords
We also use the Google advertising tool “Google-Adwords” to promote our website. In this context we use the analysis service “Conversion-Tracking” of Google Inc. 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043 USA, hereinafter “Google”. If you accessed our website via a Google ad, a cookie is stored on your computer. Cookies are small text files that your Internet browser stores on your computer. These so-called “conversion cookies” lose their validity after 30 days and do not serve your personal identification. If you visit certain pages of our website and the cookie has not yet expired, we and Google may recognize that you as a user have clicked on one of our ads placed on Google and have been redirected to our page.
The information collected with the help of the “conversion cookies” is used by Google to generate visit statistics for our website. These statistics show us the total number of users who clicked on our ad and also which pages of our website were subsequently accessed by the respective user. However, we or others who advertise via “Google-Adwords” do not receive any information with which users can be personally identified.
You can prevent the installation of “conversion cookies” by making the appropriate settings in your browser, such as browser settings that generally deactivate the automatic setting of cookies or specifically only block cookies from the “googleadservices.com” domain.
You can obtain the relevant data protection agreement from Google under the following link: https://services.google.com/sitestats/de.html
8. Cookies
Our website uses so-called cookies. These are small text files that are stored on your mobile device using the browser. They’re not doing any damage.
We use cookies to make our website user-friendly. Some cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them. They enable us to recognize your browser the next time you visit us.
If you do not wish this, you can set your browser so that it informs you about the setting of cookies and you only allow this in individual cases.
When cookies are deactivated, the functionality of our website may be limited.
9. Use of social media plug-ins
We currently use the following social media plug-ins: Facebook, Linkedin, Xing

10. Reference to other websites/integration of third-party services
It may happen that third party content, such as RSS feeds or graphics from other websites, is integrated within this online offer. This always presupposes that the providers of this content (hereinafter referred to as “third party providers”) are aware of the IP address of the users. Because without the IP address, they could not send the content to the browser of the respective user. The IP address is therefore required for the display of this content. We make every effort to use only those contents whose respective providers use the IP address only for the delivery of the contents. However, we have no influence on this if the third party providers store the IP address, e.g. for statistical purposes. As far as we know, we inform the users about this.
We always ensure that the European General Data Protection Regulation Agreement standard is maintained in order to protect your data effectively.
On our website you will find a link to the following other websites of the following providers: TeamViewer, Wellness Booking
Below are the addresses of the respective providers as well as the URL with their data protection information:

11. Handling of contact data
If you contact the website operator through the contact options offered, your details will be stored so that they can be used to process and respond to your enquiry. In principle, we reserve the right to pass on your data to our business partners if necessary.
Use of functions of our website
In addition to the purely informational use of our website, we offer various services that you can use if you are interested. To do so, you will usually have to provide additional personal data that we use to provide the respective service. If additional voluntary information is possible, it is marked accordingly.
Use of the “Contact” function
When you contact us by e-mail or via the contact form, your e-mail address and, if you specify this, your name and your telephone number will be stored by us in order to answer your questions.
Newsletter subscription
With the following information we inform you about the contents of our newsletter as well as the registration, dispatch and statistical evaluation procedure and your rights of objection. By subscribing to our newsletter you agree to the receipt and the described procedures.
Contents of the newsletter
We will only send newsletters, e-mails and other electronic notifications containing advertising information (hereinafter “newsletters”) with the consent of the recipients or a legal permission. If the contents of a newsletter are specifically described within the scope of a registration, they are decisive for the consent of the users.
Double-Opt-In and logging
The registration for our newsletter takes place in a so-called double opt-in procedure. This means that after registration you will receive an e-mail asking you to confirm your registration. This confirmation is necessary so that no one can log in with other e-mail addresses.
Subscriptions to the newsletter are logged in order to be able to prove the registration process in accordance with legal requirements. This includes the storage of the login and confirmation time, as well as the IP address. Also the changes of your data stored with Brevo are logged.
Use of the “Brevo” shipping service
The newsletter is sent via “Brevo”, a newsletter distribution platform of the provider Sendinblue GmbH, Köpenicker Straße 126, 10179 Berlin.
We trust in the reliability and IT and data security of Sendinblue GmBH. The email addresses of our newsletter recipients, as well as their other data described in this notice, are stored on Brevo’s servers. All Sendinblue GmbH data centers are located in the EU, and account data is encrypted before being backed up on three geographically separate servers. In addition, ISO 27001:2013 certification attests to Brevo’s continuous efforts to protect your data with world-class security measures.
Brevo uses this information to send and analyze newsletters on our behalf. Furthermore, Brevo may, according to its own information, use this data to optimize or improve its own services, e.g. for the technical optimization of the dispatch and presentation of the newsletter or for economic purposes to determine from which countries the recipients come. However, Brevo does not use the data of our newsletter recipients to write to them itself or to pass it on to third parties.
Registration details
To subscribe to the newsletter, simply enter your e-mail address, title and surname. This information is only used to personalise the newsletter. We only use this information to adapt the contents of the newsletter to the interests of our readers.
Statistical surveys and analysis
The newsletters contain a so-called “web-beacon”, a pixel-sized file that is retrieved from the Sendinblue GmbH server when the newsletter is opened. As part of this retrieval, technical information, such as information about the browser and your system, as well as your IP address and time of retrieval, is initially collected. This information is used for the technical improvement of the services based on the technical data or the target groups and their reading behavior based on their retrieval locations (which can be determined with the help of the IP address) or the access times.
The statistical surveys also include determining whether the newsletters are opened, when they are opened and which links are clicked. For technical reasons, this information can be assigned to individual newsletter recipients. However, it is neither our intention nor that of Sendinblue GmbH to observe individual users. The evaluations serve us much more to recognize the reading habits of our users and to adapt our content to them or to send different content according to the interests of our users.
Online access and data management
There are cases in which we direct newsletter recipients to Brevo’s websites. For example, our newsletters contain a link that newsletter recipients can use to access the newsletter online (e.g. in the event of display problems in the e-mail program). Newsletter recipients can also correct their data, such as their e-mail address, at a later date. Brevo’s privacy policy is also only available on their website.
In this context, we would like to point out that cookies are used on Brevo’s websites and therefore personal data is processed by Brevo, its partners and service providers (e.g. Google Analytics). We have no impact on this data collection. Further information can be found in Brevo’s privacy policy. We would also like to draw your attention to the options for objecting to the collection of data for advertising purposes on the websites https://www.brevo.com/de/legal/privacypolicy/#
Data processing
The personal data collected by Brevo in the course of providing the services are necessary for the performance of the contracts concluded with the user or are required to enable Brevo to pursue its legitimate interests while respecting the rights of the user. Certain data may also be processed with the user’s consent.
Brevo processes the data for the following purposes:
– Commercial and accounting management of the contract;
– Management of activation and marketing campaigns;
– Detection of malicious behavior (fraud, phishing, spam, etc.);
– Improvement of the user’s browsing history on the website;
– in general, for any purpose within the meaning of Article 2 of Decree-Law No. 2012-209 of June 21, 2012 establishing a simplified standard for the automated processing of personal data relating to the management of users and prospects.
Cancellation/Revocation
You can cancel the receipt of our newsletter at any time, i.e. revoke your consent. At the same time your consents to its dispatch via Brevo and the statistical analyses expire. A separate cancellation of the dispatch via Brevo or the statistical evaluation is unfortunately not possible.
You will find a link to cancel the newsletter at the end of each newsletter.
Legal basis Basic Data Protection Ordinance
In accordance with the provisions of the Basic Data Protection Ordinance (DSGVO) valid from 25 May 2018, we inform you that your consents to the sending of e-mail addresses are based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a, 7 DSGVO and § 7 para. 2 no. 3 and para. 3 UWG.

We are interested in using a user-friendly and secure newsletter system that serves both our business interests and the expectations of users.
We would also like to point out that you can object to the future processing of your personal data at any time in accordance with the statutory provisions of Art. 21 DSGVO. The objection may be lodged in particular against processing for direct marketing purposes.

12. Rights of the user
Withdrawal of your consent to data processing
Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You can withdraw consent that you have already given at any time. The lawfulness of the data processing carried out up to the point of withdrawal remains unaffected by the withdrawal.
Right to object to data collection in special cases and to Direct advertising (Art. 21 GDPR)
IF THE DATA PROCESSING IS BASED ON ART. 6 ABS. 1 LIT. E OR F DSGVO, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT AT ANY TIME, FOR REASONS THAT ARISE FROM YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION, AGAINST THE PROCESSING PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING BASED ON THESE PROVISIONS. THE RESPECTIVE LEGAL BASIS FOR PROCESSING IS PROVIDED IN THIS DATA PROTECTION DECLARATION. IF YOU OBJECT, WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR AFFECTED PERSONAL DATA UNLESS WE CAN PROVIDE COMPELLING REASONS FOR PROCESSING WORTHY OF PROTECTION , THAT OUTWEIGH YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS OR IF THE PROCESSING SERVES THE ESTABLISHMENT, EXERCISE OR DEFENCE OF LEGAL CLAIMS (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21 SECT. 1 GDPR). IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA IS PROCESSED FOR THE PURPOSE OF DIRECT MARKETING, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA OF PERSONAL DATA FOR THE PURPOSE OF SUCH ADVERTISING. THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING TO THE EXTENT THAT IT IS AFFILIATED WITH SUCH DIRECT ADVERTISING. IF YOU OBJECT, YOUR PERSONAL DATA WILL SUBSEQUENTLY NO LONGER BE USED FOR THE PURPOSE OF DIRECT MARKETING (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21 SECT. 2 GDPR).
Right to lodge a complaint with the relevant supervisory authority
In the event of violations of the GDPR, data subjects are entitled to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the member state of their habitual residence, their place of work or the place of the alleged violation. The right to lodge a complaint exists regardless of any other administrative or judicial remedies.
Right to data portability
You have the right to demand that we hand over any data we automatically process based on your consent or in order to fulfil a contract be handed over to you or a third party in a commonly used, machine readable format. If you should demand the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will be done only if it is technically feasible.
Information, correction and deletion
Within the scope of the applicable statutory provisions, you have the right to at any time demand information about your archived personal data, their source and recipients as well as the purpose of the processing of your data. You may also have a right to correction or deletion of this data. You can contact us at any time if you have questions about this or any other personal data related issues.
Right to restriction of processing
You have the right to request that the processing of your personal data be restricted. You can contact us at any time in this regard. The right to restriction of processing applies in the following cases:
If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored with us, we usually need time to verify this. During the verification period, you have the right to demand that the processing of your personal data be restricted. If the processing of your personal data was/is carried out unlawfully, you can demand the restriction of data processing instead of deletion. If we no longer need your personal data, but you need it to exercise, defend or assert legal claims, you have the right to request that the processing of your personal data be restricted instead of deleted. If you have lodged an objection in accordance with Art. 21 (1) GDPR, a balance must be struck between your interests and ours.

13. Use of chatbots
We use chatbots to communicate with you. Chatbots are able to respond to your questions and other input without human assistance. To do this, the chatbots analyse not only your input but also other data in order to provide appropriate answers (e.g. names, email addresses and other contact data, customer numbers and other identifiers, orders and chat histories). Furthermore, your IP address, log files, location information and other metadata may be collected via the chatbot. These data are stored on the servers of the chatbot provider.
The data collected can also be used to improve our chatbots and their response behaviour (machine learning).
The data you enter during communication will remain with us or the chatbot operator until you request us to delete it, revoke your consent to storage or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g. after your request has been processed).
Mandatory legal provisions – in particular retention periods – remain unaffected.
The legal basis for the use of chatbots is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR, insofar as the chatbot is used to initiate a contract or as part of the fulfilment of a contract. If consent has been requested, processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 (1) point a GDPR and Section 25 (1) TDDDG, insofar as the consent includes the storage of cookies or access to information in the user’s end device (e.g. device fingerprinting) within the meaning of the TDDDG. The consent can be revoked at any time. In all other cases, the use is based on our legitimate interest in the most effective customer communication possible (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR).
We use the following chatbot:
Wonderchat
The provider is Wonderchat Private Limited, 7 Temasek Boulevard #12-07 Suntec City Tower One, 038987 (Singapore). Wonderchat is hosted in the European Union (EU), its servers and databases are located in Frankfurt, Germany, and it complies with the GDPR guidelines.

The exchanged messages and data are stored within the Wonderchat application. For more information, please refer to the Wonderchat privacy policy . TAC Informationstechnologie GmbH will only use these messages or data to process the registered problems or requests of the users. Your personal data will be processed and transmitted in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
