Privacy Policy
We are very pleased about your interest in our company. Data protection is of a particularly high priority for the management of Cosmedica Estetik Turizm Sağlık Hizmetleri Sanayi ve Tic.Ltd.Şti. Use of the internet pages of Beşyol Mahallesi is possible in principle without any indication of personal data.
However, if a data subject wishes to make use of special services of our company via our website, processing of personal data could become necessary. 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.
The processing of personal data, such as the name, address, e-mail address or telephone number of a data subject, is always carried out in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation and in compliance with the country-specific data protection provisions applicable to Beşyol Mahallesi. By means of this privacy policy, our company wishes to inform the public about the nature, scope and purpose of the personal data we collect, use and process. Furthermore, data subjects are informed of the rights to which they are entitled by means of this privacy policy.
The privacy policy of Beşyol Mahallesi is based on the terms used by the European legislator for the adoption of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Our privacy policy should be legible and understandable for the general public, as well as for our customers and business partners. To ensure this, we would like to explain the terminology used beforehand.
In this privacy policy, we use, among others, the following terms:
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.
Data subject is any identified or identifiable natural person whose personal data is processed by the controller responsible for the processing.
Processing is 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.
Restriction of processing is the marking of stored personal data with the aim of limiting their processing in the future.
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.
Pseudonymisation is 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.
Controller or controller responsible for the processing is 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.
Processor is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which processes personal data on behalf of the controller.
Recipient is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or another body, to which the personal data are disclosed, whether a third party or not. 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.
Third party is 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.
Consent of the data subject is any freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous indication of the data subject’s wishes by which he or she, by a statement or by a clear affirmative action, signifies agreement to the processing of personal data relating to him or her.
Controller for the purposes of the General Data Protection Regulation, other data protection laws applicable in Member States of the European Union and other provisions related to data protection is:

The internet pages of Beşyol Mahallesi use cookies. Cookies are text files that are stored and saved on a computer system via an internet browser.
Numerous websites and servers use cookies. Many cookies contain a so-called cookie ID. A cookie ID is a unique identifier of the cookie. It consists of a character string through which internet pages and servers can be assigned to the specific internet browser in which the cookie was stored. This enables the visited internet pages and servers to distinguish the individual browser of the data subject from other internet browsers that contain other cookies. A specific internet browser can be recognised and identified via the unique cookie ID.
Through the use of cookies, Beşyol Mahallesi can provide the users of this website with more user-friendly services that would not be possible without the setting of cookies.
By means of a cookie, the information and offers on our website can be optimised in the interest 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 use our website. The user of a website that uses cookies does not, for example, have to re-enter their access data each time they visit the website, because this is handled by the website and the cookie stored on the user’s computer system. Another example is the cookie of a shopping cart in an online shop. The online shop remembers the items that a customer has placed in the virtual shopping cart via a cookie.
The data subject can prevent the setting of cookies by our website at any time by means of a corresponding setting in the internet browser used and can thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Furthermore, cookies that have already been set can be deleted at any time via an internet browser or other software programs. This is possible in all common internet browsers. If the data subject deactivates the setting of cookies in the internet browser used, not all functions of our website may be fully usable.
The website of Beşyol Mahallesi collects a series of general data and information each time the website is accessed by a data subject or an automated system. This general data and information is stored in the server log files. The following may be collected: (1) the browser types and versions used, (2) the operating system used by the accessing system, (3) the website from which an accessing system reaches our website (so-called referrers), (4) the sub-websites which are 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 avert danger in the event of attacks on our information technology systems.
When using this general data and information, Beşyol Mahallesi does not draw any conclusions about the data subject. Rather, this information is needed in order to (1) deliver the content of our website correctly, (2) optimise the content of our website as well as the advertising for it, (3) ensure the long-term operability of our information technology systems and the technology of our website, and (4) provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for criminal prosecution in the event of a cyber attack. This anonymously collected data and information is therefore evaluated by Beşyol Mahallesi on the one hand statistically and, furthermore, with the aim of increasing data protection and data security in our company, in order ultimately to ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data we process. The anonymous data of the server log files is stored separately from all personal data provided by a data subject.
If you are a customer of ours or have purchased one of our products or made use of one of our services, we use your telephone number and e-mail address to send you information via messenger, e-mail or telephone regarding advice and the promotion of our own similar offers. You can object to this use at any time, by telephone, e-mail, messenger or post.
We use your data in connection with the agreement between us and you for information, advice, support and the promotion of our own similar offers.
If you are not yet our customer and do not wish to receive advertising, we will change this for you immediately. You have the option to withdraw your consent at any time. The withdrawal has the effect that we will not seek any communication with you in the future and that you will not receive any advice, support or offers for similar services.
The data subject has the possibility to register on the website of the controller by providing personal data. Which personal data is transmitted to the controller results from the respective input mask used for the registration. The personal data entered by the data subject is collected and stored exclusively for internal use by the controller and for its own purposes. The controller may arrange for the transfer to one or more processors, for example a parcel service provider, who also uses 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 the registration, are also stored. The storage of this data takes place against the background that this is the only way to prevent misuse of our services and, if necessary, this data makes it possible to investigate criminal offences that have been committed. In this respect, the storage of this data is necessary to secure the controller. As a matter of principle, this data is not passed on to third parties unless there is a legal obligation to pass it on or the transfer serves the purpose of criminal prosecution.
The registration of the data subject with the voluntary provision of personal data serves the controller to offer the data subject content or services which, by the nature of the matter, can only be offered to registered users. Registered persons are free to change the personal data provided during registration at any time, or to have it completely deleted from the controller’s data records.
The controller shall at any time, on request, provide each data subject with information about which personal data is stored about the data subject. Furthermore, the controller shall correct or erase personal data at the request or indication of the data subject, insofar as this does not conflict with any statutory retention obligations. All of the controller’s employees are available to the data subject as contact persons in this context.
On the website of Beşyol Mahallesi, users are given the opportunity to subscribe to our company’s newsletter. Which personal data is transmitted to the controller when ordering the newsletter results from the input mask used for this purpose.
Beşyol Mahallesi informs its customers and business partners at regular intervals by means of a newsletter about offers of the company. Our company’s newsletter can, in principle, only be received by the data subject if (1) the data subject has a valid e-mail address and (2) the data subject registers for the newsletter dispatch.
When registering for the newsletter, we also store the IP address assigned by the internet service provider (ISP) of the computer system used by the data subject at the time of registration, as well as the date and time of registration. The collection of this data is necessary in order to be able to trace the (possible) misuse of the e-mail address of a data subject at a later point in time, and therefore serves the legal protection of the controller.
The personal data collected in connection with a registration for the newsletter is used exclusively to send our newsletter. Furthermore, subscribers to the newsletter could be informed by e-mail if this is necessary for the operation of the newsletter service or a related registration, as could be the case with changes to the newsletter offer or with a change in the technical conditions. There is no transfer of the personal data collected in connection with the newsletter service to third parties. The subscription to our newsletter can be cancelled by the data subject at any time. The consent to the storage of personal data which the data subject has given us for the newsletter dispatch can be withdrawn at any time. For the purpose of withdrawing consent, a corresponding link can be found in every newsletter. It is also possible to unsubscribe from the newsletter dispatch at any time directly on the website of the controller, or to notify the controller of this in another way.
The newsletters of Beşyol Mahallesi contain so-called tracking pixels. A tracking pixel is a miniature graphic which is embedded in such e-mails that are sent in HTML format in order to enable a log file recording and a log file analysis. This makes it possible to carry out a statistical evaluation of the success or failure of online marketing campaigns. By means of the embedded tracking pixel, Beşyol Mahallesi can recognise whether and when an e-mail was opened by a data subject and which links contained in the e-mail were accessed by the data subject.
Such personal data collected via the tracking pixels contained in the newsletters is stored and evaluated by the controller in order to optimise the newsletter dispatch and to adapt the content of future newsletters even better to the interests of the data subject. This personal data is not passed on to third parties. Data subjects are entitled at any time to withdraw the separate declaration of consent given in this respect via the double opt-in procedure. After a withdrawal, this personal data is deleted by the controller. Beşyol Mahallesi automatically interprets an unsubscription from the receipt of the newsletter as a withdrawal.
The website of Beşyol Mahallesi contains, due to statutory provisions, information that enables a quick electronic contact to our company as well as direct communication with us, which also includes a general address of the so-called electronic mail (e-mail address). If a data subject contacts the controller by e-mail or via a contact form, the personal data transmitted by the data subject is stored automatically. Such personal data transmitted on a voluntary basis by a data subject to the controller is stored for the purposes of processing or contacting the data subject. By entering your data in our forms, you grant us permission to store it and use it for advertising purposes.
Beşyol Mahallesi offers users the possibility to leave individual comments on individual blog posts on a blog located on the website of the controller. A blog is a portal maintained on a website, usually publicly accessible, in which one or more persons, called bloggers or web bloggers, can post articles or write down thoughts in so-called blog posts. The blog posts can usually be commented on by third parties.
If a data subject leaves a comment on the blog published on this website, in addition to the comments left by the data subject, information about the time of the comment entry as well as the user name (pseudonym) chosen by the data subject is also stored and published. Furthermore, the IP address assigned by the internet service provider (ISP) of the data subject is also logged. This storage of the IP address takes place for security reasons and in the event that the data subject infringes the rights of third parties or posts unlawful content by means of a comment. The storage of this personal data therefore takes place in the controller’s own interest, so that the controller could exculpate itself in the event of an infringement of the law. This collected personal data is not passed on to third parties, unless such a transfer is required by law or serves the legal defence of the controller.
The controller processes and stores the personal data of the data subject only for the period necessary to achieve the purpose of storage, or insofar as this is provided for by the European legislator or another legislator in laws or regulations to which the controller is subject.
If the purpose of storage no longer applies, or if a storage period prescribed by the European legislator or another competent legislator expires, the personal data is routinely blocked or erased in accordance with the statutory provisions.
Every data subject has the right, granted by the European legislator, to obtain from the controller confirmation as to whether or not personal data concerning him or her is being processed. If a data subject wishes to make use of this right of confirmation, he or she can, at any time, contact an employee of the controller.
Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right, granted by the European legislator, to obtain from the controller free information about the personal data stored about him or her and a copy of this information at any time. Furthermore, the European legislator has granted the data subject access to the following information:
Furthermore, the data subject has the right to be informed whether personal data has been transferred to a third country or to an international organisation. Where this is the case, the data subject also has the right to be informed of the appropriate safeguards relating to the transfer.
If a data subject wishes to make use of this right of access, he or she can, at any time, contact an employee of the controller.
Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right, granted by the European legislator, to obtain without undue delay the rectification of inaccurate personal data concerning him or her. Furthermore, the data subject has the right to have incomplete personal data completed, taking into account the purposes of the processing, including by means of providing a supplementary statement.
If a data subject wishes to make use of this right to rectification, he or she can, at any time, contact an employee of the controller.
Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right, granted by the European legislator, to obtain from the controller the erasure of personal data concerning him or her without undue delay, where one of the following grounds applies and insofar as the processing is not necessary:
If one of the aforementioned grounds applies and a data subject wishes to arrange for the erasure of personal data stored by Beşyol Mahallesi, he or she can, at any time, contact an employee of the controller. The employee of Beşyol Mahallesi will arrange for the erasure request to be complied with without undue delay.
If the personal data was made public by Beşyol Mahallesi and our company, as controller, is obliged to erase the personal data pursuant to Art. 17(1) GDPR, Beşyol Mahallesi shall, taking account of available technology and the cost of implementation, take reasonable steps, including technical measures, to inform other controllers processing the published personal data that the data subject has requested the erasure by such other controllers of any links to, or copies or replications of, that personal data, insofar as the processing is not necessary. The employee of Beşyol Mahallesi will arrange the necessary measures in individual cases.
Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right, granted by the European legislator, to obtain from the controller restriction of processing where one of the following applies:
If one of the aforementioned conditions is met and a data subject wishes to request the restriction of personal data stored by Beşyol Mahallesi, he or she can, at any time, contact an employee of the controller. The employee of Beşyol Mahallesi will arrange the restriction of processing.
Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right, granted by the European legislator, to receive the personal data concerning him or her, which was provided to a controller by the data subject, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. He or she also has the right to transmit that data to another controller without hindrance from the controller to which the personal data was provided, as long as the processing is based on consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR or Art. 9(2)(a) GDPR, or on a contract pursuant to Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR, and the processing is carried out by automated means, provided that the processing is not necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller.
Furthermore, in exercising his or her right to data portability pursuant to Art. 20(1) GDPR, the data subject has the right to have the personal data transmitted directly from one controller to another, where technically feasible and where doing so does not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others.
In order to assert the right to data portability, the data subject may, at any time, contact an employee of Beşyol Mahallesi.
Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right, granted by the European legislator, to object, on grounds relating to his or her particular situation, at any time to the processing of personal data concerning him or her which is based on Art. 6(1)(e) or (f) GDPR. This also applies to profiling based on these provisions.
In the event of an objection, Beşyol Mahallesi will no longer process the personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override the interests, rights and freedoms of the data subject, or the processing serves the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.
If Beşyol Mahallesi processes personal data in order to carry out direct marketing, the data subject has the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data for the purposes of such marketing. This also applies to profiling to the extent that it is related to such direct marketing. If the data subject objects to Beşyol Mahallesi to the processing for direct marketing purposes, Beşyol Mahallesi will no longer process the personal data for these purposes.
In addition, the data subject has the right, on grounds relating to his or her particular situation, to object to the processing of personal data concerning him or her which is carried out by Beşyol Mahallesi for scientific or historical research purposes, or for statistical purposes pursuant to Art. 89(1) GDPR, unless such processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out for reasons of public interest.
In order to exercise the right to object, the data subject may directly contact any employee of Beşyol Mahallesi or another employee. The data subject is also free, in the context of the use of information society services, and notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC, to exercise his or her right to object by automated means using technical specifications.
Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right, granted by the European legislator, not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing — including profiling — which produces legal effects concerning him or her, or similarly significantly affects him or her, as long as the decision (1) is not necessary for entering into, or the performance of, a contract between the data subject and the controller, or (2) is not 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 not based on the data subject’s explicit consent.
If the decision (1) is necessary for entering into, or the performance of, a contract between the data subject and the controller, or (2) is based on the data subject’s explicit consent, Beşyol Mahallesi shall implement suitable measures to safeguard the data subject’s rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, at least the right to obtain human intervention on the part of the controller, to express his or her point of view and to contest the decision.
If the data subject wishes to assert rights concerning automated decision-making, he or she can, at any time, contact an employee of the controller.
Every data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right, granted by the European legislator, to withdraw consent to the processing of personal data at any time.
If the data subject wishes to exercise the right to withdraw consent, he or she can, at any time, contact an employee of the controller.
The controller collects and processes the personal data of applicants for the purpose of handling the application procedure. The processing may also take place electronically. This is the case in particular if an applicant submits corresponding application documents electronically, for example by e-mail or via a web form on the website, to the controller. If the controller concludes an employment contract with an applicant, the transmitted data is stored for the purpose of handling the employment relationship in compliance with the statutory provisions. If no employment contract is concluded by the controller with the applicant, the application documents are automatically erased two months after notification of the rejection decision, provided that no other legitimate interests of the controller conflict with such erasure. Another legitimate interest in this sense is, for example, a burden of proof in proceedings under the German General Equal Treatment Act (AGG).
The controller has integrated components of the company 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 with one another and to interact in virtual space. A social network can serve as a platform for the exchange of opinions and experiences, or enables the internet community to provide personal or company-related information. Facebook enables the users of the social network, among other things, to create private profiles, to upload photos and to network via friend requests.
The operating company of Facebook is Facebook, Inc., 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA. If a data subject lives outside the USA or Canada, the controller responsible for the processing of personal data is Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland.
Each time one of the individual pages of this website, which is operated by the controller and on which a Facebook component (Facebook plug-in) has been integrated, is accessed, the internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject is automatically prompted by the respective Facebook component to download a representation of the corresponding Facebook component from Facebook. An overview of all Facebook plug-ins can be accessed at https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/?locale=de_DE. In the course of this technical procedure, Facebook obtains knowledge of which specific sub-page of our website is visited by the data subject.
If the data subject is logged in to Facebook at the same time, Facebook recognises, with every access to our website by the data subject and for the entire duration of the respective stay on our website, which specific sub-page of our website the data subject visits. This information is collected by the Facebook component and assigned by Facebook to the respective Facebook account of the data subject. If the data subject activates one of the Facebook buttons integrated on our website, for example the “Like” button, or if the data subject submits a comment, Facebook assigns this information to the personal Facebook user account of the data subject and stores this personal data.
Facebook always receives information via the Facebook component that the data subject has visited our website whenever the data subject is logged in to Facebook at the same time as accessing our website; this takes place regardless of whether the data subject clicks on the Facebook component or not. If the data subject does not want such information to be transmitted to Facebook, he or she can prevent the transmission by logging out of his or her Facebook account before accessing our website.
The data policy published by Facebook, which is available at https://de-de.facebook.com/about/privacy/, provides information about the collection, processing and use of personal data by Facebook. It also explains the setting options Facebook offers for the protection of the privacy of the data subject. In addition, various applications are available that make it possible to suppress a data transmission to Facebook. Such applications can be used by the data subject to suppress a data transmission to Facebook.
The controller has integrated Google AdSense on this website. Google AdSense is an online service which enables the placement of advertising on third-party sites. Google AdSense is based on an algorithm which selects the advertisements displayed on third-party sites to match the content of the respective third-party site. Google AdSense allows an interest-based targeting of the internet user, which is implemented by generating individual user profiles.
The operating company of the Google AdSense component is Alphabet Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA.
The purpose of the Google AdSense component is the integration of advertisements on our website. Google AdSense sets a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. What cookies are was already explained above. With the setting of the cookie, Alphabet Inc. is enabled to analyse the use of our website. Each time one of the individual pages of this website, which is operated by the controller and on which a Google AdSense component has been integrated, is accessed, the internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject is automatically prompted by the respective Google AdSense component to transmit data to Alphabet Inc. for the purpose of online advertising and the settlement of commissions. In the course of this technical procedure, Alphabet Inc. obtains knowledge of personal data such as the IP address of the data subject, which serves Alphabet Inc., among other things, to trace the origin of visitors and clicks and subsequently to enable commission settlements.
The data subject can, as already explained above, prevent the setting of cookies by our website at any time by means of a corresponding setting in the internet browser used, and can thus permanently object to the setting of 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, a cookie already set by Alphabet Inc. can be deleted at any time via the internet browser or other software programs.
Google AdSense also uses so-called tracking pixels. A tracking pixel is a miniature graphic that is embedded in websites to enable a log file recording and a log file analysis, by means of which a statistical evaluation can be carried out. By means of the embedded tracking pixel, Alphabet Inc. can recognise whether and when a website was opened by a data subject and which links were clicked by the data subject. Tracking pixels serve, among other things, to evaluate the flow of visitors to a website.
Via Google AdSense, personal data and information, which also includes the IP address and is necessary for the collection and settlement of the advertisements displayed, is transmitted to Alphabet Inc. in the United States of America. This personal data is stored and processed in the United States of America. Alphabet Inc. may pass on this personal data collected via the technical procedure to third parties.
Google AdSense is explained in more detail at this link: https://www.google.de/intl/de/adsense/start/.
The controller has integrated the component Google Analytics (with anonymisation function) on this website. Google Analytics is a web analytics service. Web analytics is the collection, gathering and evaluation of data about the behaviour of visitors to websites. Among other things, a web analytics service collects data about the website from which a data subject has come to a website (so-called referrers), which sub-pages of the website were accessed, or how often and for what duration a sub-page was viewed. Web analytics is predominantly used to optimise a website and for the cost-benefit analysis of internet advertising.
The operating company of the Google Analytics component is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA.
For the web analytics via Google Analytics, the controller uses the addition “_gat._anonymizeIp”. By means of this addition, the IP address of the internet connection of the data subject is shortened and anonymised by Google if our websites are accessed from a Member State of the European Union or from another contracting state to the Agreement on the European Economic Area.
The purpose of the Google Analytics component is the analysis of visitor flows on 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 activities on our websites, and to provide further services connected with the use of our website.
Google Analytics sets a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. What cookies are was already explained above. With the setting of the cookie, Google is enabled to analyse the use of our website. Each time one of the individual pages of this website, which is operated by the controller and on which a Google Analytics component has been integrated, is accessed, the internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject is automatically prompted by the respective Google Analytics component to transmit data to Google for the purpose of online analysis. In the course of this technical procedure, Google obtains knowledge of personal data such as the IP address of the data subject, which serves Google, among other things, to trace the origin of visitors and clicks and subsequently to enable commission settlements.
By means of the cookie, personal information such as the access time, the location from which access originated and the frequency of visits to our website by the data subject is stored. Each time our websites are visited, this personal data, including the IP address of the internet connection used by the data subject, is transmitted to Google in the United States of America. This personal data is stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may pass on this personal data collected via the technical procedure to third parties.
The data subject can, as already explained above, prevent the setting of cookies by our website at any time by means of a corresponding setting in the internet browser used, and can thus permanently object to the setting of 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, a cookie already set by Google Analytics can be deleted at any time via the internet browser or other software programs.
Furthermore, the data subject has the possibility to object to and prevent the collection of the data generated by Google Analytics and relating to the use of this website, as well as the processing of this data by Google. To do this, 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 no data and information about visits to websites may be transmitted to Google Analytics. The installation of the browser add-on is regarded by Google as an objection. If the information technology system of the data subject is later deleted, formatted or reinstalled, the data subject must reinstall the browser add-on in order to deactivate Google Analytics. If the browser add-on is uninstalled or deactivated by the data subject or another person attributable to their sphere of control, it is possible to reinstall or reactivate the browser add-on.
Further information and the applicable data protection provisions of Google can be accessed at https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/ and at http://www.google.com/analytics/terms/de.html. Google Analytics is explained in more detail at this link: https://www.google.com/intl/de_de/analytics/.
The controller has integrated services of Google Remarketing on this website. Google Remarketing is a function of Google AdWords that enables a company to display advertising to internet users who have previously stayed on the company’s website. The integration of Google Remarketing therefore allows a company to create user-related advertising and consequently to display interest-relevant advertisements to the internet user.
The operating company of the services of Google Remarketing is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA.
The purpose of Google Remarketing is the display of interest-relevant advertising. Google Remarketing enables us to display advertisements via the Google advertising network or to have them displayed on other websites, which are tailored to the individual needs and interests of internet users.
Google Remarketing sets a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. What cookies are was already explained above. With the setting of the cookie, Google is enabled to recognise the visitor to our website if this visitor subsequently accesses websites that are also members of the Google advertising network. With each access to a website on which the service of Google Remarketing has been integrated, the internet browser of the data subject automatically identifies itself to Google. In the course of this technical procedure, Google obtains knowledge of personal data such as the IP address or the surfing behaviour of the user, which Google uses, among other things, to display interest-relevant advertising.
By means of the cookie, personal information such as the websites visited by the data subject is stored. Each time our websites are visited, personal data, including the IP address of the internet connection used by the data subject, is therefore transmitted to Google in the United States of America. This personal data is stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may pass on this personal data collected via the technical procedure to third parties.
The data subject can, as already explained above, prevent the setting of cookies by our website at any time by means of a corresponding setting in the internet browser used, and can thus permanently object to the setting of 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, a cookie already set by Google Analytics can be deleted at any time via the internet browser or other software programs.
Furthermore, the data subject has the possibility to object to interest-based advertising by Google. To do this, the data subject must call up the link www.google.de/settings/ads from each of the internet browsers used and make the desired settings there.
Further information and the applicable data protection provisions of Google can be accessed at https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/.
The controller has integrated the Google+ button as a component on this website. Google+ is a so-called social network. A social network is a social meeting place operated on the internet, an online community that generally enables users to communicate with one another and to interact in virtual space. A social network can serve as a platform for the exchange of opinions and experiences, or enables the internet community to provide personal or company-related information. Google+ enables the users of the social network, among other things, to create private profiles, to upload photos and to network via friend requests.
The operating company of Google+ is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA.
Each time one of the individual pages of this website, which is operated by the controller and on which a Google+ button has been integrated, is accessed, the internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject is automatically prompted by the respective Google+ button to download a representation of the corresponding Google+ button from Google. In the course of this technical procedure, Google obtains knowledge of which specific sub-page of our website is visited by the data subject. More detailed information about Google+ is available at https://developers.google.com/+/.
If the data subject is logged in to Google+ at the same time, Google recognises, with every access to our website by the data subject and for the entire duration of the respective stay on our website, which specific sub-page of our website the data subject visits. 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 thereby gives a Google +1 recommendation, Google assigns this information to the personal Google+ user account of the data subject and stores this personal data. Google stores the Google +1 recommendation of the data subject and makes it publicly available in accordance with the terms accepted by the data subject in this respect. A Google +1 recommendation given by the data subject on this website is subsequently 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 it, in other Google services, for example the search engine results of the Google search engine, the Google account of the data subject or in other places, for example on websites or in connection with advertisements. Furthermore, Google is able to link the visit to this website with other personal data stored at Google. Google also records this personal information for the purpose of improving or optimising the various Google services.
Google always receives information via the Google+ button that the data subject has visited our website whenever the data subject is logged in to Google+ at the same time as accessing our website; this takes place regardless of whether the data subject clicks on the Google+ button or not.
If the data subject does not want personal data to be transmitted to Google, he or she can prevent such a transmission by logging out of his or her Google+ account before accessing our website.
Further information and the applicable data protection provisions of Google can be accessed at https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/. Further notes from Google about the Google +1 button can be accessed at https://developers.google.com/+/web/buttons-policy.
The controller has integrated Google AdWords on this website. Google AdWords is an internet advertising service that allows advertisers to place ads both in the search engine results of Google and in the Google advertising network. Google AdWords enables an advertiser to define certain keywords in advance by means of which an ad is displayed in the search engine results of Google exclusively when the user retrieves a keyword-relevant search result with the search engine. In the Google advertising network, the ads are distributed on topic-relevant websites by means of an automatic algorithm and in compliance with the previously defined keywords.
The operating company of the services of Google AdWords is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA.
The purpose of Google AdWords is the promotion of our website by displaying interest-relevant advertising on the websites of third-party companies and in the search engine results of the Google search engine, and the display of third-party advertising on our website.
If a data subject reaches our website via a Google ad, a so-called conversion cookie is stored by Google on the information technology system of the data subject. What cookies are was already explained above. A conversion cookie loses its validity after thirty days and is not used to identify the data subject. By means of the conversion cookie it is traced, provided that the cookie has not yet expired, whether certain sub-pages, for example the shopping cart of an online shop system, were accessed on our website. By means of the conversion cookie, both we and Google can trace whether a data subject who reached our website via an AdWords ad generated a sale, that is, completed or cancelled a purchase of goods.
The data and information collected through the use of the conversion cookie is used by Google to create visit statistics for our website. These visit statistics are in turn used by us to determine the total number of users who were referred to us via AdWords ads, that is, 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.
By means of the conversion cookie, personal information such as the websites visited by the data subject is stored. Each time our websites are visited, personal data, including the IP address of the internet connection used by the data subject, is therefore transmitted to Google in the United States of America. This personal data is stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may pass on this personal data collected via the technical procedure to third parties.
The data subject can, as already explained above, prevent the setting of cookies by our website at any time by means of a corresponding setting in the internet browser used, and can thus permanently object to the setting of 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, a cookie already set by Google AdWords can be deleted at any time via the internet browser or other software programs.
Furthermore, the data subject has the possibility to object to interest-based advertising by Google. To do this, the data subject must call up the link www.google.de/settings/ads from each of the internet browsers used and make the desired settings there.

The controller has integrated components of the service Instagram on this website. Instagram is a service that can be qualified as an audiovisual platform and enables users to share photos and videos and, moreover, to further disseminate such data in other social networks.
The operating company of the services of Instagram is Instagram LLC, 1 Hacker Way, Building 14 First Floor, Menlo Park, CA, USA.
Each time one of the individual pages of this website, which is operated by the controller and on which an Instagram component (Insta button) has been integrated, is accessed, the internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject is automatically prompted by the respective Instagram component to download a representation of the corresponding component from Instagram. In the course of this technical procedure, Instagram obtains knowledge of which specific sub-page of our website is visited by the data subject.
If the data subject is logged in to Instagram at the same time, Instagram recognises, with every access to our website by the data subject and for the entire duration of the respective stay on our website, which specific sub-page the data subject visits. This information is collected by the Instagram component and assigned by Instagram to the respective Instagram account of the data subject. If the data subject activates one of the Instagram buttons integrated on our website, the data and information transmitted thereby is assigned to the personal Instagram user account of the data subject and stored and processed by Instagram.
Instagram always receives information via the Instagram component that the data subject has visited our website whenever the data subject is logged in to Instagram at the same time as accessing our website; this takes place regardless of whether the data subject clicks on the Instagram component or not. If the data subject does not want such information to be transmitted to Instagram, he or she can prevent the transmission by logging out of his or her Instagram account before accessing our website.

The controller has integrated Jetpack on this website. Jetpack is a WordPress plug-in that offers additional functions to the operator of a website based on WordPress. Among other things, Jetpack allows the website operator an overview of the visitors to the site. By displaying related posts and publications, or the possibility to share content on the site, it is also possible to increase visitor numbers. In addition, security functions are integrated in Jetpack, so that a website using Jetpack is better protected against brute-force attacks. Jetpack also optimises and speeds up the loading of the images integrated on the website.
The operating company of the Jetpack plug-in for WordPress is Automattic Inc., 132 Hawthorne Street, San Francisco, CA 94107, USA. The operating company uses the tracking technology of Quantcast Inc., 201 Third Street, San Francisco, CA 94103, USA.
Jetpack sets a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. What cookies are was already explained above. Each time one of the individual pages of this website, which is operated by the controller and on which a Jetpack component has been integrated, is accessed, the internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject is automatically prompted by the respective Jetpack component to transmit data for analysis purposes to Automattic. In the course of this technical procedure, Automattic obtains knowledge of data which is subsequently used to create an overview of the website visits. The data obtained in this way serves to analyse the behaviour of the data subject who has accessed the website of the controller, and is evaluated with the aim of optimising the website. The data collected via the Jetpack component is not used to identify the data subject without first obtaining a separate explicit consent of the data subject. The data also comes to the knowledge of Quantcast. Quantcast uses the data for the same purposes as Automattic.
The data subject can, as already explained above, prevent the setting of cookies by our website at any time by means of a corresponding setting in the internet browser used, and can thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Such a setting of the internet browser used would also prevent Automattic/Quantcast from setting a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. In addition, cookies already set by Automattic can be deleted at any time via the internet browser or other software programs.
Furthermore, the data subject has the possibility to object to and prevent the collection of the data generated by the Jetpack cookie and relating to the use of this website, as well as the processing of this data by Automattic/Quantcast. To do this, the data subject must press the opt-out button under the link https://www.quantcast.com/opt-out/, which sets 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 data subject’s system are deleted after an objection, the data subject must call up the link again and set a new opt-out cookie.
However, with the setting of the opt-out cookie, there is a possibility that the websites of the controller are no longer fully usable for the data subject.
The applicable data protection provisions of Automattic are available at https://automattic.com/privacy/. The applicable data protection provisions of Quantcast are available at https://www.quantcast.com/privacy/.

The controller has integrated components of Awin on this website. Awin is a German affiliate network that offers affiliate marketing. Affiliate marketing is an internet-based form of sales that enables commercial operators of websites, the so-called merchants or advertisers, to display advertising, which is usually remunerated via click or sale commissions, on third-party websites, that is, with sales partners who are also called affiliates or publishers. The merchant provides an advertising medium via the affiliate network, that is, an advertising banner or other suitable means of internet advertising, which is subsequently integrated by an affiliate on its own websites or promoted via other channels, such as keyword advertising or e-mail marketing.
The operating company of Awin is Awin AG, Eichhornstraße 3, 10785 Berlin, Germany.
Awin sets a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. What cookies are was already explained above. The tracking cookie of Awin does not store any personal data. Only the identification number of the affiliate, that is, of the partner referring the potential customer, as well as the ordinal number of the visitor to a website and of the advertising medium clicked, are stored. The purpose of storing this data is the settlement of commission payments between a merchant and the affiliate, which are processed via the affiliate network, that is, Awin.
The data subject can, as already explained above, prevent the setting of cookies by our website at any time by means of a corresponding setting in the internet browser used, and can thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Such a setting of the internet browser used would also prevent Awin from setting a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject.

Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR serves as the legal basis for our company for processing operations for which we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose. If the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party, as is the case, for example, with processing operations necessary for a supply of goods or the provision of any other service or consideration, the processing is based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR. The same applies to such processing operations that are necessary for carrying out pre-contractual measures, for example in cases of inquiries about our products or services. If our company is subject to a legal obligation by which processing of personal data becomes necessary, such as for the fulfilment of tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR. In rare cases, the processing of personal data could become necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or of another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor were injured on our premises and, as a result, his or her name, age, health insurance data or other vital information had to be passed on to a doctor, a hospital or other third parties. Then the processing would be based on Art. 6(1)(d) GDPR.
Ultimately, processing operations could be based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Processing operations that are not covered by any of the aforementioned legal bases are based on this legal basis if the processing is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest of our company or of a third party, provided that the interests, fundamental rights and fundamental freedoms of the data subject do not override such interest. Such processing operations are permitted to us in particular because they were specifically mentioned by the European legislator. In this respect, it took the view that a legitimate interest could be assumed if the data subject is a customer of the controller (Recital 47 Sentence 2 GDPR).
Where the processing of personal data is based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR, our legitimate interest is the conduct of our business activities for the benefit of the well-being of all our employees and our shareholders.
The criterion for the period of storage of personal data is the respective statutory retention period. After the period expires, the corresponding data is routinely erased, provided that it is no longer necessary for the performance of a contract or the initiation of a contract.
We clarify that the provision of personal data is partly required by law (e.g. tax regulations) or may also arise from contractual provisions (e.g. information about the contracting partner).
Sometimes it may be necessary for the conclusion of a contract that a data subject provides us with personal data which must subsequently be processed by us. For example, the data subject is obliged to provide us with personal data if our company concludes a contract with him or her. A failure to provide the personal data would have the consequence that the contract with the data subject could not be concluded.
Before personal data is provided by the data subject, the data subject must contact one of our employees. On a case-by-case basis, our employee clarifies for the data subject whether the provision of the personal data is required by law or contract, or is necessary for the conclusion of the contract, whether there is an obligation to provide the personal data, and what consequences the failure to provide the personal data would have.
As a responsible company, we do not use automatic decision-making or profiling.
