Use of Meta Pixel
We use the Meta Pixel from Meta Platforms Ireland Limited (4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland; "Meta") on our website.
Meta and we are joint controllers for the collection of your data and its transmission to Meta when the service is integrated. This is based on an agreement between us and Meta on the joint processing of personal data, which defines the respective responsibilities. The agreement can be accessed at https://de-de.facebook.com/legal/terms/businesstools (https://de-de.facebook.com/legal/terms/businesstools). According to this, we are primarily responsible for fulfilling the information obligations according to Art. 13, 14 GDPR, for complying with the security requirements of Art. 32 GDPR regarding the correct technical implementation and configuration of the service, and for complying with the obligations under Art. 33, 34 GDPR, insofar as a personal data breach affects our obligations under the joint processing agreement. Meta is responsible for enabling data subject rights according to Art. 15 - 20 GDPR, for complying with the security requirements of Art. 32 GDPR regarding the security of the service, and for complying with the obligations under Art. 33, 34 GDPR, insofar as a personal data breach affects Meta's obligations under the joint processing agreement.
The application serves the purpose of targeting website visitors with interest-based advertising on the social networks Facebook and Instagram. For this purpose, Meta's remarketing tag has been implemented on the website. This tag establishes a direct connection to Meta's servers when the website is visited. This transmits to Meta's server which of our pages you have visited. Meta associates this information with your personal Facebook and/or Instagram user account. When you visit the social networks Facebook or Instagram, personalized, interest-based ads will then be displayed to you.
The application also serves the purpose of creating conversion statistics. This allows us to find out the total number of users who clicked on one of our ads and were redirected to a page with a conversion tracking tag, as well as what actions are taken after being redirected to this website. However, we do not receive any information that allows users to be personally identified.
Your data may be transferred to the USA. For the USA, an adequacy decision by the EU Commission exists, the Trans-Atlantic Data Privacy Framework (TADPF). Meta has certified itself under the TADPF and has thereby committed to comply with European data protection principles.

Use of Google Ads Conversion Tracking
We use the online advertising program "Google Ads" on our website and, within this framework, conversion tracking (visit action evaluation). Google Conversion Tracking is an analytics service of Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland; Google).
When you click on an ad placed by Google, a cookie for conversion tracking is placed on your computer. These cookies have a limited validity, do not contain any personal data, and therefore do not serve for personal identification. If you visit certain pages of our website and the cookie has not yet expired, Google and we can recognize that you clicked on the ad and were redirected to this page. Each Google Ads customer receives a different cookie. Thus, there is no possibility that cookies can be tracked across the websites of Ads customers.
The information obtained using the conversion cookie serves the purpose of creating conversion statistics. This tells us the total number of users who clicked on one of our ads and were redirected to a page with a conversion tracking tag. We do not, however, receive any information that allows users to be personally identified. We use the extended implementation of consent mode (Advanced Consent Mode). Even if consent is not given, user data is transmitted to Google in the form of "pings". These pings can include, among other things, the following information: IP address for deriving the IP country (the IP address is not logged), date and time of the page view, URL of the visited pages, user agent, referrer URL (website from which our website was accessed) or information about the triggering of website events such as a conversion. Based on this information, Google models user data in order to carry out a comprehensive usage analysis despite the refusal of consent.
Your data may be transmitted to Google LLC's servers in the USA. For the USA, an adequacy decision by the EU Commission exists, the Trans-Atlantic Data Privacy Framework (TADPF). Google has certified itself under the TADPF and has thereby committed to comply with European data protection principles.
The use of cookies or similar technologies is based on your consent in accordance with Section 25 (1) Sentence 1 TDDDG in conjunction with Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR. The processing of your personal data is based on your consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR. You can withdraw your consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.

Use of TikTok Pixel

Data processing serves the purpose of identifying and analyzing website access by our customers, as well as better customer engagement through targeted advertising and evaluating the effectiveness of ads on TikTok.

However, personal identification of users is not possible.

TikTok is not certified under the TADPF. The data transfer to the USA and to third countries without an adequacy decision takes place, among other things, on the basis of standard contractual clauses as appropriate safeguards for the protection of personal data, which can be viewed at: https://commission.europa.eu/law/law-topic/data-protection/international-dimension-data-protection/standard-contractual-clauses-scc_de (https://commission.europa.eu/law/law-topic/data-protection/international-dimension-data-protection/standard-contractual-clauses-scc_de).
