3. general information on data processing

1. scope of the processing of personal data

We only process our users' personal data insofar as this is necessary to provide a functional website and our content and services. The processing of our users' personal data only takes place regularly with the user's consent. An exception applies in cases where prior consent cannot be obtained for factual reasons and the processing of the data is required by law.

2. legal basis for the processing of personal data

The basis for the processing of personal data in Switzerland is Art. 4 et seq. of the FADP. Insofar as the processing falls within the scope of the GDPR, Art. 6 GDPR serves as the legal basis.

Insofar as we obtain the consent of the data subject for the processing of personal data, Art. 4 para. 5 and 6 para. 2 lit. b FADP and Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR serve as the legal basis.

When processing personal data that is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, Art. 6 para. 2 lit. a FADP and Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b GDPR serve as the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations that are necessary for the performance of pre-contractual measures.

Insofar as the processing of personal data is necessary to fulfill a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Art. 4 DSG and Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. c GDPR serve as the legal basis.

If the processing is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest of our company or a third party and if the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not outweigh the former interest, Art. 13 FADP and Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR serve as the legal basis for the processing.

3. data deletion and storage duration

The personal data of the data subject will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of storage no longer applies. Data may also be stored if this has been provided for by the European or national legislator in EU regulations, laws or other provisions to which the controller is subject. The data will also be blocked or erased if a storage period prescribed by the aforementioned standards expires, unless there is a need for further storage of the data for the conclusion or fulfillment of a contract.

On this basis, we generally process personal data in compliance with the following rules and obligations:

  • The personal data automatically transmitted by you through the use of our website for the purpose of displaying, operating and ensuring the functionality of the website will be deleted within three to six months.
  • The personal data you transmit to us in connection with the use of our services and products will generally be stored by us until you ask 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).
  • For contract-related personal data (including business documents and communications), we store personal data for as long as the contractual relationship exists and thereafter for a further ten years after termination of the contractual relationship, unless (i) a shorter or longer statutory retention obligation applies in individual cases, (ii) retention is required for reasons of proof or for another valid reason under applicable law, or (iii) deletion of the data is required earlier (e.g. because the data is no longer required or we have to delete the corresponding data).

4. transfer of personal data outside the EU/EEA (Art. 6 FADP)

The personal data collected via our website is stored in Switzerland and Germany. In addition, we may transfer, store and process your personal data at data locations around the world, e.g. where our third-party providers or partners are located. Therefore, we may transfer your personal data outside the European Economic Area (EEA) if this is necessary for the data processing described in this Privacy Policy in accordance with applicable law.

Where data is transferred to countries that do not ensure an adequate level of protection, we ensure an adequate level of data protection by taking appropriate measures, such as contractual safeguards (e.g. based on EU standard clauses), based on binding corporate rules, the transfer of data in accordance with your explicit consent, for the conclusion or performance of a contract with you, or in connection with the establishment, exercise or enforcement of legal claims. For more information about our appropriate safeguards, please contact us by email at info@berformance.com.

If personal data is transferred to third countries for which there is no adequacy decision by the European Commission, this only takes place if there are suitable guarantees within the meaning of Art. 46 GDPR. Facebook is certified under the Privacy Shield Agreement and thus offers a guarantee of compliance with European data protection law.

 

4. rights of the data subject

If your personal data is processed, you have the following rights vis-à-vis the controller:

1. the right to information (Art. 8 FADP; Art. 15 GDPR)

You have the right to request confirmation from us as to whether personal data concerning you is being processed.
If this is the case, you have a right to information about this data and to the following information:

    • Processing purposes

    • If applicable, origin of the data (if collected from a third party)
    • If applicable, the existence of automated decision-making including profiling with meaningful information about the logic involved, the scope and the expected effects
    • Possible transfer of personal data to a third country or international organization

You have the right to request information as to whether the personal data concerning you is transferred to a third country or to an international organization. In this context, you may request to be informed of the appropriate safeguards pursuant to Art. 46 GDPR in connection with the transfer.

2. right to rectification (Art. 5 para. 2 FADP; Art. 16 GDPR)

If your personal data is incorrect or incomplete, you have the right to request that your personal data be corrected or supplemented without delay.

3. right to restriction of processing (Art. 18 GDPR)

If one of the following conditions is met, you have the right to request that the processing of your personal data be restricted:

    • You contest the accuracy of your personal data for a period enabling us to verify the accuracy of the personal data.
    • In the event of unlawful processing, you object to the erasure of the personal data and instead request the restriction of the use of the personal data.
    • We no longer need your personal data for the purposes of processing, but you need your personal data to assert, exercise or defend your legal claims, or
    •  after you have objected to the processing in accordance with Art. 21 para. 1 GDPR, for the duration of the examination as to whether our legitimate reasons outweigh your reasons.

4. right to erasure ("right to be forgotten") (Art. 12 and 15 FADP; 17 GDPR)

If one of the following reasons applies, you have the right to demand the immediate deletion of your personal data:

    • Your data are no longer necessary for the processing purposes for which they were originally collected.
    • you withdraw your consent and there is no other legal basis for the processing.
    • You object to the processing and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing or you object pursuant to Art. 21 (2) GDPR.
    • Your personal data is being processed unlawfully.
    • The deletion is necessary to fulfill a legal obligation under Union law or the law of the Member State to which we are subject.
    • The personal data was collected in relation to information society services offered in accordance with Article 8 (1) GDPR.

Please note that the above reasons do not apply if the processing is necessary:

    • To exercise the right to freedom of expression and information;
    • For compliance with a legal obligation or for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest to which we are subject.
    • For reasons of public interest in the area of public health in accordance with Art. 9 para. 2 lit. h and i and Art. 9 para. 3 GDPR.
    • For archiving purposes in the public interest, scientific or historical research purposes or for statistical purposes.
  • o for the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims
  • o there is a justification according to Art 13 FADP.

5. right to information

If you have asserted the right to rectification, erasure or restriction of processing against the controller, the controller is obliged to notify all recipients to whom the personal data concerning you have been disclosed of this rectification or erasure of the data or restriction of processing, unless this proves impossible or involves a disproportionate effort. You have the right vis-à-vis the controller to be informed about these recipients.

6. right to data portability (Art. 20 GDPR)

You have the right to receive your personal data in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format or to request that it be transmitted to another controller. You also have the right to transmit this data to another controller without hindrance from the controller to which the personal data has been provided, where

  • the processing is based on consent pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR or Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a GDPR or on a contract pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR and
  • the processing is carried out using automated procedures.

In exercising this right, you also have the right to have the personal data concerning you transmitted directly from one controller to another, where technically feasible. The freedoms and rights of other persons must not be affected by this. The right to data portability does not apply to the processing of personal data necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller.

7. right to object to certain data processing (Art. 12 and 15 FADP; Art. 21 GDPR)

You have the right to object, on grounds relating to your particular situation, at any time to processing of personal data concerning you which is based on point (e) or (f) of Article 6(1) GDPR. This also applies to profiling based on these provisions.

If your personal data is processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of your personal data for such marketing, which includes profiling to the extent that it is related to such direct marketing.

If you object to processing for direct marketing purposes, the personal data concerning you will no longer be processed for these purposes. You have the option of exercising your right to object in connection with the use of information society services - notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC - by means of automated procedures using technical specifications.

8. right to revoke the declaration of consent under data protection law

You have the right to withdraw your declaration of consent under data protection law at any time. The withdrawal of consent shall not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.

9. right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority

Without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority if you consider that the processing of personal data relating to you infringes data protection regulations.

10. security (Art. 7 FADP)

Berformance has implemented organizational and technical measures to maintain the security of personal data and to protect it against unauthorized or unlawful processing, accidental loss, alteration, disclosure or access.

SSL encryption is used as standard on the website to protect the transmission of your personal data. This encryption protects the data transmitted between your browser and the website.

Berformance may use third parties as data processors to collect and process your personal data in accordance with Art. 10a FADP. The data processors commissioned by us will only process your personal data in accordance with our instructions and are legally obliged to take strict security precautions when handling personal data.

Berformance takes the necessary measures to ensure that only authorized personnel and auxiliary persons who have the necessary knowledge have access to your personal data in order to fulfill the purposes for which your personal data was collected.

We may disclose your personal data to the following possible categories of recipients in accordance with the purposes and legal bases of processing described above, insofar as this is necessary for the intended data processing:

  • Experts and other Berformance service providers as part of an inquiry,
  • Service providers who process personal data on behalf of and on the instructions of Berformance (so-called processors, for example in the areas of IT, hosting and support),
  • Service providers, other business partners and auxiliary persons (e.g. lawyers),
  • Authorities, official bodies, courts or other state institutions,
  • social media,
  • other parties in potential or actual legal proceedings.

We select our partners and processors carefully and only if we have sufficient guarantees that they have suitable technical and organizational measures in place in accordance with the legal requirements. Our processors may only process personal data on our documented instructions. They are all subject to confidentiality requirements and may only use your personal data to the extent necessary to fulfill the purpose for which your personal data was collected, unless otherwise required by law.

11. data protection declarations of third-party providers

Please note that if you click on the link to a third-party website (e.g. Google or social media or other websites), you will be redirected to a website that we do not control and our Privacy Policy will no longer apply. Your browsing and interaction on another website is subject to the terms of use and privacy policies and notices of those third party websites. We are not responsible or liable for the information content and data processing of such third party websites. Furthermore, we cannot guarantee the accuracy and timeliness of these links.

12. children

Our website is not intended for children and we do not knowingly collect personal data from children under the age of 16 unless we have the express consent of their parents. If we are notified or otherwise learn that personal information of a child under the age of 16 has been improperly collected, we will take all reasonable steps to delete that personal information.

 

5. provision of the website and creation of log files

1. description and scope of data processing

Each time our website is accessed, our system automatically collects data and information from the computer system of the accessing computer.

The following data is collected:

    • Information about the browser type and version used
    • The user's operating system
    • Language and version of the browser software
    • The user's internet service provider
    • The IP address of the user
    • Date and time of access
    • Time zone difference to Greenwich Mean Time (GMT)
    • Websites from which the user's system accesses our website
    • Websites that are accessed by the user's system via our website

This personal data is not merged with other personal data and is stored separately from any other personal data transmitted by the user. This data is stored in the log files of our system. This data is not stored together with other personal data of the user. The user's IP address is stored anonymously so that it is no longer possible to identify the calling client.

2. purpose of data processing

Temporary storage of the IP address by the system is necessary to enable delivery of the website to the user's computer. For this purpose, the user's IP address must remain stored for the duration of the session.

Data is stored in log files to ensure the functionality of the website. In addition, we use the data to optimize the website and to ensure the security of our information technology systems. The data is not analyzed for marketing purposes in this context.

These purposes also constitute our legitimate interest in data processing in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR.

Berformance uses the automatically collected personal data to fulfill the following purposes:

    • to enable the display, operation and functionality of the website,
    • ensure the stability and security of the system,
    • to improve and protect our services,
    • for statistical purposes in the event of attacks on the network infrastructure on which the website is made available.

3. legal basis for data processing

The legal basis for the temporary storage of data and log files is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR.

4. duration of storage

The data is deleted as soon as it is no longer required to achieve the purpose for which it was collected. In the case of the collection of data for the provision of the website, this is the case when the respective session has ended.

If the data is stored in log files, this is the case after seven days at the latest. Storage beyond this period is possible. In this case, the IP addresses of the users are deleted or anonymized so that it is no longer possible to identify the accessing client.

5. possibility of objection

The collection of data for the provision of the website and the storage of data in log files is absolutely necessary for the operation of the website. The user can object to this. Whether the objection is successful must be determined as part of a weighing of interests.

 

6. use of cookies

1. description and scope of data processing

When you visit our website, we use technical aids for various functions, in particular cookies, which can be stored on your end device. When you access our website and at any time thereafter, you have the choice of whether you generally allow cookies to be set or which individual additional functions you would like to select. You can make changes in your browser settings or via our Consent Manager. Cookies are text files or information in a database that are stored on your hard disk and assigned to the browser you are using so that certain information can flow to the location that sets the cookie. Below we describe the type of cookies we use:

We use technically necessary cookies that are required for the technical structure of the website. Without these cookies, our website cannot be displayed (completely correctly) or the support functions are not possible.

The following data is stored and transmitted by the technically necessary cookies:

    • Language settings
    • Log-in information
    • Search terms entered
    • Frequency of page views
    • Use of website functions

We use cookies on our website that are not technically necessary. Cookies that are not technically necessary are text files that are not only used for the functionality of the website, but also collect other data.

By setting technically unnecessary cookies, the following data is processed:

    • IP address
    • Location of Internet users
    • Date and time the website was accessed
    • Customization of advertisements to the user
    • Tracking of surfing behavior
    • Linking the website visit with other social media platforms

The user data collected is anonymized by technical precautions, which is why it is no longer possible to assign the data to the calling user.

When accessing our website, the user is informed about the use of cookies for analysis purposes and his consent to the processing of the personal data used in this context is obtained.

2. categories of cookies that we use

Depending on their function and purpose, the cookies we use can be divided into the following categories: functional cookies, performance cookies and advertising cookies.

    • Functional cookies serve a variety of purposes for the presentation, functionality and performance of a website and in particular to improve the experience and enjoyment of visitors to the website. They allow a website to remember information already provided (e.g. user name, location or language selection) and offer visitors improved, more personalized features. Functional cookies are used, for example, to remember things like your login details. These cookies cannot track your movement on other websites.
    • Performance cookies are used to collect information about how a website is used - for example, how visitors arrived at our website, which pages a visitor opens most frequently, how you navigated our website during your visit and whether you receive error messages from a page. We may also use these cookies to provide us with certain statistical and analytical information, such as how many visitors have come to our website. These cookies are used to monitor the level of activity on the website and to improve the performance of the website.
    • Advertising cookies allow us or a third party provider to serve ads on our website or on third party websites with products that the user likes, so that the ads the user sees may be more relevant to the user's preferences or interests (sometimes referred to as "targeting cookies"). They can also be used to evaluate the effectiveness of advertising and promotions.

These cookies may be placed by us or by a third party on our behalf. You can find more information about cookies and how they are used at: http://www.allaboutcookies.org/. You can configure your browser settings so that no cookies are stored on your computer. The complete deactivation of cookies may mean that you cannot use all the functions of our website.

By continuing to use our website, you consent to cookies being set by us and thus to personal usage data being collected, stored and used, even beyond the end of the browser session. You can revoke this consent at any time by activating the browser setting to refuse third-party cookies.

3. purpose of data processing

The purpose of using technically necessary cookies is to ensure the functionality of our website. Some functions of our website cannot be offered without the use of cookies. For these, it is necessary for the browser to be recognized even after a page change.

We require the technically necessary cookies for the following applications:

    • Transfer of language settings
    • Functionality of the website

The user data collected by cookies is not used to create user profiles. Cookies that are not technically necessary are used for the purpose of improving the quality of our website, its content and thus our reach and efficiency. By setting these cookies, we learn how the website is used and can thus constantly optimize our offer. In particular, these cookies serve the following purposes:

Adapt advertising to the respective user. Track the surfing behavior on our website. Connecting the website visit with other social media platforms.

4. legal basis for data processing

The provisions of the Telecommunications and Telemedia Data Protection Act (TTDSG) apply to the storage of information in the end user's terminal equipment and/or access to information already stored in the end user's terminal equipment. If the setting and reading of cookies is technically necessary, this is done to ensure the functionality of our website. In this case, the storage of and access to cookies on your terminal equipment takes place on the basis of Section 25 (2) No. 2 TTDSG. The purpose of storing and accessing the information in your terminal equipment is to make it easier for you to use our website and to be able to offer you our services as you have requested. Some functions of our website do not work without the use of these cookies and could therefore not be offered. The cookies are generally deleted at the end of the session (e.g. logging out or closing the browser) or after a specified period of time. Information on different storage periods for cookies can be found in the following sections of this privacy policy.

5. revocation and removal option

Insofar as cookies are used that are not technically necessary, this is done on the basis of your express consent, which you can give via the cookie banner. In this case, the basis for storing and accessing information is Art. 4 para. 5 and 6 para. 2 lit. b GDPR and § 25 para. 1 TTDSG in conjunction with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a), Art. 7 GDPR. Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a), Art. 7 GDPR. You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future or give it again at a later date by configuring your cookie settings accordingly. Alternatively, you can prevent the storage of cookies by making the appropriate settings in your browser software. Please note that the browser settings you make only apply to the browser you are using. If personal data is processed following the storage of and access to the information on your end device, the provisions of the GDPR apply. You can find information on this in the following sections of this privacy policy.

13. hosting

The website is hosted on our own servers. Third parties do not have access to server log files.

The servers automatically collect and store information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits when you visit the website. The information stored is

    • Browser type and browser version
    • Operating system used
    • Referrer URL
    • Host name of the accessing computer
    • Date and time of the server request
    • IP address

This data is not merged with other data sources. This data is collected on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the technically error-free presentation and optimization of its website - the server log files must be recorded for this purpose.

The location of the website server is geographically located in the European Union (EU) or the European Economic Area (EEA).

14 Geotargeting

We use the IP address and other information provided by the user (in particular the zip code during registration or ordering) for regional targeting (so-called "geotargeting").

Regional targeting is used, for example, to automatically show you regional offers or advertising that are often more relevant to users. The legal basis for the use of the IP address and any other information provided by the user (in particular zip code) is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR, based on our interest in ensuring a more precise target group approach and thus providing offers and advertising with greater relevance for users.

Part of the IP address and the additional information provided by the user (in particular the zip code) is only read out and not stored separately.

You can prevent geotargeting by using a VPN or proxy server, for example, which prevent precise localization. In addition, depending on the browser you are using, you can also deactivate location localization in the corresponding browser settings (if supported by the respective browser).

We use geotargeting on our website for the following purposes:

    • Geo-blocking
    • Customer approach
    • Advertising purposes

 

15. registration

1. description and scope of data processing

On our website, we offer users the opportunity to register by providing personal data. The data is entered into an input mask and transmitted to us and stored. The data is not passed on to third parties. The following data is collected as part of the registration process:

    • E-mail address
    • Salutation
    • Name
    • First name
    • Address
    • Telephone / mobile phone number
    • IP address of the calling computer
    • Date and time of registration
  1.  

As part of the registration process, the user's consent to the processing of this data is obtained.

2. purpose of data processing

Registration of the user is required to fulfill a contract with the user or to carry out pre-contractual measures.

The identification of the user is essential for the provision of our services. In order to register with our platform and become part of the Berformance World community, it is necessary for us to collect certain personal data, such as name, email address and other contact information. Legal obligations in this regard include the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the German Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG). These laws require that we process and protect your data in a secure and lawful manner. In addition to registration, we require your identification data in order to provide you with personalized content and services. This includes, for example, access to exclusive content, participation in surveys and events, as well as personalized offers and recommendations. We process your data exclusively for the aforementioned purposes and guarantee that your data is secure and protected. All information will be treated confidentially and will not be passed on to third parties unless there is a legal obligation to do so. We are aware that your data is a sensitive and valuable asset. We therefore attach great importance to the protection of your personal information and take all necessary measures to protect your data.

3. legal basis for data processing

The legal basis for the processing of the data is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR if the user has given consent.

If the registration serves the fulfillment of a contract to which the user is a party or the implementation of pre-contractual measures, the additional legal basis for the processing of the data is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b GDPR.

4. duration of storage

The data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer required for the purpose for which it was collected.

This is the case for the data collected during the registration process for the performance of a contract or for the implementation of pre-contractual measures if the data is no longer required for the performance of the contract. Even after conclusion of the contract, it may be necessary to store personal data of the contractual partner in order to comply with contractual or legal obligations. There are also statutory storage and retention periods, which may be longer. For example, certain business correspondence must be stored for six years from the end of the calendar year in which it was incurred in accordance with §§ 257 para. 1 no. 2 and 3, para. 4 and 5 HGB and § 147 para. 1 no. 2, para. 3 and 4 AO. According to Section 8 (1) and (4) GwG, personal data processed in accordance with the Money Laundering Act must be retained for five years from the end of the year in which it was collected.

5. possibility of revocation in the event of consent

As a user, you have the option of canceling your registration at any time. You can change the data stored about you at any time.

We attach great importance to the data protection of our users and therefore allow them to delete their account or change their data at any time. The preferred method for deleting an account is to send an email request to our data protection officer at [admin@berformance.com]. The request for deletion of the account should be clearly formulated in the e-mail. Our data protection officer will then process the request immediately. Alternatively, the account can also be deleted via the back office on our website. To do this, you must log in with your access data and carry out the corresponding deletion process in the "Account settings" menu item. If you wish to make changes to your data, you can also do this either by e-mail or in the back office on our website. In both cases, we ask you to describe the changes you wish to make as precisely as possible so that we can implement them quickly and accurately. We assure you that we will process all requests to delete or change data quickly and in compliance with data protection regulations. Should any problems or questions arise, our data protection officer is available to you at any time.

If the data is required to fulfill a contract or to carry out pre-contractual measures, premature deletion of the data is only possible insofar as contractual or legal obligations do not prevent deletion.

This allows personal data to be stored and evaluated, in particular the activity of the user (in particular which pages have been visited and which elements have been clicked on), device and browser information (in particular the IP address and operating system), data on the advertisements displayed (in particular which advertisements were displayed and whether the user clicked on them) and also data from advertising partners (in particular pseudonymized user IDs).

We use Google Analytics (Universal Analytics) to evaluate your use of our online presence, to compile reports on your activities and to use other Google services associated with the use of our online presence and the Internet. This may include the following reports:

  • Target group reports: We use target group reports to get to know our users better and know more precisely who is interested in our service.
  • Ad reports: Ad reports make it easier for us to analyze and improve our online advertising.
  • Acquisition reports: Acquisition reports provide us with helpful information on how we can get more people interested in our service.
  • Behavior reports: Here we learn how you interact with our website. We can track which route you take on our site and which links you click on.
  • Conversion reports: Conversion is a process in which you perform a desired action as a result of a marketing message. For example, when you go from being just a website visitor to a buyer or newsletter subscriber. With the help of these reports, we learn more about how our marketing measures are received by you. This is how we want to increase our conversion rate.
  • Real-time reports: Here we always find out immediately what is happening on our website.

We have requested the anonymization of IP addresses, whereby Google shortens your IP address as soon as technically possible. However, it cannot be ruled out that your data will be transmitted to the servers of Google LLC based in the USA.

On behalf of the operator of this online presence, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the online presence, to compile reports on the activities of the online presence and to provide other services related to the use of the online presence and internet usage to the operator of the online presence.

  1. Purpose of data processing

We use Google Analytics (Universal Analytics) to analyze the use of our online presence and to display targeted advertising to people who have already shown an initial interest by visiting our website.

2. legal basis for the processing of personal data

The legal basis for the processing of users' personal data is generally the consent of the user in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR.

3. duration of storage

Your personal information will be stored for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Policy or until you exercise your right of withdrawal.

You have the right to withdraw your declaration of consent under data protection law at any time. The withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.

You can prevent the collection and processing of your personal data by Google by preventing the storage of third-party cookies on your computer, using the "Do Not Track" function of a supporting browser, deactivating the execution of script code in your browser or installing a script blocker such as NoScript(https://noscript.net/) or Ghostery(https://www.ghostery.com) in your browser.

5. hazard warning

Your personal data will also be transferred to the USA. There is no adequacy decision for the USA pursuant to Art. 45 (3) GDPR. We would like to point out that data transfer without an adequacy decision entails certain risks, which we would like to inform you about below:

Intelligence services in the USA use certain online identifiers (such as the IP address or unique identification numbers) as a starting point for monitoring individuals. In particular, it cannot be ruled out that these intelligence services have already collected information about you that can be used to trace the data transmitted here back to you.

Providers of electronic communications services headquartered in the United States are subject to surveillance by U.S. intelligence agencies pursuant to 50 U.S. Code § 1881a ("FISA 702"). Accordingly, providers of electronic communications services headquartered in the USA are obliged to make personal data available to the US authorities in accordance with 50 U.S. Code § 1881a, without you possibly being entitled to any legal remedies. Even encryption of the data in the data centers of the electronic communications service provider may not provide adequate protection because an electronic communications service provider has a direct obligation to grant access to or disclose imported data in its possession, custody or control. This obligation may explicitly extend to the cryptographic keys without which the data cannot be read.

The fact that this is not merely a "theoretical risk" is demonstrated by the ECJ ruling of July 16, 2020 (Case C 311/18, "Schrems-II").

We have concluded guarantees with Google in the form of standard data protection clauses in accordance with Art. 46 para. 2 lit. c GDPR. A copy of the standard data protection clauses can be requested from us.
