Data Protection Statement of the Superbuden
We appreciate you visiting our websites and we thank you for your interest in our hotels. Protection of personal data is a very important issue for us. Therefore, the processing of personal data of a data subject, for instance of names, postal or e-mail addresses and phone numbers, is carried out in accordance with the applicable European and national legislation.
If data processing is necessary, but there is no legal basis for such processing, we generally request a consent from the data subject.
In the following chapters, the Superbuden (hereinafter called “our company”, “we”, “us” etc.) would like to inform the general public about nature, extent and purpose of the data processed. In this data protection statement the persons concerned shall furthermore be informed of the rights granted to them.
Right of revocation against any consent you may have given for data processing
If the data processing is based on Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR, i.e. your express consent, you have the right to revoke this given consent at any time (pursuant to Art. 7 Para. 3 S. 1 GDPR). The respective legal basis on which processing is based can be found in this data protection statement.
The lawfulness of the data processing carried out until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation (pursuant to Art. 7 Para. 3 S. 2 GDPR).
Right to object to the collection of data in special cases; right to object to direct advertising
IN THE EVENT THAT DATA ARE PROCESSED ON THE BASIS OF ART. 6 PARA. 1 LIT. E OR F GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO AT ANY TIME OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA BASED ON GROUNDS ARISING FROM YOUR UNIQUE SITUATION. THIS ALSO APPLIES TO ANY PROFILING BASED ON THESE PROVISIONS. TO DETERMINE THE LEGAL BASIS, ON WHICH ANY PROCESSING OF DATA IS BASED, PLEASE CONSULT THIS DATA PROTECTION DECLARATION. IF YOU LOG AN OBJECTION, WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR AFFECTED PERSONAL DATA, UNLESS WE ARE IN A POSITION TO PRESENT COMPELLING PROTECTION WORTHY GROUNDS FOR THE PROCESSING OF YOUR DATA, THAT OUTWEIGH YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS OR IF THE PURPOSE OF THE PROCESSING IS THE CLAIMING, EXERCISING OR DEFENCE OF LEGAL ENTITLEMENTS (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21 PARA. 1 GDPR).
IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA IS BEING PROCESSED IN ORDER TO ENGAGE IN DIRECT ADVERTISING, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR AFFECTED PERSONAL DATA FOR THE PURPOSES OF SUCH ADVERTISING AT ANY TIME. THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING TO THE EXTENT THAT IT IS AFFILIATED WITH SUCH DIRECT ADVERTISING. IF YOU OBJECT, YOUR PERSONAL DATA WILL SUBSEQUENTLY NO LONGER BE USED FOR DIRECT ADVERTISING PURPOSES (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21 PARA. 2 GDPR).
Definitions
The data protection statement of our company is based on the terms, which the European legislative and regulatory authority uses in the EU General Data Protection Regulation (hereinafter called “GDPR”). Our data protection statement aims to be easy to read and to understand by general public as well as by our customers or business partners. To guarantee this we shall first explain the terms used.
We use in this data protections statement and on our internet homepage, inter alia, following terminology:
Personal data means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person ('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 means any identified or identifiable natural person whose personal data is processed by the party responsible for the processing.
Processing means 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 means 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 means 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 the party responsible for the processing means 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 means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which processes personal data on behalf of the controller.
Recipient means 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 means 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 means 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.
Rights of the data subject
As the party affected by the processing of your data, you may claim certain rights under the GDPR and other relevant data protection regulations. Under the GDPR, you are entitled to claim the following specific rights as the data subject:
Right of access by the data subject
You have the right to request information on the data we hold about you from us at any time. This information includes, but is not limited to, the categories of data we process, the purposes for which it is processed, the source of the data if not collected directly from you, and, if applicable, the recipients with whom we have shared your data. You can obtain a copy of your data from us free of charge. If you require additional copies, we reserve the right to charge you for these copies.
Right to rectification
You have the right to request that we rectify inaccurate data relating to you. We will take appropriate steps to keep the data we store and process on an ongoing basis accurate, complete and current, based on the most up-to-date information available.
Right to erasure
You have the right to request that we erase your data, as long as the legal requirements for this are satisfied. This may be the case under Art. 17 GDPR if:
- the data is no longer required for the purposes for which it was collected or otherwise processed;
- you withdraw the consent on which data processing is based, and there is no other legal basis for processing;
- you lodge an objection to the processing of your data and there are no legitimate reasons for processing, or you object to data processing for direct marketing purposes;
- the data was processed unlawfully,
- and provided that processing is not required
- to ensure compliance with a legal obligation that requires us to process your data especially with regard to statutory retention periods;
- to establish, exercise or defend legal claims.
Right to restriction of processing
You have the right to request that we restrict processing of your data if:
- you dispute the accuracy of the data – in which case processing may be restricted during the time it takes to verify the accuracy of the data;
- processing is unlawful, and you reject erasure of your data, requesting that its usage be restricted instead;
- we no longer need your data, but you need it to establish, exercise or defend your rights;
- you have lodged an objection to its processing, as long as it is not certain that our legitimate reasons outweigh yours.
Right to data portability
You have the right to request that we transfer your data – if technically possible – to another responsible party. However, you may only enforce this right if data processing is based on your consent or is necessary for the performance of a contract. Rather than receiving a copy of your data, you may also ask us to submit the data directly to another responsible party specified by you.
Right to object
You have the right to object to the processing of your data at any time for reasons that arise from your particular situation, as long as data processing is based on your consent, on our legitimate interests or those of a third party. In this case, we will cease to process your data. This does not apply if we can show that there are compelling legitimate grounds for processing that outweigh your interests, or if we need your data for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.
Right to revoke the declaration of consent
You have the right to withdraw your given consent at any time.
Right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority
You have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of your habitual residence, place of work or place of the alleged infringement if you consider that the processing of personal data relating to you infringes the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), other data protection laws applicable in the Member States of the European Union or other provisions of a data protection nature. A list of the state data protection officers and their contact details can be found at the following link:
https://www.bfdi.bund.de/DE/Service/Anschriften/anschriften_table.html (in German)
The data protection supervisory authority responsible for us is:
The Hamburg Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information
Ludwig-Erhard-Str. 22, 7th Floor
20459 Hamburg
Phone: +49 40 428 54-40 40
Email: [email protected]
Legal basis for the processing of personal data
Insofar as we obtain the consent of the data subject for processing of personal data, the Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR serves as legal basis.
In the processing of personal data required to fulfil a contract of which the data subject is a party, the Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b GDPR serves as legal basis. This also applies to processing operations required to carry out pre-contractual measures.
Insofar as processing of personal data is required to fulfil a legal obligation to which we are subject, Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. c GDPR serves as legal basis.
If processing is necessary to safeguard the legitimate interests of our company or of a third party, and if the interest, fundamental rights and fundamental freedoms of the data subject do not prevail over the first mentioned interest, Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR serves as legal basis for data processing.
Routine deletion and blocking of personal data
The controller processes (in this connection also: stores) the personal data of the data subject only for the period necessary to achieve the purpose of the storage or,
if the processing is required by the European legislative and regulatory authorities, or laid down in another law or regulation to which the controller is liable.
If the purpose of the storage ceases to apply, or if a storage period prescribed by the European directives and regulations or by any other relevant legislator expires, the personal data will be routinely blocked or deleted in accordance with the statutory provisions.
Cooperation with processors and third parties
If we disclose data to other people and companies (processors or third parties) as part of our processing, transmit them to them or otherwise grant them access to the data, this will only be done on the basis of legal permission (e.g. if the data is transmitted to third parties, as to payment service providers, in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b GDPR for the fulfillment of the contract), you have consented, a legal obligation provides for this or on the basis of our legitimate interests (e.g. when using agents, web hosts, etc.).
If we commission third parties to process data on the basis of a so-called "order processing contract", this is done on the basis of Art. 28 GDPR.
Privacy in recruitment and in the application process
The controller collects and processes personal data for the purposes of the application procedure. The processing can also be done electronically. This is particularly the case where an applicant submits the corresponding documents to the controller by means of electronic communications, e.g. by e-mail. If the controller concludes a contract of employment with one applicant, the transmitted data are stored for the purpose of executing the employment relationship in compliance with the statutory provisions. If the controller does not conclude a contract of employment with any of the applicants, the application documents will automatically be deleted six months after the notification of letter of rejection, provided that deletion does not conflict with any other legitimate interests of the controller. In this context other legitimate interest means for instance a burden of proof in legal proceedings pursuant to the General Law on Equal Treatment (AGG).
HotelCareer
For our online application procedure, we use a plugin of the portal HOTELCAREER of the YOURCAREERGROUP, Kaiserswerther Straße 282, 40474 Düsseldorf. The company offers contractually assured guarantees that suitable technical and organisational measures will be implemented in such a way that processing will be carried out in accordance with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and will ensure the protection of the rights of the data subject. The data will be used exclusively for the application procedure. The data will not be passed on to third parties.
When applying online, your salutation, first name, last name, email address, CV details and cover letter are mandatory. You can also use the contact form to create a resume or cover letter, upload additional digital attachments, and submit application-relevant data.
In addition to the online application, you can also recommend a job advertisement by e-mail. In this case, it is mandatory to provide your e-mail address, your first and last name and the e-mail address of the recipient.
If you create a profile on www.hotelcareer.de and apply for jobs with other companies, YOURCAREERGROUP GmbH is responsible for data processing. Therefore, please also note the data protection declaration there:
https://www.hotelcareer.de/datenschutzerklärung (in German)
Applicant data is processed on the basis of § 26 Para, 1 Sentence 1 of the new version of the Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG-neu) and Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a, b and f GDPR.
The processing of personal data serves us to process the contact. The personal data provided by you during the application procedure will be processed and used by us exclusively for the purpose of selecting and hiring applicants.
Should your application not be successful, your data will be deleted on the basis of § 15 Para. 4 of the General Equal Treatment Act (AGG) no later than 6 months after the end of the application procedure.
You can have the data stored about you amended at any time. You also have the possibility to revoke your consent to the processing of the data you have provided. You will find our contact details for revocation in the lower part of this data protection declaration. The data will then be deleted by us immediately. In such a case the communication cannot be continued.
If the data is required for the fulfilment of a contract or for the implementation of pre-contractual measures, an early deletion of the data is only possible if contractual or legal obligations do not prevent a deletion.
Information on video surveillance in our properties
Video surveillance is a particularly intensive form of processing personal data. Almost everyone feels uncomfortable when they are under video surveillance. This is also referred to as "surveillance pressure". Not being exposed to this pressure is almost one of the basic human needs.
Another human need, however, is the desire for security. Individuals and communities, but also inanimate things such as objects and systems, derive great benefit from an environment that is free of security risks or dangers.
Video surveillance is subject to strict data protection requirements for good reasons. On the other hand, the security interests of the controller must also be fairly assessed. Because often these interests are not limited to the controller alone. Employees, interested parties, suppliers, customers, tenants, guests, visitors, etc. may also have a need for security, which can be satisfied by a moderate and sensible use of video surveillance.
Even if some of the following information is already mentioned elsewhere in this data protection declaration, we would like to list all the information in this section of the text as it can also be found in a detailed information sign for video surveillance (information sheet according to Art. 13 GDPR):
Name and contact details of controller and, if applicable, his representative:
To be found at the bottom of this Data Protection Statement.
Contact details of the data protection officer:
To be found at the bottom of this Data Protection Statement.
Purposes and legal basis of data processing:
Investigation and detection of criminal offences as well as other security-related events.
Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f EU General Data Protection Regulation.
Legitimate interests pursued:
Safety of employees, suppliers, guests, visitors, etc.
Protection of property, exercise of domiciliary rights.
Duration of storage or criteria for determining the duration:
In our properties, image data is usually deleted after 72 hours at the latest, insofar as the purpose of the storage has also ceased to apply at this time.
In doing so, we follow a recommendation of the independent data protection authorities of the federal and state governments (Data Protection Conference - DSK).
With a storage period of 72 hours, according to the DSK's justification, the supervisor can regularly pursue his security interests, while at the same time the interests of the data subjects worthy of protection remain protected.
If necessary, a special monitoring purpose may justify longer storage. However, this must be adequately justified.
Recipients or categories of recipients of the data (if data transfer takes place):
The data controller will not transfer the personal data to a third country or an international organisation.
Information on the rights of the data subject
See also the section "Rights of the data subject" at the top of this Data Protection Statement. For video surveillance in summary:
The data subject has the right to obtain confirmation from the controller as to whether personal data concerning him or her are being processed; if this is the case, he or she has a right of access to such personal data and to the information specified in Article 15 of the GDPR.
The data subject has the right to obtain from the controller the rectification without delay of inaccurate personal data concerning him or her and, where applicable, the completion of incomplete personal data (Article 16 GDPR).
The data subject has the right to obtain from the controller the erasure without delay of personal data concerning him or her, where one of the grounds listed in detail in Article 17 of the GDPR applies, e.g. where the data are no longer needed for the purposes pursued (right to erasure).
The data subject has the right to request the controller to restrict processing if one of the conditions listed in Art. 18 GDPR applies, e.g. if the data subject has objected to the processing, for the duration of the controller's review.
The data subject shall have the right to object at any time, on grounds relating to his or her particular situation, to the processing of personal data concerning him or her. The controller shall then no longer process the personal data unless it can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override the interests, rights and freedoms of the data subject, or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims (Article 21 GDPR).
Without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, any data subject shall have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority if the data subject considers that the processing of personal data relating to him or her infringes the GDPR (Art. 77 GDPR). The data subject may exercise this right before a supervisory authority in the Member State of his or her residence, place of work or the place of the alleged infringement. In Hamburg, the competent supervisory authority is:
The Hamburg Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information
Ludwig-Erhard-Str. 22, 7th Floor
20459 Hamburg
Phone: +49 40 428 54-40 40
Email: [email protected]
Security of personal data
Our company shall take numerous technical and organizational measures in order to protect your personal data against accidental or illegal destruction, alteration, loss, unlawful disclosure or unauthorized access.
Nevertheless, for instance internet-based data transfer can principally bear gaps in the security, and therefore absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, any data subject is free to communicate personal data to us in an alternative way, for instance by telephone.
Website Encryption
This site TLS-encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as the requests you send to us as the site operator. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from "http: //" to "https: //" and by the lock symbol in the browser line.
If encryption is activated, the data that you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.
Collection of general data and information
Our website collects a number of general data and information each time the website is accessed by data subject or an automated system. This general data and information is stored in the log files of the server. Following data can be collected:
- browser types and versions used
- operating system used by the accessing computer
- website from which an accessing system gets to our website (so called referrers)
- sub-websites, which are accessed via an accessing system on our website
- date and time of access to our website
- web protocol address (IP address)
- Internet service provider of the accessing system
- other similar data and information, which is used to protect our information technology systems against possible attacks
When using this general data and information, our company does not draw any conclusions about the data subject. In fact, this information is needed in order:
- to deliver the contents of our website correctly
- to optimize the content of our website as well as possibly the advertising for it
- to ensure long-term functionality of our information technology systems and of the technology on our website
- to provide law enforcement authorities with necessary information related to criminal prosecution in case of a cyberattack
This collected data and information is therefore evaluated by our company on the one hand statistically, and on the other hand to increase data protection and data security in our company, and last but not least to ensure the best possible level of protection for the personal data processed by us. The anonymous data of the server log files are stored separately from all personal data provided by the data subject.
This data is not amalgamated with other data sources.
This data is recorded 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 his website - the server log files must be recorded for this.
Request by E-Mail, Phone or Fax
If you contact us by e-mail, phone or fax, your request, including all personal data resulting from it (name, request), will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of processing your request. We will not pass on this data without your consent.
This data is processed on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b GDPR, if your request is related to the fulfilment of a contract or is necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective processing of inquiries addressed to us (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR) if this was queried.
The data you send to us via contact requests will remain with us until you request deletion, revoke your consent to storage or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g. after your request has been processed). Mandatory statutory provisions - especially legal storage periods - remain unaffected.
Data transmission via web form
Data subject has an option to register on the website of the controller stating his or her personal data. During the registration process the respective entry windows indicate, which personal data are transmitted to the controller. The personal data entries made by the data subject are exclusively intended for internal use of the controller, this data is collected and stored for the purposes of own use. The controller can transmit the data to one or to several processor(s), e.g. to parcel service which also makes only internal use of the personal data and acts under the responsibility of the controller.
By registration on the website of the controller the following data is also stored: data subject’s IP address, which the internet service provider has assigned, the date and the exact time at the moment of the registration. These data are stored against the background of being the only way to prevent misuse of our services. If necessary, these data can enable clearing up offences or copyright infringements committed. Insofar it is necessary to store this data as to protect the controller. In general, these data are not transmitted to a third party, unless there is a legal obligation to a transmission, or the data transmission serves legal pursuit of rights or criminal prosecution.
When the data subject registers himself or herself on the website and voluntarily supplies personal data, it enables the controller to offer to him or her content and services, which can by the very nature of the issues only be offered to registered users.
This data is processed on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b GDPR, if your request is related to the fulfilment of a contract or is necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective processing of inquiries addressed to us (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR) if this was queried.
The data you send to us via contact requests will remain with us until you request deletion, revoke your consent to storage or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g. after your request has been processed). Mandatory statutory provisions - especially legal storage periods - remain unaffected.
Google reCAPTCHA
We use "Google reCAPTCHA" (hereinafter "reCAPTCHA") on our website. This service is provided by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheater Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA ("Google").
reCAPTCHA is used to check whether the data entered on our website (such as on a contact form) have been entered by a human or by an automated program.

For the analysis, reCAPTCHA evaluates various information (e.g. IP address, how long the visitor has been on the website, or mouse movements made by the user). The data collected during the analysis will be forwarded to Google.
reCAPTCHA analyses take place entirely in the background. Visitors are not advised that such an analysis is taking place.
The data collected may be stored and processed in the USA, i.e. a third country for which there is no adequacy decision by the European Commission.
However, Google bases the data transfer to the USA on the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework of the European Commission.
Data processing is carried out under Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in protecting its site from abusive automated crawling and SPAM.

E-mail dispatch via dailypoint™
On our website you have the possibility to subscribe to a free newsletter. When registering for the newsletter, the following data from the input mask will be transmitted to us:
- E-mail address of the user
- The salutation
- The first name and surname
- Possibly the place of residence
In addition, the following data is collected during registration:
- The IP address of the calling computer
- The date and time of registration
For the processing of the data, your consent will be obtained during the registration process and reference will be made to the data protection declaration.
For the documentation of the newsletter consent and to prevent misuse of your data, we use the so-called Double-Opt-In-Procedure. By this procedure we ensure that the recipient really wants to receive our newsletter. After registration you will receive an e-mail asking you to confirm your newsletter registration. Only after the confirmation we will be sending our newsletter.
The newsletter registrations are logged to be able to prove the registration process according to the legal requirements. This includes the storage of the registration and confirmation time as well as the IP address. Changes to your stored data are also logged.
If you purchase goods or services on our website and enter your e-mail address, we may subsequently use this to send you a newsletter. In such a case, the newsletter will only be used to send direct advertising for our own goods or services. In connection with the data processing for the dispatch of newsletters, the data will not be passed on to third parties. The data will be used exclusively for sending the newsletter.
Newsletters are sent via the web-based dailypoint™ marketing software, a marketing platform of the provider Toedt, Dr. Selk & Coll. GmbH, Augustenstr. 79, 80333 Munich, Germany.
The e-mail addresses of our newsletter recipients, as well as their other data described in this notice, are stored on the servers of Toedt, Dr. Selk & Coll. GmbH servers in Germany.
Toedt, Dr. Selk & Coll. GmbH uses this information to send and evaluate the newsletter on our behalf. Furthermore, Toedt, Dr. Selk & Coll. GmbH may also use this information to optimise or improve its own services, e.g. to technically optimise the dispatch and presentation of the newsletter. Toedt, Dr. Selk & Coll. GmbH does not, however, use the data of our newsletter recipients to write to them or pass them on to third parties.
Furthermore, we have entered into a Data Processing Addendum or Data Processing Agreement (“DPA”) with Toedt, Dr. Selk & Coll. GmbH in accordance with Art. 28 Para. 3 GDPR. This is a contract in which Toedt, Dr. Selk & Coll. GmbH undertakes to protect the data of our users, to process it on our behalf in accordance with its data protection regulations and in particular not to pass it on to third parties.
The collection of the user's e-mail address is used to send the newsletter. The collection of other personal data during the registration process serves to prevent misuse of the services or the e-mail address used.
The data will be deleted as soon as they are no longer required for the purpose of their collection. The user's e-mail address as well as the date and time of registration are therefore stored for as long as the subscription to the newsletter is active. The other personal data collected during the registration process is usually deleted after a period of seven days.
The subscription to the newsletter can be cancelled by the user concerned at any time. For this purpose, there is a corresponding link in every newsletter. This also enables the user to revoke his or her consent to the storage of personal data collected during the registration process.
The newsletters contain a so-called "web-beacon", i.e. a pixel-sized file which is saved when opening the newsletter of the server of Toedt, Dr. Selk & Coll. GmbH is called up. Within the scope of this retrieval, technical information such as information on the browser and your system, as well as your IP address and time of retrieval are collected. This information is used for the technical improvement of the services based on the technical data or the target groups and their reading behaviour based on their retrieval locations (which can be determined by means of the IP address) or the access times.
Statistical surveys also include determining whether newsletters are opened, when they are opened and which links are clicked. For technical reasons, this information can be assigned to individual newsletter recipients. However, it is neither our intention nor that of Toedt, Dr. Selk & Coll. GmbH to observe individual users. The evaluations serve us much more to recognise the reading habits of our users and to adapt our content to them or to send different content according to the interests of our users.
The legal basis for the processing of data after registration for the newsletter by the user is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR if the user has given his consent.
The legal basis for sending the newsletter as a result of the sale of goods or services is § 7 Para. 3 UWG.
Consent to the sending of e-mail addresses is based on Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR, Art. 7 GDPR and § 7 Para. 2 No. 3 or Para. 3 UWG. The use of the dispatch service provider Toedt, Dr. Selk & Coll. GmbH, the performance of statistical surveys and analyses as well as the logging of the registration procedure are carried out on the basis of our legitimate interests in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR. We are interested in the use of a user-friendly and secure newsletter system that serves our business interests, including direct advertising, and meets the expectations of the users.
If we use your personal data for direct advertising, you can object to this at any time by notifying us in accordance with Art. 21 GDPR.

Cookies
We use cookies in order to further improve our internet presentation for you, make it more user-friendly and to tailor it as well as possible to meet your needs. Cookies are small text data files, which a webserver sends to your internet browser when you visit a website. The cookies are stored locally on your terminal (personal computer, notebook, tablet, smartphone etc.).
Numerous websites and servers use cookies. Many cookies contain so called cookie ID, which is a unique identifier of the cookie. Cookie ID consists of a string of characters through which websites and servers can trace back the actual web browser, on which the cookie is stored. This allows the visited web pages and servers to distinguish the individual browser of the data subject from other web browsers that contain other cookies. A specific web browser can be recognized and identified by the unique cookie ID. The purpose of this information is to automatically recognize you and to facilitate your navigation, when you visit the website again with the same device.
You can also consent or reject cookies - also for web tracking - via the settings of your web browser. You can configure your web browser so that it blocks cookies generally, or you will be warned in advance when a new cookie is about to be stored. In this case, however, the functionality of the website may be impaired (for example when placing orders). Your browser also offers a function to delete cookies (for instance by choosing “Clear browsing data”. This is possible in all common web browsers. Further information can be found in the user manual or in the settings of your browser.
First-party cookies: First-party cookies are permanent cookies that are stored on the computer and only lose their validity when the expiry date assigned to them has expired. The word "party" refers to the domain from which the cookie originated. In contrast to third-party cookies, first-party cookies usually come from the website operator itself. They are therefore not accessible to browsers across domains. For example, website A assigns a cookie A, which is not recognized by website B, but can only be recognized by website A. This means that data cannot be passed on to third parties.
Third-party cookies: With a third-party cookie, the cookie is set and recorded by a third party. These cookies are mostly used by advertisers who use their cookies on other websites to collect information about website visitors using the cookies. These are data records that are stored in the user's web browser when he visits a page with the advertisement. If he visits a page with advertising from the same provider again, he will be recognized.

Microsoft Advertising (formerly Bing Ads)
Our website uses the conversion tracking of Microsoft (Microsoft Corporation, One Microsoft Way, Redmond, WA 98052-6399, USA). Microsoft Advertising sets a cookie on your computer if you have accessed our website via a Microsoft Advertising ad. In this way, Microsoft Advertising and we can recognize that someone has clicked on an ad, been redirected to our website and reached a previously determined target page (conversion page). We only learn the total number of users who, for example, clicked on a Bing ad and were then redirected to the conversion page. No personal information about the user's identity is disclosed. If you do not wish to participate in the tracking process, you can also refuse the setting of a cookie required for this - for example, by means of a browser setting that generally deactivates the automatic setting of cookies.
The storage and processing of the collected data takes place in the USA, i.e. a third country for which there is no adequacy decision by the European Commission.
However, Microsoft bases the data transfer to the USA on the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework of the European Commission.

Meta Pixel
To measure conversion rates, this website uses the visitor activity pixel of Meta (formerly "Facebook Pixel"). The provider of this service is Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Dublin 2, Ireland (hereinafter referred to as "Meta"). According to Meta’s statement the collected data will be transferred to the USA and other third-party countries too.
The storage and processing of the collected data takes place in the USA, i.e. a third country for which there is no adequacy decision by the European Commission.
However, Meta bases the data transfer to the USA on the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework of the European Commission.
This tool allows the tracking of page visitors after they have been linked to the website of the provider after clicking on a Facebook ad. This makes it possible to analyze the effectiveness of Facebook ads for statistical and market research purposes and to optimize future advertising campaigns.
For us as the operators of this website, the collected data is anonymous. We are not in a position to arrive at any conclusions as to the identity of users. However, Facebook archives the information and processes it, so that it is possible to make a connection to the respective user profile and Facebook is in a position to use the data for its own promotional purposes in compliance with the Facebook Data Usage Policy (https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/ ). This enables Facebook to display ads on Facebook pages as wellas in locations outside of Facebook. We as the operator of this website have no control over the use of such data.
The use of these services occurs on the basis of your consent pursuant to Art. 6 Para. 1 lit.a GDPR and § 25 Para. 1 TDDDG. You may revoke your consent at any time.
Within the meta pixel, we are using the expanded alignment function. The expanded alignment allows us to transfer to Meta (Facebook) different types of data (e.g., place of residence, federal state, zip code, hashed email addresses, names, gender, date of birth or phone number) of our customers and prospects we collect through our website. As a result of this activation, we can tailor the offers presented in our advertising campaigns on Facebook to individuals interested in what we offer even more precisely. Moreover, this expanded alignment optimizes the allocation of website conversions and expands custom audiences.
Insofar as personal data is collected on our website with the help of the tool described here and forwarded to Facebook, we and Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland are jointly responsible for this data processing (Art. 26 DSGVO). The joint responsibility is limited exclusively to the collection of the data and its forwarding to Facebook. The processing by Facebook that takes place after the onward transfer is not part of the joint responsibility. The obligations incumbent on us jointly have been set out in a joint processing agreement. The wording of the agreement can be found under: https://www.facebook.com/legal/controller_addendum . According to this agreement, we are responsible for providing the privacy information when using the Facebook tool and for the privacy-secure implementation of the tool on our website. Facebook is responsible for the data security of Facebook products.
You can assert data subject rights (e.g., requests for information) regarding data processed by Facebook directly with Facebook. If you assert the data subject rights with us, we are obliged to forward them to Facebook. Data transmission to the US is based on the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework of the European Commission. Details can be found here: https://www.facebook.com/legal/EU_data_transfer_addendum and
https://de-de.facebook.com/help/566994660333381 .
In Facebook’s Data Privacy Policies, you will find additional information about the protection of your privacy at: https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/

Our social media presences
Data processing through social networks
We maintain publicly accessible profiles on social networks. The social networks used by us in detail can be found below.
Social networks such as Facebook, Twitter, etc. can generally analyze your user behavior extensively when you visit their website or a website with integrated social media content (e.g. like buttons or advertising banners). By visiting our social media presences, numerous data protection-relevant processing operations are triggered. In detail:
If you are logged into your social media account and visit our social media presence, the operator of the social media portal can assign this visit to your user account. However, your personal data may also be collected under certain circumstances if you are not logged in or do not have an account with the respective social media portal. In this case, this data collection takes place, for example, via cookies that are stored on your end device or by recording your IP address.
With the help of the data collected in this way, the operators of the social media portals can create user profiles in which your preferences and interests are stored. In this way, you can be shown interest-based advertising inside and outside the respective social media presence. Provided you have an account with the respective social network, the interest-based advertising may be displayed on all devices on which you are or were logged in.
Please also note that we cannot track all processing on the social media portals. Depending on the provider, further processing operations may therefore be carried out by the operators of the social media portals. For details, please refer to the terms of use and data protection provisions of the respective social media portals.
Legal basis
Our social media presences are intended to ensure the most comprehensive presence possible on the Internet. This is a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 Para 1 lit. f GDPR. The analysis processes initiated by the social networks may be based on different legal bases, which are to be specified by the operators of the social networks (e.g. consent within the meaning of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR).
Controller and assertion of rights
If you visit one of our social media sites (e.g. Facebook), we are jointly responsible with the operator of the social media platform for the data processing operations triggered during this visit. In principle, you can assert your rights (information, correction, deletion, restriction of processing, data portability and complaint) both vis-à-vis us and vis-à-vis the operator of the respective social media portal (e.g. vis-à-vis Facebook).
Please note that despite the joint responsibility with the social media portal operators, we do not have full influence on the data processing operations of the social media portals. Our options are largely determined by the corporate policy of the respective provider.
Storage period
The data collected directly by us via the social media presence will be deleted from our systems as soon as the purpose for storing it no longer applies, you request us to delete it, revoke your consent to store it, or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies. Stored cookies remain on your terminal device until you delete them. Mandatory legal provisions - in particular retention periods - remain unaffected.
We have no influence on the storage period of your data, which is stored by the operators of social networks for their own purposes. For details, please contact the operators of the social networks directly (e.g. in their privacy policy, see below).
We have a profile on Facebook. The provider of this service is Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Dublin 2, Ireland (hereinafter referred to as "Facebook"). According to Facebook, the collected data is also transferred to the USA and other third countries.
We have concluded a joint processing agreement (Controller Addendum) with Facebook.
