We are delighted by your interest in our company. Privacy has a particularly high priority for the management of Liv Johansson Voice Coaching. It is fundamentally possible to use the Liv Johansson Voice Coaching websites without providing any personal data. However, if an individual wishes to make use of special services offered by our company through our website, the processing of personal data may become necessary.
If the processing of personal data is required and there is no legal basis for such processing, we always obtain the consent of the affected individual. The processing of personal data, such as the name, address, e-mail address, or telephone number of an affected individual, always takes place in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and in compliance with the country-specific data protection regulations applicable to Liv Johansson Voice Coaching. Through this privacy policy, our company aims to inform the public about the nature, scope, and purpose of the personal data we collect, use, and process. Furthermore, individuals are informed about their rights through this privacy policy.
Liv Johansson Voice Coaching, as the responsible party for processing, has implemented numerous technical and organizational measures to ensure the most complete protection possible for personal data processed through this website. However, internet-based data transfers can inherently have security gaps, so absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, every individual is free to provide personal data through alternative means, such as by phone, to us.
1. Definitions
The privacy policy of Liv Johansson Voice Coaching is based on the terminology used by the European directive and regulation issuer when enacting the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Our privacy policy is intended to be easily readable and understandable for both the public and our customers and business partners. To ensure this, we would like to explain the terms used in advance.
In this privacy policy, we use, among others, the following terms:
a) Personal Data
Personal data refers to 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.
b) Data Subject
A data subject is any identified or identifiable natural person whose personal data is processed by the party responsible for the processing.
c) Processing
Processing is any operation or set of operations performed on personal data, whether or not by automated means, such as collection, recording, organization, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination, or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure, or destruction.
d) Restriction of Processing
Restriction of processing is the marking of stored personal data with the aim of limiting their processing in the future.
e) Profiling
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 analyze or predict aspects concerning that natural person's performance at work, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behavior, location, or movements.
f) Pseudonymization
Pseudonymization is the process of processing 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 organizational measures to ensure that the personal data are not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.
g) Data Controller or Controller Responsible for Processing
The data controller or controller responsible for 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 processing personal data. If the purposes and means of such processing are determined by Union law or the law of the Member States, the controller or the specific criteria for its nomination can be provided for under Union law or the law of the Member States.
h) Processor
Processor is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or other body that processes personal data on behalf of the controller.
i) Recipient
Recipient is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or another body to which 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.
j) Third Party
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 authorized to process the personal data.
k) Consent
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.
2. Name and Address of the Controller Responsible for Processing
The 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:
Liv Johansson Voice Coaching
Belgradstr. 3080796 Munich

http://www.livjohansson.de/3. Cookies
The websites of Liv Johansson Voice Coaching utilize cookies. Cookies are text files that are stored and saved on a computer system via an internet browser.
Numerous websites and servers employ cookies. Many cookies contain what's known as a cookie ID. A cookie ID is a unique identifier of the cookie. It comprises a string through which websites and servers can assign the specific internet browser in which the cookie has been stored. This allows the visited websites 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 recognized and identified using the unique cookie ID.
By deploying cookies, Liv Johansson Voice Coaching can offer more user-friendly services on this website that would not be possible without the cookie setting.
Through a cookie, the information and offerings on our website can be optimized with the user in mind. Cookies allow us, as already mentioned, to recognize the users of our website. The purpose of this recognition is to facilitate the usability of our website for users. For instance, a user of a website that uses cookies doesn't have to re-enter their login details each time they visit the website because this is taken over 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 a customer has placed in the virtual shopping cart through a cookie.
The data subject can prevent the setting of cookies by our website at any time using the appropriate setting of the internet browser they use, thus permanently objecting to the setting of cookies. Moreover, already set cookies 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 cookie setting in the internet browser they're using, not all features of our website may be entirely usable.
4. Collection of General Data and Information
Every time the website of Liv Johansson Voice Coaching is accessed by a data subject or an automated system, a range of general data and information is collected. These general data and information are stored in the server's log files. Possible recorded data can be: (1) types of browsers used and their versions, (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-pages which are directed to on our website by an accessing system, (5) the date and time when the website is accessed, (6) an Internet Protocol (IP) address, (7) the accessing system's Internet Service Provider, and (8) other similar data and information that serve as protection in case of attacks on our information technology systems.
When using these general data and information, Liv Johansson Voice Coaching does not draw any conclusions about the data subject. Instead, this information is required to (1) correctly deliver the content of our website, (2) optimize the content of our website and its advertising, (3) ensure the long-term functionality of our IT systems and website technology, and (4) provide law enforcement authorities with the necessary information for prosecution in the event of a cyber-attack. Therefore, Liv Johansson Voice Coaching analyzes these anonymously collected data and information statistically, with the objective of increasing data protection and data security in our company, ultimately ensuring an optimal level of protection for the personal data we process. The anonymous data from the server log files are stored separately from all personal data provided by a data subject.
5. Registration on our website
Individuals have the opportunity to register on the website of the data controller, providing personal data. The specific personal data transferred to the data controller is determined by the respective input form used for registration. The personal data provided by the individual is collected and stored solely for internal use by the data controller and for its own purposes. The data controller can arrange for the data to be passed on to one or more processors, such as a parcel service provider, who will also use the personal data exclusively for internal purposes attributed to the controller. Registration on the data controller's website also stores the IP address assigned by the individual's Internet Service Provider (ISP), as well as the date and time of registration. This data is stored to prevent misuse of our services and, if necessary, to enable investigation of crimes. Therefore, this data is necessary to protect the data controller. This data will not be passed on to third parties unless there is a legal obligation to do so or if it is necessary for legal prosecution. Registration by the individual, voluntarily providing personal data, enables the controller to offer content or services that can only be offered to registered users. Registered individuals can modify or delete their personal data at any time. At any time, the data controller will provide information on request about what personal data is stored about the individual. Furthermore, the data controller will correct or delete personal data at the request of the individual, unless statutory retention requirements prevent this. All employees of the data controller are available as contacts in this regard.
6. Subscription to our newsletter
On the website of the Liv Johansson Voice Coach, users are given the opportunity to subscribe to the company's newsletter. The personal data transmitted to the data controller when ordering the newsletter is determined by the input form used. The Liv Johansson Voice Coach informs its customers and business partners at regular intervals by newsletter about company offers. The company's newsletter can only be received by individuals if (1) they have a valid email address and (2) register to receive the newsletter. For legal reasons, a confirmation email will be sent to the email address first entered by the individual using the double opt-in procedure. This confirmation email is used to verify whether the owner of the email address has authorized receipt of the newsletter. When registering for the newsletter, we also store the IP address assigned by the ISP at the time of registration, as well as the date and time of registration. This data is collected to be able to trace any misuse of the email address at a later date and thus serves as legal protection for the data controller. The data collected during registration for the newsletter will only be used to send the newsletter. Subscribers to the newsletter may be informed by email if necessary for the operation of the newsletter service or registration, for example in case of changes to the newsletter offer or technical conditions. There will be no transfer of personal data collected for the newsletter service to third parties. The subscription to our newsletter can be cancelled by the individual at any time. Consent to the storage of personal data given to us for the newsletter can be revoked at any time. Each newsletter contains a link for this purpose. There is also the possibility to unsubscribe from the newsletter directly on the website of the data controller or to inform the data controller in other ways.
7. Newsletter-Tracking
The newsletters of the Liv Johansson Voice Coach contain so-called tracking pixels. A tracking pixel is a miniature graphic embedded in emails sent in HTML format to enable log file recording and analysis. This allows for a statistical evaluation of the success or failure of online marketing campaigns. Based on the embedded tracking pixel, the Liv Johansson Voice Coach can determine if and when an email was opened by an individual and which links in the email were accessed by the individual. Such personal data collected via the tracking pixels contained in newsletters are stored and evaluated by the data controller to optimize newsletter distribution and better adapt future newsletter content to the interests of the individual. This personal data will not be passed on to third parties. Individuals are at any time entitled to revoke the separate declaration of consent issued by the double opt-in procedure. After revocation, this personal data will be deleted by the data controller. The Liv Johansson Voice Coach automatically considers unsubscription from the newsletter as a revocation.
8. Contact options via the website
Due to legal requirements, the website of the Liv Johansson Voice Coach contains information that enables electronic contact with our company and direct communication, which also includes a general email address. If an individual contacts the data controller via email or a contact form, the personal data transmitted by the individual is automatically saved. Personal data voluntarily transmitted to the data controller by an individual is stored for processing or contact. This personal data will not be passed on to third parties.
9. Comment function in the blog on the website
The Liv Johansson Voice Coach offers users the opportunity to leave individual comments on individual blog posts on a blog located on the website of the data controller. A blog is a portal on a website, usually public, where one or more people, called bloggers or web-bloggers, can post articles or write down thoughts in so-called blog posts. Blog posts can usually be commented on by third parties. If an individual leaves a comment on a blog published on this website, in addition to the comments, information about the time the comment was entered and the user name (pseudonym) chosen by the individual will be stored and published. The IP address assigned by the ISP is also logged. This IP address is stored for security reasons in case the individual violates the rights of third parties or posts illegal content through a comment. The storage of this personal data is therefore in the interest of the data controller, so that they can exculpate themselves in the event of a legal violation. This collected personal data will not be passed on to third parties unless such transmission is required by law or serves the legal defense of the data controller.
10. Subscription of comments in the blog on the website
Comments made in the Liv Johansson Voice Coach's blog can generally be subscribed to by third parties. In particular, there is an option that a commentator can subscribe to the comments following his comment on a particular blog post. If an individual opts to subscribe to comments, the data controller sends an automatic confirmation email to check, using the double opt-in procedure, whether the owner of the provided email address really opted for this. The option to subscribe to comments can be terminated at any time.
11. Routine deletion and blocking of personal data
The data controller processes and stores personal data of the individual only for the period necessary to achieve the storage purpose or as provided for by the European directive and regulation maker or another legislator in laws or regulations to which the data controller is subject. If the storage purpose is not applicable or if a storage period prescribed by the European directive and regulation maker or another competent legislator expires, the personal data are routinely blocked or deleted according to legal regulations.
12. Rights of the individual
a) Right to confirmationEvery data subject has the right granted by the European Directive and Regulation giver to request confirmation from the controller as to whether personal data concerning them is being processed. If a data subject wishes to exercise this right of confirmation, they can contact an employee of the controller at any time.
b) Right to information
Any person affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European Directive and Regulation giver to receive free information from the controller about the personal data stored about them and a copy of this information at any time. Furthermore, the European Directive and Regulation giver has granted the data subject access to the following information: the purposes of the processing; the categories of personal data being processed; the recipients or categories of recipients to whom the personal data have been or will be disclosed, especially in third countries or to international organisations; if possible, the planned duration for which the personal data will be stored, or, if this is not possible, the criteria for determining this duration; the existence of a right to rectification or erasure of personal data concerning them, or to the restriction of processing by the controller, or to object to such processing; the existence of a right to complain to a supervisory authority; if the personal data is not collected from the data subject: All available information about the origin of the data; the existence of automated decision-making including profiling according to Article 22(1) and (4) of the GDPR and, at least in these cases, meaningful information about the logic involved and the scope and intended impact of such processing on the data subject. The data subject also has the right to know whether personal data has been transferred to a third country or to an international organisation. If this is the case, the data subject also has the right to receive information about the appropriate safeguards in connection with the transfer. If a data subject wishes to exercise this right of information, they can contact an employee of the controller at any time.
c) Right to rectification
Every person affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European Directive and Regulation giver to request the immediate correction of incorrect personal data concerning them. Furthermore, the data subject has the right, taking into account the purposes of the processing, to request the completion of incomplete personal data - also by means of a supplementary declaration. If a data subject wishes to exercise this right to rectification, they can contact an employee of the controller at any time.
d) Right to erasure (Right to be forgotten)
Any person affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European Directive and Regulation giver to request the controller to delete personal data concerning them immediately if one of the following reasons applies and processing is not necessary: The personal data was collected or otherwise processed for purposes for which it is no longer necessary. The data subject withdraws their consent on which the processing was based according to Article 6(1)(a) GDPR or Article 9(2)(a) GDPR, and there is no other legal basis for processing. The data subject objects to the processing pursuant to Article 21(1) GDPR, and there are no overriding legitimate reasons for the processing, or the data subject objects to the processing pursuant to Article 21(2) GDPR. The personal data was processed unlawfully. The erasure of personal data is necessary to fulfil a legal obligation under Union law or the law of the Member States to which the controller is subject. The personal data was collected in relation to information society services offered in accordance with Article 8(1) GDPR. If one of the above reasons applies and a data subject wishes to have personal data stored at Liv Johansson Voice Coach deleted, they can contact an employee of the controller at any time. The Liv Johansson Voice Coach employee will arrange for the request for erasure to be complied with immediately. If the personal data has been made public by Liv Johansson Voice Coach and our company is obliged to delete the personal data as the controller according to Article 17(1) GDPR, Liv Johansson Voice Coach will take reasonable measures, including technical measures, taking into account the available technology and implementation costs, to inform other data controllers processing the published personal data that the data subject has requested from these other data controllers the erasure of all links to this personal data or copies or replications of this personal data, unless processing is necessary. The employee of Liv Johansson Voice Coach will arrange the necessary in individual cases.
e) Right to restriction of processing
Any person affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European Directive and Regulation giver to request the controller to restrict processing if one of the following conditions applies: The accuracy of the personal data is contested by the data subject for a period that allows the controller to verify the accuracy of the personal data. The processing is unlawful, and the data subject refuses to delete the personal data and instead requests the restriction of the use of the personal data. The controller no longer needs the personal data for processing purposes, but the data subject needs them to assert, exercise or defend legal claims. The data subject has objected to the processing pursuant to Article 21(1) GDPR, and it has not yet been determined whether the controller's legitimate reasons outweigh those of the data subject. If one of the above conditions is met and a data subject wishes to request the restriction of personal data stored at Liv Johansson Voice Coach, they can contact an employee of the controller at any time. The Liv Johansson Voice Coach employee will arrange for the processing to be restricted.
f) Right to data portability
Every individual whose personal data is being processed has the right, as granted by the European Directive and Regulation giver, to receive the personal data concerning them, which they have provided to a controller, in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format. They also have the right to transfer this data to another controller without hindrance from the controller to whom the personal data was provided, as long as the processing is based on consent according to Article 6(1)(a) GDPR or Article 9(2)(a) GDPR or on a contract according to Article 6(1)(b) GDPR, and the processing is done using automated methods, unless the processing is necessary for a task that is in the public interest or carried out in the exercise of official authority delegated to the controller. Moreover, when exercising their right to data portability under Article 20(1) GDPR, the individual has the right to have the personal data transferred directly from one controller to another, where technically feasible, and without adversely affecting the rights and freedoms of others. To exercise the right to data portability, the individual can contact an employee of Liv Johansson Voice Coach at any time.
g) Right to object
Every individual whose personal data is being processed has the right, granted by the European Directive and Regulation giver, to object at any time, for reasons arising from their particular situation, to the processing of their personal data if this is based on Article 6(1)(e) or (f) GDPR. This also applies to profiling based on these provisions. Liv Johansson Voice Coach will no longer process the personal data in the event of an objection, unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that outweigh the individual's interests, rights, and freedoms, or if the processing serves the purpose of asserting, exercising, or defending legal claims. If Liv Johansson Voice Coach processes personal data for direct marketing purposes, the individual has the right to object at any time to the processing of their personal data for such marketing. This also applies to profiling insofar as it is related to direct marketing. If the individual objects to Liv Johansson Voice Coach processing for direct marketing purposes, Liv Johansson Voice Coach will no longer process the personal data for these purposes. Moreover, the individual has the right, for reasons arising from their particular situation, to object to the processing of their personal data at Liv Johansson Voice Coach for scientific or historical research purposes or for statistical purposes under Article 89(1) GDPR, unless such processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out for reasons of public interest. To exercise the right to object, the individual may contact any employee of Liv Johansson Voice Coach directly. Furthermore, in the context of the use of information society services, and notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC, the individual may exercise their right to object by automated means using technical specifications.
h) Automated individual decision-making, including profiling
Every individual whose personal data is being processed has the right, granted by the European Directive and Regulation giver, not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects concerning them or similarly significantly affects them. This doesn't apply if the decision: (1) is necessary for the conclusion or performance of a contract between the individual and the controller, or (2) is authorized by Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject and which also provides for suitable measures to safeguard the individual's rights and freedoms and legitimate interests; or (3) is based on the individual's explicit consent. If the decision (1) is required for the conclusion or performance of a contract between the individual and the controller or (2) it is based on the individual's explicit consent, Liv Johansson Voice Coach takes appropriate measures to safeguard the individual's rights and freedoms as well as their legitimate interests, at least the right to obtain human intervention on the part of the controller, to express one's point of view, and to contest the decision. If the individual wants to exercise rights concerning automated decisions, they can contact an employee of the controller at any time.
i) Right to withdraw data protection consent
Every individual whose personal data is being processed has the right, granted by the European Directive and Regulation giver, to withdraw consent to the processing of their personal data at any time. If the individual wishes to exercise the right to withdraw the consent, they can contact an employee of the controller at any time.
13. Data Protection in Applications and the Application Process
The person responsible for processing collects and processes the personal data of applicants for the purpose of processing the application procedure. The processing can also be carried out electronically. This is especially the case if an applicant submits the relevant application documents electronically, for example by email or via a web form on the website, to the person responsible for processing. If the person responsible for processing concludes an employment contract with an applicant, the data transmitted will be stored for the purpose of processing the employment relationship in compliance with legal requirements. If the person responsible for processing does not conclude an employment contract with the applicant, the application documents will be automatically deleted two months after the decision of rejection has been communicated, provided that no other legitimate interests of the person responsible for processing oppose the deletion. Another legitimate interest in this context is, for instance, a burden of proof in proceedings under the General Equal Treatment Act (AGG).
14. Data Protection Regulations on the Use and Application of AddThis
The person responsible for processing has integrated components of the AddThis company on this website. AddThis is a so-called bookmarking provider. The service allows simplified bookmarking of internet pages via buttons. Hovering over the AddThis component with the mouse or clicking on it displays a list of bookmarking and sharing services. AddThis is used on over 15 million websites, and according to the operating company, the buttons are displayed over 20 billion times a year. The company operating AddThis is AddThis, Inc. 1595 Spring Hill Road, Suite 300, Vienna, VA 22182, USA. Every time one of the individual pages of this website, which is operated by the person responsible for processing and on which an AddThis component has been integrated, is accessed, the internet browser on the data subject's IT system is automatically prompted by the respective AddThis component to download data from the website
www.addthis.com. As part of this technical process, AddThis becomes aware of the visit and the specific individual page of this website that was used by the data subject's IT system. Furthermore, AddThis gains knowledge of the IP address assigned by the Internet Service Provider (ISP) to the computer system used by the data subject, the browser type, browser language, the website accessed before our website, the date, and time of the visit to our website. AddThis uses this data to create anonymized user profiles. The data and information transmitted to AddThis in this manner enable the company AddThis itself, as well as its affiliated companies or partner companies, to target visitors of the web pages of the person responsible for processing with personalized and interest-related advertising. AddThis displays personalized and interest-based advertising based on a cookie set by the company. This cookie analyzes the individual browsing behavior of the computer system used by the data subject. The cookie stores visits to websites made by the computer system. The data subject can prevent the setting of cookies by our website at any time, as previously described, by adjusting the internet browser used, thus permanently objecting to the setting of cookies. Such a setting of the internet browser used would also prevent AddThis from setting a cookie on the data subject's IT system. Furthermore, cookies set by AddThis can be deleted at any time via an internet browser or other software programs. The data subject also has the option to permanently object to the processing of personal data by AddThis. To do this, the data subject must click the opt-out button at the link
http://www.addthis.com/privacy/opt-out, which sets an opt-out cookie. The opt-out cookie set with the objection is stored on the data subject's IT system. If the data subject deletes the cookies from their system after objecting, they must access the link again and set a new opt-out cookie. However, setting the opt-out cookie may result in the data subject not being able to use the website of the person responsible for processing fully. The current data protection provisions of AddThis can be accessed at
http://www.addthis.com/privacy/privacy-policy.
15. Data Protection Regulations on the Use and Application of Adobe Analytics (Omniture) / Adobe Marketing Cloud
The entity responsible for processing has integrated components from the company Adobe on this website. Adobe Analytics (Omniture) and the Adobe Marketing Cloud (hereafter referred to as “Omniture”) is a tool that allows for more efficient online marketing and web analysis. Omniture is part of the Adobe Marketing Cloud. The Adobe Marketing Cloud allows real-time analyses of visitor flows on websites. These real-time analyses include project reports and allow an ad-hoc analysis of website visitors. Customer interactions are presented in such a way that the entity responsible for processing gains a better overview of the online activities of the users of this website by displaying the data in simple and interactive dashboards and converting them into reports. This enables the person responsible for processing to obtain information in real-time and to detect emerging issues more quickly. The operating company of these services is Adobe Systems Software Ireland Limited, 4-6 Riverwalk, Citywest Business Campus, Dublin 24, Republic of Ireland.Omniture places a cookie on the IT system of the affected person (cookies were already explained earlier; the corresponding can be read above). Through a server setting, the entity responsible for processing ensures that the tracking data records transmitted to Adobe's data center are anonymized before geolocation. Anonymization is achieved by replacing the last part of the IP address. Server-side settings have been made by the person responsible for processing, whereby the IP address of the affected person is anonymized separately before each processing for geolocation and range measurement. On behalf of the person responsible for processing, Adobe will use the data and information obtained from our website to evaluate the user behavior of the affected person. Furthermore, Adobe will use the data to create user activity reports on our behalf and to provide other services for our company related to the use of our website. The IP address of the affected person is not merged with other personal data by Adobe. As already described, the affected person can prevent the setting of cookies by our website at any time by adjusting the internet browser used and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Such a setting in the used internet browser would also prevent Omniture from placing a cookie on the affected person's IT system. In addition, cookies already set by Omniture can be deleted at any time via an internet browser or other software programs.Furthermore, the affected person has the option to object to the collection of data generated by the Adobe cookie, which relates to the use of this website, as well as the processing of this data by Adobe, and to prevent this. To do this, the affected person must press the unsubscribe button under the link
http://www.adobe.com/de/privacy/opt-out.html, which sets an opt-out cookie. The opt-out cookie set with the objection is stored on the IT system used by the affected person. If the affected person's cookies are deleted after an objection, they must access the link again and set a new opt-out cookie. However, by setting the opt-out cookie, there is a possibility that the websites of the person responsible for processing may no longer be fully usable for the affected person. The current data protection provisions of Adobe can be accessed at
http://www.adobe.com/de/privacy.html.
16. Data Protection Regulations on the Use and Application of Facebook
The entity responsible for processing has integrated components of the Facebook company on this website. Facebook is a social network.
A social network is an online social meeting place, an online community that typically allows users to communicate with each other and interact in virtual space. A social network can serve as a platform for exchanging opinions and experiences or enable the internet community to provide personal or company-related information. Among other things, Facebook allows users of the social network to create private profiles, upload photos, and network via friend requests. The operating company of Facebook is Facebook, Inc., 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA. If an affected person lives outside the USA or Canada, the person responsible for processing personal data is Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland.
With each call to one of the individual pages of this website, operated by the person responsible for processing and on which a Facebook component (Facebook plug-in) has been integrated, the internet browser on the affected person's IT system is automatically prompted by the respective Facebook component to download a display 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. During this technical process, Facebook becomes aware of which specific sub-page of our website is visited by the affected person.If the affected person is logged into Facebook at the same time, Facebook recognizes with each visit to our website by the affected person and during the entire duration of the respective stay on our website, which specific sub-page of our website the affected person visits. This information is collected by the Facebook component and associated by Facebook with the respective Facebook account of the affected person. If the affected person clicks one of the Facebook buttons integrated on our website, for example, the "Like" button, or the affected person makes a comment, Facebook associates this information with the affected person's personal Facebook user account and stores this personal data.
Facebook always receives information via the Facebook component that the affected person has visited our website if the affected person is logged into Facebook at the same time as accessing our website; this occurs regardless of whether the affected person clicks on the Facebook component or not. If such a transmission of this information to Facebook is not desired by the affected person, they can prevent the transmission by logging out of their Facebook account before accessing our website.

17. Privacy Provisions for the Use and Application of Google AdSense
The entity responsible for processing has integrated Google AdSense into this website. Google AdSense is an online service, which enables the mediation of advertising on third-party sites. Google AdSense relies on an algorithm that selects advertisements displayed on third-party sites to align with the content of the respective third-party site. Google AdSense permits 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 places a cookie on the information technology system of the concerned individual. An explanation of what cookies are has been given above. By setting the cookie, Alphabet Inc. is enabled to analyze the use of our website. With each call-up to one of the individual pages of this website, operated by the entity responsible for processing and on which a Google AdSense component has been integrated, the internet browser on the IT system of the concerned individual is automatically prompted by the respective Google AdSense component to transmit data for the purpose of online advertising and the settlement of commissions to Alphabet Inc. During this technical process, Alphabet Inc. is made aware of personal data, such as the IP address of the concerned individual, which Alphabet Inc. uses, among other things, to trace the origin of visitors and clicks and subsequently allow commission settlements.
The concerned individual can prevent the setting of cookies by our website at any time by means of a corresponding setting of the used internet browser and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Such a setting of the used internet browser would also prevent Alphabet Inc. from placing a cookie on the IT system of the concerned individual. Furthermore, a cookie 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 embedded in web pages to enable a log file recording and a log file analysis, through which a statistical evaluation can be conducted. Based on the embedded tracking pixel, Alphabet Inc. can determine if and when a website was opened by a concerned individual and which links were clicked by them. Tracking pixels are used, among other things, to evaluate the flow of visitors to a website.
Via Google AdSense, personal data and information, which includes the IP address, necessary for the collection and accounting of the displayed advertisements, are transferred to Alphabet Inc. in the United States of America. These personal data are stored and processed in the United States of America. Alphabet Inc. may disclose this personally identifiable information collected through the technical process to third parties.
Google AdSense is further explained under this link:

18. Privacy Provisions for the Use and Application of Google Analytics (with Anonymization Function)
The entity responsible for processing has integrated the Google Analytics component (with anonymization function) into this website. Google Analytics is a web analysis service. Web analysis involves the gathering, collection, and evaluation of data about the behavior of visitors to websites. A web analysis service captures, among other things, data about which website a person has come from to arrive at a website (so-called referrers), which subpages of the website were accessed, or how often and for what duration a subpage was viewed. Web analysis is mainly used to optimize a website and for the cost-benefit analysis of online advertising.
The operating company for the Google Analytics component is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA.
The data controller uses the "_gat._anonymizeIp" extension for web analysis via Google Analytics. By means of this extension, the IP address of the individual's internet connection is shortened and anonymized by Google when accessing our web pages from a member state of the European Union or another signatory to the Agreement on the European Economic Area.
The purpose of the Google Analytics component is to analyze visitor traffic on our website. Among other things, Google uses the data and information obtained to evaluate the use of our website, to compile online reports for us which highlight activities on our websites, and to provide other services related to the use of our website.
Google Analytics places a cookie on the information technology system of the concerned individual. An explanation of what cookies are has been given above. By setting the cookie, Google can analyze the use of our website. With each visit to one of the individual pages of this website, operated by the entity responsible for processing and on which a Google Analytics component has been integrated, the internet browser on the individual's information technology system is automatically prompted by the respective Google Analytics component to transmit data to Google for the purpose of online analysis. In this technical process, Google becomes aware of personal data, such as the IP address of the concerned individual, which Google uses, among other things, to trace the origin of visitors and clicks and subsequently enable commission settlements.
Using the cookie, personal information, for example, the access time, the place from which access originated, and the frequency of visits to our website by the concerned individual, is stored. With each visit to our web pages, these personal data, including the IP address of the internet connection used by the concerned individual, are transmitted to Google in the United States of America. These personal data are stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may pass on this personal data collected through the technical process to third parties.
The concerned individual can prevent the setting of cookies by our website at any time by means of a corresponding setting of the used internet browser and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Such a setting of the used internet browser would also prevent Google from setting a cookie on the information technology system of the concerned individual. Additionally, a cookie already set by Google Analytics can be deleted at any time via the internet browser or other software programs.
Furthermore, the concerned individual has the possibility to object to the collection of data generated by Google Analytics related to the use of this website and the processing of these data by Google and to prevent such collection. To do this, the individual must download and install a browser add-on from the link
https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. This browser add-on tells Google Analytics via JavaScript that no data and information about the visits to websites may be transmitted to Google Analytics. The installation of the browser add-on is considered an objection by Google.
If the information technology system of the individual is deleted, formatted, or reinstalled at a later point in time, the individual must reinstall the browser add-on to deactivate Google Analytics. If the browser add-on is uninstalled or deactivated by the individual or another person within their sphere of influence, it is possible to reinstall or reactivate the browser add-on.

19. Privacy Provisions for the Use and Application of Google+
The data 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, which typically allows users to communicate with each other and interact in the virtual space. A social network can serve as a platform for exchanging opinions and experiences, or allow the internet community to provide personal or company-related information. Google+ allows users of the social network, among other things, to create private profiles, upload photos, and connect through friend requests.
The operating company for Google+ is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA.
With each call-up to one of the individual pages of this website, operated by the data controller and on which a Google+ button has been integrated, the internet browser on the individual's IT system is automatically prompted by the respective Google+ button to download a representation of the corresponding Google+ button from Google. In the context of this technical process, Google receives information about which specific sub-page of our website is visited by the individual. More detailed information about Google+ can be found at
https://developers.google.com/+/.
If the individual is logged into Google+ at the same time, Google recognizes with each call-up of our website by the individual and during the entire duration of their stay on our website, which specific sub-page of our website the individual visits. This information is collected by the Google+ button and assigned by Google to the respective Google+ account of the individual.
If the individual activates one of the Google+ buttons integrated into our website and thereby gives a Google+1 recommendation, Google assigns this information to the personal Google+ user account of the individual and stores this personal data. Google stores the Google+1 recommendation of the individual and makes it publicly available in accordance with the conditions accepted by the individual in this regard. A Google+1 recommendation given by the individual on this website will subsequently be stored and processed together with other personal data, such as the name of the Google+1 account used by the individual and the photo stored in it, in other Google services, such as the search engine results of the Google search engine, the individual's Google account, or in other places, such as on websites or in connection with advertisements. Furthermore, Google is able to link the visit to this website with other personal data stored by Google. Google also records this personal information with the aim of improving or optimizing the various services of Google.
Google always receives information via the Google+ button that the individual has visited our website if the individual is logged into Google+ at the time of accessing our website; this occurs regardless of whether the individual clicks on the Google+ button or not.
If the individual does not want to transmit personal data to Google, they can prevent such transmission by logging out of their Google+ account before accessing our website.

20. Privacy Provisions for the Use and Application of Google AdWords
The data controller has integrated Google AdWords on this website. Google AdWords is an online advertising service that allows advertisers to display ads both in Google's search engine results and on the Google advertising network. Google AdWords allows an advertiser to pre-specify certain keywords by which an ad will only be displayed in Google's search engine results when the user retrieves a keyword-relevant search result. In the Google advertising network, the ads are distributed on topic-relevant websites using an automatic algorithm, taking into account the previously defined keywords.
The operating company of Google AdWords is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA.
The purpose of Google AdWords is to promote 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 by displaying third-party advertising on our website.
If an individual arrives at our website via a Google ad, a so-called conversion cookie is placed on the individual's IT system by Google. An explanation of what cookies are has been given above. A conversion cookie loses its validity after thirty days and is not used to identify the individual. If the cookie has not yet expired, it can be used to trace whether specific sub-pages, such as the shopping cart of an online shop system, were accessed on our website. Using the conversion cookie, both we and Google can track whether an individual who came to our website via an AdWords ad generated revenue, i.e., completed or canceled a purchase.
The data and information collected using the conversion cookie are used by Google to create visit statistics for our website. We use these visit statistics to determine the total number of users referred to us via AdWords ads, i.e., to determine the success or failure of the respective AdWords ad and to optimize our AdWords ads for the future. Neither our company nor other Google AdWords advertisers receive information from Google that could be used to identify the individual.
Through the conversion cookie, personal information, such as the websites visited by the individual, is saved. Therefore, with each visit to our website, personal data, including the IP address of the internet connection used by the individual, are transmitted to Google in the United States of America. This personal data is stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may disclose personal data collected through this technical process to third parties.
The individual can prevent the setting of cookies by our website at any time, as already mentioned above, by using the appropriate setting of the used internet browser and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Such a setting of the used internet browser would also prevent Google from setting a conversion cookie on the individual's IT system. Additionally, a cookie already set by Google AdWords can be deleted at any time via the internet browser or other software programs.
Furthermore, the individual has the opportunity to object to interest-based advertising by Google. To do this, the individual must access the link
www.google.de/settings/ads from each of the internet browsers they use and make the desired settings there.

With every call-up to one of the individual pages of this website, operated by the controller and into which a Xing component (Xing plug-in) is integrated, the internet browser on the information technology system of the concerned person is automatically triggered by the respective Xing component to download a display of the corresponding Xing component from Xing. More information on the Xing plugins can be accessed at
https://dev.xing.com/plugins. As part of this technical process, Xing becomes aware of the specific sub-page of our website visited by the concerned person.
If the concerned person is logged into Xing at the same time, Xing detects with every call-up to our website by the concerned person, and during the entire duration of their stay on our website, which specific sub-page of our website the concerned person visits. This information is collected by the Xing component and associated by Xing with the respective Xing account of the concerned person. If the concerned person clicks on one of the Xing buttons integrated on our website, for instance, the "Share" button, Xing assigns this information to the personal Xing user account of the concerned person and stores this personal data.
Xing always receives information via the Xing component that the concerned person has visited our website if the concerned person is simultaneously logged into Xing at the time of accessing our website; this takes place regardless of whether the concerned person clicks on the Xing component or not. If such a transmission of this information to Xing is not desired by the concerned person, they can prevent this by logging out of their Xing account before accessing our website.

The controller has integrated components of YouTube on this website. YouTube is an internet video portal that allows video publishers to post and share video clips for free, and other users to view, rate, and comment on them free of charge. YouTube allows the publication of all kinds of videos, so complete films and TV broadcasts, as well as music videos, trailers, or videos made by users themselves can be accessed via the internet portal.
The operating company of YouTube is YouTube, LLC, 901 Cherry Ave., San Bruno, CA 94066, USA. YouTube, LLC is a subsidiary of Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA.

32. Payment Method: Data Protection Provisions on PayPal as a Payment Method
The controller has integrated components of PayPal on this website. PayPal is an online payment service provider. Payments are processed via so-called PayPal accounts, which represent virtual private or business accounts. Moreover, PayPal offers the option to process virtual payments via credit cards if a user doesn't have a PayPal account. A PayPal account is managed via an email address, which is why there is no classic account number. PayPal enables triggering online payments to third parties or receiving payments. PayPal also assumes trustee functions and offers buyer protection services.
The European operating company of PayPal is PayPal (Europe) S.à.r.l. & Cie. S.C.A., 22-24 Boulevard Royal, 2449 Luxembourg, Luxembourg.
If the concerned person selects "PayPal" as the payment option during the order process in our online shop, data of the concerned person is automatically transmitted to PayPal. By selecting this payment option, the concerned person consents to the transmission of personal data required for payment processing.
The personal data transmitted to PayPal typically consists of first name, last name, address, email address, IP address, telephone number, mobile phone number, or other data necessary for payment processing. Data necessary for the execution of the purchase contract also includes data related to the order.
The transmission of data aims at payment processing and fraud prevention. The controller will transmit personal data to PayPal especially when there's a legitimate interest in the transmission. The personal data exchanged between PayPal and the controller might be transmitted by PayPal to credit agencies. This transmission aims at identity and creditworthiness checks.
PayPal might disclose personal data to affiliated companies and service providers or subcontractors as far as this is necessary to fulfill contractual obligations or for data to be processed in the order.
The concerned person has the option to revoke consent for the handling of personal data at any time from PayPal. A revocation does not affect personal data that must be processed, used, or transmitted for (contractual) payment processing.

33. Payment Method: Data Protection Provisions on Sofortüberweisung as a Payment Method
The controller has integrated components of Sofortüberweisung on this website. Sofortüberweisung is a payment service that enables cashless payment of products and services on the Internet. Sofortüberweisung represents a technical procedure through which the online retailer immediately receives a payment confirmation. This enables a retailer to deliver goods, services, or downloads to the customer immediately after placing an order.
The operating company of Sofortüberweisung is SOFORT GmbH, Fußbergstraße 1, 82131 Gauting, Germany.
If the concerned person selects "Sofortüberweisung" as the payment option during the order process in our online shop, data of the concerned person is automatically transmitted to Sofortüberweisung. By selecting this payment option, the concerned person consents to the transmission of personal data required for payment processing.
During the purchase process via Sofortüberweisung, the buyer transmits the PIN and TAN to Sofort GmbH. Sofortüberweisung then carries out a transfer to the online retailer after technically checking the account balance and retrieving further data to check account coverage. The online retailer is then automatically informed about the execution of the financial transaction.
The personal data exchanged with Sofortüberweisung usually includes first name, last name, address, email address, IP address, telephone number, mobile phone number, or other data necessary for payment processing. The transmission of data aims at payment processing and fraud prevention. The controller will transmit other personal data to Sofortüberweisung when there's a legitimate interest in the transmission. The personal data exchanged between Sofortüberweisung and the controller might be transmitted by Sofortüberweisung to credit agencies for identity and creditworthiness checks.
Sofortüberweisung may disclose personal data to affiliated companies and service providers or subcontractors as far as this is necessary to fulfill contractual obligations or if the data is to be processed on order.
The concerned person has the option to revoke consent for the handling of personal data at any time from Sofortüberweisung. A revocation does not affect personal data that must be processed, used, or transmitted for (contractual) payment processing.
The current data protection provisions of Sofortüberweisung can be retrieved from

34. Legal Basis for Processing
Art. 6 I lit. a DS-GVO serves our company as the legal basis 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 concerned person is a party, as is the case, for example, with processing operations necessary for the delivery of goods or the provision of other services or consideration, the processing is based on Art. 6 I lit. b DS-GVO. The same applies to such processing operations that are necessary for the execution of 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 the processing of personal data becomes necessary, such as for the fulfillment of tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6 I lit. c DS-GVO. In rare cases, the processing of personal data may be necessary to protect the vital interests of the concerned person or another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor to our company were injured and their name, age, health insurance data, or other vital information had to be passed on to a doctor, hospital, or other third parties. Then the processing would be based on Art. 6 I lit. d DS-GVO. Ultimately, processing operations could be based on Art. 6 I lit. f DS-GVO. 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 a third party, provided that the interests, fundamental rights, and freedoms of the concerned person do not prevail. Such processing operations are permitted to us in particular because they have been specifically mentioned by the European legislator. In that respect, the legislator considered that a legitimate interest could be assumed if the concerned person is a customer of the controller (Recital 47, second sentence, DS-GVO).
35. Legitimate Interests Pursued by the Controller or a Third Party
If the processing of personal data is based on Article 6 I lit. f DS-GVO, our legitimate interest is the performance of our business for the benefit of all our employees and shareholders.
36. Duration for Which the Personal Data Will Be Stored
The criterion for the duration of storage of personal data is the respective legal retention period. After the expiration of this period, the corresponding data is routinely deleted, unless it is no longer necessary for the fulfillment or initiation of the contract.
37. Statutory or Contractual Provisions for Providing Personal Data; Necessity for Contract Conclusion; Obligation of the Concerned Person to Provide Personal Data; Possible Consequences of Not Providing
We inform you that providing personal data is partly required by law (e.g., tax regulations) or can also result from contractual regulations (e.g., information about the contractual partner). Sometimes it may be necessary for a contract conclusion that a concerned person provides us with personal data that must subsequently be processed by us. For example, the concerned person is obliged to provide us with personal data when our company concludes a contract with them. Failure to provide personal data would mean that the contract with the concerned person could not be concluded. Before providing personal data, the concerned person must contact one of our employees. Our employee will inform the concerned person on a case-by-case basis whether the provision of 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 the consequences of not providing the personal data would be.
38. Existence of Automated Decision Making
As a responsible company, we refrain from automatic decision-making or profiling.
