We use the subsequent information on the statistical probability of a payment default to decide whether to offer you payment by invoice.

Social media link via graphic or text link

We also advertise presences on the social networks listed below on our website. The integration takes place via a linked graphic of the respective network. The use of this linked graphic prevents the automatic establishment of a connection to the respective server of the social network when a website with a social media advertisement is called up in order to display a graphic of the respective network itself. Only by clicking on the corresponding graphic is the user redirected to the service of the respective social network. After the user has been forwarded, the respective network collects information about the user. It cannot be ruled out that the data collected in this way will be processed in the USA. This is initially data such as IP address, date, time and page visited. If the user is logged into their user account on the respective network during this time, the network operator may be able to assign the information collected about the user's specific visit to the user's personal account. If the user interacts via a "Share" button of the respective network, this information can be stored in the user's personal user account and published if necessary. If the user wishes to prevent the information collected from being directly assigned to their user account, they must log out before clicking on the graphic. It is also possible to configure the respective user account accordingly. The following social networks are integrated into our site through links:

Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics on our website. This is a web analysis service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, hereinafter referred to as "Google". Through certification in accordance with the EU-US Privacy Shield, Google guarantees that the data protection requirements of the EU are also complied with when processing data in the USA. The Google Analytics service is used to analyze the usage behavior of our website. The legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in the analysis, optimization and economic operation of our website. Usage and user-related information, such as IP address, location, time or frequency of visits to our website, is transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. However, we use Google Analytics with the so-called anonymization function. This function allows Google to shorten the IP address within the EU or EEA. The data collected in this way is in turn used by Google to provide us with an evaluation of the visit to our website and the usage activities there. This data can also be used to provide other services related to the use of our website and the use of the Internet. Google states that it will not associate your IP address with any other data. Google also provides further data protection information for you here, for example on the options for preventing the use of data. Google also offers a so-called deactivation add-on and further information on this. This add-on can be installed with the most common Internet browsers and offers you further control over the data that Google collects when you visit our website. The add-on informs the JavaScript (ga.js) of Google Analytics that information about your visit to our website should not be transmitted to Google Analytics. However, this does not prevent information from being transmitted to us or to other web analysis services. Of course, you can also find out whether and which other web analysis services we use in this privacy policy

Google reCAPTCHA

We use Google reCAPTCHA on our website to check and prevent interactions on our website through automated access, e.g. by so-called bots. This is a service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, hereinafter referred to as "Google". Through certification in accordance with the EU-US Privacy Shield, Google guarantees that the data protection requirements of the EU are also complied with when processing data in the USA. This service enables Google to determine from which website a request is sent and from which IP address you use the so-called reCAPTCHA input box. In addition to your IP address, Google may also collect other information that is necessary for the provision and guarantee of this service. The legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in the security of our website and in the prevention of unwanted, automated access in the form of spam or similar. Google offers further information on the general handling of your user data here.

Google Fonts

We use Google Fonts on our website to display external fonts. This is a service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, hereinafter referred to as "Google". Through certification in accordance with the EU-US Privacy Shield, Google guarantees that the data protection requirements of the EU are also complied with when processing data in the USA. In order to enable the display of certain fonts on our website, a connection to the Google server in the USA is established when our website is accessed. The legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in the optimization and economic operation of our website. The connection to Google established when you access our website enables Google to determine from which website your request has been sent and to which IP address the display of the font is to be transmitted. Google offers further information at https://adssettings.google.com/authenticated and https://policies.google.com/privacy, in particular on the options for preventing the use of data.

YouTube

We use YouTube on our website. This is a video portal of YouTube LLC, 901 Cherry Ave, 94066 San Bruno, CA, USA, hereinafter referred to as "YouTube". YouTube is a subsidiary of Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, hereinafter referred to as "Google". Through certification in accordance with the EU-US Privacy Shield, Google, and thus also its subsidiary YouTube, guarantees that the data protection requirements of the EU are also complied with when processing data in the USA. We use YouTube in connection with the "extended data protection mode" function in order to be able to show you videos. The legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in improving the quality of our website. According to YouTube, the "Enhanced Privacy Mode" function means that the data described in more detail below is only transmitted to the YouTube server when you actually start a video. Without this "extended data protection mode", a connection to the YouTube server in the USA is established as soon as you access one of our web pages on which a YouTube video is embedded. This connection is necessary in order to be able to display the respective video on our website via your Internet browser. In the course of this, YouTube will at least record and process your IP address, the date and time and the website you have visited. In addition, a connection to Google's "DoubleClick" advertising network is established. If you are logged in to YouTube at the same time, YouTube will assign the connection information to your YouTube account. If you wish to prevent this, you must either log out of YouTube before visiting our website or make the appropriate settings in your YouTube user account. For the purpose of functionality and analysis of user behavior, YouTube permanently stores cookies on your end device via your Internet browser. If you do not agree to this processing, you have the option of preventing the storage of cookies by changing the settings in your Internet browser. You can find more information on this above under "Cookies". Google provides further information on the collection and use of data as well as your rights and protection options in this regard in the data protection information available here.

Our legitimate interest lies in the user-friendliness of the website and in fulfilling the legal requirements of the GDPR. The user can prevent or terminate the installation of cookies and their storage, and thus their cookie consent, at any time by changing their browser settings.

Google AdWords with conversion tracking

We use the Google AdWords advertising component on our website, including conversion tracking. This is a service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, hereinafter referred to as "Google". Through certification in accordance with the EU-US Privacy Shield, Google guarantees that the data protection requirements of the EU are also complied with when processing data in the USA.
