STEFAN LINDECKE

Herzlich Willkommen auf meiner Seite!

Ich bin Stefan Lindecke (42), Vater, überzeugter Sozialdemokrat und Europäer. Ich bin hier aufgewachsen und verwurzelt. Und ich lebe gerne hier!

Am 13. September 2026 möchte ich für den Gemeinderat in Nienhagen kandidieren – nicht, weil ich alle Antworten kenne, sondern weil ich anpacken und gute Politik für die Menschen vor Ort machen möchte. Statt darauf zu warten, dass Sie zu mir finden, komme ich zu Ihnen: Ich möchte zuhören, mit Ihnen ins Gespräch kommen und Ihre Ideen, Kritik und Anregungen mitnehmen. Schon jetzt, nicht erst am Wahltag.

Mich interessiert, was Sie bewegt: Was wünschen Sie sich für Nienhagen? Was freut Sie? Was ärgert Sie? Was können wir künftig besser machen und verändern, um gut zusammenleben können? Nehmen Sie doch einfach an meiner [ UMFRAGE ] teil – auch anonym. Ich würde mich freuen!

Manchmal braucht es mehr als ein paar Minuten an der Haustür, um Themen zu besprechen. Schreiben Sie mir, rufen Sie mich an – per Telefon, Signal/SMS, E-Mail oder Brief.

Ihr Stefan Lindecke

Privacy Policy

Personal data (usually referred to just as „data“ below) will only be processed by us to the extent necessary and for the purpose of providing a functional and user-friendly website, including its contents, and the services offered there.

Per Art. 4 No. 1 of Regulation (EU) 2016/679, i.e. the General Data Protection Regulation (hereinafter referred to as the „GDPR“), „processing“ refers to any operation or set of operations such as collection, recording, organization, structuring, storage, adaptation, alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination, or otherwise making available, alignment, or combination, restriction, erasure, or destruction performed on personal data, whether by automated means or not.

The following privacy policy is intended to inform you in particular about the type, scope, purpose, duration, and legal basis for the processing of such data either under our own control or in conjunction with others. We also inform you below about the third-party components we use to optimize our website and improve the user experience which may result in said third parties also processing data they collect and control.

Our privacy policy is structured as follows:

I. Information about us as controllers of your data
II. The rights of users and data subjects
III. Information about the data processing

II. The rights of users and data subjects

With regard to the data processing to be described in more detail below, users and data subjects have the right

  • to confirmation of whether data concerning them is being processed, information about the data being processed, further information about the nature of the data processing, and copies of the data (cf. also Art. 15 GDPR);
  • to correct or complete incorrect or incomplete data (cf. also Art. 16 GDPR);
  • to the immediate deletion of data concerning them (cf. also Art. 17 DSGVO), or, alternatively, if further processing is necessary as stipulated in Art. 17 Para. 3 GDPR, to restrict said processing per Art. 18 GDPR;
  • to receive copies of the data concerning them and/or provided by them and to have the same transmitted to other providers/controllers (cf. also Art. 20 GDPR);
  • to file complaints with the supervisory authority if they believe that data concerning them is being processed by the controller in breach of data protection provisions (see also Art. 77 GDPR).

 

In addition, the controller is obliged to inform all recipients to whom it discloses data of any such corrections, deletions, or restrictions placed on processing the same per Art. 16, 17 Para. 1, 18 GDPR. However, this obligation does not apply if such notification is impossible or involves a disproportionate effort. Nevertheless, users have a right to information about these recipients.

Likewise, under Art. 21 GDPR, users and data subjects have the right to object to the controller’s future processing of their data pursuant to Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. In particular, an objection to data processing for the purpose of direct advertising is permissible.

III. Information about the data processing

Your data processed when using our website will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose for its storage ceases to apply, provided the deletion of the same is not in breach of any statutory storage obligations or unless otherwise stipulated below.

Cookie Manager

To obtain consent for the use of technically unnecessary cookies on the website, the provider uses a cookie manager.

When the website is called up, a cookie with the settings information is stored on the end device of the user so that the request for consent does not have to be made on a subsequent visit.

The cookie is required to obtain legally compliant user consent.

You can prevent cookies from being installed by adjusting the settings on your internet browser.

Cookies

a) Session cookies

We use cookies on our website. Cookies are small text files or other storage technologies stored on your computer by your browser. These cookies process certain specific information about you, such as your browser, location data, or IP address.

This processing makes our website more user-friendly, efficient, and secure, allowing us, for example, to display our website in different languages or to offer a shopping cart function.

The legal basis for such processing is Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b) GDPR, insofar as these cookies are used to collect data to initiate or process contractual relationships.

If the processing does not serve to initiate or process a contract, our legitimate interest lies in improving the functionality of our website. The legal basis is then Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f) GDPR.

When you close your browser, these session cookies are deleted.

b) Third-party cookies

If necessary, our website may also use cookies from companies with whom we cooperate for the purpose of advertising, analyzing, or improving the features of our website.

Please refer to the following information for details, in particular for the legal basis and purpose of such third-party collection and processing of data collected through cookies.

c) Disabling cookies

You can refuse the use of cookies by changing the settings on your browser. Likewise, you can use the browser to delete cookies that have already been stored. However, the steps and measures required vary, depending on the browser you use. If you have any questions, please use the help function or consult the documentation for your browser or contact its maker for support. Browser settings cannot prevent so-called flash cookies from being set. Instead, you will need to change the setting of your Flash player. The steps and measures required for this also depend on the Flash player you are using. If you have any questions, please use the help function or consult the documentation for your Flash player or contact its maker for support.

If you prevent or restrict the installation of cookies, not all of the functions on our site may be fully usable.

Contact

If you contact us via email or the contact form, the data you provide will be used for the purpose of processing your request. We must have this data in order to process and answer your inquiry; otherwise we will not be able to answer it in full or at all.

The legal basis for this data processing is Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b) GDPR.

Your data will be deleted once we have fully answered your inquiry and there is no further legal obligation to store your data, such as if an order or contract resulted therefrom.

Newsletter

If you register for my free newsletter, the data requested from you for this purpose, i.e. your email address and, optionally, your name and address, will be sent to us. We also store the IP address of your computer and the date and time of your registration. During the registration process, we will obtain your consent to receive this newsletter and the type of content it will offer, with reference made to this privacy policy. The data collected will be used exclusively to send the newsletter and will not be passed on to third parties.

The legal basis for this is Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a) GDPR.

You may revoke your prior consent to receive this newsletter under Art. 7 Para. 3 GDPR with future effect. All you have to do is inform us that you are revoking your consent or click on the unsubscribe link contained in each newsletter.

Server data

For technical reasons, the following data sent by your internet browser to us or to our server provider will be collected, especially to ensure a secure and stable website: These server log files record the type and version of your browser, operating system, the website from which you came (referrer URL), the webpages on our site visited, the date and time of your visit, as well as the IP address from which you visited our site.

The data thus collected will be temporarily stored, but not in association with any other of your data.

The basis for this storage is Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in the improvement, stability, functionality, and security of our website.

The data will be deleted within no more than seven days, unless continued storage is required for evidentiary purposes. In which case, all or part of the data will be excluded from deletion until the investigation of the relevant incident is finally resolved.

Instagram

To advertise our products and services as well as to communicate with interested parties or customers, we have a presence on the Instagram platform.

On this social media platform, we are jointly responsible with Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Dublin 2, Irland.

The data protection officer of Instagram can be reached via this contact form:

https://www.facebook.com/help/contact/540977946302970

We have defined the joint responsibility in an agreement regarding the respective obligations within the meaning of the GDPR. This agreement, which sets out the reciprocal obligations, is available at the following link:

https://www.facebook.com/legal/terms/page_controller_addendum

The legal basis for the processing of the resulting and subsequently disclosed personal data is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in the analysis, communication, sales, and promotion of our products and services.

The legal basis may also be your consent per Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR granted to the platform operator. Per Art. 7 para. 3 GDPR, you may revoke this consent with the platform operator at any time with future effect.

When accessing our online presence on the Instagram platform, Meta Platforms Ireland Limited as the operator of the platform in the EU will process your data (e.g. personal information, IP address, etc.).

This data of the user is used for statistical information on the use of our company presence on Instagram. Meta Platforms Ireland Limited uses this data for market research and advertising purposes as well as for the creation of user profiles. Based on these profiles, Meta Platforms Ireland Limited can provide advertising both within and outside of Instagram based on your interests. If you are logged into Instagram at the time you access our site, Meta Platforms Ireland Limited will also link this data to your user account.

If you contact us via Instagram, the personal data your provide at that time will be used to process the request. We will delete this data once we have completely responded to your query, unless there are legal obligations to retain the data, such as for subsequent fulfillment of contracts.

Meta Platforms Ireland Limited might also set cookies when processing your data.

If you do not agree to this processing, you have the option of preventing the installation of cookies by making the appropriate settings in your browser. Cookies that have already been saved can be deleted at any time. The instructions to do this depend on the browser and system being used. For Flash cookies, the processing cannot be prevented by the settings in your browser, but instead by making the appropriate settings in your Flash player. If you prevent or restrict the installation of cookies, not all of the functions of Instagram may be fully usable.

Details on the processing activities, their suppression, and the deletion of the data processed by Instagram can be found in its privacy policy:

https://help.instagram.com/519522125107875

It cannot be excluded that the processing by Meta Platforms Ireland Limited will also take place in the United States by Meta Platforms, Inc., 1601 Willow Road, Menlo Park, California 94025.

LinkedIn

We maintain an online presence on LinkedIn to present our company and our services and to communicate with customers/prospects. LinkedIn is a service of LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company, Wilton Plaza, Wilton Place, Dublin 2, Irland, a subsidiary of LinkedIn Corporation, 1000 W. Maude Avenue, Sunnyvale, CA 94085, USA.

We would like to point out that this might cause user data to be processed outside the European Union, particularly in the United States. This may increase risks for users that, for example, may make subsequent access to the user data more difficult. We also do not have access to this user data. Access is only available to LinkedIn.

The LinkedIn privacy policy can be found here:

https://www.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy

Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics on our website, a web analysis service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, a subsidiary of Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043 USA, hereinafter referred to as “Google”.

Google Analytics helps us analyse website usage and measure the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns. The legal basis for this is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. The user can revoke consent to the use of Google Analytics in accordance with Art. 7 para. 3 GDPR at any time for the future via the “Cookie Settings” on our website.

Information such as time, location and frequency of website visits as well as interactions with the website (e.g. click paths, ads seen/clicked, clicks on links) including the user’s IP address are transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there for a maximum of 2 months.

Google LLC is part of the “Data Privacy Framework”, for which the EU Commission has issued an adequacy decision in accordance with Art. 45 GDPR:

https://www.dataprivacyframework.gov/list

Google also records “demographic characteristics” and can create statistics that allow statements to be made about the age, gender and interests of site visitors. This is done through the automated analysis of advertising and information from third parties.

If the user has activated personalised ads in their Google account and agrees to Google Analytics, Google can analyse usage behaviour across devices – that is, across all devices that the user has linked to their Google account. Google creates models for cross-device conversions; only anonymous statistics are sent to us, no personal data.

If the user wishes to deactivate this cross-device analysis, he or she can deactivate the “Personalised Advertising” function in the settings of his or her Google account using the following link:

https://support.google.com/ads/answer/2662922?hl=de

We use Google Analytics with an anonymisation function. As a result, Google will shorten the user’s IP address within the EU member states or in other contracting states to the EEA Agreement.

Google uses the data collected to evaluate the user’s visit to the website and to compile reports on website activities for us. The data are also used to provide other services related to website and internet usage. Google may transfer this information to third parties where required by law, or where such third parties process the data on Google’s behalf.

According to Google, under no circumstances will the user’s IP address be linked to other Google data. Google offers further information and options for preventing data usage here:

https://www.google.com/intl/de/policies/privacy/partners

If the user does not agree to the collection, he or she can also prevent it by installing the browser add-on to deactivate Google Analytics.

Bei Aufruf unserer Onlinepräsenz auf der Instagram-Plattform verarbeitet Meta Platforms Ireland Limited als Betreiber der Plattform in der EU Ihre Daten (z.B. personenbezogene Informationen, IP-Adresse etc.).

Diese Daten des Nutzers werden für statistische Informationen über die Inanspruchnahme unserer Unternehmenspräsenz auf Instagram genutzt. Meta Platforms Ireland Limited nutzt diese Daten für Marktforschungs- und Werbezwecke sowie zur Erstellung von Nutzungsprofilen. Aufgrund dieser Profile ist es Meta Platforms Ireland Limited möglich, Ihnen innerhalb und außerhalb von Instagram interessenbezogene Werbung anzuzeigen. Falls Sie zum Zeitpunkt des Aufrufs in Ihrem Instagram-Account eingeloggt sind, wird Meta Platforms Ireland Limited diese Daten zudem mit Ihrem Benutzerkonto verknüpfen.

Wenn Sie uns über Instagram kontaktieren, werden die von Ihnen dort gemachten personenbezogenen Angaben zur Bearbeitung der Anfrage genutzt. Die von uns erhobenen Daten in diesem Zusammenhang werden gelöscht, sobald Ihre Anfrage abschließend beantwortet ist und keine gesetzlichen Aufbewahrungspflichten, wie z.B. bei anschließender Vertragsabwicklung, entgegenstehen.

Meta Platforms Ireland Limited setzt ggf. auch Cookies bei der Verarbeitung Ihrer Daten ein.

Falls Sie dieser Verarbeitung nicht zustimmen, können Sie die Installation der Cookies durch entsprechende Einstellungen in Ihrem Browser verhindern. Bereits gespeicherte Cookies können ebenfalls jederzeit gelöscht werden. Die hierfür erforderlichen Schritte und Maßnahmen hängen von Ihrem konkret genutzten Browser ab. Bei Fragen nutzen Sie bitte die Hilfefunktion oder Dokumentation Ihres Browsers oder wenden sich an dessen Hersteller bzw. Support. Bei Flash-Cookies kann die Verarbeitung nicht über die Einstellungen des Browsers verhindert werden, sondern muss über die entsprechende Einstellung Ihres Flash-Players erfolgen. Auch die hierfür erforderlichen Schritte und Maßnahmen hängen von Ihrem konkret genutzten Flash-Player ab. Bei Fragen nutzen Sie bitte ebenfalls die Hilfefunktion oder Dokumentation Ihres Flash-Players oder wenden sich an den Hersteller bzw. Benutzersupport.

Sollten Sie die Installation der Cookies verhindern oder einschränken, kann dies jedoch dazu führen, dass nicht sämtliche Funktionen von Instagram vollumfänglich nutzbar sind.

LinkedIn

Wir unterhalten bei LinkedIn eine Onlinepräsenz, um unser Unternehmen und unsere Leistungen zu präsentieren und mit Kunden bzw. Interessenten zu kommunizieren. LinkedIn ist ein Service der LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company, Wilton Plaza, Wilton Place, Dublin 2, Irland, einer Tochtergesellschaft der LinkedIn Corporation, 1000 W. Maude Avenue, Sunnyvale, CA 94085, USA.

Wir weisen darauf hin, dass dabei die Möglichkeit besteht, dass Daten der Nutzer außerhalb der Europäischen Union, insbesondere in den USA, verarbeitet werden. Dies kann erhöhte Risiken für die Nutzer in sich bergen, z.B. den späteren Zugriff auf die Nutzerdaten erschweren. Auch haben wir keinen Zugriff auf diese Nutzerdaten. Der Zugriff liegt ausschließlich bei LinkedIn.

Die Datenschutzerklärung von LinkedIn finden Sie hier:

Google Analytics

Wir verwenden auf unserer Website Google Analytics, einen Webanalysedienst der Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Irland, einem Tochterunternehmen der Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043 USA, nachstehend „Google“.

Google Analytics hilft uns, die Nutzung unserer Website zu analysieren und die Effektivität unserer Marketingkampagnen zu messen. Rechtsgrundlage hierfür ist Art. 6 Abs. 1 lit. a DSGVO. Der Nutzer kann die Einwilligung zur Nutzung von Google Analytics gemäß Art. 7 Abs. 3 DSGVO jederzeit für die Zukunft über die „Cookie-Einstellungen“ auf unserer Website widerrufen.

Daten wie Uhrzeit, Ort und Häufigkeit des Website-Besuchs sowie Interaktionen mit der Website (z.B. Klickpfade, gesehene/angeklickte Anzeigen, Klicks auf Links) inklusive der IP-Adresse des Nutzers werden an einen Google-Server in den USA übermittelt und dort für maximal 2 Monate gespeichert.

Google LLC ist Teil des „Data Privacy Framework“, für das die EU-Kommission einen Angemessenheitsbeschluss nach Art. 45 DSGVO erlassen hat:

https://www.dataprivacyframework.gov/list

Google zeichnet zudem „demografische Merkmale“ auf und kann Statistiken erstellen, die Aussagen über Alter, Geschlecht und Interessen der Website-Besucher ermöglichen. Dies geschieht durch die automatisierte Analyse von Werbedaten und Informationen von Dritten.

Falls der Nutzer personalisierte Anzeigen in seinem Google-Konto aktiviert hat und der Nutzung von Google Analytics zustimmt, kann Google das Nutzungsverhalten geräteübergreifend analysieren – also über alle Geräte hinweg, die der Nutzer mit seinem Google-Konto verknüpft hat. Google erstellt Modelle für geräteübergreifende Conversions; an uns werden nur anonymisierte Statistiken übermittelt, keine personenbezogenen Daten.

Falls der Nutzer diese geräteübergreifende Analyse deaktivieren möchte, kann er die Funktion „Personalisierte Werbung“ in den Einstellungen seines Google-Kontos über folgenden Link deaktivieren:

https://support.google.com/ads/answer/2662922?hl=de

Wir nutzen Google Analytics mit einer Anonymisierungsfunktion. Dadurch kürzt Google die IP-Adresse des Nutzers innerhalb der Mitgliedstaaten der Europäischen Union oder in anderen Vertragsstaaten des Abkommens über den Europäischen Wirtschaftsraum.

Google nutzt die gesammelten Daten, um die Nutzung unserer Website durch den Nutzer auszuwerten, um Reports über die Website-Aktivitäten für uns zu erstellen und um weitere mit der Website-Nutzung und der Internetnutzung verbundene Dienstleistungen zu erbringen. Google gibt diese Informationen ggf. an Dritte weiter, sofern dies gesetzlich vorgeschrieben ist oder soweit Dritte diese Daten im Auftrag von Google verarbeiten.

Nach Angaben von Google wird die IP-Adresse des Nutzers in keinem Fall mit anderen Daten von Google in Verbindung gebracht. Google bietet weitere Informationen sowie Möglichkeiten zur Verhinderung der Datennutzung hier an:

https://www.google.com/intl/de/policies/privacy/partners

Falls der Nutzer die Erhebung nicht wünscht, kann er auch das Browser-Add-on zur Deaktivierung von Google Analytics installieren.

Sie können Ihre Einwilligung in den Newsletterversand gemäß Art. 7 Abs. 3 DSGVO jederzeit mit Wirkung für die Zukunft widerrufen. Dazu müssen Sie uns lediglich über Ihren Widerruf in Kenntnis setzen oder den in jedem Newsletter enthaltenen Abmeldelink betätigen.

Per Art. 4 No. 1 of Regulation (EU) 2016/679, i.e. the General Data Protection Regulation (hereinafter referred to as the „GDPR“), „processing“ refers to any operation or set of operations such as collection, recording, organization, structuring, storage, adaptation, alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination, or otherwise making available, alignment, or combination, restriction, erasure, or destruction performed on personal data, whether by automated means or not.

The following privacy policy is intended to inform you in particular about the type, scope, purpose, duration, and legal basis for the processing of such data either under our own control or in conjunction with others.

II. The rights of users and data subjects

With regard to the data processing to be described in more detail below, users and data subjects have the right

  • to confirmation of whether data concerning them is being processed, information about the data being processed, further information about the nature of the data processing, and copies of the data (cf. also Art. 15 GDPR);
  • to correct or complete incorrect or incomplete data (cf. also Art. 16 GDPR);
  • to the immediate deletion of data concerning them (cf. also Art. 17 DSGVO), or, alternatively, if further processing is necessary as stipulated in Art. 17 Para. 3 GDPR, to restrict said processing per Art. 18 GDPR;
  • to receive copies of the data concerning them and/or provided by them and to have the same transmitted to other providers/controllers (cf. also Art. 20 GDPR);
  • to file complaints with the supervisory authority if they believe that data concerning them is being processed by the controller in breach of data protection provisions (see also Art. 77 GDPR).

 

In addition, the controller is obliged to inform all recipients to whom it discloses data of any such corrections, deletions, or restrictions placed on processing the same per Art. 16, 17 Para. 1, 18 GDPR. However, this obligation does not apply if such notification is impossible or involves a disproportionate effort. Nevertheless, users have a right to information about these recipients.

Likewise, under Art. 21 GDPR, users and data subjects have the right to object to the controller’s future processing of their data pursuant to Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. In particular, an objection to data processing for the purpose of direct advertising is permissible.

III. Information about the data processing

Your data processed when using our website will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose for its storage ceases to apply, provided the deletion of the same is not in breach of any statutory storage obligations or unless otherwise stipulated below.

Cookie Manager

To obtain consent for the use of technically unnecessary cookies on the website, the provider uses a cookie manager.

When the website is called up, a cookie with the settings information is stored on the end device of the user so that the request for consent does not have to be made on a subsequent visit.

The cookie is required to obtain legally compliant user consent.

You can prevent cookies from being installed by adjusting the settings on your internet browser.

Cookies

a) Session cookies

We use cookies on our website. Cookies are small text files or other storage technologies stored on your computer by your browser. These cookies process certain specific information about you, such as your browser, location data, or IP address.

This processing makes our website more user-friendly, efficient, and secure, allowing us, for example, to display our website in different languages or to offer a shopping cart function.

The legal basis for such processing is Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b) GDPR, insofar as these cookies are used to collect data to initiate or process contractual relationships.

If the processing does not serve to initiate or process a contract, our legitimate interest lies in improving the functionality of our website. The legal basis is then Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f) GDPR.

When you close your browser, these session cookies are deleted.

b) Third-party cookies

If necessary, our website may also use cookies from companies with whom we cooperate for the purpose of advertising, analyzing, or improving the features of our website.

Please refer to the following information for details, in particular for the legal basis and purpose of such third-party collection and processing of data collected through cookies.

c) Disabling cookies

You can refuse the use of cookies by changing the settings on your browser. Likewise, you can use the browser to delete cookies that have already been stored. However, the steps and measures required vary, depending on the browser you use. If you have any questions, please use the help function or consult the documentation for your browser or contact its maker for support. Browser settings cannot prevent so-called flash cookies from being set. Instead, you will need to change the setting of your Flash player. The steps and measures required for this also depend on the Flash player you are using. If you have any questions, please use the help function or consult the documentation for your Flash player or contact its maker for support.

If you prevent or restrict the installation of cookies, not all of the functions on our site may be fully usable.

Contact

If you contact us via email or the contact form, the data you provide will be used for the purpose of processing your request. We must have this data in order to process and answer your inquiry; otherwise we will not be able to answer it in full or at all.

The legal basis for this data processing is Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b) GDPR.

Your data will be deleted once we have fully answered your inquiry and there is no further legal obligation to store your data, such as if an order or contract resulted therefrom.

Newsletter

If you register for my free newsletter, the data requested from you for this purpose, i.e. your email address and, optionally, your name and address, will be sent to us. We also store the IP address of your computer and the date and time of your registration. During the registration process, we will obtain your consent to receive this newsletter and the type of content it will offer, with reference made to this privacy policy.

The legal basis for this is Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a) GDPR.

You may revoke your prior consent to receive this newsletter under Art. 7 Para. 3 GDPR with future effect. All you have to do is inform us that you are revoking your consent or click on the unsubscribe link contained in each newsletter.

Server data

For technical reasons, the following data sent by your internet browser to us or to our server provider will be collected, especially to ensure a secure and stable website: These server log files record the type and version of your browser, operating system, the website from which you came (referrer URL), the webpages on our site visited, the date and time of your visit, as well as the IP address from which you visited our site.

The data thus collected will be temporarily stored, but not in association with any other of your data.

The basis for this storage is Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in the improvement, stability, functionality, and security of our website.

The data will be deleted within no more than seven days, unless continued storage is required for evidentiary purposes. In which case, all or part of the data will be excluded from deletion until the investigation of the relevant incident is finally resolved.

Instagram

To advertise our products and services as well as to communicate with interested parties or customers, we have a presence on the Instagram platform.

On this social media platform, we are jointly responsible with Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Dublin 2, Irland.

We have defined the joint responsibility in an agreement regarding the respective obligations within the meaning of the GDPR. This agreement, which sets out the reciprocal obligations, is available at the following link:

https://www.facebook.com/legal/terms/page_controller_addendum

The legal basis for the processing of the resulting and subsequently disclosed personal data is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in the analysis, communication, sales, and promotion of our products and services.

The legal basis may also be your consent per Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR granted to the platform operator. Per Art. 7 para. 3 GDPR, you may revoke this consent with the platform operator at any time with future effect.

When accessing our online presence on the Instagram platform, Meta Platforms Ireland Limited as the operator of the platform in the EU will process your data (e.g. personal information, IP address, etc.).

This data of the user is used for statistical information on the use of our company presence on Instagram. Meta Platforms Ireland Limited uses this data for market research and advertising purposes as well as for the creation of user profiles. Based on these profiles, Meta Platforms Ireland Limited can provide advertising both within and outside of Instagram based on your interests. If you are logged into Instagram at the time you access our site, Meta Platforms Ireland Limited will also link this data to your user account.

If you contact us via Instagram, the personal data your provide at that time will be used to process the request. We will delete this data once we have completely responded to your query, unless there are legal obligations to retain the data, such as for subsequent fulfillment of contracts.

Meta Platforms Ireland Limited might also set cookies when processing your data.

If you do not agree to this processing, you have the option of preventing the installation of cookies by making the appropriate settings in your browser. Cookies that have already been saved can be deleted at any time. The instructions to do this depend on the browser and system being used. For Flash cookies, the processing cannot be prevented by the settings in your browser, but instead by making the appropriate settings in your Flash player. If you prevent or restrict the installation of cookies, not all of the functions of Instagram may be fully usable.

Details on the processing activities, their suppression, and the deletion of the data processed by Instagram can be found in its privacy policy:

https://help.instagram.com/519522125107875

LinkedIn

We maintain an online presence on LinkedIn to present our company and our services and to communicate with customers/prospects. LinkedIn is a service of LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company, Wilton Plaza, Wilton Place, Dublin 2, Irland, a subsidiary of LinkedIn Corporation, 1000 W. Maude Avenue, Sunnyvale, CA 94085, USA.

We would like to point out that this might cause user data to be processed outside the European Union, particularly in the United States. This may increase risks for users that, for example, may make subsequent access to the user data more difficult. We also do not have access to this user data. Access is only available to LinkedIn.

The LinkedIn privacy policy can be found here:

Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics on our website, a web analysis service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, a subsidiary of Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043 USA, hereinafter referred to as “Google”.

Google Analytics helps us analyse website usage and measure the effectiveness of our marketing campaigns. The legal basis for this is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. The user can revoke consent to the use of Google Analytics in accordance with Art. 7 para. 3 GDPR at any time for the future via the “Cookie Settings” on our website.

Information such as time, location and frequency of website visits as well as interactions with the website (e.g. click paths, ads seen/clicked, clicks on links) including the user’s IP address are transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there for a maximum of 2 months.

Google LLC is part of the “Data Privacy Framework”, for which the EU Commission has issued an adequacy decision in accordance with Art. 45 GDPR:

https://www.dataprivacyframework.gov/list

Google also records “demographic characteristics” and can create statistics that allow statements to be made about the age, gender and interests of site visitors. This is done through the automated analysis of advertising and information from third parties.

If the user has activated personalised ads in their Google account and agrees to Google Analytics, Google can analyse usage behaviour across devices – that is, across all devices that the user has linked to their Google account. Google creates models for cross-device conversions; only anonymous statistics are sent to us, no personal data.

If the user wishes to deactivate this cross-device analysis, he or she can deactivate the “Personalised Advertising” function in the settings of his or her Google account using the following link:

https://support.google.com/ads/answer/2662922?hl=de

We use Google Analytics with an anonymisation function. As a result, Google will shorten the user’s IP address within the EU member states or in other contracting states to the EEA Agreement.

Google uses the data collected to evaluate the user’s visit to the website and to compile reports on website activities for us. The data are also used to provide other services related to website and internet usage. Google may transfer this information to third parties where required by law, or where such third parties process the data on Google’s behalf.

According to Google, under no circumstances will the user’s IP address be linked to other Google data. Google offers further information and options for preventing data usage here:

Cookie Manager

To obtain consent for the use of technically unnecessary cookies on the website, the provider uses a cookie manager.

When the website is called up, a cookie with the settings information is stored on the end device of the user so that the request for consent does not have to be made on a subsequent visit.

The cookie is required to obtain legally compliant user consent.

You can prevent cookies from being installed by adjusting the settings on your internet browser.

Cookies

a) Session cookies

We use cookies on our website. Cookies are small text files or other storage technologies stored on your computer by your browser. These cookies process certain specific information about you, such as your browser, location data, or IP address.

This processing makes our website more user-friendly, efficient, and secure, allowing us, for example, to display our website in different languages or to offer a shopping cart function.

The legal basis for such processing is Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b) GDPR, insofar as these cookies are used to collect data to initiate or process contractual relationships.

If the processing does not serve to initiate or process a contract, our legitimate interest lies in improving the functionality of our website. The legal basis is then Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f) GDPR.

When you close your browser, these session cookies are deleted.

However, the steps and measures required vary, depending on the browser you use. If you have any questions, please use the help function or consult the documentation for your browser or contact its maker for support. Browser settings cannot prevent so-called flash cookies from being set. Instead, you will need to change the setting of your Flash player.

If you prevent or restrict the installation of cookies, not all of the functions on our site may be fully usable.

If the user has activated personalised ads in their Google account and agrees to Google Analytics, Google can analyse usage behaviour across devices – that is, across all devices that the user has linked to their Google account. Google creates models for cross-device conversions; only anonymous statistics are sent to us, no personal data.

https://support.google.com/ads/answer/2662922?hl=de

We use Google Analytics with an anonymisation function. As a result, Google will shorten the user’s IP address within the EU member states or in other contracting states to the EEA Agreement.

Google uses the data collected to evaluate the user’s visit to the website and to compile reports on website activities for us. The data are also used to provide other services related to website and internet usage. Google may transfer this information to third parties where required by law, or where such third parties process the data on Google’s behalf.

According to Google, under no circumstances will the user’s IP address be linked to other Google data. Google offers further information and options for preventing data usage here:
