      9 Consent to data processing with Usercentrics

      9.1 Type and data of the processing

      We use the Usercentrics Consent Management Platform as a consent management tool as part of the analytics activities on our website. The Usercentrics Consent Management Platform collects log file and consent data using JavaScript. This JavaScript makes it possible to inform users about their consent to certain tags on our website and to obtain, manage and document this consent.

      We process the following data:

      • Consent data or consent data
      • anonymised logbook data (Consent ID, Processor ID, Controller ID, Consent Status, Timestamp)
      • Device data or data of the devices used, such as truncated IP addresses (IP v4, IP v6), device information, date, time
      • User data (e.g. email, ID, browser information, SettingIDs, changelog)

      No user information is stored for the statistics on the use of consent given or not given. Only the frequency and locations of clicks are stored.

      9.2 Purposes and legal basis of processing

      The purpose of data processing is to analyse and manage the consents given in order to fulfil the legal requirements of the GDPR and the Telecommunications Digital Services Data Protection Act (TDDDG). The use of Usercentrics serves the following purposes

      • Obtaining and providing consent
      • Proof of which device you used to provide consent and at what time
      • Legitimisation of access to the settings and documentation of changes.

      The legal basis for the management of your consent to the processing of your personal data is Art. 6 para. 1 subpara. 1 letter f) GDPR.

      Our legitimate interest lies in the legally compliant documentation and verifiability of consent, the management of marketing measures based on the consent given and the optimisation of consent rates.

      We have concluded an order processing contract with the service provider. This is a contract prescribed by data protection law, which ensures that Usercentrics processes the personal data of our website visitors only in accordance with our instructions and in compliance with the GDPR.

      The legal basis for the storage of your settings is in accordance with § 25 para. 2 sentence 2 TDDDG, as this is absolutely necessary for the function of Usercentrics and the fulfilment of legal requirements. If the settings of your end device prevent the storage of cookies, no settings can be saved by you on your end device and no additional functions can be used.

      9.3 Recipients and categories of recipients

      We use the Usercentrics Consent Management Platform (Usercentrics) from Usercentrics GmbH, Rosental 4, 80331 Munich. According to the service provider, this data is processed in the European Union. The data is transmitted to Google Cloud EMEA Ltd, 70 Sir John Rogerson’s Quay, Dublin 2, Ireland.

      9.4 Transfers to a third country and existence of the adequacy decision

The European Commission has recognised the level of data protection for certain companies from the USA in an adequacy decision (so-called EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework). The company has self-certified under this framework and has thus committed to compliance. Self-certification means that the transfer of personal data to the USA is permitted on the basis of the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework.

      9.5 Storage period and, if applicable, criteria for determining the storage criteria

      The data is deleted as soon as it is no longer required. The associated cookie has a duration of 60 days. The revocation document of a previously granted consent is stored for a period of three years. The retention is based, on the one hand, on our accountability pursuant to Art. 5 para. 2 GDPR in conjunction with Section 31 of the German Administrative Offences Act (Ordnungswidrigkeitengesetz).

      9.6 Miscellaneous

      You can permanently prevent the execution of JavaScript at any time by making the appropriate settings in your browser, which would also prevent Usercentrics from executing the JavaScript.
