Data collection during registration and registered use
On our website, we offer users the opportunity to register by providing personal nformation. The data is entered into an input mask and transmitted to us and stored. A transfer of data to third parties does not take place. The following data is collected during the registration process: the IP address of the user, date and time of registration, etc.
As part of the registration process, the consent of the user to process this data is obtained.
The legal basis for the processing of the data after the user has registered for the newsletter is in the presence of the user's consent Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR.
If the registration is based of the fulfillment of a contract (if you are a customer of ours, you can always download the latest firmware versions and documentation for your device) of which the user is the contractor or the implementation of pre-contractual measures, there is the additional legal basis for the processing of the data Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b DSGVO.
User registration is required for the provision of certain content and services on our website and is required to fulfill a contract with the user or to perform pre-contractual action.
The data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer necessary for the purpose of its collection. This is the case for the data collected during the registration process when the registration on our website is canceled or modified.
As a user, you have the option of canceling the registration at any time. You can change the data stored about you at any time.
Transmission of data via the internet
The transmission of data via the internet generally involves certain risks. Deliberate encryption of the data does not take place; in particular, messages from the contact form of our website and messages in the service chat are transmitted unencrypted.
Please bear this in mind when transmitting data. If you would like to communicate with us via encrypted e-mail, this can be done via S/MIME encryption. Please specifically request this encryption from us, as we generally send messages unencrypted due to the currently low market penetration of e-mail encryption procedures.
Disclosure of data
When you provide us with personal data, it is only disclosed to third parties to the extent necessary for the performance of the contractual relationship or other legal grounds legitimise this disclosure.
However, we provide certain services withthe assistance of service providers. We have carefully selected these service providers and taken corresponding measures to protect your personal data.

In this case, the following types of data are collected: Browser type, version used, operating system of the user, internet service provider, IP address of the user, date and time accessed, websites from which the user’s system are directed to our website or which the user is directed to from our website.
The legal basis for the temporary storage of the data and the log files is Art. 6 (1) f of the GDPR with the aforementioned legitimate interests.
The temporary storage of the IP address by the system is necessary to make it possible for the website to be delivered to the user’s computer. For this purpose, the IP address of the user must remain saved for the duration of the session.
Storage in log files takes place to ensure the functionality of the website. Furthermore, we use the data to optimise the website and to ensure the safety of our information technology systems. An evaluation of the data for marketing purposes does not take place in this context. These purposes also justify our legitimate interests to perform data processing pursuant to Art. 6 (1) f of the GDPR. The data will be deleted assoon as they are no longer necessary to fulfil the purpose of their collection. In the case of the collection of the data for the provision of the website, this is the case when the respective session is terminated. The collection of the data for the provision of the website and the storage of the data in log files is absolutely necessary for the operation of the website. Furthermore, we reserve the right to review the files when concrete indications exist which point to a justified suspicion of unlawful use or a specific attack on the pages. In this case, it is within our legitimate interests to perform processing for the purposes of clarifying the issue and the criminal prosecution of such attacks and unlawful use.

Alternatively, you can also get in touch via the e-mail address provided under the “contact” button. In this case, the personal data of the user transmitted with the e-mail will be saved. No disclosure of the data to third parties takes place in this context. The data will be used exclusively for processing the conversation.
The legal basis for the processing is:
- For the processing of data which is transmitted as part of the sending of an e-mail, Art. 6 (1) f GDPR with the aforementioned legitimate interests.
- If the e-mail contact serves the purpose of entering into a contract, Art. 6 (1) b of the GDPR serves as the additional legal basis for the processing.

Newsletter
Some of our websites allow you to subscribe to a free newsletter. Provided you give us your specific consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) a GDPR, we will send you e-mail newsletters with promotional information (hereinafter ‘newsletter’). Our newsletter contains information on our service offerings, promotions, events, prize draws, job offers, and articles.
After registration, the data subject receives a confirmation e-mail in which an activation link needs to be clicked on to complete the registration. This corresponds to the double opt-in procedure, which ensures that the data subject is not registered for the newsletter by a third party and for documentation purposes. The consent for receiving the newsletter can be revoked by sending an e-mail to the e-mail address specified in the ‘Impressum’/Legal notice or by clicking on the unsubscribe link in the newsletter.
However, messages without promotional information which are sent as part of our contractual or other business relationship do not constitute newsletters. This includes e.g. the sending ofservice e-mails with technical information and follow-up questions on orders, events, prize draw notifications, or similar messages.
For the newsletter, only the e-mail address of the data subject is collected and stored. The legal basis is Art. 6 (1) f GDPR with the aforementioned legitimate interests.
A statistical evaluation of the reading behaviour only takes place to the extent where it can be determined whether the recipients have opened the newsletter and clicked on the links. However, this is a function which we only use to review user activity and be able to perform the corresponding optimisations. For this purpose, the newsletter contains a web beacon, a pixel-sized file which is accessed from our server when the newsletter is opened.
You may revoke your consent to the storage of the data, the e-mail address, as well as its use to send the newsletter at any time. This revocation can be performed via a link in the newsletter itself, (in your profile area) or by sending a message to the following avenues of contact.

Google Campaign Manager (former DoubleClick by Google)
We use the online marketing tool Campaign Manager from Google Inc. (Google). Campaign Manager uses cookies to serve ads relevant to users, to improve campaign performance reports or to prevent a user from seeing the same ads more than once. Google uses a cookie ID to record which ads are shown in which browser and can thus prevent them from being shown more than once. Campaign Manager may also use cookie IDs to track conversions related to ad requests. This is the case, for example, when a user sees a Campaign Manager ad and later uses the same browser to visit the advertiser's website and make a purchase. According to Google, Campaign Manager cookies do not contain any personal information.
Because of the marketing tools used, your browser automatically establishes a direct connection with Google's server. We have no influence on the scope and further use of the data collected by Google through the use of this tool and therefore inform you according to our state of knowledge: Through the integration of Campaign Manager, Google receives the information that you have called up the corresponding part of our website or clicked on an advertisement from us. If you are registered with a Google service, Google can allocate the visit to your account. Even if you are not registered with Google or have not logged in, it is possible that the provider will find out and save your IP address.
You can prevent participation in this tracking procedure in various ways:
a) by adjusting your browser software accordingly; in particular, the suppression of third-party cookies means that you will not receive advertisements from third-party providers;
b) by disabling cookies for conversion tracking by setting your browser to block cookies from the domain "www.googleadservices.com", https://www.google.de/settings/ads, this setting will be deleted when you delete your cookies;
c) by deactivating the interest-based ads of the providers that are part of the self-regulation campaign "About Ads" via the link http://www.aboutads.info/choices, this setting being deleted if you delete your cookies;
d) by permanently deactivating them in your Firefox, Internet Explorer or Google Chrome browsers via the link http://www.google.com/settings/ads/plugin. We would like to point out that in this case you may not be able to use all functions of this offer to their full extent.
The legal basis for the processing of your data is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR.
Further information on Campaign Manager by Google is available at https://www.google.de/Campaign Manager and http://support.google.com/adsense/answer/2839090, and on data protection at Google in general: https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy.
