When using some services, personal data may be transferred to servers in the USA. The legal basis for this transfer is consent pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (1) (a) GDPR. The United States of America does not provide an adequate level of data protection based on a decision of the European Union. The essential risk of the transfer lies in the obligation of the plug-in providers to make user data accessible to American authorities under certain circumstances. A data processing agreement with standard contractual clauses is currently in place with all providers in order to make the third-country transfer as data-protection-friendly and secure as possible. Adjustments to the ECJ ruling of 16.07.2020 (Schrems II, ref. C-311/18) including additional security measures are currently being sought by us.

The plugins used are listed below:

XIII. Geotargeting

We use the IP address and other information provided by the user (in particular zip code in the context of registration or ordering) for regional targeting (so-called "geotargeting").

Regional targeting is used, for example, to automatically show you regional offers or advertising that are often more relevant to users. The legal basis for the use of the IP address and, if applicable, other information provided by the user (in particular zip code) is Art. 6 (1) (1) (f) GDPR, based on our interest in ensuring more precise targeting and thus providing offers and advertising with higher relevance for users.

In this context, a part of the IP address as well as the additional information provided by the user (in particular zip code) are only read and not stored separately.

You can prevent geotargeting by, for example, using a VPN or proxy server that prevents precise localization. In addition, depending on the browser used, you can also deactivate location localization in the corresponding browser settings (insofar as the respective browser supports this).

We use geotargeting on our platform for the following purposes:
