6. Privacy policy regarding the use and application of Shariff
We have integrated the Shariff component on our website. The Shariff component provides social media buttons that comply with data protection regulations. Shariff was developed for the German computer magazine c't and is published by GitHub, Inc. Developer of the component is GitHub, Inc. 88 Colin P. Kelly Junior Street, San Francisco, CA 94107, USA
Usually, the button solutions provided by social networks already transfer personal data to the respective social network when a user visits a website into which a social media button has been integrated. By using the Shariff component, personal data is only transmitted to social networks when the visitor to a website actively presses one of the social media buttons. Further information on the Shariff component can be found in the computer magazine c't :
http://www.heise.de/newsticker/meldung/Datenschutz-und-Social-Media-Der-c-t-Shariff-ist-im-Einsatz-2470103.html .The purpose of using the Shariff component is to protect the personal data of visitors to our website and at the same time to enable us to integrate a button solution for social networks on this website.

7. Data protection regulations regarding the use and application of Matomo
Matomo is an open source software tool for web analysis. Web analysis is the collection and evaluation of data on the behavior of visitors to Internet sites. Among other things, a web analysis tool collects such data on the website as from which site a person has accessed a website (a so-called referrer), which subpages of the website have been accessed or how often and for how long a subpage has been viewed. A web analysis is mainly used to optimize our website.
The software is operated on the server of our service provider Novolix UG (limited liability), CEO Eric Hermann, Köthener Str. 5, 10963 Berlin (data protection regulation at https://www.novolix.com/de/datenschutz/datenschutz.html), the data protection-sensitive log files are stored exclusively on these servers.
The purpose of the Matomo component is to analyze the flow of visitors to our website. We use the collected data and information, among other things, to evaluate the use of our website in order to compile online reports that show the activities on our website.
Matomo places a cookie on the end device of the person concerned. By setting the cookie, we are able to analyze the use of our website. Every time a page of this website is accessed, the Matomo component automatically triggers the Internet browser on the end device of the person concerned to transmit data to our server infrastructure for the purpose of online analysis. As part of this technical procedure, we obtain knowledge of personal data, such as the IP address of the person concerned, which among other things allows us to trace the origin of visitors and clicks.
Cookies are used to store personal information, such as access time, the location from which access originated and the frequency of visits to our website. Whenever you visit our website, this personal data, including the IP address of the Internet connection used by the person concerned, is transmitted to our server. This personal data is stored by us. We do not pass this personal data on to third parties.
The person concerned can prevent the setting of cookies by our website at any time, as already described above, by means of an appropriate setting of the internet browser used and thus permanently refuse to accept to the setting of cookies. Such a setting of the Internet browser used would also prevent Matomo from setting a cookie on the end device of the person concerned. In addition, a cookie already set by Matomo can be deleted at any time via an internet browser or other software programs.
Furthermore, the person concerned has the possibility to object to the collection of data generated by Matomo in connection with the use of this website and to prevent such collection. To do this, the person concerned must set an opt-out cookie. If the end device of the person affected is deleted, formatted or reinstalled at a later time, the person affected must set an opt-out cookie again.
However, by setting the opt-out cookie, it is possible that our website may no longer be fully usable.

8. YouTube
For the integration of videos, our website uses the provider YouTube LLC, 901 Cherry Avenue, San Bruno, CA 94066, USA, represented by Google Inc, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. Normally your IP address is already sent to YouTube and cookies are set on your computer when you visit a page with embedded videos. However, we have included our YouTube videos in the enhanced privacy mode (in which case YouTube will still contact Google's Double Click service, but Google's privacy policy does not evaluate personal information). As a result, YouTube no longer stores information about visitors unless they watch the video. When you click on the video, your IP address will be transmitted to YouTube and YouTube will know that you have watched the video. If you are logged in to YouTube, this information will also be associated with your user account (you can prevent this by logging out on YouTube before viewing the video).
We have no knowledge of and no influence on the possible collection and use of your data by YouTube. For more information, please see YouTube's privacy policy at: www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/. In addition, for general handling and deactivation of cookies, we refer to our general description in this data protection declaration.
9. Vimeo
Our website also uses the provider Vimeo, Inc. 555 West 18th Street, New York, New York 10011, USA for the integration of videos. If you visit the websites provided with such a plug-in, a connection to the Vimeo servers is established and the plug-in is displayed. This will transmit to the Vimeo server which of our web pages you have visited. If you are logged in as a member of Vimeo, Vimeo will assign this information to your personal user account. When using the plug-in, e.g. clicking the start button of a video, this information is also assigned to your user account. You can prevent this assignment by logging out of your Vimeo account and deleting the corresponding Vimeo cookies before using our website.

11. Infomail tracking
Our Infomails contain so-called tracking pixels. A tracking pixel is a miniature graphic embedded in e-mails sent in HTML format to enable log file recording and analysis. This allows a statistical evaluation of the success or failure of online marketing campaigns to be carried out. On the basis of the embedded pixel-code we can recognize whether and when an e-mail was opened by a recipient and which links in the e-mail were activated by the recipient.
Such personal data collected via the tracking pixels contained in the Infomails are stored and evaluated by the data controller in order to optimize the dispatch of the Infomail and to adapt the content of future Infomails to better serve the interests of the individual concerned. This personal data will not be passed on to third parties. Persons concerned are entitled at any time to revoke the respective separate declaration of consent given via the double opt-in procedure. After revocation, this personal data will be deleted by the data controller. We automatically interpret a cancellation of the Infomail subscription as a revocation.

Whether a single page of our website is transmitted in encrypted form is indicated by the closed display of the key or lock symbol in the lower status bar of your browser.
We also use suitable technical and organizational security measures to protect your data against accidental or intentional manipulation, partial or complete loss, destruction or unauthorized access by third parties.
