An exception applies in cases where prior consent cannot be obtained for factual reasons, and the processing of data is permitted by legal regulations. - Legal Basis for Personal Data Processing
Where we obtain the consent of the data subject for processing personal data, Article 6(1)(a) of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) serves as the legal basis for personal data processing.

Where the processing of personal data is necessary to fulfill a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Article 6(1)(c) GDPR serves as the legal basis.
In the event that vital interests of the data subject or another natural person require the processing of personal data, Article 6(1)(d) GDPR serves as the legal basis.
If the processing is necessary for the legitimate interests pursued by our company or by a third party, and if the interests, fundamental rights, and freedoms of the data subject do not override the former interest, Article 6(1)(f) GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing. - Data Erasure and Storage Duration
Personal data of the data subject will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of storage ceases to apply. Storage may also take place if provided for by the European or national legislator in EU regulations, laws, or other provisions to which the controller is subject.

VI. Google AdWords and Google Conversion-Tracking
This website uses Google AdWords, an online advertising program by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, United States (“Google”).

The information obtained using the conversion cookie is used to create conversion statistics for AdWords customers who have opted for conversion tracking. Customers are told the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a page with a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not receive information that personally identifies users. If you do not want to participate in tracking, you can object to this use by easily disabling the Google conversion tracking cookie via your internet browser’s user settings. You will then not be included in the conversion tracking statistics.

VII. Social Media Plugins
This website uses so-called plugins from the providers Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube.
Facebook is operated by Facebook Inc., 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA. An overview of Facebook’s plugins can be found here:
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/
YouTube is operated by YouTube, LLC, 901 Cherry Ave., San Bruno, CA 94066 USA, represented by Google Inc. (“Google”) at the same address. You can find more information about YouTube plugins here: https://plus.google.com/+youtube/posts.
Instagram is offered by Instagram Inc., 1601 Willow Road, Menlo Park, CA, 94025, USA. More information can be found in Instagram’s privacy policy: http://instagram.com/about/legal/privacy/.
We use the so-called two-click solution. This means that when you visit our site, no personal data is initially passed on to the providers of the plugins. You can recognize the provider of the plugin by the marking on the box with its initial letter or logo. We offer you the opportunity to communicate directly with the plugin provider via the button. Only when you click on the marked field and activate it, does the plugin provider receive information that you have accessed the corresponding website of our online offering. In addition, the data mentioned in § 3 of this declaration is transmitted. According to the information provided by the respective providers, the IP address is immediately anonymized after it is collected in Germany for Facebook and Xing. By activating the plugin, personal data about you is transmitted to the respective plugin provider and stored there (for US providers, in the USA). Since the plugin provider primarily collects data using cookies, we recommend that you delete all cookies via your browser’s security settings before clicking on the grayed-out box.
We have no influence on the data collected and data processing operations, nor are we aware of the full extent of data collection, the purposes of processing, the storage periods. We also have no information on the deletion of data collected by the plugin provider.
The plugin provider stores the data collected about you as usage profiles and uses these for advertising, market research, and/or the needs-based design of its website. Such an evaluation is carried out in particular (also for users who are not logged in) for the presentation of needs-based advertising and to inform other users of the social network about your activities on our website. You have a right to object to the creation of these user profiles, and you must contact the respective plugin provider to exercise this right. Through the plugins, we offer you the opportunity to interact with social networks and other users, so that we can improve our offer and make it more interesting for you as a user.
The legal basis for the use of the plugins is Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR.
Data is transferred regardless of whether you have an account with the plugin provider and are logged in there. If you are logged in to the plugin provider, your data collected with us will be directly assigned to your existing account with the plugin provider. If you activate the button and, for example, link the page, the plugin provider also stores this information in your user account and shares it publicly with your contacts. We recommend that you log out regularly after using a social network, especially before activating the button, as this way you can avoid being assigned to your profile with the plugin provider.
For more information on the purpose and scope of data collection and its processing by the plugin provider, please refer to the privacy policies of these providers as follows:
a) Facebook Inc., 1601 S California Ave, Palo Alto, California 94304, USA; http://www.facebook.com/policy.php;
