If the initial contact occurs for other reasons, this data processing takes place on the basis of Article 6(1)(f) GDPR for the purposes of our overriding, legitimate interest in handling and responding to your request. In this case, on grounds relating to your particular situation, you have the right to object at any time to this processing of personal data concerning you and carried out on the basis of Article 6(1)(f) GDPR.

You can revoke your consent at any time without affecting the legality of the processing carried out on the basis of your consent until the revocation.

If specific categories of personal data within the meaning of Article 9(1) GDPR are requested from the applicants, such as information on the degree of severe disability, this is carried out on the basis of Article 9(2)(b) GDPR, so that we can exercise the rights arising from labor law and the social security and social protection legislation and fulfill our obligations in this regard.

The data processing serves the purpose of analyzing this website and its visitors as well as for marketing and advertising purposes. Google will use the information obtained on behalf of the operator of this website for evaluating your use of the website, compiling reports on website activity, and providing other services relating to website activity and internet usage to the website operator. This includes the following information: IP address, date and time of page view, click path, browser and device information, pages visited, referrer URL, location data, purchase activity.

Use of Meta Pixel

We use Meta Pixel from Meta Platforms Ireland Limited (4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland; "Meta") on our website.

Meta and we are jointly responsible for the collection of your data and the transfer of this data to Meta when the service is integrated. The basis for this is an agreement between us and Meta on the joint processing of personal data, in which the respective responsibilities are defined. The agreement is available at https://de-de.facebook.com/legal/terms/businesstools. According to this agreement, we are responsible in particular for the fulfilment of the information obligations in accordance with Arts. 13 and 14 GDPR, for compliance with the security requirements of Article 32 GDPR with regard to the correct technical implementation and configuration of the service, and for compliance with the obligations in accordance with Arts. 33 and 34 GDPR, insofar as a violation of the protection of personal data affects our obligations under the agreement on joint processing. Meta is responsible for enabling the rights of the data subject in accordance with Arts. 15–20 GDPR, for complying with the security requirements of Article 32 GDPR with regard to the security of the service, and for complying with the obligations of Arts. 33 and 34 GDPR, insofar as a breach of personal data protection concerns Meta's obligations under the joint processing agreement.

The application serves to address the visitor to the website with interest-related advertising on the social networks Facebook and Instagram. We have implemented Meta’s remarketing tag on our website for this purpose. This tag sets up a direct connection to Meta’s servers when you visit our website. This informs the Meta server which of our web pages you have visited. Meta assigns this information to your personal Facebook and/or Instagram user account. When you visit the social networks Facebook or Instagram, you will then be shown personalised, interest-related ads.

The application also serves the purpose of creating conversion statistics. This allows us to find out the total number of users who have clicked our adverts and were forwarded to a page equipped with a conversion tracking tag as well as what actions are taken after being redirected to this website. However, they do not receive any information which could be used to personally identify users.

Your data may be transmitted to the USA. For the USA, there is an adequacy decision of the EU Commission, the Trans-Atlantic Data Privacy Framework (TADPF). Meta has certified itself in accordance with the TADPF and has thus undertaken to comply with European data protection principles.

The processing of your personal data is carried out with your consent on the basis of Article 6(1)(a) GDPR. You can withdraw your consent at any time without affecting the legality of the processing carried out with your consent up to the withdrawal.

For this purpose, you can deactivate the remarketing function “Custom Audiences”. You can find more detailed information on Meta’s collection and use of data and your associated rights and options for protecting your privacy in Meta’s privacy policy: https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/

Use of Google Ads conversion tracking

Our website uses the online marketing program "Google Ads", including conversion tracking (evaluation of user actions). Google conversion tracking is a service operated by Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland; "Google").

If you click on adverts placed by Google, a cookie is placed on your computer for conversion tracking. These cookies have limited validity, do not contain any personal data and thus cannot be used for personal identification. If you visit certain pages on our website and the cookie has not yet expired, we and Google can recognise that you have clicked on the advert and were forwarded to this page. Every Google Ads customer receives a different cookie. It is therefore not possible to track cookies relating to the websites of Ads customers.

The information collected using the conversion cookie serves the purpose of producing conversion statistics. This allows us to find out the total number of users who have clicked on our adverts and were forwarded to a page equipped with a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not receive any information with which could be used to personally identify users. We use the extended implementation of the consent mode (Advanced Consent Mode). In this case, user data is transmitted to Google in the form of "pings" even if consent has not been granted. These pings may contain the following information, among others: IP address to derive the IP country (the IP address is not logged), date and time of the page view, URL of the pages visited, user agent, referrer URL (website from which you accessed our website) or information about the triggering of website events such as a conversion. On the basis of this information, Google models user data in order to be able to carry out a comprehensive usage analysis despite the refusal of consent.

Your data may be transmitted to Google LLC servers in the USA. For the USA, there is an adequacy decision of the EU Commission, the Trans-Atlantic Data Privacy Framework (TADPF). Google has certified itself in accordance with the TADPF and has thus undertaken to comply with European data protection principles.

The use of cookies or comparable technologies is carried out with your consent on the basis of Article 25(1) TDDDG in conjunction with Article 6(1)(a) GDPR. The processing of your personal data is carried out with your consent on the basis of Article 6(1)(a) GDPR. You can withdraw your consent at any time without affecting the legality of the processing carried out with your consent up to the withdrawal.

Use of Microsoft Advertising

Our website uses Microsoft Advertising from Microsoft Corporation (Microsoft Corporation, One Microsoft Way, Redmond, WA 98052-6399, USA; "Microsoft").

The processing of data serves the purposes of marketing and advertising and the purpose of measuring the success of the advertising measures (conversion tracking). This allows us to find out the total number of users who have clicked on our adverts and were forwarded to a page equipped with a conversion tracking tag. It is, however, not possible to identify this user personally through this process. Microsoft Advertising uses technology such as cookies and tracking pixels which make it possible to analyse your use of the website. If you click on adverts placed by Microsoft Advertising, a cookie is placed on your computer for conversion tracking. This cookie has limited validity and cannot be used for personal identification. If you visit certain pages on our website and the cookie has not yet expired, we and Microsoft can recognise that you have clicked on the advert and were forwarded to this page. In this process the following information, inter alia, can be collected: IP address, identifiers (indicators) assigned by Microsoft, information on the browser and device you are using, Referrer URL (website via which you accessed our website), URL of our website.

Your data may be transmitted to the USA. For the USA, there is an adequacy decision of the EU Commission, the Trans-Atlantic Data Privacy Framework (TADPF). Microsoft has certified itself in accordance with the TADPF and has thus undertaken to comply with European data protection principles.

The use of cookies or comparable technologies is carried out with your consent on the basis of Article 25(1) TDDDG in conjunction with Article 6(1)(a) GDPR. The processing of your personal data is carried out with your consent on the basis of Article 6(1)(a) GDPR.

Use of the Pinterest tag

We use the Pinterest tag of Pinterest Europe Limited (Palmerston House, 2nd, Fenian Street, Floor, Dublin 2, Ireland "Pinterest") on our website.

The application serves to address the visitor to the website with interest-related advertising on the social network Pinterest. We have implemented Pinterest’s conversion tag on our website for this purpose. This tag sets up a direct connection to Pinterest’s servers when you visit our website. This informs the Pinterest server which of our web pages you have visited. Pinterest associates this information with your personal Pinterest user account if you are logged into the social network. When you visit Pinterest, you will then be shown personalised, interest-related Pinterest ads. If you reach our website via a Pin on the Pinterest social network, a cookie for conversion tracking is placed on your computer. These cookies have limited validity, do not contain any personal data and thus cannot be used for personal identification. If you visit certain pages on our site and the cookie has not expired, we and Pinterest may recognise that you have clicked the Pin and been directed to that page. The information collected using the conversion cookie serves the purpose of producing conversion statistics and thereby optimising our website. These can involve the processing of, among other things, the following information: Total number of users who clicked one of our Pins and were redirected to our website, subpages visited on our website (e.g. category or product pages), search queries on our website, your shopping cart contents, completed transactions.

Your data may be transmitted to the USA. For the USA, there is an adequacy decision of the EU Commission, the Trans-Atlantic Data Privacy Framework (TADPF). Pinterest is not certified under the TAPF. The data transfer takes place, among other things, on the basis of standard contractual clauses as suitable guarantees for the protection of personal data, which can be viewed at: https://commission.europa.eu/law/law-topic/data-protection/international-dimension-data-protection/standard-contractual-clauses-scc_en.

The use of cookies or comparable technologies is carried out with your consent on the basis of Article 25(1) TDDDG in conjunction with Article 6(1)(a) GDPR. The processing of your personal data is carried out with your consent on the basis of Article 6(1)(a) GDPR. You can withdraw your consent at any time without affecting the legality of the processing carried out with your consent up to the withdrawal.
