This data protection notice provides you with information on how information collected during your visit to this website is handled. Personal data is all data that can be related to you personally, e.g. name, address, e-mail addresses and user behavior. For the sake of simplicity, both male and female users are referred to as “users” in the following.

(2) For the service provider and controller within the meaning of data protection law, please refer to the company and contact details in the legal notice of our website www.dievision.de.

2. collection of personal data for informational use

(1) Personal data is information that can be used to identify a person, such as name and e-mail address, but also surfing behavior on the Internet. If you only use the website for information purposes, i.e. if you do not log in to use the website, register or otherwise provide us with information, we do not collect any personal data, with the exception of the data that your browser transmits to enable you to visit the website (so-called log files, legal basis Art. 6 (1) 1 f) GDPR). Log files are technically necessary for us so that the website you have called up can be sent to your computer and displayed to you. They are deleted within 7 days of accessing the website. Log files are:

IP address
Date and time of the request
Time zone difference to Greenwich Mean Time (GMT)
Content of the request (specific page)
Access status/HTTP status code
Amount of data transferred in each case
Website from which the request comes
Browser
Operating system and its interface
Language and version of the browser software.
(2) The log files are also used for statistical evaluations and to improve the website (legal basis Art. 6 (1) 1 f) GDPR). In this way, we can detect possible errors such as incorrect links. In connection with your use of the website, the IP address of the computer you are using is recorded, among other things. Under certain circumstances, it may be possible to identify users of the website via the IP address. However, we do not evaluate the IP addresses recorded in accordance with paragraph (1) for this purpose. The IP addresses are evaluated solely on a statistical basis in anonymized form.

3. use of functions on our website

(1) In addition to the purely informational use of our website, we offer various services that you can use if you are interested. To do so, you must generally provide additional personal data that we use to provide the respective service. If additional voluntary information is possible, it is marked accordingly.

(2) Personal data is only collected if you provide it to us voluntarily when filling out contact forms or sending e-mails, when ordering products or services, making inquiries or requesting material. In this case, we collect the information that comes about when you contact us. This includes in particular names and transmitted contact data, date and reason for contacting us. Data that you send us using a contact form is stored on our web server. This data sent by you via contact forms is also sent to us by email. It is therefore stored on our mail servers in the same way as the data that you send us directly by e- mail.

We will retain the data you provide on the contact form or by email until you request its deletion, revoke your consent for its storage, or the purpose or obligation for its storage no longer pertains (e.g. after fulfilling your request). Mandatory statutory provisions – in particular statutory retention periods – remain unaffected.

We will only use the personal data collected from you for the purpose of providing you with the requested products or services (legal basis Art. 6 (1) 1 b) GDPR), or for other purposes for which you have given your consent (legal basis Art. 6 (1) 1 a) GDPR) and which are described in this privacy policy. Your consent, for example for the setting of cookies by third-party providers or for web tracking by them, can also be given in the appropriate technical settings of your browser.

(3) When you contact us, your data will be stored for the duration of the statutory retention obligations (ten years upon conclusion of the contract, otherwise six years) for the purpose of processing the inquiry and in the event that follow-up questions arise (legal basis Art. 6 (1) 1 c) GDPR) and then deleted in accordance with Section 4 (1) of this data protection declaration.

4. use of our fee-based offer, disclosure of data

(1) If you use our fee-based offers and would like to order something, it is necessary for the conclusion of the contract that you provide your personal data, which we need to process your order. Mandatory information required for the processing of contracts is marked separately, further information is voluntary. We process the data you provide to process your order (legal basis Art. 6 (1) 1 b) GDPR). The address, payment and order data will be stored after completion of the contract for the duration of the tax and commercial law

retention obligations of ten years (legal basis Art. 6 (1) 1 c) GDPR) and then deleted, unless you have consented to further storage or the further processing of the data for the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims or advertising contact (see also section 5 (1) of this privacy policy) is required. We check the latter at the end of the third calendar year beginning with the calendar year following the initial storage.

(2) In order to process your order, we may pass on your data to our house bank, as well as to logistics and payment service providers selected by you (legal basis Art. 6 (1) 1 b) GDPR). Our service providers may only process or use your data for the purpose for which it was transmitted to them if necessary. The data is accessible to you at all times. Insofar as data is passed on to external service providers, we have taken technical and organizational measures to ensure that the data protection regulations are observed. We may also pass on personal data for debt collection purposes (legal basis Art. 6 (1) 1 f) GDPR).

(3) If we make advance payments in connection with an order, e.g. for partial payments or purchases on account, we may have the identity and creditworthiness of customers checked by a service provider, e.g. a credit agency (legal basis Art. 6 (1) 1 f) GDPR). Furthermore, we do not rule out the possibility of transmitting anonymized usage data for market research purposes.

(4) We would like to point out that we are entitled to provide information about data in individual cases by order of the competent authority, insofar as this is necessary for the purposes of criminal prosecution, for averting danger by the police authorities of the federal states, for fulfilling the statutory tasks of the federal and state constitutional protection authorities, the Federal Intelligence Service or the Military Counter-Intelligence Service or for enforcing intellectual property rights (legal basis Art. 6 (1) 1 c) GDPR).

(5) There is no intention to transfer your data to a third country or an international organization. For the possibility of web tracking or social media providers in the USA becoming aware of your data, please refer to sections 9 to 12 of this privacy policy.

5. advertising note to our customers

After the sale of a product or service, we reserve the right to send you advertising for our offers from the agency sector at the e-mail address you have provided. The same applies to the use of your address data for the advertising of our own offers and the recommendation advertising for goods and services offered by third parties in this area by letter. The legal basis is Art. 6 (1) 1 f) and Recital (47) GDPR. You have the right to object to advertising at any time (see section 6 (1) of this declaration).

6. right of objection

(1) You can object to the processing of your personal data for advertising purposes (legal basis Art. 6 (1) 1 f) and Recital (47) GDPR) at any time with effect for the future. This also applies to a related evaluation of certain characteristics such as in a data analysis. An objection to advertising can be made informally, for example via a link in the newsletter or directly to us using the contact details given in the legal notice.

(2) You also have the right to object, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to processing for other purposes based on a balancing of interests (Art. 6 (1) 1 f) GDPR). This may be the case if, in particular, the processing is not necessary for the performance of a contract with you. When exercising such an objection, we ask you to explain the reasons why we should not process your personal data as we have done. In the event of your justified objection, we will examine the situation and will either discontinue or adapt the data processing or point out to you our compelling reasons worthy of protection on the basis of which we will continue the processing.

7. data security

(1) We take state-of-the-art precautions to protect your data from loss, destruction, falsification, manipulation and unauthorized access. Insofar as your data is collected and recorded by us, it is stored on specially protected servers. These are protected by technical and organizational measures against loss, destruction, access, modification or dissemination of your data by unauthorized persons. Access to your data is only possible for a few authorized persons. These persons are responsible for the technical, commercial or editorial support of the servers. All our employees are bound to confidentiality.

(2) We have commissioned a service provider for the technical operation (hosting) of the website. This service provider carries out the data processing on our behalf. The collection, processing and use of your data by the service provider takes place exclusively in accordance with our instructions. The statements in this privacy policy also apply to the service provider in the same way.

8. cookies

(1) Cookies are stored on your computer when you use the website. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your hard disk and assigned to the browser you are using and through which certain information flows to the body that sets the cookie (in this case us). Cookies cannot execute programs or transmit viruses to your computer. They are used to make the website more user-friendly and effective overall. We can use cookies, for example, to identify you for subsequent visits if you have an account with us. Otherwise you would have to log in again for each visit.

(2) This website uses cookies to the following extent:

Transient cookies (temporary use)
Persistent cookies (time-limited use)
Third-party cookies (from third-party providers according to separate information).

(3) Transient cookies (legal basis Art. 6 (1) 1 f) GDPR) are automatically deleted when you close the browser. These include session cookies in particular. These store a so-called session ID, with which various requests from your browser can be assigned to the joint session. This allows your computer to be recognized when you return to the website. The session cookies are deleted when you close the browser.

(4) Persistent cookies are used exclusively in connection with the web analysis services we use (legal basis Art. 6 (1) 1 f) GDPR) and are only used for as long as the purpose requires; they have a maximum lifespan of two years. You can delete the cookies from your computer’s hard disk at any time using your browser’s data protection functions. In this case, the functions and user- friendliness of the website may be restricted.

(5) Cookies that are not technically necessary for the provision of our service are only set with your consent, which you can revoke at any time (legal basis Art. 6 (1) 1 a) GDPR). By continuing to use the website with the appropriate browser settings, you consent to the use of cookies in the context of this privacy policy. You can give us your consent by setting your browser, for example by specifying that you will be informed about the setting of cookies and that they will only be accepted if you expressly confirm this. You can also specify that you allow the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general. You can configure your browser settings according to your wishes and, for example, control the acceptance or rejection of third-party cookies or all cookies. However, we would like to point out that you may then not be able to use all the functions of this website.

9. google analytics

(1) This website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service of Google Inc, 1600 Amphitheater Parkway, Mountainview, California 94043, USA (“Google”). Google Analytics uses cookies, which are text files placed on your computer, to help the website analyze how users use the site (for more information, see section 8 of this privacy policy). The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website (including your IP address) is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. However, if IP anonymization is activated on this website, your IP address will be shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and truncated there. Google will use this information on behalf of the operator of this website for the purpose of 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. Google may also transfer this information to third parties where required to do so by law, or where such third parties process the information on Google’s behalf.

(2) The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.

(3) Cookies are only stored if your Internet access software is set accordingly. You can therefore prevent the storage of cookies by setting your browser accordingly; however, we would like to point out that in this case you may not be able to use all the functions of this website to their full extent.

(4) You can also prevent the collection of data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) and the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plug-in provided by Google at the following link: http://tools.google.com/ dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de.

(5) This website uses Google Analytics with the extension “_anonymizeIp()”. This means that IP addresses are further processed in abbreviated form, so that they cannot be linked to a specific person. If the data collected about you is personally identifiable, it is immediately excluded and the personal data is deleted immediately.

(6) We use Google Analytics to analyze and regularly improve the use of our website. We can use the statistics obtained to improve our offer and make it more interesting for you as a user. For the exceptional cases in which personal data is transferred to the USA, Google has submitted to the EU-US Privacy Shield, https://www.privacyshield.gov/EU-US-Framework. The legal basis for the use of Google Analytics is Art. 6 (1) 1 f) GDPR.

(7) Information from the third-party provider: Google Dublin, Google Ireland Ltd, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, Fax: +353 (1) 436 1001. Terms of use: https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/terms/regional.html, overview of data protection: http://www.google.com/intl/de/analytics/learn/ privacy.html, as well as the privacy policy: https://www.google.de/intl/de/ policies/privacy/.

10. google tag manager

(1) This website uses the Google Tag Manager from Google (Google LLC., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043, USA). For users who have their habitual residence in the European Economic Area or Switzerland, Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, EU is the responsible controller for Google services. Google Ireland Limited is therefore the company affiliated with Google LLC whose services are integrated and must also comply with the GDPR.

(2) The Google Tag Manager is a solution with which we can manage so-called tags via an interface. The tool triggers other tags, which in turn collect data within the scope of this privacy policy. The Google Tag Manager does not set its own cookies and does not access this data. The anonymization of the IP address is carried out by the Google Tag Manager via an internal setting. It is not visible in the source code of this page. Further information can be found there:

https://marketingplatform.google.com/intl/de/about/tag-manager/

https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de&gl=de

The legal basis for the use of the procedure is Art. 6 (1) 1 f) GDPR.

11. web tracking through the use of Facebook Custom Audience via pixels

(1) Within our website (Italy), we use the “Facebook Custom Audience via Pixel” process of Facebook Inc, 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA (“Facebook”). With the help of this pixel, the behavior of users can be tracked, even across numerous websites, after they have been redirected to our website by clicking on a Facebook ad. This allows us to record the effectiveness of Facebook ads for statistical and market research purposes. The data collected in this way is anonymous to us, i.e. we do not see the personal data of individual users. However, this data is stored and processed by Facebook, and we will inform you of this to the best of our knowledge. Facebook can link this data to your Facebook account and also use it for its own advertising purposes, in particular those based on profiling, in accordance with the Facebook Data Policy https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/. You have the option of prohibiting Facebook and its partners from placing advertisements. You can edit the settings for Facebook ads at the following link: https://www.facebook.com/ads/website_custom_audiences/.

(2) The third-party provider is registered under the EU-US Privacy Shield data transfer agreement: https://www.privacyshield.gov/list. The legal basis for the use of the procedure is Art. 6 (1) 1 f) GDPR.

12. web tracking through the use of Twitter conversion tracking for websites via website tag

(1) Within our website, we use the “Conversion Tracking for Websites via Website Tag” process of Twitter, Inc., 1355 Market Street, Suite 900, San Francisco, California 94103, USA (“Twitter”). With the help of this website tag (i.e. pixel) set on our pages, the behavior of users can be tracked, even across numerous websites, after they have seen or clicked on a Twitter advertisement. This allows us to record the effectiveness of Twitter ads for statistical and market research purposes. The data collected in this way is anonymous to us, so we cannot draw any conclusions about the identity of individual users. However, this data is stored and processed by Twitter, and we will inform you of this to the best of our knowledge. By using Twitter and the “Re-Tweet” function, Twitter can link this data, such as the websites you visit, to your Twitter account, make it known to other users and also use it for its own advertising purposes in accordance with the Twitter privacy policy (https:// twitter.com/de/privacy). Twitter and its advertising partners can thus place profiling-based advertisements on and off Twitter. You have the option of changing your data protection settings and consent in your Twitter account at http://twitter.com/account/settings.

13. use of social media plug-ins

(1) We currently use the following social media plug-ins: Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, LinkedIn and Xing. We use the so-called two-click solution. This means that when you visit our website, no personal data is initially passed on to the providers of the plug-ins. You can recognize the provider of the plug- in by the marking on the box above its initial letter or the logo. We give you the option of communicating directly with the provider of the plug-in via the button. Only if you click on the marked field and thereby activate it will the plug-in provider receive the information that you have accessed the corresponding website of our online offering. In addition, the log files mentioned under section 2 (1) of this declaration are transmitted. In the case of Facebook and XING, according to the provider in Germany, the IP address is anonymized immediately after collection. By activating the plug-in, your personal data is therefore transmitted to the respective plug-in provider and stored there (for US providers in the USA). As the plug-in provider collects data in particular via cookies, we recommend that you delete all cookies via your browser’s security settings before clicking on the grayed-out box.

(2) We have no influence on the data collected and data processing procedures, nor are we aware of the full scope of data collection, the purposes of processing or the storage periods. We also have no information on the deletion of the data collected by the plug-in provider.

(3) The plug-in provider stores the data collected about you as usage profiles and uses these for the purposes of advertising, market research and/or the needs-based design of its website. Such an evaluation is carried out in particular (even for users who are not logged in) to display needs-based advertising and to inform other users of the social network about your activities on our website. You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles, whereby you must contact the respective plug-in provider to exercise this right. We offer you the opportunity to interact with the social networks and other users via the plug-ins 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 plug-ins is Art. 6 (1) 1 f) GDPR.

(4) Data is transferred regardless of whether you have an account with the plug-in provider and are logged in there. If you are logged in with the plug-in provider, your data collected by us will be assigned directly to your existing account with the plug-in provider. If you click the activated button and, for example, link the page, the plug-in provider also saves 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, but especially before activating the button, as this will prevent you from being assigned to your profile with the plug-in provider.

(5) Further information on the purpose and scope of data collection and its processing by the plug-in provider can be found in the data protection declarations of these providers provided below. There you will also find further information on your rights in this regard and setting options to protect your privacy.(6) Addresses of the respective providers and URL with their data protection notices:

14. WP Statistics
