3. Data Collection on Our Website
Cookies
Some of the web pages on this site use so-called cookies. Cookies do not harm your computer and do not contain viruses. Cookies are used to make our website more user-friendly, effective, and secure. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer and saved by your browser.
Most of the cookies we use are so-called “session cookies.” They are automatically deleted at the end of your visit. Other cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them. These cookies enable us to recognize your browser the next time you visit.
You can configure your browser to notify you when cookies are set and to allow cookies only on a case-by-case basis, to block the acceptance of cookies in specific cases or generally, and to enable the automatic deletion of cookies when you close your browser. Disabling cookies may limit the functionality of this website.
Cookies that are necessary for carrying out the electronic communication process or for providing specific functions you have requested (e.g., the shopping cart function) are stored pursuant to Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing cookies to ensure the technically error-free and optimized provision of its services. To the extent that other cookies (e.g., cookies used to analyze your browsing behavior) are stored, they are addressed separately in this Privacy Policy.
Server Log Files
The website provider automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. These include:
Browser type and browser version
Operating system used
Referrer URL
Hostname of the accessing computer
Time of the server request
IP address
This data is not merged with other data sources.
The legal basis for data processing is Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR, which permits the processing of data for the performance of a contract or pre-contractual measures.
Contact Form
If you submit inquiries to us via the contact form, we will store the information you provide in the form—including the contact details you enter there—for the purpose of processing your inquiry and in case of follow-up questions. We will not share this data without your consent.
The processing of the data entered into the contact form is therefore based exclusively on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). You may revoke this consent at any time. To do so, simply send us an informal email. The lawfulness of the data processing operations carried out prior to revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.
The data you enter in the contact form will remain with us until you request that we delete it, revoke your consent to its storage, or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies (e.g., after your inquiry has been fully processed). Mandatory legal provisions—in particular retention periods—remain unaffected.
4. Analytics Tools and Advertising
Google Analytics
This website uses features of the web analytics service Google Analytics. The provider is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.
Google Analytics uses so-called “cookies.” These are text files that are stored on your computer and enable an analysis of your use of the website. The information generated by the cookie regarding your use of this website is generally transmitted to a Google server in the United States and stored there.
Google Analytics cookies are stored on the basis of Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in analyzing user behavior in order to optimize both its website and its advertising.
IP Anonymization
We have enabled the IP anonymization feature on this website. As a result, Google truncates your IP address within member states of the European Union or in other signatory states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area before transmitting it to the United States. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transmitted to a Google server in the United States and truncated there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity, and to provide other services related to website and internet usage to the website operator. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other data held by Google.
Browser Plugin
You can prevent the storage of cookies by adjusting your browser settings accordingly; however, please note that in this case, you may not be able to use all features of this website to their full extent. You can also prevent Google from collecting the data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address), as well as from processing this data, by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de.
Objection to Data Collection
You can prevent Google Analytics from collecting your data by clicking the following link. An opt-out cookie will be set to prevent the collection of your data during future visits to this website: [google_analytics_optout]Disable Google Analytics.[/google_analytics_optout]

https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245?hl=de.
Data Processing on Behalf of a Client
We have entered into a data processing agreement with Google and fully comply with the strict requirements of the German data protection authorities when using Google Analytics.
Demographic Features in Google Analytics
This website uses the “demographic features” function of Google Analytics. This allows reports to be generated that contain information about the age, gender, and interests of site visitors. This data is derived from Google’s interest-based advertising as well as from visitor data provided by third parties. This data cannot be attributed to any specific individual. You can disable this feature at any time via the ad settings in your Google Account or generally prevent Google Analytics from collecting your data as described in the section “Objecting to Data Collection.”
5. Plugins and Tools
EMBEDDED CONTENT FROM OTHER WEBSITES
Posts on this website may contain embedded content (e.g., videos, images, posts, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves exactly as if visitors had visited the other website.
These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking services, and record your interaction with this embedded content—including your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
YouTube
Our website uses plugins from YouTube, a site operated by Google. The site is operated by YouTube, LLC, 901 Cherry Ave., San Bruno, CA 94066, USA.
When you visit one of our pages equipped with a YouTube plugin, a connection is established to YouTube’s servers. In the process, the YouTube server is informed which of our pages you have visited.
If you are logged into your YouTube account, you allow YouTube to associate your browsing behavior directly with your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account.
We use YouTube to ensure an appealing presentation of our online offerings. This constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR.
For more information on how user data is handled, please see YouTube’s Privacy Policy at:
https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy.
jameda Seals and Widgets
Our website incorporates seals or widgets from jameda GmbH, St. Cajetan-Straße 41, 81669 Munich. A widget is a small window that displays changing information. Our seal works in a similar way; that is, it does not always look the same, but the display changes regularly. Although the corresponding content is displayed on our website, it is retrieved from the jameda servers at that moment. This is the only way to ensure that the most up-to-date content is always shown, especially the current rating. To do this, a data connection must be established from this website to jameda, and jameda receives certain technical data (date and time of the visit; the page from which the request is made; Internet Protocol (IP) address used; browser type and version; device type; operating system; and similar technical information) necessary to deliver the content. However, this data is used solely for the purpose of providing the content and is not stored or used for any other purpose.
By integrating this feature, we pursue the purpose and legitimate interest of displaying up-to-date and accurate content on our website. The legal basis is Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. We do not store the aforementioned data as a result of this integration. For more information on data processing by jameda, please refer to the privacy policy at https://www.jameda.de/jameda/datenschutz.php.
We have integrated components from Facebook into this website. We have a legitimate interest in processing this data.
The operator of Facebook is Facebook, Inc., 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA. If a data subject resides outside the United States or Canada, the controller responsible for the processing of personal data is Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland.
Each time a user accesses one of the individual pages of this website on which a Facebook component (Facebook plug-in) has been integrated, the web browser on the data subject’s computer is automatically prompted by the respective Facebook component to download a representation of that Facebook component from Facebook. A complete overview of all Facebook plug-ins is available at https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/?locale=de_DE. As part of this technical process, Facebook learns which specific subpage of our website the data subject is visiting.
If the data subject is logged into Facebook at the same time, Facebook recognizes which specific subpage of our website the data subject is visiting each time the data subject accesses our website and throughout the entire duration of their visit to our website. This information is collected by the Facebook component and assigned by Facebook to the data subject’s respective Facebook account. If the data subject clicks on one of the Facebook buttons integrated into our website—for example, the “Like” button—or posts a comment, Facebook associates this information with the data subject’s personal Facebook user account and stores this personal data.
Facebook receives information via the Facebook component that the data subject has visited our website whenever the data subject is logged into Facebook at the same time as accessing our website; this occurs regardless of whether the data subject clicks on the Facebook component or not. If the data subject does not wish for this information to be transmitted to Facebook, they can prevent the transmission by logging out of their Facebook account before visiting our website.
The Data Policy published by Facebook, which is available at https://de-de.facebook.com/about/privacy/, provides information about Facebook’s collection, processing, and use of personal data. It also explains the settings options Facebook offers to protect the data subject’s privacy. In addition, various applications are available that allow users to prevent data from being transmitted to Facebook. Data subjects may use such applications to prevent data from being transmitted to Facebook.
As an integral part of the user agreement, Facebook provides the operators of so-called fan pages with the “Facebook Insights” feature. This allows the Bamberg Social Foundation to receive anonymized statistical data about the users of the fan page. This data is collected using cookies. These cookies contain a unique user code that remains active for two years and is stored on the user’s device.
Facebook collects and processes the user code when the fan page is accessed and may link it to the user’s login information. Facebook uses the data for personalized advertising and other purposes unknown to the Bamberg Social Foundation. The Bamberg Social Foundation does not use the data for advertising purposes.
Users are solely responsible for their public use of the “Comment” and “Like” features.
Our website uses features provided by the LinkedIn network. The provider is LinkedIn Corporation, 2029 Stierlin Court, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.
Every time you access one of our pages that contains LinkedIn features, a connection is established with LinkedIn’s servers. LinkedIn is notified that you have visited our website using your IP address. If you click the LinkedIn “Recommend” button while logged into your LinkedIn account, LinkedIn can associate your visit to our website with you and your user account. Please note that, as the provider of this website, we have no knowledge of the content of the data transmitted or how it is used by LinkedIn.
The use of the LinkedIn plugin is based on Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in achieving the widest possible visibility on social media.
X (formerly Twitter)
This website incorporates features of the X service (formerly Twitter). These features are provided by the parent company X Corp., 1355 Market Street, Suite 900, San Francisco, CA 94103, USA.
Twitter International Unlimited Company, One Cumberland Place, Fenian Street, Dublin 2, D02 AX07, Ireland, is responsible for data processing for individuals residing outside the United States. When the social media element is active, a direct connection is established between your device and the X server. As a result, X (formerly Twitter) receives information about your visit to this website. By using X (formerly Twitter) and the “Retweet” or “Repost” function, the websites you visit are linked to your X (formerly Twitter) account and disclosed to other users. Please note that, as the provider of these pages, we have no knowledge of the content of the transmitted data or its use by X (formerly Twitter). For more information on this, please see X’s (formerly Twitter’s) privacy policy at:
https://twitter.com/de/privacy.
Use of this service is based on your consent pursuant to Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR and Section 25(1) of the TTDSG. You may withdraw your consent at any time.
Data transfers to the United States are based on the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses.
Details can be found here:
