We are very pleased about your interest in our company. Data protection has a particularly high priority for the management of Geoplex GIS GmbH. The use of the internet pages of Geoplex GIS GmbH is generally possible without any indication of personal data. However, if a data subject wishes to make use of special services of our company via our website, the processing of personal data could become necessary. If the processing of personal data is necessary and there is no legal basis for such processing, we generally obtain the consent of the data subject.<\/p>\n
The processing of personal data, for example the name, address, e-mail address or telephone number of a data subject, is always carried out in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation and in compliance with the country-specific data protection regulations applicable to Geoplex GIS GmbH. By means of this data protection declaration, our company would like to inform the public about the type, scope and purpose of the personal data we collect, use and process. Furthermore, data subjects are informed of their rights by means of this data protection declaration.<\/p>\n
As the controller responsible for processing, Geoplex GIS GmbH has implemented numerous technical and organizational measures to ensure the most complete protection possible of personal data processed through this website. Nevertheless, internet-based data transmissions can generally have security gaps, so absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, every data subject is free to transmit personal data to us by alternative means, for example by telephone.<\/p>\n
The privacy policy of Geoplex GIS GmbH is based on the terms used by the European legislator when adopting the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Our privacy policy should be easy to read and understand both for the general public as well as for our customers and business partners. To ensure this, we would like to explain the terminology used in advance.<\/p>\n
In this privacy policy, we use, among others, the following terms:<\/p>\n
a) Personal data
Personal data means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (hereinafter \u201cdata subject\u201d). An identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier, or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural, or social identity of that natural person.<\/p>\n
b) Data subject
Data subject is any identified or identifiable natural person whose personal data is processed by the controller responsible for the processing.<\/p>\n
c) Processing
Processing is any operation or set of operations which is performed on personal data, whether or not by automated means, such as collection, recording, organization, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure, or destruction.<\/p>\n
d) Restriction of processing
Restriction of processing means the marking of stored personal data with the aim of limiting their processing in the future.<\/p>\n
e) Profiling
Profiling means any form of automated processing of personal data consisting of the use of personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to analyze or predict aspects concerning that natural person\u2019s performance at work, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behavior, location, or movements.<\/p>\n
f) Pseudonymization
Pseudonymization means the processing of personal data in such a manner that the personal data can no longer be attributed to a specific data subject without the use of additional information, provided that such additional information is kept separately and subject to technical and organizational measures to ensure that the personal data are not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.<\/p>\n
g) Controller or controller responsible for the processing
Controller or controller responsible for the processing is the natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data. Where the purposes and means of such processing are determined by Union or Member State law, the controller or the specific criteria for its nomination may be provided for by Union or Member State law.<\/p>\n
h) Processor
Processor is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which processes personal data on behalf of the controller.<\/p>\n
i) Recipient
Recipient is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or another body, to which personal data are disclosed, whether a third party or not. However, public authorities which may receive personal data in the framework of a particular inquiry in accordance with Union or Member State law shall not be regarded as recipients.<\/p>\n
j) Third party
Third party is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or body other than the data subject, the controller, the processor and persons who, under the direct authority of the controller or processor, are authorized to process personal data.<\/p>\n
k) Consent
Consent of the data subject is any freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous indication of the data subject\u2019s wishes by which he or she, by a statement or by a clear affirmative action, signifies agreement to the processing of personal data relating to him or her.<\/p>\n
2. Name and Address of the Controller<\/p>\n
The controller within the meaning of the General Data Protection Regulation, other data protection laws applicable in the Member States of the European Union, and other provisions related to data protection is:<\/p>\n
Geoplex GIS GmbH
Bohmter Stra\u00dfe 12
49074 Osnabr\u00fcck
Germany<\/p>\n

The internet pages of Geoplex GIS GmbH use cookies. Cookies are text files that are placed and stored on a computer system via an internet browser.<\/p>\n
Many internet sites and servers use cookies. Many cookies contain what is called a cookie ID. A cookie ID is a unique identifier of the cookie. It consists of a string of characters through which internet pages and servers can be assigned to the specific internet browser in which the cookie was stored. This allows the visited internet pages and servers to distinguish the individual browser of the data subject from other internet browsers that contain different cookies. A particular internet browser can be recognized and identified using the unique cookie ID.<\/p>\n
Through the use of cookies, Geoplex GIS GmbH can provide users of this website with more user-friendly services that would not be possible without the cookie setting.<\/p>\n
By means of a cookie, the information and offers on our website can be optimized with the user in mind. As mentioned, cookies enable us to recognize the users of our website. The purpose of this recognition is to make it easier for users to utilize our website. For example, the user of a website that uses cookies does not have to re-enter their login data each time they visit the website, because this is taken over by the website and the cookie stored on the user\u2019s computer system. Another example is the cookie of an online shop\u2019s shopping cart. The online shop remembers the items that a customer has placed in the virtual shopping cart via a cookie.<\/p>\n
The data subject may, at any time, prevent the setting of cookies by our website through a corresponding setting of the internet browser used, and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Furthermore, cookies already set may be deleted at any time via an internet browser or other software programs. This is possible in all common internet browsers. If the data subject deactivates the setting of cookies in the internet browser used, not all functions of our website may be fully usable.<\/p>\n
The website of Geoplex GIS GmbH collects a series of general data and information each time the website is accessed by a data subject or an automated system. These general data and information are stored in the server\u2019s log files. The data that may be collected include:<\/p>\n
When using these general data and information, Geoplex GIS GmbH does not draw any conclusions about the data subject. Instead, this information is needed to (1) deliver the content of our website correctly, (2) optimize the content of our website and the advertising for it, (3) ensure the long-term functionality of our information technology systems and the technology of our website, and (4) provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for prosecution in the event of a cyber attack.<\/p>\n
Therefore, Geoplex GIS GmbH evaluates this anonymously collected data and information on the one hand statistically, and on the other with the aim of increasing data protection and data security in our company, ultimately ensuring an optimal level of protection for the personal data we process. The anonymous data of the server log files are stored separately from all personal data provided by a data subject.<\/p>\n
On the website of Geoplex GIS GmbH, users are given the opportunity to subscribe to the company\u2019s newsletter. Which personal data are transmitted to the controller when ordering the newsletter results from the input mask used for this purpose.<\/p>\n
Geoplex GIS GmbH informs its customers and business partners at regular intervals by means of a newsletter about offers of the company. The company\u2019s newsletter can generally only be received by the data subject if (1) the data subject has a valid e-mail address and (2) the data subject registers for the newsletter dispatch. For legal reasons, a confirmation e-mail is sent in the double opt-in procedure to the e-mail address entered by a data subject for the first time for newsletter dispatch. This confirmation e-mail serves to verify whether the owner of the e-mail address as the data subject has authorized the receipt of the newsletter.<\/p>\n
When registering for the newsletter, we also store the IP address assigned by the Internet Service Provider (ISP) of the computer system used by the data subject at the time of registration, as well as the date and time of registration. The collection of this data is necessary in order to be able to trace (possible) misuse of the e-mail address of a data subject at a later point in time, and it therefore serves the legal protection of the controller.<\/p>\n
The personal data collected as part of a registration for the newsletter are used exclusively to send our newsletter. In addition, subscribers to the newsletter could be informed by e-mail if this is necessary for the operation of the newsletter service or a related registration, as might be the case in the event of changes to the newsletter offer or changes in technical circumstances. There is no disclosure of personal data collected as part of the newsletter service to third parties.<\/p>\n
The subscription to our newsletter may be terminated by the data subject at any time. The consent to the storage of personal data, which the data subject has given us for the purpose of sending the newsletter, may be revoked at any time. For the purpose of revoking consent, a corresponding link is found in each newsletter. Furthermore, it is possible at any time to unsubscribe directly on the website of the controller responsible for processing, or to inform the controller of this in another way.<\/p>\n
The newsletters of Geoplex GIS GmbH contain so-called tracking pixels. A tracking pixel is a miniature graphic embedded in e-mails that are sent in HTML format in order to enable log file recording and log file analysis. This makes it possible to carry out a statistical evaluation of the success or failure of online marketing campaigns. With the embedded tracking pixel, Geoplex GIS GmbH can see whether and when an e-mail was opened by a data subject, and which links contained in the e-mail were accessed by the data subject.<\/p>\n
The personal data collected via the tracking pixels contained in the newsletters are stored and evaluated by the controller in order to optimize the newsletter dispatch and to better adapt the content of future newsletters to the interests of the data subject. These personal data are not passed on to third parties. Data subjects are entitled at any time to revoke the separate consent declaration made via the double opt-in procedure. After a revocation, these personal data will be deleted by the controller. Unsubscribing from receipt of the newsletter is automatically interpreted by Geoplex GIS GmbH as a revocation.<\/p>\n
The website of Geoplex GIS GmbH contains information that enables a quick electronic contact to our company as well as direct communication with us, as required by law. This also includes a general address of so-called electronic mail (e-mail address). If a data subject contacts the controller by e-mail or via a contact form, the personal data transmitted by the data subject are automatically stored.<\/p>\n
Such personal data transmitted voluntarily by a data subject to the controller are stored for the purposes of processing or contacting the data subject. There is no transfer of these personal data to third parties.<\/p>\n
The controller processes and stores the personal data of the data subject only for the period necessary to achieve the purpose of storage, or insofar as this has been provided for by the European legislator or another legislator in laws or regulations to which the controller is subject.<\/p>\n
If the storage purpose no longer applies, or if a storage period prescribed by the European legislator or another competent legislator expires, the personal data are routinely blocked or deleted in accordance with the statutory provisions.<\/p>\n
\n
a) Right to Confirmation<\/strong> b) Right of Access<\/strong> the purposes of the processing,<\/p>\n<\/li>\n the categories of personal data concerned,<\/p>\n<\/li>\n the recipients or categories of recipients to whom the personal data have been or will be disclosed, in particular recipients in third countries or international organizations,<\/p>\n<\/li>\n where possible, the envisaged period for which the personal data will be stored, or, if not possible, the criteria used to determine that period,<\/p>\n<\/li>\n the existence of the right to request rectification or erasure of personal data, or restriction of processing of personal data concerning the data subject, or to object to such processing,<\/p>\n<\/li>\n the existence of a right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority,<\/p>\n<\/li>\n where the personal data are not collected from the data subject: any available information as to their source,<\/p>\n<\/li>\n the existence of automated decision-making, including profiling, referred to in Article 22(1) and (4) GDPR and \u2014 at least in those cases \u2014 meaningful information about the logic involved, as well as the significance and envisaged consequences of such processing for the data subject.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n Furthermore, the data subject has a right to know whether personal data are transferred to a third country or to an international organization. Where this is the case, the data subject also has the right to be informed of the appropriate safeguards relating to the transfer.<\/p>\n c) Right to Rectification<\/strong> d) Right to Erasure (Right to be Forgotten)<\/strong> The personal data are no longer necessary in relation to the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n The data subject withdraws the consent on which the processing is based pursuant to Article 6(1)(a) GDPR or Article 9(2)(a) GDPR, and where there is no other legal ground for the processing.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n The data subject objects to the processing pursuant to Article 21(1) GDPR and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing, or the data subject objects to the processing pursuant to Article 21(2) GDPR.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n The personal data have been unlawfully processed.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n The erasure of personal data is required to comply with a legal obligation under Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n The personal data have been collected in relation to the offer of information society services referred to in Article 8(1) GDPR.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n If one of the aforementioned reasons applies and a data subject wishes to arrange for the deletion of personal data stored by Geoplex GIS GmbH, they may, at any time, contact our data protection officer or another employee of the controller. The data protection officer of Geoplex GIS GmbH or another employee will ensure that the erasure request is complied with immediately.<\/p>\n Where Geoplex GIS GmbH has made personal data public and is obliged pursuant to Article 17(1) GDPR to erase the personal data, Geoplex GIS GmbH, taking account of available technology and the cost of implementation, shall take reasonable steps, including technical measures, to inform other controllers processing the personal data that the data subject has requested erasure of any links to, or copy or replication of, those personal data, insofar as processing is not required. The data protection officer of Geoplex GIS GmbH or another employee will arrange the necessary measures in individual cases.<\/p>\n e) Right to Restriction of Processing<\/strong> The accuracy of the personal data is contested by the data subject, for a period enabling the controller to verify the accuracy of the personal data.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n The processing is unlawful and the data subject opposes the erasure of the personal data and requests the restriction of their use instead.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n The controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of the processing, but they are required by the data subject for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n The data subject has objected to processing pursuant to Article 21(1) GDPR pending the verification of whether the legitimate grounds of the controller override those of the data subject.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n If one of the above conditions is met and a data subject wishes to request the restriction of personal data stored by Geoplex GIS GmbH, they may at any time contact our data protection officer or another employee of the controller.<\/p>\n f) Right to Data Portability<\/strong> In exercising their right to data portability pursuant to Article 20(1) GDPR, the data subject also has the right to have the personal data transmitted directly from one controller to another, where technically feasible and provided that this does not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others.<\/p>\n g) Right to Object<\/strong> Geoplex GIS GmbH shall no longer process the personal data in the event of the objection, unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override the interests, rights, and freedoms of the data subject, or for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.<\/p>\n Where Geoplex GIS GmbH processes personal data for direct marketing purposes, the data subject shall have the right to object at any time to processing of personal data concerning them for such marketing. This also applies to profiling insofar as it is related to such direct marketing. If the data subject objects to Geoplex GIS GmbH to the processing for direct marketing purposes, Geoplex GIS GmbH will no longer process the personal data for these purposes.<\/p>\n In addition, the data subject has the right, on grounds relating to their particular situation, to object to processing of personal data concerning them by Geoplex GIS GmbH for scientific or historical research purposes, or for statistical purposes pursuant to Article 89(1) GDPR, unless the processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out for reasons of public interest.<\/p>\n h) Automated Decisions in Individual Cases, Including Profiling<\/strong> If the decision (1) is necessary for entering into, or the performance of, a contract between the data subject and the controller, or (2) it is based on the data subject\u2019s explicit consent, Geoplex GIS GmbH shall implement suitable measures to safeguard the rights, freedoms, and legitimate interests of the data subject, including at least the right to obtain human intervention on the part of the controller, to express their point of view, and to contest the decision.<\/p>\n i) Right to Withdraw Consent<\/strong> If the data subject wishes to exercise the right to withdraw consent, they may contact our data protection officer or another employee of the controller at any time.<\/p>\n The controller collects and processes the personal data of applicants for the purpose of handling the application procedure. Processing may also take place electronically. This is particularly the case if an applicant submits corresponding application documents to the controller electronically, for example by e-mail or via a web form on the website.<\/p>\n If the controller concludes an employment contract with an applicant, the transmitted data will be stored for the purpose of processing the employment relationship in compliance with legal requirements. If the controller does not conclude an employment contract with the applicant, the application documents will be automatically deleted two months after notification of the rejection decision, provided that no other legitimate interests of the controller oppose such deletion. Another legitimate interest in this sense could, for example, be a duty to provide evidence in proceedings under the German General Equal Treatment Act (AGG).<\/p>\n \n The controller has integrated components of the company Facebook into this website. Facebook is a social network.<\/p>\n A social network is an online meeting place, an online community that generally enables users to communicate with each other and to interact in a virtual environment. A social network may serve as a platform for exchanging opinions and experiences or enable the internet community to provide personal or company-related information. Facebook allows users of the social network, among other things, to create private profiles, upload photos, and connect via friend requests.<\/p>\n The operating company of Facebook is Facebook, Inc., 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA. If a data subject lives outside the USA or Canada, the controller for the processing of personal data is Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland.<\/p>\n Each time one of the individual pages of this website, which is operated by the controller and on which a Facebook component (Facebook plug-in) has been integrated, is accessed, the internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject is automatically prompted by the respective Facebook component to download a representation of the corresponding Facebook component from Facebook. An overview of all Facebook plug-ins can be accessed at developers.facebook.com\/docs\/plugins\/<\/a>. As part of this technical process, Facebook gains knowledge of which specific subpage of our website is visited by the data subject.<\/p>\n If the data subject is simultaneously logged in to Facebook, Facebook recognizes, with each visit to our website by the data subject and throughout the duration of their stay, which specific subpage is visited. This information is collected through the Facebook component and associated with the respective Facebook account of the data subject. If the data subject clicks one of the Facebook buttons integrated on our website, for example the \u201cLike\u201d button, or leaves a comment, Facebook assigns this information to the data subject\u2019s personal Facebook user account and stores this personal data.<\/p>\n Facebook always receives information via the Facebook component that the data subject has visited our website if the data subject is logged in to Facebook at the time of visiting our website \u2014 this occurs regardless of whether the person clicks the Facebook component or not. If such transmission of this information to Facebook is not desired by the data subject, they may prevent the transmission by logging out of their Facebook account before visiting our website.<\/p>\n The data policy published by Facebook, available at de-de.facebook.com\/about\/privacy\/<\/a>, provides information about the collection, processing, and use of personal data by Facebook. It also explains what setting options Facebook offers to protect the privacy of the data subject. In addition, various applications are available that make it possible to suppress data transmission to Facebook, for example the Facebook Blocker tool from the provider Webgraph, which can be obtained at webgraph.com\/resources\/facebookblocker\/<\/a>. Such applications can be used by the data subject to suppress data transmission to Facebook.<\/p>\n \n This website uses functions 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 \u201ccookies.\u201d These are text files stored on your computer that enable an analysis of your use of the website. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is generally transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there.<\/p>\n IP Anonymization<\/strong> Browser Plug-in<\/strong> Objection to Data Collection<\/strong> More information on how user data is handled by Google Analytics can be found in Google\u2019s privacy policy: https:\/\/support.google.com\/analytics\/answer\/6004245?hl=de<\/a>.<\/p>\n Data Processing Agreement<\/strong> Demographics in Google Analytics<\/strong> \n The controller has integrated the Google+ button as a component on this website. Google+ is a so-called social network. A social network is an online meeting place, a community operated on the Internet, which generally allows users to communicate and interact in a virtual space. A social network may serve as a platform for exchanging opinions and experiences, or enable the internet community to provide personal or company-related information. Google+ allows users of the social network to create private profiles, upload photos, and connect via friend requests.<\/p>\n The operating company of Google+ is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA.<\/p>\n Each time one of the individual pages of this website, operated by the controller and on which a Google+ button is integrated, is accessed, the internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject is automatically prompted by the respective Google+ button to download a representation of the corresponding Google+ button from Google. As part of this technical process, Google gains knowledge of which specific subpage of our website is visited by the data subject. Further information about Google+ can be found at developers.google.com\/+\/<\/a>.<\/p>\n If the data subject is simultaneously logged in to Google+, Google recognizes, with each visit to our website by the data subject and for the entire duration of their stay, which specific subpage of our website the person visits. This information is collected via the Google+ button and assigned by Google to the respective Google+ account of the data subject.<\/p>\n If the data subject clicks one of the Google+ buttons integrated on our website and thereby gives a Google+1 recommendation, Google assigns this information to the personal Google+ user account of the data subject and stores this personal data. Google stores the Google+1 recommendation of the data subject and makes it publicly available in accordance with the terms accepted by the data subject. A Google+1 recommendation given by the data subject on this website will subsequently be stored and processed along with other personal data, such as the name of the Google+1 account used by the data subject and the photo stored in that account, in other Google services, for example in the search results of the Google search engine, in the Google account of the data subject, or in other places such as websites or advertisements. Google may also link the visit to this website with other personal data stored by Google. Furthermore, Google records this personal information with the purpose of improving or optimizing Google\u2019s various services.<\/p>\n Google receives information via the Google+ button whenever the data subject visits our website while logged in to Google+; this occurs regardless of whether the data subject clicks the Google+ button or not.<\/p>\n If such transmission of personal data to Google is not desired by the data subject, they may prevent this by logging out of their Google+ account before visiting our website.<\/p>\n Further information and the applicable Google privacy policy can be found at www.google.de\/intl\/de\/policies\/privacy\/<\/a>. Further guidance from Google on the Google+1 button can be found at developers.google.com\/+\/web\/buttons-policy<\/a>.<\/p>\n \n The controller has integrated Google AdWords on this website. Google AdWords is a service for internet advertising that allows advertisers to place ads in Google\u2019s search engine results as well as in the Google advertising network. Google AdWords enables an advertiser to predefine certain keywords by means of which an ad in Google\u2019s search engine results is displayed only when the user retrieves a keyword-relevant search result using the search engine. In the Google advertising network, ads are distributed to topic-relevant websites using an automatic algorithm and in accordance with the previously defined keywords.<\/p>\n The operating company of Google AdWords services is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA.<\/p>\n The purpose of Google AdWords is to promote our website by displaying interest-relevant advertising on third-party websites and in the search engine results of Google, and to display third-party advertising on our website.<\/p>\n If a data subject reaches our website via a Google ad, a so-called conversion cookie is placed on the data subject\u2019s IT system by Google. What cookies are has already been explained above. A conversion cookie loses its validity after thirty days and is not used to identify the data subject. If the cookie has not yet expired, the conversion cookie is used to track whether certain subpages, such as the shopping cart of an online store system, were accessed on our website. The conversion cookie allows both us and Google to track whether a data subject who accessed our website via an AdWords ad generated a sale, i.e., completed or canceled a purchase.<\/p>\n The data and information collected through the use of conversion cookies are used by Google to create visitor statistics for our website. These visitor statistics are then used by us to determine the total number of users conveyed to us via AdWords ads, i.e., to determine the success or failure of each AdWords ad, and to optimize our AdWords ads for the future. Neither our company nor other Google AdWords advertisers receive information from Google by which the data subject could be identified.<\/p>\n Through the conversion cookie, personal information, such as the websites visited by the data subject, is stored. Whenever our websites are visited, personal data, including the IP address of the internet connection used by the data subject, is transmitted to Google in the United States of America. These personal data are stored by Google in the United States. Google may pass these personal data collected through the technical process on to third parties.<\/p>\n The data subject can prevent the setting of cookies by our website at any time, as already shown above, through a corresponding setting of the internet browser used and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Such a setting of the internet browser used would also prevent Google from setting a conversion cookie on the IT system of the data subject. In addition, a cookie already set by Google AdWords can be deleted at any time via the internet browser or other software programs.<\/p>\n Furthermore, the data subject has the option of objecting to interest-based advertising by Google. For this purpose, the data subject must call up the link www.google.de\/settings\/ads<\/a> from each of the internet browsers they use and make the desired settings there.<\/p>\n Further information and the applicable data protection provisions of Google may be retrieved at www.google.de\/intl\/de\/policies\/privacy\/<\/a>.<\/p>\n The controller has integrated Twitter components into this website. Twitter is a multilingual, publicly accessible microblogging service on which users can publish and disseminate so-called \u201ctweets,\u201d i.e., short messages limited to 140 characters. These short messages are available to everyone, including those who are not registered with Twitter. The tweets are also displayed to the so-called followers of the respective user. Followers are other Twitter users who follow a user\u2019s tweets. Furthermore, Twitter allows the use of hashtags, links, or retweets to reach a wide audience.<\/p>\n The operating company of Twitter is Twitter, Inc., 1355 Market Street, Suite 900, San Francisco, CA 94103, USA.<\/p>\n With each call-up to one of the individual pages of this website that is operated by the controller and into which a Twitter component (Twitter button) has been integrated, the internet browser on the IT system of the data subject is automatically prompted by the respective Twitter component to download a representation of the corresponding Twitter component from Twitter. Further information on the Twitter buttons is available at about.twitter.com\/de\/resources\/buttons. As part of this technical process, Twitter gains knowledge of which specific subpage of our website the data subject visits. The purpose of integrating the Twitter component is to enable our users to redistribute the content of this website, to make this website known in the digital world, and to increase our visitor numbers.<\/p>\n If the data subject is logged in at the same time on Twitter, Twitter recognizes with each call-up to our website by the data subject and for the entire duration of their stay on our website which specific subpage of our website the data subject visits. These data are collected through the Twitter component and associated by Twitter with the respective Twitter account of the data subject. If the data subject clicks one of the Twitter buttons integrated on our website, the data and information transferred are assigned to the personal Twitter user account of the data subject and stored and processed by Twitter.<\/p>\n Twitter receives information via the Twitter component that the data subject has visited our website, provided that the data subject is logged in on Twitter at the time of accessing our website; this occurs regardless of whether the data subject clicks the Twitter component or not. If such transmission of information to Twitter is not desired by the data subject, the data subject may prevent this by logging out of their Twitter account before accessing our website.<\/p>\n The applicable data protection provisions of Twitter are available at twitter.com\/privacy.<\/p>\n \n The controller has integrated YouTube components into this website. YouTube is an internet video portal that allows video publishers to post video clips free of charge and other users to watch, review, and comment on them for free as well.
