Google Maps
We use Google Maps on our website to display our location and to provide directions. This is a service provided by Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043 USA, hereinafter referred to as “Google”.

Due to the certification according to the EU-US Privacy Shield

https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt000000001L5AAI&status=Active

Google guarantees that the data protection requirements of the EU are also complied with when processing data in the USA.

To enable the display of certain fonts on our website, a connection to the Google server in the USA is established when you access our website.

If you call up the Google Maps component integrated into our website, Google will store a cookie on your terminal device via your internet browser. In order to display our location and create directions, your user settings and data are processed. We cannot exclude the possibility that Google uses servers in the USA.

The legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) DSGVO. Our legitimate interest lies in optimising the functionality of our website.

Through the connection to Google established in this way, Google can determine from which website your request was sent and to which IP address the directions are to be transmitted.

If you do not agree to this processing, you have the option of preventing the installation of cookies by making the appropriate settings in your internet browser. Details on this can be found above under the item “Cookies”.

In addition, the use of Google Maps and the information obtained via Google Maps is governed by the Google Terms of Use https://policies.google.com/terms?gl=DE&hl=de and the Terms and Conditions for Google Maps https://www.google.com/intl/de_de/help/terms_maps.html.

Google reCAPTCHA
We use Google reCAPTCHA on our website to check and prevent interactions on our website by automated access, e.g. by so-called bots. This is a service provided by Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043 USA, hereinafter referred to as “Google”.

https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt000000001L5AAI&status=Active

Google guarantees that the data protection requirements of the EU are also complied with when processing data in the USA.

This service enables Google to determine from which website a request is sent and from which IP address you use the so-called reCAPTCHA input box. In addition to your IP address, Google may also collect other information that is necessary for offering and guaranteeing this service.

The legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) DSGVO. Our legitimate interest lies in the security of our website as well as in the defence against unwanted, automated access in the form of spam or similar.

Google offers a service at

for further information on the general handling of your user data.

“Twitter” social plug-in
We use the plug-in of the social network Twitter on our website. Twitter is an Internet service provided by Twitter Inc., 795 Folsom St., Suite 600, San Francisco, CA 94107, USA, hereinafter referred to as “Twitter”.

Due to the certification according to the EU-US Privacy Shield

https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt0000000TORzAAO&status=Active

Twitter guarantees that the data protection requirements of the EU are also complied with when processing data in the USA.

The legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) DSGVO. Our legitimate interest lies in improving the quality of our website.

If the plug-in is stored on one of the pages of our website that you visit, your internet browser downloads a representation of the plug-in from the servers of Twitter in the USA. For technical reasons, it is necessary for Twitter to process your IP address. In addition, the date and time of your visit to our website are also recorded.

If you are logged in to Twitter while visiting one of our websites with the plug-in, the information collected by the plug-in from your specific visit will be recognised by Twitter. Twitter may assign the information collected in this way to your personal user account there. If you use the so-called “Share” button from Twitter, for example, this information will be stored in your Twitter user account and possibly published via the Twitter platform. If you wish to prevent this, you must either log out of Twitter before visiting our website or make the appropriate settings in your Twitter user account.

Twitter provides further information on the collection and use of data as well as your rights and protection options in this regard in the privacy policy available at https://twitter.com/privacy

Google AdWords with conversion tracking
In our website, we use the advertising component Google AdWords and the so-called conversion tracking. This is a service provided by Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043 USA, hereinafter referred to as “Google”.

Due to the certification according to the EU-US Privacy Shield

https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt000000001L5AAI&status=Active

Google guarantees that the data protection requirements of the EU are also complied with when processing data in the USA.

We use conversion tracking for the targeted advertising of our offer. The legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) DSGVO. Our legitimate interest lies in the analysis, optimisation and economic operation of our website.

If you click on an ad placed by Google, the conversion tracking we use saves a cookie on your terminal device. These so-called conversion cookies lose their validity after 30 days and do not serve to identify you personally.

If the cookie is still valid and you visit a specific page of our website, both we and Google can evaluate the fact that you have clicked on one of our ads placed with Google and that you have subsequently been redirected to our website.

Google uses the information collected in this way to create statistics for us about visits to our website. In addition, this provides us with information about the number of users who clicked on our ad(s) and about the pages of our website that were subsequently accessed. However, neither we nor third parties who also use Google AdWords are able to identify you in this way.

You can also prevent or restrict the installation of cookies using the appropriate settings in your internet browser. At the same time, you can delete cookies already stored at any time. However, the steps and measures required for this depend on the specific internet browser you use. If you have any questions, please use the help function or documentation of your Internet browser or contact its manufacturer or support.

Furthermore, Google also offers the following website

Google also offers further information on this topic and in particular on the possibilities of preventing the use of data.

YouTube
We use YouTube on our website. This is a video portal of YouTube LLC, 901 Cherry Ave, 94066 San Bruno, CA, USA, hereinafter referred to as “YouTube”.

YouTube is a subsidiary of Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043 USA, hereinafter referred to as “Google”.

Through certification under the EU-US Privacy Shield (“EU-US Privacy Shield”)

https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt000000001L5AAI&status=Active

Google, and thus also its subsidiary YouTube, guarantees that the EU data protection requirements are also complied with when processing data in the USA.

We use YouTube in connection with the “extended data protection mode” function in order to be able to show you videos. The legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) DSGVO. Our legitimate interest lies in improving the quality of our website. According to YouTube, the “enhanced data protection mode” function means that the data described in more detail below is only transmitted to the YouTube server when you actually start a video.

Without this “extended data protection”, a connection to the YouTube server in the USA is established as soon as you call up one of our Internet pages on which a YouTube video is embedded.

This connection is necessary in order to be able to display the respective video on our website via your internet browser. In the course of this, YouTube will at least record and process your IP address, the date and time as well as the website you visited. In addition, a connection to Google’s “DoubleClick” advertising network is established.

If you are logged into YouTube at the same time, YouTube will assign the connection information to your YouTube account. If you wish to prevent this, you must either log out of YouTube before visiting our website or make the appropriate settings in your YouTube user account.

For the purpose of functionality and to analyse user behaviour, YouTube permanently stores cookies on your end device via your internet browser. If you do not agree to this processing, you have the option of preventing the storage of cookies by making a setting in your internet browser. You can find more information on this above under “Cookies”.

Personal data that you transmit to us is secured by us in accordance with the best available technology and protected against unauthorised access.

Minors
The SKOPOS offer is not directed at minors under the age of 16. Personal data of minors under the age of 16 will only be knowingly processed with the express consent of a parent or guardian.

SKOPOS VIEW – Data transmission
Insofar as it is necessary for the purpose of transferring your data to us, your contact data will be exchanged within the SKOPOS group of companies. This applies in particular to participation in events organised by other companies of the SKOPOS group of companies or information provided by other companies of the SKOPOS group of companies for advertising purposes. The latter, however, only insofar as you have consented to the promotional communication.

If you consent to the use of your contact data for advertising purposes, you agree that SKOPOS VIEW may exchange your contact data within the SKOPOS group of companies (https://www.skopos-group.de/) for the purpose of self-promotion directed at you.

SKOPOS VIEW shall also ensure that data transfers within the SKOPOS group of companies are secured by data protection guarantees from the data recipients in accordance with Article 28 DS-GVO. If we commission third parties with the processing of data, this is done on the basis of a so-called order processing agreement pursuant to Article 28 DSGVO. If SKOPOS processes data in a third country outside the European Union or the European Economic Area, this is only done insofar as it is done for the fulfilment of (pre-) contractual obligations, on the basis of your consent, on the basis of a legal obligation or on the basis of a legitimate interest of the SKOPOS company. We ensure compliance with the special requirements of Article 44 et seq. DSGVO.

Deletion or blocking of data
Unless expressly stated otherwise within the scope of this data protection declaration, we only store your personal data for as long as is necessary to achieve the stated purposes, unless statutory retention periods oblige us to retain the data for a longer period. After the respective purpose no longer applies or the periods have expired, the data will be blocked or deleted. Data is blocked if it has to be retained for reasons of commercial or tax law. During this period, however, the data is blocked in accordance with the law and will not be processed for other purposes.

The newsletter subsequently sent via The Rocket Science Group also contains a so-called tracking pixel, also known as a “web beacon”. With the help of this tracking pixel, we can evaluate whether and when you have read our newsletter and whether you have followed any links contained in the newsletter. In addition to other technical data, such as the data of your IT system and your IP address, the processed data is stored so that we can optimise our newsletter offer and respond to the wishes of our readers. The data is thus used to increase the quality and attractiveness of our newsletter offer.

The legal basis for the dispatch of the newsletter and the analysis is Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a.) DSGVO.

In accordance with Art. 7 Para. 3 DSGVO, you can revoke your consent to the sending of the newsletter at any time with effect for the future. To do so, you only need to inform us of your revocation or click on the unsubscribe link contained in each newsletter.
