Push Notifications
If you activate push notifications for this website using Signalize, a function of your Internet browser or mobile operating system is used to provide the notifications to you. For the sending of messages, only anonymous data is stored, which does not allow any identification of a specific person. This data is only processed in order to deliver the notifications you have subscribed to and to make notification-related settings. We ask for your consent to store this data. In this case, the legal basis for the data processing is Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR. You can opt out of receiving notifications at any time via the settings of your browser or mobile device. Information on how to unsubscribe from push notifications can be found here.
In order to make the content of the push notifications meaningful to you, we use the preferences from an anonymous user profile collected by means of cookies and merge your notification ID with the user profile of the website solely for the purpose of personalised messaging. Tracking technology is also used for statistical analysis of notifications on our behalf. This allows us to determine whether a notification has been delivered and whether it has been clicked on. The data generated in this way is processed and stored on our behalf by etracker GmbH from Hamburg, which provides the Signalize service, exclusively in Germany and is therefore subject to the strict German and European data protection laws and standards. etracker has been independently audited and certified in this regard and is entitled to bear the ePrivacyseal.
The data processing for the purpose of triggering the invitation to the notification service as well as for the statistical analysis of the registration or objection is based on our legitimate interest according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR in order to make the notification service user-friendly and effective. Since the privacy of our visitors is very important to us, data that may allow a reference to an individual person, such as the IP address, login or device identifiers, are anonymised as early as possible. A direct reference to a person is thus excluded. The data will not be used in any other way, merged with other data or passed on to third parties.
You can object to the data processing described above at any time.
I object to the processing of my personal data with Signalize on this website.
