Additionally, the controller is obliged to inform all recipients to whom it discloses data of any such corrections, deletions, or restrictions on processing in accordance with Articles 16, 17(1), 18 GDPR.

Likewise, under Art. 21 GDPR, users have the right to object to the future processing of data concerning them by the controller pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. In particular, an objection to data processing for the purpose of direct advertising is permissible.
Your data processed when using our website will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of the storage ceases to apply, provided the deletion does not conflict with any statutory retention obligations or unless otherwise specified below.
a) Session Cookies
We use cookies on our website. Cookies are small text files or other storage technologies that are stored on your computer by your browser. These cookies process certain specific information about you, such as your browser, location data, or IP address. This processing makes our website more user-friendly, efficient, and secure, allowing us, for example, to display our website in different languages.
The legal basis for such processing is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR, insofar as these cookies are used to collect data to initiate or process contractual relationships. If the processing is not for the initiation or processing of a contract, our legitimate interest lies in improving the functionality of our website. The legal basis is then Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. When you close your browser, these session cookies are deleted.

If applicable, our website may also use cookies from companies with whom we cooperate for the purpose of advertising, analysis, or improving the functionalities of our website.

The necessary steps and measures vary depending on the browser you use. If you have any questions, please use the help function or consult the documentation of your browser or contact its manufacturer for support. The browser settings cannot prevent the setting of so-called Flash cookies. Instead, you need to change the setting of your Flash player. The steps and measures required for this also depend on the Flash player you use. If you have any questions, please use the help function or consult the documentation of your Flash player or contact its manufacturer. If you prevent or restrict the installation of cookies, not all functions of our website may be fully usable.

We use Google Analytics on our website. This is a web analytics service provided by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043 (hereinafter: Google), which is certified under the EU-US Privacy Shield
https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt000000001L5AAI&status=Active
Google guarantees that it will comply with the EU's data protection requirements when processing data in the United States.
The Google Analytics service is used to analyze the usage of our website. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in the analysis, optimization, and economic operation of our website.
Usage and user-related information, such as IP address, location, time, or frequency of your visits to our website, are transmitted to a Google server in the United States and stored there. However, we use Google Analytics with the so-called anonymization function, whereby Google truncates the IP address within the EU or EEA before it is transmitted to the USA.
The data collected in this way is used by Google to provide us with an evaluation of visits to our website and what visitors do there. This data can also be used to provide other services related to the use of our website and the internet in general.
Google states that it will not link your IP address to other data held by Google. Additionally, Google provides further information about its data protection practices at
https://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy/partners
including options you can exercise to prevent such use of your data.
Moreover, Google offers an opt-out add-on at
https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en
with further information. This add-on can be installed on the most popular browsers and offers you further control over the data that Google collects when you visit our website. The add-on informs the Google Analytics JavaScript (ga.js) that no information about the website visit should be transmitted to Google Analytics. However, this does not prevent information from being transmitted to us or to other web analytics services we may use as detailed in this privacy policy.
We use Vercel Speed Insights and Vercel Analytics to monitor and improve the performance and user experience of our website. Vercel Speed Insights provides us with detailed information about the loading times and performance of our pages, while Vercel Analytics gives us data on the usage of our website, such as visit statistics and interaction patterns. These tools help us optimize the website according to the needs of our users. The processing of the data is based on our legitimate interests in improving the functionality and efficiency of our website in accordance with Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. For more information, please refer to Vercel's privacy policies: https://vercel.com/legal/privacy-policy.

If you participate in a survey created and published by aclipp GmbH, the personal data you voluntarily provide (e.g., email address) will be used to send you the survey results via email once completed. Additionally, you agree to be added to the aclipp GmbH newsletter distribution list. Further information can be found under the section “Newsletter and Broad Communication”.
We send newsletters, emails, and other electronic notifications (hereinafter "newsletters") only with the consent of the recipients or a legal permission. If the contents of the newsletter are specifically described within the scope of a subscription, they are decisive for the consent of the users. Otherwise, our newsletters contain information about our services and us.
To subscribe to our newsletters, it is generally sufficient to provide your email address. However, we may ask you to provide a name for personal address in the newsletter or other details if these are necessary for the purposes of the newsletter.
Double-Opt-In Procedure: The registration for our newsletter takes place in a so-called Double-Opt-In procedure. This means you will receive an email after registration asking for confirmation of your registration. This confirmation is necessary so that no one can register with foreign email addresses. The registrations to the newsletter are logged to be able to prove the registration process according to the legal requirements. This includes the storage of the login and the confirmation time as well as the IP address. Changes to your data stored with the dispatch service provider are also logged.
Deletion and Restriction of Processing: We may store the unsubscribed email addresses for up to three years based on our legitimate interests before deleting them to be able to prove a formerly given consent. The processing of this data is limited to the purpose of a possible defense against claims. An individual deletion request is possible at any time, provided that the former existence of a consent is confirmed at the same time. In the case of obligations to observe objections permanently, we reserve the right to store the email address solely for this purpose in a blacklist.
The logging of the registration process is based on our legitimate interests for purposes of proving its proper execution. If we commission a service provider to send emails, this is based on our legitimate interests in an efficient and secure sending system.
Notes on Legal Bases: The dispatch of the newsletter is based on the consent of the recipients or, if consent is not required, on our legitimate interests in direct marketing, provided and to the extent it is permitted by law, e.g., in the case of customer advertising. If we commission a service provider to send emails, this is based on our legitimate interests. The registration process is logged based on our legitimate interests to prove that it has been conducted in accordance with the law.
Content: Information about us, our services, actions, and offers.
Performance Measurement: The newsletters contain a so-called "web-beacon", i.e., a pixel-sized file that is retrieved from our server when the newsletter is opened, or, if we use a dispatch service provider, from their server. In the course of this retrieval, technical information, such as information about the browser and your system, as well as your IP address and the time of retrieval, is initially collected.
This information is used to improve the technical performance of our newsletters based on the technical data or the target groups and their reading behavior based on their retrieval locations (which can be determined using the IP address) or access times. This analysis also includes determining whether the newsletters are opened, when they are opened, and which links are clicked. This information can be assigned to the individual newsletter recipients for technical reasons. However, it is neither our intention nor, if used, the intention of the dispatch service provider to observe individual users. The evaluations serve us much more to recognize the reading habits of our users and to adapt our content to them or to send different content according to the interests of our users.
The evaluation of the newsletter and the performance measurement are carried out, subject to the express consent of the users, based on our legitimate interests in using a user-friendly and secure newsletter system, which serves both our business interests and meets the expectations of the users.
A separate revocation of the performance measurement is unfortunately not possible, in this case, the entire newsletter subscription must be canceled, or it must be objected to.
Condition of Using Free Services: Consent to the sending of mailings can be made a condition of using free services (e.g., access to certain content or participation in certain promotions). If users wish to use the free service without subscribing to the newsletter, we ask you to contact us.
Processed Data Types: Inventory data (e.g., names, addresses), contact data (e.g., email, phone numbers), meta/communication data (e.g., device information, IP addresses), usage data (e.g., visited websites, interest in content, access times).
Affected Persons: Communication partners, users (e.g., website visitors, users of online services).
Purposes of Processing: Direct marketing (e.g., via email or postal mail), contractual services and service.
Legal Bases: Consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR), legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).
Opt-Out Option: You can cancel the receipt of our newsletter at any time, i.e., revoke your consents, or object to further receipt. A link to cancel the newsletter can be found either at the end of each newsletter or you can use one of the above contact options, preferably email, for this purpose.
