We only collect and process your data if we have either received your consent to process the data or if the processing is permitted by law.

If you visit our website for information purposes only, i.e. if you do not register or otherwise transmit data (e.g. via a contact form), we will record the data that your browser transmits to us. In detail, this comprises the following data sets:

• IP address
• Date and time of the access
• Time zone difference to Greenwich Mean Time (GMT)
• Content of the access (specific page)
• Volume of data transmitted in each case
• Website from which you visit us (referrer URL)
• Website you visit
• Browser type and version used
• Operating system and its interface
• Language and version of the browser software

This data is collected and processed in order to be able to display the website to you, to ensure and improve its stability and for security reasons. The legal basis for this processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. The recording of this data and the storage of the data in log files is mandatory for the operation of the website. The user therefore has no possibility of objection.

The legal basis for this processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. The data will be deleted as soon as they are no longer required for the aforementioned purposes. In the event that an IP address is stored, it will be deleted or anonymized after 30 days at the latest. The recording of this data and the storage of the data in log files is mandatory for the operation of the website. The user therefore has no possibility of objection.

If you use offers on our website which require registration, further data will be stored. Information on registration can be found in the "Registration" section of the terms of use.

In addition, cookies and other technologies are used on our website. Cookies are small text files which are stored on your computer by us or by another party (for more detailed information, please refer to the description of our analysis procedures below) and through which the party that sets the cookie receives certain information. Cookies are always assigned for each specific browser. By using cookies, it is not possible to execute programs or transfer viruses to your PC.

You can configure your browser settings according to your wishes and, for example, refuse to accept third-party cookies or all cookies. However, this may mean that you cannot use all the functions of our website. You are also free to delete all cookies at any time via the settings of your browser. In addition to cookies, other technologies (e.g. pixels) are also used in individual cases to collect corresponding information.

We use cookies and technologies to offer you the following functions and services:

• Consent Management Platform
• Tag Management System
• Technically required website cookies
• Fraud Protection
• Website testing and optimization
• Billing with cooperating affiliate partners
• Measuring range without the formation of profiles
• Basic web analysis

The legal basis for the related data processing is Sec. 25 para. 2 TTDSG (German Telecommunications Telemedia Data Protection Act) in conjunction with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b) or lit. f) GDPR. The purpose of processing is to make it easier for you to use our website and to offer you our services in accordance with your requests. Some functions of our website also do not work without the use of these cookies and could therefore not be offered. Our legitimate interest in the processing of the cookies results from the aforementioned purposes. The cookies are deleted at the end of the session (e.g. when you log out or close the browser) or after a specified period of time has elapsed.

Google Tag Manager

This website uses the Google Tag Manager ("GTM") as a tag management system. Through this service, tracking codes and code fragments ("tags") can be managed via an interface. The tags, e.g. for Google Analytics, are merely provided, configured and maintained via the GTM. The data collection and processing itself, on the other hand, is carried out by the relevant services. Accordingly, the GTM does not access the generated data. No cookies are used and no personal data is collected.

Application Insights

We use Application Insights, a web analytics service provided by Microsoft Corporation, One Microsoft Way, Redmond, WA 98052-6399 USA ("Microsoft"), to evaluate the use of our websites for statistical purposes and to compile reports on your website activity. In addition, evaluations are created for the purpose of troubleshooting and optimizing the website and the application. Application Insights is based on the database application "Azure". In the process, your IP address is set to the value 0 and thus anonymized. The information generated by the cookie concerning your use of our websites is normally transferred to a Microsoft server in the USA and saved there. Microsoft processes this information on our behalf. The legal basis for the data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest results from the aforementioned purposes. The storage period of the cookie is 12 months.

Further information from Microsoft on the subject of data protection and Azure can be found at https://privacy.microsoft.com/de-de/privacystatement.

AWIN

We use a service of AWIN AG, Eichhornstraße 3, D-10785 Berlin, Germany on our website. As part of its tracking services, AWIN stores cookies on the end devices of users who visit or use our websites or other online services provided by us (e.g. when you register for a newsletter or place an order) for the purpose of documenting transactions (e.g. leads and sales). These cookies are used solely for the purpose of correctly allocating the success of an advertising medium and the corresponding billing of advertising costs. Your IP address will be shortened immediately after recording. A cookie only contains information about when a particular advertising medium was clicked by an end device. In an additional cookie set by us, an individual sequence of digits, which cannot be assigned to the individual user, is stored. The legal basis for data processing is your consent pursuant Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR. In addition to the general withdrawal options, you can also use the following link to withdraw your consent and prevent AWIN from collecting data within this website in the future: https://www.awin.com/de/rechtliches/optout. If you click this link, an opt-out cookie will be created and stored in your browser. This cookie prevents Awin tracking services from placing further cookies on your terminal device in the future. At the same time, all Awin Tracking Cookies that may already exist on your terminal device will be deleted.

Google reCaptcha

For the purposes of login and account security, we use “Google reCAPTCHA” (hereinafter “reCAPTCHA”) on our website. Google reCAPTCHA is a service of Google LLC (Mountain View, California, United States). For the European region, the service is offered by Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland).

reCAPTCHA supports us by checking the data entries on our websites (e.g. in the login process) and distinguishes whether the entry is made by a person or improperly by automated, machine processing. To this end, reCAPTCHA analyses the behavior of the website visitor and evaluates various information. The query closes the transmission of your IP address and, if necessary, browser data such as your user agent on the servers of Google Ireland Limited. Your IP address will be shortened beforehand by Google within member states of the European Union or in other signatory states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the complete IP address be transmitted to Google servers in the USA and shortened there. In addition, the duration of the visit to the website and the mouse movements of the user are recorded for the analysis of the requests.

The reCAPTCHA analyses start automatically when the visitor enters the website and run completely in the background. The data required for the analysis will be processed exclusively for the above-mentioned purposes and to protect your requests via the Internet form. We do not store any personal data on our side from the use of reCAPTCHA. In general, the erasure or blocking of personal data of the data subjects applies as soon as the purpose of storage no longer applies. The storage period of the processed data is determined by Google Ireland Limited and cannot be influenced by us.

The use of the service and data processing takes place on the basis of our legitimate interest, i.e. to protect against automated inputs (attacks) and the security of our website in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 letter f. GDPR.

Further information and notes on the Google reCAPTCHA privacy policy can be found in Google’s privacy policy https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en and on the following page https://www.google.com/recaptcha/about. Standard contractual clauses (controller – controller) have been concluded to safeguard the possible transfer of third countries to Google LLC.

In addition to our own cookies, we also use third-party cookies and other third-party technologies on our website. Third-party cookies are those which are not stored on your computer by us but by third-party providers. You will find more detailed information on the scope and purpose of data processing, the respective legal basis, the storage period and the revocation, objection and removal options of third-party cookies and other technologies below in the explanation of the individual procedures we use.

You can access your cookie and privacy settings online at any time in our privacy policy and change the decision you have made or subsequently give or revoke your consent.

We use the services listed in this section on our websites on the basis of your consent, which you have given us via the cookie banner in accordance with Sec. 25 para. 1 TTDSG in conjunction with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR. For these services, you can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future or subsequently grant it again by accessing your cookie and privacy settings online via our privacy information and configuring them accordingly. Alternatively, you can prevent the storage of cookies by adjusting your browser software accordingly. Please note that the browser settings you make only work for the browser you are using. For further detailed information, please refer to the descriptions below.

We use Google Analytics ("GA") on our websites, a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland ("Google"). GA generally uses [ ] "cookies" to obtain and analyze information about the use of our websites. In addition, we also collect data for marketing purposes and for the delivery of individually tailored advertising messages as part of the so-called advertising functions. These functions include, for example, the formation of user groups with similar interests and behavior, as well as the creation of remarketing lists based on collected interest, behavioral and demographic data. For example, you will be addressed with content relevant to you based on your interests. Your data will only be processed if you have actively consented to the "statistics cookies or marketing, personalization and profiling" section within the cookie banner on our websites. In these cases, the legal basis for the processing of the data is your consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a), Art. 49 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR. On our behalf, Google will process the information collected for the purpose of evaluating your use of our website and compiling reports on website activity. The duration of the cookies, i.e. how long the collected information is stored, is 12 months. Our websites use GA exclusively with the "_anonymizeIp()" extension, which causes your IP address to be shortened and encrypted within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Thus, a direct reference to persons is excluded. The recorded information including the abbreviated and encrypted IP address is generally transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there.

Besides the general rights of revocation, you can also prevent the compilation and sending of data generated by the cookie, its use of website-related data (incl. your IP address) to Google and the processing of data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plugin which is available via the following link: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de.

However, we would like to point out that in this case you may not be able to use all the functions of our website to their full extent. As an alternative to the browser plugin or within browsers on mobile devices, you can also click the following link to set an opt-out cookie that will prevent Google Analytics from recording data within this website in the future (JavaScript must be activated): Deactivate Google Analytics

Please note that this opt-out cookie only works in this browser and only for this domain. If you delete your cookies or use a different browser, you will have to click the interface again.

We use the online marketing service "Display & Video 360" (formerly Double Click Bid Manager, "DV360") and the online marketing service "Campaign Manager 360" (formerly Double Click Campaign Manager, "CM360") from Google on our website. We process data about your behavior on our websites for marketing purposes and the delivery of individually tailored advertising messages. In addition, we process data from the application process (e.g. reason for switching, payment method, etc.) that you have selected as part of your website visit in order to form user groups with comparable behavior and to create remarketing lists. For example, you are targeted with content that is relevant to you based on your behavior. In doing so, DV360 and CM360 generally use so-called "cookies" to track where and how our advertisements have been played. In addition, this can prevent advertisements from being displayed to you more than once. In addition, CM360 uses cookies for conversion tracking (so-called "floodlight cookies"), which allow evaluations of your digital user behavior on our websites, for example, information about products in which you were interested (e.g. rate, division, etc.). This allows us to measure the effectiveness of our advertising activities as well as to retarget identified user groups with the right content. In addition to the activities on our website, we collect and process information about your user behavior in the Google advertising network. In these cases, the legal basis for the processing of the data is your consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a), Art. 49 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR. On our behalf, Google will use the information collected to evaluate the impact of our advertising activities and to create reports on the campaigns. There is a technical connection between DV360, CM360 and GA. This allows data and information already collected to flow between the tools. On our behalf, Google will import the data from CM360 and GA into DV360 and make it available to us there. Your data will only be available to us if you have actively consented to the "Marketing and Personalization" section of the cookie banner on our websites. The cookies stored by CM360 and DV360 are deleted after 90 days at the latest. Your IP address is encrypted and shortened by Google. Thus, a direct reference to persons is excluded. At no time can we see your IP address. This information including the IP address is generally transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. In addition to the general revocation options, you can also use the following link to revoke your consent in the settings of your Google account and prevent the collection of personalized advertising from Google within this website in the future: https://adssettings.google.com/u/0/authenticated?hl=de

For general information about Google’s privacy policy, please visit https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de.

As a Google Ads customer, we also use Google Conversion Tracking on our website. This is an analysis service provided by Google. As part of this service, Google Ads sets a cookie on your computer ("conversion cookie") if you have reached our website via a Google advertisement. The purpose of using the conversion cookie is to use the information collected to compile conversion statistics for Ads customers. In these cases, the legal basis for the processing of the data is your consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a), Art. 49 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR. As an Ads customer, we only learn the total number of users who clicked our ad and were redirected to a page with a conversion tracking tag. However, we do not receive any information that allows us to personally identify a user. If you visit some of our pages and the cookie has not expired, this cookie enables us and Google to recognize that someone has clicked the ad and been redirected to our site. Since every Ads customer receives a different cookie, it is not possible to track the cookie through websites of other Ads customers. This type of cookie loses its validity after 540 days and is not used to identify you personally. If you have completed an order with EnBW, this cookie will lose its validity after 60 days.

For general information about Google’s privacy policy, please visit https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de.

For the purpose of placing interest-related advertisements and to determine the website or source from which you are visiting us (referrer), cookies or pixels are set on our website by Adform A/S (Wildersgade 10B, 1, 1408 Copenhagen K, Denmark). These cookies store information about the operating system, browser version, geographical location, URLs where Adform advertisements are displayed and the number of clicks or views. Immediately when the data is collected, your IP address is anonymised by truncating it by the last three digits. The collected data can therefore not be related to any person, neither for Adform nor for us. The cookie set by Adform has a term of 60 days. The data collected with the Adform cookie is used for the following purposes:

• Recording the number of visitors to our websites
• Determining the order in which a visitor visits the various pages of our website
• Assessing which parts of our website need to be adapted
• Optimising the website

The legal basis for this is the declaration of consent given by you when you access this website within the framework of our cookie banner (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR). You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future. If you do not want Adform to collect your data, you can revoke your consent at any time by clicking the following link: https://site.adform.com/privacy-center/website-privacy/opt-out.

We use content discovery technology from Taboola (16 Madison Square West, 7th Floor, New York, New York 10010) to recommend additional online content that may be of interest to you. Taboola’s representative in the EU is LionheartSquared (Europe) Ltd., 2 Pembroke House, Upper Pembroke Street 28 - 32, Dublin, D02 EK 84, Ireland.

We use the MXO Medallia Experience Orchestration by Medallia, Inc, (6220 Stoneridge Mall Rd Floor 2, Pleasanton, CA 94588, USA). A cookie is stored on your device.

Use without login to the customer portal

If you are not logged into the customer portal/registered area, your user behavior will be recorded anonymously. Your user behavior includes which of our websites you visit, how long you stay there, what you "click" or in which fields you enter data (so-called listening and capturing). This serves to improve our website as well as our products and services as such, as we hope to gain insights into what interests our customers or interested parties/users of our websites and which functions they use and how. The IP address is anonymized immediately when the data is collected. The legal basis for processing (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR) is the declaration of consent that you submitted in our cookie banner when you called up this website. For further information on data usage by Medallia, on setting and objection options as well as on data protection, please refer to the following website of Medallia: https://www.medallia.com/privacy-policy/.

Use during login in the customer portal

If you log in to the registered area and have given your consent to do so, the data collected by means of the MXO cookie on user behavior will be processed in a personalized manner by linking it to your identity and your contractual data. The purpose of creating your personal customer profile is to enable us to display content tailored to you and your interests, which we assume could be particularly helpful or interesting for you in your situation. Medallia does not receive any personal data beyond the aforementioned data. The legal basis for data processing pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR is the declaration of consent that you submitted in our cookie banner when you accessed this website. The customer profile created in this way will be stored until you either revoke your consent or until our purposes in connection with the contractual relationship existing between us expire. For further information, please refer to the data protection information regarding the contractual relationship between us.

Facebook Pixel is used on our websites. This is a JavaScript code snippet that enables us to track the activities of our website visitors. The Facebook Pixel is used by Facebook Inc, 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA, or if you are located in the EU, by Facebook Ireland Ltd, 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland ("Facebook"). The use of the Facebook pixel as well as the storage of "conversion cookies" is only carried out if you have given your consent to the use of cookies and similar procedures when visiting our website. With the help of the Facebook pixel, Facebook is able to determine you as a target group for the display of advertisements (so-called "Facebook ads") by visiting our online offer. In order to make this possible, we use the Facebook pixel to display the Facebook Ads placed by us only to those Facebook users who have also shown an interest in our online offer or who have certain characteristics. A certain characteristic could for example be the interest in a certain product, which could be defined by the website visit. The information collected is transmitted to Facebook (so-called "customer audiences"). We do not have access to this information ourselves. With the help of the Facebook pixel, we want to ensure that our Facebook advertisements match the potential interest of the users. We can also use the Facebook Pixel to track the impact of Facebook Ads for statistical and market research purposes by seeing whether network visitors have been redirected to our website after clicking a Facebook ad (so-called "conversion tracking").

Example 1 for Custom Audiences (Remarketing):

You visit our website, are interested in an electricity tariff and Facebook provides you with further relevant information on the respective product for us via a Facebook advertisement at a later date, based on your interests. The advertising offer tailored to your interests will be displayed on Facebook, Instagram or on other websites cooperating with Facebook.

A special form of customer audiences are the so-called "lookalike audiences". With this method, not the actual website visitors are addressed, but network members with comparable profile characteristics. This means that the advertising message is not displayed to the website visitor, but to the so-called "lookalikes". Comparable profile characteristics can include age, place of residence or interests.

Example 2 for Custom Audiences (Lookalikes):

You visit our website and are interested in an electricity tariff. Based on your interest in our product and your profile characteristics, Facebook will display advertisements on Facebook, Instagram or other websites cooperating with Facebook that resemble your profile.

The Facebook pixel, which is integrated on our website and on Facebook partner pages, also recognizes whether you are the owner of a Facebook account and use it based on the Facebook cookie set. Via the Facebook pixel, the generated data about your usage behavior is forwarded to Facebook. Your Facebook ID is also transferred, which enables a data link on Facebook pages. If you would like to check this data recording, further processing and the general use of the data and/or deactivate this procedure, you can do this directly in the settings of your Facebook account.

The use of the Facebook pixel as well as the storage of "conversion cookies" is only carried out if you have given your consent to the use of cookies and similar procedures when visiting our website. The legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a), Art. 49 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR. In addition to the general revocation options, you can also revoke the consent you have given by clicking the following link. This will delete the Facebook pixel:

Deactivate Facebook Pixel.

In order to set directly on Facebook which types of advertisements are displayed to you within Facebook, you can access the page set up by Facebook and follow the instructions there on the settings for usage-based advertising. The settings are platform-independent, i.e. they are applied to all devices, such as desktop computers or mobile devices. You can also object to the use of cookies for audience measurement and advertising purposes via the deactivation page of the Network Advertising Initiative and additionally via the US website aboutads.info or the European website youronlinechoices.com

Further information on data processing by Facebook can be found in the Facebook Data Usage Policy. There you will find general information on the display of Facebook adverts Further information on the Facebook pixel can be found in the Facebook help section.

We use YouTube to integrate videos on our website, a service of Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. You can play the videos, which are stored on https://www.youtube.com, directly from our website. The videos are integrated in “extended data protection mode,” which means that no data regarding you as a YouTube user is saved unless you click on the videos to play them. Nevertheless, YouTube does contact the Google service Double Click. According to YouTube, no data is stored in this case. Your IP address and the information that you viewed the video will be stored by YouTube only if you play the videos. If you are logged in to YouTube, this information will also be associated with your user account on YouTube. If you do not want this to occur, you must log out of your YouTube account before playing the video. Therefore, we have no influence over the manner in which data is collected or processed by YouTube. The legal basis for the data transmission is your consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a), Art. 49 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR.

For further information on data processing by YouTube, see the YouTube data privacy declaration, which is available at https://policies.google.com/privacy.

We use Google Maps, a map service of Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, to display location-based information or our locations to you, such as generation locations or charging stations with optional additional information. If you use the map function on our website, Google Maps will process your IP address. This information is generally transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. The legal basis is your consent granted in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a), Art. 49 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR.

For further information on data processing by Google Maps, see the Google Maps data privacy declaration, which is available at https://policies.google.com/privacy.

We use the Outbrain Pixel of our contractual partner Outbrain UK Ltd, 5th Floor, The Place,175 High Holborn, London, WC1V 7AA, United Kingdom, a technology of Outbrain Inc, 39 W 13th Street New York, NY 10011 USA on our website. The Outbrain service enables us to target those users with advertising who have already shown interest in our offers on our websites. The Outbrain pixel uses a unique identifier (Universally Unique Identifier (UUID)) to recognize you on other websites. The information required for this, as well as the information that you have visited our website, which browser and which device you are using, is stored in cookies on your computer and transmitted to Outbrain. In addition, Outbrain uses the IP address shortened by the last octet to obtain your approximate geolocation. The pseudonymous profiles created in this way will be saved by Outbrain for 13 months. Based on these pseudonymous profiles, however, it is not possible for Outbrain to directly identify you as a person. Outbrain further decides which content you might be interested in and plays corresponding content to you. The decision about what content you see is made based on your previous viewed content, similar browsing patterns of other users, recommendations that are current among Outbrain's addressees at the given time, a certain degree of randomness, and targeting requirements specified by advertisers. The legal basis for this is the declaration of consent given by you when you access this website within the framework of our cookie banner (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a), Art 49 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR). In addition to the general withdrawal options, you can also use the following link to withdraw your consent and prevent Outbrain from collecting data within this website in the future: https://my.outbrain.com/recommendations-settings/home .

We use the “TikTok Pixel” on our website, a tracking technology from the social network “TikTok” from TikTok Technology Limited, 10 Earlsfort Terrace, Dublin, D02 T380, Ireland ("TikTok").

A pixel (small text files saved on the device used) is used to collect information regarding surfing behaviour on our website in a pseudonymised form, then transmit this information to TikTok where it is stored and analysed in order to make it possible to display personalised product recommendations on TikTok based on the user’s interests. Accordingly, we use the TikTok Pixel to display our TikTok ads only to TikTok users who have shown interest in our online services, or who have certain characteristics which we transmit to TikTok. The TikTok Pixel also allows us to review the success of the TikTok ads we place.

In general, the information which is collected and processed in pseudonymised form includes the device ID, device type, time stamp, operating system used and IP address.

Such storage of information using the TikTok Pixel or access to information previously stored on your device is carried out only with your consent in accordance with Sec. 25 para. 1 TTDSG (Telecommunications - Telemedia Data protection Act) in conjunction with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR.

In general, your data is processed within the EU or EEA. If, in an individual case, personal data is transmitted to countries outside of the EU or EEA, then this is done only if you have granted your consent to do so according to Art. 49 para. 1 lit. a GDPR.

Data stored by TikTok using the Pixel will be deleted after 18 months at the latest.

General information on data protection at TikTok is available here.

We use conversion tracking from Microsoft Corporation, One Microsoft Way, Redmond, WA 98052-6399, USA on our website. Microsoft Advertising places online advertisements in the search engines Bing, Ecosia, Yahoo and on Microsoft partner websites. As soon as a user clicks on a Microsoft Advertising ad, Microsoft sets a cookie, i.e. a small text file that is stored on the user's computer. This cookie makes it possible to recognize that the user has reached a previously determined website of our website, the so-called "conversion page", via this advertisement. The cookie does not collect any personal data; we only receive the total number of users who clicked on such an ad and were redirected to our conversion page. The information collected in the cookie is transmitted to Microsoft servers in the USA. The cookie is automatically deleted after 180 days at the latest. We also use universal event tracking (UET) from Microsoft.

This technology makes it possible to track what users do after clicking on our Microsoft Advertising ad on our website. For example, we can see which advertisement the user in question came to our website via, which subpages he or she visits on our website, the time spent on our website or whether the user makes a purchase. For this purpose, we have installed a so-called tag on our website, a code which, in conjunction with the conversion tracking cookie described above, is used to collect the aforementioned information.

Pinterest Pixel is used on our websites. This is a JavaScript code snippet that enables us to track the activities of our website visitors.

Pinterest Pixel is used by Pinterest Inc. (808 Brannan Street, San Francisco, CA 94103, USA). With regard to the European region, the Irish company Pinterest Europe Ltd. (Palmerston House, 2nd Floor, Fenian Street, Dublin 2, Ireland), is responsible for all aspects that are relevant to data protection.

Use of Pinterest Pixel as well as the storage of “Conversion Cookies” only apply if you have granted your consent to the use of Cookies and similar procedures when visiting our website. By way of Pinterest Pixels, Pinterest is able to determine you as a target group to display of advertisements (so-called “Pinterest Ads”) as a result of your visit to our website and interest in our online range of services. To make this possible, we use Pinterest Pixel to display our placed Pinterest Ads only to those Pinterest users who have also shown an interest in our online range of services or who have certain characteristics. A certain characteristic could, for example, be the interest in a certain product, which could be defined by the website visit. The information collected is forwarded to Pinterest (so-called “Customer Audiences”).

We do not have access to this information ourselves. With the support of Pinterest Pixel, we aim to ensure that our Pinterest advertisements correspond with users’ potential interest. By way of Pinterest Pixel, we can track the impact of Pinterest advertisements for statistical and market research purposes by seeing whether network visitors have been redirected to our website after clicking a Pinterest advertisement (so-called “Conversion Tracking”).

Example 1 for Custom Audiences (Remarketing):

You visit our website, are interested in an electricity tariff and Pinterest makes further relevant information about the respective product available to you on our behalf via a Pinterest advertisement at a later date based on your interests, The advertising offer geared towards your interests is subsequently displayed to you on Pinterest.

Example 2 for Custom Audiences (Actalikes):

You visit our website and are interested in an electricity tariff. On the basis of your interest in our product and your profile characteristics, Pinterest displays advertisements on our behalf to network members on Pinterest with a profile similar to yours.

In addition, Pinterest Pixel, which is incorporated in our website and on Pinterest’s partner pages, recognises on the basis of the set Pinterest Cookies whether you hold and use a Pinterest account. The data generated about your usage behaviour are forwarded to Pinterest via Pinterest Pixel. Your Pinterest ID is also forwarded, which facilitates the creation of a data link on Pinterest pages. If you would like to review such data collection, the further processing and the general use of the data and / deactivate this procedure, then you can do this directly in the settings of your Pinterest account.

As a matter of principle, Pinterest stores the collected data until they are no longer required for the company’s purposes. As soon as the storing of data is no longer required, for example to comply with legal requirements, the data shall either be erased or anonymised so that you can no longer be identified as a person. Pinterest also processes your data in the USA, among other places. We draw attention to the fact that according to the opinion of the European Court of Justice, there is currently no adequate level of protection for the transfer of data to the USA. This may entail various risks for the legality and security of data processing. Pinterest uses so-called Standard Contractual Clauses as a basis for the processing of data in the case of recipients who have a registered office in third countries (outside the European Union, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, i.e. in particular in the USA) or the forwarding of data there (= Article 46 (2) and (3), GDPR). Standard Contractual Clauses, SCC, are templates made available by the EU Commission and are aimed at ensuring that your data comply with the European data protection standards if they are forwarded to third countries (such as the USA) and stored there. By way of these clauses, Pinterest undertakes when processing your relevant data to comply with the European data protection standards, including if the data are stored, processed and administered in the USA. The clauses are based on an EU Commission implementing decision. You can find the decision, and the corresponding Standard Contractual Clauses, inter alia, here. Furthermore, please see Pinterest’s Data Guidelines for more detailed information.

Use of Pinterest Pixel as well as the storage of “Conversion Cookies” only apply if you have granted your consent to the use of Cookies and similar procedures when visiting our website. The legal basis is Article 6(1), point (a), Article 49(1), point (a), GDPR. In addition to the general withdrawal options, you can also withdraw your granted consent via the button below. This will delete Pinterest Pixel:

Deactivate Pinterest Pixel

To adjust a setting directly in Pinterest in respect of the type of advertisements that Pinterest displays to you, you can call up the page set up by Pinterest and process your personal settings there. The settings are platform-independent, i.e. they are applied to all devices, such as desktop computers or mobile devices. You can also object to the use of Cookies for audience measurement and advertising purposes via the deactivation page of the Network Advertising Initiative and additionally via the US website aboutads.info or the European website youronlinechoices.com.

You can obtain further information about data processing by Pinterest in the Pinterest Advertising Guidelines. In addition, you can obtain general information about the display of Pinterest advertisements in the Advertising Data Provisions.

Our website uses the LinkedIn Insight Tag to analyze user behavior and deliver our marketing campaigns based on interests. LinkedIn Insight Tag is a service provided by LinkedIn Corporation (1000 W. Maude Avenue, Sunnyvale, CA 94085, United States). For the European region, the service is provided by LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company (Wilton Plaza, Wilton Place, Dublin 2, Ireland).

LinkedIn Insight Tag creates a LinkedIn browser cookie in a visitor's browser on the enbw.com website and enables the collection of the following data for this cookie: IP address, timestamp and page events (e.g. page views). The IP addresses are shortened or (if they are used to reach members across devices) cashed.

The members' direct identifiers are removed within seven days in order to pseudonymize the data. This remaining pseudonymized data is then deleted within 180 days. LinkedIn does not share any personal data with us, but only provides reports (in which you are not identified) about the website target group and ad performance. You can find more information about this here.

Data processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) and Art. 49 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR (consent); this is a third country transfer. Details can be found under point 5. If you have not consented to marketing cookies, the LinkedIn Insight tag will not be set. Apart from this, you can revoke your consent at any time, as explained at the beginning in the general section.

We use Active Agent as part of our online marketing activities. The provider of Active Agent is Virtual Minds GmbH (https://virtualminds.com/), Ellen-Gottlieb-Straße 16, 79106 Freiburg im Breisgau, Germany. Active Agent is used on our website as a demand-side platform (DSP) and serves to support us in purchasing advertising space. When you visit our website, Active Agent sets cookies in order to tailor the delivery of advertising to target groups and interests. An advertising ID is stored in the cookie for this purpose.

However, you cannot be personally identified via the category assigned to the advertising ID because the categories always refer to a larger group of people. You can find more information on the collection and use of data by Active Agent at https://virtualminds.com/privacy-center/.

The legal basis for this is the declaration of consent given by you when you access this website as part of our cookie banner (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR). You can withdraw your consent at any time with effect for the future. If you do not wish Active Agent to collect data, you can withdraw your consent at any time by clicking on the following link: https://adfarm1.adition.com/opt?n=all&m=optout&cbu=https://virtualminds.com/opt-in-opt-out-success-adition/

In addition, we can make you more suitable offers which are highly likely to be of interest to you. In addition, we can use the customer profile to offer you advice tailored to your personal needs and give you more transparency regarding your energy consumption and costs and help you avoid unnecessary consumption.

In the following, we wish to inform you about how your data is handled pursuant to Article 13 of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) when you visit one of our social media / applicant websites. We are present on the following social media / applicant websites:

• XING: xing.com/enbw
• YouTube: youtube.com/enbw

In addition to us, there is also the operator of the respective social media / applicant platform. These operators also process data, although we have only limited influence on how they do this. In instances where we are able to exert influence and set parameters in relation to the processing of data, we work within the scope of the options available to us to ensure that the operator of the social media / applicant platform handles the data in line with data protection regulations. In many instances, however, we have no influence on how data is processed by the operator of the social media / applicant platform. However, the respective operators will provide further information in their individual privacy policies.

The data you enter on our social media / applicant websites – including comments, questions, videos, pictures, likes, public messages, job preferences and selection, etc. – will be published by the operator of the social media / applicant platform and only used or processed by us for the purposes set out below. We reserve the right to delete content if this is deemed necessary. We may share your content on our site, if this is a feature of the website, and communicate with you via the website.

The legal basis for this is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Data is processed in the interest of our PR work, applicant search and communication activities.

If you wish to object to the processing of certain data on which we have an influence, please contact the relevant person mentioned in the legal notice. We will then review your objection.

From time to time, you may have the opportunity to enter competitions on our social media platforms. For the purpose of running a competition, we process your data (name, address, e-mail address and, where necessary, other data needed for the competition). We process your data for the purpose of checking eligibility to enter, determining and notifying the winner, sending the prize and, where appropriate, publishing the details of the winner. Your data will not be shared with third parties, unless it is necessary to share the data for the purpose of running the competition or sending the prize and we have the authority to transmit data under data protection law. We generally delete your data two months after the competition has ended.

The legal basis for processing this data as described is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (competition contract).

On the social media and applicant websites operated by us, you will find links to different company profiles on social media and applicant platforms. You will recognize the links to the websites of the social media services by the respective company logo, for example. If you follow these links, you will be redirected to our company profile on the respective social media service. When clicking on a link to a social media service, a connection to the servers of the social media service is established. This in turn transmits information to the servers of the social media service that you have visited our website. Furthermore, additional data is transmitted to the provider of the social media service. This includes:

• The website address from where the link was activated
• The date and time when the website was accessed or link was activated
• Information about the browser and operating system used
• The IP address

If you are already logged in to the relevant social media service at the time the link is activated, the provider of the social media service may be able to determine your username and possibly even your real name from the transmitted data and assign this information to your personal user account with the social media service. You can prevent the possibility of this information being assigned to your personal user account by logging out of your user account beforehand.

The servers used by the social media services are located in the USA and other countries outside the European Union. The data may therefore also be processed by the provider of the social media service in countries outside the European Union. Please note that companies in these countries are subject to data protection laws that generally do not provide the same level of protection for personal data as those in the member states of the European Union.

Please note that we have no influence on the scope, manner and purpose of data processing by the provider of the social media service. For further information on how your data is used by the social media services embedded in our website, please refer to the privacy policy of the respective social media service.

You can get in touch with us via some of our social media and applicant websites. We process your data in order to respond to your inquiry and, where necessary, send you requested information material. Your data may be forwarded to the office responsible for dealing with your matter. This office may also be a third party. Data will only be forwarded if we have the authority to forward data under data protection law.

The legal basis for processing this data as described is Art. 6(1)(b) and (f) GDPR (pre-contractual measure, performance of a contract or weighing of interests, based on the company’s interest in responding to inquiries from customers, applicants and other persons).

If you submit an inquiry to us on the social media platform, we may also direct you to other, secure communication channels that guarantee confidentiality, depending on the kind of response required.

You always have the option of sending us confidential inquiries to our address stated in the legal notice.

We evaluate the results of our (marketing) activities on our social media and applicant websites in order to measure the effectiveness and relevance of our online presence. We determine the success of our activities in order to continuously improve our (marketing) activities in your interest and plan new measures.

We only have limited influence on statistics supplied to us by the operator of the social media / applicant platform (in particular information on page views, etc.) and are unable to switch them off. However, we do make sure that we are not supplied with any additional optional statistics.

The legal basis for processing this data as described is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (weighing of interests, based on the interest of EnBW AG in measuring the success of advertising measures).

As already stated, where the operator of the social media / applicant platform gives us the opportunity, we make sure that our social media / applicant websites comply with data protection regulations to the greatest possible extent.

The operator of the social media / applicant website uses web tracking methods. Web tracking may also take place regardless of whether you are logged in or registered with the platform. Unfortunately, as already explained, we have little influence on the web tracking methods used by the platform. We are unable to switch them off, for example.

It cannot be ruled out that the operator of the platform may use your profile and behavioral data to evaluate details such as your habits, personal relationships, preferences, etc. In this respect, we have no influence on how the operator of the platform processes your data.

The operator of the platform is responsible for providing more detailed information on how it processes data. Further options for objecting can be found in the privacy policy of the respective operator:

We offer our customers and interested parties the possibility to communicate with us via Facebook Messenger (a product of Facebook Inc., 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA). Should you decide to use this option, please note the following:

we would like to point out that the chat history cannot be deleted by us or by you. In the event of the exchange of contract-relevant information, we will store this data in our system for verification purposes. The legal basis for data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b) GDPR. Please refer to the data protection information of your contract concluded with us for the storage period of the data stored for verification purposes. However, we would like to point out that we have no influence on the data processing by Facebook. Please note that a Facebook chat can be unencrypted and Facebook therefore has access to the content of our communication. You can tell whether the chat is encrypted by the fact that a padlock symbol is displayed in the profile picture within Facebook Messenger. Further information on the use of data by Facebook is available at https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/.

On our website, we have integrated so-called news feeds from social networks such as Facebook and X. When visiting our website, these news feeds are disabled by default. This means that no data is sent to the respective social networks if you don't activate the news feeds. To activate the news feeds, you must start by clicking them. The news feed then remains activated until the browser window is closed. As soon as you have activated the respective news feed, a direct connection is established with the server of the respective social network. This way, the content of the news feed is transmitted to your browser and integrated into the displayed website. By activation, the information you accessed on our website is transmitted to the operator of the respective social network. If, during your visit to our website, you are logged in to the social network via your personal user account, the social network can assign the website visit to your account. This applies regardless of whether you actually use the news feed after activation, or not. Through interaction with the news feed, e.g. by leaving a comment, this corresponding information is transmitted directly to the respective social network and stored there. The legal basis for the transmission of data to the respective social network is your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR), which you give by activating the respective news feed. We would like to point out that we have no influence on the extent of the data collected by the social networks via the news feeds. The scope and the purposes of data processing pursued by the social networks, as well as your related rights and setting options for the protection of your privacy can be found in the data privacy information of the respective social networks.

Personal data received will be deleted or anonymized if it is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was created or if you withdraw your consent.

Insofar as we are subject to legal obligations that make further processing of your data necessary, we will also process your data for the purposes provided by law.

We also transfer your data to service providers and data recipients located in third countries outside the EU or EEA. Compliance with an adequate level of data protection is ensured on the basis of adequacy decisions pursuant to Art. 45 GDPR or by other appropriate guarantees pursuant to Art. 46 et seq. GDPR. Please note that in the event of data being transferred to third countries, there may nevertheless be a fundamental risk that there is no adequate level of data protection in accordance with European law and that the rights of data subjects may not be fully enforceable. In the case of data transfers based on Art. 46 et seq. DSGVO, you can request a copy of the relevant guarantees from us using the contact details above. Further information on international data transfers can also be found on the pages of the EU Commission.

In particular for data transfers by way of administration access from third countries is possible, as often the operational capability of the systems is ensured according to the follow-the-sun principle. In these cases, data access also only takes place if compliance with an appropriate level of data protection is ensured.

Our website may contain links to other providers to whom our data protection provisions do not extend.

EnBW uses state-of-the-art technical and organisational security measures to protect the data you provide us from accidental or deliberate manipulation, loss, destruction or access by unauthorised persons. Our security measures are continuously improved in line with technological developments.
