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

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.

Google Analytics

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"). This allows us to analyze our website for statistical purposes, exclusively for the purpose of measuring its range without the formation of profiles. The cookie generates information about your use of our websites, which in turn can be graphically processed and visualized via the Google Data Studio software. Google Data Studio only accesses data already generated from GA. Rudimentary processing of cookies for statistical purposes that is purely related to your individual website session is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest results from the aforementioned purposes. The duration of the cookie, i.e. how long the collected information is stored, is consequently 30 minutes after you have become inactive. Your session is thus terminated and it is consequently guaranteed that you will not be recognized over several sessions. 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 withdrawal, you can 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..

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 "marketing and personalization" 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, cookies 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 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.

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.

We use ONE technology from Thunderhead ONE Limited (company no. 08115007), Stanford Building, 27A Floral St, London WC2E 9EZ. Here a ONE 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 Thunderhead, on setting and objection options as well as on data protection, please refer to the following website of Thunderhead: https://www.thunderhead.com/our-product/the-thunderhead-trust-center/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 Thunderhead 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. Thunderhead 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.

On our website, we use a service from YouTube LLC, 901 Cherry Avenue, San Bruno, CA 94066, USA for the integration of videos. The videos are stored at http://www.YouTube.com. You can play these videos directly from our website. The videos are all embedded in "enhanced privacy mode", which means that no information about you as a YouTube user will be stored unless you play the videos. Nevertheless, YouTube will contact Google's Double Click service and, according to YouTube, no data will be stored in this case. Only when you play the videos will your IP address and the information that you have watched the video be saved by YouTube. If you are logged in to YouTube, this information is also assigned to your YouTube user account. If you do not wish this to happen, you will need to log out of your YouTube account before playing the video. We have no influence on the data recording and processing by YouTube. You can find more detailed information about the data processing by YouTube in their privacy policy. You can find this at www.google.de/intl/en/policies/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 .

For more information about Outbrain's data processing, please visit: https://www.outbrain.com/legal/privacy.

By a personal customer profile, we mean a data base consisting of the following data:

1. Data that is collected during the use of our digital offers regarding your online usage behaviour
   By this, we mean data that is collected when you visit our website and our social media presence, when you use one of our apps and when we send you our newsletter or push notifications. In detail, this includes information about which pages you view, when and how long you visit us or use our apps, whether you read our newsletter and which devices you use for this purpose. Which data is collected in detail and on the basis of which legal basis within the scope of the respective digital offer is explained in the data protection information of the respective digital offer.
2. Customer and contract-related data
   By this we mean data which we have received from you within the framework of a pre-contractual or contractual relationship. This includes, for example, your name, contact details, contractual details such as your tariff and consumption and also technical or constructional data insofar as it was collected within the scope of our (pre-)contractual relationship (e.g. roof area, system performance data).
3. Further information made available
   By this we mean all data which you yourself have given us outside our contractual or pre-contractual relationship or which you have generated using our applications. This can be, for example, your expressed interest in one of our products or services, but also, for example, an indication of an impending move or other changes to your home, which could have an impact on the tariff that is best for you. Another example is when you use our e-mobility driving simulation to find out whether an e-car could be useful for you.
4. Data that we collect in the course of your communication with us
   By this we mean data that we collect in connection with a communication with you in addition to the information provided in terms of content. This concerns in particular our assessment of your satisfaction.

If you have given your consent to the creation of a personal customer profile, this data will be combined and evaluated on a personal basis.

On our website, we have integrated so-called news feeds from social networks such as Facebook andTwitter. 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.

In addition, we also process the feedback you provide in conjunction with informational, service, or product offers created for individual customers.

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. The legal basis for this data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c) GDPR in conjunction with the norm which contains the respective legal obligation.

Data will also be processed if and to the extent that you have consented to data processing in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. The purposes of the data processing result from the respective consent.

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 or adequate guarantees pursuant to Art. 46 et seq. GDPR. Our service providers in third countries process the data in accordance with our instructions and are bound by contract. In the event of data being transferred to a third country, there may nevertheless be a 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 detail, we transfer your data to the following third countries:

• IT service providers in the USA: the adequate level of data protection is ensured by means of standard contractual clauses (template can be accessed here: https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/law-topic/data-protection/international-dimension-data-protection/standard-contractual-clauses-scc)
• IT service provider in the UK: The adequate level of data protection is ensured by an adequacy decision of the European Commission (available at: https://ec.europa.eu/info/sites/default/files/decision_on_the_adequate_protection_of_personal_data_by_the_united_kingdom_-_general_data_protection_regulation_de.pdf)

Data transfers from another country are also possible through administrative access, as system operability is often ensured based on the "follow-the-sun" principle. However, your data will not be stored in other countries. In these cases, data will only be accessed if we have ensured that an adequate level of data protection is maintained.

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