4. Scope of Data Collection and Storage

In general, it is not necessary for you to provide personal data in order to use our website. However, in order for us to actually provide our services, we may need your personal data. This applies when registering for courses or seminars, when sending information material, when registering for our newsletter and also when answering individual enquiries. In these cases, we collect and store your personal data only to the extent necessary to provide the service or to execute the contract. For this purpose, it may be necessary to pass on your personal data to companies that we use to provide the service or implement the contract. These are for example transport companies or other service providers. If you have registered for our newsletter with your e-mail address, we will use your e-mail address for our own advertising purposes beyond the execution of the contract until you unsubscribe from the newsletter.

5. etracker

The provider of this website uses the services of etracker GmbH from Hamburg, Germany (www.etracker.com) to analyze use data. Cookies are used to enable a statistical analysis of the use of this website by its visitors and to display use-related content or advertising. Cookies are small text files that are stored by the Internet browser on the user's end device. Etracker cookies do not contain any information that would allow a user to be identified.

The data generated with etracker is processed and stored by etracker on behalf of the provider of this website exclusively in Germany and is therefore subject to the strict German and European data protection laws and standards. Etracker has been independently tested, certified and awarded the ePrivacyseal data protection seal of approval.

Data processing is carried out on the legal basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit f (legitimate interest) of the EU Data Protection Basic Regulation (EU-DSGVO). Our legitimate interest lies in the optimization of our online offer and our web presence. Since the privacy of our visitors is particularly important to us, the IP address is anonymized at etracker as soon as possible and login or device IDs are converted into a unique key at etracker, but not assigned to a person. Etracker does not use the data in any other way, merge it with other data or pass it on to third parties.

6. Google

This website uses GoogleRemarketing. This is a service of Google Inc. ("Google"). Google uses so-called "cookies" for this purpose. These are text files which are stored on your computer and which enable an analysis of your use of our website. The information thus generated about your use of this website (including your IP address) is transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. The IP address is then shortened by Google by the last three digits, making it impossible to clearly assign the IP address. Google will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of the website and providing other services relating to website activity and internet usage. Google may also transfer this information to third parties if this is legally required or if third parties process this data on behalf of Google. Third party providers, including Google, place advertisements on websites. Third parties, including Google, use stored cookies to serve ads based on a user's previous visits to this website. Google will not associate your IP address with any other data. You may refuse the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser software. You can deactivate the use of cookies by Google by calling up the page with advertising specifications. Alternatively, users can deactivate the use of cookies by third parties by visiting the deactivation page of the network advertising initiative.
