We have concluded a data proces­sing agree­ment (DPA) for the use of the above-mentio­ned service. This is a contract manda­ted by data privacy laws that guaran­tees that they process perso­nal data of our website visitors only based on our instruc­tions and in compli­ance with the GDPR.

3. General infor­ma­tion and manda­tory infor­ma­tion

Data protec­tion

The opera­tors of this website and its pages take the protec­tion of your perso­nal data very seriously. Hence, we handle your perso­nal data as confi­den­tial infor­ma­tion and in compli­ance with the statu­tory data protec­tion regula­ti­ons and this Data Protec­tion Decla­ra­tion.

Whenever you use this website, a variety of perso­nal infor­ma­tion will be collec­ted. Perso­nal data compri­ses data that can be used to perso­nally identify you. This Data Protec­tion Decla­ra­tion explains which data we collect as well as the purpo­ses we use this data for. It also explains how, and for which purpose the infor­ma­tion is collec­ted.

We herewith advise you that the trans­mis­sion of data via the Inter­net (i.e., through e‑mail commu­ni­ca­ti­ons) may be prone to security gaps. It is not possi­ble to comple­tely protect data against third-party access.

Infor­ma­tion about the respon­si­ble party (refer­red to as the “control­ler” in the GDPR)

The data proces­sing control­ler on this website is:

Dr. med. Ludger Joachim Maria Meyer
Brien­ner Str. 14
80333 München

Phone: 089 / 217 549 430
E‑mail: info@villa-bella.org

The control­ler is the natural person or legal entity that single-handedly or jointly with others makes decis­i­ons as to the purpo­ses of and resour­ces for the proces­sing of perso­nal data (e.g., names, e‑mail addres­ses, etc.).

Storage duration

Unless a more speci­fic storage period has been speci­fied in this privacy policy, your perso­nal data will remain with us until the purpose for which it was collec­ted no longer applies. If you assert a justi­fied request for deletion or revoke your consent to data proces­sing, your data will be deleted, unless we have other legally permis­si­ble reasons for storing your perso­nal data (e.g., tax or commer­cial law reten­tion periods); in the latter case, the deletion will take place after these reasons cease to apply.

General infor­ma­tion on the legal basis for the data proces­sing on this website

If you have consen­ted to data proces­sing, we process your perso­nal data on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR or Art. 9 (2)(a) GDPR, if special catego­ries of data are proces­sed accor­ding to Art. 9 (1) DSGVO. In the case of expli­cit consent to the trans­fer of perso­nal data to third count­ries, the data proces­sing is also based on Art. 49 (1)(a) GDPR. If you have consen­ted to the storage of cookies or to the access to infor­ma­tion in your end device (e.g., via device finger­prin­ting), the data proces­sing is additio­nally based on § 25 (1) TTDSG. The consent can be revoked at any time. If your data is requi­red for the fulfill­ment of a contract or for the imple­men­ta­tion of pre-contrac­tual measu­res, we process your data on the basis of Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR. Further­more, if your data is requi­red for the fulfill­ment of a legal obliga­tion, we process it on the basis of Art. 6(1)© GDPR. Further­more, the data proces­sing may be carried out on the basis of our legiti­mate interest accor­ding to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Infor­ma­tion on the relevant legal basis in each indivi­dual case is provi­ded in the follo­wing paragraphs of this privacy policy.

Infor­ma­tion on the data trans­fer to third-party count­ries that are not secure under data protec­tion law and the trans­fer to US compa­nies that are not DPF-certi­fied

We use, among other techno­lo­gies, tools from compa­nies located in third-party count­ries that are not safe under data protec­tion law, as well as US tools whose provi­ders are not certi­fied under the EU-US Data Privacy Frame­work (DPF). If these tools are enabled, your perso­nal data may be trans­fer­red to and proces­sed in these count­ries. We would like you to note that no level of data protec­tion compa­ra­ble to that in the EU can be guaran­teed in third count­ries that are insecure in terms of data protec­tion law.

We would like to point out that the US, as a secure third-party country, generally has a level of data protec­tion compa­ra­ble to that of the EU. Data trans­fer to the US is there­fore permit­ted if the recipi­ent is certi­fied under the “EU-US Data Privacy Frame­work” (DPF) or has appro­priate additio­nal assuran­ces. Infor­ma­tion on trans­fers to third-party count­ries, inclu­ding the data recipi­ents, can be found in this Privacy Policy.

Recipi­ents of perso­nal data

In the scope of our business activi­ties, we coope­rate with various exter­nal parties. In some cases, this also requi­res the trans­fer of perso­nal data to these exter­nal parties. We only disclose perso­nal data to exter­nal parties if this is requi­red as part of the fulfill­ment of a contract, if we are legally obliga­ted to do so (e.g., disclo­sure of data to tax autho­ri­ties), if we have a legiti­mate interest in the disclo­sure pursu­ant to Art. 6 (1)(f) GDPR, or if another legal basis permits the disclo­sure of this data. When using proces­sors, we only disclose perso­nal data of our custo­mers on the basis of a valid contract on data proces­sing. In the case of joint proces­sing, a joint proces­sing agree­ment is concluded.

Revoca­tion of your consent to the proces­sing of data

A wide range of data proces­sing transac­tions are possi­ble only subject to your express consent. You can also revoke at any time any consent you have already given us. This shall be without preju­dice to the lawful­ness of any data collec­tion that occur­red prior to your revoca­tion.

Right to object to the collec­tion of data in special cases; right to object to direct adver­ti­sing (Art. 21 GDPR)

IN THE EVENT THAT DATA ARE PROCESSED ON THE BASIS OF ART. 6(1)(E) OR (F) GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO AT ANY TIME OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA BASED ON GROUNDS ARISING FROM YOUR UNIQUE SITUATION. THIS ALSO APPLIES TO ANY PROFILING BASED ON THESE PROVISIONS. TO DETERMINE THE LEGAL BASIS, ON WHICH ANY PROCESSING OF DATA IS BASED, PLEASE CONSULT THIS DATA PROTECTION DECLARATION. IF YOU LOG AN OBJECTION, WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR AFFECTED PERSONAL DATA, UNLESS WE ARE IN A POSITION TO PRESENT COMPELLING PROTECTION WORTHY GROUNDS FOR THE PROCESSING OF YOUR DATA, THAT OUTWEIGH YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS OR IF THE PURPOSE OF THE PROCESSING IS THE CLAIMING, EXERCISING OR DEFENCE OF LEGAL ENTITLEMENTS (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21(1) GDPR).

IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA IS BEING PROCESSED IN ORDER TO ENGAGE IN DIRECT ADVERTISING, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR AFFECTED PERSONAL DATA FOR THE PURPOSES OF SUCH ADVERTISING AT ANY TIME. THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING TO THE EXTENT THAT IT IS AFFILIATED WITH SUCH DIRECT ADVERTISING. IF YOU OBJECT, YOUR PERSONAL DATA WILL SUBSEQUENTLY NO LONGER BE USED FOR DIRECT ADVERTISING PURPOSES (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21(2) GDPR).

Right to log a complaint with the compe­tent super­vi­sory agency

In the event of viola­ti­ons of the GDPR, data subjects are entit­led to log a complaint with a super­vi­sory agency, in parti­cu­lar in the member state where they usually maintain their domic­ile, place of work or at the place where the alleged viola­tion occur­red. The right to log a complaint is in effect regard­less of any other adminis­tra­tive or court procee­dings available as legal recour­ses.

Right to data porta­bi­lity

You have the right to have data that we process automa­ti­cally on the basis of your consent or in fulfill­ment of a contract handed over to you or to a third party in a common, machine-reada­ble format. If you should demand the direct trans­fer of the data to another control­ler, this will be done only if it is techni­cally feasi­ble.

Infor­ma­tion about, recti­fi­ca­tion and eradi­ca­tion of data

Within the scope of the appli­ca­ble statu­tory provi­si­ons, you have the right to demand infor­ma­tion about your archi­ved perso­nal data, their source and recipi­ents as well as the purpose of the proces­sing of your data at any time. You may also have a right to have your data recti­fied or eradi­ca­ted. If you have questi­ons about this subject matter or any other questi­ons about perso­nal data, please do not hesitate to contact us at any time.

Right to demand proces­sing restric­tions

You have the right to demand the imposi­tion of restric­tions as far as the proces­sing of your perso­nal data is concer­ned. To do so, you may contact us at any time. The right to demand restric­tion of proces­sing applies in the follo­wing cases:

• In the event that you should dispute the correct­ness of your data archi­ved by us, we will usually need some time to verify this claim. During the time that this inves­ti­ga­tion is ongoing, you have the right to demand that we restrict the proces­sing of your perso­nal data.
• If the proces­sing of your perso­nal data was/is conduc­ted in an unlawful manner, you have the option to demand the restric­tion of the proces­sing of your data instead of deman­ding the eradi­ca­tion of this data.
• If we do not need your perso­nal data any longer and you need it to exercise, defend or claim legal entit­le­ments, you have the right to demand the restric­tion of the proces­sing of your perso­nal data instead of its eradi­ca­tion.
• If you have raised an objec­tion pursu­ant to Art. 21(1) GDPR, your rights and our rights will have to be weighed against each other. As long as it has not been deter­mi­ned whose interests prevail, you have the right to demand a restric­tion of the proces­sing of your perso­nal data.

If you have restric­ted the proces­sing of your perso­nal data, these data – with the excep­tion of their archi­ving – may be proces­sed only subject to your consent or to claim, exercise or defend legal entit­le­ments or to protect the rights of other natural persons or legal entities or for important public interest reasons cited by the European Union or a member state of the EU.

SSL and/or TLS encryp­tion

For security reasons and to protect the trans­mis­sion of confi­den­tial content, such as purchase orders or inqui­ries you submit to us as the website opera­tor, this website uses either an SSL or a TLS encryp­tion program. You can recognize an encrypted connec­tion by checking whether the address line of the browser switches from “http://” to “https://” and also by the appearance of the lock icon in the browser line.

If the SSL or TLS encryp­tion is activa­ted, data you trans­mit to us cannot be read by third parties.

4. Recor­ding of data on this website

Cookies

Our websites and pages use what the indus­try refers to as “cookies.” Cookies are small data packa­ges that do not cause any damage to your device. They are either stored tempo­r­a­rily for the duration of a session (session cookies) or they are perma­nently archi­ved on your device (perma­nent cookies). Session cookies are automa­ti­cally deleted once you termi­nate your visit. Perma­nent cookies remain archi­ved on your device until you actively delete them, or they are automa­ti­cally eradi­ca­ted by your web browser.

Cookies can be issued by us (first-party cookies) or by third-party compa­nies (so-called third-party cookies). Third-party cookies enable the integra­tion of certain services of third-party compa­nies into websites (e.g., cookies for handling payment services).

Cookies have a variety of functions. Many cookies are techni­cally essen­tial since certain website functions would not work in the absence of these cookies (e.g., the shopping cart function or the display of videos). Other cookies may be used to analyze user behavior or for promo­tio­nal purpo­ses.

Cookies, which are requi­red for the perfor­mance of electro­nic commu­ni­ca­tion transac­tions, for the provi­sion of certain functions you want to use (e.g., for the shopping cart function) or those that are neces­sary for the optimiza­tion (requi­red cookies) of the website (e.g., cookies that provide measura­ble insights into the web audience), shall be stored on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, unless a diffe­rent legal basis is cited. The opera­tor of the website has a legiti­mate interest in the storage of requi­red cookies to ensure the techni­cally error-free and optimi­zed provi­sion of the operator’s services. If your consent to the storage of the cookies and similar recogni­tion techno­lo­gies has been reques­ted, the proces­sing occurs exclu­si­vely on the basis of the consent obtai­ned (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25 (1) TTDSG); this consent may be revoked at any time.

You have the option to set up your browser in such a manner that you will be notified any time cookies are placed and to permit the accep­tance of cookies only in speci­fic cases. You may also exclude the accep­tance of cookies in certain cases or in general or activate the delete-function for the automa­tic eradi­ca­tion of cookies when the browser closes. If cookies are deacti­va­ted, the functions of this website may be limited.

Which cookies and services are used on this website can be found in this privacy policy.

Consent with Usercen­trics

This website uses the consent techno­logy of Usercen­trics to obtain your consent to the storage of certain cookies on your device or for the use of speci­fic techno­lo­gies, and to document the former in a data protec­tion compli­ant manner. The party offering this techno­logy is Usercen­trics GmbH, Sendlin­ger Straße 7, 80331 München, Germany, website: https://usercentrics.com/ (herein­af­ter refer­red to as “Usercen­trics”).

Whenever you visit our website, the follo­wing perso­nal data will be trans­fer­red to Usercen­trics:

• Your declaration(s) of consent or your revoca­tion of your declaration(s) of consent
• Your IP address
• Infor­ma­tion about your browser
• Infor­ma­tion about your device
• The date and time you visited our website

Moreo­ver, Usercen­trics shall store a cookie in your browser to be able to allocate your declaration(s) of consent or any revoca­ti­ons of the former. The data that are recor­ded in this manner shall be stored until you ask us to eradi­cate them, delete the Usercen­trics cookie or until the purpose for archi­ving the data no longer exists. This shall be without preju­dice to any manda­tory legal reten­tion periods.

The Usercen­trics banner on this website has been confi­gu­red with the assis­tance of eRecht24. This can be identi­fied by the eRecht24 logo. To display the eRecht24 logo in the banner, a connec­tion to the image server of eRecht24 will be estab­lished. In conjunc­tion with this, the IP address is also trans­fer­red; however, is only stored in anony­mi­zed form in the server logs. The image server of eRecht24 is located in Germany with a German provi­der. The banner as such is provi­ded exclu­si­vely by Usercen­trics.

Usercen­trics uses cookies to obtain the decla­ra­ti­ons of consent manda­ted by law. The legal basis for the use of speci­fic techno­lo­gies is Art. 6(1)© GDPR.

Data proces­sing

We have concluded a data proces­sing agree­ment (DPA) for the use of the above-mentio­ned service. This is a contract manda­ted by data privacy laws that guaran­tees that they process perso­nal data of our website visitors only based on our instruc­tions and in compli­ance with the GDPR.

Server log files

The provi­der of this website and its pages automa­ti­cally collects and stores infor­ma­tion in so-called server log files, which your browser commu­ni­ca­tes to us automa­ti­cally. The infor­ma­tion compri­ses:

• The type and version of browser used
• The used opera­ting system
• Refer­rer URL
• The hostname of the acces­sing compu­ter
• The time of the server inquiry
• The IP address

This data is not merged with other data sources.

This data is recor­ded on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The opera­tor of the website has a legiti­mate interest in the techni­cally error free depic­tion and the optimiza­tion of the operator’s website. In order to achieve this, server log files must be recor­ded.

Contact form

If you submit inqui­ries to us via our contact form, the infor­ma­tion provi­ded in the contact form as well as any contact infor­ma­tion provi­ded therein will be stored by us in order to handle your inquiry and in the event that we have further questi­ons. We will not share this infor­ma­tion without your consent.

The proces­sing of these data is based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR, if your request is related to the execu­tion of a contract or if it is neces­sary to carry out pre-contrac­tual measu­res. In all other cases the proces­sing is based on our legiti­mate interest in the effec­tive proces­sing of the requests addres­sed to us (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) or on your agree­ment (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) if this has been reques­ted; the consent can be revoked at any time.

The infor­ma­tion you have entered into the contact form shall remain with us until you ask us to eradi­cate the data, revoke your consent to the archi­ving of data or if the purpose for which the infor­ma­tion is being archi­ved no longer exists (e.g., after we have concluded our response to your inquiry). This shall be without preju­dice to any manda­tory legal provi­si­ons, in parti­cu­lar reten­tion periods.

Request by e‑mail, telephone, or fax

If you contact us by e‑mail, telephone or fax, your request, inclu­ding all resul­ting perso­nal data (name, request) will be stored and proces­sed by us for the purpose of proces­sing your request. We do not pass these data on without your consent.

These data are proces­sed on the basis of Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR if your inquiry is related to the fulfill­ment of a contract or is requi­red for the perfor­mance of pre-contrac­tual measu­res. In all other cases, the data are proces­sed on the basis of our legiti­mate interest in the effec­tive handling of inqui­ries submit­ted to us (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) or on the basis of your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) if it has been obtai­ned; the consent can be revoked at any time.

The data sent by you to us via contact requests remain with us until you request us to delete, revoke your consent to the storage or the purpose for the data storage lapses (e.g. after comple­tion of your request). Manda­tory statu­tory provi­si­ons — in parti­cu­lar statu­tory reten­tion periods — remain unaffec­ted.

Docto­lib

Our website offers you the option to make appoint­ments with us. We use the Docto­lib tool for the making of such reser­va­tions. The provi­der is Docto­lib GmbH, Mehring­damm 51, 10961 Berlin (herein­af­ter refer­red to as “Docto­lib”).

To book an appoint­ment, you enter the reques­ted data and the desired appoint­ment date into the designa­ted screen on our website or our presence on Docto­lib. The data you enter will be used to plan, host, and possi­bly do any follow-up work for the appoint­ment. The appoint­ment dates are stored for us on the Docto­lib servers.

We will retain the data you have entered until you ask us to delete them, revoke your consent to archi­ving the data or until the purpose of storing the data is no longer effec­tive. This will not affect manda­tory statu­tory provi­si­ons – in parti­cu­lar, reten­tion times.

The legal basis for the proces­sing of data is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website opera­tor has a legiti­mate interest in keeping the making of appoint­ments as easy as possi­ble for prospec­tive and existing custo­mers. If appro­priate consent has been obtai­ned, the proces­sing is carried out exclu­si­vely on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR / Art. 9 (2)(a) GDPR and § 25 (1) TTDSG, insofar the consent includes the storage of cookies or the access to infor­ma­tion in the user’s end device (e.g., device finger­prin­ting) within the meaning of the TTDSG.

5. Social media

Facebook

We have integra­ted elements of the social network Facebook on this website. The provi­der of this service is Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Dublin 2, Ireland. Accor­ding to Facebook’s state­ment the collec­ted data will be trans­fer­red to the USA and other third-party count­ries too.

An overview of the Facebook social media elements is available under the follo­wing link: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/.

If the social media element has been activa­ted, a direct connec­tion between your device and the Facebook server will be estab­lished. As a result, Facebook will receive infor­ma­tion confir­ming your visit to this website with your IP address. If you click on the Facebook Like button while you are logged into your Facebook account, you can link content of this website to your Facebook profile. Conse­quently, Facebook will be able to allocate your visit to this website to your user account. We have to empha­size that we as the provi­der of the website do not receive any infor­ma­tion on the content of the trans­fer­red data and its use by Facebook. For more infor­ma­tion, please consult the Data Privacy Policy of Facebook at: https://de-de.facebook.com/privacy/explanation.

If your approval (consent) has been obtai­ned the use of the above­men­tio­ned service shall occur on the basis of Art. 6 Sect. 1 lit. a GDPR and § 25 TTDSG (German Telecom­mu­ni­ca­ti­ons Act). Such consent may be revoked at any time. If your consent was not obtai­ned, the use of the service will occur on the basis of our legiti­mate interest in making our infor­ma­tion as compre­hen­si­vely visible as possi­ble on social media.

Insofar as perso­nal data is collec­ted on our website with the help of the tool descri­bed here and forwarded to Facebook, we and Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland are jointly respon­si­ble for this data proces­sing (Art. 26 DSGVO). The joint respon­si­bi­lity is limited exclu­si­vely to the collec­tion of the data and its forwar­ding to Facebook. The proces­sing by Facebook that takes place after the onward trans­fer is not part of the joint respon­si­bi­lity. The obliga­ti­ons incum­bent on us jointly have been set out in a joint proces­sing agree­ment. The wording of the agree­ment can be found under: https://www.facebook.com/legal/controller_addendum. Accor­ding to this agree­ment, we are respon­si­ble for provi­ding the privacy infor­ma­tion when using the Facebook tool and for the privacy-secure imple­men­ta­tion of the tool on our website. Facebook is respon­si­ble for the data security of Facebook products. You can assert data subject rights (e.g., requests for infor­ma­tion) regar­ding data proces­sed by Facebook directly with Facebook. If you assert the data subject rights with us, we are obliged to forward them to Facebook.

Data trans­mis­sion to the US is based on the Standard Contrac­tual Clauses (SCC) of the European Commis­sion. Details can be found here: https://www.facebook.com/legal/EU_data_transfer_addendum, https://de-de.facebook.com/help/566994660333381 and https://www.facebook.com/policy.php.

The company is certi­fied in accordance with the “EU-US Data Privacy Frame­work” (DPF).

Twitter

We have integra­ted functions of the social media platform Twitter into this website. These functions are provi­ded by Twitter Inter­na­tio­nal Company, One Cumber­land Place, Fenian Street, Dublin 2, D02 AX07, Ireland.

If the social media element has been activa­ted, a direct connec­tion between your device and Twitter’s server will be estab­lished.

Meta Pixel (formerly Facebook Pixel)

To measure conver­sion rates, this website uses the visitor activity pixel of Facebook/Meta. The provi­der of this service is Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Dublin 2, Ireland. Accor­ding to Facebook’s state­ment the collec­ted data will be trans­fer­red to the USA and other third-party count­ries too.

This tool allows the track­ing of page visitors after they have been linked to the website of the provi­der after clicking on a Facebook ad. This makes it possi­ble to analyze the effec­ti­ve­ness of Facebook ads for statis­ti­cal and market research purpo­ses and to optimize future adver­ti­sing campaigns.

For us as the opera­tors of this website, the collec­ted data is anony­mous. We are not in a position to arrive at any conclu­si­ons as to the identity of users. However, Facebook archi­ves the infor­ma­tion and proces­ses it, so that it is possi­ble to make a connec­tion to the respec­tive user profile and Facebook is in a position to use the data for its own promo­tio­nal purpo­ses in compli­ance with the Facebook Data Usage Policy (https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/).

As a result of this activa­tion, we can tailor the offers presen­ted in our adver­ti­sing campaigns on Facebook to indivi­du­als interes­ted in what we offer even more precis­ely. Moreo­ver, this expan­ded alignment optimi­zes the alloca­tion of website conver­si­ons and expands custom audien­ces.

Insofar as perso­nal data is collec­ted on our website with the help of the tool descri­bed here and forwarded to Facebook, we and Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland are jointly respon­si­ble for this data proces­sing (Art. 26 DSGVO).

Spotify

We have integra­ted features of the Spotify music platform into this website. The provi­der is Spotify AB, Birger Jarls­gatan 61, 113 56 Stock­holm, Sweden. You will be able to recognize Spotify plug-ins when you see the green logo on this website. An overview of Spotify’s plug-ins can be found at: https://developer.spotify.com.

The plug-in makes it possi­ble to estab­lish a direct connec­tion between your browser and Spotify’s server when you visit this website. As a result, Spotify recei­ves the infor­ma­tion that you visited this website with your IP address. If you click the Spotify button while you are logged into your Spotify account, you have the option to link content from this website with your Spotify profile. Conse­quently, Spotify will be in a position to allocate your visit to this website to your user account.

We would like to point out that when using Spotify, cookies are used by Google Analy­tics so that your usage data can also be passed on to Google when using Spotify. Google Analy­tics is a tool of the Google Group for the analy­sis of user behavior with headquar­ters in the USA. Spotify alone is respon­si­ble for this integra­tion. We as website opera­tors have no influence on this proces­sing.

jameda Widget & Siegel

Seals or widgets of jameda GmbH, St. Cajetan-Straße 41, 81669 Munich, Germany, are embedded on our website. A widget is a small window that displays changeable infor­ma­tion. Our seal also works in a similar way, i.e. it does not always look the same, but the display changes regularly. Although the corre­spon­ding content is displayed on our website, it is retrie­ved from the jameda servers at that moment. This is the only way to always show the current content, especi­ally the current rating. For this purpose, a data connec­tion must be estab­lished from this website to jameda and jameda recei­ves certain techni­cal data (date and time of the visit; the page from which the query is made; Inter­net Proto­col address (IP address) used, browser type and version, device type, opera­ting system and similar techni­cal infor­ma­tion) that are neces­sary for the content to be delivered. However, this data is only used to provide the content and is not stored or used in any other way.

With the integra­tion, we pursue the purpose and legiti­mate interest of presen­ting current and correct content on our homepage. The legal basis is Art 6 para. 1 f) DSGVO. We do not store the afore­men­tio­ned data due to this integra­tion. Further infor­ma­tion on data proces­sing by jameda can be found in the privacy policy of the page https://www.jameda.de/jameda/datenschutz.php.
