§ 7 Usage-based advertising content

(1) This website uses the online advertising program “Google AdWords” and within the scope of Google AdWords the conversion tracking of Google LLC., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (“Google”). We use the offer of Google Adwords to draw attention to our attractive offers with the help of advertising media (so-called Google Adwords) on external websites. We can determine how successful the individual advertising measures are in relation to the data of the advertising campaigns. In this way, we pursue the interest of showing you advertising that is of interest to you, making our website more interesting for you and achieving a fair calculation of advertising costs.

The cookie for conversion tracking is set when a user clicks on an AdWords ad placed by Google. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer system. These cookies usually lose their validity after 30 days and are not used for personal identification. If the user visits certain pages of this website and the cookie has not yet expired, Google and we can recognize that the user clicked on the ad and was redirected to this page. Each Google AdWords customer receives a different cookie. Cookies can therefore not be tracked across AdWords customers’ websites. The information obtained using the conversion cookie is used to create conversion statistics for AdWords customers who have opted for conversion tracking. The customers learn the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a page tagged with a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not receive information that personally identifies users. If you do not wish to participate in the tracking, you can block this use by deactivating the Google conversion tracking cookie via your internet browser under user settings. You will then not be included in the conversion tracking statistics. We use Google Adwords based on our legitimate interest in targeted advertising pursuant to Art. 6 (1) lit. f DSGVO. Google LLC, based in the USA, is certified for the us-European data protection agreement “Privacy Shield”, which ensures compliance with the level of data protection applicable in the EU.

You can obtain more information about Google’s data protection policy at the following Internet address: http://www.google.de/policies/privacy/. You can permanently disable cookies for ad preferences by preventing them by making the appropriate settings in your browser software or by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available at the following link:

http://www.google.com/settings/ads/plugin?hl=de

Please note that certain features of this website may not work or may only work in a limited way if you have disabled the use of cookies.

(2) Furthermore, the website uses the remarketing function “Custom Audiences” of Facebook Inc. (“Facebook”). This allows users of the website to be shown interest-based advertisements (“Facebook ads”) when visiting the Facebook social network or other websites that also use this procedure. In this way, we pursue the interest of showing you advertising that is of interest to you in order to make our website more interesting for you.

Due to the marketing tools used, your browser automatically establishes a direct connection with the Facebook server. We have no influence on the scope and further use of the data collected by Facebook through the use of this tool and therefore inform you according to our state of knowledge: Through the integration of Facebook Custom Audiences, Facebook receives the information that you have accessed the corresponding web page of our website or clicked on an ad from us. If you are registered with a Facebook service, Facebook can assign the visit to your account. Even if you are not registered with Facebook or have not logged in, it is possible that the provider will learn and store your IP address and other identifying features.

Deactivating the “Facebook Custom Audiences” function is possible [here and] for logged-in users at https://www.facebook.com/settings/?tab=ads#. The processing is carried out for the purpose of and on the basis of our legitimate interest in the optimal marketing of our website in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO.

(3) As part of the application of Google Analytics, this website uses the DoubleClick web analytics service, which enables recognition of the user’s browser when visiting other websites. The data collected is only evaluated for statistical purposes and in anonymous form. The information generated by the cookie about your visit to the Bodensee-Therme Konstanz website will be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States. The IP address is shortened before transmission within the Member States of the European Union or in other contracting states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area by activating IP anonymization. Only in exceptional cases will the IP address be transferred in full to a Google server in the USA before being shortened there. The anonymized IP address transmitted by the user’s browser as part of Google Analytics is not merged with other Google data. DoubleClick cookies do not contain any personal data.

The information generated is used to compile reports on the activities on this website and to provide other services related to the use of this website. If required by law, Google may transfer this information to third parties or to the extent that third parties process this data on Google’s behalf.

The user has the option at any time to object to the tracking web analysis for the future or to deactivate the DoubleClick cookie. The browser extension required for this can be downloaded and installed on the corresponding Google website.

§ 8 Newsletter and email messages

(1) With your consent, you can subscribe to our newsletter (if offered), with which we inform you about our current interesting offers. The advertised services and benefits are named in the declaration of consent.

(2) For the subscription to our newsletter, we use the so-called double-opt-in procedure. This means that after your registration, we will send you an e-mail to the specified e-mail address in which we ask you to confirm that you wish to receive the newsletter. If you do not confirm your registration within 24 hours, your information will be blocked and automatically deleted after one month. In addition, we store your respective IP addresses used and times of registration and confirmation. The purpose of this procedure is to be able to prove your registration and, if necessary, to clarify any possible misuse of your personal data.

(3) The only mandatory information for sending the newsletter is your e-mail address. The provision of further, separately marked data is voluntary and will be used to address you personally. After your confirmation, we store your e-mail address for the purpose of sending the newsletter. The legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. a DS-GVO.

(4) You can revoke your consent to the sending of the newsletter at any time and unsubscribe from the newsletter. You can declare the revocation by clicking on the link provided in each newsletter email or by sending a message to the contact details provided in the imprint.

(5) We would like to point out that we may evaluate your user behavior when sending the newsletter. For this evaluation, the sent e-mails then contain so-called web beacons or tracking pixels, which are single-pixel image files that are stored on our website. For the evaluations, we link the data mentioned in § 3 and the web beacons with your e-mail address and an individual ID. Links received in the newsletter also contain this ID. With the data obtained in this way, we create a user profile in order to tailor the newsletter to your individual interests. In doing so, we record when you read our newsletters, which links you click on in them and infer your personal interests from this. We link this data to actions you have taken on our website.

You can object to this tracking at any time by clicking on the separate link provided in each email or by informing us via another contact channel. The information is stored for as long as you are subscribed to the newsletter. After unsubscribing, we store the data purely statistically and anonymously. Moreover, such tracking is not possible if you have deactivated the display of images by default in your e-mail program. In this case, the newsletter will not be fully displayed to you and you may not be able to use all functions. If you display the images manually, the above-mentioned tracking will take place.

(6) The dispatch of the newsletter and other emails from the communication flow initiated via the forms on our website is carried out using “MailChimp”, a messaging platform of the US provider Rocket Science Group, LLC, 675 Ponce De Leon Ave NE #5000, Atlanta, GA 30308, USA. In this context, e-mail transmission data and personal data contained therein may also be processed in the USA, because transmission service providers from there are involved in e-mail transmission. The general conditions for the processing of personal data in the USA differ from the European level of data protection. There is no adequacy decision by the European Commission for the USA that establishes an equivalent level of data protection. We have therefore concluded European standard contractual clauses with all service providers located in the USA. You can view the privacy policy of MailChimp here.

(7) The email addresses of our newsletter recipients, as well as their other data described in the context of this notice, are stored on MailChimp’s servers in the USA. MailChimp uses this information to send and evaluate the newsletter on our behalf. Furthermore, according to its own information, MailChimp may use this data to optimize or improve its own services, e.g. to technically optimize the dispatch and display of the newsletters or for economic purposes to determine from which countries the recipients come. However, MailChimp does not use the data of our newsletter recipients to write to them itself or to pass them on to third parties.

§ 11 Data protection for applications and in the application process

The data controller collects and processes the personal data of applicants for the purpose of handling the application process. Concerns, on the one hand, applications related to employment and other activities for the responsible party and, on the other hand, the application for the study programs, workshops and boot camps offered by the responsible party.

The processing of personal data within the scope of the application procedure is in any case usually carried out electronically.

The following applies to employment relationships and other activities for the person responsible: If the person responsible concludes an employment contract with an applicant, the transmitted data will be stored for the purpose of processing the employment relationship in compliance with the statutory provisions. If the person responsible does not conclude an employment contract with the applicant, the application documents are automatically deleted four months after notification of the rejection decision, provided that no other legitimate interests of the person responsible oppose deletion. Other legitimate interest in this sense is, for example, a duty to provide evidence in proceedings under the General Equal Treatment Act (AGG). The legal basis for the processing of personal data of applicants is Section 26 of the Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG) in conjunction with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b, 88 DSGVO, furthermore, insofar as the processing is carried out to meet legal requirements, Art. 6. para. 1 lit. c DSGVO and, insofar as consent of the data subject is the basis of the processing, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO in conjunction with Section 26 BDSG.

For study programs, workshops and boot camps, the following applies: if the application is successful, a contractual relationship is established regarding the services of the responsible party for the respective applicant and the consideration to be provided by the respective applicant. The personal data processed in this context will be stored for the duration of the contractual relationship and beyond that until the expiry of the regular statutory limitation periods, unless legal obligations, in particular tax and commercial law retention obligations, require longer storage.

If the application is not successful, the personal data will be deleted after a period of four months. With the separately obtained consent of the data subject, the data may be stored for a further twelve months so that the application can be taken into account again in the event of a vacancy for a course or any offers that may be considered for the applicant.

The legal basis of the processing is Art. 6 (1) lit. b DSGVO, insofar as the processing is carried out for the purpose of initiating, implementing and settling the contractual relationship, Art. 6 (1) lit. f DSGVO, insofar as the legitimate interests of the controller in proper documentation of its business transactions, in evidence in the context of any disputes and in the management, maintenance and expansion of the business relationship between the controller and its contractual partner, and furthermore Art. 6 (1) lit. c DSGVO, insofar as the processing is carried out to comply with statutory provisions. If the processing is based on the consent of the data subject, Art. 6(1)(a) is the legal basis of the processing.

For application procedures, we use the services and performance of Teamtailor AB, Östgötagatan 16. SE-116 25 Stockholm, which provides platform services on our behalf for the administration and implementation of application procedures, whereby personal data is processed exclusively in the European Union.
