III. Legal basis for the processing
Personal data is only collected, processed, and used by us if you have given your consent or if we are legally permitted to do so.
Insofar as we obtain the consent of the data subject for the processing of personal data, Art. 6 para. 1a GDPR serves as the legal basis for the processing of personal data.
When processing personal data which is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, Art. 6 para. 1b GDPR
serves as the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations which are necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures.
Insofar as the processing of personal data is necessary to fulfil a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Art. 6 para. 1c GDPR
serves as the legal basis.
If the processing is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest of our company or a third party and the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not outweigh the former interest, Art. 6 para. 1f GDPR
serves as the legal basis for the processing.
IV. Recipient of the data
As a matter of principle, we only process personal data if we have your consent or legal permission to do so. This also applies to the transfer of data to third parties. We do not pass on your personal data to third parties for direct marketing purposes.
Your data will be processed and used within the EU/EEA. However, for certain processes, processing outside the EU/EEA is also necessary. If your data is processed outside the EU/EEA, we will take all necessary measures to ensure that the processing complies with data protection regulations in accordance with Art. 44 GDPR. We may share your personal information with the following recipients in accordance with applicable data protection laws and regulations:
- to third parties who assist us in operating the website

We also take appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal data from theft, other loss, misuse and any unauthorised access during processing.

The supervisory authority to which the complaint is filed, advises the complainant about the status and the results of the complaint including the possibility of legal action acc. to Art. 78 GDPR.

Adobe Analytics

Adobe Analytics uses "cookies", which are text files placed on your computer, to help the website analyze how users use the site. If the information generated by the cookie about your use of the website is transmitted to an Adobe server, the settings ensure that the IP address is anonymised before geolocation and replaced by a generic IP address before being saved. On behalf of the operator of this website, Adobe will use this information to evaluate the use of the website by users, to compile reports on website activities and to provide further services to the website operator in connection with website and internet use.

Google
On our website Java-Script code of the company Google Inc, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (hereinafter: Google) is loaded. If you have activated Java-Script in your browser and have not installed a Java-Script blocker, your browser may transmit personal data to Google. To prevent the execution of Java-Script code from Google altogether, you can install a Java-Script blocker (e.g. https://www.noscript.net/ or https://www.ghostery.com/).
Google ReCaptcha
To ensure sufficient data security when transmitting contact and registration forms, we use the Google ReCaptcha service. The provider is Google Inc, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA ("Google"). Google ReCaptcha is used on our website to differentiate whether the input into forms is made by a natural person or abusively by machine and automated processing. The data processing is carried out in our legitimate interest in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1f GDPR. The Google service includes the processing of IP addresses and, if applicable, other data required by Google for the ReCaptcha service. The deviating data protection regulations of Google Inc. apply to this. Further information on the data protection guidelines of Google Inc. can be found at https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de&gl=de or www.policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de.
Google Maps Plug-In
On our website we use the map service Google Maps to offer you map content for our dealer finder. Google Maps is a map service of Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.
In order to use the functions of Google Maps, information, including the IP address and the address entered as part of the route function, may be transferred to the provider's servers. This information is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. When you visit a website that contains Google Maps, your browser establishes a direct connection with the Google servers, whereby the map content is sent to your browser and integrated by it. The provider of this site has no influence on this data transfer. According to current knowledge, this includes the following data:
- Date and time of your visit to the website in question,
- Internet address or URL of the web page called up,
- IP address, (start) address entered during route planning
For the use of Google Maps your consent is required in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1a GDPR. Only then can our online offers be used without restriction. If you no longer wish data processing by Google via this service after your consent, you can deactivate the use of JavaScript in your browser settings. Please note that in this case the interactive map function of Google Maps is no longer or only partially usable.

Google Adds Conversion Pixel
We use the service Google Ads. Google Ads is an online advertising program of Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. The responsible party for users in the EU/EEA and Switzerland is Google Ireland Limited, Google Building Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland.
This means that we place Google Ads and also use Google Remarketing and Conversion Tracking as part of this. The ads are displayed after search queries on websites of the Google advertising network. In addition, we use Ads remarketing lists for search ads. This allows us to customize search ad campaigns for users who have visited our website before. Through the services, we have the possibility to combine our ads with certain search terms or to display ads for previous visitors in which, for example, services are advertised that the visitors have viewed on our website. We can thus display interest-based advertising to users of our website on other websites within the Google advertising network (as a "Google ad" within Google Search or on other websites).
For interest-based offers, an analysis of online user behavior is necessary. Google uses cookies to perform this analysis. When clicking on an advertisement or visiting our website, a cookie is set on the user's computer by Google. These cookies have a term of 90 days. The information collected by means of the respective cookie is used to target the visitor in a subsequent search query. Further information on the cookie technology used can also be found in Google's notes on website statistics and in the privacy policy. With the help of this technology, Google and we as a customer receive information about the fact that a user has clicked on an advertisement and has been redirected to our web pages. The information obtained in this way is used exclusively for statistical evaluation for ad optimization. We do not receive any information with which visitors can be personally identified. Your IP address is transmitted to Google, but since we use Google Analytics IP masking on this website, your IP address is anonymized. The statistics provided to us by Google include the total number of users who clicked on one of our ads and, if applicable, whether they were redirected to a page on our website that is tagged with a conversion tag. Based on these statistics, we can track which search terms were clicked on our ad particularly often and which ads lead to the user contacting us via the contact form.
Insofar as data is processed outside the EEA, where there is no level of data protection corresponding to the European standard, we have concluded EU standard contractual clauses with the service provider to establish a secure level of data protection.
You can find more information on data protection in the context of Google Ads at: https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads?hl=de.
The legal basis for accessing the information is your consent pursuant to Section 25 (1) TTDSG. The legal basis for data processing is your consent pursuant to Art. 6 para 1 lit. a GDPR. You can revoke your consent at any time.
If you do not want your visit to be included in the user statistics, you can prevent this by preventing the storage of the cookie required for these technologies, for example, via your browser settings.
You also have the option of selecting the types of Google ads or deactivating interest-based ads on Google via the ad setting. Alternatively, you can disable the use of cookies by third parties by calling the deactivation help of the network advertising initiative.
However, we and Google still receive statistical information about how many users have visited this site and when. If you do not want to be included in these statistics either, you can prevent this by using additional programs for your browser.
Microsoft Clarity
We use the tool "Microsoft Clarity" from Microsoft Corporation, One Microsoft Way, Redmond, WA 98052-6399, USA [adapt if necessary, e.g. Microsoft Irleand Ltd.] on our website. Microsoft Clarity is a so-called screen recording tool, which records the activities of a user on our websites during a session and processes them for us in a comprehensible way. The recording and evaluation of website activities serves to improve the user-friendliness of our websites and helps with troubleshooting.
In addition, your personal data is processed for the following purposes:
- Tracking (e.g. interest/behavior-based profiling, use of cookies)
- Remarketing and conversion measurement (measuring the effectiveness of marketing measures)
- Interest-based and behavioral marketing
- Profiling (creation of user profiles)
- Reach measurement (e.g. access statistics, recognition of returning users)
- Cross-device tracking (processing of user data across devices for marketing purposes).
To protect the privacy of our users, we have activated the masking of personal data in accordance with the Microsoft Clarity guidelines. This means that sensitive content is masked by default to ensure that it is not captured by Clarity. Sensitive data includes all input field content, numbers and email addresses. Masking ensures that this sensitive information is not passed on to Microsoft.
Further information on the information collected can be found at the following website: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/clarity/setup-and-installation/clarity-data
Data processing is carried out by Microsoft Corporation, which is based in the USA. Microsoft Corporation is certified according to the Data Privacy Framework, so that for data transfers to Microsoft Corporation an adequacy decision of the European Commission in the sense of Art. 45 DSGVO is available. The status of the certification can be accessed via the following website: https://www.dataprivacyframework.gov/s/
The legal basis for the processing of your personal data for the specified purposes is your consent (Section 25 TDDDG and Art. 6 (1) a) GDPR). You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future. To revoke your consent, you can simply adjust your cookie settings accordingly via our privacy policy. You can also revoke your consent for data processing to Microsoft at any time: https://choice.microsoft.com/de-DE/opt-out.

Meta Conversion Tracking Pixel
We use the Custom Audiences service of Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Dublin 2, Ireland, as part of our usage-based online advertising. For this purpose, we define target groups of users based on certain characteristics in the Meta ad manager, who are subsequently shown ads within Facebook or Instagram network. Users are selected by Meta based on the profile information they provide and other data provided through their use of Facebook or Instagram. If a user clicks on an advertisement and subsequently arrives on our website, Meta receives the information that the user clicked on the social media post via the meta pixel embedded on our website.
Basically, this generates a non-reversible and non-personal checksum (hash value) from your usage data, which is transmitted to Meta for analysis and marketing purposes. In the process, information about your activities on our website (e.g. surfing behavior, sub-pages visited, etc.) is collected. Meta uses your IP address to geographically restrict social media action posts.
Meta Custom Audiences can be used and after the filter test campaign to play out posts targeted to Facebook and Instagram profiles that had interacted with the action content.
For more information about the purpose and scope of the data collection and the further processing and use of the data by Meta, as well as your settings options for protecting your privacy, please refer to Meta's privacy policy at the following link https://www.facebook.com/policy.php. You can find more information about the Meta Pixel and how it works at the following link https://www.facebook.com/business/help/742478679120153?id=1205376682832142.
You can make settings regarding which advertisements are displayed to you on Facebook or Instagram in the account settings of Facebook or Instagram.
The meta pixel is only set with your consent. The legal basis for accessing the information is your consent pursuant to Section 25 (1) TTDSG. The legal basis for data processing is your consent pursuant to Art. 6 para 1 lit. a GDPR. You can revoke your consent at any time.
