PRIVACY POLICY

The use of our website is possible without providing any personal data. Different provisions may apply to the use of individual services on our website; these are explained separately below where applicable. Your personal data (e.g. name, address, email address, telephone number, etc.) will only be processed by us in accordance with the provisions of German data protection law. Data is considered personal if it can be clearly attributed to a specific natural person. The legal basis for data protection can be found in the German Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG) and the German Telemedia Act (TMG). The following provisions provide information about the nature, scope and purpose of the collection, use and processing of personal data by the provider:

Please note that internet-based data transmission is subject to security vulnerabilities and that complete protection against access by third parties is therefore impossible.

Cookies

We use so-called cookies on our website to recognise repeated use of our services by the same user/internet connection holder. Cookies are small text files that your internet browser stores on your computer. They are used to optimise our website and the services we offer. In most cases, these are so-called “session cookies”, which are deleted once you have finished visiting our website.

In some cases, however, these cookies provide information that enables you to be recognised automatically. This recognition takes place on the basis of the IP address stored in the cookies. The information obtained in this way is used to optimise our services and make it easier for you to access our website.

You can prevent cookies from being installed by changing the appropriate settings in your browser. However, please note that, in this case, you may not be able to make full use of all the functions of our website.

Server Data

For technical reasons, the following data, among other information, which your internet browser transmits to us or to our web hosting provider, is collected in so-called server log files:

Browser type and version
Operating system used
Website from which you accessed our website (referrer URL)
Website you visit
Date and time of access
Your Internet Protocol (IP) address

This anonymous data is stored separately from any personal data you may have provided and therefore cannot be used to identify a particular person. It is evaluated for statistical purposes in order to optimise our website and the services we offer.

Registration Function

We offer you the opportunity to register on our website. The data entered during registration, as shown in the registration form (e.g. name, email address, etc.), is collected and stored exclusively for the purpose of using our services.

When you register on our website, we will also store your IP address and the date and time of your registration. This serves as a safeguard in the event that a third party misuses your data and registers on our website using that data without your knowledge.

The data will not be disclosed to third parties. Nor will the data collected in this way be compared with data that may be collected by other components of our website.

We offer you the opportunity to subscribe to our newsletter. Through this newsletter, we provide regular information about our services and offers.

In order to receive our newsletter, you must provide a valid email address. We will verify the email address you provide in order to confirm whether you are in fact the owner of the email address or whether the owner has authorised receipt of the newsletter.

When you subscribe to our newsletter, we will store your IP address as well as the date and time of your subscription. This serves as a safeguard in the event that a third party misuses your email address and subscribes to our newsletter without your knowledge.

We do not collect any further data. The data collected in this way is used exclusively for the purpose of sending our newsletter. It will not be disclosed to third parties. Nor will the data collected in this way be compared with data that may be collected by other components of our website.

You may unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time. Further details can be found in the confirmation email and in each individual newsletter.

Contact Options

We offer you the opportunity to contact us by email and/or via a contact form.

In this case, the information provided by the user will be stored for the purpose of processing the enquiry.

The data will not be disclosed to third parties. Nor will the data collected in this way be compared with data that may be collected by other components of our website.

Use of Google Analytics with Anonymisation Function

We use Google Analytics on our website, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA, hereinafter referred to as “Google”.

Google Analytics uses so-called “cookies”, which are text files stored on your computer and which enable an analysis of your use of the website.

The information generated by these cookies, including, for example, the time, location and frequency of your visits to our website as well as your IP address, is transmitted to Google in the USA and stored there.

We use Google Analytics on our website with an IP anonymisation function. In this case, your IP address will be shortened and thereby anonymised by Google within Member States of the European Union or in other states that are party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area.

Google will use this information to evaluate your use of our website, compile reports on website activity for us and provide other services relating to website and internet usage.

Google may also transfer this information to third parties where required to do so by law or where such third parties process the information on Google’s behalf.

According to Google, your IP address will under no circumstances be associated with any other data held by Google.

You can prevent cookies from being installed by selecting the appropriate settings in your browser software. However, please note that, in this case, you may not be able to make full use of all the functions of our website.

Google also offers a deactivation option for the most commonly used browsers, giving you greater control over the data collected and processed by Google. If you activate this option, no information about your visit to the website will be transmitted to Google Analytics.

However, activation does not prevent information from being transmitted to us or to any other web analytics services that we may use.

Further information about the deactivation option provided by Google and how to activate it can be found at the following link:

https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de

Use of Google Maps

We use the “Google Maps” component provided by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA, hereinafter referred to as “Google”.

Each time the “Google Maps” component is accessed, Google sets a cookie in order to process user settings and data when displaying the page into which the “Google Maps” component has been integrated.

As a rule, this cookie is not deleted when the browser is closed but expires after a certain period of time unless you manually delete it beforehand.

If you do not agree to this processing of your data, you can deactivate the “Google Maps” service and thereby prevent data from being transmitted to Google. To do this, you must deactivate the JavaScript function in your browser.

Please note, however, that in this case you may not be able to use “Google Maps”, or may only be able to use it to a limited extent.

The use of “Google Maps” and the information obtained through “Google Maps” is subject to the Google Terms of Service:

http://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/terms/regional.html

as well as the additional Terms of Service for “Google Maps”:

https://www.google.com/intl/de_de/help/terms_maps.html

Use of Facebook Components

We use components provided by facebook.com on our website. Facebook is a service provided by Facebook Inc., 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA.

Each time one of our web pages containing such a component is accessed, the component causes the browser you are using to download a corresponding representation of the component from Facebook.

As a result of this process, Facebook is informed which specific page of our website you are currently visiting.

If you access our website while logged in to Facebook, Facebook can use the information collected by the component to identify the specific page you are visiting and associate this information with your personal Facebook account.

For example, if you click the “Like” button or submit comments, this information will be transmitted to your personal Facebook user account and stored there.

In addition, the fact that you have visited our website will be transmitted to Facebook. This occurs regardless of whether or not you click on the component.

If you wish to prevent Facebook from transmitting and storing data about you and your behaviour on our website, you must log out of Facebook before visiting our website.

Facebook’s privacy policy provides further information in this regard, particularly concerning the collection and use of data by Facebook, your associated rights and the settings available to protect your privacy:

https://de-de.facebook.com/about/privacy/

External tools are also available that can be used to block Facebook social plugins by means of add-ons for all commonly used browsers:

Use of MailChimp

With regard to the use of your personal data for receiving our newsletter, you will be asked to provide your consent at the appropriate point as follows:

“I have read and understood the Privacy Policy and, in particular, I agree that data processing may be carried out by a service provider in the USA.”

Through our newsletter, we provide regular information about our services and offers.

The data collected in this way will not be compared with data that may be collected by other components of our website.

Newsletter via MailChimp

We use the MailChimp component to send our newsletters.

MailChimp is a service provided by The Rocket Science Group, LLC, 512 Means Street, Suite 404, Atlanta, GA 30318, USA.

The data stored when you subscribe to the newsletter (email address, where applicable name, IP address, date and time of subscription) is transmitted to a server operated by The Rocket Science Group in the USA and stored there in accordance with the “Privacy Shield Agreement”.

Further information about data protection at MailChimp can be found at:

http://mailchimp.com/legal/privacy/

You may cancel or withdraw your subscription to this newsletter, and therefore your consent to the storage of your data, at any time with effect for the future.

Further details can be found in the confirmation email and in each individual newsletter.

Newsletter Tracking

Our newsletters contain so-called tracking pixels (web bugs), which enable us to determine whether and when an email has been opened and which links within the email have been followed by the individual recipient.

We store this data so that we can optimise our newsletters according to the preferences and interests of our subscribers.

Accordingly, the data collected in this way is used to send personalised newsletters to the relevant recipient.

At the appropriate point, we will ask you for your consent as follows:

“I agree that my data and usage behaviour may be electronically stored through newsletter tracking in order to send me a personalised newsletter. If I withdraw my consent to receive the newsletter, my consent to the aforementioned tracking will also be withdrawn.”

If consent to receive the newsletter is withdrawn, consent to the aforementioned tracking will also be withdrawn.

Use of Instagram

We use the Instagram service on our website. Instagram is a service provided by Instagram Inc.

Through the integrated “Insta” button on our website, Instagram receives information that you have accessed the corresponding page of our website.

If you are logged in to Instagram, Instagram can associate your visit to our website with your Instagram account and thereby link the data.

The data transmitted by clicking the “Insta” button is stored by Instagram.

Further information concerning the purpose and scope of data collection, its processing and use, as well as your associated rights and the settings available to protect your privacy, can be found in Instagram’s privacy information at:

https://help.instagram.com/155833707900388

To prevent Instagram from associating your visit to our website with your Instagram account, you must log out of your Instagram account before visiting our website.

Information / Withdrawal of Consent / Deletion

Under the German Federal Data Protection Act, you may contact us free of charge with any questions concerning the collection, processing or use of your personal data, as well as its rectification, blocking or deletion, or the withdrawal of consent previously granted.

Please note that you have the right to have inaccurate data corrected or personal data deleted, provided that no statutory retention obligation prevents us from complying with such a request.

LIABILITY FOR CONTENT

The contents of the Essence of Life (EoL) pages have been prepared with the greatest possible care. However, EoL cannot guarantee the accuracy, completeness or currency of the content.

In accordance with Section 7(1) of the German Telemedia Act (TMG), EoL is responsible for its own content on these pages under general legislation.

The EoL website contains links to external third-party websites over whose content we have no control.

Upon becoming aware of legal infringements, we will remove such links immediately.
