For further information about the external processors you can send your enquiries to dataprotection@falkensteiner.com.
TikTok Data Protection
We also use TikTok, a social media and video channel. The service provider is the Chinese company Beijing Bytedance Technology Ltd. For the European region, the responsible entity is the Irish company TikTok Technology Limited, 10 Earlsfort Terrace, Dublin, D02 T380, Ireland.
TikTok processes data from you, including in the USA. We would like to point out that, according to the European Court of Justice, there is currently no adequate level of protection for data transfer to the USA. This can be associated with various risks for the legality and security of data processing.
As the basis for data processing by recipients based in third countries (outside the European Union, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, especially in the USA) or data transfers to these countries, TikTok uses so-called Standard Contractual Clauses (= Art. 46(2) and (3) GDPR). Standard Contractual Clauses (SCC) are model templates provided by the European Commission and are intended to ensure that your data complies with European data protection standards even when transferred to and stored in third countries (such as the USA). Through these clauses, TikTok commits to maintaining the European data protection standards in the processing of your relevant data, even if the data is stored, processed, and managed in the USA. These clauses are based on an implementing decision by the European Commission. You can find the decision and the corresponding Standard Contractual Clauses, among other things, here: https://eur-lex.europa.eu/eli/dec_impl/2021/914/oj?locale=en
To learn more about the Standard Contractual Clauses and the data processed through the use of TikTok Pixel, please refer to the Privacy Policy at https://www.tiktok.com/legal/privacy-policy-eea?lang=de bzw. https://ads.tiktok.com/i18n/official/policy/controller-to-controller and https://ads.tiktok.com/i18n/official/policy/controller-to-controllerhttps://ads.tiktok.com/i18n/official/policy/controller-to-controller.
9. Google Analytics
Our websites use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc. ("Google"). Google Analytics uses so-called "cookies" (text files stored on users' computers) which allow an analysis of the website usage. The information generated by the cookies about the use of the websites by the users are usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and are stored there.
In the case of the IP anonymization activation on our websites, the Google users IP address will be shortened beforehand within European Union member states or in other states members of the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases the full IP address will be transmitted to a Google server in the US and shortened there. IP anonymization is active on our websites. On behalf of the operator of our websites, Google will use this information to evaluate the use of the websites by the users, to compile reports on the website activities and to provide further services relating to website usage and internet usage to the website operator.
The shortened IP address provided by Google Analytics within the User Browser will not be merged with any other data provided by Google. Users can prevent the storage of cookies by the opt-out function on the Falkensteiner website or alternatively by an appropriate setting of their browser software; FMTG Services GmbH, however, points out to users that in this case, not all functions of our websites may be fully utilized. Furthermore, users can prevent the collection of data (including their IP address) generated by the cookies as well as the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available under the following link: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de.
For more information about Google data usage for advertising purposes, settings and opt-out options, please visit Google's websites: https://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy/partners/ ("How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services"), http://www.google.com/policies/technologies/ads (" Use of data for promotional purposes "), http://www.google.com/settings/ads (" Managing information, the Google uses to show you advertising ") and http://www.google.com/ads/preferences/ ("Determine which Google advertising shows you").
Google Ads (Conversions)
We use the "Google Ads" service from "Google" (Google Ireland Ltd., Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, Fax: +353 (1) 436 1001) to promote our attractive offers through advertising materials (formerly known as "Google AdWords") on external websites. We can determine the success of individual advertising campaigns in relation to campaign data. These advertising materials are delivered by "Google" through so-called "Ad Servers." To achieve this, we use "Ad Server" cookies that measure certain parameters for reach measurement, such as ad impressions or user clicks. If you arrive on our website via a "Google" ad, a cookie from "Google Ads" is stored on your device. "Google" processes the information generated by your device through the use of cookies, including data mentioned in the "Access Data" section, especially your IP address, browser information, previously visited website, and date and time of server requests. This is done for the purpose of analyzing and visualizing the reach measurement of our advertisements. Due to the marketing tools employed, your browser automatically establishes a direct connection with "Google's" server. If you are registered with a "Google" service, "Google" may associate your visit with your account. Even if you are not registered with "Google" or not logged in, there is a possibility that the provider may obtain and process your IP address.
We use Google Enhanced Conversions on our website. For the use of Google Ads Enhanced Conversions, encrypted user data (e.g., names, email addresses, addresses, custom identifiers) is shared with Google. When a user performs a conversion on our website, such as making a purchase, user data is collected, hashed, and sent to Google via conversion tracking tags for the purpose of improving conversion measurement. Google then compares whether the transmitted user data matches existing Google customers. Based on this information, users are assigned to the corresponding Google accounts they were logged into when interacting with one of your ads. We only receive statistical evaluations from "Google" for measuring the success of our advertising materials. "Google" processes the data in the USA. In this case, an adequate level of data protection is ensured through the use of the current version of the EU Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses pursuant to Article 46(2)(c) of the GDPR and participation in the EU-US Privacy Framework (Adequacy Decision for the USA). More information is available at https://policies.google.com/privacy/frameworks?hl=en
The legal basis for processing is your consent according to Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR. Our legitimate interests in processing lie in the statistical analysis of website usage, reach measurement, optimization of advertisements, and in tracking and improving our advertising expenses. The storage duration at "Google" is a maximum of 90 days. Further information on data protection and storage duration at "Google" can be found at: https://support.google.com/google-ads/answer/6239119?hl=en
You can withdraw your consent to processing at any time by adjusting the slider in the "Advanced Settings" of the consent tool. The legality of processing based on your consent prior to withdrawal remains unaffected.
10. Duration of the processing
We process your personal data, health data, data concerning allergies and other special requirements - if necessary - for the duration of the entire business relationship (from the initiation, performance to the termination of a business relationship and until all open claims in connection with the business relationship have been satisfied in full).
