For this purpose, we use functions of the Salesforce Marketing Cloud, where we also store the pseudonymized profiles.

In this case, the data subject to retention will be deleted after expiry of the deadline. The legal basis for the processing of the data is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.
3.5. Newsletter and e-mail advertising
With our newsletters, we inform you about current products and news. To register, it is generally sufficient to provide your e-mail address. Providing additional data is voluntary. If you have registered for one of our newsletters, we use your e-mail address and, if applicable, other data voluntarily provided by you to send the newsletter. If you successfully subscribe to the newsletter, we record the date of your registration, as well as your IP address in case of registration through a website. This storage serves as evidence in case a third party misuses an e-mail address and subscribes to the newsletter without the knowledge of the rightful owner. Data provided by you during registration is processed for the purpose of sending the newsletter in the Salesforce Marketing Cloud and Salesforce Sales Cloud. The legal basis for sending the newsletter is your consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. If consent for advertising similar goods or services of our own is not required, this is based on our legitimate interests pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR in promoting our products and services, provided this is legally permissible and you have not objected. We also store the data collected during the registration process based on legitimate interests to be able to prove your consent if necessary. You can unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time using the unsubscribe link provided in each newsletter. Alternatively, you can also contact us directly at the postal or e-mail address mentioned above. Upon unsubscribing, we may continue to store the unsubscribed e-mail addresses for up to three years to be able to prove the previously given consent.

We have entered into an agreement for data processing according to Art. 28 GDPR with Salesforce, as well as standard contractual clauses. Salesforce has also established binding corporate rules pursuant to Art. 47 GDPR, which have been verified by European data protection authorities. We have taken measures to ensure that data is primarily processed on servers within the European Union. Further information can be found here: https://www.salesforce.com/de/company/privacy.

3.8. Use of Adobe Analytics
On our website we use Adobe Analytics (Omniture) or Adobe Marketing Cloud (hereinafter referred to as "Omniture"), a web analysis service provided by Adobe Systems Software Ireland Limited, 4-6 Riverwalk, Citywest Business Campus, Dublin 24, Republic of Ireland. Omniture allows us to analyze user behavior and visitor flows. This allows us to create content on demand and also to identify and fix problems faster.
Omniture stores cookies on your system for this purpose. We also use appropriate system settings to ensure that the tracking data sets transmitted to Adobe are anonymized before geolocation. Anonymization is implemented by replacing the last part of the IP address. We have also made server-side settings on the basis of which your IP address is anonymized independently of each other before processing for geolocation and range measurement. Adobe processes the collected data and information exclusively on our behalf. The subject matter is the analysis of user behavior and the creation of anonymous reports or statistics. The data collected, in particular your IP address, will not be merged with other personal data by Adobe or us. We use the information obtained from this to optimize our website. The legal basis for data processing is § 15 para. 3 TMG or Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The legitimate interests are the purposes mentioned above. Adobe's applicable privacy policy can be found at http://www.adobe.com/de/privacy.html.
You can prevent the setting of cookies by our website at any time by means of a corresponding setting in the Internet browser and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Such a setting of the Internet browser used would also prevent Omniture from setting a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. In addition, cookies already set by Omniture can be deleted at any time via an Internet browser or other software programs.
Furthermore, you have the option of objecting to and preventing the collection of data generated by the Adobe cookie relating to the use of this website and the processing of this data by Adobe. To do this, you must press the unsubscribe button under the link https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de, which sets an opt-out cookie. The opt-out cookie set with the objection is stored on your system. If the cookies on your system are deleted after an objection, you must call up the link again and set a new opt-out cookie. With the setting of the opt-out cookie, however, it is possible that the Internet pages of the controller are no longer fully usable for you.

Cookies are text files that are stored on a computer system via an Internet browser. The information collected by the cookie is transmitted to a server of Google Inc. in the USA. In addition to information on website use, this also includes your IP address. However, we use Google Analytics with the addition "AnonymizeIP". This means that your IP address will be shortened and anonymized by Google if you visit our site within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. The transmitted IP address will also not be merged with other Google data. The purpose of data processing is the evaluation of visitor flows and website use by visitors. On our behalf, Google creates online reports for us. We use the information obtained from this to optimize our website. The legal basis for data processing is § 15 para. 3 TMG or Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The legitimate interests are the purposes mentioned above.
