span class="ts-muster-content">We use the developer platform "Google Firebase" and the functions and services associated with it, offered by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.
Google Firebase is a platform for developers of apps for mobile devices and websites. Google Firebase offers a variety of functions, which are presented on the following overview page: https://firebase.google.com/products/.
The functions include the storage of apps including personal data of the application users, such as content created by them or information regarding their interaction with the apps (so-called "cloud computing"). Google Firebase also offers interfaces that allow interaction between users of the app and other services, e.g. authentication using services such as Facebook, Twitter or an e-mail password combination.
The analysis of user interactions can be carried out using the "Firebase Analytics" analysis service. Firebase Analytics is designed to capture how users interact with an app. This includes events such as the initial opening of the app, uninstallation, update, crash or frequency of use of the app. The events can also be used to record other user interests, e.g. for certain functions of the applications or certain subject areas. This can also be used to create user profiles, which can be used, for example, as a basis for the presentation of advertising tips tailored to users.
Google Firebase and the personal user data processed by Google Firebase may also be used in conjunction with other Google services such as Google Analytics and Google Marketing Services and Google Analytics (in which case device-related information such as "Android Advertising ID" and "Advertising Identifier for iOS" is also processed to identify users' mobile devices).
If we ask the users for their consent (e.g. in the context of a cookie agreement), the legal basis for this processing is Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a. DSGVO. Otherwise, the personal data of the user will be processed on the basis of our legitimate interests (i.e. interest in the analysis, optimisation and economic operation of our online service within the meaning of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f. of the German Data Protection Act).

Within our online offer, we place our trust on the basis of our legitimate interests (i.e. interest in the analysis, optimisation and economic operation of our online offer in the sense of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f. DSGVO) content or service offers from third parties in order to integrate their content and services, such as videos or fonts (hereinafter uniformly referred to as "content").
This always presupposes that the third-party providers of this content perceive the IP address of the user, since they would not be able to send the content to their browser without the IP address. The IP address is therefore required for the presentation of this content. We make every effort to use only those contents whose respective providers only use the IP address to deliver the contents. Third party providers may also use so-called pixel tags (invisible graphics, also known as "web beacons") for statistical or marketing purposes. Pixel tags" can be used to evaluate information such as visitor traffic on the pages of this website. The pseudonymous information may also be stored in cookies on the user's device and may contain, among other things, technical information about the browser and operating system, referring web pages, visit times and other information about the use of our online services, as well as may be linked to such information from other sources.
We use our website on the basis of our legitimate interests (i.e. interest in the analysis, optimisation and economic operation of our online offering in the sense of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f. DSGVO) Social Plugins ("Plugins") of the social network facebook.com, which is operated by Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland ("Facebook").

Facebook is certified under the Privacy Shield Agreement and thus provides a guarantee of compliance with European data protection law (https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt0000000GnywAAC&status=Active).
When a user calls a function of this online service that contains such a plugin, his device establishes a direct connection with the Facebook servers. The content of the plugin is transmitted directly from Facebook to the user's device and integrated into the online service by the user. User profiles can be created from the processed data. We therefore have no influence on the extent of the data that Facebook collects with the help of this plugin and therefore inform the user according to our level of knowledge.
By integrating the plugins, Facebook receives the information that a user has called up the corresponding page of the online offer. If the user is logged in to Facebook, Facebook can assign the visit to his Facebook account. When users interact with the plug-ins, for example by clicking the Like button or posting a comment, the corresponding information is transferred directly from your device to Facebook and stored there. If a user is not a member of Facebook, it is still possible for Facebook to find out his IP address and save it. According to Facebook, only an anonymous IP address is stored in Germany.
The purpose and scope of the data collection and the further processing and use of the data by Facebook as well as the related rights and setting options to protect the privacy of users can be found in Facebook's data protection information: https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/.
If a user is a Facebook member and does not want Facebook to collect information about him or her via this online service and link it to his or her Facebook member data, he or she must log out of Facebook and delete cookies before using our online service.
