We also use technical and operational security measures to protect personal data against accidental or intentional manipulation, loss, destruction or access by unauthorised persons. We regularly review and modernise these precautions.

In order to use our digital services, it may be necessary to transfer certain personal data to third countries, i.e. countries where the GDPR does not apply. However, we only allow your data to be processed in a third country if the specific requirements of Art. 44 ff. GDPR are met and thus an adequate level of data protection is guaranteed in that country. This means that the third country must either have an adequacy decision by the European Commission or suitable safeguards in accordance with Art. 46 GDPR or one of the conditions of Art. 49 GDPR. Unless otherwise stated below, we use the currently valid [standard contractual clauses](https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/DE/TXT/HTML/? uri=CELEX:32021D0914&from=DE “current version of the standard contractual clauses”) for the transfer of personal data to processors in third countries.
In order to protect your privacy and ensure a level of protection appropriate to the risk, we take technical and organizational measures in accordance with legal requirements, taking into account the state of the art, implementation costs, and the nature, scope, circumstances, and purposes of processing, as well as the varying likelihood and severity of threats to the rights and freedoms of natural persons. These measures ensure the confidentiality, integrity, availability, and resilience of your data. This includes, among other things, the use of recognized encryption methods (SSL or TLS) and pseudonymization.
However, we would like to point out that, due to the structure of the Internet, it is possible that the rules of data protection and the above-mentioned security measures may not be observed by other persons or institutions outside our area of responsibility. In particular, unencrypted data disclosed, e.g., by email, may be read by third parties. We have no technical influence on this.
We delete or anonymize your personal data as soon as it is no longer required for the purposes for which we collected or used it.
However, we may still need to store your data until the expiry of the retention obligations and periods imposed by the legislator or supervisory authorities, which may arise from the German Commercial Code, the German Fiscal Code, and the German Money Laundering Act (usually 6 to 10 years). In addition, we may retain your data until the expiry of the statutory limitation periods (i.e., usually 3 years, but in individual cases up to 30 years) if this is necessary for the assertion, exercise, or defense of legal claims. After that, the relevant data will be deleted.

The advertising use of your personal data is of particular importance to Facebook. We use the statistics function to learn more about the visitors to our fan page. Using this function enables us to tailor our content to the respective target group. For example, we also use demographic information on users’ age and origin, whereby no personal reference is possible for us. In order to provide the social media service in the form of our Facebook fan page and to use the Insights function, Facebook generally stores cookies on the user’s end device. These include session cookies, which are deleted when the browser is closed, and persistent cookies, which remain on the end device until they expire or are deleted by the user. As a user, you can decide via your browser settings whether and which cookies you wish to allow, block or delete. You can find instructions for your browser here: Internet Explorer, Firefox, Google Chrome, Google Chrome mobile, Microsoft Edge, Safari, Safari mobile (links). Alternatively, you can also install so-called ad blockers, such as Ghostery.

Under the aforementioned link, you can manage your preferences regarding usage-based online advertising. If you use the preference manager to object to usage-based online advertising for a particular provider, this only applies to the specific data collection carried out via the web browser currently in use. The preference management is cookie-based. Deleting all browser cookies will also remove the preferences you set using the preference manager.

For statistical evaluation purposes, we use the Facebook Insights function. In this context, we receive anonymised data on the users of our Facebook fan page. However, by means of the filters provided by Facebook, we specify the categories of data for which Facebook provides anonymised statistics. Facebook makes the following criteria or categories available to us in anonymised form for evaluating the activities on our presence, provided that the corresponding information has been supplied by the user or collected by Facebook:
These anonymised data are used to analyse user behaviour for statistical purposes so that we can better tailor our offerings to the needs and interests of our audience.

We link to websites of other providers or have integrated elements from them into our website. This data protection information does not apply to them - we have no influence on these sites and cannot check that others comply with the applicable data protection regulations.
