• The name of the file

• The date and time of the request

• The amount of data transferred

Our website uses the consent management tool “CCM19” provided by Papoo Software & Media GmbH, Auguststraße 4, 53229 Bonn, Germany.

CCM19 obtains and documents your consent for the storage of cookies and the use of external services in compliance with data protection regulations. This ensures that cookies and services are only used based on your consent. Consent is stored via a cookie or similar mechanism to be recognised during future visits.

The legal basis for using CCM19 is Article 6(1)(c) GDPR (compliance with legal obligations) and Article 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in a user-friendly and legally compliant website).

Further information on CCM19’s data protection can be found at: https://docs.ccm19.com/funktionen/datenschutz/

6. Google Analytics & Google Tag Manager

Our website uses Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager, services provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

Google Analytics enables analysis of website usage. Cookies may be set and information such as IP address, browser type, pages visited, and duration of visit may be processed. IP addresses are stored in anonymised form, preventing direct personal identification.

Data processing occurs solely based on your explicit consent via our cookie consent tool in accordance with Article 6(1)( a) GDPR. A data processing agreement has been concluded with Google. Data may be transferred to Google LLC servers in the USA. An adequate level of data protection is ensured through EU-approved standard contractual clauses.

Google Tag Manager manages website tags, such as those used for Google Analytics or other services. The Tag Manager itself does not process personal data but may technically trigger data transfers (e.g. IP address) when external scripts are embedded. Use is also based solely on your consent via our cookie consent tool.

7. Embedding Google Drive Videos

a.) Introduction

Our website includes videos provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland ("Google"). These videos are hosted via Google Drive and serve solely to present video content to our website visitors.

b.) Data Processing and Consent

Videos are only played after you have given explicit consent via our cookie consent manager (CCM19). By consenting, you agree to data processing by Google Ireland Limited. The legal basis is Article 6(1)(a) GDPR.

c.) Categories of Personal Data

When playing videos, the following personal data may be transmitted to Google:

• User’s IP address

• Date and time of access

• Browser and operating system information

• The webpage where the video is embedded

• Usage data (e.g. playback start, end, duration, interactions)

• Possibly information from your Google account if logged in

Google may use this data to create user profiles and personalise advertising.

d.) Withdrawal of Consent

You may withdraw your consent at any time with future effect by adjusting your settings in the cookie consent manager (CCM19). Instructions can be found in the CCM19 documentation or within our consent manager settings. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing prior to withdrawal.

e.) Data Transfer to Third Countries (USA)

It is possible that data related to Google Drive video usage may be transferred to Google servers in the USA. The USA is considered a third country under data protection law. Transfers are based on the EU-US Data Privacy Framework (DPF), provided Google LLC is certified under this framework. The European Commission issued an adequacy decision on 10 July 2023 confirming an adequate level of protection for certified US companies. More information: Data protection adequacy for non-EU countries

If not covered by the DPF, transfers occur based on your explicit consent under Article 49(1)(a) GDPR. In this case, please note that the USA does not offer a level of data protection comparable to the EU. Your data may be processed by US authorities for monitoring purposes without effective legal remedies.

8. Use of Google NotebookLM

Description and Purpose
We use the AI-powered service Google NotebookLM provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. This service supports us internally in creating, structuring, and optimising content for our website. We process our own drafts, notes, and research materials for this purpose.

Processed Data and Data Flow
Google NotebookLM is used exclusively for internal editorial purposes. No personal data from you as a visitor to this website is collected, processed, or transmitted to Google. The use of this service has no direct impact on your visit and does not set any cookies on your device.

Legal Basis
The use of Google NotebookLM is based on our legitimate interest pursuant to Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in the efficient and high-quality creation and maintenance of our website content to provide you with an appealing and informative offering.

Data Processing Agreement and Data Transfer to the USA
For Google services involving the processing of personal data on our behalf, we have concluded a Data Processing Agreement (DPA) with Google in accordance with Article 28 GDPR. This agreement ensures that Google processes data solely according to our instructions and in compliance with the strict data protection requirements of the GDPR. As the parent company of Google Ireland Limited, Google LLC is based in the USA, a data transfer to the USA cannot be ruled out. This transfer is legitimised by the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (DPF), as Google LLC is certified under this framework. If the DPF does not apply in individual cases, the data transfer is based on the EU Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) pursuant to Article 46(2)(c) GDPR to ensure an adequate level of data protection.

Further Information
For more information on Google’s data protection practices, please refer to Google’s privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy

9. Use of Chatbase AI Chatbot (Consent-Gate Solution)

On this website, an interactive chatbot from the platform Chatbase is embedded (provider: Chatbase.co Inc., Toronto, Canada; server location: USA). The chatbot is used exclusively for voluntary communication with website visitors and is activated and loaded only after your explicit consent via a consent-gate solution. Before your consent is given, no data is transferred to Chatbase or third parties.

a.) Functionality and Data Processing

The chatbot uses generative AI technology (e.g. GPT-4o) to generate appropriate responses based on your inputs. The AI only processes content from this website and the texts you enter. There is no direct connection to OpenAI or Google.
No registration is required. No personal data is permanently stored. There is no profiling, no tracking, and no profiling-based decision-making. Only technically necessary session cookies are used to maintain the chatbot during your active session.
Data is processed solely for providing and improving the chatbot’s service. No further processing beyond that occurs.
The chatbot is trained exclusively on the content of this website and only answers questions related to that content.

b.) Data Processing Agreement and International Data Transfer

Between TELEDTV Digital Marketing (Controller) and Chatbase.co Inc. (Processor), a Data Processing Agreement (DPA) pursuant to Article 28 UK GDPR / EU GDPR exists. This agreement ensures Chatbase processes personal data only on documented instructions and implements appropriate technical and organisational security measures per Article 32 GDPR.
Some personal data (e.g. your IP address, browser metadata, chat inputs) may be transmitted to servers in the United States. Since there is no adequacy decision for the U.S. under Article 45 GDPR, transfers rely on Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) under Article 46 GDPR. Chatbase has also applied Supplementary Measures to maintain an adequate level of protection.

c.) Risks

Despite the safeguards and SCCs, it cannot be ruled out that U.S. authorities may access data under U.S. laws, without offering comparable legal recourse to data subjects in the UK/EU. This residual risk is inherent in data transfers to third countries.

d.) Consent & Your Options

The chatbot’s use is voluntary and only becomes active after your informed and explicit consent via the consent gate. Without your consent, the Chatbase iframe will not load and no data will be processed.

You may withdraw consent at any time with future effect by closing the chatbot or reloading the page without activating the chat again. Once withdrawn, the chatbot is immediately blocked. No external tools or third parties can activate the chatbot without your prior consent.

e.) Privacy Contact & Further Information

If you have questions about data protection or wish to exercise your rights under Articles 15 ff. GDPR (e.g. access, rectification, deletion), contact the controller named in our general Privacy Policy. Alternatively, you may contact Chatbase directly:

• privacy@chatbase.co

• support@chatbase.co

• support@chatbaseco.zendesk.com

10. Social Plugins

a.)Facebook (inactive)

This website uses so-called social plugins from the social network facebook.com, operated by Facebook Inc., 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA ("Facebook"). These plugins are typically recognisable by the "thumbs-up" icon. An overview of Facebook’s social plugins can be found at: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/

When you access this website, a connection is established between your browser and Facebook’s servers. The content of the plugin is transmitted directly from Facebook to your browser and integrated into the website. We therefore have no control over or knowledge of the scope of data collected by Facebook via this plugin.

By integrating the plugin, Facebook receives information that a user has accessed the corresponding page of our website. If you are logged into Facebook, Facebook can associate the visit with your Facebook account. If you interact with the plugin (e.g. click it), the relevant information is transmitted directly from your browser to Facebook and stored there. Even if you are not a Facebook member, Facebook may still collect and store your IP address. According to Facebook, IP addresses are anonymised in Germany.

Further information on the purpose and scope of data collection and its processing and use by Facebook, as well as your rights and settings options, can be found at: http://www.facebook.com/policy.php

You can also block Facebook social plugins using browser add-ons such as "Facebook Blocker" or "AdBlock Plus" for Firefox. More information: http://t3n.de/news/blockierst-facebook-tracking-345091/

b.) X (formerly Twitter, inactive)

This website includes the Tweetmeme button provided by Twitter Inc., 795 Folsom St., Suite 600, San Francisco, CA 94107, USA. It is recognisable by the Twitter logo. The button allows you to share a post or page from our website on Twitter or follow us there.

When you access this website, a connection is established with X’s servers. The content of the button is transmitted directly from X to your browser. We have no control over or knowledge of the scope of data collected by X via this button. According to current knowledge, only the user’s IP address and the URL of the respective page are transmitted when the button is loaded, and not used for other purposes beyond displaying the button.

Further information: https://x.com/de/privacy

c.) Xing (profile linking)

This website uses the "XING Share Button". When you access this site, your browser briefly connects to servers of XING AG ("XING") to enable the button’s functionality (especially to calculate/display the counter value). XING does not store any personal data when you access this site. In particular, XING does not store IP addresses or analyse user behaviour via cookies in connection with the "XING Share Button".

Current data protection information for the "XING Share Button" is available at: https://www.xing.com/app/share?op=data_protection

d.)LinkedIn (profile linking)

Privacy notice for the use of the LinkedIn Recommend Button: This website integrates plugins from the social network LinkedIn, operated by LinkedIn Corporation, 2029 Stierlin Court, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA ("LinkedIn"). These plugins are recognisable by the LinkedIn logo or the "Share" button on this site.

When you visit this website, a direct connection is established between your browser and LinkedIn’s servers via the plugin. LinkedIn receives information that you have visited this site with your IP address. If you click the LinkedIn "Share" button while logged into your LinkedIn account, you can link content from this site to your LinkedIn profile. LinkedIn may then associate your visit with your user account.

We have no knowledge of the content of the transmitted data or its use by LinkedIn. Details on data collection, processing, and your rights can be found in LinkedIn’s privacy policy: http://www.linkedin.com/static?key=privacy_policy&trk=hb_ft_priv

e.) YouTube

Our website integrates videos from the YouTube platform, operated by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. To comply with the requirements of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and to protect your privacy, we use the Cookie Consent Management Tool CCM19.

The integration of YouTube videos is carried out via a special iframe blocking by CCM19. This means that when you access a page with an embedded YouTube video, no direct connection to YouTube's servers is initially established, and therefore no personal data, such as your IP address or usage behaviour, is transmitted without your explicit consent. Instead, a placeholder is displayed.

Only after you have actively given your consent via our Cookie Consent Tool (CCM19) and clicked on the video's placeholder will the video be loaded and a connection to YouTube established. At this moment, personal data may be transferred to YouTube and processed by Google. We use YouTube's extended data protection mode, which ensures that data is only transmitted when the video is actually played, after consent has been given via CCM19.

The legal basis for processing your data in connection with YouTube videos is your consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. You can withdraw your consent at any time for the future by adjusting your cookie settings.

Google LLC is certified under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework, which ensures an adequate level of data protection for data transfers to the USA. Further information on data processing by Google can be found in Google's privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de

11. HubSpot (currently no direct website integration)

We currently do not use a direct technical integration of HubSpot on our website. However, HubSpot is used to manage contact data if you provide it to us via email or other means. No automatic data transfer from the website to HubSpot takes place at this time. This section will be updated if integration is implemented.

More information: https://legal.hubspot.com/de/privacy-policy

12. Hostinger Website Builder

Our website was created using the Hostinger Website Builder, a service provided by Hostinger International Ltd., 61 Lordou Vironos Street, Larnaca 6023, Cyprus. Hostinger provides technical infrastructure for hosting, content delivery network (CDN), security features, and website optimisation.

When visiting our website, personal data such as your IP address, device information, browser data, and usage behaviour is transmitted to Hostinger. Processing is based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in a secure and high-performance website).

Hostinger processes data in accordance with GDPR and is certified under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework. Server locations include the EU (e.g. Lithuania, Netherlands).

13. SSL/TLS Encryption via Hostinger

This website uses SSL/TLS encryption for security and to protect the transmission of confidential content. You can recognise an encrypted connection by the “https://” prefix in your browser’s address bar and the padlock icon. Encryption ensures that data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

14. Server Log Files via Hostinger

Websites created with the Hostinger Website Builder do not store traditional server log files by default. No personal data such as IP addresses or access times is automatically logged.

15. Bing Webmaster Tools

We use Bing Webmaster Tools from Microsoft Corporation, One Microsoft Way, Redmond, WA 98052-6399, USA, to analyse and optimise our website. No personal data such as IP addresses or user behaviour is processed, as no tracking functions are integrated.

Use is solely for technical improvement of the website under Article 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest). More information: https://www.microsoft.com/de-de/privacy/privacystatement

16. Web Fonts

We use web fonts on this website to ensure consistent typography. These fonts are delivered via a Content Delivery Network (CDN) operated by Cloudflare, Inc. To serve the fonts, processing of the website visitor’s IP address is technically required. Cloudflare operates server locations within the EU, so data transfers to third countries generally do not occur. If, in individual cases, data is transferred to the USA, this is based on the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework.

Legal basis: Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in providing a uniform and visually appealing presentation of our website.

17. Third-Party Website Links

We use a service on our website to display current weather information. The provider of this service is OpenWeather Ltd., 41A, Vilton Str., 3011, Limassol, Cyprus ("OpenWeatherMap").

a.) Nature and Purpose of Data Processing

To display current weather data for the predefined location “Neuss, Germany,” our web server sends an automated request to the OpenWeatherMap API. This request does not contain any personal data.
