Data Protection Declaration /
Duty to Provide Information According to §5 TMG & Art. 13/14 GDPR

We always process personal data such as a person’s name, address, e-mail address, or phone number in accordance with applicable privacy law.

Cookies
The Web site for bpExperts GmbH uses cookies. Cookies are text files that are downloaded and stored on a computer system through a Web browser.
There are numerous Web sites and servers that use cookies. Many cookies contain what is called a cookie ID, which acts as a unique identifier for the cookie. The ID consists of a sequence of characters through which Web sites and servers can recognize the specific Web browser in which the cookie was saved. This makes it possible for the visited Web sites and servers to differentiate between the data subject’s individual browser and other browsers that receive other cookies. Specific Web browsers can thus be recognized and identified using the unique cookie ID.
By using cookies, bpExperts GmbH can provide Web site users with more user-friendly services that would otherwise not be possible.
The use of cookies optimizes the information and offerings on our Web site for the user’s benefit. Cookies enable us to recognize the people using our Web site, as described above. The reason we seek to recognize users is so that we can make it easier for them to use our Web site. A person who uses a Web site that saves cookies, for example, does not have to repeatedly log in every time he/she visits the site, as the Web site and the cookie saved on the user’s computer take care of it for him/her. Another example is the cookie saved for a shopping basket in an online shop. The online shop remembers the items the customer puts in his/her virtual basket by using a cookie.
The data subject can at any time stop cookies being saved by our Web site by activating the corresponding settings in his/her Web browser and, in doing so, permanently object to cookies being saved. Furthermore, cookies that have already been saved can be deleted at any time using the Web browser or other software programs. This is a function available in all common Web browsers. If the data subject deactivates his/her Web browser’s cookie-saving function, it may in some cases no longer be possible to use the complete functionality of our Web site.
Data Protection Provisions for the Use of Google Analytics (with Anonymization Function)
The controller has integrated the Google Analytics component into this Web site (using the anonymization function). Google Analytics is a Web analytics service. Web analytics involves the collection, storage, and analysis of data regarding the behavior of Web site visitors. A Web analytics service records data that includes the Web site from which a data subject has arrived at another (called the “referrer”), the sub-sites that are accessed on a Web site, and the length of time spent on a sub-site. Web analytics is used primarily to optimize Web sites and for cost-benefit analyses on Internet advertising.
The company operating the Google Analytics component is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, United States.
The controller adds the “_gat.anonymizelp” feature for the Web analytics service provided by Google Analytics. This extension abbreviates and anonymizes the IP address of the data subject’s Internet connection when our Web site is visited from a member state of the European Union or European Economic Area.
The purpose of the Google Analytics component is to analyze visitor traffic to our Web site. Google uses the acquired data and information for purposes such as analysis of our Web site’s usage, composing online reports for us that display the activities on our Web site, and rendering other services associated with the usage of our Web site.
Google Analytics saves a cookie on the data subject’s information technology system. There is an explanation of what cookies are earlier in this notice. Saving cookies enables Google to analyze how our Web site is used. Every time an individual page is visited on this Web site, the latter being operated by the controller and featuring an integrated Google Analytics component, the relevant Google Analytics component automatically causes the Web browser on the data subject’s information technology system to transfer data to Google for online analysis. As part of this technological operation, Google gains knowledge of personal data such as the data subject’s IP address, which is used to enable Google to perform actions such as tracking visitor origin and clicks, which is in turn used to calculate commission.
The cookie is used to save personal information, for example time of visit, place the visit was from, and frequency of the data subject’s visits to our Web site. Every time our Web site is visited, this personal data, including the IP address for the data subject’s Internet connection, is transferred to Google in the United States. This personal data is stored by Google in the United States. In some cases, Google shares the personal data collected through these technological processes with third parties.
As already explained above, the data subject can at any time stop cookies being saved by our Web site through his/her Web browser’s corresponding settings and at the same time permanently object to cookies being saved. Web browser settings along these lines generally also prevent Google from saving cookies on the data subject’s information technology system. Furthermore, cookies that have already been saved by Google Analytics can be deleted at any time using the Web browser or other software programs.
Additionally, the data subject has the option of objecting to and preventing the acquisition of data generated by Google Analytics in relation to use of this Web site and objecting to and preventing the processing of this data by Google. To utilize this option, the data subject must download and install a browser add-on available at this link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. This browser add-on uses JavaScript to tell Google Analytics that data and information on Web site visits must not be transferred to Google Analytics. Installation of the browser add-on is deemed an objection by Google. If the data subject’s information technology system is erased, reformatted, or reinstalled at a later point in time, the data subject will have to reinstall the browser add-on to deactivate Google Analytics. If the browser add-on is uninstalled or deactivated by the data subject or a person subject to his/her influence, it is possible to reinstall or reactivate the browser add-on.
You can find more information and Google’s applicable privacy provisions at https://www.google.de/intl/en/policies/privacy/ and http://www.google.com/analytics/terms/us.html. Google Analytics is explained in more detail at https://www.google.com/intl/en_us/analytics/.
Privacy policy for the use and Application of Google Maps
The data controller has integrated Google Maps on this website.
Google Maps (API) is a web service of Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA ("Google") to display interactive (land) maps for visual representation of geographical information. By using this service, visitors to the website are shown the company's location and any directions are made easier.
Information about the use of the respective website (such as the IP address) is transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the USA as soon as the sub-pages into which the Google Maps map is integrated are accessed. This happens regardless of whether Google provides a user account through which the person concerned is logged in, or whether no user account exists. If the person concerned is logged in to Google, their data will be assigned directly to their account. If this assignment is not desired, the person concerned must log out before activating the button. Google saves the data (even for users who are not logged in) as usage profiles and evaluates them. Such an evaluation takes place in particular according to art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR on the basis of the legitimate interests of Google in the insertion of personalised advertising, market research and/or demand-oriented design of its website. You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles, whereby you must contact Google to exercise this right.
Google LLC, based in the USA, is certified for the US-European data protection agreement "Privacy Shield", which guarantees compliance with the data protection level applicable in the EU.
If the person concerned does not agree to the future transmission of his/her data to Google as part of the use of Google Maps, it is also possible to completely deactivate the Google Maps web service by switching off the JavaScript application in the browser. Google Maps and therefore also the map display on this website cannot be used.

So that fonts can be displayed consistently, this Web site uses Web fonts that are provided by Google LLC., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, United States (“Google”). When visiting a page on our Web site, the data subject’s browser loads the required Web fonts into its cache so that it can display text and fonts correctly.
For this purpose, the browser used by the data subject must establish a connection with Google’s servers. This process informs Google of the corresponding page being visited from the data subject’s IP address. We use Google Web fonts in the interest of presenting our online offering consistently and appealingly. This represents a legitimate interest as provided in GDPR art. 6(1)(f). If the data subject’s browser does not support Web fonts, the data subject’s computer will use a default font.
Google LLC., based in the United States, has been certified for the purposes of the U.S.-EU “Privacy Shield” data protection framework, which ensures compliance with the level of privacy required in the EU.
You can find more information about Google Fonts at https://developers.google.com/fonts/faq and in Google’s privacy policy at https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/.
Data Protection Provisions for the Use of Google+
On this website, the controller has integrated so-called social plugins ("plugins") of the social network Google+ on this website, which is operated by Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA ("Google"). The plug-ins can be identified, for example, by buttons with the "+1" character on a white or coloured background. An overview of the Google plug-ins and their appearance can be found here: https://developers.google.com/+/plug-ins.
When you access a page of our website that contains such a plug-in, your browser establishes a direct connection to Google's servers. The content of the plug-in is transmitted by Google directly to your browser and integrated into the page. The integration gives Google the information that your browser has called up the corresponding page of our website, even if you do not have a Google+ profile or are not currently logged in to Google+. This information (including your IP address) is transmitted directly from your browser to a Google server in the USA and stored there.
If you are logged in to Google+, Google can immediately associate your visit to our website with your Google+ profile. If you interact with the plug-ins, for example by pressing the "+1" button, the corresponding information is also transmitted directly to a Google server and stored there. The information is also published on Google+ and displayed to your contacts.
Such an evaluation takes place in particular according to art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR on the basis of the legitimate interests of Google in the insertion of personalised advertising, market research and to inform other users of the social network about the activities of the person concerned on our website and to design the service according to their needs.
If you do not want Google to associate the data collected through our site directly with your profile on Google+, you must log out of Google+ before visiting our site.
You can also completely prevent the Google plug-ins from loading with add-ons for your browser, e.g. with the script blocker "NoScript" (http://noscript.net/)

This information is collected through the Instagram component and is associated with the respective Instagram account of the data subject. If the data subject clicks on one of the Instagram buttons integrated on our website, then Instagram matches this information with the personal Instagram user account of the data subject and stores the personal data.
Instagram receives information via the Instagram component that the data subject has visited our website provided that the data subject is logged in at Instagram at the time of the call to our website. This occurs regardless of whether the person clicks on the Instagram button or not. If such a transmission of information to Instagram is not desirable for the data subject, then he or she can prevent this by logging off from their Instagram account before a call-up to our website is made.

Data Protection Provisions for the Use of YouTube
The controller has integrated components of YouTube into this Web site. YouTube is an online video portal that enables video publishers to upload video clips free of charge and enables other users to watch, rate, and comment on them, also free of charge. YouTube allows any type of video to be published, for which reason full film and television broadcasts as well as music videos, trailers, and user-made videos are available over the online portal.
The company operating YouTube is YouTube, LLC, 901 Cherry Ave., San Bruno, CA 94066, United States. YouTube, LLC is a subsidiary of Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, United States.
Every time an individual page is visited on this Web site, the latter being operated by the controller and featuring an integrated YouTube component (YouTube video), the relevant YouTube component automatically causes the Web browser on the data subject’s information technology system to download a rendering of the corresponding YouTube component from YouTube. More information about YouTube is available at https://www.youtube.com/yt/about/. This technological process involves YouTube and Google receiving knowledge of the particular sub-site on our Web site that the data subject is visiting.
If the data subject is simultaneously logged in to YouTube, YouTube will identify the specific sub-site on our Web site that the data subject is visiting if he or she visits a sub-site containing a YouTube video. This information is collected and matched with the data subject’s YouTube account by YouTube and Google.
The YouTube component always informs YouTube and Google of the data subject visiting our Web site if the data subject is simultaneously logged in to YouTube at the time of visiting our Web site, irrespective of whether the data subject clicks on a YouTube video. If the data subject does not want this information to be transferred to YouTube and Google in the described manner, he or she can prevent it being transferred by logging out of his or her YouTube account before visiting our Web site. The Privacy Policy published by YouTube, available at https://www.google.de/intl/en/policies/privacy/, provides information about the collection, processing, and usage of personal data by YouTube and Google.
