We take data protection seriously: as a matter of principle, we only process personal data if this is necessary for the provision of a service or offer or if it is provided voluntarily by the user. 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.
If you have applied for a job with us, you will find the necessary data protection information here.
We collect the data that is generated when you access our digital offers automatically. Otherwise, we collect data based on your entries or messages or through the use of cookies or similar technologies.

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.
You can contact the data protection officer with your request by mail or by email at swmh-datenschutz@atarax.de.
This privacy policy is updated from time to time. The date of the last update can be found at the beginning of this information.
You will find detailed data protection information below.
If cookies, device identifiers, or other personal data are stored or accessed on your device for processing purposes, this is done on one of the legal bases of Art. 6 GDPR.
In order to be able to provide the telemedia service you have expressly requested, we also take into account the provisions of Section 25 of the German Telecommunications Digital Services Data Protection Act (TDDDG), in particular the requirement under Section 25 (2) No. 2 TDDDG.
You can find an overview of the technologies used under Privacy settings.
Cookies are text files that contain data from visited websites or domains and are stored by a browser on users' devices. A cookie primarily serves to store information about a user during or after their visit to an online offering. The stored information may include, for example, language settings on a website, login status, a shopping cart, or video interactions. The term “cookies” also includes other technologies that perform the same functions as cookies (e.g., when user information is stored using pseudonymous online identifiers, also known as “user IDs”).
There are the following types of cookies and functions:
When our offer is used, we automatically employ essential technologies and process the following information:
The collection of these logs and their temporary storage and processing are necessary to ensure system security and integrity (in particular to ward off and defend against attempts at attack or damage) and are carried out in accordance with our legitimate interest (§ 25 (2) No. 2 TDDDG, Art. 6 (1) f GDPR).
The storage period for this log data is usually seven days; for reliable detection of AI bots, it is 30 days. From this point on, this specific server log data is anonymized based on our legitimate interest in statistical evaluation to assess AI bots and their impact on our content (Art. 6 (1) f GDPR).
The legal basis for the aforementioned data processing is our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f) GDPR.
The following tools and cookies are strictly necessary technologies, i.e., essential for providing our services as requested by the user.

The Google Tag Manager service is an organizational tool that enables us to control services. The tool only uses the IP address to establish a connection to the server and to function technically. Otherwise, no personal data is processed by the tool itself. Tag Manager ensures that other services are only executed if the conditions (tags) specified in Tag Manager are met. This allows us to ensure, for example, that tools requiring consent are only loaded after you have given your consent. Tag Manager does not access the data processed by the tools.
In order to obtain and store your consent under data protection law, we use the consent management platform from Sourcepoint (Sourcepoint Technologies, Inc., 228 Park Avenue South, #87903, New York, NY 10003-1502, United States). This platform uses strictly necessary cookies to query the consent status and thus display the corresponding content.
The data is stored for a maximum of 13 months.
| Cookie | Purpose | Duration | Type |
|---|---|---|---|
| consentUUID | UniqueUserID to store the user's consent status | 12 months | Cookie |
| _sp_su | Identification of users for sampling consent rates reporting | 12 months | Cookie |
| _sp_user_consent | UniqueUserID to retrieve the user's consent status stored in our database if necessary | Unlimited | Local storage |
| _sp_local_state | Determines whether a user has seen the consent banner so that it is only shown once | unlimited | local storage |
| _sp_non_keyed_local_state | Information about the metadata and the user's UniqueUserID | unlimited | local storage |
Auf unseren Seiten wird ein Player eingebunden, mit dem wir Videostreams und Livestreams direkt auf unserer Webseite darstellen.
Um die Anzahl der Player-Aufrufe messen zu können, setzen wir mit Ihrer Einwilligung einen Cookie. Dieser enthält eine Zufallszahl (im Bereich von 500.000 Möglichkeiten) und die Anzahl der Player-Aufrufe aus diesem Browser. Die Speicherdauer beträgt maximal 24 Stunden.
Für die Bereitstellung und Promotion von Livestreams unserer Events nutzen wir speziell gestaltete Landingpages. Diese Seiten sind optimiert, um eine hohe Benutzerfreundlichkeit zu gewährleisten und gleichzeitig die Privatsphäre der Nutzer zu schützen, indem Daten nur im erforderlichen Umfang verarbeitet werden. Hierzu verwenden wir einen unbedingt erforderlichen Session-Cookie (PHPSESSID).
We use cookies and tracking tools to optimize our digital offerings based on your usage. To do this, we measure the development of reach and the use of content and functions, and use A/B testing to determine which variants users prefer.
We want to continuously develop and improve our products. To do this, we need to analyze usage. This serves to evaluate visitor traffic to our digital offerings and may include behavior, interests, or demographic information about visitors, such as age or gender, as pseudonymous values. With its help, we can see, for example, when our digital offerings are used most frequently or which functions are popular. This enables us to identify areas that need optimization.
In addition to usage analysis, we also use testing procedures to test different versions of our digital offerings or their components, for example, and to increase certain user actions or reactions if necessary.
For these purposes, profiles, i.e., data summarized for a usage process, are created and information is stored in a browser or on a terminal device and read from it. The information collected includes, in particular, websites visited and elements used there, as well as technical information such as the browser used, the computer system used, and information on usage times.
The IP addresses of users are also stored. We use an IP masking procedure (i.e., pseudonymization by shortening the IP address) for your protection. In general, no clear data of users (such as email addresses or names) is stored in the context of web analysis, A/B testing, and optimization, but rather pseudonyms, so that neither we nor the providers of the software used, who act as processors for us, know the actual identity of the users.
Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics (Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland) to measure and analyze the use of our online offering on the basis of a pseudonymous user identification number. This identification number does not contain any unique data such as names or email addresses. It serves to assign analytics information to a device in order to determine which content users have accessed within one or more usage processes, which search terms they have used, whether they have accessed this content again, or how they have interacted with our online offering. The time and duration of use are also stored, as well as the sources of users who refer to our online offering and technical aspects of their end devices and browsers. In the process, pseudonymous profiles of users are created with information from the use of different devices, and cookies may be used.
Google Analytics does not log or store individual IP addresses for EU users. However, Analytics provides approximate geographic location data by deriving the following metadata from IP addresses: city (and the derived latitude and longitude of the city), continent, country, region, subcontinent (and ID-based counterparts). For EU traffic, IP address data is used exclusively for this derivation of geolocation data before it is immediately deleted. It is not logged, is not accessible, and is not used for any further purposes. When Google Analytics collects measurement data, all IP queries are carried out on EU-based servers before the traffic is forwarded to Analytics servers for processing. The retention period for the data is 14 months (this concerns data at user and event level). Aggregated data is anonymized and is not deleted.
Google is our processor, with whom we have concluded the agreements required for this purpose. We have also taken measures to ensure appropriate and adequate safeguards for the protection of personal data in the context of transfers to third countries by concluding EU standard contractual clauses and, where necessary, implementing additional measures to protect the rights of data subjects.
The legal basis for data processing is your consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR.
Eine Übersicht aller von uns eingesetzten Tools und Cookies inkl. Speicherdauer sowie eine Widerrufsmöglichkeit erhalten Sie in den Datenschutz-Einstellungen im Footer der jeweiligen Website.
When you contact us, we only collect personal data (e.g. name, e-mail address, telephone number) if you provide it to us voluntarily. This information is expressly provided on a voluntary basis. The purpose of processing your data is to process and respond to your enquiry. This is also our legitimate interest in data processing in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f) GDPR.
In the case of a telephone enquiry, your data will also be processed by telephone applications and in some cases also via a voice dialogue system in order to support us in the distribution and processing of enquiries.
We will delete your data that we have received in the course of contacting you as soon as your request has been fully processed and no further communication with you is required or requested by you.
We also use your contact data beyond contract-related use for advertising purposes. This is only done if you have expressly consented (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR) or on the basis of our legitimate interest in a personalised customer approach or direct advertising (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR), for example for information about the same and similar products of our company (Section 7 para. 3 UWG).
If you no longer wish to receive advertising, you can withdraw your consent or object to advertising at any time.
The data processed by us will be deleted as soon as they are no longer required for their intended purpose, you have objected to the advertising and the deletion does not conflict with any statutory retention requirements.

In order to show you adverts for our own products, we use the services of advertising partners or cooperate with advertising partners and advertising networks (remarketing). These use cookies, pixels or similar technical means to display and analyse advertisements.
Adverts can be adapted to the respective user, for example by using information from the browser on usage (such as pages visited, visiting times, length of stay). User-specific adverts are also possible. In addition, analyses of reach or for billing purposes can be carried out in pseudonymised form. The details of the services used, co-operation partners and individual objection options are presented below.
You can obtain an overview of all the tools and cookies we use as well as a cancellation option by clicking on Data protection settings.
To draw attention to our offers, we run ads on the Google Search Network and display banners on the Google Display Network (banners on third-party websites), and we use Google Ads and Analytics remarketing. We can combine ads with search terms or use custom ads to promote products and services that you have viewed on our site. With Ads remarketing lists, we can optimize search and display campaigns if you have previously visited our site.
For this interest-based advertising, Google analyzes your user behavior using cookies that are set when you click on ads or visit our websites. We and Google then receive information indicating that you clicked on an ad and were redirected to our site. Based on these analyses, we can identify which of the advertising measures we use are particularly effective and can optimize them accordingly.
The statistics provided to us by Google include the number of users who clicked on one of our ads and show which of our web pages you were redirected to. In addition, we can target you more effectively if you have already visited our website. We can also track which search terms resulted in particularly frequent ad clicks and which ads lead to actions such as purchasing a subscription.
Due to the marketing tools used, your browser automatically establishes a direct connection to Google’s server. We have no control over the scope and further use of the data collected by Google through the use of this tool and therefore provide you with the following information to the best of our knowledge: Through the integration of Google Ads, Google receives information that you have accessed the relevant section of our website or clicked on one of our ads. If you are registered with a Google service, Google may associate your visit with your account. Even if you are not registered with Google or are not logged in, it is possible that the provider may obtain and store your IP address.
You can find more information on this in the notes on website statistics and in [Google’s](https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads?hl=de “Google Ads Privacy Policy”) privacy policy.
You can prevent this practice by disabling cookies in your browser settings, opting out of specific types of ads in Google’s ad settings, disabling interest-based ads on Google, or disabling cookies from ad providers using the relevant opt-out tool provided by the Network Advertising Initiative. We and Google will then only receive statistical information about how many users visited a page and when. This can only be prevented by using appropriate browser extensions.
The legal basis for the aforementioned data processing is Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR.

Right to object
If your personal data is processed on the basis of legitimate interests in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f) GDPR or Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. e) GDPR, you have the right to object to the processing of your personal data in accordance with Art. 21 GDPR. In the event of such an objection, we will no longer process your personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override the interests, rights and freedoms of the data subject or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.
In the case of direct marketing, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you. If you object to processing for direct marketing purposes, the personal data will no longer be processed for these purposes.
Right to lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority
You have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority against the processing of your personal data if you feel that your rights under the GDPR have been violated. As a rule, you can contact the supervisory authority of your usual place of residence, your workplace or our company headquarters.
With this privacy policy, we fulfil the information obligations under the GDPR. Our General Terms and Conditions also contain data protection information. These explain in detail how your personal data, which we require to fulfil contracts and for the purpose of identity and credit checks, is processed.
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.
We reserve the right to change or adapt this privacy policy at any time in compliance with the applicable data protection regulations.
