Google Analytics uses "cookies", which are text files placed on your computer, to help the website analyse how users use the site. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. However, if IP anonymisation is activated on this website, your IP address will first be truncated by Google within member states of the European Union or in other signatory states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and truncated there. Google will use this information on behalf of the operator of this website to analyse your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide the website operator with other services relating to website activity and internet usage.
(2) The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.
(3) You may refuse the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser, however please note that if you do this you may not be able to use the full functionality of this website. You can also prevent Google from collecting the data generated by the cookie and relating to your use of the website (including your IP address) and from processing this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available at the following link: tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
(4) As an alternative to the browser add-on, especially for browsers on mobile devices, you can also prevent Google Analytics from collecting data by clicking on this link.

§ 5 Use of wiredminds
Our website uses the pixel-code technology of wiredminds GmbH (www.wiredminds.de) to analyse visitor behaviour.
Data may be collected, processed and stored, from which user profiles are created under a pseudonym. Where possible and appropriate, these user profiles are completely anonymised. Cookies may be used for this purpose. Cookies are small text files that are stored in the visitor's Internet browser and are used to recognise the Internet browser. The data collected, which may also contain personal data, is transmitted to wiredminds or collected directly by wiredminds. wiredminds may use information left behind by visits to the websites to create anonymised user profiles. The data obtained in this way will not be used to personally identify the visitor to this website without the separately granted consent of the person concerned and will not be merged with personal data about the bearer of the pseudonym. If IP addresses are recorded, they are immediately anonymised by deleting the last block of numbers.
Exclude from tracking.
§ 6 Social media plug-ins
(1) We currently use the following social media plug-ins: [Facebook, Twitter, Xing, LinkedIn]. We use the so-called two-click solution. This means that when you visit our website, no personal data is initially passed on to the providers of the plug-ins. You can recognise the provider of the plug-in by the marking on the box above its initial letter or the logo. We give you the option of communicating directly with the provider of the plug-in via the button. Only if you click on the marked field and thereby activate it will the plug-in provider receive the information that you have accessed the corresponding website of our online offering. In addition, the data mentioned under § 3 of this declaration will be transmitted. In the case of Facebook and Xing, according to the respective providers in Germany, the IP address is anonymised immediately after collection. By activating the plug-in, your personal data is therefore transmitted to the respective plug-in provider and stored there (for US providers in the USA). As the plug-in provider collects data via cookies in particular, we recommend that you delete all cookies via your browser's security settings before clicking on the greyed-out box.
(2) We have no influence on the data collected and data processing procedures, nor are we aware of the full extent of data collection, the purposes of processing or the storage periods. We also have no information on the deletion of the data collected by the plug-in provider.
(3) The plug-in provider stores the data collected about you as usage profiles and uses these for the purposes of advertising, market research and/or customising its website. Such an evaluation is carried out in particular (even for users who are not logged in) to display customised advertising and to inform other users of the social network about your activities on our website. You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles, whereby you must contact the respective plug-in provider to exercise this right. We offer you the opportunity to interact with the social networks and other users via the plug-ins so that we can improve our offering and make it more interesting for you as a user. The legal basis for the use of the plug-ins is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR.
(4) Data is passed on regardless of whether you have an account with the plug-in provider and are logged in there. If you are logged in with the plug-in provider, your data collected by us will be assigned directly to your existing account with the plug-in provider. If you press the activated button and, for example, link the page, the plug-in provider also saves this information in your user account and shares it publicly with your contacts. We recommend that you log out regularly after using a social network, but especially before activating the button, as this way you can avoid being assigned to your profile with the plug-in provider.
(5) Further information on the purpose and scope of data collection and its processing by the plug-in provider can be found in the data protection declarations of these providers provided below. There you will also find further information on your rights in this regard and setting options to protect your privacy.

(2) When you visit the website, YouTube receives the information that you have accessed the corresponding subpage of our website. In addition, the data mentioned under § 3 of this declaration will be transmitted. This occurs regardless of whether YouTube provides a user account through which you are logged in or whether no user account exists. If you are logged in to Google, your data will be assigned directly to your account. If you do not wish your data to be associated with your YouTube profile, you must log out before activating the button. YouTube stores your data as usage profiles and uses them for the purposes of advertising, market research and/or customising its website. Such an evaluation is carried out in particular (even for users who are not logged in) to provide customised advertising and to inform other users of the social network about your activities on our website. You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles, whereby you must contact YouTube to exercise this right.

§ 8 Further functions and offers on our website
(1) In addition to the purely informational use of our website, we offer various services that you can use if you are interested. To do so, you must generally provide additional personal data that we use to provide the respective service and to which the aforementioned data processing principles apply.
(2) In some cases, we use external service providers to process your data. These have been carefully selected and commissioned by us, are bound by our instructions and are regularly monitored.
(3) Furthermore, we may disclose your personal data to third parties if this is necessary for the performance of the contract, to enforce our rights, in particular to enforce claims arising from contractual relationships, and to protect our own legitimate business interests with regard to advising and supporting our customers, as well as if we offer contracts or similar services together with partners. You will receive more detailed information on this when you provide your personal data or in the description of the offer below.
(4) If our service providers or partners are based in a country outside the European Economic Area (EEA), we will inform you of the consequences of this circumstance in the description of the offer.
§ 9 Provision of the online offer
We use an external service provider for the provision of our online offer: Perspective Software GmbH, Mailbox 659770, D-96035 Bamberg (hereinafter referred to as "Perspective"). Perspective itself stores your data exclusively on European servers. However, there is a possibility that your data may be accessible to organisations in the United States of America, as Perspective uses sub-processors based in the USA. As the Commission of the European Union has determined that the data protection laws of the United States do not ensure an adequate level of protection for personal data collected from data subjects in the European Union, Perspective provides additional measures and safeguards for data transfers to the United States in accordance with the requirements of the GDPR to ensure an adequate level of protection. For example, through the conclusion of standard contractual clauses between Perspective and the sub-processors.
I. Description and scope of data processing
Perspective processes your data for us so that we can provide you with our online services. For this purpose, your IP address is automatically transmitted to Perspective in order to transmit the content and functions of our online services to your browser or device.
The following data may be collected:
Information about the browser type and version used
The operating system of your computer
The internet service provider you use
The IP address of your end device
The date and time you accessed the funnel
Websites from which you came to our website ("referrer")
II Legal basis for data processing
Perspective stores the data mentioned under I. in so-called log files. This is done to ensure
ensuring a smooth connection to the website,
to ensure a comfortable use of our website
analysing system security and stability and
for other administrative purposes.
The temporary storage of the IP address by the system is also necessary to enable the website to be delivered to your computer. For this purpose, the IP address of your computer must remain stored for the duration of the session.
Our legitimate interest in data processing also lies in these purposes. The legal basis for data processing is therefore Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR.
III Duration of the processing
The personal data processed by Perspective is deleted as soon as it is no longer required to fulfil the purpose for which it was collected:
In the case of the collection of data for the provision of the website, this is the case when the respective session has ended.
In the case of storage of the IP address in log files, this is the case after 7 days at the latest.
IV. Rights of data subjects
You have the right to receive information about the origin, recipient and purpose of your stored personal data free of charge at any time. You also have the right to request the correction, blocking or deletion of this data. You can contact us at any time at the address given in the legal notice if you have any further questions on the subject of data protection. Furthermore, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority in the event of violations of the GDPR.
Because data processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR, you have the right to object to the processing of your personal data at any time for reasons arising from your particular situation. If you object, we will no longer process your personal data concerned unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms or the processing serves the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims (objection pursuant to Art. 21 para. 1 GDPR). Since the collection of data for the provision of the website and the storage of data in log files is absolutely necessary for the operation of our website, there should be no possibility for you to object in most cases.
You also have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data under certain circumstances. The right to restriction of processing exists in the following cases
If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we usually need time to verify this. For the duration of the review, you have the right to request that the processing of your personal data be restricted.
If the processing of your personal data was/is carried out unlawfully, you can request the restriction of data processing instead of erasure.
If we no longer need your personal data, but you need it for the exercise, defence or assertion of legal claims, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of its erasure.
If you have lodged an objection in accordance with Art. 21 para. 1 GDPR, a balance must be struck between your interests and ours. As long as it has not yet been determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, this data - apart from its storage - may only be processed with your consent or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or of a Member State.
Contact and enquiry management
We use an external service provider to provide contact, enquiry or application forms: Perspective Software GmbH, Mailbox 659770, D-96035 Bamberg (hereinafter referred to as "Perspective"). Perspective itself stores your data exclusively on European servers. However, there is a possibility that your data may be accessible to organisations in the United States of America because Perspective uses sub-processors based in the USA. As the Commission of the European Union has determined that the data protection laws of the United States do not ensure an adequate level of protection for personal data collected from data subjects in the European Union, Perspective provides additional measures and safeguards for data transfers to the United States in accordance with the requirements of the GDPR to ensure an adequate level of protection. For example, through the conclusion of standard contractual clauses between Perspective and the sub-processors.
I. Description and scope of data processing
When using Perspective's contact, enquiry or application forms, the following data is transmitted to Perspective's servers
Date and time of access

Files uploaded by you
II Purpose Legal basis for data processing
The purpose of this data processing is to ensure the communication you have recorded.
The processing of your data from contact, enquiry or application forms is therefore initially based on your consent. The legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR. If a contract is initiated via an enquiry form, the legal basis is also Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b GDPR. The legal basis for the processing of data in an application form may be Art. 88 GDPR in conjunction with 26 BDSG in addition to Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR.
III Duration of the processing
Your personal data will be stored for as long as it is necessary to fulfil the purpose of processing or until you withdraw your consent. Exceptions to this principle are data that Perspective must retain due to legal obligations. These include, for example, retention obligations under commercial and tax law. These retention periods are - currently - up to ten years
IV. Rights of data subjects
You have the right to receive information about the origin, recipient and purpose of your stored personal data free of charge at any time. You also have the right to request the correction, blocking or deletion of this data. You can contact us at any time at the address given in the legal notice if you have any further questions on the subject of data protection. Furthermore, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority in the event of violations of the GDPR.
You can revoke your consent to data processing at any time by sending us an informal message (e.g. by e-mail). The revocation does not affect the legality of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent until the revocation.
You also have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data under certain circumstances. The right to restriction of processing exists in the following cases
If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we generally need time to verify this. For the duration of the review, you have the right to request that the processing of your personal data be restricted.
If the processing of your personal data was/is carried out unlawfully, you can request the restriction of data processing instead of erasure.
If we no longer need your personal data, but you need it for the exercise, defence or assertion of legal claims, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of its erasure.
If you have lodged an objection in accordance with Art. 21 para. 1 GDPR, a balance must be struck between your interests and ours. As long as it has not yet been determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, this data - apart from its storage - may only be processed with your consent or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or of a Member State.
§ 10 Use of our customer portal
(1) If you wish to use our portal, you must register by entering your e-mail address, a password of your choice and a user name of your choice. There is no obligation to use a clear name; pseudonymous use is possible. We use the so-called double opt-in procedure for registration, i.e. your registration is not complete until you have confirmed your registration by clicking on the link contained in a confirmation e-mail sent to you for this purpose. If you do not confirm your registration within [24 hours], your registration will be automatically deleted from our database. The provision of the aforementioned data is mandatory; you can provide all other information voluntarily by using our portal.
(2) If you use our portal, we will store your data required for the fulfilment of the contract, including details of the payment method, until you finally delete your access. Furthermore, we store the voluntary data you provide for the duration of your use of the portal, unless you delete it beforehand. You can manage and change all information in the protected customer area. The legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR.
(3) If you use the portal, your data may become accessible to other portal participants in accordance with the contractual service. Members who are not logged in will not receive any information about you. Your [user name and photo] are visible to all registered members, regardless of whether you have shared them. In contrast, your entire profile with the data you have shared is visible to all members who have confirmed you as a personal contact. If you make content accessible to your personal contacts that you do not send via a private message, this content will be visible to third parties if your personal contact has authorised it. If you post content in public groups, this content will be visible to all registered members of the portal.
(4) To prevent unauthorised access by third parties to your personal data, in particular financial data, the connection is encrypted using TLS technology.
§ 11 Data security
We use the widespread SSL (Secure Socket Layer) method in conjunction with the highest level of encryption supported by your browser when you visit our website. As a rule, this is 256-bit encryption. If your browser does not support 256-bit encryption, we use 128-bit v3 technology instead. You can recognise whether an individual page of our website is transmitted in encrypted form by the closed display of the key or lock symbol in the lower status bar of your browser.
We also use suitable technical and organisational security measures to protect your data against accidental or intentional manipulation, partial or complete loss, destruction or unauthorised access by third parties. Our security measures are continuously improved in line with technological developments.
§ 12 Amendment of the privacy policy
We reserve the right to update this privacy policy from time to time, in particular to take account of changing legislation or case law. We therefore recommend that you visit this website regularly so that you are informed about the protection and processing of your data.
§ 13 General
We at L.B. Bohle also take data protection within the company very seriously.
The relevant statutory regulations require that personal data be processed in such a way that the rights of the persons affected by the processing to the confidentiality and integrity of their data are guaranteed. These regulations prohibit the unauthorised or unlawful processing of personal data or the intentional or unintentional breach of processing security in a way that leads to the destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorised disclosure or unauthorised access.
Our employees have therefore been obliged by us to maintain confidentiality and in particular to comply with the data protection regulations for maintaining confidentiality in accordance with Art. 5 Para. 1 f, Art. 32 Para. 4 of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Accordingly, employees are prohibited from processing or using personal data without authorisation or making it accessible to third parties in any form. If external service providers are commissioned by L.B. Bohle to process personal data for the first time, they are contractually obliged to comply with the requirements of Art. 28 GDPR.
