and device you are using, information about the operating system you are using, pages visited, referrer URL (website from which you
accessed our website), location data, purchasing activities. Adobe uses the information obtained on our behalf to evaluate your use of the
website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide further services to the website operator in connection with website and internet
use. The data recorded is generally transmitted to an Adobe server in the USA and stored there. For the USA, no adequacy decision from
the EU Commission is available. The data transfer takes place, among other things, on the basis of standard contractual clauses as suitable
guarantees for the protection of personal data. We will provide you with a copy of the standard contractual clauses upon request. Adobe
has activated IP encryption. As a result, your IP address will be irreversibly anonymised by Adobe within member states of the European
Union or in other states that are party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area.
The processing of your personal data is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR out of our predominantly legitimate interest in the needs-based
and targeted design of the website. On grounds relating to your particular situation, you have the right to object at any time to this
processing of personal data concerning you. To prevent data collection and storage by Adobe across all devices, you can activate an
opt-out cookie at https://www.adobe.com/de/privacy/opt-out.html#customeruse. Opt-out cookies prevent the future collection of your data
when you visit this website. You need to implement the opt-out on all systems and devices that you are using for this to work
comprehensively. If you delete the opt-out cookie, requests will be sent to Adobe again. Alternatively, you can prevent the use of cookies by
third parties by accessing the Network Advertising Initiative deactivation page at https://www.networkadvertising.org/choices/ and following

pages visited, referrer URL (website via which you accessed our website), location data, purchasing activities. The IP address transmitted
from your browser within the scope of Google Analytics is not associated with any other data held by Google. Google Analytics uses

information generated by these regarding your use of this website is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored
there. Google relies on standard contractual clauses as suitable guarantees for the protection of personal data, available
at: https://policies.google.com/privacy/frameworks and https://business.safety.google/adsprocessorterms/.Both Google and the US
government authorities have access to your data. Google may combine your data with other data, such as your search history, personal
accounts, usage data from other devices and any other information Google has about you.
IP anonymisation is activated on this website. Google uses this to shorten your IP address beforehand within Member States of the
European Union or in other signatories to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address
be transferred to a Google server in the USA and shortened there.
The processing of your personal data is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR due to our overriding legitimate interest in the needs-based and
targeted design of the website. On grounds relating to your particular situation, you have the right to object at any time to this
processing of personal data concerning you.
You can also prevent the collection of the data (including your IP address) generated by Google Analytics and related to your use of the
website by Google as well as the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available at the
following link [https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de]. To prevent the data collection and storage by Google Analytics across
multiple devices you can place an opt-out cookie. Opt-out cookies prevent the future collection of your data when you visit this website. You
need to implement the opt-out on all systems and devices that you are using, so that this works comprehensively. If you delete the opt-out
cookie, requests will be transmitted to Google again. When you click here the opt-out cookie will be placed: Deactivate Google Analytics.
