1. objective and responsibility
This privacy policy explains how, to what extent and for what purpose we process your data. This only concerns data collected within our online offer (hereinafter also referred to as “website”).

The provider of the online offer is Dr. Petra R. Moog, representing the PULS Group, Kürtenstraße 41, 40472 Düsseldorf (hereinafter referred to as “provider”, “we” or “us”). For the contact possibilities we refer to our imprint.
The term “user” includes all customers and visitors of our online offer.
2. basic information on data processing
We process personal data of users in compliance with the relevant data protection provisions in accordance with the principles of data economy and data avoidance. This means that the users’ data is only processed if we have legal permission to do so. This is especially true when,
– if the data is necessary for us to fulfill our contractual services or
– if it is required by law or
– if you have consented to the data processing.
We take organizational, contractual and technical security measures in accordance with the state of the art to ensure that the provisions of data protection laws are complied with. In this way, we protect the data we process against accidental or intentional manipulation, loss, destruction or against access by unauthorized persons.
If content, tools or other means from other providers (hereinafter collectively referred to as “Third-Party Providers”) are used within the scope of this data protection declaration, it must be assumed that data is transferred to the countries in which the Third-Party Providers are based. The transfer of data to third countries takes place either on the basis of a legal permission, the consent of the users or special contractual clauses that guarantee a legally required security of the data.
3. processing of personal data
The personal data will be processed, in addition to the uses expressly mentioned in this Privacy Policy, for the following purposes based on legal authorizations or consents of the users*:
Providing, executing, maintaining, optimizing and securing our services and user benefits.
If you contact us via contact form or e-mail, we store this data in order to process your request and respond to you.
Personal data is deleted as soon as it has fulfilled its intended purpose and there are no retention obligations that prevent its deletion.
4. collection of access data
We collect data about every access to the server on which this service is located (so-called server log files). The access data includes the name of the website accessed, file, date and time of access, amount of data transferred, notification of successful access, browser type and version, operating system of the person using the website, referrer URL (the previously visited page), IP address and requesting provider.
In accordance with legal requirements, we use the collected data only for statistical evaluations for the purpose of the operation, security and optimization of our online offer. We use the log data without assignment to a natural person (user). We do not create a profile of the person using the service. However, we reserve the right to check the log data retrospectively if there is a justified suspicion of unlawful use on the basis of concrete indications.
5. cookies and reach measurement
Cookies are pieces of information that are transferred from our web server or third-party web servers to the user’s web browser and stored there for later retrieval. Users are informed about the use of cookies in the context of pseudonymous reach measurement as part of this privacy policy.
As a user, you can also use our online offer without cookies. So that cookies are NOT stored on your computer, disable the appropriate setting in your browsers. You can also delete previously stored cookies in your browser system settings. Please note that the exclusion of cookies may lead to functional restrictions of this online offer.
Further note: You can manage many online ad cookies from companies via the EU site http://www.youronlinechoices.com/uk/your-ad-choices/ or via the US site http://www.aboutads.info/choices.
6. facebook social plug-ins
Our online offer uses social plug-ins (“plug-ins”) of the social network facebook.com. This is operated by Facebook Ireland Ltd, 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland. The plug-ins are recognizable by one of the Facebook logos (white “f” on a blue tile, the terms “Like”, “Like” or a “thumbs up” sign) or are marked with the addition “Facebook Social Plugin”. You can view a list of Facebook social plug-ins here : https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/.
If you, as a user, call up a function of our online offer that contains such a plug-in, a direct connection to the Facebook servers is established. The content of the plug-in is transmitted by Facebook directly to your device and integrated by it into the online offer. In doing so, a usage profile of you can be created from the processed data. We have no influence on the scope of the data that Facebook collects with the help of this plug-in and therefore inform users according to our state of knowledge.
If you are logged in to Facebook as a user, Facebook can assign the visit to your Facebook account. When users interact with the plugins, for example by clicking the Like button or commenting, the corresponding information is transmitted from your device directly to Facebook and stored there. If you are not a member of Facebook, Facebook can still obtain and store your IP address. According to Facebook, only an anonymized IP address is stored in Germany.
The purpose and scope of the data collection and the further processing and use of the data by Facebook, as well as the related rights and settings options for protecting the privacy of users, can be found in Facebook’s privacy policy: https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/.
If you are a Facebook member but do not want Facebook to collect and link data about you via our website, you must log out of Facebook and delete your cookies before using our online offer.
Further settings and objections to the use of data for advertising purposes are possible within the Facebook profile settings: https://www.facebook.com/settings?tab=ads.
You can also object to the use of your data for advertising purposes via the EU site http://www.youronlinechoices.com/odervia the U.S. site http://www.aboutads.info/choices/. The settings are platform-independent, i.e. they are applied to all devices such as desktop computers and mobile devices.
7. integration of services and contents of third parties
It may happen that content or services from third-party providers are integrated within our online offer, for example city maps or fonts from other websites. The integration of content from third-party providers always requires that the third-party providers are aware of the IP address of the users, since without the IP address they cannot send the content to the users’ browser. The IP address is thus required for the display of this content. Furthermore, the third-party providers can set their own cookies and process the users’ data for their own purposes. This processed data can be used to create usage profiles of the users. We will use this content in a data-saving and data-avoiding manner as far as possible and select reliable third-party providers with regard to data security.
The following presentation provides an overview of third-party providers and their content, links to their privacy statements, which contain further information on the processing of data and opt-out options:
