III. Types of Data Processed

Personal data is processed when you visit and use our online services. Personal data is all data that can be related to you personally, e.g. name, address, email address. If you provide us with personal data, we store and use your data in accordance with the legal requirements, e.g. for the performance of contracts, answering enquiries or pre-contractual measures. Furthermore, when you visit our website, usage data in particular, e.g. access times, websites visited, and metadata, e.g. IP addresses, information about the operating system and internet service provider, may be processed.
You will find more information about this in our data protection declaration.
 

IV. Legal Basis for the Processing of Personal Data

Your data will only be processed if there is a legal basis as specified in Art. 6 (1) GDPR, in particular

• in the event you have given your consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR,
• to fulfil a contract or to carry out a pre-contractual measure in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR. This also applies to processing operations that are necessary for the performance of pre-contractual measures,
• for the fulfilment of a legal obligation to which our company is subject pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (c) GDPR, 
• for the protection of a legitimate interest of our company or a third party pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR, provided that the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not outweigh the first-mentioned interest.

We will inform you of the relevant legal basis in each case separately for the individual processing activities in this data protection declaration. A processing operation may also be based on several legal bases.

V. Data sharing, transfer to other countries

1. Disclosure of data to processors and third parties

If, in the course of our processing, we disclose data to other persons and companies (processors or third parties), transmit it to them or otherwise grant them access to the data, this shall only be done on the basis of legal permission, in particular if

• you have expressly consented to this,
• a transfer of the data to third parties, such as payment service providers, is necessary in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR for the performance of the contract or for the implementation of pre-contractual measures,
• there is a legal obligation to do so pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (c) GDPR,
• the disclosure is necessary to protect our legitimate interests (e.g. when using agents, web hosts, etc.) and to assert, exercise or defend legal claims and there is no reason to assume that you have an overriding interest worthy of protection in the non-disclosure of your data.

If we commission third parties to process data on the basis of a so-called “order processing agreement”, this is done in accordance with Art. 28 GDPR.

2. Transfers to third countries

If we lawfully process data in a third country (i.e. outside the European Union (EU) or the European Economic Area (EEA)) or if this is done in the context of using third-party services or disclosing or transferring data to third parties, this will only be done if the special requirements of Art. 44 et seq. GDPR. Processing is carried out in particular on the basis of special guarantees, such as the officially recognised establishment of a level of data protection equivalent to that of the EU or the conclusion of the EU standard data protection clauses.

VI. Rights of the data subjects

If we process personal data, you as the data subject have the following rights:

• Right to information in accordance with Art. 15 GDPR,
• Right to rectification in accordance with Art. 16 GDPR
• Right to deletion in accordance with Art. 17 GDPR
• Right to restriction of processing in accordance with Art. Art. 18 GDPR
• Right to data portability in accordance with Art. 20 GDPR
• Right to object to processing in accordance with Art. Art. 21 GDPR

Without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, you have the right to appeal to the courts in accordance with the provisions of the law. You have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of your place of residence, place of work or place of the alleged infringement, pursuant to Article 77 GDPR, if you consider that the processing of personal data relating to you infringes the GDPR.
You can find the competent supervisory authority at: https://www.bfdi.bund.de/DE/Service/Anschriften/Laender/Laender-node.html 
The supervisory authority responsible for us is 

Bavarian State Office for Data Protection Supervision
Promenade 18
91522 Ansbach

T: 0981/180093-0
poststelle@lda.bayern.de 

VII. Right of withdrawal and right to object 

1. Object to the processing of your data

You have the right to object at any time, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to the processing of personal data relating to you which is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (e) or (f) GDPR, in accordance with Art. 21 GDPR. This is the case if the processing is not necessary, in particular, for the performance of a contract with you. When exercising your right to object, please explain the reasons why your personal data should not be processed as we have done. In the event of a justified objection, we will discontinue or adapt the data processing or demonstrate to you compelling legitimate grounds for the continuation of the processing that override your interests, rights and freedoms or serve the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims.
If the personal data concerning you is processed for the purpose of direct marketing, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you for the purpose of such marketing. If you object to processing for direct marketing purposes, the personal data concerning you will no longer be processed for these purposes.
 

2. Right to revoke the declaration of consent under data protection law

You have the right to revoke your declaration of consent under data protection law at any time. The revocation of the consent shall not affect the lawfulness of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent until the revocation.
 

3. You can inform us of your objection or revocation using the contact details above.

VIII. Deletion of data and storage period

Unless expressly stated otherwise within the scope of this data protection declaration, the data stored by us will be deleted as soon as it is no longer required for its intended purpose and the deletion does not conflict with any statutory retention obligations, e.g. in the case of data that must be retained for reasons of commercial or tax law. According to legal requirements in Germany, storage may be necessary for up to 10 years due to commercial and tax law requirements.

IX. No automated decision making, including profiling

We do not intend to use any personal data collected from you for any automated decision making process (including profiling)

B. INDIVIDUAL DATA PROCESSING

I. Collection of personal data during informative use of our website

During purely informational use of our website, i.e. if you do not log in to use the website, register or provide us with further information in the context of using a service offered, our system automatically collects data and information that your browser transmits to enable you to visit the website. This data is also stored in the log files of our system. A link with other visitor data does not take place. The legal basis for the temporary storage is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in the provision of the core functionalities of the website, which are absolutely necessary for a qualitative, secure and stable website operation.
The following data is collected: IT Landscape Requirements for SAP SuccessFactors
When you use our online services, we store the IP address and the time of the respective user action. The storage is based on our legitimate interests as well as those of the users in protection against misuse and other unauthorised use. 
The collection of log data for the provision of the website, including its storage in log files, is absolutely necessary for the operation of the website. Therefore, as a rule, there is no possibility of objection on the part of the user. This does not apply to log data that is processed in the context of various services offered on our website beyond purely informational use. You can find more information about this in the notes on the individual services in this data protection declaration.

The deletion of the log files takes place as soon as the purpose of their data processing has been achieved and further processing is no longer necessary. This is generally the case at the end of the session, but at the latest after seven days.

The hosting services of our third-party provider that we use serve to provide infrastructure and platform services, computing capacity, storage space and database services, security services and technical maintenance services that we use for the purpose of operating this website. The legal basis for this is Art. 6 (1) (b) and (f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest also lies in the functional and secure provision of this website.

II. Cookies

The website uses so-called "cookies". “Cookies” are small text files that are assigned and stored on your hard drive by the browser you are using and through which certain information is passed to the body that sets the cookie. The primary purpose of a cookie is to store information about a user (or the device on which the cookie is stored) during or after their visit within an online offer and to make the internet offer as a whole more user-friendly and effective. Some functions of our website cannot be provided without the use of cookies. Cookies cannot execute programs or transmit viruses.

We use the following types of cookies on our website:

a) Temporary cookies 
b) Permanent cookies
c) Third-party cookies

a) Temporary cookies, or “session cookies” or “transient cookies”, are cookies that are deleted after a user leaves an online service and closes their browser. 

b) “Permanent” or “persistent” cookies are cookies that remain stored even after the browser is closed. 

c) “Third-party cookies” are cookies that are offered by providers other than the responsible party that operates the online offer (otherwise, if they are only its cookies, they are referred to as “first-party cookies”).

Cookies that are required to carry out an electronic communication process or to provide certain functions that you have requested are stored in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing cookies for the technically error-free and optimised provision of its services. Insofar as other cookies or similar technologies (e.g. to analyse your surfing behaviour) are stored, these are dealt with separately in this data protection declaration. 

If you do not want cookies to be stored on your computer, you can deactivate the corresponding option in the system settings of your browser. Stored cookies can be deleted in the system settings of the browser. 
A general objection to the use of cookies for online marketing purposes can be made for a large number of services, especially in the case of tracking, via the US side or the EU side. http://www.aboutads.info/choices/ or the EU page http://www.youronlinechoices.com/ can be declared. 
Please note that you may then not be able to use all the functions of this online offer.

III. Contact, application

If you actively contact us by email, contact form or phone call, the personal data you provide will be collected and processed in order to deal with your request. This includes in particular your name and contact details (email address, address, mobile phone number) as well as other information submitted by you. 
The legal basis for this is Art. 6 (1) (b) and (f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in the processing of the request. If your contact is aimed at the conclusion or implementation of a contract, the legal basis is Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR. 
We delete email enquiries and other contacts within a reasonable period of time, within which a conclusion of a contract or the like is no longer to be expected.

IV. Registration, application

As part of the online application process, you have the opportunity to apply to us with your personal job profile. The buttons "Apply now" and "Create notification" will take you to our application platform, where you can register as a user with the help of the data requested there (such as name, e-mail address, password, place of residence). You can delete the job profile you created there at any time. 
The legal basis for data processing is Article 6(1) points b and f of the GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in the provision of a functional career website, in particular the presentation of current vacancies.

V. Google Analytics

Insofar as you have given your consent, this website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google LLC. The responsible service provider in the EU is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland ("Google").

(1) Scope of the processing

Google Analytics uses cookies that enable an analysis of your use of our websites. The information collected by means of cookies about your use of this website is generally transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there.
We use the User ID function. The User ID function allows us to assign a unique, persistent ID to one or more sessions (and the activities within those sessions) and to analyse user behaviour across devices.
We use Google Signals. This allows Google Analytics to capture additional information about users who have enabled personalised ads (interests and demographics) and ads can be delivered to these users in cross-device remarketing campaigns.

We use the function 'anonymizeIP' (IP masking): Due to the activation of IP anonymisation on this website, your IP address will be truncated by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting 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 shortened there. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.
During your visit to the website, the following data is collected, among other things:

• The pages you have accessed, your “click path”
• Achieving “website goals” (conversions, e.g. newsletter sign-ups, downloads, purchases)
• Your user behaviour (e.g. clicks, dwell time, bounce rates)
• Your approximate location (region)
• Your IP address (in shortened form)
• Technical information about your browser and the end devices you use (e.g. language setting, screen resolution)
• Your internet provider
• The referrer URL (via which website/advertising medium you came to this website)

(2) Purposes of the processing

On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of the website, and compiling reports on website activity. The reports provided by Google Analytics are used to analyse the performance of our website and the success of our marketing campaigns.

(3) Recipient

The recipient of the data is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland as processor. We have concluded an order processing agreement with Google for this purpose. Google LLC, based in California, USA, and, where applicable, US authorities may access the data stored by Google.

(4) Transfer to third countries

A transfer of data to the USA cannot be ruled out.

(5) Storage period

The data sent by us and linked to cookies are automatically deleted after 14 months . The deletion of data whose retention period has been reached takes place automatically once a month.
You can also prevent the collection of data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) to Google and the processing of this data by Google by
a. not giving your consent to the setting of the cookie or
b. downloading and installing the browser add-on for deactivating Google Analytics HERE.
You can also prevent the storage of cookies by setting your browser software accordingly. However, if you configure your browser to reject all cookies, you may experience limited functionality on this and other websites.

(6) Legal basis and revocation option

The legal basis for this data processing is your consent, Art.6 (1) (a) GDPR. You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future by accessing the Consent settings and changing your selection there.
Further information on the terms of use of Google Analytics and on data protection at Google can be found at https://marketingplatform.google.com/about/analytics/terms/de/ and at https://policies.google.com/?hl=de.

VI. YouTube

We use the YouTube service to embed videos. The responsible provider in Europe is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (“Google”). The legal basis for this is your consent according to Art.6 (1) (a) GDPR.
YouTube uses cookies to collect information about visitors to the website. YouTube uses these, among other things, to collect video statistics, prevent fraud and improve the user experience. The cookies remain on your end device until you delete them.
As soon as you start a YouTube video on our website, a connection to the YouTube servers is established. This tells the YouTube server which of our pages you have visited. If you are logged into your Google account, you enable YouTube to associate your surfing behaviour directly with your personal profile. In the process, data may be transferred to the USA and linked to further data from other Google services, in particular if you are logged in to your Google account. If you do not want this information to be transmitted to YouTube and Google, you can prevent this transmission by logging out of your Google account before accessing our website.
The data processed includes

• Information about the devices and browsers used (e.g. unique identifiers, IP address, type and settings, operating system, mobile network)
• Your activities (videos viewed, date and time of visit to the relevant page, website visited, interactions)
• Location data

We have no influence on the storage period of the data or further data processing by YouTube and Google.
To reduce data transmission before a video is actually started, we use the enhanced privacy mode. According to YouTube, this mode means that YouTube does not store any information about visitors to this website before they watch the video. However, the disclosure of data to YouTube partners is not necessarily excluded by the extended data protection mode. YouTube establishes a connection to the Google DoubleClick network when you access our website, regardless of whether you watch a video. We therefore embed the videos on our website in such a way that a transfer of your data to YouTube partners (the Google DoubleClick network) only begins with your consent.
For more information about YouTube and Google's privacy practices, please see their terms of use and privacy statements at: https://www.youtube.com/static?gl=DE&template=terms&hl=en and https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de

VII. Vimeo

We use Vimeo to integrate videos on the website in order to make our website attractive and user-friendly. The service provider is Vimeo, Inc. (555 West 18th Street, New York, New York 10011). The legal basis for this is Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR. 

When you access a page of our website on which a video is embedded, your browser establishes a connection to the Vimeo server. 
On some of our internet pages, we use plugins from the provider Vimeo. When you call up the Internet pages of our website that are provided with such a plugin - for example, when you play a video - a connection is established to the Vimeo servers and the plugin is displayed. Through this, information is transmitted to the Vimeo server as to which of our Internet pages you have visited. In addition, Vimeo obtains your IP address. 

If you are logged in as a Vimeo member, Vimeo will assign this information to your personal user account. When using the plugin, such as clicking on the start button of a video, this information is also assigned to your user account. You can prevent this assignment by logging out of your Vimeo user account before using our website and deleting the corresponding cookies from Vimeo. The information collected by Vimeo is transmitted to the Vimeo server in the USA. This also applies if you are not logged in to Vimeo or do not have an account with Vimeo. 

We use the “Do Not Track” function of Vimeo in order to reduce the transmission of personal data. 

For more information on Vimeo's privacy policy, please visit https://vimeo.com/de/features/video-privacy and https://vimeo.com/privacy.

X. Google Maps

We integrate the interactive maps of the “Google Maps” service on our website in order to display interactive maps directly on the website and to enable you to use the map function conveniently. The service provider for Europe is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland ("Google"). 
To ensure data protection on our website, Google Maps is deactivated when you enter our website for the first time. A direct connection to Google’s servers is only established when you independently activate Google Maps (consent according to Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR). This prevents your data from being transferred to Google when you first enter the page. 
If, after activation, you access a web page of our website on which Google Maps is integrated, your browser establishes a direct connection to Google’s servers. In the process, information about the use of this website may be transmitted to Google servers in the USA and linked to further data from other Google services, in particular if you are logged in to your Google account.
The data processed includes information about the devices and browsers used (e.g. unique identifier, IP address, date and time of the visit to the page in question, internet address or the URL of the website accessed) and other user data provided as part of the route planner function (e.g. location data, addresses entered, directions). 
The legal basis for the data processing is your consent according to Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR. 
The data transfer takes place regardless of whether Google provides a user account via which you are logged in or whether no user account exists. If you are logged in to Google, your data will be directly assigned to your account. If you do not wish to be associated with your Google profile, you must log out before activating the button. Google stores your data as usage profiles and uses them for the purposes of advertising, market research and/or designing its website in line with requirements. Such an evaluation is carried out in particular (even for users who are not logged in) for the provision of needs-based 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, and you must contact Google to exercise this right. 
We have no influence on the storage period and further data processing by Google. 
Further information on data processing by Google can be found at Additional Terms of Use for Google Maps/Earth - Google and Privacy policy & Terms of use - Google.

XI. Google Tag Manager

Google Tag Manager is a solution with which we can manage so-called website tags via an interface and integrate other services into our online offer. With regard to the provisions on the individual services, we refer to further details in this data protection declaration. The Tag Manager itself (which implements the tags) therefore does not yet create user profiles or store cookies. Google only learns the user’s IP address, which is necessary to run the Google Tag Manager[VH2].
The legal basis is our legitimate interest as defined in Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. This is due to the need-based design in terms of effective control of the implementation of tags as well as the optimisation of the service.
The service provider for Europe is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland ("Google"). We have concluded an order processing agreement with Google for this purpose. Google LLC, based in California, USA, and, where applicable, US authorities may access the data stored by Google. For further information, please visit: https://marketingplatform.google.com and https://policies.google.com/privacy.

XII. LinkedIn Insight Tag (LinkedIn Pixel)

(1) We use the so-called LinkedIn Insight tag (or LinkedIn Pixel) on our website. The service provider responsible for the EU is LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company, Wilton Plaza, Wilton Place, Dublin 2, Ireland.
The legal basis for this is your consent according to Art.6 (1) (a) GDPR.
By including this JavaScript tag, you as a user of our website may be presented with interest-based advertisements (“Ads”) relevant to you when visiting the LinkedIn social network or other websites that also use the process, and we receive statistics about website visitors and demographics. Furthermore, we can evaluate your use of our LinkedIn advertising and interest in our offers by means of a conversion tracking function and also show you LinkedIn ads on other websites via retargeting. We do this in the interest of improving the effectiveness of LinkedIn ads and making our website more interesting for you. 

(2) By integrating the LinkedIn Insight tag, your browser automatically establishes a direct connection with LinkedIn’s server, both when visiting the LinkedIn website and websites that have the LinkedIn Insight tag built in. We and LinkedIn are jointly responsible for collecting your usage data when you visit our website and transmitting it to the provider, but LinkedIn is solely responsible for the relevant processing to carry out the purposes described once the data has been transmitted.
We have no influence on the extent and nature of the use of the data by LinkedIn, we therefore inform you according to our state of knowledge: By integrating the LinkedIn Insight tag, LinkedIn receives the information that you have accessed the corresponding web page of our website or clicked on an advertisement from us. If you are registered with a LinkedIn service, LinkedIn can assign the visit to your account. Even if you are not registered with LinkedIn or have not logged in, there is a possibility that the provider will learn your IP address, time slot and other identifiers and link them to the actions associated with you. The data is deleted after 90 days.
We do not have access to the personal data processed by LinkedIn. We only receive the statistics generated from this in anonymised form.
LinkedIn also processes your personal data in the US and has imposed a standard on itself that is equivalent to the former EU-US Privacy Shield.

(3) The legal basis for the processing of your data is Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR, i.e. the integration only takes place after your consent. You can revoke your consent at any time, most easily via our Consent Tool.
In addition, the deactivation of the LinkedIn Insight tag and other advertising objections is possible in the settings for advertisements at https://www.linkedin.com/help/linkedin/answer/62931?trk=microsites-frontend_legal_privacy-policy&lang=en and at https://www.linkedin.com/psettings/guest-controls/retargeting-opt-out.
Further setting options and information can be found in the LinkedIn Privacy Center: https://privacy.linkedin.com/de-de?lr=1/.

(5) For further information on the LinkedIn Insight tag, please visit https://business.linkedin.com/de-de/marketing-solutions/insight-tag?lr=1/ and on data processing by LinkedIn, please see the data protection information at https://www.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy?trk=homepage-basic_footer-privacy-policy/.

XI. Facebook marketing services (Facebook Pixel, Conversion Tracking, Custom Audiences)

Within our website, we use the “Facebook Pixel” and associated marketing services of the social network Facebook for the purpose of analysing, optimising and economically operating our online offer. The service provider responsible for the EU is Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Dublin 2, Ireland (hereinafter "Facebook").
The legal basis for this is your consent according to Art.6 (1) (a) GDPR.

(1) The following data processing takes place:
With Facebook Pixel, it is possible for Facebook, on the one hand, to determine the visitors to our online offer as a target group for the display of advertisements (“Facebook ads”), in that we can track your actions after you have viewed or clicked on an advertisement on Facebook. Accordingly, we use Facebook Pixel to display Facebook Ads placed by us only to those Facebook users who have also shown an interest in our online offer or who have certain characteristics (e.g. interests in certain topics or products determined on the basis of the websites visited) that we transmit to Facebook.

With Facebook Pixel, we also want to make sure that our Facebook ads match the potential interest of the users and are not harassing. With Facebook Pixel, we can also track the effectiveness of Facebook ads for statistical and market research purposes by seeing whether users were redirected to our website after clicking on a Facebook ad (“conversion”).
 
We also use the additional function “advanced matching” when using Facebook Pixel (data such as telephone numbers, email addresses of newsletter recipients or Facebook IDs of users) to create target groups (“Custom Audiences” or “Look Alike Audiences”) which are transmitted to Facebook (encrypted).

The upload is used solely to determine recipients of our Facebook ads. We want to make sure that the ads are only shown to users who are interested in our information and services.
The data collected in this way is anonymous for us. However, these are stored and processed by Facebook so that a connection to your Facebook account is possible and Facebook uses the data for its own advertising purposes in accordance with the data usage policy. This concerns the user name, cookie ID, user ID and advertising ID. For further information on the “advanced matching”, please visit https://www.facebook.com/business/help/611774685654668.

(2) Due to the marketing tools used, your browser automatically establishes a direct connection with the Facebook server when you visit our website. We have no influence on the scope and further use of the data collected by Facebook through the use of this tool and therefore present the processes known to us: By integrating Facebook Pixel, Facebook receives the information that you have accessed the corresponding web page of our website or clicked on an advertisement from us. If you are registered with a Facebook service, Facebook can assign the visit to your account. Even if you are not registered with Facebook or have not logged in, it is possible that the provider will learn your IP address and other identifying features and use them to create your profile.
The information collected is transferred to and stored on Facebook servers in the USA or in other third countries. These data transfers are necessary to provide the services set out in the Meta Terms of Use. For these cases, the provider says it has imposed a standard on itself that is equivalent to the former EU-US Privacy Shield and has promised to comply with applicable data protection laws when transferring data internationally. Facebook uses standard data protection clauses approved by the European Commission (see https://www.facebook.com/help/566994660333381?ref=dp) or adequacy decisions issued (see https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/law-topic/data-protection/international-dimension-data-protection/adequacy-decisions_en). 

(3) General information on the display of Facebook ads (advertisements), in Facebook's data usage policy can be found at https://www.facebook.com/policy.php. Specific information and details about the Facebook Pixel and how it works can be found in Facebook’s help section: https://www.facebook.com/business/help/651294705016616.
In addition to the possibility of revoking your consent at any time with effect for the future via our Consent banner, you have the following options to object to the collection by the Facebook pixel and the use of your data for the display of Facebook ads:
To set what types of ads are shown to you within Facebook, you can go to the page set up by Facebook and follow the instructions there for usage-based advertising settings: https://www.facebook.com/settings/ads, https://de-de.facebook.com/help/568137493302217.
You can also opt out of the use of cookies for reach measurement and advertising purposes via the Network Advertising Initiative opt-out page (http://optout.networkadvertising.org/) and additionally the US website (http://www.aboutads.info/choices) or the European website (http://www.youronlinechoices.com/uk/your-ad-choices/).
