Storage Duration

Unless a more specific storage period has been stated within this privacy policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for the data processing no longer applies. If you make a legitimate request for deletion or revoke your consent to data processing, your data will be deleted unless we have other legally permissible reasons for storing your personal data (e.g., retention periods under tax or commercial law); in the latter case, the data will be deleted once these reasons no longer apply.

Notice on Data Transfer to Non-Secure Third Countries and the Transfer to US Companies That Are Not DPF-Certified

We use tools from companies based in non-secure third countries in terms of data protection, as well as US tools whose providers are not certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework (DPF). When these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to these countries and processed there. We point out that in non-secure third countries, no level of data protection comparable to that in the EU can be guaranteed.

We would like to point out that the USA is generally considered a secure third country with a data protection level comparable to that of the EU. Data transfer to the USA is permissible if the recipient is certified under the “EU-US Data Privacy Framework” (DPF) or has suitable additional guarantees. Information on transfers to third countries, including the recipients of the data, can be found in this privacy policy.

Recipients of Personal Data

In the course of our business activities, we work with various external parties. This sometimes requires the transfer of personal data to these external parties. We only transfer personal data to external parties if this is necessary for contract fulfillment, if we are legally obligated to do so (e.g., data transfer to tax authorities), if we have a legitimate interest in the data transfer based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, or if another legal basis permits the data transfer. When using processors, we only transfer personal data of our customers based on a valid data processing agreement. In the case of joint processing, a joint processing agreement is concluded.

Revocation of Your Consent to Data Processing

Many data processing operations are only possible with your explicit consent. You can revoke consent that you have already given at any time. The legality of the data processing carried out until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

Right to Object to Data Collection in Special Cases and to Direct Advertising (Art. 21 GDPR)

IF DATA PROCESSING IS BASED ON ART. 6(1)(E) OR (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; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING BASED ON THESE PROVISIONS. THE RESPECTIVE LEGAL BASIS ON WHICH PROCESSING IS BASED CAN BE FOUND IN THIS PRIVACY POLICY. IF YOU OBJECT, WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR AFFECTED PERSONAL DATA UNLESS WE CAN DEMONSTRATE COMPELLING LEGITIMATE GROUNDS FOR THE PROCESSING THAT OVERRIDE YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS, AND FREEDOMS OR THE PROCESSING IS FOR THE ESTABLISHMENT, EXERCISE, OR DEFENSE OF LEGAL CLAIMS (OBJECTION ACCORDING TO ART. 21(1) GDPR).

IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA IS PROCESSED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA FOR SUCH MARKETING, INCLUDING PROFILING TO THE EXTENT THAT IT IS RELATED TO SUCH DIRECT MARKETING. IF YOU OBJECT, YOUR PERSONAL DATA WILL THEN NO LONGER BE USED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES (OBJECTION ACCORDING TO ART. 21(2) GDPR).

Right to Lodge a Complaint with the Competent Supervisory Authority

In the event of violations of the GDPR, data subjects have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, particularly in the member state of their habitual residence, place of work, or place of the alleged violation. This right to lodge a complaint exists without prejudice to other administrative or judicial remedies.

Right to Data Portability

You have the right to have data that we process based on your consent or in fulfillment of a contract automatically delivered to you or a third party in a commonly used, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only be done to the extent technically feasible.

Information, Correction, and Deletion

Within the framework of the applicable legal provisions, you have the right to free information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients, and the purpose of the data processing, and if applicable, a right to correction or deletion of this data. For this, as well as for further questions on the topic of personal data, you can contact us at any time.

Right to Restrict Processing

You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. You can contact us at any time for this purpose. The right to restrict processing exists in the following cases:

• If you contest the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we usually need time to verify this. For the duration of the verification, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.

• If the processing of your personal data happened/ happens unlawfully, you can request the restriction of data processing instead of deletion.

• If we no longer need your personal data but you need it for exercising, defending, or asserting legal claims, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of deletion.

• If you have lodged an objection according to Art. 21(1) GDPR, a balance must be struck between your interests and ours. As long as it is not yet clear whose interests predominate, 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, these data – apart from their storage – may only be processed with your consent or for the establishment, exercise, or defense 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 a member state.

Google Tag Manager

We use Google Tag Manager, provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

Google Tag Manager is a tool that helps us integrate tracking or statistical tools and other technologies on our website. The Tag Manager itself does not create user profiles, store cookies, or conduct its own analyses. It merely facilitates the management and deployment of the tools integrated through it. However, Google Tag Manager does capture your IP address, which may be transmitted to Google’s parent company in the United States.

The use of Google Tag Manager is based on Art. 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the quick and uncomplicated integration and management of various tools on his website. If consent has been requested, processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25(1) TDDDG, to the extent that the consent includes the storage of cookies or access to information on the user’s device (e.g., device fingerprinting) within the meaning of the TDDDG.

Google Analytics

This website uses functions of the web analytics service Google Analytics, provided by Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

Google Analytics enables the website operator to analyze the behavior of website visitors. The website operator receives various usage data, such as page views, duration of visits, operating systems used, and the user’s origin. This data is assigned to the user’s respective device. No user ID assignment is carried out.

Furthermore, we can record your mouse and scroll movements and clicks with Google Analytics. Google Analytics also uses various modeling approaches to supplement the collected datasets and employs machine learning technologies in data analysis.

Google Analytics uses technologies that allow the recognition of users for the purpose of analyzing their behavior (e.g., cookies or device fingerprinting). The information collected by Google about the use of this website is generally transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there.

The use of this service is based on your consent under Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25(1) TDDDG. Consent can be revoked at any time.

Data transfer to the USA is based on the EU Commission’s standard contractual clauses. Details can be found here: Google’s Data Privacy.

The company is certified under the “EU-US Data Privacy Framework” (DPF). The DPF is an agreement between the European Union and the United States to ensure compliance with European data protection standards in US data processing.

IP Anonymization

We have activated IP anonymization on this website. As a result, your IP address is truncated by Google within member states of the European Union or other parties to the Agreement on the European Economic Area before being transmitted to the USA. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and truncated there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, compile reports on website activity, and provide other services related to website and internet usage for the website operator. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other data from Google.

Browser Plugin

You can prevent the collection and processing of your data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at the following link: Google Opt-out Plugin.

More information on how Google Analytics handles user data can be found in Google’s privacy policy: Google Support.

Contract Data Processing

Google Ads

The website operator uses Google Ads, an online advertising program of Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

Google Ads enables us to display advertisements in the Google search engine or on third-party websites when the user enters specific search terms in Google (keyword targeting). Additionally, targeted ads can be displayed based on user data available to Google (e.g., location data and interests) (audience targeting). As the website operator, we can quantitatively evaluate this data by analyzing, for example, which search terms led to the display of our ads and how many ads resulted in corresponding clicks.

The use of this service is based on your consent under Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25(1) TDDDG. Consent can be revoked at any time.

Data transfer to the USA is based on the EU Commission’s standard contractual clauses. Details can be found here: Google Policies and Google Controller Terms.

LinkedIn Insight Tag

This website uses the Insight Tag from LinkedIn, provided by LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company, Wilton Plaza, Wilton Place, Dublin 2, Ireland.

Data Processing by LinkedIn Insight Tag

The LinkedIn Insight Tag allows us to obtain information about visitors to our website. If a website visitor is registered with LinkedIn, we can analyze the professional data of our website visitors (e.g., career level, company size, country, location, industry, and job title) and better tailor our site to our target audiences. Furthermore, we can measure whether visitors to our websites complete a purchase or perform another action (conversion measurement). Conversion measurement can also occur across devices (e.g., from PC to tablet). LinkedIn Insight Tag also offers a retargeting function that allows us to show visitors to our website targeted advertising outside the website, without identifying the advertising recipient, according to LinkedIn.

LinkedIn also collects so-called log files (URL, referrer URL, IP address, device and browser characteristics, and time of access). The IP addresses are truncated or (if used to reach LinkedIn members across devices) hashed (pseudonymized). Direct identifiers of LinkedIn members are deleted by LinkedIn after seven days. The remaining pseudonymized data is then deleted within 180 days.

The data collected by LinkedIn cannot be assigned to specific individuals by us as the website operator. LinkedIn will store the collected personal data of website visitors on its servers in the USA and use it for its own advertising purposes. For details, please refer to LinkedIn’s privacy policy: LinkedIn Privacy Policy.

Legal Basis

If consent has been requested, the use of the above service is based exclusively on Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25 TDDDG. Consent can be revoked at any time. If no consent was requested, the use of this service is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR; the website operator has a legitimate interest in effective advertising measures, including social media.

Data transfer to the USA is based on the EU Commission’s standard contractual clauses. Details can be found here: LinkedIn DPA and LinkedIn SCCs.

Objection to LinkedIn Insight Tag

You can object to the analysis of your usage behavior and targeted advertising by LinkedIn via the following link: LinkedIn Retargeting Opt-out.

In addition, LinkedIn members can control the use of their personal data for advertising purposes in their account settings. To prevent LinkedIn from linking the data collected on our website with your LinkedIn account, you must log out of your LinkedIn account before visiting our website.

Contract Data Processing

We have entered into a contract data processing agreement to use the above service. This is a data protection contract required by law to ensure that the service processes the personal data of our website visitors only according to our instructions and in compliance with the GDPR.

6. Newsletter

Newsletter Data

If you wish to receive the newsletter offered on the website, we require an email address from you and information that allows us to verify that you are the owner of the provided email address and agree to receive the newsletter. Additional data will not be collected or only on a voluntary basis. We use this data exclusively for sending the requested information and do not pass it on to third parties.

The processing of the data entered in the newsletter registration form is based solely on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). You can revoke your consent to the storage of the data, the email address, and its use for sending the newsletter at any time, for example, via the “unsubscribe” link in the newsletter. The legality of the data processing operations already carried out remains unaffected by the revocation.

The data you provide to us for the purpose of receiving the newsletter will be stored by us until you unsubscribe from the newsletter and deleted from the newsletter distribution list after you unsubscribe. Data that we have stored for other purposes remains unaffected.

After unsubscribing from the newsletter distribution list, your email address may be stored in a blacklist with us or the newsletter service provider if this is necessary to prevent future mailings. The data from the blacklist will only be used for this purpose and not merged with other data. This serves both your interest and our interest in complying with legal requirements for sending newsletters (legitimate interest under Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). The storage in the blacklist is indefinite. You can object to the storage if your interests outweigh our legitimate interest.
