Data processing by visiting the website

When you access our website, it is technically necessary that data is transmitted to our web server via your Internet browser. The following data is recorded during an ongoing connection for communication between your Internet browser and our web server:

Inventory data (e.g. name, address),
Contact details (e.g. email, phone number),
Content data (e.g. text input),
Usage data (e.g. websites visited, access times),
Meta/communication data (e.g. device information, IP addresses).

For reasons of technical security, in particular to prevent attempted attacks on our web server, we may store this data for a short time. It is not possible to draw conclusions about individual persons based on this data. After seven days at the latest, the data is anonymized by shortening the IP address at domain level so that it is no longer possible to establish a connection to the individual user. This data will not be evaluated in any way except for statistical purposes in an anonymized form. This data will not be merged with data from other data sources.

SSL or TLS encryption

For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content that you send to us as the website operator, our website uses SSL or TLS encryption. This means that data that you transmit via this website cannot be read by third parties. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the “https://” address line of your browser and the lock symbol in the browser line.

server log files

The website provider automatically collects and stores information that your browser automatically transmits to us in server log files. These are:

Visited page on our domain,
Date and time of the server request,
browser type and version,
Operating system used,
Referrer URL,
hostname of the accessing computer,
IP address.

This data will not be merged with other data sources. The basis for data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b EU GDPR, which permits the processing of data to fulfill a contract or to take pre-contractual measures.

translation service

This website uses the translation service Weglot, registered at 138 rue Pierre Joigneaux, 92270 Bois-Colombes, France. Weglot is registered in Nanterre Trade, company register no. 818 164 964.

Weglot is loaded when you visit the website, so you can change the language to a language other than German using the language icon in the footer of the website. This allows a direct connection to be established between your browser and the Weglot server when you visit this website. Weglot therefore receives the information that you have visited this website using your IP address.

The storage and analysis of the data is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f EU GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in presenting a significant portion of its website in common languages for non-German-speaking visitors. If a corresponding consent has been requested (e.g. consent to the storage of cookies), the processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a EU GDPR. Your consent can be revoked at any time. For more information, please see Weglot’s privacy policy:https://weglot.com/privacy/.

If you contact us via contact form, email or via our social media channels (e.g. If you contact us via e-mail (e.g. posts, comments or private messages), your details from the inquiry form, your email or direct message, including the contact details you provided there, will be used to process your request. The provision of data is necessary to process and answer your request - without it we cannot answer your request or can only answer it to a limited extent. The information may be stored in our customer relationship management system (CRM) HubSpot. If you contact us via our social media channels (e.g. Contributions, comments or private messages) we would like to point out that the respective social media provider also transmits your information to us.

Your data will be deleted if your request has been conclusively answered and there are no statutory retention periods that prevent deletion, such as in the case of any subsequent contract processing. In the case of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f EU GDPR, you can object to the processing of your personal data at any time with future effect.

We use HubSpot on our website for marketing and support activities. When you use the contact form, the data you submit is collected by the external provider HubSpot and is subject to its privacy policy.

online presence in social networks

YouTube

Our website uses YouTube plugins to integrate and display video content. The provider of the video portal is YouTube LLC, 901 Cherry Ave., San Bruno, CA 94066, USA.

We use the “enhanced data protection mode” option provided by YouTube. When you visit a page that has an embedded YouTube video, a connection is established to the YouTube servers. The YouTube server is informed which of our pages you have visited. According to YouTube, in “extended data protection mode” your data – in particular device-specific information including the IP address – will only be transmitted to the YouTube server in the USA if you actively click on the video. YouTube can assign your surfing behavior directly to your personal profile if you are logged into your YouTube account. You can prevent this by logging out beforehand.

We use YouTube in the interest of an appealing presentation of our online offerings. This represents a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f EU GDPR.

According to YouTube, the data collected can also be transferred to the USA and other third countries. YouTube ist eine 100%-ige Tochtergesellschaft der Google LLC. Google is an active participant in the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, which regulates the correct and secure transfer of personal data of EU citizens to the USA. For more information, see https://commission.europa.eu/document/fa09cbad-dd7d-4684-ae60-be03fcb0fddf_en. In addition, YouTube uses so-called standard contractual clauses (Article 46 (2) and (3) EU GDPR). Standard contractual clauses are templates provided by the EU Commission which ensure that the processing of your personal data when transferred to a third country (such as the USA) is subject to a level of security equivalent to that of the EU GDPR. You can find the relevant standard contractual clauses here: https://eur-lex.europa.eu/eli/dec_impl/2021/914/oj?locale=en. Through the EU-US Data Privacy Framework and the standard contractual clauses, YouTube undertakes to comply with the European level of data protection when processing your relevant data, even if the data is stored, processed and managed in the USA.

Details on how Google Analytics handles user data can be found in Google’s privacy policy: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245?hl=de.

We use Google Analytics in conjunction with the IP anonymization function. This ensures that Google shortens your IP address within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area before transmitting it to the USA. There may be exceptional cases in which Google transmits the full IP address to a server in the USA and shortens it there. On our behalf, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide us with other services relating to website activity and internet usage. The IP address transmitted by Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.

The setting of cookies by your web browser can be prevented. However, this may limit some functions of our website. You can also prevent Google from collecting data about your website usage, including your IP address, and subsequently processing this data. This is possible by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available via the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de.

You can prevent Google Analytics from collecting your data by clicking on the following link. An opt-out cookie will be set which prevents the collection of your data on future visits to our website: Deactivate Google Analytics.

Our website uses the “demographics” function of Google Analytics. It can be used to create reports that contain information about the age, gender and interests of site visitors. This data comes from interest-based advertising from Google as well as from visitor data from third parties. It is not possible to assign the data to a specific person. You can deactivate this function at any time. This is possible via the ad settings in your Google account or by generally prohibiting the collection of your data by Google Analytics, as explained in the section “Objection to data collection”.

In order to fully comply with the statutory data protection requirements, we have concluded a contract for order processing with Google.

Google Ads and Google Conversion Tracking

Our website uses Google Ads. The provider is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.

Google Ads is an online advertising program. As part of the online advertising program, we work with conversion tracking. After clicking on an ad placed by Google, a cookie is set for conversion tracking. Cookies are small text files that your web browser stores on your device. Google Ads cookies expire after 30 days and are not used to personally identify users. The cookie allows Google and us to recognize that you have clicked on an ad and been redirected to our website.

Each Google Ads customer receives a different cookie. The cookies cannot be tracked across AdWords customers’ websites. Conversion cookies are used to create conversion statistics for AdWords customers who use conversion tracking. Adwords customers find out how many users clicked on their ad and were redirected to pages with a conversion tracking tag. However, AdWords customers do not receive any information that enables personal identification of users. If you do not wish to participate in tracking, you can object to its use. The conversion cookie must be deactivated in the user settings of the browser. This means that it is not included in the conversion tracking statistics.

Conversion cookies are stored on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f EU GDPR. As a website operator, we have a legitimate interest in analyzing user behavior in order to optimize our website and our advertising. If a corresponding consent has been requested (e.g. consent to the storage of cookies), the processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a EU GDPR. Your consent can be revoked at any time.

For details about Google Ads and Google Conversion Tracking, please see Google’s privacy policy: https://www.google.de/policies/privacy/.

With a modern web browser you can monitor, restrict or prevent the setting of cookies. Deactivating cookies may result in limited functionality of our website.

Microsoft Advertising and Microsoft Conversion Tracking

Our website uses Microsoft Advertising from Microsoft Corporate, One Microsoft Way, Redmond, WA 98052-6399, USA.

Microsoft Advertising, formerly Bing Ads, is a service that provides pay-per-click advertising on the search engines Bing, Yahoo! and DuckDuckGo. We have integrated a conversion tracking tag from Microsoft Advertising into our website. After you have come to our website via a Microsoft ad, a cookie for conversion tracking is set. Cookies are small text files that your web browser stores on your device. Using this tracking tool, we can learn more about your user behavior on our website, such as: which keyword or ad you used to find us, what you click on our website, how many people visit our website via Microsoft Advertising and how long you stay on our website. This data helps us tailor our website, advertisements and offers much better to the needs of our customers. However, all data we receive relates to your user behavior and not to data that can be used to identify you (i.e. no personal data). Microsoft also uses the data to optimize its own advertising and other services. We have no influence on how Microsoft further uses the data collected. This also applies to the duration of data storage. Microsoft stores personal data for as long as it is necessary to provide its services or products or for legal purposes.

As a website operator, we have a legitimate interest in optimizing our online service and our marketing measures. The corresponding legal basis for this is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f EU GDPR (legitimate interests). If a corresponding consent has been requested (e.g. consent to the storage of cookies), the processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a EU GDPR. Your consent can be revoked at any time.

Microsoft operates its own servers worldwide. Your data will therefore also be managed and stored in the USA. Microsoft is an active participant in the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, which regulates the correct and secure transfer of personal data of EU citizens to the USA. For more information, see https://commission.europa.eu/document/fa09cbad-dd7d-4684-ae60-be03fcb0fddf_en. In addition, Microsoft uses so-called standard contractual clauses (Article 46 (2) and (3) EU GDPR). Standard contractual clauses are templates provided by the EU Commission which ensure that the processing of your personal data when transferred to a third country (such as the USA) is subject to a level of security equivalent to that of the EU GDPR. You can find the relevant standard contractual clauses here: https://eur-lex.europa.eu/eli/dec_impl/2021/914/oj?locale=en. Through the EU-US Data Privacy Framework and the standard contractual clauses, Microsoft undertakes to comply with the European level of data protection when processing your relevant data, even if the data is stored, processed and managed in the USA.

Microsoft also relies on so-called standard contractual clauses (Article 46 (2) and (3) EU GDPR) as the basis for data processing or data transfer to third countries (countries outside the EU, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, i.e. in particular the USA). These are model templates provided by a decision of the EU Commission, which are intended to ensure that your data is subject to an appropriate level of protection even if it is transferred to or stored in third countries. This means that Microsoft is committed to complying with European data protection standards when processing personal data, even if the data is stored, processed and managed in the USA.

For details about Microsoft Advertising and Microsoft Conversion Tracking, please see Microsoft’s privacy policy at https://privacy.microsoft.com/de-de/privacystatement?tid=331674320569. For more information about Microsoft’s standard contractual clauses, see https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/compliance/regulatory/offering-eu-model-clauses.

If you do not wish to participate in Microsoft Advertising tracking, you can object to its use. If you do not want to see interest-based advertisements from Microsoft Advertising, you can deactivate the function via https://account.microsoft.com/privacy/ad-settings/signedout . You can also deactivate, manage or delete all cookies in your browser.

In order to fully comply with the statutory data protection requirements, we have concluded a contract for order processing with Microsoft.

Meta

meta pixel

Our website uses the meta pixel for conversion tracking purposes. The provider of this service is Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Dublin 2, Ireland.

We want to show our services or products only to those who are really interested in them. The purpose of data processing is therefore to investigate usage behavior and to analyze the impact of online marketing measures and selection of online advertising on other platforms, which are automatically selected based on usage behavior using real-time bidding. With the help of the meta pixel, our advertising measures can be better tailored to your wishes and interests. This means that meta users (if they have allowed personalized advertising) see suitable advertising. The data categories processed include data on the use of the website and the logging of clicks on individual elements.

The data collected is anonymous and not visible to us as the operator of this website and is only used for the purpose of placing advertisements. We cannot draw any conclusions about the identity of the users. However, the data is stored and processed by Facebook so that a connection to the respective user profile is possible and Facebook can use the data for its own analysis purposes and advertisements in accordance with the Facebook data usage policy. We as website operators cannot influence this use of data.

The use of the meta pixel is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f EU GDPR. As website operators, we have a legitimate interest in effective advertising measures, including social media. If a corresponding consent has been requested (e.g. consent to the storage of cookies), the processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a EU GDPR. Your consent can be revoked at any time.

Meta Lead Ads (Instant Form)

We use so-called meta lead ads for conversion tracking purposes. The provider of this service is Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Dublin 2, Ireland.

We use meta lead ads for lead generation and qualification. Instant forms allow us to collect information from people who are interested in our company or services. We receive this information via a contact form displayed on Facebook/Meta websites (so-called instant forms). The content and scope of the data requested in this form depends on the purposes of the respective lead campaign. The processing of the data is strictly tied to the purposes pursued with the respective lead ad campaign. These purposes are clearly stated in the lead ad or on the form provided before the specified data is transmitted. We will not pass on the data contained therein.

The use of the Meta Instant form is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f EU GDPR. As website operators, we have a legitimate interest in effective advertising measures, including social media. If a corresponding consent has been requested (e.g. consent to the storage of cookies, direct marketing measures such as registration for e-mail newsletters), processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a EU GDPR. Your consent can be revoked at any time.

Insight Tag

Our website uses the conversion tracking tool LinkedIn Insight Tags. The provider is the American company LinkedIn Corporation, 2029 Stierlin Court, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. The company LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited (Wilton Place, Dublin 2, Ireland) is responsible for data protection-related aspects in the European Economic Area (EEA), the EU and Switzerland.

Using the LinkedIn Insight Tag, we can optimize campaigns, re-engage website visitors, and learn more about our audience. If a website visitor is registered with LinkedIn, we can, among other things, his professional key data (e.g. career level, company size, country, location, industry and job title) and thus better tailor our website to the respective target groups. Furthermore, we can use LinkedIn Insight Tags to measure whether visitors to our website perform a specific action there (conversion measurement). Conversion measurement can also be carried out 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 of the website, although, according to LinkedIn, the advertising recipient is not identified. LinkedIn itself also records so-called log files (URL, referrer URL, IP address, device and browser properties and time of access). The IP addresses are shortened or pseudonymized. We as website operators cannot assign the data collected by LinkedIn to specific individuals. LinkedIn will store the personal data collected from website visitors on its servers in the USA and use it for its own advertising purposes. LinkedIn anonymizes the data within 7 days. It deletes the data again within 90 days.

The use of LinkedIn Insight is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f EU GDPR. As a website operator, we have a legitimate interest in effective advertising measures, including social media. If a corresponding consent has been requested (e.g. consent to the storage of cookies), the processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a EU GDPR. Your consent can be revoked at any time.

According to LinkedIn, the data collected may also be transferred to the USA and other third countries. LinkedIn is a subsidiary of Microsoft LLC. Microsoft is an active participant in the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, which regulates the correct and secure transfer of personal data of EU citizens to the USA. For more information, see https://commission.europa.eu/document/fa09cbad-dd7d-4684-ae60-be03fcb0fddf_en. In addition, LinkedIn uses so-called standard contractual clauses (Article 46 (2) and (3) EU GDPR). Standard contractual clauses are templates provided by the EU Commission which ensure that the processing of your personal data when transferred to a third country (such as the USA) is subject to a level of security equivalent to that of the EU GDPR. You can find the relevant standard contractual clauses here: https://eur-lex.europa.eu/eli/dec_impl/2021/914/oj?locale=en. Further details can be found here: https://www.linkedin.com/legal/l/dpa and https://www.linkedin.com/legal/l/eu-sccs. Through the EU-US Data Privacy Framework and the standard contractual clauses, LinkedIn undertakes to comply with the European level of data protection when processing your relevant data, even if the data is stored, processed and managed in the USA.

For more information about LinkedIn Insight Tag, please visit https://www.linkedin.com/help/linkedin/answer/a427660. You can find out more about the data processed and stored by LinkedIn Insight Tag in LinkedIn's privacy policy at https://de.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy.

Lead Gen Forms

We use lead generation tools to acquire new customers. A lead is an interested party who provides his or her contact information to a company whose services or products he or she is interested in for the purpose of establishing contact. For this purpose, we use Lead Gen Forms, LinkedIn’s lead generation service. Lead Gen Forms are advertisements on LinkedIn that allow the integration of contact forms into sponsored content.

If you contact us via LinkedIn forms for lead generation, personal data (e.g. Name and email address, job title) are stored by LinkedIn and transmitted to us. We use the data to contact you, to provide you with targeted information about services and products and for marketing purposes. The use of lead generation tools serves our public relations work and communication with interested parties.

The legal basis for the evaluation of the LinkedIn lead forms is your voluntary consent given when sending the forms (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a EU GDPR). You can revoke your consent at any time in the future using the contact details provided on our website.

For more information about how LinkedIn uses your data, please see LinkedIn's privacy policy at: https://www.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy or https://business.linkedin.com/de-de/marketing-solutions/native-advertising/lead-gen-ads.

We store the data you send us via Lead Gen Forms for 2 years from receipt of the completed form. Your data will then be deleted unless there are statutory retention periods to the contrary. On LinkedIn, lead data is automatically deleted after 90 days.

You have the option of preventing this in the future by setting an opt-out cookie: https://www.linkedin.com/psettings/guest-controls/retargeting-opt-out.

Duration of storage of personal data

The duration of storage of personal data is determined by the relevant statutory retention periods, e.g. from commercial law and tax law. After expiry of the respective period, the corresponding data will be routinely deleted. If data is required to fulfil or initiate a contract or if we have a legitimate interest in continuing to store it, the data will be deleted if it is no longer required for these purposes or if you have exercised your right of revocation or objection.

your rights

Below you will find a list of the rights of the data subjects that the data subject has vis-à-vis the controller with regard to the processing of their personal data:

(1) The right to request information about your personal data processed by us in accordance with Art. 15 EU GDPR. In particular, you can request information about the purposes of processing, the category of personal data, the categories of recipients to whom your data has been or will be disclosed, the planned storage period, the existence of a right to rectification, erasure, restriction of processing or objection, the existence of a right to lodge a complaint, the origin of your data if it was not collected from us, as well as the existence of automated decision-making including profiling and, if applicable, meaningful information on its details.

(2) The right to request the immediate rectification of inaccurate or incomplete personal data stored by us in accordance with Art. 16 EU GDPR.

(3) The right to request the erasure of your personal data stored by us in accordance with Art. 17 EU GDPR, unless the processing is necessary to exercise the right to freedom of expression and information, to fulfil a legal obligation, for reasons of public interest or to assert, exercise or defend legal claims.

(4) The right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data in accordance with Art. 18 EU GDPR if you contest the accuracy of the data, the processing is unlawful but you refuse to delete it and we no longer need the data, but you require it to assert, exercise or defend legal claims or you have objected to the processing in accordance with Art. 21 EU GDPR.

(5) The right to receive your personal data that you have provided to us in a structured, common and machine-readable format or to request that it be transmitted to another controller in accordance with Art. 20 EU GDPR.
