Data processing as a result of visiting the website

When you visit 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, telephone number),
content data (such as text inputs),
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 attempts to attack our web server, we may store this data for a short time. It is not possible to draw conclusions about individual persons from 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. There is no analysis of this data except for statistical purposes in anonymous form. This data is not combined 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 site operator, our website uses SSL or TLS encryption. This means that data that you submit via this website cannot be read by third parties. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the “https://” address line of your browser and by the lock icon in the browser line.

Server log files

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

page visited on our domain,
date and time of the server request,
browser type and browser version,
operating system used,
referrer URL,
host name of the accessing computer,
IP address.

There is no merging of this data 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 pre-contractual measures.

Translation service

This website uses the Weglot translation service, 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 that you can change the language to something 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. This gives Weglot the information that you have visited this website with your IP address.

The data is stored and analyzed on the basis of 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 to non-German-speaking visitors. If a corresponding consent has been requested (e.g. consent to the storage of cookies), processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Article 6 (1) (a) of the EU GDPR. Your consent can be withdrawn at any time. For more information, please see Weglot's privacy policy: https://weglot.com/privacy/.

Contacting

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

The legal basis for processing the data is our legitimate interest in responding to your request in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f EU GDPR and, where applicable, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b EU GDPR, if your request is aimed at concluding a contract. Your data will be deleted provided that your request has been finally answered and the deletion does not conflict with any legal storage obligations, such as in the event of any subsequent contract processing. In the case of Article 6 (1) (f) of the EU GDPR, you can object to the processing of your personal data at any time with effect for the future.

We use HubSpot on our website for marketing and support activities. When using the contact form, the data you submit is collected by the external provider HubSpot and is subject to their privacy policy. HubSpot is a software company from the USA with a branch in Germany. Contact: HubSpot Germany GmbH, Am Postbahnhof 17, 10243 Berlin, phone: 030 56796549. Hubspot is an integrated software solution that covers various aspects of our online marketing. These include: email marketing, social media publishing & reporting, reporting, contact management (e.g. user segmentation & CRM), landing pages and contact forms.

As part of processing via HubSpot, data may be transmitted to the USA. HubSpot is an active participant in the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, which regulates the correct and secure transfer of personal data from EU citizens to the USA. You can find more information about this at https://commission.europa.eu/document/fa09cbad-dd7d-4684-ae60-be03fcb0fddf_en. HubSpot also uses so-called standard contractual clauses (Art. 46 (2) and (3) EU GDPR). Standard contractual clauses are sample 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 that corresponds to that of the EU GDPR. You can find the corresponding standard contractual clauses here: https://eur-lex.europa.eu/eli/dec_impl/2021/914/oj?locale=de. Through the EU-US Data Privacy Framework and the Standard Contractual Clauses, HubSpot is committed to complying with the European level of data protection when processing your relevant data, even if the data is stored, processed and managed in the USA.

Applications

An application form is available on our website, which can be used for electronic applications. For this purpose, we use the JOIN Applicant Management Tool from JOIN Solutions GmbH, Schönhauser Allee 36, 10435 Berlin.

If an applicant makes use of this option, the data entered in the input mask will be sent to us and stored. The data will only be used to process your application in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b EU GDPR. This data is:

email address
First name
name
cv
Optional: cover letter

The other personal data processed during the sending process is used to prevent misuse of the application form and to ensure the security of our information technology systems.

After completion of the application process, the data will be stored for up to four months. Your data will be deleted after four months at the latest. In the event of a legal obligation, the data will be stored within the framework of the applicable regulations. Information about data processing by JOIN can be found here: https://join.com/de/datenschutz/.

Alternatively, you can send us your application via email. In this case, we collect your email address and the data you provide in the email.

Newsletter data

If you would like to receive the newsletter offered on the website with regular information about our offers and products, we need your e-mail address as a mandatory information. We use the so-called double opt-in procedure to send the newsletter. This means that we will only send you our newsletter by email once you have expressly confirmed to us that you agree to receive our newsletter. In return, you will receive an e-mail with a link which you can use to confirm that you, as the owner of the corresponding e-mail address, would like to receive newsletters in the future. By confirming, you give us your consent in accordance with Article 6 (1) (a) of the EU GDPR that we may use your personal data for the purpose of sending you the desired newsletter.

When you register for the newsletter, we save, in addition to the e-mail address required for sending, the IP address through which you signed up for the newsletter, as well as the date and time of your subscription and confirmation for the newsletter. In this way, we can identify potential misuse at a later stage.

You can unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time via the link included in each newsletter or by e-mail. The legality of the data processing operations that have already taken place remains unaffected by the revocation. After unsubscribing, your email address will be immediately deleted from our newsletter mailing list, unless you have expressly consented to continued use of the collected data or continued processing is otherwise permitted by law.

Online presences in social networks

Youtube

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

Here, we use the “extended data protection mode” option provided by YouTube. When you visit a page that has an embedded YouTube video, a connection to the YouTube servers is established. This tells the YouTube server 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 — is only transmitted to the YouTube server in the USA if you actively click on the video. YouTube can associate your surfing behavior directly with your personal profile if you are logged into your YouTube account. By logging out beforehand, you have the option to prevent this.

YouTube is used in the interest of presenting our online offerings in an appealing way. This represents a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f EU GDPR.

According to YouTube, the collected data can also be transferred to the USA and other third countries. YouTube is a wholly owned subsidiary of Google LLC. Google is an active participant in the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, which regulates the correct and secure transfer of personal data from EU citizens to the USA. You can find more information about this at https://commission.europa.eu/document/fa09cbad-dd7d-4684-ae60-be03fcb0fddf_en. YouTube also uses so-called standard contractual clauses (Art. 46 (2) and (3) EU GDPR). Standard contractual clauses are sample 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 that corresponds to that of the EU GDPR. You can find the corresponding standard contractual clauses here: https://eur-lex.europa.eu/eli/dec_impl/2021/914/oj?locale=de. 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 to handle user data can be found in YouTube's privacy policy at: https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy.

Cookies

Our website uses so-called “cookies.” Cookies are small text files that help us make our website more user-friendly, effective and secure. Cookies are stored on your device either temporarily for the duration of a session (session cookies) or permanently (permanent cookies). Here is our cookie policy.

Some cookies are session cookies. Such cookies are automatically deleted at the end of your browser session. On the other hand, permanent cookies remain on your device until you delete them yourself or they are automatically deleted by your web browser. Such cookies help us recognize you when you return to our website.

Cookies, which are necessary to carry out electronic communication processes or to provide certain functions you have requested (e.g. shopping cart), are set on the basis of Article 6 (1) (f) EU GDPR. As the operator of this website, we have a legitimate interest in storing cookies for the technically error-free and smooth provision of our services. If other cookies (e.g. for analysis functions) are set, these are dealt with separately in this privacy policy. If appropriate consent has been requested, cookies are set exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a EU GDPR. Your consent can be withdrawn at any time.

With a modern web browser, you can monitor, restrict or prevent the setting of cookies. Many web browsers can be configured so that cookies are automatically deleted when you close the program. Deactivating cookies may result in limited functionality of our website.

Cookie settings can be managed for the respective browsers under the following links:

Google Analytics

Our website uses features of the web analysis service Google Analytics. The provider of the web analysis service is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.

Google Analytics uses “cookies.” These are small text files that your web browser stores on your device and enable an analysis of website usage. Information generated by cookies about your use of our website is transmitted to a Google server and stored there. The server location is usually the USA.

Google Analytics cookies are set 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 advertising. If a corresponding consent has been requested (e.g. consent to the storage of cookies), processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Article 6 (1) (a) EU GDPR. Your consent can be withdrawn at any time.

According to Google, the collected data can also be transferred to the USA and other third countries. Google is an active participant in the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, which regulates the correct and secure transfer of personal data from EU citizens to the USA. You can find more information about this at https://commission.europa.eu/document/fa09cbad-dd7d-4684-ae60-be03fcb0fddf_en. Google also uses so-called standard contractual clauses (Art. 46 (2) and (3) EU GDPR). Standard contractual clauses are sample 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 that corresponds to that of the EU GDPR. You can find the corresponding standard contractual clauses here: https://eur-lex.europa.eu/eli/dec_impl/2021/914/oj?locale=de. Through the EU-US Data Privacy Framework and the Standard Contractual Clauses, Google 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. It ensures that Google abbreviates your IP address within member states of the European Union or in other states party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area before transmission to the USA. There may be exceptional cases in which Google transmits the full IP address to a server in the USA and abbreviates it there. On our behalf, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to create reports on website activity and to provide us with other services related to website activity and Internet usage. There is no merging of the IP address transmitted by Google Analytics with other data from Google.

You can prevent cookies from being set by your web browser. However, this could restrict some functions of our website. You can also prevent Google from collecting data relating to your use of the website, including your IP address and subsequent processing. 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 is set to prevent your data from being collected when you visit our website in the future: Deactivate Google Analytics.

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

In order to fully comply with legal data protection requirements, we have concluded an order processing contract 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 lose their validity after 30 days and are not used to personally identify users. The cookie allows Google and we to recognize that you clicked on an ad and were redirected to our website.

Each Google Ads customer receives a different cookie. The cookies cannot be traced via websites of AdWords customers. 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 allows users to be personally identified. If you do not want to participate in tracking, you can object to its use. Here, the conversion cookie must be deactivated in the browser's user settings. This also means that there is no inclusion 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 advertising. If a corresponding consent has been requested (e.g. consent to the storage of cookies), processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Article 6 (1) (a) EU GDPR. Your consent can be withdrawn at any time.

For details about Google Ads and Google conversion tracking, 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.

In order to fully comply with legal data protection requirements, we have concluded an order processing contract with Google.

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 offers pay-per-click advertising in the search engines Bing, Yahoo! and DuckDuckGo provides. 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 is set for conversion tracking. Cookies are small text files that your web browser stores on your device. With the help of this tracking tool, we can learn more about your user behavior on our website, such as which keyword or ad brought you to us, what you click on on our website, how many people visit our website via Microsoft Advertising and how long you stay on our website. With the help of this data, we can significantly better adapt our website, advertisements and offers to the needs of our customers. However, all data that we receive relates to your user behavior and not to data that identifies you (i.e. no personal data). Microsoft also uses the data to optimize its own advertising offerings and other services. We have no influence on the further use of the data collected by Microsoft. This also applies for the duration of data storage. Microsoft stores personal data for as long as is necessary to provide its own services or products or for legal purposes.

As a website operator, we have a legitimate interest in optimizing our online service and 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), processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Article 6 (1) (a) EU GDPR. Your consent can be withdrawn at any time.

Microsoft operates its own servers all over the world. Your data is therefore also managed and stored in the USA, among others. Microsoft is an active participant in the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, which regulates the correct and secure transfer of personal data from EU citizens to the USA. You can find more information about this at https://commission.europa.eu/document/fa09cbad-dd7d-4684-ae60-be03fcb0fddf_en. Microsoft also uses so-called standard contractual clauses (Art. 46 (2) and (3) EU GDPR). Standard contractual clauses are sample 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 that corresponds to that of the EU GDPR. You can find the corresponding standard contractual clauses here: https://eur-lex.europa.eu/eli/dec_impl/2021/914/oj?locale=de. 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 (Art. 46 paragraphs 2 and 3 EU GDPR) as the basis for data processing or transfer of data to third countries (countries outside the EU, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, i.e. in particular the USA). These are sample templates provided by a decision of the EU Commission, which are intended to ensure that your data is provided with an appropriate level of protection even if it is transferred to or stored in third countries. In doing so, Microsoft undertakes to comply 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. More information about Microsoft's standard contractual clauses can be found at https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/compliance/regulatory/offering-eu-model-clauses.

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

In order to fully comply with legal data protection requirements, we have concluded an order processing contract 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 only want to show our services and products to those who are really interested in them. The purpose of data processing is therefore to study user behavior and analyze the effect of online marketing measures and selection of online advertising on other platforms, which are automatically selected based on user 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 allows meta users (if they have allowed personalized advertising) to see suitable advertising. Data categories processed here include data about 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 can only be used as part of advertising. We cannot draw any conclusions about the identity of 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. As the site operator, we cannot influence this use of data.

The meta-pixel is used on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f EU GDPR. As a site 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), processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Article 6 (1) (a) of the EU GDPR. Your consent can be withdrawn 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. Using instant forms, we can provide 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 linked to the purposes of the respective lead ad campaign. These purposes are clearly stated as part of the lead ad or on the form provided before the data provided is submitted. We will not pass on the data contained therein.

The Meta Instant form is used on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f EU GDPR. As a site 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, direct advertising measures such as registration for e-mail newsletters), processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Article 6 (1) (a) of the EU GDPR. Your consent can be withdrawn at any time.

‍

According to Meta, the collected data can also be transferred to the USA and other third countries. Meta Platforms is an active participant in the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, which regulates the correct and secure transfer of personal data from EU citizens to the USA.

Insight Tag

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

With the LinkedIn Insight Tag, we can optimize campaigns, retarget website visitors, and learn more about our target audience. If a website visitor is registered with LinkedIn, we can, among other things, analyse their key professional data (e.g. career level, company size, country, location, industry and job title) and thus better tailor our website to the respective target groups. We can also use LinkedIn Insight Tags to measure whether visitors to our website take 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 feature, which allows us to display targeted advertising to visitors to our website outside the website, although, according to LinkedIn, there is no identification of the advertising recipient. LinkedIn itself also collects so-called log files (URL, referrer URL, IP address, device and browser properties and time of access). The IP addresses are abbreviated or pseudonymized. As a website operator, we 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 as part of its own advertising measures. LinkedIn anonymizes the data within 7 days. It deletes the data again within 90 days.

LinkedIn Insight is used on the basis of 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), processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Article 6 (1) (a) of the EU GDPR. Your consent can be withdrawn at any time.

According to LinkedIn, the collected data can 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 from EU citizens to the USA. You can find more information about this at https://commission.europa.eu/document/fa09cbad-dd7d-4684-ae60-be03fcb0fddf_en.

Standard contractual clauses are sample 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 that corresponds to that of the EU GDPR. You can find the corresponding standard contractual clauses here: https://eur-lex.europa.eu/eli/dec_impl/2021/914/oj?locale=de.

Lead Gen Forms

We use lead generation tools as part of acquiring new customers. A lead is a prospective customer who provides a company whose services or products they are interested in with their contact details for the purpose of contacting them. We use Lead Gen Forms, LinkedIn's lead generation service, for this purpose. Lead Gen Forms are advertising placements on LinkedIn that allow contact forms to be integrated into sponsored content.

If you contact us via LinkedIn lead generation forms, personal data (e.g. name and email address, job title) is stored by LinkedIn and transmitted to us. We use the data to get in touch with 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 and communication with interested parties.

The legal basis for evaluating LinkedIn lead forms is your voluntary consent given by submitting the forms (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a EU GDPR). You can withdraw your consent at any time for the future using the contact details provided on our website.
