Processing operations relevant under data protection law

 

Collection and use of your data by visiting our website

 

Description of the type and scope of data processing

 

For the purely informational use of our website, it is generally not necessary for you to provide personal data. Rather, in this case we only collect and use the data that your internet browser automatically transmits and collects, such as

 

+ Information about the type of browser and the version used+ The user's operating system

 

+ The user's Internet service provider

 

+ The IP address of the user

 

+ Date and time of access

 

+ websites from which the user's system accesses our website

 

+ websites that are called up by the user's system via our website

The data is also stored in the log files of our system for 30 days. Not affected by this are the IP addresses of the user or other data that allow the data to be assigned to a user. An assignment is excluded by encryption. This data is not stored together with other personal data of the user.

 

Purpose of data processing

 

The temporary acquisition of the IP address by the system is necessary to enable the website to be delivered to the user's computer. For this purpose, the user's IP address must remain stored for the duration of the session. These purposes also include our legitimate interest in data processing in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DS-GVO.

Legal basis

 

The temporary storage of the automatically generated and technically necessary log files is lawful according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DS-GVO

 

Duration of data processing

 

The data will be deleted as soon as they are no longer necessary for the purpose for which they were collected, at the latest after 30 days. In the case of the collection of data for the purpose of providing the website, this is when the relevant session ends.

 

Possibility of opposition and removal

 

The collection of data for the provision of the website and the storage in log files is mandatory for the operation of the website. There is no possibility of objection in this respect.

E-mail communication and contact form

 

 Description of the type and scope of data processing

 

In the case of e-mail communication via the e-mail address displayed on our website or in the case of an inquiry via our contact form, we collect, process and store personal data such as surname, first name, title, address, e-mail and IP address of the user as well as date and time of registration in order to provide the respective services, to contact you and to process your inquiry as well as in the event that follow-up questions arise.

 

For the processing of data via contact form, your consent will be obtained during the sending process and reference will be made to this data protection declaration. Alternatively, it is possible to contact us via the provided e-mail address. In this case, the user's personal data transmitted with the e-mail will be stored.

 

In this context, it does not pursue the transfer of data to third parties. The data will be used exclusively for processing the conversation.

Purpose of data processing

 

The processing of the personal data from the input mask serves us only to process the contact. In the case of contacting us by e-mail, this is also the necessary legitimate interest in the processing of the data.

 

The other personal data processed during the sending process serves to prevent misuse of the contact form and to ensure the security of our information technology systems. Herein lies our legitimate interest in data processing.

 

Legal basis for data processing

 

The legal basis for the processing of data sent in the course of an e-mail is Art. 6 para. 1 letter f DS-GVO. If the e-mail contact is aimed at the conclusion of a contract, the additional legal basis for processing is Art. 6 Para. 1 letter b DS-GVO.

Duration of storage

 

The data will be deleted as soon as they are no longer necessary for the purpose of their collection. For the personal data from the input mask of the contact form and those sent by e-mail, this is the case when the respective conversation with the user has ended. The conversation is terminated when it can be concluded from the circumstances that the matter in question has been finally clarified. Any additional personal data collected during the sending process will be deleted after a period of seven days at the latest.

 

 

Possibility of objection and removal

 

If the user contacts us by e-mail, he can object to the storage of his personal data at any time. In such a case the conversation cannot be continued. All personal data stored in the course of the contact will be deleted in this case.

 

Security advice

 

In the event of contacting us by e-mail or contact form, we would like to point out that data transmission on the Internet has security gaps when communicating by e-mail and cannot be completely protected against access by third parties. Personal data in the context of e-mail communication is usually transferred from your computer via an unsecured connection over the Internet. Information that you send unencrypted by e-mail can be read, stored and misused by third parties on the way. We therefore advise you not to send any confidential information to us without using an encryption program.

Newsletter

 

Description of the type and scope of data processing

 

On our website there is the possibility to subscribe to a free newsletter. When registering for the newsletter, the data from the input mask will be transmitted to us. This is your e-mail address and optional if you would also like to participate in our free mailing campaigns:

 

+ first name, last name

 

+ Email address

 

 

 

For the processing of the data, your consent will be obtained during the registration process and reference will be made to this privacy policy. In connection with the data processing for the dispatch of newsletters, the data will not be passed on to third parties. The data will be used exclusively for sending the newsletter.

 

 

 

Legal basis for data processing

 

The legal basis for the processing of data after registration for the newsletter by the user is Art. 6 para. 1 letter a DSGVO, if the user has given his consent.

Purpose of data processing

 

The collection of the user's e-mail address is used to send the newsletter. The newsletter is sent out based on the user's registration on the website.

The collection of other personal data during the registration process serves to prevent misuse of the services or the e-mail address used.

 

Duration of storage

 

The data will be deleted as soon as they are no longer necessary for the purpose of their collection. The user's e-mail address is therefore stored for as long as the subscription to the newsletter is active. The other personal data collected during the registration process is usually deleted after a period of seven days.

 

Possibility of objection and removal

 

The subscription to the newsletter can be cancelled by the user concerned at any time. For this purpose there is a corresponding link in every newsletter. The newsletter is sent out based on the user's registration on the website. This also enables the user to revoke his or her consent to the storage of personal data collected during the registration process.

We would like to point out that we evaluate your user behaviour when sending the newsletter. For this evaluation, the e-mails sent contain so-called web beacons or tracking pixels, which are one-pixel image files stored on our website. The data is collected pseudonymously, so the IDs are not linked to your other personal data, a direct personal reference is excluded.

 

You can object to this tracking at any time by clicking on the separate link provided in each e-mail or by informing us via another contact channel. The information is stored as long as you have subscribed to the newsletter. After you unsubscribe, we store the data purely statistically and anonymously.

Use of Google Analytics

 

Type and scope of data processing

 

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service of Google Inc. ("Google"). Google Analytics uses "cookies", which are text files placed on your computer, to help the website analyze how users use the site. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. However, in the event that IP anonymization is activated on this website, your IP address will be shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or in other signatory states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area before this happens. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transferred to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of the website, compiling reports on website activity and providing other services relating to website activity and internet usage.

 

The IP address transmitted by your browser within the scope of Google Analytics is not combined with other data from Google.

 

This website uses Google Analytics with the extension "_anonymizeIp()". This means that IP addresses are further processed in a shortened form, so that a personal reference can be excluded. If the data collected about you contains a personal reference, this is immediately excluded and the personal data is immediately deleted.

 

PurposeWe use Google Analytics to analyze and regularly improve the use of our website. We can use the statistics obtained to improve our offer and make it more interesting for you as a user. Herein lies our legitimate interest. For the exceptional cases in which personal data is transferred to the USA, Google has subjected itself to the EU-US Privacy Shield, https://www.privacyshield.gov/EU-US-Framework.

Social Plugins and Tools

 

Type and scope of data collection

 

We currently use the following social media plug-ins or social media tools: Facebook, Twitter, Xing, LinkedIn, Instagram and YouTube. We use the so-called two-click solution. This means that when you visit our site, no personal data is initially passed on to the providers. You can recognize the provider of the plug-in by the initial letter or logo on the box. We give you the opportunity to communicate directly with the provider of the plug-in via the button. Only if you click on the marked box and thereby activate it, the plug-in provider will receive the information that you have called up the corresponding website of our online offer. In addition, the following data will be transmitted:

 

+ IP address

 

+Date and time of the request

 

+ Time zone difference to Greenwich Mean Time (GMT)

 

+ Content of the request (concrete page)

 

+ Access status/HTTP status code

 

+ amount of data transferred in each case

 

+ Website from which the request comes

 

+ Browser

 

+ Operating system and its interface

 

+ Language and version of the browser software

In the case of Facebook and Xing, according to the respective providers in Germany, the IP address is anonymized immediately after it is collected. By activating the plug-in, your personal data is transmitted to the respective plug-in provider and stored there (in the case of US providers in the USA). Since the plug-in provider collects data in particular via cookies, we recommend that you delete all cookies via your browser's security settings before clicking on the grayed-out box.

 

We have no influence on the collected data and data processing procedures, nor are we aware of the full scope of data collection, the purposes of processing, the storage periods. We also have no information about the deletion of the collected data by the plug-in provider.

 

 

 

Purpose of data collection

 

The plug-in provider stores the data collected about you as user profiles and uses them for the purposes of advertising, market research and/or demand-oriented design of its website. Such an evaluation is carried out in particular (also for users who are not logged in) for the purpose of presenting need-based advertising and to inform other users of the social network about your activities on our website. Via the plug-ins we offer you the possibility to interact with the social networks and other users, so that we can improve our offer and make it more interesting for you as a user.

The data is passed on regardless of whether you have an account with the plug-in provider and are logged in there. If you are logged in with the plug-in provider, the data we collect from you will be directly assigned to your existing account with the plug-in provider. If you click on the activated button and, for example, link the page, the plug-in provider will also save this information in your user account and publicly share it with your contacts. We recommend that you log out regularly after using a social network, but especially before activating the button, as you can then avoid being assigned to your profile with the plug-in provider.

 

Further information on the purpose and scope of data collection and processing by the plug-in provider can be found in the data protection declarations of these providers, which are provided below. There you will also find further information on your rights and settings options for protecting your privacy.

Possibility of objection and removal

 

You have a right of objection to the creation of these user profiles, whereby you must contact the respective plug-in provider to exercise this right.

 

We recommend that you log out regularly after using a social network, but especially before activating the button, as this will enable you to avoid assignment to your profile with the plug-in provider.

 

Transfer of data to third parties

 

In some cases we use external service providers to process your data. These have been carefully selected and commissioned by us, are bound by our instructions and are checked regularly. These may be technical service providers, service providers who support us in shipping or third companies for data processing (so-called commissioned data processing, commissioned data processors). If we make use of commissioned data processors, they are contractually obliged to handle your personal data with care, in compliance with data protection regulations and in accordance with our instructions, and neither to use it for their own purposes nor to pass it on to third parties.

 

Your data will otherwise only be passed on to other third parties by us if we are legally obliged to do so. Due to legal requirements, we are obliged in certain cases to pass on your personal data to third parties. This is the case, for example, if there is a suspicion of a criminal offence or misuse of this website. We are then obliged to pass on your personal data to the responsible law enforcement authorities. By order of the competent authorities, we may therefore provide information about this data in individual cases, insofar as this is necessary for the purposes of criminal prosecution, for averting danger, for fulfilling the legal tasks of the constitution protection authorities or the Military Counter-Intelligence Service or for enforcing intellectual property rights.

 

 

Duration of storage

 

Your personal data will only be stored as long as it is necessary for the required purpose. Personal data will be deleted as soon as they are no longer required for the purpose of storage.

If the personal data concerning you are 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, including profiling, insofar as it is related to such direct marketing.

 

If you object to processing for the purposes of direct marketing, the personal data concerning you will no longer be processed for those purposes.

Automated decision in individual cases including profiling

 

You have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing - including profiling - which has legal effect on you or which significantly affects you in a similar way. This shall not apply if the decision

 

+ is necessary for the conclusion or fulfillment of a contract between you and the person responsible,

 

+ is authorised by Union law or the law of the Member States to which the person responsible is subject and that law provides for appropriate measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms and your legitimate interests, or

 

+ with your express consent.

 

However, these decisions may not be based on special categories of personal data in accordance with Art. 9 para. 1 DS-GVO, unless Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a or g applies and appropriate measures have been taken to protect rights and freedoms and your legitimate interests.

 

With regard to the first and third exceptions, the data controller shall take reasonable measures to safeguard the rights and freedoms and your legitimate interests, which shall include at least the right to obtain the intervention of a person from the data controller, to express his point of view and to challenge the decision.

 

Right to appeal to a supervisory authority

 

Without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State in which you are resident, your place of work or the place of the alleged infringement, if you consider that the processing of personal data concerning you is in breach of the DS Block Exemption Regulation.

 

The supervisory authority to which the complaint has been submitted will inform the complainant of the status and the results of the complaint, including the possibility of a judicial remedy under Article 78 of the DS-GVO.

Data protection for hyperlinks to external websites

 

If you find hyperlinks on our website that lead you directly to the websites of other providers (e.g. recognizable by the change of URL), we do not take responsibility for the confidential handling of your data. This is because we have no influence on whether these companies comply with data protection regulations. Please refer to the websites of these companies directly for information on how they handle your personal data.

 

Data Security

 

We use technical and organizational security measures in order to protect any personal data that we receive or collect from you, especially against accidental or intentional manipulation, loss, destruction or against attack by unauthorized persons.
