+ 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.
