Cookies

The Service Provider’s website uses cookies. Cookies are text files stored on a computer system via a web browser.

Many websites and servers use cookies. Many cookies contain a so-called cookie ID. The cookie ID is a unique cookie identifier. It consists of a string of characters by which websites and servers can be assigned to a specific web browser in which the cookie is stored. This allows visited websites and servers to distinguish individual web browsers of the data subject from other web browsers that contain other cookies. A specific web browser can be recognized and identified using the unique cookie ID.

By using cookies, Service Provider is able to provide users of this website with more user-friendly services that would not be possible without the use of cookies.

By using cookies, the information and offers on our website can be optimized with the needs of the users in mind. Cookies allow us, as already mentioned, to recognize users of our website. The purpose of this recognition is to make it easier for users to use our website. A user of our website who uses cookies, for example, does not have to enter access data every time he accesses the website because these are downloaded by the website and the cookie is therefore stored on the user’s computer system. Another example is a virtual shopping cart cookie in an online shop. The online shop remembers the products that the customer has placed in the virtual shopping cart via the cookie.

The data subject can prevent the setting of cookies via our website at any time by means of a corresponding setting of the Internet browser used and can therefore permanently deny the setting of cookies. Furthermore, cookies that have already been set can be deleted at any time via the Internet browser or other software programs. This is possible in all popular Internet browsers. If the data subject deactivates the setting of cookies in the Internet browser used, not all functions of our website may be fully usable.

Collection of general data and information

The Service Provider collects a series of general data and information when data subjects or automated systems call up the website. This general data and information is stored in server log files. The data and information collected may be (1) about the type of Internet browser and versions used, (2) about the operating system used by the accessing system, (3) about the Internet page from which the accessing system accesses our website (so-called referrers), (4) about sub-Internet pages (5) about the date and time of access to the website, (6) about the Internet Protocol address (IP address), (7) about the Internet service provider of the accessing system, and (8) all other similar data and information that can be used in the event of an attack on our information systems.

When using this general data and information, Service Provider does not draw any conclusions about the data subject. Instead, this information is required to (1) properly deliver the content of our website, (2) optimize the content of our website as well as advertising, (3) ensure the long-term sustainability of our IT systems and website technology, and (4) provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for criminal prosecution in the event of a cyber-attack. Therefore, our company analyzes anonymously and statistically collects data with the aim of increasing the data protection and security of our company and ensuring an optimal level of protection for the personal data we process. The anonymous server log file data is stored separately from all personal data provided by the data subject.

Contact option via the website

The website of Service Provider contains information that enables quick electronic contact with our company, as well as direct communication with us, which also includes a general address of the so-called electronic mail (e-mail address). If the data subject contacts the controller by e-mail or via a contact form, the personal data entered by the data subject are automatically stored. Such personal data that are voluntarily transmitted by the data subject to the controller are stored for the purpose of processing or contacting the data subject. This personal data will not be transferred to third parties.

Commenting function on the website blog

Service Provider offers users the possibility of leaving individual comments on individual blog contributions, which are located on the website of the controller. A blog is an online, publicly accessible portal through which one or more people called bloggers or web bloggers can publish articles or write their thoughts in so-called blog posts. Blog posts can usually be commented on by third parties.

If the data subject leaves a comment on a blog published on this website, the data subject’s comments are also stored and published, as well as information about the date of the comment and the username (pseudonym) chosen by the data subject. In addition, the IP address assigned by the Internet Service Provider (ISP) is also recorded. This storage of the IP address takes place for security reasons, and in case the data subject infringes the rights of third parties or publishes illegal content through the comments. The storage of these personal data is in the interests of the controller, so that in the event of an infringement it can be exempted from liability. The collected personal data will not be passed on to third parties, unless such a transfer is required by law or serves to protect the controller.

Routine deletion and blocking of personal data

The controller shall process and store the personal data of the data subject only for the time necessary to achieve the purpose of the storage or for the time provided for by the European legislator or by laws or regulations of other legislation applicable to the controller.

If the purpose of the storage cannot be achieved or if the storage period prescribed by the European legislator or another competent legislator expires, personal data are routinely blocked or deleted in accordance with legal requirements.

If the data subject wishes to exercise this right to rectification, he or she may, at any time, contact any employee of the controller.

d) Right to erasure (“Right to be forgotten”)

Each data subject shall have the right granted by the European legislator to obtain from the controller the erasure of personal data concerning him or her without undue delay, and the controller shall erase the personal data without undue delay where one of the following grounds applies, provided that the processing is not necessary:

The personal data are no longer necessary for the purposes for which they were collected or processed.

An employee of Service Provider will confirm that the erasure request will be processed immediately.

If the controller has made the personal data public and is obliged to erase the personal data pursuant to Article 17(1), the controller, taking into account available technology and the cost of implementation, shall take reasonable steps, including technical measures, to inform other controllers processing the personal data that the data subject has requested that such controllers erase all links to, copies and replications of those personal data, as long as the processing is not required. The employees of Service Provider shall take the necessary measures in individual cases.

e) Right to restriction of processing

Each data subject shall have the right granted by the European legislator to obtain from the controller restriction of processing where one of the following conditions is met:

The accuracy of the personal data has been contested by the data subject within a period enabling the controller to verify the accuracy of the personal data.
The processing is unlawful and the data subject opposes the erasure of the personal data and requests the restriction of their use instead.
The controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of the processing, but the data subject requires them for the establishment, exercise or protection of legal claims.
The data subject has objected to the processing pursuant to Article 21(1) of the GDPR while the verification is ongoing as to whether the legitimate interests of the controller override the interests of the data subject.

If one of the aforementioned conditions is met, and a data subject wishes to request the restriction of the processing of personal data stored by the craft, he or she may, at any time, contact any employee of the controller. An employee of the Service Provider will undertake the restriction of the processing.

f) Right to data portability

Each data subject shall have the right granted by the European legislator to receive personal data concerning him or her, which he or she has provided to a controller, in a structured, commonly used and in machine-readable format. The data subject shall have the right to transmit those data to another controller without hindrance from the controller to whom the personal data have been provided, provided that the processing is based on consent pursuant to point (a) of Article 6(1) of the General Data Protection Regulation or point (a) of Article 9(2) of the GDPR or on a contract pursuant to point (b) of Article 6(1) of the GDPR, and the processing is carried out by automated means and is not necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller.

Furthermore, in exercising the right to data portability pursuant to Article 20(1) of the General Data Protection Regulation, the data subject shall have the right to obtain the direct transmission of personal data from one controller to another, where technically feasible and where this does not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others.

In order to exercise the right to data portability, the data subject may at any time contact any employee of Service Provider

g) Right to object

Each data subject shall have the right granted by the European legislator to object, for any reason, on grounds relating to his or her particular situation, to processing of personal data concerning him or her which is based on point (e) or (f) of Article 6(1) of the General Data Protection Regulation. This also applies to profiling based on these provisions.

Service Provider will no longer process the personal data in the event of the objection, unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override the interests, rights and freedoms of the data subject, or where the processing is necessary for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims.

If Service Provider processes personal data for direct marketing purposes, the data subject shall have the right to object at any time to processing of personal data concerning him or her for such marketing. This applies to profiling to the extent that it is related to such direct marketing. If the data subject objects to Service Provider to processing for direct marketing purposes, Service Provider will no longer process the personal data for these purposes.

In addition, the data subject has the right, on grounds relating to his or her personal situation, to object to processing of personal data concerning him or her by the business for scientific or historical research purposes, or for statistical purposes pursuant to Article 89(1) of the General Data Protection Regulation of the European Union, unless the processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest.

In order to exercise the right to object, the data subject may contact any employee of the business. Furthermore, the data subject is free in the context of the use of information society services and, notwithstanding European Union Directive 2002/58/EC, to exercise his or her right to object by automated means using technical specifications.

h) Automated individual decision-making, including profiling

Each data subject shall have the right granted by the European legislator not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects concerning him or her or similarly significantly affects him or her, unless the decision (1) is necessary for entering into, or the performance of, a contract between the data subject and a controller, or (2) is authorized by European Union or Member State law applicable to the controller and which also lays down suitable measures to safeguard the data subject’s rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, or (3) is not based on the data subject’s explicit consent.

Where the decision (1) is necessary for entering into, or the performance of, a contract between the data subject and a controller, or (2) is based on the data subject’s explicit consent, Service Provider shall implement suitable measures to safeguard the data subject’s rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, at least the right to obtain human intervention on the part of the controller to express his or her point of view and contest the decision.

If the data subject wishes to exercise the rights concerning automated individual decision-making, he or she may, at any time, contact any employee of the craft.

i) Right to withdraw consent for data protection

Each data subject has the right granted by the European legislator to withdraw consent to the processing of personal data concerning him or her at any time.

If the data subject wishes to exercise the right to withdraw consent, he or she may, at any time, contact any employee of the craft.

Data protection provisions on the use and use of Facebook

On this website, the controller has integrated components of the company Facebook. Facebook is a social network.

A social network is a social meeting place on the Internet, an online community that usually allows users to communicate and interact with each other in virtual space. A social network can serve as a platform for the exchange of opinions and experiences, or allow the Internet community to provide personal or business information. Facebook allows users of the social network to include creating private profiles, uploading photos, and networking through friend requests.

The company that operates Facebook is Facebook, Inc., 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025, United States. If the person lives outside the United States of America or Canada, the controller is Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland.

With each call-up to one of the individual pages of this website, which is operated by the controller and on which a Facebook component (Facebook plug-in) is integrated, the Internet browser on the information system of the data subject is automatically prompted to send a display of the corresponding Facebook component from Facebook via the Facebook component. An overview of all Facebook plug-ins can be accessed under https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/. During this technical procedure, Facebook is informed of which specific sub-page of our website was visited by the data subject.

If the person is simultaneously logged in to Facebook, Facebook detects every call-up to our website by the data subject and for the entire duration of their stay on our website – which specific sub-pages of our website were visited by the data subject. This data is collected via the Facebook component and linked to the respective Facebook account of the data subject. If the data subject clicks on one of the Facebook buttons integrated on our website, e.g. the “Like” button, or if the data subject comments, then Facebook links this data to the personal Facebook user account of the data subject and stores the personal data.

Facebook always receives, via the Facebook component, information about the visit to our website by the data subject, whenever the person is logged in to Facebook at the same time when calling up our website. This occurs regardless of whether the data subject launches the Facebook component or not. If such a transfer of information to Facebook is not desirable for the data subject, he or she can prevent this by logging out of his or her Facebook account before calling up our website.

The data protection policy published by Facebook, available at https://facebook.com/about/privacy/, provides information about the collection, processing and use of personal data by Facebook. In addition, it explains which settings Facebook offers to protect the data subject’s privacy. In addition, various setting options are available to prevent the transfer of data to Facebook. These applications can be used by the data subject to prevent the transfer of data to Facebook.

Data protection provisions on the use and utilisation of Google Analytics (with anonymisation function)

On this website, the controller has integrated a component of Google Analytics (with anonymization function). Google Analytics is a web analysis service. Web analysis collects and analyses data on the behavior of website visitors. The web analysis service collects, among other things, data on the website from which the person came (so-called Referrer), which sub-pages were visited or how often and for what period of time sub-pages were viewed. Web analysis is mainly used for website optimization and for carrying out cost-benefit analyses of online advertising.

The company providing the Google Analytics component is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland.

For web analytics via Google Analytics, the controller uses the application “_gat. _AnonymizeIp”. With this application, Google shortens and anonymizes the IP address of the internet connection of the data subject when accessing our website from a Member State of the European Union or another contracting state to the Agreement on the European Economic Area (EEA).

The purpose of the Google Analytics component is to analyze the traffic on our website. Google uses the collected data and information, among other things, to evaluate the use of our website and to provide online reports showing the activities on our website and to provide us with other services related to the use of our website.

Google Analytics places a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. The definition of a cookie is explained above. By placing the cookie, Google can analyze the use of our website. With each call-up to one of the individual pages of this website, which is operated by the controller and on which the Google Analytics component is integrated, the Internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject will automatically send data through the Google Analytics component for the purpose of online advertising and the collection of commissions by Google. During this technical procedure, Google acquires knowledge of personal data, such as the IP address of the data subject, which Google uses, among other things, to understand the origin of visitors and clicks and to subsequently collect commissions.

The cookie is used to store personal data, such as the access time, the location from which the access came and the frequency of visits to our website by the data subject. With each visit to our website, such personal data, including the IP address of the Internet access used by the data subject, will be transmitted to Google in the United States of America and stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may transfer this personal data collected by technical means to third parties.

The data subject may, as stated above, prevent the setting of cookies via our website at any time by making a corresponding adjustment to the Internet browser used and thus permanently deny the setting of cookies. Such an adjustment to the Internet browser used would also prevent Google Analytics from setting cookies on the information technology system of the data subject. In addition, cookies already used by Google Analytics can be deleted at any time via the Internet browser or other software programs.

In addition, the data subject has the possibility of objecting to the collection of data generated by Google Analytics relating to the use of this website, as well as to the processing of this data by Google, and of preventing any such collection or processing. For this purpose, the data subject must download the browser add-on available at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout and install it. This browser add-on tells Google Analytics via JavaScript that all data and information about website visits will not be transmitted to Google Analytics. The installation of the browser add-on is considered an objection by Google. If the data subject’s information system is subsequently deleted, formatted or reinstalled, the data subject must reinstall the browser add-on in order to disable Google Analytics. If the browser add-on was uninstalled by the data subject or by any other person responsible for the data subject, or the add-on was disabled, it is possible to reinstall or reactivate the browser add-on.

Additional information and applicable data protection provisions from Google can be downloaded at https://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy/ and http://www.google.com/analytics/terms/us.html. Google Analytics is further explained at the following link https://www.google.com/analytics/.

Provisions on the protection of data on the use and use of the Google AdWords program

On this website, the controller has integrated Google AdWords. Google AdWords is an online advertising service that allows an advertiser to place ads in Google search results and Google’s advertising network. Google AdWords allows an advertiser to pre-define certain keywords that only display the ad on Google’s search results when a user uses search to find search results related to the keywords. In the Google advertising network, ads are distributed on relevant websites using an automatic algorithm, taking into account previously defined keywords.

The company providing the Google AdWords service is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland.

The purpose of Google AdWords is to promote our website by including relevant advertising on third-party websites and search results in the Google search engine, as well as for third-party advertising on our website.

If the subject accesses our website via a Google ad, a conversion cookie is sent to the information technology system of the subject via Google. The definition of a cookie is explained above. The conversion cookie expires after 30 days and is not used to identify the data subject. If the cookie has not expired, the conversion cookie is used to check whether certain subpages on our website have been called up, e.g. the virtual shopping cart of an online shop. Through the conversion cookie, Google and the controller can understand whether a person who reached an AdWords ad on our website generated a sale, or made or cancelled a sale of goods.

Google uses the data and information collected using the conversion cookie to create statistics on visits to our website. These statistics are used to determine the total number of users served via AdWords ads in order to determine the success or failure of each AdWords ad and to optimize AdWords ads in the future. Neither our company nor other Google AdWords advertisers receive information from Google that could identify data subjects.

The conversion cookie stores personal data, e.g. the websites visited by the data subject. Each time we visit our website, personal data, including the IP address of the Internet access used by the data subject, is transmitted to Google in the United States. This personal data is stored by Google in the United States. Google may transfer this personal data collected by the technical process to third parties.

The data subject may at any time prevent the setting of cookies on our website, as stated above, by means of a corresponding setting of the Internet browser used and thus permanently deny the setting of cookies. Such a setting of the Internet browser used would also prevent Google from placing a conversion cookie on the data subject’s information system. In addition, the cookie set by Google AdWords can be deleted at any time via the Internet browser or other software programs.

The data subject has the possibility of objecting to interest-based advertising by Google. For this purpose, the data subject must call up the link at www.google.de/settings/ads and enter the desired settings.

Further information and the applicable data protection provisions of Google can be found at https://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy/.

Provisions on the protection of data on the use and use of the LinkedIn social network

The controller has integrated LinkedIn components on this website. LinkedIn is an online social network that enables users with existing business contacts to connect and create new business contacts. More than 400 million registered people in more than 200 countries use LinkedIn. LinkedIn is currently the largest platform for business contacts and one of the most visited websites in the world.

The company that provides the LinkedIn service is LinkedIn Corporation, 2029 Stierlin Court Mountain View, CA 94043, United States. Privacy policy issues outside the United States are the responsibility of LinkedIn Ireland, Privacy Policy Issues, Wilton Plaza, Wilton Place, Dublin 2, Ireland.

With each call to one of the individual pages of this website, which is managed by the data controller and on which the LinkedIn component (LinkedIn plug-in) is integrated, the Internet browser on the data subject’s information system is automatically prompted to download the display of the corresponding LinkedIn component from LinkedIn. Additional information about the LinkedIn plug-in can be found at https://developer.linkedin.com/plugins. During this technical procedure, LinkedIn knows which specific sub-pages of our website the data subject has visited.

If the data subject is logged in to LinkedIn at the same time, LinkedIn detects with each call-up to our website by the data subject and for the entire duration of their stay on our website – which specific sub-page of our website the data subject has visited. This information is collected via the LinkedIn component and linked to the respective LinkedIn account of the data subject. If the user clicks on one of the LinkedIn buttons integrated on our website, LinkedIn assigns this data to the data subject’s personal LinkedIn user account and stores the personal data.

LinkedIn receives information via the LinkedIn component that the data subject has visited our website, provided that the data subject is logged in to LinkedIn at the time of the call-up to our website. This occurs regardless of whether the data subject clicks on the LinkedIn button or not. If such a data transfer to LinkedIn is not desirable for the data subject, he or she can prevent this by logging out of his or her LinkedIn account before calling up our website.

LinkedIn at https://www.linkedin.com/psettings/guest-controls provides the ability to unsubscribe from email messages, text messages and targeted ads, as well as the ability to manage ad settings. LinkedIn also uses affiliates such as Eire, Google Analytics, BlueKai, DoubleClick, Nielsen, Comscore, Eloqua and Lotame. The setting of such cookies can be refused at https://www.linkedin.com/legal/cookie-policy. The applicable privacy policy for LinkedIn is available at https://www.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy. LinkedIn’s cookie policy is available at https://www.linkedin.com/legal/cookie-policy.

Legal basis for processing

Article 6(1) GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing operations for which we have obtained consent for a specific processing purpose. If the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party, such as the case, for example, where the processing is necessary for the delivery of goods or the provision of any other service, the processing is based on Article 6(1)(b) GDPR. The same applies to those processing operations that are necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures, such as in the case of inquiries about our products or services. If our company is subject to a legal obligation that requires the processing of personal data, such as the fulfillment of tax obligations, the processing is based on Article 6(1)(c) GDPR. In rare cases, the processing of personal data may be necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor to our company is injured and their name, age, health insurance details or other vital data should be passed on to a doctor, hospital or other third party. The processing would then be based on Art. 6(1)(d) GDPR. Finally, processing operations could be based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. This legal basis is used for processing operations that are not covered by any of the above-mentioned legal grounds, if the processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by our company or by a third party, unless such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject which require protection of personal data. Such processing operations are particularly permissible because the European legislator specifically mentioned them. He considered that a legitimate interest can be assumed if the data subject is a client of the controller (Recital 47 Sentence 2 GDPR).”

Legitimate interests pursued by the controller or a third party

If the processing of personal data is based on Art. 6 Para. 1 Point f) GDPR, it is our legitimate interest to operate in the best interests of all our employees and shareholders.

Period for which personal data will be stored

The criteria for determining the storage period of personal data are the relevant statutory retention periods. After this period has expired, the relevant data are routinely deleted, as long as they are no longer required for the performance of a contract or the initiation of a contract.

Provision of personal data as a legal or contractual requirement; Conditions necessary for concluding a contract; Obligation of the data subject to provide personal data; possible consequences of not providing such data

We would like to clarify that the provision of personal data is partly required by law (e.g. tax regulations) or may result from contractual provisions (e.g. information about the contractual partner). Sometimes it may be necessary to conclude a contract under which the data subject provides us with personal data, which we must subsequently process. For example, the data subject is obliged to provide us with personal data when our company signs a contract with him or her. Failure to provide personal data would result in the contract with the data subject not being able to be concluded. Before the data subject provides personal data, the data subject must contact any employee. The employee explains to the data subject whether the provision of personal data is required by law or contract or is necessary for the conclusion of the contract, whether there is an obligation to provide personal data and the consequences of not providing personal data.
