Data security information

This website uses SSL or TLS encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content such as orders or inquiries that you send to us in our capacity as responsible website operator. You can recognize an encrypted connection in your browser’s address line when it changes from “http://” to “https://” and the lock icon is displayed in your browser’s address bar. If SSL or TLS encryption is activated, third parties are categorically unable to read the data that you transmit to us.

In addition to this, we employ suitable technical and organizational security measures to protect your data against accidental or deliberate manipulation, partial or total loss, destruction or unauthorized third-party access. We continuously improve our security measures in line with the latest technological developments.

Please note that data transmitted on the Internet (e.g., during e-mail communication) is not always secure. It is not possible to guarantee complete protection of data against access by third parties.

Storage duration

Unless a more specific storage period has been specified in this privacy policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for which it was collected no longer applies. If you assert a justified request for deletion or revoke your consent to data processing, your data will be deleted, unless we have other legally permissible reasons for storing your personal data (e.g. tax or commercial law retention periods); in the latter case, the deletion will take place after these reasons cease to apply.

Furthermore, data is automatically recorded by the host in what are called server log files. The data (primarily IP addresses, website visits, pages visited) is recorded to ensure the error-free technical presentation and troubleshooting and, where applicable, for tracking and investigating attempted attacks.

The host is used for the purposes of performing the contract with our potential and existing customers (Art. 6 Par. 1 (b) of the GDPR) and in the interest of ensuring the secure, quick and efficient delivery of our online presence by a professional provider (Art. 6 Par. 1 (f) of the GDPR). Our host will only process your data to the extent required in order to fulfill its service obligations and will follow our instructions regarding this data.

Recorded data may also be used in individual cases for identifying and rectifying faults as well as for investigating and tracking attempted attacks. Collection and processing are performed in this context on the basis of Art. 6 Par. 1 (f) of the GDPR. We as responsible website operators have a legitimate interest in ensuring the technically flawless presentation and secure operation of our offering. Log data for the web server that is generated by the system is stored for a period of 14 days. After that, it is deleted automatically.

To guarantee processing in compliance with data protection requirements, we have concluded a contract for commissioned processing with our host in accordance with Art. 28 of the GDPR.

  • The IP address of the requesting computer
  • The date and time that the page was visited
  • The content of the request (specific web page)
  • The access status / HTTP status code
  • The volume of data transmitted in each case

We retain the data that you transmit to us until you request that we delete it, withdraw your consent to its storage or if the purpose of its storage no longer applies (e.g., when the processing of your inquiry is complete).

This takes place using what is called a double opt-in method: after completing the registration, you receive an e-mail in which you are asked to confirm your registration. Additional data is not collected or is only collected on a voluntary basis. We use this data exclusively for the purpose of sending the requested information.

This does not affect data that was stored by us for other purposes.

After you remove yourself from the newsletter distribution list, your e-mail address may be stored by us or by the newsletter service provider in a blacklist to prevent future mail deliveries. The data from the blacklist is only used for this purpose and is not merged with other data. This serves both your interest as well as our interest in complying with statutory requirements governing the sending of newsletters (legitimate interest in accordance with Art. 6 Par. 1 (f) of the GDPR). There is no time limit on the storage in the blacklist. You may object to the storage provided that your interests outweigh our legitimate interest.

■ Google Ads Dynamic Remarketing

We also use the dynamic remarketing function within Google Ads, a service of Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (“Google”), which is provided within the European Economic Area (EEA) and Switzerland by Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland).

The technology enables us to display targeted ads that are automatically generated based on your visit to our website on other websites within the Google Network. The ads are oriented towards the products and services that you clicked during your most recent visit to our website.

To create interest-based ads, Google uses cookies that are stored in your browser when you visit our website. Google normally saves information such as your web request, the IP address, the browser type, the browser language, the date and time of your request. This information is used exclusively to associate the web browser with a specific computer. It cannot be used to identify a person.

The use of Google Ads Dynamic Remarketing occurs on the basis of your consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25(1) TDDDG. You may revoke your consent at any time.

■ Google DoubleClick & Floodlight

This website uses functions of Google DoubleClick. This is a service of Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (“Google”), which is provided within the European Economic Area (EEA) and Switzerland by Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland).

DoubleClick is used to display interest-based ads in the entire Google Network. With the help of DoubleClick, the ads can be customized to the interests of the respective viewer. This means that our ads are displayed, for example, in Google search results or in ad banners associated with DoubleClick.

In order to display ads that reflect the interests of users, DoubleClick must recognize the respective viewer and be able to assign the websites visited, clicks and other information to that particular user's behavior. For this purpose, DoubleClick uses cookies or comparable recognition technologies (e.g., device fingerprinting). The information recorded is combined to create a pseudonymous user profile in order to display ads that reflect the interests of the user in question.

In the context of Google DoubleClick, we use the functions of the conversion tracking system Floodlight. The DoubleClick Floodlight cookies used enable us to measure the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns and only show ads that are relevant to your interests. By means of the Floodlight cookies, Google receives the information that you have visited certain areas of our website or clicked on one of our ads (conversion tracking).

For this, information on ads you have clicked on and your previous usage behavior on other websites is determined and stored. The multiple display of ads can also be prevented via the cookie ID.

Data transmission to the U.S. is based on the Standard Contractual Clauses (SCC) of the European Commission. Details can be found here:

■ LinkedIn Insight Tag

This website uses the Insight tag from LinkedIn. This service is provided by LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company, Wilton Plaza, Wilton Place, Dublin 2, Ireland. Outside of the European Economic Area (EEA) and Switzerland, the provider is LinkedIn Corporation, 1000 W. Maude Avenue, Sunnyvale, CA 94085, USA.

Data processing by LinkedIn Insight tag
We use the LinkedIn Insight tag to obtain information about visitors to our website. Once a website visitor is registered with LinkedIn, we can analyze the key occupational data (e.g., career level, company size, country, location, industry, job title) of our website visitors to help us better target our site to the relevant audience. We can also use LinkedIn Insight tags to measure whether visitors to our websites make a purchase or perform other actions (conversion measurement). Conversion measurement can also be carried out across devices (e.g. from PC to tablet). LinkedIn Insight Tag also features a retargeting function that allows us to display targeted advertising to visitors to our website outside of the website. According to LinkedIn, no identification of the advertising addressee takes place.

LinkedIn itself also collects log files (URL, referrer URL, IP address, device and browser characteristics and time of access). The IP addresses are shortened or (if they are used to reach LinkedIn members across devices) hashed (pseudonymized). The direct identifiers of LinkedIn members are deleted by LinkedIn after seven days. The remaining pseudonymized data will then be deleted within 180 days.

The data collected by LinkedIn cannot be assigned by us as a website operator to specific individuals. LinkedIn will store the personal data collected from website visitors on its servers in the USA and use it for its own promotional activities. For details, please see LinkedIn’s privacy policy at
https://www.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy

Legal basis
If your approval (consent) has been obtained the use of the abovementioned service shall occur on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25 TDDDG (German Telecommunications Act). Such consent may be revoked at any time. If your consent was not obtained, the use of the service will occur on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR; the website operator has a legitimate interest in effective advertising promotions that include the utilization of social media.

Your rights

The right to request information, correction, and deletion

As part of the applicable statutory provisions, you have the right at any time according to Art. 15 of the GDPR to receive information free of charge about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients and the purpose of data processing and, if applicable, a right to the correction according to Art. 16 of the GDPR or deletion of this data in compliance with Art. 17 of the GDPR. The right of access and the right to erasure are subject to the restrictions according to §§ 34 and 35 of the German Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG). To exercise your rights, you can contact the data controller or the data protection officer using the contact details provided above.

The right to restrict the processing of your data

You have the right to request the restriction of processing of your personal data. To exercise your rights, you can contact the data controller or the data protection officer using the contact details provided above. The right to restrict processing applies in the following cases:

  • If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we usually need time to investigate this. For the duration of this investigation, you have the right to request the restriction of processing of your personal data.
  • If your personal data was/is unlawfully processed, you can request the restriction of data processing instead of the deletion of the data.
  • If we no longer require your personal data but you require it in order to exercise, defend or assert legal claims, you have the right to request the restriction of processing of your personal data instead of its deletion.
  • If you have lodged an objection according to Art. 21 Par. 1 of the GDPR, consideration must be given to your interests and our interests. For as long as it cannot be determined whose interests take priority, you have the right to request the restriction of processing of your personal data.

If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, this data – with the exception of its storage – may only be processed with your consent or for the purpose of asserting, exercising or defending of legal claims or protecting the rights of a natural or legal person or on grounds of important public interest of the European Union or a member state.

The right to data portability

According to Art. 20 of the GDPR, you have the right to request that we hand over data that we process automatically based on your consent or for the performance of a contract to yourself or to a third party in a commonly used machine-readable format. If you request the direct transmission of data to another controller, this will only take place insofar as it is technically feasible.

The right to object to data collection in special cases and to direct marketing

If data is processed on the basis of Art. 6 Par. 1 (e) or (f) of the GDPR, you have the right, for reasons that arise from your particular situation, to lodge an objection at any time to the processing of your personal data; this also applies for profiling based on these provisions. For information about the relevant legal basis on which any such processing based, refer to this data privacy statement. If you submit an objection, we will no longer process your personal data in question unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for such processing, which override your interests, rights and freedoms or if processing serves the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims (objection according to Art. 21 Par. 1 of the GDPR).

If your personal data is processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to lodge an objection at any time to the processing of personal data that concerns you for the purpose of such marketing; this also applies to profiling insofar as it is connected with this type of direct marketing. If you lodge an objection, your personal data will no longer be used for direct marketing purposes (objection according to Art. 21 Par. 2 of the GDPR).

Withdrawing your consent to data processing

Many data processing operations can only be carried out with your explicit consent. You may withdraw consent previously issued by you at any time. Any such withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of data processing carried out up to the time of the withdrawal.

Right to lodge a complaint with the responsible supervisory authority

In case of infringements of the GDPR, the data subject has the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the member state of his or her habitual residence, place of work or place of the alleged infringement. The right to lodge a complaint shall apply irrespective of any other administrative or judicial legal remedy.

The responsible supervisory authority for issues relating to privacy regulations is the commissioner for data protection of the German federal state in which our company has its registered office.

If you do not provide us with this data, we are unable to perform and process the contractual relationship or provide our services.

You must provide personal data as part of your application in order for the application process to proceed. In other words, if you fail to provide any personal data in an application, we will not carry out the application procedure and will be forced to exclude you from the selection process.

Our social media presentations

This privacy policy applies to the following social media presence:

Data processing through social networks
We maintain publicly accessible profiles in social networks. You can find the individual social networks that we use further below.

Social networks such as Facebook, etc. can generally carry out extensive analyses of your user behavior if you visit their website or a website with integrated social media content (e.g., “like” buttons or ad banners). Visits to our social media presence trigger numerous processing operations with privacy implications. Specifically, these are as follows:

If you are signed in to your social media account and visit our social media presence, the responsible operator of the social media portal can assign this visit to your user account. Under certain circumstances, however, your personal data can also be recorded if you are not signed in or do not have an account with the respective social media portal. In this case, the data is recorded, for example, by cookies that are stored on your terminal or by the recording of your IP address.

The data recorded in this way enables the responsible operators of the social media portals to create user profiles in which your preferences and interests are stored. This makes it possible to display interest-based ads to you both inside and outside of the respective social media presence. If you have an account with the respective social network, the interest-based ads can be displayed on all devices on which you are or were signed in.

Please also keep in mind we are unable to track all processing operations on the social media portals. Depending on the provider, the responsible operators of the social media portals may therefore carry out additional processing operations. For details about this, refer to the terms of use and the privacy policies of the relevant social media portals.

Legal basis of processing
Our social media presentations aim to guarantee the widest possible presence on the Internet. This is a legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 Par. 1 (f) of the GDPR. The analysis processes initiated by the social networks may be based on different legal principles, which the responsible operators of the social networks are required to specify (e.g., consent in accordance with Art. 6 Par. 1 (a) of the GDPR).

The controller and exercising of rights
If you visit one of our social media presentations (e.g., Facebook), we and the responsible operator of the social media platform are jointly responsible for the data processing operations triggered during this visit. As a general rule, you are entitled to assert your rights (information, correction, deletion, restriction of processing, data portability and complaints) against us and against the responsible operator of the respective social media portal (e.g., against Facebook).

Please note that despite sharing responsibility with the responsible operators of the social media portals, we have limited influence on the data processing operations of the social medial portals. Our options are primarily aligned with the corporate policy of the respective provider.

Storage duration
The data recorded directly by us via our social media presence will be deleted by our systems as soon as you request us to delete it, you withdraw your consent to its storage or the purpose for which the data is stored no longer applies. Stored cookies remain on your terminal until you delete them. Mandatory legal provisions – especially retention periods – are not affected.

We have no influence on the storage duration of your data that the responsible operators of the social networks store for their own purposes. For details about this, please seek information directly from the responsible operators of the social networks (e.g., in their data privacy statement, see below).

Your rights
You have the right to receive information about the origin, recipient and purpose of your stored personal data at any time and free of charge. You also have the right to object, the right to data portability and the right to file a complaint with the responsible regulatory agency. Furthermore, you can request the correction, blocking, deletion and, under certain circumstances, the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
