General information on data processing

Scope of the processing of personal data

As a matter of principle, we collect and use the personal data of our users only to the extent necessary for the provision of a functional website and our content and services. The regular collection and use of the personal data of our users takes place only with the consent of the user. An exception applies in those cases in which it is not possible to obtain prior consent for factual reasons and the processing of the data is permitted by legal regulations.

Legal basis for the processing of personal data

Insofar as we obtain your consent for the processing of personal data, Art. 6 (1)(a) of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) serves as the legal basis for the processing of personal data.

When processing personal data that is necessary for the performance of a contract to which you are a party, Art. 6 (1)(b) GDPR serves as the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations that are necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures.

Insofar as the processing of personal data is necessary for the fulfillment of a legal obligation to which we are subject, Art. 6 (1)(c) GDPR serves as the legal basis.

If the processing is necessary to protect a legitimate interest of our company or a third party and if your interests, fundamental rights and freedoms do not outweigh the first-mentioned interest, Art. 6 (1)(f) GDPR serves as the legal basis for the processing.

Data erasure and storage period

Your personal data will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of storage no longer applies. In addition, storage may take place if provided for by the European or national legislator in Union regulations, laws or other provisions to which we are subject. Data will also be blocked or deleted if a storage period prescribed by the aforementioned standards expires, unless there is a need to continue storing the data for the conclusion or performance of a contract.

Provision of the website and creation of log files

Description and scope of data processing

Each time someone visits our website, our system automatically collects data and information from the computer system of the calling computer.

The following data is collected:

  • Information about the browser type and version used
  • The operating system of the user
  • The Internet service provider of the user
  • 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. This data is not stored together with other personal data of the user.

Legal basis for data processing

The legal basis for the temporary storage of the data and the log files is Art. 6 (1)(f) GDPR.

Purpose of data processing

The temporary storage of the IP address by the system is necessary to enable delivery of the website to the user's computer. For this purpose, the user's IP address must remain stored for the duration of the session. The information is stored in log files in order to ensure the functionality of the website.

In addition, we use the data to optimize the website and to ensure the security of our information technology systems.

Web analytics (also referred to as "reach measurement") is used to evaluate the flow of visitors to our online offering and may include behavior, interests or demographic information about visitors, such as age or gender, in the form of anonymized data. With reach analytics, we can, for example, ascertain at what time our online offering or its functions or content are most frequently used or invite re-use. Likewise, we can find out which areas require optimization.

In addition to web analytics, we may also use testing procedures, for example, to test and optimize different versions of our online offering or its components.

These purposes establish our legitimate interest in data processing under Art. 6 (1)(f) GDPR.

Unless otherwise stated in the following, profiles, i.e. data summarized for a usage process, can be created for these purposes and information can be stored in a browser or in a terminal device and read from it. The information collected includes, in particular, websites visited and elements used there, as well as technical information such as the browser used, the computer system used, and information on usage times. If users have consented to the collection of their location data from us or from the providers of the services we use, location data may also be processed.

However, we use an IP masking procedure (i.e., pseudonymization by shortening the IP address) to protect users. Generally, in connection with web analysis, A/B testing and optimization, no plain data of the users (such as e-mail addresses or names) is stored, but only pseudonyms. This means that we, as well as the providers of the software used, do not know the actual identity of the users, but only the information stored in their profiles for the purposes of the respective procedures.

For this purpose, your consent is first obtained (Art. 6 (1)(a) GDPR).

Duration of storage

The data is deleted as soon as it is no longer required to achieve the purpose for which it was collected. This is the case with the data collected for the provision of the website when the respective session has ended.

If data is stored in log files, it is deleted after seven days at the latest. A longer storage time is possible. In that case, the IP addresses of the users are deleted or modified, so that the calling client cannot be identified.

Right to object and erasure

The collection of data for the provision of the website and the storage of the data in log files is mandatory for the operation of the website. Consequently, there is no possibility for you to object.

Use of cookies

a) Description and scope of data processing

Our website uses cookies. Cookies are text files that are stored in the Internet browser or by the Internet browser on the user's computer system. When a user accesses a website, a cookie may be stored on the user's operating system. This cookie contains a characteristic string of characters that enables the browser to be uniquely identified when the website is called up again.

We distinguish between several types of cookies:

  • Session cookies are temporary cookie files that are automatically deleted as soon as you close your browser.
  • Persistent cookies are cookie files that are stored until they are actively deleted or automatically removed after a certain time.
  • First-party cookies are cookies that are set directly by us.
  • Third-party cookies are cookies that are set by a third-party provider

We use cookies to make our website more user-friendly. Some elements of our website require the calling browser to be identified even after a change of page.

Functional cookies are used to provide you with standard services on our pages. Without the use of cookies, our website functions only in a very limited way and may be faulty.

Optimization cookies allow us to analyze the use of our website. If you have not consented to the use of your personal data for this purpose, this analysis is anonymous. It helps us to improve our services and the products and services offered.

Customization cookies allow us to determine your personal preferences, such as your preferred language. We use these cookies to improve the user experience and to offer you a website visit that is tailored to your person.

Security-related cookies are cookies that are necessary to protect the website against attacks and prevent fraud attempts.

On individual pages, personal data may be stored in cookies if you have expressly consented to this beforehand, e.g. in order to avoid having to re-enter access data. In principle, you can access all information on our websites even if you have deactivated cookies in your Internet browser. If you do not accept cookies, this may lead to functional restrictions of our offers.

The following data is stored and transmitted in cookies:

  • Language settings
  • Login information

We also use cookies on our website that enable an analysis of the user's browsing behavior.

In this respect, the following data may be transmitted:

  • Search terms entered
  • Frequency of page views
  • Use of website functions

The user data collected in this way is pseudonymized by technical precautions. Therefore, an assignment of the data to the calling user is no longer possible. The data is not stored together with other personal data of users.

When calling up our website, users are informed about the use of cookies for analysis purposes and their consent to the processing of personal data used in this context is obtained. There is also a reference to this privacy policy.

b) Legal basis for data processing

The legal basis for the processing of personal data using technically necessary cookies is Art. 6 (1)(f) GDPR.

The legal basis for the processing of personal data using cookies for analysis purposes is Art. 6 (1)(a) GDPR if the user has consented thereto.

c) Purpose of data processing

The purpose of using technically necessary cookies is to make it easier for you to use websites. Some functions of our website cannot be offered without the use of cookies. For these, the browser must be recognized even after a page change.

The user data collected via technically necessary cookies is not used to create user profiles.

Analysis cookies are used for the purpose of improving the quality of our website and its content. Through analysis cookies, we learn how the website is used and can thus constantly optimize our offer.

e) Duration of storage, right of objection and erasure

Cookies are stored on the user's computer and transmitted from it to our site. Therefore, you as a user have full control over the use of cookies. By changing the settings in your Internet browser, you can disable or restrict the transmission of cookies. Cookies that have already been stored can be deleted at any time. This can also be done automatically. If cookies are deactivated for our website, it may no longer be possible to use all functions of the website in full.

Consent to the use of cookies.

For our website to function properly we use cookies. To obtain your valid consent for the use and storage of cookies in the browser you use to access our website and to properly document this we use a consent management platform: CookieFirst. This technology is provided by Digital Data Solutions BV, Plantage Middenlaan 42a, 1018 DH, Amsterdam, The Netherlands. Website: https://cookiefirst.com referred to as CookieFirst.

When you access our website, a connection is established with CookieFirst’s server to give us the possibility to obtain valid consent from you to the use of certain cookies. CookieFirst then stores a cookie in your browser in order to be able to activate only those cookies to which you have consented and to properly document this. The data processed is stored until the predefined storage period expires or you request to delete the data. Certain mandatory legal storage periods may apply notwithstanding the aforementioned.

CookieFirst is used to obtain the legally required consent for the use of cookies. The legal basis for this is article 6(1)(c) of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

Data processing agreement

We have concluded a data processing agreement with CookieFirst. This is a contract required by data protection law, which ensures that data of our website visitors is only processed in accordance with our instructions and in compliance with the GDPR.

Your email address, first name and last name will be transmitted, if you provide them.

In addition, the following data is collected during registration:

  • IP address of the calling computer
  • Date and time of registration

For the processing of data, your consent is obtained during the registration process and reference is made to this privacy policy.

No data will be passed on to third parties in connection with the data processed in relation to newsletters. The data is used exclusively for sending the newsletter.

Legal basis for data processing

The legal basis for the processing of data after the user registers for the newsletter is Art. 6 (1)(a) GDPR if the user has given his/her consent.

Purpose of data processing

The collection of the user's e-mail address is used to deliver the newsletter.

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 is deleted as soon as it is no longer required to achieve the purpose for which it was collected. The user's e-mail address will be 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 erasure

You can cancel the subscription to the newsletter at any time. For this purpose, you will find a corresponding link in each newsletter. This also allows you to revoke your consent to the storage of personal data collected during the registration process.

Contact form and e-mail contact

Description and scope of data processing

On our website there is a contact form which can be used for electronic contact. If you take advantage of this option, the information entered in the input mask will be transmitted to us and stored. This information is: Name, e-mail address and telephone number, company and work area.

The following data is also stored at the time the message is sent:

Purpose of data processing

We use personal data from the input mask solely to process the contact. In the case of contact by e-mail, this also constitutes the necessary legitimate interest in processing the data.

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

Duration of storage

The data is deleted as soon as it is no longer required to achieve the purpose for which it was collected. Concerning the personal information from the input mask of the contact form and the information sent by e-mail, it is erased when the respective conversation with you has ended. The conversation is ended when it is clear from the circumstances that the matter in question has been conclusively 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 erasure

Where the processing of your personal data has been restricted, such data may be processed, with the exception of its storage, only with your consent or for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interest of the Union or a Member State.

If processing has been restricted in accordance with the above conditions, you will be accordingly informed by us before the restriction is lifted.

Right to erasure

Exceptions

The right to erasure does not exist insofar as the processing is necessary

Right to information

If you have asserted the right to rectification, erasure or restriction of processing against us, we are obliged to notify all recipients to whom your personal data has been disclosed of this rectification or erasure of the data or restriction of processing, unless this proves impossible or involves a disproportionate effort.

You have the right to be informed about these recipients.

Right to data portability

You have the right to receive your personal data that you have provided to us in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format. You also have the right to transfer this data to another controller without hindrance from the controller to whom the personal data was provided, provided that

  • the processing is based on consent pursuant to Art. 6 (1)(a) GDPR or Art. 9 (2)(a) GDPR or on a contract pursuant to Art. 6 (1)(b) GDPR and
  • the processing is carried out by automated means.

In exercising this right, you also have the right to have your personal data transferred directly from one controller to another controller, insofar as this is technically feasible. The freedoms and rights of other persons must not be affected by this.

Right to object

You have the right to object at any time, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to the processing of your personal data which is carried out on the basis of Article 6(1)(e) or (f) GDPR; this also applies to profiling based on those provisions.

We will no longer process your personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims.

If your personal data is processed for the purpose of direct marketing, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of your personal data for the purpose of such marketing; this also applies to profiling, insofar as it is related to such direct marketing.

If you object to processing for direct marketing purposes, your personal data will no longer be processed for such purposes.

The supervisory authority to which the complaint has been lodged will inform the complainant of the status and outcome of the complaint, including the possibility of a judicial remedy under Article 78 GDPR.

Tools and third parties

  1. Google Tag Manager

For our website we use the Google Tag Manager from Google Inc. This tag manager is one of many helpful marketing products from Google. Through the Google Tag Manager, we can centrally install and manage code sections from various tracking tools that we use on our site. A tag is a small section of code that, for example, records (tracks) your activities on this website. For this purpose, Java script code sections are inserted into the source code of our page. The texts come from Google Tag products such as Google Ads or Google Analytics.

Such tags perform various tasks. They can collect browser data, feed marketing tools with data, embed buttons, set cookies, and track users across multiple websites.

The tag manager itself is a domain that does not set any cookies and does not store any data. The tag manager itself is merely an administrator of the implemented tags. This data is collected by the individual tags of different web analytics tools. This data is sent to the individual tracking tools in the Google Tag Manager and is not stored.

The use of Google Tag Manager requires your consent, which we have obtained with our cookie pop-up. According to Art. 6 (1)(a) GDPR, such consent is the legal basis for the processing of personal data as it occurs during the collection by web analytics tools.

Google also processes data in the USA, among other places. We would like to point out that according to the opinion of the European Court of Justice, the level of protection for the transfer of data to the USA is currently not adequate. This may be associated with various risks for the legality and security of data processing.

Google uses standard contractual clauses approved by the EU Commission (Article 46 (2) and (3) of GDPR) as the basis for data processing for recipients located in third countries (outside the European Union, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway) or for data transfer there. These clauses oblige Google to comply with the EU level of data protection when processing relevant data outside the EU. These clauses are in turn based on an implementing decision of the EU Commission.

If you would like to learn more about how we handle your data, we recommend that you read the privacy policy at https://policis.google.com/privacy?hl=de.

The legal basis for the processing of personal data using cookies for Google is Art. 6 (1)(a) GDPR, where the user has granted the relevant consent.

  1. Google Analytics

On our website we use the analytical tracking tool Google Analytics of the American company Google Inc. For the European area, the company Google Ireland Limited is responsible for all Google services. Google Analytics collects data about your actions on our website. For example, when you click on a link, a cookie is stored for these actions and sent to Google Analytics. With the reports we receive from Google Analytics, we can better tailor our website service to your preferences. In order for Google Analytics to work, a tracking code is built into the code of our website. When you visit our website, this code records various actions you take on our website. Once you leave our website, this data is sent to Google Analytics servers and stored there. Google processes this data and we obtain reports about your user behavior.

These reports can include the following:

  • Target group reports: through target group reports, we get to know users better and know exactly who is interested in our services.
  • Advertising reports: through advertising reports we can easily analyze and improve our online advertising.
  • Acquisition reports: acquisition reports provide helpful information on how to arouse interest in our service.
  • Behavioral reports: we learn how you interact with our website. We can track the path you take to our pages, and which links you click.
  • Conversion reports: conversion is the name given to a process in which you perform a desired action as a result of a marketing message. For example, when you go from being a mere website visitor to a buyer or newsletter subscriber. These reports help us learn more about how our marketing efforts are resonating with you. In this way, we aim to increase our conversion rate.
  • Real-time reports: here we can find out immediately what is currently happening on our website. For example, we can see how many users are currently reading this text.

Our goal with this service is to provide you with the best possible service. The statistically evaluated data shows us a clear picture of the strengths and weaknesses of our website. On the one hand, we can optimize our site so that it is found more easily by interested people on Google. On the other hand, the data helps us to better understand you as a visitor. We can thus learn precisely what we need to improve on our website in order to provide you with the best possible service. The data also helps us to carry out our advertising and marketing measures more cost-effectively on an individual basis.

Google Analytics uses a tracking code to provide a random, unique ID that is associated with your browser cookie. This is how Google Analytics recognizes you as a new user. The next time you visit our website, you will be recognized as a returning user. All collected data is stored together with our user ID. This is what makes it is possible to evaluate pseudonymous user profiles.

In order for Google Analytics to analyze our website, a property ID must be inserted into the tracking code. This data is then stored in the corresponding property.

Markers such as cookies and app instance IDs are used to measure your interaction on our website. Interactions are all types of actions you take on our website. If you also use other Google systems, data generated via Google Analytics may be linked to third-party cookies. Google does not share Google Analytics data unless we, as the website operator, authorize it. Exceptions may occur if required by law.

Google's servers are located all over the world. Mostly, however, they are located in America, so that your data is also stored on American servers.

The use of Google Analytics requires your consent, which we have obtained with our cookie pop-up. Such consent is the legal basis for the processing of personal data according to Art. 6 (1)(a) GDPR.

Google also processes data in the USA, among other places. We would like to point out that according to the opinion of the European Court of Justice, the level of protection for the transfer of data to the USA is currently not adequate. This may be associated with various risks for the legality and security of data processing.

These clauses are in turn based on an implementing decision of the EU Commission.

The legal basis for the processing of personal data using cookies for Google is Art. 6 (1)(a) GDPR, where the user has granted the relevant consent.

  1. Google Maps

On our website we use Google Maps of the company Google Inc. With Google Maps we can show our location better and thus adapt our service to your needs. When Google Maps is used, data is transmitted to Google and stored on Google servers. Google Maps is an internet map service. By integrating Google Maps, we can provide you with the most important information about various locations. You can see at a glance where our company headquarters are located. The directions always show the best and fastest way to reach us. Directions by car, public transport, on foot or by bike can be displayed.

In order for Google Maps to offer a complete service, the company must record and store data about you. This includes the search terms entered, your IP address and also the latitude and longitude coordinates. If you use the route planner function, the start address entered is also stored. However, this data storage takes place on the websites of Google Maps. We can only inform you about it, but have no influence over it. Since we have integrated Google Maps into our site, Google sets at least one cookie in your browser. This cookie stores data about your user behavior. Google in turn uses this data primarily to optimize its own services and to provide individual, personalized advertising for you.

Google also processes data in the USA, among other places. We would like to point out that according to the opinion of the European Court of Justice, the level of protection for the transfer of data to the USA is currently not adequate. This may be associated with various risks for the legality and security of data processing.

Google uses standard contractual clauses approved by the EU Commission (Article 46 (2) and (3) of GDPR) as the basis for data processing for recipients located in third countries (outside the European Union, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway) or for data transfer there.

These clauses are in turn based on an implementing decision of the EU Commission.

If you would like to learn more about how we handle your data, we recommend that you read the privacy policy at https://policis.google.com/pri...;

You will be asked for your consent before calling up the map.

The legal basis for the processing of personal data using cookies for Google is Art. 6 (1)(a) GDPR, where the user has granted the relevant consent.

If in principle you do not want cookies, you can set up your browser so that it always informs you when a cookie is to be set. You can then decide for each individual cookie whether you wish to allow it or not.
