2. legal basis

The term "personal data" under data protection law refers to all information relating to an identified or identifiable individual. We process personal data in compliance with the relevant data protection regulations, in particular the DSGVO and the Data Protection Act 2000 (hereinafter "DSG"). Data processing by us only takes place on the basis of a legal permission. We process personal data only with your consent (Section 7 (2) point 2 DSG or Art. 6 (1) letter a DSGVO), for the performance of a contract to which you are a party or at your request to carry out pre-contractual measures (Art. 6 (1) letter b DSGVO), to comply with a legal obligation (Art. 6 (1) (c) DSGVO) or if the processing is necessary to protect our legitimate interests or the legitimate interests of a third party, unless your interests or fundamental rights and freedoms which require the protection of personal data override (Art. 6 (1) (f) DSGVO).

3. duration of storage

Unless otherwise stated in the following notes, we store the data only for as long as is necessary to achieve the processing purpose or to fulfill our contractual or legal obligations. Such legal retention obligations may arise in particular from commercial or tax law regulations. From the end of the calendar year in which the data was collected, we will retain such personal data contained in our accounting records for ten years and retain personal data contained in commercial letters and contracts for six years. In addition, we will retain data in connection with consents requiring proof as well as with complaints and claims for the duration of the statutory limitation periods. We will delete data stored for advertising purposes if you object to processing for this purpose.

4. categories of recipients of the data

We use order processors in the context of processing your data. Processing operations carried out by such processors include, for example, hosting, sending e-mails, maintenance and support of IT systems, customer and order management, accounting and billing, marketing measures or file and data carrier destruction. A processor is a natural or legal person, authority, institution or other body that processes personal data on behalf of the data controller. Processors do not use the data for their own purposes, but carry out data processing exclusively for the data controller and are contractually obligated to ensure appropriate technical and organizational measures for data protection. In addition, we may transfer your personal data to bodies such as postal and delivery services, house bank, tax consultancy/auditing company or the financial administration. Further recipients may be listed in the following notes.

5. data transfer to third countries

Our data processing operations may involve the transfer of certain personal data to third countries, i.e. countries where the GDPR is not applicable law. Such a transfer is permissible if the European Commission has determined that an adequate level of data protection is warranted in such third country. If such an adequacy decision by the European Commission does not exist, a transfer of personal data to a third country will only take place if appropriate safeguards are in place in accordance with Article 46 of the GDPR or if one of the conditions of Article 49 of the GDPR is met.

Unless otherwise stated below, we use the EU standard data protection clauses as suitable safeguards for the transfer of personal data in third countries. You have the possibility to obtain a copy of these EU standard data protection clauses or to inspect them. To do so, please contact us at the address given under Contact.

If you consent to the transfer of personal data to third countries, the transfer will take place on the legal basis of Article 49 (1) a DSGVO.

6. processing when exercising your rights

If you exercise your rights under Articles 15 to 22 DSGVO, we process the personal data transferred for the purpose of implementing these rights by us and to be able to provide evidence thereof. We will only process data stored for the purpose of providing information and preparing it for this purpose and for data protection control purposes and otherwise restrict processing in accordance with Art. 18 DSGVO.

These processing operations are based on the legal basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. C DSGVO in conjunction with. Art. 15 to 22 DSGVO.

7. your rights

As a data subject, you have the right to assert your data subject rights against us. In particular, you have the following rights:

  • In accordance with Art. 15 DSGVO and Section 44 DSG, you have the right to request information about whether and, if so, to what extent we are processing personal data relating to you or not.
  • You have the right to demand that we correct your data in accordance with Art. 16 DSGVO.
  • You have the right, in accordance with Art. 17 DSGVO and § 45 DSG, to demand that we delete your personal data.
  • You have the right to have the processing of your personal data restricted in accordance with Art. 18 DSGVO.
  • You have the right, in accordance with Art. 20 DSGVO, to receive the personal data concerning you that you have provided to us in a structured, common and machine-readable format and to transfer this data to another controller.
  • If you have given us separate consent to data processing, you may revoke this consent at any time in accordance with Article 7 (3) DSGVO. Such a revocation will not affect the lawfulness of the processing that was carried out on the basis of the consent until the revocation.
  • If you believe that a processing of personal data concerning you violates the provisions of the GDPR, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority in accordance with Art. 77 GDPR.

8. right of objection

In accordance with Art. 21(1) DSGVO, you have the right to object to processing based on the legal basis of Art. 6(1)(e) or (f) DSGVO on grounds relating to your particular situation. If personal data about you is processed by us for the purpose of direct marketing, you may object to such processing pursuant to Art. 21 (2) and (3) DSGVO.

II. data processing on our website

When you use the website, we collect information that you provide yourself. In addition, during your visit to the website, certain information about your use of the website is automatically collected by us. In data protection law, the IP address is also generally considered to be a personal data. An IP address is assigned to every device connected to the Internet by the Internet provider so that it can send and receive data.

1. contact options and inquiries

Our website contains contact forms through which you can send us messages. The transfer of your data is encrypted (recognizable by the "https" in the address line of the browser). All data fields marked as mandatory are required to process your request. Failure to provide this data will result in us not being able to process your request. The provision of further data is voluntary. Alternatively, you can send us a message via the contact e-mail. We process the data for the purpose of answering your inquiry.

If your request is directed towards the conclusion or performance of a contract with us, Art. 6 (1) b DSGVO is the legal basis for data processing. Otherwise, we process the data on the basis of our legitimate interest in contacting inquiring persons. The legal basis for the data processing is then Art. 6 para. 1 letter f DSGVO.

2. newsletter

We offer on our website the possibility to register for our newsletter. After registration, we will inform you regularly about the latest news on our offers. A valid e-mail address is required to register for the newsletter. To verify the e-mail address, you will first receive a registration e-mail, which you must confirm via a link (double opt-in). If you subscribe to the newsletter on our website, we process personal data such as your e-mail address and name based on the consent you have given. The processing is based on the legal basis of Art. 6 (1) a DSGVO. You can revoke the consent given at any time with effect for the future, for example via the "unsubscribe" link in the newsletter or by contacting us via the channels mentioned above. The legality of the data processing operations already carried out remains unaffected by the revocation.

When registering for the newsletter, we also store the IP address and the date and time of registration. The processing of this data is necessary in order to be able to prove that consent has been given. The legal basis arises from our legal obligation to document your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 letter c in conjunction with Art. 7 para. 1 DSGVO).

We also analyze the reading behavior and opening rates of our newsletter. On the one hand, we evaluate the data generated during the delivery and retrieval of our emails in aggregated and anonymized form (delivery rate, opening rate, click rates, unsubscribe rate, bounce rate, visits, completions) in order to measure the use and success of the emails. On the other hand, we also evaluate the data generated when you retrieve and use these e-mails (time of opening, hyperlinks clicked on, documents downloaded) as well as movement data on downstream websites on a personal basis in conjunction with your e-mail address in order to send you individualized information in the future on this basis as well, which takes your interests and needs into account in the best possible way. We use the anonymous and personal data collected to provide you with personalized content and individualized information in our promotional e-mails and downstream websites.

The legal basis for this analysis is Art. 6 (1) a DSGVO. You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future, for example via the "unsubscribe" link in the newsletter or by contacting us via the channels mentioned above. Please note that in this case you will also no longer receive our newsletter.

3. cookies

We use cookies and similar technologies ("cookies") on our website. Cookies are small data sets that are stored by your browser when you visit a website. This identifies the browser used and can be recognized by web servers. You have full control over the use of cookies through your browser. You can delete the cookies in the security settings of your browser at any time. You can object to the use of cookies through your browser settings in principle or for specific cases.

The use of cookies is partly technically necessary for the operation of our website and thus permissible without the consent of the user. In addition, we may use cookies to offer special features and content and for analysis and marketing purposes. These may also include cookies from third-party providers (so-called third party cookies). We only use such technically unnecessary cookies with your consent in accordance with Section 7 (2) DSG and, if applicable, Article 6 (1) a DSGVO. You can find information on the purposes, providers, technologies used, stored data and storage duration of individual cookies in the cookie settings of our Consent Management Tool. You will find the link at the bottom left of every page by means of the blue circle icon. Click on it and your cookie preferences will open.

4 Consent Management Tool

This website uses a Consent Management Tool to control cookies.

The Consent banner enables users of our website to give their consent to certain data processing procedures or to revoke a given consent. By confirming the "I accept" button or by saving individual cookie settings, you consent to the use of the associated cookies.

The legal basis under data protection law is your consent within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) a DSGVO.

In addition, the banner supports us in being able to provide evidence of the declaration of consent. For this purpose, we process information about the declaration of consent and further log data about this declaration. Cookies are also used to collect this data. The processing of this data is necessary in order to be able to prove that consent has been given. The legal basis arises from our legal obligation to document your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 letter c in conjunction with Art. 7 para. 1 DSGVO).

Here you can revoke your consent for cookies: You will find the link on the bottom left of every page by means of the blue-shaped circle icon. Click on it and your cookie preferences will open. Here you can revoke all cookies in total or individually.

5. analysis, tracking & retargeting

A.) Google Analytics

We use the Google Analytics service of the provider Google Ireland Limited (Google Ireland/EU) on our website.

Google Analytics is a web analytics service that allows us to collect and analyze data about the behavior of visitors to our website. Google Analytics uses cookies for this purpose, which enable an analysis of the use of our website. Personal data in the form of online identifiers (including cookie identifiers), IP addresses, device identifiers and information about interaction with our website are processed.

In part, this data is information stored in the terminal device you are using. In addition, further information is also stored on your used end device via the cookies used. Such storage of information by Google Analytics or access to information already stored in your end device will only take place with your consent.

Google Ireland will process the data collected in this way on our behalf in order to evaluate the use of our website by the user:inside, to compile reports on the activities within our website and to provide us with further services associated with the use of our website and Internet use. In doing so, pseudonymous usage profiles of the users can be created from the processed data.

The setting of cookies and the further processing of personal data described here takes place with your consent. The legal basis for the data processing in connection with the Google Analytics service is therefore Art. 6 (1) a DSGVO. You can revoke this consent via our Consent Management Tool at any time with effect for the future.

The personal data processed on our behalf to provide Google Analytics may be transferred to any country in which Google Ireland or Google Ireland's sub-processors maintain facilities. Please refer to the notes in the section "Data transfer to third countries".

We only use Google Analytics with IP anonymization activated. This means that the IP address of the user is shortened by Google Ireland within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. The IP address transmitted by the user's browser is not merged with other data. Further information on the use of data for advertising purposes can be found in Google's privacy policy at:www.google.com/policies/technologies/ads/.

We use the Google Analytics 4 variant, which allows us to track interaction data from different devices and from different sessions. This allows us to put individual user actions in context and analyze long-term relationships.

Data about user actions is stored for a period of 14 months and then automatically deleted. All other event data is stored for 2 months and then automatically deleted. In this process, the deletion of data whose storage period has expired takes place automatically once a month.[DSK1]

We have linked Google Analytics with the Google Optimize service. Google Optimize allows us to test, optimize and personalize different versions of our website with regard to the needs of our users.

We also use the Google Analytics advertising functions (remarketing). This function enables us, in conjunction with Google's cross-device functions, to display advertisements in a more targeted manner and to present users with ads that are tailored to their interests. Via remarketing, users are shown ads and products for which interest has been identified on other websites in the Google network. The function allows us to link advertising target groups created via Google Analytics Remarketing with the cross-device functions of Google Ads. In this way, interest-based, personalized advertising messages that have been adapted depending on previous usage and surfing behavior on one end device (e.g. cell phone) can also be displayed on another end device (e.g. tablet or PC).

If you have given your consent, Google will link your web and app browsing history with your Google account for this purpose. In this way, the same personalized advertising messages can be served on every end device on which you log in with your Google account. The aggregation of the collected data in your Google account is based solely on your consent, which you can give or revoke at Google. For these linked services, data is then collected via Google Analytics for advertising purposes. To support the remarketing function, Google Analytics collects users' google-authenticated IDs, which are temporarily linked to our Google Analytics data. This is used to define and create target groups for cross-device ad advertising.

[DSK1]The principles of storage limitation and data minimization from Art. 5 (1) DSGVO must be observed.

The storage period of 14 months is the lowest value that can be determined by default for the retention of user data.

This setting should be retained.

For the rest, a storage period of 2 months is to be set for all other event data.

In addition, the "Reset on new activity" option must be deactivated.

B.) Google Ads

We use the online advertising program Google Ads of Google Ireland Limited (Ireland, EU) on our website,through which we place advertisements on the Google search engine. If you access our website via a Google ad, Google sets a cookie on your terminal device ("conversion cookie"). In the process, a different conversion cookie is assigned to each Google Ads customer, so that the cookies are not tracked across the websites of different Ads customers. The information obtained with the help of the cookie is used to create conversion statistics. Thus, we learn the total number of user:s who clicked on one of our Google ads. However, we do not receive any information with which users can be personally identified.

The processing of your data is based on your consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) a DSGVO.

Cookies are set with your consent, which you can revoke at any time with future effect via Consent Management Tool. When using the service, a transfer of your data to the USA cannot be excluded. Please note the information in the section "Data transfer to third countries". Further information on data protection at Google can be found in Google's data protection information at https://policies.google.com/privacy#infocollect.

C.) Meta Pixel

We use Meta Pixel, a meta business tool provided by Meta Platforms Ireland Limited (Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd./EU), on our website. Information on the contact details of Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd. and the contact details of the data protection officer of Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd. can be found in the data policy of Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd. at https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy.....

The meta pixel is a JavaScript code snippet that allows us to track the activity of visitors to our website. This tracking is called conversion tracking. The meta pixel collects and processes the following information (so-called event data) for this purpose:

Information about actions and activities of the visitor:s of our website, such as searching and viewing a product or purchasing a product;
Specific pixel information such as the pixel ID and the Facebook cookie;
Information about buttons clicked by visitors to the website;
Information present in HTTP headers, such as IP addresses, web browser information, page location, and referrer;
Information about the status of disabling/restricting ad tracking.
In part, this event data is information stored in the device you are using. In addition, cookies are also used via the meta pixel, via which information is stored on your end device used. Such storage of information by the Facebook pixel or access to information that is already stored in your end device only takes place with your consent.

The event data collected via the meta pixel is used for targeting our ads and improving ad delivery on meta products such as the social media platforms Facebook and Instagram, for personalizing features and content, and for improving and securing the meta products. For this purpose, the event data collected on our website by means of the meta pixel is transmitted to Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd. This collection and transmission of event data is carried out by us and Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd. as jointly responsible parties. We have entered into a joint controller processing agreement with Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd. that sets forth the allocation of data protection obligations between us and Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd. In this agreement, we and Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd. have agreed, among other things, that we are responsible for providing you with all information pursuant to Art. 13, 14 GDPR regarding the joint processing of personal data;
that Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd. is responsible for enabling the rights of data subjects under Art. 15 to 20 of the GDPR with respect to personal data stored by Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd. after joint processing.
You can access the agreement concluded between us and Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd. at https://www.facebook.com/legal/controller_addendum.

Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd. is the sole responsible party for the subsequent processing of the submitted Event Data. For more information about how Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd. processes personal data, including the legal basis on which Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd. relies and how you can exercise your rights against Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd. please see Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd.'s Data Policy at https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy.

We have also engaged Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd. to prepare reports on the impact of our advertising campaigns and other online content based on the Event Data collected through the Meta Pixel (Campaign Reports) and to provide analysis and insights about User:s and their use of our website, products and services (Analytics). We transfer personal data contained in the Event Data to Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd. The transferred personal data is processed by Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd. as our processor to provide us with the campaign reports and analytics.

The collection and transmission of personal data by us to Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd. and the commissioned processing of personal data by Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd. to produce analyses and campaign reports will only take place if you have given your prior consent to this. The legal basis for the processing of personal data is therefore Art. 6 (1) a DSGVO.

The data processed on our behalf is transmitted by Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd. to Meta Platforms, Inc. in the USA. Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd. transfers the data to Meta Platforms, Inc. on the basis of processor-to-processor standard contractual clauses, but reserves the right to use an alternative transfer method recognized by the GDPR and other applicable data protection laws in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland.

D.) LinkedIn Insight Tag

We use the LinkedIn Insight Tag on our website, a marketing product of LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company (LinkedIn Ireland/EU). For information on the contact details of LinkedIn Ireland and the contact details of the data protection officer of LinkedIn Ireland, please refer to LinkedIn's data policy at https://www.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy.

The LinkedIn Insight tag is a JavaScript code snippet that is triggered by LinkedIn when you visit our website and stores a cookie on the device you are using. Such storage of information by the LinkedIn Insight tag or access to information already stored in your terminal device and also further processing of personal data in connection with the LinkedIn Insight tag will only take place with your consent. The legal basis for the collection and transmission of personal data by us to LinkedIn Ireland is therefore Art. 6 (1) a DSGVO.

Via the LinkedIn Insight tag, we can perform various functions, which we describe to you in detail below.

LinkedIn conversion tracking is an analytics function supported by the LinkedIn Insight tag. The LinkedIn Insight tag allows us to collect data about visits to our website, including URL, referrer URL, IP address, device and browser properties (user agent), and timestamp. IP addresses are shortened or (if used to reach members across devices) hashed. LinkedIn does not provide us with personally identifiable information, but only provides reports (in which you are not identified) on site audience and ad performance. This allows us to track the effectiveness of LinkedIn ads for statistical and market research purposes.

Members' direct identifiers are removed by LinkedIn within seven days to pseudonymize the data. LinkedIn then deletes this remaining pseudonymized data within 180 days.

This processing is done for the purpose of obtaining information about our website audience and a report on the effectiveness of LinkedIn campaigns.

We also use the Matched Audiences service to target our advertising campaigns to specific audiences. Through LinkedIn Matched Audiences and related data integrations, we can target advertising to specific audiences based on data we provide to LinkedIn (e.g., company lists, hashed contact information, device identifiers, or event data such as websites visited).

This processing is carried out for the purpose of marketing our offers via the targeted playout of advertising.

We have entered into a joint controller agreement with LinkedIn, which sets out the distribution of data protection obligations between us and LinkedIn. You can view this here: https://legal.linkedin.com/pages-joint-controller-addendum.

Please note that according to the LinkedIn Privacy Policy, personal data is also processed by LinkedIn in the U.S. or other third countries. LinkedIn only transfers personal data to countries for which an adequacy decision has been issued by the European Commission in accordance with Art. 45 DSGVO or on the basis of appropriate guarantees in accordance with Art. 46 DSGVO.

III. Data processing on our social media sites
