II. Rights of users and data subjects 

With regard to the data processing described in more detail below, users and data subjects have the right:

  • to confirmation as to whether data concerning them is being processed, to information about the data being processed, to further information about the data processing and to copies of the data (cf. also Art. 15 DSGVO);

In addition, the Provider is obliged to inform all recipients to whom data has been disclosed by the Provider about any correction or deletion of data or restriction of processing that takes place on the basis of Articles 16, 17 (1), 18 DSGVO. However, this obligation does not exist insofar as this notification is impossible or involves a disproportionate effort. Notwithstanding the above, the user has a right to information about these recipients. 

Likewise, users and data subjects have the right to object to the future processing of data concerning them in accordance with Art. 21 DSGVO, insofar as the data is processed by the provider in accordance with Art. 6 (1) f) DSGVO. In particular, an objection to data processing for the purpose of direct marketing is permitted. 

III. Information on data processing 

Your data processed during the use of our website will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of the storage no longer applies, the deletion of the data does not conflict with any statutory retention obligations and no other information on individual processing procedures is provided below. 

 

Server data 

For technical reasons, in particular to ensure a secure and stable Internet presence, data is transmitted by your Internet browser to us or to our web space provider. With these so-called server log files, among other things, the type and version of your Internet browser, the operating system, the website from which you have accessed our website (referrer URL), the website(s) of our website that you visit, the date and time of the respective access and the IP address of the Internet connection from which the use of our website takes place are collected. 
The data collected in this way is temporarily stored, but not together with other data from you. 
This storage takes place on the legal basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) DSGVO. Our legitimate interest lies in the improvement, stability, functionality and security of our website. 
The data will be deleted again after seven days at the latest, unless further storage is required for evidentiary purposes. Otherwise, the data is exempt from deletion in whole or in part until final clarification of an incident. 

 
Cookies 

a) Session cookies/session cookies 

We use so-called cookies with our internet presence. Cookies are small text files or other storage technologies that are placed and stored on your end device by the Internet browser you use. Through these cookies, certain information from you, such as your browser or location data or your IP address, is processed to an individual extent. 
This processing makes our website more user-friendly, effective and secure, as the processing enables, for example, the reproduction of our website in different languages or the offer of a shopping cart function. 
The legal basis for this processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit b.) DSGVO, insofar as these cookies data are processed for contract initiation or contract execution. 
If the processing does not serve the initiation or execution of a contract, our legitimate interest lies in improving the functionality of our website. The legal basis is then Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) DSGVO. 
When you close your Internet browser, these session cookies are deleted.

b) Third-party cookies 

Where applicable, cookies from partner companies with which we cooperate for the purpose of advertising, analysis or the functionalities of our website are also used with our website. 
The details of this, in particular the purposes and legal bases of the processing of such third-party cookies, please refer to the following information. 

Change cookie selection

c) Elimination possibility 

You can prevent or restrict the installation of cookies by setting your internet browser. Likewise, you can delete already stored cookies at any time. However, the steps and measures required for this depend on your specific Internet browser used. If you have any questions, please use the help function or documentation of your Internet browser or contact its manufacturer or support. In the case of so-called Flash cookies, however, processing cannot be prevented via the browser settings. Instead, you must change the settings of your Flash player. The steps and measures required for this also depend on the specific Flash player you use. If you have any questions, please also use the help function or documentation of your Flash player or contact the manufacturer or user support. 
However, if you prevent or restrict the installation of cookies, this may mean that not all functions of our website can be fully used.  

 
Contact requests / contact possibility 

If you contact us via contact form or e-mail, the data you provide will be used to process your request. The provision of the data is necessary for processing and answering your request - without their provision, we can not answer your request or at best limited. 
The legal basis for this processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b) DSGVO. 
Your data will be deleted if your inquiry has been answered conclusively and the deletion does not conflict with any legal obligations to retain data, e.g. in the case of subsequent contract processing. 

 
YouTube 

We maintain an online presence on YouTube to present our company and our services and to communicate with customers/prospects. YouTube is a service of Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, a subsidiary of Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043 USA. 
In this respect, we would like to point out that there is a possibility that user data may be processed outside the European Union, in particular in the USA. This may pose increased risks for users in that, for example, it may be more difficult to access the user data at a later date. We also do not have access to this user data. The access possibility lies exclusively with YouTube. Google LLC is certified under the Privacy Shield and has thus undertaken to comply with European data protection standards.

Linking social media via graphic or text link 

We also promote presences on the social networks listed below on our website. The integration takes place via a linked graphic of the respective network. The use of this linked graphic prevents the automatic establishment of a connection to the respective server of the social network when a website with a social media advertisement is called up in order to display a graphic of the respective network itself. Only by clicking on the corresponding graphic will the user be redirected to the service of the respective social network. 

After the user has been forwarded, information about the user is collected by the respective network. It cannot be ruled out that the data collected in this way is processed in the USA. 
This is initially data such as IP address, date, time and page visited. If the user is logged into his user account of the respective network during this time, the network operator may be able to assign the collected information of the specific visit of the user to the personal account of the user. If the user interacts via a "Share" button of the respective network, this information can be stored in the user's personal user account and may be published. If the user wants to prevent the collected information from being directly assigned to his user account, he must log out before clicking on the graphic. In addition, it is possible to configure the respective user account accordingly. 

The following social networks are integrated into our site by linking:

Google Ads with Remarketing Pixel

We used Google Ads on our website, an online service that enables the placement of advertisements on third-party sites, which is operated by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland ("Google"), a subsidiary of Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.

Google Ads is based on an algorithm that selects the advertisements displayed on our website to match our content. Google Ads allows an interest-based targeting of all visitors, which is done by creating individual user profiles. Google uses cookies for this purpose. By each individual call of a page of our website on which a component of Google Ads has been integrated, your browser on your end device is automatically caused to transmit data to Google Ads for the purpose of online advertising and the settlement of commissions. In this way, Google obtains knowledge of personal data that Google uses to determine the type of advertising to be played and to be able to track the clicks on this advertising. Among other things, Google can recognize that you have clicked on the advertising on this website.

Google also uses tracking pixels, a miniature graphic that is embedded in websites, to enable log file recording and log file analysis, whereby a statistical evaluation can be performed. Based on the embedded tracking pixel, Google can see if and when a website was opened and which links were clicked. We only learn the total number of users who clicked on our ad and were redirected to a page tagged with a conversion tracking tag. However, we do not receive any information that can be used to identify users personally.

The legal basis for the processing of personal data is Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. a DSGVO if you have given your consent.

You can give your consent via our cookie banner and revoke it in the settings at any time with effect for the future.

Google Analytics 

We use Google Analytics on our website. This is a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, hereinafter referred to as "Google". 
Through certification under the EU-US Privacy Shield ("EU-US Privacy Shield"). https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt000000001L5AAI&status=Active 

Google guarantees that the data protection requirements of the EU are also complied with when processing data in the USA. 

The Google Analytics service is used to analyze the usage behavior of our website. The legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) DSGVO. Our legitimate interest lies in the analysis, optimization and economic operation of our website. 

Usage and user-related information, such as IP address, location, time or frequency of visits to our website, is transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. However, we use Google Analytics with the so-called anonymization function. This function allows Google to truncate the IP address within the EU or EEA. 

The data collected in this way is in turn used by Google to provide us with an evaluation of the visit to our website and the usage activities there. This data may also be used to provide other services related to the use of our website and the use of the Internet. 

Google states that it does not associate your IP address with any other data. In addition, Google keeps under 
https://www.google.com/intl/de/policies/privacy/partners 

The data protection information is available to you on our website, including information on how to prevent the use of your data. 
In addition, Google offers under 

https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de 
offers a so-called deactivation add-on together with further information on this. This add-on can be installed with the most common Internet browsers and offers you further control over the data that Google collects when you visit our website. The add-on tells the JavaScript (ga.js) of Google Analytics that information about the visit to our website should not be transmitted to Google Analytics. However, this does not prevent information from being transmitted to us or to other web analytics services. If and which other web analytics services are used by us, you will of course also find out in this privacy policy.

 

Google Tag Manager

We use the Google Tag Manager, of Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland ("Google"), a subsidiary of Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.

The Google Tag Manager combines most tracking pixels and scripts so that you as a user can load our website faster. The Google Tag Manager is a solution with which we can manage so-called website tags via an interface and thus integrate, for example, Google Analytics and other Google marketing services into our online offer. Which data is processed within the scope of the other Google services can be found in the information in this privacy policy. Google only learns your IP address, which is necessary to run the Google Tag Manager. However, no personal data of yours is processed.

For more information on Google Tag Manager, please refer to the Tag Manager Terms of Use https://www.google.com/intl/de/tagmanager/use-policy.html.

 

Google reCAPTCHA 

We use Google reCAPTCHA on our website to check and prevent interactions on our website by automated access, e.g. by so-called bots. This is a service of Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, hereinafter referred to as "Google". 
Through certification under the EU-US Privacy Shield ("EU-US Privacy Shield"). 
https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt000000001L5AAI&status=Active 
Google guarantees that the data protection requirements of the EU are also complied with when processing data in the USA. 

Through this service, Google can determine from which website a request is sent as well as from which IP address you use the so-called reCAPTCHA input box. In addition to your IP address, Google may also collect other information that is necessary for offering and guaranteeing this service. 
The legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) DSGVO. Our legitimate interest lies in the security of our website and in the defense against unwanted, automated access in the form of spam or similar. 
Google offers under: https://policies.google.com/privacy

Google fonts

We use external web fonts such as Google Fonts to display texts in different fonts. For this purpose, a connection to the respective web font provider is established and personal data such as IP address and other device data is transmitted to it. The web font provider uses the data exclusively to display the fonts and analyze their popularity. The legal basis is legitimate interests (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) DSGVO). We have a legitimate interest in displaying content on our website in a consistent manner and in an appropriate loading time.

 

HubSpot

We use HubSpot on our websites, a service of HubSpot Inc, a software company from the USA with a European branch under HubSpot, 2nd Floor 30 North Wall Quay, Dublin 1, Ireland ("HubSpot").

We use HubSpot to contact users of our website and to determine which of our company's services are of interest to you. We therefore use HubSpot for analysis purposes as well as for marketing purposes.

The legal basis for the processing of personal data is Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. a DSGVO if you have given your consent.

YouTube 

We use YouTube on our website. This is a video portal of YouTube LLC, 901 Cherry Ave, 94066 San Bruno, CA, USA, hereinafter referred to as "YouTube". 
YouTube is a subsidiary of Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, hereinafter referred to as "Google". 
Through certification under the EU-US Privacy Shield ("EU-US Privacy Shield"). 
https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt000000001L5AAI&status=Active 
Google, and thus also its subsidiary YouTube, guarantees that the data protection requirements of the EU are also complied with when processing data in the USA. We use YouTube in connection with the "Enhanced Privacy Mode" function to show you videos. The legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) DSGVO. Our legitimate interest lies in improving the quality of our website. According to YouTube, the "enhanced data protection mode" function means that the data described in more detail below is only transmitted to the YouTube server when you actually start a video. 
Without this "Enhanced Privacy", a connection to the YouTube server in the USA is established as soon as you call up one of our Internet pages on which a YouTube video is embedded. 
This connection is necessary in order to display the respective video on our website via your internet browser. In the course of this, YouTube will at least record and process your IP address, the date and time, and the website you visited. In addition, a connection to Google's advertising network "DoubleClick" is established. 
If you are logged into YouTube at the same time, YouTube will assign the connection information to your YouTube account. If you want to prevent this, you must either log out of YouTube before visiting our website or make the appropriate settings in your YouTube user account. 
For the purpose of functionality as well as for the analysis of user behavior, YouTube permanently stores cookies on your end device via your internet browser. If you do not agree with this processing, you have the option to prevent the storage of cookies by a setting in your Internet browser. You can find more information on this above under "Cookies". 
Google provides further information on the collection and use of data as well as your rights and protection options in this regard in the information available at
