1 | Data Processing

1.1 Scope of Personal Data Processing

We only process personal data of our users insofar as necessary for providing a functional website and our content and services. We only process personal data of our users with their consent. Exceptions only apply where prior consent cannot be obtained for objective reasons and data processing is permitted by law.

1.2 Legal Basis for Personal Data Processing

If we obtain the data subject’s consent to processing his or her personal data, Art. 6(1)(a) of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) will serve as the legal basis for processing personal data.

When processing personal data necessary for performance of a contract to which the data subject is party, Art. 6(1)(b) of the GDPR will serve as the legal basis. This also applies to processing necessary for steps prior to entering into a contract.

Where processing personal data is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which we are subject, Art. 6(1)(c) of the GDPR will serve as the legal basis.

If processing personal data is necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or of another natural person, Art. 6(1)(d) of the GDPR will serve as the legal basis.

If processing is necessary for the purposes of legitimate interests of ours or of a third party and these interests are not overridden by the interests, fundamental rights or freedoms of the data subject, Art. 6(1)(f) of the GDPR will serve as the legal basis for processing.

1.3 Data Erasure and Storage Period

The data subject’s personal data will be erased or blocked when the purpose for its storage no longer applies. Furthermore, personal data may be stored if required by European or national legislature in EU regulations, laws or other provisions to which the controller is subject. Personal data will also be blocked or erased if a storage period required by one of the specified provisions expires, unless the data must continue to be stored for contract conclusion or performance.

The tracking measures listed below and used by us are carried out on the basis of Art. 6 (1)(f) of the GDPR. With the tracking measures used, we want to ensure a needs-based design and continuous optimization of our website. On the other hand, we use the tracking measures to statistically record the use of our website and to evaluate it for the purpose of optimizing our offer for you. These interests are to be regarded as legitimate within the meaning of the aforementioned regulation.

The respective data processing purposes and data categories can be found in the corresponding tracking tools.

11.1 Google Analytics

11.1.1 Description and Scope of Data Processing

We use Google Analytics from Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, as an analysis service for the statistical evaluation of our online offer. This includes, for example, the number of views of our online offer, visited subpages and the length of stay of visitors.

Google Analytics uses cookies and other browser technologies to evaluate user behavior and recognize users. This information is used, among other things, to compile reports on website activity.

The following data is transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there such as:

Date and time of access
Display of the browser used
Display of the operating system used and type of terminal device
Display of the country code from which the access is made
Average time spent on the website
Referrer URL (the previously visited page)
Time of the server request

11.1.2 Purpose and legal basis

The use of the service is based on your consent pursuant to Art. 6 (1)(a) of the GDPR and § 25 (1) TTDPA.

11.1.3 Storage Period

The concrete storage period of the processed data cannot be influenced by us, but is determined by Google Ireland Limited. Further information can be found in the privacy policy for Google Analytics: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en-US.

You may refuse the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser, however please note that if you do this you may not be able to use the full functionality of this website.

11.2 Google Conversion Tracking

In order to statistically record the use of our website and to evaluate it for the purpose of optimizing our website for you, we also use Google Conversion Tracking. In this process, Google Adwords sets a cookie (see section 3) on your computer if you have accessed our website via a Google ad.

These cookies lose their validity after thirty (30) days and are not used for personal identification. If the user visits certain pages of the Adwords customer's website and the cookie has not yet expired, Google and the customer can recognize that the user clicked on the ad and was redirected to this page.

Each Adwords customer receives a different cookie. Cookies can therefore not be tracked across Adwords customers' websites. The information obtained using the conversion cookie is used to create conversion statistics for Adwords customers who have opted in to conversion tracking. Adwords customers learn the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a page tagged with a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not receive any information that can be used to personally identify users.

If you do not wish to participate in the tracking process, you can also refuse the setting of a cookie required for this - for example via a browser setting that generally disables the automatic setting of cookies. You can also disable cookies for conversion tracking by setting your browser to block cookies from the "www.googleadservices.com" domain. Google's privacy policy on conversion tracking can be found here: https://services.google.com/sitestats/en.html.

11.3 Google Web Fonts

Our website uses Google Webfonts for the uniform display of fonts. Google Webfonts is a service of Google Inc. The web fonts are transferred to the browser's cache when the page is called up so that they can be used for display. For this purpose, the browser you are using connects to Google's servers. Google is informed that our website has been accessed via your IP address. If your browser does not support the web fonts or the use is prevented, you will get the text displayed in a standard font.

The legal basis is Art. 6 (1)(f) of the GDPR and is in the interest of visitors to provide a consistent and appealing presentation and ease of use of the website. You can find more information about Google Web Fonts at the following link: https://developers.google.com/fonts/faq?hl=en

You can access and read Google's privacy policy using the following link: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en-US

11.4 Google Tag Manager

Our website uses the Google Tag Manager. Through this service, website tags can be managed via an interface. The Google Tag Manager only implements tags. This means that no cookies are used and no personal data is collected. The Google Tag Manager triggers other tags, which in turn may collect data. However, the Google Tag Manager does not access this data. If a deactivation has been made at domain or cookie level, it remains in place for all tracking tags, insofar as these are implemented with the Google Tag Manager.

11.5 HubSpot Ireland ltd.

This website uses HubSpot, a service provided by HubSpot Inc, a software provider based in the USA with a branch office in Ireland (HubSpot Inc, 2nd Floor 30 North Wall Quay, Dublin 1, Ireland, Phone: +353 1 5187500), which we use to cover various aspects of our online marketing. These include:

Content management (e.g. website content)
Email marketing (newsletters as well as automated mailings, e.g. to inform about updates)
Social media publishing & reporting (e.g. LinkedIn)
Reporting (e.g. traffic sources, hits, etc. ...)
Contact management (e.g. user segmentation & CRM)
Provision of landing pages and contact forms

HubSpot uses so-called "web beacons" and also "cookies", which are stored on your computer and which enable an analysis of your use of the website by us. HubSpot evaluates the collected information (e.g. IP address, geographical location, type of browser, duration of the visit and pages viewed) on our behalf to generate reports about the visit and the pages you visited. If you generally do not want cookies to be collected, you can prevent cookies from being stored at any time by changing your browser settings accordingly.

The data we collect using HubSpot is used by us exclusively to provide and optimize our marketing. Your data can then be used by us to contact you as a visitor to our website and to determine which of our company's services are of interest to you. If you subscribe to our newsletter and download studies and other documents, we can also use HubSpot to record your visits on a personal basis via your additional details (especially name/email address) and, if necessary, provide you with targeted information on topics you prefer.

With the help of HubSpot, we also provide our sign-up service. The login service allows you, as a visitor to our website, to learn more about our company, download content, and provide us with your contact information and other information about yourself and your company. Where required by law, we will ask you beforehand and separately for your consent to the collection, storage and processing of your data.

11.6 LinkedIn Insight Tag

Our website uses LinkedIn Insight Tag of LinkedIn Corporation, 2029 Stierlin Court, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. When you call up our websites that contain LinkedIn functions, a connection is established to LinkedIn servers. LinkedIn is notified that you have visited our website with your IP address. The IP address is encrypted and anonymized within seven (7) days and the anonymized data is deleted within ninety (90) days. LinkedIn Insight Tag enables us to present information to you on other websites as well. In addition, LinkedIn Insight Tag allows us to analyze the success of campaigns on LinkedIn or determine target groups for them based on the interaction of users with our online offering. If you are registered with LinkedIn, it is possible for LinkedIn to associate your use of our website with your user account. You can find the privacy policy of LinkedIn here: https://www.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy.

The legal basis is Art. 6 (1)(f) GDPR to evaluate the use of the website and display personalized advertising.

11.7 Objection and Erasure

As a user, you have the option to cancel the registration at any time. At any time, the data stored about you can be changed. If the data is required for the fulfillment of a contract or for the implementation of pre-contractual measures, early deletion of the data is only possible insofar as contractual or legal obligations do not prevent deletion.

12 | External Links to websites of other Providers/Social Plugins

Our websites contain external links to other sites that link to the respective website. The external links are highlighted in color and marked accordingly with the following symbol:

If you click on external links or social plugins, we point out that this is outside our responsibility and that these sites follow their own privacy policies. We assume no responsibility or liability for this. Therefore, please check whether you agree to this privacy policy before voluntarily providing your data to external websites.

Your data will only be transferred to the link destination when you click on the external link.
The following data, among others, will then be transferred for technically necessary reasons:

IP-Adress
Time of the click on the link
the page of the clicked link and others

Please also note that the data may be transferred to third countries, i.e. a transfer to another service provider and in this case to a company in the USA, for example. According to a recent ruling of the European Court of Justice (ECJ), there is no adequate level of data protection in insecure third countries and thus a risk to the protection of your data. Here, the data may possibly be used for control and monitoring purposes.

If you do not want this, do not click on the link. If you still want to use the link destination, click on the external link and your data will be transferred to the link destination accordingly.

13 | Social Plugins

We also use so-called social plugins (buttons) that link to the respective social media platform (Facebook, LinkedIn, Xing, Instagram, YouTube). The social plugins are marked as follows:

Social plugins remain active after clicking on them until you deactivate them again and/or delete associated cookies (see section "Cookies and IP addresses" above). As soon as you have activated a button, a direct connection to the server of the social network is established and content is exchanged between the button and the social network. We have no influence on the type and amount of data that is transmitted to the social networks after activation of the buttons.

Please read the data protection and privacy policies of the respective social network. If you are registered and logged in to a social network, your visit to our website may be linked to your user account on the social network as soon as you click the button. If you do not want this information to be linked to your user account with the social network, first log out of the network before using the button on our website.

If you click on social plugins, we point out that this is outside our responsibility and that these sites follow their own privacy policies. We assume no responsibility or liability for this. So please check whether you agree to these privacy policies before voluntarily sharing your data with external websites.

If you do not want this, do not click on the link. If you still want to use the link destination, click on the external link and your data will be transferred to the link destination accordingly.

14 | Google Maps

We use Google Maps on our website to display interactive maps for the purpose of showing location and assisting with route planning.

The widget will be activated only after your consent.

Google Maps is a mapping service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland ("Google").

Among other things, the following data is transmitted:

Date and time of the visit to the webpage in question,
Internet address or URL of the website called up,
IP address, address entered as part of route planning (start).

The transmission of the data takes place regardless of whether you are logged in via a Google user account or not. If you are logged in to Google as a user, your data will be directly assigned to your account. If this is not desired, you must log out before activating the card.
