If you visit our website, your web browser communicates with our web server to provide the requested pages and content. Therefore, the following information is collected and stored automatically in so-called server log files:

  • type and version of web browser and operating system
  • Referrer URL (visited page)
  • Target URL (requested page)
  • IP address and hostname of the accessing device
  • timestamp of the request

This website is hosted externally by Amazon Web Services. The location of the Cloud-Server ist Ireland. The personal data collected on this website is stored on the hoster's servers. A data processing agreement has been concluded with the external service provider to ensure data protection-compliant processing.

 

Purpose and legal basis

The server log files are processed for the purpose of providing the website on the basis of our overriding legitimate interests pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. The legitimate interests pursued by us, are to ensure a secure, technically error free and comprehensible operation of our website.

 

As the processing of the data in the server log files is essential to operate the website, we demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms in case you claim the right to object according to Art. 21 (1) GDPR.

 

Storage period

The server log files will be stored for 90 days and then deleted automatically.

 

 

3.2 Cookies and local storage

 

Cookies are small text files which are stored locally in your web browser and do not cause any damage to your device. Alternatively, your web browser provides a local storage to store small sizes of information. Cookies and local storage are storage technologies (“web technologies”), provided by your browser.

 

Web technologies could be used temporarily to store data for the duration of a session (“session cookies”, “session storage”) or permanently to archive data on your device until you or your browser actively delete them (“persistent cookies”, “local storage”).

 

In some cases, the web technologies are not set by our web server directly than by another server (“third party cookies”), to enable you or us to take advantage of certain services offered by the third party.

 

Purpose and legal basis

We use technically essential cookies or local storage for the purpose of providing certain website features on the basis of our overriding legitimate interests pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. The legitimate interests pursued by us or a third party, are to provide essential website features which would not work in the absence of those web technologies.

 

As the processing of the data in the technically essential cookies or local storage is necessary to operate the website, we demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms in case you claim the right to object according to Art. 21 (1) GDPR.

 

Additionally, we use technical essential cookies for the storage of your consent to the use of technically non-essential cookies (cookie consent) for the purpose of demonstration of compliance with the GDPR pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (c) GDPR.

 

We use technically non-essential cookies or local storage for analytics, marketing or functional purposes on the basis of your prior consent pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR. Your consent will be obtained via the cookie banner if you accept all cookies or if you select your preferences. You have the right to withdraw your consent at any time with future effect, by changing your preferences in the cookie settings.

 

Independently from any setting on this website, you can control the use of web technologies with your browser settings at any time. Please be aware, that the use of our website could be restricted, in case we are not able to use technically essential cookies or local storage.

 

Storage period

More detailed information about the specific usage of cookies and third-party services, including the storage periods, we provide in the overview at the bottom of the page.

 

 

3.3 Cookie Banner

 

The processing is carried out for the purpose of obtaining, managing and proving your consent to the use of non-essential cookies and web services on the basis of an overriding legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. Our legitimate interests are the verifiability of compliance with legal requirements pursuant to Art. 5 para. 2 GDPR and the assertion, exercise and defence of legal claims.

 

When you visit our websites, you can give or subsequently change your consent to the web services via an additional interface (Consent Manager). We process pseudonymous information (e.g. IP address, time stamp) via the cookie banner and store your consent in your browser (cookie / local storage) to ensure that only those services are used to which you have consented.

 

The storage of information in your end device or access to information stored there is absolutely necessary in these cases in order to provide you with the expressly requested digital service.

We show you an overview of the cookies and website services managed at the bottom of this page ‘Cookie settings’.

 

 

3.4 Webservices

The processing is carried out for the purpose of statistically analysing the interaction of website visitors, for the integration of content from other websites and for advertising purposes and marketing activities on the basis of your consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. In accordance with Art. 7 para. 3 GDPR, you have the right to revoke any consent you have given for the processing of your personal data at any time with effect for the future. The lawfulness of processing based on your consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR or Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a GDPR remains unaffected until you withdraw your consent.

 

If you give us your consent to individual or all web services via the cookie banner, we collect pseudonymous information (e.g. IP address, timestamp) and store it in your browser (cookie / local storage). The third-party providers we use then receive access to this data in order to provide the desired web services.

In these cases, the storage of information in your end device or access to information stored there is based on your consent in accordance with Section 25 (1) TDDDG.

You are neither legally nor contractually obliged to provide this data. It is generally possible to visit our website without providing this information.

We use the following web services depending on the category (analytical, marketing, functional) in the cookie banner:

 

 

3.4.1 Google Fonts

 

We use Google Fonts on our website. Google Fonts are provided by Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

 

The integration of these web fonts takes place through a server call, usually a Google server in the USA. This transmits to the server which of our Internet pages you have visited. Also, the IP address of the browser of the end device of the visitor of these Internet pages is stored by Google.

 

The transfer of personal data to the USA is based on the adequacy decision (Data Privacy Framework)

 

The legal basis for the use of Google Fonts is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR.

 

3.4.2 Use of Google reCAPTCHA

 

Google reCAPTCHA is provided by Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland and it is used to distinguish whether the input is made by a human or abused by automated, machine processing. The query includes sending the IP address and possibly other data required by Google for the reCAPTCHA service to Google. For this purpose, your input is transmitted to Google and used there further.

 

Google collects and processes the following data:

- IP-Address

- operating system

- Browser Information

- location and usage data

 

The legal basis for the use of google reCAPTCHA is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR.

You must accept to activate Google reCAPTCHA in order to send us a message via the contact form. Alternatively, you can send us an email directly from your email account.

 

3.4.3 Google Maps

 

We integrated content from Google Maps ("Google"). Google Maps is provided by Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. By visiting a sub-page of our website on which Google Maps is integrated, data about your behavior when using Google Maps is transmitted to Google and processed by Google.

 

The processing and transmission to Google does not take place automatically, but exclusively through active clicking by the user. Only through this conscious use, data about your behavior when using Google Maps is transmitted to Google and processed by Google. Google thereby receives, for example, the information that you have called up the corresponding sub-page of our website.

 

The data processed by Google may include, in particular, your IP address and location data, which, however, are not collected without consent (usually completed as part of the settings of your mobile devices).

 

Google processes this data as usage profiles and uses it for the purpose of market research and/or demand-oriented design of Google Maps. If you are a Google customer and logged in to a Google service, this data is directly linked to your Google account. If you do not wish this, you must log out of Google before visiting our website.

 

The processing of the data is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR.

 

The provision of personal data is neither required by law nor by contract, nor is it necessary for the conclusion of a contract. You are also not obliged to provide the personal data. However, failure to provide it would possibly result in you not being able to use our website or not being able to use it to its full extent.

 

3.4.4 Google Tag Manager

 

Google Tag Manager is a solution that allows marketers to manage web page tags through a single interface. The ‘Tag Manager’ tool itself, which implements the tags, is a cookie-less domain and does not collect any personal data. The tool triggers other tags, which in turn may collect data under certain circumstances. The “Google Tag Manager” does not access this data. If deactivation occurs at domain or cookie level, it remains in use for all tracking tags, insofar as they are implemented with “Google Tag Manager”. For more information, see: https://marketingplatform.google.com/about/analytics/tag-manager/use-policy/ .

 

3.4.5 Meta Pixel

This website uses the visitor action pixel from Meta to measure conversions. The provider of this service is Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Dublin 2, Ireland.

This allows the behaviour of site visitors to be tracked after they have been redirected to the provider's website by clicking on a Facebook ad. This allows the effectiveness of Facebook ads to be evaluated for statistical and market research purposes and future advertising measures to be optimised.

The data collected is anonymous for us as the operator of this website; we cannot draw any conclusions about the identity of the users. However, the data is stored and processed by Meta so that a connection to the respective user profile is possible and Meta can use the data for its own advertising purposes in accordance with the Meta Data Usage Policy (https://de-de.facebook.com/about/privacy/). This enables Meta to place adverts on Facebook pages and outside of Facebook. This use of the data cannot be influenced by us as the site operator.

The use of this service is based on your consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. You can revoke your consent at any time.

Insofar as personal data is collected on our website with the help of the tool described here and forwarded to Meta, we and Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland are jointly responsible for this data processing in accordance with Art. 26 GDPR.  The joint responsibility is limited exclusively to the collection of the data and its transfer to Meta. The processing carried out by Meta after forwarding is not part of the joint responsibility. The obligations incumbent on us jointly have been set out in an agreement on joint processing.

The text of the agreement can be found at: https://www.facebook.com/legal/controller_addendum. According to this agreement, we are responsible for providing the data protection information when using the Meta tool and for the secure implementation of the tool on our website in accordance with data protection law.

Meta is certified according to the ‘EU-US Data Privacy Framework’ (DPF). The DPF is an agreement between the European Union and the USA that is intended to ensure compliance with European data protection standards for data processing in the USA. Every company certified in accordance with the DPF undertakes to comply with these data protection standards.

 

3.4.6 DoubleClick

This website contains components of DoubleClick, provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (Google). DoubleClick transfers your data to the DoubleClick server with each impression as well as with clicks or other activities. Each of these data transfers triggers a cookie request to your browser. If the browser accepts this request, DoubleClick places a cookie on your IT system.  The cookie is used, among other things, to place and display user-relevant adverts and to create reports on advertising campaigns or to improve them. The cookie is also used to avoid multiple displays of the same adverts.

Each time you access one of the individual pages of this website, which is operated by us and on which a DoubleClick component has been integrated, the Internet browser on your IT system is prompted by the respective DoubleClick component to transmit data to Google for the purpose of online advertising and billing of commissions. As part of this technical process, Google obtains knowledge of data that Google also uses to create commission statements.  A DoubleClick cookie does not contain any personal data. However, a DoubleClick cookie may contain additional pseudonymised identification numbers. Among other things, Google can recognise that you have clicked on certain links on our website.

These processing operations are only carried out if express consent is given in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR and § 25 para. 1 TDDDG. Consent can be revoked at any time.

The parent company Google LLC is certified as a US company under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework. This constitutes an adequacy decision pursuant to Art. 45 GDPR, meaning that personal data may be transferred without further guarantees or additional measures.

You can view the data protection provisions of DoubleClick by Google at: https://www.google.com/intl/de/policies/.

 

3.4.7 Google Ads

The website operator uses Google Ads. Google Ads is an online advertising programme of Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. Google Ads enables us to display adverts in the Google search engine or on third-party websites when the user enters certain search terms into Google (keyword targeting). Furthermore, targeted adverts can be displayed based on the user data available at Google (e.g. location data and interests) (target group targeting). As the website operator, we can evaluate this data quantitatively by analysing, for example, which search terms led to the display of our ads and how many ads led to corresponding clicks.

 

Google places a cookie on the website to measure the Ads campaign. This cookie reads and stores the IP address and the interactions of users who have come to the company's website via an advert.

The use of this service is based on your consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR and § 25 para. 1 TDDDG. Consent can be revoked at any time. We have concluded an order processing contract with Google.

Your data will also be transferred to Google's parent company in the United States. The transfer of personal data to Google takes place on the basis of the adequacy decision (‘Data Privacy Framework’).

 

3.4.8 Google Analytics

 

This website uses Google Analytics , a service of Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland (‘Google’), a subsidiary of Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043, USA, with which the use of websites can be analysed.

In this context, pseudonymised user profiles are created and cookies are used. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website may include, but is not limited to, a temporary collection of the IP address without permanent storage, location data, browser type/version, operating system used, referrer URL (previously visited page) and time of the server request.

The pseudonymised data is transmitted by Google to a server in the USA and stored there. The information is used to analyse the use of the website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide other services relating to website activity and internet usage for the purposes of market research and the needs-based design of this website.

These processing operations are only carried out if express consent is given in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR.

The maximum lifespan of Google Analytics cookies is 2 years. Data whose retention period has been reached is automatically deleted once a month. The data collected as part of the use of Google Analytics 4 is stored for 2 months and then deleted.

 

The parent company Google LLC is certified as a US company under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework. This constitutes an adequacy decision pursuant to Art. 45 GDPR, meaning that personal data may be transferred without further guarantees or additional measures. We have concluded an order processing contract with Google for our use of Google Analytics 4, which obliges Google to protect the data of our website users and not to pass it on to third parties.

Further information on data protection when using GA4 can be found at: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/12017362?hl=de  .

 

3.4.9 Google Photos

We use the Google Photos service provided by Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA, to store images that are embedded on our website. Embedding is the integration of specific third-party content (text, video or image data) that is provided by another website (Google Photos) and then appears on our own website (our website). An embed code is used for embedding. If we have integrated an embed code, the external content from Google Photos is displayed immediately by default as soon as one of our web pages is visited.

 

Your IP address is transmitted to Google Photos via the technical implementation of the embed code, which enables the images from Google Photos to be displayed. Google Photos also records our website, the type of browser used, the browser language, the time and length of access. In addition, Google Photos may collect information about which of our subpages you have visited and which links you have clicked on, as well as other interactions you have carried out when visiting our site. This data may be stored and analysed by Google Photos.

These processing operations are only carried out with express consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR.

Google is certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework. This constitutes an adequacy decision pursuant to Art. 45 GDPR, meaning that personal data may also be transferred without further guarantees or additional measures.

You can view Google's privacy policy at: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/.

 

3.4.10 YouTube Images

Videos from YouTube and YouTube plug-ins are integrated on our website. The provider of the ‘YouTube Images’ service is YouTube LLC, which is a subsidiary of Google Ireland Limited (‘Google’). When you access a website in which a YouTube video is embedded, data is transmitted to a Google server and stored there.

This does not happen automatically, but only when the user actively clicks on the video. Only through this conscious application is data about the behaviour when using YouTube transmitted to Google and processed by Google.

If you have a user account with Google and are registered, Google can assign the visit to your user account. Google stores this data as user profiles and uses it for the purposes of advertising, market research and/or customising its websites. Such an analysis is carried out in particular (even for users who are not logged in) to display customised advertising and to inform other users of the social network about their activities on our website. You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles. Please contact Google directly for this purpose.

By integrating YouTube, we are pursuing the purpose of being able to present various videos to you on our website. You should be able to watch the videos directly on our website. The data is processed on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. This serves our company as the legal basis for processing operations for which we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose.

 

The provision of personal data is not required by law or contract and is not necessary for the conclusion of a contract. You are also not obliged to provide the personal data. Failure to provide this data may mean that you cannot use our website or cannot use it to its full extent.

 

If you wish to prevent the transfer of data, you cannot use this YouTube function. Irrespective of this, we recommend that you regularly log out of your user account after using a social network, especially before activating integrated content, as this will prevent you from being assigned to your profile with the respective provider.

Google is certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework. This constitutes an adequacy decision pursuant to Art. 45 GDPR, meaning that personal data may be transferred without further guarantees or additional measures.

 

 

3.5 Enquiries by e-mail, contact form and telephone

 

You may contact us via email, phone or by using contact form. In any case, we only collect personal data directly from you which is necessary to handle your request. If you use a contact form provided by us, we collect the data you enter, but at least the information marked as mandatory. The transmission to the web server is encrypted via https (SSL) and then sent to us by e-mail. E-Mails and phone calls are transmitted over the Internet. Please be aware, that those connections are not encrypted by default and may cause risks for your rights and freedoms.

 

Purpose and legal basis

We process personal data related to the use of the contact form, electronic mails or phone calls for the purpose of handling your request. The legal basis depends on the context of your relationship.

 

Generally, if you are a customer or an interested person, we process your personal data for the performance of a contract to which you are party or in order to take steps prior to entering into a contract according to Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR.

 

Otherwise, we process your personal data on the basis of our overriding legitimate interests pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. The legitimate interests pursued by us, are to be able to handle your request.

We process personal data related to the newsletter service to send you emails and provide you interesting information about our products and services, based on your prior consent according to Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR. Your consent will be obtained by subscribing to the newsletter and confirming your subscription (double opt-in).

Mailchimp

We use the services of Mailchimp to send newsletters. The provider is Rocket Science Group LLC, 675 Ponce De Leon Ave NE, Suite 5000, Atlanta, GA 30308, USA. Mailchimp is a service that can be used to organise and analyse the sending of newsletters, among other things. If you enter data for the purpose of subscribing to the newsletter (e.g. email address), this data is stored on Mailchimp's servers in the USA.

With the help of Mailchimp, we can analyse our newsletter campaigns. When you open an email sent with Mailchimp, a file contained in the email (known as a web beacon) connects to Mailchimp's servers in the USA. This makes it possible to determine whether a newsletter message has been opened and which links, if any, have been clicked on. Technical information is also collected (e.g. time of access, IP address, browser type and operating system). This information cannot be assigned to the respective newsletter recipient. It is used exclusively for the statistical analysis of newsletter campaigns. The results of these analyses can be used to better adapt future newsletters to the interests of the recipients.

If you do not wish to be analysed by Mailchimp, you must unsubscribe from the newsletter. For this purpose, we provide a corresponding link in every newsletter message. The data processing takes place on the basis of your consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. You can revoke this consent at any time by unsubscribing from the newsletter. The legality of the data processing operations that have already taken place remains unaffected by the cancellation.

The data you provide us with for the purpose of subscribing to the newsletter will be stored by us or the newsletter service provider until you unsubscribe from the newsletter and deleted from the newsletter distribution list after you unsubscribe from the newsletter. Data stored by us for other purposes remains unaffected by this.

Mailchimp may also process collected data in the USA. The transfer is based on the adequacy decision (Data Privacy Framework certification).

You can find more details in Mailchimp's privacy policy at: https://mailchimp.com/legal/terms/ .

We have concluded a data processing agreement (DPA) for the use of the above-mentioned service.

3.8 Use of our services and business communication

The processing for the purpose of providing our services and business communication is carried out for the fulfilment of the contract pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR, for the fulfilment of legal obligations pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR and for the protection of overriding legitimate interests pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. Our legitimate interests are the fulfilment of the contract, insofar as we have concluded the contract with a third party for whom you are working, as well as the assertion, exercise and defence of legal claims. In addition, in certain cases, about which we will inform you separately, processing may also be based on your consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR or Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a GDPR.

 

If you conclude a contract directly with us as a natural person, we collect all personal data required for the establishment, performance or termination of the contract. This also applies if you negotiate or conclude a contractual agreement on behalf of another natural or legal person.

If we do not collect the data directly from you, we receive information about your person (name, position), contact data (e.g. e-mail, telephone) and contract data (e.g. performance obligations) from third parties whom you have named as the contact person or person responsible for establishing, implementing or terminating the contractual relationship.

Any marketing and sales lead contacts are manually or automatically imported to Salesforce, our CRM system. We signed a data processing with Salesforce.com Germany GmbH, the provider of Salesforce.  

We process the personal data to the extent necessary for the fulfilment of the contract, the administration of the customer relationship, the processing of enquiries and the verification and invoicing of services rendered. In addition, we process this data to enable appropriate risk management and controlling as a legal entity and to comply with other legal regulations (e.g. commercial and tax law).

As a company, we are obliged to comply with various legal provisions, in particular commercial and tax law. In addition, our activities may also require measures to combat money laundering, to ensure IT security for the critical infrastructure or to participate in audits as a significant outsourcing within the meaning of financial supervision.

You are not legally or contractually obliged to provide the personal data. However, without the information requested by us, the use of our services is not possible or only possible to a limited extent.

 

3.9  Processing of your data when contacting us at trade fairs and events

If you provide us with your contact details in person at trade fairs and similar events (e.g. by giving us your business card), we will collect them in order to stay in contact with you. The legal basis for data processing in the context of enquiries about cooperation with us is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b. GDPR, the implementation of pre-contractual measures based on your enquiry. In other cases, we process your data because you have expressly consented to this (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR).

 

If your data can be assigned to a contractual relationship following the enquiry, we will delete it after the contract period, otherwise after your enquiry has been dealt with, or restrict processing if there are statutory retention obligations. If our data processing is based on your consent, the regulations apply according to which you can revoke your consent at any time and your data will then be deleted in accordance with the prescribed deletion periods.
