On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide the website operator with other services relating to website activity and internet usage. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other data held by Google.

Using the tracking tool Google Analytics, the behavior of website visitors can be evaluated and their interests analyzed. To do this, we create a pseudonymous user profile.

X.12. Use of Google DoubleClick

a. Type and purpose of processing
We use the service for the online marketing process Google “Doubleclick”.
The purpose of this service is to place ads in the Google advertising network (e.g., in search results, in videos, on websites, etc.). Double Click is characterized by the fact that ads are displayed in real time based on the presumed interests of users. This allows us to display ads for and within our online offering in a more targeted manner in order to only present users with ads that potentially correspond to their interests. If, for example, a user is shown ads for products that they were interested in on other online offerings, this is referred to as "remarketing". For these purposes, when you visit our website and other websites on which the Google advertising network is active, Google immediately executes a code from Google and so-called (re)marketing tags (invisible graphics or code, also known as "web beacons") are integrated into the website. With their help, an individual cookie, i.e. a small file, is stored on the user's device (comparable technologies can also be used instead of cookies). This file records which websites the user has visited, which content he is interested in and which offers the user has clicked on, as well as technical information on the browser and operating system, referring websites, time of visit and other information on the use of the online offer.

The user's IP address is also recorded, although this is shortened within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area and only in exceptional cases is it transferred in full to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. Google may also combine the above information with information from other sources. If the user subsequently visits other websites, he or she may be shown advertisements tailored to him or her based on his or her user profile and in accordance with his or her presumed interests.

The user data is processed pseudonymously within the Google advertising network. This means that Google does not store and process the name or email address of the user, for example, but processes the relevant data in a cookie-related manner within pseudonymous user profiles. This means that from Google's point of view, the ads are not managed and displayed for a specifically identified person, but for the cookie owner, regardless of who this cookie owner is. This does not apply if a user has expressly allowed Google to process the data without this pseudonymization.

b. Legal basis for processing
The processing is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest in the analysis, optimization and economic operation of our online offering.

c. Data categories
Click path; IP address; Usage data; Referrer URL; Mouse movements; Advertisements viewed; click path; IP address; Touch point to advertising medium; Pages viewed; User; Transactions; Events

d. Recipient
Recipients of the data are internal employees of the IT department and Google as data processor.

The data is saved on the basis of our legitimate interests, as well as the user's interest in protection against misuse and other unauthorized use. This data is generally not passed on to third parties unless it is necessary to pursue our claims or there is a legal obligation to do so in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. c. GDPR. The IP addresses are anonymized or deleted after 7 days at the latest.

XIV. Data security

The personal data of every individual who has a contractual, pre-contractual or other relationship with our company deserves special protection. We aim to maintain our data protection level at a high standard. That is why we are committed to continuously developing our data protection and data security concepts. We are therefore committed to protecting your privacy and treating your personal data confidentially. In order to avoid manipulation, loss or misuse of the data stored by us, we take extensive technical and organizational security precautions that are regularly reviewed and adapted to technological progress. This includes, among other things, the use of recognized encryption methods (SSL or TLS). However, we would like to point out that due to the structure of the Internet, it is possible that the data protection rules and the above-mentioned security measures are not observed by other persons or institutions outside our area of responsibility. In particular, data disclosed unencrypted - e.g. if this is done by email - can be read by third parties. We have no technical influence on this. It is the user's responsibility to protect the data he or she provides against misuse by encrypting it or otherwise.

Note on data transfer to the USA and other third countries

Among other things, we use tools from companies based in the USA or other third countries that are not secure in terms of data protection law. If these tools are active, your personal data can be transferred to these third countries and processed there. We would like to point out that a level of data protection comparable to that in the EU cannot be guaranteed in these countries. For example, US companies are obliged to release personal data to security authorities without you as the data subject being able to take legal action against this. It cannot therefore be ruled out that US authorities (e.g. secret services) will process, evaluate and permanently store your data on US servers for surveillance purposes. We have no influence on these processing activities.

Revocation of your consent to data processing

Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You can revoke your consent at any time. The legality of the data processing carried out up to the time of revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

Every data subject has the right to object at any time, for reasons related to his or her particular situation, to the processing of personal data concerning him or her which is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (e) or (f) GDPR. This also applies to profiling based on these provisions.
In the event of an objection, the controller shall no longer process the personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which outweigh the interests, rights and freedoms of the data subject, or the processing serves to assert, exercise or defend legal claims. If the controller processes personal data for direct marketing purposes, the data subject shall have the right to object at any time to processing of personal data concerning him or her for such marketing. This also applies to profiling insofar as it is related to such direct marketing. If the data subject objects to the controller processing for direct marketing purposes, the controller will no longer process the personal data for these purposes.
In addition, the data subject has the right to object to the processing of personal data concerning him or her by the controller for scientific or historical research purposes or for statistical purposes pursuant to Art. 89 (1) GDPR, unless such processing is necessary to perform a task carried out in the public interest, for reasons related to his or her particular situation. To exercise the right to object, the data subject may contact us at any time using the contact option provided at the beginning of this data protection notice.

Without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, every data subject shall have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of his or her residence, place of work or place of the alleged infringement, if the data subject considers that the processing of personal data concerning him or her infringes the GDPR. The supervisory authority to which the complaint was submitted shall inform the complainant of the status and outcome of the complaint, including the possibility of a judicial remedy under Art. 78 GDPR.

Each data subject has the right to receive the personal data concerning him or her, which was made available to a controller, in a structured, common and machine-readable format. He or she also has the right to transmit this data to another controller without hindrance from the current controller to whom the personal data was made available, provided that the processing is based on consent pursuant to point (a) of Art. 6 (1) GDPR or point (a) of Art. 9 (2) GDPR or on a contract pursuant to point (b) of Art. 6 (1) GDPR and the processing is carried out by automated means, unless the processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller.
Furthermore, in exercising his or her right to data portability pursuant to Art. 20 (1) GDPR, the data subject has the right to have the personal data transmitted directly from one controller to another, where technically feasible and when doing so does not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others. To assert the right to data portability, the data subject may contact us at any time using the contact option provided at the beginning of this privacy policy.

Every data subject has the right to obtain from our company the immediate rectification of inaccurate personal data concerning him or her. Furthermore, the data subject has the right to request the completion of incomplete personal data, also by means of a supplementary statement, taking into account the purposes of the processing.

If a data subject wishes to exercise this right to information, he or she can contact us at any time using the contact option provided at the beginning of this data protection notice.

Every data subject has the right to information about the personal data concerning him or her. The right to information extends to all data processed by us. The right can be exercised easily and at regular intervals so that all data subjects are always aware of the processing of their personal data and can check its legality (see Recital 63 GDPR). The right to information includes in particular the following information:

  • The purpose of the processing
  • The data categories
  • The recipients/categories of recipients, in particular recipients from international organisations or third countries; if a third country is involved, the data subject also has the right to obtain information about the appropriate safeguards in connection with the transfer.
  • Where possible, the envisaged period for which the personal data will be stored, or, if not possible, the criteria used to determine that period
  • All available information about the origin of the data if the personal data are not collected from the data subject
  • All available information on the existence of automated decision-making, including profiling, pursuant to Art. 22 (1) and (4) GDPR
  • The existence of a right to
    • Correction or
    • Deletion of personal data concerning them or
    • to restriction of processing by the controller or
    • a right to object to such processing and
    • the existence of a right of complaint to a supervisory authority

If a data subject wishes to exercise this right to information, he or she can contact us at any time using the contact option provided at the beginning of this data protection notice.

Any data subject has the right to request the controller to restrict processing if one of the following conditions applies:

  • The accuracy of the personal data is contested by the data subject, for a period enabling the controller to verify the accuracy of the personal data.
  • The processing is unlawful, the data subject opposes the erasure of the personal data and requests the restriction of the use of the personal data instead.
  • The controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of the processing, but the data subject needs them to assert, exercise or defend legal claims.
  • The data subject has objected to processing pursuant to Art. 21 Para. 1 GDPR and it has not yet been determined whether the legitimate reasons of the controller outweigh those of the data subject.

If one of the above conditions is met and a data subject wishes to request the restriction of personal data stored by the controller, he or she may contact us at any time using the contact option provided at the beginning of this data protection notice. The controller will arrange for the processing to be restricted.

Google Analytics enables the website operator to analyze the behavior of website visitors. The website operator receives various usage data, such as page views, length of stay, operating systems used and origin of the user. This data may be summarized by Google in a profile that is assigned to the respective user or their device.

Furthermore, we can use Google Analytics to record your mouse and scroll movements and clicks, among other things. Furthermore, Google Analytics uses various modeling approaches to supplement the data sets collected and uses machine learning technologies in data analysis.

Demographic characteristics in Google Analytics

This website uses the "demographic characteristics" function of Google Analytics to be able to show website visitors suitable advertisements within the Google advertising network. This enables reports to be created that contain information about the age, gender and interests of the site visitors. This data comes from interest-based advertising from Google as well as from visitor data from third parties. This data cannot be assigned to a specific person. You can deactivate this function at any time via the ad settings in your Google account or generally prohibit the collection of your data by Google Analytics as described in the "Objection to data collection" section.

In addition, targeted advertisements can be displayed based on the user data available to Google (e.g. location data and interests) (target group targeting). We as website operators can evaluate this data quantitatively, for example by analyzing which search terms led to the display of our advertisements and how many ads led to corresponding clicks.

The use of Google Ads is based on Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in marketing its services and products as effectively as possible.

The data transfer to the USA is based on the standard contractual clauses of the EU Commission. Details can be found here: https://policies.google.com/privacy/frameworks and https://privacy.google.com/businesses/controllerterms/mccs/.

Google AdSense (not personalized)

This website uses Google AdSense, a service for integrating advertisements. The provider is Google Ireland Limited ("Google"), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

We use Google AdSense in "non-personalized" mode. In contrast to personalized mode, the advertisements are not based on your previous user behavior and no user profile is created of you. Instead, so-called "context information" is used when selecting the advertisement. The selected advertisements are then based on, for example, your location, the content of the website you are on or your current search terms. You can find out more about the differences between personalized and non-personalized targeting with Google AdSense at: https://support.google.com/adsense/answer/9007336.

LinkedIn Insights Tag

This website uses the LinkedIn Insight Tag. The provider of this service is LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company, Wilton Plaza, Wilton Place, Dublin 2, Ireland.

Data processing by LinkedIn Insight Tag

With the help of the LinkedIn Insight Tag, we receive information about the visitors to our website. If a website visitor is registered with LinkedIn, we can, among other things, analyze the key professional data (e.g. career level, company size, country, location, industry and job title) of our website visitors and thus better tailor our site to the respective target groups. Furthermore, with the help of LinkedIn Insight Tags, we can measure whether visitors to our websites make a purchase or take another action (conversion measurement). Conversion measurement can also take place across devices (e.g. from PC to tablet). LinkedIn Insight Tag also offers a retargeting function with which we can show visitors to our website targeted advertising outside of the website, although according to LinkedIn, the advertising recipient is not identified.

LinkedIn itself also records so-called log files (URL, referrer URL, IP address, device and browser properties and time of access). The IP addresses are shortened or (if they are used to reach LinkedIn members across devices) hashed (pseudonymized). The direct identifiers of LinkedIn members are deleted by LinkedIn after seven days. The remaining pseudonymized data is then deleted within 180 days.

We as website operators cannot assign the data collected by LinkedIn to specific individuals. LinkedIn will store the personal data collected from website visitors on its servers in the USA and use it for its own advertising purposes. For details, see LinkedIn's privacy policy at https://www.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy#choices-oblig.

Legal basis

The use of LinkedIn Insight is based on Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in effective advertising measures, including social media. If a corresponding consent has been requested (e.g. consent to the storage of cookies), the processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR; the consent can be revoked at any time.

The data transfer to the USA is based on the standard contractual clauses of the EU Commission. Details can be found here: https://www.linkedin.com/legal/l/dpa and https://www.linkedin.com/legal/l/eu-sccs.
