Collection of general information
When you access our website, information of a general nature is automatically collected. This information (server log files) includes, for example, the type of web browser, the operating system used, the domain name of your Internet service provider, and similar information. This is exclusively information that does not allow any conclusions to be drawn about your person. This information is technically necessary in order to correctly deliver the content you have requested from websites and is mandatory when using the Internet. Anonymous information of this kind is statistically evaluated by us in order to optimize our website and the technology behind it.
Contact: Collection, processing, and use of personal data
Personal data is any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. This includes, for example, your Like many other websites, we also use so-called “cookies.” Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device (laptop, tablet, smartphone, etc.) when you visit our website. This provides us with certain data, such as your IP address, browser, and operating system. Cookies cannot be used to start programs or transfer viruses to a computer. The information contained in cookies enables us to facilitate navigation and ensure that our web pages are displayed correctly.
Under no circumstances will the data we collect be passed on to third parties or linked to personal data without your consent. If you allow us to use cookies through your browser settings or consent, the following cookies may be used on our websites: Google Analytics.
If these cookies may relate to personal data, we will inform you about this in the following sections.
Of course, you can also view our website without cookies. Internet browsers are usually set to accept cookies. Please note that individual functions of our website may not work if you have deactivated the use of cookies.
You can delete individual cookies or your entire cookie history via your browser settings. You will also find information and instructions on how to delete these cookies or block them from being stored in advance. Depending on your browser provider, you will find the necessary information under the following links:
Mozilla Firefox: https://support.mozilla.org/de/kb/cookies-loeschen-daten-von-websites-entfernen
Internet Explorer: https://support.microsoft.com/de-de/help/17442/windows-internet-explorer-delete-manage-cookies
Google Chrome: https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/61416?hl=de
Opera: http://www.opera.com/de/help
Safari: https://support.apple.com/kb/PH17191?locale=de_DE&viewlocale=de_DE
We also use strictly necessary cookies. These cookies are required to provide basic website functions. This includes setting personal privacy settings, logging in, or filling out forms. The use of strictly necessary cookies does not require the user's consent and cannot be disabled.
SSL encryption
To protect the security of your personal data during transmission, we use state-of-the-art encryption methods (e.g., SSL) via HTTPS.
Deletion or blocking of data
We adhere to the principles of data avoidance and data minimization. We therefore only store your personal data for as long as it is necessary to achieve the purposes stated here or as required by the various storage periods provided by law. After the respective purpose has ceased to exist or these periods have expired, the corresponding data will be routinely blocked or deleted in accordance with the statutory provisions.
Google Analytics 4
In order to tailor our website to user interests, we use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google (Google Ireland Ltd., Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, and Google, LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; hereinafter referred to as Google and Google Analytics 4). Google Analytics 4 uses cookies, which are stored on your device for recognition purposes, as well as similar tracking methods for recognizing devices, such as tracking pixels, device fingerprinting, and programming interfaces (e.g., APIs and SDKs) to process information from your device. For this purpose, a randomly generated identification number (cookie ID/device ID) is assigned to your device. With the help of these technologies, “Google” processes the information generated about the use of our website by your device as well as access data for the purpose of statistical analysis – e.g., visiting a specific web page, number of unique visitors, entry and exit pages, length of stay, click, swipe, and scroll behavior, button clicks, newsletter sign-ups, bounce rate, and similar user interactions. For this purpose, it may also be determined whether different devices belong to you or your household. Access data includes, in particular, the IP address, browser and device information, cookie ID/device ID, the previously visited website, and the date and time of the server request. In Google Analytics 4 systems, individual IP addresses are not logged or stored. When Google collects your IP address in special local data centers in the EU, your IP address is used to determine location information. The IP address is then deleted before the access data is stored in a data center or on a server for Google Analytics. Google Analytics 4 does not provide precise data on geographical location, but only general location information such as the region and city of the end device's location, which is derived from the IP address. Google will process this information to evaluate your use of the website, compile reports on website activity for us, and—if we specifically indicate this—to provide us with other services related to website usage. If you are registered with a Google service, Google may associate your website visit with your user account and create and evaluate user profiles across applications. In addition, a cross-platform analysis of usage behavior on websites and apps that use Google Analytics 4 technologies is performed. This allows usage behavior to be recorded, measured, and compared equally across different environments. For example, the user's scroll events are automatically recorded, which should enable a better understanding of the use of websites and apps. Different cookie IDs/device IDs are used for different end devices. We are then provided with anonymized statistics on the use of the various platforms, compiled according to selected criteria. With the help of Google Analytics 4, target groups for specific cookie IDs/device IDs or mobile advertising IDs are automatically created, which are later used for individualized advertising. Target group criteria may include, for example: users who have viewed products but not added them to a shopping cart or added them to a shopping cart but not completed the purchase, OR users who have purchased certain items. A target group comprises at least 100 users. With the help of the “Google Ads” tool, interest-based advertisements can then be displayed in search results. Similarly, users of websites can be recognized on other websites within the Google advertising network (in Google Search, on YouTube, in Google Ads, or on other websites) and presented with advertisements tailored to the specified target group criteria. The legal basis for the storage of and access to information on your device is Section 25 (1) TTDSG; the legal basis for further processing is Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR. Google also processes some of the data in the USA. There is no adequacy decision by the EU Commission for data transfers to the USA. Standard contractual clauses have been concluded with Google, LLC to oblige Google, LLC to maintain an adequate level of data protection. A copy of the standard contractual clauses is available at https://cloud.google.com/terms/sccs. Your data in connection with Google Analytics 4 will be deleted after 24 months at the latest. For more information about data protection at Google, please visit: http://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy. You can revoke your consent to processing at any time by moving the slider back in the “Manage cookie settings” section of the consent tool for the respective third-party provider. The lawfulness of the processing remains unaffected until the revocation is exercised.
LinkedIn Conversion Tracking
We use the services of LinkedIn Marketing Solutions from LinkedIn Ireland Limited Company (Wilton Place, Dublin 2, Ireland; LinkedIn Corp, 1000 West Maude Avenue Sunnyvale, CA 94085 United States; hereinafter referred to as “LinkedIn”) to draw attention to our offers using advertising material on the LinkedIn website. We can determine how successful the individual advertising measures are in relation to the data from the advertising campaigns. If you access our website via a LinkedIn ad, LinkedIn will store a cookie on your device. LinkedIn uses cookies to process the information generated by your device about interactions with our advertising media (visiting a specific website or clicking on an advertisement) and forms (such as contacting us, requesting free information, CV check, event registration), the data mentioned in the section “Use of our website,” in particular your IP address, browser information, the previously visited website, and the date and time of the server request, for the purpose of analyzing and visualizing the reach measurement of our advertisements.
For this purpose, it can also be determined whether different end devices belong to you or your household. Due to the marketing tools used, your browser automatically establishes a direct connection to the LinkedIn server. If you are registered with LinkedIn, LinkedIn can assign the visit to your account. Even if you are not registered with LinkedIn or have not logged in, it is possible that the provider may obtain and process your IP address. LinkedIn only provides us with statistical evaluations to measure the success of our advertising. The legal basis for the storage of and access to information on your device is Section 25 (1) TTDSG; the legal basis for further processing is Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR. LinkedIn also processes some of the data in the USA. There is no adequacy decision by the EU Commission for data transfers to the USA.
Standard contractual clauses have been agreed with LinkedIn to ensure that LinkedIn complies with an appropriate level of data protection. Further information on data protection and storage periods at LinkedIn can be found at: https://www.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy?trk=content_footer-privacy-policy.
You can revoke your consent to processing at any time by moving the slider back in the “Manage cookie settings” section of the consent tool for the respective third-party provider. The lawfulness of the processing remains unaffected until the revocation is exercised.
Embedded YouTube videos
We embed YouTube videos on some of our websites. The operator of the corresponding plugins is YouTube, LLC, 901 Cherry Ave., San Bruno, CA 94066, USA. When you visit a page with the YouTube plugin, a connection to YouTube servers is established. YouTube is informed which pages you visit. If you are logged into your YouTube account, YouTube can assign your surfing behavior to you personally. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account beforehand.
When a YouTube video is started, the provider uses cookies that collect information about user behavior.
If you have disabled the storage of cookies for the Google Ad program, you will not have to expect such cookies when watching YouTube videos. However, YouTube also stores non-personal usage information in other cookies. If you want to prevent this, you must block the storage of cookies in your browser.
Further information on data protection at YouTube can be found in the provider's privacy policy at: https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/.
Redirection via (affiliated) links
We sometimes include links on our website to make it easier for you to find other interesting websites. Clicking on these links will simply redirect you to the corresponding websites. No personal data will be passed on. We would also like to draw your attention to the applicable privacy policies of the respective websites to which you will be redirected by clicking on the links. We therefore accept no liability for third parties.
Your rights to information, correction, blocking, deletion, and objection
You have the right to obtain information about your personal data stored by us at any time in accordance with the statutory provisions. You also have the right to correct, restrict, block, or, apart from the prescribed data storage for business transactions, delete your personal data in accordance with the statutory provisions. Furthermore, you are entitled to object to processing that is carried out on the basis of statutory provisions.
Please contact our data protection officer about this and any other questions regarding data protection. You will find the contact details at the bottom of this page.
Notwithstanding this, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority.
Furthermore, we would like to point out that no automated decision-making takes place (e.g., decisions on the conclusion of a contract made directly by a computer program).
Changes to our privacy policy
We reserve the right to occasionally amend this privacy policy so that it always complies with current legal requirements or to implement changes to our services in the privacy policy, e.g. when introducing new services. The new privacy policy will then apply to your next visit.
