We only process personal data to the extent necessary and for the purpose of providing a functional and user-friendly website.

In accordance with Art. 4 Para. 1. of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) (Regulation (EU) 2016/679), “processing” is any operation which is performed on personal data or on sets of personal data, whether or not by automated means, such as collection, recording, organisation, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, reading, querying, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, matching or linking, restriction, deletion or destruction.

With the following Privacy Policy, we hereby inform you in particular about the type, scope, purpose, duration and legal basis of the processing of personal data, to the extent that decide on the purposes and means of processing, either alone or jointly with others. In addition, we will inform you below about the third-party components we use for optimisation purposes and to increase the quality of use, to the extent that this means that third parties process data on their own responsibility.

Our Privacy Policy is structured as follows:

I. Information about us as those responsible

II. Rights of users and data subjects

III. Information on data processing

With a view to the data processing described in more detail below, the users and those affected have the right

• to confirmation as to whether data relating to them is being processed, to information about the data processed, to further information about data processing and for copies of the data (see also Art. 15 of the General Data Protection Regulation);
• to correct or completion of incorrect or incomplete data (see also Art. 16 of the General Data Protection Regulation);
• to the immediate deletion of the data concerning them (see also Art. 17 of the General Data Protection Regulation), or, alternatively, if further processing is required in accordance with Art. 17 Para. 3 of the General Data Protection Regulation, to restriction of processing in accordance with Art. 18 of the General Data Protection Regulation;
• to receive the data relating to them and provided by them and to transmit this data to other providers/responsible parties (see also Art. 20 of the General Data Protection Regulation);
• to lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority if they believe that the data concerning them is being processed by the provider in violation of data protection regulations (see also Art. 77 of the General Data Protection Regulation).

In addition, the provider is obliged to inform all recipients, to whom data has been disclosed by the provider, of any correction or deletion of data or the restriction of processing that takes place on the basis of Articles 16, 17 Para. 1, 18 of the General Data Protection Regulation. However, this obligation does not exist if this notification is impossible or involves a disproportionate effort. Irrespective of this, the user has a right to information about these recipients.

According to Art. 21 of the General Data Protection Regulation, users and data subjects also have the right to object to the future processing of the data concerning them, provided that the data is processed by the provider in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1, letter f) of the General Data Protection Regulation. In particular, an objection to data processing for the purpose of direct advertising is permissible.

Your data processed when using our website will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of storage no longer applies, the deletion of the data does not conflict with any statutory retention requirements and no other information on individual processing methods is subsequently given.

For technical reasons, in particular to ensure a secure and stable website, data is transmitted to us or our web space provider by your Internet browser and stored in log data (server log files). These so-called server log files collect and record, among other things, the type and version of your Internet browser, the operating system, the website from which you transferred to our website (referrer URL), the webpage(s) of our website that you visit, the date and time of the respective access, the IP address of the Internet connection from which our website is used as well as the amount of data transferred and the requesting provider. The IP addresses are stored anonymously.

The data collected in this way is retained temporarily, but not together with other data from you.

This retention takes place on the legal basis under Art. 6 Para. 1, letter f) of the General Data Protection Regulation. Our legitimate interest lies in the improvement, stability, functionality and security of our website.

The anonymised IP addresses are retained for 60 days unless further retention is required for evidentiary purposes. Otherwise, the data is completely or partially excluded from deletion until the final clarification of an incident. Error Logs, which log incorrect page views, are deleted after seven days. In addition to the error messages, these include the accessing IP address and, depending on the error, the website accessed.

The Cookies we use are categorised as follows:

• Marketing
• Functional
• Essential

You may prevent or restrict the installation of Cookies through a setting in your Internet browser. You may also delete Cookies that have already been saved at any time. However, the steps and measures required for this depend on the specific Internet browser you are using. For any questions, please use the help function or documentation of your Internet browser or contact its manufacturer or support.

However, if you prevent or restrict the installation of Cookies, this may mean that not all functions of our website may be used to their full extent.

his website uses a Cookie consent tool with technology from Usercentrics GmbH, Rosental 4, 80331 Munich (hereinafter “Usercentrics”) to obtain and document user consent for Cookies that require consent and Cookie-based applications.

When you visit our website, the following personal data is transferred to Usercentrics:

• Your consent(s) or withdrawal of your consent(s)
• Your IP address
• Information about your browser
• Information about your device
• Time of your visit to the website

Furthermore, Usercentrics stores a cookie in your browser in order to be able to allocate the given consent or its revocation to you. The data collected in this way is stored until you request us to delete it, delete the Usercentrics Cookie yourself, or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies. Mandatory statutory retention requirements remain unaffected.

This data processing takes place in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 letter f of the General Data Protection Regulation on the basis of our legitimate interest in a legally compliant, user-specific and user-friendly consent management for Cookies and therefore in a legally compliant design of our website.

Further legal basis for the data processing described is Art. 6 Para. 1, letter c) of the General Data Protection Regulation. As the party responsible, we are subject to the legal obligation to make the use of technically unnecessary Cookies dependent on the respective user consent.

If you give us your consent via the Cookie banner, this website uses the Google Ads advertising component and so-called Conversion Tracking. This is a service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland, hereinafter referred to as “Google”.

In the event that personal data is transmitted to Google LLC based in the USA, in order to comply with data protection requirements when transferring personal data from the EEA to so-called third-party countries, Google uses EU standard contractual clauses for the relevant data transfers. These are based on the Commission decision of 5 February 2010 on standard contractual clauses for the transfer of personal data to processors in third-party countries in accordance with Directive 95/46/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council and continue to represent a permissible legal mechanism for the transfer of data within the framework of the General Data Protection Regulation.

If you have given us your consent and click on an ad placed by Google, a Conversion Tracking Cookie will be placed on your computer. These Cookies have a limited validity, do not contain any personal data and are therefore not used for personal identification. If you visit certain pages of our website and the Cookie has not yet expired, Google and we can recognise that you clicked on the ad and were redirected to this page. Each Google Ad customer is assigned a unique Cookie. As a result, there is no way that Cookies can be tracked through Ads customers’ websites. The information obtained using a conversion Cookie is used to generate conversion statistics. This tells us the total number of users who clicked on one of our ads and were redirected to a page with a Conversion Tracking tag. We do not, however, receive any information that can be used to identify users personally.

We use this conversion tracking for the targeted advertising of our offer, provided that you have given us your consent by consenting to the use of the corresponding Google Ads Conversion Tracking Cookies via the Usercentrics Cookie consent tool.

The data processing, in particular the setting of cookies, takes place with your consent on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 Letter a) of the General Data Protection Regulation. You may revoke your consent to the use of the corresponding cookies at any time with effect for the future in accordance with Art. 7 Para. 3 of the General Data Protection Regulation. For this, you only have to inform us of your revocation by editing your consent in the Usercentrics Cookie Consent Tool via the corresponding icon at the bottom left.

Google has further data protection information available for you at https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads or https://www.google.com/ads/preferences.

If you give us your consent via the Cookie banner, this website uses the Google Ads advertising component and the so-called Remarketing or ”similar target groups” function. This is a web analysis service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland, hereinafter referred to as “Google”.

In the event that personal data is transmitted to Google LLC based in the USA, in order to comply with data protection requirements when transferring personal data from the EEA to so-called third-party countries, Google uses EU standard contractual clauses for the relevant data transfers. These are based on the Commission decision of 5 February 2010 on standard contractual clauses for the transfer of personal data to processors in third-party countries in accordance with Directive 95/46/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council and continue to represent a permissible legal mechanism for the transfer of data within the framework of the General Data Protection Regulation.

If you have given us your consent, you can be targeted with advertising by placing customised and interest-based ads when you visit other websites in the so-called “Google Display Network”. “Google Remarketing” or the “Similar target groups” function stores Cookies on your computer for this purpose. Your visits and anonymous data about the use of the website are recorded via these text files. Personal data will not be saved. If you visit another website in the so-called “Google Display Network”, you may be shown advertisements that are highly likely to take into account product and information areas previously accessed on our website. The Cookies are used to uniquely identify a web browser on a specific end device and not to identify a person.

We use Remarketing for the targeted advertising of our offer, provided that you have given us your consent by consenting to the use of the corresponding Google Ads Remarketing Cookies via the Usercentrics Cookie consent tool. The legal basis for the processing of your personal data for this specific purpose is Article 6 Paragraph 1 Letter a) of the General Data Protection Regulation.

The data processing, in particular the setting of cookies, takes place with your consent on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 letter a of the General Data Protection Regulation. You may revoke your consent to the use of the corresponding cookies at any time with effect for the future in accordance with Art. 7 Para. 3 of the General Data Protection Regulation. For this, you only have to inform us of your revocation by editing your consent in the Usercentrics Cookie Consent Tool via the corresponding icon at the bottom left.

Google has further data protection information available for you at https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads or https://www.google.com/ads/preferences.

If you give us your consent via the cookie banner, this website uses the Floodlight Conversion Tracking service from the Google Marketing Platform Tool Display & Video 360. This is a web analysis service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland, hereinafter referred to as “Google”.

In the event that personal data is transmitted to Google LLC based in the USA, in order to comply with data protection requirements when transferring personal data from the EEA to so-called third-party countries, Google uses EU standard contractual clauses for the relevant data transfers. These are based on the Commission decision of 5 February 2010 on standard contractual clauses for the transfer of personal data to processors in third-party countries in accordance with Directive 95/46/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council and continue to represent a permissible legal mechanism for the transfer of data within the framework of the General Data Protection Regulation.

If you have given us your consent for this, Cookies (so-called “Floodlights”) are used in order to be able to present you with better and more precisely relevant advertisements. Cookies are often used to deliver ads that are relevant to you, to improve reports on campaign performance, or to prevent you from seeing the same ad multiple times. The Cookies are used to uniquely identify a web browser on a specific end device and not to identify a person. This makes it possible, for example, to record which ads should be displayed in which browser. If an ad should be shown in a browser, it is possible to check which ads have already appeared in that particular browser. This avoids showing ads that the user has already seen. Similarly, conversions related to the advertisement requests can be recorded. This is the case, for example, if you see an advertisement from us and later call up our website with the same browser and carry out actions there.

We use this Conversion Tracking for the targeted advertising of our offer, provided that you have given us your consent by consenting to the use of the corresponding DoubleClick Floodlight Cookies via the Usercentrics Cookie consent tool.

The data processing, in particular the setting of cookies, takes place with your consent on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 Letter a) of the General Data Protection Regulation. You may revoke your consent to the use of the corresponding cookies at any time with effect for the future in accordance with Art. 7 Para. 3 of the General Data Protection Regulation. For this, you only have to inform us of your revocation by editing your consent in the Usercentrics Cookie Consent Tool via the corresponding icon at the bottom left.

Google has further data protection information available for you at https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads or https://www.google.com/ads/preferences.

If you give us your consent via the Cookie banner, this website uses Google Analytics. This is a web analysis service provided by Google Analytics from Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland, hereinafter referred to as “Google”.

In the event that personal data is transmitted to Google LLC based in the USA, in order to comply with data protection requirements when transferring personal data from the EEA to so-called third-party countries, Google uses EU standard contractual clauses for the relevant data transfers. These are based on the Commission decision of 5 February 2010 on standard contractual clauses for the transfer of personal data to processors in third-party countries in accordance with Directive 95/46/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council and continue to represent a permissible legal mechanism for the transfer of data within the framework of the General Data Protection Regulation.

Google uses various technologies, including so-called “Cookies”, text files that are stored on your computer. They store information about the use of our site, which we use to improve our offer. Google uses various technologies, including so-called “Cookies”, text files that are stored on your computer. They store information about the use of our site, which we use to improve our offer.

Usage and user-related information such as IP address, location, time or frequency of visits to our website can be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. However, we use Google Analytics with the so-called anonymisation function. With this function, Google already shortens the IP address within the EU or the 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.

We use the Google Analytics service to analyse the usage behaviour of our website, provided that you have given us your consent by consenting to the use of the corresponding Cookies via the Usercentrics Cookie consent tool. The legal basis for the processing of your personal data for this specific purpose is Article 6 Paragraph 1 Letter a) of the General Data Protection Regulation.

You may revoke your consent to the use of the corresponding cookies at any time with effect for the future in accordance with Art. 7 Para. 3 of the General Data Protection Regulation. For this, you only have to inform us of your revocation by editing your consent in the Usercentrics Cookie Consent Tool via the corresponding icon at the bottom left.

If you give us your consent via the Cookie banner, this website uses Google Tag Manager from Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland, hereinafter referred to simply as “Google”.

In the event that personal data is transmitted to Google LLC based in the USA, in order to comply with data protection requirements when transferring personal data from the EEA to so-called third-party countries, Google uses EU standard contractual clauses for the relevant data transfers. These are based on the Commission decision of 5 February 2010 on standard contractual clauses for the transfer of personal data to processors in third-party countries in accordance with Directive 95/46/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council and continue to represent a permissible legal mechanism for the transfer of data within the framework of the General Data Protection Regulation.

Google Tag Manager is a solution from Google that allows companies to manage website tags via one interface. The Google Tag Manager is a Cookie-less domain that does not collect any personal data. Google Tag Manager manages the triggering of other tags, in our case for

-    Google Ads - Conversion-Tracking
-    Google Ads – Remarketing
-    DoubleClick Floodlight
-    Google Analytics,

which may in turn collect data. We expressly point this out herein. Google Tag Manager does not access this data. If a deactivation has been carried out by the user at domain or Cookie level, this remains in place for all tracking tags implemented with Google Tag Manager.

We use Google Tag Manager to analyse the usage behaviour of our website, provided that you have given us your consent by consenting to the use of the corresponding Cookies via the Usercentrics Cookie consent tool. The legal basis for the processing of your personal data for this specific purpose is Article 6 Paragraph 1 Letter a) of the General Data Protection Regulation.

You may revoke your consent to the use of the corresponding cookies at any time with effect for the future in accordance with Art. 7 Para. 3 of the General Data Protection Regulation. For this, you only have to inform us of your revocation by editing your consent in the Usercentrics Cookie Consent Tool via the corresponding icon at the bottom left.

In addition, Google has further data protection information available for you at https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/, e.g. also on the options for preventing the use of data. All information about Google Tag Manager can be found here:​​​​​​​ http://www.google.de/tagmanager/use-policy.html

If you give us your consent via the Cookie banner, this website uses the “Google Maps” component to visually display geographic information. Google Maps is operated by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland (“Google”). Detailed information on data protection in connection with the use of Google Maps can be found on the Google website (“Google Privacy Policy & Terms of Use”):https://policies.google.com/privacy and the additional Terms Of Use for Google Maps/Google Earth at https://www.google.com/intl/de_de/help/terms_maps/.

A consent prevents a connection to the respective server of the third-party provider being established automatically when accessing our website in order to display the external content. So you may decide for yourself whether the provider collects information about you. You may also adjust Google Maps at any time using the Cookie settings at the bottom left.

When Google Maps is used, Google also collects, processes and uses data about the use of the Maps function by visitors to the website. If the user is logged into the user account of the respective third-party provider at the same time, the provider may, if necessary, assign the information collected from the user’s specific visit to the user’s personal account. If the user interacts via a “Share” button of the respective network, this information may be stored in the personal user account of the user and, if necessary, published. If the user wishes to prevent the collected information from being directly assigned to their user account, they must log out before clicking on the link. It is also possible to configure the respective user account accordingly.

In the event that personal data is transmitted to Google LLC based in the USA, in order to comply with data protection requirements when transferring personal data from the EEA to so-called third-party countries, Google uses EU standard contractual clauses for the relevant data transfers. These are based on the Commission decision of 5 February 2010 on standard contractual clauses for the transfer of personal data to processors in third-party countries in accordance with Directive 95/46/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council and continue to represent a permissible legal mechanism for the transfer of data within the framework of the General Data Protection Regulation. Further information on this shall be provided by Google.

We also advertise 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 a connection being automatically established to the respective server of the social network when calling up a website that has a social media application in order to display a graphic of the respective network itself. The user will only be forwarded to the respective social network service by clicking on the corresponding graphic.

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 will be processed in the USA.

Initially, this is data such as IP address, date, time and page visited. If the user is logged into the user account of the respective network at the same time, the network operator may, if necessary, assign the information collected from the user’s specific visit to the user’s personal account. If the user interacts via a “Share” button of the respective network, this information may be stored in the personal user account of the user and, if necessary, published. If the user wishes to prevent the collected information from being directly assigned to their user account, they must log out before clicking on the graphic. It is also possible to configure the respective user account accordingly.

The following social networks are integrated into our site through links:
LinkedIn – LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company, Wilton Plaza, Wilton Place, Dublin 2, Ireland, a subsidiary of LinkedIn Corporation, 1000 W. Maude Avenue, Sunnyvale, CA 94085 USA.

If you contact us via the contact form or email, the data you provide will be used to process your request. Providing the data is necessary for processing and answering your inquiry - without providing it, we cannot respond to your inquiry at all or only to a limited extent.

The legal basis for the processing of data that is transmitted in the course of sending an e-mail is Art. 6 Para. 1, letter f) of the General Data Protection Regulation. If the e-mail contact is aimed at concluding a contract or takes place within the framework of an existing contractual relationship, the additional legal basis for processing is Art. 6 Para. 1, letter b) of the General Data Protection Regulation.

Your data will be deleted if your request has been answered conclusively and the deletion does not conflict with any statutory retention requirements, such as in the case of any subsequent contract processing.
