We give everything every day to satisfy you. Therefore, we take the protection of your personal data very seriously. Thank you for your trust!

Cookies

A cookie is a small data record that is stored on your terminal device and contains data such as personal page settings and login information. This data record is generated by the web server with which you have established a connection via your web browser and sent to you. In general, we use cookies to analyze interest in our websites and to improve the user-friendliness of our websites. In principle, you can also access our websites without cookies. However, if you want to use our web pages to their full extent or comfortably, you should accept those cookies that enable the use of certain functions or make the use more comfortable. The purposes of the cookies used by us can be found in the consent management when you first access our website or afterwards by accessing the control of the cookie services under "cookie settings" on our website.

By using our website, you will be asked to consent to the use of cookies unless they are necessary for the proper operation of the website. You can decide whether you consent to the use of cookies that require your consent in the Consent Manager on our website.

You also have the option of setting your browser so that cookies are displayed before they are stored, only certain cookies are accepted or rejected, or cookies are generally rejected. We would like to point out that changes to the browser settings only affect the respective browser. If you use different browsers or change the end device, the settings must be made again. Furthermore, you can delete cookies from your storage medium at any time. For information on cookie settings, how to change them and how to delete cookies, please refer to the help function of your web browser.

The most common types of cookies are explained below for your understanding:

Session cookies

While you are active on a website, a session cookie is temporarily stored in the memory of your computer, in which a session identifier is saved, e.g. to prevent you from having to log in again each time you change pages. Session cookies are deleted when you log out or lose their validity once your session has automatically expired.

Permanent or protocol cookies

A persistent or log cookie stores a file on your computer for the period of time specified in the expiration date. These cookies allow websites to remember your information and settings the next time you visit. This results in faster and more convenient access, as you do not have to set your language preferences for our portal again, for example. Once the expiration date has passed, the cookie is automatically deleted when you visit the website that generated it.

Third-party cookies

Third-party cookies come from providers other than the website operator. For example, they may be used to collect information for advertising, custom content, and web statistics.

Flash cookies

Flash cookies are stored on your computer as data elements of web pages when they are powered by Adobe Flash. Flash cookies have no time limit.

Cookie consent with Usercentrics

Description and purpose of data processing

To enable you to control the use of cookies, a cookie consent tool is implemented on the website (hereinafter: Usercentrics). Usercentrics is operated by Usercentrics GmbH, Sendlinger Straße 7, 80331 Munich, Germany, and shows you a cookie list divided into function groups, explains the purpose of the cookie function groups and the individual cookies as well as their storage period.

The Usercentrics Consent Management Platform collects log file and consent data using JavaScript. This JavaScript makes it possible to inform the user about their consent to certain tags on our website and to obtain, manage and document this consent.

We process the following data in the process:

The ConsentID (contains the above-mentioned data), the Consent status incl. timestamp are stored in the local memory of your browser and simultaneously on the cloud servers used. Further processing only takes place if you submit a request for information or revoke your consent. In this case, the relevant information is provided to the controller in a compact data format in an easily readable text form for the purpose of data exchange.

No user information is stored for the statistics of the use of the granted or not granted consent. Only the frequency and locations of clicks are stored.

The storage of a cookie is technically necessary for the use of Usercentrics.

Legal basis of processing

Usercentrics is used to obtain the legally required consent for the use of cookies. The legal basis for this is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. c DSGVO.

The associated cookie has a duration of 60 days. The revocation document of a previously granted consent is stored for a period of three years. The retention is based on our accountability pursuant to Art. 5 (2) DSGVO. Mandatory legal retention periods remain unaffected.

Dispatch newsletter

MailChimp and newsletter tracking

The newsletter is sent using "MailChimp", a newsletter sending platform of the US provider Rocket Science Group, LLC, 675 Ponce De Leon Ave NE #5000, Atlanta, GA 30308, USA.

MailChimp is a service with which, among other things, the sending of newsletters can be organized and analyzed. If you enter data for the purpose of receiving newsletters (e.g. email address), this data will be stored on MailChimp's servers in the USA, according to MailChimp.

The email addresses of our newsletter recipients, as well as their other data described in the context of these notes, are stored - according to the information provided by Mailchimp - on servers in the USA. MailChimp uses this information to send and evaluate the newsletter on our behalf.

Furthermore, MailChimp may, according to its own information, use this data to optimize or improve its own services, e.g. for the technical optimization of the dispatch and the presentation of the newsletters or for economic purposes to determine from which countries the recipients come. However, MailChimp does not use the data of our newsletter recipients to write to them itself or to pass them on to third parties.

Data sharing

MailChimp processes your data in the USA. We would like to point out that the USA is considered by the European Court of Justice to be a country with an insufficient level of data protection according to EU standards. In this respect, there is a risk that your data may be processed by US authorities for control and monitoring purposes, possibly without any legal remedy on your part. By subscribing to the newsletter, you decide yourself whether you want to agree to such a transfer or not. In such a case, the transfer will take place on the basis of your consent to the use of Google cookies in accordance with Article 6 (1) (a) in conjunction with Article 49 (1) (a) of the German Data Protection Act (DSGVO), as data transfer to the USA cannot be ruled out with consent to the use of Google cookies.  

You can find the privacy policy of MailChimp here: https://mailchimp.com/legal/privacy

Statistical survey and analyses

The newsletters contain a so-called "web beacon", i.e. a pixel-sized file that is retrieved from the MailChimp server when the newsletter is opened. Within the scope of this retrieval, technical information, such as information about the browser and your system, as well as your IP address and the time of the retrieval are collected. This information is used for the technical improvement of the services based on the technical data or the target groups and your reading behavior based on the retrieval locations (which can be determined with the help of the IP address) or the access times.

The statistical surveys also include determining whether the newsletters are opened, when they are opened and which links are clicked. For technical reasons, this information can be assigned to individual newsletter recipients. However, it is neither our endeavor nor that of MailChimp to observe individual users. The evaluations serve us much more to recognize the reading habits of our users and to adapt our content to them or to send different content according to the interests of our users.

Privacy policy on the use and application of fan pages and other online platforms

Privacy policy for Facebook fan page

Responsible

As the operator of this Facebook page, we ( trendig technology services GmbH, Kleiststraße 35, 10787 Berlin, Germany ) together with the operator of the social network Facebook (Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Dublin 2, Ireland ) are the responsible party within the meaning of Article 4 No. 7 of the General Data Protection Regulation (DSGVO). When visiting our Facebook page, personal data is processed by the responsible parties. In the following, we will inform you about what data is involved, how it is processed and what rights you have in this regard. As the responsible party for this site, we have entered into agreements with Facebook, which, among other things, regulate the conditions for using the Facebook page. The terms and conditions of use of Facebook as well as the other terms and conditions and guidelines listed at the end of these terms and conditions are authoritative.

Processing purposes

The processing of the information is intended, among other things, to allow Facebook to improve its system of advertising that it distributes through its network. On the other hand, it is intended to allow us, as operators of the Facebook page, to obtain statistics that Facebook creates based on the visits to our Facebook page. The purpose of this is to control the marketing of our activity. For example, it allows us to gain knowledge of the profiles of visitors who appreciate our Facebook page or use applications of the page, in order to provide them with more relevant content and develop features that may be of greater interest to them.

In addition, to help us better understand how our Facebook Page can better achieve our goals, demographic and geographic analyses are also created based on the information collected and made available to us. We can use this information to target interest-based ads without directly knowing the identity of the visitor. If visitors use Facebook on multiple devices, the collection and analysis can also take place across devices if they are registered visitors who are logged into their own profiles. The visitor statistics created are transmitted to us exclusively in anonymized form. We have no access to the underlying data.

Legal basis and legitimate interests

We operate this Facebook page in order to present ourselves to Facebook users and other interested persons who visit our Facebook page and to communicate with them. The processing of the users' personal data is based on our legitimate interests in an optimized presentation of our company (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO).

Data sharing

We have no influence on the collection of data by Facebook, nor on the data processing procedures existing at Facebook. We are also not aware of the scope of data collection, the purposes of processing or the storage periods. A forwarding of the data in anonymized statistics can therefore not be excluded.

When you visit our Facebook page, it is conceivable that some of the information collected will also be processed outside the European Union by Facebook Inc. with headquarters in the USA. We would like to point out that the USA is considered by the European Court of Justice to be a country with an insufficient level of data protection according to EU standards. In this respect, there is a risk that your data may be processed by U.S. authorities for control and monitoring purposes, possibly without any legal recourse on your part. You decide yourself in the consent management of the Facebook page whether you want to agree to such a transfer or not. In such a case, the transfer takes place on the basis of your consent pursuant to Art. 6 (1) a DSGVO.

We do not pass on any personal data ourselves.

Opposition options

Facebook users can influence the extent to which your user behavior may be recorded when visiting our Facebook page under the settings for advertising preferences. Further options are offered by the Facebook settings, the consent management of the fan page or the form for the right to object. The processing of information by means of the cookie used by Facebook can also be prevented by not allowing cookies from third-party providers or Facebook in your own browser settings.

The essence of shared responsibility

The agreements with Facebook on joint responsibility essentially mean that requests for information and the assertion of other data subjects' rights can be asserted directly against Facebook. As the provider of the social network and the possibility of including Facebook pages there, Facebook alone has direct access to the necessary information and can also take any necessary measures and provide information immediately. However, if our support is required, we can be contacted at any time.

Information on contact options and further rights as a person affected

Further information on our contact details, the rights of data subjects vis-à-vis us and how personal data is processed by us in other respects can be found in this privacy policy. Information on the handling of personal data by Facebook can be found in their privacy policy.

In the following, we will inform you about what data is involved, how it is processed and what rights you have in this regard.

As the person responsible for this page, we have entered into agreements with Facebook which, among other things, regulate the conditions for use of the Instagram page. The terms of use of Instagram are authoritative

at https://help.instagram.com/581066165581870 and the other conditions and guidelines listed there at the end.

Processing purposes

The processing of the information is intended, among other things, to allow Meta Platforms Inc. to improve its system of advertising that it distributes through its network. On the other hand, it is intended to allow us, as operators of the Instagram page, to obtain statistics that Facebook creates based on the visits to our Instagram page. The purpose of this is to control the marketing of our activity. For example, it allows us to gain knowledge of the profiles of visitors who appreciate our Instagram page or use applications of the page, in order to provide them with more relevant content and develop features that may be of greater interest to them.

In addition, to help us better understand how we can use our Instagram page to achieve our goals, demographic and geographic analyses are also created based on the information collected and made available to us. We can use this information to target interest-based ads without directly knowing the identity of the visitor. If visitors use Instagram on multiple devices, the collection and analysis can also take place across devices if they are registered visitors who are logged into their own profiles.

The visitor statistics created are transmitted to us exclusively in anonymized form. We have no access to the underlying data in each case.

Legal basis and legitimate interests

We operate this Instagram page in order to present ourselves to Instagram users and other interested persons who visit our Instagram page and to communicate with them. The processing of the users' personal data is based on our legitimate interests in an optimized presentation of our company (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO).

Data sharing

We have no influence on the collection of data by Instagram, nor on the data processing procedures existing at Instagram. We are also not aware of the scope of the data collection, the purposes of the processing or the deposited storage periods. A forwarding of the data in anonymized statistics can therefore not be excluded.

When you visit our Instagram page, it is conceivable that some of the information collected may also be processed outside the European Union by Meta Platforms Inc. based in the USA. We would like to point out that the USA is considered by the European Court of Justice to be a country with an insufficient level of data protection according to EU standards. In this respect, there is a risk that your data may be processed by U.S. authorities for control and monitoring purposes, possibly without any legal remedy on your part. You decide yourself in the consent management of the Instagram page whether you want to agree to such a transfer or not. In such a case, the transfer will take place on the basis of your consent pursuant to Art. 49 (1) a DSGVO.

We do not pass on any personal data ourselves.

Opposition options

Instagram users can influence the extent to which your user behavior may be recorded when visiting our Instagram page under the settings for advertising preferences. Further options are offered by the Facebook and Instagram settings under:

https://www.facebook.com/login.php?next=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fads%2Fpreferences%2F%3Fentry_product%3Dad_settings_screen

https://www.facebook.com/help/contact/1994830130782319 .

The processing of information by means of the cookie used by Facebook can also be prevented by not allowing cookies from third-party providers or Facebook in your own browser settings.

The essence of shared responsibility

From the agreements with Meta Platforms Inc., also regarding joint responsibility, it essentially follows that requests for information and the assertion of further rights of data subjects are sensibly asserted directly with Meta Platforms Inc. This is because, as the provider of the social network and the possibility of integrating Facebook pages there, Meta Platforms Inc. alone has direct access to the necessary information and can also take any necessary measures and provide information immediately. Should our support nevertheless be required, we can be contacted at any time.

Information on contact options and further rights as a data subject

Further information on our contact details, the rights of data subjects vis-à-vis us and how personal data is otherwise processed by us can be found in this privacy policy.

Privacy policy for LinkedIn

Responsible

As the operator of this LinkedIn page, we trendig (trendig technology services GmbH, Kleiststraße 35, 10787 Berlin, Germany) together with the operator of the social network LinkedIn (LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company Wilton Place, Dublin 2, Ireland) are responsible parties within the meaning of Article 4 No. 7 of the General Data Protection Regulation (DSGVO). When you visit our LinkedIn page, personal data is processed by the responsible parties. In the following, we will inform you about what data is involved, how it is processed and what rights you have in this regard.

As the responsible party for this site, we have entered into agreements with LinkedIn, which regulate, among other things, the conditions for use of the LinkedIn site. The terms of use of LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/legal/user-agreement?src=or-search&veh=www.google.com%7Cgo-pa&trk=sem_lms_gaw are authoritative.

Processing purposes

The processing of the information is intended, among other things, to enable LinkedIn to improve its system of advertising that it distributes via its network. On the other hand, it is intended to enable us, as the operator of the LinkedIn page, to obtain statistics that LinkedIn compiles based on the visitors to our LinkedIn page. The purpose of this is to control the marketing of our activity. For example, it enables us to gain knowledge of the profiles of visitors who value our LinkedIn page or use applications on the page in order to provide them with relevant content and develop features that may be of interest to them.

In order for us to better understand how we can better achieve our goals with our LinkedIn page, demographic and geographic evaluations are also created based on the information collected and made available to us. We can use this information to target interest-based advertisements without directly knowing the identity of the visitor. If visitors use LinkedIn on multiple devices, the collection and analysis can also take place across devices if they are registered visitors who are logged into their own profiles.

The visitor statistics created are transmitted to us exclusively in anonymized form. We have no access to the underlying data in each case.

Legal basis and legitimate interests

We operate this LinkedIn page in order to present ourselves to LinkedIn users and other interested persons who visit our LinkedIn page and to communicate with them.

Data sharing

We have no influence on the collection of data by LinkedIn, nor on the data processing procedures existing at LinkedIn. We are also not aware of the scope of the data collection, the purposes of the processing or the stored storage periods. A forwarding of the data in anonymized statistics can therefore not be ruled out.

When you visit our LinkedIn page, it is conceivable that some of the information collected may also be processed outside the European Union by LinkedIn Corporation, which is headquartered in the USA. We would like to point out that the USA is considered by the European Court of Justice to be a country with an insufficient level of data protection according to EU standards. In this respect, there is a risk that your data may be processed by US authorities for control and monitoring purposes, possibly without any legal remedy. You decide yourself in the consent management of the LinkedIn page whether you want to agree to such a transfer or not.

Opposition options

LinkedIn users can influence the extent to which their user behavior may be recorded when visiting our LinkedIn page in the consent management of the LinkedIn page. LinkedIn offers further options in the settings in the LinkedIn account and via the consent management of the fan page.

The processing of information by means of the cookie used by LinkedIn can also be prevented by not allowing cookies from third-party providers or those from LinkedIn in your own browser settings.

The essence of shared responsibility

From the agreements with LinkedIn, also on joint responsibility, it essentially follows that requests for information and the assertion of further data subject rights are sensibly asserted directly with LinkedIn. This is because, as the provider of the social network and the possibility of including LinkedIn pages there, LinkedIn alone has direct access to the necessary information and can also take any necessary measures and provide information immediately.

Privacy policy for mastodon.social

We operate an instance of the microblogging service Mastodon (mastodon.social) as an open-source, free, decentralized, non-commercial and, against the background, also fundamentally privacy-friendly communication service. Mastodon is a decentralized microblogging service developed by Mastodon gGmbH (Mühlenstraße 8a, 14167 Berlin, Germany) and operated as an open source project.

We operate the account of our Mastodon instance on fosstodon.org (an English-language Mastodon instance) under our own responsibility. Fosstodon.org is part of the decentralized social network operated by Mastodon. You can find Fosstodon's privacy policy at https://fosstodon.org/privacy-policy.

Processing purposes

The Mastodon instance operated by us is an offer within the scope of our public relations work. The purpose is to provide information to the public.

What personal data do we process?

When you visit the Mastodon website, the browser identifier ("user agent", i.e. name and version number of your browser) transmitted by your browser, the requested file, the time, the status of the call, the amount of data transferred and which encryption was used are recorded together with your IP address.

IP addresses are personal data in the sense of Art. 4 No. 1 DSGVO, even if we cannot usually identify you from this data. The processing of this data takes place systematically for each website that you visit. We store this data for seven days and then delete it in order to be able to investigate errors or detect misuse and attacks.

If you have a Mastodon account yourself and thus follow an account on this Mastodon instance, it is necessary for the functionality of Mastodon to process and store this information. Mastodon displays this information on the respective profile page (this includes your profile name, your account address, your profile picture and background picture (if available)).

When you interact with an account on our Mastodon website, it is necessary to process and store or cache this information. This data includes your own information such as the account name and your profile picture as well as the type of interaction (e.g. your comment).

The data you enter on Mastodon, in particular your profile name and the posts and content published under your account, are processed by us in such a way that we forward them or respond to them if necessary or also write posts from us that refer to your account. The data published and disseminated by Mastodon are thus included by us in our offer and made available to our followers.

Other Mastodon instances transmit information to us (e.g., about comments and other interactions). This information is processed and cached by us. The other Mastodon instances also inform us when, for example, a comment has been deleted. Our Mastodon instance then also deletes it automatically.

Legal basis of processing

We operate this mastodon site to present and communicate with mastodon users and other interested parties who visit our mastodon site. The processing of the users' personal data is based on our legitimate interests in an optimized company presentation (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO).

The use of our Mastodon offer is only possible for you if you have an account with Mastodon. In this respect, the processing of your data is based on your active participation and constitutes consent to data processing pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO.

Data sharing

The recipient of postings is the public, potentially everyone. When you share or recommend a post of ours, it is visible to everyone who follows you. If you reply to posts of ours, you can (as with your own posts) set yourself for whom these should be visible.

 

Privacy policy for Medium.com blog entries

As the operator of this website, we use Medium.com to publish content. Medium.com is operated by Medium Corporation, 799 Market St FL 5 San Francisco, CA 94103-2047, USA.

Processing purposes

Medium is a portal that specializes in the simple collection and publication of articles. The content comes from the users, who together serve a diverse selection of topics with their articles and stories.

Legal basis and legitimate interests

We operate Medium.com in order to present interesting articles and content to our customers as well as other interested persons who visit our Medium.com site. The processing of the users' personal data is based on our legitimate interests in an optimized company presentation (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO).

Data sharing

We have no influence on the collection of data by Medium Corporation, nor on the data processing procedures that exist there. We are also not aware of the scope of the data collection, the purposes of the processing or the storage periods. A forwarding of the data to anonymized statistics can therefore not be ruled out.

When you visit our Medium.com site, it is conceivable that some of the information collected may also be processed outside the European Union by Medium Corporation, which is based in the United States. We would like to point out that the USA is considered by the European Court of Justice to be a country with an insufficient level of data protection according to EU standards. In this respect, there is a risk that your data may be processed by US authorities for control and monitoring purposes, possibly without any legal remedy on your part. You decide yourself in the consent management of the Medium.com site whether you want to agree to such a transfer or not. In such a case, the transfer will take place on the basis of your consent pursuant to Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a DSGVO.

We do not pass on any personal data ourselves.

Opposition options

The processing of information by means of the cookies used by Medium.com can also be prevented by not allowing cookies from third-party providers or those from Medium in your own browser settings.

Deletion and blocking of personal data

Unless otherwise specified:

The controller shall process and store personal data of the data subject only for the period necessary to achieve the purpose of storage or where provided for by laws or regulations to which the controller is subject.

If the purpose of storage no longer applies or if a storage period prescribed by another competent legislator expires, the personal data will be blocked or deleted in accordance with the statutory provisions.

Rights of the data subject

Right to information

You can exercise your right to information from us at any time in accordance with Art. 15 DSGVO as to whether personal data relating to you is being processed by us.

Right to rectification

You can exercise your right of rectification in accordance with Art. 16 DSGVO at any time and request the correction of inaccurate personal data concerning you.

Right to restriction of processing

You may exercise your right to restrict processing in accordance with Art. 18 DSGVO at any time and request the restriction of processing, provided that the legal requirements for this are met.

Right to deletion

You can exercise your right to erasure in accordance with Art. 17 DSGVO at any time and request that personal data relating to you be deleted immediately if this data is no longer required for the purposes for which it was collected or otherwise processed. This right of deletion may be opposed by other legal obligations (e.g. retention obligations).

Right to information

You may exercise your right to information pursuant to Art. 19 DSGVO at any time. If you have asserted a right to erasure, rectification or restriction of processing of personal data relating to you, we are obliged to inform all recipients to whom the personal data relating to you has been disclosed of the rectification or erasure of the data or the restriction of processing, unless this proves impossible or involves a disproportionate effort. You have the right to be informed about these recipients.

Right to data portability

You can exercise the right to data portability in accordance with Art. 20 DSGVO at any time. You have the right to receive your personal data that you have provided to us in a structured, common and machine-readable format or to request the transfer to another controller, if this is technically feasible.

Right to object to the collection of data in special cases and to direct marketing (Art. 21 DSGO)

You have the right to object at any time, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to the processing of personal data concerning you which is carried out on the basis of Article 6(1)(e) or (f) of the GDPR; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions. Please refer to this Privacy Policy for the respective legal basis on which processing is based. If you object, we will no longer process your personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override the interests, rights and freedoms of the data subject, or if the processing is for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims (objection under Article 21(1) DSGVO).

Right to revoke consent under data protection law

You have the right to revoke your consent to the processing of personal data at any time. The revocation of consent does not affect the lawfulness of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent until the revocation.

Right to complain to a supervisory authority

Without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of your residence, place of work or the place of the alleged infringement, if you consider that the processing of personal data concerning you infringes the GDPR.

Data protection during applications and the application process

We offer you the opportunity to apply to us (e.g. by e-mail or post or via LinkedIn). In the following, we inform you about the scope, purpose and use of your personal data collected during the application process. We assure you that the collection, processing and use of your data will be in accordance with applicable data protection law and all other legal provisions and that your data will be treated as strictly confidential.

Scope and purpose of data collection

If you send us an application, we will process your associated personal data (e.g. contact and communication data, application documents, notes taken during interviews, etc.) to the extent necessary to decide whether to establish an employment relationship.

The legal basis for this is § 26 BDSG-neu according to German law (initiation of an employment relationship), Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b DSGVO (general contract initiation) and - if you have given your consent - Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO. The consent can be revoked at any time.

Your personal data will only be passed on within our company to persons who are involved in processing your application.

If the application is successful, the data submitted by you will be stored in our data processing systems on the basis of § 26 BDSG-neu and Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b DSGVO for the purpose of implementing the employment relationship.

Data retention period

If we are unable to make you a job offer, or if you reject a job offer or withdraw your application, we reserve the right to store the data you have provided on the basis of our legitimate interests (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO) for up to 6 months from the end of the application process (rejection or withdrawal of the application).

The data is then deleted and the physical application documents destroyed. Retention serves in particular as evidence in the event of a legal dispute. If it is apparent that the data will be required after the 6-month period has expired (e.g. due to an impending or pending legal dispute), the data will not be deleted until the purpose for continued storage no longer applies.

A longer storage can also take place if you have given a corresponding consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO) or if legal storage obligations oppose the deletion.

Analysis tools

Privacy policy on the use and application of Google Analytics (with anonymization function)

This website uses functions of the web analytics service Google Analytics. The provider is Google Ireland Limited ("Google"), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

Google Analytics uses so-called "cookies". These are text files that are stored on your computer and allow an analysis of your use of the website. The information generated by the cookie about your use of the website will be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States.

Legal basis of processing

The storage of "Goolge Analytics cookies" and the use of this tool are based on your consent in the context of consent management. The processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO. You can revoke or change your consent at any time in the consent management.

You can set your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies and only allow cookies in individual cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general and activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. If you disable cookies, the functionality of this website may be limited.

Google also processes your personal data in the USA. We would like to point out that the USA is considered by the European Court of Justice to be a country with an insufficient level of data protection according to EU standards. In this respect, there is a risk that your data may be processed by U.S. authorities for control and monitoring purposes, possibly without any legal recourse on your part. With your consent to the use of Google Analytics in the consent management, you also agree to such a transfer to the USA. In such a case, the transfer takes place on the basis of your consent to the use of Google cookies in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) in conjunction with Art. 49 (1) (a) DSGVO, since with the consent to the use of Google cookies, a data transfer to the USA cannot be excluded.

We do not pass on any personal data ourselves.

IP anonymization

We have activated the IP anonymization function on this website. This means that your IP address will be shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or in other states party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area before being transmitted to the USA. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of the website, compiling reports on website activity and providing other services relating to website activity and internet usage to the website operator. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.

Browser plugin

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. You can also prevent the collection of data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) to Google and the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de.

Job processing

We have concluded an order processing agreement with Google and fully implement the strict requirements of the German data protection authorities when using Google Analytics.

The Conference of the Independent Data Protection Authorities of the Federal Republic and the Länder (DSK) stated in its decision of 12 May 2020 that the data processed with Google Analytics is personal data within the meaning of the GDPR.

In the opinion of the data protection supervisory authorities, the processing of personal data in connection with Google Analytics is not commissioned processing pursuant to Art. 28 DSGVO. According to Art. 4 No. 7, Art. 28 (10) DSGVO, the controller must determine the purposes and means of the processing itself. From this follows the obligation of the processor to process the data exclusively on the instructions of the controller (Art. 29 DSGVO). When using Google Analytics, however, we as website operators do not determine the purposes and means of data processing alone. Rather, these are in part specified exclusively by Google, so that Google itself is responsible in this respect. The supervisory authorities clarify in this respect: "Although Google continues to offer a contract for commissioned processing, it also clarifies in the 'Google Measurement Controller-Controller Data Protection Terms' that Google and the user (website operator) are separately responsible for certain processing processes. Furthermore, Google clarifies in the terms of use that Google processes the data for its own purposes, in particular also for the purpose of providing its web analysis and tracking service. According to Article 28 (10) of the GDPR, Google is thus no longer a processor. Taking into account the current case law of the ECJ, Google and the Google Analytics user are jointly responsible for the data processing, so that the requirements of Article 26 DS-GVO must be observed."

We have entered into a shared responsibility agreement with Google.

We would also like to point out at this point that the DSK is subject to a future - possibly divergent - interpretation by the European Data Protection Board and the case law of the ECJ.

Demographic characteristics in Google Analytics

This website uses the "demographic characteristics" function of Google Analytics. This allows reports to be generated that contain statements about the age, gender and interests of site visitors. This data comes from interest-based advertising from Google as well as visitor data from third-party providers. 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 shown in the item "Objection to data collection".

The essence of joint responsibility

The agreements with Google on joint responsibility essentially mean that requests for information and the assertion of other data subjects' rights are sensibly asserted directly against Google. This is because as the provider of the social network and the possibility of integrating Google pages there, Google alone has direct access to the necessary information and can also take any necessary measures and provide information immediately. However, if our support is required, we can be contacted at any time.

Storage duration

Data stored by Google at user and event level that is linked to cookies, user identifiers (e.g. User ID) or advertising IDs (e.g. DoubleClick cookies, Android advertising ID) is deleted after 26 months. For details, please see the following link: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/7667196?hl=de

Cross-device remarketing

In addition, for online advertising purposes, based on an implementation of display advertising, this website uses the Google Analytics function of remarketing.

Our website uses the functions of Google Analytics Remarketing in conjunction with the cross-device functions of Google AdWords. The provider is Google Inc. 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.

This function makes it possible to link the advertising target groups created with Google Analytics Remarketing with the cross-device functions of Google AdWords. In this way, interest-based, personalized advertising messages that have been adjusted depending on your previous usage and surfing behavior on one end device (e.g. cell phone) can also be displayed on another of your end devices (e.g. tablet or PC).

If you have given your consent, Google will link your web and app browsing history with your Google account for this purpose. In this way, the same personalized advertising messages can be displayed on every device on which you log in with your Google account.

To support this feature, Google Analytics collects Google-authenticated IDs of users that are temporarily linked to our Google Analytics data to define and create audiences for cross-device ad advertising.

You can permanently opt-out of cross-device remarketing/targeting by disabling personalized advertising in your Google Account; follow this link: https://www.google.com/settings/ads/onweb/

Privacy policy on the use and application of Google Analytics 4

If you have given your consent, this website uses Google Analytics 4, a web analytics service provided by Google LLC. The responsible entity for users in the EU/EEA and Switzerland is Google Ireland Limited, Google Building Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland ("Google").

Scope of processing

Google Analytics uses cookies that enable an analysis of your use of our website. The information collected by means of cookies about your use of this website is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there.

We use the User ID function for this purpose. The User ID allows us to assign a unique, persistent ID to one or more sessions (and the activities within those sessions) and to analyze user behavior across devices.

In Google Analytics 4, the anonymization of IP addresses is activated by default. Due to IP anonymization, your IP address is shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transferred to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. According to Google, the IP address transmitted by your browser within the scope of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.

During your website visit, your user behavior is recorded in the form of "events". Events can be:

Processing purposes

On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of the website, and compiling reports on website activity. The reports provided by Google Analytics are used to analyze the performance of our website and the success of our marketing campaigns.

Receiver

Recipients of the data are/could be:

It cannot be ruled out that U.S. authorities will access the data stored by Google.

Third country transfer

Insofar as data is processed outside the EU/EEA and there is no level of data protection corresponding to the European standard, we have concluded EU standard contractual clauses with the service provider to establish an appropriate level of data protection. The parent company of Google Ireland, Google LLC, is based in California, USA. A transfer of data to the USA and access by US authorities to the data stored by Google cannot be ruled out. The USA is currently considered a third country from a data protection perspective. You do not have the same rights there as within the EU/EEA. You may not have any legal remedies against access by authorities.

Storage duration

The data sent by us and linked to cookies are automatically deleted after 2 [OR: 14 months]. The deletion of data whose retention period has been reached occurs automatically once a month.

Legal basis

The storage of "Google cookies" and the use of this tool Google Analytics 4 are based on your consent in the context of consent management. The processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO. You can revoke or change your consent at any time in the consent management.

Disclosure of data/data transmission

Google also processes your personal data in the USA. We would like to point out that the USA is considered by the European Court of Justice to be a country with an insufficient level of data protection according to EU standards. In this respect, there is a risk that your data may be processed by U.S. authorities for control and monitoring purposes, possibly without any legal recourse on your part. With your consent to the use of Google Analytics in the consent management, you also agree to such a transfer to the USA. In such a case, the transfer takes place on the basis of your consent to the use of Google cookies in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) in conjunction with Art. 49 (1) (a) DSGVO, since with the consent to the use of Google cookies, a data transfer to the USA cannot be excluded.

We do not pass on any personal data ourselves.

Revocation

You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future by calling up the cookie settings of the consent tool on the website and changing your selection there. The legality of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent until the revocation remains unaffected.

You can also prevent the storage of cookies from the outset by configuring your browser software accordingly. However, if you configure your browser to reject all cookies, this may limit the functionality of this and other websites. You can also prevent the collection of data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) to Google, as well as the processing of this data by Google, by clicking

Google Ads Conversion

This website uses Google AdWords. AdWords is an online advertising program of Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland ("Google").

Within the scope of Google AdWords, we use the so-called conversion tracking. We use the offer of Google Ads Conversion to draw attention to our attractive offers with the help of advertising media (so-called Google Ads) on external websites. We pursue the interest of showing you advertising that is of interest to you, to make our website more interesting for you and to achieve a fair calculation of advertising costs. When you click on an ad placed by Google, a cookie is set for conversion tracking. If the user visits certain pages of this website and the cookie has not yet expired, Google and we can recognize that the user clicked on the ad and was redirected to this page. The information collected using the conversion cookie is used to create conversion statistics for AdWords customers who have opted in to conversion tracking. We learn the total number of users who clicked on your ad and were redirected to a page tagged with a conversion tracking tag. However, we do not receive any information that personally identifies users.

We ourselves do not collect or process any personal data in the aforementioned advertising measures.

Due to the marketing tools used, your browser automatically establishes a direct connection with the Google server. We have no influence on the scope and further use of the data collected by Google through the use of this tool and therefore inform you according to our state of knowledge: Through the integration of Ads Conversions, Google receives the information that you have called up the corresponding part of our website or clicked on an ad from us. If you are registered with a Google service, Google can assign the visit to your account. Even if you are not registered with Google or have not logged in, there is the possibility that the provider learns your IP address and stores it.

Legal basis of processing

The storage of "Google cookies" and the use of this tool are based on your consent in the context of consent management. The processing is based exclusively on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO.

Disclosure

In this respect, there is a risk that your data may be processed by U.S. authorities for control and monitoring purposes, possibly without any legal remedy on your part. In such a case, the transfer takes place on the basis of your consent to the use of Google cookies in accordance with Article 6 (1) (a) in conjunction with Article 49 (1) (a) of the German Data Protection Act (DSGVO), as data transfer to the USA cannot be ruled out with the consent to the use of Google cookies.

Objection to data collection

If you do not wish to participate in the tracking, you can object to this use by deactivating the Google conversion tracking cookie via your internet browser under user settings. You will then not be included in the conversion tracking statistics.

YouTube stores your data as usage profiles and uses them for the purposes of advertising, market research, and/or needs-based design of its website. Such an evaluation is carried out in particular (even for users who are not logged in) for the provision of tailored advertising and to inform other users of the social network about your activities on our website. You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles, whereby you must contact YouTube to exercise this right.

Legal basis of processing

The storage of "YouTube cookies" and the use of this tool are based on your consent in the context of consent management. The processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO. You can revoke or change your consent at any time in the consent management.

Data sharing

Google/YouTube also processes your personal data in the USA. We would like to point out that the USA is considered by the European Court of Justice to be a country with an insufficient level of data protection according to EU standards. In this respect, there is a risk that your data may be processed by U.S. authorities for control and monitoring purposes, possibly without any legal remedy on your part. With your consent to the use of YouTube in the Consent Management, you also agree to such a transfer to the USA. In such a case, the transfer takes place on the basis of your consent to the use of YouTube cookies in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) in conjunction with Art. 49 (1) (a) DSGVO, since with the consent to the use of YouTube cookies, a data transfer to the USA cannot be excluded.

Use of script libraries

Google Fonts

In order to display our content correctly and in a graphically appealing manner across browsers, we use "Google Fonts" from Google LLC (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; hereinafter referred to as "Google") on our website to display fonts.

We have integrated this script library locally on our web server, so that no connection to Google is established when our website is called up and no "Google cookie" is set.

Legal basis of processing

The legal basis for the integration of Google Fonts is our legitimate interest in a correct and graphically appealing presentation of the website according to Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f DSGVO. Since we have integrated the script library locally on our own web server, there is no data transfer to Google. In this respect, no explicit consent is required from you for the use of Google Fonts.

Data sharing

Due to the local integration of the script library on our web server, no data is passed on to third parties.

Storage duration

We do not collect any personal data by embedding the script library locally on our server.

Other tools

Google Maps

We use Google Maps on this website to visually display geographical information and to provide directions. Google Maps is a mapping service operated by Google Ireland Limited, Google Building Gordon House, 4 Barrow Street, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland ("Google").

By using Google Maps, information about the use of this website, including your IP address and the (start) address entered as part of the route planner function, may be transmitted to Google LLC, headquartered at 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, California, USA.

When you visit a website that contains Google Maps, your browser establishes a direct connection with Google's servers. The map content is transmitted by Google directly to your browser, which then integrates it into the website.

To ensure data protection on our website, Google Maps is deactivated unless you give your active consent to the use of this service in our DataPrivacy tool. In this way, we prevent your data from being transferred to Google as soon as you enter our website.

The use of Google Maps is thus based on your express consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) a DSGVO, in that you expressly agree to its use.

We have no influence on the scope of the data collected by Google. According to our knowledge, this is at least the following data:

We also have no influence on the further processing and use of the data by Google and therefore cannot assume any responsibility for this.

We would like to point out that Google also processes your personal data in the USA. The USA has been assessed by the European Court of Justice as a country with an insufficient level of data protection according to EU standards. In this respect, there is a risk that your data may be processed by U.S. authorities for control and monitoring purposes, possibly without any legal remedy on your part. With your consent to the use of Google Maps (by deciding to switch to the pages of GoogleMaps), you also consent to a transfer of your data to the USA. In such a case, the transfer takes place on the basis of your consent to the use of Google Maps pursuant to Art. 6 (1) lit. a in conjunction with Art. 49 (1) lit. a DSGVO, since with the consent to the use of Google Maps, a data transfer to the USA cannot always be excluded.

We do not pass on any personal data ourselves.

For the purpose and scope of the data collection and the further processing and use of the data by Google, as well as your rights in this regard and setting options for protecting your privacy, please refer to Google's privacy policy (https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de).

Google rCAPTCHA

We use "Google reCAPTCHA" (hereinafter "reCAPTCHA") on our website. The provider is Google Ireland Limited, Grodon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland and Google Inc, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA ("Google").

The purpose of reCAPTCHA is to check whether data entry on our websites (e.g. in a contact form) is made by a human or by an automated program. For this purpose, reCAPTCHA analyzes the behavior of the website visitor based on various characteristics. This analysis begins automatically as soon as the website visitor enters the website.

For analysis, reCAPTCHA evaluates various information, e.g.

The data collected during the analysis is forwarded to Google.

The reCAPTCHA analyses run completely in the background. Website visitors are not notified that an analysis is taking place.

Storage of data and legal basis of processing:

The legal basis for the data processing is your explicit consent to the storage of the Google cookie for reCAPTCHA by Google.

The storage of the cookie and the use of this tool are based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DS-GVO (legitimate interest). Our legitimate interest is to protect the website from automated spying, abuse and SPAM. Nevertheless, we do not use Google reCAPTCHA without your explicit consent according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO.

Data transmission

Google also processes your personal data in the USA. We would like to point out that the USA is considered by the European Court of Justice to be a country with an insufficient level of data protection according to EU standards. In this respect, there is a risk that your data may be processed by U.S. authorities for control and monitoring purposes, possibly without any legal recourse on your part. With your consent to the use of Google Analytics in the consent management, you also agree to such a transfer to the USA. In such a case, the transfer takes place on the basis of your consent to the use of Google cookies in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) in conjunction with Art. 49 (1) (a) DSGVO, since with the consent to the use of Google cookies, a data transfer to the USA cannot be excluded.

We do not pass on any personal data ourselves.

Job processing

We have concluded an order processing contract with Google and fully implement the strict requirements of the German data protection authorities when using Google reCAPTCHA.

Storage duration

30 days (cookies)

9 or 18 months (log data)

Legal basis of processing1

Unless otherwise specified:

Article 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. a DS-GVO serves our company as the legal basis for processing operations in which we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose. If the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, as is the case, for example, with processing operations that are necessary for a delivery of goods or the provision of another service or consideration, the processing is based on Article 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. b DS-GVO. The same applies to such processing operations that are necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures, for example in cases of inquiries about our products or services. If our company is subject to a legal obligation by which a processing of personal data becomes necessary, such as for the fulfillment of tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. c DS-GVO. In rare cases, the processing of personal data might become necessary to protect vital interests of the data subject or another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor were to be injured on our premises and as a result his or her name, age, health insurance data or other vital information had to be passed on to a doctor, hospital or other third party. Then the processing would be based on Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. d DS-GVO.

Ultimately, processing operations could be based on Art. 6(1) sentence 1 lit. f DS-GVO. Processing operations which are not covered by any of the aforementioned legal bases are based on this legal basis if the processing is necessary for the protection of a legitimate interest of our company or a third party, provided that the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject are not overridden. Such processing operations are permitted to us in particular because they were specifically mentioned by the European legislator. In this respect, it took the view that a legitimate interest could be assumed if the data subject is a customer of the controller (recital 47 sentence 2 DS-GVO).

Legitimate interests in the processing pursued by the controller or a third party1

If the processing of personal data is based on Article 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. f DS-GVO, our legitimate interest is the performance of our business activities for the benefit of the well-being of all our employees and our shareholders.

Duration for which the personal data are stored1

The criterion for the duration of storage of personal data is the respective statutory retention period. After expiry of the period, the corresponding data is routinely deleted, provided that it is no longer required for the fulfillment or initiation of the contract.

Legal or contractual requirements to provide the personal data; necessity for the conclusion of the contract; obligation of the data subject to provide the personal data; possible consequences of non-provision1

We inform you that the provision of personal data is partly required by law (e.g. tax regulations) or may also result from contractual provisions (e.g. information on the contractual partner).

Sometimes, in order to conclude a contract, it may be necessary for a data subject to provide us with personal data that must subsequently be processed by us. For example, the data subject is obliged to provide us with personal data if our company concludes a contract with you. Failure to provide the personal data would mean that the contract with the data subject could not be concluded.

Before the data subject provides personal data, the data subject must contact the person responsible under 2 or our data protection officer under 3. We will inform the data subject on a case-by-case basis whether the provision of the personal data is required by law or contract or is necessary for the conclusion of the contract, whether there is an obligation to provide the personal data, and what the consequences of not providing the personal data would be.
