Thank you for your interest in our website. Your privacy protection is very important to us. Please find the detailed handling of your data outlined below.

 

1. Access data and hosting

 

Our website can be visited without providing any personal information. Each time a webpage is visited, the web server only automatically saves a server log file, which contains, for example, the name of the requested file, your IP address, the date and time of the request, the amount of data transferred and the requesting provider (access data) and documents the retrieval. This access data is analysed solely for the purpose of ensuring smooth operation of the website and improving our services. This serves to protect our legitimate interests in the correct presentation of our service, which outweighs our interests in the context of a consideration of interest in accordance with Art. 6 p. 1 S. 1 lit. f DSGVO. All access data is deleted no later than seven days after the end of your visit to the website.

Hosting

The services for hosting and displaying the website are partly provided by our service providers as part of a third-party processing on our behalf. Unless otherwise described in this Privacy Policy, all access data as well as all data collected in forms provided for this purpose on this website are processed on their servers. If you have any questions about our service providers and the basis of our cooperation with them, please use the contact option specified in this privacy policy.

 

2. Data processing for the purpose of contact and customer communication

 

We collect personal data if you voluntarily provide it to us when contacting us (e.g. via contact form or e-mail).

The data collected can be found in the respective input forms. We use the data you provide to process your inquiries in accordance with Art. 6 P. 1 S. 1 lit. b DSGVO. After the complete processing of your customer inquiry, your data will be deleted, unless you have expressly consented to further use of your data in accordance with Art. 6 P. 1 S. 1 lit. a DSGVO or we reserve the right to use data for purposes that further this, which is permitted by law and for which we hereby inform you of in this policy.

Other cookies remain on your end device and allow us to recognise your browser on your next visit (persistent cookies).

Protection of privacy for consumer devices

When our online services are used, we use technologies that are strictly necessary in order to be able to provide the telecommunications service that you have requested. The storage of information in your personal device or access to information that is already stored in your personal device does not require your consent.

For functions that are not strictly necessary, the storage of information in your terminal device or access to information that is already stored in your terminal device requires your consent. We would like to point out that if you do not give your consent, parts of the website may not be available for unrestricted use. Any consent you may have given will remain valid until you adjust or reset the respective settings in your personal device.

Data processing using cookies and other technologies

We use technologies that are mandatory for the use of certain functions of our website (e.g. preference settings of the website). Through these technologies, IP address, time of visit, device and browser information as well as information about your use of our website (e.g. information about your preferences) are collected and processed.

3.2 Use of Usercentrics Consent Management Platform to manage consent

 

On our website, we use the Usercentrics Consent Management Platform (“Usercentrics”) to inform you about the cookies and the other technologies we use on our website, as well as to obtain, manage and document your consent to the processing of your personal data by these technologies, as may be required by law. This is necessary in accordance with Art. 6 P. 1 lit. c DSGVO to fulfil our legal obligation under Art. 7 P. 1 DSGVO to be able to prove your consent to the processing of your personal data, to which we are subject. Usercentrics is an offer of Usercentrics GmbH, Sendlinger Straße 7, 80331 Munich, Germany which processes your data on our behalf.

4. Use of cookies and other technologies for web analysis and advertising purposes

 

Provided that you have given your consent to this in accordance with Art. 6 P. 1 S. 1 lit. a DSGVO, we use the following cookies and other technologies from third-party providers on our website. After the end of the purpose and the end of the use of the respective technology by us, the data collected in this context will be deleted.

4.1 Use of Google services for web analysis and advertising purposes

 

We use the technologies of Google Ireland Ltd, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (“Google”), as described below. The information automatically collected by Google technologies about your use of our website is transmitted to a server of Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043, USA and stored there. There is no EU data protection law for the USA from the European Commission. Our cooperation with them is based on standard data protection clauses of the European Commission.  If your IP address is collected via Google technologies, it is shortened by activating IP anonymisation before being stored on Google’s servers. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server and shortened there. Unless otherwise specified for the individual technologies, the data processing is based on an agreement concluded for the respective technology between jointly responsible parties in accordance with Art. 26 DSGVO. Further information about data processing by Google can be found in Google’s privacy policy.

Google Analytics

For the purpose of website analysis, Google Analytics automatically collects and stores data (IP address, time of visit, device and browser information, and information about your use of our website), from which usage profiles are created using pseudonyms. Cookies may be used for this purpose. As a matter of principle, your IP address will not be merged with other data from Google. Data processing is carried out on the basis of an order processing agreement by Google.

For the purpose of optimised marketing of our website, we have activated the data release settings for “Google products and services”. This allows Google to access the data collected and processed by Google Analytics and subsequently use it to improve Google services. Data sharing with Google under these data sharing settings is based on an additional agreement between responsible parties. We have no influence on the subsequent data processing by Google.

For web analysis, the Google Analytics Google Signals extension function enables “cross-device tracking”. Insofar as your internet-enabled devices are linked to your Google account and you have activated the “personalised advertising” setting in your Google account, Google can generate reports on your usage behaviour (esp. the cross-device user data), even if you change your terminal device. A processing of personal data by us does not take place in this respect, we only receive statistics generated on the basis of Google Signals.

Google Ads

For advertising purposes in Google search results as well as on third-party websites, the ‘Google Remarketing Cookie’ is set when you visit our website, which automatically enables interest-based advertising by collecting and processing data (IP address, time of visit, device and browser information as well as information about your use of our website) and by means of a pseudonymous CookieID and based on the pages you visit. Data processing beyond this only takes place if you have activated the “personalised advertising” setting in your Google account. In this instance, if you are logged in to Google while visiting our website, Google uses your data together with Google Analytics data to create and define target group lists for cross-device re-marketing.

For website analysis and event tracking, we measure your subsequent usage patterns via Google Ads Conversion Tracking if you have reached our website via an advertisement from Google Ads. For this purpose, cookies may be used and data (IP address, time of visit, device and browser information, and information about your use of our website based on events specified by us, such as visiting a website or subscribing to a newsletter) may be collected, from which usage profiles are created using pseudonyms.

Google Maps

For the visual presentation of geographical information, Google Maps collects data about your use of the Maps functions, in particular the IP address and location data, transmits it to Google and subsequently processes it by Google. We have no influence on this subsequent data processing.

Google reCAPTCHA

For the purpose of protection against misuse of our web forms as well as against spam by automated software (called Bots), Google reCAPTCHA collects data (IP address, time of visit, browser information as well as information about your use of our website) and performs an analysis of your use of our website by means of a so-called JavaScript as well as cookies. In addition, other cookies stored by Google services in your browser are evaluated. A transfer or storage of personal data from the input fields of the respective form does not take place.

Google Fonts

For the uniform presentation of the content on our website, data (IP address, time of visit, device and browser information) is collected by the script code “Google Fonts”, transmitted to Google and subsequently processed by Google. We have no influence on this subsequent data processing.

 

4.2 Information on third country transfer (data transfer to third countries)

 

We use technologies from service providers on our website whose server locations may be in third countries, outside the EU or EEA. This includes, among others, the USA. If, as in the case of the USA, there is no European Commission adequacy decision, an appropriate level of data protection must be ensured by means of other suitable guarantees. The ECJ ruled in July 2020 that the Privacy Shield agreement between the EU and the USA can no longer be used to transfer personal data to the USA. This means that the sectoral adequacy decision has thus been repealed.

Suitable guarantees in the form of contractually agreed standard contractual clauses of the EU Commission or binding internal data protection rules (Binding Corporate Rules) are possible in principle, but require a prior review by the contracting parties as to whether an adequate level of protection can be guaranteed. According to the ECJ ruling, it may be necessary to take additional protective measures for this purpose.

We have agreed in principle to the standard data protection clauses issued by the EU Commission that remain valid with the third-party technologies we use that process personal data in a third country such as the USA. Where possible, we also agree on additional safeguards to ensure that sufficient data protection is guaranteed in the USA or other third countries.

Irrespective of this, it may happen that, despite all contractual and technical measures, the level of data protection in the third country does not correspond to that in the EU. For these cases, we ask you, if necessary, in the context of the cookie consent, for your consent in accordance with Art. 49 P. 1 lit. a DSGVO for the transfer of your personal data to a third country. This refers in particular to the transfer of data to the USA.

There is a particular risk that (US) authorities may not have sufficiently limited access rights to your personal data from an EU perspective without us as data exporter or you as a data subject being aware of this and you may not have any legal remedies to prevent this or to take action against such access.
