Data protection notice

We would like to use the information below to provide you “data subject” with an overview of our processing of your personal data and your rights under data protection law. It is generally possible to use our website without entering personal data. However, if you wish to make use of special services offered by our company through our website, it may be necessary to process personal data. If it is necessary to process personal data and there is no legal basis for such processing, we will generally obtain your consent.

This Privacy Notice is based on the terminology used by the European legislature and legislature in the adoption of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Our privacy policy should be easy to read and understand, both for the public and for our customers and business partners. To ensure this, we would like to explain in advance the terminology used. Among other things, we use the following terms in this privacy policy.

We use the following terms in this Privacy Notice, among others:

  1. Personal data: Personal data means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. An identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person.
  1. Data subject: A Data subject is any identified or identifiable natural person whose personal data is processed by the controller (our company).
  1. Processing: Processing is any operation or set of operations which is performed upon personal data, whether or not by automatic means, such as collection, recording, organisation, filing, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure or destruction.
  1. Restriction of processing: Restriction of processing is the marking of stored personal data with the aim of limiting their future processing.
  1. Profiling: Profiling is any form of automated processing of personal data which consists in using such personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to analyse or predict aspects relating to that natural person’s performance at work, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behaviour, location or change of location.
  1. Pseudonymisation: Pseudonymisation is the processing of personal data in such a way that the personal data can no longer be attributed to a specific data subject without the use of additional information, provided that such additional information is kept separately and is subject to technical and organisational measures which ensure that the personal data cannot be attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.
  1. Data processor: Data processor means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which processes personal data on behalf of the controller.
  1. Recepient: A recipient is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or other body to whom personal data are disclosed, whether a third party or not. However, public authorities that may receive personal data in the context of a specific investigative task under Union or Member State law shall not be considered as recipients.
  1. Third party: Third party means any natural or legal person, public authority, agency or body other than the data subject, the controller, the processor and the persons who, under the direct responsibility of the controller or the processor, are authorised to process the personal data.
  1. Consent: Consent means any freely given specific and informed indication of the data subject’s wishes in the form of a statement or other unambiguous affirmative act by which the data subject signifies his or her agreement to the processing of personal data relating to him or her.

2 Details on the processing of personal data

Art. 6 (1) lit. a) GDPR (icw § 25 (1) Telecommunications Digital Services Data Protection Act (TDDDG) (formerly TTDSG)) serves our company as the legal basis for processing operations where we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose.

If the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which you are a party, as is the case, for example, with processing operations that are necessary for the delivery of goods or the provision of another service or consideration, the processing is based on Art. 6 (1) lit. b) GDPR. The same applies to processing operations that are necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures, for example in the case of enquiries about our products or services.

If our company is subject to a legal obligation by which the processing of personal data becomes necessary, such as for the fulfilment of tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6 (1) lit. c) GDPR.

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 their name, age, health insurance data or other vital information had to be passed on to a doctor, hospital or other third party. In this case, the processing would be based on Art. 6 (1) lit. d) GDPR.

Finally, processing operations could be based on Art. 6 (1) lit. f) GDPR. 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 do not overweigh. We are permitted to carry out such processing operations in particular because they have been specifically mentioned by the European law. In this respect, the legislature took the view that a legitimate interest could be assumed if you are a customer of our company (Recital 47, Sentence 2 GDPR).

Our offer is inherently aimed at adults. Persons under 16 years of age may not transmit any personal data to us without the consent of their parents or legal guardians. We do not request personal data from children and adolescents, do not collect it and do not pass it on to third parties.

Your personal data will not be conveyed to third parties for purposes other than those listed below.

We will only share/convey your personal data with third parties if:

  1. you have given us your express consent to do so in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. a) GDPR,
  2. the disclosure is permissible in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. f) GDPR to protect our legitimate interests and there is no reason to assume that you have an overriding interest worthy of protection in the non-disclosure of your data,
  3. in the event that a legal obligation exists for the disclosure pursuant to Art. 6 (1) lit. c) GDPR, as well as

In the context of the processing operations described in this privacy statement, personal data may be transferred to the USA. Companies in the USA only have an adequate level of data protection if they have certified themselves under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework and thus the adequacy decision of the EU Commission pursuant to Art. 45 GDPR applies. We have explicitly mentioned this in the privacy policy for the service providers concerned. In order to protect your data in all other cases, we have concluded commissioned processing agreements based on the standard contractual clauses of the European Commission. If the standard contractual clauses are not sufficient to establish an adequate level of security, your consent can serve as the legal basis for the transfer to third countries in accordance with Article 49 (1) a) of the GDPR. This sometimes does not apply in the case of a data transfer to third countries for which the European Commission has issued an adequacy decision pursuant to Art. 45 of the GDPR.

Your personal data will not be conveyed to third parties for purposes other than those listed below.

We will only share/convey your personal data with third parties if:

  1. you have given us your express consent to do so in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. a) GDPR,
  2. the disclosure is permissible in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. f) GDPR to protect our legitimate interests and there is no reason to assume that you have an overriding interest worthy of protection in the non-disclosure of your data,
  3. in the event that a legal obligation exists for the disclosure pursuant to Art. 6 (1) lit. c) GDPR, as well as
  4. this is legally permissible and necessary according to Art. 6 (1) lit. b) GDPR for the processing of contractual relationships with you.

In the context of the processing operations described in this privacy statement, personal data may be transferred to the USA. Companies in the USA only have an adequate level of data protection if they have certified themselves under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework and thus the adequacy decision of the EU Commission pursuant to Art. 45 GDPR applies. We have explicitly mentioned this in the privacy policy for the service providers concerned. In order to protect your data in all other cases, we have concluded commissioned processing agreements based on the standard contractual clauses of the European Commission. If the standard contractual clauses are not sufficient to establish an adequate level of security, your consent pursuant to Article 49 (1) a) of the GDPR may serve as the legal basis for the transfer to third countries. This sometimes does not apply in the case of a data transfer to third countries for which the European Commission has issued an adequacy decision pursuant to Article 45 of the GDPR.

We process and store your personal data only for the period of time necessary to meet the storage purpose or as required by the legal provisions to which our company is subject.

If the storage purpose no longer applies or if a required retention period expires, personal data will be routinely blocked or erased in accordance with the statutory provisions.

The criterion for the duration of the retention of personal data is the respective legal retention period. Once this period expires, the data in question will be routinely erased, provided it is no longer required for the fulfilment or initiation of the contract.

3 Technology

This site uses SSL or TLS encryption to guarantee the security of data processing and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders, login data or contact enquiries that you send to us as the operator. You can recognise an encrypted connection by the fact that the address bar of the browser contains a “https://” instead of a “http://” and by the lock symbol in your browser bar.

We use this technology to protect your transmitted data.

If you only use our website for informational purposes, if you do not register or otherwise provide us with information or do not give your consent to processing that requires consent, we only collect data that is technically necessary for the provision of the service. This is regularly data that your browser transmits to our server (in so-called “server log files”). Our website collects a series of general data and information each time you or an automated system accesses a page. This general data and information is stored in the server log files. The following can be recorded:

  1. browser types and versions used,
  2. the operating system used by the accessing system,
  3. the website from which an accessing system reaches our website (so-called referrer),
  4. the sub-websites which are accessed via an accessing system on our website,
  5. the date and time of access to the website,
  6. a shortened Internet Protocol address (anonymized IP address) and,
  7. the Internet service provider of the accessing system.

When using this general data and information, we do not draw any conclusions about your person. Rather, this information is required in order to:

  1. to deliver the content of our website correctly,
  2. optimize the content of our website and the advertising for it,
  3. to ensure the permanent functionality of our IT systems and the technology of our website and
  4. to provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for prosecution in the event of a cyber-attack.

This collected data and information is therefore evaluated by us both statistically and with the aim of increasing data protection and data security in our company in order to ultimately ensure an optimum level of protection for the personal data processed by us. The anonymous data of the server log files are stored separately from all personal data provided by a data subject.

The legal basis for data processing is Art. 6 (1) lit. f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest follows from the purposes for data collection listed above.

Our website uses functions from CloudFlare. The provider is CloudFlare, Inc. 665 3rd St. #200, San Francisco, CA 94107, USA.

CloudFlare offers a globally distributed Content Delivery Network with DNS. Technically, the information transfer between your browser and our website is routed via CloudFlare’s network. CloudFlare is thus able to analyse the data traffic between users and our websites, for example, in order to detect and ward off attacks on our services. In addition, CloudFlare may store cookies on your computer for optimisation and analysis purposes.

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 deactivate cookies, the functionality of this website may be limited.

We have concluded a corresponding agreement with Cloudflare on the basis of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) for commissioned processing or in accordance with the EU standard contractual clauses. Cloudflare collects statistical data about visits to this website. These include: Name of the accessed website, file, date and time of access, amount of data transferred, notification of successful access, browser type and version, the user’s operating system, referrer URL (the previously visited page), IP address and the requesting provider. Cloudflare uses the described log data for statistical evaluations for the purpose of the operation, security and optimisation of the offer.

If you have consented to Cloudflare being used, the legal basis for the processing of personal data is Art. 6 (1) lit. a) GDPR. In addition, we have a legitimate interest in using Cloudflare to optimise our online offer and make it more secure. The corresponding legal basis for this is Art. 6 (1) lit. f) GDPR. The personal data will be retained for as long as they are required to fulfil the purpose of the processing. The data will be deleted as soon as they are no longer required to achieve the purpose.

This US company is certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework. There is hereby an adequacy decision pursuant to Art. 45 GDPR, so that a transfer of personal data may also take place without further guarantees or additional measures.

We host our website at Mittwald CM Service GmbH & Co. KG, Königsberger Straße 4-6, 32339 Espelkamp (hereafter referred to as Mittwald).

When visiting our website your personal data (e.g. IP addresses in log files) are processed on the servers of Mittwald.

The use of Mittwald is based on Art. 6 (1) lit. f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest is the high-performance provision of our website.

4 Cookies

We use cookies on our website. Cookies are small files that are automatically created by your browser and stored on your IT system (laptop, tablet, smartphone or similar) when you visit our website.

Information generated from the specific device used is stored in cookies. This does not mean, however, that we will gain immediate knowledge of your identity.

The use of cookies helps us make it more convenient for you to use our website. For example, we use session cookies to detect whether you have already visited individual pages on our website. These are erased automatically when you leave our website.

In addition, we also use temporary cookies to optimise user-friendliness, which are stored on your end device for a specific period of time. If you visit our site again to use our services, it is automatically recognised that you have already been with us and which entries and settings you have made so that you do not have to enter them again.

We also use cookies to statistically record the use of our website and to evaluate our offer for you for the purpose of optimisation. These cookies enable us to automatically recognise that you have already visited our website when you visit it again. The cookies set in this way are automatically deleted after a defined period of time. The respective storage period of the cookies can be found in the settings of the consent tool used.

The data processed by the cookies, which are required for the proper functioning of the website, are thus necessary to protect our legitimate interests as well as those of third parties in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. f) GDPR.

For all other cookies, the following applies: You have given your consent to this within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) lit. a) GDPR via our opt-in cookie banner.

We use the consent management tool “Usercentrics” from Usercentrics GmbH, Sendlinger Str. 7, 80331 Munich, Germany. This service enables us to obtain and manage the consent of website users for data processing.

Usercentrics collects data generated by end users who use our website. When an end user gives consent, Usercentrics automatically logs the following data:

  • Browser information.
  • Date and time of access.
  • Device information.
  • The URL of the page visited.
  • Geographical location.
  • Page path of the website.
  • The consent status of the end user, which serves as proof of consent.

The consent status is also stored in the end user’s browser so that the website can automatically read and follow the end user’s consent in all subsequent page requests and future end user sessions for up to 12 months. Consent data (consent and withdrawal of consent) is stored for three years. The retention period corresponds to the regular limitation period according to § 195 of the German Civil Code (Bürgerliches Gesetzbuch [BGB]). The data is then deleted immediately or passed on to the responsible person in the form of a data export upon request.

The functionality of the website is not guaranteed without the described processing. There is no possibility of objection for the user as long as there is a legal obligation to obtain the user’s consent to certain data processing operations (Art. 7 (1), 6 (1) lit. c) GDPR).

Usercentrics is a recipient of your personal data and acts as a processor for us.

Additional information on the service can be found at the following link: https://usercentrics.com/privacy-policy/

 

5 Contents of our website

Personal data is collected when contacting us (e.g. via contact form or e-mail). Which data is collected in the case of the use of a contact form can be seen from the respective contact form. This data is stored and used exclusively for the purpose of answering your request or for contacting you and the associated technical administration. The legal basis for processing the data is our legitimate interest in responding to your request in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. f) GDPR. If your contact is aimed at concluding a contract, the additional legal basis for processing is Art. 6 (1) lit. b) GDPR. Your data will be deleted after final processing of your request; this is the case if it can be inferred from the circumstances that the matter concerned has been conclusively clarified and the deletion does not conflict with any legal obligations to retain data.

We collect and process the personal data of applicants for the purpose of processing the application procedure. The processing may also take place electronically. This is particularly the case if an applicant submits the relevant application documents to us electronically, for example by e-mail or via a web form on the website. If we conclude an employment or service contract with an applicant, the transmitted data will be stored for the purpose of processing the employment relationship in compliance with the statutory provisions. If we do not conclude a contract with the applicant, the application documents are automatically deleted six months after notification of the rejection decision, provided that no other legitimate interests on our part oppose deletion. Another legitimate interest in this sense is, for example, a duty to provide evidence in proceedings under the German Equal Treatment Act (Allgemeines Gleichbehandlungsgesetz [AGG]).

The legal basis for processing your data is Art. 6 (1) lit. b) GDPR, Art. 88 GDPR icw § 26 (1) German Federal Data Protection Act (Bundesdatenschutzgesetz [BDSG]).

On our website, you can log in to create a customer account or register using the social plugin “Facebook Connect” of the social network Facebook, which is operated by Meta Platforms Inc. (formerly Facebook Inc.), 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA (“Meta”), within the scope of the so-called single sign-on technology, if you have a Facebook profile. You can recognise the social plugins from “Facebook Connect” on our website by the blue button with the Facebook logo and the inscription “Log in with Facebook” or “Connect with Facebook”. “Connect with Facebook” or “Log in with Facebook” or “Sign in with Facebook”.

When you view a page of our website that contains such a plugin, your browser establishes a direct connection to Meta’s servers. The content of the plugin is transmitted by Facebook directly to your browser and integrated into the page. Through this integration, Facebook receives the information that your browser has called up the corresponding page of our website, even if you do not have a Facebook profile or are not currently logged in to Facebook. This information (including your IP address) is transmitted by your browser directly to a Meta server in the USA and stored there. These processing operations are only carried out if you have given your express consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. a) GDPR.

By using this “Facebook Connect”-button on our website, you also have the option of logging in or registering on our website using your Facebook user data. Only if you give your express consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. a) GDPR prior to the registration process on the basis of a corresponding notice about the exchange of data with Facebook, do we receive the general and publicly accessible information stored in your profile from Facebook when using the “Facebook Connect” button, depending on your personally made data protection settings at Facebook. This information includes the user ID, name, profile picture, age and gender.

Please note that following changes to Facebook’s privacy policy and terms of use, consent may also result in the transfer of your profile pictures, friends’ user IDs and friends list if these have been marked as “public” in your privacy settings on Facebook. The data transmitted by Facebook will be stored and processed by us for the creation of a user account with the necessary data, if these have been released by you on Facebook for this purpose (title, first name, last name, address data, country, e-mail address, date of birth). Conversely, data (e.g. information on your surfing or purchasing behaviour) may be transferred from us to your Facebook profile on the basis of your consent.

The consent given can be revoked at any time by sending a message to the responsible person named at the beginning of this Privacy Policy.

For the purpose and scope of the data collection and the further processing and use of the data by Facebook, as well as your rights in this regard and setting options for protecting your privacy, please refer to Facebook’s privacy policy: https://www.facebook.com/policy.php

This US company is certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework. There is hereby an adequacy decision pursuant to Art. 45 GDPR, so that a transfer of personal data may also take place without further guarantees or additional measures.

Personal data is only processed via social media buttons after your express consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. a) GDPR.

If you do not want Facebook to assign the data collected via our website directly to your Facebook profile, you must log out of Facebook before visiting our website. You can also completely prevent the loading of Facebook plugins with add-ons for your browser, e.g. with “Adblock Plus” (https://adblockplus.org/de/).

6 Newsletters

On our website you are given the opportunity to subscribe to our company newsletter. What personal data is transmitted to us when ordering the newsletter, is determined by the input mask used for this purpose.

We use our newsletter to regularly communicate our offers to our customers and business partners. You can, therefore, only receive our companys newsletter if

  1. You have a valid e-mail address and
  2. You have registered for newsletter delivery.

For legal reasons, a confirmation e-mail will be sent to the e-mail address that you entered for the first time for the newsletter dispatch using the double opt-in procedure. This confirmation e-mail is used to verify that you, as the owner of the e-mail address, have authorized the receipt of the newsletter.

When you register for the newsletter, we also store the IP address assigned by your Internet service provider (ISP) of the IT system used by you at the time of registration, as well as the date and time of registration. The collection of this data is necessary in order to be able to trace the (possible) misuse of your e-mail address at a later date and therefore serves our legal protection.

The personal data collected in the context of a registration for the newsletter will be used exclusively for sending our newsletter. Furthermore, subscribers to the newsletter could be informed by e-mail if this is necessary for the operation of the newsletter service or a related registration, as could be the case in the event of changes to the newsletter offer or changes in technical circumstances. No personal data collected as part of the newsletter service will be passed on to third parties. The subscription to our newsletter can be cancelled by you at any time. The consent to the storage of personal data that you have given us for the newsletter dispatch can be revoked at any time. For the purpose of revoking the consent, you will find a corresponding link in each newsletter. Furthermore, it is also possible to unsubscribe from the newsletter mailing directly on our website at any time or to inform us of this in another way.

The legal basis for data processing for the purpose of sending newsletters is Art. 6 (1) lit. a) GDPR.

Our newsletters contain so-called tracking pixels. A tracking pixel is a miniature graphic that is embedded in such e-mails that are sent in HTML format to enable log file recording and log file analysis. This allows a statistical evaluation of the success or failure of online marketing campaigns. By means of the embedded tracking pixel, the company can see if and when an e-mail was opened by you and which, in the e-mail located links were called by you.

Such personal data collected via the tracking pixels contained in the newsletters are stored and evaluated by us in order to optimize the newsletter dispatch and to better adapt the content of future newsletters to your interests. This personal data will not be passed on to third parties. Data subjects are entitled at any time to revoke the separate declaration of consent given in this regard via the double opt-in procedure. After a revocation, this personal data will be deleted by us. We automatically interpret a withdrawal from the receipt of the newsletter as a revocation.

Such an evaluation is carried out in particular in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. f) GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interests in the insertion of personalized advertising, market research and/or needs-based design of our website.

7 Our activities in social networks

To allow us to communicate with you on social networks and inform you about our services, we run our own pages on these social networks. If you visit one of our social media pages, we and the provider of the social media network are joint controllers (Art. 26 GDPR) regarding to the processing operations triggered thereby, which concern personal data.

We are not the original provider of these pages, but only use them within the scope of the options offered to us by the respective providers

We would therefore like to point out as a precautionary measure that your data may also be processed outside of the European Union or the European Economic Area. Use of these networks may therefore involve data protection risks for you since the protection of your rights may be difficult, e.g. your rights to information, erasure, objection, etc. Processing on social networks frequently takes place directly for advertising purposes or for the analysis of user behaviour by network providers, and we have no control over this. If the provider creates user profiles, cookies are often used or user behaviour may be assigned directly to your own member profile on the respective social network (if you are logged in).

The processing operations of personal data described are carried out in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. f) GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interests and the legitimate interests of the respective provider in order to communicate with you in a timely manner or to inform you about our services. If you have to grant your consent to the respective providers to process your data as a user, the legal basis for this processing is Art. 6 (1) lit. a) GDPR in conjunction with Art. 7 GDPR.

Since we have no access to these providers? databases, we would like to point out that you would be best placed to exercise your rights (e.g. to information, rectification, erasure, etc.) directly with the respective provider. More information on the processing of your data on social networks and your options for exercising your right to object or your right of revocation (opt out) is listed below for each of the social network providers we use:

8 Social media plugins

Our websites use social plugins from the providers listed below. You can recognize the plugins by the fact that they are marked with the corresponding logo.

Through these plugins, information, which may also include personal data, is sent to the service provider under certain circumstances and may be used by the service provider. We prevent the unconscious and unintentional collection and transmission of data to the service provider through a 2-click solution. To activate a desired social plugin, it must first be activated by clicking on the corresponding button. Only this activation of the plugin also triggers the collection of information and its transmission to the service provider. We ourselves do not collect any personal data by means of the social plugins or about their use.

We have no influence on what data an activated plugin collects and how it is used by the provider. Currently, it must be assumed that a direct connection to the services of the provider is established and that at least your IP address and device-related information is collected and used. Likewise, there is the possibility that the service providers attempt to store cookies on the computer used. Which specific data is collected and how it is used, please refer to the privacy policy of the respective service provider.

We have integrated the social media buttons of the following companies on our website:

  • Facebook Plugin
  • LinkedIn Plugin
  • XING Plugin
  • YouTube Plugin

The use of 2-Click is based on our legitimate interest (Art. 6 (1) lit. f) GDPR) in integrating social media buttons for the purpose of visibility and communication with groups of interested parties, while ensuring the legality of the integration. A processing of personal data by means of the social media buttons takes place exclusively after your explicit consent according to Art. 6 (1) lit. a) GDPR by means of the 2-click-solution

9 Web analysis

This website uses the ?meta pixel? of Meta Platforms, Inc, 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA (“Meta”). If explicit consent is given, this allows the behaviour of users to be tracked after they have seen or clicked on a Meta advertisement. This process is used to evaluate the effectiveness of the advertisements for statistical and market research purposes and can help to optimise future advertising measures.

When you visit the website, the following data may be processed by the meta pixel:

  • IP address,
  • Device information,
  • Browsing history,
  • Interactions on our website (e.g. page views, clicks, conversions)

This website uses functionalities provided by the service HubSpot. The provider is HubSpot, Inc., 25 First Street, Cambridge, MA 02141, USA.

Various HubSpot services may be used as part of this website ? in particular, a content management system (CMS), contact forms, as well as tracking and analytics features.

Website content may be delivered via the HubSpot CMS. In this context, technical access data (e.g. IP address, time of access, requested content) is transmitted to HubSpot servers. This processing is carried out for the technical provision of the website, based on Art. 6 (1) lit. f) GDPR.

If you complete a form, the email address you provide is used to associate the submission with an existing contact profile, provided such a profile already exists in HubSpot. If you have also consented to the use of HubSpot tracking cookies, previous website visits may likewise be linked to the contact profile. The processing takes place on the basis of your consent pursuant to Art. 6 (1) lit. a) GDPR.Where you give your consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. a) GDPR, HubSpot sets cookies to analyze your user behavior. On your first visit, HubSpot checks whether a tracking cookie is already present ? if not, and subject to your consent, a cookie will be set. This enables your visits to our website and any form submissions to be linked together.

Please note the following specific aspects of HubSpot tracking:

  • Your visit to our website will only be tracked using the HubSpot cookie if you have given your consent to the use of the HubSpot cookie or all tracking cookies.
  • If you complete and submit one of the forms on our website (e.g. a contact form) and have consented to the HubSpot cookie, HubSpot will associate your previous page visits (as recorded via the tracking cookie) with the submitted form.
  • If you have already been in contact with us, the email address you provide via the form will be matched with information already stored about you.
  • If you delete all your cookies, or specifically the HubSpot cookies, you will be treated as a new visitor to our website and a new cookie will be set. However, HubSpot will automatically deduplicate all form submissions coming from the same email address, even if they originate from different browser cookies.
  • Since cookies are only set once per browser, submissions from two individuals sharing the same device may be assigned to the same contact entry. This cookie-based deduplication also ensures that submissions from different email addresses by the same person are consolidated into a single contact record in HubSpot.
  • HubSpot assigns page views to a contact if the individual clicks on a link in a tracked marketing email that leads to a page where the HubSpot tracking code is installed.

If you are logged in to Vimeo, Vimeo can directly assign the visit to our website to your Vimeo account. If you interact with the plugins (such as pressing the start button of a video), this information is also transmitted directly to a server of Vimeo and stored there.

For videos from Vimeo that are embedded on our site, the tracking tool Google Analytics is automatically integrated. This is a separate tracking of Vimeo, to which we have no access and which can not be influenced by our site. Google Analytics uses so-called “cookies” for tracking. These are text files that are stored on your computer and enable 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.

These processing operations are carried out exclusively when explicit consent is given in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. a) GDPR.

We have integrated components of YouTube on this website. The operating company of YouTube is YouTube, LLC, 901 Cherry Ave, San Bruno, CA 94066, USA. YouTube, LLC is a subsidiary of Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

If you are logged in to YouTube at the same time, YouTube recognizes which specific subpage of our website you are visiting when you call up a subpage that contains a YouTube video. This information is collected by YouTube and Google and assigned to your YouTube account.

YouTube and Google always receive information via the YouTube component that you have visited our website if you are logged into YouTube at the same time as calling up our website; this takes place regardless of whether you click on a YouTube video or not. If you do not want this information to be transmitted to YouTube and Google, you can prevent the transmission by logging out of your YouTube account before accessing our website.

Some subpages of our website contain links to YouTube.

In general, we are not responsible for the content of websites to which links are provided. In the event that you follow a link to YouTube, however, we would like to point out that YouTube stores the data of its users (e.g. personal information, IP address) in accordance with its own data usage guidelines and uses it for business purposes.

The operating company of YouTube is YouTube, LLC, 901 Cherry Ave, San Bruno, CA 94066, USA. YouTube, LLC is a subsidiary of Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

On some subpages of our websites, we also directly integrate videos stored on YouTube. With this integration, content from the YouTube website is displayed in parts of a browser window. When you call up a (sub-)page of our website on which YouTube videos are embedded, a connection is established to the YouTube servers and the content is displayed on the website by informing your browser.

YouTube content is only integrated in “extended data protection mode”. YouTube itself provides this mode and thus ensures that YouTube does not initially save any cookies on your device. However, when the relevant pages are called up, the IP address and, if applicable, other data are transmitted and, in particular, which of our websites you have visited. However, this information cannot be assigned to you unless you have logged in to YouTube or another Google service before accessing the page or are permanently logged in.

As soon as you start the playback of an embedded video by clicking on it, YouTube only saves cookies on your device through the extended data protection mode, which do not contain any personally identifiable data, unless you are currently logged in to a Google service.

These cookies can be prevented by appropriate browser settings and extensions.

Requesting the video also constitutes your consent for the placement of the corresponding cookie (Art. 6 (1) lit. a) GDPR).

This US company is certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework. There is hereby an adequacy decision pursuant to Art. 45 GDPR, so that a transfer of personal data may also take place without further guarantees or additional measures.
