Some functions of our website cannot be offered without the use of technically necessary cookies. Other cookies, on the other hand, enable us to perform various analyses.

With the help of cookies, we can, among other things, make our website more user-friendly and effective for you, for example by tracking your use of our website and determining your preferred settings (e.g. country and language settings). If third parties process information via cookies, they collect the information directly from your browser. Cookies do not cause any damage to your end device. They cannot execute programs or contain viruses. Various types of cookies are used on our website, the type and function of which are explained in more detail below.

Type 1: Transient cookies
Our website uses transient cookies, which are automatically deleted as soon as you close your browser. This type of cookie makes it possible to record your session ID.

You can also delete cookies already stored in your browser via your browser settings. Furthermore, it is possible to set your browser to notify you before cookies are stored. Since the various browsers may differ in their respective functionalities, we ask you to use the respective help menu of your browser for the configuration options.

§ 8 Tracking and analysis tools

We use tracking and analysis tools to ensure the ongoing optimization and needs-based design of our website. With the help of tracking measures, it is also possible for us to statistically record the use of our website by visitors and to further develop our online offering for you with the help of the knowledge gained as a result. Based on these interests, the use of the tracking and analysis tools described below is justified pursuant to Art. 6 (1) p. 1 lit. f DSGVO. If you have given us your consent to the use of cookies on the basis of a notice (“cookie banner”) issued by us on the website, the lawfulness of the use is additionally based on Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. a DSGVO. The following description of the tracking and analysis tools also shows the respective processing purposes and the processed data. You can change your selection of tracking and analysis tools in the cookie settings at any time and thus activate them.

Google Analytics

Our website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountainview, CA 94043 USA (“Google”). Google Analytics uses “cookies”, which are text files placed on your computer, to help the website analyze how users use the site.

The information generated by these cookies, for example about the time, place and frequency of your use of this website, is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. When using Google Analytics, it cannot be ruled out that the cookies set by Google Analytics may also collect other personal data in addition to the IP address. Please note that Google may transfer this information to third parties where required to do so by law, or where such third parties process the information on Google’s behalf.

Google will use the information generated by cookies on behalf of the operator of this website 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. According to Google, the IP address transmitted by your browser within the scope of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.

You can generally prevent cookies from being stored by setting your browser software accordingly. However, we would like to point out that in this case you may not be able to use all functions of this website to their full extent.

It cannot be ruled out that the cookies set by Google Analytics may collect further personal data in addition to the IP address. To prevent information about your use of the website from being collected by Google Analytics and transmitted to Google Analytics, you can, in addition to the above-mentioned option of deactivating tracking cookies, download and install a plugin for your browser at the following link: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de.

This plugin prevents information about your visit to the website from being transmitted to Google Analytics. Any other analysis is not prevented by this plugin.

To ensure the best possible protection of your personal data, Google Analytics has been extended on this website with the code “anonymizeIp”. This code causes the last 8 bits of the IP addresses to be deleted and your IP address is thus recorded anonymously (so-called IP masking). Your IP address will be shortened by Google before transmission within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area and thus anonymized. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there.

Google AdWords

We use the technology “Google AdWords” and specifically the included conversion tracking. Google Conversion Tracking is an analysis service of Google Inc, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. If you click on an ad placed by Google, a cookie for conversion tracking is stored on your PC. The cookies are valid for 30 days and are not used for personal identification. If you visit certain pages of our website when the cookie has not yet expired, Google and also we can recognize that you have clicked on a certain ad and have been redirected to this page. Google AdWords customers each receive a different cookie. Thus, it is not possible to track cookies through the websites of AdWords customers.

The data collected using the conversion cookie is used to create conversion statistics for AdWords customers who use conversion tracking. In doing so, customers learn the number of users who clicked on their ad and were subsequently redirected to a page tagged with a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not receive any information that can be used to personally identify the users.

If you do not wish to participate in conversion tracking, you can prevent this by making the appropriate setting in your browser, e.g. by generally preventing the installation of cookies. You can also deactivate cookies for conversion tracking by setting your browser to only block cookies from the web address “googleadservices.com”.

§ 9 Hyperlinks

On our website there are so-called hyperlinks to websites of other providers. When activating these hyperlinks, you will be redirected from our website directly to the website of the other provider. You will recognize this, among other things, by the change of URL. We cannot accept any responsibility for the confidential handling of your data on these third-party websites, as we have no influence on whether these companies comply with data protection regulations. Please inform yourself about the handling of your personal data by these companies directly on these websites.

§ 10 Use of Facebook social plugins

We use social plugins (“plugins”) of the social network facebook.com on the basis of our legitimate interests (i.e. interest in the analysis, optimization and economic operation of our online offer within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f. DSGVO) social plugins (“plugins”) of the social network facebook.com, which is operated by Facebook Ireland Ltd, 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland (“Facebook”). The plugins can display interaction elements or content (e.g. videos, graphics or text contributions) and are recognizable by one of the Facebook logos (white “f” on blue tile, the terms “Like”, “Like” or a “thumbs up” sign) or are marked with the addition “Facebook Social Plugin”. You can view the list and appearance of Facebook social plugins here: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/.

Facebook is certified under the Privacy Shield agreement and thereby offers a guarantee of compliance with European data protection law (https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt0000000GnywAAC&status=Active).

When a user calls up a function of this online offer that contains such a plugin, his or her device establishes a direct connection with the Facebook servers. The content of the plugin is transmitted by Facebook directly to the user’s device and integrated by the latter into the online offer. In the process, usage profiles of the users can be created from the processed data. We therefore have no influence on the scope of the data that Facebook collects with the help of this plugin and therefore inform users according to our level of knowledge.

By integrating the plugins, Facebook receives the information that a user has accessed the corresponding page of the online offer. If the user is logged into Facebook, Facebook can assign the visit to his Facebook account. If users interact with the plugins, for example by clicking the Like button or posting a comment, the corresponding information is transmitted from your device directly to Facebook and stored there. If a user is not a member of Facebook, there is still the possibility that Facebook will learn and store his or her IP address. According to Facebook, only an anonymized IP address is stored in Germany.

The purpose and scope of the data collection and the further processing and use of the data by Facebook, as well as the related rights and settings options for protecting the privacy of users, can be found in the privacy policy of Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/.

If a user is a Facebook member and does not want Facebook to collect data about him/her via this online offer and link it to his/her membership data stored with Facebook, he/she must log out of Facebook and delete his/her cookies before using our online offer. Further settings and objections to the use of data for advertising purposes are possible within the Facebook profile settings: https://www.facebook.com/settings/?tab=your_facebook_information or via the US-American site http://www.aboutads.info/choices/ or the EU-Site http://www.youronlinechoices.com/. The settings are platform-independent, i.e. they are applied to all devices, such as desktop computers or mobile devices.

§ 11 YouTube

We integrate videos of the platform “YouTube” of the provider Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. The corresponding privacy policy can be found here:  Opt-Out:  

§ 12 XING Plugin

Our website uses functions of the XING network. The provider is XING AG, Dammtorstraße 29-32, 20354 Hamburg, Germany.

When a page with integrated Xing functions is called up, a connection to the Xing servers is established. As far as we are aware, no personal data is stored in this process. IP addresses are not stored, nor is usage behavior evaluated.

Details on data protection and the XING Share button can be found in XING’s privacy policy at:

https://www.xing.com/app/share?op=data_protection.

§ 13 Disclosure of data

We will only pass on your personal data to third parties if:

you have given your express consent to this in accordance with Art. 6 (1) p. 1 lit. a DSGVO

this is legally permissible and necessary for the fulfillment of a contractual relationship with you according to Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. b DSGVO

there is a legal obligation for the transfer according to Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. c DSGVO

the disclosure is necessary according to Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. f DSGVO for the protection of legitimate business interests, as well as for the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims and there is no reason to assume that you have an overriding interest worthy of protection in the non-disclosure of your data.

§ 14 Data subject rights

The following rights arise from the DSGVO for you as a data subject of a processing of personal data:

According to Art. 15 DSGVO, you can request information about your personal data processed by us. In particular, you can request information about the processing purposes, the categories of personal data, the categories of recipients to whom your data has been or will be disclosed, the planned storage period, the existence of a right to rectification, erasure, restriction of processing or objection, the existence of a right of complaint, the origin of your data if it has not been collected by us, about a transfer to third countries or international organizations, and about the existence of automated decision-making, including profiling, and, if applicable, meaningful information about its details.

• Pursuant to Art. 16 DSGVO, you may request the correction of incorrect data or the completion of your data stored by us without undue delay.

• Pursuant to Art. 17 DSGVO, you may request the erasure of your personal data stored by us, unless the processing is necessary for the exercise of the right to freedom of expression and information, for compliance with a legal obligation, for reasons of public interest, or for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims.

• Pursuant to Art. 18 DSGVO, you may request the restriction of the processing of your personal data insofar as the accuracy of the data is disputed by you, the processing is unlawful, we no longer need the data and you object to their deletion because you need them for the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims. You also have the right under Art. 18 DSGVO if you have objected to the processing in accordance with Art. 21 DSGVO.

• Pursuant to Art. 20 DSGVO, you may request to receive your personal data that you have provided to us in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format, or you may request that it be transferred to another controller.

• In accordance with Art. 7 (3) DSGVO, you may revoke your consent at any time. This has the consequence that we may no longer continue the data processing based on this consent for the future.

In the case of direct marketing, you have a general right of objection, which is implemented by us without specifying a particular situation.

§ 16 Right of revocation

Some data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. A revocation of your already given consent is possible at any time. An informal communication by e-mail is sufficient for the revocation. The legality of the data processing carried out until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

§ 17 Data security and security measures

We undertake to protect your privacy and to treat your personal data confidentially. In order to prevent manipulation, loss or misuse of your data stored with us, we take extensive technical and organizational security precautions, which are regularly reviewed and adapted to technological progress. This includes, among other things, the use of recognized encryption methods (SSL or TLS). However, we would like to point out that, due to the structure of the Internet, it is possible that the rules of data protection and the above-mentioned security measures are not observed by other persons or institutions not within our sphere of responsibility. In particular, data disclosed in unencrypted form – e.g. if this is done by e-mail – can be read by third parties. We have no technical influence on this. It is the user’s responsibility to protect the data he or she provides against misuse by encrypting it or in any other way.

§ 18 Deletion of data

The data processed by us will be deleted or restricted in its processing in accordance with Articles 17 and 18 DSGVO. Unless expressly stated within the scope of this data protection declaration, the data stored by us will be deleted as soon as they are no longer required for their intended purpose and the deletion does not conflict with any statutory retention obligations. If the data is not deleted because it is required for other and legally permissible purposes, its processing will be restricted. I.e. the data is blocked and not processed for other purposes. This applies, for example, to data that must be retained for reasons of commercial or tax law.

According to legal requirements in Germany, data is stored for 10 years in accordance with §§ 147 para. 1 AO, 257 para. 1 nos. 1 and 4, para. 4 HGB (books, records, management reports, accounting vouchers, commercial books, documents relevant for taxation, etc.) and 6 years according to § 257 para. 1 nos. 2 and 3, para. 4 HGB (commercial letters).

§ 19 Cookie Consent Tool

We use the “Real Cookie Banner” consent tool to manage the cookies and similar technologies used (tracking pixels, web beacons, etc.) and the relevant consents. Details on how “Real Cookie Banner” works can be found at <a href=”https://devowl.io/de/rcb/datenverarbeitung/” rel=”noreferrer” target=”_blank”>https://devowl.io /de/rcb/datenverarbeitung/</a>.

The legal basis for the processing of personal data in this context is Art. 6 (1) (c) GDPR and Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest is the management of the cookies and similar technologies used and the relevant consents.

The provision of personal data is neither contractually required nor necessary for the conclusion of a contract. You are not obliged to provide the personal data. If you do not provide the personal data, we cannot manage your consents.
