USE OF COOKIES

Detailed information about the cookies we use can be found in the cookie settings in the footer of our website. You can also change your cookie settings there at any time.

We distinguish between two main categories of cookies: (1) Technically necessary cookies, which are essential for browsing the website and using its functions, and (2) Optional cookies (e.g., analytics cookies, targeting cookies, functionality cookies), which are used for website analysis, personalization, and marketing purposes. Necessary cookies are required for the website to function properly. Cookies are small text files that your browser automatically creates and stores on your device (e.g., laptop, tablet, smartphone) when you visit our site. Information related to the specific device used is stored in the cookie. However, this does not mean that we gain direct knowledge of your identity. The use of cookies aims to make the use of our services more convenient for you. For example, we use session cookies to recognize that you have visited individual pages of our website before. These are automatically deleted after you leave our website.

We also use temporary cookies for user-friendliness purposes, which are stored on your device for a specified period. If you visit our site again to use our services, it is automatically recognized that you have been with us before and what inputs and settings you have made, so you do not have to enter them again.

Due to their importance for the functioning of the website, you cannot reject necessary cookies. We base the related processing of personal data on § 25 Abs. 2 No. 2 TTDSG and Art. 6 Abs. 1 Sentence 1 lit. b GDPR, providing our services by contract.

Additionally, with your consent (§ 25 Abs. 1 TTDSG and Art. 6 Abs. 1 Sentence 1 lit. a GDPR), we use third-party cookies (so-called Third-Party Cookies) to statistically capture the use of our website and for the purpose of optimizing our offering and displaying information tailored specifically to you. These cookies enable us to recognize that you have already been with us upon a repeat visit to our website. These cookies are automatically deleted after a specified period. You can revoke your consent at any time without disadvantages and with effect for the future. Please adjust your cookie settings accordingly.

Most browsers accept cookies automatically. You can configure your browser so that no cookies are stored on your device, or a message always appears before a new cookie is created. However, the complete deactivation of cookies may result in not being able to use all the functions of our website fully.

DATA PROCESSING WHEN CONTACTING US

When you contact us via email, phone, or letter, the data you provide (e.g., your email address, possibly your name, and phone number and/or your address) is stored by us to answer your questions.

The data you provide for the purpose of contacting us is stored by us to enable communication with you (legal basis is § 25 Abs. 2 No. 2 TTDSG and Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 f) GDPR).

PROCESSED DATA WHEN USING SOCIAL MEDIA

The following social media pages are jointly operated by us and the respective network operators:

LinkedIn: LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company Wilton Place, Dublin 2, D02 AD98 Ireland ("LinkedIn")

Agreements on Shared Responsibility

Together with the network operators, we have entered into agreements regarding shared responsibility. Among other things, these agreements set out the terms and conditions for using our social media pages. You can view the key provisions of these agreements on the respective providers’ websites. The following agreements apply in each case:

LinkedIn: [Page Insights Joint Controller Addendum]

Data Processing

When visiting our social media pages, personal data of the page visitors is processed by us and the network operators as follows:

LinkedIn: In connection with operating our LinkedIn profile, we use LinkedIn Page Analytics. This provides us with information about the use of our content. Further privacy information for the LinkedIn platform can be found in the [privacy policy] of LinkedIn.

Purposes of Processing

The processing of this information serves the following purposes:

  • Improvement of Advertising: Network operators can optimize their advertising system distributed through their networks.

  • Statistics and Market Analysis: We can receive anonymized statistics on users of our social media pages to manage our marketing activities.

  • Demographic and Geographic Evaluations: Based on the collected information in anonymized form, demographic and geographic evaluations are created and made available to us. We can use this information, for example, to place targeted interest-based advertisements.

  • Communication and Interaction: We use our social media pages to communicate with our customers, prospects, and users and to provide information about our service offerings.

Legal Basis

We operate our social media pages based on our legitimate interests in an optimized corporate and product presentation (Art. 6 Abs. 1 Sentence 1 lit. f GDPR).

Data Sharing

When using LinkedIn, your data may be processed outside the European Union, particularly in the USA. Generally, an adequate level of data protection is required for data transfers to the USA. Since the social media platforms used here have their headquarters in the USA and are certified according to the DPF (more details in the section "Recipients of Personal Data and Data Transfer to Third Countries"), it can be assumed that a level of data protection comparable to the GDPR is ensured.

How Can You Exercise Your Rights as a Data Subject?

You can generally assert your data protection rights (detailed in our section "Rights of Data Subjects and Contact Information") in relation to the data processing by our social media page both against us and the operator. However, we would like to point out that these rights can be most effectively asserted with the operator. Only the provider of the social network has access to the users' data and can therefore take appropriate measures and provide information directly.

What Options Do You Have to Object to Data Processing?

The exact options for objection differ depending on the platform. Below is an overview: LinkedIn: [Here] you can object to the processing. Additionally, there is a [form to object to LinkedIn data processing].

USE OF SOCIAL MEDIA PLUG-INS

If you have given us your consent, we use the following social media plug-ins:

  • LinkedIn

  • YouTube

  • Vimeo

Through the plug-ins, we offer you the opportunity to interact with social networks and other users. This allows us to improve our offering and make it more interesting for you as a user. The legal basis for using the plug-ins is § 25 Abs. 1 TTDSG and Art. 6 Abs. 1 Sentence 1 lit. a GDPR (consent).

When using social media plug-ins, we use the so-called two-click solution: When you visit our website, the plug-ins are not fully integrated into the website. This ensures that a connection to the provider of the social network is only established if you click on the plug-in button. Your data is protected by pseudonyms and cannot be linked to your name. After the connection is established, we have no influence on the type and scope of data collected and processed by the provider; for information on this, please refer to the privacy notices of the respective provider.

Further information on the purpose and scope of data collection and processing by the plug-in provider can be found in the privacy statements provided below. There you will also find further information on your rights in this regard and settings options for protecting your privacy:

  • LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company Wilton Place, Dublin 2, D02 AD98 Ireland ("LinkedIn"); [privacy policy].

  • Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, D04 E5W5 Ireland ("YouTube"); [privacy policy].

  • Vimeo, Inc., 330 West 34th Street, 5th Floor, New York 10001, USA (“Vimeo”); [Privacy Policy].

When using LinkedIn, YouTube, and Vimeo, your data may be processed outside the European Union, especially in the USA. An adequate level of data protection is generally required for data transfers to the USA. Since the mentioned social media have their headquarters in the USA and are certified according to the DPF (more details in the section "Recipients of Personal Data and Data Transfer to Third Countries"), it can be assumed that a level of data protection comparable to the GDPR is ensured.

You can withdraw your consent at any time for the future without fear of disadvantages. To do this, please change your cookie settings. You can find these in the footer of this website.

GOOGLE ANALYTICS

If you have given us your consent, we use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, D04 E5W5 Ireland (a company of Google Inc. based at 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA). We use Google Analytics based on your consent (§ 25 Abs. 1 TTDSG and Art. 6 Abs. 1 Sentence 1 lit. a GDPR) to analyze how you and other users use our website and to create corresponding reports. In particular, your IP address is processed, and cookies are used.

Consent Mode (Advanced Mode)

We have integrated GA4 so that the so-called "Consent Mode (Advanced Mode)" is used. This means:

  • No consent: If you do not consent to the use of analysis tools, Google Analytics does not set tracking cookies. Only minimal data (so-called "consent-denied pings") is sent to Google, which does not allow a clear identification of your person.

  • Granted consent: If you agree to the use of analysis cookies, cookies are set, with the help of which Google can analyze your user behavior (e.g., visited pages, length of stay, possible conversions).

Google will then evaluate the information in connection with your use of our website (e.g., the referring URL, the pages you visit, your browser type, your language settings, your operating system, your screen resolution) on our behalf. For this purpose, we use the cookies described in more detail in the Privacy Preference Center. Since we have activated IP anonymization on our website, your IP address is shortened by Google within member states of the European Union before being transmitted. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there (more information on the purpose and scope of data collection can be found in Google's privacy policy). The respective results are made available to us in anonymized form. Your usage data is not linked to your full IP address in this process. By default, the GA4 cookies persist for 2 years. The data we send and link to cookies is automatically deleted after 14 months.

When transmitting your personal data to Google, it is stored on Google's servers, which may also be located in the USA. An adequate level of data protection is generally required for data transfers to the USA. Since Google is certified according to the DPF (more details in the section "Recipients of Personal Data and Data Transfer to Third Countries"), it can be assumed that a level of data protection comparable to the GDPR is ensured.

You can revoke your consent to the use of web analysis at any time by either downloading and installing the provided Google browser plugin or revoking your consent in the cookie settings, which will then set an opt-out cookie. Both options prevent the use of web analysis only as long as you use the browser on which you have installed the plugin and do not delete the opt-out cookie.

Further information about Google Analytics can be found in the Google Analytics Terms of Service, the privacy guidelines of Google Analytics, and the Google Privacy Policy.

GOOGLE TAG MANAGER

This website uses Google Tag Manager. Google Tag Manager is a solution from Google Inc. that allows companies to manage website tags through an interface. The Google Tag Manager tool does not use cookies and does not collect personal data. The tool triggers other tags, which may, in turn, collect data. Google Tag Manager does not access this data. If a deactivation has been carried out at the domain or cookie level, it remains for all tracking tags implemented by Google Tag Manager.

RECIPIENTS OF PERSONAL DATA; DATA TRANSFER TO THIRD COUNTRIES

Within our company, access to personal data is restricted to those departments that require it to fulfil the purposes set out above, such as staff in IT, marketing, product management, compliance or internal audit.

Reporting of Side Effects

If we become aware of possible side effects of one of our products, we are legally obliged to document the relevant information, including personal data, and share it with authorities worldwide and, if necessary for further assessment, contact the reportees.

Enforcement of Rights

To protect our rights or those of third parties, we may share data with rights holders, advisors, and authorities.

External Service Providers for Data Processing

We collaborate with service providers who assist us in delivering our services. These may include, in particular, IT service providers, hosting providers, cloud service providers, marketing agencies, analytics service providers and the technical operators of our websites. These service providers process your data on our behalf, in accordance with our instructions, and under our supervision exclusively for the purposes described in this privacy policy. These service providers may also be based outside the European Union. We will take all necessary steps to ensure that the data you provide is adequately protected in accordance with the data protection laws of the European Union. Where necessary, we ensure an adequate level of data protection with the help of EU standard contractual clauses.

If the European Commission has adopted a decision on an adequate level of data protection for the respective third country (see Art. 45 Abs. 3 GDPR), no additional measures are required for the data transfer. The European Commission has adopted such an adequacy decision about the Transatlantic Data Privacy Framework (DPF). The DPF is a framework agreement between the European Union and the USA that aims to ensure the protection of personal data in transatlantic data transfers. Companies that certify themselves can transmit data to the USA. The list of companies can be found [here].
