(usually referred to just as "data" below) will only be processed by
us to the extent necessary and for the purpose of providing a functional and
user-friendly website, including its contents, and the services offered there.
Per Art. 4 No. 1
of Regulation (EU) 2016/679, i.e. the General Data Protection Regulation
(hereinafter referred to as the "GDPR"), "processing"
refers to any operation or set of operations such as collection, recording,
organization, structuring, storage, adaptation, alteration, retrieval,
consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination, or otherwise
making available, alignment, or combination, restriction, erasure, or
destruction performed on personal data, whether by automated means or not.
The following
privacy policy is intended to inform you in particular about the type, scope,
purpose, duration, and legal basis for the processing of such data either under
our own control or in conjunction with others. We also inform you below about
the third-party components we use to optimize our website and improve the user
experience which may result in said third parties also processing data they
collect and control.
Our privacy
policy is structured as follows:

II. The rights of users and data
subjects
With regard to
the data processing to be described in more detail below, users and data
subjects have the right
- to confirmation of whether data concerning them is being processed, information about the data being processed, further information about the nature of the data processing, and copies of the data (cf. also Art. 15 GDPR);
- to correct or complete incorrect or incomplete data (cf. also Art. 16 GDPR);
- to the immediate deletion of data concerning them (cf. also Art. 17 DSGVO), or, alternatively, if further processing is necessary as stipulated in Art. 17 Para. 3 GDPR, to restrict said processing per Art. 18 GDPR;
- to receive copies of the data concerning them and/or provided by them and to have the same transmitted to other providers/controllers (cf. also Art. 20 GDPR);
- to file complaints with the supervisory authority if they believe that data concerning them is being processed by the controller in breach of data protection provisions (see also Art. 77 GDPR).
In addition, the
controller is obliged to inform all recipients to whom it discloses data of any
such corrections, deletions, or restrictions placed on processing the same per
Art. 16, 17 Para. 1, 18 GDPR. However, this obligation does not apply if such notification
is impossible or involves a disproportionate effort. Nevertheless, users have a
right to information about these recipients.
Likewise,
under Art. 21 GDPR, users and data subjects have the right to object to the
controller's future processing of their data pursuant to Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f)
GDPR. In particular, an objection to data processing for the purpose of direct
advertising is permissible.
III. Information about the data
processing
Your data
processed when using our website will be deleted or blocked as soon as the
purpose for its storage ceases to apply, provided the deletion of the same is
not in breach of any statutory storage obligations or unless otherwise
stipulated below.
Server data
For technical
reasons, the following data sent by your internet browser to us or to our
server provider will be collected, especially to ensure a secure and stable
website: These server log files record the type and version of your browser,
operating system, the website from which you came (referrer URL), the webpages
on our site visited, the date and time of your visit, as well as the IP address
from which you visited our site.
The data thus
collected will be temporarily stored, but not in association with any other of
your data.
The basis for
this storage is Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in
the improvement, stability, functionality, and security of our website.
The data will be
deleted within no more than seven days, unless continued storage is required
for evidentiary purposes. In which case, all or part of the data will be
excluded from deletion until the investigation of the relevant incident is
finally resolved.
Cookies
a) Session cookies
We use cookies
on our website. Cookies are small text files or other storage technologies
stored on your computer by your browser. These cookies process certain specific
information about you, such as your browser, location data, or IP address.
This processing
makes our website more user-friendly, efficient, and secure, allowing us, for
example, to display our website in different languages or to offer a shopping
cart function.
The legal basis
for such processing is Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b) GDPR, insofar as these cookies
are used to collect data to initiate or process contractual relationships.
If the
processing does not serve to initiate or process a contract, our legitimate
interest lies in improving the functionality of our website. The legal basis is
then Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f) GDPR.
When you close
your browser, these session cookies are deleted.
b) Third-party cookies
If necessary,
our website may also use cookies from companies with whom we cooperate for the
purpose of advertising, analyzing, or improving the features of our website.
Please refer to
the following information for details, in particular for the legal basis and
purpose of such third-party collection and processing of data collected through
cookies.
c) Disabling cookies
You can refuse
the use of cookies by changing the settings on your browser. Likewise, you can
use the browser to delete cookies that have already been stored. However, the
steps and measures required vary, depending on the browser you use. If you have
any questions, please use the help function or consult the documentation for
your browser or contact its maker for support. Browser settings cannot prevent
so-called flash cookies from being set. Instead, you will need to change the
setting of your Flash player. The steps and measures required for this also
depend on the Flash player you are using. If you have any questions, please use
the help function or consult the documentation for your Flash player or contact
its maker for support.
If you prevent
or restrict the installation of cookies, not all of the functions on our site
may be fully usable.
Contact
If you contact
us via email or the contact form, the data you provide will be used for the
purpose of processing your request. We must have this data in order to process
and answer your inquiry; otherwise we will not be able to answer it in full or
at all.
The legal basis
for this data processing is Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b) GDPR.
Your data will
be deleted once we have fully answered your inquiry and there is no further
legal obligation to store your data, such as if an order or contract resulted
therefrom.
Online job applications / publication
of job advertisements
We offer you the
opportunity to apply for jobs with our company via our website. In the case of
these digital applications, we collect your application data electronically in
order to process your application.
The legal basis
for this processing is §26 Para. 1 S. 1 BDSG in conjunction with Art. 88 Para.
1 GDPR.
If you are hired
as a result of the application process, we will store the data you provide
during the application process in your personnel file for the purpose of the
usual organizational and administrative process, naturally in compliance with
further legal obligations.
The legal basis
for this processing is §26 Para. 1 S. 1 BDSG in conjunction with Art. 88 Para.
1 GDPR.
If we do not
hire you, we will automatically delete the data submitted to us two months
after the final decision is made. We will not delete the data, however, if we
must store the data for legal reasons such as evidence of equal treatment of
applicants, until any legal action is concluded, or four months.
In this case,
the legal basis is Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f) GDPR and §24 Para. 1 No. 2 BDSG. Our
legitimate interest lies in any legal defense we may have to mount .
If you expressly
consent to a longer storage of your data, e.g. for your inclusion in a database
of applicants or interested parties, the data will be processed further on the
basis of your consent. The legal basis is then Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a) GDPR. You
may withdraw your consent at any time with future effect per Art. 7 Para. 3
GDPR with future effect.
LinkedIn
We maintain an
online presence on LinkedIn to present our company and our services and to
communicate with customers/prospects. LinkedIn is a service of LinkedIn Ireland
Unlimited Company, Wilton Plaza, Wilton Place, Dublin 2, Irland, a subsidiary
of LinkedIn Corporation, 1000 W. Maude Avenue, Sunnyvale, CA 94085, USA.
We would like to
point out that this might cause user data to be processed outside the European
Union, particularly in the United States. This may increase risks for users
that, for example, may make subsequent access to the user data more difficult.
We also do not have access to this user data. Access is only available to
LinkedIn.
The LinkedIn
privacy policy can be found here:
https://www.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy
Facebook
To advertise our
products and services as well as to communicate with interested parties or
customers, we have a presence on the Facebook platform.
On this social
media platform, we are jointly responsible with Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand
Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbor, Dublin 2, Ireland.
The data
protection officer of Facebook can be reached via this contact form:
https://www.facebook.com/help/contact/540977946302970
We have defined
the joint responsibility in an agreement regarding the respective obligations
within the meaning of the GDPR. This agreement, which sets out the reciprocal
obligations, is available at the following link:
https://www.facebook.com/legal/terms/page_controller_addendum
The legal basis
for the processing of the resulting and subsequently disclosed personal data is
Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in the analysis,
communication, sales, and promotion of our products and services.
The legal basis
may also be your consent per Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR granted to the platform
operator. Per Art. 7 para. 3 GDPR, you may revoke this consent with the
platform operator at any time with future effect.
When accessing
our online presence on the Facebook platform, Facebook Ireland Ltd. as the
operator of the platform in the EU will process your data (e.g. personal
information, IP address, etc.).
This data of the
user is used for statistical information on the use of our company presence on
Facebook. Facebook Ireland Ltd. uses this data for market research and
advertising purposes as well as for the creation of user profiles. Based on
these profiles, Facebook Ireland Ltd. can provide advertising both within and
outside of Facebook based on your interests. If you are logged into Facebook at
the time you access our site, Facebook Ireland Ltd. will also link this data to
your user account.
If you contact
us via Facebook, the personal data your provide at that time will be used to
process the request. We will delete this data once we have completely responded
to your query, unless there are legal obligations to retain the data, such as
for subsequent fulfillment of contracts.
Facebook Ireland
Ltd. might also set cookies when processing your data.
If you do not
agree to this processing, you have the option of preventing the installation of
cookies by making the appropriate settings in your browser. Cookies that have
already been saved can be deleted at any time. The instructions to do this
depend on the browser and system being used. For Flash cookies, the processing
cannot be prevented by the settings in your browser, but instead by making the
appropriate settings in your Flash player. If you prevent or restrict the
installation of cookies, not all of the functions of Facebook may be fully
usable.

processing activities, their suppression, and the deletion of the data
processed by Facebook can be found in its privacy policy:

It cannot be
excluded that the processing by Facebook Ireland Ltd. will also take place in
the United States by Facebook Inc., 1601 Willow Road, Menlo Park, California
94025.
Social media links via graphics
We also
integrate the following social media sites into our website. The integration
takes place via a linked graphic of the respective site. The use of these
graphics stored on our own servers prevents the automatic connection to the
servers of these networks for their display. Only by clicking on the
corresponding graphic will you be forwarded to the service of the respective
social network.
Once you click,
that network may record information about you and your visit to our site. It
cannot be ruled out that such data will be processed in the United States.
Initially, this
data includes such things as your IP address, the date and time of your visit,
and the page visited. If you are logged into your user account on that network,
however, the network operator might assign the information collected about your
visit to our site to your personal account. If you interact by clicking Like,
Share, etc., this information can be stored your personal user account and
possibly posted on the respective network. To prevent this, you need to log out
of your social media account before clicking on the graphic. The various social
media networks also offer settings that you can configure accordingly.
The following
social networks are integrated into our site by linked graphics:

Google Analytics
We use Google
Analytics on our website. This is a web analytics service provided by Google
Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Irland (hereinafter:
Google).
The Google
Analytics service is used to analyze how our website is used. The legal basis
is Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in the analysis,
optimization, and economic operation of our site.
Usage and
user-related information, such as IP address, place, time, or frequency of your
visits to our website will be transmitted to a Google server in the United
States and stored there. However, we use Google Analytics with the so-called
anonymization function, whereby Google truncates the IP address within the EU
or the EEA before it is transmitted to the US.
The data
collected in this way is in turn used by Google to provide us with an
evaluation of visits to our website and what visitors do once there. This data
can also be used to provide other services related to the use of our website
and of the internet in general.
Google states
that it will not connect your IP address to other data. In addition, Google
provides further information with regard to its data protection practices at
https://www.google.com/intl/de/policies/privacy/partners,
including
options you can exercise to prevent such use of your data.
In addition,
Google offers an opt-out add-on at
https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en
in addition with
further information. This add-on can be installed on the most popular browsers
and offers you further control over the data that Google collects when you
visit our website. The add-on informs Google Analytics' JavaScript (ga.js) that
no information about the website visit should be transmitted to Google
Analytics. However, this does not prevent information from being transmitted to
us or to other web analytics services we may use as detailed herein.
Google-Maps
Our website uses
Google Maps to display our location and to provide directions. This is a
service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin
4, Irland (hereinafter: Google).
To enable the
display of certain fonts on our website, a connection to the Google server in
the USA is established whenever our website is accessed.
If you access
the Google Maps components integrated into our website, Google will store a
cookie on your device via your browser. Your user settings and data are
processed to display our location and create a route description. We cannot
prevent Google from using servers in the USA.
The legal basis
is Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in optimizing the
functionality of our website.
By connecting to
Google in this way, Google can determine from which website your request has
been sent and to which IP address the directions are transmitted.
If you do not
agree to this processing, you have the option of preventing the installation of
cookies by making the appropriate settings in your browser. Further details can
be found in the section about cookies above.
In addition, the
use of Google Maps and the information obtained via Google Maps is governed by
the Google Terms of Use https://policies.google.com/terms?gl=DE&hl=en and the Terms and Conditions for Google Maps https://www.google.com/intl/de_de/help/terms_maps.html.
