General information on the processing of personal data

Types of data processed

On our website, we collect and process inventory data (e.g. names, addresses), contact data (e.g. e-mail addresses, telephone numbers, fax numbers, postal address), usage data (e.g. websites visited, links clicked on, interest in content, access times, access locations), content data (e.g. comments, text entries, photos, videos) and meta and communication data (e.g. device information, browser information, IP addresses).

Categories of data subjects

The persons affected by the processing of personal data are all visitors and users of our website.

Purpose of the processing

We collect and process the personal data of the users of our website in order to communicate with you and to inform you (e.g. contact and other inquiries, newsletters) and, if necessary, to carry out statistics, coverage measurement and analyses (e.g. with marketing and analysis tools), so that we can better design and optimize content and functions, to technically manage and optimize the website and to close security gaps.

Legal basis for the processing of personal data

We only process personal data if we are entitled to do so on the basis of a legal basis. In the following we will name these legal bases individually. Otherwise, we are always entitled to process personal data if the person concerned has given his or her consent (see Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a, Art. 7 DS-GVO), if we are obliged to fulfil contractual or pre-contractual obligations (see Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b DS-GVO), when we must fulfil legal obligations (see Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. c DS-GVO) or when we safeguard our legitimate interests (see Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f DS-GVO).

Recipients of personal data

We sometimes transfer personal data to contract processors or other third parties (e.g. hosting agencies etc.) with whom we work together. We are entitled to do so if the data subject has consented to this (see Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a, Art. 7 DS-GVO), if we are thereby fulfilling contractual or pre-contractual obligations (see Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b DS-GVO), if we are thereby fulfilling a legal obligation (see Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. c DS-GVO) or if we are protecting our legitimate interests (see Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f DS-GVO). We conclude a so-called contract processing agreement with contract processors in accordance with Art. 28 DS-GVO, according to which they also undertake to comply with data protection.

Hosting

This website is hosted on the servers of Hetzner Online GmbH. The hosting services used by us serve to provide the following services: Infrastructure and platform services, computing capacity, storage space and database services, security services and technical maintenance services which we use for the purpose of operating this website. The legal basis for the use of hosting services is the protection of our legitimate interests in the analysis, optimisation and economic and secure operation of our website (see Art. 6 Paragraph 1 Sentence 1 lit. f DS-GVO).

Our hosting provider processes personal data for this purpose. The data is stored for as long as there is a purpose for it. Afterwards the data will be deleted, unless this is contrary to statutory storage obligations.

Integration of third party services and content

On the basis of our legitimate interests (i.e. interest in the analysis, optimisation and economic operation of our website in accordance with Art. 6 Paragraph 1 Sentence 1 lit. f DS-GVO), we use content or service offers from third parties within our website to integrate their content and services, such as videos or fonts (hereinafter referred to uniformly as “content”).

This always presupposes that the third-party providers of these contents are aware of the IP address of the users, as without the IP address they would not be able to send the contents to their browsers. The IP address is therefore necessary for the display of this content. We make every effort to use only such content whose respective providers use the IP address only to deliver the content. Third party providers may also use so-called pixel tags (invisible graphics, also known as “web beacons”) for statistical or marketing purposes. The “pixel tags” can be used to evaluate information such as visitor traffic on the pages of this website. The pseudonymous information may also be stored in cookies on the user’s device and may contain technical information about the browser and operating system, referring websites, visiting time and other details about the use of our online offer, as well as being linked to such information from other sources.

Processing of personal data in third countries

If data is transferred by us to a third country, e.g. because we employ service providers there, we are entitled to do so if the data subject has consented to this (see Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a, Art. 7 DS-GVO), if we are fulfilling contractual or pre-contractual obligations (see Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. b DS-GVO), if we are thereby fulfilling a legal obligation (see Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. c DS-GVO) or if we are safeguarding our legitimate interests (see Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. f DS-GVO). A third country is any country outside the European Union (EU) or the European Economic Area (EEA). When transferring data to third countries, we ensure that Art. 44 et seq. DS Block Exemption Regulation, existing guarantees or findings by the EU regarding an adequate level of data protection in the third country, and the conclusion of any necessary agreements, e.g. standard contractual clauses.

Encrypted transmission of your data

All personal data that you enter on our website and send to us will be transmitted encrypted on our website according to the state of the art.

In addition, we secure our website and associated IT systems by technical and organizational measures against loss, destruction, access, modification or distribution of your personal data by unauthorized persons.

Collection of access data and web server log files

On the basis of our legitimate interests in the analysis, optimisation and economic operation of our website, we collect the following data in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. f DS-GVO on every access to our website (so-called web server log files):

  • IP address of the user
  • Name of the website accessed
  • File, date and time of access
  • Message about successful retrieval
  • Browser type and version
  • Htaccess user
  • Called URL / subpage
  • Protocol (e.g. http 2.0)
  • Status
  • Referrer URL (previously visited website)
  • User agent
  • Operating system of the user

The data will be used for statistical analysis for the purpose of the operation, security and optimization of the website. For security reasons (e.g. for the clarification of cases of fraud/abuse), the data is kept within the framework of legal regulations. If longer storage is required for evidence purposes, the data will only be deleted after the matter has been finally clarified.

Deletion / blocking of your personal data

We only store your personal data for as long as is necessary to achieve the purposes stated here. Beyond that, we only store your data if required by legal retention obligations (e.g. 6 years according to § 257 para. 1 HGB and 10 years according to § 147 para. 1 AO for commercial and business letters, invoices, offers etc.). After discontinuation of the respective purpose or expiry of these periods, the data will be blocked or deleted in accordance with the statutory provisions pursuant to Art. 17, 18 DS-GVO.

Your rights as affected party

You have the right to receive information and a copy of your personal data stored by us free of charge at any time (see Art. 15 DS-GVO).

Vacancies/ Jobs

On our website we publish job offers / positions, for which you can apply by e-mail or post. Applicants are responsible for the secure transmission of applications with personal data via these communication channels.

In order to be able to process the applications, we require a minimum amount of data resulting from the job advertisement.

Analysis tools and advertising

Google Tag Manager

Google Tag Manager is used on this website. The Google Tag Manager is a solution from Google Inc. that allows companies to manage website tags via an interface. The Google Tag Manager is a cookieless domain that does not collect any personal data. The Google Tag Manager triggers other tags, which in turn may collect data. We hereby point this out separately. The Google Tag Manager does not access this data. If a deactivation has been made by the user at domain or cookie level, this remains in place for all tracking tags that are implemented with Google Tag Manager.

Google Analytics

This website uses functions of the web analysis service Google Analytics. The provider is Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

Google Analytics enables the website operator to analyze the behavior of website visitors. In doing so, the website operator receives various usage data, such as page views, dwell time, operating systems used and the origin of the user. This data may be summarized by Google in a profile that is assigned to the respective user or their end device.

Google Analytics uses technologies that enable the recognition of the user for the purpose of analyzing user behavior (e.g. cookies or device fingerprinting). The information collected by Google about the use of this website is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there.

The use of this analysis tool is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO. The website operator has a legitimate interest in analyzing user behavior in order to optimize both its website and its advertising. If a corresponding consent has been requested (e.g. consent to store cookies), the processing is based exclusively on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO; the consent can be revoked at any time.

Data transfer to the USA is based on the standard contractual clauses of the EU Commission. Details can be found here: https://privacy.google.com/businesses/controllerterms/mccs/.

IP anonymization

We have activated the IP anonymization function on this website. This means that your IP address will be truncated by Google within member states of the European Union or in other states party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area before being transmitted to the USA. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information 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. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with any other data held by Google.

Browser Plugin

You can prevent the collection and processing of your data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de.

More information on how Google Analytics handles user data can be found in Google’s privacy policy: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245?hl=de.

Order processing

We have concluded an order processing agreement with Google and fully implement the strict requirements of the German data protection authorities when using Google Analytics.

Demographic characteristics with Google Analytics

This website uses the “demographic characteristics” function of Google Analytics to display suitable advertisements to website visitors within the Google advertising network. This allows reports to be generated that include statements about the age, gender, and interests of site visitors. This data comes from interest-based advertising from Google as well as from visitor data from third-party providers. This data cannot be assigned to a specific person. You can deactivate this function at any time via the ad settings in your Google account or generally prohibit the collection of your data by Google Analytics as shown in the item “Objection to data collection”.

Storage period

Data stored by Google at user and event level that is linked to cookies, user identifiers (e.g. User ID) or advertising IDs (e.g. DoubleClick cookies, Android advertising ID) is anonymized or deleted after 14 months. For details, please see the following link: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/7667196?hl=de
