I. General

(1) In the fol­lo­wing, we inform you about the coll­ec­tion of per­so­nal data when using our website.

(2) The term ‘per­so­nal data’ means, with refe­rence to the defi­ni­tion of Article 4 No. 1 of Regu­la­tion (EU) 2016/​679 (her­ein­af­ter refer­red to as ‘Gene­ral Data Pro­tec­tion Regu­la­tion’ or ‘GDPR’ for short), all data that can be per­so­nally rela­ted to you. This includes, for exam­ple, name, address, e‑mail address, user beha­vior. With regard to fur­ther ter­mi­no­logy, in par­ti­cu­lar the terms pro­ces­sing’, ‘con­trol­ler’, ‘pro­ces­sor’ and ‘con­sent’, we refer to the legal data pro­tec­tion defi­ni­ti­ons of Art. 4 DSGVO.

(3) We pro­cess per­so­nal data only to the ext­ent neces­sary to pro­vide a func­tional web­site and the con­tent and ser­vices offe­red by us. Per­so­nal data is regu­larly pro­ces­sed only if you have given us your con­sent within the mea­ning of Art. 6 (1) a) DSGVO or if the pro­ces­sing is per­mit­ted by sta­tu­tory pro­vi­si­ons, in par­ti­cu­lar by one of the legal bases men­tio­ned in Art. 6 (1) b) to f) DSGVO.

(4) Your per­so­nal data will be dele­ted or blo­cked as soon as the pur­pose of sto­rage cea­ses to apply. In addi­tion, sto­rage may take place if this has been pro­vi­ded for by natio­nal or Euro­pean regu­la­ti­ons to which we are sub­ject. In this case, the data will be blo­cked or dele­ted when the sto­rage period pre­scri­bed by the respec­tive regu­la­ti­ons has expi­red. The lat­ter does not apply if fur­ther sto­rage of the data is neces­sary for the con­clu­sion or ful­film­ent of a contract.

(5) If we wish to use com­mis­sio­ned ser­vice pro­vi­ders for indi­vi­dual func­tions of our web­site or use your data for adver­ti­sing pur­po­ses, we will inform you in detail about the respec­tive pro­ces­ses below.

IV. Your rights

(1) You have the fol­lo­wing rights in rela­tion to us in respect of per­so­nal data rela­ting to you:

  • the right of access,
  • the right to rec­ti­fi­ca­tion and erasure,
  • the right to rest­ric­tion of processing,
  • the right to object to processing,
  • the right to data portability.

(2) Addi­tio­nally, you have the right to lodge a com­plaint with a data pro­tec­tion super­vi­sory aut­ho­rity about our pro­ces­sing of your per­so­nal data.

V. Processing of personal data during informational use of our website

(1) If you access our web­site wit­hout regis­tering or other­wise pro­vi­ding us with infor­ma­tion (‘Infor­ma­tio­nal Use’), we only coll­ect the per­so­nal data that your web brow­ser trans­mits to our ser­ver. If you wish to view our web­site, we coll­ect the fol­lo­wing data, which is tech­ni­cally neces­sary for us to enable you to view our web­site and to ensure its sta­bi­lity and secu­rity: IP address, Date and time of the request, Time zone dif­fe­rence to GMT, Con­tent of the web page, Access sta­tus (HTTP sta­tus), Amount of data trans­fer­red, Request web­site, Web brow­ser, ope­ra­ting sys­tem, brow­ser lan­guage and version

(2) The afo­re­men­tio­ned data is also stored in so-cal­led log files on our ser­vers. A sto­rage of this data tog­e­ther with other per­so­nal data of you does not take place. 

(3) The coll­ec­tion and tem­po­rary sto­rage of the IP address is neces­sary to enable the deli­very of our web­site to your ter­mi­nal device. For this pur­pose, your IP address must be stored for the dura­tion of your visit to our website.

(4) The sto­rage of the above-men­tio­ned data in log files ser­ves to ensure the func­tion­a­lity and opti­miza­tion of our web­site as well as to ensure the secu­rity of our infor­ma­tion tech­no­logy systems.

(5) An eva­lua­tion of this data for mar­ke­ting pur­po­ses does not take place. In the above pur­po­ses lies our legi­ti­mate inte­rest in data pro­ces­sing. The legal basis for the coll­ec­tion and tem­po­rary sto­rage of the afo­re­men­tio­ned data and the log files is Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. f) GDRP. The afo­re­men­tio­ned data for the pro­vi­sion of our web­site will be dele­ted when the respec­tive ses­sion has ended. The coll­ec­tion of the above data for the pro­vi­sion of our web­site and the sto­rage of this data in log files is man­da­tory for the ope­ra­tion of our web­site. There is no pos­si­bi­lity to object.

VI. Processing of personal data by cookies

(1) We use so-cal­led coo­kies on our web­site. Coo­kies are small text files that are stored on the sto­rage medium of your end device, for exam­ple on a hard drive, and through which cer­tain infor­ma­tion flows to us as the body that sets the coo­kie. Coo­kies can­not exe­cute pro­grams or trans­mit viru­ses to your end device. This web­site uses the fol­lo­wing types of coo­kies, the scope and func­tion­a­lity of which are explai­ned below.

(2) Coo­kies that are stored in asso­cia­tion with your web browser:

  • Per­sis­tent coo­kies: these coo­kies are auto­ma­ti­cally dele­ted after a spe­ci­fied period of time, which may vary depen­ding on the coo­kie. You can delete these coo­kies at any time in the set­tings of your web browser. 

(3) The pro­ces­sing of per­so­nal data by the afo­re­men­tio­ned coo­kies ser­ves to make the offer of our web­site as a whole more user-fri­endly and effec­tive for you. Some func­tions of our web­site can­not be offe­red wit­hout the use of these coo­kies. In par­ti­cu­lar, some func­tions of our web­site require that your web brow­ser can still be iden­ti­fied after a page change. If you have an account, we use the coo­kies to iden­tify you for sub­se­quent visits. This pre­vents you from having to log in again each time you visit our web­site. The data pro­ces­sed by coo­kies that are requi­red to pro­vide the func­tions of our web­site are not used to create user pro­files. Where coo­kies are used for ana­ly­sis pur­po­ses, they are used to improve the qua­lity and user-fri­end­li­ness of our web­site, its con­tent and func­tions. They enable us to track how the web­site, which func­tions and how often they are used. This enables us to con­ti­nuously opti­mize our offer.

(4) In the above pur­po­ses lies our legi­ti­mate inte­rest in data pro­ces­sing. The legal basis is Art. 6 (1) lit. f) GDRP.

(5) The above coo­kies are stored on your ter­mi­nal device and trans­mit­ted from it to our ser­ver. You can the­r­e­fore con­fi­gure the pro­ces­sing of data and infor­ma­tion by coo­kies yours­elf. You can make appro­priate con­fi­gu­ra­ti­ons in the set­tings of your web brow­ser, through which you can, for exam­ple, reject third-party coo­kies or coo­kies altog­e­ther. In this con­text, we would like to point out that you may then not be able to use all func­tions of our web­site pro­perly. In addi­tion, we recom­mend a regu­lar manual dele­tion of coo­kies as well as your brow­ser history.

VII. Other functions and offers of our website

(1) In addi­tion to the afo­re­men­tio­ned infor­ma­tio­nal use of our web­site, we offer various ser­vices that you can use if you are inte­res­ted. This usually requi­res the pro­vi­sion of fur­ther per­so­nal data. We need this data to pro­vide the respec­tive ser­vice. The afo­re­men­tio­ned data pro­ces­sing prin­ci­ples apply.

(2) In some cases, we use exter­nal ser­vice pro­vi­ders to pro­cess this data, which have been carefully sel­ec­ted and com­mis­sio­ned by us. These ser­vice pro­vi­ders are bound by our ins­truc­tions and are regu­larly moni­to­red by us. Inso­far as per­so­nal data is pas­sed on to third par­ties in the course of ser­vices which we offer jointly with part­ners, you can find more detailed infor­ma­tion in the fol­lo­wing descrip­ti­ons of the indi­vi­dual ser­vices. If these third par­ties are based in a coun­try out­side the Euro­pean Eco­no­mic Area, you can find more detailed infor­ma­tion about the con­se­quen­ces of this cir­cum­s­tance in the fol­lo­wing descrip­ti­ons of the indi­vi­dual services.

VIII. Contacting us

(1) If you cont­act us by e‑mail, the per­so­nal data you send to us with your e‑mail will be stored.

(2) In addi­tion, we main­tain a cont­act form on our web­site with which you can cont­act us. In doing so, the data you enter in the input mask is trans­mit­ted to us and stored: First name, Last name, Email address, Phone, Unternehmen.

(3) The data will only be used to ans­wer your ques­ti­ons. Unless expli­citly sta­ted in this pri­vacy policy, the data will not be shared with third par­ties. In addi­tion, we record your IP address and the time of sending.

(4) The pro­ces­sing of the above per­so­nal data is solely for the pur­pose of deal­ing with your enquiries. 

(5) The pro­ces­sing of fur­ther per­so­nal data, which is gene­ra­ted by the use of the cont­act form pro­vi­ded on our web­site, ser­ves to pre­vent misuse as well as to ensure the secu­rity of our infor­ma­tion tech­no­logy systems.

(6) This is also our legi­ti­mate inte­rest in pro­ces­sing your per­so­nal data. Inso­far as you have given us con­sent for this, the legal basis for the pro­ces­sing of this data is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDRP. Other­wise, the legal basis for the pro­ces­sing of this data is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDRP, in par­ti­cu­lar in the event that the data is trans­mit­ted to us by you by sen­ding us an e‑mail. Inso­far as you wish to work towards the con­clu­sion of a con­tract by sen­ding us an e‑mail, Art. 6 (1) (b) GDRP con­sti­tu­tes an addi­tio­nal legal basis.

(7) The data will be dele­ted, sub­ject to sta­tu­tory reten­tion peri­ods, as soon as we have con­clu­si­vely pro­ces­sed your request. When cont­ac­ting us by e‑mail, you can object to the sto­rage of your per­so­nal data at any time. We would like to point out that in this case your request can­not be pro­ces­sed any fur­ther. You can declare the revo­ca­tion or the objec­tion by sen­ding an e‑mail to our e‑mail address given in the imprint. 

IX. Adobe Fonts

We use the ser­vice on our website.

The ser­vice allows us to use exter­nal fonts. For this pur­pose, the requi­red font is loa­ded into the brow­ser cache by your web brow­ser when you call up our web­site. This is neces­sary so that your brow­ser can dis­play a visually impro­ved repre­sen­ta­tion of our texts. If your brow­ser does not sup­port this func­tion, a stan­dard font is used by your com­pu­ter for dis­play. The inte­gra­tion of these fonts is done by a ser­ver call at a ser­ver of the pro­vi­der. This trans­mits to the ser­ver which of our Inter­net pages you have visi­ted. The IP address of the brow­ser of your end device is also stored by the pro­vi­der. We have no influence on the scope and fur­ther use of the data coll­ec­ted and pro­ces­sed by the pro­vi­der through the use of the service.

We use the ser­vice for opti­miza­tion pur­po­ses, in par­ti­cu­lar to improve the use of our web­site for you and to make its design more user-friendly.

The ser­vice trans­mits per­so­nal data to the USA. The EU Com­mis­sion has deci­ded that this coun­try offers an ade­quate level of data pro­tec­tion (TADPF). The ser­vice has sub­mit­ted to the TADPF.

The legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. a) GDPR (con­sent).

You can also pre­vent the sto­rage of coo­kies gene­ra­ted by this ser­vice by making the appro­priate set­tings in your web brow­ser. We point out that in this case you may not be able to use all fea­tures of our website.

XII. DoubleClick

We use the ser­vice on our website.

Among other things, the ser­vice uses coo­kies, i.e. small text files that are stored locally in the cache of your web brow­ser on your end device. The pro­vi­der uses a coo­kie ID to record which ads are dis­played in which web brow­ser. This can pre­vent ads from being dis­played more than once. The ser­vice can also use the coo­kie IDs to record so-cal­led con­ver­si­ons that are rela­ted to ad requests. This is the case, for exam­ple, when you see a cor­re­spon­ding ad and later call up the advertiser’s web­site with the same web brow­ser and buy some­thing there. Accor­ding to the pro­vi­der, the afo­re­men­tio­ned coo­kies do not con­tain any per­so­nal data. By using the ser­vice, your brow­ser auto­ma­ti­cally estab­lishes a direct con­nec­tion with the provider’s ser­ver. We have no influence on the scope and fur­ther use of the data coll­ec­ted by the pro­vi­der through the use of the ser­vice. To our know­ledge, the pro­vi­der recei­ves the infor­ma­tion that you have cal­led up the rele­vant part of our web­site or cli­cked on an adver­ti­se­ment from us. If you have a user account with the pro­vi­der and are regis­tered, the pro­vi­der can assign the visit to your user account. Even if you are not regis­tered with the pro­vi­der or have not log­ged in, it is pos­si­ble that the pro­vi­der will learn and store your IP address.

We use the ser­vice for opti­miza­tion pur­po­ses, in par­ti­cu­lar to improve the use of our web­site for you and to make its design more user-friendly.

The ser­vice trans­mits per­so­nal data to the USA. The EU Com­mis­sion has deci­ded that this coun­try offers an ade­quate level of data pro­tec­tion (TADPF). The ser­vice has sub­mit­ted to the TADPF.

XIII. Google (Invisible) reCAPTCHA

We use the ser­vice on our website.

We use the ser­vice to check whe­ther the input is made by a human or impro­perly by auto­ma­ted, machine pro­ces­sing. The pro­ce­dure thus ser­ves to defend against spam, DDoS attacks and simi­lar auto­ma­ted mali­cious access. The use of the ser­vice thus directly ser­ves to ensure the inte­grity and func­tion­a­lity of our systems.

The IP address trans­mit­ted as part of the ser­vice will not be mer­ged with other data of the pro­vi­der, unless you are log­ged in with your account with the pro­vi­der at the time of using the ser­vice. If you want to pre­vent this trans­mis­sion and sto­rage of data about you and your beha­vior on our web­site by the pro­vi­der, you must log out of the pro­vi­der before you visit our site or use the service.

The ser­vice trans­mits per­so­nal data to the USA. The EU Com­mis­sion has deci­ded that this coun­try offers an ade­quate level of data pro­tec­tion (TADPF). The ser­vice has sub­mit­ted to the TADPF.

XIV. Google Analytics 4

We use the ser­vice on our website.

We use the ser­vice to ana­lyze the use of our web­site and to con­ti­nuously improve indi­vi­dual func­tions and offers as well as the user expe­ri­ence. Through the sta­tis­ti­cal eva­lua­tion of user beha­vior, we can improve our offer and make it more inte­res­t­ing for you as a user. The data is dele­ted as soon as it is no lon­ger requi­red to achieve the pur­pose for which it was collected.

The ser­vice uses coo­kies, i.e. small text files that are stored on your end device and enable an ana­ly­sis of your use of our web­site. The infor­ma­tion gene­ra­ted by the coo­kie about the use of our web­site is trans­mit­ted to a ser­ver of the pro­vi­der within the EU and stored there. The IP addres­ses are shor­tened on these ser­vers. A cor­re­spon­din­gly pseud­ony­mi­sed data set is trans­mit­ted to the USA. The pro­vi­der of this ser­vice will use this infor­ma­tion to eva­luate your use of our web­site on our behalf, to com­pile reports on web­site use and to pro­vide us with other ser­vices rela­ted to web­site use and inter­net use. Pseud­ony­mous usage pro­files can be crea­ted from the pro­ces­sed data. The pro­vi­der of this ser­vice can track you across dif­fe­rent devices and ther­eby record your user beha­vior in detail.

The ser­vice trans­mits per­so­nal data to the USA. The EU Com­mis­sion has deci­ded that this coun­try offers an ade­quate level of data pro­tec­tion (TADPF). The ser­vice has sub­mit­ted to the TADPF.

You can also pre­vent the sto­rage of coo­kies gene­ra­ted by this ser­vice by making the appro­priate set­tings in your web brow­ser. We would like to point out that in this case you may not be able to use all the func­tions of our web­site. If you want to pre­vent the coll­ec­tion of data gene­ra­ted by the coo­kie and rela­ted to your user beha­vior (inclu­ding your IP address), as well as the pro­ces­sing of this data by the pro­vi­der of the ser­vice, you can also down­load and install the web brow­ser plugin available at the fol­lo­wing link:

https://​tools​.google​.com/​d​l​p​a​g​e​/​g​a​o​p​t​o​u​t​?​h​l​=de

In order to oblige the pro­vi­der of this ser­vice to pro­cess the trans­mit­ted data only in accordance with our ins­truc­tions and to com­ply with the appli­ca­ble data pro­tec­tion regu­la­ti­ons, we have con­cluded an order pro­ces­sing agree­ment with the provider.

The legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. a) GDPR (con­sent).

XV. Google Tag Manager

We use the ser­vice on our website.

The ser­vice allows us as mar­ket­ers to manage web­site tags through one inter­face. The tool that imple­ments the tags is a coo­kiel­ess domain and does not coll­ect any per­so­nal data its­elf. The ser­vice pro­vi­des for the trig­ge­ring of other tags, which in turn may coll­ect data. The ser­vice does not access this data. If a deac­ti­va­tion has been made at the domain or coo­kie level, it remains in place for all track­ing tags that are imple­men­ted with the service.

We use the ser­vice on our website.

The ser­vice stores and pro­ces­ses infor­ma­tion about your user beha­vior on our web­site. For this pur­pose, the ser­vice uses, among other things, coo­kies, i.e. small text files that are stored locally in the cache of your web brow­ser on your ter­mi­nal device and that enable an ana­ly­sis of your use of our website.
