Information on data processing 

Automated data processing (log files etc.) 

Our website can be visited without actively providing personal information about the user. However, every time our website is accessed, we automatically store access data (server log files), such as the name of the internet service provider, the operating system used, the website the user visited us from, the date and duration of the visit and the name of the file accessed, as well the IP address of the device used (for security reasons, such as to recognise attacks on our website) for a duration of 7 days. This data is solely evaluated for the purpose of improving our offering and does not enable conclusions to be drawn about the person of the user. This data is not merged with other data sources. We process and use the data for the following purposes:  to provide the website, to improve our websites and to prevent and identify errors/malfunctions and the abuse of the website.  

Data categories:
Meta and communication data (e.g. IP address, date and time of access, time, type of HTTP request, website from which access is made (referrer URL), browser used and, if applicable, operating system of the accessing computer (user agent)) 

Purpose of processing:
Prevention and detection of errors/malfunctions, detection of misuse of the website

Legitimate interests:
Fraud prevention to detect misuse of the website

Required cookies (functionality, opt-out links, etc.) 

In order to enable the use of the basic functions on our website and to provide the service requested by the user, we use so-called cookies on our website. Cookies are a standard Internet technology for storing and retrieving information for website users. Cookies represent information and/or data that can be stored on the user's end device, for example. With classic cookie technology, the user's browser is instructed to store certain information on the user's device when a specific website is accessed. 

Strictly necessary cookies are used to provide a telemedia service expressly requested by the user, e.g: 

  • Cookies for error analysis and security purposes 
  • Cookies for storing logins 
  • Cookies to store data in online forms if the form extends over several pages 
  • Cookies for storing (language) settings 
  • Cookies to store items placed in the shopping cart by users in order to complete the purchase 
  • Cookies for storing consent or revocation (opt-in, opt-out) 

Some of the cookies used (so-called session cookies) are deleted after the end of the browser session, i.e. after closing the browser. 

Cookies can be deleted by users retrospectively in order to remove data that the website has stored on the user's computer. 

The data processing described above may also relate to information that is not personal but constitutes information within the meaning of the TTDSG. In these cases, too, this information may be required for the use of an expressly requested service and may therefore be stored in accordance with Section 25 TTDSG.

Web analytics and optimization 

We use procedures on our website to analyze user behavior and to measure reach. For this purpose, information about the behaviour, interests or demographic information of visitors is collected in order to determine whether and where our website needs to be optimized or adapted (e.g. forms on the website, improved placement of buttons or call-to-action buttons, etc.).  

We can also measure the click and scroll behavior of website visitors. Among other things, this helps us to recognize at what time our website, its functions or content are most frequented.  

The collection of this data is made possible by the use of certain technologies (e.g. cookies). These are stored on users' end devices as part of client-side tracking when they visit our website.  

We take precautions to protect the identity of our website visitors. We do not process any clear data of website visitors for the purposes described above.  

Data categories:
Usage data (e.g. websites visited, interest in content, access times), demographic characteristics (age, gender), meta and communication data (e.g. device information, anonymized IP addresses, location data), contact data (e.g. email address), content data (e.g. text information) 

Purposes of processing:
Checking the status of target achievement (success control) of all online activities: Analysis of user behaviour on the website (website interaction) for web optimization and reach measurement, checking the utilization of the website, lead evaluation, sales increase, budget control

Online marketing 

Search Engine Marketing (Advertising in search engines) 

We use search engine marketing methods. Search engine marketing includes all measures that are suitable for improving the visibility of our website in the organic or non-organic search results of search engines, increasing our reach and thus increasing traffic (visitor traffic) to our website. We can also use search engine marketing to generate new prospects (leads). The search engine provider sells us advertising space on the search engine results page or on websites of the search engine provider's partners. 

The advertisements can therefore be placed on various external platforms or websites. The ads are displayed to users in the form of text, display or video ads. 

Using our tracking tool, we first create a campaign for search engine advertising and store various dimensions there that are to be recorded by the search engine provider selected by us, e.g. user location, device information and target groups (demographic characteristics). This enables us to gain further insights into the interests in our content/products and, if necessary, to recognize trends. 

The process is implemented using a cookie or similar technology. When a visitor visits our website or searches for a specific keyword within the search engine used (e.g. Google), a cookie or similar technology is set on the website visitor's end device. This data may include, for example, user locations and device information, which is transmitted to the search engine provider's server. The search engine provider aggregates this data and makes it available to us automatically in the form of a statistical analysis via a dashboard in our account with the search engine provider. 

The statistics provide us with information about which of our ads were clicked on, how often and at what prices, and whether our marketing measures led to a so-called event (e.g. downloading a PDF or playing a video) or a conversion (e.g. purchase of a product or registration on our website). The evaluation serves to analyze the success of our online activities. Because every click on an ad incurs costs for us, these clicks on external platforms and websites are recorded using our tracking tool. The recording is used for budget and success control. 

Note: 
Website visitor data (e.g. name and e-mail address) can be assigned directly if they are logged into their account with the search engine provider. If assignment via the profile is not desired, the website visitor must log out of the search engine provider before visiting our website. 

Data categories:
Usage data (e.g. websites visited, interest in content, access times), metadata and communication data (e.g. device information, IP addresses), location data, contact data (e.g. email address, telephone number), content data (e.g. text inputs, photographs, videos) 

Purposes of processing:
Increase in sales and reach, conversion measurement, target group formation, identification of trends for the development of marketing strategies

Presence on social media 

We maintain a company profile on social networks and career platforms in order to increase our visibility among potential customers and interested parties and to make our company visible to the public. 

Social networks help us to increase our reach and actively promote interaction and communication with users. Activity and communication on social media plays a key role in attracting new customers and employees. Social media and the website can be used to share relevant information about our company, publicize events and communicate important short-term announcements and job vacancies. They also help us to get in touch with users quickly and easily. 

Social media platform operators create so-called user profiles based on the usage behavior of users, for example the indication of interests (likes, shares). These are used to adapt advertisements to the interests of target groups. When users are active on social media channels, cookies or other technologies are regularly stored on users' end devices, in some cases regardless of whether they are registered users of the social network.  

Insights (statistics) 

The data evaluated by the social media platform operators are provided to us in the form of anonymized statistics, which means that they no longer contain any personal data of users. We can use the statistics to see, for example, how often and at what time our social media profile was visited. It is currently not possible for fan page operators to deactivate this function. We therefore have no influence on the extent to which the data is processed by social media platforms. 

Depending on where the social network is operated, user data may be processed outside the European Union or outside the European Economic Area. This may result in risks for users because it makes it more difficult to enforce their rights.  

Data categories:
Master data (e.g. name, address), contact data (e.g. email address, telephone number), content data (e.g. text inputs, photographs, videos), usage data (e.g. websites visited, interest in content, access times), metadata and communication data (e.g. device information, IP addresses) 

Purposes of processing:
Increase in the reach, networking of users 

Legal bases:
legitimate interest (article 6 (1) (f) GDPR), Consent (article 6 (1) (a) GDPR) 

Legitimate interests:
Interaction and communication on social media pages, increase in profits, findings regarding target groups

To subscribe to our newsletter, you must provide an e-mail address. We may also collect additional data, such as your name, in order to personalize our newsletter.  

Our newsletter is only sent after the double opt-in procedure has been completed. If website visitors decide to subscribe to our newsletter, they will receive a confirmation e-mail, which serves to prevent the misuse of false e-mail addresses and to prevent the newsletter from being sent by a simple, possibly inadvertent click. You can unsubscribe from our newsletter at any time in the future. An unsubscribe link (opt-out link) is included at the end of each newsletter. 

We are also obliged to provide proof that our subscribers actually wanted to receive the newsletter. For this purpose, we collect and store the IP address and the time of subscription and unsubscription. 

Newsletter tracking 

Our newsletters are designed in such a way that it is possible for us to gain insights into improvements, target groups or the reading behavior of our subscribers. This enables us to use a so-called web beacon or tracking pixel, which reacts to interactions with the newsletter, for example whether links are clicked on, whether the newsletter is opened at all or at what time the newsletter is read. For technical reasons, we can assign this information to individual subscribers.

If your data is processed outside the EU/EEA, in so-called third countries (e.g. USA), we ensure that this is done in accordance with the requirements of Art. 44 et seq. GDPR. We take additional measures to ensure the highest possible level of protection for the personal data of data subjects. The guarantee applicable to the transfer to third countries is specified in our privacy policy for the respective recipients.

Data Processing 

Recipients used may act for us as so-called processors. We have concluded so-called "order processing contracts" with them in accordance with Art. 28 para. 3 GDPR. This means that the processors may only process your personal data in a way that we have explicitly instructed them to do so. Processors take adequate technical and organizational measures to process your data securely and in accordance with our instructions. 

Storage period 

We store the data of visitors for as long as this is necessary for the provision of our services or if this has been provided for by the European legislator or another legislator in laws or regulations to which we are subject. In all other cases, we delete the personal data after the purpose has been fulfilled, with the exception of data that we must continue to store in order to fulfill legal obligations (e.g. we are obliged to retain documents such as contracts and invoices for a certain period of time due to retention periods under tax and commercial law).

Storage period for required cookies: 30 days

Storage period for cookies/technologies that are not required: After expiry of the session and upon revocation by the data subject

Automated decision-making (including profiling)

We do not use automated decision-making or profiling in accordance with Art. 22 GDPR. 

Legal bases 

The decisive legal bases primarily arise from the GDPR. They are supplemented by national laws from member states and can, if applicable, be applied alongside or in addition to the GDPR.  

Consent:
Article 6 (1) (a) GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing procedures regarding which we have sought consent for a particular purpose of processing.

Article 6 (1) (c) GDPR is the legal basis for processing that is required to comply with a legal obligation.  

Vital interests:
Article 6 (1) (d) GDPR serves as the legal basis if the processing is necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person. 

Public interest:
Article 6 (1) (e) GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing that is necessary to perform a task in the public interest or to exercise public force that is transferred to the controller. 

Legitimate interest:
Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing that is necessary to protect the legitimate interests of the controller or a third party, provided this is not outweighed by the interests or fundamental rights and fundamental freedoms of the data subject that require personal data to be protected, particularly if the data subject is a child. 

Rights of the data subject

Right to lodge a complaint:
In addition, data subjects have the right to lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority responsible for them, under article 77 GDPR.

If personal data is processed on the basis of legitimate interests pursuant to article 6 (1) (1) (f) GDPR, under article 21 GDPR data subjects have the right to object to the processing of their personal data, provided there are reasons for this that arise from their particular situation or the objection relates to direct advertising. In the latter case, data subjects have a general right to object that is to be put into effect by us without a particular situation being stated.
