If you have questions about this subject matter or any other questions about personal data, please do not hesitate to contact us at any time at the address provided in section „Information Required by Law.“

Right to demand processing restrictions

You have the right to demand the imposition of restrictions as far as the processing of your personal data is concerned. To do so, you may contact us at any time at the address provided in section „Information Required by Law.“ The right to demand restriction of processing applies in the following cases:

• In the event that you should dispute the correctness of your data archived by us, we will usually need some time to verify this claim. During the time that this investigation is ongoing, you have the right to demand that we restrict the processing of your personal data.
• If the processing of your personal data was/is conducted in an unlawful manner, you have the option to demand the restriction of the processing of your data in lieu of demanding the eradication of this data.
• If we do not need your personal data any longer and you need it to exercise, defend or claim legal entitlements, you have the right to demand the restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of its eradication.
• If you have raised an objection pursuant to Art. 21 Sect. 1 GDPR, your rights and our rights will have to be weighed against each other. As long as it has not been determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to demand a restriction of the processing of your personal data.

If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, these data – with the exception of their archiving – may be processed only subject to your consent or to claim, exercise or defend legal entitlements or to protect the rights of other natural persons or legal entities or for important public interest reasons cited by the European Union or a member state of the EU.

Duration of storage

Personal data will be deleted after expiry of the statutory retention period, if they are no longer required for contract fulfillment or contract initiation.

Legal basis of processing

If you have given us consent to process your personal data for a specific purpose, the processing is performed on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 a DSGVO. If such processing is necessary in order to fulfill or initiate a contract with you, the processing is based on Article 6 (1) (b) GDPR. In some cases, z. For example, in order to fulfill tax obligations, we may be subject to a legal obligation to process personal data. The legal basis for this in such cases is Article 6 (1) (c) GDPR. In rare cases, processing may also be done to protect vital interests of you or another natural person. In this exceptional case, processing takes place on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 d DSGVO. Finally, processing operations can also be based on Art. 6 para. 1 f of the GDPR. This is the case if the processing is to safeguard a legitimate interest for our company or a third party, unless your interests, fundamental rights and fundamental freedoms prevail. Such a legitimate interest can already be accepted if you are a customer of ours. If the processing of personal data is based on Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR, our legitimate interest is the performance of our business activities.

Security

We as the controller have taken technical and organizational security measures in accordance with Art. 32 DSGVO. This  includes in particular measures to ensure the confidentiality, integrity and availability of the data. In addition, we have established processes that ensure the protection of data subject rights, the deletion of personal data and an immediate response to the threat to such data. In addition, we ensure the protection of personal data already in the development and selection of hardware and software in accordance with the principles of Art. 25 GDPR. All of our employees and persons involved in data processing are obliged to comply with the General Data Protection Regulation and other data protection laws as well as the confidential handling of personal data.
In the case of the collection and processing of personal data, the information is transmitted in encrypted form in order to prevent misuse of the data by third parties. Our hedging measures are continuously revised in line with technological developments.
Nevertheless, Internet-based data transmissions can in principle have security gaps so that absolute protection can not be guaranteed.

Change of our privacy policy

We reserve the right to change our security and privacy practices to the extent required by technical developments. In these cases, we will also adapt our privacy policy accordingly. Please therefore take note of the current version of our privacy policy.

Cookies enable recognition of the Internet browser.

Contradict the processing

Google Analytics 4

If you grant us your consent, Art. 6 I 1 a EU-GDPR, Google Analytics 4, a web analysis service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland ("Google"), is used on this website. With this technology, we can analyze your use of our website.

When you visit our website, Google Analytics 4 places cookies on your device. This information also includes your IP address. However, we have implemented the "Anonymize-IP" procedure, so that your IP address is regularly shortened by the last four digits before it is transferred to the Google server. Therefore, the data usually is no longer personal.

However, in exceptional cases, your IP address may be shortened after it has been transferred to the Google server. Such servers can be located outside the EU, particularly in the USA at the parent company Google LLC.

We shall mention that there is currently no equivalent level of data protection in the USA and, in particular, access to data processed there or by US companies or their foreign companies worldwide may potentially be accessed by US authorities or such information may have to be disclosed to them. As a non-US citizen, you may also not be entitled to take action at all or at least my not be entitled take effective action against this. We have minimized this risk as far as possible by using suitable data protection instruments (EU standard contracts), but cannot mitigate the risk to zero, so that your consent to the use of Google Analytics also entails this risk.

Google uses the data collected on our behalf to enable an evaluation of how you use our website and to create reports on your interaction with our content. According to Google, the IP address transferred and shortened by your browser to Google in this context will not be merged with other data from Google or other data relating to you that is available at Google. The data collected as part of the use of Google Analytics 4 is stored for a maximum of 2 months and then deleted or anonymized.

In order to accompany the transfer of data to Google with a suitable instrument in terms of data protection law, we have concluded so-called EU standard contractual clauses on data protection with Google. In this way, we ensure that your data is protected as best as possible, even if it is transferred to the USA. Information on how Google handles your data in its sphere and additional information on Google Analytics 4 can be found at https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de&gl=de and at https://policies.google.com /technologies/partner-sites.

You can revoke your consent any time with effect for the future and without having to name reason and without requiring a specific form. In order to exercise your right of withdrawal, you can in particular make use of our cookie settings area.

You can also prevent the storage of cookies on your device by setting your browser software accordingly; however, we shall mention that in this case you may not be able to use all functions of this website in full. You can also prevent the data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) being sent to Google and the processing of this data by Google by using the browser add-on available under the following link. The current link is http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de.

Google Signals

As an extension to Google Analytics 4, and also basing on your consent, we may use Google Signals. Google Signals is used to create cross-device reports. This works as follows: If you have activated personalized ads and linked your devices to a Google account, Google can analyze your usage behavior across devices and create data models.

In this way, your user activities can be merged into a uniform image regardless of the device you are using to surf our site (so-called cross-device conversion) - without making you personally identifiable to us, because we only receive anonymous statistics from Google. According to the information available to us from Google, a prerequisite for this is, in addition to your consent to us, a corresponding consent that you have given to Google.

You can terminate the use of Google Signals and thus the cross-device evaluation at any time. To do this, deactivate the "Personalized advertising" function in the settings of your Google account, as described on the Google support pages: https://support.google.com/ads/answer/2662922?hl=de More information about Google Signals can be found at https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/7532985?hl=de.

Demographics

Google Analytics 4 uses the special function "demographic characteristics". This function is used to create statistics that allow statements about the age, gender and interests of site visitors. For this purpose, advertising and information from third-party providers are evaluated so that suitable target groups for marketing measures can be identified, defined and addressed. According to Google, however, this data cannot be assigned to a specific person and will be deleted in accordance with the information on Google Analytics 4.

Social Media Plugins implemented with Shariff

Plug-ins of the social network LinkedIn are used on our website. You can usually recognize the plug-ins by means of the social media logo. In order to guarantee data protection on our website, we only use these plug-ins together with the so-called “Shariff” two-click solution. This application prevents the plug-ins integrated on our website from transferring data to the respective provider when the page is accessed for the first time. Only if you activate the respective plug-in by clicking the respective button will a direct connection to the provider's server be established (consent). As soon as you activate the plug-in, the respective provider receives the information that you have visited our site with your IP address. If you are logged into your LinkedIn account at the same time, the provider can assign your visit to our website to your user account. Activating the plug-in constitutes consent within the meaning of Art. 6 I 1 a EU-GDPR. You can revoke this consent at any time with effect for the future. You can prevent the collection and processing of data by the social networks by setting your browser accordingly. If you do not want the social networks to assign the data collected via our website directly to your user profile, you must log out before visiting our website.

LinkedIn Plugin

Our website uses functions of the LinkedIn network. The provider is the LinkedIn Corporation, 2029 Stierlin Court, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. Each time you visit one of our pages that contains LinkedIn functions, a connection to the LinkedIn servers is established. LinkedIn is provided the information that you have visited our website with your IP address. If you click the LinkedIn “Recommend” button and are logged into your LinkedIn account, LinkedIn is able to assign your visit to our website to you and your user account. We allow to mention that, as the provider of the website, we have no knowledge of the content of the data transmitted or of how it is used by LinkedIn. The use of the LinkedIn plug-in is based on your consent, Art. 6 I 1 a EU-GDPR. We use the Shariff two-click solution mentioned above to obtain your consent to this processing. Otherwise, the corresponding data processing will not take place (see the explanations on social media plug-ins with Shariff). Further information on data processing at LinkedIn can be found in LinkedIn's data protection declaration at: https://www.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy.

Links to other providers

Our website may contain links to the Internet sites of other parties. We may, however, not influence such content and do not accept any liability for such third-party content. The content of these pages is always within the sole responsibility of the third party offering the service or content.

All pages linked have been checked for potential legal violations and identifiable infringements before being linked.
