General Information on the Legal Basis for Data Processing on this Website

If you have consented to data processing, we process your personal data based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR or Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a GDPR, provided that special categories of data are processed according to Art. 9 para. 1 GDPR. In the case of explicit consent to the transfer of personal data to third countries, data processing also takes place based on Art. 49 para. 1 lit. a GDPR.

"If the processing of your personal data was unlawful, you can request the restriction of data processing instead of deletion."
"If we no longer need your personal data, but you need it for the exercise, defense, or assertion of legal claims, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of deletion."
"If you have lodged an objection pursuant to Art. 21 para. 1 GDPR, a balancing of interests between yours and ours must be carried out. As long as it is not yet clear whose interests prevail, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data."

This website uses the visitor action pixel from Facebook/Meta for conversion measurement. The provider of this service is Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Dublin 2, Ireland. However, according to Facebook, the collected data is also transferred to the USA and other third countries.

This enables the effectiveness of Facebook ads to be evaluated for statistical and market research purposes, and future advertising measures to be optimized.

The collected data is anonymous to us as the operators of this website; we cannot draw any conclusions about the identity of the users. However, the data is stored and processed by Facebook, allowing a connection to the respective user profile, and Facebook uses the data for its own advertising purposes, in accordance with the Facebook Data Use Policy.https://de-de.facebook.com/about/privacy/) can be used. This allows Facebook to enable the placement of advertisements on Facebook pages as well as outside of Facebook. This use of the data cannot be influenced by us as page operators.

You can assert your rights as a data subject (e.g., requests for information) regarding the data processed by Facebook directly with Facebook. If you assert your rights as a data subject with us, we are obliged to forward them to Facebook.

6. Newsletter

Newsletterdaten

"If you would like to receive the newsletter offered on the website, we need an email address from you as well as information that allows us to verify that you are the owner of the provided email address and that you agree to receive the newsletter. No further data will be collected, or only on a voluntary basis. For the processing of the newsletters, we use newsletter service providers, which will be described below."

Mailchimp

This website uses the services of Mailchimp for sending newsletters. The provider is Rocket Science Group LLC, 675 Ponce De Leon Ave NE, Suite 5000, Atlanta, GA 30308, USA.

Mailchimp is a service that can be used to organize and analyze the sending of newsletters, among other things. If you enter data for the purpose of subscribing to the newsletter (e.g., email address), this data will be stored on Mailchimp's servers in the USA.

With the help of Mailchimp, we can analyze our newsletter campaigns. When you open an email sent via Mailchimp, a file contained in the email (so-called web beacon) connects to Mailchimp's servers in the USA. This allows us to determine whether a newsletter message has been opened and which links may have been clicked. Additionally, technical information is collected (e.g., time of retrieval, IP address, browser type, and operating system). This information cannot be attributed to the respective newsletter recipient. It is used solely for the statistical analysis of newsletter campaigns. The results of these analyses can be used to better tailor future newsletters to the interests of the recipients.

"If you do not want an analysis from Mailchimp, you must unsubscribe from the newsletter. For this, we provide a corresponding link in every newsletter message."

The data processing is based on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR). You can revoke this consent at any time by unsubscribing from the newsletter. The legality of the data processing operations that have already taken place remains unaffected by the revocation.

The data you provided to us for the purpose of subscribing to the newsletter will be stored by us until you unsubscribe from the newsletter with us or the newsletter service provider, and will be deleted from the newsletter distribution list after the newsletter has been canceled. Data that has been stored with us for other purposes remains unaffected by this.

'The data transfer to the USA is based on the standard contractual clauses of the EU Commission. You can find details here:' https://mailchimp.com/eu-us-data-transfer-statement/ and https://mailchimp.com/legal/data-processing-addendum/#Annex_C_-_Standard_Contractual_Clauses.

"After your removal from the newsletter distribution list, your email address may be stored in a blacklist with us or the newsletter service provider, if this is necessary to prevent future mailings. The data from the blacklist will only be used for this purpose and will not be merged with other data. This serves both your interest and our interest in complying with legal requirements when sending newsletters (legitimate interest in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR). The storage in the blacklist is not time-limited. You can object to the storage if your interests outweigh our legitimate interest."

"For communication with our customers, we use, among other things, online conference tools. The specific tools we use are listed below. When you communicate with us via video or audio conference over the internet, your personal data will be collected and processed by us and the provider of the respective conference tool."

The conference tools collect all data that you provide/use for the tools (email address and/or your phone number). Furthermore, the conference tools process the duration of the conference, the start and end (time) of participation in the conference, the number of participants, and other "context information" related to the communication process (metadata).

Furthermore, the provider of the tool processes all technical data necessary for the execution of online communication. This particularly includes IP addresses, MAC addresses, device IDs, device type, operating system type and version, client version, camera type, microphone or speaker, as well as the type of connection.

"If content is exchanged, uploaded, or otherwise provided within the tool, it will also be stored on the servers of the tool providers. Such content includes, in particular, cloud recordings, chat/instant messages, voicemails, uploaded photos and videos, files, whiteboards, and other information shared during the use of the service."

Further information on data processing by the conference tools can be found in the privacy policies of the tools used, which we have listed below this text.

Purpose and Legal Basis

The conference tools are used to communicate with prospective or existing contractual partners or to offer specific services to our customers (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR). Furthermore, the use of the tools serves to generally simplify and accelerate communication with us or our company (legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR). If consent has been requested, the use of the relevant tools is based on this consent; the consent can be revoked at any time with effect for the future.

Storage period

The data collected directly by us through the video and conference tools will be deleted by our systems as soon as you request us to delete it, revoke your consent for storage, or the purpose for data storage no longer applies. Stored cookies remain on your device until you delete them. Mandatory legal retention periods remain unaffected.

Our social media presence

This privacy policy applies to the following social media appearances

Data processing by social networks

"We maintain publicly accessible profiles on social networks. The specific social networks we use can be found below."

Social networks like Facebook, X, etc. can usually analyze your user behavior comprehensively when you visit their website or a website with integrated social media content (e.g., like buttons or advertising banners). By visiting our social media presences, numerous data protection-relevant processing operations are triggered. Specifically:

If you are logged into your social media account and visit our social media presence, the operator of the social media portal may associate this visit with your user account. However, your personal data may also be collected even if you are not logged in or do not have an account with the respective social media portal. In this case, this data collection occurs, for example, through cookies that are stored on your device or by recording your IP address.

With the help of the data collected in this way, the operators of the social media platforms can create user profiles that contain your preferences and interests. In this way, interest-based advertising can be displayed to you both inside and outside the respective social media presence. If you have an account with the respective social network, interest-based advertising can be displayed on all devices where you are logged in or have been logged in.

Please also note that we cannot trace all processing processes on the social media portals. Depending on the provider, additional processing operations may therefore be carried out by the operators of the social media portals. You can find details in the terms of use and privacy policies of the respective social media portals.

Legal basis

"Our social media appearances are intended to ensure a comprehensive presence on the internet. This constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The analysis processes initiated by the social networks may be based on differing legal grounds, which must be specified by the operators of the social networks (e.g. consent within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR)."

Responsible party and assertion of rights

"If you visit one of our social media presences (e.g., Facebook), we are jointly responsible with the operator of the social media platform for the data processing operations triggered during this visit. You can assert your rights (information, correction, deletion, restriction of processing, data portability, and complaint) generally against both us and the operator of the respective social media portal (e.g., against Facebook)."

Please note that despite the shared responsibility with the social media platform operators, we do not have full influence over the data processing operations of the social media platforms. Our options are largely determined by the corporate policy of the respective provider.

Storage period

The data collected directly from us via our social media presence will be deleted by our systems as soon as you request deletion, revoke your consent to storage, or the purpose for data storage no longer applies. Stored cookies remain on your device until you delete them. Mandatory legal provisions – in particular, retention periods – remain unaffected.

"We have no influence on the storage duration of your data, which is stored by the operators of social networks for their own purposes. For details, please refer directly to the operators of the social networks (e.g., in their privacy policy, see below)."

Your rights

You have the right to obtain free information at any time about the origin, recipients, and purpose of your stored personal data. You also have the right to object, the right to data portability, and the right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority. Furthermore, you can request the correction, blocking, deletion, and, under certain circumstances, the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
