Unless a more specific storage period has been spec­i­fied in this privacy policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for which it was col­lect­ed no longer applies. If you assert a jus­ti­fied request for deletion or revoke your consent to data pro­cess­ing, your data will be deleted, unless we have other legally per­mis­si­ble reasons for storing your personal data (e.g., tax or com­mer­cial law reten­tion periods); in the latter case, the deletion will take place after these reasons cease to apply.

General infor­ma­tion on the legal basis for the data pro­cess­ing on this website

If you have con­sent­ed to data pro­cess­ing, we process your personal data on the basis of Art. 6 (1)(b) GDPR or Art. 9 (2)(a) GDPR, if special cat­e­gories of data are processed accord­ing to Art. 9 (1) DSGVO.

Infor­ma­tion on data transfer to the USA and other non-EU coun­tries

Among other things, we use tools of com­pa­nies domi­ciled in the United States or other from a data pro­tec­tion per­spec­tive non-secure non-EU coun­tries. If these tools are active, your personal data may poten­tial­ly be trans­ferred to these non-EU coun­tries and may be processed there. We must point out that in these coun­tries, a data pro­tec­tion level that is com­pa­ra­ble to that in the EU cannot be guar­an­teed. For instance, U.S. enter­pris­es are under a mandate to release personal data to the security agencies and you as the data subject do not have any lit­i­ga­tion options to defend yourself in court. Hence, it cannot be ruled out that U.S. agencies (e.g., the Secret Service) may process, analyze, and per­ma­nent­ly archive your personal data for sur­veil­lance purposes. We have no control over these pro­cess­ing activ­i­ties.

Revo­ca­tion of your consent to the pro­cess­ing of data

A wide range of data pro­cess­ing trans­ac­tions are possible only subject to your express consent. You can also revoke at any time any consent you have already given us. This shall be without prej­u­dice to the law­ful­ness of any data col­lec­tion that occurred prior to your revo­ca­tion.

Right to object to the col­lec­tion of data in special cases; right to object to direct adver­tis­ing (Art. 21 GDPR)

IN THE EVENT THAT DATA ARE PROCESSED ON THE BASIS OF ART. 6 (1) (E) OR (F) GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO AT ANY TIME OBJECT TO THE PRO­CESS­ING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA BASED ON GROUNDS ARISING FROM YOUR UNIQUE SIT­U­A­TION; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO ANY PRO­FIL­ING BASED ON THESE PRO­VI­SIONS. TO DETER­MINE THE LEGAL BASIS, ON WHICH ANY PRO­CESS­ING OF DATA IS BASED, PLEASE CONSULT THIS DATA PRO­TEC­TION DEC­LA­RA­TION. IF YOU LOG AN OBJEC­TION, WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR AFFECTED PERSONAL DATA, UNLESS WE ARE IN A POSITION TO PRESENT COM­PELLING PRO­TEC­TION WORTHY GROUNDS FOR THE PRO­CESS­ING OF YOUR DATA, THAT OUTWEIGH YOUR INTER­ESTS, RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS OR IF THE PURPOSE OF THE PRO­CESS­ING IS THE CLAIMING, EXER­CIS­ING OR DEFENCE OF LEGAL ENTI­TLE­MENTS (OBJEC­TION PURSUANT TO ART. 21(1) GDPR).

IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA IS BEING PROCESSED IN ORDER TO ENGAGE IN DIRECT ADVER­TIS­ING, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT TO THE PRO­CESS­ING OF YOUR AFFECTED PERSONAL DATA FOR THE PURPOSES OF SUCH ADVER­TIS­ING AT ANY TIME. THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PRO­FIL­ING TO THE EXTENT THAT IT IS AFFIL­I­AT­ED WITH SUCH DIRECT ADVER­TIS­ING. IF YOU OBJECT, YOUR PERSONAL DATA WILL SUB­SE­QUENT­LY NO LONGER BE USED FOR DIRECT ADVER­TIS­ING PURPOSES (OBJEC­TION PURSUANT TO ART. 21(2) GDPR).

Right to log a com­plaint with the com­pe­tent super­vi­so­ry agency

In the event of vio­la­tions of the GDPR, data subjects are entitled to log a com­plaint with a super­vi­so­ry agency, in par­tic­u­lar in the member state where they usually maintain their domicile, place of work or at the place where the alleged vio­la­tion occurred. The right to log a com­plaint is in effect regard­less of any other admin­is­tra­tive or court pro­ceed­ings avail­able as legal recours­es.

Right to data porta­bil­i­ty

You have the right to demand that we hand over any data we auto­mat­i­cal­ly process on the basis of your consent or in order to fulfil a contract be handed over to you or a third party in a commonly used, machine readable format. If you should demand the direct transfer of the data to another con­troller, this will be done only if it is tech­ni­cal­ly feasible.

Infor­ma­tion about, rec­ti­fi­ca­tion and erad­i­ca­tion of data

Within the scope of the applic­a­ble statu­to­ry pro­vi­sions, you have the right to at any time demand infor­ma­tion about your archived personal data, their source and recip­i­ents as well as the purpose of the pro­cess­ing of your data. You may also have a right to have your data rec­ti­fied or erad­i­cat­ed 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.

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. 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 (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.

Cookies

Our websites and pages use what the industry refers to as “cookies.” Cookies are small text files that do not cause any damage to your device. They are either stored tem­porar­i­ly for the duration of a session (session cookies) or they are per­ma­nent­ly archived on your device (per­ma­nent cookies). Session cookies are auto­mat­i­cal­ly deleted once you ter­mi­nate your visit. Per­ma­nent cookies remain archived on your device until you actively delete them, or they are auto­mat­i­cal­ly erad­i­cat­ed by your web browser.

In some cases, it is possible that third-party cookies are stored on your device once you enter our site (third-party cookies). These cookies enable you or us to take advan­tage of certain services offered by the third party (e.g., cookies for the pro­cess­ing of payment services).

Cookies have a variety of func­tions. Many cookies are tech­ni­cal­ly essen­tial since certain website func­tions would not work in the absence of the cookies (e.g., the shopping cart function or the display of videos). The purpose of other cookies may be the analysis of user patterns or the display of pro­mo­tion­al messages.

Cookies, which are required for the per­for­mance of elec­tron­ic com­mu­ni­ca­tion trans­ac­tions, or for the pro­vi­sion of certain func­tions you want to use (e.g., for the shopping cart function) or those that are nec­es­sary for the opti­miza­tion (required cookies) of the website (e.g., cookies that provide mea­sur­able insights into the web audience), shall be stored on the basis of Art. 6 (1)(b) GDPR, unless a dif­fer­ent legal basis is cited. The operator of the website has a legit­i­mate interest in the storage of required cookies to ensure the tech­ni­cal­ly error free and opti­mized pro­vi­sion of the operator’s services. If your consent to the storage of the cookies and similar recog­ni­tion tech­nolo­gies has been request­ed, pro­cess­ing occurs exclu­sive­ly on the basis of the consent obtained (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25 (1) TTDSG); this consent may be revoked at any time.

You have the option to set up your browser in such a manner that you will be notified any time cookies are placed and to permit the accep­tance of cookies only in specific cases. You may also exclude the accep­tance of cookies in certain cases or in general or activate the delete function for the auto­mat­ic erad­i­ca­tion of cookies when the browser closes. If cookies are deac­ti­vat­ed, the func­tions of this website may be limited.

In the event that third-party cookies are used or if cookies are used for ana­lyt­i­cal purposes, we will sep­a­rate­ly notify you in con­junc­tion with this Data Pro­tec­tion Policy and, if applic­a­ble, ask for your consent.

Server log files

The provider of this website and its pages auto­mat­i­cal­ly collects and stores infor­ma­tion in so-called server log files, which your browser com­mu­ni­cates to us auto­mat­i­cal­ly. The infor­ma­tion com­pris­es:

• The type and version of browser used
• The used oper­at­ing system
• Referrer URL
• The hostname of the access­ing computer
• The time of the server inquiry
• The IP address

This data is not merged with other data sources.

This data is recorded on the basis of Art. 6 (1)(b) GDPR. The operator of the website has a legit­i­mate interest in the tech­ni­cal­ly error free depic­tion and the opti­miza­tion of the operator’s website. In order to achieve this, server log files must be recorded.

4. Plugins and Tools

YouTube with expanded data pro­tec­tion inte­gra­tion

Our website embeds videos of the website YouTube. The website operator is Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

We use YouTube in the expanded data pro­tec­tion mode. Accord­ing to YouTube, this mode ensures that YouTube does not store any infor­ma­tion about visitors to this website before they watch the video. Nev­er­the­less, this does not nec­es­sar­i­ly mean that the sharing of data with YouTube partners can be ruled out as a result of the expanded data pro­tec­tion mode. For instance, regard­less of whether you are watching a video, YouTube will always estab­lish a con­nec­tion with the Google Dou­bleClick network.

As soon as you start to play a YouTube video on this website, a con­nec­tion to YouTube’s servers will be estab­lished. As a result, the YouTube server will be notified, which of our pages you have visited. If you are logged into your YouTube account while you visit our site, you enable YouTube to directly allocate your browsing patterns to your personal profile. You have the option to prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account.

Fur­ther­more, after you have started to play a video, YouTube will be able to place various cookies on your device or com­pa­ra­ble tech­nolo­gies for recog­ni­tion (e.g. device fin­ger­print­ing). In this way YouTube will be able to obtain infor­ma­tion about this website’s visitors. Among other things, this infor­ma­tion will be used to generate video sta­tis­tics with the aim of improv­ing the user friend­li­ness of the site and to prevent attempts to commit fraud.

Under certain cir­cum­stances, addi­tion­al data pro­cess­ing trans­ac­tions may be trig­gered after you have started to play a YouTube video, which are beyond our control.

The use of YouTube is based on our interest in pre­sent­ing our online content in an appeal­ing manner. Pursuant to Art. 6 (1)(b) GDPR, this is a legit­i­mate interest. If appro­pri­ate consent has been obtained, the pro­cess­ing is carried out exclu­sive­ly on the basis of Art. 6 (1)(b) GDPR and § 25 (1) TTDSG, insofar the consent includes the storage of cookies or the access to infor­ma­tion in the user’s end device (e.g., device fin­ger­print­ing) within the meaning of the TTDSG. The consent can be revoked at any time.

For more infor­ma­tion on how YouTube handles user data, please consult the YouTube Data Privacy Policy under: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en.

Google Web Fonts

To ensure that fonts used on this website are uniform, this website uses so-called Web Fonts provided by Google. When you access a page on our website, your browser will load the required web fonts into your browser cache to cor­rect­ly display text and fonts.

To do this, the browser you use will have to estab­lish a con­nec­tion with Google’s servers. As a result, Google will learn that your IP address was used to access this website. The use of Google Web Fonts is based on Art. 6 (1)(b) GDPR. The website operator has a legit­i­mate interest in a uniform pre­sen­ta­tion of the font on the operator’s website. If appro­pri­ate consent has been obtained, the pro­cess­ing is carried out exclu­sive­ly on the basis of Art. 6 (1)(b) GDPR and § 25 (1) TTDSG, insofar the consent includes the storage of cookies or the access to infor­ma­tion in the user’s end device (e.g., device fin­ger­print­ing) within the meaning of the TTDSG. The consent can be revoked at any time.

If your browser should not support Web Fonts, a standard font installed on your computer will be used.

For more infor­ma­tion on Google Web Fonts, please follow this link: https://developers.google.com/fonts/faq and consult Google’s Data Privacy Dec­la­ra­tion under: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de.

5. Online-based Audio and Video Con­fer­ences (Con­fer­ence tools)

Data pro­cess­ing

We use online con­fer­ence tools, among other things, for com­mu­ni­ca­tion with our cus­tomers. The tools we use are listed in detail below. If you com­mu­ni­cate with us by video or audio con­fer­ence using the Internet, your personal data will be col­lect­ed and processed by the provider of the respec­tive con­fer­ence tool and by us.

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

Fur­ther­more, the provider of the tool process­es all the tech­ni­cal data required for the pro­cess­ing of the online com­mu­ni­ca­tion. This includes, in par­tic­u­lar, IP address­es, MAC address­es, device IDs, device type, oper­at­ing system type and version, client version, camera type, micro­phone or loud­speak­er and the type of con­nec­tion.

Should content be exchanged, uploaded, or oth­er­wise made avail­able within the tool, it is also stored on the servers of the tool provider. Such content includes, but is not limited to, cloud record­ings, chat/ instant messages, voice­mail uploaded photos and videos, files, white­boards, and other infor­ma­tion shared while using the service.

Please note that we do not have complete influ­ence on the data pro­cess­ing pro­ce­dures of the tools used. Our pos­si­bil­i­ties are largely deter­mined by the cor­po­rate policy of the respec­tive provider. Further infor­ma­tion on data pro­cess­ing by the con­fer­ence tools can be found in the data pro­tec­tion dec­la­ra­tions of the tools used, and which we have listed below this text.

Purpose and legal bases

The con­fer­ence tools are used to com­mu­ni­cate with prospec­tive or existing con­trac­tu­al partners or to offer certain services to our cus­tomers (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR). Fur­ther­more, the use of the tools serves to gen­er­al­ly simplify and accel­er­ate com­mu­ni­ca­tion with us or our company (legit­i­mate interest in the meaning of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). Insofar as consent has been request­ed, the tools in question will be used on the basis of this consent; the consent may be revoked at any time with effect from that date.

Storage duration

Data col­lect­ed directly by us via the video and con­fer­ence tools will be deleted from our systems imme­di­ate­ly after you request us to delete it, revoke your consent to storage, or the reason for storing the data no longer applies. Stored cookies remain on your end device until you delete them. Manda­to­ry legal reten­tion periods remain unaf­fect­ed.

We have no influ­ence on the duration of storage of your data that is stored by the oper­a­tors of the con­fer­ence tools for their own purposes. For details, please directly contact the oper­a­tors of the con­fer­ence tools.

Used con­fer­ence tools

We employ the fol­low­ing con­fer­ence tools:

Microsoft Teams

We use Microsoft Teams. The provider is Microsoft Cor­po­ra­tion, One Microsoft Way, Redmond, WA 98052–6399, USA. For details on data pro­cess­ing, please refer to the Microsoft Teams privacy policy: https://privacy.microsoft.com/en-us/privacystatement.

Data pro­cess­ing

We have con­clud­ed a data pro­cess­ing agree­ment (DPA) with the above-men­tioned provider. This is a contract mandated by data privacy laws that guar­an­tees that they process personal data of our website visitors only based on our instruc­tions and in com­pli­ance with the GDPR.
