Thank you for your interest in our website. Protecting your privacy is very important to us. We will inform you in detail about how we handle your data below.

1. Access data and hosting

You can visit our website without providing any personal information. Each time a website is accessed, the web server merely automatically stores a so-called server log file, which contains, for example, the name of the requested file, your IP address, the date and time of the request, the amount of data transferred and the requesting provider (access data) and documents the request. This access data is analyzed solely for the purpose of ensuring smooth operation of the site and improving our offering. This serves to safeguard our legitimate interests in the proper presentation of our offering in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (1) (f) GDPR, which are overriding in the process of balancing of interests. All access data is deleted no later than seven days after the end of your visit to the site.

Hosting

The services for hosting and displaying the website are partly provided by our service providers as part of processing on our behalf. Unless otherwise stated in this data protection declaration, all access data and all data collected in the forms provided on this website are processed on their servers. If you have any questions about our service providers and the basis of our cooperation with them, please use the contact option described in this data protection declaration.

2. Data processing for establishing contact and customer communication

Establishing contact

When you contact us, we collect personal data in order to process your requests in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR if you voluntarily provide it to us when you contact us (e.g. using a contact form, live chat tool or email). Mandatory fields are marked as such because we absolutely need the data in these cases in order to process your request. The data collected can be seen from the respective input forms. After complete processing of your request, your data will be deleted, unless you have expressly consented to further use of your data in accordance with Art. 6 (1) 1 lit. a GDPR or we reserve the right to use data in excess thereof, which is permitted by law and about which we inform you in this statement.

After your customer request has been fully processed, the further processing of your data will be restricted and, after the expiry of the tax and commercial law retention periods, it will be deleted in accordance with Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. c GDPR, unless you have expressly consented to the further use of your data in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a DSGVO have consented to or we reserve the right to use the data for other purposes that are permitted by law and about which we inform you in this statement.

3. Social Media

Our online presence on LinkedIn

If you have given your consent to the respective social media operator in accordance with Art. 6 (1) 1 lit. a GDPR, your data will be automatically collected and stored for market research and advertising purposes when you visit our online presences on the social media sites mentioned above, from which user profiles are created using pseudonyms. These can be used, for example, to place advertisements inside and outside the platforms that presumably correspond to your interests. As a rule, cookies are used for this purpose. For detailed information on the processing and use of the data by the respective social media provider, as well as a contact option and your rights and setting options for protecting your privacy, please refer to the providers‘ data protection information linked below. However, should you require any assistance in this regard, please do not hesitate to contact us.

LinkedIn is provided by LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company, Wilton Place, Dublin 2, Ireland (“LinkedIn”). The information automatically collected by LinkedIn about your use of our online presence on LinkedIn is usually transferred to a server of the LinkedIn Corporation, 1000 W. Maude Avenue, Sunnyvale, CA 94085, USA and stored there.

Our service providers are based and/or use servers in the following countries for which the European Commission has determined an adequate level of data protection by decision: USA.

The adequacy decision for the USA is considered the basis for the third-country transfer, provided that the respective service provider is certified. Certification has been provided.
