Security and protection of your personal data
We consider it our primary responsibility to maintain the confidentiality of the personal data you provide and to protect it from unauthorized access. Therefore, we apply the utmost care and state-of-the-art security standards to ensure maximum protection of your personal data.
As a private company, we are subject to the provisions of the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the regulations of the German Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG). We have implemented technical and organizational measures to ensure that data protection regulations are observed by both us and our external service providers.
Definitions
The law requires that personal data be processed lawfully, fairly, and in a transparent manner in relation to the data subject (“lawfulness, fairness, and transparency”). To ensure this, we inform you about the individual legal definitions that are also used in this privacy policy:
Personal data
“Personal data” means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (hereinafter referred to as “data subject”); an identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person.
Processing:
“Processing” means any operation or set of operations which is performed on personal data or on sets of personal data, whether or not by automated means, such as collection, recording, organisation, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure or destruction.
Restriction of processing:
“Restriction of processing” is the marking of stored personal data with the aim of limiting its future processing.
Profiling:
“Profiling” means any form of automated processing of personal data consisting of the use of personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to analyze or predict aspects concerning that natural person’s performance at work, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behavior, location or movements.
Pseudonymization
is the processing of personal data in such a manner that the personal data can no longer be attributed to a specific data subject without the use of additional information, provided that such additional information is kept separately and is subject to technical and organizational measures to ensure that the personal data cannot be attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.
A
"file system" is any structured collection of personal data which is accessible according to specific criteria, regardless of whether this collection is maintained centrally, decentrally or according to functional or geographical considerations.
Controller: The term
“controller” means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data; where the purposes and means of such processing are determined by Union or Member State law, the controller or the specific criteria for its designation may be provided for by Union or Member State law.
Data processor
“Data processor” is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which processes personal data on behalf of the controller.
A recipient
is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body to whom personal data are disclosed, whether a third party or not. However, public authorities which may receive personal data in the framework of a particular inquiry in accordance with Union or Member State law shall not be regarded as recipients; the processing of those data by those public authorities shall be in compliance with the applicable data protection rules according to the purposes of the processing.
Third
party means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or body other than the data subject, controller, processor and persons who, under the direct authority of the controller or processor, are authorized to process personal data.
Consent
“Consent” of the data subject means any freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous indication of the data subject’s wishes by which he or she, by a statement or by a clear affirmative action, signifies agreement to the processing of personal data relating to him or her.
Lawfulness of processing
The processing of personal data is only lawful if there is a legal basis for the processing. According to Article 6(1)(a) to (f) GDPR, the legal basis for processing may be, in particular:
The data subject has given consent to the processing of their personal data for one or more specific purposes;
processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party or in order to take steps at the request of the data subject prior to entering into a contract;
processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which the controller is subject;
processing is necessary in order to protect the vital interests of the data subject or of another natural person;
processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller;
processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by the controller or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject which require protection of personal data, in particular where the data subject is a child.

Rights of the data subject

You can contact us at any time to exercise your right of withdrawal.
Right to confirmation:
You have the right to request confirmation from the data controller as to whether or not we process personal data concerning you. You can request this confirmation at any time using the contact details provided above.

If personal data is transferred to a third country or to an international organization, you have the right to be informed of the appropriate safeguards pursuant to Article 46 GDPR relating to the transfer. We will provide a copy of the personal data undergoing processing. For any further copies you request, we may charge a reasonable fee based on administrative costs. If you make the request electronically, the information will be provided in a commonly used electronic format, unless you specify otherwise. The right to obtain a copy pursuant to paragraph 3 must not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others.
Right to rectification:
You have the right to request that we immediately rectify any inaccurate personal data concerning you. Taking into account the purposes of the processing, you have the right to have incomplete personal data completed, including by means of providing a supplementary statement.
Right to erasure (“right to be forgotten”)
You have the right to request that the controller erase personal data concerning you without undue delay, and we are obligated to erase personal data without undue delay where one of the following grounds applies:
The personal data are no longer necessary in relation to the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed.
The data subject withdraws consent on which the processing is based according to point (a) of Article 6(1) or point (a) of Article 9(2) of the GDPR, and where there is no other legal ground for the processing.
The data subject objects to the processing pursuant to Article 21(1) of the GDPR and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing, or the data subject objects to the processing pursuant to Article 21(2) of the GDPR.
The personal data have been unlawfully processed.
The personal data have to be erased for compliance with a legal obligation in Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject.
The personal data were collected in relation to information society services offered, in accordance with Article 8(1) of the GDPR.
Where the controller has made the personal data public and is obliged pursuant to paragraph 1 to erase them, the controller, taking account of available technology and the cost of implementation, shall take reasonable steps, including technical measures, to inform controllers which are processing the personal data that the data subject has requested the erasure by such controllers of any links to, or copies or replications of, those personal data.
The right to erasure (“right to be forgotten”) does not apply to the extent that processing is necessary:
for exercising the right of freedom of expression and information;
for compliance with a legal obligation which requires processing under Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject, or for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller;
for reasons of public interest in the area of public health in accordance with Article 9(2)(h) and (i) as well as Article 9(3) GDPR;
for archiving purposes in the public interest, scientific or historical research purposes or statistical purposes in accordance with Article 89(1) GDPR, insofar as the right referred to in paragraph 1 is likely to render impossible or seriously impair the achievement of the objectives of that processing; or
for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.
Right to restriction of processing
You have the right to request that we restrict the processing of your personal data if one of the following conditions applies:
the accuracy of the personal data is contested by the data subject, for a period enabling the controller to verify the accuracy of the personal data;
the processing is unlawful and the data subject opposes the erasure of the personal data and requests the restriction of their use instead;
the controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of the processing, but they are required by the data subject for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims; or
the data subject has objected to processing pursuant to Article 21(1) GDPR pending the verification whether the legitimate grounds of the controller override those of the data subject.
If processing has been restricted in accordance with the above-mentioned conditions, these personal data – apart from being stored – will only be processed with the consent of the data subject or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interest of the Union or of a Member State.
To exercise the right to restrict processing, the data subject can contact us at any time using the contact details provided above.
Right to data portability
You have the right to receive the personal data concerning you, which you have provided to us, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format, and you have the right to transmit those data to another controller without hindrance from the controller to whom the personal data have been provided, where:
the processing is based on consent pursuant to Article 6(1)(a) or Article 9(2)(a) or on a contract pursuant to Article 6(1)(b) GDPR and
the processing is carried out by automated means.
When exercising your right to data portability pursuant to paragraph 1, you have the right to have your personal data transmitted directly from one controller to another, where technically feasible. The exercise of the right to data portability is without prejudice to the right to erasure (“right to be forgotten”). This right does not apply to processing necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller.
Right to object
You have the right to object, on grounds relating to your particular situation, at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you which is based on point (e) or (f) of Article 6(1) of the GDPR, including profiling based on those provisions. The controller will no longer process the personal data unless the controller demonstrates compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override the interests, rights and freedoms of the data subject, or the processing serves the purpose of establishing, exercising or defending legal claims.
If personal data is processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of your personal data for such marketing, which includes profiling to the extent that it is related to such direct marketing. If you object to processing for direct marketing purposes, your personal data will no longer be processed for these purposes.
In connection with the use of information society services, notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC, you may exercise your right to object by automated means using technical specifications.
You have the right to object, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to the processing of personal data concerning you which is carried out for scientific or historical research purposes or statistical purposes pursuant to Article 89(1), unless the processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest.
You can exercise your right to object at any time by contacting the relevant data controller.
Automated individual decision-making, including profiling:
You have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affects you. This does not apply if the decision:
is necessary for entering into, or performing, a contract between you and the controller;
is authorized by Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject and which also lays down suitable measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms and legitimate interests; or
is based on your explicit consent.
The controller shall implement appropriate measures to safeguard the rights and freedoms and legitimate interests of the data subject, including at least the right to obtain human intervention on the part of the controller, to express his or her point of view and to contest the decision.
The data subject may exercise this right at any time by contacting the relevant data controller.
Right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority
You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of your habitual residence, your place of work or the place of the alleged infringement, if you consider that the processing of personal data relating to you infringes this Regulation, without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy.
Right to an effective judicial remedy:
Without prejudice to any available administrative or extrajudicial remedy, including the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority pursuant to Article 77 GDPR, you have the right to an effective judicial remedy if you consider that your rights under this Regulation have been infringed as a result of the processing of your personal data in non-compliance with this Regulation.
YouTube with enhanced privacy, Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Google Captcha and social media plugins
Our website uses plugins from YouTube. The operator of the site is
YouTube, LLC, 901 Cherry Ave., San Bruno, CA 94066, USA.
We use YouTube in enhanced privacy mode. According to YouTube, this mode prevents YouTube from storing information about visitors to this website before they watch the video. However, enhanced privacy mode does not necessarily prevent data from being shared with YouTube partners. For example, YouTube establishes a connection to the Google DoubleClick network regardless of whether you watch a video. As soon as you start a YouTube video on our website, a connection to YouTube's servers is established. This informs the YouTube server which of our pages you have visited. If you are logged into your YouTube account, you allow YouTube to directly associate your browsing behavior with your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account. Furthermore, YouTube may store various cookies on your device after a video is started. These cookies allow YouTube to obtain information about visitors to our website. This information is used, among other things, to collect video statistics, improve user-friendliness, and prevent fraud. The cookies remain on your device until you delete them. Starting a YouTube video may trigger further data processing operations over which we have no control.
YouTube is used in the interest of presenting our online content in an appealing way. This constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Article 6(1)(f) GDPR.
Further information about data protection at YouTube can be found in their privacy policy at: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de.
Use of Google Analytics
This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc. ("Google"). Google Analytics uses "cookies," which are text files placed on your computer, to help the website analyze how users use the site. The information generated by the cookie about your use of the website will generally be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States. However, if IP anonymization is activated on this website, your IP address will be shortened by Google beforehand within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of the website, compiling reports on website activity, and providing other services relating to website activity and internet usage to the website operator.
The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.
You can prevent the storage of cookies by adjusting your browser settings; however, please note that in this case you may not be able to fully utilize all the functions of this website. Furthermore, you can prevent Google from collecting and processing data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available at the following link: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de.
This website uses Google Analytics with the extension "_anonymizeIp()". This extension shortens IP addresses before further processing, thus preventing them from being linked to a specific individual. Therefore, any personal data collected about you is immediately anonymized and the personal data is promptly deleted.
We use Google Analytics to analyze and regularly improve the use of our website. The statistics we obtain allow us to improve our services and make them more interesting for you as a user. For the exceptional cases in which personal data is transferred to the USA, Google has committed to the EU-US Privacy Shield, https://www.privacyshield.gov/EU-US-Framework. The legal basis for the use of Google Analytics is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR.
Third-party provider information: Google Dublin, Google Ireland Ltd., Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, Fax: +353 (1) 436 1001. Terms of Service:
http://www.google.com/analytics/terms/de.html, Privacy Overview: http://www.google.com/intl/de/analytics/learn/privacy.html, and the Privacy Policy: http://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy.
This website also uses Google Analytics for cross-device analysis of visitor traffic, which is carried out using a user ID. You can deactivate cross-device analysis of your usage in your customer account under “My Data”, “Personal Data”.
We use the service called Google Tag Manager from Google. "Google" is a group of companies consisting of Google Ireland Ltd. (the service provider), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, and Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA, as well as other affiliated companies of Google LLC.
We have entered into a data processing agreement with Google. Google Tag Manager is a support service and only processes personal data itself for technically necessary purposes. Google Tag Manager ensures the loading of other components, which may in turn collect data. Google Tag Manager does not access this data.
You can find more information about Google Tag Manager in Google's privacy policy.
Please note that, due to US laws such as the Cloud Act, US authorities, such as intelligence agencies, may have access to personal data that is inevitably exchanged with Google when integrating this service via the Internet Protocol (TCP).
We currently use the Twitter social media plugin. We use the so-called two-click solution. This means that when you visit our site, no personal data is initially transmitted to the plugin providers. You can identify the plugin provider by the marking on the box above its initial letter or logo. We offer you the option of communicating directly with the plugin provider via the button. Only when you click on the marked field and thereby activate it will the plugin provider receive the information that you have accessed the corresponding page of our website. In addition, the data specified in Section 3 of this policy will be transmitted. According to the respective providers, in the case of Facebook and Xing, the IP address is anonymized immediately after collection in Germany. By activating the plugin, your personal data is transmitted to the respective plugin provider and stored there (in the USA for US-based providers). Since the plug-in provider collects data primarily via cookies, we recommend that you delete all cookies via your browser's security settings before clicking on the grayed-out box.
We have no influence over the data collected or the data processing operations, nor are we aware of the full extent of the data collection, the purposes of the processing, or the storage periods. We also have no information regarding the deletion of the collected data by the plug-in provider.
The plug-in provider stores the data collected about you as user profiles and uses them for advertising, market research, and/or the needs-based design of its website. Such analysis is carried out in particular (even for users who are not logged in) to display targeted advertising and to inform other users of the social network about your activities on our website. You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles, but you must contact the respective plug-in provider to exercise this right. The plug-ins allow you to interact with social networks and other users, enabling us to improve our services and make them more interesting for you. The legal basis for the use of these plug-ins is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR.
To improve data security when submitting forms, we use the Google reCAPTCHA service in some areas of our website. Google's privacy policy applies, which can be viewed at https://www.google.com/policies/privacy . Only necessary data such as IP address, browser and operating system type, and matching data for any existing Google account are used. Please note that this is in our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR, as we need to be able to distinguish between form submissions by a human and misuse, e.g., by an automated bot.
Data is transferred regardless of whether you have an account with the plug-in provider and are logged in. If you are logged in to the plug-in provider, the data we collect from you will be directly associated with your existing account with that provider. If you click the activated button and, for example, share the page, the plug-in provider will also store this information in your user account and share it publicly with your contacts. We recommend that you log out of social networks regularly after use, and especially before activating the button, as this will prevent the data from being associated with your profile on the plug-in provider's platform.
Further information on the purpose and scope of data collection and processing by the plug-in provider can be found in the privacy policies of these providers, which are linked below. There you will also find further information on your rights and settings options for protecting your privacy.
Addresses of the respective plug-in providers and URLs with their privacy policies:
Twitter, Inc., 1355 Market St, Suite 900, San Francisco, California 94103, USA; https://twitter.com/privacy. Twitter has committed to the EU-US Privacy Shield, https://www.privacyshield.gov/EU-US-Framework.
