Processing of your data within the framework of our company's core business

 

 

If you are our customer or business partner or are interested in our services, the nature, scope, and purpose of the processing of your data depend on the contractual or pre-contractual relationships existing between us. In this sense, the data processed by us includes all data that is or was provided by you for the purpose of using the contractual or pre-contractual services and that is required to process your inquiry or the contract concluded between us. Unless otherwise stated in the further information in this privacy policy, the processing of your data and its disclosure to third parties is limited to the data that is necessary and appropriate to answer your inquiries and/or to fulfill the contract concluded between you and us, to safeguard our rights, and to fulfill legal obligations. We will inform you before or during the data collection process which data is required for this. If we use third-party providers to provide our services, the privacy policies of the respective third-party providers apply.

 

 

Affected data:

 

 

  • Inventory data (e.g., names, addresses)
  • Payment data (e.g., bank details, invoices)
  • Contact data (e.g., email address, telephone number, postal address)
  • Contract data (e.g., subject of contract, contract duration)

 

 

Affected persons: Interested parties, business and contractual partners

 

 

Purpose of processing: Processing of contractual services, communication and answering contact inquiries, office and organizational procedures

 

 

Legal basis: Contract fulfillment and pre-contractual inquiries, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR, legal obligation, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR, legitimate interest, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR

 

 

Your rights under the GDPR

 

 

Under the GDPR, you have the following rights, which you can assert at any time with the controller named in section 1 of this privacy policy:

 

 

  • Right to information: You have the right to request information from us about whether and what data we process about you.
  • Right to rectification: You have the right to request the rectification of inaccurate data or the completion of incomplete data.
  • Right to erasure: You have the right to request the erasure of your data.
  • Right to restriction of processing: In certain cases, you have the right to request that we restrict the processing of your data.
  • Right to data portability: You have the right to request that we transmit your data to you or another controller in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format.
  • Right to lodge a complaint: You have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. The supervisory authority responsible is that of your usual place of residence, your workplace, or our company headquarters.

 

 

Right of withdrawal

 

 

You have the right to withdraw your consent to data processing at any time.

 

 

Right to object

 

 

You have the right to object at any time to the processing of your data that we base on our legitimate interest according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. If you exercise your right to object, we ask you to state the reasons. We will then no longer process your personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that override your interests and rights.

 

 

Notwithstanding the above, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of your personal data for the purposes of advertising and data analysis.

 

 

Please address your objection to the contact address of the controller provided above.

 

 

When do we delete your data?

 

 

We delete your data when we no longer need it or you instruct us to do so. This means that – unless otherwise stated in the individual privacy notices of this privacy policy – we delete your data,

 

 

  • when the purpose of the data processing has ceased to apply and thus the respective legal basis mentioned in the individual privacy notices no longer exists, i.e., for example,
    • after the termination of the contractual or membership relations existing between us (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR) or
    • after the cessation of our legitimate interest in the further processing or storage of your data (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR),
  • if you exercise your right of withdrawal and no other legal basis for processing in the sense of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b-f GDPR applies,
  • if you exercise your right to object and there are no compelling legitimate reasons against deletion.

 

 

However, if we still need to retain (certain parts of) your data for other purposes, for example, because tax retention periods (generally 6 years for business correspondence or 10 years for accounting records) or the assertion, exercise, or defense of legal claims arising from contractual relationships (up to four years) require it, or the data is needed to protect the rights of another natural or legal person, we will only delete (the part of) your data after these periods have expired. Until the expiry of these periods, however, we will restrict the processing of this data to these purposes (fulfillment of retention obligations).

 

 

Cloud Services

 

 

We use cloud services in particular for

 

 

  • storing and editing documents,
  • sending documents via email or exchanging files of any kind,
  • our calendar appointment management,
  • preparing and executing presentations and spreadsheets,
  • publishing files of any kind,
  • internal and external communication via chats, audio and video conferences.

 

 

The software applications we use for these purposes are provided to us by the providers listed below on their servers. We access these servers via the Internet. Insofar as you transmit your data to us in the context of communication with us or in other processes explained by us in this privacy policy, we process this data in the cloud service we use. This means that your data is stored on the servers of the third-party cloud provider. The third-party providers process usage and metadata to secure their servers and to optimize their services. In particular, we process and store your contact, customer, and contract data.

 

 

If we make files of any kind publicly available via our website using the cloud service we use, the respective third-party cloud service provider may store cookies on your computer system if you access these files. The service provider may process the data collected in this way to analyze your user behavior or your browser settings.

We point out that, depending on the country of domicile of the service provider named below, the data specified in more detail below may be transferred to and processed on servers outside the European Union. In this case, there is a risk that the level of data protection required by the GDPR will not be maintained and that the enforcement of your rights may not be possible or may be difficult. If the service provider we use only offers data processing within the EU, we intend – if not already implemented – to process your data exclusively there.

 

 

Affected data:

 

 

  • Inventory data (e.g., names, addresses),
  • Contact data (e.g., email addresses, telephone and mobile numbers)
  • Content data (e.g., photos, videos, texts),
  • Usage data (e.g., access times, visited websites, interest in content),
  • Metadata (e.g., IP address, computer system information)

Online Advertising

 

 

We use services for displaying internet advertising. Certain user data is collected by the services we use via a cookie or pixel. This includes, in particular, information about which website you accessed our website from (so-called referrer), which pages of our website you accessed, how long you visited our pages, and which interactions you performed there. In addition, data about the browser you use, your computer system, and the device type are collected. Furthermore, such a service can also collect demographic information, such as age or gender, as pseudonymous values. If you have consented to the collection of your location data, this may also be processed, depending on the provider. To collect and store this data, the respective service places a cookie or a so-called tracking pixel on the device you are using, which also collects the IP address assigned to you. However, this is truncated via a so-called IP masking procedure, so that the IP address can no longer be assigned to your visit to our website. In principle, when the respective service is used, no clear data such as names or e-mail addresses are stored. This is only the case if you are a member of a social network that offers one of the services listed below and combines your profile with the aforementioned data material.

 

 

The data is evaluated by the service we use to generate a report with statistical statements about the number of visitors generated by the advertising and the success of the advertising measure. The reports show, among other things, the total number of users who were redirected to our website via our ads. In addition, the reports contain information about the end devices and browsers of the users, the locations of the users, and the times when the advertisement was clicked. However, the reports do not contain any information that would allow you to personally identify yourself as a user of our site.

 

 

Please note that, depending on the location of the service provider, the data collected via the service may be transferred and processed outside the European Union. In this case, there is a risk that the level of data protection required by the GDPR will not be maintained and that the enforcement of your rights will not be possible or will only be possible with difficulty.

 

 

Affected data:

 

 

  • Usage data (e.g., access times, clicked websites)
  • Communication data (e.g., information about the device used, IP address)

 

 

Affected persons: Users of our online offers

 

 

Purpose of processing: Reach measurement, success monitoring of campaigns, remarketing, and interest- and behavior-based marketing

 

 

Legal basis: If we have asked for your consent before using the respective service, this constitutes the legal basis, Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR. Otherwise, we use the respective service based on our legitimate interest in directing visitor traffic to our website and analyzing this visitor traffic in order to continuously improve the functions, offers, and user experience, Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR.

Web analysis and statistics

 

 

To record and statistically evaluate visitor flows on our website, we use web analysis services. Such services collect data including, but not limited to, from which website you accessed our website (so-called referrers), which pages of our website you accessed, how long you visited our pages, and which interactions you performed there. In addition, data about the browser you use, your computer system, and the device type are collected. Furthermore, such a service can also collect demographic information, such as age or gender, as pseudonymous values. If you have consented to the collection of your location data, this may also be processed, depending on the provider.

 

 

To collect and store this data, the web analysis service we use generally places a cookie on the device you are using, which also collects the IP address assigned to you. However, this is truncated via a so-called IP masking procedure, so that the IP address can no longer be assigned to your visit to our website. Furthermore, no clear data such as names or e-mail addresses are stored. Neither we nor the service we use know the identity of the visitors to our websites.

 

 

Please note that, depending on the country of establishment of the service provider named below, the data collected via the service may be transferred and processed outside the European Union. In this case, there is a risk that the level of data protection required by the GDPR will not be maintained and that the enforcement of your rights will not be possible or will only be possible with difficulty.

 

 

Affected data:

 

 

  • Usage data (e.g. access times, clicked websites)
  • Communication data (e.g. information about the device used, IP address).

 

 

Affected persons: Users of our online offers

 

 

Purpose of processing: Reach measurement, success monitoring of campaigns, remarketing and interest- and behavior-based marketing

 

 

Legal basis: If we have asked for your consent before using the respective service, this constitutes the legal basis, Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR. Otherwise, we use the respective service based on our legitimate interest in analyzing the visitor flows of our websites in order to continuously improve the functions, offers, and user experience, Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR.

Messenger Services

 

 

We communicate via messenger services. Messenger services are chat programs that allow users to send text messages, as well as image or video files, in real time over the internet. In addition, messenger services can also be used to transmit emoticons, electronic greeting cards, and contacts. For messages to be transmitted, participants must be connected to each other directly or via a server with a computer program (called a client) over a network such as the internet. As a rule, messages can also be sent when the conversation partner is not online – the message is then temporarily stored by the service's server and later delivered to the recipient when they are available again. Finally, these services can also be used for screen sharing and online games.

 

 

If the service uses end-to-end encryption for the content sent (texts, attachments), only the selected communication partners, but not third parties or the service provider itself, can view the message. In this respect, we recommend regularly installing updates for the service to ensure the encryption of the content. However, the service provider has the possibility to access the metadata of the communication. This includes the time and (depending on the settings) location of the communication, as well as the device you are using.

 

 

We would like to point out that, depending on the country of establishment of the provider mentioned below, the data collected via its platform may be transferred to and processed outside the European Union. In this case, there is a risk that the level of data protection required by the GDPR will not be maintained and that the enforcement of your rights may not be possible or may only be possible with difficulty.

In this respect, we clarify that we will not transmit your contact data to the service provider for the first time without your consent. If we communicate with you in the context of initiating a contract or within an existing contractual relationship via one of the services mentioned below, the legal basis is the fulfillment or preparation of the contract, Art. 6 (1) lit. b GDPR. Otherwise, we rely on our legitimate interests in fast and efficient communication and in fulfilling the needs of our communication partners for communication with the services mentioned below, Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR.
