Cookies

Our Internet pages use so-called “cookies”. Cookies are small text files and do not cause any damage to your terminal device. They are stored either temporarily for the duration of a session (session cookies) or permanently (permanent cookies) on your end device. Session cookies are automatically deleted at the end of your visit. Permanent cookies remain stored on your end device until you delete them yourself or an automatic solution is provided by your web browser.

In some cases, cookies from third-party companies may also be stored on your terminal device when you enter our site (third-party cookies). These enable us or you to use certain services of the third-party company.

Cookies have various functions. Many cookies are technically necessary, as certain website functions would not work without them (e.g. the display of videos). Other cookies are used to evaluate user behaviour or display advertising.

Cookies that are required to carry out the electronic communication process or to provide certain functions you have requested are stored based on Art. 6 (1) lit. f DSGVO. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing cookies for the technically error-free and optimized provision of its services. If a corresponding consent has been requested (e.g. consent to store cookies), the processing is based exclusively on Art. 6 (1) lit. a DSGVO; the consent can be revoked at any time.

You can set your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies and only allow cookies in individual cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general and activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. When deactivating cookies, the functionality of this website may be limited.

The cookie settings can be managed under the following links for the respective browsers:

You can also manage cookies of many companies and functions used for advertising individually. To do this, use the corresponding user tools, available at

https://www.aboutads.info/choices/ or http://www.youronlinechoices.com/uk/your-ad-choices.

Most browsers also offer a so-called “do-not-track” function. When this feature is enabled, the respective browser tells advertising networks, websites, and applications that you do not want to be “tracked” for behavioural advertising and the like

Change cookie settings

You can revoke or change your cookie settings at any time. To do so, call up the cookie settings again via the small blue field on the right at the bottom of the screen.

Server logfiles

When you visit our website, it is technically necessary for data to be transmitted to our web server via your Internet browser. The following data is recorded during an ongoing connection for communication between your internet browser and our web server:

  • Date and time of the request
  • Name of the requested file
  • Page from which the file was requested
  • Access status
  • Web browser and operating system used
  • (Complete) IP address of the requesting computer
  • Amount of data transferred

We collect the listed data to be able to guarantee a smooth connection setup of the website and a technically error-free provision of our services. The processing of this data is necessary to visit the website. The log files are used to evaluate system security and stability as well as for administrative purposes. The legal basis for the processing of the data is our legitimate interest in the protection and functionality of our website pursuant to Art. 6 (1) lit. f DSGVO.

For reasons of technical security, in particular to defend against attempted attacks on our web server, we store this data for a short period of time. After 60 days at the latest, the data is anonymized by shortening the IP address at domain level, so that it is no longer possible to establish a link to the individual user.

SSL or TLS encryption

This site uses SSL or TLS encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or requests that you send to us as the site operator. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock symbol in your browser line.

If SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

Access to and storage of information in terminal equipment

By using our website, information (e.g. IP address) may be accessed or stored (e.g. cookies) in your terminal equipment. This access or storage may involve further processing of personal data within the meaning of the GDPR.

In cases where such access to information or such storage of information is absolutely necessary for the technically error-free provision of our services, this is done on the basis of Section 25 (1) Sentence 1, (2) No. 2 TTDSG

In cases where such a process serves other purposes (e.g. the needs-based design of our website), this will only be carried out on the basis of Section 25 (1) TTDSG with your consent in accordance with Article 6 (1) a DSGVO. The consent can be revoked at any time for the future. The requirements of the DSGVO and the Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG) apply to the processing of your personal data.

For more information on the processing of your personal data and the relevant legal bases in this context, please refer to the following sections on the specific processing activities on our website.

Data sharing and recipient

A transfer of your personal data to third parties does not take place, unless,

  • if you have given your consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. a DSGVO,
  • the disclosure is necessary for the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims pursuant to Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. f DSGVO and there is no reason to assume that you have an overriding legitimate interest in the non-disclosure of your data,
  • if there is a legal obligation for the disclosure pursuant to Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. c DSGVO, and
  • insofar as this is necessary for the processing of contractual relationships with you according to Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. b DSGVO.

In addition, we use external service providers for the processing of our services, which we have carefully selected, commissioned in writing and with whom we have concluded order processing agreements in accordance with Art. 28 DSGVO, if necessary. These are bound by our instructions and are regularly monitored by us. These are, among others, service providers for hosting, sending emails and maintenance and care of our IT systems, etc. The service providers will not disclose this data to third parties.

Data security

We take appropriate technical and organizational measures in accordance with Article 32 of the GDPR, considering the state of the art, the costs of implementation and the nature, scope, circumstances, and purposes of the processing, as well as the varying likelihood and severity of the risk to the rights and freedoms of natural persons, to ensure a level of protection appropriate to the risk. This website uses SSL encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content.

Duration of the storage of personal data

The duration of the storage of personal data is measured by the relevant statutory retention periods (e.g. from commercial law and tax law). After expiry of the respective period, the corresponding data is routinely deleted. If data is required for the fulfilment or initiation of a contract or if we have a legitimate interest in continuing to store it, the data will be deleted when it is no longer required for these purposes, or you have exercised your right of revocation or objection.

Legal obligations

The provision of personal data for the decision on the conclusion of a contract, the performance of a contract or for the implementation of pre-contractual measures is voluntary. However, we can only make the decision in the context of contractual measures if you provide such personal data that is required for the conclusion of the contract, the fulfilment of the contract or pre-contractual measures.

Automated decision making

Automated decision making or profiling according to Art. 22 DSGVO does not take place.

Subject to change

We reserve the right to adapt or update this data protection declaration, if necessary, in compliance with the applicable data protection regulations. So, we can adapt it to the current legal requirements and take into account changes to our services, e.g. when introducing new services. The current version applies to your visit

Request by e-mail, phone, or fax

If you contact us by e-mail, telephone or fax, your inquiry including all resulting personal data (name, inquiry) will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of processing your request. We do not pass on this data without your permission.

The processing of this data is based on Art. 6 (1) lit. b DSGVO, if your request is related to the performance of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on your consent (Art. 6 (1) (a) DSGVO) and/or on our legitimate interests (Art. 6 (1) (f) DSGVO), as we have a legitimate interest in the effective processing of requests addressed to us.

The data you send to us via contact requests will remain with us until you request us to delete it, revoke your consent to store it, or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies (e.g. after your request has been processed). Mandatory legal provisions – in particular, legal retention periods – remain unaffected.

External links

Social networks (YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, LinkedIn, Xing) are only integrated on our website as a link to the corresponding services. After clicking on the embedded text/image link, you will be redirected to the page of the respective provider. User information will only be transferred to the respective provider after the forwarding. For information on the handling of your personal data when using these websites, please refer to the respective data protection provisions of the providers you use.

6. Appearances in social media

In the following, you will find information on the handling of your data that is collected through your use of our social media presences on social networks and platforms. Your data will be processed in accordance with the statutory regulations.

Facebook Fanpage

Responsible entity

If the data you provide to us is also or exclusively processed by Facebook, Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour Dublin 2, Ireland, is the controller for data processing within the meaning of the GDPR in addition to us or in our place. For this purpose, we have concluded an agreement with Facebook pursuant to Art. 26 DSGVO on joint responsibility for the processing of data (Controller Addendum). This agreement specifies the data processing operations for which we or Facebook are responsible when you visit our Facebook fan page. You can view this agreement at the following link: https://www.facebook.com/legal/terms/page_controller_addendum

Since personal data is transferred by Facebook to the USA to Meta Platforms Inc. among others, further protection mechanisms are required to ensure the data protection level of the GDPR. For this purpose, the provider uses standard data protection clauses in accordance with Art. 46 (2) lit. c DSGVO. These oblige the recipient of the data in the USA to process the data in accordance with the level of protection in Europe. In cases where this cannot be ensured even by this contractual extension, we endeavour to obtain additional regulations and commitments from the recipient in the USA.

If you as a visitor to the site would like to exercise your rights (information, correction, deletion, restriction, data portability, complaint to the supervisory authority, objection or revocation), you can contact both Facebook and us.

You can adjust your advertising settings independently in your user account. To do so, click on the following link and log in:

Data processing for statistical purposes by means of page insights

Facebook provides so-called page insights for our Facebook fan page: https://www.facebook.com/business/a/page/page-insights. These are aggregated data that provide information about how people interact with our site. Page Insights may be based on personal data collected in connection with an individual’s visit to or interaction with our Page and in connection with content provided. Please be aware of what personal data you share with us through Facebook. Your data may be processed for market research and advertising purposes even if you are not logged into Facebook or do not have a Facebook account. For example, user profiles can be created from the usage behaviour and resulting interests of the users. The user profiles can in turn be used, for example, to display advertisements within and outside the platforms that presumably correspond to the interests of the users. This data collection takes place via cookies that are stored on your terminal device. Furthermore, data that is independent of the devices used by the users may also be stored in the user profiles; in particular, if the users are members of the respective platforms and logged in to them.

The legal basis for the processing is your consent pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO. Please note that we have no influence on the data collection and further processing by Facebook. As a result, we cannot provide any information about the extent to which, where and for how long the data is stored by Facebook. Furthermore, we cannot make any statements about the extent to which Facebook complies with existing deletion obligations, which evaluations and links are made with the data on the part of Facebook and to whom the data is passed on by Facebook. If you wish to avoid the processing of your personal data by Facebook, please contact us by other means.

If you have any concerns about data processing carried out by us as the data controller, you can contact our data protection officer using the contact details provided at the beginning of this privacy policy.

General data processing on the social media platforms

Data processing for market research and advertising

As a rule, personal data is processed on the company website for market research and advertising purposes. For this purpose, a cookie is set in your browser, which enables the respective provider to recognize you when you visit a website. By means of the collected data, usage profiles can be created. These are used to display advertisements within and outside the platform that presumably correspond to your interests. Furthermore, data can also be stored in the usage profiles regardless of the devices you use. This is regularly the case if you are a member of the respective platforms and logged in to them.

Data processing when contacting us

We ourselves collect personal data when you contact us, for example, with a contact form or through a messenger service such as Facebook Messenger. Which data is collected depends on the information you provide and the contact data you have provided or released. These are stored by us for the purpose of processing the request and in case of follow-up questions. Under no circumstances will we pass on the data to third parties without your consent. The legal basis for processing the data is our legitimate interest in responding to your request pursuant to Art. 6 (1) lit. f DSGVO and, if applicable, Art. 6 (1) lit. b DSGVO if your request is aimed at concluding a contract. Your data will be deleted after final processing of your request, provided that this does not conflict with any statutory retention obligations. We assume that processing is complete if it can be inferred from the circumstances that the matter in question has been conclusively clarified.

Data processing for contract management

If your contact via a social network or other platform aims at the conclusion of a contract for the delivery of goods or the provision of services with us, we process your data for the performance of the contract or for the implementation of pre-contractual measures or for the provision of the requested services. The legal basis for the processing of your data in this case is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b DSGVO. Your data will be deleted if it is no longer required for the performance of the contract or if it is determined that the pre-contractual measures do not lead to the conclusion of a contract corresponding to the purpose of the contact. Please note, however, that it may be necessary to store personal data of our contractual partners even after the conclusion of the contract in order to comply with contractual or legal obligations.

Data processing based on consent

If you are asked by the respective providers of the platforms for consent to processing for a specific purpose, the legal basis of the processing is Art. 6 (1) lit. a., Art. 7 DSGVO. Consent given can be revoked at any time with effect for the future.

Data sharing and recipients

When visiting and using the platforms listed above, a transfer of personal data to the USA or other third countries outside the EU may occur, which is why further protection mechanisms are required in these cases to ensure the level of data protection of the GDPR. For more information on whether and which suitable guarantees the providers can demonstrate for this, please see the list below.

We have no influence on the processing of your personal data by the provider and how it is handled. Likewise, we do not have any information on this. For more information, please check the privacy policy of the respective provider and, if necessary, use the opt-out / personalization options regarding data processing by the provider:

If the processing of your data is based on consent, you have the right to revoke the consent at any time with effect for the future.

Within our company, only those persons and departments (e.g. Human Resources) have access to your personal data that absolutely need it to carry out the application process or to fulfil our legal obligations. If necessary, your applications will be forwarded to the relevant responsible persons for review. Under no circumstances will your personal data be passed on to third parties without authorization.

If you have given your consent, Google will link your web and app browsing history with your Google account for this purpose. In this way, the same personalized advertising messages can be served on every end device on which you log in with your Google account.

To support this feature, Google Analytics-authenticated IDs of users are collected and temporarily linked to our Google Analytics data to define and create audiences for cross-device ad targeting.

You can permanently object to cross-device remarketing/targeting by deactivating personalized advertising in your Google account; to do so, follow this link: https://adssettings.google.com/

Since a transfer of personal data to the USA takes place, further protection mechanisms are required to ensure the level of data protection of the GDPR. To ensure this, we have agreed standard data protection clauses with the provider in accordance with Art. 46 (2) lit. c DSGVO. These oblige the recipient of the data in the USA to process the data in accordance with the level of protection in Europe. In cases where this cannot be ensured even by this contractual extension, we endeavor to obtain additional regulations and commitments from the recipient in the USA.

Google Maps

This website uses the map service Google Maps via an API. The provider is Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

To ensure data protection on this website, Google Maps is deactivated when you first enter this website. A direct connection to Google’s servers is only established when you independently activate Google Maps (consent according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO). This prevents your data from being transferred to Google when you first enter the page.

After activation, Google Maps will store your IP address. This is then usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. The provider of this site has no influence on this data transmission after the activation of Google Maps.

Since a transfer of personal data to the USA takes place, further protection mechanisms are required to ensure the level of data protection of the GDPR. To ensure this, Google uses standard data protection clauses in accordance with Art. 46 (2) lit. c DSGVO. These oblige the recipient of the data in the USA to process the data in accordance with the level of protection in Europe. In cases where this cannot be ensured by this contractual extension, we endeavor to obtain additional regulations and commitments from the recipient in the USA.

Google Tag Manager

This website uses the Google Tag Manager of Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (“Google”). Through this service, website tags can be managed via an interface. The Google Tag Manager only implements tags. This means that no cookies are used and only the user’s IP address is transmitted to Google to establish the connection. The Google Tag Manager triggers other tags, which in turn may collect data. However, the Google Tag Manager does not access this data. If a deactivation has been made at domain or cookie level, it remains in place for all tracking tags, insofar as these are implemented with the Google Tag Manager.

Wir verwenden den Google Tag Manager auf Grundlage Ihrer Einwilligung gemäß Art. 6 Abs. 1 lit. a DSGVO.

As there is a transfer of the IP address to Google in the USA, further protection mechanisms are required to ensure the data protection level of the GDPR. To ensure this, we have agreed standard data protection clauses with the provider in accordance with Art. 46 (2) lit. c DSGVO. These oblige the recipient of the data in the USA to process the data in accordance with the level of protection in Europe. In cases where this cannot be ensured even by this contractual extension, we endeavor to obtain additional regulations and commitments from the recipient in the USA.
