Processing of Your Data in the Context of Our Company's Core Business

If you are our customer, business partner, or interested in our services, the type, scope, and purpose of the processing of your data are governed by the contractual or pre-contractual relationships between us. In this sense, the data processed by us includes all data that is/was provided for the purpose of using the contractual or pre-contractual services by you and which is required for the handling of your inquiry or the contract concluded between us. Unless otherwise stated in the further information of this Privacy Policy, the processing of your data and its transfer to third parties is limited to the data that is necessary and expedient for answering your inquiries and/or for fulfilling the contract concluded between you and us, for safeguarding our rights, and for fulfilling legal obligations. We will inform you of the data required for this before or during the data collection process. If we use third-party providers to render our services, the privacy notices 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 matter of the contract, contract duration)

Affected Persons: Prospective customers, business and contractual partners

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

Legal Basis: Performance of a contract 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

According to 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 of Access: You have the right to request information from us as to whether and what data we process about you.

    Right to Rectification: You have the right to request the correction of inaccurate or completion of incomplete data.

    Right to Erasure: You have the right to request the erasure of your data.

    Right to Restriction of Processing: You have the right to request that we restrict the processing of your data only in certain cases.

    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 of your usual place of residence, your workplace, or our company headquarters is responsible.

Right to Withdraw Consent

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.

Irrespective of the foregoing, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of your personal data for marketing and data analysis purposes.

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 when 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, e.g.,

        after the termination of the contractual or membership relations between us (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR) or

        after the cessation of our legitimate interest in the continued processing or storage of your data (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR),

    if you exercise your right to withdraw consent and no other legal basis for the processing within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b−f GDPR intervenes,

    if you exercise your right to object and there are no compelling legitimate grounds against the erasure.

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

Cookies

Our website uses cookies. Cookies are small text files, consisting of a series of numbers and letters, which are placed and stored on the device you use. Cookies primarily serve to exchange information between the device you use and our website. This includes, among other things, the language settings on a website, the login status, or the point at which a video was watched.

Two types of cookies are used when visiting our websites:

    Temporary Cookies (Session Cookies): These store a so-called session ID, which can be used to assign various requests from your browser to the common session. Session cookies are deleted when you log out or close your browser.

    Permanent Cookies: Permanent cookies remain stored even after the browser is closed. This allows our website to recognize your computer when you return to our website. For example, information about language settings or log-in information is stored in these cookies. Furthermore, your surfing behavior can be documented and stored with these cookies. This data can be used for statistical, marketing, and personalization purposes.

In addition to the classification above, cookies can also be differentiated with regard to their purpose:

    Necessary Cookies: These are cookies that are absolutely essential for the operation of our website, to store logins or shopping carts for the duration of your session, or cookies that are set for security reasons.

    Statistical, Marketing, and Personalization Cookies: These are cookies that are used for analysis purposes or reach measurement. Such "tracking" cookies can, in particular, store information on search terms entered or the frequency of page views. In addition, the surfing behavior of an individual user (e.g., viewing certain content, using functions, etc.) can also be stored in a user profile. Such profiles are used to show users content that corresponds to their potential interests. If we use services through which cookies for statistical, marketing, and personalization purposes are stored on your device, we will inform you about this separately in the following sections of our Privacy Policy or in the context of obtaining your consent.

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: Displaying our websites, ensuring the operation of our websites, improving our online offer, communication and marketing

Legal Basis:

    Legitimate Interest, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR

        If we do not obtain your consent to set cookies, we base the processing of your data on our legitimate interest in improving the quality and user-friendliness of our website, especially the content and functions. You have the option to object to the use of cookies set by us based on our legitimate interest via the security settings of your browser. There you have the possibility to determine whether you accept no cookies at all or only on request, or determine that cookies are deleted after each closing of your browser. If cookies are deactivated for our website, not all functions of the website may be fully usable.

    Consent, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR

        If we ask you for permission to set certain cookies on your device before your visit to our website, and you consent, the legal basis is the consent you have given. We will inform you within the context of the consent about which cookies we set in detail. If you do not give this consent, only the so-called technically necessary cookies, which are required for the proper operation of our websites and their display in your browser, will be set. If you have consented to the setting of cookies, you have the option to withdraw the given consent from us at any time.

The seal of the provider embedded on our websites is played out via an interface from the respective provider's server. For this purpose, when you visit our website, a data connection is established with the provider's server. The provider receives certain data that is required to display the content of the widget to your browser. This includes the IP address assigned to you and other access data.

Web Analysis and Statistics

We use web analysis services to record and statistically evaluate the visitor flows on our internet presence. Such services record, among other things, data about which website you came to our internet presence from (so-called referrer), which pages of our internet presence you accessed, how long you visited our pages, and which interactions you carried out there. Data on the browser, computer system, and type of device you used are also 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 can also be processed, depending on the provider.

In order to collect and store this data, the web analysis service we use usually places a cookie on the device you are using, with which the IP address assigned to you is also collected. However, this is shortened via a so-called IP masking procedure, so that the IP address can no longer be assigned to your visit to our website. No clear data such as names or email addresses are stored in any other respect either. Neither we nor the service we use know the identity of the visitors to our websites.

However, when collecting the data, the service provider can create pseudonymous usage profiles with information from the use of various devices through the use of cookies.

We would like to point out that, depending on the location of the service provider mentioned below, the data collected via the service may be transferred to and processed outside the area of the European Union. In this case, there is a risk that the level of data protection prescribed by the GDPR will not be adhered to 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, campaign success monitoring, remarketing, as well as interest- and behavior-based marketing

Legal Basis: If we have asked for your consent before using the respective service, this is 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.

We use the following web analysis services:

We point out that, depending on the location of the service provider mentioned below, the data specified in more detail below may be transferred to and processed on servers outside the area of the European Union.
