However, if you would like to use special services of our company via our website, processing of personal data could become necessary. If the processing of personal data is necessary and there is no legal basis for such processing, we generally obtain your consent.

As the person responsible for processing, we have implemented numerous technical and organizational measures to ensure the most complete protection possible for the personal data processed via this website. Nevertheless, internet-based data transmissions can generally have security gaps, so that absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, you are free to transmit personal data to us in alternative ways, for example by telephone or post.

4. Definitions

The data protection declaration is based on the terminology used by the European directors and regulators when the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) was adopted. Our data protection declaration should be easy to read and understand for the public as well as for our customers and business partners. To ensure this, we would like to explain the terms used in advance.

We use the following terms in this privacy policy, including but not limited to:

Personal data
Personal data is any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. A natural person is considered to be identifiable if, directly or indirectly, in particular by means of assignment to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more special features, the expression of the physical, physiological, genetic, psychological, economic, cultural or social identity of this natural person can be identified.
Affected person
Data subject is any identified or identifiable natural person whose personal data is processed by the controller (our company).
application
Processing means any process or series of operations related to personal data, such as collecting, recording, organizing, arranging, storing, adapting or modifying, reading, querying, using, with or without the aid of automated procedures; disclosure by submission, dissemination or other form of provision, reconciliation or association, restriction, erasure or destruction.
Restriction of processing
Restriction of the processing is the marking of stored personal data with the aim to limit their future processing.
Profiling
Profiling is any kind of automated processing of personal data that consists in using that personal information to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular aspects regarding analysing or predicting job performance, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behavior, whereabouts or relocation of that natural person.
pseudonymization
Pseudonymisation is the processing of personal data in such a way that personal data can no longer be attributed to a specific data subject without the need for additional information, provided that such additional information is kept separate and subject to technical and organizational measures to ensure that the personal data not assigned to an identified or identifiable natural person.
processors
The processor is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body that processes personal data on behalf of the responsible party.
Recipients
Recipient is a natural or legal person, agency, institution or other entity to whom Personal Data is disclosed, whether or not it is a third party. However, authorities which may receive personal data under Union or national law in connection with a particular mission are not considered as beneficiaries.
third
A third party is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or institution other than the data subject, the controller, the processor and the persons authorized under the direct responsibility of the controller or the processor to process the personal data.
consent
Consent is any expression of will voluntarily given by the data subject in an informed manner and unequivocally for the specific case in the form of a declaration or other clear confirmatory action with which the data subject indicates that they consent to the processing of their personal data is.

5. Legal basis for processing

Article 6 (1) (a) GDPR (in conjunction with Section 25 (1) TTDSG) serves our company as the legal basis for processing operations for which we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose.

If the processing of personal data is necessary to fulfill a contract to which you are a party, as is the case, for example, with processing operations that are necessary for the delivery of goods or the provision of another service or consideration, the processing is based on Art. 6 paragraph 1 lit. b GDPR. The same applies to such processing operations that are necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures, for example in the case of inquiries about our products or services.

If our company is subject to a legal obligation which requires the processing of personal data, such as the fulfillment of tax obligations, the processing is based on Article 6 (1) (c) GDPR.

In rare cases, the processing of personal data could become necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor were injured in our company and his name, age, health insurance data or other vital information would have to be passed on to a doctor, hospital or other third party. Then the processing would be based on Article 6 Paragraph 1 Letter d GDPR.

Ultimately, processing operations could be based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. Processing operations that are not covered by any of the aforementioned legal bases are based on this legal basis if the processing is necessary to protect a legitimate interest of our company or a third party, provided that the interests, fundamental rights and fundamental freedoms of the person concerned do not prevail. Such processing operations are permitted to us in particular because they have been specifically mentioned by the European legislator. In this respect, he took the view that a legitimate interest could be assumed if you are a customer of our company (recital 47 sentence 2 DS-GVO).

Our offer is basically aimed at adults. Persons under the age of 16 may not transmit any personal data to us without the consent of their parents or legal guardians. We do not request any personal data from children and young people, do not collect it and do not pass it on to third parties.

6. Transmission of data to third parties

Your personal data will not be transmitted to third parties for purposes other than those listed below.

We only pass on your personal data to third parties if:

you have given us your express consent to this in accordance with Article 6 (1) (a) GDPR,
the transfer according to Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f DS-GVO is permissible to protect our legitimate interests and there is no reason to assume that you have an overriding legitimate interest in not disclosing your data,
in the event that there is a legal obligation for the transfer according to Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. c DS-GVO, as well as
this is legally permissible and required for the processing of contractual relationships with you in accordance with Article 6 (1) (b) GDPR.

In order to protect your data and, if necessary, to enable us to transfer data to third countries (outside the EU/EEA), we have concluded agreements on order processing based on the standard contractual clauses of the European Commission. If the standard contractual clauses are not sufficient to create an adequate level of security, your consent can serve as the legal basis for transmission to third countries in accordance with Article 49 (1) (a) GDPR. This sometimes does not apply to data transfers to third countries for which the European Commission has issued an adequacy decision in accordance with Art. 45 GDPR.

Your personal data will not be transmitted to third parties for purposes other than those listed below.

We only pass on your personal data to third parties if:

you have given us your express consent to this in accordance with Article 6 (1) (a) GDPR,
the transfer according to Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f DS-GVO is permissible to protect our legitimate interests and there is no reason to assume that you have an overriding legitimate interest in not disclosing your data,
in the event that there is a legal obligation for the transfer according to Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. c DS-GVO, as well as
this is legally permissible and required for the processing of contractual relationships with you in accordance with Article 6 (1) (b) GDPR.

As part of the processing operations described in this data protection declaration, personal data may be transmitted to the USA. The USA does not have an adequate level of data protection (ECJ: Schrems II judgment). In particular, US investigative authorities can oblige US companies to hand over or disclose personal data without the persons concerned being able to take effective legal action against this. In principle, there is the possibility that your personal data will be processed by US investigative authorities. We have no influence on these processing activities. In order to protect your data, we have concluded data processing agreements based on the standard contractual clauses of the European Commission. If the standard contractual clauses are not sufficient to create an adequate level of security, your consent can serve as the legal basis for transmission to third countries in accordance with Article 49 (1) (a) GDPR. This sometimes does not apply to data transfers to third countries for which the European Commission has issued an adequacy decision in accordance with Art. 45 GDPR.

9.1 Contact / contact form

When contacting us (e.g. via contact form or e-mail), personal data is collected. Which data is collected when using a contact form can be seen from the respective contact form. This data is stored and used exclusively for the purpose of answering your request or for establishing contact and the associated technical administration. The legal basis for processing the data is our legitimate interest in answering your request in accordance with Article 6 Paragraph 1 Letter f of the GDPR. If your contact is aimed at concluding a contract, the additional legal basis for processing is Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR. Your data will be deleted after your request has been finally processed. This is the case if it can be inferred from the circumstances that the facts in question have been finally clarified and the deletion does not conflict with any statutory storage obligations.

9.2 Blog comment function

We offer users the opportunity to leave individual comments on individual blog posts on a blog located on our website. A blog is a portal maintained on a website, usually open to the public, in which one or more people called bloggers or web bloggers can post articles or write down thoughts in so-called blog posts. The blog posts can usually be commented on by third parties.

If you leave a comment in the blog published on this website, information about the time you entered the comment and the user name you have chosen will be saved and published in addition to the comments you have left. The IP address assigned by your internet service provider (ISP) is also logged. The IP address is stored for security reasons and in the event that you have violated the rights of third parties or posted illegal content by submitting a comment. The storage of this personal data is therefore in our own interest, so that we can exculpate ourselves in the event of a violation of the law. This represents a legitimate interest within the meaning of Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR. This personal data collected will not be passed on to third parties unless such a transfer is required by law or serves our legal defense.

9.3 Application management / job exchange

We collect and process the personal data of applicants for the purpose of handling the application process. The processing can also take place electronically. This is particularly the case if an applicant sends us relevant application documents electronically, for example by e-mail or via a web form on the website. If we conclude an employment or service contract with an applicant, the transmitted data will be stored for the purpose of processing the employment relationship in compliance with the statutory provisions. If we do not conclude a contract with the applicant, the application documents will be automatically deleted two months after notification of the rejection decision, provided that no other legitimate interests on our part prevent deletion. Another legitimate interest in this sense is, for example, a burden of proof in proceedings under the General Equal Treatment Act (AGG).

The legal basis for the processing of your data is Art. 88 GDPR in conjunction with Section 26 (1) BDSG.

10. Newsletter dispatch

10.1 Newsletter dispatch to existing customers

If you have provided us with your e-mail address when purchasing goods or services, we reserve the right to regularly send you offers for goods or services from our range by e-mail that are similar to those you have already purchased. According to Section 7 (3) UWG, we do not have to obtain your separate consent for this. In this respect, data processing takes place solely on the basis of our legitimate interest in personalized direct advertising in accordance with Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR. If you initially objected to the use of your e-mail address for this purpose, we will not send you an e-mail. You are entitled to object to the use of your e-mail address for the aforementioned advertising purpose at any time with effect for the future by notifying the person responsible named at the beginning. You only incur transmission costs for this according to the basic tariffs. After receipt of your objection, the use of your e-mail address for advertising purposes will be stopped immediately.

10.2 Promotional Newsletters

On our website you are given the opportunity to subscribe to our company's newsletter. Which personal data is transmitted to us when ordering the newsletter results from the input mask used for this purpose.

We inform our customers and business partners about our offers at regular intervals by means of a newsletter. You can only receive our company's newsletter if

You have a valid email address and
you have registered to receive the newsletter.

For legal reasons, a confirmation e-mail will be sent to the e-mail address you entered for the first time for the newsletter dispatch using the double opt-in procedure. This confirmation e-mail is used to check whether you, as the owner of the e-mail address, have authorized receipt of the newsletter.

When registering for the newsletter, we also store the IP address of the IT system you used at the time of registration assigned by your Internet Service Provider (ISP) as well as the date and time of registration. The collection of this data is necessary in order to be able to trace the (possible) misuse of your e-mail address at a later date and therefore serves our legal protection.

The personal data collected as part of registering for the newsletter will only be used to send our newsletter. Furthermore, subscribers to the newsletter could be informed by e-mail if this is necessary for the operation of the newsletter service or for registration in this regard, as could be the case in the event of changes to the newsletter offer or changes in the technical conditions. The personal data collected as part of the newsletter service will not be passed on to third parties. You can cancel your subscription to our newsletter at any time. The consent to the storage of personal data that you have given us for sending the newsletter can be revoked at any time. For the purpose of revoking consent, there is a corresponding link in each newsletter. It is also possible to unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time directly on our website or to inform us of this in some other way.

The legal basis for data processing for the purpose of sending the newsletter is Article 6 (1) (a) GDPR.

10.3 Rapid Mail

For the purpose of analysis, the e-mails sent with Rapidmail, a service of rapidmail GmbH, Wentzingerstraße 21, 79106 Freiburg im Breisgau, Germany, contain a so-called "tracking pixel" that is connected to the servers when the e-mail is opened from Rapidmail connects. In this way it can be determined whether a newsletter message has been opened.

Furthermore, with the help of Rapidmail, we can determine whether and, if so, which links in the newsletter message have been clicked on. All links in the e-mail are so-called tracking links, with which your clicks can be counted.

You can find out more about Rapidmail's analysis functions from the following link: https://de.rapidmail.wiki/kategorien/statistiken/.

The data processing takes place on the basis of your consent (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a DS-GVO). You can revoke this consent at any time. The legality of the data processing operations that have already taken place remains unaffected by the revocation.

You can revoke the consent you have given at any time. You can also prevent processing at any time by unsubscribing from the newsletter. You can also prevent the storage of cookies by setting your web browser accordingly. Also by deactivating Java Script in your web browser or installing a Java Script blocker (e.g https://noscript.net or https://www.ghostery.com) you can prevent the storage and transmission of personal data. We would like to point out that these measures may mean that not all functions of our website are available.

The data you have stored with us for the purpose of subscribing to the newsletter will be stored by us until you unsubscribe from the newsletter and will be deleted both from our servers and from the Rapidmail servers after you have canceled the newsletter. Data stored by us for other purposes (e.g. e-mail addresses for the members' area) remain unaffected.

11. Our activities on social networks

So that we can also communicate with you in social networks and inform you about our services, we are represented there with our own pages.

If usage profiles are created by the provider, cookies are often used or the usage behavior is assigned to your own member profile of the social networks that you have created.

The processing operations of personal data described are carried out in accordance with Article 6 Paragraph 1 Letter f GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest and the legitimate interest of the respective provider in order to communicate with you in a timely manner or to inform you about our services can. If you have to give your consent to data processing as a user with the respective providers, the legal basis relates to Article 6(1)(a) GDPR in conjunction with Article 7 GDPR.

12.3 Google Analytics Remarketing

We have integrated Google Remarketing services on this website. The operator of the Google Remarketing services is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. Google Remarketing is a Google AdWords feature that allows a company to serve ads to Internet users who have previously visited the company's website. The integration of Google Remarketing therefore allows a company to create user-related advertising and consequently to display interest-relevant advertisements to the Internet user.

The purpose of Google Remarketing is to display interest-based advertising. Google Remarketing enables us to display advertisements via the Google advertising network or to have them displayed on other websites, which are tailored to the individual needs and interests of Internet users.

Google Remarketing places a cookie on the IT system of the data subject. By setting the cookie, Google will be able to recognize the visitor to our website if he or she subsequently calls up websites that are also members of the Google advertising network. Each time you access a website on which the Google Remarketing service has been integrated, your internet browser automatically identifies itself to Google. As part of this technical process, Google gains knowledge of personal data, such as your IP address or surfing behavior, which Google uses, among other things, to display interest-based advertising.

Personal information, such as the Internet pages you have visited, is stored by means of the cookie. Accordingly, each time you visit our website, personal data, including your IP address, is transmitted to Google in the United States of America. This personal data is stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may pass on this personal data collected via the technical process to third parties.

These processing operations only take place if you have given your express consent in accordance with Article 6 (1) (a) GDPR.

13.2 Google Ads with Conversion Tracking

We have integrated Google Ads on this website. The operator of the Google Ads services is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. Google Ads is an internet advertising service that allows advertisers to place ads on both Google's search engine results and the Google advertising network. Google Ads allows an advertiser to pre-determine certain keywords that will be used to display an ad in Google's search engine results only when the user uses the search engine to retrieve a keyword-related search result. In the Google advertising network, the ads are distributed to topic-relevant websites using an automatic algorithm and taking into account the previously defined keywords.

The purpose of Google Ads is to promote our website by displaying interest-related advertising on the websites of third-party companies and in the search engine results of the Google search engine and displaying third-party advertising on our website.

If you access our website via a Google ad, a so-called conversion cookie will be stored on your IT system by Google. A conversion cookie loses its validity after thirty days and is not used to identify you. If the cookie has not yet expired, the conversion cookie is used to determine whether certain sub-pages, such as the shopping cart from an online shop system, were accessed on our website. The conversion cookie enables both us and Google to understand whether a user who came to our website via an AdWords ad generated revenue, i.e. completed or canceled a purchase.

The data and information collected through the use of the conversion cookie are used by Google to create visit statistics for our website. In turn, we use these visit statistics to determine the total number of users who were referred to us via ads, i.e. to determine the success or failure of the respective ads and to optimize our ads for the future . Neither our company nor other Google Ads advertisers receive information from Google that could be used to identify you.

The conversion cookie is used to store personal information, such as the websites you have visited. Accordingly, each time you visit our website, personal data, including the IP address of the Internet connection you are using, is transmitted to Google in the United States of America. This personal data is stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may pass on this personal data collected via the technical process to third parties.

These processing operations only take place if you have given your express consent in accordance with Article 6 (1) (a) GDPR.
