This website uses the Google reCAPTCHA service, operated by Google Ireland Ltd. (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland; hereinafter "Google"), which protects the website from spam and abuse.

Cookies from other Google services such as Gmail, Search, and Analytics are also read by Google in this case. Data collected and stored when using Google reCAPTCHA is sent to Google in encrypted form. Whether the captcha is displayed on the page in the form of a checkbox or text input is determined by Google's subsequent evaluation. Personal data from the input fields of the respective form is not read or stored.

The legal basis for the use of reCAPTCHA is Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR and § 25 (1) TDDDG, provided that consent within the meaning of the TDDDG refers to the setting of cookies or access to information on your end device.

This website uses Cloudflare's bot management service, operated by Cloudflare, Inc., 101 Townsend St, San Francisco, CA 94107, USA (hereinafter: “Cloudflare”), to secure and stabilize the website against abusive or automated traffic.

The Cloudflare service identifies and reduces potentially harmful access through automated requests (“bots”), thereby helping to maintain the functionality, security, and performance of the website.

We want to make communication with interested parties, customers, and users easier and more in line with current technical and practical realities. That's why we use conference tools for video and audio conferences. You can find out which individual web conferencing tools we use in the following section.

As a rule, data representing metadata and technical data of the users and the conferences is collected first. Metadata includes, for example, the duration of the conference, the period of participation, the number of participants, or the name and/or description of the meeting. Technical data includes IP addresses and device and hardware information of the participants, such as MAC addresses, devices and operating systems, or information about peripheral devices and connection quality. When participating optionally via a mobile phone, data other than the phone number and connection data may also be stored. In addition, the data collected includes all data that you provide for the use of the service (some of which is optional). Typical data here includes your name, phone number, email address, and other log and profile data.

During a meeting in a web conferencing tool, video and audio data recorded by your microphone/camera, as well as all content that can be uploaded (messages in chats, surveys, etc., as well as other files such as presentation documents) may be processed, logged, or displayed. If you choose to use the recording function of web conferences, this data may be stored permanently, including on the service provider's servers.

However, we would like to point out that we have no influence over which data is collected. Accordingly, failure to provide the aforementioned data may mean that you will not be able to participate in the web conference. No automated decision-making takes place. Details on the processing of data by the relevant services can be found in the privacy policies of the respective services, which are described in the following section.

We use web conferencing tools to communicate with you in a simple, effective, and direct manner. The legal basis for this is our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. In the case of existing contractual relationships, the use of such a service serves the purpose of providing a service, for which the legal basis for processing is Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR. The same legal basis applies to registration and participation in an online seminar offered by us at  . If your consent has been obtained, the legal basis for the processing of the data is Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR and § 25 (1) TDDDG, provided that the consent within the meaning of the TDDDG relates to the setting of cookies or access to information on your end device. You have the right to revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future. The legality of the data processing carried out until the revocation remains unaffected.

We have no influence on the storage period of the data stored by the service providers for their own purposes. If you request us to delete your data or if the purpose for storing the data no longer applies, we will delete your data unless mandatory legal provisions prevent this. Cookies stored by you will remain on your device until you delete them.

We use the web conferencing tool Microsoft Teams. This is an application from Microsoft Ireland Operations Limited, One Microsoft Place, South County Business Park, Leopardstown, Dublin 18, Ireland; hereinafter: "Microsoft").

The personal data you provide will be collected and processed  exclusively for the purpose of conducting external and internal video conferences within the framework of a contractual relationship in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR. 

If no contractual relationship exists, the legal basis is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. Our interest here is in effective communication and exchange between the parties involved.

The provision of your personal data is necessary for the conduct of the video conferences. If you do not provide this data, you will unfortunately not be able to participate. No automated decision-making is carried out.

Personal data processed in connection with video conferences will not be passed on to third parties unless it is specifically intended for disclosure.

We would like to get in touch with you and other interested parties, customers, and users. We use various social networks for this purpose. You can find out which individual social networks we use in the following section.

As a rule, data is collected that is used for market research and advertising purposes. Such data includes the assignment of your visit to our website to your user account on the social network or the assignment by means of your stored cookies or your IP address. This is usually done by creating user profiles and determining interests based on them. This enables customized advertising to be displayed, both within and outside the social network. Therefore, cookies may be set on your device when you use social networks. However, we would like to point out that we have no influence over which data is collected.

Through our social media presence, we want to provide you with information in the simplest and fastest way possible or give you the opportunity to share such information. Therefore, unless you have consented to data processing on the respective platform, the legal basis is our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR.  If you have consented on the respective platform, your consent pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR and § 25 (1) TDDDG, provided that the consent within the meaning of the TDDDG relates to the setting of cookies or access to information on your end device, is the legal basis for the processing. You have the right to withdraw your consent at any time with effect for the future. The lawfulness of the data processing until withdrawal remains unaffected.

If you withdraw your consent, request us to delete your data, or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies, we will delete your data unless mandatory legal provisions prevent this. Cookies stored by you will remain on your device until you delete them.

The data processed as a result of your visit to our social media websites is classified as data processing initiated by us and is therefore subject to joint responsibility with the operator of the social media website in accordance with Art. 26 GDPR. Joint responsibility is limited to those processing operations where the purpose and means of processing are decided jointly. If you wish to exercise your rights as a data subject, you can do so both with us and with the operator of the social media website.

Furthermore, we would like to point out that your data may also be processed outside the European Union, which means that you run the risk of not being able to properly enforce your rights.
