External service providers for the support of our IT systems and software solutions, suppliers and business partners are involved as data processors in compliance with data protection (Art. 28 GDPR).

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 revocation remains unaffected.

Your personal data, which you provide us via the contact form, will be stored by us for the duration of the processing of your request and, in addition, until the legal retention period ends. Thereafter, your data will be deleted or restricted or destroyed in accordance with data protection.

Newsletter with performance measurement

Insofar as you order our electronic newsletter, your personal data will only be processed for the purpose of regular sending of our newsletter on the basis of Art. 6 Abs. 1 UAbs. 1  lit. a) GDPR i. c. w. § 7 Abs. 2 Nr. 3 UWG or on the basis of the legal permission according to § 7 Abs. 3 UWG.
The logging of the registration process is based on our legitimate interests in accordance with Art. 6 Abs. 1 UAbs. 1 lit. f) GDPR and serves the proof of the consent to the receipt of the newsletter.

The registration to our newsletter takes place in a so-called double opt-in procedure. This means that after signing up you will receive an e-mail asking you to confirm your registration. This confirmation is necessary so that nobody can register with e-mail addresses of others. Registration for the newsletter will be logged in order to prove the registration process according to the legal requirements. This includes the storage of the registration and the confirmation time, as well as the IP address. Also, changes to your stored data at the shipping service provider will be logged.

The newsletters contain a so-called “web beacon” which means a pixel-sized file, which is retrieved from the server of the shipping service provider when the newsletter is opened. As part of the retrieval, technical information, such as information about the browser and your system, as well as your IP address and time of the retrieval is collected. This information is used to improve the technical services by means of the technical data or the target groups and their reading habits by means of their location of retrieval (which can be determined using the IP address) or the access times. The statistical collections also include determining whether the newsletters are opened, when they are opened and which links are clicked. The evaluations serve to recognise the reading habits of our users and to adapt our content to them or to send different content according to the interests of our users.
In the case of non-consent, we are unfortunately unable to provide you with our newsletter, to contact you and to process your request. An automated decision making is not made.

A transmission of the personal data provided by you to a third country or an international organisation does not take place and is not planned. A transfer of your personal data to external third parties takes place to the following designated order processor.

SC-Networks GmbH
Würmstraße 4
82319 Starnberg (Germany)

The service provider was integrated in compliance with data protection. A contract for order processing with the SC-Networks GmbH exists.

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 revocation remains unaffected.

Your personal data, which you provide us as part of ordering the newsletter, will be stored by us until you revoke your consent to the receipt of the newsletter and will be removed from the mailing list after you have unsubscribed from the newsletter.

Social Share Buttons

In our newsletter, links, so-called "social share buttons" to social networks are used. For data protection reasons, we have deliberately decided against using direct plug-ins from social networks in our newsletter. The link is identified, both in the email client and in the web version of the newsletter, by means of the logo of the social network Twitter, XING and LinkedIn.

Only when you actively click on the respective button (logo) of the respective social network, you agree that your internet browser establishes a direct connection to the servers of the external services. With social sharing, certain components of the mailing or the shared articles are forwarded to the external services. This includes headlines, short texts or images. No personal data is transmitted in this process.

If the "share button" (logo) is actively clicked while you are already logged in via a personal user account, the information is automatically forwarded to your timeline of the respective social network. It is possible that you can link the content of our newsletters on your profile. This makes it possible for the respective social network Twitter, XING or LinkedIn to assign your access to our newsletters. The transfer of your data only takes place after your consent has been expressly given. We would like to point out that we have no knowledge of the content of the transmitted data or its use by the respective external provider.

For a detailed description of the respective processing, we refer to the information of the providers linked below:

Protection of the stored data

We use technical and organisational security measures to protect your personal data from manipulation, loss, destruction or access by unauthorised persons. Our security measures are continuously improved and adapted according to the state of the art. It cannot be excluded that data transmitted unencrypted by you can be viewed by third parties during the transmission. It should be noted that with regard to data transmission via the Internet (e. g. in the case of communication via e-mail) no conclusive secure transmission can be ensured. Sensitive data should therefore be transferred either not at all or via a secure connection (SSL) via the Internet

Protection of minors

The consent to the processing of personal data can only be given by a person of legal age. For information society services, the consent of a child from the age of sixteen is permitted under Article 8 GDPR.

Cookies

Technically necessary cookies (session cookies)

We use technical cookies on our website to make the website more user-friendly. In order to use the full functionality of our website, it is therefore necessary for technical reasons to allow session cookies.

The purpose of using such cookies is to enable you to use the website in a simplified and more user-friendly way. It is therefore necessary for the browser to be able to identify you even after you have changed pages.

The data is not used to create a user profile of you. The legal basis for the use of technical cookies is § 25 para. 2 TTDPA. It is not possible to use the website without session cookies.

Cookies for evaluation (tracking cookies)

In addition to the use of technical cookies, tracking cookies are used on this website. Cookies are text files that are stored on your computer and enable an analysis of your use of the website. However, these collect and store data only in pseudonymous form. They are not used to identify you personally and are not merged with data about the bearer of the pseudonym. We use this information to determine the attractiveness of our website and to continuously improve its content.

The legal basis for the use of tracking cookies is the consent given by you in accordance with Section 25 (1) TTDPA.

You have the right to revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future. The legality of the data processing until the revocation remains unaffected.

You can adjust the cookie settings at any time. Individual information about the cookies and analysis services used as well as the purpose and legal basis of the data processing are further described in detail in the privacy policy.

Google Analytics

This website uses Google Analytics, a website analysis service of Google Inc. Ireland Ltd. (Gordon House, Bar-row Street, Dublin 4, Ireland; hereinafter referred to as “Google“) that uses cookies. Cookies are text files that are stored on your computer and that allow an analysis of your use of the website. Cookies transfer the gener-ated information about your use of this website usually to a server of Google in the USA and are stored there. As this website however makes an IP anonymization, your IP address will be shortened by Google beforehand within member states of the European Union or other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area.

Only in exceptional cases will the complete IP address be sent to Google in the USA and shortened there. Google uses this information on our behalf to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity, and to provide other services related to website activity and Internet usage to the website operator. There will be no merging of the Google Analytics transmitted by your browser IP address with other data from Google.
By setting your browser software accordingly, you can prevent the storage of cookies; however, please be aware that if you do this you may not be able to use the full functionality of this website. You may also prevent the collection by Google of the data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) as well as the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing  the browser plug-in available under the following link: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de.

The collection as part of this service does only take place after your explicit consent. You can prevent the collection of your data by Google Analytics by clicking the following link. An Opt-Out-Cookie is set that prevents the future collection of your data when visiting this website: Deactivate Google Analytics.

Google Ads

This website uses Google Ads, a service of Google Ireland Ltd. (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland; hereinafter "Google").

We use the conversion tracking function, for which Google Ads sets cookies on your computer if you have reached our website via an advertisement placed by Google. The data collected by the cookie is not user-related and therefore does not serve to personally identify you. The cookies lose their validity after 30 days. The data is collected for the purpose of creating conversion statistics for Google Ads customers. We only receive information about the total number of users who clicked on our ad and were subsequently redirected to a website tagged with a conversion tracking tag.     

The purpose of the collection is to provide you with targeted advertising. The legal basis for this is your consent pursuant to Art. 6 (1) UAbs. 1 lit. a) GDPR and Section 25 (1) TTDPA, insofar as the consent within the meaning of the TTDPA relates to the setting of cookies or access to information on your terminal device. 

You have the right to revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future. The lawfulness of the data processing until the revocation remains unaffected.

In addition to us, Google is to be named as the recipient of the data. The data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer required for our recording purposes.

Consent is furthermore required by Google in accordance with their policy: https://www.google.com/about/company/user-consent-policy.html .

For more information about the collection and processing of your data by Google and your rights as a data subject in this regard, please refer to Google's privacy policy at: http://www.google.com/policies/privacy/?hl=de . The transfer of data by Google to the USA is based on the EU standard contractual clauses, details of which can be found here: https://privacy.google.com/businesses/controllerterms/mccs/ .

Google reCAPTCHA

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.

The reCAPTCHA service is intended to prevent abusive activities from being carried out by automated software on the website. This is ensured by means of a check whether the input actually originates from a natural person.

For the verification, data such as the address of the page on which the captcha is used, the IP address of the user, the input behavior of the user (e.g. answering the reCAPTCHA question, input speed into the form fields, the order of selection of the input fields, etc.) as well as browser, browser size and resolution, browser plugins, date, language setting, the display instructions (CSS) and scripts (JavaScript) of the website and the mouse or touch events within the website are collected and processed. If the user of the website is logged into Google, the Google account is also recognized and assigned. Cookies from other Google services such as Gmail, Search and Analytics are also read by Google in this case. Data that is collected and stored as part of the use of Google reCAPTCHA is sent to Google in encrypted form. Whether the captcha is displayed in the form of a checkbox or by text entry on the page is decided by the subsequent evaluation by Google. A readout or storage of personal data from the input fields of the respective form does not take place. 

The legal basis for the use of reCAPTCHA is Art. 6 (1) UAbs. 1 lit. a) GDPR and § 25 (1) TTDPA, insofar as the consent within the meaning of the TTDPA relates to the setting of cookies or access to information on your terminal device. You have the right to revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future. The lawfulness of the data processing until the revocation remains unaffected. The data will be deleted as soon as you leave our website.

There is a possibility that personal data will be transferred to Google LLC (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA) in the course of using this Google service. You can find more information about the collection and processing of your data by Google and your rights as a data subject in this regard in Google's privacy policy: https://www.google.com/intl/de/policies/privacy/ .

IPAPI.co

For the automatic localisation of the location, the country, the time zone and the access to the website via com-puter or mobile end device as well as the Internet provider and the routing information (IP address) we use the tool IPAPI (www.ipapi.co) of Kloudend, Inc. The purpose of the tool is to adapt the content of our website based on the findings of the localisation and to tailor it accordingly to the respective visitor. Furthermore, the tool pro-tects against attackers and bots. The legal basis of the data processing arises from our legitimate interest in accordance with Article 6 paragraph 1 subparagraph 1 lit. f) GDPR, to optimally present the website. The priva-cy statement of Kloudend, Inc. can be found at: https://ipapi.co/privacy/

Web conference tools

We want to make communication with prospects, customers and users easier and adapted to the current technical and practical reality. Therefore, we use conferencing tools for video and audio conferencing. You can find out which individual web conferencing tools we use in the following section.

As a rule, we first collect data that represents metadata and technical data of the users and the conferences. 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 are such as the IP addresses and device as well as hardware information of the participants, such as MAC addresses, device and operating systems or information about peripheral devices and connection quality. In the case of optional participation via a cell phone, further data may be stored in addition to the telephone number. In addition, the data collected includes all data that you provide for the use of the service (in some cases also optionally). Usual data here are the name, telephone number, mail 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 or similar, as well as other files such as presentation documents) can be processed, logged or displayed. When optionally using the recording function of web conferences, this data can be stored permanently, also on servers of the service providers. 

However, we would like to point out that we generally have no influence on what data is collected. Accordingly, failure to provide the aforementioned data may mean that it is not possible for you to participate in the web conference. No automated decision-making will be carried out. Details on the processing of data by the relevant services can be found in the privacy notices of the relevant services, which are referred to in the following section.

We use the web conferencing tools to communicate with you in a simple, effective and direct way. The legal basis for this is our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 (1) UAbs. 1 lit. f) GDPR. In the case of an existing contractual relationship, the use of such a service serves the purpose of providing a service, for which the legal basis of the processing is Art. 6 (1) UAbs. 1 lit. b) GDPR. The same legal basis arises for the registration as well as the participation in an online webinar offered by us. If your consent has been obtained, the legal basis for processing the data is Art. 6 (1) a) GDPR and Section 25 (1) TTDPA, provided that the consent within the meaning of the TTDPA relates to the setting of cookies or access to information on your terminal 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 the 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 terminal device until you delete them.

Jitsi Meet

We use the Jitsi Meet web conferencing tool to conduct online video conferences. Jitsi is an open source platform. The tool is hosted on our servers (on premise).
All data (technical and personal) is collected and processed exclusively for the purpose of handling and conducting the communication (external and internal video conferences) within the framework of a contractual relationship pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 UAbs. 1 lit. b) GDPR.  

If no contractual relationship exists, the legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 UAbs. 1 lit. f) GDPR. Our interest here is the effective communication and exchange of the parties involved. The provision of your personal data is necessary for the implementation of the video conferences. If you do not provide it, you will unfortunately not be able to participate. Automated decision-making will not be carried out. Personal data processed in connection with videoconferences will generally not be disclosed to third parties unless it is intended for disclosure.

Microsoft Teams

We also use the web conferencing tool Microsoft Teams. This is an application of Microsoft Corporation (One Microsoft Way, Redmond, WA 98052-6399, USA; hereinafter: "Microsoft").

The personal data you provide will be collected and processed solely for the purpose of conducting external and internal video conferences as part of a contractual relationship pursuant to Art. 6 (1) UAbs. 1 lit. b) GDPR.  
If no contractual relationship exists, the legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 UAbs. 1 lit. f) GDPR. Our interest here is the effective communication and exchange of the parties involved.
The provision of your personal data is necessary for the implementation of the video conferences. If you do not provide it, you will unfortunately not be able to participate. Automated decision-making will not be carried out.

Personal data processed in connection with videoconferences will generally not be disclosed to third parties unless it is intended for disclosure.
You can find Microsoft's privacy policy at: https://privacy.microsoft.com/de-de/privacystatement .

Data transfer to the USA is based on the EU standard contractual clauses, details of which can be found here: https://docs.microsoft.com/de-de/compliance/regulatory/offering-EU-Model-Clauses .

Microsoft 365

Microsoft 365 is a productivity, collaboration and exchange platform for individual users, groups, communities and networks that can be used across organizational units.  

Microsoft 365 applications, such as Teams, OneDrive, SharePoint, etc. (hereinafter M365) process personal data. 

This privacy notice provides information about the processing of personal data when using Microsoft 365 applications.  

Further information about the processing of personal data by Microsoft can be found at the following link: https://privacy.microsoft.com/dede/privacystatement .   

Data protection and the protection of your personality are important to us. Accordingly, we process personal data only in accordance with the applicable legal provisions for data protection and data security, in particular the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG) and the Telecommunications Telemedia Data Protection Act (TTDPA). In doing so, we are guided by the principle of data avoidance and economy. We require our employees to maintain confidentiality and secrecy. 

Categories of personal data when using Microsoft 365  

The following personal data is automatically processed when you use Microsoft 365.   

  • IP address used to access Microsoft 365 applications
  • User name (access data to the Microsoft 365 applications)
  • Data within the scope of multifactor authentication that you have stored in your Microsoft account, e.g. optionally the (private) cell phone number. 
  • Ddentification features: Information about yourself that identifies you as a user, sender, 

Recipient of data within Microsoft 365. 

  • Master data: Last name, first name, contact information such as phone number, email address, fax number, if provided by you
  • Further data such as a profile picture stored by you
  • Data required for authentication and license use
  • All user activities, such as time of access, date, type of access, information about the data/files/documents accessed and all activities in connection with the use, such as the creation, modification or deletion of data/files/documents related to use, such as creating, modifying, deleting a document, setting up a team (and channels in teams), making notes in the notebook, starting a chat, replying in the chat, etc. 

Data transfer and disclosure, purposes and legal bases 

In addition to the cases expressly mentioned in this data protection declaration, your personal data will only be passed on without your prior consent if there are legal reasons for doing so or if it is necessary, e.g. to protect vital interests.  

The data you provide during registration will be used within our group of companies for the purpose of fulfilling contracts, including joint customer service within the scope of what is necessary. A possible transfer of personal data is based on contractual obligations to you (pursuant to Art. 6 (1) UAbs. 1 lit. b) GDPR) and our legitimate interest (pursuant to Art. 6 (1) UAbs. 1 lit. f) GDPR) to transfer the data for administrative purposes within our group of companies, if your rights and interests in the protection of your personal data do not prevail.  

Automated decision-making (profiling) will not be carried out. 

A transfer may also take place within the framework of commissioned processing pursuant to Art. 28 GDPR, in particular when necessary service providers are involved. 

If it is necessary for the clarification of an illegal or abusive use of Microsoft 365 or for legal prosecution, personal data will be forwarded in particular to law enforcement agencies, other authorities, lawyers or other necessary third parties. This possible disclosure of personal data is justified by the fact that  

  • the processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which we are subject pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 subpara. 1 lit. c) GDPR in conjunction with legal requirements to which we are subject 
  • we have a legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 (1) UAbs. 1 lit. f) GDPR in disclosing the data to the aforementioned third parties in order to enforce our legal claims, and your rights and interests in the protection of your personal data do not prevail. 

When using Microsoft 365, Microsoft is used as a processor and is subject to our instructions when processing personal data, as we are the controller within the meaning of the GDPR. A possible transfer of personal data is based on our legitimate interest in making our IT processes effective (Art. 6 (1) UAbs. 1 lit. f) GDPR) as well as on the regulations on commissioned processing pursuant to Art. 28 GDPR, according to which we have carefully selected third-party companies and external service providers, regularly reviewed them and contractually obligated them pursuant to Art. 28 (3) GDPR to process all personal data exclusively in accordance with our instructions. 

Data transfers to third countries

Upon presentation of corresponding purpose limitation and legitimate interests, the data to be transferred, the selected transfer process, as well as the data recipient and the receiving country are subjected to a detailed "Transfer Impact Assessment". The results of this assessment are documented. In the absence of a positive finding, the data will be transferred only with the required content and scope. 

Changes of purpose  

Processing of your personal data for purposes other than those described will only be carried out if a legal regulation permits this or if you have consented to the changed purpose of the data processing. In the event of further processing for purposes other than those for which the data was originally collected, we will inform you of these other purposes prior to further processing and provide you with all other relevant information.  

Data deletion and storage period 

The personal data of the data subjects will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of the storage no longer applies, e.g. the storage of the data is no longer necessary for the performance of a contract or for an overriding legitimate interest. Storage may also take place if this is provided for by the European or national legislator in regulations, laws or other provisions to which the responsible party is subject. Accordingly, a deletion or blocking of the data takes place when a storage period prescribed by the aforementioned standards expires. 

Social Media

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 with 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 the interests determined from them. This makes it possible to display tailored advertising, both on and off the social network. Therefore, as a rule, cookies may be set on you through the use of social networks. However, we would like to point out that we generally have no influence on what data is collected.

Through the social media presences, we would like to communicate information to you in the simplest and quickest way or give you the opportunity to share such. Therefore, unless you have consented to data processing on the respective platform, the legal basis is our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 (1) UAbs. 1 lit. f) GDPR.  If you have given your consent on the respective platform, the legal basis for the processing is your consent pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 UAbs. 1 lit. a) GDPR and Section 25 para. 1 TTDPA, insofar as the consent within the meaning of the TTDPA relates to the setting of cookies or access to information on your terminal device. You have the right to revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future. The lawfulness of the data processing until the revocation remains unaffected.

If you revoke your consent, request us to delete the 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 remain on your terminal device until you delete them.

The data processed as a result of your visit to our appearances on social media websites are classified as data processing initiated by us, and are thus subject to joint responsibility with the operator of the social media website pursuant to Art. 26 GDPR. Joint responsibility is limited to those processing operations where the purpose and means of the processing are decided jointly. If you wish to assert your data subject rights, you may do so both against us and against 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 and that you therefore run the risk of not being able to fully enforce your rights.

XING (Link)

On our website, we use a reference (link) to our presence on the social career network XING. This is an application of New Work SE (Dammtorstraße 30, 20354 Hamburg; hereinafter: "XING"). 

We have used functions of the XING service on our website. When you visit our website, your web browser connects for a short time to the servers of XING, through which the XING functions are provided.

If you have consented to data processing at XING, your consent pursuant to Art. 6 (1) UAbs. 1 lit. a) GDPR and Section 25 (1) TTDPA, insofar as the consent within the meaning of the TTDPA relates to the setting of cookies or access to information on your terminal device, is the legal basis for the processing. You have the right to revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future. The lawfulness of the data processing until the revocation remains unaffected.

We would like to point out that we do not receive any knowledge of the content of the transmitted data as well as its use by XING. You can find further information at: https://privacy.xing.com/de/datenschutzerklaerung .

LinkedIn Insight

On this website, we use the analysis and conversion tracking technology as well as the retargeting function of LinkedIn Corporation (2029 Stierlin Ct, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA, hereinafter: "LinkedIn"). The legal basis for the processing of the data is Art. 6 (1) a) GDPR and Section 25 (1) TTDPA, insofar as the consent within the meaning of the TTDPA relates to the setting of cookies or access to information on your terminal 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.

With the help of this technology, visitors to this website can be served personalized advertisements on LinkedIn. Furthermore, LinkedIn provides us with aggregated and anonymous reports of ad activities and information about how you interact with our website. For this purpose, LinkedIn uses a JavaScript code (Insight tag), which in turn places a cookie in your web browser or uses a pixel. Via the LinkedIn Insight tag, data about the use of our website is collected, including URL, referrer URL, IP address, device and browser properties, timestamps and page views. Data collected via the LinkedIn Insight tag is encrypted and anonymized within 7 days. The anonymized data is deleted within 180 days. LinkedIn does not share any personal data with the website owner, but only provides aggregate reports on website audience and ad performance.

LinkedIn also provides retargeting for website visitors so that the website owner can use this data to display targeted ads outside of their website without identifying the member. We also use data that does not identify you to improve the relevance of ads and reach members across devices.

See LinkedIn's privacy policy at https://www.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy for more information about data collection and use, and your privacy options and rights. If you are logged in to LinkedIn, you can deactivate the data collection at any time at the following link: https://www.linkedin.com/psettings/enhanced-advertising .

Alternatively, you can prevent the evaluation of your user behavior in connection with LinkedIn by making the appropriate cookie setting in your browser.

If you have consented to data processing at YouTube, your consent pursuant to Art. 6 (1) UAbs. 1 lit. a) GDPR and Section 25 (1) TTDPA, insofar as the consent within the meaning of the TTDPA relates to the setting of cookies or access to information on your terminal device, is the legal basis for the processing. You have the right to revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future. The lawfulness of the data processing until the revocation remains unaffected.
