Data Retention

Unless a more specific storage period has been mentioned within this privacy policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for data processing no longer applies. If you assert a justified request for deletion or revoke consent to data processing, your data will be deleted, unless we have other legally permissible reasons for storing your personal data (e.g., tax or commercial law retention periods); in the latter case, the deletion will occur after these reasons cease to apply.

Notice Regarding Data Transfer to Data Protection Insecure Third Countries and the Transfer to US Companies Not Certified by DPF

We use tools from companies based in data protection insecure third countries and US tools whose providers are not certified according to the EU-US Data Privacy Framework (DPF). When these tools are active, your personal data can be transferred and processed in these countries. We note that data protection in insecure third countries cannot guarantee a level of data protection comparable to that of the EU.

Please note that the USA is generally not considered a safe third country with a level of data protection comparable to that of the EU. Data transfer to the USA is permissible if the recipient has a certification under the „EU-US Data Privacy Framework“ (DPF) or has appropriate additional guarantees. Information on transfers to third countries, including the data recipients, can be found in this privacy policy.

Recipients of Personal Data

As part of our business activities, we work with various external entities. In some cases, it is also necessary to transfer personal data to these external entities. We only pass on personal data to external entities if this is necessary for the fulfillment of a contract, if we are legally obliged to do so (e.g., transfer of data to tax authorities), if we have a legitimate interest according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR in the transfer, or if another legal basis allows the data transfer. When using processors, we only pass on personal data of our customers based on a valid contract for data processing. In the case of joint processing, a contract for joint processing is concluded.

REVOCATION OF YOUR CONSENT TO DATA PROCESSING

Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You can revoke consent you have already given at any time. To do so, a formless email notification to us is sufficient. The legality of the data processing carried out until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

Right to Object to Data Collection in Special Cases and to Direct Advertising (Art. 21 GDPR)

If data processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. e or f GDPR, you have the right at any time to object to the processing of your personal data for reasons arising from your particular situation; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions. The respective legal basis on which processing is based can be found in this privacy policy. If you object, we will no longer process your affected personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that override your interests, rights, and freedoms, or if the processing is for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims (objection according to Art. 21 para. 1 GDPR).

If your personal data is processed to carry out direct advertising, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you for the purpose of such advertising; this also applies to profiling to the extent that it is related to such direct advertising. If you object, your personal data will subsequently no longer be used for the purpose of direct advertising (objection according to Art. 21 para. 2 GDPR).

COMPLAINT TO THE COMPETENT SUPERVISORY AUTHORITY

In the case of violations of data protection law, the person affected has the right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority. The competent supervisory authority for data protection issues is the state data protection commissioner of the federal state in which our company is based. A list of data protection officers and their contact details can be taken from the following link: https://www.bfdi.bund.de/DE/Infothek/Anschriften_Links/anschriften_links-node.html.

RIGHT TO DATA PORTABILITY

You have the right to have data that we process based on your consent or in fulfillment of a contract automatically delivered to yourself or to a third party in a standard, machine-readable format. If you require the direct transfer of data to another controller, this will only be done to the extent technically feasible.

Information, Correction, and Deletion

Within the scope of the applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to free information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipient, and the purpose of the data processing and, if necessary, a right to correct or delete this data. For this purpose, as well as for further questions on the subject of personal data, you can contact us at any time.

Right to Restrict Processing

You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. You can contact us at any time for this purpose. The right to restrict processing exists in the following cases:

If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we usually need time to verify this. For the duration of the review, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.

If the processing of your personal data was/is unlawful, you can request the restriction of data processing instead of deletion.

If we no longer need your personal data, but you need it to exercise, defend, or assert legal claims, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of deletion.

If you have lodged an objection pursuant to Art. 21 para. 1 GDPR, a balance must be struck between your interests and ours. As long as it has not been determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.

If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, these data – apart from their storage – may only be processed with your consent or for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or a member state.

SSL OR TLS ENCRYPTION

For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or inquiries you send to us as the site operator, this site uses an SSL or TLS encryption. 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.

OBJECTION TO PROMOTIONAL EMAILS

We hereby expressly prohibit the use of contact data published in the context of website legal notice requirements with regard to sending promotional and informational materials not expressly requested. The website operator reserves the right to take specific legal action if unsolicited advertising material, such as email spam, is received.

4. DATA COLLECTION ON OUR WEBSITE

Cookies

Our websites use so-called „cookies.“ Cookies are small data packets that do not cause any damage to your device. They are stored either temporarily for the duration of a session (session cookies) or permanently (permanent cookies) on your device. Session cookies are automatically deleted at the end of your visit. Permanent cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them yourself or an automatic deletion is carried out by your web browser.

Cookies can be set by us (first-party cookies) or by third-party companies (so-called third-party cookies). Third-party cookies allow certain services from third-party companies to be integrated within websites (e.g., cookies for processing payment services).

Cookies have various functions. Many cookies are technically necessary as certain website functions would not work without them (e.g., the shopping cart function or displaying videos). Other cookies can be used to analyze user behavior or for advertising purposes.

Cookies that are necessary for the execution of the electronic communication process, to provide certain functions you desire (e.g., for the shopping cart function) or to optimize the website (e.g., cookies for measuring the web audience) (necessary cookies) are stored on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR, unless another legal basis is specified. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing necessary cookies for the technically error-free and optimized provision of its services. If consent has been requested for the storage of cookies and similar recognition technologies, processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of this consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR and § 25 para. 1 TTDSG); consent can be revoked at any time.

You can configure your browser to inform you about the setting of cookies and only allow cookies in individual cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies for specific cases or in general, and activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. Disabling cookies may limit the functionality of this website.

Which cookies and services are used on this website can be found in this privacy policy.

Server Log Files

The provider of the pages automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. These are:

– Browser type and browser version
– Operating system used
– Referrer URL
– Hostname of the accessing computer
– Time of the server request
– IP address

This data will not be combined with data from other sources.

The basis for data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR, which allows the processing of data for the fulfillment of a contract or pre-contractual measures.

Contact Form

If you send us inquiries via the contact form, your details from the inquiry form, including the contact details you provided there, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the inquiry and in case of follow-up questions. We will not share this information without your consent.

The processing of the data entered into the contact form is thus based exclusively on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR). You can revoke this consent at any time. An informal email making this request is sufficient. The legality of the data processing operations carried out until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

The data you enter in the contact form will remain with us until you ask us to delete it, revoke your consent to storage, or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g., after your request has been processed). Mandatory statutory provisions – in particular retention periods – remain unaffected.

Registration on This Website

You can register on our website to use additional features on the site. We use the data entered for the purpose of using the respective offer or service for which you have registered. The mandatory information requested during registration must be provided in full. Otherwise, we will reject the registration.

For important changes, such as the scope of the offer or technically necessary changes, we will use the email address provided during registration to inform you in this way.

The processing of the data entered during registration is based on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR). You can revoke your consent at any time. An informal email making this request is sufficient. The legality of the already completed data processing operations remains unaffected by the revocation.

The data collected during registration will be stored by us as long as you are registered on our website and will then be deleted. Legal retention periods remain unaffected.

Inquiry by Email, Telephone, or Fax

If you contact us by email, 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 share this information without your consent.

The processing of these data is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR if your request is related to the execution of a contract or is necessary for the performance of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective processing of the inquiries addressed to us (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR) if it has been requested; consent can be revoked at any time.

The data sent by you to us via contact requests remain with us until you request us to delete, revoke your consent to storage, or the purpose for data storage lapses (e.g., after your request has been processed). Mandatory statutory provisions – in particular statutory retention periods – remain unaffected.

6. ANALYSIS TOOLS AND ADVERTISING

WP Statistics

This website uses the WP Statistics analysis tool to statistically evaluate visitor accesses. The provider is Veronalabs, Tatari 64, 10134, Tallinn, Estonia (https://veronalabs.com).

With WP Statistics, we can analyze the use of our website. WP Statistics collects, among other things, log files (IP address, referrer, browsers used, origin of the user, search engine used) and actions that website visitors have taken on the page (e.g., clicks and views).

The data collected with WP Statistics is stored exclusively on our own server.

The use of this analysis tool is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. We have a legitimate interest in the anonymized analysis of user behavior to optimize both our website and our advertising. If a corresponding consent has been requested, the processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR and § 25 para. 1 TTDSG, insofar as the consent includes the storage of cookies or access to information in the user’s end device (e.g., device fingerprinting) in the sense of the TTDSG. The consent can be revoked at any time.

IP Anonymization

We use WP Statistics with anonymized IP. Your IP address is shortened so that it can no longer be directly linked to you.

Google Analytics

This website uses functions of the web analytics service Google Analytics. The provider is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

Google Analytics uses so-called „cookies“. These are text files that are stored on your computer and that allow an analysis of the use of the website by you. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there.

The storage of Google Analytics cookies is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in analyzing user behavior to optimize both its website and its advertising.

IP Anonymization

We have activated the IP anonymization function on this website. As a result, your IP address will be shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area before being transmitted to the USA. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activities and to provide the website operator with other services related to website and internet use. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.

Browser Plugin

You can prevent the storage of cookies by setting your browser software accordingly; however, we would like to point out that in this case, you may not be able to use all the functions of this website to their full extent. You can also prevent Google from collecting the data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) and from processing this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plugin available under the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en.

Objection to Data Collection

You can prevent Google Analytics from collecting your data by clicking on the following link. An opt-out cookie will be set to prevent your data from being collected on future visits to this site: Disable Google Analytics.

More information on how Google Analytics handles user data can be found in Google’s privacy policy: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245?hl=en.

Data Processing Agreement

We have concluded a data processing agreement with Google and fully implement the strict requirements of the German data protection authorities when using Google Analytics.

Google Signals

We use Google Signals. When you visit our website, Google Analytics collects, among other things, your location, search history, and YouTube history as well as demographic data (visitor data). These data can be used by Google Signal for personalized advertising. If you have a Google account, the visitor data from Google Signal will be linked to your Google account and used for personalized

advertising messages. The data is also used to create anonymized statistics on user behavior for our users.

Google Analytics Remarketing

Our websites use the features of Google Analytics Remarketing combined with the cross-device capabilities of Google AdWords and Google DoubleClick. The provider is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

This feature allows the advertising target groups created with Google Analytics Remarketing to be linked with the cross-device functions of Google AdWords and Google DoubleClick. This way, interest-based, personalized advertising messages that have been adapted to you based on your previous usage and browsing behavior on one device (e.g., mobile phone) can also be displayed on another of your devices (e.g., tablet or PC).

If you have given your consent, Google will link your web and app browsing history with your Google account for this purpose. This way, the same personalized advertising messages can be displayed on any device you sign in to with your Google account.

To support this feature, Google Analytics collects google-authenticated IDs of users that are temporarily linked to our Google Analytics data to define and create target audiences for cross-device ad advertising.

You can permanently opt-out of cross-device remarketing/targeting by turning off personalized advertising in your Google account; follow this link: https://www.google.com/settings/ads/onweb/.

The aggregation of the data collected in your Google account is based solely on your consent, which you may give or withdraw from Google (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR). For data collection operations that are not merged into your Google account (e.g., because you do not have a Google account or have objected to the merging), the collection of the data is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The legitimate interest arises because the website operator has an interest in the anonymized analysis of website visitors for advertising purposes.

Further information and the data protection provisions can be found in Google’s privacy policy at: https://www.google.com/policies/technologies/ads/.

Google Ads and Google Conversion Tracking

This website uses Google Ads. Ads is an online advertising program from Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland („Google“).

As part of Google AdWords, we use so-called conversion tracking. When you click on an ad placed by Google, a conversion tracking cookie is set. Cookies are small text files that the internet browser places on the user’s computer. These cookies expire after 30 days and are not used to personally identify users. If the user visits certain pages of this website and the cookie has not yet expired, Google and we can recognize that the user clicked on the ad and was redirected to this page.

Each Google AdWords advertiser receives a different cookie. The cookies cannot be tracked through the websites of AdWords advertisers. The information obtained using the conversion cookie is used to create conversion statistics for AdWords advertisers who have opted for conversion tracking. The customers learn the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a page with a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not receive any information that can personally identify users. If you do not want to participate in tracking, you can object to this use by easily deactivating the Google conversion tracking cookie via your internet browser under user settings. They will then not be included in the conversion tracking statistics.

The storage of „conversion cookies“ is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in analyzing user behavior to optimize both its website and its advertising.

More information on Google AdWords and Google Conversion Tracking can be found in Google’s privacy policy: https://www.google.de/policies/privacy/.

Disabling cookies may limit the functionality of this website.

Facebook Pixel

Our website uses the visitor action pixel from Facebook, Facebook Inc., 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA („Facebook“) for conversion measurement.

This allows the behavior of site visitors to be tracked after they have been redirected to the provider’s website by clicking on a Facebook ad. This allows the effectiveness of Facebook ads to be evaluated for statistical and market research purposes and future advertising measures to be optimized.

The collected data is anonymous to us as the operator of this website, we cannot draw any conclusions about the identity of the users. However, the data is stored and processed by Facebook, so a connection to the respective user profile is possible and Facebook can use the data for its own advertising purposes, in accordance with the Facebook data usage policy. This allows Facebook to enable the placement of ads on pages of Facebook as well as outside of Facebook. This use of the data cannot be influenced by us as the site operator.

You can find further information on protecting your privacy in Facebook’s privacy policy:
https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/.

You can also deactivate the remarketing function „Custom Audiences“ in the Ads Settings section at https://www.facebook.com/ads/preferences/?entry_product=ad_settings_screen. To do this, you must be logged into Facebook.

If you do not have a Facebook account, you can opt out of usage-based advertising from Facebook on the European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance website: http://www.youronlinechoices.com/de/praferenzmanagement/.

7. NEWSLETTER

Newsletter Data

If you would like to receive the newsletter offered on the website, we need an email address from you as well as information that allows us to verify that you are the owner of the provided email address and that you agree to receive the newsletter. Further data is not collected or only on a voluntary basis. We use this data exclusively for sending the requested information and do not pass it on to third parties.

The processing of the data entered into the newsletter subscription form is based exclusively on your consent (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR). You can revoke the consent you have given for the storage of the data, the email address, and their use for sending the newsletter at any time, for example, via the „unsubscribe“ link in the newsletter. The legality of the data processing operations already carried out remains unaffected by the revocation.

The data you have provided for the purpose of receiving the newsletter will be stored by us or the newsletter service provider until you unsubscribe from the newsletter and will be deleted from the newsletter distribution list after you unsubscribe from the newsletter or after the purpose has been fulfilled. We reserve the right to delete or block email addresses from our newsletter distribution list at our own discretion within the scope of our legitimate interest according to Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR.

Data stored by us for other purposes remains unaffected by this.

After you unsubscribe from the newsletter distribution list, your email address may be stored by us or the newsletter service provider in a blacklist, if this is necessary to prevent future mailings. The data from the blacklist is used only for this purpose and is not merged with other data. This serves both your interest and our interest in complying with the legal requirements for sending newsletters (legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR). The storage in the blacklist is not limited in time. You can object to the storage if your interests outweigh our legitimate interest.

9. ECOMMERCE AND PAYMENT PROVIDERS

Processing of Customer and Contract Data

We collect, process, and use personal customer and contract data for the establishment, content design, and modification of our contractual relationships. Personal data about the use of this website (usage data) are collected, processed, and used only to the extent necessary to enable the user to utilize the service or to bill the user. The legal basis for this is Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b GDPR.

The collected customer data will be deleted after completion of the order or termination of the business relationship and after the expiry of any applicable statutory retention periods. Statutory retention periods remain unaffected.

10. AUDIO AND VIDEO CONFERENCES

Data Processing

For communication with our customers, we use online conference tools, among other things. The tools we use in detail are listed below. If you communicate with us by video or audio conference via the Internet, your personal data will be collected and processed by us and the provider of the respective conference tool.

The conference tools collect all the data that you provide/use to use the tools (email address and/or your phone number). Furthermore, the conference tools process the duration of the conference, the start and end (time) of participation in the conference, the number of participants, and other „context information“ related to the communication process (metadata).

Furthermore, the provider of the tool processes all the technical data required for the processing of online communication. This includes, in particular, IP addresses, MAC addresses, device IDs, device type, operating system type and version, client version, camera type, microphone, or speaker as well as the type of connection.

If content is exchanged, uploaded, or otherwise made available within the tool, it is also stored on the servers of the tool providers. Such content includes, but is not limited to, cloud recordings, chat/ instant messages, voicemails uploaded photos and videos, files, whiteboards, and other information shared while using the service.

Please note that we do not have complete control over the data processing operations of the tools used. Our possibilities depend largely on the corporate policy of the respective provider. Further information on data processing by the conference tools can be found in the privacy statements of the tools used, which we have listed below this text.

Purpose and Legal Bases

The conference tools are used to communicate with prospective or existing contractual partners or to offer certain services to our customers (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b GDPR). Furthermore, the use of the tools serves to generally simplify and accelerate communication with us or our company (legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR). If consent has been requested, the use of the respective tools is based on this consent; consent can be revoked at any time with effect for the future.

Storage Duration

The data collected directly by us via the video and conference tools will be deleted from our systems as soon as you request us to delete it, revoke your consent to storage, or the reason for storing the data no longer applies. Stored cookies remain on your device until you delete them. Mandatory statutory retention periods remain unaffected.

We have no influence on the storage duration of your data, which is stored by the operators of the conference tools for their own purposes. For details, please directly contact the operators of the conference tools.

Conference Tools Used

We use the following conference tools:

Zoom:
We use Zoom. The provider is Zoom Video Communications, Inc. located at 55 Almaden Blvd, Suite 600, San Jose, CA 95113. Details on data processing can be found in Zoom’s privacy policy: https://explore.zoom.us/de/privacy/.

This is a contract required by data protection law, which ensures that the provider processes the personal data of our website visitors only according to our instructions and in compliance with the GDPR.

11. OWN SERVICES

Handling Applicant Data

We offer you the opportunity to apply to us (e.g., by email, postal mail, or via an online application form). Below, we inform you about the scope, purpose, and use of your personal data collected during the application process. We assure you that the collection, processing, and use of your data will occur in compliance with the applicable data protection law and all other legal requirements and that your data will be treated with strict confidentiality.

Scope and Purpose of Data Collection

If you submit an application to us, we process your associated personal data (e.g., contact and communication data, application documents, notes taken during interviews, etc.) as far as this is necessary to decide on the establishment of an employment relationship. The legal basis for this is § 26 BDSG under German law (initiation of an employment relationship), Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b GDPR (general contract initiation), and – if you have given your consent – Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR. The consent can be revoked at any time. Your personal data will only be passed on within our company to persons involved in processing your application.

If the application is successful, the data you submit will be stored in our data processing systems on the basis of § 26 BDSG and Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b GDPR for the purpose of executing the employment relationship.

Retention Period of the Data

If we cannot offer you a job, you reject a job offer, or withdraw your application, we reserve the right to retain the data you have submitted based on our legitimate interests (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR) for up to 6 months from the end of the application process (rejection or withdrawal of the application). Afterwards, the data will be deleted, and the physical application documents will be destroyed. The storage serves in particular as evidence in the case of a legal dispute. If it is evident that the data will be required after the expiry of the 6-month period (e.g., due to an impending or pending legal dispute), deletion will only take place when the purpose for further storage no longer applies.

Longer storage may also occur if you have given your consent (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR) or if statutory storage obligations prevent deletion.

Inclusion in the Applicant Pool

If we do not make you a job offer, there may be the possibility to include you in our applicant pool. In case of inclusion, all documents and information from the application will be transferred to the applicant pool in order to contact you in case of suitable vacancies.

Inclusion in the applicant pool is based solely on your express consent (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR). The submission of consent is voluntary and is not related to the current application process. The affected person can revoke their consent at any time. In this case, the data from the applicant pool will be irrevocably deleted, provided there are no legal reasons for storage.

The data from the applicant pool will be irrevocably deleted no later than two years after consent has been granted.

Privacy Policy for Our Social Media Presence

Data Processing Through Social Networks

We maintain publicly accessible profiles on social networks. The specific social networks we use can be found below.

Social networks such as Facebook, Twitter, etc. can generally analyze your user behavior extensively if you visit their site or a site with integrated social media content (e.g., like buttons or advertising banners). Visiting our social media presences triggers numerous data protection-relevant processing operations. Specifically:

If you are logged into your social media account and visit our social media presence, the operator of the social media portal can assign this visit to your user account. However, your personal data may also be collected if you are not logged in or do not have an account with the respective social media portal. This data collection may occur, for example, via cookies stored on your device or by collecting your IP address.

With the data collected in this way, the operators of the social media portals can create user profiles in which your preferences and interests are stored. This way, interest-based advertising can be shown to you inside and outside the respective social media presence. If you have an account with the social network, interest-based advertising can be displayed on any device on which you are or were logged in.

Please also note that we cannot track all processing on the social media portals. Depending on the provider, additional processing operations may therefore be carried out by the operators of the social media portals. For details, please refer to the terms of use and privacy policies of the respective social media portals.

Legal Basis

Our social media appearances are designed to ensure as comprehensive a presence on the internet as possible. This is a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The analysis processes initiated by the social networks may be based on divergent legal bases, which must be stated by the operators of the social networks (e.g., consent within the meaning of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR).

Controller and Assertion of Rights

If you visit one of our social media sites (e.g., Facebook), we, together with the operator of the social media platform, are responsible for the data processing operations triggered during this visit. You can assert your rights (information, correction, deletion, limitation of processing, data portability, and complaint) in principle both against us and against the operator of the respective social media portal (e.g., against Facebook).

Please note that despite the shared responsibility with the social media portal operators, we do not have full influence over the data processing operations of the social media portals. Our options are largely determined by the corporate policy of the respective provider.

Storage Duration

The data collected directly by us via the social media presence will be deleted from our systems as soon as you request us to delete it, you revoke your consent to the storage, or the purpose for the data storage lapses. Stored cookies remain on your device until you delete them. Mandatory statutory provisions – in particular, retention periods – remain unaffected.

We have no control over the storage duration of your data, which is stored by the operators of social networks for their own purposes. For details, please contact the operators of the social networks directly (e.g., in their privacy policy, see below).

Your Rights

At any time, you have the right to receive information about the origin, recipient, and purpose of your stored personal data free of charge. You also have the right to object, to data portability, and a right of appeal to the competent supervisory authority. Furthermore, you can demand the correction, deletion, and, in certain circumstances, the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
