    Definition

    Our data protection declaration uses terms that were used by the European legislator for the adoption of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Since our data protection declaration is intended to be easy to read and understand, we will explain the terms used in advance.

    In this data protection declaration we use the following terms, among others:

    a) Personal data – Personal data is all information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (hereinafter referred to as the “data subject”). A natural person is considered identifiable if he or she can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more special characteristics that express the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person.

    b) Data subject – A data subject is any identified or identifiable natural person whose personal data is processed by the controller.

    c) Processing – Processing is any operation or set of operations which is performed on personal data or on sets of personal data, whether or not by automated means, such as collection, recording, organisation, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or linking, restriction, erasure or destruction.

    d) Restriction of processing – Restriction of processing means the marking of stored personal data with the aim of limiting its future processing.

    e) Profiling – Profiling means any form of automated processing of personal data consisting of the use of personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to analyse or predict aspects concerning that natural person’s performance at work, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behaviour, location or movements.

    f) Pseudonymisation – Pseudonymisation is the processing of personal data in such a manner that the personal data can no longer be attributed to a specific data subject without the use of additional information, provided that such additional information is kept separately and is subject to technical and organisational measures to ensure that the personal data are not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.

    g) Controller or controller responsible for processing – Controller or controller responsible for processing is the natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which, alone or jointly with others, decides on the purposes and means of processing personal data. Where the purposes and means of such processing are determined by Union or Member State law, the controller or the specific criteria for its nomination may be provided for by Union or Member State law.

    h) Processor – Processor is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which processes personal data on behalf of the controller.

    i) Recipient – Recipient is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body to which personal data are disclosed, whether a third party or not. However, public authorities which may receive personal data in the framework of a particular investigation in accordance with Union or Member State law shall not be considered recipients.

    j) Third party – Third party means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or body other than the data subject, the controller, the processor and the persons authorised to process the personal data under the direct responsibility of the controller or processor.

    k) Consent – Consent is any freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous indication of the data subject’s wishes by which he or she, by a statement or by a clear affirmative action, signifies agreement to the processing of personal data concerning him or her.

     

    Data protection declaration according to GDPR

    1. What personal information do we collect?

    When you visit our website, we collect a limited amount of data and use it to make our websites easier to use and to better manage the services we offer. This includes information about how you use our websites and how often you access them.

    If you actively contact us, we record your telephone number for calls (unless you suppress it), your sender email address for emails, and (if you provide it by phone or email) other personal data such as address details, your department or responsibility in the company and/or the position you have specified (job title).

    The processing of the contact details you send to us is therefore carried out exclusively on the basis of your consent (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR). You can revoke this consent at any time. All you have to do is send us an informal message by email. The legality of the data processing operations carried out up to the time of revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

    The contact details you provide will remain with us until you request deletion, revoke your consent to storage or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies (e.g. after your request has been processed).

    Legal provisions – e.g. statutory retention periods – remain unaffected.

     

    2. Who collects the data?

    We generally only collect personal information directly from you. We do not receive personal information from other sources.

    When you visit our website, we automatically collect your information using cookies in accordance with the cookie settings in your browser.

    We also collect information from you when you contact us using the contact information provided on the website.

     

    3. Why do we collect your personal data and what do we use it for?

    We use your data to make it easier for you to use our websites, for example by identifying which sub-sites are accessed most frequently. You can find more information about cookies, such as how we use them and what choices you have, in the section “Our privacy policy in detail”.

    If you contact us by phone or email or send us an inquiry, we will save the contact details you provide in order to be able to clarify any follow-up questions with you or to process your inquiry. We will not pass on this data without your consent.

     

    4. Do we share your personal information?

    As a general rule, we do not pass on any personal data collected from you to third parties without your express consent for the specific purpose.

     

    5. How long do we store your personal data?

    One possible criterion for the duration of storage of personal data is the respective statutory retention period; after expiry of such a period, the data is deleted.

    In addition, we only store the corresponding data if it is necessary to answer your request/inquiry and/or to fulfill the contract.

    If the storage purpose no longer applies or a storage period prescribed by the European legislator or the relevant legislator expires, the personal data is routinely deleted in accordance with statutory provisions, unless otherwise agreed with you by mutual consent.

     

    6. What rights do you have with regard to your personal data stored by us?

    You have various rights with regard to the data we store about you. If you would like to contact us in this regard, please contact us.

    Please note that we may create and store written records of our communication with you in order to better resolve any problems you raise.

    If we process personal data about you, you are entitled to certain legal rights (so-called “data subject rights”). You can find more detailed explanations of the individual rights in the section “Our data protection declaration in detail”.

    Right to information – You have the right to receive information from us at any time about what information we have stored about you. You can also ask us to change, update or delete this information. We may ask you to confirm your identity in order to check the legality of your request.

    Right to object – If we use your data because we believe it is in our legitimate interests and you do not agree, you have the right to object.

    Right to withdraw consent – If we have obtained your consent to process your personal data for certain activities (e.g. to process an inquiry), you can withdraw your consent at any time.

    Right to rectification – You have the right to request the immediate rectification or addition of personal data concerning you.

    Right to erasure – You have the right to request that we delete your personal data. We will usually comply with your request within 30 days and will only object to you under certain, narrowly defined circumstances, for example if the data is absolutely necessary in order to continue to provide our services to you or to ensure the protection of our intellectual property.

    Right to restriction of processing – Instead of deletion, you can also request that we restrict the processing of your data and block data processing. We will usually comply with this request within 30 days, provided that we no longer need the data, for example to continue to provide our services to you or to ensure the protection of our intellectual property.

    Right to data portability – If you wish, you are entitled to have us transmit your data to another responsible party. We will support you in this by transmitting your data directly for you or by providing you with a copy in a common machine-readable format.

     

    7. What data do we automatically collect on our website?

    7.1 Cookies

    Some of our websites use so-called cookies. Cookies do not harm your computer and do not contain viruses. Cookies are simply used to make our website more user-friendly, effective and secure. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer and saved by your browser.

    Most of the cookies we use are so-called “session cookies” that are automatically deleted after you have finished visiting our websites. Other cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them. These cookies enable us to recognize the browser you are using the next time you visit our websites.

    You can configure your browser so that you are informed in advance about the setting of cookies; you can only allow cookies to be set for individual cases or exclude cookies for certain cases or in general. You can also activate the automatic deletion of cookies when you close your browser.

    You can therefore prevent our website from setting cookies at any time by making the appropriate settings in the Internet browser you are using and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies.

    If you deactivate or do not allow cookies, the functionality of our website may be restricted and access to certain content may no longer be possible.

    Cookies that are required to carry out electronic communication or to provide certain functions you require are stored on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 GDPR. As website operators, we have a legitimate interest in storing cookies to ensure that our services are technically error-free and optimized. If other cookies (e.g. to analyze your surfing behavior) are stored, these are treated separately in this privacy policy.

    7.2 Server-Log-Files

    The provider of these websites automatically generates and stores certain information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. A series of general data and information is recorded each time you access the website. This may include

    • the browser type and version used (version number),
    • the operating system used,
    • the website from which an accessing system reaches our website (the so-called referrer),
    • the subpages accessed via an accessing system on our website,
    • the date and time of your access to the website,
    • an Internet protocol address (IP address) and
    • other similar data and information that serve to avert danger in the event of attacks on our IT systems.

    When using this general data and information, we do not draw any conclusions about the person concerned.

    Rather, this information is required in order to

    • deliver the content of our websites correctly,
    • optimize the content of our websites,
    • ensure the long-term functionality of our information technology systems and the technology of our websites and
    • to provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for criminal prosecution in the event of a cyber attack.

    The data and information collected anonymously in this way are therefore evaluated by us both statistically and with the aim of increasing data protection and data security in our company in order to be able to ensure optimal protection for the personal data we process. The anonymous data of the log files are stored separately from all personal data provided by a data subject.

    You can always use our website without having to provide personal data.

    The data processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 GDPR, which permits the processing of data to fulfill a contract or pre-contractual measures.

     

    7.3 Google Analytics

    Application

    Our websites use functions of the advertising analysis service Google Analytics. The provider is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

    Google Analytics also uses cookies. 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. Google Analytics cookies are stored on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR.

    The website operator has a legitimate interest in analyzing user behavior in order to optimize both its website and its advertising.

    Browser Plugin, objection to data collection

    You can also prevent the storage of Google Analytics cookies by setting the Internet browser you use 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 relating to your use of the website (including your IP address) and from processing this data by downloading and installing a browser plug-in that you can access using the following link:

    7.4 Google Fonts

    Our websites use Google Fonts. The provider is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. Google Fonts are used without authentication and no cookies are sent to the Google Fonts API.

    8. How do we protect the data we store about you?

    We take all reasonable and appropriate measures to protect the personal information we store from misuse, loss or unauthorized access. This includes a range of technical and organizational measures.

    Our sites use SSL or TLS encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content. You can recognize an encrypted connection in the address line of your browser. The website display changes from “http://” to “https://” and a lock symbol is displayed in the input line of your browser.

    If SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you send to us cannot be read by third parties.

    If you suspect that your personal data stored by us has been misused or lost or that unauthorized access has occurred, please let us know as soon as possible.

     

    9. Objection to advertising emails

    We hereby object to the use of our contact data published in accordance with the legal imprint obligation and on the contact page to send unsolicited advertising and/or information materials.
