Hosting and processing of personal data on this website

We host the content of our website with the following service provider: Host Europe GmbH, Hansestraße 111, 51149, Köln (“Provider”). The Provider hosts our website on our behalf in a data center in the European Union and collects the logfiles mentioned below including the IP address. We have concluded a data processing agreement (DPA) for the use of the abovementioned service. 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.

The sole purpose of our website is to provide information about us. When you visit our website, only the data (logfiles) automatically transmitted by your browser is collected.

This data is necessary so that you can view our website and navigate on it. The legal basis for the collection of the data is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. We have a legitimate interest in processing the data in order to ensure the most reliable presentation and proper operation of our website, to detect and eliminate website errors, and to ensure the technically error-free presentation of the website. In detail, the following data is collected when you visit our website:

  • The IP address
  • The type and version of browser used as well as its language
  • The used operating system
  • Referrer URL
  • Access status/http status code
  • The time of the server inquiry
  • Content of the request and homepage it comes from
  • Amount of data transferred

This data is deleted when it is no longer required.

SSL encryption

For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as purchase orders or inquiries you submit to us as the website operator, this website uses a SSL encryption program.

You can recognize an encrypted connection by checking whether the address line of the browser switches from “http://” to “https://” and also by the appearance of the lock icon in the browser line. If the SSL encryption is activated, data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

Contact

If you contact us using the contact data provided on the website, your request including all resulting personal data (name, contact details, request) will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of processing your request. We do not pass on this data without your consent.

The processing of this data is based on Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR, if your request is related to the performance of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of precontractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective processing of requests addressed to us (Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR) if this has been requested; the consent can be revoked at any time with effect for the future. The legality of the data processing carried out until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

The data you transmit to us when contacting us will remain with us until you request us to delete it, revoke your consent to store it, or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies (e.g. after we have completed processing your request). Mandatory legal provisions – in particular retention periods – remain unaffected.

LinkedIn

We do use elements of the social media network LinkedIn. The provider is LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company, Wilton Plaza, Wilton Place, Dublin 2, Ireland. As a rule, you will be able to recognize these social media elements because of the respective social media logos that appear.

To warrant the protection of data on this website, we use this element only with your prior consent or if you activated the social media element. This prevents the social media elements that have been integrated into this website from transferring personal data to the respective provider as soon as you enter our website.

A direct connection to the provider’s server shall not be established until you have activated the respective social media element by clicking on the affiliated button (which indicates your consent). As soon as you activate the social media element, the respective provider receives the information that you have visited this website with your IP address. If you are simultaneously logged into your respective social media account (e.g. LinkedIn), the respective provider will be able to allocate your visit to this website to your user account. We have to point out that we as the provider of the websites do not have any knowledge of the content of the transferred data and its use by LinkedIn.

The activation of the plug-in of LinkedIn constitutes a declaration of consent as defined in Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR and und § 25 (1) TTDSG. You have the option to revoke this consent at any time, which shall affect all future transactions. This shall be without prejudice to the lawfulness of any data processing transactions that have taken place prior to your revocation.

If you click on LinkedIn’s “Recommend” button and are logged into your LinkedIn account at the time, LinkedIn will be in a position to allocate your visit to this website to your user account.

Data transmission to the US is based on the Standard Contractual Clauses (SCC) of the European Commission. Details can be found here:

https://www.linkedin.com/help/linkedin/answer/62538/datenubertragung-aus-der-eu-dem-ewr-und-der-schweiz?lang=en.

We have to point out that we as the provider of the websites do not have any knowledge of the content of the transferred data and its use by LinkedIn. Likewise, we have no knowledge of the content of your data transmitted to LinkedIn and cannot provide any information about what data is stored about you through the use of the LinkedIn service. We have no influence on the type and scope of the data processed by LinkedIn, the type of processing and use or the transfer of this data to third parties. We also have no effective control options in this respect.

Matomo

This website uses Matomo, an open source software for statistical analysis of visitor traffic. Through Matomo, we are able to collect and analyze data on the use of our website-by-website visitors. This enables us to find out, for instance, when which page views occurred and from which region they came. In addition, we collect various log files (e.g. IP address, referrer, browser, and operating system used) and can measure whether our website visitors per-form certain actions (e.g. clicks, etc.). Matomo works without the use of "cookies". The IP address is anonymized immediately after processing and before it is stored. Thus, no more personal data is collected.

As far as the anonymization of the IP address is considered as processing of personal data, this is based on our legitimate interest as per Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. We have a legitimate interest in the use of Matomo without the use of cookies and in anonymized form; the anonymization of the IP address serves to protect the personal data of website visitors.

We host Matomo exclusively on our own servers so that all analysis data remains with us and is not passed on.

Rights of data subjects

You have the following rights towards us:

Revocation of your consent to the processing of data

A wide range of data processing transactions are possible only subject to your express consent. You can also revoke at any time any consent you have already given us. This shall be without prejudice to the lawfulness of any data collection that occurred prior to your revocation.

Right to object to the collection of data in special cases; right to object to direct advertising

In the event that data are processed on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (e) or (f) GDPR, you have the right to at any time object to the processing of your personal data based on grounds arising from your unique situation. This also applies to any profiling based on these provisions. To determine the legal basis, on which any processing of data is based, please consult this privacy policy. If you log an objection, we will no longer process your affected personal data, unless we are in a position to present compelling protection worthy grounds for the processing of your data, that outweigh your interests, rights and freedoms or if the purpose of the processing is the claiming, exercising or defence of legal entitlements.

If your personal data is being processed in order to engage in direct advertising, you have the right to object to the processing of your affected personal data for the purposes of such advertising at any time. This also applies to profiling to the extent that it is affiliated with such direct advertising. If you object, your personal data will subsequently no longer be used for direct advertising purposes.

Right to log a complaint with the competent supervisory authority

In the event of violations of the GDPR, you are entitled to log a complaint with a competent supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State where you usually maintain your domicile, place of work or at the place where the alleged violation occurred. The right to log a complaint is in effect regardless of any other administrative or court proceedings available as legal recourses.

Right to data portability

You have the right to demand that we hand over any data we automatically process on the basis of your consent or in order to fulfil a contract be handed over to you or a third party in a commonly used, machine readable format. If you should demand the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will be done only if it is technically feasible.

Information about, rectification and eradication of data

You can obtain information free of charge at any time about the personal data we have stored about you, as well as about the origin, the recipient and the purpose of data collection and data processing. You also have the right to demand the correction, blocking or deletion of your data. This does not apply to data that must be retained due to legal regulations, such as retention periods under commercial or tax law. To ensure that a data block can be implemented at any time, data is kept in an internal blocking file for control purposes. If data is not covered by a legal archiving obligation, we will delete your data at your request. If the archiving obligation applies, we will block your data. For all questions and concerns regarding the correction, blocking or deletion of personal data, please contact the abovementioned contact persons using the contact details in this privacy policy.

Right to demand processing restrictions

You have the right to demand the imposition of restrictions as far as the processing of your personal data is concerned. To do so, you may contact us at any time. The right to demand restriction of processing applies in the following cases:

  • In the event that you should dispute the correctness of your data archived by us, we will usually need some time to verify this claim. During the time that this investigation is ongoing, you have the right to demand that we restrict the processing of your personal data.
  • If the processing of your personal data was/is conducted in an unlawful manner, you have the option to demand the restriction of the processing of your data in lieu of demanding the eradication of this data.
  • If we do not need your personal data any longer and you need it to exercise, defend or claim legal entitlements, you have the right to demand the restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of its eradication.
  • If you have raised an objection pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR, your rights and our rights will have to be weighed against each other. As long as it has not been determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to demand a restriction of the processing of your personal data.
  • If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, these data – with the exception of their archiving – may be processed only subject to your consent or to claim, exercise or defend legal entitlements or to protect the rights of other natural persons or legal entities or for important public interest reasons cited by the European Union or a Member State of the EU.

Unless otherwise stated in this privacy policy, the processing of personal data in the context of visiting our website is not required by law, but may be necessary for the presentation of the website. An automated decision-making process does not take place in relation to the personal data.
