Please direct any inquiries regarding our processing operations, data subject rights or notices regarding processing operations exclusively to our data protection officer directly.

What is it about?

This privacy policy meets the legal requirements for transparency in the processing of personal data. This is any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. This includes, for example, information such as your name, age, address, telephone number, date of birth, e-mail address, IP address or user behavior when visiting a website. Information for which we cannot (or can only with a disproportionate effort) establish a reference to your person, e.g. by anonymization, is not personal data. The processing of personal data (e.g. collection, retrieval, use, storage or transmission) always requires a legal basis and a defined purpose.

Stored personal data are deleted as soon as the purpose of the processing has been achieved and there are no legitimate grounds for further storage of the data. We will inform you in the individual processing operations about the specific storage periods or criteria for storage. Irrespective of this, we store your personal in individual cases for the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims and if there are statutory retention obligations.

Who gets the data?

We only disclose your personal data that we process on our website to third parties if this is necessary for the fulfillment of the purposes and is covered by the legal basis in the individual case (e.g. consent or safeguarding legitimate interests). In addition, we disclose personal data to third parties in individual cases if this serves the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims. Possible recipients may then be, for example, law enforcement agencies, lawyers, auditors, courts, etc.

Insofar as we use service providers for the operation of our website, who process personal data on our behalf within the scope of commissioned processing pursuant to Art. 28 GDPR, they may be recipients of your personal data. For more information on the use of processors and web services, please refer to the overview of the individual processing operations.

Do you use cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are sent by us to the browser of your end device during your visit to our website and stored there. As an alternative to the use of cookies, information can also be stored in the local storage of your browser. Some functions of our website cannot be offered without the use of cookies or local storage (technically necessary cookies). Other cookies, on the other hand, enable us to perform various analyses, so that we are able, for example, to recognize the browser you are using when you visit our website again and to transmit various information to us (non-essential cookies). With the help of cookies, we can, among other things, make our website more user-friendly and effective for you, for example by tracking your use of our website and determining your preferred settings (e.g. country and language settings). If third parties process information via cookies, they collect the information directly from your browser. Cookies do not cause any damage to your end device. They cannot execute programs or contain viruses.

We provide information about the respective services for which we use cookies in the individual processing operations. You can find detailed information about the cookies used in the cookie settings or in the Consent Manager of this website.

What are the rights?

Under the conditions of the statutory provisions of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), you have the following rights as a data subject:

  • Information according to Art. 15 GDPR about the data stored about you in the form of meaningful information about the details of the processing and a copy of your data;
  • Correction according to Art. 16 GDPR of incorrect or incomplete data stored by us;
  • Deletion pursuant to Art. 17 GDPR of the data stored by us, insofar as the processing is not necessary for the exercise of the right to freedom of expression and information, for the fulfillment of a legal obligation, for reasons of public interest or for the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims;
  • Restriction of processing pursuant to Art. 18 GDPR, insofar as the accuracy of the data is disputed, the processing is unlawful, we no longer need the data and you object to their deletion because you need them for the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims or you have objected to the processing pursuant to Art. 21 GDPR.
  • Data portability pursuant to Art. 20 GDPR, insofar as you have provided us with personal data within the scope of consent pursuant to Art. 6 (1) a GDPR or on the basis of a contract pursuant to Art. 6 (1) b GDPR and these have been processed by us with the aid of automated processes. You will receive your data in a structured, common and machine-readable format or we will transfer the data directly to another responsible party, insofar as this is technically feasible.
  • Objection according to Art. 21 GDPR against the processing of your personal data, insofar as this is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. e, f GDPR and there are reasons for this that arise from your particular situation or the objection is directed against direct advertising. The right to object does not exist if overriding compelling legitimate grounds for the processing are demonstrated or the processing is carried out for the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims. Where the right to object does not exist for individual processing operations, this is indicated there.
  • Revocation according to Art. 7 para. 3 GDPR of your given consent with effect for the future.
  • Complaint pursuant to Art. 77 GDPR to a supervisory authority if you are of the opinion that the processing of your personal data violates the GDPR. As a rule, you can contact the supervisory authority of your usual place of residence, your place of work or our company headquarters.

We maintain so-called fan pages or accounts or channels on the networks mentioned below in order to provide you with information and offers also within social networks and to offer you further ways to contact us and to inform yourself about our offers. In the following, we inform you about which data we or the respective social network process from you in connection with the call and use of our fan pages/accounts.

Data that we process from you

If you wish to contact us via messenger or direct message via the respective social network, we generally process your user name via which you contact us and, if necessary, store other data provided by you insofar as this is required to process/respond to your request.

The legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 f) GDPR (processing is necessary to protect the legitimate interests of the controller).

(Static) usage data that we receive from the social networks

We receive automated statistics regarding our accounts via Insights functionalities. The statistics include, among other things, the total number of page views, likes, page activity and post interactions, reach, video views, and the percentage of men/women among our fans/followers.

The statistics only contain aggregated data that cannot be related to individual persons. You are not identifiable to us through this.

What data the social networks process from you

In order to view the content of our fan pages or accounts, you do not have to be a member of the respective social network and, in this respect, no user account for the respective social network is required.

Please note, however, that the social networks also collect and store data from website visitors without a user account when the respective social network is called up (e.g. technical data in order to be able to display the website to you) and use cookies and similar technologies, over which we have no control. Details on this can be found in the privacy policy of the respective social network (see the corresponding links above)

Insofar as you wish to interact with the content on our fan pages/accounts, e.g. comment on, share or like our postings/contributions and/or contact us via messenger functions, prior registration with the respective social network and the provision of personal data is required.

We have no influence on the data processing by the social networks within the scope of their use by you. To our knowledge, your data is stored and processed in particular in connection with the provision of the services of the respective social network, as well as for the analysis of user behavior (using cookies, pixels/web beacons and similar technologies), on the basis of which advertising based on your interests is played both within and outside the respective social network. It cannot be ruled out that your data will be stored by the social networks outside the EU/EEA and passed on to third parties.

Information on, among other things, the exact scope and purposes of the processing of your personal data, the storage period/deletion as well as guidelines on the use of cookies and similar technologies in the context of registration and use of the social networks can be found in the privacy policy/cookie policy of the social networks.

LinkedIn page

LinkedIn is a social network of LinkedIn Inc. based in Sunnyvale, California, USA, which enables the creation of private as well as professional profiles of natural persons and company profiles. Users can maintain their existing contacts and make new ones within the social network. Businesses and other organizations can create profiles that upload photos and other company information to present themselves as employers and hire employees. Other LinkedIn users have access to this information and can write their own articles and share this content with others. The network's focus is on professional exchanges on specialized topics with people who share the same professional interests.

When using or visiting the network, LinkedIn automatically collects data from the users or visitors during the use or visit, for example user name, job title and IP address. This is done with the help of various tracking technologies. LinkedIn provides benefits with information, offers and recommendations based on the data collected in this way, among other things.

We collect your data via our company profile only to realize a possible provision for communication and interaction with us. This collection usually includes your name, message content, comment content and the profile information you provide "publicly".

The processing of your personal data for our above-mentioned purposes is based on our legitimate business and communicative interest in offering an information and communication channel pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 f GDPR. Should you, as a user, have given your consent to the data processing vis-à-vis the respective provider of the social network, the legal basis of the processing extends to Art. 6 para. 1 a, Art. 7 GDPR.

Due to the fact that the actual data processing is carried out by the provider of the social network, our access to your data is limited. Only the provider of the social network is authorized to fully access your data. Due to this, only the provider can directly take and implement appropriate measures to fulfill your user rights (information request, deletion request, objection, etc.). The assertion of corresponding rights is therefore most effective directly against the respective provider.

We are jointly responsible with LinkedIn for the personal content of our company profile. Data subject rights can be asserted with LinkedIn Inc. as well as with us.

We do not make any decisions regarding the data collected on LinkedIn's site using tracking technologies.
