2) Data collection when visiting our website

2.1 If you use our website for informational purposes only, i.e., if you do not register or otherwise provide us with information, we only collect data that your browser transmits to the website server (so-called “server log files”). When you access our website, we collect the following data, which is technically necessary for us to display the website to you:

– Our visited website

– Date and time of access

– Amount of data sent in bytes

– Source/reference from which you came to the page

– Browser used

– Operating system used

– IP address used (if applicable: in anonymized form)

Processing is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR based on our legitimate interest in improving the stability and functionality of our website. The data will not be shared or used for any other purpose. However, we reserve the right to subsequently review the server log files if there are concrete indications of illegal use.

2.2 For security reasons and to protect the transmission of personal data and other confidential content (e.g., orders or inquiries to the controller), this website uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the character string “https://” and the lock symbol in your browser bar.

3) Cookies

To make visiting our website more attractive and enable the use of certain functions, we use cookies, i.e., small text files that are stored on your device. Some of these cookies are automatically deleted after closing your browser (so-called “session cookies”); others remain on your device for a longer period and allow you to save page settings (so-called “persistent cookies”). In the latter case, you can find out how long cookies are stored in the overview of your web browser’s cookie settings.

If personal data is also processed by individual cookies used by us, the processing is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR either to execute the contract, in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR in the event of consent being given, or in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR to protect our legitimate interests in the best possible functionality of the website and a customer-friendly and effective design of the site visit.

You can set your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies and can decide individually whether to accept them or to exclude the acceptance of cookies in certain cases or in general.

Please note that if you do not accept cookies, the functionality of our website may be limited.

4) Contact

4.1 WhatsApp Business

We offer visitors to our website the opportunity to contact us via the WhatsApp messaging service provided by WhatsApp Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland. For this purpose, we use the so-called “Business Version” of WhatsApp.

If you contact us via WhatsApp regarding a specific transaction (for example, a placed order), we will store and use the mobile phone number you use for WhatsApp and – if provided – your first and last name in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR to process and respond to your request. Based on the same legal basis, we may ask you via WhatsApp to provide additional data (order number, customer number, address, or email address) so that we can assign your request to a specific process.

If you use our WhatsApp contact for general inquiries (e.g. about the range of services, availability or our website), we will save and use the mobile phone number you use on WhatsApp and – if provided – your first and last name in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest in the efficient and timely provision of the requested information.

Your data will only be used to respond to your request via WhatsApp. It will not be shared with third parties.

Please note that WhatsApp Business receives access to the address book of the mobile device we use for this purpose and automatically transfers telephone numbers stored in the address book to a server of the parent company Meta Platforms Inc. in the USA. To operate our WhatsApp Business account, we use a mobile device whose address book only stores the WhatsApp contact data of users who have contacted us via WhatsApp.

This ensures that every person whose WhatsApp contact details are stored in our address book has consented to the transmission of their WhatsApp telephone number from the address books of their chat contacts in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR by accepting the WhatsApp Terms of Use upon first use of the app on their device. The transmission of data from users who do not use WhatsApp and/or have not contacted us via WhatsApp is therefore excluded.

For information on the purpose and scope of data collection and further processing and use of data by WhatsApp, as well as your rights and settings options for protecting your privacy, please refer to WhatsApp’s privacy policy: https://www.whatsapp.com/legal/?eea=1#privacy-policy

As part of the above-mentioned processing, data may be transferred to Meta Platforms Inc. servers in the USA.

For data transfers to the USA, the provider has joined the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, which ensures compliance with the European level of data protection on the basis of an adequacy decision of the European Commission.

4.2 When you contact us (e.g., via contact form or email), personal data is collected. The data collected when you use a contact form is stated in the respective contact form. This data is stored and used exclusively for the purpose of responding to your inquiry or for the contact and the associated technical administration.

The legal basis for processing this data is our legitimate interest in responding to your request in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. If your contact is aimed at concluding a contract, an additional legal basis for processing is Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR. Your data will be deleted after your request has been finally processed. This is the case if it can be inferred from the circumstances that the matter in question has been conclusively clarified and provided there are no statutory retention periods to the contrary.

5) Use of customer data for direct marketing

5.1 Registration for our email newsletter

If you subscribe to our email newsletter, we will regularly send you information about our offers. The only mandatory information required to receive the newsletter is your email address. Providing additional data is voluntary and will be used to address you personally. We use the so-called double opt-in procedure to send the newsletter. This means that we will only send you an email newsletter once you have expressly confirmed that you consent to receiving the newsletter. We will then send you a confirmation email asking you to confirm that you wish to receive the newsletter in the future by clicking on a corresponding link.

By activating the confirmation link, you give us your consent to use your personal data in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR. When you register for the newsletter, we save your IP address entered by your Internet service provider (ISP) as well as the date and time of registration so that we can trace any possible misuse of your email address at a later date. The data we collect when you register for the newsletter will be used exclusively for the purposes of advertising via the newsletter. You can unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time using the link provided for this purpose in the newsletter or by sending a corresponding message to the person responsible named above. After unsubscribing, your email address will be immediately deleted from our newsletter distribution list unless you have expressly consented to further use of your data or we reserve the right to use the data in any other way that is permitted by law and about which we inform you in this declaration.

5.2 Sending the email newsletter to existing customers

If you provided us with your email address when purchasing goods or services, we reserve the right to regularly send you offers for similar goods or services from our range by email. According to Section 7 (3) of the German Unfair Competition Act (UWG), we do not need to obtain your separate consent for this. Data processing is carried out solely on the basis of our legitimate interest in personalized direct advertising in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. If you initially objected to the use of your email address for this purpose, we will not send you emails.

You are entitled to object to the use of your email address for the aforementioned advertising purposes at any time, with future effect, by notifying the controller named at the beginning. You will only incur transmission costs according to the basic rates. Upon receipt of your objection, the use of your email address for advertising purposes will be discontinued immediately.

6) Web analysis services

6.1 Google (Universal) Analytics

This website uses Google (Universal) Analytics, a web analysis service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland (“Google”), which enables an analysis of your use of our website.

By default, when you visit the website, Google (Universal) Analytics sets cookies. These cookies are stored on your device as small text blocks and collect certain information. This information also includes your IP address, which Google truncates to prevent it from being directly linked to your personal information.

The information is transferred to Google servers and processed there. This may also involve transfers to Google LLC, based in the USA.

Google uses the information collected on our behalf to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity for us, and to provide other services related to website activity and internet usage. The shortened IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data. The data collected as part of the use of Google (Universal) Analytics will be stored for a period of two months and then deleted.

All processing described above, in particular the setting of cookies on the device used, will only take place if you have given us your express consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR.

Without your consent, Google (Universal) Analytics will not be used during your visit to the site. You can revoke your consent at any time with future effect. To exercise your right of revocation, please deactivate this service using the “Cookie Consent Tool” provided on the website.

Further legal information about Google (Universal) Analytics can be found at https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de&gl=de and at https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites

Demographic characteristics

Google (Universal) Analytics uses the special “demographic characteristics” feature to create statistics that provide information about the age, gender, and interests of site visitors. This is done by analyzing advertising and information from third parties. This allows target groups to be identified for marketing activities. However, the collected data cannot be assigned to a specific person and is deleted after a storage period of two months.

Google Signals

As an extension to Google (Universal) Analytics, Google Signals can be used on this website to create cross-device reports. If you have activated personalized ads and have linked your devices to your Google Account, Google can analyze your usage behavior across devices and create database models, including for cross-device conversions, subject to your consent to the use of Google Analytics in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR. We do not receive any personal data from Google, only statistics. If you would like to stop cross-device analysis, you can deactivate the “Personalized Advertising” function in your Google Account settings. To do so, follow the instructions on this page: https://support.google.com/ads/answer/2662922?hl=de Further information about Google Signals can be found at the following link: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/7532985?hl=de

6.2 Google Analytics 4

This website uses Google Analytics 4, a web analysis service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland (“Google”), which enables an analysis of your use of our website.

6.3 Google Tag Manager

This website uses “Google Tag Manager”, a service provided by the following provider: Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (hereinafter: “Google”).

Google Tag Manager provides a technical basis for bundling various web applications, including tracking and analytics services, and calibrating, controlling, and linking them to conditions via a uniform user interface. Google Tag Manager itself does not store or read information on user devices. Nor does the service perform any independent data analyses. However, when you access a page, Google Tag Manager transmits your IP address to Google, where it may store it. Transmission to Google LLC servers in the USA is also possible.

This processing will only be carried out if you have given us your express consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR. Without this consent, Google Tag Manager will not be used during your visit to the site. You can revoke your consent at any time with future effect. To exercise your revocation, please deactivate this service using the “Cookie Consent Tool” provided on the website.

We have concluded a data processing agreement with the provider, which ensures the protection of the data of our site visitors and prohibits unauthorized disclosure to third parties.

7) Retargeting/remarketing and conversion tracking

Facebook Pixel for creating custom audiences with advanced data matching (with cookie consent tool)

Within our online offering, we use the “Facebook Pixel” service from the following provider in the extended data matching mode: Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Quare, Dublin 2, Ireland (“Facebook”)

If a user clicks on an ad we place on Facebook, the URL of our linked page is expanded with a parameter using “Facebook Pixel.” This URL parameter is then entered into the user’s browser after redirection via a cookie set by our linked page. Furthermore, this cookie records specific customer data, such as the email address, which we collect on our website linked to the Facebook ad during transactions such as purchases, account registrations, or registrations (extended data matching). The cookie is then read and enables the transmission of the data, including the specific customer data, to Facebook.

We use “Facebook Pixel” with enhanced data matching to make our Facebook advertisements (so-called Facebook Ads) more effective and to ensure that they correspond to the interests of users or have certain characteristics (e.g. interests in certain topics or products determined based on the websites visited) that we transmit to Facebook (so-called “Custom Audiences”).

In addition, we analyze the effectiveness of our ads by tracking whether users were redirected to our website after clicking on an ad (conversion). Compared to the standard version of the “Facebook Pixel,” the enhanced data matching feature helps us better measure the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns by tracking more attributed conversions.

All transmitted data is stored and processed by Facebook so that it can be assigned to the respective user profile and Facebook can use the data for its own advertising purposes in accordance with Facebook’s data usage guidelines (https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/). The data may enable Facebook and its partners to place ads on and outside of Facebook.

All processing described above, in particular the setting of cookies for reading information on the device used, will only be carried out if you have given us your express consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR. You can revoke your consent at any time with future effect by deactivating this service in the “Cookie Consent Tool” provided on the website.

We have concluded a data processing agreement with the provider, which ensures the protection of the data of our site visitors and prohibits unauthorized disclosure to third parties.

The information generated by Facebook is usually transferred to a Facebook server and stored there; in this context, it may also be transferred to Meta Platforms Inc. servers in the USA.

8) Page functionalities

8.1 YouTube

This website uses plugins to display and play videos from the following provider: Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland

Data may also be transmitted to: Google LLC., USA

When you visit a page on our website that contains such a plugin, your browser establishes a direct connection to the provider’s servers to load the plugin. Certain information, including your IP address, is transmitted to the provider.

If the playback of embedded videos is started via the plugin, the provider also uses cookies to collect information about user behavior, create playback statistics and prevent abusive behavior.

If you are logged into a user account with the provider during your visit, your data will be directly assigned to your account when you click on a video. If you do not wish to be assigned to your account, you must log out before clicking the play button.

All of the aforementioned processing, in particular the setting of cookies for reading information on the device used, will only take place if you have given us your express consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR. You can revoke your consent at any time with future effect by deactivating this service using the “Cookie Consent Tool” provided on the website.

8.2 Google Maps

This website uses an online map service from the following provider: Google Maps (API) from Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland (“Google”).

Google Maps is a web service for displaying interactive maps to visually present geographical information. Using this service, you will be shown our location and, if necessary, make it easier to find us.

As soon as you access the sub-pages in which the Google Maps map is integrated, information about your use of our website (such as your IP address) is transmitted to Google servers and stored there. This may also involve transmission to the servers of Google LLC in the USA. This occurs regardless of whether Google provides a user account through which you are logged in or whether a user account already exists. If you are logged in to Google, your data is assigned directly to your account. If you do not wish to be assigned to your Google profile, you must log out before activating the button. Google stores your data (even for users who are not logged in) as usage profiles and evaluates this.

The collection, storage, and analysis are carried out in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR on the basis of Google’s legitimate interest in displaying personalized advertising, market research, and/or tailoring Google websites to meet your needs. You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles; you must contact Google to exercise this right. If you do not agree to the future transmission of your data to Google when using Google Maps, you also have the option of completely deactivating the Google Maps web service by disabling JavaScript in your browser. Google Maps, and thus also the map display on this website, can then no longer be used.

To the extent legally required, we have obtained your consent to the processing of your data as described above in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR. You can revoke your consent at any time with future effect. To exercise your consent, please follow the objection option described above.

8.3 Google Web Fonts

This site uses so-called web fonts from the following provider for the uniform display of fonts: Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland

When you visit a page, your browser loads the required web fonts into your browser cache to correctly display text and fonts and establishes a direct connection to the provider’s servers. Certain browser information, including your IP address, is transmitted to the provider.

Data may also be transmitted to: Google LLC, USA

The processing of personal data when establishing contact with the font provider will only take place if you have given us your express consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR. You can revoke your consent at any time with future effect by deactivating this service using the “Cookie Consent Tool” provided on the website. If your browser does not support web fonts, a standard font from your computer will be used.

8.4 Google reCAPTCHA

On this website we use the CAPTCHA service of the following provider: Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland

Data may also be transmitted to: Google LLC, USA. The provider uses “Google Fonts,” i.e., fonts downloaded from the Internet by Google, to visually design the Captcha window. No further information beyond that mentioned above, which is already transmitted to Google via the ReCaptcha functionality, is processed in this case.

The service checks whether an input was made by a natural person or abusively through machine and automated processing, and blocks spam, DDoS attacks, and similar automated malicious access. To ensure that an action is performed by a human and not an automated bot, the provider collects the IP address of the device used, identification data of the browser and operating system type used, as well as the date and duration of the visit, and transmits this data to the provider’s servers for evaluation.

The legal basis is our legitimate interest in determining individual responsibility on the Internet and preventing misuse and spam in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR.

We have concluded a data processing agreement with the provider, which ensures the protection of the data of our site visitors and prohibits unauthorized disclosure to third parties.

8.5 Zoom

For online meetings, video conferences and/or webinars, we use this provider: Zoom Video Communications Inc., 55 Almaden Blvd, Suite 600, San Jose, CA 95113, USA

The provider processes various types of data, with the extent of the data processed depending on which data you provide before or during participation in an online meeting, video conference, or webinar. Your data as a communication participant is processed and stored on the provider’s servers. This may include, in particular, your login data (name, email address, telephone number (optional), and password) and session data (subject, participant IP address, device information, description (optional)).

In addition, participants’ image and audio contributions as well as voice input in chats can be processed.

Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR serves as the legal basis for the processing of personal data necessary for the performance of a contract with you (this also applies to processing operations required to carry out pre-contractual measures). If you have given us your consent to process your data, the processing will be based on Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR. You can revoke your consent at any time with future effect.

Furthermore, the legal basis for data processing when conducting online meetings, video conferences or webinars is our legitimate interest in the effective conduct of the online meeting, webinar or video conference pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR.

We have concluded a data processing agreement with the provider, which ensures the protection of the data of our site visitors and prohibits unauthorized disclosure to third parties.

For the transfer of data to the USA, the provider relies on standard contractual clauses of the European Commission, which are intended to ensure compliance with the European level of data protection.

8.6 Applications for job vacancies by email

We advertise currently vacant positions in a separate section on our website, for which interested parties can apply by email to the contact address provided.

Applicants must provide all personal information necessary for a sound assessment, including general information such as name, address, and contact details, as well as performance-related documentation and, where applicable, health-related information. Application details can be found in the job posting.

After receiving the application via email, the data will be stored and evaluated exclusively for the purpose of processing the application. For follow-up inquiries, we will use either the applicant’s email address or telephone number. Processing is based on Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR (or Section 26 (1) BDSG), according to which completing the application process is considered the initiation of an employment contract.

If special categories of personal data within the meaning of Art. 9 (1) GDPR (e.g. health data such as information on severe disability) are requested from applicants as part of the application process, the processing will be carried out in accordance with Art. 9 (2) (b) GDPR so that we can exercise the rights arising from employment law and social security and social protection law and fulfil our obligations in this regard.

Cumulatively or alternatively, the processing of special categories of data may also be based on Article 9 (1) (h) GDPR if it is carried out for the purposes of preventive healthcare or occupational medicine, for the assessment of the applicant’s ability to work, for medical diagnostics, care or treatment in the health or social sector or for the administration of systems and services in the health or social sector.

If the applicant is not selected or withdraws their application prematurely, their submitted data and all electronic correspondence, including the application email, will be deleted after a maximum of six months following notification. This period is based on our legitimate interest in answering any follow-up questions regarding the application and, if necessary, fulfilling our obligations under the regulations on equal treatment of applicants.

In the event of a successful application, the data provided will be processed on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR (when processed in Germany in conjunction with Section 26 (1) BDSG) for the purpose of carrying out the employment relationship.

9) Tools and Other

Cookie Consent Tool

This website uses a so-called “cookie consent tool” to obtain effective user consent for cookies and cookie-based applications that require consent. The “cookie consent tool” is displayed to users when they visit the page in the form of an interactive user interface, where consent for specific cookies and/or cookie-based applications can be given by checking the appropriate boxes. By using the tool, all cookies/services that require consent are only loaded if the respective user gives their consent by checking the appropriate boxes. This ensures that such cookies are only placed on the user’s device if consent has been given.

The tool uses technically necessary cookies to save your cookie preferences. Personal user data is generally not processed.

If, in individual cases, personal data (such as the IP address) is processed for the purpose of storing, assigning or logging cookie settings, this is done in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest in legally compliant, user-specific and user-friendly consent management for cookies and thus in a legally compliant design of our website.

A further legal basis for processing is Art. 6 (1) (c) GDPR. As the controller, we are legally obliged to make the use of technically unnecessary cookies dependent on the respective user’s consent.

Where necessary, we have concluded a data processing agreement with the provider, which ensures the protection of the data of our site visitors and prohibits unauthorized disclosure to third parties.

Further information about the operator and the setting options of the cookie consent tool can be found directly in the corresponding user interface on our website.

When processing personal data on the basis of express consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR, the data concerned will be stored until you revoke your consent.

If there are statutory retention periods for data that are processed within the framework of legal transactions or obligations similar to legal transactions on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR, these data will be routinely deleted after the retention periods have expired, provided that they are no longer required to fulfil or initiate a contract and/or we no longer have a legitimate interest in continuing to store them.

When processing personal data on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR, these data will be stored until you exercise your right of objection in accordance with Art. 21 (1) GDPR, unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which outweigh your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves to assert, exercise or defend legal claims.

When processing personal data for the purpose of direct advertising on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR, these data will be stored until you exercise your right of objection in accordance with Art. 21 (2) GDPR.

Unless otherwise stated in the other information in this statement on specific processing situations, stored personal data will be deleted when they are no longer necessary for the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed.
