Information on Data Processing

Automated Data Processing (Log Files etc.)

Our website can be visited without actively providing personal information about the user. However, every time our website is accessed, we automatically store access data (server log files), such as the name of the internet service provider, the operating system used, the website the user visited us from, the date and duration of the visit and the name of the file accessed, as well the IP address of the device used (for security reasons, such as to recognise attacks on our website) for a duration of 7 days. This data is solely evaluated for the purpose of improving our offering and does not enable conclusions to be drawn about the person of the user. This data is not merged with other data sources. We process and use the data for the following purposes: to provide the website, to improve our websites and to prevent and identify errors/malfunctions and the abuse of the website.

Use of Cookies (General, Functionality, Opt-Out Links etc.)

We use ‘cookies’ on our website to make visiting our website more attractive and to enable certain functions to be used. The use of cookies serves our legitimate interest in making a visit to our website as pleasant as possible and is based on article 6 (1) (f) GDPR. Cookies are standard internet technology used to store and retrieve login details and other usage information for all the users of a website. Cookies are small text files that are deposited on your end device. They enable us to store user settings, inter alia, to ensure that our website can be shown in a format tailored to your device. Some of the cookies we use are deleted after the end of a browser session, i.e. when closing the browser (known as ‘session cookies’). Other cookies remain on the user’s end device and enable us or our partner companies to recognise the browser on the next visit (known as ‘persistent cookies’).
The browser can be set so that the user is informed when cookies are to be stored and can decide whether to accept them in each individual situation, to accept them under certain circumstances, or to exclude them in general. In addition, cookies can be retrospectively deleted to remove data that the website stored on your computer. Deactivating cookies (known as ‘opting out’) can limit our website’s functionality in some respects.

We also use a so-called Content Delivery Network (CDN) in order to be able to provide the content of our website more quickly. For example, when website visitors access graphics, scripts or other content, these are provided quickly and in an optimized manner with the help of regionally and internationally distributed servers. When the files are retrieved, a connection is established to the servers of a CDN provider, whereby personal data of visitors to our website is processed, such as the IP address and browser data.

Online Marketing

We process personal data within the framework of online marketing, particularly regarding potential interests and to measure the effectiveness of our marketing measures, with the aim of continually boosting our reach and the prominence of our online offering.
We store the relevant information in cookies or use similar procedures for the purpose of measuring the effectiveness of our marketing measures and identifying potential interests. The data stored in the cookies could include the content viewed, webpages visited, settings, and the functions and systems used. However, plain data from users is not normally processed for the above purposes. If so, the data is changed so that the actual identity of the user is not known to us, nor the provider of the tool used. The changed data is often stored in user profiles.
In the event that user profiles are stored, the data can be used, read, supplemented, and expanded on the server of the online marketing procedure when other online offerings are visited that use the same online marketing procedure.
We can calculate the success of our adverts using summarised data that is made available to us by the provider of the online marketing procedure (known as ‘conversion measurement’). As part of these conversion measurements, we can trace whether a marketing measure caused a visitor to our online offering to decide to make a purchase. This evaluation serves to analyse the success of our online marketing.

Categories of data subjects: Website visitors, users of online services, prospective customers, communication partners, business partners and contractual partners
Data categories: Usage data (e.g. websites visited, interest in content, access times), metadata and communication data (e.g. device information, IP addresses), location data, contact data (e.g. email address, telephone number), content data (e.g. text inputs, photographs, videos)
Purposes of processing: Marketing (sometimes interest-based and behavioural, as well), conversion measurement, target group formation, click tracking, development of marketing strategies and increase in the efficiency of campaigns
Legal basis: Consent (article 6 (1) (a) GDPR), legitimate interest (article 6 (1) (f) GDPR)
Legitimate interests: Optimisation and further development of the website, increase in profits, customer loyalty and acquisition,

Presence on Social Media

We maintain online presences on social networks and career platforms so we can exchange information with users registered there and easily contact them.
Sometimes, data belonging to social network users is used for market research and, by extension, for advertising purposes. Users’ usage behaviour, such as their stated interests, can lead to user profiles being created and used in order to adapt adverts to suit the interests of the target group. To this end, cookies are normally stored on users’ end devices, which sometimes occurs regardless of whether you are a registered user of the social network.
In conjunction with the use of social media, we also make use of the associated messenger services to communicate easily with users. We would like to point out that the security of some services can depend on the user's account settings. Even in cases of end-to-end encryption, the service provider can draw conclusions about the fact that the user is communicating with us, when they do so, and, on occasion, capture location data.
Depending on where the social network is operated, the user data can be processed outside the European Union or outside the European Economic Area. This can lead to risks for users because it is more difficult for them to assert their rights, for example.

Categories of data subjects: Registered users and non-registered users of the social network
Data categories: Master data (e.g. name, address), contact data (e.g. email address, telephone number), content data (e.g. text inputs, photographs, videos), usage data (e.g. websites visited, interest in content, access times), metadata and communication data (e.g. device information, IP addresses)
Purposes of processing: Increase in the reach, networking of users
Legal basis: Consent (article 6 (1) (a) GDPR), legitimate interest (article 6 (1) (f) GDPR)
Legitimate interests: Interaction and communication on social media pages, increase in profits, findings regarding target groups

Newsletter and Mass Communication (including Tracking, if applicable)

On our online offering, users have the option of subscribing to our newsletter or to notifications on various channels (hereinafter referred to overall as ‘newsletters’). We only send newsletters to recipients who have agreed to receive the newsletter, and within the framework of statutory provisions. We use a select service provider to send out our newsletter.
An email address must be provided to subscribe to our newsletter. If applicable, we collect extra data, such as to include a personal greeting in our newsletter.
Our newsletter is only sent after the ‘double opt-in procedure’ has been fully completed. If visitors to our online offering decide to receive our newsletter, they will receive a confirmation email that serves to prevent the fraudulent input of wrong email addresses and preclude a single, possibly accidental, click from causing the newsletter to be sent. The subscription to our newsletter can be ended at any time with future effect. An unsubscription (opt-out) link is given at the end of every newsletter.
In addition, we are obliged to provide proof that our subscribers actually want to receive the newsletter. To this end, we collect and store their IP address, along with the time of subscription and unsubscription.

Our newsletters are designed so that we can obtain findings about improvements, target groups or the reading behaviour of our subscribers. We are able to do this thanks to a 'web beacon’ or tracking pixel that reacts to interactions with the newsletter, such as looking at whether links are clicked on, whether the newsletter is opened at all, or at what time the newsletter is read. For technical reasons, we can associate this information with individual subscribers.

Categories of data subjects: Newsletter subscribers
Data categories: Master data (e.g. name, address), contact data (e.g. email address, telephone number), metadata and communication data (e.g. device information, IP addresses), usage data (e.g. websites visited, interest in content, access times)

We are a globally active company headquartered in Germany.

It may be necessary for us to disclose personal data for the performance of contracts or to comply with legal obligations. If the data necessary in this regard is not provided to us, it may be the case that the contract cannot be concluded with the data subject.

We transfer data to countries outside the EEA (known as ‘third countries’). This occurs due to the above-mentioned purposes (transfer within the group and/or to other recipients). Transfer is only effected to fulfil our contractual and legal obligations, or on the basis of the consent that the data subject granted prior to this.
In the event of transferring personal data to a country outside the EEA, we ensure that the processing is legally permissible in the manner we intend. In this case, we have concluded standard data protection clauses to protect the data of data subjects best possible. A copy of the guarantee used is available at [https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/de/ALL/?uri=CELEX%3A32010D0087].

 

Storage Period

In principle, we store the data of visitors to our online offering for as long as needed to render our service or to the extent that the European body issuing directives and regulations or another legislator stipulates in laws and regulations to which we are subject. In all other cases, we delete personal data once the purpose has been fulfilled, with the exception of data that we need to continue to store to comply with legal obligations (e.g. if retention periods under tax law and trade law require us to keep documents such as contracts and invoices for a certain period of time).
 

Automated Decision-Making

We do not use automated decision-making or profiling.
 

Legal Bases

The decisive legal bases primarily arise from the GDPR. They are supplemented by national laws from member states and can, if applicable, be applied alongside or in addition to the GDPR.

Consent: Article 6 (1) (a) GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing procedures regarding which we have sought consent for a particular purpose of processing.
Performance of a contract: Article 6 (1) (b) serves as the legal basis for processing required to perform a contract to which the data subject is a contractual party or for taking steps prior to entering into a contract, at the request of the data subject.
