Legal basis

The following Privacy Policy provides you with all the information regarding the legal principles and regulations, i.e. the legal bases of the General Data Protection Regulation, that enable us to process personal data. As such, this policy will refer to REGULATION (EU) 2016/679 OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL of 27 April 2016.

 

We will only process your data if one of the following applies:

  1. Consent (Article 6 (1)(a) GDPR): You have given your consent for us to process your data for a specific purpose.
  2. Contract (Article 6 Paragraph (1)(b) GDPR): We are processing your data in order to fulfil a contract or pre-contractual obligations that has or have been agreed with you. For example, if you send us an application.

Storage period

We erase personal data as soon as the reason for the processing of this data has ceased to exist. In some cases, we have a legal obligation to continue to store specific data after the original purpose for the processing thereof has ceased to exist. If you would like to request the erasure of your data or wish to withdraw your consent, your data will be erased, provided that we are under no obligation to store this data.

 

Data transfer to Third Countries

We only transfer data to or process it in countries outside of the EU/EEA (Third Countries) if you have agreed to this processing, if this is required by law or if this is contractually necessary and, in all cases, only to the extent that is generally permitted. The processing of personal data in Third Countries such as the USA, where many service providers’ servers are located, may mean that personal data is processed and stored within this Third Country.

 

Therefore, we expressly draw your attention to the fact that, according to the European Court of Justice, there is currently no adequate level of data protection for data transfers to the USA. Data processing by US services (such as Google) may mean that data is not processed and stored anonymously. Furthermore, US government authorities may have access to individual data. In addition, collected data may be able to be linked to data from other services provided by the same provider if you have a corresponding user account.

 

Data processing security

In order to protect personal data, we have put in place both technical and organisational measures. In so far as is technically possible and appropriate, we carry out encryption or pseudonymisation of personal data. Despite all these measures, one hundred percent security is not possible, even by objective standards.

 

Cookies

Our website uses HTTP cookies to store user-specific data. Below, you will find our explanation as to what cookies are and why they are used.

 

Whenever you are browsing the internet, you will be using a browser. The majority of websites store small text files in your browser when you visit the site. These files are known as cookies. These are small files that are stored by our website on your computer. These cookie files are automatically stored in the cookie file on your browser. A cookie consists of a name and a value. When defining a cookie, one or more attributes must also be specified. Cookies store some of your user information such as language and your personal page settings for the browser. When you visit our website again, your browser sends this information back to our site.

 

Introduction to web hosting

When you visit websites, some data, including personal data, is automatically created and stored. The same applies when you visit our website. 

 

In order to display the website, the browser must connect to another computer – the so-called web server. The web server has a technically complex task. This is why, generally, this task is assigned to experienced providers. These providers provide web hosting services which ensure that website data is stored reliably and accurately. Whilst the browser is connecting to your computer (desktop, laptop, tablet or smartphone) and during the data transfer process to and from the web server, personal data may be processed.

On the one hand, your computer is storing data, and, on the other hand, the web server also needs to store data for a while to ensure proper operation. For this, we use www.webflow.com in the USA. For more information on this, please also consult the hosting provider’s Privacy Policy below.

 

Web hosting provider (Webflow)

Below, you will find the contact information for our external hosting provider, where, in addition to the information provided above, you can find out more about data processing:

Webflow, Inc, 398 11th Street, 2nd Floor, San Francisco, CA 94103

Web analytics (general)

On our website, we use software for analysing the behaviour of website visitors, known as web analytics or web analysis. For this, data is collected and then stored, managed and processed by the respective analytics tool provider (also known as the tracking tool).

 

Using browser add-ons to deactivate Google Analytics-JavaScript (ga.js, analytics.js, dc.js) prevents Google Analytics from using your data. You can download and install the browser add-on from: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de. Please make sure that when using this add-on only Google Analytics data collection has been deactivated.

The use of Google Analytics requires your consent which we obtain using our cookie pop-up. This consent, in accordance with Article 6 (1)(a) GDPR (consent), provides the legal basis for the processing of personal data which may occur when collected by web analytics tools. In addition to consent, we have a legitimate interest in analysing the behaviour of website visitors. By using Google Analytics, we are able to identify website errors and attacks and improve profitability. The legal basis for this is Article 6 (1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interests). However, we will only use Google Analytics if you have given your consent.

 

If you would like to find out more about the tracking service, we recommend consulting the following links: https://marketingplatform.google.com/about/analytics/terms/de/

and https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245?hl=de.

 

Google Analytics (G4)

On our website, we use the analytics tracking tool called Google Analytics (G4) from the US-based company Google Inc. For Europe, the company responsible for all Google services is Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street Dublin 4, Ireland). Google Analytics collects data regarding your actions on our website. For example, if you click on a link, this action will be saved as a cookie and sent to Google Analytics. By using the reports that we obtain from Google Analytics, we are able to better adapt our website and services to your needs. Below, you will find more details regarding the tracking tool and information about what data is stored and how you can prevent this.

You can download and install the browser add-on from: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de. Please make sure that when using this add-on only Google Analytics data collection has been deactivated.

The use of Google Analytics requires your consent which we obtain using our cookie pop-up. This consent, in accordance with Article 6 (1)(a) GDPR (consent), provides the legal basis for the processing of personal data which may occur when collected by web analytics tools. In addition to consent, we have a legitimate interest in analysing the behaviour of website visitors. By using Google Analytics, we are able to identify website errors and attacks and improve profitability. The legal basis for this is Article 6 (1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interests). However, we will only use Google Analytics if you have given your consent.

Google processes your data in countries including the USA. This may pose various risks to the lawfulness and security of data processing. As the basis for data processing by recipients based in Third Counties (outside of the European Union, Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway and, therefore, including in the USA) or the communication of data to a Third Country, Google uses so-called standard contractual clauses (Article 46 (2) and (3) GDPR). Within the framework of these clauses, Google undertakes to comply with the European level of data protection when processing your data, even if the data is stored, processed and managed in the USA. 

 

If you would like to find out more about the tracking service, we recommend consulting the following links: https://marketingplatform.google.com/about/analytics/terms/de/ and

https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245?hl=de.

 

Google Analytics IP Anonymization

On our website, we have implemented the IP Anonymization from Google Analytics (G4). This function has been developed by Google so that this website can comply with the applicable data protection provisions and recommendations issued by the local data protection authorities in the event that these authorities prohibit the storing of full IP addresses. IP anonymization or masking is a default setting and cannot be set to visible or “unmasked”. Therefore, IP addresses are neither recorded nor stored.

You can find more information regarding IP anonymization here: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/2763052?hl=de.

 

Google Tag Manager

Google Tag Manager is a solution that enables us to manage so-called website tags via an interface (and thus, for example, integrate Google Analytics and other Google marketing services with our online provisions). The Tag Manager itself (which implements the tags) does not process any of the user’s personal data. With regard to the processing of users’ personal data, please consult the following information on Google services. Use Policy:  https://www.google.com/intl/de/tagmanager/use-policy.html.
