2. WHAT DO WE PROCESS YOUR DATA FOR AND ON WHAT LEGAL BASIS?

2.1 Server log files

When you use the website for informational purposes only, i.e. if you do not provide us with any other information, we collect the (possibly personal) data that your browser transmits to our server. If you would like to view our website, we will accordingly collect the following data:

• IP-Adress
• Date and time of the request
• Time zone difference to Greenwich Mean Time (GMT)
• Content of the request (specific page)
• Access status/HTTP status code
• Amount of data transferred in each case
• Website from which the request comes
• Browser
• The operating system
• Language and version of the browser software.

For security reasons, this data is stored in server log files for a few days and then deleted. If data needs to be kept for evidentiary reasons, it will not be deleted until the incident has been finally clarified.

The legal basis for the data processing described is Article 6 Paragraph 1 Sentence 1 Letter f GDPR. We have a legitimate interest in processing the server log files to ensure the security of the website and to investigate cases of misuse.

2.2 Cookies

In addition to the data mentioned above, cookies are stored on your computer when you use our website. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your hard drive associated with the browser you are using and through which certain information flows to the place that sets the cookie.

Our website uses so-called session cookies. These store a so-called session ID, with which various requests from your browser can be assigned to the shared session. This allows your computer to be recognized when you return to our website. The session cookies are deleted when you log out or close the browser. You can configure your browser settings according to your wishes and e.g. B. refuse to accept all cookies. We would like to point out that in this case you may not be able to use all of the functions of this website.

The legal basis for the data processing described is Article 6 Paragraph 1 Sentence 1 Letter f GDPR. We have a legitimate interest in storing the cookies mentioned to ensure that the services are technically error-free and user-friendly. Some of the services listed below also use their own (third-party) cookies. The legal basis for these cookies follows the legal basis for the data processing described there.

2.3 Contact via email or contact form and applications

When you contact us via email or contact form, we will store the data you provide (your email address, if applicable your name and telephone number, the content of your message) in order to answer your questions. We delete the data arising in this context after storage is no longer necessary or restrict processing if there are statutory retention requirements.

The legal basis for this data processing is Article 6 Paragraph 1 Sentence 1 Letter b GDPR, as far as it concerns the initiation of a contractual relationship and our legitimate interest in answering your request in accordance with Article 6 Paragraph 1 Clause 1 Letter f GDPR, as far as other inquiries are concerned.

When you contact us via email and/or contact form, your data will be transmitted to servers in the EU. For the USA, there is no general adequacy decision from the European Commission that certifies that the USA has an adequate level of data protection. By transmitting your personal data, there is a risk, for example, that US authorities will access it and further process it for their own purposes. The appropriate guarantees for data transfer to the USA are achieved by concluding so-called EU standard contractual clauses in accordance with Article 46 (2) (c) GDPR, each of which has been supplemented by additional measures.

2.4 Embedded videos (YouTube, Vimeo)

We use videos on our website. These videos are not stored on our own servers, but are uploaded to third-party providers and only embedded on our website. This embedding of the videos results in calls to the servers of these third-party providers. Specifically, these are YouTube LLC, 901 Cherry Avenue, 94066 San Bruno, CA, USA and Vimeo Inc., 555 West 18th Street, New York 10011, USA (hereinafter “YouTube” and “Vimeo” or together “ video provider”). We use the video providers in an extended data protection mode, which means that a connection between your browser and the video provider is only established when you start the video and click on the corresponding button. 

We do not process your data. The respective video provider is responsible for data processing. Further information on this processing of your data by YouTube can be found at https://www.youtube.com/t/privacy_at_youtube and via Vimeo at https://vimeo.com/privacy  

2.5 Cookie-Banner

To obtain your consent to cookies and similar technologies, we use the consent management tool from [PROVIDER, IF EXTERNAL] (“cookie banner”). The cookie banner determines which cookies are used by our website and whether you have given or withdrawn your consent to the use of these cookies. This allows us to prevent cookies and similar technologies from being used on you if you have not given your consent. The cookie set by the cookie banner that stores your preferences has a lifespan of one year.

The legal basis for this data processing is Article 6 Paragraph 1 Sentence 1 Letter f of the GDPR, as we have a legitimate interest in being able to comply with the legal requirements of the GDPR and the ePrivacy Directive through technical measures.

2.6 LinkedIn Insight Tag

We use LinkedIn Insight Tag from LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company, Wilton Place, Dublin 2, Ireland (hereinafter “LinkedIn Tag”) to enable detailed campaign reports and to obtain information about visitors to our website in order to track conversions and/or retarget our website website visitors. 

This LinkedIn tag collects the following data: page views on our website, including URL, referrer URL, IP address, device and browser characteristics (user agent) and timestamp. The IP addresses are shortened or (if used to reach members across devices) hashed. Members’ direct identifiers will be removed within seven days to pseudonymize the data. This remaining pseudonymized data will then be deleted within 90 days. This data will be encrypted, anonymized within seven days and the anonymized data will be deleted within 90 days.

The data is also transmitted through LinkedIn Tag to countries outside the European Union and the European Economic Area (so-called third countries). For some of these third countries, in particular the United States of America (hereinafter “USA”), the European Commission has not determined an adequate level of data protection. These third countries therefore do not offer data protection law comparable to that of the European Union. The appropriate guarantees for data transfer to third countries are achieved by concluding so-called EU standard contractual clauses in accordance with Article 46 (2) (c) GDPR, each of which has been supplemented by additional measures.

LinkedIn Tag does not share any personal information with us, but only provides reports and notifications (which do not identify you) about website audience and ad performance. We therefore have no access to the above-mentioned data about you.

Further information on data protection with the LinkedIn tag can be found in the LinkedIn data protection information at https://www.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy remove.

The legal basis for this data processing is your consent in accordance with Article 6 (1) (a) GDPR.

3. Who gets your data?

Within our company, only those departments have access to your personal data that absolutely need it to fulfill the purposes mentioned above. The aforementioned data may also be processed by processors who operate or maintain our website and systems.
