Overview and explanation of the legal basis
In the following section, we would like to inform you about the legal basis of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), on the basis of which we process personal data. In addition to the regulations of the GDPR, national regulations of the country of residence or domicile of the respective user may apply.

Legitimate interests (Art. 6 [1] Sentence 1 lit. f GDPR): processing is deemed necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by the data controller or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject, which require protection of personal data.
Contract fulfilment and pre-contractual enquiries (Art. 6 [1] Sentence 1 lit. b. GDPR): processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party, or in order to take steps at the request of the data subject prior to entering into a contract.
Legal obligation (Art. 6 [1] Sentence 1 lit. c. GDPR): processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which the data controller is subject.
Protection of vital interests (Art. 6 [1] Sentence 1 lit. d. GDPR): processing is necessary, in order to protect the vital interests of the data subject or of another natural person.
Application procedure as a pre-contractual or contractual relationship (Art. 9 [1] Sentence 1 lit. b GDPR): (to the extent that special categories of personal data within the meaning of Art. 9 [1] GDPR [e.g. health data – such as severely disabled status or ethnic origin] are requested from applicants as part of the application procedure, in order that the data controller or the data subject can exercise the rights arising from employment law, as well as laws within the scope of social welfare and social protection, and fulfil their obligations in this regard, the respective processing shall be carried out in accordance with Art. 9 [2] lit. b. GDPR; in cases pertaining to the protection of vital interests of applicants or other persons pursuant to Art. 9 [2] lit. c. GDPR or for the purposes of preventive healthcare or occupational medicine, for the assessment of the employee’s fitness for work, for medical diagnosis, care or treatment in the health or social sector or for the management of systems and services in the health or social sector pursuant to Art. 9 [2] lit. h. GDPR. In cases involving the communication of special categories of data based on voluntary consent, their processing shall be performed on the basis of Art. 9 [2] lit. a. GDPR).
Data processing for the purposes of the employment relationship (Section 26 Federal Data Protection Act [BDSG]): we process (special) types of personal data in the employment relationship on the basis of the statutory provisions for the purpose of establishing, implementing and terminating the employment relationship.
Consent (if requested) (Art. 6 [1] Sentence 1 lit. a GDPR): the data subject has issued their consent to the processing of their personal data for one or more specific purposes.
Processing for the performance of a task performed in the public interest (Art. 6 [1] lit. e GDPR): to the extent that processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest, or in the exercising of official authority vested in the data controller.
Storage of information in the end user’s terminal equipment with the end user’s consent (Section 25 [1] Sentence 1 Telecommunications Digital Services Data Protection Act [TDDDG]): we use storage areas of our users’ terminal equipment for certain functions with their express and informed consent.
Storage of information in the end user’s terminal equipment due to necessity (Section 25 [2] No. 2 Telecommunications Digital Services Data Protection Act [TDDDG]): unless we have asked you for permission when you visit our website or use individual functions, we use the memory of your terminal equipment for the technical presentation and delivery of our telemedia service – if this is absolutely necessary from a technical standpoint.

Security measures
We take appropriate technical and organisational measures in accordance with prevailing legal requirements, taking into account the latest technological standards, the implementation costs and the nature, scope, circumstances and purposes of the respective processing operation, as well as the different probabilities of occurrence and the extent of the threat to the rights and freedoms of natural persons, in order to ensure a level of protection appropriate to the risk; Art. 32 GDPR. The security measures we have taken include the following, in particular.

Secure Sockets Layer | Transport Layer Security (SSL): we use SSL / TLS for the encrypted transmission of data between the end devices of our visitors and our server. This significantly reduces the risk of unauthorised access to the transmitted data.

Transfer and disclosure of personal data to third parties
As part of our processing operations involving personal data, said data may be transferred to other bodies, companies, legally independent organisational units or persons or data may be disclosed to them. The recipients of this data may include, in particular:

IT service providers: this includes service providers for the provision of hosting, mail services and server technology
Payment service providers: service providers who co-operate with us to process payments.
Shipping service providers: service providers who handle logistical tasks for us. These include parcel service providers, in particular.
Public authorities: public authorities with which we exchange data, in order to fulfil a contract or for legal reasons.
In such a case, we ensure the protection of personal data by concluding contracts or agreements with the respective third parties that serve to adequately protect the data. We carefully and conscientiously select third parties to whom we disclose data. To the extent that we use third-party providers or platforms to provide our services, the terms and conditions and data protection notices of the respective third-party providers or platforms apply in the relationship between the users and the providers.

Data processing in third countries
If we process data in a third country, i.e. a country outside the European Union or the European Economic Area, or if the processing is performed by third parties outside this area, this processing is only carried out in accordance with the applicable legal provisions. Subject to the express consent of the data subjects or legally required transfers, we only process or have data processed in third countries with an appropriate level of protection. This includes, in particular, countries that process data on the basis of special guarantees – such as contractual obligations through so-called standard protection clauses established by the EU Commission, the existence of certifications or binding internal data protection regulations (Art. 44 to 49 GDPR).

General information on the deletion of data
The data processed by us shall be deleted in accordance with prevailing legal requirements as soon as the consent to its processing has been revoked or other authorisations (e.g. legitimate interests, legal obligations, etc.) no longer apply. Should the data not be deleted because it is required for other and legally permissible purposes, its processing shall be limited to these purposes. This means that the data shall be blocked and not processed for other purposes. This shall apply, for example, to data that must be stored for reasons of commercial or tax law, or whose storage is necessary for the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural person or legal entity. Further information on the deletion of personal data can be found under the individual points of this Privacy Policy.

LinkedIn Corp.
LinkedIn Marketing

Subsequent to approval

Information and description
LinkedIn Marketing is a (re)marketing network that delivers targeted advertising via the social network bearing the same name.

Function
Marketing
We process personal data for online marketing purposes. This includes, in particular, the presentation of advertising content that corresponds to the potential interests of the user.

We use the “Google Ads” advertising network for this purpose. To this end, so-called user profiles are created and assigned to the user’s end device by means of a cookie (see above).

These cookies can later be read and analysed on websites that use the same marketing provider.

In particular, data – such as websites visited, content viewed and online networks used – may be used for profiling purposes. However, it is also possible to record communication partners and – if the user allows this – the user’s location.

The user’s IP addresses are also stored, whereby IP masking is applied.

Processed data: usage data, metadata, geodata

Data subjects: users

Legal basis for processing: consent (where requested)

External platforms
Social media

In order to be able to communicate effectively with our (potential) customers and other interested parties, and to offer them an obvious point of contact and information, we maintain a presence on a number of social media platforms. We would like to draw your attention to the fact that when using social media, data may be processed outside the European Union, which may result in risks for the user with regard to the enforcement of their rights.

Social media platforms regularly analyse the behaviour of their users for marketing purposes. In doing so, they create extensive profiles concerning the interests and usage behaviour of their users, in order to display personalised advertising. By setting cookies and integrating them on third-party sites, information can also be collected that goes beyond the direct use of the social network.
In particular, information may also be collected about the end device used, the Internet connection (IP address) and, if applicable, the user’s location.

We would like to point out that only the providers of these networks have access to the data collected about the user; a request for information should, therefore, be addressed to them to ensure maximum efficacy. Details and further data protection information on the social networks used can be found below.

Facebook
We have a presence on the social network, Facebook.

We would like to point out that you use this Facebook page and its functions within the scope of your own responsibility. This shall apply, in particular, to the use of interactive functions (e.g. commenting, sharing, rating). Alternatively, you can also access the information provided on this page on our website.

When you visit our Facebook page, Facebook collects – among other things –
your IP address and other information that is stored on your PC in the form of cookies.
This information is used to provide us, as the operator of the Facebook pages, with
statistical information about the use of the Facebook page. Facebook provides more information on this at the following URL:
http://https://facebook.com/legal/terms/page_controller_addendum

The data collected about you in this context is processed by Facebook Ltd., and may be transferred to countries outside the European Union. As to what information Facebook receives and how it is used is described by Facebook in general terms in its data usage guidelines. There, you will also find information on how to contact Facebook and the settings options for adverts. The data usage guidelines are available at the following URL:
http://facebook.com/about/privacy
You can find Facebook’s complete data policy here:
https://facebook.com/privacy/policy/

The data collected about you in this context is processed by Facebook Ltd. and may be transferred to countries outside the European Union.

If you visit one of our social media sites (e.g. Facebook), you trigger the processing of your personal data during such a visit.

In such a case, we shall be jointly responsible with the operator of the respective social network for the data processing operations within the meaning of Art. 26 GDPR, provided that we actually make a joint decision with the operator of the social network regarding the data processing, and we also have an influence on the data processing itself.

Wherever possible, we have concluded agreements with the operators of the social networks on joint responsibility in accordance with Art. 26 GDPR, in particular, the so-called “Page Controller Addendums” of Facebook Ireland Ltd.

You may assert your rights (right of disclosure pursuant to Art. 15 GDPR, right to rectification pursuant to Art. 16 GDPR, right to deletion pursuant to Art. 17 GDPR, right to the restriction of processing pursuant to Art. 18 GDPR, right to data portability pursuant to Art. 20 GDPR and right to lodge a complaint pursuant to Art. 77 GDPR) both against us and against the operator of the respective social network (e.g. Facebook).

Please note that, despite our joint responsibility with the operators of social networks in accordance with Art. 26 GDPR, we do not enjoy comprehensive influence on the data processing of the individual social networks. The company policy of the respective provider has a significant influence on the options at our disposal.

In the event of the assertion of data subject rights, we could only forward these requests to the operator of the social network.

Facebook does not conclusively (and clearly) state how it uses the data from visits to Facebook pages for its own purposes, to what extent activities on the Facebook page are assigned to individual users, how long Facebook stores this data and whether data from a visit to the Facebook page is passed on to third parties, and we are not aware of this.

When you access a Facebook page, the IP address assigned to your end device is transmitted to Facebook. According to Facebook, this IP address is anonymised (for “German” IP addresses) and deleted after 90 days. Facebook also stores information about the end devices of its users (for example, as part of the “login notification” function); Facebook may thus be able to assign IP addresses to individual users.

If you are currently logged in to Facebook as a user, a cookie with your Facebook ID is stored on your end device. This may enable Facebook to understand that you have visited this page and how you have used it (e.g. through a referrer header).

If you want to prevent Facebook from drawing these conclusions or wish to prevent Facebook from assigning the visit to our Facebook presence to your profile, you can use a private window of your browser, for example, as no cookies are set in this window.

As the provider of the information service, we do not collect or process any other data from your use of our service. You can find the current version of this Privacy Policy under “Data Policy” on our Facebook page.

Instagram
We operate a page on the social network, Instagram.
We would like to point out that you use this Instagram page and its functions within the scope of your own responsibility. This applies, in particular, to the use of interactive functions (e.g. commenting or rating).
When you visit our Instagram page, Instagram collects, among other things, your IP address and other information that is stored on your PC in the form of cookies.
This information is used to provide us, as the operator of the Instagram pages, with statistical information about the use of the Instagram page. The data collected about you in this context will be processed by Instagram Inc., and may be transferred to countries outside the European Union.
As to what information Instagram receives and how it is used is described in general terms in Instagram’s privacy policy. There, you will also find information about contact options for Instagram and other options for making settings regarding the display of targeted advertising.

Instagram does not conclusively (and clearly) state how Instagram uses the data from visits to Instagram pages for its own purposes, to what extent activities on the Instagram page are assigned to individual users, how long Instagram stores this data and whether data from a visit to the Instagram page is passed on to third parties, and we are not aware of this.
When you access an Instagram page, the IP address assigned to your device is transmitted to Instagram. According to Instagram, this IP address is anonymised – after processing – (for “German” IP addresses) and deleted after 90 days.
Instagram also stores information about the end devices of its users (for example, as part of the “login notification” function); Instagram may thus be able to assign IP addresses to individual users. If you are currently logged in to Instagram as a user, a cookie with your Instagram ID is stored on your end device. This enables Instagram to understand that you have visited this page and how you have used it. This also applies to all other Instagram pages.
Instagram may also be able to assign the visit to our website to your profile, for example, by reading the so-called “referrer header”. If you wish to avoid this, you must adjust the cookie settings of your browser or delete the corresponding cookies of the provider. Alternatively, you can increase protection against tracking by using a private window in your browser.
As the provider of the information service, we do not collect or process any other data from your use of our service.You can find the current version of this privacy policy under “Data policy” on the respective Instagram page.
