According to Article 4(1) of Regulation (EU) 2016/679, the General Data Protection Regulation (hereinafter referred to as “GDPR”), “processing” means any operation or set of operations which is performed on personal data or on sets of personal data, whether or not by automated means, such as collection, recording, organisation, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, comparison or linking, restriction, erasure or destruction.

II. Rights of users and data subjects

With regard to the data processing described in more detail below, users and data subjects have the right

  • to confirmation as to whether data concerning them is being processed, to information about the data being processed, to further information about the data processing and to copies of the data (see also Art. 15 GDPR);
  • to rectification or completion of incorrect or incomplete data (see also Art. 16 GDPR);
  • to the immediate erasure of data concerning them (see also Art. 17 GDPR), or, alternatively, if further processing is necessary pursuant to Art. 17 Para. 3 GDPR, to the restriction of processing in accordance with Art. 18 GDPR;
  • to receive the data concerning them and provided by them and to transmit this data to other providers/controllers (see also Art. 20 GDPR);
  • to lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority if they are of the opinion that the data concerning them is being processed by the provider in violation of data protection regulations (see also Art. 77 GDPR).

Furthermore, the provider is obliged to inform all recipients to whom data has been disclosed by the provider of any rectification or erasure of data or restriction of processing carried out pursuant to Articles 16, 17 (1) and 18 of the GDPR. However, this obligation does not apply if this notification is impossible or involves disproportionate expenditure. Notwithstanding this, the user has a right to information about these recipients.

Likewise, according to Art. 21 GDPR, users and data subjects have the right to object to the future processing of data concerning them, provided that the data is processed by the provider in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. In particular, an objection to data processing for the purposes of direct advertising is permissible.

III. Information on data processing

Your data processed when using our website will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of storage no longer applies, there are no statutory retention periods that prevent the deletion of the data and no other information is provided below regarding individual processing procedures.

server data

For technical reasons, in particular to ensure a secure and stable Internet presence, data is transmitted to us or to our web space provider through your Internet browser. These so-called server log files collect, among other things, the type and version of your Internet browser, the operating system, the website from which you accessed our Internet presence (referrer URL), the website(s) of our Internet presence that you visit, the date and time of each access, and the IP address of the Internet connection from which you access our Internet presence.

The data collected in this way will be stored temporarily, but not together with other data about you.

This storage is carried out on the legal basis of Art. 6 Paragraph 1 Letter f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in the improvement, stability, functionality and security of our website.

The data will be deleted after seven days at the latest, unless further storage is required for evidentiary purposes. Otherwise, the data will be wholly or partially exempt from deletion until the incident has been finally resolved.

cookies

a) Session cookies

We use so-called cookies on our website. Cookies are small text files or other storage technologies that are stored on your device by the Internet browser you use. These cookies process certain information about you on an individual basis, such as your browser or location data or your IP address.  

This processing makes our website more user-friendly, effective and secure, as the processing enables, for example, the reproduction of our website in different languages or the offer of a shopping cart function.

The legal basis for this processing is Art. 6 (1) lit b.) GDPR, provided that these cookies process data for the purpose of initiating or executing a contract.

If the processing does not serve to initiate or execute a contract, our legitimate interest lies in improving the functionality of our website. The legal basis is then Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f) GDPR.

When you close your Internet browser, these session cookies are deleted.

b) Third-party cookies

Our website may also use cookies from partner companies with whom we work for the purposes of advertising, analysis or the functionality of our website.

For details, in particular the purposes and legal basis for processing such third-party cookies, please see the information below.

c) Possibility of removal

You can prevent or restrict the installation of cookies by adjusting the settings on your Internet browser. You can also delete cookies that have already been saved at any time. The steps and measures required to do this depend on the specific Internet browser you are using. If you have any questions, please use the help function or documentation for your Internet browser, or contact the manufacturer or support. However, in the case of so-called Flash cookies, processing cannot be prevented via the browser settings. Instead, you must change the settings on your Flash player. The steps and measures required to do this also depend on the specific Flash player you are using. If you have any questions, please use the help function or documentation for your Flash player, or contact the manufacturer or user support.

However, if you prevent or restrict the installation of cookies, this may mean that not all functions of our website are fully usable.

contract execution

The data you provide to use our range of goods and/or services will be processed by us for the purpose of contract execution and are necessary for this purpose. Contract conclusion and contract execution are not possible without the provision of your data.

The legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b) GDPR.

We delete the data once the contract has been fully processed, but we must observe the retention periods under tax and commercial law.

As part of the contract processing, we will pass on your data to the transport company commissioned to deliver the goods or to the financial service provider, insofar as the transfer is necessary for the delivery of the goods or for payment purposes.

The legal basis for the transfer of data is then Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b) GDPR.

newsletter

If you register for our free newsletter, the data requested from you, i.e. your email address and - optionally - your name and address, will be sent to us. At the same time, we save the IP address of the internet connection from which you access our website as well as the date and time of your registration. As part of the further registration process, we will obtain your consent to send the newsletter, describe the content in detail and refer you to this data protection declaration. We use the data collected in this process exclusively for sending the newsletter - it is therefore not passed on to third parties.

The legal basis for this is Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a) GDPR.

You can revoke your consent to receive the newsletter at any time with future effect in accordance with Art. 7 Paragraph 3 GDPR. To do so, you simply need to inform us of your revocation or click on the unsubscribe link included in each newsletter.

contact requests / contact options

If you contact us via the contact form or email, the data you provide will be used to process your request. Providing the data is necessary to process and answer your request - without providing it, we cannot answer your request or can only answer it to a limited extent.

The legal basis for this processing is Art. 6 (1) lit. b) GDPR.

Your data will be deleted if your request has been conclusively answered and there are no statutory retention periods that prevent deletion, such as in the case of any subsequent contract processing.

Online job applications / publication of job advertisements

We offer you the opportunity to apply to us via our website. With these digital applications, your applicant and application data will be collected and processed electronically by us to handle the application process.

The legal basis for this processing is Section 26 Paragraph 1 Sentence 1 BDSG in conjunction with Article 88 Paragraph 1 GDPR.

If an employment contract is concluded after the application process, we will store the data you submitted during the application process in your personnel file for the purposes of the usual organizational and administrative process – of course in compliance with any further legal obligations.

The legal basis for this processing is also Section 26 Paragraph 1 Sentence 1 BDSG in conjunction with Article 88 Paragraph 1 GDPR.

If an application is rejected, we automatically delete the data sent to us two months after notification of the rejection. However, the data will not be deleted if the data requires longer storage of up to four months or until the conclusion of legal proceedings due to legal provisions, e.g. due to the burden of proof under the General Equal Treatment Act (AGG).

The legal basis in this case is Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f) GDPR and Section 24 Para. 1 No. 2 BDSG. Our legitimate interest lies in legal defense and enforcement.

If you expressly consent to your data being stored for a longer period, e.g. for your inclusion in an applicant or prospective customer database, the data will be further processed based on your consent. The legal basis is then Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a) GDPR. However, you can of course revoke your consent at any time in accordance with Art. 7 Para. 3 GDPR by notifying us with effect for the future.

LinkedIn

We maintain an online presence on LinkedIn to present our company and our services and to communicate with customers/prospects. LinkedIn is a service of LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company, Wilton Plaza, Wilton Place, Dublin 2, Ireland, a subsidiary of LinkedIn Corporation, 1000 W. Maude Avenue, Sunnyvale, CA 94085, USA.

In this respect, we would like to point out that it is possible that user data may be processed outside the European Union, in particular in the USA. This may result in increased risks for users, for example, as subsequent access to user data may be made more difficult. We also have no access to this user data. Access is only possible with LinkedIn. LinkedIn Corporation is certified under the Privacy Shield and is therefore committed to complying with European data protection standards.

Facebook

To promote our products and services and to communicate with interested parties or customers, we maintain a company presence on the Facebook platform.

On this social media platform, we are jointly responsible with Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2 Ireland.

Facebook’s data protection officer can be reached via a contact form:

https://www.facebook.com/help/contact/540977946302970

We have regulated the joint responsibility in an agreement regarding the respective obligations within the meaning of the GDPR. This agreement, from which the mutual obligations arise, can be accessed under the following link:

https://www.facebook.com/legal/terms/page_controller_addendum

The legal basis for the resulting and subsequently reproduced processing of personal data is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in the analysis, communication, sale and promotion of our products and services.

The legal basis can also be the user's consent to the platform operator in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR. The user can revoke this consent for the future at any time by notifying the platform operator in accordance with Art. 7 (3) GDPR.

When you access our online presence on the Facebook platform, Facebook Ireland Ltd., as the operator of the platform in the EU, processes user data (e.g. personal information, IP address, etc.).

This user data is used to provide statistical information about the use of our company presence on Facebook. Facebook Ireland Ltd. uses this data for market research and advertising purposes as well as to create user profiles. Based on these profiles, Facebook Ireland Ltd. is able, for example, to advertise to users within and outside of Facebook based on their interests. If the user is logged into their Facebook account at the time of the visit, Facebook Ireland Ltd. can also link the data to the respective user account.

If the user contacts us via Facebook, the personal data entered by the user on this occasion will be used to process the request. The user's data will be deleted by us if the user's request has been answered conclusively and there are no statutory retention periods, such as in the case of subsequent contract processing, that prevent this.

Facebook Ireland Ltd. may also set cookies to process the data.

If the user does not agree to this processing, it is possible to prevent the installation of cookies by setting the browser accordingly. Cookies that have already been saved can also be deleted at any time. The settings for this depend on the respective browser. In the case of Flash cookies, processing cannot be prevented via the browser settings, but by setting the Flash player accordingly. If the user prevents or restricts the installation of cookies, this may mean that not all Facebook functions can be used to their full extent.

Further information on the processing activities, their prevention and the deletion of data processed by Facebook can be found in Facebook's data policy:

https://www.facebook.com/privacy/explanation

It cannot be ruled out that processing by Facebook Ireland Ltd. may also be carried out by Facebook Inc., 1601 Willow Road, Menlo Park, California 94025 in the USA.

Facebook Inc. has submitted to the “EU-US Privacy Shield” and thereby declares that it will comply with EU data protection regulations when processing data in the USA.

https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt0000000GnywAAC&status=Active

Social media linking via graphic or text link

We also advertise presences on the social networks listed below on our website. The integration is done via a linked graphic of the respective network. The use of this linked graphic prevents a connection to the respective server of the social network from being automatically established when a website that has a social media advertisement is accessed in order to display a graphic of the respective network itself. Only by clicking on the corresponding graphic is the user redirected to the service of the respective social network.

After the user has been redirected, information about the user is collected by the respective network. It cannot be ruled out that the data collected in this way will be processed in the USA.

This is initially data such as IP address, date, time and page visited. If the user is logged into their user account on the respective network, the network operator may be able to assign the information collected from the user's specific visit to the user's personal account. If the user interacts via a "Share" button on the respective network, this information may be saved in the user's personal user account and may be published. If the user wants to prevent the collected information from being directly assigned to their user account, they must log out before clicking on the graphic. It is also possible to configure the respective user account accordingly.

The following social networks are integrated into our site by links:

Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics on our website. This is a web analysis service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, hereinafter referred to as “Google”.

Through certification under the EU-US Privacy Shield

https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt000000001L5AAI&status=Active

Google guarantees that EU data protection regulations will also be adhered to when processing data in the USA.

The Google Analytics service is used to analyze the usage behavior of our website. The legal basis is Art. 6 Paragraph 1 Letter f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in the analysis, optimization and economic operation of our website.

Usage and user-related information, such as IP address, location, time or frequency of visits to our website, are transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. However, we use Google Analytics with the so-called anonymization function. This function allows Google to shorten the IP address within the EU or EEA.

The data collected in this way is then used by Google to provide us with an evaluation of visits to our website and the usage activities there. This data can also be used to provide other services related to the use of our website and the use of the Internet.

Google states that it will not associate your IP address with other data. Google also maintains

https://www.google.com/intl/de/policies/privacy/partners

We have further information on data protection available for you, including options for preventing the use of your data.

Google also offers

https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de

a so-called deactivation add-on along with further information on this. This add-on can be installed with the common Internet browsers and offers you further control over the data that Google records when you visit our website. The add-on tells the Google Analytics JavaScript (ga.js) that information about visits to our website should not be sent to Google Analytics. However, this does not prevent information from being sent to us or to other web analysis services. Of course, you can also find out whether and which other web analysis services we use in this privacy policy.

Google Fonts

We use Google Fonts to display external fonts on our website. This is a service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, hereinafter referred to as “Google”.

Through certification under the EU-US Privacy Shield

https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt000000001L5AAI&status=Active

Google guarantees that EU data protection regulations will also be adhered to when processing data in the USA.

In order to enable the display of certain fonts on our website, a connection to the Google server in the USA is established when you visit our website.

The legal basis is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in the optimization and economic operation of our website.

Through the connection to Google established when you visit our website, Google can determine from which website your request was sent and to which IP address the font display should be transmitted.
