II. Data processing on our website

When using the website, we collect information that you provide yourself. In addition, certain information about your use of the website is automatically collected during your visit to the website. In data protection law, the IP address is generally also considered a personal date. An IP address is assigned to every device connected to the internet by the internet provider so that it can send and receive data.

1. Processing of server log files

In case of a purely informative use of our website, general information which is transmitted by your browser to our server is automatically (hence not via registration) stored. By default, this includes: type of browser/version, operating system used, accessed page, previously accessed page (referrer URL), IP address, date and time of the server query and HTTP status code.
The processing is necessary for the purposes of pursuing our legitimate interests and is based on the legal foundation of Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 f) GDPR. This processing serves the technical administration and security of our website. The stored data is deleted when there are no specific indications that prompt us to suspect, on reasonable grounds, any illegal activity which requires the further review and processing of the information for this reason. We will not be able to identify you as a data subject from the information we hold. Therefore Art. 15 to 22 GDPR do not apply pursuant to Art. 11 para. 2 GDPR, unless you provide additional information to enable identification in order to exercise the rights set out in these articles.

2. Contact form

Our website contains a contact form which you can use to send us messages. The transfer of your personal data in these messages is encrypted. All data fields designated as mandatory fields are required to process your request. Your request cannot be processed if you do not provide all the necessary information. The disclosure of other personal data is voluntary. Alternatively, you can send us a message via the contact email address.
The legal basis for the data processing is provided in Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 b) GDPR.

6. Cookies

We use cookies and similar technologies (“cookies”) on our website. Cookies are small sets of data that are stored by your browser when visiting a website. Through this your browser will be identified and can be recognized by webservers. You have full control over the use of cookies through your browser. You can delete the cookies in the security settings of your browser at any time. You can object to the use of cookies through your browser settings in general or for specific cases.

The use of cookies is partly technically necessary for the operation of our website and thus permissible without the consent of the user. In addition, we may use cookies to offer special features and content as well as for the purpose of analysis and marketing purposes. These may also include cookies from third party providers (so-called third-party cookies). We use such technically unnecessary cookies only with your consent pursuant to s. 25 (1) Telecommunications and Telemedia Data Protection Act (TTDSG) and, if applicable, Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR. You can find information about the purposes, providers, technologies used, data stored and the storage period of individual cookies in the cookie settings of our Consent Management Tool. You can access the Consent Management Tool again by going to “Cookie Settings” in the footer (baseboard) of the website.

7. Google AdWords Conversion Tracking

We use the online advertising programme Google AdWords by Google Ireland Limited, (Irland/EU) to run advertisements with Google. If you access our website via a Google advertisement, Google will set a cookie on your end device (“conversion cookie”). Each AdWords customer is assigned a different conversion cookie so that the cookies cannot be tracked via the websites of other AdWords customers. The information obtained through the cookie is used to compile conversion statistics. We use this to determine the total number of users who clicked one of our Google advertisements. However, we do not receive any information which can be used to personally identify the user.
Insofar as personal data is processed in this context, this is based on your consent as the legal basis (Art. 6 (1) a) GDPR). You have the right to withdraw your consent at any time with effect for the future by adjusting the settings on our Consent banner. You can open the Consent Management Tool by calling up “Cookie Settings” in the footer (baseboard) of the website. The withdrawal of your consent does not affect the lawfulness of the processing carried out on the basis of your consent until the withdrawal.

8. Google Analytics

With your consent, this website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service of Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Irland (“Google”), to analyse how you use this site. Google Analytics uses cookies to help analyse how users use our site. The information generated by the cookies about your use of this website is generally transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. Google will use this information on our behalf to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide us with other services relating to the use of our website and internet use. The processed data can furthermore be used to create pseudonymous user profiles.

We make use of Google Universal Analytics. This enables us to assign interaction data from different devices and from different sessions to a unique user ID. This enables us to contextualize individual user actions and analyze long-term relations.

Data on user actions is stored for a period of 14 months, after which it is automatically deleted. Deletion of data for which the storage period has expired automatically takes place once a month.

We only use Google Analytics with IP anonymization enabled, which means that Google will truncate the IP address of users within Member States of the European Union or in other signatory states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address sent to and truncated by Google servers in the United States. The IP address transmitted by your browser is not merged with other Google data.

We also use Google Analytics (remarketing) advertising features. This feature, combined with the multi-device features of Google AdWords and Google DoubleClick, allows us to display advertisements in a more targeted manner and present users with ads relevant to their specific interests. The remarketing function displays ads and products that have been found to be of interest to users on other websites in the Google network. This function allows us to link advertising target groups created via Google Analytics Remarketing with the multi-device functions of Google AdWords and Google DoubleClick. This way, interest-related, personalized advertising messages that have been adapted to you on the basis of your previous usage and surfing behavior on one terminal (e.g. mobile phone) can also be displayed on another of your terminals (e.g. Tablet or PC).

If you have given your consent, Google will link your web and app browser history to your Google Account for this purpose. This allows the same personalized advertising to be displayed on any device you sign in to with your Google Account. The aggregation of the data collected in your Google Account is based solely on your consent, which you may give to or withdraw from Google. (Art. 6 para. 1 letter a) GDPR).

Google Analytics collects data for advertising purposes for these linked services. To support the remarketing feature, Google Analytics collects Google-authenticated user IDs that are temporarily linked to our Google Analytics data. This is used to define and create target groups for multi-device advertising. Google cookies are used to collect additional access data for advertising purposes and identifiers.

The legal basis for the data processing in connection with the Google Analytics service by us is your consent (Art. 6 (1) a) GDPR). You have the right to withdraw your consent at any time with future effect by adjusting the settings on our Consent banner. You can open the Consent Management Tool by calling up “Cookie Settings” in the footer (baseboard) of the website. The withdrawal of your consent does not affect the lawfulness of the processing carried out on the basis of your consent until the withdrawal.

9. Google reCAPTCHA

We use the reCAPTCHA service of Google Ireland Limited (Ireland/EU) when registering for the corporate customer portal. For such integration, processing of your IP address is technically necessary so that the content can be sent to your browser. Therefore, your IP address is transmitted to Google Ireland. In addition, Google Ireland collects further data, e.g., about your browser and your click patterns. For security reasons, we use the service to check whether form entries are submitted by a natural person. Thus, automated access attempts and attacks can be detected and warded off. We are required by law to take technically and commercially reasonable measures to ensure the security of the portal. The legal basis is Art. 6 (1) lit. c GDPR in conjunction with Art. 32 GDPR and s. 19 (4) Telecommunications and Telemedia Data Protection Act (TTDSG).
