As a matter of principle, we only process personal data insofar as this is necessary to provide a functional website, our content and services. The processing of personal data of our users is regularly only carried out after their consent. An exception applies to those cases in which obtaining prior consent is not possible based on matters of law or fact.
If we obtain the consent of the data subject for processing involving personal data, Article 6 (1) point (a) GDPR serves as the legal basis. When processing personal data that is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, Article 6 (1) point (b) GDPR serves as the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations that are necessary for the performance of pre-contractual measures. If processing of personal data is necessary to comply with a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Article 6 (1) point (c) GDPR serves as the legal basis. In the event that vital interests of the data subject or another natural person make it necessary to process personal data, Article 6 (1) point (d) GDPR serves as the legal basis. If processing personal data is necessary for the purpose of a legitimate interest of our company or a third party and if these interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not outweigh the first-mentioned interest, Article 6 (1) point (f) GDPR serves as the legal basis for the processing.
Your personal data will only be passed on to third parties in the manner described in this data protection policy. In this context, third parties are public bodies in the event of overriding legal provisions, external service providers or other contractors, insofar as the data subject has given his or her consent or a transfer is permissible for reasons of overriding interest. We may transfer your personal data to companies that support us with providing services in the course of our business ("processors"). These companies are authorised to use your personal data only to the extent necessary for that purpose. We always carefully select and monitor the processors we commission. You will be informed in detail about the respective processes below.
We delete or block personal data of our users as soon as the purpose of the storage no longer applies. Storage beyond this may take place if this is provided for by the European or national legislator in Union regulations, laws or other provisions to which our company is subject to. Data will also be blocked or deleted if a storage period prescribed by the aforementioned standards expires, unless there is a need to continue storing the data for the conclusion or fulfilment of a contract. The duration of data storage is based on the statutory retention obligations and is limited to a maximum of 10 years.
Within the scope of contract implementation with service providers, processors outside the European Union (EU) or the European Economic Area (EEA) may also be used. Processors from a third-country are obliged to comply with the GDPR. If our service providers or partners are based in such a third-country, we will inform you about this circumstance in the description of the implemented technologies below.
When you visit our website, you transmit technically necessary data to our web server via your internet browser. This general data and information is stored in server log files. The following data is recorded during an ongoing connection for communication between your internet browser and our web server:
We collect this data for reasons of technical security and optimisation, in particular to prevent attempted attacks on our web server, to ensure that our website is displayed correctly and to enable us to determine the cause of any technical problems. It is neither possible nor desirable for us to draw conclusions about individual persons on the basis of this data. The data is anonymised by shortening the IP address at domain level, making it impossible to relate it to individual users. The data is processed in anonymised form for statistical purposes; this data is not compared with other data or passed on to third parties, even in extracts.
For these purposes, the data processing is based on Article 6 (1) point (f) GDPR.
Personal data is deleted as soon as the purpose of it ceases to exist.
We or one of our affiliated companies carry out marketing activities on behalf of our clients and we might use online registration forms for this purpose.
In connection with B2B marketing activities, in particular identification data (e.g. first name, surname), contact data (e.g. business email address, business telephone number), communication data (e.g. open and click rates of emails, content of telephone conversations) and business-related information (e.g. job title, company, company address, information about the company and its needs) are processed.
The purpose of processing the data is to carry out business-to-business (B2B) telemarketing activities, to send B2B marketing emails to promote products, services, events, etc. for our clients in order to generate leads and acquire clients and to improve our services in this context.
Legal basis for the processing of this data is primarily consent within the meaning of § 7 para. 2 no. 2 UWG in conjunction with Article 6 (1) point (a) GDPR insofar as we and/or our clients have expressly given consent to be contacted. When contacting individuals by telephone as part of B2B marketing, we may, if necessary, rely on our legitimate interest and presumed consent, Article 6 (1) point (f) GDPR, § 7 para. 2 no. 1 Alt. 2 UWG. We carefully assess the balance between our interests and the rights and freedoms of the data subjects. We process this business contact data to promote and improve the products and services of our clients and therefore also our own. One can object to this processing at any time.
This personal data may be passed on to our affiliated companies, our clients for whom we carry out marketing activities, service providers and processors acting on our behalf (e.g. IT service providers). Personal data will only be transferred to third countries if this is necessary to fulfill our contractual obligations, if consent has been given or if there is a legal obligation to do so.
The personal data concerned will be stored for as long as is necessary to fulfill the stated purposes or for as long as required by statutory retention periods.
When contacting us by email or via our contact form, the data only provided by you will be stored by us. When using the form, the content of the data fields is transmitted to us, usually the following data: Name, first name, company and email address. Without this data, your request transmitted via the contact form cannot be processed. Additional personal data is only processed if you provide it voluntarily. This includes, for example, address, data within the framework of the contractual relationship (e.g. position and department in the company/an authority, superior, order data, payment data) and other data comparable with these categories. In addition, the system collects the IP address of the requesting computer as well as the date and time of the contact.
We use the data from the contact form to be able to respond to your enquiry. In the case of contacting us by email, this constitutes the necessary legitimate interest in processing the data. Any other personal data processed during the submission process is used to prevent misuse of the contact form and to ensure the security of our information technology systems.
When using the contact form and if the user has given their consent the legal basis for the processing of their data is Article 6 (1) point (a) GDPR. The legal basis for processing the data transmitted in sending an email is Article 6 (1) point (f) GDPR. If the email is intended for the conclusion of a contract, the legal basis for this processing is Article 6 (1) point (b) GDPR.
We delete the data processed in this context, if the request is assigned to a contract, after the time limits for the term of the contract, otherwise after the storage is no longer necessary, or restrict the processing if there are statutory retention obligations.
