Relevant legal bases

In accordance with Art. 13 DSGVO, we inform you of the legal basis of our data processing. For users from the area of application of the basic data protection regulation (DSGVO), i.e. the EU and the EEC, the following applies unless the legal basis is stated in the data protection declaration:
The legal basis for obtaining consent is Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a and Art. 7 DSGVO;
The legal basis for processing for the purpose of fulfilling our services and implementing contractual measures and answering enquiries is Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b DSGVO;
The legal basis for processing for the purpose of fulfilling our legal obligations is Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. c DSGVO;
In the event that vital interests of the data subject or of another natural person require the processing of personal data, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. d DSGVO serves as the legal basis.
The legal basis for the processing necessary to perform a task which is in the public interest or is carried out in the exercise of official authority delegated to the controller is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. e DSGVO.

The processing of special categories of data (in accordance with Art. 9 para. 1 FADP) is governed by the provisions of Art. 9 para. 2 FADP.

Security measures

We take appropriate technical and organizational measures in accordance with the legal requirements, taking into account the state of the art, the implementation costs and the nature, scope, circumstances and purposes of the processing, as well as the varying probability of occurrence and severity of the risk to the rights and freedoms of natural persons, in order to ensure a level of protection appropriate to the risk.

The measures include in particular the safeguarding of the confidentiality, integrity and availability of data by controlling the physical access to the data, as well as the access, entry, forwarding, safeguarding of availability and its separation. Furthermore, we have established procedures to ensure that the rights of data subjects are exercised, data is deleted, and we respond to any threats to the data. Furthermore, we take the protection of personal data into account as early as the development and selection of hardware, software and processes, in accordance with the principle of data protection through technology design and data protection-friendly default settings.

Cooperation with contract processors, jointly responsible parties and third parties

If, in the course of our processing, we disclose data to other persons and companies (processors, jointly responsible parties or third parties), transfer it to them or otherwise grant them access to the data, this will only be done on the basis of a legal authorization (e.g. if the transfer of the data to third parties, such as payment service providers, is necessary for the performance of a contract), if users have consented, if a legal obligation provides for it or on the basis of our legitimate interests (e.g. when using agents, web hosts, etc.).

If we disclose, transfer or otherwise grant access to data to other companies in our group of companies, this is done in particular for administrative purposes as a legitimate interest and, moreover, on a basis that complies with the legal requirements.

Transmissions to third countries

If we process data in a third country (i.e. outside the European Union (EU), the European Economic Area (EEA) or the Swiss Confederation) or if this is done in the context of using the services of third parties or disclosure or transfer of data to other persons or companies, this will only take place if it is done to fulfil our (pre-)contractual obligations, on the basis of your consent, on the basis of a legal obligation or on the basis of our legitimate interests. Subject to express consent or contractually required transfer, we will only process or have processed the data in third countries with a recognized level of data protection, including the US processors certified under the "Privacy-Shield" or on the basis of special guarantees, such as contractual obligations through so-called standard protection clauses of the EU Commission, the existence of certifications or binding internal data protection regulations (Art. 44 to 49 DSGVO, Information page of the EU Commission).

Rights of the data subjects

Right of access: You have the right to obtain confirmation as to whether or not data in question is being processed and to obtain information about this data and to receive further information and a copy of the data in accordance with the law.

Right of rectification: You have the right to ask for the completion of the data concerning you or the rectification of incorrect data concerning you, in accordance with the law.

Right to erasure and restriction of processing: You have the right to demand, in accordance with the legal requirements, that data concerning you be erased immediately, or alternatively, in accordance with the legal requirements, to demand a restriction of the processing of the data.

Right to withdraw

You have the right to withdraw your consent with effect for the future.

Right to object

Right to object: You have the right to object at any time, for reasons arising from your specific situation, to the processing of personal data concerning you, which is carried out pursuant to art. 6, paragraph 1, letter e or f of the DPA; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions. If the personal data concerning you are processed for the purpose of direct marketing, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you for the purpose of such marketing, including profiling, insofar as it is linked to such direct marketing.

Cookies and right of objection for direct advertising

'Cookies' are small files that are stored on the user's computer. Different information can be stored within the cookies. A cookie is primarily used to store information about a user (or the device on which the cookie is stored) during or after his visit to an online service. Temporary cookies, or 'session cookies' or 'transient cookies', are cookies that are deleted after a user leaves an online offer and closes his browser. In such a cookie, for example, the contents of a shopping cart in an online store or a login status can be stored. Cookies are described as 'permanent' or 'persistent' if they remain stored even after the browser is closed. For example, the login status can be saved if the user visits it after several days. Likewise, the interests of the users can be stored in such a cookie, which is used for range measurement or marketing purposes. Third-party cookies are cookies that are offered by providers other than the person responsible for operating the online service (otherwise, if it is only their cookies, it is called 'first-party cookies').

We may use temporary and permanent cookies and provide information on this in our privacy policy.

If we ask the users for their consent to the use of cookies (e.g. in the context of a cookie consent), the legal basis for this processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a. DSGVO. Otherwise, the users' personal cookies will be processed in accordance with the following explanations within the framework of this data protection declaration on the basis of our legitimate interests (i.e. interest in the analysis, optimization and economic operation of our online offer within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f. DSGVO) or insofar as the use of cookies is necessary for the provision of our contract-related services, in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b. DSGVO, or if the use of cookies is necessary for the performance of a task that is in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority, pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. e. DSGVO, processed.

If users do not wish cookies to be stored on their computer, they are asked to deactivate the corresponding option in the system settings of their browser. Stored cookies can be deleted in the system settings of the browser. The exclusion of cookies can lead to functional limitations of this online offer.

A general objection to the use of cookies used for online marketing purposes can be raised for a number of services, especially in the case of tracking, via the US-American page http://www.aboutads.info/choices/ or the EU page http://www.youronlinechoices.com/ be explained. Furthermore, the storage of cookies can be achieved by deactivating them in the browser settings. Please note that not all functions of this online offer can be used then.

Deletion of data

The data processed by us will be deleted or limited in its processing in accordance with the legal requirements. Unless expressly stated in this data protection declaration, the data stored by us will be deleted as soon as they are no longer required for their intended purpose and the deletion does not conflict with any legal storage obligations.

If the data is not deleted because it is required for other and legally permissible purposes, its processing is restricted, i.e. the data is blocked and not processed for other purposes. This applies, for example, to data that must be retained for commercial or tax law reasons.

We ask you to inform yourself regularly about the content of our data protection declaration. We will adapt the data protection declaration as soon as changes in the data processing carried out by us make this necessary. We will inform you as soon as the changes make it necessary for you to take action to cooperate (e.g. to give your consent) or to receive other individual notification.

We process the data of our customers within the scope of our contractual services, which include conceptual and strategic consulting, campaign planning, software and design development/consulting or maintenance, implementation of campaigns and processes/handling, server administration, data analysis/consulting services and training services.

In this context we process inventory data (e.g, customer master data, such as names or addresses), contact data (e.g., e-mail, telephone numbers), content data (e.g., text entries, photographs, videos), contract data (e.g., subject matter of the contract, duration), payment data (e.g., bank details, payment history), usage and meta data (e.g., as part of the evaluation and performance measurement of marketing measures). As a matter of principle, we do not process special categories of personal data, unless they are part of a commissioned processing. Those affected include our customers, interested parties and their customers, users, website visitors or employees as well as third parties. The purpose of processing is to provide contractual services, billing and our customer service. The legal basis of the processing is derived from Art. 6 para. 1 letter b DSGVO (contractual services), Art. 6 para. 1 letter f DSGVO (analysis, statistics, optimization, security measures). We process data which are necessary for the justification and fulfilment of the contractual services and point out the necessity of their disclosure. Disclosure to external parties will only be made if it is necessary within the scope of an order. When processing the data provided to us within the scope of an order, we act in accordance with the instructions of the client and the legal requirements of an order processing in accordance with Art. 28 DSGVO and do not process the data for any other purposes than those specified in the order.

We delete the data after the expiry of legal warranty and comparable obligations. The necessity of keeping the data is reviewed every three years; in the case of legal archiving obligations, the deletion is carried out after the expiry of these obligations (6 years, according to § 257 para. 1 HGB, 10 years, according to § 147 para. 1 AO). In the case of data that has been disclosed to us by the client within the scope of an order, we delete the data in accordance with the specifications of the order, in principle after the end of the order.

Administration, financial accounting, office organization, contact management

We process data within the framework of administrative tasks as well as the organization of our operations, financial accounting and compliance with legal obligations, such as archiving. In doing so, we process the same data that we process within the scope of providing our contractual services. The basis for processing is article 6 paragraph 1 letter c. DSGVO, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f. DSGVO. Customers, interested parties, business partners and website visitors are affected by the processing. The purpose of and our interest in processing lies in the administration, financial accounting, office organization, archiving of data, i.e. tasks that serve to maintain our business activities, perform our tasks and provide our services. The deletion of data with regard to contractual services and contractual communication corresponds to the data mentioned in these processing activities.

We disclose or transfer data to the financial administration, consultants, such as tax consultants or auditors, as well as other fee agencies and payment service providers.

We also store information on suppliers, event organizers and other business partners on the basis of our business interests, e.g. for the purpose of subsequent contact. We store this data, which is mainly company-related, on a permanent basis.

Economic analyses and market research

In order to run our business economically, to identify market trends, wishes of contract partners and users, we analyze the data available to us on business transactions, contracts, inquiries, etc. We process inventory data, communication data, contract data, payment data, usage data, metadata on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f. DSGVO, whereby the persons concerned include contractual partners, interested parties, customers, visitors and users of our online offer.

The analyses are carried out for the purpose of business management evaluations, marketing and market research. In doing so, we can take into account the profiles of the registered users with information, e.g. on the services they used. The analyses serve us to increase user-friendliness, to optimize our offer and business efficiency. The analyses serve only us and are not disclosed externally, unless they are anonymous analyses with summarized values.

If these analyses or profiles are personal, they will be deleted or made anonymous upon termination by the user, otherwise after two years from the conclusion of the contract. In all other respects, the macroeconomic analyses and general trend determinations will be prepared anonymously wherever possible.

Data protection information in the application process

The application procedure requires that applicants provide us with the data necessary for their assessment and selection. Which information is required can be found in the job description or, in the case of online forms, in the information provided there.
In principle, the required information includes personal details such as name, address, contact details and proof of the qualifications required for a position. On request, we will also be happy to tell you what information is required.
If provided, applicants can send us their applications using an online form. The data will be encrypted according to the state of the art and transmitted to us. Applicants can also send us their applications by e-mail. Please note, however, that e-mails on the Internet are generally not sent encrypted. As a rule, e-mails are encrypted in transit, but not on the servers from which they are sent and received. We can therefore not assume any responsibility for the transmission path of the application between the sender and the reception on our server. Applicants are welcome to contact us regarding the method of submitting their application or to send us their application by post.
The data provided by the applicants, in case of a successful application, may be processed by us for the purposes of the employment relationship. Otherwise, if the application for a job offer is not successful, the applicants' data will be deleted. The applicants' data will also be deleted if an application is withdrawn, which the applicants are entitled to do at any time. Subject to a justified revocation by the applicants, the data will be deleted after a period of six months at the latest so that we can answer any follow-up questions regarding the application and comply with our obligation to provide evidence under the regulations on the equal treatment of applicants. Invoices for any travel expense reimbursement will be archived in accordance with tax law.
Applicants' data will be processed on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b DSGVO (application procedure as a pre-contractual or contractual relationship). If, in the course of the application procedure, special categories of personal data within the meaning of Art. 9 para. 1 DSGVO (e.g. health data, such as severely handicapped status or ethnic origin) are requested from applicants so that the person responsible or the data subject can exercise the rights arising to him or her from employment law and social security and social protection law and fulfil his or her obligations in this respect, their processing is carried out in accordance with Art. 9 para. 2 letter b. DSGVO, in the case of protection of vital interests of applicants or other persons according to art. 9 par. 2 letter c. DSGVO or for the purposes of health care or occupational medicine, for the assessment of the employee's ability to 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 in accordance with Art. 9 para. 2 lit. h. DSGVO. In the case of communication of special categories of data based on voluntary consent, their processing is carried out on the basis of art. 9, paragraph 2, letter a. DSGVO.
In the case of processing of applicant data in Germany, §§ 22, 26 BDSG apply in addition specifically).

Contact

When contacting us (e.g. via contact form, e-mail, telephone or via social media), the user's details will be used to process the contact request and its handling in accordance with Art. 6 Par. 1 lit. b. (within the scope of contractual/pre-contractual relations), Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f. (other inquiries) DSGVO processed... User data may be stored in a customer relationship management system ("CRM System") or a comparable inquiry organization.

We delete the inquiries if they are no longer required. We check the necessity every two years; furthermore, the legal archiving obligations apply.

Communication via WhatsApp Messenger

We use the WhatsApp Messenger for communication purposes and ask you to observe the following information regarding the functionality, encryption, risks of WhatsApp, use of metadata within the Facebook group of companies and your right to object.

You do not need to use WhatsApp and can contact us through alternative means, such as telephone or e-mail. Please use the contact information provided to you or use the contact information provided on our website.
WhatsApp (WhatsApp Inc. WhatsApp Legal 1601 Willow Road Menlo Park, California 94025, USA) is a U.S. service, which means that the information you submit via WhatsApp may be transferred to WhatsApp in the U.S. before it is sent to us.

WhatsApp is certified under the Privacy Shield Agreement, however, and therefore assures that it complies with European and Swiss data protection laws (https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt0000000TSnwAAG&status=Active).
WhatsApp also assures that the communication content (i.e., the content of your message and attached images) is encrypted end-to-end. This means that the content of the messages is not visible, not even to WhatsApp itself. You should always use a current version of WhatsApp to ensure that the message content is encrypted.

However, we would like to point out to our communication partners that WhatsApp cannot see the content but can learn that and when communication partners communicate with us, as well as technical information about the communication partner's device and, depending on the settings of their device, location information (so-called metadata). With the exception of encrypted content, the data of communication partners may be transmitted within the Facebook group of companies, especially for the purpose of optimizing the respective services and for security purposes. Likewise, communication partners should assume, at least as long as they have not objected to this, that their data processed by WhatsApp can be used for marketing purposes or for displaying advertising tailored to users.

If we ask communication partners for their consent before communicating with them via WhatsApp, the legal basis for our processing of their data is Art. 6 Par. 1 lit. a. DSGVO. Otherwise, if we do not ask for your consent and you contact us, for example, on your own initiative, we use WhatsApp in relation to our contractual partners and in the context of contract negotiations as a contractual measure in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b. DSGVO and in the case of other interested parties and communication partners on the basis of our legitimate interest in fast and efficient communication and meeting the needs of our communication partners for communication via messengers in accordance with Art. 6 Par. 1 lit. f. DSGVO.

Further information on the purposes, types and scope of the processing of your data by WhatsApp, as well as the relevant rights and setting options to protect your privacy, please refer to the WhatsApp data protection information:https://www.whatsapp.com/legal.

You may object to communication with us via WhatsApp at any time. If you subscribe to news (also known as 'broadcasts') via WhatsApp, you may delete our respective phone number from their contacts and request that we remove your contact from our directory. In the case of ongoing individual inquiries or communications, you may also request that we do not continue communications through WhatsApp and that we delete the content of communications.
Finally, we would like to point out that for your security, we reserve the right not to answer any inquiries about WhatsApp. This is the case if, for example, internal contractual matters require special confidentiality or a reply via Messenger does not meet formal requirements. In such cases we will refer you to more appropriate communication channels.

Hosting and e-mailing

The hosting services we use serve to provide the following services: Infrastructure and platform services, computing capacity, storage space and database services, e-mail dispatch, security services as well as technical maintenance services that we use for the purpose of operating this online offer.

Herein we, respectively our hosting provider, process inventory data, contact data, content data, contract data, usage data, meta and communication data of customers, interested parties and visitors of this online offer on the basis of our legitimate interests in an efficient and secure provision of this online offer according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO in connection with Art. 28 DSGVO (conclusion of contract processing agreement).

Collection of access data and log files

We, or rather our hosting provider, shall, on the basis of our legitimate interests as defined in Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f. DSGVO data about every access to the server on which this service is located (so-called server log files). The access data includes the name of the accessed website, file, date and time of access, amount of data transferred, notification of successful access, browser type and version, the user's operating system, referrer URL (the previously visited site), IP address and the requesting provider. Data whose further storage is required for evidence purposes is excluded from deletion until the respective incident has been finally clarified.

Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland ('Google'). Google uses cookies. The information generated by the cookie about the use of the website by the user is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. Google will use this information on our behalf to evaluate the use of our website by the user, to compile reports about the activities within this website and to provide us with further services associated with the use of this website and the use of the Internet. The processed data can be used to create pseudonymous user profiles of the users.

We use Google Analytics only with activated IP anonymization. This means that the IP address of the user is shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or in other states that are party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there.

The IP address transmitted by the user's browser is not combined with other data from Google. Users can prevent the storage of cookies by adjusting their browser software accordingly; users can also prevent the collection of data generated by the cookie and related to their use of the online offer to Google and the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plugin available under the following link: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de.

If we ask users to give their consent (e.g. in the context of a cookie consent), the legal basis for this processing is Art. 6 paragraph 1 lit. a. DSGVO. Otherwise, the personal data of the users will be processed on the basis of our legitimate interests (i.e. interest in the analysis, optimization and economic operation of our online offer within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f. If data is processed in the USA, we would like to point out that Google is certified under the Privacy-Shield-Agreement and thereby assures to comply with the European data protection law (https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt000000001L5AAI&status=Active).

For more information about Google's use of data, setting and objection possibilities, please refer to Google's privacy policy (https://policies.google.com/privacy) sowie in den Einstellungen für die Darstellung von Werbeeinblendungen durch Google (https://adssettings.google.com/authenticated).

The personal data of the users will be deleted or made anonymous after 14 months.

Google AdWords and conversion measurement

We use the Google "AdWords" online marketing process to place ads on the Google advertising network (e.g., in search results, in videos, on web pages, etc.) to be displayed to users who have a presumed interest in the ads. This allows us to better target ads for and within our online services so that we only show users ads that potentially match their interests. For example, if a user is shown ads for products that he or she has been interested in on other websites, this is called 'remarketing'. For these purposes, when you visit our website and other websites on which the Google advertising network is active, Google executes a code directly by Google and so-called (re)marketing tags (invisible graphics or code, also known as "Web Beacons") are integrated into the website. With their help, an individual cookie, i.e. a small file, is stored on the user's device (instead of cookies, comparable technologies can also be used). This file records which websites the user has visited, what content he is interested in and which offers the user has clicked on, as well as technical information on the browser and operating system, referring websites, visiting time and other information on the use of the online offer.

Remotely we receive an individual 'conversion cookie'. The information obtained with the help of the cookie is used by Google to compile conversion statistics for us. However, we only learn the anonymous total number of users who clicked on our ad and were redirected to a page with a conversion tracking tag. However, we do not receive any information that can be used to identify users personally.

User data is processed pseudonymously within the Google advertising network. This means, for example, that Google does not store and process the name or e-mail address of the user, but processes the relevant data cookie-related within pseudonymous user profiles. I.e. from Google's point of view, the ads are not managed and displayed for a specifically identified person, but for the cookie holder, regardless of who that cookie holder is. This does not apply if a user has expressly permitted Google to process the data without this pseudonymization. The information collected about users is transmitted to Google and stored on Google's servers in the USA.

If we ask users for their consent (e.g. in the context of cookie consent), the legal basis for this processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a. DSGVO. Otherwise, the personal data of the users will be processed on the basis of our legitimate interests (i.e. interest in the analysis, optimization and economic operation of our online offer within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f. If data is processed in the USA, we would like to point out that Google is certified under the Privacy-Shield-Agreement and thereby assures to comply with the European data protection law (https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt000000001L5AAI&status=Active).

Weitere Informationen zur Datennutzung durch Google, Einstellungs- und Widerspruchsmöglichkeiten, erfahren Sie in der Datenschutzerklärung von Google (https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads) sowie in den Einstellungen für die Darstellung von Werbeeinblendungen durch Google (https://adssettings.google.com/authenticated).

Online presence in social media

We maintain online presences within social networks and platforms in order to be able to communicate with the customers, interested parties and users active there and to inform them about our services.

We would like to point out that user data may be processed outside the area of the European Union. This can result in risks for the users, because the enforcement of the users' rights could be made more difficult. With regard to US providers certified under the Privacy Shield, we would like to point out that they thereby undertake to comply with the data protection standards of the EU.

Farthermore, user data is generally processed for market research and advertising purposes. For example, user profiles can be created from the user behavior and the resulting interests of the users. The user profiles can in turn be used, for example, to place advertisements within and outside the platforms that presumably correspond to the interests of the users. For these purposes, cookies are usually stored on the users' computers, in which the usage behaviour and interests of the users are stored. Furthermore, data may also be stored in the user profiles regardless of the devices used by the users (especially if the users are members of the respective platforms and are logged in to them).

The processing of the users' personal data is based on our legitimate interests in effective information of the users and communication with the users in accordance with Art. 6 Par. 1 lit. f. DSGVO. If the users are asked by the respective providers of the platforms to give their consent to the data processing described above, the legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a., Art. 7 DSGVO.

For a detailed presentation of the respective processing and the possibilities of objection (opt-out), we refer to the following linked information from the providers.

Also in the case of requests for information and the assertion of user rights, we point out that these can be asserted most effectively with the providers. Only the providers have access to the data of the users and can directly take appropriate measures and provide information. Should you nevertheless require assistance, you can contact us.

Integration of third-party services and content

We set within our online offer on the basis of our legitimate interests (i.e. interest in the analysis, optimization and economic operation of our online offer within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f. DSGVO), we use content or service offers from third parties in order to integrate their content and services, such as videos or fonts (hereinafter uniformly referred to as 'content').

This always presupposes that the third party providers of these contents are aware of the IP address of the users, as without the IP address they would not be able to send the contents to their browsers. The IP address is therefore necessary for the display of these contents. We make every effort to use only such content whose respective providers use the IP address only to deliver the content. Third party providers may also use so-called pixel tags (invisible graphics, also known as "web beacons") for statistical or marketing purposes. The "pixel tags" can be used to evaluate information such as visitor traffic on the pages of this website. The pseudonymous information can also be stored in cookies on the user's device and may contain technical information on the browser and operating system, referring websites, visiting times and other details on the use of our online offer, as well as being linked to such information from other sources.

Youtube

We integrate the videos of the platform 'YouTube' of the provider Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. Privacy Policy: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/, Opt-Out: https://adssettings.google.com/authenticated.

Google Maps

We integrate the maps of the 'Google Maps' service of the provider Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. The processed data may include, in particular, IP addresses and location data of the users, which, however, are not collected without their consent (usually in the context of the settings of their mobile devices). The data may be processed in the USA. Privacy Policy: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/, Opt-Out: https://adssettings.google.com/authenticated.
