The way how your personal data is processed is described as follows:

Storage of personal data in our customer relationship management system

Description and scope of data processing: If you contact us for business purposes, we may store your personal data in our customer relationship management system and may inform you at irregular intervals about current topics from our field of activity and events (no newsletter).

The provision of personal data by you is not required by law or contract, nor is it necessary for the conclusion of a contract. You are not obliged to provide us with personal data.

Legal basis for the data processing: The legal basis for the processing of the data is your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DS-GVO).

Purpose of the data processing: The purpose of processing personal data is to organize our business contacts and to send information within the scope of our activity.

Duration of storage: The data is deleted as soon as it is no longer required to achieve the purpose for which it was collected. We regularly check, at the latest every three years, whether further storage of the data is necessary. This does not apply if the deletion conflicts with legal or contractual obligations, in particular retention periods.

Purpose of the data processing: The temporary storage of the IP address you use is necessary to enable delivery of the website to your computer.

Embedded videos

  • Embedding via YouTube

On our websites, you can watch videos that are embedded by means of a "plug-in" of Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland; a Google LLC company). When you call up a website with an embedded video, YouTube processes system data about the terminal device you are using and the browser you are using (IP address, type of browser used, device information, operating system used).

YouTube uses cookies for data collection and statistical data analysis, to prevent fraud and to improve the user experience. We receive statistical values on the retrieval of individual videos embedded in the website via the cookies set by YouTube without any reference to the respective user. If you view a video embedded in this way, this data may also be stored and further used by YouTube. In this case, if you are logged into YouTube at the same time as your YouTube account, YouTube may be able to associate your surfing behavior with your YouTube user profile. You can prevent corresponding data processing by logging out of your YouTube account before visiting our websites.

The "extended data protection mode" for YouTube videos is activated on our websites. This means: YouTube does not store cookies for a user who views a website with an embedded YouTube video player, but does not click on the video to start playback. Before calling up a video, you will be informed that by clicking on a video link you will leave the website of the responsible party and be transferred to the Internet offering of the YouTube video portal, transferring the website you are currently calling up. If you accept this, YouTube may store the above-mentioned cookies on your terminal device; however, no personal cookie information is stored for playbacks of embedded videos.

Since this is the service of a third party, we have no influence on the processing of corresponding data by YouTube. For the purpose and scope of the data collection and the further processing and use of the data by YouTube or Google, as well as your rights in this regard and setting options for protecting your privacy, please refer to the corresponding notes on data protection at policies.google.com/privacy. Google also processes your personal data in the USA, which does not have a level of data protection equivalent to that of the EU.

Embedded Maps

  • Use of Google Maps

On our websites, the Google Maps offer of the provider Google LLC (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA) is used. This allows us to show you interactive maps directly on the website and enables you to use the map function comfortably.

If you have consented to the integration of Google Maps, Google receives the information that you have accessed the corresponding subpage of our website. In addition, system data about your terminal device and the browser you are using (IP address, browser type used, device information, operating system used) are processed by Google. This occurs regardless of whether Google provides a user account through which you are logged in or whether no user account exists. If you are logged in to Google, your data will be directly assigned to your account. If you do not want the assignment with your profile at Google, you must log out before activating the button. Google stores your data as usage profiles and uses them for the purposes of advertising, market research and/or demand-oriented design of its website. Such an evaluation is carried out in particular (even for users who are not logged in) to provide needs-based advertising and to inform other users of the social network about your activities on our website. You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles, whereby you must contact Google to exercise this right.

If you do not want the data processing, please do not open the map from Google Maps.

For more information about the purpose and scope of data collection and processing by Google, please refer to Google's privacy policy at policies.google.com/privacy. There you will also receive further information on your rights in this regard and setting options for protecting your privacy. Google also processes your data in the USA, which does not have a level of data protection equivalent to that of the EU..

  • Use of Open Street Map

Our websites use map extracts based on the OpenStreetMap (OSM) open data project of the OpenStreetMap Foundation (132 Maney Hill Road, Sutton Coldfield, West Midlands, B72 1JU, United Kingdom). OSM is used to provide you with interactive maps of our website.

If you have consented to the use of OSM, information about the use of the website (website visited, IP address used, browser type used, user behavior) is transferred to retrieve so-called tiles (map sections). Depending on which map sections you retrieve, data may also be transferred for this purpose to servers in countries outside Germany and the European Union or the European Economic Area, including the USA. OSM's main servers and infrastructure are operated in the United Kingdom and the Netherlands. Access to other servers only occurs if you should retrieve map sections of the respective countries. According to its own information, the data is deleted 180 days after collection.

This service is open source and we have no influence on its data collection and processing. The information collected may be transferred to third parties, processed on behalf of third parties and the data may be merged with other data stored about the user, although we have no information on this.

You can disable the collection of data by using OpenStreetMap by not using the map viewer.

Further information on the use of personal data by OpenStreetMap is available at wiki.osmfoundation.org/wiki/Privacy_Policy. The EU Commission has confirmed the adequate level of data protection in the United Kingdom by means of an adequacy decision.

Social plug-ins from social network providers

Social plug-ins from social network providers are used on our websites. Via these social plug-ins, personal data can be sent to the service providers (also to non-European countries) and possibly used by them.

We do not collect any personal data ourselves by means of the social plug-ins or via their use. We have configured the social plug-ins so that initially no personal data is passed on to the providers of the individual social plug-ins when you visit our website. Only when you click on one of the social plug-ins can data be transmitted to the service provider and stored there.

When you click on the corresponding buttons of the service providers, they receive the information that you have accessed the corresponding subpage of our online offer. You do not need to have an account with this service provider or be logged in there. If you are logged in to the service provider, this data is directly assigned to your account. If you click on one of the social plug-ins and link to the page, for example, the service provider will also store this information in your user account and may share this publicly with your contacts.

If you do not wish to be associated with your profile by the service provider, you must log out before clicking on one of the social plug-ins.

We have no influence on whether and to what extent the service providers collect personal data. We are also not aware of the scope, purpose and storage period of the data collection. It must be assumed that at least the IP address and device-related information are collected and used. It is also possible that the service providers use cookies.

We would like to point out that some of the service providers of social networks are based outside the territory of the EU and the European Economic Area (EEA), in particular in the USA, and that these countries do not have an adequate level of data protection. We cannot rule out the possibility that even if service providers of social networks have a registered office in the EU, the personal data may also be transmitted to group companies in the USA or another country outside the EU or the EEA and/or this data may also be stored on servers in the USA or another country outside the EU or the EEA.

Our appearances on social media

You can find us on various social media channels. When you visit one of our presences on social media, the respective social media provider processes data from you in order to create statistical evaluations and to operate and improve its own services and offers. The data processing takes place in part regardless of whether you are registered and logged in to the visited social media platform itself or not.

Some service providers provide us with analyses of the use of our websites, which we can use to analyze our offerings and the needs of our users. For this purpose, the reach of our posts, the number of views of our videos and the development of our subscriber numbers are evaluated. We receive the evaluations completely without personal reference. The anonymized data summarized by groups/categories include: Age, gender, user's place of residence (country and region/city), time and location of use, total number of users of individual functions/areas, interactions (e.g. comments, click rate, views, shares), video usage duration, devices used, operating systems, software, usage history (referring web offers), language, accessed interests/topics.  

Anonymized evaluations are updated daily and made available for an evaluation period including the previous day.

We have no influence on whether and to what extent the service providers collect personal data. We also do not know the scope, purpose and storage period of the data collection. It must be assumed that at least the IP address and device-related information are collected and used. It is also possible that the operators use cookies and comparable technologies with which the usage behavior on the platforms and other services of the provider can be tracked and evaluated.

We would like to point out that some of the social media providers are based outside the territory of the EU and the European Economic Area (EEA), in particular in the USA, and that these countries do not have an adequate level of data protection. We cannot rule out the possibility that even if social media providers have a registered office in the EU, personal data may also be transferred to group companies in the USA or another country outside the EU or the EEA and/or that this data may also be stored on servers in the USA or another country outside the EU or the EEA. Government agencies in some third countries, for example in the USA, have far-reaching access rights to data from companies based in these third countries.

Insofar as we receive statistical evaluations from the individual providers of the social media channels about the use of our appearances, there is joint responsibility between us and the respective provider of the social media channel for these related data processing operations.
