Thank you for visiting our website. Protection of your privacy is very important to us. Below you will find extensive information about how we handle your data.

1. Access data and hosting

You may visit our website without revealing any personal information. With every visit on the website, the web server stores automatically only a so-called server log file which contains e.g. the name of the requested file, your IP address, the date and time of the request, the volume of data transferred and the requesting provider (access data), and documents the request. These access data are analysed exclusively for the purpose of ensuring the smooth operation of the website and improving our online appearance. This serves according to Art. 6 (1) 1 lit. f GDPR the protection of our legitimate interests in the proper presentation of our online appearance that are overriding in the process of balancing of interests.

Hosting

The services for hosting and displaying the website are partly provided by our service providers on the basis of processing on our behalf. Unless otherwise stated in this privacy policy, all access data and all data collected in forms provided for this purpose on this website are processed on their servers. If you have any questions about our service providers and the basis of our cooperation with them, please use the contact option described in this privacy policy.

2. Data processing for the purposes of establishing contact and customer communication

Establishing contact

We collect personal data if you voluntarily provide it when contacting us (e.g. via contact form or e-mail). Mandatory fields are marked as such because in these cases we necessarily need the data to process your contact and you cannot send the contact without providing it. Which data is collected can be seen from the respective input forms. We use the data you provide to process your enquiries in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR.

After complete processing of your enquiry, your data will be restricted for further processing and deleted after expiry of the retention periods under tax and commercial law in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (c) GDPR, unless you have expressly consented to further use of your data in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR or we reserve the right to use data beyond this, which is permitted by law and about which we inform you in this privacy policy.

3. Marketing via e-mail, mail

3.1 E-mail newsletter with subscription and newsletter tracking

If you subscribe to our newsletter, we will regularly send you our email newsletter based on your consent according to Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR, using the data required or disclosed by you separately for this purpose.

You can unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time. This can either be done by sending a message to the contact option described in this privacy policy or via a link provided for this purpose in the newsletter. After unsubscribing, we will delete your e-mail address from the list of recipients, unless you have expressly consented to the further use of your data or we have reserved the right to use your data for other purposes that are permitted by law and about which we inform you in this privacy policy.

We would like to point out that we evaluate your user behaviour when sending the newsletter. For this purpose, we also analyse your interaction with our newsletter by measuring, storing and evaluating opening rates and click-through rates for the purpose of designing future newsletter campaigns ("newsletter tracking").

For this evaluation, the emails sent contain single-pixel technologies (e.g. so-called web beacons, tracking pixels) that are stored on our website. For the evaluations, we link the following "newsletter data" in particular

• the page from which the page was requested (so-called referrer URL),
• the date and time of the request,
• the description of the type of web browser used,
• the IP address of the requesting computer,
• the e-mail address,
• the date and time of registration and confirmation

and the single-pixel technologies with your e-mail address or your IP address and, if applicable, an individual ID. Links contained in the newsletter may also contain this ID.

If you do not wish to receive newsletter tracking, it is possible to unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time - as described above.

The information will be stored as long as you have subscribed to the newsletter.

3.2 Newsletter mailing

The newsletter and the newsletter tracking shown above may also be sent by our service providers as part of processing on our behalf. If you have any questions about our service providers and the basis of our cooperation with them, please use the contact option described in this privacy policy.

3.3 Postal advertising and your right to opt out

Furthermore, we reserve the right to use your first and last name and your postal address for our advertising purposes, e.g. for sending interesting offers and information about our products by post. This serves to safeguard our legitimate interests in promoting and advertising our products to customers according to Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR that are overriding in the process of balancing of interests. You can opt out of the storage and use of your data for these purposes at any time by sending a message to the contact option specified below.

Unless otherwise specified for the specific technologies, data processing is based on an agreement concluded for the respective technology between jointly responsible parties in accordance with Art. 26 GDPR.

Our service providers are located and/or use servers in countries outside the EU and the EEA. For these countries there is no adequacy decision by the European Commission. Our cooperation is based on standard data protection clauses adopted by the European Commission.

Google Analytics

For the purpose of website analysis, Google Analytics automatically collects and stores data (IP address, time of visit, device and browser information as well as information on your use of our website), from which usage profiles are created using pseudonyms. Cookies may be used for this purpose. If you visit our website from the EU, your IP address will be stored on a server located in the EU to derive location data and then deleted immediately before the traffic is forwarded to further Google servers for processing. The data processing is carried out on the basis of an order processing agreement by Google.

In order to optimize the marketing of our website, we have activated the data sharing settings for "Google products and services".

The data sharing to Google within the scope of these data sharing settings is based on an additional agreement between the data controllers. We have no influence on the subsequent data processing by Google.

For web analytics and advertising purposes, the extension function of Google Analytics enables the so-called DoubleClick cookie to recognize your browser when visiting other websites. Google will use this information to compile reports about your website activities and to provide other services related to the use of the website.

Google Tag Manager

By means of the Google Tag Manager, we can manage various codes and services on our website. When implementing the individual tags, Google may also process personal data (e.g. IP address, online identifiers (including cookies)). The data processing is carried out on the basis of an order processing agreement by Google.

By using the Google Tag Manager, a simplified integration of various services/technologies can be achieved.

If you do not wish to use individual tracking services and have therefore deactivated them, the deactivation remains in place for all affected tracking tags that are integrated by the Google Tag Manager.

Use of Facebook Pixel

We use the Facebook pixel within the framework of the technologies of Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd., Block J, Serpentine Avenue, Dublin 4, Irland (hereafter („Facebook (by Meta)“ or “Meta Platforms Ireland“) as described below. The Facebook pixel is used to automatically collect and store data (IP address, time of visit, device and browser information as well as information on your use of our website based on events specified by us, such as a visit to a website or newsletter registration), from which user profiles are created using pseudonyms. For this purpose, a cookie is automatically set by the Facebook pixel when you visit our website, which automatically enables recognition of your browser when visiting other websites by means of a pseudonymous cookie ID. Facebook (by Meta) will combine this information with other data from your Facebook account and use it to compile reports on website activities and to provide other services associated with website use, in particular personalised and group-based advertising. We have no influence on data processing by Facebook and only receive statistics based on Facebook pixels.
The information automatically collected by Facebook (by Meta) technologies about your use of our website is usually transferred to a server of Meta Platforms, Inc., 1601 Willow Road, Menlo Park, California 94025, USA and stored there. Further information about data processing by Facebook can be found in Facebook 's (by Meta) privacy policy. Our service providers are located and/or use servers in the following countries, for which the European Commission has established an adequate level of data protection by decision: USA, Canada, Japan, South Korea, New Zealand, United Kingdom, Argentina. There is a decision of the European Commission on an adequate level of data protection for the USA as the basis for a third country transfer, insofar as the respective service provider is certified. Certification is available. Our service providers are located and/or use servers in these countries: Australia, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, Taiwan, Brazil, Mexico. There is no European Commission adequacy decision for this country/these countries. Our cooperation is based on these guarantees: Standard data protection clauses of the European Commission.

4.2 Consent Manager Platform (CMP)

On our website, we use a consent management service ("Consent Manager Platform (CMP)") to inform you about the cookies and the other technologies we use on our website, as well as to obtain, manage and document your consent, if required, to the processing of your personal data by these technologies. This is necessary pursuant to Art. 6 (1) 1 c GDP to comply with our legal obligation pursuant to Art. 7 (1) GDPR to be able to prove your consent to the processing of your personal data, to which we are subject. The Consent Manager Platform (CMP) used is an offer from OneTrust Technology Limited, Mühldorfstraße 8, 81671 München, Deutschland, which processes your data on our behalf.

Your data will be deleted after one year unless you have expressly consented to further use of your data in accordance with Art. 6 (1) 1 a GDPR or we reserve the right to use data beyond this, which is permitted by law and about which we inform you in this statement.

5.3 Information on third country transfer (data transfer to third countries)

We use technology from service providers on our website whose headquarters and/or server locations may be in third countries outside the EU or EEA. If there is no EU Commission adequacy decision for this country, an adequate level of data protection must be ensured by means of other suitable guarantees.

Suitable guarantees in the form of contractually agreed standard contractual clauses of the EU Commission or binding internal data protection rules (Binding Corporate Rules) are possible in principle, but require a prior review by the contracting parties as to whether an adequate level of protection can be guaranteed. According to the case law of the ECJ, it may be necessary to take additional protective measures for this purpose.

In principle, we have agreed the standard data protection clauses issued by the EU Commission with the technology providers we use who process personal data in a third country. Where possible, we also agree on additional safeguards to ensure that sufficient data protection is guaranteed in the third countries without an adequacy decision.

Notwithstanding this, it may happen that, despite all contractual and technical measures, the level of data protection in the third country does not correspond to that in the EU. For these cases, we ask you, if necessary, in the context of cookie consent, for your consent in accordance with Art. 49 (1) lit. a GDPR to the transfer of your personal data to a third country.

In particular, there is a risk that local authorities in the third country may not have sufficiently limited access rights to your personal data from a European data protection perspective, that we as the data exporter or you as the data subject may not be aware of this and/or that you may not have sufficient legal remedies to prevent and/or take action against such access.

In particular, the following countries are currently among the third countries without an adequacy decision by the EU Commission (example enumeration):

• China
• Russia
• Taiwan

You can find out which third countries we transfer data to in the data protection notices for the respective tool and/or service we use for consent management/Consent Manager Platform (CMP).
