Recipients of personal data
In the course of our business activities, we work with various external entities. This may also require the transmission of personal data to these external entities. We only share personal data with external parties if this is necessary for contract fulfillment, if we are legally required to do so (e.g., data sharing with tax authorities), if we have a legitimate interest according to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR in sharing the data, or if another legal basis allows data sharing. When using processors, we only share personal data with our customers based on a valid processing contract. In the case of joint processing, a joint processing agreement is concluded.

IF DATA PROCESSING IS BASED ON ART. 6(1)(E) OR (F) GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA AT ANY TIME FOR REASONS ARISING FROM YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING BASED ON THESE PROVISIONS. THE RESPECTIVE LEGAL BASIS ON WHICH PROCESSING IS BASED CAN BE FOUND IN THIS PRIVACY POLICY. IF YOU OBJECT, WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR AFFECTED PERSONAL DATA UNLESS WE CAN DEMONSTRATE COMPELLING LEGITIMATE GROUNDS FOR THE PROCESSING THAT OUTWEIGH YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS, AND FREEDOMS, OR THE PROCESSING SERVES TO ASSERT, EXERCISE, OR DEFEND LEGAL CLAIMS (OBJECTION ACCORDING TO ART. 21(1) GDPR).

Right to data portability
You have the right to have data that we process based on your consent or in fulfillment of a contract automatically processed, handed over to yourself or a third party in a commonly used, machine-readable format.

Right to restrict processing
You have the right to request the restriction of processing your personal data. For this, you can contact us at any time. The right to restrict processing applies in the following cases:
- If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored with us, we generally need time to verify this. During the verification period, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
- If the processing of your personal data is unlawful, you can request the restriction of data processing instead of deletion.
- If we no longer need your personal data, but you need it for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims, you have the right to request the restriction of processing your personal data instead of deletion.
- If you have objected according to Art. 21(1) GDPR, a balance must be struck between your interests and ours. As long as it is not yet clear whose interests prevail, you have the right to request the restriction of processing your personal data.
If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, these data – apart from their storage – may only be processed with your consent or to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims or protect the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of significant public interest of the European Union or a member state.
SSL or TLS encryption
This site uses SSL or TLS encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or inquiries you send to us as the site operator. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the address bar of the browser changes from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock symbol in your browser bar.
If SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

IV. Analytics Tools and Advertising
Google Tag Manager
We use Google Tag Manager, provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.
Google Tag Manager is a tool that allows us to integrate tracking or statistical tools and other technologies into our website. The Google Tag Manager itself does not create user profiles, store cookies, or perform independent analyses. It is solely used to manage and deploy the tools integrated via it. However, Google Tag Manager does collect your IP address, which may be transmitted to Google’s parent company in the United States.
The use of this service is based on your consent according to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25(1) TTDSG. Consent can be revoked at any time.
The company is certified under the “EU-US Data Privacy Framework” (DPF). The DPF is an agreement between the European Union and the United States aimed at ensuring compliance with European data protection standards in data processing in the USA. Each company certified under the DPF commits to adhering to these data protection standards. Further information is available from the provider at the following link: https://www.dataprivacyframework.gov/participant/5780.
Google Analytics
This website uses functions of the Google Analytics web analytics service, provided by Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.
Google Analytics enables the website operator to analyze the behavior of website visitors. The website operator receives various usage data, such as page views, duration of visits, operating systems used, and the user’s origin. These data are assigned to the respective device of the website visitor and are summarized under a User-ID.
Additionally, Google Analytics may record your mouse and scroll movements and clicks. Google Analytics also uses various modeling approaches to supplement the collected datasets and applies machine learning technologies for data analysis.
Google Analytics uses technologies that enable user recognition for the purpose of analyzing user behavior (e.g., cookies or device fingerprinting). The information collected by Google about your use of this website is generally transmitted to and stored on a Google server in the USA.
The use of this service is based on your consent according to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25(1) TTDSG. Consent can be revoked at any time.
Data transmission to the USA is based on the EU Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses. Details can be found here: https://privacy.google.com/businesses/controllerterms/mccs/.
The company is certified under the “EU-US Data Privacy Framework” (DPF). Further information is available from the provider at the following link: https://www.dataprivacyframework.gov/participant/5780.
IP Anonymization
We have activated IP anonymization on this website. As a result, your IP address is shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area before being transmitted to the USA. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, compile reports on website activities, and provide other services related to website usage and internet usage to the website operator. The IP address transmitted by your browser in the context of Google Analytics is not merged with other data from Google.
Browser Plugin
You can prevent Google from collecting and processing your data by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de.
More information on how Google Analytics handles user data can be found in Google’s privacy policy: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245?hl=de.
Data Processing Agreement
We have entered into a data processing agreement with Google and fully implement the strict requirements of the German data protection authorities when using Google Analytics.
Matomo
This website uses the open-source web analytics service Matomo.
With Matomo, we are able to collect and analyze data about the usage of our website by visitors. This allows us to see, for example, when which page views occur and from which region they originate. Additionally, we can record various log files (e.g., IP address, referrer, browsers used, and operating systems) and track whether website visitors perform certain actions (e.g., clicks, purchases, etc.).
The use of this analytics tool is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in analyzing user behavior in order to optimize both its website and advertising.
IP Anonymization
We use IP anonymization with Matomo. This means that your IP address is shortened before analysis, making it impossible to directly associate it with you.
Cookie-free Analysis
We have configured Matomo so that Matomo does not store cookies in your browser.
Hosting
We host Matomo exclusively on our own servers, so all analysis data remains with us and is not shared.
V. Plugins and Tools
YouTube with Enhanced Privacy
This website incorporates videos from YouTube. The operator of the website is Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.
When you visit one of our pages with an embedded YouTube video, a connection to YouTube’s servers is established. The YouTube server is informed about which of our pages you visited. If you are logged into your YouTube account, YouTube can associate your browsing behavior directly with your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account.
We use YouTube in enhanced privacy mode. According to YouTube, videos in enhanced privacy mode are not used to personalize browsing on YouTube. Ads displayed in enhanced privacy mode are also not personalized. In enhanced privacy mode, no cookies are set. However, local storage elements may be stored in the user’s browser, which contain personal data and can be used for recognition purposes, similar to cookies. Details about the enhanced privacy mode can be found here: https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/171780.
Further data processing operations may be triggered after activating a YouTube video, over which we have no control.
The use of YouTube is based on your consent according to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25(1) TTDSG. Consent can be revoked at any time.
More information on data protection at YouTube can be found in their privacy policy at: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de.
The company is certified under the “EU-US Data Privacy Framework” (DPF).

Each company certified under the DPF commits to adhering to these data protection standards. Further information is available from the provider at the following link: https://www.dataprivacyframework.gov/participant/5780.
Data Processing Agreement
We have entered into a Data Processing Agreement (DPA) with the provider to use the above-mentioned service. This is a contract required by data protection law to ensure that the provider processes the personal data of our website visitors only in accordance with our instructions and in compliance with the GDPR.
LinkedIn Insight Tag
This website uses the LinkedIn Insight Tag. The provider of this service is LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company, Wilton Plaza, Wilton Place, Dublin 2, Ireland.
Data processing through LinkedIn Insight Tag
With the help of the LinkedIn Insight Tag, we receive information about visitors to our website. If a website visitor is registered with LinkedIn, we can, among other things, analyse the key professional data (e.g. career level, company size, country, location, industry and job title) of our website visitors and thus better tailor our site to the respective target groups. We can also use LinkedIn Insight Tags to measure whether visitors to our websites make a purchase or take another action (conversion measurement). Conversion measurement can also be carried out across devices (e.g. from PC to tablet). LinkedIn Insight Tag also offers a retargeting function that we can use to display targeted advertising to visitors to our website outside the website, whereby, according to LinkedIn, no identification of the advertising addressee takes place.
LinkedIn itself also records so-called log files (URL, referrer URL, IP address, device and browser properties and time of access). The IP addresses are shortened or (if they are used to reach LinkedIn members across devices) pseudonymised. The direct identifiers of LinkedIn members are deleted by LinkedIn after seven days. The remaining pseudonymised data is then deleted within 180 days.
The data collected by LinkedIn cannot be assigned to specific individuals by us as the website operator. LinkedIn will store the personal data collected from website visitors on its servers in the USA and use it for its own advertising purposes. Details can be found in LinkedIn’s privacy policy at https://www.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy#choices-oblig.
Legal basis
The LinkedIn Insight Tag is used on the basis of your consent in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1. a) GDPR and § 25 Para. 1 TDDDG. Consent can be revoked at any time.
Data transfer to the USA is based on the standard contractual clauses of the EU Commission. Details can be found here: https://www.linkedin.com/legal/l/dpa and https://www.linkedin.com/legal/l/eu-sccs.
The company is certified in accordance with the ‘EU-US Data Privacy Frame-work’ (DPF). The DPF is an agreement between the European Union and the USA, which is intended to ensure compliance with European data protection standards for data processing in the USA. Every company certified under the DPF undertakes to comply with these data protection standards. Further information on this can be obtained from the provider at the following link: https://www.dataprivacyframework.gov/participant/5448.
Objection to the use of LinkedIn Insight Tag
You can object to the analysis of usage behaviour and targeted advertising by LinkedIn at the following link: https://www.linkedin.com/psettings/guest-controls/retargeting-opt-out.
Furthermore, LinkedIn members can control the use of their personal data for advertising purposes in their account settings. To prevent LinkedIn from linking data collected on our website to your LinkedIn account, you must log out of your LinkedIn account before visiting our website.
Order processing
We have concluded a data processing agreement (DPA) for the use of the above-mentioned service. This is a contract prescribed by data protection law, which ensures that the service only processes the personal data of our website visitors in accordance with our instructions and in compliance with the GDPR.
VI. Own Services
Handling of Applicant Data
We offer you the opportunity to apply to us (e.g., by email, postal mail, or via an online application form). Below, we inform you about the scope, purpose, and use of your personal data collected during the application process. We assure you that the collection, processing, and use of your data are carried out in accordance with applicable data protection laws and all other legal provisions, and that your data will be treated with strict confidentiality.
Data Processors
To support our application process, we use the external service provider P & I Loga AG as a data processor. P & I Loga offers a comprehensive system for human resource management, which helps us efficiently and securely process applicant data. The processing of your personal data by P & I Loga is done exclusively on our behalf and according to our instructions. We have entered into a corresponding data processing agreement with P & I Loga, which ensures that your data is fully protected even when processed by this service provider.
Scope and Purpose of Data Collection
If you send us an application, we process your related personal data (e.g., contact and communication data, application documents, notes from interviews, etc.) as far as necessary to make a decision regarding the establishment of an employment relationship. The legal basis for this is § 26 BDSG (initiation of an employment relationship) in conjunction with Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (general contract initiation) and – if you have given your consent – Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR. Consent can be revoked at any time. Your personal data will be shared within our company only with persons involved in processing your application.
If the application is successful, the data you have submitted will be stored in our data processing systems for the purpose of executing the employment relationship, based on § 26 BDSG and Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR.
Data Retention Period
If we are unable to offer you a position, you reject a job offer, or you withdraw your application, we reserve the right to retain the data you have provided to us based on our legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) for up to 6 months following the end of the application process (rejection or withdrawal of the application). After this period, the data will be deleted and the physical application documents will be destroyed. Retention serves in particular as evidence in the event of a legal dispute. If it is evident that the data will be required after the 6-month period (e.g., due to a pending or imminent legal dispute), deletion will only occur once the reason for further retention no longer applies.
A longer retention period may also occur if you have given consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) or if legal retention obligations prevent deletion.
VII. Our Social Media Pages
We maintain publicly accessible profiles on social networks. On this website, we only link to our social media profiles externally; no elements from social networks are integrated.
Data Processing by Social Networks
The specific social networks we use are listed below.
Social networks like Facebook, Instagram, etc., can typically analyze your user behavior comprehensively if you visit their websites or websites with integrated social media content (e.g., like buttons or ad banners). By visiting our social media profiles, numerous data protection-related processing operations are triggered. Specifically:
If you are logged into your social media account and visit our social media profiles, the operator of the social media platform can link this visit to your user account. Your personal data may also be collected even if you are not logged in or do not have an account with the social media platform. This data collection occurs, for example, through cookies stored on your device or by recording your IP address.
The data collected in this way allows social media platform operators to create user profiles that store your preferences and interests. This allows interest-based advertising to be displayed to you both within and outside the respective social media platforms. If you have an account on the respective social network, interest-based advertising can be shown on all devices where you are logged in or have been logged in.
Please note that we cannot track all processing activities on the social media platforms. Depending on the provider, additional processing operations may be carried out by the operators of social media platforms. For details, please refer to the terms of use and privacy policies of the respective social media platforms.
Legal Basis
Our social media profiles are intended to ensure the most comprehensive presence on the internet. This constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The analysis processes initiated by the social networks may be based on different legal grounds, which must be specified by the social media platform operators (e.g., consent within the meaning of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR).
Controller and Assertion of Rights
When you visit one of our social media profiles (e.g., Facebook), we, along with the operator of the social media platform, are jointly responsible for the data processing triggered during your visit. You can assert your rights (access, rectification, deletion, restriction of processing, data portability, and complaint) both against us and the operator of the respective social media platform (e.g., Facebook).
Please note that despite joint responsibility with the social media platform operators, we do not have full control over the data processing operations of the social media platforms. Our options are largely determined by the corporate policies of the respective provider.
Storage Duration
The data we directly collect through our social media profiles will be deleted from our systems as soon as you request us to delete it, revoke your consent for storage, or the purpose for data storage no longer applies. Stored cookies remain on your device until you delete them. Mandatory legal provisions—particularly retention periods—remain unaffected.
We have no control over the storage duration of your data, which is stored by the operators of social networks for their own purposes. For details, please refer to the privacy policies of the respective social media providers (see below).
Your Rights
You have the right to obtain information about the origin, recipient, and purpose of your stored personal data at any time free of charge. You also have the right to object, the right to data portability, and the right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority. Furthermore, you can request the correction, blocking, deletion, or, under certain circumstances, restriction of the processing of your personal data.

VIII. WP Cerber Security, Antispam Malware Scan Plugin
We use the “Cerber Security Antispam” service provided by Cerber Tech Inc. New York, NY, 1732 1st Ave, 10128, USA. The hacker protection plugin blocks intruders via IP or subnet and protects against further attempts when a set limit of retries is reached. This makes brute force attacks or distributed brute force attacks from botnets impossible. In addition, it is possible to block or allow logins from specific IP addresses by creating an IP blacklist or whitelist. (More information on the functions at: https://wpcerber.com/). According to the provider, no data is collected or processed in this context – neither by the services nor by the software offered.

IX. GoTo Webinar
We use GoToWebinar software to communicate with our customers and to hold online webinars and virtual events. The provider is GoTo Technologies Ireland Unlimited Company, 77 Sir John Rogerson’s Quay, Block C, Suite 207, Grand Canal Docklands, Dublin 2, D02 VK60, Ireland.
If you participate in one of our webinars via GoToWebinar, your personal data will be processed by both us and the provider of the webinar software. GoToWebinar collects all data that you provide for participation (e.g. name, email address and, if applicable, telephone number). Additional professional information such as your department affiliation may also be collected.
During the webinar, registration, attendance and interaction data will also be collected, such as whether and how long you participated or whether you actively participated via functions such as chat, surveys or questions. If audio or video content is transmitted during the webinar, still images, video and voice data as well as transcripts may also be processed.
In addition, the provider of GoToWebinar processes technical information that is necessary for the provision of the service. This includes, in particular, IP addresses, MAC addresses, device IDs, device type, operating system type and version, client version, information about the camera, microphone or loudspeaker used, and the type of network connection.
If content is shared, uploaded or made available during the webinar – such as chat messages, shared files, presentations or contributions to surveys – this content is also processed by the provider and stored on its servers.
Please note that we do not have full control over the data processing operations carried out by GoToWebinar. Our scope of influence is largely determined by the company policy of the respective provider.

Purpose and legal basis
GoToWebinar is used to conduct online webinars and provide content and information to potential and existing customers, partners or interested parties. Personal data is processed for the purpose of preparing, conducting and following up on webinars and providing further materials. The legal basis for the processing of your personal data is primarily Art. 6 (1) b) GDPR (for the implementation of pre-contractual measures or the fulfilment of a contract).
If you have consented to data processing – for example, to the recording of the webinar or to receiving further information by email – we will process your personal data on the basis of Art. 6 (1) a) GDPR in conjunction with Section 25 (1) TDDDG. Consent can be revoked at any time. The revocation does not affect the lawfulness of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent until the revocation.
Furthermore, processing may be carried out on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 f) GDPR if this is necessary to safeguard our legitimate interests – for example, to analyse and optimise our webinar offerings or to improve the user experience.
Storage
Your personal data will be stored for as long as necessary to fulfil the purpose of the processing. This includes, in particular, the implementation and follow-up of the webinar and any related follow-up measures (e.g. provision of materials or follow-up contact).
The data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer required for these purposes or you withdraw your consent to processing, unless statutory retention obligations require longer storage.
We have no influence on the storage period of your data stored by the provider of GoToWebinar for its own purposes. Please refer to the GoToWebinar privacy policy for more information.
Order processing
We have concluded a contract for order processing (AVV) for the use of the above-mentioned service.
X. Competitions
We organise competitions in which interested parties can participate. Below, we provide information about how your personal data is processed in connection with these competitions.
The personal data you provide (such as your first name, last name, email address and, in the event of a win, your postal address) will be processed for the purpose of conducting the competition. This includes, in particular, determining and notifying the winner, as well as sending and delivering the prize.
The legal basis for the processing of your personal data is primarily Art. 6 para. 1 b) GDPR (for the implementation of pre-contractual measures or the fulfilment of a contract). If you have consented to data processing, we will process your personal data on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 a) GDPR (e.g. publication of the winner). Consent can be revoked at any time. The revocation of consent does not affect the lawfulness of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent until revocation. Finally, data may be processed to protect our legitimate interests in accordance with Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR, for example to preserve evidence or to defend against legal claims.
Personal data will only be made available to employees who are responsible for conducting the competition. Data will only be passed on to third parties if this is necessary for the execution of the contract or for the reasons stated above, e.g. your personal data will be passed on to the contracted shipping service provider.
Personal data will be stored for four weeks after the end of the competition and then deleted. The data may be stored beyond the end of the contract if this is necessary for the execution of the contract, for legal prosecution or defence or to fulfil legal storage obligations.
The provision of your personal data is necessary for participation in the competition. Without this data, participation is not possible.
