If, in the course of our processing, we disclose data to other persons and companies (processors, joint controllers, or third parties), transfer it to them, or otherwise grant them access to the data, this is only done on the basis of legal permission (e.g., if the transfer of data to third parties, such as payment service providers, is necessary for the fulfillment of a contract), users have consented, a legal obligation provides for this, 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, this is done in particular for administrative purposes as a legitimate interest and, beyond that, on a basis that complies with legal requirements.

Transfers to third countries

Cookies and right to object to direct marketing

“Cookies” are small files that are stored on users‘ computers. Various types of information can be stored in cookies. A cookie is primarily used to store information about a user (or the device on which the cookie is stored) during or after their visit to an online offering. Temporary cookies, or “session cookies” or “transient cookies,” are cookies that are deleted after a user leaves an online service and closes their browser. Such a cookie can store, for example, the contents of a shopping cart in an online shop or a login status. Cookies that remain stored even after the browser is closed are referred to as “permanent” or “persistent.” For example, the login status can be stored if users visit the site after several days. Such cookies can also store the interests of users, which are used for reach measurement or marketing purposes. Cookies that are offered by providers other than the controller operating the online service are referred to as “third-party cookies” (otherwise, if they are only the controller’s cookies, they are referred to as “first-party cookies”). We may use temporary and permanent cookies and provide information about this in our privacy policy.

If we ask users for their consent to the use of cookies (e.g., as part of a cookie consent process), the legal basis for this processing is Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR. Otherwise, the personal cookies of users are processed in accordance with the following explanations in this privacy policy on the basis of our legitimate interests (i.e., interest in the analysis, optimization, and economic operation of our online offering within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR GDPR) or if the use of cookies is necessary for the performance of our contractual services, pursuant to Art. 6 (1) lit. b. GDPR, or if the use of cookies is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority, pursuant to Art. 6 (1) lit. e. GDPR.

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

A general objection to the use of cookies for online marketing purposes can be declared for a large number of services, especially in the case of tracking, via the US website http://www.aboutads.info/choices/ or the EU website http://www.youronlinechoices.com/. Furthermore, the storage of cookies can be achieved by disabling them in the browser settings. Please note that in this case, not all functions of this online offer may be available.

Deletion of data

The data we process will be deleted or restricted in its processing in accordance with legal requirements. Unless expressly stated in this privacy policy, the data stored by us will be deleted as soon as it is no longer required for its intended purpose and there are no legal retention obligations that prevent deletion.

If the data is not deleted because it is required for other, legally permissible purposes, its processing will be restricted. This means that the data will be blocked and not processed for other purposes. This applies, for example, to data that must be retained for commercial or tax reasons. Changes and updates to the privacy policy We ask you to regularly review the content of our privacy policy. We will amend the privacy policy as soon as changes to the data processing we carry out make this necessary. We will inform you as soon as the changes require your cooperation (e.g., consent) or other individual notification.

Agency services

We process our customers‘ data 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 doing so, we process inventory data (e.g., customer master data such as names or addresses), contact data (e.g., email, telephone numbers), content data (e.g., text entries, photographs, videos), contract data (e.g., subject matter of the contract, term), payment data (e.g., bank details, payment history), usage and metadata (e.g., in the context of evaluating and measuring the success of marketing measures). We do not process special categories of personal data as a matter of principle, unless these are part of commissioned processing. The data subjects include our customers, interested parties and their customers, users, website visitors or employees, as well as third parties. The purpose of the processing is to provide contractual services, billing and our customer service. The legal basis for processing is Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR (contractual services), Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR (analysis, statistics, optimization, security measures). We process data that is necessary for the establishment and fulfillment of contractual services and point out the necessity of providing this data. Disclosure to external parties only takes place 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 for order processing in accordance with Art. 28 GDPR and do not process the data for any purposes other than those specified in the order.

We delete the data after the expiry of statutory warranty and comparable obligations. The necessity of storing the data is reviewed every three years; in the case of statutory archiving obligations, the data is deleted after their expiry (6 years, in accordance with Section 257 (1) HGB, 10 years, in accordance with Section 147 (1) AO). In the case of data disclosed to us by the client within the scope of an order, we delete the data in accordance with the specifications of the order, generally after the end of the order.

Contractual services

We process the data of our contractual partners and interested parties as well as other clients, customers, clients, or contractual partners (collectively referred to as “contractual partners”) in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. b. GDPR in order to provide them with our contractual or pre-contractual services. The data processed in this context, the type, scope, and purpose of the processing, and the necessity of the processing are determined by the underlying contractual relationship.

The data processed includes the master data of our contractual partners (e.g., names and addresses), contact details (e.g., email addresses and telephone numbers), contract data (e.g., services used, contract content, contractual communication, names of contact persons), and payment data (e.g., bank details, payment history).

We do not process special categories of personal data as a matter of principle, unless they are part of commissioned or contractual processing.

We process data that is necessary for the establishment and fulfillment of contractual services and point out the necessity of providing this data if it is not evident to the contractual partners. Disclosure to external persons or companies only takes place if it is necessary within the framework of a contract. When processing the data provided to us within the framework of an order, we act in accordance with the instructions of the client and the legal requirements.

When using our online services, we may store the IP address and the time of the respective user action. The storage is based on our legitimate interests, as well as the interests of users in protection against misuse and other unauthorized use. This data will not be passed on to third parties unless it is necessary to pursue our claims in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. f. GDPR or there is a legal obligation to do so in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. c. GDPR.

The data is deleted when it is no longer required for the fulfillment of contractual or statutory duties of care and for dealing with any warranty and comparable obligations, whereby the necessity of storing the data is reviewed every three years; otherwise, the statutory retention obligations apply.

Administration, financial accounting, office organization, contact management

We process data in the context of administrative tasks and the organization of our business, financial accounting, and compliance with legal obligations, such as archiving. In doing so, we process the same data that we process in the context of providing our contractual services. The basis for processing is Art. 6 (1) (c) GDPR, Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. Customers, interested parties, business partners, and website visitors are affected by the processing. The purpose and our interest in processing lies in administration, financial accounting, office organization, and data archiving, i.e., tasks that serve to maintain our business activities, perform our duties, and provide our services. The deletion of data with regard to contractual services and contractual communication corresponds to the information specified for these processing activities.

In this context, we disclose or transfer data to the tax authorities, consultants, such as tax advisors or auditors, as well as other fee collection agencies and payment service providers.

Furthermore, based on our business interests, we store information about suppliers, event organizers, and other business partners, e.g., for the purpose of contacting them at a later date. We generally store this data, most of which is company-related, on a permanent basis.

Business analyses and market research

In order to operate our business economically and to be able to identify market trends and the wishes of our contractual partners and users, we analyze the data available to us on business transactions, contracts, inquiries, etc. In doing so, we process inventory data, communication data, contract data, payment data, usage data, and metadata on the basis of Art. 6 (1) lit. f. GDPR, whereby the data subjects include contractual partners, interested parties, customers, visitors, and users of our online offering.

The analyses are carried out for the purposes of business evaluation, marketing, and market research. In doing so, we may take into account the profiles of registered users with information such as the services they have used. The analyses serve to increase user-friendliness, optimize our offering, and improve business efficiency. The analyses are for our use only and are not disclosed externally, unless they are anonymous analyses with summarized values.

If these analyses or profiles are personal, they are deleted or anonymized when the user terminates their account, or otherwise after two years from the conclusion of the contract. In addition, the overall business analyses and general trend determinations are created anonymously wherever possible.

Microsoft Cloud Services

We use the cloud and cloud software services (known as Software as a Service, e.g., Microsoft Office) offered by Microsoft for the following purposes: Document storage and management, calendar management, emailing, spreadsheets and presentations, sharing documents, content, and information with specific recipients, or publishing websites, forms, or other content and information, as well as chatting and participating in audio and video conferences.

In this context, users‘ personal data is processed to the extent that it becomes part of the documents and content processed within the described services or is part of communication processes. This may include, for example, users‘ master data and contact details, data on transactions, contracts, other processes, and their content. Microsoft also processes usage data and metadata, which Microsoft uses for security purposes and service optimization. When using publicly accessible documents, websites, or other content, Microsoft may store cookies on users‘ computers for web analysis purposes or to remember users‘ settings.

We use Microsoft Cloud Services on the basis of our legitimate interests pursuant to Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR in efficient and secure administrative and collaboration processes. Furthermore, processing is carried out on the basis of a data processing agreement with Microsoft.

Further information can be found in Microsoft’s privacy policy (https://privacy.microsoft.com/de-de/privacystatement) and the security information on Microsoft Cloud Services (https://www.microsoft.com/de-de/trustcenter). You can object to the processing of your data in the Microsoft Cloud in accordance with the legal requirements. Otherwise, the deletion of data within Microsoft’s cloud services is determined by the other processing processes in which the data is processed (e.g., deletion of data no longer required for contractual purposes or storage of data required for taxation purposes).

Microsoft Cloud Services are provided by Microsoft Corporation, One Microsoft Way, Redmond, WA 98052-6399 USA. Insofar as data is processed in the USA, we refer to Microsoft’s certification under the Privacy Shield (https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt0000000KzNaAAK&status=Active).

Contacting us

When contacting us (e.g. via contact form, email, telephone, or social media), the user’s details are processed for the purpose of handling the contact request and its processing in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (b) (within the framework of contractual/pre-contractual relationships), Art. 6 (1) lit. f. (other inquiries) GDPR. The user’s information may be stored in a customer relationship management system (“CRM system”) or comparable inquiry organization system.

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

Hosting and email dispatch

The hosting services we use serve to provide the following services: Infrastructure and platform services, computing capacity, storage space and database services, email delivery, security services, and technical maintenance services that we use for the purpose of operating this online offering.

In doing so, we or our hosting provider process inventory data, contact data, content data, contract data, usage data, meta and communication data from customers, interested parties, and visitors to this online offering on the basis of our legitimate interests in the efficient and secure provision of this online offering in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR in conjunction with Art. 28 GDPR (conclusion of a data processing agreement).

Collection of access data and log files

We, or our hosting provider, collect data about every access to the server on which this service is located (so-called server log files) on the basis of our legitimate interests within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) lit. f. GDPR. The access data includes the name of the website accessed, the file, the date and time of access, the amount of data transferred, notification of successful access, browser type and version, the user’s operating system, referrer URL (the previously visited page), IP address, and the requesting provider.

Log file information is stored for security reasons (e.g. to investigate misuse or fraud) for a maximum of 7 days and then deleted. Data that must be retained for evidentiary 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 online offer by the users 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 online offering by users, to compile reports on the activities within this online offering, and to provide us with other services related to the use of this online offering and the Internet. In doing so, pseudonymous user profiles can be created from the processed data.

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

The IP address transmitted by the user’s browser is not merged with other Google data. Users can prevent the storage of cookies by adjusting their browser software settings accordingly; users can also prevent Google from collecting the data generated by the cookie and relating to their use of the online service, as well as Google from processing this data, by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available at the following link: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de.

If we ask users for their consent (e.g. in the context of cookie consent), the legal basis for this processing is Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR. Otherwise, the personal data of users is processed on the basis of our legitimate interests (i.e., interest in the analysis, optimization, and economic operation of our online offering within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f. GDPR).

Insofar as data is processed in the USA, we would like to point out that Google is certified under the Privacy Shield Agreement and thereby guarantees compliance with European data protection law (https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt000000001L5AAI&status=Active).

For more information on Google’s use of data, settings, and options for objection, please refer to Google’s privacy policy (https://policies.google.com/privacy) and the settings for the display of advertisements by Google (https://adssettings.google.com/authenticated).

Users‘ personal data will be deleted or anonymized after 14 months.

Google Universal Analytics

We use Google Analytics in its “Universal Analytics” form. “Universal Analytics” refers to a Google Analytics process in which user analysis is based on a pseudonymous user ID, thereby creating a pseudonymous user profile with information from the use of various devices (known as “cross-device tracking”).

Target group formation with Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics to display ads placed within Google’s advertising services and those of its partners only to users who have shown an interest in our online offering or who have certain characteristics (e.g. interest in certain topics or products, which are determined based on the websites visited) that we transmit to Google (so-called “remarketing” or “Google Analytics Audiences”). With the help of remarketing audiences, we also want to ensure that our ads match the potential interests of users.

Google AdWords and conversion measurement

We use the online marketing method Google “AdWords” to place ads in the Google advertising network (e.g., in search results, in videos, on websites, etc.) so that they are displayed to users who are likely to be interested in the ads. This allows us to display ads for and within our online offering in a more targeted manner, so that users are only presented with ads that potentially match their interests. If, for example, a user is shown ads for products that they have shown interest in on other online offerings, this is referred to as “remarketing.” For these purposes, when our and other websites on which the Google advertising network is active are accessed, a code from Google is executed 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 (comparable technologies may also be used instead of cookies). This file records which websites the user has visited, what content they are interested in, and which offers the user has clicked on, as well as technical information about the browser and operating system, referring websites, visit time, and other information about the use of the online offering.

We also receive an individual “conversion cookie.” Google uses the information collected with the help of the cookie 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 tagged with a conversion tracking tag. However, we do not receive any information that can be used to personally identify users.

User data is processed pseudonymously within the Google advertising network. This means that Google does not store and process the name or email address of users, for example, but processes the relevant data in a cookie-related manner within pseudonymous user profiles. This means that, from Google’s perspective, the ads are not managed and displayed for a specifically identified person, but for the cookie owner, regardless of who that cookie owner is. This does not apply if a user has expressly allowed 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 consent (e.g. in the context of cookie consent), the legal basis for this processing is Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR. Otherwise, the personal data of users is processed on the basis of our legitimate interests (i.e., interest in the analysis, optimization, and economic operation of our online offering within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) lit. f. GDPR).

Insofar as data is processed in the USA, we would like to point out that Google is certified under the Privacy Shield Agreement and thereby guarantees compliance with European data protection law (https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt000000001L5AAI&status=Active).

For more information on Google’s use of data, settings, and options for objection, please refer to Google’s privacy policy (https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads) and the settings for the display of advertisements by Google (https://adssettings.google.com/authenticated).

Online presence on social media

We maintain an online presence on social networks and platforms in order to communicate with customers, interested parties, and users who are active there and to inform them about our services.

We would like to point out that user data may be processed outside the European Union in this context. This may result in risks for users, as it could, for example, make it more difficult to enforce user rights. With regard to US providers certified under the Privacy Shield, we would like to point out that they are committed to complying with EU data protection standards.

Furthermore, user data is generally processed for market research and advertising purposes. For example, usage profiles can be created from the usage behavior and resulting interests of users. The usage profiles can in turn be used, for example, to place advertisements within and outside the platforms that are presumed to correspond to the interests of the users. For these purposes, cookies are usually stored on the users‘ computers, in which the usage behavior and interests of the users are stored. Furthermore, data can also be stored in the usage profiles independently 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 users‘ personal data is based on our legitimate interests in effectively informing users and communicating with them in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR. If users are asked by the respective platform providers for consent to the data processing described above, the legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 (1) lit. a, Art. 7 GDPR.

For a detailed description of the respective processing operations and the options for objection (opt-out), we refer to the information provided by the providers linked below.

In the case of requests for information and the assertion of user rights, we would like to point out that these can be most effectively asserted with the providers. Only the providers have access to user data and can take appropriate measures and provide information directly. If you still need help, you can contact us.

Integration of third-party services and content

We use third-party content and services within our online offering on the basis of our legitimate interests (i.e., interest in the analysis, optimization, and economic operation of our online offering within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f. GDPR) content or service offerings from third-party providers in order to integrate their content and services, such as videos or fonts (hereinafter uniformly referred to as “content”).

This always requires that the third-party providers of this content perceive the IP address of the users, as they would not be able to send the content to their browsers without the IP address. The IP address is therefore necessary for the display of this content. We endeavor to use only content whose respective providers use the IP address solely for the delivery of the content. Third-party providers may also use so-called pixel tags (invisible graphics, also known as “web beacons”) for statistical or marketing purposes. Pixel tags can be used to evaluate information such as visitor traffic on the pages of this website. The pseudonymous information may also be stored in cookies on the user’s device and may include technical information about the browser and operating system, referring websites, visit time, and other information about the use of our online offering, and may be linked to such information from other sources.

YouTube

We embed videos from the YouTube platform provided by 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 maps from the “Google Maps” service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. The data processed may include, in particular, IP addresses and location data of users, which, however, are not collected without their consent (usually given in the settings of their mobile devices).

We integrate maps from the “OpenStreetMap” service (https://www.openstreetmap.de), which are offered by the OpenStreetMap Foundation (OSMF) under the Open Data Commons Open Database License (ODbL). Privacy policy: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Privacy_Policy.

To the best of our knowledge, OpenStreetMap uses user data exclusively for the purpose of displaying map functions and temporarily storing the selected settings. This data may include, in particular, IP addresses and location data of users, which, however, are not collected without their consent (usually given in the settings of their mobile devices).

The data may be processed in the USA. Further information can be found in OpenStreetMap’s privacy policy: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Privacy_Policy.
