Description and scope of data processing

Provision of the website and log files


Each time our website is accessed, our system, i.e. the web server, automatically collects information from the system of your accessing computer or device.
We collect the following data:

  • Information about the browser type and version used
  • the operating system of the terminal device
  • the internet service provider
  • the IP address
  • Date and time of access
  • the previous website from which the user accessed our website (referrer URL)

Purpose of data processing

The temporary storage of your IP address by our system is necessary to deliver the website to your device. For this purpose, the IP address of your device must necessarily be stored for the duration of your session. The storage of the aforementioned data in so-called log files is carried out to ensure the functionality of our website. This data also helps us to optimize the website and to guarantee the security of our IT systems (e.g., for attack detection).

Legal basis

The legal basis for the temporary storage of this data and the log files is Art. 6 para. 1 subpara. 1 lit. f GDPR (legitimate interests of us as website operators in the secure, trouble-free and legally compliant provision of the website).

Storage duration

The data mentioned above will be deleted as soon as it is no longer required for the purpose for which it was collected. In the case of data collected for the provision of the website, this is the case when the respective session has ended.
If data is stored in log files, this occurs after a maximum of 14 days. Storage beyond this period is possible. In this case, the user's IP address is deleted or anonymized by us so that it is no longer possible to identify the requesting client and the data no longer contains any personal information.

Session cookies


To ensure certain functions in some areas of our websites, it may be technically necessary to use so-called session cookies. These are data records (strings of characters) that are temporarily stored on your device.

Purpose of data processing

Session cookies are used to recognize a browser even after a page change. The data is not used to analyze user behavior.

Legal basis

The legal basis for the storage of session cookies is Art. 6 para. 1 subpara. 1 lit. f GDPR in conjunction with § 25 para. 2 no. 2 TTDSG (our legitimate interest in providing certain functions on our websites).

Storage duration

Session cookies are deleted when the browser is closed.

Our website uses a so-called consent banner to obtain your consent to the storage of certain cookies on your device or the use of certain technologies. The provider of this tool is Usercentrics A/S, Havnegade 39, 1058 Copenhagen, Denmark (hereinafter referred to as "Cookiebot").
When you visit our website, a connection is established to Cookiebot's servers. Cookiebot then stores a cookie in your browser to associate your given consent or its revocation with you.

a) Purpose of processing

The Cookiebot consent banner is used to obtain and document your consent and other declarations regarding cookie usage in compliance with data protection regulations.

b) Legal basis

The legal basis is our legitimate interest in operating our web services in compliance with data protection law, specifically the obtaining and legally required documentation of consents, Art. 6 para. 1 subpara. 1 lit. c, f in conjunction with Art. 5 para. 2 GDPR.

c) Storage duration

The collected data will be stored until you request its deletion, delete the Cookiebot cookie yourself, or the purpose for data storage no longer applies. Mandatory legal retention obligations remain unaffected.

b) Legal basis

The legal basis for processing this data, which is transmitted in the course of sending an inquiry, is Art. 6 para. 1 subpara. 1 lit. f GDPR (legitimate, aligned interest of us as the controller in communicating with the person transmitting the message).
If the request aims at concluding or fulfilling a contract, the legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 subpara. 1 lit. b GDPR (performance of a contract or pre-contractual measures for this purpose).

c) Duration of storage

The aforementioned data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer required for the purpose for which it was collected. For personal data transmitted via email or the contact form, this is the case when the respective conversation with the user has ended. A conversation is generally considered ended when it is clear from the circumstances that the matter in question has been conclusively resolved. However, longer retention periods may apply, particularly in the case of the preparation or execution of contracts, due to legal reasons and statutory requirements (e.g., tax law).

d) Right to object

You can view Google's data privacy policy here: https://policies.google.com/privacy
On some of our web pages, we also directly embed videos stored on YouTube. This embedding displays content from the YouTube website within a portion of a browser window. This technique is also known as "framing." The YouTube videos are only accessed by clicking on them separately. When you visit a (sub)page of our website where YouTube videos are embedded in this way, a connection is established to the YouTube servers, and the content is then displayed by being transmitted to your browser. For technical reasons, this process necessarily involves processing your IP address and other IT traffic and usage data to enable the delivery of the content to your device. This information cannot generally be associated with you personally (apart from the possibility of identification via the IP address), unless you are logged into YouTube or another Google service before or while visiting the page. When YouTube content is activated and displayed on the pages and apps, small data files, known as cookies, are also stored on your device. This is done to record which of our web pages you have visited in order to access the respective video.

Purpose of processing

The purpose of the processing is to create an appealing design for our website and to inform visitors through video content.

Legal basis


Our legitimate interest in embedding YouTube content generally lies in making the content available to you in order to design our website in an appealing way. The legal basis for embedding the content is therefore generally Article 6(1)(f) GDPR.
In this context, we explicitly point out that it cannot be ruled out that personal data, particularly by Google's parent company, may also be processed in the USA and that US authorities or services may gain access to personal data. Although we have implemented appropriate technical and organizational measures, such as the agreement of Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) approved by the EU Commission, we would also like to point out that, as things stand, there is no level of data protection in the USA, as a so-called third country, comparable to the standards of the European Union, and you do not have comparable legal remedies available to you.
For data transfers to the USA, the provider has joined the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, which legitimizes the data transfer on the basis of an adequacy decision by the European Commission pursuant to Art. 45 GDPR.
Even if we use YouTube in the so-called "NoCookie" version, it cannot be ruled out that Google may load external services onto your device, e.g., for displaying fonts or graphic elements, which may allow conclusions to be drawn about your device.
The legal basis for storing cookies in this context is your consent, which you gave us via our consent banner or by clicking on the respective preview image before the video, Art. 6 para. 1 subpara. 1 lit. a GDPR, § 25 para. 1 TTDSG. You can revoke this consent at any time with effect for the future. The collected data will be deleted immediately as soon as the purpose of the processing no longer applies and there are no other legal grounds to the contrary.

Zendesk - Customer Support


To offer you comprehensive customer service, we use the web-based software platform "Zendesk" for communication with you, for example when you contact us by email or via our contact forms on the websites.

In addition to us as website operators, your data will also be processed in this context by the company Zendesk, Inc., 989 Market Street #300, San Francisco, CA 94102, USA as a data processor.
For this purpose, we collect your name, email address, and the content of each communication (text content), as well as any files you may optionally transmit. Furthermore, we process the IT usage data technically necessary for communication (e.g., IP address). We have concluded a data processing agreement with Zendesk, Inc. in accordance with Articles 28 and 44 et seq. of the GDPR, which guarantees the data protection-compliant processing of the data you provide. Zendesk, Inc. also has binding corporate rules (BCRs) approved by the relevant supervisory authority pursuant to Article 47 of the GDPR. Information on the security of your data processing by Zendesk, Inc. (in English) can be found here: https://www.zendesk.com/product/zendesk-security/

For data transfers to the USA, the provider has joined the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, which legitimizes the data transfer on the basis of an adequacy decision by the European Commission pursuant to Art. 45 GDPR.

Purpose of processing

The purpose of the processing is to communicate with prospective customers, customers and other persons in order to answer inquiries or provide support services (helpdesk service).
For statistical analysis purposes, we sometimes evaluate data in pseudonymized form (generally not personally identifiable) in order to optimize our customer service for you.

Legal basis

The legal basis for processing your data is our legitimate interest in legally and technically secure and efficient communication with you as a communication partner, pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 subpara. 1 lit. f GDPR. If the content of the communication serves the purpose of initiating or carrying out contractual relationships, this is done on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 subpara. 1 lit. b GDPR.

Storage period / Deletion periods

Your data will only be stored for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes (e.g., answering your request) and will then be deleted.
This is generally the case if the content of the communication shows that your request has been fully and conclusively clarified or answered, and no further requirements for storage arise from the course of communication (e.g., contractual or legal).

Right to object

You can also request the deletion of your data at any time, unless there are legal or other legal reasons to the contrary.

Description and scope of data processing

Provision of the website and log files


Each time our website is accessed, our system, i.e. the web server, automatically collects information from the system of your accessing computer or device.
We collect the following data:

  • Information about the browser type and version used
  • the operating system of the terminal device
  • the internet service provider
  • the IP address
  • Date and time of access
  • the previous website from which the user accessed our website (referrer URL)

Purpose of data processing

The temporary storage of your IP address by our system is necessary to deliver the website to your device. For this purpose, the IP address of your device must necessarily be stored for the duration of your session. The storage of the aforementioned data in so-called log files is carried out to ensure the functionality of our website. This data also helps us to optimize the website and to guarantee the security of our IT systems (e.g., for attack detection).

Legal basis

The legal basis for the temporary storage of this data and the log files is Art. 6 para. 1 subpara. 1 lit. f GDPR (legitimate interests of us as website operators in the secure, trouble-free and legally compliant provision of the website).

Storage duration

The data mentioned above will be deleted as soon as it is no longer required for the purpose for which it was collected. In the case of data collected for the provision of the website, this is the case when the respective session has ended.
If data is stored in log files, this occurs after a maximum of 14 days. Storage beyond this period is possible. In this case, the user's IP address is deleted or anonymized by us so that it is no longer possible to identify the requesting client and the data no longer contains any personal information.

Session cookies


To ensure certain functions in some areas of our websites, it may be technically necessary to use so-called session cookies. These are data records (strings of characters) that are temporarily stored on your device.

Purpose of data processing

Session cookies are used to recognize a browser even after a page change. The data is not used to analyze user behavior.

Legal basis

The legal basis for the storage of session cookies is Art. 6 para. 1 subpara. 1 lit. f GDPR in conjunction with § 25 para. 2 no. 2 TTDSG (our legitimate interest in providing certain functions on our websites).

Storage duration

Session cookies are deleted when the browser is closed.

Consent via Cookiebot (“cookie banner”)


Our website uses a so-called consent banner to obtain your consent to the storage of certain cookies on your device or the use of certain technologies. The provider of this tool is Usercentrics A/S, Havnegade 39, 1058 Copenhagen, Denmark (hereinafter referred to as "Cookiebot").
When you visit our website, a connection is established to Cookiebot's servers. Cookiebot then stores a cookie in your browser to associate your given consent or its revocation with you.

a) Purpose of processing

The Cookiebot consent banner is used to obtain and document your consent and other declarations regarding cookie usage in compliance with data protection regulations.

b) Legal basis

The legal basis is our legitimate interest in operating our web services in compliance with data protection law, specifically the obtaining and legally required documentation of consents, Art. 6 para. 1 subpara. 1 lit. c, f in conjunction with Art. 5 para. 2 GDPR.

c) Storage duration

The collected data will be stored until you request its deletion, delete the Cookiebot cookie yourself, or the purpose for data storage no longer applies. Mandatory legal retention obligations remain unaffected.

Email and contact form


You can contact us via our contact form and the provided email addresses. In this case, the sender's personal data transmitted with the request (in any case, the name and email address) will be processed along with the content of the message.

a) Purpose of processing

We process this personal data to handle the content of your contact request.

b) Legal basis

The legal basis for processing this data, which is transmitted in the course of sending an inquiry, is Art. 6 para. 1 subpara. 1 lit. f GDPR (legitimate, aligned interest of us as the controller in communicating with the person transmitting the message).
If the request aims at concluding or fulfilling a contract, the legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 subpara. 1 lit. b GDPR (performance of a contract or pre-contractual measures for this purpose).

c) Duration of storage

The aforementioned data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer required for the purpose for which it was collected. For personal data transmitted via email or the contact form, this is the case when the respective conversation with the user has ended. A conversation is generally considered ended when it is clear from the circumstances that the matter in question has been conclusively resolved. However, longer retention periods may apply, particularly in the case of the preparation or execution of contracts, due to legal reasons and statutory requirements (e.g., tax law).

d) Right to object

As a user, you have the right to object to data processing at any time with effect for the future. In this case, all personal data stored during the contact process will be deleted immediately, unless statutory retention periods or other legal reasons prevent this.

Furthermore, targeted ads can be displayed based on user data held by Microsoft (e.g., location data and interests) (audience targeting). As website operators, we can quantitatively evaluate this data by, for example, analyzing which search terms led to the display of our ads and how many ads resulted in clicks.
We use Microsoft Advertising's Universal Event Tracking (UET) on this page. This involves collecting pseudonymized data to track your actions on our website after clicking on a Microsoft Advertising ad. UET collects your IP address (anonymized), device identifiers, information about device and browser settings, Microsoft Click ID (stored in a cookie), time spent on the website, which areas of the website were accessed, which ad led you to the website, and clicked keywords.

LinkedIn Insight Tag (analytics and advertising)


This website uses the LinkedIn Insight Tag. The provider of this service is LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company, Wilton Plaza, Wilton Place, Dublin 2, Ireland.

Purpose of processing


Using the LinkedIn Insight Tag, we receive information about visitors to our website. If a website visitor is registered with LinkedIn, we can analyze their professional profile (e.g., career level, company size, country, location, industry, and job title) and thus better tailor our site to the respective target groups. Furthermore, we can use
LinkedIn Insight Tags help us measure whether visitors to our website make a purchase or take another action (conversion tracking). Conversion tracking can also be performed across devices (e.g., from PC to tablet). LinkedIn Insight Tags also offer a retargeting function, which allows us to display targeted advertising to visitors of our website outside of our site. According to LinkedIn, this does not involve identifying the individual recipient of the advertisement.
LinkedIn itself also collects so-called log files (URL, referrer URL, IP address, device and browser characteristics, and time of access). The IP addresses are shortened or (if used to reach LinkedIn members across devices) hashed (pseudonymized). The direct identifiers of LinkedIn members are deleted by LinkedIn after seven days. The remaining pseudonymized data is then deleted within 180 days.
The data collected by LinkedIn cannot be linked to specific individuals by us as website operators. LinkedIn will store the collected personal data of 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 .
Objection to the use of LinkedIn Insight Tag.
You can opt out of LinkedIn's analysis of user behavior and targeted advertising via 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 with your LinkedIn account, you must log out of your LinkedIn account before visiting our website.
