1.5

When you con­tact us by e‑mail, phone or using the con­tact form, we store the data you pro­vide (name, con­tact details) in order to answer your ques­tions about the ser­vices we offer. We delete the data col­lect­ed in this con­text once the pur­pos­es of the pro­cess­ing have ceased to apply, or if there are legal oblig­a­tions to retain them we restrict data pro­cess­ing.

1.6

Fur­ther data may be gath­ered and processed by the ser­vices we use if you give your con­sent. You can find out more about this in sec­tion 6.

2. Purposes of data processing

The pro­cess­ing of data in accor­dance with sec­tion 1.4 serves exclu­sive­ly to ensure the func­tion­al­i­ty and user-friend­li­ness of the web­site. It is thus car­ried out with­in the frame­work of a legit­i­mate inter­est pur­sued by us (Art. 6 para. 1f) GDPR). These data are not col­lect­ed or eval­u­at­ed for any oth­er pur­pos­es.

The pro­cess­ing of data pur­suant to sec­tion 1.5 is car­ried out for the pur­pose of tak­ing steps pri­or to enter­ing into a con­tract and/or for the per­for­mance of the con­tract (Art. 6 para. 1b) GDPR).

The pro­cess­ing of data pur­suant to sec­tion 1.6 is car­ried out with your con­sent (Art. 6 para. 1a) GDPR)

3. Recipients or categories of recipients of your data

With­in our com­pa­ny your data is passed on to those inter­nal bod­ies or orga­ni­za­tion­al units that need it to ful­fil our con­trac­tu­al and legal oblig­a­tions, or in the con­text of pro­cess­ing and imple­ment­ing our legit­i­mate inter­ests. Your data will only be passed on to exter­nal bod­ies

inso­far as exter­nal ser­vice com­pa­nies process data on our behalf by pro­cess­ing orders or tak­ing over func­tions (e.g. exter­nal data cen­tres, support/maintenance of IT appli­ca­tions, archiv­ing, web­site man­age­ment (design, main­te­nance and fur­ther devel­op­ment), data dis­pos­al com­pa­nies)

on the basis of our legit­i­mate inter­ests or those of the third par­ty for the pur­pos­es men­tioned in sec­tion 2 (e.g. affil­i­at­ed com­pa­nies)

if you have con­sent­ed to the trans­fer of data to third par­ties.

Oth­er­wise we will not pass your data on to third par­ties. Inso­far as we com­mis­sion ser­vice providers with­in the scope of order pro­cess­ing, your data are sub­ject to the same secu­ri­ty stan­dards there as they are with us. In oth­er cas­es, recip­i­ents may use the data only for the pur­pos­es for which it was trans­mit­ted to them.

4. Retention period

Unless oth­er­wise stat­ed, we process and store your per­son­al data for as long as we con­sid­er it nec­es­sary for the pur­pos­es for which they are processed. In addi­tion, we are sub­ject to var­i­ous statu­to­ry doc­u­men­ta­tion oblig­a­tions and reten­tion peri­ods. We delete your data as soon as they are no longer required, and in any case when the max­i­mum reten­tion peri­od pre­scribed by law has expired.

5. Use of cookies

As well as the ser­vices explained in sec­tion 6 if you have giv­en your con­sent, we also use cook­ies on our web­site.

These are small files that are installed on your com­put­er or mobile device when you vis­it our web­site and are retained by them for lat­er retrieval. These files iden­ti­fy your com­put­er as a tech­ni­cal unit when you vis­it our web­site, mak­ing it eas­i­er for you to use our ser­vices, includ­ing repeat vis­its.

Cook­ies do not allow a serv­er to read pri­vate data from your com­put­er, or data stored by anoth­er serv­er. Cook­ies cause no dam­age to your com­put­er and do not con­tain virus­es.

As cook­ies improve the func­tion­ing of our web­site, they are nec­es­sary to pro­tect our legit­i­mate inter­ests.

You have the option of set­ting your inter­net brows­er to noti­fy you of the use of cook­ies so that you can allow or exclude them. You can also delete exist­ing cook­ies. Please note that indi­vid­ual web­site func­tions may not work if you have deac­ti­vat­ed the use of cook­ies.

Infor­ma­tion on how to change cook­ie set­tings can be found on your brows­er provider’s web­site:

6. Available services

6.1 Google Ads / Conversion Tracking

Our web­sites use Google Ads and, with­in the frame­work of Google AdWords, Con­ver­sion Track­ing – an ana­lyt­i­cal ser­vice pro­vid­ed by Google Ire­land Lim­it­ed, Gor­don House, Bar­row Street, Dublin 4, Ire­land (“Google”).

We our­selves do not col­lect or process any per­son­al data in the course of the afore­men­tioned adver­tis­ing activ­i­ty. We receive only sta­tis­ti­cal eval­u­a­tions from Google, which enable us to iden­ti­fy which adver­tis­ing activ­i­ties are par­tic­u­lar­ly effec­tive. We receive no fur­ther data from the use of adver­tis­ing tools. In par­tic­u­lar, this infor­ma­tion does not enable us to iden­ti­fy you. The mar­ket­ing tools used auto­mat­i­cal­ly estab­lish a direct con­nec­tion between your brows­er and the Google serv­er.

The pro­cess­ing of data pur­suant to sec­tion 1.5 is car­ried out with your con­sent (Art. 6 para. 1a) GDPR)

Right of revo­ca­tion

You have the right to revoke your con­sent at any time with effect for the future. No rea­sons need be giv­en.

If you do not agree to the future trans­mis­sion of your data to Google in the con­text of the use of our web­sites, you have the option of deac­ti­vat­ing Google Ads in your brows­er set­tings (see sec­tion 5 above). Fur­ther­more, you have the option of object­ing to inter­est-based adver­tis­ing by Google by going to https://adssettings.google.com and select­ing your set­tings. In this case it is pos­si­ble that not all of our web­site func­tions will be ful­ly avail­able to you.

You can find fur­ther infor­ma­tion on Google’s data pro­tec­tion at https://policies.google.com/.

You are not oblig­ed to pro­vide your per­son­al data. There is no legal or con­trac­tu­al require­ment to pro­vide these data, nor are they need­ed to con­clude con­tracts. How­ev­er, fail­ing to pro­vide such data could result in your being unable to use our web­site to its full extent or at all.

6.2 Google Analytics

Our web­sites use Google Ana­lyt­ics, pro­vid­ed by Google Ire­land Lim­it­ed, Gor­don House, Bar­row Street, Dublin 4, Ire­land (“Google”). Google Ana­lyt­ics uses cook­ies that enable your use of our web­sites to be eval­u­at­ed (includ­ing your IP address). The infor­ma­tion gen­er­at­ed by cook­ies is trans­ferred to a Google serv­er, pos­si­bly in the USA or in anoth­er third coun­try, and stored there. Fur­ther infor­ma­tion can be found at https://policies.google.com/privacy/frameworks?gl=de.

The IP anonymiza­tion func­tion has been acti­vat­ed on our web­sites. This means that your IP address is trun­cat­ed by Google before any trans­mis­sion to the USA, so that per­son­al iden­ti­fi­ca­tion can be ruled out.

The pro­cess­ing of data pur­suant to sec­tion 1.5 is car­ried out with your con­sent (Art. 6 para. 1 a) GDPR)

Right of revo­ca­tion

You have the right to revoke your con­sent at any time with effect for the future. No rea­sons need be giv­en.

If you do not agree to the future trans­mis­sion of your data to Google in the con­text of the use of our web­sites, you have the option of com­plete­ly deac­ti­vat­ing Google Ana­lyt­ics in your brows­er set­tings (see sec­tion 5 above). Data pro­cess­ing by Google can also be pre­vent­ed by using a brows­er add-on to deac­ti­vate Google Ana­lyt­ics. Fur­ther infor­ma­tion and the add-on can be found at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en. 

In this case it is pos­si­ble that not all of our web­site func­tions will be ful­ly avail­able to you.

You can find fur­ther infor­ma­tion on data pro­tec­tion at Google Ana­lyt­ics at https://www.policies.google.com.

You are not oblig­ed to pro­vide your per­son­al data. There is no legal or con­trac­tu­al require­ment to pro­vide these data, nor are they need­ed to con­clude con­tracts. How­ev­er, fail­ing to pro­vide such data could result in your being unable to use our web­site to its full extent or at all.

7. Social media services

On our web­site we refer to our pres­ence on the LinkedIn and YouTube social media plat­forms. We do not use plug-ins, only a link via cor­re­spond­ing but­tons.

Per­son­al data may be trans­mit­ted to these social media plat­forms when you vis­it our pres­ence on them.

If you are logged in to the social media plat­form with your per­son­al user account when vis­it­ing a social media site, the provider of the social media plat­form may be able to asso­ciate the vis­it with your user account. You can pre­vent this by log­ging out of your social media user account before vis­it­ing our social media sites.

It is also pos­si­ble that, in addi­tion to the spe­cif­ic data entered by you on this social media plat­form, fur­ther infor­ma­tion will also be processed by the provider (e.g. the brows­er ver­sion used by you, your proces­sor type, plug-ins and your IP address).

Please note that user data may also be trans­ferred to servers in a third coun­try, which may include coun­tries with­out an ade­quate lev­el of data pro­tec­tion, and may there­fore be processed out­side the Euro­pean Union and the Euro­pean Eco­nom­ic Area (EEA).

Fur­ther infor­ma­tion on the pur­pose and scope of the col­lec­tion and pro­cess­ing of data by the provider of the social media plat­form, as well as on your rights and set­tings options for pro­tect­ing your pri­va­cy, can be found in the fol­low­ing social media plat­form terms and con­di­tions:

LinkedIn (LinkedIn Ire­land Unlim­it­ed Com­pa­ny, Wilton Plaza, Wilton Place, Dublin 2, Ire­land) Pri­va­cy pol­i­cy: https://www.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy

8. Your data privacy rights

If the legal pre­con­di­tions are met, you can assert your data pri­va­cy rights against us.

You are enti­tled, for exam­ple, to receive infor­ma­tion from us about the data we store about you.

On your request, we will cor­rect the data we hold about you if they are inac­cu­rate or incor­rect.

We will delete your data if you wish, unless oth­er legal pro­vi­sions (e.g. statu­to­ry reten­tion oblig­a­tions or restric­tions) or an over­rid­ing inter­est on our part (e.g. for the defence of our rights and claims) pre­vent us from doing so.

Tak­ing account of the legal pre­con­di­tions, you can ask us to restrict the pro­cess­ing of your data.

Fur­ther­more, you can object to your data being processed, in which case we must stop doing so. This right of objec­tion only applies in the case of very spe­cial per­son­al cir­cum­stances, how­ev­er, where­by there may be a pos­si­ble con­flict with the rights of our com­pa­ny.

You also have the right to receive your data in a struc­tured, com­mon and machine-read­able for­mat, or to trans­fer them to a third par­ty.

Fur­ther­more, you have the right to revoke your con­sent to the pro­cess­ing of per­son­al data at any time with effect for the future.

You also have the right to file a com­plaint with the com­pe­tent data pro­tec­tion super­vi­so­ry author­i­ty if you believe that your data are not being processed law­ful­ly.

Requests to exer­cise your rights should be addressed to us, in writ­ing if pos­si­ble.
