2.     Data security

We secure our website and other systems against loss, destruction, access, modification or distribution of your data by unauthorised persons through technical and organisational measures. The access to customer accounts is only possible after entering a user ID and a personal password. You should always treat your access data confidentially and log out of your customer/consultant account and close the browser window when you have finished communicating with us, especially if you share your computer with others.

With regards to the access to our website, data that may allow identification (e.g. IP address) is temporarily stored on our servers for the purposes of data and system security, but generally not for more than 30 days. The processing of possibly personal data for purposes of data and system security is carried out on the basis of the first sentence of Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR and our legitimate interest in protecting our systems and preventing misuse.

3.     Principles regarding storage and deletion of personal data 

Personal data shall only be processed for the period required to achieve the purpose of said processing, or if this is provided for in laws or regulations applicable to our company (e.g. commercial or tax storage obligations). If the storage purpose no longer applies, or if a legally stipulated storage period expires, the personal data concerned shall be routinely deleted in accordance with the statutory provisions or their processing shall be restricted, e.g. restricted processing within the scope of commercial or tax law storage obligations.

The processing of personal data on the basis of a legal obligation, namely the fulfilment of legal storage obligations, is based on the first sentence of Article 6(1)(c) of the GDPR. As far as personal data are processed for purposes of preserving evidence pursuant to the first sentence of Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR, these processing purposes expire after the statutory limitation periods; the ordinary statutory limitation period shall be three years.

– IP address

– Date and time of access

– Time zone difference compared to Greenwich Mean Time (GMT)

2.     Cookies

Our website uses cookies. Cookies are small text files that are stored on a computer system by means of an Internet browser. 

A large number of websites and servers use cookies. Cookies contain a so-called “cookie ID”. This ID is a unique identifier of the cookie and consists of a string of characters through which websites and servers can be assigned to a specific Internet browser, in which the cookie has been stored. Such cookies make it possible to distinguish your individual browser from other Internet browsers that contain different cookies. A particular Internet browser can therefore be recognised and identified by means of a unique cookie ID.   

By using cookies, we are able to provide you with more user-friendly services which would not be possible without the setting of cookies or only to a limited extent. Therefore, cookies enable us to recognise the users of our Internet website. The purpose of this recognition is to make it easier for users of our online service to use it. An illustrative example is the shopping basket feature that you can find in the online shop. If you shop on a website, a cookie allows the shopping basket to "remember" the items the user has added to his/her virtual shopping basket during a session. 

The use of cookies is carried out on the basis of the first sentence of Article 6(1)(f). In this regard, our legitimate interest lies in the provision and optimisation of a functional and easy to operate online offering. If cookies are used for analysis or tracking purposes (see point 3), we also follow precautionary consent concept (first sentence of Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR), using “cookie banners”.  

You can prevent the setting of cookies by means of an appropriate setting of your Internet browser and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Furthermore, you can also delete cookies that have already been set via an Internet browser or other software programs. However, please note that if you deactivate the setting of cookies in your Internet browser, you may not be able to use all the functions of our online offering.

3.     Web Analytics    

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc. (“Google”). Google Analytics uses “cookies”, which are text files placed on your computer, to help the website analyse how you use the website. For information on the type, scope and function of cookies in general, refer to the general explanations on cookies given above. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website will usually be transmitted to and stored by Google on a server in the United States. However, in case of activation of the IP anonymisation on this website, your IP address will be truncated beforehand by Google within Member States of the European Union or other in other Contracting States to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases is the complete IP address transmitted to a Google server in the USA and truncated there.  

This website uses Google Analytics with the extension “_anonymizeIp()”. With this extension, IP addresses are truncated for further processing in order to prevent direct association to a specific person. If the data collected about you contains any references to a specific person, this is immediately excluded and the personal data is immediately deleted. 

On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports about website activities and to provide the operator of the website with further services associated with website and internet use. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics is not merged with other data from Google. 

We use Google Analytics to analyse and regularly improve the use of our website. The statistics obtained allow us to improve our offering and make it more interesting for you as a user. Our legitimate interest in data processing also lies in these purposes.

The data sent by us and linked to cookies will be automatically deleted after 14 months. For the exceptional cases in which personal data is transferred to the USA, Google has submitted to the EU-US Privacy Shield  https://www.privacyshield.gov/EU-US-Framework.    

You may refuse the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser, however please note that if you do this, you may not be able to use the full functionality of this website. You can also prevent Google from collecting the cookie-generated data concerning your use of the website (including your IP address) and from processing this data by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available under the following link: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de.    

As an alternative to the browser plug-in, especially for browsers on mobile devices, you can prevent Google Analytics from collecting data by clicking here [link]. By clicking on the link, an "opt-out cookie" is set, which prevents the future collection of your data when you visit this website. Please note that if you remove the cookies stored in your browser, the Google Analytics deactivation cookie for this website will also be deleted. Furthermore, if you use a different computer, mobile device or web browser, you will need to repeat the deactivation process.

4.     YouTube

We use the video-sharing platform “YouTube” on our website in order to integrate their videos and make them available to you on our website. In order for third party providers such as YouTube or Google to be able to show you the videos on our website, they need to recognise your IP address, since they send the respective data to the browser of your IP address. In this context, we endeavour to transmit only data as is absolutely necessary for the delivery of the content. This is legally based on the first sentence of Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. Our legitimate interest within the meaning of this regulation lies in the delivery and presentation of the contents offered on our website. Privacy statement from:    https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/.

5.     Facebook Social Plugins 

Our website uses social plug-ins (“plug-ins”) of the social network facebook.com, which is operated by Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland (“Facebook”). This is legally based on the first sentence of Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in the analysis and optimisation of our offering.

If a user calls up a feature on this website that contains the plug-in, the respective device establishes a direct connection with Facebook servers. The content of the plug-in is transmitted directly from Facebook to the user's device and integrated by the latter into the online offering. In this case, usage profiles of the users can be created from the processed data. Please note that we have no influence on the amount of data that Facebook collects with the help of this plug-in and therefore hereby inform the users according to our level of knowledge. By integrating the plug-ins, Facebook receives the information that a user has called up the corresponding page of the online offering. If the user is logged in to Facebook, Facebook can assign the visit to his/her Facebook account. By clicking on the Facebook logo (white “f” on a blue background), the corresponding information is transmitted from the device directly to Facebook and stored there. This enables the user to share our website with his/her friends in his/her Facebook account. If a user is not a member of Facebook, there is still the possibility that Facebook can find out his/her IP address and save it. According to Facebook, only an anonymous IP address is stored in Germany.

Further information, in particular on the purpose and scope of the data collection and the further processing and use of the data by Facebook, as well as the related rights and setting options to protect the privacy of the users, can be found in Facebook's privacy notices: https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/.

We would like to point out that if a user is a Facebook member and does not want Facebook to collect data about him/her via our online offering and link it with his/her member data stored on Facebook, he/she must log out of Facebook before using our online offerings and delete his/her cookies. Further settings and objections regarding the use of data for advertising purposes are possible within Facebook’s profile settings, which can be viewed here: https://www.facebook.com/settings?tab=ads or via the USA page http://www.aboutads.info/choices/ or EU page http://www.youronlinechoices.com/Please note that the settings are platform-independent, that is, they are applied to all devices, such as desktop computers or mobile devices.

Facebook is certified under the Privacy Shield Agreement and thus offers a guarantee of compliance with the European data protection law (https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt0000000GnywAAC&status=Active).

6.     Twitter 

The features and contents of the social networking service Twitter, offered by Twitter Inc., 1355 Market Street, Suite 900, San Francisco, CA 94103, USA are integrated on our website. This is legally based on the first sentence of Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in the analysis and optimisation of our offering.

In particular, the Twitter button (recognisable by the Twitter logo: stylised white bird on a light blue background) is one of the features with which the user — who is a member of the Twitter platform — can share our website on his/her Twitter account. We would like to point out that if the user is a member of the Twitter platform, Twitter can assign the call of the above-mentioned contents and features to the profiles of the users therein.
