Our privacy policy is intended to be simple and understandable for everyone. In this privacy policy, we generally use the official terms of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). The official definitions are explained in Art. 4 GDPR.
By using our website, access to information (e.g., IP address) or storage of
information (e.g., cookies) on your terminal equipment may occur. This access
or storage may involve further processing of personal data within the meaning
of the GDPR.
In cases where such access to information or storage of information is absolutely
necessary for the technically error-free provision of our services, this is done
on the basis of § 25 (1) sentence 1, (2) no. 2 TTDSG.
In cases where such a process serves other purposes (e.g., the user-friendly design
of our website), this is done on the basis of § 25 (1) TTDSG only with your consent
in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR. Consent can be revoked at any time for
the future. The processing of your personal data is subject to the provisions of
the GDPR and the Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG).
For further information on the processing of your personal data and the relevant
legal bases in this context, please refer to the following sections on specific
processing activities on our website.
This website is hosted by an external service provider (host). The hosting of
this website takes place in Germany and in France. Personal data collected on
this website is stored on the servers of the host. This may include, in
particular, IP addresses, contact requests, meta and communication data,
website access, and other data generated via a website.
We collect the listed data to ensure smooth connection establishment of the website
and technically error-free provision of our services. The processing of this data
is absolutely necessary to provide you with the website. The legal basis for the
processing of data is our legitimate interest in the correct presentation and functionality
of our website in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR.
We have concluded a data processing agreement with the provider in accordance with
the requirements of Art. 28 GDPR, in which we oblige them to protect the data of
our customers and not to disclose it to third parties.
Our website uses so-called "cookies." Cookies are small text files that are
either temporarily stored for the duration of a session (session cookies) or
permanently (permanent cookies) on your end device. Session cookies are
automatically deleted after your visit ends. Permanent cookies remain stored
on your end device until you delete them yourself or until automatic deletion
by your web browser.
Cookies serve various functions. Many cookies are technically necessary, as certain
website functions would not work without them (e.g., the shopping cart function
or language settings). Other cookies are used to analyze user behavior or display
advertising.
The processing of data by the use of absolutely necessary cookies is based on a
legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR in the technically error-free
provision of our services. For details on the processing purposes and legitimate
interests, please refer to the explanations on the specific data processing.
The processing of personal data by the use of other cookies is based on consent
in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR. Consent can be revoked at any time for
the future. If such cookies are used for analysis and optimization purposes, we
will inform you separately within this privacy policy and obtain consent in accordance
with Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR.

You can also individually manage cookies from many companies and functions used for advertising. Use the corresponding user tools, available at https://www.aboutads.info/choices/ oder http://www.youronlinechoices.com/uk/your-ad-choices.
Most browsers also offer a so-called "do-not-track" feature, with which you can specify that you do not want to be tracked by websites. When this feature is enabled, your browser informs advertising networks, websites, and applications that you do not want to be tracked for behavioral advertising or similar purposes.
For instructions on how to manage this and other browser settings, please refer to the information provided by your browser manufacturer or provider.
You can revoke or change your cookie settings at any time. To do this, simply access the cookie settings again via the corresponding link at the bottom of the website.
Social networks (LinkedIn, Instagram, Youtube, Facebook) are merely linked to the respective services on our website. After clicking on the embedded text/image link, you will be redirected to the page of the respective provider. Only after redirection will user information be transmitted to the respective provider. For information on how your personal data is handled when using these websites, please refer to the respective privacy policies of the providers you use.
We do not transmit your personal data to third parties unless:
Furthermore, we use external service providers to process our services, whom we have carefully selected, commissioned in writing, and with whom we have, if necessary, concluded data processing agreements pursuant to Art. 28 GDPR. These service providers are bound by our instructions and are regularly monitored by us. These include, among others, service providers for hosting, email dispatch, and maintenance and care of our IT systems, etc. The service providers do not disclose this data to third parties.
Below you will find more information on the external services integrated into our website.
Our website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google
Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland ("Google").
Google Analytics uses so-called "cookies."
Google will use this information on behalf of the operator of this website to evaluate
your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity, and to provide
other services related to website activity and internet usage to the website operator.
The IP address sent by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged
with other data from Google. The processing is carried out in accordance with Art.
6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR based on the consent you have given.
We only use Google Analytics with IP anonymization enabled. This means that your
IP address will be truncated by Google within member states of the European Union
or other parties to the Agreement on the European Economic Area.
We have entered into a data processing agreement with the service provider, in
which we obligate them to protect the data of our customers and not to disclose
it to third parties.
As the transmission of personal data by Google to affiliated companies and subcontractors
in countries outside the EU and the EEA is possible, further protective mechanisms
are necessary to ensure the level of data protection required by the GDPR. For
the USA, the European Commission has issued an adequacy decision pursuant to Art.
45 para. 1 GDPR with regard to companies certified under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy
Framework. Google LLC is certified under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework and
therefore commits to compliance with adequate data protection standards, which
can be viewed at the following link:
https://www.dataprivacyframework.gov/s/participant-search
The terms of use of Google Analytics and information on data protection can be
accessed via the following links:
http://www.google.com/analytics/terms/de.html
https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/
The data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer necessary for the purpose of
its collection. Data at the user and event level associated with cookies, user
IDs (e.g., User ID), and advertising IDs (e.g., DoubleClick cookies, Android advertising
ID, IDFA [Apple identifier for advertisers]) will be deleted no later than 14 months
after collection.
You can prevent the storage of cookies by adjusting the settings of your browser
software accordingly. However, we would like to point out that in this case, you
may not be able to use all the functions of this website to their full extent.
You can also prevent Google from collecting and processing the data generated by
the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) by
downloading and installing the browser plugin available at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de
.
This website uses DoubleClick from the Google Marketing Platform, a service
provided by Google Ireland Limited, Google Building Gordon House, Barrow St,
Dublin 4, Ireland ("Google").
DoubleClick uses cookies to present you with relevant advertisements. Your browser
or device is assigned a pseudonymous identification number (ID) to check which
ads have been displayed in your browser and which ads have been clicked. This allows
for the improvement of campaign performance or, for example, prevents you from
seeing the same ad multiple times. Additionally, Google can capture conversions,
associated with ad requests, using cookie IDs. This occurs when a user sees a Campaign
Manager ad and later, with the same browser, visits the advertiser's website and
makes a purchase. According to Google, the cookies do not contain personally identifiable
information. If you have given us your consent, the data processing is carried
out under Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR.
Due to the technology used, your browser automatically establishes a direct connection
to Google's server. We have no control over the scope and further use of the data
collected by Google through the use of this tool and therefore inform you to the
best of our knowledge: By integrating DoubleClick, Google receives information
that you have accessed the corresponding part of our website or clicked on an ad
from us. If you are registered with a Google service, Google can associate the
visit with your account. Even if you are not registered with Google or not logged
in, it is possible for the provider to obtain and store your IP address.
As Google may transfer personal data to affiliated companies and subcontractors
in countries outside the EU and the EEA, additional protective mechanisms are required
to ensure the level of data protection mandated by the GDPR. For the USA, the European
Commission has issued an adequacy decision pursuant to Art. 45 para. 1 GDPR regarding
companies certified under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework. Google LLC is certified
under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework and therefore commits to compliance with
adequate data protection standards, which can be viewed at the following link:
https://www.dataprivacyframework.gov/s/participant-search For potential transfers
to other third countries outside the EU and the EEA for which there is no adequacy
decision of the European Commission, we have also agreed on standard data protection
clauses pursuant to Art. 46 para. 2 lit. c GDPR with the provider. These clauses
oblige the recipient of the data in the third country to process the data in accordance
with the level of protection in Europe.

Wir verwenden auf unserem Internetauftritt "Google Fonts", einen Dienst der We
use "Google Fonts," a service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon
House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (hereinafter referred to as "Google"),
on our website. Google Fonts allows us to use external fonts. When you access
our website, the required Google Fonts are loaded into your browser cache from
our web server. This is necessary for your browser to display our text in an
optically improved manner. If your browser does not support this function, a
standard font will be used from your computer for display.
The fonts are hosted by us and therefore not loaded from an external provider.
Processing your IP address is necessary for this purpose.
We use Google Fonts for optimization purposes, particularly to improve the usability
of our website for you and to make its design more user-friendly. The legal basis
for data processing is our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit.
f GDPR.
Our website uses the Google Maps online mapping service provider via an
interface. This allows us to display interactive maps directly on the website
and enables you to conveniently use the map function. The provider of the
mapping service is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin
4, Ireland. To use the functionalities of Google Maps, it is necessary to
store your IP address.

On our website, we embed videos from "YouTube," a social media platform owned
by Google Ireland Limited, Google Building Gordon House, Barrow St, Dublin 4,
Ireland (hereinafter referred to as "Google"). The legal basis for the
processing of your personal data in this context is your consent pursuant to
Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR.
When the playback of embedded YouTube videos is initiated with your consent, a
server call is made, usually to a server operated by Google in the USA. This transmits
to the server which page you have visited and the IP address of the visitor's browser
is transmitted to Google and stored by Google.
In addition, the provider "YouTube" uses cookies in the event of your consent to
collect information about user behavior. According to "YouTube," these cookies
are used, among other things, to capture video statistics, improve user-friendliness,
and prevent abusive behavior. If you are logged in to Google, your data may also
be associated with your account when you click on a video. If you do not wish for
this association with your profile on YouTube, you must log out before activating
the button. Google stores this data as usage profiles and uses it for advertising,
market research, and/or the needs-based design of its websites. Such evaluation
is carried out, in particular (also for non-logged-in users), for the purpose of
displaying needs-based advertising and informing other users of the social network
about your activities on our website. You have the right to object to the creation
of these user profiles. Please contact Google directly for this purpose.
As Google may transfer personal data to affiliated companies and subcontractors

the provider. These clauses oblige the recipient of the data in the third country
to process the data in accordance with the level of protection in Europe.
Further information on data protection and data use by Google can be found on the

This website embeds videos from "Vimeo." "Vimeo" is operated by Vimeo.com
Inc., 330 West 34th Street, 5th Floor, New York, New York 10001, USA.
If you have given us your consent, processing is carried out for the optimal marketing
of our offering pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR.
For videos from "Vimeo" embedded on our website, the tracking tool Google Analytics
is automatically integrated. We have no influence on the tracking settings or the
analysis results obtained through this and cannot view them. In addition, web beacons
are set by embedding "Vimeo videos" for website visitors.
To prevent Google Analytics tracking cookies from being set, you can prevent the
storage of cookies by adjusting your browser software accordingly; however, please
note that if you do this, you may not be able to use all the functions of this
website to their full extent.
You can also prevent Google from collecting and processing the data generated by
the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) by
downloading and installing the browser plug-in available under the following link: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de
As personal data is transferred to the USA, additional protective measures are
required to ensure the level of data protection mandated by the GDPR. To ensure
this, we have agreed on standard data protection clauses pursuant to Art. 46 para.
2 lit. c GDPR with the provider. These clauses oblige the recipient of the data
in the USA to process the data in accordance with the level of protection in Europe.
In cases where this cannot be ensured even through this contractual extension,
we strive for additional regulations and commitments from the recipient in the
USA.
For the purpose and scope of data collection and further processing and use of
the data by the providers, as well as your related rights and privacy protection
settings, please refer to the privacy policy of "Vimeo": https://vimeo.com/privacy
In accordance with Art. 32 GDPR, we implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure a level of protection appropriate to the risk, taking into account the state of the art, implementation costs, the nature, scope, circumstances, and purposes of processing as well as the varying likelihood and severity of the risk to the rights and freedoms of natural persons. For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, this website uses SSL encryption.
The duration of the storage of personal data is determined by the relevant statutory retention periods (e.g., from commercial law and tax law). After the respective period has expired, the corresponding data is routinely deleted. If data is required for contract fulfillment or initiation or if we have a legitimate interest in continued storage, the data will be deleted when it is no longer required for these purposes or if you have exercised your right of revocation or objection.
