(7) We send newsletters, e-mails and other electronic notifications of an advertising nature (hereinafter referred to as “newsletters”) only with the consent of the recipients or with legal permission. If the contents of the newsletter are specifically described in the course of registration, they are decisive for the consent of the users. Otherwise, our newsletters contain in particular information about our products and services as well as promotions or events.

(8) For the registration to our newsletter we use the so-called double opt-in procedure. After your registration, we will send you an e-mail to the e-mail address you provided, in which we ask you to confirm that you would like us to send you the newsletter in the future. If you do not confirm your registration within the specified time period mentioned in the e-mail, the data you provided will be blocked and deleted after 24 hours. In addition, in each case we store your IP address and the time of registration for the newsletter as well as the time of confirmation.

(10) Your data submitted in the input mask during registration will be processed for the purpose of addressing you personally. After your confirmation, we store your e-mail address in order to be able to send you the newsletter. We store the respective IP address and the times of registration and confirmation in order to be able to verify your registration and, if necessary, to clarify a possible misuse of your personal data. This is also our legitimate interest. Insofar as you have given us your consent, the legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 para. 1, p. 1 lit. a) GDPR.

(13) We would like to point out that we evaluate your user behavior in the course of sending the newsletter. The newsletter emails we send contain a so-called web beacon or a so-called tracking pixel. This is a single-pixel image file that is stored on our website. The data mentioned in this section and the web beacons are linked to your e-mail address and an individual ID for analysis purposes. The links contained in the newsletter also contain this ID. We create a user profile based on the aforementioned data. In this process, we track when you read the newsletter, and which links you click on in the newsletter email. From this, we derive your personal interests. We link this data to your user behavior on our website.

(14) This processing of data serves the purpose of personalizing the newsletter to your individual interests, optimizing our services and making them more interesting for you overall. This is also our legitimate interest. Insofar as you have given us your consent, the legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 para. 1, p. 1 lit. a) GDPR. As far as the processing is otherwise based on our legitimate interests, the legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1, p. 1 lit. f) GDPR. To the extent that you have given us consent for the aforementioned processing of the data, you may revoke this consent at any time. You can object to this evaluation of your user behavior at any time by clicking on the separate link contained in each newsletter e-mail. In addition, you can prevent the aforementioned evaluation of your user behavior if you have deactivated the display of images in your e-mail program by default. We would like to point out that in this case the newsletter will not be displayed in its entirety, and you may not be able to use all of the newsletter’s functions as a result. If you manually activate the display of images, the evaluation of your user behavior will take place as described above.

12. Google Analytics

We use the service on our website.

The legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1, p. 1 lit. a) GDPR (consent).

The service uses cookies, which are small text files that are stored on your end device and allow an analysis of your use of our website. The information generated by the cookie about the use of our website is usually transmitted to a server of the provider and stored there. If anonymization of the IP address to be transmitted by the cookie is activated on the website (“IP anonymization”), your IP address will be shortened beforehand by the provider of the service within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases the full IP address will be transmitted to a server of the provider outside the EU and shortened there. The provider of this service will use this information to evaluate your use of our website on our behalf, to compile reports on website use and to provide us with other services related to website use and internet use. In doing so, pseudonymous usage profiles can be created from the processed data. The IP address transmitted by the service will not be merged with other data of the provider.

We use the service to analyze the use of our website and to continuously improve individual functions and services as well as the user experience. Through the statistical evaluation of user behavior, we can improve our services and make them more interesting for you as a user. The data is deleted as soon as it is no longer required to achieve the purpose for which it was collected.

You can also prevent the storage of cookies generated by this service by configuring your web browser accordingly. We would like to point out that in this case you may not be able to use all the functions of our website. If you wish to prevent the collection of the data generated by the cookie and related to your user behavior (including your IP address) as well as the processing of this data by the provider of the service, you can also download and install the web browser plugin available under the following link:

13. Google Fonts

We use the service on our website.

The service allows us to use external fonts. For this purpose, the required font is loaded into the browser cache by your web browser when you access our website. This is necessary for your browser to display a visually improved representation of our texts. If your browser does not support this function, a standard font is used by your computer for display. The integration of these fonts is done by a server request at a server of the provider. Through this, the server gets informed which of our web pages you have visited.

14. Facebook Pixel

Our website uses the visitor action pixel from Facebook, Facebook Inc, 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA (“Facebook”) for conversion measurement.

This makes it possible to track the behavior of site visitors after they have been redirected to the provider’s website by clicking on a Facebook ad, for example. This allows the effectiveness of the Facebook ads to be evaluated for statistical and market research purposes and future advertising measures to be optimized.

The collected data is anonymous for us as the operator of this website, so we cannot draw any conclusions about the identity of the users. However, the data is stored and processed by Facebook, so that a connection to the respective user profile is possible and Facebook can use the data for its own advertising purposes, in accordance with the Facebook Data Use Policy. This allows Facebook to enable the placement of advertisements on Facebook pages as well as outside of Facebook. This use of the data cannot be influenced by us as the site operator.

In Facebook’s privacy policy, you can find more information about protecting your privacy: https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/.

You can also deactivate the “Custom Audiences” remarketing function in the Advertising Settings section at https://www.facebook.com/ads/preferences/?entry_product=ad_settings_screen. deactivate. To do this, you must be logged in to Facebook.

If you do not have a Facebook account, you can disable usage-based advertising from Facebook on the European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance website: http://www.youronlinechoices.com/de/praferenzmanagement/.

15. Google Tag Manager

Our website uses the Google Tag Manager. Google Tag Manager is a solution that allows marketers to manage website tags through one interface. The Tag Manager tool itself, which implements the tags, is a cookie-less domain and does not collect any personal data. The tool triggers other tags, which in turn may collect data. However, Google Tag Manager does not access this data. If a deactivation has been made at the domain or cookie level, it remains in place for all tracking tags implemented with Google Tag Manager.

16. LinkedIn Insight Tag

Our website uses the conversion tool “LinkedIn Insight Tag” from LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company. This tool creates a cookie in your web browser, which enables the collection of, among other things, the following data: IP address, device and browser properties, and page events (e.g. page views). This data is encrypted, anonymized within seven days, and the anonymized data is deleted within 90 days. LinkedIn does not share any personal data with us, but it does provide anonymized reports on website audience and ad performance. In addition, LinkedIn offers the possibility of retargeting via the Insight Tag. We can use this data to display targeted advertising outside our website without identifying you as a website visitor. For more information on data protection at LinkedIn, please refer to the LinkedIn privacy policy.

LinkedIn members can control the use of their personal data for advertising purposes in their account settings. To deactivate the Insight tag on our website (“opt-out”), click https://www.linkedin.com/psettings/guest-controls/retargeting-opt-out.
