1. An over­view of data pro­tec­tion

Gene­ral infor­ma­ti­on

The fol­lo­wing infor­ma­ti­on will pro­vi­de you with an easy to navi­ga­te over­view of what will hap­pen with your per­so­nal data when you visit this web­site. The term “per­so­nal data” com­pri­ses all data that can be used to per­so­nal­ly iden­ti­fy you. For detail­ed infor­ma­ti­on about the sub­ject mat­ter of data pro­tec­tion, plea­se con­sult our Data Pro­tec­tion Decla­ra­ti­on, which we have included beneath this copy.

Data recor­ding on this web­site

Who is the respon­si­ble par­ty for the recor­ding of data on this web­site (i.e., the “con­trol­ler”)?

The data on this web­site is pro­ces­sed by the ope­ra­tor of the web­site, who­se cont­act infor­ma­ti­on is available under sec­tion “Infor­ma­ti­on about the respon­si­ble par­ty (refer­red to as the “con­trol­ler” in the GDPR)” in this Pri­va­cy Poli­cy.

How do we record your data?

We coll­ect your data as a result of your sha­ring of your data with us. This may, for ins­tance be infor­ma­ti­on you enter into our cont­act form.

Other data shall be recor­ded by our IT sys­tems auto­ma­ti­cal­ly or after you con­sent to its recor­ding during your web­site visit. This data com­pri­ses pri­ma­ri­ly tech­ni­cal infor­ma­ti­on (e.g., web brow­ser, ope­ra­ting sys­tem, or time the site was acces­sed). This infor­ma­ti­on is recor­ded auto­ma­ti­cal­ly when you access this web­site.

What are the pur­po­ses we use your data for?

A por­ti­on of the infor­ma­ti­on is gene­ra­ted to gua­ran­tee the error free pro­vi­si­on of the web­site. Other data may be used to ana­ly­ze your user pat­terns.

What rights do you have as far as your infor­ma­ti­on is con­cer­ned?

You have the right to recei­ve infor­ma­ti­on about the source, reci­pi­ents, and pur­po­ses of your archi­ved per­so­nal data at any time wit­hout having to pay a fee for such dis­clo­sures. You also have the right to demand that your data are rec­ti­fied or era­di­ca­ted. If you have con­sen­ted to data pro­ces­sing, you have the opti­on to revo­ke this con­sent at any time, which shall affect all future data pro­ces­sing. Moreo­ver, you have the right to demand that the pro­ces­sing of your data be rest­ric­ted under cer­tain cir­cum­s­tances. Fur­ther­mo­re, you have the right to log a com­plaint with the com­pe­tent super­vi­sing agen­cy.

Plea­se do not hesi­ta­te to cont­act us at any time if you have ques­ti­ons about this or any other data pro­tec­tion rela­ted issues.

Ana­ly­sis tools and tools pro­vi­ded by third par­ties

The­re is a pos­si­bi­li­ty that your brow­sing pat­terns will be sta­tis­ti­cal­ly ana­ly­zed when your visit this web­site. Such ana­ly­ses are per­for­med pri­ma­ri­ly with what we refer to as ana­ly­sis pro­grams.

For detail­ed infor­ma­ti­on about the­se ana­ly­sis pro­grams plea­se con­sult our Data Pro­tec­tion Decla­ra­ti­on below.

2. Hos­ting

We are hos­ting the con­tent of our web­site at the fol­lo­wing pro­vi­der:

All-Inkl

The Pro­vi­der is the ALL-INKL.COM – Neue Medi­en Mün­nich, owner: René Mün­nich, Haupt­stra­ße 68, 02742 Frie­ders­dorf, Ger­ma­ny (her­ein­af­ter “All-Inkl”). For details, plea­se visit the pri­va­cy poli­cy of All-Inkl: https://all-inkl.com/datenschutzinformationen/.

The use of All-Inkl is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. We have a legi­ti­ma­te inte­rest in the most relia­ble repre­sen­ta­ti­on of our web­site. If appro­pria­te con­sent has been obtai­ned, the pro­ces­sing is car­ri­ed out exclu­si­ve­ly on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25 (1) TDDDG, inso­far the con­sent includes the sto­rage of coo­kies or the access to infor­ma­ti­on in the user’s end device (e.g., device fin­ger­prin­ting) within the mea­ning of the TDDDG. This con­sent can be revo­ked at any time.

Data pro­ces­sing

We have con­cluded a data pro­ces­sing agree­ment (DPA) for the use of the abo­ve-men­tio­ned ser­vice. This is a con­tract man­da­ted by data pri­va­cy laws that gua­ran­tees that they pro­cess per­so­nal data of our web­site visi­tors only based on our ins­truc­tions and in com­pli­ance with the GDPR.

3. Gene­ral infor­ma­ti­on and man­da­to­ry infor­ma­ti­on

Data pro­tec­tion

The ope­ra­tors of this web­site and its pages take the pro­tec­tion of your per­so­nal data very serious­ly. Hence, we hand­le your per­so­nal data as con­fi­den­ti­al infor­ma­ti­on and in com­pli­ance with the sta­tu­to­ry data pro­tec­tion regu­la­ti­ons and this Data Pro­tec­tion Decla­ra­ti­on.

When­ever you use this web­site, a varie­ty of per­so­nal infor­ma­ti­on will be coll­ec­ted. Per­so­nal data com­pri­ses data that can be used to per­so­nal­ly iden­ti­fy you. This Data Pro­tec­tion Decla­ra­ti­on explains which data we coll­ect as well as the pur­po­ses we use this data for. It also explains how, and for which pur­po­se the infor­ma­ti­on is coll­ec­ted.

We here­wi­th advi­se you that the trans­mis­si­on of data via the Inter­net (i.e., through e‑mail com­mu­ni­ca­ti­ons) may be pro­ne to secu­ri­ty gaps. It is not pos­si­ble to com­ple­te­ly pro­tect data against third-par­ty access.

Infor­ma­ti­on about the respon­si­ble par­ty (refer­red to as the “con­trol­ler” in the GDPR)

The data pro­ces­sing con­trol­ler on this web­site is:

Gre­gor J. Enck, Wirt­schafts­prü­fer, Steu­er­be­ra­ter
Hen­rik Her­mann Evers, Wirt­schafts­prü­fer, Steu­er­be­ra­ter
Cars­ten Hil­ge­fort, Dipl.-Kfm. Steu­er­be­ra­ter
Bether Stra­ße 62 — 64
49661 Clop­pen­burg

Pho­ne: 04471/180 46–0
E‑mail: info@niehauspartner.de

The con­trol­ler is the natu­ral per­son or legal enti­ty that sin­gle-han­dedly or joint­ly with others makes decis­i­ons as to the pur­po­ses of and resour­ces for the pro­ces­sing of per­so­nal data (e.g., names, e‑mail addres­ses, etc.).

Sto­rage dura­ti­on

Unless a more spe­ci­fic sto­rage peri­od has been spe­ci­fied in this pri­va­cy poli­cy, your per­so­nal data will remain with us until the pur­po­se for which it was coll­ec­ted no lon­ger appli­es. If you assert a jus­ti­fied request for dele­ti­on or revo­ke your con­sent to data pro­ces­sing, your data will be dele­ted, unless we have other legal­ly per­mis­si­ble reasons for sto­ring your per­so­nal data (e.g., tax or com­mer­cial law reten­ti­on peri­ods); in the lat­ter case, the dele­ti­on will take place after the­se reasons cea­se to app­ly.

Gene­ral infor­ma­ti­on on the legal basis for the data pro­ces­sing on this web­site

If you have con­sen­ted to data pro­ces­sing, we pro­cess your per­so­nal data on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR or Art. 9 (2)(a) GDPR, if spe­cial cate­go­ries of data are pro­ces­sed accor­ding to Art. 9 (1) DSGVO. In the case of expli­cit con­sent to the trans­fer of per­so­nal data to third count­ries, the data pro­ces­sing is also based on Art. 49 (1)(a) GDPR. If you have con­sen­ted to the sto­rage of coo­kies or to the access to infor­ma­ti­on in your end device (e.g., via device fin­ger­prin­ting), the data pro­ces­sing is addi­tio­nal­ly based on § 25 (1) TDDDG. The con­sent can be revo­ked at any time. If your data is requi­red for the ful­fill­ment of a con­tract or for the imple­men­ta­ti­on of pre-con­trac­tu­al mea­su­res, we pro­cess your data on the basis of Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR. Fur­ther­mo­re, if your data is requi­red for the ful­fill­ment of a legal obli­ga­ti­on, we pro­cess it on the basis of Art. 6(1)© GDPR. Fur­ther­mo­re, the data pro­ces­sing may be car­ri­ed out on the basis of our legi­ti­ma­te inte­rest accor­ding to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Infor­ma­ti­on on the rele­vant legal basis in each indi­vi­du­al case is pro­vi­ded in the fol­lo­wing para­graphs of this pri­va­cy poli­cy.

Infor­ma­ti­on on the data trans­fer to third-par­ty count­ries that are not secu­re under data pro­tec­tion law and the trans­fer to US com­pa­nies that are not DPF-cer­ti­fied

We use, among other tech­no­lo­gies, tools from com­pa­nies loca­ted in third-par­ty count­ries that are not safe under data pro­tec­tion law, as well as US tools who­se pro­vi­ders are not cer­ti­fied under the EU-US Data Pri­va­cy Frame­work (DPF). If the­se tools are enab­led, your per­so­nal data may be trans­fer­red to and pro­ces­sed in the­se count­ries. We would like you to note that no level of data pro­tec­tion com­pa­ra­ble to that in the EU can be gua­ran­teed in third count­ries that are inse­cu­re in terms of data pro­tec­tion law.

We would like to point out that the US, as a secu­re third-par­ty coun­try, gene­ral­ly has a level of data pro­tec­tion com­pa­ra­ble to that of the EU. Data trans­fer to the US is the­r­e­fo­re per­mit­ted if the reci­pi­ent is cer­ti­fied under the “EU-US Data Pri­va­cy Frame­work” (DPF) or has appro­pria­te addi­tio­nal assu­ran­ces. Infor­ma­ti­on on trans­fers to third-par­ty count­ries, inclu­ding the data reci­pi­ents, can be found in this Pri­va­cy Poli­cy.

Reci­pi­ents of per­so­nal data

In the scope of our busi­ness acti­vi­ties, we coope­ra­te with various exter­nal par­ties. In some cases, this also requi­res the trans­fer of per­so­nal data to the­se exter­nal par­ties. We only dis­c­lo­se per­so­nal data to exter­nal par­ties if this is requi­red as part of the ful­fill­ment of a con­tract, if we are legal­ly obli­ga­ted to do so (e.g., dis­clo­sure of data to tax aut­ho­ri­ties), if we have a legi­ti­ma­te inte­rest in the dis­clo­sure pur­su­ant to Art. 6 (1)(f) GDPR, or if ano­ther legal basis per­mits the dis­clo­sure of this data. When using pro­ces­sors, we only dis­c­lo­se per­so­nal data of our cus­to­mers on the basis of a valid con­tract on data pro­ces­sing. In the case of joint pro­ces­sing, a joint pro­ces­sing agree­ment is con­cluded.

Revo­ca­ti­on of your con­sent to the pro­ces­sing of data

A wide ran­ge of data pro­ces­sing tran­sac­tions are pos­si­ble only sub­ject to your express con­sent. You can also revo­ke at any time any con­sent you have alre­a­dy given us. This shall be wit­hout pre­ju­di­ce to the lawful­ness of any data coll­ec­tion that occur­red pri­or to your revo­ca­ti­on.

Right to object to the coll­ec­tion of data in spe­cial cases; right to object to direct adver­ti­sing (Art. 21 GDPR)

IN THE EVENT THAT DATA ARE PROCESSED ON THE BASIS OF ART. 6(1)(E) OR (F) GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO AT ANY TIME OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA BASED ON GROUNDS ARISING FROM YOUR UNIQUE SITUATION. THIS ALSO APPLIES TO ANY PROFILING BASED ON THESE PROVISIONS. TO DETERMINE THE LEGAL BASIS, ON WHICH ANY PROCESSING OF DATA IS BASED, PLEASE CONSULT THIS DATA PROTECTION DECLARATION. IF YOU LOG AN OBJECTION, WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR AFFECTED PERSONAL DATA, UNLESS WE ARE IN A POSITION TO PRESENT COMPELLING PROTECTION WORTHY GROUNDS FOR THE PROCESSING OF YOUR DATA, THAT OUTWEIGH YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS OR IF THE PURPOSE OF THE PROCESSING IS THE CLAIMING, EXERCISING OR DEFENCE OF LEGAL ENTITLEMENTS (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21(1) GDPR).

IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA IS BEING PROCESSED IN ORDER TO ENGAGE IN DIRECT ADVERTISING, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR AFFECTED PERSONAL DATA FOR THE PURPOSES OF SUCH ADVERTISING AT ANY TIME. THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING TO THE EXTENT THAT IT IS AFFILIATED WITH SUCH DIRECT ADVERTISING. IF YOU OBJECT, YOUR PERSONAL DATA WILL SUBSEQUENTLY NO LONGER BE USED FOR DIRECT ADVERTISING PURPOSES (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21(2) GDPR).

Right to log a com­plaint with the com­pe­tent super­vi­so­ry agen­cy

In the event of vio­la­ti­ons of the GDPR, data sub­jects are entit­led to log a com­plaint with a super­vi­so­ry agen­cy, in par­ti­cu­lar in the mem­ber sta­te whe­re they usual­ly main­tain their domic­i­le, place of work or at the place whe­re the alle­ged vio­la­ti­on occur­red. The right to log a com­plaint is in effect regard­less of any other admi­nis­tra­ti­ve or court pro­cee­dings available as legal recour­ses.

Right to data por­ta­bi­li­ty

You have the right to have data that we pro­cess auto­ma­ti­cal­ly on the basis of your con­sent or in ful­fill­ment of a con­tract han­ded over to you or to a third par­ty in a com­mon, machi­ne-rea­da­ble for­mat. If you should demand the direct trans­fer of the data to ano­ther con­trol­ler, this will be done only if it is tech­ni­cal­ly fea­si­ble.

Infor­ma­ti­on about, rec­ti­fi­ca­ti­on and era­di­ca­ti­on of data

Within the scope of the appli­ca­ble sta­tu­to­ry pro­vi­si­ons, you have the right to demand infor­ma­ti­on about your archi­ved per­so­nal data, their source and reci­pi­ents as well as the pur­po­se of the pro­ces­sing of your data at any time. You may also have a right to have your data rec­ti­fied or era­di­ca­ted. If you have ques­ti­ons about this sub­ject mat­ter or any other ques­ti­ons about per­so­nal data, plea­se do not hesi­ta­te to cont­act us at any time.

Right to demand pro­ces­sing rest­ric­tions

You have the right to demand the impo­si­ti­on of rest­ric­tions as far as the pro­ces­sing of your per­so­nal data is con­cer­ned. To do so, you may cont­act us at any time. The right to demand rest­ric­tion of pro­ces­sing appli­es in the fol­lo­wing cases:

  • In the event that you should dis­pu­te the cor­rect­ness of your data archi­ved by us, we will usual­ly need some time to veri­fy this cla­im. During the time that this inves­ti­ga­ti­on is ongo­ing, you have the right to demand that we rest­rict the pro­ces­sing of your per­so­nal data.
  • If the pro­ces­sing of your per­so­nal data was/is con­duc­ted in an unlawful man­ner, you have the opti­on to demand the rest­ric­tion of the pro­ces­sing of your data ins­tead of deman­ding the era­di­ca­ti­on of this data.
  • If we do not need your per­so­nal data any lon­ger and you need it to exer­cise, defend or cla­im legal entit­le­ments, you have the right to demand the rest­ric­tion of the pro­ces­sing of your per­so­nal data ins­tead of its era­di­ca­ti­on.
  • If you have rai­sed an objec­tion pur­su­ant to Art. 21(1) GDPR, your rights and our rights will have to be weig­hed against each other. As long as it has not been deter­mi­ned who­se inte­rests pre­vail, you have the right to demand a rest­ric­tion of the pro­ces­sing of your per­so­nal data.

If you have rest­ric­ted the pro­ces­sing of your per­so­nal data, the­se data – with the excep­ti­on of their archi­ving – may be pro­ces­sed only sub­ject to your con­sent or to cla­im, exer­cise or defend legal entit­le­ments or to pro­tect the rights of other natu­ral per­sons or legal enti­ties or for important public inte­rest reasons cited by the Euro­pean Uni­on or a mem­ber sta­te of the EU.

SSL and/or TLS encryp­ti­on

For secu­ri­ty reasons and to pro­tect the trans­mis­si­on of con­fi­den­ti­al con­tent, such as purcha­se orders or inqui­ries you sub­mit to us as the web­site ope­ra­tor, this web­site uses eit­her an SSL or a TLS encryp­ti­on pro­gram. You can reco­gni­ze an encrypt­ed con­nec­tion by che­cking whe­ther the address line of the brow­ser swit­ches from “http://” to “https://” and also by the appearance of the lock icon in the brow­ser line.

If the SSL or TLS encryp­ti­on is acti­va­ted, data you trans­mit to us can­not be read by third par­ties.

Rejec­tion of unso­li­ci­ted e‑mails

We here­wi­th object to the use of cont­act infor­ma­ti­on published in con­junc­tion with the man­da­to­ry infor­ma­ti­on to be pro­vi­ded in our Site Noti­ce to send us pro­mo­tio­nal and infor­ma­ti­on mate­ri­al that we have not express­ly reques­ted. The ope­ra­tors of this web­site and its pages reser­ve the express right to take legal action in the event of the unso­li­ci­ted sen­ding of pro­mo­tio­nal infor­ma­ti­on, for ins­tance via SPAM mes­sa­ges.

4. Recor­ding of data on this web­site

Coo­kies

Our web­sites and pages use what the indus­try refers to as “coo­kies.” Coo­kies are small data packa­ges that do not cau­se any dama­ge to your device. They are eit­her stored tem­po­r­a­ri­ly for the dura­ti­on of a ses­si­on (ses­si­on coo­kies) or they are per­ma­nent­ly archi­ved on your device (per­ma­nent coo­kies). Ses­si­on coo­kies are auto­ma­ti­cal­ly dele­ted once you ter­mi­na­te your visit. Per­ma­nent coo­kies remain archi­ved on your device until you actively dele­te them, or they are auto­ma­ti­cal­ly era­di­ca­ted by your web brow­ser.

Coo­kies can be issued by us (first-par­ty coo­kies) or by third-par­ty com­pa­nies (so-cal­led third-par­ty coo­kies). Third-par­ty coo­kies enable the inte­gra­ti­on of cer­tain ser­vices of third-par­ty com­pa­nies into web­sites (e.g., coo­kies for hand­ling pay­ment ser­vices).

Coo­kies have a varie­ty of func­tions. Many coo­kies are tech­ni­cal­ly essen­ti­al sin­ce cer­tain web­site func­tions would not work in the absence of the­se coo­kies (e.g., the shop­ping cart func­tion or the dis­play of vide­os). Other coo­kies may be used to ana­ly­ze user beha­vi­or or for pro­mo­tio­nal pur­po­ses.

Coo­kies, which are requi­red for the per­for­mance of elec­tro­nic com­mu­ni­ca­ti­on tran­sac­tions, for the pro­vi­si­on of cer­tain func­tions you want to use (e.g., for the shop­ping cart func­tion) or tho­se that are neces­sa­ry for the opti­miza­ti­on (requi­red coo­kies) of the web­site (e.g., coo­kies that pro­vi­de mea­sura­ble insights into the web audi­ence), shall be stored on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, unless a dif­fe­rent legal basis is cited. The ope­ra­tor of the web­site has a legi­ti­ma­te inte­rest in the sto­rage of requi­red coo­kies to ensu­re the tech­ni­cal­ly error-free and opti­mi­zed pro­vi­si­on of the operator’s ser­vices. If your con­sent to the sto­rage of the coo­kies and simi­lar reco­gni­ti­on tech­no­lo­gies has been reques­ted, the pro­ces­sing occurs exclu­si­ve­ly on the basis of the con­sent obtai­ned (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25 (1) TDDDG); this con­sent may be revo­ked at any time.

You have the opti­on to set up your brow­ser in such a man­ner that you will be noti­fied any time coo­kies are pla­ced and to per­mit the accep­tance of coo­kies only in spe­ci­fic cases. You may also exclude the accep­tance of coo­kies in cer­tain cases or in gene­ral or acti­va­te the dele­te-func­tion for the auto­ma­tic era­di­ca­ti­on of coo­kies when the brow­ser clo­ses. If coo­kies are deac­ti­va­ted, the func­tions of this web­site may be limi­t­ed.

Which coo­kies and ser­vices are used on this web­site can be found in this pri­va­cy poli­cy.

Con­sent with User­cen­trics

This web­site uses the con­sent tech­no­lo­gy of User­cen­trics to obtain your con­sent to the sto­rage of cer­tain coo­kies on your device or for the use of spe­ci­fic tech­no­lo­gies, and to docu­ment the for­mer in a data pro­tec­tion com­pli­ant man­ner. The par­ty offe­ring this tech­no­lo­gy is User­cen­trics GmbH, Send­lin­ger Stra­ße 7, 80331 Mün­chen, Ger­ma­ny, web­site: https://usercentrics.com/ (her­ein­af­ter refer­red to as “User­cen­trics”).

When­ever you visit our web­site, the fol­lo­wing per­so­nal data will be trans­fer­red to User­cen­trics:

  • Your declaration(s) of con­sent or your revo­ca­ti­on of your declaration(s) of con­sent
  • Your IP address
  • Infor­ma­ti­on about your brow­ser
  • Infor­ma­ti­on about your device
  • The date and time you visi­ted our web­site
  • Geo­lo­ca­ti­on

Moreo­ver, User­cen­trics shall store a coo­kie in your brow­ser to be able to allo­ca­te your declaration(s) of con­sent or any revo­ca­ti­ons of the for­mer. The data that are recor­ded in this man­ner shall be stored until you ask us to era­di­ca­te them, dele­te the User­cen­trics coo­kie or until the pur­po­se for archi­ving the data no lon­ger exists. This shall be wit­hout pre­ju­di­ce to any man­da­to­ry legal reten­ti­on peri­ods.

The User­cen­trics ban­ner on this web­site has been con­fi­gu­red with the assis­tance of eRecht24. This can be iden­ti­fied by the eRecht24 logo. To dis­play the eRecht24 logo in the ban­ner, a con­nec­tion to the image ser­ver of eRecht24 will be estab­lished. In con­junc­tion with this, the IP address is also trans­fer­red; howe­ver, is only stored in anony­mi­zed form in the ser­ver logs. The image ser­ver of eRecht24 is loca­ted in Ger­ma­ny with a Ger­man pro­vi­der. The ban­ner as such is pro­vi­ded exclu­si­ve­ly by User­cen­trics.

User­cen­trics uses coo­kies to obtain the decla­ra­ti­ons of con­sent man­da­ted by law. The legal basis for the use of spe­ci­fic tech­no­lo­gies is Art. 6(1)© GDPR.

Data pro­ces­sing

We have con­cluded a data pro­ces­sing agree­ment (DPA) for the use of the abo­ve-men­tio­ned ser­vice. This is a con­tract man­da­ted by data pri­va­cy laws that gua­ran­tees that they pro­cess per­so­nal data of our web­site visi­tors only based on our ins­truc­tions and in com­pli­ance with the GDPR.

Ser­ver log files

The pro­vi­der of this web­site and its pages auto­ma­ti­cal­ly coll­ects and stores infor­ma­ti­on in so-cal­led ser­ver log files, which your brow­ser com­mu­ni­ca­tes to us auto­ma­ti­cal­ly. The infor­ma­ti­on com­pri­ses:

  • The type and ver­si­on of brow­ser used
  • The used ope­ra­ting sys­tem
  • Refer­rer URL
  • The host­na­me of the acces­sing com­pu­ter
  • The time of the ser­ver inquiry
  • The IP address

This data is not mer­ged with other data sources.

This data is recor­ded on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The ope­ra­tor of the web­site has a legi­ti­ma­te inte­rest in the tech­ni­cal­ly error free depic­tion and the opti­miza­ti­on of the operator’s web­site. In order to achie­ve this, ser­ver log files must be recor­ded.

Cont­act form

If you sub­mit inqui­ries to us via our cont­act form, the infor­ma­ti­on pro­vi­ded in the cont­act form as well as any cont­act infor­ma­ti­on pro­vi­ded the­r­ein will be stored by us in order to hand­le your inquiry and in the event that we have fur­ther ques­ti­ons. We will not share this infor­ma­ti­on wit­hout your con­sent.

The pro­ces­sing of the­se data is based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR, if your request is rela­ted to the exe­cu­ti­on of a con­tract or if it is neces­sa­ry to car­ry out pre-con­trac­tu­al mea­su­res. In all other cases the pro­ces­sing is based on our legi­ti­ma­te inte­rest in the effec­ti­ve pro­ces­sing of the requests addres­sed to us (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) or on your agree­ment (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) if this has been reques­ted; the con­sent can be revo­ked at any time.

The infor­ma­ti­on you have ente­red into the cont­act form shall remain with us until you ask us to era­di­ca­te the data, revo­ke your con­sent to the archi­ving of data or if the pur­po­se for which the infor­ma­ti­on is being archi­ved no lon­ger exists (e.g., after we have con­cluded our respon­se to your inquiry).

This tool allows the track­ing of page visi­tors after they have been lin­ked to the web­site of the pro­vi­der after cli­cking on a Face­book ad. This makes it pos­si­ble to ana­ly­ze the effec­ti­ve­ness of Face­book ads for sta­tis­ti­cal and mar­ket rese­arch pur­po­ses and to opti­mi­ze future adver­ti­sing cam­paigns.

For us as the ope­ra­tors of this web­site, the coll­ec­ted data is anony­mous. We are not in a posi­ti­on to arri­ve at any con­clu­si­ons as to the iden­ti­ty of users. Howe­ver, Face­book archi­ves the infor­ma­ti­on and pro­ces­ses it, so that it is pos­si­ble to make a con­nec­tion to the respec­ti­ve user pro­fi­le and Face­book is in a posi­ti­on to use the data for its own pro­mo­tio­nal pur­po­ses in com­pli­ance with the Face­book Data Usa­ge Poli­cy (https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/). This enables Face­book to dis­play ads on Face­book pages as well as in loca­ti­ons out­side of Face­book. We as the ope­ra­tor of this web­site have no con­trol over the use of such data.

The use of the­se ser­vices occurs on the basis of your con­sent pur­su­ant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25(1) TDDDG. You may revo­ke your con­sent at any time.

Lin­ke­dIn Insight Tag

This web­site uses the Insight tag from Lin­ke­dIn. This ser­vice is pro­vi­ded by Lin­ke­dIn Ire­land Unli­mi­t­ed Com­pa­ny, Wil­ton Pla­za, Wil­ton Place, Dub­lin 2, Ire­land.

Data pro­ces­sing by Lin­ke­dIn Insight tag

We use the Lin­ke­dIn Insight tag to obtain infor­ma­ti­on about visi­tors to our web­site. Once a web­site visi­tor is regis­tered with Lin­ke­dIn, we can ana­ly­ze the key occu­pa­tio­nal data (e.g., care­er level, com­pa­ny size, coun­try, loca­ti­on, indus­try, job title) of our web­site visi­tors to help us bet­ter tar­get our site to the rele­vant audi­ence. We can also use Lin­ke­dIn Insight tags to mea­su­re whe­ther visi­tors to our web­sites make a purcha­se or per­form other actions (con­ver­si­on mea­su­re­ment). Con­ver­si­on mea­su­re­ment can also be car­ri­ed out across devices (e.g. from PC to tablet). Lin­ke­dIn Insight Tag also fea­tures a retar­ge­ting func­tion that allows us to dis­play tar­ge­ted adver­ti­sing to visi­tors to our web­site out­side of the web­site. Accor­ding to Lin­ke­dIn, no iden­ti­fi­ca­ti­on of the adver­ti­sing addres­see takes place.

Lin­ke­dIn its­elf also coll­ects log files (URL, refer­rer URL, IP address, device and brow­ser cha­rac­te­ristics and time of access). The IP addres­ses are shor­ten­ed or (if they are 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 will then be dele­ted within 180 days.

The data coll­ec­ted by Lin­ke­dIn can­not be assi­gned by us as a web­site ope­ra­tor to spe­ci­fic indi­vi­du­als. Lin­ke­dIn will store the per­so­nal data coll­ec­ted from web­site visi­tors on its ser­vers in the USA and use it for its own pro­mo­tio­nal acti­vi­ties.
