    E Use of Google tools

    1. Google Analytics

    This website uses functions of the web analysis service Google Analytics. Provider is Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. Google Analytics enables the website operator to analyse the behaviour of website visitors. The website operator receives various usage data, such as page views, length of stay, operating systems used and origin of the user. This data is summarized in a user ID and assigned to the respective end device of the website visitor. Furthermore, with Google Analytics we can record, among other things, your mouse and scroll movements and clicks. Google Analytics also uses various modelling approaches to supplement the recorded data sets and uses machine learning technologies to analyse the data. Google Analytics uses technologies that enable the recognition of the user for the purpose of analysing user behaviour (e.g. cookies or device fingerprinting). The information collected by Google about the use of this website is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. The use of this service is based on your consent in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 Sentence 1 Letter a) GDPR and Section 25 Para. 1 TTDSG. Consent can be revoked at any time.

    The data transfer to the USA is based on the standard contractual clauses of the EU Commission. Details can be found here: https://privacy.google.com/businesses/controllerterms/mccs/. Google is certified according to the "EU-US Data Privacy Framework" (DPF). The DPF is an agreement between the European Union and the USA that is intended to ensure compliance with European data protection standards when processing data in the USA. Every company certified according to the DPF undertakes to comply with these data protection standards. You can obtain further information from the provider at the following link: https://www.dataprivacyframework.gov/s/participant-search/participant-detail?contact=true&id=a2zt000000001L5AAI&status=Active.

    2. Google Maps

    This site uses the map service Google Maps. Provider is Google Ireland Limited ("Google"), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. In order to use the functions of Google Maps, it is necessary to save your IP address. This information is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and saved there. The provider of this site has no influence on this data transfer. If Google Maps is activated, Google can use Google Fonts for the purpose of uniform display of fonts. When you call up Google Maps, your browser loads the required web fonts into your browser cache in order to display texts and fonts correctly. Google Maps is used in the interest of an appealing presentation of our online offerings and to make the locations we specify on the website easy to find. This represents a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 Para. 1 Sentence 1 Letter f) GDPR. If corresponding consent has been requested, processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 Sentence 1 Letter a) GDPR and Section 25 Para. 1 TTDSG, insofar as the consent includes the storage of cookies or access to information in the user's terminal device (e.g. device fingerprinting) within the meaning of the TTDSG. The consent can be revoked at any time. The data transfer to the USA is based on the standard contractual clauses of the EU Commission. Details can be found here: https://privacy.google.com/businesses/gdprcontrollerterms/ and https://privacy.google.com/businesses/gdprcontrollerterms/sccs/. More information on how user data is handled can be found in Google's privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de.

    Google is certified according to the "EU-US Data Privacy Framework" (DPF). The DPF is an agreement between the European Union and the USA that is intended to ensure compliance with European data protection standards when processing data in the USA. Every company certified according to the DPF undertakes to comply with these data protection standards. You can obtain further information from the provider at the following link: https://www.dataprivacyframework.gov/s/participant-search/participant-detail?contact=true&id=a2zt000000001L5AAI&status=Active.

    3. Google Fonts

    This site uses so-called Google Fonts, which are provided by Google, for the uniform display of fonts. The Google Fonts are installed locally. There is no connection to Google servers. Further information about Google Fonts can be found at https://developers.google.com/fonts/faq and in Google's privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de .

    4. YouTube 

    This website embeds videos from the YouTube website. The operator of the pages is Google Ireland Limited ("Google"), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. We use YouTube in extended data protection mode. According to YouTube, this mode means that YouTube does not save any information about visitors to this website before they watch the video. However, the extended data protection mode does not necessarily exclude the transfer of data to YouTube partners. For example, YouTube establishes a connection to the Google DoubleClick network - regardless of whether you watch a video. As soon as you start a YouTube video on this website, a connection is established to the YouTube servers. The YouTube server is informed which of our pages you have visited. If you are logged into your YouTube account, you allow YouTube to assign your surfing behavior directly to your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account. Furthermore, after starting a video, YouTube can save various cookies on your device or use comparable recognition technologies (e.g. device fingerprinting). In this way, YouTube can receive information about visitors to this website. This information is used, among other things, to collect video statistics, improve user-friendliness and prevent fraud attempts. After starting a YouTube video, further data processing operations may be triggered over which we have no influence. YouTube is used in the interest of an appealing presentation of our online offerings. This represents a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 Para. 1 Sentence 1 Letter f) GDPR. If corresponding consent has been requested, processing will take place exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 Sentence 1 Letter a) GDPR and Section 25 Para. 1 TTDSG, insofar as the consent includes the storage of cookies or access to information on the user's device (e.g. device fingerprinting) within the meaning of the TTDSG. Consent can be revoked at any time.

    Further information about data protection at YouTube can be found in their privacy policy at: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de. YouTube is certified according to the "EU-US Data Privacy Framework" (DPF). The DPF is an agreement between the European Union and the USA that is intended to ensure compliance with European data protection standards when processing data in the USA. Every company certified according to the DPF undertakes to comply with these data protection standards. You can obtain further information from the provider at the following link: https://www.dataprivacyframework.gov/s/participant-search/participant-detail?contact=true&id=a2zt000000001L5AAI&status=Active.

    5. Tag Manager

    This website uses the Google Tag Manager, operated by Google Ireland Limited ("Google"), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. This service allows website tags to be managed via an interface. The Google Tag Manager itself does not set cookies, only tags, and does not collect any personal data. The service triggers other tags, which in turn may collect data. However, the Google Tag Manager does not access this data. If deactivation has been carried out at domain or cookie level, this remains in place for all tracking tags implemented with the Google Tag Manager.

    The Google Tag Manager is used to display cookies, but only processes technical information and therefore does not require consent under the TTDSG. The legal basis for the use of the Google Tag Manager is therefore Art. 6 Para. 1 Sentence 1 Letter f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in the uniform and proper integration of cookies across different end devices.

    6. Adwords conversions

    On this website we use the Google Adwords service from Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House Barrow Street Dublin 4, Ireland (“Google”) to draw attention to our offers on external websites with the help of advertising materials (so-called Google Adwords). We can determine how successful the individual advertising measures are in relation to the data from the advertising campaigns. In this way, we pursue the interest of showing you advertising that is of interest to you, making our website more interesting for you and achieving a fair calculation of advertising costs.

    These advertisements are delivered by Google via so-called "ad servers". For this purpose, we use ad server cookies, which can be used to measure certain parameters for measuring success, such as the display of ads or clicks by users. If you access our website via a Google ad, Google Adwords will save a cookie on your computer. The analysis values stored for this cookie are usually the unique cookie ID, the number of ad impressions per placement ( frequency ), the last impression (relevant for post-view conversions ) and opt -out information (marking that the user no longer wishes to be contacted).

    These cookies allow Google to recognize your Internet browser. If a user visits certain pages of an Adwords customer's website and the cookie stored on their computer has not yet expired, Google and the customer can recognize that the user clicked on the ad and was redirected to this page. Each Adwords customer is assigned a different cookie. Cookies cannot therefore be tracked across the websites of Adwords customers.

    The ad server cookies usually expire after 30 days and are not intended to identify you personally.

    We do not collect or process any personal data in the advertising measures mentioned. We only receive statistical evaluations from Google. Based on these evaluations, we can see which of the advertising measures used are particularly effective. We do not receive any further data from the use of the advertising material, and in particular we cannot identify users based on this information.

    Due to the marketing tools used, your browser automatically establishes a direct connection to the Google server.

    You can prevent participation in this tracking process in various ways: a) by setting your browser software accordingly - suppressing third-party cookies will mean that you will not receive adverts from third-party providers; b) by deactivating cookies for conversion tracking by setting your browser to block cookies from the domain www.googleadservices.com (https://www.google.de/settings/ads); this setting will be deleted if you delete your cookies; c) by deactivating interest-based advertisements from providers that are part of the “About Ads” self-regulation campaign using the link http://www.aboutads.info/choices; this setting will be deleted if you delete your cookies; d) by permanently deactivating them in your Firefox, Internet Explorer or Google Chrome browsers using the link http://www.google.com/settings/ads/plugin. We would like to point out that in this case you may not be able to use all the functions of this offer to their full extent.

    7. Adwords remarketing

    In addition to Google Adwords Conversion (see previous section 6) we use the application Google Adwords Remarketing . This application allows our advertisements to be shown to you when you visit our website after you have visited it . This is done using cookies stored in your browser, which Google uses to record and evaluate your usage behavior when you visit various websites. This allows Google to determine your previous visit to our website. According to Google, the data collected as part of Google Remarketing will not be combined with your personal data that may be stored by Google (e.g., because you have registered for a Google service such as G-Mail). According to Google, pseudonymization is used for remarketing .


    F Use of Meta-tools

    1. Facebook and Instagram

    For the services we offer, we use the technical platform and services of Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland . The services include “Facebook” and “Instagram” (hereinafter collectively referred to as “Social Media Page”), both of which are operated by Facebook Ireland Ltd.

    We would like to point out that you use the Social Media Page and its functions at your own risk. This applies in particular to the interactive functions (e.g. commenting, sharing, rating). Facebook processes personal data about your account, your IP address and the devices you use; cookies are used to collect data. These are small files that are stored on your devices. Facebook describes in general terms what information Facebook receives and how it is used in its data usage guidelines. There you will also find information about how to contact Facebook, the options for objecting and the options for setting up advertisements.

    The data usage guidelines are available at the following link:

    Facebook : http://de-de.facebook.com/about/privacy

    Instagram : https://help.instagram.com/519522125107875

    provide us, as the operator of the Facebook pages, with statistical information such as gender and age distribution on the use of the social media page. In addition, Facebook may show you further information or advertisements based on your preferences. Facebook provides further information on this at the following link: http://de-de.facebook.com/help/pages/insights.

    The data collected about you in this context will be processed by Facebook Ltd. and may be transferred to countries outside the European Union.

    If you visit one of our social media pages (e.g. Instagram), such a visit will trigger the processing of your personal data. In this case, we and the operator of the respective social network are jointly responsible for the data processing operations within the meaning of Art. 26 GDPR, provided that we actually make a joint decision with the operator of the social network regarding data processing and we also have an influence on the data processing. Where possible, we have concluded agreements with the operators of the social networks on joint responsibility in accordance with Art. 26 GDPR, in particular the Page Controller Addendum from Facebook Ireland Ltd. You can generally assert your rights under Section 2 both against us and against the operator of the respective social network (e.g. Facebook).

    Please note that despite the joint responsibility under Art. 26 GDPR with the operators of social networks, we do not have full influence on the data processing of the individual social networks. The company policy of the respective provider has a significant influence on our options. In the event of the assertion of data subject rights, we can only forward these requests to the operator of the social network.

    How Facebook uses the data from visits to social media pages for its own purposes, to what extent activities on the social media page are assigned to individual users, how long Facebook stores this data and whether data from a visit to the social media page is passed on to third parties is not conclusively and clearly stated by Facebook and is not known to us.

    When you access a social media page, the IP address assigned to your device is transmitted to Facebook. According to Facebook, this IP address is anonymized (for "German" IP addresses) and deleted after 90 days. Facebook also stores information about its users' devices (for example as part of the "login notification" function); this may enable Facebook to assign IP addresses to individual users.

    If you are currently logged in to Facebook as a user, there is a cookie with your Facebook ID on your device. This enables Facebook to track that you have visited this page and how you have used it. This also applies to all other Facebook pages. Facebook can use Facebook buttons integrated into websites to record your visits to these websites and assign them to your Facebook profile / Instagram profile. This data can be used to offer content or advertising tailored to you.

    If you want to avoid this, you should log out of Facebook / Instagram or deactivate the "stay logged in" function, delete the cookies on your device and close and restart your browser. This will delete Facebook information that can be used to directly identify you. This allows you to use our social media page without your Facebook / Instagram ID being revealed. When you access interactive functions on the page (like, comment, share, message, etc.), a Facebook or Instagram login screen will appear. After logging in, Facebook will again recognize you as a specific user. Alternatively, you can use a different browser than usual to visit our social media page.

    The legal basis for the use of the social media page is Art. 6 Para. 1 Sentence 1 Letter f) GDPR.

    2. Meta pixel (formerly Facebook pixel)

    This website uses the visitor action pixel from Facebook/ Meta to measure conversions . The provider of this service is Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Dublin 2, Ireland. According to Facebook, the data collected is also transferred to the USA and other third countries. This allows the behavior of site visitors to be tracked after they have been redirected to the provider’s website by clicking on a Facebook ad. This enables the effectiveness of Facebook ads to be evaluated for statistical and market research purposes and future advertising measures to be optimized. The data collected is anonymous to us as the operator of this website; 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 usage policy (https://de-de.facebook.com/about/privacy/). This enables Facebook to enable advertisements to be placed on Facebook pages and outside of Facebook. We as the site operator cannot influence this use of the data. The use of this service is based on your consent in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 Sentence 1 Letter a) GDPR and Section 25 Para. 1 TTDSG. Consent can be revoked at any time.

    To the extent that personal data is collected on our website using the tool described here and forwarded to Facebook, we and the Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland are jointly responsible for this data processing (Art. 26 GDPR). The joint responsibility is limited exclusively to the collection of the data and its forwarding to Facebook. The processing by Facebook that takes place after forwarding is not part of the joint responsibility. The obligations incumbent upon us jointly have been recorded in a joint processing agreement. The wording of the agreement can be found at:

    https://www.facebook.com/legal/controller_addendum. According to this agreement, we are responsible for providing data protection information when using the Facebook tool and for implementing the tool on our website in a way that is secure under data protection law. Facebook is responsible for the data security of Facebook products. You can assert data subject rights (e.g. requests for information) with regard to the data processed by Facebook directly with Facebook. If you assert your data subject rights with us, we are obliged to forward them to Facebook. Data transfer to the USA is based on the EU Commission's standard contractual clauses. Details can be found here: https://www.facebook.com/legal/EU_data_transfer_addendum and https://de-de.facebook.com/help/566994660333381. You can find further information on protecting your privacy in Facebook's privacy policy: https://de-de.facebook.com/about/privacy/. You can also deactivate the “Custom Audiences ” remarketing function in the Ad Settings area at https://www.facebook.com/ads/preferences/?entry_product=ad_settings_screen. You must be logged in to Facebook to do this. If you do not have a Facebook account, you can deactivate usage-based advertising from Facebook on the website of the European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance: http://www.youronlinechoices.com/de/praferenzmanagement/. The company is certified according to the “EU-US Data Privacy Framework” (DPF). The DPF is an agreement between the European Union and the USA that is intended to ensure compliance with European data protection standards when processing data in the USA. Every company certified according to the DPF undertakes to comply with these data protection standards. Further information on this can be obtained from the provider at the following link: https://www.dataprivacyframework.gov/s/participant-search/participant-detail?contact=true&id=a2zt0000000GnywAAC&status=Active .


    G Use of Microsoft tools

    1. Bing Ads

    The website uses the remarketing function “Bing Ads” from Microsoft Corporation, One Microsoft Way, Redmond, WA 98052-6399, USA. Microsoft Bing Ads stores a cookie on your computer if you have accessed our website via a Microsoft Bing ad. In this way, Microsoft Bing and we can recognize that someone has clicked on an ad, been redirected to our website and reached a previously determined landing page ( conversion page).

    I Integration of LinkedIn

    This website uses the Insight Tag from LinkedIn. The provider of this service is LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company, Wilton Plaza, Wilton Place, Dublin 2, Ireland. With the help of the LinkedIn Insight Tag, we receive information about visitors to our website. If a website visitor is registered with LinkedIn, we can, among other things, analyze the key professional data (e.g. career level, company size, country, location, industry and job title) of our website visitors and thus better tailor our site to the respective target groups. Furthermore, we can use LinkedIn Insight Tags to measure whether visitors to our websites make a purchase or take another action (conversion measurement). Conversion measurement can also take place across devices (e.g. from PC to tablet). LinkedIn Insight Tag also offers a retargeting function with the help of which we can show visitors to our website targeted advertising outside of the website, although according to LinkedIn the advertising recipient is not identified. LinkedIn itself also records so-called log files (URL, referrer URL, IP address, device and browser properties 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 is then deleted within 180 days. We as website operators cannot assign the data collected by LinkedIn 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 advertising measures. For details, see LinkedIn's privacy policy at https://www.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy#choices-oblig.

    If consent has been obtained, the above-mentioned service will be used exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 Sentence 1 Letter a) GDPR and Section 25 Para. 1 TTDSG. Consent can be revoked at any time. If no consent has been obtained, this service will be used on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 Sentence 1 Letter f) GDPR. Data transfer to the USA is based on the standard contractual clauses of the EU Commission. Details can be found here: https://www.linkedin.com/legal/l/dpa and https://www.linkedin.com/legal/l/eu-sccs.

    You can object to the analysis of usage behavior and targeted advertising by LinkedIn using the following link: https://www.linkedin.com/psettings/guest-controls/retargeting-opt-out. Furthermore, LinkedIn members can control the use of their personal data for advertising purposes in their account settings. To avoid a link between data collected on our website by LinkedIn and your LinkedIn account, you must log out of your LinkedIn account before visiting our website.
