2. Legal Bases

The data protection term "personal data" refers to all information that relates to a specific or identifiable person. We process personal data in compliance with the relevant data protection regulations, in particular the DSGVO and the BDSG. Data processing by us is only carried out on the basis of a legal permission. We process personal data only with your consent (Section 15 (3) TMG or Art. 6 (1) (a) DSGVO), for the performance of a contract to which you are a party or at your request for the implementation of pre-contractual measures (Art. 6 (1) (b) DSGVO), for the fulfilment of a legal obligation (Art. 6 para. 1 letter c DSGVO) or if the processing is necessary to protect our legitimate interests or the legitimate interests of a third party, unless your interests or fundamental rights and freedoms that require the protection of personal data outweigh these (Art. 6 para. 1 letter f DSGVO).

If you apply for an open position in our company, we will also process your personal data to decide on the establishment of an employment relationship (Art. 26 para. 1 p. 1 BDSG).

3. Duration of Storage

Unless otherwise stated in the following information, we only store the data for as long as is necessary to achieve the purpose of processing or to fulfil our contractual or legal obligations. Such legal storage obligations may result in particular from commercial or tax law regulations. From the end of the calendar year in which the data was collected, we will retain such personal data contained in our accounting data for ten years and retain personal data contained in commercial letters and contracts for six years. In addition, we will retain data relating to consents subject to proof and to claims for complaints and demands for the duration of the statutory limitation periods.

4. Categories of Recipients of the Data

We use contract processors to process your data. The processing operations carried out by such processors include, for example, hosting, maintenance and support of IT systems, customer and order management, order processing, accounting and billing, marketing activities or the destruction of files and data carriers. A processor is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body that processes personal data on behalf of the data controller. Commissioned processors do not use the data for their own purposes but carry out the data processing exclusively for the data controller and are contractually obliged to ensure appropriate technical and organizational measures for data protection. In addition, we may transfer your personal data to entities such as postal and delivery services, house bank, tax advisor/auditor or the tax authorities.  Further recipients may result from the following information.

5. Data Transfer to Third Countries

Visiting our website may involve the transfer of certain personal data to third countries i.e., countries in which the DSGVO is not applicable law. Such a transfer is permissible if the European Commission has established that an adequate level of data protection is offered in such a third country. In the absence of such an adequacy finding by the European Commission, personal data will only be transferred to a third country if appropriate guarantees in accordance with Art. 46 DSGVO or if one of the conditions of Art. 49 DSGVO is met.

Unless otherwise stated below, we use as appropriate guarantees the EU standard contractual clauses for the transfer of personal data to processors in third countries: eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/DE/TXT/.

6. Processing in the Exercise of your Rights under Articles 15 to 22 DSGVO

If you exercise your rights under Articles 15 to 22 of the DPA, we process the personal data provided for the purpose of implementing these rights by us and to provide proof of this. We will process data stored for the purpose of providing information and preparing it only for this purpose as well as for the purposes of data protection control and otherwise restrict processing in accordance with Art. 18 DSGVO.

These processing operations are based on the legal basis of Art. 6 para. 1 letter. c DSGVO in conjunction with Art. 15 to 22 DSGVO and Art. 34 para. 2 BDSG.

1. Processing of Server Log Files

In the case of purely informative use of our website, general information is initially stored automatically (i.e., not via registration), which your browser sends to our server. This includes by default: browser type/version, operating system used, page accessed, the page previously visited (referrer URL), IP address, date and time of the server request and HTTP status code. The processing is carried out to protect our legitimate interests and is based on the legal basis of Art. 6 para. 1 letter f DSGVO. This processing serves the technical administration of the website.

A valid e-mail address is required to register for the newsletter. To verify the e-mail address, you will first receive a registration e-mail, which you must confirm via a link (double opt-in). If you subscribe to the newsletter on our website, we process personal data such as your e-mail address and your name on the basis of the consent you have given. The processing is based on the legal basis of article 6 paragraph 1 letter a DSGVO.

11. Google Analytics

We use the service Google Analytics of Google Ireland Limited (Ireland/EU) for the demand-oriented design and continuous optimization of our website. The service uses cookies that enable an analysis of your use of our website. Personal data in the form of online identifiers (including cookie identifiers), IP addresses, device identifiers and information about the interaction with our website are processed. Google will use this information on our behalf to evaluate the use of our website by users, to compile reports on the activities within our website and to provide us with further services related to the use of our website and the use of the Internet. The processed data can be used to create user profiles of the users, which we may link to data that we have received via our contact form. We only use Google Analytics with activated IP anonymization. This means that the IP address of users is shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or in other states that are party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. We use the variant Google Universal Analytics. This enables us to assign interaction data from different devices and from different sessions to a unique user ID. This allows us to put individual user actions into context and analyse them.

Further information about this processing activity, the technologies used, stored data and storage duration can be found in the settings of our Consent Management Tool. The use of Google Marketing Services only takes place with your consent in accordance with § 15 paragraph 3 TMG or Art. 6 paragraph 1 letter a DSGVO. You can revoke your consent at any time via the settings of our Consent Management.

We use the Google Tag Manager of Google Ireland Limited (Ireland/EU). The Google Tag Manager is used to manage our website tags via an interface. The Google Tag Manager is a "cookie-free" domain that does not collect or store any personal data. The Google Tag Manager only triggers other tags that may collect data without accessing the data itself. If deactivation is made at the domain or cookie level, it will remain in effect for all tracking tags implemented with Google Tag Manager.

For Google services, the possibility that data may be transferred to Google Inc. in the USA cannot be excluded. Please refer to the notes in the section "Transfer of data to third countries". Users can find further information on data protection at Google in Google's privacy policy: www.google.com/policies/privacy.


12 Google Marketing Services

We use the Google Ads Conversions marketing service provided by Google Ireland Limited (Ireland/EU). Google Ads allows us to place ads relevant to users on the Google advertising network (e.g. in search results, or on other websites), improve campaign performance reports and avoid serving ads to a user more than once. Each Ads client sets a different conversion cookie. These cookies cannot therefore be tracked across the websites of different Ads clients. A cookie ID is used to record which ads are played in which browser. In this way, multiple display of the same campaign can be prevented. In addition, cookie IDs can be used to track conversions, i.e. whether a user sees an ad and later visits the advertiser's website and makes a purchase. 

Remarketing allows us to target users who have already interacted with our website. In doing so, our ads are delivered when this target group visits a Google website or a website in the Google advertising network. For these purposes, a code is executed by Google when our website is called up and so-called (re)marketing tags are integrated into the website. With their help, an individual cookie is stored on the user's device. The cookies can be set by various domains, including google.com, doubleclick.net, googlesyndication.com or googleadservices.com. This file records which websites users have visited, what content they are interested in and which offers were used. In addition, technical information on the browser and operating system, referring websites, time of visit and other details on the use of the online offer are stored. All user data is processed only as pseudonymous data and does not contain any information with which we can personally identify users. The advertisements displayed are therefore not specifically displayed for a person, but for the owner of the cookie. 

Further information on these processing activities, the technologies used, stored data and the storage period can be found in the settings of our Consent Management Tool. Google marketing services are only used with your consent in accordance with Section 15 (3) TMG or Art. 6 (1) a DSGVO.
In the case of Google services, the transmission of data to Google Inc. in the USA cannot be ruled out. Please note the information in the section "Data transfer to third countries". Users can find further information on data protection at Google in Google's data protection information: www.google.com/policies/privacy.


13 Facebook Pixel

We use the Facebook Pixel, a Facebook business tool from Meta Platforms Ireland Limited (Ireland, EU), on our website. For information on Meta Platforms Ireland Limited's contact details and the contact details of Meta Platforms Ireland Limited's data protection officer, please refer to Meta Platforms Ireland Limited's data policy at https://www.facebook.com/policy.php
The Facebook pixel is a snippet of JavaScript code that allows us to track visitors' activity on our website. This tracking is called conversion tracking. The Facebook pixel collects and processes the following information (so-called event data) for this purpose:

  • Information about actions and activities of visitors to our website, such as searching for and viewing a product or purchasing a product;
  • Specific pixel information such as the pixel ID and the Facebook cookie;
  • Information about buttons clicked by visitors to the website;
  • Information present in the HTTP header such as IP addresses, web browser information, page location and referrer;
  • Information on the status of disabling/restricting ad tracking.


Some of this event data is information that is stored in the device you are using. In addition, the Facebook pixel also uses cookies to store information on the end device you are using. Such storage of information by the Facebook pixel or access to information already stored in your end device only takes place with your consent.
Tracked conversions appear in the dashboard of our Facebook Ads Manager and Facebook Analytics. We may use the tracked conversions there to measure the effectiveness of our ads, to set Custom Audiences for ad targeting, for Dynamic Ads campaigns and to analyse the effectiveness of our website's conversion funnels. The features we use through the Facebook Pixel are described in more detail below.

a. Processing of event data for advertising purposes

Event data collected through the Facebook Pixel is used to target our ads and improve ad delivery, personalise features and content, and improve and secure Facebook products.
To do this, event data is collected on our website using the Facebook Pixel and transmitted to Meta Platforms Ireland Limited. This only takes place if you have previously given your consent to this. The legal basis for the collection and transmission of personal data by us to Meta Platforms Ireland Limited is therefore Art. 6 (1) a DSGVO.
This collection and transmission of event data is carried out by us and Meta Platforms Ireland Limited as joint controllers. We have entered into a joint controller agreement with Meta Platforms Ireland Limited which sets out the allocation of data protection obligations between us and Meta Platforms Ireland Limited. In this agreement, we and Meta Platforms Ireland Limited have agreed, among other things,

  • that we are responsible for providing you with all information pursuant to Art. 13, 14 DSGVO about the joint processing of personal data;
  • that Meta Platforms Ireland Limited is responsible for enabling data subjects' rights under Articles 15 to 20 of the GDPR in respect of personal data held by Facebook Ireland following the joint processing.You can access the agreement concluded between us and Facebook Ireland at https://www.facebook.com/legal/controller_addendum.

Meta Platforms Ireland Limited is the sole controller of the subsequent processing of the submitted event data. For more information on how Meta Platforms Ireland Limited processes personal data, including the legal basis on which Meta Platforms Ireland Limited relies and how you can exercise your rights against Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, please see Meta Platforms Ireland Limited's Data Policy at https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy

b. Processing of Event Data for Analytics Purposes

We have also engaged Meta Platforms Ireland Limited to report on the impact of our advertising campaigns and other online content based on the Event Data collected through the Facebook Pixel (Campaign Reports) and to provide analysis and insights about users and their use of our website, products and services (Analytics). We transfer personal data contained in the Event Data to Meta Platforms Ireland Limited for this purpose. The personal data submitted will be processed by Meta Platforms Ireland Limited as our processor to provide us with the campaign reports and analytics.
Personal data will only be processed to provide analytics and campaign reports if you have given your prior consent to do so. The legal basis for this processing of personal data is therefore Art. 6 (1) a DSGVO.
A transfer of data to Facebook Inc. in the USA cannot be ruled out. The legal basis for this transfer is the standard contractual clauses for the transfer of personal data to processors in third countries. Please note the information in the section "Data transfer to third countries". 

14. Hotjar

Our website uses a plugin from the provider Hotjar Ltd. (Malta/EU), through which we perform an analysis of movements on our website using so-called "heat maps". For example, we can see how far users scroll and which buttons users click on how often. The tool also allows us to obtain feedback directly from users of the website. In this way, we obtain valuable information to make our website even faster and more customer friendly.

With Hotjar, we can only track which buttons are clicked, the course of the mouse, how far it scrolls, the screen size of the device, device type and browser information. We also receive information about your geographic location (country) and the preferred language for displaying our website. Areas of the websites where personal data of you or third parties are displayed are automatically hidden by Hotjar and therefore cannot be traced by the tool at any time. You can find further information on Hotjar's data protection on the following website: www.hotjar.com/legal/policies/privacy

Hotjar is only used with your consent in accordance with § 15 paragraph 3 TMG or Art. 6 paragraph 1 letter a DSGVO. You can revoke your consent at any time via the settings of our Consent Management.

15. Google Fonts and reCAPTCHA

We use on our website the services Google Fonts and reCAPTCHA of Google Ireland Limited (Ireland/EU).  For such integration, it is technically necessary to process your IP address so that the content can be sent to your browser. Your IP address is therefore transmitted to Google.

The integration of Google Fonts serves to display fonts and is done to protect our legitimate interests in the optimization and economic operation of our website. The legal basis is article 6 paragraph 1 letter f DSGVO.

The activation of reCAPTCHA is also only carried out with your consent in accordance with § 15 paragraph 3 TMG or Art. 6 paragraph 1 letter a DSGVO. You can revoke your consent at any time via the settings of our Consent Management.

In the case of Google services, a transfer of data to Google Inc. in the USA cannot be excluded. Please note the information in the section "Data transfer to third countries". Users can find further information on data protection at Google in the Google data protection notices: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy

III. Data Processing on our Social Media Pages

We are represented on several social media platforms with a corporate website. Through this we would like to offer further possibilities for information about our company and for exchange. Our company has company pages on the following social media platforms:

  • Facebook
  • Instagram
  • LinkedIn
  • Xing

When you visit or interact with a profile on a social media platform, personal data about you may be processed. The information associated with a social media profile used also regularly constitutes personal data. This also includes messages and statements made using the profile. In addition, during your visit to a social media profile, certain information about it is often automatically collected, which may also represent personal data.

The processing serves our legitimate interest in evaluating the types of actions performed on our site and improving our site based on this information. The legal basis for this processing is article 6 paragraph 1 letter f DSGVO. We cannot assign the information obtained via the Page Insights to individual Facebook or Instagram profiles that interact with our Facebook or Instagram Page. We have entered into an agreement with Meta on processing as jointly responsible party, which defines the distribution of the data protection obligations between us and Meta.

In principle, LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company (Ireland/EU - "LinkedIn") is solely responsible for the processing of personal data when visiting our LinkedIn site. For more information about LinkedIn's processing of personal data, please visit www.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy.

When you visit, follow or interact with our LinkedIn company site, LinkedIn processes personal information to provide us with statistics and insights in an anonymous form. This provides us with information about the types of actions that people take on our site (known as site insights). For this purpose, LinkedIn processes in particular such data that you have already provided to LinkedIn through the information in your profile, such as information on function, country, industry, seniority, company size and employment status. In addition, LinkedIn will process information about how you interact with our LinkedIn business site, such as whether you are a follower of our LinkedIn business site. LinkedIn does not provide us with any personal information about you through the Site Insights. We only have access to the summarized Page-Insights. It is also not possible for us to draw conclusions about individual members from the information contained in Page-Insights. This processing of personal data within the scope of the Seiten-Insights is carried out by LinkedIn and us as jointly responsible parties. The processing serves our legitimate interest in evaluating the types of actions performed on our LinkedIn corporate site and improving our corporate site based on these insights. The legal basis for this processing is article 6 paragraph 1 letter f DSGVO. We have entered into an agreement with LinkedIn on processing as jointly responsible party, in which the distribution of data protection obligations between us and LinkedIn is laid down. The agreement is available at: legal.linkedin.com/pages-joint-controller-addendum. Afterwards the following applies:
