Recipients of personal data
As part of our business activities, we work with various external agencies. In some cases, it is also necessary to transfer personal data to these external bodies. We only transfer personal data to external parties if this is necessary as part of fulfilling a contract, if we are legally obliged to do so (e.g. transfer of data to tax authorities), if we have a legitimate interest in the transfer of data in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR, or if another legal basis allows the transfer of data. When using contract processors, we only share our customers' personal data on the basis of a valid contract for order processing.

Withdrawal of your consent to data processing
Many data processing processes are only possible with your express consent. You can withdraw your consent at any time. The legality of the data processing carried out up to the time of revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

E OR F GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA AT ANY TIME FOR REASONS ARISING FROM YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING BASED ON THESE PROVISIONS.

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 delivered to yourself or to a third party in a common, machine-readable format.

Right to restrict processing
You have the right to request that the processing of your personal data be restricted. To do so, you can contact us at any time. The right to restrict processing exists in the following cases:
- If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we usually need time to verify this. For the duration of the audit, you have the right to request that the processing of your personal data be restricted.
- If the processing of your personal data was/happens unlawfully, you can request the restriction of data processing instead of deletion.
- If we no longer need your personal data, but you need it to exercise, defend or assert legal claims, you have the right to request that the processing of your personal data be restricted instead of deletion.
- If you have filed an objection in accordance with Article 21 (1) GDPR, a balance must be made between your interests and ours. As long as it is not yet clear whose interests prevail, you have the right to request that the processing of your personal data be restricted.
If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, this data — apart from storage — may only be processed with your consent or to assert, exercise or defend legal claims or to protect the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or a Member State.
SSL or TLS encryption

Cookies
Our websites use so-called “cookies.” Cookies are small data packets and do not cause any damage to your device. They are stored on your device either temporarily for the duration of a session (session cookies) or permanently (permanent cookies). Session cookies are automatically deleted at the end of your visit. Permanent cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them yourself or until they are automatically deleted by your web browser.
Cookies can come from us (first-party cookies) or from third-party companies (so-called third-party cookies). Third-party cookies make it possible to integrate certain services from third-party companies within websites (e.g. cookies to process payment services).
Cookies have various functions. Numerous cookies are technically necessary, as certain website functions would not work without them (e.g. the shopping cart function or the display of videos). Other cookies can be used to evaluate user behavior or for advertising purposes.
Cookies that are necessary to carry out the electronic communication process, to provide certain functions you have requested (e.g. for the shopping cart function) or to optimize the website (e.g. cookies to measure the web audience) (necessary cookies) are stored on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO, unless another legal basis is provided. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing necessary cookies for technically error-free and optimized provision of its services.

The data collected in this way is stored until you ask us to delete it, delete the CookieBot cookie yourself, or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies. Mandatory legal storage obligations remain unaffected. Cookiebot is used to obtain the legally required consent for the use of cookies. The legal basis for this is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR.

When using Microsoft Forms, personal data about you is processed. Please note that this privacy notice only informs you about how we process your personal data if you use Microsoft Forms together with us. If you need information about the processing by Microsoft, please view the corresponding statement at the following link: https://privacy.microsoft.com/de-de/privacystatement
The data of users from the European Union is processed in data centers within the European Economic Area (EEA). However, in order to provide the service and as part of support, it may be necessary for data to be processed at the headquarters of Microsoft Inc. in the USA. We have no influence on these processing activities. Microsoft has therefore taken additional technical and organizational measures to protect personal data. In particular, personal data is only transmitted in encrypted form. In addition, Microsoft has contractually committed to defend against requests for surrender from US authorities in court as far as possible. Therefore, in principle, an adequate level of protection can be assumed when processing personal data by Microsoft.
Microsoft is only a contract processor. Insofar as the Microsoft website www.Office.com or “Microsoft Forms” processes personal data or uses cookies, Microsoft is responsible for data processing. Microsoft cookies are used on the survey page to provide the Microsoft Forms service. For more information about data protection at Microsoft, see Microsoft Privacy Policy — Microsoft Privacy
Form owners have access to Forms and can create and distribute surveys, forms and questionnaires directly, either alone or with other owners. They are also the sole recipients of the answers.
When using “Microsoft Forms”, various types of data can be processed. Basically, this involves the following personal data:
- Name, first name
- email address
- Profile picture (optional if stored in Microsoft 365)
- Preferred language
- Status (optional if stored in Microsoft 365)
- date and time when the questionnaire was opened
- date and time when the answer was sent
If you take part in an anonymous survey, your answer does not contain any contact information and cannot be traced back to you. The data from surveys/forms/questionnaires (questions and answers) is stored in the Microsoft cloud and retrieved from there by the project team. Unless there is an operational need, legal obligation or a particular operational interest in permanent storage, all information will be deleted within one year after the purpose ceases to exist.

LinkedIn Insight Day
This website uses LinkedIn's Insight Tag. The provider of this service is LinkedIn IrelandUnlimited Company, Wilton Plaza, Wilton Place, Dublin 2, Ireland.
Data processing through LinkedIn Insight Tag
With the help of the LinkedIn Insight Tag, we obtain information about visitors to our website. If a website visitor is registered with LinkedIn, we can, among other things, analyse 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. We can also use LinkedIn Insight Tags to measure whether visitors to our websites make a purchase or other action (conversion measurement). Conversion measurement can also be carried out across devices (e.g. from PC to tablet). LinkedIn Insight Tag also offers a retargeting feature, which allows us to display targeted advertising to visitors to our website outside the website, although, according to LinkedIn, there is no identification of the advertising recipient.
LinkedIn itself also collects so-called log files (URL, referrer URL, IP address, device and browser properties and time of access). The IP addresses are truncated or (if they are used to reach LinkedIn members across devices) hashed (pseudonymized). LinkedIn members' direct IDs are deleted from LinkedIn after seven days. The remaining pseudonymized data is then deleted within 180 days.
As a website operator, we 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 as part of its own advertising measures. For details, see LinkedIn's privacy policy at https://www.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy#choices-oblig.

The data from the blacklist is only used for this purpose and is not combined with other data. This serves both your interest and our interest in complying with legal requirements when sending newsletters (legitimate interest within the meaning of Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR).
