In accordance with Article 1(b) of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the processing of personal data is permitted only if it is necessary for the fulfilment of a contract or for the performance of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective handling of enquiries addressed to us (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR), if this has been requested.

The data you enter in the contact form will be stored securely by us in accordance with our data retention policy.

Communication via WhatsApp

In order to communicate with our customers and other third parties, we use the instant messaging service WhatsApp, among others. The provider is WhatsApp Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland.

End-to-end encryption ensures that content remains private and secure, preventing unauthorised access by third parties such as WhatsApp. However, it should be noted that WhatsApp does have access to metadata that arises during the communication process (e.g. sender, recipient, and time). It is also important to note that WhatsApp, according to its own statement, shares the personal data of its users with its parent company Facebook, which is based in the USA. For more details on data processing, please refer to WhatsApp's privacy policy here.

The use of WhatsApp is based on our legitimate interest in quick and effective communication with customers, interested parties, and other business and contractual partners (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR).

Mandatory legal provisions, in particular retention periods, remain unaffected.

We use the professional version of WhatsApp, known as "WhatsApp Business"

The transfer of data to the USA is subject to the standard contractual clauses established by the EU Commission. Please refer to the attached documentation for further details.

Analysis tools and advertising

Google Tag Manager

Google Tag Manager is the tool of choice. The provider is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

The Google Tag Manager is a tool that allows us to integrate tracking or statistics tools and other technologies on our website. The Google Tag Manager itself does not create user profiles, store cookies, or conduct independent analyses. Its primary function is to manage and distribute the integrated tools. Please note that the Google Tag Manager does collect your IP address, which may also be transferred to Google's parent company in the United States.

Google Analytics

This website utilises features of the web analysis service Google Analytics. Google Ireland Limited, trading as Google, is the provider. The company's registered office is at Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

Google Analytics is a tool that enables website operators to analyse the behaviour of website visitors. In this context, the website operator receives various usage data, such as page views, time spent, operating systems used, and the origin of the user. Google may compile this data into a profile associated with the respective user or their device.

Furthermore, we can record mouse and scroll movements, as well as clicks, using Google Analytics. Additionally, Google Analytics employs various modelling approaches to enhance the collected datasets and utilises machine learning technologies for data analysis.

Google Analytics employs technologies designed to identify users and analyse their behaviour (e.g., cookies or device fingerprinting). Google generally transmits the information it collects about the use of this website to a Google server located in the USA, where it is stored.

The utilisation of this analytical instrument is governed by Art. 6 para. Please refer to Article 1 of the GDPR for further information. The website operator has a legitimate interest in analysing user behaviour to optimise both their web offerings and their advertising. If consent has been requested (e.g. consent for the storage of cookies), the processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 para. Please be advised that the consent can be revoked at any time, as outlined in Article 1(lit. a) of the GDPR.

The transfer of data to the USA is subject to the standard contractual clauses established by the EU Commission. Please refer to the attached documentation for further details.

IP anonymisation

We have activated this feature on our website. This means that Google will truncate your IP address within European Union member states or other European Economic Area contracting states before transmitting it to the USA. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be sent to a Google server in the US, where it will then be truncated. Google will use this information on behalf of the operator of this website to evaluate your use of the website, compile reports on website activity and provide the website operator with other services relating to website and internet activity. The IP address transmitted from your browser within Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.

Browser Plugin

You can prevent Google from collecting and processing your data by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at the following link

You can find more information about how user data is handled in Google Analytics in the Google Privacy Policy.

Demographic characteristics in Google Analytics

This website uses Google Analytics' "demographic features" to show visitors appropriate advertisements within the Google advertising network.

As a result, reports can be generated that include information about the age, gender and interests of visitors to the page. This data originates from Google's interest-based advertising and visitor data from third-party providers. This data cannot be attributed to any specific person. You can disable this feature at any time via the ad settings in your Google account, or you can generally prohibit Google Analytics from collecting your data as outlined in the 'Objection to data collection' section.

Storage duration

Google will anonymise or delete data stored at the user and event level, linked to cookies, user identifiers (e.g., User ID), or advertising IDs (e.g., DoubleClick cookies, Android advertising ID), after 2 months. Please refer to the link provided for further details.

Google Ads

The website operator uses Google Ads. Google Ads is an online advertising programme operated by Google Ireland Limited, which is registered in Ireland at Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

Google Ads allows us to display advertisements in the Google search engine or on third-party websites when the user enters certain search terms in Google (keyword targeting). Furthermore, targeted advertisements can be displayed based on the user data available at Google (e.g., location data and interests) (audience targeting). As the website operator, we are able to quantitatively evaluate this data by analysing which search terms led to the display of our advertisements and how many ads led to corresponding clicks.

The use of Google Ads is based on Art. 6 Abs. Please refer to Article 1 of the GDPR for further information. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the most effective marketing of its services and products.

The transfer of data to the USA is subject to the standard contractual clauses established by the EU Commission. Please refer to the link provided for further information.

This website utilises Google AdSense, a service that facilitates the integration of advertisements. Google Ireland Limited, trading as Google, is the provider. The company's registered office is at Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

Google AdSense is utilised in the "non-personalised" mode. Advertisements are not based on previous user behaviour in this mode, and no user profile is created. Instead, so-called "context information" is used in selecting the ads. The selected advertisements are then directed, for example, based on the user's location, the content of the website they are on, or their current search terms. Further information regarding the distinctions between personalised and non-personalised targeting with Google AdSense can be found here .

Please be advised that even when Google AdSense is used in non-personalised mode, cookies or comparable recognition technologies (e.g. device fingerprinting) may be employed. Google has stated that these are used to combat fraud and abuse.

The use of AdSense is based on Art. 6 Abs. Please refer to Article 1 of the GDPR for further information. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the most effective marketing of its website. If appropriate consent has been requested, the processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 Abs. Please be advised that the GDPR applies in this instance. You have the right to withdraw your consent at any time.

The transfer of data to the USA is subject to the standard contractual clauses established by the EU Commission. Please refer to the attached documentation for further details.

You have the option to make independent adjustments to your ad settings via your user account. To proceed, please click on the following link and log in.

For more information about Google's advertising technologies, please refer to the links provided.

Google Remarketing

This website utilises the features of Google Analytics Remarketing. Google Ireland Limited, trading as Google, is the provider. The company's registered office is at Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

Google Remarketing analyses user behaviour on our website (e.g. clicks on specific products) to categorise you into certain advertising target groups and subsequently display relevant web messages to you when you visit other online offerings (Remarketing or Retargeting).

Furthermore, the advertising target groups created with Google Remarketing can be linked with Google's cross-device functionalities. In this way, interest-based, personalised advertising messages that have been tailored to you based on your previous usage and surfing behaviour on one device (e.g. mobile) can also be shown to you on another of your devices (e.g. tablet or PC).

If you have a Google Account, you can object to personalised advertising here .

The use of Google Remarketing is based on Art. 6 para. Please refer to Article 1 of the GDPR for further information. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the most effective marketing of his products. If consent has been requested, processing will take place solely on the basis of Art. 6 para. Please be advised that the GDPR applies in this instance. You have the right to withdraw your consent at any time.

Please refer to the Google Privacy Policy for further information and details of the data protection regulations.

The creation of target groups is dependent on customer matching

For audience targeting, we use the customer matching feature of Google Remarketing, as well as other tools. In this process, we transfer certain customer data (e.g. email addresses) from our customer lists to Google. If the respective customers are Google users and logged into their Google accounts, they will see relevant advertising messages within the Google network (e.g., on YouTube, Gmail, or in the search engine).

Facebook Pixel

This website utilises visitor action pixels from Facebook for conversion measurement. The service is provided by Facebook Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Dublin 2, Ireland. However, according to Facebook, this data is also transmitted to the USA and other third countries.

This allows for the behaviour of page visitors to be tracked after they have been redirected to the provider's website by clicking on a Facebook advertisement. This allows us to evaluate the effectiveness of Facebook advertisements for statistical and market research purposes, and to optimise future advertising measures.

The data collected is anonymised for us as the operators of this website; we cannot draw any conclusions about the identity of the users. However, it should be noted that data is stored and processed by Facebook, enabling a connection to the respective user profile to be established. Furthermore, Facebook reserves the right to use the data for its own advertising purposes in accordance with the Facebook Data Use Policy. This enables Facebook to serve ads on Facebook's sites as well as outside of Facebook. As the site operator, we are unable to influence the use of the data.

The use of Facebook Pixel is based on Art. 6 para. Please refer to Article 1 of the GDPR for further information. The website operator has a legitimate interest in effective advertising measures, including social media. If the user has consented to this, processing will occur exclusively based on Art. 6 para. Please be advised that the GDPR applies in this instance. You have the right to withdraw your consent at any time.

The transfer of data to the USA is subject to the standard contractual clauses established by the EU Commission. Please refer to the links provided for further information.

In the event that personal data is collected on our website using the tool described here and forwarded to Facebook, we and Facebook 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 solely to the collection of data and its transfer to Facebook. The processing that occurs after forwarding by Facebook is not part of the joint responsibility. The obligations that we share have been documented in an agreement on joint processing. The agreement can be found here . As per the terms of this agreement, we are responsible for providing the requisite data protection information when utilising the Facebook tool, in addition to ensuring the data protection-compliant implementation of the tool on our website. Facebook is responsible for the data security of Facebook products. Should you wish to exercise your rights as an affected party (for example, to make a request for information) regarding the data processed by Facebook, you can do so directly with Facebook. If you assert the rights of affected parties with us, we are obliged to forward these to Facebook.

You also have the option to deactivate the remarketing feature "Custom Audiences" in the settings for advertisements here . In order to carry out this process, it is necessary to be logged into your Facebook account.

LinkedIn Insight Tag

This website utilises the Insight Tag from LinkedIn. The service is provided by LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company, which is based at Wilton Plaza, Wilton Place, Dublin 2, Ireland.

Data processing by LinkedIn Insight Tag

The LinkedIn Insight Tag provides us with valuable insights into the visitors to our website. Should a website visitor be registered on LinkedIn, we can analyse various professional details (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 tracking). Conversion tracking can also be cross-device (e.g., from PC to tablet). The LinkedIn Insight Tag also offers a retargeting function, which allows us to show targeted ads to website visitors outside of the site. According to LinkedIn, this function does not identify 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 shortened or hashed (pseudonymized) if they are used to reach LinkedIn members across devices. Please be advised that LinkedIn deletes direct identifiers of members after seven days. The remaining pseudonymised data is then deleted wit in 180 days.

LinkedIn does not allow us, as website operators, to assign the data collected 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 advertising measures. For further details, please refer to LinkedIn's privacy policy.

Legal basis

The use of LinkedIn Insight is based on Art. 6 para. Please refer to Article 1 of the GDPR for further information. The website operator has a legitimate interest in implementing effective advertising measures, including social media, in order to promote the website and its associated services. If the relevant parties have been asked to consent to the storage of cookies, for example, the processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 para. Please be advised that the GDPR applies in this instance. You have the right to withdraw your consent at any time..

The transfer of data to the USA is subject to the standard contractual clauses established by the EU Commission. Please refer to the link provided for further information .

Objection to the use of LinkedIn Insight Tag

LinkedIn's analysis of user behaviour, as well as the implementation of targeted advertising, is demonstrated here .

Furthermore, LinkedIn members have the ability to manage the usage of their personal data for advertising purposes within their account settings. To avoid linking the data collected on our website by LinkedIn with your LinkedIn account, you must log out of your LinkedIn account before visiting our website.

Newsletter

If you would like to receive the newsletter offered on the website, we will need to collect your email address and some additional information to verify your identity and to ensure that you are the owner of the specified email address and that you agree to receive the newsletter. No further data will be collected, and any future collection will be on a voluntary basis. We would like to assure you that the data will be used exclusively for the dispatch of the requested information. Rest assured that it will not be passed on to third parties.

The processing of data entered in the newsletter registration form is carried out exclusively on the basis of your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR). You have the option to revoke the consent you have given for the storage of data, the email address, and their use for sending the newsletter at any time, such as via the "Unsubscribe" link in the newsletter. The legality of any previously conducted data processing remains unchanged by the revocation.

The data you provided when subscribing to the newsletter will be stored by us until you unsubscribe or the purpose changes, at which point it will be deleted from the newsletter distribution list. We reserve the right to delete or block email addresses from our newsletter distribution list at our discretion as part of our legitimate interest under Art. 6 para. Please refer to Article 1 of the GDPR for further information.

Following your unsubscription from the newsletter distribution list, your email address will be stored by us or the newsletter service provider on a blacklist. This is to prevent future mailings. The data from the blacklist will be used solely for this purpose and will not be merged with other data. This approach serves both your interests and our obligations in complying with the legal requirements for sending newsletters (legitimate interest as defined in Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR). The storage in the blacklist is not time-limited. Should your interests take precedence over our legitimate interests, you have the option to object to the storage.
