Each time you access one of our pages that contains LinkedIn features, a connection is established to LinkedIn servers. LinkedIn is informed that you have visited our website using your IP address. If you click the LinkedIn "Recommend" button and are logged into your LinkedIn account, LinkedIn can associate your visit to our website with you and your user account. We would like to point out that, as the provider of the pages, we have no knowledge of the content of the transmitted data or how it is used by LinkedIn.

Contact form

If you contact us by email or via a contact form, the data you provide, including your contact details, will be stored in order to process your inquiry or to be available for follow-up questions. This data will not be shared without your consent.

The data entered into the contact form will be processed exclusively on the basis of your consent (Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR). You can revoke your previously granted consent at any time. An informal email notification is sufficient for revocation. The legality of the data processing operations carried out up to the time of revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

Data submitted via the contact form will remain with us until you request its deletion, revoke your consent to storage, or until data storage is no longer necessary. Mandatory legal provisions—in particular, retention periods—remain unaffected.

Data use and sharing

We will neither sell nor otherwise market the personal data you provide to us, for example, via email (e.g., your name and address or your email address). Your personal data will be processed only for correspondence with you and only for the purpose for which you provided it to us. To process payments, we will pass your payment details on to the credit institution responsible for the payment.

The data automatically collected when you visit our website is used solely for the purposes stated above. The data will not be used for any other purpose.

We assure you that we will not pass on your personal data to third parties unless we are legally obliged to do so or you have given us your prior consent.

SSL or TLS encryption

For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as inquiries you send to us as the site operator, our website uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of your browser changes from "http://" to "https://" and by the lock symbol in your browser's address bar.

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

§ Storage period

Personal data communicated to us via our website will only be stored until the purpose for which it was entrusted to us has been fulfilled. Insofar as retention periods under commercial and tax law apply, the storage period for certain data may be up to 10 years.

§ Rights of those affected

With regard to the personal data concerning you, as a data subject, you have the following rights vis-à-vis the controller in accordance with the statutory provisions:

2.1 Right of withdrawal

Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. If the processing of your data is based on your consent, you have the right to revoke your consent to the processing of data at any time with future effect in accordance with Art. 7 (3) GDPR. Revoking your consent does not affect the legality of the processing carried out on the basis of your consent up to the time of revocation. Revoking your consent does not affect the storage of data for billing and accounting purposes.

2.2 Right to information

You have the right, in accordance with Art. 15 GDPR, to request confirmation from us as to whether we process personal data concerning you. If such processing exists, you have the right to information about your personal data processed by us, the purposes of the processing, the categories of personal data processed, the recipients or categories of recipients to whom your data has been or will be disclosed, the planned storage period or the criteria for determining the storage period, the existence of a right to rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, objection to processing, complaint to a supervisory authority, the origin of your data if it was not collected from you by us, the existence of automated decision-making, including profiling, and, where applicable, meaningful information about the logic involved and the scope and intended effects of such processing concerning you, as well as your right to be informed of the guarantees in place under Art. 46 GDPR when your data is transferred to third countries.

2.3 Right to rectification
In accordance with Art. 16 GDPR, you have the right to request the immediate rectification of inaccurate personal data concerning you and/or the completion of incomplete data at any time.

2.4 Right to erasure
You have the right to request the erasure of your personal data in accordance with Art. 17 GDPR if one of the following reasons applies:

Your personal data is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected or otherwise processed.
You withdraw your consent on which the processing was based pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (a) or Art. 9 (2) (a) GDPR and there is no other legal basis for the processing.
You object to the processing pursuant to Art. 21 (1) GDPR and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing, or you object to the processing pursuant to Art. 21 (2) GDPR.
The personal data was processed unlawfully.
The erasure of personal data is necessary to fulfill a legal obligation under Union law or the law of the Member State to which we are subject.
The personal data were collected in relation to information society services offered in accordance with Art. 8 (1) GDPR.

However, this right does not apply if processing is necessary:

to exercise the right to freedom of expression and information;
to fulfill a legal obligation required by Union or Member State law to which we are subject or to perform a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in us;
for reasons of public interest in the area of public health pursuant to Art. 9 (2) (h) and (i) and Art. 9 (3) GDPR;
for archiving purposes in the public interest, scientific or historical research purposes or statistical purposes pursuant to Art. 89 (1) GDPR, insofar as the rights of the data subject are likely to make the achievement of the objectives of this processing impossible or seriously compromise it, or
to assert, exercise or defend legal claims.

If we have made your personal data public and are obliged to delete it in accordance with the above, we will take appropriate measures, including technical ones, taking into account the available technology and the implementation costs, to inform data controllers which process the personal data that you, as the data subject, have requested the deletion of all links to your personal data or of copies or replications of these personal data.

2.5 Right to restriction of processing

Pursuant to Art. 18 GDPR, you have the right to request the restriction of processing (blocking) of your personal data. You can contact us at any time at the address provided in the legal notice. The right to restriction of processing exists in the following cases:

If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we generally need time to verify this. You have the right to request that the processing of your personal data be restricted while we verify your claim.
If the processing of your personal data was/is unlawful, you can request the restriction of data processing instead of deletion.
If we no longer need your personal data, but you require 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 deleted.
If you have lodged an objection pursuant to Art. 21 (1) GDPR, your interests must be weighed against 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 may – with the exception of its storage – only be processed with your consent or for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims or to protect the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interest of the EU or a Member State.

2.6 Right to information

If you have asserted your right to rectification, erasure, or restriction of processing against us, we are obligated to notify all recipients to whom your personal data was disclosed of this rectification, erasure, or restriction of processing, unless doing so proves impossible or involves disproportionate effort. Pursuant to Art. 19 GDPR, you have the right to be informed of these recipients upon request.

2.7 Right not to be subjected to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling

According to Art. 22 GDPR, you have the right not to be subjected to a decision based solely on automated processing – including profiling – that produces legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affects you.

This does not apply if the decision:

is necessary for the conclusion or performance of a contract between you and us,
is permitted by Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject and which contains appropriate measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms and your legitimate interests, or
with your express consent.

However, in the cases referred to in (a) to (c), the decisions may not be based on special categories of personal data pursuant to Art. 9 (1) GDPR, unless Art. 9 (2) (a) or (g) applies and appropriate measures to protect your rights and freedoms as well as your legitimate interests have been taken.

In the cases referred to in (a) and (c), we shall take appropriate measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms and your legitimate interests, including at least the right to obtain human intervention on the part of the controller, to express your point of view and to contest the decision.

2.8 Right to data portability

If the processing is based on your consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR or Art. 9 (2) (a) GDPR or on a contract in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR and is carried out using automated procedures, you have the right, in accordance with Art. 20 GDPR, to receive your personal data that you have provided to us in a structured, common and machine-readable format and to transmit it to another controller or to request that it be transmitted to another controller, where technically feasible.

2.9 Right of objection

To the extent that we base the processing of your personal data on the balancing of interests pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (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 this provision. The respective legal basis on which processing is based can be found in this privacy policy. If you object, we will no longer process your personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that outweigh your interests, rights and freedoms or the processing serves to assert, exercise or defend legal claims (objection pursuant to Art. 21 (1) GDPR).

If your personal data is processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you for the purposes of such advertising; this also applies to profiling insofar as it is related to such direct marketing. If you object, your personal data will subsequently no longer be used for direct marketing purposes (objection pursuant to Art. 21 (2) GDPR).

In connection with the use of information society services, you have the option of exercising your right of objection by means of automated procedures that use technical specifications, notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC.

2.10 Right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority pursuant to Art. 77 GDPR

In the event of violations of the GDPR, data subjects have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of their habitual residence, place of work, or place of the alleged violation. This right of complaint is without prejudice to other administrative or judicial remedies.

The supervisory authority responsible for us is:
