Note about using federated web services:


Using apps from the Apple App Store:

These websites offer apps from Apple. In connection with Apple's services, personal data relating to persons residing in a member state of the European Economic Area or in Switzerland is maintained by Apple Distribution in Ireland.

Privacy policy for use and use of etracker:

The controller has integrated components of the company etracker on this website. Etracker is a web analysis service. Web analysis is the generation, collection and analysis of data about the behavior of visitors to websites. Among other things, a web analysis service collects data on which website an affected person has come from to a website (so-called referrers), which subpages of the website were accessed or how often and for which length of stay a subpage was viewed. A web analysis is mainly used to optimize a website and for the cost-benefit analysis of Internet advertising.


The operating company of etracker is etracker GmbH, Erste Brunnenstraße 1, 20459 Hamburg, Germany.


Etracker sets a cookie on the information technology system of the person concerned. What cookies are, has already been explained above. Each time one of the individual pages on this website, which is operated by the controller and on which an etracker component has been integrated, the Internet browser on the information technology system of the person concerned is automatically caused by the respective etracker component to transfer marketing data – and to send to etracker for optimization purposes. In the context of this technical procedure, etracker obtains information about data that will subsequently be used to create pseudonymous usage profiles. The usage profiles obtained in this way are used to analyze the behavior of the data subject who has accessed the website of the controller and are evaluated with the aim of improving and optimizing the website. The data collected via the etracker component will not be used to identify the data subject without first obtaining the specific and explicit consent of the data subject. These data are not combined with personal data or other data containing the same pseudonym.


The affected person can prevent the setting of cookies through our website, as shown above, at any time by means of a corresponding setting of the Internet browser used and thus permanently contradict the setting of cookies. Such a setting of the Internet browser used would also prevent etracker setting a cookie on the information technology system of the person concerned. In addition, cookies already set by etracker can be deleted at any time via the Internet browser or other software programs.


Furthermore, the data subject has the possibility of objecting to a detection of the data generated by the etracker cookie and of processing this data by etracker and to prevent such data related to the use of this website. To do this, the person concerned must press the cookie-set button under the link http://www.etracker.de/privacy?et=V23Jbb, which sets an opt-out cookie. The opt-out cookie set against the objection will be placed on the information technology system used by the data subject. If the cookies on the affected person's system are deleted after an appeal, the data subject must revisit the link and set a new opt-out cookie.

By setting the opt-out cookie, however, it is possible that the website of the controller for the data subject is no longer fully usable.


The applicable data protection regulations of etracker can be found at https://www.etracker.com/de/datenschutz.html.


Using Google Webfonts:

On these websites external fonts, Google fonts are used. The integration of these web fonts is done by a server call, usually a Google server in the USA. It will be transmitted to the server, which of our websites you have visited. Also, the IP address of the browser of the terminal of the visitor of this website is stored by Google.


Using Google Maps

This website uses Google Maps API to visually display geographic information. When using Google Maps, Google also collects, processes and uses data about the use of map features by visitors.

Social Media Plugins

Our websites use social media plugins from the providers listed below. The plugins can be recognized by the fact that they are marked with the appropriate logo.

These plug-ins may be used to send information, which may include personal information, to the service provider and may be used by the service provider. We prevent the unconscious and unwanted collection and transmission of data to the service provider through a 2-click solution. To activate a desired social plugin, this must first be activated by clicking on the corresponding switch. Only through this activation of the plugin is the detection of information and its transmission to the service provider triggered. We do not collect personally identifiable information by means of social plugins or their use.

We have no control over what data an enabled plugin collects and how it is used by the provider. At present, it must be assumed that a direct connection to the services of the provider will be developed and at least the IP address and device-related information will be collected and used. It is also possible that the service providers try to save cookies on the computer used. Please refer to the privacy policy of the respective service provider to see which specific data is collected here and how it is used. Note: If you are logged in to Facebook at the same time, Facebook may identify you as a visitor to a particular page.


We have integrated the social media buttons of the following companies on our website:

Facebook Inc. (1601 S. California Ave - Palo Alto - CA 94304 - USA)

Twitter Inc. (795 Folsom St. - Suite 600 - San Francisco - CA 94107 - USA)

Google Plus / Google Inc. (1600 Amphitheater Parkway - Mountain View - CA 94043 - USA)

XING AG (Gänsemarkt 43 - 20354 Hamburg - Germany)

LinkedIn Corporation (2029 Stierlin Court - Mountain View - CA 94043 - United States)


Legal basis of processing

Art. 6 GDPR serves our company as the legal basis for processing operations in which we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose. If the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, as is the case, for example, in processing operations necessary for the supply of goods or the provision of any other service or consideration, processing shall be based on Art. 6 I lit. b GDPR. The same applies to processing operations that are necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures, for example in cases of inquiries regarding our products or services. If our company is subject to a legal obligation through which a processing of personal data is required, such as for the fulfillment of tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6 GDPR. In rare cases, the processing of personal data may be required to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor to our premises were injured and his or her name, age, health insurance or other vital information would have to be passed on to a doctor, hospital or other third party. In that case, the processing would be based on Art. 6 GDPR.

Ultimately, processing operations could be based on Art. 6 GDPR. On this legal basis, processing operations that are not covered by any of the above legal bases are required if processing is necessary to safeguard the legitimate interests of our company or a third party, unless the interests, fundamental rights and fundamental freedoms of the person concerned prevail. Such processing operations are particularly allowed to us because they have been specifically mentioned by the European legislator. In that regard, it considered that a legitimate interest could be assumed if the data subject is a customer of the controller (recital 47, second sentence, GDPR).


Authorized interests in the processing that are being pursued by the controller or a third party

If the processing of personal data is based on Article 6 of the GDPR, our legitimate interest is the performance of our business for the benefit of all of our employees and our shareholders.


Duration for which the personal data is stored

The criterion for the duration of the storage of personal data is the respective statutory retention period. After the deadline, the corresponding data will be routinely deleted, if they are no longer required to fulfill the contract or to initiate a contract.

Legal or contractual provisions for the provision of personal data; Necessity for the conclusion of the contract;

Obligation of the data subject to provide the personal data; possible consequences of non-provision

We clarify that the provision of personal information is in part required by law (such as tax regulations) or may result from contractual arrangements (such as details of the contractor).

Occasionally it may be necessary for a contract to be concluded that an affected person provides us with personal data that must subsequently be processed by us. For example, the data subject is required to provide us with personal information when our company enters into a contract with her. Failure to provide the personal data would mean that the contract with the person concerned could not be closed.

Prior to any personal data being provided by the person concerned, the person concerned must contact one of our employees. Our employee will inform the individual on a case-by-case basis whether the provision of the personal data is required by law or contract or required for the conclusion of the contract, whether there is an obligation to provide the personal data, and what would be the consequence of the non-provision of the personal data.


Existence of automated decision making

As a responsible company we refrain from automatic decision-making or profiling.
