It cannot be ruled out that data transmitted by you without encryption can be viewed by third parties during transmission. It is pointed out that with regard to data transmission via the Internet (e.g. communication by e-mail) no conclusive secure transmission can be guaranteed. Sensitive data should therefore either not be transmitted at all or only via a secure connection (SSL) over the Internet.

Newsletter with success measurement

Insofar as you order our electronic newsletter, your personal data will be processed for the purpose of regularly sending our newsletter on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (1) lit. a) GDPR. The logging of the registration process is based on our legitimate interests pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (1) lit. f) GDPR and serves as proof of consent to receive the newsletter.

The registration for our newsletter takes place in a so-called double opt-in process. This means that after registration you will receive an e-mail in which you are asked to confirm your registration. This confirmation is necessary so that no one can register with foreign e-mail addresses. The registrations for the newsletter are logged in order to be able to prove the registration process according to the legal requirements. This includes the storage of the registration and confirmation time, as well as the IP address. Likewise, the changes to your data stored with the shipping service provider are logged.

In case of non-consent, it is unfortunately not possible for us to provide you with our newsletter. An automated decision-making process is not carried out.

The newsletters contain a so-called "web beacon", i.e. a pixel-sized file that is retrieved from the server of the dispatch service provider when the newsletter is opened. Within the scope of this retrieval, technical information, such as information about the browser and your system, as well as your IP address and the time of the retrieval are initially collected. This information is used for the technical improvement of the services based on the technical data or the target groups and their reading behavior based on their retrieval locations (which can be determined with the help of the IP address) or the access times in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (1) lit. f) GDPR. The statistical surveys also include the determination of whether the newsletters are opened, when they are opened and which links are clicked. This information is anonymized, a conclusion to your e-mail address is not possible. The evaluations serve us to recognize the reading habits of our users and to adapt our content to them or to send different content according to the interests of our users.

A transfer of your personal data to external third parties takes place to:

Microsoft Ireland Operations Limited, One Microsoft Place, South County Business Park, Leopardstown, Dublin 18, Irland

You have the right to revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future. The legality of the data processing until the revocation remains unaffected.

Your personal data, which you provide to us in the context of ordering the newsletter, will be stored by us until you revoke your consent to receive the newsletter and will be removed from the distribution list after you unsubscribe.

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Marketing

We use Microsoft Dynamics 365 Marketing (Microsoft Ireland Operations Limited, One Microsoft Place, South County Business Park, Leopardstown, Dublin 18, Ireland; hereinafter "Microsoft Dynamics 365 Marketing") for registration processing of our services, such as newsletters. Microsoft Dynamics 365 Marketing is a service that can be used, among other things, to organize and analyze the sending of newsletters. The data you enter for the purpose of receiving newsletters is stored on Microsoft's servers in Dublin, Ireland and in Amsterdam, Netherlands. Our newsletters sent with Microsoft Dynamics 365 Marketing allow us to analyze the behavior of newsletter recipients. Here, among other things, it can be analyzed how many recipients have opened the newsletter message and how often which link in the newsletter was clicked. With the help of so-called conversion tracking, it can also be analyzed whether a predefined action (e.g. registration for one of our services on our website) has taken place after clicking on the link in the newsletter. This behavioral data is stored on the respective contact record in our CRM system based on Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales and deleted after one year.

The legal basis for the collection is your consent in accordance with Section 25 (1) TTDSG. You have the right to revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future. The lawfulness of the data processing until the revocation remains unaffected. The legality of the data processing operations already carried out remains unaffected by the revocation. If you reject analysis by Microsoft Dynamics 365 Marketing, you must unsubscribe from the newsletter. For this purpose, we provide a corresponding link in each newsletter message.

The data you provide for the purpose of receiving the newsletter will be stored by us until you unsubscribe from the newsletter and will be deleted from the servers of Microsoft Dynamics 365 Marketing after you unsubscribe from the newsletter. Data that has been stored by us for other purposes (e.g. e-mail addresses from the area of our business relationships) remains unaffected by this.

Web conferencing tools

We want to make communication with prospects, customers and users easier and adapted to the current technical and practical reality. Therefore, we use conferencing tools for video and audio conferencing. You can find out which individual web conferencing tools we use in the following section.

As a rule, data is first collected that represents metadata and technical data of the users and the conferences. Metadata includes, for example, the duration of the conference, the period of participation, the number of participants or the name and/or description of the meeting. Technical data are such as the IP addresses and device as well as hardware information of the participants, such as MAC addresses, device and operating systems or information about peripheral devices and connection quality. In the case of optional participation via a cell phone, further data may be stored in addition to the telephone number. In addition, the data collected includes all data that you provide for the use of the service (in some cases also optionally). The usual data here are the name, telephone number, e-mail address and other log and profile data.

During a meeting in a web conferencing tool, video and audio data recorded by your microphone/camera, as well as any content that can be uploaded (messages in chats, surveys or similar, as well as other files such as presentation documents) can be processed, logged or displayed. When optionally using the recording function of web conferences, this data can be stored permanently, also on servers of service providers.

However, we would like to point out that we generally have no influence on what data is collected. Accordingly, failure to provide the aforementioned data may mean that it is not possible for you to participate in the web conference. No automated decision-making will be carried out. Details on the processing of data by the services concerned can be found in the data protection notices of the respective services, which are designated in the following section.

We use the web conferencing tools to communicate with you in a simple, effective and direct way. The legal basis for this is our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (1) lit. f) GDPR. In the case of an existing contractual relationship, the use of such a service serves the purpose of providing a service, for which the legal basis of the processing is Art. 6 (1) (1) lit. b) GDPR. The same legal basis arises for the registration as well as the participation in an online webinar offered by us. If your consent has been obtained, the legal basis for processing the data is Art. 6 (1) (1) lit. a) GDPR and Section 25 (1) TTDSG, provided that the consent within the meaning of the TTDSG relates to the setting of cookies or access to information on your terminal device. You have the right to revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future. The legality of the data processing carried out until the revocation remains unaffected.

We have no influence on the storage period of the data stored by the service providers for their own purposes. If you request us to delete the data or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies, we will delete your data unless mandatory legal provisions prevent this. Cookies stored by you remain on your terminal device until you delete them.

Microsoft Teams

We use the web conferencing tool Microsoft Teams. This is an application of Microsoft Corporation (One Microsoft Way, Redmond, WA 98052-6399, USA; hereinafter: "Microsoft").

The personal data you provide will be collected and processed exclusively for the purpose of conducting external and internal video conferences as part of a contractual relationship pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (1) lit. b) GDPR. 

If no contractual relationship exists, the legal basis is Art. 6 (1) (1) lit. f) GDPR. Our interest here is the effective communication and exchange of the parties involved.

Social media

We would like to get in touch with you and other interested parties, customers and users. We use various social networks for this purpose. You can find out which individual social networks we use in the following section.

As a rule, data is collected that is used for market research and advertising purposes. Such data includes the assignment of your visit to our website to your user account with the social network or the assignment by means of your stored cookies or your IP address. This is usually done by creating user profiles and the interests determined from them. This makes it possible to display tailored advertising, both on and off the social network. Therefore, as a rule, cookies may be set on you through the use of social networks. However, we would like to point out that we generally have no influence on what data is collected.

Through the social media presences, we would like to communicate information to you in the simplest and quickest way or give you the opportunity to share such. Therefore, unless you have consented to data processing on the respective platform, the legal basis is our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (1) lit. f) GDPR.  If you have consented on the respective platform, the legal basis for processing is your consent pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (1) lit. a) GDPR and Section 25 (1) TTDSG, if the consent within the meaning of the TTDSG relates to the setting of cookies or access to information on your terminal device. You have the right to revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future. The lawfulness of the data processing until the revocation remains unaffected.

If you revoke your consent, request us to delete the data or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies, we will delete your data unless mandatory legal provisions prevent this. Cookies stored by you remain on your terminal device until you delete them.

The data processed as a result of your visit to our appearances on social media websites are classified as data processing initiated by us, and are thus subject to joint responsibility with the operator of the social media website pursuant to Art. 26 GDPR. Joint responsibility is limited to those processing operations where the purpose and means of the processing are decided jointly. If you wish to assert your data protection rights, you can do so both against us and against the operator of the social media website.

Furthermore, we would like to point out that your data may also be processed outside the European Union and that you therefore run the risk of not being able to properly enforce your rights.
