An exception applies to cases in which prior consent cannot be obtained for reasons of fact and the processing of the data is permitted by law. 

2. Legal basis for the processing of personal data

Insofar as we obtain the consent of the data subject for processing of personal data, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) as legal basis.  

In the processing of personal data necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR as legal basis. This also applies to processing operations required to carry out pre-contractual actions.

Insofar as processing of personal data is required to fulfil a legal obligation that is subject to our company, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GPDR as legal basis.

In the event that vital interests of the data subject or another natural person require the processing of personal data, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. d GDPR as legal basis. 

If processing is necessary to safeguard the legitimate interests of our company or a third party, and if the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not prevail over the first interest, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR as legal basis for processing.

3. Data erasure and storage duration

The personal data of the data subject will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of the storage is deleted. In addition, such storage may be provided for by the European or national legislator in EU regulations, laws or other regulations to which the controller is subject. Blocking or erasure of the data also takes place when a storage period prescribed by the standards mentioned expires, unless there is a need for further storage of the data for conclusion of a contract or fulfilment of the contract.

(1) This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service of Google Inc. (“Google”). Google Analytics uses so-called “cookies,” text files that are stored on your computer and make it possible to analyse your usage of the website. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is generally sent to a Google server in the US, and saved there. In case of activation of IP anonymisation on this website, Google will, however, truncate your IP address beforehand within Member States of the European Union or other parties to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases is the complete IP address transmitted to a Google server in the US and shortened there. Google will use this information on behalf of the operator of this website in order to evaluate your use of the website, collate reports about website activity and deliver other services associated with use of the website and the internet to the website operator. 

(2) Google does not combine the IP address of your browser transmitted as part of Google Analytics with other data.

(3) You can prevent the cookies from being saved by using the corresponding setting in your browser software. However, we draw your attention to the fact that in this case you may not be able to make full use of all the functions on this website. You can also prevent the collection of the data created by the cookie relating to your use of the website (including your IP address) to Google, and the processing of this data by Google, by installing and downloading the browser plug-in available from the following link: tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en. 

(4) This website uses Google Analytics with the supplementary feature “_anonymizeIp()“. This makes sure that only shortened IP addresses are processed further, which prevents IP addresses from being allocated to specific persons. This means that, if and to the extent the data collected from you refer to you personally, allocation of the data to you personally is prevented right from the beginning and the personal data is thus deleted immediately.

(5) We use Google Analytics to be able to analyse and continuously improve the use of our website.  The statistics we gain thereby help us to improve our presentation and services and to offer you as the user a more interesting design. As to the exceptional cases where personal data is transferred to the USA, Google has agreed to respect and comply with the EU-US Privacy Shield, para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR.

(1) We currently use the following social media plug-ins Facebook, Google+, Twitter, Xing. In this context, we use the so-called two-click solution. This means that, when you visit our website, as a rule, we do not transfer any personal data to the plug-in providers at first. You can identify the plug-in provider by the mark in the box above the provider’s initial or by the provider’s logo. We offer you the opportunity to communicate directly with the plug-in provider by clicking the appropriate button. Only when you click the marked button and thus activate it, the plug-in provider is informed that you have accessed the relevant page of our website. The data mentioned in section V of this declaration will also be transferred to the plug-in provider. In the case of Facebook and Xing, pursuant to the relevant providers in Germany, the IP address is anonymized immediately after collection. Thus, if you activate the plug-in, your personal data is transferred to the relevant plug-in provider and stored there (in the case of US-American providers in the USA). Since the plug-in provider collects data in particular via cookies, we recommend that you delete all cookies in the security settings of your browser before you click the greyed-out box. 

(2) We can influence neither the collected data nor the data processing activities nor are we fully aware of the scope of data collection, the purposes of the processing or the duration of data storage. We do not know about the deletion of the collected data by the plug-in provider either. 

(3) The plug-in provider stores the data collected from you as a user profile and uses it for the purposes of advertising, market research and/or customized design of the provider’s website. This analysis serves in particular (also with regard to users who are not logged in) to provide customized advertising and inform other users of the social network about your activities on our website. You may oppose the preparation of these user profiles; if you want to exercise your right to oppose, you have to address your opposition to the relevant plug-in provider. We offer you the opportunity, via the plug-ins, to interact with the social networks and other users such that we can improve our presentation and services and offer you as the user a more interesting design. The legal basis for the use of plug-ins is Art. 6 subs. 1 sentence 1 f) GDPR. 

(4) The data is transferred regardless of whether or not you have an account with the plug-in provider or are logged in there. When you are logged in to the plug-in provider, the data we have collected from you is directly allocated to your account with the plug-in provider. When you click the activated button and, for instance, place a link on the page, the plug-in provider will store this information in your user account, too, and will also publicly communicate this information to your contacts. We therefore recommend that you always log out after you have used a social network and especially before you activate the button because thereby you can prevent the allocation of the information to your profile with the plug-in provider.

(5) More information about the purpose and scope of data collection and data processing by the plug-in provider is available in the privacy policies of the providers at the addresses listed below. They also contain further information on your rights and the possible settings to protect your privacy.

Only when you play the videos, will the data mentioned in subs. (2) be transferred to YouTube. We cannot influence this data transfer.

(2) When you access the website, YouTube is informed that you have accessed the appropriate page of our website. The data mentioned in sec. 3 (1) of this Privacy Policy is transferred, too. This happens regardless of whether YouTube provides a user account via which you are logged in or a user account does not exist. When you are logged in to Google, your data are directly assigned to your account.  If you do not want your data to be assigned to your profile at YouTube, you have to log out before you activate the button. YouTube stores your data as user profiles and uses them for the purposes of advertising, market research and/or customized design of the YouTube website. This analysis serves in particular (also with regard to users who are not logged in) to provide customized advertising and inform other users of the social network about your activities on our website. You may oppose the preparation of these user profiles; if you want to exercise your right to oppose, you have to address your opposition to YouTube.

If you want to unsubscribe from individual services (e.g. a certain customer programme), your registration for further services and, where applicable, the consent awarded for this purpose remain valid in the respective advertisement.

The revocation of consent shall not affect the legality of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent until revocation. 

9. Automated decision in individual cases including profiling

You have the right not to be subject to a decision based exclusively on automated processing - including profiling - that has legal effect against you or significantly impairs you in a similar manner. This does not apply if the decision

1. is necessary for the conclusion or performance of a contract between you and the data controller,
2. is admissible by law of the Union or of the Member States to which the data controller is subject and that law contains appropriate measures to safeguard your rights, freedoms and legitimate interests, or
3. with your express consent.

However, these decisions may not be based on special categories of personal data pursuant to Art. 9 para. 1 GDPR, unless Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a or g GDPR applies and appropriate measures have been taken to protect your rights and freedoms and your legitimate interests.

In the cases referred to in (1) and (3), the data controller shall take reasonable measures to safeguard your rights, freedoms and legitimate interests, including at least the right to obtain the intervention of a person by the data controller, to state his own position and to challenge the decision. 

We are currently not making any decisions that are based exclusively on an automated processing, including profiling. 

10. Right of appeal to a supervisory authority

Without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, you have the right of appeal to a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State where you reside, work or suspect of infringement, if you believe that the processing of personal data concerning you is contrary to the GDPR.

The supervisory authority to which the complaint has been lodged shall inform the complainant of the status and results of the complaint, including the possibility of a judicial remedy under Article 78 GDPR.
