General information on the legal basis for the data processing on this website
If you have consented to data processing, we process your personal data on the basis of Art. 6 para.1 lit.a GDPR or Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a GDPR, if special categories of data are processed according to Art. 9 para. 1 GDPR. In the case of explicit consent to the transfer of personal data to third countries, the data processing is also based on Art. 49 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. If you have consented to the storage of cookies or to the access to information in your end device (e.g., via device fingerprinting), the data processing is additionally based on § 25 (para. 1 TTDSG. The consent can be revoked at any time. If your data is required for the fulfillment of a contract or for the implementation of pre-contractual measures, we process your data on the basis of Art. 6 para.1 lit.b GDPR. Furthermore, if your data is required for the fulfillment of a legal obligation, we process it on the basis of Art. 6 para.1 lit.c GDPR. Furthermore, the data processing may be carried out on the basis of our legitimate interest according to Art. 6 para.1 lit.f GDPR.

Information on data transfer to the USA and other non-EU countries
Among other things, we use tools of companies domiciled in the United States or other from a data protection perspective non-secure non-EU countries. If these tools are active, your personal data may potentially be transferred to these non-EU countries and may be processed there. We must point out that in these countries, a data protection level that is comparable to that in the EU cannot be guaranteed. For instance, U.S. enterprises are under a mandate to release personal data to the security agencies and you as the data subject do not have any litigation options to defend yourself in court. Hence, it cannot be ruled out that U.S. agencies (e.g., the Secret Service) may process, analyze, and permanently archive your personal data for surveillance purposes. We have no control over these processing activities.
3. SSL and/or TLS encryption
For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as purchase orders or inquiries you submit to us as the website operator, this website uses either an SSL or a TLS encryption program. You can recognize an encrypted connection by checking whether the address line of the browser switches from “http://” to “https://” and also by the appearance of the lock icon in the browser line. If the SSL or TLS encryption is activated, data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

6. Presences on social media platforms
We operate publicly accessible profiles on social networks. The individual social networks used by us can be found below. No social media elements are embedded on this website. We only link to our social media presences.
If our website contains icons from social media providers such as LinkedIn and YouTube we use these to passively link to the pages of the respective providers. If you click on these links, you will leave our website. The data processing on the websites of the social media providers is governed by the data protection provisions available there.
​
Data processing by social networks
Social networks such as LinkedIn, YouTuve etc. can generally analyse your user behaviour extensively. By visiting our social media presences, the following data protection-relevant processing operations are triggered:
​
-
If you are logged into your social media account and visit our profile, the operator of this social medium can track this visit.
-
Independently of this, the operator may also process your data (e.g. IP address) under certain circumstances if you are not logged into your account or you do not have an account at all. The operator summarises this data in user profiles in which your preferences and interests are stored. These profiles are used for the placement of personalised advertising within and outside the respective social media presence. If you have an account with the respective social network, the personalised advertising may be displayed on all devices on which you are or were logged in. Depending on the platform, further processing operations may be carried out by the operators of the social media portals; we have no influence on this. For details, please refer to the terms of use and data protection provisions of the respective social media portals.
Legal basis
Our social media presences are intended to ensure as comprehensive a presence as possible on the Internet within the meaning of Art. 6 para.1 lit. f GDPR. The analysis processes carried out by the operators of the social networks may be based on different legal bases, which are to be specified by the respective providers.
Responsible party and assertion of rights
If you visit one of our social media sites (e.g. LinkedIn), we are jointly responsible with the operator of the social media platform for the data processing operations triggered during this visit. In principle, you can assert your rights (information, correction, deletion, restriction of processing, data portability and complaint) both against us and against the operator of the respective social media portal (e.g. LinkedIn). Despite the joint responsibility with the social media portal operators, we have no full influence on the data processing operations of the portals. Our options are largely determined by the corporate policy of the respective provider.
Storage period
The data collected directly by us via the social media presence will be deleted from our systems as soon as you request us to delete it, revoke your consent to store it or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies. Mandatory legal provisions - in particular retention periods - remain unaffected. We have no influence on the storage period of the data collected by the social networks. For details, please contact the operators of the social networks directly (e.g. in their privacy policy, see below).
​
We use the following social networks:
LinkedIn, YouTube.
​
For the corresponding data protection information, please refer to the page operated by us there as well as the further information on data protection at the corresponding place of the respective provider.
7. Analysis tools and advertising
a) Google Analytics
​
This website uses web analysis service Google Analytics. Through Google Analytics, we are able to collect and analyze data on the use of our website-by-website visitors. This enables us to find out, for instance, when which page views occurred and from which region they came. In addition, we collect various log files (e.g. IP address, referrer, browser, and operating system used) and can measure whether our website visitors perform certain actions (e.g. clicks, contact etc.).
The use of this analysis tool is based on Art. 6 para.1 lit.f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the analysis of user patterns, in order to optimize the operator’s web offerings and advertising. If appropriate consent has been obtained, the processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 para.1 lit.a GDPR and § 25 (1) TTDSG, insofar the consent includes the storage of cookies or the access to information in the user’s end device (e.g., device fingerprinting) within the meaning of the TTDSG.

8. Online-based Audio and Video Conferences (Conference tools)
Data processing
We use online conference tools, among other things, for communication with our customers. The tools we use are listed in detail below. If you communicate with us by video or audio conference using the Internet, your personal data will be collected and processed by the provider of the respective conference tool and by us.

Furthermore, the conference tools process the duration of the conference, start and end (time) of participation in the conference, number of participants and other “context information” related to the communication process (metadata).
Furthermore, the provider of the tool processes all the technical data required for the processing of the online communication. This includes, in particular, IP addresses, MAC addresses, device IDs, device type, operating system type and version, client version, camera type, microphone or loudspeaker and the type of connection.
​
Should content be exchanged, uploaded, or otherwise made available within the tool, it is also stored on the servers of the tool provider. Such content includes, but is not limited to, cloud recordings, chat/ instant messages, voicemail uploaded photos and videos, files, whiteboards, and other information shared while using the service.
Please note that we do not have complete influence on the data processing procedures of the tools used. Our possibilities are largely determined by the corporate policy of the respective provider. Further information on data processing by the conference tools can be found in the data protection declarations of the tools used, and which we have listed below this text.
​
Purpose and legal bases
The conference tools are used to communicate with prospective or existing contractual partners or to offer certain services to our customers (Art. 6 para.1 lit.b GDPR). Furthermore, the use of the tools serves to generally simplify and accelerate communication with us or our company (legitimate interest in the meaning of Art. 6 para.1 lit.f GDPR).
