2 Processing of personal data on this website
We only process your personal data if this is permitted by law. This is either because we are legally permitted to do so or because you have given us your consent to process your data.
We obtain your data in two ways:
Either you have provided us with the data, or we collect it when you use our services or website.
Data we receive through your use of our website
In principle, you can use our website without having to provide us with any personal data directly.
When you visit our website, your browser automatically transmits certain data to our server that is necessary for the use of this website. This data is temporarily stored in a so-called log file. The following information is recorded without any action on your part and stored until it is automatically deleted:
- The IP address of the requesting computer
- Date and time of access
- Name and URL of the file accessed
- Website from which access is made (referrer URL)
- Browser used and, where applicable, your computer’s operating system, as well as the name of your internet service provider
We process the aforementioned data for the following purposes:
- To ensure the website connects smoothly,
- To ensure a user-friendly experience on our website,
- To evaluate system security and stability, and
- For other administrative purposes.
The legal basis for data processing is, in particular, Article 6(1)(c), as we, as a service provider, are obliged to operate the service securely in accordance with legal requirements.
Data you provide to us
However, in order to use certain services associated with our website, such as data processing via our contact form – which you can use to get in touch – you may need to provide certain details, such as your name, email address and postal address.
For all our services where such details are required, we have always ensured that we only collect the data necessary for the respective data processing (principles of data minimisation and purpose limitation).
Detailed information on all services offered on this website can be found in the following sections.
Contact forms
We offer comprehensive personalised support. If you wish to contact us via one of our contact forms, you must provide your name and email address. This is particularly important so that we can respond to your enquiry quickly and personally.
If you would prefer to be contacted by telephone, please also provide your telephone number.
By contacting us via the form, you are giving us your voluntary consent, which may be withdrawn at any time, to process the data you have provided for the purpose of contacting you and dealing with your enquiry. The legal basis for this is Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR. We will use the data you have provided to us exclusively for these purposes and will not, for example, use it for sales calls or other advertising purposes.
If you contact us for the purposes of contractual performance, etc., the legal basis for processing is Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR.
We will delete the data you have provided to us once it is no longer required for the aforementioned purposes.
We are happy to provide you with information regarding the data we hold about you. For further details, please refer to the sections ‘Right of access’ and ‘Contact information’ in this privacy policy.
Basic information on the use of cookies – Use of the CCM19 cookie banner
Cookies are small files containing a string of characters in which certain information is stored, either in plain text or in encrypted form. Cookies are sent from the server to your computer and stored there. Their primary purpose is to identify the computer from which a website has been accessed. If you log in to a website, cookies are used to notify the server of the login and to verify authorisation to access a page. Some cookies have an ‘expiry date’, i.e. a date on which they are no longer valid.
Even when using cookies, we wish to show you our respect, which is why you should always have the option, via the cookie banner solution we use, to configure in fine detail whether, and if so, which cookies and analytics methods you consent to.
Our website uses the “CCM19” cookie consent technology to obtain your consent for cookies requiring consent and for cookie-based or externally hosted applications, and to document this in accordance with data protection regulations. The provider of this technology is Papoo Software & Media GmbH, Auguststr. 4, 53229 Bonn (hereinafter referred to as: CCM19).
When you visit our website, a banner is displayed via the integration of a corresponding JavaScript code, allowing you to grant granular consent for specific cookies and cookie-based or external applications. Until you give your consent, CCM19 will block, in particular, the setting of cookies requiring consent and the access to the external services listed below. Only once you have given your consent will the connections be established to the extent you have specified. Consequently, the explanations regarding these external service providers described below will only apply from that point onwards. The legal basis for this processing is then determined in accordance with Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR, i.e. on the basis of your voluntary consent, which may be withdrawn at any time.
When you visit our website, CCM19 processes certain user information, including your IP address, so that page views can be attributed to individual users and, secondly, so that the consent settings selected by the user can be individually recorded, logged and stored for the duration of the session. This data is not passed on to CCM19 but remains on our server.
The data collected is stored until you request its deletion, delete the CCM19 cookie yourself, or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies. Mandatory statutory retention periods remain unaffected.
CCM19’s cookie consent technology is used to obtain the legally required consent for the use of cookies and cookie-based applications that require consent. The legal basis for this is Article 6(1)(c) of the GDPR.
Further information on data usage by CCM19 is available at https://www.ccm19.de/en/datenschutzerklaerung.html.
3 Use of third-party providers (subject to consent in CCM19)
As outlined above, we use third-party providers on our website. Their services generally help us to optimise our website and our offering, enabling us to tailor our service even better to your needs.
As outlined above, the cookie banner we use ensures that cookies and connections to the following providers are only established once you have given your consent. The legal basis for this is therefore, in principle, Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR, namely the authorisation of processing through your consent, which may be withdrawn at any time.
Google Analytics
We use Google Tag Manager in conjunction with Google Analytics on our website. However, this service is not enabled by default via our cookie banner.
Provided you have consented to the use of this service, Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow St, Dublin 4, Ireland, a subsidiary of Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (Google LLC), is used on this website.
The data processing serves the purpose of analysing this website and its visitors, as well as for marketing and advertising purposes. Google will use the information obtained on our behalf as the website operator to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity, and to provide us, as the website operator, with further services related to website and internet usage. In doing so, the following data may be collected, amongst other things: the IP address, the date and time of the page view, the click path, information about the browser you are using, the device you are using, the pages visited, the referrer URL (this is the website via which you accessed our website) and location data. According to the information provided, the IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics is not merged with other data held by Google.
Google Analytics also enables the creation of reports containing information on the age, gender and interests of website users via the ‘Demographics and Interests’ feature, based on an analysis of interest-based advertising and using third-party data. This allows the website’s user groups to be defined and segmented for the purpose of tailoring marketing activities to specific target audiences. However, data records collected via “demographic characteristics” cannot be attributed to any specific individual.
Google Analytics uses cookies for this purpose. These are stored on your device and enable an analysis of your use of this website. The information generated in this way regarding your use of this website (including the truncated IP address) is usually transmitted to a Google server and stored there; this may also involve transmission to the servers of Google LLC in the USA.
This website uses Google Analytics exclusively with the “_anonymizeIp()” extension, which ensures that IP addresses are anonymised by truncation and prevents direct personal identification. This extension causes Google to truncate your IP address beforehand within Member States of the European Union or in other signatory states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area (EEA). Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transmitted to a Google LLC server in the USA and truncated there.
All processing described above, in particular the setting of Google Analytics cookies for the collection of information on the device used, takes place only if you have given us your express consent as described above, in accordance with Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR. Without this consent, Google Analytics will not be used during your visit to the site.
You may withdraw your consent at any time with future effect, without this affecting the lawfulness of the processing carried out on the basis of your consent prior to withdrawal. To withdraw your consent, please deactivate this service using the “Cookie Consent Tool” provided on the website. We have entered into a data processing agreement with Google for the use of Google Analytics, which obliges Google to protect the data of our website visitors and not to pass it on to third parties.
For the transfer of data from the EU to the USA, Google relies on the European Commission’s Standard Data Protection Clauses, which are intended to ensure compliance with European data protection standards in the USA. Further information on Google Analytics can be found at https://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/ (overview page) or https://marketingplatform.google.com/about/analytics/terms/gb/ (Terms of Service for Google Analytics) and policies.google.com/technologies/cookies (information on the use of cookies).
Google Ads and Google Conversion Tracking
As part of our online marketing strategy, we use Google Ads (formerly Google AdWords) to promote our products. As part of our advertising activities via Google Ads, we use conversion tracking provided by Google Inc. on our website. In Europe, however, Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland) is responsible for all Google services. This tracking tool enables us to better tailor our advertising to your interests and needs.
By default, however, these services are disabled via our cookie banner and are only activated once you have given your consent. The legal basis for data processing is then determined in accordance with Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR.
Google Ads (formerly Google AdWords) is the in-house online advertising system of Google Inc. Using Google’s conversion tracking tool, we track what happens after a user clicks on our Google Ads advertisement. For example, this allows us to see whether certain offers are being taken up.
We use Google Ads to draw attention to our services on other websites as well. The aim is to ensure that our advertising campaigns truly reach only those people who are interested in our services.
Using the conversion tracking tool, we can see which keywords, adverts, ad groups and campaigns lead to the desired customer actions. We can see how many website users/customers interact with our adverts on a device and then complete a conversion. This data allows us to measure the success of individual advertising measures and consequently optimise our online marketing activities. We can therefore use the data obtained to make our website more interesting for you and tailor our advertising offering even more closely to your needs.
When you click on one of our Google Ads, a ‘Conversion’ cookie from a Google domain is stored on your computer (usually in your browser) or mobile device.
As soon as you complete an action on our website, Google recognises the cookie and records your action as a ‘conversion’.
As long as you are browsing our website and the cookie has not yet expired, we and Google recognise that you found us via our Google Ads advertisement. The cookie is read and sent back to Google Ads along with the conversion data. It is also possible that other cookies are used to measure conversions.
Google Ads conversion tracking can be further refined and improved using Google Analytics.
Unlike cookies set for Google domains, Google can only read these conversion cookies whilst you are on our website. We do not collect or receive any personal data. We receive a report from Google containing statistical analyses. This tells us, for example, the total number of users who clicked on our advert and which advertising measures were well received.
We would like to point out at this stage that we have no control over how Google actually uses the data it collects. According to Google, the data is encrypted and stored on secure servers. In most cases, conversion cookies expire after 30 days and do not transmit any personal data. The cookies named “Conversion” and “_gac” (which is used in conjunction with Google Analytics) have an expiry date of 3 months.
You have the option to opt out of Google Ads conversion tracking. If you disable the Google conversion tracking cookie via your browser, you will block conversion tracking.
Google processes your data in the USA, amongst other places. Google is an active participant in the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, which regulates the correct and secure transfer of personal data belonging to EU citizens to the USA. You can find more information on this at https://commission.europa.eu/document/fa09cbad-dd7d-4684-ae60-be03fcb0fddf_en.
In addition, Google uses what are known as standard contractual clauses (Article 46(2) and (3) of the GDPR). Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) are model clauses provided by the European Commission and are intended to ensure that your data complies with European data protection standards even when it is transferred to and stored in third countries (such as the USA). Through the EU-US Data Privacy Framework and the Standard Contractual Clauses, Google undertakes to comply with European data protection standards when processing your relevant data, even if the data is stored, processed and managed in the USA. These clauses are based on an implementing decision by the European Commission. You can find the decision and the relevant standard contractual clauses here: https://eur-lex.europa.eu/eli/dec_impl/2021/914/oj?locale=en.
The Google Ads Data Processing Terms, which refer to the Standard Contractual Clauses, can be found at https://business.safety.google/intl/en/adsprocessorterms/.
Microsoft Clarity
We also use the web analytics software Microsoft Clarity on our website. The service provider is the US company Microsoft Corporation, One Microsoft Way, Redmond, WA 98052-6399, USA. However, this service is not enabled by default via our cookie banner. It is only activated once you have given your consent. The legal basis is then Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR.
Should you consent to the use of this service, please note the following:
We use this service to statistically analyse visitor data. Microsoft Clarity is a service that analyses your behaviour and feedback as a user on our website through a combination of analytics and feedback tools. We receive reports and visual representations from Microsoft Clarity that show us where and how you ‘navigate’ on our site. In this respect, the functioning of this service can be imagined as the creation of a kind of ‘map’ (known as a ‘heatmap’) based on your movements.
According to Microsoft, personal data is automatically anonymised and never reaches the Microsoft Clarity servers. This means that you, as a website user, are not personally identified, yet we still learn a great deal about your user behaviour so that we can continually tailor our service to your needs.
Microsoft processes your data in the US, amongst other places. Clarity and Microsoft are active participants in the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, which governs the proper and secure transfer of personal data belonging to EU citizens to the US. You can find more information on this at https://commission.europa.eu/document/fa09cbad-dd7d-4684-ae60-be03fcb0fddf_en.
In addition, Microsoft uses what are known as standard contractual clauses (Article 46(2) and (3) of the GDPR). Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) are model clauses provided by the European Commission and are intended to ensure that your data complies with European data protection standards even when it is transferred to and stored in third countries (such as the USA). Through the EU-US Data Privacy Framework and the Standard Contractual Clauses, Microsoft undertakes to comply with European data protection standards when processing your relevant data, even if the data is stored, processed and managed in the USA. These clauses are based on an Implementing Decision of the European Commission. You can find the Decision and the relevant Standard Contractual Clauses here, amongst other places: https://eur-lex.europa.eu/eli/dec_impl/2021/914/oj?locale=en.
Information on the processing of supplier and customer data
As a supplier or customer, you have the opportunity to interact with us via our website.
We process the following categories of data: master data (e.g. name, address, etc.), contact details (e.g. telephone number, email address), contract details (e.g. start and end dates of the contract), accounts receivable data (e.g. instalment claims, credit checks) , payment information where applicable (e.g. bank details, outstanding receivables, reminders) and delivery data where applicable.
Data processing is carried out for the purpose of concluding and fulfilling the contract. The processing of your data is necessary under Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR for the conclusion and performance of the contract with you. Furthermore, data processing is necessary under Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR to safeguard our legitimate interests. Our legitimate interests relate to the fulfilment of the mutual obligations arising from the contract between us and you.
Within our company, access is granted to those departments that require it to fulfil our obligations. Due to the shared use of data processing systems, your data is processed within our group of companies. Where necessary, selected distributors may be granted access to the data for the purpose of fulfilling the contract. Where necessary for the purpose of credit checks, we will transfer your data to credit reference agencies.
Once our contractual relationship has ended, we will, as a standard procedure, review after a period of five years whether we still require your data and/or whether, for example, statutory retention obligations—such as those under the German Fiscal Code—prevent us from doing so. If there is no longer any retention obligation, we will delete your data in accordance with the principles set out in point 5.
Use of DeepL
On our website, we use the DeepL translation service to translate content into various languages and provide a better user experience. DeepL is an AI-powered translation application that delivers high-quality translations and has been integrated into our website as a ‘backend’ service.
When using DeepL, personal data, such as IP addresses and translated website texts, may be transmitted to DeepL’s servers. This data is processed by DeepL in accordance with its own privacy policy. Further information on data processing by DeepL can be found in DeepL’s privacy policy: https://www.deepl.com/en/privacy.
By using our website and the translation function, you consent to the transfer and processing of your data by DeepL. The legal basis for this is Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR. If you do not wish to consent to this, you can disable the translation function or visit our website without using the translation function.
Your data is transferred to external parties for the purpose of translating the website content. For this purpose, we use the translation service provider DeepL SE, specifically the DeepL API Pro software. We have entered into a data processing agreement with DeepL SE to ensure that your data is protected there as well. The data transmitted is deleted by DeepL SE immediately after translation and is not used for training the software.
We will not pass on your data to any other third parties. Where we engage other service providers within the framework of data processing, your data is subject to the same security standards there as it is with us. In all other cases, recipients may only use the data for the purposes for which it was transmitted to them.
4. Our social media presence
We also offer comprehensive personal support via our social media pages, as well as the opportunity to get in touch with us and stay in contact.
In principle, these social media services collect personal data themselves, for example via the profile you have created there or via so-called social plug-ins that are embedded in third-party websites.
We have no influence over this data processing. Furthermore, on some of these platforms, we often have no option to publish our own privacy policies. In such cases, however, we have provided a link to this privacy policy so that you can find out more about the background to this.
Accessing these networks and communicating with us via them is entirely at your discretion – we cannot accept any responsibility for the processing carried out there, as we have no actual influence over the processing of your data. The processing is therefore generally carried out on the basis of your consent or the ‘contract’ you enter into with the companies in accordance with Article 6(1)(a) or Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR.
We maintain our own social media accounts. In this context, we have access to certain data, such as statistical analyses or enquiries sent to us via these platforms. We also use these platforms to communicate with users.
The legal basis for this data processing is, in principle, our overriding legitimate interest pursuant to Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. Where the communication serves to initiate or perform a contract, processing is carried out on the basis of Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR.
No direct connections are established from our website, which is why we do not pass on your data to these networks.
If you send us an enquiry via one of these platforms, we will forward the enquiry to the relevant department. The data will be used exclusively to respond to your enquiry and will not be passed on to companies outside our group. However, in order to contact us via these social media platforms, you must first register with these services.
Facebook Fan Page and Facebook Insights
We operate a Facebook Fan Page. Through its ‘Insights’ feature, Facebook provides us with aggregated data on user activity on the page, which is based, amongst other things, on personal data. This occurs via cookies, even if you are not a Facebook member. We have no influence over this processing and cannot identify specific users from it. Key information regarding this processing by Facebook can be found here: https://www.facebook.com/legal/terms/page_controller_addendum
Accordingly, primary responsibility under the GDPR lies with Facebook. Facebook states that it fulfils all obligations under the GDPR with regard to the processing of Insights data. You may therefore, in particular, exercise the rights granted to you under the GDPR against Facebook Ireland (Facebook Ireland Ltd, 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, D2 Dublin, Ireland). We will forward any such enquiries addressed to us to Facebook Ireland via the following link: https://www.facebook.com/help/contact/308592359910928
Furthermore, we use the statistical data provided to us by Facebook to tailor the design of our fan page to our users. The legal basis for this processing is Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR.
We operate our own company profile on Instagram. The primary data controller is Instagram LLC, 1601 Willow Rd, Menlo Park CA 94025, USA. Please note that you use the Instagram service and its features at your own risk. This applies in particular to the use of interactive features (e.g. sharing, commenting, liking). Information on what data is processed by Instagram and for what purposes it is used can be found in Instagram’s privacy policy:
https://help.instagram.com/519522125107875?helpref=page_content
When you visit our Instagram profile and your browser permits the storage of cookies, or you have consented to the corresponding use of cookies by Instagram, Instagram stores small text files in your browser’s memory (hereinafter “cookies”) and can access this information when you visit the platform or a website that incorporates the relevant technologies. Further information on the purpose of the cookies used, the integration of these cookies by other websites and your options for controlling them can be found in the information on Instagram cookies.
We would like to point out that, through the use of cookies, Instagram is able to track your user behaviour (across devices for logged-in users) beyond the Instagram platform on other websites. This applies to both users registered on the Instagram platform and those who are not registered there.
We would also like to point out that we have no influence over the data processing carried out by Instagram in connection with cookies. You can still visit our Instagram page even if you configure your browser so that no cookies are stored by the platform. Information on how to adjust your browser’s cookie settings can usually be found in the help section of the browser you are using.
Our Instagram profile allows you to react to our posts, comment on them and send us private messages. Please check carefully what personal data you are sharing with us via our Instagram profiles. If you wish to prevent Instagram from processing the personal data you send to us, please contact us by other means.
We process your data when you contact us or interact with our site or its content on the basis of Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in responding to your enquiry. If your contact is aimed at concluding a contract, the additional legal basis for processing is Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR.
We process the data you provide in this context and to which we may have access in order to safeguard our legitimate interests, which prevail following a balancing of interests, in contacting and communicating with our prospective customers. This also constitutes our legitimate interest in data processing pursuant to Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR.
Your data will, as far as is possible for us, be deleted when we cease operating our Instagram profiles. Should Instagram store this data further, such storage is governed exclusively by the provisions of the Instagram Privacy Policy and the Instagram Terms of Service.
We have set up our Instagram profile as a business profile and use the anonymised page statistics provided by Instagram (‘Instagram Insights’), which give us insights into visitors to our Instagram profile and their interactions with our profile and its content. We have no say in the decision regarding the means and purposes of processing event data used to generate page statistics. The statistics contain the following information:
- Reach, page views, time spent viewing video posts
- Interactions such as ‘liking’ a post, commenting on or sharing posts
- Demographic data on age, gender and location
We use this data to identify trends. It is not possible for us to trace this data back to the individuals who triggered these events.
We maintain a company page on LinkedIn. LinkedIn is a service provided by LinkedIn Corporation, based at 1000 W Maude, Sunnyvale, CA 94085, USA, and is operated by LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company, Wilton Place, Dublin 2, Ireland.
When you visit our company page on LinkedIn, LinkedIn is generally responsible for the primary processing of your data. To the extent that we are involved in the processing, we become a joint controller. However, in this respect, we have only very limited influence over the processing on this portal.
We maintain the company page to keep you informed, to introduce ourselves and our services and products, and to be able to communicate with you. If you follow or interact with our company page, this makes you recognisable and identifiable to us and others.
As the operator of the company page, we use the company page analytics provided to us by LinkedIn. These help us to better understand your interests and to reach our target audiences more effectively. This enables us to display targeted, interest-based advertising and provide relevant content.
As we receive aggregated data from LinkedIn via this channel (e.g. analytics data on visitors, updates, followers, etc.), we cannot attribute this data to any specific visitor to our page.
LinkedIn also uses the data it collects for market research and advertising purposes, in particular to analyse your behaviour, create user profiles and provide personalised advertising (including on behalf of third parties). We have no influence over this arrangement.
To enable LinkedIn to provide us with aggregated data, amongst other things, LinkedIn stores cookies on the devices you use to access the company page. These cookies are small data files containing a unique user code. Both persistent and session cookies are used. To the best of our knowledge, LinkedIn uses the data collected via these cookies to display advertisements to you and to enable LinkedIn’s advertising partners to do the same.
The processing of your personal data, with the exception of tracking, is based on our legitimate interests pursuant to Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR in effective communication and interaction with you as a user, as well as in the optimised presentation of our service offerings.
Please note that consent in accordance with Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR is required for tracking. However, consent is not sought on the platform. To avoid tracking, we can only advise you to contact us via an alternative communication channel, such as our website, and to restrict the cookie settings there to only the necessary cookies.
For a detailed description of the specific forms of processing and the options for objecting (opt-out), please refer to the privacy policy and information provided by the social media network operator, over which we have no control and which apply when you visit the site. (See above for the link to LinkedIn’s privacy policy.)
We ourselves do not pass on any personal data to third parties in connection with the use of the LinkedIn platform and process your data exclusively within the European Union.
We would like to point out that when LinkedIn processes your personal data, the data may be processed outside the European Union. This may entail risks for users, as it could, for example, make it more difficult to enforce users’ rights.
However, LinkedIn states in its privacy policy that, by using LinkedIn services, your personal data may also be processed by the operator of the LinkedIn platform in the United States of America, a so-called non-safe third country. LinkedIn Corporation has obtained certification under the current EU-US Data Privacy Framework.
Data collected directly by us via the social media profile will be deleted from our systems as soon as the purpose for which it was stored no longer applies, you request its deletion, or you withdraw your consent to its storage. Stored cookies remain on your device until you delete them. Mandatory legal provisions – in particular retention periods – remain unaffected.
We have no influence over the retention period of your data stored by the operators of social networks for their own purposes.
YouTube
We operate our own YouTube channel. YouTube is a product of Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland.
Please note that you use the YouTube channel offered here and its features at your own risk. This applies in particular to the use of the ‘Discussion’ feature. Information on what data is processed by Google and for what purposes can be found in Google’s privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en&gl=en#infocollect
We have no influence over the nature and scope of the data processed by Google, the manner in which it is processed and used, or the disclosure of this data to third parties. Nor do we have any effective means of control.
When you use Google, your personal data is collected, transmitted, stored, disclosed, and used by Google; it is transferred to the United States, Ireland, and any other country where Google conducts business, regardless of your place of residence, and is stored and used there.
Your data is transferred to companies affiliated with Google, as well as to other trusted companies or individuals who process it on Google’s behalf.
In doing so, Google processes, on the one hand, the data you voluntarily provide, such as your name, username, email address, and phone number. Google also processes the content you create, upload, or receive from others while using the services. This includes, for example, photos and videos you save, documents and spreadsheets you create, and comments you post on YouTube videos.
On the other hand, Google also analyzes the content you share to determine which topics interest you, stores and processes private messages you send directly to other users, and can determine your location using GPS data, information about wireless networks, or your IP address in order to provide you with advertisements or other content.
As already described above for the other portals, we process your data when you communicate with us via YouTube.
Processing is generally based on our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR or, if it is carried out for the purpose of fulfilling contractual obligations, pursuant to Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR.
The initial recipient of the data is Google, where it may be shared with third parties for Google’s own purposes and under Google’s responsibility. The recipients of the published content are also the general public, meaning potentially anyone.
When embedding YouTube videos on our website, the settings we use generally do not transmit the IP addresses of site visitors to Google. You can only view the YouTube videos once you have given us your consent via our “cookie banner.”
5. General Information on the Retention Period and Deletion of Your Data
We adhere to the data protection principles of purpose limitation and storage limitation. We have already provided information on the specific retention periods for the various processes on our website in the respective sections.
As a general rule, we delete your data as soon as the purpose of the relevant data processing has been fulfilled and we have no other reason to retain it.
6. Automated Decision-Making
We do not engage in automated decision-making based on the personal data we collect from you.
7. Your Rights
As described above, respecting you and your privacy is of the utmost importance to us. Therefore, it is important to us that you can exercise the rights listed below at any time.
Right of Access (Art. 15 GDPR)
You have the right to obtain information at any time regarding your personal data stored by us (see Art. 15 GDPR).
Right to Withdraw Your Consent
You have the right to withdraw your consent to the processing of data at any time, with effect for the future. In the event of withdrawal, we will no longer process the relevant data for the purposes for which you gave us your consent. We will also delete or block the data, provided the legal requirements for doing so are met.
