What data is processed?
Legal basis for data processing
In order to be able to offer you our website and the associated services, we process personal data on the basis of the following legal bases:
- Consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR)
- for the performance of contracts (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b) GDPR)

We will refer to the relevant terms in connection with the respective processing so that you can understand the basis on which we process personal data. If personal data is processed on the basis of your consent, you have the right to withdraw your consent from us at any time with effect for the future. If we process data on the basis of a balancing of interests, you as the data subject have the right to object to the processing of personal data, taking into account the provisions of Art. 21 GDPR.
Access data
When you visit our website, personal data is processed in order to display the contents of the website on your device.
The IP address of the device you are using must be processed so that the pages can be displayed in your browser. In addition, further information about the browser of your device is collected.
We are obliged under data protection law to also guarantee the confidentiality and integrity of the personal data processed using our IT systems.
For this purpose and on the basis of this interest, the following data is logged on the basis of a weighing of interests:
- IP address of the accessing computer
- Operating system of the accessing computer
- Browser version of the accessing computer
- Name of the accessed file
- Date and time of access
- Volume of data transferred
- Referrer URL
The IP address is deleted after no more than 30 days from all systems used in connection with the operation of these Internet pages. We can then no longer establish a personal reference from the remaining data.
The data is also used to identify and rectify errors on the website.
Contact form
We provide a contact form on our website that you can use to request information about our products or services or to contact us in general. We have marked the fields that require information in order to answer your inquiry. Information in the other fields is voluntary.
We need this information to process your request, to address you correctly and to send you a reply. The data processing is carried out for specific requests to fulfill a contract or the contract initiation. For general requests, the processing is based on a balance of interests.
We process enquiries submitted via the contact form on our website electronically in order to answer your enquiry. In this context, other persons or departments and, if applicable, third parties may also become aware of the contents of the forms you have sent.
The transmission of the form data via the internet is done so via encrypted connections.
Cookies
We use cookies on our website. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device via your browser. Some cookies are essential to enable certain functions of our website.
We only use cookies that are not essential with your consent. In these cases, you will be shown a corresponding consent form on the website.
You also have the option to prevent the setting of cookies by making the appropriate settings in your browser. However, we would like to point out that in this case the use of our website may only be possible to a limited extent. Cookies are not used to install or start programs or other applications on your computer.
The use of cookies is based on a balance of interests. Our interest is the user-friendly visit to our website.
Web analysis
This website uses the web analysis tool “Google Analytics”, a service offered by Google Ireland Limited, provided you have given your consent. The purpose of this use is the “demand-oriented design” of this website, which is carried out on the basis of a weighing of interests. The web analysis also enables us to identify and correct website errors, e.g. due to broken links. Google Analytics uses so-called “cookies”. These are text files that are stored on your computer and that allow an analysis of the use of the website by you. In doing so, so-called “client IDs” are used to create pseudonymous user profiles that record the use of the website by desktop computers and mobile devices by a user together.
The information generated by the cookie about your use of the website will generally be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States. However, because we have activated so-called IP anonymization on this website and have entered into an appropriate data processing agreement with Google, your IP address will be shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area before this happens. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be sent to a Google server in the US and shortened there. Furthermore, browser information, device information, location information, usage data and user behavior are processed. The data is stored for a maximum of two years.
Google guarantees an adequate level of data protection. Google Ireland Limited has concluded corresponding EU standard contractual clauses for any transfer of personal data to third countries such as the USA. In addition, Google LLC (USA) is certified according to the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework, so that an adequate level of data protection is also guaranteed in this respect.
You can prevent the data generated by cookies about your use of the website (incl. your IP address) from being passed to Google, and the processing of these data by Google, by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at the following link ().
Alternatively, you can prevent Google Analytics from collecting data, especially on mobile devices, by clicking on the following link. This sets an opt-out cookie that prevents the future collection of your data when you visit this website: Disable Google Analytics.

Data protection information for online applications
Your personal data will be collected, processed and used for the purpose of processing your application and, if applicable, as part of an employment relationship. However, they will be stored for a maximum of six months for the purpose of processing your application and will then be deleted, unless they are subsequently processed for the purposes of an employment relationship. The data will continue to be processed and used in anonymized form for statistical purposes only; it is not possible to assign this data to an individual applicant.
The legal basis for the processing of application data is Art. 6 (1) point b GDPR.
Newsletter
You can also subscribe to a newsletter via our website.
The legal basis for the processing of personal data in connection with sending the newsletter is your consent.
With your consent, you also allow us to track the opening and click rates of the newsletter emails.
You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future. In particular, you can revoke your consent by clicking on the “unsubscribe link” in the newsletter. Alternatively, you can contact us at any time.
Technically, the administration of the newsletter data and the sending is carried out by our service provider, CleverReach GmbH & Co. KG. A corresponding data processing agreement has been concluded.
Purposes of processing personal data
We process the aforementioned data for the operation of our website and for the fulfillment of contractual obligations towards our customers or the protection of our legitimate interests.
For inquiries from you outside of an active customer relationship, we process the data for sales and advertising purposes. You can object to the use of your personal data for advertising purposes at any time.
Optional information
If you voluntarily provide us with data, e.g. in forms, and this data is not required for the fulfillment of our contractual obligations, we process this data on the legitimate assumption that the processing and use of this data is in your interest.
Recipient/transmission of data
Data that you provide to us will not be passed on to third parties. In particular, your data will not be passed on to third parties for their advertising purposes.
However, we may use service providers for the operation of these Internet pages or for other products or services from us. In this case, it may happen that a service provider gains knowledge of personal data.
We select our service providers carefully – in particular with regard to data protection and data security – and take all data protection measures necessary for permissible data processing.
Data processing outside the European Union
Insofar as personal data is processed outside the European Union, you can see this from the previous explanations.
