Purpose of Data Use by the responsible Body and third Parties

We process your personal data only for the purposes named in this data privacy policy. A transfer of your personal data to third parties other than for the indicated purposes does not occur.
We only transfer your personal data to third parties if:

  • You have given us your specific consent for doing so,
  • The use is required for realization of a contract concluded with you,
  • The use is required for fulfilment of a legal obligation,
  • The use is required for safeguarding legitimate interests and there is no reason to believe that you have a mostly legitimate interest in non-transfer of your data.

Deletion or Blocking of Data

We adhere to the principles of data avoidance and data minimization. We store your personal data only as long as required for the named purposes or according to the diverse retention periods stipulated by law. After expiry of the given purpose or of these periods, the corresponding data will be blocked or deleted routinely and according to the legal stipulations.

SSL Encryption

To protect the security of your data during transfer, we use encryption methods corresponding to the state-of-the art (e.g. SSL) via HTTPS.

Use of Script Libraries (Google Webfonts)

To display our contents correctly and with an appealing graphic design, independent of the used browser, we use script and font libraries on this website, e.g. Google Webfonts (https://www.google.com/webfonts/). Google Webfonts are transferred in the cache of your browser to avoid multiple loading. If the browser does not support the Google Webfonts or blocks access, the contents will be displayed in a standard font. The selection of script or font libraries automatically triggers a connection to the library operator. In theory, it is possible that the operators of such libraries might collect data, however, it is not clear if so and for which purposes.

The data privacy policy of the library operator Google can be found here: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/

Use of Google Maps

This website uses Google Maps API to display current geographic information. During use of Google Maps, Google collects, processes and uses data with regard to the use of map functions by users. Further information about data processing by Google Maps can be found in the Google-Privacy-Policy. You can change your personal data protection settings in the data protection centre there. Detailed instructions for management of your own data in connection with Google products can be found here.

Embedded YouTube Videos

On some of our websites, Youtube videos are embedded. Operator of these plugins is YouTube, LLC, 901 Cherry Ave., San Bruno, CA 94066, USA. If you visit a page with the YouTube plugin, a connection to the servers of Youtube will be established. Youtube will be informed about which pages you visit. If you are logged into your Youtube account, Youtube can assign your surf behaviour. This can be prevented by logging out of your Youtube account before. If a Youtube video is started, the operator uses cookies which collect information about the user behaviour. If storage of cookies for the GoogleAd program has been deactivated, it is not likely that such cookies will be taken during watching Youtube videos. However, Youtube stores non-personal use information in other cookies. To prevent that, you have to block cookies storage in your browser.

Further information with regard to data protection “Youtube“ can be found in the data privacy policy of the operator under: https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/

Social Plugins

Our websites use Social Plugins of the providers listed below. Those plugins are marked by the corresponding logo. Via these plugins, it might be that personal data are sent by the service providers and used by them. We prevent such unconscious and undesired data collection and transfer to the service provider by a 2 click solution. To activate a desired social plugin, it first has to be activated by clicking on the corresponding button. Only by activation of this plugin, the collection of information and their transfer to the service provider is triggered. We ourselves do not collect any personal data via the social plugins or their use. We have no influence on which data an activated plugin is collecting and how they are used by the provider. Currently it has to be assumed that a direct connection to the services of the providers will b established and that at least the IP address and device-related information will be collected and used. It might also be that service providers try to store cookies on the used computer. Which data is collected and how it is used can be looked up in the data protection notes of the particular service provider.

We have integrated the social media buttons of the following companies on our website:

  • LinkedIn
  • Youtube
