III. General Information about Data-Handling

1. Scope of personal data procession

We collect and use personal data of users solely for needs of providing a functioning website and its contents and performances. The collection and use of personal data happens routinely only with consent of the user. An exception of collection is cases in which consent cannot be obtained for factual reasons but legal provisions allow collection.

2. Legal basis for personal data processing

If we obtain consent for collecting personal data for processing operations, this happens in accordance with Art. 13 (1) lit.) GDPR. For the processing of personal data for performances of compliances, Art. 13 (1) lit.) GDPR is legally binding. This also applies for processing operations of pre-contractually collected personal data. If processing personal data for fulfilling legal obligations our foundation is liable to, this happens in accordance with Art. 13 (1) lit. c) GDPR.

In case that pivotal interests of the person concerned, or another natural person necessitates the processing of personal data, Art. 6 (1) lit. d) GDPR is legally binding. If processing leads to safeguard the legitimate interests of our foundation or a third-party and fundamental rights and freedoms of the concerned person do not outweigh this, Art. 6 (1) lit f) GDPR is legally binding for the procession.

3. Data erasure and Storage Period

Generally we delete or anonymize your personal data as soon as they are no longer needed for the purposes for which we collected or used them on the basis of the statements above. Specific statements above regarding the retention or deletion of personal data remain unaffected.

Except where this Privacy Statement contains any other deviating provisions regarding the storage of data, the data collected by us will be stored as long as necessary for the purposes stated above which they were collected for.

III. Processing under joint responsibility

For some processing operations we are not solely responsible, but jointly responsible with one or more other controllers. Joint responsibility occurs when two or more controllers determine the purposes and means for processing personal data. We have grouped joint responsibility by purpose and contractor below.

Joint responsibility means that there are common purposes for the processing and data subjects can enforce their rights under Art. 12-22 GDPR including Art. 77 GDPR with both controllers.

Joint responsibility, Joint Controller Facebook, Instagram.

For the processing of personal data with Page Insights on Facebook and Instagram, we jointly determine the purposes and means with

Every view of our website leads to automated collection of data and information of the viewing computer system.
The following data is thereby collected:

The user’s operating system
The user‘s internet-service-provider
The user’s IP-adress
Date and time of access
Websites that led the user to our website
Websites that are accessed through our website by the user

The logfiles contain IP-adresses or other data, which identifies the user. This may be the case when the link that led to our website or the link that leads to the next website contains personal data.

These data is also collected in the logfiles saved by our system. These data is not jointly saved with personal data.
2. Legal basis for personal data processing
Legal basis for the temporary collection of this data and the logfiles is Art. 6 (1) lit. f) GDPR.

3. Purpose of Data Collection

We temporarily collect and store the IP address assigned to your computer in order to transmit to your computer the contents of our website retrieved by you (e.g. texts, pictures, articles as well as files made available for downloading, etc.). For the purpose of communicating with our website, your full IP address is processed and stored only for the duration of your visit to our website and is subsequently deleted automatically. The logfile is saved in order to provide a working delivery of our website. In this context no data analysis for marketing reasons takes place. The legal basis for this is Art. 6 (1) lit. b) GDPR.

Our entitled interest in data processing lies in these aims following Art. 6 (1) lit. f) .

4. Duration of Storage

Data is deleted as soon as the purpose for its processing is no longer given. In case of collection of data for accessing the website, data is deleted when the website is closed.

5. Objections and Disposal Possibility

The collection of this data and the storage of this data in a logfile is necessary to provide our website and therefore no right of objection is given.

The data generated by this cookie about your use of this website (including your IP address, date, time, duration of visit, browser, operating system, visited pages) are transmitted to a server in Germany and stored there.

Subsequently, you will receive an e-mail in which you must confirm your subscription to the newsletter (double opt-in). If you do not confirm the registration within 7 days, it will expire and the data will not be processed for the newsletter mailing.

Purpose and legal basis: We process your data for the purpose of sending the newsletter on the basis of your consent pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) DSGVO. By unsubscribing from the newsletter, you can declare your revocation at any time with effect for the future pursuant to Art. 7 (3) DSGVO.

We use the Google Maps API, an interactive map and navigation service provided by Google LLC (“Google”). Google Maps is operated by Google LLC., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.

Use of Google Maps allows information regarding your use of this website (including your IP address) to be transmitted to, and stored in, a Google server in the USA. Google may provide the information gained from Maps to third parties, in so far as this is permitted by law or where those third parties process said data as agents of Google.

You may deactivate the Google Maps service, thus preventing the transmission of data to Google, by deactivating JavaScript in your browser. Please note, however, that this will prevent your use of the maps on our website.

The Google privacy policy and additional terms of use for Google Maps are available at https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en&gl=en.

Clicking on “Play video” embeds an iframe with the provider’s content into the page. No service content is integrated, nor are any data transferred before the User clicks.

When you activate the content, the operator of the social media platform receives information that the relevant page has been accessed, for which personal data are transmitted to the platform operator.

Further information on the processing of data and the YouTube (Google) privacy statement are available at https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en&gl=en.

Use of XING

Our website uses functions of the XING network. The provider is XING AG, Dammtorstraße 29-32, 20354 Hamburg, Germany.

This may include, for example, content such as images, videos or text and buttons with which users can share content from this online service within LinkedIn.

Use and application of Instagram (2-click)

Type and scope of processing: Content from Instagram is integrated on our website. Instagram is a service of Meta Platforms, Inc. and is provided by the latter.

When you call up a web page in which a photo and video from Instagram is embedded, data is transmitted to a server of Meta Platforms and stored there. This does not happen automatically, but exclusively through active clicking by the user. Only through this conscious activation, data about the behavior when using Instagram is transmitted to Meta Platforms and processed by Meta Platforms. If you have a user account with Meta Platforms and are registered, Meta Platforms can thereby assign the visit to your user account. Meta Platforms stores this data as usage profiles and uses it for its own purposes.

Such an evaluation is carried out in particular (also for users who are not logged in) for the purpose of displaying tailored advertising. You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles. Please contact Meta Platforms directly in this regard.

Purpose and legal basis: By integrating Instagram, we pursue the purpose of being able to present various photos and videos to you on our website so that you can view them directly on our website. The processing of the data is based on Art. 6 (1) a) DSGVO. This serves as the legal basis for our company for processing operations in which we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose.

The provision of the personal data is neither legally nor contractually required and is also not necessary for the conclusion of a contract. You are also not obliged to provide the personal data. However, by not providing it, you might not be able to use our website or not be able to use it to its full extent.

Possibility of elimination: If you want to prevent data disclosure, you cannot use the functions of Instagram.

Regardless of this, we recommend that you regularly log out of your social network's user account after using it, especially before activating embedded content, as this will help you to avoid an assignment to your profile with the respective provider.

VI. Newsletter

With your consent according to Art. 6 (1) a) GDPR you can subscribe to our newsletter, with which we inform you about our current offers. For the registration for our newsletter we use the so-called double opt-in procedure. This means that after your registration we will send you an e-mail to the specified e-mail address in which we ask you to confirm that you would like the newsletter to be sent to you. If you do not confirm your registration within 24 hours, your information will be blocked and automatically deleted after one month.
In addition, we store your IP addresses and the time of registration and confirmation. The purpose of the procedure is to be able to prove your registration and, if necessary, to clarify a possible misuse of your personal data.

The only mandatory information for sending the newsletter is your e-mail address. After your confirmation we will save your e-mail address for the purpose of sending you the newsletter. The legal basis is Art. 6 (1) a) GDPR. We will retain your e-mail address until you unsubscribe from the newsletter.

You can revoke your consent to receive the newsletter at any time and unsubscribe from the newsletter.
