General data processing information

Website Log Files

When you visit our websites, your browser transmits certain data to our web server for technical reasons. The following data are recorded during an ongoing connection for communication between your internet browser and our web server:

  • Date and time of your request

  • Name of the requested file

  • Page from which the file was requested

  • Access status (file transferred, file not found, etc.)

  • Type and version of the browser and the operating system you use

  • Full IP address of the requesting computer

  • Quantity of data transferred

For reasons of technical security, in particular to prevent attacks on our web server, we store these data for a short period of time. It is impossible to discern the identity of individual persons based on this data. The data is anonymized by shortening the IP address at the domain level, so that it is no longer possible to establish any reference to the individual user. The anonymized data will also be processed for statistical purposes. We don’t compare any data to data in other databases or forward them to third parties, even in excerpts.

Affected data:

Personal data is only collected if you communicate it to us yourself. Apart from that, no personal data is collected. Any processing of your personal data that goes beyond the scope of the statutory permission is only possible on the basis of your express consent.

  • Processing purpose: Contract execution.

  • Categories of recipients: Public authorities in the event of priority legislation, external service providers or other contractors, other external bodies in so far as the data subject has given his consent or a transmission is permitted due to a prevailing interest.

  • Third-country transfers: As part of contractual execution, processors could also be used outside the European Union.

  • Duration of data storage: The duration of data storage depends on the statutory storage requirements and is usually 10 years.

Specific information about the website

Website analysis by Matomo

We use Matomo, a web analysis service, to optimally design our website. To evaluate and analyze the use of our website, usage information is transmitted to our servers and stored for analysis. Your IP address will be shortened during this process and thus anonymized. If you want to prevent your data from being processed for data analysis purposes, you can object at any time with a mouse click. In this case, an opt-out cookie that does not contain any usage data is stored in your browser. As a result, Matomo will not collect any data from your current visit to our website.

Please note: If you delete cookies, this will also delete the opt-out cookie, which you may need to reactivate.

LinkedIn Insight Tag

This website uses the Insight Tag from LinkedIn. The provider of this service is LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company, Wilton Plaza, Wilton Place, Dublin 2, Ireland.

Data processing by LinkedIn Insight Tag

With the help of the LinkedIn Insight Tag, we obtain information about visitors to our website. If a website visitor is registered with LinkedIn, we can, among other things, analyze the key professional data (e.g., career level, company size, country, location, industry, and job title) of our website visitors and thus better customize our site to the respective target groups. Furthermore, we can use LinkedIn Insight Tags to measure whether visitors to our websites make a purchase or take any other action (conversion measurement). Conversion measurement can also be done across devices (e.g., PC to tablet). LinkedIn Insight Tag also offers a retargeting function that allows us to display targeted advertising outside the website to visitors to our website, whereby, according to LinkedIn, no identification of the advertising addressee takes place.

The data collected by LinkedIn cannot be assigned to specific individuals by us as the website operator. LinkedIn will store the collected personal data of the website visitors on its servers in the USA and use them in the context of its advertising measures. For details, please refer to LinkedIn's privacy policy at https://www.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy#choices-oblig.
