2. Definitions

The legislator requires that personal data be processed lawfully, fairly, and in a transparent manner with respect to the data subject (“lawfulness, fairness, transparency”). To ensure this, we first inform you in this section about the individual legal definitions, which are also used in this privacy policy:

2.1 Personal data

“Personal data” means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (hereinafter “data subject”); an identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier, or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural, or social identity of that natural person.

2.2 Processing

“Processing” means any operation or set of operations performed on personal data, whether or not by automated means, such as collection, recording, organization, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure, or destruction.

2.3 Restriction of processing

“Restriction of processing” means the marking of stored personal data with the aim of limiting their processing in the future.

2.4 Profiling

“Profiling” means any form of automated processing of personal data consisting of the use of personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to analyze or predict aspects concerning work performance, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behavior, location, or movements of that natural person.

2.5 Pseudonymization

“Pseudonymization” means processing personal data in such a manner that the personal data can no longer be attributed to a specific data subject without the use of additional information, provided that such additional information is kept separately and is subject to technical and organizational measures to ensure that the personal data are not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.

2.6 Filing system

“Filing system” means any structured set of personal data that are accessible according to specific criteria, regardless of whether the collection is centralized, decentralized, or organized according to functional or geographical criteria.

2.7 Controller

“Controller” means the natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or other body which, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of processing personal data; where the purposes and means of processing are determined by Union or Member State law, the controller or the specific criteria for its nomination may be provided for by Union or Member State law.

2.8 Processor

“Processor” means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or other body which processes personal data on behalf of the controller.

2.9 Recipient

“Recipient” means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or another body to which personal data are disclosed, whether a third party or not. However, public authorities which may receive personal data in the context of a particular inquiry pursuant to Union or Member State law are not considered recipients; the processing of such data by those public authorities shall be in compliance with the applicable data protection rules according to the purposes of the processing.

2.10 Third party

“Third party” means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or body other than the data subject, controller, processor, and persons authorized to process personal data under the direct authority of the controller or processor.

2.11 Consent

“Consent” of the data subject means any freely given, specific, informed, and unambiguous indication of the data subject’s wishes by which he or she, by a statement or by a clear affirmative action, signifies agreement to the processing of personal data relating to him or her.

3. Lawfulness of processing

The processing of personal data is lawful only if there is a legal basis for the processing. Legal bases for processing according to Art. 6(1) sentence 1 letters (a) to (f) GDPR may include:
  1. The data subject has given consent to the processing of his or her personal data for one or more specific purposes;
  2. Processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party or to take steps at the request of the data subject prior to entering into a contract;
  3. Processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which the controller is subject;
  4. Processing is necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or of another natural person;
  5. Processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller;
  6. Processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by the controller or by a third party, except where overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject which require protection of personal data, particularly where the data subject is a child.

4. Purely Informational use of our website

In this section, we inform you about which data we process when you use our website purely for informational purposes, i.e., when you do not actively provide us with any data while visiting our website.

4.1 Log-files

When you view our website, we collect the following data in so-called log files, which are technically necessary for us to display our website to you and to ensure stability and security:

  • IP address
  • Date and time of the request
  • Time zone difference to Greenwich Mean Time (GMT)

We are authorized to collect and store this data pursuant to Art. 6(1) sentence 1 letter (f) GDPR, as we have a legitimate interest in the security and stability of our website. The data is automatically deleted after a maximum of 14 days unless there is a justified suspicion of unlawful activity.

4.2 Cookies

When using our website, cookies are stored on your device. Cookies are small text files stored on your device through which certain information is transmitted to the party setting the cookie. Cookies cannot execute programs or transmit viruses to your computer. They serve to make the overall internet offering more user-friendly and effective.

All information regarding the use of cookies – in particular information on the names of the cookie operators, explanations on storage duration, and existing third-party access rights – can be found in the so-called cookie banner.

4.2.1 Necessary cookies

We use cookies that are necessary to enable certain functions of our website so that your visit can be made as pleasant as possible. This includes, in particular, the so-called session cookies. These store a session ID with which various requests from your browser can be assigned to the common session. This allows your device to be recognized when you return to our website. Session cookies are deleted when you log out or close the browser.

We are authorized to use these cookies pursuant to Art. 6(1) sentence 1 letter (f) GDPR, as we have a legitimate interest in the functionality and correct display of our website.

The following statistical and marketing cookies are used:

NameProviderPurposeDuration
_gaGoogleUsed to distinguish individual users.2 years
_ga_*GoogleUsed to store the session status.2 years

4.2.2 Cookie settings

Cookies are stored on the user’s device and transmitted by it to our site. Therefore, as a user, you have full control over the use of cookies. By changing the settings in your internet browser, you can disable or restrict the transmission of cookies. Cookies already stored can be deleted at any time. This can also be done automatically.

Of course, you can also visit our website without cookies. However, if you want to use our website fully or comfortably, you should accept cookies. Most web browsers are set by default to accept cookies. However, you have the option to configure your browser to show cookies before storing them, accept or reject only certain cookies, or reject cookies altogether. Please note that changes to settings always affect only the respective browser. If you use different browsers or switch devices, you must make the settings again. Furthermore, you can delete cookies from your storage medium at any time. Information about cookie settings, changes, and deletion of cookies can be found in the help section of your web browser.

4.3 Web analysis

4.3.1 Use of Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics on our website, a web analysis service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, parent company: Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (hereinafter referred to as “Google”).

Google Analytics uses so-called “cookies”, text files stored on your computer that enable an analysis of your use of the website. In addition, Google Analytics uses so-called tracking pixels (also called “web beacons”). These are usually invisible graphic elements on our website, which register page views and can collect further information about the page visit.

The information generated about your use of this website is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. In the case of IP anonymization being activated on this website, your IP address will be shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or other parties to the Agreement on the European Economic Area before transmission. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. Google will use this information to evaluate your use of our website, compile reports on website activity, and provide other services related to website usage and internet usage to us. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics is not merged with other Google data.

This website uses Google Analytics with the extension “_anonymizeIp()”. This means IP addresses are processed in a shortened form, excluding personal identification. If personal data relating to you is collected, this is immediately excluded and the personal data is promptly deleted.

We use Google Analytics to analyze the use of our website and to improve it regularly. Through the statistics obtained, we can improve our offerings and make them more interesting for you as a user.

Google Analytics is only used if you expressly consent to its use. The legal basis for the processing is Art. 6(1) sentence 1 letter a) GDPR (consent) in conjunction with § 25(1) TTDSG. The transfer of data to the USA is based on the adequacy decision of the European Commission dated 10.07.2023. According to Art. 45 GDPR, the European Commission can decide by adequacy decision that a country outside the EU has an equivalent data protection level. For the USA, the European Commission has determined that companies located there must also certify under the so-called Trans-Atlantic Data Privacy Framework (“TADPF”). By certification, these companies commit to complying with certain TADPF rules ensuring an appropriate level of data protection. Google is also certified under TADPF.

Below are some links with further information for you:

5. General inquiries

If you contact us by mail, email, contact form, telephone, or fax, your inquiry including all personal data resulting from it will be stored and processed for the purpose of handling your request. We will not share this data without your consent.

5.1 Legal basis for data processing

The processing of this data is based on Art. 6(1) sentence 1 letter b) GDPR if your inquiry is related to the fulfillment of a contract concluded with us or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures, and on Art. 6(1) sentence 1 letter a) GDPR insofar as it is based on your prior consent. Otherwise, the processing is based on Art. 6(1) sentence 1 letter f) GDPR, as we have a legitimate interest in the effective handling of inquiries addressed to us. Furthermore, we may also be entitled to process the mentioned data under Art. 6(1) sentence 1 letter c) GDPR as we are legally obligated to enable quick electronic contact and immediate communication with us.

5.2 Duration of storage

Your data will be used exclusively for the purpose of processing and answering your inquiry and will be deleted after the inquiry is completed, unless we are subject to legal retention obligations. The storage period is 21 days.

You have the right at any time to revoke your consent to the processing of personal data and to object to the storage of your personal data that you have transmitted to us. In this case, the conversation cannot be continued. All personal data stored during the contact will then be deleted.

Please note that confidentiality of emails or other electronic communication forms over the internet cannot be guaranteed. For confidential information, postal mail is recommended.

6. Integration of third-party services

6.1 Integration of social media plugins

We currently use various social media plugins, which we list below. We use the so-called two-click solution. This means that when you visit our site, no personal data is initially transmitted to the plugin providers. You can identify the plugin provider by the marking on the box, either by its initial letter or logo. We provide you with the option to communicate directly with the plugin provider via the button. Only when you click on the marked field and activate it does the plugin provider receive the information that you have accessed the respective website of our online offer. Additionally, the data collected during your visit to our website is transmitted.

In the case of Facebook and Xing, according to the respective providers, the IP address is anonymized immediately upon collection in Germany. By activating the plugin, personal data is thus transmitted to the respective plugin provider and stored there (for US-based providers in the USA). Since the plugin provider collects data mainly via cookies, we recommend deleting all cookies via your browser’s security settings before clicking on the grayed-out box.

We have no influence on the data collected and the data processing operations, nor do we know the full extent of the data collection, the purposes of processing, or the storage periods. We also have no information on the deletion of the data collected by the plugin provider.

The plugin provider stores the collected data as user profiles and uses them for advertising, market research, and/or to tailor its website. Such evaluations are carried out especially (also for users not logged in) to display targeted advertising and to inform other users of the social network about your activities on our website. You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles; to exercise this right, you must contact the respective plugin provider. Through the plugins, we offer you the possibility to interact with social networks and other users, allowing us to improve our offer and make it more interesting for you as a user. The legal basis for using the plugins is Art. 6(1) sentence 1 letter f) GDPR.

Data transfer occurs regardless of whether you have an account with the plugin provider and are logged in there. If you are logged in with the plugin provider, the data collected from us is directly assigned to your account with the plugin provider. If you activate the button, the plugin provider also stores this information in your user account and may publicly share it with your contacts. We recommend logging out regularly after using a social network, especially before activating the button, to avoid linking the data to your profile with the plugin provider.

Further information about the purpose and scope of data collection and processing by the plugin provider can be found in the privacy policies of these providers provided below. There you will also find information about your rights and settings to protect your privacy.

7. Processors

Your personal data will not be transferred to third parties for purposes other than those stated in this privacy policy. We only share your personal data with third parties if

  • you have given your explicit consent according to Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. a GDPR,
  • the transfer is necessary according to Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. f GDPR for asserting, exercising, or defending legal claims and there is no reason to believe that you have an overriding legitimate interest in not disclosing your data,
  • there is a legal obligation to transfer data according to Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. c GDPR, or
  • it is legally permissible and necessary according to Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. b GDPR for the processing of contractual relationships with you.

Recipients of the data include public authorities that receive data based on legal regulations (e.g., social security agencies, tax authorities), internal departments involved in carrying out the respective business processes (personnel administration, accounting, banking/payment service providers, invoicing, customer service, marketing, sales), transport or shipping companies commissioned by us for shipping products, contractual partners, and business partners insofar as legal requirements demand or permit this.

Like any modern company, we work with processors to provide you with uninterrupted and best possible service.

When cooperating with external service providers, processing on the basis of Art. 28 GDPR regularly takes place. We conclude appropriate agreements with our partners to ensure the protection of your data. We only use carefully selected processors for processing your data. These processors are bound by our instructions and are regularly monitored by us. We only commission external service providers who have ensured that all data processing operations comply with data protection regulations.

8. Online offers on social media platforms

We maintain profiles on various social networks. In this context, we process data of visitors in order to communicate with them, for example.

In addition, visitor data is usually processed (or further processed) by the operators of the networks within the social networks for market research and advertising purposes. This allows usage behavior to be analyzed and user profiles to be created based on the resulting interests. This generally happens through the use of cookies. Furthermore, usage profiles may also store data independent of the devices used by the users (especially if the users are members of the respective platforms and logged in). The usage profiles obtained this way—usually across devices—are used by the platform operators to display personalized advertising to you. We have no influence on the processing of personal data by the respective platform operators.

Data processing may also affect individuals who are not registered as users on the respective social media platform. Your data may possibly be processed outside the territory of the European Union, which may make it difficult to enforce your rights.

  • The data processed may therefore include:
  • Contact data (for example, your email address)
  • Usage data (for example, access times)
  • Metadata (for example, your IP address)

The legal basis for this is the consent you have given to your platform operator in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR.

Our processing is based on our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. f GDPR. We have a legitimate interest in presenting ourselves on social media and offering you additional communication channels.

Detailed information about data processing in connection with the use of our social media offers, options to object (opt-out), and exercising your rights to information can be found in the privacy policy of the respective platform operator. Below, we have compiled some information about the platforms on which we maintain profiles:

Our offer is generally aimed at adults. Persons under the age of 18 should not transmit any personal data to us without the consent of their parents or legal guardians.

10. Obligation to provide data

There is no legal obligation to provide us with personal data.

11. Profiling

Automated decision-making within the meaning of Art. 22 GDPR does not take place.

12. Your rights

In this section, we inform you about the rights you have regarding your personal data.

Requests for information, correction, and deletion, as well as the withdrawal or objection to the further use of data based on any consents you may have given us, can be made informally to the above-mentioned addresses.

12.1 Withdrawal of consent

If the processing of personal data is based on consent you have given, you have the right to withdraw this consent at any time. As a result, we may no longer continue processing the data based on this consent for the future. The withdrawal of consent does not affect the legality of the processing carried out based on the consent until the withdrawal.

12.2 Right to confirmation

If the processing of personal data is based on consent you have given, you have the right to withdraw this consent at any time. As a result, we may no longer continue processing the data based on this consent for the future. The withdrawal of consent does not affect the legality of the processing carried out based on the consent until the withdrawal.

12.3 Right of access

If personal data are processed, you have the right to obtain information about these personal data and the following details at any time:

  1. the purposes of the processing;
  2. the categories of personal data being processed;
  3. the recipients or categories of recipients to whom the personal data have been or will be disclosed, especially recipients in third countries or international organizations;
  4. where possible, the planned duration for which the personal data will be stored, or, if not possible, the criteria used to determine this duration;
  5. the existence of the right to request correction or deletion of personal data concerning you, or to restrict processing by the controller, or to object to such processing;
  6. the existence of the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority;
  7. if the personal data are not collected from the data subject, all available information about their origin;
  8. the existence of automated decision-making including profiling pursuant to Article 22(1) and (4) GDPR and — at least in those cases — meaningful information about the logic involved as well as the significance and the envisaged consequences of such processing for the data subject.


If personal data are transferred to a third country or to an international organization, you have the right to be informed about the appropriate safeguards pursuant to Art. 46 GDPR in connection with the transfer. We will provide a copy of the personal data undergoing processing. For any additional copies you request, we may charge a reasonable fee based on administrative costs. If you make the request electronically, the information will be provided in a commonly used electronic format unless you specify otherwise. The right to receive a copy pursuant to paragraph 3 must not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others.

12.4 Right to rectification

You have the right to request that we promptly correct any inaccurate personal data concerning you. Taking into account the purposes of processing, you also have the right to request the completion of incomplete personal data — including by means of a supplementary statement.

12.5 Right to deletion ("Right to be forgotten")

You have the right to request that the controller delete personal data concerning you without undue delay, and we are obligated to delete personal data without undue delay if one of the following reasons applies:
  1. The personal data are no longer necessary for the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed.
  2. The data subject withdraws consent on which the processing is based according to Art. 6(1)(a) or Art. 9(2)(a) GDPR, and there is no other legal ground for the processing.
  3. The data subject objects to the processing pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing, or the data subject objects to the processing pursuant to Art. 21(2) GDPR.
  4. The personal data have been unlawfully processed.
  5. The deletion of the personal data is necessary to comply with a legal obligation under Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject.
  6. The personal data have been collected in relation to the offer of information society services referred to in Art. 8(1) GDPR.
If the controller has made the personal data public and is obliged pursuant to paragraph 1 to delete it, they shall take reasonable steps, including technical measures, considering available technology and the implementation costs, to inform controllers processing the personal data that the data subject has requested the deletion of any links to, or copies or replications of, those personal data. The right to deletion (“right to be forgotten”) does not apply insofar as processing is necessary:
  • for exercising the right of freedom of expression and information;
  • for compliance with a legal obligation which requires processing under Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject, or for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller;
  • for reasons of public interest in the area of public health pursuant to Art. 9(2)(h) and (i) and Art. 9(3) GDPR;
  • for archiving purposes in the public interest, scientific or historical research purposes or statistical purposes pursuant to Art. 89(1) GDPR, insofar as the right referred to in paragraph 1 is likely to render impossible or seriously impair the achievement of the objectives of that processing; or
  • for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims.

12.6 Right to restrict processing

You have the right to request that we restrict the processing of your personal data if one of the following conditions applies:

  • The accuracy of the personal data is disputed by the data subject, for a period enabling the controller to verify the accuracy of the personal data;
  • The processing is unlawful and the data subject opposes the deletion of the personal data and requests instead the restriction of their use;
  • The controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of processing, but the data subject requires them for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims; or
  • The data subject has objected to processing pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR pending the verification whether the legitimate grounds of the controller override those of the data subject.

If the processing has been restricted based on the above conditions, these personal data shall only be processed – apart from storage – with the consent of the data subject or for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interest of the Union or a Member State.

12.7 Right to information

You have the right to request correction, deletion, or restriction of processing from the controller. The controller is then obligated to inform all recipients to whom your personal data has been disclosed about the correction, deletion, or restriction of processing, unless this proves impossible or involves a disproportionate effort.

You also have the right to be informed by the controller about these recipients.

12.8 Right to data portability

You have the right to receive the personal data concerning you that you have provided to us in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format, and you have the right to transmit those data to another controller without hindrance from the controller to whom the personal data have been provided, provided that:

  1. the processing is based on consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) or Art. 9(2)(a) or on a contract pursuant to Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR, and
  2. the processing is carried out by automated means.

When exercising the right to data portability under paragraph 1, you have the right to have the personal data transmitted directly from one controller to another, where technically feasible. Exercising the right to data portability does not affect the right to erasure (“right to be forgotten”). This right does not apply to processing necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller.

12.9 Right to object

You have the right under Article 21 GDPR to object at any time, for reasons arising from your particular situation, to the processing of personal data concerning you which is based on Article 6(1)(e) or (f) GDPR; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions. The controller shall no longer process the personal data unless they demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override the interests, rights, and freedoms of the data subject, or the processing serves the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.

If personal data is processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you for such marketing; this also applies to profiling to the extent that it is related to such direct marketing. If you object to processing for direct marketing purposes, the personal data will no longer be processed for these purposes.

In connection with the use of information society services, you may exercise your right to object by automated means using technical specifications, regardless of Directive 2002/58/EC.

You also have the right to object, for reasons arising from your particular situation, to the processing of personal data concerning you for scientific or historical research purposes or statistical purposes pursuant to Article 89(1), unless the processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out for reasons of public interest. 

12.10 Right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority

You also have the right—without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy—to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of your habitual residence, place of work, or place of the alleged infringement, if you believe that the processing of your personal data violates this Regulation. The supervisory authority with which the complaint has been lodged will inform the complainant of the progress and outcome of the complaint, including the possibility of a judicial remedy under Article 78 GDPR. A list of supervisory authorities and their contact details can be found at the following link: https://www.bfdi.bund.de/DE/Infothek/Anschriften_Links/anschriften_links-node.html.

13. Changes

Due to the rapid development of the internet and data protection law, we expressly reserve the right to make changes to this privacy policy.
