Privacy

We are delighted that you are interested in our company. Data protection is very important to us. You can use the ZIMT website without providing any personal data. However, if a data subject wishes to use specific services offered by our company via our website, it may be necessary to process personal data.

If the processing of personal data is necessary and there is no legal basis for such processing, we generally obtain the consent of the data subject.

The processing of personal data, such as the name, address, email address or telephone number of a data subject, is always carried out in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation and in compliance with the country-specific data protection regulations applicable to ZIMT. Through this privacy policy, our company would like to inform the public about the nature, scope and purpose of the personal data we collect, use and process. Furthermore, this privacy policy informs data subjects about their rights.

As the controller, ZIMT has implemented numerous technical and organisational measures to ensure that the personal data processed via this website is protected as completely as possible. Nevertheless, Internet-based data transmissions can generally have security gaps, so that absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, every data subject is free to transmit personal data to us by alternative means, for example by telephone.

1. Definitions

ZIMT's privacy policy is based on the terms used by the European legislator when the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) was adopted. Our privacy policy is intended to be easy to read and understand for the public as well as for our customers and business partners. To ensure this, we would like to explain the terms used in advance.

We use the following terms, among others, in this privacy policy:

• a) Personal data Personal data is any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (hereinafter referred to as ‘data subject’). A natural person is considered identifiable if they can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by association with an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person.
• b) Data subjectA data subject is any identified or identifiable natural person whose personal data is processed by the controller.
• c) Processing Processing means any operation or set of operations which is performed on personal data or on sets thereof, whether or not by automated means, such as collection, recording, organisation, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, distribution or any other form of provision, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure or destruction.
• d) Restriction of processingRestriction of processing is the marking of stored personal data with the aim of limiting their future processing.
• e) Profiling Profiling is any form of automated processing of personal data consisting of the use of such personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to analyse or predict aspects concerning that natural person's performance at work, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behaviour, location or movements.
• f) PseudonymisationPseudonymisation is the processing of 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 organisational measures to ensure that the personal data is not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.
• g) Controller or controllerThe controller is the natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data. Where the purposes and means of such processing are determined by Union law or the law of Member States, the controller or the specific criteria for his or her nomination may be provided for by Union law or the law of Member States.
• h) ProcessorA processor is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which processes personal data on behalf of the controller.
• i) RecipientA recipient is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body, to whom personal data are disclosed, regardless of whether they are a third party or not. However, public authorities that may receive personal data in the course of a specific investigation under Union law or the law of Member States are not considered recipients.
• j) Third partyA third party is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body other than the data subject, the controller, the processor and persons who, under the direct authority of the controller or the processor, are authorised to process personal data.
• k) Consent 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 such action as to allow reasonable inferences to be drawn as to the data subject's consent, signifies agreement to the processing of personal data relating to the data subject.

The ZIMT website uses cookies. Cookies are text files that are stored on a computer system via an Internet browser.

Numerous websites and servers use cookies. Many cookies contain a so-called cookie ID. A cookie ID is a unique identifier for the cookie. It consists of a string of characters that allows websites and servers to be assigned to the specific Internet browser in which the cookie was stored. This enables the websites and servers visited to distinguish the individual browser of the person concerned from other Internet browsers that contain other cookies. A specific Internet browser can be recognised and identified via the unique cookie ID.

By using cookies, ZIMT can provide users of this website with more user-friendly services that would not be possible without the use of cookies.

Cookies enable us to optimise the information and offers on our website for the benefit of the user. As already mentioned, cookies enable us to recognise users of our website. The purpose of this recognition is to make it easier for users to use our website. For example, users of a website that uses cookies do not have to re-enter their access data each time they visit the website, as this is stored by the website and the cookie stored on the user's computer system. Another example is the cookie used in an online shop's shopping basket. The online shop uses a cookie to remember the items that a customer has placed in their virtual shopping basket.

The data subject can prevent the setting of cookies by our website at any time by means of a corresponding setting in the Internet browser used and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Furthermore, cookies that have already been set can be deleted at any time via an Internet browser or other software programmes. This is possible in all common Internet browsers. If the data subject deactivates the setting of cookies in the Internet browser used, it may not be possible to use all functions of our website to their full extent.

5. Collection of general data and information

The ZIMT website collects a series of general data and information each time the website is accessed by a data subject or an automated system. This general data and information is stored in the server log files. The following may be collected (1) the browser types and versions used, (2) the operating system used by the accessing system, (3) the website from which an accessing system reaches our website (so-called referrers), (4) the sub-websites that are accessed on our website via an accessing system, (5) the date and time of access to the website, (6) an Internet Protocol address (IP address), (7) the Internet service provider of the accessing system, and (8) other similar data and information that serve to protect against attacks on our information technology systems.

When using this general data and information, ZIMT does not draw any conclusions about the data subject. This information is required in order to (1) deliver the content of our website correctly, (2) optimise the content of our website and the advertising for it, (3) ensure the long-term functionality of our information technology systems and the technology of our website, and (4) provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for prosecution in the event of a cyber attack. This anonymously collected data and information is therefore evaluated by ZIMT on the one hand statistically and on the other hand with the aim of increasing data protection and data security in our company in order to ultimately ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data we process. The anonymous data in the server log files is stored separately from all personal data provided by a data subject.

6. Registration on our website

The data subject has the option of registering on the website of the controller by providing personal data. Which personal data is transmitted to the controller is determined by the respective input mask used for registration. The personal data entered by the data subject is collected and stored exclusively for internal use by the controller and for its own purposes. The controller may arrange for the data to be passed on to one or more processors, for example a parcel service provider, who will also use the personal data exclusively for internal use attributable to the controller.

By registering on the website of the controller, the IP address assigned by the Internet service provider (ISP) of the data subject, the date and time of registration are also stored. This data is stored for the purpose of preventing misuse of our services and, if necessary, enabling the investigation of criminal offences. In this respect, the storage of this data is necessary for the protection of the controller. This data will not be passed on to third parties unless there is a legal obligation to do so or the disclosure serves the purpose of criminal prosecution.

The registration of the data subject by voluntarily providing personal data serves the purpose of the controller to offer the data subject content or services that, due to their nature, can only be offered to registered users. Registered persons are free to change the personal data provided during registration at any time or to have it completely deleted from the data controller's database.

The controller shall provide any data subject with information about the personal data stored about them at any time upon request. Furthermore, the controller shall correct or delete personal data at the request or on the instruction of the data subject, unless there are legal obligations to retain such data. All employees of the controller are available to the data subject as contact persons in this regard.

7. Subscription to our newsletter

On the ZIMT website, users are given the opportunity to subscribe to our company newsletter. The personal data transmitted to the controller when ordering the newsletter is determined by the input mask used for this purpose.

ZIMT informs its customers and business partners at regular intervals about offers from the company by means of a newsletter. The newsletter of our company can only be received by the data subject if (1) the data subject has a valid email address and (2) the data subject has registered for the newsletter. For legal reasons, a confirmation email is sent to the email address entered by a data subject for the first time for the newsletter dispatch in a double opt-in procedure. This confirmation email serves to verify that the owner of the email address is the data subject who authorised the receipt of the newsletter.

When registering for the newsletter, we also store the IP address assigned by the Internet service provider (ISP) of the computer system used by the data subject at the time of registration, as well as the date and time of registration. The collection of this data is necessary in order to be able to trace any (possible) misuse of the email address of a data subject at a later point in time and therefore serves to provide legal protection for the controller.

The personal data collected when registering for the newsletter will be used exclusively for sending our newsletter. Furthermore, subscribers to the newsletter may be informed by email if this is necessary for the operation of the newsletter service or for registration in this regard, as may be the case in the event of changes to the newsletter offer or changes to the technical conditions. The personal data collected as part of the newsletter service will not be passed on to third parties. The data subject can unsubscribe from our newsletter at any time. The consent to the storage of personal data that the data subject has given us for the purpose of sending the newsletter can be revoked at any time. For the purpose of revoking consent, a corresponding link is provided in every newsletter. Furthermore, it is possible to unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time directly on the website of the controller responsible for processing or to inform the controller responsible for processing in another way.

8. Newsletter tracking

ZIMT newsletters contain so-called tracking pixels. A tracking pixel is a miniature graphic embedded in emails sent in HTML format to enable log file recording and log file analysis. This allows a statistical evaluation of the success or failure of online marketing campaigns. Using the embedded tracking pixel, ZIMT can recognise whether and when an email has been opened by a data subject and which links in the email have been accessed by the data subject.

Such personal data collected via the tracking pixels contained in the newsletters is stored and evaluated by the controller in order to optimise the newsletter dispatch and to tailor the content of future newsletters even better to the interests of the data subject. This personal data is not passed on to third parties. Data subjects are entitled to revoke their separate declaration of consent given via the double opt-in procedure at any time. Upon revocation, this personal data will be deleted by the controller. ZIMT automatically interprets unsubscribing from the newsletter as revocation.

9. Contact option via the website

In accordance with legal requirements, the ZIMT website contains information that enables you to contact our company quickly and directly, including a general email address.

If a data subject contacts the controller by email or via a contact form, the personal data transmitted by the data subject will be stored automatically. Such personal data transmitted voluntarily by a data subject to the controller will be stored for the purpose of processing or contacting the data subject. This personal data will not be passed on to third parties.

10. Comment function on the blog on the website

ZIMT offers users the opportunity to leave individual comments on individual blog posts on a blog located on the website of the controller. A blog is a portal maintained on a website, usually publicly accessible, in which one or more persons, known as bloggers or web bloggers, can post articles or write down their thoughts in so-called blog posts. The blog posts can usually be commented on by third parties.

If a data subject leaves a comment on the blog published on this website, the comments left by the data subject will be stored and published along with information about the time the comment was made and the user name (pseudonym) chosen by the data subject. Furthermore, the IP address assigned by the Internet service provider (ISP) of the data subject is also logged. This IP address is stored for security reasons and in the event that the data subject violates the rights of third parties or posts illegal content through a comment. The storage of this personal data is therefore in the legitimate interest of the controller, so that the latter can exonerate itself in the event of a legal violation. This personal data will not be passed on to third parties unless such disclosure is required by law or serves to defend the legal interests of the controller.

11. Subscription to comments on the blog on the website

Comments posted on the ZIMT blog can generally be subscribed to by third parties. In particular, it is possible for a commenter to subscribe to comments following their comment on a specific blog post.

If a data subject chooses to subscribe to comments, the controller will send an automatic confirmation email to verify, using a double opt-in procedure, that the owner of the email address provided has actually chosen this option. The option to subscribe to comments can be cancelled at any time.

12. Routine deletion and blocking of personal data

The controller processes and stores personal data of the data subject only for the period necessary to achieve the purpose of storage or if this has been provided for by the European directive and regulation issuer or another legislator in laws or regulations to which the controller is subject.

If the purpose of storage no longer applies or if a storage period prescribed by European Directive and Regulation authorities or other competent legislators expires, the personal data will be routinely blocked or deleted in accordance with the statutory provisions.

The controller collects and processes the personal data of applicants for the purpose of handling the application process. Processing may also be carried out electronically. This is particularly the case if an applicant submits relevant application documents to the controller by electronic means, for example by email or via a web form on the website. If the controller concludes an employment contract with an applicant, the data transmitted will be stored for the purpose of processing the employment relationship in compliance with the statutory provisions. If the controller does not conclude an employment contract with the applicant, the application documents will be automatically deleted two months after notification of the rejection decision, unless other legitimate interests of the controller prevent deletion. Other legitimate interests in this sense include, for example, a burden of proof in proceedings under the General Equal Treatment Act (AGG).

15. Data protection provisions for the use and application of AddThis

The controller has integrated components from the company AddThis on this website. AddThis is a so-called bookmarking provider. The service enables simplified bookmarking of websites via buttons. By hovering over the AddThis component with the mouse or clicking on it, a list of bookmarking and sharing services is displayed. AddThis is used on over 15 million websites, and according to the operating company, the buttons are displayed over 20 billion times a year.

The operating company of AddThis is AddThis, Inc. 1595 Spring Hill Road, Suite 300, Vienna, VA 22182, USA.

Each time one of the individual pages of this website, which is operated by the controller and on which an AddThis component has been integrated, is accessed, the Internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject is automatically prompted by the respective AddThis component to download data from the website www.addthis.com. As part of this technical process, AddThis becomes aware of the visit and which specific individual page of this website is being used by the information technology system used by the data subject. Furthermore, AddThis obtains knowledge of the IP address assigned by the Internet service provider (ISP) of the computer system used by the data subject, the browser type, the browser language, the website accessed before our website, the date and time of the visit to our website. AddThis uses this data to create anonymous user profiles. The data and information transmitted to AddThis in this way enable AddThis itself, as well as companies affiliated with AddThis or its partner companies, to target visitors to the websites of the data controller with personalised and interest-based advertising.

AddThis displays personalised and interest-based advertising based on a cookie set by the company. This cookie analyses the individual surfing behaviour of the computer system used by the data subject. The cookie stores visits to websites originating from the computer system.

The data subject can prevent the setting of cookies by our website at any time, as described above, by means of a corresponding setting in the Internet browser used and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Such a setting of the Internet browser used would also prevent AddThis from setting a cookie on the data subject's information technology system. In addition, cookies already set by AddThis can be deleted at any time via an Internet browser or other software programmes.

The data subject also has the option of permanently objecting to the processing of personal data by AddThis. To do this, the data subject must press the opt-out button under the link http://www.addthis.com/privacy/opt-out, which sets an opt-out cookie. The opt-out cookie set with the objection is stored on the information technology system used by the data subject. If the cookies are deleted from the data subject's system after an objection, the data subject must call up the link again and set a new opt-out cookie.

However, setting the opt-out cookie may mean that the data controller's websites are no longer fully usable for the data subject.

The applicable data protection provisions of AddThis can be found at http://www.addthis.com/privacy/privacy-policy.

16. Data protection provisions for the use and application of Facebook

The controller has integrated components of the Facebook company into this website. Facebook is a social network.

A social network is a social meeting place operated on the Internet, an online community that generally enables users to communicate with each other and interact in a virtual space. A social network can serve as a platform for exchanging opinions and experiences or enable the Internet community to provide personal or company-related information. Facebook allows users of the social network to create private profiles, upload photos and network via friend requests, among other things.

The operating company of Facebook is Facebook, Inc., 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA. If a data subject lives outside the USA or Canada, the controller responsible for the processing of personal data is Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland.

Each time one of the individual pages of this website, which is operated by the controller and on which a Facebook component (Facebook plug-in) has been integrated, is accessed, the Internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject is automatically prompted by the respective Facebook component to download a representation of the corresponding Facebook component from Facebook. A complete overview of all Facebook plug-ins can be found at https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/?locale=de_DE. As part of this technical process, Facebook is informed of which specific subpage of our website is visited by the data subject.

If the data subject is logged into Facebook at the same time, Facebook recognises which specific subpage of our website the data subject is visiting each time the data subject accesses our website and for the entire duration of the data subject's visit to our website. This information is collected by the Facebook component and assigned by Facebook to the respective Facebook account of the data subject. If the person clicks on one of the Facebook buttons integrated into our website, for example the ‘Like’ button, or if the person posts a comment, Facebook assigns this information to the personal Facebook user account of the person and stores this personal data.

Facebook always receives information via the Facebook component that the data subject has visited our website if the data subject is logged into Facebook at the same time as visiting our website; this occurs regardless of whether the data subject clicks on the Facebook component or not. If the data subject does not want this information to be transferred to Facebook, they can prevent this by logging out of their Facebook account before visiting our website.

The data policy published by Facebook, which can be found at https://de-de.facebook.com/about/privacy/, provides information about the collection, processing and use of personal data by Facebook. It also explains the settings options Facebook offers to protect the privacy of the data subject. In addition, various applications are available that allow data transmission to Facebook to be suppressed. Such applications can be used by the data subject to suppress data transmission to Facebook.

17. Data protection provisions for the use and application of Getty Images images

The controller has integrated components of the Getty Images company on this website. Getty Images is an American image agency. An image agency is a company that offers images and other image material on the market. Image agencies usually market photographs, illustrations and film material. Various customers, in particular website operators, editorial offices of print and TV media, and advertising agencies, license the images they use through an image agency.

The operating company of the Getty Images components is Getty Images International, 1st Floor, The Herbert Building, The Park, Carrickmines, Dublin 18, Ireland.

Getty Images allows the embedding of stock images (free of charge in some cases). Embedding is the integration of specific third-party content, such as text, video or image data, which is provided by a third-party website and then appears on your own website. A so-called embed code is used for embedding. An embed code is HTML code that is integrated into a website by a website operator. If an embed code has been integrated by a website operator, the external content of the other website is displayed immediately by default as soon as a website is visited. To display the third-party content, the external content is loaded directly from the other website. Getty Images provides further information about embedding content at http://www.gettyimages.de/resources/embed.

The technical implementation of the embedding code that enables the display of Getty Images images transfers the IP address of the Internet connection used by the data subject to access our website to Getty Images. Furthermore, Getty Images records our website, the type of browser used, the browser language, the time and duration of access. In addition, Getty Images may collect navigation information, i.e. information about which of our subpages were visited by the data subject and which links were clicked, as well as other interactions that the data subject carried out while visiting our website. This data may be stored and evaluated by Getty Images.

Further information and the applicable privacy policy of Getty Images can be found at https://www.gettyimages.de/company/privacy-policy.

18. Privacy policy on the use and application of Google AdSense

The controller has integrated Google AdSense into this website. Google AdSense is an online service that enables the placement of advertisements on third-party websites. Google AdSense is based on an algorithm that selects advertisements displayed on third-party websites to match the content of the respective third-party website. Google AdSense allows interest-based targeting of Internet users, which is implemented by generating individual user profiles.

The operating company of the Google AdSense component is Alphabet Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA.

The purpose of the Google AdSense component is to integrate advertisements on our website. Google AdSense places a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. What cookies are has already been explained above. By placing the cookie, Alphabet Inc. is enabled to analyse the use of our website. Each time one of the individual pages of this website, which is operated by the controller and on which a Google AdSense component has been integrated, is accessed, the Internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject is automatically prompted by the respective Google AdSense component to transmit data to Alphabet Inc. for the purpose of online advertising and commission settlement. As part of this technical process, Alphabet Inc. obtains knowledge of personal data, such as the IP address of the data subject, which Alphabet Inc. uses, among other things, to track the origin of visitors and clicks and subsequently enable commission settlements.

The data subject can prevent the setting of cookies by our website at any time, as described above, by means of a corresponding setting in the Internet browser used and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Such a setting of the Internet browser used would also prevent Alphabet Inc. from setting a cookie on the data subject's information technology system. In addition, a cookie already set by Alphabet Inc. can be deleted at any time via the Internet browser or other software programmes.

Google AdSense also uses so-called tracking pixels. A tracking pixel is a miniature graphic that is embedded in Internet pages to enable log file recording and log file analysis, which allows a statistical evaluation to be carried out. The embedded tracking pixel enables Alphabet Inc. to recognise whether and when a website has been accessed by a data subject and which links have been clicked on by the data subject. Tracking pixels are used, among other things, to evaluate the visitor flow of a website.

Via Google AdSense, personal data and information, including the IP address, which is necessary for the recording and billing of the advertisements displayed, is transferred to Alphabet Inc. in the United States of America. This personal data is stored and processed in the United States of America. Alphabet Inc. may pass on this personal data collected via the technical process to third parties.

Google AdSense is explained in more detail at this link: https://www.google.de/intl/de/adsense/start/.

19. Data protection provisions for the use of Google Remarketing

The controller has integrated Google Remarketing services into this website. Google Remarketing is a function of Google AdWords that enables a company to display advertisements to Internet users who have previously visited the company's website. The integration of Google Remarketing therefore allows a company to create user-specific advertising and consequently display advertisements that are relevant to the Internet user's interests.

The operator of Google Remarketing services is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA.

The purpose of Google Remarketing is to display interest-based advertising. Google Remarketing enables us to display advertisements via the Google advertising network or on other websites that are tailored to the individual needs and interests of Internet users.

Google Remarketing places a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. Cookies have been explained above. The cookie enables Google to recognise visitors to our website when they subsequently visit other websites that are also members of the Google advertising network. Each time a website is accessed on which the Google Remarketing service has been integrated, the Internet browser of the data subject is automatically identified by Google. As part of this technical process, Google obtains knowledge of personal data, such as the IP address or the surfing behaviour of the user, which Google uses, among other things, to display interest-based advertising.

The cookie stores personal information, such as the websites visited by the data subject. Each time you visit our website, personal data, including the IP address of the Internet connection used by the data subject, is transmitted to Google in the United States of America. This personal data is stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may pass on this personal data collected through the technical process to third parties.

The data subject can prevent the setting of cookies by our website at any time, as described above, by means of a corresponding setting of the Internet browser used and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Such a setting of the Internet browser used would also prevent Google from setting a cookie on the data subject's information technology system. In addition, a cookie already set by Google Analytics can be deleted at any time via the Internet browser or other software programmes.

Furthermore, the data subject has the option of objecting to interest-based advertising by Google. To do this, the data subject must call up the link www.google.de/settings/ads from each of the Internet browsers they use and make the desired settings there.

Further information and the applicable data protection provisions of Google can be found at https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/.

20. Data protection provisions for the use and application of Google AdWords

The controller has integrated Google AdWords into this website. Google AdWords is an internet advertising service that allows advertisers to place ads in Google's search engine results and in the Google advertising network. Google AdWords allows an advertiser to pre-define specific keywords that will trigger an ad to appear in Google's search engine results only when the user enters a keyword-relevant search query into the search engine. In the Google advertising network, the ads are distributed to relevant websites using an automatic algorithm and in accordance with the previously specified keywords.

The operating company of Google AdWords services is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA.

The purpose of Google AdWords is to promote our website by displaying interest-based advertising on the websites of third-party companies and in the search results of the Google search engine, and to display third-party advertising on our website.

If a data subject accesses our website via a Google advertisement, Google places a so-called conversion cookie on the data subject's information technology system. What cookies are has already been explained above. A conversion cookie expires after thirty days and is not used to identify the data subject. The conversion cookie is used to track whether certain subpages, such as the shopping cart of an online shop system, have been accessed on our website, provided that the cookie has not yet expired. The conversion cookie enables both us and Google to determine whether a data subject who has accessed our website via an AdWords ad has generated a sale, i.e. whether they have completed or cancelled a purchase.

The data and information collected through the use of the conversion cookie is used by Google to compile visit statistics for our website. We in turn use these visit statistics to determine the total number of users who were referred to us via AdWords ads, i.e. to determine the success or failure of the respective AdWords ad and to optimise our AdWords ads for the future. Neither our company nor other Google AdWords advertising customers receive information from Google that could be used to identify the data subject.

The conversion cookie stores personal information, such as the websites visited by the data subject. Each time you visit our website, personal data, including the IP address of the Internet connection used by the data subject, is transmitted to Google in the United States of America. This personal data is stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may pass on this personal data collected using technical means to third parties.

The data subject can prevent the setting of cookies by our website at any time, as described above, by adjusting the settings of the Internet browser used and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Such a setting of the Internet browser used would also prevent Google from setting a conversion cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. In addition, a cookie already set by Google AdWords can be deleted at any time via the Internet browser or other software programmes.

Furthermore, the data subject has the option of objecting to interest-based advertising by Google. To do this, the data subject must access the link www.google.de/settings/ads from each of the Internet browsers they use and make the desired settings there.

Further information and Google's applicable data protection provisions can be found at https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/.

21. Data protection provisions on the use and application of LinkedIn

The controller has integrated components of LinkedIn Corporation into this website. LinkedIn is an Internet-based social network that enables users to connect with existing business contacts and establish new business contacts. Over 400 million registered users use LinkedIn in more than 200 countries. This makes LinkedIn currently the largest platform for business contacts and one of the most visited websites in the world.

LinkedIn is operated by LinkedIn Corporation, 2029 Stierlin Court Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. LinkedIn Ireland, Privacy Policy Issues, Wilton Plaza, Wilton Place, Dublin 2, Ireland, is responsible for data protection matters outside the USA.

Each time you visit our website that contains a LinkedIn component (LinkedIn plug-in), this component causes the browser used by the data subject to download a corresponding representation of the LinkedIn component. Further information about LinkedIn plug-ins can be found at https://developer.linkedin.com/plugins. As part of this technical process, LinkedIn receives information about which specific subpage of our website is visited by the data subject.

If the data subject is logged into LinkedIn at the same time, LinkedIn recognises which specific subpage of our website the data subject visits each time they access our website and for the entire duration of their visit to our website. This information is collected by the LinkedIn component and assigned by LinkedIn to the respective LinkedIn account of the data subject. If the data subject clicks on a LinkedIn button integrated into our website, LinkedIn assigns this information to the personal LinkedIn user account of the data subject and stores this personal data.

LinkedIn always receives information via the LinkedIn component that the data subject has visited our website if the data subject is logged into LinkedIn at the same time as visiting our website; this occurs regardless of whether the data subject clicks on the LinkedIn component or not. If the data subject does not want this information to be transferred to LinkedIn, they can prevent the transfer by logging out of their LinkedIn account before visiting our website.

LinkedIn offers the option to unsubscribe from email messages, SMS messages and targeted ads, as well as to manage ad settings, at https://www.linkedin.com/psettings/guest-controls. LinkedIn also uses partners such as Quantcast, Google Analytics, BlueKai, DoubleClick, Nielsen, Comscore, Eloqua and Lotame, which may set cookies. Such cookies can be rejected at https://www.linkedin.com/legal/cookie-policy. LinkedIn's applicable privacy policy is available at https://www.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy. LinkedIn's cookie policy is available at https://www.linkedin.com/legal/cookie-policy.

22. Data protection provisions for the use and application of Matomo

The controller has integrated the Matomo component into this website. Matomo is an open-source software tool for web analysis. Web analysis is the collection, gathering and evaluation of data about the behaviour of visitors to websites. A web analysis tool collects, among other things, data about which website a data subject came from (known as the referrer), which subpages of the website were accessed, how often and for how long a subpage was viewed. Web analysis is mainly used to optimise a website and to analyse the cost-benefit ratio of internet advertising.

The software is operated on the server of the controller, and the log files that are sensitive under data protection law are stored exclusively on this server.

The purpose of the Matomo component is to analyse visitor flows on our website. The controller uses the data and information obtained to evaluate the use of this website and to compile online reports showing the activities on our websites.

Matomo places a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. Cookies have already been explained above. The setting of the cookie enables us to analyse the use of our website. Each time one of the individual pages of this website is accessed, the internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject is automatically prompted by the Matomo component to transmit data to our server for the purpose of online analysis. As part of this technical process, we obtain personal data such as the IP address of the data subject, which we use, among other things, to track the origin of visitors and clicks.

The cookie stores personal information such as the time of access, the location from which access originated and the frequency of visits to our website. Each time you visit our website, this personal data, including the IP address of the Internet connection used by the data subject, is transmitted to our server. This personal data is stored by us. We do not pass this personal data on to third parties.

The data subject can prevent the setting of cookies by our website at any time, as described above, by means of a corresponding setting in the Internet browser used and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Such a setting of the Internet browser used would also prevent Matomo from setting a cookie on the data subject's information technology system. In addition, a cookie already set by Matomo can be deleted at any time via an Internet browser or other software programmes.

Furthermore, the data subject has the option of objecting to and preventing the collection of data generated by Matomo relating to the use of this website. To do this, the data subject must set ‘Do Not Track’ in their browser.

However, by setting the opt-out cookie, it is possible that the websites of the controller responsible for processing may no longer be fully usable for the data subject.

23. Data protection provisions for the use of Twitter

The controller has integrated components from Twitter on this website. Twitter is a multilingual, publicly accessible microblogging service on which users can publish and distribute so-called tweets, i.e. short messages limited to 280 characters. These short messages are accessible to everyone, including persons not registered with Twitter. However, the tweets are also displayed to the so-called followers of the respective user. Followers are other Twitter users who follow a user's tweets. Twitter also allows a broad audience to be addressed via hashtags, links or retweets.

The operating company of Twitter is Twitter, Inc., 1355 Market Street, Suite 900, San Francisco, CA 94103, USA.

Each time one of the individual pages of this website, which is operated by the controller and on which a Twitter component (Twitter button) has been integrated, is accessed, the Internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject is automatically prompted by the respective Twitter component to download a representation of the corresponding Twitter component from Twitter. Further information about Twitter buttons is available at https://about.twitter.com/de/resources/buttons. As part of this technical process, Twitter is informed of which specific subpage of our website is visited by the data subject. The purpose of integrating the Twitter component is to enable our users to share the content of this website, to make this website known in the digital world and to increase our visitor numbers.

If the data subject is logged into Twitter at the same time, Twitter recognises which specific subpage of our website the data subject is visiting each time they access our website and for the entire duration of their visit to our website. This information is collected by the Twitter component and assigned by Twitter to the data subject's Twitter account. If the data subject clicks on one of the Twitter buttons integrated into our website, the data and information transmitted will be assigned to the personal Twitter user account of the data subject and stored and processed by Twitter.

25. Data protection provisions for the use of YouTube

The controller has integrated components from YouTube on this website. YouTube is an Internet video portal that allows video publishers to post video clips free of charge and other users to view, rate and comment on them free of charge. YouTube allows the publication of all types of videos, which is why complete films and television programmes, as well as music videos, trailers or videos created by users themselves, can be accessed via the Internet portal.

YouTube is operated by YouTube, LLC, 901 Cherry Ave., San Bruno, CA 94066, USA. YouTube, LLC is a subsidiary of Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA.

Each time one of the individual pages of this website, which is operated by the controller and on which a YouTube component (YouTube video) has been integrated, is accessed, the Internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject is automatically prompted by the respective YouTube component to download a representation of the respective YouTube component from YouTube.

26. Privacy policy on the use of DoubleClick

The controller has integrated components from DoubleClick by Google on this website. DoubleClick is a brand of Google, under which special online marketing solutions are primarily marketed to advertising agencies and publishers.

The operating company of DoubleClick by Google is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA.

DoubleClick by Google transfers data to the DoubleClick server with every impression, click or other activity. Each of these data transfers triggers a cookie request to the browser of the person concerned. If the browser accepts this request, DoubleClick sets a cookie on the information technology system of the person concerned. What cookies are has already been explained above. The purpose of the cookie is to optimise and display advertising. Among other things, the cookie is used to place and display advertisements relevant to the user and to create or improve reports on advertising campaigns. The cookie also serves to prevent the same advertisement from being displayed multiple times.

DoubleClick uses a cookie ID that is necessary for the technical process. The cookie ID is required, for example, to display an advertisement in a browser. DoubleClick can also use the cookie ID to record which advertisements have already been displayed in a browser in order to avoid duplicate displays. Furthermore, the cookie ID enables DoubleClick to record conversions. Conversions are recorded, for example, when a user has previously been shown a DoubleClick advertisement and subsequently makes a purchase on the advertiser's website using the same Internet browser.

A DoubleClick cookie does not contain any personal data. However, a DoubleClick cookie may contain additional campaign identifiers. A campaign identifier is used to identify campaigns with which the user has already been in contact.

Each time one of the individual pages of this website operated by the controller and on which a DoubleClick component has been integrated is accessed, the Internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject is automatically prompted by the respective DoubleClick component to transmit data to Google for the purpose of online advertising and commission settlement. As part of this technical process, Google obtains data that Google also uses to generate commission statements. Among other things, Google can track that the data subject has clicked certain links on our website.

The data subject can prevent the setting of cookies by our website at any time, as described above, by means of a corresponding setting in the Internet browser used and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Such a setting of the Internet browser used would also prevent Google from setting a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. In addition, cookies already set by Google can be deleted at any time via an Internet browser or other software programmes.

Further information and the applicable data protection provisions of DoubleClick by Google can be found at https://www.google.com/intl/de/policies/.

27. Payment method: Data protection provisions for PayPal as a payment method

The controller has integrated components of PayPal on this website. PayPal is an online payment service provider. Payments are processed via so-called PayPal accounts, which represent virtual private or business accounts. PayPal also offers the option of processing virtual payments via credit cards if a user does not have a PayPal account. A PayPal account is managed via an email address, which is why there is no traditional account number. PayPal enables online payments to be made to third parties or payments to be received. PayPal also performs trustee functions and offers buyer protection services.

The European operating company of PayPal is PayPal (Europe) S.à.r.l. & Cie. S.C.A., 22-24 Boulevard Royal, 2449 Luxembourg, Luxembourg.

If the data subject selects ‘PayPal’ as the payment option during the ordering process in our online shop, data relating to the data subject will be automatically transmitted to PayPal. By selecting this payment option, the data subject consents to the transfer of personal data required for payment processing.

The personal data transmitted to PayPal usually includes first name, last name, address, email address, IP address, telephone number, mobile phone number or other data necessary for payment processing. Personal data related to the respective order is also necessary for the execution of the purchase contract.

The purpose of the transfer of data is to process payments and prevent fraud. The controller will transfer personal data to PayPal in particular if there is a legitimate interest in the transfer. The personal data exchanged between PayPal and the controller may be transferred by PayPal to credit agencies. The purpose of this transfer is to verify identity and creditworthiness.

PayPal may pass on personal data to affiliated companies and service providers or subcontractors if this is necessary to fulfil contractual obligations or if the data is to be processed on behalf of PayPal.

The data subject has the option of revoking their consent to the processing of personal data at any time vis-à-vis PayPal. A revocation does not affect personal data that must be processed, used or transferred for the purpose of (contractual) payment processing.

PayPal's applicable data protection provisions can be accessed at https://www.paypal.com/de/webapps/mpp/ua/privacy-full.

28. Legal basis for processing

Art. 6 I lit. a GDPR serves as the legal basis for our company for processing operations in which we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose. If the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party, as is the case, for example, with processing operations necessary for the delivery of goods or the provision of other services or consideration, the processing is based on Art. 6 I lit. b GDPR. The same applies to processing operations that are necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures, for example in cases of enquiries about our products or services. If our company is subject to a legal obligation that requires the processing of personal data, such as for the fulfilment of tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6 I lit. c GDPR. In rare cases, the processing of personal data may be necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor were injured in our company and his name, age, health insurance details or other vital information had to be passed on to a doctor, hospital or other third parties. In this case, the processing would be based on Art. 6 I lit. d GDPR. Ultimately, processing operations could be based on Art. 6 I lit. f GDPR. Processing operations that are not covered by any of the above legal bases are based on this legal basis if the processing is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest of our company or a third party, provided that the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not prevail. We are permitted to carry out such processing operations in particular because they have been specifically mentioned by the European legislator. In this regard, it took the view that a legitimate interest could be assumed if the data subject is a customer of the controller (Recital 47, sentence 2 GDPR).

29. Legitimate interests in processing pursued by the controller or a third party

If the processing of personal data is based on Article 6 I lit. f GDPR, our legitimate interest is the performance of our business activities for the benefit of all our employees and our shareholders.

30. Duration for which the personal data will be stored

The criterion for the duration of the storage of personal data is the respective statutory retention period. After expiry of this period, the corresponding data will be routinely deleted unless it is no longer required for the fulfilment of the contract or for the initiation of a contract.

31. Legal or contractual requirements for the provision of personal data; necessity for the conclusion of the contract; obligation of the data subject to provide the personal data; possible consequences of non-provision

We hereby inform you that the provision of personal data is partly required by law (e.g. tax regulations) or may also result from contractual provisions (e.g. information on the contractual partner). In some cases, it may be necessary for a data subject to provide us with personal data that we must subsequently process in order to conclude a contract. For example, the data subject is obliged to provide us with personal data if our company concludes a contract with them. Failure to provide the personal data would mean that the contract with the data subject could not be concluded. Before providing personal data, the data subject must contact one of our employees. Our employee will inform the data subject on a case-by-case basis whether the provision of personal data is required by law or contract or is necessary for the conclusion of the contract, whether there is an obligation to provide the personal data and what consequences the non-provision of personal data would have.

32. Existence of automated decision-making

As a responsible company, we refrain from automatic decision-making or profiling.

This privacy policy was created by the privacy policy generator of DGD Deutsche Gesellschaft für Datenschutz GmbH, which acts as an external data protection officer in Frankfurt am Main, in cooperation with the Cologne data protection lawyer Christian Solmecke. Thank you very much! It saved us a lot of time.
