What data is collected on our website?

Server log files / collection of general information when visiting our website

When you access our website, information of a general nature is automatically collected by means of a cookie. This information (server log files) includes, for example, the type of web browser (e.g. Firefox, Chrome, Safari, Edge, Internet Explorer, Opera), the operating system used, the domain name of your Internet service provider and the like. This is exclusively information that does not allow any conclusions to be drawn about your person.

The internet provider of these pages therefore automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. These are:

– browser type and browser version

– operating system used

– referrer URL

– host name of the accessing computer

– time of the server request

– IP address.

This data cannot be assigned to specific persons. A combination of this data with other data sources is not made. We reserve the right to check this data retrospectively if we become aware of concrete indications of illegal use. This information is technically necessary in order to correctly deliver the website content requested by you and is mandatory when using the internet. In particular, it is processed for the following purposes:

– ensuring a smooth connection setup of the website,

– ensuring the smooth use of our website,

– evaluating system security and stability, and

– for other administrative purposes.

The processing of your personal data is based on our legitimate interest from the aforementioned data collection purposes. We do not use your data to draw conclusions about your person. Recipients of the data are only the responsible body and, if applicable, order processors. Anonymous information of this kind may be statistically evaluated by us in order to optimize our website and the technology behind it.

In addition, we also use temporary cookies to optimize user-friendliness, which are stored on your device for a certain fixed period of time. If you visit our website again, it is automatically recognized that you have already been with us and which entries and settings you have made so that you do not have to enter them again.

On the other hand, we use cookies to statistically record the use of our website and to evaluate it by means of tracking tools for the purpose of optimizing our offer for you.

We maintain online presences within social networks and platforms in order to be able to communicate with the customers, interested parties and users active there and to inform them about our services there. When calling up the respective networks and platforms, the terms and conditions and data processing policies of their respective operators apply. 

Unless otherwise stated in our Privacy Policy, we process the data of users if they communicate with us within the social networks and platforms, e.g. write posts on our online presences or send us messages.

LinkedIn

Our website uses functions of the LinkedIn network. The provider is LinkedIn Corporation, 2029 Stierlin Court, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.

Each time one of our pages containing LinkedIn functions is accessed, a connection to LinkedIn servers is established. LinkedIn is informed that you have visited our website with your IP address. If you click the “Recommend button” of LinkedIn and are logged into your account at LinkedIn, it is possible for LinkedIn to assign your visit to our website to you and your user account. We would like to point out that we, as the provider of the pages, have no knowledge of the content of the transmitted data or its use by LinkedIn.

Youtube

We implement on our internet pages (videos) of the video portal “YouTube” of the company Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (hereinafter: “Google”). The implementation is based on Art. 6 para. 1  lit. f DSGVO, whereby our interest lies in the smooth integration of the videos and the thus appealing design of our website. When you call up a page that has an embedded video, a connection is established to Google’s servers and in the process the content is displayed on the website by notifying your browser. Your data – in particular which pages you have visited as well as device-specific information including the IP address – is only transmitted to the YouTube server in the USA when you watch the video. By clicking on the video, you consent to this transmission. In some cases, information is transmitted to the parent company Google Inc. based in the USA, to other Google companies and to external partners of Google, each of which may be located outside the European Union. Google uses standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission for this purpose and relies on adequacy decisions issued by the European Commission regarding certain countries.

Google Analytics 

We have integrated the Google Analytics component (with anonymization function) of Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, 94043 Mountain View, USA, on our website.

Google Analytics is a web analysis service. Web analysis is the collection, compilation and evaluation of data about the behavior of visitors to other websites. Among other things, a web analysis service collects data on which website a data subject came to a website from (so-called referrers), which sub-pages of the website were accessed or how often and for how long a sub-page was viewed.

The purpose of the Google Analytics component is to analyze the flow of visitors to our website. Google uses the data and information obtained, among other things, to evaluate the use of our website, to compile online reports for us showing the activities on our website, and to provide other services related to the use of our website.

Google Analytics sets a cookie in your system. Each time you call up one of the individual pages of our website on which a Google Analytics component has been integrated, your internet browser is automatically prompted by the respective Google Analytics component to transmit data to Google for the purpose of online analysis. As part of this technical procedure, Google obtains knowledge of personal data, such as your IP address, in order to trace the origin of visitors and clicks. By means of the cookie, personal information, such as the time of access, the place from which an access originated and the frequency of visits to our website by you, is stored. Each time you visit our website, this personal data, including the IP address used by you, is sent to Google in the USA. Google may pass on this personal data collected via the technical process to third parties.

You can prevent the setting of cookies at any time by means of an appropriate setting of the internet browser used and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies.
