This data protection declaration provides an overview of the type, scope and purposes of processing
personal data when visiting our website. Personal data is all information
with which you can be personally identified, including your IP address.

Furthermore, this data protection declaration contains general information in another section

The terms used in this declaration are based on the definitions in Art. 4 of the
EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

 

Google Tag Manager

We use the service Google Tag Manager on our website. This service is provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon
House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (“Google”).

ATTENTION: Within the scope of this service, data transfer to the USA takes place or cannot be ruled
out.

When the Tag Manager is started, your browser establishes a connection to Google’s servers. This informs Google
that our website has been accessed via your IP address.

Google Tag Manager is used to manage website tags via an interface. This enables us to embed code snippets such
as tracking codes or conversion pixels into our website without interfering with the source code. In this
process, Tag Manager data is only transferred; it is not collected or stored. The Tag Manager itself is a
cookie-less domain and does not process any personal data, because it is used solely to manage other services
used on our website. The Tag Manager triggers other tags which in turn collect data under specific
circumstances. However, the Tag Manager has no access to this data. If you have chosen to deactivate cookies on
our site in general or to deactivate specific cookies, this will remain in effect for all tracking tags that are
implemented using the Tag Manager.

In the process of hosting our website, we store all data related to the operation of our website. This is
necessary for enabling operation of our website. Therefore, we process this data on the legal grounds of our
legitimate interest in optimising our website as described under Art. 6 paragraph 1 lit. f of the GDPR. To
provide access to our website, we use the services of web hosting providers, to whom we supply the
aforementioned data within the context of contractual processing in accordance with art. 28 of the GDPR.

Hotjar

Our website uses the service Hotjar. Hotjar is a web analytics service provided by Hotjar Ltd., Level 2, St
Julians Business Centre, 3, Elia Zammit Street, St Julians STJ 1000, Malta (‘Hotjar’).

We use Hotjar in order to better understand our users’ needs and to optimize this service and experience. Hotjar
is a technology service that helps us better understand our users’ experience (e.g. how much time they spend on
which pages, which links they choose to click, what users do and don’t like, etc.) and this enables us to build
and maintain our service with user feedback. Hotjar uses cookies and other technologies to collect data on our
users’ behavior and their devices. This includes a device’s IP address (processed during your session and stored
in a de-identified form), device screen size, device type (unique device identifiers), browser information,
geographic location (country only), and the preferred language used to display our website. Hotjar stores this
information on our behalf in a pseudonymized user profile. Hotjar is contractually forbidden to sell any of the
data collected on our behalf.

Jetpack

The Jetpack plugin (in particular the “WordPress Stats” sub-function) is used on our website for the purpose of
analyzing, optimizing and economically operating our online presence. This plugin is a tool from Automattic
Inc., 60 29th Street #343, San Francisco, CA 94110, USA (“Automattic”) for statistical evaluation of visitor
access. Jetpack uses “cookies”, which are text files placed on your computer, to help the website analyze how
users use the site.

ATTENTION: Within the scope of this service, data is transferred to the US or such a transfer cannot be
excluded.

The processed data can be used to create user profiles, which are only used for analysis and not for advertising
purposes. During processing, your IP address, our website that you visit, the website from which you switched to
our website (referrer URL), your length of stay on our website and the frequency with which you visit our
website are recorded. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this online service is stored on
a server in the USA. However, your IP address will be anonymized immediately after processing and before it is
stored. Further information can be found in Automattic’s privacy policy: https://automattic.com/privacy/ and information
on Jetpack cookies: https://jetpack.com/support/cookies/.

The processing of your data is based on your consent in accordance with Art. 6 paragraph 1 lit. a GDPR. You can
revoke this consent at any time with effect for the future.

Contact

Whenever you contact us, your information is used to process and handle your contact request in the course of
fulfilling pre-contractual rights and obligations in accordance with Art. 6 paragraph 1 lit. b of the GDPR. To
handle and answer your request it is necessary for us to process your data; otherwise we are unable to answer
your request or only able to partially answer it. Your information can be stored in a database of customers and
leads on the grounds of our legitimate interest in direct marketing as described in Art. 6 paragraph 1 lit. f of
the GDPR.

We delete your request and contact information when your request has been definitively answered and there is no
legally required time limit for storing this data prior to deletion (e.g. pursuant to a subsequent contractual
relationship). This is usually the case when there is no further contact with you for three years in a row.

Also, for security reasons and to protect this website from spam, your data is processed in the CleanTalk Cloud Service and stored in log files for 7 days by default. After the specified period, they will be completely deleted. CleanTalk may use IP/Email address spam activity information to provide appropriate anti-spam protection to all websites connected to its service. It only affects those IP/email addresses that are used for sending spam.

Server Log Files

For technical reasons, particularly to ensure a functioning and secure website, we process the technically
necessary data about accesses to our website in so-called server log files which your browser automatically
sends to us.

The access data we process includes:

• The name of the website you are accessing
• The browser type (including version) you use
• The operating system you use
• The site you visited before  accessing our site (referrer URL)
• The time of your server request
• The amount of data transferred
• The host name of computer (IP address) you are using to access the site

This data cannot be traced back to any natural person and is used solely to perform statistical analyses and to
operate and improve our website while also optimising our site and keeping it secure. This data is sent
exclusively to our website operator. The data is neither connected nor aggregated with other data sources. In
case of suspicion of unlawful use of our website, we reserve the right to examine the data retroactively. This
data processing takes place on the legal grounds of our legitimate interest in maintaining a technically
fault-free and optimal website, as described under Art. 6 paragraph 1 lit. f of the GDPR.

The access data is deleted within a short period of time after serving its purpose (usually within a few days)
unless further storage is required for evidence purposes. In such cases, the data is stored until the incident
is definitively resolved.

Social Networks

We take the current discussion about data protection in social networks very seriously, as we ourselves operate
appearances in social networks in order to inform the active users there about our range of services. The
specific social media we use for this purpose are represented on our website by logos. In this regard, we would
like to point out that, on the basis of current case law, we have a joint controllership within the meaning of
Art 26 GDPR with the respective operator of the social network. We have taken the necessary precautions for this
as far as the provider has made this possible for us. The primary responsibility according to GDPR for the
processing of personal data in the respective social network lies with the respective provider of the social
network. In the case of the assertion of rights of persons affected, we state that these are best asserted with
the social networks themselves. We as operators do not make any decisions regarding the processing of data in
the social network. Only the respective provider has access to the data of the users and can therefore only take
direct measures.

User data can be processed in social networks for advertising and market research purposes. Among other things,
users can create their own user profiles based on their various interests. The user profiles can then be used,
for example, to place targeted advertisements within and outside the social media. For these purposes, cookies
are also used by the social medium in which the user behaviour and interests of the users are stored.
Furthermore, these user profiles may also contain data on the users as members of the respective social media,
provided that they are logged in to these.

For a detailed description of the respective processing operations and the possibilities for objection or
revocation, please refer to the data protection declaration of the respective social network.

corporate rules (Art. 44 – 49 GDPR).

Security measures

In accordance with Art 32 GDPR, we take appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure a level of
protection appropriate to the risk, taking into account the state of the art, the implementation costs and the
