2. Data collection
on our website
Cookies
Some of our web pages use cookies. Cookies do not harm your computer and do not contain any viruses.
Cookies help make our website more user-friendly, efficient, and secure. Cookies are small text files
that are stored on your computer and saved by your browser.
Most of the cookies we use are so-called "session cookies." They are automatically deleted after your
visit. Other cookies remain in your device's memory until you delete them. These cookies make it
possible to recognize your browser when you next visit the site.
You can configure your browser to inform you about the use of cookies so that you can decide on a
case-by-case basis whether to accept or reject a cookie. Alternatively, your browser can be configured
to automatically accept cookies under certain conditions or to always reject them, or to automatically
delete cookies when closing your browser. Disabling cookies may limit the functionality of this
website.
Cookies which are necessary to allow electronic communications or to provide certain functions you wish
to use (such as the shopping cart) are stored pursuant to Art. 6 paragraph 1, letter f of DSGVO. The
website operator has a legitimate interest in the storage of cookies to ensure an optimized service
provided free of technical errors. If other cookies (such as those used to analyze your surfing
behavior) are also stored, they will be treated separately in this privacy policy.
Server log
files
The website provider automatically collects and stores information that your browser automatically
transmits to us in "server log files". 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
These data will not be combined with data from other sources.
The basis for data processing is Art. 6 (1) (f) DSGVO, which allows the processing of data to fulfill a
contract or for measures preliminary to a contract.
Contact form
Should you send us questions via the contact form, we will collect the data entered on the form,
including the contact details you provide, to answer your question and any follow-up questions. We do
not share this information without your permission.
We will, therefore, process any data you enter onto the contact form only with your consent per Art. 6
(1)(a) DSGVO. You may revoke your consent at any time. An informal email making this request is
sufficient. The data processed before we receive your request may still be legally processed.
We will retain the data you provide on the contact form until you request its deletion, revoke your
consent for its storage, or the purpose for its storage no longer pertains (e.g. after fulfilling your
request). Any mandatory statutory provisions, especially those regarding mandatory data retention
periods, remain unaffected by this provision.
3. Third Party Services
Surveymonkey
To carry out registration on our website, we use SurveyMonkey Europe UC, 2 Shelbourne Buildings,
Shelbourne Road, Dublin, Ireland. In this respect, you will be forwarded to our SurveyMonkey page.
SurveyMonkey collects information about the device and application you use for registration. This
includes the IP address, the version of your operating system, the type of device, as well as
information about system and performance and the type of browser. When you participate through a mobile
device, SurveyMonkey also captures the device's UUID. SurveyMonkey also uses third-party tracking
services, which in turn include cookies and page tags (also known as web beacons), to collect usage data
and user statistics. We have no control over the amount of data collected by SurveyMonkey. For more
information on the cookies used by SurveyMonkey, data protection and storage time, see the link
below
https://www.surveymonkey.de/mp/legal/.
You can prevent the installation of cookies by deleting existing cookies and disabling cookies in the
settings of your web browser. We would like to point out that in this case, you may not be able to use
all the features of our website to the full.
We use SurveyMonkey to provide you with the registration feature. In this sense, our legitimate interest
in the processing of the said data is also due to Article 6 (1) lit. f) GDPR.
SurveyMonkey Europe UC is a subsidiary of SurveyMonkey Inc., headquartered in the United States. It is
not out of the question that your data collected by SurveyMonkey will also be transferred to the United
States. However, SurveyMonkey Inc. has submitted to and certifies the Privacy Shield Agreement concluded
between the European Union and the United States. SurveyMonkey is therefore committed to complying with
the standards and regulations of European Data Protection Law.
More information on the EU Privacy Shield and its validity can be found here: https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt0000000Gn7zAAC&status=Active.
GoTo Webinar
We offer webinars and use the software solution "GoToWebinar" from the webinar technology provider
LogMeIn, Inc. The webinar invitations, planning, performing and moderating is executed through the
GoToWebinar website and/or the client software. In this respect, they take place
computer-/software-supported via an encrypted connection on the Internet. You can participate in one of
our "Live Webinars" if you have registered for it before.
The following data is required and requested during the registration process to enable you participating
in the webinar as well as to follow-up on your questions during and after the webinar: name, first name,
e-mail address. Confirming the registration by clicking the appropriate button, the data will be
provided to us for the following use:
You will receive a personalized registration confirmation, reminders to the webinar and possible date
changes via the e-mail address provided. You can easily cancel or cancel your registration for the
webinar itself as well as this service in any mail by clicking on the corresponding links at the bottom
of the mail.
The legal basis for the processing of your data in conjunction with the webinar also via the platform
"GoToWebinar" is Art. 6Abs. 1 lit. b) DSGVO. In case no contract has been concluded with you for
participation in a webinar, Article 6 Abs. 1 lit. f) DSGVO provides the necessary legal basis, whereby
the legitimate interest is then based on performing the webinar. In addition to performing webinars, it
also includes the follow-up of statistical participation data for further customer support or the
expansion of the user experience. This means that statistics data is collected and stored during and
after the webinar is performed.
The processing of your data via the platform of the service provider and processor LogMeIn, Inc. (as our
processor) is based on Art. 28 DSGBO. The data will be processed in Germany, the European Union and the
USA within the legal scope of the law. An adequate level of data protection is guaranteed by various
measures:
1. LogMeIn, Inc. is certified under the Privacy Shield (verifiable here)).
2. We have been concluded a contract on order data
processing with LogMeIn, Inc. based on the EU standard contractual clauses.
Please also refer to the privacy information of LogMeIn, Inc.
By registering for a webinar, you will transmit your details to us for the purpose of participation at
and performing the webinar in general as well as execution follow-up activities afterwards. We only use
the data for purposes other than the aforementioned purposes or transfer it to other third parties, if
this is permitted by law or if the user has explicitly agreed on it. In addition, our other data
protection notices apply.
