Your personal data will not be disclosed to third parties without your express consent, unless it is for the purposes of contract processing or for billing purposes, in compliance with § 11 GDPR for processing which does not require identification. A passing on to information-entitled state institutions and authorities takes place only in the context of compelling legal regulations and/or if we are obligated by court order to it. We do not sell your personal data to third parties

Categories of recipients

External service providers or other contractors provided the Data Subject has granted their consent or the transmission of the data is permitted by other prevailing interest. These are companies in the categories of cooperation partners, registration and visa authorities, IT services, financial administration, tax consultants and auditors as well as other fee offices and payment service providers. Data will only be transferred to third parties if the data subject has given his consent or if a transfer is necessary for order processing and is permissible for reasons of overriding interest.

Data subject rights



Conditions for consent (Art. 7, §3 GDPR)

Right to object (Art. 21 GDPR)

If we process your data on the basis of a legitimate interest (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR), you have the right to object to this if the reasons for this arise from your particular situation. This also applies to profiling based on these provisions. In this case, we will no longer process your data unless we can prove compelling reasons worthy of protection for the processing.

After your objection, your data will no longer be processed for these purposes. If you wish to object, simply send an informal message to the contact details listed above.

Privacy policy for your visit at our website

​Thank you for visiting our website and expressing an interest in our company and our services. Data protection is based on trust and your trust is important to us. We are committed to respecting your privacy. We therefore attach great importance to the protection of your personal data and ensuring that it is collected, processed and used in line with legal provisions.

In order to ensure you feel secure visiting our website, we are careful to ensure strict adherence to statutory provisions when we process your personal data and would like to explain how we collect and use your personal data. We will also explain how we collect and use non-personal but relevant usage data.

We would like to expressly point out that the transmission of data via the Internet (e.g., by e-mail) can offer security vulnerabilities. It is therefore impossible to safeguard the data completely against access by third parties. We cannot assume any liability for damages arising as a result of such security vulnerabilities. The use by third parties of all published contact details for the purpose of advertising is expressly excluded. We reserve the right to take legal steps in the case of the unsolicited sending of advertising information; e.g., by means of spam mail.

We have instructed and bound our employees to keep your information confidential, pursuant to the privacy protection provisions under the GDPR and BDSG.

We would like to point out that data transmission over the Internet (e.g. communication by e-mail) can be subject to security vulnerabilities. A complete protection of the data against access by third parties is not possible.

Provision of the website and creation of log files

You can visit our website without entering any other personal data or otherwise transmitting any personal data except for your IP address. If you disclose personal data to us yourself, only then will we collect and save it throughout your visit to the pages of our website.

When you visit our website, the browser on your device automatically sends information – so called usage data – to the server on our website. This information is temporarily stored in a so-called log file. The following information is recorded without your intervention and stored until it is automatically deleted:

The mentioned data will be processed by us for the following purposes:

If we collect personal data (e.g. name, company, position, e-mail addresses, telephone numbers), this is done on a voluntary basis. The data will be processed for the purpose of contacting us in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a DSGVO on the basis of your voluntary consent. Under no circumstances do we use the collected data for the purpose of drawing conclusions about your person.

The data will be stored until it is necessary to achieve the purpose for which it was collected. If data is required to make the website available, it is not required once the respective session has ended. Your data will then be deleted automatically. If the data is stored in log files, this is the case after seven days at the latest. If the aforementioned data is further stored, your IP address will be deleted or alienated in this case, so that it is no longer possible to assign the calling Internet connection.

The collection of data for the provision of the website and the storage of data in log files is mandatory for the operation of the website.

Further personal data is only stored by us when you use our website if you provide it to us yourself, e.g. via our contact form or an e-mail sent to us by you. We do not collect any personal data via our websites without your consent. An exception is the IP address of the requesting computer (see above).

Contact form

If you send us inquiries using the contact form, your details from the inquiry form, including the contact details you provided there, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the inquiry and in the event of follow-up questions. We will not pass on this data without your consent.

The processing of the data entered in the contact form takes place exclusively on the basis of your consent (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR). You can withdraw this consent at any time. All you need to do is send an informal email to us. The legality of the data processing operations carried out before the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

The data you enter in the contact form will remain with us until you request deletion, revoke your consent to storage or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g. after your request has been processed). Mandatory legal provisions – especially retention periods – remain unaffected.

Cookies

Our Website uses cookies, which are small files sent by a Web server to your computer and often maintained on your hard drive. These are not programs that can damage your machine; they simply enable us to recognize your browser when you revisit our site. No personal information is stored in a cookie nor can such information be used to identify you.

Unless different deletion periods are stated in the following declarations, the following applies to the storage period in summary, irrespective of the type and purpose of the cookies:

You may disable cookies in your browser; for more details please refer to the help function of your browser.

You have full control over the use of cookies. These are stored on your computer and the data are transmitted from this to our site. Most browsers are set by default to accept cookies but changing your browser settings may disable or restrict the transmission of cookies. Cookies that have already been saved can be deleted at any time. This can also be done automatically by setting your browser accordingly. For more information, please refer to the help function of your Internet browser. However, please note that some of our Website features or services may not function properly without cookies.

Cookies for the analysis of surfing behaviour

We also use cookies on our website which enable us to analyze your surfing behavior. The data collected in this context is pseudonymized by technical precautions. The data can then no longer be assigned to you. This data is not stored together with your other personal data.

The analysis cookies are used for the purpose of improving the quality of our website and its contents. The analysis cookies tell us how the website is used and enable us to continually optimize our services. Our legitimate interest in the processing of personal data pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR also lies in these purposes. If you object to the use of these cookies or configure your browser accordingly, this will not have any disadvantages for you. All functions of the website are still available.

We use the following service on our website, which are based on analysis cookies:

Google Analytics

Our Website uses Google Analytics, a Web analysis service of Google Inc. (aka “Google”, https://www.google.de/intl/de/about/) , 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA, which uses cookies that are small files maintained on your computer for analyzing your visit.

The information collected by the cookie about your visit to this Website (including browser type/ version, operating system, referrer URL, IP address) is transmitted to and kept on a Google server located in the United States of America. This Website uses the “_anonymizeIp()” extension from Google to anonymize or use short form IP addresses of user’s within the European Member States or in other treaty countries within the European Economic Union. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transmitted to Google servers in the US and then shortened. Such a short form IP address precludes the possibility of identifying the person visiting the site. Google uses this information to analyze usage of the Website by you and generate reports of your Web activities under contract to the Website provider. These reports allow the provider to improve the quality of its online service and your experience. Google never correlates your IP address obtained via Google Analytics with other data obtained by Google.

You may reset your browser to refuse cookies. However, please note that some of our Website features or services may not function properly without cookies. Moreover, you may download and install the following plug-in through your browser https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en to prevent collection of any information by a cookie, transmission of data on your usage of the Website (including your IP address) to Google, and any subsequent processing of such information by Google. If you delete cookies after surfing the Internet, you must reset the opt-out cookie.

Google Tag Manager

This website uses Google Tag Manager. This service allows website tags to be managed via an interface. Google Tag Manager only implements tags. This means that no cookies are set and no personal data is recorded. Google Tag Manager triggers other tags which, in turn, may record data. However, Google Tag Manager does not access this data. If tags have been disabled at the domain or cookie level, this remains in place for all tracking tags if these are implemented with Google Tag Manager. You can find out more about Google Tag Manager by clicking the following link: http://www.google.de/tagmanager/use-policy.html

This site may contain links to other Websites not under our direction or control. We carefully checked the target sites of these links before setting them up, but the respective provider may have subsequently changed the content therein. This privacy statement applies only to our Website, and we are not responsible for the content of the linked sites or how these sites handle personal information. You should always review the privacy representations of other providers when you visit their Websites, and/or contact them for more information.

YouTube

YouTube videos operated by YouTube LLC, 901 Cherry Ave, San Bruno, CA 94066 – represented by Google Inc. – are used on this website.

If you wish to prevent data transmission to your YouTube account, you must log out of your YouTube account before clicking on the YouTube video.
