When employing processors, we only disclose the personal data of our customers on the basis of a valid contract for order processing. In the case of joint processing, a joint processing agreement is concluded.

The right to lodge a complaint exists without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedies.

Right to Data Portability

You have the right to receive data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfillment of a contract, handed over to yourself or to a third party in a standard, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of data to another controller, this will only be carried out to the extent that it is technically feasible.

If you contest the accuracy of your personal data stored with us, we generally require time to verify this. For the duration of the audit, you have the right to request the restriction of processing your personal data.
If the processing of your personal data was or is carried out unlawfully, you may request the restriction of data processing instead of deletion.
If we no longer require your personal data, but you need it to exercise, defend, or assert legal claims, you have the right to request the restriction of processing your personal data instead of deletion.
If you have lodged an objection pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR, a balancing of your and our interests must be performed. As long as it is undetermined whose interests prevail, you have the right to request the restriction of processing your personal data.

If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, this data – with the exception of its storage – may only be processed with your consent, or for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims, or to protect the rights of another natural or legal person, or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or a Member State.

SSL or TLS Encryption

For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or inquiries that you send to us as the site operator, this site utilizes SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from "http://" to "https://" and by the lock icon appearing in your browser bar.

If SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be intercepted or read by third parties.

Objection to Promotional Emails

The use of contact data published within the scope of mandatory legal notices (Imprint) for the purpose of sending unsolicited advertising and informational materials is hereby explicitly rejected. The operators of these pages expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of the unsolicited sending of promotional information, such as spam emails.

For communication with our customers, we utilize online conference tools among other methods. The specific tools we use are listed below. If you communicate with us via video or audio conference over the Internet, your personal data will be collected and processed by us and the provider of the respective conference tool.

The conference tools collect all data that you provide or deploy to use the tools (email address and/or your telephone number). Furthermore, the conference tools process the duration of the conference, start and end times of participation, number of participants, and other "contextual information" related to the communication process (metadata).

In addition, the provider of the tool processes all technical data required to facilitate online communication. This includes, in particular, IP addresses, MAC addresses, device IDs, device type, operating system type and version, client version, camera type, microphone or speaker specifications, and the connection type.

Such content includes, but is not limited to, cloud recordings, chat/instant messages, voicemails, uploaded photos and videos, files, whiteboards, and other information shared while using the service.

Please note that we do not possess full influence over the data processing operations of the tools used. Our options are largely dictated by the corporate policy of the respective provider. Further guidance regarding data processing by the conference tools can be found in the privacy policies of the respective tools deployed, which we have listed below this text.

Purpose and Legal Bases

The conference tools are used to communicate with prospective or existing contractual partners or to offer specific services to our clients (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR). Furthermore, the use of these tools serves the general simplification and acceleration of communication with us and our company (legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). Insofar as consent has been requested, the relevant tools are deployed based on that consent; the consent can be revoked at any time with future effect.

If you send us inquiries via the contact form, your data from the inquiry form, including the contact details provided by you there, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the request and in the event of follow-up queries. We do not share this data without your explicit consent.

The processing of this data is based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR, provided that your inquiry is connected to the fulfillment of a contract or is required to conduct pre-contractual measures.

Newsletter Data

If you wish to subscribe to the newsletter offered on this website, we require an email address from you as well as information that permits us to verify that you are the actual owner of the provided email address and agree to receive the newsletter. Additional data is not collected, or is only collected on a voluntary basis. We utilize this data exclusively for sending the requested information and do not pass it on to third parties.

6. Appointment booking, fonts, and reach measurement

Calendly

We use Calendly (Calendly LLC, 271 17th St NW, Atlanta, GA 30363, USA) for booking consultation calls. Clicking a booking button takes you to a Calendly page, where Calendly processes the data you enter (name, email address, preferred slot) as well as technical access data. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(b) and (f) GDPR (initiating and carrying out the consultation). Transfer to the USA is based on the Standard Contractual Clauses. Details: calendly.com/privacy.

If you reach our site through a campaign link, the UTM parameters it contains are stored in your browser's session storage for the duration of your visit and passed on to the booking page so we can see which channel an inquiry came from. No cookies are set for this, and the data is deleted when you close the browser tab.

Automatic language selection

On your first visit, a small script reads the language configured in your browser (navigator.languages) and forwards you to the German version of this site if that language is German. No location lookup takes place and your IP address is not sent to any third party. If you pick a language yourself using the EN/DE switch, that choice is noted in session storage for the duration of your visit so the automatic redirect does not override it. No cookies are set for this.

Fonts

This website does not embed any external font service. All fonts are served locally from our own server, so no connection to Google servers is established.

LinkedIn Insight Tag

Only if you choose "Accept all" in the cookie banner do we load the LinkedIn Insight Tag of LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company, Wilton Plaza, Wilton Place, Dublin 2, Ireland. The Insight Tag sets a cookie and allows statistics about the use of our website as well as measuring the success of our LinkedIn campaigns. The legal basis is your consent under Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25(1) TDDDG. Without your consent, no connection to LinkedIn servers is made. You can withdraw your consent at any time by clearing this site's stored data in your browser. Details: linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy.
