Privacy Policy

We are very pleased with your interest in our company. Data protection is of particular importance to the management of FoxBase GmbH. The use of the FoxBase GmbH's website is generally possible without any personal data. However, if a data subject wishes to use special services of our company via our website, processing of personal data could become necessary. If the processing of personal data is necessary and there is no legal basis for such processing, we generally obtain consent from the data subject.


The processing of personal data, such as the name, address, email address, or telephone number of a data subject, is always in line with the General Data Protection Regulation and in accordance with the country-specific data protection regulations applicable to FoxBase GmbH. With this data protection declaration, our company aims to inform the public about the nature, scope, and purpose of the personal data we collect, use, and process. Furthermore, data subjects are informed of their rights through this data protection declaration.


FoxBase GmbH, as the controller responsible for processing, has implemented numerous technical and organizational measures to ensure the most complete protection of personal data processed through this website. However, internet-based data transmissions can generally have security gaps, so absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, every data subject is free to transmit personal data to us in alternative ways, such as by phone.

1. Definitions

The privacy policy of FoxBase GmbH is based on the terms used by the European directives and regulations when issuing the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Our privacy policy is intended to be easily readable and understandable for the general public as well as for our customers and business partners. To ensure this, we would like to explain the terminology used in advance.


In this privacy policy, we use, among other things, the following terms:

a) personal data

Personal data means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (‘data subject’); an identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person.

b) data subject

The data subject is any identified or identifiable natural person whose personal data is processed by the controller.

c) Processing

Processing means any operation or set of operations which is performed upon personal data, whether or not by automatic means, such as collection, recording, organization, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure or destruction.

d) Restriction of processing 

Limitation of processing is the marking of stored personal data with the aim of restricting their future processing.

e) Profiling

Profiling is any form of automated processing of personal data consisting of the use of personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to analyze or predict aspects concerning job performance, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behavior, location or movements of that natural person.

f) Pseudonymization

Pseudonymization is the processing of personal data in such a way that the personal data can no longer be attributed to a specific data subject without the use of additional information, provided that such additional information is kept separately and is subject to technical and organizational measures to ensure that the personal data are not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.

g) Person responsible or responsible for processing

The controller or the processor shall be the natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data. Where the purposes and means of such processing are determined by Union law or the law of the Member States, the controller or the specific criteria for his designation may be provided for by Union law or the law of the Member States.

h) processor

A processor is a natural or legal person, authority, institution or other body that processes personal data on behalf of the controller.

i) Recipient

Recipient means a natural or legal person, authority, agency or other body to which personal data are disclosed, whether a third party or not, however, authorities which may receive personal data in the course of a particular inquiry in accordance with Union law or the law of the Member States shall not be regarded as recipients. 

j) Third

Third party means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency, institution or other body other than the data subject, the controller, the processor and the persons who are authorized to process the personal data under the direct authority of the controller or the processor.

k) Consent

Consent means any freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous indication of the data subject's wishes by which he or she, by a statement or by a clear affirmative action, signifies agreement to the processing of personal data relating to him or her.

2. Name and address of the person responsible for the processing

Responsible within the meaning of the General Data Protection Regulation, other data protection laws applicable in the Member States of the European Union, and other provisions of a data protection nature is: 


FoxBase GmbH 

Data Protection Officer 

Oststraße 10

3. SSL or TLS encryption

This site uses 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. 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 symbol in your browser line.
When SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

4. Cookies

The websites of FoxBase GmbH use cookies. Cookies are text files that are stored on a computer system via an Internet browser.


Many websites and servers use cookies. Many cookies contain a so-called cookie ID. A cookie ID is a unique identifier of the cookie. It consists of a string through which websites and servers can be assigned to the specific internet browser in which the cookie was stored. This allows the visited websites and servers to distinguish the individual browser of the data subject from other internet browsers that contain other cookies. A specific internet browser can be recognized and identified via the unique cookie ID.


By using cookies, FoxBase GmbH can provide users of this website with more user-friendly services that would not be possible without the cookie setting.


By means of a cookie, the information and offers on our website can be optimized with the user in mind. Cookies allow us, as previously mentioned, to recognize the users of our website. The purpose of this recognition is to make it easier for users to utilize our website. The user of a website that uses cookies, for example, does not have to enter access data each time the website is accessed because this is taken over by the website and the cookie stored on the user's computer system. Another example is the cookie of a shopping cart in an online shop. The online shop remembers the items that a customer has placed in the virtual shopping cart via a cookie.


The data subject can prevent the setting of cookies through our website at any time by means of a corresponding setting of the internet browser used and thus permanently oppose the setting of cookies. Furthermore, already set cookies can be deleted at any time via an internet browser or other software programs. This is possible in all popular internet browsers. If the data subject deactivates the setting of cookies in the internet browser used, not all functions of our website may be fully usable.

Borlabs Cookie

This website uses Borlabs Cookie, which sets a technically necessary cookie (borlabs-cookie) to save your cookie consents. 

Borlabs Cookie processes no personal data. 

Your consents are stored in the borlabs-cookie cookie, which you gave when you entered the website. If you wish to revoke these consents, simply delete the cookie in your browser. When you re-enter/reload the website, you will be asked for your cookie consent again. 

5. Collection of general data and information

The website of FoxBase GmbH records a range of general data and information with each visit by a data subject or an automated system. This general data and information are stored in the server's log files. The following can be collected: (1) types and versions of browsers used, (2) the operating system used by the accessing system, (3) the website from which an accessing system reaches our website (so-called referrers), (4) the subpages accessed via an accessing system on our website, (5) the date and time of access to the website, (6) an internet protocol address (IP address), (7) the internet service provider of the accessing system, and (8) other similar data and information that serve to avert threats in the event of attacks on our information technology systems.


When using this general data and information, FoxBase GmbH does not draw conclusions about the data subject. Rather, this information is needed to (1) deliver the content of our website correctly, (2) optimize the content of our website and its advertising, (3) ensure the ongoing functionality of our information technology systems and the technology of our website, and (4) to provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for prosecution in the event of a cyber attack. These anonymously collected data and information are statistically evaluated by FoxBase GmbH on the one hand and, on the other hand, with the aim of increasing data protection and data security in our company in order to ultimately ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data processed by us. The anonymous data from the server log files are stored separately from all personal data provided by a data subject.

6. Subscription to our newsletter

On the website of FoxBase GmbH, users are given the opportunity to subscribe to our company's newsletter. The personal data transmitted to the data controller when ordering the newsletter is determined by the input mask used for this purpose.


FoxBase GmbH informs its customers and business partners at regular intervals via a newsletter about the company's offers. The newsletter of our company can generally only be received by the data subject if (1) the data subject has a valid email address and (2) the data subject registers for the newsletter. A confirmation email in the double opt-in procedure is sent to the email address first entered by a data subject for newsletter delivery for legal reasons. This confirmation email serves to verify whether the owner of the email address as a data subject has authorized the receipt of the newsletter.


When registering for the newsletter, we also store the IP address assigned by the Internet service provider (ISP) of the computer system used by the data subject at the time of registration, as well as the date and time of registration. The collection of this data is necessary in order to be able to trace any (possible) misuse of a data subject's email address at a later time and therefore serves the legal protection of the data controller.


The personal data collected as part of a newsletter registration will be used exclusively for sending our newsletter. Furthermore, subscribers to the newsletter may be informed by email, as far as this is necessary for the operation of the newsletter service or a registration related thereto, as this could be the case in the event of changes to the newsletter offering or changes in technical conditions. There is no transfer of the personal data collected as part of the newsletter service to third parties. Subscription to our newsletter can be canceled by the data subject at any time. The consent to the storage of personal data that the data subject has given us for newsletter delivery can be revoked at any time. For the purpose of revoking consent, a corresponding link can be found in each newsletter. Furthermore, it is also possible to unsubscribe from the newsletter delivery at any time directly on the website of the data controller or to inform the data controller of this in another way.

MailChimp

For the dispatch and analysis of our newsletters, we use MailChimp, operated by Rocket Science Group LLC, 675 Ponce De Leon Ave NE, Suite 5000, Atlanta, GA 30308, USA.


Our newsletter contains a file (web beacons) that connects to MailChimp's servers in the USA when the email is opened. This allows us to determine whether and when a newsletter message was opened and which links were clicked, if any. MailChimp also collects technical information such as IP address, browser type, and operating system. This information is solely used for the analysis of newsletter campaigns and cannot be assigned to the respective newsletter recipient. We use the results of these analyses to better adapt our newsletter content to the recipients' interests.

7. Contact option via the website

The website of FoxBase GmbH contains information due to legal requirements, which enable rapid electronic contact with our company as well as direct communication with us, which also includes a general address of the so-called electronic mail (email address). If an affected person contacts the data controller by email or via a contact form, the personal data transmitted by the affected person will be automatically stored. Such personal data transmitted on a voluntary basis by an affected person to the data controller will be stored for the purpose of processing or contacting the affected person. This personal data will not be disclosed to third parties.

8. Routine deletion and blocking of personal data 

The controller processing personal data shall process and store the personal data of the data subject only for the period necessary to achieve the purpose of storage or as provided for by the European legislator or other legislator in laws or regulations to which the controller is subject. 

If the purpose of storage is no longer applicable or if a storage period prescribed by the European legislator or another competent legislator expires, the personal data shall be routinely blocked or deleted in accordance with the statutory provisions. 

9. Rights of the data subject

a) Right to confirmation

Every affected person has the right, granted by the European legislator, to request from the data controller confirmation as to whether personal data concerning them is being processed. If a data subject wishes to exercise this confirmation right, they can contact an employee of the data controller at any time.

b) Right to information

Every person affected by the processing of personal data has the right, granted by the European legislator, to obtain from the controller free information about the personal data stored about him and a copy of this information at any time. Furthermore, the European legislator has granted the data subject the following information: 


  • the purposes of the processing 

  • the categories of personal data that are processed 

  • the recipients or categories of recipients to whom the personal data has been or will be disclosed, in particular recipients in third countries or international organizations 

  • if possible the envisaged period for which the personal data will be stored, or, if not possible, the criteria used to determine that period 


  • the existence of the right to request from the controller rectification or erasure of personal data or restriction of processing of personal data concerning the data subject or to object to such processing 

  • the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority 

  • where the personal data are not collected from the data subject: any available information as to their source 

  • the existence of automated decision-making, including profiling, referred to in Article 22(1) and (4) of the GDPR and, at least in those cases, meaningful information about the logic involved, as well as the significance and the envisaged consequences of such processing for the data subject 


Furthermore, the data subject has the right to obtain information as to whether personal data have been transferred to a third country or to an international organization. Where this is the case, the data subject shall also have the right to be informed of the appropriate safeguards relating to the transfer. 


If a data subject wishes to avail himself of this right of access, he or she may at any time contact any employee of the controller. 

c) Right to rectification

Every data subject has the right granted by the European legislator to request the immediate correction of inaccurate personal data concerning them. Furthermore, the data subject has the right, taking into account the purposes of the processing, to request the completion of incomplete personal data — including by means of a supplementary statement. 


If a data subject wishes to exercise this right to rectification, they can contact an employee of the controller responsible for processing at any time. 

d) Right to deletion (Right to be forgotten)

Every data subject shall have the right to obtain from the controller the erasure of personal data concerning them without undue delay where one of the following grounds applies and the processing is not necessary: 


  • The personal data have been collected for such purposes or otherwise processed in a way that they are no longer necessary. 

  • The data subject withdraws consent on which the processing according to Art. 6(1)(a) or Art. 9(2)(a) GDPR is based, and there is no other legal ground for the processing. 

  • The data subject objects to the processing pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR, and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing, or the data subject objects to the processing pursuant to Art. 21(2) GDPR. 

  • The personal data have been unlawfully processed. 


  • The erasure of personal data is necessary to comply with a legal obligation under Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject. 

  • The personal data have been collected in relation to the offer of information society services according to Art. 8(1) GDPR. 


If one of the above-mentioned reasons applies and a data subject wishes to request the erasure of personal data stored by FoxBase GmbH, they may at any time contact an employee of the controller. The employee of FoxBase GmbH will arrange that the erasure request is complied with without delay. 


If personal data have been made public by FoxBase GmbH and our company, as the controller pursuant to Art. 17(1) GDPR, is obligated to erase the personal data,  FoxBase GmbH will, taking into account available technology and implementation costs, take reasonable measures, including technical ones, to inform other controllers processing the published personal data that the data subject has requested erasure of all links to this personal data or copies or replications of this personal data, unless the processing is necessary. The employee of FoxBase GmbH will, in individual cases, take the necessary steps. 

e) Right to restriction of processing

Any data subject has the right, as granted by the European legislator, to request from the controller the restriction of processing if one of the following conditions applies: 


  • The accuracy of the personal data is contested by the data subject, for a period enabling the controller to verify the accuracy of the personal data. 

  • The processing is unlawful, the data subject opposes the erasure of the personal data and requests instead the restriction of their use. 

  • The controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of the processing, but the data subject requires them for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims. 

  • The data subject has objected to processing pursuant to Art. 21(1) of the GDPR pending the verification whether the legitimate grounds of the controller override those of the data subject. 


If one of the above-mentioned conditions is met, and a data subject wishes to request the restriction of personal data stored by FoxBase GmbH, they may at any time contact any employee of the controller. The employee of FoxBase GmbH will arrange the restriction of the processing. 

f) Right to data portability

Every data subject shall have the right to obtain from the European legislator, as granted by the European legislator, confirmation as to whether or not personal data relating to him or her are being processed.


Furthermore, in exercising his or her right to data portability pursuant to Article 20(1) of the GDPR, the data subject shall have the right to have personal data transmitted directly from one controller to another, where technically feasible and if it does not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others. 


In order to assert the right to data portability, the data subject may at any time contact a FoxBase GmbH employee. 

g) Right to object

Any person concerned with the processing of personal data has the right, granted by the European legislator, to object at any time, for reasons arising from their particular situation, to the processing of personal data concerning them, which is based on Article 6(1)(e) or (f) of the GDPR. This also applies to profiling based on these provisions.


FoxBase GmbH will no longer process the personal data in the event of the objection, unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override the interests, rights and freedoms of the data subject, or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.


Where FoxBase GmbH processes personal data for direct marketing purposes, the data subject has the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning them for such marketing, which includes profiling to the extent that it is related to such direct marketing. If the data subject objects to FoxBase GmbH processing for direct marketing purposes, the personal data will no longer be processed for such purposes by FoxBase GmbH.


In addition, the data subject has the right, for reasons arising from their particular situation, to object to the processing of personal data concerning them, which is carried out by FoxBase GmbH for scientific or historical research purposes or for statistical purposes pursuant to Article 89(1) of the GDPR, unless such processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest.


To exercise the right to object, the data subject may directly contact any employee of FoxBase GmbH or another employee. The data subject is also free, in the context of the use of information society services, notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC, to exercise their right to object by automated means using technical specifications.

h) Automated individual decision-making, including profiling

Every person affected by the processing of personal data has the right, as granted by the European legislator, not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects concerning him or her or similarly significantly affects him or her, provided that the decision (1) is not necessary for entering into or the performance of a contract between the data subject and a data controller, or (2) is not authorized by Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject and which also lays down suitable measures to safeguard the data subject's rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, or (3) is taken with the data subject's explicit consent. 


If the decision (1) is necessary for entering into or the performance of a contract between the data subject and a data controller, or (2) is taken with the data subject's explicit consent, FoxBase GmbH shall implement suitable measures to safeguard the data subject's rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, at least the right to obtain human intervention on the part of the controller, to express their point of view and to contest the decision. 


If the data subject wishes to exercise rights relating to automated decisions, they can at any time contact a member of the data controller's staff. 

i) Right to withdraw consent to data protection

Every person affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator to revoke consent to the processing of personal data at any time. 


If the data subject wishes to exercise the right to revoke consent, they can contact an employee of the controller responsible for processing at any time. 

10. Data protection in applications and in the application process

The controller collects and processes the personal data of applicants for the purpose of processing the application process. Processing may also take place electronically. This is particularly the case if an applicant sends the corresponding application documents to the controller electronically, for example by email or via a web form on the website. If the controller concludes an employment contract with an applicant, the data transmitted will be stored for the purpose of processing the employment relationship in compliance with legal requirements. If the controller does not conclude an employment contract with the applicant, the application documents will be automatically deleted two months after the rejection decision is announced, unless deletion is opposed by other legitimate interests of the controller. Another legitimate interest in this sense is, for example, a duty to provide evidence in a procedure under the General Equal Treatment Act (AGG).

11. Analyze tools and advertising 

Privacy policy on the use and application of Google Universal Analytics (with anonymization function)

The person responsible for processing has integrated the Google Analytics component (with anonymization function) on this website. Google Analytics is a web analytics service. Web analytics is the collection, gathering, and analysis of data about the behavior of visitors to websites. A web analytics service collects data, among other things, about which website a data subject has come to a website from (so-called referrer), which subpages of the website were accessed or how often and for how long a subpage was viewed. Web analysis is mainly used to optimize a website and to carry out a cost-benefit analysis of internet advertising.


The operator of the Google Analytics component is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland.


The person responsible for processing uses the addition "_gat._anonymizeIp" for web analysis through Google Analytics. With the help of this addition, the IP address of the data subject's internet connection is shortened and anonymized by Google when accessing our websites from a member state of the European Union or another signatory to the Agreement on the European Economic Area.


The purpose of the Google Analytics component is to analyze visitor flows on 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 websites, and to provide other services related to the use of our website.


Google Analytics sets a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. What cookies are has already been explained above. By setting the cookie, Google is enabled to analyze the use of our website. With each call-up to one of the individual pages of this website, which is operated by the person responsible for processing and on which a Google Analytics component was integrated, the internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject is automatically prompted by the respective Google Analytics component to transmit data for the purpose of online analysis to Google. As part of this technical process, Google becomes aware of personal data, such as the IP address of the data subject, which Google uses, among other things, to trace the origin of visitors and clicks and subsequently to enable commission settlements.


With the help of the cookie, personal information, for example the access time, the place from which an access originated, and the frequency of visits to our website by the data subject, is stored. Each time our websites are visited, these personal data, including the IP address of the internet connection used by the data subject, are transmitted to Google in the United States of America. These personal data are stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may pass these personal data collected through the technical procedure to third parties under certain circumstances.


The data subject can prevent the setting of cookies through our website at any time, as already mentioned, by means of an appropriate setting of the internet browser used and thus permanently oppose the setting of cookies. Such a setting of the internet browser used would also prevent Google from setting a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. In addition, a cookie already set by Google Analytics can be deleted at any time via the internet browser or other software programs.


Furthermore, the data subject has the possibility of objecting to and preventing the collection of data generated by Google Analytics related to the use of this website and the processing of this data by Google. For this purpose, the data subject must download and install a browser add-on at the link https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. This browser add-on informs Google Analytics via JavaScript that no data and information regarding website visits may be transmitted to Google Analytics. The installation of the browser add-on is considered a contradiction by Google. If the information technology system of the data subject is later deleted, formatted, or reinstalled, the data subject must reinstall the browser add-on to deactivate Google Analytics. If the browser add-on is uninstalled or disabled by the data subject or another person attributable to their sphere of control, it is possible to reinstall or reactivate the browser add-on.


Further information and the applicable data protection provisions of Google can be accessed at https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/ and at https://www.google.com/analytics/terms/de.html.

Privacy Policy on the use and operation of Google Analytics 4

The person responsible for processing has integrated the successor to Google Universal Analytics, Google Analytics 4 (GA4), on this website.  


The operator of Google Analytics 4 is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland. 


The new generation of Google Analytics is a web analytics service. The definition of web analytics service is explained above. In GA4, cookies are abolished and anonymized data is collected with the help of machine learning to be able to perform better and more relevant analyses of our website. This data is transferred by Google to the United States of America and stored for up to 14 months. 


The purpose of the Google Analytics component is to analyze the visitor flows 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 that show the activities on our websites, and to provide other services related to the use of our website. 


Further information and the applicable Google privacy policy can be found at https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/ and at https://www.google.com/analytics/terms/en.html  

More information about Google Analytics https://marketingplatform.google.com/intl/en/about/analytics/  

Privacy policy on the use and use of Google Ads

For this website, we use Google Ads. Google Ads is a service for internet advertising, with which we place ads in the search engine results of Google as well as in the Google advertising network. Google Ads allows us to define certain keywords in advance, by means of which an ad is displayed in the search engine results of Google when the user retrieves a keyword-relevant search result with the search engine. In the Google advertising network, the ads are displayed using an automatic algorithm.


The operator of the services of Google Ads is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland.


The purpose of Google Ads is to promote our website by displaying interest-relevant advertising on the websites of third-party companies and in the search engine results of the Google search engine, and by displaying third-party advertising on our website.


If an affected person accesses our website via a Google ad, a so-called conversion cookie is placed on the affected person's information technology system by Google. As mentioned above, what cookies are has already been explained. A conversion cookie loses its validity after thirty days and is not used to identify the affected person. Above the conversion cookie, it is tracked, if the cookie has not yet expired, whether certain sub-pages, for example the contact form, were called up on our website. The conversion cookie allows us and Google to track whether an affected person who accessed our website via an Ads ad generated revenue, that is, completed or cancelled a purchase.


The data and information collected through the use of the conversion cookie are used by Google to create visit statistics for our website. We, in turn, use these visit statistics to determine the total number of users who were referred to us through Ads ads, that is, to determine the success or failure of the respective Ads ad and to optimize our Ads ads for the future. Neither our company nor other advertising customers of Google Ads receive information from Google that could be used to identify the affected person.


Personal information, such as the internet pages visited by the affected person, is stored via the conversion cookie. Therefore, personal data, including the IP address of the internet connection used by the affected person, is transmitted to Google in the USA every time our internet pages are visited. This personal data is stored by Google in the USA. Google may pass on this personal data collected through the technical process to third parties.


The affected person can prevent the setting of cookies by our website, as described above, at any time by means of a corresponding setting of the internet browser used and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Such a setting of the internet browser would also prevent Google from setting a conversion cookie on the affected person's information technology system. In addition, a cookie already set by Google Ads can be deleted at any time via the internet browser or other software programs.


The affected person has the possibility to object to interest-based advertising by Google at the following link: https://www.google.de/settings/ads


More information about the privacy policies of Google can be found here: https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/

Privacy policy on the use and use of Google Remarketing

We also use Google's remarketing function. The integration of Google remarketing allows us to show you personalized ads on other websites within the Google advertising network, based on your interests shown on our website. This function is limited to a maximum of 18 months.


Google remarketing sets a cookie on the affected person's information technology system. The definition of cookies is explained above. By setting the cookie, Google enables recognition of the visitor when they access subsequent web pages that are also members of the Google advertising network. Each time a web page is accessed on which Google remarketing service has been integrated, the web browser of the affected person automatically identifies with Google. In the context of this technical process, Google receives personal information, such as the IP address or the user's browsing behavior, which Google uses, among other things, for the display of interest-based advertising.


The cookie is used to store personal information, such as the internet pages visited by the affected person. Every time our websites are visited, personal data, including the IP address of the internet access used by the affected person, is transmitted to Google in the USA and stored. Google may pass on this personal data collected through the technical process to third parties.

 

The affected person can prevent the setting of cookies through our website, as already described above, at any time by means of an appropriate setting of the internet browser used and can thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Such a setting of the internet browser used would also prevent Google from setting a cookie on the affected person's information technology system. In addition, cookies already set by Google can be deleted at any time via an internet browser or other software programs.


For further information, please see Google's privacy policy. You can prevent interest-based advertising by installing this browser plugin here.

Privacy policy on the use and use of Google Tag Manager

This website uses Google Tag Manager. This service allows website tags to be managed through an interface. Google Tag Manager does not implement cookies, but only tags, and does not collect personal data. The service triggers other tags, which may in turn collect data. However, Google Tag Manager does not access this data. If deactivation has been performed at the domain or cookie level, it will apply to all tracking tags implemented with Google Tag Manager.

Privacy policy on the use and deployment of Microsoft Clarity 

This website uses the 'Clarity' service from Microsoft Corporation. We use this tool to analyze and understand how users interact with our website.


The operating company of these services is Microsoft Corporation, One Microsoft Way, Redmond, WA 98052-6399, USA.


Clarity uses, among other things, cookies that enable an analysis of the use of our website, as well as a so-called tracking code. Usage and user-related information, such as IP address, location, time, or frequency of visits to our website, are transmitted to Microsoft Clarity and stored on their servers. This information can also be used by Microsoft for advertising purposes.

14. Legal basis for processing

Art. 6 I lit. a GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing operations for which we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose. If the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, as is the case, for example, with processing operations for the delivery of goods or the provision of any other service or consideration, the processing is based on Art. 6 I lit. b GDPR. The same applies to such processing operations that are necessary for carrying out pre-contractual measures, such as in the case of inquiries about our products or services. If our company is subject to a legal obligation by which processing of personal data is required, such as for the fulfillment of tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6 I lit. c GDPR. In rare cases, the processing of personal data may be necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or of another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor were injured in our company and his name, age, health insurance data, or other vital information would have to be passed on to a doctor, hospital, or other third party. Then the processing would be based on Art. 6 I lit. d GDPR. 


Ultimately, processing operations could be based on Art. 6 I lit. f GDPR. This legal basis is used for processing operations which are not covered by any of the aforementioned legal grounds, if processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by our company or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject. Such processing operations are particularly permissible because they have been specifically mentioned by the European legislator. He considered that a legitimate interest could be assumed if the data subject is a client of the controller (Recital 47 Sentence 2 GDPR). 

15. Legitimate interests pursued by the controller or by a third party

Is the processing of personal data based on Article 6 I lit. f GDPR, our legitimate interest is the conduct of our business for the benefit of all our employees and our shareholders.

16. Duration for which the personal data is stored

The criterion for the duration of the storage of personal data is the respective legal retention period. After the expiry of the period, the corresponding data will be routinely deleted unless they are no longer required for the fulfillment of a contract or for contract initiation.

17. Legal or contractual provisions for the provision of personal data; necessity for the conclusion of the contract; obligation of the data subject to provide the personal data; possible consequences of non-provision

We inform you that the provision of personal data is partly required by law (e.g. tax regulations) or can also result from contractual provisions (e.g. information on the contractual partner). 


It may occasionally be necessary to conclude a contract that a data subject provides us with personal data that must subsequently be processed by us. For example, the data subject is obliged to provide us with personal data when our company enters into a contract with them. Failure to provide the personal data would mean that the contract could not be concluded with the data subject. 


Prior to the provision of personal data by the data subject, the data subject must contact one of our employees. Our employee will inform the data subject on a case-by-case basis whether the provision of personal data is required by law or contract, whether there is an obligation to provide the personal data, and what consequences the failure to provide the personal data would have. 

18. Existence of automated decision-making

As a responsible company, we refrain from automatic decision-making or profiling.
