1. Data Privacy Overview

The protection of your personal data is very important to us. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with the statutory data protection regulations and this privacy policy. We use personal data in accordance with these provisions and comply with the provisions of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”), the Federal Data Protection Act (“BDSG”), the Digital Services Act (“DDG”) and the Telecommunications – Digital Services Data Protection Act. (“TDDDG”). We have taken technical and organizational measures to ensure that both we and our external service providers comply with data protection regulations

The following information provides an overview of what happens to your personal data when you visit our website, including the application portal (“Jobs”) and our blog.

Who is responsible for data processing?

Responsible for the collection, processing and use of your personal data within the meaning of the EU General Data Protection Regulation and the Federal Data Protection Act is: Peak Ace AG, Leuschnerdamm 13, 10999 Berlin. Further contact details can be found in the imprint of this website.

What is personal data?

Personal data is all data with which you can be personally identified. This includes, for example, the name you enter in the application form, your address, your e-mail address, but also the IP address you use to visit the website.

How do we collect your data?

On the one hand, we collect your data when you provide it to us, e.g. in a contact or application form. Other data is collected automatically by our IT systems when you visit the website. This is technical data (e.g. IP address, browser used, date and time of the page view).

For what purposes do we process your data?

On the one hand, we collect your data in order to ensure the error-free provision and operational security of our website. We also need to process your data to process and respond to your inquiries or applications.

To analyze and optimize our website, we also use statistical or pseudonymous data that cannot be traced back to you, e.g. via cookies. You can object to the use of the tools used for this purpose via the consent management tool we use.

General information on the legal basis for data processing on this website

If you have consented to data processing, we process your personal data on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR or Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a GDPR, insofar as special categories of data are processed in accordance with Art. 9 para. 1 GDPR. In the event of express consent to the transfer of personal data to third countries, data processing is also carried out on the basis of Art. 49 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. If you have consented to the storage of cookies, the data processing is also carried out on the basis of Section 25 (1) TDDDG. Consent can be revoked at any time – with effect for the future. If your data is required to fulfill the contract or to carry out pre-contractual measures, we process your data on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR. Furthermore, we process your data if this is necessary to fulfill a legal obligation on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR. Data processing may also be carried out on the basis of our legitimate interest in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. Information on the relevant legal bases in each individual case is provided in the following paragraphs of this privacy policy.

Note on data transfer to the USA and other third countries

 Among other things, we use tools from companies based in the USA or other third countries that are not classified as secure under data protection law. If these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to these third countries and processed there. We would like to point out that a level of data protection comparable to that in the EU cannot be guaranteed in these countries. For example, US companies are obliged to hand over personal data to security authorities without you as the data subject being able to take legal action against this. It can therefore not be ruled out that US authorities (e.g. secret services) may process, evaluate and permanently store your data on US servers for surveillance purposes. We have no influence on these processing activities.

Storage period and routine deletion

Unless an explicit storage period is specified below, we will only process and store your personal data for as long as is necessary to achieve the respective purpose. Beyond this, data will only be stored if longer retention periods are provided for by law (e.g. retention periods under tax or commercial law).

As soon as the purpose of storage ceases to apply or the aforementioned statutory retention period expires, the personal data is routinely deleted.

2. Log files

When you visit our website, our web servers temporarily collect and store technical information (so-called log files) that your browser transmits to us: the IP address, the date and time of the visit, the client’s file request (file name, size and URL, the http status code), the website from which you are visiting us (referrer) and the browser type used. The data collected is used for data security purposes, in particular to defend against attempted attacks and to stabilize operational security, and for statistical evaluations. They are deleted or anonymized after 30 days at the latest. In the case of anonymization, the IP addresses are changed in such a way that the data can no longer be assigned to a specific or identifiable natural person, or only with a disproportionate amount of time, cost and manpower. The log files are neither used to create individual user profiles nor passed on to third parties

The legal basis for the temporary storage of data and log files is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR and § 25 para. 2 no. 2 TDDDG.

3. Cookies

We use so-called cookies on our website. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer and saved by your browser. The use of cookies serves to make our website more user-friendly and secure. Cookies do not cause any damage to your computer and do not contain any viruses.

Most of the cookies we use are so-called “session cookies”. These enable us, for example, to save individual settings and certain actions for the duration of your visit to our website. They are automatically deleted at the end of the session during which you visited our website. A session is ended when you close the browser on your device that you used to access our website. Other cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them (“persistent cookies”). These cookies enable us, for example, to recognize your browser or a language selection setting on your next visit.

Cookies may originate from us (so-called first-party cookies) or from third-party companies (so-called third-party cookies). Third-party cookies enable the integration of certain services from third-party companies within websites.

Cookies have various functions. Many cookies are technically necessary, as certain website functions would not work without them (e.g. language selection). Other cookies can be used to evaluate user behavior or for advertising purposes.

Cookies that are required to carry out the electronic communication process, to provide certain functions that you have requested (e.g. for language selection, for the function to consent to or object to the use of cookies) or to optimize the website (e.g. cookies to measure the web audience) (necessary cookies) are stored on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR, unless another legal basis is specified. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the storage of necessary cookies for the technically error-free and optimized provision of its services. If consent to the storage of cookies and comparable recognition technologies has been requested, the processing is carried out on the basis of this consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR and § 25 para. 1 TDDDG); the consent can be revoked at any time – with effect for the future.

Consent is obtained via our Consent Management Tool. Here you have the option of agreeing or rejecting the use of cookies when you visit our website. In addition, the Consent Management Tool allows you to find out about the cookies used at any time and subsequently adjust your decision. Cookies that are required to provide the web service cannot be rejected.

In addition, you can set your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies and only allow cookies in individual cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general and activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. If cookies are generally deactivated, the functionality of this website may be restricted.

You can find out which cookies and services are used on this website in this privacy policy or in the Consent Management Tool.

4. Contact form

If you send us an inquiry on our website via our contact form, the contact details you provide (name, e-mail address, telephone number) and the information you provide in the context of the inquiry will be processed and stored for the purpose of processing your inquiry and any follow-up questions

The processing of the data entered via the contact form is based on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR). You can revoke this consent at any time – with effect for the future.

We store your data until you ask us to delete it, revoke your consent to storage or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g. after your request has been processed). Statutory retention periods remain unaffected by this

For any communication by e-mail, telephone and/or fax following your inquiry via our contact form, the information in section 5 below applies.

5. Inquiries by email, telephone or fax

If you contact us by e-mail, telephone or fax, we will store and process your request, including all personal data resulting from it (name, e-mail address, telephone number, fax number, the request and all other communication content) for the purpose of processing your request.

This data is processed on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR if your request is related to the fulfillment of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures, in the case of contracts or contract initiation with legal entities also Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR, our legitimate interest in this respect is communication with the contact persons relevant to the contract. In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective processing of the inquiries addressed to us (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR)

Contact and contract data may be transmitted to other service providers, business partners as well as offices and authorities if this is necessary for the execution of a contract or order or for processing a request.

The data you send to us via contact requests will remain with us until you ask us to delete it, revoke your consent to storage or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g. after your request has been processed). Mandatory statutory provisions – in particular statutory retention periods – remain unaffected.

6. Blog (Peak Ace Latest)

If you wish to publish a comment on our blog integrated into the website, please register on our blog by providing your contact details (name, e-mail address and website, if applicable) and publish your comment on a blog post. When the comment is published, only the name, date and time of the comment and its content will be displayed in the blog. We process your data exclusively for the purpose of publishing your comment.

The processing of the data entered via the contact form is based on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR). You can revoke this consent at any time.

We store your data until you ask us to delete it, revoke your consent to storage or the purpose for data storage no longer applies.

7. Newsletter

If you would like to be informed about current developments (e.g. about career opportunities at Peak Ace and general developments and news in the industry) via one of our regular newsletters and be included in the corresponding distribution list, we require an e-mail address and a name for addressing you, as well as log files and the opening and reading times of the newsletter and, for the purpose of consent management for inclusion in our newsletter distribution list, the times of the respective subscription and unsubscription. If necessary, other pseudonymized identifiers such as external IDs or hashed e-mail addresses may also be processed. Further data is not collected or is only collected on a voluntary basis (in the “Jobs” section, for example, additional information on which job area you are interested in). We use this data exclusively for sending the requested information. We also check the reach and success of the newsletter using anonymous or pseudonymized analyses.

We use the so-called double opt-in procedure to verify your e-mail address for sending newsletters, i.e. we will only send you a newsletter by e-mail if you have expressly confirmed to us beforehand that we should activate the newsletter service. You will then receive a notification e-mail in which we ask you to confirm that you wish to receive our newsletter by clicking on a link contained in this e-mail.

The data provided when registering for the newsletter will be processed exclusively on the basis of your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR). By subscribing to our newsletter, you also consent to the forwarding of the data to our service provider. In this respect, too, the legal basis is Article 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. a GDPR, your consent.

We use the service provider Sendinblue GmbH, Köpenicker Straße 126, 10179 Berlin (“Brevo”) as a processor for sending and analyzing our newsletter. Brevo’s data protection information is available at the following link: https://www.brevo.com/de/legal/privacypolicy/.

You can revoke your consent to the storage of the data, the e-mail address and its forwarding to Brevo and its use for sending the newsletter at any time with effect for the future, for example via the “unsubscribe” link in the newsletter or via a corresponding revocation. The data stored by us for sending the newsletter will be deleted by us after you unsubscribe from the newsletter. We reserve the right to delete or block e-mail addresses from our newsletter distribution list at our own discretion within the scope of our legitimate interest in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. Data stored by us for other purposes remains unaffected by this. After you unsubscribe from the newsletter distribution list, your e-mail address may be stored by us or the newsletter service provider in a blacklist if this is necessary to prevent future mailings. The data from the blacklist will only be used for this purpose and will not be merged with other data. This serves both your interest and our interest in complying with the legal requirements when sending newsletters (legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR). Storage in the blacklist is not limited in time. You can object to the storage if your interests outweigh our legitimate interest.

You enter your e-mail address and your name yourself when registering for the newsletter; the other data for analysis is provided automatically by the browser of the end device used. Brevo will delete the data no later than two years after you unsubscribe from our newsletter.

The provision of data is required to receive our newsletter. Without the provision of data, newsletters cannot be sent or delivered. You can withdraw your consent for future processing of your personal data in connection with our newsletter distribution lists at any time.

8. Online applications

If you apply to us via our online application form, we collect the following applicant data: First and last name, email address, telephone number, details of the position addressed by the application and communication details, date and time and technical metadata of the communication, as well as application documents (including CV, references) and any other personal information you voluntarily provide. You can also request that we include your application data in an applicant pool so that we can consider your application for future positions.

The data provided in the online application is processed on the basis of Section 26 BDSG in conjunction with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR (an employment relationship or the decision to establish an employment relationship) and Art. 88 GDPR. If we also include you in our applicant pool, this is done on the basis of your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR). The processing takes place exclusively for the purpose of processing your application and – if desired – inclusion in our applicant pool.

The applicant data is forwarded internally to our employees entrusted with the decision. We also use service providers on the basis of an order processing agreement as processors for the provision of services, in particular the service provider Personio SE & Co KG, Seidlstraße 3, 80335 Munich (“Personio”).

Your application data will be deleted no later than six months after completion of the application process. This does not apply if statutory retention periods prevent deletion, if further storage is necessary for the purpose of providing evidence or if you have expressly consented to longer storage. If you have applied to be included in our applicant pool, your data will be deleted if you withdraw your consent or after two years at the latest.

In your own interest, we would ask you not to send us your application (including unsolicited applications) by e-mail, but to use our online application form instead. The reason for this is that your data is protected in the best possible way against unauthorized access and manipulation via our encrypted online form

The provision of personal data is essential for the examination of the application and, if applicable, the subsequent conclusion of an employment contract. Personal data that is not required is marked as voluntary and applications can also be submitted without providing the data marked as voluntary. An application cannot be considered if the necessary personal data is not provided. If you do not consent to the inclusion of your application data in our applicant pool, you will not suffer any disadvantages in future application procedures.

9. Cookie consent management and web analytics tools

Borlabs Consent Management Platform

We use  the consent management tool Borlabs Cookies to obtain consent data for the storage of certain cookies. This is a software with which the user’s consent under data protection law can be obtained, revoked and adapted in a differentiated manner. The provider of the Borlabs Cookies consent management tool is Borlabs GmbH, Hamburger Str. 11, 22083 Hamburg (“Borlabs”).

As part of a data processing relationship, the personal consent data with which the consents or revocations of these consents are documented are processed by Borlabs as our data processor. Consent data includes the following data: Date and time of the visit or consent / revocation of consent, device information. This information is stored in the form of a technically required cookie on the user’s device used to access our website.

Data processing is carried out for the purpose of complying with legal obligations under Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. c GDPR and § 25 para. 2 no. 2 TDDDG.

Google Analytics 4

This website uses functions of the web analysis service Google Analytics 4 to measure activities and improve our offer. The analysis helps us to understand which functions of our websites you find useful and to design a more relevant use for you. The provider is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin, 4, Ireland (“Google”). Google Analytics uses cookies (see section 3).

In Google Analytics 4, the anonymization of IP addresses is activated by default. Due to IP anonymization, your IP address will be shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and truncated there. According to Google, the IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.

Google uses the information generated by this process on our behalf to evaluate the use of the website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide us with other services relating to website activity and internet usage for . This enables us to improve the quality of our website and its content. We learn how the website is used on the basis of statistical analyses and can thus constantly optimize our offer. Google Analytics 4 uses cookies (first-party cookies), which enable your use of the website to be analyzed. However, this does not mean that we obtain direct knowledge of your identity.

We use the Google Analytics 4 function of cross-domain tracking to recognize visitors across different websites and thus achieve a particularly far-reaching analysis of user behavior. The function enables first party cookies to be recognized for the second domain even if the domain is changed. These first party cookies are only visible from the domain currently being visited.

The following personal data is collected:

  • Time information (e.g. event time)
  • Page information (e.g. page type)
  • Browser information (e.g. browser version)
  • Device information (e.g. advertising ID)
  • Personal data (e.g. IP address)
  • Cookie data (e.g. session ID)
  • Advertising identifier (e.g. gclid or fbclid)
  • Behavioral data (e.g. surfing behavior)
  • Results (e.g. A/B test information)
  • Location information (e.g. city)

The legal basis is your consent pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a and Art. 49 para. 1 a GDPR (third country transfer) or – insofar as it concerns the anonymized use of (aggregated) analysis data – our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR, § 25 para. 1 TDDDG. Our legitimate interests lie in particular in being able to provide you with a technically optimized, user-friendly and needs-based website and to ensure the security of our systems.

Place of processing: United States of America and Ireland / European Union

When collecting measurement data in Analytics 4, all IP searches take place on EU-based servers before the traffic is forwarded to Analytics servers for processing.

Note: In principle, we have provided sufficient guarantees for data transfers in accordance with Art. 46 GDPR (EU standard contractual clauses), but personal data may be transferred to a third country that does not comply with EU data protection standards. In particular, there is a risk that your data may be processed by authorities for control or monitoring purposes (possibly even without effective remedies). Furthermore, it cannot be guaranteed that your rights as a data subject can be fully implemented and that supervisory authorities in the USA will take appropriate remedial action. The information generated by the cookies used by Google Analytics about your use of our services will generally be transmitted to and stored by Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA in the USA; however, if IP anonymization is activated on this website, your IP address will be shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area beforehand. This anonymization of the IP address takes sufficient account of our users’ interest in the protection of their personal data. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transmitted to Google LLC servers in the USA and truncated there. Google LLC is certified under the “EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework”, for which the European Commission adopted the adequacy decision on July 10, 2023. In addition, the EU standard contractual clauses, which constitute appropriate guarantees of the processor in accordance with Commission Decision 2021/914 of June 4, 2021, are the subject of our data processing agreement with Google.

Retention period: Your personal data must be deleted as soon as it is no longer required for the specified processing purposes. This is the case after 14 months.

The terms of use of Google Analytics can be viewed at any time at http://www.google.com/analytics/terms/de.html, further information on data protection is provided by Google Analytics at the link http://www.google.com/intl/de/analytics/learn/privacy.html and in the privacy policy at  http://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy.

Alternatively, you can prevent Google Analytics4 from collecting data about you within this website by clicking on this link https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout/. By clicking on the above link, you download an “opt-out cookie”. Your browser must therefore always allow cookies to be stored. If you delete your cookies regularly, you will need to click on the link again each time you visit this website.

Google Analytics Remarketing

Our websites use the functions of Google Analytics Remarketing in conjunction with the cross-device functions of Google Ads. The provider of these services is Google.

This function makes it possible to link the advertising target groups created with Google Analytics Remarketing with the cross-device functions of Google Ads. In this way, interest-based, personalized advertising messages that have been adapted to you depending on your previous usage and surfing behavior on one device (e.g. cell phone) can also be displayed on another of your devices (e.g. tablet or PC).

If you have given your consent, Google will link your web and app browsing history to your Google account for this purpose. In this way, the same personalized advertising messages can be displayed on every device on which you sign in with your Google account.
To support this function, Google Analytics collects Google-authenticated user IDs that are temporarily linked to our Google Analytics data in order to define and create target groups for cross-device advertising.

We have no influence on the actual scope and further use of the data collected by Google through the use of the technology and therefore provide information accordingly on the basis of our knowledge in this regard. According to information from Google, the data collected in the context of remarketing is not merged with your personal data, which may be stored by Google. In particular, Google states that personal data is pseudonymized when Google Ads remarketing technology is used. If you are registered with a Google service, Google can assign the visit to your account. Even if you are not registered with Google or have not logged in to a Google service, we cannot rule out the possibility that your IP address may be obtained and stored. You can prevent participation in this tracking process by either deactivating cookies for so-called conversion tracking, e.g. by setting your browser to block cookies from the domain “www.googleadservices.com” (corresponding settings can be made at https://www.google.de/settings/ads, for example, whereby we would like to point out that these settings are stored in the form of cookies and are therefore deleted when you delete your cookies), or by deactivating interest-based ads via the link http://www.aboutads.info/choices, whereby this setting is also deleted when you delete your cookies. Alternatively, you can permanently deactivate cookies in the Firefox, Internet Explorer or Google Chrome browsers by clicking on the link http://www.google.com/settings/ads/plugin. However, we would like to point out that in this case you may not be able to use all the functions of our services to their full extent.

The aggregation of the data collected in your Google Account is based exclusively on your consent, which you can give or withdraw from Google (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR). In the case of anonymized data collection processes that are not merged in your Google account (e.g. because you do not have a Google account or have objected to the merging), the collection of data is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR or § 25 para. 1 TDDDG. The legitimate interest arises from the fact that the website operator has an interest in the anonymized analysis of website visitors for advertising purposes.

The data collected in this way is usually also transferred to servers of Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA in the USA and stored there. Google LLC is certified under the “EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework”, for which the European Commission adopted the adequacy decision on July 10, 2023. In addition, the EU standard contractual clauses, which constitute appropriate guarantees of the processor in accordance with Commission Decision 2021/914 of June 4, 2021, are the subject of our data processing agreement with Google.

Further information on Google’s remarketing technology can be found at https://support.google.com/adwords/answer/2453998?hl=de. Information on data protection at Google can also be found at https://www.google. de/intl/de/policies/privacy.

Further information and the data protection provisions can be found in Google’s privacy policy at: https://www.google.com/policies/technologies/ads/ or https://www.google. de/intl/de/policies/privacy.

Google Ads and Google Conversion Tracking

We use the online advertising program “Google Ads” on our website and in this context conversion tracking (visit action evaluation). Google Conversion Tracking is an analysis service offered by Google. When you click on an advertisement placed by Google, a cookie for conversion tracking is stored on your computer. These cookies have a limited validity (30 days), do not contain any personal data and are therefore not used for personal identification. If you visit certain pages of our website and the cookie has not yet expired, Google and we can recognize that you have clicked on the ad and have been redirected to this page. Each Google Ads customer receives a different cookie. It is therefore not possible for cookies to be tracked via the websites of Ads customers.

The information collected with the help of the conversion cookie is used to create conversion statistics. This tells us the total number of users who clicked on one of our ads and were redirected to a page with a conversion tracking tag. However, we do not receive any information with which users can be personally identified.

The processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR from the legitimate interest in the analysis of user behavior in order to optimize our own website and the efficiency of advertising.

You have the right to object to this processing of your personal data at any time for reasons arising from your particular situation. To do so, you can prevent the storage of cookies by selecting the appropriate technical settings in your browser software. However, we would like to point out that in this case you may not be able to use all the functions of this website to their full extent. You will then not be included in the conversion tracking statistics.

You can also deactivate personalized advertising for you in the Google advertising settings. You can find instructions on how to do this at https://support.google.com/ads/answer/2662922?hl=de. In addition, you can deactivate the use of cookies by third-party providers by visiting the deactivation page of the Network Advertising Initiative at https://www.networkadvertising.org/choices/ and implementing the further information on opting out mentioned there.

Alternatively, you can set an opt-out cookie to prevent the collection of data by ads. Opt-out cookies then prevent the future collection of your data when you visit this website. You must opt out on all systems and devices used for this to be fully effective.

Further information and Google’s privacy policy can be found at: https://www.google.de/policies/privacy/.

Matomo

This website uses the open source web analysis service Matomo.

With the help of Matomo, we are able to collect and analyze data about the use of our website by website visitors. This allows us to find out, among other things, when which page views were made and from which region they come, in particular we can use Matomo to display those areas of our services in the form of so-called heat maps in which the greatest (or even the least) activity can be determined in order to analyze the use of our services so that we can further improve our services and adapt them to the needs of users. We also record various log files (e.g. IP address, referrer, browser and operating system used) and can measure whether our website visitors perform certain actions (e.g. clicks, purchases, etc.).

The use of this analysis tool without the use of cookies is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the analysis of user behavior in order to optimize both its website and its advertising. If a corresponding consent has been requested, the processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR and § 25 para. 1 TDDDG, insofar as the consent includes the storage of cookies or access to information in the user’s terminal device within the meaning of the TDDDG. Consent can be revoked at any time with effect for the future.

The cookies are stored for a maximum of 13 months. If Matomo is also used without cookies, returning users are recognized on the basis of a so-called “digital fingerprint”, which is stored anonymously and changed every 24 hours. According to the information provided to us, it is not possible to draw conclusions about the identity of individual users. We also use IP anonymization for the analysis with Matomo. This means that your IP address is shortened before the analysis so that it can no longer be clearly assigned to you.

Further information on data protection at Matomo is available at: https://matomo.org/privacy/.

10. Tools and plugins

Facebook plugins (Like button) and pixels

Elements of the social network Facebook are integrated on this website. The provider of this service is Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Dublin 2, Ireland. However, according to Facebook, the data collected is also transferred to the USA and other third countries.

You can find an overview of the Facebook social media elements here: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/?locale=de_DE.

When the social media element is active, a direct connection is established between your device and the Facebook server. Facebook receives the information that you have visited this website with your IP address. If you click on the Facebook “Like” button while you are logged into your Facebook account, you can link the content of this website to your Facebook profile.

This allows Facebook to associate your visit to this website with your user account. We would like to point out that, as the provider of the pages, we have no knowledge of the content of the transmitted data or its use by Facebook. Further information on this can be found in Facebook’s privacy policy at: https://de-de.facebook.com/privacy/explanation.

If you have given your consent to Facebook, we also use Facebook Pixel on our websites to optimize our advertising offer.

If you have a Facebook user account, this can be recognized by the Facebook pixel on our website using the cookie set by Facebook. The cookie is used to transmit the collected usage data to Facebook for analysis and marketing purposes. You can check and/or deactivate this data collection and further processing and use by Facebook directly on Facebook. The Facebook pixel is a JavaScript code that transmits the following data to Facebook:

  • HTTP header information (including IP address, information on the web browser, page location, document, URL of the website and user agent of the web browser, referrer URL and date and time of use);
  • Pixel-specific data; this includes the pixel ID and Facebook cookie data, including your Facebook ID (this data is used to link events to a specific Facebook advertising account and assign them to a Facebook user);
  • Information about the visit to the website, e.g. access to certain information

If you wish to object to the use of the Facebook pixel, you can set an opt-out cookie on Facebook or deactivate JavaScript in your browser. For more information and the setting options for protecting your privacy for advertising purposes, please refer to Facebook’s privacy policy, which can be found at https://www.facebook.com/ads/website_custom_audiences/.

This website uses functions of the LinkedIn network, offered by LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company, Wilton Place, Dublin 2, Ireland.

The LinkedIn Insight tag enables the collection of data about your website visit, i.e. URL, referrer URL, IP address, device and browser characteristics, timestamp and page views. This data is encrypted and anonymized within 7 days. The anonymized data is deleted within 90 days.

LinkedIn does not share any personal data with us, but only provides us as the provider of the website with summarized reports on the target groups and the advertising performance of the website.

LinkedIn also enables retargeting for website visitors, so that the provider of a website can display targeted advertising outside its website without identifying the website visitor.

The purpose of data processing is to analyze website visits and campaign results in order to improve our offer and provide you with interesting information.

The legal basis for the processing of personal data – insofar as this is done anonymously (in an aggregated manner) – is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. If a corresponding consent has been requested, the processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR and § 25 para. 1 TDDDG, insofar as the consent includes the storage of cookies or access to information in the user’s terminal device within the meaning of the TDDDG. Consent can be revoked at any time with effect for the future.

Mouseflow

This website uses Mouseflow, a web analysis tool from Mouseflow ApS, Flaesketorvet 68, 1711 Copenhagen, Denmark (“Mouseflow”). The purpose of data processing is to analyze this website and its visitors. For this purpose, data is collected and stored for marketing and optimization purposes. This data can be used to create user profiles under a pseudonym. Cookies can be used for this purpose. The web analysis tool Mouseflow records randomly selected individual visits (only with anonymized IP addresses). This creates a log of mouse movements and clicks with the intention of randomly playing back individual website visits and deriving potential improvements for the website. The data collected with Mouseflow will not be used to personally identify the visitor to this website and will not be merged with personal data about the bearer of the pseudonym without the separately granted consent of the person concerned.

The processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR from the legitimate interest in direct customer communication and in the needs-based design of the website. You have the right to object, on grounds relating to your particular situation, at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you on the basis of Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. To do this, you can deactivate recording on all websites that use Mouseflow globally for the browser you are currently using at the following link: https://mouseflow.de/opt-out/.

YouTube

Our website uses plugins from the YouTube video portal operated by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (e.g. iframes in the “Blog” section of our website). When you visit one of our pages equipped with a YouTube plugin, a connection to the YouTube servers is established. This tells the YouTube server which of our pages you have visited

Here we use the “extended data protection mode” option provided by Google. According to Google, in “extended data protection mode” your data – in particular which of our websites you have visited and device-specific information including the IP address – is only transmitted to the YouTube server in the USA when you watch the video. By clicking on the video, you consent to this transmission.

In some cases, information is transmitted to the parent company Google Inc. based in the USA, to other Google companies and to external partners of Google, each of which may be located outside the European Union. Google uses standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission and relies on the adequacy decisions issued by the European Commission regarding certain countries.

If you are logged into your YouTube account, you enable YouTube to assign your surfing behavior directly to your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account.

If a corresponding consent has been requested, the processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR and § 25 para. 1 TDDDG, insofar as the consent includes the storage of cookies or access to information in the user’s terminal device within the meaning of the TDDDG. Consent can be revoked at any time.

Further information on the handling of user data can be found in YouTube’s privacy policy at: https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy.

Google Cloud

We use Google Cloud, an online storage service for files, photos and videos, for our website. The service provider is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street Dublin 4, Ireland.

Google also processes your data in the USA. In principle, we have provided sufficient guarantees for the transfer of data in accordance with Art. 46 GDPR (EU standard contractual clauses). Google has a contract for order processing in accordance with Art. 28 GDPR, which serves as the data protection basis for our customer relationship with Google. The content of this contract refers to the EU- standard contractual clauses. You can find the order processing conditions here: https://business.safety.google/intl/de/adsprocessorterms/

However, we would like to point out that, in the opinion of the European Court of Justice, there is currently no adequate level of protection for data transfers to the USA. In particular, there is a risk that your data may be processed by authorities for control or monitoring purposes (possibly even without effective remedies). Furthermore, it cannot be guaranteed that your rights as a data subject can be fully implemented and that supervisory authorities in the USA will take appropriate remedial action.

You can find out more about the data processed through the use of Google Cloud in the Privacy Policy at https://policies.google.com/privacy?h|=en.

For this purpose, the browser you are using must connect to Google’s servers. As a result, Google becomes aware that our website has been accessed via your IP address.

The use of Google Fonts is in the interest of a uniform and appealing presentation of our online offers. This constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.

Consent can be revoked at any time.

Google Maps

This site uses the map service Google Maps from the provider Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, via an API. To use the functions of Google Maps, it is necessary to save your IP address. This information is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. The provider of this site has no influence on this data transfer. If Google Maps is activated, Google may use Google Fonts for the purpose of uniform display of fonts. When you call up Google Maps, your browser loads the required web fonts into your browser cache in order to display texts and fonts correctly.

The use of Google Maps is in the interest of an appealing presentation of our online offers and to make it easy to find the places we have indicated on the website. If you have given your consent, the processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR and § 25 para. 1 TDDDG, insofar as the consent includes the storage of cookies or access to information in the user’s terminal device within the meaning of the TDDDG. Consent can be revoked at any time with effect for the future.

Zapier uses so-called standard contractual clauses (= Art. 46. para. 2 and 3 GDPR) as the basis for data processing with recipients based in third countries (outside the European Union, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, i.e. in particular in the USA) or data transfer there. Standard Contractual Clauses are templates provided by the EU Commission and are intended to ensure that your data complies with the European data protection standard even if it is transferred to third countries (such as the USA) and stored there. Through these clauses, Zapier undertakes to comply with the European level of data protection when processing your relevant data, even if the data is stored, processed and managed in the USA. These clauses are based on an implementing decision of the EU Commission. You find the decision and the corresponding standard contractual clauses here: https://eur-lex.europa.eu/eli/dec_impl/2021/914/oj?locale=de.
