The statutory provisions on data protection are set out in the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). The Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG) and the Telemedia Act (TMG) apply as supplementary regulations.

Personal data includes, for example, the user's name, address, or date of birth (cf. Art. 4 GDPR). This information is collected and processed on the website only in accordance with the statutory data protection provisions.

Access Data
Based on a legitimate interest, the site operator collects the following data: 

  • Target website
  • Time of access
  • Amount of data transmitted
  • Referring page
  • Browser used
  • Operating system used
  • IP address

 This data is stored for a maximum of 7 days and then deleted. Storage serves security purposes, enabling the tracking and investigation of misuse. Should such a case occur, the affected data may remain stored until the incident has been resolved. 

 Contact Form and Email Contact 

Our website, as well as the connected page of the online tool "DigiScan," contains contact forms that can be used to get in touch with us electronically. If a user makes use of this option, the data entered in the input form is transmitted to us in encrypted form and stored. This data includes: name, telephone number, email address, and the information you as a user enter as text in connection with your inquiry. At the time the message is sent, the IP address as well as the date and time of sending are also stored. The legal basis for the processing of data transmitted in connection with sending an email is Art. 6 (1) lit. a, b, and f GDPR.

The processing of the personal data from the input form serves solely to handle the contact request. In the case of contact via email, this also constitutes the necessary legitimate interest in the processing of the data.

The other personal data processed during the sending process serves to prevent misuse of the contact form and to ensure the security of our information technology systems.

The data is deleted as soon as it is no longer required to achieve the purpose for which it was collected. For the personal data from the contact form's input fields and that sent via email, this is the case once the respective conversation with the user has ended. The conversation is deemed to have ended when it can be inferred from the circumstances that the matter in question has been conclusively resolved.

 

 Social Media Buttons 

 Our website links via simple HTML links to Facebook, LinkedIn, Xing, and Google Plus. We do not use social media plugins. Simply viewing our website without clicking on the social media buttons does not result in any data being transmitted to the operators of the social media platforms. Only when you click on the respective social media button does your browser establish a direct connection with the respective operator of the social media platform. We have no influence over the data queried by the operator of the social media platform for the functioning of the features it provides. If you are logged into the respective social media platform when clicking the social media button, the respective operator may be able to associate your visit to this website with your user account. For information on the purpose and scope of data collection by the respective operator of the social media platform, as well as the further processing and use of the data by the operator, and your related rights and options for protecting your privacy, please refer to the privacy policy of the respective operator of the social media platform. 

 Collection and Processing of Personal Data 

Personal data collected by the operator in the course of using the website is not passed on to third parties. Here, too, the data subject rights of erasure, correction, etc. apply.

When the site is used anonymously, only non-personal data is stored and used to improve the online offering. Tracing this data back to an individual is not possible.

 

Cookies

Cookies are used to improve the user-friendliness of the website. They make it easier for users who visit the website repeatedly to access it. Cookies are small files that are transferred from the user's browser to their computer and stored there. This recognition is possible because the cookies also transmit the IP address.

Users are not required to allow this, as browsers offer options to disable or at least restrict the storage of cookies. In this context, it should be noted that this may result in the full functionality of the website not being available.

 Right of Information/Erasure/Withdrawal 

 The General Data Protection Regulation entitles the user to obtain information free of charge from the website operator regarding which personal data is stored. Furthermore, the user is entitled to arrange for the deletion of existing data, or the blocking or correction of incorrect data, provided that no statutory retention obligation applies.
