1. Introduction

We would like to use the information below to provide you "data subject" with an overview of our processing of your personal data and your rights under data protection law. It is generally possible to use our website without entering personal data. However, if you wish to make use of special services offered by our company through our website, it may be necessary to process personal data.

As the data controller, we have implemented numerous technical and organisational measures to ensure the most complete possible protection of the personal data processed via this website. Nevertheless, Internet-based data transmissions can in principle have security gaps so that absolute protection cannot be guaranteed.

4. Definitions

This Privacy Notice is based on the terminology used by the European legislature and legislature in the adoption of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Our privacy policy should be easy to read and understand, both for the public and for our customers and business partners. To ensure this, we would like to explain in advance the terminology used. Among other things, we use the following terms in this privacy policy.

 

We use the following terms in this Privacy Notice, among others:

 

1. Personal data

Personal data means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. 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.

 

1. Data subject

A Data subject is any identified or identifiable natural person whose personal data is processed by the controller (our company).

 

3. Processing

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

 

4. Restriction of processing

Restriction of processing is the marking of stored personal data with the aim of limiting their future processing.

 

1. Profiling

Profiling is any form of automated processing of personal data which consists in using such personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to analyse or predict aspects relating to that natural person's performance at work, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behaviour, location or change of location.

 

6. Pseudonymisation

Pseudonymisation 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 organisational measures which ensure that the personal data cannot be attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.

 

7. Data processor

Data processor means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which processes personal data on behalf of the controller.

 

8. Recepient

A recipient is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or other body to whom personal data are disclosed, whether a third party or not. However, public authorities that may receive personal data in the context of a specific investigative task under Union or Member State law shall not be considered as recipients.

 

9. Third party

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

 

10. Consent

Consent means any freely given specific and informed indication of the data subject's wishes in the form of a statement or other unambiguous affirmative act by which the data subject signifies his or her agreement to the processing of personal data relating to him or her.

 

5. Legal basis for processing

Art. 6 (1) lit. a) GDPR (icw § 25 (1) Telecommunications Digital Services Data Protection Act (TDDDG) (formerly TTDSG)) serves our company as the legal basis for processing operations where we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose.

 

If the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which you are a party, as is the case, for example, with processing operations that are necessary for the delivery of goods or the provision of another service or consideration, the processing is based on Art. 6 (1) lit. b) GDPR. The same applies to processing operations that are necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures, for example in the case of enquiries about our products or services.

 

If our company is subject to a legal obligation by which the processing of personal data becomes necessary, such as for the fulfilment of tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6 (1) lit. c) GDPR.

 

In rare cases, the processing of personal data might become necessary to protect vital interests of the data subject or another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor were to be injured on our premises and as a result their name, age, health insurance data or other vital information had to be passed on to a doctor, hospital or other third party. In this case, the processing would be based on Art. 6 (1) lit. d) GDPR.

 

Finally, processing operations could be based on Art. 6 (1) lit. f) GDPR. Processing operations which are not covered by any of the aforementioned legal bases are based on this legal basis if the processing is necessary for the protection of a legitimate interest of our company or a third party, provided that the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not overweigh. We are permitted to carry out such processing operations in particular because they have been specifically mentioned by the European law. In this respect, the legislature took the view that a legitimate interest could be assumed if you are a customer of our company (Recital 47, Sentence 2 GDPR)..

 

Our offer is inherently aimed at adults. Persons under 16 years of age may not transmit any personal data to us without the consent of their parents or legal guardians. We do not request personal data from children and adolescents, do not collect it and do not pass it on to third parties.

 

6. Technology

6.1 SSL/TLS-encryption

This site uses SSL or TLS encryption to guarantee the security of data processing and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders, login data or contact enquiries that you send to us as the operator. You can recognise an encrypted connection by the fact that the address bar of the browser contains a "https://" instead of a "http://" and by the lock symbol in your browser bar.

 

We use this technology to protect your transmitted data.

 

7. Cookies

7.1 General information about cookies

We use cookies on our website. Cookies are small files that are automatically created by your browser and stored on your IT system (laptop, tablet, smartphone or similar) when you visit our website.

 

Information generated from the specific device used is stored in cookies. This does not mean, however, that we will gain immediate knowledge of your identity.

 

The use of cookies helps us make it more convenient for you to use our website. For example, we use session cookies to detect whether you have already visited individual pages on our website. These are erased automatically when you leave our website.

 

In addition, we also use temporary cookies to optimise user-friendliness, which are stored on your end device for a specific period of time. If you visit our site again to use our services, it is automatically recognised that you have already been with us and which entries and settings you have made so that you do not have to enter them again.

 

We also use cookies to statistically record the use of our website and to evaluate our offer for you for the purpose of optimisation. These cookies enable us to automatically recognise that you have already visited our website when you visit it again. The cookies set in this way are automatically deleted after a defined period of time. The respective storage period of the cookies can be found in the settings of the consent tool used.

 

7.2 Legal basis for the use of cookies

The data processed by the cookies, which are required for the proper functioning of the website, are thus necessary to protect our legitimate interests as well as those of third parties in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. f) GDPR.

 

For all other cookies, the following applies: You have given your consent to this within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) lit. a) GDPR via our opt-in cookie banner.

 

7.3 Usercentrics (Consent Management Tool)

We use the Consent Management Tool "Usercentrics" of Usercentrics GmbH, Sendlinger Str. 7, 80331 Munich, Germany. This service allows us to obtain and manage the consent of website users for data processing.

 

Usercentrics collects data generated by end users who use our website. When an end user provides consent, Usercentrics automatically logs the following data:

 

• Browser information,
• Device information,
• The URL of the visited website,
• Geographic location (Banner language),
• The consent status of the end user, which serves as proof of consent. dient.

 

The consent status is also stored in the end user's browser so that the website can automatically read and follow the end user's consent in all subsequent page requests and future end user sessions for up to 12 months. Consent data (consent and withdrawal of consent) is stored for three years. The retention period corresponds to the regular limitation period according to § 195 of the German Civil Code (Bürgerliches Gesetzbuch [BGB]). The data is then deleted immediately or passed on to the responsible person in the form of a data export upon request.

 

The functionality of the website is not guaranteed without the described processing. There is no possibility of objection for the user as long as there is a legal obligation to obtain the user's consent to certain data processing operations (Art. 7 (1), 6 (1) lit. c) GDPR).

 

Usercentrics is a recipient of your personal data and acts as a processor for us.

8.1 Registration as a user

You have the option of registering on our website by providing personal data.

 

Which personal data is transmitted to us in this process can be seen from the respective input mask used for registration. The personal data you enter is collected and stored exclusively for internal use by us and for our own purposes. We may arrange for data to be passed on to one or more data processors, for example a parcel service provider, who will also use the personal data exclusively for an internal use attributable to us.

 

By registering on our website, the IP address assigned by your internet service provider (ISP), the date and the time of registration are also stored. This is done only for the purpose of preventing our services from being misused. If necessary, this data may be used to clarify the situation surrounding any crimes committed. In this respect, the storage of this data is necessary for our protection. As a matter of principle, this data is not disclosed to third parties. This does not apply if we are legally obliged to pass on the data or if the data is passed on for the purpose of criminal prosecution.

 

Your registration, including voluntary provision of personal data, also serves us to offer you content or services which, due to the nature of the matter, can only be offered to registered users. Registered persons are free to change the personal data provided during registration at any time or to have it completely erased from our database.

 

Upon request, we will provide you at any time with information about which personal data is stored about you. Furthermore, we will correct or delete personal data at your request, insofar as this does not conflict with any statutory retention obligations. A data protection officer named in this Privacy Policy and all other employees are available to the data subject as contact persons in this context.

 

The processing of your data is in the interest of a convenient and easy use of our website. This constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) lit. f) GDPR.

 

8.2 Data processing when opening a customer account and for contract execution

Pursuant to Art. 6 (1) lit. b) GDPR, personal data is collected and processed if you provide it to us for the execution of a contract or when opening a customer account. Which data is collected can be seen from the respective input forms. Deletion of your customer account is possible at any time and can be done by sending a message to the above address of the person responsible. We store and use the data provided by you for the purpose of processing the contract. After complete execution of the contract or deletion of your customer account, your data will be blocked taking into account tax and commercial law retention periods and deleted after expiry of these periods, unless you have expressly consented to further use of your data or we are legally permitted to the further use of your data, about which we inform you accordingly below.

 

8.3 Data processing for order handling

The personal data collected by us will be passed on to the transport company commissioned with the delivery as part of the contract execution, insofar as this is necessary for the delivery of the goods.

8.4 Application Management / job exchange

We collect and process the personal data of applicants for the purpose of processing the application procedure. The processing may also take place electronically. This is particularly the case if an applicant submits the relevant application documents to us electronically, for example by e-mail or via a web form on the website. If we conclude an employment or service contract with an applicant, the transmitted data will be stored for the purpose of processing the employment relationship in compliance with the statutory provisions. If we do not conclude a contract with the applicant, the application documents are automatically deleted two months after notification of the rejection decision, provided that no other legitimate interests on our part oppose deletion. Another legitimate interest in this sense is, for example, a duty to provide evidence in proceedings under the German Equal Treatment Act (Allgemeines Gleichbehandlungsgesetz [AGG]).

 

The legal basis for processing your data is Art. 6 (1) lit. b) GDPR, Art. 88 GDPR icw § 26 (1) German Federal Data Protection Act (Bundesdatenschutzgesetz [BDSG]).

 

9. Newsletters

On our website you are given the opportunity to subscribe to our company newsletter. What personal data is transmitted to us when ordering the newsletter, is determined by the input mask used for this purpose.

 

We use our newsletter to regularly communicate our offers to our customers and business partners. You can, therefore, only receive our company?s newsletter if

 

1. You have a valid e-mail address and
2. You have registered for newsletter delivery.

 

For legal reasons, a confirmation e-mail will be sent to the e-mail address that you entered for the first time for the newsletter dispatch using the double opt-in procedure. This confirmation e-mail is used to verify that you, as the owner of the e-mail address, have authorized the receipt of the newsletter.

 

When you register for the newsletter, we also store the IP address assigned by your Internet service provider (ISP) of the IT system used by you 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 the (possible) misuse of your e-mail address at a later date and therefore serves our legal protection.

 

The personal data collected in the context of a registration for the newsletter will be used exclusively for sending our newsletter. Furthermore, subscribers to the newsletter could be informed by e-mail if this is necessary for the operation of the newsletter service or a related registration, as could be the case in the event of changes to the newsletter offer or changes in technical circumstances. No personal data collected as part of the newsletter service will be passed on to third parties. The subscription to our newsletter can be cancelled by you at any time. The consent to the storage of personal data that you have given us for the newsletter dispatch can be revoked at any time. For the purpose of revoking the consent, you will find a corresponding link in each newsletter. Furthermore, it is also possible to unsubscribe from the newsletter mailing directly on our website at any time or to inform us of this in another way.

 

The legal basis for data processing for the purpose of sending newsletters is Art. 6 (1) lit. a) GDPR.

This website uses CleverReach to send newsletters. The provider is CleverReach GmbH & Co. KG, (CRASH Building), Schafjückenweg 2, 26180 Rastede. CleverReach is a service with which the newsletter dispatch can be organized and analyzed. The data you enter for the purpose of receiving the newsletter (e.g. the e-mail address) is stored on the servers of CleverReach in Germany or Ireland.

 

Our newsletters sent with CleverReach allow us to analyze the behavior of newsletter recipients. Here, among other things, it can be analyzed how many recipients have opened the newsletter message and how often which link in the newsletter was clicked. With the help of so-called conversion tracking, it can also be analyzed whether a predefined action (e.g. the purchase of a product on our website) has taken place after clicking on the link in the newsletter. For more information on data analysis by CleverReach newsletter, please visit: https://www.cleverreach.com/de/funktionen/reporting-und-tracking/.

 

The data processing is based on your consent (Art. 6 (1) lit. a) GDPR). You can revoke this consent at any time by unsubscribing from the newsletter. The legality of the data processing operations already carried out remains unaffected by the revocation.

 

If you do not want any analysis by CleverReach, you must unsubscribe from the newsletter. For this purpose, we provide a corresponding link in each newsletter message. Furthermore, you can also unsubscribe directly on the website.

 

You can revoke the consent you have given at any time. You can also prevent the processing at any time by unsubscribing from the newsletter. You can also prevent the storage of cookies by setting your web browser accordingly. You can also prevent the storage and transmission of personal data by disabling JavaScript in your web browser or installing a JavaScript blocker (e.g. https://noscript.net or https://www.ghostery.com). We would like to point out that these measures may mean that not all functions of our website are available.

 

The data you provide for the purpose of receiving the newsletter will be stored by us until you unsubscribe from the newsletter and will be deleted from our servers as well as from the servers of CleverReach after you unsubscribe from the newsletter.

10. Our activities in social networks

To allow us to communicate with you on social networks and inform you about our services, we run our own pages on these social networks. If you visit one of our social media pages, we and the provider of the social media network are joint controllers (Art. 26 GDPR) regarding to the processing operations triggered thereby, which concern personal data.

 

We are not the original provider of these pages, but only use them within the scope of the options offered to us by the respective providers

We would therefore like to point out as a precautionary measure that your data may also be processed outside of the European Union or the European Economic Area. Use of these networks may therefore involve data protection risks for you since the protection of your rights may be difficult, e.g. your rights to information, erasure, objection, etc. Processing on social networks frequently takes place directly for advertising purposes or for the analysis of user behaviour by network providers, and we have no control over this. If the provider creates user profiles, cookies are often used or user behaviour may be assigned directly to your own member profile on the respective social network (if you are logged in).

 

The processing operations of personal data described are carried out in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. f) GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interests and the legitimate interests of the respective provider in order to communicate with you in a timely manner or to inform you about our services. If you have to grant your consent to the respective providers to process your data as a user, the legal basis for this processing is Art. 6 (1) lit. a) GDPR in conjunction with Art. 7 GDPR.

 

Since we have no access to these providers? databases, we would like to point out that you would be best placed to exercise your rights (e.g. to information, rectification, erasure, etc.) directly with the respective provider. More information on the processing of your data on social networks and your options for exercising your right to object or your right of revocation (opt out) is listed below for each of the social network providers we use:

When you visit the website, the following data may be processed by the meta pixel:

 

• IP address,
• Device information,
• Browsing history,

12.5 Google Analytics Remarketing

We have integrated Google Remarketing services on this website. The company operating the Google Remarketing services is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

The purpose of Google Remarketing is the display of interest-relevant advertising. Google Remarketing enables us to display advertisements via the Google advertising network or to have them displayed on other Internet pages, which are tailored to the individual needs and interests of Internet users.

 

Google Remarketing sets a cookie on the IT system of the data subject.

Google AdSense is an online service that enables the placement of advertisements on third-party websites. Google AdSense is based on an algorithm that selects the advertisements displayed on third-party sites to match the content of the respective third-party site. Google AdSense allows interest-based targeting of Internet users, which is implemented by generating individual user profiles.

 

The purpose of the Google AdSense component is to integrate advertisements on our website. Google-AdSense sets a cookie on your IT system. By setting the cookie, Alphabet Inc, 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA, is enabled to analyze the use of our website. By each call of one of the individual pages of this website, which is operated by us and on which a Google AdSense component has been integrated, the internet browser on your IT system is automatically caused by the respective Google AdSense component to transmit data to Alphabet Inc. for the purpose of online advertising and the settlement of commissions. Within the scope of this technical procedure, Alphabet Inc. obtains knowledge of personal data, such as your IP address, which Alphabet Inc. uses, among other things, to trace the origin of visitors and clicks and subsequently to enable commission settlements.

 

Google AdSense also uses so-called tracking pixels. A tracking pixel is a miniature graphic that is embedded in Internet pages to enable log file recording and log file analysis, whereby a statistical evaluation can be performed. By means of the embedded tracking pixel, Alphabet Inc. can recognize whether and when an Internet page was opened by your IT system and which links you clicked on. Among other things, tracking pixels are used to evaluate the flow of visitors to a website.

 

Via Google AdSense, personal data and information, which also includes the IP address and is necessary for the collection and billing of the displayed advertisements, is transferred to Alphabet Inc. in the United States of America. This personal data is stored and processed in the United States of America. Alphabet Inc. may disclose this personal data collected via the technical process to third parties.

 

These processing operations are carried out exclusively when explicit consent is given in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. a) GDPR .

 

The parent company Google LLC is certified as a US company under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework. There is hereby an adequacy decision pursuant to Art. 45 GDPR, so that a transfer of personal data may also take place without further guarantees or additional measures.

13.3 Google Ads with Conversion-Tracking

We have integrated Google Ads on this website. The operating company of the Google Ads services is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. Google Ads is an Internet advertising service that allows advertisers to place ads both in Google's search engine results and in the Google advertising network. Google Ads allows an advertiser to specify certain keywords in advance, by means of which an ad is displayed in Google's search engine results exclusively when the user retrieves a keyword-relevant search result using the search engine. In the Google advertising network, the ads are distributed on topic-relevant websites by means of an automatic algorithm and in compliance with the previously defined keywords.

 

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

 

If you access our website via a Google ad, a so-called conversion cookie is stored on your IT system by Google. A conversion cookie loses its validity after thirty days and is not used to identify you. If the cookie has not yet expired, the conversion cookie is used to track whether certain sub-pages, for example the shopping cart of an online store system, have been called up on our website. Through the conversion cookie, both we and Google can track whether a user has reached our website via an AdWords ad, generated a turnover, i.e. completed or cancelled a purchase of goods.

 

The data and information collected through the use of the conversion cookie are used by Google to create visit statistics for our website. These visit statistics are in turn used by us to determine the total number of users who were referred to us via ads, i.e. 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 advertisers of Google Ads receive information from Google by means of which you could be identified.

 

By means of the conversion cookie, personal information, for example the Internet pages visited by you, is stored. Each time you visit our website, personal data, including the IP address of the internet connection you use, is transmitted to Google in the United States of America. This personal data is stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may pass on these personal data collected via the technical procedure to third parties.

On this website, components of the company Getty Images have been integrated. The operating company of the Getty Images components is Getty Images International, 1st Floor, The Herbert Building, The Park, Carrickmines, Dublin 18, Ireland. Getty Images International is part of the Getty Images group of companies with headquarters at 605 5th Avenue South Suite 400 Seattle, Washington 98104, USA.

 

Getty Images is an American stock photo agency that offers images and other visual material. Through a stock photo agency, various customers, in particular website operators, editorial departments of print and TV media and advertising agencies, license the images they use.

 

Getty Images allows the embedding of images (possibly free of charge). Embedding is the integration of a certain foreign content (text, video or image data) which is provided by another website and then appears on the own website. For embedding, a so-called embedding code is used. If an embedding code has been integrated by an Internet site operator, the external content of the other Internet site is displayed immediately by default as soon as an Internet site is visited. Getty Images provides more information about embedding content at the link https://www.gettyimages.de/resources/embed.

 

Through the technical implementation of the embed code that enables the display of images from Getty Images, your IP address is transmitted to Getty Images.

By using this service, for example, our location can be displayed to you and a possible approach can be facilitated.

 

Already when calling up those sub-pages in which the map of Google Maps is integrated, information about your use of our website (such as your IP address) is transmitted to Google servers in the USA and stored there, as long as you have given your consent within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) lit. a) GDPR. In addition, Google Maps reloads the Google Web Fonts and Google Photo (as well as google stats). The provider of these services is also Google Ireland Limited. When you call up a page that embeds Google Maps, your browser loads the web fonts and photos required to display Google Maps into your browser cache. Also for this purpose, the browser you are using establishes a connection to Google's servers. Through this, Google obtains knowledge that our website was accessed via your IP address. This occurs regardless of whether Google provides a user account through which you are logged in or whether no user account exists. If you are logged in to Google, your data will be directly assigned to your account. If you do not want the assignment with your profile at Google, you must log out of your Google user account. Google stores your data (even for users who are not logged in) as usage profiles and evaluates them. You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles, and to exercise this right you must contact Google as follows.

 

If you do not agree to the future transmission of your data to Google in the context of the use of Google Maps, you also have the option of completely disabling the Google Maps web service by turning off the JavaScript application in your browser.

14.8 Slideshare

We have integrated SlideShare components on our website. The operating company of SlideShare is LinkedIn Corporation, 1000 W. Maude Avenue, Sunnyvale, CA 94085, USA. For privacy issues outside the USA, LinkedIn Ireland, Privacy Policy Issues, Wilton Plaza, Wilton Place, Dublin 2, Ireland, is responsible.

 

LinkedIn SlideShare is a file hosting service that allows users to share and archive presentations and other documents such as PDF files, videos, and webinars. The file-hosting service allows users to upload media content in all popular formats, and documents can either be made publicly available or private-tagged.

 

LinkedIn SlideShare provides so-called embed codes for the media content stored there (presentations, PDF files, videos, photos, etc.). Embed codes are program codes that are embedded in Internet pages with the aim of displaying external content on the user's own Internet page. They make it possible to reproduce content on a user's own website without having to store it on the user's own server and thereby possibly violating the reproduction rights of the respective author of the content. Another advantage of using an embed code is that the respective operator of an Internet page does not use its own storage space and its own server is thereby relieved. An embed code can be integrated at any place of another internet page, so that an external content can also be inserted within the own text. The purpose of using LinkedIn SlideShare is to relieve the load on our server and to avoid copyright infringements when using external content at the same time.

 

Whenever our website is accessed that is equipped with a SlideShare component (embed codes), this component causes the browser you are using to download corresponding embedded data from SlideShare. As part of this technical procedure, LinkedIn receives knowledge of which specific subpage of our website is visited by the data subject.

 

If you are logged in to SlideShare at the same time, SlideShare recognizes which specific subpage you are visiting with each call to our website and for the entire duration of the respective stay on our website. This information is collected by SlideShare and assigned to your SlideShare account by LinkedIn.

 

This US company is certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework. This constitutes an adequacy decision pursuant to Art. 45 GDPR, meaning that personal data may be transferred without further guarantees or additional measures.

 

LinkedIn always receives information about your visit to our website via the SlideShare component if you are logged into SlideShare at the same time as you call up our website; this takes place regardless of whether you click on the embedded media data or not. If you do not want this information to be transmitted to LinkedIn, you can prevent the transmission by logging out of your SlideShare account before accessing our website.

 

LinkedIn further uses partners such as Quantcast, Google Analytics, BlueKai, DoubleClick, Nielsen, Comscore, Eloqua and Lotame, which may set cookies. Such cookies can be rejected under: https://www.linkedin.com/legal/cookie-policy abgelehnt werden.

 

These processing operations are carried out exclusively when explicit consent is given in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. a) GDPR.

 

Additional information on the service can be found at the following link: https://www.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy.

 

 

14.9 Vimeo (Videos)

On our website, plugins of the video portal Vimeo of Vimeo, LLC, 555 West 18th Street, New York, New York 10011, USA are integrated. When you call up a page of our website that contains such a plugin, your browser establishes a direct connection to the servers of Vimeo. The content of the plugin is transmitted by Vimeo directly to your browser and integrated into the page. Through this integration, Vimeo receives the information that your browser has accessed the corresponding page of our website, even if you do not have a Vimeo account or are not currently logged in to Vimeo. This information (including your IP address) is transmitted from your browser directly to a Vimeo server in the USA and stored there.

 

If you are logged in to Vimeo, Vimeo can directly assign the visit to our website to your Vimeo account. If you interact with the plugins (such as pressing the start button of a video), this information is also transmitted directly to a server of Vimeo and stored there.

 

If you do not want Vimeo to directly assign the data collected via our website to your Vimeo account, you must log out of Vimeo before visiting our website.

 

For videos from Vimeo that are embedded on our site, the tracking tool Google Analytics is automatically integrated. This is a separate tracking of Vimeo, to which we have no access and which can not be influenced by our site. Google Analytics uses so-called "cookies" for tracking. These are text files that are stored on your computer and enable an analysis of your use of the website. The information generated by the cookie about your use of the website will be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States.

 

These processing operations are carried out exclusively when explicit consent is given in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. a) GDPR.
