3. General information and mandatory information
Data protection
The operators of these pages take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with legal data protection regulations and this privacy policy.
When you use this website, various personal data is collected. Personal data is data that can be used to personally identify you. This privacy policy explains what data we collect and what we use it for. It also explains how and for what purpose this is done.
We would like to point out that data transmission over the Internet (e.g. when communicating by e-mail) may have security gaps. It is not possible to completely protect data from access by third parties.
Note on the responsible body
The responsible body for data processing on this website is:
Real Life Interaction GmbH
Choriner Str. 3, 10119 Berlin, Germany
Represented by:
Dr. Tassilo Ott
Dr. Volker Braun
Telephone: +49 30 120885220
email: info@real-life-interaction.de
The responsible body is the natural or legal person who, alone or together with others, decides on the purposes and means of processing personal data (e.g. names, e-mail addresses, etc.).
Storage period
Unless a specific storage period has been specified in this privacy policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for data processing no longer applies. If you make a legitimate request for deletion or withdraw your consent to data processing, your data will be deleted unless we have any other legally permissible reasons for storing your personal data (e.g. retention periods under tax or commercial law); in the latter case, the deletion will take place after these reasons cease to apply.
General information on the legal basis of data processing on this website
If you have consented to data processing, we process your personal data on the basis of Article 6 (1) (a) GDPR or Article 9 (2) (a) GDPR, provided that special categories of data are processed in accordance with Article 9 (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 Article 49 (1) (a) GDPR. If you have consented to the storage of cookies or access to information on your device (e.g. via device fingerprinting), data processing is also carried out on the basis of Section 25 (1) TTDSG. The consent can be withdrawn at any time. If your data is necessary to fulfill a contract or to carry out pre-contractual measures, we process your data on the basis of Article 6 (1) (b) GDPR. We also process your data insofar as it is necessary to fulfill a legal obligation on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c DSGVO. Data processing may also be carried out on the basis of our legitimate interest in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO. The following paragraphs of this privacy policy provide information on the relevant legal bases in each individual case.
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 secure under data protection law. If these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to and processed in these third countries. We would like to point out that no level of data protection comparable with the EU can be guaranteed in these countries. For example, US companies are required to disclose personal data to security authorities without you, as the person concerned, being able to take legal action against this. It cannot therefore be ruled out that US authorities (e.g. secret services) may process, evaluate and permanently store your data on US servers for monitoring purposes. We have no influence on these processing activities.
Withdrawal of your consent to data processing
Many data processing processes are only possible with your express consent. You can withdraw consent that you have already given at any time. The legality of the data processing carried out up to the time of revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.
Right to object to data collection in special cases and against direct marketing (Art. 21 GDPR)
IF DATA PROCESSING IS CARRIED OUT ON THE BASIS OF ART. 6 PARA. 1 LIT. E OR F DSGVO, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA AT ANY TIME FOR REASONS ARISING FROM YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING BASED ON THESE PROVISIONS. THE RESPECTIVE LEGAL BASIS ON WHICH PROCESSING IS BASED CAN BE FOUND IN THIS PRIVACY POLICY. IF YOU FILE AN OBJECTION, WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR PERSONAL DATA CONCERNED, UNLESS WE CAN PROVE COMPELLING LEGITIMATE GROUNDS FOR PROCESSING THAT OUTWEIGH YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS OR THE PROCESSING SERVES TO ASSERT, EXERCISE OR DEFEND LEGAL CLAIMS (OBJECTION UNDER ARTICLE 21 (1) GDPR).
IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA IS PROCESSED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME TO THE PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA CONCERNING YOU FOR THE PURPOSE OF SUCH ADVERTISING; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING, INSOFAR AS IT IS ASSOCIATED WITH SUCH DIRECT MARKETING. IF YOU OBJECT, YOUR PERSONAL DATA WILL THEN NO LONGER BE USED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES (OBJECTION IN ACCORDANCE WITH ARTICLE 21 (2) GDPR).
Right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority
In the event of violations of the GDPR, data subjects have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of their habitual residence, place of work or place of the alleged infringement. The right to lodge a complaint is without prejudice to other administrative or judicial remedies.
Right to data portability
You have the right to have data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfillment of a contract handed over to yourself or to a third party in a common, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of data to another person responsible, this will only be done insofar as it is technically feasible.
Information, deletion and correction
Within the framework of the applicable legal provisions, you have the right to receive information free of charge about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients and the purpose of data processing and, if applicable, a right to correct or delete this data. You can contact us at any time about this and if you have any further questions on the subject of personal data.
Right to restrict processing
You have the right to request that the processing of your personal data be restricted. You can contact us for this at any time. The right to restrict processing exists in the following cases:
- If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we usually need time to verify this. For the duration of the audit, you have the right to request that the processing of your personal data be restricted.
- If the processing of your personal data was/happens unlawfully, you can request the restriction of data processing instead of deletion.
- If we no longer need your personal data, but you need it to exercise, defend or assert legal claims, you have the right to request that the processing of your personal data be restricted instead of deletion.
- If you have filed an objection in accordance with Article 21 (1) GDPR, a balance must be made between your interests and ours. As long as it is not yet clear whose interests prevail, you have the right to request that the processing of your personal data be restricted.
If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, this data — apart from storage — may only be processed with your consent or to assert, exercise or defend legal claims or to protect the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of an important public interest of the European Union or a Member State.
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 when the browser's address line changes from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock icon in your browser line.
If SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data that you submit to us cannot be read by third parties.
Objection to promotional emails
The use of contact data published as part of the legal notice obligation to send unsolicited advertising and information material is hereby rejected. The operators of the sites expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of unsolicited sending of advertising information, such as spam emails.
4. Data collection on this website
cookies
Our websites use so-called “cookies.” Cookies are small data packets and do not cause any damage to your device. They are stored on your device either temporarily for the duration of a session (session cookies) or permanently (permanent cookies). Session cookies are automatically deleted at the end of your visit. Permanent cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them yourself or until they are automatically deleted by your web browser.
In some cases, cookies from third-party companies may also be stored on your device when you enter our site (third-party cookies). These enable us or you to use certain services provided by the third-party company (e.g. cookies to process payment services).
Cookies have various functions. Numerous cookies are technically necessary, as certain website functions would not work without them (e.g. the shopping cart function or the display of videos). Other cookies are used to evaluate user behavior or display advertising.
Cookies that are necessary to carry out the electronic communication process, to provide certain functions requested by you (e.g. for the shopping cart function) or to optimize the website (e.g. cookies to measure the web audience) (necessary cookies) are stored on the basis of Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR, unless another legal basis is provided. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing 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, processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of this consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO and § 25 para. 1 TTDSG); consent can be withdrawn at any time.
You can set your browser so that you are informed when cookies are set and only allow cookies in individual cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies for specific cases or in general, and activate the automatic deletion of cookies when you close the browser. If cookies are deactivated, the functionality of this website may be limited.
If cookies are used by third-party companies or for analysis purposes, we will inform you separately as part of this privacy policy and, if necessary, request consent.
Consent with Cookiebot
Our website uses Cookiebot's consent technology to obtain your consent to store certain cookies on your device or to use certain technologies and to document this in accordance with data protection regulations. The provider of this technology is Cybot A/S, Havnegade 39, 1058 Copenhagen, Denmark (hereinafter “Cookiebot”).
When you enter our website, a connection is made to Cookiebot's servers to obtain your consent and other explanations about cookie usage. Cookiebot then stores a cookie in your browser in order to be able to assign the consents given or their revocation to you. The data collected in this way is stored until you ask us to delete it, delete the Cookiebot cookie yourself, or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies. Mandatory legal storage obligations remain unaffected.
Cookiebot is used to obtain the legally required consent for the use of cookies. The legal basis for this is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR.
Order processing
We have concluded an order processing contract (AVV) with the above-mentioned provider. This is a contract required by data protection law, which ensures that it only processes the personal data of our website visitors in accordance with our instructions and in compliance with the GDPR.
server log files
The provider of the pages automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. These are:
- Browser type and browser version
- operating system used
- referrer URL
- host name of the accessing computer
- Time of server request
- IP address
This data is not combined with other data sources.
This data is collected on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the technically error-free presentation and optimization of his website — for this purpose, the server log files must be collected.
contact form
If you send us inquiries via the contact form, we will store your details from the enquiry form, including the contact details you provided there, for the purpose of processing the enquiry and in case of follow-up questions. We will not share this data without your consent.
This data is processed on the basis of Article 6 (1) (b) GDPR, provided that your request is related to the fulfilment of a contract or is necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective processing of inquiries addressed to us (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO) or on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR) if this has been requested; consent can be withdrawn at any time.
The data you enter in the contact form will remain with us until you request us to delete it, revoke your consent to store it or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies (e.g. after your request has been processed). Mandatory legal provisions — in particular retention periods — remain unaffected.
Request by e-mail, telephone or fax
If you contact us by email, telephone or fax, your request, including all resulting personal data (name, request), will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of processing your request. We will not share this data without your consent.
This data is processed on the basis of Article 6 (1) (b) GDPR, provided that your request is related to the fulfilment of a contract or is necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective processing of inquiries addressed to us (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO) or on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR) if this has been requested; consent can be withdrawn at any time.
The data you send us via contact requests will remain with us until you request us to delete it, revoke your consent to store it or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies (e.g. after your request has been processed). Mandatory legal provisions — in particular statutory retention periods — remain unaffected.
Registering on this website
You can register on this website to use additional features on the site. We only use the data entered for this purpose for the purpose of using the respective offer or service for which you have registered. The mandatory information requested during registration must be provided in full. Otherwise, we will refuse to register.
For important changes, such as the scope of the offer or technically necessary changes, we use the email address provided during registration to inform you in this way.
The data entered during registration is processed for the purpose of carrying out the user relationship established by registration and, if necessary, to initiate further contracts (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR).
The data collected during registration will be stored by us as long as you are registered on this website and will then be deleted. Statutory storage periods remain unaffected.
Sign up with Google
Instead of registering directly on this website, you can register with Google. The provider of this service is Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.
To sign up with Google, all you have to do is enter your Google name and password. Google will identify you and confirm your identity to our website.
If you sign in with Google, we may be able to use certain information in your account to complete your profile with us. You decide whether and what information this is as part of your Google security settings, which can be found here: https://myaccount.google.com/security and https://myaccount.google.com/permissions.
The data processing associated with Google registration is based on our legitimate interest in making the registration process as simple as possible for our users (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR). Since the use of the registration function is voluntary and users themselves can decide on the respective access options, no conflicting overriding rights of the data subjects are apparent.
5. Analysis tools and advertising
Google Tag Manager
We use Google Tag Manager. The provider is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.
Google Tag Manager is a tool that allows us to integrate tracking or statistics tools and other technologies on our website. The Google Tag Manager itself does not create user profiles, does not store cookies and does not carry out any independent analyses. It is only used to manage and play out the tools integrated via it. However, Google Tag Manager collects your IP address, which can also be transferred to Google's parent company in the United States.
Google Tag Manager is used on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO. The website operator has a legitimate interest in quickly and easily integrating and managing various tools on his website. If a corresponding consent has been requested, processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO and § 25 para. 1 TTDSG, insofar as the consent includes the storage of cookies or access to information on the user's device (e.g. device fingerprinting) within the meaning of the TTDSG. The consent can be withdrawn at any time.
Google Analytics
This website uses features of the web analysis service Google Analytics. The provider is Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.
Google Analytics enables the website operator to analyze the behavior of website visitors. Here, the website operator receives various usage data, such as page views, length of stay, operating systems used and origin of the user. This data is assigned to the user's respective device. There is no assignment to a user ID.
We can also use Google Analytics to record your mouse and scroll movements and clicks, among other things. Google Analytics also uses various modelling approaches to supplement the collected data sets and uses machine learning technologies in data analysis.
Google Analytics uses technologies that enable the user to be recognized for the purpose of analyzing user behavior (e.g. cookies or device fingerprinting). The information collected by Google about the use of this website is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there.
The use of this service is based on your consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO and § 25 para. 1 TTDSG. The consent can be withdrawn at any time.
Data transmission to the USA is based on the standard contractual clauses of the EU Commission. Details can be found here: https://privacy.google.com/businesses/controllerterms/mccs/.
IP anonymization
We have activated the IP anonymization feature on this website. As a result, your IP address is abbreviated by Google within member states of the European Union or in other states party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area before transmission to the USA. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and abbreviated there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide other services related to website activity and Internet usage to the website operator. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics is not combined with other data from Google.
Browser plugin
You can prevent Google from collecting and processing your data by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available at the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de.
More information about how Google Analytics handles user data can be found in Google's privacy policy: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245?hl=de.
Demographics in Google Analytics
This website uses the “demographic characteristics” feature of Google Analytics to be able to show website visitors suitable advertisements within the Google advertising network. As a result, reports can be created that contain statements about the age, gender and interests of site visitors. This data comes from interest-based advertising from Google and from visitor data from third parties. This data cannot be attributed to a specific person. You can deactivate this function at any time via the ad settings in your Google account or generally prohibit Google Analytics from collecting your data as described in the “Objection to data collection” section.
Order processing
We have concluded an order processing agreement with Google and fully implement the strict requirements of the German data protection authorities when using Google Analytics.
Google Optimize privacy policy
We use Google Optimize, a website optimization tool, on our website. The service provider is the American company Google Inc. For Europe, Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street Dublin 4, Ireland) is responsible for all Google services.
Google also processes data from you in the USA, among others. 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 transfer to the USA. This may involve various risks to the lawfulness and security of data processing.
As a basis for data processing by recipients based in third countries (outside the European Union, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, i.e. in particular in the USA) or for data transfer there, Google uses so-called standard contractual clauses (= Article 46, paragraphs 2 and 3 GDPR). Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) are sample templates provided by the EU Commission and are intended to ensure that your data complies with European data protection standards even if they are transferred to third countries (such as the USA) and stored there. Through these clauses, Google 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 by the EU Commission. You can find the resolution and the corresponding standard contractual clauses here, among others: https://eur-lex.europa.eu/eli/dec_impl/2021/914/oj?locale=de
The Google Ads Data Processing Terms, which refer to the standard contractual clauses, can be found at https://business.safety.google/intl/de/adsprocessorterms/.
You can find out more about the data that is processed using Google Optimize in the privacy policy at https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de.
Order Processing Agreement (AVV) Google Optimize
In accordance with Article 28 of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), we have concluded an order processing agreement (AVV) with Google. You can read exactly what an AVV is and, in particular, what must be included in an AVV in our general “Order Processing Agreement (AVV)” section.
This contract is required by law because Google processes personal data on our behalf. It clarifies that Google may only process data that they receive from us in accordance with our instructions and must comply with the GDPR. The link to the order data processing conditions can be found at https://business.safety.google/intl/de/adsprocessorterms/

Google Ads
The website operator uses Google Ads. Google Ads is an online advertising program from Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.
Google Ads allows us to display advertisements in the Google search engine or on third-party websites when the user enters certain search terms on Google (keyword targeting). In addition, targeted advertisements can be displayed based on user data available on Google (e.g. location data and interests) (target group targeting). As a website operator, we can quantitatively evaluate this data, for example by analyzing which search terms led to the display of our advertisements and how many ads led to corresponding clicks.
The use of this service is based on your consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO and § 25 para. 1 TTDSG. The consent can be withdrawn at any time.
Data transmission to the USA is based on the standard contractual clauses of the EU Commission. Details can be found here: https://policies.google.com/privacy/frameworks and https://privacy.google.com/businesses/controllerterms/mccs/.
Google Ads Remarketing
This website uses the features of Google Ads Remarketing. The provider is Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.
With Google Ads Remarketing, we can assign people who interact with our online offering to specific target groups in order to then display interest-based advertising to them in the Google advertising network (remarketing or retargeting).
In addition, the advertising target groups created with Google Ads Remarketing can be linked to Google's cross-device functions. 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. mobile phone) can also be displayed on another of your devices (e.g. tablet or PC).
If you have a Google account, you can object to personalized advertising under the following link: https://www.google.com/settings/ads/onweb/.
The use of this service is based on your consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO and § 25 para. 1 TTDSG. The consent can be withdrawn at any time.
Further information and the privacy policy can be found in Google's privacy policy at: https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads?hl=de.
Target group building with customer reconciliation
To build target groups, we use, among other things, Google Ads Remarketing customer matching. In doing so, we transfer certain customer data (e.g. email addresses) from our customer lists to Google. If the customers in question are Google users and logged into their Google account, they will be shown appropriate advertising messages within the Google network (e.g. on YouTube, Gmail or in the search engine).
Google conversion tracking
This website uses Google Conversion Tracking. The provider is Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.
With the help of Google conversion tracking, Google and we can recognize whether the user has carried out certain actions. For example, we can evaluate which buttons on our website were clicked how often and which products were viewed or purchased particularly frequently. This information is used to generate conversion statistics. We learn the total number of users who clicked on our ads and what actions they took. We do not receive any information that allows us to personally identify the user. Google itself uses cookies or comparable recognition technologies for identification.
The use of this service is based on your consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO and § 25 para. 1 TTDSG. The consent can be withdrawn at any time.
You can find more information about Google conversion tracking in Google's privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de.
Google DoubleClick
This website uses features from Google DoubleClick. The provider is Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, (hereinafter “DoubleClick”).
DoubleClick is used to show you interest-based ads across the Google advertising network. With the help of DoubleClick, the advertisements can be tailored to the interests of the respective viewer. For example, our advertising may be displayed in Google search results or in advertising banners associated with DoubleClick.
In order to be able to display interest-based advertising to users, DoubleClick must recognize the respective viewer and be able to associate the websites they have visited, clicks and other information about user behavior. DoubleClick uses cookies or comparable recognition technologies (e.g. device fingerprinting) for this purpose. The information collected is combined into a pseudonymous user profile in order to display interest-based advertising to the user concerned.
The use of this service is based on your consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO and § 25 para. 1 TTDSG. The consent can be withdrawn at any time.
For more information on options to object to advertisements displayed by Google, please see the following links: https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads and https://adssettings.google.com/authenticated.
LinkedIn Insight Day
This website uses LinkedIn's Insight Tag. The provider of this service is LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company, Wilton Plaza, Wilton Place, Dublin 2, Ireland.
Data processing through LinkedIn Insight Tag
With the help of the LinkedIn Insight Tag, we obtain information about visitors to our website. If a website visitor is registered with LinkedIn, we can, among other things, analyse the key professional data (e.g. career level, company size, country, location, industry and job title) of our website visitors and thus better tailor our site to the respective target groups. We can also use LinkedIn Insight Tags to measure whether visitors to our websites are making a purchase or other action (conversion measurement). Conversion measurement can also be carried out across devices (e.g. from PC to tablet). LinkedIn Insight Tag also offers a retargeting feature, which allows us to display targeted advertising to visitors to our website outside the website, although, according to LinkedIn, there is no identification of the advertising addressee.
LinkedIn itself also collects so-called log files (URL, referrer URL, IP address, device and browser properties and time of access). The IP addresses are truncated or (if they are used to reach LinkedIn members across devices) hashed (pseudonymized). LinkedIn members' direct IDs are deleted from LinkedIn after seven days. The remaining pseudonymized data is then deleted within 180 days.
As a website operator, we cannot assign the data collected by LinkedIn to specific individuals. LinkedIn will store the personal data collected from website visitors on its servers in the USA and use it as part of its own advertising measures. For details, see LinkedIn's privacy policy at https://www.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy#choices-oblig.
legal basis
Insofar as consent has been obtained, the above service is used exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO and § 25 TTDSG. The consent can be withdrawn at any time. Insofar as consent has not been obtained, this service is used on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO; the website operator has a legitimate interest in effective advertising measures, including social media.
Data transmission to the USA is based on the standard contractual clauses of the EU Commission. Details can be found here: https://www.linkedin.com/legal/l/dpa and https://www.linkedin.com/legal/l/eu-sccs.
Objection to the use of LinkedIn Insight Tag
Opt out of LinkedIn's analysis of user behavior and targeted advertising under the following link: https://www.linkedin.com/psettings/guest-controls/retargeting-opt-out.
LinkedIn members can also control the use of their personal data for advertising purposes in their account settings. To prevent LinkedIn from linking data collected on our website to your LinkedIn account, you must log out of your LinkedIn account before you visit our website.
Order processing
We have concluded an order processing contract (AVV) with the above-mentioned provider. This is a contract required by data protection law, which ensures that it only processes the personal data of our website visitors in accordance with our instructions and in compliance with the GDPR.

Mailchimp
This website uses Mailchimp services to send newsletters. The provider is Rocket Science Group LLC, 675 Ponce De Leon Ave NE, Suite 5000, Atlanta, GA 30308, USA.
Mailchimp is a service that, among other things, can be used to organize and analyze the sending of newsletters. If you enter data for the purpose of subscribing to the newsletter (e.g. email address), it will be stored on Mailchimp's servers in the USA.
With the help of Mailchimp, we can analyze our newsletter campaigns. When you open an email sent with Mailchimp, a file contained in the email (so-called web beacon) connects to Mailchimp's servers in the USA. This makes it possible to determine whether a newsletter message has been opened and which links have been clicked on, if any. Technical information is also collected (e.g. time of retrieval, IP address, browser type and operating system). This information cannot be assigned to the respective newsletter recipient. They are used exclusively for statistical analysis of newsletter campaigns. The results of these analyses can be used to better adapt future newsletters to the interests of recipients.
If you do not want analysis from Mailchimp, you must unsubscribe from the newsletter. For this purpose, we provide a corresponding link in every newsletter message.
Data processing is based on your consent (Article 6 (1) (a) GDPR). You can withdraw 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.
The data you provide us with for the purpose of subscribing to the newsletter will be stored by us or the newsletter service provider until you unsubscribe from the newsletter and will be deleted from the newsletter distribution list after you unsubscribe from the newsletter. Data that we have stored for other purposes remains unaffected by this.
Data transmission to the USA is based on the standard contractual clauses of the EU Commission. Details can be found here: https://mailchimp.com/eu-us-data-transfer-statement/ and https://mailchimp.com/legal/data-processing-addendum/#Annex_C_-_Standard_Contractual_Clauses.
After you unsubscribe from the newsletter distribution list, your e-mail address may be stored in a blacklist by us or the newsletter service provider, if this is necessary to prevent future mailings. The data from the blacklist is only used for this purpose and is not combined with other data. This serves both your interest and our interest in complying with legal requirements when sending newsletters (legitimate interest within the meaning of Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR). Storage in the blacklist is not limited in time. You can object to storage if your interests outweigh our legitimate interest.

7. Plug-ins and tools
Vimeo
This website uses plugins from the video portal Vimeo. The provider is Vimeo Inc., 555 West 18th Street, New York 10011, USA.
When you visit one of our pages with a Vimeo video, a connection to the Vimeo servers is established. This tells the Vimeo server which of our pages you have visited. Vimeo also receives your IP address. This applies even if you are not logged in to Vimeo or do not have an account with Vimeo. The information collected by Vimeo is transmitted to the Vimeo server in the USA.
If you are logged into your Vimeo account, you enable Vimeo to associate your browsing behavior directly with your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out of your Vimeo account.
Vimeo uses cookies or comparable recognition technologies (e.g. device fingerprinting) to recognize website visitors.
Vimeo is used in the interest of presenting our online offerings in an appealing way. This represents a legitimate interest within the meaning of Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR. If a corresponding consent has been requested, processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO and § 25 para. 1 TTDSG, insofar as the consent includes the storage of cookies or access to information on the user's device (e.g. device fingerprinting) within the meaning of the TTDSG. The consent can be withdrawn at any time.
Data transmission to the USA is based on the standard contractual clauses of the EU Commission and, according to Vimeo, on “legitimate business interests.” Details can be found here: https://vimeo.com/privacy.

Google Fonts
This site uses so-called Google Fonts, which are provided by Google, to uniformly display fonts. When you call up a page, your browser loads the required fonts into its browser cache to correctly display texts and fonts.
For this purpose, the browser you are using must connect to Google's servers. As a result, Google becomes aware that this website has been accessed via your IP address. The use of Google Fonts is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the uniform presentation of the typeface on its website. If a corresponding consent has been requested, processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO and § 25 para. 1 TTDSG, insofar as the consent includes the storage of cookies or access to information on the user's device (e.g. device fingerprinting) within the meaning of the TTDSG. The consent can be withdrawn at any time.
If your browser does not support Google Fonts, a standard font is used by your computer.
You can find more information about Google Fonts at https://developers.google.com/fonts/faq and in Google's privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de.
8. eCommerce and payment providers
Processing customer and contract data
We collect, process and use personal customer and contract data to establish, structure and change our contractual relationships. We collect, process and use personal data about the use of this website (usage data) only to the extent necessary to enable or bill the user to use the service. The legal basis for this is Article 6 (1) (b) GDPR.
The collected customer data will be deleted after completion of the order or termination of the business relationship and expiry of any existing legal retention periods. Statutory storage periods remain unaffected.
9. Own services
Handling applicant data
We offer you the opportunity to apply to us (e.g. by e-mail, post or via online application form). In the following, we will inform you about the scope, purpose and use of your personal data collected as part of the application process. We assure that your data will be collected, processed and used in accordance with applicable data protection law and all other legal regulations and that your data will be kept strictly confidential.
Scope and purpose of data collection
If you send us an application, we process your associated personal data (e.g. contact and communication data, application documents, notes during job interviews, etc.) insofar as this is necessary to decide whether to establish an employment relationship. The legal basis for this is § 26 BDSG under German law (initiation of an employment relationship), Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b DSGVO (general contract initiation) and — if you have given consent — Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. The consent can be withdrawn at any time. Within our company, your personal data will only be shared with people who are involved in processing your application.
If the application is successful, the data you submit will be stored in our data processing systems on the basis of § 26 BDSG and Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b DSGVO for the purpose of carrying out the employment relationship.
Data storage period
If we are unable to make you a job offer, you reject a job offer or withdraw your application, we reserve the right to store the data you have provided with us for up to 6 months from the end of the application process (rejection or withdrawal of the application) on the basis of our legitimate interests (Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR). The data is then deleted and the physical application documents are destroyed. In particular, storage serves as evidence in the event of a legal dispute. If it is apparent that the data will be required after the 6-month period has elapsed (e.g. due to an impending or pending legal dispute), the data will only be deleted when the purpose for further storage no longer applies.
Longer storage may also take place if you have given appropriate consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR) or if legal storage obligations preclude deletion.
Inclusion in the applicant pool
If we do not make you a job offer, it may be possible to include you in our pool of applicants. If accepted, all documents and information from the application will be added to the pool of applicants in order to contact you in case of suitable vacancies.
Inclusion in the pool of applicants is based exclusively on your express consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR). The submission of consent is voluntary and has no connection with the ongoing application process. The person concerned can withdraw their consent at any time. In this case, the data will be irrevocably deleted from the applicant pool, provided that there are no legal storage reasons.
The data from the applicant pool will be irrevocably deleted no later than two years after consent has been given.
