The registration for our newsletter takes place in a so-called double opt-in process.

Within the scope of this retrieval, technical information, such as information about the browser and your system, as well as your IP address and the time of the retrieval are initially collected. This information is used for the technical improvement of the services on the basis of the technical data or the target groups and their reading behavior on the basis of their retrieval locations (which can be determined with the help of the IP address) or the access times in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (1) lit. f) GDPR. The statistical surveys also include the determination of whether the newsletters are opened, when they are opened and which links are clicked. This information is anonymized, a conclusion to your e-mail address is not possible. The evaluations serve us to recognize the reading habits of our users and to adapt our content to them or to send different content according to the interests of our users.

We would like to get in touch with you and other interested parties, customers and users. We use various social networks for this purpose. You can find out which individual social networks we use in the following section.

However, we would like to point out that we generally have no influence on what data is collected. As a rule, however, this is data that is used for market research and advertising purposes.

When you click on the LinkedIn logo, your browser establishes a direct connection with the LinkedIn servers.

If the plug-ins are called up on our website, a connection to the YouTube servers is established. This results in the transmission of information about which of our websites you have visited to the YouTube server. If you are logged in as a member of YouTube, it is possible for YouTube to assign this information (videos viewed and comments) to your personal user account. You can avoid the collection of your data by logging out. YouTube's privacy policy can be accessed via: https://policies.google.com/privacy.

Web Conferencing Tools

We want to make communication with prospects, customers and users easier and adapted to the current technical and practical reality. Therefore, we use conferencing tools for video and audio conferencing. You can find out which individual web conferencing tools we use in the following section.

As a rule, data is first collected that represents metadata and technical data of the users and the conferences. Metadata includes, for example, the duration of the conference, the period of participation, the number of participants or the name and/or description of the meeting. Technical data are such as the IP addresses and device as well as hardware information of the participants, such as MAC addresses, device and operating systems or information about peripheral devices and connection quality. In the case of optional participation via a cell phone, further data may be stored in addition to the telephone number. In addition, the data collected includes all data that you provide for the use of the service (in some cases also optionally). The usual data here is the name, telephone number, e-mail address and other log and profile data.

During a meeting in a web conferencing tool, video and audio data recorded by your microphone/camera, as well as any content that can be uploaded (messages in chats, surveys or similar, as well as other files such as presentation documents) can be processed, logged or displayed. When optionally using the recording function of web conferences, this data can be stored permanently, also on servers of the service providers.

However, we would like to point out that we generally have no influence on what data is collected. Accordingly, failure to provide the aforementioned data may mean that it is not possible for you to participate in the web conference. Automated decision-making will not be undertaken. Details on the processing of data by the services concerned can be found in the data protection notices of the respective services, which are designated in the following section.

We use the web conferencing tools to communicate with you in a simple, effective and direct way. The legal basis for this is our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (1) lit. f) GDPR. In the case of an existing contractual relationship, the use of such a service serves the purpose of providing a service, for which the legal basis of the processing is Art. 6 (1) (1) lit. b) GDPR. The same legal basis arises for the registration as well as the participation in an online webinar offered by us. If your consent has been obtained, the legal basis for processing the data is Art. 6 (1) (1) lit. a) GDPR and § 25 (1) TTDSG, provided that the consent within the meaning of the TTDSG relates to the setting of cookies or access to information on your terminal device. You have the right to revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future. The legality of the data processing carried out until the revocation remains unaffected.

We have no influence on the storage period of the data stored by the service providers for their own purposes. If you request us to delete the data or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies, we will delete your data unless mandatory legal provisions prevent this. Cookies stored by you remain on your terminal device until you delete them.

TeamViewer

We use the web conferencing tool TeamViewer. This is an application of TeamViewer Germany GmbH (Jahnstraße 30, 73037 Göppingen; hereinafter: "TeamViewer").
The personal data you provide will be collected and processed exclusively for the purpose of conducting external and internal video conferences as part of a contractual relationship pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (1) lit. b) GDPR.
If no contractual relationship exists, the legal basis is Art. 6 (1) (1) lit. f) GDPR. Our interest here is the effective communication and exchange of the parties involved.

The provision of your personal data is necessary for the implementation of the video conferences. If you do not provide it, you will unfortunately not be able to participate. Automated decision-making will not be carried out.
Personal data processed in connection with videoconferencing will not be disclosed to third parties as a matter of principle, unless it is specifically intended for disclosure.
You can find TeamViewer's privacy policy at: https://www.teamviewer.com/en/privacy-notice/.
