2. Automatic data processing on this website

When you visit our website, the information transferred to us by your browser is automatically stored in our server log files. This includes:

–    IP-address of the accessing computer,

–    time and date of the server request,

–    browser type/ -version, *

–    operating system used, *

–    referrer URL (the website previously visited). *

*We will store this data only if your browser transmits it to us.

The server log files can be used for security purposes on the one hand, e.g. to avoid overloading the servers, and on the other hand to ensure the utilization of the servers and their stability. The temporary storage of the IP address by the system is furthermore necessary to enable delivery of the website to your computer altogether. The legal basis for the temporary storage of this data is Section 25 Para. 2 No. 2 TTDSG. The data is deleted as soon as it is no longer required to achieve the purpose for which it was collected.

3. Establishing contact

When contacting us (e.g. by contact form, email, telephone or via social media), we process your information for the purpose of processing the contact request and its handling. 

If you have given us your consent for this, the legal basis for the processing of this data is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. Otherwise, the legal basis for the processing of this data is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR, in particular in the event that the data is transmitted to us by you by sending an e-mail. Insofar as you wish to work towards the conclusion of a contract by contacting us, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR represents an additional legal basis.

If we provide a contact form on our website, the data you enter in the input mask will be transmitted to us and stored, e.g. name and e-mail address. The data is used exclusively to respond to your inquiries. This is also our legitimate interest in processing your personal data. Unless explicitly stated in the contact form, the data will not be passed on to third parties. In addition, we record your IP address at the time of sending.

Your information may also be temporarily stored in a customer relationship management system ("CRM system") or comparable inquiry organization.

Subject to legal retention periods, the data will be deleted as soon as we have finally processed your inquiry.

4. Services requiring log-in

4.1 General information

If you would like to access the (personalized and/or paid) content features and services offered on the website, we may require further information from you in order to provide this service and for billing purposes, if necessary. 

Most notably, this shall include your name, your (valid) e-mail address, and further particulars (address, telephone number, etc.), which enables us, for example, to check that you are the owner of the e-mail address provided or that the owner thereof agrees to receive the relevant services, in order to be able to supply the desired services and, if applicable, in order to properly render accounts.

Entry of a valid e-mail address is required in order for us to prevent misuse of registration procedures - in the case of newsletters, for example. We therefore rely on the so-called "double opt-in" process, in which you, after entering your e-mail address on our websites, are sent a confirmation e-mail to act as authentication of your registration and in which you are required to verify your e-mail address by clicking a confirmation link. Additionally, you may, when signing up/logging in to our services, provide us with further information - going beyond that required for the rendering of the service (such as sector, occupational group, age, etc.) - on a voluntary basis by entering this in the appropriate fields or boxes.

The legal foundation for processing the data is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR, provided you have given your consent. If the registration is required for contractual performance or for taking steps in the precontractual phase, the legal foundation for processing the data is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR. 

Data processing is furthermore done based on our legitimate interests in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR to efficiently handle and process your orders, process any inquiries, align services more closely to the needs of users, for product information and advertising purposes, and also for customer relations purposes.

The data is deleted as soon as it is no longer required for achieving the purpose for its collection. Statutory or contractual requirements for storage of contract partners' personal data may be in effect also after contract expires. In such case, there is no right to delete the data; limitations on data processing may be in effect.

You can cancel the receipt of our newsletter at any time, i.e. revoke your consent or object to further receipt. You will find a link to cancel the newsletter either at the end of each newsletter or you can use one of the contact options listed above.

4.2 Whitepaper

We provide whitepapers for download on this website. The provision of a whitepaper is associated with a high economic effort. Therefore, you can only obtain a whitepaper in return for providing various personal data in connection with an advertising consent. The specific types of data to be provided can be found in the registration form as well as the scope of the consent that you submit when downloading the corresponding whitepaper.

In this context we also process your data for advertising purposes. The legal basis for the processing of the data is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR, if you have given your consent. The provision of your data is not required by law or contract. Failure to provide it means that you will not be able to download the whitepaper.

We may also transfer your data to advertising partners for use for advertising purposes. Please refer to the scope of the declaration of consent that you provide when registering for the webinar to find out whether and to whom such a transfer takes place.

The data will be deleted by us as soon as it is no longer required to achieve the purpose of its processing, but at the latest after revocation of your consent, unless there is a legitimate interest in its continued storage.

4.3 Webinars

You have the option to register for webinars on our website. When you register for a webinar, we collect certain data to enable you to participate in the webinar.

The provision of a webinar is associated with a high economic effort. Therefore, you can only participate in a webinar in return for providing various personal data, possibly combined with an advertising consent. Please refer to the registration form for the specific types of data to be provided, as well as the scope of the declaration of consent that you provide when registering for the relevant webinar.

In this context, we also process your data for advertising purposes. The legal basis for the processing of the data is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR if you have given your consent. The provision of your data is neither legally nor contractually required. Not providing it will result in you not being able to participate in the webinar.

We may also transfer your data to advertising partners for use for advertising purposes. Please refer to the scope of the declaration of consent that you provide when registering for the webinar to find out whether and to whom such a transfer takes place.

The data will be deleted by us as soon as it is no longer required to achieve the purpose of its processing, but at the latest after revocation of your consent, unless there is a legitimate interest in its continued storage.

For this 'remarketing', Google will directly run a code and integrate invisible (re)marketing tags in the website directly when our website and others, at which the Google advertising network is installed, are visited.

(Re)marketing tags are invisible graphics or codes also called 'web beacons'. These are individual cookies stored in your device.

However, if you have explicitly consented to Google processing your data without pseudonymization, Google will be able to unambiguously identify you.

For this purpose, the LinkedIn Insight tag, a small JavaScript code snippet, is embedded on our website, which helps us to create detailed campaign reports and gain valuable information about our website visitors. We use the LinkedIn Insight tag to track conversions, retarget our website visitors, and gain additional information about LinkedIn members who watch our ads. Using this technology, we can, for example, display interest-specific and relevant offers and recommendations to you on LinkedIn based on what services, information, and offers you have checked out on our website. We also may be able to generate anonymous reports on the performance of the advertisements as well as website interaction information.

The LinkedIn Insight Tag creates a cookie that collects the following data: URL, referrer URL, IP address, device and browser characteristics (user agent), as well as timestamps and page views. IP addresses are shortened or (if used to reach members across devices) hashed. Members' direct identifiers are removed within seven days to pseudonymize the data. This remaining pseudonymized data is then deleted within 180 days.

LinkedIn does not share any personally identifiable information with us, but only provides reports and notifications (in which you are not identified) about website audience and ad performance. LinkedIn also provides retargeting for website visitors, so we can use this data to display targeted ads outside of our website without identifying the member. LinkedIn also uses data that does not identify you to improve the relevance of ads and reach members across devices. LinkedIn members can control the use of their personal data for advertising purposes in their account settings.
