We use Friendly Captcha on our website, a service provided by Friendly Captcha GmbH, Am Anger 3-5, 82237 Wörthsee, Germany.

Friendly Captcha is a privacy-friendly protection solution to make it more difficult for automated programs and scripts (so-called "bots") to use websites. Friendly Captcha thus protects websites from misuse. For this purpose, we have integrated a program code from Friendly Captcha in certain areas of our website, e.g. in a contact form. This causes the visitor's end device to establish a connection to the Friendly Captcha servers in connection with the protected area (e.g. sending a contact form). The visitor's browser receives a calculation task from Friendly Captcha. The complexity of the calculation task depends on various risk factors. The visitor's end device solves the calculation task, which requires certain system resources, and sends the calculation result to our web server. This contacts the Friendly Captcha server via an interface and receives a response as to whether the puzzle has been solved correctly by the end device.

In addition, the visitor's browser transmits connection data, environmental data, interaction data and functional data to Friendly Captcha. Friendly Captcha evaluates this data and determines how likely it is that it is a human user or bot and transmits the result to our web server.

Friendly Captcha does not store any personal data about the visitor. Data that could identify the visitor (such as IP addresses) is anonymized using one-way hashing. Friendly Captcha does not use HTTP cookies and does not store any data in the persistent browser memory.

The legal basis for the use of Friendly Captcha is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in protecting the website from abusive, automated crawling and spam.

DoubleClick is used to show you interest-based ads across the Google advertising network. In order to be able to show users interest-based advertising, DoubleClick must recognize the respective viewer and be able to assign the websites they have visited, clicks and other information on user behavior to them. For this purpose, DoubleClick uses cookies or comparable recognition technologies (e.g. device fingerprinting). Google DoubleClick uses a special cookie script. This draws among other things on:

• the number of page views,

• for searching for used keywords.

The information collected is combined into a pseudonymous user profile in order to display interest-based advertising to the user concerned. If you have a Google account, the search engine associates the data obtained with the information available in the Google account.

As part of processing by Google, data may be transmitted to the USA. The following recipients may include Google LLC. and Alphabet Inc. The level of data protection in the USA is currently not equivalent to that in the EU. This is due in particular to far-reaching official access rights to personal data processed by companies and insufficient legal protection options for data subjects. The security of the transmission is secured by so-called standard contractual clauses, which ensure that the processing of personal data is subject to a security level that corresponds to that of the GDPR.

Processing takes place exclusively on the basis of Article 6 (1) (b) GDPR. 6 paragraph 1 lit. a GDPR. You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future.

This website uses functions of the service "Google Ads" (formerly Google AdWords), a service of  Google  Ireland  Limited,  Google  Building  Gordon  House,  Barrow  St,  Dublin  4,  Ireland (hereinafter referred to as "Google"). Google Ads enables us to draw attention to our attractive offers with the help of advertising media on external websites. This enables us to determine how successful individual advertising measures are. These advertising media are delivered by Google via so-called "AdServers". For this purpose, we use so-called AdServer cookies, which can be used to measure certain parameters for measuring success, such as display of the ads or clicks by users. If you access our website via a Google ad, Google Ads will store a cookie on your PC. These cookies usually lose their validity after 30 days. They are not intended to identify you personally. The following information is usually stored as analysis values for this cookie: unique cookie ID, number of ad impressions per placement (frequency), last impression (relevant for post-view  conversions),  opt-out  information  (marking  that  the  user  no  longer  wishes  to  be addressed). These cookies allow Google to recognize your web browser. If a user visits certain pages  of  an  Ads  customer's  website  and  the  cookie  stored  on  their  computer  has  not  yet expired,  Google  and  the  customer  can  recognize  that  the  user  clicked  on  the  ad  and  was redirected  to  that  page.  A  different  cookie  is  assigned  to  each  Ads  customer.  Cookies  can therefore  not  be  tracked  across  Ads  customers'  websites.  We  ourselves  do  not  collect  and process  any  personal  data  in  the  aforementioned  advertising  measures.  We  only  receive statistical  evaluations  from  Google.  Based  on  these  evaluations,  we  can  see  which  of  the advertising measures used are particularly effective. We do not receive any further data from the  use  of  the  advertising  tools;  in  particular,  we  cannot  identify  users  on  the  basis  of  this information. Due to the marketing tools used, your browser automatically establishes a direct connection with Google's server. We have no influence on the scope and further use of the data collected by Google through the use of Google Ads. According to our knowledge, Google receives the information that you have called up the relevant part of our website or clicked on an ad from us. If you have a user account with Google and are registered, Google can assign the visit to your user account. Even if you are not registered with Google or have not logged in, there is the possibility that Google learns your IP address and stores it. The legal basis for the processing is your consent pursuant to Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR. If you do not  want  Google  Ads  to  collect  and  process  the  aforementioned  data,  you  can  refuse  your consent or revoke it at any time with effect for the future. In the context of processing by Google Ads, data may be transmitted to the USA. The following recipients  may  be,  among  others,  Google  LLC.  and  Alphabet  Inc.  The  security  of  the transmission  is  secured  via  so-called  standard  contractual  clauses,  which  ensure  that  the processing  of  personal  data  is  subject  to  a  level  of  security  that  corresponds  to  that  of  the GDPR.

  1. Company profile on LinkedIn

We have a LinkedIn company profile. You can access our company profile regularly on the Internet at any time, regardless of whether you have created a user account on the corresponding platform yourself or not. If you are logged into your LinkedIn account, LinkedIn can assign this to your user account. In both cases, however, your data will be processed by LinkedIn. We would like to point out that we, as the provider of the pages, have no knowledge of the content of the transmitted data or its use by LinkedIn. If you post or comment on your data publicly on our LinkedIn profile, it will be visible to other registered and unregistered visitors to our LinkedIn profile worldwide.

On our LinkedIn company profile, you also have the option of reacting to our posts, writing comments, creating a post on our site yourself or sending us private messages. All data provided by you in this context will be processed by us. We process your personal data on the basis of our legitimate interest in responding to your request in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR and, if applicable, Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR, provided that your request is aimed at concluding a contract.

The LinkedIn Insight Tag is a small JavaScript code snippet that we use on our website. The LinkedIn Insight Tag enables the collection of data about visits to our website, including URL, referrer URL, IP address, device and browser properties, timestamps and page views. LinkedIn does not share any personal data with us. We are only provided with summarized data as page insights, which makes it impossible for us to draw conclusions about individual persons or members. In doing so, we can obtain the following information such as industry, job title, company size, career level and location of website visitors.

The processing of the data via the Page Insights is carried out by LinkedIn and us as joint controllers within the meaning of the GDPR. The purpose of this data processing is exclusively the evaluation and analysis of the actions and activities on our LinkedIn company profile as well as the improvement based on this data. The legal basis for the processing of personal data is Article 6 (1) (a) GDPR.

This data is encrypted, anonymized within 7 days and the anonymized data is deleted within 90 days.
