2. General Notes and Mandatory Information

Data Privacy

The operators of these pages take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with the statutory data protection regulations and this privacy policy. 

 

When you use this website, various personal data are collected. Personal data is data with which you can be personally identified. 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., communication by e-mail) can have security vulnerabilities. Complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible. 

Information about the Responsible Party 

The responsible party for data processing on this website is: 

 

Inventive Studios GmbH 

Bahnhofstraße 9 

55116 Mainz 

Tel.: +49 173 6868447

The responsible party is the natural or legal person who alone or jointly with others decides on the purposes and means of processing personal data (e.g., names, e-mail addresses, etc.). 

 

Storage Duration 

If no specific storage period is specified within this privacy policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for data processing ceases to exist. If you assert a legitimate request for deletion or revoke consent to data processing, your data will be deleted unless we have other legally permissible reasons for storing your personal data (e.g., tax or commercial retention periods); in the latter case, deletion will occur after these reasons cease to exist.

Note on Data Transfer to the USA 

On our website, tools from companies based in the USA are integrated, among other things. If these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to the US servers of the respective companies. We would like to point out that the USA is not a safe third country within the meaning of EU data protection law. US companies are obligated to disclose personal data to security authorities without you as the data subject being able to take legal action against this. It is therefore not possible to rule out that US authorities (e.g., intelligence agencies) may process, evaluate, and permanently store your data located on US servers for monitoring purposes. We have no influence on these processing activities. 

 

Revocation of Your Consent to Data Processing 

Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You can revoke consent you have already given at any time. The legality of the data processing carried out before the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation. 

Right to Object to Data Collection in Special Cases and Direct Marketing (Art. 21 GDPR) 

 

IF DATA PROCESSING IS BASED ON ART. 6 PARA. 1 LIT. E OR F GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA AT ANY TIME FOR REASONS ARISING FROM YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION, INCLUDING PROFILING BASED ON THESE PROVISIONS. THE RESPECTIVE LEGAL BASIS ON WHICH PROCESSING IS BASED CAN BE FOUND IN THIS PRIVACY POLICY. IF YOU OBJECT, WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR AFFECTED PERSONAL DATA UNLESS WE CAN DEMONSTRATE COMPELLING LEGITIMATE GROUNDS FOR THE PROCESSING WHICH OVERRIDE YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS, AND FREEDOMS OR FOR THE ESTABLISHMENT, EXERCISE, OR DEFENSE OF LEGAL CLAIMS (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21 PARA. 1 GDPR). 

 

IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA IS PROCESSED FOR THE PURPOSE OF DIRECT MARKETING, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA FOR THE PURPOSE OF SUCH ADVERTISING; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING, INSOFAR AS IT IS RELATED TO SUCH DIRECT MARKETING. IF YOU OBJECT, YOUR PERSONAL DATA WILL SUBSEQUENTLY NO LONGER BE USED FOR THE PURPOSE OF DIRECT MARKETING (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21 PARA. 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. This 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 based on your consent or in fulfillment of a contract handed over to you or to a third party in a common, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only be done to the extent that it is technically feasible. 

 

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 website operator, this site uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock symbol in your browser line. 

 

When SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties. 

 

Encrypted Payment Transactions on this Website 

 

If there is an obligation to provide us with your payment data (e.g., account number for direct debit authorization) after the conclusion of a paid contract, this data is required for payment processing. 

 

Payment transactions via the usual means of payment (Visa/MasterCard, direct debit) are made exclusively via an encrypted SSL or TLS connection. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock symbol in your browser line. 

 

With encrypted communication, your payment data that you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties. 

 

Information, Blocking, Deletion 

 

Within the framework of the applicable legal provisions, you have the right to free information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipient, and the purpose of data processing and, if necessary, a right to correct, block, or delete this data. For this purpose and for further questions about personal data, you can contact us at any time. 

 

 

Right to Restrict Processing 

 

You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. You can contact us at any time to exercise this right. The right to restrict processing applies in the following cases: 

 

If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored with us, we usually need time to verify this. During the verification period, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. 

 

If the processing of your personal data was/were unlawful, you can request the restriction of data processing instead of deletion. 

 

If we no longer need your personal data, but you need it for the exercise, defense, or assertion of legal claims, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of deletion. 

 

If you have lodged an objection pursuant to Art. 21 para. 1 GDPR, a balance must be struck between your interests and ours. As long as it has not yet been determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. 

 

If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, these data – except for their storage – may only be processed with your consent or for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or a Member State. 

 

Objection to Promotional Emails 

 

The use of contact data published within the framework of the imprint obligation for sending unsolicited advertising and information materials is hereby objected to. The operators of the pages expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of the unsolicited sending of advertising information, such as spam e-mails. 

 

3. Data Collection on Our Website

Cookies

To manage the cookies and similar technologies used (tracking pixels, web beacons, etc.) and related consents, we use the consent tool “Real Cookie Banner”. Details on how “Real Cookie Banner” works can be found at https://devowl.io/rcb/data-processing/.

The legal basis for the processing of personal data in this context are Art. 6 (1) lit. c GDPR and Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR. Our legitimate interest is the management of the cookies and similar technologies used and the related consents.

The provision of personal data is neither contractually required nor necessary for the conclusion of a contract. You are not obliged to provide the personal data. If you do not provide the personal data, we will not be able to manage your consents.
 

Our website uses so-called “cookies.” Cookies are small text files that do not cause any damage to your end device. They are either temporarily stored for the duration of a session (session cookies) or permanently (persistent cookies) on your end device. Session cookies are automatically deleted after your visit ends. Permanent cookies remain stored on your end device until you delete them yourself or they are automatically deleted by your web browser. 

 

In some cases, cookies from third-party companies may also be stored on your end device when you enter our site (third-party cookies). These allow us or you to use certain services of the third-party company (e.g., cookies for processing payment services). 

 

Cookies serve various functions. Numerous cookies are technically necessary because certain website functions would not work without them (e.g., the shopping cart function or displaying videos). Other cookies are used to analyze user behavior or display advertisements. 

 

Cookies that are necessary for electronic communication processes (necessary cookies) or for providing certain functions desired by you (functional cookies, e.g., for the shopping cart function) or for optimizing the website (e.g., cookies for measuring web audience) are stored based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR, unless another legal basis is specified. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing cookies for the technically error-free and optimized provision of its services. If consent to the storage of cookies has been requested, the storage of the relevant cookies is based exclusively on this consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR); the consent can be revoked at any time. 

 

You can configure your browser to inform you about the setting of cookies 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 the browser is closed. 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 in the context of this privacy policy and, if necessary, request your consent. 

 

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 
  • Hostname of the accessing computer 
  • Time of the server request 
  • IP address 

These data will not be combined with other data sources. 

The collection of this data is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the technically error-free presentation and optimization of its website – for this purpose, the server log files must be recorded. 

 

Shopify 

We use the online marketplace Shopify. The service provider is the American company Shopify International Limited, Victoria Buildings, 2nd floor, 1-2 Haddington Road, Dublin 4, D04 XN32, Ireland. 

 

Shopify processes data from you, among other things, also in the USA. We would like to point out that, in the opinion of the European Court of Justice, there is currently no adequate level of data protection for the transfer of data to the USA. This can be associated with various risks for the legality and security of data processing. 

 

As the basis for data processing with recipients based in third countries (outside the European Union, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, especially in the USA) or for data transfers to them, Shopify uses so-called standard contractual clauses (= Art. 46. Para. 2 and 3 GDPR). Standard contractual clauses (Standard Contractual Clauses – SCC) are template agreements provided by the EU Commission and are intended to ensure that your data also complies with European data protection standards when it is transferred to third countries (such as the USA) and stored there. Through these clauses, Shopify undertakes to comply with the European data protection level 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 of the EU Commission. You can find the decision and the corresponding standard contractual clauses, among other places, here: [Link to the decision and clauses] 

 

For more information on the standard contractual clauses and on the data processed by using Shopify, please refer to the Privacy Policy at: [Link to Shopify’s Privacy Policy] 

 

Contact Form 

If you send us inquiries via the contact form, your details from the inquiry form, including the contact details you provided there, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the inquiry and in case of follow-up questions. We will not pass on this data without your consent. 

 

The processing of this data is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR, provided your request is related to the performance of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective processing of the inquiries addressed to us (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR), provided this has been requested. 

 

The data you enter in the contact form will remain with us until you request deletion, revoke your consent to storage, or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g., after your request has been processed). Mandatory statutory provisions – in particular statutory retention periods – remain unaffected. 

 

Inquiry by Email, Phone, or Fax 

If you contact us by email, telephone, or fax, your inquiry including all resulting personal data (name, inquiry) will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of processing your request. We will not pass on this data without your consent. 

 

The processing of this data is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR, provided your request is related to the performance of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective processing of the inquiries addressed to us (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR), provided this has been requested. 

 

The data you send us via contact requests will remain with us until you request deletion, revoke your consent to storage, or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g., after your request has been processed). Mandatory statutory provisions – in particular statutory retention periods – remain unaffected.

4. 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 statistical tools and other technologies on our website. Google Tag Manager itself does not create user profiles, store cookies, or conduct independent analyses. It simply serves to manage and deploy the tools integrated through it. However, Google Tag Manager does collect your IP address, which can also be transmitted to Google’s parent company in the United States. 

 

The use of Google Tag Manager is based on Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in quickly and uncomplicatedly integrating and managing various tools on his website. If consent has been requested, processing will only be carried out on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR; consent can be revoked at any time. 

 

Google Analytics 

 

This website uses features of the web analytics 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. The website operator receives various usage data, such as page views, length of stay, operating systems used, and the origin of the user. This data may be aggregated by Google into a profile that is assigned to the respective user or their device. 

 

Google Analytics uses technologies that enable the recognition of users 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 transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. 

 

The use of this analysis tool is based on Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in analyzing user behavior in order to optimize both its website and its advertising. If consent has been requested (e.g., consent to store cookies), processing will only be carried out on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR; consent can be revoked at any time. 

 

Data transfer to the USA is based on the Standard Contractual Clauses of the European Commission. Details can be found here: 

 

https://privacy.google.com/businesses/controllerterms/mccs/ 

 

IP anonymization 

 

We have activated the IP anonymization function on this website. As a result, your IP address will be truncated by Google within member states of the European Union or other parties to the Agreement on the European Economic Area before being transmitted to the USA. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be sent to a Google server in the USA and truncated 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 will not be merged with any other data held by Google. 

 

Browser plugin 

 

You can prevent Google from collecting and processing your data by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at the following link: 

 

https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en 

 

For more information on how Google Analytics handles user data, see Google’s privacy policy: 

 

https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245?hl=en 

 

Order data processing 

 

We have concluded a contract with Google for order data processing and fully implement the strict requirements of the German data protection authorities when using Google Analytics. 

 

Demographic characteristics in Google Analytics 

 

This website uses the “demographic features” function of Google Analytics to display appropriate advertisements to website visitors within the Google advertising network. This allows reports to be generated that contain statements about the age, gender, and interests of site visitors. This data comes from interest-based advertising by Google and visitor data from third-party providers. This data cannot be attributed to any specific individual. You can disable this feature at any time through 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. 

 

Storage duration 

 

Data stored by Google at the user and event level, linked to cookies, user identifiers (e.g., User ID), or advertising IDs (e.g., DoubleClick cookies, Android advertising ID), is anonymized or deleted after 14 months. For details, see the following link: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/7667196?hl=en 

 

Google Ads 

 

The website operator uses Google Ads. Google Ads is an online advertising program of Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. 

 

Google Ads allows us to display ads in the Google search engine or on third-party websites when users enter certain search terms on Google (keyword targeting). Furthermore, targeted advertisements can be displayed based on the user data available at Google (e.g., location data and interests). We, as the website operator, can quantitatively evaluate this data by analyzing which search terms led to the display of our advertisements and how many clicks resulted in corresponding clicks. 

 

The use of Google Ads is based on Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in effective marketing of its service and products. 

 

Data transfer to the USA is based on the Standard Contractual Clauses of the European Commission. Details can be found here: 

https://policies.google.com/privacy/frameworks and 

https://privacy.google.com/businesses/controllerterms/mccs/. 

 

Google Remarketing 

 

This website uses the features of Google Analytics Remarketing. The provider is Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. 

 

Google Remarketing analyzes user behavior on our website (e.g., clicks on certain products) to categorize them into certain advertising target groups and then display appropriate advertising messages to them when they visit other online offerings (remarketing or retargeting). 

 

Furthermore, the advertising target groups created with Google Remarketing can be linked to cross-device functions from Google. This allows interest-related, personalized advertising messages that have been tailored to a user’s previous usage and browsing behavior on one device (e.g., mobile phone) to also be displayed on another of their devices (e.g., tablet or PC). 

 

If you have a Google account, you can opt out of personalized advertising at the following link: 

 

https://www.google.com/settings/ads/onweb/. 

 

The use of Google Remarketing is based on Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in effective marketing of its products. If consent has been requested, processing will only be carried out on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR; consent can be revoked 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=en/. 

 

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 certain actions have been taken by the user. For example, we can evaluate which buttons on our website are clicked on most frequently and which products are viewed or purchased most frequently. This information is used to create 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 could personally identify the user. Google itself uses cookies or similar recognition technologies for identification. 

 

The use of Google Conversion Tracking is based on Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in analyzing user behavior in order to optimize both its web offering and its advertising. If consent has been requested (e.g., consent to store cookies), processing will only be carried out on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR; consent can be revoked at any time.

https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en. 

 

Google DoubleClick 

This website uses features of Google DoubleClick. The provider is Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, (hereinafter referred to as “DoubleClick”). 

 

DoubleClick is used to display interest-based advertisements throughout the Google advertising network. Advertisements can be targeted to the interests of the respective viewer with the help of DoubleClick. For example, our advertising can be displayed in Google search results or in banners associated with DoubleClick. 

 

In order to display interest-based advertising to users, DoubleClick must be able to recognize the respective viewer and assign them their visited websites, clicks, and other information about user behavior. DoubleClick uses cookies or similar recognition technologies (e.g., device fingerprinting) for this purpose. The collected information is summarized into a pseudonymous user profile in order to display interest-based advertising to the respective user.

https://adssettings.google.com/authenticated. 

 

Facebook Pixel 

This website uses Facebook’s visitor action pixel for conversion measurement. The provider of this service is Facebook Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Dublin 2, Ireland. However, according to Facebook, the data collected is also transferred to the USA and other third countries. 

 

This allows the behavior of site visitors to be tracked after they have been redirected to the provider’s website by clicking on a Facebook ad. This enables the effectiveness of Facebook advertisements to be evaluated for statistical and market research purposes, and future advertising measures to be optimized. 

 

The data collected is anonymous to us as the operator of this website; we cannot draw any conclusions about the identity of the users. However, the data is stored and processed by Facebook, allowing a connection to the respective user profile and enabling Facebook to use the data for its own advertising purposes in accordance with Facebook’s data usage policy. This allows Facebook to display advertisements on Facebook pages and outside of Facebook. We as the website operator have no influence on this use of the data. 

 

The use of Facebook Pixel is based on Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in effective advertising measures, including social media. If consent has been requested (e.g., consent to store cookies), processing will only be carried out on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR; consent can be revoked at any time. 

 

Data transfer to the USA is based on the Standard Contractual Clauses of the European Commission. Details can be found here: 

https://www.facebook.com/legal/EU_data_transfer_addendum and 

https://de-de.facebook.com/help/566994660333381. 

 

Insofar as personal data is collected on our website and forwarded to Facebook using the tools described here, we and Facebook Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland are jointly responsible for this data processing (Art. 26 GDPR). However, this joint responsibility is limited exclusively to the collection of data and its transfer to Facebook. The processing of data by Facebook after it has been forwarded is not part of the joint responsibility. The obligations incumbent on us jointly have been set out in a joint processing agreement. The wording of the agreement can be found here: 

https://www.facebook.com/legal/controller_addendum. According to this agreement, we are responsible for providing data protection information when using the Facebook tool and for implementing the tool on our website in a data protection-compliant manner. Facebook is responsible for the data security of the Facebook products. Rights of data subjects (e.g., requests for information) regarding data processed by Facebook can be asserted directly with Facebook. If data subjects assert their rights with us, we are obliged to forward them to Facebook. 

 

You can find further information on data protection at Facebook here: 

https://de-de.facebook.com/about/privacy/. 

 

You can also deactivate the “Custom Audiences” remarketing function in the advertisement settings section under

5. Plugins and Tools

YouTube with Enhanced Privacy Mode 

 

This website embeds YouTube videos. The operator of these pages is Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. 

 

We use YouTube in enhanced privacy mode. According to YouTube, this mode means that YouTube does not store information about visitors to this website before they watch the video. However, the enhanced privacy mode does not necessarily exclude the sharing of data with YouTube partners. Regardless of whether you watch a video, YouTube establishes a connection to the Google DoubleClick network. 

 

When you start a YouTube video on this website, a connection is established to YouTube’s servers. YouTube’s server is informed about which of our pages you have visited. If you are logged into your YouTube account, you allow YouTube to directly associate your surfing behavior with your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account. 

 

Furthermore, after starting a YouTube video, YouTube may store various cookies on your device or use similar recognition technologies (e.g., device fingerprinting). This allows YouTube to receive information about visitors to this website. This information is used, among other things, to capture video statistics, improve user-friendliness, and prevent fraud. 

 

Additional data processing operations may be triggered after starting a YouTube video, over which we have no control. 

 

The use of YouTube is in the interest of presenting our online offers in an appealing manner. This represents a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR. If consent has been requested, processing will be carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR; consent can be revoked at any time. 

 

For more information about privacy at YouTube, please see their privacy policy at:

Vimeo 

 

Our website uses plugins from the video portal Vimeo. The provider is Vimeo Inc., 555 West 18th Street, New York, New York 10011, USA. 

 

When you visit one of our pages equipped with a Vimeo plugin, a connection to Vimeo’s servers is established. This informs the Vimeo server which of our pages you have visited. Vimeo also obtains your IP address. This occurs even if you are not logged into Vimeo or do not have a Vimeo account. The information collected by Vimeo is transferred to the Vimeo server in the USA. 

 

If you are logged into your Vimeo account, you allow Vimeo to directly associate your surfing behavior with your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out of your Vimeo account.

We use “Google reCAPTCHA” (“reCAPTCHA”) on this website. The provider is Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. 

 

reCAPTCHA is used to check whether the data entered on this website (e.g., in a contact form) is being entered by a human or by an automated program. To do this, reCAPTCHA analyzes the behavior of the website visitor based on various characteristics. This analysis starts automatically as soon as the website visitor enters the website. For the analysis, reCAPTCHA evaluates various information (e.g., IP address, time spent on the website by the website visitor, or mouse movements made by the user). The data collected during the analysis is forwarded to Google. 

 

The reCAPTCHA analyses run completely in the background. Website visitors are not notified that an analysis is taking place. 

 

Storage and analysis of the data are based on Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in protecting its web offerings from abusive automated spying and spam. If consent has been requested, processing will be carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR; consent can be revoked at any time.

Google Maps 

 

This page uses the Google Maps API to display maps. The provider is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. 

 

In order to use the features of Google Maps, it is necessary to store your IP address. This information is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. The provider of this site has no influence on this data transmission. 

 

The use of Google Maps is in the interest of an attractive presentation of our online offers and easy location of the places we specify on the website. This represents a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR.

6. Own Services

Handling of Applicant Data 

We offer you the opportunity to apply to us (e.g., by email, post, or via an online application form). Below, we inform you about the scope, purpose, and use of your personal data collected as part of the application process. We assure you that the collection, processing, and use of your data are carried out in accordance with applicable data protection law and all other statutory provisions and that your data will be treated strictly confidentially. 

 

Scope and Purpose of Data Collection 

When you submit an application to us, we process the associated personal data (e.g., contact and communication data, application documents, notes from job interviews, etc.) to the extent necessary to decide on the establishment of an employment relationship. The legal basis for this is § 26 BDSG-new according to German law (initiation of an employment relationship), Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b GDPR (general initiation of a contract), and – if you have given consent – Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR. Consent can be revoked at any time. Your personal data will only be disclosed within our company to persons involved in processing your application. 

 

If the application is successful, the data you submitted will be stored in our data processing systems for the purpose of carrying out the employment relationship based on § 26 BDSG-new and Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b GDPR. 

 

Retention Period of Data 

If we are unable to offer you a position, you decline an offer, or withdraw your application, we reserve the right to retain the data you provided on the basis of our legitimate interests (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR) for up to 6 months after the end of the application process (rejection or withdrawal of the application). Afterward, the data will be deleted, and the physical application documents will be destroyed. The storage serves primarily as evidence in the event of legal disputes. If it becomes apparent that the data will be required after the 6-month period (e.g., due to a pending legal dispute), deletion will only take place when the purpose for further storage no longer applies. 

 

A longer retention period may also occur if you have given corresponding consent (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR) or if legal retention obligations prevent deletion.
