Privacy Policy

We are pleased that you are visiting our website and thank you for your interest in our company, our products, and our website. Protecting your privacy while you use our website is important to us. Therefore, please take note of the following information:

When you access our website, general information is automatically collected. This information (server log files) includes, for example, the type of web browser, the operating system used, the domain name of your internet service provider, and similar data. This information is exclusively of a general nature and does not allow any conclusions to be drawn about your identity. This information is technically necessary to correctly deliver the website content you request and is automatically generated when using the internet. We statistically analyze this anonymous information to optimize our website and the underlying technology.

Like many other websites, we also use so-called „cookies.“ Cookies are small text files that are transferred from a web server to your hard drive. This allows us to automatically receive certain data, such as your IP address, the browser you are using, your operating system, and information about your internet connection. Cookies cannot be used to run programs or transmit viruses to a computer. The information contained in cookies allows us to make navigation easier for you and ensure that our website is displayed correctly. Under no circumstances will the data we collect be shared with third parties or linked to personal data without your consent.
Of course, you can also view our website without cookies. Internet browsers are usually set to accept cookies. You can disable the use of cookies at any time via your browser settings. Please use your internet browser’s help function to learn how to change these settings. Please note that some features of our website may not function if you have disabled the use of cookies.

When you register to use our personalized services, we collect certain personal data, such as your name, address, and contact information, including your telephone number and email address. Once registered, you can access content and services that we offer exclusively to registered users. Registered users also have the option to change or delete the data they provided during registration at any time. Of course, we will also provide you with information about the personal data we have stored about you at any time. We will gladly correct or delete this data at your request, provided there are no legal obligations to retain it. To contact us regarding this matter, please use the contact details provided at the end of this privacy policy.

When you subscribe to our newsletter, the data you provide will be used exclusively for this purpose. Subscribers may also be informed by email about circumstances relevant to the service or registration (for example, changes to the newsletter offerings or technical issues).

For successful registration, we require a valid email address. To verify that registration is indeed being carried out by the email address owner, we use the „double opt-in“ procedure. For this purpose, we log the newsletter subscription, the sending of a confirmation email, and the receipt of the requested confirmation. No further data is collected. The data is used exclusively for sending the newsletter and will not be shared with third parties.

You can withdraw your consent to the storage of your personal data and its use for sending newsletters at any time. A corresponding link is included in every newsletter. You can also unsubscribe directly on this website at any time or inform us of your request using the contact details provided at the end of this privacy policy.

By requesting a test account, you agree that a test account will be created on the relevant portal of the software provider using your email address. No personal data other than your email address will be transmitted. Your data will not be transferred to a third country.

he following information explains the content of our newsletter, the registration, distribution, and statistical evaluation procedures, as well as your rights to object. By subscribing to our newsletter, you agree to receive it and to the procedures described.

Newsletter content: We only send newsletters, emails, and other electronic notifications containing promotional information (hereinafter „newsletters“) with the recipient’s consent or where legally permitted. If the newsletter’s content is specifically described during the registration process, this description is decisive for the user’s consent. Otherwise, our newsletters contain information about our products, offers, promotions, and our company.

Double opt-in and logging: Subscription to our newsletter uses a double opt-in process. This means that after registering, you will receive an email asking you to confirm your subscription. This confirmation is necessary to prevent anyone from subscribing using someone else’s email address. Newsletter subscriptions are logged to document the registration process in accordance with legal requirements. This includes recording the time of registration and confirmation, as well as the IP address. Changes to your data stored with the email service provider are also logged.

Email Service Provider: Newsletters are sent via
Keap, A Thryv, Inc. Brand, 1260 South Spectrum Boulevard, Chandler, Arizona 85286, hereinafter referred to as the „Email Service Provider.“ You can view the Email Service Provider’s privacy policy here:
https://www.thryv.com/privacy
https://www.infusionsoft.com/legal/data-protection-faq/de and https://www.infusionsoft.com/legal/.
To ensure an adequate level of data protection, we have concluded EU Standard Contractual Clauses with the Email Service Provider.

According to its own information, the email service provider may use data in pseudonymized form, i.e., without linking it to a specific user, to optimize or improve its own services, for example, for the technical optimization of email delivery and the display of newsletters, or for statistical purposes to determine the countries of origin of the recipients. However, the email service provider does not use the data of our newsletter recipients to contact them directly or to pass it on to third parties.

Registration details: To subscribe to the newsletter, simply provide your email address. For personalized addressing in the newsletter, please also provide your name.

Statistical Data Collection and Analysis – The newsletters contain a so-called „web beacon,“ i.e., a pixel-sized file that is retrieved from the email service provider’s server when the newsletter is opened. During this retrieval, technical information such as browser and system details, as well as your IP address and the time of retrieval, are collected. This information is used to technically improve the services based on the technical data or to analyze target groups and their reading behavior based on their retrieval locations (which can be determined using the IP address) or access times. The statistical data collection also includes determining whether the newsletters are opened, when they are opened, and which links are clicked. While this information can be technically associated with individual newsletter recipients, it is neither our intention nor that of the email service provider to monitor individual users. Rather, the analyses serve to help us understand our users‘ reading habits and to tailor our content accordingly, or to send different content based on our users‘ interests.

The use of the shipping service provider, the performance of statistical surveys and analyses, and the logging of the registration process are based on our legitimate interests pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. Our interest lies in the use of a user-friendly and secure newsletter system that serves both our business interests and meets the expectations of our users.

Cancellation/Revocation – You can unsubscribe from our newsletter at any time, i.e., revoke your consent. This simultaneously revokes your consent to its distribution by the email service provider and the statistical analyses. A separate revocation of the distribution by the email service provider or the statistical analysis is unfortunately not possible. You will find a link to unsubscribe from the newsletter at the end of each newsletter. If users have only subscribed to the newsletter and have subsequently unsubscribed, their personal data will be deleted.

If you contact us via email or contact form, the information you provide will be stored for the purpose of processing your request and for possible follow-up questions.

We adhere to the principles of data avoidance and data minimization. Therefore, we only store your personal data for as long as is necessary to achieve the purposes stated here or as required by the various retention periods stipulated by law. Once the respective purpose ceases to apply or these periods expire, the corresponding data is routinely blocked or deleted in accordance with legal regulations.

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc. („Google“). Google Analytics uses „cookies,“ which are text files placed on your computer, to help the website analyze how users use the site. The information generated by the cookie about your use of the website will generally be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States. However, due to the activation of IP anonymization on this website, your IP address will be shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of the website, compiling reports on website activity, and providing other services relating 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 other Google data.

You can prevent the storage of cookies by adjusting your browser settings; however, please note that in this case you may not be able to fully utilize all the functions of this website. Furthermore, you can prevent Google from collecting and processing data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at the following link: Browser add-on to deactivate Google Analytics.

Further information on terms of use and data protection can be found in the Google Analytics Terms of Service and the Google Analytics Overview. Please note that on this website, Google Analytics has been extended with the code „gat._anonymizeIp();“ to ensure anonymized collection of IP addresses (IP masking).

The operator of the Google Analytics component is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA.

To ensure our content is displayed correctly and attractively across different browsers, we use script and font libraries on this website, such as Google Web Fonts. To avoid multiple downloads, Google Web Fonts are cached in your browser. If your browser does not support Google Web Fonts or blocks access to them, content will be displayed in a standard font. Accessing script or font libraries automatically establishes a connection to the library provider. While it is theoretically possible that these providers collect data—though currently unclear whether they do and, if so, for what purposes— you can find Google’s privacy policy here: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/

This website uses the Google Maps API to visually display geographical information. When using Google Maps, Google also collects, processes, and uses data about visitors‘ use of the map functions. You can find more information about data processing by Google in the Google Privacy Policy. There, you can also change your personal privacy settings in the Privacy Center. The Google Maps Terms of Service can be found under „Google Maps Terms of Service“.

We embed YouTube videos on some of our websites. The operator of the corresponding plugins is YouTube, LLC, 901 Cherry Ave., San Bruno, CA 94066, USA. When you visit a page with the YouTube plugin, a connection to YouTube’s servers is established. This informs YouTube which pages you are visiting. If you are logged into your YouTube account, YouTube can associate your browsing behavior with you personally. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account beforehand.
When a YouTube video is started, the provider sets cookies that collect information about user behavior. Users who have deactivated the storage of cookies for the Google Ads program will not encounter such cookies when watching YouTube videos. However, YouTube also stores non-personally identifiable usage information in other cookies. If you wish to prevent this, you must block the storage of cookies in your browser. Further information on data protection at YouTube can be found in the provider’s privacy policy at: https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/.

Our website uses Google Conversion Tracking. If you reached our website via an ad placed by Google, Google AdWords will place a cookie on your computer. The conversion tracking cookie is set when a user clicks on an ad placed by Google. These cookies expire after 30 days and are not used for personal identification. If the user visits certain pages of our website and the cookie has not yet expired, we and Google can recognize that the user clicked on the ad and was redirected to this page. Each Google AdWords customer receives a different cookie. Therefore, cookies cannot be tracked across the websites of different AdWords customers. The information obtained using the conversion cookie is used to create conversion statistics for AdWords customers who have opted for conversion tracking. These customers learn the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a page with a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not receive any information that can be used to personally identify users.
If you do not wish to participate in tracking, you can refuse the necessary cookie placement – ​​for example, via a browser setting that generally disables the automatic placement of cookies, or by configuring your browser to block cookies from the domain „googleleadservices.com“. Please note that you must not delete the opt-out cookies as long as you do not want your data to be recorded. If you have deleted all your browser cookies, you will need to set the respective opt-out cookie again.

This website uses the remarketing function of Google Inc. This function serves to present website visitors with interest-based advertisements within the Google advertising network. A so-called „cookie“ is stored in the website visitor’s browser, which makes it possible to recognize the visitor when they visit websites that belong to Google’s advertising network. On these pages, the visitor may be presented with advertisements that relate to content that the visitor previously viewed on websites that use Google’s remarketing function.
According to Google, no personal data is collected during this process. However, if you do not wish to use Google’s remarketing function, you can deactivate it by adjusting the corresponding settings at https://adssettings.google.com/authenticated . Alternatively, you can deactivate the use of cookies for interest-based advertising via the Network Advertising Initiative by following the instructions at https://optout.networkadvertising.org.

The data controller collects and processes the personal data of applicants for the purpose of processing the application. Processing may also be carried out electronically. This is particularly the case when an applicant submits application documents electronically, for example, by email or via a web form on the website. If the data controller concludes an employment contract with an applicant, the transmitted data will be stored for the purpose of processing the employment relationship in compliance with legal requirements. If the data controller does not conclude an employment contract with the applicant, the application documents will be automatically deleted two months after notification of the rejection decision, unless other legitimate interests of the data controller preclude deletion or the applicant has given explicit consent for further processing. A legitimate interest in this sense is, for example, the need to retain evidence in proceedings under the German General Equal Treatment Act (AGG).

You have the right to request information about your personal data stored by us at any time. You also have the right to rectification, blocking, or, apart from mandatory data retention for business transactions, erasure of your personal data. Please contact our data protection officer for this purpose. You will find the contact details at the bottom of this page. To ensure that data blocking can be implemented at any time, this data must be kept in a block file for verification purposes. You can also request the erasure of your data, provided there is no legal obligation to retain it. If such an obligation exists, we will block your data upon request. You can make changes or withdraw your consent by notifying us accordingly, with effect for the future.

Article 6(1)(a) GDPR serves as the legal basis for our company’s processing operations where we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose. If the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, as is the case, for example, with processing operations necessary for the delivery of goods or the provision of other services or consideration, then the processing is based on Article 6(1)(b) GDPR. The same applies to such processing operations that are necessary for carrying out pre-contractual measures, such as in cases of inquiries about our products or services. If our company is subject to a legal obligation that requires the processing of personal data, such as for the fulfillment of tax obligations, then the processing is based on Article 6(1)(c) GDPR. In rare cases, the processing of personal data may be necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor were injured on our premises and their name, age, health insurance details, or other vital information had to be shared with a doctor, hospital, or other third party. In that case, the processing would be based on Article 6(1)(d) GDPR. Finally, processing operations could be based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. This legal basis applies to processing operations not covered by any of the aforementioned legal bases, if the processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by our company or a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject. We are permitted to carry out such processing operations in particular because they have been specifically mentioned by the European legislator. The legislator took the view that a legitimate interest could be assumed where the data subject is a client of the controller (Recital 47, second sentence, GDPR).

For your convenience, our website contains links to third-party websites. Where these links are not immediately obvious, we will indicate that they are external links. We have no control over the content and design of these third-party websites. Therefore, the guarantees of this privacy policy do not apply to them.

We reserve the right to amend this privacy policy from time to time to ensure it always complies with current legal requirements or to reflect changes to our services, such as the introduction of new services. The new privacy policy will then apply to your next visit.

If you have any further questions about data protection at our company, please contact us directly. You can find our contact details in the legal notice. There you can inquire about what data we have stored about you. Furthermore, you can send us requests for information, deletion, and correction of your data, as well as any suggestions, at any time by email or letter. You can also find our full address in the legal notice of this website.
