Insofar as further storage of the log files is required by law, processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (c) GDPR. There is no legal or contractual obligation to provide the data, but it is technically impossible to access our website without providing the data.

7.1.3 Storage period

The aforementioned data is usually stored for a short period of time, e.g. for the duration of the cookie’s lifetime. For further information, see: https://www.ionos.de/datenschutzerklaerung

7.3.1. Purposes and legal basis for processing your data

We process personal data in accordance with the provisions of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG), and other applicable data protection regulations. The specific data that is processed and how it is used depends on the respectively agreed service.

7.3.2. Purposes for the performance of a contract or pre-contractual measures (Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR)

Personal data is processed for the purpose of executing our contracts with you and fulfilling your orders, as well as for carrying out measures and activities within the scope of pre-contractual relationships. In particular, the processing is used to create invoices for your orders and includes the services, measures, and activities necessary for this purpose.

7.3.3. Purposes within the scope of a legitimate interest of ours or of third parties (Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR)

Beyond the actual fulfillment of the contract or preliminary contract, we may process your data where necessary to protect our legitimate interests or those of third parties, in particular for the following purposes:

• advertising or market and opinion research, provided you have not objected to the use of your data;
• enriching our data, including through the use or research of publicly available data;
• restricted storage of the data if deletion is not possible or only possible with disproportionate effort due to the special nature of the storage.

7.3.4. Purposes for compliance with legal requirements (Art. 6 (1) (c) GDPR) or in the public interest (Art. 6 (1) (e) GDPR)

We are subject to a variety of legal requirements (e.g. commercial and tax laws), as well as regulatory and other official requirements. The purposes of processing may include identity and age verification, fraud and money laundering prevention, the prevention, combating, and investigation of terrorist financing and crimes that endanger assets, comparisons with European and international anti-terrorism lists, the fulfillment of tax control and reporting obligations, and the archiving of data for the purposes of data protection and data security, as well as audits by tax and other authorities. Furthermore, the disclosure of personal data may be necessary in the context of official/judicial measures for the purposes of gathering evidence, criminal prosecution, or the enforcement of civil law claims.

7.3.5. The categories of data we process, insofar as we do not receive data directly from you, and their origin

To the extent necessary for the provision of our services, we process personal data that we have lawfully obtained from other companies or other third parties. In addition, we process personal data that we have lawfully obtained, received, or acquired from publicly accessible sources (such as telephone directories, commercial registers, association registers, etc.) and are permitted to process.

7.3.6. Recipients or categories of recipients of your data

Within our company, your data will be received by those internal departments or organizational units that need it to fulfill our contractual and legal obligations or in the context of processing and implementing our legitimate interests. Your data will be shared with external parties exclusively

• in connection with the execution of the contract;
• for the purpose of complying with legal requirements;
• on the basis of our legitimate interest or the legitimate interest of the third party for the purposes specified in section 2.2 (e.g. to authorities, debt collection agencies, lawyers, courts, expert witnesses, affiliated companies, committees, and supervisory bodies);
• if you have given us your consent to transfer your data to third parties.

We will not disclose your data to third parties beyond this.

7.3.7. Duration of storage of your data

We process and store your data for the duration of our business relationship. This also includes the initiation of a contract (pre-contractual legal relationship) and the execution of a contract. In addition, we store data that must be retained in accordance with commercial and tax regulations for 10 years. Other data for which no tax retention periods apply will be retained until the expiry of the regular limitation period (Sections 195, 199 BGB, German Civil Code), but periods of up to 30 years may apply in certain circumstances.
If the data is no longer required for the fulfillment of contractual or legal obligations and rights, it will be deleted on a regular basis, unless its further processing – for a limited period – is necessary for the fulfillment of the purposes listed in section 2.2 due to an overriding legitimate interest.

7.3.8. Processing of your data in a third country or by an international organization

Data is transferred to locations in countries outside the European Union (EU) or the European Economic Area (EEA) (so-called third countries) where necessary for the execution of an order/contract from you, where required by law (e.g. tax reporting obligations), where it is in our legitimate interest or that of a third party, or where you have given us your consent.
Processing of your data in a third country may also take place in connection with the involvement of service providers within the scope of order processing. If the EU Commission has not issued a decision on the adequacy of data protection in the country in question, we will ensure that your rights and freedoms are adequately protected and guaranteed in accordance with EU data protection requirements by means of appropriate contracts.

7.4. Newsletter

7.4.1. Type and scope of processing

If you subscribe to our newsletter via our website, we collect your email address and your name and store this information together with the date and time of the subscription request. You will then receive an email in which you must confirm your subscription to the newsletter (double opt-in). If you do not confirm your subscription within one month, it will automatically expire and your data will not be processed for the purpose of sending you the newsletter.

We use a service provided by CleverReach GmbH & Co. KG to send the newsletter. CleverReach processes your personal data on our behalf in accordance with Art. 28 GDPR. Your data will not be passed on to third parties.

7.4.2. Purpose and legal basis

We process your data for the purpose of sending newsletters on the basis of your consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR.

7.4.3. Storage period

After you subscribe to the newsletter, we store your data for a maximum of one month until your registration is confirmed. After successful confirmation, we will store your data until you revoke your consent (by unsubscribing from the newsletter) and, for technical reasons, for a maximum of 7 days beyond that.

7.5. Presence on social media platforms

We maintain fan pages, accounts, or channels on the networks listed below in order to provide you with information and offerings within social networks and to offer you additional ways to contact us and find out about our offerings. Below, we provide information about what data we or the respective social network process about you in connection with your access to and use of our fan pages/accounts.

7.5.1. Data we process about you

If you wish to contact us via Messenger or direct message on the respective social network, we will generally process your username that you use to contact us and, if necessary, store any other data you provide to the extent necessary to process/respond to your request.

The legal basis is Art. 6 (1) (1) (f) GDPR (processing is necessary to safeguard the legitimate interests of the controller).

7.5.2. (Statistical) usage data that we receive from social networks

We receive statistics about our accounts that are automatically provided via Insights features. The statistics include the total number of page views, likes, information about page activity and post interactions, reach, video views, and information about the ratio of men to women among our fans/followers.

The statistics contain only aggregated data that cannot be traced back to individual persons. You are not identifiable to us in this regard.

7.5.3. What data social networks process about you

You do not need to be a member of the respective social network to view the content of our fan pages or accounts, and therefore no user account for the respective social network is required.

Please note, however, that when you visit a social network, it also collects and stores data from website visitors without user accounts (e.g. technical data to display the website to you) and uses cookies and similar technologies, over which we have no control. For details, please refer to the privacy policy of the respective social network (see the corresponding links above).

If you wish to interact with the content on our fan pages/accounts, e.g. comment on, share, or like our posts/contributions and/or contact us via messenger functions, you must first register with the respective social network and provide personal data.

We have no influence on the data processing carried out by social networks in connection with your use of them. To the best of our knowledge, your data is stored and processed particularly in connection with the provision of the services of the respective social network, and furthermore for the analysis of usage behavior (using cookies, pixels/web beacons, and similar technologies), on the basis of which advertising based on your interests is displayed both within and outside the respective social network. It cannot be ruled out that your data may also be stored by social networks outside the EU/EEA and passed on to third parties.

Information on, among other things, the exact scope and purposes of the processing of your personal data, the storage period/deletion, and guidelines on the use of cookies and similar technologies in the context of registration and use of social networks can be found in the privacy policies/cookie guidelines of the social networks. There you will also find information about your rights and options for objection.

7.5.4. LinkedIn page

LinkedIn is a social network owned by LinkedIn Inc., based in Sunnyvale, California, USA, which enables users to create personal and professional profiles for individuals and companies. Users can maintain their existing contacts and make new ones within the social network. Companies and other organizations can create profiles where they can upload photos and other company information to present themselves as employers and recruit employees. Other LinkedIn users have access to this information and can write their own articles and share this content with others. The network focuses on professional exchanges about specialist topics with people who share the same professional interests.

When people use or visit the network, LinkedIn automatically collects data from users or visitors during their use or visits, such as username, job title, and IP address. This is done with the help of various tracking technologies. LinkedIn provides users with information, offers, and recommendations based, among other things, on the data collected in this way.

We collect your data via our company profile solely for the purpose of enabling communication and interaction with us. This survey generally includes your name, message content, comment content, and the profile information you have made “public.”

The processing of your personal data for the purposes mentioned above is based on our legitimate business and communication interests in offering an information and communication channel in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. If you, as a user, have given your consent to the respective provider of the social network to process your data, the legal basis for the processing extends to Art. 6 (1) (a), Art. 7 GDPR.

Due to the fact that the actual data processing is carried out by the social network provider, our access to your data is limited. Only the provider of the social network is authorized to have full access to your data. For this reason, only the provider can directly take and implement appropriate measures to fulfill your user rights (request for information, request for deletion, objection, etc.). The most effective way to assert such rights is therefore directly with the respective provider.

We are jointly responsible with LinkedIn for the personal content of our company profile. Data subjects’ rights can be asserted with LinkedIn Inc. and with us.

We do not make any decisions regarding the data collected on LinkedIn’s website using tracking technologies.

Further information about storage duration/deletion and guidelines on the use of cookies and similar technologies in connection with registration and use of LinkedIn can be found at: https://de.linkedin.com/legal/cookie-policy?trk=homepage-basic_footer-cookie-policy.

8. Information about your right to object as per Art. 21 GDPR

You have the right to object at any time to the processing of your data on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR (data processing based on a balancing of interests) or Art. 6 (1) (e) GDPR (data processing in the public interest) if there are reasons for this arising from your particular situation.

If you object, we will no longer process your personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that override your interests, rights, and freedoms, or unless the processing serves to assert, exercise, or defend legal claims.

We may also process your personal data for the purpose of sending you postal advertising, mailings, and, where applicable, direct marketing emails. If you do not wish to receive advertising, you have the right to object to this at any time. We will take this objection into account for the future and will no longer process your data for direct marketing purposes.

The objection can be made informally and should be addressed to
