Private Policy

We are committed to protecting the privacy of your personal data. For that reason, we process your data exclusively in accordance with the legal requirements (GDPR, Federal Data Protection Act [BDSG]). The purpose of this privacy information is to acquaint you with the most important aspects of data processing that come to bear when you visit our website.

General data collection activities during website visits

Every time a data subject or an automated system accesses the website, we collect a range of general data and information. This general data and information is stored in the server's log files. The data and information we collect are:

• an internet protocol address (IP address),
• the data and time of accessing the website,
• the exact page accessed on our website,
• the website from which you accessed our website (known as the referer),
• the browser used and the version of this browser,
• and the operating system used to access our website.

We process this data for the following purposes:

• to warrant a smooth connection with the website,
• to optimise content for you on our website,
• and to warrant system security and stability.

These points are both in your and our legitimate interest. Where necessary, we also use this data to meet our legal obligations in dealings with law enforcement agencies. We will never use the data collected to identify you as a person. The legal basis for this processing is article 6 (1) (f) GDPR. We store these log files for a period of 2 months.

Google Maps

This site uses the Google Maps map service via an API. It is operated by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Irland. To use Google Maps, it is necessary to save your IP address. This information is generally transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. The provider of this site has no influence on this data transfer. The use of Google Maps is in the interest of making our website appealing and to facilitate the location of places specified by us on the website. This constitutes a justified interest pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR.

Further information about handling user data, can be found in the data protection declaration of Google at policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en.

By using our form you agree that we may process your data. We will not disclose this data to any third party and will use the data exclusively for processing your request and for answering your enquiry. Your consent according to article 6 (1) (a) GDPR forms the legal basis for processing your data. In case you contact us by email, the basis is article 6 (1) (f) GDPR. The data we collect during this process will be deleted as soon as it is no longer required for the purpose you provided it. This is the case when the respective conversation is finished. This in turn is the case when your enquiry appears to be resolved completely. If you contact us for placing a contract, a further legal basis is article 6 (1) (b) GDPR. In this case we keep your enquiry as a business letter for 7 years.

Start-up check

If you use our start-up check, we will collect your name, your email address, your telephone number and your postal address as this will allow us to send you your personal analysis and, as a pre-contractual measure, to offer you advice on your start-up. Therefore article 6 (1) (b) GDPR forms the legal basis for processing your data. Because such correspondence qualifies as a business letter, we will retain the data for a period of 7 years. We will not disclose this data without your consent.

Verlinkung Social Media über Grafik oder Textlink

Wir bewerben auf unserer Webseite auch Präsenzen auf den nachstehend aufgeführten sozialen Netzwerken. Die Einbindung erfolgt dabei über eine verlinkte Grafik des jeweiligen Netzwerks. Durch den Einsatz dieser verlinkten Grafik wird verhindert, dass es bei dem Aufruf einer Website, die über eine Social-Media-Bewerbung verfügt, automatisch zu einem Verbindungsaufbau zum jeweiligen Server des sozialen Netzwerks kommt, um eine Grafik des jeweiligen Netzwerkes selbst darzustellen. Erst durch einen Klick auf die entsprechende Grafik wird der Nutzer zu dem Dienst des jeweiligen sozialen Netzwerks weitergeleitet.

Nach der Weiterleitung des Nutzers werden durch das jeweilige Netzwerk Informationen über den Nutzer erfasst. Es kann hierbei nicht ausgeschlossen werden, dass eine Verarbeitung der so erhobenen Daten in den USA stattfindet.

Dies sind zunächst Daten wie IP-Adresse, Datum, Uhrzeit und besuchte Seite. Ist der Nutzer währenddessen in seinem Benutzerkonto des jeweiligen Netzwerks eingeloggt, kann der Netzwerk-Betreiber ggf. die gesammelten Informationen des konkreten Besuchs des Nutzers dem persönlichen Account des Nutzers zuordnen. Interagiert der Nutzer über einen „Teilen“-Button des jeweiligen Netzwerks, können diese Informationen in dem persönlichen Benutzerkonto des Nutzers gespeichert und ggf. veröffentlicht werden. Will der Nutzer verhindern, dass die gesammelten Informationen unmittelbar seinem Benutzerkonto zugeordnet werden, muss er sich vor dem Anklicken der Grafik ausloggen. Zudem besteht die Möglichkeit, das jeweilige Benutzerkonto entsprechend zu konfigurieren.
