In the event that vital interests of the data subject or another natural person require the processing of personal data, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. d GDPR will be the legal basis.


8. Security Measures

In accordance with Art. 32 GDPR, taking into account the state of technology, the implementation costs and the type, scope, circumstances and purposes of processing as well as the different probability of occurrence and severity of the risk for the rights and freedoms of natural persons, we make suitable technical and organisational measures to ensure a level of protection appropriate to the risk.

The measures include, in particular, securing the confidentiality, integrity and availability of data by controlling physical access to the data, as well as the access, input, forwarding, ensuring availability and their separation. In addition, we have set up procedures that ensure the exercise of data subject rights, deletion of data and reaction to data threats. Furthermore, we already consider the protection of personal data during the development or selection of hardware, software and procedures, in accordance with the principle of data protection through technology design and data protection-friendly default settings (Art. 25 GDPR).

14. Cookies and right to object to direct mail

"Cookies" are small files that are stored on the users' computers. Various information can be stored within the cookies. A cookie is primarily used to store information about a user (or the device on which the cookie is stored) during or after their visit to an online offer. Temporary cookies, or "session cookies" or "transient cookies", are cookies that are deleted after a user leaves an online offer and closes his browser. In such a cookie, e.g. the contents of a shopping cart in an online shop or a login status can be saved. Cookies are referred to as "permanent" or "persistent" and remain stored even after the browser is closed. E.g. the login status can be saved if the user visits it after several days. The interests of users can also be stored in such a cookie, which are used for range measurement or marketing purposes. "Third-party cookies" are cookies that are offered by providers other than the person responsible for operating the online offer (otherwise, if they are only their cookies, they are referred to as "first-party cookies”).

We can use temporary and permanent cookies and clarify this as part of our data protection declaration.

If users do not want cookies to be stored on their computer, they are asked to deactivate the corresponding option in the system settings of their browser. Saved cookies can be deleted in the system settings of the browser. The exclusion of cookies can lead to functional restrictions of this online offer.

A general objection to the use of cookies used for online marketing purposes can be made for a large number of services, especially in the case of tracking, via the US site http://www.aboutads.info/choices/ or the EU site http://www.youronlinechoices.com/ explained. Furthermore, cookies can be saved by deactivating them in the browser settings. Please note that you may then not be able to use all the functions of this online offer.


15. Deletion of data

The data processed by us will be deleted or restricted in their processing in accordance with Art. 17 and 18 GDPR. Unless expressly stated in this data protection declaration, the data stored by us will be deleted as soon as they are no longer required for their intended purpose and the deletion does not conflict with any statutory retention requirements. If the data is not deleted it is because it is required for other and legally permissible purposes, their processing is restricted. I.e. the data will be blocked and not processed for other purposes. This applies e.g. to data that must be kept for commercial or tax reasons.

According to legal requirements in Germany, the storage takes place in particular for 10 years according to §§ 147 Abs. 1 AO, 257 Abs. 1 Nr. 1 and 4, Abs. 4 HGB (books, records, management reports, accounting documents, trading books, documents relevant for taxation , etc.) and 6 years according to § 257 Paragraph 1 No. 2 and 3, Paragraph 4 HGB (commercial letters).


16. Business Processing

We also process

  • Contract data (e.g., subject of the contract, term, customer category)
  • Payment data (e.g., bank details, payment history)

of our customers, interested persons and business partners for the purpose of providing contractual services, service and customer care, marketing, advertising and market research.


16.1 Contractual Services

We process the data of our contractual partners and interested parties as well as other clients, customers, clients or contractual partners (uniformly referred to as "contractual partners") in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b. GDPR in order to provide you with our contractual or pre-contractual services. The data processed, the type, scope and purpose and the necessity of their processing are determined by the underlying contractual relationship.

The processed data includes the master data of our contractual partners (e.g. names and addresses), contact details (e.g. email addresses and telephone numbers) as well as contract data (e.g. services used, contract content, contractual communication, names of contact persons) and payment data (e.g. bank details, payment history).

As a matter of principle, we do not process special categories of personal data, unless these are part of a commissioned or contractual processing.

We process data that are required for the establishment and fulfilment of the contractual services and point out the necessity of their disclosure, should this not be evident for the contractual partner. Disclosure to external persons or companies only takes place if it is required under a contract. This is e.g. the case if personal data is provided in the context of job advertisements, organisational profiles or advertisements on our platform or in our publications, e.g. are supplied for the purpose of application opportunities by the contractual partner. Job advertisements, organisation profiles or advertisements can also be transmitted in full or in part to our cooperation partners as part of an increase in reach. When processing the data provided to us as part of an order, we act in accordance with the instructions of the client and the legal requirements.

We process the personal data received in connection with a contract or a request from a contractual partner or interested party on the basis of a legitimate interest according to Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 f GDPR, even after the end of the contract or, if no contract was concluded, in order to be able to recommend suitable services as part of our customer service based on previous contracts or inquiries.

When using our online services, we can save the IP address and the time of the respective user action. The storage takes place on the basis of our legitimate interests, as well as the interests of the users in protection against misuse and other unauthorised use. A transfer of this data to third parties does not take place, unless it is necessary to pursue our claims acc. Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f. GDPR or there is a legal obligation to do so in accordance with. Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c. GDPR.

The data will be deleted when the data is no longer required to fulfil contractual or legal duties of care or to deal with any warranty or comparable obligations, whereby the need to store the data is assessed every three years; Furthermore, the statutory retention requirements apply.


16.2 Administration, financial accounting, office organisation, contact management

We process data in the context of administrative tasks as well as the organisation of our operations, financial accounting and compliance with legal obligations, such as archiving. In doing so, we process the same data that we process in the context of providing our contractual services. The processing bases are Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. c. GDPR, Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f. GDPR. Customers, interested parties, business partners and website visitors are affected by the processing. The purpose and our interest in processing lies in administration, financial accounting, office organisation, archiving of data, i.e. tasks that serve to maintain our business activities, perform our tasks and provide our services. The deletion of the data with regard to contractual services and contractual communication corresponds to the information given for these processing activities.

We disclose or transmit data to the financial administration, consultants, such as tax consultants or auditors, as well as other fee offices and payment service providers.

Furthermore, on the basis of our business interests, we store information about customers, suppliers, organisers and other business partners, e.g. for later contact. We generally store this mostly company-related data permanently.


16.3 Business Analysis and Market Research

In order to operate our business economically, to be able to recognise market trends, wishes of the contractual partners and users, we analyse the data available to us on business transactions, contracts, inquiries, etc. We process inventory data, communication data, contract data, payment data, usage data, metadata on the basis of Art . 6 para. 1 lit. f. GDPR, whereby the persons concerned include contractual partners, interested parties, customers, visitors and users of our online offer.

The analyses are carried out for the purpose of business evaluations, marketing and market research. We can provide the profiles of the registered users with information, e.g. to the services they have used. The analyses serve us to increase the user-friendliness, the optimisation of our offer and the economic efficiency. The analyses serve us alone and are not disclosed externally, unless these are anonymous analyses with summarised values.

If these analyses or profiles are personal, they will be deleted or anonymised upon termination by the user, otherwise after two years from the conclusion of the contract. Otherwise, the overall business analysis and general tendency determinations are created anonymously where possible.


16.4 Direct Marketing

As far as legally permissible, we process personal data of our customers and other companies that have not yet had a business relationship with us for the purpose of direct advertising. In addition to the company data, we also process the contact details of the respective contact persons of these companies where necessary. We only process the information that we have received from these companies ourselves or that comes from publicly accessible sources. The legal basis is a legitimate interest in direct mail within the meaning of Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 f GDPR in conjunction with Recital 47 GDPR. We store the data for this purpose for as long as we are interested in concluding a contract with the company concerned or until an objection has been declared.

The data subjects can object to the processing of their personal data at any time via our contact details to the data protection officer. In the case of direct mail via email, we offer an opt-out link that you can use to raise your objection.


17. Contacting us

20. Data order processing by external service providers


20.1 Google Tag Manager

Google Tag Manager is a solution with which we can manage so-called website tags via an interface (and thus, for example, integrate Google Analytics and other Google marketing services into our online offer). The Tag Manager itself (which implements the tags) does not process any personal user data. With regard to the processing of users' personal data, reference is made to the following information on Google services. Usage guidelines: https://www.google.com/intl/de/tagmanager/use-policy.html.


20.2 Google Analytics

On the basis of our legitimate interests (i.e. interest in the analysis, optimisation and economic operation of our online offer within the meaning of Art. 6 Paragraph 1 lit. f. GDPR), we use Google Analytics, a web analysis service provided by Google LLC (“Google”). Google uses cookies. The information generated by the cookie about the use of the online offer by the user is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there.

Google is certified under the Privacy Shield Agreement and thus offers a guarantee to comply with European data protection law (https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt000000001L5AAI&status=Active).

Google will use this information on our behalf to evaluate the use of our online offer by users, to compile reports on the activities within this online offer and to provide us with other services related to the use of this online offer and the internet. In doing so, pseudonymous user profiles can be created from the processed data.

We only use Google Analytics with activated IP anonymisation. This means that the IP address of the user is shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. The full IP address is only transmitted to a Google server in the USA in exceptional cases and shortened there.

The IP address transmitted by the user's browser will not be merged with other Google data. Users can prevent the storage of cookies by setting their browser software accordingly; Users can also prevent Google from collecting the data generated by the cookie relating to their use of the online offer and prevent google from processing this data by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available under the following link: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de.

You can find more information on the use of data by Google, setting and objection options in Google's data protection declaration (https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads) and in the settings for the display of advertisements by Google (https://adssettings.google.com/authenticated).

The personal data of users are deleted or anonymised after 14 months of inactivity.


20.3 Google Universal Analytics, Google Analytics 4, Google Signals

We use Google Analytics in the form of "Universal-Analytics". "Universal Analytics" refers to a process by Google Analytics in which the user analysis is carried out on the basis of a pseudonymous user ID and a pseudonymous profile of the user is created with information from the use of different devices (so-called "cross-device tracking").

We also use the "Google Signals" extension for cross-device tracking. This extension makes it possible to identify website visitors regardless of the device used. Prerequisite for this identification is that visitors have logged in to a Google service before visiting the website and have turned on “ads personalization” in their Google account settings. No personal data or user profiles are accessible to us. We solely work with anonymous profiles.

If you do not wish “Google Signals” to be used for this cross-device identification, you may turn off “ads personalization” in your Google account settings.

We started using Google Analytics 4 on January 1st, 2021.


20.4 Target group formation with Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics to only display the advertisements placed within Google's advertising services and its partners to users who have also shown an interest in our online offer or who have certain characteristics (e.g. interests in certain topics or products that are based on the visited Websites) that we transmit to Google (so-called “re-marketing" or "Google Analytics audiences"). With the help of re-marketing audiences, we would also like to ensure that our ads correspond to the potential interest of the users.


20.5 Google AdWords and Conversion Measurement

We use the services of Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheater Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043 on the basis of our legitimate interests (i.e. interest in the analysis, optimisation and economic operation of our online offer within the meaning of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f. GDPR) , USA, ("Google").

Google is certified under the Privacy Shield Agreement and thus offers a guarantee to comply with European data protection law (https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt000000001L5AAI&status=Active).

We use the online marketing process Google "AdWords" to place advertisements in the Google advertising network (e.g. in search results, in videos, on websites, etc.) so that they can be displayed to users who have a presumed interest in the advertisements. This allows us to display advertisements for and within our online offer, in a more targeted manner, in order to only present users with advertisements that potentially correspond to their interests. If a user is shown ads e.g. Ads for products that he was interested in on other online offers, this is known as “re-marketing". For these purposes, when our and other websites on which the Google advertising network is active, a code is immediately executed by Google and so-called (re) marketing tags (invisible graphics or code, also known as " Web Beacons "called) integrated into the website. With their help, an individual cookie, i.e. a small file is saved (instead of cookies, comparable technologies can also be used). This file records which websites the user has visited, which content he is interested in and which offers the user has clicked, as well as technical information on the browser and operating system, referring websites, visiting time and other information on the use of the online offer.

Furthermore we also receive an individual "conversion cookie". The information obtained with the help of the cookie is used by Google to create conversion statistics for us. However, we only learn the anonymous total number of users who clicked on our ad and were redirected to a page with a conversion tracking tag. However, we do not receive any information with which users can be personally identified.

The data of the users are processed pseudonymously within the framework of the Google advertising network. I.e. Google stores and processes e.g. not the name or email address of the user, but processes the relevant data cookie-related within pseudonymous user profiles. I.e. From Google's point of view, the advertisements are not managed and displayed for a specifically identified person, but for the cookie holder, regardless of who this cookie holder is. This does not apply if a user has expressly allowed Google to process the data without this pseudonymisation. The information collected about the users is transmitted to Google and stored on Google's servers in the USA.

You can find more information on the use of data by Google, setting and objection options in Google's data protection declaration (https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads) and in the settings for the display of advertisements by Google (https://adssettings.google.com/authenticated).


20.6 Google Double-click

We use the services of Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheater Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043 on the basis of our legitimate interests (i.e. interest in the analysis, optimisation and economic operation of our online offer within the meaning of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f. GDPR) , USA, ("Google").

Google is certified under the Privacy Shield Agreement and thus offers a guarantee to comply with European data protection law (https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt000000001L5AAI&status=Active).

We use the online marketing process Google "Double-click" to place advertisements in the Google advertising network (e.g. in search results, in videos, on websites, etc.). Double Click is characterised by the fact that advertisements are displayed in real time, based on the presumed interests of the users. This allows us to display advertisements for and within our online offer in a more targeted manner in order to only present users with advertisements that potentially correspond to their interests. If a user was shown e.g. Ads for products that he was interested in on other online offers this is called “re-marketing". For these purposes, when our and other websites on which the Google advertising network is active, a code is immediately executed by Google and so-called (re) marketing tags (invisible graphics or code, also known as " Web Beacons "called) are integrated into the website. With their help, an individual cookie, i.e. a small file is saved (instead of cookies, comparable technologies can also be used). This file records which websites the user has visited, which content he is interested in and which offers the user has clicked, as well as technical information on the browser and operating system, referring to websites, visiting time and other information on the use of the online offer.

The IP address of the user is also recorded, although it is shortened within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area and only transferred in full to a Google server in the USA and shortened there in exceptional cases. The aforementioned information can also be combined by Google with information from other sources. If the user then visits other websites, they can be shown advertisements tailored to them according to their presumed interests based on their user profile.

The data of the users are processed pseudonymously within the framework of the Google advertising network. I.e. Google stores and processes e.g. not the name or email address of the user, but processes the relevant data cookie-related within pseudonymous user profiles. I.e. From Google's point of view, the advertisements are not managed and displayed for a specifically identified person, but for the cookie holder, regardless of who this cookie holder is. This does not apply if a user has expressly allowed Google to process the data without this pseudonymisation. The information collected by Google Marketing Services about users is transmitted to Google and stored on Google's servers in the USA.

You can find more information on the use of data by Google, setting and objection options in Google's data protection declaration (https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads) and in the settings for the display of advertisements by Google (https://adssettings.google.com/authenticated).


20.7 Range measurement with Matomo

As part of the range analysis by Matomo (formerly Piwik), the following data are processed on the basis of our legitimate interests (i.e. interest in the analysis, optimisation and economic operation of our online offer within the meaning of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit.f GDPR): The browser type and version you are using, the operating system you are using, your country of origin, the date and time of the server request, the number of visits, how long you have stayed on the website and the external links you have clicked. The user's IP address is anonymised before it is saved.

Matomo uses cookies that are stored on the user's computer and that enable an analysis of the use of our online offer by the user. In doing so, pseudonymous user profiles can be created from the processed data. The cookies are stored for one week. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is only stored on our server and is not passed on to third parties.

Users can object to the anonymous data collection by the Matomo program at any time with future effect by clicking on the link below. In this case, a so-called opt-out cookie is stored in your browser, which means that Matomo no longer collects any session data. However, if users delete their cookies, this means that the opt-out cookie is also deleted and must therefore be reactivated by the user.

The logs with user data will be deleted after 6 months at the latest.


20.8 Facebook-Pixel, Custom Audiences und Facebook-Conversion

Due to our legitimate interests in the analysis, optimisation and economic operation of our online offer and for these purposes, the so-called "Facebook pixel" of the social network Facebook, which is operated by Facebook Inc., 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025 , USA, or if you are based in the EU, Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbor, Dublin 2, Ireland ("Facebook") is used.

Facebook is certified under the Privacy Shield Agreement and thus offers a guarantee to comply with European data protection law (https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt0000000GnywAAC&status=Active).

With the help of the Facebook pixel, Facebook is able to determine the visitors of our online offer as a target group for the presentation of advertisements (so-called "Facebook ads"). Accordingly, we use the Facebook pixel to only display the Facebook ads placed by us to Facebook users who have also shown an interest in our online offer or who have certain characteristics (e.g. interests in certain topics or products based on the visited Websites) that we transmit to Facebook (so-called “Custom Audiences”). With the help of the Facebook pixel, we also want to ensure that our Facebook ads correspond to the potential interest of the users and are not annoying. With the help of the Facebook pixel, we can also understand the effectiveness of the Facebook ads for statistical and market research purposes by seeing whether users have been redirected to our website after clicking on a Facebook ad (so-called “conversion”).

The processing of the data by Facebook takes place within the framework of Facebook's data usage guidelines. Accordingly, general information on the presentation of Facebook ads can be found in Facebook's data usage guidelines: https://www.facebook.com/policy.php. Special information and details about the Facebook pixel and how it works can be found in the Facebook help section: https://www.facebook.com/business/help/651294705016616.

You can object to the collection by the Facebook pixel and the use of your data to display Facebook ads. In order to set which types of advertisements are shown to you within Facebook, you can call up the page set up by Facebook and follow the instructions there on the settings for usage-based advertising: https://www.facebook.com/settings?tab=ads. The settings are platform-independent, i.e. they are adopted for all devices such as desktop computers or mobile devices.

You can also use cookies, which are used for range measurement and advertising purposes, via the deactivation page of the network advertising initiative (http://optout.networkadvertising.org/) and the US website (http://www.aboutads.info/choices) or the European website (http://www.youronlinechoices.com/uk/your-ad-choices/).


20.9 Bing Ads
