We are very delighted that you have shown interest in our enterprise. Data protection is of a particularly high priority for the management of the DIRAK Dieter Ramsauer Konstruktionselemente GmbH. The use of the Internet pages of the DIRAK Dieter Ramsauer Konstruktionselemente GmbH is possible without any indication of personal data; however, if a data subject wants to use special enterprise services via our website, processing of personal data could become necessary. If the processing of personal data is necessary and there is no statutory basis for such processing, we generally obtain consent from the data subject.

The processing of personal data, such as the name, address, e-mail address, or telephone number of a data subject shall always be in line with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and in accordance with the country-specific data protection regulations applicable to the DIRAK Dieter Ramsauer Konstruktionselemente GmbH. By means of this data protection declaration, our enterprise would like to inform the general public of the nature, scope, and purpose of the personal data we collect, use and process. Furthermore, data subjects are informed, by means of this data protection declaration, of the rights to which they are entitled.

As the controller, the DIRAK Dieter Ramsauer Konstruktionselemente GmbH has implemented numerous technical and organizational measures to ensure the most complete protection of personal data processed through this website. However, Internet-based data transmissions may in principle have security gaps, so absolute protection may not be guaranteed. For this reason, every data subject is free to transfer personal data to us via alternative means, e.g. by telephone.

SSL or TLS encryption

This site uses SSL or TLS encryption for security reasons and for the protection of the transmission of confidential content, such as the inquiries you send to us as the site operator. You can recognize an encrypted connection in your browser’s address line when it changes from “http://” to “https://” and the lock icon is displayed in your browser’s address bar.

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

4. Cookies

The Internet pages of the DIRAK Dieter Ramsauer Konstruktionselemente GmbH use cookies. Cookies are text files that are stored in a computer system via an Internet browser.

Many Internet sites and servers use cookies. Many cookies contain a so-called cookie ID. A cookie ID is a unique identifier of the cookie. It consists of a character string through which Internet pages and servers can be assigned to the specific Internet browser in which the cookie was stored. This allows visited Internet sites and servers to differentiate the individual browser of the dats subject from other Internet browsers that contain other cookies. A specific Internet browser can be recognized and identified using the unique cookie ID.

Through the use of cookies, the DIRAK Dieter Ramsauer Konstruktionselemente GmbH can provide the users of this website with more user-friendly services that would not be possible without the cookie setting.

By means of a cookie, the information and offers on our website can be optimized with the user in mind. Cookies allow us, as previously mentioned, to recognize our website users. The purpose of this recognition is to make it easier for users to utilize our website. The website user that uses cookies, e.g. does not have to enter access data each time the website is accessed, because this is taken over by the website, and the cookie is thus stored on the user’s computer system. Another example is the cookie of a shopping cart in an online shop. The online store remembers the articles that a customer has placed in the virtual shopping cart via a cookie.

The data subject may, at any time, prevent the setting of cookies through our website by means of a corresponding setting of the Internet browser used, and may thus permanently deny the setting of cookies. Furthermore, already set cookies may be deleted at any time via an Internet browser or other software programs. This is possible in all popular Internet browsers. If the data subject deactivates the setting of cookies in the Internet browser used, not all functions of our website may be entirely usable.

Session ID.

In order to facilitate browsing through our website, we use a so-called session ID (or session identifier in full) that is allocated to each user at the beginning of each use of our website.

This session ID enables our server to identify you and/or your computer/browser as the same visitor in spite of the IP address possibly having changed in the meantime. Based on this session ID, several associated enquiries by one user can be allocated to one session.

The session ID cookie used by us will only be valid until the end of a session. It will be deleted automatically upon closing your browser.

5. Collection of general data and information

The website of the DIRAK Dieter Ramsauer Konstruktionselemente GmbH collects a series of general data and information when a data subject or automated system calls up the website. This general data and information are stored in the server log files. Collected may be (1) the browser types and versions used, (2) the operating system used by the accessing system, (3) the website from which an accessing system reaches our website (so-called referrers), (4) the sub-websites, (5) the date and time of access to the Internet site, (6) an Internet protocol address (IP address), (7) the Internet service provider of the accessing system, and (8) any other similar data and information that may be used in the event of attacks on our information technology systems.

When using these general data and information, the DIRAK Dieter Ramsauer Konstruktionselemente GmbH does not draw any conclusions about the data subject. Rather, this information is needed to (1) deliver the content of our website correctly, (2) optimize the content of our website as well as its advertisement, (3) ensure the long-term viability of our information technology systems and website technology, and (4) provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for criminal prosecution in case of a cyber-attack. Therefore, the DIRAK Dieter Ramsauer Konstruktionselemente GmbH analyzes anonymously collected data and information statistically, with the aim of increasing the data protection and data security of our enterprise, and to ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data we process. The anonymous data of the server log files are stored separately from all personal data provided by a data subject.

6. Subscription to our newsletters

On the website of the DIRAK Dieter Ramsauer Konstruktionselemente GmbH, users are given the opportunity to subscribe to our enterprise’s newsletter. The input mask used for this purpose determines what personal data are transmitted, as well as when the newsletter is ordered from the controller.

The DIRAK Dieter Ramsauer Konstruktionselemente GmbH informs its customers and business partners regularly by means of a newsletter about enterprise offers. The enterprise’s newsletter may only be received by the data subject if (1) the data subject has a valid e-mail address and (2) the data subject registers for the newsletter shipping. A confirmation e-mail will be sent to the e-mail address registered by a data subject for the first time for newsletter shipping, for legal reasons, in the double opt-in procedure. This confirmation e-mail is used to prove whether the owner of the e-mail address as the data subject is authorized to receive the newsletter.

During the registration for the newsletter, we also store the IP address of the computer system assigned by the Internet service provider (ISP) and used by the data subject at the time of the registration, as well as the date and time of the registration. The collection of this data is necessary in order to understand the (possible) misuse of the e-mail address of a data subject at a later date, and it therefore serves the aim of the legal protection of the controller.

The personal data collected as part of a registration for the newsletter will only be used to send our newsletter. In addition, subscribers to the newsletter may be informed by e-mail, as long as this is necessary for the operation of the newsletter service or a registration in question, as this could be the case in the event of modifications to the newsletter offer, or in the event of a change in technical circumstances. There will be no transfer of personal data collected by the newsletter service to third parties. The subscription to our newsletter may be terminated by the data subject at any time. The consent to the storage of personal data, which the data subject has given for shipping the newsletter, may be revoked at any time. For the purpose of revocation of consent, a corresponding link is found in each newsletter. It is also possible to unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time directly on the website of the controller, or to communicate this to the controller in a different way.

E-mail newsletter

• Information on the newsletter and consentIn the information provided below, we will inform you of the contents of our newsletter as well as the registration, dispatch and statistical evaluation procedure as well as your objection rights. By subscribing to our newsletter, you declare your consent to the receipt and the described procedure.
• Use of the mailing service provider “Campaign Monitor” The dispatch of the newsletter is performed via “Campaign Monitor”, a newsletter dispatch platform provided by the company Campaign Monitor Pty Ltd, 404/3-5 Stapleton Avenue, Sutherland, NSW, Australia, 2232. The e-mail addresses of our newsletter recipients as well as the additional data described in the framework of this information will be stored on the Campaign Monitor servers located in the USA as well as possibly in Germany and Australia. Campaign Monitor uses this information for the dispatch and evaluation of the newsletter on our behalf. Additionally, according to its own information, Campaign Monitor can use this data for the optimization or improvement of its own service, e.g. for the technical optimization of the dispatch and the presentation of the newsletter or for economic purposes in order to determine from which countries the recipients originate. However, Campaign Monitor will not use the data of our newsletter recipients in order to contact them itself and will not share the information with third parties. We trust the reliability and the IT and data security of Campaign Monitor. Campaign Monitor has committed itself to adhering to the stipulations of the GDPR and has implemented extensive internal measures in order to ensure this. You can find details on this in the following public statement: www.campaignmonitor.com/trust/gdpr-compliance/. The measures that have been taken for the security of the data can be found here: www.campaignmonitor.com/trust/security/. The business partner for the newsletter dispatch is not Campaign Monitor directly, but the agency jungepartner located in Witten, Germany. We have entered a “Data Processing Agreement” with jungepartner. This is an agreement in which jungepartner obligates itself to protect the data of our users, to process it on our behalf in accordance with the data protection regulations and in particular not to share it with third parties. You can view the data protection regulations of jungepartner here.
   
• Contents of the newsletter We will only send newsletters, e-mails and additional electronic notifications with commercial information (in the following referred to as “newsletter”) with the consent of the recipients or a legal permission. 
• Double-opt-in and logging The registration for our newsletter is performed with the use of a so-called double-opt-in procedure. This entails that following the registration, you will receive an e-mail in which you will be requested to confirm your registration. This confirmation is necessary in order to prevent anyone from using third party e-mail addresses for registration.The registrations for the newsletter are logged in order to be able to prove that the registration process is performed in accordance with the statutory requirements. This includes the storage of the time of registration and confirmation as well as the IP address. Likewise, the changes of your data stored at Campaign Monitor will be logged.  
• Registration data Providing your e-mail address is sufficient in order to register for the newsletter.  
• Statistical survey and analyses The newsletters contain a so-called “web beacon”, i.e. a pixel-sized file, which is retrieved from the Campaign Monitor server when the newsletter is opened. In the course of this retrieval, initially technical information, such as details on your web browser and your system as well as your IP address and the time of the retrieval is collected. This information is used for the technical improvement of the service on the basis of the technical data or the target groups and their reading behavior based on their retrieval location (which is determined with the use of the IP address) or the time of access. The statistical surveys also include the determination whether the newsletters are opened, when they are opened and which links are clicked. Technically, it is possible to assign this information to the individual newsletter recipients. However, it is neither our aim nor that of Campaign Monitor to observe individual users. Rather, the evaluations are used to identify the reading habits of our users and to adapt our contents to them or to send different contents in accordance with the specific interests of our users.  
• Online retrieval and data management There are instances in which we will direct the newsletter recipients to the websites of Campaign Monitor. For example, our newsletters contain a link in which the newsletter recipients can view the newsletter online (e.g. in the event of display issues in the e-mail program). Furthermore, newsletter recipients can correct their data, e.g. the e-mail address later on. Likewise, Campaign Monitor’s data protection statement can only be viewed on their website. In connection with this, we wish to inform you that Campaign Monitor’s webpages use cookies and, in this manner, personal data is processed by Campaign Monitor, its partners and the utilized service providers. We do not have any influence on this data collection. Please refer to Campaign Monitor’s data protection statement for additional information. We additionally refer you to the possibilities to object to the data collection for commercial purposes on the following websites www.aboutads.info/choices/ and www.youronlinechoices.com (for the European area). 
• Cancellation/withdrawal You can cancel the receipt of our newsletter at any time, i.e. by withdrawing your consent. With this, simultaneously your consent for the dispatch via Campaign Monitor and the statistical analyses is terminated. Unfortunately, a separate cancellation of the dispatch via Campaign Monitor or the statistical evaluation is not possible.You can find a link on the cancellation of the newsletter at the end of each newsletter.  
• Legal basis of the General Data Protection Regulation In accordance with the stipulations of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) that will take effect on May 25, 2018, we inform you that the consent for the dispatch of the e-mail addresses is performed on the basis of Art. 6 clause 1 lit. a, 7 GDPR as well as § 7 clause 2 no. 3, and clause 3 of the German Fair Trade Practices Act (UWG). The use of the mailing service provider Campaign Monitor, the performance of statistical surveys and analyses as well as the logging of the registration procedure is performed on the basis of our legitimate interests in accordance with Art. 6 clause 1 lit. f GDPR. Our interest is aimed at the use of a user-friendly and secure newsletter system, which serves both our commercial interests as well as corresponds to the expectations of the users. 7. Newsletter-TrackingThe newsletter of the DIRAK Dieter Ramsauer Konstruktionselemente GmbH contains so-called tracking pixels. A tracking pixel is a miniature graphic embedded in such e-mails, which are sent in HTML format to enable log file recording and analysis. This allows a statistical analysis of the success or failure of online marketing campaigns. Based on the embedded tracking pixel, the DIRAK Dieter Ramsauer Konstruktionselemente GmbH may see if and when an e-mail was opened by a data subject, and which links in the e-mail were called up by data subjects. Such personal data collected in the tracking pixels contained in the newsletters are stored and analyzed by the controller in order to optimize the shipping of the newsletter, as well as to adapt the content of future newsletters even better to the interests of the data subject. These personal data will not be passed on to third parties. Data subjects are at any time entitled to revoke the respective separate declaration of consent issued by means of the double-opt-in procedure. After a revocation, these personal data will be deleted by the controller. The DIRAK Dieter Ramsauer Konstruktionselemente GmbH automatically regards a withdrawal from the receipt of the newsletter as a revocation. 8. Contact possibility via the websiteThe website of the DIRAK Dieter Ramsauer Konstruktionselemente GmbH contains information that enables a quick electronic contact to our enterprise, as well as direct communication with us, which also includes a general address of the so-called electronic mail (e-mail address). If a data subject contacts the controller by e-mail or via a contact form, the personal data transmitted by the data subject are automatically stored. Such personal data transmitted on a voluntary basis by a data subject to the data controller are stored for the purpose of processing or contacting the data subject. 9. Routine erasure and blocking of personal dataThe data controller shall process and store the personal data of the data subject only for the period necessary to achieve the purpose of storage, or as far as this is granted by the European legislator or other legislators in laws or regulations to which the controller is subject to. If the storage purpose is not applicable, or if a storage period prescribed by the European legislator or another competent legislator expires, the personal data are routinely blocked or erased in accordance with legal requirements. 10.

Prescreen is an e-recruiting system with which companies can place employment ads and additionally can receive and manage applications. The operator of this service is Prescreen GmbH (New Work SE). A website operated by Prescreen GmbH (New Work SE) has been embedded via an iframe on the subpage “Career” of our website. An iframe is a defined page area on a website within which its contents are presented that are loaded from an external website (“embedded”). Current vacancies of DIRAK Dieter Ramsauer Konstruktionselemente GmbH are listed on the embedded Prescreen website, which is managed using Prescreen GmbH (New Work SE) systems. Using this page, an application process can be started for each vacancy. In the course of this, Prescreen GmbH (New Work SE) will collect personal data on behalf of DIRAK Dieter Ramsauer Konstruktionselemente GmbH for the purpose of the handling of the application procedure. Additional information on the processing of personal data in this regard can be found in Prescreen GmbH (New Work SE) data protection declaration at https://prescreen.io/en/privacy-policy/ 12. Data protection provisions about the application and use of Google+On this website, the controller has integrated the Google+ button as a component. Google+ is a so-called social network. A social network is a social meeting place on the Internet, an online community, which usually allows users to communicate with each other and interact in a virtual space. A social network may serve as a platform for the exchange of opinions and experiences, or enable the Internet community to provide personal or business-related information. Google+ allows users of the social network to include the creation of private profiles, upload photos and network through friend requests. The operating company of Google+ is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, UNITED STATES. With each call-up to one of the individual pages of this website, which is operated by the controller and on which a Google+ button has been integrated, the Internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject automatically downloads a display of the corresponding Google+ button of Google through the respective Google+ button component. During the course of this technical procedure, Google is made aware of what specific sub-page of our website was visited by the data subject. More detailed information about Google+ is available under https://developers.google.com/+/. If the data subject is logged in at the same time to Google+, Google recognizes with each call-up to our website by the data subject and for the entire duration of his or her stay on our Internet site, which specific sub-pages of our Internet page were visited by the data subject. This information is collected through the Google+ button and Google matches this with the respective Google+ account associated with the data subject. If the data subject clicks on the Google+ button integrated on our website and thus gives a Google+ 1 recommendation, then Google assigns this information to the personal Google+ user account of the data subject and stores the personal data. Google stores the Google+ 1 recommendation of the data subject, making it publicly available in accordance with the terms and conditions accepted by the data subject in this regard. Subsequently, a Google+ 1 recommendation given by the data subject on this website together with other personal data, such as the Google+ account name used by the data subject and the stored photo, is stored and processed on other Google services, such as search-engine results of the Google search engine, the Google account of the data subject or in other places, e.g. on Internet pages, or in relation to advertisements. Google is also able to link the visit to this website with other personal data stored on Google. Google further records this personal information with the purpose of improving or optimizing the various Google services. Through the Google+ button, Google receives information that the data subject visited our website, if the data subject at the time of the call-up to our website is logged in to Google+. This occurs regardless of whether the data subject clicks or doesn’t click on the Google+ button. If the data subject does not wish to transmit personal data to Google, he or she may prevent such transmission by logging out of his Google+ account before calling up our website. Further information and the data protection provisions of Google may be retrieved under https://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy/. More references from Google about the Google+ 1 button may be obtained under https://developers.google.com/+/web/buttons-policy. Data protection provisions about the application and use of LinkedInThe controller has integrated components of the LinkedIn Corporation on this website. LinkedIn is a web-based social network that enables users with existing business contacts to connect and to make new business contacts. Over 400 million registered people in more than 200 countries use LinkedIn. Thus, LinkedIn is currently the largest platform for business contacts and one of the most visited websites in the world. The operating company of LinkedIn is LinkedIn Corporation, 2029 Stierlin Court Mountain View, CA 94043, UNITED STATES. For privacy matters outside of the UNITED STATES LinkedIn Ireland, Privacy Policy Issues, Wilton Plaza, Wilton Place, Dublin 2, Ireland, is responsible. With each call-up to one of the individual pages of this Internet site, which is operated by the controller and on which a LinkedIn component (LinkedIn plug-in) was integrated, the Internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject is automatically prompted to the download of a display of the corresponding LinkedIn component of LinkedIn. Further information about the LinkedIn plug-in may be accessed under developer.linkedin.com/plugins. During the course of this technical procedure, LinkedIn gains knowledge of what specific sub-page of our website was visited by the data subject. If the data subject is logged in at the same time on LinkedIn, LinkedIn detects with every call-up to our website by the data subject—and for the entire duration of their stay on our Internet site—which specific sub-page of our Internet page was visited by the data subject. This information is collected through the LinkedIn component and associated with the respective LinkedIn account of the data subject. If the data subject clicks on one of the LinkedIn buttons integrated on our website, then LinkedIn assigns this information to the personal LinkedIn user account of the data subject and stores the personal data. LinkedIn receives information via the LinkedIn component that the data subject has visited our website, provided that the data subject is logged in at LinkedIn at the time of the call-up to our website. This occurs regardless of whether the person clicks on the LinkedIn button or not. If such a transmission of information to LinkedIn is not desirable for the data subject, then he or she may prevent this by logging off from their LinkedIn account before a call-up to our website is made. LinkedIn provides under www.linkedin.com/psettings/guest-controls the possibility to unsubscribe from e-mail messages, SMS messages and targeted ads, as well as the ability to manage ad settings. LinkedIn also uses affiliates such as Eire, Google Analytics, BlueKai, DoubleClick, Nielsen, Comscore, Eloqua, and Lotame. The setting of such cookies may be denied under www.linkedin.com/legal/cookie-policy. The applicable privacy policy for LinkedIn is available under www.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy. The LinkedIn Cookie Policy is available under www.linkedin.com/legal/cookie-policy.
 SurveyMonkeyOccasionally we ask you to participate in surveys to give us feedback about our work. We will be processing the surveys with the aid of SurveyMonkey, a service of SurveyMonkey Inc. from San Mateo, California, USA.
 Participation is on a voluntary basis and the survey respondents declare their consent for their personal data to be processed in accordance with art. 6 para. 1 letter. A of the German General Data Protection Regulation (DSGVO). The data will be saved for the duration of the survey and evaluation.
 SurveyMonkey also collects a number of data items on its own responsibility and uses tracking services, for example, to record the use of its services statistically. For specific details please refer to the Data Privacy Statement of SurveyMonkey, which you can access here.
 https://www.surveymonkey.com/mp/legal/privacy/

 DealfrontOur website uses the technologies of Dealfront (Liidio Oy as part of Dealfront Group GmbH) (“Dealfront”) to analyze visitor behavior.

In this process, the IP address of a visitor is processed.

This processing has the purpose of helping us understand which businesses (B2B) are visiting our site, by enriching IPs with associated information such as the company name or industry code.

To do this, at the beginning of the visitor’s session, their IP address and corresponding session data is matched against a large whitelist of known companies.

To increase data protection of our visitors we have turned on “IP address anonymisation”, so that only shortened values instead of the actual IP addresses will be stored. If the feature is on, we will not store the actual IP address anywhere in our systems, including logs. This anonymisation makes it impossible to connect outside IP address information later, preventing identification of an individual person.

As part of this processing, first party cookies are used in
order to analyze visitor behavior.

Whenever we process website traffic data, this is based on our legitimate interest (Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR) in optimizing our products, services, sales and marketing.

To prevent this processing activity, you (website visitor) may install and configure appropriate ad-blockers or use no-script-plugins in your browser.

The data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer required for its intended purposes. Statutory retention obligations can lead to a longer retention period of the data in question.

We have concluded a data processing agreement with Dealfront in order to ensure compliance with applicable data protection standards.

 13. Data protection provisions about the application and use of Matomo

On this website, the controller has integrated the Matomo component. Matomo is an open-source software tool for web analysis. Web analysis is the collection, gathering and evaluation of data on the behavior of visitors from Internet sites. A web analysis tool collects, inter alia, data on the website from which a data subject came to a website (so-called referrer), which pages of the website were accessed or how often and for which period of time a sub-page was viewed. A web analysis is mainly used for the optimization of a website and the cost-benefit analysis of Internet advertising. The software is operated on the server of the controller, the data protection-sensitive log files are stored exclusively on this server. The purpose of the Matomo component is the analysis of the visitor flows on our website. The controller uses the obtained data and information, inter alia, to evaluate the use of this website in order to compile online reports, which show the activities on our Internet pages. Matomo sets a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. The definition of cookies is explained above. With the setting of the cookie, an analysis of the use of our website is enabled. With each call-up to one of the individual pages of this website, the Internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject is automatically through the Matomo component prompted to submit data for the purpose of online analysis to our server. During the course of this technical procedure, we obtain knowledge about personal information, such as the IP address of the data subject, which serves to understand the origin of visitors and clicks. The cookie is used to store personal information, such as the access time, the location from which access was made, and the frequency of visits to our website. With each visit of our Internet pages, these personal data, including the IP address of the Internet access used by the data subject, are transferred to our server. These personal data will be stored by us. We do not forward this personal data to third parties. The data subject may, as stated above, prevent the setting of cookies through our website at any time by means of a corresponding adjustment of the web browser used and thus permanently deny the setting of cookies. Such an adjustment to the used Internet browser would also prevent Matomo from setting a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. In addition, cookies already in use by Matomo may be deleted at any time via a web browser or other software programs. In addition, the data subject has the possibility of objecting to a collection of data relating to a use of this Internet site that are generated by Matomo as well as the processing of these data by Matomo and the chance to preclude any such. For this, the data subject must set a “Do Not Track” option in the browser. With each setting of the opt-out cookie, however, there is the possibility that the websites of the controller are no longer fully usable for the data subject. Further information and the applicable data protection provisions of Matomo may be retrieved under https://matomo.org/privacy/. 

Data protection provisions about the application and use of Google-AdWords

On this website, the controller has integrated Google AdWords. Google AdWords is a service for Internet advertising that allows the advertiser to place ads in Google search engine results and the Google advertising network. Google AdWords allows an advertiser to pre-define specific keywords with the help of which an ad on Google’s search results only then displayed, when the user utilizes the search engine to retrieve a keyword-relevant search result. In the Google Advertising Network, the ads are distributed on relevant web pages using an automatic algorithm, taking into account the previously defined keywords.
 

The operating company of Google AdWords is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland.
 

The purpose of Google AdWords is the promotion of our website by the inclusion of relevant advertising on the websites of third parties and in the search engine results of the search engine Google and an insertion of third-party advertising on our website.
 

If a data subject reaches our website via a Google ad, a conversion cookie is filed on the information technology system of the data subject through Google. The definition of cookies is explained above. A conversion cookie loses its validity after 30 days and is not used to identify the data subject. If the cookie has not expired, the conversion cookie is used to check whether certain sub-pages, e.g, the shopping cart from an online shop system, were called up on our website. Through the conversion cookie, both Google and the controller can understand whether a person who reached an AdWords ad on our website generated sales, that is, executed or canceled a sale of goods.
 

The data and information collected through the use of the conversion cookie is used by Google to create visit statistics for our website. These visit statistics are used in order to determine the total number of users who have been served through AdWords ads to ascertain the success or failure of each AdWords ad and to optimize our AdWords ads in the future. Neither our company nor other Google AdWords advertisers receive information from Google that could identify the data subject.
 

The conversion cookie stores personal information, e.g. the Internet pages visited by the data subject. Each time we visit our Internet pages, personal data, including the IP address of the Internet access used by the data subject, is transmitted to Google in the United States of America. These personal data are stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may pass these personal data collected through the technical procedure to third parties.
 

The data subject may, at any time, prevent the setting of cookies by our website, as stated above, by means of a corresponding setting of the Internet browser used and thus permanently deny the setting of cookies. Such a setting of the Internet browser used would also prevent Google from placing a conversion cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. In addition, a cookie set by Google AdWords may be deleted at any time via the Internet browser or other software programs.
 

The data subject has a possibility of objecting to the interest based advertisement of Google. Therefore, the data subject must access from each of the browsers in use the link www.google.de/settings/ads and set the desired settings.
 

Further information and the applicable data protection provisions of Google may be retrieved under www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy/.
 

14. Data protection provisions about the application and use of YouTube

On this website, the controller has integrated components of YouTube. YouTube is an Internet video portal that enables video publishers to set video clips and other users free of charge, which also provides free viewing, review and commenting on them. YouTube allows you to publish all kinds of videos, so you can access both full movies and TV broadcasts, as well as music videos, trailers, and videos made by users via the Internet portal.

The operating company of YouTube is YouTube, LLC, 901 Cherry Ave., San Bruno, CA 94066, UNITED STATES. The YouTube, LLC is a subsidiary of Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, UNITED STATES.

With each call-up to one of the individual pages of this Internet site, which is operated by the controller and on which a YouTube component (YouTube video) was integrated, the Internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject is automatically prompted to download a display of the corresponding YouTube component. Further information about YouTube may be obtained under https://www.youtube.com/yt/about/en/. During the course of this technical procedure, YouTube and Google gain knowledge of what specific sub-page of our website was visited by the data subject.

If the data subject is logged in on YouTube, YouTube recognizes with each call-up to a sub-page that contains a YouTube video, which specific sub-page of our Internet site was visited by the data subject. This information is collected by YouTube and Google and assigned to the respective YouTube account of the data subject.

YouTube and Google will receive information through the YouTube component that the data subject has visited our website, if the data subject at the time of the call to our website is logged in on YouTube; this occurs regardless of whether the person clicks on a YouTube video or not. If such a transmission of this information to YouTube and Google is not desirable for the data subject, the delivery may be prevented if the data subject logs off from their own YouTube account before a call-up to our website is made.

YouTube’s data protection provisions, available at https://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy/, provide information about the collection, processing and use of personal data by YouTube and Google.

15. Legal basis for the processing

Art. 6(1) lit. a GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing operations for which 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 party, as is the case, for example, when processing operations are necessary for the supply of goods or to provide any other service, the processing is based on Article 6(1) lit. b GDPR. The same applies to such processing operations which are necessary for carrying out pre-contractual measures, for example in the case of inquiries concerning our products or services. Is our company subject to a legal obligation by which processing of personal data is required, such as for the fulfillment of tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6(1) lit. c GDPR. In rare cases, the processing of personal data may be necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or of another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor were injured in our company and his name, age, health insurance data or other vital information would have to be passed on to a doctor, hospital or other third party. Then the processing would be based on Art. 6(1) lit. d GDPR. Finally, processing operations could be based on Article 6(1) lit. f GDPR. This legal basis is used for processing operations which are not covered by any of the abovementioned legal grounds, if processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by our company or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject which require protection of personal data. Such processing operations are particularly permissible because they have been specifically mentioned by the European legislator. He considered that a legitimate interest could be assumed if the data subject is a client of the controller (Recital 47 Sentence 2 GDPR).

16. The legitimate interests pursued by the controller or by a third party

Where the processing of personal data is based on Article 6(1) lit. f GDPR our legitimate interest is to carry out our business in favor of the well-being of all our employees and the shareholders.

17. Period for which the personal data will be stored

Personal data will be deleted in accordance with the respectively applicable statutory regulation. This does not apply in the event that legal regulations counter the deletion or when the continued storage is required for the purpose of evidence.

In the event of a negative decision, a deletion of the data transmitted by you will be performed six months after completion of the application procedure. After the receipt of the application, if applicable, we may request the possibility of the extended storage for the consideration of your application for other vacancies. In the event that you provide such consent, we will store your application until the consent is withdrawn. When a contract is signed following your application, then your data may be stored and utilized for the purpose of the typical organization and administration processes, under observance of the pertinent regulations.

If you send an e-mail message (e.g. via the contact form), then your e-mail messages will be received at the corresponding mailboxes and will be archived for an indefinite time. E-mail messages that have been forwarded in order to reply to the request will also be additionally archived in these mailboxes.

18. Provision of personal data as statutory or contractual requirement; Requirement necessary to enter into a contract; Obligation of the data subject to provide the personal data; possible consequences of failure to provide such data

We clarify that the provision of personal data is partly required by law (e.g. tax regulations) or can also result from contractual provisions (e.g. information on the contractual partner). Sometimes it may be necessary to conclude a contract that the data subject provides us with personal data, which must subsequently be processed by us. The data subject is, for example, obliged to provide us with personal data when our company signs a contract with him or her. The non-provision of the personal data would have the consequence that the contract with the data subject could not be concluded. Before personal data is provided by the data subject, the data subject must contact any employee. The employee clarifies to the data subject whether the provision of the personal data is required by law or contract or is necessary for the conclusion of the contract, whether there is an obligation to provide the personal data and the consequences of non-provision of the personal data.

19. Existence of automated decision-making

As a responsible company, we do not use automatic decision-making or profiling.
