Google Analytics is a service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (“Google”).

The information collected by the cookie about your use of our website (including your IP address) will generally be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States.

At our request, Google will only record your IP address in abbreviated form, which ensures anonymity and does not allow any conclusions to be drawn about your identity. If IP-anonymization is activated on our websites, your IP address will be shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there.

Google will use this information to evaluate your use of our websites, to compile reports on website activity for us and to provide us with other services relating to the use of websites and the Internet. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics is not combined with other data from Google. A transfer of this data by Google to third parties only takes place due to legal regulations or in the context of order processing. Under no circumstances will Google combine your data with other data collected by Google.

By using this website, you consent to the processing of data about you by Google and the manner of data processing and purpose described above. You can prevent the storage of cookies by setting your browser software accordingly. However, we would like to point out that in this case you may not be able to use all the functions of our website to their full extent.

2. Doubleclick by Google

Doubleclick by Google is a service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (“Google”). Doubleclick by Google uses cookies to show you advertisements that are relevant to you. A pseudonymous identification number (ID) is assigned to your browser in order to check which ads were displayed in your browser and which ads were accessed. The cookies do not contain any personal information. The use of DoubleClick cookies only allows Google and its affiliates to serve ads based on previous visits to our or other websites on the Internet. The information generated by the cookies is transferred by Google to a server in the USA for evaluation and stored there. A transfer of the data by Google to third parties only takes place due to legal regulations or in the context of order data processing. Under no circumstances will Google combine your data with other data collected by Google.

By using our website, you consent to the processing of data about you by Google and the previously described manner of data processing and purpose. You can prevent the storage of cookies by setting your browser software accordingly. However, we would like to point out that in this case you may not be able to use all the functions of our website to their full extent.

The link to Cleverreach’s privacy policy can be found here: https://www.cleverreach.com/en/privacy-policy/


6. Social media plugins

Our website uses social media plugins (“plugins”) from various social networks. With the help of these plugins you can, for example, share content or recommend products. The plugins are deactivated by default on our websites and therefore do not send any data. You can activate the plugins by clicking on the “Activate Social Media” button. The plugins can of course be deactivated with one click.

If these plugins are activated, your browser establishes a direct connection with the servers of the respective social network as soon as they call up a website of our Internet presence. The content of the plugin is transmitted directly from the social network to your browser, which then integrates it into the website.

By integrating the plugins, the social network receives the information that you have called up the corresponding page of our website. If you are logged in to the social network, it can assign the visit to your account. If you interact with the plugins, for example by clicking on the Facebook “Like” button or by commenting on them, your browser sends the corresponding information directly to the social network and stores it there.

The purpose and scope of the data collection and the further processing and use of the data by social networks as well as your related rights and setting options for the protection of your privacy, please refer to the data protection information of the respective networks or websites. You will find the links below.

Even if you are not signed in to social networks, websites with active social plug-ins can send data to the networks. An active plugin sets a cookie with an identifier each time the website is called. Since your browser sends this cookie each time you connect to a network server without being asked, the network could in principle use it to create a profile of which web pages the user belonging to the identifier has visited. And it would then also be quite possible to assign this identifier to a person again later – for example when registering later with the social network.

On our websites we use the following plugins:

a) Facebook
b) XING
c) LinkedIn
d) Instagram
e) Twitter
f) Social media campaign on Xing and Linkedin

If you don’t want social networks to collect information about you through active plug-ins, you can either disable the social plug-ins simply by clicking on them on our websites or select the “Block third-party cookies” feature in your browser settings. Then the browser does not send cookies to the server for embedded contents of other providers. With this setting, however, other functions than the plugins may no longer work under certain circumstances.

The right to erasure does not exist, if the processing is necessary:

  1. for exercising the right of freedom of expression and information;
  2. for compliance with a legal obligation which requires processing by Union or Member State law to which the Controller is subject or for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the Controller;

If you have obtained restriction of processing in accordance with the aforementioned prerequisites, you will be notified by the Controller before the restriction is suspended.


5. Right to information

If you have asserted the right to correction, erasure or restriction of processing against the Controller, the latter is obliged to notify this correction, erasure or restriction of processing to all the recipients, to whom the personal data pertaining to you have been disclosed, unless this proves impossible or is linked to disproportionate effort.

At your request the Controller must inform you of the identity of this recipient.

You have the right to receive the personal data concerning you, which you have provided to us, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format.

If the personal data pertaining to you are processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time to processing of personal data pertaining to you for such marketing; This applies also to profiling, if it is connected with such direct advertising.

In the context of the use of information society services, and notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC, the data subject may exercise his or her right to object by automated means using technical specifications.


8. Right to withdraw the declaration of consent under the provisions of data protection law

You may at any time withdraw your declaration of consent under data protection law. The withdrawal of consent does not affect the legality of the processing carried out prior to the withdrawal.


9. Automated individual decision-making in individual cases including profiling

You have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affects you.

This shall not apply if the decision:

  1. is necessary for entering into, or performance of, a contract between you and the Data Controller;
  2. is authorized by European Union or Member State law to which the Controller is subject and which also lays down suitable measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms and legitimate interests; or
