This privacy policy fulfills the statutory requirements for transparency in the processing of personal data. Personal data refers to all information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. This includes information such as your name, age, address, telephone number, date of birth, email address, IP address or user behavior when visiting a website. Information for which we cannot (or only with disproportionate effort) establish a connection to your person, e.g., through anonymization, does not constitute personal data. The processing of personal data (e.g., collection, querying, usage, storage, or transmission) always requires a legal basis and a defined purpose.
Stored personal data is deleted as soon as the purpose of the processing has been achieved and there are no legitimate reasons for further storage. We inform you about the specific retention periods or criteria for storage in the individual processing operations. Regardless, we store your personal data in individual cases for the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims and if there are statutory retention obligations.
We only disclose your personal data processed on our website to third parties if this is necessary to fulfill the purposes and, in individual cases, if the legal basis (e.g. consent or legitimate interest) so permits. Furthermore, we transfer personal data to third parties on a case-by-case basis if this serves the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims. Possible recipients may include law enforcement authorities, lawyers, auditors, courts, etc.
If we use service providers for the operation of our website who process personal data on our behalf as part of commissioned data processing in accordance with Art. 28 GDPR, these may be recipients of your personal data. You can find more detailed information about the use of processors and web services in the overview of the individual processing operations.
Cookies are small text files that are sent from us to your device’s browser and stored there during your visit to our website. As an alternative to using cookies, information can be stored in your browser’s local storage. Some functions of our website cannot be offered without cookies or local storage ("technically necessary cookies"). Other cookies, on the other hand, enable us to perform various analyses, such as recognizing the browser you used on your next visit and transmitting various information to us ("non-essential cookies"). Cookies help us make our online offer more user-friendly and effective, for example by analyzing your usage of our site or identifying your preferred settings (e.g. country and language settings). Where third parties process information via cookies, they collect it directly via your browser. Cookies do not harm your device, cannot run programs, and do not contain viruses.
We inform you about the specific services for which we use cookies in the individual processing operations. Detailed information about the cookies used can be found in the cookie settings or consent manager on this website.
Subject to the legal provisions of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), as a data subject you have the following rights:
Right of access under Art. 15 GDPR to the data stored about you, including informative details about the specifics of processing as well as a copy of your data;
Right to rectification under Art. 16 GDPR of incorrect or incomplete data we have stored about you;
Right to erasure under Art. 17 GDPR of data we have stored about you, provided processing is not required for the exercise of freedom of expression and information, for compliance with a legal obligation, for reasons of public interest, or for the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims;
Right to restriction of processing under Art. 18 GDPR, provided the accuracy of the data is disputed, processing is unlawful, we no longer need the data and you oppose its erasure because you need it for the assertion, exercise, or defense of legal claims, or you have objected to processing under Art. 21 GDPR;
Right to data portability under Art. 20 GDPR, provided you have given us your personal data on the basis of consent under Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR or under a contract under Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR and this data is processed by us via automated means. You will receive your data in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format or we will transmit the data directly to another controller where technically feasible.
Right to object under Art. 21 GDPR to the processing of your personal data, provided this is based on Art. 6(1)(e), (f) GDPR and there are grounds related to your particular situation, or the objection is directed against direct marketing. The right to object does not exist if compelling legitimate grounds for the processing are demonstrated or processing is necessary for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims. Where the right to object does not apply for specific processing operations, this is noted there.
Right to withdraw consent under Art. 7(3) GDPR, with effect for the future.
Right to lodge a complaint under Art. 77 GDPR with a supervisory authority if you believe that the processing of your personal data breaches the GDPR. As a rule, you can contact the supervisory authority at your place of habitual residence, your workplace, or the location of our company headquarters.
Below, we inform you about the individual processing operations, the scope and purpose of data processing, the legal basis, the obligation to provide your data, and the respective retention period. There is no automated decision-making, including profiling.

The statistics only contain aggregated, non-personal data. We cannot identify individuals from these statistics.
Which data the social networks process from you
To view the content of our fan pages/accounts, you do not need to be a member of the respective social network, nor is a user account required.

If you wish to interact with content on our fan pages/accounts, such as comment, share, or like our posts, or contact us via Messenger, you will need to register in advance with the social network and provide personal data.
We have no influence on data processing by the social networks during your use.

It cannot be ruled out that your data will be stored outside the EU/EEA and passed on to third parties.

LinkedIn is a social network operated by LinkedIn Inc., based in Sunnyvale, California, USA, which allows the creation of private and professional profiles for individuals and company profiles for organizations. Users can maintain existing contacts and establish new ones within the network. Companies and other organizations can create profiles where they upload photos and company information to present themselves as employers and recruit employees. Other LinkedIn users have access to this information and can write articles and share content with others. The main focus of the network is on professional exchange on specialist topics among people with similar career interests.
When using or visiting the network, LinkedIn automatically collects user and visitor data such as usernames, job titles, and IP addresses during use or visits. This is accomplished using various tracking technologies. LinkedIn, among other things, provides information, offers, and recommendations based on such collected data.
We only collect your data from our company profile to enable possible communication and interaction with us. This usually includes your name, message content, comment content, and any “publicly” provided profile information.
The processing of your personal data for our above-mentioned purposes is based on our legitimate business and communicative interest in providing an information and communication channel under Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. If, as a user, you have given consent to the data processing by the social network operator, the legal basis for processing also includes Art. 6(1)(a), Art. 7 GDPR.
Since the data processing is actually carried out by the social network operator, our possibilities to access your data are limited. Only the social network operator is authorized to have full access to your data. Therefore, only the operator can implement and execute measures to fulfill your user rights (data access, deletion, objection, etc.). As such, asserting these rights is most effective directly with the relevant operator.
We are jointly responsible with LinkedIn for the personal content of our company profile. Data subject rights may be asserted with LinkedIn Inc. as well as with us.
We make no decisions regarding the data collected via tracking technologies on LinkedIn’s site.
