SSL/TLS encryption

This site uses SSL/TLS encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or requests that you send to us as the site operator.

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

Encrypted payment transactions on this website

If after the conclusion of a chargeable contract there is an obligation to provide us with your payment data (e.g. account number for direct debit authorization), this data is required for payment processing.

Payment transactions via the usual means of payment (Visa/MasterCard, direct debiting) are made exclusively via an encrypted SSL/TLS connection. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from "http://" to "https://" and by the lock symbol in your browser line.

With encrypted communication, the payment data that you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

  • If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored with us, we usually need time to verify this. For the duration of the audit, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
  • If the processing of your personal data was/is unlawful, you can request the restriction of data processing instead of deletion.
  • If we no longer need your personal data, but you need it to exercise, defend or assert legal claims, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of its deletion.
  • If you have lodged an objection under Art. 21 (1) GDPR, a balance must be struck between your interests and ours. As long as it is not yet clear whose interests prevail, you have the right to request that the processing of your personal data be restricted.

If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, this data – considered in isolation from its storage – may only be processed with your consent or for the purpose of asserting, exercising or defending legal claims or protecting the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of an important public interest of the European Union or a Member State.

5. Analysis tools and advertising

Google Analytics

This website uses functions of the web analysis service Google Analytics. The provider is Google Ireland Limited ("Google"), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

Google Analytics uses so-called "cookies". These are text files saved to your computer that enable an analysis of your use of the website. The information generated by the cookie about your use of the website is generally transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States.

The storage of Google Analytics cookies and the use of this analysis tool is performed on the basis of Art. 6 (1) f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in analyzing user behavior in order to optimize both its website and its advertising. If a corresponding consent has been requested (e.g. consent to the storage of cookies), the processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 (1) a GDPR; this consent can be revoked at any time.

IP anonymization

We have activated the IP anonymization function on this website. This will cause your IP address to be truncated by Google within Member States of the European Union or in other countries party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area before being transmitted to the USA. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address first transferred to a Google server in the USA and truncated there. Google uses this information on behalf of the operator of this website for the purpose of evaluating your use of the website, compiling reports on website activity for website operators and providing them other services relating to website activity and internet usage. The IP address that your browser conveys within the scope of Google Analytics is not associated with any other data held by Google.

Browser plugin

You may refuse the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser, however please note that if you do this you may not be able to use the full functionality of this website. In addition, you can prevent the transmission of cookie-generated data (including data related to the usage of the website and your IP address) to Google as well as the processing of this data by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available under following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de.

Objection to data collection

You can block the collection of data by Google Analytics via the following link. This will place an opt-out cookie on the computer, which prevents the future collection of your data when visiting this website: Deactivate Google Analytics.

For more information on how Google Analytics is handled, please Google’s privacy policy: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245?hl=de.

Order processing

We have concluded a contract with Google for processing and fully implement the strict requirements of the German data protection authorities for the use of Google Analytics.

Storage duration

User and event-level data stored by Google that is linked to cookies, user IDs or advertising IDs (e.g. DoubleClick cookies, Android advertising ID) is anonymized or deleted after 14 months. Details can be found under the following link: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/7667196?hl=de

Google Analytics Remarketing

This website uses the the functions of Google Analytics Remarketing in connection with the cross-device functions of Google AdWords and Google DoubleClick. The provider is Google Ireland Limited ("Google"), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

This function enables the advertising target groups created with Google Analytics Remarketing to be linked with the cross-device functions of Google AdWords and Google DoubleClick. In this way, interest-related, personalized advertising messages that were adapted to you based on your previous usage and surfing behavior on one device (e.g. mobile phone) can also be displayed on another of your devices (e.g. tablet or PC).

Once you give your permission, Google will link your web and app browsing history to your Google account for that purpose. This way, the same personalized advertising messages can be delivered to every device you sign in to with your Google account.

To support this feature, Google Analytics collects Google authenticated user IDs that are temporarily linked to our Google Analytics data to define and create target groups for the cross-device ads.

You can permanently object to cross-device remarketing/targeting by disabling personalized advertising by following this link: https://www.google.com/settings/ads/onweb/.

The summary of the data collected in your Google account is based solely on your consent, which you can submit or revoke to Google (Art. 6 (1) a GDPR). For data collection operations that are not merged into your Google account (for example, because you do not have a Google account or have opposed the merge), the collection of data is based on Art. 6 (1) f GDPR. The legitimate interest arises from the fact that the website operator has an interest in the anonymized analysis of website visitors for advertising purposes.

For more information and Google’s data protection policies, please see Google’s privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads?hl=de.

Use and application of DoubleClick

The person responsible for processing has integrated components of DoubleClick by Google on this website. DoubleClick is a brand of Google, under which mainly special online marketing solutions are marketed to advertising agencies and publishers. DoubleClick by Google is operated by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043 94043, USA. DoubleClick by Google transfers data to the DoubleClick server with every impression, click or other activity. Each of these data transfers triggers a cookie request to the browser of the user in question. If the browser accepts this request, DoubleClick places a cookie on the user’s device. Cookies have already been explained above. The purpose of the cookie is to optimize and display advertisements. The cookie is used, among other things, to place and display user-relevant advertisements and to create or improve reports on advertising campaigns. Furthermore, the cookie serves to avoid multiple insertions of the same advertisement. DoubleClick uses a cookie ID that is required to complete the technical process. For example, the cookie ID is required to display an ad in a browser. DoubleClick can also use the cookie ID to track which ads have already been displayed in a browser to avoid repeat ads. DoubleClick also uses the cookie ID to capture conversions. Conversions are recorded, for example, if a user has previously seen a DoubleClick advertisement and the user subsequently makes a purchase on the advertiser’s website using the same browser. A DoubleClick cookie does not contain any personal data. However, a DoubleClick cookie may contain additional campaign identifiers. A campaign identifier is used to identify the campaigns with which the user has already been in contact.

Each time one of the individual pages of this website is called up, which is operated by the data controller and on which a DoubleClick component has been integrated, the browser on the user’s device is automatically caused by the respective DoubleClick component to transmit data to Google for the purpose of online advertising and billing of commissions. As part of this technical process, Google becomes aware of data that Google also uses to generate commission statements. Among other things, Google can know that the user has clicked certain links on our website. The user can prevent the placement of cookies by our website at any time, as already described above, by changing the appropriate settings in the browser used to permanently object to the placement of cookies. Such browser settings would also prevent Google from placing a cookie on the user’s device. In addition, cookies already placed by Google can be deleted at any time via the browser or other software programs. Further information and the applicable privacy policy for DoubleClick by Google can be found at https://www.google.com/intl/de/policies/

Bing Ads

We use technologies from Bing Ads (bingads.microsoft.com) on this website. These are provided and operated by Microsoft Corporation, One Microsoft Way, Redmond, WA 98052-6399, USA (“Microsoft”). Microsoft will place a cookie on your device if you have accessed our website via a Microsoft Bing ad. Both Microsoft Bing and the operator can see in this way that someone has clicked on an ad, has been redirected to our website and has reached a previously defined target page (conversion page). We only see the total number of users who clicked on a Bing ad and were then redirected to the conversion page. Microsoft collects, processes and uses information about the cookie from which usage profiles are created using pseudonyms. These usage profiles are used to analyze visitor behavior and to tailor advertisements. No personal information concerning the identity of the user is processed.

If you do not want information about your behavior to be used by Microsoft as described above, you can refuse the placement of the cookie required for this purpose – for instance, by using a browser setting that generally deactivates the automatic placement of cookies. In addition, you can prevent the transmission of cookie-generated data and data relating to your usage of the website as well as the processing of this data by Microsoft by declaring your objection to this under following link: http://choice.microsoft.com/de-DE/opt-out. Further information on data protection and the cookies used by Microsoft and Bing Ads can be found on the Microsoft website https://privacy.microsoft.com/de-de/privacystatement.

Use of the Facebook Pixel (Facebook Custom Audiences):

a) We also use on our website the so-called "Facebook Pixel" of Facebook Inc. ("Facebook"). This allows interest-based advertisements ("Facebook ads") to be displayed to users of our website when they visit the Facebook social network or other websites that also use the method. Through the Facebook Pixel, your browser automatically establishes a direct connection with the Facebook server. We have no influence on the scope and further use of the data collected by Facebook through the use of this tool and therefore inform you according to our state of knowledge: By integrating the Facebook Pixel, Facebook receives the information that you have clicked on an ad from us or called up the corresponding web page of our website. If you are registered with a Facebook service, Facebook can assign the visit to your account. Even if you are not registered with Facebook or have not logged in, it is possible that the provider will learn and store your IP address and other identifying features.

b) With the use of the Facebook Pixel, we pursue the purpose of displaying Facebook ads placed by us only to those Facebook users who have also shown an interest in our online offers. With the help of the Facebook Pixel, we therefore want to ensure that our Facebook ads correspond to the potential interest of the users and do not have an irritating effect. Furthermore, we can use the Facebook Pixel to track the effectiveness of Facebook ads for statistical purposes by seeing whether users were redirected to our website after clicking on a Facebook ad. The legal basis for the use of the Facebook Pixel is Art. 6 para. 1 (f) GDPR.

c) You can object to the use of the Facebook Pixel at any time by using the following opt-out option on the cookie settings page.

d) Third party provider information: Facebook Inc., 1601 S California Ave, Palo Alto, California 94304, USA; http://www.facebook.com/policy.php; further information on data collection: http://www.facebook.com/help/186325668085084http://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/your-info-on-other#applications as well as http://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/your-info#everyoneinfo.

 

6. Newsletters

Newsletter data

If you would like to subscribe to one of the newsletters offered on the website, we require an e-mail address from you as well as information that allows us to verify that you are the owner of the e-mail address provided and that you agree to receive the newsletter. Further data will not be collected or will only be collected on a voluntary basis. We use this data exclusively for the dispatch of the requested information and do not pass it on to third parties.

The data entered in the newsletter registration form is processed exclusively on the basis of your consent (Art. 6 (1) a GDPR). You can revoke your consent to the storage of the data, the e-mail address and their use for sending the newsletter at any time, for example via the "Unsubscribe" link in the newsletter. The legality of the data processing operations up to the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

The data you provide us with for the purpose of subscribing to the newsletter will be stored by us or the newsletter service provider until you unsubscribe from the newsletter and is subsequently deleted from the newsletter distribution list after the newsletter has been canceled. Data stored by us for other purposes remains unaffected by this.

After you have been removed from the newsletter distribution list, your e-mail address may be stored in a blacklist by us or the newsletter service provider to prevent future mailings. The data from the blacklist will only be used for this purpose and will not be merged with other data. This serves both your interest and our interest in compliance with the legal requirements when sending newsletters (legitimate interest in the sense of Art. 6 (1) f GDPR). Storage in the blacklist is not limited in time. You can object to the storage if your interests outweigh our legitimate interests.

By subscribing to the Thomas Krenn newsletter, you agree to receive the newsletter and to its corresponding analysis through the individual measurement, storage and evaluation of opening and click rates in recipient profiles for the purpose of designing future newsletters according to the interests of our readers. This consent can be revoked at any time with effect for the future by unsubscribing from the newsletter distribution list.

YouTube with enhanced data protection mode

This website integrates videos from YouTube. The service is operated by Google Ireland Limited ("Google"), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

We use YouTube in enhanced data protection mode. According to YouTube, this mode has the effect that YouTube does not store any information about visitors to this website before they watch the video. However, the enhanced data protection mode does not necessarily exclude the transfer of data to YouTube partners. For instance, whether you're watching a video or not, YouTube connects to the Google DoubleClick network.

As soon as you start a YouTube video on this website, a connection to the YouTube servers is established. The YouTube server is informed which of our pages you have visited.

Furthermore, YouTube can store various cookies on your end device after starting a video. These cookies enable YouTube to obtain information about visitors to this website. This information is used, among other things, to gather video statistics, improve the user experience and prevent fraud. The cookies remain on your device until you delete them.

After the start of a YouTube video, further data processing may be triggered, over which we have no control.

YouTube is used in the interest of providing an appealing presentation of our online offers. This represents a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) f GDPR. If a corresponding consent has been requested (e.g. consent to the storage of cookies), the processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 (1) a GDPR; this consent can be revoked at any time.

9. Own services

Handling of applicant data

We offer you the opportunity to apply for a job with us (e.g. by e-mail, by mail or via online application form). In the following, we inform you about the scope, purpose and use of your personal data collected during the application process. We assure you that the collection, processing and use of your data will be in accordance with the applicable data protection law and all other legal provisions and that your data will be treated in strict confidence.

Scope and purpose of data collection

If you send us an application, we process your associated personal data (e.g. contact and communication data, application documents, notes taken during job interviews, etc.) to the extent that this is necessary to make a decisions on the potential establishment of an employment relationship. The legal basis for this is Sec. 26 of the Federal Data Protection Act (new version) under German law (initiation of an employment relationship), Art. 6 (1) b GDPR (general contract initiation) and – if you have given your consent – Art. 6 (1) a GDPR. The consent can be revoked at any time. Within our company, your personal data will only be passed on to persons who are involved in the processing of your application.

If the application is successful, the data submitted by you will be stored in our data processing systems on the basis of Sec. 26 Federal Data Protection Act (new version) and Art. 6 (1) b GDPR for the purpose of carrying out the employment relationship.

Data retention period

If we are unable to make you a job offer, you reject a job offer or withdraw your application, we reserve the right to keep the data you have submitted with us for up to 6 months from the end of the application procedure (rejection or withdrawal of the application) on the basis of our legitimate interests (Art. 6 (1) f GDPR). The data is then deleted and the physical application documents deleted. The storage of data serves in particular as evidence in the event of a legal dispute. If it is evident that the data will be required after the 6-month period has expired (e.g. due to an impending or pending legal dispute), the data will only be deleted when the purpose for further storage no longer applies.

A longer storage period can also take place if you have given your consent (Art. 6 (1) a GDPR) or if legal storage obligations prevent deletion.

Admission to the applicant pool

If we do not make you a job offer, there may be the possibility of including you in our pool of applicants. In the event of admission, all documents and details from the application are transferred to the applicant pool so that you can be contacted in the event of suitable vacancies.

Inclusion in the applicant pool is done exclusively on the basis of your expressed consent (Art. 6 (1) a GDPR). Giving consent is voluntary and has no relation to the ongoing application procedure. The person concerned can revoke their consent at any time. In this case, the data will be irrevocably deleted from the applicant pool unless there are legal reasons for retention.

The data from the applicant pool will be irrevocably deleted at the latest two years after consent has been given.
