We have concluded an order processing agreement with the provider named above. This is an agreement required by data protection law, which ensures that the above-mentioned provider only processes the personal data of our website visitors in accordance with our instructions and in compliance with the GDPR.
The operators of these web pages take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with the statutory data protection legislation as well as this privacy policy.
When you use this website, various personal data is collected. Personal data refers to data with which you can be personally identified. This privacy policy explains which data we collect and what we use it for. It also explains how and for what purpose this is done.
We would like to point out that the online transmission of data (such as communication via email) may be exposed to security gaps. Completely protecting data against third-party access is impossible.
The data controller responsible for processing data on this website is:
Hoster GmbH
Example Street 1
12345 Example City
Telephone: +49123456789
Email: info@hoster.de
The data controller is the natural or legal person who alone or, together with others, decides on the purposes and means of processing personal data (e.g. names, email addresses, etc.).
Unless a specific retention period is specified in this data protection declaration, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for the data processing no longer applies. If you assert a justified request for deletion or revoke your consent to data processing, your data will be deleted unless we have other legally permissible reasons for storing your personal data (e.g. retention periods under tax or commercial law); in the latter case, the data will be deleted once these reasons no longer apply.
If you have consented to data processing, we process your personal data on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR or Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a GDPR, or on the basis of Art. 9 para. 1 GDPR if special categories of data are involved. If you have consented to the storage of cookies or have granted access to information in your end device (e.g. via device fingerprinting), data processing is also carried out on the basis of Section 25 para. 1 TTDSG. This consent may be withdrawn at any time. If your data is required for the performance of a contract or for the implementation of pre-contractual measures, we process your data on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR. Furthermore, we process your data on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR if this is necessary for the fulfilment of a legal obligation. Data processing may also be based on our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. Information on the relevant legal basis in each individual case is provided in the following paragraphs of this privacy policy.
We use tools from companies based in the USA and other third countries that are subject to different data protection agreements. Whenever these tools are active, your personal data can be transferred to these third countries and processed there. Please note that we cannot guarantee the same degree of data protection as is customary within the EU. For example, US companies are obliged to hand over personal data to security authorities without you as a data subject being able to take legal action to prevent this. Therefore it cannot be ruled out that US authorities (e.g. intelligence services) may process, evaluate and permanently store your data located on US servers for surveillance purposes. We have no influence over these processing activities.
Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. If you have previously given your consent, you can revoke it at any time. The legality of the data processing carried out prior to the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.
IF THE DATA PROCESSING IS BASED ON ART. 6 PARA. 1 LIT. E OR F GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT AT ANY TIME TO OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA FOR REASONS THAT ARISE FROM YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING BASED ON THESE PROVISIONS. THE RESPECTIVE LEGAL BASIS ON WHICH PROCESSING IS BASED CAN BE FOUND IN THIS PRIVACY POLICY. AFTER YOU EXERCISE YOUR RIGHT TO OBJECT, WE SHALL NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR DATA FOR THESE PURPOSES, UNLESS WE ARE ABLE TO PROVIDE PROOF OF COMPELLING AND LEGITIMATE GROUNDS FOR THE PROCESSING THAT OUTWEIGH YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS, OR IF THE PROCESSING SERVES THE PURPOSE OF EXERCISING, ENFORCING OR DEFENDING OF LEGAL CLAIMS (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21 PARA. 1 GDPR).
IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA IS PROCESSED FOR THE PURPOSE OF DIRECT MARKETING, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME TO THE PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA CONCERNING YOU FOR THE PURPOSE OF SUCH MARKETING; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING INSOFAR AS IT IS ASSOCIATED WITH SUCH DIRECT MARKETING. IF YOU OBJECT, YOUR PERSONAL DATA WILL THEN NO LONGER BE USED FOR THE PURPOSE OF DIRECT MARKETING (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21 PARA. 2 GDPR).
In the event of violations of the GDPR, data subjects have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of their habitual residence, place of work or the place of the alleged breach. The right to lodge a complaint is without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy.
In the case of data which we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfilment of a contract, you have the right to have this data transferred to you or to a third party in a common, machine-readable format. If you request the data to be transferred directly to another data controller, this will only take place if it is technically feasible.
This site uses SSL and 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. You can ensure that you have an encrypted connection by checking that the browser address field has changed from “http://” to “https://” and that there is a lock symbol in the browser address bar.
If SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transfer to us cannot be read by third parties.
Within the scope of the applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to obtain information free of charge concerning the personal data we have stored about you. You also have the right to know the origin of the data, who is receiving it and for what purpose the data is being processed. If necessary, you also have the right to have this data corrected or deleted. You can contact us at any time at the address given if you have any further questions on the subject of personal data protection.

Cookies have various functions. Numerous cookies are technically necessary because certain website features would not work without them (e.g. the shopping cart feature or video playback). Other cookies are used to evaluate user behaviour or to display advertising.
Cookies which are required to perform electronic communication processes or to provide specific functions at your request (e.g. to use a shopping basket) or to optimise the website (e.g. cookies for measuring website traffic) are stored pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR provided that no other legal basis has been specified. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the storage of necessary cookies in order to ensure the technically error-free and smooth provision of its services. If consent to the storage of cookies and comparable recognition technologies has been requested, processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of this consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR and Section 25 para. 1 TTDSG); this consent can be revoked at any time.

Alternatively, your browser can automatically accept cookies under certain conditions or always reject them, and you can also tell it to automatically delete cookies when closing your browser. Disabling cookies may limit the functionality of this website.
Insofar as cookies are used by third-party companies or for analytical purposes, you will be separately informed of this in this privacy policy and your consent may be required.
Our website uses CCM19 to obtain your consent to the storage of certain cookies on your end device or to the use of certain technologies and to document this consent in compliance with data protection regulations. The provider of this technology is Papoo Software & Media GmbH, Auguststr. 4, 53229 Bonn (hereinafter “CCM19”).
When you visit our website, a connection is established to the CCM19 servers in order to obtain your consent and other declarations regarding the use of cookies. CCM19 then stores a cookie in your browser in order to be able to allocate the consents you have granted or their revocation. The data collected in this way is stored until you request that we delete it, delete the CCM19 cookie yourself or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies. Mandatory statutory retention requirements remain unaffected.
CCM19 is used to obtain the legally required consent for the use of cookies. The legal basis for this is Art. 6 para. 1 sent. 1 lit. c GDPR.

This website uses features of the web analysis service, Google Analytics. The service provider is Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.
Google Analytics enables the website operator to analyse the behaviour of website visitors. In this process, the website operator receives various usage data, such as page views, duration of visit, operating systems used and the origin of the user. This data is summarised in a user ID and assigned to the respective web visitor’s end device.
We can also use Google Analytics, among other things, to record your mouse movements, scrolling movements and clicks. Furthermore, Google Analytics uses various modelling approaches to supplement the data records collected and uses machine learning technologies in the data analysis.
Google Analytics uses technologies that enable the user to be recognised for the purpose of analysing user behaviour (e.g. cookies or device fingerprinting). The information collected by Google about the use of this website is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there.
This analysis tool is used on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in analysing user behaviour in order to optimise both its website and its advertising. If a corresponding consent has been requested, processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR and Section 25 para. 1 of the German Telecommunications and Telemedia Data Protection Act (Telekommunikation-Telemedien-Datenschutzgesetz, TTDSG, insofar as the consent includes the storage of cookies or access to information in the user’s terminal device (e.g. device fingerprinting) within the meaning of the TTDSG. This consent may be withdrawn at any time.
The transfer of data to the USA is based on the standard contractual clauses of the EU Commission. You can find details here: https://privacy.google.com/businesses/controllerterms/mccs/.
You can prevent Google from collecting and processing your data by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available under the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de.
For further information on how user data is processed, please refer to the Google privacy policy at: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245?hl=de.
We have concluded an order processing contract with Google and fully implement the strict requirements of the German data protection authorities when using Google Analytics.

This website uses the Insight tag from LinkedIn. The provider of this service is LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company, Wilton Plaza, Wilton Place, Dublin 2, Ireland.
With the help of the LinkedIn Insight tag, we receive information about visitors to our website. If a website visitor is registered with LinkedIn, we can, among other things, analyse our website visitors’ key professional data (e.g. career level, company size, country, location, industry and job title) and thus better tailor our website to the respective target groups. Furthermore, we can use LinkedIn Insight tags to measure whether visitors to our websites make a purchase or undertake any other action (conversion measurement). Cross-device conversion measurement can also be carried out (e.g. from PC to tablet). The LinkedIn Insight tag also offers a retargeting function that allows us to display targeted advertising to visitors to our website outside of the website, whereby, according to LinkedIn, no identification of the advertising addressee takes place.
LinkedIn itself also collects so-called log files (URL, referrer URL, IP address, device and browser properties and time of access). The IP addresses are abbreviated or (if they are used to reach LinkedIn members across devices) hashed (pseudonymised). Direct identifiers of LinkedIn members are deleted by LinkedIn after seven days. The remaining pseudonymised data is then deleted within 180 days.
The data collected by LinkedIn cannot be assigned to specific individuals by us as the website operators. LinkedIn will store the collected personal data of website visitors on its servers in the USA and use it in the context of its own advertising measures. For details, please refer to LinkedIn’s privacy policy athttps://www.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy#choices-oblig
The legal basis for using LinkedIn Insight is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in effective advertising measures, including the use of social media. If a corresponding consent has been requested, processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR and Section 25 para. 1 of the German Telecommunications and Telemedia Data Protection Act (Telekommunikation-Telemedien-Datenschutzgesetz, TTDSG, insofar as the consent includes the storage of cookies or access to information in the user’s terminal device (e.g. device fingerprinting) within the meaning of the TTDSG. This consent may be withdrawn at any time.
The transfer of data to the USA is based on the standard contractual clauses of the EU Commission. You can find details here: https://www.linkedin.com/legal/l/dpa and https://www.linkedin.com/legal/l/eu-sccs.
You can object to the analysis of your usage behaviour as well as targeted advertising by LinkedIn via the following link: https://www.linkedin.com/psettings/guest-controls/retargeting-opt-out.
Furthermore, LinkedIn members can control the use of their personal data for advertising purposes in their account settings. To avoid data collected on our website by LinkedIn being linked to your LinkedIn account, you must log out of your LinkedIn account before visiting our website.

This website integrates videos from YouTube. The website operator is Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.
We use YouTube in enhanced privacy mode. According to YouTube, this means that YouTube does not store information about visitors to this site before they watch the video. However, the enhanced privacy mode does not necessarily exclude the sharing of data with YouTube’s partners. So, regardless of whether you watch a video or not, YouTube connects to the Google DoubleClick network.
As soon as you start to watch a YouTube video on this website, a connection to YouTube’s servers is established. The YouTube server is then informed about which of our pages you have visited. If you are logged in to your YouTube account, you are allowing YouTube to associate your browsing behaviour directly with your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account.
Furthermore, after starting a video, YouTube may store various cookies on your end device or use comparable recognition technologies (e.g. device fingerprinting). In this way, YouTube can obtain information about visitors to this website. This information is used, among other things, to capture video statistics, improve user-friendliness, and prevent fraud.
Where applicable, after a YouTube video is launched, additional data processing operations may be triggered over which we have no control.
We use YouTube in the interests of making our online presence more attractive. This constitutes a legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. If a corresponding consent has been requested, processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR and Section 25 para. 1 of the German Telecommunications and Telemedia Data Protection Act (Telekommunikation-Telemedien-Datenschutzgesetz, TTDSG, insofar as the consent includes the storage of cookies or access to information in the user’s terminal device (e.g. device fingerprinting) within the meaning of the TTDSG. This consent may be withdrawn at any time.
For further information on data protection at YouTube, please view the provider’s privacy policy at:https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de.
To ensure that fonts are presented as uniformly as possible, this website uses “web fonts” which are made available by Google. The Google fonts are installed locally. No connection is established with the Google servers.
Further information on Google Web Fonts can be found at https://developers.google.com/fonts/faq and in Google’s privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de.
We use online conference tools to communicate with our customers. The tools we use are listed in detail below. If you communicate with us by video or audio conference via the Internet, your personal data will be collected and processed by us and the provider of the respective conference tool.
The conference tools collect all data that you provide/enter in order to use the tools (your email address and/or your telephone number). Furthermore, the conference tools process the duration of the conference, start and end (time) of participation in the conference, number of participants and other “contextual information” related to the communication process (metadata).
Furthermore, the provider of the tool processes all technical data required for the handling of online communication. This includes in particular IP addresses, MAC addresses, device IDs, device type, operating system type and version, client version, camera type, microphone or loudspeaker as well as the type of connection.
If content is exchanged, uploaded or made available in any other way within the tool, it is also stored on the tool provider’s servers. Such content includes in particular cloud recordings, chat/instant messages, voicemails, uploaded photos and videos, files, whiteboards and other information that is shared while using the service.
Please note that we do not have full control over the data processing operations of the tools used. Our options largely depend on the corporate policy of the respective provider. For further information on data processing by the conference tools, please refer to the privacy policies of the respective tools used, which we have listed below this text.
The conference tools are used to communicate with prospective or existing contractual partners or to offer certain services to our customers (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR). Furthermore, the use of the tools serves the general simplification and acceleration of communication with us or our company (legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR). Insofar as consent has been requested, the tools in question are used on the basis of this consent; consent can be revoked at any time with effect for the future.
The data collected directly by us via the video and conference tools will be deleted from our systems as soon as you request that we delete it, revoke your consent to its storage or the purpose for its storage no longer applies. Cookies stored remain on your device until you delete them. Mandatory statutory retention periods remain unaffected.
We have no influence over the retention period for your data, which is stored by the operators of the conference tools for their own purposes. For details, please contact the operators of the conference tools directly.
