Disclosure of Data to Third Parties (Including Joint Controllers and Data Processors)

Your personal data will not be transmitted to third parties for purposes other than those listed.

We use cookies on our website (session cookies, temporary, and permanent cookies). These are small files automatically created by your browser and stored on your device (laptop, tablet, smartphone, etc.) when you visit our site. A cookie does not necessarily mean that we can identify you.

Cookies are used to track usage frequency, number of users, and behaviors on our website, improve the security of website usage, and optimize our informational offering. This includes cookies from Google to measure the effectiveness of our advertising. Once you leave the website, these cookies are automatically deleted.

We also use temporary cookies to optimize user-friendliness. These cookies are stored on your device for a specified period. When you visit our website again, it automatically recognizes that you have previously visited and remembers your input and settings to save you from re-entering them.

Analytics Tools

Google Analytics

Our website uses the web analytics service Google Analytics from Google Inc., USA. Google Analytics uses cookies (see Cookies section). These enable the analysis of the use of our website, including IP addresses, by Google in the USA. We have extended Google Analytics on this website with the code "gat._anonymizeIp();" to ensure the anonymization of IP addresses (IP masking). When anonymization is active, Google truncates IP addresses within member states of the European Union or other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area, preventing direct identification. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transmitted to a Google server in the USA and truncated there. Google complies with the "Swiss-USA Privacy Shield" agreement, ensuring an adequate level of data protection. Google uses the collected information to evaluate the use of our website, compile reports for us, and provide other related services. For more information, visit www.google.com/intl/de/analytics/privacyoverview.html, especially concerning the possibility of deactivating Google Analytics under http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de.

Social Media Plug-ins

We use social media plug-ins on our website to increase awareness of our company. The underlying advertising purpose constitutes a legitimate interest under Article 6(1) lit. f GDPR. The respective providers are responsible for ensuring compliance with data protection regulations when using these plug-ins.

When you use these plug-ins, either independently or in connection with our website, the social networks evaluate your use of the plug-in. Information is transmitted to the social networks via the plug-in.

Twitter

Our website integrates plug-ins from the social network Twitter Inc. The Twitter plug-ins ("Tweet" button) can be identified by the Twitter logo and the "Tweet" label. When you visit a page of our website containing such a plug-in, a direct connection between your browser and the Twitter server is established. Twitter receives the information that you have visited our site with your IP address. If you click the Twitter button while logged into your Twitter account, you can link the content of our pages to your Twitter profile. Twitter can thereby associate the visit to our pages with your user account. We have no knowledge of the content of the transmitted data or its use by Twitter. For more information, see: http://twitter.com/privacy.

Our website integrates plug-ins from LinkedIn Corporation, USA. The LinkedIn plug-in ("LinkedIn Recommended" button) can be identified by the LinkedIn logo. When you visit a page of our website containing such a plug-in, a direct connection between your browser and the LinkedIn server is established. LinkedIn receives the information that you have visited our site with your IP address. If you click the LinkedIn button while logged into your LinkedIn account, you can link the content of our pages to your LinkedIn profile. LinkedIn can thereby associate the visit to our pages with your user account. We have no knowledge of the content of the transmitted data or its use by LinkedIn. For more information, see: www.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy.
