§2 Your rights
You have the following rights with regard to your personal data:

Taking into account the purposes of the processing, the data subject has the right to request the completion of incomplete personal data.
(3) Right to erasure pursuant to Art. 17 GDPR: The data subject has the right to request that the controller erase personal data concerning him or her without undue delay, and the controller is generally obliged to erase personal data without undue delay.

If you use the website purely for informational purposes, i.e., if you do not register or otherwise provide us with information, we only collect the personal data that your browser transmits to our server. If you wish to view our website, we collect the following data, which is technically necessary for us to display our website to you and ensure stability and security:
IP address
We collect and store this data for a limited period of time based on our legitimate interest in order to be able to derive personal data in the event of unauthorized access or attempted access to our servers (Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR).
§5 Use of cookies
We use cookies and similar functions on our websites to process device information and the personal data of our users. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your hard disk and associated with the browser you use. They allow certain information to be sent to the location that placed the cookies (here, this is us). They are designed to make the website more user-friendly and effective overall.
We distinguish between three categories of cookies: essential cookies, without which the functionality of our website would be limited, convenience cookies for the integration of external elements, and analysis cookies for statistical analyses.
We currently use two essential cookies to load the website and to continuously display the selected language on the subpages. A corresponding notice is displayed on the homepage.
These cookies are necessary for the website to function and cannot be disabled in your systems. These cookies are typically only set in response to actions you take that amount to a request for service, such as setting your privacy preferences, logging in, or completing forms.
§6 Integration of YouTube videos
(1) We have integrated YouTube videos into our online offering. These videos are stored at http://www.YouTube.com and can be played directly from our website. These are all integrated in "extended data protection mode," meaning that no data about you as a user is transferred to YouTube if you do not play the videos. The data mentioned in paragraph 2 will only be transferred once you give your consent and play the videos. We have no influence over this data transfer.
(2) By visiting the website, YouTube receives the information that you have accessed the corresponding subpage of our website. In addition, the data specified in Section 4 of this declaration will be transmitted. This occurs regardless of whether YouTube provides a user account through which you are logged in or whether no user account exists. If you are logged in to Google, your data will be assigned directly to your account. If you do not wish to be assigned to your YouTube profile, you must log out before activating the button. YouTube stores your data as user profiles and uses them for the purposes of advertising, market research and/or to tailor its website to meet your needs. Such an evaluation is carried out in particular (even for users who are not logged in) to provide tailored advertising and to inform other users of the social network about your activities on our website. You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles; to exercise this right you must contact YouTube. The legal basis for the use of YouTube is Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR.

§8 Use of Google Analytics
(1) We use the web analytics service Google Analytics on our website, provided by Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland). With the help of Google Analytics, we can analyze the behavior of visitors to our website and thereby improve our content and offerings.
(2) Google Analytics uses cookies that enable an analysis of your use of our website. The information generated by the cookies is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. In Google Analytics 4, IP anonymization is activated by default. Due to IP anonymization, your IP address is 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. According to Google, the IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics is not merged with other Google data.

The use of Google Analytics is not required for the operation of our website. You can refuse or withdraw your consent at any time via our cookie settings dialog without any disadvantages.
(4) Google processes the data on our behalf and relies on the EU Standard Contractual Clauses to ensure an adequate level of data protection. However, we point out that no data protection level comparable to that of the EU is guaranteed in the USA, and access by US authorities cannot be ruled out.

Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland
-
Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA

(7) You can withdraw your consent at any time with effect for the future by accessing the cookie settings and changing your selection there. The legality of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent until withdrawal remains unaffected.
You can also prevent the storage of cookies in advance by configuring your browser software accordingly. However, if you configure your browser to reject all cookies, some functionalities on this and other websites may be restricted. In addition, you can prevent the collection of data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) by Google, as well as the processing of this data by Google.

All of our social media channels can only be accessed by visitors to our website via an external link. We do not use any plugins or other interfaces offered by the respective networks for embedding content on our website.
We have no influence on the collection and further use of data by social networks. We therefore have no knowledge of the extent, location, and duration of data storage, the extent to which the networks comply with existing deletion obligations, the evaluations and links made to the data, and to whom the data is shared. We therefore expressly point out that user data (e.g., personal information, IP address) is stored by the network operators in accordance with their data usage guidelines and used for business purposes.
We process the data of users on our social media presences if they contact and communicate with us via, for example, comments or direct messages.
The legal basis for the processing of user data is Art. 6 (1) (b) and (f) GDPR.
Our online offering does not include any features or content from the Xing service, offered by New Work SE, Dammtorstraße 29-32, 20354 Hamburg, Germany.

We would like to point out that we have no influence on the content or scope of use of the data collected by Xing. For further information in this regard, please refer to Xing's privacy policy: https://privacy.xing.com/de/datenschutzerklaerung
