General information on data processing

1. scope of the processing of personal data

As a matter of principle, we process personal data of our users only insofar as this is necessary for the provision of a functional website as well as our content and services. The processing of personal data of our users is regularly carried out only with the consent of the user. An exception applies in those cases where obtaining prior consent is not possible for factual reasons and the processing of the data is required by legal regulations.

Our website uses the pixel-counting technology of WiredMinds GmbH(www.wiredminds.de) to analyze visitor behavior. Here, the IP address of a visitor is processed. The processing takes place exclusively for the purpose of collecting company-relevant information such as the company name. IP addresses of natural persons are excluded from further use (whitelist procedure). The IP address is not stored in LeadLab under any circumstances. When processing data, it is our particular interest to safeguard the data protection rights of natural persons. Our interest is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. (f) GDPR. At no time does the data we collect allow us to draw conclusions about an identifiable person.

WiredMinds GmbH uses this information to compile anonymous usage profiles relating to visitor behavior on our website. The data obtained in this process is not used to personally identify the visitor to our website.

Exclude from tracking (To exclude you permanently from tracking by WiredMinds LeadLab on this website, a technically necessary cookie is set).

2. legal basis for the processing of personal data

Insofar as we obtain the consent of the data subject for processing operations of personal data, Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. a EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) as the legal basis.

When processing personal data that is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. b DSGVO as the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations that are necessary for the performance of pre-contractual measures.

Insofar as the processing of personal data is necessary for the fulfillment of a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. c DSGVO as the legal basis.

In the event that vital interests of the data subject or another natural person require the processing of personal data, Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. d DSGVO as the legal basis.

If the processing is necessary to protect a legitimate interest of our company or a third party and the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not override the former interest, Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. f DSGVO as the legal basis for the processing.

3. data deletion and storage

The personal data of the data subject shall be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of the storage ceases to apply. In addition, storage may take place if this has been provided for by the European or national legislator in Union regulations, laws or other provisions to which the controller is subject. Data will also be blocked or deleted if a storage period prescribed by the aforementioned standards expires, unless there is a need to continue storing the data for the conclusion or fulfillment of a contract.

  1. the processing is based on consent pursuant to. Art. 6 par. 1 p. 1 lit. a DSGVO or Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a DSGVO or on a contract pursuant to. Art. 6 par. 1 p. 1 lit. b DSGVO is based and
  2. the processing is carried out with the help of automated procedures.

In exercising this right, you also have the right to obtain that the personal data concerning you be transferred directly from one controller to another controller, insofar as this is technically feasible. Freedoms and rights of other persons must not be affected by this.

You have the right to revoke your declaration of consent under data protection law at any time. The revocation of consent does not affect the lawfulness of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent until the revocation.

9. automated decision in individual cases including profiling

You have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing – including profiling – which produces legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affects you. This does not apply if the decision

Hosting

The website is hosted on servers of a service provider contracted by us.

Raidboxes

The servers automatically collect and store information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits when you visit the website. The information stored is:

  • Browser type and version
  • Operating system used
  • Referrer URL
  • Host name of the accessing computer
  • Date and time of the server request
  • IP address

This data is not merged with other data sources. The collection of this data is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the technically error-free presentation and optimization of his website – for this purpose, the server log files must be recorded.

Plugins used

As part of the Digital Market Act (DMA), the EU Commission has imposed various obligations on the gatekeepers (Alphabet, Amazon, Apple, ByteDance, Meta and Microsoft). The gatekeepers are obliged to ensure compliance with all legal requirements of the Digital Market Act. Google has therefore introduced Google Consent Mode V2.

We use the BASIC Google Consent Mode V2.

Based on your consent, Consent Mode v2 decides whether or not Google tags may be loaded or executed. If you consent to the use of cookies, Google tags and trackers for Google services will be loaded and your personal data will be processed in accordance with our website settings.

If you do not give your consent, the Google tags will be loaded with a delay or not at all. Your personal data will not be forwarded to Google.

We use plugins for various purposes. The plugins used are listed below:

1. google analytics

We use Google Analytics to analyze website usage. The data obtained from this is used to optimize our website and advertising measures.

Google Analytics is a web analytics service provided by Google, Inc. (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, United States). Google processes website usage data on our behalf and contractually undertakes to take measures to ensure the confidentiality of the data processed.

During your visit to the website, the following data, among others, is recorded:

  • Pages called
  • The achievement of “website goals” (e.g., contact inquiries and newsletter sign-ups).
  • Your behavior on the pages (for example, clicks, scrolling behavior and dwell time)
  • Your approximate location (country and city)
  • Your IP address (in shortened form, so that no clear assignment is possible)
  • Technical information such as browser, Internet provider, terminal device and screen resolution
  • Source of origin of your visit (i.e. via which website or via which advertising medium you came to us)

This data is transferred to a Google server in the USA. Google complies with the data protection provisions of the “EU-US Privacy Shield” agreement.

Google Analytics stores cookies in your web browser for a period of two years since your last visit. These cookies contain a randomly generated user ID, with which you can be recognized on future website visits.

The recorded data is stored together with the randomly generated user ID, which enables the evaluation of pseudonymous user profiles. This user-related data is automatically deleted after 14 months. Other data remains stored in aggregated form indefinitely.

If you do not agree with the collection, you can prevent it with the one-time installation of the browser add-on to disable Google Analytics.

2. real cookie banner

To manage the cookies and similar technologies used (tracking pixels, web beacons, etc.) and related consents, we use the consent tool “Real Cookie Banner”. Details on how “Real Cookie Banner” works can be found at https://devowl.io/de/rcb/datenverarbeitung/.

Legal bases for the processing of personal data in this context are Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c DS-GVO and Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. Our legitimate interest is to manage the cookies and similar technologies used and the related consents.

The provision of personal data is neither contractually required nor necessary for the conclusion of a contract. You are not obliged to provide the personal data. If you do not provide the personal information, we will not be able to manage your consents.

3. LinkedIn Insight Tag

Our website uses the conversion tool “LinkedIn Insight Tag” of LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company. This tool creates a cookie in your web browser that allows the collection of, among other things, the following data: IP address, device and browser properties, and page events (e.g. page views). This data is encrypted, anonymized within seven days, and the anonymized data is deleted within 90 days. LinkedIn does not share personally identifiable information with Polygran, but provides anonymized reports on website audience and display performance. In addition, LinkedIn offers the possibility of retargeting via the Insight Tag. Polygran may use this data to display targeted advertisements outside of its website without identifying you as a website visitor. You can find more detailed information on data protection at LinkedIn in the LinkedIn privacy notices.

LinkedIn members can control the use of their personal data for advertising purposes in their account settings. To disable the Insight tag on our website (“opt-out”) click here.
