Data collection on this website

2.1 Processing of access data

For technical reasons, we process a limited amount of data (so-called connection data) each time our website is accessed. This data is technically necessary to establish and execute a connection between your end device and our servers. This data is processed in the main memory of the web server for the duration of the connection:

The following data or data categories are collected:

  • Amount of data transferred
  • Operating system used
  • Message whether the request was successful (via HTTP error code)
  • Message indicating why a request may have failed (using HTTP error code)
  • Referrer (website from which our main page or subpages were accessed)
  • User agent (browser type with which you access our website and version)
  • Width and height of the display screen
  • Language settings of your browser

The IP address, timestamp, HTTP error code, referrer and user agent are automatically logged when our web pages are accessed in order to ensure the

to ensure the functionality and protection of our websites. The logs are also used to optimize the website. Your IP address is only processed in the logs in abbreviated form and is therefore anonymized. It is not possible for us to create personal user profiles with this data.

The storage of information in the end user’s terminal equipment or access to information is carried out in accordance with § 25 para. 2 No. 2 TTDSG. The processing of personal data is based on our legitimate interest in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO. A balancing of interests was carried out and came to the conclusion that the processing is necessary to safeguard our legitimate interests and that these outweigh your interests, fundamental rights and freedoms that require the protection of personal data. We have a legitimate interest in making this website and the services offered on it available to users.

2.2.1 General information

This website partly uses so-called cookies and related technologies (e.g. scripts). Cookies do not damage your computer and do not contain viruses. Cookies are used to make our website more user-friendly, effective and secure. These are small text files that are stored on your device and saved by your browser, for example to “remember” information about you, such as your language settings or login information. Some of these cookies are set by us and are referred to as first-party cookies. We also use third-party cookies and related technologies that originate from a domain other than that of the website you are visiting.

By selecting the appropriate technical settings in your Internet browser, you can be notified before cookies are set and decide whether to accept them individually and prevent the storage of cookies and transmission of the data they contain. Cookies that have already been saved can be deleted at any time. However, we would like to point out that you may then not be able to use all the functions of this website to their full extent.

2.2.2. Technically required cookies and related technologies

Most of the cookies we use are so-called “session cookies”. They are automatically deleted at the end of your visit. Such cookies are absolutely technically necessary for the operation of the website and to provide the service requested by the user and therefore cannot be deactivated.

The storage of information in the end user’s terminal equipment or access to information is carried out in accordance with Section 25 para. 2 No. 2 TTDSG. The processing of personal data is based on our legitimate interest in ensuring the optimal functionality of the website and a user-friendly and effective design of our offer in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. 1 lit. f DSGVO. A balancing of interests was carried out and came to the conclusion that the processing is necessary to safeguard our legitimate interests and that these outweigh your interests, fundamental rights and freedoms that require the protection of personal data.

2.2.3 Cookies requiring consent such as analysis and tracking cookies and related technologies (e.g. tracking scripts)

Advertising, marketing and analysis tools from third-party providers are also integrated on our website. These are not technically necessary for the operation of the website, but serve, for example, to record the behavior of the user, to display advertising tailored to this or to enable an analysis of the use of our website (e.g. Google Analytics and Google Ads / DoubleClick).

We use these tools to collect the following information, for example:

  • Which links do users click on other websites to get to this website?
  • Which subpages of this website are visited when, how often and in what order?
  • What information are website users looking for?
  • Which links or offers do website users click on?

We use this information to compile statistics that help us, for example, to understand the following questions:

  • Which pages of the website are particularly attractive to users?
  • What information are users most interested in?
  • What offers should we make to our users?

An overview of all third-party services integrated on the website, as well as detailed information on each of these services, can be found in section 11.

2.3 Hosting

If you contact us by e-mail, telephone or fax on your own initiative, we will only collect your personal data (name, e-mail address, individual message) to the extent provided by you. The purpose of data processing is to process and respond to your contact request. Diese Daten geben wir nicht ohne Ihre Einwilligung weiter.

The legal basis for the processing of your data is our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO. A balancing of interests was carried out and came to the conclusion that the interests of the data subjects do not outweigh our interests in the processing. We have a legitimate interest in effectively responding to your request and, if necessary, in carrying out pre-contractual measures (e.g. advice on purchase interest, preparation of offers) with business customers, for which the processing of the data and data categories mentioned here is necessary.

The data you send to us via contact requests will remain with us until you ask us to delete it or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g. after your request has been processed). Mandatory statutory provisions – in particular statutory retention periods – remain unaffected.

2.5 Processing in connection with the newsletter registration

You can subscribe to a regular e-mail newsletter, for example on product news, case studies, events and other interesting topics, by completing the relevant registration form on our website. You will then receive an activation link to the e-mail address provided, which you must click on to complete the registration (so-called double opt-in procedure).

Your subscription to the newsletter only becomes active when you click on the activation link. If you do not click on the link, your data will be automatically deleted after 30 days. This ensures that no third party has misused your personal data.

The following data or data categories are collected and processed:

  • E-mail address
  • First name (optional)
  • Last name (optional)
  • Company (voluntary information)

The fields marked with “*” must be filled in. If you do not provide us with this information, you will not be able to subscribe to the newsletter and we will not be able to send you the requested information. All other information is voluntary.

The legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR, i.e. your express and voluntary consent in combination with the double opt-in procedure.

You can revoke your consent at any time and without giving reasons. You have various options to choose from:

  • You can unsubscribe by clicking on the “Unsubscribe” button, which can be found in every newsletter.
  • You can send an informal e-mail with your unsubscribe request to .

The fields marked with “*” must be filled in. If you do not provide us with this information, you will not be able to subscribe to the newsletter and we will not be able to send you the requested information. All other information is voluntary.

We use the e-mail marketing tool MailerLite from UAB “MailerLite”, J. Basanaviciaus 15, LT-03108 Vilnius, Lithuania, to send newsletters and manage newsletter campaigns. Details on this third-party provider can be found under 11.11.

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 deleted from the newsletter distribution list after you unsubscribe from the newsletter or after the purpose no longer applies. We reserve the right to remove e-mail addresses from our newsletter distribution list at our own discretion within the scope of our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO to delete or block them. Data stored by us for other purposes remains unaffected by this.

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

This website uses the online marketing tool DoubleClick by Google and the associated conversion tracking (visit action evaluation). This is an analysis service provided by Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, California 94043, USA (“Google”).

DoubleClick uses cookies to serve ads that are relevant to users, to improve campaign performance reports or to prevent a user from seeing the same ads more than once. Google uses a cookie ID to record which ads are displayed in which browser and can thus prevent them from being displayed more than once. In addition, DoubleClick can use cookie IDs to record so-called conversions that are related to ad requests. This is the case, for example, when a user sees a DoubleClick ad and later accesses the advertiser’s website with the same browser and buys something there. According to Google, DoubleClick cookies do not contain any personal data.

Due to the marketing tools used, your browser automatically establishes a direct connection with the Google server. We have no influence on the scope and further use of the data collected by Google through the use of this tool and therefore inform you according to our level of knowledge:

By integrating DoubleClick, Google receives the information that you have called up the corresponding part of our website or clicked on an advertisement from us. If you are registered with a Google service, Google can assign the visit to your account. Even if you are not registered with Google or have not logged in, there is a possibility that the provider will find out your IP address and store it. The information collected with the help of the DoubleClick cookie is used to create conversion statistics. This tells us the total number of users who clicked on one of our ads and were redirected to a page with a conversion tracking tag. However, we do not receive any information with which users can be personally identified

In addition, the DoubleClick Floodlight cookies used enable us to understand whether you perform certain actions on our website after you have accessed or clicked on one of our display/video ads on Google or on another platform via DoubleClick (conversion tracking).

We use the function for embedding YouTube videos from YouTube, LLC, 901 Cherry Ave, San Bruno, CA 94066, USA (“YouTube”) on our website. YouTube is a company affiliated with Google LLC (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; “Google”).

The YouTube videos can be played directly from our website. With this integration, content from the YouTube website is displayed in parts of a browser window. However, the YouTube videos can only be accessed by clicking on them separately. This technique is also known as “framing”. When you call up a (sub)page of our website on which YouTube videos are integrated in this form, a connection to the YouTube servers is established and the content is displayed on the website by notifying your browser.

The integration of YouTube content only takes place in “extended data protection mode”. This is provided by YouTube itself and ensures that YouTube does not initially store any cookies on your device. However, when the relevant pages are accessed, the IP address and other data (e.g. browser used, operating system and its interface, language and version of the browser software, date and time of the query) are transmitted and thus, in particular, which of our Internet pages you have visited. However, this information cannot be assigned to you unless you have logged in to YouTube or another Google service (e.g. Google+) before accessing the page or are permanently logged in.

As soon as you start playing an embedded video by clicking on it, YouTube only stores cookies on your device through the extended data protection mode, which do not contain any personally identifiable data, unless you are currently logged in to a Google service. These cookies can be prevented by appropriate browser settings and extensions.

If you are logged into your YouTube account, you enable YouTube to assign your surfing behavior directly to your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account.

The data collected is usually transferred to a YouTube or Google server in the USA and stored there. For the USA, an adequacy decision of the EU Commission within the meaning of Art. 45 para. 3 GDPR, which extends to the EU-US Data Privacy Framework (DPF). For data exports to recipients in the USA that are certified in accordance with the DPF, the level of data protection is therefore considered appropriate. YouTube and Google have certified themselves in accordance with the DPF and are therefore obliged to comply with European data protection principles.

The storage of and access to information in the end user’s terminal equipment is based on informed consent in accordance with Section 25 para. 1 TTDSG. The legal basis for the further processing of your personal data is your voluntary and informed consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. a DSGVO. You give the corresponding consent via the consent banner or alternatively via a so-called “two-click solution” (click to load) directly with the respective video.
