operates this website for purposes of offering information and services.

We will process your personal data exclusively in accordance with the provisions of Data Privacy Legislation as amended. Please refer to a glossary under “Definitions” for data privacy terminology. The following provisions will inform you about the type, extent and purpose of collection, processing and use of personal data. This Data Privacy Statement applies exclusively to our Web pages. Should links on our Web pages take you to other Web pages, please refer to those pages for information on how your data will be handled there.

Your personal data will, wherever possible, be encrypted by digital security systems to protect them from damage, erasure or unauthorised access, using technical and organisational measures.

2. Collection and utilisation of personal data

We collect, process and store the personal data you are making available (for example: your name, address and phone number or e-mail address, also data needed for accounting) to the extent they are needed for processing of requests and orders (e.g. LEI applications, Challenge notifications or orders for newsletters) or for technical website administration or mandatory reasons. Article 6 (1) a), b), c), e) and f) GDPR provides the legal basis for processing such data.

To facilitate this task, your data may be exchanged with third parties involved in processing orders and invoices. In addition, we will not disclose your personal data to third parties unless we are obligated to do so due to mandatory regulations, this is necessary for collecting fees and charges, or you yourself stipulate this.

Your registered and accounting data (e.g. bank account details) are always encrypted before transfer to our systems. This protects communication between yourself and our web server and prevents abuse of data. We deploy SSL (Secure Socket Layer) for encryption, a recognised and widely used system on the Internet, as also used for instance by banks or online shops for business over the Internet and regarded as secure as amended.

3. Use of personal data

Your personal data will, to the extent required for justification, structuring of content or changes to a contractual or official user relationship (master data), be processed exclusively for such purposes. We reserve the right of recourse to authorised remedial action and legal grounds.

We may ask you for certain personal information should you contact us via e-mail, fax or by phone. We will ask only for data required for proper processing of your contact enquiry, including at least your surname and first name, your e-mail address and phone number. The legal basis pursuant to Article 6 (1) c), e) and f) GDPR will be a legitimate interest in processing. You may also in the course of your contact enquiry offer additional voluntary data. We will store the data and use them in responding to your contact enquiry. Voluntary provisioning of such data will signify your consent to their use as defined above. We will log your consent to the collection and use of data. The legal basis for data processing pursuant to Article 6 (1) a) GDPR includes consent by affected parties.

Your name and address must, for instance, be disclosed to accounting service providers for invoicing for chargeable services. Unless with your consent or mandatory, your personal data will not be disclosed to third parties not in a contractual or usage relationship.

We are permitted in specific cases and on request of authorised bodies to release master data for purposes of law enforcement, aversion of danger by police authorities of the states, execution of statutory tasks by Federal and State authorities for the protection of the constitution, Federal Information services, military counter-intelligence, or for assertion of intellectual property rights.

We will carefully examine any such requests using the means available to us and will not disclose your data unless our statutory obligation is abundantly clear. The legal basis of data processing pursuant to Article 6 (1) c) and e) GDPR would in such cases be compliance with our statutory obligations and pertinent special legislation.

c. Google Ads & Google Ads conversion tracking

We use Google Ads to advertise our products, offers and services online with a view to making more people aware of the high-quality products and services we offer online. In the scope of our advertising activities using Google Ads, we use the conversion tracking tool from Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA ("Google") on our website. Conversion tracking helps us tailor our products and services to your interests and needs far better. Below we provide further details about why we use conversion tracking, what data is stored in the process and how you can stop this data storage. The legal basis for using Google Ads conversion tracking is Article 6 (1) a (consent).

What is Google Ads?

The in-house Google Ads platform makes it possible to create online ads to inform interested people about our products and services.

What is a conversion?

A conversion occurs when website visitors become active visitors. This happens whenever you click on our ad and then perform another action, such as visiting our website. Google's conversion tracking tool allows us to record what happens after a user clicks on our Google Ads advertisement. For instance, we can see whether products are purchased, services are used or whether visitors have signed up for our newsletter.

Why have we opted to use Google Ads conversion tracking?

We use Google Ads to publicize our products and services on other websites as well, with the aim of ensuring that our advertising campaigns only target those people who are interested in our products and services. The conversion tracking tool allows us to see which keywords, ads, ad groups and campaigns generate the desired customer actions. We see how many customers interact with our ads on a device or in a browser and then make a conversion. This data allows us to calculate our cost-benefit factor, measure the success of individual advertising activities and subsequently optimize our online marketing activities and make our website more attractive.

What data is stored during Google Ads conversion tracking?

We have incorporated a conversion tracking tag into our website to better analyze certain visitor actions. If you then click on one of our Google Ads advertisements, the "conversion" cookie is stored on your computer (usually in the browser) or mobile device by a Google domain. Cookies are small text files that store information on your computer. The following cookie is set during conversion tracking:

Name: conversion

Value: EhMI_aySuoyv4gIVled3Ch0llweVGAEgt-mr6aXd7dYlSAGQ331656656213-3

Purpose: This cookie stores every conversion you make on our site after visiting us via a Google Ad.

Expiry date: after 3 months

As soon as you complete an action on our website, Google recognizes the cookie and saves your action as what is known as a conversion. If you surf our website whilst the cookie is still active, we and Google recognize that you found us via our Google Ads advertisement. The cookie is read and sent back to Google Ads with the conversion data.

The UET tag is read and sent back to Bing Ads with the conversion data.

12. Newsletter

We offer you the possibility to subscribe to our newsletter on our online offer. You can order a newsletter by registering online with your e-mail address to receive the newsletter. You will then receive a confirmation email with a link. From then on, we will send you the newsletter to the registered e-mail address.

When you register for a newsletter in our online offer, we always record your title, first and last name as well as your e-mail address, IP address and a time stamp. We need this information to prove that you have consented to receive the newsletter. If you subscribe to the newsletter, we store this information for as long as you receive our newsletter and beyond that for as long as we need to prove the consent you have given, i.e. until any claims become time-barred.

For the technical delivery of the newsletter, we use our service provider Mailingwork GmbH (Birkenweg 7, 09569 Oederan, Germany). Through our service provider, we only record the reach and determine, among other things, which links were clicked on particularly often. Furthermore, our service provider also enables us to subdivide ("cluster") the newsletter recipients according to various categories. The newsletter recipients can be subdivided by region (city) or device, for example. In this way, we can better adapt our newsletters to target groups. Our service provider helps us with the technical implementation of the newsletter dispatch.

The legal basis for our data processing when sending newsletters is your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 a DSGVO). For the other data, the IP address and the time stamp, the basis for permission lies in our legitimate interest according to Art. 6 Para. 1 f DSGVO, to be able to prove that you have consented to receive the newsletter.

You can unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time and revoke your consent to receive it by simply clicking on the corresponding link at the end of the respective newsletter. We will block your personal data immediately upon your revocation and only use it for legitimate verification interests as long as there is a basis for permission to do so, for example to be able to prove that you had consented to receiving the newsletter until the expiry of limitation periods.
