Information on Data Transfer to the USA and Other Third Countries
Among other things, we use tools from companies based in the USA or other third countries that are not secure under data protection law. When these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to and processed in these third countries. We would like to point out that no level of data protection comparable to that of the EU can be guaranteed in these countries. Where providers are certified under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework, transfers are based on the corresponding adequacy decision (Art. 45 GDPR); otherwise, transfers are based on the EU Standard Contractual Clauses (Art. 46 GDPR).
Revocation of Your Consent to Data Processing
Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You can revoke consent you have already given at any time. The legality of the data processing carried out until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.
Right to Object to Data Collection in Special Cases and to Direct Advertising (Art. 21 GDPR)
IF DATA PROCESSING IS BASED ON ART. 6(1)(e) OR (f) GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA AT ANY TIME FOR REASONS ARISING FROM YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING BASED ON THESE PROVISIONS. THE RESPECTIVE LEGAL BASIS ON WHICH PROCESSING IS BASED CAN BE FOUND IN THIS PRIVACY POLICY. IF YOU OBJECT, WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR AFFECTED PERSONAL DATA UNLESS WE CAN DEMONSTRATE COMPELLING LEGITIMATE GROUNDS FOR THE PROCESSING THAT OUTWEIGH YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS, AND FREEDOMS, OR THE PROCESSING SERVES THE ASSERTION, EXERCISE, OR DEFENSE OF LEGAL CLAIMS (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21(1) GDPR).
IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA IS PROCESSED FOR DIRECT ADVERTISING PURPOSES, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME TO THE PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA CONCERNING YOU FOR THE PURPOSE OF SUCH ADVERTISING; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING INSOFAR AS IT IS ASSOCIATED WITH SUCH DIRECT ADVERTISING. IF YOU OBJECT, YOUR PERSONAL DATA WILL SUBSEQUENTLY NO LONGER BE USED FOR THE PURPOSE OF DIRECT ADVERTISING (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21(2) GDPR).
Right to Lodge a Complaint with the Competent Supervisory Authority
In the event of violations of the GDPR, data subjects have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the member state of their habitual residence, place of work, or place of the alleged violation. This right to lodge a complaint is without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy.
The supervisory authority competent for us is:
Landesbeauftragte für Datenschutz und Informationsfreiheit Nordrhein-Westfalen (LDI NRW) Kavalleriestraße 2–4 40213 Düsseldorf Germany
Right to Data Portability
You have the right to have data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfillment of a contract handed over to you or to a third party in a common, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only be done insofar as it is technically feasible.
Information, Deletion, and Correction
Within the framework of the applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to free information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients, and the purpose of the data processing and, if applicable, a right to correction or deletion of this data. You can contact us at any time regarding this and other questions about personal data.
Right to Restriction of Processing
You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. You can contact us at any time to do so. The right to restriction of processing exists in the following cases:
If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we usually need time to verify this. For the duration of the review, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
If the processing of your personal data was/is unlawful, you can request the restriction of data processing instead of deletion.
If we no longer need your personal data, but you need it to exercise, defend, or assert legal claims, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of deletion.
If you have lodged an objection pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR, a balance must be struck between your interests and ours. As long as it has not been determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, this data may—apart from being stored—only be processed with your consent or for the assertion, exercise, or defense of legal claims, or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person, or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or a member state.
SSL/TLS Encryption
For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as inquiries you send to us as the site operator, this site uses SSL/TLS encryption. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from "http://" to "https://" and by the lock symbol in your browser line.
When SSL/TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.
4. Recording of Data on This Website
Cookies
Our website uses so-called "cookies." Cookies are small data packets and do not cause any damage to your device. They are stored either temporarily for the duration of a session (session cookies) or permanently (permanent cookies) on your device. Session cookies are automatically deleted at the end of your visit. Permanent cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them yourself or until they are automatically deleted by your web browser.
Cookies can originate from us (first-party cookies) or from third-party companies (so-called third-party cookies). Third-party cookies enable the integration of certain services from third-party companies within websites.
Some cookies are technically necessary because certain website functions would not work without them. Other cookies may be used to analyze user behavior.
Cookies that are necessary to carry out the electronic communication process, to provide certain functions you have requested, or to optimize the website (necessary cookies) are stored on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, unless another legal basis is specified. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the storage of necessary cookies for the technically error-free and optimized provision of its services. Where consent to the storage of cookies and comparable recognition technologies has been requested, processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of this consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25(1) TDDDG); consent can be revoked at any time.
You can set your browser to inform you about the setting of cookies and to allow cookies only in individual cases, to exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general, and to activate the automatic deletion of cookies when the browser is closed. If cookies are deactivated, the functionality of this website may be limited.
Which cookies and services are used on this website can be found in this privacy policy.
Consent Management
Our website uses the cookie banner provided by Squarespace to obtain your consent for the storage of certain cookies or the use of certain technologies and to document this in compliance with data protection law. When you enter our website, your consent decision is stored. In opt-in mode, analysis and marketing cookies are suppressed until you have given your consent. You can adjust or revoke your decision at any time via the settings on our website.
The use of consent management is carried out to obtain the legally required consents for the use of cookies. The legal basis for this is Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR.
Server Log Files
The provider of the pages automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. These are:
Browser type and browser version
Operating system used
Referrer URL
Hostname of the accessing computer
Time of the server request
IP address
This data is not merged with other data sources. This data is collected on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the technically error-free presentation and optimization of its website—for this purpose, the server log files must be recorded.
Contact Form
If you send us inquiries via the contact form, your details from the inquiry form, including the contact details you provide there, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the inquiry and in case of follow-up questions. We do not pass on this data without your consent.
This data is processed on the basis of Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR if your inquiry is related to the fulfillment of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective processing of the inquiries addressed to us (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) if this has been requested; consent can be revoked at any time.
The data you enter in the contact form will remain with us until you request its deletion, revoke your consent to storage, or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies (e.g., after your inquiry has been processed). Mandatory statutory provisions—in particular retention periods—remain unaffected.
Request by Email or Telephone
If you contact us by email or telephone, your inquiry, including all resulting personal data (name, inquiry), will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of handling your request. We do not pass on this data without your consent.
This data is processed on the basis of Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR if your inquiry is related to the fulfillment of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective handling of the inquiries addressed to us (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) if this has been requested; consent can be revoked at any time.
The data you send us via contact requests will remain with us until you request its deletion, revoke your consent to storage, or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies. Mandatory statutory provisions—in particular statutory retention periods—remain unaffected.
Appointment Scheduling (Squarespace Scheduling)
We offer you the option of booking appointments online via Squarespace Scheduling (based on Acuity Scheduling), a service of Squarespace, Inc. When you book an appointment, the data you enter (e.g., name, email address, and any information you provide in the booking form) is processed to arrange and manage the appointment.
Data processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (to carry out pre-contractual measures or fulfill a contract) or on the basis of our legitimate interest in the efficient handling of appointment requests (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). Where consent has been requested, processing is based on Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25(1) TDDDG.
Data is transferred to and stored in the USA. The transfer is based on the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework and, where applicable, the EU Standard Contractual Clauses (see section 2). A data processing agreement with Squarespace is in place.
5. Analysis Tools
Squarespace Analytics
Our website uses the built-in analytics function of Squarespace (provider: Squarespace Ireland Limited). This allows us to see statistics such as page views, referrers, geographic region, and device information in order to improve our website. Cookies may be set for this purpose.
The use of Squarespace Analytics is based exclusively on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25(1) TDDDG). Consent can be revoked at any time. A data processing agreement with Squarespace is in place; see section 2 regarding transfers to the USA.
Google Analytics
This website uses functions of the web analytics service Google Analytics. The provider is Google Ireland Limited ("Google"), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.
Google Analytics enables the website operator to analyze the behavior of website visitors. In doing so, the website operator receives various usage data, such as page views, length of stay, operating systems used, and the origin of the user. This data may be assigned to the respective device of the website visitor.
Google Analytics uses technologies that enable the recognition of the user for the purpose of analyzing user behavior (e.g., cookies or device fingerprinting). The information collected by Google about the use of this website is generally transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there.
The use of this service is based on your consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25(1) TDDDG. Consent can be revoked at any time. Google LLC is certified under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework; the transfer of data to the USA is based on the corresponding adequacy decision and, where applicable, on the EU Standard Contractual Clauses. We have concluded a data processing agreement with Google.
Google Search Console
We use Google Search Console (provider: Google Ireland Limited). Google Search Console helps us analyze and optimize how our website performs in Google Search results, using largely aggregated data. This is based on our legitimate interest in the technical optimization and findability of our website (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). Where personal data is transferred to the USA in this context, the transfer is based on the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework and, where applicable, the EU Standard Contractual Clauses.
LinkedIn Insight Tag
This website uses the Insight Tag from LinkedIn. The provider of this service is LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company, Wilton Plaza, Wilton Place, Dublin 2, Ireland.
With the help of the LinkedIn Insight Tag, we receive information about the visitors to our website. If a website visitor is registered with LinkedIn, we can, among other things, analyze the professional key data (e.g., career level, company size, country, location, industry, and job title) of our website visitors and thus better align our site with the respective target groups. Furthermore, with the help of the LinkedIn Insight Tag, we can measure whether visitors to our web pages make a purchase or take another action (conversion measurement). The conversion measurement can also be carried out across devices.
LinkedIn itself also records so-called log files (URL, referrer URL, IP address, device and browser properties, and time of access). The IP addresses are shortened or (if they are used to reach LinkedIn members across devices) hashed (pseudonymized). The direct identifiers of the LinkedIn members are deleted by LinkedIn after seven days. The remaining pseudonymized data is then deleted within 180 days.
The data collected by LinkedIn cannot be assigned to specific individuals by us as the website operator. LinkedIn will store the collected personal data of website visitors on its servers in the USA and use it for its own advertising measures.
Where consent has been obtained, the use of the above-mentioned service is based exclusively on Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25 TDDDG. Consent can be revoked at any time. Where no consent has been obtained, the use of this service is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR; the website operator has a legitimate interest in effective advertising measures, including social media. The transfer of data to the USA is based on the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework and, where applicable, the EU Standard Contractual Clauses. We have concluded a data processing agreement for the use of this service.
You can object to the analysis of usage behavior and targeted advertising by LinkedIn at the following link: https://www.linkedin.com/psettings/guest-controls/retargeting-opt-out.
6. Plugins and Tools
YouTube with Extended Data Protection
This website may embed videos from the YouTube website. The operator of the pages is Google Ireland Limited ("Google"), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.
We use YouTube in extended data protection mode. According to YouTube, this mode means that YouTube does not store any information about visitors to this website before they watch the video. However, the extended data protection mode does not necessarily rule out the transfer of data to YouTube partners. For example, YouTube establishes a connection to the Google DoubleClick network, regardless of whether you watch a video.
As soon as you start a YouTube video on this website, a connection to YouTube's servers is established. The YouTube server is informed which of our pages you have visited. If you are logged into your YouTube account, you enable YouTube to assign your browsing behavior directly to your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account.
Furthermore, after starting a video, YouTube may store various cookies on your device or use comparable recognition technologies (e.g., device fingerprinting).
The use of YouTube is in the interest of an appealing presentation of our online offerings. This constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Where a corresponding consent has been requested, processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25(1) TDDDG. Consent can be revoked at any time. The transfer of data to the USA is based on the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework and, where applicable, the EU Standard Contractual Clauses.
Fonts
To ensure a uniform presentation of fonts, this website uses web fonts provided via the Squarespace platform (Adobe Fonts / Typekit and, where applicable, Google Fonts). When you access a page, your browser loads the required fonts in order to display texts and fonts correctly. For this purpose, your browser must establish a connection to the servers of the respective font provider, which thereby becomes aware that our website has been accessed via your IP address.
The use of web fonts is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. We have a legitimate interest in the uniform presentation of the typeface on our website. Where a corresponding consent has been requested, processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25(1) TDDDG. Consent can be revoked at any time.
Where fonts are loaded from providers based in the USA, the transfer of data is based on the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework and, where applicable, the EU Standard Contractual Clauses.
