2. What personal data do we always collect from you?
2.1 When visiting our website
If you do not register or provide us with any other information, we only collect the personal data that your browser transmits to our server (so-called log files). If you wish to view our website, we collect the following data, which is technically necessary for us to display our website, to establish a connection, and to guarantee system stability and security.
- the IP address of the computer/device with which you access the Internet;
- the date and time of the request;
- time zone difference to Greenwich Mean Time (GMT);
- the website/application from which the request comes;
- the access status/HTTP status code;
- respectively transferred data volumes;
- the browser used;
- the operating system used together with its user interface;
- language and version of the browser software;
This is necessary for us to display our website and to guarantee stability and security. This is in our legitimate interest within the meaning of Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR. During contract processing, the aforementioned data is stored on the servers of our processor rexx systems GmbH, Süderstraße 75-79, 20097 Hamburg. This processing corresponds to our legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR in not having to maintain a server on our premises ourselves. The servers are located in Germany.
The data stored by us will be deleted as soon as they are no longer required to achieve the purpose for which they were collected. This is the case after six months at the latest. Storage beyond this is possible. In this case, the IP addresses of the users are deleted or alienated, so that an assignment of the calling client is no longer possible. The collection of this data for the provision of the website and the storage of the data in log files are absolutely necessary for the operation of the website. Consequently, there is no possibility for the user to object.

2.2 Phone calls via "Microsoft Teams"
We use Microsoft Teams as a tool to hold phone conferences and to accept calls to the phone numbers communicated to you (hereinafter collectively referred to as "Online Meetings"). The service provider is Microsoft Ireland Operations, Ltd., One Microsoft Place, South County Business Park, Leopardstown, Dublin 18, D18 P521, Ireland, which processes the data on our behalf within the meaning of Article 28 GDPR.
Please note that this Privacy Notice only informs you about the processing of your personal data by ourselves if you hold Online Meetings with us. If you access the Internet website of Microsoft Teams, the provider of Microsoft Teams is responsible for data processing. If you wish to receive information about the processing of your personal data by Microsoft, we kindly ask that you access the relevant statement from Microsoft.
Various types of data are processed when using Microsoft Teams. The scope of said data is, among other things, dependent on your data choices before and during your participation in an Online Meeting.

Various types of data are processed when using Microsoft Teams. The scope of said data is, among other things, dependent on your data choices before and during your participation in an Online Meeting.
The following personal data is processed:
- the IP address of the computer/device with which you access the Internet;
- information on you as a user: e.g. display name, possibly email address, profile picture (optional), preferred language;
- meeting metadata: e.g. date, time, Meeting ID, phone numbers, location;
- text, audio and video data: you may have the option to use the chat feature in an Online Meeting. To this extent, any text entries you make are processed to display these in the Online Meeting. To make sure that video and audio can be accessed, the data of your device's microphone and any video camera are processed accordingly for the duration of your meeting. You always have the option of disabling or muting your microphone through relevant settings in the Microsoft Teams applications.
The legal basis for data processing when holding Online Meetings is Article 6 (1) (b) GDPR, to the extent that said Meetings where conducted within the context of a contractual relationship.
If the processing of personal data is a key requisite for the use of Microsoft Teams, the legal basis for processing users' personal data is Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest is in this case effectively conducting Online Meetings.
If there is no contractual relationship, the legal basis is still Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest is again effectively conducting Online Meetings.
As a general principle, personal data that is processed due to participation in Online Meetings is not passed on to third parties unless such distribution is intended. Please note that the content of both Online Meetings and in-person meetings is often used to communicate information to customers, interested parties, and third parties, and the distribution of such information is thus intended.
As is necessary, the provider of Microsoft Teams gains awareness of the aforementioned data, if this is intended as part of the agreement on processing between us and Microsoft Teams.
The data processing shall generally not be carried out outside of the European Union (EU), since we have limited our storage locations to data centres in the European Union. However, we cannot guarantee that data is not routed over Internet servers situated outside of the EU. One particular instance of such routing is whenever participants participate in Online Meetings in a non-Member State.
Nevertheless, while being transported over the Internet, the data is encrypted, protecting it from unauthorised third-party access.

3. What personal data do we possibly collect on a case-by-case basis?
In addition to phone and video conferences as well as calls via "Microsoft Teams", together with the use of our website for purely informative purposes, we also offer various services that you can use if you are interested. To use these services, you generally have to give us any other personal data which we need to provide the relevant service.
We may make use of service providers (processors) with which we, under observance of the legal requirements, have concluded an agreement on processing pursuant to Article 28 GDPR, i.e. subject to our instructions and under our control. These are companies in the following fields in particular: IT service providers, logistics, telecommunications, sales and marketing, and legal and tax consulting, about which we will inform you accordingly on a case-by-case basis. We remain responsible for processing in these instances; the distribution and processing of personal data by/to our processors takes place on the respective legal basis to which we are entitled when processing the data. No separate legal basis is required. We additionally transmit personal data to recipients which fall outside of the immediate jurisdiction the GDPR ("third countries"). If the European Commission has not decided that these countries provide your personal data a sufficient level of statutory protection, we must either ensure that we implement as safeguards pursuant to Article 46 (2) (c) GDPR, we regularly use the standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission if a recipient is situated in a third country not deemed safe. Nevertheless, in some countries there is a risk that your data may be requested by national authorities for control and monitoring purposes, possibly without the conditions thereof being clearly regulated and without any corresponding legal remedies. If there are such risks and rulings of European courts that consider these risks unreasonable (in some situations this is the case in the USA, for example), we will take additional protective measures and make agreements whenever feasible. In some instances, we will obtain your express consent for data transmissions to recipients in unsafe third countries pursuant to Article 49 (1) (a) GDPR. This is the case, for example, whenever our partners use cookies or comparable technologies on our website. If you give your consent, you accept that the risks described above, in particular the risk of foreign authorities accessing your data, are incurred, without any further relevant safeguards being agreed or additional protective measures taken.

5. Cookies To design our website in the most user-friendly way possible and to display more relevant advertisements to visitors of our website, we and our partners use so-called cookies. Cookies are small files stored on the device of a user. They can capture information for a certain period and identify the device of the user. This is sometimes also done using tracking pixels, which are not stored on the hard drives of users, but can also help in identifying visitors in a similar way as cookies. In the following, the word cookie covers both cookies in the technical sense as well as tracking pixels and similar technical methods.
5.1 Cookie consent tool by CookiePro by OneTrust
When visiting our website for the first time, you will be shown a banner by CookiePro by OneTrust with a cookie consent text. If you provide consent here or in our cookie settings, said consent will be stored in your browser via a selection cookie. This way, we do not have to display this notice every time you visit any page. If said reference is no longer preserved in your browser (e.g. after deleting the browsing history), this notice will once again be displayed when revisiting our website.
In this context, we store the collected data until you delete the selection cookie yourself or the original purpose of data storage no longer applies. Mandatory legal retention periods remain unaffected. Please note that we currently transmit pseudonymized data to the provider of CookiePro for the purpose of cookie management and compliance with legal requirements. No personal data is passed on in plain text, and the information transmitted to CookiePro does not allow direct identification of users.
CookiePro Consent technology is used to obtain the statutory consents for the use of cookies. The legal basis is Article 6 (1) (c) GDPR.
