1. Data Protection at a Glance

General Information

The following notes provide a simple overview of what happens to your personal data when you visit this website. Personal data is any data by which you can be personally identified. For detailed information on the subject of data protection, please refer to our privacy policy set out below this text.

This privacy policy applies to the website off-market24.com as well as to the associated platform at app.off-market24.com.

Data Collection on This Website

Who is responsible for data collection on this website?

Data processing on this website is carried out by the website operator. You can find the operator's contact details in the section "Information on the Controller" in this privacy policy.

How do we collect your data?

On the one hand, your data is collected when you provide it to us. This may, for example, be data that you enter into a contact form.

Other data is collected automatically or with your consent by our IT systems when you visit the website. This is primarily technical data (e.g. internet browser, operating system, or time of page access). This data is collected automatically as soon as you enter this website.

What do we use your data for?

Some of the data is collected to ensure the error-free provision of the website. Other data may be used to analyse your user behaviour.

What rights do you have regarding your data?

You have the right at any time to obtain information free of charge about the origin, recipients, and purpose of your stored personal data. You also have the right to request the rectification or erasure of this data. If you have given consent to data processing, you can withdraw this consent at any time with effect for the future. You also have the right, under certain circumstances, to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. Furthermore, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority.

You can contact us at any time regarding this and any other questions on the subject of data protection.

Analytics Tools and Third-Party Tools

When you visit this website, your browsing behaviour may be statistically evaluated. This is done, on the one hand, with our own cookieless server-side audience measurement and, on the other hand – exclusively with your consent – with analytics and marketing services from third-party providers.

Detailed information on these services can be found in the following privacy policy.

Storage Period

Unless a more specific storage period has been stated within this privacy policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for the data processing no longer applies. If you assert a legitimate request for erasure or withdraw your consent to data processing, your data will be deleted unless we have other legally permissible reasons for storing your personal data (e.g. retention periods under tax or commercial law); in the latter case, the data will be deleted once these reasons no longer apply.

General Information on the Legal Bases for Data Processing on This Website

If you have consented to data processing, we process your personal data on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR or Art. 9(2)(a) GDPR, insofar as special categories of data pursuant to Art. 9(1) GDPR are processed. In the case of express consent to the transfer of personal data to third countries, data processing is also carried out on the basis of Art. 49(1)(a) GDPR. If you have consented to the storage of cookies or to the access to information on your end device (e.g. via device fingerprinting), the data processing is additionally carried out on the basis of Section 25(1) TTDSG. Consent can be withdrawn at any time. If your data is required for the performance of a contract or for the implementation of pre-contractual measures, we process your data on the basis of Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR. Furthermore, we process your data insofar as this is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation on the basis of Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR. Data processing may also be carried out on the basis of our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Information on the legal bases applicable in each individual case is provided in the following paragraphs of this privacy policy.

Information on Data Transfer to the USA and Other Third Countries

Among other things, we use tools from companies based in the USA or in other third countries that are not secure under data protection law. If these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to these third countries and processed there. We would like to point out that no level of data protection comparable to that in the EU can be guaranteed in these countries. For example, US companies are obliged to disclose personal data to security authorities without you as the data subject being able to take legal action against this. It therefore cannot be ruled out that US authorities (e.g. intelligence services) process, evaluate, and permanently store your data located on US servers for surveillance purposes. We have no influence over these processing activities.

Withdrawal of Your Consent to Data Processing

Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You can withdraw consent you have already given at any time. The lawfulness of the data processing carried out prior to the withdrawal remains unaffected by the withdrawal. You can adjust or withdraw your cookie consents at any time via the "Cookie Settings" link in the page footer.

Right to Object to Data Collection in Special Cases and to Direct Marketing (Art. 21 GDPR)

IF DATA PROCESSING IS CARRIED OUT ON THE BASIS OF ART. 6(1)(E) OR (F) GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT AT ANY TIME TO OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA ON GROUNDS RELATING TO 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 PERSONAL DATA CONCERNED UNLESS WE CAN DEMONSTRATE COMPELLING LEGITIMATE GROUNDS FOR THE PROCESSING WHICH OVERRIDE YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS, OR THE PROCESSING SERVES THE ESTABLISHMENT, EXERCISE OR DEFENCE OF LEGAL CLAIMS (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21(1) GDPR).

IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA IS PROCESSED FOR THE PURPOSE OF DIRECT MARKETING, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME TO THE PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA CONCERNING YOU FOR THE PURPOSE OF SUCH MARKETING; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING INSOFAR AS IT IS RELATED TO SUCH DIRECT MARKETING. IF YOU OBJECT, YOUR PERSONAL DATA WILL SUBSEQUENTLY NO LONGER BE USED FOR THE PURPOSE OF DIRECT MARKETING (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21(2) GDPR).

Right to Lodge a Complaint with the Competent Supervisory Authority

In the event of infringements 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, their place of work, or the place of the alleged infringement. The right to lodge a complaint exists without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy.

Right to Data Portability

You have the right to have data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in performance of a contract handed over to you or to a third party in a commonly used, 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.

Access, Rectification, and Erasure

Within the scope of the applicable statutory provisions, you have the right at any time to obtain information free of charge about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients, and the purpose of the data processing and, where applicable, a right to rectification or erasure of this data. You can contact us at any time regarding this and any other questions on the subject of 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 for this purpose. The right to restriction of processing exists in the following cases:

• If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we generally 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 carried out unlawfully, you may request the restriction of data processing instead of erasure.
• If we no longer need your personal data, but you need it for the exercise, defence, or establishment of legal claims, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of erasure.
• If you have lodged an objection pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR, a balancing of your interests and ours must be carried out. As long as it has not yet 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 its storage – only be processed with your consent or for the establishment, exercise, or defence 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 of a Member State.

SSL or TLS Encryption

For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or enquiries that you send to us as the site operator, this site uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognise an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from "http://" to "https://" and by the lock icon in your browser line.

If SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

Encrypted Payment Transactions

Paid services are processed via our platform app.off-market24.com. If, following the conclusion of a paid contract, there is an obligation to transmit your payment data to us, this data is required for payment processing. Payment processing is carried out via the payment service providers named in the section "eCommerce and Payment Providers" (Stripe, PayPal, ablefy) and exclusively via an encrypted SSL or TLS connection.

In the case of encrypted communication, your payment data that you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

Objection to Advertising Emails

We hereby object to the use of contact data published within the scope of the legal notice obligation for the purpose of sending advertising and information material not expressly requested. The operators of the pages expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of the unsolicited sending of advertising information, for example through spam emails.

4. Data Collection on This Website

Cookies

Our web pages use so-called "cookies". Cookies are small data packets and do not cause any damage to your end device. They are stored on your end device either temporarily for the duration of a session (session cookies) or permanently (permanent cookies). Session cookies are automatically deleted at the end of your visit. Permanent cookies remain stored on your end device until you delete them yourself or until they are automatically deleted by your web browser.

Cookies may 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 of third-party companies within websites.

Cookies that are necessary for carrying out the electronic communication process or for providing certain functions requested by you (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 optimised provision of its services. If 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 Section 25(1) TTDSG); consent can be withdrawn at any time.

On this website, we use the following necessary first-party cookies: the session cookie "PHPSESSID" (session management and security, deleted at the end of the session), the cookie "offmarket24_consent" (stores your cookie consent decision, lifetime up to 365 days) and – if you use the "Like" function for articles – cookies with the prefix "liked_" (prevent multiple ratings, lifetime 30 days).

You can set your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies and allow cookies only in individual cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general, and activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. If cookies are deactivated, the functionality of this website may be limited.

Which further cookies and services are used on this website can be found in this privacy policy and in the cookie settings (link in the page footer).

Cookie Consent (Own Consent Tool)

Our website uses a self-developed consent tool to obtain your consent to the storage of certain cookies or the use of certain services and to document this in compliance with data protection law. When you first visit the website, a cookie banner appears in which you can accept all services, reject all, or, in the settings, activate or deactivate each service individually (Google Analytics 4, Google Ads, Meta Pixel, LinkedIn Insight Tag, Taboola Pixel). No data is transferred to external consent providers.

Your decision is stored in the first-party cookie "offmarket24_consent" in your browser (lifetime up to 365 days). For the legally required proof of consent, we additionally store on the server side: a randomly generated consent ID, the status of the individual services, the version of the cookie policy, the time, the source of the decision (banner or settings dialog), and a check value of your IP address formed using SHA-256 and a secret key (IP hash). Your IP address itself is not stored in this process.

You can change or withdraw your selection at any time via the "Cookie Settings" link in the page footer. The consent tool is used to obtain and document 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
• Host name of the accessing computer
• Time of the server request
• IP address

This data is not merged with other data sources.

In addition, for security reasons, we automatically log events that indicate misuse of our forms or an attempted attack (e.g. spam bot detection), as well as failed login attempts to the administration area; in this process, the IP address, time, and technical details (user agent) are stored.

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, the optimisation, and the security of its website – for this purpose, the server log files must be recorded.

Contact Form

If you send us enquiries via the contact form, your details from the enquiry form, including the contact data you provide there, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the enquiry and in the event of follow-up questions. The enquiry is stored in our database and additionally transmitted by email to our team; in this process, for security reasons (prevention of misuse and spam), your IP address, technical details about your browser (user agent), and the time of transmission are also recorded. We do not pass on this data without your consent.

The processing of this data is based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR, insofar as your enquiry is related to the performance 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 enquiries 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 withdrawn at any time.

The data you enter in the contact form will remain with us until you request us to delete it, withdraw your consent to storage, or the purpose for the data storage no longer applies (e.g. after your enquiry has been fully processed). Mandatory statutory provisions – in particular retention periods – remain unaffected.

Submission of Acquisition Profiles (File Upload)

Investors can submit their acquisition profile to us via a form, optionally with a file attachment (PDF, Word, or Excel file). In this process, the data provided in the form (including salutation, name, company, email address, telephone number, link to the search profile, message) as well as the uploaded file are processed. The details are transmitted by email to our team and the file is stored on our server; for security reasons, the IP address, user agent, and time are also recorded.

The processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (implementation of pre-contractual measures) or our legitimate interest in handling your enquiry (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). The data will remain with us until you request us to delete it or the purpose for the data storage no longer applies; statutory retention periods remain unaffected.

Transaction Enquiry

Via our transaction form, you can submit enquiries regarding real estate transactions to us. The data provided in the form (including name, contact details, information about the property or the transaction) is processed. The details are transmitted by email to our team; for security reasons, the IP address, user agent, and time are also recorded.

The processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (implementation of pre-contractual measures) or our legitimate interest in handling your enquiry (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). The data will remain with us until you request us to delete it or the purpose for the data storage no longer applies; statutory retention periods remain unaffected.

Enquiry by Email, Telephone, or Fax

If you contact us by email, telephone, or fax, your enquiry, including all resulting personal data (name, enquiry), will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of handling your request. We do not pass on this data without your consent.

The processing of this data is based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR, insofar as your enquiry is related to the performance 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 enquiries 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 withdrawn at any time.

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

Appointment Booking via Calendly

For arranging demo appointments, we link to the appointment booking tool "Calendly". The provider is Calendly LLC, 271 17th St NW, 10th Floor, Atlanta, Georgia 30363, USA (hereinafter "Calendly"). Calendly is not embedded in our website; only when you follow the link to Calendly do you leave our website, and Calendly's privacy provisions apply.

For the purpose of booking an appointment, you enter the requested data and your preferred date on the Calendly website. The data entered is used for planning, conducting, and, where applicable, following up on the appointment and is stored for us on Calendly's servers. You can find Calendly's privacy policy here: https://calendly.com/pages/privacy.

The legal basis for the data processing is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in arranging appointments with prospective customers and customers in a manner that is as uncomplicated as possible. Data transfer to the USA is based on the standard contractual clauses of the EU Commission. Details can be found here: https://calendly.com/pages/dpa.

Registration on Our Platform

You can register on our platform app.off-market24.com in order to use additional functions. We use the data entered for this purpose only for the purpose of using the respective offer or service for which you have registered. The mandatory information requested during registration must be provided in full. Otherwise, we will reject the registration.

For important changes, for example to the scope of the offer or in the case of technically necessary changes, we use the email address provided during registration to inform you in this way.

The data entered during registration is processed for the purpose of implementing the user relationship established by the registration and, where applicable, for initiating further contracts (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR).

The data collected during registration will be stored by us for as long as you are registered on the platform and will subsequently be deleted. Statutory retention periods remain unaffected.

5. Analytics Tools and Advertising

Server-Side Audience Measurement (Without Cookies)

For the statistical evaluation of visitor access, we use a self-developed, server-side audience measurement system. When a page is accessed, the path accessed, the device type (desktop/tablet/mobile), the domain of origin (referrer), the language version, and the time are stored. No cookies are set and no plain-text IP addresses are stored: to count unique visitors, a check value (SHA-256 hash) is formed from the date, IP address, browser identifier, and a secret key, which changes daily. Recognition beyond the day or attribution to you as a person is therefore not possible. The raw data is deleted after 400 days at the latest.

The processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the anonymised analysis of the use of its website in order to improve its offering.

Google Analytics

This website uses – exclusively with your consent – functions of the web analytics service Google Analytics 4. The provider is Google Ireland Limited ("Google"), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

Google Analytics enables the website operator to analyse the behaviour of website visitors. In this process, the website operator receives various usage data, such as page views, length of visit, operating systems used, and origin of the user. This data is summarised in a user ID and assigned to the respective end device of the website visitor.

Google Analytics uses technologies that enable the recognition of the user for the purpose of analysing user behaviour (e.g. cookies or device fingerprinting). The information collected by Google about the use of this website is generally transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there.

This service is used on the basis of your consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and Section 25(1) TTDSG. Consent can be withdrawn at any time – most easily via the "Cookie Settings" in the page footer.

Data transfer to the USA is based on the standard contractual clauses of the EU Commission. Details can be found here: https://privacy.google.com/businesses/controllerterms/mccs/.

Browser Plugin

You can prevent the collection and processing of your data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en.

More information on how Google Analytics handles user data can be found in Google's privacy policy: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245?hl=en.

Data Processing Agreement

We have concluded a data processing agreement with Google and fully implement the strict requirements of the German data protection authorities when using Google Analytics.

Google Ads

The website operator uses – exclusively with your consent – Google Ads. Google Ads is an online advertising program of Google Ireland Limited ("Google"), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

Google Ads enables us to display advertisements in the Google search engine or on third-party websites when the user enters certain search terms on Google (keyword targeting). Furthermore, targeted advertisements can be displayed on the basis of the user data available at Google (e.g. location data and interests) (audience targeting). As the website operator, we can evaluate this data quantitatively, for example by analysing which search terms led to the display of our advertisements and how many advertisements led to corresponding clicks.

This service is used on the basis of your consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and Section 25(1) TTDSG. Consent can be withdrawn at any time.

Data transfer to the USA is based on the standard contractual clauses of the EU Commission. Details can be found here: https://policies.google.com/privacy/frameworks and https://privacy.google.com/businesses/controllerterms/mccs/.

Google Ads Remarketing

This website uses the functions of Google Ads Remarketing. The provider is Google Ireland Limited ("Google"), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

With Google Ads Remarketing, we can assign persons who interact with our online offering to specific target groups in order to subsequently display interest-based advertising to them in the Google advertising network (remarketing or retargeting).

Furthermore, the advertising target groups created with Google Ads Remarketing can be linked with Google's cross-device functions. In this way, interest-based, personalised advertising messages that have been adapted to you depending on your previous usage and browsing behaviour on one end device (e.g. mobile phone) can also be displayed on another of your end devices (e.g. tablet or PC).

If you have a Google account, you can object to personalised advertising at the following link: https://www.google.com/settings/ads/onweb/.

This service is used on the basis of your consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and Section 25(1) TTDSG. Consent can be withdrawn at any time.

Further information and the privacy provisions can be found in Google's privacy policy at: https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads?hl=en.

Google Conversion Tracking

This website uses Google Conversion Tracking. The provider is Google Ireland Limited ("Google"), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

With the help of Google Conversion Tracking, Google and we can recognise whether the user has carried out certain actions. For example, we can evaluate which buttons on our website were clicked and how often, and which offers were viewed or enquired about particularly frequently. This information is used to create conversion statistics. We learn the total number of users who clicked on our advertisements and which actions they carried out. We do not receive any information with which we can personally identify the user. Google itself uses cookies or comparable recognition technologies for identification.

This service is used on the basis of your consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and Section 25(1) TTDSG. Consent can be withdrawn at any time.

More information on Google Conversion Tracking can be found in Google's privacy provisions: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en.

Meta Pixel (formerly Facebook Pixel)

This website uses – exclusively with your consent – the visitor action pixel from Facebook/Meta for conversion measurement. The provider of this service is Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Dublin 2, Ireland. According to Facebook, however, the data collected is also transferred to the USA and to other third countries.

In this way, the behaviour of site visitors can be tracked after they have been redirected to the provider's website by clicking on a Facebook advertisement. This allows the effectiveness of Facebook advertisements to be evaluated for statistical and market research purposes and future advertising measures to be optimised.

The data collected is anonymous for us as the operator of this website; we cannot draw any conclusions about the identity of the users. However, the data is stored and processed by Facebook, so that a connection to the respective user profile is possible and Facebook can use the data for its own advertising purposes in accordance with the Facebook Data Use Policy (https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/). This enables Facebook to place advertisements on Facebook pages as well as outside of Facebook. This use of the data cannot be influenced by us as the site operator.

This service is used on the basis of your consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and Section 25(1) TTDSG. Consent can be withdrawn at any time.

Insofar as personal data is collected on our website with the help of the tool described here and forwarded to Facebook, we and Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland are jointly responsible for this data processing (Art. 26 GDPR). The joint responsibility is limited exclusively to the collection of the data and its forwarding to Facebook. The processing carried out by Facebook after the forwarding is not part of the joint responsibility. The obligations incumbent on us jointly have been set out in a joint processing agreement. The wording of the agreement can be found at: https://www.facebook.com/legal/controller_addendum. According to this agreement, we are responsible for providing the data protection information when using the Facebook tool and for the implementation of the tool on our website in a manner secure under data protection law. Facebook is responsible for the data security of the Facebook products. You can assert data subject rights (e.g. requests for access) regarding the data processed by Facebook directly with Facebook. If you assert data subject rights with us, we are obliged to forward them to Facebook.

Data transfer to the USA is based on the standard contractual clauses of the EU Commission. Details can be found here: https://www.facebook.com/legal/EU_data_transfer_addendum and https://www.facebook.com/help/566994660333381.

Further information on the protection of your privacy can be found in Facebook's privacy notices: https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/.

You can also deactivate the "Custom Audiences" remarketing function in the advertisement settings section at https://www.facebook.com/ads/preferences/?entry_product=ad_settings_screen. To do this, you must be logged in to Facebook.

If you do not have a Facebook account, you can deactivate usage-based advertising from Facebook on the website of the European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance: http://www.youronlinechoices.com/uk/your-ad-choices/.

Taboola Pixel

On this website – exclusively with your consent – a pixel for visitors and cookies from Taboola are used to measure conversions. The provider is Taboola Europe Limited, The Stanley Building, 7 Pancras Square, London N1C 4AG, United Kingdom (parent company: Taboola, Inc., 16 Madison Square West, New York, NY 10010, USA). This makes it possible to track the behaviour of users who have been redirected to the provider's website by clicking on a Taboola advertisement. The purpose of this procedure is to evaluate the effectiveness of Taboola advertisements for statistical and market research purposes and can help to optimise future advertising measures. The data collected by us is anonymous and does not allow any conclusions to be drawn about the identity of the users.

This service is used on the basis of your consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and Section 25(1) TTDSG. Consent can be withdrawn at any time.

Information on the purpose and scope of data collection as well as the further processing and use of the data by Taboola can be found in Taboola's privacy policy: https://www.taboola.com/policies/privacy-policy. There you can also configure your settings for the protection of your privacy.

LinkedIn Insight Tag

This website uses – exclusively with your consent – the Insight Tag from LinkedIn. The provider of this service is LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company, Wilton Plaza, Wilton Place, Dublin 2, Ireland.

Data Processing by LinkedIn Insight Tag

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, analyse the key professional data (e.g. career level, company size, country, location, industry, and job title) of our website visitors and thus better tailor our site to the respective target groups. Furthermore, with the help of LinkedIn Insight Tags, we can measure whether the visitors to our web pages make an enquiry or carry out another action (conversion measurement). Conversion measurement can also take place across devices (e.g. from PC to tablet). LinkedIn Insight Tag also offers a retargeting function, with the help of which we can display targeted advertising to visitors to our website outside of the website, whereby, according to LinkedIn, no identification of the advertising recipient takes place.

LinkedIn itself also collects so-called log files (URL, referrer URL, IP address, device and browser properties, and time of access). The IP addresses are shortened or (insofar as they are used to reach LinkedIn members across devices) hashed (pseudonymised). The direct identifiers of LinkedIn members are deleted by LinkedIn after seven days. The remaining pseudonymised 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 personal data of website visitors collected on its servers in the USA and use it within the scope of its own advertising measures. For details, please refer to LinkedIn's privacy policy at https://www.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy#choices-oblig.

Legal Basis

The above-mentioned service is used exclusively on the basis of your consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and Section 25 TTDSG. Consent can be withdrawn at any time – most easily via the "Cookie Settings" in the page footer.

Objection to the Use of LinkedIn Insight Tag

You can object to the analysis of usage behaviour and targeted advertising by LinkedIn at the following link: https://www.linkedin.com/psettings/guest-controls/retargeting-opt-out.

Furthermore, members of LinkedIn can control the use of their personal data for advertising purposes in the account settings. To avoid a linking of data collected on our website by LinkedIn with your LinkedIn account, you must log out of your LinkedIn account before visiting our website.

Data Processing Agreement

We have concluded a data processing agreement (DPA) for the use of the above-mentioned service. This is a contract required by data protection law, which ensures that the provider processes the personal data of our website visitors only in accordance with our instructions and in compliance with the GDPR.

6. Newsletter

Newsletter Data

If you would like to receive the newsletter offered, we require an email address from you as well as information that allows us to verify that you are the owner of the email address provided and that you agree to receive the newsletter. Further data is not collected, or only on a voluntary basis. We use this data exclusively for sending the requested information and do not pass it on to third parties.

The newsletter is sent via a self-developed system on our own servers; no external newsletter service provider is used.

The data entered in the newsletter registration form is processed exclusively on the basis of your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). You can withdraw the consent given to the storage of the data, the email address, and its use for sending the newsletter at any time, for example via the "unsubscribe" link in the newsletter. The lawfulness of the data processing operations already carried out remains unaffected by the withdrawal.

The data you provide to us for the purpose of subscribing to the newsletter will be stored by us until you unsubscribe from the newsletter and will be deleted from the newsletter distribution list after you unsubscribe from the newsletter or after the purpose no longer applies. We reserve the right to delete or block email addresses from our newsletter distribution list at our own discretion within the scope of our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.

Data stored by us for other purposes remains unaffected by this.

After you unsubscribe from the newsletter distribution list, your email address may be stored by us in a blacklist, insofar as this is necessary to prevent future mailings. The data from the blacklist is used only 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(1)(f) GDPR). Storage in the blacklist is not limited in time. You may object to the storage if your interests outweigh our legitimate interest.

YouTube with Extended Data Protection

This website embeds 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 disclosure of data to YouTube partners is not necessarily excluded by the extended data protection mode. Thus, YouTube – regardless of whether you watch a video – establishes a connection to the Google DoubleClick network.

As soon as you start a YouTube video on this website, a connection to YouTube's servers is established. In this process, the YouTube server is informed which of our pages you have visited. If you are logged in to your YouTube account, you enable YouTube to assign your browsing behaviour 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 end device or use comparable recognition technologies (e.g. device fingerprinting). In this way, YouTube can obtain information about visitors to this website. This information is used, among other things, to record video statistics, improve user-friendliness, and prevent attempted fraud.

Where applicable, further data processing operations may be triggered after the start of a YouTube video, over which we have no influence.

YouTube is used 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. If corresponding consent has been requested, processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and Section 25(1) TTDSG, insofar as the consent includes the storage of cookies or access to information on the user's end device (e.g. device fingerprinting) within the meaning of the TTDSG. Consent can be withdrawn at any time.

Further information on data protection at YouTube can be found in their privacy policy at: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en.

Cloudflare Turnstile

On the forms of this website (contact form, transaction request, purchase profile) we use the Cloudflare Turnstile service. The provider is Cloudflare, Inc., 101 Townsend St., San Francisco, CA 94107, USA (hereinafter “Cloudflare”).

The purpose of Cloudflare Turnstile is to verify whether data entered on our website (e.g. in a form) is being made by a human or by an automated program (bot). We use the invisible (non-interactive) variant, so that as a rule no interaction on your part (such as clicking a checkbox) is required. For this purpose, Turnstile analyses various characteristics of your device and your behaviour (e.g. IP address, time spent on the website, mouse movements as well as requests and properties of your browser). The data collected in this process is transmitted to and processed by Cloudflare.

The storage and analysis are based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in protecting its web offerings against abusive automated access and against SPAM. Where corresponding consent has been requested, processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and Section 25(1) TTDSG, insofar as the consent covers the storage of cookies or access to information on the user’s device (e.g. device fingerprinting) within the meaning of the TTDSG. Consent can be revoked at any time.

Data transfer to the USA is based on the standard contractual clauses of the EU Commission. Details can be found in Cloudflare’s privacy policy: https://www.cloudflare.com/en-gb/privacypolicy/ and in the separate privacy policy for Turnstile: https://www.cloudflare.com/en-gb/turnstile-privacy-policy/.
