Data protection

Data Protection on Our Website

Protecting your privacy during the processing of personal data is an important concern for us. When you visit our website, our web servers automatically store the IP address of your internet service provider, the website from which you are visiting us, the web pages you visit on our site, as well as the date and duration of your visit. This information is strictly necessary for the technical transmission of the web pages and the secure operation of the server. Personalized evaluation of this data does not take place.

If you send us data via a contact form, this data is stored on our servers as part of data backup. We use your data exclusively for the purpose of processing your request. Your data is treated with strict confidentiality. It will not be disclosed to third parties.

Personal Data

Personal data refers to data about your person. This includes your name, address, and email address. You are not required to provide any personal data to visit our website. In some cases, however, we may need your name, address, and additional information to provide you with the requested service.

The same applies if we provide you with informational material upon request or when we respond to your inquiries. In such cases, we will always inform you accordingly. Additionally, we only store data that you have automatically or voluntarily transmitted to us.

When you use one of our services, we usually only collect the data necessary to provide you with our service. We may ask for additional information, but such information is optional. Whenever we process personal data, we do so to offer you our service or to pursue our commercial objectives.

Contact

When contacting us (e.g., via contact form, email, telephone, or social media), the information provided by the inquiring individuals will be processed to the extent necessary to respond to the contact inquiries and any requested measures.

The response to contact inquiries within the scope of contractual or pre-contractual relationships is carried out to fulfill our contractual obligations or to respond to (pre)contractual inquiries. Furthermore, it is based on the legitimate interests in responding to the inquiries.

  • Processed data types: Inventory data (e.g., names, addresses), contact details (e.g., email, telephone numbers), content data (e.g., entries in online forms).

  • Data subjects: Communication partners.

  • Purposes of processing: Contact inquiries and communication.

  • Legal bases: Performance of a contract and pre-contractual inquiries (Art. 6(1)(b) of the GDPR), Legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f) of the GDPR).

Automatically stored data

Server log files

The provider of the pages automatically collects and stores information in server log files that your browser automatically transmits to us. These include:

  • Date and time of the request
  • Name of the requested file
  • Page from which the file was requested
  • Access status (file transferred, file not found, etc.)
  • Web browser used and operating system used
  • Full IP address of the requesting computer
  • Transferred data volume

These data are not merged with other data sources. The processing is carried out in accordance with Art. 6(1)(f) of the GDPR based on our legitimate interest in improving the stability and functionality of our website.

For reasons of technical security, especially to defend against attack attempts on our web server, we temporarily store this data. It is not possible for us to draw conclusions about individual persons based on this data. The data is anonymized by shortening the IP address to the domain level no later than after seven days, so that it is no longer possible to establish a reference to the individual user. In anonymized form, the data is also processed for statistical purposes; a comparison with other data sets or disclosure to third parties, even in excerpts, does not take place. Only as part of our server statistics, which we publish every two years in our activity report, is the number of page views displayed.

Registration for educational and training services

When you register for one of our educational and training offerings on our website, we use your data to provide you with our training services. The processing is carried out in accordance with Art. 6(1)(b) of the GDPR. The data processed in this context, the type, scope, purpose, and necessity of their processing are determined by the underlying contractual and training relationship.

Cookies

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer. When you visit our websites, we may store information on your computer in the form of cookies. Many cookies contain a so-called cookie ID. A cookie ID is a unique identifier of the cookie. It consists of a string that allows websites and servers to associate it with the specific internet browser in which the cookie was stored. This enables the visited websites and servers to distinguish the individual browser of the affected person from other internet browsers that contain other cookies. A specific internet browser can be recognized and identified via the unique cookie ID.

By using session cookies, the controller can provide users of this website with a user-friendly service that would not be possible without the setting of cookies. Without consent, we only use technically necessary cookies on the legal basis of legitimate interest according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.

We only use personal cookies to improve our website or for marketing/advertising purposes with your consent. During your first visit, you can voluntarily agree to tracking or analysis through the displayed cookie banner. Your data may be shared with partners or third parties. Only if you explicitly consent, these cookies will be stored, and the legal basis will then be your consent according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. You can change your cookie preferences here:

Cookiebot

Our website uses the Consent technology by Cookiebot to obtain your consent for storing certain cookies on your device or for using certain technologies and to document this in compliance with data protection regulations. The provider of this technology is Cybot A/S, Havnegade 39, 1058 Copenhagen, Denmark (hereinafter “Cookiebot”).

When you enter our website, a connection to Cookiebot’s servers is established to obtain your consents and other declarations regarding cookie use. Subsequently, Cookiebot stores a cookie in your browser to be able to assign the granted consents or their revocation to you. The data collected in this way is stored until you request us to delete it, delete the Cookiebot cookie yourself, or the purpose for data storage no longer applies. Mandatory legal retention periods remain unaffected.

The use of Cookiebot is for obtaining the legally required consents for the use of cookies. The legal basis for this is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR.

We have concluded a data processing agreement (DPA) with the aforementioned provider in accordance with Art. 28 GDPR. This is a data protection contract required by law, which ensures that this provider processes the personal data of our website visitors only according to our instructions and in compliance with the GDPR.

Google Analytics (4)

We use Google Analytics 4, a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (hereinafter “Google”) on our website. In this context, pseudonymous usage profiles are created and cookies are used. The information generated by the cookie about the use of our website (e.g., IP address of the accessing computer, time of access, referrer URL, as well as information about the browser and operating system used) is usually transmitted to and processed by Google’s servers in the United States. The use of Google Analytics is based on your consent under (Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR in conjunction with § 25 para. 1 TTDSG) for the analysis and optimization of our online offering as well as the economic operation of this website. Therefore, Google processes the information on our behalf to evaluate the use of the website, to compile reports on website activity, and to provide other services related to website use and internet use for market research and the demand-oriented design of these internet pages. We have concluded a data processing agreement with Google for the use of Google Analytics. With this contract, Google assures that it processes the data in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation and ensures the protection of the rights of data subjects. The IP address processed by Google Analytics is automatically shortened. The last three digits of your IP address are replaced with a “0”, preventing attribution. If necessary, the collected data will be transferred to third parties if this is required by law or if third parties process the data on behalf. User data collected through cookies will be deleted automatically after 14 months. The information generated by the cookies about the use of our website (e.g., IP address of the accessing computer, time of access, referrer URL, as well as information about the browser and operating system used) is transmitted to and processed by Google’s servers in the United States. For data transfers to recipients in the United States, Google relies on the Transatlantic Data Privacy Framework of July 10, 2023 (TADPF) and, in the case of data transfers to other third countries, on standard contractual clauses approved by the EU Commission as a guarantee for ensuring a level of data protection comparable to that of the EU. You can obtain a copy of the standard contractual clauses here. We only transmit data to Google on the basis of your consent. You can revoke or adjust your consent at any time with effect for the future. Further information on data protection in connection with Google Analytics can be found in the Google Analytics Help Center. Information about Google’s data usage can be found in their Privacy Policy.

Social plugins from Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Linkedin, etc.

Our website uses social buttons from social networks. These are only integrated into the page as HTML links, so no connection is established with the servers of the respective provider when you visit our website. If you click on one of the buttons, the website of the respective social network will open in a new window of your browser. There, you can, for example, activate the like or share button.

Online presence on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Linkedin

If you have given your consent in accordance with Art. 6(1)(a) of the GDPR to the respective social media operator, your data will be automatically collected and stored for market research and advertising purposes when you visit our online presence on the aforementioned social media platforms. Pseudonymous usage profiles will be created from this data. These can be used, for example, to display advertisements within and outside the platforms that presumably match your interests. Cookies are usually used for this purpose. For detailed information on the processing and use of data by the respective social media operator, as well as your rights and privacy settings, please refer to the privacy policies linked below. If you need assistance in this regard, you can contact us.

In order to provide you with the functionality of the form, we send the data you provide to form.taxi. This data is processed, stored, and forwarded to us by email.

Newsletter

This website uses the services of Mailchimp for sending newsletters. The provider is Rocket Science Group LLC, 675 Ponce De Leon Ave NE, Suite 5000, Atlanta, GA 30308, USA.

Mailchimp is a service that organizes and analyzes the sending of newsletters, among other things. When you enter data for the purpose of subscribing to the newsletter (e.g., email address), it is stored on Mailchimp’s servers in the USA.

With the help of Mailchimp, we can analyze our newsletter campaigns. When you open an email sent via Mailchimp, a file contained in the email (known as a web beacon) connects to Mailchimp’s servers in the USA. This allows us to determine whether a newsletter message has been opened and which links, if any, have been clicked. In addition, technical information is collected (e.g., time of access, IP address, browser type, and operating system). This information cannot be attributed to the respective newsletter recipient. It is used solely for the statistical analysis of newsletter campaigns. The results of these analyses can be used to better tailor future newsletters to the interests of the recipients.

If you do not want analysis by Mailchimp, you must unsubscribe from the newsletter. For this purpose, we provide a corresponding link in each newsletter message. The data processing is based on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) of the GDPR). You can revoke this consent at any time by unsubscribing from the newsletter. The legality of data processing operations that have already taken place remains unaffected by the revocation.

The data you provide to us 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 will be deleted from the newsletter distribution list after unsubscribing. Data that has been stored by us for other purposes remains unaffected.

The transfer of data to the USA is based on the standard contractual clauses of the European Commission.

Details can be found here:

https://mailchimp.com/eu-us-data-transfer-statement/

and

https://mailchimp.com/legal/dataprocessingaddendum/#Annex_C__Standard_Contractual_Clauses

After you have unsubscribed from the newsletter distribution list, your email address may be stored in a blacklist by us or the newsletter service provider, if 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 legal requirements for newsletter mailings (legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6(1)(f) of the GDPR). The storage in the blacklist is not time-limited. You can object to the storage if your interests outweigh our legitimate interest.

For more information, please refer to Mailchimp’s privacy policy: https://mailchimp.com/legal/terms/

We have entered into a data processing agreement (DPA) in accordance with Article 28 of the GDPR with the aforementioned provider. This is a legally required contract that ensures the provider processes the personal data of our website visitors only according to our instructions and in compliance with the GDPR.

Website Analytics

We use the privacy-friendly web analytics service provided by Plausible.io (Plausible Insights OÜ, Västriku tn 2, 50403 Tartu, Estonia, www.plausible.io) to collect anonymous statistics about the usage of our website.

You can object to the processing of your data for direct marketing purposes at any time and without stating reasons.
