8. Social Plugins

8.1 Description and scope of data processing

On our website you have the possibility to go directly to LinkedIn.

LinkedIn

Your browser only establishes a direct connection to LinkedIn's servers when you activate it by clicking the button. The buttons are simple (HTML) links. Instead of your IP address, only the server address is transmitted to LinkedIn until activation (you click the button). This means that as long as you do not click the button (or link) to share content, no data about you is transmitted to LinkedIn by the SP. After clicking the button, LinkedIn then transmits the content of the SP directly to your browser, which integrates the content into the offer.

The provider has no way of influencing the extent of the data collected by LinkedIn using the SP. The provider therefore informs you of its level of knowledge as follows: By integrating the SP into the offer, LinkedIn receives the information that your browser has accessed the corresponding page of the offer from the time you activate it (clicking the button), regardless of whether you have a user profile on LinkedIn or are not currently logged in. Your browser sends this information, along with your IP address, directly to a TW server, where it is stored.

If you are logged in to LinkedIn, LinkedIn can assign the visit to the service to your LinkedIn account. If you click the button, the corresponding information is also sent directly to a LinkedIn server, where it is stored. The information is also published on LinkedIn and displayed to your contacts on LinkedIn. You can find out the scope and purpose of the collection of data and the further processing and use of the data by LinkedIn as well as setting options and your rights in this regard to protect your privacy in LinkedIn's privacy policy: https://www.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy
LinkedIn offers the option to unsubscribe from email messages, SMS messages and targeted ads and to manage ad settings at https://www.linkedin.com/psettings/guest-controls . LinkedIn also uses partners such as Quantcast, Google Analytics, BlueKai, DoubleClick, Nielsen, Comscore, Eloqua and Lotame, who can set cookies. Such cookies can be rejected at https://www.linkedin.com/legal/cookie-policy.

LinkedIn’s cookie policy is available at https://www.linkedin.com/legal/cookie-policy .

If you do not want the data collected by LinkedIn to be directly associated with your LinkedIn account, you must log out of LinkedIn before activating the SP.

8.2 Legal basis for data processing

The other personal data processed during the sending process serve to prevent misuse of the contact form and to ensure the security of our information technology systems.

10.4 Duration of storage

The data is deleted as soon as it is no longer required to achieve the purpose for which it was collected. For the personal data from the input mask of the contact form and those that were sent by email, this is the case when the respective conversation with the user has ended.

11 web analytics

11.1 Web analysis through Google Analytics

scope of processing of personal data

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service provided by Google Inc. ("Google"). Google Analytics uses "cookies", which are text files placed on your computer, to help the website analyze how users use the site. The information generated by the cookie about your use of the website is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there.

  • origin (country and city)
  • operating system
  • device (PC, tablet PC or smartphone)
  • accessed website
  • Website from which the user accessed the requested website (referrer)
  • Subpages that are accessed from the website you are visiting
  • time spent on the website
  • frequency of website visits
  • which files were downloaded

However, if IP anonymization is activated on this website, your IP address will be shortened beforehand by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide the website operator with other services relating to website activity and internet usage.

The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other data held by Google. You can prevent cookies from being saved by setting your browser software accordingly; however, we would like to point out that in this case you may not be able to use all functions of this website to their full extent. You can also prevent Google from collecting the data generated by the cookie and relating to your use of the website (including your IP address) and from processing this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available under the following link: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de

As an alternative to the browser plug-in or within browsers on mobile devices, please click on the following link to set an opt-out cookie that will prevent Google Analytics from collecting data on this website in the future (this opt-out cookie only works in this browser and only for this domain; if you delete your cookies in this browser, you must click this link again):

Google Analytics is set up with the extension “_anonymizeIp()” so that the IP addresses are not stored in full, but 2 bytes of the IP address are masked (e.g.: 192.168.xxx.xxx).
In this way, it is no longer possible to assign the shortened IP address to the calling computer.

Further information on terms of use and data protection can be found here:
http://www.google.com/analytics/terms/de.html
http://www.google.com/intl/de/analytics/privacyoverview.html.

purpose of data processing

The processing of users' personal data enables us to analyse the surfing behaviour of our users. By evaluating the data obtained, we are able to compile information about the use of the individual components of our website.
This helps us to continually improve our website and its user-friendliness. For these purposes, we also have a legitimate interest in processing the data in accordance with Art. 6 (1) f GDPR. By anonymizing the IP address, the user's interest in the protection of their personal data is adequately taken into account.

duration of storage

All data collected is anonymized and cannot be traced back to individuals. The data is therefore deleted as soon as it is no longer required for our recording purposes.

possibility of objection and removal
