3. Data Collection When Using Our Website

If you visit our website purely for informational purposes and do not register or provide us with other information, we only collect the data that your browser transmits to our server:
• IP address (shortened),
• Cookie consent status,
• Screen resolution,
• Date and time of request,
• Time zone difference from GMT,
• Specific page requested,
• Access status/HTTP status code,
• Amount of data transferred,
• Referring website,
• Browser type, language, version, and plugin types,
• Operating system and its version.
This data is technically necessary to display our website correctly and to ensure stability and security (legal basis: Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR).

4. Cookies and Consent

We use cookies and similar technologies to provide content, optimize features, and analyze user behavior. Some cookies are technically necessary; others serve statistical and marketing purposes.
Types of cookies:
• Transient cookies (e.g. session cookies) are deleted automatically when you close your browser.
• Persistent cookies remain on your device to allow us to recognize your browser during your next visit.
Legal basis:
• Technically necessary cookies: Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR
• Analytics and marketing cookies (Google Analytics, HubSpot): Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR (consent)
You may revoke your consent at any time via our cookie banner or your browser settings.

5. Use of Google Analytics 4

We use Google Analytics 4, a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (“Google”).
Google Analytics uses cookies and similar technologies to collect information about the use of the website, such as:
• anonymized IP address,
• user interactions (page views, clicks, scroll behavior),
• browser and device types,
• location and language settings.
The information generated about your use of the website is usually transferred to and stored on a Google server. Data may also be transferred to the United States. Google relies on EU Standard Contractual Clauses to ensure an appropriate level of data protection.
We use Google Analytics with IP anonymization (“IP masking”), meaning your IP address is shortened and not linked directly to you.
Legal basis:
Your consent pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR.
Revocation:
You can revoke your consent at any time via our cookie banner or by installing a browser plugin:

6. Use of HubSpot

We use HubSpot, a service of HubSpot Ireland Limited, 2nd Floor 30 North Wall Quay, Dublin 1, Ireland, for marketing, sales and communication purposes as well as website usage analysis.
Data processing in the EU:
We use HubSpot exclusively with activated EU data region. This means that all personal data — such as submitted forms, downloads, and interactions on our website — is stored and processed exclusively on servers located within the European Union. Data transfers to third countries (e.g. the USA) do not occur as a rule.
Examples of processed data:
• IP address,
• location data,
• browser information,
• visited pages and timestamps,
• form entries (e.g. contact forms),
• email interactions (e.g. open and click rates).
Purpose of processing:
To contact you, generate leads, analyze user behavior, and improve our communication and content.
Legal basis:
Your consent pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR, which you may revoke at any time — e.g. via a link in our emails or in your cookie settings.
Note on possible isolated processing outside the EU:
In rare cases where HubSpot technical components (e.g. support or diagnostics) require processing outside the EU, HubSpot uses EU Standard Contractual Clauses to ensure an adequate level of data protection.

7. Job Applications

We collect and process personal data from applicants for the purpose of handling the application process. If an applicant is selected for an interview or position, the submitted data will be stored and processed for that purpose in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
If the application is unsuccessful, we delete the application documents three months after notification of the rejection, unless there are legitimate interests in retaining them (e.g. legal defense).
Legal basis: § 26 BDSG (Federal Data Protection Act)

8. Your Rights

In accordance with the GDPR, you have the following rights regarding your personal data:
• Right of access (Art. 15 GDPR)

• Right to object to processing (Art. 21 GDPR)
• Right to withdraw consent at any time (Art. 7 para. 3 GDPR)
• Right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority (Art. 77 GDPR)
If you have given consent to process your personal data, you may withdraw that consent at any time. The lawfulness of the processing carried out until the withdrawal remains unaffected. Further processing based on another legal ground (e.g. legal obligations) is likewise unaffected.
