• Access status/HTTP status code
• Amount of data transferred
• Referrer URL (previously visited page)

5. Collection of Personal Data

a) When visiting the website

You can generally use our website without providing personal data. An exception is the server log files mentioned in Section 4, which are technically required. Furthermore, we use cookies and web analytics services when you visit our website. You will find more information about this further down in this privacy policy.

b) When contacting us

If you contact us by email or request information through our contact form or demo booking form, the data you provide (your email address, name, company, and any other information) will be stored to enable us to get in touch with you.

The legal basis for this is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b GDPR (pre-contractual measures). For other purposes, the protection of legitimate interests under Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR serves as the legal basis. We delete the data collected in this context once storage is no longer necessary, or restrict processing if legal retention obligations apply.

6. Cookies

We use cookies on our website. These are small files that your browser automatically creates and that are stored on your device. Cookies do not cause any damage to your device and do not contain viruses.

We distinguish between technically necessary cookies (legal basis: Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR) and cookies that require consent for analytics and marketing (legal basis: Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR).

When you visit our website, a cookie consent banner appears where you can individually choose which cookie categories you want to allow. You can withdraw your consent at any time with future effect.

Furthermore, you can configure your browser settings according to your wishes and, for example, generally reject the acceptance of cookies. Please note that you may not be able to use all features of this website in that case.

7. Google Analytics

This website uses Google Analytics. The operator of this service is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (hereinafter "Google"). Google Analytics enables us, through the setting of cookies and the information obtained, to draw conclusions about user behavior on our website.

We use Google Analytics with IP anonymization enabled. This means your IP address is shortened by Google within EU member states or other signatory states to the European Economic Area Agreement before processing.

The legal basis for the use of Google Analytics is your consent under Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR, which you can give through our cookie consent banner. Without your consent, no analytics cookies are set.

The information generated by cookies is transferred to a Google server and stored there. Google LLC is certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, ensuring an adequate level of data protection. We have concluded a data processing agreement with Google.

Further information as well as Google's privacy policy can be found at: policies.google.com/privacy

8. Google Ads (Conversion Tracking)

This website uses Google Ads. The purpose of this service is conversion tracking, meaning we can see what happens after you click on one of our ads. Cookies are set for this purpose, which have limited validity and do not contain personal data. Personal identification of the user is therefore not possible.

The legal basis is your consent under Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR, which you can give through our cookie consent banner.

Further information can be found at: policies.google.com/privacy

9. Social Media Links

Our website contains links to our profiles on LinkedIn and XING. These are simple hyperlinks (not social media plugins). You are only redirected to the respective platforms by clicking on the links. Data transfer to these services does not take place without your active involvement.

10. Transfer to Third Countries

In the context of the processing described above, personal data may be transferred to servers in the USA (in particular by Google and Vercel). The USA has an adequate level of data protection through the adequacy decision of the European Commission regarding the EU-US Data Privacy Framework. The service providers we use are certified under the Data Privacy Framework.

11. Storage Duration

Unless otherwise stated in the individual sections of this privacy policy, we store personal data only as long as it is necessary for the fulfillment of the pursued purposes or to the extent that legal retention obligations apply (e.g., commercial and tax law retention obligations of 6 or 10 years). After that, the data is routinely deleted.

12. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We reserve the right to update this privacy policy to adapt it to changed legal conditions or when the service and data processing change. The current version is always available on this page.
