b) When Providing Your Email Address

If you contact us via email, we use your personal data (name, email address, message text) only to get in touch with you. The processing is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. We use your email address only to process your request. Your data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer required to achieve the purpose of its collection. This is usually the case when it can be inferred from the circumstances that the matter in question has been conclusively clarified.

Your personal data will not be transferred to third parties for purposes other than those listed below. We only disclose your personal data to third parties if:

• You have given your explicit consent according to Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR,
• The disclosure is necessary according to Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR for the assertion, exercise, or defense of legal claims and there is no reason to assume that you have an overriding interest worthy of protection in not disclosing your data,
• In the event that there is a legal obligation for disclosure according to Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. c GDPR, and
• This is legally permissible and necessary according to Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b GDPR for the processing of contractual relationships with you.

For certain areas (e.g., hosting our website), we rely on the use of service providers, whom we generally oblige to comply with legal requirements through order processing.

Cookies

Cookies are small text files that are transmitted to your computer along with the actually requested data from the internet. These data are stored there and kept ready for later retrieval. Cookies are used on our website for technical reasons, but they are not intended to determine or store information about our visitors. Most browsers accept cookies automatically. However, you can configure your browser so that no cookies are stored on your computer or a notice always appears before a new cookie is created. The complete deactivation of cookies may, however, lead to you not being able to use all functions of our website.

For more information about cookies, visit http://www.allaboutcookies.org/ge/.

We use different types of cookies:

Session Cookies: Session cookies allow you to save your activities on the website during your browser session. Session cookies are used to enable you to use our website. These cookies are deleted after closing your browser or after closing the website.

Tracking Cookies: When you revisit the website, tracking cookies (also known as "persistent cookies") help recognize your browser, interests, and user behavior, allowing us to tailor the content to your individual needs. These cookies also optimize your usage by recording how, when, and how often you use the services and which links you click. This enables personalized trends, stories, ads, and follower suggestions. Tracking cookies are deleted after a maximum of 24 months. You can also manually delete these cookies at any time through your browser settings.

In addition to so-called "first-party cookies" set by us as the data controller, "third-party cookies" from other providers are also used. We inform you about the use of "third-party cookies" and the cooperation with external service providers who provide services such as web tracking or reach measurement within the individual privacy information of the respective online offers.

Access to Your Consent Settings

As part of consent management ("cookie banner"), we offer you the option to decide on the setting of cookies within our offering according to your preferences. You can change your decision at any time and give or withdraw your consent.

The legal basis for processing personal data using "first-party cookies" is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The legal basis for processing personal data using "third-party cookies" is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR.

Analysis and Tracking Tools

Google Analytics (GA4)

We use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland ("Google"), for analysis, optimization, and economic operation of our online offering, provided you have given us your prior consent based on Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR. Google will use this information on our behalf to evaluate your use of our website, compile reports on website activity, and provide other services related to website and internet usage. Pseudonymous usage profiles can be created from the processed data.

Your Rights/Objection: You can prevent the storage of cookies by setting your browser accordingly. You can also prevent the collection of data generated by the cookie and related to your use of this website by Google, as well as the processing of this data by Google, by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at the following link:
http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de
Further information on data usage by Google and your objection options can be found here:
https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites?hl=de

Web analysis remains deactivated as long as the Google add-on is not itself deactivated or deleted. Therefore, please do not delete the add-on as long as web analysis is not desired. The add-on is set per browser and computer. If you access our websites with different browsers or from different computers, you must add the add-on separately for each browser or computer.

Google Analytics 4 uses artificial intelligence ("machine learning") to analyze and evaluate usage data more precisely. IP address anonymization is already preset in Google Analytics 4.

Information on Google's terms of use and privacy can be found at http://www.google.com/analytics/terms/de.html and https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/.

The use of Google Analytics only takes place after the user's consent. Users can revoke this consent at any time.

Google Tag Manager

The Google Tag Manager allows marketers to manage website tags via an interface. The Tag Manager itself, which deploys the tags, works without cookies and does not collect personal data. The Tag Manager only triggers other tags that may collect data. Corresponding explanations can be found in this privacy policy for these respective third-party providers. However, the Google Tag Manager does not use this data. If you have set or otherwise implemented a deactivation of cookies, this will be observed for all tracking tags implemented with the Google Tag Manager; the tool does not change your cookie settings. The legal basis for processing is your consent according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR.

HubSpot

We use HubSpot for customer relationship management. The provider is HubSpot, Inc., 25 1st Street Cambridge, MA 0214, USA. The provider processes usage data (e.g., visited websites, interest in content, access times), content data (e.g., entries in online forms), and meta/communication data (e.g., device information, IP addresses) in the EU and the USA.

The legal basis for processing is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR. We have a legitimate interest in managing data in a simple and cost-effective way.

The legal basis for the transfer to a country outside the EEA is standard contractual clauses. The security of the data transferred to the third country (i.e., a country outside the EEA) is ensured by standard data protection clauses issued according to the review procedure under Art. 93 para. 2 GDPR (Art. 46 para. 2 lit. c GDPR), which we have agreed with the provider.

The data will be deleted when the purpose of their collection no longer applies and no retention obligations conflict. Further information can be found in the provider's privacy policy at https://legal.hubspot.com/privacy-policy abrufbar.

Data Security

During your visit to our website, we use the widespread SSL (Secure Socket Layer) procedure in conjunction with the highest encryption level supported by your browser. This is usually 256-bit encryption. If your browser does not support 256-bit encryption, we use 128-bit encryption instead. You can recognize whether an individual page of our website is transmitted in encrypted form by the closed display of the key or lock symbol in the lower status bar of your browser.

We also use appropriate technical and organizational security measures to protect your data against accidental or intentional manipulation, partial or complete loss, destruction, or unauthorized access by third parties. Our security measures are continuously improved in line with technological developments.
