We are very pleased about your interest in our company. Data protection is of particular importance for the management of funnellab GmbH. The use of the internet pages of funnellab GmbH is generally possible without any indication of personal data. However, if a data subject wants to use special services of our company via our website, the processing of personal data may become necessary. If the processing of personal data is necessary and there is no legal basis for such processing, we generally obtain the consent of the data subject.
The processing of personal data – such as the name, address, email address, or telephone number of a data subject – is always in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and in accordance with the country-specific data protection regulations applicable to funnellab GmbH.
By means of this privacy policy, our company wishes to inform the public about the nature, scope, and purpose of the personal data we collect, use, and process. Furthermore, data subjects are informed of their rights by means of this privacy policy.
As the controller, funnellab GmbH has implemented numerous technical and organizational measures to ensure the most complete protection possible of personal data processed through this website. Nevertheless, internet-based data transmissions may have security gaps, so absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, every data subject is free to transmit personal data to us via alternative means, such as by telephone.
The privacy policy of funnellab GmbH is based on the terms used by the European legislator for the adoption of the GDPR. Our privacy policy should be understandable for both the public and our customers and business partners. To ensure this, we would like to explain the terminology used in advance.
We use, among others, the following terms in this privacy policy:
a) Personal data
Personal data means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (hereinafter referred to as "data subject"). An identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier, or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural, or social identity of that natural person.
b) Data subject
A data subject is any identified or identifiable natural person whose personal data is processed by the controller responsible for the processing.
c) Processing
Processing is any operation or set of operations which is performed on personal data or on sets of personal data, whether or not by automated means, such as collection, recording, organization, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure, or destruction.
d) Restriction of processing
Restriction of processing is the marking of stored personal data with the aim of limiting their processing in the future.
e) Profiling
Profiling means any form of automated processing of personal data consisting of the use of personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person – in particular to analyze or predict aspects concerning that natural person's performance at work, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behavior, location, or movements.
f) Pseudonymization
Pseudonymization is the processing of personal data in such a manner that the personal data can no longer be attributed to a specific data subject without the use of additional information, provided that such additional information is kept separately and is subject to technical and organizational measures to ensure that the personal data are not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.
g) Controller or data controller
Controller or data controller means the natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or other body which, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data.
h) Processor
Processor means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or other body which processes personal data on behalf of the controller.
i) Recipient
Recipient means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or another body, to which the personal data are disclosed, whether a third party or not.
j) Third party
A third party is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or body other than the data subject, controller, processor, and persons who, under the direct authority of the controller or processor, are authorized to process personal data.
k) Consent
Consent of the data subject means any freely given, specific, informed, and unambiguous indication of the data subject's wishes by which he or she, by a statement or by a clear affirmative action, signifies agreement to the processing of personal data relating to him or her.
The controller in the sense of the General Data Protection Regulation, other data protection laws applicable in the Member States of the European Union, and other provisions related to data protection is:
funnellab GmbH

The internet pages of funnellab GmbH use cookies. Cookies are text files that are stored and saved on a computer system via an internet browser.
Many websites and servers use cookies. Many cookies contain a so-called cookie ID – a unique identifier of the cookie. This ID allows websites and servers to recognize the specific browser of the data subject and distinguish it from other browsers that may use different cookies.
Through the use of cookies, funnellab GmbH can provide users of this website with more user-friendly services that would not be possible without cookie usage.
Cookies allow the information and offers on our website to be optimized with the user in mind. As mentioned, cookies enable us to recognize users of our website. The purpose of this recognition is to make the use of our website easier. For example, a user does not have to enter login data again with each visit because this is handled by the website and the cookie stored on the user's computer system. Another example is the cookie of a shopping cart in an online store, which remembers the items placed in the cart.
The data subject can prevent the setting of cookies through our website at any time by adjusting the settings of the internet browser used and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Additionally, cookies that have already been set can be deleted at any time via an internet browser or other software programs. This is possible in all common internet browsers.
If the data subject disables the setting of cookies in the internet browser used, not all functions of our website may be fully usable.
The website of funnellab GmbH collects a series of general data and information each time the website is accessed by a data subject or an automated system. This general data and information are stored in the server log files. The following may be collected:
When using these general data and information, funnellab GmbH does not draw any conclusions about the data subject. Rather, this information is needed to:
These anonymously collected data and information are evaluated statistically and also with the aim of increasing data protection and data security within our company, in order to ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data we process. The anonymous data of the server log files are stored separately from all personal data provided by a data subject.
On the website of funnellab GmbH, users are given the opportunity to subscribe to our company’s newsletter. The input form used for this purpose determines what personal data is transmitted to the controller when the newsletter is ordered.
funnellab GmbH informs its customers and business partners regularly by means of a newsletter about company offers. The newsletter may only be received by the data subject if:
A confirmation email will be sent to the email address registered by a data subject for the first time for newsletter distribution, in a double opt-in procedure. This confirmation email serves to verify whether the owner of the email address as the data subject has authorized the receipt of the newsletter.
When registering for the newsletter, we also store the IP address assigned by the Internet Service Provider (ISP) and used by the data subject at the time of registration, as well as the date and time of registration. The collection of this data is necessary in order to understand any possible misuse of the email address at a later date and serves the legal protection of the controller.
The personal data collected as part of a registration for the newsletter will be used solely to send our newsletter. Subscribers to the newsletter may also be informed by email if this is necessary for the operation of the newsletter service or a related registration, such as in the case of changes to the newsletter offer or technical conditions.
There is no transfer of personal data collected by the newsletter service to third parties. The subscription to our newsletter may be terminated by the data subject at any time. The consent to the storage of personal data, which the data subject has given us for the purpose of sending the newsletter, may be revoked at any time. A corresponding link can be found in each newsletter. It is also possible to unsubscribe directly on the website of the controller or to notify the controller in another way.
The newsletters of funnellab GmbH contain so-called tracking pixels. A tracking pixel is a miniature graphic embedded in such emails sent in HTML format to allow log file recording and analysis. This enables a statistical evaluation of the success or failure of online marketing campaigns.
Using the embedded tracking pixel, funnellab GmbH may see if and when an email was opened by a data subject and which links in the email were accessed.
Such personal data collected via the tracking pixels in the newsletters are stored and analyzed by the controller in order to optimize the newsletter delivery and to adapt the content of future newsletters even better to the interests of the data subject. These personal data will not be passed on to third parties.
Data subjects are entitled to revoke the separate declaration of consent given via the double opt-in procedure at any time. After revocation, this personal data will be deleted by the controller. Unsubscribing from the newsletter is automatically interpreted by funnellab GmbH as a revocation.
Due to legal requirements, the website of funnellab GmbH contains information that enables quick electronic contact with our company, as well as direct communication with us, which also includes a general email address. If a data subject contacts the controller by email or via a contact form, the personal data transmitted by the data subject is automatically stored.
Such voluntarily submitted personal data is stored for the purpose of processing or contacting the data subject. There is no disclosure of this personal data to third parties.
The controller processes and stores personal data of the data subject only for the period necessary to achieve the storage purpose or as stipulated by the European legislator or other legislators in laws or regulations to which the controller is subject.
If the storage purpose no longer applies or if a storage period prescribed by the European legislator or another competent legislator expires, the personal data is routinely blocked or deleted in accordance with legal requirements.
funnellab may engage service providers acting as processors to perform specific services on our behalf.
Furthermore, funnellab may transfer your personal data to payment service providers, law enforcement or government authorities, and other third parties engaged in connection with our existing contractual relationship.
The legal basis for this processing includes:
We collect, process, and use personal data only as necessary for the establishment, content structure, or modification of the legal relationship (inventory data). The legal basis for this is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR – processing for the performance of a contract or for pre-contractual measures.
Personal data that we collect, process, and use in the course of using our website (usage data) is only used to the extent necessary to enable or bill for the service to the user.
a) Right to confirmation
Each data subject has the right to obtain confirmation from the controller as to whether or not personal data concerning them is being processed.
b) Right of access
Data subjects have the right to receive free information about their stored personal data and a copy of this information at any time. This includes:
c) Right to rectification
Data subjects have the right to request the immediate correction of inaccurate personal data. They also have the right to have incomplete personal data completed.
d) Right to erasure (“right to be forgotten”)
Data subjects have the right to request the erasure of personal data without undue delay if:
If funnellab GmbH has made the data public and is obliged to erase it, we will take reasonable steps, including technical measures, to inform others processing the data that the data subject has requested erasure of all links, copies, or replications, as long as processing is not required.
e) Right to restriction of processing
Data subjects have the right to obtain restriction of processing where:
f) Right to data portability
Data subjects have the right to receive their personal data in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format and to transmit it to another controller, where technically feasible and where it does not adversely affect others.
g) Right to object
Data subjects may object at any time to processing based on Art. 6(1)(e) or (f) GDPR, including profiling. We will no longer process the data unless we demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds.
Where personal data is processed for direct marketing, the data subject has the right to object at any time. This also applies to profiling related to direct marketing.
h) Automated decisions including profiling
Data subjects have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects or significantly affects them – unless:
In these cases, funnellab ensures measures to safeguard the data subject’s rights, such as the right to human intervention, to express their viewpoint, and to contest the decision.
i) Right to withdraw consent
Data subjects may withdraw consent to the processing of personal data at any time.
The data controller collects and processes the personal data of applicants for the purpose of handling the application process. Processing may also be carried out electronically. This is particularly the case if an applicant submits corresponding application documents by email or via a web form on the website.
If the controller concludes an employment contract with an applicant, the transmitted data will be stored for the purpose of handling the employment relationship in compliance with legal regulations.
If no employment contract is concluded, the application documents will be automatically deleted two months after the notification of the rejection decision, provided that no other legitimate interests of the controller oppose such deletion. Other legitimate interest in this sense could include, for example, a burden of proof in proceedings under the German General Equal Treatment Act (AGG).
The controller has integrated components of the company Facebook on this website. Facebook is a social network.
A social network is a social meeting place operated on the Internet, an online community that usually allows users to communicate and interact with each other in a virtual space. It can serve as a platform for sharing opinions and experiences or allows the online community to provide personal or business-related information. Facebook allows users of the social network to create private profiles, upload photos, and network via friend requests.
The operating company of Facebook is Meta Platforms, Inc., 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA. For residents outside the USA or Canada, the controller is Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland.
With each visit to one of the individual pages of this website on which a Facebook component (Facebook plug-in) has been integrated, the internet browser on the user’s system is automatically prompted to download a display of the corresponding Facebook component from Facebook. An overview of all Facebook plug-ins can be accessed at: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/?locale=en_US.
During this technical procedure, Facebook gains knowledge of which specific sub-page of our website was visited by the data subject.
If the data subject is logged into Facebook at the same time, Facebook recognizes with each visit to our website and throughout the duration of the respective stay on our website which specific sub-page the data subject visited. This information is collected by the Facebook component and associated with the respective Facebook account of the data subject. If the data subject clicks on one of the Facebook buttons integrated on our website (e.g., the "Like" button) or submits a comment, Facebook assigns this information to the personal Facebook user account of the data subject and stores this personal data.
Facebook always receives information via the Facebook component that the data subject has visited our website if the data subject is logged in to Facebook at the time of accessing our website; this happens regardless of whether the person clicks on the Facebook component or not. If the data subject does not want this information to be transmitted to Facebook, they can prevent this transmission by logging out of their Facebook account before accessing our website.
The data policy published by Facebook, available at https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/, provides information on the collection, processing, and use of personal data by Facebook. It also explains what settings Facebook offers to protect user privacy. Various applications are also available to prevent data transmission to Facebook.
The controller has integrated Google AdSense on this website. Google AdSense is an online service that enables advertising to be placed on third-party sites. Google AdSense is based on an algorithm that selects advertisements displayed on third-party sites in accordance with the content of the respective third-party site. Google AdSense allows interest-based targeting of internet users, which is implemented by generating individual user profiles.
The operating company of the Google AdSense component is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland.
The purpose of the Google AdSense component is the integration of advertisements on our website. Google AdSense sets a cookie on the data subject’s system. What cookies are has already been explained above. By setting the cookie, Google is enabled to analyze the use of our website. Each time a user accesses one of the pages of this website that is operated by the controller and on which a Google AdSense component has been integrated, the internet browser on the system of the data subject is automatically prompted by the respective Google AdSense component to transmit data to Google for the purpose of online advertising and billing of commissions. In the course of this technical procedure, Google gains knowledge of personal data, such as the IP address of the data subject, which Google uses, among other things, to track the origin of visitors and clicks and subsequently to enable commission calculations.
The data subject can prevent the setting of cookies by our website, as already described, at any time by means of a corresponding setting of the internet browser used and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Such a setting of the internet browser used would also prevent Google from setting a cookie on the data subject’s system. In addition, a cookie already set by Google AdSense can be deleted at any time via the internet browser or other software programs.
Google AdSense also uses so-called tracking pixels. A tracking pixel is a miniature graphic embedded in web pages to enable log file recording and log file analysis, which allows for statistical evaluation. Based on the embedded tracking pixel, Google can determine whether and when a website was opened by a data subject and which links were clicked on. Tracking pixels serve, among other things, to analyze the flow of visitors on a website.
Via Google AdSense, personal data and information – which also includes the IP address and is necessary for the collection and billing of displayed advertisements – is transmitted to Google in the United States of America. This personal data is stored and processed in the United States. Google may disclose this personal data collected via the technical procedure to third parties.
Google AdSense is further explained at https://www.google.com/adsense/start/.
The controller has integrated the component Google Analytics (with anonymization function) on this website. Google Analytics is a web analytics service. Web analytics is the collection, gathering, and analysis of data about the behavior of visitors to websites. A web analysis service collects, among other things, data about the website from which a data subject came to a website (so-called referrer), which subpages were visited, or how often and for what duration a subpage was viewed. Web analytics is mainly used to optimize a website and for the cost-benefit analysis of internet advertising.
The operating company of the Google Analytics component is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland.
The controller uses the addition "_gat._anonymizeIp" for web analytics via Google Analytics. Through this add-on, the IP address of the internet connection of the data subject is shortened and anonymized by Google when access to our websites is from a member state of the European Union or another contracting state to the Agreement on the European Economic Area.
The purpose of the Google Analytics component is to analyze visitor traffic on our website. Google uses the data and information collected, among other things, to evaluate the use of our website, to compile online reports for us that show the activities on our websites, and to provide other services related to the use of our website.
Google Analytics places a cookie on the data subject’s system. The setting of cookies is explained above. The cookie enables Google to analyze the use of our website. Each time a page of this site, which is operated by the controller and into which a Google Analytics component has been integrated, is called up, the internet browser on the system of the data subject is automatically prompted to transmit data to Google for the purpose of online analysis.
As part of this technical process, Google gains knowledge of personal information, such as the IP address of the data subject, which helps Google to track the origin of visitors and clicks, among other things.
Cookies are used to store personal information such as access time, the location from which access originated, and the frequency of visits to our site. With each visit to our website, this personal data – including the IP address of the internet connection used by the data subject – is transmitted to Google in the United States of America. This personal data is stored by Google in the U.S. Google may pass this personal data collected through the technical procedure to third parties.
The data subject can prevent the setting of cookies through our website at any time by adjusting the settings of the internet browser used and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Such a setting would also prevent Google from placing a cookie on the data subject’s system. In addition, cookies already set by Google Analytics can be deleted at any time via the internet browser or other software programs.
Furthermore, the data subject has the option of objecting to and preventing the collection of data generated by Google Analytics and related to the use of this website as well as the processing of this data by Google. To do so, the data subject must download and install a browser add-on from the link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. This browser add-on informs Google Analytics via JavaScript that no data and information about website visits may be transmitted. Google considers the installation of the browser add-on to be an objection. If the system of the data subject is deleted, formatted, or reinstalled at a later time, the browser add-on must be reinstalled to deactivate Google Analytics. If the browser add-on is uninstalled or deactivated by the data subject or any other person under their control, it is possible to reinstall or reactivate the browser add-on.

The controller has integrated Google Remarketing services on this website. Google Remarketing is a feature of Google Ads that allows a company to display advertising to internet users who have previously visited the company’s website. The integration of Google Remarketing thus allows a company to create user-based advertising and consequently display interest-relevant ads to the internet user.
The operating company of the Google Remarketing services is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland.
The purpose of Google Remarketing is the display of interest-relevant advertising. Google Remarketing enables us to show advertisements via the Google advertising network or to have them displayed on other websites, which are tailored to the individual needs and interests of internet users.
Google Remarketing places a cookie on the data subject’s IT system. What cookies are has already been explained above. With the setting of the cookie, Google is enabled to recognize the visitor to our website when they later call up websites that are also members of the Google advertising network. With each visit to a website on which the Google Remarketing service has been integrated, the internet browser of the data subject automatically identifies itself to Google. During this technical procedure, Google gains knowledge of personal data, such as the IP address or the user's browsing behavior, which Google uses, among other things, for the display of interest-relevant advertising.
Cookies are used to store personal information, such as the web pages visited by the data subject. Each time someone visits our website, personal data – including the IP address of the internet connection used by the data subject – is transmitted to Google in the United States of America. This personal data is stored by Google in the U.S. Google may pass this personal data to third parties.
The data subject can prevent the setting of cookies by our website, as already described above, at any time by adjusting the settings of the internet browser used and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Such a setting would also prevent Google from placing a cookie on the data subject’s IT system. Additionally, cookies already set by Google can be deleted at any time via the internet browser or other software programs.
Furthermore, the data subject has the option of objecting to interest-based advertising by Google. To do this, the data subject must call up the link www.google.de/settings/ads from each browser used and make the desired settings there.
Further information and Google’s applicable privacy provisions can be found at:
https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/
The controller has integrated the Google+ button as a component on this website. Google+ is a so-called social network. A social network is a social meeting place operated on the Internet, an online community that typically allows users to communicate and interact with each other in a virtual space. A social network can serve as a platform for the exchange of opinions and experiences or enable the internet community to provide personal or business-related information. Google+ allows users to create private profiles, upload photos, and network via friend requests, among other features.
The operating company of Google+ is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland.
With each visit to one of the pages of this website that includes a Google+ button, the internet browser on the data subject’s system is automatically prompted to download a representation of the corresponding Google+ button from Google. As part of this technical procedure, Google becomes aware of which specific sub-page of our website the data subject has visited. More detailed information about Google+ is available at: https://developers.google.com/+/
If the data subject is logged in to Google+ at the same time, Google recognizes with each visit to our website and during the entire duration of their stay, which specific sub-page the data subject visits. This information is collected via the Google+ button and assigned to the respective Google+ account of the data subject.
If the data subject clicks one of the Google+ buttons integrated on our website and thus submits a Google+1 recommendation, Google assigns this information to the personal Google+ user account of the data subject and stores this personal data. Google stores the data subject’s Google+1 recommendation and makes it publicly available in accordance with the terms and conditions accepted by the data subject. A Google+1 recommendation given by the data subject on this website will subsequently be stored and processed along with other personal data, such as the name of the Google+1 account used and the stored profile picture, in other Google services – for example in search engine results, the Google account of the data subject, or in other places such as on websites or in connection with advertisements.
Furthermore, Google is able to link the visit to this website with other personal data stored by Google. Google records this personal information for the purpose of improving or optimizing its various services.
Google receives information via the Google+ button that the data subject has visited our website, provided that the data subject is logged in to Google+ at the time of the call to our website. If the data subject does not want their personal data to be transmitted to Google, they can prevent such transmission by logging out of their Google+ account before visiting our website.
More information and the applicable privacy policies of Google can be found at:
https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/
Further guidance on the Google+1 button is available at:
https://developers.google.com/+/web/buttons-policy
The controller has integrated Google AdWords on this website. Google AdWords is an online advertising service that allows advertisers to place ads in Google’s search engine results as well as within the Google advertising network. It enables advertisers to define specific keywords in advance, through which their ads are only displayed in the search results when users search using those keywords. Ads within the Google advertising network are distributed to topic-relevant websites using an automated algorithm and based on previously defined keywords.
The operating company for Google AdWords services is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland.
The purpose of using Google AdWords is to promote our website by displaying interest-relevant advertisements on third-party websites and in Google's search results, as well as displaying third-party advertisements on our website.
If a data subject arrives on our website via a Google ad, Google places a so-called conversion cookie on their IT system. (The function of cookies was previously explained above.) A conversion cookie expires after thirty days and does not serve to identify the individual. If the cookie has not expired, it allows both us and Google to determine whether a specific subpage—for example, a shopping cart—was accessed. This enables both us and Google to track whether a user who came via an AdWords ad made a purchase or abandoned the process.
The data and information collected through the conversion cookie are used by Google to create visit statistics for our website. We use these statistics to determine the total number of users referred to us through AdWords ads and thereby to assess the effectiveness of individual AdWords ads and optimize future campaigns. Neither we nor other Google AdWords advertisers receive information from Google that could identify the individual.
The conversion cookie stores personal data, such as visited web pages. Each visit to our website transmits personal data, including the IP address used by the data subject, to Google in the United States. Google may store and possibly share these personal data with third parties.
The data subject may, at any time, prevent the setting of cookies via our website through a corresponding setting in their browser and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. This would also prevent Google from placing a conversion cookie. In addition, a cookie already set by Google AdWords can be deleted at any time via the browser or other software programs.
Furthermore, the data subject can object to interest-based advertising by Google at any time. To do this, they must access www.google.de/settings/ads from each browser they use and set their preferences.
Further information and Google’s applicable privacy policy can be found at: https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/
The controller has integrated components of the Instagram service on this website. Instagram is a platform that enables users to share photos and videos and redistribute them across other social networks.
The operating company of Instagram is Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland.
Each time a page containing an Instagram component (Insta button) is accessed, the user's browser automatically downloads a representation of the component from Instagram. Through this process, Instagram is informed about which specific subpage the data subject visits.
If the data subject is logged into Instagram while visiting our site, Instagram can track their entire session and associate the page visit with the user's Instagram account. If the user clicks an Instagram button, the corresponding data are linked to their account and stored and processed by Instagram.
Instagram receives this information regardless of whether the user clicks the button, as long as they are logged in during the visit. If this is not desired, the user must log out of their Instagram account before visiting our site.
Further information and Instagram’s privacy policies can be found at:

The controller has integrated LinkedIn components on this website. LinkedIn is a business-oriented social networking platform with over 400 million users in more than 200 countries.
The operating company is LinkedIn Corporation, 2029 Stierlin Court, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. For data protection matters outside the USA, LinkedIn Ireland, Wilton Plaza, Wilton Place, Dublin 2, Ireland, is responsible.
Each time a page with a LinkedIn plugin is accessed, the user’s browser downloads a representation of the component from LinkedIn. Further details on plugins: https://developer.linkedin.com/plugins
If the data subject is logged into LinkedIn, LinkedIn can track which specific subpages of our website were visited and assign this information to the user’s LinkedIn account. Clicking any LinkedIn button also links that action to the user account.
LinkedIn always receives this information if the user is logged in while visiting our site, even if no plugin is clicked. To prevent this, users must log out of LinkedIn beforehand.
LinkedIn provides options to unsubscribe from messages and targeted ads at:
https://www.linkedin.com/psettings/guest-controls
Cookies used by partners can be refused at:

The controller has integrated YouTube components on this website. YouTube allows users to publish videos and others to watch, rate, and comment on them.
The operating company of YouTube is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland.
When visiting a page with an embedded YouTube video, the browser automatically retrieves content from YouTube. YouTube and Google learn which specific subpage was accessed.
If the data subject is logged into YouTube, this visit is associated with their YouTube account. This occurs regardless of whether the user plays the video. To avoid such associations, the user must log out before visiting our website.
YouTube’s privacy policy: https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/
Article 6(1)(a) GDPR serves as the legal basis where consent is obtained.
Processing necessary for a contract relies on Article 6(1)(b) GDPR.
If processing is legally required (e.g., tax obligations), Article 6(1)(c) applies.
In vital interest scenarios (e.g., medical emergencies), Article 6(1)(d) applies.
Article 6(1)(f) GDPR is used when processing is necessary for the legitimate interests of our company or a third party, as long as these are not overridden by the interests or rights of the data subject (see Recital 47, GDPR).
Where Article 6(1)(f) GDPR applies, our legitimate interest is the operation of our business for the benefit of all employees and shareholders.
The retention period is based on statutory retention obligations. After expiration, data are routinely deleted unless needed for contractual purposes.
In some cases, providing personal data is required by law (e.g., tax regulations) or contract (e.g., party identification). Failure to provide such data could mean a contract cannot be concluded. Data subjects should consult our staff for case-by-case advice.
As a responsible company, we do not use automated decision-making or profiling.
We reserve the right to amend this policy if necessary, such as in response to changes in legal requirements or third-party services. No separate notification will be issued.
