Thank you for visiting our websites. The following information explains how we handle your data in accordance with Article 13 of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

Controller

The party responsible for the collection and processing of data described below is the body stated in the Legal Notice.

Saving IP addresses

We save the IP address sent from your web browser for 7 days strictly for the purpose of detecting, limiting and combating attacks on our websites. After this period we erase/anonymise the IP address. The legal basis for this is Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR.

Usage data

When you visit our websites, so-called usage data is temporarily evaluated on our web server as a log file for statistical purposes to improve the quality of our websites. This data record consists of:

• The name and address of the requested content,
• The date and time of the request,
• The amount of data transmitted,
• The access status (content transmitted, content not found),
• A description of the web browser and operating system used,
• The referral link, which indicates the page you accessed our page from,

The specified log data is only stored in anonymised form.

Data security

We have implemented technical and organisational measures to protect your data against unauthorised access to the greatest extent possible. We use an encryption procedure on our websites. Your information is transmitted from your computer to our server and back again over the internet using TLS encryption. This is evident from the lock icon in the status bar of your browser and from the address line which begins with https:// . 

Other contract processors

Within the framework of commissioned data processing pursuant to Art. 28 of the GDPR, we forward your data to service providers who help us with operating our websites and the associated processes. These are, for example, hosting service providers. Our service providers are strictly bound by our instructions and are contractually obliged to comply with them.

Listed below are the processors with whom we collaborate, where these are not already specified in the Privacy Policy above. If data is to be transmitted outside of the EU or EEA within this framework, we provide information about the adequate level of data protection. 

*You can find more information from Microsoft about data protection and Azure here. 

Cookies

We use cookies that are strictly necessary to enable functionality on our websites. We also use cookies for analysis, tracking and advertising purposes. Cookies are small text files which are saved on your device and can be read. A distinction is made between session cookies, which are deleted as soon as you close your browser, and permanent cookies which are stored beyond a single session. Cookies can contain data which enable the device you use to be recognised when you next visit the website. Some cookies also only contain information about certain settings however which cannot be attributed to an individual. 

When you first visit our website, we will ask you to consent to our use of cookies for analysis, tracking and advertising purposes. If you have previously agreed to the use of these cookies, you can revoke your consent here over the Cookie settings.

The types of cookies we use on our websites are as follows:

Strictly necessary cookies

This type of cookie enables a range of basic functions that ensure our website functions optimally. They also help us to keep our website display as user-friendly as possible. Without these strictly necessary cookies, our website cannot function properly.

Legal basis: In line with Art. 6 (1) (f) of the GDPR, our legitimate interest lies in using these cookies to optimise our website and ensure that it works without any technical errors.

Statistics cookies

These cookies allow us to analyse how visitors use our website. This information is anonymised. For example, we record which links people click on and how long they stay on each of the pages on our website.

Legal basis: According to Art. 6 (1) (a) of the GDPR, we have the right to process your data provided that you have given your consent to the use of these cookies (for example via our cookie banner). You can revoke this consent at any time over the Cookie settings.

Marketing cookies

These cookies are used by third-party providers for the purpose of tracking visitors to our website. This enables us to show you relevant (advertising) content that will be of interest to you. This content is based on your past usage and surfing behaviour. Your activity can be tracked across different devices (mobile phone, tablet and PC).

Legal basis: According to Art. 6 (1) (a) of the GDPR, we have the right to process your data provided that you have given your consent to the use of these cookies (for example via our cookie banner). You can revoke this consent at any time over the Cookie settings.

You can use your browser settings to ensure that you are informed about any cookies placed on your computer, thus making the use of cookies transparent. You can delete cookies at any time in your browser settings and prevent the creation of new cookies. Please note that our websites may then not be optimally displayed and some features may no longer be available for technical reasons.

Google Analytics

This service is provided by: Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, a subsidiary of Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.

So that we can design our website to meet your requirements better, we create aliased usage profiles with Google Analytics, a web analytics service. Google Analytics uses cookies which are saved on your device and can be read. In this way we are able to recognise returning visitors and classify them as such.

Data processing is carried out on the basis of your consent as per Art. 6 (1) (a) of the GDPR (for example via our cookie banner) and in the interest of learning how frequently our websites are accessed by different users. You can revoke this consent at any time over the Cookie settings.

The data is processed on the basis of your consent as per Art. 6 (1) (a) of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) (for example via our cookie banner), provided that you have given your consent via our banners.

You may withdraw your consent to processing at any time. To do so, please use one of the following options:

1. You can prevent cookies from being saved by selecting the appropriate setting in your browser software. We would point out however that, in this case, you may not be able to fully use all features of this website. 

2.  In addition, you can prevent the collection of data generated by the cookie and related to the usage of the web site (including your IP address) by Google, and the processing of such data by Google, by downloading and installing the browser plug-in which is available at: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en. 

You can find out more about how user data is used by Google Analytics in Google’s privacy policy:

Demographics reporting via Google Analytics

This website uses the demographics reporting offered as part of Google Analytics. This feature can be used to generate reports on the age, gender and interests of site visitors. This data is generated on the basis of interest-related advertising from Google and visitor data supplied by third-party providers. This data cannot be associated with identifiable individuals. You can disable this function at any time by updating the ad settings in your Google account or prevent your data from being collected by Google Analytics in general as covered in the section on objecting to data collection.

Google retargeting

In order to offer advertising targeted to your interests where possible, even on other websites, we use retargeting technologies from Google in conjunction with cross-device features via Google Ads and Google DoubleClick. Data is processed on the basis of your consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) of the GDPR (for example via our cookie banner).

When you visit our websites and give your consent, recognition features of your browser or end device are accessed, your IP address is analysed or a recognition feature is saved on your device as a small text file (e.g. a so-called third-party cookie). Your user behaviour is recorded when you visit various websites. The features are stored with an alias. If you are logged in to your Google account these features may be directly linked to your profile. Google may link and save your visits to our websites to your features in order to show you targeted adver-tising on other websites. Similarly, Google can also detect your previous visits to our websites. Your device and browser are recognised by Google, for example when you access a page that shows advertising on behalf of Google.

Google Remarketing

We may tag our websites with keywords that contain statements about the content of the website, such as the products offered. Google receives these keywords which do not contain any personal or sensitive data. If you visit a page with specific keywords for products, this is saved by Google and linked to your aliased recognition features. Using this link, Google can recognise whether and, if applicable, which of our advertising you are shown.

Google Cross-device remarketing

Technically, Google can link the aliased features to your devices such as a tablet, smartphone and e-mail address (cross-device marketing). This requires you to have previously given Google your consent to this data processing. Google's targeted advertising campaigns can then be implemented across different devices.

Your data will be transferred to Google and saved in the USA. Google will use all of the information strictly for the specific purpose of evaluating the use of our website for us and compiling reports about website activities only.

Right to revoke consent

You can revoke your consent to cross-device remarketing/targeting at any time in accordance with Art. 21 of the GDPR. To do so, you will need to disable personalised ads in your Google account via the following link:
https://www.google.com/settings/ads/onweb/

Google Ads and Google conversion tracking

This website uses Google Ads. Ads is an online advertising platform provided by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.

Conversion tracking is used as part of Google Ads. If you click on an ad displayed by Google, a conversion tracking cookie will be activated. These cookies are only valid for seven days and cannot be used to personally identify visitors to our website. If you visit certain pages of this website whilst the cookie is still valid, we and Google can see that you have clicked on an ad and been forwarded to the page in question.

Each Google Ads customer receives a different cookie. Cookies cannot be tracked via the websites of Ads customers. Information gleaned using conversion cookies can be used to generate conversion statistics for Ads customers that have opted into conversion tracking. Ads customers can find out the total number of users that have clicked on their advert and been forwarded to a page with a conversion tracking tag. They do not, however, receive any details that can be used to personally identify visitors. If you want to opt out of this tracking, you can object to this use by disabling the Google conversion tracking cookie via the user settings for your internet browser. If you do this, you will not be included as part of conversion tracking statistics.

Conversion cookies are stored on the basis of your consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) of the GDPR (for example via our cookie banner). As the website operator, we have a legitimate interest in analysing user behaviour for the purpose of optimising our website and our advertising.

You can read more about Google Ads and Google conversion tracking in Google’s privacy policy:
https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en

You can use your browser settings to ensure that you are informed about any cookies placed on your computer. You also have the option of only accepting cookies on a case-by-case basis or not accepting cookies at all or in certain cases. Another option is to update your settings so that cookies are automatically deleted whenever you close your browser. Remember that disabling cookies may impact negatively on the functionality of this website.

In all of the cases mentioned, this data processing is carried out by Google on the basis of your consent as per Art. 6 (1) 1. (a) of the GDPR, provided that you have given your consent through our banners.

Google reCAPTCHA

This service is provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

Google reCAPTCHA is used to determine whether data is being entered on our websites (e.g. in a contact form) by a person or automated software. reCAPTCHA analyses a website visitor’s behaviour on the basis of certain criteria for this purpose. This analysis begins automatically as soon as that person first visits the website. reCAPTCHA analyses various pieces of information (such as the IP address, the amount of time the user spends on the website and the way in which the user moves the mouse). All the data collected as part of this analysis process is forwarded to Google. reCAPTCHA analyses are only ever performed in the background, so visitors to the website are never aware that they are happening.

According to Art. 6 (1) (a) of the GDPR, we have the right to process your data provided that you have given your consent to the use of cookies (for example via our cookie banner). You can revoke this consent at any time over the Cookie settings. We use reCAPTCHA to protect our websites against spam, abuse and automated spying.

Google web fonts

This service is provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

We use web fonts on our web pages to ensure that fonts are displayed consistently across different devices and platforms. These web fonts are integrated by accessing a server at Google Fonts, a service provided by Google Inc. (“Google”). The Google server is generally located in the USA. When the server is accessed in this way, information about which of our web pages you have visited is transmitted. The IP address of the device being used to visit our website is also stored by Google.

The legal basis for this data processing is our overriding legitimate interest in optimum marketing via our website in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (f) of the GDPR.

https://fonts.google.com/about#
https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en

Social media plug-ins

For data protection reasons we do not integrate any social plug-ins directly into our websites. If you access our websites your data will therefore not be transmitted to social media services such as Facebook, Twitter, XING or Google+. This also prevents third parties from building a profile.

Nevertheless you can still share selected web pages by clicking the Facebook, Twitter, XING and Google+ buttons. For this, we use the so-called Shariff solution developed by c’t magazine to offer an alternative to classic social plug-ins which complies with data protection law.

The developer of Shariff is GitHub, Inc., 88 Colin P. Kelly Junior Street, San Francisco, CA 94107, USA.

Please note that the use of third-party content and functions can lead to your data being processed outside of the EU or EEA. In some countries this means there is a risk that the authorities may access the data for security and monitoring purposes without informing you of this and without you having a right to lodge an appeal. If we use providers in insecure third countries and you grant your consent, then data will be transmitted to an insecure third country based on Art. 49 (1) (a) of the GDPR.  

You can find out more and read the up-to-date GitHub privacy policy here:
https://help.github.com/articles/github-privacy-policy/

How does this work? The Shariff solution means that, initially, all data and functions that would be required to show Facebook, Twitter, XING and Google+ buttons are provided by our web server. Data is only transferred to the operator of the respective social media service when you decide to share content via the corresponding button and click on it. 

Embedded YouTube videos

The provider is YouTube LLC, 901 Cherry Ave., San Bruno, CA 94066, USA, represented by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

On some subpages, we have embedded YouTube videos in “extended data protection mode” that are not stored on our servers. When you access these pages, a connection is established with YouTube and the DoubleClick network. Clicking on a video then triggers additional data processing operations which are beyond our control however. If you are logged into YouTube, YouTube will be able to link this activity to your user account.

The embedding occurs on the basis of your consent as per Art. 6 (1) 1. (a) of the GDPR, provided that you have given your consent by clicking the preview image. 

According to Art. 6 (1) (a) of the GDPR, we have the right to process your data provided that you have given your consent to the use of cookies (for example via our cookie banner). You can revoke this consent at any time over the Cookie settings. 

Please note that the embedding of many videos leads to your data being processed outside of the EU or EEA. In some countries this means there is a risk that the authorities may access the data for security and monitoring purposes without informing you of this and without you having a right to lodge an appeal. If we use providers in insecure third countries and you grant your consent, then data will be transmitted to an insecure third country based on Art. 49 (1) (a) of the GDPR.

RM-GW-ETH remote maintenance gateway

Legal basis for processing personal data

Insofar as we obtain consent from the data subject to process personal data, art. 6 (1) (a) of the EU's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) shall serve as the legal basis. When personal data is processed that is required for fulfilling a contract to which the data subject is a party, GDPR art. 6 (1) (b) shall serve as the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations required for carrying out pre-contractual measures.
Insofar as the processing of personal data is required to fulfil a legal obligation borne by our company, GDPR art. 6 (1) (c) shall serve as the legal basis. In the event that vital interests of the data subject or some other natural person necessitate the processing of personal data, GDPR art. 6 (1) (d) shall serve as the legal basis.
If the processing is required to protect a legitimate interest of our company or of a third party and the interests, basic rights and fundamental freedoms of the affected entity do not outweigh the first-mentioned interest, then GDPR art. 6 (1) (f) shall serve as the legal basis for this processing. For the remote maintenance gateway, the email address and one password (as a salted password hash) per person ("User") are stored and used for authentication in the system as well as in password resetting and email messages about device events, provided that is configured. Device events can be viewed by the User for a maximum of 2 years. Each User will be assigned to a company for the management of one or more devices; for this purpose, the company name, department, city, region/district/federal state and country will be stored.

Erasure of data and duration of storage

Personal data of the data subject is erased or blocked as soon as the purpose for storage no longer exists. Furthermore, storage is allowed if this is provided for by the European or national legislator in European Union legal orders, laws or other regulations to which the responsible entity is subject. Data is blocked or deleted even if a storage time prescribed by the specified standards expires, unless further storage of the data is required for a contract to be concluded or fulfilled.
