When you simply visit our websites without actively providing further information, so-called server log files are automatically recorded, such as your IP address, the web browser and operating system you use, the domain names of your internet service provider, and other details.
This serves the purposes of a smooth connection setup, the corresponding usability and the stability and security of the websites and is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. 1 S. 1 lit. f GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest in improving the stability and functionality of our websites.
Technical service providers responsible for the operation and maintenance of our websites may be recipients of this data, acting as processors on our behalf following Article 28 of the GDPR.
The data is generally deleted at the end of each session, as it is typically no longer necessary for the purposes mentioned above.
Our websites are hosted by the external service provider Hetzner Online GmbH, Industriestr. 25, 91710 Gunzenhausen, Germany (provider). The personal data collected during use is stored on the provider’s servers. This may include IP addresses, contact requests, meta and communication data, contract data, contact details, names, website accesses and other data generated via a website. The provider is used for the purpose of fulfilling the contract with our potential and existing customers (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR) and in the interest of a secure, fast and efficient provision of our online offer by a professional provider (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR). Our provider will only process your data to the extent necessary to fulfill its performance obligations and will follow our instructions with regard to this data. In order to ensure data protection-compliant processing, we have concluded an order processing contract with our provider.
We use the cookie plugin CookieYes GDPR Cookie Consent. This processes the date and time of the visit, browser information, consent information, device information and the IP address of the requesting device. The legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR (legitimate interest). Obtaining and managing legally required consents is to be regarded as a legitimate interest within the meaning of the aforementioned provision. Consents and revocations are stored for a period of one week.
On our website you will find forms for individual communication (e.g. to contact us, request a callback). If you make use of these forms, the data entered in the input mask will be transmitted to us and stored. This data typically includes names, addresses, e-mail addresses, telephone numbers and any other information you provide to us.
The legal basis for the processing of data transmitted to us via the contact form is generally Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR, as the purpose pursued and our legitimate interest is to simply contact you and process your request.
Insofar as the contact is aimed at the conclusion of a contract, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR (“pre-contractual measure”) is the legal basis for the processing.
The recipients of your data are the service providers we have integrated in compliance with data protection regulations. On the one hand, our websites are maintained by such service providers; on the other hand, service providers may receive your data if this is necessary to fulfill their respective services.
The data will be deleted no later than 6 months after the matter in question has been conclusively clarified. If there is a contractual relationship, the statutory retention periods apply, according to which your data will be deleted after 6 or 10 years.
If you contact us by e-mail or telephone, we will store and process your inquiry, including all personal data (name, inquiry), for the purpose of processing your request. We will not pass on this data without your consent.
This data is processed on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR, if your request is related to the performance of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective processing of the inquiries addressed to us (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR).
The data sent will remain with us until you ask us to delete it or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies (e.g. after your request has been processed). Mandatory statutory provisions – in particular statutory retention periods – remain unaffected.
For communication with our customers, we use various online conference tools. When you communicate with us via video conference, we and the conference tool provider collect and process your data.
The conference tools collect all data you provide/use to access the tools (email address and/or telephone number). Furthermore, the conference tools process the duration of the conference, start and end times (timestamps) of participation, number of participants, and other contextual information related to the communication process (metadata).
Additionally, the tool provider processes all technical data necessary for handling online communication. This includes, in particular, IP addresses, MAC addresses, device IDs, device type, operating system type and version, client version, camera type, microphone or speaker, and the type of connection.
If content is exchanged, uploaded, or otherwise shared within the tool, it is also stored on the servers of the tool providers. Such content includes, in particular, cloud recordings, chat/instant messages, voicemails, uploaded photos and videos, files, whiteboards, and other information shared during service use.
Please note that we do not have full control over the data processing operations of the tools used. Our options are primarily based on the respective provider’s company policy. For further information on data processing by the conference tools, please refer to the privacy policies of the respective tools listed below.
Conference tools are used to communicate with potential or existing contractual partners or to provide certain services to our customers (Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR). Furthermore, the use of the tools serves the general simplification and acceleration of communication with us or our company (legitimate interest within the meaning of Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR). If consent has been obtained, the respective tools are based on this consent, which can be revoked at any time with future effect.
The data directly collected by us through the conference tool will be deleted from our systems as soon as you request deletion, revoke your consent for storage, or when the purpose for data storage no longer exists. Stored cookies will remain on your device until you delete them. Mandatory statutory retention periods remain unaffected.
We do not have any influence on the storage period of your data stored by the operators of the conference tools for their purposes. For details, please directly consult the operators of the conference tools.
As a conference tool, we prefer to use Google Meet. Details on data processing can be found here: https://support.google.com/meet/answer/9852160?hl=de&ref_topic=10632347&sjid=5202277315647706539-EU&authuser=0
If personal data is transferred to the USA or servers of US-American companies in this context, we base this on the adequacy decision of the EU Commission regarding the EU-US Data Privacy Framework (PDF) as the legal basis.
If you subscribe to our e-mail newsletter, we will send you regular information about our offers. The only mandatory information for sending the newsletter is your e-mail address. The provision of further data is voluntary and is used to address you personally.
We use HubSpot (2nd Floor 30 North Wall Quay, Dublin 1, Ireland), with whom we have concluded a data processing agreement, to send newsletters. This enables us to organize the sending of newsletters and analyze newsletter campaigns. During the analysis, we can see, for example, whether a newsletter message has been opened and which links, if any, have been clicked on. We can also see whether certain predefined actions were carried out after opening/clicking (conversion rate). For example, we can see whether you have made a purchase or similar after clicking on the newsletter.
The service provider also enables us to subdivide (“cluster”) the newsletter recipients according to various categories. The newsletter recipients can be subdivided according to age, gender or place of residence, for example. In this way, the newsletters can be better adapted to the respective target groups.
The data processing is based on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO). You can revoke this consent at any time by unsubscribing directly on the website or by using the link included in each newsletter message.
The legality of the data processing carried out before the revocation remains unaffected.
The data you provide us with for the purpose of subscribing to the newsletter will be stored by us until you unsubscribe from the newsletter and deleted from the distribution list after you unsubscribe from the newsletter. Data stored by us for other purposes remains unaffected by this.
After you unsubscribe from the distribution list, your e-mail address will be stored in a so-called blacklist to prevent future mailings. The data from the blacklist will only be used for this purpose and will not be merged with other data. This serves both your interest and our interest in complying with the legal requirements when sending newsletters (legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR). Storage in the blacklist is not limited in time. You can object to the storage if your interests outweigh our legitimate interest.
If you have provided us with your e-mail address when purchasing goods or services, we reserve the right (provided you have not initially objected to this) to regularly send you offers for similar goods or services, such as those already purchased, from our range by e-mail, in particular in the form of a newsletter. In accordance with Section 7 (3) UWG, we do not need to obtain separate consent from you for this. Data processing is carried out on the basis of our legitimate interest in personalized direct advertising in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO. However, you can object to the corresponding use of your e-mail address at any time with effect for the future by sending us a brief message. Upon receipt of your objection, the use of your e-mail address for advertising purposes will cease immediately.
You must register to participate in our webinars and other events. We require the following data from you: First and last name, e-mail address, telephone number if applicable.
We need this data to send you access information and to identify you. We process this data based on Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR to fulfill our contractual obligation. We will also use your email address to send you materials related to the attended webinar.
When registering for the webinar, you have the option of consenting to the processing of your personal data on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR to consent to the sending of advertising. We will then use your e-mail address and your first and last name to send you advertising.
We use Microsoft Teams for webinars. We have concluded a data processing agreement with Microsoft Teams. In this agreement, the company assures that it will comply with the applicable data protection regulations.
If personal data is transferred to the USA or servers of US-American companies in this context, we base this on the adequacy decision of the EU Commission regarding the EU-US Data Privacy Framework (PDF) as the legal basis.
Your data will be automatically deleted after the webinar has ended. If you have consented to being contacted for advertising purposes, we will store your e-mail address and your first and last name until you withdraw your consent.
Unser Internetauftritt nutzt aus Sicherheitsgründen und zum Schutz der Übertragung vertraulicher Inhalte, die Sie an uns als Seitenbetreiber senden, eine SSL- bzw. TLS-Verschlüsselung. Eine verschlüsselte Verbindung erkennen Sie daran, dass die Adresszeile des Browsers von “http://” auf “https://” wechselt und an dem Schloss-Symbol in Ihrer Browserzeile. Wenn die SSL- bzw. TLS-Verschlüsselung aktiviert ist, können die Daten, die Sie an uns übermitteln, nicht von Dritten mitgelesen werden. Wir weisen gleichwohl darauf hin, dass die Datenübertragung im Internet (insbesondere bei der Kommunikation per E-Mail) Sicherheitslücken aufweisen kann.
We use so-called cookies when you use our website. These are small text files that are stored on your end device. Cookies cannot execute programs or transmit viruses to your end device.
Certain cookies, known as transient cookies, are automatically deleted when you log out or close the browser. Others, known as persistent cookies, are automatically deleted after a specified duration, which may vary depending on the cookie.
Certain cookies are necessary to make websites more user-friendly, effective, and easier to use. For example, some features of web pages require your browser to be identified even after a page change. It is also necessary to store the settings you have chosen regarding using technically unnecessary cookies.
The processing of cookies in this respect is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest in a user-friendly design of our website.
If necessary, such data may be disclosed to technical service providers who act as processors following Art. 28 of the GDPR for the operation and maintenance of our websites.
The storage duration is usually no longer than one year, counted from the last visit to the respective website.
Cookies also serve to better tailor our offer to your interests or to generally improve it on the basis of statistical evaluations. The legal basis for this processing is your consent, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO.
We use the Google Tag Manager. The provider is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.
Google Tag Manager is a tool that enables us to integrate tracking or statistical tools and other technologies on our website. The Google Tag Manager itself does not create any user profiles, does not store any cookies and does not carry out any independent analyses. It is only used to manage and display the tools integrated via it. However, Google Tag Manager records your IP address, which may also be transmitted to Google’s parent company in the United States.
The use of Google Tag Manager is based on your consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR and Section 25 (1) TDDDG, insofar as the consent includes the storage of cookies or access to information in the user’s end device (e.g. device fingerprinting) within the meaning of the TDDDG; the consent can be revoked at any time.
This website uses functions of the web analysis service Google Analytics. The provider is Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.
Google Analytics enables us to analyze the behavior of website visitors. We receive various usage data, such as page views, length of visit, operating systems used and origin of the user. This data is summarized in a user ID and assigned to the respective end device of the website visitor.
We can also use Google Analytics to record your mouse and scroll movements and clicks, among other things. Google Analytics also uses various modeling approaches to supplement the collected data records and uses machine learning technologies for data analysis.
Google Analytics uses technologies that enable the recognition of the user for the purpose of analyzing user behavior (e.g. cookies or device fingerprinting). The information collected by Google about the use of this website is generally transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there.
The use of this analysis tool is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR and Section 25 (1) TDDDG, insofar as the consent includes the storage of cookies or access to information in the user’s end device (e.g. device fingerprinting) within the meaning of the TDDDG; the consent can be revoked at any time.
The data transfer to the United States is based on the European Commission’s standard contractual clauses. Details can be found here: https://privacy.google.com/businesses/controllerterms/mccs/.
You can prevent the collection and processing of your data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en.
For more information on how Google Analytics handles user data, please refer to Google’s privacy policy: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245?hl=en.
We have entered into a data processing agreement with Google.
The website operator uses Google Ads. Google Ads is an online advertising program of Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.
Google Ads enables us to display advertisements in the Google search engine or on third-party websites when users enter specific search terms on Google (keyword targeting). Furthermore, targeted advertisements can be displayed based on user data available at Google (e. g., location data and interests) (audience targeting). As a website operator, we can quantitatively analyze this data by, for example, analyzing which search terms led to the display of our advertisements and how many clicks were generated.
The use of Google Ads is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR and Section 25 (1) TDDDG, insofar as the consent includes the storage of cookies or access to information in the user’s end device (e.g. device fingerprinting) within the meaning of the TDDDG; the consent can be revoked at any time.
The data transfer to the United States is based on the European Commission’s standard contractual clauses. Details can be found here: https://policies.google.com/privacy/frameworks?hl=en and https://privacy.google.com/businesses/controllerterms/mccs/.
This website uses the functions of Google Analytics Remarketing. The provider is Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.
Google Remarketing analyzes user behavior on our website (e. g., clicks on specific products) to categorize you into specific advertising target groups. Subsequently, when you visit other online offerings, Google Remarketing can display tailored advertising messages to you (remarketing or retargeting).
Furthermore, the advertising target groups created with Google Remarketing can be linked to Google’s cross-device functions. In this way, interest-based, personalized advertising messages that have been adapted to you depending on your previous usage and surfing behavior on one device (e.g. cell phone) can also be displayed on another of your devices (e.g. tablet or PC).
If you have a Google account, you can opt out of personalized advertising by following this link: https://www.google.com/settings/ads/onweb/.
The use of Google Remarketing is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR and Section 25 (1) TDDDG, insofar as the consent includes the storage of cookies or access to information in the user’s end device (e.g. device fingerprinting) within the meaning of the TDDDG; the consent can be revoked at any time.
For more information and Google’s privacy policy, please visit https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads?hl=en.
This website uses Google Conversion Tracking. The provider is Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.
With the help of Google Conversion Tracking, Google and we can determine whether users have performed certain actions. For example, we can evaluate which buttons on our website are clicked most frequently and which products are viewed or purchased most frequently. This information is used to create conversion statistics. We learn the total number of users who clicked on our ads and which actions they took. We do not receive any information that personally identifies users. Google uses cookies or similar recognition technologies for identification purposes.
The use of Google Conversion Tracking is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR; consent can be revoked at any time.
For more information about Google Conversion Tracking, please refer to Google’s privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en.
If personal data is transferred to the USA or servers of US-American companies in this context, we base this on the adequacy decision of the EU Commission regarding the EU-US Data Privacy Framework (DPF) as the legal basis.
On our website, we use Google reCAPTCHA, provided by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (“Google”).
This is intended to check whether the data entry, e.g. in a contact form, is made by a human or by an automated program. For this purpose, reCAPTCHA analyzes the behavior of the website visitor based on various characteristics. This analysis begins automatically as soon as the website visitor enters the website. For the analysis, reCAPTCHA evaluates various information (e.g. IP address, time spent on the website by the website visitor or mouse movements made by the user). The data collected during the analysis is forwarded to Google.
The data processing is based on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO). Furthermore, we have a legitimate interest in protecting our website from abusive automated spying and from spam (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO).
For further information about Google reCAPTCHA and Google’s privacy policy, please refer to the following links: https://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy/.
If personal data is transferred to the USA or servers of US-American companies in this context, we base this on the adequacy decision of the EU Commission regarding the EU-US Data Privacy Framework (DPF) as the legal basis.
Our pages use so-called web fonts from Google for the uniform display of fonts. When you call up a page, your browser loads the required web fonts into your browser cache in order to display texts and fonts correctly. To prevent personal data from being transmitted to Google’s servers in the USA, we have integrated Google Fonts locally.
On this website, elements of social media are used. You can usually recognize them by their respective logos. We only use these elements to ensure data privacy in conjunction with the so-called “Shariff” solution. This application prevents the integrated social media elements from transferring your data to the respective provider’s server upon the first visit to the page. Only when you activate the respective social media element by clicking the associated button is a direct connection to the provider’s server established (consent). Once you activate the social media element, the provider receives information that you have visited our website with your IP address. If you are simultaneously logged into your social media account (e. g., Facebook), the respective provider can associate the visit to this website with your user account.
Activating the plugin constitutes consent within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR and Section 25 (1) TDDDG. You can revoke this consent at any time with effect for the future.
The service is used to obtain the legally required consent for the use of certain technologies. The legal basis for this is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR.

Eine Übermittlung Ihrer persönlichen Daten an Dritte zu anderen als den vorstehend genannten Zwecken findet nicht statt. Wir geben – zusammenfassend – Ihre persönlichen Daten nur an Dritte weiter, wenn Sie hierzu nach Art. 6 Abs. 1 S. 1 lit. a DSGVO Ihre Einwilligung erteilt haben, dies nach Art. 6 Abs. 1 S. 1 lit. b DSGVO für die Abwicklung von Vertragsverhältnissen mit Ihnen erforderlich ist, dies zur Wahrung unserer berechtigten Interessen nach Art. 6 Abs. 1 S. 1 lit. f DSGVO (e.g. for the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims or in the context of advertising measures) and there is no reason to assume that you have an overriding interest worthy of protection in the non-disclosure of your data or if a legal obligation pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 S. 1 lit. c DSGVO zur Weitergabe besteht.
About the personal data concerning you, you have the following rights, which you can generally assert in any form (e. g., by emailing us at datenschutz@sequire.de or by sending a letter to our postal address, preferably with the subject line “Rights of the data subject”).
Every data subject has the right to information according to Art. 15 of the GDPR, the right to correction according to Art. 16 of the GDPR, the right to deletion according to Art. 17 of the GDPR, the right to restriction of processing according to Art. 18 of the GDPR, and the right to data portability according to Art. 20 of the GDPR.
According to §§ 34 and 35 of the BDSG, restrictions apply to the right to information and deletion.
Insofar as we base the processing of your personal data on a balancing of interests, you can object to the processing. As a rule, our legitimate interests consist in responding to inquiries, carrying out direct marketing measures, providing services and/or information intended for you, processing and transferring personal data for internal or administrative purposes, operating and managing our websites, providing technical support, preventing and detecting fraud and criminal offenses, and ensuring network and data security.
When exercising an objection, we ask you to state which of your interests outweigh ours in your opinion. Im Falle Ihres begründeten Widerspruchs werden wir entweder die Datenverarbeitung einstellen bzw. anpassen oder Ihnen unsere zwingenden schutzwürdigen Gründe aufzeigen, aufgrund derer wir die Verarbeitung fortführen.
If you object to processing our (interest-based) direct advertising, no further explanation of reasons is required from you; further processing will cease without delay.
You can withdraw your consent to the processing of personal data at any time. This also applies to the revocation of declarations of consent given to us before the General Data Protection Regulation came into force, i.e. before May 25, 2018. Please note that the revocation is only effective for the future. Processing that took place before the revocation is not affected.
Finally, you have the right to complain to a data protection supervisory authority about our processing of your personal data. The supervisory authority responsible for us is the Independent Data Protection Center Saarland, Fritz-Dobisch-Straße 12, 66111 Saarbrücken.
Following Article 32 of the GDPR, we implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risk, taking into account the state of the art, implementation costs, the nature, scope, context, and purposes of processing, as well as the likelihood and severity of the risk to the rights and freedoms of natural persons.
The measures include, in particular, safeguarding the confidentiality, integrity and availability of data by controlling physical access to the data, as well as the access, input, disclosure, safeguarding of availability and its separation. Furthermore, we have established procedures that ensure the exercise of data subject rights, the deletion of data and the response to data threats. Furthermore, we take the protection of personal data into account as early as the development and selection of hardware, software and procedures, in accordance with the principle of data protection through technology design and data protection-friendly default settings (Art. 25 GDPR).
We would like to caution that data transmission over the Internet, especially when communicating via email, may have security vulnerabilities.
To represent our companies and to directly communicate with you we use social media platforms of service providers such as LinkedIn, Instagram, etc. through which we maintain our web presence (e.g. regarding company and employee profiles).
If data is collected on our website that both the provider and we process and use for joint purposes (e.g. in the context of analysis or advertising), the operator and we are jointly responsible. It is often not possible for us to deactivate this function. You can therefore contact both the respective provider and us with your request. We currently use the following providers:
LinkedIn (inklusive LinkedIn Sales Navigator) der LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company, Wilton Plaza, Wilton Place, Dublin 2, Irland;
Facebook (inklusive Facebook Business Manager) der Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Irland;

You can visit our website without providing any personal data. If you only use our website for information purposes, i.e. if you do not register or otherwise provide us with information about yourself, we do not process any personal data, with the exception of the data that the operator collects and transmits to us within the scope of the cookies it uses.
For the purpose of analyzing and tracking the use of its social media platform and our website, the provider uses cookies that enable an evaluation of your surfing behavior. This allows us to improve the quality of the platform and our website and their content. We learn how the platform and the website are used and can thus constantly optimize our offer.
However, we have no influence on the data collected and data processing procedures, nor are we aware of the full extent of the data collection, the exact purposes of the processing or the storage periods. We also have no information on the deletion of the data collected by the platform operator.
Web analysis is the collection, compilation and evaluation of data about the behavior of visitors to websites. Among other things, a web analysis service collects data about the website from which a data subject came to a website (so-called referrer), which subpages of the website were accessed or how often and for how long a subpage was viewed. Web analysis is regularly used to optimize a website and for the cost-benefit analysis of Internet advertising. It may also happen that the information obtained as part of the analysis and tracking of our website is merged with your other data collected when you use the website and the platform. If you register on the platform, the operator may link data relating to your platform activities with your personal details (e.g. name/email address) on the basis of your consent, thus collecting personal data and informing you individually and in a targeted manner about your preferred topics, among other things.
We can only influence the statistics provided to us by the platform operator to a limited extent and cannot switch them off. However, we make sure that no additional optional statistics are made available to us.
We process your personal data on the legal basis of your consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR, which you provided to the provider when registering for the respective social media platform.
In addition to the purely informational use of our website, you can also actively use our website to contact us. In addition to the processing of your personal data described above in the case of purely informational use, we will then also process other personal data from you that we require, for example, to process your inquiry. This also applies in the event that we actively use the website, e.g. to contact you on your own initiative or to initiate business contacts with you.
a) Sharing, publishing, interacting with posts, reviews, photos, etc.
You can comment on, share, or otherwise interact with (like, recommend, review, etc.) posts, photos, videos, etc. created by us on the provider’s platform and on our website. We may share your content on our website if this is a feature of the operator’s platform and communicate with you via the platform. Public messages, etc. may be published by the operator, but will not be used or processed by us for any other purpose at any time.
In the case of reviews, we may publish a response (e.g. to clarify a problem, goodwill actions, etc.) to your message and ask you to contact us again. The personal data you voluntarily publish in the review may be processed in the process. Otherwise, we only reserve the right to delete content if this should be necessary.
We process your personal data to protect our legitimate interests in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 S. 1 lit. f DSGVO. Data processing is carried out in the interest of our public relations work and communication.
b) User inquiries
In order to process your inquiries to us, e.g. via contact forms, a chat or our e-mail address, to answer them specifically and to provide you with the requested information, we process the personal data provided by you in this context. This includes your contact details to send you a response or ask necessary follow-up questions and any other information you transmit to us in this regard.
If you send us an inquiry via the platform, we may also refer you to other, secure communication channels that guarantee confidentiality, depending on the required response. You always have the option of sending us confidential inquiries to the address given in our legal notice or in this privacy policy. We may contact you electronically, by telephone or by post, depending on the subject of the inquiry and the necessity.
We process your data to respond to user inquiries, request materials, etc., based on the following legal grounds:
to protect our legitimate interests pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 S. 1 lit. f GDPR; our legitimate interest lies in the appropriate response to and execution of customer inquiries; if the inquiry is aimed at the conclusion of a contract, the additional legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR; with your consent in the context of using the live chat, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO.
c) Active usage of social media
We also actively use our presence on business-oriented platforms such as LinkedIn and associated tools such as the LinkedIn Sales Navigator to approach, communicate or initiate business contacts with you and to receive your application.
For this purpose, we process the data provided to us by the respective platform. In particular, this may include your name, your employer, your position with your employer, your education and other contacts on the respective platform. Depending on the type of contact with you, further data, such as the specific business relationship or the content of the communication with you, may be processed by us.
