Notice Regarding Data Transfer to Unsafe Third Countries and to U.S. Companies Not Certified Under the DPF

We use tools from companies located in countries that do not guarantee a level of data protection comparable to the EU and U.S. tools whose providers are not certified under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (DPF). If these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to these countries and processed there. We point out that in countries without adequate data protection laws, there is no guarantee of data protection comparable to that in the EU.

The U.S. is generally regarded as a safe third country that ensures a level of data protection comparable to that in the EU. Data transfers to the U.S. are permissible if the recipient is certified under the “EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework” (DPF) or has suitable additional safeguards. You can find information on transfers to third countries, including data recipients, in this privacy policy.

Recipients of Personal Data

In the course of our business activities, we work with various external entities. It may be necessary to transmit personal data to these external entities. We only share personal data with external parties if it is necessary for contract fulfillment, if we are legally obligated to do so (e.g., transfer of data to tax authorities), if we have a legitimate interest in doing so according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR, or if another legal basis permits data sharing. When using processors, we only transfer personal data of our customers based on a valid contract for commissioned processing. In the case of joint processing, a contract for joint processing is concluded.

Revocation of Your Consent to Data Processing

Many data processing operations are only possible with your explicit consent. You can revoke an already granted consent at any time. The legality of the data processing carried out before the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

Right to Object to Data Collection in Special Cases and to Direct Advertising (Art. 21 GDPR)

IF DATA PROCESSING IS BASED ON ART. 6 PARA. 1 LIT. E OR F GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA AT ANY TIME FOR REASONS ARISING FROM YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING BASED ON THESE PROVISIONS. THE LEGAL BASIS FOR PROCESSING CAN BE FOUND IN THIS PRIVACY POLICY. IF YOU OBJECT, WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR AFFECTED PERSONAL DATA UNLESS WE CAN DEMONSTRATE COMPELLING LEGITIMATE GROUNDS FOR PROCESSING THAT OVERRIDE YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS, AND FREEDOMS, OR THE PROCESSING SERVES THE ASSERTION, EXERCISE, OR DEFENSE OF LEGAL CLAIMS (OBJECTION UNDER ART. 21 PARA. 1 GDPR).

IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA IS PROCESSED FOR DIRECT ADVERTISING PURPOSES, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA FOR SUCH ADVERTISING AT ANY TIME; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING INSOFAR AS IT IS ASSOCIATED WITH SUCH DIRECT ADVERTISING.

You have the right to request the restriction of processing of your personal data. You can contact us at any time regarding this. The right to restrict processing applies in the following cases:

If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data, we usually need time to verify this. During this verification period, you have the right to request the restriction of processing of your personal data.
If the processing of your personal data was/is unlawful, you can request the restriction of data processing instead of deletion.
If we no longer need your personal data but you require it for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims, you have the right to request the restriction of its processing instead of its deletion.
If you have objected under Art. 21(1) GDPR, a balance must be struck between your and our interests. Until it is determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to request the restriction of processing of your personal data.

If the processing of your personal data is restricted, this data may only be processed with your consent or for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims, or to protect the rights of another natural or legal person, or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or a member state.

Cookies can either be set by us (first-party cookies) or by third parties (third-party cookies). Third-party cookies enable certain third-party services (e.g., payment services) to be integrated into websites.

Cookies have various functions. Many cookies are technically necessary, as certain website features would not work without them (e.g., shopping cart functionality or video playback). Other cookies are used to analyze user behavior or for advertising purposes.

Cookies required to carry out the electronic communication process, provide certain requested functions (e.g., shopping cart function), or optimize the website (e.g., cookies for measuring web traffic) are stored based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR unless a different legal basis is specified. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing necessary cookies to ensure the proper and optimized provision of its services. If consent for the storage of cookies or similar technologies was requested, processing is based solely on this consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25(1) TTDSG); consent can be revoked at any time.

You can configure your browser to notify you about cookie usage, allow cookies only in individual cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general, and activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser.

5. Social Media
Social Media Elements with Shariff

This website uses elements from social media platforms (e.g., Facebook, X, Instagram, Pinterest, XING, LinkedIn, Tumblr).

You can generally recognize the social media elements by their respective logos. To ensure data protection on this website, we use these elements only in combination with the “Shariff” solution. This application prevents social media elements integrated on this website from transmitting your personal data to the respective provider when you first enter the page.

Only when you activate the respective social media element by clicking the associated button will a direct connection to the provider’s server be established (consent). Once you activate the social media element, the provider receives information that you have visited this website with your IP address. If you are simultaneously logged into your social media account (e.g., Facebook), the provider can associate your visit to this website with your user account.

Activating the plugin constitutes consent as defined by Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25(1) TTDPA. You can revoke this consent at any time with future effect.

The use of this service is to obtain the legally required consent for the use of certain technologies. The legal basis for this is Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR.

Our Social Media Presence

This privacy policy applies to the following social media profiles:
https://www.xing.com/profile/Nina_Buschmann/web_profiles
www.linkedin.com/in/nina-buschmann

Data Processing by Social Networks

We maintain publicly accessible profiles on social networks. You can find the specific social networks we use below.

Social networks like Facebook, Twitter, etc., typically conduct extensive analyses of your user behavior when you visit their websites or websites with integrated social media content (e.g., like buttons or advertising banners). Visiting our social media profiles can trigger several data protection-relevant processing operations, including:

If you are logged into your social media account and visit our social media presence, the operator of the social media platform can link this visit to your user account. In some cases, your personal data may also be collected even if you are not logged in or do not have an account with the respective social media platform. This data collection can occur via cookies stored on your device or by recording your IP address.
With the data collected, social media platform operators can create user profiles that contain your preferences and interests. This allows interest-based advertising to be displayed to you both on and off the social media platform. If you have an account with the respective social network, this interest-based advertising can be shown across all devices where you are logged in or have been logged in.

Please note that we cannot fully track all processing operations on social media platforms. Depending on the provider, additional processing operations may be carried out by the social media platform operators. For details, please refer to the terms of use and privacy policies of the respective social media platforms.

Legal Basis

Our social media presence is intended to ensure a comprehensive presence on the internet, which constitutes a legitimate interest as defined by Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The analysis processes initiated by social networks may rely on different legal bases, which must be indicated by the operators of the social networks (e.g., consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR).

Controller and Assertion of Rights

When you visit one of our social media profiles (e.g., LinkedIn), we are jointly responsible with the operator of the social media platform for the data processing triggered during that visit. You can assert your rights (access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, data portability, and complaints) both against us and against the operator of the respective social media platform (e.g., LinkedIn).

Please note that despite the joint responsibility with the social media platform operators, we do not have full control over the data processing operations carried out by the social media platforms. Our options are largely determined by the corporate policies of the respective provider.

Retention Period

The data directly collected by us through our social media presence will be deleted from our systems as soon as you request its deletion, withdraw your consent to storage, or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies. Cookies stored on your device will remain until you delete them. Mandatory legal provisions—especially retention periods—remain unaffected.

We have no control over the retention period of your data stored by social network operators for their own purposes. For details, please refer to the privacy policies of the respective social networks (see below).

Your Rights

You have the right to receive information about the origin, recipients, and purpose of your stored personal data at any time, free of charge. You also have the right to object, request data portability, and file a complaint with the competent supervisory authority. Furthermore, you can request the rectification, blocking, erasure, or, under certain circumstances, restriction of the processing of your personal data.
