The following privacy policy is intended to inform you about the type, scope, and purpose of the processing of personal data (hereinafter referred to as "data") within our online services and the associated websites and functions (hereinafter collectively referred to as "online services"). With regard to the terms used in our privacy policy, such as "processing" or "controller", we refer to the definitions in the General Data Protection Regulation (see Art. 4 GDPR). Furthermore, we would like to inform you about the rights you are entitled to.
The use of our websites is generally possible without providing any personal data. However, we would like to point out that the processing of personal data may become necessary if a data subject wishes to use certain services via our website.
As the controller for data processing, we have implemented numerous technical and organizational measures to ensure the most complete protection possible of personal data that may be processed via this website. Nevertheless, internet-based data transmissions can generally have security gaps, i.e., absolute protection cannot be guaranteed by us. For this reason, every data subject is free to transmit personal data to us by alternative means, for example, by telephone, if necessary.
The controller for data processing according to the GDPR and the new BDSG (Federal Data Protection Act) is:

The processing of personal data, such as the name, address, email address, or telephone number of a data subject, is carried out by us exclusively in accordance with the requirements of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and in compliance with the country-specific data protection provisions applicable to us in Germany.
According to the requirements of Art. 13 GDPR, we inform you about the legal basis of our data processing: The legal basis for obtaining consent is Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a and Art. 7 GDPR, the legal basis for processing to fulfill our contractual obligations and to respond to inquiries is Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b GDPR, the legal basis for processing to fulfill our legal obligations is Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. c GDPR, and the legal basis for processing to protect our legitimate interests is Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR. In the event that vital interests of the data subject or another natural person require the processing of personal data, Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. d GDPR serves as the legal basis.
We adhere to the principles of data avoidance and data economy. The personal data processed by us will be deleted or restricted in their processing according to the provisions of Art. 17 and 18 GDPR. Unless explicitly stated in this privacy policy, the data stored by us will be deleted as soon as they are no longer required for their intended purpose and the deletion does not conflict with any statutory retention obligations. If the data is not deleted because it is required for other and legally permissible purposes, their processing will be restricted. This means the data are blocked and not processed for other purposes. This applies, for example, to data that must be retained for commercial or tax reasons. According to legal requirements in Germany, storage is carried out in particular for 6 years according to § 257 Para. 1 HGB (German Commercial Code) and for 10 years according to § 147 Para. 1 AO (German Fiscal Code).
We only forward your personal data to third parties within the framework of the purpose of processing. Our employees and suppliers/partners are obligated by us to confidentiality and secrecy and by law to data secrecy.
For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, our site uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the change in the address line of the browser from "http://" to "https://" and by the lock symbol in your browser line. When SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data that you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.
We use hosting services to provide the following services: infrastructure and platform services, computing capacity, storage space, and database services, security services, and technical maintenance services that we use for the operation of this website. In this context, we, or our hosting provider, process inventory data, contact data, content data, contract data, usage data, meta and communication data of customers, prospects, and visitors of this online offer in order to pursue our legitimate interests in an efficient and secure provision of this offer according to Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f and Art. 28 GDPR.
Each time our website is accessed by a data subject or an automated system, our website collects a series of general data and information for the purpose of pursuing our legitimate interests according to Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR. This general data and information are stored in the server's log files. Collected are (1) the types and versions of browsers used, (2) the operating system used by the accessing system, (3) the referrer URL, (4) the sub-websites accessed via an accessing system on our website, (5) the date and time of access to the website, (6) the IP address, (7) the Internet service provider of the accessing system, (8) logs, status code, and data volume; (9) the directory protection user and (10) other similar data and information that serve to prevent dangers in the event of attacks on our IT systems.
IP addresses are stored anonymously. For this, the last three digits are removed. IPv6 addresses are also anonymized. Information on the directory protection user is anonymized after one day. Error logs, which log faulty page accesses, are deleted after seven days. In addition to the error messages, they contain the accessing IP address and, depending on the error, the accessed website. Accesses via FTP are logged anonymously and kept for 60 days. The mail logs for sending emails from the web environment are anonymized after one day and then kept for 60 days. In the process of anonymization, all data concerning the sender/recipient, etc. are removed. Only the data concerning the time of dispatch and information on how the email was processed remain (queue ID or not sent). Mail logs for sending via our mail servers are deleted after four weeks. The longer retention period is necessary for the functionality of the mail services and spam fighting. An individual determination of the storage duration is not possible.
Data required for further retention for evidential purposes are excluded from deletion until the incident is resolved.
In the use of this general data and information, no conclusions are drawn about the data subject. This information is needed to (1) deliver the contents of our website correctly, (2) optimize the content of our website and the advertising for it, (3) ensure the long-term functionality of our IT systems and the technology of our website, (4) to enable the response to contact inquiries and communication with users, and (5) to provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for criminal prosecution in the event of an attack. These anonymously collected data and information are therefore evaluated statistically by us with the aim of increasing data protection and data security, 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.
We also process the data of our customers in the context of our contractual services, which include conceptual and strategic consulting, lectures, seminars, etc.
In this context, we process inventory data, contact data, content data, contract data, payment data, usage and meta data. We generally do not process special categories of personal data. The circle of data subjects includes customers, prospects, and their customers, users, website visitors, employees, and third parties. The purpose of processing is the provision of contractual services, billing, and customer service based on Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b GDPR. We process data necessary for the establishment and fulfillment of contractual services and disclose the data only if necessary in the context of contract fulfillment. In processing the data provided to us in this context, we act according to the instructions of the client and the legal requirements of order processing according to Art. 28 GDPR. The data are processed for no other purposes than those specified in the contract. The data are deleted after the expiration of legal warranty or comparable obligations, whereby the necessity of the retention is reviewed every 3 years. If legal retention obligations exist, the data are accordingly blocked.
In the context of the organization of operations, internal administrative tasks, financial accounting, and the fulfillment of legal obligations, we generally process the same data that we also process in the context of providing our contractual services according to Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. c and f GDPR. Affected are customers, prospects, business partners, and website visitors. The purpose of the processing is administration, financial accounting, organization, archiving, maintenance of business activities, fulfillment of our tasks, and provision of the contractually owed services. In this process, we disclose data to the financial administration, tax advisors, auditors, fee offices, and payment service providers. In addition, based on our business economic interests, we store information on suppliers, event organizers, and other business partners. These company-related data are generally stored permanently.
We analyze the data available to us on business processes, contracts, inquiries, etc. to operate our company economically and to be able to recognize market trends and customer preferences. In this process, we process inventory data, communication data, contract data, payment data, usage data, meta data based on Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR. Affected persons are customers, prospects, business partners, visitors, and users of the online offer. The analyses are not disclosed externally, unless they are anonymous analyses with summarized values.
When contacting us (via contact form, email, telephone, or social media), the user's information
is processed for handling the contact request and its processing according to Art. 6 Para.1 lit.
b GDPR. The user's data can be stored in a CRM system or a comparable request organization. The
entered data are not disclosed without the consent of the data subject.
We delete the inquiries and data immediately if we are requested to do so, or if the data
subject revokes consent to storage or if the purpose for the storage no longer applies, i.e., if
they are no longer necessary. We review the necessity of retention every 2 years. Otherwise, the
general legal retention obligations apply.
If, in the course of our processing, we disclose data to other persons and companies (processors
or third parties), transmit them to them or otherwise grant them access to the data, this is
done only on the basis of legal permission (e.g., if a transfer of data to third parties, such
as to payment service providers, is necessary for contract fulfillment according to Art. 6 Para.
1 lit. b GDPR), if you have consented, if a legal obligation provides for this, or on the basis
of our legitimate interests (e.g., when using agents, web hosts, etc.).
If we commission third parties to process data on the basis of a so-called "order
processing contract," this is done on the basis of Art. 28 GDPR.
If we process data in a third country (i.e., outside the European Union (EU) or the European Economic Area (EEA)) or if this occurs in the context of using third-party services or disclosure, or transmission of data to third parties, this is done only if it is necessary for the fulfillment of our contractual obligations, based on your consent, due to a legal obligation, or on the basis of our legitimate interests. Subject to legal or contractual permissions, we process or let the data be processed in a third country only in the presence of the special conditions of Art. 44 et seq. GDPR. That is, the processing is carried out, e.g., on the basis of special guarantees, such as the officially recognized determination of a data protection level corresponding to the EU, or in compliance with officially recognized specific contractual obligations (so-called "standard contractual clauses").

Our website uses cookies. Cookies are text files that are stored and saved on a computer system via an Internet browser. Numerous websites and servers use cookies. Many cookies contain a so-called cookie ID. A cookie ID is a unique identifier of the cookie. It consists of a string through which Internet pages and servers can be assigned to the specific Internet browser in which the cookie was stored. This allows visited Internet pages and servers to distinguish the individual browser of the data subject from other Internet browsers that contain other cookies. A specific Internet browser can be recognized and identified via the unique cookie ID. By using cookies, we can provide more user-friendly services to the users of this website that would not be possible without setting cookies.
There are different types of cookies: "session cookies" or "transient cookies" are cookies that are deleted after a user leaves an online offer and closes their browser. Such a cookie can store, for example, the contents of a shopping cart in an online shop or a login status. "Permanent" or "persistent" cookies are those that remain stored even after the browser is closed. For example, the login status can be saved if users visit it after several days. Likewise, such a cookie can store the interests of users used for range measurement or marketing purposes.
Cookies necessary for the performance of the electronic communication process or for the provision of certain functions you desire are stored on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR.
You can prevent the setting of cookies by our website at any time by means of a corresponding setting of the Internet browser used by you and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Furthermore, already set cookies can be deleted at any time via an Internet browser or other software programs. If you deactivate the setting of cookies in the Internet browser you are using, not all functions of our website may be fully usable.
As long as you have given your consent, Google Analytics, a web analysis service of Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), is used on this website. The use includes the "Universal Analytics" operating mode. This allows data, sessions, and interactions across multiple devices to be attributed to a pseudonymous user ID, thus analyzing the activities of a user across devices.
Google Analytics uses so-called "cookies," text files that are stored on your computer and that enable an analysis of your use of the website. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. If IP anonymization is activated on this website, your IP address will be shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area before transmission. We would like to point out that Google Analytics has been extended with IP anonymization on this website to ensure anonymous collection of IP addresses (so-called IP masking). The IP address transmitted by your browser within the framework of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data. More information about terms of use and data protection can be found at https://www.google.com/analytics/terms/de.html or at https://policies.google.com/?hl=de.

We use "Google reCAPTCHA" (hereinafter "reCAPTCHA") on our websites. The provider is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (“Google”).
reCAPTCHA is used to check whether the data entry on our websites (e.g., in a contact form) is done 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 starts automatically as soon as the website visitor enters the website. For the analysis, reCAPTCHA evaluates various information (e.g., IP address, duration of the website visitor's stay on the website, or user mouse movements). The data collected during the analysis are forwarded to Google.
The reCAPTCHA analyses run entirely in the background. Website visitors are not advised that an analysis is taking place.
Data processing is based on Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in protecting its web offers from abusive automated snooping and from SPAM.

In pursuit of our legitimate interests according to Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR, we link on our website to content and service offers from third-party providers to integrate their content and services. This always assumes that the providers of these contents and services perceive the IP addresses of the users, as they could not send the content to their browsers without the IP address. The IP address is thus necessary for the presentation of these contents. Nevertheless, we strive to use only those contents whose respective providers use the IP address solely for the delivery of the contents. Third-party providers can also use so-called pixel tags (invisible graphics, also known as web beacons) for statistical or marketing purposes. Through the pixel tags, information such as visitor traffic on the pages of this website can be evaluated. The pseudonymized information may also be stored in cookies on the user's device and may include, among other things, technical information about the browser and operating system, referring URLs, visit time, and other data regarding the use of our online offer, as well as be linked with such information from other sources.
Our website uses the Google Maps API to visually display geographic information. When using Google Maps, Google also collects, processes, and uses data on the use of map functions by visitors. More information about data processing by Google can be found in Google's privacy policy. There you can also change your personal data protection settings in the privacy center. Detailed instructions on managing your own data in connection with Google products can be found here.
We also integrate the function for detecting bots "ReCaptcha" of the provider Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. The provider's privacy policy can be found here: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de.
