What is personal data?

The legal basis for data protection can be found in particular in Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 April 2016 on the protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data, on the free movement of such data and repealing Directive 95/46/EC ("General Data Protection Regulation", DSGVO) as well as in the German Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG) and the German Telemedia Act (TMG).

We as well as our external service partners process your data for the purpose of providing the services, including providing hard- and software through such external service partners (such as DATEV). We process contact information, usage data or other information that you provide to us.

We process your personal data for the following purposes:

  • Communication in order to establish, implement and/or process a contractual relationship (also verbal) with you (legal basis: Art. 6 para. 1 p.1 lit. b. DSGVO or, in the case of applications for the purpose of establishing an employment relationship, Art. 88 para. 1 DSGVO in conjunction with. § 26 para. 1 BDSG);

You provide data to us if this is necessary for the stated purposes. Failure to provide the data may have legal disadvantages for you, such as the loss of legal positions, for example, no response to your request.

We process your personal data within the EU. As soon as your data is processed outside the EU, compliance with European data protection standards is ensured in each case and we will inform you accordingly.

Cookies

Our website sometimes uses so-called "technical" cookies for the user-friendly and technically flawless presentation of the page. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device and saved by your browser.

Most of the cookies we use are so-called "session cookies". They are automatically deleted after the end of your visit. The session cookies are used to assign successive page requests to the respective users who access our website at the same time. Other cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them. These cookies allow us to recognize your browser on your next visit.

OPPOSITION/OPT-OUT:

You can set your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies and only allow cookies in individual cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or generally and activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser.

If you send us an enquiry via the contact form on the website or an e-mail or contact us in any other way, the information you provide in your enquiry, including the contact details you enter there, name and e-mail address or any other data you provide, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the enquiry and in the event of follow-up questions.

Data processing on LinkedIn

We operate a page on the platform 'LinkedIn' (linkedin.com or mobile app).

In doing so, the data is processed by us and by LinkedIn, for which we have concluded the following agreement: https://legal.linkedin.com/dpa/DE

If you are a resident in the European Union (EU) and the European Economic Area (EEA) and Switzerland, the LinkedIn controller is LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company, based in Ireland.

LinkedIn as the provider of the platform assumes the data protection obligations towards you as the user, such as the information on data processing and is the contact for your rights. This follows from the fact that the respective provider has direct access to the relevant information and the processing of your data. However, you are also welcome to contact us if this should become necessary and we will then forward the request to LinkedIn if necessary. In this context, LinkedIn provides, among other things, the following online contact option for contacting their data protection officer: https://www.linkedin.com/help/linkedin/ask/TSO-DPO

When using LinkedIn, data may also be processed outside the EU. The LinkedIn Corporation and its US subsidiaries process data in the US and are each certified under the EU-US Privacy Shield agreement, thus guaranteeing compliance with a level of data protection equivalent to that in the EU (for more information see: https://www.privacyshield.gov). In many cases, LinkedIn continues to use standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission as a legal instrument for data transfers from the European Union.

With our LinkedIn page we can communicate with you and provide interesting information. In doing so, we may receive further data from you via your comments, shared images, messages and reactions, which we then process to respond to or communicate with you. If you use LinkedIn on multiple devices, a cross-device analysis of the data may take place. Furthermore, the LinkedIn provider may use cookies and tracking technologies to analyze and improve the service.

Data processing is carried out with your consent or for the purpose of using the LinkedIn offer (Art. 6 para. 1 p.1 lit. a., b. DSGVO) or on the basis of legitimate interests in improving the offer, advertising/marketing activities and external presentation (Art. 6 para. 1 p.1 lit. f. DSGVO).
