IN our company and with your use of this website, various personal data will be collected. Personal information is any data with which you could be personally identified. Please note that data transmitted via the Internet (e.g. via email communication) may be subject to security breaches. Complete protection of your data from third-party access is not possible.

The following information provides a simple overview of what happens with your personal data when you visit this website. Personal data means all data with which you can be personally identified. Detailed information on the subject of data protection can be found in our Privacy Policy found below.

Data collection on our website

Server log files

The website provider automatically collects and stores information that your browser automatically transmits to us in so-called ‘server log files’. These include:

  • Browser type and browser version
  • Operating system used
  • Referrer URL
  • Host name of the accessing computer
  • Time of the server request
  • IP address

This data will not be combined with data from other sources. This data is recorded on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. The operator of the website has a legitimate interest in the technically error-free depiction and optimisation of its website, which requires server log files to be recorded.

Contact form

If you email us or use the contact form to send us enquiries, your information from the form, including the contact data provided by you on the form, will be stored by us to process the enquiry and deal with follow-up questions. We will not disclose such data without your consent. The data in the contact form is therefore processed solely on the basis of your consent (Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR).

Please use the email address link provided if you wish to email us your questions. The link accesses your email programme, and data input is carried within your jurisdiction. The data shall be processed on the basis of your consent (Article 6 (1) (a) GDPR).

You may revoke your consent at any time. An informal email sent to us making this request is sufficient. The data processing operations carried out before we receive your request may still be legally processed.

We will retain the data provided by you until you request us to erase the data, revoke your consent to storage or if the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g. after you enquiry has been fully processed). Any mandatory statutory provisions, especially those regarding mandatory data retention periods, remain unaffected by this provision.

Registration on this website

You can register for various events, seminars, webinars, etc. on our website. We use the data you provide only for the purpose of using the respective offer or service you have registered for. In some cases, you will be redirected to a third-party portal. The required mandatory information must be given in full. Otherwise, registration shall be rejected. To inform you of any important changes to the scope of our portfolio or in the event of technical modifications, we shall use the email address provided during the registration process to notify you.

We shall process the data provided during the registration process on the basis of your consent (Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR). You may revoke previously given consent at any time. An informal email sent to us making this request is sufficient. The data processed before we receive your request may still be legally processed. The data recorded during the registration process shall be stored by us as long as you are registered on this website. Subsequently, such data shall be deleted. This shall be without prejudice to mandatory statutory retention obligations.

Job board

Our job board advertises company job offers to which people can apply. Users are forwarded to a company’s applicant portal when they click on an advertised offer. No data is entered on our website.

A job offer is advertised in an input mask on our website. The advertisement requires at least a valid email address. Companies may also specify a contact person. This is carried out on the basis of your consent (Article 6 (1) (a) GDPR).

Newsletter

If you wish to subscribe to the newsletter offered on our website, we require a valid email address from you as well as information that allows us to verify that you are the owner of the specified email address and that you agree to receive this newsletter. No additional data is collected or is only collected on a voluntary basis. We only use this data to send the requested information and do not disclose it to third parties.

Any data provided in the newsletter subscription form shall only be processed based on your consent (Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR). You can revoke consent previously given to the storage of data, email address as well as their use for sending the newsletter at any time, for example, via the ‘unsubscribe’ link in the newsletter. The data processing operations carried out before we receive your request may still be legally processed.

We will store the data provided by you for the purpose of receiving the newsletter until you unsubscribe from the newsletter. It will then be erased when you unsubscribe. Data we have stored for other purposes (e.g. email addresses for the members area) remain unaffected.

Hosting and contract processing

This website is hosted by an external service provider (host). The personal data collected on this website is stored on the host’s servers. Such data may include, but is not limited to, IP addresses, contact requests, metadata and communications, contract information, contact information, names, web page access, and other data generated through a website. The host is used in the interest of secure, fast and efficient provision of our online services by a professional provider (Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR). Our host will only process your data to the extent necessary to fulfil its performance obligations and to follow our instructions with respect to such data. In order to guarantee processing in compliance with data protection regulations, we have concluded an order processing contract with our host.

SSL or TLS encryption

This site uses SSL or TLS encryption for security reasons, in particular for the protection of the transmission of confidential content, such as your personal data. You can recognise an encrypted connection in your browser’s address line when it changes from ‘http://’ to ‘https://’ and the lock icon is displayed in your browser’s address bar. If SSL or TLS encryption is enabled, the data you transfer to us cannot be read by third parties.

Cookies

Our website uses so-called ‘cookies’. Cookies are small text files that do not cause any damage to your end device. They are either stored temporarily for the duration of a session (session cookies) or they are permanently archived on your end device (permanent cookies). Session cookies are automatically deleted once you terminate your visit. Permanent cookies remain stored on your end device until you actively delete them or they are automatically deleted by your web browser.

In some cases, it is possible for third-party cookies to be stored on your end device once you access our site (third-party cookies). These cookies enable you or us to take advantage of certain services offered by the third party (e.g. cookies for the processing of webinars).

Cookies, which are required for the performance of electronic communication transactions or for the provision of certain functions you want to use, shall be stored on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. The operator of the website has a legitimate interest in the storage of cookies to ensure the technically error-free and optimised provision of its services. If your consent to the storage of the cookies has been requested (e.g. consent to save cookies), processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR; this consent may be revoked at any time.

You have the option to set up your browser in such a manner that you will be notified any time cookies are placed and to permit the acceptance of cookies only in specific cases. You may also exclude the acceptance of cookies in certain cases or in general or activate the delete function for the automatic deletion of cookies when the browser closes. If cookies are deactivated, the functions of this website may be limited. In the event that third-party cookies are used or if cookies are used for analytical purposes, we will separately notify you in conjunction with this Privacy Policy and, if applicable, ask for your consent.

Newsletter

On our website visitors can subscribe to a newsletter. Which personal data is transmitted to us when subscribing to the newsletter can be seen from the form used, the mandatory fields are marked. Further data is not collected or only on a voluntary basis. We use this data exclusively for sending the newsletter and for notices or invitations to cluster-relevant events. We do not pass on this data to third parties.

The processing of the data submitted in the newsletter registration form is based exclusively on your consent (Art. 6 (1) a DSGVO).

The legality of the data processing operations already carried out remains unaffected by the revocation.

The data you have provided us with for the purpose of receiving the newsletter will be stored by us until you unsubscribe from the newsletter and will be deleted after you have unsubscribed. Data that has been stored by us for other purposes (e.g. e-mail addresses for customer communication) remains unaffected by this.

Video conferences, online meetings, webinars and screen sharing

We use third-party platforms and applications to conduct video and audio conferences, webinars and other types of video and audio meetings. We observe all legal requirements when selecting third-party providers and their services.

As such, participant data is processed and stored on the servers of third-party providers if these are used as part of the communication processes with us. This data includes registration and contact details. However, visual and vocal contributions as well as entries in chats and shared screen content can also be included, depending on the purpose of communication and configuration of the services.

If you do not want to be seen and/or heard, participation is only possible without sound and image approval. You should not use the chat function either.

Third-party providers can process usage data and metadata for security purposes, service optimisation or marketing purposes. Please observe the privacy policies of respective third-party providers.

The legal basis for processing shall be their consent if we ask participants for their consent to use third-party providers or certain functions (e.g. consent to record conversations). Their use can also be part of our (pre)contractual services, provided that the use of third-party providers has been agreed in this context. Otherwise, user data shall be processed based on our legitimate interest in ensuring secure and efficient communication with our communication partners.

Analysis tools and advertising

Web analytics (also known as ‘reach measurement’) is used to evaluate the streams of visitors to our online offering and may include behaviour, interests or demographic information about visitors. With the help of the range analysis, we can, for example, identify at what time our online offering or its functions or content are most frequently used or invite reuse. We can also understand which areas require optimisation.

The servers used are in Germany.

You can prevent these cookies being stored by selecting the appropriate setting in your browser. However, we wish to point out that doing so may mean you will not be able to enjoy the full functionality of this website.

If you do not agree with the storage and use of your data, you can disable this feature here. In this case, an opt-out cookie will be stored in your browser to prevent Matomo from storing your usage data. If you delete your cookies, this will mean that the opt-out cookie will also be deleted.

Your rights as the data subject

As far as your personal data is processed during the visit to our website, you have the following rights as the ‘data subject’ within the meaning of the GDPR:

Information

You can request information from us as to whether we will process your personal data. The right to information is excluded if the data is only stored because it may not be deleted due to legal or statutory retention periods or serves exclusively purposes of data backup or data protection control, provided that the provision of information would require a disproportionately high effort and processing for other purposes by appropriate technical and organisational measures is excluded. If in your case the right to information is not excluded and your personal data is processed by us, you can request information from us about the following information:

  • purposes of processing,
  • categories of your personal data processed,
  • recipients or categories of recipients to whom your personal data are disclosed, in particular to recipients in third countries,
  • if possible, the planned duration for which your personal data will be stored or, if this is not possible, the criteria for determining the duration of retention,
  • the existence of a right of rectification, or of erasure, or of restriction of processing of your personal data, or of a right to object to such processing,
  • the existence of a right of lodge a complaint to a data protection supervisory authority,
  • if the personal data has not been collected from you as the data subject, the available information on the origin of the data,
  • where appropriate, the existence of automated decision-making, including profiling and meaningful information on the logic involved and the scope and intended impact of automated decision-making,
  • where appropriate, in the case of transfers to recipients in third countries, unless a decision of the EU Commission on the adequacy of the level of protection pursuant to Art. 45 (3) GDPR exists, information on which suitable guarantees are provided pursuant to Art. 46 (2) GDPR for the protection of personal data.

Rectification and completion

If you discover that we have incorrect personal data about you, you can demand that we correct this incorrect data without delay. If your personal data is incomplete, you may request that it be completed.

Erasure

You have the right to erasure (‘right to be forgotten’), unless the processing is necessary to exercise the right to freedom of expression, the right to information or to fulfil a legal obligation or to perform a task that is in the public interest and one of the following reasons applies:

  • The personal data is no longer necessary in relation to the purposes for which it was collected.
  • The justification for the processing was exclusively your consent, which you have withdrawn.
  • You have objected to the processing of your personal data which we have made public.
  • You have objected to the processing of personal data not made public by us and there are no overriding legitimate reasons for the processing.
  • Your personal data has been processed unlawfully

There is no right to erasure if, in the case of lawful non-automated data processing, the erasure is not possible or only possible with disproportionately high effort due to the special type of storage and your interest in the erasure is low. In this case, the restriction of processing takes the place of erasure.

Right to restriction of processing

You have the right to request we restrict the processing your personal data, if one of the following reasons applies:

  • You contest the accuracy of the personal data stored. You insist in restriction of processing your data during the period enabling us to verify the accuracy of your data.
  • Processing of your data is unlawful and instead of erasure you ask for the use of your personal data to be restricted.
  • Your personal data is no longer required for the purposes of processing, but you require it for the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims.

You have objected to processing pursuant to article 21 (1) GDPR. You can insist on restriction of processing for the time pending the verification whether our legitimate grounds override your legitimate grounds.

Restriction of processing means that we only process your personal data if we have your consent, or for assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims, or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person, or for reasons of important public interest. Before lifting the restriction of processing, we have a duty to inform you of such.

Data portability

You have the right to data portability in case processing is based on your consent (GDPR Art. 6 (1) (1) (a) or Art. 9 (2) (a) GDPR) or based on a contract to which you are a contracting party and the processing is carried out by automated means. In this case, the right to data portability includes the following rights, insofar as they do not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others: Right of data portability means that you have the right to receive personal data, which you previously provided to us, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. You have the right to transmit such data to another controller without hindrance from us. Where technically feasible, you may request that we transmit personal data directly to another controller.

Revocation of consent

You have the right to revoke previously given consent at any time with effect for the future. The revocation of consent can be communicated informally by telephone, by email or by postal mail. The revocation does not affect the legality of the data processing, which took place on the basis of the consent up until the point revocation was received. After receipt of the revocation, the data processing, which was based exclusively on your consent, will be discontinued.

Right to lodge a complaint

If you believe that the processing of your personal data is contrary to the law, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the data protection supervisory authority, which is responsible for your place of residence or work or with jurisdiction for the place of the alleged infringement. The responsible supervisory authority for data protection matters is the Hamburg Representative for Data Protection and Freedom of Information (https://datenschutz-hamburg.de/).

This Privacy Policy is dated 24 June 2020. We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to improve our privacy practices and/or to reflect changes in government practices or court rulings.

Objection

If processing is based on Art. 6 (1) (1) (e) GDPR (performance of a task carried out in the public interest or subject to the exercise of public authority) or on Art. 6 (1) (1) (f) GDPR (legitimate interests of the controller or of a third party), 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 Art. 6 (1) (1) (e) or (f) GDPR. After exercising the right of objection, we will no longer process your personal data unless we can prove compelling grounds for processing that outweigh your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves to assert, exercise or defend legal claims.

You may at any time object to the processing of your personal data for direct marketing purposes. This also applies to profiling in connection with such direct advertising. After exercising this right of objection, we will no longer use the personal data concerned for direct marketing purposes.

You have the option of informing our company of your objection by telephone, email or by postal mail. Our contact details are provided here.
