Our website uses a social media plug-in from LinkedIn. You can recognize the plug-in and its provider by the mark on the box above its initial letter or logo. We use the so-called two-click solution. When you visit our site, no personal data is initially passed on to the provider of the plug-ins or third parties. Only when you click on the marked field and thereby activate it, the plug-in provider receives the information that you have accessed the corresponding website of our online offer. In this case, the information collected when you visit our website is transmitted to the third-party provider. Since the plug-in provider collects the data via cookies, we recommend that you check the cookie settings via your browser's security settings and delete all cookies before clicking on the provider button.We would like to point out that, according to our information, the data transfer to the plug-in provider takes place regardless of whether you have an account with the plug-in provider and/or are logged in there. If you are logged in to the plug-in provider, your data collected by us will be directly assigned to your account with the plug-in provider. If you click the activated button and, for example, link to the page, the plug-in provider will also store this information in your user account and, if applicable, share it publicly with your contacts.

The data transfer to the plug-in provider takes place in order to simplify the use of the plug-in provider's websites. Through the plug-ins, we offer you the opportunity to interact with the social networks and other users, so that we can improve our offer and make it more interesting for you as a user.

Subject to legal or contractual permissions, personal data may only be processed in a third country if the special requirements of Art. 44 et seq. GDPR are met. Accordingly, data may be transferred if the European Commission has determined by way of a decision within the meaning of Art. 45 (1), (3) of the GDPR that an adequate level of data protection is provided in the third country concerned. The European Commission certifies third countries through such so-called adequacy decisions a level of data protection that is comparable to the recognized standard in the European Economic Area (a list of these countries and a copy of the adequacy decisions can be found here:

Insofar as data is transferred between the USA and the EU in exceptional cases, it should be noted that no such adequacy decision exists for the USA. Therefore, other suitable guarantees would have to exist in principle to ensure that data protection is sufficiently guaranteed in the USA. This would generally be possible via binding corporate regulations, standard contractual clauses of the European Commission for the protection of personal data, certificates or recognized codes of conduct.Although LinkedIn has submitted to corresponding standard contractual clauses of the European Commission, U.S. companies are nevertheless obligated to disclose personal data to security authorities without you as the affected party being able to take legal action against this. Therefore, it cannot be ruled out that US authorities (e.g. intelligence services) may process, evaluate and permanently store your data located on US servers for monitoring purposes. We have no influence on these processing activities. Furthermore, you may not be able to assert or enforce your rights to information against LinkedIn in the long term. Furthermore, the technical and organizational measures for the protection of personal data at LinkedIn may not fully meet the requirements of the GDPR in terms of quantity and quality.There is thus the possibility that the standard contractual clauses of the European Commission used by LinkedIn do not constitute sufficient guarantees within the meaning of Art. 46 (2) a) of the GDPR. By consenting to the collection of data by LinkedIn, you expressly agree to the data transfer presented here, whereby you have been informed above about the possible risks of such data transfers without the existence of an adequacy decision and without suitable guarantees. This consent can be revoked at any time. A revocation does not affect the lawfulness of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent until the revocation.

The legitimate basis is your explicit and voluntary consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 letter a) GDPR to the processing of your personal data for presentation and advertising purposes.

The cookies we use are stored on your computer and transmitted from it to our site. Therefore, you have control over the use of cookies. By changing the settings in your Internet browser, you can disable or restrict the transmission of cookies. Cookies that have already been stored can be deleted by you at any time. If you deactivate the use of cookies for our website or delete cookies that have been set, it may no longer be possible to use all the functions of the website in full.

We have no influence on the collected data and data processing operations, nor are we aware of the full scope of data collection, the purposes of processing, the storage periods. We also have no information on the deletion of the collected data by the plug-in provider. However, the plug-in provider may store the data collected about you as usage profiles and use them for purposes of advertising, market research and/or demand-oriented design of its website. Such an evaluation is carried out (also for users who are not logged in) for the display of tailored advertising and to inform other users of the social network about your activities on our website. You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles. To exercise this right, you must contact the respective plug-in provider. For more information on the purpose and scope of data collection and processing by the plug-in provider, please refer to the provider's privacy policy. There you will also find further information on your rights in this regard and setting options for protecting your privacy.

Although Google has submitted to corresponding standard contractual clauses of the European Commission, US companies are nevertheless obliged to hand over personal data to security authorities without you as the affected party being able to take legal action against this.

We have no influence on these processing activities. Furthermore, you may not be able to assert or enforce your rights to information against Google in the long term. Furthermore, the technical and organizational measures for the protection of personal data at Google may not fully meet the requirements of the GDPR in terms of quantity and quality.

There is thus the possibility that the standard contractual clauses of the European Commission used by Google do not constitute sufficient guarantees within the meaning of Art. 46 (2) a) of the GDPR.

By consenting to the collection of data by Google, you expressly agree to the data transfer set out here, whereby you have been informed above about the possible risks of such data transfers without the existence of an adequacy decision and without appropriate safeguards.

The legitimate basis is your explicit and voluntary consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. a) GDPR to the processing of your personal data for presentation and advertising purposes.
