7.4 Google Analytics

Our website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service provided by Google LLC,  1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (“Google”). Google Analytics uses cookies to analyse your use of the website. The information generated by the cookie regarding your use of this website is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA where it is stored.

We have activated IP anonymisation so that your IP address is truncated by Google within member states of the European Union or in other states party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area before it is transmitted to the USA. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and then truncated.

The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics is not merged with other data from Google. You can prohibit the storage of these cookies by adjusting your browser software settings accordingly. In this case, however, it is worth noting that you may not be able to use all functions of this website in full.

In addition, you can prevent Google from obtaining and processing the data generated by the cookie and the data related to your use of the website (including your IP address) by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available at the following link: tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout

Further information on terms of use and data protection can be found at www.google.com/analytics/terms/de.html  and policies.google.com/privacy.

You may revoke your consent to the use of Google Analytics at any time with future effect by adjusting your settings in the cookie banner.

7.5 Social networks

Our website uses social plugins from social networks. The social networks in question are LinkedIn and Xing. The plugins are marked with a logo.

When visiting a website that contains such a plugin, these plugins can establish direct connections with the social network and may transmit data. Communication occurs between the plugin, your browser or mobile device, and the social network. By integrating the plugins, the social networks receive the information that you have accessed the corresponding page of our website. If you are already logged into the social network, the social network is able to attribute the website visit to your account.

If you interact with the plugins by clicking the “Share” or “Follow Us” button, the corresponding information will be transmitted directly to the social network and stored there, according to the guidelines of the respective social network. The purpose and scope of this data collection, the further processing and use of the data by the social network, as well as your related rights and setting options for protecting your privacy can be found in the data protection notice of the respective social network.

If you do not wish for social networks to be informed about your visit to our website, you must first log out of the social networks before visiting our website or using the app.
 
7.6 Electronic mail (e-mail)

Information that you send to us via unencrypted email may be read by third parties during transmission. In general, we cannot verify your identity and do not know which individuals are behind a specific email address. It is therefore not possible to guarantee legally secure communication via email.
We use filters to prevent unwanted advertising (“spam filters”), which in rare cases may mistakenly classify ordinary emails as unwanted advertising and automatically delete them.
