• Browser type / Browser version
• Deployed operating system

Among other things, tools from companies based in the USA are integrated on the Internet pages (e.g. HubSpot– see below for more companies and information). If these tools are active, personal data (e.g. your IP address) may be transferred to the US servers of the respective companies, which is associated with corresponding risks, e.g. data access for control and monitoring purposes by US authorities. With your consent, you also agree to the processing of your data in the USA.

c)  HubSpot

Our website uses HubSpot, a marketing automation platform provided by HubSpot, Inc.

d)  Google Analytics 4

We use Google Analytics 4 on our website on the basis of your consent pursuant to Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. a GDPR, a web analytics service provided by "Google". Google is a group of companies consisting of Google Ireland Ltd, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland and Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA and other affiliated companies of Google LLC. We have concluded an order processing contract with Google.

We use Google Analytics to measure and analyse the use of our website via pseudonymised usage profiles. The usage profiles do not contain their name, address or email address, but only a pseudonymised user identification number that is assigned to their end device (such as a PC, laptop or smartphone). To identify the end devices, Google Analytics 4 uses, among other things, cookies, i.e. data records that are stored on your computer and saved by your browser.

These pseudonymised usage profiles enable us to collect analytical information about users and their behaviour, such as

• which contents users call up within individual or several usage processes;
• when and for how long users use the offers on our website;
• which search terms users use;
• how users interact with the offers on our website and
• technical information on the end device and browser (such as browser type, browser version, operating system used, etc.).

The IP address itself is not logged but is shortened by the last two digits for processing. Via the shortened IP address, Google Analytics collects 4 geographical location data on the following metadata of the user or the end device: city, latitude and longitude of the city, continent, country, region and subcontinent.

On our behalf, Google will use the information collected to analyse your usage for us, compile reports on website activity and derive forecasts from existing data. In this way, we can better understand your user behaviour and better adapt our web offers (Google Ads Remarketing) to your needs.

Google receives and processes all user data via domains and servers within the EU. The shortening of the IP address of EU citizens also takes place on servers within the EU.

The data is deleted after 14 months. It is not excluded that Google also uses the data for its own purposes, such as profiling, and links it to other data, such as Google accounts.

If you have not consented to the use of Google Analytics, we do not use Google Analytics. You can revoke your consent at any time in the cookie banner with effect for the future.

You can also prevent the storage of cookies by setting your browser accordingly. In addition, you can prevent the collection of data generated by the cookie and related to your use of our websites to Google as well as the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser add-on available under the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en

e)  Google Tag Manager

We use the Google Tag Manager from Google. Google Tag Manager is an auxiliary service and processes personal data itself only for technically necessary purposes. The tool ensures that other components are loaded, which in turn may collect data. Google Tag Manager does not access this data.
Further information on Google Tag Manager can be found in Google's privacy policy.
Please note that American Secret Services could possibly gain access to personal data due to American laws, which are inevitably exchanged with Google due to the Internet Protocol when integrating this tool.
