Privacy Policy

We are pleased about your visit to our website and your interest in our company and products. We respect your privacy and ensure the protection of your personal data by processing it in accordance with this privacy policy and the applicable data protection laws.

You may use our website without disclosing your identity. To display the website, only the data transmitted by your browser to our server (see “Log Files”) is required. Any further personal data is only stored if you voluntarily provide it on the website, for example by using our contact form or registering for our Techletter.

 

Techletter and Contact

By subscribing to our electronic Techletter, you consent to the storage of your name and email address for the purpose of sending the Techletter by email (Art. 6(1)(1)(a) GDPR). We use the service Brevo, provided by Brevo GmbH, Köpenicker Straße 126, 10179 Berlin, Germany (parent company Brevo SAS, Paris), to manage subscribers and send the Techletter. Your registration data (salutation, first and last name, email address, optionally industry) is stored on Brevo servers in the European Union. Brevo records whether and when a Techletter is opened and which links are clicked; we use this to improve our content. A data processing agreement under Art. 28 GDPR is in place with Brevo. No further disclosure to third parties takes place. You may revoke your consent to receive the Techletter at any time with future effect (see the information in the Techletter itself).

You may enter personal data on our website to contact us. Only fields marked with an asterisk (*) are mandatory. Providing additional data is optional but may facilitate the processing of your inquiry. Your data will be processed and stored solely for the purpose of handling your inquiry with your explicit consent (Art. 6(1)(1)(a) GDPR). It will not be used for other purposes or shared with third parties unless you explicitly agree to this.

 

Online Applications

You may apply to us via postal mail, email, or directly through our website. Fields marked with an asterisk (*) are mandatory. Additional personal information may assist us in processing your application but is not required. The legal basis for processing is Art. 6(1)(1)(b) GDPR and §26(1) BDSG (initiation of an employment relationship). Optional data is processed based on your consent (Art. 6(1)(1)(a) GDPR).

You may send us your application documents (e.g., CV, certificates) by post in confidence. Please note that data transmitted over the Internet may not be fully confidential during electronic transmission. Your data will be treated confidentially and used solely for the purpose of processing your application. It will not be used for other purposes or shared with third parties unless you provide explicit consent.

If hired, your documents will be stored for the duration of your employment, in compliance with statutory retention periods. If your application is rejected, we will delete your documents within four months or return non-electronic documents to you.

 

Cookies

Cookies are small text files placed on your device by websites. They allow information to be transmitted to us or, where applicable, to third parties.

Transient cookies are automatically deleted when you close your browser. These include session cookies that store a session ID to recognize returning users. Session cookies are deleted upon logout or browser closure.

Persistent cookies are stored for a defined period, depending on the cookie. Unlike transient cookies, they are not deleted when the browser is closed. You may delete them at any time via your browser’s security settings.

Cookies strictly necessary to provide a service expressly requested by the user (“essential cookies”) are processed under our legitimate interest in operating the website (Art. 6(1)(1)(f) GDPR and §25(2) TDDDG). Details can be found in the cookie banner under “Essential”.

Any other storage of or access to information on your device occurs only with your consent (Art. 6(1)(1)(a) GDPR and §25(1) TDDDG). Further details on these cookies, including their type, purpose, duration, and recipients, are provided below in this Privacy Policy.

You may configure your browser to refuse cookies or to prompt before storing cookies. You can also withdraw your cookie consent at any time by deleting cookies via your browser settings. Please note that if all cookies are blocked, some website features may no longer be available.

 

Consent management (Borlabs Cookie)

We use the consent management tool “Borlabs Cookie” provided by Borlabs GmbH, Rübenkamp 32, 22305 Hamburg, Germany. Borlabs Cookie stores your decision on the use of cookies and similar technologies in the cookies “borlabs-cookie” and “borlabs-cookie-gcs” on your device (retention period 60 days). No personal data is transmitted to Borlabs; processing takes place solely on our website. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(1)(c) GDPR in conjunction with Section 25(2) No. 2 TDDDG, as we are legally obliged to obtain and document your consent. You can change or withdraw your selection at any time via the cookie icon in the bottom left corner of the browser window.

 

Social Media Presence

To provide up-to-date information and engage with clients, partners, and interested users, we maintain official social media pages on: LinkedIn, Instagram, and YouTube.

Data processing is carried out by the respective platform providers and may involve transfers outside the EU. We may receive aggregated usage statistics, but do not access individual personal data unless you actively interact with us.

The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Where consent is granted via opt-in actions (e.g., ticking a box), the legal basis is Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR. You may revoke your consent at any time with future effect.

To exercise your rights (access, rectification, deletion, portability, objection), please contact the platform provider directly. We will assist you upon request.

Cookies may be placed by these platforms. For purposes and legal bases, see “Cookies” above or refer to the privacy notices of each platform:

• LinkedIn: LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company, Wilton Place, Dublin 2, Ireland. Data processing details:https://legal.linkedin.com/pages-joint-controller-addendum and https://www.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy. For transfers to LinkedIn Corp (USA), the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework applies.

Log Files

Each time you access our site, we collect: your device’s IP address, browser request, request timestamp, status code, data volume transmitted, browser version, operating system, and referring URL. The IP address is stored only during your session and then either deleted or anonymized. Other data is stored temporarily.

We use this data to operate our website, detect and correct errors, assess performance, and make improvements (Art. 6(1)(1)(f) GDPR).

 

Hosting

Our website is hosted by Raidboxes GmbH, Hafenstraße 32, 48153 Münster, Germany. The data described under “Log Files” and the data entered in our forms are processed on this provider’s servers in Germany. A data processing agreement under Art. 28 GDPR is in place with Raidboxes. The legal basis is our legitimate interest in the secure and reliable operation of the website (Art. 6(1)(1)(f) GDPR).

 

Google Tag Manager

We use Google Tag Manager provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. Tag Manager is a technical tool we use to integrate and control services such as Google Ads conversion tracking on our website. Tag Manager itself does not set cookies and does not collect personal data; it only ensures that the integrated services are triggered in line with your consent. The Tag Manager script is served from our own server. The integrated services and their legal bases are described separately in this privacy policy. The legal basis for using Tag Manager is our legitimate interest in the secure and efficient management of the services used on our website (Art. 6(1)(1)(f) GDPR).

 

Google Ads conversion tracking and Google Consent Mode

We use Google Ads, an online advertising service of Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (“Google”), to promote our products through ads in Google Search, and the associated conversion tracking to measure the success of those ads.

With your consent (category “Marketing”): If you reach our website via a Google ad, Google stores cookies on your device (including “_gcl_aw” and “_gcl_au”, retention up to 90 days). In addition, we store the click ID passed on by Google in our own cookie (“mse_gclid”, 90 days). If you then take an action that is relevant to us (submitting the contact form, sending an inquiry from the configurator page, clicking our phone number), this is reported to Google together with the click ID. Google and we can thus see that a user clicked an ad and subsequently sent an inquiry. We only receive statistical reports from Google and cannot identify you from this data.

Enhanced conversions: With your consent, the email address you enter in the contact form is hashed using SHA-256 (converted into an irreversible string) before it is sent to Google. Google uses the hash solely to match the inquiry to a click on our ad and deletes it afterwards. Your email address is never sent to Google in plain text.

Reporting the status of an inquiry (offline conversions): To assess the quality of our ads, we report to Google the click ID and the subsequent progress of an inquiry that originated from an ad (for example: inquiry qualified, quote issued, order placed). Names, company, contact details or the content of the inquiry are not transmitted. This processing only takes place if you consented to the “Marketing” category when visiting our website.

The legal basis for the processing described above is your consent (Art. 6(1)(1)(a) GDPR, Section 25(1) TDDDG). You can withdraw your consent at any time with effect for the future via the cookie icon in the bottom left corner of the browser window.

Without your consent (Google Consent Mode): We use Google Consent Mode. If you do not give consent or decline the “Marketing” category, no cookies are set, no click ID is stored and no information is read from your device. In this case your browser only sends a cookieless signal to Google containing the consent status, the page visited, the time and technical browser details that are transmitted with every page request anyway. Google uses these signals solely in aggregated form to statistically estimate the number of inquiries; they do not allow you or your browser to be recognised. The legal basis is our legitimate interest in a data-minimising measurement of our advertising (Art. 6(1)(1)(f) GDPR). You may object to this processing at any time (see “Objection to Data Processing”).

Further information on data protection at Google: https://policies.google.com/privacy. Where data is transferred to Google LLC in the USA, this takes place on the basis of the EU Commission’s adequacy decision for the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework, under which Google is certified.

 

Cloudflare Turnstile (spam protection)

To protect our forms (contact form, technical inquiry form, job application form) against abusive submissions by automated programs, we use Cloudflare Turnstile provided by Cloudflare, Inc., 101 Townsend St., San Francisco, CA 94107, USA (represented in the EU by Cloudflare Germany GmbH, Rosental 7, 80331 Munich, Germany). Turnstile checks in the background, based on technical characteristics of the browser (for example IP address, browser information, interaction behaviour on the page), whether an entry originates from a human, and does not set cookies or persistent identifiers for this purpose. A result token is submitted with the form to our server and verified there with Cloudflare. The legal basis is our legitimate interest in protecting our website against abuse and spam (Art. 6(1)(1)(f) GDPR). Where data is transferred to Cloudflare in the USA, this takes place on the basis of the EU Commission’s adequacy decision for the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework, under which Cloudflare is certified. Further information: https://www.cloudflare.com/privacypolicy/.

 

Withdrawal of Consent

You may withdraw any previously given consent (e.g., via contact form) at any time with future effect. Cookie consent may be adjusted via the cookie icon in the bottom left corner of the browser window.

 

Objection to Data Processing

Where data processing is based on a balancing of interests (Art. 6(1)(1)(f) GDPR), you may object by stating reasons why your data should not be processed. We will assess your objection and either cease or justify continued processing.
You may object to the use of your data for advertising or analytics at any time.
Please send your objection to the contact details under “Controller”.
