Data privacy statement

1. Introduction

With the following information, we would like to give you, as the data subject, an overview of how we process your personal data and of your rights under data protection law. In principle, you can use our website without entering any personal data. However, if you wish to use special services of our company via our website, it may become necessary to process personal data. If the processing of personal data is required and there is no legal basis for such processing, we will generally obtain your consent.

The processing of personal data — for example your name, address or e-mail address — is carried out in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the country-specific data protection provisions applicable to Eitzenberger GmbH. By means of this Privacy Policy, we wish to inform you about the scope and purpose of the personal data we collect, use and process.

As the controller responsible for processing, we have implemented numerous technical and organizational measures to ensure the most complete protection possible of personal data processed via this website. Nevertheless, internet-based data transmissions can in principle have security gaps, so absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, you are free to transmit personal data to us by alternative means, for example by telephone or by post.

You too can take simple and easy-to-implement measures to protect yourself against unauthorized access by third parties to your data. Therefore, we would like to give you a few tips for handling your data securely:

Protect your account (login, user or customer account) and your IT system (computer, laptop, tablet or mobile device) with strong passwords.

Only you should have access to your passwords.

Make sure you always use your passwords for one account only (login, user or customer account).

Do not use one and the same password for different websites, applications or online services.

Especially when using publicly accessible or shared IT systems: always log out again after signing in to any website, application or online service.

Passwords should be at least 12 characters long and chosen so that they cannot be easily guessed. They should therefore not contain common everyday words, your own name or the names of relatives, but should include upper- and lower-case letters, numbers and special characters.

4. Definitions

This Privacy Policy is based on the terms used by the European legislator in the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Our aim is to make this Privacy Policy easy to read and understand both for the public and for our customers and business partners. To ensure this, we would like to explain the terms used in advance.

Among others, we use the following terms in this Privacy Policy:

1. Personal data

Personal data means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. An identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person.

2. Data subject

Betroffene Person ist jede identifizierte oder identifizierbare natürliche Person, deren personenbezogene Daten von dem für die Verarbeitung Verantwortlichen (unser Unternehmen) verarbeitet werden.

3. Processing

Processing is any operation or set of operations which is performed on personal data, whether or not by automated means, such as collection, recording, organization, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure or destruction.

4. Restriction of processing

Restriction of processing is the marking of stored personal data with the aim of limiting their processing in the future.

5. Profiling

Profiling means any form of automated processing of personal data consisting of the use of personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to analyze or predict aspects concerning that natural person’s performance at work, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behavior, location or movements.

6. Pseudonymization

Pseudonymization is the processing of personal data in such a manner that the personal data can no longer be attributed to a specific data subject without the use of additional information, provided that such additional information is kept separately and is subject to technical and organizational measures to ensure that the personal data are not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.

7. Processor

Auftragsverarbeiter ist eine natürliche oder juristische Person, Behörde, Einrichtung oder andere Stelle, die personenbezogene Daten im Auftrag des Verantwortlichen verarbeitet.

8. Recipient

A recipient is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or another body, to which the personal data are disclosed, whether a third party or not. However, public authorities which may receive personal data in the framework of a particular inquiry in accordance with Union or Member State law shall not be regarded as recipients.

9. Third party

A third party is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or body other than the data subject, controller, processor and persons who, under the direct authority of the controller or processor, are authorized to process personal data.

10. Consent

Consent is any freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous indication of the data subject’s wishes by which he or she, by a statement or by a clear affirmative action, signifies agreement to the processing of personal data relating to him or her.

5. Legal basis for processing

Art. 6 (1) a) GDPR (in conjunction with Sec. 25(1) TDDDG — formerly TTDSG) serves as the legal basis for processing operations for which we obtain consent for a specific purpose. If the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which you are a party — for example processing operations that are necessary for the delivery of goods or to provide another service or consideration — processing is based on Art. 6 (1) b) GDPR. The same applies to such processing operations which are necessary for carrying out pre-contractual measures, for instance in cases of inquiries about our products or services. Where our company is subject to a legal obligation that requires the processing of personal data, such as for the fulfillment of tax obligations, processing is based on Art. 6 (1) c) GDPR. In rare cases, processing of personal data may be necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or of another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor were injured on our premises and consequently his or her name, age, health insurance data or other vital information had to be passed on to a doctor, hospital or other third parties. Processing would then be based on Art. 6 (1) d) GDPR. Ultimately, processing operations could be based on Art. 6 (1) f) GDPR. This legal basis is used for processing operations which are not covered by any of the aforementioned legal bases, if processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by our company or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject. Such processing operations are particularly permitted because they have been specifically mentioned by the European legislator. He considered that a legitimate interest could be assumed if you are a customer of our company (Recital 47 sentence 2 GDPR).

6. Disclosure of data to third parties

Your personal data will not be transferred to third parties for purposes other than those listed below.

We will only disclose your personal data to third parties if:

1. you have given your express consent pursuant to Art. 6 (1) a) GDPR,

2. the disclosure is permissible under Art. 6 (1) f) GDPR to safeguard our legitimate interests and there is no reason to assume that you have an overriding legitimate interest in not having your data disclosed,

3. there is a legal obligation for disclosure pursuant to Art. (1) c) GDPR, and

4. it is lawful and necessary for the performance of a contract with you pursuant to Art. 6 (1) b) GDPR.

To protect your data and, where applicable, to enable data transfers to third countries (outside the EU/EEA), we have concluded data processing agreements based on the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses. If the Standard Contractual Clauses are not sufficient to ensure an adequate level of protection, your consent pursuant to Art. 49 (1) a) GDPR may serve as the legal basis for transfers to third countries. This does not apply to transfers to third countries for which the European Commission has issued an adequacy decision pursuant to Art. 45 GDPR.

Your personal data will not be transferred to third parties for purposes other than those listed below.

We will only disclose your personal data to third parties if:

1. you have given your express consent pursuant to Art. 6 (1) a) GDPR,

2. the disclosure is permissible under Art. 6 (1) f) GDPR to safeguard our legitimate interests and there is no reason to assume that you have an overriding legitimate interest in not having your data disclosed,

3. there is a legal obligation for disclosure pursuant to Art. (1) c) GDPR, and

4. it is lawful and necessary for the performance of a contract with you pursuant to Art. 6 (1) b) GDPR.

In the context of the processing operations described in this Privacy Policy, personal data may be transferred to the USA. Companies in the USA only have an adequate level of data protection if they are certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework so that the adequacy decision of the European Commission pursuant to Art. 45 GDPR applies. We have explicitly named this for the relevant service providers in this Privacy Policy. To protect your data in all other cases, we have concluded data processing agreements based on the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses. If the Standard Contractual Clauses are not sufficient to ensure an adequate level of protection, your consent pursuant to Art. 49 (1) a) GDPR may serve as the legal basis for transfers to third countries. This does not apply to transfers to third countries for which the European Commission has issued an adequacy decision pursuant to Art. 45 GDPR.

7. Technology

7.1 SSL/TLS encryption

To ensure the security of data processing and to protect the transmission of confidential content — such as orders, login data or contact inquiries you send to us as the operator — this site uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock symbol in your browser bar.

We use this technology to protect the data you transmit.

7.2 Data collection when visiting the website

When you use our website for informational purposes only, i.e., if you do not register or otherwise transmit information to us or do not give consent to processing requiring consent, we only collect data that is technically necessary for the provision of the service. These are regularly the data that your browser transmits to our server (“in so-called server log files”). Each time you or an automated system calls up a page on our website, our website collects a series of general data and information. These general data and information are stored in the server’s log files. The following can be recorded:

1. the types and versions of the browser used;

2. the operating system used by the accessing system;

3. the website from which an accessing system reaches our website (so-called referrer);

4. the subpages that are accessed on our website by an accessing system;

5. the date and time of access to the website;

6. an Internet Protocol address (IP address); and

7. the Internet service provider of the accessing system.

When using these general data and information, we do not draw any conclusions about your person. Rather, this information is needed to

1. deliver the contents of our website correctly;

2. optimize the contents of our website as well as the advertising for it;

3. ensure the long-term functionality of our IT systems and website technology; and

4. provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for prosecution in the event of a cyber attack.

These data and information collected are therefore evaluated by us on the one hand statistically and on the other with the aim of increasing data protection and data security in our company, in order ultimately to ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data we process. The data of the server log files are stored separately from all personal data provided by a data subject.

The legal basis for the data processing is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest follows from the purposes of data collection listed above.

7.3 Hosting by Strato

We host our website with Strato AG, Otto-Ostrowski-Straße 7, 10249 Berlin (“Strato”).

When you visit our website, your personal data (e.g., IP addresses in log files) are processed on Strato’s servers.

The use of Strato is based on Art. 6 para. (1) f) DS-GVO. Wir haben ein berechtigtes Interesse an einer möglichst zuverlässigen Darstellung und Bereitstellung sowie Absicherung unserer Website.

We have concluded a data processing agreement (DPA) pursuant to Art. 28 GDPR with Strato. This is a contract required by data protection law that ensures that Strato processes the personal data of our website visitors only in accordance with our instructions and in compliance with the GDPR.

Further information on Strato’s data protection provisions can be found at: https://www.strato.de/datenschutz/

8. Cookies

8.1 General information on cookies

Cookies are small files that your browser automatically creates and that are stored on your IT device (laptop, tablet, smartphone, etc.) when you visit our site.

Information is stored in the cookie that arises in connection with the specific device used. However, this does not mean that we gain direct knowledge of your identity as a result.

We use cookies to make the use of our offering more pleasant for you. For example, we use so-called session cookies to recognize that you have already visited individual pages of our website. These are automatically deleted after you leave our site.

In addition, we also use temporary cookies to optimize user-friendliness, which are stored on your device for a certain specified period. If you visit our site again to use our services, it is automatically recognized that you have already been with us and which entries and settings you have made, so that you do not have to enter them again.

We also use cookies to statistically record the use of our website and to evaluate it for the purpose of optimizing our offering for you. These cookies enable us to automatically recognize, upon a repeat visit to our website, that you have already visited it. The cookies set in this way are automatically deleted after a defined period. The respective storage duration of the cookies can be found in the settings of the consent tool used.

8.2 Legal basis for the use of cookies

Data processed by cookies that are necessary for the proper functioning of the website are required to protect our legitimate interests and those of third parties pursuant to Art. 6 (1) f) GDPR.

For all other cookies, you have given your consent via our opt-in cookie banner within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) a) GDPR.

9. Content on our website

9.1 Contact / contact form

When you contact us (e.g., via contact form or e-mail), personal data are collected. The data collected when using a contact form can be seen from the respective contact form. These data are stored and used exclusively for the purpose of responding to your request and for the associated technical administration. The legal basis for processing the data is our legitimate interest in responding to your request pursuant to Art. 6 (1) f) GDPR. If your contact aims at concluding a contract, the additional legal basis for processing is Art. 6 (1) b) GDPR. Your data will be deleted after your inquiry has been finally processed; this is the case when it can be inferred from the circumstances that the matter in question has been conclusively clarified and provided that there are no statutory retention obligations to the contrary.

9.2 Application management / job board

We collect and process the personal data of applicants for the purpose of handling the application procedure. Processing may also be carried out electronically. This is particularly the case if an applicant submits corresponding application documents to us by electronic means, for example by e-mail or via a web form on the website. If we conclude an employment or service contract with an applicant, the data transmitted will be stored for the purpose of processing the employment relationship in compliance with the statutory provisions. If we do not conclude a contract with the applicant, the application documents will be automatically deleted six months after the notification of the rejection decision, provided that no other legitimate interests on our part oppose deletion. A legitimate interest in this sense is, for example, the burden of proof in proceedings under the General Equal Treatment Act (AGG).

The legal basis for processing your data is Art. 6 (1) b), Art. 88 GDPR in conjunction with Sec. 26(1) BDSG (German Federal Data Protection Act).

10. Our activities on social networks

To enable us to communicate with you on social networks and to inform you about our services, we maintain our own pages there. If you visit one of our social media pages, we and the provider of the respective platform are joint controllers within the meaning of Art. 26 GDPR for the processing operations triggered as a result.

We are not the original provider of these pages but merely use them within the scope of the options provided by the respective providers.

We therefore note as a precaution that your data may also be processed outside the European Union or the European Economic Area. Use may therefore involve data protection risks for you, as the exercise of your rights (e.g., right of access, erasure, objection, etc.) may be more difficult and processing in social networks often takes place directly for advertising purposes or for analysis of user behavior by the providers, without this being influenced by us. If usage profiles are created by the provider, cookies are often used and the usage behavior is assigned to your own member profile created within the social networks.

The processing operations of personal data described are carried out pursuant to Art. 6 (1) f) GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest and the legitimate interest of the respective provider to communicate with you in a contemporary manner and to inform you about our services. If you have to give consent to data processing to the respective providers, the legal basis is Art. 6 (1) a) GDPR in conjunction with Art. 7 GDPR.

Since we have no access to the providers’ data inventories, we point out that you should best assert your rights (e.g., access, rectification, erasure, etc.) directly with the respective provider. Further information on the processing of your data on social networks is provided below for the social networks we use:

10.1 Instagram

(Joint) controller for data processing in Germany:

11. Advertising

11.1 Google Ads (AdWords) Remarketing/Retargeting

We have integrated Google Ads on this website. The service provider of Google Ads is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (“Google”).

We use this service to advertise this website in Google search results and on third-party websites. For this purpose, Google sets a cookie in your device’s browser which automatically enables interest-based advertising using a pseudonymous cookie ID and based on the pages you have visited.

Further data processing only takes place if you have agreed to Google linking your Internet and app browser history to your Google account and using information from your Google account to personalize ads you see on the web. If you are logged in to Google during your visit to our website in this case, Google uses your data together with Google Analytics data to create and define remarketing target groups across devices. To this end, your personal data are temporarily linked by Google with Google Analytics data to form target groups.

These processing operations take place solely upon the granting of express consent pursuant to Art. 6 (1) a) GDPR.

The parent company, Google LLC, as a US company, is certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework. An adequacy decision pursuant to Art. 45 GDPR therefore exists, allowing transfers of personal data without further safeguards or additional measures.

You can view Google Ads’ data protection provisions and further information at: https://www.google.com/policies/technologies/ads/

11.2 Google Ads with conversion tracking

We have integrated Google Ads on this website. The service provider of Google Ads is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. Google Ads is an online advertising service that enables advertisers to display ads both in Google’s search engine results and in the Google advertising network. Google Ads enables an advertiser to predefine certain keywords by means of which an ad is shown in Google’s search engine results only when the user retrieves a keyword-relevant search result with the search engine. In the Google advertising network, the ads are distributed to websites relevant to the topic by means of an automatic algorithm, taking the predefined keywords into account.

The purpose of Google Ads is to promote our website by displaying interest-relevant advertising on the websites of third-party companies and in Google’s search engine results and to display third-party advertising on our website.

If you reach our website via a Google ad, Google places a so-called conversion cookie on your device. A conversion cookie loses its validity after thirty days and is not used to identify you. If the conversion cookie has not yet expired, it is used to track whether certain subpages — for example the shopping cart of an online shop system — have been accessed on our website. Through the conversion cookie, both we and Google can understand whether a user who reached our website via an Ads ad generated revenue, i.e., completed or canceled a purchase.

The data and information collected through the use of the conversion cookie are used by Google to create visit statistics for our website. We then use these visit statistics to determine the total number of users conveyed to us via Ads ads, i.e., to determine the success or failure of the respective Ads ad and to optimize our Ads ads for the future. Neither our company nor other Google Ads advertisers receive information from Google by which you could be identified.

Personal information, such as the web pages you visited, are stored via the conversion cookie. Each time you visit our website, personal data, including the IP address of the Internet connection you use, are transmitted to Google in the United States of America. These personal data are stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may pass these personal data collected via the technical process on to third parties.

These processing operations take place solely upon the granting of express consent pursuant to Art. 6 (1) a) GDPR.

The parent company, Google LLC, as a US company, is certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework. An adequacy decision pursuant to Art. 45 GDPR therefore exists, allowing transfers of personal data without further safeguards or additional measures.

You can view the data protection provisions and further information from Google (AdSense) at: https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/.

12. Plugins and other services

12.1 Google Tag Manager

We use the Google Tag Manager service on this website. The operator of Google Tag Manager is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. Google Ireland Limited is part of the Google group of companies headquartered at 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.

This tool enables “website tags” (i.e., keywords embedded in HTML elements) to be implemented and managed via an interface. By using Google Tag Manager, we can automatically track which button, link or personalized image you actively clicked and can then record which contents of our website are particularly interesting for you.

The tool also triggers other tags that may in turn collect data. Google Tag Manager does not access these data. Any deactivation at domain or cookie level remains in place for all tracking tags implemented with Google Tag Manager.

These processing operations take place solely upon the granting of express consent pursuant to Art. 6 (1) a) GDPR.

The parent company, Google LLC, as a US company, is certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework. An adequacy decision pursuant to Art. 45 GDPR therefore exists, allowing transfers of personal data without further safeguards or additional measures.

Further information on Google Tag Manager and Google’s Privacy Policy can be found at: https://www.google.com/intl/de/policies/privacy/.

12.2 Google Web Fonts

Our website uses so-called web fonts for the uniform display of fonts. Google Web Fonts are provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. Google Ireland Limited is part of the Google group of companies headquartered at 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.

These processing operations take place solely upon the granting of express consent pursuant to Art. 6 (1) a) GDPR.

The parent company, Google LLC, as a US company, is certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework. An adequacy decision pursuant to Art. 45 GDPR therefore exists, allowing transfers of personal data without further safeguards or additional measures.

Further information on Google Web Fonts and Google’s Privacy Policy can be found at: https://developers.google.com/fonts/faqhttps://www.google.com/policies/privacy/

12.3 hCaptcha (bot/spam protection)

We use hCaptcha provided by Intuition Machines, Inc., USA, to prevent abusive inputs (bots) and to ensure the security of our website.

Data processed: including IP address, referrer URL, date/time of access, browser and device information, mouse/keyboard interactions, cookies where applicable, and the result of the security check.

Purpose: Protecting our web forms and infrastructure against automated attacks and spam.

Legal basis: Art. 6 (1) f) GDPR (legitimate interests in IT and access security); where the service is only loaded after consent additionally Art. 6 (1) f) GDPR (legitimate interests in IT and access security); where the service is only loaded after consent additionally Art. 6

Recipients/third-country transfer: Intuition Machines, Inc. (USA). Where data are transferred to third countries, we use appropriate safeguards (e.g., EU Standard Contractual Clauses). For details, please refer to the provider’s privacy information.

Storage period: determined by the provider; see the provider’s privacy notice for details.

Necessity: Without hCaptcha, certain functions (e.g., contact forms) may not be available.

We have concluded a data processing agreement with the provider (Art. 28 GDPR).

12.4 Consent-Management – Real Cookie Banner
