Terminology used
„Personal data“ means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (hereinafter referred to as the „data subject“); a natural person is regarded as identifiable if they 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 (e.g. a cookie) or to one or more specific characteristics that reflect the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person.
„Processing“ means any operation or set of operations which is carried out on personal data, whether or not by automated means. The term is broad and covers virtually any handling of data.
The term „controller“ refers to the natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data.
Relevant legal bases
In accordance with Art. 13 GDPR, we inform you of the legal basis of our data processing. If the legal basis is not stated in the privacy policy, the following applies: The legal basis for obtaining consent is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a and Art. 7 GDPR, the legal basis for processing to fulfil our services and implement contractual measures and respond to enquiries is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR, the legal basis for processing to fulfil our legal obligations is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR, and the legal basis for processing to protect our legitimate interests is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. In the event that vital interests of the data subject or another natural person require the processing of personal data, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. d GDPR serves as the legal basis.
Cooperation with processors and third parties
Where, in the course of our data processing, we disclose data to other individuals and organisations (data processors or third parties), transfer it to them or otherwise grant them access to the data, this is done only on the basis of a legal authorisation (e.g. where the transfer of data to third parties, such as payment service providers, is necessary for the performance of a contract in accordance with Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR), you have given your consent, a legal obligation requires it, or on the basis of our legitimate interests (e.g. when engaging agents, web hosting providers, etc.).
Where we engage third parties to process data on the basis of a so-called „data processing agreement“, this is done in accordance with Article 28 of the GDPR.
Transfers to third countries
If we process data in a third country (i.e. outside the European Union (EU) or the European Economic Area (EEA)) or if this occurs in the context of the use of third-party services or disclosure or transfer of data to third parties, this will only take place if it is done to fulfil our (pre)contractual obligations, on the basis of your consent, on the basis of a legal obligation or on the basis of our legitimate interests. Subject to legal or contractual authorisations, we only process or have the data processed in a third country if the special requirements of Art. 44 et seq. GDPR are met. This means, for example, that the processing takes place on the basis of special guarantees, such as the officially recognised determination of a level of data protection corresponding to the EU (e.g. for the USA through the "Privacy Shield") or compliance with officially recognised special contractual obligations (so-called "standard contractual clauses").

Cookies and right to object to direct advertising
„Cookies“ are small files that are stored on users„ computers. Various types of information can be stored within cookies. A cookie is primarily used to store information about a user (or the device on which the cookie is stored) during or even after their visit to a website. Temporary cookies, also known as “session cookies„ or “transient cookies„, are cookies that are deleted once a user leaves a website and closes their browser. Such a cookie may, for example, store the contents of a shopping basket in an online shop or a user’s login status. Cookies that remain stored even after the browser is closed are referred to as “permanent„ or “persistent„. For example, a user’s login status may be stored so that it is retained when they return to the site several days later. Such a cookie may also store users“ interests, which are used for audience measurement or marketing purposes. „Third-party cookies“ are cookies provided by providers other than the controller operating the online service (whereas, if only the controller’s own cookies are used, these are referred to as ‘first-party cookies’).
We may use temporary and permanent cookies, and we provide further details on this in our privacy policy.
If users do not wish to have cookies stored on their computer, they are asked to disable the relevant option in their browser’s settings. Stored cookies can be deleted via the browser’s settings. Disabling cookies may result in some features of this website not working properly.

Deletion of data
The data we process will be erased or its processing restricted in accordance with Articles 17 and 18 of the GDPR. Unless expressly stated otherwise in this privacy policy, the data stored by us will be erased as soon as it is no longer required for its intended purpose and there are no statutory retention obligations preventing its erasure. Where data is not erased because it is required for other, legally permissible purposes, its processing will be restricted. This means that the data will be blocked and not processed for any other purposes. This applies, for example, to data that must be retained for reasons relating to funding, commercial or tax law.
In accordance with statutory requirements in Germany, records must be retained for 6 years in particular, pursuant to Section 257(1) of the German Commercial Code (HGB) (commercial ledgers, inventories, opening balance sheets, annual accounts, business correspondence, accounting documents, etc.) and for 10 years in accordance with Section 147(1) of the German Fiscal Code (AO) (ledgers, records, management reports, accounting vouchers, commercial and business correspondence, documents relevant to taxation, etc.).

We process usage data (e.g. the pages visited on our website, interest in our products) and content data (e.g. entries in the contact form or user profile) for advertising purposes within a user profile, in order to display, for example, product recommendations based on the services the user has previously used.
Data is deleted once statutory warranty obligations and similar obligations have expired; the necessity of retaining the data is reviewed every three years; in the case of statutory archiving obligations, the data is deleted once these have expired. Any information held in a customer account remains there until the account is deleted.

The data is processed for the purposes of organising, running, invoicing and following up on the seminars. This may also involve passing on specific data to service providers such as transport companies or hotels.
In accordance with the statutory provisions, the data will be transferred to the relevant grant-awarding body upon request, pursuant to Article 6(1)(c).

The following information sets out the content of our newsletter, as well as the procedures for subscription, distribution and statistical analysis, and your rights to object. By subscribing to our newsletter, you agree to receive it and to the procedures described.
Contents of the newsletter: We send out newsletters, emails and other electronic communications containing promotional information (hereinafter referred to as „newsletters“) only with the consent of the recipients or where permitted by law. Where the content of the newsletter is specifically described as part of the subscription process, this content forms the basis for the user’s consent. In addition, our newsletters contain information about our services and our organisation.
Double opt-in and logging: Subscription to our newsletter is carried out using a ‘double opt-in’ procedure. This means that, after signing up, you will receive an email asking you to confirm your subscription. This confirmation is necessary to ensure that nobody can subscribe using someone else’s email address. Newsletter subscriptions are logged so that we can provide evidence of the subscription process in accordance with legal requirements.

An individual request for erasure may be made at any time, provided that the prior existence of consent is confirmed at the same time.
Newsletter – Parcel delivery service provider
The newsletter is sent by the mailing service provider Newsletter2Go, Köpenicker Str. 126, 10179 Berlin, Germany. You can view the data protection provisions of the mailing service provider here: https://www.newsletter2go.de/datenschutz/. The delivery service provider is engaged on the basis of our legitimate interests pursuant to Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR and a data processing agreement pursuant to Article 28(3), first sentence, of the GDPR.
The delivery service provider may use recipients’ data in pseudonymous form – i.e. without linking it to a specific user – to optimise or improve its own services, for example to technically optimise the delivery and presentation of newsletters, or for statistical purposes. However, the mailing service provider does not use the data of our newsletter recipients to contact them directly or to pass the data on to third parties.
Newsletter – Measuring Success
The newsletters contain a so-called „web beacon“, i.e. a pixel-sized file which is retrieved from our server – or, if we use a mailing service provider, from their server – when the newsletter is opened. As part of this retrieval process, technical information – such as details about your browser and system – as well as your IP address and the time of retrieval are initially collected.
This information is used to improve the services technically, based on technical data or on target groups and their reading behaviour, as determined by their location (which can be identified using their IP address) or the times at which they access the site. Statistical analyses also include determining whether newsletters are opened, when they are opened and which links are clicked. For technical reasons, this information can be traced back to individual newsletter recipients. However, it is neither our intention, nor—where applicable—that of the mailing service provider, to monitor individual users. Rather, the analyses help us to identify our users’ reading habits and adapt our content accordingly, or to send different content based on our users’ interests.
Reach measurement with Matomo
As part of Matomo’s audience analysis, the following data is processed on the basis of our legitimate interests (i.e. our interest in the analysis, optimisation and commercial operation of our online service within the meaning of Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR): the type and version of browser you use, the operating system you use, your country of origin, the date and time of the server request, the number of visits, the length of time you spend on the website, and the external links you click on. Users’ IP addresses are anonymised before being stored.
Matomo uses cookies which are stored on users’ computers and which enable an analysis of how users utilise our online service. Pseudonymous user profiles may be created from the processed data. The cookies are stored for one week. The information generated by the cookie regarding your use of this website is stored solely on our server and is not passed on to third parties.
„This also applies when users access our site via a link.“
Users may object to the anonymised collection of data by the Matomo programme at any time, with effect for the future, by clicking on the link below. In this case, a so-called opt-out cookie will be stored in their browser, with the result that Matomo will no longer collect any session data. However, if users delete their cookies, this will also result in the opt-out cookie being deleted and will therefore need to be reactivated by the users.
Online presence in social media
We maintain an online presence on social media networks and platforms so that we can communicate with customers, prospective customers and users who are active on these platforms and keep them informed about our services.
We would like to point out that this may involve the processing of users’ data outside the European Union. This may entail risks for users, as it could, for example, make it more difficult to enforce their rights. With regard to US providers certified under the Privacy Shield, we would like to point out that they are thereby obliged to comply with the EU’s data protection standards.
Furthermore, users’ data is generally processed for market research and advertising purposes. For example, usage profiles can be created based on users’ behaviour and the resulting interests. These user profiles may in turn be used, for example, to display adverts both within and outside the platforms that are likely to correspond to users’ interests. For these purposes, cookies are usually stored on users’ computers, in which their usage behaviour and interests are recorded. Furthermore, data may also be stored in the usage profiles regardless of the devices used by users (in particular where users are members of the respective platforms and are logged in to them).
The processing of users’ personal data is carried out on the basis of our legitimate interests in providing users with effective information and communicating with them, in accordance with Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. If users are asked by the relevant providers to give their consent to data processing (i.e. to give their consent, for example, by ticking a box or clicking a button), the legal basis for the processing is Article 6(1)(a) and Article 7 of the GDPR.
For a detailed explanation of the respective processing activities and the options for objecting (opt-out), please refer to the information provided by the providers via the links below.
We would also like to point out that, in the case of requests for information and the exercise of users’ rights, these can most effectively be addressed to the service providers themselves. Only the service providers have access to users’ data and can take appropriate action and provide information directly. Should you nevertheless require assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Integration of third-party services and content
Within our online service, we rely on our legitimate interests (i.e. our interest in the analysis, optimisation and commercial operation of our online service within the meaning of Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR) to incorporate content or services from third-party providers in order to integrate their content and services, such as videos or fonts (hereinafter collectively referred to as “content”).
This always presupposes that the third-party providers of this content collect users„ IP addresses, as they would be unable to send the content to users“ browsers without them. The IP address is therefore required for the content to be displayed. We endeavour to use only such content where the respective providers use the IP address solely for the purpose of delivering the content. Third-party providers may also use so-called pixel tags (invisible graphics, also known as „web beacons“) for statistical or marketing purposes. These ‘pixel tags’ enable information such as visitor traffic on the pages of this website to be analysed. This pseudonymous information may also be stored in cookies on the user’s device and may include, amongst other things, technical information about the browser and operating system, referring websites, time of visit and further details regarding the use of our online service, as well as being linked to such information from other sources.
Youtube
We integrate the videos of the platform "YouTube" of the provider Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. Privacy policy: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/Opt-Out: https://adssettings.google.com/authenticated.
Use of Facebook social plugins
On the basis of our legitimate interests (i.e. interest in the analysis, optimisation and economic operation of our online offer within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f. GDPR), we use social plugins ("plugins") of the social network facebook.com, which is operated by Facebook Ireland Ltd. GDPR) social plugins ("plugins") of the social network facebook.com, which is operated by Facebook Ireland Ltd, 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland ("Facebook"). The plugins can display interaction elements or content (e.g. videos, graphics or text contributions) and are recognisable by one of the Facebook logos (white "f" on a blue tile, the terms "Like", "Gefällt mir" or a "thumbs up" sign) or are marked with the addition "Facebook Social Plugin". The list and appearance of Facebook social plugins can be viewed here: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/.
Facebook is certified under the Privacy Shield Agreement and thereby guarantees compliance with European data protection law (https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt0000000GnywAAC&status=Active).
When a user accesses a feature of this online service that contains such a plug-in, their device establishes a direct connection to Facebook’s servers. The content of the plug-in is transmitted directly by Facebook to the user’s device and integrated into the website. In the process, user profiles may be created from the data processed. We therefore have no influence over the scope of the data that Facebook collects via this plug-in and are therefore informing users in accordance with the information available to us.
By integrating the plugins, Facebook receives information that a user has accessed the relevant page of the website. If the user is logged into Facebook, Facebook can associate the visit with their Facebook account. When users interact with the plugins – for example, by clicking the ‘Like’ button or posting a comment – the relevant information is transmitted directly from your device to Facebook and stored there. Even if a user is not a member of Facebook, it is still possible for Facebook to obtain and store their IP address. According to Facebook, only an anonymised IP address is stored in Germany.
Users can find details of the purpose and scope of data collection, as well as the further processing and use of data by Facebook, and the relevant rights and settings options for protecting users’ privacy, in Facebook’s privacy policy: https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/.
If a user is a Facebook member and does not wish Facebook to collect data about them via this website and link it to their membership data stored on Facebook, they must log out of Facebook and delete their cookies before using our website. Further settings and the option to object to the use of data for advertising purposes are available within the Facebook profile settings: https://www.facebook.com/settings?tab=ads or via the US-American site http://www.aboutads.info/choices/ or the EU side http://www.youronlinechoices.com/. The settings are platform-independent, i.e. they are adopted for all devices, such as desktop computers or mobile devices.
Functions and content of the Twitter service, offered by Twitter Inc, 1355 Market Street, Suite 900, San Francisco, CA 94103, USA, may be integrated into our online offering. This may include, for example, content such as images, videos or texts and buttons with which users can express their favour regarding the content, subscribe to the authors of the content or our contributions.
